Granville Island's charming public market overflows with fresh produce, breads, seafood and a bounty of other goods is reason enough to visit Granville Island.

Carleton H. GriffinChairman of the Board, Touche Ross & Co., 1974 – 1982 |
Carl Griffin was Chairman of the Board of Touche Ross & Co. from 1974 – 1982. He was a member of the International Board for several years, and served the firm also as National Tax Director, National Director of Operations, and Regional Partner. While Chairman, he oversaw the firm's litigation activities, working closely with in-house legal counsel. He also gave a lot of attention to concerns of individual partners, and in time became known to many as "the partners' partner."
He had an academic bent from the beginning of his career, in part a result of his military service during the Korean War, when he taught accounting subjects at the Army Finance School. Then, during his very early years with the firm, he had an article published in the AICPA's Journal of Accountancy. From those beginnings began an extra-curricular career of speaking, teaching, and published writings that he found very fulfilling.
So when his days as Chairman had ended, it was a natural development, in 1985, to take early retirement from the firm and seek a second career in the academic world. That led to an appointment as Professor of Accounting at his alma mater, where he taught tax and accounting subjects for over ten years. "I never worked so hard in my life as I did then," he says, "but it was a wonderful way to cap a long career in public accounting."
He holds B.B.A., M.B.A. and Juris Doctor degrees, all from the University of Michigan.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In Suzanne Selfors' "Mad Love," when Seattle resident Alice Amorous' author mother, the Queen of Romance, is sent to a mental hospital, Alice is forced to lie for her. She becomes the Queen of Romance, stepping in for her mother at book signings and making everyone think everything is fine.
But things aren't easy. The publishing company wants a new book, and it's up to Alice to write it.
When a mysterious boy named Errol starts following her and telling her he's Cupid, Alice is naturally freaked out. He wants her to write his love story. After deep consideration, Alice decides that's how she can get the next book. Using his story will be easy<t40>...<t$>won't it?
Secrets about Cupid are revealed, but nothing is what it seems. Nothing has the fairytale ending that Alice wants. Fate steps in, altering her decisions. Reality hits her at an immeasurable pace. Nothing seems right for this 16-year-old.
When Alice realizes one of Errol's secrets might jeopardize his story and her only chance at saving her mother's title, she must deal with reality. She can't think of her love life. She has to do anything she can to help Errol regardless of whether she believes he is Cupid or not.
Lies and secrets become too much for Alice, but she buckles down. She fights harder than ever for her mother and her new inspiration, Errol.
When Errol intrudes on her "almost relationship" with a boy named Tony, she finally starts to believe that he really is Cupid. However, by the time she decides it might be true, it might be too late for Errol. It might be too late for the book that could save her mother's career.
"Happiness is sweetest when shared" is a quote from the author, Suzanne Selfors, who also wrote the books "Coffeehouse Angel" and "Saving Juliet." She shares happiness -- and other feelings -- with her readers. Emotions flow throughout her books.
Selfors has a way of pulling her readers in. Her writing may touch your heart, and her books are often tearjerkers that you can't stop reading. She may leave you stunned by her stories' outcomes.
"Mad Love" is definitely a tearjerker. It gets to your heart and will most likely leave you questioning what you believe about Cupid. It might just give you a chill, too.
This heart-wrenching novel is a must-read that keeps you on edge until the last word. When you get to the end, it leaves you wanting more. I highly recommended this novel for young adults.

Exactly as described! October 01, 2013"So happy with this rug! This is my first jute rug ever and my first purchase from Natural Area Rugs. The pic and rug description are accurate: it's soft on our feet, true to size, and beautiful! It's still relatively new, so I can't speak to how it will wear, but it is well made. We have it in our 450 sq. ft. studio cabin, so it is in our bedroom/living room. We live in the desert. It doesn't show dirt and vacuums well. It's just a great rug."

It's entirely comfortable on the feet! I was concerned that my cat would be too attracted to it, use it as a scratching post or chew on it (she likes textures) but so far, so good.

