Everyone deserves an Oscar nom
Lord knows I've had my complaints about the Oscars over the years but lately I've begun to have more complaints about Oscar's complainers. A recent "Must List" in Entertainment Weekly is indicative. They subtitled it "Snubbed by Oscar Edition" and listed off 10 of the snubbees, including two for best actress (Keri Russell for Waitress, Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart), two for best actor (Christian Bale for Rescue Dawn and Ryan Gosling for Lars and the Girl) and two for best director (Joe Wright for Atonement and Sean Penn for Into the Wild).
All fine. But you're not dealing with an infinite number of spaces here. So if you're going to say Wright and Penn both deserve director nods, tell us who didn't deserve them. Julian Schnabel? Jason Reitman? Tony Gilroy? Angelina Jolie was great. So choose her over who? Ellen Page? Cate Blanchett? And really? Christian Bale and/or Ryan Gosling over Tommy Lee Jones or Viggo Mortensen or Johnny Depp or George Clooney or Daniel Day-Lewis? If you're adding, you gotta subtract. If you're going to bitch about the Academy, you've gotta play within their parameters. Otherwise we're back to grade school and everyone deserves a gold star.
And that's my first petty bitching about other people's petty bitching.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 1:39 p.m. Friday, July 29, 2011
By Jamie Dupree
A day after failing to approve a debt limit bill backed by House Speaker John Boehner, Republicans in the House rallied behind changes to that measure, determined to approve it Friday night and send it on to the Senate.
The changes in the Republican plan center around a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, which the GOP wants to be approved by the Congress and sent to the states for ratification before a second increase in the debt limit is authorized.
While Democrats scoffed at the change, for Speaker John Boehner, it seemed to move a number of votes into the 'Yes' column for Republicans.
"I couldn't be happier with giving him my 'Yes' vote today," said Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), who had been solidly opposed to his party's debt limit bills, arguing for a link to a balanced budget amendment.
"That's the only way going forward that we can bind the hands of future members of Congress," said Gingrey.
As of now, the plan is for the House to vote late Friday and send that bill to the Senate; it wasn't immediately clear how Senate Democrats would deal with the plan in terms of parliamentary procedure.
One plan would set up a test vote at 1:01 am on Sunday morning, with a final Senate vote at 7:30 am on Monday. Then the bill would go back to the House for a final vote just before the August 2 deadline.
Another plan would have Democrats use a separate bill, giving them more time this weekend to negotiate and finalize a plan.
All of that was in flux.
It means that at some point this weekend, Senate leaders of both parties will have to agree to a package of changes, which seems certain to lead to a weekend of negotiations.
All of it would lead to some white knuckle talks, right up against the deadline for action on the debt limit.
Lastly, the Congressional Budget Office put out an interesting piece of information today, as it reviewed the differences between plans from Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Reid.
If you take out savings from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from the Reid plan, and focus just on how much spending caps in those proposals would save, there is only a $5 billion difference over 10 years.
You read that right.
Boehner's plan would save $756 billion over 10 years; Reid's plan would save $751 billion over 10 years. Obviously the two parties might make those cuts in different plances in the budget - but the broader numbers aren't very far apart.

If it talks like a duck, it might be this voice changer
Given how awful cell phone reception is in our area, it's doubtful that anyone would need a voice changer when conversations often sound like they're under water as it is. But outfits like Spyville never saw a situation that couldn't be subjected to some form of amateur espionage.
That must be why they thought up the Cell Phone Voice Changer, which is pretty much self-explanatory. We do admit that the choice of disguises did catch us off guard: "a duck, child, old man, or a robot," as related by OhGizmo.

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
Does the bike come with both a freewheel and fixed gear cog like in the description?Does it come with a front brake?
That said, I am concerned that the 'medium' size of this model may be too small. I am determined to purchase a machine with exactly the correct spec in all aspects and I don't want to compromise this quest by something as vital as sizing.
Bear in mind this isn't a road bike so the frame isn't going to fit like one. If you are planning on doing tricks and the like, you will need a smaller frame anyway but you will find that the bike is designed to have a larger degree of standover height (hence the sloping top tube design) than a 'normal' road type fixed gear.
Don't forget you can fine tune sizing anyway but changing the stem or setting back the seat if necessary - although you might change the bike characteristics a bit if you do.
