He is the law, and you damn well better remember that. Americans may know Dredd mainly from the lackluster Sylvester Stallone film of the '90s, but overseas, the hero is one of the most popular in comics. Dredd's escapades as judge, jury, and executioner in a bleak future have unfolded for years in the pages of 2000 AD. We can only hope the next Dredd film will do a better job of capturing the grim appeal of the source material.

A Periodic Review Base Stock Inventory System With Sales
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper considers a system in which an order is placed every T periods to bring the inventory position up to the base stock S. It accepts demand until the inventory position reaches a sales rejection threshold M. The objective is to find the optimal values of S and M which minimize the long-run average cost per period. It establishes the stationary distribution of the system and develops structural properties of the optimal solution that facilitate computation. In particular, it shows that in an optimal solution, the optimal value of M is non-negative under some reasonable conditions. Hence, in the model a mixture of backorders and lost sales may occur. Additionally, the paper compares the system against traditional systems in which demand during stockouts is either fully backordered or lost.

OCBC confident about China as shareholders question Wing Hang deal
Published on Apr 24, 2014 5:15 PM
SINGAPORE - OCBC Bank's board of directors have reiterated their confidence in China's growth in explaining the Singapore lender's acquisition of Hong Kong's Wing Hang Bank.
At the bank's annual general meeting on Thursday, the first question posed by a shareholder was whether the bank could have grown organically in Greater China without acquiring another lender.
The shareholder also asked whether an ongoing economic slowdown in China would affect Wing Hang's financial health.
In response, OCBC non-executive chairman Cheong Choong Kong said the bank has confidence in the future of Greater China.

Three months have passed since the launch of the Digital Government Strategy, and "today agencies are making great strides toward putting a solid foundation for a 21st-century digital government in place," said U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel.
As examples of success, he cited the Census Bureau's recently-released first mobile app, America's Economy. The app delivers real-time updates on fiscal trends and economic indicators, among other features. Until Aug. 23 it was available only for the Android platform, but now is on Apple's iOS as well.
Census officials have also released the underlying data through its first publicly available application programming interface. The API, which pulls from the American Community Survey and the 2010 Census, "has yielded an unprecedented level of interest from citizen developers," VanRoekel wrote Aug. 23 on the White House blog.
"This is just one example of the power of unlocking rich government data sets and services to the public and is exactly what the Digital Government Strategy is trying to accomplish," the federal CIO said. "But it is just the beginning."
Other recent "building blocks" aimed at helping agencies scale existing best practices across government include:
The just-released BYOD guidance stresses that BYOD is not mandatory and the toolkit isn't meant to be comprehensive "but rather provides key areas for consideration and examples of existing policies and best practices." The document was produced by the Digital Services Advisory Group and the Federal CIO Council.
In addition to offering an overview of considerations for BYOD adoption, the document highlights successful federal BYOD pilots or programs, including:
Aug. 23 marked the deadline for all agencies to identify a minimum of two services that contain high–value data and make them adhere to the digital government policy. The next milestone is Nov. 23, when agencies have to establish a comprehensive governance structure and create an inventory of mobile devices and wireless service contracts.

BYOD might be a good fit for government, but it also raises serious questions about protecting sensitive data, not to mention the pressure on IT staff to support so many different types of devices. It's possible to get the benefits of BYOD while managing its challenges by using virtualization and HTML5 technologies to keep data and applications separate from personal devices. One such solution is Ericom AccessNow, an HTML5 RDP client that enables users to connect from most types of devices to any RDP hosts (such as VDI virtual desktops or Windows Remote Desktop Services) and run full Windows desktops or applications in a browser tab. There's nothing to install on the end user devices, as you only need an HTML5-compatible browser. That protects sensitive data by keeping it off the device, and also reduces IT support costs, since IT staff don't need to spend time installing software on so many different platforms. All they need to do is give employees a URL and login credentials. http://www.ericom.com/BYOD_Workplace.asp?URL_ID=708 for more info. Please note that I work for Ericom

