Appeals Overview
Parking citations issued by Parking and Transportation Services can be appealed if you feel that the citation was issued in error or that there were extenuating circumstances associated with the citation. The appeal for the citation must be submitted within fourteen (14) calendar days of the issue date of the citation. Appeals for citations are submitted online through your Parking and Transportation account. Tow fees and Boot fees are not eligible for appeal.
First Appeal
The first appeal is reviewed by the Assistant Director of Parking and Transportation Services or designee. The Director will review the appeal and upon determining the outcome, notify the appellant in writing by email of the decision. If the citation is sustained, the fine must be paid within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the Committee's decision, unless a final appeal is timely filed.
Second (Final) Appeal
A final appeal of the citation may be made by requesting a hearing before the Parking Violations Appeal Board. The Board is composed of seven (7) members: two (2) faculty, three (3) staff members from the University community, two (2) students and two (2) alternates. The Chief of Police or designee will act as advisor to the Board. The Board must establish a quorum to hear appeals. A quorum shall be defined as a minimum of five (5) members of the Parking Violations Appeal Board.
The final appeal must be submitted within fourteen (14) calendar days of the Committee's decision on the first appeal. The documentation that was reviewed by the Committee will be forwarded to the Board, however the Board will make an independent determination of the case. The individual will be notified of the date, time, and location of the hearing and may present evidence. If the individual elects not to attend the hearing, the written appeal will be read aloud for the Board to review. The individual will be notified in writing of the decision of the Board. If the citation is sustained, the fine must be paid within fourteen (14) calendar days of the Board's decision.The Parking Violations Appeal Board is the final appeal authority; no further appeals are permitted.
How to File a First Appeal
1. Go to your MyFAU account. (myfau.fau.edu)
2. Click on the "Money Matters Tab".
3. Click on the "FAU Parking and Transportation Services" link.
4. Click on the link "Appeal Citations".
5. Fill out the information correctly.
The results of the appeal submitted will be sent to your FAU e-mail. On average, it takes about two weeks to get a response. While your citation is under appeal a hold is placed on the citation so that you can not accumulate any late fees. If the appeal is denied, you have fourteen days from the date of response to either file a second appeal or to pay the citation before a late fee is assessed.
Students click here to submit an appeal
How to File a Second Appeal
If your first appeal is denied then you have the opportunity to file a second appeal. The second appeal is filed the same way you filed for your first appeal (steps are above). By filing a second appeal you will have the chance to meet with the appeals board on an appointed date to have your appeal reviewed again. Second appeals are scheduled in advance and you will be notified via e-mail of your scheduled hearing time and location. Your attendance at the Second Appeal Hearing is encouraged but not required. Please note that the decision of the Board is final; no further appeals are permitted.
Additional Information
Appeals should only be filed if a legitimate basis exists. Reasons for appeal that are not considered legitimate and will result in your appeal being denied include, but are not limited to:
1. Disagreement with the parking regulation.
2. Ignorance of the regulation.
3. Stated inability to find a permitted parking space.
4. Operation of the vehicle by another person.

"Broadway Gets Out the Vote" Event, With Nick Adams, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Max Von Essen, Held Oct. 14
By Adam Hetrick
Tony Award nominee Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Nick Adams, Max Von Essen, Kara Lindsay and Nikki Rene Daniels are among the performers participating in the Oct. 14 "Broadway Gets Out the Vote" event.
Broadway for Obama founders Celia Keenan-Bolger (Peter and the Starcatcher) and Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Newsies) created the event that aims to educate and motivate members of the theatre community about the issues at the core of Barack Obama's presidential re-election campaign.
"It's intimidating, but we're up for it," Celia Keenan-Bolger said in a statement. "The only way we're going to win this election is by reaching out to people in swing states and showing our enthusiasm for President Obama."
The 7-10 PM evening, held at 405 West 55th Street, begins with an information session explaining how individuals can get involved in the campaign, followed by phone banking.
A performance by Lauren Molina (Marry Me a Little) and Nick Cearley (Next to Normal) of The Skivvies will also take place.
The event is open to the public, but an RSVP is required. Visit my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gb734b to attend.

