It was our second day in Vijayawada..
We started our day very late, as we had to meet a friend over there. Moreover the day was really hot and humid. As the sun started settling down by evening we started off to our destination for the day - Kanaka Durga Temple.
6. Kanaka Durga Temple This temple is located on Indrakeelaadri Hill along the banks of Krishna river which is at a distance of 2.5 Km from the Vijayawada bus station.
Direct bus (Durgamma Divyaratham) to the hillock where the temple is located is available from the Pandit Nehru Bus station. Alternatively one can reach the temple by walking up the hill which will take hardly 15-20 minutes.
It is said that this is the place where Goddess Durga(Hindu goddess) rested for a while after killing Mahishasura (Demon). Ofcourse, there are many legends associated with this temple..
Photography is not allowed inside the temple. One has to keep Camera or phone-with camera in the counters provided at the entrance of the temple.
View from the Indrakeelaadri hill where the Kanaka Durga temple is located..
Next place we wanted to visit was Prakasam Barrage.
Barrage is basically a dam. Prakasam barrage connects Krishna district to Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. Its located very near to the Kanaka Durga temple. We went on foot to the barrage. It looked more like a bridge.
We didn't walk over the entire stretch of 1.2 KM, as our time got wasted because the road was blocked for some VVIP to pass through.
We got the privilege to walk through the empty roads of barrage as soon as the VIP had gone, which is otherwise filled with vehicles.
However, lack of proper fencing is making prakasam barrage a most sought after suicide point in Vijayawada.
Try out south Indian delicacies like Dosa, Idli and Andhra special Thali.
The street where we stayed in became lively with many varieties of street foods by evening.
As we were travelling mostly by shared autos and in bus, we couldn't visit some places due to the lack of time and tiredness. I will list down more places to see which we missed..
Rajiv Gandhi Park which is 1km distance from bus station.
And it was time for us to say goodbye to Vijayawada.
It's good to take a break from the usual routine of things what we do. Be it work or traveling or whatever. This time for me it was the place and the company I got to roam with.
It was worth an experience, setting out to a complete strange place with the company of a girl without knowing the regional language and much about the place. And Vijayawada didn't disappoint us. The place was beautiful and the people were compassionate. Moreover, all the visiting places are somewhat near and easily approachable by public transport. Hence the money spent for the whole trip was much lesser.
This trip for us was about knowing new things and feel it instead of hurrying to see every nook and corner..
Do you take break from what you do routinely ???
If so, whats your way and how you do it??
I'd love to hear from you in the comments..
Yeah.. Heard that the beach is beautiful.. But I think if we are relying on public transport, we need more time to club Suryalanka beach and amaravathy stupa along with Vijayawada.. Anyway, planning to visit Suryalanka beach soon.. :) Thankyou for the suggestion..

"The Impact of Initial Public Offerings on the External Growth Strategi" by Tobias Schmidt, Michael J. Dowling et al.
The goal of this paper is to examine the impact of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) on the investment strategies of young entrepreneurial firms. Hypotheses are developed from the finance, strategy and top management team literature. These are then tested using multivariate methods in order to study post-IPO investment behavior of a global sample of young Internet firms.

The leader of the New Zealand Company's first expedition, Colonel William Wakefield, was the first to suggest a beacon or lighthouse would ease entry into Wellington harbour. The expedition's ship, the Tory, had struggled in on its first visit on 20 September 1839 – and ships carrying the Company's settlers were due within months. But Wakefield took no action to remedy the situation; nor did Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson after he proclaimed sovereignty over the country in May 1840.
The first steps were instead taken by Wellington's settlers. In December 1841 a public meeting was held in response to two shipwrecks that had occurred ‘for want of a lighthouse or signal station, and pilots'. Those attending admonished the Company and the colonial government, but also resolved to take action themselves by raising a public subscription for a temporary lighthouse. They raised enough for two beacons, and erected one of these at Pencarrow. Unfortunately, they didn't heed warnings that the beacon would prove too frail for the headland. By April 1842 it had been destroyed in a gale.
The following month Hobson extended an ordinance to Wellington giving its borough council the power to erect beacons and lighthouses. This was an opportunity for local action on a grander scale, but the ‘poorly endowed’ council actually stood little chance of achieving anything. Its elections were only held in October 1842 and by December 1843 the power had returned to the colonial government, the British government having disallowed the ordinance. The colonial government agreed to fund a replacement beacon in 1844. But it proved entirely inadequate – it was only visible from about eight kilometres in good weather. The Pickwick, the Tyne and the Maria were all wrecked before the colonial government was convinced of the need for a lighthouse visible at night and in poor weather.
Following the wreck of the Maria on 23 July 1851, when 26 lives were lost, a public meeting was held and a deputation sent to Governor George Grey. He agreed to advance money for a lighthouse and keeper's accommodation, to be funded by an extra duty on spirits. But while the extra duty was imposed, all the settlers received was a temporary keeper's cottage (and keeper, George Bennett), with a light placed in its window. Plans for the lighthouse, drawn up by Edward Roberts of the Royal Engineers' Department in 1852, were put on hold.
In 1854 the general government's committee on beacons and lighthouses reported that the existing arrangement at Pencarrow was inadequate. But by 1857 it had taken no further action. Wellington's provincial government – by then functioning for four years – grew impatient. It asked Roberts to arrange to have the lighthouse he had designed five years earlier built in England. This was opposed by the general government, which argued that such lighthouses were its responsibility. Wellington's superintendent Isaac Featherston responded that the province was simply improving upon the existing ‘harbour' light that the government had sanctioned funds for in the past. He directed Roberts and Gladstone and Company, the provincial government's agents in London, to continue negotiating a tender for the casting of the lighthouse.
By July 1857 Gladstone and Company had accepted a tender of £2435 from Messrs Cochrane and Company of Woodside Iron Works, Dudley. By the end of the year Roberts advised that Edward Wright had been selected to supervise the erection of the lighthouse. After years of inadequate solutions, a permanent lighthouse – and the man needed to erect it – were finally on their way.
We have 1 event in history, 1 biography, 8 articles, related to Pencarrow Lighthouse.

‘Write what you know’ is the ambiguous advice administered to new writers. When I was first trying to write, having finally decided to ‘just do it’, it felt like floundering on a wet slab – where to start, where to turn, who to ask. What did I know? Eventually, I sent articles to newspapers that asked for comments and letters from readers and offered to pay for them. What joy to be published! What more joy to be paid! The following appeared in the Guardian Family Section a good few years ago.
Sundays were for outings. Sometimes these involved a picnic and planning and sometimes were no more than a walk round the block; five miles of lanes and views, and chatting. On one walk we came across a dead horse lying by the roadside; a big, chestnut coloured mound. ‘Poor noble beast,’ my mother said, in the voice that meant she was upset. ‘He must have had a heart attack.’ We did not linger.
I suppose there was endless wondering and staring still to do at a beast that was both noble and dead. When we got back home, word spread like wildfire. ‘We’ve seen a dead horse! We’ve seen a dead horse! We’ve seen a dead horse!’ The announcement summoned the neighbourhood children.
Every wheeled object that would take us back there, faster than our own two feet, was pressed in to use. Skates, scooters, tricycles and bicycles and a go-cart, with those vehicles that would stand it, bearing at least two children, set off in a cavalcade. We stayed, forming a respectful circle around the horse until the light started to fade, and we knew we had to go home.

