"You're going to be asked a lot of questions if it doesn't work," Girardi said.
The slumping Rodriguez, among the greatest power hitters in history, offered no complaint, telling Girardi: "Joe, you gotta do exactly what you gotta do."
"Maybe 10 years ago, I would have reacted in a much different way," A-Rod said.
-from ESPN.com's recap of last night's amazing Yankees game
When life gets rough for us, getting down and giving up doesn't usually help the situation. But we constantly do it. Why?
Last night, the Yankees epic comeback win over the Orioles provided a good example of our natural inclination to do the unproductive thing when the chips are down.
The fans at Yankee Stadium booed A-Rod after every failed at bat. There was a tremendous amount of uneasiness each time he came up, and each time he went back to the dugout.
I understand the frustration people feel with the size of his contract, and his recentrly lackluster production. But booing A-Rod during an important game isn't going to improve the Yankees chances of winning! And isn't that the ultimate goal for us Yankee fans?
Booing A-Rod when we still needed him is like cutting your nose to spite your face. Maybe it feels good to scratch that itch in the moment, but in the long run, it's not gonna seem that useful.
As crazy as this is gonna sound to a lot of Yankees fans, the best thing we all could have done would have been to encourage A-Rod.
"Don't give up! You'll get 'em next time!" That sort of thing.
We needed him to go into his next at bats with confidence, not with unease.
In your life, when you're up against it, do you boo, or do you put on a brave face, put one foot in front of the other, and do what you can to help the situation?
It's amazing how many people give up. But so many don't.
Last night, when Joe Girardi told him he was going to be pinch-hit for by Raul Ibanez, A-Rod was one of the ones who didn't take a sour attitude, who didn't give up.
Imagine how tough that must have been. You're a superstar, this is supposed to be your moment, and now you're in the dugout, with the cameras all over you. What do you do? What do you say? You're a competitive person, and you feel you can help the team. Imagine the conflict in his head.
But A-Rod kept himself extremely optimistic, encouraging Girardi, and, as you can see in the pic above, making sure he was the first person to congratulate Ibanez after his first, game-tying home run.
No doubt A-Rod's positive reaction to being replaced by Ibanez and to the homer put Ibanez more at ease the next time he came to the plate, when he won the game on another homer in the 12th.
That's the type of thing championships are made of. Guys sacrificing their own attitude for the right approach, the one that helps the team.
Are you working today to help your family, your team?
Or are you worried about what's in it for you?
Sometimes you have to smile when you're not happy. He hasn't always done that, but last night A-Rod put on a happy face and was a consummate teammate. Good for him.
And - needless to say - good for Joe Girardi, who showed some giant balls!

This is a shorter program for employers needing solid and impacting drug alcohol supervisor training but without the length and depth of the DOT supervisor training package. It's a fact, if you have over 15 employees, you have some that are using alcohol and drugs at work or they have addiction problems off the job that impact your company. They are both equally problematic because they reduce productivity, increase risk of accidents, drive workers' compensation costs up, and permeate your organization at multiple levels including conduct, behavior, attitude, violence, and anger management issues. And the list goes on. Even if an employee is not using alcohol and drug at work, withdrawal symptoms can lead to disaster if they abuse these substances off the job. You don't have to be helpless. You can be proactive with this training kit that includes everything you need.
Supervisors must be trained to have the right understanding of substance abuse in the workplace so they do not back off, but instead feel empowered to be proactive with assertiveness so they address these problems when employee symptoms become evident. This the BIG WHY of this product.
This non-DOT drug and alcohol awareness education product on is for non-DOT use because it is shorter in length--about an hour--and address the following issues among others:
• Techniques for defining and recognizing alcohol and drug using behaviors in the workplace
• Effects of drug and alcohol use on workplace productivity
• Categories of drugs of abuse--signs, symptoms of use, effects, and impact on behavior
• Understanding substance abuse enabling and how to avoid these behaviors
• Successful intervention techniques for substance abusing employees..
• What Supervisors should say and do, and how to say it; what to not say and not do
• Plenty of handouts and tip sheets, and Certificate of Completion (all reproducible)
How to Offer non-DOT Alcohol and Drug Training and Why at Work?
Training supervisors to recognize alcohol and drug problems at work can be done with PowerPoint, DVD, Video or a web course that uploads to your own internal website.
