AstraZeneca to cut 2,300 more jobs worldwide Struggling drug company AstraZeneca says it will cut 2,300 more jobs worldwide on top of the layoffs at its Fairfax headquarters that were announced Monday. These new cuts fall mostly outside the U.S. and part of a worldwide restructuring plan. A company statement indicates the elimination of these positions will result in a one-time $2.3 billion restructuring charge. The company anticipates the cuts will produce benefits of about $800 million per year by 2016. New CEO Pacal Soriot said the company's goal is to be a global firm with a "focused portfolio in core therapy areas." The company's finances have been hurt as generic competition has damaged sales. AstraZeneca announced Monday it's cutting 1,200 jobs in Wilmington, eliminating hundreds entirely and relocating the rest outside Delaware. |

Hello there,
A few questions..
1) Why are there only three Explored Markers provided? It appears possible that up to five could be required at one time under normal rules. Is this a hard limit; such that a fourth person coming out of a gate would just fall back into it during the Encounters Phase?
2) Do flying monsters that land in a street area move to an adjacent location area during their movement if an investigator is there, or do they only move into street locations (or the Sky)? The way the rules are currently explained, it appears that after their first movement, flying monsters can never move back to a any location area again.
3) With Innsmouth, are you allowed to place clues on the track even if you are delayed in the Innsmouth Jail?
4) What happens if you have the Innsmouth Look but there is no Deep One in the monster cup to transform into?
5) This is just a matter of opinion, but how many expansions, and what expansions, make the Miskatonic Horror exapansion worthwhile?

Seven sand mines in Buffalo County have been approved thus far. County leaders have been drafting new regulations for the controversial industry for months during a moratorium that prohibited additional new mines from obtaining county permits. On Monday, the public will have the chance to provide input on the proposed new rules governing sand mines, rules that will dictate the future of frac sand throughout the county.
The Buffalo County Zoning Board of Adjustment will hold a public hearing on the draft mine regulations on Monday, April 1, at 9 a.m. at the Buffalo County Courthouse in Alma. The zoning board will vote on a recommendation to go to the Buffalo County Board on the matter, and the County Board will hold a final vote on the issue sometime in April. Peter Stoltman, Buffalo County zoning technician, said there is a full agenda for the County Board meeting on April 16, and the board may elect to hold a special meeting to consider the sand ordinance prior to April 30, when the moratorium will expire.
The sand, which is used for the hydraulic fracturing process used to harvest oil and natural gas, has stirred controversy in the region, as the demand for the product has prompted many new mine proposals throughout Western Wisconsin and Southeastern Minnesota. Some residents have become activists against what they feel is an industry that could prove harmful to air, water, land values and roads, while others feel the addition of new mines could offer an economic boost for the region.
The draft ordinance to regulate new mines would prohibit mining activities in residential, commercial and recreational districts, but would allow mines on land zoned for industrial or agricultural use. "Transloading" facilities, used to transfer sand from truck to rail, would only be allowed in industrial areas.
All sand mines, processing facilities and transloading operations must obtain a conditional use permit, and the draft ordinance outlines the process by which the county will evaluate such facilities. The draft reads, " nonmetallic mining proposals shall be analyzed specifically to ensure the wise use of the natural resources of the county, to protect surrounding properties and the physical environment, to promote public health, safety, and general welfare, and to evaluate aesthetic implications of the siting of such a mine at a given location."
A person proposing a new mine or related facility must provide specific information to the county when applying for a conditional use permit, including operation plans, details about the amount of water that might be needed, and maps that show the location of the proposed operation, as well as all surface water and wetlands on the mine site and those within 2,640 feet of the mine boundary. The draft ordinance also states, "A certification that the operator will provide, as a condition of the reclamation permit, financial assurance before the mining begins."
Land alterations meant to divert and control runoff must be in place before mining activities begin, according to the draft. Mines must be "operated in a manner that does not cause a permanent lowering of the water table resulting in adverse effects on surface waters or significant reduction in the quantity of groundwater reasonably available for future users of groundwater."
The draft ordinance requires mining operations to operate using standards for the control of fugitive dust, as defined in Wisconsin administrative code, and that the plan be on file at the county offices. The operator will also be expected to keep records that show the dust control plan is being followed.
Unannounced inspections may be conducted at the mine sites to ensure that regulations are being followed. Mine permits can be revoked if operators do not comply with regulations, according to the draft, and an operator found to have violated the ordinance or permit conditions may face fines of between $100 and $1,000. Each day a regulation is violated will be considered a separate violation, and if fines are not paid, an operator could be jailed for between one day and six months.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jinx!
Facts about Jinx
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Jinx
- Hair: Short
Jinx's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Jinx is a very nice and friendly young boy who was rescued from a rural shelter along with his siblings. He was born approximately Jan 2012 and is just so wonderful and playful. Jinx loves people and is fine with other cats. He would probably do best with another young playful kitty companion. Jinx's brother Jazzie is also available for adoption and they would be great together.
Jinx is neutered, tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and is current on all of his vaccinations.
Other Pets at 4Paws Rescue Team, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jinx, a Merrifield Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Merrifield, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Merrifield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Merrifield already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Merrifield breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Merrifield paves the way for another one to be saved.

