MeriTalk, a public-private partnership focused on improving the outcomes of government IT, today announced the results of its new report, "The Drive to Thrive: Ensuring the Agile Data Center." The study, underwritten by Symantec, reveals that while 80 percent of Federal IT professionals cite data center reliability as a top priority for their agency, very few are completely confident in their ability to meet their most critical uptime and failover service level agreements (SLAs). The impact is significant, as 42 percent of Federal field workers state that downtime leaves them unable to support their agency's mission.
The "Drive to Thrive" report surveyed two audiences – Federal field workers (employees who spend at least 50 percent of their time in the field/away from a Federal office) and Federal data center leads/professionals. The study examined field workers' reliance on real-time information in comparison to Federal IT teams' ability to deliver the right information resources to the right users – even in a business continuity scenario.
Federal field workers note that real-time information access is critical – saving them an average of 17 hours per week, or 816 hours per year. Considering the number of field workers in the U.S. government, that equates to approximately $32.5 billion in annual productivity savings. But in the last month, 70 percent of agencies have experienced downtime of 30 minutes or more, and 90 percent of field workers say the downtime affected their ability to do their job. Security could also be at risk, as one in three field workers use personal devices or work-arounds like Google Apps when they are not able to access agency applications and systems.
Thirty-six percent of field workers give their IT department a grade of "C" or lower for recent downtime management, and just 29 percent believe their IT department fully understands the impact downtime has on their ability to work.
"Federal field workers are dependent on instant information access to do their jobs – from food inspection and traffic control, to healthcare and disaster aid," said Rob Potter, vice president, Federal, Symantec. "Agile data centers – that optimize storage and ensure 24x7 availability, while accelerating virtualization and cloud adoption – are critical for efficient government operations and service."
Federal IT professionals certainly recognize the challenge, with 69 percent saying that downtime of more than 30 minutes is unacceptable and only 23 percent giving their agency's data centers an "A" for effectively delivering the right information and resources to the right users on a daily basis.
While nearly three-quarters of IT professionals say their agency has improved their data center reliability over the past two years, just 19 percent are fully confident in their department's ability to meet their most critical application SLAs. In addition, 31 percent say their agency either does not have a continuity of operations (COOP) plan or that their current plan is insufficient.
So what's holding agencies back? Federal IT professionals say they only have 56 percent of the data storage, 52 percent of the computational power, and 45 percent of the personnel they need to provide a truly reliable and agile data center. They cite greater bandwidth, security, and senior leadership support as the top factors in improving data center agility.
"Nobody's going to give up their umbrella if the roof keeps leaking," said Stephen O'Keeffe, founder, MeriTalk. "The mission trumps IT savings. FDCCI is DOA unless DCs are G2G."
"The Drive to Thrive: Ensuring the Agile Data Center" is based on two online surveys conducted in June 2014. The first surveyed 152 Federal field workers with a margin of error of ±7.92% at a 95% confidence level. The second surveyed 150 Federal IT professionals familiar with their agency's data centers, with a margin of error of ±7.97% at a 95% confidence level.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Dolomites to Paris
Today we woke early to have breakfast before our taxi came to take us to the train station. We were running a tad late due to the overly relaxed concierge and when we arrived at the station were in trouble for being only 2 mins early for the bus. To add to the pressure we had to pay the taxi driver the fee of €25 which would have been fine if we had the cash or had time to go to the ATM. Instead we had a €10 note and coins adding up to another €10. He ...
The Dolomites Day 2
... t moving from right here'. At the top we found a nice restaurant with a 360 panoramic view of the mountain. We had a 'heart attack but delicious' hot chocolate and a fruit and custard slice that was very yummy! We were very lucky as it was another spectacular day - blue skies, scattered clouds, hardly any wind - Perfect! We took some photos and then took the cable car back down the mountain. We skied for a bit more before stopping for lunch outside in the ...
The Dolomites
Today was our first day on the slopes. We had breakfast and went downstairs to the ski hire shop below the reception of the hotel. They had said in an email that they had clothes for hire but when we got there it was extremely limited. There were two big one piece snow suits, some massive snow pants, a few extra large jackets and that was about it. They also looked like they had come out of the 90s. I was sure it was just lost property that ...
Venice to the Dolomites
... took a good 30minutes to arrive! Eventually we got our ski passes and jumped in a taxi to our hotel. We were wondering just how much it was going to cost! I was hoping less that €50! Luckily it only came to €25 so I was pretty happy about that and the taxi driver was great, telling us all about the area. The hotel was lovely, a huge spacious room and a fantastic view of the mountains. What more could you ...
