Elderly woman attacked by dog after daughter-in-law has seizure
LAWNDALE, N.C. - A woman was attacked by her daughter-in-law's dog Tuesday morning after the daughter had a seizure, according to animal control officials in Cleveland County. The daughter-in-law had a second seizure, and the dog attacked again.
Animal control officials are still trying to figure out what happened that incited the pit bull to attack someone he knew all of his life – a 73-year-old woman who relies on an oxygen tank.
"It was horrible, just horrible," said neighbor Kimberly Reynolds, who witnessed the accident.
Reynolds saw Patrece Ogle after the dog attacked her, biting and mauling the woman's face.
"I couldn't sleep at all last night," Reynolds said.
The dog was raised in a Lawndale home with Ogle and daughter-in-law.
Reynolds described the dog as friendly.
However, when Ogle's daughter-in-law had a seizure, Animal Control said the dog attacked after misreading Ogle's actions to help.
Cleveland County's animal control officials said Ogle and her daughter-in-law pleaded to let them keep the dog.
"The dog was not aggressive in any way," said Trip Bowling, director of Animal Control. "Therefore, we felt it would be safe for the owner to keep him."
Tuesday afternoon, Ogle's daughter-in-law had another seizure and the pit bull attacked again. Animal control is still trying to figure out the order of events, but when they showed up, the pit bull and their other dog were very agitated.
"They were highly aggressive when we got inside," Bowling said.
"That woman has got enough problems without being attacked by her own dog," said neighbor Pat Holloway.
Ogle was still in intensive care late Wednesday afternoon.
Both dogs are being kept at the county shelter.
Animal control said the pit bull could be declared dangerous and euthanized if the owner doesn't agree to strict limitations before taking him back.

Pandora Hikes Rate - Analyst Blog
Internet radio service provider Pandora (NYSE: P) recently announced that it would raise the fees for its ad-free service by $1.00 to almost $4.99 per month from May onward.
Reportedly, this move was initiated by the company in order to cover the continuously increasing cost of licensing tunes. The amount paid as royalties to artists has increased 53.0% over the last five years and is expected to go up by another 9.0% in 2015.
In such a scenario, Pandora found no other way of retrieving costs than to raise its fees. This announcement comes on the heels of a federal judge's ruling, which stopped Pandora from lowering the current royalty rate of 1.85% to 1.70%, which it pays to songwriters to license their music.
Pandora is doing away with its $36.0 annual subscription. Instead, yearly subscribers will now move to a monthly $3.99 loyalty plan once their membership expires. This new plan would add up to an amount much higher than what existing members had been paying so far and thus prove to be costly for them.
The company, however, claimed that only 3.3 million users out of a total of 250 million users will get affected by the price hike. Moreover, Pandora will continue offering its highly individualized programmable music stations for free, with advertisements.
This hike in rates may adversely affect the subscription base of the company amidst stiff competition from the likes of rivals like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Spotify, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI) which in turn may lead to reduction in growth and profitability of the company going forward.
Pandora enjoys a first mover's advantage in the music streaming industry. We believe that the company already has a popular service, driven by its effective discovery engine and a well-established infrastructure.
Currently, Pandora has a Zacks Rank # 3 (Hold).

London, June 29 (ANI): Manchester City have offered Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o a stratospheric amount of 250,000-pounds a week, a sum that most certainly dwarfs the pay packet that Real Madrid's new winger Cristiano Ronaldo will get.
According to The Sun, Eto'o will earn 13 million pounds a year if the 25 million pound switch goes through.
The offer would covert Eto'o into the best-paid player in the world.
The Cameroon star, 28, scored 34 goals last season and has only a year left on his contract with Barcelona. (ANI)

Facts: Millwall lost 5-1 on their last visit to Edgeley Park in January 1997
Recommended pub: Royal Oak (Castle Street)
Millwall are going well and should pick up three points at bottom club Stockport. The Lions won 3-1 in midweek despite, according to Bradford manager Jim Jefferies, being "outplayed for 80 minutes". Millwall boss Mark McGhee praised the finishing of his side in midweek and winger Paul Ifill also demonstrated that last week when he scored a magnificent solo goal during the 3-3 draw against Nottingham Forest. Now, if Ryan Giggs had done that . . .
Verdict: EASY FOR MCGHEE

Boy, did I ever make the wrong choice.
Make no mistake–I'm glad I busted into the high-stress, low-pay world of sports journalism. But considering the direction the college sports world is turning these days, I sure could use a prestigious law degree in my back pocket.
These days, college sports has become awash in a complex jumble of legalese, motions, suits and stolen-file scenarios straight out of a John Grisham novel.
The alleged assault and robbery against Memphis lawyer Phillip Shanks, who represents former Alabama assistants Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams in a $60 million lawsuit against the NCAA and other various parties, was only the latest twist and turn of Alabama sports fit more for Court TV than ESPN.
Think about it: Since 2000, outside of Mike DuBose, have any of the major players in the passion play that is Crimson Tide football stayed off of the legal docket in one way or another?
Disassociated booster Logan Young has a federal case pending against him in Memphis for his role in the Albert Means case.
Fellow disassociated boosters Ray Keller and Wendell Smith both have suits pending against the NCAA and other parties for the hits their reputations took in Alabama's case against the NCAA.
Cottrell and Williams have the most high-profile case, of course; Shanks, fiery Montgomery lawyer Tommy Gallion and a group of lawyers known as "Team Cottrell" have dropped and added a host of plaintiffs in their never-ending quest for justice against the NCAA.
Gallion has been particularly outspoken against the NCAA and Tennessee Coach Phillip Fulmer, citing what he believes was a conspiracy between the parties to destroy Alabama football.
He's done a pretty good job of uncovering said conspiracy, too, pushing to daylight Fulmer's "confidential" interview with the NCAA connected to the Alabama investigation that linked Fulmer and former recruiting analyst Tom Culpepper.
He's also established that the NCAA and the SEC suppressed problems concerning Means and several other recruits from Alabama officials until it was too late, through depositions of former defendants Gene Marsh and Marie Robbins (both Alabama compliance employees).
Even Dennis Franchione got in on the act; a deposition Gallion took for the case revealed that Franchione felt he couldn't function at Alabama thanks to the serious NCAA sanctions on the program, which helped lead him to Texas A&M following the 2002 season.
Of course, some suits are easier for Alabama fans to follow than others.
Deposed Tide football coach Mike Price unleashed a pair of $20 million suits on UA, UA President Robert Witt and Sports Illustrated after he was fired last May for his conduct on a Florida golf trip.
Judges eventually ruled that Price's suit against Witt and UA had no merit since he never signed his $1 million per year contract, but his libel and defamation case against SI rages on.
A recent deposition of UA Athletics Director Mal Moore recently revealed that Price had to use Viagra to "perform" in the bedroom, which might contradict SI's story of Price's "aggressive sex" with two women in his Pensacola hotel room, since Price admitted he was intoxicated on the night in question, which probably cost him his job.
Sounds like the only place that case is "rollin, baby" is into jury selection. You know, some newspapers are hiring recruiting writers. Others are hiring sports business writers.
Papers in this state should add legal writers to the payroll; it's a job unto itself.
But since that probably won't happen, it's up to me and my fellow scribes to juggle depositions and dunks, touchdowns and torts for the foreseeable future.
Makes me wish I paid better attention in my "Law and Media" class in college. They told us it would be our most important class, which I promptly laughed off while breezing my way to a B-minus the first semester of my senior year.
Now, I've realized that legal mania is just part of today's sports culture. But it seems worse here than in other parts of our fair sports nation.
With Friends and Frasier gone, NBC has a few holes in its lineup. Might I suggest Law and Order: Tuscaloosa?
There's enough juicy stuff on the UA campus alone to keep them busy for three seasons.
Enough, in fact, to make me wish I'd taken that law-school entrance exam. Such is life in the Crimson Nation, at least for the foreseeable future.

