Pike County is a county located in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. As of the 2010 census, the population was 57,369.[1] Its county seat is Milford.[2]
Pike County is included in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, as well as the larger New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area.
In 2006, Pike County was the fastest-growing county in the state of Pennsylvania.[3]
Pike County was named for General Zebulon Pike. It was organized on March 26, 1814 from part of Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Some English settlement in the area had started during the colonial years.
The longtime original inhabitants were the Lenape Native Americans, known by the English colonists as the Delaware Indians because their territory was along the Delaware River (as named by the colonists), as well as the coastal mid-Atlantic area. In 1694, Governor Benjamin Fletcher of the colony of New York sent Captain Arent Schuyler to investigate claims that the French were recruiting Indian allies for use against the English. In 1696, governor Fletcher authorized purchases of Indian land near the New York border by a number of citizens of Ulster County; their descendants became the first European settlers of what became Pike County.
Nicholas Depui was the first to settle in the area, in 1725. Thomas Quick moved to the area that would become Milford in 1733. Andrew Dingman settled on the Delaware River at the future site of Dingmans Ferry in 1735. The early settlers got along well with the Lenape and traded with them. As settlement increased and their land practices encroached on Lenape uses, land disputes arose. The colonists' infamous Walking Purchase of 1737 swindled the Indians out of more than half of present-day Pike County. As they realized what had happened, violent conflicts arose between the Lenape and the colonists.
Early in the nineteenth century, coal was discovered nearby in the area that would become Carbondale. This became especially significant as the British restricted export of British coal to the United States after the War of 1812, creating a fuel shortage in rapidly expanding New York City. To get the coal to New York, developers proposed a gravity railroad from Carbondale to Honesdale, along with a canal from Honesdale to the Hudson River at Kingston.
The state of New York approved the canal proposal in 1823. Work on the 108-mile (174 km) Delaware and Hudson Canal began in 1825 and was completed in 1828. The canal system which terminated at the Hudson River near present-day Kingston, proved profitable. But, the barges had to cross the Delaware via a rope ferry across a "slackwater dam," which created bottlenecks in the canal traffic and added greatly to the cost of transportation.
John Roebling proposed continuing the canal over the river as part of an aqueduct. Built in 1848, his innovative design required only three piers, where five would ordinarily have been required; this allowed ice floes and timber rafts to pass under with less damage to the bridge. Three other suspension aqueducts were subsequently built for the canal. Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct is still standing, possibly the oldest suspension bridge in America; it has been named a National Historic Landmark.
For fifty-one years, coal flowed to New York City via the canal. But the development of railroads, which were faster, cheaper, and operated even when the canals were frozen, brought the end of the canal era. The New York and Erie Railroad supplanted the canal and in 1898 the water route was abandoned.
From 1904 to 1926, Grey Towers in the borough of Milford, Pennsylvania was the site of summer field study sessions for the Master's program of the Yale School of Forestry, together with the Forester's Hall, a commercial building that was adapted and expanded for this purpose.[4]
In 1926, the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company built a hydroelectric plant on Wallenpaupack creek at the former village of Wilsonville. The town was evacuated and now lies under Lake Wallenpaupack, created by a dam. A crew of 2,700 men worked for two years to complete the dam for the project at a cost of $1,026,000. This required the acquisition of nearly a hundred properties, and a number of farms, barns, and homes were razed or moved. In addition, 17 miles (27 km) of roads and telephone lines were relocated, and a cemetery was moved to make way for the project.
The largely rural area of the county made it attractive as a country destination. Several camps were developed in the area of Milford, Pennsylvania, the county seat. It has several hundred late 19th and early 20th-century buildings that contribute to a National Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Yale ran summer field studies for its Master's program in forestry there from 1904 to 1926.
Since the late 20th century, Pike County has been the fastest-growing county in Pennsylvania; between 1990 and 2000, its population increased by 65.2%, and it grew an additional 16.9% between 2000 and 2004. The area has relatively low state and county taxes, affordable housing, and Interstate 80 and Interstate 84 provide rapid commutes to New York City's northern suburbs.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 567 square miles (1,468 km²), of which 547 square miles (1,416 km²) is land and 20 square miles (51 km²) (3.50%) is water.[5]
The terrain rises rapidly from the river valley in the east to the rolling foothills of the Poconos in the west. The highest point is one of two unnamed hills in Greene Township that top out at approximately 2,110 feet (643 m) above sea level.[6] The lowest elevation is approximately 340 feet (103.6 m), at the confluence of the Bushkill and the Delaware rivers.

