Once upon a time I fancied myself as a coder. In the early 80's I spent hours in a local computer shop writing an ASCII program to make a bird fly across the screen of an Amstrad computer. I couldn't afford the computer so I would come into the shop every day and hide down the back looking through the manual and writing a bit more code. It was a great sense of achievement when the bird finally flew, the shop owner was impressed, in fact I was impressed, which goes to show that neither one of us would ever become hard-core coders.
Many years have passed and I can get by writing code, I use code when I have to join something weird to something weirder. The result is not pretty but usually works, for a time at least. I only have to write code as a last resort when something is broken and all hope is lost, my code philosophy is that if you use enough superglue, its bound to stick together.
I work with people whose brains are wired differently. When I present them with a problem I can see the cogs spinning at astonishing rates as they effortlessly come up with solutions, it is truly amazing. Our main field of work is complex systems and integration. The answer to most of our problems doesn't appear on the first five pages of Google. I have noticed though that the cleverer the person, and the more simple the problem, the more complicated the solution becomes. For example if I give a simple problem (I need to get from A to B) to a very clever person, I will get a complex solution (They first define gravity so you will stay on the ground while you travel from A to B).
As I reached for the superglue instead of asking a real clever person what they thought, I begin with the typical code line …
while true;
I stopped for a moment and thought about that opening statement of code which tells the system that while something is true, begin xyz. On most systems there is a program called 'true' (/bin/true on Unix), there is also one called 'false' but it doesn't get that much attention. The marvel of the program called 'true' is that it does absolutely nothing. That's right nothing, not a sausage, it's an empty file. It just exists so it can exit with a zero exit status. But here is the thing, back in 1980 AT&T the developers of the first Unix system, decided that it needed to be copyrighted and pushed copyright claims. Amazingly if you open the file called 'true' it contains a few comments that it is copyright protected by AT&T and that is all, no code, nothing.
This proves my point that we love to make things complicated, we can even complicate something simple like 'true' that serves the simplest of tasks. Things that are true cannot be that complicated.
I had better get back to my superglue….

Lovely Herringbone Floors
January 15, 2013 § Leave a comment
I have a design crush on wood herringbone floors, really herringbone anything. I'm especially fond of wide planked, slightly worn herringbone floors that make you think of beautiful French apartments, or more traditionally, European chateaus. I find herringbone patterns very elegant, yet masculine, which strikes a nice balance.
Herringbone and chevron patterns are often used interchangeably but they are not the same, although I do love both. The herringbone pattern has staggered planks where as the chevron's planks meet at a center line. Chevrons are cut on the diagonal while herringbone is not.

Summing Up The Second Trimester
I started my second trimester on the 18th of August and in between then and a few weeks ago so much has happened. I felt much better in the second trimester than I did in the first! I was so happy to be picking up within myself again and being able to come home from work and actually sit downstairs and have conversation rather than going straight to bed. There was many ups and downs (excuse the cliché phrase) but it definitely flew by!
August – Sharing Our News
First thing was to tell the world about our exciting news. All family members and closet friends already knew so we thought we would just do the standard Facebook post. Not much creativity but for someone who wasn't even sure if she wanted to make it into an announcement, it was good enough for us. For weeks before I went back and forth unsure whether to just leave it and let people find out in their own time or whether to stop the 'has she put on weight or is she pregnant' talk. In the end, we decided it was easier to just make it common knowledge and to share our news, after all we had kept it secret since finding out and were ready to tell everyone how excited we were.
September – Does my bump look big in this?
September I spent most of my free time either looking in the mirror at my tummy trying to find a bump…needless to say there wasn't a visible one there yet. Didn't stop me trying though. We looked at all the different baby bits now that we felt we could go into shops and buy the odd thing. We went up to London to watch Aladdin which was very good, but probably not so enjoyable for Dan as I was more paranoid about being caught in one of the ongoing terrorist attacks that were happening. In my head I was fully aware that it can happen anywhere and at any time but I think knowing that if something happened to me it would also affect our baby too made it much more real and scary. Dan and I also decided we were going to find out the gender of our baby and at 16 weeks we found out we were going to have a baby girl. We were both over the moon, especially Dan who had been secretly hoping for a daddy's girl.
October – Short Break to Barcelona
I mean I need not say much about this as I did a blog post just on this event. It was such a nice time for me and Dan but both came out the other side of it knowing that we weren't going to be going abroad whilst pregnant ever again! End of! In October we also had our 20 week scan which was all good and as it should've been, although we were in there for just under an hour and made to go for walks/runs to try and move her as she as being super stubborn and refused to wake up and move about to allow the sonographer to find all the bits she needed too. Whilst we were there, they confirmed that she was indeed a girl. The week after I went to Bristol with my dad to see War Horse which he bought me for my 21st birthday present. I'm pretty sure he didn't think his daughter would be pregnant whilst accompanying him to this! I had such a lovely night, first having dinner with him and my uncle and then spending some time one on one with my lovely papa. I think the only downside to having a young, beautiful and youthful looking dad is that people often mistake him for your other half! We both laugh about it and hope the fact that we have pretty similar features is enough for people to know we are father and daughter.
November – Tears All Round
I think November was a pretty quiet month, we painted the nursery and watched lots of pretty fireworks (from the comfort of the bedroom window) and discussing if baby hears the bangs. Only because Google told me that baby was by then sensitive to sound and may jump at loud noises. We came to the conclusion that it probably meant nearby loud noises and that was that.
November was the month where I started to feel baby more than ever and sometimes, even see her moving. So during the last few weeks of November when I had days where I didn't think I was feeling her as much but putting it down to being on the move. Eventually, when I had driven myself insane about it I decided to ring the maternity unit and just be reassured. They asked me to come up to the hospital so they could find the heartbeat and monitor it just to ensure baby is well. Dan and I went up and I did the usual, wee in a cup, blood pressure and all that jazz and the midwife listened in for the heartbeat. After trying for 10-15 minutes I was getting nervous, in fact so nervous, that they picked up my heartbeat through my stomach instead of the babies! As the minutes went by I could see the midwifes face becoming concerned and she looked up and said she was going to stop trying as she didn't want to upset me…and with that the flood gates opened! I cried and she reassured us and told me she was going to get the doctor and the scan machine.
I pulled myself together and sat with some water trying not to look at Dan as I knew that would just make me cry again. Whilst we were waiting for the Doctor she asked me if I wanted her to try once more with a different machine and I said she could. And with that eventually we heard her heartbeat! (Little madam was cooped right up down in my pelvis)! I was elated and relieved and out of nowhere Dan started to cry his little heart out, bless him, he held it together so well until then.
We both said how scary it was and had never felt relief like it. I think it made us realise whether you have had an easy pregnancy or a more complicated one it's the little things babies do that makes us all worry the most. Safe to say since then she has been moving normally, they said she must have just been having a growth spurt and been more sleepy than usual.
December – Ending the second trimester
In the first week of December I left the second trimester and began the third. The end is now near, although it's not at all the end, it is the beginning! Looking back on the second trimester I was still tired, and deciding to go part time with work was a good decision and for the most of it I felt a lot better. However the one time I was ill it seemed to hit me like a tonne of bricks! Then followed by our reassuring check-up turning into a manic 20 minute worry, which by the way we didn't tell anyone about at the time. Not really sure of the reason why, we just never did. Now, here we are, December is here, the Christmas decs are up and we are charging into the third trimester with more excitement than ever about meeting our little girl!

