Where are landing fees listed?
Asked by: Tobin Fricke 11139 views General Aviation
Something we never talked about in my primary flight training is landing fees.
How does one find out which airports have landing fees, and how much they are?
Are landing fees common?
How are these fees billed?
The legend in the front of the AFD says that landing fees will be mentioned in the "airport remarks" section, but I haven't found mention of it (looking at the AFD entry for SFO as an example: http://aeronav.faa.gov/pdfs/sw_151_5MAY2011.pdf ).

"You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole."He's not good. He's not nice. He's a jerkass. What he just said is not what the main characters wanted to hear but he's right. The jerkass in question can be anything from your ISO Standard Jerkass or Anti-Hero all the way up to any flavor of Villain (though the chance is inversely proportional to the distance they go down the "slippery slope"). Whoever he or she is, they're seriously deficient in the morals department, at least from the point of view of the perspective characters. Then they have a moment where they say something undeniably true - the good guys don't have to like what he's saying, but they can't deny he's right without deluding themselves. Perhaps even the protagonist is caught on a moral stumbling block, and the antagonist is all too glad to point out their hypocrisy. After all, at least the antagonist is honest about it. The other main reason a character is likely to say "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with him." It's worth noting that the Alpha Bitch and the Jerk Jock, two of the main distributors of this trope, have a tendency toward bluntness. While our hero's friends may be hesitant to insult him, these characters don't really care what he thinks and are willing to say exactly what he's doing wrong, without sugarcoating their "What the Hell, Hero?". A rare outcome of the claim that "We are Not So Different". A response of "Shut Up, Hannibal!" would be out of place, and is likely to get shot down if it appears but a Kirk Summation could work. See also Not Himself and What the Hell, Hero? for situations likely to inspire this. See Don't Shoot the Message for what happens when this occurs in Real Life. Sister Trope to Dumbass Has a Point, The Extremist Was Right, Villain Has a Point and Wisdom from the Gutter. Contrast Strawman Has a Point, when a character who is often unpleasant makes a point that readers are meant to see as wrong and characters dismiss, but which is supported at least in part by evidence. Cases typically involve the listener conceding the point or a trustworthy source agreeing with the jerkass. There is Truth in Television to this trope, and that's all we'll say about that.

Holier than God
16 comments:
This world would be so amazing if everyone just practiced this law. I am going to be just a little bit better everyday! Thanks for your beautiful post!ReplyDelete
I agree with your post. the sadthing is that many churches have become so bound by laws that they;ve forgotten God's command to love mercy, to act justly and to walk humbly. (this is my child's memory verse of the week, taken from Micah. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for this touching post!ReplyDelete
If we could all just treat everyone with love and compassion...
Thanks, Becky Jane. I'm glad this was helpful. Martha, I agree. No one wants to risk looking like a "bad" Christian, so we tend to keep each other under law keeping in the church. It's important to fear God more than man.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Janie! Just a little love and compassion really does make a difference. You never know how badly someone might need that.
Thank you for a lovely and thought provoking post. The world would be a far better place if we all treated others as we want to be treated. Thank you! I'm visitng from voiceboks!ReplyDelete
What a great post and reminder! Following you from VoiceBoks!~LisaReplyDelete
I am all a twitter about life
Find Me on Twitter
It all goes back to the Letter of the Law or the Spirit of the Law. Thank you for the great post - not preachy, just thought provoking and simply reminding us of our duties as disciples of Christ.ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for the comments! Melanie, it took me so long to get a clue about the Spirit of the Law. I wish it were clarified more from the pulpit. I think many Christians struggle under a burden of trying to follow the Letter of the Law. Thanks for your encouragement!ReplyDelete
This was a great expounding about the Law. I think that the hardline behavior towards the law borders on legalism which takes away the intent which is to love God. Glad to have met you via Voiceboks.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Miriam! Yes, I believe that legalism is where we go when we don't want to deny self and love God. Great to meet you, too.ReplyDelete
Wow, amazing post but of course God's scriptures are always amazing...thanks for your great comment on Espanol para Ninos. Hope to see more posts and love reading them:) Glad to connect with you on voiceBoks.ReplyDelete
have a Great awesOme Day!!!
Love this post! Our pastor has been covering the book of Joshua the past few weeks during his sermons. You're right on with the message here. Live with love, pray for the Holy Spirit to guide our hearts and our actions, and as long as we're listening to God's command, we won't go wrong.ReplyDelete
Hope you have an amazing week! :)
Visiting from VB - great blog.ReplyDelete
Thank you for such a thought-provoking post. You are so inspiring!ReplyDelete
P.S. Visiting from voiceBoks!
I love the title of your blog! And this was an inspiring post. My father has a sort of similar story about being convicted to pay what he owed even when it was a tiny amount that most people wouldn't think twice about. He made a phone call on a pay phone (remember those?) and at the end his quarter came out. He couldn't get the phone to take his quarter and he wound up calling the operator to see if she could get the phone to take it. She of course thought he was crazy. The story made quite an impression on me though :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the encouraging comments, ladies!ReplyDelete

Darlington Manufacturing Offshore Wind Sector Gains Gouvernment Support
Teesside and Tyneside have both been named as Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE), which will entitle them to enhanced Government support for securing investment linked to offshore wind. The industry is enjoying massive growth, with nine sites planned under Round Three of the UK's offshore wind development programme in British waters alone and the global market to be worth £1bn. CTC Marine Projects in Darlington will co-operate to promote the region as a natural home for firms in the sector and join forces with other firms in the off-shore wind sector to secure work.