Message boards : SETI@home Science : My Seti@home software seems stuck
My Seti@home software has been analyzing the same packet of data for several days now and is stuck at 14% done. Astro-pulse is the software running. I went to the BOINC manager and it does not indicate any problems but it does indicate that it has been analyzing the same block of data for over 77 hours. Usually my computer takes between 8 and 12 hours on one block. Is there a way I can terminate this run and get a new batch? ____________ Bob DeWoody
You can always abort a task. ____________
Thanks Tullio, I had forgotten about that option. It is working on a new batch of data now and everything seems fine. ____________ Bob DeWoody

Comments about BLUE GLOW CLIP ON EARRINGS:
I bought these earrings to wear to a concert. They all glowed nice a bright and worked so perfectly. I did have to bend the top a little bit to make it so they weren't so tight and that made them fall off more easily, although we were very active and dancing alot. That wouldn't have been a problem because they were very easy to spot when dropped, but the backs kept falling off the earrings themselves. Otherwise though, perfect product. So much fun!

Accommodation & Rates
Hotel Christiania is a two star rated hotel but offers an awful lot more than you might expect.
All of the bedrooms are comfortably furnished and all have bath or shower facilities, direct dial telephone, flat screen televisions and sleep from two to five.
The public areas include a bar and lounge area with log fire, a separate lounge area with television and books, a small area for the kids, a sauna, outdoor hot tub and a ski and boot room only ten metres from the slopes!
And then there's the restaurant... and it is safe to say that it is not two star experience. The Hotel Christiania prides itself on the quality of the menus and meals produced from the canapes, through starter, main course, selections of cheeses and finally sweet and coffee.
If you've visited the hotel before for a ski trip you will recognise all of the above but
Refurbished last season there is no better place to enjoy an après ski beer or aperitif than in our welcoming and comfortable fireside bar. The large open fireplace coupled with the first class service you will receive from our friendly staff creates the sociable atmosphere we are proud of. A large roll down cinema screen is also available at certain times for watching DVD's or sporting events.
We also have a quieter reading / coffee lounge with comfortable sofa seating and views of the piste.
A selection of music and board games are also available.

CUSHING, Oklahoma - The American Red Cross is receiving a new gift for the new year to help Oklahomans in need.
The Safety Alliance of Cushing has donated a new Disaster Response Trailer to the organization to help volunteers quickly respond to emergencies and disasters across the state. Plains All American Pipeline also donated a 2006 pickup truck.
The donation was made after the Red Cross responded to several wildfires in August 2012.
Shawn Roberts, who is a manager at Plains All American, noticed the disaster relief organization was in need of additional response vehicles during the fires, and worked with the SAC to make the donations possible.
Roberts also serves as the 2012 Chairman of the Safety Alliance of Cushing.
The new trailer will be used by volunteers who respond to home fires and other events that require food, shelter and comfort for first responders and all those affected by disasters.
"We thank Shawn Roberts, SAC and Plains All American Pipeline for providing this generous donation to the American Red Cross so that we may continue to serve our communities to the absolute best of our abilities during times of disaster large and small," Red Cross Disaster Services Specialist Jennifer Young said.
"We can't thank them enough for investing in the individuals, families and first responders of our communities."
The American Red Cross spent much of 2012 helping people all across the country whose lives were impacted by disasters. Relief efforts were launched in response to 113 large scale disasters in 42 states and territories between January 1 and December 1.
In the Central and Western Oklahoma Region, the Red Cross launched relief operations after a tornado in Woodward and wildfires in Noble, Luther, Glencoe and Creek County. The Red Cross responded to both operations by opening shelters and comfort kits for families. They provided drinks, snacks and meals to the community and first responders.
Volunteers worked with partner agencies to help families get back on their feet by providing the means to get clothing, shelter, food and other emergency relief items. While these were the two major operations, Red Cross volunteers responded to a number of grass fires, house fires and apartment fires across the region in the last year.
"These disasters affected many people's lives here in Central and Western Oklahoma," said regional CEO Janienne Bella. "Red Cross workers from both here at home and across the country worked tirelessly to make sure people had a safe place to stay, food to eat, and help getting their lives back on track."

