Caulker: Cardiff more of a challenge
Steven Caulker has no regrets about leaving Tottenham for Cardiff, and is ready to prove his international credentials against Manchester City's forward line.
The 21-year-old decided to leave White Hart Lane, and a club challenging for Champions League football, to join a newly promoted Cardiff side widely tipped for a season-long battle against relegation.
The acquisition of the England cap for an £8million fee was considered a great deal for the Bluebirds, but some were surprised at Caulker's decision.
The former Swansea man hopes the move will enhance his chances of being part of Roy Hodgson's squad for next summer's World Cup, and a strong performance against the likes of Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday would not go unnoticed.
He said: "A good performance would certainly help me. It is always the aim to be part of the England squad and especially in a World Cup year. I am striving to get in that squad.
"But they have a lot of good players in that position and Roy Hodgson can only pick four centre-halves for his squad.
"Obviously, I am competing with the best in England but I will just keep working, focusing on my own game and if that call comes then great.
"My number one priority is to keep Cardiff in the Premier League, and with this game being on TV it's a massive opportunity.
"I want to bring my Premier League experience to this team and add that leadership to my game. I am only young but I want to develop that and be more vocal during games,
"It's more of a challenge here than it would be at Spurs - especially when you see them adding to their squad.
"I feel like it's a fresh challenge and one I am looking forward to, and I believe I can come through, along with the rest of the team."
Tottenham have spent heavily during the summer and, despite Gareth Bale's apparently impending departure to Real Madrid, they look set to be among the challengers at the top of the table.
But Caulker has no doubt he made the right move.
"I knew what I was coming here for and I am not looking back. I wish Tottenham well," he said.
"I understand why people question why I have dropped down. But people who knew me know I want to play football and challenge myself every week. I am young and want to play and get as much experience as I can.
"Tottenham is a club that has not produced a player since Ledley King, so it was slightly difficult to see your future there as a youngster."

Gun Show Ban Debate
Updated: Monday, January 7 2013, 05:00 PM EST
An Asheville city councilman is calling for a ban on gun shows within city limits citing an ordinance that's been on the books for almost two decades. A 1994 Asheville ordinance bans weapons on city-owned property.
Cecil Bothwell says that since the school shootings in Newtown, many Asheville residents have been calling him and saying the city needs to do more to promote stronger gun regulation. Bothwell believes the law that restricts guns and knives on city-owned property is a good place to start. He says it should apply to the gun shows that are held in Asheville every year, but admits it might be a tough sell.
Bothwell's proposal must first be considered by the city attorney before it has any chance of going to council. There is also a question regarding the definition of city limits and how that might pertain to a popular gun show location.

Emergency Plans When are they required, and what should they include?
NFPA Journal, July/August 2010
The general requirements for emergency plans and when such plans are required have changed over the last few code cycles. The general requirements for an emergency plan are contained in Section 4.8 of NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code® , which states that an emergency plan is necessary when required by Chapters 11 through 42 or "where required by action of the authority having jurisdiction."
May - June 2010 Using NFPA 101 to take the guesswork out of the placement of exit signs
March - April 2010 A closer look at objects residing in corridors
January - February 2010 Why protecting openings between floors is a must
November - December 2009 When should cooking equipment be protected?
September - October 2009 More elevator considerations from the latest Life Safety Code
July - August 2009 Why you need to pay particular attention to the inspection of doors
The second statement leaves it open for the local authority having jurisdiction to implement requirements for when an emergency plan is required. Some jurisdictions also require that the fire plans be reviewed and approved by the local authority.
But let's review when Chapters 11 through 42 require an emergency plan. The requirements will be found in the X.7 Section, "Operating Features," of each occupancy chapter and in Chapter 11 where specified for special structures. All occupancies, except those listed below, require an emergency plan in accordance with Section 4.8 of the Life Safety Code.
Chapters 18 and 19 on new and existing health care occupancies, Chapters 20 and 21 on new and existing ambulatory health care occupancies, Chapters 22 and 23 on new and existing detention and correctional occupancies, and Chapters 32 and 33 on new and existing board and care occupancies all require emergency plans. However, these occupancies do not reference Section 4.8; rather, they provide information on what must be contained in the emergency plan. Of course, the items listed in Section 4.8 can be included in the plan.
Chapters 28 and 29, which address hotels and dormitories, also require an emergency plan, in accordance with Section 4.8. In addition, they require that emergency instructions be posted for guests. Emergency plans for new and existing mercantile occupancies are only required in high-rise buildings.
Chapters 40 and 42, which address industrial and storage occupancies, do not require an emergency plan. Nor do one- and two-family dwellings. But we know that public education promoting escape plans with meeting places is an important part of fire safety for residents of homes.
Chapter 26 on lodging and rooming houses does not require an emergency plan, either. As these occupancies are often similar to one- and two-family dwellings, however, an escape plan is important.
When a plan is required, what should it include? According to Section 4.8, it should include procedures for reporting of emergencies; a description of occupant and staff response to emergencies; evacuation procedures appropriate to the building, its occupancy, and potential emergencies; appropriateness of the use of elevators; the design and conduct of fire drills; the type and coverage of building fire protection systems; and other items required by the authority having jurisdiction.
In addition, Section 18.104.22.168 requires emergency plans to be submitted to the authority having jurisdiction for review, and Section 18.104.22.168 requires that emergency plans be reviewed and updated as required by the authority having jurisdiction.
Emergency plans are important documents, and they should not just be filed away. The plans must be active, living documents that everyone understands and is trained to follow and implement as appropriate should an emergency occur.
Chip Carson, P.E., is president of Carson Associates, Inc., a fire engineering and code consultancy. He is a former member of NFPA's Board of Directors.

