text: This exceptional Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is adorned with a dial made of aventurine and decorated with brilliants to enhance its sparkling haute joaillerie spirit. Preference is given to baguette-cut precious stones, easier to lay side by side. The supporting metal between the stones thus disappears, leaving the gemstones to glitter alone.

The community of East Elmhurst enjoys some of the best features of Queens living: tree-lined streets, excellent transportation, close proximity to Manhattan, two airports, Shea Stadium, and a branch of the Queens Library System.
The East Elmhurst community is a young and small community that was carved out off the Jackson Heights and Corona areas. One, two, and three family homes make up the architecture of the community. Some high rise apartments provide additional housing for a bursting community. At one time the area was mainly beach and recreational land space. The neighborhood of East Elmhurst has seen profound and rapid demographic changes over the years. The eastern Europeans who first settled in the area have since yielded to other populations including Italian, Greek, and Spanish-Americans, African Americans, and Haitians. More recent groups include Asians and Eastern Indians.
The East Elmhurst Branch opened for business in June of 1912 and was known as the Louona Park Library. Like many branches of the Queens Library system, the East Elmhurst Branch has claimed many different locations as its home over the years. Unlike the others, though, every time the branch changed its location, it also changed its name. It was renamed the Northern Boulevard Library when it moved to Northern Boulevard in May of 1927. In 1942 the library found a new home at 90th Street and Astoria Boulevard and brought with it the new but peculiar appellation of North Beach Library. The branch assumed its current name when a new city owned building was erected in 1972 at its present home at 95-06 Astoria Boulevard.
For many years, the East Elmhurst Branch was one of Queens Library's five Community Neighborhood Information Centers, offering referral services to people in need. This service was largely used by older adults who needed the aid of city agencies and community organizations, and young mothers who were seeking information on day care centers and schools. The branch continues to serve as a depository for the City's Department of Environmental Protection materials about the ongoing Flushing Bay project.
Over the years the East Elmhurst library has had the flavor of a "community center" which numerous community groups used as their monthly meeting place. Satisfying cultural needs goes hand-in-hand with fulfilling the informational needs of the branch's steady stream of small business owners, retailers, construction, airport workers, and students.
The East Elmhurst branch enjoys top ranking in sessions and attendance for its delivery of cultural, musical, and informational type programs. East Elmhurst is known for its large number of famous artists of all genres. An impressive number of branch programming originates from the community.
Among the many unique and outstanding programs and activities taking place at the East Elmhurst Library over the years, three memorable ones include: Former Mayor David Dinkins' use of the library for the filming of his last mayoral campaign commercial which included issuing to him a Queens library card; the celebration of the library's 100th anniversary in 1996; and the recipient of a Plaque for the New York Times' first Librarian Award in September, 2001.
A unique and successful feature of the East Elmhurst Community Library's services is its mission of "Keeping Jazz Alive in Louis Armstrong's Neighborhoods". A grant from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation Inc. makes it possible for Jazz artists, performers, and workshop presenters from throughout the Metropolitan area to help us accomplish our mission. The Louis Armstrong House is located in Corona, but is in walking distance to the East Elmhurst Community Library .

Maine 2nd District Rep. Mike Michaud has joined with a Vermont colleague to re-introduce a bill that would establish a voluntary registry of veterans who served at a Canadian base that had been sprayed with herbicides.
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) _ Two U.S. Representatives from Vermont and Maine want the Department of Veterans' Affairs to help veterans who fear they may have been exposed to dangerous herbicides at a Canadian military base.
Democrats Rep. Mike Michaud, of Maine, and Rep. Peter Welch, of Vermont, re-introduced a bill in Congress that would establish a voluntary registry of U.S. veterans who served at the Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, New Brunswick.
In 2007, the Canadian government acknowledged that Agent Orange and other herbicides were tested at Gagetown and began paying settlements to Canadian veterans.
Members of the Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Rhode Island National Guard and reserves trained at Gagetown. While U.S. veterans trained there after the testing period, many are still concerned they were exposed to toxic levels of herbicides.

