Culver City, CA – Interior design firm Color Design Art (CDA) announces new regional awards for its interior design, model home merchandising and sales office design achievements. "For every demographic and price point, we take pride in creating lifestyle environments that respond to the aspirations of real world buyers," says CDA president Don Anderson. "We are delighted with this most recent recognition of our success in this regard."
Color Design Art's latest accolades came at the SAM Awards, sponsored by the San Diego Sales and Marketing Council and the Elan Awards, sponsored by the Sales and Marketing Council of Los Angeles/Ventura. Color Design Art also contributed to a "best of show" honor in the SAM program, where Shea Home's Sanctuary was named Best Detached Community of the Year for homes priced more than $700,001. Winning a SAM for interior design was Plan 3 at Silhouette in San Diego for John Laing Homes.
The firm took an Elan for model interior merchandising of Plan 3 at Cordelane in San Diego by John Laing Homes and Plan 3 at Sanctuary for Shea. The firm also earned an Elan for the model sales center for Encantada at Ladera Ranch for Pardee Homes. This honor contributed to the top award for Encantada as Community of the Year for detached housing priced more than $850,000.
"We rely on our industry's finest and most innovative professionals to create model homes that reflect our company and speak to our buyers," says Teri Shusterman, vice president of marketing for Shea Homes. "We thank Color Design Art for their contributions to our success and applaud their honors in the Elan and SAM competitions."
Anderson notes that Color Design Art project teams deserved the highest credit for the firm's ongoing recognition. "All of these honors are a direct reflection of the work from our designers and project managers in Culver City and in Thousand Oaks," he adds. "These awards validate our versatility and commitment to client success, and we are truly gratified."
Established in 1970, Color Design Art is versed in the spectrum of interior design commissions, from new homes and sales centers to recreational, retail and mixed-use facilities. It is one of the nation's premier model home merchandising firms, with hundreds of awards for new housing that ranges from single neighborhoods to extensive master-planned communities.
Recognized by the real estate development field as a pioneer in the field of lifestyle-targeted interiors, Color Design Art serves homebuilder and community development firms throughout the nation, with clients that include Brookfield Homes, John Laing Homes, Lennar Homes and Pardee Homes.

Best universal remotes
(Updated January 20, 2014 10:08 PM PST)It's long been known that the remedy for a common case of remote clutter is the universal remote. However, when it comes to turning five remotes--or even more--into a single ubercontroller for all that equipment stacked beneath your TV or in your towering audio rack, you have a lot of choices. Yes, they're supposed to do the same thing, yet they all seem to go about it slightly differently and offer a variety of interfaces and designs. These remotes represent the best of the bunch, so you can find the perfect remote that lets you banish all those clickers to a drawer--forever.
Logitech Harmony Smart Control
The Logitech Harmony Smart Control combines RF functionality and smartphone control in an affordable universal-remote package, but the complexity of the initial setup will burden some buyers.

Despite its high price and a handful of drawbacks, the Logitech Harmony Ultimate is an impressive, feature-rich universal remote that's well worth the investment, particularly if you have a lot of components in your system.

Communication and Culture
Public space is planned space. The discourse that takes place among federal, municipal and local governments, as well as the interaction that takes place on the street between people, informs the agenda and values inherent in policy and social norms. Urban revitalization strategies and city bylaws produce public and private spaces, thereby informing the cityscape within which everyone interacts. This study examines the contribution, circulation and regulation of transgressive actions in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in order to consider what these actions reveal about power relations in the urban environment and the production of public space. This research uses both a policy case study and urban theory to investigate the means by which public and private spaces are produced and imbued with the ideologies that shape and maintain these spaces in Winnipeg's downtown area.

