With the additional bump in power, the Chevrolet Cruze is now more user-friendly to own and drive
When you first lay your eyes on the new Cruze, you might find it difficult to differentiate it from the old Cruze. Not surprising as, Chevrolet has not made any changes to the car's styling and has only concentrated on the inside. The Cruze has been given a substantial bump in power and now produces 164bhp with the torque swelling to a meaty 38.7kgm. The primary focus of the engine tweak has been to improve driveability, refinement and fuel efficiency. As a bonus, the Cruze also gets a new six-speed manual gearbox in comparison to the five-speed unit that does duty in the old car.
Although still a 2.0 litre, the new engine has a strengthened block to take the extra power and torque, and a completely redesigned cylinder head to incorporate a chain-driven DOHC valve-train as against the rubber-belt-driven one on the previous car. The air intake, which used to sit far from the inlet manifold, has now been moved closer to improve airflow and help reduce turbo lag. The common-rail system has also been upgraded and runs at a much higher 1800bar (against 1600bar in the old car) with seven injections per power stroke compared to five on the old motor. Chevrolet has also employed a dual-mass flywheel to reduce engine vibrations.
Our data acquisition equipment reveals that the new Cruze pips the old model by half a second in the 20-80kph third-gear slog, while in the 40-100kph run in fourth gear, it's quicker by a substantial one and a half seconds. It's only in flat-out acceleration that that the old Cruze is still quicker. The new model does the dash to 100kph in 10.22sec, where the old car managed to duck below the 10-second barrier (9.64sec), and at 160kph the new model is a good two seconds behind.
The engine feels much more responsive at low revs and pulls cleanly from even below 2000rpm, a point at which the old car was still asleep. This, along with the light clutch, make the Cruze a much more city-friendly car. You do find yourself swapping second- and third-gear cogs more frequently because there is quite a gap between the ratios, but if you're not in a hurry, the torquey nature of the engine allows you to trundle along in third gear too.
On the highway, the new engine with its tall gearing comes into its own to make the Cruze a superb cruiser. In sixth gear at 100kph the engine, turning over at a lazy 1700rpm, is barely audible and the surplus of power makes long-distance driving quite effortless. However, the steering doesn't weigh up in a linear manner when you turn into corners, and the grip and body control are reasonable until you push it hard enough, making you realise that the Cruze is more comfortable out on the expressway than it is on the ghats.
The six-speed auto complements the Cruze's new engine too, resulting in acceleration that is far more linear than before. Upshifts are relatively quick and make the acceleration seem all the more effortless. That said, it isn't particularly engaging — it is still slow to respond to sharp throttle inputs and is sluggish when you want a quick kickdown.
To help improve fuel economy, the gearbox has been programmed to upshift at the earliest as well, so you sometimes get upshifts when you don't want them. Shifting the lever to 'tiptronic' mode makes it hang on to the selected ratio until you ask for a shift. The Cruze auto is at its best when you're cruising or when you're in thick traffic.
Besides a raft of changes made to the powertrain, the Cruze remains largely unchanged in other departments. This means that the new Cruze is still some way off the fit and finish that its German rivals boast of.
The manual Cruze returned a decent 10.8kpl in the city and 15.7kpl on the highway as compared to the 10.3kpl and 14.8kpl for the old car. The automatic Cruze returned 9.8kpl and 15.3kpl for city and highway cycles respectively.
The Cruze has always been a powerful car, but now with the additional bump in power, the Cruze is more user-friendly to own and drive. The other mechanicals have been carried over from the previous car, and hence the ride and handling are good enough to ensure a smooth day-to-day drive. With prices starting at Rs. 13.85 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi), it is ahead of its rivals in terms of value for money.

