24# A moody mantis
DAY - Dawson Creek, BC, Canada - EXT
You survived?
Kind of…
I got fired.
WHAT!??
Rick landed his first job at seventeen years old. He worked as a tree planter for a reforestation company in British Columbia, Canada. His contract was for 6 weeks. He lasted two, quit, and blamed the company for improper training. Aware that he was the one at fault, he never processed it. Ten years went by, and Rick decided to try it again. He found a tree-planting contract and convinced his flatmate Manu to join him. They crammed their camping gear in Rick's old Golf and from Montreal, headed to the West coast.
New forestry regulations came to force, and they applied to both veterans and rookies. The trees had to be planted under specific instructions, or they would be deemed "failures". The veterans had a quality meeting, and the rookies, a week of training. Since he applied with previous planting experience, Rick was assigned to the veterans' camp. With nothing but his smile and two hands, Manu joined the rookie crew.
The rookies training week ended with a quality inspection. If they passed it, they would continue for the rest of the season. To make the cut, rookies had to meet their quality quotas. Manu planted lots of trees, but they were too low, too shallow, or too crooked. At the end of the week, his trees did not meet the specs. Manu did not make the cut.
Fired as a tree planter, Manu's cheerful attitude got him a second chance. He landed a job in the kitchen at the veterans' camp. He spoke openly about his layoff, and confirmed the rumor: Janice, the new quality inspector, was a spec Nazi. She lived and died by government regulations, even when they defied common sense. It annoyed everyone, but Janice was the authority. Along with Manu, she fired five other rookies in that first week. They called her Janice the mantis.
Rick was anxious. He was hired as a vet; a vet with one week of planting experience. He knew Janice would bust him eventually. Manu enjoyed torturing him. He showed him videos of mantis every day, emphasizing how they locked their forelegs around their prey and ate them alive, one bite at a time. Manu would creep in and whisper to his ear, "Janice the mantis". Rick did not show it, but he was terrified. He waited with the fear of being busted growing in his gut, helpless.
Janice finally showed up at the vet camp on a rainy Saturday morning. She was a petite, blond woman with a high-pitched voice. Janice spoke slowly, letting each words sink in with a threatening precision. The long silences made her audience uncomfortable. The next Monday, Janice would be inspecting the trees the veterans planted. Any block of land under 97% accuracy would be a failure. A failed block meant that neither the planters nor the company gets paid. Nobody wanted a failed block.
A storm lashed out over the weekend, causing mud slides around the camp. Consequently, the shipment of trees was delayed by two days. Planters huddled up inside the big tent, played games, drinking, and waiting for trees to arrive. The most popular game was "Flip cup". Flip cup is a drinking game, where two teams line up on each side of a table. The goal is to drink, flip the cup, and land it upside down on the table. The game goes on until the last player flips their cup. They played flip cups on Saturday night until they ran out of alcohol.
Sunday morning was a sad show in camp. It was cold, did not stop raining, and people did not leave their tent. Rick, Manu, and a few brave souls found refuge in the big top. They huddled around the wood stove, played board games, and smoked joints to soothe their migraine. In the evening, most planters went to bed early. The vibe was quiet and morose, until Janice stormed in.
She was wasted. Stumbling in the mud, she leaned against a table and shouted, "ATTENTION EVERYONE! WE'RE PLAYING FLIP CUP!". Janice swayed and pointed at planters in the big top, as her three coworkers started moving the tables. Slow to move, the planters were forced out of their seat to make room for the game. They arranged one long row of tables and put ten plastic cups on them. Nobody was in the mood, but Janice left them no choice. Out of fear or politeness, six planters lined up around the table. Rick, head down, joined the planter's team.
Janice, the mistress of ceremonies, filled everyone's cup with whisky.
Behind the wood stove, Manu was the only person not playing. As a kitchen staff, Janice had no authority over him. He clapped to everything she said and leaned back to watch the show. The game lasted five minutes. Janice's team, drunk already, did not flip a single cup. When they lost, Janice screamed, "TWO OUT OF THREE!!!". Nobody answered, except Manu who clapped and repeated, "YEAH!!! TWO OUT OF THREE!". Rick cursed, and Manu laughed.
Dragging their feet, they played a second game. Janice's team lost again. "THREE OUT OF FIVE!!!", she shouted. No one answered. Her grip over them was loosening. Janice hurried to fill their cup, but one planter stepped away from the table. Janice added in a strident, threatening tone, "I SAID…THREE…OUT…OF…FIVE!". Silence.
The situation was uncomfortable for all, but nobody moved. Then one planter retorted, "Fuck this! I'm going to bed!", and he flung his cup at Rick. In a reflex, Rick slapped the cup back. The cup rally invited a second one, a third one, and chaos ensued. Red plastic cups were flying in the air, spraying whisky and mudd around. Losing it, Janice climbed on the table and raged, "DA FUCK YA DOING! IT TOOK US 48 MINUTES TO SET UP THE GAME! THREE OUT OF FIVE OR YOU'RE ALL FIRED!!! PICK UP YOUR CUP, NOW!". A heavy silence followed.
High and slow, Manu picked up a cup at his feet. Rick's eyes widened with horror. Manu threw the cup high in the air. It flew in slow motion and hit Janice on the back of the head. She turned around, growled, and leapt towards Manu, tackling him midair. Her small body crashed against his, and both hit the ground with a loud bang.
Surprised, Manu started laughing. He yelled, "Help! The mantis is eating me!", laughing as he pushed her off. "YOU PIECE OF SHIT", she raged, swinging her arms at him. Two guys seized her by the shoulders and lifted her off Manu. She gave him one last kick as they dragged her out the tent. Lying in the dirt, Manu was holding his ribs, laughing.
The next morning, the boss heard about the incident and held an emergency meeting. They set a new policy separating planters and staff and resumed work when the trees arrived. The inspection was delayed for two weeks, and Janice the mantis was never seen in camp again.
Manu brushed off the incident with a joint. Rick did not get fired.

The prevalence of HIV in Rakai district is estimated at 12.7%, which is approximately double the national prevalence. It is well established that HIV and AIDS affect nutritional status and food security of populations. The aim of this study was to assess the food and nutrition security of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and the potential of banana nutrient enhancement to improve nutrient intake. A total of 173 PLHIV registered with Rakai Health Science Project were chosen and interviewed using structured questionnaires to determine the current contribution of banana to the household food security. Nutrient intake data were collected using Gibson's 24-hour recall method and food frequency questionnaires. Key informants' interviews with agricultural extension staff and focus group discussions with PLHIV and support group personnel were used to collect qualitative and quantitative information. Experiments were conducted to determine the suitability of banana as a food vehicle to boost the energy and nutrient intake of PLHIV. A product was made by blending banana flour with soybean flour and multi-nutrient fortificant premix. The formulation was reached using the Pearson's square method, with a target protein content of 15%. To pilot test the product, the nutrient-enhanced banana powder was distributed to15 PLHIV and data on acceptability and the contribution of the product to nutrient intake were assessed. It was found that the majority of PLHIV (88%) in Rakai district consumed banana at least 3 times a week. The baseline daily intake was found to be 1676.2 kcal, 0.8mg, 0.8 mg, 249.6 mcg, 259.4 mg and 12.9 mg for energy, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folate, calcium and iron respectively, which was below the recommended daily allowances (RDA) for PLHIV. The formulated banana product was found to supply 459.7 kcal and contained 15% protein. The product was well accepted by the PLHIV and its average level of consumption was 67 g per day. At this intake level of the product, study households intake of energy, vitamin B2, folate and calcium increased to 1732.89kcal, 1.09mg, 277.8mcg and 300.79mg respectively while iron and vitamin B1 intakes were not significantly different from the baseline values. It can be concluded that supplementation of diet of PLHIV in Rakai with nutrient-enhanced flour can raise nutrient intake of PLHIV to recommended levels for improved nutritional and health status.


