JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Even though the Jacksonville City Council decided earlier this month not to ban concerts at Metropolitan Park, some changes for the park could be in store in the near future.
A new committee has been formed to address its issues.
Metro Park can be loud when music is playing, and people across the river have come to expect that and put up with it for the most part. But sometimes, they say, it's too much, and that's what they want to see changed.
Katherine Moore owns a house across the river. She loves being there and loves most of the events that take place on the other side of the water. But she says recently two concert events have gone too far.
Moore points to the Rockville concerts at the park, saying it's not the loud music she's concerned about, but the dialog between bands, the fact that it goes on past midnight, and the constant profanity they say they hear across the river.
She doesn't want to see all events banned, but just wants the city to figure out how to bring the events in line.
"This is an absolute step in the right direction," Moore said of forming the committee. "It just, these isolated two events that they currently have under the city's noise exemption carte blanche. So how do we help make it a win-win so it does not take time away from me being in my backyard with my family?"
That's what the city hopes to find out. The head of the committee is councilwoman Denise Lee, who is looking for input from all sides.
"We are just concerned that we not make rash decisions, that we not just shoot from the hip, that we make sure we have done our homework so that when we are all gone, Metropolitan Park is still here and the citizens are united enough to want and see a Metropolitan Park," Lee said.

Kings of the road: RV couriers get paid to travel
Ken and Daria Dolan are widely known as America's First Family of Personal Finance.
Daria and I were shocked at the number of you who emailed us in response to our Four creative ways to travel for free post . Seems lots of you are intrigued by the idea of traveling the country for free as an RV courier.
Then again, what's not to like about getting paid to travel?!
So today let's talk about whether being an RV courier is right for you and how you can get started. We called America's #1 expert on the subject to get the full story and we've got some great tips for you.
Let's start with three things you need to know about being an RV courier:
1.) This may be the best job no one's ever heard about! Who DOESN'T want a job with good pay, flexible hours, steady work and a chance to travel the country for free? Even in this tough economy, there are about 5,000 new drivers needed each month.
2.) Becoming an RV courier is easier than you think. If you are over 18, have a valid driver's license with a good driving record, and like to drive, you're in! Unless you are going to drive something about as big as a Greyhound bus, you don't even need a special commercial license.
3.) It's a job for the ages. Are you a student? RV couriering is a great summer job. Have a regular 9-5 job? Make some extra money on the weekends. Retired? Grab your sweetie, see the country and put a little extra money in your pocket.
Now for some nitty-gritty. The company you work for will pay for insurance, fuel and (if it's a one-way drop off) your trip back home. They'll also pay you, of course! Most companies pay by the mile, and you can use 35 cents/mile as a good average.
Unlike truck drivers, this is a low stress endeavor. You won't be pressured by the company to deliver your vehicle on a crazy schedule. They want safe drivers who will come back again and again.
Still reading? If so, sounds like this might be serious. That means our expert Craig Chilton is your next stop. Craig started as an RV courier 30 years ago on his summer break from teaching and has stayed with it ever since. He literally wrote THE book on the subject How to Get Paid $50,000 a Year to Travel and has developed a driver placement network that connects wannabe drivers with companies that need them.
Visit www.roadrat.com to learn more and to take his job aptitude test to find out whether becoming an RV courier is right for you.
If you do decide to hit the road, send us a postcard or email us your pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com. And be sure to email us with your experiences so we can share them here!
Ken and Daria Dolan have hosted their own national radio program for 22 years, anchored their own television shows on CNN, authored six books on money matters, served as money contributors on CBS This Morning and have now launched a comprehensive web site and free e-letter at Dolans.com.

Welcome to the
|Established in 1988, the Blue Coat Pancake House opened as a more casual dining option continuing a tradition of great food for which its upscale sister operation -- the beloved award-winning Blue Coat Inn -- was already immensely popular.
The name was updated to the Countrie Eatery to reflect its success at filling the void between fast food and upscale dining establishments.
The Dover family which created and successfully operated the historic Blue Coat Inn for nearly 37 years continues to operate the Countrie Eatery.
The comfortable country atmosphere decorated with cows, pigs, horses, and items of local interest takes you back to a more unhurried time as you relax and enjoy wholesome dishes prepared to order.
We continue to use quality ingredients in the preparation of our food and at the same time strive to keep our prices reasonable. Children can order from their own menu. We offer a variety of daily specials as well as a wide selection of luscious desserts -- some even sugar free -- all baked on the premises.
The Countrie Eatery serves breakfast all day everyday, satisfying lunches and hearty dinners. Please stop in soon for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We look forward to your visit.

Tue, September 10, 2019, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
The 41st annual Healdsburg Farmers' Market opens for the season at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 4th. The West Plaza lot will come alive with an abundance of delicious and nutritious bounty, entertainment, education and more.
One of California's original twenty-two farmers' markets, the Healdsburg Farmers' Market opened in July 1978, when the village and surrounding area were strictly agricultural. The market was a major weekly event which the whole town attended, whether you were a producer or a consumer. Almost everyone who sold at the market farmed or produced their goods within miles of it.
In 2019 the Healdsburg Certified Farmers' Market is still considered a vital part of the community, and a weekly reminder of a simpler time in our town's history. Filled with produce and an impressive selection of flowers, almost all grown in the immediate area, the aim of our market is to help our shoppers to keep their footprint small and to showcase what's possible to grow in this region.
What's a certified farmers' market? This means the people selling you the produce are the growers. They didn't buy it from a big agricultural producer and bring it to the market. Their farming practices are more environmentally sound and their operations more family-based.
Excellent food producers are a big part of the market, most of whom are local as well. Look for an abundance of meat, seafood, baked goods, pasta, condiments and other edibles. Delicious prepared food and fresh coffee is available, so coming down for breakfast, or brunch is a treat. Sit and enjoy a meal or snack at our 'coloring and poetry' tables, set up each week for creative artwork or musings.
Beautiful craft is also featured, with the artisans being part of a seasonal rotation, so each week has a new group of potters, jewelers, clothing makers, and more. All work is made by the applying artist. The Healdsburg Market does not allow imports or mass manufactured goods.
An exciting addition to the Healdsburg Markets this season is a series of educational demonstrations. Some may involve local chefs preparing market goods. Some may teach salsa or tamale making, and others will focus on nutritional information. The goal is to give our attendees more understanding of what the market has to offer.
Many local musicians perform each week: blues, folk, jazz, even Hawaiian music. Healdsburg favorites like Chris Herrod, John Youngblood, Hank Levine and Robin Rogers will play during the season.
On May 28th our Tuesday Market-on-the-Plaza will open, so more information on that will be forthcoming.
To get the latest updates, follow us on Facebook and check our website . For more information email email@example.com or call 707 824-8717.

