I haven't gone back and watched this since the first time I saw it, but I remember it well enough to say that most of the complaints you guys voice are things that bothered me as well- eg, the voice acting, the deviations from the book (especially the scene with the head which now makes no sense), the green monkey's fur looking weird, etc. Taking a quick glance at it now, it actually looks even crummier than I was willing to admit at the time.
I'm embarrassed to say that if you look on YouTube, you can still see a comment I left on the last part of the movie that suggests my overall impression of the production was mostly favorable. In my defense, I knew it wasn't great, but having some inkling of how complicated animation can be, I didn't want to come across as too discouraging. Besides, I found it to be pretty impressive for something that had been put together by a group of amateur volunteers all over the world. I still think it's cool that we now live in an age in which films can be produced in this fashion. There are perhaps similar amateur collaborations out there that are more well made than this, though.
Jared makes an interesting point about the way the original story turned a trope on its head by having the Tin Woodman embark on a quest to find the woman he loved, but then happily return home empty handed. However, one thing I kind of liked about this adaptation was the tin love interest they added to the story. The fact that he lacked a "loving heart" in the book and was only going to marry Nimmie Amee out of a sense of obligation just struck me as sad the last time I read it.
Your dissection of the film was pretty thorough. The only thing that stood out to me that I didn't hear addressed was the way they seemed to imbue the Scarecrow with some of the Cowardly Lion's personality. Scarecrow? More like Scaredycrow.

Because nothing is good for ratings like drugs, CNBC has announced the date for its next marijuana special.Another porn show can't be far.
One-Hour Documentary Reported by CNBC's Trish Regan to Premiere on CNBC on Wednesday, December 8th at 9PM ET/PT
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., November 22, 2010—On Wednesday, December 8th at 9PM ET/PT, CNBC presents "Marijuana USA," a CNBC Original reported by Trish Regan, that takes viewers back inside the flourishing pot industry—as the world's most commonly used illicit drug comes out of the shadows and into mainstream. As more states pass laws permitting the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, the once vilified weed is being met with a newfound acceptance. Some hope—and others fear—the whole country may soon be going to pot.
Correspondent Trish Regan reports from Colorado, where a new and thriving marijuana industry is infusing much-needed capital and jobs into a weak economy. In Colorado, this fast growing business is attracting a new generation of marijuana entrepreneurs—savvy, young professionals emerging from the unlikely fields of finance, biotechnology, government and medicine—who are re-branding pot as a natural herbal remedy and selling it openly in dispensaries all over town. The state now has more pot dispensaries than it does Starbucks, and authorities not only sanction the drug, but also regulate, licence, and tax it, like any other product.
But, even as fifteen states and the District of Columbia allow for medical marijuana, the drug remains in clear violation of federal laws. Federal law enforcement officers and anti-drug officials vow they will not surrender. CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, travels to the frontlines of America's weed wars—from the fierce political campaign to legalise the drug in California to the ambitious air and ground campaign to search for marijuana plots deep in the mountainous terrain of eastern Kentucky. CNBC's Regan speaks with Lieutenant Brent Roper, the commander of Kentucky's marijuana strike force, who swears that Kentucky will be the last state to ever legalise marijuana as just another taxable commodity.
Regan also takes viewers to Portugal—the first country in the world to fully decriminalize the possession of all drugs. She speaks with Joao Goulao, Portugal's drug czar and the chief architect of this strategy, about the country's unique and radical drug policy.
Looking further into the business of marijuana, CNBC takes viewers inside a busy medical clinic near Denver, CO, where marijuana is almost always the doctor's order. Dr. James Boland, a physician of 20-five years, works for a clinic that has brought in more than a million dollars in just its first year of business, attracting patients in search of a medical marijuana licence. But, although it's a profitable business, the jury is still out among researchers and doctors as to whether marijuana really is an effective treatment option.
CNBC.com has added new stories to its comprehensive special report, "Marijuana & Money," which, through the lens of business, thoroughly examines the state of marijuana in America, including the costs and impact – both positive and negative – that legalization might have on the economy, government and, ultimately, the consumer. New topics addressed include the "Hydroponics Boom," which looks at how the manufacture, distribution and retail of hydroponics equipment has become a nearly half-billion business; the explosive growth of "Marijuana Testing Labs;" and a profile of Mile High Ice Cream, a company that has found a tasty way to capture some of Colorado's fast-growing medical marijuana market.
CNBC's Trish Regan is co-anchor of "The Call" (M-F, 11AM-12PM ET). Regan is author of the upcoming book, "Joint Ventures: Inside America's Almost Legal Marijuana Industry," due out April 20, 2011 and published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Mitch Weitzner is the Senior Executive Producer of "Marijuana USA." Nina Alvarez, Na Eng and Morgan Brasfield are Producers. Ray Borelli is the Vice President of Strategic Research, Scheduling and Long Form Programming.
"Marijuana USA" will re-air on Wednesday, December 8th at 10PM ET/PT, Thursday, December 9th at 8PM ET and 12AM ET and Sunday, December 12th at 10PM ET.

GAME Appeal
The Court of Appeal has this morning found in favour of the landlords in the case of Jervis & Others v Pillar Denton and Others.
International law firm BLP, acted for the landlords and BLP Real Estates Disputes Partner, Michael Metliss, said: "This decision is a landmark one and should bring welcome clarity to what has become a contentious area of law in recent years. The landlord community will welcome the decision, knowing that they will receive payment for the use of their property by companies in administration."
The decision will mean rents and service charges will now be payable as administration expenses whilst a lease is used for the benefit of an administration, even when they became due pre-administration. Much like utilities, they will be paid for each day that properties are occupied.
Administrators will also now have certainty of the rental liabilities that they will be required to pay, if they make use of leased properties.
On 26 March 2013, a number of companies within the Game Group of companies entered into administration. On the previous day, the March quarter day, rent and service charges became payable under the Group's occupational leases. The administrators did not pay those sums as administration expenses, even though the companies continued to trade from many of the retail stores throughout the remainder of the quarter. In doing so, they relied on a High court decision in an earlier administration case, that companies in administration were not liable to pay as administration expenses sums that became payable before an administration starts. The affected landlords would be denied priority, and have to claim those sums as unsecured creditors.
Notes to Editors:
• For more information please contact BLP on 0203 400 4723 or 07552 799979, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here is The Roundup, Edition 5, bringing you the best from around the web from the past two weeks!
Blast from the Past
Last May (2012), I wrote an entire series on salt, including the history of salt in the human diet, the dangers of salt restriction, and my recommendations for a healthy salt intake. There's no evidence that adding salt to taste to a whole foods, Paleo diet is unhealthy, and salt restriction to the level recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) is not only completely unnecessary, it's potentially harmful. There are far more effective ways to reduce blood pressure and the risk for heart disease and stroke than salt restriction, such as increasing dietary intake of potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
Now, a New York Times article explains how a new expert committee, commissioned by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) at the request of the CDC, confirmed that there's no rationale restricting sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams a day—let alone the AHA target of 1,500 mg per day. The IOM committee also agrees that a sodium intake this low could increase rates of heart attacks and the risk of death in certain populations. It's incredible to me that this is still considered a controversial topic and that there is so much disagreement between various health organizations on how much salt is "too much" for the general population. It's perfectly reasonable for most people to consume between 3-4 grams per day, which is right around the world average for salt intake (3,400 mg/day or ~1.5 tsp salt).
Hopefully this (non) issue will be settled soon, and we can focus our attention on the dietary components that really do make a difference in the general population's health.
Research Report
- New evidence suggests that gluten intolerance may drive at least some cases of IBS.
- Research finds that sunlight prolongs lifespan by lowering blood pressure, demonstrating how the benefits of sun exposure outweigh the risks.
- A new study suggests lowest risk of death occurs at vitamin D levels between 20-36 ng/mL. (Note that 20-30 ng/mL is deficiency according to current standards. I will discuss this on my next podcast.)
- A hospital survey found that kids living in the U.S. who were born elsewhere are 59 percent less likely to have allergic diseases, but their risk increases with time spent in the country.

