Construction on the new Gettysburg Area Middle School remains on schedule despite recent snowfalls and bouts of bad weather, said officials on Monday.
"We are optimistic," said Rick Shank, project superintendent of Quandel Group Inc., the construction management company in charge of the $36.5 million project.
Despite the snow and mud, crews are now beginning work on the foundation and starting to pour concrete, Shank said. This comes after extensive erosion and sediment controls were set up along the outskirts of the property to protect the nearby battlefield and East Cemetery Hill region from dirt and mud runoff from the construction project.
"It looks like we are close to the battlefield, but that's because we are still moving things around," Shank said, explaining that the new building itself will not run up right along East Confederate Avenue and the Gettysburg National Military Park, even though equipment is currently assembled there. Erosion barriers are temporarily set up there and a retention pond and playing field are also expected to occupy the space. The project first began in August with the demolition of the Keefauver Center, once used as an elementary school, on Lefever Street. Construction began Oct. 1 and is expected to be complete by the summer of 2014 so that the new school is ready to open for the 2014-2015 school year. After the transfer is made, the old middle school will be demolished. Once complete, the new roughly 187,000-square-foot structure will include a gymnasium, auxiliary gymnasium, library/media center with state-of-the-art electronic resources, and two multipurpose playing fields. Also included will be specialized classroom space and labs for special education, learning support, gifted support, family and consumer sciences, technology education, practical arts, and visual and performance arts.
"We had the teachers of these subjects sit down with the design team to help decide where equipment will be placed and to provide for a safe learning environment," said Gettysburg Area School District superintendent Larry Redding. The new building will also enhance the middle school's teaming concept, which aims to group together core classes for each grade level around one physical location.
"This will provide a resource for students and give teachers a way to monitor and help their students," Redding said.
The current building is not designed around this team concept. For example, all of the science classrooms, said Redding, are grouped into one wing of the building, which means that those teachers are less likely to be brought into cohesive team lessons across subject lines.
"This will be corrected in the new building," Redding said.

Eric in OH
I absolutely love this helmet, I got it in the jag black and neon graphic and it looks wicked. I've already had a ton of compliments on the color scheme. The attention to detail is top notch inside and outside. This helmet is extremely comfortable, great air flow and the drop down sun visor and inflatable cheek pads are a very nice addition. I rode in 40 degree weather already and no fogging issues whatsoever, also wind noise is very minimal. Overall I'm very happy with this helmet. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good all around helmet. I would like to note they do seem to run a little small in sizing. I had to get an xl while all my other helmets have been large.Read All Reviews

I have wanted these gloves for a while, but kept looking locally. As we all know, gloves can be hit or miss in sizing. I finally gave in and ordered them. Pardon the pun, but they fit like a glove. Very comfortable, and amazing air flow. Great feel, and flexibility! I would definitely recommend them to others in the market for a warm weather glove!Read All Reviews
James in NV
My only complaint is it pushes on your cheeks pretty good, my jaw was sore after an hour right... Maybe I am just fat! Other than that great venting options in the front, top and rear. Some noise but get over it! Earbuds will fit nicely.Read All Reviews

This is a very comfortable well fitting product. The padding is right where it needs to be and functions very well. It looks amazing and feels good when riding down the highway whether in colder or warmer temps.Read All Reviews

My wife loves her Scorpion jacket. From the design, the graphics, the colors to fit and function it is worth every penny we paid for it, thank you Scorpion. For the quality of the jacket, the price I bought it for was a steal! Thank you Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.Com, you rock!Read All Reviews

School Lunches . . . Help!
September 16, 2006 by Becky
Filed under Morning Show
If you've got children in school you may be figuring systems that work for you and your family to make things as smooth as possible. My 3 year old and 4 1/2 year old are back in preschool again, and I had forgotten how "extra" busy my evenings are just trying to get them ready for school the next morning.
My biggest challenge by far thus far is packing their lunches. I've googled "healthy easy (being the operative word here) school lunches and have seen a bunch of great sites on the topic, but I'd love to hear what works for your family. In the meantime, happy packing!!