• Proper recognition of the signs and symptoms most dangerous and addictive drugs currently plaguing the country and proliferating the workplace,
• Confrontation techniques for supervisors that see employees with persisting drug and/or alcohol abuse related issues as they demonstrate themselves in on the job behavioral symptoms,
• The simple drug and alcohol training for supervisors provides an up to date guide on getting employees the necessary help they need based on performance issues and concerns of the employer;
• This valuable program provides tools and resources that can help supervisors improve their workplace and successfully help employees improve performance;
• Offers handouts and tips sheets are some of the most perplexing issues supervisors face along with the answers to what to do and say.
• This all-inclusive, step-by-step program will allow you to ensure your supervisors know how to recognize substance abuse, intervene early, and help prevent nightmares the workplace.
How Companies Suffer from Employees Who Struggle with Alcohol Drug Use in the Workplace
Employees who suffer from drug- or alcohol-related issues are more prone to attendance problems, increased accidents, and therefore experience reduced productivity. Statistics show that these employees use three times as much sick leave and have worker's compensation costs that are five times higher than employees without alcoholism.
This combination of lower productivity and increased company insurance costs can be detrimental to the company and the costs have an array of indirect impacts. Employee negativity, conflicts at work, and even sexual harassment can all be linked to underlying substance abuse problems. These are excellent examples most management and leadership fail to completely understand, and are rationales for educating supervisors and employees about workplace substance abuse. Alcohol, a central nervous system depressant, is a toxin in large quantities and a progressively addictive substance.
Unfortunately, no one can make an alcoholic stop drinking except the individual afflicted with the problem. However, intervention to confront the alcoholic about his or her performance issues in the workplace is a powerful and leveraging step that work to motivate employees to get help. This shock an alcoholic out of denial, but must be done so by a trained professional. This "non-Drug and Alcohol Training for Supervisors" offers proper training to overcome this problem in the workplace.
How Drug and Alcohol Training for Supervisors Materials Can Make an Impact
Addressing substance abuse issues at work is vital for optimizing the workplace atmosphere as well as employee efficiency. The materials offered as a part of the Drug and Alcohol Training for Supervisors program provide new and advanced techniques in battling the problem. They will help educate the supervisor on how to outline and establish a fair and consistent procedure for properly confronting employees when necessary. The three key benefits of this non-DOT Drug and Alcohol Training program include proper supervisor-employee substance abuse recognition, confrontation, and referral to the organization's approved source of help, like the employee assistance program.
Risk to Organizations from Employees Who Are Struggling with Substance Abuse Issues
A number of risks may be attributed to substance abuse in employees. These include productivity decline, increased health care costs, possible fatal accidents, extra sick leave, absenteeism, and poor decision making, to name a few. The informative alcohol and drug training for supervisors program offers indispensible tips and guidelines to an safer workplace.
Other products at WorkExcel.com to help supervisors understand and confront substance abuse problems in the workplace.
Non-DOT drug and alcohol training for supervisors trains your supervisory staff who need skills in non-DOT reasonable suspicion training to remain proactive in spotting signs and symptoms of employees using marijuana, drugs, alcohol, and other substances that can pose a risk to everyone around them. Plenty of handouts, test questions, certificate of completion, training guide, and all with professional narration (or not - yes, you get both types for the same price.)

REFRIGERANT ABSORBENT COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME Filed April 16, 1958 ATTORNEY States Patent REFRIGERANT ABSORBENT COMPOSITION AND NIETHOD OF PRODUCING SAME Hugh s. Hughes, 758 Falls St., York, Pa. Filed Apr. 16, 1958, Ser. No. 728,860
'9 Claims. 01. 252-67) This invention relates to absorption type refrigeration and is directedv particularly to compositions employed as absorbents or adsorbents and methods of producing and using the same.
It has been common practice heretofore to employ mixtures of various salts as absorbents or adsorbents in the generators of absorption type refrigeration equip ment. A great variety of such salts have been suggested for use including particularly those alkali or alkaline earth metal salts capable of combining with gaseous ammonia to form amines or amino compounds or complexes.
