Preheat the broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Combine 1/4 cup yogurt with the tandoori paste in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Set aside for 10 minutes. Toss the grated cucumber with 1/4 tsp salt in a colander; set aside to drain.
Butter the naan on one side and sprinkle with the garam masala. Place on one of the baking sheets and broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Arrange the chicken on the other baking sheet and broil until cooked through and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then chop.
While the chicken cooks,squeeze the cucumber with your hands to remove the excess moisture. Mix the cucumber with the herbs, lemon juice, remaining 3/4 cup yogurt and 1 tbsp water; season with salt and pepper.

Si svolse il 25 e 26 luglio 1959 a Kristianstad (anziché a Hedemora come l'anno precedente, per motivi d'ordine pubblico). Erano in programma le classi 125, 250 e 350 (la 125 si svolse sabato 25, le restanti classi domenica 26).

Vittoria per Tarquinio Provini in volata su Carlo Ubbiali in 125.

In 250 Gary Hocking approfittò del ritiro di Provini, suo diretto avversario, per aggiudicarsi la gara (prima vittoria in carriera per il rhodesiano).

La 350 vide l'usuale vittoria di John Surtees, che si laureò Campione del Mondo della categoria.

Il 26 svolse anche una gara della 500 secondo il regolamento Formula 1 (modelli prodotti in almeno 25 esemplari) non valida per il Mondiale, vinta da Bob Brown.

LEGO Legends of Chima 3DS Game Review
So right before I went to my two week / two LEGO Convention trip I picked up a copy of the LEGO Legends of Chima 3DS video game. I figured it would be a good plane ride and airport game to do while I was traveling cross country.
*Start Rant*
There's only one problem, I don't really like Legends of Chima — at all. Don't get me wrong, I like the parts. All that lovely bright orange and olive green is awesome. I just don't like the theme. I suppose if I was 8 or 10 I might be interested, but most likely not. The story line is weak at best, and a little disturbing at most. I mean think about it. There's all these different animal tribes in this magical land that all get hopped up on "Chi" and fight each other.
No, not the energy force from Chinese culture. The lack of cultural respect that LEGO has a tendency to run right over on occasion has always bothered me. They don't even change spelling they just go with it — Sensei Wu (a mixture of Japanese and Chinese names) is just one example. The Māori language controversy of the original Bionicle wave is another.
So back to Chima. The main character looks a lot like Lion-O from Thundercats, a show I actually did like watching when it originally came out in the 80s (of course I was like 8 when it came out). And according to the first episode of the TV show Lavel (the lion) and Cragger (the crocodile) were friends until Cragger took a Chi ball before he was ready for it and it results in misunderstanding and the loss of Cragger's parents which in turn causes a war in the "peaceful" land of Chima.
And that's where the video game comes in. I had read another's review that said the game was a weak addition to the LEGO TT Games line as it couldn't hold up without a licensed theme like Star Wars, Indiana Jones or Harry Potter.
Now I wasn't expecting an epic game, far from it. The fact that it is only available on 3DS, DS, and PSP Vita shows that they didn't put as much effort into the game like the much anticipated LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game coming out later this year.
And the addition of talking, which was a definite plus in the LEGO Batman 2 game, is just plain distracting here. The most annoying thing is that you can't bypass it. You have to listen (or not listen if you turn the volume down) to the cheesy commentary that goes on and on, all the time.
Well even though its been a week and a half after my trip, I finally beat the story version of the game last night. Playing the game felt rather like a chore. The game-play is the same — break things, fight bad guys, get through levels. But because the constant collecting of Chi, you don't get to collect the hearts (life energy) as much. And when you have a full circle of Chi, you can power-up. Sometimes you have to power-up so that you can get to the next part of the game. So you're constantly looking for Chi and Chi vents. (Kind of like an addict.)
One thing I though that was really weird was they never use those Speedor bike things in the game. In fact there's only one part near the end of the game (slight spoiler) where you build one but it immediately crashes and revels a character disk. You'd think that something that is so prevalent in half the sets would be more in the game.
Was it fun? Sort of. There were fun elements, but I actually had to cheat with a couple walkthrough tips or I wouldn't have been able to get past certain areas. Maybe I could have muddled through eventually, but I didn't have patience for it.
Will I be playing the free play mode? Not for a while. I've had my fill of Chima and all its silliness. Would a kid like it? Probably. I've loved all the LEGO Games so far, but this one fell flat. *End Rant*

TT Games Announces Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars
It's official, there will soon be a third LEGO Star Wars Video Game.
Based on the popular Cartoon Network animated TV series. The game is set for Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PSP, DS, and PC this fall. The company promises characters from both seasons of the series, along with cameos from the movie characters. TT is working to make this game an improvement over previous installments with an enhanced level builder, Jedi and Separatist factions, and new attacks and abilities.
"LucasArts is an amazing partner, and working with them on the next iteration of the Lego Star Wars continues to be a great experience," said TT Games director Tom Stone in the press release. "The team at TT is working hard at making this simply the best Lego game ever with all new gameplay and features never before seen in a Lego game."

Now although Clone Wars isn't my most favorite of the Star Wars universe, I'm always a fan of the Traveler's Tales LEGO Video Games. 🙂
Of course, I'm falling a tad behind on the games, since I've yet to get a PS3, Wii or Xbox. But I'll catch up one of these days. 😉

