Crowds turn out to watch Burnham-On-Sea autumn aquathlon

Blue skies and warm sunshine provided ideal conditions for those taking part in Burnham-On-Sea's autumn aquathlon on Sunday (October 14th).

Children took part in 'splash and dash' races along the town's bach, watched by crowds of spectators, while the adults competed in a 750m swim at Burnham Swim and Sports Academy followed by a 7.5km run along the seafront.

Organiser Martin Rogers from Burnham Swim and Sports Academy told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The event was a great success, with over 40 entries in the adults races and 90 youngsters in the childrens' event."

Doug -

SF Bay Area?

If you/your dad have sold bus banks/memorabilia to Dan Smith at Royal Coach in San Jose, you might ask him.

Or perhaps over at the Pacific Bus Museum's facility in Hayward?

Just a couple quick "come to mind" thoughts for you.

Complete Coach Works (LA) recently bought out American Coach Repair in Alameda.  The facility is a huge ex Navy hanger on the old Alameda NAS.  Lots and lots of room and they do have fenced storage. Many of the old hangers are now repurposed into businesses. That would be my choice.

Rutgers Institute for Ethical Leadership and partners to train next generation of nonprofit leaders

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Victoria Foundation and Rutgers Institute for Ethical Leadership to partner with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Center for Creative Leadership to enhance pipeline of nonprofit executives. Greater Newark region is one of eight to participate in Fellowship Program to prepare next generation of nonprofit leaders

Newark, NJ–Victoria Foundation and the Institute for Ethical Leadership at Rutgers Business School have been selected to collaborate with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) to implement a national fellowship program in the Greater Newark region that will help train the next generation of community health leaders. The RWJF Ladder to Leadership program aims to boost the skills and capabilities of early- to mid-level professionals working in health and community-related nonprofit organizations, positioning them to lead organizations as many nonprofit leaders retire.

Over the next six months, RWJF, CCL, and the national advisory committee of the Ladder to Leadership program will select up to 30 fellows who work in Greater Newark to take part in the 16-month leadership curriculum. Fellows will participate in face-to-face training sessions, individualized executive coaching, and team project work.

“There are many critical nonprofit organizations in Newark and its environs that will undergo a leadership transition over the next several years. This program will offer excellent training to the emerging leaders in our community,” said Irene Cooper-Basch, Executive Officer of Victoria Foundation. “Not only will this experience enhance their professional growth, but it will build a network of skilled nonprofit professionals who can work together to solve authentic problems.”

James Abruzzo, co-founder of Rutgers Institute for Ethical Leadership, said, “We are pleased to expand our partnership with Victoria Foundation and begin work in collaboration with CCL and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation to support and train emerging leaders in the Newark area, We will be specifically focusing on management skill building after the fellows have completed their leadership development with CCL.”

The nonprofit sector, like many industries and sectors, is facing an impending exodus of senior leaders who plan to retire in the coming years. A study by the Bridgespan Group estimated that by 2016, nonprofit groups will need approximately 80,000 new senior managers each year. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there were 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in the United States in 2006.

“Nonprofit organizations are a critical part of health care and service delivery in this country. It is important we work with current leaders to build a pipeline of qualified future CEOs and executive directors, so we do not lose the vision and capacity needed to continue to do this work effectively in the future,” said Sallie Petrucci George, M.P.H., program officer at RWJF. “We are committed to investing in tomorrow’s nonprofit leaders to make sure they receive the training they need to best serve those at-risk communities. It’s a particular pleasure to help develop these leaders in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s ‘home state’ of New Jersey.”

The Greater Newark region was one of eight sites selected across the country to participate in the program. It was chosen because of the unique health and community needs of Newark, Irvington, East Orange, Orange, Elizabeth, and Hillside. Other criteria included census and demographic information, community-based needs for public health leadership development, and commitment of local community partners.

“We believe this program will have a powerful and lasting impact on individual leaders and their organizations,” said Karen Dyer, director of CCL’s Education and Nonprofit Sector. “By design, the program encourages fellows to apply new skills and innovative solutions to problems in their communities as these skills are learned. So they are giving back to the community as they go.”

To become a fellow, applicants must demonstrate a record of accomplishment within the nonprofit sector, potential for leadership in the nonprofit health and community arenas, and a proven commitment to serving at-risk groups. To learn more about who is eligible and how to apply, visit:

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the pressing health and health care issues facing our country. As the nation’s largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, the Foundation works with a diverse group of organizations and individuals to identify solutions and achieve comprehensive, meaningful and timely change. For more than 35 years, the Foundation has brought experience, commitment, and a rigorous, balanced approach to the problems that affect the health and health care of those it serves. When it comes to helping Americans lead healthier lives and get the care they need, the Foundation expects to make a difference in your lifetime. For more information, visit

The Center for Creative Leadership is a top-ranked, global provider of executive education that develops better leaders through its exclusive focus on leadership education and research. Founded in 1970 as a nonprofit, educational institution, CCL helps clients worldwide cultivate creative leadership—the capacity to achieve more than imagined by thinking and acting beyond boundaries—through an array of programs, products and other services. Ranked among the world’s top providers of executive education by BusinessWeek and the Financial Times, CCL is headquartered in Greensboro, N.C., with campuses in Colorado Springs, C.O.; San Diego, C.A.; Brussels, Belgium; and Singapore. Its work is supported by more than 500 faculty members and staff.

Victoria Foundation is a New Jersey-based private grantmaking institution, which was founded in 1924 by Mr. Hendon Chubb to honor his mother, Victoria Eddis Chubb. The Foundation has awarded over $225 million in grants, focusing its giving over the past 50 years to ameliorate the suffering of children and families living in poverty in Newark, New Jersey. For more information, visit

The Institute for Ethical Leadership at Rutgers Business School, which now encompasses the Center for Nonprofit and Philanthropic Leadership, works with business and government entities, nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, and within the University to provide leaders and future leaders with the education, training and critical-thinking tools needed to become more effective leaders and managers and make ethical decisions for real-world challenges.

Lois Lowry The GiverKevin Winter/Getty ImagesAuthor Lois Lowry and actors Brenton Thwaites, Jeff Bridges, and Odeya Rush at the 'The Giver' presentation during Comic-Con.