They are three young women rocking Canadian feminism, eagerly taking the movement into its next wave: besties and change-makers Lia Valente and Tessa Hill who are remaking the Ontario Sex-Ed curriculum; and badass social organizer Alexi Halket, founder of Crop Top Day, which defied high school dress codes that corner girls into the role of temptress.
For young women coming of age today, the culture of consent — of Yes Means Yes —is critical. After all, they grew up in the era of the high profile sexual assaults and tragic deaths of Rehtaeh Parsons and Amanda Todd, the sexual assault charges and case against Jian Ghomeshi, the culture of FHRITP, the infamy of rape chants on Canadian university campuses (looking at you, SMU and UBC), and high-profile sexual harassment and assault cases (ahem, Dal's Dentistry School and the UofO).
Yet as Halket, Valente, Hill and their peers grow into womanhood, they are both taught by mainstream society to see their bodies as objects of temptation and to be responsible for the insatiable, uncontrollable desire of boys and men (which is a terrible indictment of men, btw). It's a heavy burden to carry. And it's a burden that Hill, Valente and Halket reject and refuse to shoulder.
As Carla Lucchetta argues for TVO, "School protests are on the rise in Ontario – and girls are leading the charge."
Hill, Valente and Halket are part of a movement of young women who aren't afraid to use "feminist" to describe themselves and who are leveraging the power of social media to reach out and be heard like never before. Consider Project Slut, headed up by Kerin John, Erin Dixon and Andy Villanueva, three girls who were then in their senior year at Central Tech in Toronto, which sought to reclaim and rehabilitate "sluts" for their wardrobe choices. Or Laura Anderson in London, Ontario, who was told not to "dress skanky," by her school principal for wearing ripped jeans and responded with #mybodymybusiness. Or Raphaelle Lalonde and her peers at FACE school in Montreal, sent home with letters chastising them for their choice of dress.
Ahead of the International Day of the Girl on Sunday, we celebrate Hill, Valente, Halket and the thousands of girls like them who are remaking the world in their image, changing the way in which we think about girls' sexuality and the way we think about women's bodies.
A world in which it is they who call the shots.
Lia Valente and Tessa Hill weren't even born when the Ontario Sex-Ed curriculum was last updated in 1998.
So for two teen girls who were hit hard by headlines of the Steubenville rape case — which would figure prominently in their film Allegedly — it was important to find out what this new curriculum would include.
As it turned out, the curriculum wouldn't include nearly as much as they thought it might. After a meeting of their school's Queer Street Alliance, the pair learned that LGBTQ issues or even consent wouldn't be covered in the new health curriculum. That wasn't good enough to the two then-13 year olds.
Armed with a vision for change, Valente and Hill want to change our culture from one that believes that "No Means No," to "Yes Means Yes."
And given that only one in three Canadians actually understands what sexual consent means, it's clear that we – not just our children – are in desperate need of an education.
It was this shortcoming that prompted Hill and Valente to work together to form We Give Consent, a social media campaign complete with a Change.org petition, that sought to clinch a curriculum "that speaks to our lives and helps to make us safer."
It earned them the attention of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.
In late January, Wynne met with Hill and Valente. And enacted the changes demanded by the girls.
"Using your voice is so important," says Hill. "I'm happy to see how far we've come," continues Valente. "But rape culture still affects our day-to-day lives as young girls in Toronto."
Read more about Lia Valente and Tessa Hill.
Is this feminism, or a breach of the rules, screams the subheadline in the UK's Mirror.
Alexi Halket, fierce femme in the making broke dress-code rules at her Etobicoke secondary school, turning the conversation about how we talk about women and dress on its head, sending many into fits of pearl-clutching.
"School dress codes teach female students that their bodies are a problem and they have to cover up," says Halket. "Sending girls home because what they're wearing is "disrupting" the learning of their peers, especially males, is sending the message that a male's education is more important than a female's."
When she was told her crop top looked too much like a sports bra, Halket went home and with the support of friends, took to Facebook and Twitter, sparking #CropTopDay, a spontaneous movement that saw youth of all gender identities and sexualities reject the old adage that a woman was 'asking for it' because of what she wore.
"I'm very proud of them for talking about what they value," school principal Rob MacKinnon said to The Huffington Post. Though he appears to have remained steadfast in maintaining a professional environment, kudos to him for refusing to crack down and encouraging dialogue in the matter.
"This issue encompasses much more than dress codes, including a woman's right to breastfeed in public," Halket told MTV. "All of these actions and behaviours by women are deemed inappropriate and offensive, and I wanted to ask WHY."
At eighteen years of age, Halket is already turning received knowledge on its head, asking all the right questions about why we objectify women's bodie more rules and making this a safer world for all of us.

So today, for the second time, I made my way to the DMV to take my drive test. I've already had my permit for a year and a half...I've already passed my written test...all I need to do is just go on that drive test and get the okay to have my license! The first time I went, my dad forgot the insurance card. And this time? My horn didn't work. Seriously, the HORN. Everything else was perfect. I had all my lights working, the seat belts buckled to perfection...but when I hit the horn, only silence came out. But really, the drive test consists of one busy street and a bunch of neighborhood streets. When would I ever need my horn in that fifteen minutes of driving? It's ridiculous. But now we've got to go get the horn replaced and schedule ANOTHER test. Man, do I dislike the DMV.