Gears of Whores is a real thing and is utterly dismaying"Finally, porn for the XXX-treme gamer in you!" Not my words, but the words of GearsOfWhores.com, a new Web site dedicated to gamer porn. Of course, by gamer porn I mean, "low budget porn stars doing their normal sex but wearing headsets while they take one up the arse." For a nice example of the kind of gamer this site is appealing to, look no further than the first featured video, starring Roxxxy Lee. That's too many XXX's in one name, but regardless, here's what Ms. Lee has to say about her recent gaming session: That's basically all you need to know. A comical man in a Gears of War T-shirt has lots of sex with females of dubious attraction and even more questionable skill with a controller. If that's not what our ancestors fought and died for, then I don't know what to believe in anymore. Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

But Jenne isn't stepping up in the case of Frank Lee Smith, who, if it's possible, was more deeply wronged by the Broward Sheriff's Office than Townsend. Although Townsend went free last month, Smith died in prison last year. BSO investigators concocted a case against Smith in 1985 for the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl named Shandra Whitehead. Sentenced to death in 1986, Smith spent 14 years on Death Row, where family members say he lost his mind. For much of that time, judges refused his lawyers' efforts to have DNA tests done on the evidence. The tests, which were completed only after Smith's death from cancer, proved he was innocent of the crime. Another man, rapist and serial killer Eddie Lee Mosley, murdered Shandra, the tests found.
Since Smith's posthumous vindication, his family hasn't heard a word from Jenne or any other BSO official. Smith's relatives spent years railing against the justice system. They knew he couldn't have done it because his aunt, Bertha Mae Irving, and a few of his cousins were with him the night of the murder. But nobody -- not BSO detectives, prosecutors, or jurors -- believed Smith's family. Irving watched helplessly as they sentenced her nephew to the electric chair. "Why don't they apologize?" asks Irving, who grew up with Smith. "They said they were sorry to the other man; why can't they say they are sorry to us?"
Jenne is silent on the issue. He refused to comment about it to New Times. But his spokeswoman, Cheryl Stopnick, offers this explanation for the sheriff's apparent omission of contrition: "Smith would have died in prison anyway, just not on Death Row," she says. "He was found carrying a concealed weapon, and that was a violation of parole that would have landed him in prison anyway. Frank Lee Smith would not have walked out of jail as a free man like Jerry Frank Townsend."
No harm, no foul.
Stopnick isn't the only government official to use such reasoning. Representatives of the Florida Attorney General's office, headed by long-time Jenne ally Bob Butterworth, have voiced the same opinion, as have state prosecutors and Gov. Jeb Bush's office and general counsel. But some close to the Smith case say the contention is a lie to shield officials from accountability. "It's a blatant attempt to cover up a terrible, terrible tragedy," says Jeff Walsh, a private investigator who spent years trying to prove Smith was innocent. "Jenne owes this man's family an apology, and his failure to do so is pure arrogance."
On April 18, 1985, a case of mistaken identity and some very aggressive police work landed Smith behind bars. Acting on a tip that Smith matched the description of a suspect in Shandra's murder, BSO Lt. Philip McCann found Smith in the front yard of his northwest Fort Lauderdale home. McCann drew his gun on the suspect and cuffed him on the ground.
Deputies, however, did not immediately arrest Smith for the murder (which had occurred four days earlier), because there wasn't probable cause. McCann instead charged him with carrying a concealed weapon. The lieutenant wrote in his arrest report that Smith had a knife with a seven-inch blade hidden in his waistband, under his shirt.
What McCann didn't note was that, at the time of his arrest, Smith was with his aunt and her young children, and that they were preparing to go fishing. The knife, says Irving, was for cutting bait and didn't even belong to Smith. Fishing poles, sinkers, and buckets were also present in the yard. Irving, who watched as McCann aimed his gun at her nephew's head, is adamant the knife wasn't concealed but was visible jutting from his front pocket.
Andrew Washor, Smith's trial attorney, says he considered the arrest bogus from the beginning. Smith, Washor posits, was a perfect fall guy for the crime. Convicted in 1966 for a murder he committed during a robbery, Smith was on parole at the time. "It was basically B.S.," says Washor. "They needed a reason to bring him in for questioning, and the knife was it."
Neither Smith nor his lawyers ever challenged the weapons charge in court, however. Instead it was virtually forgotten. In May 1986, about four months after he was sentenced to death, Smith, with no media attention, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for the knife and was sentenced to 30 days in jail, a meaningless penalty, because he was already on Death Row.
Rory McMahon, who spent 17 years working as a parole officer, says that assuming Smith would have gone to prison for a fishing knife he was carrying in his own yard is preposterous. "If it had been found out he was falsely arrested for the murder, [prosecutors] would have dismissed the weapons charge in return for him not suing the sheriff's office," says McMahon, now a private investigator working in Fort Lauderdale. "That's what would have happened in a real-life case."

