TOPSHOTS Orthodox Jews gather on Water Street in lower Manhattan March 9, 2014 to pray and protest against the current effort by the Israeli government to pass a law to draft religious Jews into its army. The gathering is intended as a show of solidarity with the Orthodox Jews in the State of Israel, who gathered last Sunday at the entrance of Jerusalem in the what some have called the largest protest of its kind in recent history. Most estimated the crowd there at over 600,000 men, women and children. AFP PHOTO / Timothy A. CLARYTIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images

Your Garden Border Plan
Roll out the paper garden plan & peg it into the ground
Place plants in correct position according to the letters
Plant them into the ground through the holes in the paper
Cover the garden plan with top soil and water
Water regularly
The plants all arrived in perfect condition & are now planted. We are really looking forward to watching the border grow & fill out, this is something we really should have done a long time ago.
Janet, Kent
How to plant your garden border
Mark out garden border width on the ground and remove top layer of turf.
Prepare ground by digging to a depth of at least 20cm (8"). Add soil conditioner if required.
Roll out paper plan and peg into ground (pegs supplied).
Place pre-lettered garden plants on their indicated positions.
All plants are supplied and have a designated position to ensure correct spacing.
Remove pot and plant into ground through holes cut into paper.
Leave bio-degradable plan in place and cover with layer of top soil or bark chippings.
Water all the garden plants before and after planting and at regular intervals during dry weather.
Help & gardening advice
Q: How long will the border-in-a-box-kit take to arrive after ordering?
A: You can expect delivery within 10 to 14 days.
Q: How long does it take to plant a border-in-a-box-kit?
A: Depending on the quality of your soil, a 10 meter border with soil preparation and planting should take around a day.
Q: Should I remove the pots?
A: Yes. We hope to produce biodegradable pots in the coming year, but for now remove pots and re-use them if possible.
Q: Are the plants a good size when they arrive?
A: We supply top quality, well rooted, plants in 1 litre pots which we find establish really well.
Q: How quickly does the paper biodegrade?
A: The paper bio-degrades in 2-3 months and helps to suppress weeds in the mean time.
Q: How often do I water the plants once they are planted?
A: In the spring and summer 3 times a week minimum � once a day would be even better. Especially in sunny, breezy weather.
Q: Do I get exactly what I have seen on the website?
A: The picture is a representation of the plants you may receive but substitutes may be given due to seasonality that give the same �look�.
Q: What if I want a curvy front edge to my border?
A: Shape the edge to suit by using a hosepipe to get the perfect curve and fill gap with plants.
When your garden plants arrive, ensure they are removed from the box asap, and placed outside and watered thoroughly.
Follow instructions for planting but please soak each plant in bucket of water for 5 mins before planting so it goes in ground nice and wet.
In spring and summer water every other day for maybe a month or so after planting depending on weather. After that three times a week should do and after three months or so one good soaking a week should suffice.
It�s always best to push a finger into the soil around a plant to check moisture and observe how the plant is looking � this will give indication of whether the plant needs water. You�ll get a feel for it soon enough!
There should not be too much pruning to do the first year but always remove faded flowers throughout summer to encourage more flowers.
In autumn leave old flowers on the plants as its good for wildlife and looks great on frosty mornings.
Silvery and mediterranean shrubs are best pruned in March to keep bushy.
When the mulch paper has rotted down and you start seeing your old soil at the surface keep adding a layer (2-3 cm or so) of compost or organic matter as it�s great for the soil, looks good and keeps moisture in the ground.
A handful of fertilizer every square meter or so, sprinkled lightly around your plants a couple of times in the summer will help them grow too.
Once you have success with your border you will soon be a gardening fanatic � just wait and see!

Choice of roller shades may save fabrics and upholstery from sun damageJul 26 2011 The right window covering can save draperies and other fabrics from sun damage. Room darkening shades can help protect delicate fabrics by controlling the light that comes into a living room that may not be used as much as other rooms in a home. Since drapes and more formal furniture are frequently found in such spaces, roller shades that fit a variety of decors can be chosen in blackout fabrics that provide the light control needed. One way to determine whether older furniture is ready for an update is to follow a rule of thumb used by HGTV interior designer Emily Henderson. If furnishings are more than 50 years old, they shouldn't be painted or refinished, she advises. The charm and age of a piece is what gives it beauty as well as value and refinishing may rob it of the patina built up over time. Henderson, who hosts HGTV's Secrets from a Stylist, also suggests creating updated vignettes in a room by taking furnishings from other parts of the home to recycle them into a fresh look in a new location.

