Proposed Canon
Among other things, Hippiemancy is the magic of relationships: detecting and altering the forces of opposition and attraction which bind people or units. Date-a-mancy is the oddest branch of Hippiemancy, in that it follows the Numbers which underlie all action. Date-a-mancy tries to quantify the intangible, things like leadership and compatibility and morale and Loyalty and Duty and even love, by means of match-ups. This can be very useful in warfare and logistics, but tends to wreak havoc among personal and political relationships. Sides tend not to keep their Date-a-mancers very long, because knowing the cold truth behind our interpersonal relationships only causes grief.
- Date-a-mancy was used in the creation of the Laurel of Napster, alongside Hat Magic, in a Caster Link. Considering the Magic Item is worn on the head, we can assume that the greater part of the abilities of the item are Date-a-mantic in nature. The item allows its wearer to instantly and accurately surmise the likely result of any two units engaging in direct single combat. In this way a Warlord can choose the most advantageous pairings in a fight, and improving his side's chances of success. Therefore it is likely that one aspect of Date-a-mancy is the instantaneous processing, and possibly the intuitive acquisition, of important data. Contrasting this with Mathamancy as in Parson Gotti's Bracer, the Bracer provides a precise numerical probability of success or failure in a particular venture, whereas the Laurel simply provides a generalized advantage/disadvantage report (with some indication of severity). The Bracer would tell you how likely you were to win a combat overall, while the Laurel would tell you who would have an advantage if the two best fighters were to square off, for instance.
Known Date-a-mancers
Magical disciplines on Erfworld often include a variety of different applications, each of which is based on a different interpretation of the discipline's name. For example, Turnamancy grants power over both the number of turns it takes to pop a unit, and the turning of prisoners (changing Loyalty).
1) The term "Date-a-mancy" suggests a particularly interesting potential combination of abilities. First, since this magic is aligned with Numbers and with Hippiemancy, "date" may have a meaning similar to a calendrical date, making date-a-mancy an analog of numerology or astrology in some form or fashion. Another option playing on this relationship is interpreting the name as its homophone "datamancy" - the processing of information, like Mathamancy but with less numeric sorts of information. Date-a-mancy may also refer to "date" in the sense of a romantic pairing, i.e. "going on a date", and therefore be involved with love spells. This would be consistent with Hippiemancy ("Free Love").
2) Perhaps the best evidence into the nature of Date-a-mancy is where it falls within, and thus its connotations with Hippiemancy and a date-a-mancy influenced Laurel owned by Duncan Scone, chief warlord of Faq. With their confluence of Life and Matter and their absence of Motion Classes, it may be that within Hippiemancy Flower Power (Erf) might influence the environment/nature (space), Signamancy (Fate) might influence perspective/insight (vision), and Date-a-mancy (Numbers) might influence synchronicity . Synchronicity may be best understood as "time in meaningful events", or put more clearly from the typical perspective, "the inverse of meaningful events in time".
In this way, Date-a-Mancy may detect or impact meaningful events across dates and time. For example, Dittomancy (also of Matter and Numbers like Date-a-Mancy) appears to create causal replicas (Numbers) of stuff that already exists currently (no control over Time.) Foolamancy (also of Life and Numbers like Date-a-Mancy) appears to manipulate the appearance (Numbers) of existing beings including making non-empty space appear empty (again no control over Time.) In this way, coupled with the apparently experiential nature of Hippiemancy, Date-a-Mancy (Matter, Life, and Numbers), may allow a Date-a-Mancer to perceive, create, or replicate meaningful experiential connections (Life) of events (Stuff) acausally that is to say with control over Time or in other words with the ability to manipulate meaningful experiential connections across, between, or irrespective of different dates and times.
So what's the practical meaning of this? It could manifest in multitude of ways, but here are some examples 1) if Date-a-Mancy can give perception it might manifest as a Date-a-Mancer having the facility for accurate assumptions, as every wild guess made turns out to be true, 2) if Date-a-Mancy can create it might manifest as a Date-a-Mancer having the ability to cause "the most unpredictable yet possible" coincidence to occur which would be likely unknowable in advance to the Date-a-Mancer or anyone else, yet be literally reasonably explained post event, 3) if a Date-a-Mancer can replicate it might manifest as the experience of Déjà vu or the experience of classically defined synchronicity .
Finally, the descriptions (above) now have evidence in the date-a-mancy influenced artifact owned by Duncan Scone, chief warlord of Faq. The magic Laurel allows Duncan to do match up scenarios of two units (or perhaps stacks) in a battle and see who is most likely the victor. In this way, he can pick optimal match-ups and not waste stronger units overpowering weaker (overkill) or the reverse despite unit appearances. This power in addition to predicting the future also has the pun of not being unlike a 'date' between two battling units. | <urn:uuid:ff1d8bee-1b8b-4617-b0f5-b40c5f7475eb> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.erfworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Date-a-mancy&diff=prev&oldid=60739 | 2013-05-19T19:07:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934873 | 1,297 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
When Lady Gaga is involved, you can bet this is NSFW. While it was big news that Nicola Formichetti, Lady Gaga's original stylist, would be presenting his first womenswear collection for resurgent Paris design house Thierry Mugler, it might have been bigger news that Vogue March cover girl Lady Gaga would be walking in the show, which was live-streamed yesterday on Facebook. Nicola presented his bevy of models as various versions of Catwoman, wearing dangerously high shoes that caused a few almost-spills. And we're not talking pussycats. More like dangerous, claw-your-eyes-out cats, led by big cat Lady Gaga. She had no problem with the treacherous shoes and later, at the afterparty, wore one of the runway looks with an equally treacherous-looking pair of black boots. Click our slideshow to see all the shots of Lady Gaga, plus the provocative Fall collection.

"We buy 10 million pounds a year of just one product," says Kathleen Wood, COO of Raising Cane's, a 43-unit regional chain based in Baton Rouge. "When you have a single menu item, it's very important to have a great vendor-partner relationship," Wood explains. "It's critical to keeping our supply chain moving efficiently and safely."
Here are Wood's recommendations for forging loyal and profitable vendor partnerships:
Establish a shared vision
Wood invited her vendors to spend time at corporate headquarters and in several store locations to achieve absolute clarity on Raising Cane's product specs and quality expectations.
Communicate growth priorities
Through on-site visits, weekly conference calls and constant e-mails, vendors and distributors keep in touch with the purchasing team to stay ahead of the production curve and keep up with expansion plans. Raising Cane's gets suppliers involved in R&D, testing products in the chain's facilities and providing input on best practices.
Create strategic relationships
Being involved from the concept's inception, vendors fully understand that they are in the strategic development business, not just the commodity business. "Our supplier partnerships provide stability and consistency. That inspires confidence in our franchisees, managers and investors." | <urn:uuid:27ed23c8-e3c2-478d-82f6-37f7da24afa6> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.foodservicedirector.com/operations/buying/articles/sourcing-it-right?quicktabs_most_viewed_tabby=1 | 2013-05-19T19:04:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945265 | 253 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Translated into practical action, the first step of prudence is to set your priorities, objectives, goals and actions. Let's take a look at each of these steps to exercising prudence.
The first step to exercising prudence is to clarify your priorities. What do you hold as most important in your life? What will make you truly happy?
This is not just a subjective question. We really do need to have our priorities in the right order. The more disordered our priorities, the more energy we waste and the less fulfilled we are.
Once we set our priorities according to what will truly make us happy, we then need to live by those priorities. That's where the real challenge comes in.
The next step toward living our priorities is to set goals that align our lives with our priorities.
Goals are very general statements about the direction you want your life to take. They are based on your priorities - what is most important in your life. They lead you to create specific objectives.
|General directions.||Specific targets.|
|Help us to orient our lives according to our priorities.||Help us to advance our goals.|
|May be observable but they are not measurable.||Usually measurable.|
|Can never be completed or met.||May be ongoing (such as doing something every day), there is a specific end that tells you if whether the objective has been met or not (I did or did not do this task today).|
So, for example, a priority is to grow in my relationship with God. In order to do that I create a goal for myself of "improving my prayer life." To help advance that goal, I create a specific objective of "praying Morning Prayer before breakfast every day." Every time I accomplish my objective I advance my goal and therefore stay true to my priority.
It can be very helpful to set up an accountability system for goals and objectives. This can be a loved one with the ability to be brutally honest with you. Or you can use a technological solution. Personally, I use Toodledo as my task list, which helps you set goals and track how many of your completed tasks have contributed to each goal.
Setting the right objectives is really important. Here is where the rubber meets the road. Meeting an objective is the only way you know for sure that you are really living your goal and therefore are oriented to your priorities.
Here are some guidelines for setting good objectives:
1. Create each objective directly from a goal.
2. Don't go overboard! Set a few at a time. If your objectives have a point of completion, set new ones as you complete your current objectives. If they are are ongoing, wait until you have firmly established a habit before adding more objectives to your list.
3. As much as possible, make your objectives measurable. They should at least be observable and specific so you can definitively track if you've done them or not. It's even better to make them measurable - losing x amount of weight by a certain date, praying the Rosary x number of times in a certain time period, etc. That way you can get a sense of progress, or a specific plan for improvement.
4. Write your objectives down! Make them concrete. Writing them down also gives you the opportunity to review them on a daily basis. Keeping them fresh in your mind helps develop the willpower to follow through on them.
5. Identify possible obstacles to achieving each objective. These can be personal obstacles (the tendency to procrastinate) or external obstacles (having young children in the home). Then make a plan to overcome or get around these obstacles. | <urn:uuid:9c5e094a-ee22-4750-9953-6ed0740770e4> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.fromtheabbey.com/prudence-priorities-goals-objectives/ | 2013-05-19T18:26:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950999 | 751 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Among the bigger-name streaming services are Spotify, which uses a freemium ad-supported, desktop app-based model; Rdio, which takes a tiered, cloud-based approach; and Pandora, whose personalised streaming radio is also available on a freemium ad-supported model. There’s also Wimp, Rara, Napster, We7, Pure, Last.fm, Senzari, Grooveshark, Sony Music Unlimited, Songza, Mog, Samsung Music Hub, and Microsoft’s Xbox Music, to name a few. In total, more than 500 legal music services are operating across the world, together having registered over 13 million paying subscribers - a figure that jumped more than 65 per cent last year, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry’s (IFPI) Digital Music Report 2012 ….
It’s all about access, not ownership. And Freemium. The music business needs to get this, or fold.
Whereas Pandora, and many of its competitors, use a compulsory license to stream music to users, Apple is looking to forge direct deals with labels for more comprehensive and flexible licensing. In other words, Apple radio probably won’t ever tell you that you can’t skip a song. And unlike Pandora, if you want to listen to all Johnny Cash, all the time, Apple won’t fold in music that’s similar to Johnny Cash just to follow licensing requirements. In essence, it is expected to be the best internet radio ever. If real, of course.
Gerd comments: Apple knows that very soon, listening IS THE SAME as downloading - there is no real difference between radio and ‘buying a song’, very soon. Stay tuned.
With most other businesses, if a supplier makes unreasonable demands, a retailer can turn to other providers,” wrote Michael Robertson, CEO and founder of MP3tunes.com, about the problems with the industry . “Since copyright law gives record labels and publishers a government-granted monopoly, no such option is possible with music. Digital vendors have only two options: Accept the terms or not include those songs in their offering.
Great piece. What a mess. Glad I have departed this industry. | <urn:uuid:11a17d33-65fc-465d-b077-75fabf9f388e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.futureof.biz/tagged/pandora | 2013-05-19T18:58:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.917143 | 472 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

I'd like to say "good-bye" to our good friends and well-known friends of the caching community of Maine...EGSG...Ed and Sharon who are on their way to Texas. Happy trails and happy caching. We hope you enjoy your new home and look forward to a visit from you next summer. We'll be following your logs to see what interesting predicaments you encounter. Good luck!:D
10-12-2005, 04:41 PM
We add our best wishes to you as well. We enjoyed talking to you at caching events, and usually being behind you on the caching trail! We hope to get to Texa ssomeday, and will depend on you you have a "cold one" waiting. ;) ;)
10-12-2005, 07:08 PM
Best of luck to you guys,I still remember the first time we met at the Boxboard Mill cache here in Fairfield and I had to give you a little extra help finding the cache;) ;) ;) .Keep in touch with us Mainiacs and it has been my pleasure to be a part of this great geocaching community that you will always still be a part of. Happy Caching Haffy
10-12-2005, 09:57 PM
:) It's been a pleasure to get to know you two. Best of luck in Texas, we will all surely miss you. I'll keep an eye on a couple of your caches...
10-13-2005, 12:51 AM
Best of luck. Wish we could see you one last time out the event coming up. But we all know you are buisy. You are both wonderful people and will be very much missed by our small but growing geocaching community here in Maine. Hope you found a good home for your dog and don't be shy. You can still log onto the web site here and say Hi.
10-13-2005, 05:02 AM
Good luck. Please post here from time to time and keep us up to date.
10-13-2005, 06:19 AM
Both Lee and myself will miss you. Have fun, and come back for the events, and a few real caches!
10-13-2005, 08:23 AM
i didn't get a chance to really know you, and didn't get to cache with you. but i do want to wish you the best, and a safe journey!
10-13-2005, 11:58 AM
i didn't get a chance to really know you, and didn't get to cache with you. but i do want to wish you the best, and a safe journey! I agree, have a safe one!
10-13-2005, 05:44 PM
Best of luck to you! Sounds like you are excited and will have lots of fun. Am sure you will miss lots of things about Maine though - the caches, the snow, the people, the cache events, and much, much more! Enjoy : )
10-13-2005, 05:59 PM
I lived in Texas for 2 1/2 years, and as I look back, I shudder to think of the culture shock EGSG will have to endure! :( :( :(
Instead of venison or moose at a BBQ, there'll probably be goat. (They don't call Texans "goat ropers" for nothing!)
Instead of Casco Bay, or Shipyard, they'll have to drink Lone Star or Pearl.
Instead of Moxie, they'll have Big Red.
Instead of fishing for trout or salmon, they'll have to settle for crappie and bluegills!
Instead of dead raccoons and skunks in the middle of the road, there'll be possum and armadillos.
Instead of watching for ticks on the cache trail, they'll be watching for rattlesnakes. (Bet they'll think twice about reaching under that rock to see if it's there... LOL!)
Sheesh! I wonder how long it will be before they're back! LOL!
10-13-2005, 07:33 PM
Best wishes to EGSG! We'll all sure miss you, and John and I will take good care of Casey's cache and Taste of Texas.
Diana and John

Don't let the door hit you in the a__ on the way out! LOL :D I hope you enjoy you new change of scene. Please feel free to come back here and visit often.
10-14-2005, 08:39 AM
Best wishes to Ed and Sharon!!! Happy Caching!
10-14-2005, 01:40 PM
Ed and Sharon,
As I hit some of these NH caches seeing your name reminds me of good times had. Had a good life and hope to see you again when you're up for a visit.
Best wishes, Brad
Thanks to all the Maine geocachers for your kind words. We have done the wedding in MA and are on our way to Texas. We are only in eastern PA now and have only done 15 caches so far. We've been skipping most of the film canisters in light poles, but the pickings are getting pretty slim. We were very happy to get the Fort Williams cache. We look foward to a trip to Maine next summer.
Ed and Sharon
P.S. Congratulations to Parmachenee!!

A String is a list of characters. String constants in Haskell are values of type String.
This library provides support for strict state threads, as described in the PLDI '94 paper by John Launchbury and Simon Peyton Jones Lazy Functional State Threads.
Mutable references in the (strict) ST monad.
Mutable references in the (strict) ST monad (re-export of Data.STRef)
The String type and associated operations.
Utilities for primitive marshalling of C strings.
The marshalling converts each Haskell character, representing a Unicode code point, to one or more bytes in a manner that, by default, is determined by the current locale. As a consequence, no guarantees can be made about the relative length of a Haskell string and its corresponding C string, and therefore all the marshalling routines include memory allocation. The translation between Unicode and the encoding of the current locale may be lossy.
This module is part of the Foreign Function Interface (FFI) and will usually be imported via the module Foreign.
The module Foreign.Storable provides most elementary support for marshalling and is part of the language-independent portion of the Foreign Function Interface (FFI), and will normally be imported via the Foreign module.
The lazy state-transformer monad. A computation of type ST s a transforms an internal state indexed by s, and returns a value of type a. The s parameter is either
* an unstantiated type variable (inside invocations of runST), or
* RealWorld (inside invocations of stToIO).
It serves to keep the internal states of different invocations of runST separate from each other and from invocations of stToIO.
The >>= and >> operations are not strict in the state. For example,
> runST (writeSTRef _|_ v >>= readSTRef _|_ >> return 2) = 2
The strict state-transformer monad. A computation of type ST s a transforms an internal state indexed by s, and returns a value of type a. The s parameter is either
* an uninstantiated type variable (inside invocations of runST), or
* RealWorld (inside invocations of Control.Monad.ST.stToIO).
It serves to keep the internal states of different invocations of runST separate from each other and from invocations of Control.Monad.ST.stToIO.
The >>= and >> operations are strict in the state (though not in values stored in the state). For example,
> runST (writeSTRef _|_ v >>= f) = _|_
An abstract name for an object, that supports equality and hashing.
Stable names have the following property:
* If sn1 :: StableName and sn2 :: StableName and sn1 == sn2 then sn1 and sn2 were created by calls to makeStableName on the same object.
The reverse is not necessarily true: if two stable names are not equal, then the objects they name may still be equal. Note in particular that mkStableName may return a different StableName after an object is evaluated.
Stable Names are similar to Stable Pointers (Foreign.StablePtr), but differ in the following ways:
* There is no freeStableName operation, unlike Foreign.StablePtrs. Stable names are reclaimed by the runtime system when they are no longer needed.
* There is no deRefStableName operation. You can't get back from a stable name to the original Haskell object. The reason for this is that the existence of a stable name for an object does not guarantee the existence of the object itself; it can still be garbage collected.
A stable pointer is a reference to a Haskell expression that is guaranteed not to be affected by garbage collection, i.e., it will neither be deallocated nor will the value of the stable pointer itself change during garbage collection (ordinary references may be relocated during garbage collection). Consequently, stable pointers can be passed to foreign code, which can treat it as an opaque reference to a Haskell value.
A value of type StablePtr a is a stable pointer to a Haskell expression of type a.
The current thread's stack exceeded its limit. Since an exception has been raised, the thread's stack will certainly be below its limit again, but the programmer should take remedial action immediately.
A handle managing output to the Haskell program's standard error channel.
A handle managing input from the Haskell program's standard input channel.
A handle managing output to the Haskell program's standard output channel.
Increases the precedence context by one.
The member functions of this class facilitate writing values of primitive types to raw memory (which may have been allocated with the above mentioned routines) and reading values from blocks of raw memory. The class, furthermore, includes support for computing the storage requirements and alignment restrictions of storable types.
Memory addresses are represented as values of type Ptr a, for some a which is an instance of class Storable. The type argument to Ptr helps provide some valuable type safety in FFI code (you can't mix pointers of different types without an explicit cast), while helping the Haskell type system figure out which marshalling method is needed for a given pointer.
All marshalling between Haskell and a foreign language ultimately boils down to translating Haskell data structures into the binary representation of a corresponding data structure of the foreign language and vice versa. To code this marshalling in Haskell, it is necessary to manipulate primitive data types stored in unstructured memory blocks. The class Storable facilitates this manipulation on all types for which it is instantiated, which are the standard basic types of Haskell, the fixed size Int types (Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64), the fixed size Word types (Word8, Word16, Word32, Word64), StablePtr, all types from Foreign.C.Types, as well as Ptr.
Minimal complete definition: sizeOf, alignment, one of peek, peekElemOff and peekByteOff, and one of poke, pokeElemOff and pokeByteOff.