Backup your Data
Imagine working relentlessly on a huge research project for weeks or months and then losing all of your hard work when the computer file is lost or damaged. It's irreplaceable...unless you've made a backup copy of your work, that is. So be smart and make backup copies of your important computer data, store them securely, and consider storing extra copies at another location.
- What files should I back up?
- What software can I use for backups?
- Where should I store my backup files?
- Compare external storage devices
- How to secure removable media
- More information
- Related topic
What Files Should I Back Up?
Deciding what to back up is really up to you, but a good rule of thumb is to backup whatever can not easily be replaced. Here are some suggestions:
- Email folders and address books. If you want to
keep your address book and email folders intact, you'll
need to back up the corresponding files.
- If you're using Outlook Express: You'll track down your address book by using Find to search for a file with the extension WAB. You'll then track down your email folders by using Find to search for a folder called Mail. This folder contains all your email folders as well as links to any newsgroups that you subscribe to.
- For most other programs (Eudora, Opera, Netscape, and MS Outlook): You may want to consider downloading Email Saver Xe 2.0 which regularly backs up your messages, address book, and personal settings.
- Internet URLs (Bookmarks). In addition to your connection information,
chances are that you want to save your web site shortcuts or URLs.
- For Internet Explorer: You'll find the URLs in the C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Favorites folder. Simply back up the entire Favorites folder to an external storage device.
- For Mozilla Firefox: Firefox versions 1.5 and up automatically creates backups of your bookmarks. To locate the backup files, just use Find to search for a folder called "bookmarkbackups"—this folder is also in your Firefox profile directory. To replace lost bookmarks, just copy the backup file to your profile folder (one level up) and rename it "bookmarks.html."
- For Netscape: Use Find to locate a folder called "Bookmark.htm." Then just copy the files to another storage area.
- For other browsers or operating systems: Check with your documentation to find out where and how your URLs are stored. Then back them up.
- Personal Projects. Don't let your groundbreaking research project disappear—be sure to save your files throughout your work process and then back up these files regularly.
- Digital Photographs. Keep those "Kodak moments" alive by backing up your photo files on an external storage device.
- Purchased Software or Other Digital Media. If you have software that you purchased online and was delivered to you as a download, you should keep and back up the installers in case your hard drive crashes and you need to reinstall it. Other digital media such as movies or music that was purchased through an online service might also be a good idea, as you might not be able to re-download the content without purchasing it again. However, this type of content typically takes up large amounts of space, so if you have a lot of digital media or software, you may need a larger backup device.
- Application Information. If you're using Microsoft Office or some other application suite, you should also backup any templates, macros, or other customized items that you don't want to have to recreate. For example, suppose that you're using Word and you've created a lot of macros that help you to quickly and easily produce your documents. You'll find most of your macros stored in Word's templates. By default, macros are stored in the Normal.dot template. If you've created a custom template for your word processing needs, the template also probably has macros stored in it.
What Software Can I Use for Backups?
We recommend utilizing a backup utility on your personal computer. Directions for both Microsoft and Mac users are below. However, we also recommend using an external source as well in case of serious computer failure.
MICROSOFT USERS: If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you can back up your data using Microsoft's Windows Backup utility. A third party software called Second Copy is also useful for more advanced backup functions.
- For information on how to manually back up your files or how to use the built-in Windows Backup utility, please follow the instructions in this Microsoft article.
- For additional help, see Windows Backup Made Easy.
- Automated backup using Second Copy.
MAC USERS: You can download Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), now available for most Mac OS systems, use the .Mac Backup application, set up Time Machine to automatically backup when you plug in your external hard drive, or buy the network based solution called Time Capsule.
- Installation of TSM for Mac OS X
- Installation of TSM for Mac OS 9
- Use of the .Mac Backup application
- Mac 101: Using Time Machine in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
- Time Capsule installation and support information
Where Should I Store My Backup Files?
While it's generally up to you to back up your files, check with your local IT support specialists—they may have network provisions that make it easier to save your files. Depending on how much data you have to back up, you have several choices for external storage devices. Compare your options in the chart below then choose what will work best for you.
Compare External Storage Devices (Removable Media)
*Check the UR Computer Store for availability of external storage devices for purchase*
|Zip Disks
|Disk drive that uses removable disks. Each disk has 100, 250, or 750 MB of storage
-inexpensive (if you already have the drive)
|-many public lab computers no longer have disk drives
|A CD onto which you can burn information. Each disc can hold up to 700 MB
Not sold singly:
average 10 pack for $10
-most new computers come with CD-RW drive installed
-older CD players cannot read CD-RWs
-possible to accidentally write over data & lose files
|A DVD onto which you can burn information. Each disc has gigabytes of storage.
|Not sold singly: average 10 pack for $15
-most new computers come with DVD-RW drive installed
-DVD burners double as CD burners offering more flexibility
|-possible to accidentally write over data & lose files
|USB Flash Drive
|Like a small hard drive (2-3 inches long) that plugs into your computer through a USB port. Has between 128 MB and 16 GB of storage!
(higher storage capacities are more costly)
-compact size
-holds a large amount of data
-works on any computer
|-due to their small size, they can be easily lost
|Remote Backup Services
Do NOT store sensitive data online!
|Lets you save files online. If you have Internet access, you can get your files from the online storage site whenever you need them
|Between $10 & $150 per month, depending on storage capacity and service
-includes download and backup software
-offers more storage space than most other options
-stores info outside of your home or office
-you might have to pay monthly fees for use (prices vary)
-if company's servers fail, you may not be able to access files
-if the company is hacked, your info could be stolen
-if company goes out of business, you lose your back up resource
For sensitive data, the following are bad places for backing up your data:
- Web Server - Even if there is no direct link to the backup file, a single configuration change or search engine could make your material accessible to the entire world.
- File Transfer Protocol Site (FTP) - An FTP site allows users to transfer data from one computer to another over the Internet or through a network. You've probably used it before without even knowing it to download files from the Internet. FTP is vital for music downloading tools such as iTunes, as well as for online auctions and game enthusiasts. For the same reason as the web server, unless the files are intentionally available to the public, it is generally not a good idea to back up data to an FTP server unless you are certain who has access to it.
- Third party backup sites - Particularly for information about other people, third party backup sites should not be used for University (or other sensitive) information.
Better locations: Although every backup location can be risky, the following are generally better for backing up sensitive data:
- A file server set aside for this purpose - Across the University, there are several locations that are specifically intended to provide protected areas for backup purposes. To find out where these areas may be, please contact your local IT support professional. For a list of departments providing service to the University Community, please visit http://www.rochester.edu/technology.html or you can call x5-2000.
- Offline Media (CD, Flash Drive, etc) - Although care should be taken to protect backup media, the nature of this type of backup makes it less likely to be placed in a public forum than many other methods.
In general, it's best to also encrypt sensitive data when it's backed up. This helps protect the data even in the event that the backup media itself is unintentionally disclosed.
How to secure your removable media
Securing your removable media is extremely important because removable media can be easily stolen or damaged if it's not stored in a safe place. Below are some tips:
- Lock up removable media containing confidential information when not in use.
- Do not place them near magnets or other magnetic devices because they could destroy information.
- Label them properly.
- Be careful not to damage the media.
- Do not dispose of removable media that contains important data without ensuring the destruction of the information. Remember that simple file deletion does not permanently erase files; in such cases, the information can still be restored. If the media contains sensitive information, reformat the media or physically break it.
- Be sure to inventory the contents of your media on a regular basis and remove any files you no longer need.

Yoshihiro Akiyama will drop down to welterweight after losing his last three fights in the middleweight division, according to Sponichi. After losing to Vitor Belfort at UFC 133, "Sexyama" apparently considered retirement before thinking better of it and finally deciding to take Dana White's advice and move down to the 170-pound division. Akiyama also said he would like to debut in his new division when the UFC heads to Japan in Feb. 2012. Any ideas on a possible opponent? Who would you like to see him fight in his new weight class?

