The Caribbean is composed of over 7,000 beautiful islands. Going to the region without setting foot on any of these islands is a big letdown. Thus, when planning your trip, you need to be sure you write down at least two or three destinations within The Caribbean. Going from one place to another can be taxing, though; so it's a good thing that there are affordable flights travelers can choose from.
United Airlines
United Airlines flies nonstop to The Caribbean.
- Saturdays: Chicago to Grand Cayman, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos, and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo
- Houston, Texas to Grand Cayman
- Los Angeles to Grand Cayman
- New York/Newark, New Jersey to Grand Cayman
- Washington, DC to Grand Cayman
- Washington, DC to Bermuda
- Houston, Texas to Bermuda
- Chicago, Illinois to Bermuda
Rates are affordable, starting from a little over $200 roundtrip.
American Airlines
American Airlines also flies to The Caribbean regularly. In fact, it brings passengers from the United States to more or less 30 cities in the region. That totals to over 500 flights weekly. Here are some of the flights:
- Texas to Grand Cayman
- Chicago (O'Hare) to Grand Cayman
- New York to Grand Cayman
- New York to Bermuda
- Washington, DC to Bermuda
- Washington, DC to Grand Cayman
The rates are affordable and vary according to the route. Some airlines fly nonstop, while some have stopovers.
JetBlue flies to the Caribbean several times a week, although not on a daily basis. Here are some of their USA-Caribbean flights:
- New York to Grand Cayman
- New York to Bermuda
- New York to St. Lucia
- Los Angeles to Aruba
- Los Angeles to Bermuda
- Washington, DC to St. Lucia
- Washington, DC to Antigua, Antigua, and Barbuda
- Washington, DC to Aruba

Henry Wu – 'Negotiate' EP
Here's (almost) everything you need to know about Henry Wu
With hip hop sensibility applied to both ends of the synth boogie spectrum, Henry Wu has got the streets talking.
With the organic and slightly abstract approach to electronic music, which would be the best way to describe Henry Wu's productions, we present to you, the 'Negoiate' EP. Henry Wu is a musician and beatmaker from South London and part of the 22a crew that includes STW favourites Al Dobson Jr and Reginald Omas Mamode IV.
Like his previous self-released EPs, it effortlessly blended J Dilla style dusty, soul-flecked instrumental hip-hop with elements of jazz, broken beat, synth boogie and Moodymann style deep house. To date, Wu's productions have portrayed him as a slightly blazed, MPC-wielding beatmaker more concerned with wringing maximum warmth and soul from each beat, chord and melody, than fitting into any particular genre or dancefloor niche.
'Negotiate' spans five cuts that takes you on a musical journey through loose soulful grooves, dusty fingered beats and bumpy analog house. Bringing that redlight, basementality throughout.


text: Are you tired of the drama that comes with hiring service companies? We take the drama out of hiring service industry men particularly those in the plumbing field. We have set aside specific ways in which we help to cut down the drama. We have spent time looking at all of the areas where clients get frustrated with plumbing companies. From plumbers in Augusta GA to plumbers in Spartanburg SC, we have all kinds of great stories of they are frustrated. They get frustrated with the lack of honest, poor communication, no forms, no insurance, no license. All of these things bring about a lot of drama. What if you were to cut down on these things? What if we had something in place that would our clients not to experience this drama? We believe we have found out the way to do this. We looking forward to sharing our ideas on our blog.

