It's no secret that I have a major soft spot for Kat DeLuna. The American popstar with Dominican roots has banged out some brilliant anthems in her time and is the kind of artist to keep working her ass off whatever setbacks may arise. She was also one of the first artists I ever interviewed for Charley says POP!
"Had A Dream" has her team up with Belgian DJ and producer David Latour. David has done remixes for the likes of About E and his tracks with Narco and Sylver's Sil have been mentioned on this blog earlier.
Having featured on songs with Jean-Roch and Nicola Fasano, Kat has dabbled in dance music before. However, "Had A Dream" takes it to another level and is without a doubt her most exciting dance track so far.
The song, which also features Fo Onassis, is based around the Belgian jump influenced trance classic "Producelast" by Trancescape. The sample gives "Had A Dream" a harder edge than Kat's ever had before and should go down a storm in the club. So get yourself to a YouTube jumpstyle tutorial and start practicing your moves to this new banger!
"Had A Dream (Producelast)" by David Latour ft. Kat DeLuna & Fo Onassis is available soon.

Weekend Review
Plenty happened over the weekend at Citizens Bank Park. Shane got his 1,000th hit, Cole and Matt Cain matched pitches and each homered against the other in the same inning and most importantly, the Phillies salvaged a win on Sunday.
J-Roll came through Sunday with a walk-off single. It is the fourth time they have won in that style. They've witnessed 10 the other way. It was the Phillies first win at home since June 26. On Saturdays and Sundays, the Phillies are now 9-24. If they played .500 ball on those two days, their mountain wouldn't be that high.
Chooch walked to start the 12th and scored the winning run. The day before Papelbon walked the first hitter in his second inning and it led to the winning run.
Credit solid pitching for Sunday's win. Joe-B and the bullpen did the job. When Joe-B pitches 7 or more innings, his ERA is 2.34. KK was outstanding at the other end and extended his scoreless innings streak to 18.2 innings, longest dry spell for the Phillies this season and longest current streak in the majors.
While eight of the Phillies 11 runs over the weekend came via home runs, the Scott Franzke hasn't called a Daily News home run payoff winner since June 14.
So, after 96 games, the Phillies finally get to see the Brewers. Yep, Milwaukee is still in the NL and a three-game series starts tonight. Then, the Phillies will play four in Milwaukee next month.
Down On The Farm (weekend edition)
Lehigh Valley was swept by visiting Columbus and dropped out of first place for the first time this month. LF Domonic Brown left Sunday's game after 3 at-bats, apparently aggravating his achy right knee trying to make a diving catch.
Reading led 11-6 after 8 on Sunday and appeared to be headed for a 3-game sweep at Trenton when the Thunder scored 5 in the 9th before winning, 13-12 in 12. RHR Tyler Knigge gave up a game-tying home run, the first homer he allowed this season, 39 games, 49 innings. RHS Jonathan Pettibone (8-7) and RHS Austin Hyatt (4-3) picked up the wins.
Clearwater split a pair at Port Charlotte before being rained out on Sunday.SS Egdar Duran hit a pair of homers on Saturday; RF Anthony Hewitt, his 11th in same game.
Lakewood remained in a tie for first in the second half by winning 2 of 3 in Hickory. RF Kelly Dugan, 5-9, 5 RBI. RHR Kenny Giles (3-3) picked up Friday's win with 3 perfect relief innings during which he fanned 7.
Williamsport lost 2 of 3 to State College. LF Larry Greene, 5-11, including 2nd home run. RHP Kevin Brady, 4 innings, 2 hits and RHP Chris Nichols (2-0), 3 innings, 1 hit, combined on a 5-0 shutout in Sunday's second game.
Gulf Coast League Phillies beat Toronto on Friday and Saturday. 1B William Carmona and RF Andrew Pullin hit back-to-back homers on Saturday. LHP Franklyn Vargas (3-1) tossed 5 scoreless, hitless innings on Saturday.

SPRINGFIELD -- The Illinois House is expected to vote today on legislation that would eject two Illinois Federation of Teachers lobbyists from the Teachers' Retirement System.
SPRINGFIELD -- The Illinois House is expected to vote today on legislation that would eject two Illinois Federation of Teachers lobbyists from the Teachers' Retirement System.
The two qualified for TRS pensions after spending only a single day each as substitute teachers in the Springfield School District.
The House Personnel and Pensions Committee sent House Bill 3813, sponsored by House Republican leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego, to the floor Monday on a unanimous vote. It would remove IFT lobbyists Steven Preckwinkle and David Piccioli from TRS and refund any money they have contributed.
The bill has already passed the Senate and would go to Gov. Pat Quinn's desk if it passes the House. The House and Senate are in session tomorrow as part of an extension of the fall veto session called by leaders to consider tax incentive packages and other matters.
One-day teaching careers
Preckwinkle and Piccioli taught for a day in the district in 2007, taking advantage of legislation that allowed union officials to get into the teacher pension fund and count previous years as union employees if they obtained teaching certificates and conducted classroom work.
"A guy can work as a substitute teacher for a day and then become a full-fledged members of TRS … that's insane," Cross said. "I think this General Assembly believes these abuses are out of line, and we're going to correct them as quickly as we can."
Cross' bill also prevents double-dipping by current and future union leaders who leave their public jobs for full-time work with their unions and then take pensions from both. The bill also prevents union leaders from basing their public pensions on higher salaries earned while leading unions. Pensions would be based on their salaries when they left their public job, adjusted for inflation.
Current union leaders would continue to be able to add pension credit while in their union's employ. Future union leaders would not.
Preckwinkle and Piccioli have questioned the constitutionality of the provision disqualifying them from receiving teacher pensions.
Done on purpose – Cross
The bill applies to downstate police and firefighter pension systems, the Teachers' Retirement System, the State Universities Retirement System and various Chicago and Cook County pension systems.
Cross said he believes someone crafted the law with the intention of allowing the system to be gamed, but declined to speculate on who specifically might have been responsible. Cross said others besides Preckwinkle and Piccioli might have taken advantage of the loophole.
"You have these 200-page bills with 10 good things and one bad thing, and it's that old trick of saying if you want these 10 good things, you get stuck with the bad thing.
"I don't think anybody that voted for that, say the Preckwinkle issue, would say they supported this idea. But it was clearly written so that this could happen," Cross said.
"Everybody in this building knows things don't pass out of here without the support of the speaker and the president of the Senate," he said. "I'm not interested in stepping up the rhetoric, but we know how this stuff happens and why it happened. We were taking care of people, and that's what was going on in this situation."