In times of political and military unrest, letters were especially vulnerable to interception despite the lengths to which their bearers would go to hide them. Given the often delicate nature of the correspondence, some letters were written in cipher.
This letter, lacking both an address and a seal, was written during the Civil War on behalf of king Charles I, then trapped at Oxford. The writer, George Digby, earl of Bristol, writes to an unidentified party, either Prince Rupert or Prince Maurice, advising that as a result of Oliver Cromwell's recent incursions, Rupert needs to march on Oxford in order to prevent the city being besieged. Owing to its acute political sensitivity, the letter has been written partially in cipher—or rather a combination of ciphers. Several major players are denoted by numbers: King Charles is 241, Prince Rupert 354, the Marquis of Hertford 223, and so on.

Imam Masmari Mesmerizes with Description of the Last Few Days of the Life of the Holy Prophet (s)
February 6, 2014 by TMO
By Adil James, TMO
Audience members listen as Imam Masmari describes the last days of the life of the Holy Prophet (s). |
Bloomfield–January 31–Seldom do ulama describe the life of Prophet Muhammad (s) in detail. Mostly as Muslims we hear very brief snapshots of his life encapsulated as ahadith, and we know very little usually of the context of each of his holy words or actions.
However Friday at Bloomfield's Muslim Unity Center Imam Masmari described in detail the last few days of the Prophet's (s) life, in the context of Qur`an revealed at that time and ahadith as well. He also emphasized some of the many lessons of excellent character that Prophet (s) displayed at this time.
He said that on the way back from hajj Sayyidina Jibril (as) came to Prophet (s) and offered him two options–to have a kingdom of this earth or to come to jannah. He chose jannah and immediately became sick.
The Companions carried him. This was 9 days before he departed this dunya.
He would visit the shuhada of Uhud from Medina. The imam said that this showed his loyalty–that he never forgot the sahaba who did their best for him.
The seventh and fifth days before he left dunya he visited the shuhada. Imam Masmari pointed out that it is a long distance to Uhud from Medina, and that now visitors take a bus to make the same journey.
As he was walking back from one visit he began to weep, and the Companions asked him why–he said "I miss my brothers and my sisters." "Aren't we your brothers and sisters," the Companions asked.
"No, you are my Companions. My brothers are they who will believe in me without having seen me."
Imam Masmari emphasized that this meant Prophet (s) was crying, wishing to meet us. Because we are the people who believe in him without seeing him.
Five days before his departure, he was on the minbar–he was very sick. He prayed with Sahaba–whenever he had energy he would come to the masjid and pray in jama'at. He emphasized several important lessons, including that the Ansar are necessary to people like salt in food, it is impossible to succeed without them.
He gave opportunities at this time for anyone he had wronged or to whom he owed money to make a claim against him and one each of these people did–however the one "harmed" used this opportunity for "revenge" to kiss Prophet (s) and the one who said Prophet (s) owed him money just took three dirhams to obtain some of Prophet's (s) immense baraka.
He would give small lectures to people after praying with them or visiting with them–at one he said "if you fight for this dunya, then this dunya will destroy you."
He said one astonishing thing at this time, saying that all of the Sahaba who had benefitted him–he had recompensed them except for Sayyidina Abu Bakr (ra)–and Allah (swt) would recompense him.
The last words he spoke aloud were "Give my salaams to my ummah."
The Companions afterwards heard him whispering while they walked with him–leaning close, they heard him saying "ummaty, ummaty."
Imam Masmari explained that even at this time, when Prophet (s) was 63 years old, he had very few white hairs in his beard or his hair.
When he passed away from this dunya, Sayyidina Abu Bakr (ra) went to see him, and said "you are so beautiful in your life, and in your death you are so beautiful. In your life you are so clean, and in your death you are so clean."
Imam Masmari emphasized that Prophet (s), the light and mercy of creation, was touched by death–so who are we to think we are exempt.

