Parking at airports seems a terrible waste — expensive parking and your car sits doing nothing. I first started thinking about the various Car Share companies (City CarShare, ZipCar, FlexCar — effectively membership based hourly car rentals which include gas/insurance and need no human staff) and why one can't use them from the airport. Of course, airports are full of rental car companies, which is a competitive problem, and parking space there is at a premium.
Right now the CarShare services tend to require round-trip rentals, but for airports the right idea would be one-way rentals — one member drives the car to the airport, and ideally very shortly another member drives the car out of the airport. In an ideal situation, coordinated by cell phone, the 2nd member is waiting at the curb, and you would just hand off the car once it confirms their membership for you. (Members use a code or carry a key fob.) Since you would know in advance before you entered the airport whether somebody is ready, you would know whether to go to short term parking or the curb — or a planned long-term parking lot with a bit more advance notice so you allocate the extra time for that.
Of course the 2nd member might not want to go to the location you got the car from, which creates the one-way rental problem that carshares seem to need to avoid. Perhaps better balancing algorithms could work, or at worst case, the car might have to wait until somebody from your local depot wants to go there. That's wasteful, though. However, I think this could be made to work as long as the member base is big enough that some member is going in and out of the airport.
I started thinking about something grander though, namely being willing to rent your own private car out to bonded members of a true car sharing service. This is tougher to do but easier to make efficient. The hard part is bonding reliability on the part of all concerned.
Read on for more thinking on it…
It would begin with Alice, a member of the service ("Flying Cars") driving her car to the airport. She calls a special number on her speed dial when she's about 5 minutes out. It catches her caller-ID and tells her to park in the long-term lot, the short-term lot or to meet somebody already waiting at her terminal or one before it, and tells her a code-word for identifcation. In advance, she put personal gear she keeps in the car in a special locker that goes compactly in the trunk, and is locked to the trunk with a special lock.
Later, Bob flys into the airport, and needs to get somewhere not too far from Alice's home. He arranged it on the web or phone before he got on the plane, and when he lands he calls on his cell phone for a final confirmation, and the code that unlocks Alice's car. He drives to his own destination, and unloads his bags. Then what he does depends on what Alice wants done with the car. He might drive it back to Alice's house, which is not too far away, or is easy to reach by transit, taxi or road. Most commonly, he has somebody else with him now at the house who can drive a 2nd car on the short hop to Alice's. At Alice's, there is of course a parking spot available. If it's a driveway spot that's best. Alice may have to choose between letting Bob into her garage (with the garage door opener probably in the car) or leaving the car on the street or driveway for a few days. In this case the car is probably done, and is waiting for Alice when she returns by other means (most probably the car of another person who lives not too far away.)
Alice may also have indicated her car can be used for other rental trips. These could be trips to the airport, or even ordinary carshare rentals depending on her taste. For the drive home from the airport, and any other such trips, Alice earned a rental fee per mile. In this case the car can stay at Bob's if Bob has a parking space for it (which is convenient for Bob) or be driven to Alice's space, or even any other close space provided by a member — in this case for a fee. Alice would not charge a parking fee, and nor would Bob, for the convenience they gain.
Ideally for Alice, somebody else from the area wants to go to the airport a short time before her return trip. That person, Carl is told where to pick up the car (probably not in Alice's garage though this is not impossible) and has a friend, taxi or transit take him on the short trip with luggage. Carl drives to the airport — ideally meeting Alice at the curb, but probably putting the car in a parking lot. When Alice flys in, her car is waiting in a parking lot, but with only a few hours parking charge on it. (The Flying Cars service might arrange to include the parking costs in the price of service and average it out.) Alice has probably made money on the arrangement, rather than paying $50 to park her car at the airport.
If the Flying Cars service has arrangements with parking lots, they could take Alice's locker from the trunk, store it securely and return it before Alice gets the car again.
If you get to a critical mass, where members from neighbourhoods are regularly going to and from the airport, the cars would barely have to park there at all, and this would work really well.
There are some big issues though:
- Gas must be paid for. Alice should fill the car before any period she's renting it out. The algorithms would arrange so it is not rented for enough miles to risk making it low on gas. Or, if it becomes low on gas, a filling system like that at the carshare companies could be used.
- Alice has to keep her car clean and neat, and her stuff in the locker when renting it out. If she doesn't, she'll get comment scores from renters and nobody may want to rent her car.
- Alice must keep the car in top mechanical shape. It probably has to be a late-model car to be in the system, no more than 3 years old. In addition, there may need to be a requirement for inspection by a contracted mechanic (hopefully Alice's regular mechanic) on a regular period. To rent out, there must have been an inspection within some recent time period.
- The members must be very trustworthy. Clearly joining will require some bonding, verification of ID, probably more than Hertz wants.
- A clean driving record will be a must. While Hertz can evaluate the risk you smash up a rental car, that's just money. If a renter smashes up your own car, it can be more than a financial cost to people. Plus there is the risk they will want to sue you, claiming mechanical failure.
- Somehow it must all be insured. This may have to just come out of membership fees. It may be possible that some member's insurance on credit cards or existing policies can handle it, but that's for renting. The car owners won't want their own insurance records hurt by having to make claims from renter accidents.
- In particular, there will have to be workable policies on wear-and-tear damage — a scratch here, a nick there, a stain or whatever. Even with a no-food-or-drink rule it will get violated. Owners will be protective and claim every imagined thing. Taking regular digital photos may help.
- If we talk about letting people park in your garage, that opens up a lot of risk. This may not be workable.
- Odometers will be recorded and entered by cell phone. But there will be discrepencies if there are multiple renters. Cars might have to keep GPS trackers which is privacy-invading.
- Keys have to be left in cars, secured some way that these cars don't become more subject to theft. Or they would need an electronic key added which can start the car with a code entered on a keypad.
- An external keypad is needed to access the car, or possibly a bluetooth device can unlock the doors and the key-box when commanded to by the renter's cell phone. If you know the MAC of the renter's cell phone or headset its mere presence could be enough!
All these things might well mean it's better just to have traditional company owned car-share cars. Or to make it only work among networks of people who know one another. This could be an actual real application for social networks. You might be willing to loan your car to a real "friend of a friend" (not the fake FoFs found on most social network sites.) If a friend has seriously vouched some of the trust issues can be worked out.
Even just taken down to closer friends, it might be found that friends overlap airport trips fairly often. This would probably lead to mostly just taking your own car (or a borrowed one) one way, and using a shuttle or taxi or transit the other way, but that's still a lot cheaper than car both ways and better than shuttle two-ways.
Anyway, interesting to think about.