Hamas' "March of Return" was cynically fueled by the powerful Nakba myth. Ironically, the original meaning of Nakba debunks the myth of a distinct Arab nation in the Land of Israel.
A new EU initiative illustrates once again the vast gulf between Europe's declared noble goals and its actions that fundamentally undermine any hope of peace between Israel and its neighbors.
Europe, obsessed with confronting the Jew-hatred of the Right-wing, ignores and even fosters the more lethal brand of Jew-hatred practiced by Islamists. It may come back to bite them.
Jews in the Diaspora are increasingly at odds with mainstream Israel in a replay of the timeless Jewish challenge of finding the right balance between particularism and universalism.
The free world refuses to learn from history, believing Iran's aggressive regime can be pacified. Appeasing Islamism is rooted in the illusion that evil can be reasoned with.
Living in Peace or Resting in Peace?
Trump cut $65 million in funding for UNRWA? PLO chief Abbas gives his people a new hope by purchasing a $50 million luxury jet, to boldly go where no one has gone before. Winning!
The Holocaust made it impossible for Europeans to associate with antisemitism. Instead, much of post-colonial Europe embraces Jew-hatred in the name of anti-Zionism and "human rights".

Roslindale War Memorial Design, 1920 scale model
Roslindale War Memorial design submitted for competition for the commission. Scale model by Frederick Warren Allen, Sculptor, 1920
"The day of the tin-hat soldier in granite or bronze is past. But the day of memorials is not past, and never will be. We shall always be eager to commemorate brave deeds, whether of peace or war. War rouses a whole people more than any other single thing does, and so results in a greater crop of memorials." In this newspaper article Allen laments the fact that committees choose the designs for memorials and that judges are often not "qualified to estimate their choices on artistic merit." "We ought to make these commissions composed of the best talent in sculpture and general art that we can find" and pay them a salary for their expertise in a choice that educates public taste.
"We have to remember that time is required to produce a great work of art. It is impossible for a conscientious artist, unless he happens to have a stroke of real genius, to make a monument that will be really worthy without much experimentation, much thinking, much changing." He gives as examples, Paul Bartlett's statue of Lafayette in Paris and St. Gaudens Shaw Memorial in Boston, which took 30 years to complete. "Comparatively few sculptors have the necessary income aside from their immediate work to enable them to take so much time … and so he accepts when the offer is made." The quality of the resulting memorials is compromised.
Related – On War Memorials: Allen's Theory and Opinions
Allen was "impressed and gratified" when the Roslindale committee said "We would like to get a war memorial for our town embodying symbolism rather than realism." And so he made two studies, one of which is shown here.
"I have embodied the idea of the Future, which is shrouded in mystery, accompanied by Peace on the one hand, protecting infant industry, and by Military Courage on the other, [ready to defend the country]. ….. Peace cannot exist without Military Courage. As the upholders of the Future the two march together." His desire was to leave our descendants with "an inheritance of beauty and spiritual power."
No more needs to be said about the symbolism and spiritual power in this sketch. He made that clear in his own words, but the artistic merit he would not discuss saying with his usual modesty, "No, I have nothing to say about my own work; if there is any good in it, let it speak for itself." One is reminded in his figural work of those sculptors he admired: his teacher Paul Wayland Bartlett, his Concord colleague Daniel Chester French and his teacher's mentor, Augustus St. Gaudens. Compare this model to Bartlett's pediment for the Library of Congress, French's "Death and the Sculptor" of the Milmore Memorial and St. Gaudens "Adams Memorial." The drapery of the shrouded central figure in this sketch is dramatic and unique, more modern in style than the classics, but demonstrating skill and individuality in its treatment.
Roslindale War Memorial by Albert Atkins, static and unemotional in comparison to the design by sculptor F.W.Allen for the same location.
Compositionally, the figure stands silent and tall at the center, towering over the other figures just as the future looms veiled before those who walk toward it. The lack of surface detail forms a quieting counterpoint to the comparative busyness of the flanking figures, which are classical, realistic and beautiful, very much in keeping with Allen's disciplined Beaux Arts style training. There is additional activity created by the details of the headpieces and decorative elements he chose. For example, the olive leaf crown is symbolic of peace and victory and is used, for example, in St. Gaudens Sherman Monument and in Allen's own war memorial to peace in Dedham, MA. The
The stances are indicative of their individual objectives and the gaze of the side figures is upward and forward looking into the anticipated future.
Compositional studies using three figures are found in the classical pediments with the tallest under the peak of the triangle. Anticipating the pediment he would soon create for the New York Courthouse, one can see how he might have used the ideas from this study in that masterpiece. There the central figure is larger than life, the symbol of Justice. On either side of her one finds a draped female figure with wings and a male semi-nude military figure backed by a circular shield. The same elements are here. Unifying the composition is the arching back plate high at the center (reference the Milmore Memorial) and grounded by a thick, two-stepped rectangular base with scalloped corners. The whole is compositionally sound and inspiring in its message. It's a shame that a much simpler and more static granite memorial by Albert Atkins was chosen.
A maquette for the work was modeled and a photo of it published along with an interview with M.J.Curl in the Herald abt 1920.

Matthew McConaughey Has Helped Design an Australian Eco-Friendly Tiny Cabin
© GettyImages
You'll Soon Be Able to Rent a Matthew McConaughey-Designed Eco-Cabin
Matt Shea
When Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey isn't teaching film at the University of Texas or owning soccer teams or just generally being alright-alright-alright at making movies, it turns out he's designing eco-cabins in Australia.
RELATED: A Guy Says Living in His Tiny House Is a 'Wonderful Change' to His Life
On November 20, McConaughey launched The Reserve, a Wild Turkey-sponsored collaboration between the actor and Australian twin brothers Chris and Cam Grant of the Australian tiny-home start-up, Unyoked.
The launch took place outside the Sydney Opera House, but come December this solar-powered tiny tot of a cabin will be on the New South Wales central coast, north of Sydney, and available to rent for as little as $150.
That's a pretty sweet price, particularly when you take into account some of the nifty features.
NO WI-FI, NO WORRIES
You read that correctly — you'll have to tether your internet in this humble abode (not that you'll necessarily be able to get any bars on the New South Wales central coast, to be honest).
But the point of The Reserve is to disconnect, and perhaps drink a lot of bourbon while you're at it. To that end, McConaughey has added a minibar, no doubt stocked with Wild Turkey (for whom he's a creative director). The 50-year-old film star has also supplied a range of vintage books and a stack of cassette tapes that can be played on the cabin's vintage radio system.
Indeed, McConaughey was involved in the whole process, from the conception right through to construction.
"We're all on the same wavelength," Chris Grant said in a media release on the project. "McConaughey was like one of the team during the whole design and build of The Reserve. He brought super creative energy and helped develop the philosophy behind the concept, while still helping people get unyoked, they'll be doing it in a distinctly McConaughey and Wild Turkey way."
"I've always been in awe of Australia's natural beauty," McConaughey added. "My hope now is that The Reserve will inspire Australians to reconnect with nature as an antidote to the frenetic pace of life."
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
The Grant brothers' Unyoked start-up has been a hit in Australia. The tiny cabins it rents on the web sit in the country on private land and are designed to help their occupants disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
The Reserve was released as part of Wild Turkey's 'With Thanks' initiative, that aims to get more people to reconnect with the natural wilderness while helping protect the environment.
The Grants met McConaughey during the filming of "Talk Turkey," Wild Turkey's global online series that looked at individuals who "have an uncompromising conviction to do what they do." The Grants were among just a handful of people selected to appear.
A percentage of the proceeds of The Reserve — along with $1 from every bottle of McConaughey's own Wild Turkey Longbranch brand sold in November and December — will be donated to Unyoked's charity partner, the Australian-based Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife.