Christopher Scott barely notices the strapping blond messenger as he eagerly and impatiently signs for his package. In the bedroom, Christopher unwraps his new toy...a beautiful pink latex dildo of indulgent proportions. He strips to his jockstrap, revealing the full cock-stiffening impact of his tanned, muscled form. Eagerly but lovingly he warms up with his new toy-rhythmically and deliberately burying the tool deep inside his ass, working it like the assplay expert that he is. Sebastian Cruz quietly enters, enjoying his vantage-point before finally chastening Christopher for playing without him. Sebastian takes charge, enjoying some hot compensation for being left out!

"I had these made up with matching address labels to give my daughter and son-in-law when they purchased their first home. They loved them! They are simple but classy."
"I first have to state how personable Tiny Prints' call center was and how efficient they were in getting my order correct. I contacted them when I discovered that I did not receive the free shipping (my oversight) and not only did they refund me the shipping but they sent me a handwritten not in the mail to thank me for my call and asked if I needed anything further regarding my order. I was surprised that this company would remember me. I am totally pleased with the post card, it is beautiful, the paper quality, the format and the picture quality looks as if I had the pictures taken professionally. This is my NEW best company. I handed out the cards to parents that attended my son's birthday party as a thank you card, they loved them!!! !"
"We love this little card. It's very us and worked well for our over all theme and design. I didn't care too much for the tinyprints logo on the back being so big, and the card has a matte finish so get an ink pen not a ball point. But other than running out of room we love these cards!! They will be great for overall thanks and not just wedding thanks."
"This card was perfect for me. Simple and elegant. Very casual but the card and print was very well made thick and colors were great. I would recommend tiny prints to anyone staff is friendly and helpful. This is now my go to place for all cards and invitations!"
"This card was the icing on the cake after a super first birthday party! It's festive and fun and allowed me one more celebration with the birthday girl. Everyone commented on how cute the card was and the strategically placed birthday hat. The paper quality and the printing was fabulous, the usual Tiny Prints standard!"

