The team of experts at Monarch Snowmobile Tours and Rentals leads riders through a snow-dusted wilderness surrounded by mountain peaks and valleys. Snowmobile tours wind in and around the historic and scenic areas of Garfield and Monarch, passing along packed trails into patches of fresh powder. During each tour, guests receive riding instructions and any needed assistance from a knowledgeable guide.
Rocky Top Glide leverages the energy-conserving powers of the Segway Human Transporter, allowing tour-takers to effortlessly travel city blocks to explore landmarks such as Confluence Park, the Denver Art Museum, and the State Capitol in one fell swoop. Riders follow their guides on a path that snakes toward Coors Field in lower downtown, alongside the streams of the Cherry Creek Trail, and through the central business district's money fields before landing back at the starting point. Meanwhile, the knowledgable guides provide backstories and anecdotes for the sights and sounds that their followers experience.
Denver Bike Bar takes going out to bars to a whole new level. The 16-person bike zooms from bar to bar at the direction of a designated driver, freeing passengers from the responsibilities of driving and accidentally becoming a taxi. Though guests cannot drink alcohol aboard the bike, they can imbibe during frequent stops at local microbreweries in LoDo.
Today, Challenge Unlimited captains biking and hiking tours all over the globe, from the vineyards of Tuscany to the Incan towns of Peru. More than two decades ago, however, the business was simply known in Colorado for its signature Pikes Peak by Bike tour. During this 20-mile excursion, guides and up to 35 followers descend 20 miles from a summit of 14,110 feet, infiltrating five zones with distinct climates, plant life, animals, and altitude-based baking methods. Riders often encounter eagles, deer, elk, and even the occasional mountain lion or black bear along the way. Guides can also escort Colorado's athletes across the Gold Camp Road—a 17-mile railroad bed once rattling with railcars filled with gold—and through breathtaking Aspen groves. Pit stops are made over the course of three nights and four days at the Victorian Hotel and a nearby dude ranch. Beyond domestic borders, international trips explore Nepal's Annapurna Foothill on foot and the bustling pubs and haunts of Ireland by bike or skateboards strapped to sprinting leprechauns.
At 6,531 feet above sea level, Security Service Field is the highest professional ballpark in the United States. It was built in 1988 on the edge of Colorado Springs, and, in August 2012, it welcomed its six millionth fan through the turnstiles. This feat of fandom was but a dream in 1903, though, when the Sky Sox—then the Sacramento Solons—became a charter member of the Pacific Coast League. In 1961, the Solons became the Islanders and relocated to Honolulu, where the franchise remained until 1988, the year it finally moved to Colorado, and the year Pikes Peak began mysteriously sprouting foul poles. Upon arriving in its new city, the franchise adopted the Sky Sox moniker—a tip of the cap to the Sky Sox of the 1950s, who played in the Western League as an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The modern-day Sky Sox have been the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies since 1993, and in 2011, the team earned the nod as Triple-A Organization of the Year courtesy of Baseball America.

Recently I read a story in the newspaper "The Hindu", in which a Pakistani Muslim woman given an application to meet her 80 year old Sikh mother living in India. The story goes back to the time of partition when many Indian women remained in Pakistani side and many Pakistani women in Indian side. However many of them were sent back to there respective countries, but all were not fortunate enough. Some got married to the people of other caste and remained in that country. In the above story her mother got married to a Muslim man and gave birth to her. After few years her mother returned to India but she remained on the other side. Nearly after 60 years of partition she has hope to see her mother, thanks to the initiatives of government of Kashmir, India and Pakistan. The newspaper has also given lot of other examples. This is the story of Kashmir where few women are involved, now what about Iraq, Sudan, Syria, Philistine or Afghanistan. There will be enormous number of women who are suffering. Even situations in developing and developed nations are not fine. Every day many women are raped or killed in United States of America, anyway a most secure nation in world. In India, everyday lots of woman are burned alive or raped. Women have become a thing of common use and exploitation. In many parts of the world and even in some religions, women are treated like the objects of usage. Even very few males are ready to give equal right to women in choosing there paths. Women are not safe in even there homes, many small girls goes through sexual misbehavior from their relatives or from any male. All this make the real condition of woman in world really of concern and requires a lot of improvement.

Original post at http://www.liturgynerd.com/2012/12/god-weeps.html
In the wake of the tragedy in Connecticut, this hymn has been speaking to me.
How does God feel in the aftermath of such tragedies? If we look at the Gospel, at Christ's ever-repeated directions towards caring for one another - God Weeps, by Shirly Erena Murray may give us a glimpse. The tune used in The Faith We Sing was composed by Carlton R. Young, HIROSHIMA, was inspired by a visit to the Hiroshima memorial site.
God weeps
at love withheld,
at strength misused,
at children's innocence abused,
and till we change the way we love,
God weeps.
God bleeds
at anger's fist,
at trust betrayed,
at women battered and afraid,
and till we change the way we win,
God bleeds.
God cries
at hungry mouths,
at running sores,
at creatures dying without cause,
and till we change the way we care,
God cries.
God waits
for stones to melt,
for peace to seed,
for hearts to hold each other's need,
and till we understand the Christ,
God waits.

