Vancouver Island's growing number of breweries, cideries and distilleries add to the region's reputation as a top-notch culinary destination.
Unassuming breweries handcraft traditional and new flavours, infusing elements of the island's landscape and ingredients. Brewpubs offer their creative take on favourites and serve them with tempting west coast cuisine. Join a tour and tasting at Tofino Brewing, Gulf Islands Brewing and Fat Cat Brewing. Toast to the centuries-old history of beer in the Craig Street Brewpub, a restored English-style pub with an antique bar.
Ciders and spirits are other time-honoured drinks being produced here. Merridale Estate Cidery's sprawling orchard produces eight varieties of artisan ciders. Island Spirits' premium vodka and gin are intended to be sipped and savoured.
Looking for more? Victoria is one place to find a fantastic selection of craft beers, spirits and ciders.

Tofino Brewing Company is easily inspired by the town's surf culture and west coast setting – their logo is a cresting wave, and a water conservation program is among one of the ways they're brewing sustainably. Five beers include the Tuff Session Ale and Dawn Patrol Coffee Porter.
On Salt Spring Island, Gulf Islands Brewing is a "cottage brewery" that crafts a small collection of ales using local spring water (piped straight from mountain to brewhouse). The beers are best tasted in the unique brewery: a large, rustic, wooden barn. Try the Heatherdale Ale – it's infused with heather flowers from the renowned Butchart Gardens near Victoria.
In Nanaimo, two breweries offer a handful of beers to choose from. Taste one of Fat Cat Brewing's five brews, including an ale made with honey from New Zealand. Surgenor Brewing's two flavourful beers makes sampling easy – just try both.
Craig Street Brewpub's restored 1940s pub in Duncan has exposed timbers, dark paneling and a wood burning fireplace – a great ambience for savouring the four delicious, in-house brewed beers. Enjoy a tall glass at the 100-year old bar, outside on the street-side patio, or with panoramic views from the rooftop patio.
Dine and drink with the locals at Longwood Brewpub, an upscale Nanaimo pub that serves west coast cuisine to complement their brewed ales, lagers, stouts and bitters.
In the Cobble Hill area of the Cowichan Valley, Merridale Estate Cidery is a must for cider novices: eight handcrafted ciders, four fruit brandies, and a limited edition cider vinegar cover nearly all things cider. Take a tour, sample products at the tasting bar and snack on brick oven-baked pizza from the ocean-view patio. Or relax with a spa treatment in the orchard.
Island Spirits' smooth vodka and gin are made from pure spring water and local botanicals like juniper berries, licorice root and lemongrass, grown near their Hornby Island location. (Both spirits are even rumoured to be so pure they don't cause hangovers!)
The annual Nanaimo Beer Festival (April) draws brewers from BC, Canada and as far as the Netherlands. Chase local smoked salmon and other appetizers with a glass of locally brewed or imported beer.
The Tofino Beer Festival (September) is a small festival that hosts a handful of BC brewers each year. Enjoy the live music, tasty treats and delicious beer, all from an oceanside setting.

|Edition of 1920. See also University of Massachusetts Amherst on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, at Amherst, Mass., a coeducational institution, chartered in 1863 and opened in 1867 by the State. The college farm is 660 acres in extent, about 175 acres of which are devoted to the campus, 75 to the experiment station, 100 to horticulture and 250 to farming. The work is experimental on the part of the students. The regular course extends over four years, but special courses are given for women desiring to study dairying, market gardening and some other subjects. Winter courses are provided for those unable to take the four years' work. The regular courses lead to the degrees B.S., M.S., M.Agr. and Ph.D. In 1918 the number of instructors was 60 and the students in attendance about 570. The library had about 45,000 volumes; the buildings and grounds were valued at $850,000 and the equipment at $450,000.

While it's fairly pricey at $289, the German-made Beyerdynamic T 51 p is one of the best...
The $30 Sennheiser HD 201 headphones are a great value aimed at the infrequent user who's simply looking to upgrade from poor-quality stock earphones without spending a ton. The HD 201s are far from audiophile quality and lack the low-end oomph of pricier headphones from the competition, but we do recommend them to casual listeners who will find satisfaction in their comfortable build, balanced sound, and affordability.
Design and features
The HD 201 headphones are a full-size pair that incorporates a circumaural (over-the-ear) design and includes a 1/4-inch gold-plated adapter that easily pops onto the 1/8-inch plug. A limited swivel design is implemented into the hinge of the frame, and each earcup pivots slightly back and forth allowing one side to stay in place while the other side is off.
The oblong pads are black, replaceable, and primarily made of a leatherette material and foam padding with a cloth interior sewn in. The right and left earcups tip 20 degrees forward and back to its original position, although we can find no desirable benefit to this feature aside from its ability to fit a range of head shapes and sizes. The outside of the earcups are accented with an oval-shaped silver and black design, and the rest of the frame is black.
The hard plastic adjustable headband is well-padded inside the crown, and lightweight materials add comfort so little pressure is put on the head; however, the headband tends to focus its weight onto a small patch that touches the skull. As a result, the headphones tend to slide back and forth quite often. The HD 201s feel lightweight albeit slightly flimsy, but they survived several of our drop tests to prove their durability.
The traditional dual-sided, nondetachable, 10-foot straight plastic cord exits from both ear cups and terminates at the 1/8-inch plug--not exactly ideal for travel, but roll it up and it's not a big deal. The cords inside the cups are snug and secure.