In Blank We Trust?
Should you trust Paul Goldschmidt to produce well enough to be a mixed league starter? Should you trust Josh Johnson to stay healthy? Should you have faith that Jayson Werth will rebound from a down 2011?
D'Backs GM Kevin Towers had this to say about Paul Goldschmidt the young, slugging first baseman who is generating a lot of hype in the fantasy game. "I would be happy if he did what he did last year and nothing more than that. If the power comes, great, but finding a way to get on base, if it is a walk or a base hit, I will take that from him." Goldschmidt killed it last season blasting 30 homers in just 103 games at Double-A (this a year after he hit 35 homers in 138 games at High-A ball). Obviously, Goldschmidt is a power hitter, so it's a bit foolish for Towers to have made the statement he did even though I understand he is doing it to keep the expectations in check for the youngster. Paul hit eight homers with 26 RBI in 48 games last season with the Diamondbacks. If he were to keep up that pace in 2012 we'd be looking at a first baseman hitting .250 with 25 homers and 80 RBI. Current ADP numbers show Goldschmidt going off the board 12th at the position, ahead of guys like Gaby Sanchez (17th) and Carlos Pena (18th). Given that all three of those players have produced a bunch of seasons of the ilk that we're postulating with Goldschmidt as a hypothetical outcome for his 2012 effort, are you as surprised as I am to see him being taking 75 picks ahead of a guy like Carlos Pena?
Kelly Clarkson has a great voice. Always love hearing her belt one out.
Marlins' manager Ozzie Guillen said that the Fish will monitor the workload of oft injured hurler Josh Johnson. "He will dictate for us what to do," Guillen said. "What I want him to do is have confidence in us to make sure we know. So he can come to us and say, 'Listen, I need a day.' Can I miss a start? I don't want him to go out there and be a hero..." Guillen then went on to totally contradict himself, hardly a shock, by saying the following. "In my mind, I have this man throwing 200 innings and winning 21 games. That's in my mind." Johnson is likely to, at least, be removed early from games in which the Marlins have a lead or are behind, so I have a hard time envisioning that he will make it to 200-innings this season. You don't have to believe me – just look at his track record. Johnson has pitched 200 innings once in his career and since 2006, his first season as a starter, he has averaged 119 innings a season. To compare, since 2006 Erik Bedard has averaged 112 innings a season. Read that again. The last six years the always injured Bedard is averaging seven less innings a season than Johnson. Are you really still comfortable with depending on Josh Johnson this season?
I was having a debate with a friend the other day. I'm a big fan of plasma televisions since I think they gives a better, more natural color than LCD televisions. Plasma's also handle motion a bit better and they are better with dark colors (i.e. black levels), so it's a slam dunk that plasma is better LCD in my mind. That will end your brief foray into geek talk. Wait... maybe all my talk is actually geek talk? Is fantasy baseball really any less geeky? Could it be possible that I'm that guy, the one who can't relate to people because he is playing with his Han Solo and Chewbacca action figures? Nah, can't be me.
How bad was Jayson Werth last year? In a season of at least 300 at-bats he posted his worst batting average (.232), OBP (.330) and his second worst SLG mark (.389 – it was .374 back in 2005). As a result Werth, who had posted an OPS of at least .850 for 4-straight years, saw that number dip to .718 last season. Awful. At the same time he still hit 20 homers and and stole 19 bases. Do you know how many outfielders matched those totals last year? The answer is just 11. Moreover, the last four seasons Werth has produced an average of 27 homers and 18 steals. He's on my list of guys you'll want to target in 2012.

I received these pants a week ago, and I am already referring to them as my "magic pants"! I am 5'3", hourglass, with wide hips. I was initially concerned with purchasing such high waisted pants, but after trying them on I fell in love with them! The only authentic description I can provide is that they are like industrial strength, exceptionally crafted, curve accentuator pants! The suck in the thighs, hips and stomach and lift the butt! PERFECT!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large lipped baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put the flour into a bowl with the baking soda, cream of tartar, and sugar. Chop the butter and the vegetable shortening into pieces and drop them into the flour. Rub the fats into the flour - or just mix any old how - and then pour in the buttermilk, working everything together to form a dough.
Lightly flour your work surface. Pat the dough into a round-edged oblong about 1 3/4 inches thick and cut out 2-inch scones with a biscuit cutter. (Mine are never a uniform height, as I only pat the dough into its shape without worrying whether it's irregular or not.)
Arrange the scones fairly close together on your lined baking sheet, and brush with beaten egg (to give golden tops) or not as you wish.
Bake for 12 minutes, by which time the scones will be dry on the bottom and have a relatively light feel. Remove them to a wire rack to cool, and serve with clotted cream and your favourite jam.
Make Ahead Note: Scones are best on the day they are made but day-old scones can be revived by warming in oven preheated to 300 degrees F for 5 to 10 minutes.
Freeze Note: Baked scones can be frozen in airtight containers or resealable bags for up to one month. Thaw for 1 hour at room temperature and warm as above. Unbaked scones can be put on parchment-lined trays and frozen until solid. Transfer to resealable bags and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake direct from frozen, as directed in recipe, but allowing extra 2 to 3 minutes baking time.

So my friend, the uber-talented filmmaker (and recent Sondheim Award winner!) Matt Porterfield is launching his Kickstarter fundraising campaign for his newest project, I Used to Be Darker (co-written with his partner, Amy Belk) and has chosen to do it in a particularly, well, badass way. As I wrote on Matt's Facebook wall, "If Chuck Norris were launching a Kickstarter campaign, this is how he'd do it."
See for yourself. (And if you're inclined to invest in Matt's project, all the better.)
By the way, Matt has promised to get a new tattoo for every $100 invested. . . (Just kidding).