Frequently slaughtered for consumption in Europe, their inhumane treatment as revealed here will surely prompt outrage among animal lovers as well as those concerned with health and environmental issues.
Featuring ardent testimony from numerous concerned figures as well as graphic footage that's often painful to watch, the film takes no prisoners in its damning indictment of the political, corporate and government interests involved in the wholesale slaughter of the creatures. Unlike with cattle and chickens, there are few regulations over the process, with the result that the animals are often severely mistreated. Humans don't fare well either, with the nefarious complications including the contamination of water and land, and horsemeat, not generally intended for consumption, frequently containing harmful chemicals.
Narrating the film herself, director Louise reveals her cinematic inexperience with a sometimes jumbled presentation of information overload including littering the screen with more text content than even cable-television news broadcasts. She also indulges in audience pandering via the inclusion of interviews with numerous celebrities with sometimes tenuous connections to the issue. These include Michael Blake, author of the book and screenplay Dances with Wolves, as well as Willie Nelson, Linda Gray, Tippi Hedren, Ken Wahl and a teary-eyed Paul Sorvino.
Still, there's no denying the film's emotional impact, abetted by the endlessly photogenic quality of its ill-fated equine subjects. Even urban viewers who've never seen a wild horse in their lives will find themselves wondering what will eventually become of the handsome steed leading their carriage through Central Park.

Carne en su jugo starts with the broth.
Traditionally, it's made by slowly boiling a cow's head, though that practice is fading even in Jalisco, the original home of the dish — whose name translates literally as "meat in its juices." Today, cooks in that part of Mexico often use rump or sirloin and even bones to make the broth. But their goal is the same: They're trying to create a base that's simultaneously hearty and delicate, thin but deeply infused with beef, and richly layered with aromatics.
When they've achieved that, after hours of cooking the broth over low heat, they add pinto beans and bits of steak and bacon, each of which imparts its unique characteristics to the soup, lending smokiness, texture and rib-sticking substance. The finished product is served with accoutrements that might include everything from raw onions to radishes, red chiles and avocado, along with tortillas to sop up every drop.
Carne en su jugo is peasant food, and when done right, it's delicious.
It's done right at El Olvido, the five-month-old restaurant on South Broadway that could well be the only place in town serving the dish. El Olvido calls itself a Jaliscan eatery, and while that's a stretch — the menu lacks posole, birria and torta ahogada, the three other famous Jaliscan dishes — its carne en su jugo is the real thing. The rest of the menu is devoted not to the green-chile-smothered burritos so common at this town's Mexican restaurants (and non-existent in Mexico), but the enchiladas suizas popular in Acapulco, seafood dishes imported from the Mexican coast and Mexico City tacos.
Photos: In the kitchen at El Olvido
The recipes come from owner Jorge Pingarron's family members, who lived all over Mexico — though he split his time between Acapulco and Mexico City when he was growing up. Pingarron came to the United States more than three decades ago and worked in a variety of kitchens, including a recent stint in the back of the house at Spill. When he finally decided it was time to open his own place with his son, George, he says he wanted to build a restaurant that was Mexican but "not Mexican" — meaning not Colorado Mexican. Instead, he envisioned a spot that would draw on culinary traditions from his home country that you don't often find in Denver.
He picked up a freestanding building that was most recently the home of the hellish Hades Bar & Grill (it had been the South Broadway Grill, El Ranchito and even a Mr. Steak before that), and gave the place a quick remodel, keeping the black-and-white color scheme, granite and corrugated metal of Hades. A U-shaped bar is front and center, a few tables and booths fill out the dining area, and there's a big deck outside. Sitting in the sun and listening to salsa or classic rock or other Latin American tunes, you feel like you could almost be on a beach in San Diego, or the better part of a not-so-good resort town in Mexico. The servers are friendly, but during off-hours, they can also be slow, sometimes taking several minutes to even notice you're there — which is baffling, since the place is often empty.
In keeping with that mañana feel, Pingarron offers a run of silly beach cocktails — a house margarita that tastes like a hangover, for example, appropriate for the loose translation of El Olvido's name to "tequila-induced oblivion" — and plenty of Mexican beer, including a couple of varieties of Dos Equis on tap that are used to make micheladas.
On my first visit, I grabbed a seat at the bar, asked for a lime-and-beer michelada (El Olvido also makes the tomato-juice version) and started digging into the complimentary basket of hot, just-fried tortilla chips and dips. I wasn't thrilled by the red salsa, a watery, tomato-based sauce with just a hint of heat, but a refreshing green avocado-and-tomatillo mix worked well with the chips, as did the frijoles refritos con elote, a warm, savory-sweet, bacon-grease-infused blend of refried beans and kernels of corn.
At the time, the menu only had ten items, but one dish was enough to catch my eye: carne en su jugo. I ordered it, and a clay cassoulet dish lettered with the words El Olvido arrived soon after the chips were gone. I doctored the dish with onions, cilantro and lime, then lowered my spoon.
Even though they had a family recipe in hand, the Pingarrons went to Guadalajara to learn how to cook carne en su jugo. They don't use cow's head, but rather round steak — milanesa in Spanish — that they cut into strips to create the base of a broth to which they add bacon, a tomatillo-based sauce and a blend of spices that George says his father keeps so secret, even he doesn't know what's in it. The broth that results is silky and textured, tart and peppery, layered with the essence of beef and pork, tinged lightly with garlic and not at all bitter, despite the tomatillo. Filled with more tender beef, bacon and pinto beans cooked in bacon fat, the soup is a very satisfying meal.