Two decades ago, author Lois Lowry published her best-selling novel, "The Giver."

Today, "The Giver," the movie, finally comes to theaters — 18 years after the film rights were first optioned.

Lowry told The New York Times Magazine's Jessica Gross about her involvement with bringing the popular book to the big screen:

The film rights were optioned probably 18 years ago, so this has been a very, very long process. My entire involvement is as an interloper, an onlooker, an opinion giver. I don’t have any contractual involvement, so they could have gone ahead and made it without consulting me at all, but they’ve been gracious about involving me.

But the 77-year-old author did have one crucial note for filmmakers:

I remember seeing the costume designs for the female lead, Fiona (Odeya Rush) — in the book she’s 12, and in the movie she’s 16. I advised them that some of the costumes were too sexy. And so the hem was dropped a little bit. I asked them: 'Please don’t turn this into a teenage romance.'

Main character Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) is also aged in the film. In the book, Jonas is just 12 years old, but the character is age 16 in the movie  an alteration that co-star Jeff Bridges wasn't initially comfortable with.

"When I heard that they were going to cast older people, I had to really decide, ‘Bon voyage’ and go our separate ways, or engage,” Bridges has said. “And I decided to do that (stay), even though I knew it wasn’t going to match my particular vision. I’m so glad that I did get on board."

In the end, only three kisses are exchanged throughout the entire film and there is much less violence than in other young adult adaptations like "The Hunger Games" or "Divergent."the giver brenton thwaitesThe Weinstein Company

Instead, "The Giver" tells the story of Jonas, who is chosen to learn from an elderly man (Jeff Bridges) about the true pain and pleasure of the "real" world outside of his seemingly utopian society.the giver jeff bridgesThe Weinstein Company

Katie Holmes and Alexander Skarsgard play Jonas' mother and father.

The film also stars Meryl Streep as "Chief Elder." Lowry was so impressed with the actress' performance that she said: "[Meryl] turns it into a complex character. I think they did a terrific job adding that level in. I wish I could go back and rewrite the book and expand that role."jeff bridges meryl streep the giverThe Weinstein Company/"The Giver"

"The Giver" hit theaters on Friday.

You have a great idea, a smart business plan, and even a good target market. It seems like the sky's the limit for what your startup company can achieve. Unfortunately, the only thing your startup lacks is capital.

Fundraising using investors can be time-consuming, tiring, and take you away from the core of your business. This is why some entrepreneurs are blazing their own path and using their own savings as funding. Using the IRS’s ROBS program, or Rollovers as Business Startups, company founders can roll their 401(k) into startup capital.

“When launching Ascendify, we wanted to devote our time to building an innovative product that would transform the recruiting industry, and not let anything (like fundraising) distract us from those goals,” said Lauren Smith, co-founder of the talent acquisition platform. “So, for our first round, we decided to skip the more traditional investor route and invest in ourselves instead.”

I had honestly never heard of ROBS before, but after some research, I discovered using ROBS to fund your startup is tricky and won’t be the right choice for every fledgling company. To get an idea of best practices, I spoke with Smith about how they succeeded using ROBS at Ascendify:

Have a solid business plan
As dicey as it can be to start a new company from scratch, now you’re getting your retirement savings involved. If your company goes under, you can say goodbye to the savings invested in your startup. This is why it’s essential to have a solid business plan before rolling over your funds.

Make sure you believe in your product, company, or service and be very honest with yourself about the likelihood of success.

“When it came to Ascendify, we saw a need in the marketplace for our talent acquisition platform and we’ve since won industry awards for our product,” said Smith. “We felt confident the business would succeed and this confidence came from a realistic view of our market.”

Having an established business plan helps you navigate more effectively, which is probably why 60 percent of businesses launched with ROBS funding in 2010 were franchises.

Don’t do it on your own
As an entrepreneur, you might be tempted to start traveling the road to ROBS funding alone. This isn’t a good idea, due to the complexity of these rollovers. While you can avoid the penalties and fees usually associated with withdrawing your 401(k) early, you’ll want someone who understands complicated IRS tax law.

The mechanism allowing for rollovers is called the ERISA, or Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This act allows workers to be in charge of their own destinies, at least where their retirement plan is concerned. Like most tax laws, the ERISA is extremely complicated -- meaning it’s easy to step out of line by accident. If you want to avoid an audit or hefty fees, you’ll want to bring in the experts to keep you on track.

“We wanted to make sure we were IRS compliant, and following the letter of the law,” Smith said. “So we partnered with Benetrends because they understand the ins and outs of tax laws, having implemented these funding programs for over 30 years.”

Offer stock options
Compliance with regulations is a big part of successfully using ROBS to start your business. You certainly don’t want to run afoul of the established rules, since the IRS can be real sticklers. For instance, a prohibited transaction can set your company back 110 percent or more in penalties.

Offering stock options to employees is a good way to maintain compliance. Many startup companies would initially offer stock until ROBS funding was approved. Then the stock options would disappear. This practice is prejudicial against new and less highly-compensated employees. So, you’ll want to offer your workers stock options to find great talent for your company and stay compliant in the process.

Consider profit sharing
Using ROBS means taking your existing 401(k) and rolling it over into a newly established retirement plan for your company. When it comes to this new retirement plan, you can either decide to offer employees a robust 401(k) or a simple profit sharing plan. If you go down the profit sharing path, know that you’re not locked into sharing every year in which you’re profitable.

“At Ascendify, we offer profit sharing because we realize that these types of employee benefits are critical to attracting top talent in Silicon Valley,” Smith said.

Offering these perks, whether it’s 401(k) matching or profit sharing, can be a great tool for luring the talent your company needs. You need to scoop up great candidates before your competition, and for startups, it’s even more important to hire the right people. Offering some perks to sweeten the deal is a great way to get this talent interested in your new company.

These tips are useful if you’ve decided to use ROBS funding to kickstart your startup. This program won’t be right for every new company, but if you decide to invest in yourself, it may be worth the risk.

Have you used the ROBS program for startup funding? Do you have some tips to share in the comments?

In his latest weekly Macro Dashboard note, Morgan Stanley chief economist Vincent Reinhart looks into Thursday's trade deficit report, and discovers bad news on two fronts.