Read Recent Testimonies
"I had already been in two Mental Institutions for contemplating suicide. This time I was going to kill myself and there was no way of stopping me. I took a ton of medication and that night, I went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to my Mom's bedroom. I hit my head on the dresser because I felt very dizzy. Mom found Marvelous Grace Girls Academy! I would like to give all honor and praise to The LORD for a great plan of Salvation. I was SAVED on July 05, 2013 on a Friday Morning. It was during our Missions Conference at MGGA. Missionary Jeremy Holloway was preaching. I felt conviction in my heart and told Brother Blankenship that I needed to be SAVED. He took me into the kitchen and showed me some verses about Salvation; he asked me what they meant to me. Right there, I called upon The Name of The LORD and I was Born Again!"
"Thank you so much for being there for me. I'm so blessed to have you in my life at this moment. You have done so much for me, God bless you for your love toward us girls and their families. Thank you so much for you and your family." Gabrielle
I just wanted to say that I am so thankful for everything that y'all did for me when I was at MGGA!!!! Your guidance and spiritual wisdom made me into a stronger Christian. Your one of the spiritual giants in my life. Thank you so much!!! I'm so grateful to call you my spiritual father. Its been two years since I've been saved. If I hadn't gone to MGGA I wouldn't be the person who I am today thank you soooo much!!!!
I grew up in church, but as I got older I only wanted to go to see my friends. I got farther and farther out of God's Word. When I was 13 I started getting involved with boys and stuff on the internet. I was disobedient toward my parents and at church I just went with the flow. Being in the world never helps and I was so depressed that I tried to commit suicide. Well, my parents found out and they sent me to a behavioral hospital, I grew even bitterer at them and they were just trying to help me. I was there for almost 2 weeks and was given pills for depression. When I went home I tried to commit suicide again and I went back to the behavioral hospital for about a week, then I went to a group home. 5 days later my dad came and picked me up and we came to Marvelous Grace Girls Academy. Miss Tanya and another staff came out and I thought, "Oh dear, they are wearing skirts!" Well, the days went on and in March 2015, MGGA attended The Bible Baptist Church Jubilee, Rossville, GA. Tuesday Night, I trusted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour! I'm thankful that when you're done and you just give up, God's there to pick you up, dust you off, and encourage you to keep going. Praise the Lord for saving me and making me a new person in Christ. My parents and my relationship are mending more than I ever thought it would, so praise the Lord! Skyler
"I love this place! I really feel like the people here are really trying to help me get back on my feet and get better. The people here really care about me."
"God has blessed me in so many ways. He has given me a new outlook on life. He SAVED me in March of 2015. He has kept me going when I have struggled the most. I love how The LORD gives us so much grace on everything we do. We can mess up over and over again and HE forgives us. God can change the lives of people. HE DID MINE! There are girls that go through MGGA and I see them change and grow in Christ. God has given me Character…He has helped me realize when I am wrong…He is a merciful God. In addition to the grace He has given me, He has placed people in my life to lead me in the right way. He has given me a loving Mom, and Step Dad, who enrolled me into MGGA to get help, and I Praise The LORD for this! For my 16thBirthday, my Mom rented an Inflatable Obstacle Course, with a water slide! All the girls and staff enjoyed it. Here, I can live out my Beautiful Girlhood, without peer pressure and without a push to grow up too fast!"
Early from Birth, my Mother did not have good behavior or good care of me. The State took custody of me, where I lived in three different Foster Homes. At Nine years of Age, I was Adopted by my family. Oh, they loved me and cared for me from the very start! This Adoption was the happiest day of my life…however, after about nine months, the "honeymoon stage" was over. My first suicide attempt really surprised my Mother. She began seeking help for me. I started cutting my arms and legs. I have been countless times to Behavioral Hospitals, Residential Treatment Centers, Therapist Counseling, etc. I have been placed on so many Behavioral Medications; I cannot keep up with them. At my last RTC, about the seventh month mark, I began acting crazy until they discharged me. Then I came to Marvelous Grace Girls Academy. At first I hated it. I made false professions of faith hoping it would get me out of here. It didn't. I threw fits, and broke every rule…every time…all the time. But, God! On May 5th, we were at a service and a Preacher was preaching on, "Are you serving God who is failing to live up to your expectations?" I got convicted, and I got on my knees, humbling myself and accepted Christ as my personal Saviour. I never will regret doing it. He has helped me so much in the last few months I love Him dearly.

I don't know about you, but these days, reality out there appears more and more surreal to me.
Sometimes, when the curtains are drawn and candles are casting a warm glow over our huge gathering table, reality shifts.
From memory I know what's out there, behind those curtains. But I also have a knowing that there is a different reality. An extremely vivid but fleeting picture that seems to be superimposed over the memorised one.

Clubs welcoming quality approach
FAILTE Ireland want golf clubs to pay them €500 each -- but it could be a big-value investment for a small outlay.
The tourism body is making a twin-track assault on declining numbers of golfing visitors to this country.
On the home front, clubs can gain a certificate of quality assurance via the first minimum standards guidelines applied to golf facilities in Ireland.
This scheme operates in the same way that ratings are given to hotels. For €500, the club gets an initial assessment and two years membership of the scheme. Ireland is the first country to undertake a nationwide scheme of this type for golf courses.
Already, assessors are at work in clubs around the country and one club official said: "We were very impressed with the detail that goes into this.
"Some of the items we just hadn't thought about, but we will implement them and it can only help if we can publicise the fact that we are 'approved to Failte Ireland standards.'"
Every aspect relevant to a customer visiting a club is assessed, including reservations systems, making sure staff are fully knowledgeable about green fees, promotions and cancellation policies, signage, health and safety.
Among the benefits are promotional opportunities on Irish tourism websites and the chance to take part in Failte Ireland promotional and marketing activities across all media.
A total of 18 clubs took part in a pilot programme throughout July and August last year and feedback was positive. Already 32 have received their quality assurance certificates, and another 50 are going through the vetting process in the coming weeks.
The guidelines were approved by the Golf Industry Forum last September.
On the international front, a €1.5m promotional campaign aimed at enticing golfers from Britain and Europe to play here will be launched within the next few weeks. Ireland and the excellent variety of golf we offer, particularly the links courses, badly needs a marketing boost.
Wales, which cannot match our golf product in terms of variety or quality, is making the best use it can of staging the Ryder Cup later this year.
Scotland has always been sold as 'the home of golf' and is vigorously revamping its own marketing in advance of the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in 2014.
Ironically, our golf tourism promotional activity in the eight years prior to the 2006 Ryder Cup was the envy of our near neighbours.
Golf dropped down the agenda of tourism chiefs after that, and it is not before time that a positive development is made to get golfers here to play.

We overcame the resolution limit of scanning far-field fluorescence microscopy by disabling the fluorescence from the outer part of the focal spot. Whereas a near-UV pulse generates a diffraction-limited distribution of excited molecules, a spatially offset pulse quenches the excited molecules from the outer part of the focus through stimulated emission. This results in a subdiffraction-sized effective point-spread function. For a 1.4 aperture and a 388-nm excitation wavelength spatial resolution is increased from 150±8 nm to 106±8 nm with a single offset beam. Superior lateral resolution is demonstrated by separation of adjacent Pyridine 2 nanocrystals that are otherwise indiscernible.