Bird Flu: 10 Questions, 10 Answers
"Nobody says these drugs are going to protect everybody," Moscona tells WebMD. "But in an epidemic, a drug that prevents as little as 50% of transmission, even that has a role."
Vaccines, not antiviral drugs, are the key to stopping the flu. An experimental H5N1 vaccine has been made -- a major scientific achievement. New ways of using it already are in the works.
But the first batch of this prototype vaccine likely will not be a good match for whatever bird flu virus eventually emerges to cause a pandemic. New batches of vaccine will have to be made. That process would take more than a year before most people can be immunized. And it will take two shots, weeks apart, before a person is protected. Meanwhile, experts suspect that modern transportation would carry flu around the world.
Since a vaccine won't immediately be available, flu drugs will be a major line of defense. But there won't be enough of the drugs to go around unless the next pandemic waits several years to strike.
6. Should individuals stock up on flu drugs?
No. Several flu experts tell WebMD that they are not stocking up on flu drugs, and they strongly recommend that individuals follow their lead.
Why? First of all, the drugs are in short supply. In the event of a pandemic, public health workers will need all the flu drugs they can get in order to treat people actually exposed to the virus. The drugs won't do nearly as much good sitting in people's medicine cabinets.
And even if you had the drugs on hand, when would you take them? Without a flu test, it's hard to know whether your symptoms are the flu or another respiratory infection. And the pills only work against the flu.
7. Can you get bird flu from eating chicken or other poultry?
No, not if the meat is fully cooked. Cooking kills flu viruses in poultry, meat, and eggs.
The bird flu virus can survive on raw meat from infected poultry. Proper hygiene -- hand washing and the disinfecting of all surfaces that come in contact with the meat -- is essential.
8. How do you catch bird flu?
People have caught bird flu from handling infected poultry and from surfaces contaminated with poultry feces. There are a few suspected cases of human-to-human bird flu transmission. This happened only after prolonged face-to-face contact. But bird flu has not learned how to spread easily from person to person.
9. Is there more than one type of bird flu?
Yes. The H5N1 bird flu gets a lot of attention because it is so widespread in Asia, and because many of the people unlucky enough to catch it from poultry have died.

Conveyor are a Brooklyn band that released the lovely EP Sun Ray earlier this year (stream it for free at their Bandcamp). Not ones to sit around and wait to be discovered, the band have been hard at work on more material and today we are giving you a taste of it with the song "Mukraker" – and it's undoubtedly their best song to date!
"Mukraker" will be released as part of a split 7″ single with Illuminator. If you'd like to know a little more about what you're getting yourself into before you listen, then just enjoy this excerpt from the press release for the song:
["Mukraker"] is a droning experiment in melody. The song channels hyperventilating Soviet-era cosmonauts trapped in spiraling death capsules, undocumented heroes propelled towards the infinite birth canal of the universe. The only chord in the song is "A." The song elicits alpha-wave resonances which trigger neocortical hallucinations when played on repeat for extended lengths of time; sonic stargazing.
Firstly, we'd like to ask if the author of such a magnificent blurb would like to offer his services to BPM. Secondly, if you want a slightly more tangible description then I can tell you that while "Mukraker" is based around a drone-like rhythm and style, the song is also playful and colorful, with comradely lyrics, a killer vocal hook and an intoxicating wave of horns that comes in at the crescendo and takes the song to whole new heights.
Essentially, the only thing left for you to do at this point is to hit play below.
The single will be available from January 2nd on Conveyor's Bandcamp. While you're there, you can buy their recommended Sun Ray EP on orange vinyl for $3 off by using the promotional code 'sunrayholiday' up until the end of 2011.
2012 is going to be a big year for Conveyor, as they are hard at work on their debut full length. If you'd like to keep up to date with the band then follow them here on Twitter and 'like' them here on Facebook. Additionally, if you're going to be around Brooklyn on January 5th then you can head down to Glasslands Gallery and see them play their first show and get a sneak peak what's in store from the band.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

rff1967 from NC, Rating:5.0I first starting using the �CALPAK Spider� backpack as a handy down from my son; off course he needed a new backpack for every school year. I have used it now for four years on my 100 mile per day motorcycle ride to work and back. I ripped the side after getting it caught on an object in my garage, and after looking at many other styles to replace it with, I finally decided to go ahead and repurchase the same bag. It is light weight, durable, and the compartments have met my needs very well. The number one seller for me, because of my motorcycle use, was the airflow technology and the padding it provides while resting on my back. A great purchase for the price, and I believe if you want better, you will need to spend twice as much.

patiob1958 from Sedona AZ, Rating:4.0Am taking it to Nicaragua as a light field pack, Will update review when I come back. Seems well made, can't expect much beefier waist and shoulder straps for the price especially if you don't want a heavy pack.