I don't remember the brand of pistons but I do remember they were flat top style and a compression ratio of like 10:1 (Not engine c/r but the pistons). Not sure what the actual C/R of the engine is. I plan to go back through this engine and try and get all the right parts that I need to produce the best HP.
Any suggestions on what to do to produce the best HP from this engine? I plan to re-use the heads and crank but would consider swapping out the rest. I believe my dad has a Performer RPM intake that I plan to use.
Read through all of this; for kid that didn't know what he was doing this is a damn great first effort. Now while you don't know the true compression, just that these flat top pistons rate 10:1, I'm assuming against a 64 cc chambered head, at this point the unknowns that could modify that up or down would be the head gasket thickness, deck clearance, effects of any head milling being different from the piston manufacturer's calculations. The Vortec heads would need modifications to the valve guides to accommodate this cam's lift even with a 1.5 rocker.
The parts used in this build would produce an engine that runs between 380 and 400 horses on a crankshaft dyno. I guess the real question is what do you want power wise and how do you really plan to use it. From where this is at getting more power as a 350 will take better heads and camshaft to support running the engine up over 6000 RPM, this might also need some bottom end improvements. I'd really start at the oil pan as well; this engine is standing on the edge of what is safe and reasonable with a stock pan. If it isn't done already, the bottom end needs a trap door 7-8 quart pan, a crank scraper, and a good windage tray because when the revs start seeing 6000 plus getting oil off the crank and back into the pan starts to be an edgy problem with the OEM set up to where if one thing goes slightly wrong and you own a pile of junk in less than a New York minute.
The other way to go is bigger by putting in a 383 kit. This really fattens the torque and horsepower curves without having to resort to all sorts of exotica that is necessary to get a smaller engine to this kind of power as the smaller engine must be spun faster to get the power. Spinning faster requires living with power that is weaker in the lower RPM range which drives you to lower gearing to get the revs up to where the power is. Internal to the engine it pushes into much better quality parts and balancing as the forces go up to the square of the RPMs so that which is tolerable at 5800 revs is not at 7000. The old adage that “speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go?” is more attached to making an exotic engine build power than it is to making a larger engine, which is why Detroit tended to reach for the boring bar rather than multiple Webbers and solid roller cams back in the muscle car days. In this case a 383 at 5800 RPM will be happy with a good quality cast crank for example maybe even GM powder metal rods with parts balanced to a gram or 2, a 350 turning 7000 for the same power is going to be looking at a 4340 forging for the crank and rods with the balancing done at .1 gram or better. It’s this level of better that gets expensive very fast. | <urn:uuid:9dafcdd0-b904-4a02-a267-cadf4c25ed36> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/sbc-350-engine-advice-needed-1605547-singlepost17.html | 2013-05-19T18:52:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965537 | 977 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Up All Night, an anthology of YA short stories about teenagers who can't fall asleep, will be released by HarperTeen on April 22! It's all prose except for one comic by me. My contribution is "The Motherless One," a tale from the early years of the Monkey King. I'm lucky enough to share space between the covers with such YA lit luminaries as Peter Abrahams, Libba Bray, David Levithan, Sarah Weeks, and Patricia Mccormick. Find it on Amazon here .
HarperTeen is doing something really cool with this book. Starting on the day of its publication, they're holding a short story writing contest for teenagers. The winner's story will be included in the softcover version of Up All Night. Details are in the book.

Jennifer Lawrence: Lovely at 'Letterman'
Jennifer Lawrence shows off her darker ‘do while arriving at The Ed Sullivan Theatre to tape an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday (May 19) in NYC.
The 20-year-old X-Men: First Class star recently opened up about training for her other upcoming film, The Hunger Games.
“I love archery! I really love it. And I’m starting to do stunts with the bow and arrow, so I kind of feel like Hugh Jackman, and then I’m doing rock climbing [and] tree climbing,” Jennifer, who’s playing Katniss Everdeen, told Access Hollywood.
In case you missed it, check out a first look of Jennifer as the The Hunger Games‘ heroine on the cover of EW!

The Two Standing Bear Banks
Recently a select group of items from the Kenton Hardware Companys sample room became available and this proved to be a rather informative occasion with interest centered on the items themselves. These included some still banks, toy cannon, and in particular a mechanical bank. The bank is the Bear Standing (Slot in Chest) and is pictured on the left in the photo.
Lets go back to November, 1965, for the moment and the issue of HOBBIES for that date. This issue contained the article covering the Bear Standing, and at that time no factual background on the bank had been established and was so stated in the article. Further, the bank was attributed to either Stevens or Kenton as being the manufacturer. Well there would seem to be no question now but that the Bear Standing was definitely a Kenton product. It was in their sample or display room for years along with other toys, banks, and so on that they manufactured. It just remained unnoticed and only recently, on the above mentioned occasion, the facts surrounding this particular mechanical bank came to light.
The sample example has a special finish in bronze plate, as did a number of their other display pieces, as well as some of their regular production toys. In its period, as has been mentioned before, this type finish was considered something special and of premium quality as compared to the regular painted type. No doubt Kenton displayed this Bear with its special finish for this very reason. In any case, it is the only one the writer has ever seen or knows of with the bronze plate finish.
The Bear pictured on the right is the same one shown in the November, 1965, article. It has the usual light tan overall paint with brown eyes and nose and a red mouth. The writer uses the term "usual" as this is the only way he has seen authentic examples of the bank painted. The two banks shown are identical with the exception of their respective finishes, and in closing this out for the present we are now just about as sure as we can be that the Bear Standing is a Kenton mechanical bank.

JOHN D. MEYER
We regretfully inform our readers of the death of John D. Meyer, the last of the older pioneer collectors of mechanical banks. Mr. Meyer had been a patient in Tyrone Hospital since May 7, of this year and died there September 1, after a long illness. He was 97 at the time.
Mr. Meyer started collecting mechanical banks in 1938 and the nucleus of his collection was a Tammany Bank which had been given to him when he was a small boy. This bank passed through the family to his niece, then to her three girls, and then was given back to Mr. Meyer where it became the cause or inspiration of his becoming a collector of mechanical banks.
In 1948, he published a book titled "A Handbook Of Old Mechanical Penny Banks", and Mr. Meyer lived to see his book actually become a collectors item. The book certainly helped the hobby considerably and the writer well remembers the great amount of time that Mr. Meyer spent in getting it together.
During the 10-year period of his starting to collect banks until the publication of his book he was particularly active in his hobby and formulated a fine collection including a number of rarities such as the Freedmans Bank, Presto Savings Bank, Snake And Frog In Pond, Royal Trick Elephant, Clown On Bar, and others. He continued the activity of his hobby up until fairly recent years.
In addition to mechanical banks, Mr. Meyer also had an interest in and collected to a more limited extent clocks, music boxes, ruby glass, coin glass, and to some extent, coins.
A bachelor, Mr. Meyer spent the greater part of his life in Tyrone, Pa., and resided in the First National Bank Building, Tyrone. He had many and varied interests and was a banker by profession, which career he began in 1909. In 1921 he was named Vice President of the Board, and as a Director retired at the age of 89.
John, as the writer was privileged to call him, will be missed by his many fellow mechanical bank collectors. He was the last of the old line pioneers who started their collections when they were mid-age men. | <urn:uuid:2e2fc56b-ca3a-4ca6-a235-7eb696aec21b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.mechanicalbanks.org/scrapbook/1970s/griffith_pages/71-11-griffith.htm | 2013-05-19T19:06:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986931 | 873 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

The Pyramids of Cheops, Chephran and Mycerinus were thought by the Greeks to be one of the seven wonders of the world. A single pyramid is comprised of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons. In the face of such immensity, one cannot help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers and artists have sought to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open to the public. Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates back to the time of Chephren (2620 BC). Hewn from natural limestone and standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body.
Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids
Guests enjoy a fabulous 45-minute show at the foot of the pyramids of Giza, held every evening. English language shows are held Monday-Saturday; French shows are featured Sunday-Wednesday and on Friday; German shows are on Sunday; and Arabic shows are on Thursday.
The Citadel and Khan El Khalili
Situated on a spur of the Muqattam Hills, the Citadel dominates Cairo's skyline and was the heart of the city and Egypt for almost 700 years. Its construction was initiated in 1176 by Saladin and completed by Muhammed Ali. Mameluke sultans and Turkish governors later made it their residence, building palaces and mosques within the Citadel walls. Facing the citadel is the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, built between 1356 and 1363, and perhaps the most majestic monument of Arab architecture in Egypt. The tour also includes a visit to Khan El Khalili, a famous Cairo bazaar dating back to the late 14th century.
The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum is the most important depository of Egyptian antiquities anywhere in the world. It features artifacts from the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods, including the celebrated mummies of ancient Egypt's kings and Tut Ankh Amun treasures. | <urn:uuid:149ac35a-a4f2-4a07-9565-d27799b10443> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.sonesta.com/Taba/index.cfm?fa=localarea.attractions1 | 2013-05-19T18:43:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95331 | 887 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Lee, a former fashion model, agency owner and television personality, finds herself in a parallel motion: "I'm in the third phase of Tracey, and I keep reinventing myself, but it all has an underlying current, much like a great piece of music, and it's all based around creativity. I'm a stylist, have just started a new television development company, and all of this is based around my love of designing and living and cooking and friends and family. It's all part of what I think the perfect American world is embracing all of these things and making a life."
Lee works with clients to bring a worldly, eclectic sophistication to their homes, drumming up their sense of personal heritage and encouraging a freewheeling fearlessness about decorating and design. It's a fresh approach that's also a passion.
"I don't consider myself an interior designer by any stretch," Lee says. "I majored in music in school, but creating a living space is something I really love to do, whether for me or someone else. I take great pride in making a room livable for someone, especially if they put their own stamp on it to make it their own, or allowing me to help them create something that says I'm Irish and I love it, or I'm a romantic, or sophisticated or whatever. I like finding that quality and making it happen."
Her sense of color, scale and texture brings the rooms in her stone house into a delightful balance - stimulating but relaxed, uptown without being untouchable. Music flows freely, fragrances are tantalizing, fresh flowers and paintings exert their visual punch. It is a place that's always ready for large groups of friends, who lap up Lee's signature pasta dishes with devotion. Or beg for her pork tenderloin with chocolate sauce. "A table's never too full," she says, crediting her mother Romayne for instilling a flair for living and entertaining and "picking up strays for Thanksgiving. She would bring musicians home all the time, and I never knew who would be in the house - Sammy Davis Jr, or Mel Torme, Jack Jones - I was just this little kid and it was an interesting life."
If there's any guiding wisdom that Lee swears by, it's to live only with things that you love.

View Full Version : no upnp servers found
03-13-2012, 07:45 AM
Okay trying to get this to work is causing me grief. Using WiFi no servers found, connection to internet is working. I have tversity, serviio, and now twonky server on my pc surely it should find one of these. All servers are set up and work correctly as if I do an Ethernet wired connection it streams fine. I however need this to work with wifi.
03-13-2012, 07:47 AM
check if you router has the option to activate UPNP for ethernet and WLAN seperately. Maybe there are two options.
And if you have any Firewall(s) running in the PS hosting the UPnP servers, just disable it/them.

black and white was a good choice
The effect of clouds made horror movie
subhendu_bagchi (16590) 2010-05-10 12:14
very well chosen black and white mode which is so much appealing for its fabulous cloud on top. The only thing is a bit irritating in this great shot is the tilted horizon in counter clock direction. But it is not a major issue. Anyway it is a great composition with the beautiful buildings at middle. Very well done. Tfs.

Featuring some of our new selections from our Early Spring 2013 Catalog!
Geiger of Austria is a fourth generation family enterprise offering distinct, alpine inspired clothing. Geiger coats are made of new wool, boiled in mountain spring water. Coats are made by an age old process that creates very special qualities - the stretch, the exquisite lightness, and deep rich colors.
1980 marks the year when GEIGER, who had successfully entered the US market, founded its US daughter company GEIGER of Austria, Inc. and one year later moved into a brand new distribution facility in Middlebury, VT.
GEIGER Walk (boiled wool) is easy to care for. Please refer to instructions listed on the care label of each item before cleaning. It is best not to dry clean boiled wool extensively. Tumble drying is also not recommended, even on a wool cycle setting, as exposure to motion and heat could cause excess felting of the wool.
In order to eliminate odors just air out your Geiger Walk item in a sheltered spot outside, or hang it in a steam filled bathroom. Within a few hours the garment will smell fresh. The steam will also greatly reduce the effect of wrinkles, making this material almost maintenance free. | <urn:uuid:b0d6f24a-b93d-497c-b6ab-559325721e14> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.tuttlecatalog.com/cat/shop-by-brand-geiger.cfm | 2013-05-19T18:34:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368697974692/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516095254-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956426 | 254 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The BJP also struck a different note saying a consensus choice will be ideal, contradicting Sushma Swaraj's strident note in favour of a contest and opposing a Congress nominee.
Though no names are likely to be finalised any time soon, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav made a significant statement saying the next President should not be on the basis of whether he belongs to backward, scheduled caste or minorities.
On his part, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who appeared to be emerging as a front runner in the Presidential race. Today dismissed media reports in this regard as speculation.
West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, who has been demanding a debt moratorium for her state, today said, "our options are all open".
"No names of candidates have come up so far. There is time. This is only first week of May. The election is in July. Two months time is left. If there is any talk, they will let us know and we will give them our opinion," she said.
To a pointed question about Mukherjee, who could be the first Bengali to become president, she said," I am supporting myself."
Banerjee, who met Congress President Sonia Gandhi yesterday and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told reporters that no names has been discussed so far with her party.
"This is only first week of May. Let them make up their mind and come for discussion," she said.
Asked about the future course of action to be taken by her on the issue of debt moratorium, Bannerjee said "I will do politically whatever is possible for my state."
When pointed out that there was a problem in granting moratorium on loan repayment, Banerjee said, "what is digestible to me is not digestible to the Finance Minister.... Whatever will be done, I will wait for few days."
She had yesterday had an hour-long meeting with Yadav at his residence.
UPA ally Ajit Singh today said," there is no doubt about Pranab Mukherjee's abilities and the fact that he deserves this post. There are no two ways about it. Everyone is in favour of it."
Echoing similar views, sources in NCP also said that they prefer Mukherjee.
"Pranab Mukherjee suits us more," a NCP leader said on condition of anonymity.
Sources in SP had also said that Mukherjee would be their liking as he is the "most apt" candidate for the job. Banerjee has already said that there will be a joint decision with the SP.
An indication of the churning within the Congress over the issue was also given by senior party leader Satyavrat Chaturvedi.
"There is no problem at all. There are many talented persons in the party and there is no dearth of talent in the organisation," was his response when asked whether it was possible to spare Mukherjee, the party's chief troubleshooter, for the Presidency.
BJP, which earlier categorically rejected the names of both Mukherjee and Hamid Ansari, today spoke a different language with party leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi saying there should be a consensus on the candidate.
Snubbing BJP leader Sushma Swaraj's earlier remarks against Ansari and Mukherjee NDA ally JD-U had gone on record praising the candidature of both yesterday.
Naqvi today said there should be a consensus on the Presidential candidate which will enhance the dignity of Rashtrapati Bhawan adding "arriving at a consensus will be an ideal situation..."
"There are no names. UPA should first announce names for Presidential candidate formally and then only we will discuss," was his refrain when asked whether BJP will support the Congress candidate..
The Left parties today met formally for the first time and had preliminary discussions on the issue. "It would be better if there is a wide agreement on a candidate for the post of President," a statement issued after the meeting said.
The parties decided to consult with other secular opposition parties before taking a final stand in the matter.
Sources, however, indicated that SP's view for a political person for the President has the Left endorsement.
The Left parties have indicated that there are not averse to either Mukherjee or Ansari as a Presidential candidate. Ansari was their choice five years ago for Vice Presidentship.
"President is essentially a political person. I do not think non-political persons are Presidents in any country," a senior party leader said.
Asked about Mukherjee's candidature, he said,"we have not zeroed in on any particular name as of now. Do not try to impose any name on us."
New Delhi: More UPA allies on Friday favoured Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee as candidate for Presidentship while key constituent Trinamool Congress kept the Congress guessing appearing to link the issue to a financial package for West Bengal.