Complex fractions are fractions in which the numerator or denominator contains a fraction. In Chapter 1 we simplified complex fractions like these:
3458x2xy63458x2xy6
In this section we will simplify complex rational expressions, which are rational expressions with rational expressions in the numerator or denominator.
Complex Rational Expression
A complex rational expression is a rational expression in which the numerator or denominator contains a rational expression.
Here are a few complex rational expressions:
4y−38y2−91x+1yxy−yx2x+64x−6−4x2−364y−38y2−91x+1yxy−yx2x+64x−6−4x2−36
Remember, we always exclude values that would make any denominator zero.
We will use two methods to simplify complex rational expressions.
We have already seen this complex rational expression earlier in this chapter.
6x2−7x+24x−82x2−8x+3x2−5x+66x2−7x+24x−82x2−8x+3x2−5x+6
We noted that fraction bars tell us to divide, so rewrote it as the division problem
(6x2−7x+24x−8)÷(2x2−8x+3x2−5x+6)(6x2−7x+24x−8)÷(2x2−8x+3x2−5x+6)
Then we multiplied the first rational expression by the reciprocal of the second, just like we do when we divide two fractions.
This is one method to simplify rational expressions. We write it as if we were dividing two fractions.
Simplify: 4y−38y2−9.4y−38y2−9.
4y−38y2−94y−38y2−9
Rewrite the complex fraction as division. 4y−3÷8y2−94y−3÷8y2−9
Rewrite as the product of first times the
reciprocal of the second. 4y−3·y2−984y−3·y2−98
Multiply. 4(y2−9)8(y−3)4(y2−9)8(y−3)
Factor to look for common factors. 4(y−3)(y+3)4·2(y−3)4(y−3)(y+3)4·2(y−3)
Remove common factors. 4(y−3)(y+3)4·2(y−3)4(y−3)(y+3)4·2(y−3)
Simplify. y+32y+32
Are there any value(s) of yy that should not be allowed? The simplified rational expression has just a constant in the denominator. But the original complex rational expression had denominators of y−3y−3 and y2−9y2−9. This expression would be undefined if y=3y=3 or y=−3y=−3.
Simplify: 2x2−13x+1.2x2−13x+1.
Try It 8.100
Simplify: 1x2−7x+122x−4.1x2−7x+122x−4.
Fraction bars act as grouping symbols. So to follow the Order of Operations, we simplify the numerator and denominator as much as possible before we can do the division.
Simplify: 13+1612−13.13+1612−13.
Simplify the numerator and denominator.
Find the LCD and add the fractions in the numerator.
Find the LCD and add the fractions in the denominator.
Simplify the numerator and denominator, again.
Rewrite the complex rational expression as a division problem.
Multiply the first times by the reciprocal of the second.
Simplify: 12+2356+112.12+2356+112.

Step 2. Rewrite the complex rational expression as a division problem.
Step 3. Divide the expressions.

Simplify the numerators.
Subtract the rational expressions in the numerator and add in the denominator.

Multiply the first times the reciprocal of the second.
Factor any expressions if possible.
Remove common factors.
Simplify: b−3bb+52b+5+1b−5.b−3bb+52b+5+1b−5.
Simplify: 1−3c+41c+4+c3.1−3c+41c+4+c3.
We "cleared" the fractions by multiplying by the LCD when we solved equations with fractions. We can use that strategy here to simplify complex rational expressions. We will multiply the numerator and denominator by LCD of all the rational expressions.
Let's look at the complex rational expression we simplified one way in Example 8.51. We will simplify it here by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the LCD. When we multiply by LCDLCDLCDLCD we are multiplying by 1, so the value stays the same.
The LCD of all the fractions in the whole expression is 6.
Clear the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by that LCD.
Distribute.
Simplify: 12+15110+15.12+15110+15.
Simplify: 14+3812−516.14+3812−516.

Simplify: 1x2−1y21x+1y.1x2−1y21x+1y.
Simplify a complex rational expression by using the LCD.
Step 1. Find the LCD of all fractions in the complex rational expression.
Step 2. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the LCD.
Step 3. Simplify the expression.
Be sure to start by factoring all the denominators so you can find the LCD.
Simplify: 2x+64x−6−4x2−36.2x+64x−6−4x2−36.
Find the LCD of all fractions in the complex rational expression. The LCD is (x+6)(x−6)(x+6)(x−6).
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the LCD.
Simplify the expression.
Distribute in the denominator.
To simplify the denominator, distribute and combine like terms.
Notice that there are no more factors common to the numerator and denominator.
Simplify: 3x+25x−2−3x2−4.3x+25x−2−3x2−4.
Simplify: 2x−7−1x+76x+7−1x2−49.2x−7−1x+76x+7−1x2−49.
Simplify: 4m2−7m+123m−3−2m−4.4m2−7m+123m−3−2m−4.
Find the LCD of all fractions in the complex rational expression. The LCD is (m−3)(m−4)(m−3)(m−4).
Combine like terms.
Simplify: 3x2+7x+104x+2+1x+5.3x2+7x+104x+2+1x+5.
Simplify: 4y+5+2y+63yy2+11y+30.4y+5+2y+63yy2+11y+30.
Simplify: yy+11+1y−1.yy+11+1y−1.
Find the LCD of all fractions in the complex rational expression.
The LCD is (y+1)(y−1)(y+1)(y−1).
Distribute in the denominator and simplify.
Simplify the denominator, and leave the numerator factored.
Factor the denominator, and remove factors common with the numerator.

