Reducing the Cost of Wrapping Gifts

My Story: Special Gift Wrap
Gift Bags for Less Fun, Inexpensive Gift Wrap |
Here's an all too common scenario: You've just picked up your kid from soccer practice and find yourself running to the store to buy a birthday present for a party that takes place in an hour. If this sounds familiar, then you are probably spending too much on gift wrap. A gift bag, tissue paper, and a card can easily add $5 to the price of a gift, only to be thrown away as soon as the present is opened. Save yourself some time and deposit $5 in the trash now.
The first step to correcting this expensive habit is to break away from last minute purchases. A little forward thinking and creativity can mean big savings on gift wrap. Involve your kids in the process, and you will be teaching them a big lesson on savings. Stretch out a piece of butcher paper on the kitchen table and let your little Picasso go to work designing wrapping paper for their friend's present. This will mean big savings for you and your child will be proud to bring his or her friend a present wrapped in paper that he or she made.
If you need something a little more sophisticated for your own friends, try some of these thrifty solutions. Snatch up rolls of wall paper at thrift stores and yard sales to be used in place of expensive wrapping paper. Wallpaper is just as pretty as wrapping paper and can be purchased secondhand at a fraction of the price. Wallpaper rolls also contain a lot more paper per roll, translating into even more savings for you. Try this solution and you will find that a 10-cent roll of wallpaper will go a long way towards cutting gift wrap costs.
Kraft paper is another great cost-saving solution. Rolls can be purchased at craft stores and shipping centers at fairly low prices. Left as is or decorated with stamps, you can create the same handmade looks seen in home decorating magazines. For the veteran thriftster, brown paper grocery bags can be used to create the same look at no cost to you. Get in the habit of asking for paper bags when you check-out, and you will always have gift wrap on hand.
Tissue paper is another costly and unnecessary purchase. To create an attractive substitute, simply gather leftover scraps of wrapping paper and run them through a paper shredder. The resulting strips are perfect filler in gift bags. Construction paper also works well for this purpose and makes it easy to coordinate with the wrapping paper you have created.
Next time you receive a card in the mail, think twice before throwing it away. Cut out pretty images on the card's front to make instant gift tags for your presents. Since cards are printed on a heavy stock of paper and in pretty colors, you can also cut out blank areas of the card to create a gift tag that can be personalized with stamps, stickers or a special message.
As you begin to craft more and more of your own gift wrap, consider designating a closet to organize your supplies. You will be more motivated to make wrapping paper and gift tags in advance if you have a convenient place to store everything.

Dutch-process cocoa powders and chocolate liquors are treated at the nib, liquor, or powder stage. The treatment is frequently referred to as "Dutching" because the process, first applied by C.J. van Houten in the Netherlands, was introduced as "Dutch cocoa."

On Twitter, @rsoper72 (Randy Soper) wrote in response to our article suggesting 'Yodas' for big data: @FcwNow, what a bizarre thing for DCIO (Deputy CIO & CTO) Commerce to suggest. Isn't the idea to use tech to solve the data problem? If it's not there...
Frank Konkel responds: Misinterpreted the DCIO's remarks, you may have.
The overwhelming theme from Carahsoft's Government Big Data Forum and its several panel discussions was that technology is growing faster than our ability to harness, manage and glean insights from the data we're creating. It's also outpaced our ability to put together data-sharing policies that enhance information sharing between agencies that developed in an era where siloed data was the norm. I believe Kirit Amin, the DCIO of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was essentially saying that all the technology in the world doesn't do a bit of good if it isn't managed and operated intelligently.
Regarding big data, think of it this way: If a few visionary data ninjas – or Yodas -- across the public sector could champion big-data initiatives and publicize the benefits of say, combining Treasury department data with Census Bureau records, it might help educate agencies on the potentials out there and it might help drive policy changes, too.
(We recently answered another question from Soper. Read it here.)
A note from Online Managing Editor Michael Hardy: Some readers may be wondering why an article that so prominently referred to a popular pop-culture character didn't include a picture of that character, say, holding a light-saber or levitating Luke Skywalker's sunken X-Wing. The reason is that LucasFilm, now owned by Disney, controls the legal use of images from its films, and while pictures of Yoda are plentiful all over the Internet, we chose not to risk the empire striking back.

