Blake Shinn returns to happy hunting ground at Doomben with Charlie Boy
By Chris Roots
Running hot: Blake Shinn is hoping for more Brisbane success at the Doomben 10,000 meeting on Saturday.
After winning five races on the card at Doomben a fortnight ago, Blake Shinn is not getting too carried away about his chances of adding another group 1 when he returns to the track on Saturday.
Shinn rides three of his five winners from a fortnight ago, when he won the Doomben Cup on Pornichet and BTC Cup on Hot Snitzel. Another of his winners Charlie Boy steps up to group 1 level in the Doomben 10,000.
"I started the carnival up there very well and I want to keep it going, but things are a bit different for Charlie Boy this week," Shinn said. "Last time he had the good draw and right weight in the right race and got the job done. This time he is at weight-for-age, got an outside barrier, so there is as much against him as there was for him last time. We don't know how much confidence he took from that win because it had been a while since he had won and that could be a factor as well.
"He is a very talented horse but against the quality he is up against he will need a bit of luck. I don't think he is out of place at group 1 level but it is a tough ask."
Charlie Boy is on his way to the Stradbroke in a fortnight's time, where he will be better suited under handicap conditions. Shinn won't ride him in the Stradbroke as he is already committed to another from the Peter and Paul Snowden stable in Hot Snitzel. "It is more the weight than anything else that made the choice for me," Shinn said.
He will continued the build up towards the Queensland Oaks and Derby with Gai Waterhouse's Bohemian Lily and Chris Waller-trained Sadler's Lake respectively on Saturday, which means he has rides for the three biggest public yards in Sydney.
"When you are going to the races and riding for those stables, you are confident. It is something I have worked hard to get and I understand there is a responsibility and expectation," Shinn said. "Sadler's Lake is also drawn poorly [in the Grand Prix] but he won well last time. It might be a bit more difficult this time for him from the draw. I went to the front last time but he has the talent to be ridden back and win. I have a lot of time for Bohemian Lily and she keeps improving. She is going to peak next week for the Oaks.
"They are are both on track for the Oaks and the Derby. I haven't won an Oaks or Derby before and it is something I would really like to do and these are good chances."
Shinn's best ride might be his last on Saturday as he rides Rekindled Interest in the Fred Best Classic. "He is one I didn't win on at the last meeting but his run was great. He is a serious horse going towards the Queensland Guineas. He is drawn poorly also, it is my lot for the day, but if he gets a fair crack at them look out," Shinn said.
Shinn continued to rack up the winners in Sydney booting home Istanbul for Danny Williams at Randwick on Wednesday, but a winning double to premiership leader James McDonald means he is eight wins back. "It is still something I would like to win [the Sydney premiership] but for the next couple of weeks Brisbane is the focus," he said.

IDIOT TALK (Bakabaka talk)
Tue. Mar. 27, 2007
The PASMO was delivered which I ordered before.
I transfered the commuter pass of mine into PASMO at the first time to a station since I got it. It can do with SUICA but it was still convenient.
However, PASSNET is nonrepayable and nonchargable into PASMO. I can't believe it. Plus auto charging is convenient but there are few kinds of credit cards. I wanted to get a credit card so I did but you don't usually want to get a new one. It's bad, I'm afraid.
I'd like to change the topic into tha game on last Saturday. Maki scored a goal. That was good, very good. I was surprised because Maki and Hanyu played the game Nabisuko Cup of the next day's. Chiba's players were very energetic!!
Thu. Mar. 22, 2007
Is That MAKI?
MAKI was elected as Japanese Soccer National Team again. Some newspapers said that he was elected because he had played well in the last game. Was it well that he didn't get any goals but other team mates did many? Do you forget that you were one of the best Japanese players who got many points in the first half of last year.
I'm afraid that he intended to play with getting no goals recently. Don't become like YANAGISAWA who was one of the former Japanese Soccer National Team players. I could say that he was also one of good players but I disliked him because he didn't shoot even when he could. I think now he might decide not to shoot because we couldn't understand that there were a lot of tasks for FWs which was not to get goals. However, even if so, if you can get a goal, YOU should get a gloal, I hope.
I think that MAKI shouldn't be elected even if I'm a JEF supporter, however, since he was elected, he should do his best job.