Do I have to replace the whole S-Tine when my points are wore out?
No the points are replaced without replacing the S-Tines.
Can I use both sides of the S-Tines shanks?
Yes the S-Tines shanks are reversible. So you turn them 180 degrees to get more wear out of them.
What is the capacity of the spreader hopper?
The spreader hopper is 2 cu. Ft. (15 gallons) (100 lbs. maximum capacity weight).
Is this Quick Hitch compatible?
No this unit will not work with a Quick Hitch.
Why are my tines breaking?
Turning in the ground will cause the tines to break or bend.
How much weight can I add to my unit?
The AR2596 can take 2,220 lbs. The AR2510 can take 2,960 lbs.
Why is my clutch burning up?
You have something caught in the roller. Your ground speed may be too fast, slow down your ground speed.
Why are my tines bending?
Check your shear bolt, it needs to be the recommended grade 5 bolt.
I have bent some of my spikes, can I replace them?
Yes you can grind off the old and weld a new spike on.
How much weight can be added to the frame?
You can add up to 600 lbs.
Can I move other thing other than Stumps?
Yes you can move rock or other landscape material.
What sort of cutting knives are available?
What is needed to set my FDR series mower for mulching?
A set of mulching blades, no other attachments or equipment is required.
What do I need to replace my gauge wheel assembly air tire with a solid tire?
You will need the solid rubber tire (814-493C), two gauge wheel spacers (310-329D) and one spacer tube (310-328D) per gauge wheel assembly.
What could be causing the hub on my spindles to break?
Impact damage with foreign objects or the ground can cause the spindle housing/hub to break or blow apart.
What can cause my rotor to be out of balance?
Broken or missing knives. Make sure the replacement knifes are the same length as the others on the mower. This will keep the rotor rotation balanced.
What allows my cut material to be dispersed more evenly?
The reverse rotor rotation allows the unit to disperse material more evenly by bringing the cut material up and over. While the baffles inside the deck prevent clumping of material to ensure an even distribution.
My lower 3-point arms will not attach to the lower hitch points, how can I make it work?
The lower hitch points are designed to be adjustable. They adjust in and out for many tractor configurations. There are 2 bolts that hold the hitch plates in place, on is solid while the other one allows the hitch plates to pivot up and down for easier attachment.
How do I remove the blade hub from my spindle assembly?
The blade hub is threaded onto the spindle shaft with right hand threads. It is not pressed onto the shaft. The hub will need to be removed in a counter clockwise fashion.
Why is my mower leaving a trail of grass on the right hand side?
The issue is probably the amount of material that is being cut. The blades turn counter clockwise, so if you try to cut more material than the unit can handle, you will have a windrow of material build up on the right hand side.
Should the front of the mower run lower than the rear?
Yes. The grass is cut on the front side of the mower and not at the rear. This leaves a better and more consistent cut and aides in better material distribution.
How do you set the belt tension on this mower?
The belt tension is set with a spring and an eyebolt. Tighten or shorten the eyebolt to increase belt tension or loosen or lengthen the bolt to relieve tension. The correct tension is achieved when pressure is applied to the center of the longest run and belt is able to be pressed in about ½" from static position.
How do I remove the blades?
The blade bolts are rh threads and the best way to remove them is by using an air ratchet or gun. If that is not an option, you need to lock the blade in place with a block of wood. When reinstalling the blades, tighten the blade bolt to 55 lbs.
Do I leave my lower arm of the tractor in float when the mower is in use?
You can, but there is already some float built into the lower lugs of the unit.
What kind of weights do I need for the optional weight hanger assembly?
Standard suitcase weights. Make sure they are the same brand as the weight hanger assembly installed. There are six weight hanger assembly options available which include: John Deere, Case, IH, Case/IH, New Holland and Kubota.
How often should I replace my skid shoes?
Check all skid shoes regularly. Skid shoes should be replaced when the material thickness is less than 1/8" at any point.
How much does the hydraulic reservoir hold and how often should the filter be changed?
The hydraulic reservoir has a capacity of 35 gallons. Hydraulic fluid should be added as needed until full mark is reached on the dipstick.
The 10 micron hydraulic filter should be replaced at a minimum of every 2 years.

Q: Ruby indent on Vim with dots I have noticed that some vim distributions like janus automagically add some dots/marks for ruby indenting e.g.
 .....module Models
 .......class User < Base

I did try some ruby .vimrc examples for ruby but I don't seem to find something similar.
Is there a simple way to have this without having to use a full vim distribution e.g. with a simple .vimrc configuration ?

A: Try with: set list listchars=tab:\ \ ,trail:·, it will show all trailing tabs and spaces with dots.

A: If :echo has("conceal") returns 1 then your vim is compiled with and can use conceal. Then you should be able to use
set conceallevel=1
syn match Conceal /\s/ conceal cchar=·
hi Conceal guibg=black

Everyone loves the clickety-clack sound of a typewriter…especially Tom Hanks. So he made this.
If you miss the sweet clicking sounds of your fingers as they press into the keys of a typewriter, followed by the ever familiar "ding" of reaching the end of a line, we've found just the guy to help you out: Tom Hanks.
We're guessing a lot of people don't know that Hanks' is a huge fan of typewriters. He started collecting them back in 1978, so he has some credibility, amirite right? (Sorry, darn sticky keys). In fact, the movie star loves 'em so much, he's come out with his own iPad app called "Hanx Writer." The app replicates all the beloved noises typewriter lovers yearn for.
Although the app just launched on August 19, it would appear that its nostalgia appeals to the masses: Hanx Writer is currently ranked as the top free app on the iTunes App Store and has a stellar rating of 4.5 stars already.
So, if you want all the bells and whistles that come with a typewriter without having to carry that heavy thing around, this app is the perfect thing for you.
Are you a typewriter lover? Let us know in the comment section below.


Guests of the Hacienda Nicholas Bed & Breakfast Inn may want to experience the 28th Annual Madrid Christmas Open House, happening this Saturday, December 4th. Festivities begin at The Mineshaft Tavern at 2pm with gift giving by Santa to all tots. This is followed by the Madrid Christmas Parade at 4pm, along with other holiday activities and festive decorations. The entire town will be decorated with Christmas lights, a tradition that began when Madrid was a flourishing mining town. From the 1920's through the 1950's, this company town would show off its wealth of electrical power and illuminate the town with 100,000 lights, a very lavish display in that era. The light show became so famous that airlines even altered their routes so passengers could enjoy the spectacle.
Madrid became a ghost town once the mines closed in 1954, but people began moving into the ghost town in the 1970's. These early 'settlers' soon revived the tradition of the Christmas lights of Madrid for visitors to enjoy.
The more than 40 stores and galleries of Madrid will be open late, selling fine art, crafts, jewelry, pottery, clothing and more. For unique and artistic gifts, this is a perfect opportunity to get in some Christmas shopping. Many merchants will be welcoming shoppers with hot chocolate, apple cider and holiday cookies.


