I wear these sunglasses everywhere and I don't go anywhere without them. I love the way they look and they are so versatile –whether on the course or riding around town I'll be looking through these lenses.
Over the years, I have owned a number of sunglasses from Bolle to Oakley to Spy. Oakley sunglasses are the best glasses I have ever owned. They are comfortable, stylish, and stand up to the wear of use and longevity.

In Their Own Words
Mar 2, 2010
"The Pentagon's decision to begin making so-called morning-after emergency contraception available at military bases around the world marked welcome, if overdue, progress in meeting the health needs of women serving the United States in the military… Next, Pentagon officials and members of Congress need to address the callous treatment of servicewomen with regard to abortion. Under current rules, military doctors may perform abortions only in cases of rape, incest or when the women's lives are endangered. And even in cases of rape and incest, the women must pay. It is outrageous that politics is allowed to interfere with the health care decisions of women who wear the nation's uniform."
--"Respect for Women in Uniform," New York Times editorial, February 15, 2010
"Until women and girls are liberated from poverty and injustice, all our goals – peace, security, sustainable development – stand in jeopardy… Maternal mortality remains unacceptably high, too few women have access to family planning, and violence against women remains a cause for global shame. In particular, sexual violence during conflict is endemic… Early and forced marriage, so-called honour killing, sexual abuse and trafficking of young women and girls are disturbingly prevalent and, in some areas, on the rise. Whether looking through the lens of poverty, or in times of disaster, we see that women still bear the greatest burden… On this International Women's Day, let us look critically at the achievements of the past 15 years so we can build on what has worked and correct what has not. Let us work with renewed determination for a future of equal rights, equal opportunities and progress for all."
--U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a message for International Women's Day, February 26, 2010