What is factoring in math?
An essential math skill, factoring provides a basis for numerous concepts in both arithmetic and algebra. Understanding what factoring is, and how it works, is crucial for advancing in math.DefinitionFactoring is the process of breaking down algebraic equations and expressions into "factors," which are chunks of multiplication. Unfactored expressions often contain many addition or subtraction signs and no parentheses, while factored expressions usually contain parentheses.
UsesFactoring has many uses, including simplifying rational expressions, finding the roots of a polynomial and solving trigonometric equations. Elementary school students even use factoring to reduce fractions.
Factor TreesFactor trees can http://privatetutoring.co/ help break down integers. The original number is written at the top, and lines are drawn out and downward as the number is split into increasingly smaller factors. The end result looks like an upside down tree.
Algebraic FactoringThere are several different techniques when it comes to factoring math expressions that contain variables. These include difference of squares, GCF factoring, trinomial http://download.cnet.com/The-Math-Tutor/3000-2053_4-10509498.html factoring, grouping and long division. Which technique is used often depends on the number of terms in the expression.
Zero Product PropertyFactoring goes hand in hand with the Zero Product Property, which states that if factors multiplied together equal zero, any factor could produce that result by being equal to zero. Hence, setting individual factors equal to zero will produce the solutions to polynomial equations and the X-intercepts of graphs.

Look at these goodies I got this week. AHHHHHH just beautiful. Lots of color! For those in Durango, I got these at the amazing store, Durango Sewing Center (153 E. 15th St.). It really is a wonderful store. These are all fat quarters. I really want to make a quilt for my daughter but I might use these fat quarters for knot dresses and purses. Not sure yet.
Close up. COLOR!!!!!
Lots of flowers, blues, and purples (and 2 more yards from my coat I made).
This is purple and black. I think purses in the future..... So if you live in Durango, visit this great store. Gayle, the owner, is doing so well with lots of classes that she's expanding the store. She has some great sales right now too. She fixes sewing machines (cleaned mine) and is so willing to answer questions. You can tell she just loves fabric and quilting and people.

"Our mission is to prevent the abuse and/or the theft of dogs in the State of Wyoming through promoting responsible pet ownership, community education and enhanced public and private agency communication."
This is the season that pet theft escalates across many cities in Wyoming, especially along the interstate corridors. Dogs from Casper have been found in Gillette and Cheyenne, a dog from Glenrock was found in Douglas, etc. PLEASE watch your animals as the increase in unemployment has created an increase in the dog flipping industry.
Please Help. My little fella was with grandma and bolted out of the camper door when opened while I was gone. He went looking for me and became lost. He has a loving home with a family that misses him so much. In a world, full of heartache and sadness he made my heart so happy. Lost in the Medicine Bow National Forest near the Bow River campground. Last seen by two men in a black Chevy Suburban or Tahoe on the side of the road heading out of the campground. The men say he ran from them but he was not seen again in the area. If you have any information on my Tinker Toy, please call 307-320-3289.

Studies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who take antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as lurasidone have an increased chance of death during treatment. Older adults with dementia may also have a greater chance of having a stroke or ministroke during treatment with antipsychotics.
Lurasidone is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of behavior disorders in older adults with dementia. Talk to the doctor who prescribed this medication if you, a family member, or someone you care for has dementia and is taking lurasidone. For more information visit the FDA website: Web Site
Lurasidone is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions). Lurasidone is in a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain.
Lurasidone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with a meal (at least 350 calories) once a day. Take lurasidone at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take lurasidone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Lurasidone controls schizophrenia but does not cure it. It may take several weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of lurasidone. Continue to take lurasidone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking lurasidone without talking to your doctor.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking lurasidone,
Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit and drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Lurasidone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, or those listed in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately:
Lurasidone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to lurasidone.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Litha falls in the middle of summer, right before things start to get unbearably hot in most parts of the world, so it's a perfect time to celebrate by having friends and family over for a cookout. Why not take advantage of this get-together and turn it into a fun celebration of the summer solstice? After all, if summer is about having fun with the people you love, a Litha backyard barbecue is the perfect way to mark the season!

Start by decorating your back yard with symbols of the season. If your tradition normally casts a circle prior to ritual, consider placing some unusual items on your altar and at the four points:

North (Earth): A sandbox, potted flowers, your garden

East (Air): Fans, pinwheels, hula hoops, a swingset

South (Fire): Sparklers (they're easy to find right before July 4th), your grill, a large fire bowl or pit

West (Water): Squirt guns, buckets of water, a sprinkler, a wading pool

Instead of casting a circle in the traditional way, invite your guests to help you invoke the elements in a way that celebrates the Litha season, using some of the symbols above. Wave a sparkler in the air when it's time to invoke fire, or jump in the pool to represent the element of water.

Plan on preparing food ahead of time - preferably using some method of flame or fire, such as your grill. Time your ceremony that it begins when the food is ready. Prepare a platter with a few samples of each item on it -- corn cobs, hot dogs, burgers, etc. - and place it on the altar, and ask your guests to form a circle surrounding it.