Why a Town of 9/11 Survivors Is Fearful Their Community Will Be a Natural Gas Sacrifice Zone
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
When some 9/11 responders--many with health issues from that crisis--sought to regain their health, many settled in the small town of "Guns and Hoses," the nickname of Minisink, N.Y. The many police and firemen who live there (in keeping with residency parameters imposed on NYC emergency service employees) never could have foreseen that within a few years, Minisink (located north of NYC) would become a high-risk zone for gas explosions and contamination, thanks to a plan to build a major compressor station for a gas pipeline--smack in the center of town.
Wherever it is drilled, shale gas travels all across the country. The gas is carried to and fro via miles and miles of pipeline slated for construction as part of a multi-billion dollar investment in infrastructures necessary for a conversion to the use of shale gas. This investment is being made even though the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has determined that current rates of gas output reveal that the available gas reserves can only fill U.S. energy needs--not for the fictional one hundred years--but for a mere dozen years at best.
Therefore, as Bill Moyers and Chris Hedges discussed in a July 2012 "Moyers & Company"--some American communities are quietly being redefined as "sacrifice zones" which are "destroyed for quarterly profit. We're talking about environmentally destroyed, communities destroyed, human beings destroyed, families destroyed," Hedges told Moyers.
While the Minisink plan is being undertaken with minimal forethought or plan to minimize damage, what makes Minisink different is that many of its residents are Ground Zero first responders and survivors who know what can happen to the health of people in target zones. Due to the high rates in respiratory disease and cancers following toxic inhalations at the original Ground Zero, the 9/11 first responders residing in Minisink have direct personal experience of the health dangers posed by explosions and contamination. That's why the town's opposition is near unanimous.
The plan for a $43 million compressor station to be built by NiSource over-rides the town's pre-existing zoning along with the wishes of over 90% of its citizens says Pramilla Malick of Stop MCS, a local grassroots organization which works with the Minisink community. Eight hundred people have registered critical comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which regulates pipelines. The compressor station, which if constructed would abut the property of a 9/11 widow, would generate high decibel noise 24/7 and emit the same carcinogenic and neurotoxic chemicals which a 2010 Colorado School of Public Health study found increased cancer levels near gas drilling sites.
Further, pipelines have a record of dangerous explosions. "A 2010 explosion in San Bruno, California cost eight lives and destroyed dozens of homes and properties," says Clare Donohue, the director of SANE, the pipeline opposition advocacy group based in NYC. In the last month, "Four homes went up in flames and collapsed in charred heaps" in Sissonville, West Virginia after a natural gas line "exploded in an inferno that raged for at least an hour, melting guardrails and pavement on a swath of Interstate 77," it was reported on the Huffington Post. No one perished because the explosion occurred during the middle of the day, a time when, "They were just lucky enough not to be home," said WV Governor Earl Ray Tomblin.
The risk of explosion is increased by the speed of gas transport. As slated for the Neversink segment of the pipeline, the velocity will "clearly exceed prudent design standards and safety margins ... (necessary) to avoid gas transmission pipeline rupture," said engineer Richard Kuprewicz who reviewed the plans. Using "such high actual gas velocities for a natural gas transmission pipeline raise serious questions... Project is a poor proposal and should be rejected," he recommended. A nearby location in a less populated area, which the townspeople have proposed for the compressor station is a "solution that does not risk public health and safety," says NY State Senator Tony Avella in a letter to FERC officials.