Although temperatures dropped well into the single digits last week, that didn't stop puppies from Wantagh, Seaford and Levittown from playing in the first snowfall of the year.
The National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Warning and a Coastal Flood Advisory for Nassau County on Jan. 4, which lasted through until the next day. The storm dropped nearly 14 inches of snow, blanketing communities, and brought frigid, heavy winds.
School districts canceled classes, the shovels came out and children — along with their furry friends — ventured outside to take in the fresh powder and enjoy the heaps of snow.

Roberts Confirmed!
Confirmed 78-22, Chief Justice Roberts will be sworn in this afternoon:
The Senate voted 78 to 22 in favor of sending Roberts to be the top judge of the land Thursday as President Bush's selection to replace the late William H. Rehnquist (search). It was the first vote for a Supreme Court justice in 11 years.
Roberts watched the Senate vote on television from the White House's Roosevelt Room. The president shook Roberts' hand after the vote, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters.
Roberts and his wife Jane were to have lunch with the president and first lady Laura Bush, followed by a 3 p.m. EDT swearing-in ceremony at the White House so he could take his seat in time for the new court session Monday. Justice John Paul Stevens, the acting chief justice, will administer the oath of office.
Here are the 'no' votes:
Akaka (D-HI)
Bayh (D-IN)
Biden (D-DE)
Boxer (D-CA)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Corzine (D-NJ)
Dayton (D-MN)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Obama (D-IL)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)
No surprises there. We know that Bayh has been extreme with his voting because of a presumed run at the White House in '08. But, you have to wonder how far left he can go before his Red State of Indiana (60% Bush in '04) gives him the boot?
Obama is true to form as the Strong Leftist he is. We know the democrat media will not point this out when they promote their "golden boy" for higher office, so I just thought I'd point that out.
Hillary voted from the heart. She was also thinking of '08.
Dayton, Kennedy, Boxer are three nuts. Turbin Durbin makes four. Cantwell makes five.
A headline today shows a Republican Party once again acting like the minority with the coming appointment:
GOP Urges Dems to Avoid Partisanship in Court Debate
Soft! And, you have to like how the dems are playing this already. They say they will put up a strong fight if…
"If the president sends us a nominee who is committed to an agenda of turning back the clock on civil rights, workers' rights, individual autonomy or other vital constitutional protections, there will likely be a fight."
That, I suppose excuses them of their coming asinine and toxic behavior.
The Anchoress has one of the best catches of the day with her review of how well Governor Blanco was treated yesterday in Washington. I wonder if they all went out for drinks later on?
John at Powerline is predicting what is to come with the next SCOTUS selection.
"Blogs for Bush" is asking "Do the Demmocrats want a Civil War?"… after the attacks on Delay and Chief Justice Roberts.
Bare Knuckle Politics has a video of Charles Schumer on "O'Reilly Factor" saying he would vote "yes", and, as you can see above, his actual vote.

Strong performance; excellent performance value; comfortable interior; a modern design with retro cues
The 2013 Mustang comes in a wide set of models, ranging from casual sunny-day cruising or daily commuting to serious, track-ready performance. Both Coupe or Convertible body styles are offered in V6, V6 Premium, GT, and GT Premium models, while the very high-performance Boss 302 is only offered as a Coupe.
All Mustang models are 4-seaters; although convertibles are somewhat smaller in back, they're still a bit better for back-seat space than most convertibles. The power soft-top arrangement in Mustangs is tight and weatherproof, and takes up very little trunk space.
Base Mustang models come with a 3.7L V6, making 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, all GT models instead come with a 5.0L V8, now rated at 420 horsepower for 2013. At the top of the lineup, the Boss 302 makes 444 horsepower. With the optional 6-speed automatic, Mustangs get a new SelectShift toggle that allows you to click up or down a gear, with full manual control.
All 2013 Mustang models come with electric power steering, which saves fuel compared to hydraulic systems and it quite precise and nicely weighted here. The system also has features that might reduce fatigue from crosswinds and wheel ?shimmy.'
Both engines utilize Ford's Ti-VCT variable valve timing system, which affords both impressive high-rev power, strong torque at low revs, and great gas mileage-with EPA ratings of up to 31 mpg on the highway for the V6.
The Mustang's contemporary pony-car look carries over for 2013, only for 2013 it's been given a somewhat more aggressive look, with a more prominent grille design, plus new heat extractors for the GT and a new hood on all models. All models now include standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and new three-bar LED rear lamps-plus a new gloss-black panel connecting the taillights.
Base models of the Mustang include cruise control, air conditioning, a CD sound system with auxiliary input, remote keyless entry, and Ford's MyKey system, which allows parents to place limits on performance, or to set up alerts on vehicle use. GT models include an upgraded appearance throughout, including painted aluminum wheels, a dual exhaust, LED fog lamps, body-color blind spot mirrors, and aluminum pedals and scuff plates. On either of these models, Premium versions add leather seats, a MyColor customizable interior lighting system, a universal garage-door opener, an upgraded Shaker sound system with subwoofers and Sirius satellite radio, and Sync hands-free calling.
The Boss 302 builds on cues from the legendary 1970 Boss 302 and includes a special high-performance version of the 5.0L V8, plus a 3.73 limited-slip axle, adjustable shocks, a stiffer suspension with strut-tower brace, Brembo front brakes, unique black-painted wheels and cloth sport bucket seats, plus a unique front grille, lower air diffuser and black rear decklid spoiler.
New this year for both V6 and GT models are more supportive Recaro performance seats, A Performance Package available on V6 models adds a 3.31 axle ratio, summer performance tires on 19-inch wheels, a performance calibration for the stability control system, a strut-tower brace and the firmer suspension tune from the Mustang GT.
For 2012, the Mustang gets a new hood and grille, plus LED accent lighting and standard HID headlamps. All Mustang models with the automatic transmission now get a SelectShift feature that allows full manual control.
A Track Package has been introduced for GT models for 2013; it's offered only in manual GT Mustangs with the 3.73 axle and includes upgraded cooling, performance Brembo vented front discs, 19-inch alloy wheels and performance tires, and the Boss 302's Torsen differential.
Also new to the Mustang lineup is a 4.2-inch LCD productivity screen that includes trip-computer functions, as well as a new Track Apps function--displaying performance metrics like g forces and acceleration times. And the Recaro sport seats that have until now been the exclusive domain of the Shelby GT500 and Boss 302 models are now available on other Mustangs.
Deep Impact Blue and Gotta Have It Green are new exterior hues added to the Mustang palette for 2013.
The Mustang got an extensive redesign a couple of years ago, and it carries through with that same heritage pony-car look. Mustangs remain one of the strongest performance-coupe values for the money, thanks to prices that start in the low twenties and a bottom-line price of about $35k for a well-equipped GT Coupe. Additionally, Mustang Convertibles are one of the better picks for those who plan to make an impression when cruising and plan to carry passengers in the back seat.
Meanwhile, the powerful Boss 302 version is the choice for those who plan to do weekend racing and are willing to give up a slight bit of comfort.

