ENORMOUS rolls of paper sit on the floor of the humming plant. Once loaded they show a surprising turn of speed for something so bulky, the paper racing into the printing press at 80 kilometres per hour. On the other side emerge neatly folded, printed bundles. The factory is a forest of conveyor belts, threading machines, hangers and other equipment that Johannes Gutenberg could never have dreamed about.
An industry that has raked in fat profits for years is struggling. Plunging circulation has forced many newspapers and magazines to shut. Survivors are seeing readers increasingly opt for screen over inky paper, so media companies are printing fewer and slimmer physical copies. Rising online sales and wobbly economies mean that retailers are not ordering catalogues and marketing material as they once did. The rising cost of paper has not helped.
Shrinking demand has put large printers such as Schlott Group in Germany out of business. Survivors have little pricing power in a fragmented industry: in America the top 400 printers have less than 30% of the market, according to IbisWorld, a research firm. Some say printing firms can now charge only around half what they did five years ago.
If journalists are gloomy about the outlook for their industry, printers are despondent. Media companies can still make some money as readers switch to digital editions; a printer cannot. The outlook for newspaper printers is particularly grim, says Robert Picard, a media economist: advertisers are now keener to run their adverts in magazines on high-quality glossy paper than in newspapers, whose circulation is dwindling. But newspapers and magazines require different printing equipment, so switching over is costly.
Some printers are offering marketers and retailers the option of printing more personalised catalogues to target different groups of consumers more accurately. But this is not as lucrative as "long runs", printer-speak for running off hundreds of thousands of identical copies. Several printers (including Rupert Murdoch's News International, which prints its own newspapers) have opened their presses to competitors to earn extra money; last year the newspaper group won a contract to print the Evening Standard, a London daily. A few reckon that they can turn a profit from the digital switch, and help clients to design electronic versions of their printed material.
Others are branching out into new businesses. "We know there's a freight train coming towards us," says Tom Quinlan, the boss of RR Donnelley, a large American printer (and one of The Economist's printers). Over the past 18 months the firm has bought nine companies including an online self-publishing site, a financial-data firm and one with a technology that newspapers can license for an online-payment system. If you can't print them, join them.

Starring – Raj Tandon, Aditya Sidhu, Anya Anand, Raghuveer Yadav, Yashpal Sharma, Manjusha Godse
Director – Gitanjali Sinha
Producer – Hemendra Aman
Banner – Gitanjali Creations
Music – Anand-Milind
Genre – family drama
Rating – **
By Prerrna Seth / Kreative Access Media
A simple tale of loving your grandparents clubbed with a youngster's struggle to get into the outer world is how Gitanjali Sinha's 'Yeh Khula Aasmaan' can be summed up. Avinash (Raj Tandon) has just flunked his IIT JEE entrance. His parents who stay in London have no time for him. Dad Kailash (Yashpal Sharma) is nagging about how useless his son is that he could not get into IIT JEE, like most present day dads who only see competition in life for himself and his son. Avinash is going through a tough phase in life and decides to travel to Bhagalpur, a remote village in Bihar where his grandfather Gulab Rai (Raghubeer Yadav) stays. The rest of the story is how Avinash tackles through his present situation with his grandpa's help and learns about life.
What's interesting about 'Yeh Khula Aasmaan' is the honesty with which the stars perform. Raj Tandon and Anya Anand who make their debut with the film do not give a chance to say that they are new comers. The duo show immense potential. Raghubeer Yadav, Yashpal Sharma and Manjusha Godse are natural stunners and give their best to the role. The surprise package was Avinash's competitor Salim played by Aditya Siddhu.
Director Sinha tries to prove a point that life is like flying kite, to win you got a go out and be confident to fight. She does make a decent attempt but lacks a punch that could have taken this film notches higher from where it currently is. The film gets really slow and loses direction just before it is about to reach the climax. It does start well but later Sinha loses control on what is she trying to depict. But one does get the message finally. The romantic track added also does not make much sense and is added for cinematic appeal. It could have been shown in a subtler manner.
Though, for a debut attempt, the film is decent. The film is honest and clean and that's the best part about it. People will finally connect to it. The cinematography and music was decent. My only gripe would be a missing punch.

When I write a post, I use Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) techniques to gain some Search Engine love and hence, traffic to TheTravelTart.com.
But sometimes, I seem to attract traffic from some rather odd keywords that I had no intention of targeting in the first place!
Firstly, I'm not sure what possesses some people to enter in the Funny Travel Keywords, and secondly, I'm not sure how the search engines think these search terms are relevant to TheTravelTart.com, but somehow they are!
Funny Travel Keywords!
So I've included the Funny Travel Keyword, the article the search brings up, and the Google keyword position!
There you go.