Begin by welcoming your friends and family members. If your tradition honors specific deities, invite them to join you for a feast. If you simply wish to celebrate the season, you can just pay homage to the spirits of the land, or thank the earth and sun for the bounty in front of you.

You can also incorporate this Litha prayer to the sun into your ceremony:

A Prayer to the Sun

The sun is high above us
shining down upon the land and sea,
making things grow and bloom.
Great and powerful sun,
we honor you this day
and thank you for your gifts.
Ra, Helios, Sol Invictus, Aten, Svarog,
you are known by many names.
You are the light over the crops,
the heat that warms the earth,
the hope that springs eternal,
the bringer of life.
We welcome you, and we honor you this day,
celebrating your light,
as we begin our journey once more
into the darkness.

Once you have honored the sun and the power it brings, invite each guest to approach the altar. At this time, they can make an offering to individual deities, to the sun itself, or to the local spirits of the garden and land.

Finally, ask the gods of your tradition to bless the food on the altar. Everyone should take a moment to bask in the sun's rays, and then dismiss the circle - it's time to dig into your summer feast!

Run Small, sizing chart should be in listing
I received the sizing chart attached to the product. If it is on the tag itself, O could have included it in the listing. What a waste of return shipping money and time. It would have only taken a few minutes to clarify sizing. Since they probably won't be posting the size chart, order a size up from what you normally do, because this product definitely runs small. Usually a 35" hip is for a size 2. For this it's a size 4. I ordered 4, which I normally wear... no way that will fit comfortably! The length was good for an average sized woman (I'm 5'4") and it could definitely fit a taller person.Read More

Modern Farmhouse Bedroom (with a seven-year-old boy twist)
We've been in our house for just over a year now and my patient seven year old (is that even a thing?) is long overdue for a "cool room".
When I last showed you his room it looked like this (and still pretty much does). But I have a plan!
I wanted to give Chace an updated room that wasn't a) too grown up (he's only seven after all) b) too young (he's already seven after all) and reused some of the things we already had.
Influenced by the farmhouse craze my mind kept going there as a solution. I loved the masculine elements of that look but also really liked the flexibility it offered. So, I came up with a vision for how I could transform his room from "blah blue bore-ville" to "farmhouse fantasticness" (aka "a room almost as cool as Lego").
I will break down each element below and list my inspiration sources at the bottom of this post.
1) curtains and a dark curtain rod - I envision a nice white curtain and dark rod for a crisp, modern and clean look.
2) update light fixture - I love the look of this one. Not too 'trendy' but stylish enough to suit this look. I love the dark metal.
3) modern industrial reading light. This will go up on the wall above the loft bed so that Chace can read in bed if he likes. The on/off switch on this one is perfect since it's located on the light base. He won't have to get out of bed to turn it off.
4) I plan on planking the wall behind his bed with... wallpaper! Yes, this is wallpaper! I read some great reviews about it so am going to give it a try! I actually just received it a few days ago so stay tuned for how it turns out.
5) Loft bed! We received a hand-me-down loft bed a month or so ago (score!). It's already assembled but needs to be painted to match the vision I have. Stay tuned for that update soon too.
6) His existing bedding from his room at our old house (I think it's been discontinued though).
7) His existing dresser from his room at our old house.
8) Lego artwork - I plan to do something like this, but not quite. I love the idea of getting Chace involved in making art for his room though.
9a) Rustic, industrial modern wood shelves. I like shelves that don't take themselves too seriously and these ones look like they want transformers piled on them.
9b) A big canvas basket to hold rogue stuffies (awwwhhh)
10) A new desk chair. I think homework will be coming fast and furious soon!
11) A new desk. The inspiration is a combo of Ikea elements and I love the finished result.
12) A nice, light coat of paint
So, there we have it! I have been given approval to proceed from the client so now that I have the wood plank wallpaper in my hot little hands I am going to chose a wall colour that complements and begin painting. Then up goes the wall paper. I will keep you posted on the progress!

Facilities include lanes enabling full runups for fast bowlers and wicket-keepers stood back, Hawk-Eye cameras and advanced biomechanics analysis equipment.