Domo Arigato Domestoboto is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by drug baron Ricardo Diaz from his mansion on Starfish Island, Vice City.
Diaz and Lance have got a deal and Lance has actually borrowed some money from him. After a drink, Victor appears in the scene angrily asking Lance what Diaz is talking about. After a brief argument Lance suddenly falls on the sofa, drunk and sleeps while Victor leaves the mansion outside. When outside one of the Vance Crime Family gang members meets Victor telling him about some high-tech gear stuff ordered outside the Mendez's mansion to destroy Armando Mendez's bearer bonds. Victor drives over to the Boxville with the things in it. After a moment he takes control of a Domestobot inside the mansion who is ordered by Armando to do his tasks, this includes giving him a snack, cleaning the toilet, lighting his cigar and all of them can come randomly in any order whilst doing the mission. After doing at least one of Armando's tasks, Victor uses the Domestobot to find Armando's bearer bonds and after finding it, he uses the bot to set it on fire. Once Armando finds about the accident he shoots the robot with his Colt Python several times and destroys it.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the van parked outside the Mendez mansion
- Use the Domestobot to find and crack Armando's safe
- Activate Domestobot's Comms arm to help you track down and open the safe
- Enter the correct code to open the safe
- Use the lighter arm to set the safe contents on fire
Once this mission is completed you'll receive $2,000. The mission is a standalone that doesn't directly trigger another mission.
- The name was taken and parodied from the song "Mr. Roboto" by Styx.
- The Domestobot is heavily modeled after the Robotic Operating Buddy (commonly known as R.O.B.) accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
- In the PSP version of the mission, Armando Mendez shoots the Domestobot with a pistol, not a Python.
- Sometimes the text that appears when you assume control of the Domestobot says "Flux Capacitor at 110%", referencing the movie Back to the Future.
- Numerous other in-jokes appear on the display screen, including references to "guru meditation" (an error message commonly associated with the Amiga computers of the early 1980s), along with a series of prime directives (which alludes to the movie RoboCop)
- A dildo is one of the attachments on the Domestobot. It can be selected but, despite the presence of several prostitutes, the attachment cannot be used.
- The code for the safe is 8423. When typed into a mobile phone with predictive text turned on, it will say 'vice'.
- The player has 18 tries to get the code right before the Domestobot is destroyed.

Anti-Gay Campaign Finds No Welcome at Home Depot
For more than a year, the American Family Association has pleaded with Home Depot not to publicly back gay rights, and the home improvement retailer has ignored them. In fact, it continues to participate in the city's gay pride parade, as it has done for years. Still, the AFA isn't giving up.

BAGHDAD (AP) - A spokesman for Iraq's prime minister says President Jalal Talabani has had a stroke and that the president's medical team is still trying to stabilize his condition.
Spokesman Ali al-Moussawi told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is at the hospital in the Iraqi capital where the president is being treated.
He says doctors have not decided whether Talabani will continue to be treated in Baghdad or will be flown to another country for treatment.

Reducing Turnover and Holding onto Valuable Young EmployeesSeptember 30th, 2011
One of the best secret weapons a company can have is an employee who came on board at a young age, full of training and enthusiasm, and stayed. Employees who have spent most of their adult years growing within the company, using lessons learned to the benefit of the firm, taking on increasing responsibilities, building an equity of trust, and staying dedicated and passionate about the company mission—these employees are worth more than gold. A company with just one of these should be proud, and a company with several of them can pose a powerful threat to the competition.
But what's good for the company isn't always good for the employee, and there are many valid, logical arguments that tend to draw young employees away after only a year or two at a given firm. It's a good idea to be aware of these arguments so that you can establish a counterforce that will keep your ambitious young workers in the fold.
"How can you grow and gain new skills if you stay in one place?"
Educate young employees and give them opportunities to expand their skill sets. The more they know, the more responsibility they can take on. They want increasing responsibility, and they should have it.
"The same job with the same company for seven years? Aren't you bored?"
No young employee should have the same job for seven years. Or even five years. If they haven't been promoted at that point, something's wrong. And having no higher position to offer them isn't an excuse. Change their titles and shift their responsibilities, or be prepared to lose them.
"What do you know about life? You've worked for the same company since college."
Periodically evaluate your company culture. If young people aren't learning, growing and facing interesting challenges with you, they'll find a more stimulating environment elsewhere.
"Dedication has limits. Don't be a dope. You're giving the best years of your life to this firm, but if they had to cut you lose, you know they wouldn't think twice."
The way to gain respect is to give respect. And the way to gain loyalty is to show loyalty. Make sure young employees know how much you value them. Regular pay increases (even modest ones) and a little recognition go a long way with young people.
"Get out of there and seize the day! Now is the time to travel the world or go to graduate school. Do it while you're young and you still can."
Encourage your employees to tell you what they want out of life. And by all means, if you can give it to them, do so. If your employee wants to travel, have her join the team working on the Osaka account. If she wants to get her master's degree, let her know how you can fund her degree in exchange for a commitment of three more years with the company. Just remember, you can only find out what she wants if you keep the lines of communication open. Be loyal, be flexible, and be forthright, and your young employees will pay you back with dedication and respect.
For more ideas on how to retain these valuable employees, contact the Palmer Group for suggestions.