Wheelchair friendly holiday accommodation reviews
LAST EDITED ON 24-Oct-06 AT 12:08 PM (GMT) by australia (admin)
We found our first disabled holiday accommodation abroad by accident on the internet and took the risk, which turned out to be lucky. Our son Christopher is a disabled wheelchair user, and we now love to go on holiday, but were frightened for many years. While looking for our next break we have found an apartment that is "disabled friendly", but the bathroom doorway is too narrow for a wheelchair to fit through. We also found another that is perfect, were it not for the six steep steps leading up to the front door.
We are building up a free resource of disabled friendly accommodation that is only reviewed and recommended by a disabled person, family member or carer (No spin).
We need people to send information of where they have been and give us some feedback about them. If they have some photos that would be great as we all like to know what other places look like. Our aim is that many other people in the same situation will also benefit from all we can collect and show.
We are collecting this information at wheelyaccessible.co.uk which is non profit and independent.

Was wondering if you had compiled such a resource guide as you had mentioned. I know this was over a year ago now, so hoping you can help me. I am an advocate for a disabled man who is wanting to travel around Australia and wishes to know what are the best spots to go to to find disabled friendly hotels, tours and attractions.
Any suggestions would be welcomed!

I am in the exciting "brainstorming" phase of my vision to establish a fully accessible holiday destination for disabled people and their family or carer. Any ideas, suggestion or resources that you could suggest in planning this, my great adventure,would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,

Hi. We have been on many holidays with our son who is in a w/c. Travelling around Australia, experience (good and bad) has been, that we now pre-book at w/c accessible cabins in caravan/tourist parks before going on holidays, and always take along a suction type grab bar to use on the bathroom wall if necessary. Quite often grab bars are on the wrong side, wrong height/place. Having our own has come in very handy.
The cabins are generally great and always clean and plenty of room for a w/c. There are always people around on holidays, so opportunity for interaction for us all.
Hope this is helpful. Enjoy your holiday.

My husband, son and I have stayed at Coffs Harbour NSW at Aqua Villa Resort in their two bedroom unit which is purpose built. We have stayed twice. My son is in an electric wheelchair and this accommodation is great. The owners cannot do enough to help even with moving one of the beds to make more room for the hoist. They are also able to raise the bed if more height is needed for the hoist. (Not all hoists have the same height room). It is a short walk from a shopping centre so if the person in the chair is independent enough they can go across by themselves.
Cannot recommend this enough as I could not see how anyone could fault it.

nice forum guys, I have a brother who is disabled and he has constant problems finding accommodation, he stayed in a really nice place last year called barneys place, its a holiday home in the gold coast, he was really impressed as it had all the mod cons and a disabled access swimming pool. Also fully fitted out for disabled access via ramps, Have a look at the web site, its under disabled accommodation gold coast in google or directly http://www.barneys-place.com/

I just had the loveliest holiday and would like to share. It's in Barwon Heads Victoria Australia. Brand new luxury house designed for disabled friendly. Extra wide showers, shower chair provided by the owner as well as removable sturdy grab bars, non slip mats. Very wide doors too, wheelchair ramp and internal access by garage.
So hard to find quality accomodation I am partially disabled, what I loved most is being able to explore town and beach paved level walkway for miles.
The house is luxurious, you can really tell the owner is an interior designer.
Whilst I didn't need it, I thought it was really thoughtful to have a children's play room with toys games and bean bags. Web site is www.100hitchcock.net.au
Highly recommend this place

This looks absolutely stunning. Out of our price range unless we were able to have another family share the cost. Will definitely keep it in mind though if we ever get to Vic for holidays.
As you said it is really hard finding decent accessible accommodation.

Hi I first fell in love with Cyprus during a holiday in the late 1980s. I have been back many times since. My cousin and I have acquired this wonderful apartment in Peyia, Paphos, from which to stay to enjoy this beautiful, historic island. We have put in the time and effort to make the apartment really comfortable, and with the excellent amenities youll find your stay here ideal lets just say like a home away from home. We are hard-working British families who know only too well how important a well-earned holiday break is, which is why we have paid attention to detail and feel our apartment is very special. If you decide to book with us, enjoy!