Leading Evangelist: Barack Obama Is Not a Christian- He Is Enemy of God!! (Video)
Bummer… Leading Internet evangelist Bill Keller of Liveprayer is not buying that Obama is a Christian–
In fact, he says Obama is an "enemy of God."
And, Keller decided to preach about it on YouTube:
Barack Obama is NOT a Christian, he is an ENEMY of God!!!
The video has the Obama Campaign "scrambling to do damage control."
The Standard Newswire reported:
Senator Barack Obama's campaign team is scrambling to do damage control in the wake of the national story two weeks ago when the world's leading Internet evangelist Bill Keller of Liveprayer, questioned in a widely distributed Op-ed article, YouTube video, and Daily Devotional to his 2.4 million subscribers whether Senator Obama was really a Christian.
Keller questioned the authenticity of Senator Obama's faith in Christ due to the fact he has stated there are "many paths to God" when orthodox Christianity clearly teaches that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved, in addition to his support of killing babies, gay marriage, and giving away part of Israel to the Palestinians, all contrary to Christian teachings according to the Bible.
In response to Keller's assertions, the Obama campaign has launched the Joshua Generation Project, concentrating on young Christian rather than older Christians who are unlikely to support someone who advocates killing babies and gay marriage. Also, last week Senator Obama had a private meeting in Chicago with a handpicked selection of evangelicals who were allowed to ask him any question, but were forbidden to share his answers with the press or in any public forum.
Lastly, was the launch of a new campaign website designed to counter the rumors and false information being spread on the Internet.
It looks like the Obama campaign will have to start a new section on the Fight the Smears website.
The topic of today's LivePrayer television program is whether or not Barack Obama is indeed a Christian.

INOVA AreaCAD-GIS
AreaCAD-GIS enables engineers to access data previously locked up in the GIS department, while providing the best CAD tools available to edit native geospatial data.
With FDO Data Access Technology, AreaCAD-GIS Client enables team members to work with large GIS-scale data sets and directly access, without translation, advanced geospatial databases. This allows organizations to store both spatial and attribute data in one place without expensive and proprietary middleware. Since most organizations have hybrid software environments, AreaCAD-GIS Client offers direct read/write capabilities for most popular GIS formats, helping to ensure information accuracy by eliminating data conversion.
Urban Infrastructure Design and Management
The AreaCAD-GIS Client/Server architecture represents an open and flexible solution that extends the power of the AutoCAD Map 3D and Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise platforms. AreaCAD-GIS addresses the challenges faced by organizations that design and manage infrastructure projects by integrating Autodesk design software with an Oracle spatial database, enabling teams to manage and share a single source of information across departments. AreaCAD-GIS customers can see the big picture with a more integrated view of all of their enterprise data, as well as improve productivity and bottom-line results by completing projects faster and maintaining assets more efficiently.
AreaCAD-GIS Client/Server solution offers modules for managing specific types of infrastructure systems, including spatial planning, telecommunications networks, etc. Each module provides a detailed data model that organizations configure to capture exactly the infrastructure asset information they need. AreaCAD-GIS workflows reduce steps when designing new infrastructure, and provide security and consistency as people in separate departments work with and update the database. Finally, AreaCAD-GIS' multiple display models enable each user of the system to view information with the scale, symbols, and formatting most relevant to them.
Desktop CAD/GIS Platform
Application is fully based on AutoCAD Map 3D, the leading engineering GIS platform for creating and managing spatial data, serves as the desktop-based core of the client-server platform. AreaCAD-GIS provides direct access to the leading data formats used in design and GIS—no matter how the data is stored. It also makes maintaining and editing spatial data efficient by providing users with a familiar AutoCAD-based working environment.
With the AreaCAD-GIS Client/Server architecture, organizations are no longer hamstrung by the historic division between the CAD and GIS worlds. In the past, CAD provided smart graphics characterized by sophisticated, accurate represe-ntations of the world and excellent tools for geometry creation, editing, and dimensioning. However, tools for linking external data tables or creating data attributes in CAD files have not been that robust. GIS provided a very robust connection to databases, but less sophisticated graphics. AreaCAD-GIS brings together CAD and GIS by combining the powerful, smart graphics of CAD with direct, native access to the world's most common GIS databases and files.
One of the underlying technologies that Inova AreaCAD-GIS uses to break down barriers between data is a common data access platform called Feature Data Objects (FDO) Data Access Technology. FDO technology supports the creation of data-store-neutral applications and facilitates direct information exchange. To make it easier for developers to extend the capabilities of FDO, Autodesk, in partnership with the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), has released FDO as an open source project. Because this underlying technology is based on open standards, it eliminates many of the difficulties commonly encountered when working with proprietary systems.
Web Mapping Platform
The server-based core of the overall AreaCAD-GIS platform – AreaCAD-GIS Server – is fully based on Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise, enabling organizations to share spatial data over the web on dynamically generated maps. AreaCAD-GIS Server delivers powerful, easy-to-use online maps and related information in a development environment that leverages the advantages of open source technology. AreaCAD-GIS Server and AreaCAD-GIS Client share a unified geospatial application programming interface (API) as well as unified FDO data access technology that can be used to build custom applications that share business logic and common code.
With the same access architecture and common code, AreaCAD-GIS Client shares information easily with AreaCAD-GIS Server. AreaCAD-GIS Server server-based technology delivers rich, web-based capabilities such as dynamic data visualization, feature selection and attribute display, data query and update, and geometric analysis. Because AreaCAD-GIS Server can use any web browser, organizations can use it to distribute data and spatial functionality to a large number of people and applications.

Who doesn't LOVE finger knitting?! I can tell you that pretty much every third and fourth grade student LOVES finger knitting at Harris Elementary. The students have been hard at work finger knitting at home, recess, library and art classes to work on this large weaving project pictured above.
Remember the post about t-shit weaving on a HOOLA HOOP? Well, we did the same thing, but with finger knit rope and then tied them together to make a giant rug. This rug will be used as a wall hanging in our school and will be on display at our annual art show on April 3rd!
This is a school-wide project that everyone in our school has worked on and is about 6' x 4'.