When in Rome
... my eyes - it was unbelievable. After craning our necks we decided it was time to leave this masterpiece and visit St. Peter's Basilica. After waiting in line for 1h staring at this gigantic building and listening to the Christmas carols (I think they are dragging the celebrations out a tad too long) the anticipation was building. There is no other word to say it...this Basilica was beyond WOW!!! Made entirely of marble with beautiful statues, artwork and all the ...

Steve Trevino
Comedian Steve Trevino was born in Portland, Texas, on the Third Coast. He now resides on the West Coast in Hollywood, California, living the dream that he has had since childhood, being a stand up comedian. His professional career began in 1998 in Corpus Christi, Texas, with none other than Carlos Mencia. Soon after that, Trevino was off to Dallas with a star in his eyes. It was there that his first big road tour came about with The Three Amigos comedy tour, and then came Los Angeles.
Since moving to California, Trevino has been on the road headlining improv comedy clubs across the country. When at home, you can catch him at the Improv, the Comedy Store, Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, and at the Laugh Factory to name a few. Trevino was also involved on screen in season one of Mind of Mencia. One of Trevino's biggest gigs was The Doghouse Comedy Jam in San Francisco with names like Carlos Mencia, Dave Attell, Dave Chappelle, and Jamie Foxx. He is currently working with Rozone Productions and Free Reign, the Dallas Cowboys heavy metal band, collaborating on a comedy special for Showtime.
Hot off the press, Trevino and writer Brian Hartt have teamed up for a sitcom project with producers David Himelfarb and Vic Kaplan. The script is written and the production companies are lining up to see Trevino. Stay tuned for the shows to be airing soon.
Jason Rogers
Jason Rogers of Standup Guy Productions presents American Me Comedy!
Jason's uniquely Yankee American upbringing as an adopted Korean kid in Mr. Roger's white picket fence neighborhood of New Boston, New Hampshire gave him a distinctive "slant" on life, now put to hilarious use in his stand-up routines. The self-proclaimed "Caucasian Asian" put it this way in his "Go pak ya ca" wicked thick New England accent, "I created the show to incorporate all kinds of comedians. I wanted to stay away from an all Asian, white, black, purple, blue themed show." American Me Comedy, will be an evening of the best stand up comedy featuring today's hottest working comics from all walks of life - race, color, religion, sexual orientation - sharing their unique and hilarious perspectives on life experiences.

Most people here are not sure what a plant swap is and I would be thrilled to have some of the faithful GardenWeb swappers come helpo me introduce the locals to these awesome gardening events. Please come if you are able and if your not able please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that my first job at hosting one isn't a complete flop. Thanks in advance.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rhea County Plant Swap Info
I'm just seeing this post now, June 16. I didn't even realize the exchanges section was here until I saw it pointed out in a post on the regular forum. I am in the area (near Birchwood) and would have loved to come if I had known in time. How did it turn out and will you be planning more?
I am also just seseing this swap idea on this parft of the board. We are fairly new to the area and loive in Soddy Daisy near the Possum Creek Campground. Love plants and do have a couple of plants to share whenever the next swap takes place. Have a couple of native columbines and maybe some asiatic lilies. This group sounds like a lot of fun and since I love flowers, it would be a good match. Cheryl

Five Gifts You Should Never Give A Co-Worker
Could you imagine getting lingerie from a co-worker? Surprise!
Could you imagine getting lingerie from a co-worker? Surprise!
Maybe this has happened to you too this weekend. You're in an actual store, holding a hot Christmas item in your hands, and you think, "Eh, I can probably find it cheaper online." And you put the toy back and leave the store, and you don't find it cheaper online. Christmas shopping crisis!
Hows the Black Friday shopping going?
I love saving money, and I use coupons on almost everything. If it's not on sale or I don't have an extra 20 percent off coupon, I don't buy it. Unless it's coffee. Gotta have that at all costs.
I've already messed up this money-saving adventure called Black Friday, and here's how.
This is my second Thanksgiving as a single lady. My ex and I ended things in the summer of 2013, and with three kids it's been important to us to get along and maintain a good relationship, and let it evolve into something new.
It's not the turkey that's the problem on Thanksgiving Day. If you're a calorie counter, there are two things on your plate that really make the calorie tally tick up in a hurry. Ya gonna eat 'em anyway?