Aerrow stood at the table looking down at the map in Piper's book.
"Okay, first of all we need to get into the fortress. If Stork and Ravess can take care of the guards then Junko and Snipe will get us inside..."
It had been a few days since the attack on the Cyclonian fortress and that was when the Cyclonians and the Storm Hawks learned they had the same enemy, Venemon the lord of the forgotten realms. He had attacked both Cyclonia and Atmosia but it was Cyclonis he was interested in. He wanted her to construct a Vorpal Crystal, something so rare that the only documents on it were fairy tales. So, following several arguments and temper tantrums, the Storm Hawks gained a few extra members. Master Cyclonis, the Dark Ace, Ravess and Snipe were all on the Condor helping to defeat Venemon.
Of course, not everyone was aware that two members of the crew were more than happy to be together.
Master Cyclonis and Finn were sat together on the other side of the table. For a long time they had pretended to listen to Aerrow and Piper talking about how they were going to get into Darkos' fortress, occasionally giving each other a flirtatious glance. But now they were completely ignoring the others and just stared into each other's eyes, slightly annoyed that they couldn't really do much more than talk and stare.
"Hey Cy, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Finn asked with his trademark cheesy smile.
"Am I thinking there are too many people here? Oh yes." She replied, sighing slightly. "I don't see why we have to keep hiding. Aerrow and Dark Ace are the only ones who don't know and with us being stuck together they're bound to notice sooner or later."
"Nah, when the Finster wants to keep a secret even Aerrow won't find out about it. Besides, if we go out in the open about it then we'll have the whole side issue. I suppose it's not so bad at the moment because we're all in this together..."
"Isn't that a song?"
"... but once that's over," Finn continued, not wanting to admit to Cyclonis that he watched High School Musical. "We'll be back to square one. I'm a Sky Knight defending the Atmos and you're a super-hot super villain. You won't give up your claim to the Atmos and I sure as hell won't turn evil."
"I could make you."
Finn grinned.
"If you think you're gonna use one of your crystals to hypnotise me then forget it, Piper's got me well trained up in anti-crystal cure... things."
Cyclonis laughed slightly.
"I wouldn't use a crystal but... I've always wanted to try bondage." She murmured huskily, her hand sliding delicately up Finn's thigh.
"... Cyclonis if you could..." Aerrow looked up.
Cyclonis was her usual well composed self, no trace of emotion at all. Finn however was bright red and really tensed up, like he was trying to hold something back.
"Is, uh, everything alright?"
"Of course Aerrow, why wouldn't it be?" Cyclonis smiled, smirking in her usual fashion and elegantly resting her chin on her hands. "So, where would you like my Cyclonian troops?" She asked sweetly.
Stork shook his head slightly in the background, wondering how long it would take for him to figure out that Finn was dating the dark empress.
He also wondered if Cyclonis would like to hear any more Merbian poetry, she had appeared quite enthralled by it last time.

Barton gets 12-match ban
Joey Barton has been banned for 12 games and fined £75k for violent conduct.
Barton accepted an FA charge against him for violent conduct after kneeing Sergio Aguero but denied a second charge of allegedly attempting to headbutt Vincent Kompany after already being sent off by referee Mike Dean for elbowing Carlos Tevez in QPR's 3-2 defeat against Man City.
No sooner had he received his sentence than he tweeted...

Wellness programs
April 23, 2009
Wellness programs are considered to be an important component of employer benefits packages because they offer workers and their families choices for pursuing healthier lifestyles with less illness, ultimately leading to less costly benefits packages. Examples of benefits that may be included in wellness programs are smoking cessation clinics, exercise/physical fitness programs, weight control programs, and nutrition education.
Other benefits that may be offered are hypertension tests, periodic physical examinations, stress management courses, and back care courses. Wellness programs, as defined by the National Compensation Survey, offer employees two or more of those eight benefits.
In 2008, public sector workers in management, professional, and related occupations and in service occupations had access to wellness programs at about the same rate. Private sector workers in management, professional, and related occupations, however, had a notably higher rate of access than did private sector workers in service occupations.
Public sector union and nonunion workers had access to wellness programs at about the same rate in 2008, but private sector union workers had higher rates of access than did private sector nonunion workers.
These data are from the BLS National Compensation Survey program. To learn more, see Access to Wellness and Employee Assistance Programs in the United States, by Eli R. Stoltzfus, Compensation and Working Conditions Online, April 2009.