Moving has been motivating. And maybe the fact that I don’t have a job right now helps. That aspect has been such a blessing so that I can really get settled and “nest.” If you don’t know the situation, I am finishing up my Master’s degree in Nursing to be a Family Nurse Practitioner. I will be done at the end of the summer, but my hubs and I just moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas from central Texas and so I left my previous job. Because of where I am at in my program and the requirements this summer, there is no way I can work in one state and finish my clinicals in another. So, I am a full-time wife, puppy mommy, and homemaker. For a month.
I’m enjoying every minute of it.
So our dresser in our bedroom is big, and we have had since before we got married (three years Wednesday!) and we got it at a garage sale. It’s in fabulous condition and has a lot of detail. Did I mention it’s big? So although I have wanted to paint it for a while, there was no moving it to the garage. Until we actually moved everything we own.
So I told the hubs to just leave it in the garage and I will paint it, asap. No problem.
I decided on ASCP Old White, because it’s timeless. Our bedding has grey, mint, purple, and some blue in it so white would be the easiest color to coordinate with, in addition to my plans for the wall color for the future.
I started with the drawers and applied a generous coat of Old White. I hate to sound proud, but y’all, I am getting better at this chalk paint. Maybe I am just slow, but I am learning the shortcuts. A generous coat of one of the colors that doesn’t cover as well (as Duck Egg) can make it so much easier, if you are going to distress. If you want full coverage, that’s a different story. But for most of what I do, there is not need to apply all kinds of paint to just rub it off!
Back to the drawers. I’m going to be honest with you. Somehow, the paint got dirty. Did I mention in my post about painting the hutch that this happened? What causes it is that there is dirt (duh) like dust on the furniture that was not removed. Like in the tiny corners that are hard to clean. So when I painted with white paint, sections of it came out with a brown tint. Yuck. I thought this might happen again this time so I (tried) to clean it really well before I started to paint.
Apparently it didn’t matter. But you know what? Distressing can heal a multiple of sins.
I went back and read this wet distressing post I had seen before and used for this console table (but it didn’t work on this end table) and my suspicions were affirmed, you must do it soon after the paint is dried- don’t wait overnight. I used a kitchen sponge as she suggested (with the hard scrubby side), got it wet (more than damp), and first wiped over the paint (concentrating on the dirty areas) with the soft side. This softens the paint. I even rub the sponge over a whole drawer or side of the dresser first and then work on each section to start the softening process. Next, use the rough scrubby side to distress. You should see the paint come off very easily. Which was awesome in my case. I was able to scrub away the dirty paint!
Look at how much better the corner looks!
If you were to look realllllly close, you could see where I couldn’t get the sponge and there is still dirt. But I don’t think in reality you will be able to tell. If you are looking that close, well, I’ll give you a prize.
So I did some pretty heavy distressing all over the dresser to show off the details of the wood and the deep color. And let me tell you, I. LOVE. DISTRESSING. THIS. WAY. It is sooo much easier and makes no mess. You have to go rinse off the sponge periodically, but no saw dust everywhere, no buying endless sanding sponges. And the paint comes off beautifully.
I decided not to change the hardware at this point for a few reasons. 1. It is already dark, pretty, and in good condition. 2. There is a lot of hardware and would be pricey to replace. 3. We really need the dresser back in our bedroom. You know, to put clothes in. Changing hardware out is something that can be done no problem once it is in our room.
I waxed it all up and moved her (with help obviously) on back to our room. We had missed her.
She’s back and we are in love. Don’t ever leave again, ok?
Massive, right? Look at all that storage!
This fabulous old suitcase serves as our tv platform for our lil’ baby tv.
Like my jewelry corner? The cheese grater is an awesome way to hang dangly earrings! And the cute silver dish was an awesome thrift store score!
Look who decided to photobomb for some lovin’ during my photoshoot! I can’t be mad when they are just so cute.
Don’t you love this old fan? I found it for a steal at an antique store here in Fort Smith when we just came to check out the city. It works and is lovely. I love how the paint is so bright still.
I’m so pleased with how she turned out. Plus, we were able to finally get all of our clothes put away! No more digging through boxes for a shirt!
Funny little piece of info about this dresser- I just discovered that it is a Drexel! Good stuff. When the hubs turned it around for me to paint I was like, “what?!” We will be keeping her for a long time. No wonder she is so pretty, someone paid a pretty penny for her at one time.
She’s all dressed up now. What do you think?
I updated the Store page of the site today! There are currently two pieces for sale: the French Linen End Table and Striped Dresser. Check it out! I would love for these to find a new home. Or, I’d love to work with you to make something custom for your home. | <urn:uuid:b57c0583-97f0-4c2c-8e58-f78af06c804f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://allthingsnewinteriors.com/ | 2013-05-22T14:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969718 | 1,416 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Chant of the Earth [Tools of Oneness] (MP3 Download)
Tools of Oneness
Sung by Almine
For a Limited Time Only!
"The Earth Chants tell the story of the Cosmic Child and how she was captured within a cage. The cage is the spider web. And how her mother comes into the cage to try and find her daughter and bring her home. And finally how the mother leaves the cage and the daughter finds her way home.
There is this epic tale of the Cosmic Child that is described in the Earth Chants, of which there is only 72 hours, and we’ve been bringing them in as you’ve ordered them for yourself. When they’re done, they’re done; then there’s no more. So it’s like buying a piece of real estate. I mean you own a piece of that chant that influences your life. What does it influence? Spirit.
The chant of the Cosmic Child, the Earth Chant, the ancient history released from the rocks of the earth is what you’re hearing. And that chant clears psychic impressions, which are electrically formed impressions that are ghostlike within the spirit of every being.
And, why are they there? Because they are trying to get us to remember the story the way it really was. And they’re trying to get us to know how this can be resolved. And so this story of the chant of the Cosmic Child releases the need for these old, old pieces of story that have become distorted, to be released from Spirit."
~Almine (Extract from "Down the Rabbit Hole", Episode 10)
During the 2011 Angelic Christmas Retreat held in her home, Almine began to hear a 3 day sacred chant emanating directly from the Earth. This chant balances the masculine and feminine to bring oneness to the inner conflict of opposites.
This 72 hour chant is being recorded 3 minutes at a time. You can order multiple portions for yourself or for others.
The Chant of the Earth prepares us to leave duality and enter the reality of no opposites by creating inner androgyny.
Act now! The Chant of the Earth is only 3 days long in total, so once Almine has recorded 72 hours of chants, this product will no longer be available.
“The Earth Chant I received is quite amazing to say the least, when I settled down to listen to it that evening I put the repeat on. First 20 minutes I was paying attention to my feelings when all of a sudden I began to smell minerals not knowing at the time that Almine was singing in the language of the Mineral Kingdom. These smells must have been coming up from the Earth as I was listening. I don't know what transpired after that, one hour and 15 minutes had gone by according to time. I can not account for this time or even where I was, I must say that the wait was certainly worth it. Many other grand blessing's as I continue to use it..."
Thanks so much to all of you at team Almine..... Much love with many blessing's“
~Wendy, Alberta, Canada
Your portion of the Chant of the Earth will be emailed to you as an MP3 file. It will be looped to form a 12-minute meditation. This product is not available as an audio CD.
Here you can listen to a 33 minute interview regarding the miraculous recording of the Earth Chants. Highly recommended listening!
The Earth Chant Ceremony is a separate product from the Earth Chants themselves. Once you have your own part of the story of the Earth in the form of a chant, you are eligible to join the ceremony. The next step is to buy the entree to the ceremony so you can hear all 1439 other chants in this massive 72 hour event.
You can find the Earth Chant Ceremony product page here.
Orders may require up to 3-4 weeks, especially when Almine is traveling and is unable to work in the sound studio.We appreciate your patience.

More and more, investors have learned to love indexing. The Vanguard Group's S&P 500 Index Fund, at $78 billion, is now the nation's second-largest mutual fund, behind only Fidelity Magellan ($83.6 billion). Fidelity Magellan outgunned it last year, gaining 33.6 percent to Vanguard's 28.6 percent. But over two, three and five years, the Vanguard 500 beat all the giant funds, Magellan included. An index fund mimics a particular market index. There's no fancy manager or research... | <urn:uuid:539084ef-8c84-4cf6-9705-75944aa45b9a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/keyword/index-funds | 2013-05-22T14:40:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.894198 | 120 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Gustavus Adolphus College is hosting the Wilson/ITA Midwest Regional Championship at the Swanson Indoor Tennis Center and the Brown Outdoor Courts. The Women’s Division III Midwest Region Championships will take place Friday, September 19 through Sunday, September 21.
The Wilson/ITA Women’s Division III Championships at Gustavus will feature 20 of the top schools in the region. The singles and doubles champions from this weekend’s tournament advance to the Oct. 16-19 Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Small College Championships at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Alabama.
Seventy of the top singles and doubles players in the Midwest will take part in the tournament which will begin with singles matches on Friday morning at 9 am. Jordan Hook of Wheaton College is the #1 seed in the singles draw. Other seeds include second seeded Molly Fiala of Coe, third seeded Hannah Jensen of Coe, and fourth seeded Kalla Schaefer of UW-Whitewater. The doubles competition will begin on Friday immediately after the completion of the second round of singles play. Megan Gaard and Samantha Frank of Gustavus are the #1 seeded doubles team. Other seeds include the second seeded team of Kalla Schaefer and Amy Siemon of UW-Whitewater, the third seeded team of Molly Fiala and Andrea Schupach of Coe, and the fourth seeded team of Jordan Hook and Elizabeth Worsowicz of Wheaton. The Swanson Indoor Tennis Center, located on the west edge of the Gustavus campus, will serve as headquarters for the Wilson/ITA Midwest Region Championships, with matches taking place at Swanson and the adjacent Brown Outdoor Courts.
The ITA National Small College Championships began in 1986 and annually crowns men’s and women’s singles and doubles national champions in each of the ITA’s four small college divisions (NCAA Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior/Community College). These championships are the only national tournaments for singles and doubles at the NCAA Division II and NAIA level, and the only tournaments that combine all levels of Junior/Community Colleges (NJCAA Divisions I-III, and California Community Colleges). Participants are determined through these Wilson/ITA Regional Championships, which serve as qualifying tournaments. The national champions from each division square off in the “Super Bowl” of Small College Tennis to determine the overall ITA National Small College Champions (who then earn berths into the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, a Division I event, in November).
As the governing body of collegiate tennis, the ITA promotes both the athletic and academic achievements of the collegiate tennis community. The ITA, which was founded in 1956 and is based in Skillman, N.J., administers numerous regional and national championships, the ITA Collegiate Summer Circuit, presented by the USTA, and the ITA Rankings for men’s and women’s tennis at the NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA and Junior College levels. The ITA also has a comprehensive awards program for players and coaches to honor excellence in academics, leadership and sportsmanship. The official ITA website is www.itatennis.com. | <urn:uuid:f05553d5-1269-463c-a519-00338e12813e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/2008/09/18/womens-tennis-set-to-host-wilsonita-midwest-regional-this-weekend/ | 2013-05-22T14:46:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938168 | 668 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
She came in with a gown and said "Pants and bra off please!" Uhhhhhhh oops if I'd known that i wouldn't have worn my sexy black lace thong, but ya win some ya lose some. Also might have thought about shaving my legs...thank goodness the x-ray room is nice and dark! I rolled myself up onto the cold metal table and let the tech position me. "Any chance you are pregnant?" "Hell no." "Good answer!"
She only had to take 2 pics total, one of me laying flat and one of me on my side "hold your arms like you are praying to God" she says. I like her. When I got back into the room my doctor said, "These are beautiful pictures! The tech said it was easy because you are so thin." WHAT?? I hadn't heard those words in a long time. I look WICKED skinny in an x-ray! Even after eating a bowl of cookie dough for lunch and some birthday cake and ice cream last night for my son's birthday!
Why did I eat those things? As I wrote on a friend's note about weight loss trials and tribulations: You should ALWAYS eat that which you crave, even if its something nasty like cookie dough or peanut butter microwave s'mores. That way you don't go eating healthy things like cheese, eggs, yogurt, and toast trying to fill that hole that is growling at you, and then eating a giant bag of M&M's on top of it because that's what you REALLY wanted in the first place! You save a ton of calories by just giving in and getting it over with.
PB&F on double fiber multigrain bread and my vitamins, crying.
And I always save my vitamin downing for those times that I'm eating something horribly bad for me in hopes of at least making it a vitamin-rich pile of sugary fatty goo.
In conclusion my spine is indeed curved pretty bad to the left, which is what is causing this horrible pain. So, I will be doing PT next week and probably for 6 weeks after to try to cope with it. Maybe I can finally get some alone time! | <urn:uuid:8f6af9eb-080a-4177-82b3-c77af2383af0> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://balanceballdiaries.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html | 2013-05-22T14:45:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974164 | 450 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Does anyone know of a reputable website that sells a wide range of used and second hand bike parts and components?
I'm helping a friend rebuild an older commuter bike and we are having trouble finding compatible components. There are a couple of local shops that carry used parts, but not having any luck there so far. I know of an Ebay seller that sells used ski equipment; I'm wondering if, likewise, there is a website for used bike parts. I'm basically looking for a larger inventory than my local area. | <urn:uuid:c60e45e1-e1da-4740-9754-71170d130236> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/2292/where-can-i-buy-a-wide-range-of-used-bike-parts-online?answertab=oldest | 2013-05-22T14:39:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944616 | 105 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
As expected, the House and the Senate have agreed on legislation for expanded gambling and have reported it out from committee and have made it available to the public in an action taken Tuesday by House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray.
Governor Deval Patrick said he approved of the legislation and gave it his conditional OK.
“We support this bill and believe that it provides a strongly regulated and commercially desirable framework for establishing a gaming industry in Massachusetts,” said DeLeo and Murray in a joint statement. “Expanded gaming will create thousands of construction and service jobs and support our on-going efforts to create and retain jobs in the Commonwealth. Further, it will serve as a source of new revenue for Massachusetts and help our economy grow.
“We urge the public to carefully review the bill and look forward to the consideration of this bill in the Legislature in September.”
A few of the specifics enumerated in the 155-page bill include ballot question elections in potential casino host cities, Revere and East Boston, which is home to Suffolk Downs. The host communities will be reimbursed for the cost of the elections by the applicant for a casino license.
There will also be a host community impact fee.
As many as three licenses for casinos can be issued in three regions, which includes Suffolk County in Region 1.
Other conditions require Category 1 licensees where live racing is offered to continue live racing or face the suspension of the casino license.
It also appears that one Category 2 license allowing 1,250 slot machines will be granted. | <urn:uuid:fbee64d6-0609-4124-8a9d-c6b31806bfae> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://charlestownbridge.com/2011/08/25/triple-play-house-and-senate-report-out-on-gambling-bill-gov-patrick-offers-his-conditional-approval/ | 2013-05-22T14:46:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954845 | 322 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