While being trapped in a wheelchair, permanently or temporarily, is not a walk in the park, things don't need to finish for the person in question. You can still live a relatively normal life, and we must acknowledge that a wheelchair provides you a part of your liberty back. It would have been worse if there weren't wheelchairs in any respect. However, lucky for many individuals, they exist, and they have the potential of creating your life more bearable. Additionally, as technology progressed, wheelchairs are becoming better and better in providing freedom and support, so let's take a moment and be thankful for it.
Certainly there are enough areas in Arvada, CO from where you can lease a wheelchair. However, I do not believe that is the best thought. It's best to get a wheelchair for a number of factors. If you don't understand what I am talking about, here are a couple explanations for why wheelchair rental is inferior to buying one.
This is a waste of cash — leasing a wheelchair in Arvada, CO may not appear expensive at first, but if the bill climbs up, you might end up regretting not buying one in the first location. The business that rents wheelchairs will probably request a first charge, and you'll be charged periodically, based on how long you need the chair for. In addition, remember about pick-up and delivery. Why would you spend all that cash as soon as you're able to purchase one for yourself? If you keep it correctly, after you are done with it, then you are able to resell it at a good price. If you need a wheelchair to a more permanent basis, rental is out of the question, however, you see my point.
What you need might not be available — because you can imagine, there are many kinds of wheelchairs, along with your condition may take a particular kind. However, the wheelchair leasing firm might not have everything you need in stock, so you are going to end up in a chair which is not recommended for you. Your only solution is to take what it is given, and that could be awful for you. However, if you get a new wheelchair, then you can choose precisely what you need, and everyone is happy. Keep in mind that your comfort and stability would be your number one priority. It can prove to be inconvenient to settle for something you don't require. For example, let us say that you need a wheelchair using fixed armrests, but the leasing company doesn't have one in inventory. What do you really do? Nothing, because you don't have any options.
You won't receive a brand new wheelchair — automobile leasing businesses supply chairs for everybody, so if anybody breaks you, it is going to be 'adjusted' and put back in stock. However, some damages can't be undone, and you might wake up having a busted chair. It might not be severe, but a bent wheel can be extremely inconvenient. You don't wish for this, do you? A new seat has its own integrity intact, and that's exactly what you need to want for. After all, using something which someone else broke shouldn't be an option for you.
You may lose your deposit — when you select wheelchair rental, you can lose your deposit in the smallest scratch. Accidents happen, and if they do using a rented chair, you will need to pay for it one way or another. Who needs that stress?
The reasons mentioned above are only the tip of the iceberg, and surely you will find more. That is why I think it is better if you buy a wheelchair and forget everything about auto rental.
Anyone who is looking for a wheelchair in Arvada, CO is concerned about the cost. The wheelchair cost is something that could determine whether you will purchase a particular thing or not. 1 thing is for sure, though. Rates may fluctuate from 80$ (the simple ones) into 12.000$ (the ones that could lift you up.) Everybody will pick according to budget, however, quality is just as important as everything else.
Most people in Arvada, CO prevent spending too much money on a cubicle. That's unless they can easily manage it. But while you can find high-quality wheelchairs that cost a couple hundred bucks, spending over a thousand dollars can bring you several benefits like elevating footrests, or even an electric wheelchair which can enable you to get up this mountain. The point is that the more you invest, the more advantages you can enjoy. After all, the wheelchair is the way to liberty. It is not the second to become a cheapskate.
Many of you who are searching for the ideal wheelchair ought to know that weight is significant. The wheelchair weight can determine how easy you go around. Another factor you need to consider is how much you're going to move. In case you've got work, as an example, you might need to move a long time, meaning a hefty wheelchair will make that a little bit difficult for you, particularly in case you plan on with no help.
The wheelchair weight is dictated by the materials used for its construction. Lucky for you, there are lightweight materials out there that may be as durable as possible. Take aluminum, for instance. It's a tough metal, but very lightweight. Hybrids are also an option, but they're somewhat pricey. Alloys, on the other hand, are among the cheapest materials. Finally, the choice is yours, and you may base your choice depending upon your budget. However, do not forget that wheelchair weight is something that you need to keep in mind before buying a particular product. In the end, you're the one who will push it around all day long.
Foam cushions — they're the most commonly bought because they are the cheapest. While regular foam is comparatively comfortable, my advice would be to go with memory foam if you are looking for a reasonable solution. High-density foams will continue to keep their shape for longer, they will take the shape of your entire body, and so much as comfort goes, you will enjoy plenty. On the other hand, the disadvantage with cushioned cushions is that they wear fairly fast, and you'll have to purchase a new one pretty soon.
Gel cushions — Just as its name suggests, a gel cushion is made up of foam base and a gel bladder at the center. People who have used foam and gel state that gel cushions are far better for pressure sores, which is something that each wheelchair user needs. Moreover, gel is intended to assist you with maintaining a healthy position, and you will be pain-free on your lower back and tailbone. On the other hand, exactly like anything else, there is a drawback to this sort of cushions also. Gel bottoms-out, but kneading the pillow once daily can stop that from occurring anytime soon.
Air flotation cushion — In case you do not understand what that is, allow me to inform you. An air flotation pillow is composed of a certain number of balloons that inflate to keep you at a comfortable and healthful position. You have the chance of adjusting the stress points by tying a few balloons to stop them from inflating. The only drawback of the sort of cushions will be upkeep. After all, we're talking about balloons. They could escape air, and you need to fix that when and if it occurs.
Urethane honeycomb — this is the best that you can get, however urethane honeycomb futon cushions are quite pricey. The pillow is constructed of many individual cells which may provide exceptional support. The air circulates inside the pillow effortlessly, which heightens the chance of heat retention. As far as wheelchair cushions go, urethane honeycomb is the very best money can purchase.
Only a person who is bound to a wheelchair can understand the importance of a wheelchair ramp. The lack of access is a true obstacle for a handicapped individual, which is the reason why it is a great thing that most public spaces are obligated by law to set up wheelchair ramps. Nonetheless, you have to set up one in your home as well.
I am positive that you could find many shops in Arvada, CO that sell wheelchair ramps. Lucky for you, they are not so pricey, however you need someone to install it. Nonetheless, make sure that you choose the wheelchair ramp incline you're familiar with. You don't want the angle to be too high because that is likely to make the climb tough for you. An angle that's too low is not good either because it occupies too much space. I guess that the perfect wheelchair ramp slope is dependent on the individual and his or her body strength. Just remember to consider it once you purchase your ramp.
Keeping your wheelchair properly is among the things you must concern yourself with. The better you maintain the chair, the more long-lasting it'll be. If you don't use it, then ensure that the wheelchair is kept in a clean and dry place. However, you could always buy a wheelchair cover to assist with that. It's not costly, and it'll keep your chair tidy.
The ability to move from point A to point B is yet another important facet. Just because you're in a wheelchair does not imply that you can move just around your house or neighborhood. Lucky for you, there are a couple of things you may try. For one, you may use a wheelchair van. It's an elevating system which can make entering and exiting the vehicle relatively easy. Such a vehicle might be a bit expensive, but it will help you with your mobility on long distances. You're able to go out and interact more. It will keep you away from depression.
Also, if you like to travel regardless of your disability, you can use a wheelchair RV. It is pretty much exactly the exact same since the automobile van, but rather than a car, you receive an RV. You can travel anywhere you want, and you receive the help you want to get in and outside of their motor vehicle. A wheelchair RV is definitely the best way of traveling for a disabled person.
Surviving isn't living, so remember to delight in everything on your daily life. There are a lot of means of entertaining you can test out. It's possible to occupy a hobby or play a sport. Were you aware that you can play with wheelchair football? It resembles regular football, except that you'll be moving the ball in your own wheels. You ought to think about it.
If wheelchair football isn't your cup of tea, it is possible to combine a wheelchair basketball team. Certainly you will find a few roughly Arvada, CO. Their sport events are fun, and you'll be able to appreciate yourself a wonderful deal. And of course that you get to work out. What you want to keep in mind is that it is possible to keep yourself amused. All you have to do is find some tasks for handicapped people in Arvada, CO and combine.
Wheelchairs are not complex, and once you get the hang of your seat, it will become to be an extension of the body. However, bear in mind these things: avoid wheelchair rental, compare the prices, and head the wheelchair weight. At exactly the same time, do not forget about the glider accessories, and end up an excellent way of transportation. And as always, remember to enjoy every single day of your life. If you cannot change something, then you should be wise enough to accept it and make the best of this. You will be happier for this. That I can assure.

