Another Sunday, another outing based on an idea from a book, this time from "Alla dessa cykelpromenader i Stockholmstrakten". Since we hadn't made any plans or preparations in advance, we chose a shortish cycle trip from Spånga to Riddersvik.
Riddersvik turned out to be a beautiful old manor house with a lovely café (excellent cakes, and pleasingly small in size as well) and pretty surroundings. There was an allotment garden below the manor itself, with views of lake Mälaren, and a rose garden on the other side of the manor, and a playground for the kids.
This was a nice contrast to what we saw last weekend at Svartsjö. I found the park around that castle rather depressing. This was a major castle, historically important, close to central Stockholm. It had obviously had grand surroundings once upon a time, but since then obviously hardly anyone had cared for it. For lack of better use it had been turned into a prison for a century, and the best that could be said of the park was that it existed, and was still more or less a park rather than wilderness. Overgrown and untended, with no plantings of any kind.
As a coincidence it turned out that Riddersvik was called Flottsvik some centuries ago and was the other endpoint of the ferry connection between Svartsjö and the mainland.
One comment
The wallpaper in the ground floor salons of manor house is the same as in our living room, by the way, but in a different colourway.

Our Projects | Current Projects
The Creating Superb Homes for Parrots project has created more than 2oo hollows for Superb Parrots across the Central Tablelands region. With funding from Central Tablelands Local Land Services provided by Catchment Action NSW, this project has also resulted in several thousand native plantings to support Superb Parrot habitat into the future. For further information please refer to the Project Fact Sheet.
NRM for Local Government 2015-16
The following projects have been supported by Central West Local Land Services under their NRM for Local Government project. This incentive funding project aims to assist the Councils of the Central West Local Land Services region to protect, enhance or maintain natural resources in their area.
The project supports on ground actions or community education and engagement activities relating to natural resource management outcomes that exhibit best management practice and innovative solutions to existing issues.
Councils must be members of the Central West Councils Environment & Waterways Alliance to be eligible for funding.
Increasing Habitat for Painted Snipe
Forbes Shire Council
The abundance of water resources in the Forbes region leads to a high number of water birds including the endangered Painted Snipe. This project, a collaboration between the Environment & Waterways Alliance, Central West Local Land Services, Forbes Shire Council and Central West Lachlan Landcare will directly respond to factors that have led tot he decline of this species.
Primary actions to improve habitat for the Painted Snipe will include integrated weed control and the planting of native riparian species known to be associated with the Painted Snipe. For further information: Increasing Habitat for Painted Snipe Fact Sheet
Revegetating PAC Park Waterway
Parkes Shire Council
This collaboration between Central West Councils Environment & Waterways Alliance, Central West Local Land Services and Parkes Shire Council will supplement an existing project funded through the Public Reserves Management Fund (PRMF) and Building Resilience to Climate Change Program, which aims to turn a degraded dam on PAC Park waterway into an ecologically and hydrologically complex wetland.
This will be achieved through mass planting of macrophytes (sedges, reeds and rushes) and riparian vegetation. For more information: Revegetating PAC Park Waterway Fact Sheet
Roadside Vegetation Management Plan Training
Lachlan Shire Council
The Lachlan Shire Council Local Government Area (LGA) is in the Central West region of New South Wales, located either side of the Lachlan River, stretching west beyond Lake Cargelligo and north beyond Tottenham. The Lachlan LGA is the largest in Central NSW, with an area of 15,000 square kilometres and has approximately 4,000km of roads. With 8 confirmed Endangered Ecological Communities present in these extensive linear reserves, investing in Council staff training to better manage these areas is considered a priority. For more information: Roadside Vegetation Training for Lachlan Shire Council Fact Sheet
Tiger Bay Wetlands Bird Hide
Warren Shire Council
The Tiger Bay Wetlands has developed a great reputation within the Australian bird watching community. Increased visitor numbers to the Warren area over the past few years has been due to word of mouth and the increased media coverage, placing further demands on improved bird watching facilities at the site.
The major benefit of providing an additional bird hide at the Tiger Bay Wetlands will be witnessed through the collection of data by bird watchers. For more information: Tiger Bay Wetlands Bird Hide Fact Sheet

The size that is right for you depends on the carry styles you will be using, your height/weight, experience, and personal preference. We recommend using your base size as a starting point to determine the wrap size you want.
Your base size is the size that you need to do a FWCC. Once you know your base size, to determine what size wrap you would need to do other carries, find the carry name on the left, then look to see what size is listed for that carry under the column heading for your particular base size. For example, if your base size is 6, then to do a Reinforced Ruck, you need at least a size 4. The size chart indicates the minimum size needed to accomplish each carry. When a carry is done with a longer wrap than the size indicated on the chart, you will be left with longer tails, so please take care to avoid tripping by securing the tails away from your feet and legs.
Click on the carry names at the left to learn more about each carry style.
More information about base sizing can be found at Wearing Wiki. Consult your local chapter of Babywearing International if you need further assistance picking the right size for your needs.

There's a long-running debate about businesses discriminating against gay customers and whether or not they should be allowed to. My position is this:
If a shop doesn't want to serve me because I'm gay, or won't do things like cater or provide the flowers for a gay wedding, OK. Fine. I can cope; there are other businesses out there that will (and the beauty of our free market system is that we can start such businesses ourselves where it's likely to be an issue).
BUT there is a condition; those businesses who want to do this must display this information in a prominent place – like in the front window – where it cannot be missed by any prospective customer. It must be displayed on the front page of their website and in a prominent place on their social media presences; again, in such a way that it cannot possibly be overlooked or missed. Consumers should be fully informed about their spending choices – prospective gay customers should be able to not waste their time with a business that won't serve them. Likewise, straight customers who'd rather not give their money to such businesses should be able to have their spending decisions fully informed. Some businesses may go broke as a result, but that's too bad – they hate making money, after all.
This system, of ensuring the consumer is fully informed of their spending choices, is called "capitalism". Let the Invisible Hand of the Market do as it will.
PS (added 31 January 2016); the above does not apply to civil celebrants – they, when performing marriages, are officers of the State. They are public servants. If they object to officiating lawful marriages because of personal or religious reasons, they should resign. When you are a public servant, you leave your personal views at home and execute your duties to the best of your ability – if you can't do that, find another job.
PPS (9 February 2017); the twitter user @Shoq has let me know that they object to the stance I have in this post – that I want to "normalise discrimination". I do not; I do have ethical objections to forcing people to act in ways that are contrary to their religious views when the exercise of those views doesn't cause appreciable harm to others (even if I consider those views to be awful and stupid). As I note above; a Christian refusing to provide me with flowers for my wedding would be a mild inconvenience, not "harm" – and you cannot expect me to believe that the wedding industry is so bereft of businesses that care more about money that I wouldn't be able to find alternatives. Plus if they do it after I've paid for it, that's breach of contract.
The primary issue I have with compelling Christians, who are acting as private citizens and not public servants, to act against their religious views is that the same rationales can also be used against other groups. The Fathers of Federation put section 116 in because they wanted an American-style protection against the State interfering with religion and religious belief (the success of this is up for debate); compelling Christians, when they aren't acting as public servants, to do things their religious beliefs are not compatible with seems to me to violate the free exercise clause of s.116 – and it sets a precedent that could be used to, for example, ban Halal food (as a certain Senator from Queensland and her party are very keen on doing).
Note that I view people who, e.g., provide medical care to the community to be a form of public servant here; in this country such things are subsidised by the State after all. Same goes for education; if you want your Christian school to discriminate against same-sex-attracted students, stop pocketing taxpayer funds. Indeed, that extends to all such endeavours; if my taxpayer dollars are paying for it, you don't get to hide behind your personal private beliefs. Set them aside, or give us our money back. No, I am talking exclusively about private businesses.
And the objective is simple; if you're going to discriminate against me because of my sexual orientation, I want to know about it. I want my friends and family to know too. I want everyone to know. And then we can give our money, and organise others to give their money, to your competitors.
My stance here is not set in stone; if @Shoq, or someone else, argues me around, there'll be another update to this post reflecting this.
To be honest, this is a pure thought exercise for me. The issue is done and dusted for us.