Celestial Seasonings Nutcracker Sweet Holiday Herb Tea 20 Tea Bags
Celestial Seasonings Nutcracker Sweet Holiday Herb Tea is an irresistibly simple blend of fine black teas made more festive with creamy, nutty vanilla and just a pinch of cinnamon. A decadent-yet-healthy treat, this delightful tea captures the magic of the world's favorite ballet, The Nutcracker , which has been synonymous with holiday cheer for more than 100 years.
While touring Celestial Seasonings' tea production facility, 11-year-old Danielle Ballard – an aspiring ballerina with a passion for The Nutcracker – left her idea for a tea called "Nutcracker Sweet" in their suggestion box. It was a great idea, and they made it into a great tea. Danielle's an adult now, but the tea she inspired many years ago is still helping to make the holidays a little more special.
This product contains all-natural ingredients and flavors, and no artificial colors or preservatives.
Celestial Seasonings' handcrafted, all-natural Holiday Teas are a perfect way to share the warmth of the season with family and friends. With treasured holiday flavors like gingerbread, sugar plums and candy canes, this collection of five festive and aromatic blends captures the essence of this joyous time of year. Featuring beautiful packages adorned with seasonal images that tell the story of the goodness found inside the box, Celestial Seasonings Holiday Teas make a great stocking stuffer for anyone who appreciates the gift of good health and great flavor.
Celestian Seasonings Tea:
In 1969, a group of passionate young entrepreneurs founded Celestial Seasonings upon the belief that their flavorful, all-natural herbal teas could help people live healthier lives. They harvested fresh herbs from the Rocky Mountains by hand, and then dried, blended and packaged them in hand-sewn muslin bags to be sold at local health food stores. By staying committed to their vision, the founders of Celestial Seasonings turned their cottage industry into an almost overnight success.
Today, Celestial Seasonings is the largest specialty tea manufacturer in North America. They serve more than 1.6 billion cups of tea every year, and source more than 100 different ingredients from over 35 countries to create their delicious, all-natural herbal, green, red, white, chai and wellness teas. But most importantly, they're still about people and passion.
Hot Tea By the Cup
Pour freshly boiled water over one tea bag. Steep 4 to 6 minutesand remove tea bag. Sweeten if desired.
Iced Tea By The Pitcher

Lance Berkman will have knee surgery on Tuesday and is done for the season, according to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com.
Berkman has been troubled by knee pain all season long, after having surgery on his right knee three and a half months ago. The veteran flew to Houston on Monday to have his knee examined by the same doctor that performed the surgery, which obviously resulted in some bad news.
Berkman has made just one start since Aug. 3 and has played in just 31 games all season long. The 36-year-old was hitting .263 with two home runs and seven RBIs this season, having attempted to play through the pain following the surgery on his knee.
He played 37 games for the New York Yankees in 2010, following a mid-season trade from Houston. Berkman was considered one of the top players in baseball in 2011 after signing with the Cardinals, hitting .301 with 21 home runs and 94 RBIs with a .959 OPS, his best since the 2006 season.
For more on the St. Louis Cardinals and Berkman, be sure to check out Viva El Birdos and SB Nation St. Louis.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio's treasurer is expected to announce Monday that the state will drop its business with two banks over concerns the institutions may have manipulated foreign exchange rates charged to four of the state's pension funds, potentially costing beneficiaries millions of dollars.
State Street Corp. and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. provide foreign investment services to their client pension funds. Combined, the banks hold roughly $41 billion of the pensions' international asset.
Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel will select new banks to handle the funds on Monday, his spokesman said.
The custodial banks typically handle foreign currency transactions on international investments on behalf of their client pension funds.
In June, Mandel asked the state's attorney general to investigate whether the banks engaged in improper currency-trading practices "to maximize the banks' profits, at the expense of Ohio public servants, businesses and taxpayers."
Attorney General Mike DeWine last week filed a lawsuit against BNY Mellon, alleging fraud, deceptive trade practices and other misdeeds in the handling of the state's retirement funds for police officers, firefighters and school employees.
State investigators say the funds were overcharged when the bank improperly used exchange rates most favorable to the bank to convert U.S. funds into foreign currency for stock purchases.
The School Employees Retirement System of Ohio and the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund are seeking damages in excess of $16 million for losses the state alleges were incurred by the funds as a result of BNY Mellon's practices.
Kevin Heine, a spokesman for BNY Mellon, said Monday the company was disappointed by the treasurer's action because "we believe we have provided the state with valuable services at competitive prices."
Heine said the state's lawsuit "recycles baseless allegations."
"We are confident we are right on the facts and the law," he said.
The attorney general's office is continuing to review State Street's foreign currency practices, a DeWine spokeswoman said.
A message seeking comment was left at State Street.