Up for sale is an excellent 1979 Ouachita 12 foot semi v hull aluminum boat.. Has been a great smaller sized boat for me for years with no leaks and in good shape! I needed to purchase a bigger boat for some of the lakes I fish.
The trailer is a 1971 Shipman Trailer... New tires along with the spare tire. The wiring at the front of the boat needs be redone along with the rear trailer light case (has a small crack). Both are simple fixes. Will not cost much to repair. There also is a new winch. The carpeting can last you a few more seasons of boating. I would personally say to replace the wood underneath the carpeting at the bow of the boat. It's starting to get weak.
The engine is a 1954 Montgomery Ward (model # 54-GG-9011) will need a tune up. It turns over but has not been started in a long time.
Any questions feel free to email me. Boat and the contents are sold as is. A very nice combo for the price.

Oklahoma City showed how to transition to two-way streets downtown
Steve Lackmeyer
Guest column: Decades ago, an experiment to add one-way streets nearly destroyed downtown Oklahoma City. So, they got rid of them.
Oklahoma City, a sprawling 621-square-mile city, was in the midst of a multi-billion dollar reinvention at the start of the 21st century and yet it was still topping some very undesirable lists.
The least fit city. Least walkable. It was enough for newly elected Mayor Mick Cornett in 2008 to reach out to an up-and-coming author and planner, Jeff Speck, to see what Oklahoma City was doing wrong and come up with a list of fixes.
His report included a critique of downtown streets, so many of which were still one-way corridors that had long intimidated visitors and locals. And as part of covering response to the report, a photographer with The Oklahoman was dispatched to get a shot of the street deemed worst by Speck – Hudson Avenue.
The street between City Hall and the Oklahoma County Courthouse wasn't just six lanes wide. These were 12-foot-wide lanes, the sort of dimension reserved for highways. And it was a one-way street, though traffic volume, Speck noted, didn't seem to support Hudson being a one-way street or other corridor remaining one-way.
It was on this street that the photographer snapped a shot of several people, including a woman in a wheelchair and children darting through traffic trying to cross the six-lane, one-way Hudson Avenue.
"The jaw dropper for me is the city's traffic count map," Speck said. "If you walk the city, and you look at the streets, you would think because of the size of the streets that traffic is two to three times what is actually experienced. There is a shocking disconnect between the size and speediness of all of your downtown streets with a few rare exceptions."
Oklahoma City was not initially designed to end up this way.
Oklahoma City is unlike any other city in America. A gunshot on April 22, 1889, set up a famous land rush that hours later ended up with creation of a city of 10,000.
City fathers then designed a street grid and pursued development based on trolley lines that were built not just throughout the young community but also to distant towns that decades later are Oklahoma City suburbs.
The transformation of a city built on public transit to a sprawling 621 miles where cars were prioritized without question over pedestrians can be traced back to a years-long effort to impose one-way streets on downtown.
A Stanley Steamer bought by a local banker in 1903 was the first car to hit city streets and just a dozen years later Henry Ford was building a Model T assembly plant on the west side of downtown.
Vehicles quickly took over in Oklahoma City, as they did elsewhere. By 1938, consultants and engineers were already pushing for conversion of some key downtown streets to one-way traffic. Business and property owners fought back and won. But the battle wasn't over.
The streetcars, succumbing to age and lack of investment, were yanked off the streets in 1947. The out-of-state operators, who took over the streetcars from the city fathers who started the operation, switched to a bus fleet and insisted one-way streets were key to making bus transit a successful replacement.
Protesters again argued one-way streets would increase confusion and accidents and damage businesses.
But this time, they faced a popular mayor, Allen Street, who teamed up with powerful newspaper publisher, E.K. Gaylord, to force through what was initially promoted as a "temporary" experiment.
The city was represented by Illinois traffic planner George W. Barton, who called all the protesters' claims untrue and responded; "No auditor's statements have been presented to support the claims that merchants in Fort Worth, Dallas or Little Rock lost business."
Gaylord, publisher of The Daily Oklahoman, pointed to all the major steps of progress in Oklahoma City that had been achieved only after bitter fights.
"Oklahoma City must go ahead,"' Gaylord said. "We have 80,000 cars here now and we will have another 5,000 cars in the next five years as soon as they become available. If we don't relieve the traffic condition downtown businesses will move out."
The city council, following the lead by Mayor Street, approved what was to be a 90-day experiment.
The hit along Hudson Avenue, one of the first converted streets, was immediate. A bakery owner warned her business was experiencing a devastating drop in business. C.C. Kuhn, zone manager for Safeway, said the chain's store on Hudson experienced a "marked" drop in business.
"We don't know how far it can go but we are watching the situation very carefully," Kuhn said. "We depended a lot on the business received from workers going home at night which we don't get anymore."
The experiment never ended, and the one-way streets, combined with the advent of suburban malls with free parking, killed off the retailers, restaurants, theaters and businesses that made downtown vibrant.
Traffic counts on the one-way streets plunged in the 1970s as highways were cut through the south and east fringe of downtown. Yet, for the most part, the one-way streets were maintained.
By the centennial of the city's birth, the city council itself admitted they had made a series of mistakes — the abandonment of streetcars, the advent of one-way streets, the destruction of an aggressive urban renewal program — and that those choices had laid waste to downtown Oklahoma City.
Wide one-way streets were lined with surface and structured parking, empty old storefronts and superblocks lined with office buildings.
"Downtown is dead and we helped kill it," Councilman I.G. Purser declared. "There is no major retail, no major attraction and no place to eat."
Thirty years after that admission, downtown Oklahoma City is thriving, home to major retail, restaurants, live music, hotels, attractions, parks and a population of several thousand living in new homes and apartments.
A series of initiatives called Metropolitan Area Projects, a pay-as-you-go penny sales tax, led to creation of an NBA-ready arena, a riverwalk, minor league ballpark, library and a massive overhaul of downtown's performing arts hall.
But it took a bombing to get rid of the one-way streets.
Long before Interstate 40 cut an east-west path through the southern fringe of downtown, a pair of east-west streets, NW 5 and NW 6, were turned into one-way corridors. And when the interstate opened, NW 5 and NW 6 remained lightly traveled six-lane-wide one-way corridors.
When Timothy McVeigh bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, he also left a huge crater in NW 5.
Those wishing to build a memorial to the 168 killed and to those who survived proposed closing the street for good. City engineer Paul Brum, a powerful presence at City Hall, fought back, arguing maintaining the one-way corridor was a matter of public safety. He ended up being narrowly overruled by the city's traffic commission.
Brum's next idea was to offset the loss of NW 5 as a one-way corridor by turning NW 4 into a one-way corridor. Brum correctly predicted downtown was about to go through a growth spurt, but he failed to understand such growth could occur without wide one-way corridors.
"Anytime you have a two-way, you have people backed up making left turns," Brum argued. "When you have a lot of traffic, then that creates problems."
The NW 4 conversion also went nowhere, and this second loss proved to be the beginning a long demise of one-way streets throughout downtown. The closed block of NW 5 was turned into a reflecting pool book-ended by the now iconic "Gates of Time" marking the time before and after the bombing.
When NW 5 was turned into a two-way street, the city followed through with making NW 6 a two-way corridor as well. The predicted traffic jams did not follow.
The Oklahoma City Council, no longer in lock step with the still powerful city engineer, requested city staff in 1999 to pursue conversion of more one-way streets to two-way traffic. That work did not proceed and wasn't even started until a new public works director was hired in 2005.
By this time, bond funding had been approved for the streetscaping of Walker Avenue, the same street targeted for a one-way conversion back in 1938. Designs, completed before Brum retired, called for the street to remain a one-way corridor.
The street, Brum said, simply couldn't function safely as a two-way street with one lane each way. Meanwhile, Cornett had begun looking at how to tackle one study after another that declared Oklahoma City was among the least fit in the country and most hostile for pedestrians.
Cornett visited several times with Jeff Speck, a planner and author gaining acclaim for his book "Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream." Those visits led to Cornett bringing Speck to Oklahoma City, where he was hired to compile an honest analysis of what ailed the city and how to fix it.
Cornett brought Speck to Oklahoma City and in 2008 he was commissioned to do an analysis of the city's streets and sidewalks and how to improve public health and walkability. The next Metropolitan Area Projects initiative passed by voters included funding to build up to 36 miles of sidewalks while also aggressively expanding the city's trail system.
Speck's recommendations for downtown laid part of the premise for his next book, 2012's "Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time."
Not only were the one-way streets too wide, the lane widths were more appropriate for cars traveling at highway speeds. Hudson Avenue was especially bewildering, ranging from five to six lanes wide, a design dating back to when a shopping mall was planned (but never built) at the corner of Hudson and Sheridan Avenues.
Speck showed the downtown street configurations to traffic engineers outside the state and their first response was to guess the street grid was set up for a downtown density and traffic volume comparable to Chicago or Manhattan.
"They said this is a street network that will support three to four times the density it is handling," Speck told the mayor and council. "Then you look at the traffic counts, and only a few carrying 10,000 a day. And 10,000 cars a day is easily handled by a two-lane road."
Speck's report coincided with announcement by Devon Energy that it was preparing to build a 50-story headquarters where city leaders had spent 20 years trying to turn into a suburban style "Galleria" mall.
In an unusual move, the company's co-founder, Larry Nichols, requested a $115 million tax increment finance (TIF) district — not for the headquarters but instead to make streets and sidewalks friendlier and safer for pedestrians.
A lack of funding could no longer be used as a reason not to convert all one-way downtown streets and reduce lane widths. City engineers, however, still resisted and planned to retain short one-way stretches of Walker and Hudson Avenues claiming they were short of needed traffic lights even with the TIF funding.
After some digging and questioning by The Oklahoman, city engineers acknowledged they had older traffic lights removed from streets improved as part of the Devon TIF project and could use those to finish the two-way conversions.
Downtown Oklahoma City in 2019 is home to a network of streets that are all two-way corridors. The traffic nightmares never materialized.
One of the most dramatic transformations is seen along NW 6, which was only converted to two-way traffic due to the loss of NW 5 after the 1995 bombing, is returning to its roots as a neighborhood street.
The street, however, is still five lanes wide and property owners are asking that it be put on a road diet. Similar development is taking place along NW 4, which is due to be narrowed this next year to make way for the city's protected bike lane. Walker Avenue, which Brum said could not be converted due to risks of it becoming a traffic nightmare, is lined with shops, apartments. A streetcar has been added to the mix, along with scooters and bicycles.
Contrary to predictions made along by some powerful voices over the history of Oklahoma City, the demise of one-way streets has only boosted the revival of a downtown that was once declared dead.
Steve Lackmeyer, an award-winning reporter, columnist and author for the Daily Oklahoman newspaper, has covered Oklahoma's conversion of downtown streets from one-way to two-ways.


