The cruise was disappointing in that all but two of the port stops where by Tender and as I need to use a walking stick and have difficulty going down steps and have a problem with stability getting to and from the Tender.
There was also a considerable number of tour cancellations apparently due to a lack of numbers.
On one of the port calls (Invergordon) the tour was in two parts which did not allow sufficient time a either to enjoy the experience.
The last port of call was cancelled due to the weather which prevented the use of the Tender.
Apart from the above the size of the boat (880 pax) which was only partially utilised (540 pax) and enabled one to establish many friendships. The crew was also excellent and are a credit to Fred Olsen Cruises.
Traditional small ship with dated decor but homely and staff superb, been on this ship twice now and must admit I love the ship and would recommend her to anyone.

High blood pressure is commonly associated with age, diet, exercise and smoking. However, sometimes a hormonal imbalance is to blame. In these cases, diagnosis is more difficult and the health risks are greater, so Dr. Gregory Hundemer hopes to develop better and more personalized approaches. He wants to see whether it would be cost-effective to screen everyone with high blood pressure for hyperaldosteronism, the overproduction of the hormone aldosterone which affects approximately one in five of people with medication-resistant hypertension. People with this condition are at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Some research suggests that the standard treatment for this hormone condition, called mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist therapy, may not work as well as previously thought. Dr. Hundemer also plans to investigate new biomarkers that can better show whether the treatment is working.
Dr. Hundemer was recently appointed as an associate scientist in the Clinical Epidemiology Program at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. He is a staff nephrologist at The Ottawa Hospital and an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa.
“I’d like to see a more personalized approach to treating people with high blood pressure by tailoring treatments to their specific conditions,” said Dr. Hundemer.
Research at The Ottawa Hospital led by scientists like Dr. Hundemer is possible because of generous donations to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

text: Sarat Chandra Das was one of the greatest pioneers of exploration and discovery in Tibet in nineteenth century. In 1879 – 82, when Tibet was a forbidden land for foreigners, Das went to Tibet twice in the disguise of a Buddhist lama crossing passes higher than 20,000 ft without the aid of modern mountaineering equipment and surveyed unknown regions of Kangchenjunga massif and Tibet on behalf of British Government of India. Apart from a remarkable contribution on the geographical research, Das, a scholar of Tibetan language and Buddhism, collected and later dispersed huge information on the cultural and social life, religion and politics of Tibet. This book presents Das’s rare travelogues, on how he crossed the Himalayas in both the journeys he made to Tibet. Edited by Tapas Moulik.

The following question is from the student ʿAlī Jābir who thanks your eminence and says how do we know the callers to misguidance in this time who incite unrest and turmoil; particularly those who do so through social media?
First of all, one must know where did they study and from where did they take knowledge? This is the first thing.
Secondly, you must know the methodology which they traverse upon.
Who do they imitate? Whose example do they follow? Do they follow the example of the Imāms of Islām and the scholars of Islām or do they follow other than them?
So there must be a distinction made between these people and other than them by knowing from where did they take knowledge, who did they study with and who did they develop under? So that their origin, methodology and history can be known.

CLEMSON, S.C. — Jaron Blossomgame scored a season-high 29 points to lead Clemson to a 93-65 victory over SC State on Tuesday, the Tigers’ fifth straight win, all at home. Blossomgame moved into the top 20 in Clemson history in career scoring, surpassing 1,300 points. Clemson moved to 7-2 with the win, while SC State dropped to 2-8 overall. In all, the Tigers had four scorers in double figures, including Shelton Mitchell (14), Donte Grantham (13) and Avry Holmes (10). The Tigers had just two turnovers for the game, the second-lowest figure in program history. Clemson had 17 assists on 36 baskets and outscored the Bulldogs by a whopping 52-28 margin in the paint. Blossomgame provided early energy, going upstairs to land a couple of high-flying alleyoops. He posted 15 of his points before intermission, helping Clemson to a lead of as many as 13 in the opening frame. The Tigers saw SC State hang around, as the Bulldogs converted 50 percent of their field goal attempts in the opening 20 minutes of play. Clemson stretched its second-half advantage to 20 for the first time when Grantham emphatically followed a Holmes miss, throwing down a one-handed slam to bring the crowd to its feet. The Tigers take to the road against a pair of SEC foes, playing Alabama on Sunday, Dec. 18 in Birmingham, before facing rival South Carolina three days later in Columbia.
“This was a really good offensive performance. Certainly, having 17 assists and only two turnovers were big stats, as well as the 23 offensive rebounds. We knew, especially when they played small, that we could hurt them inside.


text: Manchester United’s already slim hopes of lifting the biggest prize in club football were all but eliminated on Wednesday night, with a 1-0 defeat at home to Barcelona resulting in them needing yet another miracle at the Camp Nou next week. It’s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility after their incredible turnaround in Paris, but it’s extremely unlikely that the Catalan giants will capitulate in the same way the rich Parisians did. Either way, it’s likely that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will choose to rest some key players for this Premier League clash, despite the fact that they’re embroiled in a battle for the all important top four spots at the moment. Their 2-1 loss to Wolves at the start of the month leaves them three points adrift of 4th place Tottenham, and with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal also in the hunt, it could be a very interesting end to the season. West Ham, on the other hand, are battling against their inherent inconsistency to try and finish in 7th place, which could potentially yield Europa League football next term. They currently lie 11th in the table, five points behind current placeholders Leicester but having played a game more than fellow contenders Wolves and Watford. The Hammers inconsistency keeps coming back to haunt them. Their 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Monday wasn’t exactly unexpected, but defeats to the likes of Everton and Cardiff were much less understandable results and their form away from home has been very poor of late. In fact, West Ham are winless on the road since the day after Boxing Day, losing six of their seven league away days since. Manchester United may have lost two of their last three league games, but they are unbeaten at home in the league since August and have won five of the seven home league games since Jose Mourinho was sacked. West Ham’s poor away form has largely been caused by a distinct lack of attacking threat. They have scored just one goal in their last seven away days, so even The Red Devils’ dodgy back line will feel confident of getting a clean sheet. This, plus the conservation of energy from the hosts, points towards a relatively low scoring match on Saturday. West Ham have seen fewer than four goals in each of their last 13 Premier League away matches, with these outings averaging a modest 2.07 goals per game. This makes a Manchester United Win and Under 3.5 Goals bet look very attractive, along with a 2-0 correct score prediction.