While such compositions are generally very eflicient absorbents or adsorbents when first installed in a generator' they tend to deteriorate on usage by reason of the repeated expansion and contraction thereof with discharge and absorption of ammonia when heated and cooled. As a'result, the salt mixtures of the prior art ultimatelymay be broken down into small pieces or granules which have reduced absorption properties and tend to obstruct the ingress and egress of the refrigerant gas impairing the operation of the equipment.
I have discovered that the tendency for salt mixtures to deteriorate on usage is eliminated or reduced, and compositions having improved physical properties are obtained provided the salts employed are first fused together so as to produce a composition hereinafter referred to as a eutectoid. The fused product thus obtained generally has a melting point below that of the higher melting constituent of the mixture and its melting point may be below thatof any of its constituents. In any event, the intimacy of the mixture of salts and the physical properties of the product obtained as a result of such fusion are greatly improved.
If desired, other agents may be added to the fused salts before or after fusion thereof to further immprove r modify the physical or absorbing characteristics thereof.
The fused mixture of salts, after cooling and solidifying, is preferably ground to a small size. It is then introduced into a generator or boiler, after which it is subjected to the action of ammonia or other refrigerant gas to be used whereby the desired amine or amino complexes are formed in the generator. Generators thus charged may be used in any conventional or preferred mannervfor releasing and absorbing refrigerant gas in absorption type refrigerating equipment. However, the eutectoidproduced as described above is characterized by its strength and stability in that it does not break down or deteriorate upon long continued use and after repeated heating and cooling thereof. It remains instead in the form of a strong porous mass which does not require the usual dividers and internal supports in the generator for holding the eutectoid in place.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a new composition adapted for use as an absorbent Q1 adsorbent for refrigerant gas.
Another object of the invention is to provide novel methods for producing absorbents or adsorbents for refrigerant gas.
A further object of the invention is to provide absorbents or adsorbents for refrigerant gas having improved physical properties.
Another object of the invention is to provide improved generators or boilers for use in absorption type refrigeration equipment.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will appear from the following description thereof wherein typical and preferred compositions and methods of producing the same are cited by way of illustration and in order to indicate the nature of the invention but without intending to limit the scope of the invenion thereby. p
A typical refrigeration system embodying the present invention is illustrated diagrammatically in the single figure of the drawing.
The salts employed in producing absorbent or adsorbent compositions embodying the present invention may be any of those heretofore known and used for the absorption and release of refrigerant gas. In particular when the refrigerant gas is ammonia as preferred, the salts are those which combine readily with ammonia to form amines or amino compounds or complexes and which are capable of giving up the ammonia readily upon the application of heat thereto or upon a reduction in the pressure applied to the composition. Typical of such salts are the halides of the alkaline earth metals and various nitrates and chlorides such as lithium and ammonium nitrate or chloride.
The compositions of the present invention may further contain additional agentswhich serve. as modifiers to improve the physical propertiesof the composition or to increase or alter the rate and amount of refrigerant gas absorbed and 'given up. thereby. Among such additives may be mentionedcarbon black, activated charcoal, silica gel, activated alumina, iron oxide, clay, and the like.
In preparing compositions. in accordance with the present invention, anhydrous salts are used and they are mixed and fused together with or without the added agents. It is preferable to carry on the fusion in a noncontaminating vessel, such as a nickel or ceramic crucible. During such fusion, the liquified salts are intimately blended together. In fact it would appear that the salts are probably mutually dissolved one in the other, or are otherwise associated in some novel manner, since the melting point of the mixed salts generally differs from that of, any of its components. It is for this reason that the compositionis preferably referred to as a eutectoid, although the salts need not be proportioned to develop the lowest possible melting point of the combination of salts used.
When an additive or modifying agent is used in the composition, it generally is mixed with the salts while they are in a fused condition and is thereby uniformly distributed and intimately blended therewith.
After fusion, the mixture of salts is cooled and broken up or ground'to small particles so as to present an extended surface area for contact with the ammonia or other refrigerant gas. The granular size may vary from about .10 to 200 mesh, although a fineness of about 50 to mesh is preferred.
Since the eutectoid is hydroscopic and the elimination of moisture from gas generators used in refrigeration equipment is desirable, the pulverized eutectoid is preferably'charged into a generator or other closed casing without delay. Infact the grinding or pulverizing of the eutectoid may be carried out under reduced pressure, or
in the presence of a dry inert gas, or at an elevated temperature such as to prevent the moisture from being absorbed by the granulated material. Similarly, the generator or casing may be heated or evacuated to reduce the moisture content thereof to a minimum before the eutectoid is introduced therein.