Soil Description
It is helpful to assemble the equipment needed to describe soils in one place. We buy small plastic file carriers at an office supply store and fill each one of them with the following equipment:
- Knife - Needs to be sturdy, does not need to be expensive. We've found army surplus and martial arts supply stores useful sources.
- Squirt Bottle - filled with distilled water if soil pH will be tested, otherwise tap water is fine.
- Soil Color Book - Munsell soil color book; a rock color chart is somewhat cheaper but lacks the detail for the range of typical soil colors that the Munsell book has. If you have wet soils, you will need additional "gley pages" to cover the greenish and bluish hues that may appear in such soils. More information about soil color is available at the USDA's Soil Conservation page on the color of soil.
- Tape measure - a flexible fiberglass tape that can be attached to the top of a roadcut exposure, an exposure in a soil pit or alongside a core and auger sample. Note: the tape may be too big for the box and have to be carried separately.
- Sturdy long nail or pin to hold tape in place.
- Soil pH meter or kit - we've never had much luck with the small handheld pH meters and prefer to determine soil pH with a colorimetric kit with a color chart and spot plate. These are available from suppliers of gardening equipment as well as from scientific supply kits.
- Trowel - find sturdy ones for the students
- Soil description form
- Handouts on soil texture, consistence, structure, horizon designation, etc. It is useful to have these laminated.

The Real "Teachable Moment" on Race
WASHINGTON – The police officer at the center of a national dispute over race and law enforcement says a much-anticipated meeting at the White House was productive and all parties are looking forward.OK, so Obama has handed out beers to Gates and Crowley and sort of (but not really) apologized for saying the Cambridge, Massachusetts police acted "stupidly."
Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley spoke after meeting with President Barack Obama and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., along with Vice President Joe Biden. Crowley described himself and Gates as "two gentlemen who agreed to disagree" about the confrontation that led to Gates' arrest.
Liberals like the term "teachable moment," and when they apply it to race, they mean a "moment" when white Americans realize how racist they are (or at least have been) and how they need to grovel before black people whom they have victimized.
Except this time it didn't work that way. Obama took the standard politically correct tact on the issue -- the "Cambridge cops" (meaning Crowley, who arrested Gates) had "acted stupidly." But instead of knee jerk acceptance, the remark created a firestorm, and Obama had to start practicing damage control.
The public simply wasn't buying the standard "blame whitey, blame the cops" line. On online poll on the ABC News website shows 85% of respondents saying that Obama "went too far" attacking the Cambridge Police.
(The poll isn't scientific, but this is ABC News, not Fox, and there is little reason to believe there was a conservative selection bias.)
Playing the race card had not worked. Gates, who like many blacks in academia has been coddled, pampered and catered to for talking about black victimization, found that people weren't buying it. At least, outside the rarefied environment of academia and the media the product wasn't selling.
One genuinely heartening thing about the whole affair was the way in which black and Hispanic cops in Cambridge rallied around the comrade. Their white comrade. Apparently, they saw themselves not as black victims, but as people doing the same tough, demanding and (often) dangerous job as Crowley. Black cops too are often vilified when they stop black suspects.
All this is racial progress. But it's not the sort of change that liberals and race hustlers want. They, not the fair-minded majority of Americans, are going to need a lot more "teachable moments."

They may not get to lay the 'smackdown' on Saddam but WWE's Thursday-night grappling crew will be doing the next best thing. The Smackdown gang is headed to Iraq to visit American troops and tape footage for a WWE Christmas special.
The festive event will feature Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon joining John Cena, Torrie Wilson, Eddie Guerrero and the rest of the Smackdown roster.
The wrestling stars will deliver USO care packages and holiday greetings from home to the soldiers -- but that's where the Christmas spirit ends. They'll then ditch the Santa hats in favour of an evening of bone-crunching, chair-throwing, body-slamming action. In a press release, McMahon described it as "the most unusual, entertaining live event ever produced for the holidays."
In 1991, the then-WWF took a lot of heat for allegedly exploiting the Gulf War in storylines. This time around, it's doing the right thing.
Like the classy tribute show they ran after the 9/11 tragedy, the company is handling the situation tastefully, by taking the focus off the storylines, mixing in segments profiling the soldiers and simply presenting a fun night of wrestling.
In fact, the plans have turned into a public relations goldmine for WWE, with media outlets and newswires across North America picking up on the story and giving the show lots of free press.
For security reasons, details are sketchy on when exactly the taping will take place, although it's possible the wrestlers already made the secret stop in the war-torn region during last week's Australian tour.
Canadians can catch the special Christmas Day at 5 and 9 p.m. on The Score.