This ring looks exactly like it does on the picture. It is a really nice ring with a vintage look to it. I get complimented on it all the time. Sometimes I wear it with my wedding band and people are always impressed!
I love this ring- very sparkly, I get complimented all the time, and I can't stop looking at my hand. I have skinny fingers and the center black stone with white all around it is big enough to be noticed, but doesn't look costume-y at all. I wish I would have ordered a half size smaller, though.
my daughter loved it says it was the best birthday present ever ! even posted it on facebook. pretty good huh ?
The ring is pretty & I wear it a lot @ work. I've had some compliments.
I bought this ring as I have always wanted a black diamond, but didn't want to spend the money for the real thing in this size. It is absolutely beautiful. The center stone is beautiful, the side stones are dazzling and the setting looks great. really looks like I spent a lot of money on it.
Absolutely beautiful ring. Constantly getting compliments. Looks real
I really liked this ring, however I was expecting it to be a little "daintier"! I don't like big jewelry and this one is just a "tad" too large of a center stone, for my taste. I have to say that it was a very beautiful piece and it looked like a ovely vintage ring. I ended up returning it, and I will keep looking for one in a smaller design.
I love it! It is petite but fancy without being gaudy. It has a lot of sparkle and for the price well worth it!!
Looks just like the picture, fits perfectly, and you can only tell in certain lights that it is actually a dark sapphire! LOVE IT!
I had purchased a different ring (13358185) that was sterling silver with a black sapphire and diamonds. I absolutely loved it but I had purchased a size 5 and I really needed a 5.5. I sent it back and purchased this one to replace it for about $10 more since the reviews looked so impressive for this ring and it came in size 5.5. When it arrived, it did not look nearly as elegant to me as the first ring. I had been to the ophthalmologist that day and I thought it resembled my dilated eyes. I tried it on and the fit was perfect but I did not wear it. I kept it for a few days to determine whether or not I was really disappointed in it and never did fall in love with it. Fortunately, I was able to return this ring to overstock.com. They still had the first ring in a 5.5 size but only had 3 left. I immediately ordered that one and I am really looking forward to getting to wear it.

Utility, EPA reach agreement on $40 million Superfund cleanup in Ashland
An Eau Claire utility will pay about $40 million to clean up a Superfund site once home to a manufactured gas plant on Lake Superior in Ashland.
The cleanup was announced after the U.S. Department of Justice, Environmental Protection Agency, state Department of Natural Resources and NSP-Wisconsin agreed to a cleanup plan filed in federal court in Madison.
Under the agreement, NSP, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy Inc., will fund the cleanup of the land portion of the Ashland lakefront site, and will contract for cleanup work that could begin late this year, Xcel said.
The site is a 40-acre site on the shore of Chequamegon Bay in Lake Superior. It was used for a variety of industrial purposes for more than a century. Contamination on the site includes a variety of volatile organic compounds including benzene, as well as semivolatile organic compounds, according to EPA.
EPA said it plans to require additional cleanup, of sediments in Chequamegon Bay, but that the lake portion of the agreement is not part of the settlement filed in Madison Wednesday.
As part of the agreement, the utility will transfer 990 acres of land along the Iron River to the state Department of Natural Resources. In addition, 400 acres of land within the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians will be transferred to the tribe.
The tribe and DNR will work to enhance natural resources including fisheries in the bay and nearby rivers.
"Chequamegon Bay and Lake Superior will be better protected as a result of this agreement," said EPA Region 5 Regional Administrator Susan Hedman in a statement. "Removing the most highly contaminated soil from the site and controlling the flow of contaminated groundwater will prevent polluted water from entering the bay and harming fisheries."
NSP said it would work toward reaching agreement so that other entities that face liability for the Superfund site, including railroad companies and the city of Ashland, contribute to the cleanup costs.
"While challenging, this project provides a unique opportunity to continue to work together so we can leverage the city's waterfront development plan and revitalize this once heavily industrialized area into a place that provides benefits for the entire community," said Mark Stoering, NSP-Wisconsin president in a statement.