Concerns have been raised after more than 200,000 tonnes of 'radioactive' mud from Hinkley Point power station will be dumped in the Bristol Channel.
EDF Energy, the company behind Hinkley Point C development in Bridgwater, has obtained a marine licence to dump up to 200,000 cubic metres of dredged material in the Bristol Channel – just a mile off Cardiff Bay.
The dredging licence was granted to the French energy giant in 2013 and it gives them the right to discharge materials at Cardiff Grounds, a sandbank in the Bristol Channel.
The dredging will take place close to Hinkley Point A power station which was decommissioned in 2000 after 25 years of operation.
But one expert expressed fears the mud might have a higher level of radioactivity than what is currently believed.
The £19.6 billion nuclear power station was approved by the British government last September and as part of the construction, offshore sites in Bridgwater Bay will be dredged and sediment removed.
There is no confirmation of when the dredging of the radioactive mud at Bridgwater Bay will start.
Expert Tim Deere-Jones, an independent marine pollution researcher, analysed the mud and waste which could be dumped off the coast of Wales and expressed multiple concerns about the waste.
Mr Deere-Jones says that there are 50 different radionuclides and that testing has only taken place on three of those.
Additionally, he says that he believes only surface samples have been taken.
He says that while samples of from between 0 and 5cm have been taken, research from other sites has shown that if samples are taken from five times deeper, there can be a five times higher collection of radioactivity.
Mr Deere-Jones also is concerned that tides in Wales could cause the waste could be transferred from the sea into land.
The independent marine pollution researcher has also petitioned the Welsh Government to postpone the dredging licence to allow him more time to put together a fully-referenced scientific paper about his concern.
Speaking about the dredging concerns, an EDF spokesman told the BBC: "We have undertaken a number of assessments as part of this application which concluded the activities pose no threat to human health or the environment."

When you purchase a CORSAR Card, $2 of the $3 price for a one year card and $9 of the $12 price for a five year card goes into the fund. These funds are then used to reimburse county sheriffs and search and rescue teams for actual expenses they may have during a mission. The fund also helps to pay for equipment and training for Colorado's search and rescue teams.
You can purchase your card using one of the two buttons below or visit one of the vendors in the Metro Denver area and I-70 corridor. You may also Purchase one online using your credit card at the official State of Colorado CORSAR site here. Be sure to follow the link that allows you to "Purchase Online."
What happens if I don't have a COSAR card?
Through SAR Fund grants, SAR teams receive equipment, such as radios or ropes, and send team members to special SAR training courses. The fund will also pay for team or volunteers' equipment that is damaged during SAR missions.
NO. The COSAR Card is not "insurance" nor is "insurance" needed. Sheriffs and SAR teams do not charge for SAR in Colorado, so never hesitate to call for help. Delaying a call for a SAR team can cause needless danger in a rescue, or unnecessarily complicate a search for a missing party. Always err on the side of caution and call 911 as soon as possible. County sheriffs and their search and rescue teams will respond to your emergency whether or not you have a COSAR Card.
There usually is not a great cost of an individual search or rescue mission. The cost is not to respond and carry out the mission - it is in preparing for one and standing by: training, equipment, insurance, vehicles, maintenance, fuel, supplies, etc.
The Colorado SAR Fund is a state-administered reserve pool of money that can reimburse a county sheriff or a search and rescue agency for expenses **they** might incur in search and rescue missions: damaged or destroyed SAR team and personal equipment, helicopter time, food for searchers, fuel and the like. Search and rescue teams are the usual recipients of SAR Fund money. Just as importantly, it provides tens of thousands of dollars in grants for training and equipment to Colorado's search and rescue teams.
What good is a CORSAR Card, a sportsmen's license or vehicle registration?
It does not "insure" you against a bill for a helicopter (you should expect a bill for a medical helicopter, just as an ambulance), or for rescue operations, or for a multiple day search: there is no bill for search and rescue team's services in Colorado.
It is Colorado's financial safety net that protects rescuers and sheriffs, by ensuring a sheriff's department can afford occasional expensive mission costs; and by equipping and training Colorado's SAR volunteers.
The Summit County Rescue Group thanks The Alpine Rescue Team for the use of their CORSAR write-up.

I absolutely love my pink Caddy! It reminds me of what Elvis bought his mama 🙂 The details and real wheels are amazing! I love storing things inside using it mostly as decoration! Ive gotten so many compliments!
I can’t get enough of this art and own the VW bus cooler too!
Thank you for the fantastic feedback, we love hearing it. Feel free to share any photos you may have. Thank you again.
I purchased the pink Caddy cooler and it has generated so much curiosity and comments. It is always a conversation piece at our picnics here in the Northwoods. An awesome piece to compliment our real Cadillac in the garage. Very cool!
Thank you so much for the kind words, the team will be thrilled to hear it. We love hearing stories about our pieces and how they become such great additions.