Photographing Life Stages
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
One of the primary reasons that we pick up a camera is to record life events and life stages. Photographing people who are in their infancy, adolescence, prime, and old age present opportunities to capture beautiful, memorable moments specific to each age. As the photographer, we wish to be prepared for any given circumstance so that we don't miss fleeting chances to capture a mood, a gesture, or a shining example of the person's inner personality. To help prepare for your photography session, take the following recommendations into consideration.
Infants – Infants are warm, soft, delicate, and innocent. Photographing them should be a reflection of these qualities.
Recommended Settings: Indoors, swathed in pattern-free, solid colored blankets or clothing. Bounce a single off-camera flash or constant light source off of a softening reflective surface; light the baby from the side. Or, photograph in natural light coming from a northern-facing window. Go for simplicity rather than using busy backdrops or props. Fill the frame with the baby's features, and concentrate on the small details (eyelashes, fingernails, etc.).
Recommended Gear: A fast lens for indoor shooting, like a 50mm f1.4
which produces lovely soft images and great bokeh. A tri-grip reflector (such as those sold by Lastolite). Solid-colored backdrops and throws. A Boppy Pillow for posing the infant.
Children and Adolescents – Children and adolescents are starting to discover their personalities. They are vibrant, in motion, curious and constantly explore the world around them. Photograph them candidly at play and in motion.
Recommended Settings: Outdoors, at a playground or park. Shoot candid shots from a distance to catch their natural movements and expressions. Capture action shots (shoot in continuous or burst mode). Photograph the children's interaction with their peers, their parents, and their pets. Pose some shots of the children being still, but for the most part allow them to just interact with their environment.
Recommended Gear: A good quality telephoto lens, such as a 70-200mm f/2.8. A Speedlite or other external flash to use as a fill light for closer shots.
Teens and Young Adults – Teens and young adults are discovering where they fit into the world, and are defining their personal identity. Work with them to define the photographic "look" that they would find to be the most pleasing and representative of their personalities.
Recommended Settings: Life milestones, such as after getting their driver's license or before heading off to the prom. Sporting events should they play baseball, basketball, football, or cheer for their school team. Studio portraits with both casual and formal outfits. Performance shots of the subjects participating in their hobbies and passions (dance performances, musical recitals, etc.)
Recommended Gear: A variety of lenses to accommodate most circumstances – a short-range wider angle lens such as a 17-55mm f/2.8; a telephoto lens for action shots and portraiture such as a 70-200mm f/2.8L; a prime lens for great background blurring such as a 50mm f/1.4. Pack an external flash and reflectors for location work. Speedlites, Softboxes , and Strobe Lights for studio work.
Adults – Adults are driven, responsible, and goal-oriented. They're also busy parenting, working, and managing a home. Encourage them to fit a photography session into their busy schedules to document this important stage in their lives.
Recommended Settings: Hold a formal portrait session for those whose schedule demands the structure. Otherwise, a less formal atmosphere – at home, at an event, out on the streets of their favorite city – provides for a great memory in addition to the desired photographs.
Recommended Gear: As with teens and adolescents, choose a variety of lenses, external flashes, strobes, reflectors. Stick with a lens that has a wide focal range – like a 28-300mm – for taking pictures while out and about, so you have a single lens that will cover any circumstances without having to lug your gear bag around with you.
Elderly – The elderly have reached the point in their lives when it is time to slow down and enjoy the benefits of their life's work. Honor their lives with a photography session that reflects their history and influence.
Recommended Settings: Choose a tranquil setting – such as in their home or garden, or at a nearby park. Allow them to choose the surroundings and placement that is most comfortable to them. Introduce whimsy and nostalgia into the photographs – include beloved possessions, pets, self-grown plants, or framed black-and-white photos of their younger days.
Recommended Gear: A 70-300mm Lens for portraits or candid shots, or a 135mm f/2.0 for high contrast and great bokeh. Avoid the use of a flash, instead use constant light sources and reflectors to achieve even and dramatic lighting without creating harsh shadows. Experiment with high contrast black and white adjustments in post-processing.
I hope you find these recommendations to be helpful! Feel free to offer your own suggestions in the comments.

In the year ended Feb. 2, same-store sales fell by a whopping 25%. Penney lost $985 million, or $4.49 a share. The shares have plunged nearly 60%, to $15, since our story ran.

Johnson began with the backing of Penney's two largest shareholders: Pershing Square Capital Management and Vornado Realty Trust, which owned a third of the stock and held board seats. Last week, Vornado sold 40% of its stake and is likely to sell the rest. Johnson has already restored discounting, but Penney has cut 19,000 jobs, or 14% of the total, since the start of 2012.
The board is said to be giving Johnson's plan another year to work, and seems stuck with it in the way that passengers are stuck on a train hurtling toward a collision. "It's hard to see how a new leader can right the ship, given the massive changes being implemented, especially the 'store-in-a-store' concept, which is behind schedule," says David Berman, a hedge-fund manager and retailing expert who has derided Penney's overhaul since day one.
The stock market now values Penney at $3.3 billion, down from almost $8 billion last year. It is hard to see why it might be worth more, given the lack of buyers for a retailer with a national footprint and ongoing asset sales by rivals like Sears Holdings SHLD -0.7509762691498949% Sears Holdings Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD33.04 -0.25 -0.7509762691498949% /Date(1419026400472-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 816701 AFTER HOURS USD33 -0.04 -0.12106537530266344% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11402 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 3519024524.39087 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 135309 More quote details and news » (SHLD).
Penney owns 426 of its 1,100 stores and has cheap leases on the rest, but Vornado's willingness to cut and run calls their value into question.
That, in turn, is creating concerns about liquidity. Penney has $930 million in cash and a $1.85 billion credit line. If same-store sales fall another 10% in the first quarter, Penney will burn through $400 million in cash, says J.P. Morgan. Hedge-fund investor Berman foresees "vendor panic over a steadily worse balance sheet."
Rick Snyder, an analyst at Maxim Group, thinks Penney's real estate is worth roughly $50 per square foot. That would not be enough to cover Penney's $2.9 billion of debt. Snyder's price target on the stock is $10, about a third lower than it fetched last week.