2015 is full of intention, being more mindful, positive, compassionate to oneself, and one of the most important, purchase only needs not wants. In the last 6 months, I have been working to increase my liver function. At one of my hematologists appointments it was discovered that my liver enzymes were high. An ultrasound and two MRI's later I was diagnosed with Focal Nodular Hyperplasias or FNH, the second most common form of benign liver tumors. While these tumors usually do not cause symptoms or require treatment, I want my liver in tip top shape, running like the Warrior I know it is.

In addition to adding Chelidonium to my water and eating liver supporting foods everyday I'm working on decreasing my toxic load. While at the dentist last week, it was suggested that I start using a rinse to help decrease bacterial flora, which will help my autoimmune disorder. The standard suggestions were made, over the counter toxic crap. I mentioned that I wasn't really interested in those options, so it was suggested that I use a salt water rinse. Then my hygienist mention adding tea tree oil as well. Of course that got my gears a cranking, I could make my own mouthwash!
Ahh Essential Oils, how I love thee. What oh what would go in a mouthwash? Protective Blend, Peppermint, Melaleuca and Myrrh of course.
Protective Blend is a unique, proprietary blend formulated to support healthy immune function from the brand that we trust and use. Wild orange essential oil, combined with clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to synthetic options for immune support. It is also safe to use on counter tops, as a non-toxic way to cleanse surfaces, or to purify the atmosphere by diffusing. The Protective Blend is superb for eliminating and controlling pathogens due to the potency of its constituents.
Peppermint is popular in countless forms, from toothpaste to chewing gum. As an essential oil, it is useful to ease breathing and as a digestive aid.
regenerative properties, especially for the skin. Composed of more than ninety different compounds, melaleuca has limitless therapeutic applications.
This oil is one of the more expensive oils, so it can be optional. If gingivitis or mouth sores are a concern then you may want to consider keeping this trusty oil. Historically, myrrh has been used in many ways, from meditation to embalming in ancient Egypt. Modern herbalists frequently recommend myrrh for its cleansing properties, especially for the mouth and throat. Myrrh is also excellent for calming the skin.
If you are looking to decrease your toxic load, or are just looking for a natural dental rinse, then you need to give this a try.