Article By: Sandy Block, MW
ALTHOUGH THE ECONOMY is not exactly in partying mode like it's 2OO7, you'd never know it by the recent fortunes of Champagne in the US. Demand for the finest prestige cuvées is high and prices are through the roof. Despite gloomy economic forecasts and a slight decline in overall volume, Champagne sales in dollars increased in 2O12 and the trend continued for the first part of 2O13. Leaving aside Europe's dismal performance, this is the same overall pattern worldwide, with volumes down and revenues higher, reflecting the renewed appeal of the highest quality and most costly bottles.
Why are we drinking better quality, longer-aged Champagnes in greater numbers than we've seen in years? Has it finally gotten through to consumers that Champagne is one of the greatest drinks with food, that it's not simply a celebration beverage? Not likely. Enjoying Champagne at dinner, as opposed to beforehand, is still rare in the US. Despite the fact that the top wines are highly differentiated by origin, or that they age for a lengthy period of time on the lees in bottle, it still appears to be more about brand recognition than anything else. Champagne companies spend an extremely high percentage of their budgets on marketing so very often the message about different style, or indeed even how the terroir of the region determine the wine's character, gets lost . The wines are positioned to capture the luxury consumer market, as opposed to the specialist consumer wine market. That's why blind tasting is so important in evaluating the many wonderful entries in this category.
In my experience, Champagne as a category is uniformly high in quality across the board and has been for several years. Choosing one over another often involves more a question of style than other considerations. My personal preference is for the chalkier more understated style, as opposed to the absolute richest or fullest flavored examples. Having said that, blind tasting is the great equalizer. One point it was impossible to miss in this year's tastings is that the Non-Vintage Champagnes show a lot less autolytic character than in the recent past. Rushed to market? Not necessarily, but the preponderance of older reserve wines that just a few years ago seemed to dominate the cuvées has been mostly absorbed.
The following highly recommended selections were all tasted blind and, at least to me, stood out among their peers for excellence. They are listed in ascending order of preference.
Brut NV is the most difficult Champagne to make as it's assembled from the largest number of individual cuvées and must consistently reflect the house style. It's also the least expensive and the most important in terms of volume. The House of Roederer is a rare family owned producer that still controls a vast majority of the grape sources for their Champagnes. It has a smoky, toasty quality, with undertones of mushroom, red fruit and minerals. Ripe and a bit spicy, it has great lingering cherry-like acids that reflect the largely Pinot composition of the blend.
Ayala is the only non-German, non-French name in Champagne. Founded in 1864 and based in the Montagne de Reims region, this small house has very little market exposure but makes consistently fine cuvées. It has always been known for its bone dry low dosage purist style. With 6O% red grapes and 4O% chardonnay, the Brut Majeur avoids malolactic and features a quite minerally, wheat and herb-scented aroma, with clean lemony apple flavors and a lingering elegance. Smooth, tart and savory, this definitely expresses the elegant bone dry side of the Champagne equation.
Yes, the Emperor has clothes! Yellow Label gets bashed sometimes for being so popular, but the last several years this cuvée has dried up quite a bit and it now shows a definite precision and suppleness that it may have once lacked. Impressive for a wine that is produced in such volume, this is a toasty, medium-bodied, tangy Champagne whose lingering citric liveliness leaves the palate quite refreshed. Always based on Pinot Noir, with less than a third Chardonnay in the blend, it has a substantial mouthfeel and texture.
This Epernay based fourth generation family producer sources grapes from dozens of small growers throughout the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne; they own no vineyards and use a very high percentage of Meunier in the blend. Among the very few Champagne houses that ferments in small oak casks and prevents malolactic fermentation, Gratien also does hand riddling and ages the wine for a longer time in bottle than most house's NV's to produce a Champagne that is biscuit and lush, with creamy textures and a lovely balance of dried fruits, nuts and minerals.
Back to the power, this third fine example of the 2OO4 harvest has an engaging aroma of buttered toast and fruit compote. Seamless on the palate, with lush red fruit notes and a core of electrifying acidity, this might last and develop over an even longer time frame than the previous two. It has a sensual almost enveloping warmth that to me is archetypal of the Bolly style.
At the opposite end of the spectrum from Bollinger stylistically, Taittinger's NV signature wine exudes Chardonnay. Equally creamy, but clean and citrusy, it is beautifully balanced between acid and fruit, with green apple, vanilla and toasted bread notes prominent. Delicate but rich, its gentle flavors linger through the chalky mineral finish.
This current incarnation of the great original tete de cuvées features a smoky, ripe cherry-like aroma, with scents of baking bread, dates and hazelnuts. It shows a stronger direct fruit statement than previous vintages I have recently tasted and is a bit more tight and aggressive on the palate. Richly textured but without the wine's signature expressiveness at this stage. Dom Perignon is estimated to account for 5O% of the tete de cuvée luxury market in the US.
A 5O/5O blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (L-P was the first house to include substantial proportions of Chardonnay in their blends), sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages, including Ambonnay, Bouzy, Oger, and Chouilly, this lovely Champagne ages for seven years before disgorgement. Displaying classical elegance and balance, with subtly smoky spice and crisp, lemony fruit, this 2OO4 walks a line between opulence and crystalline purity. It also tastes as though it has several years of wonderful development ahead. Although not widely known, vintage Champagnes of this quality definitely repay cellaring if stored properly. Laurent-Perrier is another family producer whose cuvées rarely disappoint.
This iconic wine is another 5O/5O Chardonnay/Pinot blend sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages. This vintage of the Champagne in the yellow wrapper features lots of bread dough scents, with undertones of lemon, apple and hazelnuts. There is a pure core of tart acids that make a statement on the palate. Sharp and piercing at first, the citrus notes are eventually supplanted by pure minerality. A wine to savor.
The flagship wine of this renowned family owned house lives up to its storied reputation: toasty, lush, apple-like, with an unmistakable dominance of Pinot Noir, a tangy creaminess and an extra dimension of flesh. With 7O% of the fruit sourced from Bollinger's own vineyards, the components of this superb NV blend average 5- to 6-years-old. The finish is spicy and resonant.
Despite the eye catching Belle Epoque enameled bottle, the renowned flower bottle is by no means just another pretty face. Delicately yeasty and almost floral in tone, the substantial acids here provide great structure for the wine's expressive appley fruit. This venerable tete de cuvées is beautifully layered and silky on the palate. 2OO4 was a year of both high yields and concentrated flavors in Champagne, and this engaging cuvées certainly reflects its early charms.
Classic Chardonnay: ripe, creamy and apple-like, with a whiff of toasted nuts. The Comtes is to me the epitome of finesse. It is understated and round, but with phenomenal balance. Crisply edgy, with subtle vanilla, herb-like and chalky flavor tones, this Champagne is 1OO% Chardonnay from the Cote de Blancs. As it evolves in the glass, understated mineral notes surface, while mouth-filling racy green apple flavors offer textbook Blanc de Blancs satisfaction.
It was wonderful to discover that this magnificent Champagne is back on its game; it hadn't showed as well in recent blind tastings, but this totally distinct and assertive Champagne outclassed the field in 2O13. With a perfume of orange blossom, herbs and a touch of butter, the "multi-vintage" Grand Cuvées is lean, clean and beautifully integrated on the palate. It's extremely spicy and mineral-driven with distinctive earthy rich flavors. It's also in a league by itself for an NV in price and in concentration of flavor.