Wednesday will be one of the busiest travel days of the year, and it's not just carloads of people headed to Grandma's house who will be on the road. State troopers will be out there too, watching for speeders, drunk drivers, and those who aren't wearing seat belts.
An excellent way to get into the Christmas spirit is by attending a Christmas Parade!
Although there is rain in the forecast with a chance of severe weather for part of Saturday for East Texas, there's also snow in the forecast for one downtown street in Kilgore on Sunday!
Blinn College is a small school in Brenham, about an hour and a half outside of Houston. After a male student was murdered there last month, police are asking for tips as they try to figure out who killed him. And there's a reward in the case now.
Up until now, if an inmate in a Texas prison wanted to get married, someone else had to stand in for the prisoner during a ceremony held somewhere outside the prison.
That's about to change.
When you believe, magical things can happen aboard the Polar Express!
Last year just a handful of people signed up for health insurance on the first day of the national open enrollment period, and this year as signups began on Saturday, the federal government says 100,000 people signed up.
The open enrollment period this year is a lot shorter, so don't be caught by surprise.

'Girls' Review: 'Ask Me My Name'Britt Hayes March 1, 2015 @ 8:30 PM
Manipulation, resentment and deceit are the central conceits at the heart of this week's Girls. Hannah attempts to be friends with Adam, and this overture is both genuine and disingenuous at the same time, highlighting the conflicting emotions that go into such well-meaning and painful post-break-up trials. And while Lena Dunham's anxiety-ridden performance captures the vast array of emotions during this period, it's Gillian Jacobs' exceptionally complex performance as Mimi-Rose that ultimately steals the show, proving the hinge around which Adam and Hannah pivot.


text: The The Birth of ...the Gibbon wiki last edited by pikahyper on 12/12/14 04:29PM View full history Spider-Man faces off against the Gibbon!At the start of this issue, Spider-Man is feeling frustrated, since he saved Flash Thompson's life in the previous issue, only to find out that Flash Thompson also likes Gwen Stacy. He calms down for a minute when he remembers that in the process of saving Flash he took some photos which he can sell, when he realizes that he forgot to set up his camera. Spider-Man is so frustrated that he throws his camera away, before realizing how expensive it is. Fortunately, a man called Martin Blank catches the camera, and then makes his way up to the rooftop Spider-Man's on, being just as agile as him. However, upon Spider-Man thanking Martin and talking to him, Martin gets depressed at how he's a nobody compared to Spider-Man, and how he looks like a monkey.After Spider-Man leaves, Martin thinks back to how he used he's been agile all his life, but was teased constantly at the orphanage where he lived for his appearance. After he left the orphanage, Martin managed to get a job with a circus, but despite his superior agility, didn't get a job which made use of his skills. After getting his first and only pay cheque, Martin then left the circus, taking along the monkey suit that was part of his act on a whim. In the present, Martin thinks about how meeting Spider-Man has given him an idea.Meanwhile, Spider-Man changes to Peter Parker, and then heads home. Upon seeing how bruised he is, Aunt May (who is visiting) starts to worry about Peter, before Gwen reminds her that she had promised to stop being so maternal (in the previous issue). Aunt May then leaves, and Peter collapses from exhaustion, since he hasn't slept for days. At that point Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson come in, but upon seeing Peter unconscious they agree that Flash should take Gwen home, since all Peter needs is rest. Peter briefly wakes up and sees Gwen and Flash leaving, before falling back asleep and having a nightmare.When Peter wakes up, he realises that Gwen telling Aunt May not to be so maternal with Peter might not have been the smartest move. He then calls up Aunt May, but Aunt May doesn't reply. Peter then changes to Spider-Man and goes to check up on Aunt May and make sure she's alright, but encounters Martin Blank along the way, who is wearing his monkey suit and calling himself the Gibbon. Martin then offers to be Spider-Man's partner, which Spider-Man laughs his head off at. Martin gets sick of always being laughed at, and attacks Spider-Man. Spider-Man easily evades Martin's attacks before leaving, which sets Martin bursting into tears, thinking he's no good for anything. As Martin keeps sobbing, a mysterious shadow nearby thinks how he will use the Gibbon to cause the death of Spider-Man.

Good product, shame about the label" by Helen
I was delighted to receive this as a stocking filler. My one gripe, though, is that the label is impossible to remove. Even your excellent Sticky stuff remover doesn't budge it.
A note from the team: Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry that the label is proving troublesome to get off the item and will be in touch shortly. Prolonged soaking in hot water should work. Any residue glue can then be rubbed off with your finger.