There are four monopolistic states left in the country. These states have special laws that require employers in that state to purchase their workers comp coverage though the state's designated workers compensation program or State Fund. Private insurance companies are not permitted to offer coverage in these four states.
Ohio State Fund coverage is divided into two separate divisions. The Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) is responsible for offering state fund coverage and managing policy administration. The Industrial Commission of Ohio (IC) manages and administers all workers compensation claims in Ohio. The Ohio Workers Compensation Oversight Commission reviews asset investments and administrative rules.
The state of Ohio does not allow free-market competition and they are not part of NCCI. Rates vary significantly in non-monopolistic states and employers with limited losses or claims are rewarded with lower workers comp rates because of a) lower experience modifiers and b) scheduled credits.
Most private insurance carriers are licensed or authorized to offer workers compensation in most state throughout the U.S. Employers who do business in more than one state benefit because they can purchase coverage for multiple states from a single insurance carrier.
Monopolistic states do not benefit from utilizing standardized classification systems and national data statistics for workers comp insurance. This causes problems for both Ohio employers and employers from other states doing work in Ohio. Special considerations are required.
Inter-state and intra-state experience modifiers are not standardized for monopolistic states and Ohio employers may have separate experience modifiers affecting the cost of their insurance coverage. NCCI combines employer experience modifiers in non-monopolistic states.

Did you know that the cost of a workers comp policy in Ohio can vary significantly between insurance company, underwriter, and insurance agency?
Every Ohio employer is required to purchase workers compensation insurance regardless of the number of employees.
Sole-Proprietors and Partners are not required to cover themselves on workers compensation, but they can elect to be covered. A Notice of Election form may need be filed with The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation.
Corporate Officers are automatically included in Ohio coverage, but they may elect to be excluded using the proper exclusion form.
LLC Members will be treated as either a corporate officer or sole-proprietor depending on how they form their entity and how they are treated for income tax purposes.
Ohio does require minimum and maximum payroll requirements for business owners for the purposes of charging workers compensation premium. This calculation is based on the state average weekly wage.
Contractors doing business in Ohio may be subject to industry payroll limits for certain industry groups and may need maintain records to verify weekly wages paid to employees.
Ohio currently represents the largest of the four remaining monopolistic State Funds, with approximately $20 billion in assets. The BWC provides exclusive workers compensation insurance coverage to over 250,000 Ohio employers.

Pharmaceutical residues in Hungarian waters
In Hungary, too, the active ingredients of various medications are discharged continuously into the environment with wastewater, so they can now be detected in surface and underground waters as well as in soils.
Although individual pharmaceutical substances are only present in our environment in very low concentrations, collectively the many different compounds may cause a significant problem for the safety of aquatic ecosystems and our drinking water resources.
The Joint Danube Survey research projects of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) had already highlighted all that (in 2007 and 2013):
in the course of the tests conducted along the Danube it was established that – similarly to other parts of the world – the presence of pharmaceutical residues in surface waters, including the Danube, represents a problem in Hungary, too.
The project was the world's largest river research effort in 2013, the chemical analysis was performed by the world's leading laboratories. A number of components were tested, but the compounds that were detected most frequently were pharmaceutical derivatives. In addition, residues of artificial sweeteners and many other chemicals were also found.
Almost all the surface water samples contained various antiepileptic drugs, for instance carbamazepine, which is generally used for the treatment of epileptic seizures and as an antidepressant. But many other scientific papers also provide information about pharmaceutical pollution in Hungary's surface waters, and they draw attention to the fact that although wastewater treatment technologies are developing continuously, pharmaceutical residues still appear in treated wastewater, and as a result, in our natural waters, too.

Hungarian water treatment plant in Vietnam
It was announced in 2010 that the Vietnamese government would like to build a water treatment plant in Central Vietnam. Hungary is famous for its water treatment technology so they decided on a Hungarian partner.
The Biopolus BioMakery in the Netherlands
The Trappist monks of Koningshoeven Abbey have been brewing beer since 1881, and in recent years, they have also been baking bread and making chocolate, honey and cheese. The water to be treated is the wastewater from these brewing and manufacturing activities, together with the municipal wastewater from the Abbey and the visiting centre.
Over two tonnes of golf balls collected from Monterey Bay
Specialists believe almost 30 kilograms of microplastics has eroded from such a quantity of golf balls into the water.
Algal blooms grow more severe in the great lakes of the world
Over the last three decades, summer algal blooms in all large fresh-water lakes around the world have grown more severe – this is the conclusion of a global study, the longest ever of its kind, conducted by researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science and NASA.
The Pacific cleanup may succeed
The system created by a Dutch inventor called System 101, whose first trial run, conducted a year ago, had failed, has started collecting plastic waste on the Pacific again.
Hungarian innovation to filter pharmaceutical residues
Many studies worldwide have shown that the active compounds of medications are released into the environment with wastewater and can easily be reintroduced into the human food chain from there. Filtering these residues out is an increasingly acute concern, but, thankfully, the world of science has already responded to the problem.
Garbage from Asia has inundated an island in the middle of the Atlantic
Researchers from Canada and Africa have found a massive amount of plastic bottles, originating form Asia, mainly from China, on Inaccessible Island, located in the South Atlantic Ocean. The bottles were probably discarded into the water and then washed up on the island from cargo ships passing the region.
What can we do against pharmaceutical residues in our waters?
After being introduced into human and animal organisms, some pharmaceutical compounds are secreted via urine unchanged, and then, through wastewater, those compounds may reach surface waters that serve as drinking water supplies, representing a risk for both aquatic ecosystems and for the purity of drinking water.
Microplastics from an unexpected source
We've known for a long time that plastic food packaging, wearing car tyres and clothing made of synthetic fibres are all sources of microplastic pollution. However, a new study has identified a new source of pollution in our kitchens, or more precisely in our teacups.
Steroids in the water?
Despite the continuous development of wastewater treatment technologies, the complete removal of synthetic pharmaceuticals using the three-step method currently in use is yet to be achieved. A number of researchers are working to improve the efficiency of the removal of these molecules from the present value of 10 to 30 percent.

Q: MySQL Binary Installation (mysql_install_db) While installing from binaries. The below always gives error when we execute from 'scripts' directory
[mysql@hostname ~]$ cd /mysql/product/5.6.12/scripts/
[mysql@hostname ~]$ . mysql_install_db --defaults-file=my.cnf

-bash: use: command not found
But the same works fine when I execute one step back from scripts directory
[mysql@hostname ~]$ scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=my.cnf

Question: Why this happens ?

A: I think you have a mistake, you can't execute:
[mysql@hostname ~]$ . mysql_install_db --defaults-file=my.cnf

Because the correct line is:
[mysql@hostname ~]$ ./mysql_install_db --defaults-file=my.cnf

You don't have in PATH environtment variable the current directory ".".