HAVERHILL — Police are searching for two men who carried out what officers said appeared to be a coordinated attack on a 34-year-old man who was walking while listening to music on his headphones.
Police said one of the suspects was on foot while the other was riding a bicycle when they came up from behind the man and hit him in the back of the head, causing him to fall to the ground.
The two suspects then began beating the man, who told police they took a gift card and $70 out of his pocket and also took his iPad mini and headphones.
The robbery happened Tuesday at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Main Street and was reported to police at 8:25 p.m.
Police said the victim was taken to Merrimack Valley Hospital for treatment. When detectives interviewed the man, he was conscious and alert, but appeared to be in pain, police said.
The suspects were described as being about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, police said. One of them was wearing a Minnesota Twins baseball cap, police said. Detective Megan Buckley is investigating.

Standing in front of the pumps at a Medford gas station Wednesday, Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., challenged President Barack Obama to deploy the federal strategic petroleum reserve to combat skyrocketing crude oil prices.
"The president should begin now to deploy the strategic petroleum reserve," Markey said. "We have 730 million barrels of oil, if we are ever going to use it as a weapon to protect ourselves against Saudi Arabia, against Libya, against speculators, now is the time."
Saudi Arabia has taken 800,000 barrels of crude oil per day off the global market, and Libya removed 1.2 million barrels, Markey said. Barrels of oil were trading for over $112 Wednesday on the New York Merchantile Exchange.
"We run the danger of having this price of oil not only tip consumers upside down at the pumps, but also sending (sic) us back into a recession," Markey said.
Markey, a member of the Natural Resources Committee and senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, addressed the media at a press conference outside Medford Gas, just south of Medford Square on Main Street Monday afternoon. The price for unleaded gas at the station was $3.96 per gallon.
Along with Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, bloating oil prices can also be blamed in part on speculators on Wall Street, Markey said. He also criticized Republican proposals to cut the commodoties futures trading commission in half, which is charged with regulating oil speculators.
"It is important for the United States to take action because the American consumer is under attack from Libya, from Saudi Arabia, and from speculators in the oil marketplace," he said.
The strategic petroleum reserve has previously been tapped in 1991 by George H.W. Bush during the Persian Gulf War, by Bill Clinton in 2000, and by George W. Bush during the Katrina crisis.
In each case oil prices dropped, Markey said.
"This is a weapon we know does work," he said.
The White House has not indicated they will use the reserve, Markey said.
"I think the time has arrived," he said. "I think they have to do it now."
Markey also announced he has submitted legislation that would repeal about $40 billion in tax breaks for oil companies over the next 10 years.

CATEGORIES MoviesOne of the best things about working online all day is the ability to watch an infinite amount of strange/hilarious/bizarre videos. For the 35th anniversary of "Star Wars" (which is today!), Moviefone has decided to unearth such a clip.
Back in 2005, George Lucas and Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) sat down for an early edition of Moviefone's Unscripted. (The video was done for the promotion of "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.") Their taped discussion is perhaps one of the most awkward "Jedi"-related videos in existence. Whereas the prequels came across as straight up awful, this video is so awful it's good.
For your enjoyment, the full video has been posted above. Below are the seven most awkward moments from their discussion.
1. Hayden reading off the teleprompter. (0:27)
2. When George asks Hayden whether Darth Vader wears briefs or shorts. (Uh, we think you mean boxers, George.) Somehow, the answer is more cringe-worthy than the actual question (1:15)
3. Why did George Lucas not start the franchise with Episode I? "I don't like beginnings." Well, that explains a lot about the prequels. (2:19)
4. How did Hayden feel to be edited into the end of "Return of the Jedi"? -- "I got a real kick out of it" (7:25)
5. Lucas's (really) awful explanation of why he edited Hayden into the end of "Return of the Jedi." "It was added in because it's a way of finishing off the entire series. The idea was that your inner person would go back to where we left it off, when it turned to the dark side -- when you got burned up and everything. But before you got burned up, so when you come back to the good side of the force, it's your former persona that survies, not the Darth Vader persona." (7:50)
6. "Well, I look forward to it." -- Hayden trying to sound interested in George Lucas's next project. (9:21)
7. Hayden admitted he was sick of being asked how he would deal with typecasting after the "Star Wars" prequels. Luckily, Lucas has some words of advice: "Just say I am going to spend the rest of my life making blockbuster movies and billions of dollars. Somebody's got to do it [Laughs]" (10:05)