WALT DISNEY WORLD, FL — The dome that encloses the Walt Disney World Resort will be left open for upcoming maintenance, a Disney Parks and Resorts representative announced Tuesday. Disney does not typically announce maintenance schedules for the dome, so we at Uncle Walt’s Insider are publishing a travel advisory as a courtesy to anyone who plans to visit the popular Florida destination.
We advise tourists who may not be familiar with the sun Florida uses to wear sunscreen, keep an umbrella or poncho handy, and do not look directly at the sun.
We also advise you also to keep an eye on food items. During this time, wildlife (such as birds) will be able to enter the property. These animals do not have the same training that the resident Disney animals have, so they will steal churros and less exciting snacks from unsuspecting guests.
Texans can carry on as normal, as they are tough and already acclimated to blistering direct sunlight.
Tourists from California are advised that prolonged exposure to the sun could cause cancer. Use of sunscreen could cause cancer. Umbrellas are made using chemicals that could cause cancer. A family history of cancer could cause cancer. Cancer advisories are suspected to lead to cancer.
British tourists should take extra precautions and place a thick covering of zinc oxide cream over their entire bodies. It will be unnoticeable for many of the British population.

When I happened to learn that someone who keeps up a news site about Peanuts books was working on one of them himself, and that the book would contain reproductions of various memorabilia, it caught my attention. I was reminded of "The Star Wars Vault" and a volume about Charles Darwin I bought from a discount shelf not that long ago (Darwin's handwriting is rather hard to read, though), and decided to order a copy of "The Peanuts Collection."
In alternating between pages on the characters and not just various other themes of the comic strip but also "the world beyond," though, I may have found myself contemplating a comment that Schulz started off not really interested in merchandising but unbent bit by bit, wondering about a certain attitude in a "post-Watterson era" that the proclaimed worth of Peanuts is in proportion to how much each strip can be seen as a desperate attempt by Charles M. Schulz at self-therapy. At the same time, though, the book contained a few comments from Schulz himself on the whole issue ("A lot of people apparently don't believe in insurance" and "Tapioca Pudding," who showed up in the strip in the mid-1980s, talking about how her father was going to put her on lunch boxes), which did seem to help me keep things in perspective.

ALBA hopes to develop tomorrow’s leaders in sustainable agriculture, create greater economic opportunities for small organic farmers, promote ecological land management and increase the availability of healthy local foods.
The Farmer Education Course (PEPA for the Spanish Programa Educativo para Pequeños Agricultores) is a one-year, bilingual, 300-hour curriculum featuring classroom instruction and field-based training that prepares participants to launch an organic farm business.
The Organic Farm Incubator allows course PEPA graduates to launch their farm on ALBA’s land. Starting at 1/2 acre, farmers gradually scale up to 5 acres under ALBA’s supervision before transitioning to fully independent farming.
ALBA Organics markets and ships participants’ products to markets around California, giving farmers access to clients that would otherwise be out of reach and allowing them to focus on agriculture and business management during their initial years farming.
In addition to farmer training, ALBA has general educational programs. Onsite organic farm visits, for example, give kids opportunities to interact with farmers and learn about sustainable farming and ecological land management practices.

The availability and accessibility of open data has the potential to increase transparency and accountability and, in turn, the potential to improve the governance of universities as public institutions. In addition, it is suggested that open data is likely to increase the quality, efficacy and efficiency of research and analysis of the national higher education system by providing a shared empirical base for critical interrogation and reinterpretation. The Centre for Higher Education Transformation (CHET) has developed an online, open data platform providing institutional-level data on South African higher education. However, other than anecdotal feedback, little is known about how the data is being used. Using CHET as a case study, this project studied the use of the CHET open data initiative by university planners as well as by higher education studies researchers. It did so by considering the supply of and demand for open data as well as the roles of intermediaries in the South African higher education governance ecosystem. The study found that (i) CHET’s open data is being used by university planners and higher education studies researchers, albeit infrequently; (ii) the government’s higher education database is a closed and isolated data source in the data ecosystem; (iii) there are concerns at both government and university levels about how data will be used and (mis)interpreted; (iv) open data intermediaries increase the accessibility and utility of data; (v) open data intermediaries provide both supply-side as well as demand- side value; (vi) intermediaries may assume the role of a ‘keystone species’ in a data ecosystem; (vii) intermediaries have the potential to democratise the impacts and use of open data – intermediaries play an important role in curtailing the ‘de-ameliorating’ effects of data-driven disciplinary surveillance.. The report concludes as follows: (i) despite poor data provision by government, the public university governance open data ecosystem has evolved because of the presence of intermediaries in the ecosystem; (ii) by providing a richer information context and/or by making the data interoperable, government could improve the uptake of data by new users and intermediaries, as well as by the existing intermediaries; and (iii) increasing the fluidity of government open data could remove uncertainties around both the degree of access provided by intermediaries and the financial sustainability of the open platforms provided by intermediaries.

HomeReMixesSecret of Mana "Eternal Beginnings"
"A Bell is Tolling", "Eternal Recurrence", "Now Flightless Wings", "The Little Sprite"
Special thanks to the Materia Collective for so readily and enthusiastically volunteering your services! Also, special thanks to Daniel Cortes for supplying a beautiful string section (who all worked tirelessly for days on end to get it right) and to Gregory Orosz for performing such an incredible range of instruments, styles, and parts featured in every movement. Aside from that improv, the arrangement, mixing, and composition were all done by myself. The medley is based on the incredible works of Hiroki Kikuta!
Here's the entire suite in case you're interested. I realize that this excerpt is kind of long and has a lot of movements.
Songs remixed: "Eternal Recurrence," "A Bell Is Tolling," "Now Flightless," "The Little Sprite"
"Why, hello there! Um... wow, this is something special. You've really outdone yourself on this one, with all of the live performers on this one (playing superbly, might I add). Listening to the rest of the suite, I can't wait to see if you're willing to submit the rest of the movements.It would be amazing if we heard the rest of it on here, even in smaller movements like this one here. ;) Amazing work, so glad you posted a piece of it for us to share."
Hearing Rebecca's work brought to life by so many talented & familiar instrumentalists is truly special, as Greg writes. Her arranging skills have always transported & impressed, but she's improved her production to match, and having so many live performances only sweetens things further. Be sure to check out the full suite for more!
so good to see there's people out there still trying to do big things with the secret of mana tracks. got a little teary eyed when i saw the whole youtube arrangement.
great treatment of individual tunes, with some good and some so-so transitions. i (partly) realize the extreme work that must go into arranging, coordinating and mixing this...it's an accomplishment in itself.
it works as a megamedley. it's pleasant to listen to for sure. but of course, it meanders and lacks a greater development over 30 minutes.
great work, and i see you've done similar things with other OSTs. i think megamedleys are cool, but they can be so much greater when you break up the 'tune after tune' formula at some point and go wild.