Delta UnisawFor years woodworkers everywhere have looked to the Delta Unisaw as the standard-bearer for stationary table saws, with good reason. And while you might think it would be hard to improve on such an icon, Delta engineers have completely redesigned the U.S.-made Unisaw to meet today's woodworkers' needs-and we're impressed. The first thing we noticed was the set of dual front cranks that control blade-height and bevel adjustments, better located for easier access and use. An easy-to-read bevel-gauge dial facilitates setting angles. The new model also includes a tool-free adjustable riving knife and improved blade-guard assembly. There's even a storage drawer located under the extension table for blades and parts. The dual-level dust collection promises improved performance, a one-piece arbor nut should help blade changing, and the table has more space in front of the blade-15 inches-which should help with feeding sheet materials. Delta Unisaw: $2,800 to $3,100. 800-223-7278.

It's Time to Move Beyond the Finger-pointing ... and Start Identifying Solutions
Posted on Nov 5, 2009
One of the most predictable consequences of corporate financial failures is the inevitable finger-pointing that follows. There was plenty of finger-pointing following the Enron, World-Com, and other failures of the early 2000s, and it was sure to happen again following the financial failures of the past two years. Lately, however, I have noticed that the accusations are literally "going global." As important as it is to understand the contributing factors, I believe it's time to move forward with the design and implementation of corrective measures in corporate governance and risk management that will effectively mitigate the risks of calamities of this magnitude in the future.

text: This chapter presents information on large trucks involved in fatal, injury, and property damage only crashes. Some of the data in this chapter come from the MCMIS Crash File, which contains data on trucks and buses in crashes that meet the SAFETYNET recommended threshold. MCMIS data are used for the tables on vehicle configuration (Table 47), crashes by cargo body type (Table 48), gross vehicle weight rating (Table 49), hazardous materials cargo (Table 50), and hazardous materials released (Table 51). SAFETYNET nonfatal crashes tend to be more serious than GES nonfatal crashes, because the SAFETYNET threshold requires at least one injury involving immediate medical attention away from the crash scene, or at least one vehicle disabled as a result of the crash and transported away from the crash scene. Below is a summary of some of the vehicle information in this section:

Lyn Fotball
Full name | Lyn Fotball | ||

Ground | Frogner stadion | ||
Capacity | 4,000 | ||
Manager | Finn Bredo Olsen | ||
League | Second Division (men) First Division (women) |