My son is about 5 foot - will the small still be too big for him ( although i suspect he will grow into it )
Can you tell if and what type bottom bracket would be compatible? For example an English tapered?

It was a quiet Saturday morning this morning. Two kids are up in the mountains this weekend with their youth group, and although I miss them, the house is much more calm and quiet with only two kids here. Hubby left for work early, and I had a few minutes to snuggle up in my covers with flickr, seeking Valentine's Day inspiration. Although the tree has been taken down and hauled to the curb, it is still Christmas everywhere else in my house. I like to put Valentine's Day up when Christmas comes down so I am gearing up for just that. If I see enough photos of old vintage valentines, candy, pink and red felt hearts, and other creative projects by the many talented people out there in the world of blogs, etc.....surely I will have enough inspiration and motivation to get out of bed and spend the few hours it is going to take to pack the rest of Christmas up and put all the pretties out for Valentine's Day!! right? I hope so.

What is ICCVAM's Mission?
ICCVAM's mission is to promote the development, validation, and regulatory acceptance of new, revised, and alternative regulatory safety testing methods. Emphasis is on alternative methods that will reduce, refine (less pain and distress), and replace the use of animals in testing while maintaining and promoting scientific quality and the protection of human health, animal health, and the environment.
The ICCVAM Authorization Act of 2000 states that the purposes of ICCVAM are to:
- Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Federal agency test method review
- Eliminate duplication of effort between Federal agencies
- Optimize use of scientific expertise outside the Federal government
- Ensure that new and revised test methods are validated to meet the needs of Federal agencies
- Reduce, refine, and/or replace the use of animals in testing where feasible
To accomplish this, ICCVAM is charged with the following functions:
- Coordinate the technical review and evaluation of new and revised test methods
- Submit ICCVAM test recommendations to appropriate Federal agencies
- Facilitate interagency and international harmonization of test protocols that encourage the reduction, refinement, or replacement of animal test methods
- Facilitate and provide guidance on validation criteria and processes
- Facilitate the acceptance of scientifically valid test methods

What is NICEATM?
NICEATM (pronounced "NIGH-SEA-TUM") stands for the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods). NICEATM is part of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) located in Research Triangle Park, NC.
What does NICEATM do?
NICEATM administers and provides scientific support for ICCVAM, by
- Coordinating and supporting meetings of the ICCVAM and its subcommittees and interagency working groups.
- Evaluating new test method submissions and nominations for their completeness and adherence to ICCVAM guidelines
- Preparing technical review documents to evaluate the validity of new, revised, and alternative methods.
- Working with ICCVAM to organize scientific workshops and independent scientific peer review meetings
- Assembling information about current best practices for the humane care and use of animals in toxicological research and testing
- Facilitating communication among agencies, between agencies and test method developers, and between ICCVAM and its stakeholders
- Conducting independent validation studies on high priority alternative test methods
What is the relationship between NICEATM and ICCVAM?
ICCVAM is an interagency committee that meets several times a year. ICCVAM does not conduct validation studies.
NICEATM is an office within the National Toxicology Program (NTP) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences with dedicated staff and contractor support.
NICEATM provides assistance and coordinates the activities that ICCVAM requires to evaluate and make recommendations regarding new, revised, and alternative test methods.
What is the role of NICEATM and ICCVAM in gaining regulatory acceptance of new and alternative test methods?
NICEATM and ICCVAM assess the validation status of new, revised and alternative safety testing methods to determine their usefulness and limitations for testing purposes. ICCVAM then transmits recommendations to Federal agencies regarding appropriate uses of these methods based on their scientific validity. Each Federal agency then determines whether the test methods are acceptable for their respective programs. Agencies must respond to ICCVAM recommendations within 180 days after receiving them.
New Alternatives to Animal Testing
What are alternative toxicity test methods?
Alternative toxicity test methods are test methods that, reduce, refine or replace animal use in regulatory toxicity testing. Reduction, refinement, and replacement are commonly referred to as "the 3Rs of alternatives". The 3Rs concept was first described by William Russell and Rex Burch in their book, The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique, published in 1959.
What does "refine, reduce, or replace" or the "3Rs," mean in terms of animal use for regulatory toxicity testing?