Hi -- I started a brew this Sun (22 Apr) and fermentation hasn't started. Used a True Brew kit. I may not have let the wort cool enough. In addition, I may not have let the dry yeast sit on top of the wort for ten minutes before mixing it in. I think everything else is OK. Should I reintroduce yeast? Any yeast? Or should I just wait? Thanks.
Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2003!!! Whoop!
So tell me how EXACTLY you know fermentation isn't happenning????? You are not going by arilock are you? You should never rely on the bubbling or lack of on a cheap plastic airlock as a "fermentation Gauge," it's not...It's an airlock, nothing more, a VALVE to release excess CO2, to keep from blowing the lid off the fermentor... If it's not bubbling that just means that there's not enough CO2 to climb out of the airlock, or the CO2 is just forming a nice cushion on top of the beer like it's supposed to, or the airlock is askew, or it is leaking out the cheap rubber grommet, or you have a leak in the bucket seal, or around the carboy grommet...all those are fine...if CO2 is getting out then nothing's getting in.... Over half of my beers have had no airlock activity...AND that is spread out among carboys, buckets. water bottles, and anything else I may ferment in, and regardless of the type of airlock...I have 9 different fermenters... That's why I and many others say repeatedly that the only gauge of fermentaion is your hydrometer (or refractometer) . Those are precision calibrated instruments... More than likely your fermentation is going nicely at it's own pace but for a dozen possible reasons your airlock isn't bubbling...simple as that. Get out of the habit of thinking it is a precision instrument and you will find you are less worried...The only precise methid of gauging fermentation is taking gravity readings. Back in the bad old days, the predominant airlock was an s type...and often they were made of glass and sat relatively heavy in the grommet, and that's where people like papazain and those who influenced him got into the habit of counting bubbles...but now adays with 3 piecers being the norm, and most things being made crappy these days...it's just not a reliable means anymore. The trouble is, that even the authors for the most part have been brewing so long that they don't pay attention to the airlock, yet the perpetuate the myth from the old days of bubbles meaning anything....though I figure, as a writer myself, they have long moved past the basic methodology that they wrote about...it's easy to do...to "preach" something very basic, while doing a process somewhat more complex...or like most of us who have been brewing awhile, taking shortcuts. Co2 is heavier than air...there can be plenty of co2 going on, plenty of active fermentation happenning but there is not enough excess co2 rising or venting out to actually lift the plastic bubbler The 3 piece airlock is the most fallable of them all, often there is simply not a strong enough escape of co2 to lift the bubbler. Or they can be weighted down with co2 bubbles, ir hteir is a leak in the grommet or the bucket seal, anynumber of factors. If you push down on your bucket lid often you will suddenly get a huge amount of bubbling as you off gass the co2 that is there present but no needing to vent on it's own. I find that the older S type airlocks, even plastic are much more reliable...in face I have started to use those old school ones exclusively. Not to use them as a gauge of fermentation...but because I like to watch the bubbles.. But even those don't always bubble..BUT you can tell theres CO2 pushing out because the liquid will be on the farthest side away from the grommet or bung hole. Even not bubbling. you can see that something has pushed the water to the other side... There's quite a few people on here who do not use an airlock at all, they simply loosely place their lids on the bucket, or cover with saran wrap, or tinfoil or pieces of plexigalss, these just sit on the top and if the CO2 needs to void out it doess...Because as I said before if the co2 is pushing out, then NOTHING is getting in. If you look around on here at all the supposed "stuck" fermentation panic thread are not true Stuck fermentations, or deads yeasts, but are simply people like you using treating the vent like some precision instrument...And they, just like you use the words "Signs of fermentation." And that is our clue that you are going by arilocks. And 90% or more come back and say they took a hydro reading...and everything was fine... Rarely do yeasts these days get stuck...this isn't like the 70's when there was one or two strains of yeast, and they came from Europe in dried out cakes, and nowadays with our hobby so popular, even most tinned kits with the yeast under the lid trun over so fast that they are relatvely fresh most of the time. So nowadays the only way our yeast "dies" or poops out is 1)If we pitch it into boiling wort 2) There is a big temp drop and the yeasts go dormant and flocculate out, or 3) if there is a high grav wort and the yeast maxes out in it's ability to eat all the sugar...and even then the yeast may poop out at either 1.030 or 1.020...But other than that most fermentations take.... AND this is regardless of any airlock bubbling... Seriously, many of us pitch our yeast, walk away for a month and then bottle, and our beers have turned out great...The yeasts have been doing this for 5,000 years...they know what they're doing, Like I sad here in my blog, which I encourage you to read, Think evaluation before action you sure as HELL wouldn't want a doctor to start cutting on you unless he used the proper diagnostic instuments like x-rays first, right? You wouldn't want him to just take a look in your eyes briefly and say "I'm cutting into your chest first thing in the morning." You would want them to use the right diagnostic tools before the slice and dice, right? You'd cry malpractice, I would hope, if they didn't say they were sending you for an MRI and other things before going in..... When brewers use the airlock like it is some calibrated "dial" to show them "signs of fermentation" (The only true sign is the numbers on a hydrometer) they are in a sense preforming malpractice on their beer....Does that answer your question???
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
I'm going to die laughing one of these days from seeing that same cut and paste Revvy does every time this question pops up. Go, Revvy, preach on!
Brew-Happy -- Thanks. I pitched the dry yeast into the wort almost immediately after mixing w/ cold water. I'll check inside the vessel tonight.
Revvy -- Thanks. I am relying on the airlock. But seal on vessel seems excellent.
It's much better to give a simple concise answer that will not make peoples eyes glaze over. The WIKI is for articles. Either that or better to start a new thread for an article rather than cutting and pasting all over the forum. If an article is of popular value then it can be linked to in the FAQ.