"When we have the ability to replace failing organs or tissues, both the duration and quality of life should increase significantly.�
AD: What makes tissue engineering such an important field of research?
KA: Tissue engineering represents the next frontier in biomedicine. For the first time in medical history, we are hopeful that we will achieve regeneration of tissues and organs that have been traditionally considered to be non-healing. Examples include articular cartilage, tendons, kidney, nerves and even the heart.
AD: How far away are we from building whole organs, bones or even limbs? What are the problems with growing limbs in laboratories?
KA: We may not be as far from building a portion of a limb as one might think. Some experiments have already resulted in small, accurately built bones. The main issue with growing limbs in the lab is the sheer size of the tissue that needs to be grown. There are numerous scientific constraints on how large a tissue or organ one can produce. Equally, if not more complex, are issues of incorporating cartilage, tendons, ligaments, vascularity and nerves into the final product. Not an easy quest.
AD: How will engineered organs change the transplanting process?
KA: Mr. Doe, a young adult, is playing football, when he sustains a bad injury in his knee, fracturing one of his knee menisci. His orthopedic surgeon consults a catalog of standard sizes from his friendly tissue engineering company and orders an appropriate sized meniscus. The meniscus arrives the next day and the patient receives a brand-new, fully functional, fully biological and fully compatible meniscus, which is inserted and attached arthroscopically; essentially using a small portal in his knee. Where issues of acceptance or rejection are extremely important, the physician will extract primitive cells from the patient and send them to the tissue engineering company. There, the cells are placed on biodegradable scaffolds under appropriate conditions, until a fully functional organ is produced for subsequent transplantation into the patient. This prospect of ready-made or made-to-order tissues and organs gets me very excited and motivated.
AD: Which medical conditions will be the first to be treated or cured by tissue engineering?
KA: Already, engineered skin tissue products are available. Skin, cartilage and bone appear to be on top of the list. If these succeed, we will see a tremendous boon in treating a very large portion of our population, such as burn patients, young people with cartilage damage, osteoarthritic patients, and people with non-union fractures or missing bone due to cancer.
AD: What are some of the future non-medical uses of tissue engineering? Are there cosmetic uses?
KA: Cosmetic uses of tissue engineering involving the nose, ear, lip and breast have the potential of becoming routine in the future, although most of our efforts currently are in more basic medical problems.
AD: Will tissue engineering allow people to live longer? Couldn't tissue engineering be used to rebuild parts of the body as they wear out?
KA: Yes and yes. Many people die because of a failing organ or because of stress created by a failing organ. When we have the ability to replace failing organs or tissues, both the duration and quality of life should increase significantly. We may discover that many of our approaches suffer from intractable problems and need to be abandoned. Overall, however, I think that we are only beginning to realize the possibilities of tissue engineering.
In 1995, the first wholly engineered skin tissues were developed from scratch in a laboratory. This marked the unofficial beginning of the science of tissue engineering. As a result, burn victims and those with otherwise damaged skin can now receive lab-grown skin grafts.
Defined as the science of building body parts, tissue engineering uses stem cells as its raw material. These powerful cells divide and then transform into any number of different cells. Harvested from parts of the body, or from an embryo, these cells can turn into a heart valve as easily as an eardrum. That's why tissue engineering can potentially help those who need transplants. Each year some 6,000 Americans die waiting for organ donors. But tissue engineering could simplify the entire process.
The next generation of engineered tissues may include lab-born limbs and whole organs, including even hearts and brains. Eventually, tissue engineering could serve some superficial purposes. Want a different nose? Grow it and then graft it on. But of course, medical problems will come first. Someday, badly performing body parts may simply be replaced, predicts Rice University's Kyriacos Athanasiou, whose tissue engineering research focuses on the healing processes of cartilage. Athanasiou is founder of three private companies that develop tissue engineering therapies. American Demographics' David Whelan spoke with this pioneer about the future of tissue engineering.

The information economy is a combination of two basic things:
- Doing work and producing things.
- Talking about work, and talking about producing things.
The United States, as a whole, has been transitioning from (1) to (2) over the past 50 years, although we are also, to some extent, reinventing the ways in which we do work and produce things, in digital terms. But the transition away from production toward "making money as a sir effect of other people producing things" is showing pretty strong.
After everything is said and done, there's always a lot more said than done.
You can make a case that mortgage-backed securities, insurance, Gmail, Facebook, Goldman Sachs as a whole, and Skype are all Category 2 activities, as are the meetings in which we all spend half our days, talking about what we're going to do.
You can also make a good case that Tesla Motors, Make Magazine, SpaceX, and Google Glass are proof that we're making a resurgence back to Category 1 production-based roots.
But this is all backdrop against which I am considering the computer industry itself, the purveyor of tools for the information economy: where is the growth market for people using computing technology: Category 1, or Category 2, and which way is it trending?
I believe that real computers -- laptops and desktops -- will hold a firm grip on the part of the economy that actually produces work product, whether it's manufacturing or spreadsheets, images, video, or the written word. You need a real keyboard, a big screen, and a file system to "do work".
Mobile platforms, on the other hand, are great for communication, keeping up in real time, touching base, chatting, updating status, checking in. You just can't actually type a paragraph or edit anything meaningful.
The real reason that Mobile is a high-growth area right now, outselling computers and seeming like a trend, is that people are backfilling a void that has existed, where these tools were not part of the workflow -- and also that the phones/tablets themselves have short-life obsolescence built in, so you need to update them a lot more often.
But I simply do not believe that mobile technology is replacing desktop/laptop technology. I think it is augmenting it, as a better communications platform, which is why the phone itself has proven to be the perfect platform for this: it's communications technology, not work-producing technology.
If you believe that people doing real work and producing things is disappearing and we're all going to just be talking about it on our tablets and phones -- and if you're actually right about that -- then I'm moving to some other country.