BioCryst reports lower cash in hand; reiterates cash burn cut
- Lauren K. Ohnesorge
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Financial results are in for troubled Research Triangle Park-based BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: BCRX) — and cash reserves have dropped significantly.
For the year, revenues were reported at $26.3 million. Net loss for 2012 decreased to $39.1 million, and cash and investments totaled $37.1 million as of Dec. 31. That's a $20.6 million decrease from the $57.7 million balance at the end of 2011.
Revenues dropped to $4.1 million from $5.2 million in the last quarter, a reduction blamed on a dwindled collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services for the development of since terminated flu treatment peramivir.
The company reiterated its plans to reduce its operating cash burn by 30 to 40 percent and overall operating expenses by 40 to 60 percent in 2013. Officials added those reductions are to extend the company's cash runway to focus on its cardio drug, which will initiate Phase 1 by the end of the first quarter, and an antiviral.
The company did not have an update on its discussions with DHHS regarding peramivir's future.
BioCryst stock closed Friday at $1.38.

Central Oregon's dry, high desert climate is a bonus for people who enjoy being out of the rain, but it can also wreak havoc on our skin—especially the super-sensitive skin on our lips. In the winter skin becomes even drier, and people seek out a variety of lip balms to help keep a supple smile—but lipsticks and even some lip balms have been found to include unhealthy ingredients.
Wednesday, December 4, 2013 • 6:00 p.m.
Downtown Bend Library
Corrie Ann Bradley, a clinical herbalist and herbal educator, will show people how they can easily make natural, soothing lip balm at an event at the Downtown Bend Library on Wednesday, December 4, at 6:00 p.m. She will show people how they can make lip balm not only for themselves, but for friends and family as a gift. This session is part of the Library's "Know D.I.Y." month of activities, and is free and open to the public.
Corrie formally studied plant medicine at the California School of Herbal Studies as well as the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism. She has been teaching plant medicine classes and sustaining a clinical herbal practice for the past 4 years in Boulder and Durango Colorado.

Competition heating up at U17 Nationals
ORLANDO -- Pool play games began Sunday for 152 teams competing in the AAU Junior Boys' Basketball National Championship Tournament at Disney's Wide World of Sports. The teams were seeded into 38 pools, and after Monday night's games, the top two seeds in each pool have advanced to play in the Junior Boys' Division I Championship bracket. The third and fourth place finishers in each pool will compete in the Junior Boy's Division I Classic bracket.
The competition and margins of victory were much closer overall Monday than was the case with Sunday's games, since the higher seeds in each pool were matched. Now that teams are paired in bracket play, the action should be entertaining. The games will continue to get even better in these single-elimination playoffs.
The top pool included our pick as the No. 1 team, the Boo Williams All-Stars (Va.); Houston Hoops (Texas); Team Breakdown (Fla.); New York Gauchos; Birmingham Storm (Ala.); Memphis YOMCA (Tenn.); BABC (Mass.); Georgia Stars; Rising Stars Gold (Ill.); Birmingham Ice (Ala.); Richmond Squires (Va.); R.E.A.C.H. Legends (Mich.); Connecticut Basketball Club; Jacksonville Lee Bulls (Fla.); All Ohio Red; Charlotte Royals (N.C.); NE Maine; Georgia Ballers; Martin Brothers (Iowa); and Gold Coast, Fla. These are the No. 1 seeds known to us at this time.
Bracket play games will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The Division I championship games are on Friday, Aug. 1.
• The two teams in the 17-Under Super Showcase Gold Division championship game are not playing in this tournament. The champion Athlete's First team departed to play in a tournament in Las Vegas, and the Illinois Warriors are in Kansas City, Mo., for a tournament. The Super Showcase Silver Division champion Birmingham Ice, featuring stellar playing point guard Eric Bledsoe, won their pool, and will play a second place team on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
• The Boo Williams All-Stars appear to be on a roll. After close 54-48 win over the Smyrna Stars (Ga.), Boo Williams hammered the Louisiana Lightning 86-50, and the Renegades Black (Pa.) 79-63. Boo Williams' top players have continued to play at an exceptionally high level. This group includes 6-7 G/F Tristan Spurlock; 6-9 C/F DeShawn Painter (Florida); 6-5 G/F Steven Pledger (Oklahoma); 2008 player, 6-8 C/F Ricardo Ratliffe; 6-7 PF Marshawn Powell; 5-11 PG Jontel Evans (Virginia); and 2010 prospects, 6-4 PG Kendall Marshall (North Carolina); and 6-5 G/F Andre Dawkins (Duke). No other team in this tournament comes anywhere close to having that level of overall talent.
• Team Breakdown, the champions of the Reebok Tournament in Las Vegas, managed to win their pool despite having their top player, ESPN No. 3 rated, 6-3 2G Kenny Boynton for only part of their first game. He suffered an ankle sprain, and sat on the bench wearing an ice pack for their two other games. Hopefully, he will be ready for Team Breakdown's bracket game at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. In Boynton's absence, sensational 2010 player, 6-4 Brandon Knight has stepped it up, as has another 2010 standout, 6-1 PG Pe'Shon Howard, and rugged 6-8 inside power player, Keith Clanton. However, the real change has been the incredible performance by diminutive "magician", 5-5 PG Ray Taylor. Taylor has dazzled everyone in the Magic Kingdom, including the fans, scouts, and college coaches with his ballhandling wizardry and shooting skills. Could Taylor become another Muggsy Bogues?
• There are a number of very talented prospects from North Carolina participating in this event. They include South Carolina commit, 6-5 G/F Lakeem Jackson (Arden, N.C./Christ School), and 6-9 PF David Chadwick (Charlotte, N.C./Latin), both of whom were key players in the Charlotte Royals going 3-0 in their pool; 6-7 forward K. J. Sherrill (Mt. Ulla, N.C./West Rowan), playing for the Carolina Phenoms; 6-9 C Julius Brooks (Greensboro, N.C./Page), 6-0 PG Jarius Simms (High Point, N.C./Christian) and stellar 2010 prospect, 6-7 WF Reco McCarter (Goldsboro, N.C./Wayne Country Day), all of whom were instrumental in the NC Gaters Blue second place finish; athletic 6-5 G/F (Apex, N.C./Middle Creek), 6-4 2G Stan Okoye (Knightdale, N.C.) and 2010 prospect Josh Brooks (Garner, N.C.), all of whom helped the Garner Road Elite finish second in their pool; And Charlotte Nets standouts, 5-8 PG Shamel Atkins (Charlotte, N.C./United Faith) and 6-6 PF Aerris Smith (Charlotte, N.C./Butler).
Three players loaded with talent for the second place Carolina Celtics (S.C.) are Texas A&M commit, 6-6 WF Khris Middleton (Charleston, S.C./Porter Gaud), Clemson commit, 6-8 PF Devin Booker (Union, S.C.) and 6-7 P/WF Willis Hall (Charlotte, N.C./Christian).