ROCKY SEQUEL: Finally, The Rock has come back to Wrestlemania.
The People's Champ confirmed this week he'll wrestle at the big event at Madison Square Garden in March, dispelling rumours his movie schedule would prevent him from taking part.
Rocky will return to the ring in January for the Royal Rumble, then head back to Hollywood to shoot Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty, in which he'll play John Travolta's gay singing bodyguard.
He'll then arrive back in the WWE in March to build towards 'Mania and perform at the big show, before going on the road in April to promote his new movie Walking Tall, and do preproduction work on a live action version of Spy Hunter.
BELT eBAYED: Denver Broncos running back Clinton Portis posed wearing a replica WCW championship belt during the game with Kansas City Sunday but he could have done one better by logging onto the Internet and bidding for the real thing.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who was the last man to hold the WCW Television championship, put the actual title belt up for auction on eBay.
The belt, which Duggan 'won' after he found it in a trash can during one of WCW's weaker storylines, sold for $7,080 US.

AUSSIE COOLS: He survived a hefty sentence in a maximum security Australian prison but the WWE's gruelling tour schedule proved to be too much for poor Nathan Jones.
The Aussie superstar apparently called it quits in the middle of the Smackdown brand's tour of his homeland this week, walking out of the house show in Perth and vowing his WWE career is over. According to multiple reports, several wrestlers tried to talk him out of the decision but his mind was made up.
Jones, who has struggled with the company's wrestling style and schedule since his debut, was playing a bodyguard character for Paul Heyman on Smackdown, alongside Tough Enough graduate Matt Morgan.
'DUST IN THE WIND: Dustin Runnels, a.k.a. Goldust, will find himself in the free-agent pool when his WWE contract expires in January. WWE announced the surprise decision to not renew his deal in an article on its website last week.
Goldust is a perennial fan favourite, providing many of Raw's weekly highlights.
Runnels is expected to sign with the Zero-One promotion in Japan.

They kept the malt dry until it got milled into malted barley. Today, this more intimate room can host receptions for 60 people. It can also be used for a theatre set-up or U-shape for smaller parties.

(CNN) — You were more likely to be struck by lightning or attacked by a shark — maybe even at the same time — than win Wednesday night's Powerball drawing.
But then again, you're not Mystery Ticket Holder in Lexington, South Carolina.
Millions played, hoping against hope, defying the odds, dreaming the dream of winning the $400 million estimated jackpot.
But there was only one winning ticket that hit the jackpot.
One that spit in the face of the formidable 1-in-175,223,510 odds.
One that drew the winning numbers: 7, 10, 22, 32, 35 and Powerball 19.
And it belongs to Mystery Ticket Holder in Lexington, South Carolina.
We don't know if it's one person. Maybe it's group of coworkers who pooled their dollar bills together.
We may never know. South Carolina lottery rules lets winners remain anonymous if they want.
Paula Harper Bethea, the executive director of South Carolina Lottery, says the ticket was sold at a highway gas station in that 5.8-square-mile town of 17,800.
Call the number to the gas station, and you get a busy signal. Most likely people calling to ask who the winner is. Or congratulating the owner on the cool $50,000 he'll be pocketing for selling the ticket.
Wednesday's haul was the fourth largest lottery price in U.S. history.
The biggest payload in American history was $665 million in the Mega Millions game in March 2012. The greatest Powerball jackpot was the $590.5 million won with a single ticket in Florida this past May.
But $400 million, with a cash value of $223 million, is still pretty sweet.
Someone's calling in sick this morning. That, you can bet on.

The United States is facing an obesity epidemic. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher warned that the rising numbers of overweight Americans (61 percent of adults are at unhealthy body fat levels with 34 percent being overweight and 27 percent being obese) is creating unprecedented health problems. According to Satcher, as many as 300,000 deaths in the United States each year are associated with obesity, fast approaching the sobering statistics of 400,000 smoking-related deaths annually. In the year 2000 alone, health care related costs for obesity totaled $117 billion. Losing just a small amount of weight in most cases can reduce those costs. According to research, losing just 15 pounds can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by almost 60 percent. In response to the nation's rising obesity levels, Satcher issued a report asking the community to take part in a plan to help reduce the nation's collective weight.
The Surgeon General's National Action Plan includes the following call to action amongst schools, businesses, families, and more:
- Raise consumer awareness of the health effects of being overweight
- Build awareness among school teachers, coaches, food service staff and nurses about the effects of a proper diet and exercise habits in controlling weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Educate the health care community about the effects of a proper diet and exercise habits in controlling weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Provide children with daily physical education classes
- Extend extracurricular physical activity programs
- Classify obesity as a disease for reimbursement coding
- Conduct a national campaign promoting the health benefits of exercise to the public
- Create incentives for employees to join local fitness centers
- Change the perception of being overweight at all ages. The primary concern should be health, not appearance.
According to the report, the following illnesses and health conditions are associated with being overweight:
- Premature death
- Increased surgical risk
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Depression
- Psychological difficulties due to social stigmatization
- Hypertension
- Hirsutism (excess body and facial hair)
- Gallbladder disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Sleep apnea
- Cancer
- Menstrual irregularities
- Asthma
- High blood cholesterol
- Complications of pregnancy
- Stress incontinence (urine leakage).

