Site to enlarge vs. single column mobile viewing
Some mobile web sites appear the same as the original desktop version, and users just swipe on the mobile phone screen to enlarge and scroll back and forth, other mobile sites look different from the original desktop web site and seem to be in a new design which is just a single column for mobile viewing.
What's the difference in regard to creation of each for mobile viewing?

If you do nothing special then most mobile devices will just scale down the page to fit on the screen which is why the site will look very very small. You then have to pinch and zoom to see the detail. The iphone assumes a screen width of 980px so if you have designed for 980px it scales it down reasonably well to fit 320px but if the original site is bigger then it won't fit quite so nicely.
If you don't want your site to be squashed small then you need to tell the device what you want it to do and this will involve setting meta tags in the head of the page to control the viewport size and then use media queries to completely change your content into a form suitable to fit the device - usually a one column simple layout.
It's not something you can do in a couple of seconds and usually has to be built into the design from the start for best results.

When it looks the same on the mobile screen as on the desktop (and it is too tiny to read), then the phone is viewing the same page and same css styling as the desktop. There are no adjustments being made for the smaller screen by the site.
But if the site looks better on the mobile, then:
1. You may be looking at a completely different site optimized for the small screen (perhaps a "web app") with its own URL, like http://mobile.somesite.com.
2. You may be looking at a site that has screen-detection or device-detection enabled and is showing you a revised version of the content. That is, when viewed at a certain size, different CSS kicks in, showing, hiding, or changing elements on the fly.Steve Husting

Looking at a 154 everything works fine with one exception. It has the HI LO range and none of the gears work in high range, no strange noises tractor just won't move. Possible cause? Anyone have pictures of the drivetrain?
Give this a try.

I recently had a 154 with a creeper drive. Before you tear into anything, One thing to try, turn the tractor OFF, leave the transmission in 1st gear, then pull/push the creeper drive lever out of low gear range into the "neutral" position. "Neutral" is not really a position on the creeper drive, but you will find that you can disengage the creeper if you pull/push the lever only 1/2 way. Keeping the tractor in gear and turned OFF, on flat, level solid ground (garage floor, driveway, etc.) roll/rock the tractor back and forth until you find "neutral". The tractor will not want to move/roll on the floor until you disengage the creeper and find "neutral" Then, continue pushing/pulling the lever into the high gear position while rocking the tractor back and forth, until it clunks into the high gear range position. Once again, the tractor should not want to roll any longer once you have re-engaged the creeper drive in the high position.
It is easy to find this neutral position while driving the tractor, and think that you actually have the creeper fully engaged. Trust me, I found this out the hard way. This little exercise will let you know for certain that you actually have the creeper drive in the correct position for the gear range that you want to be in.
Good luck,

Red, to get to the drive you have to split the tractor. hopefully Bill's suggestion will solve your problem.

A Chino Hills man was shot and killed by deputies following a confrontation. The San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department says it received a report of a stabbing at 7:52 p.m. Deputies responded to the house located in 15000 block of Tern Street.
Upon arriving at the scene, deputies located a male subject who was armed with knives. Sheriff's officials say the man attempted to attack deputies with the knives. Deputies were forced to fire their handguns, striking him. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
None of the deputies were injured during the incident. The case is being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Homicide Detail.