All times local
Brian Dohn- Northeast Recruiting Analyst
Friday: DeWitt Clinton (Bronx) High at Tottenville High (Staten Island) at 7:00 p.m.
Tottenville, which is located on Staten Island, is home to three-star running back Augustus Edwards, who is committed to Syracuse. He has run 74 times for 627 yards and nine touchdowns. He was also considering Maryland and Virginia but opted to remain in his home state and play for the Orange.Tottenville also has 2013 receiver Malique Belfort, who has 26 catches for 433 yards and four touchdowns.
Kristen Kenney- Northeast Recruiting
Friday: Catholic at Greenbriar Christian at 7 p.m.
The top prospect here is junior standout wide receiver Jamil Kamara, a recent transfer to Bishop Sullivan Catholic. Kamara
has a plethora of offers, and most recently Michigan, Arkansas, Oregon have been
knocking on his door.
Sam Hellman- Northeast Recruiting
Friday: Paramus Catholic (N.J.) vs. Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) Friday at 7 p.m.
This matchups features a clash between four-star defensive end Alquadin Muhammad (Don Bosco) and 2014 four-star athlete Jabrill Peppers (Paramus Catholic). Muhammad is the No. 6 defensive end in the country with high interest in Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Rutgers and he leads defending national champions Don Bosco against Peppers, who left the program for Paramus Catholic in the offseason and has been very vocal about Friday night’s matchup. Peppers was recently made FOXSportsNEXT.com’s No. 18 prospect in the class of 2014 and he is the unquestioned top player in New Jersey. Peppers projects as a safety in college, but leads his team with 502 yards and nine touchdowns offensively. Bosco and P.C. feature a series of other names behind the two star recruits of Friday night’s game. For Don Bosco Prep, 2013 defensive lineman Razohnn Gross and 2014 quarterback Frank Nutile are both receiving Division I interest. Paramus Catholic has six 2014 prospects on the Division I radar, highlighted by Peppers, receiver Tyrone Washington and quarterback Steve Shanley.
Mike McAllister- CuseNation.com Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Syracuse (N.Y.) Henninger vs. Syracuse (N.Y.) West Genesee at 6 p.m.
2014 running back Naesean Howard of West Genesee High School has been
putting up huge numbers during his junior campaign. In six games, he has rushed
for 949 yards, 16 touchdowns, and is averaging a robust 8.7 yards per carry. The
5-foot-11, 190 pound back says he holds a Syracuse offer. We will be looking to
see how he stacks up with the other top backs in the region..
Chad Simmons- National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Byrnes (S.C.) at Gaffney (S.C.) at 7:30 p.m.
Byrnes enters this game 7-0 and Gaffney is 4-3, but the records may not reflect who has more Division 1 prospects at this time. Byrnes has a senior wide receiver Akia Booker, who is making big strides this season on and off the field and he may have the talent to play at a high level in college. Shuler Bentley is a junior quarterback at Byrnes and he knows the game, he is very accurate, and he is one to watch in the next class. Gaffney has Jaylin Miller, a senior defensive lineman who is having a big year and he is being recruited by top ACC/SEC schools among others. He has double-digit offers. Shaquille Davidson was moved to quarterback a week ago to get the ball in his hands more, but he is a Scout100 member in the 2014 class. He has big-time talent. 2014 running back Hyleck Foster and 2015 offensive tackle T.J. Hanie are two others to watch from Gaffney.
Jamie Newberg - National Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Hollywood (Fla.) Hollywood Hills @ Plantation (Fla.) South Plantation at 7:30 p.m.
South Plantation is led by five-star running back Alex Collins. Collins, who is now up to 207-pounds, has brought more size to his body, putting on close to 25-pounds since this time a year ago. He’s also faster and more explosive. Collins has been a long time commitment to Miami but visited Wisconsin last weekend and is scheduled to visit FSU this coming weekend. Cornerback athlete John Marvin is a talented player with a handful of offers from schools like Air Force, Bowling Green, FIU, Navy, Temple and Western Kentucky. Hollywood Hills is led by senior linebacker Griffin Goins. Goins, 6-foot-0 and 230-pounds, has scholarship offers from teams like Cincinnati and Florida Atlantic. They also have a massive offensive line recruit in junior Josh Deuyour, who is 6-foot-9 and 320-pounds. This kid has shed close to 100-pounds and is playing on the defensive front. Another 2014 prospect to keep an eye on is safety Jonnah Cunningham. Freshman receiver Darnell Solomon and sophomore offensive lineman Dusan Etiene are two younger guys that certainly have a D1 chance.
Friday: Tampa (Fla.) Catholic at St. Petersburg (Fla.) Northeast at 7:30 p.m.
This is a very good and very talented Tampa Catholic team led by senior Zach Benjamin and juniors Corey Martinez and T.J. Harrell. Benjamin, a.k.a 'Big Bird', is a very big outside wide receiver. He stands 6-foot-5 and 192 pounds and has scholarship offers from teams like Toledo, Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Western Kentucky, and others. Martinez and Harrell will be two of the top juniors from the Tampa Bay area next season in 2014. Martinez is an offensive tackle that has the versatility to play all the positions across the front. He has offers from teams like Miami, USF, Kentucky and Vandy, Meanwhile, Harrell is an outside linebacker/running back that has scholarship offers from teams like Florida, UCLA, Georgia, Michigan State, Purdue and others. Northeast is led by sophomore phenom quarterback Ryan Davis. His older brother [Chris] was one of the state’s top recruits in the Class of 2003 who played at FSU. The younger Davis already holds a scholarship from the Seminoles as well as Indiana and Arizona. There’s another brother connection for the Vikings with junior receiver Terio Fowler. He’s brother Dante is a freshman at Florida. Fowler is a transfer from St. Petersburg, Fla./Lakewood. Senior middle linebacker Auggie Sanchez is one of the more underrated recruits in the Tampa Bay area. Northeast is also blessed on the perimeter with speedy players like junior Keith Harrington, senior Jalin Hubbard and sophomore Sekendric Biddines.
Mike Bakas - Florida Recruiting Analyst
Friday: University School (Fla.) at Leesburg (Fla.) at 7 p.m.
University is loaded with prospects and is off to an excellent start this season. Their senior class is led by 3-star wide receiver Jordan Cunningham. At 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, Cunningham recently took his first visit to Oklahoma State. He plans to see Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Michigan as well. 4-star defensive tackle prospect Quay Bain (6-3/310) is playing offensive line now and has offers from schools like Oklahoma, LSU, and Michigan State. The one-time FSU commitment hasn’t taken any visits yet. 3-star WR prospect D.J. Taylor (6-0/175) has already visited Boston College and is set to see UCF this weekend. He’s also considering schools like Wake Forest and Nebraska. 3-star OLB prospect Skai Moore (6-3/210) lists a top four of Rutgers, UCF, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest and has offers from all three. Safety Jalen Battle (6-2/170) is committed to Kentucky; OLB Nick Internicola (6-3/220) is already committed to Rutgers; safety Wesley Smith (5-10/175) is already committed to Toledo. Another senior to watch is quarterback Mike White (6-5/195) who took an official visit to Oklahoma State two weekends ago. The junior class is led by defensive back Quincy Wilson (6-2/195) who claims offers from schools like Ohio State, Florida, Clemson, and Auburn. The sophomore class is led by running back Jordan Scarlett (5-11/195) who already claims offers from schools like Miami, Alabama, LSU, and Ohio State.
Atlantic Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Wilson (N.C.) Hunt vs. Bailey (N.C.) Southern Nash at 7:30 p.m.
This Big East showdown has huge conference and playoff implications. Hunt comes in 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference. The Warriors are led by senior defensive end/linebacker Lewis Neal (LSU commit) and senior running back Josh Joyner. Joyner has already rushed for over 1,300 yards and 19 touchdowns. The Warriors also feature talented junior safety Dexter Wright who is attracting early interest from several major college programs. Southern Nash is 7-1 overall and also 2-0 in the conference. The Firebirds are led by senior offensive lineman Cameron Gardner (Wake Forest commit) and senior running back Rashid Campbell (over 900 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns). Southern Nash also has veteran junior quarterback Deon Lavender.
John Garcia Jr. - Southeast Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Hayden (Ala.) at Morris (Ala.) Mortimer Jordan at 7:00 p.m.
Hayden has a few intriguing players looking for their initial offer in 2014
prospects Tyler Swindle on the offensive line and Damon Brown on the other side
but all eyes will be on Devlin Hodges. Mortimer Jordan's junior quarterback has
several SEC schools interested after attending a handful of camps this summer
coupled with the early game film he has provided. The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder has
received the most interest from Alabama of late, attending each of the Crimson
Tide's last two home games. Vanderbilt and Mississippi State may also receive
an unofficial visit from the efficient signal-caller in the near future, but not
before we check him out in person.
Steve Robertson - Southeast Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Broadmoor (La.) at Tara (La.) at 7:00 p.m.
The annual Battle of Goodwood brings together two of Baton Rouge's longest standing rivals. Broadmoor will look to take another step in the district race thanks in large part to the play of junior quarterback Ryan Sibley. Sibley has taken all over full time as the starter behind center and the Buccanner offense has benefitted greatly.
Friday: St. Martin (Miss.) at Biloxi (Miss.) at 7:00 p.m.
Biloxi has two of their last three games by just one point. The Indians will look to get back on track this week against St. Martin. BHS is led by perhaps Mississippi's top receiving duo with Mississippi State commitment Scott Austin and South Alabama pledge Tevaris McCormick. Senior quarterback Jaylen Woullard is really beginning to come into his own and will be a name of interest in the post season.

Friday: Ackerman (Miss.) at Eupora (Miss.) at 7:00 p.m.
The Battle of highway 9 bowl is always a heated an intense ball game between the two heated rivals. The two small schools located on highway 9 are only 18 miles apart and the winner will be in position to earn the top seed in Region 2(2A). The Indians’ top prospect is Quinton Lane. The 6’ 2”, 180-pound two-way player has 340 receiving yards on the season and holds an offer from Ole Miss. Junior quarterback Dakota Brasher has close to 900 passing yards on the season. Eupora’s
top player is Ole Miss commit Derrick Jones. The 6’ 2” receiver has over
40 catches and 700 yards for the season.

Friday: Miami (Fla.) Jackson at Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington at 7:00 p.m.
To say Booker T. is loaded with Division I talent would be an understatement. The Hurricanes bring a stellar defense lead by five-star outside linebacker Matthew Thomas. Thomas has every offer in the book and seems particularly interest in Florida State, Alabama, USC, Miami, Florida, and Georgia. Junior defensive end Chad Thomas will be a top prospect in the 2014 class. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound athlete already has offers from Florida State, Miami, Texas A&M, and more. Junior Treon Harris plays both quarterback and cornerback for the Hurricanes but look to see him be recruited mainly at corner. Harris has early offers form Miami, South Florida, Florida State, and more. Juniors Krondis Larry and Lamar Parker provide plenty of spark to the offense. Wide receiver Parker has a handful of offers including Florida State, Texas A&M, and West Virginia. Jackson 2014 quarterback Quinton Flowers will be a name to remember in the class. FOX Sports NEXT recruiting analyst Geoff Vogt describes Flowers as a "QB that is sensational with the ball in his hands. 6'0. Might switch to another position in college."

Friday: Peach County (Ga.) at Jackson (Ga.) at 7 p.m.
Peach County heads to Jackson on Friday boasting one of the top receivers in the nation in Demarcus Robinson. Robinson is currently committed to Clemson, but has expressed an interest in making other official visits this fall. Robinson holds offers from major SEC programs in Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee, along with offers outside the southeast in Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Peach County also houses promising talent in the class of 2014 in Chavis
Dickey. Jackson is home to four-star defensive tackle Jay Woods, who recently
committed to Vanderbilt. At the time of his commitment, Woods was uninterested
in hearing other offers or taking outside visits. Woods' teammate, Justin Akins,
is a three-star defensive end who committed to Georgia Tech this summer.

Friday: East Lee at Vero Beach at 7 p.m.
Allen Trieu - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Toledo (Ohio) St. Johns Jesuit at Toledo (Ohio) Central Catholic at 7 p.m.
Talent abound on this field. In the senior class, Jesuit features Wisconsin commit Matt Miller on the offensive line, Pittsburgh commit Tony Harper at safety, and Eastern Michigan commit Brogan Roback at quarterback. Central Catholic has Ohio State commit Jayme Thompson at safety, but he will also play offense. Nebraska commit Keith Towbridge lines up at tight end for CC, and we will also get to see one of the state's top juniors in quarterback Deshone Kizer.
Bill Greene - Ohio Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Cleveland (Ohio) Heights at Warren Harding (Ohio) at 7:00 p.m.
Four-star senior wide receiver Shelton Gibson will lead Heights alongside two-way teammate senior De'Niro Laster. Both players hold multiple offers, with Gibson listing Auburn and Ohio State on top. Harding features two committed seniors in safety Jalen Powell (Michigan State) and tailback LeShun Daniels (Boston College).
Saturday: Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier at Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward at 2 p.m.
St. Xavier is led by senior wide receiver Trey Kilgore, and the Michigan State commit has battled injuries this season. Junior quarterback Nick Tensing is a potential BCS recruit, and a threat both passing and running the football. Junior tailback E.J. Hilliard holds an Indiana offer. St. Edward senior wide receiver Anthony Young is having a fine season, and the Indiana commit is a three-star prospect. Three-star safety Solomon Warfield (Iowa commit) keys the St. Edward defense.
Dave Berk - Ohio Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Dayton (Ohio) Thurgood Marshall at Dayton (Ohio) Belmont at 7:00 p.m.
This game is about watching a few players we saw prior to the season from Thurgood Marshall. Senior Gerry Green has major talent but needs to continue working in the classroom. At 6-foot-5, 275-pounds, Green plays tight end but projects into a top tackle. Senior running back Denzel Norvell is one of the more exciting players in the state with his great speed and quick cuts. Juniors Vayante Copeland and D’Angelo Martin have major talent. Copeland (5-11,180) plays on both sides of the ball while Martin (6-1, 170) has the frame coaches look for from a safety. Both players should receive early interest.