LDL apheresis is a procedure that targets and removes harmful Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) from a patient's bloodstream, returning other blood components such as blood cells, proteins, antibodies and HDL back into the body. In essence, it "washes" the bad cholesterol out of the plasma of patients who are at high risk for atherosclerotic disease complications resulting from elevated cholesterol. Emory Heart & Vascular is the only Georgia facility that offers the procedure, which has proven to be effective, safe, and unique.
A single treatment of LDL apheresis has proven to lower LDL-C as much as 83%, with minimal impact on other plasma components such as HDL-C and albumin. Additionally, patients respond to it very well—no other procedure has the ability to selectively target a LDL-C treatment goal.
In order to be eligible for the treatment, the FDA stipulates that patients must first be on maximum medication and diet therapy for a minimum of 6 months, and meet the following criteria:
– LDL cholesterol greater than 200 mg/di and documented coronary heart disease
– LDL cholesterol greater than 300 mg/dl without coronary heart disease
This procedure has been FDA approved since 1996—since then, there have been over 25,000 treatments performed across the nation. Fortunately, most insurance policies cover LDL apheresis.
This video features Peggy Vardeman of Gainesville, one of the first patients at Emory to undergo LDL apheresis:
If you have any questions about LDL apheresis, or know anyone who could benefit from this procedure, please let me know in the comments section.
About Dr. Laurence Sperling, MD:
Dr. Sperling specializes in internal medicine and cardiology—his areas of clinical interest are cardiac catheterization, cardiac rehabilitation, general cardiology, echocardiogram, lipid metabolism, and electron beam computed tomography. Dr. Sperling has been practicing with Emory since 1997, and has received various awards from the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association Council, and Emory University Hospital. He serves as medical director for a number of unique programs at Emory including the HeartWise Risk Reduction Program, InterVent Atlanta, Staying Aloft, Emory's LDL aperesis program, and has served as special consultant to The Centers for Disease Control. Dr. Sperling has been voted one of America's Top Doctors, and has been featured often on local and national TV, newspaper, radio, and magazines.

Previously on — Last week, Zoe watched on in disgust as a blond bizbo in her office slept her way to the middle. Juliet used one of the Osmond Brothers for her let's-not-and-say-we-did revenge sex scheme to get back at Davis. Mia realized just how very sour her ex-fiancé's grapes are. Caitlin learned what it's like to be the target of gossip just because she eats noodles in a canoe with a lady.
Annihilation chamber — Zoe and Eric are in the playground, planning their son's laser tag birthday party. Or, more accurately, Zoe is running about, showing Eric the setup she envisions, complete with an artillery wall, recharging stations and an annihilation chamber, while he looks on passively. This is a dude who knows when to get out of the way.
Zoe's not sure if an annihilation chamber is going to be too expensive. I don't even know what that is, but if you can afford those shoes, surely you can splurge and give young Luke the party he so richly deserves.
Zoe is determined this party not be a repeat of last year's, in which she ruined her son's birthday by doing something so heinous that she and Eric don't say it aloud. But the implication is clear, and we're left to assume it had something to do with a Blackberry, a Bluetooth and a bar graph.
Eric tells Zoe not to worry and assures her that she is, in fact, Supermom. Faster than a speeding deadline, more powerful than a loco client, able to overcompensate with a single platinum Amex.
As usual, Zoe's phone starts ringing and she rushes off to the office, leaving Eric to ponder what an "artillery wall" is and how to make one out of monkey bars.
Watch your back — When Zoe arrives at the office, she finds that Katherine, the bizbo bane of her existence, has Zoe's client in the conference room. The client is yet another flip-flop-wearing dotcom millionaire dude with an impressive Halo 3 high score and no socks.
Zoe takes Katherine out into the hallway for a friendly smack-down and reminder about who's the boss.
Oh, Katherine. No one has confidence in any of your abilities except the one that involves being limber and open-minded.

Hi all,
In my program i have to test for the following condition:
If (Q2-4PR) is not a non-zero square (i.e. √(Q2-4PR) hasnt got a root
and if its true then i have to print out a certain message.
Does this basically mean if the answer isnt a square number? ie. 1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36,49 etc..
also how would you go about testing this.
All i can think of is say if x represents (Q2-4PR)... :
if(x != 1 || x != 2 || x != 4 || x != 9 etc...) {
System.out.println("Error message here");
Obviously there must be a correct way to test if a number is a square. Would a boolean be involved ?
Any help appreciated.

NCsoft reveals Aion: The Official Magazine, a monthly online publication that delivers the latest news, player guides, and community tips to Aion players to the tune of $3.99 an issue, with exclusive in-game items coming every month.
The first issue of Aion: The Official Magazine hits the game's official website next month, with 100 pages worth of news, features, guides, and interviews. It also includes an exclusive Kerub hat for your character. Which is more attractive to your average Aion player?
Preordering the first issue scores players five black or white dyes, used to change the color of their characters' clothing, while purchasing a subscription to the magazine offers even more rewards, with pilot hats, scrolls, potions, and more for those opting to pay $21.54 for a 6-issue subscription or $47.88 for 12-issues.
Note that the 12-issue price is likely a typo. The website says $3.19 an issue, which would actually work out to $38.28.
It seems a bit pricey for an online-only publication, but then I work for a website that pumps out information on a daily basis without charging for it, so I'm biased. I also don't hand out codes for in-game items every month, which I suspect will be the main reason people buy Aion: The Official Magazine.