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
An t-Eilean Sgitheanach -- the Isle of Skye, that is -- has got to be one of the most magical places I've ever visited. I went there several years ago, and every year I keep thinking about going back. The island is quiet, stunningly beautiful, with great walks and drives, a thriving Gaelic culture, friendly people, good food, great whisky, and lots and lots of sheep. It was also perhaps the first time I had visited a place because of a piece of music. Scottish accordionist/composer/producer Phil Cunningham lived on Skye at the time, and had composed tunes on the two albums he did with the group Relativity that said things like "this tune was inspired by the view outside my kitchen window on the Isle of Skye", and "this tune was inspired by the view on the train trip from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, perhaps the most beautiful two-and-a-half-hour train journey in the world." The tunes were so beautiful that I thought, "I have to go there." (Phil was right about that train trip, too.) I understand things on Skye have changed a bit since my last visit; there's now apparently a bridge to take the place of the ferry that took passengers from Kyle of Lochalsh to Kyleakin, the landing point on the island. That's a bit of a bummer, as I rather enjoyed the brief ferry trip, but I suppose it's made things more convenient for visitors. I'm of a mind, though, that convenience in accessibility isn't necessarily a good thing. Some places are special enough that it should require a little bit of extra effort to get there. The ferry was part of the charm of the experience for me, and it took less than 10 minutes. I don't need the convenience of a bridge, but I suppose that it's good for the economy of the island. When I landed at Kyleakin, I was taken to a nearby hotel to hire a car; it was affordable enough, but I was taken aback by the requirement of a �50 cash deposit for the car hire. I was a starving student who was already running out of money, but the cheerful gentleman assured me that the deposit was 100% refundable, "unless you hit a sheep." Sheep outnumber humans on this island, and apparently rental cars hitting sheep had been a bit of a problem. I had booked a B&B in Portree, the island's main town, and the drive from Kyleakin to Portree was stunningly beautiful. The drive was right along the island's east coast, and the view, amidst the hills and the heather, was of the small neighboring island of Raasay 14 miles long by 4 miles wide, and with a population of about 200. When I arrived at Portree, once a busy fishing port but now a tourist town, I began to have the first of several weird but wonderful experiences that were right out of my favorite movie, "Local Hero" (set in Scotland but in the Highlands of the mainland). My B&B was a big, beautiful house owned and operated by the delightful Mrs. McKenzie, who greeted my knocks at the door with a line right out of "Local Hero" ... "Oh, come in dear. It's never locked." I was shown to my comfortable, well-decorated and spacious bedroom, then told her that my journey to Skye (which included sleeping on the floor at the Inverness train station, something I do not recommend) had been difficult, and the only thing I wanted was a shower. "Oh dear, there'll be no shower here," she said. I was speechless and nonplussed, but she led me to the bathroom on the second floor, where the door was opened to reveal ... the largest, free-standing claw-foot bathtub I had ever seen. I gasped. (It was luxurious.) Portree is charming, and there's plenty to do - restaurants and caf�s and walking and an arts centre - but what you'll want to do mostly is just SEE the island. Rent a bike, take a boat trip ... you'll rarely see a place more beautiful. Some of the more spectacular sights include Dunvegan Castle, home of the island's ruling MacLeod clan for many years, The Old Man of Storr (a stone pinnacle with a great view) and ... well, just about anywhere you point your eyes. Keep an eye out for fliers or posters about cultural events happening on the island. There was one event I was incredibly lucky to run across. I was in a wee craft shop and happened to notice a wee poster on the door, describing an evening of song, poetry and piping at Sabhal M�r Ostaig, the Gaelic college on the southwestern side of the island. I drove out there that night, was greeted by the President of the college, who gave me a tour, and was delighted by the fact that almost everyone there was speaking Gaelic and not English. Skye is part of the Gaidhealtachd, the Gaelic-speaking region, and despite encroaching tourism the culture is still strong there. The evening (conducted and hosted entirely in Gaelic) featured performers from both Scotland and Ireland. There were two singers of sean-nos songs (unaccompanied songs in Scottish and Irish Gaelic), two pipers (one of whom was a member of Battlefield Band at the time), and two poets -- one Irish, whose name escapes me at the moment, and ... the Scottish poet, who I later realized was the greatest living Scottish Gaelic poet, Sorley MacLean. As I talked to more Scottish people after this trip, I learned that I was very fortunate indeed to have heard him speak; he died not long after. There were other experiences I had there that convinced me that Skye is perhaps the most magical place I'd ever been to, but ... I'll keep those to myself. :-) See the island, meet the people, drink the whisky (the bottle of locally-made Talisker Single Malt, distilled in 1956, that I took home is the greatest Scotch I've ever tasted). Experience Skye for the first time; I can't wait to experience it for the next time. Useful web sites include the Internet Guide to Scotland - Skye at http://www.scotland-inverness.co.uk/skye.htm, Sabhal M�r Ostaig's site at http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk and Kyleakin resident Ray Shields' page at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ray_shields/