Looking for a whole new way to hit the links this summer? Say goodbye to the standard golf cart of yesteryear – pro golfer Bubba Watson has teamed up with Oakley to design and create the first ever hover craft golf cart, which will soon be able for golfers to rent at theWindy Knoll Golf Club in Ohio on July 27. The BW1 – as the craft has been dubbed – has the ability to float over the neatly manicured greens on a cushion of air, as well as the ability to turn amphibious and cruise right over water hazard.
As Watson explains in the video above, he hopes the trend of hover carts catches on to totally change the way golf is played. Other than simply being very, very cool, the BW1 leaves to footprint or wear on the course, which is a win environmentally, as well as financially for course owners. We also love the that BW1 still maintains many classic elements of the golf cart prototype…they really did make a hover version of the heritage golf cart model, rather than throwing something super new into the mix. Check out the video and photos for more proof that the "future" really is here…even on the nostalgia-loving world of golf!

Today's Video Link
After Stan Laurel died in February of '65, a man named Gene Lester proposed to CBS that there be a big, prime-time special honoring Mr. Laurel and also Mr. Hardy. Lester was an acclaimed photo-journalist, a friend of Stan's and a devout fan of The Boys, and what he had in mind was an hour or two of clips and "talking head" tributes telling the story of the World's Greatest Comedy Team. As the star of a then-current CBS series and a friend of Laurel's, Dick Van Dyke was the obvious host.
The notion was accepted and an hour-long special aired on November 23 of that year and apart from Van Dyke hosting, it in no way resembled Lester's concept. He'd been shoved aside and it had been transformed into a jumble of a variety special with many stars including Lucille Ball, Phil Silvers, Tina Louise, Bob Newhart, Louis Nye, Audrey Meadows…and somehow, they even got Cesar "he's always available" Romero to appear on it. A few of those folks even had a slight connection to Laurel and Hardy. Most did not and the material they performed had little to do with the honoree. The show aired in Red Skelton's Tuesday night time slot and was taped on the stage Red used with most of his crew involved.
Here's poor video of the show in two parts. The most interesting thing in it — and there isn't a lot of him in here — is Mr. Keaton, making what was probably his last appearance. Keaton died a little more than two months after this special aired…and it wouldn't surprise me if he'd asked that no such "salute" be done for him. Fans of Laurel and Hardy seem pretty unanimous in disliking this tribute and many mentioned that a different salute — one assembled and hosted by Chuck McCann for local New York television — did the topic justice and was pretty much what Gene Lester had in mind. I wish I could show you that one but here's the one CBS ran…

|Latakia, Perique, Turkish, Virginia
|Room Note:
|4 - Distinct
|Hearth & Home Signature
This blend was created as a result of a number of requests for something in the same vein as some of the richer Dunhill tobaccos- London Mixture, Standard Mixture Full and Medium. Seasoned English blend smokers are familiar with the warm and rich flavor of those mixtures, and although we didn't try to duplicate any of their tobaccos, we have worked to recreate the general spirit and flavor profile of these currently absent old friends. Members of our sampling group made comments like: "I think you've nailed it." and "I haven't tasted anything like this in years." Find out what they're talking about with our newest- Ambassador's Blend.
"I recently ran out of a blend from one of the major brands but decided to give this a try instead. I am very pleased with this one. It is as good, and better than, the other one and it is a little cheaper as well. This is a cool-burning smoke that stays lit. Great tobacco flavor, complex but well-balanced, and thick creamy smoke. Great buy! H&H is the good stuff."
"I lean toward aromatics so I'm real picky about my Latakia blends. Simply put, I can't find a single negative about this blend.....but can find a whole lot of positives. It's gentle on the tongue while delivering a mouthful of warm Latakia creaminess. For some reason it reminds me of autumn leaves...and that's a good thing. It stays lit and maintains coolness in the bowl. Highly recommend that you give this a try."
"Wonderful English blend. A very smooth and bold flavor, not too strong, not too mellow, burns fairly cool, has a great taste."
"I have received three different Hearth & Home Blends. All three the blends were extremely dry. This is not the way you should receive an order of tobacco. I will try and moisten them up a small bit and see what happens because I smoked one pipe full of Signature Larry's Blend and the taste was not bad, but it's hard to pack, kept going out and had a bite to it. 3 out of 3 negatives. Not really good."

