Berlin's Downtown Airport Gathers Support
Business Jet Traveler » April 2008
Tuesday, April 1, 2008 - 5:00am
Defenders of Berlin Tempelhof Airport in downtown Berlin have reported progress in their fight to keep the airfield open, as they have gathered the 170,000 votes required to force a public referendum. For the referendum to be valid, however, 25 percent of the city's 2.425 million voters must participate. Even then, the result would not be binding: a court has already confirmed that the Berlin Senate is authorized to make the closing decision, and it will probably stick with plans to shut down the airport in October.

: The luxury of staying at home, browsing the net and at the click of a mouse having your favourite book titles delivered at your doorstep is a tough model to beat. Which is why the trend of buying online is increasingly preferred by book lovers and retail stores are feeling the pinch.
Some of the leading book stores in the city have seen a decline in the number of walk-in customers to their shops.
"The lifestyle of customers is changing and people find it convenient to browse at home and get the books delivered. Also, there has been a slump in the retail sector of late, due to which there has been a shift in the buying patterns," says V. Rajesh, category manager-books, Landmark.
"Gearing up for the future, our store too entered the online platform 10 years ago," he adds. Book lovers say that once they experience online shopping, it becomes compulsive. They enjoy the comfort of shopping online, and the quick delivery time. The free shipping and huge discount margin offered is also another significant reason for their choice.
"Chennai is the No. 1 destination for indiaplaza.com, in terms of book sales. Over one lakh Chennaiites have so far bought books from our website," says K. Vaitheeswaran, founder and CEO, indiaplaza.com.
These websites, buyers say, come in handy particularly when shops are out of stock of some titles. "Some of the international publications are not available in stores for which I depend on these websites," says Yashwant Kodali, a student at IIT-Madras who uses online bookstores. "Websites offer good discounts on some of the old books and bestsellers," he says. Buyers also note that many online booksellers have diversified to offer other products like electronic gadgets and appliances.
However, people who frequent book stores say that they are sometimes not always convinced by the review and ratings found on websites. "We have to sometimes go by the reviews offered by the website," says a customer at a popular book store.
Also the experience of glancing through shelves of books continues to attract customers to stores. "I use websites to buy books that I already know I want. But I also visit book stores, because on these shelves I come across some books that I may have wanted to buy and would have forgotten about. Or to look for other interesting titles that I may not have heard about," says Stacy Marking from the UK. "I love to feel and flip the pages before I buy it," she says.

Thanks to Hoyts Distribution, Moviehole has 10 in-season double passes up for grabs to see "Astro Boy", featuring the voices of Kristen Bell, Nicolas Cage and Freddie Highmore.
In the futuristic world of Metro City, a gleaming metropolis in the sky, the brilliant scientist Dr. Tenma creates Astro Boy to replace the son he has lost, programming his creation with the best of human characteristics and values, as well as endowing him with extraordinary super powers. Cast out when he cannot meet the grieving father's expectations, Astro Boy is dealt a cruel double blow – he is also crushed to learn he is a robot, not even a human being.
Astro Boy, who carries within himself the Blue Core, a power source made of positive "blue†energy, is sought out by the troops of the militaristic President Stone, obsessed with obtaining the Core for the "Peacekeeper†robot, in fact invented to be used as a weapon to dominate Earth.
Fleeing from the military, Astro Boy crashes to the surface of the Earth. Lost and unsure of his identity, Astro Boy simply seeks to fit in. Denying his true nature, he tries to pass himself off as a human being with a gang of child-vagabonds. He falls naively under the sway of their leader Hamegg, in whom he sees a father figure. To Astro Boy's horror, Hamegg exposes him as a robot and tries to turn him into a robot-gladiator.
In the Battlebot arena, Astro Boy is forced to face wave upon wave of robots.
Refusing to fight, but only disabling his opponent when the safety of spectators is threatened, Astro Boy's nobility wins the crowd over. Alerted by the Core's power surge, the military swoops down and captures Astro Boy, who resigns himself to his fate. As Dr.Tenma, the man who created him, removes his energy source, Astro Boy forgives him for what he is doing. This display of innate goodness finally opens Dr. Tenma's eyes to the terrible mistake he has made. Reconciled to the son he had wrongly rejected, he allows Astro Boy to escape.
The destructive Peacekeeper, which has been given the incredibly dangerous negative Red Core energy by presidential order, is out of control and causing havoc in Metro City. Astro Boy returns to help the citizens, fighting the Peacekeeper and saving Metro City from crashing to Earth. In the climactic battle, the strands of the story come together as Astro Boy accepts his mixed human-robot nature and finds his destiny as mankind's savoir.