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
It was time for a new and larger slow cooker. Before moving I trashed my old Crock Pot, but no tears were shed. It had been a good faithful workhorse for me, but the day I dropped the glass lid and it shattered into a thousand pieces was the day my love affair with it ended. Next time out I decided to try the Hamilton Beach 5-Quart Slow Cooker (#33550). I had noticed that this brand had lids with rubber gasket rim on the inside, so I hoped that it would prove a bit more durable and be able to withstand my clumsiness. So far, so good! Additional product details The inner removable crock is made of black stoneware and is oval in shape. Its inner measurements are approximately 10 inches by 8.5 inches. It has stoneware handles. The crock may also be stored in refrigerator or freezer. Hamilton Beach warns you that it can scratch countertops (such as granite) but I haven't had a problem. It's not as rough as some cooking stoneware (like Pampered Chef's). The outer base has two plastic handles and has a 3-foot electrical cord. What it lacks is a cord keeper and also rubberized feet that grip to the counter. I don't have young kids anymore but I like kitchen appliances like my food processor that grip well to the counter and can't be pulled off by errant hands. Also included with the slow cooker is a rubberized latch (sort of like a giant rubber band) that fits over the lid and the handles. I've never used it, as it's intended for people who intend to transport the inner crock to a dinner or picnic, for example, something which I've never done. As I mentioned, the glass lid on the Hamilton Beach models have a rubber gasket underneath the metal rim. Great idea, I thought! One thing I began to hate with my Crock Pot was that a lot of liquid bubbled out and hopefully this gasket would limit or prevent that. The lid and the inner crock are both dish-washer safe. I got this at Walmart for about $27. Usage During the winter I use my slow cooker a LOT! It's great for slow cooking soups as well as roasts. My husband in particular likes when I make corned beef in here. Nothing could be easier. I usually buy a 3-4 pound corned beef. Just put it in, fatty side up, fill with a couple inches water, drop in the spice pack, and slow cook for about 6 hours. I also love to make bean soups in my slow cooker. It's a great way to make an economical meal. I'll soak the dry beans the night before and rinse, put in the slow cooker and add 6 cups chicken broth along with desired spices, and cook for 6-8 hours until beans are tender. As for performance, my Hamilton Beach slow cooker is equal to my old Crock Pot. Both of them seemed to cook a little bit faster than most recipes suggested cook times, even when on low, so I do advise checking early to make sure your dishes don't get overcooked or mushy. Fortunately, I've got the "keep warm" feature on this slow cooker, and it does keep food warm and at serving temperature, but I try not to keep it on for over an hour as even at this temperature selection, the liquid is still quite warm. I'm happy to say that the rubber gasket on the lid does limit the amount of liquid that bubbles out. I no longer here the lid rattling like it did on my Crock Pot and there isn't any splatter from the steam build-up on the counter. One tiny problem with this lid is that if you place it (while it's hot) on a granite counter like mine, it actually forms a seal and I have to slide a knife under to break the seal. I've also notice that the handle on the lid (like my Crock Pot lid) gets loose and you have to take a screw driver to tighten it from time to time. Clean-up The inner crock can get a ring from the liquid or food in the slow cooker, so I'll often have to soak it for an hour. You're advised not to scrub it with a scratchy pad, but I will take use a Scotch-Brite No Scratch Scrubbing Sponge to clean such messes without any problem. If it's not too dirty I may just pop it in the bottom rack of my dishwasher. The outside (the base) cleans up easily with a sponge. I sometimes give it a nice shining with a stainless steel cleaner or even Windex with Vinegar. Final Recommendation I've very pleased with my Hamilton Beach Five Quart Slow Cooker. It makes cooking easy and stress free. I like the added feature of having a gasket on the lid as well as the "keep warm" feature on the temperature controls. And yes, I'm hoping that lid doesn't break if I drop it! 4 stars. Made in China One year limited warranty

The book can't never be considered as stable (for various reasons), but neither of the Linux distributions can be considered as stable too (for the same reasons - Matthew say some of the reasons below); except Debian stable. But the book *was* and it *is* in a useful state (I can't offer opinion about the current state of Gnome/Kde, as I've never found a use for them). > Things move so quickly in the open source > arena that as soon as you freeze something as big as BLFS, by the time it's > stabilised then the kernel, toolchain, etc. have moved on, offering new features > that would be useful for at least one of the BLFS packages. Years ago, I've said that it would be better if we could "shrink" BLFS to absolutely minimum - just to boot in X - thus allowing BLFS to follow closely the LFS cycle, more easily. In fact, I was thinking for an integrated "X" chapter (libs and Xorg) in Lfs, written in a linear format (like LFS is written). The rest could be done by the community. Tiny and flexible (with multiply branches) projects could be born, e.g., kde Book, Audio/Video Book, Programming Book, etc..., thus allowing us to share the responsibilities to a wider development team. Now we have a Book with no real target (what we are targeting? LFS stable? LFS development?); a mixed Book that includes, both updated and outdated packages. Anyway and assuming nothing is gonna change, one simple thing that we can do to improve the situation, is to change the LFS cycle. The current LFS stable 6.5 comes with gcc-4.4.1 and the next stable (planned for March) is going to ship again with a point release from the same 4.4 branch (gcc-4.4.3). We didn't ever shipped with a gcc-4.3 release - as a result, we had thrown away all the work that had be done in BLFS during last year and a part of 2008 (based in gcc-4.3), when LFS had decided to jump to gcc-4.4 without to produce a release with gcc-4.3. Ideally, we could have a gcc-4 branch and then we could produce point releases until the last point release of gcc. That would allowed BLFS to follow (even with the current status), by just creating a matched branch with LFS. Then at least we could have an obvious target. As it is well known, the biggest incompatibilities/breakages, come when the compiler changes to the next major release. If there is no need (to patch a package) to the first point release of gcc, quite probably there will be no need for a patch to the last point gcc release, so again quite probably the instructions could work, even if a package stayed outdated. But maybe is time to reconsider some things. We are saying that we are targeting advanced users (although sometimes I think this is an illusion), but our tools and our methods are really for novice users. A simple example. We are using "patch -Np1 -i ../fix.patch". But the same could be achieved if we were allowed to use a variable, e.g., $PATCHDIR. Similarly for sources/docs, etc... Again, and if we're not going to change a thing in the current status, we could use in the BLFS instructions, "if" statements to check for a gcc version, or a glibc version, or for a package dependency version, or look to the /etc/lfs-release, and act accordingly, e.g., applying a patch or sed, whatever..., that will allow again BLFS to follow. And another thing, that we can reconsider (although this discussion fits more in lfs-dev, so sorry). Can we break LFS in shorter chapters (at least two)? The absolutely minimum to build a C library (glibc or eglibc), the linker and the compiler? That will may allow, people with interest to build around the Linux toolchain their own stuff, without a need for (let's say vim, Bash, texinfo, tar, ...). (I'm sure the day that will see, Python Linux, or Ruby Linux, or Lua Linux is not that far away, but even today that would be quite useful guide/platform for those who build Linux embedded systems, or for those who want to build a system for a very specific job). Anyway as a conclusion and to agree with Matthew and Mike, we are living in the Linux bloated era and if this is not going to stop, soon or later we'll see a major breakage. Many habits from other proprietary operating systems invaded into Linux. Wishes and expectations from vendors are pushing into the Linux ecosystem code, that makes the life (for those they want a (c)lean system) very hard and complicated. And everyone seems to following that path. Some they dare to call it evolution though. And for BLFS that means trouble, so we might need to live with it. So, I'm not quite opponent with Randy (not to produce another BLFS release) - although I could see it as possible to make a release, if there was a release manager to take the responsibility and the burden to get out a release. But, if both Book maintainers say that there is no need for a BLFS release anymore, then at least we have to find a workable scheme, so we can give to the developers and users a clear target and don't leave them in the mist. > Regards, > > Matt.