The charge of eutectoid placed in the generator is generally no more than suflicient to occupy about one half the capacity of the generator. Thereafter ammonia or the refrigerant gas to be used is passed into the generator and into contact with the eutectoid. The ammonia, upon contact with the eutectoid, causes the particles to swell and form a highly porous and substantially rigid or solidified sponge presenting enormous surface area. The ammonia is taken up and held by the mass due to absorption or adsorption thereof by the eutectoid. The volume of the treated eutectoid is approximately double'that of the untreated fused salts, with the result that the generator is substantially filled by the porous body and its walls may even be subjected to pressure by the expanding material. The reaction which takes place on introduction of the ammonia and during swelling of the eutectoid is exo-' thermic and may reach a temperature of 180 C. The amount of ammonia taken up and held by the eutectoid may equal the weight of the fused salt mixture or be as low as one fourth the weight of the salts, depending upon the composition and proportions of the salts employed in producing the eutectoid.
The rate of absorption of the ammonia by the pulverized eutectoid will vary somewhat with the composition of the eutectoid and the pressure of the gas being passed into contact therewith. The initial contact of ammonia with the eutectoid over a period of a few seconds is sufiicient to expand the fused salts to substantially their full volume. The compositionis thereby converted into a solidified sponge-like mass which does not change its shape or condition upon subsequent repeated liberation and reabsorption of ammonia. Thereafter, absorption or adsorption of the ammonia and further swelling, if any, may take place over a period of several minutes.
Upon conclusion of the treatment, the generator is substantially or completely filled with a strong, highly porous mass which does not require the use of dividers or internal supports in the generator for holding the ammoniated eutectoid in place. It may be subjected to repeated charging and discharging by cooling and heating or by the application of suction and pressure thereto in the usual manner employed in utilizing generators or boilers in absorption type refrigeration. The compositions embodying the present invention do not tend to break down into popcorn or granules or deteriorate on long continued usage. The composition instead retains its strong, firm, sponge-likecondition even after long continued, repeated usage.
The presence of additives or modifiers in the eutectoid further appears to alter the nature of the association of the constituents of the eutectoid and to improve its properties. Thus the addition of carbon black or iron oxide to the molten salts appears to alter the character of the crystal structure since upon grinding the cooled and hardened eutectoid, sharper edges, corners and surfaces are developed. Moreover, the swollen composition containing carbon black or iron oxide possesses greater hard ness and compression strength than does a similar composition containing no such additive. Other additives may serve as adsorbents to increase the adsorption capacity or to alter the rate of absorption or release of ammonia in charging and discharging the generator.
The absorption capacity of the generator and the rate at which it absorbs and releases ammonia varies considerably depending upon the composition of the eutectoid. In the preferred composition, the salts employed are strontium chloride and lithium nitrate. The proportions of these salts may vary over a wide range froni,.say, 90% strontium chloride and lithium nitrate to, say,
'4 20% strontium chloride and lithium nitrate. A preferred composition contains about 75%.by weight of strontium chloride and about 25% of lithium nitrate.
In general, the strongest eutectoids and those having the greatest compression and tensile strength contain larger amounts of strontium chloride. The absorption capacity of the eutectoid also is greater when the strontium chloride predominates in the composition. However, the composition of the eutectoid may be selected to meet the particular conditions to which the equipment is to'be subjected.
In those units designed for use in air conditioners for automobiles wherein space is at a premium but resistance to vibration is also important, the use of additives such as carbon black, iron oxide, silica gel, or activated alumina is advantageous. The amount of such additives used may range from about 2 to 10% of the total mixture, and the proportions of the salts employed in the eutectoid may be adjusted to assure adequate durability and effective hfe consistent with the necessary absorption capacity.
In order to illustrate typical procedure in accordance with the present invention, the following example is cited: 75 parts by weight of anhydrous strontium chloride and 25 parts by weight of anhydrous lithium nitrateare pulverized and thoroughly mixed together. The mixture is then heated until fusion takes place. While the melting point of anhydrous strontium chloride is 873 C. and that of anhydrous lithium nitrate is 255 C, the mixture will become liquid at a temperature of about 817 C. The heating may be continued further if desired to insure complete and intimate mixing of the constituents but heating above about 825 to 850 C. is not necessary and does not appear to serve any useful purpose.