The sky’s the limit for Rep. Ralph Abraham.
The Louisiana Republican is a pilot, a physician, a veterinarian, and a farmer. He also helps out with the Coast Guard and wants to climb Mount Everest next year.
Abraham, 62, got his pilot’s license after he graduated from vet school in the 1980s. He uses his plane to give back to his constituents in a unique way.
He’s been a member of Pilots for Patients for years. In his large 5th District, which covers much of northeastern and central Louisiana, cancer patients often have to travel long distances to receive treatment, and the nonprofit organization works to get them there quickly at no cost.
The two-term congressman helps transport patients to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.
With his congressional schedule, Abraham doesn’t get to fly patients as often as he would like, but his plane is available in Louisiana for the organization.
He also tries to get airborne a couple of days a month to fly missions for Green Flag, a Civil Air Patrol program that uses manned planes to simulate unmanned drones and shoot real-time video for crew training in Fort Polk, Louisiana.
And, it doesn’t stop there.
Just this month, he got another opportunity to volunteer: this time helping out the Coast Guard.
“I got a call at daylight from the Coast Guard in Memphis, and they said that an aircraft had gone down in or around the Mississippi River and wanted me to go up because I am stationed close to that particular area,” he recalled.
Abraham and his co-pilot assisted sheriff’s deputies with the search.
The pilot was found and “I heard was he was doing good,” the congressman reported.
As for climbing Everest, Abraham has already been in touch with people with whom he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2012, and they’re getting things lined up for next year.
“We are past, I think, the talking stage,” he said.
At a young age, Matt Berkebile became fascinated with airplanes. Now he uses his passion for flight to help West Texans access medical care.
Berkebile coordinates local efforts for Angel Flight South Central, a nonprofit that offers patients free flights to medical centers.
Since he first volunteered nearly two years ago, Berkebile has completed about a dozen flights. He said some patients turn to Angel Flight after exhausting money on medical treatments.
Angel Flight is based in Dallas and helps patients in Texas and its neighboring states. Midland is in the southwest region, which spans from Abilene to El Paso.
Justin Burris, a local volunteer pilot, said the organization has helped people living in small West Texas towns.
Volunteer pilots for Angel Flight donate their time and travel expenses. The pilots use small aircraft, such as the Mooney Ovation plane Berkebile rents from Floris Flight Services at Midland Airpark. The size of the airplanes allows pilots to reach county airports that are close to people seeking medical transportation, Berkebile said.
Shireen Pitassi, missions director for Angel Flight, speaks with patients to arrange flights with volunteers in their regions. She said an increasing number of patients have shown interest in the organization since she became an employee in 2001.
Berkebile said he has made a difference for people who need medical care not available locally. He became a licensed pilot seven years ago and hopes others who enjoy flying will consider volunteering with Angel Flight.
On February 28, 2017, about 1302 eastern standard time, an experimental, amateur-built Sonex, N315AL, was substantially damaged when it collided with a building in Methuen, Massachusetts, during final approach for landing at Lawrence Municipal Airport (LWM), Lawrence, Massachusetts. The sport pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was owned by the pilot who was operating it under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed near the accident site at the time of the accident, and no flight plan was filed for the local personal flight.
An acquaintance of the pilot reported that the pilot had experienced fuel leaks in the cockpit due to a cross-threaded connector. He stated that the pilot spent most of his time doing maintenance inside the cockpit. In an e-mail sent to his Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) chapter on February 25, the pilot reported that the last time he flew the airplane was on October 8, 2016. He had removed and reinstalled the fuel tank twice due to a cross-threaded outlet fitting that was causing a fuel leak at the fuel outlet connection near the fuel shutoff valve in the cockpit. He stated that the issue was fixed and that he would fly the following Tuesday (the day of the accident), during which he would remain in the airport traffic pattern and "do a bunch of touch-and-goes to make sure everything is working correctly."
On the day of the accident, the pilot purchased 12 gallons of fuel about 1245. The pilot then informed the tower controller that he would be remaining in the traffic pattern to practice takeoffs and landings. The controller issued a takeoff clearance and instructed the pilot to make a left closed traffic pattern and to report mid-field downwind. The pilot acknowledged and departed runway 14; he then reported mid-field at an altitude of 1,400 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot was subsequently cleared to land, but he never acknowledged the clearance.
The controller reported that, as the airplane turned onto the final leg of the traffic pattern about 500 ft agl, another airplane was "over the numbers" getting ready to land. He stated that, although spacing did not appear to be an issue, he observed the accident airplane make a shallow s-turn maneuver to the left, then back to the right before it suddenly nosed over in a right turn and disappeared out of view.
Several witnesses on the nearby highway saw the airplane approach from the north, then make a sudden dive before disappearing behind trees. One witness stated that the belly of the airplane was "engulfed in flames." He described the flames as "very bright red" and stated that the airplane looked like a "meteor." He stated that flames also appeared to be behind the propeller, which was turning, and "under where the pilot would sit." Additional witnesses called 911, reporting that they saw a plane go down, that it was "on fire," and that the airplane "burst into flame."
According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airman records, the pilot received his sport pilot certificate on May 21, 2014. Review of his logbook revealed 128.5 total hours of flight experience and 28 hours in the accident airplane make model as of his last logged flight about four months before the accident. The pilot did not hold an FAA medical certificate, nor was he required to as a sport pilot.
The pilot/owner purchased the airplane in January 2015 from the manufacturer in kit form. The pilot/owner completed the build and it was issued a special airworthiness certificate for experimental airplane on May 4, 2016. It was a two-seat, single-engine, low-wing, tailwheel-equipped airplane that was equipped with a Jabiru 3300L six cylinder, 120-horsepower reciprocating engine. Airframe maintenance records indicated that the airplane had accumulated 28.4 hours total time as of the last recorded entry on October 8, 2016; on this day, the pilot flew 1.4 hours. The engine logbook had one entry dated May 1, 2016 that reported, "ground run no leaks." No additional engine maintenance was documented.
The 1254 automated weather observation at LWM included variable wind at 4 knots, 10 miles visibility, scattered clouds at 9,000 ft, temperature 13°C, dew point -2°C, and an altimeter setting of 30.35 inches of mercury.
LWM was located 2 miles east of Methuen, Massachusetts, at an elevation of 147 ft mean sea level. It was equipped with two runways oriented 05/23 and 14/32. Runway 14/32 was 3,900 ft long and 100 ft wide. The surface was made of asphalt and was in good condition.
All components of the airplane were accounted for at the accident site and there was evidence of both pre- and postimpact fire. The airplane struck the roof of a three-story condominium building located about 1,800 ft from the approach end of runway 14. The airplane was found in the attic and upper bedrooms in a nose-low attitude on a heading about 208°. The empennage partially protruded from the roof. Both wings remained attached to the fuselage at their respective wing roots and were bent aft about 45°. The bedroom where the airplane came to rest caught fire, but was quickly extinguished by the building's fire suppression system. Fire damage was limited to the rooms in the immediate vicinity of the airplane.