Reflection in the Yukon
By benbrinker
March 26th, 2015
I took a road trip last summer from Atlanta, Georgia to Anchorage, Alaska. This picture was taken in Yukon, Canada, several hours away from the border of northeast Alaska at a place called Kluane Lake. It is located on Alaska Hwy 1.
I drove back down this road three months later at the beginning of Fall and it was a completely different scene. Most of the trees were bare--and the water had large waves coming from across the bay. Still beautiful, but not as breathtaking as in the Summer.

Sea Moss Sunset

This hill is called Konttainen and it is one of the most famous hills in Ruka. That fabulous northern "blue moment" light shows best in December when there is only one to two hours of daylight per day

Thor's Well
By Robert Bynum
March 19th, 2015
A vertical sea cave on the Oregon Coast where the water is blown out and sucked back in with the waves near high tide. Can be a very dangerous spot and I'm sure many cameras have been lost as the volume of water that comes out of this hole can be unpredictable and you will be waist deep before you know it. I would imagine getting pulled into this hole in rough sea conditions would be fatal.

UNITED STATES (www.incnow.tv) - Talk of tougher gun laws creates a run on ammo.
Fearful of new weapon controls and alarmed by rumors of government hoarding, gun enthusiasts are buying up bullets. The run began in November with President Obama's re-election. It really picked up when state and federal leaders began talking about tougher firearm laws following the shooting in Sandy Hook.
That was followed by false rumors that the federal government was buying massive quantities in order to keep them out of the hands of gun owners. Major U.S. ammo manufacturers are running shifts around the clock to try to meet increased demand.
In 2009, the year President Obama took office, a run on ammo prompted Wal-Mart to limit sales. Sportsmen and tradesmen say the current shortages are nationwide and the worst they've seen.

History of the 7-Panel Backpacker solar cooker
Barbara Kerr designed the 7-Panel Backpacker solar cooker, which is based on the ROB (Reflective Open Box Cooker), in response to a request from a hiker needing a readily transportable solar cooker. This cooker is the direct ancestor of the CooKit, which was engineered by Solar Cookers International for mass production. To convince the SCI Board that perhaps this was a better third-world choice than her cardboard box cooker that SCI was promoting at the time, Barbara simply sent a Backpacker to each SCI Board member as a Christmas present (without comment). Initially the SCI folk thought it would be ineffective, until some of them actually tried it. The rest is history.
Below are the original construction plans for the 7-Panel Backpacker solar cooker.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- Hermione: "Well, both my parents are dentists."
- Slughorn: "Fascinating! And, is that considered a dangerous profession?"
- — Hermione on her parents.[src]
Dr. Granger (temporarily known as Wendell Wilkins) was a Muggle dentist and the father of Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor student in the same year as Harry Potter at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was the father-in-law of Ron Weasley and the grandfather of Rose and Hugo Weasley.
Life before discovery
Mr. Granger was a well-qualified individual who held a career in dentistry. He eventually married Mrs. Granger and on 19 September, 1979 had a daughter, Hermione Granger. The couple chose a "nice, unusual" first name that others had difficulty pronouncing because they "liked to prove how clever they were."[2]
Hermione attended a Muggle school and was rather bright for her age. Sometime in her early life Hermione would go camping in the Forest of Dean with her parents.[3] A memory of Hermione's of her parents workplace is that one time whilst at work, her father was bitten by a boy and he was required to be taken to hospital to receive several stitches.
Life after discovery
At some point prior to 1 September, 1991, Mr. Granger and his wife received a visit from a representative of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry concerning their daughter's acceptance. This visit revealed their daughter, Hermione, to be a Muggle-born witch, something that apparently came as quite a surprise. Hermione, however, was very pleased, and her parents were supportive of their child.
In 1992, Mr. Granger and his wife accompanied their daughter to Diagon Alley to purchase school supplies, and met her friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, as well as Ron's family. Arthur Weasley was delighted to meet them, as he had a fascination for the Muggle world, and took the Grangers out for a drink.[4] Proud of their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Granger correspond with Hermione by owl post while she was at school,[5] and took her for a holiday to France in the summer of 1993.[6] Mr. and Mrs. Granger planned to take her skiing during the Christmas holidays of 1995, but Hermione cancelled and instead ended up going to 12 Grimmauld Place to cheer up Harry, who had been refusing to speak to any of the house's occupants[5] and spent Christmas with the Weasley family.
In 1997, Hermione modified her father's memory so that he believed he was Wendell Wilkins, who didn't have a daughter and who wanted to live in Australia, and did the same to her mother so that she believed she was Monica Wilkins. This was to protect her parents from Death Eaters during the worst of the Second Wizarding War, as their daughter was very close friends with Harry Potter and she was a Muggle-born.[7]
Sometime after the war ended in 1998, Hermione found him and restored his memories back to their original state.[8] Later in his life he would become a grandfather to Rose and Hugo Weasley and the father-in-law of Ron Weasley.
Behind the scenes
- Mr. Granger was portrayed by Tom Knight in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but he was replaced by Ian Kelly for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1[9].
- In the earliest draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the Potters lived on an island, and the Grangers lived on the shore nearby. When Voldemort killed James and Lily, Mr. Granger noticed an explosion. He got on his boat and rowed out to the island to see what had happened, and found Harry.[10]
- In the first-part of the film adaptation of the final book, Hermione vanishes from all the photographs kept in the Granger house after she cast the Memory Charm on Mr. and Mrs. Granger. This may mean that she erased only their memories of her, and did not alter their identities. She was upset by what she had done to her parents, and cried several times afterwards.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- Joe Kelly allowed three hits and one run in four solid innings Thursday to strengthen his claim on the fifth spot in the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation in a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves.
Matt Adams broke a 4-all tie with a two-out single in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Kelly has had an impressive spring training. He has allowed just five hits and two earned runs in eight innings over three starts. Shelby Miller, his main competition for the last rotation spot, allowed six hits and three earned runs in 2 2-3 innings.
Mike Minor allowed six hits and four runs in five innings for the Braves. He retired 12 of the first 14 hitters he faced and allowed just one hit prior to the fifth -- the Cardinals batted around and scored four runs on five hits off the lefty in his final inning.