Product description
Truths are determined not by what we believe, but by the way the world is. Or so realists about truth believe. Philosophers call such theories correspondence theories of truth. Truthmaking theory, which now has many adherents among contemporary philosophers, is a recent development of a realist theory of truth, and in this book, first published in 2004, D. M. Armstrong offers the first full-length study of this theory. He examines its applications to different sorts of truth, including contingent truths, modal truths, truths about the past and the future, and mathematical truths. In a clear, even-handed and non-technical discussion he makes a compelling case for truthmaking and its importance in philosophy. His book marks a significant contribution to the debate and will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in analytical philosophy.

Romney in Big Trouble
Following the first presidential debate on October 3rd between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, one in which Romney repeatedly scored and Obama appeared lost, annoyed and disinterested; pundits, pollsters and political junkies alike unanimously declared Mitt Romney as the winner.
Obama, a long time card carrying member of the self-proclaimed institutionalized "progressive" left intellectual elite, was not simply one step ahead of the opposition.: He was so extremely clever he completely tricked, baffled and befuddled his own supporters.
What the entire watching world missed was, Obama's apparently dismal failure in the Denver, CO debate was a well-planned, strategic, flawlessly executed tactic.
Barack Obama, being so much smarter than everyone else, thoroughly fooled the masses with his deliberately debased debate debacle.
His performance was so convincing that even Bill Maher and Chris Matthew swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker.: Maher, who has put lots of his own money behind Obama, bemoaned on Twitter "I can't believe I'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter".: Matthews was beside himself, tormenting himself by wondering aloud why the real Obama failed to show up for the verbal tussle.
You would think nobody had ever heard of Muhammad Ali shockingly conquering George Foreman in the historic Rumble in the Jungle.
This must have been Obama's strategy going into the debate, to strategically pattern the three debates after the world famous Ali-Foreman heavyweight championship bout.: Play rope-a-dope and intentionally allow the opponent to attack, all the while knowing your adversary will tire and his skills will eventually wane.
For Barack Obama, who as demonstrated by his actions in office clearly considers himself vastly intellectually superior to even his White House predecessors, much less his backwards thinking Conservative yokel opponent, there can be no other explanation.

Spending billions on applications and technology specialists, Facebook and Google are definitely in a "cold war" as cleverly stated in this article. This infographic does a tasteful job of showing the power-hungry corporations and their battle for attention through the digital world. Through the bold font choices and red/blue color scheme, this graphic portrays both political and warlike themes. This graphic is also quite informative as it clearly show each year in detail of the "tech arms race" from 2009 to 2014. I especially like the questions posed towards the end, giving the viewer something to continue thinking about.

Mandy was a great contact- she arranged the stay for her guests and was very flexible and communicative.
Mandy was very easy to communicate with and her crew left the place in very good order!
Mandy stayed at my place in Kensington Market during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). She was an absolutely fabulous guest - friendly, tidy, respectful, and communicative. I'd be happy to host her again any time, and highly recommend her to other hosts!
Mandy was actually booking on behalf of a colleague. She was very up front, informative and clear about her intentions from the beginning, which we appreciated very much. Will was a great guest, very respectful and clean. He was out early in the morning and back late at night, so we hardly saw him. And he was also very understanding/accommodating when we had someone in to fix the tiles in the bathroom, even though it prevented him from having a shower one morning. Great guest, would definitely recommend.