The engine separated from the firewall and came to rest upright against a wall about 5 ft forward of the fuselage. The engine exhibited fire damage on the left side. The two-blade fixed P-Tip propeller blades separated about 12 inches from the propeller hub. The 17-gallon polymer fuel tank remained intact and secured behind the firewall and directly forward of the instrument panel. It contained about 7 gallons of 100 low lead aviation fuel. Fuel lines leading from the fuel tank were severed during impact and were leaking when the fire department arrived on scene. The fuel shutoff valve, which was installed at the lower side of the tank above the pilot's feet, was separated and found loose in the wreckage and was heavily fire damaged; its preimpact position could not be determined. The aluminum plumbing between the valve and the gascolator was consumed by fire; however, the fittings remained intact. The firewall-mounted gascolator contained residual fuel that resembled 100 low lead aviation fuel. The filter contained no contaminants and was not damaged.
The throttle body separated from the engine but remained attached by the control cable and was slightly damaged by impact forces. It displayed exterior discoloration and sooting, but no evidence of internal damage. The fuel regulator component remained attached to the throttle body; however, the fuel line into the regulator from the fuel supply had no torque and was easily spun by hand where it was threaded into the regulator. The throttle body was opened and displayed some discoloration that appeared like soot inside the air intake. The fuel regulator showed some soot deposits. Both intake and outflow lines and their respective connection nuts and couplers were undamaged at the unit and did not show any signs of heat damage, but areas under and to the left of the unit showed evidence of fire.
The spark plugs were removed; the electrodes exhibited normal wear and color when compared to a Champion inspection chart. Examination of the magnetos revealed no anomalies. The engine crankshaft was turned manually; internal engine continuity was confirmed. Compression and suction were observed on all cylinders and valve action was correct.
Flight control continuity was confirmed by operating the push/pull rods to their respective locations on each flight control surface. All connections remained intact. The aileron connections were traced visually to the dual stick flight controls but could not be operated due to impact damage. Rudder control continuity was visually confirmed, but the controls could not be operated due to impact damage.
The engine sustained fire and heat damage, with the heaviest concentration of heat damage to the lower left side of the engine. Thermal damage propagated aft past the intake and exhaust manifolds through the rear of the engine. The oil filter was fused to the engine and could not be removed. The lower oil line that connected to the oil filter was not secured. The blue aluminum connection nut was loose. There was oil spray on the lower left side of the engine. The leading edge of the intact manifold expansion gaskets were heavily damaged by fire. All intake and exhaust manifolds on the left side of the engine showed evidence of external heat signatures. There was no evidence of heat damage to the right side of the engine. The engine cowl showed interior heat damage to the bottom side with the heaviest concentrations on the bottom left and aft.
Soot, discoloration, and heat signatures were on the bottom of the fuselage and on the leading edge of the radio antennae, which exhibited blistering. Soot was also on the inboard portion of the right wing, and a soot pattern was along the right side of the fuselage that originated from an area near the front of the airplane and extended out under the right wing toward the tail.
The instrument panel was impact- and heat-damaged. It contained an Xtreme-EFIS that can display primary flight display information, navigation information, and, optionally, engine information. The unit could not be separated from the instrument panel in the field, so the entire instrument panel was removed from the wreckage and sent to the NTSB Vehicle Recorder Division for additional examination and download. The SD card was successfully read using the manufacturer's software. Only one file, from February 5, 2016, was recovered, and this file was consistent with ground-only operation. No data pertinent to the investigation was recovered.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Boston, Massachusetts, performed an autopsy of the pilot. The cause of death was multiple blunt force and thermal injuries.
Severe coronary artery disease with a previously placed stent was found in the left anterior descending coronary artery. In the area of the stent, there was 90% stenosis, and in the more distal portion of the artery, there was 80% stenosis. In the circumflex artery, there was 80% stenosis in the area of a previous stent and 40% focal narrowing elsewhere. The right coronary artery had up to 40% stenosis from atherosclerosis. There was no gross evidence of a previous heart attack, but microscopy demonstrated interstitial fibrosis, hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, and hypertensive changes of the vasculature.
The FAA's Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, performed toxicology testing on specimens of the pilot. Testing identified rosuvastatin in blood and urine. Rosuvastatin is a cholesterol lowering medication often marketed with the name Crestor and is not considered impairing.
On February 28, 2017, about 1302 eastern standard time, an experimental-amateur-built Sonex, N315AL, collided with a building in Methuen, Massachusetts, while on approach for landing at Lawrence Municipal Airport (LWM), Lawrence, Massachusetts. The sport pilot/owner/operator was fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local, personal flight that was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
The pilot purchased 12 gallons of fuel about 1245 and departed in the airplane from runway 14, about 10 minutes later. The pilot informed the LWM air traffic control (ATC) tower that he would be remaining in the traffic pattern to practice takeoffs and landings. The pilot was subsequently cleared to make a "left-closed" traffic pattern and to report "mid-field downwind." The pilot acknowledged and reported the airplane's position when he was mid-field at an altitude of 1,400 feet above ground level (agl).
At 1302, the airplane was cleared to land, but the pilot never acknowledged the clearance. According to LWM ATC tower personnel, immediately after turning left onto the final approach leg of the traffic pattern the airplane, which was about 500 feet agl made a shallow s-turn maneuver to the left, then back to the right before it suddenly nosed over in a right turn and disappeared out of view.
Several witnesses driving on the nearby highway saw the airplane approach from the north, then make a sudden nose down "dive" before disappearing behind trees. Additional witnesses reported that they saw the belly of the airplane "engulfed in flames" and described the flames as "very bright red." In addition, one witness reported that fire was coming out near the propeller as the airplane descended.
Initial examination of the wreckage revealed that the airplane struck the roof of the three story condominium complex located approximately 1,600 feet from the approach end of runway 14. The airplane entered the attic and upper bedrooms of a residence in a nose-low attitude with the empennage partially protruding from the roof. Both wings remained attached and were bent aft approximately 45°. The engine separated and was found upright, 5 feet forward and to the left of the fuselage. It exhibited fire damage on its left side. The two-blade fixed P-Tip wood propeller blades separated 12 inches outboard from the propeller hub. The 17 gallon fuel tank was intact and mounted in its normal position aft of the firewall. It contained approximately 7 gallons of fuel. Fuel lines leading from the fuel tank were severed during the collision and were leaking when the fire department arrived on scene. The buildings fire suppression system activated.
The two-seat, single-engine, low-wing, tailwheel airplane was issued a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category on May 4, 2016. It was equipped with a Jabiru 3300L, six cylinder 120 horsepower reciprocating engine.
According to pilot logbook records, the pilot received his sport pilot certificate on May 21, 2014. He had logged a total of 28.4 hours as of October 8, 2016. Various maintenance was performed on the airplane during the months prior to the accident flight. In an email 2 days prior to the accident, the pilot reported that he completed maintenance and started the airplane with no issues, but elected not to fly because of the winds.
The weather conditions reported at LWM, at 1254, included: wind variable at 4 knots, 10 statute miles visibility, scattered clouds at 9,000 feet, temperature 13° C, dew point -2° C, and an altimeter setting of 30.35 inches of mercury.
The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.