The family that owns this hotel was absolutely delightful. They provided transfers to the port with a smile, and were so happy to share tips about the island. They went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The rooms were beautiful and spotless.
United States of America
The owners are amazing. We typically walked into town, but when they saw us, they would pick us up and take us. Brought us several desserts one night just because they couldn't meet us when we arrived. The place is very nice as well. Great view of Old Town.

Very hospitable family. The rooms are very cute, clean and comfortable. You can even view the sunset from the hotel's rooftop. Location is a little bit far from the town. But the bus stop is right outside the hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights from 18th sept. We were picked up from the airport and given welcome drinks. The hotel is well presented and great value. A short walk into town, the bus stop is also outside. Frosso brought us a cocktail on our last night and her husband dropped us at the port. We can't recommend this place enough and we will be back.

Exceptionally helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble even taking us into town when they saw us at the bus stop. Very clean Could not find nicer people Breakfast adequate for it's price
shower very small nothing else to find fault with
It is a family hotel. The staffs are very warm-hearted, enthusiastic, and helpful. They can even drive you to/from the airport or port. All is free. Though the room is a bit small, it is clean and tidy. Good position. 400m away from the airport, and 15min walk to the old port. It seems that it is a bit far away from the downtown. But it is silent at night. If you want to have a good sleep and escape from the noisy night life of Mykonos, it is a good choice. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel. It is convenient to take the bus to the beach. By the way, they feed a lovely rabbit. 老板很友善很热情。入住之前会发邮件给你确定抵达时间和途径,然后他们会去接你,虽然机场离hotel非常近。当你走的时候,提前和他们打声招呼,他们会送你到港口。当你入住时,他们会给你一张免费的地图,同时告诉你怎么去各种景点,还会推荐几家餐馆(这个就见仁见智了,选择权在自己)。房间,wifi, 早餐都中规中矩。hotel在山坡上,到主城区走路大约15分钟的距离,下坡路。但是回来的时候是上坡路。Mykonos的公路都比较窄,没发现红绿灯,车比较多,晚上还是要小心交通安全。
Very friendly and helpful owners. Clean and bright rooms. Pick up from port and drop off at airport. We occasionally have to stay on Mykonos on our way to/from other islands and have always been annoyed and dismayed at the poor and expensive accommodation on offer. However, the Milena is a real gem of a find. We will be back.
nothing-perfect for a stopover
The hotel is located 5 minutes from the airport but you'll never hear the planes due to the position. 15 minutes walking distance from the center. Bus station just across the street. Amazing courtesy and availability from the owners, nice structure, clean, beautiful, very good and free wifi, air conditioned, free service to/from the port and the airport (the owners themeselves will take you by car), excellent relation quality/price, I am not able to find a single fault. Everything was just perfect.
Impossible to find a single fault
The staff has been totally welcoming, available to help, friendly and professional, the hotel is very nice, clean, 3 minutes from the airport but you'll never hear the planes flying over your head, the bus station is just across the street from the hotel and the center of Mykonos is 15 minutes away walking.
The family who runs this hotel really takes care of their customers. They provided us with a free transfer from the airport and to our boat for the departure. The hotel is lovely and very clean.
The staff is really friendly and willing to provide help. Great to have their suggestions of restaurants and tour guides during our stay.
Better to take bus to town as taxi is always busy and not available
Staff is friendly. They picked us up at the port and dropped us at the airport free of charge. The hotel is in a central area with easy access to the different spots of the island (around 1km from Mykonos town).
Wifi was not working at our room and breakfast is not included in the price. They charge 6,5 euros per person and we considered that a bit expensive.
Friendly Staff Beautiful view Nice location
WiFi was a little slow Breakfast could be a little more comprehensive
Kindness of the staff Position Transfer service from/to airport and port Motorbike booking service
The staff was so nice and helpful. The location of the hotel is very near to the airport
Familial hotel close to the old town by scooter. Good situation. Family is really welcoming, friendly, available. They give a really good informations, nice beaches, restaurants.. The hotel is clean and the breakfast is good. I recommend this hotel :) Thank you Milena's family !
Without swimming pool
The staff is amazing including a pickup from the port and a dropoff at the airport Bus stop right at the door but buses only every 30min and dont take you to all of the beaches. Room was well decorated and spacious. Breakfast was ok.
We didnt have wifi access in our room. Far from the center if you dont have a car or a motorbike
Beatiful and charming hotel very close to the Mykonos center and the airport. We were received by a very friendly staff who made all they could to make ours a pleasant stay. I hope I can return to Milena hotel soon.
Nothing. The place is perfect.
I loved the family run business, they take pride in the hotel and impeccable service.
If I had to really pick I would say the pillow wasn't the best.
Conveniently located, close to beaches, airport and Chora city center. Peaceful and super-clean environment where you can rest after all-night-long party in Chora or at the beach clubs. Johannis and Frossos are the young and professional owners which provided us with warm welcome and smiles for the whole period we spent at the hotel, and a lovely present at time of leaving. They've also helped us finding a good scooter from a trusted rent service which delivered our brand new Piaggio directly at the hotel! Good job guys! Chris & Danilú
Breakfast could be improved.
Great service, kind staff-very accommodating, cheap breakfast, good price, comfortable rooms, well cleaned, nice bathrooms The hosts were incredibly hospitable and made note of our arrival and departure time so they could pick us up/drop us off. They were incredibly helpful and provided lots of information on how to get around. Some comments have noted that it is a "small breakfast". It is 6 Euro for a decent sized meal. There is cereal, cake, juice, coffee (with varieties), ham, bread, cheese, yoghourt, fruit salad, honey, biscuits, fruits (apples, oranges). As you can guess, it is a very reasonable breakfast considering the cost.
location I should note, the location isn't terrible, but it is slightly inconvenient. It is 15min out of town, walking downhill (25min back, walking uphill). However, be aware, roads in Mykonos have poor sidewalks and cars rarely obey pedestrian crosswalks so walking up and down the road can be very unnerving/dangerous. There is a bus stop right across the street and another one where the "Paradise" bus drops you off in front of the hotel. However, you do have to wait for these buses (about every half hour) and if you're trying to go into the town, and then traveling to other areas of the island, bus travel can add up. Remember, the only bus that picks you up here is the paradise bus, so unless you are always going to paradise beach, to get to other areas you have to take one bus into town (1.60 euro) and then another to whichever beach you're going to (1.60euro up to 4 euro for super paradise). Alternatively, you can catch the bus to paradise (1.60 euro) and take the little boat there to other beaches (5-6 euro). Also, of course, renting a vehicle or cabbing (expensive!) is also a choice. If you're willing to deal with this, it really isn't too bad. It just may be an inconvenience.
Very hospitable family oriented plAce to stay. Owners are wonderful!
Very neat, family business. Very kind people n staff. Hotel is very central, bus station right outside the hotel. A good hotel if u on a budget. Facilities are clean will definitely go back
The shower curtains I think they must put shower doors They must supply Xtra pillows. Upgrade the breakfast to varieties should not be the same everyday
Cleanliness and helpfulness. Good pickup from port and to airport next morning.
Stayed before but didn't like the position of room this time. A bit claustrophobic.