To the liquid mixture there is added 5 parts by weight of carbon black or iron oxide and after stirring to assure intimate mixing thereof, the fused salts are allowed to cool and solidify. The eutectoid thus obtained is maintained in a dry atmosphere and is broken up or ground to a fineness of about mesh while still maintaining it in a dry atmosphere. 7
The container which is to serve as a generator or boiler for refrigerating equipment is preferably heated to expel moisture and is evacuated prior to charging'to assure a dry atmosphere therein. It is then tilled to approximately one half its capacity with the granulated or pulveri'zed eutectoid. I
Gaseous ammonia is then admitted into the charged generator at room temperature and at a pressure of about 300 pounds per square inch. The eutectoid particles immediately swell or expand as the ammonia is absorbed or combined therewith to form the amines or amino compounds. As a result, the eutectoid is converted into a solid, strong, porous body which substantially fills the generator. The introduction of ammonia into the generator and into contact with the eutectoid preferably is continued until the eutectoid has absorbed or combined with about one half its weight of ammonia. This treatment generally only requires a short time, say 2 to 10 minutes, but the application of ammonia may be continued for a period of several hours if desired to assure complete conversion of all of the salts into amino or other expanded compounds in the composition.
The temperature of the eutectoid rises asaniiiionia is absorbed or adsorbed thereby and, accordingly, the generator may be cooled during the 'charging'pe'riod and until it reaches room temperature.
The charged generator is then in condition to be incorporated in a refrigerating system or it maybe sealed for storage until applied to the equipment with which it is to be used.
When included in a refrigerating system such as that shown in the drawing, the generator 2 is connected in series with a condenser 4, a receiver ;6 and an evaporator 8. The generator 2 is provided with a heating element 10 which, when energized, causes ammonia gas to be evolved from the eutectoid. This gas passes to the condenser 4 through a check valve 12 and thence to the receiver 6. The condensed gas from receiver 6 is supplied to the evaporator 8 through a capillary, expansion valve or other restrictor 14 for expansion to refrigerate or cool the air adjacent the evaporator.
After a suitable period of heating, the evaporator is allowed to cool and the pressure within the generator 2 is thereby reduced. Refrigerant gas expanded in the evaporator 8 thereupon returns to the generator 2 through a check valve 16 and is reabsorbed by the cooled eutectoid for subsequent liberation in a succeeding refrigerating cycle.
The operations of heating cooling the generator may be controlled by a thermostat 18 or the like located adjacent the evaporator 8 or elsewhere so that the equipment may be automatically operated to maintain a desired temperature in an area to be cooled. However, the equipment may be operated in any other suitable way to attain the desired result.
Instead of heating and cooling the generator to cause discharge and absorption of the gaseous ammonia, it may be subjected to suction and pressure by means of a pump or otherwise in carrying out the cycle.
Compositions embodying the present invention, and generators and equipment in which the eutectoid are employed, may be varied as desired. The compositions are thus of general application and can be used in any and all types of absorption refrigeration equipment. In fact the strong, durable nature of the eutectoid renders it useful in many types of equipment wherein absorption refrigerating means have not been suitable heretofore. The long life and shock resistance of the eutectoid compositions of the present invention render them particularly useful in remote and unattended installations and in automobiles, aircraft, and railroad equipment wherein continued vibration is a problem. At the same time, the relatively small size of the generator required for many purposes permits use of the invention in ice cream and beverage coolers intended for picnic use and elsewhere. The invention is nevertheless equally useful in large installations for air conditioning or cooling theatres, ofiice buildings, packing houses and industrial installations.