Awesomenauts is coming to the PlayStation 4When the PS4 drops eventually, you'll have one more game to play on it -- Awesomenauts. Ronimo Games has just announced that Abstraction Games is handling the new version, as they are sticking to publishing duties. Another announcement is "possibly" coming next week. If you're still salty from the lack of updates on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions don't worry -- Ronimo says that all of the PC content will be included so far in the PS4 game, including the ability to purchase skins. Ronimo has also stated that they intend to keep this version consistently updated if this version is successful enough. While I can't say I'm super excited to play the game on the PS4 in particular, this is great news, because it at the very least confirms the continued support for Awesomenauts in general.

- Christmas Postcards - Instituto Mauá
Graphic Design and Photography
Two postcards created for Instituto de Artesanato Visconde de Mauá, a brazilian handcraft preservation institute. The theme was the brazilian (Bahia State specifically) christmas. It was developed at 2007.
"Christmas at Bahia the gifts come this way..."
It was chosen five objects form Mauá's store to show the concept. They are exposed on backside of postcard with its prices. We photographed the object to frontside and putted a typical poem (cordel) on back - "What if Santa was brazilian".
The poem (Cordel):
If him was brazilianI'd be happyNo sled or snowNo child hungryEverything would be betterEverything so different.
Cause if him was brazilianWhat would be the gift?This tale with reindeerTakes out my peaceIf him was son of our landWould be carried by donkey.
If him was from BrazilNo elf or castleThe clothes would be othersOn his feet, only the slipperNo red clothesBut green and yellow.
If him was brazilianThe history claims: Change!Every children on schoolWith peace always studyingNo bonnet or pantsHe would use shorts (…)
Thank you, peopleMerry Christmas everyone.