Legal Ethics
Lawyer Must Pay $1.5M Verdict for Affair With Client's Wife
Posted Aug 19, 2008 9:47 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Solo practitioner Ronald Henry Pierce of Mississippi will have to pay a $1.5 million verdict against him for having an affair with a client's wife, the Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled.
The court affirmed the verdict for intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract and alienation of affection in an Aug. 14 opinion (PDF), the National Law Journal (sub. req.) reports.
Ernest Allan Cook and his wife, Kathleen, had hired Pierce to represent them and their son in a medical malpractice case in 1997. At the time, Pierce was practicing law in an Oxford firm, but it later disbanded and Pierce moved his practice in Pearl.
Pierce had an affair with Kathleen after her husband moved to California in 2000, the opinion says. The Cooks later divorced, and Pierce married Kathleen. Ernest Cook sued Pierce in 2002.
Pierce told the National Law Journal he expected to lose the case because he wasn't allowed to present oral argument on appeal. "I knew I was going to get screwed," he said. He plans to file a motion to reconsider.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Early voting has begun for Ohio's November 5 election, but residents can still register to vote.
Registration is open until 9 p.m. on Tuesday. Early voting began on October 1.
In Henry County, about 30 people have already cast a ballot. Leaders say they expect business to pick up in the coming weeks.
"It will start to pick up the last two weeks of voting, that will really make a difference. I think you will start to hear more ads on the radio and more signs, more awareness will be out there... You'll have the door to door campaigning going on I think that will really be a push," said Henry County Board of Elections Director Sandy Kurtz.
For more information on how to register to vote, or vote early, contact your county board of elections.

Mariposa Women's Stage Race coming up!
Women Racers,
Don't forget to sign up for the Mariposa Women's Stage Race coming up May 11-13!
The race flyer is here: http://velopromo.com/mari-ent.htm
And registration is here: https://www.bikereg.com/Net/15832
This is the same race as the Kern County Women's Stage Race but it has been moved. The overall format is the same. But it is much closer than it was before. And much cooler! The average high in Mariposa for the month of May is 78!
So if you've done Kern before but it was too far to go or too hot, come on back and try it again!
If you've never raced Kern, give it a try! The racing is hard, but the vibe is awesome! Prizes are cash, plus everyone in the past has always received a shirt (usually nicer than the average bike race t-shirt) for finishing. And there are special awards hand-made by Robert Leibold.
This is a unique race that we are lucky to have here in Norcal. I don't know of any other event for women that is like it across the country. There are categories for everyone--separate 1/2, 3s, 4s, 35+, 45+, and 55+.
We need your support for this race both to make it keep happening, but also to make the racing challenging and fun!
See you there!

W4-Flooding when starting
The McCormick Deering W4 I have must be flooded in order to start every time I use it. I have to leave the choke closed and crank it for 10 sec, then let the flooded carb drain off excess fuel and then after taking the choke off it will then start and stay running. This is the only way it will start. Does anybody have any advice as to what is wrong? Any help you be greatly appreciated.
Re: W4-Flooding when starting
First thing I'd be looking for is a vacuum leak from bad gaskets or a damaged intake manifold. Poor compression and valves that are out of adjustment or burned are other possibilities.
Re: W4-Flooding when starting
I will definitely look into what you mentioned. It also sputters and pops when I rapidly throttle up. Not sure if the same issue is causing both problems. Only positive side is that it never smokes or burns any oil. Thanks for the reply.
Re: W4-Flooding when starting
Run a compression test, a leaking intake valve can cause all the symptoms you've mentioned.
Re: W4-Flooding when starting
Awesome, thank you for the replies now I have somewhere to start looking. haha

Lynchburg, VA - Liberty University is planning to lower Ivy Lake's water level before it starts repairs on a deficient dam.
They were supposed to start draining Saturday, but wanted to give property owners more time to move their boats.
The project could cost about $1 million.
The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation says the dam's spillway capacity can't handle a large storm event, labeling it as a "high hazard."
Marty Giudice had to row his boat ashore.
"This is the first time in 23 years that this boat has been out of the lake," Giudice said.
Marty's neighbors on Ivy Lake have just a few hours left to do the same.