A controlled parking zone is an area where we have limited the number of parking places available. You will find the times when these limits apply on large signs as you enter the zone. We will mark all the roads with yellow lines where parking is not allowed. If yellow line restrictions apply at different times to the controlled parking zone times, we will show the yellow line restrictions on separate signs.
When you need somewhere to park, it's easy to think of yellow lines and pay and display machines as nothing but a nuisance. But, in recent years, we have seen such a large rise in the number of vehicles on our roads that we have to decide where people can, and cannot, park.
When we enforce these parking rules properly, it helps us all by making sure:
Pay and display parking spaces are separated from other parking places, such as resident permit bays, by white double termination markings.
You can park in a pay and display machine bay in the following circumstances:
8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday
8.30am to 1.30pm or 6.30pm, Saturday, depending on the area
Some pay and display bays are only available at certain times (for example between 10am and 4pm) and outside these hours other restrictions may be in force.
Please read the notice on the pay and display machine carefully.
Before you park, always check the signs!
You can't park in a pay and display machine bay in the following circumstances:
If either of these things happens, you should:
Note: If you don't have a valid parking ticket displayed on your vehicle, you may get a penalty charge notice (PCN).

If you have lost money in the machine, please email the Parking Services at email@example.com or write to the following address: Pay and Display Refunds, Annexe Building, Pembroke Road, London W8 6LZ.
You will need to give them the following information:
When it has been confirmed that the machine is faulty, we will send you a refund by cheque, including postage costs.
Our engineers inspect our pay and display machines (inside and out) every day, for obvious faults like running out of tickets. Our engineers inspect and repair these machines during the hours that the machines are being used, or when our control centre asks them to inspect the machines.
Our engineers also check pay and display machines when parking attendants and members of the public report any faults to them. Our engineers will inspect them on the same day as the fault was reported, or before 8.30 am the next day.

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsSaving Graces: Finding Solace and Strength from Friends and Strangersby Elizabeth Edwards
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:She charmed America with her smart, likable, down-to-earth personality as she campaigned for her husband, then vice-presidential candidate John Edwards. She inspired millions as she valiantly fought advanced breast cancer after being diagnosed only days before the 2004 election. She touched hundreds of similarly grieving families when her own son, Wade, died tragically at age sixteen in 1996. Now she shares her experiences in Saving Graces, an incandescent memoir of Edwards' trials, tragedies, and triumphs, and of how various communities celebrated her joys and lent her steady strength and quiet hope in darker times.
Edwards writes about growing up in a military family, where she learned how to make friends easily in dozens of new schools and neighborhoods around the world and came to appreciate the unstinting help and comfort naval families shared. Edwards' reminiscences of her years as a mother focus on the support she and other parents offered one another, from everyday favors to the ultimate test of her own community's strength — their compassionate response to the death of the Edwards'teenage son, Wade, in 1996. Her descriptions of her husband's campaigns for Senate, president, and vice president offer a fascinating perspective on the groups, great and small, that sustain our democracy. Her fight with breast cancer, which stirred an outpouring of support from women across the country, has once again affirmed Edwards' belief in the power of community to make our lives better and richer. Review:"The breast cancer diagnosis Edwards received on November 3, 2004, is dismayingly common. Uncommon, however, is the timing and the circumstances surrounding it. Wife of the vice presidential candidate John Edwards, Edwards's discovery of the lump on her breast came the day after the election and subsequent defeat of the Kerry-Edwards ticket. This mixture of the common and the uncommon, of the everyday and the extraordinary, defines Edwards and her life. A lawyer, mother of a grown daughter and two young children, and the wife of a politician, Edwards is both an optimist and a realist with the ability to laugh at herself. Yet she has had to endure a parent's worst nightmare — the death of her teenage son, Wade, in a car accident. In the end, however, Edwards's memoir is not about cancer, politics or even unbearable loss (though the description of her grief is heart-wrenching). It's about the value of people coming together to support each other. You'll find no celebrity gossip here. But like the kiss on the forehead her husband gave her at the end of their first date, this memoir is disarmingly moving. First serial to People, second serial to Ladies' Home Journal; feature in Good Housekeeping; national author tour; October 2 appearances on The Today Show and NBC Nightly News." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"The beginning of Elizabeth Edwards' memoir is riveting. Two weeks before the 2004 election, in which her senator husband, John, was the Democratic candidate for vice president, she discovered a lump in her breast. A hastily arranged mammogram indicated it was probably cancerous. She told almost no one and chose to continue campaigning. In the struggle to maintain her courage and equanimity, she was...