METHUEN — Emergency 911 calls released by the Methuen Police Department on Wednesday afternoon suggest the plane that crashed into a condominium Tuesday had caught fire in the air.
A woman driving on nearby Interstate 495 called 911 and said she saw the plane go down in flames.
Caller: I'm on (Interstate) 495 near Exit 46.
Dispatch: OK what's going on there?
Caller: We, um, we're on 495 and we just saw a plane crash on the side of the road, very close to the road.
Dispatch: OK, let me transfer you right over to the — do you know what town it crashed in?
Caller: Lawrence. It was heading toward the small airport that's down here.
Dispatch: OK, let me transfer you to Lawrence, don't hang up.
A Lawrence dispatcher picked up the line, and the caller restated her location.
Caller: We just saw a plane crash. It's a small plane headed toward the smaller airport, and it started catching on fire ... "
The recording released by police ends in the middle of the woman's sentence.
Another 911 caller on I-495 North also said he saw the plane in flames as it flew through the air.
Caller: I just saw a plane go down. It was on fire. It crashed what looked like right next to the Merrimack River.
Dispatch: By the Merrimack River?
Dispatch: OK, hang on I'm going to transfer you. Is it closer to the Lawrence line do you think?
Caller: I mean it looked like they were heading for the Lawrence airport.
Dispatch: OK, stay on the line. I'm going to transfer you over to Lawrence.
The dispatcher in Lawrence picked up, and the caller restated his location.
Caller: I was on the highway, I saw a plane go down near the Merrimack River, a small red plane, I was just south of exit 46 on 495 North.
Dispatch: It was a red plane?
Caller: Yes, a red plane, in the air, on fire, and it went down right near the Merrimack River. It looked like it was heading to the Lawrence airport.
Dispatch: OK, is it in the water or on the side?
Again, the recording of the call ends mid-sentence.
Inside the Prides Crossing condominium complex, a caller believed an explosion had occurred rather than a plane crash.
Dispatch: 911 where is your emergency?
Dispatch: OK, hold on. Methuen's coming right on the line, sir. Do not hang up. Is everybody out of the building safe?
Caller: I can't tell that. I'm from another building.
A dispatcher from Methuen picked up and asked what the emergency is.
Dispatcher: I have everyone started that way, sir. Are you injured?
Caller: No, I'm from another building, but now I can see flames coming from the roof.
Some chatter between the two dispatchers can be heard and the tape ends.
No one on the ground at the crash scene was injured. The pilot, former Newburyport Mayor Alan Lavender, 73, was killed.
An investigation into the crash is being conducted by National Transportation Safety Board officials, who are looking into "the pilot, the aircraft and the environment" to piece together what happened.
Air safety investigator Aaron McCarter said he and the NTSB were going through a process of corroborating witness statements about the crash. He added that the NTSB has not yet been able to determine if there were any electronic devices aboard the experimental Sonex aircraft that could help identify the cause of the crash.
McCarter said the NTSB is “very interested in what witnesses have to say” and is asking for any witnesses or anyone who has photos or video of the crash to email witness@ntsb.gov.
METHUEN -- A preliminary investigation into what caused a home-built plane to crash into a Methuen condominium complex is underway, with National Transportation Safety Board officials looking into the pilot, the aircraft and the environment to piece together what happened.
Representatives from the NTSB arrived at the scene around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday and have been in and out of the building, part of the Prides Crossing development in Methuen, ever since.
Around 1:20 p.m. Tuesday, a single-engine, two-seater experimental Sonex aircraft was on approach to runway 14 at Lawrence Municipal Airport, about a half-mile from the crash site. In addition to referring to unproven designs, the term "experimental" in aviation is used as a designation for home-built aircraft, even those based on well established designs.
“Witnesses reported that the airplane took a steep descent and disappeared behind the trees and subsequently crashed into this building through the third floor and the roof,” McCarter said.
That includes the pilot, former Newburyport mayor Al Lavender, who was killed in the crash, his training, qualifications and experience in the aircraft.
The NTSB will also examine the aircraft itself, the engineering of the plane – it has an Australian-made engine, for instance – and the environment, including air traffic control and the geography of the area.
“How all those three things fit together is part of a much larger, holistic process that’s going to take place after we leave here in three to four days,” McCarter said.
Most of the NTSB investigation will take place at its headquarters, far from the crash site, he said.
The NTSB is “very interested in what witnesses have to say” and is asking for any witnesses or anyone who has photos or video of the crash to email witness@ntsb.gov.
McCarter said he expects to be at the scene for up to four days. Part of that will include removing the plane from the building, where it remained Wednesday morning covered with a tarp and concealed behind a boarded-up window.
McCarter said a salvage company had been contacted and was expected to arrive Wednesday to do an assessment.
Resident Diane Klein-Peyser was able to return to her apartment Wednesday morning to grab more of her belongings. Wheeling a suitcase outside, she still appeared shaken by the incident.
Klein-Peyser said she spent Tuesday night with her sister in Marlborough following the plane crash, and was only able to get inside the building briefly that afternoon to grab a few belongings.
“It was get in, get out,” she said.
She had a bit more time in the building today.
“They told us to pack for a few days and we’ll see,” she said, unsure of when she would be allowed back into her home.
Klein-Peyser said she and her neighbors would come together to help those whose condos were directly hit by the plane.
METHUEN — A former Newburyport mayor died when his plane plunged into the roof of a Methuen housing development during an attempted landing Tuesday at Lawrence Municipal Airport.
A small fire broke out after the private plane crashed into two condos in the Prides Crossing complex around 1 p.m. Nobody was home at the time, and all other residents of the Riverside Boulevard building were able to get out safely, Methuen officials said.
The victim was former Newburyport Mayor Alan Lavender, 73, according to a Newburyport city councilor and an official briefed on the case.
City Councilman Robert J. Cronin described Lavender as “an avid outdoorsman” who was interested in experimental aircraft and planes from World War II. “He had a wealth of information about flying. He just enjoyed it,” Cronin said.
Lavender was elected mayor in 2001, and he had “a high moral compass,” Cronin said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the private plane was a Sonex aircraft making its final approach for a landing on Runway 14 at Lawrence Municipal Airport.
It was about a mile out from the airport, which is located in North Andover, when it crashed shortly after 1 p.m. The crash will be investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, officials said.
At the complex, the tail of a plane could be seen protruding from the roof of a multi-unit structure.
In airport radio traffic recorded by liveatc.net, the pilot could be heard talking calmly with the airport tower shortly after 1 p.m. as he headed toward the runway.
The plane hit a 12-unit building, and the 34 people who live there will not be able to return home Tuesday, according to Methuen officials.
Mark Holden, a Red Cross supervisor, arrived to see the plane sticking out of the roof and still smoking. By 3 p.m., he had talked to about 10 families who lived in the building, and he expected more to rush down to the complex as word spread.
Nancy Downey was on the first floor of the building when the plane crashed. She said she heard a loud boom, heard the smoke alarms going off, and stepped outside.
“It was raining insulation,” she said.
Vanessa Barone was home with her infant son, Enzo, when a loud noise startled her and woke the five-month-old from a nap.
She came outside soon after to see the first emergency vehicles arriving, and the tail of the plane sticking out of the roof of a building across the complex.
A seven-year resident of the complex, she said she had often joked nervously about the noise and sight of low-flying planes.
It’s not the first time that a plane has crashed at the complex. In January 1999, four people were injured when a small, single-engine plane crashed after taking off from the airport across the river.
The plane flipped in midair, hit the ground, and skidded to a stop just three feet short of Prides Crossing, according to reports from the time.
A similar incident happened at the complex in 1991, Methuen Mayor Stephen N. Zanni said.
Methuen officials said one emergency caller reported that the plane might have been trying to land in a nearby pond, while another reported that the aircraft was headed straight down, potentially releasing fuel, Zanni said.
Methuen Fire Chief Tim Sheehy said at the scene that sprinklers in the building helped control the fire, limiting the damage as firefighters rushed into heavy smoke to douse the blaze.
“If somebody was home, it would have been a lot worse, obviously,” he said.
Zanni said the city would be looking into safety at the airport, citing the previous incidents. He noted that it had been many years since there had been such a crash.
Methuen Police Captain Randy Haggar spoke to the press.
METHUEN, Mass. -- A pilot was killed Tuesday afternoon after a small plane crashed into an apartment building.
CBS Boston reports the crash happened just before 1:30 p.m. in the city of Methuen, about 30 miles northwest of Boston. There are no reports of any other casualties or injuries.
Methuen Mayor Stephen Zanni did not identify the pilot, but said he was a former city councilor in Newburyport. CBS Boston later confirmed his name is Al Lavender, who served one term as mayor of Newburyport.
In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said the pilot was attempting to land the plane when it went down.
The building was on fire following the crash, police said. All residents were able to safely escape the 12-unit building. No one was home in the apartment where the plane came to a rest.
One woman on the first floor said parts of her ceiling came crashing down on her when the plane hit the building.
The tail of the plane could be seen sticking out of the roof of the three-story complex.
Rich Ward was driving on Interstate 495 South when he saw the plane in flames in the air.
“I’ve never witnessed anything like that in my life. I can’t get it out of my head,” Ward told CBS Boston.
Keith Lontine lives less than a mile from the apartment building. He told CBS Boston he did not see flames coming from the plane before it crashed.
“I watched it fall out of the sky,” said Lontine.
Lotine said he regularly watches aircraft landing at Lawrence Municipal Airport.
Vincent Aprea, an experienced pilot who flies in the area, said the Sonex aircraft is known to have problems with the engine overheating.
The plane was described as an “experimental” aircraft.
In 1999, a plane with four people on board lost power after takeoff and crashed in the same apartment complex. The plane came to a rest against the building and no one was seriously injured.
METHUEN (CBS) – The pilot killed when he crashed into a Methuen condominium has been identified as the former city councilor and mayor of Newburyport.
Al Lavender was killed in a Tuesday afternoon crash on Riverview Blvd. in Methuen.
Lavender previously served as a Newburyport city councilor and was also mayor from 2000-2003.
“He was a kind, gentle person,” said current Newburyport Mayor Donna Holaday.
Holaday said she was surprised to learn following the crash that Lavender was a pilot. Holaday added that Lavender was an avid boater in Newburyport.
Lavender was attempting to land at Lawrence Municipal Airport Tuesday around 1:30 p.m. when he crashed into the roof of Pride’s Crossing Condo Complex.
“Our community has suffered a tremendous loss today and our thoughts and prayers are with the Lavender family,” Holaday said.
Authorities are investigating after a small plane crashed into a multi-condo building in Methuen, Massachusetts, killing the pilot, a former mayor of Newburyport.
It happened on Riverview Boulevard, across the Merrimack River from the Lawrence Municipal Airport, around 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Methuen police and FAA officials say the 60-year-old male pilot was the only person on board the single-engine Sonex aircraft, which originated from Lawrence Municipal Airport, at the time of the crash and died at the scene.
The plane was on a one-mile final approach to Lawrence Municipal Airport when it crashed into a condo at Prides Crossing on Riverview Boulevard, the FAA added.
Although the name of the deceased pilot has not been officially released by investigators pending next-of-kin notification, Newburyport Mayor Donna Holaday said Alan "Al" Lavender, who served as Newburyport's mayor from 2002 to 2003 and as a city councilor for eight years before that, was killed in Tuesday's crash.
Holaday called Lavender's death "a big loss for our city."
"He was such a caring and giving person," she said, adding that he encouraged her to first run for city council and eventually for the mayor's job.
The condo complex was the site of another small aircraft crash in 1999.
No residents were injured in the crash, which was contained to the building's attic, according to Methuen Mayor Stephen Zanni.
The FAA will investigate and the NTSB will determine a likely cause for the crash, according to officials.
Skies were partly cloudy with calm winds and a 10-mile visibility at the time of the crash, meteorologist Michael Page said.