Lyn Fotball is a Norwegian football club and a department of the sports club Ski- og Fotballklubben Lyn based in Oslo, whose members also participate in Nordic skiing and orienteering. Until 2010, SFK Lyn had two football departments, one professional section and one amateur section. After the professional football department, FK Lyn was bankrupted in 2010, the fans decided to support the amateur department, Lyn Fotball, instead. With the help of some of the old FK Lyn players, Lyn Fotball have won three consecutive promotions, and is playing in the Second Division. The team plays its home matches at Frogner Stadion, and the head coach is Finn Bredo Olsen.
Lyn was founded in 1896 and is one of the oldest football clubs in Norway, and they were founding members of the Football Association of Norway in 1902. The club won the league in 1964 and 1968 and have won the cup eight times. Lyn was also the initiator of the construction of Ullevaal Stadion, which has served as Norway's national stadium since 1927 and was Lyn's home ground from 1926 to 2010. Lyn has traditionally been perceived as representing the upper and middle classes, whereas the eastside club Vålerenga was seen as belonging to the workers.
The club enjoyed some success during the first half of the 20th century, securing many Cup titles, and despite failing to win the league title, had a certain stature in Norwegian football. The Norwegian national football team that won the bronze medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics included six players from Lyn. The captain of this team was Lyn-player Jørgen Juve, who is still the player with the most goals scored for the Norwegian national team. The club's most recent period of success was during the 1960s, when they won four trophies and reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup.
Lyn also fields a women's team, which in 2012 won promotion to the First Division, the second tier in women's football
Early success[edit]
Lyn was founded on 3 March 1896 at St. Hanshaugen. Lyn was one of three clubs who in 1902 founded the Football Association of Norway, and is the only one still existing. In the first decade of Football in Norway, the club was one of the strongest and won four consecutive Norwegian Cups from 1908 till 1911. At the 1936 Summer Olympics, six Lyn-players, Arne Brustad, Øivind Holmsen, Fredrik Horn, Magnar Isaksen, Jørgen Juve and Frithjof Ulleberg, represented the Norwegian national football team that won the bronze medal, with Juve as the team's captain. Jørgen Juve is still the player with the most goals scored for the Norwegian national team.
Lyn also won the cup in 1945 and 1946 but had to wait till 1964 for their first league-title. With Harald Berg and Ola Dybwad-Olsen as main contributors the club secured another victory in the cup in 1967, and in 1968 the club won The Double, clinching both the League title and the Cup, and became the first Norwegian team to reach the quarter final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, where they met Barcelona. Because of the weather conditions during the winter in Norway, both matches were played in Spain. Lyn lost the first game 2-3 and in the second match Lyn was leading 2-0 with 15 minutes left to play. The match ended 2-2 and thus Lyn was eliminated.
The Double was followed by a dismal period in the club's history. The club was relegated in 1969, and even though the team was promoted back after one year and reached the cup final in 1970, the club was again relegated in 1973. During the next 30 years, Lyn was swiftly relegated and promoted between the first and the third tier and the club was never playing in the top division for more than three consecutive seasons. During this period the fan base eroded and Lyn is said to have lost a generation of supporters.
During the 90s the club went back and forth between the Premier League and the First Division. In 1994, Lyn reached the Norwegian Cup final but narrowly lost 2-3 to Molde.
The Brynestad-period[edit]
Norwegian investor Atle Brynestad bought the club in 1999, in effect saving it from bankruptcy. In 2000, the team was promoted to the Premier League, after winning the First Division with an unprecedented number of points, and they retained their spot in the top flight the following year. In the 2002-season a strengthened Lyn took the lead early on and had gained a large advantage halfway through the season, but had to settle for a 3rd place finish after a disastrous slump in form. The misery, in part due to the constant hiring and firing of coaches, continued into the next year. Lyn struggled at the bottom of the table for most of the season but avoided relegation thanks to the efforts of team captain Tommy Berntsen, who took on the role as coach after Teitur Thordarson, the 5th coach in two years, had resigned. 2004 was a recovery year for Lyn, ending the season in 6th place and reaching the Norwegian Cup final (lost to Brann).
2005 was an eventful year for the club, both on and off the pitch. The club's youth program was beginning to bear fruits and with former international Henning Berg as the new head coach the club claimed 3rd spot in the league. Lyn defeated Rosenborg at Ullevaal for the first time since 1968 and repeated the feat in the away game.
In April, the club's talented Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel signed a contract with Manchester United, and according to a statement by Lyn's managing director Morgan Andersen, it was the most expensive transfer in Norwegian football to date. The transfer has since been the source of a heated dispute, and Mikel instead joined Chelsea after a long period of time. FIFA released an announcement stating that Lyn had done everything correct in the process. The transfer is said to have cost Chelsea £16 million. £12 million of this to Manchester United and £4 million to Lyn.
On 10 October 2008, Chelsea announced on their website that they were initiating legal proceedings against Lyn Oslo and their former director Morgan Andersen in an attempt to recover the entire £16 million fee paid. Chelsea maintain that this was due to the contract of the original transfer being based on a fraudulent misrepresentation.[1]
In 2007, the club sold Nigerian international Chinedu Obasi to TSG Hoffenheim for an expected €5 million.
The 2009 season was again very disappointing with the club relegated from Tippeligaen and saved from liquidation at the very last moment.
The 2010 season saw Lyn at Bislett Stadion (sharing with Skeid) in the second level of Norwegian football. In April 2010 Idar Vollvik's company, Ludo, was presented as the club's latest sponsor in an attempt to rescue the club from its financial crisis, but to no avail, and on 30 June 2010, the club declared bankruptcy.[2]
Lyn Fotball[edit]
Following the bankruptcy, Lyn's fans gathered around the club's surviving team in the Sixth Division (seventh tier) for the remainder of the 2010 season moving their home games to Frogner Stadion, drawing large crowds to their home games.[3] In late 2010, Lyn club paid all debt associated with the reserves team of the bankrupt top-flight club. The football association then awarded Lyn the licence formerly held by the reserves, allowing the club to play the 2011 season in the Fourth Division. Led by Finn Bredo Olsen, Lyn secured promotion to the Third Division, after a perfect season with no losses or draws.[4] On 30 September 2012, Lyn secured promoted to the Second Division, after beating Lommedalen 9–0 in front of 2,113 spectators at Frogner Stadion.[5]