May 13, 2003
Shellman, GA-- In our fast paced world, people often don't have time to stop and smell the coffee, unless you are one of the few who start their mornings with a cup and laugh.
In tiny Shellman, Georgia where living is easy, where they have too many buildings for rent, where pick-up trucks probably outnumber the people who live there, where some people start the day by unlocking their sense of humor.
Emerson Bryson's coffee brings part of the sleepy town to life. He becomes a human alarm clock of sorts, and soon a group of friends known as the Shellman Coffee Club come for more than a cup of coffee; they come to protect themselves. "If you miss here, this crowd will talk about you. Of course, all they can say about me is something good, but I need to be here to hear it," said Harold Lumpkin, Coffee Drinker.
About once a week, they eat sausage and pancakes, with a sweet blend of friendly teasing. "Everybody is lying about everything they talk about, they are telling lies," said coffee drinker Jim Pate.
No Lie. Keith Fish moved from Washington State to Shellman "I kind of missed the one from back home. So, I just walked in an introduced myself and sat down." He's been welcome ever since.
The Shellman Coffee Club has made its rounds, starting 60 years ago in the old drug store. Then, it moved to another drug store across the street, and now into the old ice cream parlor building.
They gather every Monday through Saturday mornings at 8:00 to mix fact and fiction, with an appreciation for a simple thing in life. A good cup of coffee.
One of many consumed during their hour or so visit. Then, they move on. Emerson Bryson gets ready for the next visit, closing the door on a morning started with laughter, locking the door on a building up for rent, knowing they may have to move again, and knowing where there is coffee there is a meeting place for the Shellman Coffee Club.
A local businessman lets the club meet in the old Ice Cream Parlor building rent-free. You will find Shellman in southwestern, Georgia, about 45 miles northwest of Albany.

When you deliver a cake or cupcakes made entirely out of school supplies, you'll be sure to see a smile or two!
There is always a lengthy list of needed classroom supplies for every student when they go back to school. Why not send those supplies in style with the school supply cake? Here are the school supplies you will need:
3 square boxes of tissues
4 solid color folders
8 boxes of crayons
4 boxes of pencils
1 box of markers (8 pack)
8 bottles of glue
12 glue sticks
2 wooden rulers
rubber bands
The base of the cake is 3 boxes of tissues stacked together. Using rubber bands, wrap the folders around the Kleenex boxes. Place the crayons at the bottom and secure with a rubber band. Add the boxes of pencils on top of the crayons and attach with a rubber band. In between the pencils, you will place 2 markers at each corner of the base as shown in the photo.
Place the bottles of glue on top of the pencils. Cover the top of the base with coordinating paper. Add a dozen (or more) glue sticks to the top of the base, securing the glue sticks with a rubber band. Slide the rulers into the corners so they are under the rubber band that is securing the pencils.
Now for the fun part: decorating your cake! You can use coordinating cardstock and patterned paper to cover the rubber bands that are used to hold the supplies in place. Using the chalkboard paper was a fun addition to keeping with the school theme.
To add the banner to the rulers, punch the banner out of cardstock and attach your sentiment with chalk (as shown) or possibly with alphabet stickers.
Want the same effect, but on a smaller scale? Try making school supply cupcakes instead!
With a little twist on the school supply cake, you can create cupcakes with just a few supplies and lots of creativity. These gifts are perfect for school office staff, teachers, and students!
To create the cupcakes, the school supplies that were used:
Post-it notes
Jar of paper clips
Pencil erasers
Cellophane bag
Stack the supplies as shown in the photo. Place the pencil erasers in a small plastic bag and tie the end with a rubber band. Place the bag of erasers on top of the stack of supplies. (This will give the cupcake the look of sprinkles.) Place all the stacked supplies in a cellophane bag and tie with ribbon at the top.
To decorate the cupcakes use cardstock or patterned paper to create the cupcake liner. Place around the school supplies. Decorate with printed paper or decorative paper as shown. Attach a sentiment using a scallop circle punch. Again, the chalkboard cardstock was the perfect addition to this school-themed project.
Cardstock – Bazzill
Corrugated Stack – DCWV
Chalkboard Cardstock – DCWV