Hmm.. Well, I spend half of the year every year in Jalisco so I think I know something about the cooking of the region. Had lunch here last week and was not impressed. Salsas had no spice whatsoever (chips were good though). I had the vaunted Carne en su Jugo and found it bland and the meat tough and dry (how that is possible when served in broth is hard to comprehend). In Mexico it is usually served with savory herbs and chiles on the side to spice it up. She had the enchiladas Suizas which were basically inedible (Laura got that right). Margaritas (Cadillac $8) were a color green not found in nature and tequila was not detectable. Not impressed with this place - not at all.

Best Indoor Shooting Range Phoenix 2010 - Caswells Shooting Range
856 E. Isabella Ave.
Mesa, AZ 85204
Caswells beats any other indoor shooting range in the Valley, for a number of reasons. First, Caswells is a firearm retailer, which means visitors can buy or rent a wide variety of guns and ammo. The indoor range at Caswells has awesome air conditioning, so patrons don't have to sweat it out while shooting, and the targets are movable (they operate on an electronic system, so shooters can adjust their distances more precisely). The indoor shooting booths are side-by-side, but each is relatively private — at least, private enough that shooters don't get dinged with brass casings from their neighbors' stall. There are 11 stalls, and the adjustable targets for each reach a maximum of 75 feet. Prices are reasonable, too — $15 per person per lane rental and $7 gun rentals. Add the fact that ladies get free lanes and gun rentals on Tuesdays and Fridays, and there's little doubt that Caswells is the best shot for Valley gun enthusiasts.

"Oh, Hank is one of the giants--believe me," McGriff says in a warm, raspy voice. "I've been knowing him for a long time, and he's one that lots of younger guys are influenced by. I love playing with him because we think alike musically. That's got a lot to do with playing. If you can enjoy who you're playing with and understand what they're doing, that's 75 percent of it."
Speaking in a smooth, deep tone that exudes nonchalance and confidence, Crawford echoes this point. "McGriff and I have the same feeling about the music. We're from the same era, same school of music--and it basically comes down to a feeling. There's nothing technical about it. It's an easy thing for us to play together, because we don't have to teach each other about how to play what you would call soul jazz. We have no problems. But it's got to be up to each person. With me, I know what I play best and what I do--and that's the way it is with McGriff or any of the other artists who refused to change styles. We don't even try to go with the new trends. What you hear of me is me. I don't try to change. I mean, you lose your identity when you try to change with every new thing that comes along. If you hear Count Basie, you don't want to hear Count Basie sounding like Chick Corea--you know what I'm saying? You do what you do, and you don't change it. People know my sound. They know immediately when I start playing. They don't have to wonder who this guy is.
"If you have been able to establish yourself, people are going to accept you for what you are and what you play," he continues. "You don't have to change. Duke Ellington, Dizzy--they didn't change. Look, there were millions of trumpet players coming up behind Dizzy. But Dizzy stayed Dizzy. Miles stayed Miles. Bird stayed Bird. You don't go out and change your thing once you are identified with it."
Crawford earned his musical stripes in the late Fifties and early Sixties, and since then, numerous instrumentalists, including David Sanborn, have developed styles close to his. As for McGriff, he took up the B-3 after Jimmy Smith popularized it. He was not alone: Groove Holmes, Charles Earland and Shirley Scott also became known as premier B-3 practitioners. But McGriff is considered the finest blues soloist of the lot, as well as an innovator in the soul-jazz genre.
Born in Philadelphia sixty years ago, McGriff started his musical journey on bass and saxophone. By the time he was in high school, he'd also added the vibes to his repertoire. "I started to play drums, too," he notes. "But I gave it up. Groove Holmes talked me into playing the organ, and I'm glad that I listened to him. I used to know Count Basie very well, and he would listen to some of the things I did and say, 'Man, you stay on that keyboard.' So I did. But I like the alto sax, too. I played sax on a few shows with Sonny Stitt, because he knew I could do it and he already had his organ player there."
Although McGriff later took classes at both Juilliard and Philadelphia's Combe College of Music, he didn't become a full-time musician for many years. He served as a military policeman during the Korean conflict--"and when I came out of the service, I had a good rating," he recalls. "So I went to see what I could do about getting a job. Well, I checked out the regular police force, but it wasn't for me; I thought I really needed to find something better. So in the days I went to the Penn Institute of Criminology and studied there. And at night I played bass in Big Maybelle's band."
McGriff subsequently passed an examination that qualified him to become a member of the state police force. But just as he was about to commit himself to a life in law enforcement, his jazz career took off. His 1962 debut for Sue Records, I Got a Woman, became a Top 20 hit, opening up other musical opportunities. He was especially thrilled to work alongside Frank Foster in Buddy Rich's band. "I learned a lot about doing a big band," he remarks. "Thanks to Buddy and Frank, I came a long way."
Two year older than McGriff, Crawford hails from Memphis, Tennessee. He began piano lessons at age nine and says he enjoyed it so much that his first saxophone initially made little impression on him. "The sax was a gift to me from my father, a frustrated saxophone player himself," he relates. "He was in the service, stationed in India, and when he came home, he brought an old Army saxophone that they were going to get rid of. I was still in elementary school, and I was really into the piano. So the saxophone just stayed in my closet until I reached ninth grade. They had a marching band then, and if I wanted to be in the band, I had to play something other than piano. So I pulled that saxophone out of the closet and joined the marching band. That's how I got started."