An alphabet is a finite set of symbols. A word of length over an alphabet is a sequence of symbols from , i.e.,
Alternatively, we can view a word of length over the alphabet as an -tuple (i.e., an ordered list with elements) over , i.e., . The set of all finite words over , including the empty word , is denoted by , where is the Kleene star.
We thus encounter the following problem:
Problem: Given an alphabet , how do we generate all the words over ? In other words, given , how do we generate the Kleene closure ?
The following Haskell script solves this problem:
g :: [a] -> [[a]] -> [[a]] g alphabet = concat . map (\xs -> [ xs ++ [s] | s <- alphabet]) allwords :: [a] -> [[a]] allwords alphabet = concat $ iterate (g alphabet) [[]]
where alphabet must be a finite list, otherwise the execution of the script won't ever terminate. The script above, although short, uses a lot of machinery: list comprehension, higher-order functions map and iterate, concatenation of lists of lists, and partial function application. Let us test this script. First, we load it into GHCi. Then we can run a GHCi session:
*Main> -- define alphabet *Main> let alphabet = [0,1] *Main> -- define function f *Main> let f = g alphabet *Main> -- check type *Main> :t f f :: [[Integer]] -> [[Integer]] *Main> -- apply f to several lists of lists *Main> f [[]] [[0],[1]] *Main> (f . f) [[]] [[0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[1,1]] *Main> (f . f . f) [[]] [[0,0,0],[0,0,1],[0,1,0],[0,1,1],[1,0,0],[1,0,1],[1,1,0],[1,1,1]]
So far, so good. Suppose that we would like to find all words over alphabet whose length is less than or equal to . How many such words are there? There are words of length . Hence, there are
binary words of length less than or equal to . Hence, if we make , then we obtain . Continuing our GHCi session:
*Main> take 31 $ allwords alphabet [[],[0],[1], [0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[1,1], [0,0,0],[0,0,1],[0,1,0],[0,1,1], [1,0,0],[1,0,1],[1,1,0],[1,1,1], [0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,1],[0,0,1,0],[0,0,1,1], [0,1,0,0],[0,1,0,1],[0,1,1,0],[0,1,1,1], [1,0,0,0],[1,0,0,1],[1,0,1,0],[1,0,1,1], [1,1,0,0],[1,1,0,1],[1,1,1,0],[1,1,1,1]]
Very nice! We could use this in Coding Theory! For example, suppose that we would like to find all binary words of length whose Hamming weight is equal to . There are
such words. We can find them as follows:
*Main> -- take all words of length less than or equal to 8 *Main> let words = take 511 $ allwords alphabet *Main> -- filter out binary words of length 8 *Main> let wordsL8 = filter (\xs -> length xs == 8) words *Main> length wordsL8 256 *Main> -- filter out binary words of length 8 *Main> -- and also of Hamming weight equal to 5 *Main> let wordsL8H5 = filter (\xs -> sum xs == 5) wordsL8 *Main> length wordsL8H5 56 *Main> wordsL8H5 [[0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1],[0,0,1,0,1,1,1,1],[0,0,1,1,0,1,1,1], [0,0,1,1,1,0,1,1],[0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1],[0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0], [0,1,0,0,1,1,1,1],[0,1,0,1,0,1,1,1],[0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1], [0,1,0,1,1,1,0,1],[0,1,0,1,1,1,1,0],[0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1], [0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1],[0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1],[0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0], [0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1],[0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1],[0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0], [0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1],[0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0],[0,1,1,1,1,1,0,0], [1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1],[1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1],[1,0,0,1,1,0,1,1], [1,0,0,1,1,1,0,1],[1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0],[1,0,1,0,0,1,1,1], [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1],[1,0,1,0,1,1,0,1],[1,0,1,0,1,1,1,0], [1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1],[1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1],[1,0,1,1,0,1,1,0], [1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1],[1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0],[1,0,1,1,1,1,0,0], [1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1],[1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1],[1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1], [1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0],[1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1],[1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1], [1,1,0,1,0,1,1,0],[1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1],[1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0], [1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0],[1,1,1,0,0,0,1,1],[1,1,1,0,0,1,0,1], [1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0],[1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1],[1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0], [1,1,1,0,1,1,0,0],[1,1,1,1,0,0,0,1],[1,1,1,1,0,0,1,0], [1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0],[1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0]]