Five most Cusackian John Cusack movies -- celebrate the actor tonight
Join These Things Matter hosts Kevin O'Brien and Taylor Gonda tonight at the Lost Lake Lounge for These Things Matter Night, a live podcast recording dedicated to the films of John Cusack, whose Rob Gordon character in High Fidelity inspired both the title of the podcast and the obsession with pop-cultural minutiae that keeps it going. "Cusack was one of the first things Taylor and I bonded over," says O'Brien. "I've discovered there is a whole legion of man-boys and lady-dudes who, like myself, spent [their] teen years trying to replicate Cusack's angst." To celebrate the career of the actor who continues to inspire them, Gonda and O'Brien have programmed a full evening of Cusack-related entertainment, with screenings and musical performances from SPELLS and Lisa Prank. They'll also be conducting brief interviews with any guest who wants to lionize Cusack for the podcast. Explains O'Brien: "We figured, why not hear from all the other Cusack-philes out there?" Say Anything, Gracie Films
In honor of tonight's event, Westword revisited the filmography of John Cusack and hand-picked his most definitively Cusackian roles. These movies are each thoroughly entertaining on their own merits, but together they illuminate the precise nature of Cusack's appeal. Old-school Cusack fans may notice the conspicuous absence of his broader '80s comedies. Unlike the man himself, Cusack movies like Better Off Dead have aged very poorly. 1985's The Sure Thing is a film that, like promise rings and the music of Rush, is strictly intended to entertain virgins. True fans can hardly begrudge this list, however, as it covers every shade of Cusack, and includes a legitimate masterpiece, two beloved cult classics, a half-forgotten potboiler that deserves a critical reappraisal, and a movie that features what is arguably the best boyfriend of cinema history in its ranks.

5) Craig Schwartz, Being John Malkovich
While Craig Schwartz, a milquetoast puppeteer who discovers a portal into the mind of John Malkovich, stands out as one of Cusack's least likable characters, he embodies the dark side of the actor's sweetly melancholic persona. With his movie-star good looks buried under a scrubby beard and unkempt locks of greasy hair, Schwartz is a chasm of insecurity, a cautionary tale of when yearning curdles into venality. One of the crowning achievements of the metaphysical motherfuckery sub-genre, Being John Malkovich heralded the arrival of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and filmmaker Spike Jonze, but its conceits are grounded in Cusack's performance. He's the broken, but still-pulsating heart at the center of the story.
4) Rob Gordon, High Fidelity
For many fans, Rob Gordon is the quintessential John Cusack character. Whether its his excellent taste in indie music, romantic escapades with impossibly beautiful women, or his fourth wall-breaking monologues, Gordon connects with proto-hipsters in a way that few other cinematic characters ever have. As the number one, all-time purveyor of top-five lists, we'd like to think that Gordon would personally approve of this inventory.
3) Charlie Arglist, The Ice Harvest
The Ice Harvest is an overlooked gem of a movie. A noir-tinged dark comedy, The Ice Harvest tells the story of Charlie Arglist, a mob lawyer who steals $2 million from his boss. As cinematic heists tend to do, it quickly goes terribly awry, getting bleaker and more hilarious as the film unreels. Cusack deepens a character that could have come across as a stock noir protagonist in the hands of a lesser actor. The film, which is set during the Christmas season, is also perfect holiday movie counter-programming.