Business Education Resources
Gilbert and its community partners host a number of business education seminars throughout the year. As these seminars arise, they will be located on the news and events portion of the website. If you are interested in receiving information and invitations to these seminars, please email Jennifer Graves at email@example.com.
Additionally, below is a link to a number of unendorsed business education seminars that may help you in growing your business:
Arizona Advanced Manufacturing Institute (AzAMI)
The Arizona Advanced Manufacturing Institute (AzAMI) offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to meeting a variety of advanced manufacturing needs through a combination of core programs: Electronics, Drafting, Automation and Machining, and Welding. The outcome: A professional and technical workforce trained to meet the growing economic development needs of the region.
Lisa Foundation Patent Law Clinic
Students in the Lisa Foundation Patent Law Clinic receive hands-on experience in real-world patent prosecution, licensing and litigation, and learn skills needed to recognize and obtain valuable and enforceable patents for clients. Regardless of whether students plan to practice transactional patent law or in patent litigation, the Clinic gives students exposure to both areas of practice so to practice law or in patent litigation, the Clinic gives students exposure to both areas of practice so that they may understand the impact that actions taken during the patent procurement process have during a subsequent patent litigation.
Through their clinical experience, students work with independent inventors and start-up companies to draft and prosecute patent applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office under the supervision of licensed patent attorneys. Additionally, students learn to conduct validity and infringement analyses while gaining valuable skills such as patent due diligence, valuation, and licensing strategies.
Students are expected to commit 10 hours per week to the Clinic, a graded course (3 credits).
Patent Licensing & Enforcement (3-hour or 1-hour) is a required co- or pre-requisite, and Patent Law, Patent Prosecution and Patent Litigation are recommended. A background in science or engineering may be helpful, but is not required.
Innovation Advancement Program
The Innovation Advancement Program (IAP) is an innovative program at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law that pairs inventors, technology entrepreneurs, tech transfer professionals, and emerging technology companies with some of ASU's brightest students in law, business, engineering, and the sciences. Multi-disciplinary student teams can undertake a wide array of legal and business planning services that help early stage ventures solidify their legal and business foundations, avoiding many of the mistakes and pitfalls often made when moving technology into the marketplace.

Today, we caught some intruders snooping around our yard, and our neighbors', taking photos with a long lens. They'd parked their car in our yard and had picked some flowers but didn't treat them like they cared.
My sister went outside and confronted them. The woman claimed that it was 'so beautiful' here. (Which it isn't, not particularly). She also said that they'd been here yesterday and since didn't see any car, they assumed no one was at home. Like that's an excuse to trespass. We don't have a car, so there's never a car. What's a bit unnerving is that we never noticed them yesterday. I just happened to be looking out the window and caught sight of the woman on the dirt path outside.
I really don't like living here. Hopefully, we'll be able to move soon. It's not a good place to live for more than one reason.

The Tulip Nebula is an emission nebula in a distance of 6,000 light years from earth in the constellation Cygnus.
The image consists of 130min Ha, 300min OIII and 250min SII.
The nebula gets excited by the young, energetic star HDE 227018 at the center of the nebula near the arc. HDE 227018 moves very fast through the nebula (almost certainly it was not created within the nebula). The arc is probably bow shock, indicating in which way HDE 227018 moves.
Another interesting object in the nebula is a star to the right of the nebula: Cygnus X-1. In 1964 during a rocket flight, it was identified as a very strong x-ray emitter. After more analysis, researchers identified it as a binary system where the second star is invisible. From the movement of the visible star, the mass of the invisible partner was determined to be between 20 and 35 solar masses. Since the largest possible mass of a neutron star can not exceed three solar masses, the compact object was suspected to be a black hole. In 1974, Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne had a wager - with Stephen Hawking betting it is not a black hole. He conceded the bet in 1990 after additional observational data strengthened that case. And if Stephen Hawking concedes, there aren't any doubts left. And with that, Cygnus X-1 became one of the first confirmed black holes.

Lisa J., here, thinking about how to ask the right questions to museum visitors. I love interactive exhibits, facilitated dialogues, and just about anything that offers audiences a chance to talk back to museums. But I've found that asking the right questions can be immensely challenging. Ask the wrong question and your audience becomes confused, or worse, disinterested in the exhibit or activity. The right question, on the other hand, is like magic. Audiences get involved, have new insights, feel empowered, and are more likely to say that their museum visit was personally meaningful. Isn't that what we're all after?
So I was really pleased to see these posts on Museum 2.0 about designing questions in museums. They'll be really helpful as we design a new interactive exhibit for the Hull-House Museum, called "Unfinished Business."
For the past year I have been facilitating conversations (links to .pdf article) on immigration and models of social change for high school and college groups. At first, some of the questions I asked were completely useless, like the terribly broad and potentially stereotyping question, "Where do immigrants work?"
Some questions I still struggle with. For example, I want to highlight Jane Addams' boldness in starting a settlement house and question the power dynamics between residents and immigrants. I sometimes ask, "what do you think would be the response today if two privileged white women moved into an under-served neighborhood of color to start a Settlement House?" I like asking students to imagine Addams's work in the present day, but this question isn't necessarily effective because students often speculate about low-income neighborhoods and come to troubling conclusions.
But some of our questions have been refined and are really successful. Here are some of my favorites. Notice how open-ended they are:
- Do you think the USA is a good place for an immigrant to settle? Why or why not?
- Based on what you learned in your tour, do you think immigration today is similar or different to immigration in Jane Addams's day?
- Do you think US citizens are responsible for helping to care for immigrants? If yes, then how? What about undocumented immigrants?
Still, I do struggle to find balance in my dialogues. I have an agenda for these conversations, but I want students to come to conclusions themselves through the questions- not by my having to spell it out. One solution for me has always been to assert the history of our site. This is especially useful if students make claims that are nonfactual or even racist. ("Immigrants used to work harder and wanted a better future than they do today." "Polish immigrants came to the United States legally, but it's different with the Mexicans.")
Have you struggled to ask the right questions in a museum setting? Any tips or questions to avoid?