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / 2005 / City Will Administer New Firefighter Recruit Test |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 8, 2005 CITY WILL ADMINISTER NEW FIREFIGHTER RECRUIT TEST City Department of Human Resources Director Ken Nakamatsu announced today that the City will administer a new firefighter recruit written test in February and rescind scores from the September 10, 2005, written test. "The decision to administer a new test was made after it recently came to the attention of the Department of Human Resources that the vendor, I/O Solutions, which provided the written test to the City, had a practice test and study guide available for purchase by the general public," said Nakamatsu. "An investigation and consultation with independent testing experts led us to conclude that some candidates may have therefore had an unfair advantage on the prior test." The Department of Human Resources has demanded reimbursement of the costs of the test –$23,500 – from I/O Solutions and has adopted procedures to ensure that the City's test vendors do not publicly post or distribute material that could compromise tests in the future. "We regret the inconvenience of this action and ask for the candidates' understanding that it is necessary to ensure fairness and integrity in the testing process," Nakamatsu said. Only the 2,309 candidates who took the September 10 written test will be eligible to take the new test, which is scheduled for February 25, 2006. Letters about the new test are being sent to each of the eligible candidates. Fire Chief Attilio Leonardi said, "We anticipate a three-month delay in our hiring process, which will not affect public safety." More than 4,000 people applied to be firefighters in June when the City issued its first call for recruits in more than three years. -30- Media contact: Ken Nakamatsu, director of Human Resources, 523-4809 |