Mortgage rates held relatively steady today, keeping them in line with the lowest levels in more than 3 weeks. There was relatively little market movement in response to the policy announcement from the European Central Bank (ECB). That's a good thing considering much of the recent gains in rates can be attributed to traders growing more optimistic about the ECB's stance.
To put all this in plain English, the ECB buys bonds. This puts downward pressure on rates around the world (more so in Europe than in the US, but we still get some indirect benefit). There was some concern at the end of June that the ECB was getting closer to announcing it would buy fewer bonds. While that day will likely come eventually, today's announcement assures markets that it hasn't been discussed yet.
The relatively calm reaction in bond markets (and the absence of changes in lender rate sheets) suggests traders were already in position for this event and may be increasingly tuned out until next week. For now, the short-term trend is positive, but we haven't been able to improve much past current levels. Risk-averse borrowers should increasingly consider locking while risk-tolerant borrowers should simply remain on-guard for a reversal next week.

There’s nothing better than a nicely brewed and dressed cup of tea to bring calm to a very rough day. Tea – especially green tea – can provide lots of positive health benefits. There is an art and science to brewing tea based on the type and water temperature. But there’s nothing worse than a bitter or tasteless cup of tea. After one sip of a poorly brewed cup of tea, the benefits and perceived value are forgotten because the contents are too difficult to swallow.
Likewise, as a leader in business, your ultimate aim is to provide a service or product that makes your clients’ lives easier and brings calm to their lives. You want to be seen, known and remembered for delivering value that’s appreciated. Feedback, evaluations and testimonials are some of the most effective ways to measure your clients’ satisfaction with your work.
Like a good cup of tea, positive feedback is always easy to swallow. However, when the experience doesn’t measure up to the promise for your client, it can leave a lasting and unpleasant taste. Likewise, for you as the recipient of negative feedback and criticism, it can leave you feeling a little bitter. But, as The Complete Leader, this doesn’t have to be true! RISE UP! Accept the reality that negative feedback is part of business. And remember, it’s up to you to set the tone and the direction for your business and the reputation of your leadership brand. Leverage your client’s feedback by allowing it to make you better instead of bitter.
Because you are in business to serve and support your clients’ needs, you must be prepared to hear what you are doing wrong without judging their motivates. Let’s face it, you can not please everyone. But you can gain a competitive advantage and make a memorable mark by being open to feedback and responding in a sincere, positive and non-defensive manner. When a client offers feedback and they feel that you genuinely care about their troubles and want to meet their needs, it builds a connected relationship. Client feedback can be invaluable when seen in a positive light.
2. Be Open– Being open means listening to criticism and feedback when it’s offered without being defensive or interrupting. Maintaining open communication also means requesting feedback from your customers on a regular basis. Let people know that you welcome their ideas and feedback equally. Being open also involves creating an approachable presence by willingly sharing honestly to build rapport. Win their trust by encouraging an open door and open heart policy. This will communicate that you care about what matters to them and that you want to have a healthy business relationship.
3. Communicate with Empathy- When you genuinely understand where your clients are coming from, you will know the response most fitting for the situation. However, this requires developing a capacity for empathy. You must be willing to put yourself in their shoes. Connect with their heart and emotions. This type of communication requires a mixture of strength, grace and warmth. So look for ways to connect and understand the situation from their perspective. Be willing to embrace the positive as well as the negative. Think before you speak and communicate to give them a piece of your heart rather than your mind. Make it about them, not you.
4. Be Flexible- Expect things to change when it comes to needs and situations. Listen objectively to criticism and negative feedback with an attitude that welcomes new ideas and flexibility. The truth is that feedback often leads to improvements that will produce greater results for the good of all. To thrive, don’t get too attached to certain ideas or ways of doing things in your business. Know from the start that all things are subject to change at all times, so be willing to compromise. Adapting to stay relevant is a worthwhile investment. And don’t be afraid to admit when you are wrong or need to course correct.
5. Watch Your Body Language- We must be astute enough to pick up social and non-verbal cues. Studies show that up to 93% of the information we communicate comes through nonverbal communication – gestures, eye contact, posture, personal space, and all the other ways we use our bodies to send messages. Therefore, when receiving and responding to criticism and feedback, align your nonverbal and verbal communication so that it matches the core message you desire to send. Stay present. Too often, we do things without thinking about them, especially when we are busy. Take time to notice both your nonverbal communication and that of others, and especially your reaction to others.
For example, pay attention to how you use your body when you are talking or listening to someone in general. Watch your stance, eye contact, placement of arms, hand movements, etc. Then when listening to criticism or feedback from your customers, make it a practice to be aware of your body language and what it may be communicating. And in turn, pay particular attention to the non-verbal cues of your customer. This holds clues not only about what is being said but also about what’s not said. So, learn to listen with your eyes and heart!
6. Create the Best Y-O-U– Allow criticism and negative feedback – even if ill-intended – to make you a much better leader. Choose to lead well and dig deep within to find the strength to push past the pain and disappointment. This is a great time for you to intentionally choose to show up as the BEST version of yourself. Investigate the comments and look closer to see where adjustments can be made. Sometimes it takes criticism and negative feedback to make the best you become great. Rise above it so that you can soar. Leave a dent by creating your best work possible.
The way you connect with customers and clients after receiving criticism and negative feedback is crucial to the health and growth of your business and leadership brand. Great business leaders are willing to courageously drink from this cup. With a positive response, you may be surprised that your clients are willing to come back for more of the value you deliver!
In the spirit of open communication and learning, I want to hear from you. What tactics or tips do you use to respond positively to feedback? I would love to hear your response. Please comment below!