Is it farther or further?
oldest and most popular of the tricks traditionally performed by a conjurer. To begin the trick, the performer places a bead or ball (often a pea) under one of three inverted cups (or half-shells). As the cups are rearranged on a flat surface, the ball is made to "jump" invisibly from one cup to another, or to "multiply." The basis for the illusion is a secret additional ball that, by skilled manipulation, is put under one cup while the known ball is removed as secretly from another cup. The manipulative work is aided by the distracting conversation, or patter, of the conjurer.

About Klein Cutlery
Originally founded in 1952 under the name Expert Cutlery, this growing manufacturer of scissors and shears initially employed five men who turned out approximately 600 pair of shears per week.

Testimonials from some of our clients
Heirloom Oriental Rug Cleaning Ltd. is pleased to be offering rug-washing equipment. The wringers can be used in conjunction with hand washing as well as machine washing. The benefits of using a wringer include reduced drying time and less chance of bleeding. Rugs enter the wringer completely saturated but after being wrung out they do not even drip after hanging them up. Also less detailing after drying, a reduction in utilities such as heating and electricity used to run fans and de-hu's. All of these contribute to a reduction in costs. We also build drying towers for hanging area rugs up after cleaning for assisted drying. We have several basic units and can build a custom tower to your requirements.

But, drawing upon the lessons of history, I would suggest a third way: creating a mechanism to more effectively empower the newly-elected Iraqi government, thereby allowing gradual but permanent U.S. troop reductions.
At the close of World War II, after driving Japanese forces from the Philippines with the help of the Filipino resistance, the U.S. military found itself in complete control of that country. In the absence of a stable Philippine government, the U.S. military assumed responsibility for all basic government services.
While U.S. policy at the time strongly supported Filipino independence, the U.S. military had no choice but to temporarily exercise control under the fragile circumstances. Clearly, that situation could not endure indefinitely, and what the Congress and the Roosevelt Administration, and later the Truman Administration, did next was instructive.
In 1944, the Congress passed and President Roosevelt signed the Filipino Rehabilitation Act (P.L. 381), which created a national commission, comprised of three appointees each from the White House, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Their mission was to plan, coordinate, and oversee the transition of government operations from the U.S. military to the nascent Filipino government.
There are certainly arguable differences between the Philippines in 1944 and Iraq in 2006. However, after five visits to Iraq and dozens of meetings with General George Casey and top generals and officers in the field, as well as Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, I believe the critical weakness in our current strategy is this persistent inability to empower the new Iraqi government.
With this in mind, I recently drafted and filed "The Iraq Transition Act of 2006," H.R. 5716. Drawing from the Philippines model, I have proposed the establishment of a national bipartisan commission comprised of appointees from the White House, U.S. Senate and U.S. House, whose specific and targeted purpose would be "to help facilitate an orderly, deliberate, and expeditious transition from U.S. military control to Iraqi civilian control."
It is important to remember that the transition to civilian control in Iraq is truly a political process. And while I have many times witnessed the excellence with which our military has performed in Iraq, I also believe it is a strategic disservice to the military for us to add the burden of political reconciliation to the massive security and reconstruction missions that they are now shouldering.
Simply put, the newly-created Commission on Iraqi Transition would be held directly responsible for working with the military leadership and Department of State to accomplish the transition to Iraqi civilian control and to regularly report its progress to the Congress, the President and the American people.
While this approach may not satisfy the "stay the course" advocates or those who would prefer to announce a date certain for withdrawal, I believe it offers a responsible and workable plan for two important reasons. Firstly, it introduces a level of direct accountability to the political transition process that does not now exist and has made measuring progress extremely difficult. And secondly, it has precedent and success to support it and may offer the best opportunity for the earliest withdrawal of U.S. forces, while leaving the Iraqi people with the greatest chance for preserving their newly-found democracy.