Review:"Edwards is literate and folksy, not only aware but also happy to poke fun at her imperfections, someone with enough heartbreak to last several lifetimes." Cleveland Plain Dealer

It was very good choice. The hotel has wonderful seaview, pool on the roof and small balconies in the sea front. It is located near bus station. There are a lot of shops, restaurants and pedestrian areas close to hotel. "English breakfast" is quite boring. The same food every day: beacon and beams.

The Duke of Wellington
For a more laidback option, enjoy a pint at the Duke of Wellington, a traditional London pub that attracts a slightly older (30 plus) gay crowd. The atmosphere at "the Welly" is friendly and drinkers spill out onto the pavements in the summer months. A great place to soak up the Soho atmosphere!

This is a nice down to earth pub in Soho, serves the usual pub drinks. There are TV screens with pop music playing, keeping the punters entertained.

Eddy, a first-team Class AAA All-State player last season, led all scorers with 15 points, but never got into rhythm.
One of his few uncontested shots was a jumper just inside the 3-point circle that tied the game at 27 with 4:24 left.
"I took one dribble and there was a guy flying at me this way at my left, and a guy coming the other way," said Eddy, whose only rest before picking up his fourth foul at the 19-second mark of the fourth quarter was a 3.4-second break at the end of the third. "They had a good game plan. It worked ... first game."
He also finished with eight rebounds, three assists and three steals, but seldom got loose. Only four Patriots scored with senior Austin Breeden and King scoring seven apiece and freshman Cam Hoston adding six to go with seven rebounds off the bench.
Capital had eight scorers, led by junior Carrington Morris with eight, Tyrhee Pratt with seven and Austin Coleman with six.
"Luke and Austin were the only ones who have played any varsity minutes," GW Coach Rick Greene said. "It's going to take time. If you look at the whole thing until March, it's pretty encouraging that we come over here, lead with a chance to win it actually, considering where we are right now.
"I hate to lose and I'm disappointed we lost, but I'm not discouraged by anything at all. Some of the things we didn't do have to do with experience and some better practice habits."
The low-scoring affair featured 68 missed shots and only two 3-point baskets - one by GW's King with 3:24 left in the first quarter, and one by Capital's Pratt to give the hosts a 14-6 lead with 5:38 left in the first half.
The Patriots missed eight of their 3-point tries, while the free-shooting Cougars were 1-of-19 from long range.
George Washington faces Spring Valley on Friday in its home opener. Capital will play its third consecutive home game on Friday when it entertains Hurricane, which is coming off a 67-60 upset of host Logan on Monday night.

How would you like to debate an Oscar-winning actor -- on television? That's a daunting assignment to be sure, even for someone who's comfortable dealing with with the media.
But a plastics industry leader got that tough duty yesterday, when actor Jeremy Irons debated Peter Davis, director-general of the British Plastics Federation, on Channel 4 News.
The topic: Plastic bag taxes and dealing with plastic waste.
As our sister publication Plastics & Rubber Weekly reported, Irons has made a film entitled "Trash," which includes looking at the impact of plastic waste on environments around the world.
The actor argued for a plastic bag tax to be introduced into England, citing what he called the success of the levy imposed in Ireland, where he said consumption of bags had fallen by 95 percent.
Davis argued that such a charge would be counterproductive and pointed to how companies recycled plastic waste, particularly bottles.
Irons also called for better coordination of waste collection practices by local authorities.
I'm impressed that Davis got to share the spotlight in this report, and he handled the pressure pretty well. Several times both the interviewer and Irons interrupt Davis while he's trying to make a point.
But rather than argue, Davis worked hard to answer their questions while at the same time trying to complete his thought.
It must have been tough concentrating with Uncle Scar putting the heat on plastics. (I know, citing a Disney cartoon may not be highlighting Iron's best work, but that Scar voice just sticks in my head every time I hear it).
The fact that the bag debate is getting this much attention in the United Kingdom is further proof that this is a global issue -- and one that the industry is going to be dealing with for some time.

Comments about All-Power 2,000 Watt 3 HP Portable Open Frame Generator:
Nice unit for the price. It is very quiet. It is light, compact (fits in the car boot) and will run almost 8 hours on 1 load of gas.
Directions do not indicate what type of oil to use (perhaps they don't care?) I used 10W-40.
I tested it with a 1200 W hair dryer the first day. Works great on low 600W, but kick the hair dryer up to 1200W and it stalls the motor. So the 1500W surge bit in the advert is a stretch of the truth.