Recently I got the idea of a conceptual lighting project which has got me thinking for a while, I'd like to share the idea here in my blog to see what other people think of it. As a 26 year old immigrant living in united states I am dealing with the reality of being apart from what is called my childhood, my memories and my so called home. As we all know and are involved with, under the circumstances of modern life the level of mobility has increased drastically, also our motifs for dislocation has grown. We migrate more often and to distant destinations.As a result of this we lose our stablished social grounds. More recently we have employed numerous technologies to compensate this loss.However the digital world fails to satisfy most of our emotional necessities linked to what we call "Home". The project is a 24 hour video recorded from a window opening to the city of Tehran projected on a wall in my place in San Francisco. The time difference will be 11 hours so the viewer is perceiving a time that is 11 hours ahead of him. Here I wanted to challenge the idea of a mobile architecture where the physical and virtual space can coexist at the same time. These different special time aspects and interpretations of duration and communication have reached a complexity which affects our perception of space. Since we have moved from an idea-based society to a process-based society where knowledge is being replaced by complex fields of information, How can we be so Sure that "Human perception" is still a viable tool to negotiate the architectural space??

The Sports Network DATE & TIME: Saturday, March 9, 4 p.m. (et) FACTS & STATS: Site: Thompson-Boling Arena (21,000) -- Knoxville, Tennessee. Television: ESPN. Home Record: MU 17-0, UT 12-3. Away Record: MU 2-7, UT 4-7. Neutral Record: MU 3-1, UT 2-1. Conference Record: MU 11-6, UT 10-7. Series Record: Missouri leads, 4-2. GAME NOTES: Two of the hottest teams in the conference attempt to head into next week's SEC Tournament with momentum on their side, as the Missouri Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers meet at Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday afternoon. The SEC standings are still very much in a state of flux on the last day of the season. Florida (14-3) has already clinched the regular-season championship, while Missouri (11-6) battles Kentucky, Ole Miss and Alabama for one of the remaining top-four seeds in the SEC Tournament, all of which earn double-byes into the quarterfinals. Tennessee (10-7) is still in contention for one of those spots, but it needs a lot of help. Missouri has come on strong of late with three straight wins, most recently downing Arkansas on Tuesday at home, 93-63, to improve to 22-8 overall. Once considered on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers now seem safely in the field of 68, although a win in this matchup would be a huge resume' booster considering their poor road record (2-7). Meanwhile, Tennessee has also been making waves in recent weeks, storming up the SEC standings with wins in seven of its last eight bouts, the most impressive of which coming against Florida on Feb. 26, 64-58, at home. The Vols dismissed Auburn on the road this past Wednesday, 82-75, to improve to 18-11 overall. Missouri leads the all-time series with Tennessee by a 4-2 count, but the newly-formed SEC rivals haven't met since 1985. The Tigers celebrated senior night in style earlier in the week as they shot a red-hot 58 percent from the field in their 30-point dismantling of Arkansas. Laurence Bowers led the way with 24 points on 10-of-13 from the floor, to go along with 11 rebounds, while Jabari Brown was hot on his heels with 23 points. Earnest Ross netted 11 points off the bench, and Alex Oriakhi tacked on 10 points and eight boards. At 77.7 ppg on 46.3 percent field goal shooting, Missouri is clearly one of the most dangerous teams in the SEC, especially considering its entire arsenal of weapons are healthy for the stretch run. Bowers paces the squad with 14.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg and more than a block per contest all while shooting greater than 55 percent from the field, while Oriakhi (11.0 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 1.6 bpg) makes up the other half of one of the most imposing forward duos in the league. Phil Pressey (11.9 ppg) doesn't impress much with his field goal percentage (.382), but his 7.1 apg are tops in the SEC by a fairly wide margin. Rounding out the Tigers' outstanding six-man rotation is a trio of strong shooting guards in Brown (14.4 ppg), Keion Bell (11.8 ppg) and Earnest Ross (10.4 ppg). Despite succumbing to a small Auburn run early in the second half to get down by six, Tennessee rebounded down the stretch to capture the seven-point road victory. Trae Golden and Jordan McRae each scored 21 points, with McRae adding seven rebounds and Golden handing out six assists. The duo combined to shoot 16-of-18 from the free-throw line, and McRae is averaging a massive 28.0 ppg over the last five games. Jarnell Stokes was solid as usual in the low post with 11 points and 12 rebounds. The Vols' scoring average (66.9 ppg) has been inching upward in recent weeks, as they have netted 82 points or more in four of the last six games, and their defensive yield (63.6 ppg) has remained solid. McRae's hot hand of late has allowed him to climb all the way to 16.2 ppg on the season, good for fourth in the league. Stokes is a nightly double-double threat with 12.4 ppg and 9.3 rpg, while Golden (12.1 ppg) makes up for a poor field goal percentage (.378) by logging more than twice as many assists (111) as turnovers (53). This matchup certainly holds a lot of intrigue both for the SEC Tournament and for each team's NCAA Tournament resume', so expect everything to be left out on the court. With both teams riding hot streaks, expect this one to come down to the Vols' strong home court advantage (12-3), especially considering Missouri's road woes.