Lexi Thyme
Finally a shoe I can wear.
This shoe fit exactly as i hoped. I bought Lexi
Redwood in 2013 which I enjoy wearing and expected sizing to be similar. I was correct. My foot is narrow and despite being an 8 1/2 medium along with using an insert the shoe fits great. Please keep making a great product! Thanks.
December 4, 2014
Comfy from the first moment
Typical Clarks...put them on and wore them all day, for several days in a row. Very comfortable.
December 26, 2014
Love mules
Love these mules. Ordered my regular size 10wide. Very comfortable.
December 26, 2014
Great clogs
As my previous clogs from Clarks, these are extremely comfortable a of excellent quality.
November 1, 2014
these shoes are very comfortable.
These shoes are very comfort. I have very sore feet and these are one of a few pair of shoes that do not hurt my feet. I like that the shoes have a lip at the heel so I do not have to try to hold them on with my toes.
December 4, 2014
Great shoe
I love my new Clarks Lexi Thyme shoes. They were so comfortable right out of the box. I wear a size 5 which are hard to find and these fit perfectly.
November 25, 2014
Look great and are comfortable
Every few years I need to replace my black clogs and Clarks are generally they way I go. These shoes look great and go with a wide range of clothing. This particular clog feels a little narrow, but is comfortable and will likely stretch out as I just recently purchased them.
November 24, 2014
Super comfy, light weight & cute!
If you are looking for a pair of cute, comfy & reasonable priced clogs, look no where else! Fit true to size.
August 5, 2014
My Lexi clog is very comftable and easy on the feet. I stand for work and have bad knees, so the heel height and ease of walking long distances makes this clog my top pick. I wish Clarks would make this style in grey.
August 30, 2014
Love love love this shoe
Love love love my clarks shoes & sandals.Thats all I mostly ever wear. I wear mostly very nice casual clothing to church and out to dinner with my husband & friends and I wear all the colors I have and everyone always remarks about my shoes & sandals. In fact I have let my 2 best friends borrow my sandals & shoes because we all have the same size and Im ordering my one friend shoes for helping take care of me after my eye surgery. Great gift ideas for friends. thanks for taking such good care of me. I just wish I could choose a special sandal for one of my replacement shoes. But you have replaced all 3 of my 4 defective shoes minus the one pair that i didn't have much hope for until another friend of mine suggested i call Clark Shoes & I did and was so pleasantly surprised.Thanks for being a company that really stands behind its product. Thanks Jane Charlton.
August 29, 2014
These are great clogs for work and casual
I have bought this same clog in the past and I like it so I bought another. I will also be purchasing in brown soon.
July 15, 2014
Nice shoe
I have bought Clarks for years, but it seems they aren't made as well now. The leather was softer and more durable. These are stiff and not as giving as before. Fits nice and pretty comfortable.
July 10, 2014
Good fit and lightweight.
I had the exact same shoe in black and bought the brown due to its comfort and good fit. The inside of the shoe is smooth without seams to rub bare feet. Since they are mules I often don't wear socks so a plus.
May 20, 2014
Excellent product
I would order again from Clarks.
Easy to order, no problem with shipping.
Just what I was looking for !
April 24, 2014
Clarks are comfortable
Clarks are very reliable for quality and comfort. I have several pair and have been happy with each one.