Wolverhampton is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. In the 2011 census, the local government district had population of 249,470. Wolverhampton's urban population at the time of the 2001 census was given as 251,462, and was the second largest component of the West Midlands Urban Area[1] which makes it part of the second largest urban area in the United Kingdom. By this reckoning, it is the 12th largest city in England outside London. For Eurostat purposes, Wolverhampton is a NUTS 3 region (code UKG39). People from Wolverhampton are known as "Wulfrunians". Historically a part of Staffordshire, and forming part of the metropolitan county of the West Midlands from 1974, the city is commonly recognised as being named after Lady Wulfrun, who founded the town in 985: its name coming from Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn = "Wulfrūn's high or principal enclosure or farm". Prior to the Norman Conquest, the area's name appears only as variants of Heantune or Hamtun, the prefix Wulfrun or similar appearing in 1070 and thereafter.[2] Alternatively, the city may have earned its original name from Wulfereēantūn = "Wulfhere's high or principal enclosure or farm" after the Mercian King, who tradition tells us established an abbey in 659, though no evidence of an abbey has been found. The city grew initially as a market town with specialism within the woollen trade. During and after the Industrial Revolution, the city became a major industrial centre, with mining (mostly coal, limestone and iron ore) as well as production of steel, japanning, locks, motorcycles and cars – including the first vehicle to hold the Land speed record at over 200 mph. Today, the major industries within the city are both engineering based (including a large aerospace industry) and within the service sector.
[edit] History
A local tradition states that King Wulfhere of Mercia founded an abbey of St Mary at Wolverhampton in 659. Wolverhampton is recorded as being the site of a decisive battle between the unified Mercian Angles and West Saxons against the raiding Danes in 910, although sources are unclear as to whether the battle itself took place in Wednesfield or Tettenhall. The Mercians and West Saxons claimed a decisive victory and the field of Woden is recognised by numerous place names in Wednesfield.
In 994, a monastery was consecrated in Wolverhampton for which Wulfrun granted land at Upper Arley in Worcestershire, Bilston, Willenhall, Wednesfield, Pelsall, Ogley Hay near Brownhills, Hilton near Wall, Hatherton, Kinvaston, Hilton near Wolverhampton, and Featherstone.[3] This became the site for the current St. Peter's Church. A statue of Lady Wulfrun, sculpted by Sir Charles Wheeler, can be seen on the stairs outside the church.[3] In 1179, there is mention of a market held in the town, and in 1204 it had come to the attention of King John that the town did not possess a Royal Charter for holding a market. This charter for a weekly market held on a Wednesday was eventually granted on 4 February 1258 by Henry III.[4] It is held that in the 14th and 15th centuries that Wolverhampton was one of the "staple towns" of the woollen trade,[4] which today can be seen by the inclusion of a woolpack on the city's coat of arms, and by the many small streets, especially in the city centre, called "Fold" (examples being Blossom's Fold, Farmers Fold, Townwell Fold and Victoria Fold), as well as Woolpack Street and Woolpack Alley.[4] In 1512, Sir Stephen Jenyns, a former Lord Mayor of London and a twice Master of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors, who was born in the city, founded Wolverhampton Grammar School, one of the oldest active schools in Britain. From the 16th century onwards, Wolverhampton became home to a number of metal industries including lock and key making and iron and brass working. Wolverhampton suffered two Great Fires: the first in April 1590, and the second in September 1696. Both fires started in today's Salop Street. The first fire lasted for five days and left nearly 700 people homeless, whilst the second destroyed 60 homes in the first five hours. This second fire led to the purchase of the first fire engine within the city in September 1703.[4] On 27 January 1606, two farmers, Thomas Smart and John Holyhead of Rowley Regis, were executed on High Green, now Queen Square, for sheltering two of the Gunpowder Plotters, Robert Wintour and Stephen Littleton, who had fled to the Midlands. The pair played no part in the original plot but nevertheless suffered a traitor's death of being hanged, drawn and quartered on butcher's blocks set up in the square a few days before the execution of Guy Fawkes and several other plotters in London.[4] There is also evidence it may have been the location of the first working Newcomen Engine in 1712. [edit] 19th centuryIn Victorian times, Wolverhampton grew to be a wealthy town mainly due to the huge amount of industry that occurred as a result of the abundance of coal and iron deposits in the area. The remains of this wealth can be seen in local houses such as Wightwick Manor and The Mount (both built for the Mander family, prominent varnish and paint manufacturers), and Tettenhall Towers. Many other houses of similar stature were built only to be demolished in the 1960s and 1970s.
The railways reached Wolverhampton in 1837, with the first station located at Wednesfield Heath, now Heath Town on the Grand Junction Railway. This station was demolished in 1965, but the area exists as a nature reserve just off Powell Street. Wolverhampton railway works was established in 1849 for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway and became the Northern Division workshop of the Great Western Railway in 1854. In the 19th century the city saw much immigration from Wales and Ireland, following the Irish Potato Famine. In 1866, a statue was erected in memory of Prince Albert the Prince Consort, the unveiling of which brought Queen Victoria to Wolverhampton. The unveiling of the statue was the first public appearance Queen Victoria had made since the funeral of her husband. A tall archway made of coal was constructed for the visit. The Queen was so pleased with the statue that she knighted the then-mayor, an industrialist named John Morris. Market Square, originally named High Green, was renamed Queen Square in honour of the visit. The statue replaced a Russian cannon captured from Sevastopol during the Crimean War in 1855,[5] and remains standing in Queen Square. Wolverhampton was represented politically in Victorian times by the Liberal MP Charles Pelham Villiers, a noted free trade supporter, who was also the longest serving MP in parliamentary history. Lord Wolverhampton, Henry Hartley Fowler was MP for Wolverhampton at the turn of the century. [edit] Since 1900Wolverhampton had a prolific bicycle industry from 1868 to 1975, during which time a total of more than 200 bicycle manufacturing companies existed there, but today none exist at all. These manufacturers included Marston, Sunbeam, Star, Wulfruna and Rudge. The last volume manufacturers of bicycles left Wolverhampton during the 1970s, the remnants which shut down during the 1980s being small companies including Percy Stallard (the former professional cyclist) and Jack Hateley. Wolverhampton High Level station (the current main railway station) opened in 1852, but the original station was demolished in 1965 and then rebuilt. Wolverhampton Low Level station opened on the Great Western Railway in 1855. The site of the Low Level station, which closed to passengers in 1972 and completely in 1981, is currently undergoing redevelopment. In 1918, David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, announced he was calling a General Election at "The Mount" in Tettenhall Wood. Lloyd George also made his "Homes fit for heroes" speech at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre in the same year. It was on the idea of "Homes fit for heroes" that Lloyd George was to fight the 1918 "Coupon" General Election. Mass council housing development in Wolverhampton, to rehouse families from slum housing, began after the end of the Great War, with new estates at Parkfields (near the border with Coseley) and Birches Barn (near Bantock Park in the west of Wolverhampton) being built, giving the city some 550 new council houses by 1923. The first large council housing development in Wolverhampton was the Low Hill estate to the north-east of the city, which consisted of more than 2,000 new council houses by 1927 and was one of the largest housing estates in Britain at the time. Mass council housing development in Wolverhampton continued into the 1930s, mostly in the north of the city in the Oxley and Wobaston areas and on the new Scotlands Estate in the north-east. However, council house building halted in 1940 following the outbreak of World War II in September the previous year. Wolverhampton St George's (in the city centre) is now the northern terminus for the Midland Metro light rail system. Wolverhampton was one of the few towns to operate surface contact trams and the only town to use the Lorain Surface Contact System. Trolleybuses appeared in 1923 and in 1930 for a brief period, the Wolverhampton trolleybus system was the world's largest trolleybus system. The last Wolverhampton trolleybus ran in 1967, just as the railway line through the High Level station was converted to electric operation.