Romine's Tigers debut delayed by rain
DETROIT -- Mother Nature does not seem to be an Andrew Romine fan.
On the day Romine was slated to make his first start at shortstop for the Tigers, a cold, rainy afternoon washed out Thursday's series finale against the Royals, giving Alex Gonzalez his scheduled off-day but keeping Romine off the field as well.
As a result, Romine will go at least a week without getting into a game. His most recent game was last Friday against the Rays. He played in five games down the stretch in Tigers camp after coming over from the Angels, but Detroit's need to see Gonzalez at shortstop tempered his playing time.
Considering Romine was competing for a utility infield job with the Angels before his trade to the Tigers, he knows how to stay game-ready, having learned from Maicer Izturis on his way up before Izturis went to Toronto.
"Being a guy who comes into the game is a lot different preparation than a guy who starts it," Romine said. "My whole life I had been a starter; almost all of us were. So to be switching over to a bench guy, it's a totally different mindset. To watch him and talk to him was really special, because that guy is so calm and collected in the way that he went about things. He never let his emotions take over. Most of what I got from him was mental."
While Romine has not found his role on the Tigers' roster yet -- partly the left-handed hitting complement to Gonzalez, partly a backup to Ian Kinsler at second base -- he has found a comfort level in the clubhouse, which he credits to the atmosphere and team chemistry.
"It's really weird, because I had been with the same organization from Day 1, so when I came here I didn't know what to expect," he said. "Basically they just kind of accepted me from Day 1 and let me into their clubhouse and into their team. It's fun, man. I didn't expect it. Torii [Hunter] was basically the only guy that I knew before I came here."

The USS Intrepid (NCC-1631) was a Federation Template:ShipClass starship crewed almost entirely by Vulcans. (TOS: "The Immunity Syndrome")
In 2267, the Intrepid was undergoing repairs in maintenance section 18 at Starbase 11. The base commander, Commodore Stone, rescheduled the Intrepid's repairs, upon giving the USS Enterprise "Priority 1" status on stardate 2947.3, after being damaged in an ion storm. (TOS: "Court Martial")
In 2268, the Intrepid worked in conjunction with Starbase 6, in conducting a mission to investigate the loss of contact with solar system Gamma 7A in Sector 39J. While traversing that sector of space, the Intrepid encountered an unknown dark zone which was, unbeknownst at the time, slowly killing the ship's crew.
On stardate 4307.1, Starbase 6 lost contact with the Intrepid. A rescue priority was issued to the Enterprise to investigate the loss of the Intrepid in an unknown dark zone. En route, Commander Spock telepathically sensed the crew of 400 Vulcans die.
On stardate 4309.2, the Enterprise established that the thing which destroyed the Intrepid and the Gamma 7A system was an incredibly huge but simple cellular being whose energies are totally destructive to all known life. The crew of the Enterprise destroyed the form, which was determined to be nourishing itself for reproduction. (TOS: "The Immunity Syndrome")
|Constitution-class starships
|USS Ahwahnee • USS Constellation • USS Defiant • USS Eagle • USS Emden • USS Endeavour • USS Enterprise • USS Enterprise-A • USS Excalibur • USS Exeter • USS Hood • USS Intrepid • USS Korolev • USS Lexington • USS Potemkin • NCC-1700 • Unnamed
|Mirror universe: USS Defiant • ISS Enterprise
|Alternate reality: USS Enterprise • USS Enterprise-A • Unnamed
The Star Trek Encyclopedia described this vessel as a Template:ShipClass starship, with a registry of NCC-1631 (diagram) or NCC-1831 (list). The registry NCC-1831 is seen in the chart in TOS: "Court Martial". Unfortunately, the chart doesn't provide names to the registries. Greg Jein also originally used 1631. See the Template:ShipClass article for the full explanation. The Star Fleet Technical Manual assigned NCC-1708 to the vessel. According to the Manual, this ship's successor was to be called USS Intrepid II NCC-1730 and to be Constitution-class.
Due to the crew count of 430 that the producers of TOS mentioned in the dialog for "The Immunity Syndrome," it is a likely assumption they intended this vessel to be Constitution-class. This was confirmed by the appearance of the ship in TOS: "Court Martial" remastered, where the USS Intrepid is seen in orbit of Starbase 11 with the registry NCC-1631.
Like the Intrepid, the USS Hera and USS T'Kumbra also had a predominantly Vulcan crews. According the Star Trek Concordance by Bjo Trimble, the captain of the Intrepid was Satak. This reference, like that of the similarly-referenced IKS Devisor, may have been acquired from an early draft of the script. Worlds of the Federation by Shane Johnson refers to a captain of this vessel being named Spiak.
The fact that we do not see any Vulcans on Starbase 11 in "Court Martial" may be due to the fact that Vulcans do not believe in the concept of shore leave, as Spock described in "Shore Leave".
The Star Trek: Phase II episode Deadlock was set to open with the Enterprise receiving a distress call (which later turned out to be fake) from the Intrepid, which by that point had been presumed destroyed for nearly five years.
The Intrepid may have been named after any number of Royal Navy (HMS Intrepid) or US Navy (USS Intrepid) vessels which had borne the name. The lunar module of NASA's Apollo 12 was also known as Intrepid. In all cases, the name signified a willingness to go in harm's way to accomplish a mission of great importance.
Several novels mention the second Constitution-class Intrepid, such as My Enemy, My Ally and Prime Directive (Pocket TOS). Prime Directive has the under-construction Intrepid's nacelles diverted to be attached as replacements on the Enterprise, and My Enemy, My Ally describes Intrepid, under Captain Suvuk, as being slightly more advanced than the as yet un-refit Enterprise of that era. My Enemy, My Ally refers to Intrepid, named so for the ship destroyed by the giant amoeba, as NCC-1631 a number previously used in Greg Jein's original article and FASA manuals. FASA's Enterprise-class Intrepid had the registry NCC-1707 and would be in service around this time.
The novel Vulcan's Forge mentions a ship in the 2290s named Intrepid II that is an Template:ShipClass starship under command of Captain Spock. After his resignation, he proposes Uhura to be its new captain.