What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do? - page 11
I'm going to get straight to the point. Is it true that nurses have to change "poopy" diapers/patients and or deal with dead bodies? I would love to get into nursing, but those are my deal breakers. PLEASE HELP. All... Read More
- 0May 26, '13 by HorseshoeNot everybody gets used to it. Nursing is not a job for everyone. If the OP is really not meant to be a nurse, better that she realizes it sooner rather than later. Plenty of new grads who don't have a problem with body fluids cannot find jobs. There is no point in having yet another unemployed RN in the mix, particularly one who clearly doesn't have a passion for it.
- 7May 27, '13 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNQuote from Neisha_I'm just realizing that the majority of the replies I received are negative and insulting.
It's a shame because I am only 16 and was asking very logical questions.
If your going to act hurt and be rude, then simply don't comment.
Dear, look at the quote in Esme's signature line. It's from one of my favorite philosophers.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Just because you are hearing something you didn't like or that didn't support your original bias does not mean that it's rude, negative, or insulting. You said at the beginning that all comments are welcome. Welcome to the big people's world-- you got them, and from people with the experience you will come to have but don't have yet.
- 0May 28, '13 by WideOpenHeartNeisha, you asked a very reasonable question.
I could not have taken the "gross" stuff at your age, either.
Why don't you enjoy life and see where you are in two or three years, when you're starting in college?
By the way, there are medical- and health- related careers you can have (such as radiology technician) which do not require much exposure to body fluids, etc.
- 0May 28, '13 by KelRN215, BSN, RNQuote from Neisha_If you refuse to deal with dead bodies or perform basic care, you will not make it out of nursing school. Sorry but that's the truth.-Would employers view 18 year olds with an ADN as fresh-meat, with not enough "experience," or would they likely disregard my age as long as i'm qualified??
-Would you recommend me to pursue another career path, like Diagnostic Medical Sonography, if I refuse to have anything to do with dead bodies or wiping someones ***?
-Also, if you are a nurse, what is daily life like? Do you dread going to work?
Any other advice is welcomed and appreciated.
Keep in mind that I am only 16, and will be graduating high school early next month, June 5th to be exact.
- 1May 31, '13 by RN&momYou are obviously very smart to graduate so early, especially now with all the requirements in high school. I think you need to realize though that it doesn't mean you are mature enough to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. That is not an insult, I was very mature in many ways at your age too (everyone thought I was headed to Harvard) yet I got pregnant at 16... So not so mature after all! Just realize at 16 it's very hard to make life decisions no matter how smart/mature etc you are. I think talking to a career counselor at the college might be a good idea and if you really think you might want to be a nurse don't let the thoughts of any one bad thing stop you. Some of the things I feared the most (hospice) I love the most, I thought back as a CNA, what will I say to someone who's dying, what if I say something dumb, what if they cry?? I was young when I got my CNA license but my first hospice patient I fell in love with the specialty! They are honest, have tons of great stories to tell and there is no better feeling than knowing you are helping a person in their last weeks/days be happy & comfortable! As far as dealing with dead bodies, if you are meant to be a nurse you will realize it is a matter of helping that person one final time. It's not my favorite part of nursing but its not that bad... If you think you want to be a nurse give it a chance, we are all capable of much more than we think
- 0May 31, '13 by windsurfer8Neisha. If those are deal breakers than the deal is broken beyond repair. It is worse than broken. It is totaled.
- 0May 31, '13 by SummerWertzYou're not meant to be a nurse if those are deal breakers for you. You will be dealing with that, and worse, in most health related areas.

Didn't have too much interaction with the staff but what we had was friendly and prompt. The bathroom could have been cleaner (found a hair in the tub) and the room was smaller than I expected it to be. I couldn't imagine sharing that room with a family of 4. Us 4 adult women had a hard time maneuvering around each other to get ready especially with the only bathroom inside of the one bedroom. But it served us well for our one night stay between trips to Disney parks. We enjoyed the beds the most, they were extremely comfortable. Free wifi was a huge plus and also free parking since many hotels in the area charge for parking. Free breakfast was tasty and convenient when rushing out to hit Disney. No need to travel elsewhere. ...

We loved our room because we were close to the lobby, pool, the BBQ area, etc. The staff were very kind, and friendly. The room was very nice, and the beds comfortable. The rooms were always cleaned so nicely. I don't have anything but great things to say about our stay. The breakfast every morning was fantastic. Not only did it help us save money, it was so convenient. It was great that Disneyland was walking distance, so we didn't have to take our car there and pay for parking. Only regret we have is not being able to stay longer!! I would most definitely recommend this hotel to everyone! ...

Glenn Heights sets town hall meeting Feb. 15
By 02/15/2001 00:00:00
Ellis County Press
GLENN HEIGHTS - The governing body of the City of Glenn Heights has announced it will hold a Town Hall meeting Feb. 15.
The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Shields Elementary, at 205 W. Ovilla Road.
The agenda calls for an open discussion, or question and answer period. The panel suggests the following items for the discussion:
n Utilities - Water (irrigation meters, master meter ordinance, electronic meters, rates, wholesale water) and sewer (rates, TRA Red Oak Plant)
n Public Works (organization, roads, sidewalks, meter reading, parks, Right-of-way maintenance, building inspections, animal control)
n Police (organization, staffing, equipment, services, dispatch, jail, code enforcement)
n Fire (organization, staffing, equipment, services, ambulance)
n Finance (budget, bonds, bank balances, service fees)
n City Secretary (property taxes, records administration, planning and zoning, board of adjustments, master plan)
n City Manager (role and responsibilities, city charter, municipal court)
n Mayor and Council (role and responsibilities, economic development, lawsuits, recall)
Several members of the council were targeted in a recent recall drive, while Glenn Heights City Manager Dennis McDuffie drew fire and instigated a rash of employee and volunteer resignations by firing former Glenn Heights Fire Chief Mike Burgett without notice.