- A test method that refines animal use lessens or eliminates pain or distress in animals, or enhances animal well-being.
- A test method that reduces animal use decreases the number of animals required for testing while still obtaining the testing objectives.
- A test method that replaces animals substitutes animals with nonanimal systems, or replaces one animal species with a less highly developed one (for example, replacing a mouse with a fish).
- Reduction, refinement and replacement alternatives are commonly referred to as the "3Rs" of alternatives.
Why are animals still used for safety testing?
Consumer products, medicines, and industrial and agricultural chemicals must be adequately tested in order to identify potential health and safety hazards. U.S. regulatory agencies that require or use toxicity test data are responsible for protecting human and animal health and the environment. To carry out this mission, agencies require that all toxicity test methods used for regulatory purposes are based on sound science and are able to adequately identify hazards.
Human and animal responses to toxicants are complex, and difficult to accurately assess using only in vitro systems or computer models. The term in vitro refers to experiments performed in laboratory containers, such as test tubes or petri dishes,with living tissues, organs, or cells obtained from animals or people. No single in vitro test method is currently available to serve all regulatory needs for a specific testing area. Rather, integrated approaches using alternative test methods, conventional animal testing, and other information about the properties of a test substance are used to accurately assess hazards.
Are scientists required to consider alternative methods before they use animals for testing?
Yes, U.S. laws require that alternatives must be considered before using animals for research and testing. These laws are based on the U.S. Government Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals Used in Testing, Research, and Training, which are incorporated in the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees must approve proposed animal use, and ensure that alternatives are being used where appropriate.
Are Federal agencies that use toxicity data required to support the development of alternative test methods?
Yes. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act of 19931 directed NIH to support research to reduce, refine, and replace animal use in biomedical research, and to develop and validate methods that will reduce and replace animals in acute and chronic safety testing. The ICCVAM Authorization Act of 20002, created the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods
(ICCVAM) as a permanent interagency committee to facilitate alternative test method development, validation, and regulatory acceptance. .
Federal agencies view the reduction, refinement and replacement of animal use in toxicity testing as a priority. Both the U.S. National Toxicology Program's (NTP) Roadmap for the 21st Century and the National Research Council's Vision and Strategy of Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century emphasize the goal of ensuring that new and improved test methods reduce, refine, or replace the use of animals where scientifically feasible.
1. Public Law 103-43
2. Public Law 106-545, 42 U.S.C. 285/-3
What will ICCVAM do to promote the use of alternative test methods?
NICEATM and ICCVAM will provide high quality comprehensive test method background review documents and the results of independent scientific peer reviews to support the approval of new, revised, and alternative test methods by regulatory agencies and the international community. Once an alternative test method has been accepted, ICCVAM will work to promote the use of the test method by sponsoring and participating in training workshops and scientific meetings to reach interested stakeholders who may want to use or consider data from the test method.
Stakeholders, Nominations and Outreach
Who are ICCVAM's stakeholders?
ICCVAM's stakeholders are any person or organization that uses, develops or has an interest in toxicological test methods or the data that is generated from toxicological testing. They include:
- U.S. Federal agencies that generate toxicological data
- U.S. Federal agencies that require or use toxicological data
- Agencies within governments of other countries that use or generate toxicological data
- Researchers and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members in companies or research institutions that perform toxicological testing
- Companies that develop toxicological tests for sale
- Animal welfare organizations
- Consumer protection organizations
- The public
How does ICCVAM communicate with its stakeholders?
ICCVAM announces activities and requests input from its stakeholders by publication of notices in the Federal Register, posting announcements on the NICEATM - ICCVAM webpage and sending emails to members of the ICCVAM-all listserv mailing list. ICCVAM also actively participates in national and international meetings by presenting results from their many different review activities.
Who can make test method nominations and submissions?
NICEATM and ICCVAM welcome nominations of relevant new, revised, and alternative test methods from any of its stakeholders, including government agencies, academics, companies developing new test methods, and animal welfare organizations. Test method sponsors are encouraged to consult with NICEATM and ICCVAM throughout the test method research, development, translation, and validation process, as well as during preparation of submissions
How does ICCVAM prioritize test method evaluations?