First, exports are slowing. This is bad for GDP. Second, capital goods imports fell, which is red flag that companies are hitting the breaks on investment, possibly ahead of the fiscal cliff.

Here's Reinhart:

A soft international trade report showed increasing weakness in the two key areas that have turned into growing drags as the economy has slowed over the course of this year, exports and capital spending, the former hit by increasingly soft global growth and the latter increasingly depressed by fiscal cliff uncertainty.  The trade report was weak, pointing to a bigger drag on third quarter growth from net exports and investment.  The trade deficit widened to $44.2 billion in August from $42.5 billion in July, with exports falling 1.0% and imports 0.1% even with a boost from higher commodity prices.  In real terms, good exports fell 2.6% on top of a 2.3% decline in July, and goods imports fell 0.9%.  And although overall exports tumbled in August, capital goods exports rose, while capital goods imports declined, which means that domestic demand for equipment was even weaker than initially indicated by the drop in capital goods shipments in the durable goods report.

This point about slowing capital good spending by domestic companies is something more folks are talking about.

At The Big Picture conference this week, David Rosenberg said that the year-over-year decline in the 3-month moving average of core CAPEX orders was one of his big red flags.

Core capex ordersBloomberg, Business Insider

So what does this all mean for Q4 GDP?

Here's Morgan Stanley's Vincent Reinhart again, delivering the bad news:

Incorporating the results of the trade report, we forecast a 3% decline in exports in Q3 and a 0.3pp subtraction from net exports.  And we see equipment and software investment falling 3% and overall business investment 5%.  These would be the weakest results for exports and investment since the first half of 2009 when the economy was still in recession.  These downgrades cut our Q3 GDP estimate to +1.5% from +2.1%, of which inventory accumulation is expected to account for 0.9pp.  The business inventories report on Monday will likely show a further rise in the combined retail, wholesale, and manufacturing inventory/sales ratio to the highest level since late 2009, raising risks of a cutback in inventories weighing on growth in Q4.

So yeah, a weak world, and a domestic investment slowdown. Not good.

Cisco bought a wifi startup called Meraki for $1.2 billion.

Here's the blog post everyone is passing around to explain how that happened.

It's from Doug Leone, who got his VC firm, Sequoia Capital, to invest in Meraki:

Quick: when was the last time you plugged in an Ethernet cable? If you have trouble answering that question, you’re one of the reasons why Cisco has agreed to acquire Meraki.

Six years ago Sanjit, John and Hans saw our Wi-Fi world before many others. Meraki offered smaller wireless ISPs a complete package to roll-out wireless networks without a lot of time, money or expertise. It gave upstart ISPs a way to enter new markets and disrupt existing ones. The benefits were obvious: the ability to scale without wires, low cost of entry, ease of use, and network analysis tools to help operators maximize revenue from their small networks.

I’ll always remember meeting the guys for the first time. We were introduced by Rajeev Motwani, Larry & Sergey’s thesis advisor at Stanford. They were a bunch of MIT PhDs who had built a very proprietary solution as part of their own thesis called RoofNet. They were clearly world-class, super smart and personable. I bought their product to test it out.  It was so easy to use, I set up a wireless network myself in minutes. You just plugged in the box and it worked. That’s all we needed to see. Chris Sacca, who was at Google at the time, was equally enthusiastic. Google bought 1,000 routers and invested as well.

The biggest challenge came early on in deciding where to aim the product. We wasted nearly a year evaluating different markets: entrepreneurial building owners, ad-supported Wi-Fi, retail, SMEs, large corporations, even the developing world. We eventually settled on SME, for product fit and speed of revenues. From there Meraki took off.

It was amazing to watch the founders grow into leaders: Sanjit as CEO, John as CTO, and Hans as VP of Product Management. I’m really proud of the fact that they’re still in those positions today. The three of them built one of the most high performance teams I’ve ever seen. They made very few mistakes. They executed, quickly refined a best of breed product, and expanded into complementary markets.

The smartest move came in 2009 when we released business-class cloud-based software to control the hardware. This made it dramatically easier for IT to rollout and manage network access, with a solution that worked especially well for lean-IT distributed environments like branch offices, hotels, restaurants, retail locations, and schools.

Before Meraki if you got a call at 1am you’d have to go into the office, access a control panel and fix the issue yourself, or even travel to the location of the problem. With the webapp, network admins can log on via their browser and get a centralized view of all their deployments, right down to the device level. And it’s the only multi-tenant offering, which brings the benefits of scale, constant innovation, zero maintenance and low costs. They simplified a complex ecosystem and pioneered networking as a service. Meraki now offers a complete multi-tenant cloud solution with products for WLAN, VPN/firewall security, Ethernet switching, WAN optimization and mobile device management.

As an early business partner to Cisco, it’s exciting for us to see these two transformational companies come together 25 years later.  Cisco’s business execs worked with the founders as true partners and shared an inspiring vision that got us all excited.  Then they moved at lightning speed to get the deal done.  Within four days, we had a handshake agreement with Cisco.  They drove a fair bargain.

Now Cisco gains a new growth driver. Mobile is dramatically reshaping every workplace in the world, and people expect ubiquitous, reliable and accessible wireless from their coffee shop to their hotel room to their office.More than 1 billion connected devices will ship in 2012 alone. According to Meraki, last year mobile devices accounted for a majority of devices accessing networks, overtaking PCs for the first time. Of course tablets and smartphones never had an Ethernet port, and now many computers like the MacBook Air don’t either. At the same time, more and more apps are moving to the cloud, consuming more and more bandwidth.

As everything from your tablet to your camera to your TV to your fridge connects wirelessly the trends will only continue. Om Malik put it best: we live in a multiple device Wi-Fi world. Change means opportunity. Sanjit, John and Hans and their first-class engineering and product teams in San Francisco will continue to build terrific products for years to come.

As for your Ethernet cable? The holidays are just around the corner. It might make a nice ribbon on the gift for the geek in your family.

Chicago aldermen approve infrastructure plan

The Chicago City Council has approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to use public-private partnerships to finance infrastructure projects.

Chicago aldermen voted 41-7 on Tuesday to approve the Chicago Infrastructure Trust. Emanuel announced the multi-billion-dollar plan last month, saying Chicago would go ahead with projects without waiting for federal assistance or raising taxes. The trust will start with $225 million in energy efficiency projects for government buildings.