The Milwaukee Bucks first-round pick can't wait to make an impression with his teammates.
The word “dream” comes up a lot at the Las Vegas Summer League. For some, it comes true. For others, it drives them to keep trying.
For Donte DiVincenzo, becoming a first-round pick in the NBA Draft isn’t a dream come true, it’s the last box checked on a prediction made several years ago.
During his junior year at Salesianum, he told one of his coaches that he wanted to win a state championship, become player of the year, win a national championship in college and be a first-round pick in the NBA.
Four years later, DiVincenzo finds himself with each of those goals accomplished after the Milwaukee Bucks chose him with the No. 17 pick in the NBA Draft.
“It’s all been a whirlwind, honestly,” DiVincenzo said.
Before the Bucks picked him in June, DiVincenzo won a national title with Villanova in March, declared for the draft in April, and had a standout performance at the NBA Combine in May.
Since then, he’s gone through the gauntlet that comes with being one of the first 30 names called in Brooklyn: media requests, official introductions, even throwing out the first pitch at a Milwaukee Brewers game.
Now, he has a little time to focus on what has brought him so much attention.
It seemed like nothing could slow DiVincenzo down, but a right groin injury has kept him out of Milwaukee’s first three summer league games. DiVincenzo said he suffered the injury a few weeks ago and has received treatment since arriving in Milwaukee.
Although he expressed his desire to put on a Bucks uniform and play in Las Vegas, the time off has allowed him to take a step away and begin to adjust to the professional game.
Whether or not DiVincenzo suits up in Las Vegas, he’ll gun for a spot in the rotation as the season draws closer. A summer league debut pales in comparison to a regular season one, but before that happens, DiVincenzo has something that has seemed rare since the national championship game: time. His plan on how he wants to use that time is simple.
As his profile grew throughout the NCAA Tournament, so did the popularity of his “Michael Jordan of Delaware” moniker, which Villanova head coach Jay Wright gave him as a nod to his “rock star” status in high school.
Brendan Haley, DiVincenzo’s coach at Salesianum, said Wright had concerns about whether he would have to deal with a big ego once DiVincenzo arrived at Villanova, but that was far from the case. In fact, Wright believes the attention he received while at Salesianum helps DiVincenzo handle the hype.
When it comes to representing the state of Delaware, Wright said DiVincenzo takes pride in being from Delaware but has a “really narrow focus” on the goal in front of him. Haley said his former star embraces the responsibility and believes DiVincenzo doesn’t think about it too much.
The amount of support he receives from the local community surprised the coach, considering DiVincenzo played for what Haley proclaimed as the “evil empire” at Salesianum.
Anything that can make a rookie’s transition easier is critical to early success, including having others to share that experience. For DiVincenzo, he said he keeps in touch with his former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Omari Spellman and Mikal Bridges, all of whom are playing in Las Vegas.
That quartet is the latest in a recent stream of Villanova Wildcats to flood the professional ranks. Villanova sent three assistant coaches to catch up with them as well as other former players, Daniel Ochefu, Kris Jenkins and Ryan Arcidiacono.
The fact that all those players keep in touch with each other doesn’t surprise Wright, who takes “a great amount of pride” that his players are close. That connection is particularly helpful for DiVincenzo, the lone rookie on Milwaukee’s roster.
After his record-breaking performance in the national title game, it wasn’t shocking DiVincenzo declared for the draft. His stock was likely as high as it could be, which led some to wonder why he decided to participate in the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. It seemed that he had little to gain as he already played himself into a borderline first-round prospect.
Right from the first day, however, DiVincenzo turned heads. His 42-inch vertical leap tied for first at the event. When scrimmages began, he continued his impressive run of play, and Wright knew his star guard was gone.
Wright heard around 16 teams had DiVincenzo graded as a first-round pick, and a couple days before the May 30 deadline, they both knew what was going to happen.
About a month later on draft night, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver walked to the podium with Milwaukee’s decision in hand. Silver called DiVincenzo’s name, hugs were shared, and a moment DiVincenzo predicted four years before came to fruition.

Join superguide Ake Lindstrom for a thorough expedition in the Kilimanjaro. Experience 6 different ecosystems and then conquer the summit.
Summit Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 m above sea level.
Experience Kilimanjaro with a superguide that has a deep understanding of the mountain, with over 60 summit ascents.
Join a group of like-minded traveller, for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Top-notch equipment will aid you in this undertaking.
Benefit from engaging and rewarding acclimatisation days where you will explore lesser known aspects of the mountain.
Arrival in Tanzania. Tonight, you are in a luxury lodge. After meeting the Ake and the team, you attend a briefing. The seriousness of the undertaking dawns on you. You check the gear diligently and get into the adequate mindset. Tomorrow, you take on Kilimanjaro.
There are many commercial routes up the mountain. Many travellers want a quick ascent, to snap a selfie, mission accomplished. Not you. The western slopes are difficult but immensely rewarding. A short trek shows you just how difficult. You haven’t even begun the ascent yet.
You make your way into the Shira Plateau. In the span of a morning, you enjoy three different ecosystems. You spot wonderful animals, such as the white-naped raven. This is the lowest point at which altitude sickness can be felt. You are doing alright, but your legs are getting heavier. Tonight you camp under the stars.
From the Shira Plateau, you trek towards Kibo Massif. One of the three volcanoes that make up Kilimanjaro. It is a relatively easy day. Your guides are monitoring everyone’s progress carefully. Acclimatization is paramount. However, you learn of the volcanic eruptions that shaped this mythical mountain.
The horses are trudging up a rocky slope, and the Andes tower ominously above you. Facundillo uses his potent hindquarters and hops up with determination. You can feel the power move you intensely. Horses do not make for good mountaineers. You must proceed on foot to the summit. The mysterious mountains show their most inhospitable face. The wind is strong in the ridge. Fortunately, you descend to the crater lagoons. A bit protected for the wind, you manage to enjoy lunch. When he hears you approach, Facundillo neighs warmly. You have had a taste of the forces of nature. Patagonia protects itself, and that is a good thing. You ride back at an easy trot.
Today is all about an old mountaineers adage: walk high, sleep slow. You climb to the Lava Tower at 4,600 m. Now this is a proper challenge. You descend for the evening towards Barranco, a rather awe-inspiring location.
The summit prep begins. You traverse Barranco wall and make your way through the valley. The ascent has truly begun. You look down to the mists that cover the endless plains of Tanzania. It is otherworldly, to say the least.
The climate has changed completely. It is cold, there is snow, and you find it hard to believe you are in the heart of Africa. Today you reach the last camp before the summit. The group has grown closer, you are all partaking in an epic adventure.
The summit is just within reach. The effect of the altitude is written on the faces of those around you. You try to keep your composure. High-mountain pace is slow and yet taxing. Finally, you reach the roof of Africa. After lunch, and some respite to take in the moment, you must all head to lower slopes. This is not a place for humans, but for gods.
You make your descent through a delightful forest where flowers endemic to this area grow. When you reach your refuge for the night, you are met by a welcomed prospect: showers. After you’ve washed away the last days of exertion, you join your fellow travellers for a lovely celebration, where you eat in abundance, you exchange stories, and build bonds of friendship.
Today is farewell. You knew you would get the “Africa Bug”, and your Blueflower adventure continues in the wildest reaches of Serengeti. You’ve surveyed the house from the roof, now it’s time to explore it.

Dow Chemical Solar shingles that any roofer can install.
Dow Chemical has unveiled a residential roof shingle in the form of a solar panel designed to be integrated into asphalt-tiled roofs.
Jane Palmieri, managing director of Dow’s Solar Solutions unit, said the Powerhouse thin-film shingle slashes installation costs because it can be installed by a roofer who is already building or retrofitting a roof.
“As a roofer is nailing asphalt shingle on roof, wherever the array needs to be installed he just switches to solar shingle,” said Ms. Palmieri, who said the solar singles are similarly attached to the roof with nails.
An electrician is still needed to connect the completed array to an inverter and to a home’s electrical system, but unlike conventional solar panels that must be wired together, the solar shingles plug into each other to form the array.
Dow plans to begin test-marketing the solar shingle in mid-2010, initially targeting new-home construction. Ms. Palmieri said the market could be worth $5 billion by 2015 and noted that 90 percent of homes in the United States use asphalt shingles.
Dow designed the shingles, which will initially be manufactured at the company’s Midland, Mich., facility. Global Solar of Tucson, Ariz., is supplying the thin-film solar cells.
Thin-film has generally not been used for residential systems because of its relatively low efficiency – Global Solar’s cells are 10 percent efficient. That means a larger array is required generate the same of amount of electricity as conventional solar panels.
But Dave Parrillo, the senior research and development director for Dow Solar Solutions, said the solar shingles can offset between 40 percent and 80 percent of a home’s electricity consumption.
Ms. Palmieri said a solar shingle array is 10 percent to 15 percent cheaper than a standard rack-mounted solar panel system and about 40 percent less expensive than competing building-integrated photovoltaic products.
“Our objective is to prove that this can be a mainstream adopted product,” she said.