This Holiday Yoda was released as a Fan Club exclusive in 2003 in special SAGA Collection packaging. The figure was inspired by the 1981 Ralph McQuarrie Christmas card design, which shows Yoda in a Santa Clause outfit and carrying a bag of presents over his shoulder.
The figure is unique and features three movable parts, including a swivel head and two swivel arms. No other parts are movable. Yoda's body is basically one solid block of plastic with two feet sticking out at the bottom. Hasbro included a walking stick and a bag of toys with Yoda. The walking stick is a very loose fit, and it's more practical to keep the small plastic rubber band in place which keeps it attached to the left hand. The bag can be placed over Yoda's right shoulder, where his right hand can get a good grip of it and hold it in place. Yoda's Santa hat is part of the head and can't be removed. The Santa outfit is painted onto the figure and therefore not removable.
The paint application on the Holiday Yoda is quite simple, but looks cool. The figure's sculpt captures Yoda's likeness quite well and looks very nice when placed on the included display stand. All in all, this Holiday Yoda is very charming, and another nice tribute to the genius of Ralph McQuarrie.

The new James Bond film, "Skyfall," was released in the U.S. on November 9. Tom Bejgrowicz, a faculty member at PCA&D, created package designs and layouts for theme song collections as part of the 50th year celebration of the Bond series. Tom designed packaging for a single CD collection entitled "Best of Bond… James Bond: 50 Years – 50 Tracks," which features 23 theme songs from Bond's entire film history. In addition, he designed packaging for an expanded two-CD version, also entitled "Best of Bond… James Bond: 50 Years – 50 Tracks," that features the theme songs and includes a 27-track disc of musical scores, rare tracks, and deeper cuts from the movies' soundtracks.
Tom, shown in the gift shop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art this past October, holds one of the CDs he designed for the James Bond 50th anniversary. Tom can't help but write that "...it's very cool to have my name inside an official, studio-approved piece of James Bond lore." We agree. You can also see package design work he recently did for the Beatles reissue. Click here to see these designs. You can see other work by Tom and by many other PCA&D faculty members at the "Faculty Biennial," which opened on December 7. The exhibit continues through January 11, 2013 Visit our gallery page for more details. It's also worth noting that the artists will donate 50 percent of sales of their work from the "Faculty Biennial" to the "PCA&D Student Scholarship Fund."

Go to the Typealizer and find out the Myers-Briggs personality profile of your blog and others.
The interesting thing is that it described Stingray as INFP (Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving). I've taken the Myers-Briggs test twice and both times was declared an INFP.
INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world and are seen as reticent and even shy. Although they demonstrate a cool reserve toward others, inside they are anything but distant. They have a capacity for caring which is not always found in other types. They care deeply-indeed, passionately-about a few special persons or a cause. One word that captures this type is idealistic. At times, this characteristic leaves them feeling isolated, especially since INFPs are found in only 1 percent of the general population. INFPs have a profound sense of honor derived from internal values. The INFP is the Prince or Princess of mythology, the King's Champion, Defender of the Faith, and guardian of the castle. Sir Galahad and Joan of Arc are male and female prototypes of an INFP. To understand INFPs their cause must be understood, for they are willing to make unusual sacrifices for someone or something believed in.
INFPs seek unity in their lives, unity of body and mind, emotions and intellect. They often have a subtle tragic motif running through their lives, but others seldom detect this inner minor key. The deep commitment of INFPs to the positive and the good causes them to be alert to the negative and the evil, which can take the form of a fascination with the profane. Thus INFPs may live a paradox, drawn toward purity and unity but looking over the shoulder toward the sullied and desecrated. When INFPs believe that they have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. The atonement, however, is within the INFP, who does not feel compelled to make public the issue.
INFPs prefer the valuing process over the purely logical. They respond to the beautiful versus the ugly, the good versus the bad, and the moral versus the immoral. Impressions are gained in a fluid, global, diffused way. Metaphors and similes come naturally but may be strained. INFPs have a gift for interpreting symbols, as well as creating them, and thus often write in lyric fashion. They may demonstrate a tendency to take deliberate liberties with logic. Unlike the NT, they see logic as something optional. INFPs also may, at times, assume an unwarranted familiarity with a domain, because their global, impressionistic way of dealing with reality may have failed to register a sufficient number of details for mastery. INFPs may have difficulty thinking in terms of a conditional framework; they see things as either real or fancied, and are impatient with the hypothetical.