Samsung Galaxy Prevail for Boost Mobile Revealed (Image) [Update]
Samsung and Boost Mobile are hosting an event in Manhattan on April 5th, where the Android handset pictured above is likely to be announced. No further details were immediately available, including specs, branding, or information on pricing and release. However, Samsung does have quite a cache of unused product names filed with the USPTO, and of those, the Samsung Exhilarate seems like a good possibility to us.
This would be the second Android device from Sprint-Nextel's prepaid service, following the Motorola i1 (which is expected to be joined by yet another Android piece on Boost, the i1Q QWERTY candybar).
By comparing the image to the current crop of Galaxy S variants, it appears that the screen here is too small to claim a four-inch diagonal. In fact, this phone looks pretty similar to Sprint's HVGA Samsung Transform QWERTY slider about the face, although we suspect that it lacks a physical keyboard. Even if it ends up being a low- to mid-range device a la the Galaxy Ace, though, it should prove to be an attractive addition to the current anemic smartphone lineup on Boost.
Update: Reports have this phone going by the name Samsung Galaxy Prevail, running a Froyo build, and equipped with a 3.2-megapixel camera. (Via: Softpedia)

It was a busy day at the office of the Montgomery County Register of Wills Friday. While same-sex couples filed for marriage licenses, a group of protesters staged a "pray-in."
Protesters are upset the county is granting the licenses even though Pennsylvania law limits marriage to heterosexual couples.
Around noon, about a dozen protesters gathered into the register's office and Michael McMonagle, president of the Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania, spoke directly to office staff.
"The department of health is not going to register these same-sex marriages. You're doing a big sham, it's a big joke. These are not going to be recognized by state law as marriages," he said. "And I ask you to reconsider what you're doing. You have every conscious right. We will get a lawyer to represent you if you'll object to Mr. Hanes' tyranny to try to force you to violate state law."
McMonagle and his supporters accuse Montgomery County Register of Wills Bruce Hanes of violating state law by issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The group has asked District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman to intervene.
She has issued a statement saying that she doesn't plan to get involved.
As protesters recited what they called a "prayer in defense of marriage," same-sex couples were issued marriage licenses on the other side of the office.
Gabriela Assagioli and Lynn Zeitlin, partners of 13 years, said they'd already been married by two rabbis before receiving their license.
"We're all praying to the same one, so they're entitled to pray and say whatever they need to," Assagioli said.
Since Wednesday, the office has issued 26 licenses to same-sex couples.

If you never get compliments on your hair
would you wonder if you need a different more flattering hairstyle? What do you think?
Post a picture. We will be honest. And complimentary:happy7:
Maybe you never get compliments because your hair has always looked great. If you've once had an awful style then changed it, people would notice.
I never get compliments but when i first transformed from straight to natural, i got them all the time, now nothing, unless I ask. Do you like your hair and do you think it looks good?
my husband told me yesterday he thinks my curls are vey unflattering on me... but then again, i have seem women on tv etc that have GORGEOUS curls and i ask him if he thinks it looks good and he says, "ehh".
Wavy Wonder, tell your husband that straight hair never gets that gorgeous tousled bed-head look that you KNOW he loves :]
and maybe it is time for a switch up, it depends on how long you've had the same style.
Well that wasn't very nice of your husband, wavy wonder!!
In regard to the original question - it could be just because people are used to how your hair looks - but not because it looks bad.
I think it's time for me to get a trim - not looking forward to it...
Maybe people are used to the way my hair looks and that is why. BUT I also think my hairstyle doesn't flatter my heart shaped face. The style kinds of drags my face down. I think a style for a heart shaped face should either frame it or somehow make the face shape look more oval. I am an artist and a bit of a perfectionist and it really seems off to me. Granted, I am growing out a bad cut but it shouldn't take a year to find a flattering look!
Wavy, why on earth would your husband say that to you?? How did you respond to him when he said that?
LOL, just asked him if he liked my hair tonight and he said yes. He's worse than a girl:tongue5:
I think your waves for sure flatter you, wavywonder, as far as I can tell from your siggie pic.
Men think girl hair is straight hair.
I get complments from strangers, but my friends rarely say anything except
If I compliment their hair, they'll say "you hair looks great. Your hair always looks great". So while they don't regularly say something, I don't worry that that means mine looks bad.
I'm sure you're beautiful!
guys are so silly sometimes
Like others have said, I normally only get compliments if I have a new cut or style. Or I might get a "your hair is getting so long!", something like that. I get the occasional random compliment, but not often. As long as I'm happy with the way it looks, it doesn't bother me.
I think my issue is I am not happy with the way it looks. My face is longish and heart shaped and my Deva Cut seems rectangular. It really drags me down and makes me look older. I am supposed to wait another month for a cut. Maybe it will be shaped differently as my old butchered cut grows out more or maybe Deva Cuts are not for me. I hope the latter is not the case though!
This is exactly why I've lightened up my top, gotten some loose bangs, and try to focus on volume over definition. I just felt like the straight down, even curls were making me look a little '90s. Now I like to wear my hair a little messy, instead of gunning for those perfect spirals every morning.

The Rogers City Council approved the 2013 budget and tax levy at their meeting.
Finance Director, Lisa Wieland, presented a balanced 2013 budget to the Council of $7,043,938. Of that sum, $6,153,413 will go to the general fund, which handles all day-to-day operations of the City. The remainder, $890,525, is allocated to the Rogers Activity Center, or RAC, for its daily operations and financing. The budget reflects a 5.32% increase from 2012.
The 2013 levy totals $5,923,447, more than $5 million of which is allocated to the general fund. The nearly $1 million remaining will fund special levies for things like the RAC, public works building debt, and to replace some large equipment. The levy is collected through property tax assessment.
The Council also approved its 2013 fees and utility rates. To determine utility rates, staff consulted with a private consulting firm to review the 2009 Utility Rate Study and the results since its implementation to keep on track with long range planning for each utility's operations, access fees, and trunk charges.
As a result, water and storm water rates will increase by 3% each, resulting in a $.65 bimonthly increase in water and $.21 bimonthly increase in storm water fees for the average residential household. Sewer rates are set to increase by 5%, or about $4.23 bimonthly. No increases were recommended for fixed charges.
In other matters, the Council heard from the Planning Commission about the sign standards adjustment process, which they believed made it too simple to ignore the requirements of the sign standards city code. The Commission received direction from the Council to study ways to make even application of the code's standards in the face of numerous requests for alternative signage.
Police Chief Jeff Beahen recommended two candidates for Police Department clerical openings. One candidate is currently a temporary employee already in the position. She was shown to be the best candidate after interviewing with several of the 80 applicants for the position. The other candidate currently works part-time at City Hall but would regularly fill in at the Police Department when needed. The Council approved the two candidates for the positions.
The council canceled its Tuesday, Dec. 25, regularly scheduled meeting. The next council meeting is Tuesday, Jan. 8.