Swiss, thanks for the laugh.
This is an example that needs to be heeded as the Wisconsin senate looks at changing mining laws. Who do you think pays for the EPA's share- taxpayers. All companies need to have skin in the game for the potential costs of environmental clean-up. That is the carrot for them to even consider what would be better for the environment. So far, the GOP has allowed companies to take the profits, not pay taxes, and not have to pay for the environmental damage that they caused.
Excel will pass the cost to the ratepayers.Keep in mind this contamination occurred before any of us were born and one of the changes proposed in Wisconsin's Mining Law was to shorten the time for the mining company to show financial responsibilty after closing down a mine.
It's not just the mining laws. They have already taken the teeth from environmental protection agencies in this state. For example, the executive branch approves how the DNR enforces regulations. There is proof now that there are many fewer enforcement actions under the current governor than there have been in the past. There was also the bill that unwound the impediments for developers to wipe out natural wetlands for development. You know, it's easy to just relocate a watershed governor dropout. Once you loosen regs, bad things happen and the environmental damage is nearly always irrevocable, regardless of the violator's ability to pay.

As pundits and politicians attempt to make sense of the radicalism on the extreme right of the Republican Party, it might be worthwhile to recall America's long history with extreme views. Perhaps the one true thing to remember about radicalism is that because of radical thoughts, actions, and sacrifices, these United States came into being. Yet, almost immediately (the ink on the Constitution quite possibly remained wet) radicalism's remnants challenged the system. (more…)

Dust Mites, Devolution, and Change…
Posted by Joe Krulder under Blog Post | Tags: Devolution, Dollo's Law, William Cronon |[2] Comments
Another scientific law bites the "dust," sorry, the pun was too obvious to ignore. In the Journal Systematic Biology (March 8, 2013), the study, "Is Permanent Parasitism Reversible? — Critical Evidence from Early Evolution of House Dust Mites," raises serious doubts against Dollo's Law, essentially a treatise that states evolution is not reversible. Apparently, Dollo's Law has been disproved. The lowly dust mite is going backwards.
History, too, has been guilty of pushing a Dollo-esque trend, that human societies continue to evolve, not devolve. (more…)

I've been so busy hacking away at research and writing that I totally missed posting anything to this blog for the entire month of July! Gadzooks.
So I figure the best way to rectify this is to share a wee bit of what I've been working on.

"Soul by Soul": That Has to Be My Goal
Posted by Joe Krulder under Blog Post | Tags: American Historical Association, cultural history, James W. Cook, Robert Tinkler, Soul by Soul, Walter Johnson |[2] Comments
Chalk one up to the AHA (American Historical Association). To be honest, of late, I've been feeling a sense of being adrift. Not good: especially since I'm about to embark on a dissertation… in a foreign country. I need to be grounded, I need to feel a sense of the possible, not the improbable.
Then the latest AHA quarterly, American Historical Review (June 2012), arrived; an issue dedicated to all things "turning." No, not my stomach (nerves); rather a huge issue dedicated to the historiography of recent "turns" within the discipline. The "cultural" turns grabbed my attention as microhistory – a cultural method – is the big sword I carry into Bristol University to get my work done. (more…)

Throughout the play, the author expresses that dreams depend solely on life experiences. The dream which Mama wishes to fulfill is to buy a house in order to provide for her family. She speaks to Ruth about wanting to invest some of the insurance money as a down payment "on a little old two story" (44). Although a lot of time has passed since Mama first dreamt of owning a home, she still wishes to fulfill that dream ensure that she can provide better opportunities for her family. Walter's dream of owning a liquor store is much more materialistic than the dreams of the other characters. One day, Ruth says to Mama that Walter has "his heart set on that store," which indicates his primary goal for money in order to support his family (41). The only problem with Walter's logic is that he insists the only he can ultimately provide for his family is by owning the liquor store. As a more independent character, Beneatha's dream of becoming a doctor would benefit her more than anyone else in her family. When Beneatha is talking to Asagai one day, she says that she has never gotten over the fact that a single being "could...make another all right again" (133). She then goes on to say that she wants to be able to do that.
In the play, the impacts of the actions that were taken to fulfill the American Dream are essentially evolutionary. Mama invests money from her late... [continues]