targetAPI PCP API OVERVIEW
The targetAPI PCP (Predictive Content Personalization) Service API is a way for other organizations to use targetAPI's personalization and recommendation technology. It is offered as a hosted Web Service: targetAPI operates servers that provide these functions, and customers' servers talk to targetAPI servers to access these functions.
In a typical use-case, the customer has
In order to do its work, PCP Service must have a list of items to recommend from, and a list of users for whom recommendations are needed. Both lists could potentially change over time, and a portion of the API deals with updating these lists so that their copies in the targetAPI database are up-to-date with corresponding information in the customer database. Each item must have a textual description (title, keywords, or other form of description) and this is sent to targetAPI servers; this is the basis of PCP Service recommendations -- e.g. items whose textual description is about snowboarding get recommended to people who are interested in snowboarding.
The predictive aspect of the technology works best if the customer sends the full names of people/users to targetAPI servers. The power of targetAPI technology lies in solving the "cold-start problem" of behavioral targeting, i.e. giving meaningful recommendations to new users who have no behavior history on customer's site. However targetAPI also learns from behavior: customer may optionally send feedback to targetAPI servers about which items were liked/disliked by specific users, and this is taken into account when serving subsequent recommendations to these users.

5. API Usage Limits and TOS
1. Introduction
PCP (Predictive Content Personalization) Service is a hosted web service that recommends content items to particular persons based on their relevance to this person's interests. Content items are provided by the user of API, as is data about people for whom recommendations are sought. This data is private to API user submitting it; other API users will not see it.
2. Authentication
Each API user has an Application Key, which is assigned to each API user by targetAPI. It is a text string consisting of 1..64 characters from the set [0-9A-Za-z_]. Application Key (appkey) is part of the URI in each API request. In examples used in this document, the Application Key is taken to be 0000000000000000. This is an example value only, each API user will have a different key.
3. General API Conventions
The API is HTTP-based and follows the REST style. The API endpoint is api.targetapi.com. That is, there are a number ofresources, each having an URI, and standard HTTP operations can be used to interact with the resource. For example, a content item has an URI http://api.targetapi.com/{appkey}/item/{itemid}, and HTTP POST operation on such URI will modify the content item, whereas HTTP DELETE operation on it will delete the content item.
Success or failure of each operation is indicated using the HTTP response status code, with 200 signifying success. 4xx response status codes mean that the API user (you) has done something wrong, and the response status text describes the reason. Exceeding the API usage limits of your appkey will also result in 4xx response codes. 5xx response status codes denote server internal error conditions. A valid API request will never receive a redirection (3xx) response.
Some operations have JSON-encoded data as their HTTP response body. Operations that return no data apart from the response code (e.g. DELETE) have empty HTTP response body.
In HTTP request parameters, Unicode text is converted to bytes using UTF-8 encoding. HTTP POST request body (parameters) is in application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding.
Content item and person identifiers used in the API are chosen by API user (you). That is, when adding a content item or person, a HTTP POST is done, and the URI includes the identifier. A content item or person with such identifier is then created, and subsequent operations on that item/person use the same identifier. When creating a new item/person, API user should ensure that the identifier is not already in use, or else the existing item/person is modified instead of new one being created. Content items and persons use separate identifier namespaces; in other words, it is possible to create a person with the same identifier as a content item. The API supports any textual identifier, provided that it consists of 1..64 characters from the set [0-9A-Za-z_]. They are compared verbatim, case-sensitive.
4. API Operations
4.1. Managing Content Items
In order to provide recommendations, PCP Service must have a list of content items to recommend from. The list could potentially change over time, and this portion of the API deals with populating and updating it. Each content item should have a textual description (title, keywords, or other form of description) - the relevancy of this text to a person is the main basis of recommendations. An item with all empty textual description fields is technically allowed by the API, but it will be rarely/never recommended because relevancy is unclear.
4.1.1. Adding or Modifying a Content Item
HTTP operation: POST /{appkey}/item/{itemid}
POST parameters:
targetAPI automatically recognizes the language of these textual description fields. Currently supported languages are English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Dutch, Finnish, Estonian, Swedish, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Turkish.
When modifying an existing content item, the whole item is overwritten with new information, assuming empty strings for missing optional parameters.