Nintendo's Mario: How Big A Threat Is Angry Birds?
Parents, both good and bad, are in a constant search for a new digital babysitter, a gadget that'll keep the kids occupied on long car rides, sitting in a doctor's office or the living room waiting for dinner. In other words, something that'll distract them from throwing tantrums and drinking laundry detergent.
For 25 years, Mario has been up to the task. Nintendo's franchise hero has starred in well over 100 games, many of which have sold in excess of one million copies a piece. Generations have grown up with the pudgy Italian plumber, exploring the Mushroom Kingdom and rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser.
Suffice to say, he's the publisher's cash cow, a multi-million dollar industry founded on games, toys, t-shirts, TV shows and candy. Not even the horrendously bad 1993 movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo dented his popularity. Neither have scores of copy cats, including Crash Bandicoot and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mario Kart 3DS (AKA Mario Kart 7) will give 3DS a sales boost, but will it have an Angry Birds sized impact?
If, and it's a big if, Mario became less important, Nintendo would have reason to panic. The company has some of the biggest franchises in the video game industry, like Zelda, Kirby and Metroid, none of which are as big as Mario. Even Pokemon bows to him. He's the rock, the glue that holds both and real and virtual worlds together. If he fell, so would Nintendo along with him.
That said, players (even the most diehard Nintendo fanatics) cannot deny the recent shift in portable games. Instead of handing their kids a 3DS, parents have turned to their cell phones, and why not? They come at no additional charge, and today's games rival anything you'd see on DS, 3DS and PSP. You know, like Angry Birds.
Rovio's incredibly successful games have become the new digital babysitter. We see it all the time. Food shopping with the children? Give them Angry Birds. They won't stop crying? Give them Angry Birds. Don't have enough money to splurge on a new 3DS or even DS? It's OK, they already have a cell phone with Angry Birds.
Gamers love Angry Birds Seasons because it comes with free updates that include more addictive levels.
Not only is Angry Birds thoroughly entertaining, but also cheap. The original costs $0.99, and if parents are that hard up for cash, they can download a free version with a set number of levels.
So here's the issue. Angry Birds has dominated the App Store and Android Marketplace for months, and Rovio has inked deals to put its feathered friends across the globe. In fact, the company just partnered with Madhouse to bring Angry Birds to China, land of video game piracy, place where even Nintendo treads carefully, a country with at least 900 million fully operational cell phones.
Why is this a problem? For starters, you can't play Mario's games on iPhone or Android. You must either purchase a DS (the handheld slowly inching towards its grave) or 3DS, a system that has sold below Nintendo's expectations, future unknown.
Nintendo must find new ways to keep Mario relevant in a constantly evolving market.
This puts Mario in an awkward position. If 3DS fails to take off, even with two Mario themed games slated to arrive before the end of the year, what does this prove? That 3DS bombed, or that Mario is no longer the cultural icon he used to be, or both?
For now, as consumer attitudes change, Nintendo chooses to ignore the booming smart phone market at its own peril. Companies like Apple continue to chip away at the handheld pie, with Angry Birds leading the charge. And to think, we've yet to see Angry Birds 2. Imagine the chaos that'll ensue when that game finally appears.
You can count on this: more people will download the next Angry Birds than purchase Mario's next adventure.
For Nintendo, that's a big problem.

This week in Ozarks history: Rock Castle torn down
1920s structure was one of Springfield's first large apartment buildings
This week in Ozarks history: Rock Castle torn down 1920s structure was one of Springfield's first large apartment buildings Check out this story on news-leader.com: https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2014/06/08/week-ozarks-history-rock-castle-torn/10205673/

Solid fieldstone construction made the Rock Castle Apartments distinctive. The building was torn down in 1969. (Photo: Library Center Archives )
Here's what happened this week in Ozarks history:
• June 9, 1985: Since 1981, Springfield's high schools had reversed a negative national trend in the field of foreign language study. The reports "A Nation at Risk" and "High School" noted 15 percent of students in the United States studied a foreign language in the early 1980s, and that number was down from 24 percent in 1965 and down from 36 percent in 1915, the all-time peak interest in foreign languages. By 1985, some 2,347 of Springfield's high school students (about one-third of the city's total number of high school students) enrolled in Spanish, French, Latin or German language courses, double the national average in studying foreign language courses. Sources: News-Leader and Library Center Information File "Education – Springfield, Mo."
• June 10, 1969: Springfield's urban renewal projects in the south center-city area included the purchase and demolition of the Rock Castle Apartments, one of Springfield's first large apartment complexes dating from the 1920s. Rock Castle, at the northwest corner of Mount Vernon Street and Patton Avenue, had afforded convenient walking distance for any employee of a center-city business. Demolition made room for an addition to First Baptist Church and a parking lot. Sources: Library Center Archives Urban Development Files "South Center City" and Springfield Leader & Press
• June 11, 1999: Greene County's crackdown on methamphetamine production got its first major victory when a jury convicted Donald Leon Brockman on a Class B felony charge of cooking meth. In the past, juries had only seemed willing to convict individuals for possession of methamphetamine, which results in half the prison sentence. News-Leader
• June 12, 1987: Attorney Rolland Comstock represented Butch, a 7-year-old English bulldog, in a Greene County court case. Butch's late master William W. "Billy" Morrison, the longtime operator of amusement park rides at Doling Park, had provided a $98,500 trust fund for Butch, including Morrison's home. Other heirs to Morrison's estate had sold Morrison's house, however, forcing the bulldog to move in with neighbor and caretaker Ruby Keen. After considering the change in Butch's living arrangements, Judge Don Burrell agreed to increase the allocation of money from Butch's trust from $200 per month to $300 per month. News-Leader
• June 13, 1930: F. C. Thieme formally opened his funeral home at 1100 Boonville Ave. The Thieme Funeral Home continued as a family business until 1986. Sources: Press and Springfield City Directory
• June 14, 1929: The Oliver Motor Car Company showroom at 795 Boonville Ave. featured a "Mystery Car," an Essex automobile inside the showroom with a remote control mechanism attached. The unattended car moved and mysteriously stopped just before crashing through the showroom window only inches away. The car company sponsored a contest with prizes for anyone most closely guessing the mystery car's odometer distance traveled over a 42-hour time period within the showroom. Republican
• June 15, 1958: Halltown, a community of less than 100 people west of Springfield on Route 66, emerged as a "thriving" center for seven antique shops. Whereas most antiques for sale were acquired locally, Halltown dealer James Gibbons traveled to New York to purchase antiques for resale in his business. News & Leader