One of my first tasks when we got to the Cape was to scour the Internet in search of good places to eat. As I was looking through reviews of restaurants online, I kept hearing about Ann and Fran's. Even reviews for other restaurants mentioned it, and everyone praised their Lobster Benedict. Since this combined two of my greatest loves, lobster and Benedict, I knew I had to get it!
We arrived at the restaurant at about 10 in the morning after walking off the previous night's dinner at Chapin's. I can see why this place fills up on weekends; there were only ten tables in the entire place (plus a bar with a few more seats). Fortunately, we came on a weekday, so less than half the tables were full. Despite the fact that we were sitting almost on top of our neighbors, the place was pretty quiet. I ordered the Lobster Benedict, of course, and Dan had the blueberry pancakes. We sat by the front window and watched the cars go by on the main road while we waited for our meals to come. Spoiler alert: the food was so good that we decided to go back.
To be fair, Dan's pancakes were just okay. He finished them, but he seemed much more excited about my meal. The Lobster Benedict, on the other hand, was amazing.
Of course, it wouldn't be called Lobster Benedict if there wasn't some lobster in the mix, and Ann and Fran's certainly doesn't skimp in that department. They piled the lobster high on top of the muffin, with a little extra claw meat sprinkled on top of the hollandaise just to remind you what you were eating. As you might expect, it was good lobster, too, with all of the briny, buttery goodness and none of the frozen, slightly fishy taste you get when you eat it in Denver. I guess being a couple thousand miles closer to the lobster homeland does make a difference. Dan's fork kept crossing over the edge of my plate and sneaking away with some pink deliciousness.
The lobster was definitely the star of the show, but the eggs certainly didn't detract from the dish. They were poached with a very runny yolk that combined with the hollandaise to give the dish a little extra juice. And of course, the hollandaise was buttery and decadent, with just enough lemon to keep it from being too heavy. As I mentioned before, it soaked into the English muffin and seasoned the potatoes.
The dish's one drawback (if you could call it that), was its size. It was huge! When I finished the last bite and finally pushed back from the table, I was completely stuffed. Looking back, I don't know how I finished it (Dan did help a little). When we went back, we decided to split one, which was a great decision. I got all the deliciousness but only half the calories!

To override, or not to override?
By Wayne Niederhauser
Senate President
Today, Governor Gary Herbert vetoed 5 bills passed during the 2015 General Session (plus a few line-items we requested he veto in SB3). While we sometimes disagree with the executive branch, we respect the governor's work, and the checks and balances of our constitutional system.The question before us now: Will the legislature override these vetoes?
The senate will move forward with the traditional veto override process as directed by the Utah Constitution. I will send a ballot to Utah's 29 state senators, asking them to cast a vote for or against an override session. The Speaker of the House will poll his members as well. If two-thirds of each chamber vote to convene an override session, we will call the legislature back to the Capitol for that purpose. If they choose not to override, we'll move directly into our interim work.
We plan to announce the results of the veto override poll on Thursday, April 16th.
If we elect to hold an override session, it will begin on or before Monday, May 11th, as per Article VII, Section 8 of the Utah Constitution.
Should we override? Add your thoughts to the conversation by commenting below, or contact your state senator to give them your feedback.
[Update, 4/17/15:] No veto override session this year. Here's the official statement:
April 17, 2015
SALT LAKE CITY – Today, Utah legislative leaders announced that they will not convene a veto override session in 2015. Speaker of the House Greg Hughes and Senate President Wayne Niederhauser issued the following joint statement:
"We respect the diligent, careful work of the 2015 Session and the sacrifices made by both legislators and staff. While we don't agree with every veto, a poll of our members shows the House and Senate are ready to forgo the time and expense of a veto override session and move on to other business. We will work to resolve any residual disagreements and readdress them during the next legislative session."
# # #
The veto override process is governed by Article VII, Section 8 (4) of the Utah Constitution. Link: http://le.utah.gov/xcode/ArticleVII/Article_VII,_Section_8.html
"If the governor disapproves any bill or item of appropriation after the adjournment sine die of any session of the Legislature, the presiding officer of each house shall poll the members of that house on the matter of reconvening the Legislature. If two-thirds of the members of each house are in favor of reconvening, the Legislature shall be convened in a session that shall begin within 60 days after the adjournment of the session at which the disapproved bill or item of appropriation passed.
"This session may not exceed five calendar days and shall be convened at a time set jointly by the presiding officer of each house solely for the purpose of reconsidering the bill or item of appropriation disapproved.
"If upon reconsideration, the bill or item of appropriation again passes both houses of the Legislature by a yea and nay vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house, the bill shall become law or the item of appropriation shall take effect on the original effective date of the law or item of appropriation."
Greg Hartley
House Chief of Staff

Steve Smith's Drum Art Banyan by SceneFour

6-Month* financing available.
A collaborative piece of art on canvas by one of the world's best drummers.
One of the greatest drummers in music history has unveiled a highly limited collection of artwork built from rhythm. Steve Smith, known for his influential catalog of work with Journey and Vital Information, created "Banyan" through the new medium of capturing rhythmic performance and putting it to canvas in a debut collection called "The Fabric of Rhythm."
Highly limited, there are a total of 20 Banyan pieces available in the edition, all are numbered and individually signed by Steve Smith.
On the work, Steve Smith states:
"I have a fascination with Indian rhythms and have been studying and performing Indian rhythms since 2002. This piece brings to mind the structure and shape of the Banyan tree, the national tree of India. The Banyan tree is an epiphyte, which is a plant that grows on another plant. I relate to that concept when it comes to the way I approach Indian rhythms. My rhythmic foundation is that of a U.S. drummer and the Indian rhythms that I use grow from, and are an extension of, my own musical roots."
About Steve Smith
Best known for his work as the drummer for Journey and Vital Information, Steve Smith grew up in the Boston area and started playing drums at the age of 9 in 1963. He studied music at the Berklee College of Music from 1972 to 1976. Over the past 35 years he has toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in jazz and rock - appearing on recordings that have sold 100 million copies worldwide - including Journey, Bryan Adams, Mariah Carey, Zucchero and Jean-Luc Ponty.
Steve Smith was recently voted #1 Fusion Drummer in the 2012 Modern Drummer Readers Poll. Smith has previously been voted #1 All-Around Drummer in the Modern Drummer Magazine Readers Poll for five consecutive years from 1987-1991. The 2008, 2009, and 2010 Drum! Magazine Readers Poll voted Smith #1 Jazz Drummer. In 2001, Steve was named by Modern Drummer Magazine as one of the Top 25 Drummers of All Time.
In 2013, Steve Smith took on a new medium with his first collection of artwork titled "The Fabric of Rhythm." Working with art team SceneFour, the collection featured visuals crafted from a new medium led by drummers, "Rhythm-on-Canvas."