Cinematical missed the fest this year (though we did manage to notice their interesting choice to honor Spike Lee), but we figured we'd tell you about the results.
The grand prize for a US feature -- a handsome ten grand plus a lot of expensive film stock from Kodak -- went to Scott Hamilton Kennedy (2002's OT: Our Town) for The Garden. The movie told the story of the South Central Farm -- a 14-acre community garden that sprung up at the site of the 1992 LA Riots. Kennedy chronicles the farmers' battle with landlords, the city of Los Angeles, and the courts.
The equivalent grand prize for a "world" feature, given out for the first time, went to The English Surgeon, which told the story of a British doctor who spends several weeks every year performing brain surgeries in the Ukraine with crude tools, in an effort to save lives and pass on his knowledge to local surgeons. I remember that a similar documentary -- Flying on One Engine -- played SXSW this year but fell off my schedule at the last minute. A doc that actually did play SXSW, Throw Down Your Heart (about banjo player Bela Fleck and his journey through Africa), won Silverdocs' Music Documentary Award.
For a full list of winners, check out the festival's website. Silverdocs award winners have historically received at least some sort of US release -- in the past, Jesus Camp and Darwin's Nightmare took home prizes -- so look out for these two in the months to come.

We have been collecting some amazing soap stories over the last few years, but the ones below are more impressive than most:
"For several years now I have been putting a bar of soap in my bed under the top sheet for leg cramps. This works almost immediately and the cramps are gone.
"You and your readers might find this hard to believe but it is true. For almost a year now, I have had severe pain in my left leg from my waist to my ankle and this is only at night (an MRI indicated bursitis). Most nights I would have to get up between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. and get in my recliner because the pain kept me from sleeping.
"Late one night when the pain was so bad, I thought about the soap and wondered if it could possibly help with the pain. I put a bar of soap next to the hip/thigh area where the pain started and within minutes the pain stopped! I couldn't believe it!
"For several months now, I have done this every night and can finally get a good night's sleep with NO PAIN! I told a friend who has back and hip pain about this and he tried it and was surprised when it worked for him, too. It's hard to believe this works but my husband is my witness."
Thank you,
Lynda H.
"For some reason, for the last two years my knees have ached terribly when I lie down in bed. I have NO pain at all when standing, walking or sitting - just lying down. I figure it's some kind of arthritis, but really don't know what is causing it.
"Your soap remedy kept popping up in your newsletter, so six months ago I finally decided to try it for my knees. It was amazing! In one night, the pain was totally gone.
"On vacation, I spent a few nights in another bed with no soap & guess what - knees ached again. So I bring my soap with me now. I replace it every time I need a new bar in the shower.
"I won't leave home or sleep without it! Thank you for all your wonderful tips!"
"I read your column about putting a bar of soap under sheet for leg cramps. I suffer from restless leg syndrome in one leg only, usually when I am very tired. Nothing helps. I have tried calcium, stretching, etc. I just have to wait it out.
"Recently during one episode, I remembered the soap and thought if it helped cramps, it might help RLS. I was sitting in my recliner, so I took a piece of bath soap, put it in a sock, and put it on my foot with the twitches. It worked! I now use my 'soap sock' regularly when I feel the least tingle of RLS."
"A friend of my daughter's suggested putting a bar of soap in my sock before going to bed at night. Needless to say I was VERY skeptical! I've been suffering from heel spurs to the point of barely being able to walk.
"My podiatrist prescribed Mobic and a shot which has had no effect. So....I tried the silly bar of soap. I woke up with a very slight amount of pain. Had I not tried it, I would have NEVER believed it!
"I'm going to be sleeping with soap from now on. What do I have to lose? Pain! Try it!"
"How do you keep a bar of soap in your socks and not have it become uncomfortable? How can you keep soap in along with your foot? I am asking because I have heel pain and am trying for heels (both feet) not to hurt."
This is precisely why we created/designed "Leg Soap." These small-sized soap chips fit comfortably inside socks. No smashing, shaving or crushing soap is necessary. Just pull a soap chip or two out of our box and away you go...to sleep, on a walk, during a car or airplane trip. You will also discover a "flat" bar of soap we call "Bed Soap" that is not uncomfortable in bed with you.
Here is a link to "Leg Soap" and "Bed Soap":
Have you experienced any relief from soap for your bursitis, leg cramps, arthritis pain or restless leg syndrome (RLS)? Has soap been an abysmal failure?
We would love to hear your story regardless. Share your comment below.