Enlist in photography boot camp
A new boot camp to hone specialised skills in particular realms of photography has been developed for passionate photographers.
Following the success of educator Bring Your Own Laptop's initial Intro Photography course, a series of workshops has now been developed under the Bring Your Own Camera umbrella.
With four one-day courses available, including Intro Photography, Night Photography, Street/Travel Photography, and Landscape Photography. These can be taken individually as one-day courses or you can be a part of all of them to create a full four-day photography course.
The Photography Boot Camp comes about due to the increasing demand of amateur photographers wanting to undertake courses to enhance their skills.
The training company is Auckland- and Wellington-based, and director Daniel Walter Scott initially underestimated the passion New Zealand amateur photographers had for their art.
"I've been impressed by the community that has developed amongst our photography delegates. Our photographers want nothing more than to be on their journey together with their fellow learners — they want community as much as they want new skills."
To encourage this community feel that he acknowledges photgraphers desire, a social media ...full story
Photographer chases crowd-funding record
A Queenstown photographer is tilting a record-setting goal through one of New Zealand's crowd-funding websites to continue a global photographic project.
For the last few years Stu Robertson has been roaming the globe for the beginnings of his Peace in 10,000 Hands project, and he hopes to enter the next stage with an ambitious $55,000 funding target through the New Zealand Arts Foundation crowd-funding platform Boosted.
For the project Robertson plans to create images of 10,000 people holding a single white rose in their hands as a way to "reinvigorating the conversation for peace" – there would be at least one image from every country in the world, featuring people from all walks of life.
"As an artist I am exploring our similarities through art and drawing on the phenomenal power of modern social networks and instant borderless communication that dissolves prejudice and makes mankind more connected than at any other time in history," Robertson explains
The Boosted has just over a week left to go and has raised around 60 per-cent of its goal – if you'd like to ...full story
The only constant: Lea Schlatter
There seems to be little disagreement that the photographic landscape is in a period of fluctuation; less unanimous are the decisions around what the changes all mean and the right way forward. It is this uncertain, evolving environment that four young contemporary photographers are taking a hard look at in their latest group exhibition, We Are Changing.
Lea Schlatter, Ryan Meta, Kate Syme, and Delena Nathuran have come to their unique photographic practices by different paths, but they are all united by strong creative vision and a curious, critical approach to their art. Lea Schlatter talks to D-Photo's Point-Shoot blog about arranging the inquisitive exhibition for this year's Auckland Festival of Photography.
D-Photo: Can you briefly tell us what We Are Changing is all about?
Lea Schlatter: The show is about four young photographers coming together to show an overlap in their processes and photographic styles, and in doing so creating some conversation about photography and the ubiquitous field that photographers navigate today.
How did the idea for the exhibition originate?
I was inspired to make the show ...full story