Sir Geoffrey Le Mesurier Mander, a member of the Mander family, was Liberal MP for Wolverhampton East from 1929 to 1945, distinguished for his stance against Appeasement and as a supporter of the League of Nations; known as "the last of the Midland radicals". More recent members have included the Conservative mavericks Enoch Powell and Nicholas Budgen. Powell was a member of Edward Heath's Tory shadow cabinet from 1964, until he was dismissed in April 1968 following his controversial Rivers of Blood speech in which he warned of massive civil unrest if mass immigration of black and Asian commonwealth inhabitants continued. In 2005, former Bilston councillor and MP for Wolverhampton South East, Dennis Turner entered the House of Lords as Lord Bilston. After the end of World War II in 1945, the council erected 400 prefabricated bungalows across Wolverhampton, and built its first permanent postwar houses at the Underhill Estate near Bushbury in the late 1940s. The 1950s saw many new houses and flats built across Wolverhampton as the rehousing programme from the slums continued, as well as the local council agreeing deals with neighbouring authorities Wednesfield Urban District and Seisdon Rural District which saw families relocated to new estates in those areas. The 1960s saw the rehousing programme continue, with multi-storey blocks being built on a large scale across Wolverhampton at locations including Blakenhall, Whitmore Reans and Chetton Green. The later part of the decade saw the Heath Town district almost completely redeveloped with multi-story flats and maisonette blocks. By 1975, by which time Wolverhampton had also taken in the majority of the former districts of Bilston, Wednesfield and parts of Willenhall, Sedgley and Coseley, almost a third of Wolverhampton's population lived in council housing, but since that date social housing has been built on a minimal scale in the area, and some of the 1919–1975 developments have since been demolished. Large numbers of black and Asian immigrants had settled in Wolverhampton in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Wolverhampton is home to a large proportion of the Sikh community, who settled there during the period (1935–1975) from the Indian state of Punjab. Today, the Sikh community in Wolverhampton is roughly 7% of the city's population. In 1974, as a result of local government reorganisation, Wolverhampton became a metropolitan borough. The United Kingdom government announced on 18 December 2000 that Wolverhampton would be granted city status, making it one of three "Millennium Cities", an honour that had been unsuccessfully applied for in 1953, 1966, 1977, 1985 and 1992.[6] Wolverhampton also made an unsuccessful application for a Lord Mayor in 2002.[6] Many of the city centre's buildings date from the early 20th century and before, the oldest buildings being St Peter's Church (which was built in the 13th century but has been largely extended and refurbished since the 15th century, situated on Lichfield Street) and a framed timber 17th-century building on Victoria Street which is now one of just two remaining in the area which was heavily populated by them until the turn of the 20th century. This building was originally a residential property, but later became the Hand Inn public house. It was completely restored in 1981 after a two-year refurbishment project and has been used by various businesses since then – currently as a second hand book shop. In 1960, plans were announced to build a Ring Road around the centre of Wolverhampton. By the end of the 1960s, more than half of the Ring Road had been completed, stretching from Snow Hill to Stafford Street (via Penn Road, Chapel Ash and Waterloo Road), followed a few years later by a section between Snow Hill and Bilston Street. However, the final section between Bilston Street and Stafford Street (via Wednesfield Road) was not completed until 1986. The centre of Wolverhampton has been altered radically since the mid-1960s; with the Mander Centre (plans for which were unveiled on 15 April 1965) being opened in two phases, the first in 1968 and the second in 1971. Several refurbishments have taken place since. The Wulfrun Centre, an open shopping area, was opened alongside the Mander Centre's first phase in 1968, but has been undercover since a roof was added in the late 1990s. Central Wolverhampton police station was built just south of the city centre on Birmingham Road during the 1960s, but operations there were cut back in the early 1990s when a new larger police station was built on Bilston Street on land which became vacant a decade earlier on the demolition of a factory. This was officially opened by Diana, Princess of Wales, on 31 July 1992. The city centre had several cinemas during the 20th century, the last of these was the ABC Cinema (formerly the Savoy) on the corner of Garrick Street and Bilston Street, which closed on 17 October 1991 after 54 years. It has since been converted into a nightclub, with part of the site being converted into the offices of a recruitment agency in 2005. A modern landmark in the city centre is the Crown Court on Bilston Street, which opened in 1990 as the town's first purpose built crown court. Many department store chains including Beatties, Marks and Spencer, British Homes Stores and Next have stores in the centre of Wolverhampton. Rackhams had a store on Snow Hill for some 25 years until 1992. This building was then divided between a Netto supermarket and the local archives service but by 2006 its future was under threat as part of the proposed Summer Row retail development. This led to the closure of the Netto supermarket in June 2007 and the closure of the archives service in October 2008. However, the Summer Row project has since fallen through and the building remains dormant. The city's name is often abbreviated to "Wolvo" or "W'ton". or "Wolves". [edit] Art and cultureFrom the 18th century, Wolverhampton was well known for production of the japanned ware and steel jewellery. The renowned 18th- and 19th-century artists Joseph Barney (1753–1832), Edward Bird (1772–1819), George Wallis (1811–1891) were all born in Wolverhampton and initially trained as japanned ware painters. The School of Practical Art was opened in the 1850s and eventually became a close associate of the Art Gallery. Among its students and teachers were Robert Jackson Emerson (1878–1944), Sir Charles Wheeler (Emerson's most famous pupil and the sculptor of the fountains in Trafalgar Square), Sara Page who established her studio in Paris, and many other artists and sculptors recognised locally and nationally. Wolverhampton Art Gallery was established in 1884, whilst Wolverhampton Grand Theatre was opened in 1894. There is a Creative Industries Quarter in Wolverhampton, just off Broad Street. From the newly opened Slade Rooms, to the art house cinema the Light House Media Centre and the Arena Theatre which is part of the University of Wolverhampton. [edit] ExhibitionsAs its wealth and influence grew, Wolverhampton both took part in notable exhibitions and hosted them. The Great Exhibition of 1851, at The Crystal Palace, had examples of locks, japanned ware, enamel ware and papier-mâché products all manufactured in Wolverhampton. Following successful exhibitions at Mechanics' Institutes in Manchester and many northern towns, Wolverhampton held an exhibition that was the brain child of George Wallis, an artist employed by the firm of Ryton and Walton. The exhibition was held in the Mechanics' Institute in Queen Street and showed both fine art and furniture, decorated trays, as well as a variety of ironwork, locks and steel toys. On 11 May 1869 The Earl Granville opened the Exhibition of Staffordshire Arts and Industry in a temporary building in the grounds of Molineux House.[7] The largest and most ambitious exhibition was the Arts and Industrial Exhibition which took place in 1902. Although housing only one international pavilion, from Canada, the scope and scale of the exhibition mirrored all the advances in other exhibitions of its time. The exhibition site featured several halls housing machinery, industrial products, a concert hall, two bandstands, a restaurant, and a fun fair with thrill rides and a water chute. Its opening, by the Duke of Connaught, was received with hopeful enthusiasm, unfortunately not matched by the weather, which contributed to a £30,000 loss, equivalent to nearly £2M at today's value.[7] [edit] Research Tips