We're three picks into SB Nation's 2011 NFL mock draft and QB Cam Newton is still on the board. Buffalo Rumblings,picking third, has surprised a few of us and selected LSU CB Patrick Peterson. The talent, as Buffalo Rumblings writes, is undeniable.
I have absolutely no qualms about the idea of the Bills drafting Peterson. Cornerback is a need: Terrence McGee is injury-prone and aging, Drayton Florence is a free agent, and Leodis McKelvin has been a disappointment. Peterson is a clean prospect, a unique athletic talent, and the type of playmaker that any team can use. He was also the top player on my board from the word 'go.'
Obviously the question here is why not quarterback. The full thought process on this pick is explained but basically quarterback isn't Buffalo's biggest need right now. I'd agree with that but think you have to give a long, hard look at Newton with pick No. 3.
Mocking The Draft calls Peterson "one of the safest and the best" prospects in the draft. From that standpoint, I like picking Peterson because Buffalo simply cannot miss on this pick.
For more on the selection, and a full explanation from Buffalo Rumblings, check out Mocking The Draft.

SEARCY (AP) - Harding University is opening soccer season.
Harding will host Drury University on Thursday. The Lady Bisons are 5-8-2 in season openers.
It will be the third time in program history that HU has opened their season against Drury. The Panthers won the first game 2-1 in 2005 and the two teams tied the last season opener 1-1 in 2006.
The Bisons return 17 letterwinners, including 10 starters, off last season's team that finished 7-9-2 overall and 4-5-1 in the Great American Conference.
Harding's leading returning scorer is senior forward Jenna Taylor, who led the Lady Bisons with six goals and tied for the team lead with three assists last season.
Drury leads the series 3-2-1 overall.

WEATHERFORD -- Michelle Osterkamp just launched a website called "Weatherford Parents Opt Out."
It's just what she did. When it came time for STAAR testing this month at Mary Martin Elementary, she opted out, and kept her two sons home.
"I don't want to do this, but I have to," Osterkamp said. "I have to do it."
But the Texas Education Agency says she can't. According to the TEA, "A parent is not entitled to remove the parent's child from a class or other school activity to avoid a test or to prevent the child from taking a subject for an entire semester."
"It's teaching to the test, and that's wrong," Osterkamp said. "That's not what public education should be about."
Osterkamp said she's not against standardized tests and does want her kids in public schools, but it's not fair that third and fifth graders must pass the STAAR to be promoted.
"This is doing a disservice to the kids," she said. "They get burned out. They get sad. They get nervous. They get sick."
And she says it's not fair to judge teachers by STAAR results, either -- especially when performance is linked to pay. She thinks other parents also will opt out once they see they're not alone.
"People are very nervous because they don't like what's going on, but they've been convinced they have no power," she said. She hopes the website empowers parents.
Osterkamp said Weatherford school administrators give her no reason to believe her sons will be held back for skipping the STAAR. She said they're good students. and that she discussed her desire to take a stand with them.
District officials declined to comment.
If nothing else, schools can form grade placement committees to make the promotion decision. But the TEA says those committees are supposed to be a fallback for a child who tests poorly, not a child who doesn't test at all.
A TEA spokeswoman said opting out is so rare that it has not become an issue.
Fort Worth ISD echoes that. A spokesman said the tests are mandatory, and that the district has heard from no parents who plan to challenge that.

GAME NOTES: Following an impressive Saturday victory over 13th-ranked Connecticut, the 16th-ranked Louisville Cardinals will look to avoid a let down as they visit the Louis Brown Athletic Center for a Big East Conference showdown with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
The Cardinals completed a season-sweep of the Huskies with a 71-58 win on Saturday. They have now won two of their last three contests to stand at 9-5 in the competitive Big East.
Rutgers has now dropped two straight and four of its last six contests to fall to 4-10 in Big East action. The Scarlet Knights last played on Saturday as well, in an 84-80 overtime loss to Syracuse.
With respect to the all-time series, tonight's matchup marks the 10th meeting between Louisville and Rutgers. The Cardinals currently hold a 8-1 lead, and have won four straight over the Scarlet Knights.
Louisville won the old-fashioned way on Saturday, clamping down on the defensive end and bullying Connecticut in the trenches. The Cardinals held UConn to just 37 percent shooting (17-of-46) and gave Kemba Walker, on of the nation's best players, fits from the opening tip. Walker, who averages 22.9 ppg, went just 3-of-10 from the floor for 16 points. The Cardinals' frontcourt also did work, leading the team to 34 points in the paint and a 40-36 advantage on the glass. Peyton Silva led the offensive charge, netting 15 points on 7-of-14 shooting, while Gorgui Dieng came off the bench to post his first career double-double with 13 points and 12 boards. The Cardinals are typically led by Preston Knowles, who averages 14.5 ppg. Silva chips in 10.6 ppg and Kyle Kuric is scoring 11.3 ppg in conference play, as Louisville averages a healthy 76.2 ppg, while allowing 65.4 ppg on the other end.
In a game that featured 14 lead changes and 10 ties, the embattled Scarlet Knights eventually fell to a superior Syracuse squad on Saturday. Rutgers held the ball for the final possession of regulation, but was unable to earn the upset win, as a three-pointer by James Beatty sailed off the mark, sending the game into overtime. In the extra frame, the Orange expounded on a theme of the game, scoring nine of its 14 points from the charity stripe to seal the final result. For the contest, Syracuse outscored the Scarlet Knights 34-9 from the foul line. Guard Mike Cobourn led the squad in defeat, netting 18 points on 7- of-12 shooting, while handing out six assists. Forwards Jonathan Mitchell and Gilvydas Biruta added 13 and 12 points, respectively. Mitchell has been asked to do too much this season. He is the only Rutgers player to average in double figures, as he pours in 14.8 ppg (16.6 ppg in conference), while also leading the team at 6 rpg. Behind Mitchell, Rutgers scores 67.3 ppg, while allowing 65.7 ppg. The dilemma come against staunch Big East competition, where the Scarlet Knights allow 70.6 ppg.
Louisville is a versatile team. After downing Connecticut with defense, the Cardinals should use a strong offensive effort to defeat Rutgers tonight.
GAME NOTES: Following an impressive Saturday victory over 13th-ranked Connecticut, the 16th-ranked Louisville Cardinals will look to avoid a let down as they visit the Louis Brown Athletic Center for a Big East Conference showdown with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

With this connection, we have thousands of hard to find cars, trucks, SUV's and vans to choose from for you. This allows us to offer you a larger selection than the bigger dealers.