NADESHIKO Japan and La La Port Yokohama
NADESHIKO Japan, which is the name for Japanese Women's National Soccer Team, eventually won the play-offs against Mexico. Very good! I've prefered it to the ohter categories because they showed their best every time I watched, especially running.
So anyway, I'll be able to have watched it in the Women's World Cup 2007 in China.
By the way, I went to a mall La La Port Yokohama yesterday. That an A|X (Armani Exchange) store was there moved me to go there, which has been one of my favorite name brands for clothing and had never been in Japan until last Thursday, when the mall opened. I saw that the store had a lot of same stuff of stores in America such as the layout, the rate of items for men and women and the counter. The prices were a little higher than in America but still moderate for me. That's good. I thought I would come often there.
As for the mall, I liked many things there such that it had a lot of stores, which were located like malls in America, that you could enjoy watching quite a lot of clothes and many other things, that you could park cars cheaper than usual in Japan even if you parked for a long time. I wondered if the bookstore and the store for appliance had more room.
a Nightmare for 4 minutes
It was a nightmare, the four-minute period. JEF had conceded no less than three goals for no more than four minutes in the game yesterday. How could they do it?
JEF is at the very bottom right now. It's too early to refer the rankings anyway. I need a win as early as possible.

The J-League began
Began again in this year J-League.
I'm afraid for JEF this year. If a team does not go well, like Cerezo of last year or Verdy of two years ago, the team will be demoted easily. When JEF was naturally lower, JEF could bring most of her ability at the last period of the season. However, because it hasn't occured for many seasons, she might be easily demoted if ever the thought it can't be true remains in her mind.
And besise JEF lost the first game. I'm very afraid for ...

the Road Construction in the Financial Year End
You can feel the Fiscal Year End when you see road constructions.
That's weird! They are done because the country think she won't be able to spend as mush money as the budget she decided before, aren't they? If they aren't needed, she should not be done.
If she thinks she needs them, she must decide schedule to do so. That's also better for the contract companies.

recuperated
I recuperated from a cold at last.
Though I had had a terrible headache because of sleeping too much, it was also recuperated after I worked. My head seems to prefer working to sleeping ;-p

Q: mysql backup and restore from ib_logfile failure Here's the case:
After computer being hacked, we are in a rush to backup all data out to other computer.
As a result, the mysql databases are not backup out as sql statement.
What we have done is backup out all the physical files/folders in the C drive to new computer.
Eg:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\data
In this case, all data for mysql are inside unreadable file.
Inside data folder consist of files like ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, but not ib_data1
All database's table structure format are inside each respective folder. (Some folder have .frm, .opt) (some other folder have .frm, .myd, .myi)
How can I retrieve back the data from the database in a new computer?
I tried to install the same mysql version(4.1) at new computer, then replace all backup files inside data folder into this mysql in new computer. Then restart mysql service.
When I restart, it fail: Could not start mysql service on local computer. error 1067: process terminated unexpectedly.
Error log showing:
InnoDB: The first specified data file .\ibdata1 did not exist:
InnoDB: a new database to be created!
090930 10:24:49  InnoDB: Setting file .\ibdata1 size to 10 MB
InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
InnoDB: Error: log file .\ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 87031808 bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 25165824 bytes!
090930 10:24:49 [ERROR] Can't init databases
090930 10:24:49 [ERROR] Aborting

090930 10:24:49 [Note] C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin\mysqld-nt: Shutdown complete

A: you need to look at the mysql.err log in the data folder to see what's wrong.
did the mysql service start properly when you first installed it?
looks like you're on windows, so i'm going to guess that you moved the files instead of copying them. when you move files in windows, they retain their permissions. when you copy, they inherit the permissions from the folder. so check to make sure they have the right permissions.

A: your error log indicates that your innodb configuration does not match your innodb files. you need to look at the configuration file on your old server to figure out where mysql was configured to store your innodb files. then go find those files and copy them to the new server. you should also copy the innodb configuration settings exactly from the old server and apply them to the new server.