Hi Diego,
Overall, the reel is nice.
Making a successful reel is a bit of a dark art. Not sure I'm any kind of master, but here's my advice for what it's worth…
I'd second Baf about template files. Templates don't really belong on a reel… people want to see bespoke work. If you must use one, then at least swap out the place holders.
I'd also say lose the border and the subtitle that says motion graphics / 3d animation. What does that add? The border just takes away screen real estate from what's really important and the text states the obvious. For me, it also makes it feel a little bit downmarket.
There's quite a bit of repetition of jobs that doesn't add much to the first time we saw it. Obvious repetition of material that doesn't bring anything new smacks of trying to stretch a small amount of material out. Employers will notice that straightaway. If you haven't done so much stuff yet, then much better to shorten the reel. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a 40 second reel.
Basically, trim everything that's surplus to requirement. A potential employer will probably know in the first 15 seconds if they're going to employ you or not, and if not, they won't bother watching the rest….. i.e. open with a bang!
Hey thank you all for your responses!..
@baf2681 – Thanks for the link, pretty cool..
@ elreto – i dont know what could be wrong with the link..
@felt_tips – really nice tips. Im going to take your advice on getting rid of the repited material and getting rid of the border.
Great Feedback, ty!

Ninja's Asian Tavern delights savor sectors with a refreshing menu of Korean and Japanese fusion cuisine that includes an epic sushi bar bedecked with a bevy of vibrant nigiri, maki, and sashimi options. Lance a fresh appetizer of assorted sashimi ($10) with chopsticks before treating tummies to a chromatically dazzling Kanisu cucumber-skin roll stuffed with a choice of salmon, tuna, crabstick, eel, or the memoirs of a grizzled fisherman ($9.50). Combo plates advocating sashimi and sushi matrimony include the Chirashi which adorns a bowl of sushi rice with assorted fish-stuffed flavor tubes ($20), and the Three Musketeers, which gathers a merry band of tuna, california, and salmon rolls for a swashbuckling assault on unsuspecting taste buds ($12). Ninja's dimly lit interior boasts private party rooms, karaoke, and sleek modern décor adorned with jagged Japanese characters, glowing orbs hanging from the ceiling, and televisions tuned to the latest in sumo swing-dancing competitions.
Sushi Mentai's cooks evoke authentic flavors from Japan and Thailand with freshly made entrees, such as teriyaki chicken, Thai-style fried rice, and panang curry. At a visible workstation, meanwhile, sushi chefs slice and dice fresh seafood into 28 different types of sushi and hand rolls before topping them off with spicy mayo, cream cheese, or fresh vegetables. During the afternoon hours, they stuff bento boxes with a four-piece california roll, gyoza, and edamame for lunch on the go.
Sushi Mentai's authentic Asian touches don't stop with the food, though. Traditional red paper lanterns hover above wooden booths, illuminating cups of hot green tea or glinting off decorative statues of Buddha.
Sushi N Thai, which is open daily, brims with staff ready to adorn tables with steaming dishes of crispy, sauce-slathered thai duck ($17) or other classic Thai or Japanese dishes from its extensive dinner menu. The Beauty and the Beast roll ($10) sets tuna and eel, the star-crossed lovers of the marine world, in an ensemble of scallions, avocado, asparagus, and masago. Drunken noodles ($12) sway eaters into the slippery embrace of mixed vegetables, basil, and rice noodles sautéed with egg, and the kake udon ($10) dunks broccoli and black mushrooms in a hot bath of japanese wheat noodles. Thai curries ($13–$17), like traffic lights in heaven, can be summoned in red, green, or yellow varieties at the customer's whim.
The chefs at Go!Bento fill traditional Japanese-style bento boxes with entrees and sides from Chinese, Thai, and other Asian cuisines. Bento boxes in sizes from the petite Go! Ninja to the hearty Go! Sumo mingle pad thai, honey-garlic chicken, lo mein noodles, and steamed pot stickers. Go!Bento also riffs on hot dogs with katsu-fried franks, avocado, and spicy mayonnaise. The kitchen team coils specialty sushi rolls such as the BFF, whose circumference of tuna, salmon, and whitefish is measured in friendship bracelets. Branching out from their core competency of savory seafood, the staff also drizzles donuts with condensed milk and green-tea ice cream to round out the menu.
Moonchine Asian Bistro's lunch and dinner fare congregates the exquisite dishes and soy-sauce sensations of Vietnamese, Thai, and sushi traditions. Embark on a Southeast Asian gastro-voyage on a pontoon of crab rangoon ($6.95) before exploring the Thai-style Gang Dang red curry ($12.95)—super-charged with bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and coconut milk—or Indochine fried rice ($12.95). Sushi samplers can dabble in a variety of fish-squeezed rolls, such as the Vampire Roll ($9.95), packed with shrimp tempura, tomato, and roasted garlic to exasperate and/or melt Draculas and their ilk. Irrigate a bellyful of Asian cuisine with an appropriate libation, such as the popular Gekkeikan Cap Ace Sake ($9.50) or the Hakutsuru Sake Draft ($8.50). Banana tempura with vanilla ice cream ($6) and the fried Thai doughnut ($6) highlight the coffee and dessert menu, providing after-dinner sweet-tooth appeasement or pre-dinner appetite spoilage.
At the family-owned Sushi Room, skilled chefs from Manhattan, Miami, and Japan use fresh seafood and inventive recipes to spice up traditional Japanese dishes. The menu focuses heavily on sushi, with options ranging from standard soft shell crab and tuna rolls to the specialty mixed volcano roll, which mixes a traditional California roll with baked salmon, crab, conch, and octopus. If sushi and sashimi aren't your thing, you can choose from an extensive selection of cold and hot Japanese plates that include vegan-friendly tofu dishes. The flavorful escargot plate is simmered in sake and cabernet in a traditional toban-style ceramic skillet. Lounge in the candlelit dining room and savor sips of sake—the restaurant serves more than 20 varieties of the traditional rice wine.