The educational materials listed on this page are about Energy Conservation/Efficiency. You can browse these materials from this page or create a refined search using the filters at the left or the search box below.
The conservation of farm energy is important to both its environmental and economic sustainability. For example, efficiency on the farm is particularly important during colder months in order to reduce greenhouse energy use for vegetable farmers. Likewise, farmers growing row crops may find that fuels used to run equipment cut into the cost of production. Agricultural efficiency can be achieved by conducting a farm energy audit to determine the best ways to cut down on energy use. SARE’s resources can help you determine the best ways to increase efficiency on your farm. Key practices include byproduct utilization, bioenergy and biofuels, biodiesel, biofuel feedstocks, energy use and consumption, energy conservation/efficiency, renewable energy, solar energy, wind power, geothermal.
SARE’s book Building a Sustainable Business helps farmers build both a sustainable and profitable business plan that includes renewable energy and biofuel. The SARE bulletin Clean Energy Farming: Cutting Costs, Improving Efficiencies, Harnessing Renewables helps farmers utilize clean energy practices on their operations, which may include utilizing byproducts for biodiesel production and other renewable fuels. The Farm Energy Audits section of the E3A: Energy Education for Producers curriculum includes information on many operational areas that can see improved agricultural efficiency through the use of a farm energy audit, including equipment, grain drying, irrigation and livestock watering systems, the farm shop, livestock buildings and more. The Farm Energy Topic Room provides a wealth of information on clean energy topics, including biodiesel, farm energy audits, solar and wind energy, and more.

Depending on who you are, animated movies can be a hit or miss. If you don’t already enjoy the genre, perhaps you think they’re movies solely for children.
Shhhh. Thou doth protest too much.
Or, in layman’s terms – you don’t know what you’re missing.
Especially if you’ve ever passed up on watching any of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated films. He is basically the Steven Spielberg of of animated movies. Each movie is a masterpiece and there is something in them for adults and children alike. The movies are colorful, funny, heartwarming and the characters are complex and relatable. There usually is some sort of talking creature/ animal and the art is phenomenal. Even though the movies and the director himself are Japanese in origin – they attract a large number of American movie-watchers. They also always seem to get an incredible cast of voice actors for the English versions of the movie like Liam Neeson, Anna Paquin, Cate Blanchett, and Kirsten Dunst.
If you thought animated movies were just for children – welcome to the big leagues.
Spirited Away is an incredible movie about a girl who gets separated from her parents in a ghost town of sorts. She becomes trapped there and has incredible adventures.
Things get a bit eerie pretty quickly at the beginning of the movie. When the main character, Chihiro, and her parents come across this ghost town they are unaware of it’s otherworldly properties. They venture further into the town because they are hungry and smell food cooking. Chihiro’s parents eventually find a stall with steam billowing and dishes filled with food. They sit down and begin to help themselves, telling Chihiro to sit down with them to eat. Her father is especially hilarious because he assures her that she is fine to begin helping herself because he has credit cards to pay for whatever damage they do to the food. Chihiro is obviously unnerved by the sudden appearance of a food stall in a town that is seemingly empty. She refuses to sit down with her parents and also begs them to stop eating.
Things begin to get weird and Chihiro notices that as her parents are ravaging the food (and increasing their rate of guzzling by the second). They grab portions of unnamed food greedily and barely take time to chew as they shovel it all into their mouths. In a moment of dreadful realization, Chihiro sees that her parents are expanding – like Violet Beauregarde in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – but to her horror, they are not turning into human blueberries but morphing into pigs!
A.) That food looked amazing – whatever the heck it’s supposed to be.
B.) I love Asian food. All Asian food. Please feed me Asian food.
C.) It makes you question – if you knew you were going to turn into a pig after gorging, would you still eat the food? Well…maybe you wouldn’t but I certainly felt conflicted on the matter.
*To build the sandwich, I used Asian Bao buns. I microwaved them for a minute with a wet paper towel over them before I cut them in half and filled them. These buns are usually found in the refrigerated/freezer section of your Asian grocery store. If you can’t find these easily – you can use Hawaiian sweet rolls. They come in slider sizes that would be great with this dish.
The morning before your dinner, set up your slow-cooker to cook at the low setting for 6 hours. Throw your meat and all of your ingredients for your sauce in the cooker.
An hour or so before you’re ready to eat, make your slaw. Mix all of the ingredients with the cabbage and the carrots together and set in the fridge while you’re prepping your pork. This will give the slaw a chance to absorb all the flavors of the dressing.
While the slaw is making magic in your fridge, I like to make a gravy for the pork.
Take the pork roast out of the slow cooker and set it on a plate and set it aside.
Pour the remaining juices of of the pork into a large sauce pan and bring the liquid to a boil.
Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to let the liquid simmer for about 3-4 minutes to reduce a bit. While your sauce is simmering, make a slurry of 1/4 cup of cold water and two tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix together and pour into the simmering sauce. Stir the sauce and let it cook until the mixture begins to thicken. Once the sauce has thickened – you’re ready to slather some pork with it!
Shred your pork with ravenous savagery.
Build your sandwiches with your bread and and pork. Top with your sauce and heap piles of cold, refreshing slaw on top and devour sixteen sandwiches.
Don’t bother restraining yourself on this one. You wont turn into a pig, I promise.