Since Week 3 of owning our Wolf DF304 stove, we have had occasional issues with clicking burners. We have had at least 3-4 visits by the Wolf service tech and we just stopped calling them..
It's gotten to the point now that it's driving me insane. It will go *clicking* forever and I will leave it alone, and come back to use the burner 20 minutes later after spending 20+ minutes getting the burner to operate click free and when I use it....it's not clicking. Any idea or advice you can point me to on how to make these damm burners stop clicking.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are the metal circle discs in the center of the burners (burner covers) seated correctly? I'm stumped. Never had that problem with mine. The grill unit will click-tick for the first few minutes, then it stops by itself. Friend of mine has a Miele gas range. Her burners click 100% of the time- and she says the salesperson told her that was the way it was supposed to be!!!!!!! |
Yes, they are seated right. The initial things the Wolf tech would do would be to remove the discs and actually slightly loosen or tighten the brass nut under the cover. It's been at least a year since he has been here. Tonight I couldn't take it. I had 2 burners that was doing this.....and fidgeting with it while other burners were cooking away was not fun. Lo and behold, I decide to use it again and it's click free... I wish there was a definitive answer/resolution to this... |
Any chance the burners or ignitors are wet - my DCS burners will click for a while when wet but then stop. Could also be a faulty ignition module. |
Check the polarity of your electrical outlet. You can buy a little three prong tester at the hardware store - the most difficult step will be pulling out the range to get to the plug/cord. We just purchased a 30" RNB BlueStar range and had a similar problem -- clicking drives me nuts. When we checked and fixed the polarity - the problem was 100% resolved. |
Here is a link that might be useful: polarity tester
Polarity, spills or air shutters. |
Air Shutters. Can you explain or clarify on this. I don't expect it to be a polarity issue as when the kitchen was gutted and redone, all receptables were done as well. Let me double check...I have to undo it from the box, a simple tester won't work as it has got a beefy receptacle on it. |
chef - if a plug fits in the recpt. , then the tester will too. No need to undo the plate and recpt. |
The plug is a 220 30 AMP. Not your normal sized receptacle -- where a standard tester works. Something like this http://secure2.data-comm.com/stores/r/RBIS/catalog/1PKB1.JPG Anyhow, I just confirmed the wiring. Looks correct to me. Any other suggestions.... |
Don't assume because your kitchen was gutted and all the electrical work redone that the polarity is correct. Our kitchen was gutted and rewired, when we experienced the polarity problem -- I asked our electrician to check the polarity, and he admitted that the helper (since fired)who wired the outlet could very well have wired it incorrectly... he did and it's now fixed. |
I hear ya.....hots are on brass, neutral is correct. I'm starting to notice a trend or not. Seems like when one is acting up, whether it be the front or back, the corresponding alternate - front clicking, the back will click too. or vice versa... Maybe it's coincidental ? |
on ranges these days, when one burner clicks, they all click - that's how it works - only the one with the gas turned on will ignite |
If it is moisture from wiping down the top before cooking, that seems to stop in just a minute or so. I once had to get a small cleaning brush and brush off the area -- apparently some small amount of cleaner or debris got stuck and it might have clicked forever. |
>>on ranges these days, when one burner clicks, they all click On my Wolf dual fuel only the burner for use clicks. |
sorry chef- I thought we were talking a rangetop here, not the range, my mistake. |
We have this problem with the DCS that we installed. We never have gotten solved completely. Sometimes the burner (any of them, just using singular for the example) will click and click but not light, sometimes it will light but keep clicking. According to the DCS brochure, this means the ignitors need cleaning. However, sometimes I could clean them daily with a toothbrush and mineral spirits, and still have the problem. I've also taken apart the burners and cleaned the simmer plates. I did also have the spark module replaced, since the DCS tech thought that might be a problem. The only clue I have is that it really makes a difference what's used to clean the stove. Our old cleaning lady used to use Easy Off, despite my telling her repeatedly not to, and it would gum up the ignitors. We've had much better luck with Windex-type cleaners. |
I couldn't take it any more...it's been at least 1 year + since I had the Wolf service rep over but I have them scheduled for next week. How common is clicking burners on $$$$ stoves or is it just the nature of the beast - due to design - electrical ignitors. Our previous vintage stove.....while always had a gas pilot on....was never as troublesome in this dept. There are times where I will use the stove in the evening click free. Come early morning, it's clicking again. |
a bad connection. one of my burners started clicking.. It worked fine for 10 years but just started clicking (continuing to spark) after the burner was lit. the flame was fine so it was definitely in the ignition circuit somewhere. I pulled the burner off (disconnect the gas line to the burner first) and the wire that goes to the ceramic spark post fell out -- it was corroded. I soldered an extension piece into the wire so that I'd have some slack to work with, cleaned up the end (cut, stripped about a half inch) put some solder on it to stiffen it up, reinserted it into the ceramic post, hooked up the gas and it works again. so, a loose or corroded connection up inside the ceramic starter post is the likely culprit for others with similar problems. It seems to me that if you have the range top apart for cleaning, then the wires to the ignition posts could easily get bumped which pull them out enough to cause this problem. |

chefwong, if you're still around I'd love to hear if you got the problem fixed. I just bought a Wolf, so would like to hear if any of the suggestions worked or Wolf finally figured it out. Thank you for letting us know if it got resolved. I hope it did. |

Smart Product: Retractable Whisk from Quirky
Whether you store your kitchen utensils in a drawer or in a crock on your counter, the whisk always seems to be the tool that refuses to play nice with the others.