Over the years, MTV's notion of "controversy" has become about as enticing as a trip to the corner store to pick up toilet paper. That the media can't stop talking about Kanye West's "outburst" is proof that they're really grasping at straws. The formula has become quite predictable at this point. Always, at both the VMAs and the MTV Movie Awards, there is going to be some outrageous act that everyone will be talking about. At the MMAs it was Sasha Baron Cohen dressed as Bruno landing on Eminem's lap.
Now we have commentators fulminating over Kanye's "ego" and "inappropriate behavior" after he rushed the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech and proclaimed that Beyonce should have won. Many commentators have denounced that the hip-hop star for just trying to keep himself in the spotlight. Even President Obama is rumored to have called Ye a "jackass."
First of all, as I've more or less said before, nobody should be allowed to speak of any musician's "ego" until Bono's mouth has been sewn shut. Second, today's culture commentators aren't exactly shocked and dismayed at Kanye's behavior. On the contrary, it gives them an opportunity to keep playing the role of the public's moral guardian, spinning the whole thing around to set up their rising starlet Swift as the frail, helpless damsel in distress being overtaken by a "misbehaving Negro."
Kanye's outbursts tend to get lumped into the same oblique category of "Kanye being Kanye." But there is a notable difference between this kind of stunt and when he goes in front of a camera during a live broadcast event on NBC and tells the world "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. There's no doubt a portion of the industry that would love it if he kept his mouth shut, still another that loves the attention he grabs for them as long as he does it within their parameters. The only problem is that Kanye, as a living breathing person with free will of his own, isn't ultimately under their control.
It can never be forgotten that Kanye is indeed a Black man living in a white man's world. He is a performer in an industry that is greatly dominated by exploitation and oppression. As LBoogie over at The Democracy and Hip-Hop Project explains: "Kanye's arrogance, his braggadocio, his loud-mouth interventions are scattered pieces of an anti-racist sentiment that historically has been a rallying cry for people of color to reclaim what is rightfully ours."
Furthermore, a large portion of the anti-Kanye backlash seems to forget that the kinds of truly unpredictable outbursts he has become known for used to be a much bigger part of MTV's makeup. Maybe it's just me (and I'm about to sound old here), but I remember a time when the VMAs were worth watching to a greater degree. When it was more about the music and whatever controversy sprung up was rooted in that. Of course, these were the days when "Straight Outta Compton" was on the airwaves. When Pearl Jam would play Unplugged and Eddie Vedder would scrawl "pro-choice" on his arm in magic marker. The days of Yo! MTV Raps and 120 Minutes, shows that displayed a propensity for edgier and at times groundbreaking videos.
There has surely always been a large element of spectacle to MTV (they are, after all owned by Viacom), but now such shows have been replaced by TRL and Cribs. Hero worship reigns supreme, whereas there used to be at least a little room for folks to "kill your idols."
Now, with so many exciting things taking place in music, MTV has become truly stagnant. Artists are experimenting with form and content in so many ways that it boggles the mind. In eras past, this would be called the "underground," but thanks largely to the internet and the ascendancy of the mp3, the underground isn't so underground anymore. Both hip-hop and rock are experiencing a massive shift in their style and dynamic (some of which Ye helped usher in). And because so many of the artists behind it are opting to go around rather than through the industry (which wasn't as much of an option fifteen years ago), the suits have no idea how to relate to them.
MTV, as an important component of that industry, is more or less getting left in the dust. While there have been moments that include a healthy dose of real substance in the past, their position and imperative as a profit-making media outlet means that it is their role to appropriate it, sanitize it, and shape it into spectacle. It's precisely this that has much of today's generation reaching for the remote.
And yet, they still hold immense power and influence over the way we perceive and consume musical icons. In the absence of a real, bottom-up discussion on race in this country, MTV's sway affects all artists who remain part of it. This extends to Kanye himself. Five years ago, he was considered a renegade, a poet struggling with demons inside his heart and the world at large. But starting with his third album, 2007's Graduation, the hunger and strife seemed to be lacking. By the time he wore out his auto-tune feature on 808's and Heartbreak, a lot of folks were wondering what the hell happened.
What this bodes for the future of Kanye's music and persona is hard to tell. There's no doubt that he won't be shutting his mouth anytime soon. Whether the next controversy he stirs is the kind that imbues our side with real confidence or just gets added to the litany of empty sound and fury pouring out the idiot box is ultimately a question of what the world looks like between now and then.

Bawumia Congratulates Fellow Muslims ON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF RAMADAN FAST
On behalf of the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo and on my own behalf, I am pleased to congratulate all Muslims throughout our country and the world over on the successful completion of our month long sacred Ramadan fast.
The past 30 days has been a period of great sacrifice, a time we have abstained from the physical pleasures of life in order for us to seek immeasurable blessings from Allah, our Maker. In the past month, we have studied and recited the Holy Qu'ran, the teachings of the Holy Prophet, supported each other and shared with the needy so that we may be found pleasing in the eyes of Allah, the most merciful.
On this all important date in our calendar as we mark the end of the fasting period, it is time to be glad and to rejoice for we have strengthened ourselves spiritually and we have sought blessings and favours from Allah which we do know he has and would fulfill.
We should also be glad that we have gone through this period in harmony and we have lived with each other in unity and utmost tranquillity.
I am confident, that the sacrifices we have undertaken in the last 30 days would reap bountiful rewards in the course of our years on earth and would be reflected abundantly in our personal lives, our communities and the Nation at large.
I also do hope that though we have come to the end of this sacred period, we would carry on with the supreme virtues of peace, forgiveness, good neighbourliness, fellow feeling generosity and support for each other in our communities and the nation.
As a person, I have been greatly privileged to have visited many of you in your Mosques and communities during the period to share prayers and to listen to your Tafsirs and I must thank you all for the wonderful welcomes you accorded me and the prayers you offered for me. I am most grateful.
Once again, I wish you Ramadan Kareem and Eid ul-Fitr Mubarak.
Baraka da Salla

Cat Veterinary
Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
I wish this behavior was better understood. Most cats gravitate to the litter box because their instinct is to bury their waste. Why some cats like the feel of the sink or bathtub does not seem to be reflected in wild cat habitats, but it just happens. If it were urinary accidents or diarrhea, we would at least consider a "health" issue rather than behavior. But if these are normally formed stools, then it's almost assuredly behavioral.
This leaves us with cat training, which while frustrating, can be accomplished. Training, as in dogs, involves negative consequences to unwanted behaviors along with praising. Cats are often less food motivated, but if your guy likes treats, you can try to be attentive to when he does successfully use the litter box and reward him. Likewise any other treat catnip, a hug, etc... can help make using the box a "good" thing.
As far as trying to prevent the use of tub and sinks we can work on two scenerios. Have a handy spray bottle of water or a can filled with coins or pebbles to shake or an air horn or whistle... handy near the bathroom so if you catch him in the act, you can provide negative stimuli. Obviously we don't want to throw things or hurt him. It is also better to have one of these "neutral" devices to provide the consequences so that he doesn't as much resent you for punishing, but simply associates this unwanted behavior with a noise or spray of water which he won't like. Consistency is always key in training, so it might mean camping out around the bathroom or stalking him a bit to try and ensure he gets caught in the act as soon as possible so the training can begin.
There is also room to try booby trapping the sinks and tub so that he will not want to use them. Scat Mats provide a mild static discharge and are used on furniture, counters, and could be placed on sink/tub. Please be careful since obviously mixing any electrical device with water is dangerous. Maybe even putting one at the threshold of the door to the bathroom could be tried. Another option would be leaving the tub and sink partially full of water during the training period. It won't take too many leaps into the tub with a few inches of water to hopefully change his mind. Obviously we only want shallow water. Drowning is not an appropriate correction.
Finally, there are drugs that can be used to help relax a cat who is showing behavior problems such as inappropriate eliminations. Pills to help reduce anxiety can be prescribed by your vet and phermone dispensers (they are like a Glade plug-in) can be put around the house to discharge relaxing facial phermones to help with anxiety. The logic behind this is that while your cat may seem very happy, there may be periods where his instinctive territorial/dominant behavior is coming through. As cats mature, we get to see their "true" colors and this may be more than just a bad behavior but could actually be the tip of a psychological iceburg.
I'd definitely focus on behaviorial techniques first, and the phermone dispenser is called Feliway and can be found at pet stores and some veterinary offices if you get to that point.