The band has come to life. We've now played two shows, a third is coming up Saturday, and a fourth in July. And somewhere in there, we're going to record an album, possibly a separate EP, and get shirts/stickers/buttons made. Our first show was fun. I was so nervous I got nauseous before I took the stage. It was a mix of nerves and adrenaline, really. I used to puke before every show back in my previous bands, it's weird that "tradition" has somewhat continued. We weren't sure how the music…Continue

Hello family. I, again, have had a lot of change happen in my life. As of Sunday April 20, 2014, I no longer work at Whole Foods Market. That was a huge change for me. It's still fresh, it's been 3 days. I feel...excited, free, apprehensive, a little scared, all of the above and a myriad of other emotions I can't seem to explain. While there, I made a lot of friends, lost a few, and got injured TWICE. Right before Thanksgiving last year, I sustained second degree burns and epidermal loss on…Continue

Life is a series of unshakeable forevers, unbreakable eras, eternal day-to-days.
When I was young, life was waking up to morning light dappling on the purple walls of my bedroom. Uniform laid out carefully on the chair ready for school. Cereal.

Things seem to be ramping up towards a BIG change, and I don't know what it is, or if I should be excited by that or not. It's a feeling I have in my bones. A gut instinct, so to speak.

Last season the Danville Area Community College Lady Jaguars were dominant at home winning 12 of 14 games at Mary Miller Gymnasium.
Following three road games to start the season, the Jaguars made their home debut Wednesday night against the St. Mary-of-the-Woods Pomeroys who play in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association.
Hillary Lively led a balanced scoring effort with a game high 25 points as the Jaguars blew open the game in the second half for a 112-77 win.
Stephanie Lord added 18 points and Javonna Smith chipped in with 16 as all 10 Jaguars scored.
The Jaguars led 59-54 at halftime with Lively scoring 16 of her points in the second half.
"We always sets goals at the beginning of a game, but we knew when the second half started we had to throw those goals out the window,'' Lively said. "We focused on playing winning minutes and being smarter on offense and defense. We knew we could do this and get the win, and knew how they played from playing them last year, but we didn't execute well in the first half.''
The Jaguars got out to a fast start and never trailed in the game but didn't pull away until the final minutes.
DACC led 11-2 and built the lead to 30-16, but the Pomeroys hung around and cut the lead to five points going into halftime.
"We didn't do what we were capable of in the first half,'' Danville Area Community College coach Kyle Bent said. "Tori Stephenson, Megan Hiner (13 points) and Stephanie Lord did a good job of dealing with their pressure as the game went along. Our team is in tremendous shape and has terrific stamina.
"We made a focal point of winning at home last year. You have to win on the road to make the national tournament which is our goal, but we always want our home games to be a big deal.''
Stephenson is filling in for the injured Kayton Cole who last season was the Mid-West Athletic Conference player and freshman of the year.
"The key to breaking the pressure is that you can't go too fast or top slow,'' Stephenson said. "You have to be looking up the court and straight into the defense. I have had to make some quick adjustments since Kayton got injured, but she has taught me a lot and I am learning.
"We look for balance in our offense and I'm a passing point guard.''
Former Covington Trojan Whitney Allen, who had 12 points, hit a 3-pointer allowing the Pomeroys to pull within 67-63, but they would get no closer.
DACC closed the game on a 20-2 run.
"We were able to cut down on the fouls in the second half by getting to more defensive rebounds and by doing a better job of sealing seems,'' Bent said. "We did a better job of getting into defensive position and did less stepping and slapping at the ball.
"We do look for balanced scoring but I think at times we may unselfish to a fault. We started finding a good rhythm in the second half and that is a main key for our offense.''
Former Chrisman Cardinal Paige Thevenin had 10 points for the Jaguars and former Bismarck-Henning Blue Devil Samantha Siddens added six.
"We have been able to pick and chose our minutes with Paige so far,'' Bent said. "She has played some good minutes and has developed more than anyone since the start of the season.
"Samantha gave us some huge minutes tonight. She has also really developed her game, is an excellent passer, and had some big rebounds from the guard position.''
The Jaguars are now 3-1 and they will return to action at home on Tuesday against the Lincoln Trail Lady Statesmen. Tip off is set for 5:30 p.m.
"We are getting sound as a group,'' Lively said. "We are developing a strong relationship off the court and that will show as success on the court.''