Des icônes permettant de la symbologie sous ArcGIS sont disponibles sur la plateforme GitHub
ArcGIS Solutions symbols now have a repo on GitHub
by bbooth on April 17, 2014
- 0 129 137
ArcGIS Solutions, which include Local Government, Utilities, Intelligence, and Military, to name a few, now have a GitHub Repo dedicated to symbols used in our templates. The first symbol set in the repo is the SIGACT symbols used in the Incident Analysis Template.
The SIGACT Incident symbols are a set of point symbols designed to indicate a location where an incident occurred. These symbols have been tested by experts in the military field, and are designed to be clear and used with little assistance of a legend. The symbols are designed at 18×18 pixels.
The Solutions Symbols are available in three formats:
- Style File: this ArcGIS format allows you to import the .PNG marker symbols into ArcMap as a group.
- SVG: a folder of .SVG files designed to be edited in vector graphics programs.
- PNG: a folder of .PNG files designed to be edited in raster graphics programs.
How to import the .style into ArcMap from the GitHub Repo:
- From the styles folder of the repo, download the .style file to a location on your computer.
- In ArcMap, add the style file to your map document through the Style Manager.
The symbols in the style will now be available when you change the symbology on a point layer.
How to create your own symbols:
- Draw the symbol in the vector graphics editor of your choice.
- Save the symbol as a Scalable Vector Graphic (.SVG) file.
- Using the SVGtoPNG.bat file in the \solutions-symbology-data-master\tools folder (in the GitHub repo) you can create a folder of .PNGs from your .SVG files in one step. Edit the SVGtoPNG.bat file to point to your folder locations.
- In ArcMap, create a new style file through the Style Manager. For more info, check out the symbols and styles help topic.
- With a point feature class in your ArcMap document, open the Symbol Selector by double clicking on your point feature in the ArcMap table of contents.
- Click the Edit Symbol button on the right side of the Symbol Selector.
- In the Symbol Property Editor, click the Type drop down menu and click Picture Marker Symbol.
- Navigate to your folder of PNGs and select the first PNG you want to add to your style file.
- Make sure to adjust the size of the symbol in ArcMap. ArcMap uses points while other graphics programs use pixels. For example, the SIGACT Incident Symbols were developed at 18×18 pixels. When converted to points they should be imported into ArcMap at 13.5×13.5 points. If you do not convert the symbols they may not render as well as you would like. To convert pixels to points for importing into ArcMap, follow this formula, where 72 is equal to pixels per inch and 96 is equal to the standard computer monitor resolution:
- Return to the Symbol Selector dialog and click Save as.
- Navigate to your newly created Style File and add a name for your newly added symbol.
- Click Finish. Repeat this process to add all of your symbols to your style file.
To automate this process you can use this utility on GitHub.
How to contribute your symbols to the Solutions Symbology Data repo:
- Create a GitHub login (https://github.com/) if you dont have one.
- Go to the Solutions Symbology Data repo (https://github.com/Esri/solutions-symbology-data).
- Fork the repo (for info about how to do this, see: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo).
- Add your style to the styles folder, add your PNGs to the pngs folder, add your SVGs to the svgs folder.
- Commit your changes (in GitHub for Windows).
- Submit a Pull Request (https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) to the main Solutions Symbology Data repo.

Mission Statement
Alleviation of rural poverty among the poverty stricken rural women in Jinja District.
Rural Women Development Association (RUWODA) is a newly formed Association was founded by mainly women with support of a few men to bring them together and sharing information, experience, skills and other resources to help them improve on the quality of their lives. The Association intends to look into the causes, effects and consequences of rural poverty inflicted upon women. This will in turn help them play a big role in the participation of the Alleviation of poverty among the rural women population. The Association was formed in July 2003. The areas to be covered initially are Mafubira, Lwanda, Namulesa and Mutai which are located in Jinja District, 5km away from Jinja town. Overall most women reside in rural areas engaging in subsistence agriculture and have low levels of formal education and meager assets thus poverty is severe in rural areas and acute among women. The Project has acquired an office space (rented premise) located within the Jinja Municipality in Jinja District.

FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA, - February 19th was an historic day for Students Helping Honduras and Villa Soleada Bilingual School as they celebrated the ground breaking of a new high school. Villa Soleada Bilingual School is a top bilingual school in Honduras and is very proud to celebrate another milestone with the ground breaking of the Ken and Lynn Hall High School.
The community in El Progreso and the Students Helping Honduras (SHH) organization began the construction of the six classroom school building with an official ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration. The students and staff we're thrilled to celebrate the ground breaking of the school with the community who has shown much patience, dedication, and hope for their students.
When SHH inaugurated the Villa Soleada Bilingual School in 2012 with a first grade class, they had big dreams. Since then, they've been adding a grade level to the school every year. They are contending to become the village with the highest bilingual graduation rate in Honduras. The high school ground breaking ceremony was one of the final steps in education for the students to complete the Villa Soleada Bilingual School. The high school building will be completed by local families, employees and American college students that have chosen to take an alternative spring break to assist with the construction. The school will be ready for the first students in the Fall of 2020.
The school is being named after Ken and Lynn Hall, the generous benefactors who made a $60,000 donation to cover half the costs of construction. Ken and Lynn Hall, residents of Carmichael, California are part of the Sacramento chapter of Students Helping Honduras. Ken Hall shared: "We are very excited to help build a high school that these students are going to be able to attend. It is so fun to see how excited all of the students are about the new high school. Every one of them said they are going to graduate. They are wonderful kids and they deserve that opportunity."
Shin Fujiyama, founder of SHH shared his gratitude "We are very grateful for the Hall contribution that will allow us to build a high school at the Villa Soleada Bilingual School. Thank you for Ken and Lynn Hall for your dedicated support and strong belief that the bilingual students can achieve their dreams through the power of education!"

Just a follow-up here. 1) When you claim that, "they" went through the archives, who, exactly do you claim "they" to be?2) You claim, "…all they could find…" was some unreleased material from the Hammersmith '78 show. How do you know that's all that was found? Perhaps more was indeed found, but, this is all that was chosen to have been worthy of use.3) Like the bands who recorded cover versions or not, they're certainly, "somebodies", and not, "nobodies". Just because you may not have heard of some of them, to call them, "nobodies" only shows ignorance.4) "Hardly a labour of love"? Ummmm,…do you know exactly how long it took, from stem to stern, to finally have this box set see the light of day? Labor? Most definitely! "Of love"? Well,…there certainly must be a depth of admiration, enthusiasm, and passion, to devote almost a year-and-a-half (true labor!) to a project. Seems to me like this beautiful, abundant, celebrated set was a true, "labor of love", in the truest sense of each word.
The new artwork is terrible as well. I love the original cover..
Text-book fanboi nonsense.
Isn't anybody who checks in here...who contributes here....who shares or debates here, exactly that? "Fanboys", or, "fangirls", that is?
It really begs the question though Dods why not release the 5.1 as a standalone and not as part of an expensive box set ,which is pissing a lot of folk off so I've heard.I'm certainly not going for this as we already have the studio re release from 2015 in the vinyl format and I'm not altogether that fussed about a couple of extra tracks from a live recording that is available as a roio ,definitely don't want a reprint of the 1978 tour book nor the the tacky ring thing nor the slip mat for that matter.
We all know the answer to that....kerchiiiiiing!Not interested in the slightest in the cover versions...or the tat....just give us the back catalogue in blue ray 5.1 and 200 gram half speed mastered virgin vinyl and we may still grumble in our boots but we will still pay over the odds for it
Don't be daft Rush would never release a decent sounding version if the fanbois are paying over the odds for crap like this .
Hmmmm. Interesting. Well,...I considered your verdict that my reply was, "fanboy nonsense". I re-read what I had written, and, upon further review, have decided that you're just plain wrong. My reply included merely questions, or, facts. My first point was just a question, which has gone unanswered. Similarly, my second point also simply posed a question, with a logical conclusion. My third point was a simple citation of definitive ignorance. And, my final point was in fact, an accurate reference to the time it took, from stem to stern, to put this fantastic package together. So, "fanboy"? Sure. But,...aren't you? Aren't we all? Isn't anybody who checks in here...who contributes here....who shares or debates here, exactly that? "Fanboys", or, "fangirls", that is? So, I won't disagree. I'm a definitive, "fanboy", and quite proud of it. "Nonsense", though? Clearly, that's just wrong. I hope this helped...
Spotted the price reduction...waiting until it drops to £10, like the 3 vinyl 2112...