This Dino 246 GTS is no longer available. Please contact us for any further information you may require.
Ferrari 246 Dino GTS The GTS version of the 246 Dino arrived at the Geneva Salon in March 1972. It featured a removable targa roof panel that could be stowed behind the seats, the chassis being reinforced with extra bracing along the sides and front of the engine frame. Visibly the GTS had no rear three-quarter windows, these being replaced by a bank of three vents carved out from each sail panel. GTS's were all built on the series III platform. Production of both the GT and GTS came to an end in 1974, over 3700 Dino's having been delivered since the spring of 1968, 1431 of which were Series III GT's. This included 446 right-hand drive examples while 1274 GTS were built in just over two years, 254 of which were in right-hand drive. The car offered for sale here is one of the 254 GTS examples built in RHD presented in Giallo fly with black leather. A total restoration was carried out by Mototechnique some five years ago to concours standard. Since this time the car has covered minimal miles and is now offered for sale having recently had a major service by DK.

Castle [5 7] ABSTRACT A high density multiple bar code, such as the Universal Product Code, is scanned to determine the displacement of adjacent leading edges and trailing edges of the bars and also to determine the width of each bar and each space. The character represented is determined by comparing the displacement of trailing edges of the bars, the width of various bars and spaces, and ambiguities are resolved by comparing the widths of the middle bar and space. The various selected displacements result in ratios that are very widely separated, thereby providing very reliable results with relatively inexpensive recognition circuitry which converts the measured displacements into corresponding analog voltage levels and then compares the various levels and produces binary outputs representing the character that was sensed.