The opinions expressed in this article are their own and do not reflect the official position of Microsoft.
The Navy's recently published Social Media Handbook has some good lessons for everyone.
Geared toward Navy commanders, the handbook is intended to encourage the use of social media and provide some guidance on matters of online etiquette, privacy, security and related issues. However, although the handbook is Navy-centric, many of its ideas and best practices apply across the government.
Here are some of the takeaways we found, along with insights we gathered in developing a similar guide for Microsoft's public-sector customers.
Get guidance from the top. Rear Adm. Dennis Moynihan, the Navy's chief of information, clearly supports the Navy's use of social media. Such senior-level support is necessary for any corporation, agency or institution that plans to engage in social media conversations. Employees should not be confused and wondering if they may or may not use social media or how they may use it. Now more than ever, they need some structure and guidance.
Keep an ear to the ground. The handbook points out that social media provides a great way to learn about your employees' thoughts and concerns. That is incredibly insightful. Social media can indeed be a great indicator of things going right or wrong at your organization.
Protect your brand. The Navy's handbook points out that service members and employees who use social media are always brand ambassadors and should act accordingly. We take it one step further: Your actions and reactions online affect not only your reputation but also your professional affiliation. Thus you must act in a way that is proper for yourself and your employer.
Keep the brands simple. For our work in state and local government, we use two big brands — @Microsoft_Gov and Bright Side of Government — rather than breaking up our content by solutions, such as e-mail or cloud computing, or audience, such as states, cities and counties. In many cases, we feel that such divisions unnecessarily dilute a brand and make it harder to engage in consistent online conversations.
Centralize brand management. The manual reminds people that anyone who is establishing a social media presence must register that outlet with the Defense Department's public affairs office. That makes it possible to roll up all the activity into a master online directory. Our own company could do a better job of this, considering the many brands and social media accounts that we have.
Have a response plan ready. For an organization such as the Navy, having a crisis communications plan is somewhat of a no-brainer. But that is true of all kinds of organizations. Your public relations team should have a crisis plan in place — for before, during and after conversations — so you can manage any crisis or rumor that arises. All brands are increasingly at risk for public criticism. Acknowledge that and plan accordingly.
Save your work. The Navy's handbook suggests that people should selectively choose what to archive and even use screen shots to do it. But these days, you can find cheap or free tools to help you archive everything automatically. For example, many government agencies already use SharePoint to share enterprise content. You can now get a free, open-source SharePoint plug-in that can help you manage archiving.
Overall, we think the Navy's social media guide — like the Air Force's flowchart for online rules of engagement that preceded it — will provide valuable information about social media not only for the military services but also for agencies across the federal government and beyond.

The people
American society was rapidly changing. Population grew at what to Europeans was an amazing rate—although it was the normal pace of American population growth for the antebellum decades—of between three-tenths and one-third per decade. After 1820 the rate of growth was not uniform throughout the country. New England and the Southern Atlantic states languished—the former region because it was losing settlers to the superior farmlands of the Western Reserve, the latter because its economy offered too few places to newcomers.
The special feature of the population increase of the 1830s and '40s was the extent to which it was composed of immigrants. Whereas about 250,000 Europeans had arrived in the first three decades of the 19th century, there were 10 times as many between 1830 and 1850. The newcomers were overwhelmingly Irish and German. Traveling in family groups rather than as individuals, they were attracted by the dazzling opportunities of American life: abundant work, land, food, and freedom on the one hand and the absence of compulsory military service on the other.
The mere statistics of immigration do not, however, tell the whole story of its vital role in pre-Civil War America. The intermingling of technology, politics, and accident produced yet another "great migration." By the 1840s the beginnings of steam transportation on the Atlantic and improvements in the sailing speed of the last generation of windjammers made oceanic passages more frequent and regular. It became easier for hungry Europeans to answer the call of America to take up the farmlands and build the cities. Irish migration would have taken place in any case, but the catastrophe of the Irish Potato Famine of 1845–49 turned a stream into a torrent. Meanwhile, the steady growth of the democratic idea in Europe produced the Revolutions of 1848 in France, Italy, Hungary, and Germany. The uprisings in the last three countries were brutally suppressed, creating a wave of political refugees. Hence, many of the Germans who traveled over in the wake of the revolutions—the Forty-Eighters—were refugees who took liberal ideals, professional educations, and other intellectual capital to the American West. Overall German contributions to American musical, educational, and business life simply cannot be measured in statistics. Neither can one quantify the impact of the Irish politicians, policemen, and priests on American urban life or the impact of the Irish in general on Roman Catholicism in the United States.
Besides the Irish and Germans, there were thousands of Norwegians and Swedes who immigrated, driven by agricultural depression in the 1850s, to take up new land on the yet-unbroken Great Plains. And there was a much smaller migration to California in the 1850s of Chinese seeking to exchange hard times for new opportunities in the gold fields. These people too indelibly flavoured the culture of the United States.
Mention must also be made of utopian immigrant colonies planted by thinkers who wanted to create a new society in a New World. Examples include Nashoba, Tenn., and New Harmony, Ind., by two British newcomers, Frances Wright and Robert Dale Owen, respectively. There also were German planned settlements at Amana, Iowa, and in New Ulm and New Braunfels, Texas. If the growth of materialistic and expansionist bumptiousness represented by the Manifest Destiny movement was fueled in part by the immigration-fed expansion of the American populace, these experiments in communal living added to the less materialistic forces driving American thought. They fit the pattern of searching for heaven on earth that marked the age of reform.
Most African Americans in the North possessed theoretical freedom and little else. Confined to menial occupations for the most part, they fought a losing battle against the inroads of Irish competition in northeastern cities. The struggle between the two groups erupted spasmodically into ugly street riots. The hostility shown to free African Americans by the general community was less violent but equally unremitting. Discrimination in politics, employment, education, housing, religion, and even cemeteries resulted in a cruelly oppressive system. Unlike slaves, free African Americans in the North could criticize and petition against their subjugation, but this proved fruitless in preventing the continued deterioration of their situation.
Most Americans continued to live in the country. Although improved machinery had resulted in expanded farm production and had given further impetus to the commercialization of agriculture, the way of life of independent agriculturists had changed little by midcentury. The public journals put out by some farmers insisted that their efforts were unappreciated by the larger community. The actuality was complex. Many farmers led lives marked by unremitting toil, cash shortage, and little leisure. Farm workers received minuscule wages. In all sections of the country, much of the best land was concentrated in the hands of a small number of wealthy farmers. The proportion of farm families who owned their own land, however, was far greater in the United States than in Europe, and varied evidence points to a steady improvement in the standard and style of living of agriculturalists as midcentury approached.