Friday: Eastmoor Academy (Ohio) at Walnut Ridge (Ohio) at 7:30 pm
Walnut Ridge is coming off of a 26-7 win over West Columbus. Senior Wisconsin commit Rob Wheelwright has been leading the way. Aside from the wide receiver, they also have junior defensive end Robert Bowers, who holds an offer from Cincinnati and senior cornerback Malik Robinson. For Eastmoor Academy they will look at senior athlete Davion Barrow (offer from Toledo) to lead the way. Sophomore defensive back Christopher Allen-Spiller (hearing from Indiana and Cincinnati), has proven to be a player to watch.
Greg Powers - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Olathe (Kan.) South at Gardner-Edgerton (Kan.) at 7:00 p.m.
This week it is off to the Sunflower State to see a couple of the top prospects in the Class of 2014 take on one another. Olathe South is home to Braden Smith the No. 11 overall junior in the country according to the Scout.com rankings. The big 6-foot-6, 285-pound two-way lineman is in the hunt to be considered as the top overall prospect in the country. Gardner-Edgerton will feature running back Traevohn Wrench. The 6-foot-0, 190-pounder is a Scout300 selection with size and speed.
Ahmard Vital - Midlands Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Houston (Texas) Stratford at Missouri City (Texas) Marshall at 7:00 p.m.
This game features a ton of offensive linemen who will be on the big stage and on Division I rosters next season. For Stratford, three-star lineman Christian Daimler, an Arizona State commit, will be doing his thing. For Marshall, Maurice Porter and Darius Moore are playing with each other now, but will be rivals on the next level with them going to Texas Tech and Baylor respectively. These two will be trying to create the opportunities for JW Ketchum, a player we are seeking to get a closer look at after seeing his eye-popping statistical numbers. On the defensive side, whom some say is the No. 1 defensive player in the state, Deon Hollins will be featured. The edge rusher/outside linebacker is headed to UCLA.
Friday: Humble (Texas) Summer Creek at Kingwood (Texas) Park High at 7:00 p.m.
So far, the Summer Creek team has been running through all of its competition in a dominating fashion. This could be largely because of the play of 2014 quarterback Aaron Sharp, a player who has already caught the attention of plenty Division I programs (holds offer from UTEP too). Out of the backfield, Jordan Braden, another junior, will be making it happen as well. He is getting some looks from top programs.
Brandon Huffman - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline at Bellevue (Wash.) Newport at 7:00 p.m.
In one of the few matchups in Washington this year of two FBS quarterbacks,
Newport will host Skyline in a key KingCo game. Skyline is unbeaten and
ranked 31st nationally by FOX Sports NEXT this week, and they're led by the
nation's premier quarterback, Max Browne, the five-star who's headed to USC.
Browne's favorite target is Nic Sblendorio, one of the biggest playmakers in the
Northwest. Defensively, the Spartans are paced by linebacker Peyton
Pelluer, a commit to Washington State. Newport has an FBS commit of their
own in Isaac Dotson, a top 100 quarterback nationally who's committed to Nevada.
He's joined by a pair of underclassmen, 2014 tight end Drew Sample and 2015
defensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton.
Greg Biggins - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Gardena (Calif.) Serra at Los Angeles (Calif.) Cathedral at 7:00 p.m.
Serra has some of the top underclass talent in the state headlined by elite junior corner Adoree Jackson. Jackson was rated the No. 34 player in the nation in the 2014 Scout 300 and holds offers from Colorado, Nebraska, Northwestern, SMU, UCLA, Utah, and Washington. Fellow junior Dwight Williams was rated the No. 167 player in the Scout 300 and is one of the state's top linebackers. Colorado and UCLA have both offered. Junior quarterback Jalen Greene has been impressive this year and has a chance to be one of the state's top dual threat signal callers next fall. Speaking of quarterbacks, few can sling it like Cathedrals Hayden Rettig. The LSU commit has an absolute cannon and could be the best pure thrower in the state. Wide out Damari Scott is a physical receiver with speed and claims offers from Boston College, Colorado State, Fresno State, Nevada and San Diego State. Two-way athlete Torry McTyer
can play receiver or corner in college and just landed an offer from California
a week ago.
Scott Kennedy- Director of Scouting
FOX Sports West features four games per week streamed live on the internet with broadcasters and color analysts, and multi-angle cameras. This week Prepzone Live will feature host Kevin Barnett and Director of Scouting Scott Kennedy, highlighting the action from each of the four games as well as other news and notes across the Southland. Here is a look at this week's action on FOX Sports West's Prepzone.
Friday: Mission Viejo (Calif.) at San Clemente (Calif.) at 7 p.m.
This is the South Coast League opener for Mission Viejo who has cruised through its early schedule without breaking much of a sweat. San Clemente has come back to the pack this year after losing so much talent from last year's squad, but they're still a quality opponent. Mission Viejo's big name is still USC commitment Max Redfield. Redfield plays receiver and safety for the Diablos and is capable of making game changing plays on either side of the ball. UCLA commitment Erik Bunte joined the flood of Orange County players to transfer to Mission Viejo this year, and this will be our first look at the big offensive tackle in his new digs. Quarterback Ian Fieber and running back Alex Suchesk are two more transfers who have made a big impact for Mission Viejo. The will likely be college prospects in the Class of 2014. San Clemente has lost three in a row after getting off to a 4-0 start. Offensive tackle Sean Harlow is one of the few remaining impact players from the 2011 squad. He is committed to the Washington Huskies.
Encino (Calif.) Crespi at Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame at 7 p.m.
Crespi made its debut on Prepzone last week with an impressive 20-7 win over Loyola. Notre Dame has been on the Prepzone three times... all of them hard fought losses. Crespi's top college prospect is safety Tyler Foreman who appears to be choosing between Oklahoma and UCLA. Foreman will get challenged more against Notre Dame's passing offense than he was against Loyola's ground game. Linebacker Ray Davison lines up at linebacker and has a Top 2 schools of Boise State and Iowa State. Safety Brandon Arnold has a host of offers and should choose between Cal and Michigan State. Notre Dame has a home run threat at running back in track star Khalfani Muhammad. Muhammad ran like a different back last week against Alemany rushing for over 200 yards and four touchdowns. Muhammad showed instincts and balance that had been lacking in earlier Prepzone games and appears to be growing into a football player, rather than just a track guy playing football. Quarterback Kelly Hilinski also has shown improvement avoiding the rush and keeping his eyes downfield.
Rialto (Calif.) Carter at Rialto (Calif.) at 7 p.m.
Carter features one of the nation's best defensive tackles in UCLA commitment Kenneth Clark. At 6'2/295 Clark took some reps playing middle linebacker at 7v7s last summer, and he was athletic enough to be comfortable there. He's more than Rialto will be able to handle.
La Canada (Calif.) St. Francis at North Hollywood (Calif.) Harvard-Westlake at 7
Harvard-Westlake has reeled off five wins in a row after losing its opener to Loyola. St. Francis has three losses by an average of four points. Harvard-Westlake is led by Vanderbilt commitment Chad Kanoff at quarterback. Kanoff is a heady, accurate passer who runs the show from the line of scrimmage. Helping to clear the way for him is offensive lineman Thomas Oser who has offers from the likes of Colorado, Oregon, and Vanderbilt among others. St. Francis has a good quarterback in its own right in senior Jared Lebowitz. Lebowitz is averaging over 250 yards per game and has an impressive 14-3 TD to INT ratio.
Jason Jewell, Southwest Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Scottsdale (Ariz.) Notre Dame Prep at Cave Creek (Ariz.) Cactus
Shadows at 7 p.m.
Notre Dame has had one of the state's toughest schedules thus far and are
sitting at a 3-4 record. But there is plenty of talent on the roster. Arizona
State commit Grant Martinez is one of the state's top tight ends. Linebacker
Luke Taffuri is having a stellar year roaming the middle and OLB Duncan Morfitt
has multiple academy offers. DE Parker Zellers is having an all-state season and
junior safety Jordan Schlueter already has an offer from Colorado State.
Cactus Shadows has a dangerous passing attack and QB Bryce Kinsler has already
passed for 600 yards in a single game this year.
Friday: Goodyear (Ariz.) Desert Edge @ Peoria (Ariz.) Liberty at 7 p.m.
Two undefeated teams in the division-three ranks and both have talent.
Liberty is lead by QB Tyler Rogers. Surprisingly only Air Force and South Dakota
State have offered by he is on Utah and Utah State's radar as well. Desert
Edge is led by RB/DB Kyle Woolard and junior OLB/WR Ismael Murphy-Richardson.
Neither have offers yet but both have FBS skills.
Northwest Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Spanaway Lake (Wash.) High vs. Federal Way (Wash.) High at 7:00 p.m.
The Federal Way roster is filled with college level talent and should win easily Thirsday night. The top prospect in the game might be 2015 running back Chico McClatcher, who landed an offer from Washington last weekend. McClatcher is on the smaller side, but has enough athleticism and playmaking ability to cover it up. Wide receiver Mike Tate is the top senior prospect and holds offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana, Portland State and Wyoming. Federal Way (Wash.) Cornerback D’Londo Tucker has offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho and Portland State and is one of the best cover corners in the state. Linebacker Albert Havili might be one of the top high school defenders in the state and is finally starting to get recruiting attention. He recently picked up offers from Eastern Washington and Montana State. Brothers Ezekiel McNeal and Jeremiah McNeal will also be worth keeping an eye on.
Friday: Bellevue (Wash.) High vs. Snoqualmie (Wash.) Mount Si at 7:00 p.m.
This may be a matchup of the top two 3A teams in the state of Washington. Both come in unbeaten and while one will get a loss, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them face off again in the state playoffs. Bellevue is loaded with talent, starting with UCLA commit and four-star outside linebacker Myles Jack. 2014 athlete Budda Baker is the top ranked player in his class in the Northwest region and already boasts a double digit offer list. Washington commit and MLB Sean Constantine is a constant performer in the heart of the defense. Bellevue also has a list of players like outside linebacker Michael Carlson, defensive tackle Darien Freeman and Reuben Mwehla (Idaho commit) that are garnering college attention. Mount Si has an impressive list of their own. Kicker Cameron Van Winkle is committed to Washington and has a good case to go down as the best prep kicker in state history. 2014 quarterback Nick Mitchell is the younger brother of lineman Josh Mitchell who is currently playing for Oregon State. Mitchell has a very good shot at following his brother into the college ranks. Safety Hunter Malberg is one of the most underrated players in the state of Washington and is a likely source for some big plays Friday night. Tight end Griffin McLain is still waiting for his first offer, but has college size.
Kevin Carden, West Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Encino (Calif.) Crespi at Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame at 7 p.m.
Crespi vs. Notre Dame, one of the best rivalry games in Southern California, will once again feature several big-time college prospects on both sides of the ball. Speedy tailback Khalfni Muhammad, who is coming off a four touchdown performance last week, three-star quarterback Kelly Hilinski and 2014 WR/DB Koa Farmer will face a stiff challenge from Crespi’s star-studded defense. The Celts defense is led by four-star safety Tyler Foreman, who is one of the most physical defensive backs in the region and has double-digit scholarship offers. Fellow safety Brandon Arnold is another highly sought after recruit and has serious interest in Cal and Michigan State. Defensive end Ray Davison should also have a big impact on Friday as well. On the offensive side of the ball, keep an eye on Crespi wide receiver Jabrian Blackwell and 2015 tailback Okalani Langi.
Inna Lazarev, West Field Reporter
Friday: Glendale (Ariz.) Independence at Peoria (Ariz.) Centennial at 7:00 p.m.
Centennial (6-1) is stacked. This team is very strong on the offensive line, which features offensive tackle Hayden Johnson (Air Force, Idaho, South Dakota State offers), offensive guard Spencer Nathe (Air Force offer), and junior offensive tackles Kamryn Bennett, and Layth Friekh, who received his first three offers (from Oregon State, Utah, and Arizona) last Friday. The Coyotes boast two Pac-12 commitments, in UCLA running back commit, Jalen Ortiz, and Washington defensive end commit, Marcus Farria. Other players to watch on this squad are: quarterback Tre Grant, wide receiver Shawn Poindexter, defensive end Sam Ray, linebacker Wes Westbrook, long snapper Reed Buce, and junior wide receivers Darius Aguirre and Keesean Green.
Annabel Stephan, West Field Reporter
Thursday: Pomona (Calif.) Garey at Ontario (Calif.) Colony at 7 p.m.
The most highly-touted player in Thursday night's match up is Colony receiver Samajie Grant, who committed to Arizona at the end of June, telling Scout.com “It’s where I wanted to go, so I figured there was no point in waiting.” Grant also held offers from UCLA, Utah, Washington State, and San Diego State. Colony lost both their starting and back up quarterbacks due to transfer earlier this season, so Grant has stepped up as the team's signal caller. Though Colony sits at 4-3 as they enter Week 8 of the season, the Titans are still undefeated in league play (Mt. Baldy League) and have a good chance of continuing that undefeated streak versus Garey. | <urn:uuid:e03277c6-a633-4aa1-900b-19e6f6c7e8a8> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cincinnati.scout.com/2/1228947.html | 2013-05-22T14:46:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951414 | 6,998 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Collingswood Resident Wants to Dim Light Pollution
Collingswood resident Suzanne Cloud thinks the borough should consider a 'light trespass' ordinance to control luminous pollution.
When she goes outside at night, Collingswood resident Suzanne Cloud looks up at the sky and is disappointed.
"Maybe you can see Orion, and maybe you can see The Big Dipper, but you probably can’t see the Pleiades, and you probably can’t see Beetlejuice," she says, "because it’s just too bright."
As a child, Cloud beheld the arc of the Milky Way in the darkness over Pennsauken. Nowadays, she said, a hazy flood of lights from businesses, shopping centers and overanxious security timers spills out.
"We’re competing with Philadelphia, that’s to be sure, but we’re also creating our own pollution," Cloud said.
At the December 2012 meeting of the borough commissioners, Cloud spoke up to invite Collingswood leaders to consider a "light trespass law," citing the International Dark-Sky Association as a likely source for language.
The ominously named agency advocates for communities to redirect their man-made lighting and to use less of it:
Human-produced light pollution not only mars our view of the stars; poor lighting threatens astronomy, disrupts ecosystems, affects human circadian rhythms, and wastes energy to the tune of $2.2 billion per year in the U.S. alone.
"All you have to do is drive around town some night," Cloud said. "Everybody’s got big, bright, luminous security lights. If you just look where they’re shining, bathing a neighbor’s house in light, bathing the yards in light; if you train yourself to notice it, it’ll freak you out."
Cloud said she's not in favor of a town plunged into darkness, but just wishes people could learn to install their security lights properly and purchase systems of appropriate luminosity. A light trespass ordinance could not only restore some of the necessary shade to Collingswood's night sky, but it might possibly help save a few bucks on electric bills, she said.
"I just think an ordinance would be good for people to have some recourse when things are just too bright," Cloud said. "You can’t have a business that has a big flashing sign out front.
"It’s something that I’d like the town to have a conversation about."
Check out the lighting code handbook produced by Dark Skies above, and tell us in the comments if you think Collingswood could benefit from a light trespass ordinance. | <urn:uuid:934d3a61-4d06-4e28-a976-8e38859b6f8d> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://collingswood.patch.com/articles/cloud-seeks-darkening-skies-over-collingswood?logout=true | 2013-05-22T14:25:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947584 | 557 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Westerdam Children's / Kid's Programs & Babysitting
The Westerdam offers full time, year round, kids' programs. Age-appropriate planned activities for children are provided throughout the cruise.
Youth groups onboard the Westerdam are divided based on age.
Club HAL takes care of the 5-8 year olds with two rooms full of toys and games provide lots of stimulating choices. Activities include arts and crafts, candy bar bingo and ice cream parties. Located on the Observation Deck (Deck 10).
Kids age 9-12 can learn to dance, do scavenger hunts or sing karaoke.
Teenager activities on the Westerdam include trivia contests, card games, theme parties and movies. There is also an "adult free", but supervised area for teens. "The Loft" is a teen hangout with a dance floor, lounge area and a setup for DVDs. Located on the Observation Deck (Deck 10).
Age appropriate planned activities are provided throughout the cruise. All the kids get to do ship tours and Coke-tail parties.
Babysitting on the Westerdam
The Westerdam offers in-room babysitting on a first-come, first-served basis. It is advised that you book your babysitting early on the Westerdam as the staffing for babysitting is often limited. Make your babysitting arrangements through the Front Desk.
For a detailed overview of the Club HAL children's program, what to expect, costs, late night babysitting services, slumber parties and child care. Holland America Line even has daycare programs that allow parents to leave their kids on the ship when the Westerdam is in port.
Westerdam Children's / Kid's Program Tips:
The daily activities for the various kids' programs are delivered to cabins every evening. They are also handed out by their respective Directors.
Participation in the kids' programs is based on the itinerary and the time of year. For instance, if you are sailing on longer itineraries or during the winter months when more kids are in school, participation is low. Participation is also lower if your itinerary takes you to remote locales such as Asia, South America, Africa or the South Pacific. Summer months and shorter sailing tend to draw more kids and therefore more participation in the kids' programs.
Sign up for all groups is on the first night of your cruise. The older kids can come and go as they please. It's a good idea to set up a meeting point or a buddy system after an activity is over. Camp Directors for these groups will escort as needed. | <urn:uuid:77be7fc6-dfcb-42b5-8732-36747e9cb34a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cruiseadvice.org/CruiseShips/ChildrensPrograms.aspx?ShipName=westerdam | 2013-05-22T14:18:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949461 | 533 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Movie Review: Ruby Sparks
The Charlotte Observer
Men are Pygs.
That’s at least one potential take-away from “Ruby Sparks,” an adroit, modestly inventive take on the Pygmalion myth from the actress Zoe Kazan. Kazan wrote the screenplay for this alternately fizzy and cerebral romantic comedy in which she also stars. That “Ruby Sparks” just happens to offer a showcase for some bravura acting on her part – particularly in one show-stopping sequence late in the proceedings – only proves that Kazan is as cognizant of the limited roles for women in Hollywood as she is willing to take matters into her own considerably watchable hands.
If “Ruby Sparks” ultimately loses its nerve, perhaps that’s Kazan’s sop to audiences she thinks won’t be interested in dealing with the tougher implications of what they’ve just seen. Because for a while there, “Ruby Sparks” is a tough little movie.
Paul Dano plays Calvin Weir-Fields, a novelist who had a hit book when he was 19 and now toils alone in a posh home office, suffering a massive case of writer’s block as he tries to match his early promise. Inspired by a dream, he begins noodling with a character who, as he pecks away at his vintage typewriter, swiftly becomes a fictional romantic ideal: Ruby Sparks, a wide-eyed, hip, uncomplicated artist who, like all awesome girlfriends, reflects Calvin at twice his size, charm and intelligence.
When Ruby unexpectedly comes to life – in the red-headed, azure-eyed form of Kazan – Calvin initially think she’s a figment of his needy imagination. But when it turns out other people can see her, too – including Calvin’s no-nonsense brother Harry (Chris Messina) – he’s forced into an increasingly provocative series of challenges having to do with projection, control and unconditional love.
The film’s directors, Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, keep its narrative lines as clear and uncluttered as Calvin’s pristine, white L.A. house. Like their last outing, “Little Miss Sunshine,” Kazan’s “Ruby Sparks” traffics in its share of well-worn indie tropes. But Faris and Dayton mostly resist easy cliches, although Annette Bening’s characterization of Calvin’s groovy hippie mom in Big Sur borders on hackneyed caricature.
“Ruby Sparks” is at its best when it puts viewers in the highly charged emotional petri dish of the relationship between Calvin and Ruby, who understandably begins to chafe at the author’s attempts to write her into his own, self-valorizing script. And Kazan manages to mount a clever critique of the very dream girl image she embodies, taking it to its most absurd extreme in a biting, be-careful-what-you-wish-for climax. Dano and Kazan, a real-life couple, bring unforced verisimilitude to their portrayal of the alternately idyllic and embattled young couple, although Dano’s lanky, long-limbed feints and fumbles aren’t nearly as interesting as what is going on behind Kazan’s all-seeing kewpie-doll eyes.
Perhaps it’s because “Ruby Sparks” fizzes along with such promise that its finale lands with such a quizzical thud. Kazan winds up indulging in the very wish-fulfillment she initially sets out to deconstruct. For a movie so bent on skewering illusions, “Ruby Sparks” ultimately can’t entirely let go of its own. | <urn:uuid:8dbb19e3-a16f-40c1-8be0-619c54bfcf7b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://events.charlotteobserver.com/reviews/show/14250605-review-ruby-sparks | 2013-05-22T14:54:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956201 | 803 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

We’re entering a slow period for home video, as no major theatrical releases made their way to the small screen this week. Fortunately a well-made TV movie stepped up to fill the void.

organisers are informed that excursions take place on coastal and inland sections
where walking on uneven ground and beach cobbles may prove a challenge. Each site
is chosen for ease of access, however walking of up to half a mile and some mild
climbing over rocks may be involved. That said many older participants
have found the trips wholly manageable. Older and bolder groups welcome!
It is the responsibility
of the group organiser to ensure all participants are fit and healthy and can
cope with the challenge presented to them in a fieldwork situation. Please
notify me of any medical conditions which might affect participation before booking. | <urn:uuid:7810572f-1d25-4005-a964-7591af67c854> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://fossilwalks.com/safety.htm | 2013-05-22T14:54:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.894964 | 227 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Choosing the right rocks for building stone walls.
When building a stone wall, it's important to choose the right kind of rock (stone). The rocks you choose will play a large role in how the stone wall will look when you're finished. Your stone wall can be formal or informal, imposing or inviting, depending on the rocks you select. There are a lot of stones from which to choose. From round types to square types, and from "new" stones to "old" ones; follow these tips for choosing the right rocks for building a stone wall. | <urn:uuid:8ab69cf1-5ff5-453b-90b9-fd35b8a96a78> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://landscaping.about.com/od/Building-Stone-Walls/ss/selecting-stones-for-stone-walls.htm | 2013-05-22T14:32:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.915142 | 115 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
While we have gone from console to console, and while we are currently waiting for the next-gen consoles, I started to think about how necessary it is to continue to attempt to innovate gaming. When the Wii was released it seemed motion gaming was going to be the new craze. Wii led to Playstation Move and that eventually led to Kinect. Now that motion gaming seems at a standstill we see attention put upon the console as a home entertainment system. Sony and Microsoft both have advanced their units from simple gaming devices to the core of most home theater systems. You can go weeks using your console and not even play a single video game. Between their digital markets, video apps, and now internet browsing, the console functions as if gaming is a secondary function.
While we are all considering what we would like to see in the new consoles I challenge us not to lose sight of what matters most in a gaming console; gaming. We should all be sure the new units truly are the next step in gaming evolution before we start thinking about what else it could do. Who cares if it has Blu-ray, or web browsing, or internet apps, or video chat. Who cares how it looks, sounds, smells. Does the damned thing take gaming to the next level or not? This should be everyone’s primary concern.
And further, why the hell do we need our tablets to integrate with our video games? I know tablets are the new fad, another option for gaming, and a social accessory, but it doesn’t need to be a necessary tool for a video game. I have no interest in using my tablet to check my inventory. I don’t want to put down my controller, grab the tablet, and use it to solve any sort of problem. I don’t have much interest in the Wii U because of these points. I want to keep my consoles to gaming and use just one controller to man it all.
Do we want to have more and more things capable of connecting and functioning with our consoles? Would it be a waste of time for the companies to create purchase options for a gaming console that does nothing more? What do we anticipate to be the next step in gaming after tablet innovation? | <urn:uuid:9abd70d1-a9cb-4798-aab0-4bdcfb209f39> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://leviathyn.com/games/opinion/2012/07/01/should-we-stop-the-innovation/ | 2013-05-22T14:52:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952368 | 453 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