WAUSAU (WAOW) - Some unexpected snow fell into the area Wednesday morning. Many of us in the Wausau area woke up to find a winter wonderland outside. But the snow wasn't falling from the sky, rather from a snow making machine on Granite Peak Ski Hill.
"The wind conditions and humidity possibly the way the snow guns were pointed," said lift operations manager, Brandon Marquardt.
Marquardt, the lift operations manager at Granite Peak Ski Hill in Rib Mountain says the snow-making machines on Rib Mountain are to blame.
"It carried over up into the atmosphere and put snowfall over the Wausau area," he said.
A dusting of snow fell onto the roads in the Wausau and Rib Mountain area.
But ski hill officials say it's not the first time something like this has happened.
"We're not shocked about it at all, it has happened before when conditions are right," said Marquardt.
Marquardt says they were making snow as usual, but once they heard the news they immediately shut the machines off.
"We corrected it as soon as we could," said Marquardt.
The National Weather Service released a special statement saying the man made snow was responsible for crashes in the Rib Mountain and Wausau area.
Newsline 9 contacted the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, the Wisconsin State Patrol, and the Wausau Police department to see how many weather related crashes occurred due to this issue, but all three departments said none.
Ski hill officials say it's a learning experience, and snow making machines are what bring Granite Peak Ski Hill to life.
"It's not negative in any way, we're just trying to get our ski hill open," said Marquardt.
Ski hill officials say this incident will not have an impact on their foot traffic. They say they're expecting a huge turnout this week, as the winter storm makes its way through Central Wisconsin.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.
To one Portage County woman, the Ice Bucket Challenge hits a little closer to home.

Calls for 'urgent action' to improve maths standards
Education watchdogs have called for urgent action to improve the standards of maths being taught in schools across Wales. It follows a report showing that pupils here are falling well behind standards being set in England.
The report by Estyn calls for better teaching, assessments and staff training to catch up with standards in other parts of Britain. It highlight's much good practice but concludes there is "too little support for the professional development of teachers of mathematics." Alexandra Lodge reports.

Help me name my hypothetical offspring!
Hello. My fiancé and I are getting married in August, and are planning on starting a family about a year or so afterwards. However we got talking about names for our hypothetical offspring last night, and I think I've caught the naming bug!
Below is a shortlist of my favourites. Please take a look and give me your honest opinions. I'll be taking on my fiancé's surname, which is a short single-syllable name beginning with C. Any children would have this surname also, so we've ruled out any single-syllable first names beginning with C.
Any suggestions on other names we might like for a hypothetical young'uns welcome!
Lorna Evelyn
Astrid Eleanor / Astrid Penelope
Megan Penelope / Megan Tabitha
Beatrice Tabitha / Beatrice Anastasia
Elara Beatrice
Rachael Ophelia
Hester Evelyn / Hester Penelope
Hamish Alexander / Hamish Alistair / Hamish Orion / Hamish Arthur
Rupert Zachary / Rupert Henry / Rupert Tobias / Rupert William
Martin Tobias / Martin Arthur
Peter Leopold
Matthias Henry / Matthias Andrew
(Side note: I really like the name Astrid, but I'm worried it may become very popular, and therefore dated later on. My fiancé is an astronomy buff, hence Orion and Elara, which is one of the moons of Jupiter.)My Top 10 Girls Names: Astrid, Elara, Evelyn, Hannah, Hester, Lorna, Megan, Ophelia, Sylvia, Tabitha
My Top 10 Boys Names: Alistair, Andrew, Graeme, Hamish, Leopold, Martin, Peter, Rupert, Tobias, William
Guilty Pleasures: Athena, Aurelius, Damaris, Digory, Hermione, Isis, Phineas, Loki, Myrtle, Nymeria, Nyx, Orion