A: The problem appears to be that you're trying to source the installation script by putting . (dot space) in front of the script name.  This behaves differently from executing the script.
Prefix the mysql_install_db with a ./ instead:
./mysql_install_db

When you execute it from the level above, you're not including the . (dot space), so it executes the script and works as you expect.

Here at Anne Guy, we use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible in the production of our creative catering services. Not only are we trying to support the economy of our community, but the products that have been grown and produced in our area also provide numerous benefits that you wouldn't get when purchasing similar products from larger supermarkets. Below we have outlined some of the advantages of using locally sourced ingredients, but there are also plenty of others.
Purchasing locally grown products helps local businesses to compete with the larger companies. National retailers are able to target sales across the country, whereas local organisations solely rely on their own community to keep them afloat. If their own community don't buy their products, no one will.
With food purchased from supermarkets and other stores, it's impossible to know exactly how it was produced and the production methods it undertook – it may have been exposed to bacteria, causing it to become contaminated, for example. However, with local food, the buyer knows exactly where the goods have come from, who grew it, and its production methods.
Certain foods from bigger businesses have been imported from various places across the globe, and have had to undergo a large amount of travelling just to reach the store shelf. Whether the produce travels by ship or by plane, the transportation of the product is likely to release a substantial amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that isn't involved in the delivery process of local products.
When produce is grown locally, it is picked at its optimum ripeness as it doesn't have to travel to another destination. With larger companies, however, crops usually have to be picked before their peak to cover travel time, which inevitably restricts their flavour, or if they are picked at their ripeness, by the time they reach the store, their condition has deteriorated.
This is one of the main reasons why we use as much local produce as possible – it tastes great! Locally grown products are instrumental in helping us create the quality food we offer.
Britain leaving the European Union will inevitably increase the price of imports and tariffs, causing a 'domino effect' that will also see supermarkets increase their prices. Local businesses, however, won't be affected by Brexit and still have the opportunity to offer the same prices as they were pre-Brexit.
Keeping money circulating in our community allows for jobs to be created. The higher the demand for local businesses, the more jobs that need to be created to cater for the demand.
If you would like to make use of our professional catering services for a special event and want to taste some fine food that has been created from local ingredients, please get in touch with us today.

Q: Replace line feed (LF) with space but not affect carriage return (CR) Is there a way to remove line feeds (LF) and replace with space and not affect the carriage returns (CR)?
I've tried the below but it also removes the carriage returns:
import fileinput
import sys

def replaceAll(file,searchExp,replaceExp):
    for line in fileinput.input(file, inplace=1):
        if searchExp in line:
            line = line.replace(searchExp,replaceExp)
        sys.stdout.write(line)

replaceAll("hold1.csv","\n","\s")

The input text would be something like this with | as a separator:
field1 | field2| field3 some textLF

more textLF

more text|field4 | field5 CR

Which I would like to see in the format of:
field1 | field2| field3 some text more text more text|field4 | field5 CR

A: It is not your replacing code removes the carriage returns. Python, by default, normalises line endings when opening files in text mode; a feature called universal newlines. See the open() function documentation:

When reading input from the stream, if newline is None, universal newlines mode is enabled. Lines in the input can end in '\n', '\r', or '\r\n', and these are translated into '\n' before being returned to the caller. If it is '', universal newlines mode is enabled, but line endings are returned to the caller untranslated.

You want to use the newline='' mode. Unfortunately, the fileinput module doesn't support combining inline and openhook, so you'll have to create your own backups to re-write the files:
import os

def replaceAll(file, searchExp, replaceExp):
    backup = file + '.bak'
    os.rename(file,  backup)
    with open(backup, 'r', newline='') as source, open(file, 'w', newline='') as dest:
        for line in source:
            if searchExp in line:
                line = line.replace(searchExp, replaceExp)
            dest.write(line)


PHILIPPINES - The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) 4A in collaboration with the provincial agriculture office has conducted a series of Agri-Pinoy Technical Briefing and Technoklinik in Laguna the latest of which were in the fourth class municipalities of Victoria, Mabitac and Magdalena.
More than 200 farmers and agricultural extension workers attended the activity aimed primarily on creating awareness on current programmes of the Department of Agriculture (DA) anchored on the Agri-Pinoy Framework.
It also aims to reach out to the farmers and fishermen of the fourth to sixth class municipalities in Laguna through consultations and open fora to evaluate their needs and concerns and address them together with the attached agencies of the department.
ATI 4A intends to cover 10 more municipalities for the conduct of said activity until July, this year. According to ATI 4A representative Maritess Cosico, municipalities were selected based on their production potential economic status, accessibility to DAs programmes and services, and their location.
These towns were identified to have a great potential for agricultural development, however, they lack access to DAs interventions, remotely located and belong to a low income class, either a fourth, fifth or sixth class municipality, she explained.
Important agri-related topics were presented such as sustainable agriculture, climate change, crop and livestock integration, and the Palaycheck system along with exhibits on technologies and projects; display of information, education and communication (IEC) materials made available to the participants by the Farmers Information and Technology Services (FITS) Center of the provincial agriculture office and an open forum which gave the participants an opportunity to consult their concerns with the experts and specialists from the DA regional office and its attached agencies.
DA 4As attached agencies represented during the Agri-Pinoy Technical Briefings and Technokliniks were the National Food Authority (NFA), National Irrigation Administration (NIA), and Regional Crop Protection Center (RCPC).