IT takes a lot of dedication and resilience to be able to bring up a milestone such as 300 games, and in these days where players move from one club to another with ease, an incredible amount of love and loyalty towards the one club.
To reach that figure brings its own form of reverence and respect from club mates and opponents alike and there are few players within the South West District Football Netball League who are as highly regarded as Cavendish netball star Trish Hurley.
Hurley brought up her milestone in the convincing Round Four victory over Dartmoor, an achievement made even more impressive after spending much of last year watching her teammates from the sidelines while pregnant.
"It is so exciting to finally make the 300," she said.
"After having Thomas last year, I was very pleased to get back onto the court, play some A grade netball and get my 300 games up.

The American Cancer Society Bark For Life honors the lifelong contribution of all canine caregivers. Canine caregivers are all canine companions, which include but are not limited to guide dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, therapy dogs, police dogs, cancer survivor dogs, diagnostic dogs, who with their owners, are joining the American Cancer Society to celebrate cancer survivorship, to honor people lost to cancer, to raise funds in support of cancer research, education, awareness, patient services and advocacy, and to help eliminate the suffering that cancer causes worldwide.
"Canine companions represent unconditional love, joy, security, compassion, and no judgments of human abilities or appearances," said American Cancer Society Volunteer Paula Morfield.
"Bark For Life is a way to 'take a bite out of cancer,' smile, and make new friends, both canine and human, while supporting the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society."
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer.
As a global grassroots force of more than 3 million volunteers, the society fights for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.
Volunteers save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.
As the nation's largest nongovernmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, the American Cancer Society turns what it knows about cancer into life-saving action.
As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year.

Okay so our play group is trying out deathwatch for the first time and we came across some questions.
1. the first storm wardens psychic power (ancestors wrath) states that you can gain "a number of exotic weapons talents of his choice equal to his PR"
maybe this is simple but does that mean that while I keep this active I can choose to use a number of exotic weapons of my choice without the penalty or can this be used to get a talent like sure strike or swift attack while sustaining this power? I guess we just need a better more dumbed down explanation of this if possible.
2. our group has also found some errata about how some psychic powers that are sustained are actually free actions??? is there a list of which one or is it a general rule that all psychic powers that you sustain are free?

Can sunflowers grow ok in clay soil?
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have heavy clay soil and are amending it each year. I grew them for the first time last year. They did great. The spot we planted them was along a fenceline so the soil was still heavy clay. Growing them seemed to be no problem. Once the bluejays found them tho the seedheads were gone by the end of Oct. Marg |

For 2 days, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) heard from speakers on its proposed rules to accelerate the processing of union representation petitions and quicken the timing of elections. The speakers ranged from several labor unions, including the UFCW, SEIU, CWA and AFL-CIO as well as a number of trade associations, including National Federation of Independent Businesses, Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, National Association of Manufacturers, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and EBG client, National Grocers Association (NGA). The positions of the parties were largely split between the labor unions applauding the NLRB's proposed rule on making elections faster; whereas, … Continue Reading

Groundhog Day: Pro-Labor NLRB Again Attempts to Put The "Fix" In Union Elections: Reissues Discredited "Ambush" Election Rules
By Steven M. Swirsky, Adam C. Abrahms, Kara M. Maciel and Casey M. Cosentino
As previously predicted by the Management Memo on August 1, 2013 and October 30, 2013, the National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") issued a second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") to amend its existing rules and regulations governing union elections procedures. If they look familiar when you see them, there is a good reason for that: you have seen them before.
As readers of the Management Memo are well aware, the NPRM is the latest development in the long saga of organized labor's … Continue Reading
Frank Morris's "Top 5″ Action Items for Employers in 2014

It's December, and human resources professionals and law departments are reflecting on the issues addressed in 2013 and giving thanks for incident-free holiday parties.

Senate Confirms a "Full" 5 Member NLRB That Includes 3 Union Lawyers – Are You Ready?