No response body.
Example request using cURL:
curl -d "title=mytitle&keywords=photography,snowboarding&content=this is a content item about photography and snowboarding" "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/item/myitem1"
4.1.2. Deleting a Content Item
HTTP operation: DELETE /{appkey}/item/{itemid}
No parameters, no response body. Deletes a content item from the list, so it no longer appears in recommendations.
Example request using cURL:
curl -X DELETE "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/item/myitem1"
4.1.3. Getting Data About a Given Content Item
HTTP operation: GET /{appkey}/item/{itemid}
No parameters.
Response body: JSON-encoded object with these attributes:
Example request using cURL:
curl "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/item/myitem1"
Example response:
"keywords": "photography,snowboarding",
"content": "this is a content item about photography and snowboarding",
"id": "myitem1",
"title": "mytitle"
4.1.4. Getting a List of Content Items
HTTP operation: GET /{appkey}/items
No parameters.
Response body: JSON-encoded list of content items (in arbitrary order). Each item in the list has the following attributes:
Example request using cURL:
curl "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/items"
Example response:
"id": "myitem1",
"title": "mytitle"
"id": "myitem2",
"title": "mytitle2"
4.2 Managing People
In order to provide recommendations, PCP Service must have a list of people to recommend to. The list could potentially change over time, and this portion of the API deals with populating and updating it.
4.2.1. Creating or Modifying a Person
HTTP operation: POST /{appkey}/person/{personid}
POST parameters:
E-mail addresses and user IDs help telling the difference between the many John Smiths out there.
When no parameters are provided, the technology is reduced to learning this user's interests based on what content items they like (see Giving Feedback on Recommendations).
When modifying an existing person, the whole person data is overwritten with new information, assuming empty strings for missing optional parameters.
No response body.
Example request using cURL:
curl -d "name=Ansel Adams" "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/person/myperson1"
4.2.2. Deleting a Person
HTTP operation: DELETE /{appkey}/person/{personid}
No parameters, no response body. Deletes a person from the list, so no recommendations can be requested for them.
Example request using cURL:
curl -X DELETE "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/person/myperson1"
4.2.3. Getting a List of People
HTTP operation: GET /{appkey}/persons
No parameters.
Response body: JSON-encoded list of persons (in arbitrary order). Each person in the list has the following attributes:
Example request using cURL:
curl "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/persons"
Example response:
"id": "myperson1",
"name": "Ansel Adams"
"id": "myperson2",
"name": "Carola Presley"
4.3. Requesting Recommendations
These operations return recommendations for a given person. Only such content items that are deemed relevant to the person are returned, in the order of expected relevancy and popularity. If there are no content items deemed relevant to the person, no content items are returned.
4.3.1. Simple Request for Recommendations
HTTP operation: GET /{appkey}/person/{personid}/recommendations
GET parameters:
Response body: JSON-encoded object with these attributes:
Example request using cURL:
curl "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/person/myperson1/recommendations?count=10"
Example response:
"profile_completeness_percentage": 100,
"recommendations": [
"id": "myitem2",
"title": "mytitle2"
"id": "myitem1",
"title": "mytitle"
4.3.2. Modifying a Person and Requesting Recommendations
This is a convenience operation that has the same effect as doing a POST /{appkey}/person/{personid} followed by GET /{appkey}/person/{personid}/recommendations. The person must already exist - this operation cannot be used to create new persons. The whole person data is overwritten with new information, assuming empty strings for missing optional parameters.
HTTP operation: POST /{appkey}/person/{personid}/recommendations
POST parameters:
Response body: JSON-encoded object with these attributes:
Example request using cURL:
curl -d "interests=politics,management,web 2.0" "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/person/myperson1/recommendations"
Example response:
"profile_completeness_percentage": 100,
"recommendations": [
"id": "myitem2",
"title": "mytitle2"
"id": "myitem1",
"title": "mytitle"
4.4. Giving Feedback on Recommendations
4.4.1. Submitting Feedback
HTTP operation: POST /{appkey}/person/{personid}/rating/{itemid}
This operation improves subsequent recommendations for a given person, by letting the recommender system know which content items the person has liked/disliked. Repeating this operation with the same person and item overwrites previous rating - i.e. ratings are not cumulative. The specified itemid does not necessarily have already appeared in recommendations for this person. Depending on the exclude_items_rated_lower_than parameter when requesting recommendations, items with some rating values will not appear in further recommendations to this person.
This operation is optional: recommendations can be generated also without providing feedback.
POST parameters:
Example request using cURL:
curl -d "rating_value=1" "http://api.targetapi.com/0000000000000000/person/myperson1/rating/myitem1"