With my hectic work schedule, I don't get to go on vacations that often. In the past, many of these vacations were far from perfect - sometimes, we chose the wrong resorts and at times, we just picked a destination without thinking it through and realized there wasn't much to do once we landed there. Thanks to my daughter who found your site. We have booked 3 holidays already and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Thanks so much for making our holidays the way they were supposed to be!Amit Kelkar

The WWE Hall of Fame is devoted to members of the wrestling community and select celebrities who have help promote or worked for the company in any capacity. Members have included wrestlers, managers and promoters, from the roster of WWWF/WWF/WWE and outside the company. But, it should be noted, that while members might not have ever performed for the company, the WWE did purchase WCW and ECW, and the video libraries of NWA, AWA and World Class Championship Wrestling. There are also celebrities inducted into the Hall of Fame who have played a part in past WrestleManias, or other television events.
At present, there is no facility for the Hall of Fame. The company has been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse for decades. All items have been categorized and dated in case a facility is created.
Selection to the Hall of Fames is not done by a voting process as there is no voting committee. It starts and ends with the owner of the WWE Vince McMahon. If you are not in the good graces of Vince, the chances are you will not be inducted no matter how great a wrestler you were. For instance Macho Man Randy Savage. You can not be inducted if you are presently working for another wrestling promotion. Wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were inducted before they decided to wrestle with Total Non-Stop Wrestling. Wrestlers families, such as Owen Harts, do not want anything to do with the WWE and have refused to have him inducted.
The WWE started the Hall of Fame on February 1, 1993, on Monday Night Raw, as a way to honor wrestling megastar Andre the Giant. Andre had passed away five days earlier and the WWWF wanted a way to pay its respects to one of its stars. To pay their respects, the WWWF produced a video highlight of Andres career. It was Andres death that caused the creation of the WWE Hall of Fame. From 1993-1996, the wrestling superstars were inducted into the Hall of Fame. With the exception of Andre the Giants induction, which was on Raw, no others were tape for showing on TV.
WWE resumed the Hall of Fame in 2004, which was to coincide with WrestleMania XX. This ceremony was not broadcasted on television, it was released on the WrestleMania DVD. The broadcasting of the Hall of Fame began in 2005, with only the last few inductions being televised on Spike TV (2005), and USA network (2006-present). They were aired on tape delay. The Hall of Fame ceremony, in its entire form, has been included with the WrestleMania DVD set since 2005.
There are currently 113 inductees of which 90 members have been inducted individually, six tag teams have been inducted, one stable, the four horsemen, and one family has been inducted. Sixteen members have been inducted posthumously. The Von Erichs were inducted as a family, while The Funks, The Briscos, The Valiants and The Samoans were inducted as tag teams. Ric Flair is the only wrestler to be inducted twice, as a singles wrestler in 2005, and as a member of the four horsemen in 2012.
Next Week the we start a 13 part list of HOF Inductees.
The following will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:
Ultimate Warrior
Jake "the Snake" Roberts
there will be more announcements in the future
There are rumors circulating, from reliable sources, that CM Punk has told Vince McMahon he is going home even though his contract expires in July 2014. CM Punks name has been taken off of all house shows, and Raw and Smackdown. As it looks now he might not be in this years WrestleMania.