Tax legislation needs review
Roxbury Central School Superintendent Thomas O'Brien submitted the following op-ed piece to the NYS Rural Schools Association, of which he is a member of the board of directors. He requested that the article be reprinted in the Catskill Mountain News.
As we enter into our third year of the new tax levy legislation, it is time for it to be reviewed. Like all new laws, after time, there are evident unintended consequences. As this discussion continues about a logical means to adequately fund schools this issue is timely.
If it is the intent of the "tax levy limit" to provide optimal tax relief then we must be able to follow through during the entire levying cycle. Under the current guidelines, school districts must report to the New York State Comptroller by March 1 their anticipated "Tax Levy Cap" calculation. Once the Board of Education adopts a budget, by late April, we must re-report and update the calculation based on what the final budget means to the levy calculation. At that time, the budget and levy are set and presented for a vote on the third Tuesday in May.
This is the issue. During July and August, the equalization rates are set by the Office of Real Property and the tax rolls are determined for each of the municipalities within a district. These factors then are applied to a tax rate calculation spreadsheet to determine the actual tax rate by town. Depending on all of these factors, each town's rate will be affected differently. Prior to the "Tax Levy Cap," school districts, before the issuance of the tax warrant, could apply additional surplus fund balance (determined after the close of the fiscal year) to reduce the levy. This would be done to help offset any imbalance due to any changes from equalization rates or tax roll swings, a problem we are presently experiencing with a portion of our district.
Having the wrong impact
There is now a "perverse disincentive" to take such action with this new legislation. If a school district chooses to take such action to offset the imbalance in tax rates, it would be starting out next year's levy calculation in the hole by any additional surplus applied to reduce the levy. This problem arises due to the fact that the new year's levy calculation starts out with the last tax levy reported to the Comptroller's office. I propose that school districts be given flexibility in August after the warrant is set, to be able to go on to the Comptroller's website and revise the levy calculation a final time to reflect the levy actually raised by the school. This will enable us to assist our homeowners as much as possible, without hindering next year's levy.
Without this flexibility, school districts face another great challenge. When we balance our books and our fiscal house is in order and the fund balance is higher than the statutory limit of four percent, the only option that we have is to place it into non-voter referendum reserves, or be cited for being over the four percent limit. These reserves are important to maintain the long-term viability of a district in meeting its future obligations. Per recent Comptroller audits, school districts are being cited for over-funding these reserves. This leaves us in a no-win situation. The Comptroller finds fault with us if we fund our reserves with this money, and we limit our ability to raise funds in future years if we use it to reduce this year's tax levy.
At first blush a school district could be accused of over-budgeting and that is the reason for the surplus. In some cases that may be so, but in this age of spiraling unpredicted special education costs and other expenses such as fuel oil, I believe a sound fiscal manager can report the rationale for a surplus. A very basic example would be that if an area experiences a mild winter and uses less oil, in the spring there could be $30,000 in fuel expenses left over. $30,000 could have a significant impact on tax bills in small rural school districts like ours.
New York State school districts attempt to effectively strike a delicate balance between fiscal accountability and effective educational programming. We are sensitive to the challenges facing our taxpayers and many districts carried a de facto cap prior to this legislation. We need to ask our legislators, as I have already done, to assist us in analyzing this issue and help us find a solution to the unfortunate, unintended consequence of this new legislation. The "Tax Levy
Cap" was not enacted to create an impediment to lowering taxes, "Right now, it does!"
Respectfully Submitted,
Thomas J. O'Brien, Superintendent
Roxbury Central School

Irish, climbing since 2009. Fortunate enough to live reasonably close to two of the best trad destinations - Fair Head and the Mournes.
Love/hate relationship with the big hills and snowy things, but gravitating towards trad at the moment.
Best Climbing Experience
Lower Cove on a good day, or the E2 corners at Fair Head. Can't beat it.
A few good ones on Ben Nevis. Aonach Eagach on a clear day.
Spending the night in the Midi toilets after being silly on the Contamine Mazeaud. Frendo Spur, Kuffner Arete, Chere Couloir. Faffing about in Chamonix in Summer 2011.
QUBMC expedition to the Kokshaal Too in 2012. Tough but worth it.
Spending Winter 12-13 in Scotland and struggling up a few classics.
Every climbing experience has been worthwhile, even the miserable ones - they're often the ones I learn the most from.

Why should I tell my children I'm dying?
When should children be told that a parent might die?
Many factors influence when a child needs to be told that a parent is probably going to die. The first depends on what a child has been told over time about the situation. Hopefully, the child has been given truthful information from the start about the nature of the parent's cancer and how it affects the family. Children need to be told the truth in manageable doses and given a chance to adjust to what they can understand while still going about their everyday lives. If you have now reached the point that you know you are going to die soon and your doctor has confirmed this, your children need to be told. Most parents would rather avoid or postpone this hard talk, but if you wait for the "right time" it may not happen at all.
You will want to have some uninterrupted time and a quiet place, and you might also want the other parent or another adult who is close to the child to be with you. A good way to begin this discussion might be to ask your children what they understand about your illness and how they think things are going. Your children might already have an idea that things are worse than before. Children react to what they experience and see. If your condition has worsened, you are probably less able to take part in their normal activities and are more tired, depressed, or anxious, so they might sense that the treatment is not working well. But given the advances in managing the side effects of treatment, in some cases patients may not look as if they are dying. Children are also very concrete. One little boy, when asked if he worried about his dad dying, said that he knew this wouldn't happen because his dad's feeding tube was helping him eat. So don't assume that you know what's going on in your child's mind. You must ask.
Because a child's concept of time is so different from an adult's, your children may not cope well with many months of waiting for a parent to die. So talk to them gradually and only when you are fairly certain that this will happen in the near future, as in days or weeks. Wait until you have the emotional energy to address the issue. If this seems impossible for you, talk to your spouse or other family members about who can best handle these discussions. Ideally your spouse or someone your children are close to and trust should talk with the child. If you cannot count on family members to help you with this, talk to your health care team and ask for their help. Cancer care professionals have experience with families in all situations and are usually very willing to help or refer you to the outside help your family needs.