Franklin County continues to keep pace with a regional economy lagging behind prior years but suffering less than the state and nation as a whole. Reduced 2009 tax and permit revenues produced a $2.2 million shortfall in the 2010 budget.
The Board of Commissioners unanimously declined to raise taxes to bridge that deficit and instead directed county spending cuts of approximately 9 percent overall; 11 percent in their own office budget.
County and Pasco city officials continue to work together to address the shortage of courtroom space and an overcrowded jail, both of which they share. A measure on the November ballot to increase the sales tax rate by 0.3 cents to fund criminal justice needs narrowly missed the 50 percent approval needed for passage. The measure would have funded badly needed expansion of court space and the county jail, as well as fund enhanced criminal justice operations.
While under consideration, no decision has been made regarding another attempt at the increase on the 2010 ballot. Voter appetite for a criminal justice tax increase may be significantly affected by state government budgets and tax increases. Moreover, a recent opinion from the Washington Department of Revenue indicates sales of many agricultural vehicles would be exempt from such a tax, further reducing available funds for criminal justice needs.
The county Planning Department issued 339 building permits in 2009, about 8 percent below the recent 10-year average. Of those, 63 were for single-family homes and 20 for newly placed manufactured homes in unincorporated areas of Franklin County. The only category to see an increase over the past 10-year average was site-built homes, which increased about 2 percent. The other 256 permits were for remodels, additions, and accessory structures, commercial and agricultural buildings.
Approximately 70 land use permits were issued for subdivisions, special permits, zoning amendments and variances, a decrease of about 23 percent over the 10-year average. At the same time, 693 business registrations were issued representing an 8 percent drop over the same period.
The county recently completed paving 28 miles of gravel roads throughout Franklin County. The roads were selected from the Franklin County Commissioners' Priority Array approved in 2006. The work included design engineering, permitting, right of way and bid preparation. Construction included minor widening, earthwork, grading, drainage, paving and other related work.
Work continues to relocate Highway 170 due to a 2006 landslide. The estimated completion date for that project is October.
Negotiations with landowners for the extension of Road 100 north to Dent Road are ongoing with no projected completion date at this time.
Commissioners also submitted 2010 funding requests to Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings for two additional road projects. The first is the extension of East Foster Wells Road east to the Pasco-Kahlotus Road, and creation of a public road access into the south end of the Juniper Dunes Recreation Area along the present Peterson Road, beginning at the Pasco-Kahlotus Road.
Road project completion is dependent on available funding. Recent increases in material costs, especially petroleum-based products, combined with reduced revenues from property and gas taxes will likely slow the pace of road work in 2010.
Road maintenance work will also focus on the widening and regravelling of existing roads. About 65 miles of existing roadways will be widened, contoured and graveled to uniform standards.
The TRAC center, like many businesses, was challenged by economic uncertainty in 2009. Nevertheless, participation in public, audience-based events was strong with revenues equal to or better than comparable 2008 activities. Meanwhile, revenue from private parties and business events declined, averaging nearly 20 percent below projected sales. Business projections for 2010 are promising, with early signs of improvement over 2009.
The county recently added an electronic advertising sign on Road 68 to improve awareness of TRAC events. Other efforts to improve TRAC performance include an updated website and a monthly electronic newsletter distributed to more than 1,500 area residents.
Franklin County's diverse economic base continues to hold up well in light of state and national economic woes. Regardless of future economic conditions, the perennial choice between raising taxes and trimming government to balance budgets will continue to challenge Franklin County as well as other state and local governments.