(CNN) -- Justin Bieber's capuchin monkey -- famously seized by German customs officials after the singer brought it on tour without the right paperwork -- is now out of quarantine and about to join a new "family" in a German zoo.
The young monkey, Mally, was taken to a Munich animal shelter after he was confiscated at the end of March as Bieber arrived in Germany on tour.
But the capuchin has now been transferred to the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, near Hanover in northern Germany, to start life with his new family -- six other capuchin monkeys.
Mally was transferred Wednesday to the zoo's new monkey area, consisting of a tree-covered island -- dubbed "Mally-bu" -- surrounded by a moat and equipped with a house for its seven residents.
He's the first to arrive on the island and the others will be introduced gradually, if all goes according to plan, zoo spokeswoman Juliane Gunkel told CNN.
The other capuchins are three males and three females, one of whom was born around the same time as Mally and is known as Molly, Gunkel said.
Justin Bieber in accident involving pedestrian
While in quarantine, for several weeks at the animal shelter and another month at the zoo, the monkey clung to a stuffed toy thought to have been given to him by Bieber.
But the zoo is confident he'll adjust to his new life quickly, Gunkel said. "He is very clever and he's the right age, not too old" to fit in, she said.
Bieber had until May 7 to present the right paperwork to reclaim his pet -- who's now 27 weeks old and weighs a little less than three pounds -- but failed to do so, Gunkel said.
As a result, Mally is now the property of the German government, and the Serengeti Park is acting as a caretaker for the creature. The park was picked because it was the only zoo in Germany that had a family of capuchins for Mally to join.
Bieber had better slow down, neighbors say
The zoo contacted the pop star's management to tell it about Mally's new home but did not receive a response, Gunkel said. She doesn't anticipate a visit from the pop star to the zoo.
So far Bieber's fans, known for their devotion to the 19-year-old singer, have not been rushing to the Serengeti Park, but some questions have been posted on Facebook and the zoo's website, she added.
Bieber's representatives declined to comment at the time the animal was confiscated.
Karl Heinz Joachim of the animal shelter told CNN in April that the monkey was "not distressed" but was too young to have been taken from his mother.
Mally was about 14 weeks old when he was brought to the shelter, and would have been only about 9 weeks old when he was reportedly given to Bieber in March, Joachim said.
CNN's Ivana Kottasova and Frederik Pleitgen contributed to this report.

|Nevada State Museum Presents Long Beard: Warren Wasson, Indian Agent & U.S. Marshall
June 23, Doors open at 6 pm; lecture at 7 pm
June 6, 2011
Carson City, Nev—Author and historian, Robert W. Ellison, presents a lecture, Long Beard: Warren Wasson, Indian Agent & U.S. Marshall, at the Nevada State Museum Thursday, June 23, 2011, from 7:00 – 8:00 pm. The lecture is based on Ellison's book, Long Beard: Warren Wasson, Nevada Pioneer, Indian Agent, U.S. Marshall, Inventor, and Enigma, published by Hot Springs Mountain Press, Minden, Nevada. A limited number of books are available through the Museum Store. Robert Ellison is a resident of Carson Valley, an area rich in history. A lover of heritage and a good story, Ellison spent over four decades traveling the Nevada and California ground that Warren Wasson and his contemporaries traveled.
Warren Wasson was a frontiersman, a 49er, a scout, an Indian Agent, a Deputy U.S. Marshall, then U.S. Marshall, a U.S. Tax Assessor, a delegate to two constitutional conventions, and a military advisor to three of Nevada's Governors. In his spare time, he was a father, farmer, miner, and inventor. In the end, with his disappearance, he became an enigma.
Robert Ellison received his bachelor's degree from Cal State at Fullerton, his master's from UNR, and did doctoral work at Claremont Graduate School. Ellison previously published two other works about Nevada's past: The Territorial Lawmen of Nevada, Vol. 1 and First Impressions, a history of the Emigrant Trail through Carson Valley.
The Nevada State Museum actively engages people in understanding and celebrating Nevada's natural and cultural heritage. Due to mandatory state budget restrictions, the museum is closed Sunday – Tuesday, and open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Wednesday – Saturday. See the changing exhibits: Nevada: The Photography of Cliff Segerblom, Slot Machines: the Fey Collection, and Selections from the Collections, featuring historic fashions. Admission: $8 for adults and free for children 17 and under and museum members. For information, call (775) 687-4810.
The Nevada State Museum is one of seven managed by the state Division of Museums and History, an agency of the Nevada Department of Cultural Affairs. The Department serves Nevada's citizens and visitors through cultural and information management, presentation and promotion of cultural resources, and education. The Department also includes the State Office of Historic Preservation, Nevada State Library and Archives and the Nevada Arts Council. For more information, please call (775) 687-8393 or visit the department's website at www.NevadaCulture.org.