"I was out of hard cider, but I did have regular apple cider. I used that plus a splash of cider vinegar instead. Just to make the sauce a little richer for the gnocchi, I added a good spoonful of marscapone. Mmm... good! And so easy!""
"I actually just used the dressing part of this (and the spinach, of course. I substituted white wine vinegar for red wine, though. Instead of the egg, onion and 'shrooms, I did goat cheese, walnuts, and dried cranberries. OMG! So good! Will be making this again and again!""
"I was feeling a bit lazy and decided to trim the calories down a little further by omitting the breadcrumbs and egg wash. Also, instead of putting parsley inside, I used a single basil leaf. Definitely a tasty little dish, but I wish I could've found polenta in the grocery store!"
"This recipie translated really well in the pressure cooker. Like others have posted, I substituted the water for 2 1/2 cups of beef broth and a 1/2 cup of red wine and 3 smaller Yukon gold potatoes. I also added a can of diced tomatoes as I had fond memories of my dad making this addition in his beef stew. Everything cooked in just under an hour (I waited until the last 20m to add the carrots and celery). The beef was fork tender and the taste was spot on!"

You know the scenario. A bug is filed for a JavaScript issue
in production. You update your development server to the same files (allegedly)
that are in production but you can't reproduce the issue. Debugging your
JavaScript code is horrifically difficult, if not impossible, because you're
following best practices and crunching the file using the YUI Compressor.
When I end up in this situation, I turn to a little-known but incredibly powerful tool from Microsoft called Fiddler. Fiddler is an HTTP debugging proxy that filters all the requests coming to your machine via HTTP. It interfaces directly with WinINET, the Microsoft Internet communications stack, so it automatically picks up any requests and responses by programs using this library. By simply starting Fiddler, it will automatically pick up HTTP traffic for Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera. Firefox doesn't use WinINET, so you need to manually set it up to go through Fiddler. You can do so by going to the Tools menu and clicking on Options. Go to the Network tab and click the Settings button. Select Manual Proxy Configuration and enter localhost as your server and 8888 as your port. Click OK to apply the settings.
Once that's done, you're ready to start debugging that production JavaScript. The key to debugging is really to create a readable version of the JavaScript so that Firebug (or any other JavaScript debugger) can be used to step through the code and set breakpoints as normal. To do so, download the file in production to your local machine. Use a pretty printing tool, such as Einars "elfz" Lielmanis' online beautifier to create a more readable version of your code and save it to a local file. It's important to follow this process instead of using your development version of the JavaScript to ensure that you're using the exact same code that is on production; you can more easily rule out deployment issues this way.
After that, you can navigate back to the production server on which the problem exists knowing that your file will be inserted in place of the actual production file. The browser itself is none the wiser that the file has been swapped out, so you're safely able to debug readable code without making any changes to the code on the server. This technique has helped me debug some of the more complex issues I've dealt with at Yahoo!, and I hope that it can help you as well.
Neat trick. I knew of Fiddler, but didn't know it could intercept requests and furnish its own custom responses.
Now the inevitable question: know of any tools to do a similar thing on Mac OS X?
For debugging a weird JS issue, I just copy the error line in Firebug – then go to Information > View Scripts in Firefox's Web Developer Tool bar plugin, find the location of the offending JS file by doing a search for that line. Then I can run the js file in the beautifier link (above) if needed.
If you need to make modifications on a live site but don't have access to it you can also just add entries in your etc/host file (on both Mac and PC) for easy request redirection. For example I can add an entry for static.yahoo.com to point to my own ip, then download their js files to a folder on my localhost and modify them their to debug/see what my changes would look like in the live production system. Works like a charm and on any browser.
Tamper Data plugin for Firefox is also good for tampering with GET/POST requests and you can modify a great deal of information.
@Brad – I haven't yet come across a tool similar to Fiddler on Mac OS X. Though, I'd be surprised if there isn't something out there that is similar.
@Mauvis – I've used those techniques as well, thanks for mentioning the etc/hosts file. That's a great solution, especially for Macs where you can run Fiddler. I'd also echo that Tamper Data is useful for Firefox, but since it only is available for Firefox, leaves a large portion of the A-grade browsers to still investigate in another way. That's why I like Fiddler: I can do it all on one box (a PC, of course). :)
Fiddler! Funny, I just featured it on a recent post myself, and I did find out about Fiddler from a fellow webdev at Y!.
I use it on my windows test machine, and have been looking for a Mac OSX version as well. I took a look at paros which should be cross-platform (seeing as it's Java) and looks like it can do somewhat the same things, but it wouldn't work for me.
The shareware application Charles is a full featured proxy-based web debugging tool. Written in Java, Charles runs the same on Mac OS X and Linux as it does Windows. Charles feature set is very similar to Fiddler's with some neat additions including native AMF decoding, DNS spoofing (no more etc/hosts file editing!), bandwidth throttling, automatic browser proxy configuration, and a built-in reverse proxy server to just name a few additional features.
I highly recommend Charles as it has saved me countless hours by quickly diagnosing tricky HTTP issues like multiple 301/302 redirects and cross-domain Flash problems. It's well worth the shareware registration cost.
I haven't tried it much, but the Charles Proxy is similar to Fiddler, and works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
I like 'Charles Web Debugging Proxy' more than Fiddler, it's really powerful and cross-platform…
Wireshark has a Mac OS/X version, or so it says. Sorry, I'm not a Mac person.
Thanks to those who suggested Charles–I'm giving it a whirl on my personal machine and it looks quite robust!
Really funky icon though.
Fiddler comes with an "automatic proxy configuration" file. Fiddler rewrites this file when it opens and closes, so that it routes traffic through Fiddler when Fiddler is running, but doesn't reference Fiddler when Fiddler is not running. Using this file is a much easier way to configure firefox to use fiddler, as you can configure it once and then just click "reload" when you want to change configurations.
When I switched to infosec (webappsec) from s/w dev several months ago, I was pleasantly surprised that there are a few mature man-in-the-middle proxies that can do what Fiddler can, namely: WebScarab, Paros, burp. All are java based, and very much popular in real webapp vulnerability assessment activities by the actual hacker teams, 'ethical' or not. Try it, you might find them useful even for development.
I should probably mention (since folks are still going to this post) that Fiddler now includes a Firefox add-on (called FiddlerHook). Manual configuration of Firefox's proxy settings is no longer required; simply use the status bar panel to attach/detach from Fiddler.
Thanks much on this wonderful piece! It has saved hours of many folks with whom I shared this info.