The mayor has said there are five leaders in infrastructure finance interested in investing in Chicago's publicly owned properties. Emanuel has said the properties would "stay Chicago's publicly owned properties."

Mike Coffman’s balanced budget amendment is a misleading promise; focus on budget deficit

During the 2010 campaign, Republicans Ken Buck and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (CD 6) wasted a lot of time talking about a balanced budget amendment. Coffman is trying to lead a movement in the U.S. House to put a balanced budget amendment in the U.S. Constitution. Senate Republicans are grandstanding on the misleading promise to pass a balanced budget amendment instead of getting serious about budget cutting. While I believe we must reduce the nation's deficit and debt, I also believe that politicians who grandstand on the balanced budget amendment need to told to stop trying to win headlines with their false promises. In the internet era, such foolishness won't wear well with voters. Bloomberg points out that even the most serious budget cutters think that the goal must be to cut the budget deficit to less than 3% of gross domestic product. It's now about 9%. Here is a good, short summary of what economists and various budget panels and commissions think should be done and what they think is doable: Balanced-budget dream will take decades even for deficit hawks, by  Brian Faler.

For the love of the game

Karl Heyenga, 85, was the staple behind the Allison Cats’ 49-year run as an amateur baseball squad. He played, then managed and then directed the team from 1948-96. (Pat Racette Photo)

The Allison Cats outlasted any other town team in Butler County, playing amateur baseball for 49 consecutive years.

Just a teenager when the Cats finally ran out of years in ‘96, Casey Klunder never had the chance to wear the big A cap. His dad, Steve, however, had one of the longest careers for the squad, playing until he was 38; while his grandfather, Robert, played at one time as well.

Growing up hearing Allison Cat stories, Klunder, 29, is the brainchild of reviving them this year, after an 18-year hiatus. His two reasons in bringing back the Cats – to show the new generation how important the Cats were to Allison, and give his former players a chance to play in the summer.

I received an interesting bug report from Winter Tail on my Beta 3 Darke Dungeon server. it read:
"Haunts are incorporeal, right? Why do they trip traps then?"

The primary reason is for game balance. In Darke Dungeon, phasing is only a movement status. It allows you to move at a reduced rate through solid objects and prevents suffocation while you are inside solids.

I honestly gave this a lot of thought when I implemented the "phased" status effect that represents the ability of haunts and other creatures to pass through solids. Originally, I had planned to make only phased projectiles able to strike phased critters. This made phasing entirely too powerful.

The "in character" reason is that phased creatures still have a body. They are not technically "incorporeal", which means they have no material body at all. To solids that are not within their phasing effect, the critter will feel something like the consistency of Jello. You can feel them and interact with them, but if you push hard enough you pass right through. There is a definite resistance between phased objects and non-phased objects, which makes traps react to them. Weapons damage phased beings by disrupting them more rapidly than the phasing magic can compensate.

Haunts also have the floating effect, which gives them immunity to a number of basic traps like pits.
In character, you could also consider that haunts that are completely incorporeal would have no interaction at all with the physical world and therefore no ability to harm the players. Therefore they would have to have some minimal level of solidity, which a trap could detect. Also, a spell trap could easily be made to spring on an etherial being as magic would be just as able to reach the nonphysical as the physical.

Hyrum Manwaring

President Hyrum Manwaring took over in 1930 during the Great Depression. The preceding decade had been one of uncertainty, and it continued that way during President Manwaring's administration, which lasted until 1944. Most schools owned by the Church were given to their respective states to administer, but the State of Idaho would not accept Ricks College. For ten years the college was in serious danger of closing. However, through the sacrifices of administration, faculty, and faithful Church members, the school remained open and became accredited.

Bzp Rpg: The Island Liberation Front

For more details and history, check the wiki page.

For the small village we have built at Lake Pala, see the map here.

For quests, see this blog post right here. Right now we don't have a courier service, so for role-playing reasons you should probably have your character ask for assistance in person as well.

If you want your character to appear on the list here, make sure to drop me a PM about it once your character has begun to join IC. :)

The Island Liberation Squad was formed to combat Makuta's presence on Mata Nui. The team has already marched into Le-Wahi and (after a few... minor setbacks) made their base by Lake Pala. It is a small camp consisting of one large HQ hut, a barracks with rooms for each member, and a blacksmith forge. The small, growing settlement is surrounded by walls made of stone and iron, courtesy of our local Toa of those elements. An electrified fence of sorts is also present. These small measures keep Rahi out, and makes Pala-Koro as safe for Matoran as other villages. If possible, "Pala-Koro" is meant to be expanded to accommodate more people and become a recognized village of its own.

The ILS's main goal is simple: Free the island. But in order to get there, we need supporters, and we must become a force to be reckoned with. The moment we grow large enough, Makuta will surely strike. Therefore, we must take slow steps, and not just concentrate our effort on one location. The ILS must gradually gain an influence across the entire island.

Therefore: The Quest Board. If someone needs help, we shall try and give it; no pay required as long as the mission is noble enough. Winning the people over with respect and gratitude - not might or fear - that is how the strongest alliances are formed. And then, we shall see where it goes...

How to join:

Applicants will just need to meet up with the group at its current location. Even if your character has never seen them before, just approach and ask (in character) what we are doing and we will most likely explain. That will give your character a plausible reason to ask to join.

If you don't want to join the team per se, you can still hang out at "Pala-Koro", no sweat. Get your character a hut to live in, or just trade items or buy stuff from our local blacksmith. Free for all. Do note: as good as all of us are warriors. You are advised not to cause trouble. This is a "friendly" project for everyone but those loyal to Makuta.

Note: If you want your character up here on this list, please send me a PM once you're in the process of joining. That makes it a lot easier for me in case I miss a post or there is uncertainty regarding the IC talk.

Member occupation:

Supreme leader: Madrihk
Deputy leaders: Vompran, Alfon, Kethrye, Ledzel
Blacksmith: Ackune
Doctor/medic: Verik

Current team belongings:

- A nice boat, carries up to 10 people. (Currently sealed in rock by the shore of Le-Wahi to prevent theft.)
- Two canoes, each for three persons. (Also sealed.)
- A large hut at Lake Pala, barracks for sleeping, a blacksmith's forge and a few other huts.
- The six Turaga, held in a hut for comfort and safety.
- A village with a smithy, some simple stone huts and big stone/iron walls with anti-elemental projectors within.