text: Hi: I had my total E's measured last May and they came up elevated, at 317 pg/ml with Quest's Diagnostics reference range of < 130 pg/ml. Then, one month later, my doctor decided to retest and they dropped to 181 pg/ml, which are still elevated. He doesn't have any clue of why this happened. According to what I have read, my total Estrogens should be around 88 pg/ml (2/3's of the reference range), right? Can you guys think of any reason for this drop? I already asked Quest for an explanation but they told me that the high estrogen levels could have been caused by some estrogen injection, which of course I didn't take. They refused to retest me again as they told me that there's no lab error. Also, within this total estrogen result of 181 pg/ml, I was also tested for estrogens, fractionated in serum (also from Quest) with the following results: Total Estrogens 181 pg/ml ranges < 130 FRACTIONATED ESTROGENS, SERUM Estradiol 30 pg/ml ranges 10-60 Estrone 37 pg/ml ranges 15-65 Estriol < 0.10 ng/ml ranges < 0.2 Total testosterone 588 ng/dl ranges 189-1111 Free Testosterone 1.70% or 99.9 pg/ml ranges 1.1-2.8% and 40-150 According to Quest's lab info, the total estrogen assay measures E1 and E2, but if we add 30+37 = 67 pg/ml, it doesn't match with the 181 pg/ml (total estrogens). Basically we are having a difference of 114 pg/ml, which makes me wonder if there's another estrogen compound that is being measured in the total estrogens test (maybe estrone sulfate or another one)? Has anyone been tested for estrone sulfate? Too bad I didn't get the estrogens fractionated in serum when my total estrogens came back to 317 pg/ml. It would have been great to see how my estrone and estradiol were at that time. I'm not on any HRT or any prescription drugs that could affect estrogen levels. I'm 29 years old and weight 47 kgs. I really don't think that it would be a good idea to start taking something to lower my estrogen levels, as this would be masking the real problem as to why I'm producing too much estrogen when I'm not on any HRT. (Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated) Thanks and your help is greatly appreciated, Roberto

For yoga instructors interested in expanding their professional and personal network, a working vacation may be an ideal opportunity. In exchange for working a few hours a day teaching yoga, visiting instructors are provided with free accommodations and meals for themselves and a companion. Resort guests are treated to expert instruction while the instructors enjoy a luxury holiday. For many fitness professionals, a working vacation is a wonderful way to combine business with pleasure.
Fit Pro
This organization matches qualified applicants with resorts and cruise lines located throughout the Caribbean. In exchange for room and board for the instructor and a guest, a yoga instructor will teach an agreed-upon number of classes during their stay.
Fit Bodies, Inc.
This booking agency has an established relationship with resorts on six Caribbean islands as well as in Mexico and South America. A yoga instructor's daily work schedule will be determined by the host facility in exchange for an all-inclusive stay for the instructor and a guest. A yoga instructor is usually expected to work up to three hours a day except on arrival and departure dates.
This booking agency works with resorts in Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica to provide qualified yoga instructors in exchange for room and board for the instructor and one companion. While the agency prefers to work with instructors who are certified, a certification is not required. However, yoga instructors must be experienced teachers and comfortable leading basic classes.
Tropical Escapes
Yoga instructors are welcome to coordinate a working vacation for themselves at one of the retreats on Dominica, Jamaica or St. Lucia by contacting the organization directly. Tropical Escapes retreats offer rejuvenating vacations that integrate yoga classes along with relaxation, adventure, personal growth and cultural experiences. Combined with the scenic tropical locations and healthy island cuisine, these working vacations are a pleasure for instructors and guests alike.
Sandals Resorts
Although Sandals usually has on-site instructors at their resorts, they may need coverage when their staff instructors are away on their own vacations. The resorts in Jamaica, St. Lucia, Antigua, Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas have periodically offered guest fitness professional/working vacation positions to qualified instructors. Yoga instructors may consider contacting the corporate headquarters directly to inquire about available working vacation opportunities.

Owners of the Nook Color will be glad to know that they haven't been forgotten by the Android development community, even though there's been no word from Barnes and Noble about an official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the 2010 e-reader-turned-Android-tablet. Many of you may already know how popular the Nook Color has been since its release due to the ease of transforming the device from its boring "originally intended" user experience.
Well, thanks to XDA Recognized Developers dalingrin and fattire, you can throw the idea of originally intended use out the window once again, and spiff up your Nook Color with a beta-style Ice Cream Sandwich ROM. The build is still in its early stages, but it looks like progress is coming along at pretty nice pace. Already working are:
* bluetooth (pairing/file transfer only confirmed)
* wifi (full it seems but it's brand-new to the kernel so who knows how stable anything is)
* backlight
* accelerometer
* improved stability (but not perfect)
* gapps
* setcpu/overclock
* real data usage info (not stubbed out)
* battery levels/charging
* physical menu button
* touchscreen
* 3d games
* usb gadget in kernel (adb debugging shows up) *with experimental kernel*
You already know the drill. Make a backup and head over to the ROM thread for the full scoop. Make sure to let us know how much you're loving ICS on your Nook Color in the comment thread below.

Is anyone keeping same sleep schedule during summer?
We have such an erratic schedule in our home.
I work 11p-7a Tues, Wend, Sat, Sun. So even on my days off I try to stay awake late or wake up at 3am. Sleeping my regular schedule has been hard the last three weeks since the kids have been out of school. I am use to sleeping while everyone is at school.
My DD who goes is entering 1st grade has had a strict bedtime of 7pm since last october after discovering the few nights we had activities going on and not going to bed til 8:30; caused attention issues the following day. She is a natural early riser and she is the type that takes a while to get settled down and fall to sleep (I'm the same exact way)
My two StepSons have had the bedtime of 8:30 for a few years (one is entering 1st grade and the other 5th) and my DD who turns 5 this aug has a bedtime of 8p but it can take her until 10p to go to sleep.
DH has been trying to keep the boys on the same schedule so when fall comes around we don't have issues with bedtimes. Other than me loosing sleep (the boys just don't get that we share a bedroom wall and that running around in the hallway keeps me awake, DH tries his best but it happens) My girls have been at their dads since school let out and I don't expect them to come home for more than two days at a time this summer since they really don't get that much time with him during the school year. I know that he is allowing them to go to bed when they feel like it; which means my older daughter will go into her bedroom at 8pm and passout without saying goodnight to anyone lol. and my youngest will fall asleep when her dad does (at least he thinks, he said he has been leaving the living room light on and he can tell she plays with toys and colors before going to sleep) It's been past 98deg around here which is high for this area at this time. This has left no time for any of the kids to go outside and play for extended periods of time.
I have thought about telling DH it's ok to let everyone stay up until at least the time that I leave for work on work nights. That allows them more time outside at dusk and dark to play and gives me a few extra hours in the morning to sleep. I just don't know how healthly this would be for them. If we did it this way two weeks before school we would slowly move up their bedtimes back to what they were. I'm not worried about my eldest DD because when she is tired she is really good about going to bed in her own timeframe. and if her sister is allowed to stay up I know that her sister will get a few things out of their room and stay out til she wants to go to bed.
DD will actually have to wake earlier to leave for camp every day this summer so I imagine she'll have to get to bed earlier too
We're probably going to keep the same schedule. DD is an early riser and always has been. She gets up at the crack of down even on the weekends. That's just how her body works I guess. So even if I WANT to sleep in, I can't LOL.
Definitely not keeping the same sleep schedule here. I'm a teacher so I'm home during the summer. My son and I are night owls. We'll be up until 2 every night. My daughter goes to bed at 8:30 now but will probably start going about 9:30. DH probably won't change his schedule as he's not as much of a night owl as us (he's not a morning person either).
We stay at the pool until seven, so by the time we get home shower, eat, and all that stuff it's usually around ten. My kids will sleep late in the morning too, which is great.
We are also traveling for the first month, which will be guaranteed late nights. The first week in Orlando we will be waking up early, but that's it. After that we will sleep until we wake up and enjoy the day.
I love summer for that reason alone, staying up late and sleepin late!
He works long hours and sometimes doesn't get home untill 9-10 and leaves at 6 am.
He likes to at least be able to tuck them in at night.
Nope, my kids can stay up as late as they want (my kids are 16, 14, 12, 11 & 5 and the 5 yr old is usually asleep by 9 or 10 because she still gets up at 7), but about a week or two before school starts they start back on their regular schedule.
Yes we keep the same schedule. Ocassionaly they are allowed a late night which means being up till 9. It just helps to keep the same schedule at least for our family.