1) Our vehicles are scanned through Auto Check to make sure there has been no major damage and have no other problems that would affect getting the car financed.
2) Each vehicle is test driven and goes through a 230 point inspection. The engine and transmission are tested and safety issues are fixed.
3) We then send our vehicles out to be professionally detailed and reconditioned. We take pride in having our vehicles look as new as they possibly can. We want our customers to be proud of their vehicle purchase; because to them, this is their new car!
4) Because of our detailed inspection we are able to offer a 50/50 limited warranty on retailed units for the first 3000 miles or three (3) months.

quicky with document.write
I'm pretty much a newb with javascript, I'm trying to do something pretty basic I think but stuck at the last part. Here is a link to the script so you can take a look:
You enter a number in each box then click submit, it will do the functions and display the results. Though, the page gets stuck in a "loading" state after the results are posted and the form doesn't show up again. Not sure why it does that? I just wanted the messages to show up and the form to reload.
   <form onsubmit="return validate_form(this);"> Number 1: <input name="number1" type="text" value="">
 Number 2: <input name="number2" type="text" value="">

I suspect that you are using Firefox.
The reload problem is occurring because the page is trying to submit the form to a new page.
Return false from the function, which is then returned to the onsubmit event, to prevent the page from attempting to submit the form.Programming Group Advisor

Another issue is that the first document.write statement will also attempt to load a new page since the script is running after the page has finished loading and document.write can only be used before the page finishes loading. So your document.write statements will really need to generate an entire web page if you are going to use them that way.Stephen J Chapman

NGINX's Growing Popularity Stems from Increasing Demand for Top-Tier Performance and Predictability Regardless of Site Size or Traffic
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nginx, Inc., the high performance web acceleration company, today announced that it is the number one web server for the top 10,000 busiest websites in the world. The news underscores the growing need for maximum speed, performance and reliability for today's websites, regardless of the size of the site or the scope of its traffic demand.
According to W3Techs, a company that collects information about the usage of various types of technologies used for building and running websites, the majority (approximately 39.4 percent) of the world's top 10,000 busiest websites trust NGINX as their web server of choice. W3Techs also consistently pegs NGINX as the number one web server for the top 1,000 busiest websites on the Internet with 39.4 percent of the market leveraging its technology-a lead held since July 3, 2013. Interestingly, the company's fastest growing segment stems not from the busiest sites on the internet, but from businesses that value predictable website performance. NGINX is now trusted by 20.8 percent of all websites, up from 14.8 percent in just three months.
"This is a significant milestone for our company and for our technology, and we're proud of the traction we're seeing in the market," said Gus Robertson, CEO of Nginx, Inc. "Our position as the number one web server in the world for the busiest sites on the internet is a clear testament to our efforts helping leading companies maximize the performance of their websites. NGINX's growing popularity across the board results from our commitment to deliver all businesses with a fast, predictable and reliable website experience."
Nginx's commercial success stems from its commitment to the open source community. Nginx delivers open source releases monthly, and just last week the company announced the release of NGINX 1.7.1. This included several new features, such as syslog integration for access and error logs which was previously only available to subscribers to the commercial version of the product.
"NGINX focuses on being a high performance and scalable webserver, while NGINX Plus, our commercial product, extends the product's capabilities into load balancing and application delivery. Our open source product benefits from huge community involvement along with the intelligence of our core engineering team," added Robertson. "With version 1.7.1, we saw a commercial feature as a perfect resource for the open source offering-and wanted to make it readily available to the community at large."

About Nginx, Inc.
Based in San Francisco, Nginx, Inc. is the high performance web acceleration company, providing products, solutions and services for its renowned open source software, NGINX and its NGINX Plus commercial offering.

conversations with strangers
Do you tend to make "friends" with people you just run into? The other day we were in the $ store and a man coming towards me said "If you smell fish that is me, I just came in"
He was a lobster man and we had a great conversation about lobsters and I said I would be buying some meat soon at Harbor fish and he said it will be mine then, 'cause I sell it to them.
Then today a young woman came up to me and asked me to sign a petition (since it was for more trails I gladly signed.) Didn't notice at first that she had one of the metal calves that people with amputated limbs now wear. We had a very nice conversation about a house she had wanted that I admire too and she ended up shaking my hand and hoping we meet again (DD's age)
Another person I knew years ago has reentered my life. I was told she had a piece of DH's art work. Had a wonderful conversation with her DH who is a totally outgoing guy and Tues she and I will go somewhere together and then I will check out the art which we still don't remember!
I love talking to people!
DH and I are both talkers, so it's easy for us to strike up a conversation with just about anyone and we do often. I'm amazed at the information some people will spill on a chance meeting with a stranger. I think it's therapy for some and a good way to reach out to people who may or not need a little "lift" in their day.
Have you ever had someone tell you their life story on a long plane ride?
Life is a great big canvas...throw all the paint on it you can.