Remixes – Polyphonic Spree
Here are a couple of recently released remixes we did for the band Polyphonic Spree. The first was done by Corey Farrow and I when I was visiting Akron in November 2013. We did it under the name Miyamigo and the track is as straight up dance as it gets. The band asked for a second remix in the same style and needed it very quickly. Corey and I currently live on opposite sides of the country and prefer to avoid non real world (ie internet file swapping) collaboration so it ended up being a solo affair. I ended up DJ'ing the band's San Francisco show and talked a while with Tim DeLaughter, the brains behind the Spree (and Tripping Daisy before that). Fun times. Thanks to Matt at ABR, Tim and everyone at Poly's management. – jm

SQL Full Outer Join
What is Full Outer Join in SQL?
In SQL the FULL OUTER JOIN combines the results of both left and right outer joins and returns all (matched or unmatched) rows from the tables on both sides of the join clause.
SELECT * FROM table1 FULL OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column_name=table2.column_name;
Name | Description |
table1, table2 | Name of the tables participating in joining. |
column_name | Column of the participating tables. |
Example :
Let's combine the same two tables using a full join.
SELECT * FROM table_A FULL OUTER JOIN table_B ON table_A.A=table_B.A;
Because this is a full join, all rows (both matching and nonmatching) from both tables are included in the output. There is only one match between table table_A and table table_B, so only one row of output displays values in all columns. All remaining rows of output contain only values from table table_A or table table_B, with the remaining columns set to missing values
only one row of output displays values in all columns explain below -
Pictorial representation
Example :
Here is an example of full outer join in SQL between two tables.
Sample table : foods
Sample table : company
As we know the FULL OUTER JOIN is the combination of the results of both LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN, so, here we are going to describe how FULL OUTER JOIN perform internally.
Pictorial Representation
Here is the SQL statement which returns all rows from the 'foods' table and 'company' table using "FULL OUTER JOIN" clause.
SELECT a.company_id AS "a.ComID", a.company_name AS "C_Name", b.company_id AS "b.ComID", b.item_name AS "I_Name" FROM company a FULL OUTER JOIN foods b ON a.company_id = b.company_id;
FULL OUTER JOIN using WHERE clause
We can include a WHERE clause with a FULL OUTER JOIN to get return only those rows where no matching data between the joining tables are exists.
The following query returns only those company that have no matching food product in foods , as well as those food product in foods that are not matched to the listed company.
SELECT a.company_id AS "a.ComID", a.company_name AS "C_Name", b.company_id AS "b.ComID", b.item_name AS "I_Name" FROM company a FULL OUTER JOIN foods b ON a.company_id = b.company_id WHERE a.company_id IS NULL OR b.company_id IS NULL ORDER BY company_name;
FULL OUTER JOIN using UNION clause
A UNIOIN clause can be used as an alternate to get the same result as FULL OUTER JOIN
Here is the example:
Code : using FULL OUTER JOIN
SELECT table_a.A,table_a.M,table_b.A,table_b.N FROM table_A FULL OUTER JOIN table_B ON table_A.a=table_b.A ORDER BY table_A.A;
FULL OUTER JOIN using LEFT and RIGHT OUTER JOIN and UNION clause
The following code is, the combination of LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN and combined by, using UNION clause
SELECT table_a.A,table_a.M,table_b.A,table_b.N FROM table_A LEFT OUTER JOIN table_B ON table_A.a=table_b.A UNION SELECT table_a.A,table_a.M,table_b.A,table_b.N FROM table_A RIGHT OUTER JOIN table_B ON table_A.a=table_b.A;
Note: Outputs of the said SQL statement shown here is taken by using Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.

The Retail Sales Associate position is the foundation of the retail industry. This is where customers are served and items are sold. Without the Retail Sales Associate, customers these days would have much less incentive to physically go to a store, as they can purchase just about anything online.
Read More...Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
While not commonly seen, Retail Sales Associates who transition into a Registered Nurse position may see a rise in pay. The median salary for Registered Nurses is $55K per year. The most common next step for a Retail Sales Associate is to become a Retail Store Assistant Manager or a Retail Store Manager. The former position pays an additional $12K per year on average, and the latter position pays $20K more per year.
Retail Sales Associates fill the offices of leading firms Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, The Home Depot Inc., Macy's, Inc., Best Buy, and Target Corporation. Although Verizon Wireless leads the field in pay with a median salary of $38K, employees there receive a wide spread of salaries, from $23K on the low end all the way up to $56K at the top. Other big spenders include T-Mobile, Inc., Lowe's Home Improvement Inc., and The Home Depot Inc., top-paying firms where Retail Sales Associates see paychecks nearing $27K, $24K, or $23K.
Not only do salaries lack room to grow — pay ranges from $15K to just $19K — but Ross Stores, Inc offers the lowest pay in town to boot, with a median paycheck of $16K. Also sliding in at the lower end of the scale are Kohl's Department Stores Inc, Old Navy, and The Gap Inc.. Their employees typically earn $17K.
Retail Sales Associates report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, facility with Customer Relationship Management, Inside Sales, and Client Interaction are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 23 percent, 21 percent, and 13 percent, respectively. Most people experienced in Customer Service also know Cash Handling and Customer Relations.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Retail Sales Associates, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $19K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $22K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $25K in this role. Retail Sales Associates who have stuck around for more than two decades see earnings that are only slightly higher than those of folks who have worked for 10 to 20 years; the more senior group makes around $26K on average.
For Retail Sales Associates, busy San Francisco offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 30 percent above the national average. Retail Sales Associates can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like San Diego (+17 percent), New York (+14 percent), Chicago (+14 percent), and Seattle (+12 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 6 percent south of the national average, can be found in San Antonio. Below-median salaries also turn up in Austin and Houston (6 percent lower and 4 percent lower, respectively).