Book Review – Photography by John Freeman
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
If you are a beginner photographer looking for a good book that covers the basics, or an intermediate photographer looking to further improve your knowledge base, then I recommend Photography: The New Complete Guide to Taking Photographs by John Freeman.
This is actually one of the first books that I picked up when I was making the switch from my pretty basic point and shoot camera, to a digital SLR. It was written during a time when film photography was more prevalent, but the information and instructions translate easily to digital photography. The book is divided into four sections:
"Basic Techniques" covers everything from the different types of cameras (including film), an explanation of how lenses work, the differences between types of films and film speeds, how to properly hold a camera, explanations of aperture and shutter speed and how the effect photographs, the use of light and color, and the basics of photographic composition.
The section on "Photographing People" covers just that – techniques for photographing people as your subject. Among many other topics, this section covers head shots, full length portraits, group portraits, lighting, backgrounds, weddings, families, children, candid photography, studio photography, different lenses to use for portraiture, and the use of props.
The next section is titled "Travel Photography". It covers photographic techniques for every season of the year, photographing at different times of the day, different types of landscapes (oceans, lakes, desert, etc.), photographing architecture and interiors, wildlife photography, and more.
The final section is titled "Advanced Techniques", and this is where intermediate photographers can find a lot of useful information. This section covers such topics as advanced lenses and their uses, specialty photography such as sports, food, and night photography, producing digital composites, underwater and aerial photography, and the use of such accessories as filters and flashes.
The book is written clearly and provides many images as examples of the technique or topic being discussed. The size of the book makes it rather too large to use as a field guide, but when used as an educational tool or reference book, it will benefit any photographer wishing to improve their skills.

Montello Schools Exceed Revenue Limit (2008)
The Montello Schools Exceed Revenue Limit referendum was a school bond issue on the September 9 ballot in the Montello School District, Marquette County. The purpose of the referendum was to add to the school budget $950,000 per year for two years (totaling $1,900,000 overall) over the state revenue limit. The additional funds will be used to help maintain the school's instructional programs.
The additional funding breaks down to being approximately $150 more per year for the average homeowner.
Text of measure
Be it resolved by the Board of Education of the Montello School District of Marquette County, Wisconsin, the final School District budget shall include $950,000 each for two years, beginning with the 2008-2009 school year in excess of the revenue limit set forth in Section 121.91, Wis. Stats., on a non-recurring basis, such excess to be used to maintain instructional programs during the aforesaid school years.
Passed: 959 voted "yes" and 866 "no."[1]

I am requesting your help in keeping soccer off of the grass area North of the Artificial Turf Fields at Trillium.
I am e-mailing all users of Trillium E & W.
The area is clearly signed and is not meant as a warm up area for groups waiting to use the AT fields.
Quite often the effect is compounded by groups seeing another group using this area, and they in turn also ignore the signage, and so on.
Given the number of groups which use both of these fields on a weekly basis, this public park area will be denuded of grass in short order esp given the weather conditions in the Fall / Winter.
There is also an unfenced playground located in this area which is not a good mix of activities.
Please pass this information on to your groups for their attention.
If you could remind groups or let me know who is doing this it would be much appreciated.
I thank you for your help in this matter.

hardest working woman in show business
Jessica Chastain Makes Time in Her Very Busy Schedule for Madagascar 3
At what point does someone step in and tell Jessica Chastain, "Enough! Chill out! Have a drink. Take a vacation"? The hardest-working woman in show business has signed up for yet another movie — the third installment of Dreamworks' very popular zoo-on-the-loose animated series. Chastain will voice Gia, the jaguar, who is apparently the "moral compass" of the traveling circus that goes rogue in Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. Will Chastain actually get to go to Europe to do the voice work? Can someone lock her in some exotic Mediterranean villa while she's there? Just for a week, for her own good.