I don't fly much (haven't flown since 1986!) but when I had my antique shop many people confided in me.
funny, I was just out shopping and stopped at a small cafe for a coffee, the counter was very small, so I asked several people if they were waiting to order or waiting for their coffee. One women received an usual looking coffee drink, I asked her what it was, as we each received our order and I was adding sweetener and cream, we proceeded to talk. She told me she was quitting smoking and doing extra doses of caffeine to help her. I encouraged and told her about what I know worked with people I know who quite. We talked for several minutes, I enjoyed talking with her and hope I encouraged her to keep working to quit.
I, too like to meet and talk with new people.
Where I volunteer, it is so easy to do. They are usually passing time awaiting a loved one to recuperate in the hospital, etc. I meet people from all over the world. I've had some pretty interesting conversations! After about 20 minutes, they go on their way and me back to work.
I talked with a guy across the aisle on a plane one time for almost an hr. My sister couldn't believe how I could just talk to strangers like that, as she sat there reading her book. (She didn't feel like talking I guess, so I had to do something.)
We were in the last row, so I don't think we bothered too many people. And I think we kept our voices down. I think the best time to engage is when you first sit down. You get a feel for whether they want to be left alone or not.
I wish more people would "engage." Makes a plane ride go so much faster, unless of course you have an interesting book. This message has been edited. Last edited by: nance425,
Yes, I frequently fly alone and have met some interesting people, I still think about some as some of their stories are memorable.
It happens to me too from time to time. Just recently while waiting for over an hour to update my driver's license photo in the DMV, a nice younger lady who sat beside me and I struck a conversation, mostly about today's manners or lack there of. The conversation touched upon some other topics too. I often had strangers come up to my floral booth and chat when I was head of that dept. in a craft store. Once, I started a conversation while attending a craft show as I knew the lady, also alone, shared a mutual interst. We stayed in touch for a period afterwords even tho we did not live close.
I agree that some people are super friendly and/or need an ear in which to vent or share their thoughts. I think that especially in today's busy pace, the art of listening is lost and to encounter someone who seems genuinely interested in your spoken words is a rare find.This message has been edited.

I've always enjoyed talking to strangers...
WE have become pretty close friends with two couples we met on two different cruises. One English and one from Calif, who both have entertained us when we were in their parts of the world.
I find almost everyone interesting but do not like loud or annoying people!
I, too, love talking to strangers! DH and I were in London last month. One of my favorite things was talking with the people that we encountered! They are from all over the world and often have a story to tell about why they are now living in London.
It was fascinating, interesting, and very educational.
I am often approached by people needing help in the grocery store. I am tall enough to reach the top shelves, and I apparently seem "ok" to talk to.
I love it. Talking comes very easy in our family. In fact, sometimes folks probably wish we'd shut up! Now, DH, not so much.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
I'm 5'9" and I find myself doing the "reaching" for ladies in the grocery store quite often.
I think people are interesting, and I absolutely enjoy talking to strangers - If you give folks a chance, most are quite nice and many have fascinating stories to tell.
Just the other day, I was looking for honey in the grocery store, and a lady heard me talking to myself and muttering about not being able to find it...
Well, a couple of minutes later, she walked up and handed me a jar of honey.
All I could do was smile and say: "Why, thank-you Sweetie" (pun intended)
Same thing here, I'm 5'7" and I get asked a lot to help in the grocery store, but mostly when I see someone struggling to reach a product, opening a door or whatever I will not think twice about helping, just part of my personality. And the grocery store... well, all kinds come up to me, but it seems old men are particularly drawn... I like talking to strangers, I find them friendly and interesting!
People will talk to me about anything and everything. DH has one of those faces that EVERYONE seems to want to talk to.
When I was traveling in Australia I talked to everyone, to the extent that a woman on a bus asked me "how long have you known 'so and so'" (the complete stranger I had just had a LOOONG chat with) and she was stuned to find out I had known her only for the duration of our conversation.
A friend of mine once said "you could talk to a stone, and it would love you in 5 minutes."
Thing is 90% of the time I am just listening.
Life is GOOD!!
Ok, I think we should put out an All Points Bulletin for all the friendly people who like talking to strangers. They need to wear a pin or something identifying themselves!
Lavern2, I can relate to your shopper rescues stories. It's getting so I see the helpless upward look in customer's eyes and I waste no second asking, "Can I get that for you?" Just last week in BB&B, notorious for their two story peg walls of merchandise, I knocked down ice cube trays for a lady. Luckily they didn't land on her head. Typically a,
"Thank you!" follows along with, "It must be nice to be tall." As you and I know tho, there are some drawbacks that we deal with. Overall, I feel blessed and it's become one little way to practice RAKS.
Yep. It is an inherited trait in my family.
Same with DH. He says "a stranger is a friend you ain't met yet."
Does this hat make my butt look big?
I'm 5'9" too, and I have often gotten things off the top of grocery shelves for people. I have also asked guys taller than myself to get stuff I couldn't reach. Two weeks ago in Walmart a man asked me to get something for him. He was a dwarf and about 4 and half feet tall. It felt good that I could help him.
FrooFroo, DH and I are really into RAKS. It gives us such a warm feeling inside.
Life is a great big canvas...throw all the paint on it you can.

I sometimes think it's the 'smile' wrinkles that attract people to others. I smile easily and often and know that makes a person more approachable. Often when I am out shopping and minding my own business people will start a conversation and tell me confidential things. I always feel bad if I have to cut the conversation short because I don't have time to talk. When I had a store it was a constant occurrence that people would confide in me. Many told me things I'd never confide in a stranger. Perhaps because they didn't know me well made it easier for them and they had no one else.

DH and I just had a great conversation today with the owner of a little country restaurant where we stopped for lunch. Just being neighborly, that's all it was.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
LOS, DH and I took a wrong turn down a private drive while following our motorcycle's GPS to Cape Elizabeth's Portland Head Light. The owner of the property was in his yard and we talked awhile. His wife's family was from Valdosta, Ga.
While visiting the Lighthouse DH asked someone if they would mind taking our picture. Another lady came running over saying she heard someone say "y'all" (apparently DH) and told us she was from Alaaaabammaa....She had recently moved to Maine.
Both conversations turned in to 1/2 hour chats with interesting folks
DH and I regularly vacation in Colorado - Lake City/Cedaredge/Delta/Montrose areas. I went to the grocery store in Cedaredge and very consciously made certain I did NOT say "y'all" or "don't chew" (don't you), etc. I mean...I really cleaned up my colloquial sayings.
The checker asked me, "What part of east Texas are you from?"
I almost dropped my teeth! "How did you know? I did not say 'y'all' once!"
She said I sounded like her aunt who lives in Tyler. !!!! Tyler is only an hour and 15 minutes away.
Does this hat make my butt look big?
The other day we were in the grocery store and there was a man with a toddler in the cart. The man was playing hide and seek with the child who was chortling heartily.
When we walked by we waved to the child and said to the man that he had a fine boy there. He was very pleased. They were of a different ethnicity and maybe don't hear such comments often, or maybe he was so proud of the boy that he appreciated the comment. Note to self: when able, share kindness with someone who does not look like me! And of course who does!