"The A350 hasn't flown, but it has the same game plan as the 787, to be as efficient as possible in a smaller package," Hamlin said. "Singapore took 20 of them while returning bigger planes and taking (a few) A380s.
"We've seen that aircraft with too many seats haven't done so well," he added. "As (former AMR CEO) Bob Crandall once said, 'Nobody ever went broke with an aircraft that is too small.'"
United is the first U.S. carrier to fly the 787, but ANA, Japan Air Lines and Ethiopian have flown the aircraft to and from the U.S. Of the 33 now flying, ANA has 16, JAL has six, Ethiopian, Air India, LAN, and United have two each and Qatar has one. Boeing has 805 firm orders. Potential orders from American (AAMRQ.PK) and Delta (DAL), which inherited an order from Northwest, have not yet been booked and are not counted.
Despite "teething problems," customers have been happy with the 787, said aviation consultant Scott Hamilton. "I haven't heard of any airline having any particular problems with the airplane once it entered service," he said. ANA and Air India briefly grounded aircraft due to engine problems.Like many major construction projects, the 787 arrived late and over budget. The first delivery was three years late and, even last week, questions arose about how quickly the next three United 787s will arrive. Boeing long ago admitted to major flaws in its execution of a plan to outsource key components to an array of vendors around the world. In setting up a second 787 plant in Charleston, S.C., Boeing stepped into the hornet's nest of Congressional anti-labor hysteria, which the company reeled in by negotiating a new contract with the International Association of Machinists in 2011. Now, the IAM is seeking to organize the Charleston plant. In August, Australia's Qantas Airways said it would cancel orders for 35 787s; the airline still has options for 50 of the planes. In March, China Eastern cancelled an order for 24 aircraft. But orders come and go. Boeing once had about 860 orders. Now, it has orders for 805 after delivering 33.

Addon Spotlight: DrDamage
Each week, WoW Insider brings you a fresh look at reader-submitted UIs as well as Addon Spotlight, which focuses on the backbone of the WoW gameplay experience: the user interface. Everything from bags to bars, buttons to DPS meters and beyond -- your addons folder will never be the same. This week, the doctor is in.
Welcome to the first Addon Spotlight post-Cataclysm edition! With the release of Cataclysm and the subsequent changing of environments, instances, raid and dungeon progress, and everything in between, certain addons that we've come to rely on continue to thrive or slowly die out as the world's needs change. Little forgotten addons, we salute you and hope that you find a way back into our hearts.
This week, your HMO better cover out-of-system doctors, because we're going to the best. Occasionally called "Doctor TMI" among my friends, DrDamage is a beefy little addon that adds a completely new level of understanding and information to your damage and healing abilities. Sometimes you learn a little too much about your skills. Nonetheless, DrDamage is a unique addon that can help you feel your way through Cataclysm's new skills and abilities, making you a heroic king again in no time.

Retired CTA vice president is Preckwinkle pick for Metra board
SUN-TIMES MEDIA September 30, 2013 1:02PM
Updated: November 2, 2013 6:11AM
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle says her next pick to served on the Metra board is a retired CTA vice president.
Romayne Brown has more than 30 years of work experience at the CTA, moving up from conductor to vice president of operations, according to a statement from Preckwinkle's office.
As vice president of the CTA, Brown developed and administered policies and procedures to "ensure the timeliness and safety of rail transit service to more than 500,000 customers daily," according to the Preckwinkle statement.
"Romayne Brown's job was to make sure the trains ran safely and on time. Her decades of transportation experience will be a great asset to the Metra board, which needs someone who knows what it takes to operate a mass transit rail line," Preckwinkle is quoted as saying in the statement.While at the CTA, Brown also held the titles of superintendent of rail personnel and general manager of rail operations, overseeing functions for the Red, Purple and Yellow lines, according to Preckwinkle.
Brown, a South Side native who has lived in Dolton more than 20 years, retired from the CTA in 2010.
"There are few opportunities that could lure me out of retirement," Brown said in a statement. "Taking on this new challenge appealed to me. I want to help Metra, one of the largest commuter rail systems in the country, return to its primary focus of providing more than 300,000 passenger trips a day to commuters."
If Brown's appointment is approved, she would replace Stanley Rakestraw, who resigned in August. Preckwinkle asked for Rakestraw's resignation after learning he moved to a downtown Chicago condo after his home in suburban Flossmoor burned down.
Several Metra board members have resigned amid controversy over former Metra CEO Alex Clifford's $718,000 buyout. Clifford resigned June 21, citing the pressure he was under to make political appointments.
Rakestraw held a seat on the Metra board representing the city's suburbs.