Matt black vs Flat black?cyberkid 10-04-2006, 05:47 AM Sorry, this must seem like a dumb question to some.. but: What is the difference between flat black and matt black? definitions I have found so far: matt (also spelled matte): French mat, from Old French, faded, defeated : lacking or deprived of luster or gloss: as a : having a usually smooth even surface free from shine or highlights <matte metals> <a matte finish> b : having a rough or granular surface flat: hrm, of all the online dictionaries I have tried, no definitions fit. So.. my own: A surface that does not reflect light well due to it being uneven. So far I'm guessing that: flat looks flat yet is 'bumpy' matt looks flat but is smooth? Very muddled here... Thanks for any clarifications beforehand. Steve sjelic 10-04-2006, 06:20 AM if you ask me flat=matt as gloss=shiny or am I the dumb one? :D Lurchio 10-04-2006, 07:13 AM Flat and Matt are same thing drunken monkey 10-04-2006, 07:14 AM different brands different labels. as far as i know, only tamiya use the term "flat"; i mean, i don't recall them having a "matte" paint in their acrylic range. Bone Thug 10-04-2006, 08:34 AM tamiya has a matt black in spray cans cyberkid 10-04-2006, 08:52 AM tamiya has a matt black in spray cans Yeah.. that's where I noticed it... that's why I got so confused... thanks for the reply guys. Steve rsxse240 10-04-2006, 03:59 PM testors has flat, and matte in their model master line of enamels. from what I can tell, the MATTE has a super dull finish that doesn't reflect at all, where the flat is just a bit more dull than semi gloss. this is from personal experience using the model master paints, and model master airbrush enamel thinner mixed approximately 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner, or thinned to the consistency of whole milk. LS1Aaron 10-04-2006, 09:02 PM Its the same thing,regardless of differences between brands. Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2014

Three major Ventura County organizations have donated $30,000 to a campaign designed to help needy residents get food, shelter and healthcare.
First 5 Ventura County, Ventura County Community Foundation and United Way of Ventura County each committed $10,000 in seed money to the drive, officials said this week.
Organizers say the campaign is trying to raise support from the public to address the crisis emerging in meeting basic needs.
"In times of trouble, communities have always come together to help their own," says a joint statement issued by the leaders of the three organizations.
Local nonprofit agencies are "in a vise" because they're faced with rising demand amid reductions in state funding, private contributions and investment returns, the organizations said.
Backers launched the campaign last week through a collaborative called Ventura County Together. No goal has been set, but the drive is ongoing.
Gifts will be divided as follows: 30 percent to the Oxnard-based food bank called FOOD Share, 30 percent for nonprofit free clinics and 30 percent for housing and homelessness programs.
The remaining 10 percent will be given to the 211 referral line that connects residents with services at local agencies.
Donations can be made online at http://www.vctogether.org or by sending a check to Ventura County Together, c/o United Way of Ventura County, 1317 Del Norte Road, Suite 100, Camarillo, CA 93010.