Skilling H. Gordon Collection of the Czechoslovak Documentation Centre
Skilling H. Gordon (1912-2001) was a prominent Canadian historian, political scientist and Slavist. His life and work were closely linked to the dramatic fate of Czechoslovakia from the late 1930s to the 1989 Velvet Revolution.
Na Zátorách 6, 170 00 Praha 7 - Holešovice, Czech Republic
Skilling H. Gordon
The collection of H. Gordon Skilling was firstly collected by historian Vilém Prečan after his arrival in exile in 1976. This famous Canadian historian met Vilém Prečan with interest, in Prague in the autumn of 1968 when he handed him a copy of the just printed document of Seven Prague Days about the Soviet invasion in August 1968, the so-called "Black Book". Their close cooperation took place after Prečan's exile to West Germany. Since then, they have begun their long-term cooperation and lifelong friendship; one aspect of it was that they informed each other of what was new. Prečan received materials from home through built smuggling channels and Skilling repeatedly visited him in Czechoslovakia and met with dissidents. He also visited Vaclav Havel at Hrádeček in 1984. During the normalisation, Skilling wrote a series of studies on dissident activities and samizdat publishing. He tirelessly and systematically warned the outside world about the situation in Czechoslovakia. He wrote about the shocking consequences of the intellectual, spiritual and moral earthquake that devastated the country after the defeat of the "Prague Spring", and raised his voice many times to defend those who were persecuted. His most important books include the Czechoslovakian Disrupted Revolution as well as Charter 77 and Human Rights in Czechoslovakia. For his work in favour of the opposition, he was under permanent oversight of the State Security (StB) during its visits to Czechoslovakia. In October 1978, the State Security (StB) even detained him on the border as he travelled by bus from Bratislava to Vienna and took him back to Bratislava for a daylong interrogation before he could leave Czechoslovakia. Gordon Skilling gave an impetus to build a large collection of Czechoslovak Samizdat in the Toronto University Library and himself contributed to the documentation he gathered during his travels to Prague.
Gordon Skilling played an important role in setting up the archive, documentation and information centre, which Vilém Prečan had sought since his arrival in exile. In January 1986, the Washington NGO the National Endowment for Democracy provided a subsidy to the project of a documentation centre in exile. Gordon Skilling 's appeal of August 5th, 1985 to support the creation of the centre played a major role in the decision to award the grant. Gordon Skilling pointed out the unique importance of Vilém Precan, who served in recent years as the most important source of support for independent activities in Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak Documentation Centre for Independent Literature (ČSDS) was founded in March 1986, and in the beginning of November 1986, it moved its base to Schwarzenberg, Bavaria's Scheinfeld, in the premises of Karel Schwarzenberg at his own expense. Prečan handed over all his collections to the newly-established centre. G. Skilling became Chairman of the Scientific Council of this centre.
In September 2000, the Documentation Centre and its collections moved to the Czech Republic. In 2003, ČSDS made a donation agreement with the National Museum in Prague. The ČSDS collections, including the Gordon Skilling Collection, were handed over to the National Museum.
The Skilling H. Gordon collection documents the work of a prominent Canadian historian and political scientist in favour of Czechoslovak opposition and independent culture. The collection contains articles, studies, lectures and notes in which H. Gordon Skilling focuses on Czechoslovakia, especially Soviet occupation in August 1968, normalisation, Charter 77, Samizdat, Communism, Human Rights, and Masaryk and the First Republic. In addition, the handwritten versions of several of his books are stored in the collection. The collection also includes "Survey of H. G. Skilling", from 1986 on an "independent society," to which the personalities of the Czechoslovak dissent responded.

Today's review unit of the Seasonic S12III 500W arrived from Richmond Hill, Ontario, and traveled to our APH Networks offices in Calgary, Alberta. Traveling with Canada Post and their Expedited Parcel service, this box is clearly marked with Newegg all over it. Combined with the origin of this package, I think it is easy to guess this box was sent to us from Newegg. This is not the first time we see packaging marked by an online retailer. Otherwise, this brown corrugated cardboard box arrived in excellent condition without any signs of damage to be concerned about. Even if there was any damage, the inside contents were also cushioned by several air pockets. I grabbed a pair of scissors and popped the box so we could get to the power supply.
Unlike the other Seasonic power supplies we have received from them in recent times, the S12III 500W is quite a bit more basic in its external appearance. However, we still have a relatively clean blue and black theme with some features on the front. On the left side, you can see the Seasonic logo, followed by an 80 Plus Bronze efficiency sticker and a model name. Otherwise, the right side shows the five year warranty that comes with the Seasonic S12III 500W. While this is notably shorter than some other Seasonic units, this is still quite impressive compared to other competing products. Otherwise, around the sides are some more information about the S12III.
As this is more of a budget power supply, the Seasonic S12III 500W does not offer the same unboxing experience as you may expect. The unit itself can be found wrapped in a bubble wrap bag. Its fixed cables are held in a compact manner with twist ties, while the AC power cable is wrapped in a separate bundle. A small bag of four screws can be found to mount the power supply into your case, while a manual is provided for some more information about the power supply. Otherwise, there is not much else to look at, so let us take a closer look at the Seasonic S12III 500W.

The photograph shows King George VI and Queen Elizabeth outside of Province House in Charlottetown during their visit to Prince Edward Island on 14 June 1939. The King and Queen can be seen shaking hands with a group of war veterans. The man shaking the Queen's hand in the photograph is Nicholas Murphy. In 1939 King George VI of England and his wife Queen Elizabeth made a month-long tour of Canada. They set sail for Canada on 6 May and travelled for nine days across the Atlantic Ocean. The King and Queen's first stop in Canada was Quebec City. On 14 June 1939, near the end of their tour, the royal couple visited Charlottetown, PEI.

Written by Emma Hallam - Founder of Alex's Wish
Alex's Wish is a registered charity located in East Midlands with a mission to eradicate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne affects 1 in every 3,500 boys born. It's a devastating aggressive fatal muscle wasting disease which leaves children completely paralysed by late teens.
Duchenne is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, boys are born with the condition and it can affect any family. Boys are missing a vital protein and as a result every single muscle in their body is destroyed. It is 100% fatal and most boys are only expected to live until their mid-twenties due to heart and respiratory complications.
Alex's Wish founder Emma Hallam set-up the charity shortly after her son Alex was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 4. Being told not enough funding is going into research to bring about effective treatments to help delay symptoms, they set about a mission to raise £1M by 2020.
With the help of their amazing supporters, they have now raised £850K and with your support tonight they hope to reach their milestone sooner. Once reached, they will continue to fund life-saving drug developments until a cure is found.
They alongside other UK charities are making huge strides and now for the first time in history, this generation could be either the last to die or the first to survive this devastating illness.

Cropston Cricket Club - Juniors Section
Written by Tom Hunter
Cropston Cricket Club is a club steeped in tradition and over the years many generations of the same families have enjoyed the wonderful surroundings that are offered at Waterfield Road, the home of Cropston CC.
The Juniors section is the jewel in the crown! Giving children as young as five the opportunity to learn, enjoy and experience the game of cricket, whilst gaining independence and leadership skills, is paramount to what we offer. We have age group cricket teams at Under 10, 11, 13 and 15. We also run an All Stars scheme for the younger boys and girls aged 5-8 years old.
Many of our young players go forward to represent the senior teams at the club and a staggering 11 of this year's 1st Team squad came through the Junior section at Cropston. A 1st Team squad which this year regained its place in the Premier Division of the Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket League after an absence of twenty years.
Hope Against Cancer
Written by Tracey Hallam - Corporate and Events Fundraiser
Hope Against Cancer is Leicestershire and Rutland's local cancer research charity. We were established in 2003 to bring cutting-edge research to our area and make clinical trials available to local people. Since 2003 we have raised in excess of £5m and funded over 60 research projects tackling many different forms of cancer.
Our vision is working for a future where more local people survive cancer.
Our mission is to fund innovative research that leads to improved treatments and better outcomes for people and that achieves the greatest impact in the local and national fight against cancer.
Around 5,000 people in Leicestershire are diagnosed with cancer each year and the region currently has hot spots of cancer associated with cultural and socio-economic factors and healthcare inequalities. There is over-whelming evidence to show that regions with diverse, local research have better health outcomes within their communities. Hope Against Cancer has been instrumental in the city of Leicester becoming a cancer research centre of excellence, one of only about 15 in the UK. We need to raise over £350,000 every year to fund vital research within the new centre of excellence.
We will prioritise research that influences potential practice changes in early detection, prevention and treatment of cancers. Our research projects will have a clear benefit for patients across the region. The charity will continue to develop talent and help train the next generation of local cancer researchers through our funding to support postgraduates and cancer clinicians pursuing a career in cancer research – a critical area for which national funding is being cut and limited. HOPE will also support the development of new treatments through continuing support of our clinical trials nurse.