The Catlin Gabel Student Association: An Anatomical Analogy
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Mon, 06/21/2010 - 3:39pm
By Eddie Friedman '10
From the Spring 2010 Caller
There are bad days and good days in and for the Catlin Gabel Student Association, the CGSA, of which I am president this year. On bad days the CGSA seems to me like an appendix. It started when the school needed a group to process and carry out the tasks of the community that other student or faculty organizations could not. On bad days, the CGSA feels a little vestigial, and like a sharp abdominal pain above the right hip of the (student) body.
I wouldn't enjoy working with and leading the CGSA nearly as much if every day were a bad day, and the vast majority aren't. To continue the anatomical analogy, on good days the CGSA is the hind brain of the Catlin Gabel high school's community. This utterly invaluable cranial region consists of three parts.
The pons is the bridge between the brain and the central nervous system. All information traveling to the brain from the body passes through this little patch of tissue. At the beginning of my time as CGSA president, Michael Heath, the head of the Upper School, told me: "Your job in the CGSA is not really to serve as the student liaison and petitioner to the faculty." Coincidentally, many students told me: "Your job is not to represent the opinions of the faculty to us!" From what I've experienced so far, they were both wrong. The CGSA sends information both ways.
The medulla oblongata at the base of the brain, beneath the pons, regulates autonomic functions within the body. These functions are not conscious, so if the medulla oblongata were not there to carry them out they would not happen, and death would probably ensue. While maybe not quite so vital, allotting funding for clubs, planning kidnap day, and managing class elections are jobs that the CGSA does that bear great importance to the Catlin Gabel community.
And finally we have the cerebellum, that beautiful striped body of folded neural tissue, tucked back underneath the occipital lobes, attached to the brain stem at the pons. This region plays an absolutely essential role in the functioning of the body. Like the cerebellum, the CGSA receives information from all parts of the community and uses this information to modify and fine-tune the actions of the body as a whole. Not only does the CGSA represent the faculty's feelings to the students and vice versa, we take into account those feelings and opinions and desires and synthesize them in order to do what we think is best for the Catlin Gabel community.
Earlier this year the CGSA dealt with the issue of cell phones in the high school community. The faculty thought something had to be done, while most students didn't. We debated it thoroughly, observed cell phone use in the community, and conducted six weeks of experiments. We considered that while it might be easy to simply abandon the issue, if we did the faculty might take more drastic measures than we thought appropriate. Eventually we arrived at a middle ground that emphasized respect and responsible action, pillars of this educational body. (You may read the policy online at http://www.catlin.edu/upper/cgsa/cellphone-policy.) So far, everyone seems pretty happy.
The work of the CGSA is not always easy or straightforward, hence that uncomfortable appendix-like feeling. But when we toil to complete important, significant work for the community, despite many challenges, we're the brain stem, and it all seems worth it.
Eddie Friedman will attend Brown University this fall. He admits that he may have taken a few liberties with the facts of the actual functions of the various organs he mentions, for the sake of beauty and aesthetic unity.