A: Sounds like your innodb_log_file_size in my.ini was not the same as before.
Have a look a the ib_logfile0 filesize in the data folder and if it's 102,400KB it should be:
innodb_log_file_size=100M
Yours looks like it should be:
innodb_log_file_size=83M
(set to 24M now)
I've had this issue when someone used the installer to "repair" a mysql installation.
Have Fun.

Pete Saunders often refers to himself as a musical Swiss Army Knife. As a bandleader, musician, vocalist, arranger and music librarian for Hank Lane Music, it's easy to see why. Pete is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who plays guitar, electric bass, keyboards and drums. He even plays the accordion, which he began playing when he was just 5 years old. By the time he was 12, he had switched to guitar and began playing in school groups.
A graduate of Hofstra University, Pete received a BS in Music Theory & Composition. He was an assistant choral director of the Hofstra University Chorus and was the recipient of a Dorothy B. Hoag Scholarship. A professional bandleader and musician for the last 26 years, Pete joined Hank Lane Music more than 10 years ago. As the company's music librarian, he has a very important job beyond being a musician at Hank Lane. Pete reviews every client's list of musical requests for each of the 15 different Hank Lane dance bands, plus the Classical and Jazz ensembles. In the library he oversees a collection of 10,000 songs and sheet music. Finding music for unusual client requests can often be a challenge, as is ultimately getting all of this information to the band or musician who needs it. If sheet music is not readily available, Pete often writes the musical arrangement himself by ear after listening to it.
Over the past few years, Pete has transcribed guitar and vocal music for several publishers, including Warner Brothers, and for such artists as Jon Bon Jovi, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen.
Thank you SO MUCH for your work with us and Pete for our wedding. I'm sure you are aware but the Pete Saunders Band is absolutely amazing!!! We had very high expectations and were still totally blown away. Guests still cannot stop raving about how great they were and I can't tell you how many people have said "I've never been to a wedding where literally every guest was dancing!" Their work made an already terrific wedding just so special. I will of course write a note to them and leave a rave review but just wanted to let you know as well.
I'm back in DC catching up and still glowing about the wedding! I think we all felt it was a wonderful and special evening and Pete Saunders and the band (both musicians and singers) set the tone from the very beginning. They did a beautiful job right from before the ceremony on. They are all superb at what they do, they gauged the crowd beautifully, and the song selection and pacing were perfect. Cat and Mike felt truly celebrated by the music and I danced all night long! In fact, I've had dozens of compliments about the wedding so far and every single person has mentioned the music and said it was the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. Many many thanks for all you did to help make it such a success!
Just wanted to thank you again for doing such an amazing job last night. Everyone can't stop talking about how great the music was. I especially wanted to thank you for all the help with the song and for making me feel at ease earlier this week. I watched a video of the song and can't get over how perfectly you all backed me up. You are awesome.
Hank Lane should be your only Band that you book! They're the best sounding, live band out there - and Pete Saunders band is one of the best, and nicest ones around!


Camera IconReece shares are subdued amid a softer housing market, while new costs kept a lid on net profit.
New revenue streams are flowing at Reece Limited as the plumbing supplier's US and New Zealand acquisitions lift sales to the top end of guidance.
But the company's share price was subdued on Thursday following softer Australian housing market data, while new costs kept a lid on net profit.
Australia's largest bathroom supplies business doubled its revenue for the six months to December 31 to $2.72 billion while integrating its $1.91 billion MORSCO purchase in the US, and bedding down Edward Gibbons and Zip Plumbing assets in NZ.
The company said $30 million in acquisition costs and a softening property market in Australia weighed net profit down 7.6 per cent to $97.7 million for the half.
Minus the new purchases, net profit rose 20 per cent to $127 million.
Reece's total branch network in Australia and New Zealand was 635 outlets for the half, an increase of 20 outlets, while the US network added two outlets to make it 173.
It said MORSCO was performing in line with expectations but a property slump in Australia had proved a headwind.
"We are seeing more moderate growth in the residential building market in Australia, while non-residential commencements remain strong," Managing director Peter Wilson said.
"Business momentum in the US continues, with construction and investment in infrastructure returning to long-term averages."
Reece's first half results followed news Australian home loans rose at their slowest monthly pace in more than four years in January, with the annual rate the weakest on record, as credit tightening by banks and a sharp fall in housing prices turn off demand.
Shares in Reece were trading 2.17 per cent lower at $10.37 at 1510 AEDT, down 18.3 per cent from an historic peak of $12.70 in September.
The company will pay a fully franked interim dividend of 6.0 cents per share, unchanged from a year ago.