Not so rapid my goat confronted good friend? This yr's "Wrestlemania" is being held within the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the sight of "Wrestlemania XXX". On that evening 4 years in the past, Daniel Bryan ascended to the highest of the wrestling international however it was once a pointy fall quickly after that. However, there is also an opportunity for a go back to the hoop.
You would possibly consider this one.
[This post contains video, click to play]
Bryan was once just lately interviewed by means of the National (out of Abu Dhabi) the place he spoke at the upcoming Wrestlemania season. This comprises Bryan talking about attempting to go back to the hoop and an replace on being cleared by means of numerous medical doctors. Bryan is a candidate to group with Shane McMahon towards Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Here are some highlights with transcription courtesy of 411mania.com:
On Possibly Participating within the Match
"I don't know and I don't assume they know. I feel all of it relies on whether or not or no longer I am getting cleared. As of this second, as of as of late, I'm really not cleared by means of WWE. I've executed the whole thing in my energy. Everything they've requested me to and I've long past above and past so far as 'Okay, what doctors do you need me to see. Send me to any doctor you want, any doctor that you want and lets get their feedback on what is going on with me.'
So a ways each physician has cleared me that they have got despatched me too and so there's a probability. I used to assume that the share of the WWE ever clearing me was once low. I feel with the stuff that I've executed it has long past a bit of upper however I don't understand how a lot upper. With how the whole thing is there may be sooner or later to move if I don't get cleared [storyline wise] after which there may be differently to move if I'm cleared. I hope to be cleared however I don't know which means it is going."
On Memories From "Wrestlemania XXX"
"It is attention-grabbing. Because after I recall to mind the recollections in truth I recall to mind the evening [itself] as a result of the whole thing else was once a blur. We had been filming my spouse's fact TV display after which the WWE cameras had been following me round. My spouse and I had been additionally getting married the next Friday. Then you have got all of the appearances you have got right through WrestleMania week. So, so far as that is going, the week itself was once a blur.
If you had been to invite me the place the rest was once in New Orleans I'd do not know. I don't even consider what the again degree area seems like as a result of I used to be hustling from side to side such a lot. I harm my shoulder beautiful dangerous within the first fit after which I stopped up having neck surgical operation and having a terrible ache down my arm on the time. After the primary fit I used to be getting taped up and seeking to get myself again to the place I may compete so it's going to be attention-grabbing to return there and be like 'Oh, this is what the arena is like.'"
And on Comparisons to Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn
"I think there is so much that is similar between me, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. In terms of where we come from and also kind of the perception of some of the people in the office about Sami and Kevin and the way that people perceived me as far as thinking 'Sami Zayn does not have the look to be a top level WWE Superstar.' But he has the ability. Like people connect with him and I think the same thing with Kevin Owens and I think that makes it a very natural storyline to tell."
Opinion: I will be able to respect Bryan's optimism about attending to step again right into a WWE ring however at this level, I will be able to't consider it taking place. There are lots of businesses ready to welcome him with open fingers after he's executed in WWE, however at the present time that's all I will be able to consider being conceivable. Bryan obviously needs to strive against once more and that's positive. I don't assume it's in WWE although.
And the construct is also even higher.

(This article was first published in print in issue 13 of the Philippine Collegian on 13 September 2012.)
As much as the world has moved on, it remains haunted by the spectre of fallen towers.
The attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, commonly referred to as 9/11, destroyed a 16-acre trade complex in New York City and killed around 2,749 people. After eleven years, the event still resonates in many Americans. .
The opening of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the Ground Zero site last year, as well as the completion of the One World Trade Center tower this year, brought renewed hope and optimism to the American nation, especially in light of its flailing economy.
This renewed optimism, however, comes at the price of racial and cultural rifts perpetuated by the American media, necessitating changes in the rhetoric of American politics and electioneering.
Phantom towers
Film and television have always been a means of propaganda, disseminating and fortifying certain ideologies by presenting recurrent images. Since 9/11, American media has produced numerous films and television programs that tackle the repercussions of the terrorist attacks.
After the attacks, producers edited out images of the Twin Towers from their films, wary of the possibility of inflicting unnecessary national trauma by the sight of the towers. While this seemed an act of sensitivity to the grieving public, it can also pass as denial that the attacks even happened. By erasing the image of the towers, American media allowed their nation a period of denial to deal with their grief and to cling to their waning perceived power.
More than a decade hence, deletions have been replaced by insertions, with the towers seemingly rising up from the ashes, standing tall and untarnished even in films and television shows that are set at present. Sci-fi TV programs like "Fringe" offer parallel universe scenarios where the terrorist attacks did not happen and the World Trade Center had not been destroyed. While these may serve as mere cinematic liberties, these also project US' fantasy image of remaining untouchable even after the reality of the attacks.
The American media has been instrumental, not just in the coping and the rehabilitation of a grieving nation, but also in reflecting the country's growing schizophrenia. As 9/11 commemorative stickers and banners scream "Never Forget," outstanding media representations of Ground Zero hints heavily of denial and forgetting. However, as the American media perpetuates images of resurrecting towers, it also paints terrorizing portraits of the established "other," reminding the nation to never forget its "true" enemies.
Infidels within
Since 9/11, the world has seen films and television shows constantly raising suspicion of terrorist plots against the US government. Muslim nationals from Arab nations are often portrayed as traitorous, bomb-toting extremists sent out to destroy key US cities and government institutions, with federal agents foiling their intricate plots before time runs out.
This skewed racial representation is the direct result of then President George W. Bush's "War on Terror" rhetoric, whose ambiguities set the conditions for heightened suspicion, paranoia, and racial intolerance. Most critics have described it as a "melodrama", where a victimized America constantly fends off a villainous "other" threatening its moral values, freedom, and democracy. This dichotomy paved the way for the distorted condescension of "real Americans" and created resentment towards migrants, especially Arab and Muslim nationals.
Racial intolerance intensified after the 9/11 attacks, as non-white constituents immediately became suspects of terrorist activity. After 9/11, racial discourse in America intensified as it sparked debates about immigration, and the validity of racial profiling and stereotyping. Even Filipinos have become suspect to scrutiny due to our increasing presence in the United States and the color of our skin.
Bush's "War on Terror" also entailed the capture of John Walker Lindh, an American enemy combatant found in Afghanistan. His capture inspired film and television shows like 'Homeland' which plays on the theme of "enemies within", with American traitors infiltrating the CIA and the US government to initiate a terrorist plot.
Such media representations intensify paranoia and dissent, calling for round-the-clock surveillance and reportage, with every citizen made suspect, with every individual a potential terrorist. In turn, the US government aims to placate the growing mistrust and suspicion by changing their rhetoric to suit the needs of a post-9/11 world.
Moving forward
As the US national elections loom, television screens abound with red, white, and blue banners displaying familiar slogans and even more familiar faces, with President Barack Obama running for re-election against Republican Governor Mitt Romney. Through the slogan "Forward," Obama urges the nation to leave behind the war-mongering rhetoric of the past administration while at the same time touting his regime's execution of alleged 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
In his recent weekly address honouring the 11th anniversary of 9/11, Obama highlighted the death of bin Laden, the construction of New York City's One World Trade Center, and the end of the war in Iraq as prime examples of "just how far [America has] come as a nation" after the terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, Romney and the rest of the Grand Ole Party (GOP) aim to revive religious Christian fundamentalism, waging a war against liberal policies and intensifying their campaign to return to conservative morality, as if in retaliation to perceived attacks on American culture and liberty.
The GOP leaders' continued war against Muslims and Islam becomes apparent in their fear-mongering rhetoric and election campaign. Former GOP presidentiable Rick Santorum openly supports profiling Muslims at airports to prevent possible terrorist attacks. Herman Cain, also a former GOP presidentiable, likewise argued that banning Islamic centers in Tennessee does not constitute religious discrimination.
The GOP leaders still hold conspiratorial beliefs regarding the danger posed by America's Muslim community. With Bush gone, a new generation of Anti-Muslim conservatives are waging an all too familiar war, tagging Islam as a "cult" and a "very violent religion." Such distrust allows the New York Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to put certain mosques and Islamic centers under constant surveillance.
The terrorist attack on 9/11, comparable to the bombing of Pearl Harbour and atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is an act of extreme aggression that has changed the world forever. As America struggles to move forward, the rest of the world remain affected by their actions following that fateful day. As much as the Obama administration struggles to move past America's futile "War on Terror", the world has yet to forget and, perhaps, it can't afford to. As it stands, one could only surmise the outcome of the coming US elections, with the phantom of the fallen towers casting a dark shadow on future administrations.