What I eat today is completely different to what I used to eat a year an a half ago. I would say I was a conscious consumer, I tried to do my best by buying organic and local produce whenever possible. My diet was pretty healthy, or at least that is what I thought. I didn't eat a lot of junk food or take-away, but I did eat too much of a lot of things like white pasta, white rice, a lot of cheese, bacon, ham, eggs, cream, white flours, mayonnaise, bread and capuccinos. I wasn't interested in fruits or leafy greens, and I had absolutely no clue about the extent to which food influences one's health.
Over the past year my diet has changed, I would say 100%. I started out clearing out my pantry and fridge of any processed foods at 11 pm on a Saturday night after reading Crazy, Sexy Diet by Kris Carr. I went on to eating a fully raw vegan diet, comprised of mostly fruits and salads. I did this for a few months in order to heal several health issues. Since then I have made some changes, experimented, seen what works for me and what doesn't. Most of the time I choose to eat what makes me feel my best, but I also like to indulge every once in a while. I have learned to listen to my body and I know what it needs in different situations.
My diet is 100% plant-based and I consume almost entirely whole food and organic products. I don't use refined flours and sugars, nor gluten in my recipes, and try to reduce my salt intake as much as possible as that is what makes me feel my best. Raw foods are my favourite so I try to eat them every day. My diet currently looks like this: lots of fruits, veggies and leafy greens, some nuts and seeds, grains and beans/legumes, especially in colder months. I always start my day with either a green juice or a green smoothie, I find that it is the best thing for my health and general wellbeing, and I also happen to love the taste.
On Let It Be Cosy you will find most of the more 'elaborate' recipes that I like to cook at home for family and friends. I believe they will be more interesting for you as a beginner. I definitely think you could incorporate simple meals of fresh raw fruits and veggies: there is little prep time and no cooking at all, no washing up to do afterwards and it gives you amazing energy!

Comments Off on Sale Cueto to start: All Star Starting Pitchers
Sale Cueto to start: All Star Starting Pitchers, Chris Sale and Johnny Cueto were named starting pitchers for the American and National League All-Star teams on Monday, lending a little flavor to Tuesday night's game at Petco Park.
AL manager Ned Yost opted for the hard-throwing, dominant Sale over Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright, whose 2.68 ERA leads the AL.
Cueto saw his competition for the starting nod dissipate, as Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw and Mets righty Noah Syndergaard were felled by injury or arm troubles, and Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg opted not to pitch.