Let's face some info about the commercial property market today; it slower and tougher. It's going to not appear location you are working in or what property type you specialise in, things much more difficult within marketing and sale or lease of economic property. That being said, you need to still chance for you to capture.
At on this occasion in the cycle, ought to be done recognize that as seen on BBC News Site is following exactly the same path although housing bubble – the very same path!
In Mumbai, demand for Office Space Leasing in Q3 2009 improved significantly as when compared with previous quarters and was recorded at approximately a.21 million sq.ft. This steep boost in demand can be attributed on the improving economy and growing belief amongst end users that office rental values in Mumbai have largely bottomed done. As a result, many companies, which had earlier withheld their real estate requirements, have right now begun to try and do their absorption of work place in Q3 2009 was recorded as 2.76 million sq.ft.
Let me illustrate this method. I have had people who owned multiple 1 to 4 unit properties, maybe 20 to 30 units in all, ask me selecting their first apartment building or other piece of commercial property investing. As i get that question I've got to chuckle. for the reason that already the apartment creation! It is simply broken up into smaller pieces. Granted, the mechanics of multifamily marketplace are slightly different than for multiunit residential, but web page . the questioner is already a commercial property investing or "income producing real estate" real estate investor. He just hasn't realized it.
B. Post cards. This is simple – postcards are easily read. If you can't send them monthly, donrrrt bother. And, postcards usually are meant to generate an answer. Be sure to will include a call-to-action with your copy. Such as Web site, a postcard is not meant for that father pretty leaflet. Postcards are a great to help convey comps; these postcards tend being saved. Numerous five postcards in a row meant to get the outlook to respond in in a certain way also is fine. Bottom line – POSTCARDS WORK when done efficiently.
Professional image is another worry. Regardless ofhow professionally you run your business, it never appears as professional when you notify clients that you work in your spare floor space.
And depsite what analysts would maybe you believe, all is not okay. Defaulting on billions is composing deal to order sovereign multitude. The Government of Dubai just said end up being not stand behind Dubai Arena. wiping out that long-held belief that sovereign nations don't default.
All advisors things assist you to understand what the property companies are doing and ways it is happening. Information like this help you build your commercial industry business with good clients and directories.

First of all, thank you MEAMBOBBO and PDXGUITARFREAK, for your generous contributions on the HD500, you guys are incredible. I've been playing for 40 years, and own/have owned more tube amps or digital rack/pedal stuff than anyone should be allowed to (that now just records in their bedroom on the weekends), and am having a blast with my HD500X EVH tones, Floyd tones, etc. Man this thing is fun in stereo! Anyway, what is the best method for dialing in 2 amps on the same preset. If I dial them in separately for their best individual sounds, it's not necessarily the best mix. So I end up just being tweek boy, hoping for the best combined tone. I know I should obviously start with a tone in my head, but do any of you super users have a method I can employ, rather than just tweeking and changing amps and random perimeters, hoping to nail a killer combination? (I am using the HD for both the preamp and amp tones, direct).
Adjusting Dual Amps
Posted 11 October 2013 - 02:36 AM
Did you check out this post? It might be helpful. http://line6.com/sup...old/#entry20263
Posted 11 October 2013 - 09:38 AM
I'm not a super user like the others mentioned, but if I set up a dual amp patch, I'll get the basic tone I want with one amp/cab/mic, mimic the amp settings for the second, and change the cab/mic option to find the complimentary tone (this usually means finding more body). Once the two work together nicely, I'll begin fine tuning and addressing the tonal nuances.
Posted 11 October 2013 - 07:37 PM
One technique I like is to mix two models of the same amp, just mic them differently (on axis vs. off axis, condenser vs. ribbon). Pan both to the center. A lot of studio engineers do this with when recording real amps.
Another technique is to find two amps that contrast. Dirty vs. clean, bassy vs. mid rangey. Pan these hard to the L & R. Also try putting a very short 100% wet delay on one side. This will make the sound get to one ear a little later than the other and gives you better stereo separation. Combos I like: AC30 & Plexi, AC30 & JCM800, Dual Rectifier & Peavey.