Colours and badge[edit]
Lyn's home colours are red and white shirts and blue shorts. The shirts have red sleeves and a red front with a broad, vertical white bar in the middle, which is traditionally twice as wide as the sides (a 25-50-25 red-white-red pattern). The back has the same pattern, with inverted colours.
During the first years the club had two kits, one with blue and white horizontally striped jerseys and white shorts, and a red kit in the same fashion. These were used interchangeably up until at least 1906. It is unclear exactly when the current kit was adopted, but it was in use by the time Lyn had claimed their first Norwegian Cup in 1908. The socks have traditionally been red. White socks have also been used, most recently from the beginning of the 1990s until 2004, when the red socks were brought back.
The club uses an all-blue away kit, though several different colours have been used in the past.
The current club badge is a modified version of a design originally introduced in 1900. It was made by one of the first members of the club, Leif Eriksen, and replaced a silver badge from 1898. The crest features a football in the upper left corner and a pair of skis in the lower right corner, representing the two major sports of the club. While the badge is based on the heraldic shield form of the old coat of arms of Norway, Eriksen was probably not himself familiar with the rules of heraldic design. The name of the club and the date and year of its founding were written in gold on a white background, violating the so-called rule of tincture. Also, the date and year were written in different styles. The badge has therefore been altered twice, in 1996 and finally in 2001. On the current badge the date has been removed and replaced by "18 LYN 96" in red writing on a white background.
After the 2009 season FC Lyn made the decision to move from Ullevaal Stadion to Bislett Stadion.[7] Bislett, which is also an international track and field stadium, has a capacity of 15,400. Following the bankruptcy in 2010, Lyn's fans gathered around the club's surviving team moving their home games to Frogner Stadion, which has a capacity of 4,000.

Patrons of Whistler nightclubs can stay out a little later Sunday nights after council amended the municipality's liquor licensing policy to extend opening hours from 1 to 2 a.m.
The move brings opening hours for Whistler's six nightclubs in line with the rest of the week's schedule, as current local law allows for clubs or cabarets to stay open until 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday.
Nightclub managers reported to municipal staff that many patrons, especially foreign visitors, have expressed their surprise at Sunday's earlier closing times.
The reasoning behind the change, according to the municipal policy report presented to council Tuesday night (Oct. 16), was to offer a variety of choice for customers and provide a consistent entertainment product throughout the week.
The move makes sense considering the number of Canadian and U.S. holidays that fall on Mondays, as well as the number of foreign visitors that come to the community wanting to enjoy Whistler's nightlife regardless of the day of the week.
Municipal staff considered the potential for increased nighttime noise disturbances and the need for an ongoing police presence needed for the extended hours.
But, with local RCMP signing off on the amendment, council was quick to support the update to the municipal liquor policy.
"It received unanimous approval by all of the sectors, including the RCMP, so it made sense to approve it," said Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden. "It's consistent with the fact that we are taking a more relaxed approach to liquor regulations generally."
Each nightclub will now have to apply to the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) and the municipality in order to extend their hours.
A municipal staff report will have to be provided to council for each individual nightclub application before a resolution will be sent off to the LCLB with any concerns.
After being found in good standing by the RCMP, the nightclub will then have to post a sign notifying the public of the schedule change for 30 days in advance as well as place an ad in local news media.
Current municipal liquor law for local bars and pubs remains unchanged. These establishments are currently permitted to serve alcohol until 1 a.m. seven days a week.
Municipality requests consultation before Greyhound service cuts
Whistler's council wants the municipality to consult with Greyhound before the transportation company goes ahead with province-wide service cuts that would drastically reduce intercity bus trips in the Sea to Sky Corridor.
A resolution was passed Tuesday (Oct. 16) directing municipal staff to prepare a submission asking the province's Passenger Transportation Board not to approve a slew of Greyhound service cuts that would cut daily trips between Vancouver and Whistler from eight to four.
"We recognize that (Greyhound) is very challenged with some of their departures, so to the extent that we can have a dialogue with them and with the provincial regulatory body to hear their concerns and to give them some ideas about what they might do, we're really hoping that our letter will achieve that," said the mayor.
The municipality's request was based on three factors: a lack of reasonable consultation between Greyhound and local governments, an insufficient amount of time within the current licence amendment process for municipalities to consult with their constituents and a lack of opportunities for public commentary, preferably a public hearing, according to the resolution.
Greyhound officials said the company lost $14.1 million on its B.C. operations last year and needs to reduce service or face eliminating service in the province altogether.
"I think Greyhound's concerns are real concerns," said Coun. Jack Crompton, who sits on the municipality's Transit Management Advisory Committee. "What I would hope we could do as a municipality is be a part of this decision making process and give some input, give some feedback and maybe even share some ideas."