Racking of the work is the first step in the galvanizing process. This allows the work to be lifted and moved for processing.
A hot caustic bath is used to remove soils, rolling oils, grease and soluble paint. However, it will not remove vinyls, asphalt or welding slag. Mechanical removal of these materials should be done before shipping the work to us.
A bath of hot sulfuric acid is used to remove surface rust and mill scale to provide a chemically clean metallic surface.
The work is then given a pre-galvanizing inspection.
The cleaned work is then slowly lowered through the flux blanket into the bath of 850 degree zinc. The high temperature provides the metallurgical bond.
The work being withdrawn from the zinc bath.
The work is then cooled in a bath of water and chromate. The chromate provides protection from the formation of wet storage stains. This is a service that few galvanizers provide.
Time is taken to perform a post galvanizing inspection. Looking specifically for complete coverage.
The post galvanizing inspection also includes a coating thickness test.

Chilean artist and choreographer born in 1941, she migrated to the USA at the end of the 60s, where she participated actively in the New York scene during the 70s and the 80s. A founding member of the Natural History of the American Dancers, Carmen Beuchat has developed a connection between her visual and choreographic work with a strong emphasis on spatial compositions, inserting mobile structures into her pieces.
In Chile, she is recognized as the first source of contact improvisation and composition techniques related to North American postmodern dance. She held dance workshops in the midst of the Chilean dictatorship, initiating a process of great transformation, not only in formal terms but also in terms of a philosophy about the body in motion.
Since the 90s she settles back in Chile working as head of several dance schools and developing creative and educational programmes in Santiago and Valparaíso. She is currently living in Quetroleufu, South of Chile, in the middle of a forest, where she receives constant visits from students, dancers and artists.

Just thought I'd let Coopers know that the profanity filter works.
Tried changing my password several times and I got messages saying the new one was too weak.
After trying one about a foot long it still said it was too weak.
The next attempt I added a "profanity" on the end.
That is why I have been unable to post for a while. They keep getting blocked.
My new password is 21 characters long. My bank password is 6 characters long, good to see a forum about beer is more secure than my bank.
I only changed my password when the new forum came online, tried to log in on my phone a couple of days ago and couldn't even remember what it was.
BTW, who is currently the best AFL team in South Australia?
The Roos playing an away game in Adelaide.
We smashed the Roos away from home when we played them earlier in the season. They've done better than the scribes predicted this season, but they won't play finals. Their easier draw earlier in the season now has them having to play the better sides in the competition equalling more losses than wins. Their predictable slide is just beginning.
If they make the final 8, they've done very well (IMHO).

As co-owner of Spokane, Washington–based Framework Meetings and Destinations, Wendi Haught wears many hats for the firm’s clients once their event destination is sourced and contracted. She earned her DES certification in 2015, thanks to a scholarship provided by Meetings + Conventions Calgary.
Based on what we all see happening in the daily application of technology and information access, it seems the natural next step will be having the meeting “in the palm of your hand.” The team here at Framework Meetings has always wanted to be fully immersed in our industry; the option of earning the DES certification fits our innovative style.
How are you using digital and hybrid events?
We have two key clients with multiple annual programs and a rural base of attendees. We are working with them on designing a learning opportunity for those past and prospective participants who may not get the time or travel approval to attend the face-to-face conferences. This way, they still can pursue their learning as well as stay engaged with the clients’ organizational brand.
What is the future for digital events?
Digital events will begin to be less daunting to both organizers and users with the increasing options in technology and personal connectivity. It won’t matter if the genesis is the organization deciding to use digital events for its own objectives, or the participant requesting more availability of digital options—the competition for participants’ time will drive more programs in the digital direction.

I can hardly believe it’s the last day of the summer holidays. At the start of the holidays, seven weeks stretching out in front of us felt so unbelievably long, yet now we’re at the end I almost feel as though they slipped through our fingers. Of course this isn’t the case at all and we’ve packed so much into our #sevenweeksofsummer. In fact there’s definitely been weeks where we ended up doing too much – where I had managed to plan something in for every single day. Looking back perhaps we’d have benefited from more “calm down days” but then equally, those days tended to be the days where the bickering and irritations set in.
Getting out and about with three kids can be stressful – getting everyone dressed, fed and out of the door whilst sorting yourself out and packing a picnic can be prone to stressful moments (equally, some days it just goes smoothly and you’re in the car ten minutes earlier than planned…) Mostly, our days out have been those planned with other people – various Butler adventures to the coast, to Leeds to meet up with Aunty Nic or Jaime and even a trip to Birmingham to see Donna. We’ve been to festivals, had a holiday in Scarborough and even enjoyed five nights with no kids at all. There’s been more ice cream than you can shake a stick at and sun cream by the gallon, picnics, paddling pools and water fights. We’ve done our best to make the most of those sunny days when they’ve put in an appearance (anyone else notice they often seemed to fall on a Tuesday!?) and braved the odd rainy day too.
I’m not sure I’m ready for the summer to end yet. I’m not ready to give up our lazy mornings, the hope of sunshine or our regular ice cream treats. I’m not ready for routine and rain. However, the kids are. They are ready for routine, for catching up with their friends and for learning. It’s time get going again, to lay the uniforms out, get the dinner money ready and prepare for the daily drama over lost shoes and hair bobbles.
We’d never take the kids before, in fact Dave hadn’t been either – so it was a really lovely adventure.
Those weeks just flew by, hard to believe it’s September already. Just carted my little off to school this morning. What a fabulous summer you guys had, so many memory-making adventures!!