This chapter reviews transportation of the Rockwall Independent School District (RISD) in the following sections:
- A. Organization and Staffing
- B. Routing and Scheduling
- C. Safety
- D. Fleet Maintenance and Management
Each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 440,000 public school buses travel more than 4 billion miles and daily transport 24 million children to and from schools and school-related activities. School buses make an estimated 10 billion student trips each year.
In a study from 1998 through 1999, NHTSA compared the number of fatalities of children ages five through 18 during normal school transportation hours and found that school buses are 87 times safer than passenger cars, light trucks and vans. This safety record is achieved through bus design and construction, the bus operating condition, the planning of the bus route, the location of the loading zones and the school bus driver. While the construction and safety equipment of school buses is critical, a safe driver is also essential in preventing accidents.
Over the years, school bus driver selection and training activities have improved significantly. In the 1970's, the NHTSA issued standards for school bus driver training. In the early 1990's, the Federal Highway Administration required that all school bus drivers possess a commercial drivers license (CDL). To attain this license, bus drivers must pass knowledge and skills tests, be subject to random drug and alcohol testing, pass a biennial physical examination and pass a criminal background check.
Driving the school bus is not the only task required of school bus drivers. Before a bus leaves for its route, the driver must conduct a physical check of various vehicle systems, such as brakes, tires, lights and steering, to ensure that all systems meet requirements for safe and proper operation. Drivers must also discipline children on the bus and handle any medical or other emergencies that may arise during the trip to and from school or school-related activity. Many drivers must also attend to unique requirements of students with special needs, which frequently require additional training.
RISD evaluates all bus drivers behind-the-wheel at least twice each year to verify their skills and effectiveness in managing student discipline. During the evaluation, the Transportation Department's administrative assistant:
- monitors the driver's pre-trip and post-trip inspections, including: lights, tires, emergency doors, windows and hatches, gauges and post-trip walk-through to check for students that might still be on the bus;
- evaluates the driver's appearance, attitude, courtesy and proper use of the radio;
- monitors the cleanliness of the bus;
- evaluates the driver's methods of student discipline and management, including speaking to the students in a friendly manner, addressing students with respect, following the district student discipline management program and general student behavior;
- evaluates the driver's operation of the bus, including observing posted speeds, observing school zones, proper hand position on the steering wheel, complete stops at stop signs, handling of the bus in traffic, proper turns, proper use of mirrors and driving smoothly during acceleration and braking;
- monitors the driver's procedures for loading and unloading students, including setting the air brake at every stop, following the approved bus route, arriving at stops in a timely manner, properly using flashers, ensuring students are seated before continuing, ensuring students remain seated until the bus stops and signaling students on the left side of the street before they cross in front of the bus.
The administrative assistant performs additional evaluations if a driver is involved in an accident and anytime the director of Transportation deems it in the best interest of the district.
The RISD Transportation Department monitors and evaluates bus drivers behind-the-wheel at least twice a year.
The RISD Transportation Department established an Accident Review Committee to review every accident involving an RISD school bus. The committee includes a bus driver, policeman, mechanic, driver trainer, director of Transportation, executive director of Operations and the driver involved in the accident.
The Accident Review Committee reviews the details and cause of the accident, who was at fault, how the driver might have avoided or prevented the accident, the driver's accident history, the seriousness of injuries to bus passengers and any maintenance issues with the bus. If the committee finds the driver is at fault, the committee can recommend action against the driver, including additional training, probation and termination. For example, regarding an accident involving a bus backing into a mailbox, the committee determined that the driver did not follow proper backing procedures and did not use the bus mirrors correctly, so the committee required the driver to undergo four hours of additional training specifically pertaining to backing procedures and the proper use of mirrors.
The Accident Review Committee's role has expanded under the new director to include work-related injuries. For example, after a transportation employee tripped over the wheelchair ramp at the entrance of the south transportation center, the committee examined the facility. The committee determined that the ramp was not properly painted with yellow safety lines and requested the ramp be painted. The Accident Review Committee will begin transportation facility inspections to identify other safety problems and recommend actions before they create problems for employees.
RISD uses an Accident Review Committee to review all accidents involving school buses and recommend appropriate actions.
In order to prevent drivers from inadvertently leaving students on the school bus, RISD instituted the "Empty Sign" Program. At the end of a bus route, a driver must walk to the back of the bus and attach a special card to the inside rear door window, which is visible from outside the bus, indicating that the bus is empty. While walking to the rear of the bus to place the sign, the driver inspects around and under the seats for any student who might still be on the bus.
After all buses have returned from their routes, a supervisor checks the back of all buses to see if all drivers attached their signs. If not, the supervisor immediately checks the bus for students and takes disciplinary action against the driver. During the next pre-trip inspection, the driver removes the sign and keeps it at the front of the bus until the end of his or her route.
The RISD Transportation Department effectively uses an "Empty Sign" program to prevent drivers from inadvertently leaving students on the bus.

Definitions for archiveˈɑr kaɪv
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word archive
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
ar•chiveˈɑr kaɪv(n.; v.)
(n.)archives, a place where documents and other materials of public or historical importance are preserved.
Category: Library Science
Usu., archives. the documents and other materials preserved in such a place.
Category: Library Science
(v.t.)to preserve in or as if in an archive.
Category: Common Vocabulary, Library Science

Origin: From archives, from archivum, from ἀρχεῖον.
Webster Dictionary
the place in which public records or historic documents are kept
public records or documents preserved as evidence of facts; as, the archives of a country or family
An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities. They have been metaphorically defined as "the secretions of an organism"—rather than those that have been consciously written or created to communicate a particular message to posterity. In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings. A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.