Italy. It's not pornography it's an iron.
London. Wake 7am. Taxi then train to Heathrow Airport. Arrive at 10.15am. Flight Milan. Arrive at 1pm. Catch another flight to Trieste at 5.30pm where I am met by Tonito who drives me to The Excelsior Hotel in Manfalcone . I Am here for the Absolute Poetry Festival. I just want to register That's about 9 hours travelling, two planes two cars and one train to Italy. More of this later.
The receptionist eyeballs me as I return from my hotel room. I suspect he's also the owner who at the hint of complaint will throw off his jacket, to reveal a satin lined cape. With hands on hips he'll say "Nyahha eet eez I" pause for dramatic effect " zeee ewnor"..
Truth is he's more like "Lurch" of The Adams Family. He bends as he stands. When I ask
for an iron he looks through me . The gap between us grows. "Iron?" I say genuflecting
a back and forward motion with my right hand. His eyes follow the action. My head is trying to indicate the idea that this is a question as well as an electrical implement "Iron?". I need "iron" because I will be on stage in front of a few hundred people later on in the evening. I crumple my tshirt, the one I am wearing, and then pretend to iron it. This must look disturbing.
Words in language are a small part of communication. A surly hotelier who dislikes his customers is a dead giveaway (of a dodgy hotel) whether he is in England America or Italy. I thought I had stopped being in hotels like this years ago. I am thinking these thoughts in the silence between us. The song "stuck in the middle with you" comes t mind. As a final attempt I switch to French "s'il vous plait?" His eyebrows raise and his eyes light up. His smile beams "Ahhh you speaka French aha" he says "I thought you English people hated the French". From then he speaks to me in french hunching
his shoulders splaying his hands. But I don't speak French. I say "je ne parle pas francaise, mais un peu, mais comprende? Non. S'il vous plait monsieur. Je Voudrais un Iron….Un IRON!" He raises an eyebrow. At last he says "An iron? We do not have iron at this hotel. We do ironin in the morning". He shuffles some paper. I stand absolutely dumbfounded. Dejected I walk over to the theatre where the director kindly lends me an iron and return to the hotel.
I ask the beautiful black woman in the lift to hold it for me which she does. I know that we must be the only two in town. It's Ursula Rucker who'll be performing the night after me. She says in her unmistakable Philly accent "this is like those hotels back in the day". What she means is that this is like the hotels you stay in when you are just starting out in your career. We are both being polite about the place. I'd always wanted to meet her and knew at some time I would – it's just the way it goes and has gone throughout my career I've pretty much met everyone I wanted to. And maybe if we'd have been in a four/five
star where there would be a bank of lifts, maybe I wouldn't have met her then. After a little light banter – it turns out her room is opposite mine – "so what's in the bag" she says. If it'd been pornography I wouldn't have felt as self conscious "umm yeah… it's umm an iron". She replys "right 'course". She looks at the bag. I look at the bag. She looks accross the corridor at me and I look to her. "well, she says. Enjoy your 'ironing'". I look at the bag as she closes her hotel door and realise that it looks like it might be pornography. I think that I might knock on her door and say "it's not pornopgraphy it's an iron.". I know that the receptionist is probably laughing and watching me on a corridor cam.

Hilarious!!! I was at the show in Monfalcone and enjoyed your performance, absolutely brilliant. Don't know how much i would have paid to be a fly in that elevator, just to have a glimpse at Ursula Rucker's grin while looking at the plastic bag..
You know, i doubt you would have had any chance of getting on the Ryan Air flight to Stanstead from Trieste, inside rumour (fact, fact) has it that routes not including Alitalia's flights were not even considered by the financing local authority sponsoring the festival (bureaucracy blurring into compliance to commercial monopoly???!!!) So now you know, there was no alternative:))) It's been great to hear and see your show
keep up the good word
beatrice, trieste
Thanks for telling me about the Ryanair/Alitalia thing, it makes sense. When I do readings around the world for the British Council they tend to always book British Airways. I hope the rest of the festival went well and thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. It was an iron, honest Beatrice.

Morocco to retry 24 jailed over Western Sahara clashes in 2010
By Aziz El Yaakoubi
RABAT (Reuters) - Morocco will retry 24 civilians convicted of killing members of the security forces during clashes in Western Sahara in 2010, a victory for human rights campaigners who say allegations they were forced to confess were never addressed.
The cassation court on Wednesday ordered a retrial in a civilian court for the defendants who were jailed for between 20 years and life by a military court in 2013, Mohamed Sebbar, head of the National Human Rights Council, said. Morocco outlawed military trials for civilians in 2014.
Two lawyers confirmed the news, which comes as Morocco negotiates with the United Nations about the return of members of its Western Sahara mission expelled from the country after U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon described Morocco's 1975 annexation of the territory as an "occupation".
Moroccan authorities say 13 people were killed - 10 security officers, a firefighter and two civilians - and dozens injured on Nov. 8, 2010 when authorities dismantled a camp where thousands of Western Saharans, known as Sahrawis, were protesting.
The camp had been set up to protest against unemployment.
Morocco annexed Western Sahara in 1975, when former colonial power Spain withdrew and says the territory should come under its sovereignty, while the exiled Polisario Front says Western Sahara is an independent state.
U.S.-based Human Rights Watch has said the defendants, who include several advocates of human rights and independence for Western Sahara, had been jailed by the military without any investigation into allegations their confessions were extracted under torture.
Western Sahara is a sparsely populated tract of desert about the size of Britain, with rich fishing grounds off its coast and reserves of phosphates.

You swore this year would be different but here it is, Christmas Eve and you still have shopping to do. Don't panic just yet! Here are three great last-minute gifts for cooks (and foodies), all of which you can find at local retailers.
Wine Glasses The Riedel Vivant collection at Target is a great choice that includes lots of interesting styles, mostly costing about $10 each. It features different designs for use with different varieties of wine, which makes the glases more exciting than the run of the mill kind. If you're really in the giving spirit, consider adding a bottle of wine to go along with them.
Sur La Table). Each board is handmade of maple in Vermont and you can choose from lots of sizes and styles, including unique ones like pigs and tugboats. Can't get to Sur La Table? Even a white plastic one like the Oxo Good Grips would be welcome...especially if you add an interesting cheese to go with it.
brand-new brewer? The Wolfgang Puck 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker ($120 at Kohl's) is a great choice if you're gifting to someone who's serious about coffee. In addition to delivering a great tasting cup it's fully programmable and has a thermal carafe.

Anger and aggression are prevalent on UK roads with offensive gestures, full blown arguments and threats of physical violence commonplace.
New research from car insurance specialist Admiral reveals 48% of motorists suffer from road rage, with 32% claiming they get it at least weekly.
Furthermore, more than a fifth of drivers (21%) who suffer from road rage have had a full blown argument with another motorist because of it.
Worryingly, 36% of motorists admitted road rage makes them more aggressive drivers, with 8% claiming they have even followed another driver as a result.
Almost one in ten (9%) said they had been threatened with physical violence in a road-rage incident.
James Carnduff, Admiral spokesman, said: "It's bad enough letting yourself be annoyed by other road users, but following them or even worse, reverting to violence is ridiculous.
"You have to ask yourself is it worth getting that upset at other road users?
Admiral found being cut up by drivers (67%), drivers not indicating (65%) and the general rudeness of other drivers (61%) are the most frequent causes of road rage.
Impatience also appears an evident issue, with motorists who drive too slowly (43%) more likely to cause road rage than those who drive too fast (30%).
The survey also found that men are more likely to drive aggressively, have arguments, follow drivers and make offensive gestures.
Kevin Clinton, Head of Road Safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), said: "Safe driving requires concentration, observation and anticipation as well as a responsible attitude to other road users.
"This sort of driving increases the chances of the angry driver causing an accident, which in the worst cases, can mean people losing their lives.
"In 2011, 122 people were killed, and almost 1,000 seriously injured, in accidents involving aggressive driving, according to the Department for Transport's Reported Road Casualties Great Britain 2011 report.
Dr Peter Marsh, a psychologist and behaviour expert, has explored what motorists can do to combat feelings of road rage.
It's a kind of personal territory that as humans, we are programmed to defend as it's our 'home turf'.
The car provides us with opportunities for a sense of mastery and self-control, so when this is impacted upon by other drivers, frustration can arise as it's one of the few opportunities to feel that we are in charge.
The car provides a sense of protection from the outside world, so aggressive gestures can easily be conveyed to others before we make our escape inside our steel box.
Open the car windows – this reduces the sense of invulnerability you might have.
Regain a sense of mastery and control by 'rising above it all' because you have a better understanding of why your mood is changing adopt a Zen-like pose of smug serenity and superiority.
YouGov questioned 3,120 drivers for the Admiral Survey of UK Motorists.