Thank you, PAPD and Nordy's Loss Prevention for taking these two off the streets! We have had our identities stolen twice since 1999. It is a painstaking and miserable process filled with lots of red tape to fix such a theft.
That said, I hope Nordy's starts requiring receipts for refunds, like most other stores do.
on Jun 27, 2013 at 3:35 pm
Although technically Nordstrom does not require receipts for returns, they keep electronic records of purchases. As a result, whether I have the actual paper receipt or not, Nordstrom always has a record of my purchases. In addition, customers can choose to have their receipts emailed which means you never have to deal with paper receipts. This saves trees, plus it's convenient in case I would ever lose a receipt. I know both Nord and I have a record of it electronically.
on Jun 27, 2013 at 8:43 pm
Nordstrom also records info on "frequent returners" who don't use receipts, or whose receipts are suspicious. Often loss prevention staff will keep an eye on the frequent returners. In other words, a receipt my not be necessary, but Nordstrom isn't naive about theft. They balance superior customer service & the $$ that brings in w/what they lose to scurrilous, dishonest folks.
on Jun 27, 2013 at 11:35 pm
Nordstrom's lax return policy encourages crooks to steel. They may consider the policy as a customer satisfaction tool. But Nordstrom and similar retailers create problem for consumers like us who have experienced ID theft.
on Jun 28, 2013 at 4:11 am
Really, darlings! Receipts are so déclassé.
on Jun 28, 2013 at 4:15 am
It's our prison's lax return policy that encourages thieves to steal.
on Jun 28, 2013 at 4:02 pm
While Nordstrom's does have electronic receipts to use in returns, it could do the truly gauche thing and request a photo I.D. as a back-up.
on Jun 29, 2013 at 9:16 am
Actually @stanfurd, by not requiring ID, Nordys is actually reducing the need for identity theft.
on Jul 8, 2013 at 7:05 pm
I don't understand how frequent returns is considerd theft?
Can someone explain?

The Moving Light Company, supplier of automated lighting equipment to the British theatre industry, recently serviced productions at three of Britain's leading regional theatres: the Royal Exchange in Manchester, the Crucible in Sheffield and the Theatre Royal in Plymouth. In each case, the lighting designers were seeking to combine equipment from a variety of manufacturers--a speciality of The Moving Light Company, which has rental stock that includes products from Vari-Lite, Martin, High End, City Theatrical, DHA Lighting, Amptown and others.
For the Royal Exchange Theatre, The Moving Light Company together with White Light North supplied lighting designer Robert Bryan with four Vari-Lite VL1000s and four City Theatrical Autoyokes for a production of Othello. Both were specified for their tungsten light sources and low running noise--a particularly important consideration with the in-the-round arrangement of the Exchange. As with many other lighting designers, including Hugh Vanstone for his recent work at the RSC, on Breath Boom at the Haymarket and on Bombay Dreams at the Apollo Victoria, Bryan was also attracted by the VL1000's colour mixing, wide zoom range and framing shutters. Control in Manchester was from the theatre's in-house Strand 500-series consoles. The VL1000s proved so successful that the Exchange will continue to use them in their next main house production, Port, a new play by Simon Stephens, and for the Christmas show, Secret Heart.
At the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, Hartley TA Kemp specified an even more diverse collection of products: High End Studio Colors, Strand Pirouettes and DHA Digital Light Curtains and Digital Beamlight 2s, to light The Tempest. The Moving Light Company is the only company in the world to stock the Digital Beamlight, having used it on a wide range of productions since their its appearance on the West End musical Martin Guerre in 1996. This show was followed by Teeth 'n' Smiles, for which lighting designer Howard Harrison opted to keep the StudioColors and Pirouettes.
The Theatre Royal Plymouth's show required fewer lights but more customization by The Moving Light Company, converting Martin Robocolor PRO400s into fibre optic lightsources for the theatre's touring production of The Tempest. This show was lit by Paul Keogen, who has also lit the White Light-supplied production of Eden at the Arts Theatre in London.
As well as these shows, The Moving Light Company continues to be involved in a wide range of productions encompassing everything from one-day video shoots and firework parties to the largest-scale touring and West End productions including Miss Saigon, Romeo and Juliet: The Musical, Our House and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. More information about the company, its diverse stock and its WYSIWYG bureaux service can be found at The Moving Light Company website, www.moving-light.co.uk.

At first glance you will notice the bustling activity that characterizes Toulouse: wait staff with wine openers and hot plates of food, people chatting and laughing, the clink of wine glasses… it is definitely a contagious atmosphere that would put everybody in a good mood.
The menu replicates the rich and classic Belgian-influenced French cuisine with a slightly modern twist that can please the most adventurous palates but also more traditional tastes. Mussels and frites – Toulouse's specialty – are prepared in five different and equally delightful ways; the imaginative menu provides exactly what Dallas people long for: tasty specialties for carnivores and vegetarians alike, homemade delicious desserts, cozy tables open to the street and an extensive wine list. Additionally Chef Yoann Lardeux prepares a monthly regional wine pairing dinner that is not to be missed. Catering and to go available.