Fursona's Themesong? - page 3 - furries on furry - Furtopia | Family Friendly Furry Forum and IRC Chat!
Mad world by... Not sure. I thought it was Gary Jules, but some people say it's Adam Lambert. o.O Anyways, it fits well with me, which means it fits my fursona by default.
Vioectrolysis - No More Heroes. I love this theme.
Basically, it also describes me. I used to be extremely socially awkward and was basically a hermit, but then I found furry and through it became more social and outgoing. I'm still a bit awkward but getting better, and that's a lot similar to what this song is about.
Plus it's got a great beat.
[This.] Dub FX is amazing. All the sounds and beats you hear in his songs are made with his voice, and the lyrics are always a great stuff.
Alternatively, [this], because 30 Seconds is also good (just not as good).
I've posted several possibilities, but at this point, I'd say its this.
Still Alive - Mirror's Edge OST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TERyxFfMqDk For the lyrics, and the sound of the song. Makes me really jealous of the female voice, which essentially has no limits.
I saw "still alive" and I thought it was a portal song.
What?! I haven't posted here?!
Okay. The themesong at the moment would be One Foot on the Gas, One Foot in the Grave by Streetlight Manifesto. Amazing song full of the same energy I have.
I wanna be somebody, be somebody sooooon!
Well, I'm a little bit of a musician so one of my songs called Mist would probably fit my fursona the best.
Alexandre's is probably "With Our Hands" by Furries In A Blender.
Marc's is probably either "Magic Hours" by Explosions In The Sky or "Lyon" by Pinback.
Heh, and here I thought I was the only one who still likes The Stray Cats.
If I was god of the furry fandom, I would make every feline furry listen to that song.
Women and booze are similar - too much of either, and one day you'll wake up in a gutter without any pants.
Yes, it is very awesome.
I wish I could be as carefree and wild, but I got cat class and I got cat style!
Reason why is that I wrote in a story that my fursona hates the way he looks. He's a wolf with a tiger's stripes and his tail can't make up its damn mind on what it is. The tail looks like an overly long wolf's tail but instead of just wagging it slashes around and twitches like a feline tail. The fur that he marries is the one who gives him his theme song.

Oh this is a great product and I am so happy I found it! I use it as a gargle for a throat infection caused by an allergy to Combivent Respimat and not even my ENT could get it to clear up after 4 years of trying! Three days of gargling with this product, twice a day, cleared up the mess, killed the constant gagging itch and my throat is no longer red. I intend to use it everyday, maybe dropping to once in the evening. Plus, It is really salty and being edible it can be used in food as a salt substitute.

Raising A Child is a wonderful step to take in life. Once you become a parent, you become instantly aware of the many joys, responsibilities and challenges this incredible job brings. One challenge of bringing up a child is that your children, regardless of age, are likely to have their own perspective on things. This article will take you through different ways of dealing with the highs and lows of parenthood.
Lay your child on the counter in the kitchen and lay a rolled towel under his neck; use the faucet water and put it on his hair and scalp. For many young toddlers, this will take away the fear that can come from dunking their heads in the water.
No two children are alike. Specific actions you take may yield results in one child, but get an opposite response from another child. Rewards and punishment will be effected. Even so, keep track of what methods have worked well for you.
If your child is not having an easy time cutting teeth, try putting cucumbers, carrots, or sour pickles in their mesh teether. While other methods of relief do work, your child is more likely to continue gnawing on an item if there is a taste involved. Encourage them to chew for as long as they desire, and the longer this is, the better their mood should be.
Always remember you have needs as well, and don’t forget to take good care of yourself when possible. Even if you’re having a stressful and hectic day go ahead and take some time to relax, you want to re-energize yourself. By the time you return, you will feel ten times better and it will be reflected in the interactions between your children and yourself.
If you want to avoid getting your children too cranky and bored, then periodically make travel stops. The longer distance that you travel, the more stops you should make. While it might be tempting to try to get to your destination as quickly as possible, taking a more leisurely approach results in less fussing from the backseat! There plenty of places to stop along the way, like restaurants, parks, or anywhere with some open area to let your children stretch their legs out.
Continuously alternate the toys you make available to toddlers as a way to stave off boredom and as a way of reminding them of all the things they own. It is common for toddlers to become uninterested in their toys, unless it’s something they truly love. This will save you the expense of buying new toys regularly and your child will have more fun discovering and rediscovering toys.
Your child will become more confident in his abilities if you allow him to help with a variety of tasks. Allow children to help put away dishes, clean toys and choose their own clothes for the day. Let your kid sort the socks when it comes time to fold the laundry. These things will help them to feel they are being helpful, and will also help them to feel independent.
When traveling with children, ask about family security lines at the airport. Many airports now have them in place. This allows you to not be rushed or feel that other travelers are getting impatient with your children. Remember that everything will be scanned by the x-ray machine, including shoes, car seats and diaper bags.
Parenthood is easily one of the most gratifying and simultaneously demanding jobs you will ever have. Whether your children are teenagers or toddlers, the issues of parenting will never really end. Hopefully the tips presented in this article will be an invaluable source of help when you next have a parenting dilemma.