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at Real Betis on Thursday to ease into the Copa del Rey semifinals with a 3-1 win on aggregate.
With striker Radamel Falcao out through injury, forward Diego Costa crushed Betis' hopes of advancing when he pounced on a defensive error just before the break in the second leg match.
Betis defender Antonio Amaya headed a high ball back toward his goal, not seeing that goalkeeper Casto Espinosa had charged out of his area. That left Costa alone to collect the ball and roll it into the empty net.
Jorge Molina earned and converted a penalty in the 89th to level for Betis.
Atletico will face Sevilla in the semifinals beginning next week.
Malaga hosts Barcelona later after a 2-2 draw in the first leg.

"I never remember deciding that I wanted to be an actor," explains an 11-year-old Victoria Leigh from her dressing room at Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre. "It kind of just happened."
While her classmates at New York City's Professional Performing Arts School were preparing for the school play, Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, Leigh was busy preparing for her Broadway debut as Dixie in the current revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The young actress had to back out of the school play to begin rehearsals for Broadway.
Although friends and family are hours away, nothing beats belting out the iconic Annie anthems on the Palace Theatre's stage for thousands of New York City theatregoers. "It was very surreal," says Young — smiling ear to ear — about making her Broadway debut. "In the bed, when we get pushed out [onto the stage], the girl who plays July was squeezing my hand so hard, I thought I was going to lose blood! Everyone was so excited for me."
Exciting is how ten-year-old Newsies actor Jake Lucas describes his first night "Carrying the Banner" on Broadway. "It's really, really fun being on stage and dancing with a lot of really incredible dancers — doing all their flips and turns in front of me," says Lucas, who plays the youngest newsboy of the bunch, Les. "It's really, really cool!"Continued...

text: I think that when we get into the async responses, this will have to be part of the VOStore/VOSpace story, i.e. the output goes into a friendly VOSpace location and sends the handle to the result. --Alex -----Original Message----- From: owner-voql-teg at eso.org [mailto:owner-voql-teg at eso.org] On Behalf Of Patrick Dowler Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 2:08 PM To: voql-teg at ivoa.net Subject: Re: Asynchronous querying and tabular data This looks like a pretty good analysis of the situation. The claim is that in typical DAL the queryData is always fast and thus fine as a sync method while in TAP the primary/necessary operation is the async query for a query result because the query is expensive/time consuming. I agree with this in principle and think we should design for async. Since async has not seen much support so far, I feel we have a rather clean slate to start from. However, there are still going to be many cases were a TAP service has modest content, a sync query would work fine, and a service supporting sync query only is much easier to implement robustly. Here I am mainly thinking that when you develop anything async, you bring into the implementation nice things like server-side resource contention, cleanup after some amount of time, controlled access to staged results (via obscurity or security), and all that kind of stuff. For the sync response you just dump it to the output stream and you are done. So, priority has to be to make the async operation very functional and natural, but I think allow a sync-only TAP service to be compliant. Practically, one can write some wrapper code to make an async call synchronous, but I think this is better handled as a client side option. Thus it looks to me like syncQuery and asyncQuery both need to be optional, but you obviously have to support one of them :) Pat PS - Examples of small TAP services I can envision: * Peter Stetson's standard star catalog * proper motion catalog * solar system catalog (think of the fun with region/STC in this one :) * supernova catalog These would all be relatively small and highly useful TAP services. A simple sync implementation is quite feasible. OTOH, we are also building a source catalog to capture results from the entire CADC data collection; I estimated roughly 5-6 billion sources (~5TB)...