Rep. McCarthy to undergo treatment for lung cancer
WASHINGTON Rep. Carolyn McCarthy says she will undergo treatment for lung cancer.
The New York Democrat serving her eighth term said Monday in a statement that treatment will begin soon and that she looks forward to returning to work after she recovers. McCarthy said she's a fighter who is committed to beating this latest challenge in her life. She also said she and her family would appreciate privacy while she has treatment.
McCarthy has been a prominent advocate for gun control in Congress. McCarthy's husband was killed and their son paralyzed in 1993 after a gunman opened fire on a Long Island Rail Road train, leaving five others dead.

Illustrative Masterplan - an expression of how the legacy masterplan framework
could be interpreted (!)
This is the blog site of Leabank Square.
We are in Hackney Wick - in east London, UK
It is for everyone who lives in Leabank Square to chat about the amazing neighbours, great gardens, wonderful Lea River - and best of all.... the best community spirit!
Why can't the houses be sited just behind the green?
Gainsborough School/Leabank Square → canal → tow-path → bridge ramps → playing fields → terraced houses.
That way - the teachers can see the playing fields. That way - we get a tiny bit of Arena Fields back on the waterfront.
Surely the terraced houses will be worth even more with a bit of green in front of them - and then the canal?
I'm sure the whole reason for them being sited here is for the LDA/ODA to get some of the money they spent back.
How's that for an interpretation?
Hello Sóna
This is such nonsence!! Where is our promised bit of Arena Fields opposite Leabank?!
Please tell me this isn't the final decision? Do we have to start fighting, screaming, getting visits from the ol' bill again?
I knew they were going to shaft us about the green!!
Hey Dude!!
How the hell did Steve get this image?! I have been searching the site for this kind of view, and I gave up after 2 days!
Thanks Steve!
So what are we gonna do Dude? This is simply not acceptable. Bearing in mind what Su says about the police, we still need to make our voices heard LOUD & CLEAR!!
We were promised a playing feild opposite us as part of the legacy. Now we have more houses?
Let's meet up on Sunday for a chat. Anyone else?
Hey guys I need help, I'm afraid I'm not smart enough to be able to interpret this picture properly…
You see, what I'm looking at here makes me think of a scrambled blueprint for the infamous H block in Northern Ireland's Maze prison… and yet… isn't it meant to be "Parkland"?
If so, the land of the park seems to have shrunk to the size of 2 tennis courts squeezed inside a large penal complex, in which case, I guess that makes it the exercise yard.
Is it just me, or can anyone else already hear the words softly saying; "Welcome! Pensioner cell block-H"?
We need to focus now. Please find out from Julie King just who it is that we need to start engaging with about the legacy.
She may not know - as it's strictly the LDA's job - but she might have a short cut for us to someone's desk.
We all need to meet to set up a MASSIVE campaign group whose main focus is to change the LDA's mind about the siting of this green.
I've set up a meeting with the governors of Gainsborough for next week (details to follow - it might have to be in your flat again) - in order to make the campaign residential/educational/environmental/local.
There is still enough time to make them change their plans - but we do need to start now!
Mr Black
Not so clever Hackney Council will probably not even consider that area of land is more likely to flood as per the recent Environment Agency's constant letters & warnings. We never got flood warnings before the Olympic site existed!!
Great point Zoulla
Maybe they should just revert it back into open park land again!
Please Sóna - we have GOT to resist this building directly opposite us!! The top building with those 4-5 story blocks will be an absolute nightmare!!
Remember all those years ago when we all wrote to prescott about Arena Fields? Do you think this is what he was holding back on all this time?
Please - get everyone together to start a highly active campaign against this catastrophe!!
Hi Sóna
Remember back to the second or third Olympic presentation in The Old Baths?
Remember how they said that Gainsborough would get their playing fields back opposite the school?
Then about a year later, we heard that Arena Fields would be given back to Hackney Wick (somewhere in Hackney), not neccesarily opposite Gainsborough.
Now we see that a sliver of playing fields will be glimpsed through tower blocks well away from the canal!!
There is no way this will happen. There will be so much protest about this that the LDA & ODA will have the biggest headache for years to come!
Again it's a case of some planners thinking that they know whats best for us local thickos. Meanwhile, it's actually all about money!
They will be able to sell waterside apartments for much higher prices than ones behind a playing field!
No Way!!
Hey Mate!
These pics look absolutely shocking man!
I cannot imagine what life is going to be like with flats directly opposite our bedroom windows.
This is right diabolical mate! We have gotta fight it and use the media to help us man.
Give us a bell to chat about it.
Please don't forget to keep Wick Village in the loop as well. I know we don't really have a choice about the IPC/MBC shoved in our faces, but we still want the green bit of Arena Fields returned back to the towpath.
Any campaign will have 100% of our backing as well.
Is there any way you could raise this issue when you go for the next Hackney Wick Partnership meeting please?
I guess what I am asking is that we need all the help we can get, and if the board wasn't expecting the moving of the green, then maybe you can get them to query this new move on our behalf?
I know most of what you do there is confidential, and you don't particularly like asking favours of them, but we need as many mates as we can get just now.
Hi Shona
I hope Hackney Council will support us for once. What about that waistecoat guy you keep raving about?
Please give him a call & beg him to give us a contact person to start lobbying. At the second last meeting you said that he was one of us 'definetely not a suit' you said. Well - now's the time to put his money where his waistecoat is!
Hello Sóna
We will fight them on the towpaths..... Where's our Churchill now?!
Sóna, please start making enquiries about who exactly we need to speak to about the location of the green. We can't afford to waste time talking to some bunch of PR people representing the decision makers. We have to speak DIRECTLY to the people who can LISTEN!
Can you believe how we've been shafted?!?
Why should we trust ANYTHING they say when they blatantly lied to us about the playing fields?
Why does the IOC/ODA/LDA get away with bare-faced lies? Surely when someone this big tells a porkie, something should happen to punish them?
Are they just simply allowed to lie like that?
Please could someone answer me?
OMG!!! These pics leave me so panicked!
Please sign me up to any campaign setting this right. The accountants from the olympics can't undo plans just cos they want more money after the games.
Sign me up
The best hope we have of making sure this NEVER happens - is to lobby Hackney Council.
It it them who surely have to give planning permission for this to happen.
The greatest thing in our favour - is the longevity of the Leabank Square Community Association. The majority of our members have been here since the beginning of Leabank Square - and are going to be here for many decades to come!
This means that there is consistency to our opposition. We will always be opposing this plan no matter how many of the ODA/LDA & Hackney Council people change.
They will come& go - but we will always be here because it's where we live!
Hi Sona
We were promised that the playing fields were going to be returned to directly opposite the school - and now it looks like they're going to be hidden behind a block of flats!
Due we sue the estate agent or the LDA? Who messed up? Who told us porkies?
Please could you find out so that we can start the legal ball rolling?
Hi Sóna
What about having a couple stairs coming down from each side of the new bridge down onto Leabank Square & Wick Village riverbanks.
This would be a great way of getting residents used to the idea of maybe having a towpath along our side of the canal all the way from the eastway to the station.
Initially - we could have a lockable gate at the top of the stairs at the bridge level, but as we all get used to the idea, these could be taken away.
I'll show you what I mean at the meeting.
Thanks - Nadira & Sóna