I'm wondering if there will be any Republicans left by November 2008? I was never impressed by Hastert especially when he was Speaker of the House. He was a clone of the Christian right and never again came up with a Constitutional comment.
Hastert is so eager to leave the scene of the crime that he has asked the Governor of Illinois to get some names on the Primary ballot to replace him.
Is this the end of the GOP as we know it? Has it become totally redundant to American politics? Will all these exiting Republicans simply hand over the Party to the Religious Right so we can vote them out of office once and for all? This coming 2008 election could have some meat on it finally…….

Township Library of Lower Southampton
1983 Bridgetown Pike
Feasterville, PA 19053
Dennis Stranz, MLS
Dennis Stranz, MLS
In the mid 1950's a group of enthusiastic and concerned citizens saw the need for a public library in Lower Southampton Township. These citizens with the assistance of local clubs and businesses collected books that became part of the library's original collection. The Township Library became a reality when it opened its doors on May 5, 1956 in the basement of the unused Feasterville School located on Bustleton Pike. When the library opened, there were 2,100 donated books in the collection. In 1966 the Library moved to its second location at The Lower Southampton Township Building.
In the next three decades many innovations were made at the Township Library including: establishing evening and Saturday hours, expanding Children's Programming, creating the Friends of the Library, diversifying the collection by purchasing more audio and visual materials, and the acquisition of twelve computers for public use. In the mid 1990's the Township recognized the need for a larger state of the art facility and purchased the Town and Country Warehouse located on Bridgetown Pike. After extensive renovations, the current Township Library opened on April 19, 2004. Today our library serves over 10,000 registered users, and circulates approximately 180,000 items a year. We have also added programming for adults and wireless connectivity. From a cellar in a basement of an unused school building to a modern 13,000 square foot building, the new Township Library is truly a valuable resource in our community.

Come in, come in...
Why go back home, why turn around?
The forest calls.. Can't you hear the sound?
Come in, come in...
There is nothing to lose, and everything to win;
for this, this is not like anywhere you've ever been.
Here the trees twist, the branches twine
the twigs crack, the leaves rustle.
Why decline?
You won't get far, not moving a muscle.
Don't be afraid...
You could always stay
just till darkness falls?
Move.. come on, the forest calls!
Well done...
Go on, and don't look back
Just follow the track, step by step.
No need to bring water, no need to bring bread.
For you can drink from the Creek
It's all right, go ahead
Go, eat the Berries, no need to speak
Do not delay!
Proceed, proceed
Don't believe what they told you,
about poison and deceit
For every word is untrue.
Drink, eat!
I wouldn't lie to you
Your eyelids are heavy, your legs feel like lead?
No need to keep walking
lay down for a while instead...
Wake up!
Time passes quickly, hours you slept!
And while you were sleeping, darkness has crept.
Dusk's here now, quickly gaining in power
The entire forest it will devour.
Calm down…
No need for fear, no need to feel blue
Because I swear
I'll take care of you.
Follow the lights, that is all you have to do
When searching for the exit, they will help you through!
Go ahead, go... here you can't stay...
Treacherous you say?
Why, where to else but the exit
would the lights lead the way?
Everything will be all right...
Witches you say, cruel, misleading?
Now, it is nothing for a man to be pleading
an old wive's tale.
Just follow the lights...
Come on now, go, pull yourself together!
Go, and you will see for yourself whether
when you follow the lights
everything will be all right.
Go on... good...
A House you see, hidden in the woods?
Why don't you approach.. Come on, you should!
Go, knock, and ask polite
if you can stay inside for the night.
We have been waiting for you.