Advisory Board
Student Reading Ambassadors Create School Wide Culture of Reading
Contributed by Dr. Richard Hutnik, Principal at Sammy McClure Middle School in Dallas, Ga.
With the help of its
Student Crew
, Sammy McClure Middle School in Dallas, Georgia, won Scholastics national Book Fair contest three times over the past three and a half years, helping to create a culture of reading that promises to bring a lifetime of returns to students.
The goal of Principal Dr. Richard Hutnik has always been to encourage students to enjoy reading for the sake of reading to make them as proficient as possible as readers.
Toward that end, the formation of McClures
Student Crew
has been absolutely critical to the success of the schools reading goals, Principal Hutnik said.
The students who help organize the fair are probably the biggest ambassadors for reading we have in the building. They tell their friends and other students, and word gets around quickly at each grade level as to what they are planning for the Book Fair. This generates widespread interest and excitement for reading, Principal Hutnik shared.
For example, last year the
Student Crew
created the Book Fair theme Its a Crime Not to Read. After asking around the community, the students were able to get someone to donate an old police car quickly named the Barney Fife car which the crew then set up in front of the school in full view of parents dropping off their kids for school. To raise the noise level about the Book Fair, crew members would occasionally sneak into the car and set off its siren.
During another Fair, crew members came up with a Bookoply-themed Book Fair based on the Monopoly board game. As part of the Fairs promotion, the crew featured a large picture of Principal Hutnik on fake dollar bills.
During each Book Fair, Chairperson Rhonda Boggs volunteers Principal Hutnik to serve as a promotional prop.
On one occasion, Rhonda talked me into dressing up as an Oompa Loompa for our Charlie and the Book Factory-themed fair. During another Fair, the crew members dressed me in a county jail uniform and put me in jail. As parents and students entered the Fair, I would yell, Hey I was framed. Get me out of here.
Participation on the
Student Crew
gives students a chance to learn real-life skills, said Chairperson Boggs.
The kids are learning lifes lessons, such as how to set goals, plan, organize, work as a team, and participate in community service which all combine to change the overall culture of our school and the students attitude toward reading, Boggs said.
Members of the
Student Crew
couldnt agree more.
We learn how to play a leadership role, and also how to follow other leaders instructions in order to get the best work done. Being on the crew has taught us how to work well together, and weve learned to do different things by serving on different committees, said Emory.
Fellow crew member Amanda agrees: Being on the
Student Crew
helps me learn how to set goals, to work toward them, and to keep working toward them. Its so awesome to see the final result.
Best Practices to Increase Student Reading
Along with its Book Fairs, McClure conducts other reading campaigns designed to promote a culture of reading throughout the year.
For example, the school now hosts a monthly Readers Breakfast of Champions. Once a month, language arts teachers nominate students who have demonstrated a commitment to reading. Those students are then invited to the media center for a breakfast snack with a guest speaker. They also receive a certificate and a love to read cup and pencil.
McClure also hosts Readers are Leaders events, in which invited guest speakers, including district officials, community professionals, and even high school students, speak to students about the importance of reading to success in school and in life.
During these events, were trying to stress the fact that men and adults read, and that it is an important skill students will use throughout their entire life, said Principal Hutnik. Eventually the kids begin to see that even though these are professional, successful adults, they also love to read just for the pleasure of reading.
Students also give monthly book reviews during the schools morning announcements. A different student each week will give a one- to two-minute summary about a book they have recently read.
The school also holds a year-round Get Caught Reading program in which Principal Hutnik gives away coupons from Chick-fil-A.
While walking around school if I see somebody reading, whether its in the hallway, the classroom, or the lunch room, I give them the coupon for a free breakfast sandwich.
Through its imaginative
Student Crew
-directed Book Fairs and special reading campaigns, McClure has created a true culture of reading, according to Principal Hutnik.
The Book Fairs and special reading campaigns throughout the year have transformed our school in many ways. We emphasize reading at McClure all year long, but our Book Fairs have enhanced the overall culture of literacy at our school. Students have learned that its cool to read, reading is important, and there are hundreds of great books available to them.