This place is a hole! Do not stay here... unless you want your stuff stolen! The land lady stole my digital camera! I confronted her about this only to be threatened with my life.
- Also Known As:
- Ashley's Inn St. Lucia/Gros Islet
This place is a hole! Do not stay here... unless you want your stuff stolen! The land lady stole my digital camera! I confronted her about this only to be threatened with my life.
Totally outrageous hotel which is located in the bush, on top of a steep hill, with no lights and such a bad road that my 4x4 could not cope.
Service was terrible. Box rooms with cockroaches and no hot water unless its 12am. Poor hygiene, bedsheets and towels changed every three days, even upon request.
Rude Landlady that goes through your room when you leave and your belongings! Complains about leaving the fan on, or charging your phone, even though you are paying a steep price for a poor room.
One to avoid, much better hotels in Rodney Bay and Castries!
Very Disappointing. Their website [-] depicts a picturesque hotel, infact it is nothing like the pictures. The room (at the rate i paid) was very small. no space to put my suitcase!! room smells, shower only drips as there is no pump!!
(explanation by owner - "this is because we are on a mountain")
the landlady is very rude. you have to open and close the gates to enter the premises at 8pm! just so the landlady can sleep?!!
the hotel is on a very steep hill. the road leading to it is very bumpy and normal cars would be unable to drive on them! luckily we had a jeep.
the bed has no mattress springs. so expect to wake up with a saw back. very noisy outside as the windows cannot shut. no mosquito nets provided if requested. expected there to be no fresh towels for at least 4 days - before the landlady gives you one. sink blocks etc etc etc.
the owner insists we switch everything off before we leave the room everyday! she even called my relatives back home because i left the shower dripping. oh yes and i forget..... if you are non st. lucian then expect to be treated as such!
AVOID at all costs. there are many other places that charge similar rates even cheaper rates that are 10 times better.

Thanks a lot for your comments.
I couldn't find a single reference to an accident in the first 30 google results.
May be I had to use "escalator" instead of "stairs", well, I meant the classical thing available in malls and most places, not those in houses.
She was wearing a classical scholar shoe but instead of a clip they had velcro, we think that helped her to get the foot out the shoe in a single pull.

High Druid | What Age Were You? What age were you when you first recall reading a real SFF Book, doesn't have to be an epic like LOTR it could be something as small as Harry Harrisons Deathworld. But it's the first time you remember reading it and what age do you think its right to start reading these books? I believe I started at about 9 with The Hobbit, and although this is meant as a children's book anyway I don't refer to it as so. I think I should have started earlier, I could read very well before then anyway, I loved reading as a kid as much as I do now. I've just started my son off with "The Colour Of Magic" and he's 6. He struggles with only the most difficult of words and in my opinion does better than a lot of adults i've heard. The way we do it is I use it as a bedtime story, he reads a couple of pages then I read him a few pages before he sleeps and he loves it. Do you think this is a good age to start him on the genre? |

| Re: What Age Were You? I read Arthur C Clark's Islands in the Sky when I was about 8, as for a good age well as long as they enjoy the story I don't think you can start to soon. At the moment I am reading my daughters The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton which is the first Faraway Tree story when that is finished I have Alice in wonderland for them, which to me is a Fantasy book. |

Pretentious Avatar Alert. | Re: What Age Were You? When I was 8ish-9ish, my Mum and me took it in turns to read The Hobbit. When I was 12-13 I got Nineteen Eighty Four from the school library and read it twice in a row. I told my best made to get it only to discover the PTA had removed it from the library due to it being 'unsuitable'. Something snapped in me that day and I've never been the same since... |

| Re: What Age Were You? I was 7 or 8, and read a children's fantasy called My Father's Dragon (which is the first in a series, but I didn't know that at the time) by Ruth Stiles Gannett. The other two in the series are Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland, but I haven't read them. It is a Newbery Honour Book and listed as a Notable Book by the American Library Association. Great for kids around 7 or 8 to read, and it is still in print, I think. It is the first proper novel I ever read (and I stole it from my sister. Hah!) Here's the cover: My Father's Dragon |

| Re: What Age Were You? All my childhood fantasy memories are a big jumble in my head. I was a reading machine as a child, but then teenage apathy kicked in and my love of doin' stuff dwindled...I think I remember being read Enid Blyton (Faraway Tree) at 4-5, otherwise it would probably be Narnia at around 7 or 8. |

pixie druid | Re: What Age Were You? Around 3 for Faraway Tree/ Wishing Chair, Enid Blyton, about 6 for Mary Norton's Borrowers, my first memory of reading exracts of Gullivers Travels was around 7 same with Narina Then I entered a fantasy wilderness for a few year. Although Horror and supernatural/ occult still feaured quite highly on my reading list |