Being stuck in the middle of a huge traffic jam just south of Amsterdam is no fun, especially when you know that it will take at least another hour before you got back home.
To make things worse, it was pouring down rain, dark and gloomy, and the wind was blowing so hard that my car was bouncing back and forth slightly, like it was drifting on some stormy seas, dancing across the water.
Listening to Neil Young, turning up the volume real hard, hearing him singing the lyrics emotionally out loud, made me feel better.
Before I realized it I was already back home. How did that happen? The album just finished the moment my car entered the driveway and came to a gently stop.
That was when I realized that every single song on the Zuma album is amazing and that perhaps that album is the best collection of songs Neil has ever created.
I'm going to listen to it again this evening, I thought, and write about it. So here I am right now.
He came dancing across the water with his galleons and guns looking for the new world in that palace in the sun...

A Canadian boy who was left blind and brain-damaged from eating E.coli tainted hamburger is suing Westfair Foods, Superstore and XL Foods.
The lawsuit was filed in Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench and claims that the child became severely ill after eating the meat and suffered hemolytic uremic syndrome, had to undergo a kidney transplant, has spastic triplegia, developmental delays, can no longer care for himself and has severe and ongoing pain.
A lawyer for the 9-year-old said that he was hospitalized in June 2004, and that "For the first year or two they didn't know if the child would survive," and that the extent of his injuries were not known until a few years later. He described the boy as "a child with catastrophic injuries."
Attorneys for the child said he is now a permanent ward of Winnipeg Child and Family Services because his mother was no longer able to provide for his special needs. The lawsuit is seeking general damages, including the cost of lifelong care and future loss of income.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency imposed a ground beef recall in August 2004 after two people suffered E. coli poisoning in July 2004, and were able to discover the source of the tainted meat.

From Free Range International by babatim -
Last week I received and heads up from Mullah John that General Allen and Ambassador Crocker were on 60 Minutes and was able to watch the show on AFN. The one thing I noticed when watching General Allen was the emotion clearly evident as he discussed the truck bomb has had asked the Pakistani military to help stop. That bomb hit a US base in Wardak Province injuring over 8o soldiers. General Allen was told that one of the Pakistani politicians remarked that if he knew about the truck bomb why did he not stop it? He was clearly not amused by the question. I also saw something from Ambassador Crocker I really like. When asked why he came out of retirement he said that when the President tells you he needs you do a job there is only one correct response. I respect that.(READ MORE)
I make no claim to having a clue what or how General Allen is thinking as he approaches this war. I knew him 20 years ago; there have been thousands of Marines who have worked with and know him better than I ever did over the past two decades. I don't know Ambassador Crocker at all – I just liked his response on 60 minutes and I am sure he is an exceptionally talented leader.

Optional:Sand Bags
Add additional anchoring for safety, or use in situations where stakes cannot be used, such as indoors.
What to expect from your Inflatable
Blast Zone Inflatables use a constant flow of air, fed from the included blower. As air is pumped in, some escapes through the seams in the material.
This creates a stronger inflatable with ideal air pressure, so your Bouncer or Water Park supports as much playing as your kids want to do. Escaping air is all a part of the process.
You Just need a Garden Hose
Blast Zone Inflatable Water Parks and Slides include a sprayer system that attaches to a garden hose, keeping the slides just slippery enough to slide. A Flow restrictor reduces water use.
You can also adjust the flow yourself by adjusting the spigot. The sprayers only require a minimal amount of water to maintain flow on the slides, and Splash Areas have water outlets to keep water levels no more than 6" for safety.
Fast, Frustration-Free Setup
Blast Zone inflatables are up and ready for play in a matter of minutes - with most taking less than 2 minutes to inflate. To set up your bouncer or water park, simply unroll it, hook the inflation tube to the blower, stake it down and turn the blower on.
To take your inflatable down, just turn off the motor and it deflates on its own. Units roll up to the size of a medium to large sleeping bag and can be stored in the supplied storage case.
Durable, Safe Products
Blast Zone takes pride in manufacturing the highest quality inflatables in the industry. Our home inflatables use commercial grade vinyl on all the bounce and slide surfaces. In addition, they are assembled with up to quadruple heavy duty stitching.