"This is a great alternative to a morning glory muffin and can be prepared for a large number of people for breakfast or brunch - use 1 teaspoon per cookie. I substituted wheat flour with spelt flour and drained the pineapple. Since I did not have one cup of pecans, I added chopped dates and raisins to make one cup. They are usually a big hit and can be frozen!"

I had a buddy move recently, and in the midst of transferring boxes, we stumbled across (ahem, purposefully went searching for and examined) his collection of 1990s Phillies autographs.
Nothing gets my blood pumping like an authentic Micky Morandini-signed baseball.
The problem: most of the hats, shirts and balls were near-impossible to identify. At least we got to cheat when it came the autographs signed on the individual player's card. Still, most of the time, we had to chalk it up to a "Yorkis Perez" and move on. If we couldn't tell who it was, that was our answer: it was Yorkis Perez.
Well, Mike Schmidt is evidently pretty unhappy about this sort of thing. So much so that he wrote an essay for the Associated Press to make his point known.
His lead:
Since when did the signatures of today's celebrity athletes become worse than your local physician's scrawl on a prescription slip?
He goes on to describe an incident back in Spring Training, when he asked for and received autographed balls from members of the current Phillies that he could auction for charity. The problem: he didn't know who was who.
A few weeks later, I'm doing inventory on some items I have gotten for the auction and I open the box of balls and I can't read any of the signatures. I study and study, hoping to see a curve or a clue that would lead me to the name.
I asked my wife if she recognized any. None. I made out Roy Halladay, Jim Thome and Jimmy Rollins. A couple had the number -- thank you Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Cliff Lee and Hunter Pence. That was a great clue, at least for me, but what about the person who buys it at the auction and may not know the numbers?
Later on, he details an event that took place on Sept. 11, 1962, when his mother was on a plane with golf legends Jack Nickluas, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer (Note: How about that f*cking plane ride?). Apparently, all the signatures were spotless and two of three were personalized.
Things have undoubtedly changed in professional sports, but here's one Hall of Famer apparently so fed up with autograph chicken scratch that he had to write about it. A lot of times when I hear former athletes criticize the current crop, it can be easy to chalk it up to the fact that current guys are making a whole lot more money than the players of the past.
HBO's Broad Street Bullies documentary had the '74 Flyers recount their nights hobnobbing at a bar in South Jersey, just hanging out after games. Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, and (back to baseball) Pat Burrell have kept that torch mostly burning in the present day, but the modern athlete just seems so much further removed from the fan than the guys of the past.
And once you read his whole column, it's really hard not to wish you had a ball from Mike Schmidt.
Autograph utopia: Neat signatures, kind words, handshakes, no pushing or shoving, quality opposed to quantity. Any chance?
The guy seems to care. Scribble or no scribble, caring is always good enough for me.

This comes after a bilateral agreement was struck between the Treasury and Manx authorities, which will see an automatic exchange of information on people who have bank accounts on the island. It is anticipated that the deal could boost the UK's coffers by hundreds of millions of pounds.
Stephen Barratt, private client director at accountants James Cowper Kreston comments: "We are seeing that the Government is becoming increasingly proactive in its drive to root out tax evaders. This is the first Crown dependency to aid the clamp down on people avoiding their taxes and it puts pressure on other tax havens to follow suit.
"Investors and account holders will have the opportunity to pay a discounted penalty when the disclosure opportunity opens in April. After 2016, penalties will be much higher and for those who would rather bury their heads in the sand, there will be the possibility of a criminal investigation."
Stephen continued: "Individuals who believe they owe tax and have not already started to deal with it would be well-advised to take advantage of the chance to get their past affairs in order and consult an accountant or tax adviser before making a voluntary declaration."
The Government is also holding talks with the authorities in Jersey and Guernsey about improving the exchange of financial information.

True Religion's Prayers are Answered
On an earnings call full of captivating revelations last night, True Religion Apparel (NASDAQ: TRLG) reported robust earnings, a share repurchase authorization and dividend announcement. No one expected the quarter's many surprises, with analysts raising price targets this morning and commenting on the heavenly future ahead for True Religion.
The call began with TRLG Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Lubell stating that the company's goal for 2012 is to grow sales by 7% to 10%, an amount that may have seemed overly ambitious before the rest of the 1Q report was revealed. However, Lubell then stated that the brand had experienced 14% net sales growth in the first quarter alone, largely thanks in part to the U.S. consumer direct segment.
"Within this segment, we posted double-digit same store sales of 13%, and total net sales growth of 23%. This is a strong testament to the strength of the True Religion brand, and the loyalty of our customer. In our US consumer segment, I am particularly pleased with our overall business performances here, as we achieved our first year-over-year increase in sales since the fourth quarter of 2008," Lubell said.
In accordance with the commendable news, research firms upped their estimates and price targets today. Brean Murray Carret & Co. raised PT from $32 to $37, while Benchmark increased it from $32 to $38.
On the flip side, one firm chose to not follow the crowd with reinstated faith and praise. Citi actually lowered its PT on TRLG from $37 to $29, with analysts stating that True Religion's international market needs some work after management guided 2Q down a bit due to the slowdown across seas.
Admittedly, Chief Financial Officer Pete Collins not only agreed that international softness will be a difficult factor to overcome in the next quarter, but said that even with U.S. sales hitting the mark, EPS will be approximately $0.35. However, confidence is key for the company, and the TRLG team believes the year will continue to be successful.
As the righteous retailer continues to enlighten investors with prophetic earnings, True Religion plans to move forward in opening 27 new stores, 14 of them being in the international segment. One step and at a time, TRLG is well on its way to being one of the very top premium fashion apparel distributor.
True Religion is currently trading at $29.64, up +0.37% YoY.