I would love to receive this in my stocking this Christmas. It's the perfect vase for a single clipping from the garden, and I adore the rich teal color. When it comes to chic Christmas gifts for under $15, this is at the top of my list.
This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. It's a good under $15 gift idea for your favorite chef this Christmas. Microplanes are excellent for fresh spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), citrus and even hard cheeses.
Mornings are a whole lot sweeter with a frothy latte at a low price. This Aerolatte frother is a must for any coffee connoisseur; you can froth foamy milk right in your coffee mug! And it's a steal for $12.
You cannot go wrong with a candle that smells delicious, and the scent of winter is incredibly enticing.
Give your family and friends a head start on their Christmas thank you notes by tucking these adorable cards into their stockings. The design is a little retro but in a fresh, beautiful way. I love the illustration, and I'd probably frame this card for my office if I received it in the mail.
These cocktail napkins are bright, eclectic and very fun. Pair them with traditional wine glasses to add a pop of color, or serve them with brightly patterned appetizer dishes for a trendy blend of patterns. At just $12.95 a set, they make a delightful Christmas gift.
Mercury votive candle holders are stunning year-round. At $8 a pop they fit our $15 budget for design-oriented stocking stuffers, and they would look just beautiful on the mantel.
Unusual? Yes. Eye-catching? Check. This magnifying glass would be fabulous placed atop a stack of books or used as a weight for to-be-filed papers on your desk.
This coffee cup would definitely put me in the spirit of Christmas. I love its wide shape and festive colors — and I would love to receive one in my stocking. Pair this mug with your favorite beans and a Bodum frother for a complete gift.
Don't forget to beautifully wrap all of your favorite stocking stuffers! Everyone appreciates a well-wrapped gift, and I very much appreciate the beautiful illustration on this wrapping paper. I'd add gold ribbon for a touch of elegance, and perhaps a sprig of pine from the Christmas tree.

LeBron James' Personal Nike PE Collection on eBay by Brendan Dunne 19 Comments
January 7, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 4
Could the latest Nike Zoom Soldier VI colorway be a sign that LeBron James will return to his one-time playoff sneaker series? It could go either way, judging by this new 'BHM' Soldier 6, a followup to the Black History Month LeBron 9 (a model King James wore last February). The recent 'Christmas' PE worn by Eric Bledsoe and Kosta Koufos is a case where other NBA players ended up wearing a special Soldier makeup, so be sure to check back with Sneaker News for updates after you've seen more photos below.