- The Cambridge Photographic Moon Atlas (Chu, Paech, Weigand, Dunlop)
- Atlas of the Moon (Rukl)
- Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas (Byrne)
The regions that are shown have multiple images of major features, where each image has different illumination, perspective, and/or scale. For example, the Apollo 11 landing site has 4 images which clearly show Sabine, Ritter, Aldrin, Collins, and Armstrong. From these images, you are left with a clear idea of how everything should appear before you go to your scope.
Another example is Montes Alpes. The atlas has 7 detailed images of this feature. The central rille is clearly shown in different lighting. Again, it helps if you are looking for this feature to have seen high quality imagery before going to your scope. You'll know basically what your target should look like through the scope.
Don't mean to come off as a salesman. I just wanted to pass along info on a great new resource.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is a format to regularly review changing web content. An RSS feed allows you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest information in one place, as soon as it's published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
The content from the RSS feed can be viewed using the latest web browsers, news reader software and email clients such as MS Outlook 2007, or can be embedded into an HTML webpage.
How to use RSS feeds
The latest web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer 7 and above, Safari and Google Chrome automatically check for feeds when you visit a website and display the orange RSS icon when they find one. Many allow you to add RSS feeds as a browser favourite or bookmark folder, automatically updating them with the latest content.
Web-based news readers check feeds and display new content that has been added. Examples include Google Reader (opens new window), My Yahoo (opens new window), Newsgator (opens new window) and Feedzilla (opens new window). You can access your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, making this option useful if you want to access the feeds from multiple computers or devices.
Some email software allows you to read RSS feeds - examples include Microsoft Outlook (opens new window) for PCs or Apple Mail (opens new window) for Macs. Dedicated news reader software allows you to download and install the software on your computer - examples include Awasu (opens new window), Feed Demon (opens new window) and Newz Crawler (opens new window) for PCs, or Net News Wire (opens new window) and Newsfire (opens new window) for Macs.
Display RSS content within your webpage
An organisation's web team can take an RSS feed and repurpose the content within their website. This reduces the need to link to another website with the possibility of losing the user. The need to input duplicate information into another website is also reduced and information is kept up-to-date.
To display the content of the RSS feed within your webpage you may need to refer to your Content Management System (CMS) documentation or contact your web developer. An example of free web software is WordPress which has a guide on importing and displaying RSS feeds (opens new window).