Landscapes A landscape is a region on Earth's surface. (See p. 2 of your reference table) What are the three types of landscapes? Mountains Plateaus Plains What causes the formation of landscapes? Climate Bedrock Local Human Activities. How do we determine what type of landscape it is? On the basis of – Gradient – Elevation – Rock Structure Landscapes are divided into three major types mountains, plains and plateaus Mountain Characteristics – High Elevation – Distorted Rock Structure Due to convergent plate movement, faults, folds and volcanic rock Plateau Characteristics – High Elevation – Rock is not distorted – Formed by agents or erosion Plain Characteristics – Low Elevation – Level Surface with very little change in slope Picture A represents a mountain Picture B represents a plateau Picture C represents a plain Factors of Landscape Development Uplifting Forces – Originate beneath or within Earth's lithosphere. They displace and form new rock material to raise the land. Leveling forces – Erosion and weathering the landscape will be lowered Impact Craters – The collision of meteorites, asteroids and comets has been a major contributor to landscapes. Climate – The rate of development and the characteristics of landscapes in an area are greatly influenced by temperature and moisture conditions. Arid Climate In arid climates, there is little vegetation to hold the sediments in place on steeper slopes or at the bases of the slopes so wind and running water can rapidly carry sediments away. This rapid removal of sediments causes many arid regions to have steep slopes and sharp, angular landscape features. Humid Climate In humid climates, sediments on hillslopes and at the bases of hillslopes, are better held in place by vegetation. Areas of humid climates are characterized by the smooter and more rounded landscape features. Effects of Climate on Landscape Development (see p. 308 in your regent review book) Picture A represents a humid climate Picture B represents a dry, arid climate Drainage Patterns Over time, a stream system achieves a particular drainage pattern to its network of stream channels and tributaries as determined by local geologic factors. Their shape or pattern develops in response to the local topography and subsurface geology Dendritic Pattern A dendritic drainage What it looks like pattern is the most common form and looks like the branching pattern of tree roots. It develops in regions underlain by sedimentary rocks and lava flow with similar resistance to weathering. Trellis Drainage Trellis drainage What it looks like patterns look similar to their namesake, the common garden trellis. Trellis drainage develops in folded topography like that found in the Appalachian Mountains of North America. Radial Drainage The radial drainage What it looks like pattern develops around a central elevated point. This pattern is common to such conically shaped features as volcanoes. The tributary streams extend the headward reaches upslope toward the top of the volcano Annular Drainage Annular drainage is What it looks like found in areas of domed structure with much difference in rock resistance Forms when layers of rock are uplifted into a dome or down-warped into a basin Lab Activity #12, Landscapes, July 28, 2010 Pleasecomplete lab activity #12: Landscapes.

Lund (Swedish pronunciation: [lɵnd] ( )) is a city in the province of Scania, southern Sweden. The town has 82,800 inhabitants in 2010,[1] out of a municipal total of 110,824. It is the seat of Lund Municipality, Skåne County. The city is believed to have been founded around 990, when Scania belonged to Denmark. It soon became a major Christian center of the Baltic Sea region, at a time when the area was still a frontier area for Christian mission, and within Scandinavia and especially Denmark through the Middle Ages. From 1103 it was the seat of an archbishop. At the center of the city stands the towering Lund Cathedral, built ca 1090–1145.
Lund University, established 1666, is today one of Scandinavia's largest institutions for education and research.[2][3][4]
Along with Sigtuna, Lund is the oldest city in present-day Sweden. Lund's origins are unclear. Until the 1980s, the town was thought to have been founded around 1020 by either Sweyn I Forkbeard or his son Canute the Great of Denmark.[5] The area was then part of the kingdom of Denmark. But, recent archaeological discoveries suggest that the first settlement dated to circa 990, possibly the relocation of settlers at Uppåkra. The Uppåkra settlement dates back to the first century B.C.[6] and its remains are at the present site of the village of Uppåkra. King Sweyn I Forkbeard moved Lund to its present location, a distance of some five kilometres (3.1 miles). The new location of Lund, on a hill and across a ford, gave the new site considerable defensive advantages in comparison with Uppåkra, situated on the highest point of a large plain.
The city was made a see in 1048 and united with Dalby in 1060,[7] and in 1103 became the seat of the archbishop for Scandinavia. The diocese of nearby Dalby was absorbed in 1066. Lund Cathedral was similarly founded in or shortly after 1103. In 1152, the Norwegian archdiocese of Nidaros was founded as a separate province of the church, independent of Lund. In 1164 Sweden also acquired an archbishop of its own, although he was nominally subordinate to the archbishop of Lund. It is still, as the diocese of Lund, a diocese in the Church of Sweden.
Lund Cathedral School (Katedralskolan) was founded in 1085 by the Danish king Canute the Saint. This is the oldest school in Scandinavia and one of the oldest in Northern Europe. Many prominent people were educated there, among them the actor Max von Sydow and several high-ranking politicians.
In 1658, the Scanian lands were ceded by Denmark to Sweden by the Treaty of Roskilde. On December 4, 1676 Lund was defended in the Battle of Lund, one of the bloodiest battles fought in Scandinavia.
Lund University, established in 1666, is Sweden's largest, with 42,000 full or part-time students, although not all live in Lund. The figure includes Lund Institute of Technology, which is to some extent independent of the old university. As late as the 1940s, Lund was a relatively small city with few large-scale industries, covering only about a quarter of the current urban area, and dominated by the cathedral and the university.[citation needed] Since then, the student population has increased about twelvefold; many industrial companies in the chemical, medical or electronics branches and, from the 1990s within information management, have set up establishments in the city; and the town's population, architecture and energy have been transformed.
Compared with many other Swedish cities, the urban heart of Lund is well preserved. A local law requires archaeological excavation in association with any downtown property planned for demolition and redevelopment.
Lund is located in Sweden's largest agricultural district, in the southwest of Scania, less than ten kilometres (6.2 miles) from the sandy shore of the Öresund Strait. From the top of the Sankt Hans Hill it is possible to see Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. It is therefore some distance from other Swedish cities, about 250 kilometres (155 miles) to Gothenburg, 600 km (373 miles) to Stockholm and about 1,200 km (746 miles) to Umeå. The city of Malmö, on the other hand, is only about 15 km (9 miles) away.
Lund, like the rest of southern Sweden, has an oceanic climate. Despite its northern location, the climate is relatively mild compared to other locations in similar latitude, or even somewhat further south, mainly because of its proximity to the sea. Because of its northerly latitude, daylight lasts as long as 17 hours in midsummer, and only around 7 hours in midwinter.
Summers are warm and pleasant with average high temperatures of 22 °C (72 °F) and lows of around 14 °C (57 °F), but temperatures do sometimes exceed 25 °C (77 °F) and occasional heat waves are common during the summer. Winters are cold, with temperatures steady between −1 to 3 °C (30 to 37 °F).
Rainfall is light to moderate throughout the year with 169 wet days. Snowfall occurs sparingly, mainly from December to March, but snow cover does not remain for a long time, and some winters tends to be virtually free of snow.

Lund has been connected to the motorway network since 1953 when the E22, the first motorway in Sweden, was built round the edge of the town. There are also other connections to most major roads in the area, for example the E6 via Riksväg 16, and the Länsväg 108 which connects to the E65.
Lund has been praised for its cycling infrastructure.[9] There are 5,000 bike parking spaces in the town, including a multi-storey facility, 160 km (99 mi) of cyclepaths, and 45% of commuters travel by bicycle. There has been no increase in car usage for the past 10 years.
Lund has been on the main railway line between Malmö and Stockholm since 1857. Today there are direct connections to Copenhagen and Elsinore via the Öresund Bridge. This connection is mainly served by the Öresundståg, maintained by DSB, the Danske Statsbaner in Denmark and Skånetrafiken in Scania, as well as by SJ in the rest of Sweden. Local traffic is managed by the two-coach electric multiple units Pågatåg, which provide connections to many destinations in Scania. Because of Lund's central position, it is possible to travel to the three largest cities in Sweden without having to change trains.
Public transport within Lund is overseen by Skånetrafiken[10] but the actual bus network is licensed to the Nettbuss Stadsbussarna company. The city buses connect around 400 bus stops with 9 bus lines served by a fleet of 48 MAN and Mercedes Citaro[citation needed] running on compressed natural gas. The Mercedes busses where taken out of service in 2013 when "Netbuss Stadsbussarna" took over, but has made a short comeback due to an increased number of departures in the new timetable. More MAN busses have been ordered and are expected to be delivered in October. There are plans to initiate a tram network [11] to achieve faster and higher-capacity public transport between Lund Central Station and many of the largest workplaces in the city. Including the hospital, university and in the future European Spallation Source. There are also plans to extend this network to the suburban towns of Dalby, Staffanstorp and Södra Sandby, but these are far into the future.
In recent years the pressure on rail and bus lines has increased, due to the ever growing commuting between Lund, Malmö and other nearby places and increased casual and professional contacts with the Copenhagen area. As of 2009, the railyard and quays area of Lund station is undergoing some rearrangements to accommodate expected growth in traffic, while Malmö Central railway station has also been rebuilt in tandem with the Malmö City Tunnel, which opened in December 2010.
Lund is located close to Malmö-Sturup Airport which is mainly used for domestic flights. Kastrup, the airport for Copenhagen is often used for longer international flights, and is about 33 minutes by train from Lund. There also used to be a very small airstrip, Hasslanda Flygfält, to the south of Lund, mainly used for private and charter flights. The airstrip closed 2008.
The culture in Lund is characterized by the university education and research, and the large student population and student traditions, such as a student theater group since 1886.[12] A substantial part of the student nightlife is located at student fraternities called 'Nations'.
Lund Cathedral, the Lutheran cathedral in Lund, is the seat of the bishop of Lund of the Church of Sweden. Lund also has a city theatre (though without a professional local ensemble of its own) and a number of other places for concerts and theatres.
Lund hosts the largest open-air museum of Scania, Kulturen. Kulturen is the second oldest dedicated open-air museum in the world and consists of more than 30 buildings, as well as large collections on Scanian art, crafts. local archaeology and history. The museum was founded in 1892 by Georg Karlin. Today the museum often hosts different exhibitions and its visitors can experience how Swedish people lived and worked throughout the centuries.[13]
Numerous prominent figures from the literary world lived and worked in Lund, often in association with the university and theatre. They are listed below with notable natives.
The city has a vivid tradition in music and theatre, stimulated by the church, university, schools, student musical festivities, and the Spex tradition (parodistic musical plays, often setting well-known music to new lyrics and mixing up the historical and the present in unconventional intrigues) and, especially, the "Lund Carnival" (for which see the special section).
Lund has long been a regional centre for classical and church music. In particular, Lund is renowned for its vibrant amateur choir scene, with choirs such as Carolinae damkör, Domkyrkokören, Katedralkören, Lunds akademiska kör, Lund Chamber Choir (Swedish: Lunds Kammarkör), Lunds Studentsångförening, Lunds vokalensemble, and the Svanholm Singers. Since 2006, Lund has been the host of the biannual Lund International Choral Festival.[14] In more recent decades, Lund has also developed a lively pop and jazz scene.
The concluding scenes in Ingmar Bergman's classic film Wild Strawberries were set in, and were shot in, Lund.
With it´s International Architecture Film Festival in Lund, since 2009, Lund is a centre in Øresund for architecture & film.
The Lund carnival has been held every four years since the mid-nineteenth century: traditional accounts say it originated at a wedding in 1849 (the four-year intervals place the party in 2002, 2006, 2010, etc.). Arranged by the students of the university, from the 1950s onwards the event has grown in size and intensity (with some 5500 volunteers 2010), but it remains an amateur event. Midway between a music and stage fair, a city festival, and an outpouring of satire, parody and general madness. Some students dress up in costumes, often relating to and poking fun at current issues, and parade in wagons. Others perform humorous skits in the evenings. The carnival revues and other stage entertainments have launched a number of well-known entertainers and actors over the years.
Lund is not a notable center for sports except for handball, where it has two teams in the men's top league: H 43 and LUGI and two teams in the women's top league: H43/Lundagård and LUGI. It also has a chess team, Lunds ASK, that for decades has been among the top teams in Sweden. Lund is also the birthplace of the online football manager game Hattrick. Lund also has a Division 1 football club called Lunds BK. Lund hosted matches from the 2011 Handball World Championship in the Färs och Frosta Sparbank Arena. In Lund you will also find Lugi Rugbyklubb, one Sweden's few rugby clubs.
Lund is a centre of high tech companies, such as Sony Mobile Communications, ST-Ericsson, Doro and other telecommunication companies. The Lund Institute of Technology has historical connections with the industrial economy. A business park, Ideon, is for high tech companies that have ties to the university.
Other important industries include medical technology (Gambro), pharmaceuticals, biotechnology (Active Biotech, among others), heat exchanger and separator (Alfa Laval), and publishing and library services. The hospital and the university in Lund are two other major employers, with extensive research facilities.
Astra Zeneca offices closed down in 2010 and has been replaced by Ideon Medicon Village.
Lund is home to the Tetra Pak company, which manufactures and markets paper packaging and equipment for milk, orange juice, etc. all over the world.
During the 12th and 13th centuries, when the town was the seat of the archbishop, many churches and monasteries were built. At its peak, Lund had 27 churches, but most of them were demolished as result of the Reformation in 1536. Several medieval buildings remain, including Lund Cathedral, Liberiet, the restaurant Stäket and parts of the Cathedral School.
Most of the central buildings in Lund date from the late 19th century, when small houses were replaced by multi-storey ones. Notable buildings built during this period include the University Library (1902), Grand Hotel (1899) and the University Main Building (1882).

As much as I love nature and traveling, I really enjoy my down time when I'm at home; somewhere where I can cook, unwind with a good book and clear my head.
I am clean and respectful and certainly appreciate people with a similar mindset.

Crochet headbands
Decided to make a crochet headband for myself, one that was comfy, no headache, not tight, stays on, etc. My preteen and teenage granddaughters fell in love with it and you know rest of the story! My 51 year old daughter loved it too! Needless to say I made several in various colors over the Christmas weekend.
This is a great way to use up small amounts of yarn. Double crochet allows for a loose stretch.
With sport yarn I used crochet hook size E, for larger yarn used crochet hook size G. Chain 7 stitches, then double crochet to length desired to fit. Can make as wide as desired, just add more stitches to the starting chain.
For the preteen and teenager 18" length was about the right size, 20" length is about right size for adults.
Since I had recent eye surgery, vision was too poor to see last stitch on the row to crochet in before turning. Decided to crochet between the last two double crochet stitches creating an elongated eyelet look along both sides of the headband.
Takes only a few minutes to make.
Thought others might enjoy making these. Amazing how something so simple can make a great big hit!

Virenque captures first mountain stage
SAINT-FLOUR, France -- Two riders who already have made huge impressions in the Tour de France are stepping up their bids to make history.
With cycling's premier event moving closer to the daunting Pyrenees mountains, Lance Armstrong and Richard Virenque put in strong performances Wednesday in the longest stage of the race.
Virenque, a superb mountain climber with a past checkered by a drug scandal, won the 147-mile ride from Limoges after a superb solo breakaway. He finished in 6 hours, 24 seconds.
But Armstrong, trying for an unprecedented sixth straight championship, took some critical time from two key rivals. Still, he was unable to pull farther ahead of his main challenger, German Jan Ullrich, the 1997 champion.
Armstrong was among five riders called for drug tests after the 10th stage and did not talk to reporters.
Sixth overall, Armstrong sits 55 seconds clear of 17th-place Ullrich entering Thursday's relatively comfortable 11th stage, a 102-mile ride to Figeac.
Previously unheralded Frenchman Thomas Voeckler leads overall.
Armstrong put seven precious seconds on American Tyler Hamilton and Spaniard Roberto Heras, his former U.S. Postal teammates.
Although trailing Voeckler by 9 minutes, 35 seconds, Armstrong extended his lead over Hamilton to 43 seconds and was 1:52 ahead of Heras at the halfway mark of the competition.
Hamilton's Phonak team manager Urs Freuler put the time loss down to misfortune.
"Tyler was not in a good position in the last kilometer of the race, which is why a few seconds were lost," Freuler said.
Virenque could become the best climber in race history. Virenque, Spaniard Federico Bahamontes and Belgian Lucien Van Impe have six mountain titles each.
Stage 11 on Thursday has only one climb of note. The ascent up Cote de Montsalvy stretches 4.9 miles at a grade averaging 6 percent. It is unlikely to tempt either Ullrich or Armstrong out of cruise control.
Little or no time is to be gained from attacking in such a quiet stage, so both will save energy for Friday's first of two daunting Pyrenees stages.
Stage 12 is a 122.7-mile trudge from Castelsarrasin to La Mongie that features two steep climbs close to the finish.
Saturday's 13th stage, a 127.7-mile grind from Lannemezan to Plateau de Beille could break weaker riders. Armstrong and Ullrich might claim huge time gains there.
On Wednesday, Virenque thrilled French fans celebrating the Bastille Day holiday with a long and daring burst. The Morocco-born Virenque rode out in front for 125 miles en route to the seventh stage victory of his career.
After dropping Axel Merckx, he rode the last 40 miles alone -- his tongue lolling from dehydration and exhaustion.
"I was at the end of my strength," he said. "I had cramps everywhere."
Virenque was a member of the Festina team that was ejected from the 1998 race after customs officers found a large stash of banned drugs in a team car. He was banned for seven months.