Overall my experience was very satisfying. I would totally will recommend their product and service. Thank you Blastzone.
Verified Purchase
The set-up was very easy. My husband did it by himself and he said the bouncer inflated in about 3 minutes. We let it run for a little over an hour before the party to make sure there were no holes, then the kids used it for a couple hours. My husband said it took him 10 minutes to get it completely put away. I would highly recommend getting the 75' cord instead of the 25' cord. It actually started to rain at the party and my husband simply moved the bouncer to an area with lots of trees and the bouncer didn't ever get wet. It was nice to have that flexibility. We also chose a shipping upgrade to get it there before the party and the item was delivered on time and in good condition.
My son was so excited when we told him he got to keep the bouncer instead of returning it. And now all my siblings want to use it at their kids parties as well. I do recommend adult supervision at all times though as kids can be rough and there is a limit of 6 kids of 100lbs each in the bouncer. I think the heaviest child at the party was about 60lbs so it was not a problem at all for 6-10 year olds. Thank you Blast Zone for giving my son his best birthday ever!
Verified Purchase
We've had ours now for about a month and already used it 3 times with no issues. It is sturdy (not light to move), but still relatively easy to fold up and store. I expect years of use due to the quality workmanship.
Verified Purchase
The help I received on the phone before was curteous, kind and helpful. I trusted the reviews and I was comforted that the company will work with you if there is a problem. We are using it outside but purchased a heavy tarp online for underneath.
Verified Purchase
My 6 year old has been wanting a trampoline but due to cold weather can only be used when its warm enough outside. (Plus not as safe as i would like.) With the bouncer I feel safe and have been using it indoors for the past 2 months. Look forward to the warmer weather so we can use it outside.
Verified Purchase
The Inflatable has sturdy construction can support up to 600lbs or 6 bouncers and after 20 uses we have seen no discernible wear. With kids 4, 6 & 8, my wife and I are looking forward to many hours of jumping fun in their future!
Verified Purchase
Set up is easy enough, just pull it out, spread it out, and blow it up. Putting it away is just as simple. Every time we host a play date its the first thing the kids ask for! Thank you for such a wonderful bounce house!!
Verified Purchase
To say that I'm happy with the purchase would be an understatement. Shipping was fast, with confirmation and shipping details communicated clearly. Our 2 year old's birthday party was yesterday and the kids loved it. The size was comparable enough with ones we have rented and everyone had, dare is say - a blast! The quality is great. The surfaces are very durable it feels like it will last a very long time - not cheap or plastics but more like a canvas material. The blower is also much more solid than its picture may suggest. We also purchased the optional sandbags and while we didn't have to use them for the bouncer this time around, they did come in hand for holding down Halloween decorations this weekend.
Two weak points I noticed in other peoples reviews I'd like to comment on. I had read one reviewer mention that the straps on the sandbags were not that great and may come off over time. I can only imagine that Blastzone listened to this and changed the design because mine were very strong and well constructed. Similarly the grounding stakes on mine were very strong and I was able to push some into the ground with my feet and then finish them off with a rubber mallet. I saw another reviewer state that his broke, but perhaps the ground was excessively dry or had stones in. In which case I would suggest moving a few inches left or right to avoid the stones, or try wet tending the soil beforehand. Ours went in easily and came out just as easily. I would also note that the straps on the side of the bouncer that the grounding stakes go through were very durable and strong. I rarely take the time to post reviews, but always take the time to read them. In the case of the Big Old Bouncer though, it's just too good of a buy to not share the love.

The installation is very easy and took less than 5 minutes. My kids tested it on first day and just loved it. Later we used it during the B-day party and the other kiddos enjoyed it too. Everyone was very impressed by how big and durable this bouncy house is. They also thought that I have to spend a lot of money for it. So I gave them the website and told them to check how great of a purchase I made. Absolutely loved it. I would to introduce it to any of my friends. All the kids had an amazing time with this great quality product.
Verified Purchase
When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the material and solid craftsmanship of the stitching. The blower was also extremely powerful, which provides a supportive and resilient bounce surface for the kids. The blower was also much quieter than I expected, allowing nearby conversations to be drowned out by the jovial screams of the kids rather than drone of the blower.
While the kids love the large play surface, I am most happy with the ease of putting it up and taking it down. It literally takes just a few minutes to set up. Likewise, after it deflates, you can take it down, fold it up and put it back in the bag (with plenty of room to spare) in less than 5 minutes. I can put it up in the morning and take it down in the after with almost no effort.
It has been two weeks and I wish we had bought it years ago. Everyone in the neighborhood wants to stop by and play. It looks like it is going to be a great summer. Thanks Blast Zone!
Only users who bought product can write review.
Because each inflatable is engineered to a specific pressure and blower, we only sell the kits including the blower.

The Big 'Ol Bouncer can hold up to 6 kids at a time up to 100 lbs max. We don't have an age limit, but we do recommend that you always observe the rule for evenly matched players for safety reasons.
It is important that players in a Bounce House or other Inflatable Play Structure are evenly matched in size, age, development, and skillset to keep everyone safe.
Blast Zone Support
They are identical and they can both accommodate 6. We had increased the material strength when we launched the Big Ol Bouncer. At that time the Superstar had already been in circulation, rated for 5. They both use the same identical materials at this point, but the Label on the Superstar has not yet been updated to reflect 6 users, so we still state 5 officially.
Blast Zone Support
Ground stakes are included for outdoors. You will want sand bags to anchor inflatables indoors, and they attach to the same loop the stakes do.
Blast Zone Support
Laying a tarp underneath your inflatable is recommended to help protect your inflatable from both dirt and debris, but it is not a requirement for use and does not come included with this inflatable.
You can use your inflatable without a tarp, simply set it up in a patch of clean, grass that is clear of any sticks, rocks or debris.
I hope that helps!
Blast Zone Support
The 100 lb weight limit is the maximum weight per person.
Blast Zone Support
No, getting this inflatable wet could damage it. This item is not designed for use with water.
Blast Zone Support
No problem hosing it. Just try not to leave any standing water that could seep inside, and make sure to store it dry. You can also use a wet towel.
Blast Zone Support
The maximum is 6 players simultaneously, with a maximum weight-per-user of 100 lbs. It could be difficult to limit a party of 15 to 6 players simultaneously, but it could be done.
However, you will not find any inflatables that accommodate 15 players simultaneously, if that is the question.