A sponsor or nominator submits a test method for evaluation to NICEATM following ICCVAM submission guidlines . NICEATM then assesses the completeness and performs a preliminary evaluation of the test method nomination or submission. This evaluation takes into consideration:
- The extent to which the proposed test method applies to the testing needs of regulatory agencies or programs
- The potential for the proposed test method to refine, reduce or replace animal use
- The potential for the proposed test method to improve the prediction of adverse health or environmental effects
- Other advantages offered by the proposed test method, such as reduced cost or performance time
ICCVAM reviews the NICEATM preliminary evaluation and makes draft recommendations regarding evaluation activities to be carried out and their priority. Draft recommendations are made available to SACATM and the public for comment.
How are alternative test methods evaluated to determine whether they are valid for use?
They are studied to determine their usefulness and limitations for a specific proposed purpose. This involves validation studies to assess their reliability and relevance. Reliability is the degree to which a test method can be performed reproducibly within and among laboratories over time. Relevance is the extent to which a test method correctly predicts or measures the biological effect of interest in humans or another species of interest. Test methods need to be sufficiently relevant and reliable in order to be used for safety testing.
Progress, Plans, Reports and Outreach
What has ICCVAM accomplished in the last 10 years?
ICCVAM has evaluated 212 test methods in the areas of acute oral toxicity, biologics testing, developmental toxicity (birth defects), endocrine disruptors, eye corrosion and irritation, pyrogenicity, skin corrosion and allergic contact dermatitis. In each of these areas, ICCVAM's evaluation has included a review of the usefulness and limitations of the test method, and making recommendations about current uses, further validation studies, or further development of the test method. ICCVAM recommendations to Federal agencies have resulted or will result in the reduction, refinement and replacement of animal use in the areas of acute oral toxicity, eye corrosion and irritation, skin corrosion, and skin sensitization.
How has ICCVAM's work reduced, refined or replaced animal use in toxicology testing?
ICCVAM's recommendations to Federal agencies include:
- Changing the standard animal tests used to assess acute oral systemic toxicity (poisoning) to reduce the number of animals used for this purpose by over 70%
- Using toxicity assays employing cultured cells to set starting doses for the standard animal tests for acute oral systemic toxicity testing, in order to further reduce the number of animals required for each test.
- Using cellular models that simulate human skin to assess the potential of acids, bases and acid derivatives to cause chemical burns (corrosion) to skin
- Replacing a guinea pig test to assess the potential of substances to cause allergic contact dermatitis with a mouse method that uses fewer animals and refines the test method to eliminate pain and distress
- Using assays employing tissue from isolated cow or chicken eyes to screen chemicals and products for their potential to cause blindness or other severe eye injuries, rather than performing these tests on live animals; positive substances do not require testing on live animals
These recommendations have reduced the number of animals used for these types of toxicity testing, refined animal use to lessen or avoid animal pain and distress, and are expected to further reduce animal use in the future.
When did ICCVAM release its Five-Year Plan?
ICCVAM released its five-year plan at ICCVAM Ten-Year Anniversary Symposium in February 2008.
What testing areas of high priority have NICEATM and ICCVAM identified in the Five-Year Plan?
Using the criteria outlined above, NICEATM and ICCVAM have identified ocular toxicity, dermal toxicity, acute toxicity, and biologics as the highest-priority testing areas for development of new and revised non-animal and other alternative assays. Other priority testing areas include immunotoxicity, endocrine disruptors, pyrogenicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity. Neurotoxicity testing is also an area of interest. While these represent current priorities and interests, ICCVAM and NICEATM recognize that planning must be flexible in order to take advantage of advances in science and technology and to respond to new testing needs.
Does the Five-Year Plan identify emerging technologies that could be utilized to develop new test methods and approaches to reduce, refine or replace animal use in toxicity testing?
Yes. The Plan describes how the following technologies might be used to develop new test methods and approaches to toxicity testing:
- High-throughput screening
- Non-mammalian animal systems
- Computational approaches
- Toxicity biomarkers
- Development of high-quality toxicology databases
Does the Five-Year Plan discuss how ICCVAM can strengthen interactions with its stakeholders?