Student Responsibilities
Distance Education
Each week begins Monday (12:00 AM) morning and ends on Sunday (11:59 PM) night. It is the responsibility of all online students or residential students taking online courses to access a functional computer on a weekly basis. If home computer issues occur, you must find time to access a functional computer on campus or in another location. Late policies will not be waived due to home computer issues.
You must be prepared for class. It is your responsibility to have your course materials prior to the start of class. This also extends to computer requirements; software and hardware related. These would typically be:
· Class-related Textbooks
· Microsoft Office Suite (2003, 2007, 2010)
· Working Internet Connection
eCollege System and Browser Specifications:
We recommend setting your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels. If you currently see a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of your screen and would like to eliminate this, you can do so by resizing your screen. To adjust your resolution:
For Windows:
For Macintosh:
If a browser is not listed below it has not been tested on the online platform. A user risks running into problems with the course software if they choose to use a non-supported browser. Browsers listed below have been validated with the course platform.
It is the responsibility of all students to read the announcements and syllabus prior to completing or submitting any assignments. It is vital to your success in the online environment to know your instructor's expectations prior to turning in any coursework.
Initial discussion posts are always due by Wednesday at 11:59 PM. All other assignments are due Sunday at 11:59 PM. These guidelines are strictly enforced. You are responsible for managing your own time.
Students are expected to turn in assignments on time and in the format stipulated by instructors, to participate in class discussions, and to prepare for quizzes and exams.
Typically, discussions will be worth 30% of your overall grade in the online environment. There may be a few exceptions to this rule, but otherwise, it is universal in all courses. They are considered class participation and must be completed during the week they are assigned. It is your responsibility to meet these deadlines.
Plagiarism is taken very seriously in the online environment. A first occurrence of academic dishonesty will result in a zero for that assignment. A second offense will be brought to the Director of Education for further disciplinary action that may result in failing the course. It is your responsibility to cite your sources and complete your coursework in a professional and academically honest manner.

Report: Woodlands under threat from disease
England may be known as a green and pleasant land - but our woodland has been under threat in recent years from bugs and diseases which have been killing our trees. And according to people at a forestry conference held in the region, there could be more bad news to come.
More than 100,000 ash trees were destroyed last year in an attempt to stop the spread of Ash dieback. But now larch, pine and even oak trees may be affected by different problems.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

EMS Divergence Jacket
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I absolutely love my Divergence, for both hiking in…
Fabric: Polartec Wind Pro
Price Paid: $103
I absolutely love my Divergence, for both hiking in the mountains and around town. At 5'10" and ~200 lbs I wear a medium. It moves well with me, and offers incredible warmth to weight and no bulk.
I wish it had pit zips, which is the reason for 4.5 instead of 5 stars. With just a heavy (EMS T3) baselayer underneath, it was warm enough hiking in 15F (with no wind) that I needed to unzip to midchest. The wind stopping ability is great, not perfect. For high winds in frigid temperatures I would layer a nylon shell. I actually prefer it to Gore Windstopper because of the amazing breathability and feel.
Snow will stick, but unless it's really wet you're fine; it dries amazingly fast, especially near any external heat source like a camp fire. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

The one thing I was surprised with was the fact that the top platform is actually a hole, so it's essence it's really only half a platform. You can't tell that from the picture. I think that's a little odd seeing how the child has to climb up there to get to the slide. They have to step over this gian hole or they fall through to the bottom. Not a very good design for small toddlers.
Combining their responsibility to the community and their desire to be environmentally conscious, they have a program to reduce (or better yet, re-use) what they would normally dispose of... Early Childhood Resources has eliminated almost all of their cardboard waste by implementing commercial cardboard shredding equipment in its facilities to convert cardboard destined for the landfill into some of the best packing material available.
Competition typically demands lower costs and with it, labor intense jobs are being exported faster and faster every year. Early Childhood Resources, being committed to "Maximum Value," balances the demands from the marketplace with the practicality and social values of finding ways to maximize the capabilities of those in our community with developmental disabilities, and want to work! The program provides a stimulating and developmentally enriching environment. These individuals gain valuable social and work skills while earning competitive wages, and creating "Maximum Value" in their products.