Does anyone know where I can buy this cheese in the U.S.? My Austrian cookbook uses a lot of topfen, and I'd like to find the actual stuff.
The Cheese Store in Beverly Hills has it. I would expect to find it in other cheese stores. If you cannot find it, perhaps you can make your own.
Much like yogurt, you can make your own. See the link below for several recipes.
Information from the Cook's Thesaurus - recipe as well as substitutes.
quark = quark-curd = topfen = quarg = curd-cheese Notes: This versatile fresh cheese resembles soft cream cheese. Germans (who call is quark) and Austrians (who call it topfen) use it to make everything from cheesecake to gravy.
To make your own: Combine one quart whole milk with 1/2 cup buttermilk in a clean container, cover, and let the mixture stand at room temperature for two days. Gently cook the mixture for about 30 minutes. It's done when the curd has thickened slightly and begun to separate from the whey. Let it cool and pour it into a colander lined with several folds of cheesecloth. Put the colander into a larger container, wrap with plastic, and let it drain overnight in the refrigerator until the quark is reduced to the consistency of yogurt. Makes about 1 cup.
Substitutes: fromage frais (very similar) OR yogurt cheese (more acidic) OR two parts ricotta cheese and one part sour cream OR strained cottage cheese OR mascarpone.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Make Quark

Front Cover
■THURSDAY MARCH 26, 2015. • 217 KING STREET, PUKEKOHE www.franklincountynews.co.nz AUDITED NET CIRCULATION 31,150 COPIES Tuakau rail blackspot By SHAUN EADE A child struggling to get his bike across Tuakau's railway line as a train approached is just one of as many as 40 illegal track crossings a day which have sparked a warning from KiwiRail. The company has emphasised the importance of keeping off the tracks and using official crossings, fearing the substantial rise in trespass incidents could end in tragedy. ''We are issuing this warning now as we don't want the problem to further escalate and result in injury or worse,'' KiwiRail northern regional manager Stephen Collett said. A Tuakau local reported witnessing 30-40 adults and children a day illegally crossing the tracks near Ryders Rd, Tuakau. Collett said the concerns had been seconded by his staff. ''Train drivers have confirmed they have seen more trespass activity over these summer months in that part of the town,'' he said. ''A number of KiwiRail staff have subsequently visited the area and have observed the tracks made by people using it.'' The company has started work- ing with TrackSAFE and local police to raise awareness of the dangers. ''The rail network is equivalent to a state highway, and you wouldn't cross or walk along that,'' Collett said. ''Around 20 trains a day pass through Tuakau – they can come at any time and travel at speeds up to 100kmh. ''Our drivers dread seeing some- one on the tracks as, unlike a car, trains can't swerve to miss an object or stop quickly.'' TrackSAFE manager Megan Drayton said: ''We would urge the people of Tuakau to cross at the proper points, always look both ways for trains and to wait for a train to pass before crossing. ''Trains travel a lot faster than they look and research has shown top title Kirstin takes that it is impossible for people to accurately judge the speed of an approaching train.'' Collett said he had asked locals to get involved to stop the illegal crossings. ''This is an issue where with the involvement of community, an injury or worse, a death can potentially be avoided. ''Please let us know if you spot anyone crossing the track or endeavour to discourage them from this unsafe activity – it might just save someone's life.'' Events centred on family fun There's plenty to do in Pukekohe on Sunday with the town offering up two fun, family focused events from 9am right through till 6pm. First up, there's Puni School's popular annual Franklin Multicultural Festival, with sport, kapa haka and kai from 9am on the Pukekohe Intermediate School's grounds. Each year the festival centres on a sport and this year, there are 10 schools and 23 teams involved who will compete in a touch rugby tournament, supported by Touch Rugby NZ. The festival's concert, always a highlight, is also supported by a large number of local schools. Puni will open the show, fol- lowed by Pukekohe Intermediate School's kapa haka. Belly dancing is a new addition for the year, along with a Tongan performance from St Joseph's Primary School, then songs from Pukekohe Central Kindergarten children. There will also be yummy food, games, face painting, a bouncy castle, and an inflatable boxing ring with oversized gloves. As the festival winds down, entertainers will be taking their place just up the road at Ernies Reserve, for Picnic by the Pond. The entertaining showcase of local talent goes from 2pm to 6pm at the Reynolds Rd park. Organisers are encouraging picnic-goers to pack a blanket and refreshments. Money raised this year will go DEFENDINGCHAMPS:Kirstin Kelly from Pukekohe won Amateur Show Jumper of the Year on Tiraumea Donegal at Horse of the Year last week.