The Big Ol' Bouncer comes with the 680 watt blower for 12 x 12 support, so that's the one you'll want for a replacement.
You can find that blower for sale on our website here: http://www.blastzone.com/680w-blower-for-residential-bounce-houses-up-to-12x12

The Big Ol Bouncer is a lot like the Magic Castle Ultra 12. Boast inflatables boast a 12 foot bounce platform, room for 6 kids at a time, and can hold up to 100 lbs per user, 600 lbs total.
What makes these two items different, other than the color, is the design. The Big Ol Bouncer is shorter, so it can be used under most ceilings, while the Magic Ultra 12 is a bit taller, and has a wider slide.
Blast Zone Support
Our home use inflatables are rated at 100 Lbs per user, so that's really the guideline to use. If they like bouncers, and are within this range, bounce away. We seem to notice more people buying watersides for older kids.
Blast Zone Support
While we don't have any home-use inflatables that can accommodate users over 100 lbs, any of our commercial grade inflatables can support both children and adults up to 200 lbs!
You can view our entire selection of commercial grade inflatables here: https://www.blastzone.com/commercial/all-commercial-inflatables

Anytime you are setting your inflatable up in an area where you cannot use the included anchoring stakes, you can always anchor your inflatable with weight. We typically recommend at least 100 lbs of weight for anchoring, divided up evenly at each corner.
We offer sandbags which you can fill with sand as an alternative to ground stakes. You can find our sandbags for weighted anchoring here: http://www.blastzone.com/sand-bags-for-indoor-use
Blast Zone Support
You may use the Big Ol Bouncer inside, provided you have the required space, and are able to anchor it. For inside use, we recommend the sand bag anchor option to keep it from sliding. For the dimensions, please account for the blower tube and blower extending approximately 6' out the back.
Blast Zone Support
6 Kids at a time. For any other detailed specs you might need, please check the specs tab on any product page.
Blast Zone Support
The inflated height is approximately 4'5" from the top of the bounce floor to the highest point. We do not have a published maximum height, but the top is open.
Blast Zone Support
That is the correct; the top is 7' high at the arch.
Blast Zone Support
The Big Ol Bouncer is designed for children weighing up to 100 lbs each. It is suitable for 10-year-olds as long as they are 100 lbs or less.
This particular inflatable can support up to 6 kids at a time as long as they are all 100 lbs or less.
It is recommended to consider the input or interests of the 10+ kids in question. We find that while some "big kids" love the Big Ol Bouncer, some do prefer inflatables with more interactive features, like slides. Ultimately this does depend on the individual.
Blast Zone Support
We definitely recommend using the sand bags in this situation, so the product does't slide. This keeps kids safer, keeps the product from potentially coming unhooked from the blower, and keeps the bottom from rubbing and surface wear.
Hope This Helps!

Blast Zone Home Inflatables currently include a 1-year warranty and 2-year promise. Materials vary by component, and the "thickness" is not a common specification, as thickness of material has less to do with strength and durability than the quality of the mesh/weave in the material. The materials are all a mesh weave, coated in vinyl, and the vinyl itself provides little structural integrity. Think of pool toys, which, without the inner weave, have little strength and burst easily. However, backpack material is a strong weave and is typically very durable. Combine the two, and the backpack material portion is the most important. This is analogous to inflatable materials.
With that said, all Blast Zone impact components (Bounce Floors, Slides, Climbing Walls, etc) are Commercial Vinyl, and non-impact components are premium polyester oxford. Independent lab testing of a number of brands materials resulted in Blast Zone home materials testing at an average of 2x and up to 2.5x the tearing strength of other brands, and the commercial vinyl at up to 10.3x the strength of other brands using residential oxford in impact areas, which is a common practice.
Please note this product is for home use. If you are in need of a commercial inflatable, please see our commercial category, or visit blastzonecommercial.com.

As long as the astroturf deck is sufficiently padded and the inflatable is properly anchored with sandbags, that should be fine. Please note that inflatables should not be set up on hard surfaces and must be anchored at all times while in use.
The Big Ol Bouncer would be an excellent choice! This item measures in at approximately 15' D x 12' W x 7' H, and you'll want an additional 5' to 6' in the back to accommodate the length of the air tube and blower. For recommendations based on the available space, measure your deck and then give us a call at 877-889-4685. We'd be happy to help!
Blast Zone Support
You'll need to dry this inflatable thoroughly and store it after each use. Leaving it outside overnight may seem easier, but leaving the inflatable exposed to the elements while it's not in use may harm your inflatable. Leaving it outside can make it vulnerable to damages or mildew from overnight moisture.
Blast Zone Support
This is an admin-managed module, and it appears your question was directed to previous buyers. But we can tell you it is worth it only if you need to use the inflatable more than 25' form a power source. We are not allowed to recommend extension cords because the UL testing is only done based on the installed cord. But we can say that amperage is lost using normal extension cords, so when extension cords are used they must be the heavy-duty, contractor grade style.
Hope this helps!

It is completely normal to hear air hissing out of the inflatables, and is referenced on the label and manual. This is required for operation, so no worries.
Dear Marc,
In a nutshell, the 2-Year Promise provides an option to buy a very heavily discounted replacement product for up to 2 years after the date of purchase. The full warranty applies for the standard warranty period. Between the period the warranty expires and 2 years, a replacement may be purchased for 50% off the price listed at www.BlastZone.com. The product will ship without the blower.
We can provide full details, or they may viewed at BlastZone.com. The full warranty excludes issues such as mildew, user damage, etc, but the 2-Year Promise does not.

There are embed links on our youtube channel. However the implication is that you are renting this item out, and it should be noted that this is a home-use item, not a commercial-grade item. Please see our commercial category for rental-grade inflatables.