Leading crypto exchange Binance is adding support for credit card crypto purchases for some cryptos, via its partnership with payment processor Simplex.
Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance is adding support for credit card crypto purchases through its partnership with payment processor Simplex, according to a press release shared with Cointelegraph Jan. 31.
Zhao continued explaining that "the crypto industry is still in its early stages and most of the world's money is still in fiat," which, according to him, is the reason why fiat gateways are important for the growth of the ecosystem.
According to the press release, Binance users will be able to use Visa and MasterCard cards to purchase Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Ripple (XRP).
Binance is currently the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by adjusted daily trade volumes, according to CoinMarketCap. Over the past 24 hours to press time, the exchange saw about $588 million in trades.
Last year, Cointelegraph itself also partnered with Simplex to enable credit card purchases of BTC, ETH and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Last week, Binance launched its own over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks for larger transactions. The new offering, dubbed Binance OTC, offers services geared to users performing trades worth at least 20 BTC (about $68,800 to press time).
Following the hack of New Zealand exchange Cryptopia last week, Zhao announced that Binance had frozen some of the tokens sent to its wallet by the alleged hacker. Analysis from blockchain infrastructure firm Elementus states that as much as $16 million worth of ETH and ERC20 tokens were stolen in the recent hack, plus additional funds reportedly even more recently siphoned off.

Sens owner calls for 6,000 fans, backtracks
Ottawa Senators owner calls for 6,000 fans, backtracks
Greg WyshynskiESPN
Greg Wyshynski is ESPN's senior NHL writer.
Hours after announcing plans to have 6,000 fans at home games, Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk reversed course on Tuesday as Ontario declared a second provincial emergency due to COVID-19.
"I've submitted a robust public safety plan that will allow 6,000 fans in the Canadian Tire Centre that includes health protocols ranging from proper physical distancing, rapid testing and mask-wearing at all times inside the arena," Menlyk said in a since-deleted tweet.
That proclamation landed just as the Ontario government issued a stay-at-home order beginning on Jan. 14 "in response to a doubling in COVID-19 cases over the past two weeks, the real and looming threat of the collapse of the province's hospital system and alarming risks posed to long-term care homes as a result of high COVID-19 transmission rates."
Three hours after his initial statement, Melynk published a clarification on his personal website. While it didn't specifically mention the "6,000 fan" plan, it stated that the Ottawa Senators "are committed to continuing the development of a plan that allows fans to safely enjoy NHL hockey in-person -- but only when the time is right. That time is not now."
Melnyk said he will not attend opening night for the first time since he purchased the team in 2003.
Currently, the NHL has only three teams that have opened their arenas to fans for the 2020-21 season, which starts on Jan. 13. The Arizona Coyotes, Dallas Stars and Florida Panthers will all have limited capacity crowds at home games. Teams like the St. Louis Blues and Nashville Predators expect to have groups of first responders and family members in the arena for their first home games.