It's been somewhat common knowledge that the Arizona Cardinals will interview Jay Gruden this coming week, but hasn't been confirmed by the team.
That confirmation has come.
According to the Arizona Cardinals website, the team has confirmed that they're interviewing Gruden this week. He joins a candidacy that includes Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and defensive coordinator Ray Horton with former Chiefs head coach and current Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley being attached.
Last year Gruden was a candidate for several head coaching vacancies but declined interviews.

This was our second cruise on Royal, and I have to say it is so evident that the company is cutting many corners. We stayed in a suite, but parts of my family were booked in balcony cabins. We were given small bottles of shampoo,etc in our bathroom, they were not. We got chocolates at night (when they didn't run out), the balcony cabins did not. I never received the usual port information sheets in my cabin, and what happened to the daily newspaper (New YORK TIMES SUMMARY)? The Internet service was the worst at sea I have ever experienced, and Royal did not have anyone on board staffing the Internet Cafe. They charged for a service that never worked, and didn't seem to care one way or another.
I think Royal Caribbean has a towel fetish. If you wanted a towel at the pool you had to check one out with your room card & return it or risk being charged $20 for a lousy towel. The pool was closed on the last day at sea, since the weather was so bad. No one at guest relations knew how to credit passengers for towels they had neglected to return the day before.
The food was ordinary, and at times served cold when it should have been piping hot. The service at the Windjammer was horrible, to say the least. The food was always cold and soggy. There were never enough tables and as a result, the manager was constantly making announcements asking passengers to vacate their tables when they finished eating. I felt like I was in a high school cafeteria, not on a luxury vacation. The Explorer needs to open more buffet lines in the main dining room for lunch & dinner, or perhaps serve a buffet on the pool deck in nice weather.
If you want a fun meal, go to Johnny Rockets. The wait staff in there are the best on the ship! Half way through the meal they will entertain you with song & dance. They are great with the kids. It is the only venue where you can eat outside on the deck, a real plus.
The Portofino restaurant was a great experience, and well worth the extra fees. My family enjoyed the production shows & the Ice Skating show. The magician show was a poor choice for a last night on the cruise. Royal should re-think that act.
Our cabin attendant, Rikka, was excellent. she was very professional and tried very hard to please us. We loved our suite accommodations, and would recommend booking a suite on this ship. The amenities come in handy. My one complaint, the TVs are old and the TV service is outdated. Celebrity offers free movies on their TV service. Royal offers nothing on their TV service (when it works).
We had a nice time on this vacation. We loved the beach excursion from Samana ---we went to CAyo Levantodo. It was one of the nicest beaches I have ever been to. It was nicer than Labadee, which again was very crowded and disorganized due to lack of help. The food lines were too long, and there were not enough places to sit.The lines to re-board the ship were of people hundreds long. We didn't board until one hour after the all aboard time because everyone waited until the very last second to get back on the ship.
Megan's bay Beach in St Thomas was nice, but the excursion offered was too short (3 hours). The ship docked in San Juan at 4:30pm. This was a disappointment because it left little time to explore the beaches in this Island.
My last comment centers around the cigarette smoke, which pours out of the casino into adjacent & surrounding areas. I never entered the casino because the smoke is offensive to me. My suggestion to Royal, is that they close off the casino with doors and windows to keep the smoke out of the other public areas. Let the smoke stay where it originates and not bother the non-smokers.