The Philadelphia Phillies and at least a handful of other Major League Baseball organizations have been doing a dance all off-season for the two biggest free agent names on the market.
Rosenthal went on to particularly address the position of the front office down at Citizens Bank Park, writing that the Phillies: "sitting on "stupid money," figure they will get one of the two stars, knowing they can top any offer."
Klentak's best series of moves by far in his tenure has pushed their talent level to the point where the recently-released Baseball Prospectus PECOTA rankings place them as an 86-win team. That is tied for fifth-best in the National League overall, and just three wins behind the NL East favored Washington Nationals.
With their moves thus far, the Phillies have drawn significantly closer to becoming a truly contending team. And now it is finally time to nail down that final piece to the contending puzzle. The signing of either Harper or Machado would make the Phillies division favorites and place them as likely second-ranked in the entire NL to only the defending NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Originally published at Phillies Nation as "Time for Phillies to step up and nail down Bryce Harper"

Why Should You Cultivate The Habit of Storytelling?
Storytelling is a traditional art followed by our forefathers. It is something that can be enjoyed during babyhood up to early teens.
Unfortunately, our children are born in a media-centric age where television and the internet have taken priority over these simple pleasures and these early experiences of childhood are slowly fading from their lives.
Storytelling has tremendous benefits for your child's development. Children love a good story, especially those that end with a moral.
It helps children develop good language and comprehension skills.
For younger children, listening to the storyteller's words helps them learn pronunciation.
It nurtures their inner imagination and creativity.
It helps in expanding their limited vocabulary.
The whole idea of a story being told, from the plot to the end, creates a magical experience for children.
Storytelling can be used as a medium to explain complex topics like friendship, fear and love and also about cultures and life philosophies.
Children can also learn the difference between good and bad through the characters or their deeds in the story. This in turn can help them make right decisions in real life situations.
Also, stories are best when they have an interesting moral in the end. These are a huge hit with children and they can reap huge benefits from listening to such stories.
One day the town mouse visits his cousin the country mouse at his house in the country.
There, the country mouse, who is excited to play host to the town mouse, serves a humble dinner with beans, bacon, cheese and some bread.
The town mouse with a lot of pride isn't happy about what his country cousin has served him and asks how he can live in such poor and deprived conditions.
The town mouse, wanting to show the country mouse how to live life, invites the country mouse back to his place and the country mouse accepts his invitation.
They travelled all day long and reached the town mouse's house late at night. The town mouse took him straight to the grand dining room.
There, the country mouse was amazed to see remains of a fine feast and soon he found himself indulging in jellies and cakes.
Just as the country mouse was enjoying his food, they were interrupted by a loud noise that seemed liked growling and barking.
When the country mouse asked his town cousin what that was, he replied they were just dogs. Soon as he could finish his sentence, in came running two huge mastiffs that made the two mice scamper to safety.
Just after this incident the country mouse decides it's time to go back to his country house, to which the town mouse asks why he's leaving so early.
The country mouse says he's better off eating his beans, bacon cheese and bread in peace than have cakes and ale in fear.
The story of the town mouse and the country mouse moral is that it's better to live happily with little and be content, rather than live with abundance or a lot of something, but in fear all your life.
The town mouse had the best of food and luxury at the town house he lived in, but every minute was lived in fear for his life.
The country mouse though doesn't have much to live on, but he's happy and content with it and lives each day with satisfaction.
Story telling is a part of our tradition that should be continued and not let to die. Our children are born in a media dominant age where it's all about instant gratification via cartoons and video games.
It's a wonderful way to bond with your child especially for working parents who are busy all day. Curling up in bed together and reading a story would be a much needed break.
By story telling you can weave your own imagination into the story and teach any important life lessons from your own experiences that you wish your child to learn.
It is lesser time spent in front of the television. Storytelling can also be a good method to correct your child when he shows an unaccepted behavior.
Storytelling can establish a strong foundation in your child's future social, emotional development. So don't hold back on this simple yet important part of your child's early experiences.
Do you have an interesting story to share with us? Please do so we would love to hear about it.


Wayne Rooney is perhaps the best-known UK recipient of an FUE hair transplant, having been talked about in the media frequently since news of his procedure first broke. While other famous men have also had procedures in recent times – including actor James Nesbitt, chef Gordon Ramsay and Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner – it is the Manchester United star that has really captured the public's attention.
With on-pitch japery from Rooney involving him pointing at his lucky hair following a goal, interest in his operation has continued to grow. But have celebrity procedures such as his increased the number of people seriously looking into FUE hair transplants?

Rally Acropolis Preview 2013
Posted on May 30, 2013 by Daniel Darrall
This weekend the World Rally Championships heads over to Greece for the 'Classic' Acropolis Rally. Known as 'The Rally Of Gods' Acropolis is one of the longest-standing and most iconic events in World Championship and was one of the original rounds of the series when it was established back in 1973.
Greece is known to be a car breaker. With its High Temperatures and the twisty Rough roads Makeing for a tough challenge for even the best drivers in the world. The gravel surface is soft, and cuts up very easily. It's sand on top of rock in many places making for difficult grip levels, and can also cause punctures on this exciting rocky and scenic event.
The Rally Its self is based in the coastal resort of Loutraki. This year's Acropolis itinerary has changed considerably from last year with stage distance shortened and a day less, But despite this, the competion will still be fierce.
The Qualifying Stage (6.05-kilometres) is on Friday morning to decide the running order for day one, then crews head east to the capital Athens and the famous Zappion for the ceremonial start. After the opening celebrations the events then begins with Stage 1, the 47km Kineta-Pissa stage, the longest Stage of the rally and then a late evening run through 21km Kineta. Both run as night stages. Depending on the weather, its possible for the dust to be an issue.
Saturday, Day 2 of the rally consists of 8 stages with a total competitive distance of 149.5 km's featuring stages such as Ghymno and ending the with the 21.63km Ziria stage. Sunday has only 4 stages with Pissia and the popular Loutraki Stage, the 30.14 km Loutraki test acting as the final 'Power Stage' for the event. Sunday totally a distance of just 83.2kms.
Last year's winner Sebastien Loeb will not be taking part due to his semi-Rally retirement, which means there will be a new winner for Acropolis Rally. Taking Loebs place so far this year is Sebastien Ogier, and has to be favorite to win this weekend. The Frenchman's track record in Greece is similarly impressive to Loeb. He finished 2nd in 2009, a result he calls his 'breakthrough' in the WRC, and won the rally in 2011. Last year, Volkswagen took part in the Acropolis with two cars manufactured by the group's brand Škoda. Ogier won the Super 2000 category and finished in 7th position overall. Ogier's team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala is also one to watch. The Finn rates the Acropolis as the hardest WRC rally of the year, but last year, in a Ford, he was the early rally leader before dropping to third after a mistake led to a puncture. although its taking a bit of time for the Finn to get up to speed in the Polo.
Citroen's team-leader Mikko Hirvonen could also be in the fight for the win Having finished on the podium on the last 4 outings in Greece – and winning in 2009 – the Finn is very familiar with the requirements of the event. Hirvonen has worked closely with Citroen on its ongoing development of the DS3 and evaluated new set-ups at a pre-event test in Greece. After missing this rally for the last two years, Hirvonen's team-mate Dani Sordo could be in the running if he can quickly familiarize himself with some of the stages.
Once again the Qatar M-Sport squad's hopes ride with Fiesta RS duo of Mads Ostberg and Evgeny Novikov. Ostberg was an impressive 4th in 2012 after a remarkable comeback from an early off, and is eyeing a podium this week. Meanwhile Novikov has fond memories of the 2009 Acropolis Rally when he became the WRC's youngest stage winner at the age of just 18.