Sorry for last week's lack of updates. Life is hectic, but when is it not?
Come to think of it, it makes saying "screw it", throwing off responsibility, and setting out to wander the countryside look remarkably appealing.
:) I never quit, I just slow down from time to time!
Oh, I sort of see the Lloyd Alexander shining through here. He was bored of his life in a world without magic (boring life as a king), so he chose to write stories (go barding) to have some adventure. Sound accurate?
Certainly does! Plenty of parallels to play with here.
Fflewddur followed his heart's desire. A lucky man.
I love Fflewddur's facial expressions! Especially panel 4. :D. I also love how you pulled off the panel at the bottom showing him leaving the kingdom. It gets the point across so well!
Love the expressions, though I would have expected more visible surprise from the kids.
That last panel is so beautiful I can hear the bagpipe music.
Haha, that's true. The fairy tales never address all the boring stuff that comes with that happy-ever-after.
I sense excessive embellishment. I do not trust this 'bard'.
Embellishment there is, but the harp makes him trustworthy. It doesn't let him get away with anything.
My only basis for the Fflewddur was married or engaged theory comes from my presumption that an adult king would have marriage pretty high on his priority list (or at least his advisors' priority list) in order to ensure succession. As a wanderer, yeah, matching him with a gypsy makes a lot of sense, but there might have been some suitable planned match for him back in his kingdom. Or maybe he's wandering to escape that arranged match.
I would agree, except if you look at Gwydion's example, producing an heir doesn't seem to be high on his priority list either. But I'm up in the air about this, as according to the Mabinogion it would be the king's sister's child who would be next in line for the throne rather than a king's son himself, and while Lloyd obviously doesn't follow every detail of his inspirational material, it is true that Gwydion is Math's nephew, not his son. Nothing is ever mentioned about who is next in line if he goes.
Not that this really has anything to do with Fflewddur. I can imagine he probably gets a lot of flack from his advisors every time he goes back, about settling down and producing some heirs. It's /probably/ one of his reasons for leaving, even if there is no specific woman they have in mind. He seems likely to resent the nagging.
Who needs more when you've got Eilonwy?
LOL right? She's enough girl to run the entire pentalogy.
Realistically though there should be more women. Even in a warrior culture, all those people gotta come from somewhere.
Haha. Indeed. Even when she's absent from the page, she casts a long shadow.
I was always waiting for Fflewddur to find himself a squeeze. Can you imagine what it'd be like when Fflewddur tried to woo? You just know he's got it in him to be super smooth.
There was also always a part of me that wanted to see what Eilonwy would do with (or more likely, TO) a rival. I'm sure that at times she hated being the only girl in the group--but she might've hated NOT being the only girl, more.
I played with the idea of a romance for Fflewddur in one of my fan fictions once, after a spirited discussion at our author forum on the topic. The consensus was that he's too much of a gypsy to be very appealing to most women who'd expect to settle down, so I settled the problem by giving him a gypsy of his own. But that came with its own insurmountable obstacles. It was a fun creative exercise. If you're interested, it's the Fflewddur chapter of the story "One More Day", in the Lloyd Alexander section of FanFiction.Net.
As far as a rival for Eilonwy, that is an interesting question. I will have to think on that. I was writing something at one point about her time on Mona and I did create a friend for her, and started to explore how she'd respond to the typical manipulations and relationships of other girls. I never finished it though.
Lol geez that one is so old and I've developed so much more of the character and story since then. I'd have to rewrite the whole thing...of course part of the problem was that I really am rubbish at coming up with original plot. I can play within the established events with abandon, broadening, deepening, digging out every nuance. But if I have to come up with new story elements, forget it. This is why I do fan work and not original!
Oh no, he has to tie them up and restring them constantly. You'd think that would cure him of the habit, wouldn't you?
...where does he get replacement strings from?
Oookay, now you've all driven me on a research goose-chase to figure out what, exactly, medieval harps were strung with!
It appears that gut strings were widely used, but I hate to think of catgut in association with Fflewddur, given certain later events! The use of metal wire strings, including gold, seems to be credited to the Celtic countries, with the Welsh also throwing in horsehair.
In any case, as you've seen, I've given Fflewddur an actual harp case, which Lloyd never did. Any musician knows that a wooden instrument needs to be protected from the elements, so this was a practical addition to the story (and saved me from having to draw the harp all the time since it's a pain in the tookus). Therefore let us assume the good bard carries, in his harp case, an ample supply of extra string, and restocks whenever the opportunity arises. In a pinch, he can always snag a hair from a passing horse's tail.
*lol* sorry for the extra work.
Not at all, I love the research! That is part of the fun.
Catgut is usually actually from a sheep, for what it is worth.
I remember somebody bringing that up somewhere, but it might have been my facebook page.
Hmm. I... Don't know. I mean, he might be able to stock up before he leaves for his wandering tours since he goes back to his kingdom occasionally.
See above reply! Many uses for a harp case, and anyone who plays a portable stringed instrument carries extra string as a matter of course.
Fflewddur is so firmly a bard in my mind, I always forget he was a king!
There was a fair-haired man, little more than a boy, restocking breakfast cereal shelves.
"I'll be there, sir," said the young man, his pale blue eyes flashing.
"I know you will, Gwydion," said Mr. Nancy.
That's it – I didn't see him mentioned again later in the book, but I take him at his word that he was there. I hope he stayed safe.
I've never read any of Gaiman, so I'm not familiar with this scene, but that's fantastic!
So I decided to pick up these books again 20 years after reading them for the first time to see how they would hold up reading them as an adult (spoiler alert, they're still awesome) and I found this page through a random google search. You've done a phenomenal job with it! The illustrations are beautiful and you're really captured the essence of the story and added to it as appropriate. Directors/producers of the upcoming films would be well served to take a look before writing the screenplays. Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much! And yes, they do hold up well - every adult fan I know just keeps appreciating them more the older we get (and I'm not even going to say how old I am, lol). Glad you found me, and as far as the film...well, we can only hope!
When I was a kid I strongly identified with Taran when I first read these. Growing up on a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin will do that. Taran Wanderer is still one of my all-time favorite books.
Now though as a middle-age adult, it is so much easier to relate to Fflewddur, particularly with working a humdrum day job to support the enjoyable projects I love doing.
I have really enjoy your work. It adds another layer to an amazing set of books. Cheers!
It's one of the beauties of Alexander's work that in his broad archetypes, one can nearly always find oneself, somewhere. :) I definitely have Fflewddur-ish days myself!
I'm so glad you're enjoying this! Thank you for taking the time to comment! It's so rewarding to hear from other fans of the series.
Also Fflewddur does end up with the best "steed!"