Current location:

- HQ: Lake Pala. (Island map here.)
- Village map. (Note: Somewhat outdated!)

Latest events:

- The ILS and all its allies have destroyed Le-Wahi's Nui-Rama hive in a large-scale battle. As good as every insect has been killed, and the hive itself has been burnt to the ground, leaving only a mysterious black stone in the center of the hive's former location.
- The missing Turaga, now altered by Makuta to have "Parakuka" attached to their backs, are currently being guarded in a stone hut in Pala-Koro. They woke up not too long ago, and appear to be doing fine.
- A Toa of Fire, Nemesis, impersonated one of the ILS's allies - Optimus - and set fire to the village. He was quickly incapacitated, however, and was subsequently killed. Several of the people performing the execution stepped out of line, however, and the resulting torturous display left a bad impression on several team members. Madrihk has officially stated that such a scene will not be repeated.
- Half the team left for Ko-Koro after a prompt from the Toa Aurel, in order to aid in rebuilding it. Once there, they saw a message from the Shadow Hapaka, which had taken several Ko-Matoran hostage. They are currently locked in negotiations by the Place of Shadow on the Ta-Wahi border. Vompran and Ledzel are left in Pala-Koro as deputy leaders.
- Pala-Koro was attacked by the Vortixx Vorasku's small group of warriors, but they never got past the walls before the remaining ILS members - along with some new allies and Toa Desilix, who had infiltrated the group - beat them down. Onyx hauled off a Parakuka-user to Doc Verik for examination.
- The village has been rebuilt with new and stronger defenses. Wooden huts have been replaced with stone, the outer wall has been padded. Anti-elemental devices have been installed in the wall, making elemental energy useless in a radius of 500 meters outside the village walls.

Current agenda:

- Strengthen defenses!
- Find out how to safely remove the Parakuka from the Turaga.
- Stake out Xa-Koro and expand the team in that direction.
- Investigate the black obelisk in the ruins of the Nui-Rama hive.

- The ILS and its allies are working together to free the island of Makuta's influence. As such they are at friendly terms with most other Makuta-opposed groups, and vice versa with the ones that support him.
- D is a murderer hunted by several people that may cause trouble for the rest of the team. Some of these hunters have already come and gone: Miraul and Divan are two, and they ended up at odds with the ILS at the time. Him, and eventually other amoral members of the ILS, are still accepted because they are now more than just criminals. They are making themselves useful in assisting the island at large.
- Madrihk has similar issues due to his past, though he is mostly known to Ko-Koronans. Zaveno, another Toa of Ice, looks very much like Madrihk and is out for revenge after Madrihk tried to frame him. After the successful assault on the Nui-Rama hive and the terrorist attacks on Ko-Koro, Madrihk hopes that any bad memory of them both are gone.
- Onyx, Alfon and Volin are brothers.
- Heuani is a Toa of Shadow and opposes the entire team by virtue of being Makuta's servant. He killed several warriors during the Hive Assault, and a lot of ILS members therefore harbors a personal grudge against him. Lately he showed up in person at Lake Pala to casually murder someone that was looking for him, cementing the need to increase defenses and hasten the progress of the ILS at large.

Just so you know, Katuko, your group will probably be building their new koro close to Jianheim-the estate of one of my characters, Keinju Sarusuma of Kuyre's Army. It's at Lake Pala and maintained solely by one caretaker matoran at the moment. However, if he ever returns...Well...All I can say is: I can't wait to see the reactions between Kuyre's Army and the ILS XD

@TX Wade 27: Typo fixed.

@The Fearless Leader: There's an estate there? Oh my, that would be interesting. Too bad Fallout has trained me (and certainly my evil character) to loot everything that's not nailed down or on fire, and possibly even that if someone's already done the former. If the Rahi attack we might just tear the place apart in the process too. :lol:

Of course, it could also be an opportunity to establish some new relations. Influence is going to be important here, I think...
    • 0
@Paragraph1 addressed to mine self: I was kinda guessing that xP

@P2: Of course. As well as numbers in general-of supplies, group members, etc. The fact that both groups share a dislike for Makuta will also be a factor, I suppose.

For some more extrapolation on my original post: Jianheim'll probably become a base for the army if it does manage to survive the preliminary entering the area by the ILS. I could always have him come back now (as he possibly could, being fast, having high endurance, and knowing his way around the island)...But then again, where's the fun in that? XP

Do note that I will be making the caretaker matoran a PC, however. In which case he might find the new arrivals due to living on the estate and be the first to greet them there. No guarantees on what kind of greeting he will give, though, especially considering that I haven't drawn up his personality yet.

We just might... "commandeer" the house and make it the base of the new village. Or we set it up further away and make that a trade outpost or something. Plans are forming, and they are wicked. :P

How about New Jianheim XD? Just kidding. Yeah, I think Pala Koro would be good.
    • 0
Yeah, you won't be able to call it 'New Jianheim' even if you want to...That'll be being built by the remnants of the army on its site (that is, if stockades are allowed).

Of course, they could always merge the two. I actually think Keinju will prefer that, considering it enhances both forces' power and defensive capabilities when attacked. Not to mention the bonuses of sharing elements, crops, and knowledge.

The Benefits Of Having Jumper Cables In Your Car

September 20, 2013 by
Filed under: Cable Management, Cables and Wires

jumper cablesThere is nothing worse than getting ready to go to work or for an important business meeting to find your vehicle has a flat battery. This happens all across the world to unsuspecting people who have to be somewhere in a hurry and can cause complications by making you late or making you miss your important meeting or deadline. That is where having a battery booster jumper cable in your vehicle at all times is beneficial.

What Are Jumper Cables?

For those who don’t know, jumper cables are specially designed cables which attach to your flat battery and connect the battery to another power source such as another fully running vehicle battery. These cables send an electric discharge from the live battery to the flat battery causing it to ignite and start to run again.

The Benefits Of Having A Deka Battery Booster/Jumper Cables In Your Car

Benefit #1 – Quick Jumpstarting: The most important advantage about having jumper cables in your car is that you are able to easily jumpstart your flat battery in a fast and efficient manner when there is another vehicle battery present. This allows you to easily get to work on time and can help to start your vehicle allowing for the battery to charge itself when you are driving.