The Revere Golf Club celebrates the legacy of the Revolutionary War hero with two 18-hole championship golf courses that extend for more than 7,000 yards apiece through the desert canyons of the Las Vegas valley. Players drink in the scenery as they take on the Lexington course, opened in 1999 on the same date Paul Revere made his famous ride, or the Concord course, opened in 2002 on the same date Paul Revere discovered text messaging. Each layout was carved into the rugged terrain by Casper Nash & Associates, the prolific design team of Greg Nash and 51-time PGA tour winner Billy Casper.
Once visitors have holed out on either 18th green, they can take to the 23,000-square-foot clubhouse. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows span the entire north side of the facility, allowing for magnificent views of the course and the Las Vegas strip from Buckman's Grille. Diners enjoy breakfast and lunch options amid Revolution-era ambiance, complete with lanterns that shine overhead and signal whether to order surf or turf.

Within each noncompetitive Curves facility, female fitness seekers are invited to move through a 30-minute circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that are designed to promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. Shunning cumbersome weight stacks, the hydraulic gadgets adapt to each exerciser's body weight and fitness level to complement her individual abilities, subsequently decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. And because traditional lift-and-lower motions tend to create bulky muscles, the machines promote push-and-pull movements to sculpt toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing unsuspecting grapefruit. Experienced trainers are always nearby to help clients manage their machine maneuvering, and a soundtrack of fun, upbeat music includes cues to let women know when it's time to move on to the next station or break for an air viola solo.

Breakfast in bed is when one wakes up next to (or happens to come upon) a sleeping lady companion and proceeds to perform cunnilingus on her. This is a gennerally appreciated method of being woken up. The phrase makes allusions to the term "eating out" as the person performing the oral ministrations is having, euphemisticaly, their first meal of the day in bed. In this case the meal happens to be a woman's genetalia and there is still a need to eat breakfast afterward.
This is similar to, but differs in key ways from, a mongoose.

Since moving to Chicago, I've been a fairly devoted Giordano's fan, but I only order their thin-crust. (I think it's something about their blend of cheeses. There seems to be a lot of Provolone in there, which helps satisfy my craving for 300% of my recommended daily sodium allowance in a single meal.) However, Giordano's has a few shortcomings. First, delivery time for any type of pizza—even thin crust—is always one hour. Second, Giordano's prices are enough to make a normal gay man balk, let alone the cheapest gay man in America.
I've been meaning to give Domino's new recipe a try if only to reward them for their painfully honest new ad campaign that addresses the company's long-standing reputation for producing America's most forgettable pizza. So, when I saw a commercial last night promising two two-topping medium pizzas for $5.99 each, I was on dominos.com placing my order faster than you can say, "Gosh, this special was really meant for a family of four, but I did six minutes of uninterrupted aerobic exercise today and I deserve an entire medium pizza with double pepperoni."
As you may have guessed from the title of this post, the pizza was pretty good. Good enough to order again, but not so amazing that I don't still wish I had a Papa John's a little closer to home. (You can take the boy out of the South…) The best part was the new and improved crust. It included a mix of Parmesan cheese and herbs that definitely merited finger licking. The sauce was better than I remember it being in the past and my significant other thought the whole package was a huge improvement. I still have a few reservations, primarily because I'm not a big fan of hand-tossed crust. I'm not sure if it's always so soft and doughy everywhere, but it was definitely not crispy on the bottom. Also, the boxes were already grease-stained when they arrived and by the end of the night, they looked like the scene of some kind of gory grease murder-suicide.
I have to say that Domino's deserves a standing ovation for is its online ordering experience. The interface design was great, and it featured a final screen that showed the status of your order. This screen featured several stages, with the current stage illuminated. Stage one showed that the order was being prepared and included the name of the person making the pizza. Stage two showed that the pizza was baking. Stage three showed it was undergoing a rigorous quality check. Stage four showed that the pizza was out for delivery and included the name of the driver and exact time it was moved to car. The final stage confirmed the pizza had been delivered. Initially, I was a bit freaked out when the pizza hadn't arrived and the stage-five light blinked on and displayed a message stating, "Your pizza has arrived. We hope you're enjoying your meal!" But, before I could call Domino's and scream in a panic that my pizza had been stolen, the driver was at the door. Now if they could just embed a small, edible GPS in every pizza and allow me to track its progress on Google Maps, I could stop leaving the house altogether.