Commissioners Meet at Legislative Breakfast
LEWISBURG– The joint legislative breakfast meeting was held Friday morning at the Country Cupboard in Lewisburg. County Commissioners from Union, Snyder, and Northumberland Counties spoke during the meeting. Each commissioner spoke about the problems their county faces with overcrowding of prisons and ways they are combating this problem.
Snyder County Commissioner Joseph Kantz talked about a program created last year to help non-violent offenders, saying, "When nonviolent criminals are prosecuted, community service ours can be handed out as a punishment. This program allows nonviolent offenders to work off a portion of their debt to society by helping local Governments and nonprofit organizations in our back yard."
Northumberland County Commissioner, Rick Shoch thanked the other county commissioners for their support in fixing the overcrowding in county prisons. Shoch said, "Thank you to the commissioners from the neighboring counties for having reached out to us. My hope is that we can reciprocate, reach out to you, and learn from you. Also, for both of us to have the courage to enter into some partnerships with things such as regionalized prisons."
Union County Commissioner, Preston Boop spoke about the success of the treatment court of Union and Snyder County. PPL sponsored the meeting and Teri MacBride, Susquehanna Valley Regional Affairs Director, spoke on behalf of PPL. The next joint legislative breakfast will be held on September 20, 2013, sponsored by the Greater Susquehanna Valley and Central Pennsylvania Chambers of Commerce. (Sarah Lagerman)

Concierge.com's insider take:
Abutting the convention center, this reclaimed industrial area crackles with energy and is home to hip restaurants and contemporary art galleries. Repurposed warehouse space has given birth to a mini museum district. The newly constructed Ogden Museum of Southern Art is its showpiece; affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, the Ogden has the largest collection of Southern art in the world, dating from the 1730s to today (925 Camp St.; 504-539-9600; www.ogdenmuseum.org). Across the street is the comprehensive National D-Day Museum, founded by the late historian Stephen E. Ambrose as "America's National World War II Museum" (945 Magazine St.; 504-527-6012; www.ddaymuseum.org). The cavernous Contemporary Arts Center hosts a hodgepodge of events, including dance, theater, and music (900 Camp St.; 504-210-0224; www.cacno.org).

Last-Minute Valentine's Day: Literally the Least You Can Do for the One You Love
You want to be romantic. You want to give the love of your life something special, make her day. But you're kind of an idiot. You don't plan ahead and you're not exactly the most thoughtful guy on the planet. Plus, you're cheap. Don't show her this if you want to keep her expectations low.
Well, you're in luck, bozo. There are plenty of places to pick up some crap for her before it's too late. No one understands why she keeps you around. Even she probably doesn't fully get it. This is your chance to remind her that, sure, you're a jackass, but you're a jackass who got her something for Valentine's Day...against all odds.
Here are some fast, cheap options that might actually not be the dumbest thing you ever bought her, but close.

Midtown Madness demo

"It just takes up to much"
Microsoft Midtown Madness is a game that takes up extreme amounts of computing power. The graphics are poor, the performance is terrible. You don't need a Pentium 166, it's more like a Athlon 700 to get a "normal" FPS.

Targeting 802.11n at the enterprise
Siemens released its line of 802.11n product line today, joining�a growing number of wireless LAN vendors — which includes Cisco Systems, Meru Networks,�Aruba, Trapeze, Colubris and Ruckus Wireless — that are designing high-capacity wireless LAN gear for the enterprise. There seems to be little doubt that 802.11n will eventually displace its a, b and g predecessors (IT research firm The Burton Group believes that 802.11n will even replace wired Ethernet LANs in the next two years). The question is whether the enterprises need them, or can even support them, today. more