Healthcare Industry News: U-Systems
Devices Radiology Venture Capital
News Release - June 27, 2007
U-Systems, Inc. Raises $16.5M in Additional Venture Funding
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--U-Systems, Inc., the primary developer and leader in automated breast ultrasound systems, today announced the successful completion of a $16.5 million funding round led by Siemens Venture Capital. Other investors in this financing include existing U-Systems investors Sycamore Venture Capital, MDS Capital, Radius Ventures, Kinetic Capital and United Investments and new investors President International Development Corporation, iD Innovation, China Investment & Development Company and TSC Bioventures.
"This funding will enable us to expand our sales and marketing organizations as well as continue our investment in product development and clinical investigations," said Joseph Pepper, President and CEO of U-Systems. "We are building on the momentum we achieved in 2006 with the introduction of our proprietary SomoVu(TM) Automated Breast Ultrasound System, expanding our presence in the breast imaging marketplace."
Breast ultrasound has long been established as the preferred modality for diagnostic breast imaging, especially in women with dense breasts. With the advent of the SomoVu(TM), the automated breast ultrasound system, radiologists now have standardized, reproducible, 3-D views of the breast enabling improved diagnostic confidence.
"We were pleased to see ongoing, broad insider support and strong demand from new investors," said managing partner Dr. Andrew Jay of Siemens Venture Capital. "The investment community clearly recognizes the company's potential and growing commercial presence. The clinical community is already seeing the SomoVu as an effective tool for women with dense breast tissue. This automated approach could prove useful in women with breast implants and, ultimately, the potential exists to apply the technology to ultrasound imaging of other parts of the anatomy."
U-Systems, Inc., the Automated Ultrasound Company, was founded in the Silicon Valley in 1997. U-Systems designs, manufactures and markets automated ultrasound systems to assist healthcare providers in the early detection of breast cancer. U-Systems has built a leadership position in automated breast ultrasound imaging systems and has incorporated proprietary hardware and software technology into its FDA-cleared and CE-Marked SomoVu(TM) Automated Breast Ultrasound System.

Manila, Philippines - Former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her son Diosdado 'Dato' Macapagal Arroyo, Camarines Sur Representative propose shorter working hours for public school teachers from the standard eight (8) to six (6) hours per day thru House Bill 2684.
"While teachers' pay has been increased by recent enactments of law, they still desire higher pay and shorter working hours. Their present work schedule has left them stressed out and exhausted much to the detriment of our students", the lawmakers added.
HB 2684 has been referred by plenary to the House Committee on Basic Education chaired by Rep. Kimi Cojuangco (5th District, Pangasinan) for proper consideration and action.