Ufc Mark Hunt Vs Brock Lesnar, Hello and welcome to live updates of UFC 200, featuring Kiwi Mark Hunt taking on WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.
Over 20 years of fighting under the ample belt of Mark Hunt but the 'Super Samoan' will have never been under as glaring a spotlight, taking center stage in what will likely be the UFC's biggest event of all time as they celebrate their 200th pay-per-view with a stacked card for the ages.
A classic 'Striker vs Grappler' match-up, can Hunt nullify Lesnar's powerful wrestling game and land that killer left hook?
We bring you live streaming written commentary, video highlights and all the action. VIDEO will be available at the conclusion of the main event.
This live coverage checks for updates every minute
This live coverage has now finished
Check out the highlights above…
Meisha Tate vs Amanda Nunes – Nunes wins via first round submission
5:02pm – Amanda Nunes stuns the MMA world with a dominant first round submission of champion Meisha Tate, wobbling her on the feet with some brutal strikes before sinking in a neck crank to to become the new women's bantamweight champion.
Mark Hunt vs Brock Lesnar – Lesnar via unanimous decision
4:38pm – And Lesnar is awarded the unanimous decision win. Credit where it's due, what an athlete.
Round Three – Lesnar with the early takedown and he's in excellent position, stinging Hunt with blows from top position. Hunt in an awkward spot now, Lesnar controlling him expertly. Lesnar landing continuous shots now, and he moves into full mount with 2 mins remaining. He's looking for the submission now, in between raining shots to the side of Hunt's head. Mixing up the levels now, body to head as the fight draws to a conclusion. An impressive performance by Lesnar after such a long lay-off from the sport.
Round Two – Another tentative start to the round, Hunt swings a big overhand right which just misses its target. Lesnar shoots a takedown and Hunt defends it well, excellent sprawl. Lesnar starting to look fatigued. Hunt shrugs off another takedown, controlling the octagon now but not throwing much offense. Lesnar grabs a leg, presses Hunt against the fence. No takedown coming and the round closes. Anyones round that one. Huge third coming up.
Round One – Both fighters tentative as they feel each other out early. Monster swing and a miss from Hunt as Lesnar shoots the takedown. Gets Hunt on the second attempt and he has Hunt against the fence. Hunt goes down briefly but fights his way back to his feet, and now Lesnar has him flat on the deck in side control, dangerous spot for the Kiwi. Lesnar landing big punches, Hunt fights to his feet again but Lesnar shoots immediately and has him down, straight into full mount. Hunt hangs on as the hooter ends the round. Impressive opener from Lesnar, he has that one comfortably.
4:14pm – The lights dim as the all too familiar strains of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' ring out…and here comes Lesnar. The man looks genetically engineered.
4:13pm – Hunt strolls out to the octagon looking typically relaxed. As veteran a fighter as they come, no way will he be overawed by the occasion.
4:06pm – A little ahead of myself, think we're looking at about 4:15pm for the walk-outs.
3:57pm – Time for the real main event people! Mark Hunt set to make his entrance momentarily.
Dan Cormier vs Anderson Silva – Cormier wins via unanimous decision
3:55pm – The Spider launches at Cormier as the final minute ticks away, wobbles the champ. DC manages to tie him up and that will do us. A comfortable win for Cormier, but an impressive effort all things considered by the greatest fighter to ever grace the octagon.
3:54pm – Cormier smothers Silva through the majority of the round while doing minimal damage, and the crowd aren't best pleased. 'Stand them up' chants breaking out, that's a first. The referee eventually obliges.
3:48pm – Silva really showing the effects of the lack of training camp, looking heavily fatigued as the second round closes.
3:45pm – Silva threatens with a few trademark kicks to open the second round but soon finds himself back on the ground and under Cormier's considerable frame.
3:40pm – The first round ends as it started, DC on top and landing elbows. Silva defending resolutely but he's eaten a few through the guard.
3:38pm – We're underway….and predictably Cormier shoots the early takedown and he's already on top of Silva and laying down some ground strikes. Cormier clearly the much bigger fighter.
3:28pm – The GOAT is up next, filling in for the ousted Jon Jones against light heavyweight champion Dan Cormier. If 'The Spider' somehow pulls this off, stepping up a weight class on 48 hours notice with barely any training under his belt…..
Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar – Aldo wins via unanimous decision
3:16pm – And there it is, the new UFC interim featherweight champion, Jose Aldo Jr. Here's hoping we eventually see a rematch with McGregor.
3:11pm – Aldo continues to avoid the power shots of Edgar, tagging him with counters on the exit. Frankie's face is a mess now, Jose looking virtually untouched. The final hooter sounds, and that should be a comfortable win for Jose Aldo, one of the most impressive of his career.
3:05pm – Aldo is looking phenomenal, counter-striking beautifully and Edgar seems frustrated. Frankie needs a KO or submission to win this fight as we head into the final round, he's surely behind on the judge's scorecards.
3:01pm – Edgar wearing some damage now, Aldo still looking fresh. End of the 3rd round, I believe he's sitting ahead 2-1 entering the championship 4th and 5th.
3pm – Aldo using his reach advantage well, continuing to stuff the takedown. Edgar landing leg kicks with regularity but there isn't much sting on them.
2:53pm – Aldo defending Edgar's takedowns well, and he's opened a cut above the right eye of his opponent now. The Brazilian with another strong round.
2:49pm – Electric opening round from both fighters, Aldo catching Edgar with a knee as the round ticked to a close..may have stolen him a close opening stanza.
2:41pm – Jose Aldo looking, the greatest featherweight in MMA history, looking to bounce back from his shock first round KO loss to Conor McGregor. Frankie Edgar on a tear of late. Strap up….
2:37pm – Frankie Edgar sprints to the octagon to Biggie's 'Kick in the Door' as we get set for an interim featherweight title belt with Brazilian Jose Aldo. This is my pick for fight of the night.
2:31pm – We're looking at approximately 3:45-4pm for Hunt vs Lesnar, by my own predictions at least. Don't quote me on that.
Cain Velasquez vs Travis Browne – Velasquez wins via first round TKO
2:22pm – Velasquez applying that famous pressure of his early, Browne has eaten a few brutal combinations already. Browne looks completely fatigued, Cain unrelenting as he takes his back and unleashes with ground and pound as the round ticks to a close, but the bell doesn't come quickly enough to save the Hawaiian. Referee steps in and this one is all over. A trademark Velasquez beatdown. Velasque
2:13pm – Proud Hawaiian Travis Browne, partner of superstar Ronda Rousey, makes his way to the octagon for the first fight of today's main card – Velasquez vs Browne.
Commentary will start from around 2pm. In the meantime check out the video above for a pre-fight interview with Mark Hunt himself.
Fight Card:
Cain Velasquez vs Travis Browne – Velasquez wins via first round TKO
Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar – Aldo wins via unanimous decision
Dan Cormier vs Anderson Silva – Cormier wins via unanimous decision
Co-main event – Mark Hunt vs Brock Lesnar – Lesnar wins via unanimous decision

Pre-fight banter
Hunt: I'm going to spoil the party
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier have been erased from the marquee outside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, leaving South Auckland's own Mark Hunt and Brock Lesnar as the faces of UFC 200.
Sunday's showdown with Lesnar was already going to be the biggest fight of Hunt's career, but with Jones' shocking removal from the card last night, it's suddenly a whole lot bigger.
But Hunt's taking his elevation to the top of the card in his stride.
"I'm disappointed at what happened to the main event," Hunt said at this morning's open workout. "I'm disappointed for Daniel Cormier, but I'm always ready to fight."
Hunt worked out in a sweat suit this morning, sparking some fears that his weight cut may not be going to plan. Hunt admitted that he is still cutting weight, but making the UFC's 265lb. heavyweight limit will not be an issue.
"Just too much cheesecake, I guess," he joked, while adding that this weight cut is nothing like the one in Adelaide last year, where Hunt had to lose 11kg in a single day before a sluggish TKO loss to Stipe Miocic.
Hunt is well aware of the magnitude of this weekend's fight and what a win over Lesnar can do for his career.
"This fight is really important. The whole world is watching this fight. It's great for the Mark Hunt brand.
"I know a lot of people are here to see Brock, but I'm sorry, I'm going to spoil the party for you guys."
Brock Lesnar was even more relaxed than Hunt. He chose not to work out for the fans, but took the time to answer questions.
Lesnar said he only found out about Jones' failed drug test this morning and isn't concerned about his position on the card.
"Merry Christmas to Brock Lesnar, I guess," was his reaction.