INTERPOL and the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) today announced the 122nd victim identification following Typhoon Frank during which an estimated 1,330 people lost their lives, including 820 passengers and crew from the Princess of the Stars ferry.The Disaster Victim Identification teams in Cebu City, made up of experts from the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), ICMP and INTERPOL and its member countries from around the world, announced 34 new identifications today - all made utilizing the most modern DNA-matching techniques at the ICMP.
The current total of 122 DNA-assisted identifications is more than double the target of 10 per week set by the NBI, INTERPOL and ICMP on August 17 when the first DNA-identified victims were returned to their families. (more…)

PEABODY — A 75-year-old man was transported to Salem Hospital with significant injuries yesterday afternoon after he was struck outside his house by a vehicle that fled the scene, police say.
The victim, identified as William Story of 25 Roycroft Road, was washing his car outside his residence around noon when he went into the roadway for some reason and was struck from behind, Lt. Arthur Yeo said.
Story was alert and conscious when emergency personnel arrived at the scene but had sustained a large laceration to his head. His injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, and a Salem Hospital representative said he had already been discharged last night.
The vehicle that struck him — described as a green Maxima — was later located by police at the Motel 6 in Danvers, but the suspect had left that scene, too, apparently fleeing in a red 2008 Toyota Camry. A be-on-the-lookout alert was issued throughout the region, and the state police's crime unit responded to process the vehicle.
Yeo said that police believe they know the identity of the driver and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

There's so much to be determined with the draft one day away.
The Finals could end two days before the NBA Draft. That's going to make trading Iguodala pre-draft difficult.

Sales of Windows-based tablets in Japan have been rising as vendors have been aggressively releasing Windows 8.1-based 8-inch models since October 2013. In February 2014, 15.7% of Japan's tablet sales were contributed by Windows-based models, up significantly from a year ago and also larger than the Windows tablet's share of 2% in the worldwide tablet market, according to figures from Japan-based BCN.
With Windows tablets gaining market share, Japan's tablet market is expected to see a more balanced development, but competition between iOS, Android and Windows will remain keen in 2014, Digitimes Research believes.
In 2013, Apple still dominated Japan's tablet market, followed by Asustek Computer (Android). Microsoft, Amazon and Sony were the third to fifth largest vendors. While Amazon and Sony have been in Japan's tablet market for a while, Microsoft's surge to the third position shows that demand for its Surface tablets have been rising strong in Japan.
Microsoft's second-generation Surface tablets are enjoying strong sales in Japan, but four out of its nine versions (two for the consumer market and two for the enterprise market) have been suffering from shortages in the country due to the software giant's misjudgment on related demand.
The shortages also caused Microsoft to miss out on business opportunities from Japan's year-end shopping season in 2013.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
Your recent editorial on the sky-high cost of college nowadays and the need to reduce student loans was a welcome focus on a nationwide problem; certainly many of our own young people are facing (or will face) the dreadful reality of bending the energies of their most vital years to paying off unconscionable debts. The whole situation is rotten. Thank you for tackling it.
That said, here are a few questions that occurred to me. Why have college costs, over the past four decades, risen so much higher than other aspects of the economy? When did this awful gap start to happen? I find that the current glib answer, "market forces," does not make sense. "Market forces," whatever those may be, do not make decisions: people do.
My own musing on these questions may be half-baked, but I'll proffer it in lieu of anything better. To the best of my recollections, the cost of a college education began to skyrocket shortly after the student uprising against the Vietnam War, the campus takeovers, the shootings (of students) at Kent State, etc. in the '60s. Did it then become public policy to make college financially feasible only for the offspring of the well-off? Such young people, after all, have little reason to demonstrate against a "system" that is strongly favorable to them. And it's obvious that, if the scions of the unwealthy who do manage to get through college have to take out massive student loans, they will be too loaded with debt for years to come to indulge in any sideline activities, such as protesting injustices, that might conceivably improve our system of government or our way of life, thereby imperiling those who profit from our current blasphemous financial inequities.
My next question is, how do you define college? Is it a multi-year course of study that teaches young people how to live a meaningful life; how to use their minds; what a glorious diversity stretches all around us every day, from subatomic particles to the millions of galaxies in outer space; what comprises the best that has ever been done, thought or expressed on our planet? Or is it a trade school, which cranks out individuals narrowly equipped only to earn a living in one specific and limited way?
I have to ask this because, immediately on graduating from a fine liberal arts college, I took a "slog job" just to keep going until I had sorted out what sort of work I was good at and could best pursue for my own benefit and that of others. Most of my friends did the same thing, and we ended up pretty well. But of course, we did not have college loans to pay off. My tuition at Boston University was $400 a year.
Hey, somebody — do something to help these kids!