Yes. The Plan describes ICCVAM's strategy to strengthen interaction with its stakeholders, including:
- Being proactive in identifying research needs and emerging methods that should be priorities for further development, translation, validation or ICCVAM evaluation
- Facilitating collaboration among Federal research and regulatory agencies, including opportunities for test method validation activities
- Collaborating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to co-sponsor workshops to evaluate the state-of-the-science and identify high priority activities to advance development and validation of alternative toxicological test methods
- Fostering international collaboration in the development of international best practices for test method evaluations
- Participating in the development of performance standards for international test guidelines to promote development of innovative improvements to accepted test methods

Dave Arnold, custodian at Brownstown Elementary School, is well known as the "school custodian poet," not only in this area, but also far and wide in the nation's public schools network and associations.
He also is known for his moral standards, sense of humor, generosity and various other gifts and talents, such as woodworking.
Dave's love for his job as the elementary school custodian and his respect, support and understanding for the teachers and school officials is also notable, as is his rapport with the children.
Every year for the past 20 years, Don and Ellie Funk have graciously hosted a favorite, famous and beloved guest in their lakeside home.
He usually appears in the second week of December and stays until he has to return to the North Pole to make his toys and gifts run on Christmas Eve.
He travels light, with few personal items, as he never seems to shave, and always wears the same style of clothing.
However, he does bring reindeer along with him, for which the Funks have graciously provided a shelter.
To sit in on a casual conversation with Dale "Pete" Burnam and Glen "Whitey" Daniels, one would think the two were highly incompatible.
As they volley insults back and forth, however, it soon becomes clear they actually share a close, brotherly-love-like friendship and have the utmost respect for one another.
When not harassing one another, they are quick with compliments, credits and tributes to the other.
When it was learned that World War II veteran John C. Sefton was honored as a participant of the Central Illinois Honor Flight to Washington D.C., on Oct. 14, a request was made to him for a report of the event.
John modestly, but graciously, agreed to meet in his home in Sefton, which is just across the road from where he was born 85 years ago. John grew up in a two-story house that no longer stands.
Born in Bingham on April 30, 1913, Lucille Fisher has lived a long and fruitful life – fruitful for her friends, her neighbors, her community, the organizations to which she still belongs (and contributes to), and especially her family, which enjoys a closeness, respect and love for one another that is heart-warming to witness.
Herb Woolsey was released from active duty with the Army Infantry in September 1953. However, in early 1954, an armored tank unit in Vandalia needed a company commander, and Woolsey was asked to take the job.
He did and remained with the reserve unit as the commander until June 30, 1985, when it was disbanded. He served 34 years in the service and retired a colonel. An all-American patriot, he is often asked to speak at Memorial Day and Veterans Day events.
When Charlie Durbin was a young boy living on his parents' farm, he knew that he wanted to be a veterinarian. He also knew that he especially wanted to work with cattle.
Last Tuesday evening, Dr. Charlie R. Durbin hosted a community cookout in St.Peter City Park in celebration of 25 years in St. Peter doing just what that little 8-year-old boy dreamed of … and more.
He has served all of Fayette County, including serving 15 years on the Fayette County Fair Board and as the county fair veterinarian, a position he still holds.
Down syndrome is usually described as a congenital defect caused by an extra chromosome, characterized by moderate to severe mental retardation and marked physical traits that are often easily identifiable in the person with the condition.
The above information can be found in medical books and dictionaries. What is not described are the initial heartbreak, struggles and coping of the parents and, especially, the very special gifts the unexpected joys, triumphs, love, sweetness of spirit and affection brought by the child with Down syndrome.
When U.S. Navy veteran, Robyn Pontious, learned of the need for guardians to travel with World War II veterans to visit the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C, she answered the call.
Moreover, she arranged for her sister, Kelly Washburn, to serve also as a guardian.
The enthusiasm the two sisters share over the experience is approached only by the compassion they show for the two veterans' emotional reactions as waiting American citizens met them with respect, displays of gratitude and recognition of their service to their country during WWII.
Leroy "Bud" Taylor has been a "builder" most of his life. The Taylor name has long been synonymous with integrity, honesty and dependability in the business of construction, whether it be a church, houses, businesses or various other jobs handled by Taylor Construction.
"Bud" shares his story, which also proves to be a tribute to his late father, Forrest Taylor, another well-known and respected name in Fayette County.