Review of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Although still a symbol of prestige and high performance, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren loses some of its former luster due to aging styling and newer, faster competitors that are considerably less expensive.
- Safety
Visceral supercar performance with Mercedes civility, grand touring amenities, outrageous styling, sure to secure a primo valet spot.
Touchy brakes, road noise can be intrusive, manual transmission not available, exaggerated dimensions make for cumbersome maneuvering, performance-to-value ratio not what it used to be.
What's New for 2009
For the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren's final year of production, there's a new limited-edition 722 S model. Otherwise, the only notable addition is Bluetooth connectivity.Read full review of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Full 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Review
What's New for 2009
For the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren's final year of production, there's a new limited-edition 722 S model. Otherwise, the only notable addition is Bluetooth connectivity.
Those who follow Formula 1 racing no doubt know of the long-standing partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. For a time that collaboration extended beyond racecars to the road -- the SLR supercar was created as an homage to racing accomplishments of a past era when drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio and Sir Stirling Moss barreled down unfenced tracks in open-wheel speed machines while wearing little more than T-shirts and leather caps. When the SLR debuted (in coupe form four years ago, followed by a roadster last year), it was anything but retro; it boasted an ostentatious design and cutting-edge technology.
But all good things must come to an end. Although the SLR hangs on for 2009, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren dissolved their road-car partnership in 2008. In addition to the standard roadster, the SLR's swan song is a limited-edition 722 S roadster, which features a full carbon-fiber body and an even more powerful version of the supercharged 5.5-liter V8. The 722 name comes from the car driven by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson in the Mille Miglia race in 1955 (they were piloting a 300 SLR). Only 150 of these retuned, special-edition drop tops will be made.
No matter which version you look at, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren doesn't exactly make a whole lot of financial sense. At half a million dollars, you could park a Ferrari 599 and a Ferrari F430 in your garage for the same amount of dough. Those who want a sleek, modern supercar with stunning good looks and plenty of power to burn could also consider the 2009 Lamborghini Murci�lago LP640, which is just as extreme and checks in at $100,000 less. But there's no denying that the SLR still has plenty of cachet, especially in parts of the country where how much you spend on a car is just as important as how it drives.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is offered solely as a two-seat roadster in a single trim level. Standard features include 19-inch wheels, bi-xenon HID headlights, a heated glass rear window, heated exterior mirrors, a semiautomatic fabric soft top, six-way power carbon fiber sport seats, leather and Alcantara upholstery, aluminum trim, Bluetooth phone connectivity, dual-zone automatic climate control, adaptive cruise control and a seven-speaker Bose surround-sound system with a trunk-mounted six-CD changer. The SLR's list of limited options includes various interior and soft-top color schemes, as well as 18-inch wheels.
Powertrains and Performance
A supercharged 5.4-liter V8 (which is mounted behind the front wheels for optimal weight distribution) powers the rear-wheel-drive 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren with a visceral 617 hp and 575 pound-feet of torque. The SLR 722 produces 650 hp. A widely spaced five-speed automatic transmission translates the engine's brute force into motion. Steering-wheel-mounted buttons enable the driver to shift manually. A brief 3.8 seconds is all it takes for this supercar to rocket from zero to 60 mph, and the top speed for the SLR is an F1-worthy 206 mph. Powerful carbon ceramic brakes and a rear air brake help to bring this beast from 62 mph to a halt in a respectable 114 feet. EPA estimates -- if there's a potential buyer who cares -- come in at a predictably low 12 mpg city/16 mpg highway and 13 mpg combined.
Although no crash tests have been performed on the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, its construction promises a very high level of occupant protection. Carbon fiber, which is extremely light yet strong, makes up a large portion of the car's structure. Steel-reinforced A-pillars and two fixed rollover bars protect the driver and passenger in the event of a rollover. Other standard safety features include airbags, knee-protecting airbags, Mercedes' TeleAid telematics system, stability control, traction control and antilock brakes with brake assist.
Interior Design and Special Features
Half-scissor, half-gullwing doors require some creative maneuvering for the driver and passenger to climb in gracefully. That can be remedied with practice, though preferably not in a public place, since all will be staring. The interior design is definitively German and accented with leather, carbon fiber and aluminum. The engine start button hides beneath a flip-up cover on the gearlever.
The SLR's race-bred carbon fiber seats offer ample support but lack the adjustability most drivers expect. Mercedes custom tailors seat upholstery to the proportions of every vehicle's owner, although those taller than 6 feet will still be out of luck when it comes to legroom. Don't plan on taking this supercar on a long road trip, either, as the trunk offers a mere 7.2 cubic feet of space -- unless, of course, you're the type to just FedEx your luggage ahead of time.
Driving Impressions
When you're the proud owner of a rare machine that boasts 617 hp and F1-inspired aerodynamics and suspension, there's pretty much only one way to enjoy driving it: fast. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roadster excels on challenging roads and accelerates and brakes with the greatest of ease. But there are a few drawbacks. Some might find that the steering lacks feel, and many enthusiasts bemoan the fact that the car is not available with a manual transmission. Road noise is always persistent, but that's to be somewhat expected for a car with this kind of performance. The carbon ceramic brakes are capable of bringing the SLR to a halt, but they're almost too good -- their instant bite makes it difficult to ease into braking.