AirplanesI'm gonna start with airplane travel. This summer I traveled alone from CT to FL with luggage and an 8 year old. It was a piece of cake! I just used the resources offered to me. I'm not going to say the specific airline because all offer this service. When calling to make the reservation I mentioned that I was disabled and I have a wheelchair. For those who don't have one the airport will provide one for you. Don't bother waiting for those stupid carts because you won't get the same perks that I am about to tell you. Also mention you will be needing assistance on any connecting flights and the return flights. They actually tag your account in the system so they are aware of everything on your date of travel. They waived the booking fee and upgraded at no charge but that part is per airline.
The airline will have someone on staff to meet you curbside. You just tell them what time you will be there. The staff member takes your luggage out of the car and wheels you and your luggage to the airline service desk. (psst...I got to cut in line!) They check the bags you want checked, then off you go.
You see that long security line ahead? Bypass! You are wheeled to a side line and checked through security. You will have to stand to walk through the metal detector but that's it. They also have to wipe down the chair quick to make sure there aren't any explosive powders on it.
Next stop your terminal. Here they hand you over to a flight attendant and they are made aware that you are here and ready to go. When it's time to board you are the first to go. They wheel you all the way down to the plane and drop you off. If you have a personal chair they check it with the carriages. If you don't they just bring it right back up to the airport. The flight attendant will help you to your seat and place all items above in the bins for you. They will also get them for you during the flight if you need them. Try to also get up and move around every hour to prevent blood clots and bone stiffness.
Once you reach your destination (unfortunately you are the last to get off) your chair, or a chair, will be waiting at the planes door to escort you to baggage claim. Once there you will get help with your luggage and be escorted to your party or car/shuttle service waiting for you. Now think about this timeline I gave you. We are talking waiting at the first airport, the flight, and the second airport. Over a few hours you may have stood or walked 10 minutes total over a few hours! How stress free its that?
UPDATE!!!: There is a good point brought up in the comments below about medication. These are TSA guidelines.
- All prescription medication must be labeled with the original prescription label in the vial that the pharmacy provided for you. A side note it is illegal to have prescription labels on you at any time (not just in the airport) that has someone elses name on it. Unless you are that persons caregiver you can be arrested and charged with drug possession. All pill bottles must fit in a QUART size zip lock see through bag. If all your bottles don't fit you need to check them.
- Injectable medications and those needing refrigeration can be carried on to the plane. You must declare them at the security checkpoint and provide a note from the doctor saying yes this medication needs to stay with you. This medication CAN NOT be x-rayed and can be carried on in a small cooler. Again make sure prescription label is on this medication showing your name. If you need one because you threw the box out your pharmacy can print you a new one.
CarIf you can it would be best to be a passenger rather than the driver. Not having to be aware and drive defensively will keep your body's stress level low and your mind more rested.
Bring a pillow with you. Pillows will help ease the stress on your joints. You can position them to support you where you need it.
Wear comfortable shoes. Nothing is worse than taking your shoes off because they hurt and not being to get them on when you are stopping to take a pee break.
Stop the car every hour at the least. You need to get out and stretch to prevent joints stiffening up and blood clots.
Pack a bag full of your comfort items, an iPod with soothing music, anti nausea medication, wash cloth, cold water, etc. Items that will soothe you if you start to feel sick.
One thing I also do is purchase my daughter a new coloring book, or new crayons to keep her busy. Kids love getting new things and it usually will work to get a bit of quiet time.
Depending on the station you use you might be able to get assistance to the bus/train. Call and ask for the destination trip and your return trip.
Same tips apply as the car. Try to get up and walk the aisle and stretch. Bring pillows and other comfort items. Wear comfortable footwear.
I hope these travel tips have helped you. If you have any to add please feel free to comment below. | <urn:uuid:9e43dc22-0b8f-430f-804d-9bb4ac498342> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://raawareness.blogspot.com/2011/12/traveling-tips.html | 2013-05-22T14:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965524 | 1,077 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Over the next few weeks there are two poetry conferences you shouldn’t miss…unless like me you are in Sydney and the conferences are being held at the University of Auckland and the Melbourne campus of Deakin University.
First to Auckland…next week, on the 29th and 30th March I will be missing Short Takes on Long Poems: A Trans Tasman Symposium at the University of Auckland hosted by the New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (nzepc). This is the sixth symposium nzepc has organised (the others being Auckland 2004, Christchurch 2005, Bluff 2006, Auckland 2010 and Sydney 2010).
According to the conference organisers Short Takes on Long Poems will focus on “short long poems and long short poems; in epic and seriality; in the book-length or site-specific poem”. They continue: “we like the challenge of folding the universe into a matchbox. We like matchboxes made of dark matter. We want to be surprised, diverted and delighted by what we can bring to points of exchange, and we want to bring those points – before, during, and/or after our symposium – into digital renditions”.
Some of the highlights, from an Australian perspective include John Tranter talking about his poem ‘The Anaglyph,’ collected in Starlight: 150 Poems (UQP 2010). Also on the program is Pam Brown who will presenting Kevin Davies’ long poem ‘Duckwalking a Perimeter’, the penultimate section of his book The Golden Age of Paraphernalia, Philip Mead on John Kinsella’s 400-page Divine Comedy: journeys through a regional geography, Hazel Smith on ‘The Film of Sound’ – the contemporary long poem exists not only on the page,” but has also evolved off the page through performance, intermedia work and new media writing”, Sam Moginie and Andy Carruthers on Jas H. Duke’s Destiny Wood and Australian Experimentalism, Toby Fitch reading from his work ‘Rawshock’ a long poem in 10 parts, Martin Harrison on the question of endings, Jill Jones on the intersection of the long poem with “other art practices, other modalities”, Ann Vickery on on a series of collaborative longish poems written and performed by Australian poets Pam Brown, Carol Christie, Jane McKemmish and Amanda Stewart, Ella O’Keefe on John Anderson’s book-length poem the forest set out like the night and Jessica Wilkinson on her long poetic-biography of early cinema actress Marion Davies, And this is before we start looking at the New Zealand and other international presenters.
Even before I will be able to start to get over my disappointment at missing Short Takes on Long Poems, I’m going to have to confront even more disappointment when I wont be able to make the trip to Melbourne for The Political Imagination: Contemporary Postcolonial and Diasporic Poetries at Deakin University (Deakin Prime in Melbourne) on 12th and 13th of April 2012.
According to the organisers ‘The Political Imagination’ will bring “together some of Australia’s leading poets and poetry scholars to investigate the state of contemporary postcolonial and diasporic poetries. It aims to explore the contentious, at times controversial, issues surrounding the production and discussion of poetry and poetics in work that engages with the politics of the postcolonial, the transnational and the diasporic. Among the topics addressed by symposium participants will be opposition, identity, subversion and hybridity”.
One of the potential highlights, as we approach the 39th anniversary of Michael Dransfield’s death later in April, is Michael Farrell’s presentation on ‘‘a needle spelling XANADU’: Reading Michael Dransfield’s ‘Courland Penders’ through the Neobaroque’. To quote from the abstract to this paper:
The neobaroque, also known as the colonial or counter-baroque is posed, in Latin American literature, as a counter-conquest mode. In this paper I attempt to reframe what has been seen as Dransfield’s romantic myth of Courland Penders as a neobaroque space: one that extends, critiques and parodies the colonial. As Alejo Carpentier writes in the Latin American context, ‘Let us not fear the Baroque, our art, born from trees, timber, altarpieces, and altars, from decadent carvings and calligraphic portraits, and even from late neoclassicisms’. Is this art foreign to Australia, or does it exist in imaginary inventions (or ‘folds’) like Courland Penders?
Two more quotes are relevant: Cuban critic Severo Sarduy writes that ‘Baroque space is superabundant and wasteful. In contrast to language that is communicative, economic, austere, and reduced to function as a vehicle for information, Baroque language delights in surplus, in excess, and in the partial loss of its object’; Irlemar Chiampi describes the neobaroque as ‘the aesthetic of countermodernity’. The former rejects the economic model of settlement; the latter affirms the former’s style. The specific poems I consider in seeking to read Dransfield as a producer of Australian baroque are ‘Portrait of the artist as an old man’, ‘Courland Penders: going home’, ‘Tapestry at Courland Penders’, and ‘Birthday ballad, Courland Penders’, all from Dransfield’s first book, Streets of the Long Voyage.
The other presentations look just as interesting:
- Adam Aitken “(un)becoming hybridity in my poetry”
- Ali Alizadeh on “Metapolitics vs. identity politics: (re-)radicalising the postcolonial”,
- Michelle Cahill on “The Poetics of Subalternity”
- Danijela Kambaskovic-Sawers on “A migrant poet and the fine art of escapism”
- Bridie McCarthy on” Border Protection: Neo-Colonialism and the Canon”
- Lyn McCredden on “Poetry and the Nation”
- Peter Minter on ‘Toward a Decolonised Australian Poetry’
- Lucy Van on “‘Why Waste Lines on Achille?’: Tracing the Critical Discourse on Postcolonial Poetry
- Ann Vickery on “Postcolonial Lovetypes: On Doing and Not Doing Her Kind in the Poetry of Juliana Spahr and Astrid Lorange”
- Ania Walwicz on “cut tongue”-fragmentation, collage and defence”
- Sam Wagan Watson on “Fight Club”
If, unlike me you are able to make the trip to Auckland or Melbourne, or if you are already in those cities, then it would be almost unforgivable not to make an effort to attend these conferences.

OK, how about...
One thing I've wanted that the proposal doesn't cover is the ability to
reorder the arguments. Something like:
(curry - <2> <1>) == (lambda (x1 x2) (- x2 x1))
(curry list 1 <2> 3 <1> 5) == (lambda (x1 x2) (list 1 x2 3 x1 5))
Now I agree that down this path lies madness -- at some point, just writing
the lambda-expression becomes the most perspicuous way to say what you mean
-- but to me this still seems within bounds.
Note that I'm not proposing to replace `<>' with `<1>', `<2>', etc. I'm
suggesting that the user gets the choice: If she uses `<>', then the order
is implicit as it is now. If she uses `<1>', `<2>', ..., then the numbers
give the order of arguments. Let it be an error if she mixes the two. | <urn:uuid:3a953949-2410-489c-97ed-307eed51e89c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-26/mail-archive/msg00018.html | 2013-05-22T14:32:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.888547 | 247 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Thai violence from 'Drive' director draws cheers, boos

Leading 4-3 with two outs and the bases empty in the top of the third, West Ouachita strung together six straight hits to break the game wide open en route to a 15-3 victory over Sterlington on a chilly Wednesday evening.
Besides putting a damper on the Lady Panthers' season-opener, the Lady Chiefs (1-1) spoiled their former coach's debut with his new team. Sterlington coach Jack Goode spent the past five years at West Ouachita, including the past four as head softball coach.
There were some changes in the visitor's dugout as well. Ashley Burkett Hoyle, a former Lady Chiefs' catcher and assistant coach, notched her first victory as a head coach. Meanwhile, former Sterlington trainer Paul "Doc" Vaughn, the Lady Chiefs' new first base coach — admitted that it felt a little strange to be in the visitor's dugout at Panther Park.
West Ouachita, which scored in every inning, grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first after loading the bases with one out on a slap single by Bobbi Smith and a pair of walks. Amy Crockett's sacrifice fly to center chased Smith home with the first run of the game. Another walk to Allison Tryon loaded the bases and Rebecca Skains smoked a two-run single to right.
"Their lineup is strong one through nine," Goode said of his former team. "They have a lot of hitters mixed in with very few weak spots. It's early in the year, so both teams made some errors. They just put a lot more balls in play.
"We made some mental mistakes. We have to know what to do with the ball before the pitch. There were a couple of times where we kind of got lost, but it's early. That's what these early games are for — making adjustments."
Sterlington answered with a three-spot of its own in the home half of the first.
Sarah Gandy lined a full-count pitch over the left field fence for a leadoff home run to trigger the inning. Avery Elkins followed with an infield single and slid in safely at second as Taylor Wilson reached on a fielder's choice bunt. Elkins and Wilson both advanced on a double steal, setting up Cassidy Brady's sacrifice fly to right. Wilson beat the throw to the plate on Alex McMorris' fielder's choice grounder to shortstop, squaring the score at 3.
West Ouachita third baseman Tiffany Frost then made a diving catch on Chelbi Johnson's bunt and threw to Laynie Sims at second base to complete an inning-ending double play.
It was all West Ouachita the rest of the way.
Alex Edwards roped a double to the left field wall to open the top of the second, moved to third on a wild pitch and eventually crossed home with the go-ahead run on Allie Medlin's RBI groundout.
After the first two batters went down in order in the third, the Lady Chiefs assumed control of the game by rattling off six straight singles. Skains singled up the middle and Frost and Edwards legged out consecutive infield hits.
Back to the top of the batting order, Smith stroked an RBI single over the second base bag, Sims drove in two runs with a base hit to left-center and Allie Medlin punched a run-scoring single to right. Two more runs scored as Ashton Russell reached on an error, bringing the score to 10-3.
West Ouachita added four more in the fourth and one in the fifth.
Tryon walked leading off the fourth, Skains doubled off the right field fence, Frost singled both runners across and Edwards doubled to left. Smith followed with a sac fly to center and Edwards later scored on a wild pitch.
Crockett's home run into a cross wind in straightaway center field in the fifth wrapped up the scoring.
Sterlington had its opportunities to get back on the board, leaving the bases loaded in the third, wasting a leadoff single by Amber Knight in the fourth and stranding two in the fifth.
"We have to do a better job of getting on top of the ball instead of popping everything up and making it easy for them," Goode said. "You can do all the drills you want, but nothing accomplishes more than seeing live pitching three times a week."
Batting from the No. 9 slot, Edwards paced the Lady Chiefs' 14-hit onslaught with two doubles, a single and three runs scored. Skains went 3-for-4 with a double and drove in two runs, Smith was 3-for-3 with a sac fly and two RBI, Frost went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI, Crockett knocked in two runs with a homer and a sac fly and Sims and Medlin singled.
Elkins doubled and singled for the Lady Panthers, Gandy went deep and Wilson, McMorris and Knight singled.
Tryon struck out four and walked two for the win, while Gandy was dealt the loss.
"It's better for this to happen now than at the end of the year," Goode said. "I've said all along that it's the last three games at Sulphur that I'm worried about. All that matters right now is learning and getting better.
"These girls are not used to getting beat like this (Sterlington was 25-3 last season). The pressure is on us as coaches to make sure they take losing the right way and not get frustrated."
Notes: Continuing a tradition started last season at West Ouachita, Crockett, the Lady Chiefs' sophomore catcher, had Goode sign her home run ball after the game. … Brady, the Lady Panthers' third baseman and cleanup batter, and Tryon have both signed letter of intents to play for Bossier Parish Community College next season. … The bottom third of West Ouachita's batting order — Skains, Frost and Edwards — were a collective 8-for-10 with four RBI, three doubles and seven runs scored. … Due to the threat of rain on Thursday, the game was moved to Wednesday. … Both teams are schedule to play in the Polar Bear Classic on Friday and Saturday at ULM and West Ouachita. Neville coach Jeff Tannehill began preparing an alternate schedule Wednesday night in case of rain.

Local BIA Agency Still Recruiting Summer Firefighters
The Eastern Nevada Agency (ENA) of the Bureau of Indian Affairs is still
accepting applications through April 15 for on-call wildland firefighters for the upcoming
“We have had a lot of applications so far, and we would like to remind anyone
that is interested to submit an application before the April deadline”, said ENA Acting
Fire Management Officer Jayson Walker. “We hope to have enough firefighters to put
together 3 or 4 handcrews this season.”
Firefighting handcrews consist of 20 men and women who travel to fires
throughout the United States, for up to 20 days at a time. They work long hours in
remote locations constructing firelines to halt the spread of wildfires. Last year, local
ENA firefighters fought fires in Idaho, Montana, and Nevada, and also spent over a
month in eastern Texas assisting NASA with the search and recovery effort after the
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
“Even though the fire crews are only activated and paid during fires or
emergencies, it is an excellent opportunity to gain firefighting experience and earn money
at the same time,” Walker added.
Firefighters must be 18 years old prior to June 6, 2004, must be a U.S. citizen, and
must pass a pre-employment physical fitness test. The fitness test, or “pack test”,
consists of a three mile hike over flat ground in 45 minutes or less, and carrying a 45
Applications are available from the front desk at the Elko BLM Office, located at
3900 E. Idaho Street in Elko, or at the Te-Moak Tribal Administration building located at
525 Sunset Street. Applications submitted after April 15, 2004 will not be accepted.

Californians had a bad year at the pump in 2012, averaging a record $4.028 for a gallon of regular gasoline, according to AAA.
That shattered the previous record, set in 2011, by 21.3 cents a gallon. The jump was so big that it surprised even people who review fuel prices on a daily basis.
"I can remember when the California average for the year in 2008 was $3.525 and we thought we would never see it go that high again," said Marie Montgomery, spokeswoman for the Automobile Club of Southern California.
She noted that $4.028 "over a full year is a lot of money out of our pockets that we can't spend on other things."
California's gas prices in 2012 also helped kick the national average for a gallon of regular up to a record $3.603, which broke the previous record, set in 2011, of $3.510, AAA said.
The increase in California fuel prices in recent years is startling. In 2008, the year oil prices shot above $147 a barrel, the state averaged a then-record $3.525 for a gallon of regular gasoline, according to AAA.
The California average fell to $2.687 a gallon in 2009, then climbed back above the $3 threshold to $3.100 in 2010. In 2011, the state's average for the year jumped to $3.815 a gallon.
Since 2009, the average price that Californians pay for a gallon of regular gasoline has jumped nearly 50%.
California has some fuel factors that are unique. It's
Its only regular source of domestic crude from outside the state is Alaska's dwindling North Slope oil fields. That means California has to import more and more foreign oil, which is substantially more expensive than U.S. crude.
California's clean-air rules also mandate a special formula of gasoline that is more expensive to make and is produced by few refineries outside the state.
Analysts have cited many reasons for the 2012 prices, including one of the worst years ever for refinery outages in California. A fire in August, for example, knocked out part of Chevron's Richmond facility, one of the state's biggest refineries.
In October, a power failure at an Exxon Mobil refinery helped send California's average price up to a record $4.671 for a gallon of regular.
But a lot of people aren't buying those explanations. Consumer groups and California's U.S. senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, have called on the state attorney general and the Justice Department to investigate California's volatile fuel prices.
California refineries were also exporting fuel in 2012, and an analysis by Oregon-based McCullough Research indicated that some of them may have misled the public about the amount of fuel they were producing. | <urn:uuid:29953431-cb6d-4005-9cf0-562e488f4d6f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.contracostatimes.com/business-headlines/ci_22293445/californias-2012-average-gas-price-was-4-028?source=most_emailed | 2013-05-22T14:26:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961108 | 585 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
100 Million Poor People In America and 39 Other Facts About Poverty That Will Blow Your MindSubmitted by emalvini on Wed, 07/25/2012 - 09:39
100 Million Poor People In America and 39 Other Facts About Poverty That Will Blow Your Mind
Every single day more Americans fall into poverty. This should deeply alarm you no matter what political party you belong to and no matter what your personal economic philosophy is. Right now, approximately 100 million Americans are either "poor" or "near poor". For a lot of people "poverty" can be a nebulous concept, so let's define it. The poverty level as defined by the federal government in 2010 was $11,139 for an individual and $22,314 for a family of four. Could you take care of a family of four on less than $2000 a month? Millions upon millions of families are experiencing a tremendous amount of pain in this economy, and no matter what "solutions" we think are correct, the reality is that we all should have compassion on them. Sadly, things are about to get even worse. The next major economic downturn is rapidly approaching, and when it hits the statistics posted below are going to look even more horrendous. | <urn:uuid:c30b796b-bf11-4d2c-ad9b-5a584b6d7b5d> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.dailypaul.com/246106/100-million-poor-people-in-america-and-39-other-facts-about-poverty-that-will-blow-your-mind | 2013-05-22T14:36:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938914 | 249 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Nights Of Racket, No Mornings
Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Drew Thilmany at Echo Mountain, Asheville, North Carolina
The way that you properly start a Friday night is by mentally preparing your body for the damage that you're thinking about doing to it over the next two-plus days. It's gonna be fun, but it might not be pretty. At least, this is the itinerary for anyone between the ages of 19 and 30. It goes without saying that people in that range are fiends for whatever it's going to take to blow off some steam and not just drool over pretty things at the bars, but to actually try and persuade them home for nightcaps and ugly morning partings. We willingly throw ourselves into the gutter and let our heads get cloudy with substances and escapist fantasies. It's about all we're able to do to justify the other days, the other hours that are just barely ours - usually farmed out to the highest or only bidder.
The young men that we get to size up in the songs written and played by the young Atlanta, Georgia, group, Asherel, are tragic and typical. They're no more tragic than any other man their age. They'd hesitantly cop to being men though. They'd rather behave the way that they always have, for the most part, but then they sit back and think about what that looks like and it gets to them. They take a good, hard look and realize that they're definitely not boys any longer, but they wonder why they don't feel any different. This is the chief issue in Asherel storylines and it's the battle that's waged again and again. There must be something that can be taken, something that could be signed over or inherited that could begin working to bridge the gap and make all of the monkey business recede some - just not all the way, because where would the fun be in that?
Lead singer Trey Rosenkampff sings about sleeping some things off until the next afternoon and only some of the time would that be considered a waste of daylight. Most of the time here, it's just necessary. Rosenkampff, guitarist Graham Elder and drummer Christian Ebetino will then muster the energy to throw back the covers, scratch their itchy parts, shuffle into a kitchen with a sink filled with empty cans and a stench and then figure out how they were going to make a new racket later that day - along with who they were going to make it with.

Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
I would not ever shoot an animal through the guts and hope for a kill!
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
220 will limit more than help.. Kind of like hooking a cow trailer up to a 'vette. It's all about energy and velocity has a lot to do with that equation.
I load nothing but the Nosler 165 gr. Accubond or Partition in my 30-06 and they are both great bullets that I feel would work just fine for your elk hunt. I would chose a good 165 or 180 and then shoot which bullet shoots the best in my particular rifle. Good luck on your hunt!

"One loves to possess arms though they hope never to."
My .338 Mag is shooting 185gr Hornady's at 3,000+ FPS so I think 220 out of an 06 is a bit much.
"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway."
Hunting camp coffee isn't complete until you chew the last drink.
I shoot 150 gr. barnesXBT's in my model 70 30.06....it loves them, my model 700 won't group
with them. It likes heavier bullets. I loaded-up some 200 gr. accubonds for it..it likes those and 180's.
I agree with Mike Eastman, use what you're familiar with. Those 220's aren't those round nose corelokts
are they? I never liked the performance of the early corelokt's, they come apart. I guess with the modern
high performance bullets we have to choose from nowadays...we're spoiled.
Yeah, the 220 grains are round-nosed because more weight has to be added without making the bullet longer because it would screw up the caliber. The 150's are the most pointed, 165's very pointed, 180's are still very pointed, and the 220's are pretty round which doesn't help them at all balistically. I think 180's or 165's are the right choice.
220 gr. is fine, but you won't have the range...180 gr. is the best choice for Elk..... | <urn:uuid:87ef3337-b3c2-4af9-8990-a51358f2d066> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.eastmans.com/forum/showthread.php/1091-Is-a-220-grain-30-06-bullet-to-much-for-bull-elk?p=12360&viewfull=1 | 2013-05-22T14:54:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953452 | 494 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Why do we say the $27 strip steak, on the lunch menu at Capital Grille, is a flat out steal?
We say it’s a steal because it is:
1) 14 ounces;
3) seasoned properly;
4) seared to perfection as the steakhouses like to say (which really means the Maillard reaction was properly monitored over a high heat grill);
4) as juicy and beefy as a sirloin can get.
And finally, the main reason it’s the best strip deal on the Strip is because:
5) the same superior slices of steak succulence costs twenty bucks more at dinner!
Other reasons to love a lunch at CG are those pan-fried calamari with hot cherry peppers, the best creamed spinach of any chain steakhouse in town, and crackerjack service that makes it just about perfect for a business lunch….especially when business is conducted over a sassy bottle of $45 Byron pinot noir — a light and fruity central Cali-coast-er that goes perfectly with a slab of prime, aged steer muscle.
Add it all up and you have our favorite franchised beef emporium in our humble burg. One, by the way, where we’ve eaten a dozen times and never once been comped or recognized.
Our lunch pour deux was picked up by our über-foodie friend Jennifer Curland. Gracias, über-foodie friend Jennifer!

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.
this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see.
NEAR MINT or NM, M- : The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.
EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.
VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ : record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. there will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well have been played but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover (still, no Large letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke). Still it should be decent.
GOOD or G : A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. A Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. These are big turn offs. May have magic marker writing on the cover but still if they are in huge letters, it is a big turn off. In essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but some artwork will still be noticed. If the artwork is worn, it is POOR and the cover is worthless.
On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above gradings are equivalent to:
MINT - 10, Near Mint - 8, Excellent - 7, Very Good Plus - 6 , Very Good - 5 , Good - 2 | <urn:uuid:f8087708-a4e3-4c1f-a528-ff70e6b74a17> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenny-Williams-Feelin-Blue-Can-Forget-You-NEW-and-unplayed-/110853047285?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item19cf5b43f5 | 2013-05-22T14:55:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964609 | 924 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

I'm an entrepreneur sharing ideas and research to grow your business
This morning I got up a little early to set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch notebook computer with Retina Display. I also bought the portable USB SuperDrive because the Macbook no longer comes with a DVD or CD player, to make things lighter, or people use thumb drives more I guess.
As I was unwrapping it I noticed something absolutely amazing…
The shrink-wrap was perfect.
I was so amazed I took two pictures with my iPhone 5. It seemed a shame to open it.
The clear plastic seam was exactly even around the center of the box. And so was the shrink wrap on the USB SuperDrive box; even the shrink wrap on the box of an accessory is perfect. There weren’t any shrink-wrap wrinkles either on the corners of the box where some lazy employee didn’t bother taking the time with a hot air gun to shrink them out.
I always use those little wrinkles at the corner of the package to grab so I can rip the shrink wrap off of a box. There weren’t any. How do I even open it? Every other company on the planet has wrinkles.
Steve Jobs cared. And now Apple employees deeply care. Or probably, Apple has automated the process so it is perfect every time…
Do you know how hard that is to do? I do. And why in the world would somebody be so anal-retentive that even the shrink wrap around the box was impressively perfect?
Because maybe it matters.
It mattered to Steve Jobs, it matters to Apple. They are the number one valued company in the world. Are these little tiny details related to their value in the marketplace?
I think so.
I remember I was the Marketing Director at Infobases, Inc., an electronic publishing company that was originally started by Paul Allen and Dan Taggart. We sold one of the first scriptures on computer software packages. We eventually tripled sales. Paul is now my friend who later helped found Ancestry.com, MyFamily.com, and Family Link. I just spoke with him the other day.
Back then I was in charge of the marketing strategy and the look and feel of the products, the packaging, the overall experience. Most of my other jobs have been in sales, but that time in marketing was incredibly valuable.
I remember one day I noticed that the manager of the packaging team was shrink-wrapping a pallet of software packages. He had this shrink-wrap sealing machine that would seal three edges around a box with heat. It was always uneven. But if you took a little extra time with the heat gun you could shrink the plastic with just the right tension so the seam would stay even in the center of the box.
He shrunk that plastic as fast as he could. There were even black char marks occasionally where he melted a big lump in the corner. So what. It was just shrink-wrap.
He wanted to get finished. He didn’t care. It drove me nuts. It looked terrible. We had gone to incredible effort, hired a great designer by the name of Mark Meservy to carefully design wonderful packaging, and the shrink-wrap made us look like we didn’t give a darn.
He thought I was crazy when I asked him to redo them. | <urn:uuid:02e8fe23-dd25-4234-8864-33a82c650593> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenkrogue/2013/01/12/apple-does-1-thing-other-companies-dont-do/?commentId=blogAndPostId/blog/comment/2273-877-1586 | 2013-05-22T14:20:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973075 | 702 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Whether it’s the new year, a new job, a new baby or simply the right time to get your finances order, the process usually starts with setting some goals.
Experts say the first step in the process of achieving financial goals is to recognize what needs to be done to put yourself in the position you want to be in. Once you’ve identified those goals, you just need to figure out how to accomplish them.
Don Toffolo, AAMS from Edward Jones in Jonesville said this is the perfect time of year to think about goals.
“It’s a good week to do this since people are coming in this week to get their finances in order,” Toffolo said.
Financial Advisor Brian Perry, CHFC, CRPC of Ameriprise Financial of Hillsdale agrees that the new year is the time when people want to get their “financial house” in order to start the year out fresh.
“It’s similar to what’s going on in Washington D.C.,” Perry said. “It all starts with us as we focus on what our needs are.”
When people are asked what type of financial goals they are looking to accomplish in the next year, the experts say there are four common answers when looking to obtain financial health.
Spend less on unnecessary expenses
The first step in cutting out unnecessary expenses is to determine your current spending habits to understand just how much disposable income you have so you can set a monthly budget and manage it wisely.
“I like to be less specific with it and think of it more as a process,” Toffolo said. “People can ask where they are today, where they’d like to be and how they can get there.”
How they can stay on track and staying accountable is also important to consider, he said.
Perry said he’s always told clients that when looking at a budget, spend money wisely.
“In some cases it’s cleaning up loose ends,” he said. “We can create a path to get there.”
To help stay on track, both agree it’s important to check your budget monthly to see how you are doing.
Achieve healthier credit
To achieve healthier credit, the experts advise checking your score. This provides a baseline, making it easier to track progress.
From there, check your credit reports frequently and look for any bad financial habits that may be keeping your score down, such as late payments or bloated credit card balances.
“It’s what people can be doing all the time when they make their budgets,” Toffolo said.
Checking regularly can also help you minimize your exposure to identity theft and ensure your credit report accurately reflects your credit history.
Though some people may not have access to ways to check their score, having awareness of what expenses they do have is key, Perry said.
“We all agree that less debt is better for you and if you can help rid yourself of it, the better off you are,” he said.
Save more money
Once you’ve created your monthly budget, you can begin to identify ways to cut unnecessary expenses and save more. Sit down with your financial adviser to see what type of investments, such as a 401k, make sense with any money that's left over. As you are reassessing your financial goals, review your investments to solidify your returns.
Toffolo said these may seem like common sense measures, but from his experience, it’s something everyone needs to be reminded of.
Perry said saving money goes back to staying on a budget and meeting certain increments. While some people may not get paid enough to add much to their savings, it adds success “all around the board.”
Pay down existing debts
For most folks, paying down debts is the first step toward saving more, so the two often go hand in hand.
Some advisors suggest identifying which debts carry the highest interest rates and focus on paying those off first.
Toffolo agrees with attacking credit card debt before you increase principal payments on “good” debt like students loans with low interest rates. As you’re setting your monthly budget, dedicate any money that’s left over to paying down your debts, he said.
Perry said it’s not always the high interest debts that have to be tackled first.
“It sometimes makes more sense to pay off the smaller debts to have more money to apply to the bigger ones,” he said.
Both agree when setting financial goals, it pays to develop a plan that you can execute and then have the discipline to stick to it. | <urn:uuid:44071889-718c-4165-ac7f-6694ab2eb1bf> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.hillsdale.net/article/20130104/ENTERTAINMENTLIFE/130109855/0/pink | 2013-05-22T14:19:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959418 | 993 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Following the go-ahead by the Reserve Bank, banks have begun restructuring the loans worth around Rs. 1,300 crore given to iron ore miners and other stakeholders such as truckers and shipping lines.
The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), which has intermediated the
efforts to get the loans restructured, today said the banks have already begun the debt restructuring process.
Canara Bank, which has an exposure of Rs. 37 crore, has already begun recasting the loan, while Corporation Bank is also in the process of loan recast, the chamber said.
"The RBI during a recent meeting of the empowered committee in Goa had told the banks that they had no objections for restructuring the debt of the mining industry if they are based on the prescribed guidelines," GCCI president Manguirish Pai Raikar told PTI.
According to a rough estimate, banks have around Rs. 1,300 crore exposure to the troubled industry. Loan servicing had been hit after mining came to a standstill in the state.
There are 22,000 trucks and 400-odd ships in the state transporting ore from different parts of Goa to the ports.
The RBI has also asked the banks to tell borrowers to opt for alternative source of business so that the loan amount does not turn into a bad debt, Raikar said, adding the borrowers would be given a breathing space till they manage alternative source of income. | <urn:uuid:d19a231b-aa9f-47d2-9a78-51df9b8f0d14> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.hindustantimes.com/BusinessSectionPage/Chunk-HT-UI-HomePage-Tab2-02/Banks-recasting-Rs-1-300cr-loan-to-Goa-mining-sector/Article1-970901.aspx | 2013-05-22T14:19:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971275 | 295 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Hines' 101 California Earns LEED® Platinum Certification
Scores #1 out of 7,307 LEED EB Projects Worlwide
(SAN FRANCISCO) – The San Francisco office of Hines, the international real estate firm, along with partner NLI Properties West, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Life Insurance Company), announced today that 101 California has been certified at the Platinum level under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance Rating System. With a score of 94 LEED credits, this architectural landmark, designed by Philip Johnson, has earned the highest score ever awarded in the Existing Building (EB) category throughout the world, an extraordinary milestone for a 30-year-old building, for the city of San Francisco and for the state of California.
This announcement will be formalized today at a festive outdoor ceremony on the building’s plaza during which Rick Fedrizzi, founder, president and CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) will speak about this achievement and present 101 California with a plaque commemorating the milestone. Fedrizzi comments, “Green building makes an immediate and measurable impact on the environmental health of the planet and we have an especially large opportunity in the existing building sector. Hines’ certification of 101 California is a remarkable achievement. Their leadership is helping to change the way we build and operate our buildings and serves as a model for others."
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee added, “Congratulations to Hines and NLI Properties West, Inc. for earning LEED Platinum certification at 101 California, and the highest number of LEED points ever awarded to any building in its category. It is in large part due to the strong support of our business leaders that San Francisco is at the forefront of the clean energy economy."
The 48-story, 1,250,000-square-foot building was developed by Hines, completed in 1982 and is still managed and leased by Hines, as well as co-owned with NLI Properties West, Inc. Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District, 101 California provides quality office space to tenants and enhances its surroundings with a prominent public plaza. The building is over 93 percent leased to a distinguished roster of tenants that includes: Cooley LLP; Deutsche Bank; Merrill Lynch; Morgan Stanley; and Winston & Strawn.
With a long-standing commitment to sustainability, the building has earned the ENERGY STAR® label for nine years dating back to 2001. 101 California is 42 percent more energy efficient and annually saves $1.45 in energy costs per square foot when compared to the average U.S. office building. This translates to estimated annual greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing 928 passenger vehicles from the road, or reducing gasoline consumption by 530,381 gallons.
101 California gained notoriety in the LEED arena in 2009 when it became the largest high rise office building in San Francisco to become LEED EB certified. As the focus on LEED intensified in the market and more buildings became certified at higher levels, the decision was made by management not to wait the requisite five years to recertify, and nothing short of Platinum would do.
“To get a score of 94, we looked at every single credit to determine how, not if, we could achieve our goal,” said Hines Senior Vice President-Operations Tom Kruggel. “A top-notch in-house LEED team was dedicated to the project for nearly 10 months, and with careful attention to detail, we accomplished our goal.”
During the last 15 – 20 years, this iconic building has executed upgrades which helped with the original LEED certification, including: retro-commissioning of the entire building; implementing green cleaning standards; and introducing a comprehensive recycling and composting program.
To reach the goal of Platinum certification, the dedicated LEED team developed new ways to receive credits that hadn’t previously been done in the other LEED projects on the West Coast. Some of the sustainable features and programs implemented during the last 10 months include: replacing the restroom fixtures; revamping the landscaping in order to monitor water usage; making plant and tree fertilizer on site; installing new bike racks and showers in the building; and moving from a re-commissioning to continuous-commissioning program to ensure the building’s systems continue to function at optimal performance levels.
Provisions for electric vehicle charging stations were also installed in the garage. Hines Director of Property Management David Koch explained, “The electric vehicle charging stations are relatively new in California, but San Francisco is leading the charge with several of the larger occupant garages having at least one. We currently have two electric vehicle charging stations that are used four to six times per month, although we expect usage to escalate as more electronic vehicles are purchased.”
101 California utilizes high performing green cleaning services and sustainable purchasing. All cleaning products are now green-seal certified, paper products contain recycled content, cleaning equipment stresses re-use versus disposal, and all vacuums use HEPA filters to reduce dust by at least 99.9 percent. The property also improved its diversion rate for trash. More than 85 percent now gets recycled or composted versus going into a landfill.
Additionally, Hines offers its proprietary GREEN OFFICE for Tenants program, which assists in giving tenants options to reduce their carbon footprint. Hines developed this program in 2008 for tenants to enhance the sustainable features and operations of the space the firm occupies. HinesGO (GREEN OFFICE) for Tenants was rolled out at 101 California in April 2009 and to date, approximately 82 percent of the property’s leased square footage has been certified GREEN OFFICE
Hines Global Sustainability Officer Gary Holtzer commented, “This extraordinary achievement by the staff of 101 California is a testament to the quality of the original building and the commitment of ownership to the sustainable operation and maintenance of the asset. Even though the building is nearly three decades old, it still performs to the highest standards in our industry. It is symbolic of Hines’ firm-wide commitment to sustainability.”

Twenty years ago, few Americans approved of homosexuality or thought gay marriage should be legal. Now, nearly half of all Americans support same-sex marriage, though most Christians are still opposed to it.
And if you're just joining us, this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
In North Carolina this past week, voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union between one man and one woman. A solid majority of the state's African-American voters backed it as well.
The very next day, President Obama publicly endorsed same-sex marriage. But will that affect black turnout in support of the president in November? Here's Tanner Latham from member station WFAE in Charlotte. | <urn:uuid:0ac89092-6cf3-41c9-aade-8d411d7d22e3> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.kunc.org/term/religion?page=69 | 2013-05-22T14:22:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955616 | 154 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
(WICHITA, Kan.)—Police can only solve part of the problem facing Wichita’s Old Town. How the public feels about the district after four weekends of shots fired is just as challenging.
“That's part of the issue…trying to convey what the facts are compared to what the perception might be. It's not helped by misinformation or what people think they know the facts are,” says councilmember Janet Miller.
The perception problem was only made worse this week when a company called Upsidedowntown designed and started selling a t-shirt which say "Welcome to Wichita Old Town Duck" followed by an expletive and two handguns.
A few days later, someone else printed a shirt to counter it, highlighting the positives Old Town has to offer.
In the meantime, business owners in area are fed up, the public is talking and city leaders are aware of it.
“That's the biggest message we as city leaders want to convey and the public to understand. Certainly we have identified a problem and we want to address that with immediate actions and longer term actions," says Miller.
Miller says most issues happen in the 12:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. time period on weekends as bars release.
“I will tell you that we have an internal task team and there is a lot of attention being focused on this two hour period of time to solve this problem."
Miller says the city is looking at possible changes to city ordinances which could include changing the age requirements of those allowed in clubs.
It’s also looking at loitering laws that would be specific to Old Town. She says the ideas have come from club and business owners in the area. | <urn:uuid:28819f26-60ed-4fcf-91a3-27af8f67041b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.kwch.com/news/crimewatch/kwch-mds-old-town-violence-could-prompt-ordinance-changes-in-wichita-20120918,0,6624639.story | 2013-05-22T14:41:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978584 | 358 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Illustrator 9.0 Help
[Admin Note: This thread has been transplanted from our old forums. This post was originally made by Francine Eisner-Steig.]
Someone gifted me with a copy of Illustrator 9.0 that they burned, and since I had never before used it, I’m not sure if it works correctly. I am unable to draw and paint easily in Illustrator like I was able to do in Photoshop. Oh, yes, the line is smooth and not rasterized. But every time I try to do anything, a “fill” takes place. I am unable to locate or change any setiings so that this does not take place. No one has been able to satisfactorily explain why this happens. If it is a default, there must be some way to change it. I don’t care about all the patterns, etc. I just want to draw and paint, and bring my (already scanned) own designs into Illustrator. (I know that I will need Adobe Streamline to do the latter.)
Editor - The Mac Observer
Favorite (but less relevant than it used to be) Quote: Microsoft’s tyranny lies not in its success, but in the way it achieved and maintains that success.
It sounds like you are frustrated because you are not familiar with how Illustrator works. It is a 180° turn from photoshop, so you should not expect it to work the same.
First, upgrade to 9.02 (it’s free at Adobe.com).
Illustrator is a vector-drawing program, not a painting program. A “fill” takes place when you draw because your tool palette and color palette tell you that you have a fill and a stroke of a certain color. You can turn either or both off using the “slash” in the color palette. Anything you attempt to draw after changing these will have the “new” colors applied.
If you are tracing a scanned image, you can work best with a stroke and no fill.
You can utilize layers and set your scan in preview on 1 layer, and work in outline mode on another layer.
You might need more tutorial info than can be delivered in this forum.