'Funny-looking' Tesco sauce was six months out of date
10:30am Friday 28th September 2012 in News
A GWENT mum says she bought a jar of seafood sauce, only to find it was half a year out of date.
Rhiannon Shier went to the Tesco Express store in Rogerstone last Saturday, as her 11-year-old daughter Jordan wanted it to make a dip for her crisps.
The 35-year-old returned home only to discover the sauce should have been taken off the shelves six months ago.
"It looked a funny colour in the shop but I thought it needed a stir.
When I opened it, it smelt funny and that's when I checked the date," she said.
"There were a lot more jars on the shelf."
Ms Shier said her partner Julian Padfield, 43, returned with the offensive product and said staff did not seem concerned about the implications of consuming it.
"They weren't very apologetic.
My daughter could have been quite ill if she had eaten it," Ms Shier added.
The family reported it to Tesco and Newport's trading standards department.
A Tesco spokeswoman said: "We take these matters extremely seriously and immediately removed this product from shelves in the Rogerstone Express store, as a precaution.
"We have apologised to the customer."
She said the store is planning to conduct a thorough investigation on the returned product.

Oh dear, there was story in Metro the other day about a woman who found part of a rodent in a Tesco sandwhich she'd bought too(!) I'm starting to become very wary of Tesco's.
Think of the number of stores they own and the statistically negligible chance of a large corporation selling something gross in a jar like half a rat.
How many times have those rejects occurred in the news compared to the thousands of different products sold by the millions each year?
Next, Tesco is not the only major retailer in this country (ASDA, Sainsburys, Morrissons etc...). Therefore not all faulty products could be attributed to Tesco.
After that you have to consider that supermarkets buy a lot of their goods from outside companies that likely have quality control issues that the supermarket may not be aware of or in direct control of.
I don't work for any retail establishment but your scaremongering comment gave me cancer.

New London — Police arrested a 30-year-old man Friday and removed three minor children from a Willetts Avenue home where they discovered narcotics and packaging material used to distribute narcotics.
Members of the police department's VIS and Narcotics Division arrived at 49 Willetts Ave., Apt. 1, at 12:52 p.m. Friday to execute a search warrant. There, they found Marcelino Barretto, 30, and three minor children. Barretto had an active arrest warrant for second-degree failure to appear in court, police said.
With help from the state Department of Children and Families and members of the Drug Endangered Children Unit, the children were removed from the residence and placed with family members, police said. The DEC unit is a cooperative effort between law enforcement and child protection services to improve response time and the placement of children when law enforcement action occurs.
The investigation is continuing, and further arrests are expected.

Tottenham Hotspur target Pablo Daniel Osvaldo set to leave Roma after bust-up with club legend Francesco Totti
2:30pm Tuesday 12th February 2013 in Sport
Long-term Tottenham transfer target Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has fallen out with Roma legend Francesco Totti, increasing the likelihood that the striker will be sold in the summer.
Osvaldo and Totti exchanged heated words over who should take a penalty during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Sampdoria and reports in Italy suggest the pair's relationship is now beyond repair.
Spurs did not make an official approach for Osvaldo in January but have retained an interest in the player and may now be encouraged to make a move in the summer.

Forest Green players return for start of pre-season training
Updated 5:36pm Thursday 3rd July 2014 in Gloucestershire Sport By Ashley Loveridge, Sports editor
FOREST Green's management and playing staff returned to pre-season training today at Brimscombe-based Inside Football facility.
Fitness coach Neil Withington and physio Paul Maxwell put the squad through a taxing strength and conditioning morning, which also involved the lung-busting yo-yo test-a vairation of the bleep test.
New signings Elliott Frear, Rob Sinclair, David Pipe and Sam Wedgbury were in attendance along with striker Andy Mangan.
Wedgbury, who joined on a two-year deal from Stevenage, grabbed the pre-season bragging rights by winning the yo-yo test. The hard-running midfielder held off the challenge of new-faces Frear, Sinclair and Marcus Kelly.
Meanwhile, defenders Aarran Racine and Chris Stokes sat out the yo-yo test as they continue their rehabilition from knee and hamstring injuries.
Boss Ady Pennock said: "The players have comeback in good condition and were given tailored fitness programes during the summer.
"Half the squad were in today for testing and the rest will be in on Friday.
"We will train at the New Lawn on Saturday and then we fly to Scotland on Sunday for a tough bootcamp."

Apparently, someone is unaware that, when the original hedges were removed to accommodate 1996 Olympic soccer, clippings from the original hedges were used to grow the new hedges. After that appalling display of ignorance, additional (and typical) appalling displays of ignorance follow. There's a reason why vineyarddawg hates Florida. Go 'Dawgs!

A peek behind our 2014 ranking of rotational moldersAugust 25, 2014 2:00 pm ET | Comments
Today Plastics News published its annual ranking of North American rotational molders. Here are some interesting facts about the data.
Today Plastics News published its annual ranking of North American rotational molders. Here are some interesting facts about the data.
I feel like a fortune teller this week. Maybe I should pick up some lottery tickets.
You've heard of countries adopting plastic currency, to replace paper money. How about plastic coins, to replace metal? It's hard to believe but true. The tiny republic of Transnistria is introducing composite coins that it claims are difficult to counterfeit.
Kevin Kelly, CEO of flexible packaging company Emerald Packaging Inc., has written a powerful story for the National Catholic Reporter about the need for immigration reform in the United States, and the impact of the current system on employers and workers.
Toyota is cutting the cord. No, we're not talking about a cable TV bill, but potentially something much bigger when it comes to manufacturing trends.
China's coal-derived plastics are unlikely to form any substantial impact in the resin market in the near term, as new capacity projects are running into issues.
Question: What's the word on this week's Plastics News annual ranking of the top Pipe, Profile and Tubing extruders in North America? Answer: Up. Let's take a look at some of the numbers and trends from our respondents.
We sit down with Economics Editor Bill Wood to find some easy-to-understand economic indicators that are important for the plastics industry.
The plastics industry has taken high-profile stance in the debate over green building standards. The result, today at least, is that it's getting some criticism.
Covering the plastics industry, we're constantly interviewing sources who talk about products using the trademarked names.
This in-depth report analyzes economic and market trends, legislative/regulatory activity impacting supply and demand, business opportunities and threats, materials pricing, manufacturing technology, as well as growth strategies being implemented by thermoformed packaging companies.Learn more
U.S. demand for extruded plastics is expected to grow by 3 percent in 2014, with PVC remaining the largest segment.
Plastic pipe will post the strongest gains through 2018, continuing to take market share from competing materials in a range of markets.
Our latest market report provides in-depth analysis of current trends and their financial impact on the pipe, profile and tubing extrusion industry in North America.
In the wake of the economic turbulence earlier in this decade, molders today find themselves in much better shape. Molders are gaining a competitive advantage by investing in people, equipment and seeking inroads into new markets on a global scale.
Growth in the injection molding industry is going to be driven by low financing costs and a continued move to reshore some business.