Registration is now open at www.semiconwest.org without charge until May 10; registration fees apply starting May 11.
The semiconductor industry is simultaneously addressing the most complex challenges in its history: EUV lithography, new transistor architectures, stacked 3D-ICs, and 450mm wafer transition. At the same time, adjacent markets in LED, MEMS and printed/flexible electronics are approaching technology crossroads — and new, post-CMOS alternatives to extend Moore's Law are in the early stages of development. Reconciling these multiple R&D demands are transforming old R&D strategies and accelerating new organizational models, skill set requirements, consortia options, partnership strategies, global sourcing tactics, and other approaches to managed innovation.
SEMICON West addresses these new R&D approaches through a variety of keynote presentations, panel discussions, technical presentations, and collaboration sessions including:
- Silicon Innovation Forum: Organized by the industry's leading strategic investment groups, this first-time forum provides a platform to connect new and emerging companies with strategic investors, venture capitalists and industry leaders.
- Consortia Views: For the first time anywhere, leaders from the industry's top consortia — SEMATECH, imec and CEA-Leti — will share their views on collaborative R&D and the future of semiconductor technology.
- Keynote Perspectives: Ajit Manocha, CEO, GLOBALFOUNDRIES
- Essential R&D Process Sessions: Nano-Defect Detection and Lab-to-Fab Solutions
- Latest Technology Updates: Industry leaders will share the latest updates on lithography scaling and productivity, processing requirements for nonplanar transistors, 2.5/3D stacked ICs, and 450mm wafer processing.
- ITRS Public Sessions: The most critical technology innovation targets as identified the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors.
- New Technology Sessions: Learn about the latest R&D opportunities and challenges in LEDs, MEMS, printed/flexible electronics, silicon photonics, and more.
SEMICON West is the annual tradeshow for the micro- and nano-electronics manufacturing industries. Last year, over 30,000 attended the event and over 500 companies exhibited the latest innovations and solutions for advanced manufacturing. For the sixth year, SEMICON West will be co-located with Intersolar North America, the leading solar technology conference and exhibition in the U.S. Every major semiconductor manufacturer, foundry, fabless company, equipment and materials supplier — plus leading companies in LEDs, MEMS, displays, printed/flexible electronics, PV, and other emerging technologies — attend SEMICON West.

You betcha: Is gambling our real national sport?
Most of us celebrate on July 4, but American institutions like the NFL, the NBA, and the Los Angeles Dodgers face uncertain futures and had little reason to shoot off fireworks.
When America's big three– football, basketball and baseball– fall victim to lockouts and bankruptcy, where can a sports fan turn to feel patriotic? Believe it or not, there's something more American than baseball or football, something that has been with us since 1607 and has never experienced a dip in popularity (at least in private).
Americans bet on anything and everything. According to InTrade.com, on Friday, July 1, we were betting Dominique Strauss-Kahn had a 7 percent chance of being found guilty of at least one charge (down 43.7 percent and $1.31 a share from June 30) and 1:5 odds that Steve Jobs will step down as Apple's CEO by December 31.
According to People of Chance, gambling was rampant in Colonial America. Games of chances were so popular that English financiers suspected it was why the colonies couldn't sustain themselves. Captain John Smith noticed a problem early, and in 1610 Virginia adopted laws to curtail gambling. But its popularity was too strong (the colony tried again in 1612 and 1619). Recent digs at Jamestown turned up 12 dice and remnants of a pegged gambling game.
Having had 21 years to learn from Virginia, the Massachusetts Bay Colony banned gambling immediately, outlawing cards and dice the first year of the colony's existence. But even fiery Puritans fell victim to the siren song; after one year, the colony reneged and allowed recreational gambling, though it was still illegal to hustle.
Cards as we know them date from the 14th century, and dice have been around since time immemorial (a set excavated in Iran was at least 3,000 years old by the time Roman soldiers rolled dice for Jesus' robe), so there is nothing particularly patriotic about whist or backgammon (though rook, poker, and gin rummy are American inventions as is the Dead Man's Hand).
It's not the method that makes gambling the great American pastime; it's the rabid desire.
Back in 1628, New Englanders were lashed (with a whip!) if they were caught with cards or dice, but what the Puritans failed to recognize is that one doesn't need cards or dice to gamble. Bones, sticks, matches, pretzels, two horses (heck, one horse), a gust of wind and a crumb-toting insect. All one needs to gamble is the desire. And that's something Americans have always had in spades (no pun intended).
The only thing Americans love more than watching (and arguing about) sports is betting on sports. Nevada alone clears more than $20 billion a year in sports gambling, and lockouts and bankruptcies provide new opportunities to indulge.
How long will the lockouts last? Who will fold first? Will Bud Selig take over the Dodgers, or will Frank McCourt find a way to hang on? (Current odds are 3:1 that Mark Cuban will buy the team.) The gambling possibilities are endless, and if history serves, Americans will take advantage of every one.
And why not? America itself was a gamble, a political and philosophical roll of the dice funded with lottery money from all 13 colonies. Ben Franklin did it, George Washington did it; even Thomas Jefferson noted his gambling wins and losses in his account books (he never could beat James Madison at horseshoes).
Undoubtedly, the NFL and the NBA will play again, and someone will rescue the storied Dodgers from the chopping block. But until those days come, Americans will continue do what we have always done best: bet on it.