Prot Warrior AoE
» Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:01 am
My AoE tanking abilities are not bad, but some times get out of hand, and lose threat. I keep TC and SW on CD, and spam cleave on targets. If there are more than three targets I click around and cleave while watching Omen to see if I am losing threat on that target. It works pretty well unless its like tanking whelps on Ony.
So I do not know about others warriors but I think warriors should get an Area of effect that stays on the ground for a certain period of time(Like Pally's consecration or a DK's Death and Decay). Because, if I am tanking something like whelps and another pack of them come out and TC and SW are on CD,who has aggro is screwed unless I pop my AoE taunt that's on a 10 min CD.
Re: Prot Warrior AoE
» Tue Nov 03, 2009 2:13 pm
You are very much correct; Warrior AOE Tanking abilities are below par.
Only thing I can say is have a Paladin or Death Knight tank the adds in Ony, that's what I tend to have, and then all you would need to do is help out at the beginning of phase 2, where the first mass of whelps spawn.
If the guild you are in only has warrior tanks or you are the only one with the capacity to tank the adds, here is a helpful tip: make sure that the dps in your group does not touch the adds, let everyone stack in the center. Toss a thunderclap, then immediately a shockwave, stunning the whelps and letting the dps take them down quite a bit on 10 man, then toss out your AOE taunt that should have a 3 minute cooldown, not a 10 minute one. This should keep your agro long enough for either your dps to completely down the whelps, or for your shockwave to be up to rinse and repeat.
Another way to grab more agro on the mobs is have a rogue Tricks of the Trade you and fan of knives all of the whelps.
I hope this helps!

I know what you mean, some times it right pain to get aggro on all them whelps, if they did add a aoe on the ground ability for warriors then they would need to do it also for druid tanks, so all 4 tanking classes have one?

Also having Hunters toss a misdirect onto you if any whelps are getting out of your area helps. Our guild has a hunter thats great at getting whelps off healers and DPS by doing that rather then just sticking 100% on Ony for phase two, he tosses a freeze trap in front of a healer and keeps an eye on the whelps in his half of the room and misdirects them back to the tank. If you have a pally or DK it usually isnt an issue, but limited AOE is a problem for me on my Prot Warrior as well in that fight. IF everyone runs back to the middle after deep breath its usually a good shot, but deep breath can come at the worst time sometimes, so its also a little luck.

there are also other aoe abilities to take into account when to pop sheild block to increase your damage sheild on the whelps also using demo shout, in the rotation will greatly increase your chances of keeping aggro. this is just my 2 cent i glyph into cleaving, blocking, and sunder armor for my major glyphs. the higher your sheild block the higher your damge sheild is going to hit for which is 20% of your block when fully specc'd given that your running mates give you a 2 count to get the whelps to the middle, I pull em with demo shout then get em to the middle with the other tank, then pop sheild block, sheild slam one of them(if glyphed for the extra 10% block) they will all be hitting you grabbing your own aggro on top of ret auro if its up. then TC then back up a bit SW cleave, demo shout again, rinse and repeat you shouldnt have a problem i find alot of warrior tanks forget about demo shout and how much aggro it puts out on its own. Hope this has been helpful.

About the AoE tanking... if you are rolling the bleed spec, then you are going to have a natural dot on all the mobs after your initial TC and SW attacks which can be equated out to being the same as a Pally's consecrate or Dk's DnD
i usual run with a couple different glyphs in my bags (can be costly, but i hate being ineffective), when i run heroics i use the glyphs for Shockwave, Blocking, and Cleave... this allows me to have a tighter rotation for AoE pulls and i never lose aggro.