Many of you who are reading this can proudly declare you were a part of the community that helped 1097 of Abbotsford's children experience the joy of Christmas!
In total almost 3000 people were helped this Christmas (2013) through the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau. Support from the community came through many avenues this Christmas: by sponsoring a family or senior, attending Ramada's Toys for Tots, participating in a food or toy drive or attending a concert. You made a difference and we are so thankful!
The Christmas Bureau is a part of the Abbotsford Food Bank and has been helping families at Christmas for over 40 years in Abbotsford. In 2013 we were able to help 761 families and 121 seniors at Christmas.
Each year we match hundreds of families and seniors who are in need with groups, businesses, and individuals in the community who wish to share their generosity with those who need it most at Christmas. Be a part of spreading the knowledge that our community cares, and help bring great joy & hope to struggling families over the holidays.
Please find out how YOU can get involved this Christmas by sponsoring a family or senior or hosting an event to raise funds and collect toys for the Christmas Bureau!
Storys that inspire us:
"Extremely Emotional Visit"
We are a staff of 5 and this Christmas we chose to sponsor a family instead of buying each other gifts. We were matched with a single mom with one child. Two of us are single mothers ourselves who have benefitted from the Christmas Bureau in the past, for the other staff it was an eye-opening (and heart-opening) experience. As we arrived at the home, the young boy exclaimed, with joy, that God had sent us. It was an extremely emotional visit.
"Looking to give back during the Christmas Season"
My husband and I are new to the community, and were looking to give back during the Christmas Season. We found out about the family sponsorship for Christmas and really liked the idea. It was a simple process, and nice to be able to directly see where our money was going in terms of food and gifts for a family who need it.

The 380-Degree Size-up for Hoarder Homes
Ryan Pennington proposes an additional measure for size-up at homes that are filled with extraordinary amounts of personal belongings.
"Attack team one to command, Heavy Contents." What does this phrase mean to you? It means that the structure they are in is full of belongings or a "Hoarder Home."
With this growing problem becoming popular in reality TV, the fire service must use the bright lights of Hollywood to keep training on fighting these types of fires. As the near misses and news stories keep rolling in, we all should discuss what it would be like to fight hoarder home fires. Let's take a moment to discuss initial size-up and tactics. A 380 degree size-up (adding 20 degrees to the normal 360) will give you 20 more years in the fire service.
Most of today's officers have been taught to perform a 360-degree walk around the building to size-up the situation. As a common practice, doors, windows, smoke and fire conditions all are being accounted for. Now, let's add another 20 degrees of size up by looking at the owner's vehicle. Why would we take the time to look in someone's vehicle? Well, maybe we shouldn't look at it on every fire, but when we start to suspect that a hoarder condition is involved, the extra few seconds to look into someone's vehicle could give you a world of information.
Let's use the example of a first-arriving officer walking around a single-family home. He notices that the windows are blocked; that's clue number 1. What if the officer has to step over large amounts of belongings in the yard; that's clue number 2. Time to take a peek at their car! As you approach the vehicle, you notice that it is loaded down with a large amount of belongings. Bam, that is clue number 3. You should be ready to face-off head to head with a fire in a Hoarded Home.
An announcement should be made over the radio, "Units responding to xyz street...we have a Heavy Content fire." This should be a cue and a clue to everyone that this house is under stress before the first droplet of water is applied. Many homes that are loaded with belongings have structural issues due to the lack of maintenance. As a decision maker in the most important five minutes of a response, the use of your senses and an extra 20 degrees will help. An adjustment on tactics will need to be made when faced with a hoarded home.
Now that we have established that we may be dealing with a hoarded home, let's attack this monster. To the front door we go. Wait, hold up, and stop a minute. Is the front door the best way to attack? Well, here we go again, it may not be. Some people that accumulate a large amount of belongings will have their house narrowed down to small usable spaces and the front rooms may not be one. Many times the belongings will have taken over the living or family rooms. Some people may have brought so much material into their home that the bedrooms are all that's left that can be accessed.
When we are making our 380-degree size-up, we should find the best point of entry. I agree that most of us will make this decision as would you, but it will become harder when the loads of belongings begin to reach shoulder or even head height. So how do we handle this. I vote to hit it from the outside and use the lack of airflow to help use a steam approach to fighting this fire. Now you're probably thinking, "Did he say use a fog nozzle, mess up the thermal balance, not ventilate and use an outside fire flow directed in to combat this problem?" Yes I did.