ICG canyoneering backpacks set the standard for comfortable, intelligent, and durable design in the brutal canyon environment. Our Heaps packs ride as smoothly as backpacking packs, but sacrifice unneeded bells and whistles to deliver sleek, technical performance. The packs shed water quickly, rarely get caught up on canyon debris, and are big enough to stow everything we need on long guided days.
With 200+ user days, 700+ immersions, and countless chimney squeezes and grating stems last season, my Heaps Pack survived and served us faithfully. Imlay canyoneering packs are invaluable tools in the canyon, and we love them. Thanks for the great work, Tom.
Here in America, a canyoneering pack must be both effective and sufficiently durable for the rigors of the sport. We have combined - HYBRIDIZED - the best of American-style, sophisticated Cordura nylon packs with durable plasticized PVC-laminate fabric to produce canyoneering packs that do both - work AS PACKS, and resist rapid destruction.
SUSPENSION Every Imlay canyoneering pack has a sophisticated suspension appropriate to the volume of the pack and the anticipated load. Heaps and Kolob packs sport our light-yet-rigid Tube-Light frame. Twin tubular aluminum pack stays provide rigid support at minimal weight. The stays are linked to the pack body via plastic demi-sheets that fit firmly into the back panel of the pack. A triple layer foam pad provides 3/4" of padding between your back and this structure allows the pack to adjust to your individual shape. Shape is designed in to the panels of the pack, but the system is adaptable and fits a wide range of back sizes and shapes.
Substantial bi-laminate shoulder straps and a bull-horn-shaped, wrap-around conical hipbelt are lined with p-plush nylon 3-D mesh to complete our top-of-the-line suspension, suitable for carrying big, heavy loads for those Grand Canyon Mega-Days.
Smaller packs need less, and therefore get less. The Spry and Mystery packs have a flexible plastic sheet with a 1/2" of foam padding, with wing-style hipbelts and re-curve shoulder straps. The Leprechaun has a nice piece of foam, sufficient for its modest size.
CONSTRUCTION A canyoneering pack must be able to drain quickly, and Imlay canyoneering backpacks are designed from the start to expedite expellation of water when you exit a pothole. Each pack is two packs in one - an INNER pack made from heavy-duty nylon mesh, and an EXTERIOR of PVC-Laminate and 1000 denier Cordura nylon fabric. The mesh allows water too move freely to the generous punched-hole drains. Care is taken that no non-draining pockets are created - for instance, the bottom panel of the lid is entirely mesh, so water cannot get trapped in the lid to trickle down your neck as you hike to the next pool.
SHAPES Imlay canyoneering backpacks are carefully shaped to minimize the encumberance to downclimbing and rappelling. The bottom of the pack is tightly shaped to present a compact, smooth shape to the environment, and to hang-up as little as possible on downclimbs and slides. Lack of straps and gadgets on the lower part of the pack minimizes the chance of a strap or flap lodging in a crevice.
FEATURES An inside watertank pocket allows use of a reservoir, if you want. The strong handle allows secure dangling while rappelling. Side compression straps can hold a rope or wetsuit securely. Large pleated back pockets are sized to fit a helmet, so it need not hang on the outside to flop back and forth; with a drain, of course. The capacious lid has a heavy #10 zipper with double-layer 1000 denier Cordura flap, carefully styled for easy access, and easily adjustable back and front.
Make me smile! The Lep is a canyoneering pack just big enough for what you need, and not big enough for what you don't need. When canyons are dominated by climbing and any pack at all is a substantial encumbrance, the Leprechaun really shines. It is smaller than you are, and glides gracefully through the canyons, just like you do. Ideal for canyons where WAY less is WAY more functional.

During May 2003 I paid a visit to my family and friends in Taunton. I took a few photos, so here they are.
I also visited (but did not photograph) The Anchor, Hillfarrance; The Victory, Allerford; The Lamb and Flag, Blagdon; The Queens Arms, Pittminster; and Brazz, Taunton. Of all of these pubs, the Lamb and Flag is the nicest and most "local pub" type, and the Queens Arms is full of comedy parody type characters.
The Parade, Taunton. This is now a roundabout around the war memorial (the stone cross thing) and outside The Market House (the big building. It's a pub, but a bit of a meat market - hence the name?) which is all cobbled and unfriendly to traffic. Unfortunately this is the centre of town, there is no bypass, and Taunton has nowhere else for traffic to go.
Castle Bow - looking through the portcullis by the entrance to Brazz, through to the battlements on the top of The Winchester Arms. Yes, Taunton is old, pretty, and full of pubs. Nothing else though.
We went to a substation so I could photograph pylons. Here's one photo. Won't bore you with the rest - if you want them, see my pylons site.
It's held in an old theatre hall, which has been converted quite well and retains the original (very gaudy!) decor. Please note that not everyone in attendance is old.
The room is dotted with fruit machines, to fleece you for more cash. They also play "line games" on boards built into the tables, in between "real" games.
The numbers which were called are shown on this board, along with the type of game being played and the amount of money for winning. However I could only photograph the board when I wasn't busy playing so it's not lit! Also there is a (cheap) bar, and (horrid) food counter.
Here are the books you play with. You have to listen for which book is in play, and then which page (the yellow page in the bronze book, etc.) Then you have to get the line, two lines or full house on the same ticket on that page. There are six tickets to a page, so every single number is on the page somewhere. If you win you shout out. According to the leaflet you can shout anything you like. It's probably as well I haven't won yet.
We also investigated a phenomenon where, when you stand under electricity lines holding a fluorescent tube, the electromagnetic current induces the tube to glow in your hand. We did this right by the substation, where you can hear the wires crackling 24/7 as it is.
And here's the glowing tube. It was actually a lot more impressive, but my camera doesn't pick it up well in the dark. A real light sabre moment!
I slept on a mattress on top of a desk in the garage. The washing machine beeped several times every minute when it finished a cycle, and I needed steps to mount the bed. Apart from that it was reasonably comfortable.
My bed was on the other side of an outside window, for that "Amsterdam" feel... Wonder what the neighbours thought?

Palm Valley Animal Center / The Laurie P. Andrews PAWS Center has listened to the concerns of local rescue organizations, rescue partners and the concerned citizens. Steps are being made to start making major changes to our centers in order to provide the best care possible for our community’s animals.
However by far, the biggest, and most necessary step is a complete upgrade to PVAC. In order to accomplish this, several key staff members from APA will be coming down on Monday March 12th. Unlike recent reports and misleading information being shared on social media, this in no way means that we will be conducting mass euthanasia in preparation for this event. However, this does mean that we will need the help of our rescue partner organizations near and far, as well as the support of our local partner municipalities and will call upon our community to volunteer in mass numbers to “empty our centers” both PVAC and PAWS so that these improvements can be made.
PVAC will overhaul its intake process and movement of animals in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations developed by APA and Best Friends solely for PVAC.
From February 10-13,, 2018, Tim Ousley-Executive Director, Rebeca Villanueva-Director of Development and Matt Kendall-Rescue Facilitator attended the American Pets Alive four day Intensive for Shelter Leadership conference held in Austin. This was a learning opportunity to get some tips from some of the best professionals in the business. These tips included ways to increase the live outcome rates of animals that are surrendered to PVAC and to improve the quality of life and the care they receive while in our facility.
In the short term, we have been implementing recommendations that were possible without the need of additional resources. We have been meeting with management personnel to discuss implementation of the short term recommendations made by Best Friends Animal Society and APA. These meetings started back in August 2017 following the visits from Best Friends Animal Society in June 2017 and have continued after APA’s visit on January 28, 2018.
On February 20, 2018, PVAC Board of Directors invited several members of the local rescue community to meet during their regularly scheduled board meeting. There was an open and honest discussion of the concerns from our community in regards to overcrowding, kennel conditions and the distemper cases being reported online. The message was clear our community is demanding change in and out of our facility. That meeting ended with the understanding that PVAC would have the support and cooperation of the local rescue community in bringing about these changes.
Palm Valley Animal Center is dedicated to improving the level of care of the homeless and abandoned animals in and out of our facility, but change is only possible if we work together as a community.
Thank you for your feedback, patience and support.