>Traffic Counts
Traffic CountsTraffic Monitoring is responsible for the collection of all types of traffic data including traffic volumes, vehicle classification, turning movements and special studies as requested by the Department. The reporting of traffic volumes is accomplished through two distinct methods involving the Continuous Count and Coverage (i.e. short term) Count programs. The Continuous Count Program consists of 72 permanent recorder sites located throughout the state, monitoring traffic volumes 365 days per year on an hourly basis. Additionally, 18 of these sites classify the vehicles into 13 categories as required by the Federal Highway Administration. The Coverage Count Program divides the state into 3 zones: the southern/coastal area, the central band and the northern/eastern portions of the state. Traffic count and vehicle classification data are collected for 24 hours utilizing road tubes and adjusted to an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volume. The Traffic Monitoring Section is responsible for the publication of the Traffic Volume Counts Annual Report.

Concierge.com's insider take:
One of the world's famous hotels (no longer related to the even more famous Paris Ritz) opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership. You really need to have a penchant for your Louis XVI, though: Staying here is like owning the Petit Trianon for the duration, especially if you get a room (one of 137) on the west side overlooking Green Park. Everywhere are sparkly glass chandeliers, heavy silk curtains, and curvy brocaded armchairs; the ornate cornices are not just gilded, they are 24-carat-gold–leafed. Bathrooms and fireplaces are marble; ceilings are at least 12 feet high; and everything comes in the Ritz candy palate of rose, lemon, peach, and powder blue. After years and acres of minimalism and white, it's all rather refreshing, especially after a Champagne tea or an exorbitant meal in the outrageously elaborate restaurant with its frescoes and putty-and-pink boudoir chairs. There's a fitness studio on the seventh floor, but runners also have Green and St James's parks literally on their doorstep. The salon, refurbished in early 2006, also provides a range of health and beauty treatments.

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, barfs because of the new Test::Pod.
This POD construct is illegal according to perlpodspec, and will not be formatted correctly on search.cpan.org, either:
Test::Pod catches it now. My wonder is how many people are using it.
Test::Pod also requires Perl 5.8 now, and I'd like to think that pretty much every module on CPAN could use modern Perl versions at this point.

The Anna Johnson Family Home Page (Stansbury Lineage - 1658)Updated September 5, 2000 |
Connie L Welty 1453 Baden Powell Rd. Hawthorne, Florida 32640 United States (352) 475 - 5551 firstname.lastname@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
Hello..... I am attempting to contact descendants of ANNA MAE (BURNETT) JOHNSON. Anna was born July 29, 1891. During the 1960's to Feb. 1971, she was known as "GRANNY" to hundreds of local kids that passed through the elementary school cafeteria; where she worked in the kitchen. Granny spent her early years on Burnett's Creek and later moved to Kimberlin Heights Rd. She belonged to New Hopewell Baptist Church and rests there today, alongside her husband and family members. Historically, Anna married a descendant of well known lineage:(1) Detmar and Rinske STANSBURY. They reportedly arrived from Holland in 1658, with their 6yr. old son (2) Tobias STANSBURY who later married Sarah RAVEN (3) Samuel A. STANSBURY, Sr. -m- Mary PORTER(4) Samuel A. STANSBURY, Jr. -m- name unknown(5) Luke STANSBURY -m- 2nd wife Nancy HADDOCK(6) Comfort STANSBURY married James WILHITE (7) Mary Emaline WILHITE married Lorenzo Dow JOHNSON(8) Alfred Haskell JOHNSON married Anna Mae BURNETT and brings us nearly to date. MOST IMPORTANTLY - As Haskell was hit by a car and died of resulting pneumonia, in the mid-1930's; Anna was left to raise their 8 children (Generation #9) alone! As one of the known 14 grandchildren (Gen. #10).... I am hoping to authenticate what we have and add on Gen. #11 and 12 as well, to this proud lineage. I am also missing some dates regarding the eight kids: Garlen, Fritz, Viola, Gertie, Wilbur, Ross, Raymond and Alfred. So IF you are a grandchild or great-grandchild of "Granny Anner" of Knoxville, Tennessee...... please write me and allow me to share what I have learned about our heritage. I would love to update this line with our many stories, photos, events - good or bad. Many before me have done so much work on tracing this line - we can honor them by just continuing what they started............ Let's bring it up to date! As of July 27th, 1998 - I have written to 11 of the 12 remaining grandchildren; to help get us on track digging up those stories and photos! I will gladly share any Stansbury information with descendants of other branches of this tree. I am looking forward to hearing from the 'Johnson Clan'...... (wouldn't Granny get a kick to know we were all in touch again?) ..... Lots of Love, ConnieSome Surnames included are: Breighten, Brown, Burnett, Cabaniss, Clark, Collins, Coker, Ford, French, Fryar, Glass, Hankins, Harness, Haynes, Helton, Johnson, Lynch, Monday, McMurry, Murphy, Owens, Reynolds, Rose, Simpson, Stansberry, Stansbury, Wells, Wilhite, Wilhoit(e)... and many, many more.................. |