Mad Mountain Man | Re: What Age Were You? My mum was an SF reader (more fantasy now) and she started me on some Heinlein when I was maybe 9ish. Can't remember back that far too accurately . When I was 16 my despairing English teacher started to give me John Wyndham which I think is what really got me going. |

| Re: What Age Were You? I was 21 in 2003 when i first read SFF The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy omnibus when i was taking daily train trips to school. My first real,not comic SF was Foundation and my first fantasy Salvatore's Demon Awakens which was rubbish to say the least. I never read as a kid, when i was a kid books didnt exist i was in refugee camps. That explains why im such an avid reader now,im 15 years behind the regular SFF reader and trying to catch up |

| Re: What Age Were You? Just feeling a little monochromatic at the moment... Ahem... My first SF books, on further delving into the distant past, were the Spectrum anthologies edited by Kingsley Amis and Robert Conquest - I'd just discovered the yellow covers of Gollancz SF, and these were all together on the library shelf. I didn't understand half the stories, but boy, did they set my brain buzzing... |

resident pedantissimo | Re: What Age Were You? The revelation struck when I was nine. Oh I'd probably read the Narnia books, but I was reading my way through a load of Swallows and Amazons type stuff, when I went down with one of the childhood illnesses: chicken pox, or measles or mumps, something like that, and was confined to bed to prevent me from spreading it over the entire juvenile population. My grandparents, worn by having to go twice a day to the public library, thought "This'll slow him down" and gave me Arthur C, Clarke's 'Earthlight'. The beginning of the end, although it wasn't for another five years I noticed there was an error in the physics, and wrote him a letter explaining it was wrong… Which he graciously admitted. |

Seattle-based coffee chain lures caffeine addicts with upscale roasts, caramel frappuccinos, shaken iced teas and an extra shot of trendiness. – In Short
For many, getting their daily jolt of java has become a daily morning ritual, and the cardboard cup with its infamous green label is the close companion of every coffee aficionado. Busy baristas work seamlessly behind the bar, juggling orders for their strongly-brewed drips and signature hot and cool beverages. While providing a wide selection of coffee specialties, pastries and various coffee related goods, patrons are invited to settle down in comfy armchairs and enjoy their favorite brews amid the chatter of the laidback yet caffeinated crowd.
Avoid it!! – As far as Starbucks coffeehouses go, it could be the best, but if fails for several reasons.
It is a very large Starbucks with nice setup, however, the enjoyment of a relaxing visit is ruined by noise, loud people, cold temperatures, undesirable clientele who hang inside and out. I have gone there at different times of day and year and found the following to be consistent.
The place is LOUD and NOISY. Caters to the young, wild life that hang out there, instead of taming them into following courteous clientele with some rules of behavior. Strange characters hang outside.
Wireless is expensive to buy.
VERY COLD inside.
For the price that you pay for a Starbucks coffee, I expect a better atmosphere. Go to Bucks County Coffeehouse around the corner on 22 N. Main St. Far better choice all around.
Go to El Cactus Instead! – Strawberry and creme frozen drink gave me a stomach ache for hours. Plus, to make it worse, I found out later that I consumed most of my daily calorie intake with that dumb drink. Go to El Cactus instead! That place is excellent.
for a $5 coffee, I can't get free wifi? – Multi-million dollar Co. making 300% profit on a cup and can't provide the wi-fi? that sucks; go elsewhere!
Boxes everywhere to greet you as you walk in and ONE outlet for the PC!!

Archived Story
Superstorm volunteers deployed [UPDATED]
Published 11:12am Thursday, November 1, 2012 Updated 11:18am Thursday, November 1, 2012A couple from Fergus Falls are no strangers to disaster.
Sonja and Rich Johnson were on ground zero for hurricanes Katrina and Rita helping to rebuild homes. When the call came from the American Red Cross for help with Superstorm Sandy relief, they did not hesitate to offer assistance.
"We'll be driving an Emergency Response Vehicle from Fargo to New Jersey," said Rich. "This time we'll be distributing food, water and comfort kits to people who are affected by the storm, and go wherever we are needed."
The Johnsons are a picture of regular folks doing extraordinary work. Rich is a former Otter Tail Power employee. Sonja worked in banks and with local schools. Though they have gone through Red Cross screening and training, they say the biggest pre-requisite is a desire to help.
"We always said when we retire we will volunteer," said Sonja. "I can't explain the rewards we feel- people are so appreciative of the help."
Previously the couple volunteered through Crossroads Church to help with Hurricane Katrina relief, and traveled to New Orleans at their own expense to work on constructing and repairing homes.
"We brought several handmade quilts from the church," said Sonja.
"I'm a tough guy, but seeing an old lady clutching one of those quilts after she had lost everything was very touching," said Rich. "Volunteer. Especially if you are retired, have your health and have time."
"People have all kinds of skills that are helpful in a disaster," said Sonja. "Administrative, counseling, or even if you are just good with your hands like us."
For information on helping those in need through the Red Cross, go to www.redcross.org.