Home security is a universal issue that affects us all. Latest statistics reveal a shocking 32% rise in domestic burglaries across England and Wales! Considering burglaries are estimated to happen every 40 seconds in the UK, it seems that door locks are a homeowners first port of call to strengthen their property against potential intruders. But what about your windows? 30% of thieves gain access through an insecure window; proving that window locks are just as important. So how can you tell which window safety restrictors are up to the job?


A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the thirteenth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was released in the UK and US on 7 September 1987 by EMI and Columbia. It was the first Pink Floyd album since the departure of bass guitarist, singer, and songwriter Roger Waters in 1985.
Unlike many Pink Floyd albums, A Momentary Lapse of Reason is not a concept album and is instead a collection of songs written by guitarist David Gilmour, sometimes with outside songwriters. It followed Gilmour's decision to include material recorded for his third solo album on a new Pink Floyd album with drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright.
A Momentary Lapse of Reason was recorded primarily on Gilmour's converted houseboat, Astoria. Its production was marked by a legal dispute with Waters as to who owned the rights to the Pink Floyd name, an issue resolved several months after the album was released.
Though it received mixed reviews and was derided by Waters, A Momentary Lapse of Reason outsold Pink Floyd's previous album The Final Cut (1983), and was supported by a successful world tour. In the US, it has been certified quadruple platinum.


Which kilt is best for you?
Utility kilt or traditional? Standard or standard II? Acrylic or wool? If you are unsure of what kilt to get, take a look at this video. It will give you a brief and informative introduction to both our utility kilts and our traditional Scottish kilts. You will have all the knowledge you need to make the right decision, whether it is your 1st kilt or your 5th.
At UT Kilts we have several different utility kilts available. They are the Standard, Standard II, Deluxe, Ultimate, and the wild.
Standard and Standard II – They have two side cargo pockets only. The Standard II does differ from the Standard in that it does not have the side buckle straps and has 3 snaps on the front apron.
Deluxe - Like the standard, it has 2 side cargo pockets. It also has the side buckle straps, 2 back pockets, and 5 snaps on the front apron. These come with chrome hardware, with the except of the Deluxe blackout which has black.
Ultimate – This has all the features of the Deluxe except with a few changes. It does not have the side buckle straps and only has 3 snaps on the front apron (nonfunctional). This is because there is a hidden pocket under the front apron. It also has slash pockets above the cargo pockets as well as a comfort waist band built into the waist to allow expandability and adjustability to the kilt.
Wild – This kilt was built for the outdoors. It has removable pockets, slash pockets above the cargo pockets, plus clips and D-rings all around the kilt. This kilt uses a Velcro waist instead of the typical snap waist. The cargo pockets are large and expandable and can hold lots of different things.
UT Kilts carries two different kinds of these kilts. One is a wool fabric and the other is an acrylic fabric. There is no difference in the quality or how these are made. The only difference is the material that is used. Wool is the more traditional fabric to make a kilt from. However, for those that are on a budget or need something for activities you would not want to use wool in, the acrylic is a great option. They both come with the traditional 3 adjustable buckles and the fringed apron. Traditional kilts also need several different accessories like a sporran or kilt hose for them to work properly.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY (June 5, 2015) – On Thursday June 4, 2015, Capital District attorneys, chamber representatives, elected officials, and community members gathered at the grand opening, ribbon cutting ceremony for the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York's (LASNNY) newest location at 40 New Street, Saratoga Springs.
LASNNY, whose mission is to provide free civil legal services and education to low-income Upstate New Yorkers, dates back to 1923 when its predecessor organization – the Legal Aid Society of Albany – was originally incorporated. Since then, attorneys at LASNNY have sought to secure the basic needs, protect and preserve the legal rights, provide equal access to justice, and seek fairness and dignity for the clients they serve (www.lasnny.org).
The funding for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the new location has in large come from generous members of the legal community including individuals, firms, bar associations and bar association foundations. To date, the campaign has raised a total of $145,000 in donations, but as emphasized at the grand opening event, the campaign goal of $266,000 has not yet been met.
To keep the campaign propelling forward, Principal James T. Towne, Jr. and E. Stewart Jones, Jr., Partner at E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy and former President of the LASNNY Board of Directors, started a one-to-one match campaign – The E. Stewart Jones, Jr./James T. Towne, Jr. Capital Campaign Challenge – for up to $20,000. The two well-known, Capital District attorneys both expressed the driving factors behind their support of LASNNY and its new home in Saratoga.
"My father-in-law, who has passed away, Bill Byron, was the non-attorney President of the Legal Aid Society who got the Legal Aid Society its first home at 55 Columbia Street [in Albany]. So for our family to be allowed to participate in arranging for this facility is really a continuance that has been going on for 50 years. It means a great to deal to my wife and myself, her brothers and her family," said Mr. Towne.
With the opening of the new location, LASNNY's staff will have the resources and space to provide legal services more effectively and efficiently for the residents of Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties.
To learn more about LASNNY or to donate to the Capital Campaign Challenge, please visit www.lasnny.org.