Meet Bud and Mary Ann Taylor as they welcome us into their lovely Vandalia home.
Bud's Early Memories
One-hundred and five years ago, the World's Fair was in full swing in Forest Park in St. Louis. Some of the amazing facts about that event were: it featured an 18-foot high lighthouse built of pure salt; there were 142 miles of exhibits in the eight main places for people to explore; and 90 million feet of pine was used in constructing the framework for the buildings.
And the same year, 1904, a little girl was born in St. Louis to Ann Gibbons Kupferer, whose parents were emigrants from Ireland, and Charles Andrew Kupferer, whose parents came to this country from Germany.
Fifty years ago, Iris Kruenegel and her friend and neighbor, Carol (then Wasmuth) Fenton, thought it would be fun and relaxing for their friends and neighbors in rural Shobonier to have a "girls only" card club.
Thus, the Country Cousins card club was born.
Several of the original members still meet, along with newer members, for their monthly "girls night out," rotating as hosts for their gatherings.
Tammie Rogers and her husband, Robert, who live and operate their Darn Far Ranch northwest of Brownstown are doing what they love to do best – working with and training dogs…and the dogs' humans.
Sometimes, a really special dog comes along that is needed by a special person. Tammie recently shared this touching story that has a happy, tail-wagging ending. "Bree" is that special dog and Kevin Boston of Greenville the special person.
Last week, the Faulkner family – Rev. Raymond; his wife, Mollie; and daughter, Pricilla – were introduced, as they shared the story of Rev. Raymond's decision to design and build a dream home for his wife, doing all the work himself, with the help of only Priscilla.
Rev. Raymond began the project in 2002, after two years of purchasing and storing all the materials and supplies he would need for the 10-room two-story house, with five bathrooms, a utility room and large balcony.
Approximately nine years ago, the Rev. Raymond P. Faulkner decided to build a house … not a run-of-the-mill house, one designed and drawn on blueprints by a professional. Nor did he want it built by professionals.
He wanted to build the dream house of wife Mollie and daughter Priscilla, with the emphasis on "home," not "house," a "home that love built."
A minister, not a professional carpenter, he set about to accomplish the self-appointed task.
Last Thursday, six 4-H kids and their leaders and escorts visited the Sefton Unit HCE Club, delighting the ladies as they brought and explained their 4-H projects…even "Chad," the rooster, live and in person.
The 4-H program has a record of longevity, as it was founded more than 70 years ago, and still remains a large part of the attractions at county and state fairs.
Gary Smith went to Santa Cru, South America, last year on a construction mission, and the experience opened his eyes about how fortunate Americans are.
"We don't realize how blessed we are. Simple things in South America, like turning on tap water, safe water to drink is not available. We take it for granted," he said.
Tracy Jones decided about 15 years ago that she wanted to be sure her family was eating healthy, nourishing and flavorful foods, so she decided to raise their own food, and process and preserve it herself.
She consulted with her mother – who always canned, as did her mother before her – and began continuing the family tradition.
"I've been canning since I was 20 or 21. My mother, Martha Rambo, taught me," Tracy said.
Lisa Robbins wears more than one hat…and is more than happy to do so.
She loves children and feels she has the best of both worlds, as she teaches kindergarten at Jefferson School during the school year and works with them in the summer as manager of the Vandalia Municipal Swimming Pool.
She will begin her 24th year teaching kindergarten this year, and has worked at the swimming pool for 30 years.
She began working at the pool as a lifeguard.
We often perceive others only on the surface, a part of a group or team, a familiar face expected to be seen in a certain setting, without thought of that person being considered as an individual.

America's Action Territory encourages familial bonding through amusements in session year-round indoors and seasonally outdoors. During warm weather, the park staff operates six outdoor activities, from bumper boats in a 75,000-gallon pool to paintball on a 20,000-square-foot inflatable field. Back inside, kids can enter the smoky, black-lit laser-tag arena to demonstrate who is most deserving of parents' love, or challenge their progenitors to skee-ball at the arcade. Between games, an eatery supplies patrons with refreshments such as sandwiches, chicken strips, and pizzas on crust made without gluten or lasers. It also offers a wine and beer list for adults, as well as free WiFi. For special occasions, Action Territory's team can also arrange birthday parties and organize group packages.