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan -- A small sun canopy rippled violently over his head. The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle jostled him between the walls of his gun turret.
It was his first mission in Afghanistan, and Cpl. Kenneth Benton, a technical controller with Combat Logistics Regiment 2, Regional Command (Southwest), found himself in the solitary position as the gunner covering the rear of a more than 20 vehicle convoy.
Cramped in the claustrophobia inducing walls of his turret, the Greensboro, N.C., native hunkered behind his M-240 machine gun and scanned the menagerie of Afghan vehicles milling behind his truck.
A haze of "moon dust" sand filtered through the small gap at his waste, clouding Benton as he scanned the exposed rear of the convoy. Anything and everything could be a threat - or simply people carrying out the menial chores of life.
"It was something different that I never expected before," said Benton. "You have to calm yourself down, remain level headed, and stay vigilant."
He grimaced through the welder's mask he used to shield his face from the pelting desert sand, his solitary machine gun pivoting – left and right, left and right.
"We are in their country, and we can't just take over their roads," said Benton, who admitted the traffic gave him a case of the nerves. "You learn to deal with it … You really have to keep an eye open for anything that doesn't look right, but at the same time you have to understand that they're here. They're going to stay here. This is they're country."
The entire convoy pressed forward as Benton stared back into the cloud of dust kicked up by the line of vehicles. Infants balanced on bicycle handles while their parents moved from one Afghan village to the next. Small cars darted between the looming American trucks as Benton called down possible threats to the crew inside.
"It can get hot and dusty sometimes, but it's not too bad," he said with a smirk. "It's manageable."
The constant exposure to the arid climate and dust blistered Benton's skin, and the thick armored hull nearly deafened him to the voices of Marines inside his vehicle. The crew bellow passed up a steady stream of water bottles to keep him hydrated and alert.
They trusted him. He relied on them.
"You just have to hold on and hopefully your driver can tell you when he's going to come on a pretty good bump," he said. "We pretty much have to yell at each other back and forth. If I see anything, I yell it down. If there's anything I need to know, they'll yell it up to me."
The convoy pushed through the desert, making it to Forward Operating Base Shukvani without encountering any improvised explosive devices or gunfire. Approximately three hours later, Benton climbed back into his sunbaked turret, the convoy's vehicles reformed, and they pushed back toward Camp Leatherneck and toward the looming darkness of night.
Any vehicle that posed a threat on the way to Shukvani during the day could just as easily wait in the growing shadows on the way back. Without the glow of modern city lighting, the desert descended into a nerve-racking black wall. Benton turned on his night-vision equipment and continued to scan the convoy's flank.
"Our job in the convoy is pretty much to provide security for the assets and the Marines," said Benton. "The training we've had before definitely helps now. I would not be in the same sense that I am now [without it]."
Nearly a full day after setting out for FOB Shukvani, Benton's convoy finally approached Camp Leatherneck, where the Marines could clear out their vehicles, prepare for their next operation, and relax.
The appeal of rest and warm food was palpable with the base in sight. For Benton, it was also fleeting.
Nearly two miles from safety, a vehicle dropped out of the convoy with a broken mine roller. A moment of silence over the radio gave voice to the unspoken groan that went through the convoy. Someone needed to remain behind and provide security for the recovery crews, some vehicle at the rear of the convoy with a turret gunner … Benton.
His armored vehicle pulled a wide turn and blocked the road leading to the downed vehicle. Several other trucks followed suit and formed a 360 degree perimeter around the recovery crew working on the mine roller.
More than an hour passed with no sign of activity along the road. However, by 3 a.m., the road had come to life with a line of vehicles approaching Benton's position. Identifying individual threats on the lightless road was nearly impossible.
Unable to verbally communicate with the oncoming traffic, Benton turned to his training in an effort to defuse the situation. He used light signals to redirect cars and cargo laden trucks. His beam of light formed a line in the sand. Benton directed the beam into vehicles that failed to change course, halted them, and waved them off the road.
Aware he may need to use his weapon in self-defense at any moment, the lonely turret gunner continued to halt and redirect traffic for more than five hours.
The sun rose over the desert and the line of traffic vanished almost as suddenly as it appeared. The Marines managed to remove and hoist the damaged equipment onto a truck before more traffic appeared.
More than a day after mounting their vehicles for the logistics patrol, the remaining Marines returned to the relative safety of Camp Leatherneck.

Live ordnance is not something you'd typically want to have driving around, but a bargain basement exotic like today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Lotus Esprit, could easily grenade your wallet at any time. The question is, does its purchase price pull the pin?
Many of you living outside the United States probably take small fuel-efficient diesels for granted, there being plenty from which to choose. Here however, if we want uber-high mileage we have to go with something called a bicycle as our small cars don't seem to get all that much better mileage than those the next size up. That's what made yesterday's special guest VW Polo SDI so intriguing. Unfortunately, not even the prospect of fuel tickling $5 a gallon by Memorial day could make its nearly twelve grand price palatable, and that Pennsylvania Polo took home a Consho-honkin' big 89% Crack Pipe loss. Geez, you probably hate Polo by Ralph Lauren too.
Ralph, of course, has a car collection that makes Jay Leno's look like Urkel's Hot Wheels collection, and if you want to be like the fashion magnate you might just start with this Lotus Esprit Turbo which packs what the seller claims is a rebuilt 910s. It's also fly yellow and sports a set of gold BBS basketweaves that are so '80s they probably hum Duran Duran when they spin.
The Turbo edition of Lotus' long-serving Esprit wasn't just an S3 with a garrett snail bolted on, it received an imperial tonne of other changes as well. The front suspension was reworked to offer better geometry and fewer Triumph Herald parts, while the rear portion of the steel backbone frame was widened like a college freshman's ass to accommodate the V8 engine Lotus was intent to get out of its dreams and into its cars.
This one however comes with that DOHC, turbocharged 2.2-litre whose lineage dates back to the early '70s. The seller makes no mention of model year, but seeing as the engine sports the Chargecooler air-to-water intercooler, it's a post '90 engine. That means it has the Delco electronic fuel injection and EMS. That also means that the claimed 200-mile four pumps out somewhere in the neighborhood of 280-bhp. Behind the rebuilt pressure cooker is Renault's UN1-16 5-speed gearbox, and that whole hot mess is good for flinging the car from a standstill to sixty in about six an a half seconds.
The rest of the car (which is a pre-'90 body style) is claimed, in the less than 20 word ad, to be in perfect condition. Now, I have know from personal experience that no Esprit is ever in perfect condition, each having some evil lurking within like a Shillelagh-toting Leprechaun ready to knee cap you at the first opportunity. What will it be with this car - the sunroof leaking? An interior returning to its base elements before your eyes? Or perhaps my own personal favorite, a massive electrical fire, on the freeway! Whatever the cause, with an old Lotus failure is never a case of if but of when, and usually how much collateral damage it can cause. Call it the Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman curse.
Perhaps however, this Esprit will be different, having possibly escaped that gypsy hex. After all it does have an engine with but 200 miles on it, and the reason for the sale is claimed to be due to a move, not an empty bank account. And who wouldn't want to join the ranks of the exotic car set - rubbing elbows with the likes of Ralph Lauren and those fat guys who wear sunglasses at night that inexplicably and almost exclusively comprise the bidders at the big auctions?
And to do so will only cost you $12,000.
What do you think, is that a price that might get you to assume the Lotus position? Or, does that make this Esprit es-pensive?
You decide!