Christian Yelich
The outfielder was so good in Spring Training that many felt he could play at the MLB level right now. However, since he has yet to play past High-A, it seems pointless to throw him to the wolves so early.
Yelich dominated the Florida State League last year, and the left-handed bat seems to just be scratching the surface with his power numbers. At 6'4", he can continue to fill out his frame and be a middle of the lineup type guy in the future at any outfield position.
Justin Nicolino
Top left-handed pitching prospect Justin Nicolino has had a rough pair of starts to start 2013, but anyone who looks at his past performance can see why the team is high on him. He has a career ERA that hovers around 2.25, and his poise has been praised by a lot of advanced scouts.
He doesn't have that ace type stuff, but he could be a solid middle rotation pitcher down the road. Look for him to rapidly go through the minor leagues simply due to his maturity.
Jake Marisnick
Like Nicolino, the Marlins are hoping that Jake Marisnick also pans out well to at least kind of justify the deal with Toronto last November. The centerfielder made it to AA last season, and he has all the tools to be a solid player for years to come. He is still somewhat undisciplined though, especially against good offspeed stuff. If he can sort things out once he returns from injury (broken bone in his hand), he could be up late this season, or early next season and is one for daily fantasy sports players to keep an eye on.

un·al·ien·a·ble: adj. Not to be separated, given away, or taken away; inalienable
On July 4, 1776 our founding Fathers signed a Declaration of Independence from England. In the second paragraph of this historical document it lists two basic, self-evident truths. The first, that all men are created equal. The second, that there are certain unalienable rights granted to us by our Creator, with the three primary ones being the right to live, the right to be free, and the right to pursue that which makes one happy. It also states that governments are instituted among men so as to secure these truths and protect these rights, getting its powers only at the behest and consent of the governed. These words triggered a Revolution, where the battle between the truth according to man and the truth according to God was waged: were we created to live under what another human being deemed to be our purpose, or were we created to live under what God deemed to be our purpose, and to live free?
The idea of liberty has always been a radical concept, even back then. For generations and across continents the nature of man was either to enslave or be enslaved. History tells us of battles being fought for power and dominion, rarely have they been fought for liberty and the right of self-determination. The founders knew that they were stepping across a unknown precipice in faith, doing something that had never been done before. They knew the price that would be paid, in blood and tears, but they stepped out anyway. Through their sacrifice, and the sacrifices of all those that fought alongside them in the name of this radical idea called freedom, we have the nation that we live in today. It was not the first time blood was spilt in the name of liberty, and as we all know, it would not be the last.
Our Founders understood that they were not only fighting a battle against the most powerful military in the world, but that they were also fighting the nature of man. Centuries of precedent had shown them that humans have a tendency to want to rule and control each other. We so desire to be like god that we forget that we were created by God. Our Founders recognized our default nature; it is within this written Declaration of Independence where they remind us that liberty is not granted by government to man, which tends to be unequal, but by God to man, granted equally. Government was merely intended to be a tool to allow us to fulfill our purpose, not the means by which we are told what that purpose is. The power to determine our own destiny lies with us, not with the King, nor with the politicians, nor with the President. Our Founders were seeking to create a nation that the world had not yet known, birthed from the radical idea that people have value and worth because they were created in God's image, not because a certain group of imperfect men ever deemed it to be so.
As we prepare to celebrate our nation's birthday, let us not forget the rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence, that little piece of parchment that fired the "shot heard around the world". Let us not be so consumed with the "pursuit of happiness" that we forget the other important truths listed in this document. Our government has tried for too long to define what the correct pursuit of happiness to be, that they have hampered our ability to pursue it ourselves. By allowing the preferential treatment of certain groups, our government has denied what it means to be truly created equal. By focusing so much on our health and safety, they have neglected the protection of our liberty. And if liberty continues to be strangled, how can we truly live a life as we see fit? A great price was paid over two centuries ago in defense of these basic truths. The Fourth of July not only celebrates our independence, but calls on us to remember that the pursuance of liberty has never been, nor ever will be, an easy burden. Let us not become so complacent that we remember the holiday but forget the sacrifice it represents.
While we do not have the power to grant to each other that which was already given to us by our Creator – our unalienable rights – we do still have the power to allow it to be stolen or surrendered away. We were created to breathe free, and a government that tells you any different is nothing but a liar and a thief. May the Fourth of July instill within you the boldness of our forefathers, in that we continue to remind our government of its proper place: the protection of our people's liberty.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" ~from the Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, 1776

Dramatic Weekend for Craig at Detroit Supercross
Detroit, MI (March 26, 2017) – Christian Craig's up and down season of 250SX racing for GEICO Honda gained yet another twist after a dramatic weekend at Ford Field in downtown Detroit, Michigan. Craig collided with Alex Martin in practice, and the move sent Martin over a berm and down hard. Martin was knocked out of racing for the night. As a penalty, the AMA and FIM assigned Craig the last gate selection for the night's main event, but then a strange thing happened during this day of drama for Craig: he ended up logging his best ride of the season.
"Well, yesterday went from terrible to great to pretty good. As everyone knows, I had a practice incident with Alex Martin. I let my frustrations get the best of me in the heat of the moment. I could sit here and explain my side of the story but I'll still end up in the wrong so I won't," said Craig, who took to his personal Instagram account to apologize to Martin. "Anyway, I got penalized and fined by the AMA. No matter what I got in my heat I would have last gate pick for the main. I ended up winning my heat which was such a good confidence booster for me. I've been mentally broken this season and I've been trying to get myself to where I was last year. I feel like I'm back as my normal self again. I rode like I knew how and I didn't give up. I got the holeshot and led every lap. I know it was only a heat race win but that one felt really good."
With the 22nd gate pick in the main event, Craig had no choice but to go wide open into turn one and hope for the best. He very nearly pulled off a good start, but at the last moment he came into contact with a pileup building from the inside, and that sent him into the tuff blocks.
"Going into the main I obviously knew I was going to be last pick so I took the outside gate and was just gonna go for it," sais Craig. "I actually got a really good start but was caught in a first turn pile up. I would have for sure gotten a top five start if that [the crash] hadn't happened. I started in 18th and made my way to seventh. With one more lap I could have gotten the two guys in front of me but I was just happy to see myself fight again. This season has been rough and it sucks it's taken me this many rounds to find myself again but I'm thankful I'm healthy and ready for St. Louis next weekend."
Craig will continue as the lone 250SX East rider for GEICO Honda, as new team member Cameron McAdoo will miss this weekend's race in St. Louis while he waits for a deep cut on his hand to heal properly.

The last few weeks, I've been teaching some concept design at the Safehouse Atelier. It's a great group of people down there and I'm really enjoying it. Still hitting my stride on how to communicate the shape theory I've developed for myself, but we're starting to get there.
The Safehouse Atelier has a great blog at thesafehouseatelier.blogspot.com. Dobsky's posted some nice images of their brand new space. Hit them up if you're interested in attending, though I will say they're been pretty full since day one, and there's already a bunch of great people waiting. Great to see.
Lastly, here's some sketches. The second one is the only piece which survived the destruction by angry ex of my friend Mike's entire art collection. Phew.