ESPN Insiders Peter Keating and Jordan Brenner are back with another look at vulnerable giants (subscription required), this time identifying high seeds who could ripe for a second-round upset instead. By their estimation, Stephen F. Austin would have the highest chance of a double-digit seed to reach the Sweet 16 if the Lumberjacks can handle No. 3 West Virginia in the Round of 64.
California, Wichita State and Stephen F. Austin are all mentioned by Sports Illustrated's Seth Davis as potential "bracket busters."
Mean Joe Greene Coca Cola Ad: 'Hey, Kid! Catch'

Comments Off on Mean Joe Greene Coca Cola Ad: 'Hey, Kid! Catch'
Mean Joe Greene Coca Cola Ad: 'Hey, Kid! Catch', It's been nearly 40 years since a 9-year-old fan shared his Coca-Cola with Pittsburgh Steelers star "Mean" Joe Greene in one of the most famous commercials in Super Bowl history. Now the unlikely duo are reunited in a new video honoring the iconic ad and their enduring bond.
In the clip, which was shot for the upcoming Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials 2016 special on CBS, the NFL legend and the all-grown-up Tommy Okon meet at Apogee Stadium in Denton, Texas.
As the two reminisce about filming the Clio Award-winning commercial, which debuted in October 1979 and was notably aired again during Super Bowl XIV in 1980, Greene recalls the 18 bottles of Coke he had to drink to get it right.
"I didn't know any better. I chugged the doggone thing over and over and over," Greene says.
Asked why he thinks people connected with the commercial, however, Greene points his finger at Okon. "I don't know about that," demurs Okon, who counts the former defensive tackle as "one of his oldest friends." "I think the people that created it wrote a great commercial that really tells a story … that commercial's kind of what Joe is: tough, football player, who's a nice guy."
Williams Advances Australian Final: Heading For The Finals

Williams Advances Australian Final: Heading For The Finals, Serena Williams strolled into the Australian Final, and her second consecutive one, after beating fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-0 6-4.
Serena proves too good for the Pole
Winning the first set 6-0 in just 22 minutes, the world number one set an ominous tone for Radwanska. With the Pole winning just seven points in the whole set it was clear that Williams had the final in her sights.
The second set started with a huge cheer as Radwanska held serve for the first time in the match. She was to put up much more of a fight in the second set as although she was broke again, Radwanska managed to earn the break back. However it was to be shortlived as Williams broke at 4-4 giving herself the chance to serve the match. Doing so to love, the American advanced to her seventh Australian Open final.
Heading into the tournament this year there were many doubts over whether Williams would be able to continue her form from 2015 due to her fitness and her heartbreaking loss to Roberta Vinci in the US Open semi-finals. However she has destroyed any murmurs of her not being able to get back to her best as she has breezed through to the final. After beating Maria Sharapova in last year's final the top seed will be confident of retaining her crown and starting off her 2016 with yet another Grand Slam.
Will it ever happen for Radwanska?
Radwanska has now lost nine times to Williams without winning (pic source|Lifestyleuncut)
Radwanska will be relatively pleased with her form after losing her first match this year having won her previous ten matches this year. After going out in the fourth round she will see it as an improvement upon last year. However it will be of concern to her as she searches for a maiden Grand Slam title that she keeps falling short and questions will remain as to whether she will ever win one of the four slams.

Fan Dies at Bengals Game: Fan Collapses During Game, A football fan from Missouri died on Sunday after collapsing in a bathroom at Paul Brown Stadium during the Bengals' 36-21 win over the Chiefs.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the incident was reported to authorities sometime in the second half, just after 3 p.m ET.
After the man was discovered, paramedics tried to revive him at the stadium, but when that didn't work, the unidentified male was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
A Bengals spokesman told the Associated Press that the fan, who was from Springfield, Mo., had a pre-existing medical condition.
Authorities aren't identifying the man until his family has been notified.

A study on productivity enhancement in high-speed, high-precision micromilling processes
Sodemann, Angela Ann
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis presents a study into the enhancement of productivity in micromilling processes by considering a fundamental treatment of tool path trajectory generation techniques and process optimization strategies that account for the impact of scale effects present in high-speed, high-precision micromachining operations. Micromilling is increasingly applied to the production of a wide variety of micro components, due to its high precision and flexibility. However, the productivity of micromilling is limited by the low feedrates necessitated by the inherent high precision and small feature size. In this study, several scale effects present at the microscale are identified, in particular the increase of the ratio of tool size to feature size, and the corresponding impact on trajectory generation and process optimization is investigated. The scale effects are shown to cause increased geometric error when the standard method of VF-NURBS is applied to microscale feedrate optimization. The method of Enhanced Variable-Feedrate NURBS (EVF-NURBS) is proposed and shown to successfully compensate for the scale effects leading to reduced geometric error. A key contribution of this study is the construction and experimental validation of the Variable-Feedrate Intelligent Segmentation (VFIS) method for increased feedrates and improved stability. The VFIS method provides a cutting time reduction of more than 50% in some cases, while effectively constraining geometric error. Two tool size optimization schemes are presented for maximizing productivity and minimizing geometric error while accounting for dynamic effects uniquely present at the microscale. Finally, the development of a low-cost, high-precision micro-mesoscale machining center (mMC) is presented.