John Williams: A Life In Music – a brand new album of iconic movie scores by the world’s most successful film composer – including Star Wars, Jurassic Park, E.T. and many more. The album, which will be released on May the 4th (International Star Wars Day) features brand new recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra, who recorded many of the original versions, and includes a world premiere recording of Schindler’s List for cello - which has never been heard before. Recorded by an 86-piece orchestra, this epic collection of music was conducted by Gavin Greenaway and recorded at London’s Air Studios. The 10-track album features Hedwig’s Theme from Harry Potter, performed by the LSO for the very first time. The premiere of Schindler’s List is the first time Williams’ official arrangement for cello has ever been recorded.
The LSO’s close connection with Williams dates back nearly 40 years, and the standard is there to be heard in these new recordings. From writing the world’s best-loved soundtracks – including Jaws, ET and the Home Alone films – to conducting some of the worlds most accomplished orchestras, Williams truly is one of the greatest living composers of our generation. Following this year’s Oscar nominations, Williams broke his own record with more Oscar nominations than any other living person – a title he first earned in 2016. Williams has also won five Academy Awards, seven BAFTAs, 24 Grammy’s, four Golden Globes, five Emmys and numerous gold and platinum records.
This year, the Hollywood legend celebrates sixty years in movies. Alongside the release of this once-in-a-lifetime album, Williams will also conduct the LSO in an extremely rare performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, making it the 86-year-old composer's first performance in the UK for 22 years. Over the span of his extraordinary career, Williams has graced the TV screens and touched the hearts of people across the world with his music, and this new album promises to do the same.

Sing the alphabet song. Be creative—sing it in a rap, skip every other letter, start the song beginning with the letter of your child’s name. Sing it backwards, quietly or loudly.
Thank you for your continued support at home. It is very helpful that the homework and reading books come back consistently. You are wonderful parents. It is exciting to see the progress your children are making!
The students are doing a great job blending sounds together to make words. They are making words with a consonant/vowel/consonant pattern. (mad, dig, tag, cot, etc.) We have been working on the following consonants: m, t, c, d, g, and the following vowels: a, i, o. Any words you want to provide to help your child for additional practice using these sounds would be great! Each child should also be able to form these lower case letters correctly. Have your child write the numerals 0-10 for you as well!
As it starts getting colder, please make sure your child’s name is on his/her coat or jacket. We do have a lost and found by the lunchroom if your child is missing one.
Thanks again and have a fabulous week!

Characterization of the Cytosolic Proteins Involved in the Amoeboid Motility of Ascaris Sperm.
The amoeboid sperm of Ascaris crawl through a cycle of protrusion, adhesion, and retraction, similar to that seen in conventional actin-based cells. However, instead of actin, these cells power their movement through modulation of the major sperm protein (MSP) cytoskeleton. MSP forms dense filament meshworks that pack the sperm lamellipod. Protrusion is associated with the assembly of MSP filaments at the leading edge of the lamellipod, and retraction is connected with the disassembly of the MSP network at the base of the lamellipod. The motility of Ascaris sperm can be reconstituted in cell-free extracts. In vitro, plasma membrane vesicles are pushed forward by the elongation of fibers constructed from a columnar meshwork of MSP filaments. This in vitro motility requires components from both the cytosol and the vesicle. LeClaire et al. (2003) recently identified the 48 kDa membrane protein required to orchestrate MSP cytoskeletal assembly at the leading edge of the lamellipod. In this study, I describe the first cytosolic proteins that are components of the MSP locomotory machinery. I fractionated cytosol with a range of biochemical techniques and reconstituted fiber assembly with a limited subset of cytosolic components. Thus, this fraction contains all the cytosolic accessory proteins required to build fibers. Several of the components in this active fraction were used to generate antibodies, which labeled the cytoskeleton in Ascaris sperm and in fibers grown in vitro and thus, identified six proteins, p43, p42, p40, p38, p34, and p16, as part of the MSP cytoskeleton. Sequence analysis showed that each protein is novel to nematode sperm and has a homolog of unknown function in C. elegans that exhibits sperm-enriched expression (Reinke et al., 2000; Hill et al., 2001). The predicted protein sequence of p43 is based on a tandem array of repeats with serine phosphorylation sites. P38, p40, and p42 appear to be a family of closely related polypeptides. The sequences of p38 and p40 contain a domain duplication as well as proline-rich repeats. P34 shows homology to serine/threonine kinases. The p16 triplet is a family of closely related polypeptides. Two of the proteins had reciprocal effects on fiber growth: p38 increased fiber growth rate and p16 decreased fiber growth rate. The effects of both p38 and p16 were concentration-dependent and antagonistic. Since the rate-enhancement by p38 was not potentiated by MSP, another cytosolic protein is involved in up-regulation of the rate of MSP elongation. Additionally, p16 altered the number of filaments polymerized at the vesicle surface and thus may regulate MSP nucleation. Immunoprecipitations and affinity chromatography established that these two proteins bind to MSP under conditions that promote in vitro assembly. Based on these data, I present a revised model for the mechanism of membrane-associated MSP polymerization, which proposes that p38 influences the rate of MSP elongation by recruiting MSP to the vesicle surface and that p16 incorporates into MSP filaments and blocks further assembly by acting as a capping protein. My results imply that although the specific components differ, actin-based and MSP-based systems both rely on the interplay of positive and negative regulators of cytoskeletal assembly to maintain the pace of locomotion.