My friends Dave Maier and Kaye Van Valkenburg arrived today for a few days with us in Metz. They had been in Oxford, then flew from London to Luxembourg, about 45 minutes north of Metz, where we picked them up at the Luxembourg airport. Dave and Kay's plane landed at 11:20 a.m., so I arranged for us to have lunch in a restaurant in pretty much the first town in France after you cross the border, Volmerange-les-Mines, so that they could get a quick start on French cuisine after their stay in Britain. The restaurant, L'Entracte, turned out to be wonderful. For our first courses we had, variously, home-made smoked salmon, vegetable soup, a country terrine, and a salad with beignets of goat cheese. Our second courses included boar bourguignon, pork cheeks, and a bouchee a la reine. Here's a photo of us about to start our first course.

text: If you are overweight, you have probably heard these things countless times, either from friends or doctors: that weight loss is important, that if you don't lose weight, your life span will be shortened by several years, that if you don't lose weight, you will get afflicted with several killer diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol level, high blood pressure, heart diseases, sleep apnea, etc. However, when should you lose weight? When is the right time to say: 'Enough is enough! I am sick and tired of my fat belly, so am going to lose weight'? Well, nobody can tell that for you. You need to decide the correct timing for weight loss yourself. Also note that the timing you choose can make or break your weight loss plan. You should start your weight loss efforts when you feel you're overweight, but if you are morbidly obese, then no other method except expensive weight loss surgeries can help you with weight loss. As you can see, when it comes to weight loss, timing is extremely important! I have been a fitness coach for many years. I have a friend called Sean who, at one point of time, was excessively overweight (if you look at him now you won't be able to tell that just a few years ago, he had a large belly and flabby arms). He was suffering from sleep apnea. He couldn't get proper sleep, and no wonder felt dizzy and drowsy all the time. He felt he didn't have the energy to perform his day-to-day activities, and soon people began to call him lazy. Believe it or not, his obesity was the root cause behind all his problems. Sean and I are good friends, but for some reason, Sean never asked me for any sort of weight loss advice. It was as if he was not aware of his weight problem. Until one day... He came to his senses when he was not invited by his friend at his birthday party! First he found it rather strange, but then he realized that it was all because of his body weight. He also realized that lately several people had started ignoring him. As you can see, his weight problem had become a big hindrance in his life! That was the time when he finally decided that he needed to lose weight. He asked me for advice, which I was more than happy to give. A year later, Sean has not only lost several pounds, but also felt better and more energetic. He is now not only able to sleep properly but also perform his regular activities without a problem. He is always full of energy and enthusiasm! As you can see, Sean waited for the right time before he started his weight loss efforts. Before you start your weight loss journey, ask yourself if it is the correct time for you to lose weight! Why do you want to lose weight? Are you unable to bear the weight of your fat belly any longer? Do you feel that of late you've become lazy? Are you unable to get promotions in your job? Are you getting turned down for dates? Does your doctor advise you to lose weight? Whatever it is, when you decide that it is time to shed those extra pounds, take action! You WILL succeed!