My Empire is a city building game by Playfish, but you wouldn't think that just by looking at the game itself! My Empire has a beautiful ancient Rome/Greece feel to it. That in and of itself makes it a little different than your normal city sim. If you're familiar with Age of Empires, it is reminiscent of the style, although it is not an RTS (real time strategy) game.
The goal of this city sim is like any other; build homes, business, leisure and decorations in order to make your city the prettiest and most profitable. You collect revenue from certain buildings, while others make your citizens happier. Playfish has included a "goal" feature that keeps you updated as you play; that way, you will always have something to do. The goal could be something like building a new monument, adding more homes, or taking advantage of upgrades.
Once you have gotten to a certain point in the game, you are tasked with building a Wonder. These Wonders are structures like the Sphinx, a Pyramid, and the Colosseum. In order to build one of these, you must have a lot of resources like wood, bronze, and tar. You can't get these unless you have resource-generating structures like sawmills and mines. Therefore, just by their nature, you won't be able to build a Wonder until you have leveled up some and developed your city. BUT there is a downside, too. Once of these resources you can ONLY receive from your friends. Although all social games enforce inviting your friends and playing with them, not all games use such an aggressive strategy.
One more notable feature in the game is hiring a tax collector; not only do you make money/resources from the buildings you construct, but you can also make money from the amount of people you have in your city. When you hire a tax collector, they collect coins from your current population. Therefore, you will always have some sort of income. This helps with leveling and although it may not be much at first, you could eventually earn a lot just from your people.
The tax collectors will gather coins from your current population and give you a source of income. However, be careful which ones you hire, they could do more harm than good! Any of the tax collectors with a collection cycle that is longer than 5 minutes both cost MORE to hire and earn money for you at an incredibly less efficient rate. So be careful not to cheat yourself out of money!
As witih any other cheat for a Facebook game – use this at your own risk! If you get caught, your account could get banned. This cheat will help you in My Empire because it will greatly increase the amount of your friends playing (even if they really aren't playing). It will help you level up faster and build new and different buildings.
First, you will need to make sure you are using Mozilla FireFox and you have the Empire Adder (http://www.mediafire.com/?jonnw1yzejm)
1. Download the adder and unzip it
2. Open your web browser and in it, open two tabs

CANANDAIGUA � The issue of unsecured doors at the 98-bed Ontario County Health Facility came up again at a second county Board of Supervisors committee meeting.
County Administrator John Garvey, speaking at the Health Committee meeting on Wednesday morning, said the issue is not being taken lightly.
�We care very deeply about this,� he said.
At Monday�s meeting of the Public Works Committee, Bill Wright, the commissioner of public works, and Judah Polatoff, the contract administrator at the health facility from the Centers for Specialty Care Group, spoke about the discovery of eight doors that lacked the magnetic locks needed to keep residents safely inside the nursing home.
The Public Works Committee sent a recommendation to spend $35,000 for proper locks and wiring systems to the full Board of Supervisors for consideration at its March 6 meeting.
�I�m very happy the changes are to be made,� Polatoff told the Health and Medical Services Committee on Wednesday. �We have a state survey coming up; we have to get this done as soon as possible.�
His firm will take over the nursing home at some point this year. The first transition meeting is slated for March 12, according to Mary Krause, the county�s director of human resources.
Garvey said the county is taking pains to make a successful transition to the new owners of the nursing home. The facility�s four senior managers, all nurses, have been offered an incentive to stay until Centers for Speciality Care Group takes over.
�We want to make sure they (the Centers) get a good facility,� he said. �We want to be good neighbors. We want to have a good facility.�
After the meeting, Wright said he was aware of no one who had actually left the facility through one of the unsecured doors.
The Public Works Committee wondered on Monday how the situation had gone on for so long without someone noticing.
�I�m very disappointed we didn�t know,� said Garvey. �I�m losing sleep over (the possibility of) a resident walking out into a 4-degree night. We just didn�t know. We care a lot about these residents. Generally, our facility has been in good repair. We�ve taken steps to make sure of that. I�m thankful for Judah bringing it to our attention.�
Polatoff said the discovery of the faulty locks was made while walking around the Hopewell facility.
�The state is supposed to check for things like this,� said Polatoff. �Why they haven�t, I don�t know. In my time, it�s something I�ve never seen. But if the state doesn�t bring it up to you, how are you supposed to know?�
Canandaigua Town Supervisor Pamela Helming asked Polatoff if there is a plan to ensure it doesn�t happen again. He assured her one would be put in place.
After the meeting, Polatoff explained that any residents of the facility who are judged to be flight risks have been equipped with a �wanderguard� bracelet. This means when they approach an elevator that could carry them from the residents� floors to where the outside doors are, it disables the elevator, he said:�They must have a staff member with them to use the elevator. He said this was done after the eight doors were found to be accessible.

At the request of the Georgia Department of Transportation, on November 14th the Board of Commissioners approved Letters of Support for the Department to further study the use of modern roundabouts at the following intersections: SR 211 at Old Hog Mountain Road, SR 211 at County Line Auburn Road, SR 211 at Dee Kennedy Road, and SR 124 at Old Hog Mountain Road. In accordance with current policy, the Department is required to consider the use of roundabouts as an alternative for intersections that have been identified as needing safety improvements. When designed properly based upon local conditions, modern roundabouts have been shown to reduce overall vehicle crashes by 35% and to reduce injury crashes by 76%.
For more detailed information on the use of modern roundabouts as an intersection safety improvement alternative, please read the below presentation prepared by the Georgia Department of Transportation.

An Autobiography
By Frank Lloyd Wright
he Larkin Building was the first emphatic protestant in architecture. Yesit was the first emphatic outstanding protest against the tide of meaningless elaboration sweeping the United States as Uncle Dan Burnham, calling it by a different name, had prophesied it would do. The United States were being swept into one grand rubbish heap of the acknowledged styles, instead of intelligently and patiently creating a new architecture.
The Larkin Administration Building was a simple cliff of brick hermetically sealed (one of the first air-conditioned buildings in the country) to keep the interior space clear of the poisonous gases in the smoke from the New York Central trains that puffed along beside it.
It was built of masonry materialbrick and stone; and in terms of the straight line and flat plane the Larkin Administration Building was a genuine expression of power directly applied to purpose, in the same sense that the ocean liner, the plane or the car is so. And its only fair to say that it has had a profound influence upon European architecture for this reason.
The character and brutal power as well as the opportunity for beauty of our own age were coming clear to me. In fact I saw then as now that they are all one. I saw our own great chance in this sense still going to waste on every side. Rebellious and protestant as I was myself when the Larkin Building came from me, I was conscious also that the only way to succeed, either as rebel or as protestant, was to make architecture genuine and constructive affirmation of the new Order of this Machine Age.

"A lot has happened since we signed the contract with Per Aarsleff on Stage 1 in August 2015, and now it turns out that preparation for a 14-meter draft was a very reasonable decision. We can investigate a further expansionsooner than expected, but the concluded contracts and the projects we currently have, show that a depth of 14 meters has great potential,"says Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen, Director, Frederikshavn Harbor.