The online catwalk will involve virtual models showcasing the actress and designer's new Twenty8Twelve range and will allow users to order the outfits.
Virtually Linked is recreating their Fashion Week shows on website Second Life.
The 25th London Fashion Week ended on Sunday after record sales estimated at more than £100 million. Virtually Linked hopes people will buy Miller's designs for hundreds of pounds per outfit after seeing them on the online catwalk.
Users can buy the clothes by clicking a link on Second Life which will take them to the designers' websites.
Virtually Linked spokeswoman Deborah Butler said: "This is really about mixing the real world with the virtual world. We believe that fashion is an important part of the virtual world, so we are working with designers to give them a way to take part."
Second Life has a virtual recreation of London roads such as Kensington High Street, where users can buy virtual or real goods. More than £30 million is traded between the website's players each month, and an estimated 126 million people have used the service. Miss Butler said: "The designers we have worked with are really testing the water, but we are hopeful they will begin selling pieces online.
"We think if an outfit looks good enough, and is exclusive enough, it could sell for hundreds of pounds."
The virtual models or "avatars", will be controlled by Second Life users. Miss Butler added: "The biggest challenge was recreating the look and feel of fabric." Miller said London women had inspired her collection, which includes stonewash denim, soft leather and crop tops.
Ms Grachvogel said: "I look forward to this being a regular feature on the London Fashion Week calendar."Reuse content

Hotlines will remain open for modified hours during the holidays, with the exception of a closure on December 25.
The AGLC 2015-16 Annual Report highlights the significant contributions gaming and liquor activities are making to Albertas revenue and the success of many community initiatives across the province.
Highlights from this years annual report include an overview of Albertas charitable gaming activities, which earned $352 million in revenue. As noted in the report, more than $1.5 billion from provincial gaming was placed in the Alberta Lottery Fund. From the liquor side of business, more than $855 million went to the General Revenue Fund from liquor and licensing operations.
New this year, the charitable gaming in review, which was previously a separate publication, is now included in the Annual Report.
This holiday season, Albertas youth are putting their pencils to paper to draw the line on drinking and driving. Contest winners design to be on 1 million liquor bags.

Do you ever wonder what happens to your body when you drink alcohol? Is it safe to drink at any stage of pregnancy? How much is one drink when you consume either beer, wine or spirits? How can I talk to kids about alcohol?
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) is launching DrinkSense, a responsible drinking campaign that will provide Albertans with information and resources to answer these questions.
Effective August 8, the AGLC is pleased to announce that current restrictions on hours of service, consumption and entertainment on patios has been eliminated.
Liquor service on patios will now be the same as licensed premise hours. Patios will no longer be required to end by midnight followed by a one-hour consumption period. The AGLC will no longer mandate restrictions with regard to recorded music, DJ booths, and live entertainment. For more information refer to... Patio Hours
Small brewers in Alberta will be able to invest and grow their business, thanks to a new grant that will support local entrepreneurship and economic diversification.
Beginning August 5, Alberta-based brewers who produce and sell no more than 300,000 hectolitres in Alberta annually will be eligible to participate in the Alberta Small Brewers Development Program.
In ongoing efforts to promote local jobs, economic development and trade consistency, the Government of Alberta is updating the markup for beer products sold throughout the province. The President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance, Joe Ceci, has directed the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission board to set the beer markup to $1.25/L, regardless of the size of the company or location of production. The markup takes effect August 5. The change applies to beer only. For more information please refer to Liquor Markup

"The AGLC is proud of the Best Bar None participating venues. These establishments continue to raise the bar on service standards and redefine what being the 'best' in the hospitality industry means with respect to customer service and safety. Calgarians should take note - these are the places to visit for a fun, enjoyable night out."
- Shane Loxterkamp, Vice President, Compliance and Social Responsibility.
The AGLC has eliminated the 8 p.m. limit on 'happy hours', allowing liquor establishments to offer reduced drink prices at any time during operating hours, provided the prices follow minimum drink pricing guidelines.
"The AGLC strives to make sure our policies support progressive business environments, are in the public interest, and, ultimately, help us deliver on our promise to provide choices Albertans can trust. We recognized the 8 p.m. limit on 'happy hours' was not meeting these objectives and, as a result, the limit was eliminated. The new policy responds to industry's needs and is better aligned with our social responsibility mandate."
- Bill Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer
Liquor licensees, please refer to the policy bulletin for details of this policy amendment.
The Stampede is a major event in our province, bringing thousands of visitors to Calgary to enjoy the unique Stampede experience. Throughout the festivities, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is pleased to support liquor-licensed businesses with more flexible liquor service hours.
Bars, restaurants and lounges in the City of Calgary have the option to start liquor service at 8 a.m. during the 2016 Stampede, July 8-17. This blanket approval applies to all Class A, B and C liquor licensees in the City of Calgary. Licensees do not have to apply for this particular extension, which is for early service only. Closing hours for liquor service are not changing and all other rules guiding the service remain in effect. Licensees are expected to continue to offer service in a socially responsible way to ensure the safety of their patrons during these special hours.
Businesses on the parade route can contact the AGLC to request early liquor service hours of 7 a.m. for the Parade Day, July 8. Anyone holding a special event with the intention of serving alcohol must apply for a liquor licence. Hours for special events are determined on a case-by-case basis.
The AGLC regularly considers early service hours for major international sporting events or for major community events such as the Calgary Stampede.
Albertans over 18 can now try self-service technology at four Real Canadian Superstore® locations
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) and Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) want to find out whether Albertans 18 and over are interested in using self-service machines as an additional, convenient way to purchase scratch tickets.
Over the last eight months, Instant Ticket Vending Machines have been tested at 20 age-controlled casinos and Gaming Entertainment Centres in Calgary and Edmonton as part of a pilot project. Now, four of the machines are being moved to select Real Canadian Superstore® locations to test their acceptance in a public setting.
The machines will be available at Real Canadian Superstore® locations at the following addresses:
In order to purchase a ticket, a player must first scan the 2D barcode on their driver's licence to prove they are 18 years or older. The Instant Ticket Vending Machines simply scan the licence, and do not retain any information about the purchaser. The machines are cash-only, do not give change, sell tickets ranging from $1 to $30 and include several responsible gambling features.
The pilot is scheduled to run until September 17, 2016. The pilot results will be reviewed before determining whether to continue or expand Instant Ticket Vending Machine placement.
In tough economic times, it is not uncommon for individuals to dream about winning the big cash prize or jackpot by gambling on their favourite activities. Albertans are reminded that gambling is entertainment and not a way to make money as part of Responsible Gambling Awareness Week running May 3-10.
The AGLC Board welcomes Gael MacLeod as a new member. Ms. MacLeods appointment is effective immediately for a term ending April 1, 2019.
Former councillor for the City of Calgary, Ms. MacLeod also served in leadership roles on several government and community boards, including Calgary Community Lottery Board, Calgary Housing Company, and the City of Calgary Audit Committee.