Examples of Good and Bad Chute Design
Jonathan Page B.Sc. (Mech Eng) GCC.
Acknowledgements : The Bionic Research Institute, Chute Design Conference 1991
Anglo American Corporation have reviewed the design of chutes handling hard materials such as gold and diamond ores.
This paper provides user feedback. Current chute design philosophy is explained, and examples of good and bad chute design discussed.
Jonathan Page is Divisional Mechanical Engineer at Anglo American Corp. heading up the mechanical design section. The section concentrates on materials handling, shaft conveyances, and high pressure piping and pumping.
This paper gives feedback from the Anglo American Corporation on chute design for hard materials (diamond and gold ores). The current design philosophy is explained and examples of good and bad chute designs are given.
Great variability in the material characteristics can compromise the final chute design. Before design it is essential to test the material characteristics. Where possible, final designs should be tested and optimised in pilot plants.
Current practices to combat wear problems are given.
The Anglo American Corporation of South Africa Limited administers various coal, diamond and gold mines.
The bulk materials handling equipment that is common to all the mines includes belt conveyors, hoppers, silos, feeders and chutes. Chutes are the linking pieces in the materials handling chain. They are the essential means of guiding and directing materials between the various storage, transport and process items of equipment. Thus chutes have a common purpose.
The Mechanical Engineering Department has developed optimum chute designs over the years. Such successful designs have evolved on a trial-and-error basis, where site modifications and the feedback of operating experience have directed the work.
This paper will give practical examples of good and bad chute designs for hard materials (diamond and gold ores).
There are five basic design objectives:-
to guide material on to a conveyor belt, at the speed of the belt, in the direction of belt travel.
to eliminate material spillage.
to enclose material dribbles.
to enclose material from operating personnel.
to eliminate dust liberation.
Chutes are transfer points in a materials handling plant. They often demand more attention and can be the source of more downtime than the conveyors or equipment that precede or follow them. Ideally the chutes are designed first, and then the plant equipment and structures are placed around them. This is sometimes not possible due to other constraints. For example, such constraints are the presence of critical supporting steelwork, space restrictions underground and existing plant where modifications are required. As a result, chutes may suffer and the final design can be a compromise (Fig 1 shows how not to design a chute).
The nature and characteristics of the equipment before and after the chute are clearly defined. If a conveyor belt, what is the belt width, belt speed, loaded I material profile, material trajectory? What is the height through which the material must fall? Does the material have a single flow path, or are there alternative flow paths?
Fig 1: How not to
3.1 Material Characteristics
Although chutes have a common purpose, they have to accommodate a wide variety of material characteristics. Minerals are found distributed in many different geological areas. In addition, each geological deposit often contains materials with different properties.
There are two types of diamond deposits: a volcanic pipe and an alluvial deposit (along river paths and coastlines). In volcanic pipes, material near the surface is weathered and produces a high proportion of fines. Deeper underground, the material becomes harder and less weathered. However, this material weathers quickly and produces fines due to crushing and processing stages towards the smaller size ranges.
Gold mines are usually at considerable depth. The rock is dense, hard and abrasive. However, there are a few open cast gold mines where the material characteristics are significantly different.
Therefore, there is a variation in material characteristics:
between diamond and gold ores
between ores in different deposits
between ores during the life of a mine.
Material characteristics can change from season to season, or even day to day, on the same mine.
Chutes are designed for the worst possible conditions and material characteristics. It is essential to derive by testing the material characteristics such as size distribution, maximum lump size, moisture content, angle of repose etc. For changing conditions, the spectrum of characteristics is required.
3.2 Pilot Plants
Pilot plants or sample plants are useful, not only to the extractive metallurgist and plant operator, but also to the chute designer. Such plants enable chute designs to be tested and optimised on the actual material to be handled.
Chute design sometimes needs to be finely tuned to the material being transferred. It is often found that only minor site modifications are required to turn a problem chute into a successful one.
3.3 Operating Mines
It is essential to get feedback from operating mines on what does not work and what was done to rectify the problems. Otherwise, previously inadequate design drawings are copied for future projects, thus perpetuating the problems.
3.4 Erection and Maintenance
Underground chutes are constructed of bolted panels in manageable body panel sizes.
Surface chutes are fabricated from longer, welded, box sections. However due attention is paid to access to liners and erection between floors of a building.
Chutes must be easy to assemble and install. They must be effective in their job and require minimal maintenance. Wear resistant liners must be cost effective, strategically placed and be easily changed.
The following parameters are used to differentiate between good and bad designs. In the future, the aim is to produce design guidelines for use as an office standard.
4.1 Chute Angles
The angle of repose for dry, run-of-mine gold ore is generally taken to be 38. The optimum chute angle in this case has been found to be 50-55. Angles less than this are avoided. The same angle is true for dry, run-of-mine diamond ore, e.g. kimberlite. However, the inclusion of large amounts of fines, together with water, renders the prediction of repose somewhat difficult. In mud-rush situations, the surcharge angle can be 0. This is, however, an exceptional condition and is not used as a design case.
In diamond plants, a chute angle of 45 is only acceptable in final recovery and sort house areas where the material is crushed, washed, sized and "guaranteed" to be dry .
Chutes with valley angle geometries need careful attention. In a chute with two adjacent 55 plates, the valley angle will be 45. Hence there is the danger of material build-up in the valleys. The valley angle is increased accordingly, or designed out, e.g. in a vertical sided chute.
In a chute extended to carry the fines from belt cleaners, angles in excess of 700 are required to prevent build-up of the often sticky, wet, fine material that is removed from the belt. The fines (or slimes) that stick to the belt have effectively no angle of repose -they hang upside down. Thus if there is any build-up on the chute plates, it will rapidly lead to blockages or spillage (Fig 2) .
Fig 2: Chute angles
4.2 Conveyor Head Chutes
The trajectory of material flowing from the head pulley of a conveyor belt is predictable. Trajectories are sensitive to belt speed, material load profile, size distribution and moisture content. The trajectory is estimated from the centre of area of the material profile. If the belt line is taken, the discharged material will impact the head chute hood higher up than predicted. Once the trajectory is determined, the chute hood is designed around the material flow path (Fig 3).
Conveyor belt capacities are often subject to change in the life of a process plant. Changing throughput requirements will most likely produce changing belt speeds. Trajectories and the resultant impact zones will change. Thus the effects on head chute design are assessed (Fig 4).
Inspection access covers are located out of the material impact zone or flow path. Cover plates are sized and hinged so that a man can easily open them. Once opened, they must not fall back with the possibility of injuries (Fig 5) .
Fig 3: Incorrect trajectory
Fig 4: One method to cater for varying loading/speed
Fig 5: Location of inspection plates
Effective belt cleaning is a "must" for any conveyor belt. However. The removed material has to be efficiently transferred away from the belt cleaner. In some cases, a belt cleaner performs the duty of a secondary discharge device. Snub pulleys behind head pulleys produce dribbles which should be suitably handled. Thus. not insignificant volumes of material must be combined with the main stream. Steeper chute angles are important here as mentioned earlier. Such belt cleaners and dribble chutes are often in a most inaccessible area and therefore tend to be neglected. Sufficient access is considered at the design stage of a head chute. Alternatively. the removed material can be handled separately and not combined with the main stream.
On a safety aspect, the sides of ahead chute enclosing ahead and snub pulley should be extended backwards sufficiently to cover all possible nip points on the belt.
4.3 Chute Widths
Chute widths are usually designed to suit the piece of mechanical equipment that follows the chute. Nevertheless, chutes are designed to a minimum width of three times the maximum expected lump size. For example, for a 300 mm lump size, the chute should be 900 mm -1 m square. Ideally, facilities are used to remove rogue material from a materials handling system as early as possible. In run-of-mine ore, such rogue material, consisting of outsize rock slabs, tramp iron, timber, etc., would easily choke a properly designed chute.
Another important consideration is the volumetric flow rate of the material. Once the chute is sized for the largest lumps, it is also sized for the volume to be handled.
4.4 Changes In Flow Direction
Where one conveyor transfers to another conveyor, the easiest configuration for the chute is when the conveyors are in-line with each other. Conveyors at 900 to each other involve chute work that is more complex but can be achieved without many problems. A common rule of thumb is to provide twice the belt width as vertical height for in-line transfers, and 3,5 to 4 times belt width for 90 transfers. This generally allows sufficient height to enclose dribbles, etc.
Most problems are encountered when conveyors are at a small acute angle. Such small changes of direction involve awkward chute geometries where there could be restrictions to the flow of material and problems of build up of material on shallow plate angles. The capture of dribbles also becomes difficult, since the scraping area is generally above open space (Fig 6) .
Fig 6: Conveyors at a small acute angle
As a general conveyor design principle, the material should be in constant uniform motion, not intermittent loading. Chutes perform better under uniform flow conditions.
4.5 Dead Boxes
Dead boxes have proved beneficial in gold ore situations where the material is relatively dry .Dead boxes are used to take the direct impact of material discharged from a conveyor into ahead chute. Other useful applications are in long chutes or high chutes where the momentum of falling material must be broken before reaching the lower conveyor belt. Changes of direction are also accomplished in this manner.. Once dead boxes are filled, they form the ideal deflection plate or impact wear plate, where the "plate" hardness is equal to that of the feed material (Figs 7 and 8).
Fig 7: Typical dead box
Fig 8: Cascade chute
In diamond plants, dead boxes are avoided for run-of-mine kimberlite conditions because of the high clay and moisture contents. However, they may be used later in the plant where the material is sized and washed, and then only with careful consideration in each design case.
In general, dead boxes are avoided where the material is very fine, wet or sticky. Here the dead boxes are not self cleaning, due to the absence of large particles to give a scouring effect, and the fine material will build up and cause blockages.
4.6 Conveyor Feed Chutes
Fig 9: Typical Langlaagte chute dimensions
The Langlaagte chute is a well-known configuration throughout the South African mining industry .This chute was originally intended for run-of-mine ore situations to get the fines to flow. Standard dimensions, related to belt width, have been developed as a guide (Fig 9) .Where a number of Langlaagte chutes feed a single conveyor belt, every chute except the first one is designed either higher or pivoted up out of the way when not in use.
The underside of the feed chute skirts should rise, in the direction of belt travel, to a maximum of 50 mm above the belt. Chutes should be positioned at a minimum distance in front of the tail pulley of a conveyor belt. This is to avoid the transition distance where belt troughing is not ideal (Fig 10).
Fig 10: Feed chute after transition distance
Radial doors are used successfully in chutes under ore passes or silos. Apart from primary on/off feed control, they perform an effective mud-rush control function. (Langlaagte chutes are ineffective against mud-rushes). Radial doors suffer from the possibility of jamming when closed. The normal air cylinder used to open the door can be enhanced by adding a knocker arm between the cylinder rod and the door. Thus the door can be closed with full force, opened with reduced force, or hammered open (Fig 11) .
Figure 11: Radial door with knocker
4.7 Flapper Gates
Flopper gates are used when one conveyor is required to feed either of two discharge points. Thus a bifurcating chute arrangement is required where each flow path must satisfy the general chute design guidelines. A critical area is the hinge of the gate which should be placed above the apex of the double chute. Thus the gate is self cleaning and rock traps, which could jam the gate, are avoided (Fig 12).
Fig 12: Flopper pivot above apex
4.8 Construction
Underground chutes have to be transported in confined shaft compartments and narrow haulages. Installation sites are often constricted because of the low headroom and the presence of the conveyor structure. Hence construction should be by means of bolted body panels of manageable sizes. Body plates are generally 6mm to 10 mm thick with 70 mm x 70 mm x 8 mm angle stiffeners. Side plates are bolted to the body by angle construction, with the connections in shear where possible. The top cover is extended over the sides and is bolted down.
Surface chutes are made from longer/taller box sections welded together, with due attention to liner access and erection needs.
The construction material is structural steel to SABS 1431 Grade 300WA.
Adequate access is required by the operating and maintenance staff on the mine. Access is an important consideration in chute design and the associated structural steelwork. Lifting beams are designed for the replacement of liners, and the removal of bolted panels in maintenance operations. Hence inspection access and maintenance access are important considerations.
4.9 Lining Materials
Side liners are generally 12 mm to 16 mm thick and extend up to 3 times the depth of material flow to cater for surges. Bottom liners are up to 25 mm thick. Liner plates are sized for a maximum mass of 30 kg each, so that replacement in confined spaces is easier. Dead boxes have lip liners.
Quenched and tempered steel plate, with hardnesses of BHN 400 or BHN 500, is increasingly used for liner material. In high wear applications, these materials are most cost effective in terms of price and life, with thinner plate sizes specified. However, project engineers may choose mild steel for lower wear applications.
Fig 13: Across line rail mat AND Fig 14: In-line rail mat
In certain circumstances, rail mats have been used on the bottom chute plates. Thus, horizontal rows of rails are bolted to the chute plate at 900 to the direction of flow, forming a bed of dead boxes. Alternatively the rails are set in line with the flow to allow self cleaning (Figs 13 and 14).
Diamond ore fines and dribbles have been found to move more effectively on PTFE liners such as 'ISOLIDUR" or "VESCONITE", This type of liner is not effective in high impact areas.
4.10 De-Dusting
Fig 15: Dust extraction
For dry diamond ores especially, transfer chutes are de-dusted. Here, chutes are enclosed with a dust extraction system applied preferably after the transfer point to the belt. Chute skirt plates have rubber seals to stop too much false air entering the chute. The rubber seal should not be made from old conveyor belting, as the resultant seal is ineffective. The proportions of the chute and skirts are generally dictated by the de-dusting requirements, such as air volume and pick-up velocity (Fig 15).
In general, feed chute skirt widths are two thirds of projected belt width, not two thirds of actual belt width as was common practice.
The skirt seals are seen as seals and not as a means of containing the material on the belt. There are cases where the skirts are terminated too high above the belt, resulting in long, floppy seals. These very easily flop over the edge of the belt, making effective belt training impossible. This is generally the case when the skirts are too wide as well. The long skirts are also subject to material loading, which increases the resistance to motion of the conveyor, adding to power and tension, and accelerating the conveyor belt top cover wear (Fig 16)
Fig 16: Skirt seals
When de-dusting is not required e.g. on gold mines with wet materials, there is no need for rubber skirt seals. Unnecessary skirt seals wear out the belt top cover and add to frictional resistances. It is better to redesign the skirts themselves in this instance.
Optimum chute designs have been developed over the years. Such successful designs have evolved on a trial-and-error basis, where site modifications and the feedback of operating experience have directed the work.
Great variability in the material characteristics can compromise the final chute design. Before design it is essential to test the material characteristics. Where possible, final designs should be tested and optimised in pilot plants.