Hey, Faggot: While my buddy -- straight, I thought -- was out East for Xmas, I stayed at his apartment so his place wouldn't be empty. I made myself at home. I drank his beer, I ate his food, I watched his movies. I also watched his homemade pornos: him and his two girlfriends. I know it was wrong, but he said to make myself at home! They were pretty hot, not because the sex was so great, but because I knew these people.
Here's the weird part: There was a video of him curled up sucking his own dick! This one also got me excited. OK, so here's the questions: Is he gay? Is he bi? Would a straight guy do this? Is this a common ability, straight or gay, or is he one unusual dude? He doesn't know I saw his tapes.
Mr. Nosy
Hey, MN: You watched a videotape of your best friend sucking his own dick, which "excited you," and you're wondering if your buddy is gay or bi? WHAT ABOUT YOU?! You're the one getting turned on watching videos of him suck his dick, for cryin' out loud. PROJECTING much? Are you wondering if your buddy's bi, or are you hoping he is?
For the record: Sucking his own dick does not make your buddy gay, any more than jerking off makes him gay. Consider: A guy giving another guy a hand job is doing a pretty gay thing, but a guy giving himself a hand job might be doing a gay thing, and then again he might not. It depends on what he's thinking about: Is he pretending his right hand is Luke Skywalker's hairy blond butt, or Princess Leia Lipsmacker's rather more generous rear end? (Sorry -- I saw Star Wars last night.) Giving yourself a blow job doesn't make you any gayer than giving yourself a hand job. If you're alone, it's just jerkin' off, masturbation, good ol'-fashioned self-pleasurin'.
Is your pal unusual? Yes. Only those few guys out there with very limber backs and relatively long dicks can manage to suck themselves off. I will concede that a gay guy with limber/length working for him might be likelier to do this than a similarly endowed straight boy, if only because the gay boy isn't afraid that sucking his own dick is going to make him gay -- he's already gay! Straight boys, on the other hand, often let homosexual panic keep them from all sorts of sexual pleasures that they perceive as "gay." Like getting fucked in the ass, for instance. You don't have to be a gay man to enjoy getting fucked in the ass, but it seems to help.
Hey, Faggot: My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 1/2 years. The whole time it's been long-distance. He will finally be graduating from college this year, and at last we have the chance to be together. However, he wants to move to L.A. to pursue his dream of being an actor. I hate L.A., and I don't want to move there. Besides, I moved to Chicago six months ago, and I like it. Should I be offended that he doesn't want to move to Chicago and be with me? I mean, he certainly could pursue an acting career here. Or should I move to L.A.? Maybe I should forget the whole thing and take out a personal ad and find a new boyfriend. Please give me some advice I can live with.
Distantly in Love
Hey, DIL: There's no winning this one. You both have, basically, the exact same reasons why the other should give in. His position is "If you really loved me, you'd move to L.A." And your position is "If you really loved me, you'd move to Chicago." Under most circumstances, I would declare this one a draw and order you two to break up.
But in your case, I'm going to advise you to give in and move to L.A. with him. First of all, you've only been in Chicago for six months. It's not as if he's asking you to pull up deeply driven roots and move to Siberia or some other frozen wasteland far from the home you love. And, come on: If he really wants to make a living as an actor, he does need to move to L.A. Acting in Chicago has its rewards, but none of them are financial.
And here's another good reason to move to L.A. with him: Odds are good that once you get to L.A. this relationship will fall apart pretty quickly, as so many long-term, long-distance relationships do once the partners finally "have the chance to be together." When it does, you can move back to Chicago, take out personal ads, and find yourself a man with a sensible career, without wondering for the rest of your life what might have been if you'd moved to L.A. And even if you do go with him, and things work out at first, once he gets rich and famous, he'll probably dump you, become a Scientologist, and marry some piece of supermodel trash. Then you can take him for all he's worth (provided the Scientologists haven't beaten you to it), move back to sweet home Chicago, and buy yourself as many boyfriends as you can handle.