Family Dog Rescued in Moodus Fire
In complete darkness with the back of his hair starting to catch on fire, Mark J. Favreau tucked one of the family dogs under his arm and got out of the burning home just in time.
On Saturday, May 26, the Favreau family home was destroyed in a fire.
Four family members were in the home at the time of the blaze and were able to get out, including the two family dogs. The smaller dog, KC, however, required the help of a loving family member to bring her to safety.
KC was unable to be located when the house initially caught fire. At the last minute, with one of the bedrooms already ablaze, Mark J. Favreau discovered her hiding under one of the beds. As the fire traveled across the bedroom ceiling, he grabbed her and put her under his arm and attempted to run out of the room.
Within seconds, what is known as a "flashover" took place and the room filled with fire and black smoke, plunging them into complete darkness.
"As I was trying to exit the room, I could feel the hair on the back of my head starting to catch on fire. I was thankfully very lucky to be able to get myself and KC out safely, though. Both of my dogs are incredibly important to me," Favreau said.
The family's other dog, Madeline, was already safely out of the home at that time.
Favreau is a trained firefighter and a member of the Chester Hose Company in Chester, who were among the crews that responded to the fire. In addition to Chester, fire crews from East Haddam, Colchester, Haddam, Haddam Neck, Lyme and East Hampton responded to the fire and battled the flames for nearly an hour and a half.
The homeowner, Mark Favreau, was transported to the hospital with chest pains and his son, Mark J. Favreau was brought to Marlborough Clinic for evaluation due to severe anxiety symptoms and a possible panic attack. Both were released from the hospital by the following day.
The fire started in the den area of the home and quickly spread to the attic. According to the Favreau's, it has been confirmed that the cause of the fire was, in fact, the result of a lightning strike. One of the lightning rods on the roof malfunctioned for unknown reasons, and an electrical "back feed" or surge occurred and traveled throughout the circuits in the house, igniting the fire.

- Fit Note: Lash Adjuster When changing valve lifters, it is recommended that the lifters are allowed to "settle/seat" for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow excess oil to drain. If this recommendation is not followed, some valves will make contact with the piston, resulting in the valve to break at the collet groove. It is als o ideal if the engine is allowed to rest over night before starting the eng ine for the first time. If possible, the engine should be hand cranked or turned by hand the first time.

3. Monitor your progress.
Every few days, or weekly at the very least, check in with how you're doing. Tracking goals in a planner and keeping a journal were two of the methods cited as being most helpful, according to FC survey respondents. You may also enlist a buddy who can keep you accountable. Just don't get down on yourself if you falter. "Be forgiving when you don't perform up to your expectations," says Danine Fruge, MD, associate medical director and women's health director at Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa in Miami.
4. Jump "back on the horse" immediately.
If you find that you've slipped from your plan, get back in the game immediately. "Don't wait until Monday to start again," says Fruge. Monday, after all, rarely comes for most people. Instead, reintroduce the new habit as soon as possible to avoid developing unhealthy, guilty emotions. Then take time to recognize your progress, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
5. Reward yourself.
Treat yourself for meeting goals, even small ones, says Carol Arvon, PhD, director of behavioral health and wellness at Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa in Miami. For instance, if you've committed to walking two or three times a week to improve long-term health, promise yourself a reward, such as a new workout top or mini-makeover, at the end of the week. Even better? Have a special reward in mind for when you reach your final goal, says Hoff.
Now that you know how to strengthen your resolve, here are refined sticking points for the most popular resolutions:
