Hello. This is Keith, zine buyer for The Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle. I'm wondering if you offer wholesale prices to retailers for the new Gridlords anthology. I was thinking of ordering only about 6 copies for the store. Let me know if this is possible, and how it can happen. Thanks. --Keith

Important notice for all drop off location administrators
Good news! As many drop off administrators have been asking for a more convenient way to send in their shipments, the Tassimo Brigade has now moved to a UPS pick-up service system. This means drop off administrators will no longer need to bring their shipments to a post office and an extra benefit is that shipments can weigh up to 70 kilos. Labels are downloaded as usual, and the pick up is arranged by calling UPS customer service at 03457 877 877.
Please note, this means that Royal Mail free post labels are no longer valid for the Tassimo Brigade, and shipments for the Tassimo Brigade cannot be sent from any Royal Mail post offices.
Continuously, the Tassimo Brigade operates drop off locations only, and do not provide labels for individuals.
NEW MINIMUM SHIPMENT SIZEIn order to make the move to this more convenient UPS pick-up system viable and sustainable we will however need to change the minimum shipment size for receiving charity points. So as of January 1st 2015 you will need to send in a minimum of 15 kg of Tassimo waste in order to receive charity points. You can of course send in smaller shipments without receiving the charity donation.
BECOMING A PUBLIC DROP OFF LOCATIONCurrently we are unable to accept new drop off locations on the Tassimo Brigade. We hope to be able to accept new locations in the beginning of 2015.
If you are interested in becoming a drop off location, we recommend that you click on the 'Register Interest' button below and fill in the application form. When we are able to begin accepting new locations again for this Brigade, we will contact you directly.
Tassimo wants to save TDISCs and outer flow wrap packaging from going to landfill. By partnering with TerraCycle, Mondelez has saved over seven million pieces of Tassimo waste from UK landfill. As an eco-friendly innovator, TerraCycle recycles the collected used Tassimo TDISCs and packaging into useful products.
Participate in the programme by handing in your used capsules and foil packaging at one of our public drop-off points. We currently have 323 public drop-off points in the Tassimo Brigade across the UK.
You can see all the public drop-off locations by looking at the map. Open the map in a new window by clicking here.
For the total weight of the TDISCs and outer foil packaging collected, you'll be awarded TerraCycle points. If you sign up to become one of our drop-off points, then you will need to ensure that your shipment is at least 15 kilogrammes in order to receive these charity-points. Each TerraCycle point can be redeemed for a monetary contribution to the charity or school of your choice. Click here and see "How does TerraCycle count the waste that my community collects so as to allocate my charity?" to find out how totals are calculated.
Becoming a public drop-off administrator in the Tassimo Brigade is totally free! There are no sign up or participation fees, and the shipping is covered by the programme. If you are interested in becoming a public location please click on the black button to fill out an application.
To participate in the Brigade is very easy. Simply follow the steps below:
1. Set up your public collection box in a suitable location. Supermarkets, independent shops, community centres, libraries make good locations where your community can submit their Tassimo waste. Please note, you need to send shipments that weigh at least 15 kg (approximately 890 TDISCs/outer foil packaging) in order for your account to be credited 2 TerraCycle points for the weight of each unit received. You can send in less than 15 kg but you won't receive any TerraCycle points for the shipment.
2. Download a pre-paid shipping label from terracycle.co.uk and attach it to your box. To acquire a pre-paid label, simply access your TerraCycle account online, and click "CREATE FREE POSTAGE LABEL".
3. Order a pick-up via UPS by calling 03457 877 877, and UPS will collect at your location.
For more detailed information please check out the Tassimo FAQs.
Check out the image below to see some examples of the types of waste that are accepted through this Brigade program. You can also download this as a poster.
Tassimo Brigade accepted waste:
- Tassimo TDISCs of any size
- Tassimo Flow-wrap packaging of any size