Object is both as material and as culture. We believe all have souls. In the era of excess substances, we try every way possible to keep something sustainable. To cherish what we have is a kind of relationship, which requires our best effort.
I try to tell a known love story between men and women with Chinese element.
I have hoped I can be a choreographer to create my pieces with practice. Therefore, I am going forward alone.I found the dream seems like my shadow, who is firmly going along with me accepting challenge.
What kind of world did your eyes take you to?
They are looking for an exit to escape from love, to make attempt to connect with love again.
I'm drawer, bearing trivialities with inclusion.
Bowl, is coming to me, with her uniqueness.
to remember the reality in hypocritical life.
to remember the reality in hypocritical life."


The annual Cross Country Run was held on Wednesday, 23rd January. Students from P1 – D2 participated in a variety of races. It was fantastic to see our students take part with enthusiasm and to see so many parents and teachers acting as positive role models by running.

Eltham Palace
by Cedric
Located in South East London the current house was built by Stephen and Virginia Courtauld in the 1930s on the site of an original palace. The building was designed to be an elaborate home in the Art Deco style. The dramatic Entrance Hall was created by the Swedish designer Rolf Engströmer. However, the outstanding feature is the Great Hall, which is the only remaining part of the original palace and which boasts the third-largest hammerbeam roof in England. The Courtaulds restored the Great Hall adding a minstrels gallery to it.
The original palace was given to Edward II in 1305 by the Bishop of Durham and was in regular use as a royal residence during the 14th to the 16th century. It has a notable history during this period and a young Henry VIII grew up there.
Although the roof of the Great Hall had been badly damaged by a bomb in September 1940, the Courtaulds remained at Eltham until 1944 after which the Royal Army Educational Corps took over the building. The Corps remained there until 1992.
In 1995 English Heritage assumed management of the palace and in 1999, having completed major repairs and restorations of the interiors and gardens, the palace and its garden were opened to the public. A 15th-century bridge still crosses the moat. It has been said that internally the Art Deco house is a masterpiece of modern design. It can be hired for weddings and other functions.

Q: I can see my LVM but I can't initialize it. Missing UUID of one of the disks I have had a 2 disk LVM called Data going for about 6 months, and I recently bought a third disk. I installed the disk in the machine, and wanted to format it and extend the lvm onto it, like I've done before. The system refused to format the disk, claiming it was already in use. I looked around for possible solutions, and ended up using dmsetup remove_all. This allowed me to format the new drive, but now it seems the system has problems with one of the two disks in the lvm. I don't know what the next step is.
Will try to include as much info as I can. Sda is a 500gb disk for system/swap etc. Sdb and sdc are the two already existing disks, and sdd is the newest addition. Sdb, sdc and sdd are all 3TB disks. I basically just want the lvm restored, and possibly the new disk included in it. It seems like the solution is right in front of me, I just don't quite know what to do.

Commercial Real Estate Terms
Average Annual Return
The annual rate of return that one receives on an investment for all of the capital and cash flows invested. It does not factor in the net present value of all monies that go into and out of the investment. The Internal Rate of Return is typically slightly lower than the Average Annual Return because the profits at the end upon sale have a lower net present value than monies that are spent at the beginning of an investment.
Cash on Cash Return
Cash on cash return is a percent of cash out of an investment in a year relative to the amount of cash invested. It does not consider the time value of money. It is a commonly referenced metric; however, it is seldom used professionally.
Linear Depreciation
Commercial is 39 years linear depreciation, residential (to include multifamily) is 27.5 years. This assumes all physical assets will predictably depreciate to a value of zero after this time, and the losses from this offset income on a tax basis. Depreciation is one of the main benefits of investment real estate ownership.
Full-Service Lease
A full-service lease consists of a tenant's rent that includes all the same components of a Gross Lease, but the landlord is also responsible for paying the utilities used by the tenant.
Gross Lease
Gross lease is taxes, insurance, and maintenance which is the responsibility of the landlord. The tenant is still responsible for their utilities.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
The annual internal rate of return that one receives on an investment for all of the capital and cash flows based on the net present value for each when deployed. It is the discount rate such that the sum of today's investment and future cash flows have a net value of zero. It expresses in the form of an interest rate the value of a given investment in today's terms. It is the most accurate and one of the most widely used ways of calculating and comparing multiple investments by professionals.
NNN or triple net lease is a type of lease in which the tenant is responsible for the taxes, insurance, and maintenance of the building that the tenant leases. Often there is some landlord responsibility (e.g., roof and foundation, parking lot, HVAC, etc.).
NOI (Net Operating Income)
NOI or net operating income is income after vacancy and expenses and before debt service.
Rent Ratio
Rent ratio is monthly rent / purchase price or market value. Should be 1.0% or more for acceptable cash on cash return with 75-80% loan. Mostly used for rental homes.

Katie and I participated in CrossFit Free's Spring Kickoff Competition this past Saturday. There was a large group of CrossFit 2A athletes taking part and even more that came to watch and cheer. The workouts (even for the scaled competitors like Katie and me) were very challenging.
Katie excelled in the second WOD (3 rounds of 5 heavy dead lifts and a 400m run) - she finished 10th in her division. She ended the day at 17th place - a great improvement from her first competition. She felt great about how she performed, and we are all very proud of her effort.
I ended in 15th place. I, too, was happy with my placement. I actually did considerably better in the competition than I did in each of the "practice" WODs I completed earlier in the week to prepare for this.
Can't wait for the next one. Photos taken by Trudy...Thanks!

Mortimer is looking for love. And he's looking everywhere! He's worked out at the gym (if only his arm wouldn't preserve falling off ). He's tried ballroom dancing lessons (however the ladies found him to turn out to be a bit stiff ). How's a guy supposed to find a ghoul? He's even been on stalemate. When it seems all hope has died, could the girl of Mortimer's dreams be just one horrifying shriek away? com.

Polyethylene is a class of thermoplastics practically ubiquitous in consumer products. In its foam form, polyethylene is used in packaging, vibration dampening and insulation, as a barrier or buoyancy component, or as material for cushioning. It is most frequently seen as a packaging material. Sixty million tons of polyethylene is produced worldwide each year, which is even more than it sounds like when you consider its low density. In the UK, polyethylene is known as polythene. Worldwide, the material is sometimes abbreviated as PE. Found in all types of packaging, polyethylene is used to wrap furniture, computer components, electronics, sporting goods, plants, frozen foods, clothing, bowling balls, signs, metal products, and more. It comes in forms designed to minimize static or maximize thermal insulation, among dozens of other variants. The material is impervious to bacteria and mold and is tear-resistant. Polyethylene is among the cheapest of artificially fabricated materials, but not as cheap as most raw materials, as the polymerization process consumes energy. In addition, distribution costs are normal because polyethylene cannot be compressed much for shipping.