Outside the Supreme Court, a late-March snow fell as activists talked, held banners and prayed. Inside the hallowed halls, the justices debated whether companies should be forced to provide employee health care coverage that involves violating their owners' religious principles.
Outside the Supreme Court, a late-March snow fell as activists talked, held banners and prayed. Inside the hallowed halls, the justices debated whether companies should be forced to provide employee health care coverage that involves violating their owners' religious principles.
The controversy surrounding this contentious issue has nothing to do with limiting access to birth control, as most of the mainstream media seems to believe, but protecting the religious freedom of those — including religious sisters who serve the elderly poor — who can't in good conscience participate in policies that cover contraceptives and abortion procedures.
As the snow piled up on the benches outside the Court, Ed and Barbara Green walked down the steps. The Greens are the evangelical family who run the Hobby Lobby arts and craft chain.
"The choice that the government has forced on us is out of step with the history of our great nation founded on religious freedom," Barbara Green said. "We believe that no American should lose their religious freedom just because they open a family business."
As Anthony Hahn, the Mennonite CEO of Conestoga Wood, a cabinet-making company in Pennsylvania, and a co-plaintiff with the Greens, explained how he got to the last place he ever expected to find himself — in front of cameras at the Supreme Court — his wife, Carolyn, looked radiant. The Hahns and the Greens know what a gift religious liberty is, and they won't give it up without a fight.
The Department of Justice argues that people give up their religious-liberty rights when they go into business, and given the fact that many are willing to restrict their religious beliefs to Sunday worship, weddings and funerals, it's a believable position.
While in Rome on political business recently, President Obama took time to meet with Pope Francis. The White House had hoped to benefit from papal popularity and divert attention away from the Obamacare debate in the Supreme Court. When the White House lost its grip on the narrative somewhat, the president, after downplaying any disagreements he might have with the pope and the Catholic Church (never mind evangelicals and Mennonites!), explained: "I don't think that His Holiness envisions entering into a partnership or a coalition with any political figure on any issue. His job is a little more elevated. We're down on the ground dealing with the often profane, and he is dealing with higher powers."
This is true, up to a point. The invitation that Pope Francis issues is to a reality where one knows he is loved by God, the creator of the world, that he has a Savior who won victory over death, and has a counselor in the Holy Spirit — he is treasured and never alone. If you believe this, it's hard to live life superficially, it's hard not to be transformed. But let's look a little deeper at the mechanics of this message.
At the meeting, Pope Francis gave the president a copy of his apostolic exhortation, "Gospel of Joy." In it, he criticizes "the gray pragmatism of the daily life of the Church, in which all appears to proceed normally, while in reality faith is wearing down and degenerating into small-mindedness."
The Hahns, Greens and their co-plaintiffs in the Obamacare lawsuit do not divide their business lives from their spiritual lives. They seek to live life authentically, as people of faith who try to make it possible for their employees to do the same, if they so choose. This is some of what the pope is getting at. So many people of faith live lives of practical atheism, where we privatize our faith and do not overwhelm people with Christian hope, love and joy. This is a spiritual matter, yes, but it perforce must involve political stands and physical action to have a true effect on the world.
Ultimately, much of the media wrote up the papal-presidential meeting as an exchange of ideas about income inequality, and maybe contraception was mentioned. That's missing the story. The Greens and the Hahns may not fully have our attention, but we're free to listen and join them in their exercise of and defense of freedom.

Two missing Amish sisters turned up safe Thursday evening, about 24 hours after they were apparently abducted from their family's roadside farm stand in northern New York, authorities said.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain said the girls were cold and wet but unharmed when they sought help at a home in Richville, about 13 miles from where they disappeared in the rural town of Oswegatchie.
She said the 12-year-old and 7-year-old were dropped off and knocked on the door, asking for help getting home. A neighbor who visited the girls' family after hearing word of their return said she spoke with one of their brothers, who said they were well and being checked out.