Benefit #2 – High Quality Construction: Another advantage is that generally jumper cables provide a high quality and highly conductive construction which promotes optimal current transfer. Jumper cables such as the Deka Batter Booster Jumper Cables feature color-coded steel clamps along with copper connections which provide reliable current transfer from one battery to the other. They are also generally insulated with a thermoplastic elastomer which helps to provide safety for both you and the jumper cables when in use.

Benefit #3 – Versatility: Because these cables provide easy jumping of flat batteries, they are beneficial for use with almost any vehicle battery application. They can also provide easy use anywhere with their portable design, and can be installed fast and efficient with their easy to clip on connections.

Overall if you want to avoid being late for a meeting, job interview, or any other important schedule why not keep a trusty pair of jumper cables in your vehicle. You don’t know just when you might need them.

How old was your child (ren) when they found out Santa wasn't real?

  • My 7.5 year old informed me 2 years ago (he was 5.5) right before Christmas that he didn't believe and when I asked why he gave me a whole list of scientific reason why not. He is very analytic and we are not a family that believes in lying to their children to we have always been open about stuff. I asked him to simply not ruin the mystery for others like his sister. His sister is 5.5 now and I think she is beginning to not believe. Apparently my children were young though according to other parents in our area.

[5.0] "Tony Mamaluke was talented but his lack of size really hurt his credability. He filled out later on but he was always a really skinny chap. Though technically the guy was highly profiscient and knowledgable. He also was a good flyer and was fast as well... greased lightning. He took some sick bumps and was very entertaining overall. His skill alone made up for his lack of size. Though he never talked much so he never got points for being a talented talker."

Mamaluke is likeable and technically gifted star who found his niche in the Tag Team division (remember that? ! ) picking up meaningful title reigns in ECW and ROH. His chances of breaking out as a singles star seem to have passed, which is a shame... but his accomplishments are nothing to lament. A fond memory of semi-mainstream wrestling and a treat for today's indies."

Steroids in MMA
Which MMA Fighter Will Test Positive For Steroids Next?

Video Evidence: Maximo Blanco Zombifies Kiumu Kunioku at Sengoku 15

(The whole fight is worth watching, but if you’re in a hurry just go ahead and start at 6:30 for the good stuff. VidProps: MegaVideo)

When you have a name as epic as Maximo Blanco I guess you really have no choice but to be the kind of fighter who throws hands with reckless abandon and racks up highlight reel knockouts like they’re going out of style. If you fight primarily in Japan, it’s also OK to have your nickname be “Maxi” and your fighting exploits described as “Maxi Time!” despite what we in the west might see as the uncomfortably close proximity of that name to a certain brand of feminine hygiene products. Regardless, Blanco’s blockbuster knockout of Kiumu Kunioku from Sengoku 15 over the weekend is definitely a worth a watch.

The fight moves along at a pretty good clip for the first six-and-a-half minutes, until Blanco abruptly decides that it’s fuckin’ MAXI TIME. The current lightweight King of Pancrase drops Kunioku with a punch and follows it with a soccer kick that causes the Japanese veteran to snatch desperately for a single leg. Blanco spins free of it (doing sort of an atomic butt drop on Kunioku in the process) and then absolutely crushes him with an uppercut as he tries to stand. You know the rest: Strikes on the ground until the ref stops it while Michael Schiavello yells, “He almost decapitated him! It’s good night freaking Irene!” For once, the play-by-play shouter’s histrionics seem to fit the situation nicely.

For those of you scoring at home, this makes Blanco’s fifth consecutive win by some form of knockout. The 27-year-old Venezuelan prospect is a decorated international freestyle wrestler who came to MMA in 2008 and reportedly became something called a “Sengoku training player” in September of last year. From what I gather, that means that the company pretty much pays him to train and fight which, aside from being a serious goddamned conflict of interest, must be pretty sweet for Blanco, a dude who some say has a problem with following the rules.

At least one published report calls Blanco a “loose cannon” and refers to a “string of dominance and rule skirting” during his first few professional bouts. His first mixed fight – against Yuki Yashima in Pancrase – was declared a no contest after the two clashed heads while Blanco powerbombed his way out of a Yashima triangle choke and then allegedly wouldn’t stop punching (and stomping) his opponent as the ref tried to pull him off. Reports say something similar happened in his second fight with Hiroki Aoki and again in his third, when he nailed Daisuke Hanazawa with an illegal knee that almost ended the fight. In that bout, Hanazawa was able to come back and secure an arm bar for the victory. Additionally, Blanco lost a fight in May of 2009 after an illegal soccer kick on Akihiko Mori.

So, yeah, draw your own conclusion on what kind of fighter Blanco is, I guess. Reports of cheating aside, this string of consecutive knockouts is the kind of thing that could conceivably get a kid noticed by the UFC, if and when it ever decides to take its relentless campaign for global dominance to Japan. Or, for that matter, South America.

I can hear Dana now: “Wait, there’s a South America? Let’s fuckin’ go!”

I've always thought "Maximo Blanco" sounds like a brand of high-powered tequila.

Also, Kunioku's record is 34-24-9. So yeah, he's pretty much a can.
WalksInTheDarkness- October 30, 2010 at 6:31 pm
And a cage is great for holding people against ask Nick Lentz and Randy Couture (and Frank Mir in his most recent fight), hence the tactic of wall and stall which is virtually impossible in a cage.

The closest there has ever come to a perfect fighting surface is the Yamma...
Peetee- October 30, 2010 at 4:48 pm
So he trains striking with maxi pads..?
Mr_Misanthropy- October 30, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Diving purposely through the ropes to force a restart and avoid getting punched directly in the head and arms? Also ridiculous.
Null Kuhl- October 30, 2010 at 2:41 pm
This fight is an absolutely perfect example of why MMA fights should never take place in a ring. Rings are great for boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, etc, but completely worthless for MMA. I hate all the restarts, and punching somebody when their head and arms are through the ropes? Ridiculous...
numbnuts- October 30, 2010 at 2:06 pm
He used his Gluteus Maximus (AKA his ass) to push his head down before the big uppercut. I think that si why he calls himself Maximo
Mr_Misanthropy- October 30, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Of course Dana knows about Brazil. How do you think he gets the last scraggily tufts of hair that cling to his shiny bald head and other random parts of his body removed for that silky smooth feel and shiny reflective luster? BRAZILian wax fuckers.