Doing early press for the black and white, stop-motion animated 3D film Frankenweenie, due out on October 5th, questions for director Tim Burton naturally turned to what he might decide to focus on next. While we will post that portion of the interview on May 9th, I can say that the nearly 30 minutes of footage that we saw was as adorable, twisted and witty as you would expect, and I can't wait to see the full-length feature.
When asked about whether or not he's started to think about what his next film will be, Burton said that he's going to take a break because he thinks it's embarrassing that he has three movies coming out this year. He also talked about the fact that Seth Grahame-Smith is working on writing Beetlejuice 2, and that he might be interested in getting involved depending on what he thinks of the script, and that Big Eyes is in the works, but that you never know what will be ready to go next. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
Question: This is a very busy time for you, with two movies coming out this year that you directed (Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie) and one that you produced (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter). Have you started to look forward yet?
Tim Burton: No. I think I should [take a break].
Will you have any involvement on Beetlejuice 2?
Burton: Seth [Grahame-Smith] is writing something. I just told him, because it was something where I liked the character, he'd probably have a better response. He has ideas about it, so I just wanted to let him respond to it and see what he comes up with.
Is that something you'd be interested in doing, if you like what he comes up with?
Burton: If it was interesting. Although, I don't know if I would ever know a good script if it bit me in the face. But, I know what I like, so we'll see.
There was a rumor about you possibly doing a Pinocchio movie with Robert Downey, Jr. Is that just a rumor?
Burton: I'm very busy, aren't I? It's kind of embarrassing that I have three movies [this year]. I'm sick of me, already. We'll let these come out, and then I'll go away and you guys can deal with other people.
Is Big Eyes going to happen?
Burton: Oh, I don't know. There are a lot of projects in the works. But, when some things are 10 years in the making, you're not quite sure when it's happening.

Born: 1924, Bielsko, Poland
Describes liberation in Czechoslovakia by U.S. soldier [Interview: 1990]
In 1939, Gerda's brother was deported for forced labor. In June 1942, Gerda's family was deported from the Bielsko ghetto. While her parents were transported to Auschwitz, Gerda was sent to the Gross-Rosen camp system, where for the remainder of the war she performed forced labor in textile factories. Gerda was liberated after a death march, wearing the ski boots her father insisted would help her to survive.

"Bracing…calls to mind books like Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney, and especially Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis…As spectacle [the book] easily trumps both…Mr. Duff proves a fine wordsmith: his prose is smooth, lean and rhythmic…An entertaining and cautionary tale, well worth your time."
—Bryan Burrough, The New York Times
"A heavyweight confessional about the perils of a life spent chasing the almighty dollar…even though the author's brutal honesty about his increasingly chaotic personal life is commendable, it's really more his vivid portrait of the everyday inner workings of life at a hedge fund that fascinates…A fast-paced memoir of the easy-money hypercapitalist dream-turned-nightmare."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Looking for a Hollywood-worthy account of Wall Street with lots of juicy details about the high life? Duff, a former financial trader who climbed the ranks at several major firms, provides a fascinating glimpse into the trader's life as he narrates his journey from smalltown boyhood in Kennebunk, Maine, to hitting the jackpot in Manhattan, to succumbing to the poisons of success…[This] fast-paced tale will absorb readers…a wild ride."
—Publishers Weekly
"This is why I keep my money safe and sound under the mattress. You could get high just reading this book. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Wall Street traders."
—James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls
"Turney Duff is a natural storyteller, and his tale of how a naive kid from Maine traded in L.L. Bean for Armani and got sucked into the seamy side of Wall Street is almost impossible to put down. The book is by turns hilarious, harrowing, maddening, and illuminating. After this debut, the smart money will be on Duff."
—Bethany McLean, New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Guys in the Room and All the Devils Are Here
"Turney Duff's The Buy Side picks up where the Academy Award-winning film about systemic corruption on Wall Street, 'Inside Job', leaves off. Duff, who at one time was the promising rookie on the trading desk at troubled hedge fund Galleon, gives us a front-row seat to the Street's dark side—but the tale also features a personal story that will have you cheering as Duff fights his way through a jungle of excess and figures out what really matters. To all those who want to rule the market not just during business hours but after hours, beware—you may not have Duff's survival skills."
—Lawrence G. McDonald, New York Times bestselling author of A Colossal Failure of Common Sense
"The Buy Side takes the reader on an extremely wild ride so eloquently and honestly that we never want it to end. Cocaine wants everything you love and everything that loves you. Turney Duff had everything and nothing while trading billions of dollars on a razor's edge. His book takes you from Wall Street to Skid Row to the Thompson Hotel—and then, mercifully, back to sanity and finding a place in the world. Hang on, The Buy Side is gonna move you around, and there are no seatbelts to keep you from getting hit hard."
—Brian O'Dea, author of High: Confessions of an International Drug Smuggler
"The Buy Side is 'Wall Street' meets 'Breaking Bad'—except that this book is fact not fiction. Turney Duff yields to temptation at every turn, and the sheer volume of criminal behavior he saw, and even participated in, is astonishing…If you want to see Wall Street's seamy underbelly firsthand, read this book."
—Frank Partnoy, bestselling author of F.I.A.S.C.O and Infectious Greed
"If you took Gordon Gekko, Bud Fox, a copy of Bright Lights, Big City, and threw them in a blender with an ounce of cocaine, a bottle of Patron Tequila, and your favorite teddy bear you'd have yourself a Buy Side smoothie. Turney's my kind of guy; a madman with heart. I couldn't put the book down."
—Colin Broderick, author of Orangutan
"Does Wall Street make people crazy or are crazy people simply attracted to Wall Street? The Buy Side doesn't get us any closer to answering that question, but along the way we get a look inside perhaps the most ethically-challenged investment firm in recent memory, and a harrowing journey through drug addiction and recovery. This is not a musical comedy; at the end, you're just relieved that Duff is alive."
—Jared Dillian, author of Street Freak: Money and Madness at Lehman Brothers
"Turney Duff's The Buy Side is the perfect parable for Wall Street's lost decade. Duff's account of his rise and fall has it all, from a fast-paced coke-crazed trip through Manhattan nightlife that conjures Bright Lights, Big City, to an eyewitness account of insider trading and front running that reads like a federal indictment. Broke but not broken, Duff ends up better than others on Wall Street have—sober, chastened, and lucky to be alive after the self-destructive excesses of easy money and empty ambition."
—Guy Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of Octopus