Rockin' Refuel sent our family 7 bottles of their great tasting protein milk beverages. We all loved the taste, but my 13 year old athlete dominated over the drink. The drinks arrived the week of 8th grade basketball tryouts. His first year of school ball. We live in a huge school district. About 130 boys tried out. 32 spots for 3 teams were filled. He made it. WooHoo!!! When he got home both days from school, he carbed up and drank a Rockin' Refuel. Then again after he finished with his tryout for the night.The flavors they sent us are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. His favorites are the Chocolate Muscle Builder and Recovery. Why chocolate milk? Based on recent research, chocolate milk is shown to help people recover after exercise. It helps refuel exhausted muscles, making energy available nearly twice as effective as commercial sports drinks. As a mother, here are the things that caught my attention: NO high fructose corn syrup, 20 g of protein (muscle recovery), natural electrolytes, low in fat, full of flavor, made with real milk and 9 essential vitamins.
After reading those nutrition guidelines, I was very eager for my young athlete to drink Rockin' Refuel over some of the other leading sports drinks. Especially, if the protein is going to help fill him up.
Rockin' Refuel is made up of world-class athletes, respected organizations, and top-level universities and high schools that demand the best. That's why they don't settle for anything less than the right kind of protein beverage for their training needs. To find out which Rockin' Refuel is right for you, go to this link.
You can order Rockin' Refuel online or find a store near you. The drinks are also at your area QuikTrip, Wal-Mart and 7-11 stores.
Which one of my readers wants their own Rockin Refuel protein milk beverage? Rockin' Refuel is sending one of you a case (12) of MUSCLE RECOVERY CHOCOLATE ASEPTIC.
- 20g high quality, natural protein
- 2:1 carbs to protein – optimal ratio for muscle recovery
- 100% great tasting, real low fat milk
- Excellent source of protein and calcium (not found in traditional sports drinks)
- Lactose free
- Shelf-stable
- NCAA compliant
How cool is that? All you have to do is answer the following question. What SPORT do you/your family member that will be drinking this protein milk beverage participate in?
Disclosure (in accordance with the FTC's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising): Many thanks to Rockin' Refuel for providing this prize for the giveaway. Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post. Only one entrant per mailing address, per giveaway. If you have won the same prize on another blog, you are not eligible to win it again. Winner is subject to eligibility verification.

The Story of Augustus Lebourdais
For the most part, this is a true story, but I have taken some liberties with the dates, for which I didn't feel like looking up at this time. The story was wrote as a story for Writers Island and there was considered to be fiction, so I didn't need to worry about exact details. However, because it is a story of the Magdalen Islands, I decided to put it here also.The Snowman
Long ago, in the year 1873, a ship coming down the river of Saint Lawrence, ran head on into a disastrous hurricane as it approached the north dunes of the Magdalen Islands. The cold December winds had been coming up from the south, so the Captain of the sailing schooner Wasp had decided to stay the ship on North. But as history tells it, the wind shifted as the ship approached the center of the islands and blew with such force, that the ship foundered on Shoal's reef. Before long, the ship fell apart, and 19 of the 20 seamen on board were soon lost.
One man however, the first mate, managed to cling to one of the broken ships masts and was pushed ashore, through sea ice and broken slush. He was frozen and encrusted with ice but still crawled up the sand and roll down the other side of a sand hill. There he laid until morning.
Some young people came as soon the light of day approached, for shipwrecks were common on the islands, in those days and interesting and much needed salvage could be found. As they approached the sand hill, the man raised up his towering form to eight feet and scared the boys who ran off to tell their fathers about the big foot snowman on the beach. At first they were scoffed at but the priest decided to go look at the monstrosity. All he found were footprints, the length of a yard-stick amongst the flotsam of ship wreckage, and he prayed.
The men came and they followed the prints, remembering another haunting story, of another victim whom they thought was not Christian so they had buried him face down in a sand hill, because the color of his skin was black. But he kept being uncovered by the wind though the people thought he dug himself out and they were afraid of the unnatural. Three times he had been buried and three times the dead man rose from the sand and haunted the families of the small village nearby, with eerie crying wails, until finally they gave him a decent Christian burial in the catholic cemetery.
The yard-long foot steps disappeared and they lost their quarry, so they headed home to face another brutal night of wicked northerly winds with and freezing sleet. Once again that night the people of the village heard wails and screams of the haunted nearby. Fearful, the priest with a group of men with lanterns, searched around the homes and barns trying to find the source of the wailing and by lamp light they found the yard-long foot prints in drifts of snow, near large stacks of hay. Behind one of these stacks they found a snowman, eight-feet tall, lying on its side where it had fallen. The snow moved and moaned and the men cried and ran for the priest to save them from the unnatural beast.
The priest used all his holy water to bless the strange mass before realizing that there was a man, as human as he under all the ice and snow. As quickly as they could, they brought him to the warmth of the parsonage to thaw the snow man out. The pain and screams as the man's limbs thawed haunted the priest for the rest his natural life. The tales of the eight-foot snowman that came to life haunted the villagers for many generations to come. But for Augustus LeBourdais, his life had just began as if he had been re-born and for islanders who were fortunate enough to work with this man, well..., they too, have gone down in history as being men of vision, who brought the islands into the twentieth century, by bringing the telegraph system to the Magdalens.
The priest and a few of the men had to saw the man's feet off because they had been frozen beyond rejuvenation. They did this without the benefit of anesthesia and when the spring thaw came they sent him to Quebec City, where he had the rest of his legs removed, just below the knees. Augustus returned to the Magdalen Islands, to marry one of the village girls whom he fell deeply in love with, during that long cold winter.

|View from belvedere on the path to Anginola
The island of Capri, world famous for its Natural Arch (at the moment encased in scaffolding), the Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni Rocks, its Piazzetta and the jet set that frequent it, also has a lesser known side - its hiking trails.
|Climbing up Anginola
Two Sundays ago, having caught the ferry from Sorrento, we arrived to find the port heaving with tourists of every nationality (no surprises there...). Instead of joining the queue for the funicular railway or trying to squeeze ourselves sardine-like into the tiny buses that go up to the centre, we left them to it and headed for the lanes and tranquillity.
Once up in Capri town, we by-passed the main square and went straight towards the hospital which is where the path leading to the trail to Anginola begins.We were aiming for Monte Solaro, which, at 587m, is the highest point of the island. Most people take the bus to Anacapri and then the chairlift, but we, as hikers do, were walking there.
The paved path turned into a track, and once past the belvedere with its splendid views of Marina Grande and the mainland beyond, we went into the woods and the going got steeper and steeper. Eventually we came to the rock face of Anginola and with the aid of strategically placed chains, inched ourselves up and along the ledges until we came out at the top. This is definitely not something for anyone with vertigo, but if I can do it, just about anyone can. That said, it is always a relief and a celebration to come out onto the grassy plateau above.
Once there, we had some difficulty in finding the trail which was to take us to Cetrella (476m) since the vegetation was thick and thorny, but once on it, the going was smooth and made even more enjoyable by the numerous wild orchids in flower (bright pink anacamptis sp. and the more discreet ophrys sp.). The ancient hermitage of S.Maria a Cetrella was closed, but even so, the views over to the Faraglioni rocks were superb.
We started the final ascent to Monte Solaro looking back every now and then to enjoy the sight of the Sorrento peninsula stretching out far beyond. Yet more orchids, lots of them, but now orchis italica (or naked men).
We arrived at the top to find the gate padlocked, so climbed over the railings. There were a lot of tourists milling around, many armed with those abominable selfie-sticks, but again we left them to it, and having admired and photographed the 360° views, once again abandoned "civilisation" taking the narrow trail along the side of the ridge to Monte Cocozzo.
We stopped for lunch surrounded by orchids, with the sea far, far below and seagulls circling overhead. There was no one else, and in fact during the entire hike, we met just 2 other walkers. Sandwiches consumed, we set off again, starting to descend quite steeply and soon having the first views of the lighthouse at Punta Carena.
Next came the "Parco Filosofico", which is by no means a park in the true sense of the word, and at its best never particularly attractive. It was now looking yet more neglected, but from its belvedere the view of the lighthouse was even better. On through the pine wood and all too soon we were back on the asphalt and heading towards Anacapri where again the tourists were out in force.
A quick visit of the church of San Michele with its amazing majolica floor (2 euros entry fee) and we made for the Scala Fenicia and its 921 steps which took us back down to the port.