Title text: Sure, we could stop dictators and pandemics, but we could also make the signs on every damn diagram make sense. |
[edit] Explanation
Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Aside from uniting most of his country against Britain's heavy-handed rule, he was also an author, printer, musician, politician, postmaster, inventor, scientist, and diplomat. Some of his legacies include bifocals, the Franklin stove, an odometer for a horse-drawn carriage, the almanac and abolitionist ideals. He has since been honored with the use of his image on the $100 bill. For the purposes of this comic, Franklin also created the lightning rod and discovered the fundamentals of electricity, such as positive and negative charges, as well as the principle of conservation of charge.
When Franklin first wrote down his notes for electricity, he defined a positive charge as one left on a glass rod by rubbing it with silk, and a negative change as one left on rubber by rubbing it with fur. Without realizing it, this meant that he had assigned a negative value to the charge on the electron, later identified as the fundamental carrier of electrical charge.
In an electrical circuit, we envisage the charge to be flowing from positive to negative. This is analogous to energy flowing from a region of high temperature to one of low temperature, or a fluid moving from an area of high pressure to one of low pressure. However, because an electron is negatively charged, the actual flow of electrons is in the opposite direction, from negative to positive. This reversal of the natural expectation has caused unnecessary confusion to many fledgling engineers.
Time-travelling Cueball believes that reversing this decision has a higher priority than, say, avoiding the robot apocalypse. Rubbing a glass rod with silk removes electrons from the rod, and defining the resulting charge of the rod as negative would have thus assigned positive charge to electrons. Nothing, could ever be the same.
This would mean that protons would have been assigned a negative charge, and a different name would have been used for the positron. Negatronic brains, anyone? Of course it is too late to change now. But a time traveler...
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball steps out of rift. Benjamin Franklin is sitting at his desk with quill and parchment.]
- Cueball: Benjamin Franklin?
- Franklin: Yes?
- Cueball: I bring a message from the future! I don't have much time.
- Franklin: What is it?
- Cueball: The convention you're setting for electric charge is backward. The one left on glass by silk should be the negative charge.
- We were going to use the time machine to prevent the robot apocalypse, but the guy who built it was an electrical engineer.
The explanation is backwards. Current is defined as the flow of *positive* charge, thus moving from positive to negative terminals. In most cases, the current is actually electrons, which are moving from the negative terminals to the positive. 188.8.131.52 16:48, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hopefully fixed. This was hard to write clearly. 188.8.131.52 01:43, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

We highly and contentedly recommend a River Cruise as a way to enjoy continental travel. Voyage by ship gives a duck-eye view from the river. Docking then affords the opportunity to waddle around the old town, which is usually just steps away onshore. If not, say in a bigger city, the trip includes the bus transport for the local tour. We always enjoyed the walking tour that highlights key sights and then affords free time to explore on your own. The tour guides included are always expert and personable and provide fascinating history and charm. The guides' cordless audio device is most convenient for a group.
A comment on the favourable quality of the passengers. I don't know where the cruise line gets these people, but everyone is worldly, smart, polite, educated, in a word, genteel. Of course, here, I include myself and my attractive partner. They must employ that dreaded technique called profiling. And this leads to a series of very pleasant and interesting conversations (in various accents) at meal conclaves and social functions. Another highlight of the journey is the people met.
A superb variety of gustatory delights are exciting for the palate. Not for me is the light breakfast for early and late risers; I'm the full breakfast buffet type, with made-to-order stations and complimentary champagne, sipped, not added to juice. Can't face fellow passengers early? Breakfast can be delivered to your stateroom. The lunch buffet features appetizers, soups, homemade breads, cheeses, cold cuts, salads, hot dishes and delightful desserts. Afternoon tea with cakes or cookies is served in the lounge or on the top deck. Dinners are casually elegant sit-downs with multiple courses and complimentary wine, beer and sodas. Cappuccinos, espressos and other specialty coffees are available throughout the day. Finally, those with urgent night cravings can snack after 10 pm. (Yeah, I copied this from the brochure!)
If this is insufficient (and for some it seems it is,) get off! At your cost, onshore, you can sample regional specialties while enjoying local culture. In Lyon, chow down at the Paul Bocuse restaurants, rated three stars (Michelin's coveted top rating).
The Avalon cruise includes afternoon and night variety presentations and entertainment, games, movie nights and ship tours of the galley and the bridge. The entertainment is likely to be local, ethnic, charming. My partner and I are dancers, who prance at the drop of a hat or the sound of music, and we love to show off. It's our mission to enlist unwary guests as our target dance partners, now we have 4 on the floor. The ship always has an amiable and multitalented east-European musician in the lounge who thrives on this and takes requests. Autretemps, don't forget the fitness centre, where you can atone for your rich eating habit and rethink your travel strategy.
Did I forget the reason for the trip? The itinerary places are delightful snatches of history, geography, archeology, art and culture. We were thrilled with a surprise short organ concert in a church; and the fresh markets; shopping as a palliative for those with available suitcase room and credit. Let me not go on, not.
Bon Voyage, en France!
See you around. The world.