In view of the varied uses and applications of the present invention, it should be understood that the particular compositions and methods of production described above and the type of refrigerating system in which the invention may be employed have been cited for purposes of illlustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Striped Sea Bass in mild coconut curry
Today I am going to blog about this – Striped Sea Bass in mild coconut curry, the new fish on my chopping block. Sea Bass seems to be very popular, most loved and favoured fish among the sea food lovers. But to us (read Bongs, few Bengalis don't like this term) any fish that can not adapt well to the waters condiments of Kolkata can not survive on a Bengali fish platter. It has to first pass through the "Mustard Test". So, […]
Crispy tilapia in cilantro walnut sauce served with broccoli almond rice
Many of you has asked me time and again, why there are few fish recipes in my blog, being a Bong , I admit this is almost a crime. So this week we will feature two fish recipes – a tilapia and a red snapper. I have told you before how and why Bengali becomes fanatically obsessed with fish, not any fish, only Bengali fish. And above all, a Bong should know thousand different ways to cook the same fish. […]
Tangra maach, mishti and more – fish "hunting" in America
Before you start forming your opinions on today's blog headline, let me stop you right there in your thought track … I know "fish hunting" is not the right word, but I could not find more appropriate word to tell you the story of my misadventures … Fish cannot live without water. A Bong can not live without fish. So what happens when a Bong arrives in a "phoreighn" land ? Arriving in a foreign country in the early hours of morning is a bad idea. Unlike […]

Guilt free crispy fish fingers with your choice of dips
Have you found anything more addictive than this, the finger licking goodness packed naturally with omega 3 ? Will you share your portion with anyone even if that person happens to be your better half ? Certainly not me, and whenever I bake these fish fingers it quickly get vanished, sometimes even I didn't get the chance to taste one. Is it fair enough ? 🙁 But who am I to complain ? Few years back even I used to do the […]
Tel Koi or koi fish in mustard oil
What are the two things that caught your fancy when someone mentions Kolkata ? maach ar mishti (fish and sweets) and for the prabasis (migrants) like me, phuchka is the last word in Kolkata's culinary scenario. You ask me why ? Having raised outside Bengal, the word "maach" / fish largely restricted itself to the big carps which am not so fond of, even though Rui kalia is something I would love to cherish any day but beyond that ? the world of fish literally ends […]

LGBT visits State Street in London's Docklands
The view from across the Thames
State Street was founded in 1792 and is the second oldest financial institution in the United States of America. The company's headquarters are in Boston but it has offices in 29 countries around the world. They are a huge American worldwide financial services holding company responsible for around $28 trillion of assets.
State Street Corporation has a buoyant State Street Pride (LGBT & Allies) group who, jointly with their UK Families Network, invited FFLAG to a lunchtime event at their London offices in Canary Wharf on April the 14th.
The aim of the lunch & learn event was for FFLAG to offer advice and support to potential parents of LGBT children, inform them about the work of FFLAG and where parents could find more information/ support when needed.
Two FFLAG Trustees, Virginia Field and Bruce Kent were pleased to attend the event which was simultaneously broadcast by live video link to the State Street offices in Edinburgh, Luxembourg, Munich, Paris, and five different office locations in Eire.
Bruce mentioned that it was the first time he had been asked to speak specifically to potential parents of LGBT youngsters and how pleased he was to be able to do so. Too many parents, he said, are totally unprepared for that moment when their youngster says, "Mum, Dad, I'm gay" and can easily not react in the most helpful way as a result.
If they had looked into the subject beforehand and come to learn that being LGBT isn't a sickness that needs curing and that sexuality and gender identity aren't lifestyle choices they would have saved themselves and their offspring much heartache.
Virginia and Bruce both went on to tell their own personal stories and tell the group about the resources that are now available to parents and family members in the UK and about the work that FFLAG is currently doing. There followed a question and answer session and it was clear to both Virginia and Bruce that there is a growing need for support for Trans youngsters and their families.
The presentations were well received with much positive feedback from the delegates and State Street has asked to continue to work with FFLAG in the future.
Virginia and Bruce

Neighborhood Alert Notice
The Board has been notified that in the early morning hours of March 21, an individual attempted to open both the driver's side and passenger-side doors of every vehicle in one of our courts. It is believed that he was successful in only one case; however, this information was garnered after-the-fact from a personal security camera, so he could have moved on to another location. Unfortunately, vehicle break-ins are becoming more of a problem in Fairlington in general, so don't leave valuables sitting in clear view, and remember to lock your doors at all times, even if you are going inside just briefly. If you notice anything suspicious, or should you become the victim of a crime, please call the police immediately. If not a "911 emergency," use the main number (703) 558-2222. This is the only way the police can keep track of such activity, and reporting it could possibly bring an added police presence to the neighborhood. .
Please also notify a member of the Board directly, so we can keep our residents informed, through postings such as this. Thank you.