There may be several different structures for thrill-seekers to ascend at Aerial Adventures, but one thing's for certain: they'll find a bird's-eye view waiting for them at the top. If they choose the zipline, they'll soar through the treetops at heights of up to 45 feet. On the ropes course, adventurers clamber up rope ladders and teeter across balance beams, all the while safely attached to a belayer below. Whereas on the climbing towers, guests crawl skyward until they reach a door at the top of the towers for a breathtaking view of the surrounding foliage.
During Milwaukee Winter Fest, visitors of all ages can shake the snow from their sleeves inside a climate-controlled facility filled with festive lights and colorful decorations. There they can play in more than 50 attractions including inflated fun zones, carnival rides, and a 240-foot indoor zipline. Singers and musical acts take to the stage during scheduled events to inspire impromptu dance parties and prove once and for all that guitars can be used for more than just housing herb gardens.
On Saturday, September 22, Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett will gather local businesses, community leaders, and citizens between the two bridge houses of the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge. There, he will ceremonially raise its steel structure and announce a mission to revitalize the street. Following the ceremony, more than 20 motorboats and sailboats will surge down the river and under the bridge, each decked out in Milwaukee-themed decorations and bright colors. Near the bridge, Historical Society members will stage a reenactment of the Milwaukee Bridge War of 1845 and initiate a game of tug of war across the street; on the bridge, meanwhile, trainers from Gold's Gym will lead lightly sweating groups through yoga poses.
Visitors drink and dine to the sounds of live music and multicultural dance performances as well as the sights of a one-act play on two stages on the Riverwalk. They can browse local vendors at a craft market, explore permanent sculpture installations, and stroke their chins while gazing at art pieces in paint, photography, blown glass, and other media from more than 50 local artists at booths along both sides of the river. As the crowd mills about throughout the event, artists from the Plein Aire Painters' Association make art live, painting the beautiful city skyline and buzzing groups of people. A complimentary water taxi runs between both Riverwalks throughout the day's festivities.
Bumper, Slick, Makaia, and Diego may sound like a team of superheroes, but at Oceans of Fun, they are the names of just 4 of the 11 sea lions and seals that inhabit the center's waters. Nestled in the Milwaukee County Zoo, the educational center focuses specifically on marine animals, educating visitors on their traits, their favorite places to play, and conservation strategies. Kids can feed the seals and sea lions buckets of fresh fish or build their animal-training repertoire during interactive programs; the animals also perform in shows four times daily throughout most of the year.

Building a custom groupware solution with Simple Groupware
If you have a need for custom groupware, try rolling your own with the Simple Groupware suite.
Finding the right groupware solution can be a tricky business. At first sight, any workgroup requires the same set of applications, such as email, a calendar, a project management tool, and a message board. But in reality, each and every workgroup has its own requirements. The special needs for your workgroup could consist of anything from a couple extra fields for project management data to a custom-designed task module.
You may be thinking that a user who chooses an Open Source groupware solution should be able to just tweak it as much as they like so the final result fits their needs perfectly. The truth is, however, few users have the knowledge and time to implement the required changes. A group of freelance writers, for instance, probably won't spend their free time programming PHP or writing SQL queries. Most groups must therefore make do with existing groupware solutions and adjust their work habits to the software.

Avoiding the Residential Mindset Knowing a building's intended use is key to developing strategy and tactics.
NFPA Journal®, May/June 2009
While most firefighter deaths occur in residential fires, the probability of a firefighter being killed in a manufacturing occupancy is twice as great as it is in a residence, and nearly three times as great in stores and offices, places of public assembly, and vacant and special occupancies. Because most fires occur in one- and two-family dwellings, however, many firefighters have more experience fighting residential fires than any other kind. As a result, they tend to apply residential techniques to fires in other, larger occupancies. Unfortunately, the strategies and tactics that prove successful at small, residential properties are often ineffective, even dangerous, when applied at fires involving more complex, nonresidential occupancies.