Tanky lulu Noticed someone mention garrison. Been running Garrison/Revive during free week and it has been spectacularly successful.
You totally missed Garrison. Lulu is a strong defender and that'll help. Why not build Stinger before Codex? It gives much better stats and is cheaper. Malady is not a MR item, did you mean wit's end?
No, this build will not work. You'd get blown up too easy, very lacking in defensive stats and health ( and no sustain ) Tanky AP/CDR Lulu is the best build for her IMO as it lets her defend like a boss and polymorph like every 7 seconds. ( max cdr )
Yellow Jester
AD lulu is the strongest I've seen.
I don't like this build. You're trying to do two separate things - AP and on-hit - and you end up succeeding at neither. Nashor's is not a good item for any Lulu build. On-hit Lulu doesn't need CDR or AP (since her passive has no AP ratio). AP Lulu doesn't need attack speed. Forget Nashor's. For an on-hit build, you want items that provide attack speed on-hit effects, some survivability, and some AD so you aren't relying on magic damage from on-hit effects, thereby preventing the enemy from counter-building you with magic resist. Items I like to build: Malady, Wit's End, Black Cleaver, Ionic Spark, Lightbringer, Atma's, Zeke's Herald, Sanguine Blade. Nashor's is a bad item as it provides only attack speed, and no other valuable effect (CDR is not valuable to Lulu using this build). Your battle plan is to right click on your opponent and watch them die. Glitterlance slows them from escaping, Whimsy slows them and stops them from fighting back or using spells to escape, and Help Pix and Wild Growth are your "I'm taking too much damage" self-preservation abilities to buy you a couple more seconds to deal damage and kill your opponent. All of your spells are purely there to enable you to use your absurdly augmented autoattacks. For an AP build, you want as much AP as possible, enough survivability to let you get by, and either a DFG or Lich Bane to supplement your lack of a third damage spell. I like to build: sorc shoes, prospector's ring, DFG (always), deathcap, void staff or haunting guise, and finish with either abyssal sceptre or frozen heart. With DFG + Glitterlance + Pix, you can likely nuke someone for 70-90% of their health, then finish the job with ignite, or else kite them with Wild Growth and Whimsy until your cooldowns come back to finish them off.
I don't play dominion, but I always play an agressive hybrid Lulu, she owns lane and crushes towers. You don't pick up a lot of kills, but you do get tons of assists and like I said, you also get to own the lane and crush the towers... http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...emo+connection Just posted something much like this a few days ago...

Hello All! I understand that the final payment for a room must be made before special things can be booked, such as Palo, cabanas on CC, etc. My question is regarding when there are two rooms linked for a reservation. Does anyone know if you can make the final payment for just one room, then be free to book other plans for the total number of your party. Specifically, I wonder if I could pay for the room that is slated to sleep 3 of our 5, then book seats on the bus to Disney World for all 5 of us? Or if I could only book for 3... Thanks in advance if anyone knows the answer!
I believe you can add DCL transfers at any time, regardless of PIF status. (Sorry, just re-read your post and realized you are asking about the excursion to WDW, not pre or post cruise transfers.) As for excursions, dining reservations, etc....each stateroom must be PIF and I believe each stateroom books separately and only at the appropriate CC level date - if 1 stateroom is CC gold and another is new cruisers, the stateroom without a CC level will not be able to book as early as the one with gold status.

I think paided to much for this, I loved the vase that is what sold me. Since then I have found I can go to any craft store and buy a pre-bundled branch arrangement that is much fuller and looks better for about twenty buck than get a tall vase when they go on sale, I have done this twice for other room and saved a lot of money and they look fuller.
Very happy with the product. Added a nice touch to our foyer.
I really did not like this vase at all and decided not to use it
The only thing i did not like was the smell of the branches. they give off a stale smell but that is due to the branch itself, nothing we can do about it. So i just bought a pot pourri oil and dropped a few drops on it and that solves the problem. If there are any other suggestions, i would love to hear about it but this piece definitely added beautiful detail to my living room. I am already browsing for my next big piece from overstock!
Beautiful piece; nicely made. Perfect in the entryway for which it was purchased. The color of the vase itself was a little more rust than I would have preferred, but the wine colored veins of wood grain running through it brought out the wine color that I was looking for.