Nearly a year ago, the Hot Spring County Medical Center approached the Quorum Court asking them to continue the current 1/2 cent sales tax, which will sunset on Dec. 31. After the bill was passed, the hospital asked for the bill be set for a longer time period.

Good short biographies serve two purposes. The first is to provide the basic facts of a famous life to those who have little or no knowledge of the subject. The secondif the author is skilled enough and the subject serious enoughis to challenge those who think themselves expert.
John Keegan competently outlines the essentials of Winston Churchill in his recent contribution to the Penguin Lives Series. One can recommend it without hesitation to someone who is not already a Churchill-phile. At initial reading, however, the book seems a little disappointing to those looking for a challenge. Keegan is perhaps the best contemporary student of military history, yet he offers relatively few considered judgments about Churchill's particular approach to military strategy.
But Keegan's introductory and concluding sections, upon reflection, do achieve that higher standard. He addresses Churchill as military leader rather than as military commanderas the man who (as President John F. Kennedy famously said) mobilized the English language and sent it into battle. Keegan does not attempt a rhetorical analysis of Churchill's great wartime speeches and writings; rather, he shows how Churchill's approach to war and his understanding of the great political ideas underlying Western civilization were consciously melded to create a force unto itself.
The physical bravery that Churchill discovered while serving on the Indian subcontinent and in Africa was the starting point. This did much to restore the self-confidence damaged by his father's coldness and schoolboy failures. As Keegan details, the young Churchill's courage was remarkable and would help later to underpin the moral courage that was also a central trait of his character. Churchill never abandoned his love affair with war. At an early age, however, he came to see that there was an ethical dilemma in the military life, to be resolved only if it were dedicated to a higher good. Victory mattered only if it served moral as well as material ends. He had seen what death meant and he never lost sight of its tragedy despite the seduction of its glory.
What set Churchill aside from most men of war, Keegan writes, was his early decision to transform, by self-education, his romantic vision of soldiering as a means of service to his country into a broader conception of public service. Churchill's conception was based on deep reading in history and political theory, although he was not a theoretical man. He came to understand Britain's great military accomplishments throughout its historythe defeat of Continental imperialists, the foundation of its own Empire, victory over European warlords and dictatorsas the process by which its constitutional principles were enforced in the international arena and transmitted to the wider world. Those principles and practicesits championship of democracy, personal liberty, and the rule of lawmade Britain superior to the regimes it opposed on the battlefield.
As Churchill wrote his great war speeches he drew upon the version of British history he had constructed in his head while serving as a subaltern in India; upon the lessons taken from the biography of his ancestor, the first Duke of Marlborough, and his victory over Britain's continental enemies; and upon Churchill's own retelling of the story of World War I as an epic of world crisis and eventual triumph. In 1940 events offered him the greatest opportunity to make the present itself into an epic. Keegan concludes that, through his extraordinary oratory, Churchill set the moral as well as strategic course for victory over the greatest threat his country had every faced; and over the consequent threat to the idea of freedom in the Cold War that followed. Churchill believed, and through his rhetoric inspired others to believe, in the greatness of his country and in the universal validity of its principlesabove all that of individual freedomthat it had come to represent.
But freedom was not merely a preserve of his own country. Churchill's strategy in World War II, Keegan points out, depended above all on the United States coming in, at a time when most Americans did not want to come in. His wartime oratory had been aimed as much at the American people as his own. His ultimate literary project, begun in the 1930s A History of the English-Speaking Peoplesshowed that Churchill was thinking of the historical processes that had formed not only his own country, but also his mother's American homeland, in the widest terms. He constructed his own version of American history as an equal epic to Britain's in championship of liberty. He saw them as intimately intertwined. What had been severed in one war, the American Revolution, would be finally healed through common action in two great wars in the 20th century.
One might reasonably conclude from Keegan's study thatbesides reaching a better understanding of our special relationship with the British, which Churchill in the profoundest sense recreatedwe need a still larger story with which to understand and defend civilization against today's and tomorrow's violent threats. Individual freedom must have a convincing story to tell for peoples everywhere if, as Churchill dreamed, we are ever to reach the sunny uplands of peace, prosperity, and justice.

Engine Diesel combustion creates two emission problems: particulate matter and nitrogen oxides (NOx ). B. Particulate Filter The particulate filter traps soot caused by incomplete combustion. The soot burns off eventually. C. SCR Catalytic Converter SCR uses an aqueous urea solution (aka diesel exhaust fluid, which is kept in an onboard tank) with a catalyst that reduces NOx to nitrogen, water, and carbon dioxide. Smaller engines can get by without SCR. Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back 2 of 4 Next Return to Gallery Back Next Return to Slideshow Related Links