By the time town clerk April Hessman closed and locked the doors to the Pagosa Springs Town Hall at 7 p.m. on April 23, thus closing the polls for the town's special election, a total of 384 ballots had been cast—nearly 33 percent of the registered voters of the town.
All of the ballots were tallied by 7:45, and in the end 291 people said "Yes," thereby changing the town's Home Rule Charter so that Town Council would not be able to put amusement rides on Reservoir Hill without getting approval from the electorate. Only 93 people voted "No."
Of the 384 total ballots, 96 were from citizens who actually showed up throughout the day to cast their vote in person, while 288 were mail-in ballots.

See her Story, Sense her Story!
I have never found more value in the old saying that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. I will not reduce the value of this picture by writing about what I feel every time I see the picture, because it is not about me, it is about her. I will also not try to write her story, because I do not think there are words that can carry the weight that is her story. Looking at her face, her eyes one can feel her story.
Day of Redemption
It is her story spoken about with a thousand words just from one shot, one look into her life, and it makes me realize that we must continue to fight for the rights of Mothers's and children in order for all to be true to choose their lot in life instead of having it chosen for them, us, you, me, one and all. I am reminded of one of our sisters Samantha who is now being held in prison in Laos for drug possession. She is a British citizen. Since being contained in jail, she has become pregnant, of course by rape. They now want to give her the death penalty, despite the fact that she is pregnant, so it is for her, this mother/child and all other sisters suffering that today, I offer a pray of redemption.
where is the world going?
This makes me think of so many others like her!
How can such cruelty exist and what needs to be done to change that
attitude! Where is the world going?
What is she today?
Is anyone helping her out anyhow?

What people fail to realize is, painting on a large scale goes way beyond basic painting skills. You gotta play by a whole 'nother set of rules. I'm learning, I'm learning.
A few years ago, I painted a little girl's nursery for a family friend. Not something I do all the time, but it was a small bedroom, near my house and they were really flexible with the hours I could paint. Turned out fantasticals.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I got a call from the same family friend who wanted me to hook up the spare room she was making for her five granddaughters, who also happen to be my nieces. Was that confusing? You can figure it out. Follow along!
She wanted their names in pretty script and some bows in pink and brown. I was thinking, bows? Like Christmas bows? Hmmph. Well, okay. Simple enough.
She asked how come I didn't take on more projects like this to make money and I had to confess. It's just too difficult. First off, large scale is challenging for me. Second, my fat ass up and down a step ladder? Um, no thanks. And thirdly, it's a scheduling nightmare. Having to work around my husband's schedule and trying not to exhaust my only faithful and capable babysitter (grandma-mama)...well, in the end, it's just not worth it. But, because I did her other room...and she's practically family...and I know she'll pay me well...and she's got really good snacks at her crib...I said, yes, of course.
So this was the project I was working on a couple of weeks ago. Took me three days. I should say, it took us three days. Without Michael's help, it would have took me way longer. Way, way longer. He put his mural/sign painting expertise to use and helped me with the layout, which is always the most difficult. I can't tell you how thankful I was. He kept saying this was like having a romantic date with me, with each of us painting in our own respective corner.
So sweet.
That is the amazingly awesome part of being married to a fellow artist. He made the work fun. And it was nice to get some peaceful time alone to paint without being disturbed once. I even got to listen to the waterfall that was right outside the window, which was so nice. It made up for almost going partially blind and insane painting script on a very textured, bumpy wall.
But it came out fantabulous. The script? Very feminine. The bows? Classy. I am very pleased with how it turned out.
The chalk we used to put down the pounce pattern was making a mess, so we ended up just using the brown paint sort of like a stencil.
Michael was trying to photograph his hot mess of a wife. Don't think so! Above the doorway read: I am a child of God. The yellow is the stencil.
She wanted her grandchildren to wake up and read the words, "You are my sunshine."
Putting the finishing touches...really, you could just keep going, touching up little things here and there, but you have to realize it's going to be seen from a distance. It takes discipline to stop perfecting every single line!
Miss Amarah's wall and all those cute curlicues.
Miss Stella Purple happened to get her own wall...so I had to give her a little extra oomph, hence the bow tilted to the side. Her own gangsta lean, if you will.
All the names are tied together by the bows and ribbon. And all those swirls? I was kicking myself in the butt later on! Heehee
This is a close-up of the textured wall. I don't know how people who paint outdoor murals do it. That is alot of work! It wasn't easy. But in the end, it turned out lovely!