One story can be told a thousand ways
To each has there own way to retell it
And so it will grow in our hearts
Our mind and it will grow from love
A true story that will stand the test of time
To each has there own way to retell it
And so it will grow in our hearts
Our mind and it will grow from love
A true story that will stand the test of time
No matter the town or state, high schools are all the same. Humans lack a creative bone. Every idea stolen form somewhere but I am no different. Just tired of being me. Jacob caught my gaze and frowned.
"Your to much like her." He chuckled, nudging me gently. I felt my face slip into a smirk. Bella and I were to much alike except for one major thing. She was happy and I am at war with myself.
Jacob sensed that I was in no mood to cheer up. I felt him leave my side, his heat no longer comforting me. I hated being cold but my thoughts where elsewhere. Things just clicked for him. He made high school look easy. I walked down the hall, side stepping people.
Every one was scurrying to class, chattering of summer break. I followed like a zombie, no one asked about the new girl. Just left me in peace. It gave me time to study the layout of the school and map out how to get around.Nothing like getting lost on the frist day. English classroom was easy to find. As I entered I walked straight to the back of class. Not even noticing when Jacob joined me as I took a seat. Our teacher started ranting about the syllabus and something about not using sparks notes because he had an extra sense.
Out of boredom, I started taking stock of the class room. Exits where always first on the list. Never enter a room you cant escape from. Three windows on the first floor and the door. Next the people that occupy the space. Fourteen students, five girls including myself. That left nine of the male persuasion. Something white caught my eye, snagging my attention.
Sitting two rows ahead of me was a girl with white hair. She had it styled in some emo style and a deep red ribbon tied at the bottom over the top. She wore a school uniform through it wasn't required at public schools. But her skin was my envy. I am pale like Bella but hers was honey colored and glowing.
"Humph." I crossed my arms and looked away. Jacob chuckled looking just where I had. The teacher who's name I never caught started role call. She turned back to look at the clock, my eyes were drawn to her full lips corners perked up into a mischievous smile.
I felt Jacob tense at my side, I glaced quickly at his darkening face and followed his eyes. Staring straight back at me where two dark red eyes compelteing the face of the white haired girl.
Maybe this year will be interesting?
My anger sat thick in my throat. I had never had to control the beast within me for so long. I left that English class after the bell rang and walked straight off.
"A vampire sitting right in class!" My thoughts screamed.
Once in the cover of the woods, I released the anger and just ran. I had the other voices poking in, so I let my thoughts run.
"There was no smell and it was sunny even the Cullen's missed the first day. That girl seem completely at ease around all that blood. There was no strain in her face or body langue."
"Maybe she albino?" Seth teased me which only fueled my frustration.
"Your kidding right?" Quil asked. His mind felt foggy and sleepy.
"Why are you two not in class?" I demand running into the grounds of the Cullen's new house.
A huge stone front with a quest house that the pack used. I ran straight into the house without listening to the excuses that Seth or Quil had for me. I grabbed my change of cloths and headed to the main house. The door hit that wall as I opened it, I knew Edward had already relayed most of what I had to say. All their eerie faces looked calm. They already came to an agreement.
"We will wait and see. Maybe she is new to our way and her eyes haven't switched yet or she hunts far enough that its untraced to this town." Mr. Cullen said his eyes meeting mine. He had the air of authority around him. I sat down my anger leaving me. We have moved three times last year because of my anti-vampire habit. I came close to blowing our cover. I needed control. This was not a request but a silent command for me to stand down and see if she becomes an issue.
"We will watch her closely, Jacob." He said answering my unasked question.
"Hell for all we know she is albino!" Emmet booming laugh filled the room. The tension left and a carefree feeling came washing in. Jasper smiled lightly under his blonde mane. They where family now and I've come to depend on them greatly. We knew each other weakness and strength and together we were strong as coven and pack.

Can a person's blood type change?
Only in very rare circumstances and with certain forms of cancer present. The most common cause of seemingly changed blood types is the antigen sensitivity of the chemicals used to test the blood. Drugs or other factors about your blood may cause an erroneous readings. Operator error or poor lighting can result in an incorrect interpretation of the test results.

On Monday, the Knicks showed they can handle themselves just fine without Carmelo Anthony.
Will they be able to say the same after Wednesday's game?
Anthony might miss the game against the Pistons due to a right knee injury. He's listed as questionable.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Auburn Hills, Mich. Here are a few things to keep an eye on during the game:
AMAR'E ROLE: If Anthony can't play, it will be interesting to see how Mike Woodson handles his starting lineup.
Anthony left Monday's game with about six minutes to go in the second quarter. Woodson inserted Amar'e Stoudemire and J.R. Smith into the lineup to start the third quarter, and the Knicks ultimately rebounded from a 22-point deficit against the Cavs.
Woodson has been hesitant to include Stoudemire or Smith in the starting five while Anthony's healthy. But if Melo's out, the coach needs to find a way to replace Anthony's scoring.
Stoudemire has thrived off the bench this season. His numbers per 36 minutes are impressive: 21.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. On Monday, he scored 22 points.
So if Melo's out, does Woody ask STAT to start?
Another issue: Woodson has shied away from using Stoudemire late in the fourth quarter of close games. He left Amar'e on the bench in the closing minutes of the Knicks' loss to Miami on Sunday, but later admitted that he made a mistake in doing so.
Does that mean Stoudemire will be on the floor Wednesday night in crunch time? Most likely.
DOMINATION VS. DETROIT: New York won the first three meetings with the Pistons by an average of 16.7 points and is looking for its second straight season sweep of Detroit.
The Pistons have lost five of six and are struggling without injured center Andre Drummond (tailbone). He has missed 12 games and the Pistons have given up 102.5 points per game without him. They were allowing 96.7 points per game before Drummond went down.
GOOD MORNING, KIDD: If the past two games are any indication, it looks like Jason Kidd's shooting slump is over.
Kidd is averaging 13 points on 57 percent shooting over the past two games. He's also averaging eight rebounds, 3.5 assists and three steals.
In the 10 games prior, Kidd averaged just 2.6 points on 19.1 percent shooting.

Diabetes can cause problems with the peripheral nervous system. My aunt has peripheral neuropathy, which means that the nerves in her extremities have been damaged, but her central nervous system is fine.
She had tingling and numbness in her legs, feet, hands, and arms. Sometimes, she could feel pain in them, but they hardly ever felt normal.
It sounds strange, but her doctor actually prescribed an antidepressant to treat her peripheral neuropathy. Somehow, it is able to fix the problem.