It's Sew Much Fun!
Repetition makes perfect but sometimes, doing the same thing over and over again can be boring too. That is why while my husband shopped for precision vises at a hardware store two weekends ago, I went to crafts and hobby shop and bought some felt cloth. I have been working on polymer clay for about 1 year and 8 months now and honestly, it can get boring. Here's what I made:
I have accumulated a lot of beads and buttons since I started polymer clay crafting. Though my beads were useful for making accessories, I have yet to find ways to use the buttons. And yes, these felt projects are indeed perfect for them! These flowers and heart felt projects are sew much fun to do! I will surely find time to make more soon.

Petter Solberg joked that he would settle for third place, prompting Marcus Gronholm to say that in that case he would take second. What neither of them said, but everyone understood, was that Sébastien Loeb would be the winner.
The three men expected to contest this year's World Rally Championship went through the ceremonial formalities in an illuminated casino square here last night before they are due to embark on the real thing this morning.
The Monte Carlo Rally is the sport's ultimate rollercoaster ride, and neither Norway's Solberg nor Finland's Gronholm relishes the capricious challenge of the mountain stages. Both fear Loeb will again set the standard yet both maintain, also, that the rest of the season could be a very different story.
All rallying hopes their judgement is sound. Loeb, driving for the factory Citroen team, won 10 of last year's 16 rallies and the series can scarcely afford a re-run. Gronholm and Solberg, in particular, are clinging to the possibility that Loeb, now driving for the private Kronos team, may lose some of his momentum and that they, in turn, can find fresh impetus.
Gronholm has joined Ford from Peugeot, a move that has apparently revitalised him and given the team much-needed leadership. Solberg remains with Subaru and is confident that he will enjoy a change of fortune this time around.
Solberg said: "I'm sure it will be a better championship this year, it has to be. I don't know how many rallies Seb will win but it can't be as many as last year.
"It's impossible for Marcus to know at this stage what he might do but I think he will be strong. I think we will both be strong. I think we have to make it harder for Seb this year.
"I hope a podium will be possible [in Monte Carlo] but it will be a very tough rally with lots of good cars and drivers. A lot will depend on the weather, as always in Monte Carlo. Cold, wet and snow would be the best conditions for us."
Loeb is favourite to win what would be a third consecutive championship yet he is adamant that the course will be nothing like so straightforward.
He said: "I am working with a team of 30 instead of 250 but I have confidence in that team and my car is still a Citroen. I am sure we will be good and I expect us to do well here.
"But you cannot win 10 rallies every year and I don't think it will happen this year. Marcus and Petter have new cars and they will be much closer this year. It will be a big fight, I am sure of that but that will make it a good championship for all of us."
The drivers completed their preparations with final test runs on a "shakedown" stage in the mountains and the icy conditions provided a sample of what lies ahead.
Gronholm, openly hostile to the vagaries of Monte Carlo, said: "I don't really like this rally because you cannot go flat out all the time. It's not a full rally - it's mixed.
"You can have part of a stage where it's dry but then you come across an icy patch and you have to back off - or go off. I can't enjoy that. I know it's not supposed to be easy, but this is not my kind of rally."
Britain's David Higgins, who drives a Lancer in the production car category, echoed those sentiments as he prepared for his season.
He said: "You know you have to go slowly but then you have to go slower again. It's very tricky. I think the thing to do here is to get to the end because if you do you'll be surprised at how high you finish.
"This is a great opportunity for me and I want to take it with both hands. I don't really know what my chances are but all I can do is give it my best shot."Reuse content

We're building a spectacular new art gallery and making changes online.
The Arts Te Papa website will be shutting down soon, but head to Collections Online to find your favourite works from New Zealand's national art collection.
Find out more about the new art space
Level 5, Te PapaCurrent Exhibition
Watch and listen to arts multimedia
In the 1920s and 30s, New Zealand art was dismissed by many critics as provincial and unimaginative. British artist W H Allen, for example, declared it devoid of 'pioneering spirit' and 'indifferent to modern movements in art'.
But a new generation of artists soon defied Allen's harsh assessment. They challenged academic art forms, while resisting mere imitation of Europe's avant-garde.
Here, we showcase some of their imaginative new visions of art in New Zealand, with a particular focus on the rich contributions of female artists between 1930 and 1950.