5 tips for the hunt
1. Make finding a job your new job.
2. Tell everybody you're job hunting.
3. Search online but also press the flesh.
4. Consider jobs outside your field.
5. During phone interviews, stand up to project more energy.
You're out of work. You're hardly alone. Through the first 11 months of 2008, the nation's economy lost 1.9 million jobs.
That means that just like it's a buyer's market for houses, where home shoppers can be extra choosy, the recession makes it an employer's market for new hires.
It's no time to dwell on the negative, though. Experts say there are strategies and techniques to conquering joblessness.
Even during a severe economic downturn, organizations have positions to fill, and after the shock of the pink slip has worn off, it will be your assignment to get noticed and get hired.
You can break down the process into several steps:
•File for unemployment insurance benefits right away. Depending on your eligibility, that money is there for you for a half-year and maybe longer.
•Pause, don't panic. Take a little time to get over the trauma and get ready for the next stage in your career.
•Start the search process, mapping out a plan with the same seriousness with which you would undertake a project while working for an employer.
It won't necessarily be easy. Career counselors say hiring is taking longer than usual, a fact they attribute both to an employer's aim to get the right person the first time and to the large number of applicants. Indeed, in November in Illinois, there were more than three unemployed people for every job vacancy advertised online, according to The Conference Board.
But a key step comes early: assessing your skills and figuring out how they translate into different jobs and industries. Particularly during a recession, it's not smart to pigeonhole yourself into believing you can only work in the field you just left. You've got to believe your skills will benefit other industries.
"If you're an assertive-type person in this market, is that an advantage? Yes," said Maxine Topper, supervisor of career counselors for Jewish Vocational Service. "People have to be more aware of where they fit, where they are going [career-wise] and the needs of the employer. [Hiring managers] have a job to fill and they have a ton of people standing in line for that job."
Joy Ashner has been out of work since September, when her employer eliminated her position as a logistics supervisor. Rather than wallowing in self-pity, she has decided to embrace her job hunt by looking forward to what opportunities it may bring her.
"You really just need to pick up and get going," she said. "You need to put the past behind you."
She's calling people she hasn't talked to in a decade, telling them about her jobless status and her abilities. She's taking classes to advance her computer skills and using professional networking Web site LinkedIn to find people to speak with.
She also attends networking groups offered by career counseling centers. And while she has discovered that searching for a job is a full-time job in itself, she has taken some solace in meeting others in the same spot.
"I have met so many really smart, really nice people," Ashner said. "It's all different levels, it could be a CFO and it could be somebody working in a factory. It doesn't matter and everybody's in the same boat."
Career counselors say the steps to finding a job in a recession aren't that much different from during good times; you just have to work harder at it. The must-do list includes:
•Check your pride at the door. Tell everyone you know that you're out of work. A job lead may come from a neighbor, a fellow church member or the parent of a child's friend. "There is no throwaway contact," said Wilmette management consultant Marilyn Moats Kennedy. "The shame is not there anymore."
•Don't try to find a job by spending day and night in front of the computer. "This is not a time to be stuck in your home office or your basement," said Craig Randall, managing director of the Chicago office of executive search firm DHR International. "If you're trying to sell something, you've got to go out and press the flesh. Make a list of everybody you know and really attack your personal Rolodex."
•Research an opening by using the Internet to learn about the company and the industry so you can sell what benefit your addition to the company would bring.
"If you have a contact [at a company], don't make that call until you do your research, know how to talk about yourself and what you can offer," said Monica Keane, executive director of Barrington Career Center.
When it comes time for a phone interview, Kennedy tells clients to do them standing up because you project more energy standing than sitting.
•Ask your direct managers if they'll help you with a reference because they have the best knowledge of your work and your accomplishments. While some organizations limit their communication related to former employees, given the non-personal reason for a lot of layoffs today, they may be willing to help.
•Seek assistance and support from career centers and networking groups. One site to check out is www.chicagojobs.org, which has links to area organizations that offer support groups, resume assistance and skill-building workshops. Several religious organizations offer assistance on a non-denominational basis.
However, make sure the group advances your job search. Camaraderie is fine at the beginning, but the best groups help advance a member's search.
•Decide whether you can afford to be underemployed and whether you can deal with being overqualified for a position.
"Don't take a job just because it's a job," said Paul Schneider, managing partner of SSP, a human resources consulting firm. "If it doesn't work out, six months later you'll be back on the job market and now what's your excuse of why you left?"
•Look past the biggest, well-known companies. Smaller companies, counselors say, are eager to scoop up talent that they perhaps couldn't attract a few years ago.
•Stay positive. "No one is going to hire someone who comes to them with a sad sack story," Keane said.

The mind reels at how insanely gorgeous the babies made by a union of Chris Pine and Olivia Wilde might be. Their upcoming film will force us to ponder this hypothetical perfect being.
Wilde has signed on to play Pine's girlfriend in "Welcome to People," reported Variety. It's about a guy who returns home to deal with the aftermath of his estranged father's death. It's only then that he learns he has an alcoholic sister (Elizabeth Banks) and nephew with an anger management problem. More awkward still, his father's will calls for him to deliver to sis a six-figure chunk of the estate.
The film will mark the directorial debut of Alex Kurtzman, who co-wrote the script with his "Star Trek," (which starred Pine) and "Cowboys & Aliens" (which stars Wilde) collaborator Roberto Orci, and Jody Lambert.
U.S. & World
Wilde has made a long slow climb from being Mischa Barton's sapphic dalliance on "The O.C." to a working actress in high-profile feature films, but she's yet to enjoy that breakout hit/role. "Year One" flopped," "The Next Three Days" was dreadful, her role in "Tron: Legacy" was the dumbest part in a dumb movie.
But the horizon looks bright, as she'll be seen July 29, in "Cowboys & Aliens," "The Change-Up with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman on Aug. 5, the sci-fi thriller "Now" on Sept. 30 and "Butter," a comedy about a butter carving champion, is awaiting a release date this year.

- ―Roman Bellic to Niko.
Badger cellphone is a Mobile Phone in the HD Universe. It is manufactured by Badger.
The Badger Cellphone is a low-end phone, inspired by some Motorola models. Furthermore, due to having a one color display and a low binary frequency, it doesn't allow ringtones or themes to be downloaded through the in-game website vipluxuryringtones.com.
GENERAL: No wi-fi/network connection.
STORAGE: It is able to store messages and contacts.
CAMERA: None.
SOUND: Vibrations, Ringtones.
DISPLAY: One-color.
Owners and usersNiko Bellic, the protagonist of GTA IV owns a Badger cellphone. He receives this cellphone from his cousin Roman Bellic, the previous owner of the phone, during the mission "It's Your Call". He stops using the Badger cellphone after receiving the more powerful Whiz Cellphone from Playboy X during "Photo Shoot".
Other known owner of such Badger cellphone is Pegorino Capo Ray Boccino. Ray apparently uses a newer model of the cellphone, as it is capable of sending content such as images.
Luis Fernando Lopez owns an even newer model, equipped with a touchscreen and a camera, and has the same features as the Whiz Cellphone.
- Its body is identical to Whiz Cellphone's, although they are manufactured by different companies and the Whiz Cellphones obviously have a much superior performance.