Grade 6 student's powerful message on impaired driving selected as overall winner for provincial liquor bag contest.
One child's powerful message on the dangers of impaired driving emphasizes the hope that Alberta's roads will be safer.
Keana Hollmann, a Grade 6 student from Tofield School, is the overall winner of the inaugural Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) Alberta Liquor Bag Contest.
Selected from more than 150 entries province-wide, Keana's winning
design and message will be printed on one million brown paper bags
distributed to liquor stores throughout the province starting May long
"My liquor bag states that you shouldn't drink and drive becauseyou can hurt yourself and others. Never forget that others have feelings. If you hurt yourself, you're also hurting others so never drink and drive."
- Keana Hollmann, Grade six student, Tofield School
All submissions were judged based on originality, messaging and design. In
addition to the overall winner, nine entries were also selected from three
categories: Kindergarten to Grade 6, Grade 7 to Grade 9, and Grade 10 to
12. All winners will be awarded gift cards for their efforts.
"Congratulations to Keana, the winners and all the students and
schools for helping to spread these important messages on
impaired driving. This is a terrific partnership with SADD Alberta
which ties into our commitment to social responsibility to help
people make safe choices and avoid alcohol-related harms. All the submissions from students are a powerful reminder that we all play a role to help keep Albertans safe."
- Bill Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission
Now in its fourth year, the SADD Alberta Liquor Bag campaign works with participating elementary, junior high and high schools to have students create a message on the dangers of impaired driving. Once students create their messages about impaired driving on the bags, they are then delivered to select liquor stores in the student's community by teachers or a SADD representative. More than 250 schools throughout the province created impaired driving messages on more than 60,000 liquor bags.
"We can all be impressed with the courage and the dedication that is demonstrated by Alberta's youth when taking a stand against the dangers of driving while impaired. Congratulations to Keana, and all of the students across Alberta who participated in the campaign. Their messages will make someone think about their choices and in turn, will help to make Alberta's roads safe. We have a responsibility to continue to share the messages of these students as well, and to ensure that we always drive safe and drive sober. Remember – 'Friends Don't Let Friends Drink and Drive'."

The low Canadian dollar paid off for Fort McMurray resident Sylvia Bennett, who became Albertas newest millionaire while taking a staycation in Edmonton.
"Friends of mine wanted to go to Vegas but because the Canadian dollar is so low, we decided we'd do a Canadian version of Vegas and we went to Edmonton for the weekend," says Bennett. Bennett was at the River Cree Resort & Casino with her husband Dave and their friends on Friday, February 26, when she hit the jackpot on the Diamond Millions progressive slot machine. Bennett was so thrilled, she says she couldn't believe her eyes.
"I thought no, no way! I'm looking at the zeros and I looked at the guy next to me and he's like, 'Yes, you won $1 million!' and I still didn't believe it." The sawmill worker celebrated her windfall with champagne and a 30 oz. steak dinner, and says she's taking her time before deciding what to do with the money.
Bennett hinted, however, that she is excited to be mortgage-free and would like to take a family vacation with her husband and their two sons."I'd like to pick something that we thought was too expensive before and do that. My husband wants to see Rome and Cuba."
Bennett is the fourteenth person in Alberta to win more than $1 million playing Diamond Millions since 2012. Diamond Millions can be found at all casinos and Racing Entertainment Centres in Alberta, and has a jackpot that starts at $1 million. The AGLC reminds Albertans to keep gambling fun; if you gamble, use your GameSense.
The regions bars, pubs, clubs, lounges and casinos are invited to participate in Best Bar None, an accreditation and awards program aimed at improving public safety and rewarding higher customer service in the citys nightlife industry.
"Everyone in the community has a role to play in helping to curb liquor-related harm and violence. With its proactive approach to addressing harmful behavior and a focus on providing more enjoyable entertainment environments, we are excited to launch Best Bar None in Wood Buffalo."
- Bob Couture, Executive Director, Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Community and Protective Services
Already operating in 120 accredited establishments in Edmonton, Calgary and Grande Prairie, the Best Bar None program aims to reduce alcohol-related problems by:
"Best Bar None is a great opportunity for liquor licensed establishments to adopt some of the industry's best practices and learn how to be more proactive in their operations. Since launching in Edmonton in 2010, it's been a great success in Alberta. I encourage all eligible venues to take part in the program and show their patrons their commitment to great customer service and safety." - Bill Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission
The program is a partnership between the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) and the community's hospitality industry.
Awareness campaign encourages young adult Albertans to think about responsible drinking.
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) is launching an awareness campaign on responsible drinking among young adult Albertans.
The goal of the Enjoy Responsibly campaign is to inform and educate young adults as to what and how much it means to drink in moderation and help them make responsible decisions by promoting Canadas Low Risk Drinking Guidelines.
"This campaign is another example of our commitment to social responsibility. We are promoting a culture of moderation and ensuring young Albertans have the information they need to make responsible drinking choices. The tie-in to Canadas Low-Risk Drinking Guidelines provides a valuable opportunity to create greater awareness for both genders on how to enjoy responsibly without long-term health effects." - Bill Robinson, President and CEO, AGLC.
The campaign, which runs from February 22 to March 20, 2016, features Canadas Low-Risk Drinking Guidelines with the statement "Easier than youd think" and depicts environments where young adults enjoy consuming alcohol. ...more.
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission has charged long-term Northlands Park employee Alice Marie Linton of Edmonton, Alberta, with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000.
Ms. Linton is scheduled to appear in court on April 27, 2016.
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is committed to ensuring the integrity of Albertas gaming and liquor industries, generating revenue for the province and the people of Alberta, while recognizing and responding to the social impacts of its products and services.
A lottery prize scam is currently operating across Canada.
Fraudsters have been contacting the public, claiming to be representatives of fictitious but legitimate-sounding organizations, such as the "International Gaming Commission" and the "Canadian Gaming and Lottery Commission." Neither organization exists.
The scam operates via fraudsters telling members of the public that they have been selected as winners of major prizes, which can be claimed by paying a fee. The AGLC does not call people to tell them that they have won a prize. There are also no prize claim fees.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is aware of this scam. Anyone who has been targeted in the scam may call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, or online at www.antifraudcentre.ca.
More than 306 kilograms of contraband shisha tobacco, contraband cigarettes, and flavoured cigars were seized by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC). The total potential lost tax revenue is estimated to be more than $116,000.
The contraband products were found as a result of a search warrant in Edmonton at Alexs Convenience Store in January. Hiwot Atnafu and Alemayehu (Alex) Girma have been charged with several violations, including Criminal Code charges for fraud over $5,000, trafficking in contraband tobacco as well as charges under the provincial Tobacco Tax Act for possession of more than 1,000 grams of tobacco. Both are scheduled to appear in Edmonton Provincial Court on March 16, 2016.
Our 2014-15 Annual Report demonstrates the AGLC's continued commitment to ensuring the integrity of Alberta's gaming and liquor industries, generating revenue for the province and the people of Alberta, while recognizing and responding to the social impacts of our products and services. As noted in the report, more than $1.5 billion from provincial gaming was placed in the Alberta Lottery Fund and nearly $766 million went to the General Revenue Fund from liquor and licensing operations.
Additionally, the Charitable Gaming in Review provides important insight into Alberta's charitable gaming model, defining which groups are eligible for gaming licences and how charitable gaming funds are used. This report also details the amount of revenue generated by charities from each gaming activity and how the province maintains the integrity of gaming activities. In 2014-15, Alberta charities earned $342 million through charitable gaming activities.
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) is promoting a holiday message to remind all Albertans that lottery products are not appropriate gifts to minors for Christmas or any time of year.
Buying, scratching and cashing in lottery products is reserved for adults only and is considered just as much a gambling activity as playing vlts.
"While lottery tickets and scratch cards are a joy to give, they are gambling activities for adults and not for kids," said Bill Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. "Whether it's the holiday season or any time of year, the AGLC encourages everyone not to purchase lottery products for minors."
Research has previously shown that nearly one fifth of Alberta parents reported that they had given their child a lottery ticket as a holiday or birthday gift. Gambling at an earlier age is also a risk factor associated with problem gambling later in life.
The AGLC's holiday minors awareness campaign is part of an ongoing educational campaign to ensure both retailers and Albertans know they are key partners in helping to prevent underage gambling.
The AGLC is committed to providing safe and responsible gaming entertainment options for Alberta players. The AGLC also supports provincial efforts to reduce gambling-related harm, with a goal to enable Albertans to make positive choices for themselves and enjoy gambling activities in a fun and responsible way.