lllll JJII METHOD AND CIRCUITRY FOR DECODING A HIGH DENSITY BAR CODE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a method and circuitry for reading high density bar codes, such as the Universal Product Code, or the like. The Universal Product Code, hereinafter. referred to as UPC, has been adopted by-business establishments which print an identifying number, such as a stock number, in the form of a bar code on each item of merchandise. An optical reader located at the cashiers stand may then scan the merchandise package to sense the code thereon and relay that coded number to a data processor and associated memory, which then signals the price data to the checkout stand register and maintains a continuous inventory of the merchandise, a record of total transactions, tax records, etc.
In a multiple bar code, such as the UPC, each decimal number is represented by two pairs of vertical bars and spaces within a 7-bit pattern wherein a binary 1 represents a dark module or bar, and a represents a light module or space. Thus, a decimal 1 may be represented in the UPC by the 7-bit pattern, 0011001; a decimal 2 by 0010011; a3 by 0111101; a 4 by 0100011,
etc. It can therefore be seen that the decimal 1 would be comprised of an initial space of a 2-bit width, followed by a 2-bit wide bar, another 2-bit space, and a 1-bit bar. Similarly, a 3, for example, is represented by a 1-bit space followed by a 4-bit bar, a 1-bit space, and a l-bit bar. It will be noted that for any numeral there are two bars and two spaces. Furthermore, in this form of UPC, each pattern always begins with a space and ends with a bar. The purpose of this is primarily to enable the reading circuitry to determine the beginning and end of each 7-bit pattern.
A multiple bar code, such as the UPC, is normally read by an optical reader which scans the several 7-bit patterns and transmits electrical signals representing the bars and spaces to a data processor which determines the decimal numbers represented by the pattern by comparing various displacements within each 7-bit module to the total module width. Since distortions in printing the UPC upon the merchandise may result from surface distortions, ink spread, etc., the displacements measured by the data processor cannot be limited only to the width of a bar or space, but must include the displacement between separate adjacent spaces and separate adjacent bars. For example, a UPC representation of the decimal 5 may be 0110001. The displacement between the leading edges of the spaces is three bits and the displacement between adjacent bars is seen to be five bits. The two ratios that represent the numeral 5 are therefore 3/7 and 5/7. Inasmuch as the UPC employs a 7-bit module containing two bars and two spaces, the various ratios measured by the scanner and converted by the data processor must be either 2/7, 3/7, 4/7 or 5/7. It follows therefore that to distinguish certain characters, it is occasionally necessary that the logic unit in the data processor to be sufficiently accurate to distinguish between the two numbers 4/7 and 5/7, two numbers with less than a 25% difference between them.
In practice, there are several factors that act to alter the apparent values of the characteristic ratios. Printing variations within a symbol can alter the measured ratios. Curvature and other distortions of thesurface on which the symbol is printed can produce some variation in the desired values of the ratios. In some scanning systems, small systematic variations of the effective scanning speed may contribute small errors to the observed ratios. Because of these sources of variations or errors in the expected ratios, itis necessary that the scanning system be provided with some form of threshholding decision capability which, in effect, decides which each particular ratio should be, and outputs a binary decision between two theoretically correct possible ratio values. The theoretically corrected values selected are then transferred to a set of binary logic circuits which determine which particular decimal digit must have been observed.
Unfortunately, all practical threshholding circuits are subject to some small errors. Thus, the exact threshhold value used to decide between two theoretically correct values may change from time to time as a result of changes in temperature, voltage, component age, etc. If the expected theoretical values to be distinguished are relatively close together, then small variations in the exact threshhold value may significantly increase the frequency of erroneous decisions. To minimize the possibility of such wrong decisions, it is therefore desirable to employ a decoding system which maximizes the differences between theoretically correct expected ratios.
As mentioned above, prior art bar code decoding systems read the characters by measuring the displacements between leading edges of adjacent bars and leading edges of adjacent spaces, and by comparing these displacements with the total width of the character to obtain ratios of either 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, or 5/7. In the present invention, greatly improved accuracy is achieved by measuring all displacements between bars and spaces and by comparing various displacements, to be subsequently described, to obtain widely varying ratios easily distinguished from each other by relatively simple and inexpensive circuitry wich converts each measured displacement into an analog voltage level, compares the various levels to determine which of four possible ratios are present, and produces a binary output that accurately identifies the numerical character that was read.
In the drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention:
1 FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of a typical Universal Product Code;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the circuitry of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a typical ratio circuit illustrated in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is an illustration of a portion of the Universal Product Code illustrated in FIG. 1 and corresponding waveforms of signals appearing at various points in the block diagram of FIG. 2.
As mentioned above, the prior art method for reading a high density bar code, such as the UPC, includes the measuring of displacements between leading edges of adjacent bars and leading edges of. adjacent spaces and developing ratios of these displacements to the entire character width of 7-bits. Thus, referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the numeral 4 which, in one fonn of the UPC IS represented by 010001], would be identi- T fied by the ratios of Tl/(Tl T3) and TZ/(Tl +T3),
leading edges of bars. For the numeral 4, therefore, these ratios would be 2/7 and 4/7. It is to be noted that each numeral is represented by two ratios and in the prior art method of reading the UPC, these two ratios are within the range of 2/7 to /7. It is necessary. therefore, that the electronic circuitry carefully distinguish between closely related numbers, such as 4/7 and 5/7.
In the present invention, each numeral is represented by the ratios, Tl/T3 and (T4 T5 )/T2. These ratios result in widely varying values that are easily distinguishable by the subsequent electronic circuitry. For example, the numeral 4 illustrated in FIG. 1 would be represented by the ratio T1/T3 or 2/5, and (T4 +T5)/T2, or /4. Similarly, for the numeral 6, the ratios would be 2/5 and (I 4)/2 or 5/2. According to the present invention, all ratios must be either 2/5, A, 4/3, or 5/2.