BBC marks 90 years of radio with historic Albarn broadcast
A composition by Blur frontman Damon Albarn has been played to radio listeners around the world to mark 90 years of BBC broadcasting.
2LO Calling, a "snapshot of the airwaves", featured iconic sounds from radio over the past 90 years.
Musician and artist Nick Franglen told the BBC he enjoyed how the piece began but was "left feeling flat" by the end.
The broadcast at 17:33 GMT was hosted by BBC Radio 2's Simon Mayo from London's Science Museum.
It was the first scheduled simultaneous broadcast since 1922, when the BBC was established.
2LO Calling began with the chimes of Big Ben and featured the first ever broadcast from the 2LO transmitter and the number one song at the time - Three O'Clock in the Morning.
The three-minute piece also featured messages from listeners around the world along with the sound of the blackbird and skylark, commentary from the Cameroon election and the ubiquitous BBC pips.
"There is a special musicality to some of the vocal messages, which I tried to preserve," Albarn told the BBC earlier.
"Added to that, I got to do what I've always wanted - to play along with the pips."
Albarn also chose to include a famous quote from philosopher Bertrand Russell: "Love is wise, hatred is foolish."
Artist and musician Nick Franglen's take on 2LO Calling
I thought this was a great way to celebrate 90 years of radio, making a collage of BBC radio's output.
He didn't have very long to capture the entire history of broadcasting so he needed to be careful of the choices he made.
I enjoyed the start, Big Ben, the 20's music with children and snippets of conversation threading through it.
He got the time machine thing just right. I particularly enjoyed the wonderful girl talking about how busy the future was going to be and how we must not get lost, but from then on I found it disappointing.
The dirgy piano started, doing something with the pips and it then just stopped.
I was left feeling flat by the whole thing. I'm a real fan of Damon's work but I think he got the flow wrong and I wonder if he ran out of time.
It featured in Morse code, the series of clicks, tones, dots and dashes historically used to transmit information.
Russell delivered the BBC's inaugural Reith Lecture in 1948.
BBC Radio 3 presenter, Tom service described the tone of the piece as being one of "simultaneous elegy and hopefulness".
"The children's voices and their hopes for the future were both visionary in their innocent belief in the power of music; and dystopian in their hopes that the world wouldn't become overpopulated or burn itself to oblivion.
"Only at the end did Albarn allow himself a moment of real musical invention, in a radiophonic hymn for tolling piano chords, glockenspiel and those now magical, mythical pips," he added.
The 2LO transmitter made the first broadcast - from the British Broadcasting Company as it was then known - on 14 November 1922.
More than 55 BBC radio stations came together for Radio Reunited. It is estimated the broadcast could have reached up to 80 million listeners.
The Science Museum is marking the 90th anniversary of BBC Radio with a display featuring part of the original 2LO transmitter.
The display takes visitors back to the first broadcast and features two radios used to receive the BBC's early broadcasts, a microphone used in the early BBC Savoy Hill studios and an early copy of the Radio Times from 1923.
Tim Boon, head of research and public history at the Science Museum, said: "The first broadcast by the 2LO 90 years ago marked the moment when radio moved from the realm of the 'amateur enthusiast' to the first proper public broadcasting service in Britain.
"This exhibition takes visitors back to a time when everything, from the technology to the content of the programmes was still new."
Radio Reunited was one of a series of on-air events to mark 90 years of BBC Radio, which will also feature a wide range of special programming across BBC stations.

Polo Lessons at Waterhall Polo Centre, Apes Hill
Apes Hill , St. James
Tel: 246 432 4500
Concierge.com's insider take:
On such a posh island, could there be a more fitting game to play? And the Sport of Kings' sweeping setting will suit even the bluest of blood. Panoramic views of both coasts frame the Apes Hill Golf and Polo Resort, once a 17th century sugar plantation. The property—slated for completion in late 2008—will be the largest of its kind in the Caribbean. Until that is completed, you can take lessons at the Waterhall Polo Centre from professional British player Neil Dixon. If you'd rather enjoy the game without being saddle-side, there are matches several times a week, from December to June. A terribly urbane crowd—women in broad-brimmed sunhats and men in seersucker suits—nibble on tea sandwiches as waiters glide around with trays of Champagne.

Best joke so far? My doctor said I have to watch what I eat so I've managed to get a couple of tickets to the Grand National. Ba-dum-tish. You gotta admit, this one's got legs. Ok, we give up but only because there's a word limit. The horsemeat scandal will continue to run and run (unlike the horses) and frankly, we wouldn't be surprised if the scandal spreads further than processed food – which, let's face it, we could all avoid if we had to – to institutions such as our schools, hospitals… hey, even lower-end restaurants may not be immune.

A Bloody Nightmare

A Capital Idea
The race is on to find the official Capital of Cuisine. Which town produces the finest food? The best cheese…? The most delectable wine…? The finest sweetest ham…? The most accredited restaurants….? At least it is in food-loving France where a government committee, the French Mission on Food Culture and Heritage, have been assigned the frankly not-very-onerous task of deciding upon the town with the most to offer food tourists of the world. And to settle once and for all who's the best in the world, ever ever ever (because the French really really care about that). Read full post
Move Over Lord Sugar
You might have caught Hotel GB on Channel 4 in October and wondered at the point of it all, apart from resurrecting Big non-Frowny Gordon's TV career. If you didn't, the concept was to take long-term unemployed young people and train them in the hospitality and catering industry in five days, at the end of which team leaders Gordon R and Mary Portas each chose an apprentice to go on and work for them. Apart from stating the obvious, which is that some people are really good at dealing with the general public (Liverpudlian Emily who was so very sincere) and some really aren't (Tom who seemed to lack an 'edit' function), and that Gordon can (shock horror) make a devastatingly good personnel manager when required, it also caught the zeitgeist in highlighting the huge amount of investment currently being ploughed into the industry starting at the bottom – with the students. Read on and salivate at the thought of the slick professionalism both front- and back-of-house which is all set to enhance that dining experience.