Departing West Sussex council chief given six figure payoff
5:40am Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By Tim Ridgway
A West Sussex council chief is to be given a six figure pay off as a local authority plans to save £140 million.
As it looks to balance the books in the face of government cuts, West Sussex County Council will scrap its chief executive post.
It means its current CEO Kieran Stigant, who has worked for the local authority for 22 years, will leave on January 31.
Following the shock announcement, town hall leaders said the change was needed to "meet the new challenges facing the authority".
But union representatives called on politicians to listen to staff concerns about the "commissioning approach" before it made £140 million of savings over the next four years.
In a letter to staff, council leader Lousie Goldsmith said: "This might come as a surprise to many of you.
"Kieran has been a committed, diligent and loyal chief officer and I have been very grateful for his support and counsel."
Coun Goldsmith added she was "indebted" to Mr Stigant for helping it make £79 million of savings in the last three years.
However, the Tory politician said she felt the local authority needed "a new kind of leadership" for the coming years.
It comes as the council looks to adopt a "commissioning approach" which many fear will mean pushing services out to the private and third sector to save money.
A council spokesman confirmed Mr Stigant, who was earning a salary of £175,000 as CEO, will receive at least £118,000 as a payoff.
Councillors are set to confirm the deletion of the chief executive post at a meeting on February 14.
In its place, two interim directors - a chief operating officer appointed internally and an interim "transformation director" - will be appointed.
A spokesman said the changes were estimated to save the council £25,000 a year with further savings expected as a result of the leadership structure review.
Dan Sartin, branch secretary at Unison West Sussex, said: "Kieran's departure will be seen as a sad loss by staff. He was trusted and respected, and for good reason. He is an honest local man doing a tough job for West Sussex.
"The 'commissioning' agenda of the cabinet is not popular with staff and whoever takes over the leadership role will struggle to sell it to them.
"They will have other huge challenges too - not least to deal with the consequences of the current policy of the council to make the cuts £29 million worse than they need be by freezing council tax."

VIDEO: Youngsters get to grips with circus skills
Updated 11:32am Friday 2nd May 2014 in News By Heloise Wood, reporter
SIDCUP youngsters have been showing off a dazzling array of circus skills.
Bird College of Dance, Music and Theatre Performance in Birkbeck Road offered 45 children aged five to 16 a masterclass in skills including hula hooping, plate spinning, tightrope walking and more.
The college was founded in 1946 by Doreen Bird who was aged 18 at the time and has offered thousands of young people the chance to develop their talents.
Head of Junior Dance Bonnie Roots said: "It was absolutely brilliant. They did juggling, balancing, used the unicycle.
"It took a around three hours and the kids loved it."

Bracing for the big issues – and having a plan on how to handle the big talks – can be your salvation. Many modern couples discuss major issues, such as money, religion, or having kids, before getting married. Still, most newlyweds are surprised at how many times they have to have the big talks again. Since these big talks have couples confronting touchy subjects, they can quickly turn into an argument. Frankly, people change their minds and opinions over time, and there are some issues that you couldn't possibly anticipate.
Here's a list of big talks you and your spouse need to tackle.
Time and again, newlyweds find that money is the root of all evil, or at least all arguments. People handle their money differently and have different ideas on how to save and spend. Some view money as a necessity equal to water and air, and others see it simply as materialistic. Discussing your views and being able to rationally and calmly make decisions about what to do with your money (for example, should you get joint bank accounts?) is a must in every marriage.
SexSex is another issue about which most people argue at some point. One spouse wants more sex than the other. One spouse has some sort of physical ailment that is interfering with their sex life. Somebody might be cheating. Some wives never experience an orgasm. And the list of reasons sex becomes an issue goes on and on. Work hard to maintain a healthy sex life, so sex remains fun and never becomes a burden.
The kind of relationship you will have with the in-laws is predetermined by the conversations you have with your spouse about them. You should discuss how much time everyone should spend together, and the boundaries you'd like to set, especially if the in-laws live nearby. The relationship can be mutually beneficial, but there's also the possibility of tension and resentment. Just be careful to approach your new family with an open heart and an idea of how you envision the relationship.