It's been awhile since I've stepped foot on Dutch soil, the last time being a 7 hour layover on our way to Cairo in 2005, and before that on a post-uni backpacking trip with my college friend in 2004. Only a 40 minute flight from London, it was inevitable that we would eventually find our way back to Amsterdam at some point during our time in London.
Last weekend Keenan and I found ourselves once again in The Netherlands, this time for a New Years event organized by one of the divisions in my Rotterdam office. They kindly invited the IDD team and our spouses/partners to attend the "Asian Tiger" themed party (yes, very Dutch…that is to say, very quirky) in which Asian attire were required. Keenan and I wore our matching turquoise blue Indian sari and kurta to the event, while other colleagues wore Japanese yukata, traditional Indonesian or Filipino outfits, or Vietnamese ao dai. The evening featured a beer tap pouring endless pints of Amstel lager, Asian food, and you wouldn't believe it, Dance, Dance Revolution…yes, very quirky, but it was good fun socalising with colleagues outside the office.
Since I have never been to Rotterdam before, I arrived early on Friday to explore the city and do a bit of work before the event in the evening. Rotterdam, Holland's second largest city and Europe's largest port, was severely bombed during World War II in Hitler's quest to conquer The Netherlands in a single day, thereby securing strategic position for his planned invasion of England in the Battle of Britain. Today Rotterdam is completely rebuilt as a modern port city with a touch of Dutch quirkiness.
The company put us up in a hotel near the Old Harbour, a good base from which to explore Rotterdam. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative; it was rainy, cold, and windy – the worse combination. Armed with my trusty "brollie," I quickly walked to the harbour to see as much as I could without getting drenched or blown away by the wind. I managed to take a few photos around Rotterdam, including the famous Cube Houses, which were featured in Jackie Chan's Chinese movie "Who I Am." It's ashamed that I didn't get to see the rest of Rotterdam… next time.
Taking advantage that my company paid for the IDD team's flights and our partner's too, most of us decided to stay in Amsterdam for the weekend. So Saturday afternoon we made our way to Amsterdam, but thought it was best to part ways as we all had different agendas and interests during our short city-break trip.
Not much has changed in Amsterdam in the last five year – bicycles still dominate the streets, canal houses still retain its picturesque charm, gouda is still the king of Dutch cheeses, and of course there is still the whiff of a certain "skunk-like" smell in the air. Ahhhh....good ol' Amsterdam.
Keenan and I spent Saturday afternoon wandering around the canals starting from our hotel off of Rembrandtplein Square to the Noodermarkt food stalls near the eclectic Jordaan neighbourhood. Holland is famous for its brightly colour tulips, and Amsterdam even has a picturesque Floating Flower Market near Leidenplein selling tulip bulbs among other assortment of plants and flowers. Tulips are spring-blooming perennials so if want to see the crayon rows of tulips in full bloom, visit Holland in late spring. It is suppose to be quite pretty. Noodermarkt was okay; I expected it to be like Borough Market with loads of food stalls for a walking lunch, but it seemed like a lot of vendors were closing down for the day as it was approaching 3:30 pm by the time we arrived, plus the weather wasn't great.
Later in the evening, we planned a fun dinner at Tempo Doeloe, an Indonesian restaurant on Utrechtsestraat, to celebrate ten years as a couple. We splurged and ordered the 25 plate rijsttafel istemew (rice table) paired with a bottle of crisp white wine. The little dishes of Indonesian curries were presented in order of spiciness – mild, medium, and hot. Keenan, a food lover of all things spicy, couldn't wait to tickle his taste buds with some chili spices and curry powder. Every thing was delicious and the atmosphere was fun and intimate. The last dish, decorated with a yellow habanera pepper, was smothered in chili seeds. I didn't dare, but Keenan did, and it was so hot that he immediately started beading sweat down his forehead and chugged down a large glass of water. Be warned, and don't let me tell you I told you so…
There's so much to see and enjoy in Amsterdam besides the "coffeehouses" and the Red Light District, but if that's what you're after, no judgment at all. Amsterdam also has some vast urban parks and a string of world-class museums, including the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum (partially closed for refurbishment). Having done the museums in the past, we made it a priority to see Anne Frank's House over the weekend regardless of how long the queue was.
The tour of Anne Frank's House, hidden in the secret annex of her father's office building, gives an intimate insight of how the Frank family lived hiding from the Nazi forces. Tipped off by an anonymous individual, the Nazi eventually arrested and shipped the Frank family to Auschwitz, where Anne, her sister, and mother died just months before the liberation in 1945. The only survivor, her father Otto, later found her diaries and spent the remaining years of his life transforming the old house into a museum, campaigning for peace and justice, and turning Anne's aspiration of becoming a writer a reality. The Diary of a Young Girl, chronicling the last two years of her life, was published in 1947.
Brunch at Pancakes!:
Our short-city break was unfortunately coming to an end. We stopped by Vleminckx, a hole-in-the-wall stand famous for its crunchy French fries, before heading back to the hotel to pick up our bags and bid farewell to a lovely weekend in Amsterdam. Until next time...