How much is too much? Or rather how much is too much for £12? That was the question for champion freebie-takers Andy Miles and George Dalmon recently as they achieved the egregious feat of actually being thrown out of their local all-you-can-eat buffet for eating too much. Man, did these guys go for it: two visits a month for two years, eating the Brighton-based Mongolian restaurant into its own private food famine like two ravaging Pac-men. They have been banned from ever crossing the threshold again. Like, didn't you guys realise the restaurant has to make money off you, not the other way round…? Read full post
Food TV
Xanthe Clay, a well-known and respected food writer, wrote an article recently on fake food television; what if anything do the Nigellas, Jamies and Lorraines of this world actually offer us?

Watchdog group calls for federalizing guard force at Y-12
Watchdog cites expert opinions
A government watchdog group says high-level security analyses — including one by former Lockheed Martin CEO Norm Augustine — support the need for federalizing the guard force at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant and other installations where nuclear bomb-making materials are housed.
The Project On Government Oversight, based in Washington, D.C., obtained a series of letters from prominent individuals who advised Energy Secretary Steven Chu on how to fix the security failures in the wake of the July 28 break-in at Y-12. In the early morning darkness, three protesters — including an 82-year-old nun — infiltrated the plant without detection, cut through security fences and ultimately sullied the plant's storage facility for highly enriched uranium with spray-painted peace messages and splashes of human blood.
In addition to Augustine's12-page analysis of problems and detailed "suggestions," POGO acquired and published on its website letters from retired Air Force Maj. Gen. C. Donald Alston, who once commanded Warren Air Force Base, and former Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Richard Meserve.
The watchdog group has touted the benefits of a federal force for years, saying it would protect the nuclear weapons complex against possible union strikes and offer greater stability. In a statement released Monday, the group's senior investigator, Peter Stockton said, "POGO recommends that Congress finally move ahead on federalizing the guard forces at all sites where bomb-grade uranium is stored."
Both Augustine and Alston said creating a civilian federal force — not one that's part of the military — was the preferred alternative for protecting the nation's key nuclear assets.
That wasn't the top choice of Meserve, who indicated a federal force would be difficult to accomplish and more expensive than using private contractors. However, he said it was worthy of consideration if needed security reforms can't be reached "by a less drastic approach."
The U.S. Department of Energy and its subunit, the National Nuclear Security Administration, have looked at federalizing the security guards in the past but have put such proposals on hold — either because of expense or concerns about union agreements in place at the nuclear sites.
The prominent trio provided their guidance at Chu's request following the Y-12 security incident, with support and assistance from the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Each of the letters is dated Dec. 6, 2012.
Besides giving a glimpse at possible security changes, the letters also underscored the severity of the midsummer security breach at Y-12.
"Many security professionals with whom we spoke reacted to the Y-12 accident with extreme embarrassment and, as in my own case, perplexity," Augustine wrote to Chu.

The Beginning Strings Program is supported by a Community Betterment Grant from Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino.
Group Lessons for Young Beginners is a sequence of three pre-piano music levels for 3-6 year olds.
Level one, POCO PIANO is for
Children age three or four years old who have had no previous music instruction.
Level two, PRESTO PIANO is for
Children age four years old who have completed the Poco Piano level or ages five or six years old with no previous music instruction
Level three, PIANO PARTNERS is for
Graduates of our Presto Piano level. Piano Partners is specially designed to help students gain the necessary music fundamentals for a successful transition into private instrumental instruction.
The Des Moines Symphony Academy's pre piano class curriculum will enrich your children's knowledge and skills for a lifelong appreciation of music. During each of our weekly 45-minute classes your child will learn musical fundamentals through discovery-based activities within a nurturing, exploratory environment. These fundamentals include reading musical notation, singing and moving to music, ensemble playing, improvisation, ear training and the mechanics of piano technique.
Parent participation is not necessary during class time. However, the Pre-piano class curriculum has been developed so you the parent or caregiver with some musical training can share in the fun of making music side-by-side with your child at home. The music used in class will be familiar to both you and your child having been carefully chosen from a rich heritage of nursery rhymes, folk songs and original compositions.
Group Lessons for Young Beginners is offered in (3) 9-week semesters (Fall, Winter and Spring), with shorter 3-week sessions in December, June and July.
Our class schedule is arranged to accommodate young musicians enrolled in either morning or afternoon pre-school programs.

Establishing a middle school PTSA when you only have students for 2 years?

As a middle school prinicpal I've spent a lot of time trying to establish a solid PTSA organization. My school serves students for their 7th / 8th grade years only. The 6th grade is part of our elementary schools. Is there an administrator out there that has dealt with or is dealing with this same problem? I would certainly like to know how you've addressed it and whether you're experiencing success.