Unlike many week's this year, this would have to be one of the most insignificant in comparison as far as new music releases. There are simply no "big" releases this week as we've seen for other weeks over the past few months – like Radiohead, The Strokes, Panda Bear, Foo Fighters, The Decemberists, Bright Eyes, R.E.M., and so many others, which you can view and listen to from the Best New Releases page.
That said, there still are some definitely note-worthy releases, including The Head and The Heart, I'm From Barcelona, The High Llamas, Tuneyards, Head and American Babies. There are also releases we're liking from bands that are new-to-us, including Heavenly States, O'Death, The Unthanks, American Babies, and more.
Tuneyards gets things really moving with the uplifting African music inspired track, "Bizness," that takes you to another place. The relatively new band, Futurebirds, definitely got our attention with the excellent single, "Dirty D" from their debut, self-titled EP. Plus, a marginally known indie band, I'm From Barcelona, that we've liked for years, has a new album, as does the electro swirly-pop band The High Llmas. And Dengue Fever has the silly titled "Cement Slippers" from their new LP, which you can stream here.
20 Gigs of Free Space on Amazon Cloud: Click the album titles for any release you want to buy from Amazon, and you'll get 20 free gigs of space on the new Amazon Cloud, meaning you'll be able to access up to 20 gigs of your music from anywhere and with any device that can connect to the web.
"Bizness" – Tuneyards from Whokill
"Dirty D" – Futurebirds from Futurebirds EP
"Get In Line" – I'm From Barcelona from Forever Today
"Fly Baby, Fly" – The High Llamas from Talahomi Way
"Cement Slippers" – Dengue Fever from Cannibal Courtship
Although Record Store Day (last Saturday) is over, there's still plenty of buzz that came from it, and in some cases, there were releases that were dropped – but in limited edition vinyl, for the most part – three day earlier than standard Tuesday release date that traditionally most new albums are issued on.
One of those was from the sort of new Seattle band, The Head and The Heart, who released their self-titled debut album this week. We've only heard a few songs from the band so far, including the tracks below.
"Lost in My Mind" – The Head and the Heart from The Head and the Heart
"Chasing A Ghost" (Chapel Session) – The Head and the Heart from The Head and the Heart
Also get "Lost In The Valley" from the band's website for free.
On first listen, we kind of like their sound kind of, but it's one of those things where we're not sure yet. It could turn out to be a good album, or one that we forget about, especially compared to all of the other releases that have come out, and those still yet to drop. Pitchfork panned The Head and The Heart's debut, slapping it with a 3.5 (out of 10) rating.
It's not usual that a band on the Sub Pop roster is creamed by PF, but there it is. Then again, we really think it's up to everyone to make their own decision. We'll know by the number of times the songs are played and downloaded what songs IRC readers like the most, as is evident on the Top Ten Songs page.
Also, on Record Store Day, French Horn Rebellion, which The New York Times recently called "the next big thing", streamed their debut album on MySpace, although it was officially available this week. There is a free sampler of the album available on their MySpace page for your email, and currently on sale via Amazon for only $7.99, which also gives you free access to all of your music on the Amazon Cloud, with a total of 20 gigs of space.
"This Moment" – The French Horn Rebellion from The Infinite Music of The French Horn Rebellion
This week's other interesting new releases come from talented artists and bands that we – and imagine many of you – never heard of before and some of which we can say are now, at the least, on our radars, including talented indie bands Heavenly States and The Unthanks, the alternative folk and country rock influences of bands like O'Death and American Babies, and the post rock sounds of Rain Over St. Ambrose. Of course, we're always interested to see what you guys think. Plus, don't miss Quiet Parade and Bombino.
"Model Son" – Heavenly States from Oui Camera Oui
"Queen of Hearts" – The Unthanks from Last
"Dance All Night" – American Babies from Flawed Logic – (listen to album stream)
"DG Gold Paint" – Rose Over St. Ambrose from Rain Over St. Ambrose EP
"I Never Have Wanted Love Like That" – Quiet Parade from Please Come Home (We Hate It Here Without You)
"Tar Hani (My Love)" – Bombino from Agadez

Girardi has no plans to drop Jeter in batting order
NEW YORK -- As Derek Jeter prepares for the final month of his last big league season, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he is dismissing the outside cries for a drop in the batting order, expressing confidence in a strong finish from the captain.
Jeter's performance fell off markedly in August, with the 40-year-old posting a split line of .207/.226/.261. That dropped his batting average from .277 to .261, and Jeter posted just four extra-base hits in 26 games, working two walks.
"For the first four months of the year, he was probably one of our most consistent hitters; one of the three most consistent hitters in our club," Girardi said. "I consider us to be in playoff mode right now, for us, because we obviously need to win games. Throughout his career, he's been clutch in the playoffs and we're leaving him there."
Girardi said that Jeter is "a hot topic always just because of who he is," but noted that there have been other issues throughout the Yankees' lineup.
"You look up and down our numbers and there's a lot of .240s and .230s," Girardi said. "I'm not so sure why he's the one that's necessarily picked on here. As I've said, this guy has been a money player his whole career, and we need him to be the last month."
Girardi said that he is not averse to shuffling pieces in the lineup, pointing out that he elevated Martin Prado against left-handed pitching because of his production (.996 OPS) against southpaws. Against righties, Jeter (.634 OPS) and Prado (.624 OPS) have been similar.
"[Jeter] could hit .600 and if the other guys don't produce around him and through the lineup, then it's not going to matter what he hits," Girardi said. "It's going to have to be a collection of all these guys that can swing the bat extremely well."
Likely needing to be in the neighborhood of 89 wins to continue playing in October, the Yankees would gladly accept contributions from other corners this month; Mark Teixeira, for one, also had a punchless August that produced a .193/.276/.307 split line. The Yankees entered play on Tuesday ranked 14th among the 15 American League clubs in runs scored.
"That's not all Derek's fault. That's collectively we haven't hit," Girardi said.

(There are several other adjectives I can think of, but I can't print any of them here.)
But what's done is done. The Celtics were the better team. The Lakers can learn lessons from their inglorious NBA Finals defeat, but it's counterproductive to look back when the future is so bright.
So let's put Game 6 behind us, look ahead to 2008-09 and try to figure out what the Lakers need to claim the trophy the Celtics now own.

Constant heavy rain and flooding in England and Wales killed at least two people as the government issued safety warnings throughout the country.
Last night, on Western War in Exeter, a woman was, according to the Press Association, killed underneath a fallen tree.
On Thursday, a man died after his car became lodged under a bridge in Chew Stoke, Somerset.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he would "ensure everything is being done to help."
The Twitter account of the Prime Minister's office (not his personal account) yesterday retweeted a flood warning from the Environment Agency:
There are currently 52 flood warnings and 159 flood alerts across England & Wales. More rain is forecast. Latest info: bit.ly/WmrWta
The Environment Agency asked people to be prepared and remain watchful:
"We're urging people to remain vigilant and be prepared for further flooding as more rainfall is forecast," the group said on its website. "Check our flood warnings for the most up to date information for your area. Be prepared – sign up to receive flood warnings if you're in a flood risk area and stay away from dangerous flood water."
The agency says 816 houses have been affected by flooding. It has also issued 270 flood alerts.
The BBC quoted its correspondent Chris Fawkes who said more rain is expected.
"A weather front was slowly moving across north England and north Wales Sunday night and Monday, and it's here that we are likely to see some further serious flooding."
The Prime Minister tweeted form his personal account earlier today:
Shocking scenes of flooding in Cornwall and around the country. Govt will help ensure everything is being done to help.

I set in my jar on the shelf
and try to think things out.
It's nice to be alone in the quiet, sometimes …
Find a deep trunk or a
dark closet, somewhere to
hide and gather my mind,
then evaluate to see what
I find. When I come out
I twist the lid on tightly
so no one else can find
the inside of my jar; I
shut the sliding door, so
they can't find my shelf.
It's the only place I have
to myself.
Crawling out
of the hundreds of shoes
pushing up the lid of
the trunk, I can seep
out into the light, where
my mind has more to
think of than myself
and my life. Things can
line up then, fall into
order. Voices I couldn't
hear are louder.
Through my jarred
meditation, I can be
happy. I can see where
to place myself.
Life's clearer
November Till the Mantis Flies Away
Contest Winner
An undercurrent whisper in the wind
in model harmonies tells of magic,
witchcraft boiling somewhere in the oak
and cypress forest; and the fumes of spells
long aging in the wood will wisp and wander
in the breeze. The leaves turn yellow as
the magic passes smooth among them. Sooth!
Say sooth, my friend, and laugh into the witch-wind!
or its breath will waft the autumn into you.
November till the magic will be through,
November till the mantis flies away,
and snow will stop the fires, stop the fires.
Forever Flashings
Contest Winner
My father
focuses heart-gripping flashes
Across the wall screen,
Family slides.
I am small,
My brother is smaller,
My sister is smallest.
Days now dead
Reopen like old storybooks
From memories' heaped box,
Pulling out pictures of
Cooking in Grandfather's Dutch oven,
Playing cheetah in our
Backyard monkey-jungle,
Being beautifully Easter-bested
with my coat buttoned wrong,
Hugging a mommy minus grey hair.
Soberly I think
Of another Father
Who someday shall open my mind
And flash reeling remembering
Of every day's minute
Across my soul,
Across the heavens,
And kindly ask me to narrate.

London – Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez has confirmed Ashley Cole has reached an agreement with the club over a new contract, but sidestepped any talk about the future of Frank Lampard.
The 32-year-old Cole, one of the world's top left backs, is expected to sign his deal Monday and Benitez.
"I am really pleased – the paperwork has to be done but the agreement is there," said Benitez.
Lampard appears to be on his way out of Stamford Bridge, however, with the club yet to offer him a new contract.
Speaking after Sunday's 2-1 win over Arsenal, in which Lampard scored a penalty, Benitez said the 34-year-old midfielder is "doing a great job ... he is playing well" but stressed "it is not my decision" to extend his stay at the club. – Sapa-AP

Ironically, Chris Christie, whose known for striking a bellicose pose and throwing his considerable weight around actually called someone else a bully last week. The occasion was a forum hosted by the American Federation For Children at the Westin Hotel on Jersey City's waterfront.
Christie claimed he's standing up to the bully of the "entrenched educational establishment," referring to his ongoing battle with the state's teachers union.
Christie was at the conference to tout his administration's school voucher program that, if passed, would provide indirect public funding that in theory would cover some, if not all, the tuition for students in underperforming public schools to transfer to a private school.
Christie was a hit with the 150 delegates at the AFC's opening luncheon. He said everything they wanted to hear. He launched into his now familiar screed about the public school tenure system he claims makes it virtually impossible to fire bad teachers and he repeated his oft-heard declaration about getting them out of the classroom. To the extent the tail is wagging the dog, the governor is right in resisting pressure from that sector.
True, it's the job of labor unions to improve the working conditions of its membership, but often state and municipal governments, with elected officials courting votes, have made some bad tradeoffs with public money.
However I'm old enough to remember when, in order to make ends meet, my high school history teacher was also my milkman. The pitiful salaries teachers earned in the 1950s was the impetus for unionizing and we shouldn't forget that.
But Christie is allying himself with outfits like the American Federation For Children, founded by a cabal of right wing billionaires, who on occasion work in tandem with the American Legislative Exchange Council that gave us the Stand Your Ground laws as well as the new age Jim Crow voting law that have popped up in more than two dozen states. ALEC is another aggregation of right-wingers with lots of money who are willing to pay for the government they want.
Recently the Star-Ledger ran an expose detailing how a number of bills concerning education, promulgated and backed by the Christie administration, are virtual ringers of models created by ALEC.
For those who don't know, ALEC is a non-profit organization whose membership includes many of the country's largest and most powerful corporations, as well as state and federal legislators, who meet and draw up legislation that the elected members take back to their state legislature or to congress and attempt to pass into law.
One Christie sponsored bill, The Urban Hope Act -- that reads like a template supplied by ALEC -- allows non-profit companies to run public schools in distressed cities. Another bill, modeled on an ALEC proposal, would essentially turn over supervision and running of public schools to public colleges and universities, making them exempt from the authority of boards of education. It will exempt school officials and employees from all state laws, rules and regulations regarding education.
ALEC and the AFC converge in their determination to privatize public education. It's troubling to say the least to contemplate this nexus of big money, elected officials, and mammoth corporations colluding to create and pass laws.
This is principally a Republican thing; the onerous, new restrictions on voting, even registering to vote, were born in GOP-dominated states.
In Michigan the GOP governor has tossed democracy aside and appointed "town managers," in several municipalities which usurp the power of the citizens and their elected officials. Thus becoming the sole voice in deciding how things should be done and run, rendering all that Republican palaver about freedom as just empty rhetoric.

Details of Sweeney Todd and the Ticket Luck value
Sweeney Todd
SWEENEY TODD, THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET is a musical with a book by Hugh Wheeler and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Sweeney Todd opened on Broadway at the Uris Theatre on March 1, 1979. The musical played for 576 performances. The story centers on the character of Sweeney Todd, formerly known as Benjamin Barker, who returns from the severe colonies in Australia, where he has spent fifteen years on false charges. When he learns from Mrs. Lovett, whose meat pies are the worst in London, that his wife poisoned herself after being raped by Judge Turpin, and his daughter is imprisoned by Judge Turpin, he vows revenge. The two become conspirators in a dark plot that results in mass murder.
Act I
Anthony Hope and Sweeney Todd arrive in London with opposite feelings about their return to the city. Hope is happy to be back in the city, while Todd is grim and uneasy. They are accosted by a crazy Beggar Woman who thinks that she recognizes Todd, but Todd chases her away. Hope offers to help Todd get on his feet with some financial assistance, but Todd declines and, trance-like, tells a tragic story. There was once a barber who had a beautiful wife, but she was coveted by a rich judge who exiled the barber so that he could have the barber's wife. Todd leaves Hope, indicating that he will be staying near Fleet Street.
Act II
Business is booming in the pie shop, and Mrs. Lovett is finally experiencing some prosperity. There are customers lined up around the corner to savor her meat pies. Todd and Mrs. Lovett have devised a new system for the meat delivery; when Todd kills someone, he sends the body parts down a tube to the bake house.Todd thinks upon the loss of his daughter, ultimately becoming more and more deadened to it as he loses himself in his bloody vengeance on all of London. Meanwhile, the Beggar Woman is suspicious of the pie shop. Hope searches for Johanna and discovers that Judge Turpin has locked her away in an insane asylum. He attempts to rescue her but fails.
Mrs. Lovett daydreams about married life with Todd. Hope bursts in, telling of Johanna's imprisonment. Todd sends Hope back to the asylum disguised as a wigmaker. Todd gives him a gun and instructs him to bring Johanna back to the shop. Tobias is becoming suspicious of Todd, but Mrs. Lovett calms him down by sending him downstairs to grind some meat. The Beadle shows up to respond to some complaints of a foul smell coming from the shop. Todd takes the Beadle upstairs for a free shave before he inspects the ovens. Tobias is still in the basement grinding and begins to suspect that the meat is human, just as the Beadle comes down the chute. He tries to escape but realizes that he is locked in.
Original Broadway production
After nineteen previews, the Broadway production, directed by Hal Prince and choreographed by Larry Fuller, opened on March 1, 1979 at the Uris Theatre. Despite initial poor audience reaction -- on opening night, half the audience is said to have left in disgust at intermission -- the show ran for 557 performances, closing on June 29, 1980. The cast included Angela Lansbury, Len Cariou, Victor Garber, Sarah Rice, Merle Louise, Ken Jennings, Edmund Lyndeck and Craig Lucas. Original West End production
The musical opened in London's West End on July 2, 1980 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, starring Denis Quilley and Sheila Hancock and ran for 157 performances.
Musical analysis
Sondheim's score is one of his most complex to date. Sondheim also quotes the ancient Dies Irae Gregorian chant and in the accompaniment to Epiphany. He also relies heavily on leitmotif.