How to Replace AC Adapters:
- The AC power adapter plug for your laptop computer is not the sort of accessory that gets advertised widely, leading many people to wonder if it's possible to replace theirs if it stops working. However, AC adapters are some of the most widely purchased computer accessories and are readily available as replacement parts for most major computer brands. All you have to know is where to shop and how to look for the match to your computer
- Determine for whether your adapter really needs replacing. Try multiple outlets to rule out a wall socket problem, and examine the plug-in on your laptop to see if there's anything obviously wrong with it. You can also take your laptop to your local electronics store and see if it'll let you test your laptop with a universal adapter to see if your computer will run. The store personnel may also be able to test your old adapter for conductivity to confirm that it's broken
- Get information about a replacement adapter from the company that manufactured your laptop. Go to the manufacturer's website and look for a link to purchase accessories. They might be sold directly from the site, or there may be a link to reputable retailers who sell accesssories for your brand of laptop. If the company doesn't have an online store, call them directly and ask about the part. Make sure to find the adapter that matches your model of laptop
- Consider buying a universal power adapter. These are available at most major electronics outlets, will work for a variety of voltages, and come equipped with several sizes of plug tips to fit your computer. However, you will still want to read the packaging carefully and make sure that your computer is on the list of machines the adapter will work for. If there is no list by brand, compare the replacement to your old adapter, looking at plug tip size, DC output and AC input numbers (a universal adapter will work in a range of these numbers, rather than an exact match)
- Avoid cheap knockoffs. Expect that a good quality, it's easy to find poorly made, inexpensive adapters through online sellers, and while these may work for a few weeks, they're often made with parts that will break or burn out quickly, potentially damaging your computer as well as wasting the money you spent on the accessory

- 1 xTravel Adapter

04-29-2011- Other Thoughts: This is all you need for any one device to the extent that it is rated for universal voltage.
Most existing laptops and other electronics are this way these days but some older devices may come with a 110/240V switch so make sure that you check before you plug your device into the foreign outlet, especially if you do it into the outlet of 'higher' voltage.

04-22-2011- Other Thoughts: Works as a plug converter on both sides, meaning that you can plug in either a US, Euro or South American device on one end and the outlet you plug it into can be either of the above.
Supports both 2-prong and 3-prong US plugs.
It is NOT a voltage converter. If your device is not rated for 240V chances are it WILL be destroyed so be careful.
Amazingly, for the price, it even offers some surge protection.

04-13-2011- Other Thoughts: I purchased this converter to use with my laptop and cell phone / video camera charging. The converter itself is easy to use. It worked very well in Hong Kong because they use British style plugs. China uses the Australian type plugs. When using these plugs there is no third plug. Some circuits at upscale hotels will only work if 3 prongs are used, not just 2. When two prongs are used either in the Australian plug or the European plug, the connection is very flimsy and falls out of the socket easily. I did not have to use this much in China as the hotel I was staying at (a Mariott hotel) had several options on the wall plate that allowed me to use American plugs.

04-02-2011- Other Thoughts: Regarding power transformers: Most of Asia uses 220 - 240 Volt circuits. If all you are using are laptops and cell phone / camera charging cords, most of those will tolerate up to 240 volts. Just check the sqaure/rectangular box attached to the cord to see how much voltage it will take. If you are using hair dryer / curling iron / electric razor / etc., you will need a power transformer as these appliances typically will not take voltage over 110 (used in America for most things).

03-24-2011- Other Thoughts: I have had many an adapter. This is my first all-in-one. It performed flawlessly in the UK and Portugal, and should work everywhere. The great thing about it is that it also has reverse compatibility so that for example, a house guest from Europe could use this in your house in the US. Brilliant device!

- What is AC adapter?
It is a device which is used to convert AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current).
- What is different between AC and DC?
The difference between AC and DC is that AC is an alternating current (the amount of electrons) that flows in both directions and DC is direct current that flows in only one direction; the product that is flowing being electrons. AC power is what fuels our homes. The wires outside of our house are connected at two ends to AC generators. DC is found in batteries and solar cells. Both AC and DC employ magnets to repel electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles that are one of 3 components that make up an atom. Negative charges will repel negative charges and positive charges will repel positive charges, so one only needs to introduce a negatively charged item next to electrons to force them to move in the opposite direction. Likewise, you can attract electrons by introducing something that is positively charged into their environment drawing the electrons to it. This property of electrons is what allows for AC power to work; that is, they switch directions constantly. The picture to the left is a demonstration of AC power at work. The constant switching of directions is evident in the dotted appearance of the light lines.
- What is Adapter?
An adapter or adaptor is a device whose purpose is to convert attributes of one device or system to those of an otherwise incompatible device or system.