Now, the informal part of my home page. First, some curiosities. I was born in London (England) on January 7, 1956. From 1959 to 1985, I lived in Florence (Italy). Since 1986 I have been living in the country near Pisa (Italy). I am married, with a daughter. My family name derives from the hungarian name Bertos and it is very common near Udine, where I have a lot of relatives (Udine is a city in the north-east of Italy that was formerly part of the austro-hungarian empire). My first name does not come from Alan Turing, but from the american actor Alan Ladd, the star of the western movie "Shane" that my elder brother saw just before my birth. My grand-mother and my father were born in France and Australia, respectively, while my mother was florentine. My brother now lives in California, but I have other relatives also in Argentina and in Germany.
regard to my personal interests, my main hobby is photography (by the
way, my grand-father on my mother's side was a professional
photographer in Florence). You can click to see some of my pictures.
I like very much both lyric opera and cinema. The authors I like the
most are Verdi (notably, his works "Rigoletto", "Otello",
and "Macbeth") and Hitchcock (mainly, his films "Notorious"
and "Vertigo"). Besides these, the ten best films ever also
include, in my opinion: "Battleship Potemkin", "The
bicycle thief", "Citizen Kane", "8 1/2",
"Modern times", "The seventh seal", "2001: A
space odyssey", and "Wild strawberries". A sign of the
destiny: when I was a little boy my mother often sang me "Que
sera, sera", a song from Hitchcock's movie "The man who
knew too much"! Here are the lists of my favourite operas
and movies, among those I have in CDs/DVDs
up to now.
I like
mountains and I usually spend my summer vacations in Val Gardena. I
also like good (and possibly cheap) restaurants: my usual places are
the Trattoria Baldini (in Florence) and the Ristorante Castero (in
Lavaiano, near Pisa). If you are in Florence, try a "panino col
lampredotto" (a wet loaf stuffed with tripe and green sauce):
you can find it at Nerbone, inside the covered central market of San
Lorenzo. If you visit northern Italy, I can suggest you one of the
best places where I ate: the Ristorante
Hotel Villa Crespi (of course, prices are proportional to its
class and fine cuisine). Last but not least, I am a fan of the
florentine soccer team,
and this explains the presence of the following flower ...

Pens Black and Gold game in Wilkes-Barre
With all the excitement of the football season officially starting tonight, I nearly forgot about the Pittsburgh Penguins Black and Gold game here in Wilkes-Barre, PA next Thursday! I can't wait to see the Pittsburgh Pens play the new members of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins AND to see the Stanley Cup up close and personal.
Re: Pens Black and Gold game in Wilkes-Barre
Re: Pens Black and Gold game in Wilkes-Barre
I'm pumped and cannot wait! Crosby is the captain for the Black team and Malkin is the captain for the Gold team. It's not too often you get to see those two go against each other. :chuckle:
On a side note, all 8,350 seats in the Wachovia Arena (the home arena of the Baby Pens) are sold out. I can't wait! |
Re: Pens Black and Gold game in Wilkes-Barre
I remember them doing this several years back after Lemieux un-retired. It's a pretty cool event, and I'm glad you guys will get to see what we see here every night...along with Lord Stanley's Cup!
Re: Pens Black and Gold game in Wilkes-Barre
The game was awesome! It was so cool seeing Crosby and Geno playing against each other! Oh, seeing Lord Stanley's Cup was pretty cool too. :chuckle:
But seriously, it was really fun. Geno absolutely LAID OUT Craig Adams (I think it was Adams) at the end of the last period. It was funny when Sidney Crosby got sent to the Sin Bin because literally everyone sitting around him got up and starting taking a zillion pictures. Security literally had to go down there to clear everyone out of the way. It was such a cool experience and I'm really glad they thought of us over here in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area. :thumbsup: :tt03: |