Antunez says he called Rodriguez-Chomat the next morning and announced that he had no intention of accepting a position on the zoning appeals board, no matter what Bruce Kaplan might have said, and that Rodriguez-Chomat should tell Kaplan the committeeman's race was still on.
Reached by telephone in La Paz, Bolivia, Kaplan spoke highly of Antunez. "It's a shame that two friends are running against each other," Kaplan observes. "[Antunez is] somebody we've tried to propel politically. I hope that we can bring Emiliano further along in the party." The commissioner acknowledges that he met twice with Antunez on August 11, and says he did attempt to convince his would-be opponent to step down for the good of the GOP. Kaplan, however, vehemently denies offering any sort of deal in exchange for cooperation. "That's bullshit," he says. "Not only is that bullshit, that's illegal."
Rodriguez-Chomat confirms that he received an August 12 phone call from Antunez but says he doesn't clearly recall what was discussed. "Emiliano seemed to be upset," Rodriguez-Chomat remembers. "Not upset with me, but just in general. He talked to me about some things, but nothing specific." Kaplan, he adds, has neither asked him to resign nor raised the possibility of Antunez replacing him on the zoning appeals board: "Bruce has not said a word to me about that."
In the end Kaplan and Antunez may be the only two people who know precisely what took place on the night of August 11. But Friday's election will yield an undisputable -- and very public -- certainty: One of the two candidates will emerge as a Republican Party committeeman.
Why might Kaplan be interested in a low-level GOP post? One of the party's rules might provide a hint: In order to attain a higher position within the local party organization -- such as the county chairmanship, for instance -- one must first serve as a committeeman.
Mary Ellen Miller, the current county chairman, says she's heard rumors that Kaplan is aiming for her job. "He even asked me if I would be seeking re-election in December," Miller recalls. (She says she has not made up her mind whether she'll run.)
"My goal right now is to be a committeeman and to help our chairman," asserts Kaplan, quickly adding that he has been approached about the chairmanship. "A lot of people say that that would be a good idea, but that's in the future," he remarks.
Meanwhile his supporters have been busy polling local committeemen to gauge their candidate's chances in the upcoming contest. While the commissioner says he doesn't know who organized the survey, he claims the results show him beating Emiliano Antunez by a two-to-one margin.
Kaplan is relatively new to Dade County Republican politics, and to the party itself. A registered Democrat until a few years ago, he even ran for office in New York as a Democrat. (He lost.) "I want to get more active in the party, to make it more meaningful than perhaps it has been over the last few years," the commissioner explains. "I think right now it's a moribund party. If I can help energize it, that is something I'm happy to do."
He has certainly succeeded in energizing debate. "People are very upset, very, very upset," says one member of the party's executive committee. "You don't start telling members that have been there for years that you're going to walk in and take over the party. You don't do that. He must have some major plans in the works."
Some speculate Kaplan intends to gain the county chairmanship as a way of amassing a power base for a run at the Dade mayor's seat in 1996, much in the same way Jeb Bush used the post to build support for his current bid for governor. "A lot of people have been talking about a lot of stuff," Kaplan notes dismissively. "I don't want to be the mayor of Dade County. I want to be a commissioner."
And, of course, a committeeman.

POSTED: Thursday, August 11, 2011 - 1:33pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - 11:21pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (EBRSO) — East Baton Rouge Sheriff's detectives are looking for a man that attempted to rob Collette's Mobil gas station at 1640 O'Neal Lane at approximately 5:30 this morning.
According to reports, the man entered the store with a knife and demanded money. The clerk refused to give the man money, and the man fled on foot. A white Chevrolet HHR was observed parked near the store at the time of the attempted robbery. The clerk followed the vehicle as it fled until it exited the Interstate at Milllerville.
The suspect is described as a white male, 5'9" to 5'10" in height, with a slim build. He was wearing a gray hoodie jacket and dark colored ski mask with dark pants.
Anyone with information concerning this incident or the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office at (225) 389-5000. Crime Stoppers is also offering a cash reward for anyone with information leading to the arrest of those responsible. Contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at (225) 344- STOP or (225) 344-7867.

Probably the worse time to be a staffer. Can't imagine what it must be like for the recent college graduates answering the phones in Senator Menendez's office.
Stories breaking in multiple outlets. The Miami Herald has the lead story:
FBI agents late Tuesday night raided the West Palm Beach business of an eye doctor suspected of providing free trips and even underage Dominican Republic prostitutes to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. — who has denied what he calls the "fallacious allegations."
When you're an elected official, there's just certain words you don't want running in the same sentence as your own name. Words like "underage" and "prostitute" for instance.
Of course, these times of strife can also cause staff to rise to the occasion, working diligently to protect the Boss from bad press.
Or not.
Back in 2007, Senator Larry Craig faced his own sex scandal when Roll Call reported that a Minneapolis airport plain clothes officer "investigating lewd conduct complaints in a men's public restroom" arrested the Senator. The restroom was apparently a well-known cruising spot for gay men.
His staff tripped over themselves trying to beat back the press:
A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a "he said/he said misunderstanding."