NEW YORK STATE ENERGY & RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (NYSERDA)
NYSERDA ENERGY CODE TRAINING
With funding from NYSERDA, Newport has developed and delivered over 150 training sessions to building code officials, builders, remodelers, design professionals, and real estate professionals. In addition to developing new courses on the residential and commercial chapters of the ECCCNYS and a building science session, Newport has worked closely with the Department of State (DOS) to deliver the energy sections of their annual in-service training. All of the courses have been approved by DOS for credit hours and most have been approved by the AIAand BPI. The main goal of this project is to build a long-term understanding of the new Energy Code to meet the required standards in building design, approved plans, and constructed buildings. Read more about NYSERDA Energy Code Training.
NYSERDA ENERGY CODE HOTLINE & PLAN REVIEW SERVICES
As part of the NYSERDA and the NYS Department of State effort to provide support to building professionals on the Energy Conservation Construction Code of NYS 2010, Newport Ventures and partner, T. Y. Lin International are providing Energy Code Hotline and Plan Review services. Both services are available to code officials as well as builders, trade contractors, design professionals, and NYS residents who have questions about the code. Get more information about the Energy Code Hotline and Plan Review Services here.
NYSERDA HIGH PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE
The New York State Energy Research Development Authority conceived the High Performance Residential Development Challenge as a program to provide builders with incentives and expertise in building higher energy efficient homes. The HPRDC has a benchmark of energy efficiency at 65% or better than homes built to the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code – far beyond what builders typically build today. Newport Ventures serves as a building consultant in the project, modeling builders’ reference homes and working with builders to redesign the plans for energy efficiency.
INDIANA ENERGY CODE TRAINING
Newport Ventures conducted trainings on Indiana's Commercial Energy Code, ASHRAE 90.1-200. These trainings covered the following topics: Code Basics, Building Envelope, Service Water Heating, Power, Lighting, HVAC, and COMcheck. Read more about Energy Code Training.
VINYL SIDING INSTITUTE ENERGY EFFICIENCY STUDY
The Vinyl Siding Institute commissioned Newport Ventures to perform a study that would valuate the energy efficiency of insulated siding as compared to fiber cement. Click here to read about the study's highlights.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY BUILDING AMERICA
When the U.S. Department of Energy went looking for a firm to facilitate their Building America quarterly all-teams meetings, they decided on Newport Ventures. Within this role, Newport Ventures assists Building America teams in strategizing, road mapping, and developing takeaways that provide program direction.
NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTIAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION MONITORING
Ventures staff specializes in assessing buildings for the most cost-effective options to enhance energy performance and reduce environmental impacts. Hoping to reduce the carbon footprint of its facilities, a national builder/property manager worked with Newport Ventures to conduct a sustainability assessment of its operations in New York State. As a follow on to this work, Newport Ventures has been actively monitoring the electricity consumption of several of the property management company’s homes – collecting data on individual load usage to identify site-specific opportunities for energy savings. It’s no secret that New York’s residents are using more electricity per capita than ever, but Newport’s work in this area is helping to identify cost effective opportunities for reducing this demand. In this case, some of the lowest hanging fruit included amending maintenance schedules, optimizing energy efficient lighting, educating tenants, and enhancing controls.
ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY CODES ANALYSIS
The green building movement has reached critical mass and is bursting into the mainstream with the development of new codes and standards that seek to transform custom strategies into prescriptive instructions. As industry players adjust to this new market reality, Newport Ventures has assisted them in conducting detailed analyses and modeling of such codes and standards as LEED for Homes, LEED NC, IECC, NAHB GBS, ASHRAE 90.1, and ASHRAE 189. These analyses have helped clients identify both threats and opportunities in the emerging green building market environment.
PATH TECH TRANSFER
US HUD conceived the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) as a public private initiative to drive innovation in housing. PATH’s Tech Transfer project represents one of their prime efforts at accelerating the development and transfer of technologies into the home building industry.Newport Ventures has facilitated round table discussions between researchers and manufacturers todiscover barriers as well as best practices to market penetration. Industry guidebooks fortech transfer will result.
In supporting a residential micro combined heat and power (mCHP) developer through this contract, a New York State market study was conducted to identify opportunities for mCHP. One of the main indicators of mCHP viability, the difference between the cost of natural gas and electricity, or “spark spread” is shown in the adjacent graphic. The analysis revealed that New York State represents one of the most conducive markets in the nation for mCHP.
PATH CONCEPT HOME
PATH’s Concept Home has been featured in over 75 national and international publications, television & radio programs, and conference presentations for its novel and market-oriented solutions to building green, flexible, durable, material efficient and energy efficient homes. Though partnerships with Newport Partners and Building Media, Inc., Newport Ventures developed and implemented innovative marketing and public relations strategies for the demonstration phase of the award winning PATH Concept Home. Newport Ventures also represents the PATH Concept Home on the PATH Marketing Committee.
IT SYSTEMS FOR HOMEBUILDERS
Today’s successful builders are often more savvy with spreadsheets than nail guns, because IT systems can have a big influence on the profitability of building firms. Newport’s staff recently conducted an analysis of homebuilder’s use of IT systems, common challenges they face, and keys to success. As part of this work, our staff conducted a case study with a growing NY builder to better understand how IT has helped them along the way. The findings from this study have been distributed both to homebuilders and IT software developers, so that they can better understand how their software can improve to meet builder’s needs.
MARKET RESEARCH ON CRITICAL BUILDING ISSUES: BUILDINGSURVEY.ORG
Our market research staff regularly assists in the development and analysis of online surveys that provide industry insight. Recent market research topics have covered green building, IT systems for homebuilders, and homeowner’s views on innovative technologies. Findings from our market analysis are used to inform private and public sector clients of emerging trends in the housing industry. | <urn:uuid:40b62312-bdde-41b5-978f-e6f4104edc28> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.newportventures.net/projects.html | 2013-05-22T14:39:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.930949 | 1,470 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

16 ft Tipi
The 16ft Tipi can give the feeling of space yet can still be easily transported. It will comfortably sleep up to four people and sit as many as 15.
The pole length is approx 21 ft and can take one to two hours for a complete set-up. It can give the feeling of a home away from home.
I have seen this size used for a creative living space for a couple and one child or pet.
A great space to use while building the dream home.

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Pasadena
Our server Stephanie was great.Our server Stephanie was great. She was highly attentive and quick to respond. Our only beef (pardon the pun) is that our Porterhouse for two felt like a Porterhouse for one. The portions were small. The Arroyo's porterhouse for two is a much more sizable steak and a better value.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat steaksMay 17, 2013
We have made it a point to visit Ruth’s Chris Steak houses in every city we have been to. We have never been disappointed.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place to celebrateI booked on open table.

My wife the sea bass cooked to perfection.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFinally good steak in PadadenaYou can always find good Italian, Californian, or any other Ethnic food you think about in Pasadena but finding a steak house was so limited. Either Houston's or Arroyo Chop house, the latter being higher scale. Ruth's is a the answer for a good steak, the meat was tender, delicious. The serving and the style is so similar to the Chop house even the prices. I preferred this one as the other one is dark and I prefer windows and light.
Our waiter was so friendly and knowledgeable, the hostess has a nice smile with pleasant welcoming face.
On the whole, great experience. We will go again5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed a romantic dinner.We enjoyed a romantic dinner. The food was excellent.

Putting your trust in a priest--not matter how wonderful he is--will always be a let down. Furthermore, it's an immature thing to do. Too often instead of doing the hard work of becoming saints ourselves we idolize someone who has become a saint or who we think is a saint. That's shallow and too easy. It's like a religious form of those teenage girls who scream and cry and faint when they see their boy pop idol. They mistake their own immature high octane emotions for real love. Likewise, when religious people idolize their parish priest or some media star they often mistake their love and admiration for that person for real religious emotion and fervor.Oh, he does look kinda like him.
It's bubble gum religion, and if God takes away your idol, well then you might just turn your eyes to the one true God instead. And that would do you, and your priest a favor.

I've tried over the years not to comment to much on current ecclesiastical events. First of all, focusing on certain aspects of the Church as it really is can be somewhat depressing. So, given this weekend's revelation (which I won't detail because it would give publicity where it doesn't need to be), the only thing I want to share comes from someone else; Fr. Longenecker at Standing on My Head Blog.

"Before becoming an activist, I did not have any support in confronting the injustices against women, which I noticed as a child. Only in activism I could find someone to be an affiliated with. I’m endlessly grateful to all feminists."
"What once was a shame for a man to do in a traditional Roma family, my husband today does, there is no division between male and female jobs and that is why I now have more free time for myself, I have a much larger circle of friends."
Ana Saćipović, activist, Association of Roma Women Osvit, Nis
"We have never said - We do this because someone has to pay us. No, we're doing this because we love to, because we want to, we do it because tomorrow someone will say - Oh, these are women who have given us help and support in a situation when we had the hardest time."
"Many older women in rural areas can not remember their names. When I ask them how they can not remember, they say, "Well, nobody called me by my name." "So how do they call you?" "They call me anyway, or by my husband's name or" Hey You ". All women in the villages have the same name - Hey you."
"When I became familiar with the peace activism of Women in Black, suddenly something cleared up in my head, seeing them as they have so much energy, how much enthusiasm, how long they fight, where they’ve been and planning to go and that they are constantly on the ground."
Danica Pupovac, activist, Roma Association Danica Pancevo
"Therefore I am Roma women and I went through all that Roma women are still going through today, I know how this tradition is negative ( brides sale, juvenile marriages, violence, isolation) and how it affects women, how women are treated in the family, as well as in institutions. I speak from personal experience and what I've survived I do not want for young Roma women to go through anymore."
Danica Jovanovic, activist, Roma Association Novi Becej
"Women who improved the quality of their lives and improved their chances for recovery from breast cancer, are actually the women who really started to change the relationships in their small communities, families, to change the gender roles."

HP‘s second PC of the morning is the Pavilion HPE h9 Phoenix, a glossy performance desktop which the company says is its fastest to-date. Toting a choice of Intel X79 or AMD 8-core processors, along with up to 16GB of DDR3 memory and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 graphics, the HPE h9 Phoenix also debuts an imposing tower case design with faux armor-plating and highlight lighting.
Like the Omni 27, the HPE h9 Phoenix gets HP’s freshly-renamed HP Magic Canvas interface and software suite, brought over from the touchscreen TouchSmart series and given a non-touch revamp. That’s joined by LinkUp, the company’s laptop-sync tool, and Beats Audio, while HP also preloads a copy of role-player RIFT.
A trio of internal hard-drive bays and optional liquid cooling round out the key specs, and there’s a useful “valet tray” on the top with charging ports for your phone or iPod and audio connections for easily plugging in headphones when the Phoenix is lurking under your desk. Expect it to go on sale on January 8, priced from $1,149.99. | <urn:uuid:4a8ba8f4-2bdc-4587-8cd7-0802093b2f51> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.slashgear.com/hp-pavilion-hpe-h9-phoenix-performance-pc-outed-04205847/ | 2013-05-22T14:19:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701852492/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105732-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.871507 | 255 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

LANSDALE - Consultants from Connecticut-based AMS Planning and Research have wasted no time in learning what Lansdale has to say.
They heard plenty from the public on Tuesday night, as AMS project manager Lynette Turner led a group discussion during their first meeting with the borough’s 311 West Main Street task force.
“It’s very important that this is a very transparent exercise, and we really want to hear what people have to say,” Turner said.
Last month, the task force hired AMS to guide it through the process of re-evaluating and rehabilitating the borough owned property at 311 W. Main Street, a former Masonic temple formerly operated as the Lansdale Center for the Performing Arts.
On Tuesday night, Turner laid out a timeline for public meetings and input that will culminate by late summer in a recommendation to the task force for future uses of that building, based on community input from surveys, interviews, and meetings like Tuesday night’s.
To spur discussion, Turner and AMS colleague Clint Studinger broke up an audience of about 40 borough residents, officials, and task force members into five small groups and asked each group to brainstorm ideas on three main discussion questions.
Task force members then shared the ideas produced by each group with the consultants and rest of the audience, which heard interesting answers to questions such as “What programming do you envision in a renovated arts center?”
Several groups echoed the same themes and mentioned a facility that operates all day every day, with theater programs and lesson spaces for adults and kids and space for musical, visual and performing arts. Task force member Lindsay Schweriner’s group mentioned the possibility of a television studio and space for cooking and makeup demonstrations, and member Mike Sobel’s group mentioned the possibility of an Internet cafe inside the building.
“We thought flexibility is the key to the programming in this renovated arts center, because certainly you want to focus a big piece on the performing arts, but you want things for children, adults, dance, comedy, lesson rooms, the visual arts, and education as well as displays,” said task force member Mary Fuller.
“One thing we hear a lot is that there’s nothing for teens to do, so let’s give them a place to come and do something, learn something or participate in something,” she added, where kids can drop in instead of signing up and find activities in a “professional facility with professional management.”
The second question from AMS asked groups to ponder “How can a renovated 311 W. Main impact downtown Lansdale?” Common responses included the economic impact of a destination for regional visitors and increasing pride, as well as property values, throughout the town.
“Hopefully it will attract more creative endeavors, and bring a few cool shops that cause people to stop while they’re driving down Main Street, and not just pass by but pull their car over, and walk over, and hopefully pass a few other businesses,” said task force member James Collins.
The third question was “What constitutes success for a renovated arts center?” and members focused on improving the quality of life for borough residents while providing an opportunity for local artists - and task force member Charles Booz said his group hoped the center could have a longer term impact.
“Success could be having someone attribute their life’s success from the venture we did here tonight - that someone can say ‘Hey, everything I’ve ever done in my life comes from the Lansdale Arts Center,” he said.
That idea was suggested during group discussion by John O’Hara, a borough resident who said he thought that type of impact could be made on both young and old by a new and successful arts center.
“I think it would be wonderful if five or ten years down the road, some grown adult man or woman who is successful in some field says ‘I’m successful because I started doing - whatever - at the arts center in Lansdale,’” he said.
“Maybe they were artists and became architects, it could be anything, but I think success is whatever happens to that child,” O’Hara said.
Sobel said after the meeting that he was impressed by the turnout and creativity of Tuesday night’s discussions, and said that more input is welcome as AMS leads the task force through the planning process.
“As diverse as this was, there were a lot of commonalities, and that’s going to help these folks draw us in and give us a real direction to go in. I was very pleased, very happy, very impressed with what I saw,” he said.
The task force’s next meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on May 8 at the borough’s Parks and Recreation building, located at 7th Street and Lansdale Avenue. For more information, visit www.Lansdale.0rg.

Tracy High School graduating senior Manjot Bagri is this year’s recipient of the $2,000 Timothy Mason Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship is given annually by the Rudy Mason family in memory of their son, Timothy, who was killed in 1999 at the age of 21 in a convenience store robbery.
Bagri, who is among the top 10 graduates of Tracy High this year, will use the money to help pay her expenses at UCLA, where she will enroll as a freshman in the fall to pursue a double major in biology and kinesiology. She aims to attend medical school.
At Tracy High, the daughter of Satwinderjeet and Soman Bagri earned Block T awards for academics, music and community service and was the top prosecutor for the Tracy High mock trial team. She played basketball and tennis and performed on the clarinet in the school concert and marching bands.
Bagri chaired the Tracy Youth Advisory Commission and created and conducted the Amazing Race Summer Camp. She was president and choreographer of the Desi Club Indian cultural dance team. Bulldog graduates from UOP with great praise

Idaho police make arrest in monkey's death
Michael J. Watkins, 22, faces two felony charges
Police in Boise, Idaho, said late Monday that they have made an arrest in connection with a break-in at a local zoo and the death of a patas monkey there.
Michael J. Watkins, 22, faces two felony charges, burglary and grand theft.
"I speak for many of us in the police department and the community who were angered and outraged over this senseless crime," said Boise Police Chief Michael Masterson. "As usual, it was a combination of a citizen tip and good police work that led us to the arrest in this case."
Police were called to Zoo Boise early Saturday morning by a guard who reported a burglary in progress. The security guard saw two men, one inside the zoo and one outside. They ran.
During an unsuccessful search for the man inside the zoo, police and zoo employees found a patas monkey that was seriously injured near an exhibit where the suspect was last seen. The animal died; the cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head and neck.
Following citizen tips and information gleaned from the investigation, police arrested Watkins in Washington County, Idaho, where he remains in custody.
He has injuries on his upper torso, but police have not yet been able to determine the cause of those injuries, Masterson said.
The police chief declined to speculate on the suspect's motives. He said he does not expect the other man the guard saw at the zoo to be criminally charged.
Zoo Boise still has one patas monkey that the staff is giving extra attention in the wake of the other's death.
"For the short time, he is OK being by himself, but that's not a long-term solution. Monkeys need to be housed in social groups, and so ... we are actively trying to find another patas monkey that we might be able to bring the zoo," said Steve Burns, the zoo's director.
He said members of his staff were confused and angry when he first told them what happened.
"They kept asking why and I didn't have an answer for them," he said.