With high ambitions, Contador and Basso to get season underway Wednesday
by Shane Stokes
Last year's Vuelta a España winner Alberto Contador and the former double Giro d'Italia champion Ivan Basso both make their 2015 season debuts in the Vuelta a Andalucia on Wednesday, with the former looking to test his form against Tour rival Chris Froome and the latter seeking to help his new team-mate to win.
Basso moved over to the Tinkoff-Saxo squad over the winter, ending a long association with the Cannondale team.
The latter came to a halt and entered into a merger of sorts with the Garmin-Sharp squad, producing the newly-titled Cannondale-Garmin team, but even had that not happened Basso still needed change.
The Italian has stagnated in recent years but hopes to get back to a better level in the new surroundings of Tinkoff-Saxo.
His move has given him new motivation and also exposed him to different training and race advice.
Both he and Contador report themselves content with their winter work and say they are eager to get things underway in Wednesday's split stages.
The five day, 2.1-ranked event begins with a 121.3 kilometre stage from La Rábida (Palos de la Fra) to Hinojos, and is then followed by an afternoon 8.2 kilometre time trial to Coria del Río.
"After many workouts, I want to compete, which is what I like," said Contador, who turned 32 in December.
"Maybe I'm a little later compared with last year, because we have done the preparation like this, always thinking about the Giro and the Tour."
Contador is vying to win both events this year, a feat only achieved by seven riders in history.
Before then, he will be up against Chris Froome this week. He scored an important psychological blow against his rival in last year's Vuelta and wants to further underline his resurgence in Spain.
"You always like to compete with the best in the world and Froome is one of the biggest rivals," he said.
"We have to see how advanced his preparation is. But it's nice with an early battle – cycling also need these clashes, as happens in football with rival teams."
Apart from the time trial, the general classification is also likely to be shaped by the mountain stages on days three and four.
The first of those runs to Alto Hazallanas and concludes with a tough 16.7 kilometre climb. The following day takes the riders to the steep five kilometre finishing climb of Alto de Allanadas.
Basso spoke about his motivation and desire to prove a point.
"Since the moment I joined Tinkoff-Saxo, my ambition has been to reach the start of the season with all available force to do my best for the team.
"I'm very happy to kick off the season beside our extraordinary captain, Alberto Contador.
"I think we are at a very good level right now, as a group, and personally I feel very well."
The duo will be joined by Jesús Hernandez, Sergio Paulinho, Evgeny Petrov, Matteo Tosatto and Michael Valgren.
Directeur sportif Steven de Jongh is clear about the objective, saying that the team will definitely aim for a top spot in the general classification.
"Tinkoff-Saxo goes to Ruta del Sol with that goal," he underlined. "Alberto is ambitious about this race and wants a good start in a season in which he has very high ambitions.
"The goal is to have a squad with good teamwork and I feel confident we can achieve this."
It's been months since Contador and Basso last raced, but the latter said that the winter had gone very well for the whole team and that things are on course.
"We've given thorough attention to every detail and I think these efforts will pay off," he said.
"I feel ready to take up the challenge and help Albert to reach the goal we have in Ruta del Sol, which is basically to win."

Schnitzler's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus schnitzleri) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae. It is endemic to China.

Taxonomy
The bat was first described by Wu Yi  and Vu Dinh Thong in 2011. The holotype was collected in Xiao-dong Cave, Yunnan province, about 50 km from Kunming City.The species is named after Professor Hans-Ulrich Schnitzler in recognition of his contribution to the study of bats.

It belongs to the philippinensis species group.

Description
The bat is a large species of the genus Rhinolophus. It has a forearm length of around . It also has a tail length of . It also possesses very large ears. The bat is light brown and chestnut on the ventral and dorsal regions, respectively. The interfemoral and wing membranes are a brown color. The hair is long, with a length of . The horseshoe is a light grey in color. It is broad and almost circular in shape. It is posteriorly contiguous with the anterior face of the lancet, and greatly exceeds the breadth of the muzzle. It has no supplementary leaflets.

Habitat and distribution
The bat is known only from the holotype inhabiting the Yunnan province in China. It is cave dwelling.

Conservation
Not much is known about the bat. However, as it is a cave-dwelling species, usual threats to cave-dwelling bats, such as in-roost disturbance probably affect it.

The City of Greater Geraldton put a call out recently for artists to send in submission to create amazing Christmas decorations from old cray pots. There were 10 pots on offer and artists were to come up with concepts that were a little "left-of-centre". Rachel Weaver and I have collaborated in the past on artworks and decided to get together and come up with some ideas. We handed in our submission for 4 different designs and were lucky enough to be awarded 8 of the 10 pots. This means we would create two of each design. We've been working on these pots for some time now and have almost finished and I have to say, what a pretty awesome time I've had creating with Rachel. We always work so well together and have lots of laughs.
Let me share some pics with you.
This is what each pot looks like – they are the old type (this one is painted green of course).
Painted polystyrene balls for the Chrissy Baubles Wreath. We used Ironlak spray paint on these and the metallic paint actually ate into the polystyrene which looks incredible.
Expandable foam makes for a brilliant pavlova. This stuff is amazing and can definitely see myself using it more. Poor Rachel had to do all the carving but she handled it well.
The plugger wreaths are taking shape. Rachel and I both chose a particular colour scheme and luckily they all worked in beautifully together. We used Ironlak spray paint to make the job of painting "pluggers" easier.
…and last but not least…the Aussie Wreaths. I had planned on creating quite a few polymer bits and pieces for all of these wreaths but unfortunately couldn't due to neck and shoulder injury. I did manage a couple of things though which will be included in the Aussie Wreath. Can you pick the polymer items?
I'll have more pics to share with you soon as the wreaths are getting very close to being finished. What a brilliant project this has been and must say huge thanks to the City of Greater Geraldton for such a wonderful opportunity and my awesomely creative friend Rachel for making this process so much fun.