Following is an excerpt:
On July 30th the Senate confirmed career union lawyer Kent Hirozawa (D) and retired AFL-CIO Associate General Counsel Nancy Schiffer (D) as well as seasoned management labor lawyers Philip Miscimarra (R) and Harry Johnson (R) to serve on the National Labor Relations Board. The Senate also confirmed current NLRB Chairman Mark … Continue Reading
President Obama Nominates Three Members to National Labor Relations Board – But Will the Senate Confirm?
by: Adam C. Abrahms, James S. Frank, Kara M. Maciel, and Steven M. Swirsky
President Obama has taken action designed to bolster the National Labor Relations Board's continuing move to bolster unions and take the National Labor Relations Act further into non-union workplaces. On April 9, 2013, President Obama announced his plan to submit three more nominees to serve the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB"). If these and the two other pending nominations are confirmed this would bring the NLRB to its full complement of five Members.
These new nominations – who must be confirmed by the U.S. … Continue Reading
The NLRB–Organizing by Pop-Up Unions in Break-Out Units
By: Allen B. Roberts
I wrote the February 2013 version of Take 5 Views You Can Use, a newsletter published by the Labor and Employment practice of Epstein Becker Green. In it, I discuss an alternative view of five topics that are likely to impact hospitality employers in 2013 and beyond. One topic involved the potential for labor organizing by pop-up unions in break-out units.
Despite some perceptions of cohesiveness and political acumen, influence and wherewithal following the 2012 election cycle, labor unions represent only about 7.3 percent of the private sector workforce in the United States, and only 6.6 percent of … Continue Reading
Webinar Recording: Employment Practices Facing NLRB Scrutiny
On Friday, November 16, I participated in a free 75-minute webinar discussion with Lafe E. Solomon, Acting General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board. The webinar was moderated by Terence H. McGuire of the Practical Law Company. We discussed:
- Factors that the NLRB considers when deciding whether to prosecute unfair labor practices based on these employment practices.
- Legal considerations surrounding these employment practices besides compliance with the National Labor Relations Act.
- The NLRB's stance on what is and is not a lawful at will disclaimer.
- Social Media and communications policies.
- The NLRB's position … Continue Reading
NLRB's Scrutiny of Employment-at-Will Disclaimers Signals a Trend to Employers
By: Bill Milani, Susan Gross Sholinsky, Dean Silverberg, Steve Swirsky, and Jennifer Goldman
EBG has prepared an Act Now Advisory on the NLRB's recent stance on employment-at-will disclaimers, which are generally incorporated in employee handbooks. Two recent claims filed before the National Labor Relations Board in Arizona alleged that language used in employers handbooks regarding at-will employment (and how that arrangement could not be changed) were overly broad and could therefore chill employees' rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
Hospitality employers should review their employee handbooks in light of the NLRB's recent enforcement position. … Continue Reading
NLRB Approves Resolution to Make It Significantly Easier for Unions to Organize the Hospitality Industry
By: Evan Rosen
Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") voted, 2-1, to approve its Resolution to drastically amend the rules governing union elections. While the Board's stated reason for the amendment is to reduce unnecessary litigation, it is apparent that this purpose is a sham, and that the real reason is to make it significantly easier for unions to organize employees, especially those in the highly targeted hospitality industry.
The Board did not vote on the entire proposal detailed in their June 22, 2011Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, but rather on a narrower version focused on representational hearings, appeals, … Continue Reading
Union Solicitation – Strategies for the Hospitality Industry
By: Kara M. Maciel and Evan Rosen
In recent weeks the Obama Administration's National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") has been very active in soliciting public comments and amicus briefs on a wide range of decisions and proposed regulations that could drastically change the labor relations landscape. One of these topics are the rules surrounding the scope of union solicitation on a non-unionized employer's private property.
We have received many inquiries from our clients about the Board's review of whether to change the solicitation rules. In light of the renewed focus on union solicitation, we want to remind you what the current … Continue Reading

Saturn started a minimal techno outfit called Socks and Sandals but had one more major contribution to make toward pH10. It was he who introduced Betts to Sarah, the woman who is now his partner in both music and life. Betts ended up sticking with pH10 and started a fruitful collaboration with MC Pete Miser. Together they produced "Needless to Say," a track that generated a fair amount of interest and got play on college radio. The collaboration with Miser continued through the next album, the varied Helmutvision, through the remix album BK United, which focused on the hip-hop end of pH10's sound, and on through Betts's latest effort, Well Connected. The hip-hop material that emerged from that joint project is among pH10's strongest, but Betts doubts he'll be moving toward hip-hop production full-time.
"Most MCs, even famous MCs, they're just not good," he offers. "They're full of shit, the rhymes aren't that good. It's hard to find good ones. The two that I've found [Miser and I-45] that were worth working with have been making records as long as I have."
The material on Well Connected is, arguably, all over the map. There are some tracks, such as "Bulldozin" and "BK United," that put the focus on the MCs and function as fairly straightforward hip-hop. Then there are tracks like "Serious Delerium" that hew pretty closely to the drum-and-bass sound, and finally, odd ducks like "Yiggplant," which introduces some guitar and is almost a throwback to the glory days of industrial.
But throughout all of these varied styles, there is a consistent aesthetic that favors thick, twisted analog timbres bathed in grimy, buzzing distortion and riddles the whole mix with pop-culture samples both obscure and recognizable — including an absolutely killer use of a Barry Manilow interview. It's an approach that's honed to near perfection on tracks such as "Intro" and "79MC" that slow the tempos down, putting the emphasis on the ebb and flow of sound around the rhythms. It's not an easy sound to categorize, but Betts is used to critics not quite getting his music.
"Reviewers say, 'These guys don't realize that drum and bass is so over,'" he explains. "What we get a lot of is, 'If this came out ten years ago, this would be as big as any of those bands are — but it's not ten years ago.' I feel if I go ahead and make this record with all of the slower stuff that's hard to classify, then that's a good thing. We were never really even drum and bass, anyway. That was just the closest thing."
Whether or not the new sound is embraced by critics and audiences, Betts himself is certain he's finally found exactly what he's been reaching for all along. "I haven't been this excited since the first record," he admits. "I can't wait to make the next record. I think this sound is what pH10 will be known for."