Seven races, seven different winners, and once again, a new driver at the top of our weekly power rankings.Start Slideshow
But this time, it's a driver who doesn't have a win yet.
Two weeks after nearly winning at California, Jeff Gordon finished second at Texas, losing the lead on the final lap to Joey Logano.
With five top-10 finishes in seven races and a worst finish of 13th, Gordon vaulted to the top of the points standings.
He still has his eye on that first win, though.
"The pressure's always there to win. You always want to win," Gordon said. "Winning benefits you whether it's this points system or any other points system.
"(But) it's important to be consistent because that helps get you in a position more often to win. Every race that goes by that there's a different winner, the pressure gets more intense. You just got to go look at that next opportunity and try to put yourself in that position to go win it."
A look at the risers and fallers in our weekly Power Rankings.
MORE: Classic Darlington photos | Darlington faces another date challenge
Gordon has missed out on two golden opportunities to win in the past three weeks, but he's not complaining. After getting off to slow starts and barely making the Chase the past two years, he leads the points standings for the first time since 2009. And he's building toward that first win of the season.Next
Logano is an example of what happens when you run up front consistently. After three top-five finishes in the first six races, he finally was the class of the field and pounced on an opportunity to win. Logano has never won this early in the season and been locked into the Chase. It will be interesting to see how well he performs with no pressure on him.Next
Busch continues to race smart and put himself into position to win. By consistently showing up at the front at the end of races, he's a good bet to be the first driver to double up on wins.Next
Seven races, seven different winners, and none of them are Matt Kenseth, who won seven times last year. I would raise the question of what's wrong with his team and why he hasn't won yet, but, alas, he won last year's Southern 500 at Darlington, so that might be a bit premature.Next
Edwards led the standings just three weeks ago but has dropped to third after finishes of 13th and 14th. He has a win, but needs more consistency to be a serious title contender.Next
Johnson continues to be plagued by tire problems. Either Goodyear is out to get him (see latest conspiracy theory) or his team is pushing the envelope a bit too much. Johnson got a piece of teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s wreck at Texas, and then had a flat. Just when you think he's back, something else goes wrong.Next
Earnhardt could seemingly do no wrong at the start of the season. That wore off in a big way at Texas, where he admittedly made a bonehead mistake by running through the frontstretch grass and wrecking. "That's just awful," he said. Now he heads to Darlington, where he has never won a race and doesn't have a sterling record.Next
MORE: Junior tops 215 at Michigan | Earnhardt doesn't want too many winners | Jr. proud of JR Motorsports
Vickers keeps getting better and better with his Michael Waltrip Racing team. With three top-10s in the past four races, he's in the top 10 in points and looking like a legit Chase contender.Next
Good thing Stewart started on the pole and finished 10th at Texas, because the rest of his Stewart-Haas teams were stinking up the joint.Next
Menard has three straight top-10 finishes and has climbed to 10th in the standings. He's now carrying the Richard Childress Racing banner.Next
Keselowski couldn't have picked a worse time to get caught speeding on pit road at Texas. The gaffe cost him a shot at the win and erased one of the challenges to teammate Logano. Just another result of being able to gamble when you have a win.Next
Dillon slipped a bit and struggled to a 21st-place finish at Texas. Or maybe it just looked like he was struggling while rookie-of-the-year rival Kyle Larson was running in the top five.Next
Bowyer continues to be plagued by bad breaks. He was running in the top five when his crew missed a lug nut and he had to pit again. He rallied to finish eighth, however, a testament to his never-say-die attitude.Next
Second at California and fifth at Texas, Larson continues to shine on the fastest tracks. Can't wait to see how he handles tricky Darlington, the "Track Too Tough To Tame."Next
The question we almost posed to Kenseth, his teammate, can now be asked about Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs Racing team. What the heck is wrong? Hamlin had his second straight mediocre run after his mysterious eye injury and his fourth of the season. Either something is still bothering Hamlin or his team hasn't quite figured out the new setups yet. Darlington is one of his best tracks, so this week could be another telltale sign.Next
Kahne has led in just two races this year and has only a pair of measly eighth-place finishes. He continues to underachieve in elite equipment.Next
As exciting as Busch's victory was at Martinsville two weeks ago, his weekend at Texas was a disaster. Busch crashed in practice and then wrecked three times in the race. He and his team seem to be an all-or-nothing bunch.Next
If he didn't already have a win, Harvick would be livid and going on a rampage right now (and he might yet). After three dismal finishes due to flat tires and mechanical failures, he blew an engine at Texas. That early-season win is going to be a distant memory before long.Next
Biffle hoped to bounce back at one of his best tracks, and he did, though he wasn't as strong as usual at Texas. Still, he finished sixth, his best of the season and second top-10.Next
After a couple of solid early-season runs, Newman and his RCR team seem to be in a funk with four straight finishes of 16th or worse.Next
Almirola finished 12th at Texas and seems to be gaining some momentum with two straight top-12 finishes.Next
Ambrose, meanwhile, couldn't finish off a strong run at Texas. After running in the top 10 early in the race, Ambrose faded to 20th.Next
McMurray seems to have fallen behind rookie teammate Kyle Larson, who was fast at Texas while McMurray wasn't. Larson has three top-10s — two top-fives — to McMurray's two.Next
How bad has Truex been with his new Furniture Row team? His 18th-place finish at Texas was his second-best of the season.Next
Allmendinger regressed at bit at Texas, finishing 23rd after two solid runs. But he still finished ahead of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (24th last week), Casey Mears, Danica Patrick and others vying for a spot in the top 25.