If we look back to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, we see that even three years ago the world was a very different place. In this short time, we've witnessed rapid and widespread adoption of increasingly sophisticated devices and applications. As a result, expectations of communications technology at home, at work and at play have skyrocketed.
Our eager adoption of communications technology is never more apparent than during a large-scale international event. In just six months' time, the Black Sea resort of Sochi will host approximately 5,500 Olympic athletes, 25,000 volunteers and is forecast to attract approximately three billion TV viewers. Of the 75,000 people expected to visit the park each day, many will bring bandwidth-hungry devices and expect them to work seamlessly. But why is all this relevant to the world of business?
Today, people have become so accustomed to using the latest technologies in their private lives, they expect the same user experience and functionality at work. As a result, businesses are investing in infrastructures that are flexible enough to manage the variety of technologies employees bring into the office.
In fact, we can draw many parallels between the Olympics and the world of modern business. Regardless of the scale and profile of the project, organisations of all sizes face similar challenges and all have the opportunity to overcome them by creating flexible environments that embrace the multiplicity of devices consumers are using today.
Indeed, thanks to the rapid development of mobile technologies we have become a hyper-connected generation carrying with us multiple smart devices capable of sharing information anywhere and at any time. At Sochi 2014, the organisers are expecting video streaming on tablet and mobile to make a breakthrough.
Therefore, when building the infrastructure, it was essential to deliver a secure BYOD (bring your own device) environment for organisers, athletes, media, and supporters; so that both participants and fans can share their experiences on-the-go through social media, messaging and live streaming. Consequently, it was also crucial to implement a network that could identify and grant secure access to range of different user groups, while coping with vast amounts of data and huge spikes in traffic.
Similarly, businesses need to respond positively to the BYOD trend where employees want to use their own smart devices at work and access a greater volume of multimedia content. Therefore, businesses are finding it increasingly important to adopt tools that will allow the network to determine the identity of the user, their status in the organisation and the type of device they are using, and thereby grant the type and level of access, depending on who they are (ie, an employee or a passing supplier).
The Greenfield Sochi site has also thrown landscape-based challenges our way, as the events and venues will take place in both a mountain and a coastal cluster, where there was previously little infrastructure. This meant the network not only had to be built from scratch but had to provide seamless connectivity and consistent quality of service across all venues.
For their part, businesses both large and small experience logistical challenges when building networking infrastructure. Increasingly, employees expect to be able to work from anywhere, and at any time, as effectively and securely as they would at their "desk". This means that businesses too must be prepared to provide a network that can deliver seamless access across multiple locations.
What is evident, therefore, is that the challenges faced when implementing infrastructure for a large-scale event such as the Olympics, are not too dissimilar from the concerns of everyday business. Whether this is in terms of logistical hurdles, security issues or bandwidth demands, consumer adoption and appetite for cutting-edge technologies is impacting infrastructure investment in both the personal and professional lives of ordinary people. .

European stocks trim Friday's gains; SAP drops after profit warning
* FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.8 pct
* Tech sector weaker with Gemalto also slumping
* Nutreco, Adidas, Havas surge on M&A activity (Adds quote, detail, updates prices)
By Alistair Smout
EDINBURGH, Oct 20 (Reuters) - European stocks fell early on Monday, trimming lofty gains made in the previous session, with SAP's profit warning hitting shares in the tech sector.
Shares in the German business software maker fell 4.1 percent after it cut its outlook for full-year operating profit, echoing a raft of profit and sales warnings from other tech groups in the past few weeks.
Dutch tech firm Gemalto plunged 6.1 percent after Barclays cut the stock to underweight from overweight, and with SAP it was a top faller on the STOXX 600 Technology index , which was down 2 percent.
SAP was the worst performer on the German DAX, which fell 1.4 percent, lagging other major European stock indexes. It has dropped 7.7 percent so far in October, after data called into question Germany's economic resilience.
Both the technology sector and German blue-chip index are very sensitive to economic growth, or highly "cyclical". Continuación...