Looks like a normal whisk, right? That is until the majority of the whisk portion retracts into the handle:
Now there's less of a chance it will get tangled in with everything else in your drawer.

Japanese Graded Readers Level 1 - Vol. 1 (includes CD)
Suitable for beginner level students, Volume 1 level of the Japanese Graded Readers series is one of our most popular titles. Published in late 2006, this product is actullay a boxed-set of 5 booklets which comprise 5 stories with about 500-1,500 words each. The included CD audio companion includes the full-text read by Japanese native speakers.
Japanese Graded Readers Level 1 - Volume 1 is designed for a proficiency level equivalent to Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level N4~N5. The set of stories utilizes a vocabulary of about 350 words. The grammar points include: ~desu, ~masu, present tense, past tense, question form, ~tai, etc.
The stories are beautifully illustrated, and furigana (small kana written beside kanji to show the pronunciation) are included on all the kanji.
(Volume 2 is also available.)
Sample Audio
Click here for Level 1 sample page
Japanese Graded Readers (JGR's) are written in easy and controlled language for foreign or second language learners of Japanese. They are graded according to the size of vocabulary, complexity of grammar structures and the total number of words used in each book. They are designed to cater to all levels from beginners to advanced students.
For most language learners, reading Japanese books has been a daunting task. There are many unknown words, kanji and expressions beyond their level or understanding. JGR's have changed all that so now students can enjoy reading without having to constantly stop and look up unknown kanji, words or phrases in the dictionary. Research has also shown that students who read in Japanese improve their Japanese in other area of the language at a faster rate than students who don't read.
We encourage you not to reach for a dictionary while reading Japanese Graded Readers. Try to skip words and phrases that you don't understand and simply keep on reading. Their meanings will become apparent eventually from the context and illustrations. Finally, if the going gets tough, simply stop reading and try a different one. Don't try too hard to finish! If you do, you might begin to hate reading in Japanese.

I have a salvia darcyi seedling that I started this spring that looks very much like my salvia guaranitica - at least the leaves do. It hasn't flowered yet.
I'm wondering if crosses tend to get more traits from one parent than the other or is it just random. Are the flowers more likely to be blue like guaranitica or red like darcyi or somewhere in between? Also wondering if crosses tend to have less nectar than their parents or the same. I'm hoping it will be a good hummingbird plant. |

If you have an artistic eye, you can often see the characteristics of both parents. These do not manifest equally. Hybrids often start out more like the female and go to bloom more like the male. Also, there are differences between spring and summer, rapid growth and semi-dormancy, and sun versus shade. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 28, 07 at 8:42
Thanks Rich! I'm anxious for them to bloom. A couple of the seedlings look just like the parent so I assumed the flowers would too but maybe not. One seedling has leaves just like darcyi but not as gray so I think it must be a cross too. Wish I'd been able to collect more seeds. Darcyi has somewhat large flowers and gets a hole near the base of the bloom that I think someone said is caused by bees. After the bees found them last year, I didn't get anymore seeds. |

High-Crash Corridors / High-Crash Locations
Various locations on Montana's roadways experience higher than typical crash and/or crash severity rates. In developing the Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan (CHSP), the Traffic and Safety Bureau (TSB) identified rural high crash severity corridors on the national and state road system in Montana. The purpose of this effort was to identify the State's most significant high-crash corridors and to then conduct an analysis of crash data to identify the predominant factors contributing to crashes in these locations. This information was then used to support the identification of specific countermeasures that could be applied to these corridors.
- Identify sufficient improvements to encumber 100% of the annual HSIP funds.