The Grammys: Best rock OR rap gospel album?
Each year, the Grammys pit singer against singer, songwriter against songwriter and, in the case of the Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album race, have guitarists battle MCs.
The former Best Rock Gospel Album category opened up to Christian rap back in 2006, becoming a general dumping ground for all loud, throbbing music about God. Yes, most big Grammy races -- Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist -- include nominees from different genres, but to mix rap and rock in a gospel sub-category is bizarre. And yes, the artists recognized are in the biz to give glory to God, not win Grammys, but it's still strange to put them in a contest that is the Recording Academy equivalent of "America's Got Talent," where comedians, dance crews and opera singers are all tossed in the same ring and are somehow judged against each other.
Click Track attempts to call this strange race between rock singers and rappers, drummers and drum machine programmers after the jump (And also provides a little background and secular music context for those who don't know a P.O.D. from a KJ-52.)
"The Big Picture," Da' T.R.U.T.H.
Sounds like: Will Smith and Freeway at Bible Study
Quick facts: Philadelphia rapper Da' T.R.U.T.H, a past Stellar Awards winner in the Rap/Hip-Hop Gospel CD of the Year category (see how that works, Grammys?), is currently taking a break from music: The Christian MC announced an indefinite hiatus in November, following reports of infidelity in his marriage. And although "The Big Picture" was a big success, Da T.R.U.T.H.'s label, Cross Movement Records suspended the artist due to his "moral failure."
He could win if: The majority of the Recording Academy's voting members don't care about the "moral failings" of musicians (which is almost certainly the case -- it's the music industry!). Judged solely on his celebratory lyrics and seamless production, Da'T.R.U.T.H is the one to beat.
"Crash," Decyfer Down
Sounds like: Nickelback, with lyrics by Joel Osteen
Quick facts: The North Carolina band's sophomore album takes its name and musical inspiration from an actual crash -- while on the road promoting its first effort, "End of Grey," the group's tour van went off the road during an icy storm, spun across three lanes of traffic and smashed into a guard rail.
They could win if: Voters were so touched by the band's harrowing crash story that they forgot their collective distaste for white men with dreadlocks (see Grammy-less Counting Crows singer Adam Duritz).
"Innocence & Instinct," Red
Sounds like: Linkin Park screaming through the Garden of Eden
Quick facts: Another Christian rock band, another horrible tour van accident (who is driving these guys around?). "Innocence & Instinct" is inspired by the band's serious crash (their tour van hit a guardrail and slid across a highway) and also, they say, "Dante's Inferno."
They could win if: Voters were so touched by Red's harrowing crash story that they forgot how cliché it is to make an album themed around "Dante's Inferno"
"Live Revelations," Third Day
Sounds like: Daughtry covering Lynyrd Skynyrd at church picnic
Quick facts: Third Day has long been labeled as Christian music's big crossover hope; "Live Revelations" is their latest effort to spread The Word to the widest possible audience.
They could win if: The voting membership likes religious music that can very easily masquerade as secular music.
"The Dash," John Wells-The Tonic
Sounds like: Jay-Z +Jehovah
Quick facts: In the weeks leading up to the Grammys, John Wells-The Tonic, another Philly rapper, has created a series of online videos called "Grammys: The Glitz vs. Glory." In them, he discusses the big, fancy, back-patting awards show and how it interferes -- and doesn't interfere -- with his musical ministry.
He could win if: The academy enjoys lyrics about spiritual journeys delivered in the style of '90s backpack rap -- or if they want to hear a rapper give an acceptance speech in which he thanks God for the success of an album that isn't about cars, jewelry or getting' it on.

Although he is Swedish, Gardell has studied the American radical right extensively since the mid-1990s, publishing two books and scores of scholarly articles on the subject. After completing an extensive study of the Nation of Islam in 1996, Gardell embarked on an another major research project, interviewing several hundred white American racist activists and spending long periods of time with key leaders. Later this year, the results of this work, which focused heavily on the rise of neo-Paganism on the radical right, are expected to be published by Duke University Press as Gods of the Blood: Race, Ethnicity and the Pagan Revival. Shuttle ambivalently between whiteness and ethnicity. Tomorrow is Columbus Day in the United States. Like many other countries in "the Americas," we still mark this day, officially and otherwise. Celebrations of the efforts of Columbus usually erase the horrors of what he and his men did to indigenous peoples, thereby erasing as well the indigenous peoples themselves.

If the grand jury investigating the white-on-black violence during the 1919 race riot in Chicago is to be believed, Irish American gangs played a central role in attempting to extend the bloodshed.
Members of Ragen's Colts, one of the leading gangs, disguised themselves in blackface in order to set fire to Polish and Lithuanian neighborhoods in the Back of the Yards area. Their hope was to draw the immigrant population into bloody reprisals against African Americans. Two years later, Ragen's Colts again mounted the barricades, hanging in effigy a Ku Klux Klansman in the opening salvo of a successful campaign to isolate and drive from Chicago an organization known for violence against southern African Americans, but now focused on Roman Catholics and Jews as threats to American culture and society. In that incarnation, the Colts battled the forces of intolerance. Thus Ragen's Colts symbolized the bizarre extremes of racial intolerance and terror in early-twentieth-century Chicago. Hollywood whiteness and stereotypes - Race and Ethnicity. Many films that do not seem to address issues of race or ethnicity are in fact doing the work of defining and fortifying such categories.
Richard Dyer has argued that "whiteness" is a category that seems invisible because it gives the impression of being nothing; the power and domination of images of whiteness on screen are in the appearance of pervasive normality. Scholars studying these representations ask what has to be suppressed and what has to be controlled in production in order to make such images seem effortless and natural. Dyer has argued that if "blackness" in Hollywood studio films represents physical expressiveness, emotion, sexuality, and proximity to nature, then "whiteness" signifies the opposite through controlled, cerebral, even deathlike images.

Bleach in the Rainbow: Latin Ethnicity and Preference for Whiten. GRAND OL' PAGAN: What Does the Republican 'Heathen' Running for. Conservative.
Republican. Pagan? It was an odd news story that briefly upended what should have been a sleepy City Council race in Bayside: the Queens Tribune reported that a conservative Republican was running a strong race in the 19th district and had a chance to win in the overwhelmingly Democratic city. But this was a conservative Republican with a difference: Dan Halloran is the spiritual leader of a local pagan group that worships Norse gods. Although the Tribune's story had no hint of derision for Halloran's religious affiliation, the newspaper was immediately attacked for its perceived ties to Halloran's Democratic opponent. Alternative Right. The Separation of Race and State?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) -
NAAQS Implementation
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and (at much higher levels) poisonous gas, formed when carbon in fuels is not burned completely. It is a product of motor vehicle exhaust, which contributes about 60 percent of all CO emissions nationwide. High concentrations of CO generally occur in areas with heavy traffic congestion. In cities, as much as 95 percent of all CO emissions may emanate from automobile exhaust. Other sources of CO emissions include industrial processes such as carbon black manufacturing, non-transportation fuel combustion, and natural sources such as wildfires. Woodstoves, cooking, cigarette smoke, and space heating are sources of CO in indoor environments. Peak CO concentrations typically occur during the colder months of the year when CO automotive emissions are greater and nighttime inversion conditions are more frequent.