... no, today I'm not going to do it... no, no and once more no, my lips are sealed and I'm not going to ask this question once more, the question where September might have disappeared to and how it was possible that we're finding ourselves in October now with Christmas coming nearer and nearer, no, although this question really puzzles me and I can not find an answer I am not going to ask this question aloud and instead of this I am going to help my Birgit once more at a month's beginning to update her several calendars. See, although I can't get in my mind that we're having October now... but it doesn't matter which month it is - I am always a gentlebeary. *grin* Let's see what our wisdom calendar is offering us. A very nice arrangement of pumpkins... no doubt about it, Halloween isn't far away anymore... *gulp* And a saying by Ramakrishna about the way you're thinking would influence your harvest.
Birgit is just saying in the background that in this case I would only harvest strawberries... *giggle* Oh my... strawberries... sweet, red, juicy, aromatic strawberries... *sigh*... eh... where was I... October, calendar update... Well, a calendar is quite helpful, not only because time is flying away so fast but also because sometimes you might mix up times. See, last Saturday we've all been asking ourselves if time might have flown away even faster as usual and if it might be Christmas already... Really, you can get thoughts like this when the mailman delivers two surprise packages! (Btw - as you know by now I'm still the world champion of parcel opening in the beary class up to 10 cm. But you could never guess how frustrating it is having to wait until Birgit and her camera are ready to take pictures...)
Package No. 1 came from dear Nina and her friends in Riverside - that's where our friend Fudge lives now... and Birgit's tiny baby dragon Pickles. Let's have a look how lovely this was packed:
Inside were many beautiful packages... and the most beautiful of all had "For Fluby" written on it!!! Magical words!!! *beams-with-joy*
And because there was also a package for Rosey, both of us started at once to open our boxes. Inside were many gorgeous (and above all tasty!!!) pieces for us... and also a darling letter from Fudge. My, Fudge... we miss you too!!!
Rosey: What a sweet letter from Fudge... I am really touched by it...
Flutterby: Yes... and somehow I have something in my eye now...
Rosey: Eyesweat?
Flutterby: Eh... let's change the topic... just look at the Halloween treats I got. Yummie!!!
Rosey: They really look tasty... Fudge and his new friends in Riverside made a real good job with this.
Flutterby: Yes, and there's enough for everybody... for Flutterby, for Fluby, for the flutterybeary...
Rosey: Somehow I can see a scheme here... (shakes her head) Well, I prefer to dedicate my cookies to dear Fudge who has baked them as well as to Jemima and the others in Riverside and of course to dear Nina because they all were so nicely thinking of us... and the last one to Birgit because she always cares for us.
Flutterby: I can also see a scheme here... I suppose you try to gain some good points in the Golden Book... Let's better carry on... we still need to show what's inside Birgit's package.
Rosey: Unlike some other certain beary I happen to know which I'm not going to mention by name due to reasons of discretion I don't need to worry about my state in the Golden Book... My paws have not been in Birgit's candy jar yesterday without permission... this much about having to collect good points!
Flutterby (blushes): As I already said... Birgit's package... have a look what we found inside!
Rosey: And once more a darling letter from Fudge... to his Mommy... well... to our Mommy.
Flutterby: And a fantastic book that is even readable! But I really like the little duckie best...
Rosey: In the letter a message of Jemima is written, she says in her opinion everybody should have a duckie.
Flutterby: I totally agree... and somehow I was still missing such a duckie.
Rosey: You? Did you forget the house rule? I can't see any strawberry red around here... but for sure a pink colored duckie basket.
Flutterby: Okay, you shall have the basket - but the duckie stays with me.
Rosey: Only in your dreams... the duckie comes with me!
The duckie: (Hides itself in the basket being afraid of the quarrelling bearies)
Birgit (from the background): Stop fighting at once, both of you!!! Don't you notice that your frightening my - and I emphasize MY - duckie?!
Flutterby: Eh...
Rosey: Well...
Flutterby (whispering): Rats, the duckie was for sure dedicated to Birgit. Let's better continue...
Rosey (in a low voice): I exceptionally agree with you. (aloud) Look, here are also some photos included.
Flutterby: This is almost a photo story! *laughs* Let's see if we can get this in order. I suppose this is the first one...
Rosey: There's something written on the backsides...
1. Fudge am Bahnhof
2. Julie + Jemima - Quackie auf Pickles Rücken
3. Erstes Treffen mit den Hogwarts
4. Fudge + Pickles lesen
5. Pickles erinnert sich an Birgit
Flutterby: Yes, I've just noticed it too... let's see:
1. Fudge at the railway station
2. Julie + Jemima - Quackie riding on Pickle's back
3. First meeting with the Hogwarts'
4. Fudge + Pickles are reading
5. Pickles is remembering Birgit
Birgit (in the background): *urgently needs a tissue*
Rosey (swallows): Oh my... I really miss Fudge and Pickles...
Flutterby: And I have once more something in my eye... luckily there's still some package left.
Rosey: But this one is dedicated to Gertie and Magica...
Flutterby: Well... but we could already open it... as some kind of service somehow...
A voice out of nowhere: Don't you dare!!!
(Sparkling magical stars - Gertie Gumthrop, Magica de Spell, Nevermore and Igor appear)
Magica (grinning): Paws away from our gift! We are going to open this ourselves!
Gertie: Because opening gifts has its very own magic... eh... Fluby... is everything okay with you?
Flutterby (moaning): No... not at all! Could anybody help me with that duckie???
Gertie: Oh my... that poor sweetie is for sure not used to herb and beary witches.
Magica: Hello, my little friend... There's no need to be afraid of us... and this includes Nevermore and Igor too.
Igor: Nope, I don't bite ducks... this only stuffs your mouth with feathers...
Magica: Igor!!!
Igor (grinning): I was just honest...
Nevermore (grinning even broader): No need to fear, duckie, I won't do you no harm either... You're lucky not to be a mouse or a rat...
The duckie (with eyes wide open): Quack!
Magica (smiling): You will get used to all of us very soon... that's not hard... just keep in mind: We are friendly magicians and these two over there are always having an argument.
Flutterby and Rosey (together): Hey, listen!!!
Magica (laughing): But it's true... without the house rule there would be blood sometime.
Igor: That's why I don't like the house rule!
Magica: Igor, if you're going on like this you will get just a very small portion of blood soup for supper!
Igor (giggling): Just a little joke:::
Magica: I'm going to laugh later... but now let's have a look what's hidden in our package!
Und genau das haben wir gemacht - und zum Vorschein kamen viele schöne Herbstblätter, ein paar Zierdeckchen, die sogar den Geschmack von Hexen treffen und (*Tusch*)...
And that's exactly what we did - and in the box we found many beautiful autumn leaves, doilies matching even the taste of witches and (*drumroll*)...
...Wiggle, der Frosch! Wiggle gehörte zum Haushalt von Hester Hogwarts... aber er wollte gerne mal sehen, was so in der restlichen magischen Welt los ist. Naja... was soll ich sagen... da gibt's Teiche mit wasserspeienden Drachen! *lach*
... Wiggle, the frog! Wiggle belonged to the household of Hester Hogwarts... but he decided to have a look at what's going on in the rest of the magical world. Well... what am I supposed to say... there you can find ponds with water pouring dragons! *LOL*
Also, Wiggle ist glücklich... und wir auch... Aber als wäre das alles noch nicht genug, gab es ja noch Päckchen Nr. 2 - und das kam von der lieben Silke! Und ich mach es jetzt kurz, weil mir/uns da immer noch die Worte fehlen - schaut selbst:
Well, Wiggle looks very happy... and we do, too... See, this was already more than enough joy, but there was of course still package No. 2 waiting - and this was sent by dear Silke! And I'm doing it short now because words are still missing - look for yourselves:
Ein Bausatz für das Buttercup-Cottage!!! Wie toll ist das denn? Silke meint, sie käme nicht dazu, das zu bauen (naja... sie ist ja auch gerade Mama geworden... da hat man andere Prioritäten... *zwinker) und das wäre bei Birgit besser aufgehoben. Und nun mal ehrlich - das ist doch Weihnachten im Oktober, oder???
A Buttercup-kit!!! How great is that? Silke said she would lack the time to build it (well... she just became a Mommy... this changes priorities for sure... *wink*) and it would do better in Birgit's hands. Let's be honest - this is for sure Christmas in October, isn't it???
Liebe Nina und alle aus Riverside, die geholfen haben, ganz besonders natürlich unser lieber Fudge, und liebe Silke samt allen in der Villa Ratatouille: Ihr habt uns eine RIESENFREUDE gemacht!!! Und dafür sagen wir noch einmal ganz herzlich DANKE!!!
Tja, unser Oktober fing richtig gut an... und damit er auch für Euch gut anfängt, haben wir hier ein paar "BiWuBärchen im Garten"-Bilder für Euch... *grins*
Well, our October started great indeed... and to make sure it starts well for you too we're showing a few pictures of "BiWuBearies in the garden" now... *grin*
Wir wünschen Euch allen einen rundum tollen Oktober!!!
We're wishing to all of you a fantastic October!!!
Liebe Grüße / Hugs