Hello there, I'm really having a problem with FPS drops, I played on my mac about 4 months ago everything was fine and stable at about 85 FPS. I have just returned to league since that time and now, My fps will go from 80-90 fps to about 5-9 fps in just a second and freeze my screen for 4 or 5 seconds constantly throughout the game, walking my champion wherever pathing takes it. All my settings are on "VERY LOW", V-Sync is off, fps is at "benchmark" Please if anyone has any solutions on this, respond to this thread. Thank you my mac specs: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

Global resistance to TB drugs is 'ticking time bomb'
Increasing resistance to tuberculosis drugs around the world is a "ticking time bomb", says the World Health Organization (WHO).
It estimates almost 500,000 people around the world have a type of TB which is resistant to at least two of the main types of drugs used to treat the disease.
But most are not diagnosed and are walking around spreading these more deadly strains.
More than half the cases are in China, Russia and India.
The WHO says the overall number of people developing the disease is falling, but 8.6 million people were diagnosed with TB last year, and more than a million people died from the disease.
Through the hot, winding, cramped streets of Mumbai's sprawling Dharavi slum, we have come to meet Ranjhu Zha and her family.
The family of five is crammed into a space no more than about 2 sq m.
Ranjhu sits with her son and mother on the floor.
Her mother Parvati is wearing a surgical mask.
She has what is known as an extensively drug-resistant form of TB (XDR-TB).
It is not responding to most of the main drugs used to treat the disease.
"Start Quote
End Quote Dr Ruth Mcnerny TB AlertWe're just silently watching this epidemic unfold and spread before our eyes"
She caught the disease from her 23-year-old grand-daughter Bharati, who died of TB in June.
She was resistant to two of the main drugs used to treat the condition.
"My daughter was as beautiful as a flower," says Ranjhu.
"But slowly, slowly she wasted away. I remember her always.
"But what is the point in thinking about someone who is no more? She is never coming back."
Tuberculosis is an airborne disease. It's very contagious and can spread from person to person by breathing in an infected person's germs.
The cramped conditions in places like the Dharavi slum create the perfect environment for the fast spread of TB and other diseases.
People are living cheek by jowl and there's not much ventilation.
Ranjhu says her daughter wasn't given the full course of treatment when she first developed TB, and that made her resistant to the two main types of TB drugs.
Ranjhu's mother is now getting treatment from the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres.
She says she has not been able to get the right drugs from government schemes.
Rampant misuse of antibioticsHer treatment includes painful injections every day and will last around two years.
MSF says her treatment costs somewhere in the region of $10,000 (£6,000). Standard TB treatment costs around $50.
Drug-resistant TB
- Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is caused by an organism that is resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two most potent TB drugs.
- Extensively drug resistant TB (XDR TB) is a rare type of MDR TB that is resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, plus any fluoroquinolone and at least one of three injectable second-line drugs, such as amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin).
"There are several drugs used to treat TB," says Lorraine Rebello, medical services manager at the MSF TB and HIV clinic in Mumbai.
"But when two of the primary drugs that are essential to treating TB - rifampicin and isoniazid - are no longer killing the TB bacteria, then the patient has drug-resistant TB."
The Indian government's Revised National TB Control Program aims to provide free TB treatment to every tuberculosis patient in the country.
But the WHO says out of the estimated 64,000 drug-resistant cases in India in 2012, only 16,588 were diagnosed.
Lorraine Rebello puts the rise in cases she has seen down to a number of factors.
"Start Quote
End Quote Dr Mario Raviglione Director, Global TB programme at the World Health OrganizationWhat could happen is progressively multi-drug resistant TB takes over from normal tuberculosis"
"We have a huge unregulated private sector," she says.
"We have doctors who are not properly medically qualified, like Ayurvedic doctors who are treating drug-resistant TB.
"They probably don't have the knowledge to treat the condition, but they prescribe a cocktail of drugs.
"Some patients are even going to pharmacies without prescription and buying drugs over the counter. So we are seeing a rampant misuse of antibiotics."
Dr Mario Raviglione, director of the WHO's Global TB programme, describes the situation as a public health crisis.
"What could happen is progressively multi-drug resistant TB takes over from normal tuberculosis.
"If this happens not only would millions of patients potentially die of this form of TB, but if I look at it from an economic perspective the cost of dealing with millions of potential cases is enormous."
He describes the fact that 80% of multi-drug resistant TB cases around the world are not being treated as a "ticking time bomb".
"Killing you slowly"Dr Ruth Mcnerny, senior lecturer at the London School of Tropical Medicine, who works with TB charity TB Alert, says: "We're just silently watching this epidemic unfold and spread before our eyes.
TB treatment in developing countries
- Normal TB treatment takes at least six months to treat and costs around $50 (£30)
- Multidrug-resistant TB treatment can take at least two years and costs around $2,500 (£1,500)
- Extensively drug-resistant TB can cost many thousands of dollars to treat. Estimated 45,000 cases globally
"TB is very clever because it kills you very slowly. And while it's killing you very slowly you're walking around spreading it.
"The issue of TB is if you get someone on treatment, they'll become non-infectious quite quickly.
"But if the treatment's not working because it is a drug-resistant strain, then they stay infected and they stay spreading drug-resistant TB.
"The treatment for drug-resistant TB is very, very difficult and at some stage it becomes impossible."
In India, the government says it is doing all it can to improve diagnoses and treatment.
Hanmant Chauhan heads the TB programme for the state of Maharashtra.
He says around 8,000 multi-drug resistant TB patients have been treated in the last three years.
"We are taking every step so that every TB affected person gets treatment as soon as possible," he says.
Tuberculosis symptoms
- A persistent cough, usually for more than three weeks
- Night sweats for weeks or months
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- High temperature
- Shortness of breath
"We are also trying to see that the disease doesn't spread. We are trying to make people aware about the precautions and treatment, so that the patients get the treatment and TB gets eradicated soon."
Back in Ranjhu's slum her 16-year-old son Santosh is studying for exams.
He sleeps on the floor of his tiny home with his infected grandmother and three other relatives.
He knows he is at high risk of catching this particularly deadly form of TB.
"I do feel scared but what can we do, we only have this one place to stay all together," he says.
"If she removes the mask which makes her so uncomfortable because it is so hot and stuffy here, there is always a danger we will also catch the disease."