Michael Schiavello should go back to sticking his thumb directly in the butthole of Crocodiles. "Oy! We guttah biggun heeyah! Aftah aye steck me thumb dee-rectly in his bunghole it'sa GOOOOOOOD NIGHT IIIIIIIIRENE!"
MoTropolis- October 30, 2010 at 11:29 am
That was fuckin epic. It looked like the offensive version of the ballet Brock performed during the Velasquez fight.
Fried Taco- October 30, 2010 at 10:28 am
Give Dana a break, he just recently discovered Mexico. It will be awhile before he notices anything south of that. (Dana keeps asking "Where do all these Brazilian dudes come from? And why don't they have wrestling there?")

All right, this is a call to those cakecentral addicts out there who either have burning questions, or tons of tips about buttercream.

I am putting together an article, the title will be
"Everything you ever wanted to know about buttercream"

I want to compile a list of tips, recipes pros/cons, and most frequently asked questions when it comes to buttercream.
Obviously this article could easily grow to over a mile long, so for now I just want to include the most popular info, then as it grows we can break it off into several different articles.

This will be a "living" article, in that I will add new important tips or answers to questions in it as they come in.

Just post a thread with photos, comments or questions that you think are important and that you think should be inlcuded. Whether you agree or disagree, you are a pro, or just getting your feet wet! icon_smile.gif

Each tidbit of info that gets used in the article will be credited to the user(s) that submitted it.

Good topic. My tip is to add your thinning liquid to your buttercream icing a little at a time until you get the consistency you are looking for. Just because a recipe calls for a certain amount of liquid you may need less or more.

ilithiya Posted 1 Apr 2005 , 1:53am
post #3 of

Mine would be that a stiff putty/spackle knife (3"-4") is much easier to use for smoothing the sides of cakes and to make sure that there's a good, sharp edge on the bottom of the cake where it meets the board. (The rounded tips of the spatulas somehow leave ridges or indents, IME.)

Thanks Jackie...cause for me ,buttercream is a mystery.

Good idea. Like, there are those who use milk vs. those who use water...which is the best? Can't wait to read what other's input will be. This will be the "Ultimate Addict" article! :0

post #6 of

Jackie I think this is going to be a great article. I think it should include both a crusting recipe and one that doesn't crust. It will be hard to decide what recipes to include since everyone has their favorites. Maybe just basic recipes with notations on substitutions.

Smoothing/patterning with paper towels should also be included. I count that as one of the most valuable tips I ever picked up on.

It would also be great to have some sort of standard chart for flavor mixing. Like what and how much to add to get certain flavors. I wonder if there is already one out there somewhere on the web. I've never thought to look but I'd love to have a chart like that.

ilithiya Posted 1 Apr 2005 , 3:01am
post #7 of

Lisa: I've noticed that a 1/4 tsp of LorAnn oils in a 6 or 7 cup BC recipe is jsut about right (after cutting the butter and vanilla flavorings in half, which should be kept for the depth of flavor, imho).

I don't think there's a flavoring chart anywhere. Are you talking about mixing for recipes, or how much to add to the recipe?

I looked and couldn't find one icon_sad.gif . Maybe one of my books has one in it. What I was thinking of was a chart that took your standard buttercream recipe and listed lots of variations you could make. Everything from almond to chocolate to citrus, coconut and everything in between. Chocolate/peanut butter is really good and apricot (made with apricot nectar). I thought it might be a useful thing to have an easy-to-read chart to tell you how to get all those great flavors.

The more I think about it though, the more I wonder if it's even possible to create a standard chart for lots of different flavors. The recipes may be too different. I don't know...something to think about.

Hi Lisa! I am not sure if you are looking for a oil flavoring chart, if you were, I came across a web site: http://www.candylandcrafts.com/Oils_Flavorings.htm check out the site and see if that is what you were looking for or had an interest. icon_smile.gif

I don't know why I'm always thinking of doing things the hard way. Here I am thinking about flavoring buttercream with cocoa powder, zests, juices, etc. I had no idea that LorAnn made so many flavors. I think this should be mentioned in the article if there is a section on flavoring buttercream. Thanks 2cakes and ilithiya for pointing this out icon_smile.gif .

cakelady1994 Posted 1 Apr 2005 , 6:29am

hi.has anyone ever tryed using heavy whipping in there buttercream icing.i use about 1/4 cup to my butter and crisco mix then add my powdered sugar.this cuts down on the sweet taste and it forms a good crumb coat . thumbs_up.gif

ilithiya Posted 1 Apr 2005 , 7:24am

About flavor combos for buttercreams: Maybe Jackie would be willing to put a sticky in the Recipe Tips forum for that? I have a nice handful that I'd be willing to share. icon_smile.gif

AgentCakeBaker Posted 1 Apr 2005 , 5:38pm

I think storage of buttercream icing should be included in the article as well. I'm often confused with the storage of buttercream icing when there are so many different recipes out there. Examples are can you store buttercream icing at room temperature in an airtight container if recipe used milk and butter, coffee creamer and butter, etc.

I also agree with Illy on information regarding flavor combos for buttercreams. I would like to know about different flavors to use to make a better buttercream icing.

montanakate Posted 4 Apr 2005 , 3:53pm

I think it would be helpful to have tips on how to get buttercream really smooth, not just smoothing on the cake but the frosting itself. You know, like no air bubbles in the frosting.

cindycakes2 Posted 18 Apr 2005 , 5:59pm

The best tip I learned about buttercream icing was how to ice and smooth. Using the icing tip to place icing on the cake, then using a long smoothing spatula to even the icing out. After letting it sit for about 10-15 minutes, I then use VIVA paper towels to smooth the icing out. I get great results with this, even if I have to patch and repair when I am setting up a wedding cake. This could be another good section on buttercream.....how to patch and repair. I can't wait to read all the tips!