Lenovo will launch a tablet PC in the U.S. market starting in 2011, according to a Nov. 12 report in The Wall Street Journal. That would mark yet another manufacturer entering the burgeoning tablet market, currently dominated by Apple's iPad.
Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing offered few details about the tablet to the Journal, but suggested the device will also launch in China. In the meantime, Lenovo apparently aims to outsize Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Acer: "We will keep growing faster than the market average, than the competition," Yang told the newspaper.
If the report proves accurate, it would suggest Lenovo also plans to challenge the likes of Samsung and Research In Motion, which are producing tablet devices to compete with the iPad.
RIM plans to market its PlayBook tablet PC for less than $500 in North America, according to news circulating earlier this week. The 7-inch device will likely arrive on store shelves in the first quarter of 2011, sold through a combination of carriers and stores such as Target and Best Buy.
Further reading
In the meantime, Samsung is attempting to bulldoze its way into the tablet market with the 7-inch Galaxy Tab, which is offered on five major U.S. carriers. J.K. Shin, president of Samsung's mobile business, reportedly told an audience during a Nov. 4 press conference in Seoul that he expects sales of 1 million Tab units by the end of 2010.
Samsung could also produce future tablets with varying screen sizes. "Various tablet sizes will be launched by many companies next year," Shin told the press conference. "In order to cement our strong presence in the tablet market, Samsung is preparing other kinds of tablet devices."
Analysts generally expect the tablet market to expand rapidly over the next few years.
"The tablet wars are up and running," Neil Mawston, a Strategy Analytics director, wrote in a Nov. 2 statement accompanying the research firm's newest report on the tablet market. "Apple has quickly leveraged its famous brand, an extensive retail presence and user-friendly design to develop the tablet market into a multibillion-dollar business. Android, Microsoft, MeeGo, WebOS, BlackBerry and other platforms are trailing in Apple's wake, and they already have much ground to make up."
Strategy Analytics estimated the iPad's hold on the worldwide tablet market at 95.5 percent. However, competing devices are only beginning to enter that market, suggesting that market-share percentages could change rapidly if one of them proves a hit.

The end result is this:
Yep, I've got a fluffy coaster! Or a pretty little star-shaped wall ornament. Either way, I've got a lot of learning and practicing to do, and thankfully my yarn is here (at last) so I can get right into it:
I am starting out with some Cascade 220 in Coral, Pear, Anis (hehheh), Ruby, Charcoal, and Black, but depending on how that works out I may end up using cotton. I am still kinda up in the air about that. The deadline for the swap is May 31, so I've got a little bit of time to work with here (as long as I use it right). Right now, however, I feel the urgent need to finish this sock. There's a whole story with this one, but I will get to that in my next post:

Cobra Orb. (A new breed of healer)
This robot is a product of probably 10 failed hover medics.. after that tenth attempt I decided screw that, ill give it legs. Leaping far, sliding and immediately leaping again allows you to go faster than some bombers, and catch up to the team if you happen to die.The reason it is called Cobra orb is one, because cobras are fast and can move around really quickly, and orb fit because of its slightly round shape. I really think I found the right mix between agility and tankiness. Paired with another medic is highly suggested, As most of my succesful matches are when im paired with my usual partner in crime FRICKMYFRICKER. The legs allow you to bobsled, jump, and be able to go baically wherever you want besides the sky. If you Like this build, leme know. If you want some crazy heals, Friend me. And most importantly ROBOCRAFT ON!
Pros: This bot is thick, pilot seat is on two prisms, and all aerorods with guns on them are on tx-1 blocks.(one is on a prism)
Cons: none. JK, jumping off cliffs, or other tall structures is a problem, if you remain in air too long the thrusters will pull your front up, but this is only after a long long long jump. It can be prevented if you simply let off the thruster after 1-3 seconds or before is starts to flip.
NOTE: pilot seat can be placed wherever you want really, and holloflags are optional along with the vapor trail, I just did that because of the cool arc it makes when I jump :P And aero rods arent calculated into the cost because they arent in the cube manager. And all # of blocks are exact, (may be one or so off, but thats fine.)
ONE MORE THING: the reason I put (a new breed of medic) is because I havent seen any fully functional walker medics. at least not on robocraft garage. I hope to give a little Kickstart to the walker medics out there, showing people that yes, It can be done. A fully functional walker medic. Hope you enjoy.
KEY: Pink Cube: Walker Leg
Turquoise cube: Aero rods.. you can figure out which goes where :)

Challenger TAFE's aquaculture development unit has won a $AU600,000 federal grant to test an innovative aquaculture system that it developed in conjunction with an industry partner, McRobert Aquaculture Systems. The semi-intensive floating tank system, nicknamed SIFTS, featured on the ABC?s New Inventors programme in May 2005.
The SIFTS technology will be suitable for growing fish in freshwater and marine environments as well as in saline ponds in inland areas of Australia. Challenger TAFE's research partners are CY O'Connor College of TAFE and Murdoch University. Australian Fisheries and Conservation Minister Senator Ian Macdonald said SIFTS showed considerable promise as it would allow for growing large numbers of fish at low cost, and with minimal environmental impacts. "SIFTS consists of specially designed floating tanks that sit within an inland saline pond, using the water while ensuring that the wastes are retained or used for fertilising certain crops such as fodder and turf," Macdonald said.