It's the most wonderful magical time of the year! The international troupe of magicians known as The Illusionists are back on Broadway with their latest holiday engagement and a new cast. The Illusionists - Magic of the Holidays begins performances at the Neil Simon Theatre today and is scheduled to run through January 5, 2020.
This year's company includes "America's Got Talent" semi-finalists Dom Chambers and Eric Chien (aka "The Showman" and "The Manipulator," respectively), following their recent, impressive runs on the 14th season of the popular talent show, alongside "The Mentalist" Chris Cox, "The Trickster" Paul Dabek, "The Inventor" Kevin James, and "The Unforgettable" Enzo Weyne. There will also be an appearance by special guests VERBA Shadow Theatre (who also previously appeared on "America's Got Talent") at every performance.
Synopsis: "Back in New York by popular demand for a strictly limited run, this mind-blowing holiday spectacular showcases the jaw dropping talents of seven of the most incredible illusionists on earth. The Illusionists has shattered box office records across the globe and dazzles audiences of all ages with a powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage. This non-stop show is packed with thrilling and sophisticated magic of unprecedented proportions."
Having previously made their Broadway debut at the Marquis Theatre in 2014 with "Witness the Impossible," before returning to New York with "Live on Broadway" at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2015, "Turn of the Century" at the Palace Theatre in 2016, and the first edition of "Magic of the Holidays" at the Marquis Theatre in 2018, The Illusionists are certainly no strangers to the Great White Way. They have also entertained audiences in London's West End, as well as in cities across the United States and Canada, and have made a variety of televised appearances, including "Magic Castle," "The Royal Variety Performance," and "America's Got Talent."
The Illusionists - Magic of the Holidays is directed by Neil Dorward and produced on Broadway by Simon Painter, Tim Lawson, MagicSpace Entertainment, and Kilburn Live.

Every city has it's little secrets. Some are dark and sinister, some are just plain fabulous. After eight months in Madrid, I learned one of those neat little secrets that I put in the fabulous category just because it's downright ingenious.
One of the most iconic landmarks in Madrid is Plaza Cibeles. It's a roundabout on which stands the official City Hall building (a beautiful, white, building that looks like a cross between a fairy tale palace and a cathedral) and the Bank of Spain. In the middle of this round plaza sits Cibeles fountain. The fountain features the goddess Cybele, the Roman goddess of nature, in her chariot.
Every city has spectacular fountains, but this one also has a function. Remember how the Bank of Spain is one of the buildings that sits on Plaza Cibeles? Well, should the Bank of Spain every have a fire or should there be an attempted break and enter, the water in Cibeles fountain would drain completely. Where would it go? This is the ingenious part.
The water from Cibeles would flood the lower levels of the Bank of Spain building, the levels where the safes and the most valuable property (the money) is housed, thus saving it from fire and twarting any attempted theft.
Tomorrow, August 16, at the beginning of WYD, the fountain will be fully functional, to the relief of WYD pilgrims, and the spray from its jets will provide a cooling mist to those pilgrims standing close to it during the Opening Mass of WYD 2011.