Once a year the the IAJGS partners with a local Jewish genealogy society to have the International Jewish Genealogy Conference. Last year it was in Paris. The year before it was in Washington, DC (where I spoke about Utilizing Belgian Archives for Jewish Research). This year, in partnership with the JGS of Greater Boston, it will be in my hometown, Boston.
If you've never been to one of the annual conferences, I highly recommend it. You're sure to learn a lot, meet lots of people, and make connections with people and groups that are researching the same places and families you are researching.
Registration is now open, with an early registration discount available through April 30, 2013. One other date worth mentioning is that all additions to the conference Family Finder must be submitted by July 1, 2013. The Family Finder is a directory of family names and ancestral towns that are being researched by attendees at the conference. The top five names and towns can be displayed on your conference badge, and up to eight names will be put into the Family Finder book that is distributed at the conference.

Tag: confessions of an english opium-eater
by Jeffrey Stanley on Dec.01, 2010, under NYC, On the Road, Shaheb Cafe, The Press
I heart paan
This week's New York Press, "New York's Plummy Weekly Newspaper," cover story is my monologue thinly disguised as an essay, 'Confessions of a White, Middle-Aged Paan Eater', the title a loose parody of Thomas de Quincey's scandalous 1821 memoir Confessions of an English Opium-Eater.
Enjoy the article, go to your nearest Indian grocer and enjoy some meeta paan, and if you're craving more dope on the delicacy here's a short clip of me ordering it from a paan walla just across from the ancient Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves in Bhubaneswar, the capital of the state of Orissa in eastern India, this past January (footage courtesy of documentary filmmaker David Gaynes).
And the article…

Is GMA's Robin Roberts gunning for Barbara Walters' job? Backstage at the Oscars, she asked Jeff Bridges, "What would you want to tell your dad about this guy?" Bridges stared at his Oscar, then broke down and cried.
Today Good Morning America also aired Roberts' interviews with a few of the ladies who won, including Mo'Nique, Sandra Bullock, and Kathryn Bigelow. In the clip below, Mo'Nique says she wasn't nervous before the show because, "We had already won back in Utah when an old little white woman told me, you changed me life." (We prefer the version of this story in which Mo'Nique reveals, "I had an Asian brother come up to me after a screening in L.A." and say, "I am Mary Jones.")
Though Roberts (and everyone else) is framing Kathryn Bigelow's Best Director win as a triumph for women, she says, "I hope it can be useful to other filmmakers be them men or women, that... don't give up on their dream."

"a thoroughly contemporary ghost story . . . A splendid chiller, in the uncomplicated, old-fashioned sense. As one might expect from the author of Lucky Jim, The Green Man is also an extremely funny book, filled with slapstick, parody and satire. Indeed, the success of this short novel depends very much on the balance that Amis maintains between fear and laughter."
—Robert Kiely, The New York Times
"Contains all the best and familiar Amis qualities—including superb sexual comedy."
—Sunday Times
"Kingsley Amis is an important writer, and we cannot afford to lose him. It is no small thing to have written a good ghost story; to have written a ghost story that is also a major novel is nothing short of miraculous." —Book World
"What makes The Green Man readable and re-readable is the skill with which Amis, like Henry James before him, turns the narrative screw. It is, quite simply, a rattling good ghost story." —The Times (UK)
"In the drunken, lecherous, God-fearing Maurice Allingham, the drunken, lecherous, God-loathing Kingsley Amis created a character who makes sin and redemption far more real and natural than they appear in the works of most professedly Christian novelists." —The Independent (UK)
"Ghosts, exorcisms, sexual crises: even though first published back in 1969, Kingsley Amis's story The Green Man is as up-to-date as any trendy movie of the week. But Mr. Amis, something of an Evelyn Waugh-manque for our times, is after more than a passing chill or two. His hero ponders, through a boozy haze, nothing less than the meaning, or meaninglessness, of life." —The New York Times
"How rarely do we come across the really frightening ghost story now. Kingsley Amis's The Green Man was a rare and honourable exception, and Amis followed the classic pattern of earlier writers, letting the story progress carefully from a recognisable normality, through unease, to the rapid unfolding of horror that marks out the most successful and scarifying of all horror story writers." —The Guardian
"[A] powerful and to my mind much under-estimated ghost story." —Malcolm Bradbury
*The Green Man was chosen by David Pringle for inclusion in his volume Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels (Grafton Books), as well as for James Cawthorne & Michael Moorcock's Fantasy: The 100 Best Books (Carroll & Graf), and in Kim Newman & Stephen Jones's Horror: 100 Best Books (Carroll & Graf).

Football, comedy, beer and charity.
A fun evening, filled with tons of booze, lots of nice food, a chance to meet or catch up with fellow bloggers and it's all for charity you say? Guests to include Barry Glendenning, Luke Moore, Clive Tyldesley and - to reiterate - it's all for a good charitable cause? Where do we sign?
It's not often I pull a suit of the peg, but this has to be worth putting in an appearance for, no? Furthermore, European Football Weekends has somehow managed to shoehorn its way onto the list of nominees. In fact, if you're at a loose end, you can vote for whoever tickles your fancy here:
The inaugural NOPA awards , hosted by PickLiveFootie and designed to celebrate the best that the football blogging and podcast world has to offer, take place at Hoxton Hall in London Village. Tickets for the event can be purchased HERE. All food and drink is included in the price of a ticket. All proceeds go to the charity DS Active.
With all the furore surrounding Fifa and their World Cup bidding shenanigans, it probably isn't the best time to tell you that EFW have also been nominated for another award as well. So, in no way will I be asking any of you to head over to the Soccerlens Awards page for best niche website and put a tick in the box for us there, not on your nelly.