During June-September 2002, influenza A (H3N2) and B viruses circulated worldwide and were associated with mild to moderate levels of disease activity. Influenza B viruses predominated in Africa, and both influenza A (H3N2) and B viruses circulated widely in Asia, Oceania, and Latin America, except in Chile and Taiwan, where A (H1)* viruses predominated. In North America, sporadic isolates of influenza A (H3N2), A (H1), and B viruses were identified. This report summarizes influenza activity in the United States and worldwide during June-September 2002.† Influenza activity in North America typically peaks during December-March, which underscores the need to begin vaccinating against influenza in October and to continue vaccination into December and throughout the influenza season.1
Influenza surveillance is conducted by a network comprising four components, including approximately 700 sentinel providers and approximately 120 U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories.2 During previous influenza seasons, active surveillance was conducted only from October to mid-May. In 2002, approximately 120 sentinel providers and approximately 60 U.S. WHO and NREVSS collaborating laboratories continued to submit weekly reports after mid-May. During May 19–September 21, the weekly percentage of patient visits to sentinel providers for influenza-like illness ranged from 1.0% in mid-May to 0.5% in mid-September. During this period, WHO and NREVSS collaborating laboratories tested 10,370 respiratory specimens for influenza viruses, of which 145 (1.4%) were positive. Of the positive results, 138 (95.2%) were influenza B viruses and seven (4.8%) were influenza A viruses. Influenza viruses were reported each week from mid-May through mid-July and during the weeks ending July 27 and August 31. No influenza viruses have been reported for September.
From mid-May through early June, outbreaks of influenza B viruses were reported in schools in Hawaii, Oregon, and Texas. In mid-August, a cluster of five influenza A (H3N2) cases associated with a cruise and land tour in Alaska and the Yukon was reported by Health Canada. Ongoing surveillance conducted by the tour company detected no increase in respiratory illness.3
During June-September, influenza A (H3N2) and B viruses circulated widely in Asia and Oceania; influenza A (H1) viruses were identified infrequently and were not associated with widespread activity, except in Taiwan, where they predominated. In Africa, influenza B viruses predominated. However, Madagascar reported an outbreak of influenza A (H3N2) viruses associated with elevated morbidity and mortality.4 In Latin America, influenza A (H3N2) and B viruses circulated widely and were associated with outbreaks. Influenza A (H1) viruses were identified less frequently, except in Chile, where they predominated. Influenza B viruses predominated in Argentina and were associated with an outbreak in August among school-aged children and their contacts. Influenza A (H3N2) and B viruses circulated widely in Brazil and Peru. In Canada, an outbreak in a long-term–care facility in August was associated with influenza A (H3N2) viruses; influenza A (H3N2), A (H1), and B viruses were identified sporadically throughout the summer.
WHO's Collaborating Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Control of Influenza at CDC analyzes influenza virus isolates from laboratories worldwide. Of 23 influenza A (H1) viruses that were collected worldwide during June-September and characterized antigenically at CDC, all were similar to A/New Caledonia/20/99, the H1N1 component of the 2002-03 influenza vaccine; 21 isolates were from Latin America, one was from Asia, and one was from Oceania. Of the 42 influenza A (H3N2) viruses that were characterized antigenically, all were similar to A/Panama/2007/99, the H3N2 component of the 2002-03 influenza vaccine; 21 were from Latin America, 13 were from Oceania, seven were from Asia, and one was from the United States.
Influenza B viruses circulating worldwide can be divided into two antigenically distinct lineages represented by B/Yamagata/16/88 and B/Victoria/2/87. Viruses of the B/Yamagata lineage have circulated worldwide since 1990. From late 1991 to early 2001, no viruses of the B/Victoria lineage were identified outside Asia. Since March 2001, B/Victoria-lineage viruses have been identified in many countries, including the United States. The B component of the 2002-03 influenza vaccine belongs to the B/Victoria lineage. Of the 96 influenza B isolates that were collected worldwide during June-September and characterized antigenically at CDC, 93 belonged to the B/Victoria lineage and three belonged to the B/Yamagata lineage. All 93 B/Victoria-lineage viruses were similar to B/Hong Kong/330/01, the B component of the 2002-03 influenza vaccine. Of the 93 B/Victoria-lineage viruses, 65 were from Latin America, 13 were from Asia, eight were from the United States, and seven were from Oceania. Of the three B/Yamagata-lineage viruses, two were from Latin America and one was from Asia.

During June-September 2002, influenza A (H1), A (H3N2), and B viruses circulated worldwide. In North America, sporadic cases of influenza were identified each month. The identification of influenza isolates and sporadic influenza outbreaks in the summer and fall is not unusual. Although the number of influenza viruses reported to CDC this summer is greater than the number reported in the previous 12 summers, this increase probably reflects the institution of systematic reporting rather than a true increase in summer influenza activity.
Although the influenza virus type/subtype that will predominate and the onset, peak, and severity of influenza-related disease activity for the 2002-03 influenza season cannot be predicted, the optimal time to receive influenza vaccine is October-November. Persons at high risk for influenza-related complications (e.g., persons aged ≥65 years and persons aged 6 months–64 years with certain medical conditions), health-care workers, household members of persons at high risk, and children aged 6 months to <9 years receiving influenza vaccine for the first time are recommended to receive vaccine beginning in October.1 Because children aged 6-23 months are at increased risk for influenza-related hospitalizations, starting this fall, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is encouraging, when feasible, the vaccination of all children aged 6-23 months and their household contacts and out-of-home caretakers beginning in October.1,5,6 Other healthy persons, including those aged 50-64 years, are recommended to begin receiving vaccine in November. Influenza vaccine should continue to be offered to all unvaccinated persons in December and throughout the influenza season, as long as vaccine supplies are available.1
The three manufacturers distributing influenza vaccine in the United States are expected to produce approximately 94 million doses combined, the largest number of trivalent influenza vaccine doses ever projected for a single season. Vaccine manufacturers estimate that approximately 80% of the 94 million doses of influenza vaccine will be distributed by the end of October.
Each February, WHO recommends influenza virus strains for inclusion in the following season's Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine.7 In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee selects vaccine strains to be used by vaccine manufacturers that distribute influenza vaccine in the United States. Substitution of an antigenically equivalent virus with better growth or processing properties for one or more of the WHO-recommended vaccine components occurs frequently. For the 2002-03 influenza season, WHO recommended A/New Caledonia/20/99–like (H1N1), A/Moscow/10/99-like (H3N2), and B/Hong Kong/330/01–like viruses for inclusion in the Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine.7 Influenza vaccines sold in the United States will use A/New Caledonia/20/99 for the H1N1 component and the antigenically equivalent strains of A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2) for the A/Moscow/10/99-like strain and B/Hong Kong/330/01 or B/Hong Kong/1434/02 for the B/Hong Kong/330/01–like strain.
Influenza surveillance reports for the United States are published weekly during October-May and are available through CDC's voice (telephone, 888-232-3228) and fax (telephone, 888-232-3299, document number 361100) information systems and at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/flu/weekly.htm. The first surveillance report for the 2002-03 season will be available October 11, 2002. Additional information about influenza viruses and influenza surveillance is available at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/flu/fluvirus.htm, and additional information on influenza vaccine is available at http://www.cdc.gov/nip/flu/default.htm.