"We have the sheriff's department and the FBI speaking with the young ladies," Rain said, while noting that the Amish are a "very private people."
She said investigators believe more than one person was responsible for the girls' disappearance and she was confident they would be identified.
Oswegatchie is a farming community of about 4,000 people on the Canadian border about 150 miles north of Albany.
Word of the girls' return came shortly after about 200 people attended a candlelight prayer vigil at Cornerstone Wesleyan Church in nearby Heuvelton.
They sang "Amazing Grace" and "This Little Light of Mine," read psalms and called children to the altar for a round of prayers.
Dot Simmons, a member of the congregation and neighbor of the girls' family, said despair turned to joy when she returned home from the vigil to word that the girls were safe.
She and her husband got a call saying that police scanner calls were reporting the unexpected outcome and they drove next door to find an ambulance and one of the family's older sons sharing the good news.
At the nearby police command post, authorities weren't releasing any information, but the subdued atmosphere had given way to law enforcement officers exchanging smiles and high-fives.
The sisters vanished at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday after a white or light-colored car pulled up to the farm stand and they went down to tend to the customers while the rest of their family stayed at a barn for the evening milking.
Searchers had scoured far northern New York in a hunt hampered by the lack of photos of the girls for authorities to circulate among a frightened community. There were no photos because the Amish tend to shun modern technology, but the family agreed to the release of a sketch of the older child, St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said.
The girls are among the youngest of the family's 13 children, who range in age from 1 to 21 years, Simmons said.
The girls routinely took on the chore of selling the fruits, vegetables, jams and other products of the farm, Simmons said.
"It's absolutely amazing," she said of their return.
St. Lawrence County is home to New York's second-largest Amish population, which has grown in the past decade because of productive land and property prices lower than in Pennsylvania.

HOUSTON – The Dynamo's opportunity to win two consecutive games for the first time this season ended in approximately two minutes as the Colorado Rapids jumped out early and, along with a man advantage for 80 minutes, dismantled Houston 3-0 on Saturday night.
Houston opened the game in disastrous fashion with the team ceding a goal in the game's opening two minutes, losing a player to red card by the 10th minute, and giving up two more goals by the game's 23rd minute. As a result, the night was over before it really ever began for Houston.
"I think when you give up a goal and have a sending off in the first seven minutes and then another goal comes right after, you have definitely put yourself in a hole," Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said.
Lovel Palmer's red card in the 10th minute came with some controversy. Palmer and Rapids midfielder Pablo Mastroeni went for a 50-50 ball and Mastroeni clearly got to the ball first.
The Rapids captain took offense to the hard challenge including one arm of Palmer's connecting with his face. As both tumbled to the ground, Mastroeni kicked at Palmer and the Jamaican international retaliated, with Mastroeni receiving yellow and Palmer seeing red.
"I think the referees got it wrong," Kinnear said. "I think in that exchange, two men needed to be shown red cards."
After falling down three goals, Kinnear brought on Eddie Robinson and Mike Chabala and both seemed to play like players determined to try to earn their places back in the starting lineup. Along with Brian Mullan and second half substitute Cam Weaver, the team's energy and fight probably deserved at least one goal, but it was not to be.
"We were still pushing forward and not going to sit back and say the game was over," noted Kinnear. "It's tough being down 0-3 with 10 men, but I told them I need to see legs moving and everyone caring and I think I saw that."
While Houston's playoff chances may have taken a punishing blow, the pride shown by the team in battling through the second half was admirable.
"I told the guys at halftime we are playing for personal pride and respect for your teammates and your coaching staff, and they showed that in the second half," said the Dynamo manager.

If you don't want to read, please read at least just this !!!
This kernel is intended to be used on willl03's SlimKat ROMs.
This kernel may not work properly on other CM11 based ROM !!
[size=160][b]Before proceding, please consider learning from Garfield :
(Thanx to MuertoKo for this educational image)
I have spend numerous hours coding, merging ... and writing this OP, so please have the decency to at least read it before asking questions.
FIRST OF ALL, do a Nandroid backup before flashing !
By flashing this kernel you agree to do this at your very own risk ! I will and can not be
held responsible for whatever may happen as a consequence of using this kernel / script generator.
This software is made available to you as is, no waranties can be given.
If you do not agree to these terms, then please use your browser's back key.
Installing this kernel will trip the Knoxx efuse, which will have been tripped already since you need
a custom recovery to flash this kernel.
Seeing this on boot will be normal once you use a custom kernel :
You have been warned !
ROM Compatibility
This kernel is intended only to be used on willl03's deCAF SlimKat ROMs.
This kernel will not work on any current CM11 based ROM !!
What To Expect Using This Kernel
First of all, the main reason this kernel even exists is because I make it for my own personal use, I don't mind adding one or the other feature upon request by a user even if I don't use that feature personnally.
Main objectives for this kernel :
- be as stable as possible to be usable as a perfect daily kernel (conservative approach)
- give a good battery life while being snappy
- give users an easy and safe way to customize settings
- be and stay as close to stock Samsung as possible
- allow only for moderate CPU OC
- include some standard Linux features missing in stock kernel (e.g. kernel module support...)
- include interesting commits by other devs (giving proper credit, of course !)
- updated to kernel.org Linux (ok scratch that, 3.4.y is just too much trouble, not worth the effort)
What NOT To Expect Using This Kernel
- experimental modifications
- cutting edge development
- thrive to be the first, fastest, best, most advanced ... kernel ever !
I just suspect there is a public for genuine slightly modified kernels that are a no fuzz to use, and which are aimed towards "standard power users" as opposed to "hungry beta testers and debuggers" (been there, done that, fun time in my HD2 times helping as I could on Dorimanx kernel). But I need my device on a daily bases, privately and for work, so my device just has to work.
Credits & Thanx
This is the most important bit of them all, a small place to pay tribute to all those who have helped me making this kernel :
- Faux123
Thanx for helping me get started, out of an almost 20 years break on Linux kernel compiling (at the time it was Linux 0.47 if I remember well), helping me build my compile box(es), upfront getting my first Android kernel compiled, making mods, merging sources, using github in general ... and always taking the time to explain and help out !
- Corrsea
Huge thanx for thorough testing and usefull advice, since my first steps on Android, at the time we were both running Tytung's Nexus HD2 on our initially WinMo device, chasing any possible bugs there were to iron out.
- Sotmax
Huge thanx for making a perfectly stable 240dpi Samsung based ROM, that has become my a daily driver !
- MuertoKo
Thanx for pushing me here and there to go further with my kernels, and for testing them on your daily and reporting back.
- uberto.costanzo & F3nr1s
Thanx for your support, for testing the kernel and reporting back.
- Amarullz
And last but nowhere least, huge thanx to Amarullz for giving us such a great tool, without Aroma Installer flashing kernels / ROMs would still be stone-age kind of voodoo magic, now it has become a proper user experince, giving everybody an easy way to customize whatever is being flashed !
Kernel Cleanup Script, to be flashed when going to a different kernel :
Kernel configuration & log files removal (will be added at a later time)