DM-1on1-Reverse, DM-Parish Released
A couple of new notable map releases: DM-Parish from Steve 'Luv_Studd' Keene and Vern 'cUnNiNg StUnTs' Anderson (tex from Rog and Hourences) is a new release with lots of trick jumps and plenty of clean lines. DM-1on1-Reverse from Philipp 'Soma' Urlich has been in beta testing for some time and emerges with a couple of important item placement tweaks.
28th Apr 2006, 01:44 PM | #2 |
>I played Reversed and i really liked it, it's really good for dodging around off the walls. The only thing i may have liked a little better was if the 100a area couldn't be dodged out of, as in the curved walls but that could come to pass as i play it more. All you people with the 1v1 servers should get this map on them.

Reverse is pretty good and so is Parish. Both are the type of map I like - minimal amount of meshes with a good, smaller scale. Parish's scale is perfect, IMO. I didn't like two things about it, though. One, all the powerups are on the upper level rather than more risky points of contention. For example, I'd rather see the keg on the lower level in the same corner. Second, the fact that you can get up on the roof part isn't good since it promotes camping severely. That said, I was pleasantly surprised with the size of this map after his last one, DM-TheOnion. The scale on that map is pretty horrible, and to see something completely different in his next map is awesome.

Actually, I think his last map was UCMP2-Churn. A nice flakky little map with stunning good looks.

I am in the beta tester list for DM-Parish. Actualy, i never played the map, i just posted "This map looks really nice"- like. But thanks. okays!

I can agree with Onion, that was big. I have no problem with smaller Churn - in fact I love that map with its curvaceous slopes and the layout going from 1 to 4 floors. ;-) Churn has not traditional layout thou, because it relies on liftjumps for some places, etc.
OK, Parish. Textures applied in really nice manner, size is really right for various jumps. I don't exactly like the top floor (only lift-jumps and too large). (OK, now I said contradiction with liftjumps, but somewhere I like it, somewhere I want also another way. Parish is more traditional when it comes to connectivity then Churn, which was acrobatic map for me, that's why.) |

There both good maps in my opinion. Parish has some great z-axis. Well done.

100 Colorado Creatives: Dr. David Grinspoon, Denver Museum of Nature and Science
He was hooked, then, by a heady brew of advancing into the unknown and long-term camaraderies with his colleagues: "There's something cool about being involved in new missions to other planets. They are frustrating, nerve-wracking things because they take so many years to plan, and they don't always work. It's a a risky business. You could almost compare it to a seagoing, sailing ship exploration on earth, except that it can take a decade to plan and launch a mission and years before you'll get any information back. Because of that, there's a sense of community among all the people involved: You watch people grow older, life changes, you lose some people who were there when the mission started and gain others along the way. You have a sense of embarking on a journey with these other people."
And there are, after all, few truly pioneering professions left where a participant is bound to see something no human has ever seen before. "It's like experiencing the feeling you might get when the spacecraft is approaching a planet, and you're seeing all the latest images come down on the screen," he concludes. "And the images are getting larger and more clear, and it's almost like you're there, looking out of the little porthole, seeing it unfold." That's nirvana, the Grinspoon way.
Following is our 100 Colorado Creatives Q&A with Dr. Grinspoon.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Other Pets at Animal Advocates of the US - Irvine Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
NALA, tiny little deer!, a Irvine Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Irvine, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Irvine.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Irvine already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Irvine breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Irvine paves the way for another one to be saved.