Installing Apache Can't Find The Php Module
Nov 13, 2001
so everything is compiled into apache.. but for some reason, its not executing anything ending in .php (it just asks if I want to download it). Php is compiled statically into the httpd binary, and I have the line "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" in an apache config file. It's definitely recognizing it as the correct mime type because when the download box pops up in netscape, it says the file is of type "application x-httpd-php". It would seem that the problem is because apache can't find the php module, but when I run "httpd -l" on the httpd binary, it says right there that mod_php4.c is compiled in... sooo I'm pretty stumped.View 3 Replies

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Chilton, Bucks, United Kingdom, 2008/11/28 - QSI is launching a Rental Instrument Interfacing Service that enables WinLims Rental customers to cost effectively interface their instruments to their WinLims systems.
Instrument interfacing provides numerous benefits for most laboratories including greatly reducing the requirement for manual results entry and eliminating transcription errors.
The QSI Rental Instrument Interfacing Service enables single and bi-directional instrument interfaces to be fully configured for the customers instrument types for as little as £30 per month per instrument type. Using the service a company with five gas chromatography systems of the same type and model would only need to pay £30 per month to cover all five instruments.
Instrument interfacing with most LIMS vendors can be an expensive exercise involving the purchase of interfacing software and a custom setup service for each instrument type. This often requires an additional LIMS licence for each instrument connected to the LIMS, explained QSIs UK managing director Clive Collier. The Rental Instrument Interfacing Service enables WinLims Rental customers to achieve the benefits of instrument interfacing while paying on a rental basis. It really is the best of both worlds. The return on investment per month is significantly more the than the monthly fee owing to the considerable amount of employee time saved by reducing manual results entry.
QSIs WinLims Rental allows an organization to use a full LIMS for a low monthly fee, with a low up-front cost. WinLims Rental is identical to QSIs full WinLims system, and comes bundled with an installation program and tutorials to get users up and running as quickly and easily as possible. The rental agreements can be converted to a subscription contract or full purchase at any time, keeping an organizations options open.
The company also offers a Rental Customization Service to give WinLims Rental customers a cost-effective way of tailoring QSIs WinLims out of the box solution to meet their specific information management requirements.
Quality Systems International (UK) Ltd is a leader in the supply of innovative software solutions to the laboratory market.

There is a Dr. JoAnne Cornwell who has claimed that she has developed a form of locking hair called brotherlocks and sisterlocks. She claims that they do not put any form of tension on the scalp meaning no traction alopecia. I was hoping you could look into this potential scam before it fools too many.
This is a styling option, not a medical or surgical option. I looked at the product's website, but I am not sure what Sisterlocks is (aside from some kind of hair extension for African hair types) or how it attaches to the hair or scalp. It seems like it's just a technique rather than a product, but I've spent 15 minutes going through this site and I'm still coming up empty. Anyone else have an idea?
Sorry, but I can not help you understand it any better.

EAVANA (May. 18)
Menachem Beigin, former leader of the now-dissolved Irgun Zvai Leumi and present head of the Herut Party in Israel, arrived here by air and was greeted by some 2,000 Cuban Jews. The rightist leader was scheduled to be guest of honor at a $100-plate dinner at the Ectel Nacional here. He is visiting several Latin American countries during his present junket.
The Zionist Federation of Cuba issued a statement declaring that it is not taking part in the reception to Mr.Beigin, since he is visiting Cuba not as a representative of the Israel Government, but as leader of the Herut seeking to raise funds among Cuban Jews, despite a ban on seperate fund-raising efforts for Israel. The Hashomer Hatzair organization distributed a pamphlet in Spanish charging that Mr. Beigin is a "murderer."

The Monkees' Micky Dolenz talks about losing Davy Jones, regaining Michael Nesmith and more
The TV show The Monkees stopped airing on NBC in '68, but the band the Monkees — fueled by such hits as Pleasant Valley Sunday, Last Train to Clarksville and Daydream Believer — lived on in albums, reruns and tours, including a stop this Sunday at Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall.
Davy Jones, the British "cute one," died in February 2012, a staggering blow to the band. But the mercurial Michael Nesmith, 70, who's been in and out of the crew, is back with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork for the latest go-round.
"It's still bizarre" not having Davy onstage, Dolenz said in a recent phone interview. "There's one thing missing, you know?"
As for Nesmith, his return has been a much-needed boost. "We've always done a lot of Mike's material because he writes such great stuff," says Dolenz. "Playing with him again, we have such a nice blend on the harmonies."
The Monkees perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Tickets are $50-$125. Click here to get them.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
replace the brake pressure deactivation switch (for the cruise control) this should solve your problem ...
There is a cruise control deactivation switch on Windstar that is being recalled in other Fords but not Windstar. They get really hot and can even cause a fire. If your's has never been replaced it is right under the master cylinder. Try unplugging it. If you take it out a little brake fluid will drip out the hole, so only do it if you have a new one. They are really cheap. It might still happen after you fix it though cuz the heat could have damaged a lot of sensitive electronics.
hope this has been helpful bonus always appreciated.please accept pay and feedback thank you god bless
Hello, I am John, a Ford dealer technician. Robert isn't here right now so maybe I can help you.
I hope I can help solve your problem quickly and accruately.
It really depends on the scan tool that the parts store has reads abs codes. If they do it should list a code pertaining to your problem. Even if the problem is intermittent it should still set a memory code to help with diagnosis. If they can't read it most independant shops and almost all Ford shops should be able to help you with this problem so you can have it repaired right the first time. If they can read the codes and you need further help let me know and we can go from there.
I hope this answer has been helpful to you! If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

Over the years, the Lexus RX hybrid has emerged as one of the best-selling hybrid SUVS on the road. Certainly, for those with the added cash to enjoy the prestige of the vehicle's nameplate, the new 2011 Lexus RX 450h is worth looking at for its combination of efficiency, luxury and comfort. Keep reading to review specs, features and mpgs of the new Lexus RX hybrid.
What's New - 2011 Lexus RX 450h
The RX 450h went through a major redesign last year. As such, there are few changes for the vehicle in 2011 (save for the elimination of a previously available Sports package). Given the similarities with last year's model, it may be worth looking into a lightly used 2010 Lexus RX 450h.
2011 Lexus RX 450h Styling
The new Lexus RX 450h boasts a simple, yet elegant exterior design. The vehicle incorporates a number of styling cues that can be found across the entire Lexus lineup. Additionally, a few hybrid-exclusive accouterments (unique grille, front bumper, etc.) help distinguish the 450h from its all-gasoline RX brethren.
Inside, the Lexus hybrid SUV delivers largely what drivers have come to expect from a Lexus vehicle. Interior fit and finish is suitable for the luxury class and plenty of high-tech features are available. Both front and rear seats offer good real estate and receive generally good reviews for comfort. Cargo space for the RX 450h is good when compared to the competition (40 cubic feet with seats up and 80.3 cubic feet with rear seats down).
View additional Lexus RX photos.
2011 Lexus RX 450h Performance
The Lexus RX 450h comes equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6 that combines with two electric motors to deliver a total of 295 horsepower. Base models earn 32 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Models outfitted with all-wheel drive drop to 30 mpg in the city.
As far as hybrid SUVS go, the RX 450h offers some of the best engine specifications. This allows for above-average acceleration and engine power when needed. Zero-to-60 mph estimates come in at close to 7.5 seconds. Additionally, the luxury SUV delivers a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs.
Review full Lexus RX 450h specifications.
2011 Lexus RX 450h Safety
The RX 450h comes with a long list of standard safety features that includes anti-lock disc brakes, front and rear side airbags, side curtain airbags, dual front knee airbags, stability control and traction control. Safety Connect also comes standard, which incorporates automatic collision notification, an emergency assistance button and stolen vehicle locator. Optional safety equipment includes a backup camera, parking assist, pre-collision system and adaptive cruise control. In crash tests performed by the federal government, the Lexus RX 450h earned a best-possible five-star rating in both frontal and side impact categories.
2011 Lexus RX 450h Prices and Features
Starting at more than $42,000, the 2011 Lexus RX 450h is one of the most expensive hybrids available. However, it also boasts one of the best-equipped packages as well. Standard features include keyless ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power driver's seat, fog lights, wood trim, reclining rear seat, nine-speaker stereo, six-disc CD changer, auxiliary jack and satellite radio. Optional package upgrades are exhaustive, and incorporate such notable features as driver seat memory, sunroof, power tailgate, heated seats, side-view cameras, voice-control navigation and Bluetooth.