Last week, the House Agriculture Committee voted to cut regulation of derivative transactions, and to insure that derivative transactions could take place inside FDIC insured banks. Six Democrats voted for the bill according to Gaius Publius at AmericaBlog, including Ann Kuster NH-2, one of those true progressives supported by the likes of EMILY's List. It certainly is discouraging to see the party that claims to represent the interests of everyday Americans holding hands with the banksters.

JPMorgan Chase Still Trying to Blame Individuals For Fail Whale-Related Fraud |
By: David Dayen Thursday November 1, 2012 5:58 am |
JPMorgan Chase has sued the former manager of Bruno Iskil, the "London Whale" who executed the "Fail Whale trades" that cost the company as much as $7 billion. Javier Martin-Artajo was the direct supervisor to Iskil in the Chief Investment Office in London.
JPMorgan Chase Trying to Throw Its Traders Under the Bus for Fail Whale-Related Securities Fraud |
By: David Dayen Thursday October 11, 2012 9:19 am |
JPMorgan Chase clearly wants to sell out its former traders and confine the blame to them. I never look a gift prosecution of corrupt bankers in the mouth, but the law stipulates that the top executives, including Jamie Dimon, are responsible for any fraudulent valuations delivered to shareholders. Period. Sarbanes-Oxley makes this incredibly simple. But JPMorgan has tossed the government a few bad (and small) minnows, and the government has so far taken the bait.

JPMorgan Chase Announces $5.8 Billion Fail Whale Loss to Date |
By: David Dayen Friday July 13, 2012 4:51 pm |
In an earnings statement for the second quarter of 2012, JPMorgan Chase announced that they lost $4.4 billion in Q2 on the "Fail Whale" trades out of their Chief Investment Office in London. Overall they still managed to book a $5 billion profit for the quarter.
This comes up on the low end of estimates of losses from the trades, but there are more quarters to come where they can book additional reductions.
Adventures in Corporate PR: JPMorgan Chase About to Pull Off Fail Whale Bait and Switch |
By: David Dayen Wednesday July 11, 2012 10:37 am |
Here's a classic example of how corporations manage expectations. A couple weeks ago, on the same day as the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act, the New York Times reported that JPMorgan Chase's losses from the Fail Whale trades could reach as high as $9 billion. Their sources were "people who have been briefed on the situation." I wrote at the time that "I could see how the PR strategy would be to leak a high number and back into the lower (but still awful) one, and taking that as a 'win' in the markets."
JPMorgan Chase's Precarious Position Amid Interlocking Scandals and Investigations |
By: David Dayen Monday July 9, 2012 1:30 pm |
One of the 16 banks sure to be implicated in the Libor rate-rigging scandal is JPMorgan Chase. Their submissions to Libor consistently fell on the low end of the scale, presumably fitting for what was thought to be a first tier bank, but we don't know yet what those responsible at the bank for submitting the Libor did in response to requests from traders. But we do know with a fair degree of certainty that JPM won't be particularly forthcoming about it. Is there a larger pattern?
Report: JPMorgan Chase Fail Whale Trade Losses Up to $9 Billion |
By: David Dayen Thursday June 28, 2012 11:15 am |
Let's not let this little tidbit go unremembered today. Remember when Jamie Dimon came out and said that his firm's little escapade in London cost them $2 billion? Try $9 billion.

Island of Hawaii From the International Space Station | ||
From the International Space Station, European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti (@AstroSamantha) took this photograph of the island of Hawaii and posted it to social media on Feb. 28, 2015. Cristoforetti wrote, "And suddenly as we flew over the Pacific... the island of #Hawaii with its volcanoes! #HelloEarth" Crewmembers on the space station photograph the Earth from their unique point of view located 200 miles above the surface as part of the Crew Earth Observations program. Photographs record how the planet is changing over time, from human-caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions. Astronauts have used hand-held cameras to photograph the Earth for more than 40 years, beginning with the Mercury missions in the early 1960s. The ISS maintains an altitude between 220 - 286 miles (354 - 460 km) above the Earth, and an orbital inclination of 51.6?, providing an excellent stage for observing most populated areas of the world.

I bought this car last year and have only put about 5K miles on it since. It is used mainly for long trips. The car only has 74k miles on it. I have had no problems other than the power ant stopped working and now I have to hand wash the car. Very smooth ride and strong V-8. I paid $4100 for the car and never looked back.

I love my car. I owned a Cadillac
before this one and it saved my life.
Will never own a compact car. Too many
SUV's and I travel long distances. This
car is a dream for travel and other
passengers are comfortable in the back
seat. Great features and it is a fun
car to drive.Looks great and has great
curb appeal. I agree with other
reviewer...buy used, crazy to buy new.
I did have to replace the transmission
in 2000 and other minor things that were
covered in my extended warranty. Worth
the extra money and has paid for itself.