User talk:Krik
I can see that the changes going on are probably necessary for other language wikiquotes to be developed, but the number and types of broken links is disconcerting.
I don't wish to interrupt too much with whatever is being done, because I don't have much of a clue as to why things are proceeding as they are. I can see major restructuring is going on, which has broken many of the links that had existed within wikiquote, and this is problem enough, but why have all the links to "wikipedia:en:" been broken as well? They show up now as links to "Wikipedia:En:" without any existing target. What should a proper link to the english Wikipedia now be? Where is information available of what changes are occuring? I am curious, and a bit puzzled. ~ Kalki 12:50, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I'm Not sure why the Wikipedia links have been broken either, but it seems that English Wikipedia articles can still be linked with "w:en", Eg w:en:Wikiquote.

Starting Country Market, Any Ideas?
I attend weekly a market in the city which is about 45 mins away but I am tinkering with the idea of reviving a market that is 15 minuts in the opposite direction although it is in a rural area. Located in a community of 16 people it would cater to the surrounding area, a few thousand people max. Instead if keeping it just a farmers market I'd like to open it up to more vendors as there is such a limited number of farmers in the area. Any ideas?
Our Farmer's Market (Blue Hill, ME) serves a peninsula with a population of about 5,000, plus summer visitors. We have about 6 farmers and a mix of about a dozen bakers and craftspeople.
Are you thinking of a weekly market (what we do) or a seasonally-full-time co-operatively run farm stand (we had one, but it folded due to personality issues)?
Starting a new venture, I think it is best to focus on offering things people want _that they can't get anywhere else_. Maybe no store within 50 miles will buy/sell arugula, but if there are 10 people in town who will buy a bunch a week, then that is 20 bucks a week for somebody's market stand. Another ten ideas like that and it looks worth doing.
I'm working on getting one started in our county.
The Mayor said he will get the grant money and the building for us and we are responsible for making a go of it.
I am at the petition stage right now. The city council said 'No' because there are two produce stands locally.
Well, I got them to sign the petition as vendors too!
So, as it is we are getting quite a few people interested in it.
The deadline for the grants is in Oct. So it will be about 2006 before we begin to see anything out of it.
I would have doubts about the viability, unless you have a lot of summer people; that's an awfully small population to support it - rather along the lines of the community that survived by taking in each-others' laundry, it has to stop somewhere! But, if you have enough diversity, and quality, with people commited to it, so they keep coming week-by-week, both as vendors and as buyers, then you should do well. Just try to limit the number of people (and things) if anyone should want to bring things they have bought, and not things they have made, to sell; maybe put it in the by-laws or agreement that they sign to join?
There is a great book for ideas. "The New Farmer's Market". A good farmers market isn't just produce. It is flowers, herbs, added value products, cottage industry crafts, fresh eats, entertainment, festival days, educating the public, ect.
Go for it! If you have the gumption and the committment and can get people excited about it don't let anybody stop you.
With the right mix, you can get a great market going.

Arlington High Senior Prank Delights the Administration. Which Sort of Defeats the Whole Purpose.
Arlington - Even school administrators didn't let the air out of the Arlington High School senior prank Friday. At least not right away. Students from the Class of 2012 used 3,300 balloons to fill an entire staircase at the school Friday, and posted a sign saying "No entry, wild balloon habitat," according to an email bulletin from Arlington High School Principal Mary Villano Monday… When school administrators found the balloon-blocked doors Friday morning, they left the display for an hour so other students and staff could see, Villano said in her newsletter. "It was quite a spectacle and started the day off with lots of laughs and excitement," said Villano. Villano said administrators at the school enjoyed the prank because it was done in good taste and did not have any negative impact on the school day. After an hour, the balloons were popped to clear the stairway for safety purposes, according to the principal's newsletter. "I congratulate our senior pranksters who put careful thought into doing something fun that did no harm and did not disrupt the school day," Villano said.
Fail. In the words of Clark Griswold's mother-in-law, I hope you kids see what a tremendous waste of resources this was. The first rule of school pranks is that if they don't chap the ass of the administration… get them all hacked off, launch investigations, call emergency assemblies and threaten disciplinary actions… then there's no point in doing it. If they actually enjoy it, take pictures and leave it up for others to see, then it's not a prank at all. It's barely a shenanigan. And more a stunt. It's like listening to music your parents like; what's the point? The balloon stunt should only be pulled on someone who reacts like Ryan in one of Barstool's all time favorite videos. Look at him being serious! Now this is the guy you pull the balloon prank on:

As parents we all want to do the best for our children. When we hear stories on the news, read articles on the Internet and listen to what other parents report on what they are doing, it is easy to doubt our own path with our children – to wonder if we are doing enough or doing the right things.
Through my reading of the research on child development and learning and through my experience with my own and other children, I know that we should relax. That doesn't mean doing nothing – it means letting children learn and discover naturally with our guidance and the guidance of their teachers.
The research on language development shows that babies and toddlers are amazing learners. Children learn language from conversations, from having us ask questions and building and expanding on their answers. One study showed that teachers and caregivers that talk more and ask more questions to toddlers resulted in 3 year olds that knew more letters, shapes and colors.
Many parents have anxiety that playing is not learning. But we should remember that in preschool age children, learning should be fun – a natural extension of their curiosity. If we take the time to play with and talk to our children, the learning will follow.
Researchers have looked at the outcomes of children from "academic" preschools that focused on memorization and worksheets and children from "play and discovery" preschools. By the time they were in first grade no short or long term advantage was seen in the children from the academic preschools in terms of academic achievements or intellectual skills. However, the children from the "play and discovery" preschools were less anxious and more creative.
My own anecdotal experience shows at least the first part of the study to hold true. I have a child in second grade and one in Kindergarten. Among their classmates are graduates from play-based preschool as well as children from other more "academic" preschools. It is impossible to tell which child went to which preschool based on the reading and writing skills that I have observed.
Research on emerging literacy shows that the ability to tell a story correlates with the ability to read. To learn to read children must have a large vocabulary, must be able to tell a story and must have phonological awareness–the ability to hear letter sounds.
To prepare our children to read we should be engaging them in conversations and asking them questions. We should be reading to them and asking them to tell us stories – even the story of what they have done that day. We can play verbal word games with them to help them hear sounds.
I cannot imagine a better place for a child to experience this perfect storm of learning than while at play. While playing they listen to, act out and create their own stories and plays. This is teaching emerging literacy. At play they learn sounds and rhythm in music. This is the beginning of phonological awareness. At play they are outside exploring nature and are learning to create with arts and crafts. This is allowing learning to be fun.

….sadly, I started this journey as a daily poster, now it is hard to get in one a month. Maybe a New Year's resolution….
On the last Saturday of November we were graciously invited to share Thanksgiving with the Linton Family and some of their friends. It was wonderful! Good food, conversation…..lots of grappo….lots! The gravy was gooooood! Lots of talk of cyclocross vs. mt. biking…..(after celebrating Thanksgiving twice this year, we need to just get on any bike and not stop!!)
George got to celebrate his birthday twice this year….we went to Texas Long Horn for dinner on his actual birth day…..then home for gifts and cake!
Then the super fun birthday with his Sweden friends!! We took them to Laserfortet, and they played a puzzle adventure game, advancing to new rooms as they solve the problems. Then they enjoyed a lunch of pancakes, and George made sure we had maple syrup to share with his friends.
Gregs friend and colleague from USA came to Sweden and we enjoyed having him for dinner. Then we all went to the Christmas Markets in Gamla Stan together.
ISSR, George and Maddy's school held a Winter Bizarre, and Concert. Maddy and George each had a solo performance singing.
Our holiday craftiness.
And in the spirit of giving, our daughter Maddy surprised us with breakfast in bed last Saturday (December 14, 2013.)