3.6/5 rDev +8.4%
A - Pours an opaque dark brown back with a thick, bubbly tan head and fairly good retention finally settling down to a coffee like head (3.5)
S - Pleasant albeit slightly weak nose of coffee and roasted malts with a hint of sweetness (3.5)
T - Roasted malts with a dab of sweetness upfront, revealing notes of coffee and perhaps a very light dash of dark fruits in the middle before a slightly sour, mildly bitter and pleasantly raisiny finish (3.5)
M - Body was between light and medium with a slightly high amount of carbonation and goes down watery-foamy smooth; prefer a feel that's a tad thicker and more milky or creamy for this style (3.5)
D - Pretty good and drinkable stout. I may actually be able to imagine myself sessioning this more than the Guinness Foreign Extra stout; definitely exceeded my expectations (4)
Not bad at all! For a stout that's so common and easily available in Singapore along with the Guinness Foreign Extra Stout; hugely popular with the older population amongst our heartlanders who will be frequently spotted with a bomber and a pack of fags at the "coffee shops" in the after hours.

Surprisingly good stout, big on flavour, lots of roasty coffee, chocolate and coffee. Sweetsih however, and who the hell knows how they they drink this in singapore (bloody stinking hot there), i will have to resample again, however, this rating is based on my notes, and i feel my feelings would have changed towards it, given that i had it about a year ago, and i feel my tastes have changed.

330 ml can, juice can type with pull off tab.
Happy Herb Pizza, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Nice medium brown head. Large bubbles, so it did disappear rather quickly. Some lace.
Dark brown or black liquid, with some red tones and good clarity if you put it up to the light.
Malty with faint hops smell. Slight molasses in the smell.
Good body and texture. Kind of creamy.
Malty but little bitterness. Prominent chocolate malt and other roasted characteristics in the taste. The roasted also carries into the finish and aftertaste. Slight banana taste (diacetyl) component. Although the high alcohol doesnt appear in the nose, its fairly obvious in the finish. Not counting brewpubs, this was the best product I had in SE Asia.

A: Pours a dark brown color with a good thick tan head that fades slowly to good lacing.
S: Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and dark fruit.
T: Taste of roasted malt, chocolate, with some caramel and dark fruit in the background. Mild bitterness and a clean finish.
F: Full body, rich and creamy with a nice balance.
O: Good drinkable beer to relax with. Worth a try.

11 oz can flown back from Singapore by beertraveldude, thanks for the opportunity David.
Pours a solid black color with a decent tan head that slowly recedes with minimal lace left in its wake. Smells mostly of caramel and brown sugar with hints of lactic burnt grains ala Guinness. Lightly fruity, slightly melanoid, and acridic coffee with little to no hop aroma or flavor. Medium body with a spirited level of carbonation with a slick bubbly mouthfeel. This is surprisingly not a bad brew. I have had worse Export stouts before and if I ever find myself needing a dark beer in Singapore I may give this another go.

From can. Stumbled upon this in the Silver Kris lounge at Changi Airport (Singapore). Was a little surpised to see a Stout to start with, even more surprised to discover it was 8% ABV. Poured jet black with a good dense and creamy tan head that for me lasted pretty will and left a heap of lacing. Aroma was mainly molassis and roasted malt with a hint of alcohol. Taste is per the smell with notes of coffee and a fairly alcoholic finish. Feels nice and creamy while the carbonation holds up, but gets a little watery towards the end. Not bad considering it is not "widgetised".
All in all a pleasant surprise.

3.93/5 rDev +18.4%
Brewed by Cambodia Brewery under licence.
The colour is pitch-dark, the low compact head is brown; it sinks slowly leaving some lacing.
The smell is sweet with notes of dried fruits (apricots, apples, raisins...), marzipan, cocoa, some alcohol, a sour hint and some very mild bitter flavours.
The taste is very creamy and sweet with distinct notes of fresh apples and other fruits. There are some notes of roasted malt and marzipan, but also chemical hints of crayons. Some very mild bitter flavours give some balance. The aftertaste is very sweet and extremely fruity: Apple juice, kiwi, pineapples, pears, plums... The finish brings some hints of cocoa and coconut.
The carbonation is mild, the bubbles are very small. The liquid is smooth.
Probably one of the fruitiest non-fruit beers I have had. A real treat.

Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, liquorice, some dark chocolate and hints of coffee. Well balanced with the alcohol well integrated. Drink with spicy food. Sweeter than is typical for the style. Smooth and quite delicious. Very nice stout I had passing thru at the airport in Bangkok!

This version I tried was brewed and canned in Myanmar under license by "Myanmar Brewing Co." Maroon can with a lion motif. Has won awards all over Europe if you believe the can. 8% ABV, no freshness date.
Tried at a small Italian restaurant in Nyaung-U, Bagan, Myanmar.
Pours a very deep black, with a coarse-bubbled espresso crema head. Reasonable lacing.
Nose is reasonable for a stout. Lots of coffee, hint of roasted sourness. Ends up feeling a little weak however - no doubt because it's served ice cold to counteract the cloying heat here.
Extremely ashy strong palate. Very stout indeed. Crisped blackened malt, with a hint indeed of maraschino lingering around the back. Palate stays dry and powdery for a long time. Ends up feeling almost puckieringly sour.
Actually pretty robust and impressive, especially once it's warmed.
While Myanmar should be on of those places where no one should ever have thought to brew a stout (and in fact, brews exclusively a pale swill to chug down a parched, dry throat), I was impressed to find this.