So I've been trying to decide on a Miele dishwasher. The Classic with visible controls is $300 off right now, bringing it to $1299. The dimension is $2199. Is the flexiblity of the racks really worth it? I've been to a showroom to see them, I like how much you can do with the dimension, but not having had a dishwasher with this kind of flexiblility I'm unsure how much use it would get.
I'm really focused on quiet, rather than the roar we have now with the cheap GE that came with the house. Will I notice a huge difference between the Classic and Dimension? We do run the dishwasher at night because I can't bear to listen to it during the day, but I can still hear it. Will a Classic be good enough? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have hard water or soft water? Hard water is 4+ grains per gallon. If you are one of 15% of people that have soft water in the US or have a whole house water softer I would strongly consider the Classic. If you have hard water I would eliminate the Classic and look at the Crystal and Dimension Plus with onboard water softner. I have the La Perla II which is Q5 and I can barely hear it with my head next to the dishwasher. First thing first though,do you have hard or soft water? |
- Posted by sarahendipity (My Page) on Tue, Sep 4, 12 at 20:59
I'm honestly not sure how hard/soft our water is, I've never had any problems with build-up, or even considered that I needed a softener. I live in a mountain town, our water is from snowmelt and glacier run-off so I would consider it minerally but not hard. Shampoo foams freely. I've tried to find the info on our town's website, but it doesn't seem to be there, and it's too late to call. |
I have the dimension plus and we love it. It's super quiet. We tested our water and discovered it was moderately hard so we are using the salt dispenser. Even my teenage son noticed how clean it gets everything. One of the features that was important to us was the adjustable cutlery tray as it's great to have a place to put larger items such as serving spoons, spatulas, etc. We originally weren't sure we'd need all the other adjustable features but find we use them nearly every load as it makes it so much easier to make things fit. Also, the dimension plus is much quieter than the classic. Are you sure about your prices? We paid $1779 for the dimension plus. |
- Posted by sarahendipity (My Page) on Tue, Sep 4, 12 at 21:35
Yes, I'm sure about the price, I'm in Canada and that's right from the Miele website. We don't seem to get the dimension plus here, the next model up is the Topaz, and it's quite a bit more. Good to know that the adjust table racks do get used, I've always had crappy dishwashers that I had to adjust to so I'm having a hard time visualizing how adjustable racks would work for me. I don't wash (or even have) crystal/china so that doesn't matter, and one of my neighbors does appliance service so that is not a concern. |
I've tried to find the info on our town's website, but it doesn't seem to be there, and it's too late to call. Do you have to decide by tonight? |
sarahendipity, sorry, I didn't realize your location or know that Canada has different models than U.S. I'm sure whichever you decide will be a huge improvement over your current dw. As far as visualizing adjustable racks, think of anything you had difficulty placing in your old non-adjustable racks and in-vision being able to fold tines out of the way to make it easier. Hope that helps. |

very tight and stiff
I was looking for some new slip on sandals...I am going into the hospital for open heart surgery, and I won't be able to deal with anything complicated for a while. All of my friends said get Crocs! They are well worth the money and they are so comfortable...so I got this pair, and the Crocskin Classic. I have to say, I am very disappointed. not only did I pay a higher price for them, but now I am struggling to get a pair of shoes that I will be able to wear...I don't have the time to take these back to any stores, and hope that I will be able to find someone to mail the returns in for me, as I go in for the surgery tomorrow and will be laid up for a while.
These shoes, why way adorable are very tight in the bands, which also force my toes to sit several inches below where they are supposed to sit. I also wear a size that is difficult to find any shoes, let alone cute shoes with...size 11 women's. The bands are also very stiff. Between the stiffness of the bands, and the size running small, these shoes are not possible for me to wear at all.
I really wish they would have worked!

In a report that should come as no surprise to anyone who's followed this team in recent years, ESPN's Marc Stein tweeted the following on Saturday morning…
First order of biz for new Raps GM Masai Ujiri: Word is he'll shop Andrea Bargnani everywhere he can in hopes of moving him before July 1
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 1, 2013
Bargnani has two years and $22,250,000 remaining on the contract that Bryan Colangelo prematurely signed him to in 2009, though he does have an Early Termination Option ahead of the 2014-15 season. With Colangelo now out of the picture (sort of), you'd have to assume that the amnesty provision is at least worth considering for Ujiri, but it's also wise to explore the trade market in hopes of finding some semblance of value for the enigmatic big man.
If Ujiri decides there's nothing worth acquiring after those trade talks but is hell bent on cutting ties with Bargnani, teams can amnesty players during a one-week window in July (Remember that Linas Kleiza picked up his $4.6 million player option for next season, which is also amnesty eligible).
Either way, whether it's by trade or amnesty, ridding himself of Andrea Bargnani will garner Ujiri immediate praise in Toronto from fans who see it as Masai doing in a couple of months what Bryan should have done a long time ago.