Martin Audio launch MLA Compact
Wednesday, February 29. 2012
LMC Audio visited Hammersmith Apollo for the launch of Martin Audio's new MLA Compact system.
MLA Compact brings the revolutionary cellular technology behind MLA to a wider range of touring and installed sound applications that do not require the full power and throw of the full-size MLA, or where a smaller, lighter system is called for.
Commenting on the system, Paul Hinkly, MD at LMC Audio, says, "If there's one new system you listen to this year, make it the MLA Compact."
MLA Compact is scalable and versatile and shares the sonic attributes of the flagship MLA. It's compact size (W: 788mm x H: 280mm x D: 500mm) belies its output capabilities - a 12-box array can easily deliver full rock SPL's in a 5,000 seat venue, whilst a 24-box array will approach the output of many 'full-size' systems which have less efficient acoustic elements.
MLA Compact's fully integrated system brings together the latest technologies in acoustic design, amplification, DSP and industry-leading optimisation software - with communications and control via an easy-to-use audio network. MLA Compact arrays can be remotely controlled from the supplied wireless tablet running VU-NET control software.
Class D amplification, U-NET control network and DSP circuitry are integrated within each enclosure, simplifying system set-up and operation and eliminating long, heavy-gauge cable runs - a particular benefit in premium fixed installations. Reducing cable runs to just inches within the enclosure means that all the power produced by the amplifier goes directly to the speakers and is not dissipated in the cables.
With MLA Compact, external amplifier racks are dispensed with - saving valuable space both on tour and in fixed installations. From the outset, MLA Compact has been designed with the financial and environmental aspects of running a system in mind; use of maximum-efficiency acoustic and amplifier technologies reduce both the size and weight of the system, assisting transportation as well as reducing the mains or generator power needed to run the system.
For more information about the MLA and MLA Compact systems contact LMC Sales in London: (0) 20 8743 4680 or Birmingham: (0) 121 359 4535 or email Sales.

LMC Audio welcomes Jotham Jackson to the Birmingham Sales team
Monday, February 27. 2012
Jotham Jackson joins LMC Birmingham in his new role in Technical Sales.
Joe joins LMC following a period of employment with HSBC Bank. He comments, "I was trained in Sales and then worked in the PPI claims department which gave me really worthwhile experience in delivering meaningful customer service".
At LMC he is looking forward to building upon his unique Sales experience and his love of Pro Audio. Joe studied Drama at college, even getting himself an audition at RADA. But the draw of sound equipment was too great, and he knew he wanted to be involved in the Pro Audio industry. In his spare time Joe engineers for a number of bands in his local area, often playing to crowds of between 200 – 600 people. He also plays both the bass and electric guitar.
Commenting on Jotham's addition to the Sales team, James Lawford, Sales Manager at LMC Birmingham says, "LMC's customers enjoy a personal level of service tailored to their requirements. Joe's appointment fits in perfectly with that key ethos and I'm sure that he will compliment the existing Birmingham sales team with his enthusiastic and dynamic personality."
The LMC Birmingham team continue to serve all Northern regions of the UK, including the Midlands, Scotland and Wales. If you are a Pro Audio user and you have a question about equipment, contact James and the team on +44 (0) 121 359 4535 or email Sales at LMC.

Can we change God's mind with prayer?
This is a difficult question to answer. How do we reconcile the idea that our prayers influence God as James 5:16 implies, yet God knows all things as 1 John 3:20 says?
James 5:16, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
How is it possible for us to influence God who has always known all things from eternity? Does God interact with us in some sense of knowing what we will do and decides to do things in response? Or, does God decree whatsoever shall come to pass including our prayers, so that all our prayers are ultimately within his will? The debate within Christianity is deep. However, Scripture is clear. We know that God works "all things after the counsel of his will" (Ephesians 1:11). This means that he includes our prayers in the counsel of his will--from all eternity. But, does God look into the future to see what we are going to pray and then decide what to do based on that? This can't be because it would violate the sovereignty of God who does not react to man's desires and offer "a backup plan" when he "changes his mind." Furthermore, looking into the future to see what would happen would imply that God was learning--which contradicts 1 John 3:20 that says God knows all things. Furthermore, our prayers come from our hearts, and the Bible tells us that God "moves the heart of the king where He wishes to go," (Proverbs 21:1).
On the other hand, James 5:16 says that our prayers can accomplish much. So, we have to ask how our requests to God can accomplish anything if God not only knows what we are going to pray, but has also ordained our prayers from the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:11)? The simple answer is that it is beyond our ability to comprehend. The Bible does not tell us how our interaction with God works, but it does tell us God hears our prayers when we pray according to his will (1 John 5:14). Such is the paradox in which we find ourselves.
Paradoxes occur only when there are absolutes. It is absolutely true that God knows all things and has ordained whatsoever shall come to pass (but this does not mean that he causes people to sin). It is also true that God desires that we pray. So how do our prayers influence God when he has ordained those very prayers to occur? Again, we don't know.
It would seem, however, that we "influence" God when we are in his will. In other words, if we are walking in the will of God and we ask God for something in prayer, then we are more likely to receive an answer because we are doing what he wants. In contrast, if we are out of the will of God and we ask him for something, he will not give it since it is not in his will. So, if we are walking in the will of God and we pray, we are praying according to his will; and our prayers are answered in the affirmative. However, if we are not in his will, they're not answered in the affirmative. Therefore, the issue isn't if God answers our prayers--because he does. The issue is whether or not our prayers and ourselves are abiding in God's will so that our prayers will be answered.
We are the ones who need to have our wills changed according to his desires--not his will changed according to our prayers.