Not a bad beer, and certainly one of your better options in Southeast Asia. Supposedly brewed by the "Archipelago Brewing Company", for Cambodia Brewery LTD, by Asia Pacific Breweries. Yeesh. Appearance is a deep brown with a small tan head that stays around for awhile. Nose is sweet chocolate malts and sweet alcohol. Taste is roasty malts, some ash, sugarcane, and well-hidden alcohol. Mouthfeel is decent, maybe a bit thin for a stout but not bad. Drinkability is ok if you watch out for the 8%.

Can from a supermarket in Singapore. From notes.
A - Poured near black with some light coming through the bottom. Fluffy two finger light brown head. Very nice lace all around the glass and a half finger of retention.
S - Cola, some chocolate, a little roast. Warmed up with some good chocolate, but not a whole lot going on.
T - Quite sweet. Cola, some roast, sweet dark malt, again more chocolate as it warms.
M - Mild dusty bitterness. Lot's of sweetness and a tad cloy. Mild carbonation, full body.
O/D - Can't really fault this. It didn't wow, but it held its own and was a good alternative to all the lagers around.

Oh yeah, a nice 640ml bottle from a buddy that went over to Singapore. (He also brought a Tiger beer which was almost crap). THIS, though, was pretty darn good. Excellent coal black pour that kept producing a massive foamy tan head. Malty chocolate in the nose.
The quaffs: almost like an Irish dry stout; gritty, lite in the malty start, would finish hoppy. Pleasant hints of burnt toast and even a little anise. Nice lingering aftertaste. Full bodied and bold I could tell it packed some alcohol, and I see it was 8%.
Nicely drinkable in the fall/winter otherwise the alcohol was a tad too prevalent.

Best by date of May 2013 on this piece of tin. (Well, aluminum.)
This pours a thick cola black in color with a rich malty cocoa-colored foam topping. There's a sweet malty aroma with some roasty undertones. The flavor is richly sweet and malty, with some roast and a cocoa-coffee note rounding it out. Finishes sweet and strong. Full bodied, thick, and since this was my first beer after traveling almost two weeks through a dry country I savored every sip.

ABC Extra Stout pours with an average-sized light brown head that, despite some nice lace, mostly diminished over the duration of the drink. I found the sweet aroma to be somewhat heavy and reminiscent of molasses and roasted nuts.The flavour wasn't unnecessarily complicated and both the initial sip and the aftertaste were heavy and quite bitter; the duration of the finish was long. Full on the palate, ABC Extra Stout was lively carbonated and, despite a creamy texture, was slightly marred by a chalky finish. I don't think I would drink this stout with food but it isn't too shabby and I would like to try it again.
You can really taste the 8% alcohol in this one!

323ml Can in Chinatown, Singapore (SGD$3.5):
Dark brown to black with a creamy looking, tan brown, 0.5cm head that turns creamy lacing.
Roasted malts and some barely with some alcohol & sweetness to the beer with some darker fruits and a bit of grain too. Chocolate & some spice at the end.
Sweet with roasted barely and darker, more rich malts. There is a little coffee and some cocoa with a strong alcohol kick. A semi-bitter finish but the sweetness dominates.
Medium bodied and quite sweet with some alcohol& a bittersweet finish with a creamy feel and relatively light carbonation.
A pretty average foreign stout that was mainly a sweet and strong tasting one with a few subtle fruit and chocolate notes in the background but not enough for my liking if I'm honest. It was certainly a drinkable beer but there are definitely more than a few beer foreign export stouts to be found out there.

I got this several times while I was in Burma, and I thought it was super delicious. Nice robust and creamy flavor, a welcome dose of rich flavor after all the pilsners and lagers that are the stock and trade of the Asian beer market. It's good for you!

I had this nice stout while eating local food at Maxwell's Food Court in Singapore. It came in a tall dark bottle, poured into a frosted mug. The color was a beautiful dark brown, but the scent turned me off a bit -- a little too roasted even for a stout to the point that it smelt burnt. However, once I tasted it, I found that the flavors were complex and delicate for a stout, and it made the drinking a joy. Often, stouts can be overpowering and relentless with the nutty thickness of the brew. However, I found that this particular stout has a nice punch with the alcohol level as well as a refreshing finish that made me think back on it on many occasions.

I had the canned version in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, described on can as: Archipelago Brewery Company ABC Stout, Brewed and Canned by Cambodia Brewery Limited under license from Asia Pacific Brewers.
A - mahogany black
S - espresso, possibly some sour notes
T - espresso w/ a very bitter finish. Generally expect at least some sweetness w/ an 8% alcohol content but this went across the palate like thin bitter espresso leaving a sour, coffee grind aftertaste hanging around like a tired relative
M/F - thin for the style & flavor profile, mild carbonation.
O - Unimpressive, especially for the style, didn't even finish the last swallow. It appears this version was contract brewed, doubt this is the intended result

Full name of this beer is Archipelago Brewery Company ABC Stout, Brewed and Canned by Cambodia Brewery Limited under license from Asia Pacific Brewers
A - Rich small off white head, snotty lacing and jet black body.
S - Sweet pineapples??? Booziness.
T - I was it by a shock of bitterness on the first sip. Perhaps because I wasnt expecting it after that light weight aroma. Afterwards, sea salt (ie does not taste as if someone dumped table salt into my beer), tons of charcol and bit of sweetness.
M - Smooth. Can conditioned???

This report documents the most recent emissions and projections information requested under the National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD) by the end of 2009. The directive requires all 27 Member States of the European Union to report information annually concerning emissions and projections for four main air pollutants: sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and ammonia (NH3). These pollutants harm both human health and the environment by contributing to formation of ozone and particulate matter and by causing acidification and eutrophication. To help protect human health and the environment, the NECD sets pollutant‑specific and legally binding emission ceilings for each of these pollutants and for each country, which must be met by 2010 and thereafter.