I would like to have literacy because If we didn't have it we won't be able to speak fluent english
My favorite genre of writing to study in literacy is poetry because we are encouraged to include personification, similes and metaphors. I am AMAZING at personification! I suggest you look at the Year 6 'Class Activities' page;my 'I Met at Eve' poem is sensational!
I love literacy, especially persuasive writing which is fun. After I have analysed the key features of the genre of writing, I can let my imagination run wild!!!
Being the first writer of the month was amazing because I worked hard and achieved my goal.

Wednesday, 29 January 2014 05:48 PM
Rescuers rushed to bring blankets, food, gas and a ride home Wednesday to thousands of Atlanta schoolchildren and motorists stranded all night long in classrooms and freezing cars after a snowstorm of less than 3 inches paralyzed the South's flagship city.
As National Guardsmen and state troopers fanned out, Mayor Kasim Reed and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal found themselves on the defensive, acknowledging that the storm preparations and the response could have better. But state officials also blamed forecasts that said conditions wouldn't be so bad.
The icy weather wreaked similar havoc across much of the South, closing schools and highways, grounding flights and contributing to at least a dozen deaths from traffic accidents and a mobile home fire.
Yet it was Atlanta, home to major corporations and the world's busiest airport, that was Exhibit A for how a Southern city could be sent reeling by winter weather that, in the North, might be no more than an inconvenience.
The mayor said the city could have directed schools, businesses and government offices to stagger their closings on Tuesday afternoon, as the storm began, rather than dismissing everyone at the same time.
The result was gridlock on freeways that are jammed even on normal days. Countless vehicles were stranded — and many of them abandoned. Officials said 239 children spent Tuesday night aboard school buses; more than 10,000 more stayed overnight in their schools. One woman said her 12-mile commute home took 16 hours.
One traffic death was reported in Atlanta — that of a man killed in a crash.
"I'm not thinking about a grade right now," the mayor said when asked about the city's response. "I'm thinking about getting people out of their cars."
The governor said the National Guard was sending Humvees onto Atlanta's snarled freeways to move stranded school buses and deliver food and water to people. State troopers headed to schools where children were hunkered down, and transportation crews cleared roads and brought gas to motorists.
Atlanta was crippled by an ice storm in 2011, and officials had vowed not to be caught unprepared again. But in this case, few closings or other measures were ordered ahead of time; officials said the forecasts indicated no more than a dusting of snow.
Deal, who is up for re-election in November, fended off criticism about the government's response. He said emergency officials made a priority of rescuing stranded children, then making contact with stranded motorists. He asked drivers who abandoned their vehicles to wait until Thursday to retrieve them.
"I would have acted sooner, and I think we learn from that and then we will act sooner the next time," Deal told reporters.
"But we don't want to be accused of crying wolf. Because if we had been wrong, y'all would have all been in here saying, 'Do you know how many millions of dollars you cost the economies of the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia by shutting down businesses all over this city and this state?'"
Deal said the state may tighten requirements for truckers to use tire chains. Tractor-trailer wrecks were blamed for many highway bottlenecks. Deal also said warnings could have been posted along highways earlier and farther out Tuesday.
Among the commuters trapped in the gridlock was Jessica Troy, who described her commute home to the suburb of Smyrna as a slow-motion obstacle course on sheets of ice.
"We literally would go 5 feet and sit for two hours," Troy said after she and a co-worker who rode with her finally made it home about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. They spent more than 16 hours in the car together, covering 12 miles.
Troy said they left the advertising agency where they work at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Roads were clogged with drivers who tried to rush home after lunch as the ice storm hit.
The standstill gave Troy time to call her parents and send text messages to friends, letting them know she was OK. By 3 a.m. her car was stuck on a freeway entrance ramp. She put it in park, left the heat running and tried to get some sleep.
"I slept for an hour and it was not comfortable," Troy said. "Most people sat the entire night with no food, no water, no bathroom. We saw people who had children. It was a dire situation."
After daybreak, a few good Samaritans appeared, going car-to-car with bottles of water and cookies. Traffic started moving again about 8:30.
At Atlanta's Deerwood Elementary School, librarian Brian Ashley spent Tuesday night with a dozen of his colleagues and 35 children on cots in the gym.
The teachers and other staff members opened up the pantry in the cafeteria, making pizza and chicken nuggets with carrots and apples for dinner. Later, some police officers dropped off sandwiches, and parents living nearby brought food.
"The kids slept peacefully through the night," Ashley said. "They knew that there were people around them that cared about them."
However, Ashley said officials never should have allowed the schools to open Tuesday.
"They were forewarned about the weather, and they were ill-prepared," he said. "If schools were canceled yesterday, we would not have had the catastrophe we did last night and today."
About 1,000 arrivals and departures were canceled at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, including one that was supposed to carry the Detroit Pistons to an NBA game with the Atlanta Hawks. The game was postponed, as was Georgia's legislative session on Wednesday.
But even amid the chaos, Atlanta officials insisted that downtown was open for business — at least for a huge meat- and poultry-industry exposition at the Georgia World Congress Center. Roughly 27,000 people from more than 100 countries were expected to attend between Monday and Friday.
City officials arranged for prompt scraping and ice-melting operations on roads around the center.
"Atlanta has a lot at stake with the convention business," said Charles Olentine, the expo's general manager. "It is mandatory that visitors to Atlanta feel welcome and attended to."
Across Georgia, the state patrol reported more than 1,250 traffic accidents and one traffic fatality.
Temperatures in Atlanta were forecast to dip as low as 16 Wednesday night, then gradually rise to the mid-50s by Friday.

Edit counting
Edit counting is a phenomenon experienced by many Wikimedians from time to time. Some users feel that their (or others') edit counts are either too small, too large, too erratic, or too [insert favorite adjective here].
Generally, edit counting is to be avoided when weighing the value of someone's contribution. It is the quality, not quantity of edits that counts, and many editors use scripts and make minor edits, while others, with fewer edits, write many articles. Of course, this is not always true; it should simply be expected that number of edits is not an accurate gauge as to the value of an editor's contributions.
Users have no good reason to be either daunted or discouraged! We're all members of a massive wiki community with noble goals. This is largely a gift economy, not a political hierarchy.
- Your edit count is not your IQ, value as a human being, or a score in a video game. It does not determine your worth as a Wikimedian. It does not cure cancer or grant you a seat on the secret spaceship that will be traveling to Mars when the Krulls return to destroy the planet in 2012... Don't let it bother you. It's just a number in the database. — Slashdot
It should also be noted that Wikimedians with many edits should not be daunted or discouraged either. Quantity doesn't necessarily mean a lack of quality.