Tinker Bell's Fairy Wings Cake
Adorned with candy swirls and frosting roses, this party cake fashioned after Tink's dainty wings will have fairy fans all a flutter.
You'll need:
- Template for Tinker Bell Wings Cake
- Scissors
- Tape
- White or yellow cake baked in 9- by 13-inch pan
- Kitchen knife
- Frosting (white for the cake top and green for the sides)*
- Spatula or knife for frosting the cake
- Green sugar pearls (found in the baking aisle of the grocery or craft store) or other small green candies
- Icing roses or other flowers (found in the baking aisle of the grocery or craft store)
- Green decorating icing with leaf tip (optional)
* Note: Homemade frosting or decorating frosting works best for this cake. Most readymade creamy varieties will not harden and therefore aren't effective in sealing in the crumbs along the cut edges of the cake. If you prefer readymade frosting, you can try stirring in some confectioners sugar to stiffen it up..
1. Using the serrated kitchen knife (a bread knife works well for this), level the cake by carefully slicing off the domed portion of the top. Then place the cake, cut side down, onto a wax paper-covered piece of cardboard.
2. Print the template. Cut out the pieces and tape them together, as shown, so that they overlap just slightly. Place the completed template atop the cake and use a kitchen knife to cut through the cake along the paper edge, as shown.
3. Spread an initial coat of frosting, just thick enough to seal in the crumbs, on the two assembled cake pieces. Chill the cake for 30 minutes to harden the frosting.
4. Carefully lift the wax paper on both sides of the cake and transfer it to a cake board or large serving tray. With the wax paper still in place, spread on a second coat of frosting and smooth the surface with your spatula. Use a damp paper towel to carefully wipe any excess frosting and crumbs from the wax paper around the perimeter of the cake. Then you can trim the paper close to the cake edge, if you like.
5. Now you can decorate the cake top with icing roses, piped-on leaves, and pretty sugar pearl swirls.

Mercedes-Benz is planning to build an automotive parts staging facility in Vance that will employ about 500 people.
The Tuscaloosa News reports (http://bit.ly/ZRcc4D) that site preparation for the 900,000-square-foot facility has begun at Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, the German automaker's plant near Tuscaloosa.
Mercedes officials said Thursday that they expect to have the $70-million facility in operation by February 2014.
The 500 new jobs there will be in addition to about 1,000 jobs that Mercedes will add soon for production of its C-Class sedans in Vance. Mercedes now has nearly 3,000 employees at the Vance auto production facility.

Lost property will be given away to needy children
Transport for London is making it a Christmas to remember with what Londoners forget.
Who hasn't accidentally left something behind when they've got off the Tube or a bus?
Well, among those hundreds of thousands of lost items are brand new toys.
And now some of them will become Christmas treats for lucky children.