Thomas J. Gentzel, the Executive Director of the National School Boards Association (NSBA), reflected on the first anniversary of the Dec. 14, 2012 school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. with this statement:
"The tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary one year ago shook the nation. Our hearts go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones and to all those in Newtown who were affected on that horrific day.
"One year later, the nation continues to memorialize the 26 adults and children who were killed at the school, support their survivors, grieve, and move forward. For school board members, the urgency of making schools around the country safer and more responsive to future threats is an ongoing imperative and legacy of the Newtown shootings.
"As part of their duties, school boards must ensure that school buildings keep children and school personnel safe without becoming fortresses. In cases of natural disasters and man-made situations, school buildings – equipped with high-occupancy gymnasiums and cafeterias – are often the first shelter, serving as community safe havens and command posts. School boards recognize that even the best emergency preparedness policy is perishable, and they are monitoring and improving their districts' policies on a routine basis.
"School districts can ensure that parents and the community have a clear and actionable understanding of emergency response plans. One example is parental notification – to clear the path for first responders and their emergency vehicles, parents are often directed to a designated area away from the school where they can safely receive real-time updates.
"Since the Sandy Hook tragedy, there has been much debate on whether armed security guards should be used to protect the nation's schools, or whether teachers or other school staff should be armed. In cases when a community deems school security is essential, NSBA believes that only sheriff's deputies and police officers should be hired as school resource officers. Trained to deploy their weapons in the safest way possible and to take action that minimizes collateral damage, sheriff's deputies and police officers have 'qualified immunity' that affords school districts the legal protection they need in case of any unintended consequences that could arise in carrying out their duties.
"As we approach this first anniversary, NSBA joins world and national leaders, state and local governments, community leaders, and people across the country in remembering those affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy. Times like these give us great pause because they remind us not only of the fragility of life but also of the bravery and resilience shown by Newtown's teachers and school administrators, the students and parents, and the first responders on Dec. 14, 2012. Our nation's 90,000 school board members will honor them as we continue our efforts to educate and protect our school children and school personnel who work in America's public schools each day."

Global Warming Alarmist Calls For Eco-Gulags To Re-Educate Climate DeniersMonday, September 27th, 2010

Finnish philosopher says oppressive and brutal government should exert "tireless control of citizens" in shocking insight into threat of eco-fascism movement – Linkola openly calls for Nazi-style mass extermination policies to "kill defectives" price for phenergan price for phenergan buy Promethazine
A Finnish environmentalist guru has gone further than any other global warming alarmist in openly calling for fascism as a necessary step to save the planet from ecological destruction, demanding that climate change deniers be "re-educated" in eco-gulags and that the vast majority of humans be killed with the rest enslaved and controlled by a green police state, with people forcibly sterilized, cars confiscated and travel restricted to members of the elite.
Philosopher Pentti Linkola has built an enthusiastic following of self-described "eco-fascists" receptive to his message that the state should enact draconian measures of "discipline, prohibition, enforcement and oppression" in order to make people comply with environmental dictates. (more…)

Fact Sheet: What Else Can We Attribute to GERD? Some Seldom Discussed Complications of Gastroesophageal Reflux513
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly discussed in the pages of the IFFGD publication, Digestive Health Matters. Therefore readers will be familiar with the common consequences of acid from the stomach refluxing upwards into the unprotected esophagus. These include heartburn, unexplained chest pain (non-cardiac chest pain), and inflammation and scarring of the lower esophagus (esophageal stricture) leading to swallowing difficulty.

Fact Sheet: NSAIDs: Good for the Joints, Bad for the Gut?519
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
NSAIDs is an acronym for "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs." The steroids referred to here are not those employed by wayward Olympians, but rather those of the adrenalcortical steroid family such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, and betamethasone. Because they suppress inflammation they are employed in many chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Unfortunately, these drugs have important metabolic effects that limit their use. Side effects may include gastric and duodenal ulcers and sometimes intestinal bleeding. A discussion of NSAIDs and their use. Reviewed and updated 2009.

Fact Sheet: Confusing or Ambiguous Upper Gut Symptoms524
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
By choosing the appropriate test, a doctor can make a precise diagnosis of a structural upper gut disorder, such as esophagitis or peptic ulcer, by recognizing the diseased area through testing. The patient's history provides the information that permits the doctor to choose the right test. In the case of the disorders of gastrointestinal function, such as dyspepsia or non-cardiac chest pain, there is no structural abnormality and no diagnostic test. Hence diagnosis of these disorders depends even more upon how the patient describes his or her symptoms. But many people use words to describe symptoms that are vague or misliading to a doctor. Examples are explained – such as indigestion, gas, nausea, chest pain, or vomiting.
Fact Sheet: Heartburn, Hiatal Hernia, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Adults and Children530

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not close properly and stomach contents leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus. The LES is a ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus that acts like a valve between the esophagus and stomach. The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach.Topics: GER, GERD, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Other Disorders/Symptoms