Lyudmila Purgina
A.Blok, Autumn dances - translation (rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina
By Alexander Alexandrovich Blok
translated from russian
To excite me again and again -
That's your inner and secret such will.
And the Pleasure waits for words sacred -
And the golden fabric now ready,
So that my soul would laugh in the real.
And the Autumn is smiling through tears,
Up to heavens my pray is forthflying.
Behind the lace of the lean birch so near
The golden pipe started singing aloud.
I can't help stop admiring the sounds,
So transparent, as if that's your voice, dear
But you're silent with uprised hands pose,
With your hands, pointed to zenith.
And your rounded hands are in tremble,
From white shoulders the flows downfall;
Behind you they would play a round dancing -
The autumn girls in embroidered cloths.
Washed by drizzles, you'd let hair down.
The golden locks had uncurled under water,
And the ring of the round dancing was broken
In ravine, where they played so joyously.
And excited with music of water,
I can't stop singing, dancing with you.
All the fields and the ravines are also
Cannot stop burning under your foot.
Come to us, come with us - a light-winged youth,
We are destined to fly in the air...
Where from do we take our Pleasure soon?
Where from will the Silence come near?
That's the silence of dying cereals -
That's the light time in world coming day:
That's the dream, with the special signs filled,
That will pass now as yesterday.
What would mean a flying through the time, desires? -
Only splashes of girl's hands, not other -
On the earth, on the green meadow is turning
The unseparable joyous circle round.
And the sun, being untidal, won't break ever
The rest of Silence or once anger it.
Won't forget the wood grass of the temper,
It will never forget such a spring.
And the snowflakes at the ravine's slopes
Will sweep, fill up the edges completely.
There, where the water is flowing,
There, where is the dancing and willing.

Rescuers rushed to find victims buried by twin shallow earthquakes in northwest China Monday after the double tremors killed 73 people and injured almost 600, officials said. At least 89 people are confirmed dead in the wake of a powerful quake in China's remote Gansu province Monday morning, with five missing and thousands of others left homeless. The majority of the dead were from Minxian county, reported Xinhua. At least 515 people were injured and 60 remained in serious condition as of Tuesday. A total of eight towns were hit by the quake in both Minxian and Zhangxian counties, located about 105 miles southeast of the provincial capital of Lanzhou. More from GlobalPost: Powerful earthquake hits China's Gansu province "Many have been injured by collapsed houses," said a Minxian county doctor surnamed Du, according to Reuters. "Many villagers have gone to local hospitals along the roads." Xinhua reports that 422 aftershocks had been recorded in the earthquake-afflicted region by Monday evening, with the strongest measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale. Aftershocks can trigger deadly landslides, and officials are warning locals to stay away from steep mountains, said a Reliefweb report. Thousands of government officials, police officers, and soldiers have been deployed to Gansu to aid in rescue and recovery efforts, reports Bloomberg, which gave a death toll of 94. According to Bloomberg, the quake has so far injured 1,001 people and damaged or destroyed over 127,000 homes in the region.

THE CONNECTION The Newsletter of the Capital City Corvette Club VOLUME XXXVIII-NUMBER 4-APRIL 2008 GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING April 2, 2008 7:00 pm 2008 Officers Deli Café-Holt John Bechtel President Rich Bratschi Vice President/Governor BOARD MEETING Gary Wyma Competition Director April 16, 2008 Carol Putmon Treasurer 6:30 pm Sandy Bechtel Secretary Delhi Café-Holt Kathy Wyma Social Director Bob Maynard Public Relations Director Colleen Bratschi Membership Director Please send any articles you would like to have Carrie Hutton published to: editor @ cccorvette.org Points Director Chris Burke Editor From the President For what it's worth "April showers bring May flowers…", no, April showers wash the salt off the roads (or what's left of the roads after this winter) so we can drive our cars in relative peace of mind. Maybe considering the general condition of the roads this year we should supplement the Low Speed Training Course with an Off Road Driving Course. Don't think of them as potholes, think of them as cones and have some fun. By the time you read this, March will be gone and we'll being staring spring squarely in the eye. Our heads full of thoughts of getting the car back on the road and maybe even beginning those modification projects we've been saving money for all winter, yeah right. Someone at church asked if I was even going to get the Corvette out this year considering the high cost of gas predicted for this summer. They were somewhat surprised when I explained that the Corvette is the best mileage car we own and I wish I had it out now. I just got off the phone making arrangements for the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival/Parade. We got a great response to the sign-up sheet at the March meeting and we'll have it available again at the April meeting for anyone who didn't see it last month. If you're interested but can't make the meeting, just contact Sandy or me at 517.482.9584 or jbecht @ sbcglobal.net. For those of you who may not have beet to Vermontville with the club in the past, it's a blast. The town of Vermontville really does itself proud with a wonderful festival full of art and craft booths, carnival rides, and various displays and about as many motorcycles as you want to see in one place. There are several places to eat in town but my favorite is the pancake breakfast put on by the area Fire Dept. at the firehouse. The parade itself is quite an experience, the people along the parade route are so close you can almost touch them and they really enjoy the Corvettes. For more information see the event flyer in the newsletter or on the web site. Rain or shine it's a great time and we hope to see as many of you as can make it. I know I've said this before but I want to reiterate that this is our clubs fiftieth anniversary year and while I know we all have a lot on our plate I hope you can all find some time to spend with the club this year. I know that some of our past members still keep up with the club through the web site and I hope you will all consider joining us at some of the events. It's always great to see old friends and renew old acquaintances. You are all invited and always welcome.