From the Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research.
CORRESPONDENCE TO: Inderpaul Singh Sehgal, MD, DM, Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh-160012, India; e-mail: email@example.com
FINANCIAL/NONFINANCIAL DISCLOSURES: The authors have reported to CHEST that no potential conflicts of interest exist with any companies/organizations whose products or services may be discussed in this article.
Reproduction of this article is prohibited without written permission from the American College of Chest Physicians. See online for more details.
We read with great interest in a recent issue of CHEST (March 2015) the Point and Counterpoint editorials by Blumenthal1 and Pastis and Strange.2 We agree that trained nurse practitioners (NPs) can perform several medical procedures, including intubation, CPR, and others.3 However, performing transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) requires not only training in flexible bronchoscopy but also several other aspects that a clinician acquires only after years of experience. Blumenthal1 suggests the training for flexible bronchoscopy received by the NPs and physicians is the same. However, this is debatable.
In India, training of a physician involves 4½ years of medical school followed by 1 year of internship. This is followed by 3 years of training in internal medicine and another 3 years of fellowship in pulmonary medicine before he or she can perform flexible bronchoscopy skillfully. In these 12 years, a physician is trained in various aspects of medicine (eg, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic approach) apart from performing diagnostic procedures. The training program for NPs in India involves 3 to 4 years of training in various aspects of nursing care, with only an overview of anatomy, physiology, and other subjects. At least in India, the training schedule of a physician differs vastly from that of an NP. Whether the training program of a NP in the United States is different from other places is not clear.
Before performing any procedure, it is important to understand the indication for the procedure and assess the risk-benefit ratio. In carrying out TBLB, one needs to be trained not only in the art of flexible bronchoscopy (including management of complications associated with TBLB, such as bleeding and pneumothorax) but also in the interpretation of chest imaging (chest radiography and CT scans of thorax).4 Moreover, in several diseases, more than one procedure will be required. In sarcoidosis, for example, additional procedures, including endobronchial biopsy or transbronchial needle aspiration (either conventional or endobronchial ultrasound guided) may be needed.5 This requires an NP to be trained in the entire gamut of pulmonary procedures. We doubt that this would be practical.
Finally, TBLB is not a very complex procedure associated with high complication rate, as presented by Pastis and Strange.2 In fact, TBLB is a routine bronchoscopy procedure that is safe and is performed on an outpatient basis by a trained pulmonologists.4,6 Whether it can be performed by nonpulmonologists is the question.

BMW car, truck, or SUV drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their 328i xDrive around town.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2881) Track FieldInfo per segment instead of per-IW-session
|Sun, 20 Mar 2011 08:46:29 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2881?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13008892#comment-13008892 ] Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2881: ----------------------------------------- bq. if we open a pre-4.0 SIS, make changes, write a new SIS (commit), do we change that new instance's format to 4.0 (in RAM)? Ie, so that files() is correct...? hmm actually we don't while the DefaultSIWriter changes it upon write which is not reflected to ram. We might should do that either before we write in DSIWriter. The other thing is that we should carry over the format from the oldSegment in the case we open a specific commit point. I will write a test first that hopefully triggers a fail and fix that accordingly. > Track FieldInfo per segment instead of per-IW-session > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2881 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2881 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: Realtime Branch, CSF branch, 4.0 > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Assignee: Simon Willnauer > Fix For: Realtime Branch, CSF branch, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2881.patch, LUCENE-2881.patch, LUCENE-2881.patch, lucene-2881.patch, lucene-2881.patch, lucene-2881.patch, lucene-2881.patch, lucene-2881.patch > > > Currently FieldInfo is tracked per IW session to guarantee consistent global field-naming / ordering. IW carries FI instances over from previous segments which also carries over field properties like isIndexed etc. While having consistent field ordering per IW session appears to be important due to bulk merging stored fields etc. carrying over other properties might become problematic with Lucene's Codec support. Codecs that rely on consistent properties in FI will fail if FI properties are carried over. > The DocValuesCodec (DocValuesBranch) for instance writes files per segment and field (using the field id within the file name). Yet, if a segment has no DocValues indexed in a particular segment but a previous segment in the same IW session had DocValues, FieldInfo#docValues will be true since those values are reused from previous segments. > We already work around this "limitation" in SegmentInfo with properties like hasVectors or hasProx which is really something we should manage per Codec & Segment. Ideally FieldInfo would be managed per Segment and Codec such that its properties are valid per segment. It also seems to be necessary to bind FieldInfoS to SegmentInfo logically since its really just per segment metadata. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Familiar Tale(1995)
(The sixth book in the Fear Familiar series)
A novel by Caroline Burnes
Fear Familiar: Join the coolest feline detective to ever take on mystery, mayhem and matchmaking. Once upon a time...scandal rocked a Southern town. When Mobile's favorite son was accused of kidnapping, reporter James Tenet scooped the story of a lifetime. But he'd only scratched the surface -- even the scent of gardenias couldn't disguise the reek of deceit that hung in the humid air. Only one angry female stood in his way. As the accused's friend, Jennifer Barkley was James's only link to the truth behind the ugly rumors. And while he adored the furious flash of her eyes, James knew he had to -- wanted to -- kiss and make up. Maybe Jennifer's feline friend, Familiar, was his way to her heart... and the rest of the story. But there were two things James couldn't understand -- cats... and women

It's hard to look at the construction photos of this wooden Quonset hut without wishing I had the time and space to build one too.
The photos are posted on the forum at workshopaddict.com. The first page will give you a sense of how the builder fabricated curved arches; the second has more of the details. I have no idea how (or if) he got a permit for it; all I know is that I would kill to have such a large and cool-looking shop.
I went online to see if there was any precedent for building a wooden Quonset hut (there is) and ran across a site devoted to Quonset huts. It contains a lot of good photos and information I didn't know – such as, that Quonset huts are derived from the WW1 era Nissen hut, and that the Nissen hut is loosely based on the Iroquois long house. If any of you have (or know of) a cool or unusual shop I'd love to hear about it (you can reach me at email@example.com).