I wanted to share one of the projects we worked on as a family. When I say we, I really mean Mr. Right was put to work. We made a Ladder Ball set for my in-laws. We got all the directions on the internet on Just Build Stuff Here. Isn't the internet a wonderful place? I'm not going to show you all the details for that project here, because they did such a wonderful job over on their site.
After making the set, I wanted to make a bag to carry it all in, but boy was this bag a heavy one! I originally thought I could just transform the leg of a pair of jeans into the bag, but had to split two legs open, piece them together and make the bag much wider than the jeans. Once this all got done, I then made a pocket to put rope through and then went on a search for those little pincher slide clasps. (Sorry, I have no real name for those!)
|Close up look at the pincher slide clasps (PSC)
Then, my daughter and I tried to make a long handle from jeans, but couldn't get it to reverse for the life of us! That jean material was too thick to turn on itself easily, and because we were trying to do it last minute, of course it just wouldn't work! (Note to Self: Do not do projects at the last minute!)
As a back up plan, I used the rope to macrame a handle from a piece that was really long! It actually was probably more sturdy in the long run, and if my in-laws every need survival rope and happen to have the ladder ball with them, they will have a good 30 feet of it!
Needless to say, I think my in-laws really liked it, since their last one was destroyed by children. Those store versions are not nearly as sturdy as these are, and parts can easily be replaced at a hardware store!
Don't forget to check out those blogs in the right column that I love to link up to.

Was able to hand pick a lot of great looking dry reef rock yesterday. Nicest pieces I have had yet especially if your looking for shelf type pieces. Plus a few larger pieces as well. This is much nicer than the BRS Reef saver rock, any ones eco- rock or Marco Island Rock.
I should be back with it this weekend along with more Gulf live rock. As always, the live will not be put out until any die off is completed but some of the dry rock will be on our shelf's by Sunday for sure. I plan to price some pieces individually as typically the shelf pieces cost me more. However, I am going to offer it all at the $2.50 per pound price on this Sunday only (the 6th).
They sold a lot of livestock and hard goods while I have been gone. Plus with the holidays, we can not risk flights as for some strange reason they prioritize people, their baggage and mail ahead of our fish. I understand we are low on many items. Will be getting quite a bit in towards the end of the week and will really fill everything back up early next week. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and we do appreciate your understanding. If there is an item that you have been waiting for us to get back in stock, email me and I will give you an even better price for your patience.
Happy New year ~

Our party awakens at the hands of Tuk-Naten, bleeding slaves over them. Once reanimated, they quickly realize they are in a strange new world. Taken to the Temple of Thoth in Memphis, they learn the tongue, and learn that Osiris and Isis rule the kindred here. However, Osiris' sire is the ancient and diabolical Enlil. Coercing them with subtle manipulations, Thoth gets our party to help in his mysterious endeavors. However things take a bizarre twist when the cube of Pazuzu is within his confines. Wolfren, fearing the power of the cube, sets it back atop its altar. Amatsukami does not share these fears, and opens the gateway to the "Shards" of the Underworld. Pazuzu's spirit can once again tough the Hisil, and he immediately enters the body of Thoth.
This dynamic trio now heads north via bark to the Egyptian capital of Al-Ramase. Set up at the Palace of the Lapis Scarab, our party quickly takes seats as Gods of a much older world. Using the Hebrew slaves, a throne room of deification is built. There is much consternation over the statues put in place, and it takes some time before Amatsukami believes the "posture" of his statue does not show hidden perversion to its onlookers.
A shadowy visitor arrives, a kindred of the Khaibit named Sari, who heralds our party to the Nile Delta where they meet the God of Chaos, Sutekh. Sutekh conspires with the two in order to overcome Osiris. In exchange for their help, he takes them to the Forge of Ptah where the masks of the Gods are made. Amatsukami chooses the mask of the Lion, while Wolfren chooses the mask of the Wolf.
When they return to the Palace they see a minor skirmish has broken out at its front wall. It seems Horus would test their Will and Strength; a challenge our party backs down from. They fall to slumber as Horus rides off triumphantly on his chariot…