This is a club tradition started a few years ago by Dave and Diana Kuempel and it is really a lot of fun. The Parade starts at 2:00 pm but we must have the cars in line by noon. We will be leading a caravan of cars from the Quality Dairy on west Saginaw just west of the I-96 overpass leaving about 8:30 am. The parade will be forming on Ionia Rd (N Main St) north of Gresham St and the caravan will be taking M-43 (W Saginaw Hwy) west to Ionia Rd and south (left) to the parade staging area. One of the highlights of this festival is a pancake breakfast at the Vermontville fire house so we try to get in line early for that. For those of you who haven't been before, there are craft shows, carnival rides and just about anything else you can associate with a small town rural festival. We will also be caravanning from Vermontville to Hastings after the parade to eat dinner at The Mexican Connexion restaurant. We will be arriving at the restaurant sometime between 3:30 and 4:00 pm if you can't make the parade but want to join us for dinner. If you're interested and available for this opportunity to exercise your car and of course eat, please let John or Sandy Bechtel know at 517.482.9584 or email jbecht @ sbcglobal.net (not necessary if you signed up at the March or April meeting). We hope to see you all there. Date: April 26, 2008 Meeting Times & Locations: 8:30 Quality Dairy 8512 W. Saginaw, Lansing 12:00 Vermontville Line-up Ionia Road / N.

Michigan Region Awards Banquet The Michigan Region Awards Banquet was held on March 15 held at Sullivan's Black Forest Brew Haus in Frankenmuth. If you didn't go, you missed a great time! The day began at 2:00 with a walking rallye that provided a tour of Frankenmuth and the stops at many shops where you learned the steps to making fudge and taffy, amongst other things. The winners were announced at the banquet and received the cost of their dinners as their prize ($70!). Simon and I stayed at a hotel in town. We were surprised when we came out of our room to get a bite to eat before dinner (yes, Simon is ALWAYS hungry) to see Art and Nancy coming into the hotel. It turned out that our hotel was one of the stops on the walking rallye. We ran into several other participants on our walk down to the restaurant. You can see more pictures on the CCCC Web page. There were over 90 in attendance. Everyone that attended received a door prize of some kind, be it a flash light, bath oil or something REALLY big. All-in-all they had more than $4,000 in door prizes! Our club donated a $30 Meijer gift card which was won by Rich Shatkosky. Simon won a denim shirt with the Michigan Region logo on it and I won $30. (I'd say we almost broke even on the dinner!) Major door prizes included racing tires, two sets of brakes, and a beautiful yellow Corvette pedal car with the Cauley Race team logo. Our guest speaker was Tony De Lorenzo. Tony was on the Owens Corning racing team during his career and presented a very interesting slide show with highlights of racing career. We would encourage you all to attend next year. It gives you a chance to meet and get to know other Michigan Region NCCC members (and it could wind up costing you nothing!).—Gloria Reiffer Upcoming Corvette Events Are you looking for a spring or summer get-away?