In any bar code there is a probability of an ambiguity between two or more numbers. In reading the UPC, either'by the prior art method or by the present invention, an ambiguity exists between the numerals 1 and 7, and also between 2 and 8. For example, in the present invention, the ratios identifying the numerals 1 and 7 are 4/3 and A; the ratios identifying the numerals 2 and 8 are /4 and 4/3.To distinguish between these numerals and thus resolve the ambiguity, the width of the middle bar, Tmb, and the width of the middle space, Tms, are measured and the ratio Tmb/Tms is generated. Therefore, for the numerals l, 2, 7, and 8, three ratios are established.
FIG. 2 is an illustration of the block diagram of circuitry for decoding the encoded UPC data. Input information is introduced to a photosensor 10 which receives light reflected from the symbol as it is scanned by an optical scanning mechanism. The output photosensor 10 is applied through a feedback amplifier l2 and electronic filter 14 to an edge detector 16 which produces a train of output pulses coincident with the transitions of the edge detector input waveform as shown in curves A and B of FIG. 4. The output of the edge detector 16 is applied to the clock input of a twostage binary counter 18 which advances one binary count each time the waveform A, of FIG. 4, undergoes a transition as signalled by the waveform B. Counter 18 consists of two stages having outputs C1 and C2. The numerals associated with these outputs correspond to the weights attributable to these stages. Counter 18 therefore produces four binary output states, 00, 01, 10, and 11, as'the input from the sensor 10 varies as a digit is scanned.
In the following description, reference numerals enclosed in parentheses will indicate an electrical signal at the line or terminal adjacent the numeral. Thus, the reference numerals Cl and C2 will represent output terminals while (Cl) and (C2) represent the signals that may be produced at those terminals.
The output terminals C l and C2 of counter 18 are coupled to a logic circuitry 20 which provides seven output signals corresponding to the various displacements measured by the input photosensor. The output (T1) of logic circuit 20 is available when the counter 18 is at a count 1 or count 2 and corresponds to the time when the counter 18 output (C2) is in a logical 0 state. Logic circuit 20 output (T2) corresponds to the time when counter 18 is at count 3 or count 4 and is represented by the logical condition; (Cl-C2) (CI'CZ). This logical condition is easily generated in the logic circuitry by the well-known exclusive OR circuit.
During states 3 and 4 of counter 18, logic circuit 20 output (T3) is present and counter 18 output (C2) is in a logical l state. Logic circuit output (T4) corresponds to (Cl-C2), and is available during counter 18 state 1. The fourth state of counter 18 is the logical condition (CI'C2) and during this time period. output (T5) is available. (Tmb) corresponds to the second state counter 18 and (Tms) corresponds to the third state, as indicated in FIG. 2 and shown in the curves of FIG. 4.
Outputs (T4) and (T5) of logic circuitry 20 are applied to an OR gate 22, the output of which is applied together with output (T2) to a ratio circuit 24. Similarly, outputs (T1) and (T3) are applied to a ratio circuit 26 and outputs (Tmb) and (Tms) are applied to a ratio circuit 28. The ratio circuits 24, 26, and 28 are for converting the temporal measurements (Tl (T2), (T3), (T4), (T5), (Tmb) and (Tms), into binary characters representing the scanned digit and the outputs from these ratio circuits are inserted into the shift register 30, which thereby contains the binary data required for interpreting the digits scanned.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a ratio circuit as shown in the circuitry of FIG. 2. The ratio circuits are used to convert the temporal measurements discussed above into binary characters representing the scanned digit. The ratio circuit of FIG. 3 comprises a ramp circuit 32 which receives a voltage signal (Ta) which may correspond to either (T1), (T45) or (Tmb) of FIG. 2. In operation, the output voltage level of the ramp generator 32 continues to rise while (Ta) is present. Upon removal of (Ta), the attained voltage level is then held while ramp generator 34 functions in the same manner but under the control of the input signal (Tb) which corresponds to either (T2), (T3), or (Tms) of FIG. 2. Thus, one ramp generator measures the time that (Ta) is at a logical 1 level, and the other ramp generator measures the time that (Tb) is at a logical 1 level. (Ta) and (Tb) correspond to the lineal spacing of white to black or black to white transitions on the symbol being scanned, or in the case of (Tmb) and (Tms), the width of the middle bar or middle space, respectively.
The outputs of the ramp generators 32, 34 are compared to each other at the completion of the scanning of a digit as signalled by the clock pulse signal Cp of FIG. 4, which pulse occurs at the trailing edge of the second bar in each character module. The comparison process is performed by differential amplifier-type voltage comparators 36, 40 and 44 of FIG. 3. The ramp generators 32 and 34 are reset after their output voltages have been compared.
As previously mentioned, the possible values for the ratios of time periods (Tl/T3) and (T4 T5)/(T2) are 2/5, 4/3, and 5/2. The mid-point between the ratios 2/5 and is 5/9, the mid-point between and 4/3 is l, and the mid-point between 4/3 and 5/2 is 9/5. These mid-points are the decision points used by the ratio circuit to categorize the ratios. It is apparent that other mid-points, such as the arithmetic mean, could be selected.
In FIG. 3, the output signal 32 of ramp circuit 32 is compared to the output signal 34 of ramp circuit 34 by a comparator 36. If the signal 32 is greater than 34, the output 36 of comparator 36 will be at a logical I level, signifying the ratio between (Ta) and (Tb) must be either 4/3 or 5/2. If, on the other hand, signal 32 is less than 34, output signal 36 will be at a logical level, signifying a ratio between (Ta) and (Tb) of 2/5 or Ramp circuit 32 is coupled to attenuator 38 which is adjusted to attenuate the output signal 32 of ramp circuit 32 so that the attenuator output signal 38 is equal to /9 of 32. Attenuator 38 and ramp circuit 34 are coupled to comparator 40 which compares the signals 38 with 34. If the signal 34 is less than 38, corresponding to the signal 34 being less than the previously mentioned decision point of 5/9 of 32, the output 40 of comparator 40 will produce a logical 1. This condition signifies that the ratio of 32 to 34 is 5/2.
The output of ramp circuit 34 is also connected to an attenuator 42, which attenuates the output signal 34 so that the output of attenuator 42 produces a signal, 42, equal to 5/9 of 34. The output terminals of attenuator 42 and ramp circuit 32 are connected to the comparator 44 which compares the signals 42 with 32. If the level of 32 is less than that of 42, corresponding to 32 being less than 5/9 of 42, the output 44 of comparator 44 is at a logical l, signifying that the ratio of 32 to 34 is 2/5.
Output signals 40 and 44 from comparators 40 and 44, respectively, are applied to an OR circuit 46. The output signal 46 of circuit 46 is at a logical 1 when signals'40 or 44 are at a logical 1 corresponding to a ratio of 32 to 34 of either 2/5 or 5/2. Thus, the signal 46 along with the output 36 of comparator circuit 36 completely categorizes the ratio of 32 to 34. Since the signals 32 and 34 are the voltage representations of the time periods (Ta) and (Tb), the ratios of 36 and 46 also categorize the ratios of (Ta) and (Tb). Ratio circuit 28, which has as its inputs the signals (Tmb) and (Tms), categorizes the ratio of its inputs in a similar manner to ratio circuits 24 and 26.
The binary signals generated by the ratio circuits 24, 26 and 28 of FIG. 2 are inserted into a 6-channel shift register 30 so that scanning of the register by subsequent processing circuitry will then yield binary data required for interpreting the scanned digits.