We always recommend the inflatable be stored dry, especially in humid climates. Moisture can lead to mildew, which can have a negative affect on the inflatable.
Blast Zone Support
The Big Ol Bouncer supports 100 Lbs Per User, 600 Lbs total.

You only NEED sand bags if you are using the inflatable frequently indoors. They never hurt to add outdoors, but we provide ground stakes, which are sufficient if used properly. We actually have twice the number of ASTM required anchor loops on our inflatables.
Blast Zone Support
It folds to about the size of a large sleeping bag.

The average number of job applicants per vacancy has dropped in the past year, according to the latest Labour Market Outlook from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
The CIPD report concludes that demand for labour remains robust but that labour supply is failing to keep pace. It notes that the abrupt fall in the flow of EU nationals into the UK has coincided with a drop in the quantity and suitability of job applicants being reported by employers.
According to Government data, the number of EU-born workers in the UK increased by 7,000 between Q1 2017 and Q1 2018, compared with an increase of 148,000 from Q1 2016 to Q1 2017.
The survey of 2,001 employers, conducted by the CIPD and The Adecco Group, has found that two in five employers (40%) report that it has become more difficult to fill vacancies over the past 12 months, owing to a combination of fewer applicants and less suitable applicants.
Other key findings include:
- Employers received an average of 20 applicants for the last low-skilled vacancy they tried to fill, down from 24 in 2017;
- Employers received an average of ten applicants for their last medium-skill vacancy, down from 19 in 2017;
- There were an average of six applicants for high-skilled vacancies, down from eight applicants in 2017.
- Among employers who currently have vacancies, 66% say at least some of their vacancies are proving hard to fill, higher than in Spring 2017 (56%).
The tightening labour market is boosting earnings of some key staff and new starters, although pay rises are set to stick at 2% for most workers. Half of organisations (53%) that have experienced increased difficulty recruiting staff during the past 12 months have increased starting salaries in response.
Alex Fleming, country head and president of staffing and solutions, The Adecco Group UK and Ireland, said: "With Brexit looming we're seeing a talent shortage and a more competitive marketplace. In this candidate-short landscape the pressure is on employers to not only offer an attractive salary, but also additional benefits … Retention also remains key; it is imperative that employers develop and promote their staff so they don't fall short and feel the impact of the dwindling growth of the UK's talent pool."

When seeking treatment for headaches, start with your primary care provider.
Nearly everyone has suffered from a headache. This article discusses several types of headache, how they are diagnosed and treated.
One theory says that migraine pain occurs because of waves of activity by groups of excitable brain cells, which trigger chemicals, such as serotonin to constrict blood vessels.
This often severe, throbbing type of headache is different from other types of headaches in that symptoms other than pain occur with the headache. Nausea and vomiting, lightheadedness, sensitivity to light (photophobia), and other visual disturbances are common migraine symptoms.

In Powder Game, air is an unusual tool.
Air as an element
Air is an unusual element, because it simply exists everywhere, where no other element is located. Because of this, it doesn't move like other elements and can not collide with them. The effect when air is moved is called wind. This might be caused by pressure gradients, by tools like wind, by a fan, or by a chemical reaction, usually because of fire or an explosion. Air has no color and is usually displayed black, but its pressure can be visualized for example with BG-air, BG-line, BG-gray, or BG-mesh.
Air pressure rises when an element burns (see flammability). The element gas does not affect air pressure, unless it burns. A pressure gradient can create wind. Air pressure is simulated in Powder Game in 4x4 pixels. Air pressure cannot pass through block.
Pressure is more or less measured by comparison of the rest of the screen. If the player separates the screen into two halves by a wall of block, then adds a large amount of air in one half, the unaffected half's pressure drops. The opposite happens when the pressure is manually lowered in one half.
The pressure of air is visualized on BG-air and BG-line in green, blue, or black. Green represents an area with high air pressure. Black represents an area with medium air pressure. Blue represents an area with low air pressure. In BG-gray, pressure acts the same, except it is represented by shades of gray.
In BG-mesh, high pressure is visualized with a rippling green and orange grid, while low pressure is displayed with a turquoise grid. The grid is absent in neutral pressure.
Air as a tool
When the tool Air is right clicked, it will create low air pressure and elements fly toward it. When the tool Air is left clicked, it will create high air pressure, and elements will fly away from it. The strength of the air is determined by pen-s. Air is the only thing in Powder Game that has a different effect with right and left click.

PORTLAND — Erika Rhile, a science teacher at Cheverus High School, recently received certification as a Maine Master Naturalist.
In addition to her teaching position at Cheverus, Rhile works as a research biologist for the University of Pennsylvania.
Her Maine Master Naturalist certification has given her the tools to expand her classroom curriculum into a more diverse and creative experience and to extend her classroom beyond the Cheverus campus.
As a part of her classes and in her role as advisor to the school's outing club, Rhile takes Cheverus students to explore Acadia National Park and hike in the White Mountains, among other things.
PORTLAND — Scott Potter, a senior at Cheverus High school, was recently awarded the rank of Eagle Scout by the Boy Scouts of America.
At Cheverus, Potter served as the class treasurer during his sophomore year, as a member of the Math Team and a charter member of its Investment Club. He has been a member of the ski team, is a National Merit Semifinalist and received the Cheverus Silver Award in Latin and English.
For his Eagle Scout project, he constructed a sand boat play area at Auburn's Learning Park. He designed and ran the project, soliciting donations, products, cash, labor and food for the crew in the approximate amount of $6,000.

My friend turned me on to this muffin recipe recently-- it was simple, easy to make, and delicious. Oh, and it's basically made of just protein, fruit, and spices. I made a few modifications to it, and thought I would share. Go on, now. Enjoy some guiltless muffins. (And for you pancake lovers, this recipe also makes a great pancake batter.)
Blueberry Protein Muffins
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup steel cut oats
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2+ tsp cinnamon (go wild)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 - 1 cup blueberries
- Blended Flax Seeds
*(For a sweeter version, add 1-2 tsp of agave nectar.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line cupcake pan with cup liners. Blend ingredients, then pour batter into cupcake pan approximately 3/4 full. Add 3-4 blueberries in each cup, and sprinkle with cinnamon and flax seed to your heart's desire. Bake for 15 minutes.