Reprinted here with the permission of AutoWeek Magazine The Keys, Please By DON KLEIN With its 6.2-liter, 430-hp LS3 V8 and estimated top speed of 190 mph, the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette convertible theoretically can whisk you from Miami to Key West in about 50 minutes. Factor in real-world obstacles such as stop signs, traffic and the Florida Highway Patrol, and the 160-mile trip stretches to about three hours. But to enjoy the journey fully, you'd be wise to allow at least two days. The Florida Keys are remarkable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the series of bridges that links them, allowing this to be a road trip instead of a boat trip. Route 1 (a.k.a. the Overseas Highway) officially opened for business in 1938. Much of it was built on the skeletons of its ancestors, primarily the remains of bridges originally constructed for the Overseas Railroad, which was largely destroyed in the Labor Day hurricane of 1935. The entire highway was essentially rebuilt in the 1980s, but many artifacts still can be seen. The rusting remnants of the original Seven Mile Bridge running parallel to its spectacular replacement provide an eerie monument to the pioneers who built the "Highway That Goes to Sea." For the avid road-tripper, the secret to enjoying Route 1 is getting off Route 1. Many first-time visitors are surprised to discover that at any given point, they're just minutes from either the Atlantic Ocean (on the left if you're heading west) or the Florida Bay. In fact, Route 1 runs so close to the water that it's common for restaurants with entrances on the highway to have rear decks that abut the bay, making for spectacular sunset dinners. Naturally, the Keys abound in water-based activities--fishing, snorkeling, diving, sailing, kayaking, swimming and glass-bottom-boat tours. But you also can have fun along Route 1 without getting wet. For example, at Sugarloaf Key, you can take an ultra light aerial tour and maybe (no promises, folks) get to do some 0-to-60-mph testing on the old airstrip. If you go The whole idea is to be flexible, so instead of making reservations before you go, you might want to wait until you're there and have found an area where you'd like to spend the night. The exception is Key West: It's always busy there, so do reserve ahead. We suggest overnighting in Key Largo. If you leave Miami (or the airport) in the late afternoon, you still can get there in time for a sundowner, with plenty of time the next day to explore as you continue on your way to Key West. A mile marker (MM) system, with 0 in downtown Key West, makes everything in the Keys easy to find. Recommended Key Largo hotels Expensive: Key Largo Grande (www.keylargogrande.com), MM 97. A full luxury resort with two restaurants and a boat-rental facility and marina. Not überluxe but close. Moderate: Ocean Pointe Key Largo (www.opsuites.com), MM 92.5. Check for online specials before you go. Best Key Largo restaurant This one is easy: Sundowners (www.sundownerskeylargo.com), MM 104. Multiple award winner for both food and view. Start with a mango daiquiri, followed by the Key Lime Seafood entree. You'll definitely know you're on vacation. Best tarpon feeding Robbie's of Islamorada (www.robbies.com), MM 77.5. Eighteen years ago, the owner rescued an injured tarpon, nursed it back to health and released it. The next year, "Scarface" returned with 30 of his best friends. For a couple of bucks, you can feed them from the dock. Best feel-good activity Turtle Hospital (www.turtlehospital.org), MM 48.5. Sea turtles are an endangered species. See how a band of dedicated volunteers is helping them survive. For a small donation, you can adopt a turtle, either in person or online. Best lunch No Name Pub, (305) 872-9115, North Watson Boulevard, MM 30.2. Since 1935, more than 90,000 visitors have stapled dollar bills to the walls (and ceiling, rafters and doorjambs). Fresh seafood and gigantic pizzas. Best out-of-water experience Highside Ultralights (www.keywestfloats.com), MM 17. If you're going to try this, you might as well go up with a stunt pilot who's been flying since the age of seven.

It's Official: DC Comics' Original Green Lantern is Gay
June 1, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, former HRC Digital Media Specialist
As many speculated, Alan Scott – the original Green Lantern – has been reintroduced as gay.
Before DC's recent multi-series reboot, Scott was an older superhero with a gay son, Obsidian. Now, he's a younger man with his own gay storyline.