text: Today, the entire group went to a dock a few miles out of Falmouth to take a twilight swim in the bioluminescent lagoon. Upon arrival at the dock we noticed several tables set up in the center and a bar located on the far left wall. If you were to look to your right, you could see stairs outlined with vibrantly lit lights which led you up to a small eating area. Forming a picture of this area would only lead you to one conclusion- that this place is a restaurant on the water. Indeed it was, the entire area, both restaurant and dock, were called Glistening Waters. A very understated name because the water did more than glisten, it glowed. Before too long, our boat pulled up to the dock. It was small and wooden, but not in a bad or unnerving way that would give one the feeling that it would break apart. It looked sturdy yet ancient, like something out of an old novel, like we were just about to step into another amazing adventure. The group loaded onto the boat and upon departure, the captain of the boat had already started to shower us with information. He was a very outgoing person, and I think everyone could tell that he was anything but shy because of his booming voice and jolly spirit. He informed everyone on the boat that the water had a bioluminescent microorganism living beneath the depths of the lagoon. He said that in the 60's, a scientist named John Hopkins came to Jamaica to study this lagoon. He collected the obvious facts that it was bioluminous and was living in the lagoon, but he hadn't made any exemplary discoveries. All this while, we were drifting to the center of the lagoon where the captain then told us that if someone was eight feet tall and was to stand in the water, the mud on the bottom would come up to their knees. He then proceeded to stop the boat and twirl it around making a major disturbance in the water. After a few spins, he then shouted to us to look out of the sides and back of the boat. Upon doing so, we saw the glowing in the water; the bioluminescent microorganisms were creating a glowing aquamarine trail behind the motor of the boat. After a few more spins, the boat stopped, and everyone was told to go jump in and swim. The entire group jumped into the water and immediately said that it was warm and began to wave their hands, feet and legs under the water making the surrounding areas of the water light up like a light blue UV light. The water was indeed warm, and the glowing-effect spread everywhere. Despite the darkness of the starless night sky, you could easily tell who the person was that was swimming in front of you. The reason for this was that every time someone moved, the aquamarine lights would show you who they were. Feeling the mud on the floor of the water felt like the ground was quicksand and you had but minutes before you went slipping through it. Before long, we were all called back into the boat to leave. Everyone had their final swim to get to the small, wooden ladder to climb back onto the boat. After everyone was comfortably seated on a seat and wrapped up in a towel, we sped off back to the dock leaving a trail of beautiful glowing lights behind us in the water.

However, such divorce statistics would be meaningless. Other people's success or failure with marriage to a foreign bride would have no relevance to your own likelihood of success; there are too many variations for divorce statistics to be a useful indicator.

As I said before, I believe each of your gatherings should be a celebration. This doesn't mean you have to go overboard with it. Remember, if you do something too big & elaborate, how are your going to top it the next month? No, keep your stress level down by keeping it simple but fun. I shop at the dollar stores when I entertain, looking for seasonal or fun things I can use for my gatherings. Also, keep your eye out for things that may inspire an idea for a future event. Once while standing in line at Joann's, I saw rubber ducks wearing crowns. Of course I needed to pick some up!
Make your celebrations more fun when a theme is given to each. Use themes to decorate tables, choose food/snacks & select a craft or activity for the kids & members. Themes can be repeated, adapted, make it work for you. Crafts and activity materials can be found at Dollar Tree or any other dollar store. Table decorations can also be bought at the dollar store. Be creative with very little money spent.

Review: Bon Iver @ Prospect Park
I confess that due to recent apartment hunting, moving, and wedding activities, I have completely been slacking off in the concert department. When I finally do end up at a concert after a break, I am always reminded of why I like live music and how it just makes everything better. This was definitely the case last night at the Prospect Park band shell.
While I really like Bon Iver and I have had tickets to last night's show at Prospect Park's Celebrate Brooklyn concert for a while, I was skeptical about the combination of a huge open air venue and the quiet, contemplative music of Bon Iver. Boy was I in for a surprise.This is what I was expecting:
And this is what we lucky people in the crowd, including myself, got to experience last night (especially the part after the 3 minute mark):
The openers, The Rosebuds, were a fun band from North Carolina. They got the night off to a good start. There was a bit of a wait for Bon Iver to take the stage, which seemed odd because how long does it take four seemingly low-maintenance guys to get ready? Well, when they finally took the stage, out come not four, but NINE musicians. This included an additional drummer and a brass section. That was when I knew this concert was going to be different.
Since we ended up snagging a coveted spot on the hill in the lawn section, I had a great view of the whole stage. I give the whole production very high points in the lighting department. There were nine thin vertical lights spread across the stage in the background throughout the performance. Sometimes they appeared to be audio levels, bouncing up to the crash of the drum beat. At other times they were used as theme lighting (i.e. red lights = "Blood Bank"). At other times the white light seemed to produce a strobe effect and the musicians seemed to momentarily disappear a few at a time, only to quickly reappear.
The whole group of nine were onstage for most of the songs, but lead singer Justin Vernon did take a moment to slow things down with a solo song from his first album, For Emma, Forever Ago. And you knew "Skinny Love" was going to be played…the question was when? And would they do something crazy with it? When the band said good night, you knew it was coming in the encore. It ended up being the first song—with Justin Vernon on guitar and many of the other musicians providing the hand-clapping and foot stomping beat. It is not worth describing, because I am sure there are many video recordings of this song online. From the back of the lawn, all I saw was a sea of little lights, held arms-length in the air, capturing the song that made Bon Iver popular.
I have no idea if this big band set-up was special for this tour, or if it will stick around, but last night Bon Iver proved that their songs can certainly demand attention in the vast open air arena, and that they can most definitely headline a big show. I thank them very much for proving me wrong.

(Updates official closing numbers, adds details)
TORONTO, April 17 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index finished little changed on Thursday, lifted slightly by gains in financials after the core inflation rate slowed in March, while investors took profits following a steep advance in the previous session.
The financial sector added 0.8 percent, after data showed Canada's inflation rate slowed to its lowest since July 2005, allowing the Bank of Canada room to further cut interest rates.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.TO) rose 75 Canadian cents, or 1.1 percent, to C$68.56, while Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) pushed up 58 Canadian cents, or 0.9 percent, to C$63.82.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed up 16.02 points, or 0.11 percent, at 14,115.50 with half its 10 main sectors higher.
But gains were hampered by losses in the materials sector, including Potash Corp of Saskatchewan POT.TO, which fell C$1.62, or 0.8 percent, to C$196.88 after its recent spectacular run-up.
The fertilizer company vaulted more than 5 percent on Wednesday amid a surge in the price of potash exports to China, and helped the index as a whole soar nearly 250 points.
Overall, the materials sector declined 1 percent on Thursday, as its subindex of gold producers gave up 1.3 percent amid softer bullion prices. Inmet Mining IMN.TO was down C$2.11, or 2.1 percent, at C$96.50, and Goldcorp (G.TO) slid 63 Canadian cents, or 1.5 percent, to C$42.79.
On the upside, the energy sector rose 0.3 percent after oil hit a new peak over $115 a barrel, before settling down 7 cents at $114.86. Suncor Energy (SU.TO) was up C$1.92, or 1.7 percent, at C$116.30 and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) gained 86 Canadian cents, or 1 percent, to C$85.01.
Shares of Angiotech Pharmaceuticals ANP.TO added 37 Canadian cents, or 13.3 percent, to C$3.16 after it said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the marketing of its drug-eluting catheter in the United States. The small health sector gained 2.5 percent.