However thrilling Virenque's win, it should be put into perspective. Neither Armstrong, Ullrich, Hamilton nor the other main challengers attempted to match his pace.
Armstrong wound up sixth, 5 minutes, 19 seconds behind. Ullrich finished 19th in the same time. Hamilton was 26th, 5:26 off the winning time.
Johan Bruyneel, Postal's sports manager, reserves judgment on whether Armstrong is stronger than Ullrich or the other principal challengers.
"We're still very far from the finish of the race, so we can't really know now who is good and bad," Bruyneel said. "Everybody gets more tired. It's the ones who are fresh and who maintain condition who will win."

Photography showed its mettle at Christie's contemporary evening sale on Friday night, with artist records for Josephine Meckseper and Sarah Lucas—the latter's solo show at the Whitechapel Gallery (until 15 December) no doubt adding clout to the sale. Christie's owner François Pinault was rumoured to be the seller of Lucas's six-part self-portrait from 1997, which fetched £290,500, more than double what was paid in 2001 when the work was bought for £135,750 (then a record for the artist at auction). "Sarah Lucas is having a moment. She's reinventing herself as an outsider Modernist queen; half punk, half Hepworth," said Darren Flook, the co-founder of the Independent art fair.
Despite falling short of its low pre-sale estimate of £120,000, Martin Kippenberger's 85-part photographic piece, Psychobuildings, 1988, became the most expensive photograph by the artist when it sold for £110,500. The only video work on offer in the week's evening sales also did well—Ryan Trecartin's A Family Finds Entertainment, 2004, sold for an artist record of £37,500 (est £20,000-£30,000). The video is an edition of eight, one of which is in the Whitney Museum of Modern Art. Another piece in the collection of several museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Kunsthaus Zürich, was Thomas Struth's photograph, San Zaccaria, Venice, 1995, which soared above its upper estimate of £200,000, going for £698,500. Meanwhile, Jeff Wall's 1991 picture, The Crooked Path, almost doubled its low pre-sale estimate, selling for £482,500. "Photography is a medium that is still accessible," said Francis Outred, the head of post-war and contemporary art for Christie's Europe. "You can pick up a 20th-century masterpiece for a relatively affordable sum."The top prices, meanwhile, were reserved for the paintings on the block, which mostly fell within estimate. Glenn Brown's aquamarine spacescape from 1998, Böcklin's Tomb (copied from 'Floating Circles' 1981 by Chris Floss), fetched £2.3m (est £2m-£3m), while Mark Tansey's painting, The Raw and the Framed, 1995—executed in a similarly blue palette—went to the same anonymous buyer for £1.6m (est £1.4m-£1.8m). A collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol from the collection of the film director Oliver Stone made £1.5m against an estimate of between £1.3m and £1.8m, while a 1984 painting by Basquiat sold for £1.8m, equalling its upper estimate of £1.8m.Two other works on canvas sailed above estimate to also hit the £1.8m mark: Kippenberger's Down with the Bourgeoisie, 1983 (est £900,000-£1.2m), and Peter Doig's Red Canoe, 2000 (est £800,000-£1.2m).The grand total on the night was £27.8m (est £20.3m-£29.2m), up from last year's evening sale, which made £23m. The sell-through rate was a robust 91% by lot and 95% by value.

2006 Pontiac G6 squeals
Having a problem with the car squealing. Had new brakes put on but it still squeals especially when I make a hard right turn. And sometimes just driving down the road. My mechanic thinks it might possibly be the belt. Any one have any ideas or had this problem before? Thanks and have a great day!
You may have a worn serpentine drive belt that is slipping or worn out. First, check its tension to see if it up to speciications, and if not, tighten to spec. If that that does not take of the problem, inspect the belt.
The flat serpentine belt has several small "v"s on the drive side. These function the same way that the older fashion single v-belt did, only these are smaller and more of them. Only the Vs should contact the sheaves; the backing should ride above the sheave ridges.
When the Vs wear enough to let the backing ride on the sheave (pulley), the V sides looses their grip and the belt slips. Its worn out at that point - replace the belt.
To get a view of the belt fit on the sheave, use an inspection mirror and a light. Naturally, this inspection is accomplished with the engine stopped.
Sometimes, the sheave (pulley) can give a clue. If the belt has been riding and slippng on the ridges of the sheave, these edges may show evidence of such contact. Normally, these ridges do not contact the belt have oxidation tarnish.