San Francisco Structures
Two big hospital projects make major progress
Update: Hospitals
- Chris Rauber
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
Two of San Francisco's three giant hospital construction projects, the new UCSF Medical Center campus at Mission Bay and the new inpatient structure at San Francisco General Hospital & Trauma Center, are making tangible progress.
But the third, California Pacific Medical Center's planned new $1.9 billion Cathedral Hill hospital and medical office complex, is still stuck in the city's entitlement and approvals process.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has yet to weigh in on the 555-bed Van Ness Avenue and Geary Street complex, which would replace inpatient services now offered at CPMC's Pacific Heights campus and include a large medical office building.
"The plan is to go before the (full) Board of Supervisors in July," said Kathie Graham, a spokeswoman for CPMC and parent Sutter Health's West Bay operations. As of press time, the plan was scheduled to go before the Board of Supervisor's Land Use Committee on June 15.
The San Francisco Planning Commission gave a go-ahead to the controversial project in early April.
CPMC CEO Warren Browner, M.D., and Sutter have been attempting for years to get Cathedral Hill out of the planning and prep stages and into construction, but opposition from community groups concerned about traffic, noise, public transit and affordable housing, and unions that don't like Sutter and want it to change its labor policies, have stymied those efforts. As a result, CPMC is already running out of time to meet a January 2014 seismic deadline, and will undoubtedly need another extension from state officials.
Things are looking much better at UCSF Mission Bay, where 80 percent of the new $1.52 billion hospital structure's exterior panels and glass have been installed and the interior "is taking shape with the installation of stud-framed walls," said spokeswoman Karin Rush-Monroe. Construction of the 289-bed facility is slated for completion in August 2014, and the new women's, children's and specialty cancer hospital is set to open in February 2015, officials said.

In Duclair today, I toured the Saint-Wandrille abbey. No one was allowed to go inside, for fear of disturbing the nuns. Abbeys always worried me. So quiet. After we(it's not a private cruise)toured some abbey ruins, without the nuns, so I could breathe without freaking ...

Okay, poo it! Be gone with the budget! I just arrived at the cruise docking station and the taxi cost me €289.58! Oh well, the cruise is seven days, so I think I'll just relax; no more jumping around from place to place! The cruise cost €1324.65 and begins in Honfleur, France. Yes, expensive, but everything is already planned out for me. So I can actually take a break! That's what vacations are about, ...

Not sure where we are right at the minute, we were due to visit north east France, Lille and the Somme area. That is out of the question now. What is also unlikely is that we will be on the plane home on Friday. At this point Dad is not well enough to travel.

Hello from here, too! I'm the guy who sent you email and asked compatibility with Ad Block Edge! Truly thank you for your fast response and act!
As for the guy below, just ignore him. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know how this add-on works. It does the job more than perfectly. Solid add-on. If you don't know much, just set "allow all" and block manually the pages you want, as I do ( although I doubt you know how to do it correctly ). Currently I've 7 sites I visit which appear these nasty popups. Even more simple, get the right lists on your Ad Block Edge/Plus and set it to "Handle Popups using Ad Block Edge".
First and foremost, stop rating 1 star when you clearly don't know what is going on. It's unfair for the developer and his efforts. If it truly doesn't work, then rate accordingly. When you see everyone rating 5 stars and you're the only one with 1 star... If I was in your shoes, I'd be wondering, "what's wrong with me?"

Not quite as small as Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Pygmy'
Are there any juniper cultivars hiding out there that aren't quite as small as Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Pygmy'?
Its seams like you have this mini and then all the mounding/groundcover types jump up to 4-5' wide over 10' years even for what I can find as the slower growing types.
I am not so sure what you are looking for is out there.
You want something that is larger then 'Blue Pygmy' but slow enough that it doesn't in 10 years jump to 4-5 ft. in spread?
You can, for years, keep spreading/ mounding junipers in check with selective pruning. The key word here is selective. Know what you want to achieve with this cultivar then make your cuts accordingly.
It's a common practice that I use for my small islands. Also applies to other Genus/species cultivars. I have kept some in check for years that if left to free range would have taken over my whole island and in the yard making an impossible situation to deal with.
Dave, I had a feeling that was the case so I likely have to go with the mid sized junipers. Looks like a gap in the market!
Are you typically cutting back those longest shoots similar to the fork pruning they do for spruces?
I'll end up going with the procumbens 'Nana' for a green selection, 'Gold Strike' for gold but need to find a blue selection beyond 'Blue Star'.