Travel is on my mind as we start to plan our 30th Anniversary Road Trip (I’m gathering ideas of what to see & do along the way. San Diego -> Colorado -> Oklahoma -> Texas -> Arizona -> San Diego ? I’ll have a separate travel log for the trip). I figure I’d share some road tip ideas that have worked for me over the years and maybe they’ll help somebody else too.
Apparently the sizes of carry-on bags have changed for many airlines, so what worked last year might not work this year. Last year I discovered that since I had purchased an “economy” ticket, I was ONLY allowed a personal item, no carry-on bag at all. Good thing I checked before I got there or I would have had to pay extra fees if I tried to board with my carry-on.
Plan, but be as flexible as possible.
On one of my flights I was in the airplane an extra 2 hours! I was so thankful that I had many of my road trip survival items with me, and not with my checked baggage! In 2016 Roy & I spent 8 days and 44 hours (!) in the car on one trip. Of course that wasn’t the original plan, however I’m so thankful we had some of our road trip survival items with us.
Here are some of my road trip items.
WATER: If we’re flying, I like to bring my empty stainless steel water bottle. Once you get through security there are often Hydration Stations where you can fill your water bottle for free. Just remember to empty it BEFORE you go through security (yep, made that mistake once and got to experience the extra screening process). It also comes in handy if you’re at a conference/convention and you can fill that up once or twice for the whole day instead of having to go back & forth with a glass.
BRING SNACKS: I like to bring individual raw almond butter packets to add protein to the usually carb heavy free breakfasts. They travel well in my backpack. I’ll often have the almond butter with a banana (shh! Sometimes a waffle or English muffin sneaks in with them, but that’s our secret!) It’s also great to mix in oatmeal. Nuts, dates, and protein bars are some of our other go-to snacks.
LOOK FOR HEALTHY FOOD: If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see some of my great healthy finds at a few of the airports. I did have to walk quite a ways for one, but since I had a 3 hour layover, it wasn’t an issue. It’s tempting to eat a bunch of junk when traveling, but I always feel better when I eat better. Of course I don’t always eat that great, but I do try more often than not, and allow myself grace for when I don’t.
ESSENTIAL OILS: Sweet Orange, Peppermint & Lavender are the ones I take with me the most. We have a plug-in diffuser for the car and a battery operated one for the hotel room. Diffusing oils helps keep us alert while driving, refreshes stale hotel rooms, and helps us relax in different surroundings. It’s also great when we are driving through some “interesting” smelling areas ~ like lots of cows & chickens. 😉 Since I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) I also wear my oils around my neck in an aromatherapy locket, just in case I might have a migraine triggered by a funky smell, or someone around me wearing perfume.
PERSONAL CARE: Of course I like to travel with my Pure Haven non-toxic items. With my eczema I need to bring items that I know won’t irritate my skin. I love our Hands-on-the-Go for quick hand cleaning, and I put our Hand Soap in a small bottle since I can’t stand using the drying, smelly fragrance, and often toxic hotel soap.
SUNSCREEN: this is a must for me. Read my post here about what to look out for when choosing a safe sunscreen for you and for the environment.
MUSIC: what road trip would be complete without some rousing renditions of some favorites? We’re pretty eclectic in our taste from Broadway (nothing like Phantom of the Opera when driving at night!), 80’s rock (don’t judge!), Oldies, Classical, Praise & Worship, and Movie Soundtracks (The Greatest Showman is the new favorite).
MISCELLANEOUS: Reading material (of course) you never know when you’ll be stuck on a plane for an extra 2 hours. Extension cords (empty plugs are notoriously in awkward places). I was so thankful to have also brought 2 portable phone chargers with me. I was able to charge my phone on the plane so I had enough power to schedule Uber when I landed.
That’s all I can come up with off the top of my head. I’m sure after I post this I’ll remember more things. What are your road trip MUST haves?

CAUVERY ROW: LAWYERS POCKET RS. 22 CR.RESULT: BIG ZERO !
* Govt. furnishes incomplete info on Cauvery Tribunal expenditure.
* Full information on Sept. 27.
* Anil Dewan alone got Rs. 9.66 cr. !
* Javali and Katharki together claimed Rs. 6.5 cr.
* Then comes Nariman with Rs. 2 cr.
Dharwad, June 26 (TRD)- An application filed by an activist under the Right To Information (RTI) Act has exposed may vital information regarding the Cauvery Water Dispute.
The Founder-President of Puraskara Forum, Krishna Joshi, had asked the Chief Secretary of the State to furnish him all the details regarding the delegations sent to represent the State; the lawyers’ fees and the total expenditure incurred by the State Government since the formation of the Cauvery Tribunal.
Later a complaint was lodged with the Information Commission on Apr. 12 as the officers had failed to furnish the information within the deadline to Joshi.
In this background, an enquiry was held on June 21 and the Commission has expressed its displeasure as incomplete information was furnished by the Department of Water Resources. It has called for a final enquiry on Sept. 27.
Out of the many questions raised by Krishna Joshi, the junior officers of the Department of Water Resources, on behalf of the Chief Secretary, have given answers for only two questions. Out of these two, one remains to be incomplete.
As per the information furnished by these officers, in the period since 1990-91 to 28.2.2007, the 10 Advocate Generals, who appeared be fore the Tribunal, claimed Rs. 1.34 crore as fees.
During the same period, fees for the 18 lawyers who appeared for the State is Rs. 22.10 crore.
Out of the 18 lawyers, advocate Anil B. Dewan was paid the highest fee of Rs. 9.66 crore and the lowest in the list was Advocate Ashok Mathur, who was paid Rs. 3,000 only.
The fee for the famous advocate Fali S. Nariman, who argued for the State since the beginning, was paid Rs. 2.08 crore.
Similarly the advocates, who represented the State since the formation of the Tribunal, S.S. Javali and Mohan V. Katharki, are paid Rs. 3.77 crore and Rs. 2.75 crore respectively.
The lawyers’ fee paid by the State Government during 2005-06 is Rs. 5.19 crore and this is the highest payment made in a single financial year.
Mohan V. Katharki has visited Bangalore 193 times, S.S. Javali 158 times, Shambhuprasad Singh 138 times, Anil B. Dewan 46 times, Sayyed Naqvi 26 times, Fali S. Nariman 19 times, Brijesh Kalappa 18 times, Ranvir Singh 14 times and Sanjay R. Heggade 7 times.
“The expenditure incurred on lawyers is startling. In spite of this huge expenditure, I feel the Government has utterly fail0ed in presenting its arguments effectively. My concern is that all the details regarding the dispute be made available to the public,” says Krishna Joshi. “I will continue to fight till all the information is available,” he declared.
Having won his case to make the entire proceedings of the Information Commission to be conducted in Kannada, he insists that the Cauvery Tribunal should publish its verdict in Kannada and there should be clarity in the details.

This is a clear case how the tax payers’ money is spent. We need more such expose and hold the persons responsible for spending public money accountable to the public.
If we need to plug all the loop holes of corruption, we need to ban currency circulation and introduce Multi Purpose Biometric Smart card as the only mode of transaction.
This alone can save India.