"We loved it, see why others wouldn't"Sep 01, 2014
Reviewed May 30, 2013 NEW
While I don't agree with any of the low reviews, I can see where they are coming from. This resort does have some points to keep in mind, so know what you're getting:
*It's in the wilderness, and wildlife is going to be everywhere. Bring bug spray.
*It's a longish drive from the resort entrance to the rooms – getting out takes a while.
*You'll want a car to get places if you can't bother waiting for the shuttle.
That said, we absolutely LOVED it here. There is wildlife everywhere, and it's incredible. We saw wild Macaws flying around constantly, beautiful toucans, and of course the coatis and monkeys. Breakfast was a daily highlight, with a massive buffet of delicious foods served in the open-air restaurant. But the entertainment was great, as dozens of wild monkeys and coatis arrived to try to scavenge your food. We drank coffee for over an hour and enjoyed the incredible opportunity to see nature up close.
Our original plans to drive into Jaco each day changed once we saw just how long the trip back to the resort gates took, but we were perfectly happy staying on property, and enjoying the great beaches and walking trails. No complaints about food or service, we were very happy.
The morning bird hike with Alex is an absolute must do – he's a gem of an employee and a true ambassador for the resort. We will recommend Punta Leona to any friends who plan a trip to CR, and Alex was a big reason why.
The complaints about needing a car, and noisy wildlife everywhere are true of the resort, but I don't see the car thing as a dealbreaker, and the wildlife is a plus in our eyes. The room was great and the beds were comfortable, and there was incredible sights for us to enjoy all throughout our 3 day trip. It's not the Four Seasons – if that's what you NEED to enjoy travel in a foreign country, you'll be disappointed. If you're ready for an adventure with great service and amenities, this is the place!

There was a hint of autumn in the air last week. A sure sign that summer is on borrowed time.
What you won't find in the air this coming Labor Day weekend, however, are the sights and sounds of the Blue Angels soaring over the city's skyline.
Earlier this year, the Angels opted out of air shows in Cleveland and across the country. All part of the so-called government sequester and budget slashing at the Pentagon. Yes, grounding the jets did save taxpayers $17 million dollars. But hey that's a drop in the Navy's $156-million bucket.
Well, we hope it was worth it. The cutbacks cost the Pentagon a major recruiting tool. For Cleveland, it's a $6 million dollar economic hit. And, for its residents, a favorite end-of-summer attraction.
The government's refusal to allow military involvement in air shows across the country was a political decision from the start, not a practical one, and it was misguided.
Write and let me know what you think. I'm Bill Applegate.

Geographic Area Project Groups, subcommittees of the Clackamas County Transportation System Plan (TSP) Public Advisory Committee, will begin meeting the week of June 18 to identify transportation needs and possible solutions in unincorporated Clackamas County.
Because of the large size of the County (more than 1,800 square miles), five separate groups are being established to focus on different portions of the county. Each group will include members of the TSP Public Advisory Committee, and community and business representatives.
The first meeting of each group will focus on existing and projected transportation system conditions, and gaps or deficiencies. Future meetings will focus on specific projects to meet transportation system needs in the area. By early fall, the groups are scheduled to report back to the TSP PAC on what transportation projects to include in the next 20-year Clackamas County Transportation System Plan.
The five geographic working groups and their initial meeting dates and locations are as follows:
- Greater Clackamas Regional Center/Industrial Area - Monday, June 18, 7:30-9:30 a.m.; Development Services Bldg., 150 Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City
- Greater McLoughlin Area - Monday, June 18, 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Development Services Bldg., 150 Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City
- Northwest County Area - Wednesday, June 20, 2-4 p.m.; Development Services Bldg., 150 Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City
- Southwest County Area - Wednesday, June 20, 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Molalla Adult Community Center, 315 Kennel Ave., Molalla

These meetings are part of the 18-month TSP update process, to review and update plans and policies for various forms of transportation – roads, transit, walking, bicycling, rail, air, freight, waterways and pipelines – in unincorporated Clackamas County. When complete in 2013, the TSP will specify priority transportation projects for the next 20 years and address funding issues.