Wayland picking guitar for music curriculum
Carl Moman never claimed to be an expert on the guitar. But when one of his music majors wanted to use the guitar for her principal instrument, he felt led to offer private instruction for her benefit.
Before long, others caught wind and signed up for their own private lessons, a sign to Moman that Wayland Baptist University's Department of Music might benefit as well from adding guitar to their musical offerings.
Moman, who serves as chairman of the Division of Fine Arts as well as professor of music, said popularity of the guitar seems to be on the rise with the growth of the praise and worship era, especially among college and high school students. But he said an accompanying trend for those students is a limited knowledge of chords only and not a full knowledge of how to really play the instrument.
Beginning this semester, Moman is offering private instruction and has eight students enrolled, one through the university's Academy of Fine Arts continuing education program. Few are music majors. With the popularity this first term, he said class lessons will likely be offered in subsequent terms, with private lessons for those who want to continue at intermediate levels. Student Alfred Gomez, a transfer student who Moman said is a very talented guitarist, helps serve as a teaching assistant. Moman also hopes to hire an adjunct guitar instructor.
Moman, a tenor who has long used the voice as his primary instrument, said he initially began playing the guitar years ago while teaching at the secondary level. But it was just a few years ago that he began playing again regularly.
"It was the 1968-69 school year, and I was teaching vocal music in Richland, Missouri to grades five through eight. I was trying to get boys involved in music because there weren't many in choir, so I offered the guitar," he recalled. "I hadn't even owned a guitar before this, and the school bought me one. I stayed one lesson ahead of them with my guitar and taught them to play."
The instrument caught on and the school formed a musical ensemble that toured briefly. After returning to St. Louis to become a minister of music, Moman said he began to work with the guitar classically.
For many years, though, after he began teaching at Wayland in the 1980s, the instrument didn't get much wear. In 2000, when wife Mary Lou began playing the hammer dulcimer, he picked up the guitar again as an accompaniment to her instrument. He's been playing ever since and admits a fondness for the instrument.
"It's a daily passion for me. It's very therapeutic too," he said. "It makes you be quiet and patient. You don't make the same kind of progress as on a piano so you have to be patient. It's the biggest musical challenge I've had, but it is imminently rewarding."
Moman said he's already seen an improvement in his pupils' quality of play and admits he's also improved by teaching. He plans to do a studio recital for his guitar students later in the spring with his voice students.

BERLIN — The Rackliffe House Trust is recruiting volunteers to serve as docents at Rackliffe House, an 18th-Century plantation house near Assateague Island that has been beautifully restored and now functions as a coastal heritage museum.
New volunteers must participate in a training session on Thursday, May 23. Once trained, volunteers will enhance the Assateague visitor's experience through leading house tours and communicating Rackliffe's unique cultural history story.
Individuals 18 years and older with an interest in local history and good public speaking skills may find this position particularly rewarding. Volunteers will become acquainted with the history of Rackliffe House and Maryland's seaside heritage. Volunteers are asked to commit to working two days each month summer through late autumn.
In 2012, docents welcomed 1,100 visitors to Rackliffe House and donated more than 300 hours of service.
Interested individuals are asked to contact Jim Rapp at firstname.lastname@example.com or 443-614-0261.

elementary school, I pass time in the final classes of my conventional education, checking my watch with the same eagerness as an ADD five-year old. Excited by the prospect of new experiences and a faster pace of life, I kick back in my chair. Instead of staring into the depths of my small hands, I flick and tap on the screen of my iPhone taking pictures of my last month of college.

All of these photos were taken with my iPhone 3Gs and filtered with Colorcross from Camerbag.

I'm a pretty firm believer that the best team wins the World Cup (well, apart from South Africa in '95, though they were very good) & looking back at those clips from '87 and '91, those have to be two of the greatest teams ever. I doubt we'll see another team dominate a World Cup like those '87 All Blacks did.
-- The All Blacks finally put together a great team after five frustrating years.
-- Rob Andrews' drop goal against Australia. Sweet, sweet payback.
-- Zinzan's audacious drop goal in the Semi against England.
-- Jonah.
-- The controversal final, including the post-match dinner walk out.
-- Mandela and Pienaar.