Jennkrem Posted 19 Apr 2005 , 8:28pm

2cakes Posted 19 Apr 2005 , 9:15pm

Hi Lisa! You are quite welcome, sorry it took me too long getting back to you. If I only can get out of the kitchen, I would probably be able to respond back quickly, lol

cakemommy Posted 19 Apr 2005 , 10:33pm

This is going to be a great new article!!! One technique I'd like to add is smoothing buttercream with tule! This is the technique I used for my wedding cakes. Just let the icing crust then place a small (maybe 6inx6in) piece of tule on your cake and smooth with a long angled spatula. When the tule gets buttercream crust on it you can wet your tule and shake it really hard to get the excess water off and then start again. Just be sure to NOT let the tule get wrinkled!!!!!!

ntertayneme Posted 21 Apr 2005 , 7:45pm

I too use the Viva paper towel method to smooth my icing. I've tried the spatula dipped in hot water; I've tried spraying the cake with a fine mist of water to smooth, but the only method that I find to be tried and true is the Viva paper towel method. It smoothes the cake so much better to me. You can also use the paper towel method to round your top edges of your cakes some to get more of a contour look to your cakes. To me, it almost has a fondant appearance if smoothed well. icon_smile.gif

momof3jotynjake Posted 27 Apr 2005 , 4:50am

What about them Air bubbles in the BC.. what is the cause of that?

flayvurdfun Posted 27 Apr 2005 , 8:44am

How about 'How long does buttercream last if in the refridgerator"

AngelWendy Posted 27 Apr 2005 , 12:08pm

It seems to stay good in the fridge about 2 weeks, Flayvurdfun. After that it starts to smell a bit off, and by the 4th week or more, it's time to toss it. Just my experience, YMMV!

MariaLovesCakes Posted 1 Jul 2005 , 9:01pm

In my humble opinion:

Buttercream with only Crisco is best for birthday cakes that need a lot of work like characters and stuff.

Also, this type of buttercream is also good for weddings because in case they have to sit out in the heat for a few hours, Crisco stands and holds much better than butter based icings.

Buttercream with part Crisco and part butter is best for cakes that are not intended to be in the heat very long and for more delicate cakes like Mother's day, Father's day, anniversary, etc...

I like Swiss Buttercream and am experimenting with French buttercream because of their silky texture... However, I am still trying to master in making the icing whiter... I will probably buy Wilton's white color to add to the icing to see if it works...

Bubbles Posted 1 Jul 2005 , 9:42pm

Maybe the article could include a section on what consistance works best for different flowers, borders, writing ect. When I first started decorating cakes, I think I was always using to stiff of icing.

AKS Posted 5 Jul 2005 , 4:10am

definitive answers to using egg yolks/whites in b'cream (IMBC and SMBC). When you heat yolks in the double boiler, does that make it safe for consumption? What about the length of time you can leave b'cream out for? I think safety issues are very important, as well as coloring hints such as getting red, black, and the other hard-to-tint colors. Thanks.

KayDay Posted 5 Jul 2005 , 4:20am

I couldnt make it w/o my viva paper towels

sheilaattaway Posted 5 Jul 2005 , 5:14pm

Has anyone tried the upside down trick in the articles. It is the best ever. I have a hard time spreading butter cream evenly, i hate not having a perfect, smooth cake. This is the best trick ever. Everyone should try it.

niki_10 Posted 7 Jul 2005 , 1:06am

I also just learned that you shouldn't use the whisk attachement to whip up the frosting. You use the paddle attachement on a low setting. I was using the whisk attachement on the highest setting thinking that was best. No wonder I had air bubblkes. icon_rolleyes.gif

Another thing I learned was that Italian Meringue Buttercreams taste a million times better but do not work on a hot day.
This recipe is princess.gif DIVINE princess.gif , but won't hold up outside of the fridge What's is the trick??

This will be a great article. Thanks!!

LemonLyme Posted 7 Jul 2005 , 1:35am

Hi everyone,
what an interesting topic ...buttercream icing.
Cakelady1994 I've tried the heavy whipping cream in my icing and yes it certainly cuts the sweetness factor down considerably.
But I use cream cheese and mix it like i'd do a buttercream recipe as if I were using crisco.
I've done the water method and the heavy cream method in the fats mixture. personally i like the heavy cream for birthday cakes since they're consumed much quicker .. weddiing cakes i do use the water with crisco buttercream method.
It's all fun to me trying new ways of doing icings.
I even tried a bit of lemon juice in a recipe and someone swore it added an extra richness to the flavor of the icing.
I think what we need is a "sturdy" butter that can withstand the mixiing process and heat and not break down as fast since butter has a little more water.
but i guess " less is more".
I can't wait to read what other have to post on this topic.

Cackalacky Bottle Cake

This was a sweet potato cake made to celebrate the 10th anniversary of a friend's spice sauce (Cackalacky). The bottle was covered with fondant, then painted to look like sauce. The label was a Wiltons sugar sheet with fondant for the white and orange. Thanks for looking.

Sorry I Peed on You Book: MSN's resident parenting blogger Jeremy Greenberg, who also travels the world performing stand-up comedy, combines cute, informative letters from 50 precocious toddlers with accompanying full-color photographs inside Sorry I Peed on You (and Other Heartwarming Letters to Mommy). Finally, we can hear "first person" how a kid really isn't fooled by broccoli buried in cheese, how he'd really appreciate it if he could start going down the slide by himself, or how he'd like to apologize for peeing on you during the two seconds it took for you to reach for a fresh diaper. From Daddy's latest four-letter vocab lessons to the dog's (not the toddler's) repeated milk dribbles on the carpet, this hilarious book answers a question every mother of a toddler wants to know: What in the world are they thinking?!

What does it mean to be a California Closet franchise owner?

Being a franchise owner of California Closets means...

"Having a close relationship with our customers. We are governed exclusively by common sense and doing the right thing. The result of this approach has been a level confidence that all of our employees have when it comes to the customer. Many times, we have had to uninstall a complete system, re-design it and re-install a new one. Some 90% of these customers have purchased from us again.

Maintaining a strong team that is the "best and the brightest" in the industry. We have put considerable time and effort in finding quality people and orienting them effectively to this type of culture -- the culture of respect, responsible communication, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

Being there for everything: the beginning, the middle, and the end of all transactions and transitions, which gives me a huge level of professional and personal satisfaction."