The Boy at the End of the World
From Library Staff
Born half-grown in a world that is being destroyed, Fisher has instinctive knowledge of many things, including that he must avoid the robot that knows his name.
From the critics
Community Activity
Add Age SuitabilityBPL CHILDREN'S LIBRARIAN thinks this title is suitable for between the ages of 9 and 12
Add a CommentKids don't really know what they mean when they ask you for an "action book". They're basically just craving something that doesn't bore them to sleep. It's what catapulted the Alex Rider series to fame and fortune, and what keeps kids coming back to books when they've a host of digital distractions at their beck and call. The Boy at the End of the World is very much of that ilk, but it has more brains than your average airport thriller. Here's a dire future that looks bad, but has a hero you can emotionally attach yourself to easily and a plot that moves like river rapids. Throw in what may be the world's creepiest villain (let's just say it gives the term "earworm" a whole new meaning) and you've got yourself a great little book. One that knows what it wants to do and then does it. Just fun.
Add a SummaryHe wakes up to a world destroyed. Something has gone wrong. Created with an abundance of fishing knowledge, young Fisher emerges full formed from his pod to find that he may well be the last human being on earth. Thousands of years ago humans created bunkers called "Arks" and placed a variety of species in there asleep until they could be wakened. A good plan, until someone sabotages Fisher's Ark leaving him, by chance, the only creature alive. Determined to seek out other Arks, wherever they might be, Fisher finds himself in a hostile new world where there's everything from rampaging birds to mechanical killers. Fortunately he has Click, a helper robot of limited means, a mammoth he names Protein, and a native prairie dog with rudimentary English skills called Zapper to help him in his quest.