The topics address each of the number operations + – x ÷ plus fractions, decimals and simple percentages, in very gradual steps. A section of graded word problems is included.
The topics are quick to access and clear examples are given on screen. Numbershark gives a fresh set of ‘sums’ each time a topic is selected.
Recommended games are given for every topic.
There is a fully graded course supporting the National Curriculum England, for numeracy KS1 and KS2.
The wide variety of games and options give many ways to practise the same work and to promote both the understanding and the memorising of number facts, whilst maintaining interest.
Under Help in the program there are links to tutorials (as per below), as well as access to the pdf manual. This same information can be accessed on the ‘Using Numbershark‘ page of wordshark.co.uk’s website, with bite-size pdfs on Numbershark. Within the program, there is also on-screen help for every game as well as pop-up teaching notes.
Numbershark is mostly used by students aged between 6 and 14. Some of the games are more suitable for younger children but many games are appropriate for any age.
Older students, with reasonable number skills use Numbershark to improve their mental maths – sometimes before exams. Variable speeds and other options meet all levels of skill.
The variety of games, concepts and topics make Numbershark suitable for use in primary school and also secondary school where students have gaps in understanding.
How will it help those with poor Number skills?
To help those with dyslexia and dyscalculia many of the games give a visual idea of what is happening when you add, subtract, multiply or divide. Numbers are shown as objects, digits, rods, or on an abacus, a number line, a number pad, a 100 square – to help basic understanding. Fractions and decimals are also shown visually.
Most games have no time limit (though a clock is running) so students have space to work out their number strategy and to build confidence. Variable speeds and other options help to match individual needs.
Records are kept once students have been added to the system. Progress can be measured accurately. Records can be printed out.
Once students are added to the system, you can choose the topics and games that they should use. This can also be done for groups of students.
What printouts are available with the topics?
Worksheets can be printed out for most topics, in different formats and layouts.
What is needed to run Numbershark 5?
The CD or USB has to be in place for the program to run, but can be moved between/used on any compatible computer. ‘Single User’ CDs/USBs are not intended for use on networks, many of which will not accept this version.

MADISON, Wis. (Reuters) - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, whose bid to reduce public employee union bargaining power has triggered mass public protest, said Sunday he expects the Democrats who oppose his plan will concede to debate the issue early this week.
Fourteen state Democratic senators, who have left the state to deny the Wisconsin legislature a quorum needed to consider the controversial proposal, have "failed to do their jobs," the Republican governor said on Fox Network's "Fox News Sunday."
"If you want to participate in democracy, you've got to be in the arena, and the arena is right here in Madison, Wisconsin," he said.
Tens of thousands of people have demonstrated this week against Walker's proposed legislation, which supporters say is needed to control state debt and spending and opponents contend would break the back of state worker unions.
A rally by opponents of the proposal was set for midday in Madison, where temperatures were chilly and snow was falling.
Wisconsin is the flashpoint for a U.S. struggle over efforts to roll back pay, benefits and bargaining rights of government workers. If the majority Republicans prevail, other states could be emboldened to take on the powerful unions.
Walker said on Fox he expects the Democrats who left the state for Illinois to return in coming days, although one of them has said they are prepared to be away for weeks.
"My hope is that cooler minds will prevail and by some time earlier this coming week they'll show up for their job," Walker said. "Democracy is not about hiding out in another state. It's about showing up here in the capital and making the case there, and for us, we're willing to take this as long as it takes."
The Wisconsin State Assembly is due to take up the proposals on Tuesday. Republicans have a large enough majority to quorum in the Assembly without the Democrats.
"My hope is before Tuesday enough Republicans will recognize this proposal is over-reaching and the support for this proposal wanes. I've been told some Republicans will reconsider," State Assemblyman and Minority Leader Peter Barca said Saturday.
Officials estimated about 55,000 demonstrators in the state capital on Saturday, but no more than 5,000 appeared to be there for a rally backed by Tea Party groups, the first appearance by members of the limited-government movement.
The bill's opponents chanted "Kill the bill," while supporters countered with "Recall them all," referring to Democratic state senators who left the state.
U.S. state and local governments are struggling to balance budgets after the recession decimated their finances. In addition to Wisconsin, other states like Texas, Arizona and Ohio are relying mainly on cuts in spending to balance the books, while Minnesota and Illinois are raising taxes.
Walker said the proposal was necessary so that the state's municipalities can balance their budgets.
"I want to give those local governments the tools they need to balance the budgets now, and they can't do that with the current collective bargaining laws in this state," he said.
The Republican law would make state workers contribute more to health insurance and pensions. It also would end government collection of union dues, let workers opt out of unions and require unions to hold recertification votes every year.
Union and Democratic leaders say they are willing to compromise on benefits if Republicans back off on their bid to weaken collective bargaining, but so far Walker and his legislative allies have stood firm.
Walker estimates the state budget deficit for the rest of this fiscal year at $137 million and for the next two fiscal years under its biannual budget at $3.3 billion.
Walker said the alternative is to lay off more than 10,000 public employees.

First Quarter of the Moon falls on the 3rd of April at 20h37. The Full Moon occurs on the 11th of April at 08h08 and the Last Quarter falls on the 19th of April at 11h57. The New Moon occurs on the 26th of April at 14h16.
The Moon will be at apogee (furthest from Earth) at a distance of about 405 477 km on the 15th of April. On the 27th April , the Moon will be at perigee (closest approach to the Earth) at a distance of about 352 323 km.
Mercury is visible marginally after sunset during the first week and can be observed clearly before sunrise by month end. Venus can be seen before sunrise. Mars is visible after sunset. Jupiter shines prominently just after sunset until before sunrise. Saturn can be observed at midnight until before sunrise.
On the 11th of April, Jupiter will be near the Moon. Saturn will be near the Moon on the 16th of April and Mars will be near the Moon on the 28th of April.
Orion can still be seen in the NW in early evening, with Taurus the Bull charging at him from low in the NW. Since Orion is upside down for us in the southern hemisphere, we see Sirius (brightest star in the sky and the eye of Orion’s Large Dog) ‘above’ Orion, with the dim stars of the Hare just above Orion’s feet. Between Orion and the stars of Leo the Lion (rising in the NE in early evening) are the dim stars of the Unicorn and the Crab, with Procyon (brightest star in Orion’s Small Dog) between them, while below Procyon are the ‘Twin’ stars Castor and Pollux low in theNNW.
Blue-white Spica, brightest star in Virgo, is often shown as an ear of wheat held by a young woman, who in Babylonian mythology was queen of the stars and the lover of the god of grain. Above her in the eastern sky fly the four stars of the Crow. The head of the water snake (Hydra) is a small group of stars between Leo and Orion’s Big Dog. The rest of the snake winds its way down toward the Crow, with its brightest star, Alphard, heart of the serpent, high in the northwest. Above and to the left of the Crow, for an observer facing east, is the Cup. Alphard is an Arabic name meaning the ‘solitary one’, as there are no other bright stars near it. At about 40 times the diameter of the sun and 400 times as bright, Alphard is one of the ‘bright giants’ in our neighborhood. But our ‘neighborhood’ is rather large. Alphard is 11 million times as far away from us as our own sun – so it looks a lot dimmer to us!