March - April 2009 Truss construction can put firefighters at risk
January - February 2009 Estimating structural stability
November - December 2008 Strategy and tactics applied to large area fires in urban areas
September - October 2008 Tactics to consider when protecting exposures
July - August 2008 The extinguishment tools of the trade
In extremely large areas that are well involved in fire, for example, it will be impossible to extinguish the blaze using handheld lines. As rooms increase in size, the difficulty of extinguishing a fire increases, as well, due, in part, to larger rate-of-flow requirements. Most standard operating procedures for structural fires call for an initial pre-connect attack line and a back-up line of equal or greater size. Once a fire exceeds the capabilities of this standard attack, additional staffing, water supplies, and tactics are needed. In large, open areas, multiple 2½-inch fire streams may be needed, thus exposing firefighters and civilians to a hostile fire environment over a larger area for a longer period of time.
Over time, as a fire increases in size and intensity, the likelihood of building collapse also grows. In most residential properties, rooms are of limited size, and the walls tend to partially support a collapsed roof. Roof failure over a large open area presents a much greater hazard to firefighters working below.
Escape routes are also closer and easier to find in most single-family homes than they are in larger buildings. While depleting the SCBA air supply or an SCBA failure often results in survivable smoke inhalation in a residential fire, the loss of air supply in a larger, more complex building is more likely to be fatal because more time is needed to escape, and there is a higher probability of disorientation. Rapid intervention crews (RICs) generally need more time to find and extract firefighters in large buildings, particularly buildings with large open areas, than they do in a single-family house.
In addition, large-area buildings, such as places of assembly and mercantile occupancies, may have high occupant densities during business hours. These buildings are particularly dangerous for firefighters, who accept greater risk to save a human life than they would if only property were at stake. Compare the risks firefighters typically encounter in a single-family house to those the Charleston, South Carolina, Fire Department faced at the 2007 fire at the Sofa Super Store, for instance. The store was still occupied by employees when the fire, which killed nine firefighters, began.
The incident commander facing a fire in a large, complex building without a pre-incident plan is at a distinct disadvantage. A fire department confronting a fire in such a structure will need additional staffing to augment the RIC and to fight the fire if an offensive attack strategy is employed. Firefighters and company officers should be aware of the increased hazards when fighting fires in larger buildings and take extra precautions. It is important to avoid a single-family residential mindset.

Born in London, England, on December 15, 1981, Michelle Dockery attended two drama schools before embarking upon her professional acting career in 2004. She made her TV debut in 2005 in a BBC miniseries. Her big break came in 2010 when she landed the part of Lady Mary Crawley on Downton Abbey. The series has gone on to be a smash international hit, making Dockery a star and garnering her several award nominations.
Early Years
Michelle Dockery was born on December 15, 1981, in Romford, East London, England, the youngest of three girls. She was raised in Romford and educated at the Chadwell Heath Foundation School before training at the Finch Stage School and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. As a child, she would go to auditions, at one point trying out for The Sound of Music (but she was apparently overlooked because of her cockney accent).
After graduating from Guildhall in 2004, Dockery joined the National Youth Theatre and made her professional debut in His Dark Materials at the Royal National Theatre. She made her television debut the following year as Betty in Fingersmith, a two-part BBC miniseries. In 2006, Dockery was nominated for the Ian Charleson Award for her performance in Pillars of the Community, again at the Royal National Theatre.
During this period, Dockery kept herself and the critics busy, appearing in Burnt by the Sun at the National Theatre (and earning an Olivier Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress), Pygmalion (for which she won second prize at the Ian Charleson Awards) and Bath, on a U.K. tour and at the Old Vic (for which she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2008 Evening Standard Awards).
A Career on a Roll
With a solid amount of theater success under her belt, Dockery began popping up regularly in TV movies, such as Hogfather (2006), Consent (2007) and Poppy Shakespeare (2008), and in TV series such as Heartbeat (2008) and Waking the Dead (2009). Her big break came in the fall of 2010, with the principal role of the snooty Lady Mary Crawley in the BBC series Downton Abbey.
The show was an instant hit and became an international smash, propelling Dockery into the spotlight. For the series' first season, she was nominated for a Southbank Award for Best Breakthrough Performance in a TV drama. In 2012 she received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. That same year, she and the cast won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and 2013 brought her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama.
Her TV success has allowed her to begin the transition into big-screen feature films, with roles in the assassin thriller Hanna (2011) and the 2012 adaptation of Anna Karenina. She is also a featured player in the 2013 thriller Non-Stop, starring Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore.