I've got a pair of Holley 94's on my Dodge flathead 6. Both carbs are casting number 8BA, but neither have the vacuum port for the vacuum advance. I'm wondering if anybody has taken a shot at adding this port? Is it possible or am I going to f-up a pair of good running carbs?
Bob, You will need manifold vacuum for that motor;leave the carbs as they are. That 8BA vacuum will give timeing the wrong signel anyway. .....Bob
Bob, just go to an intake port under the carb and drill and tap a 1/8" pipe thread and screw a nipple in for your vacuum. That's without a doubt the easiest way to get were you want to be. Or, jump on the Bay and win a vacuum plate that mounts beneath the carb. Your call. the Dickster
I had the advance set up on the manifold, but it didn't "feel" right. Tried running without any vac advance and it ran like shit (like a stock 1 barrel) I'll put it back to the manifold then and stop thinking so much. Thanks... Bob
Bob, Not the carbs the manifold look inside and make sure you drill thru the chamber between the carbs into the common area. I did this under the middle carb on my 3 pot and between the two pots on both of my Fentons
The problem here is when the engine is idling, there should be no vacum to the distributor. Thats the reason for using ported vacum. So you only have the initial vacuum when idling and as soon you open the throttle you will get additonal advance vacuum. Henry Fordd tried to save money and made a special distributor advance system. Using the difference between vacum above and under the throttle plate's. And when connecting a Standard 8BA distributor to manifold vacuum it will work backward´s! And when adding more carbs it will need tuning to get it to work right again. Check out this article ita a bit old but its still valid. http://www.btc-bci.com/~billben/navarro.htm
This is an engine with "normal" centrifugal/vac advance, probably an Autolite, not the dreaded Holley Loadamatic... He didn't like the results with manifold vac, and wants to try ported vac, as I read it... With the 8BA carbs, this is simple: You presumably have a plug or a pinched-off original vac line in the '49 Ford advance hole in the rear of the central main body. Remove that...scrutinize the inside area. You have a small hole going straight ahead to the venturi--pluggit any way you like. The second hole, heading down into the throttle body casting, is ported vac. Make sure uou have the proper gasket with a hole for this between main body and throttle casting and try your car with advance hooked up to the '49 Ford setup, venturi vac disabled. This is exactly how Mallory did the job with its aftermarket '49 Ford distributors. I believe the passage in carb body may be very small...don't know if this will affect response. You probably own a drill, if it does...
I don't know how this link hasn't made it onto this thread, but it's a great little write up on how you can convert 94's and 2100's to a ported vacuum that will work on new distributors with vacuum advance: http://www.eatonbalancing.com/blog/...ey-94-two-barrel-for-late-model-distributors/
That way is useful only with the very late carbs that have the extra valve; the common 1949-53 types have ported vac to the rear port for the Loadamatic and need only to have the extra hole for venturi vac plugged, as noted above. Look into the hole in the back of the carb...a small hole goes in straight to the venturi. Pluggit. FWIW, early Mallory distributors came with a little plug for just this purpose... The remaining downward hole is the ported vac. All you need to to is check on the gasket between throttle and main bodies and make sure you have the right one with a hole for this vac passage. If you are using a '37-48 type carb with no vertical vac passage, you can go in right through the base as Ford did on some of the Lincoln V-12 carbs. The Lincolns had a small cast boss for this but you don't really need that.
I went to add this thread to the Holley page, but it's already there! I did however add the link to eaton balancing. Thanks grovedawg.

Proud Members of:
January 30, 2015
Tampa, Florida (January 30, 2015) - Today the Florida Housing Finance Corporation board of directors approved $2.968 million in housing funding to local Arc programs throughout Florida to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live in their home communities. The following Arc chapters received awards:
New Home Construction:
The Arc Nature Coast, Inc., (Hernando County) - $700,000.00
The Arc of Alachua County, Inc., (Alachua County) - $350,000.00
The Arc Gateway, Inc., (Escambia County) - $350,000.00
The Arc of Putnam County, Inc., (Putnam County) - $350,000.00
The Arc Indian River County, (Indian River County) - $350,000.00
The Arc Sunrise of Cental Florida, (Lake County) - $350,000.00
Renovations to existing homes:
The Arc Jacksonville, Inc., (Duval County) - $84,000.00
The Arc St. Lucie County, (St. Lucie County) - $84,000.00
Thank you to the Florida Legislature for appropriating this funding and to the staff and board of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for all of your hard work. Most importantly, congratulations to the individuals who will be served in these new homes – there's no place like home.
After many years of advocacy and bipartisan work in Congress, the Stephen Beck, Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was signed into law on December 19, 2014. The Arc of the United States has recently released two fact sheets about the new law. The first fact sheet is an overall Summary of the ABLE Act, and the second is a more In-Depth Look at the law. These fact sheets will help better explain and educate the disability community about how this law will work. The Arc of the United States will be continually producing more materials as updates on federal regulations are released and the accounts are set up in states. Continue to check back here, as we will keep you posted about the implementation of the ABLE Act here in Florida.
The law allows eligible individuals with disabilities the ability to establish "ABLE accounts" for qualified beneficiaries that resemble the qualified tuition programs, often called "529 accounts", that have been established under that section of the tax code since 1996. The new ABLE accounts will allow more individual choice and control over spending on qualified disability expenses and limited investment decisions, while protecting eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, and other important federal benefits for people with disabilities.
January 27, 2015
The Arc of Florida has teamed with the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council to host the 2015 Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day at the Florida Capitol Thursday, March 5, 2015. The Agency for Persons with Disabilities will also participate.
Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day is an opportunity for members of the disability community to meet with legislators and advocate for issues important to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. (I/DD) Exhibitor opportunities are also available.

Great service and an exceptional meal! Would definately eat there again. My husband is very picky about eating in restaurants as he is a chef. We checked the menu before choosing and knew right away that this was his type of restaurant. The menu is small but everything we ate was awesome! We will be back.