Back in the 1980s, George Carlin had a famous bit in which he said, "A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff." One can only imagine what comedic inspiration the late performer would've mined from connected homes in 2015, which have the ability to direct us when to go get more "stuff" or, alternatively, fetch "stuff." As household connectivity increases due to consumer adoption of broadband and wireless networks, homes (and the objects in them) are getting smarter. Products available in the Internet of Things (IoT)-defined as a state in which everyday objects are networked wirelessly and imbued with the ability to communicate without human intervention-now include an egg carton that alerts a homeowner when it's down to the last two eggs and learning thermostats that moderate temperatures in part by sensing when the home is empty.

Most knowledgeable bass fishermen agree no one understands the many moods and mysteries of the Tennessee River better than Bill Huntley, who, after all, has been catching bass there for more than 65 years.
Widely regarded as one of the foremost smallmouth fishermen in America, this soft-spoken, silver haired angler started making Tennessee River memories in the early 1940s, when, as a 10-year old, he accompanied his father on trips to Pickwick Lake. There they fished below the Wheeler Lake dam for both smallmouth and largemouth in a 14-foot boat his father had made from poplar planks, and powered by a two-cylinder, 7 1/2-horsepower Johnson outboard. Frequently, because of the gasoline rationing in effect during WWII, they didn't have enough fuel to make the run from their Waterloo launch area to the dam, so they fished wherever they could.Huntley, now 76, has never left the river, and he is still an active competitor in local bass tournaments. When he's not on the water, he's behind his desk as CEO of T-H Marine Supplies, Inc., in nearby Huntsville, the largest manufacturer and supplier of boating items in the world. The company produces more than 1,000 products, most designed by Huntley himself, and ranging from drain covers and cup holders to jackplates, the Hot Foot throttle pedal and entire livewell systems. Virtually every boat for fresh or saltwater has some T-H products on it."In the early days, there were no trolling motors, so we used paddles," Huntley remembers, "but my father knew these river bass liked current, so that's why we always fished the moving water below the dam. When we got in place, we didn't need a trolling motor, because we let the current push us along."The river has changed dramatically over the years, and although the fishing was fabulous when I was a youngster, I'm not sure it was that much better than it is today. Probably, we're just more skilled at catching fish, and certainly, we have more mobility."There aren't as many river islands nor as much standing timber now as there used to be," he continues, "but both Wheeler and Pickwick have always had good smallmouth populations, and they still do today."
For more than 30 years, Huntley probably spent a minimum of three days or nights a week in a bass boat on the river, not only fishing but also evaluating a piece of equipment or dreaming up a new one. His best-ever smallmouth weighed 9-7 from Pickwick, and he has an 8-14 from Wheeler.There is no way to count the number of 6 and 7-pounders he's caught from Pickwick and Wheeler during his lifetime; often he has caught several over five in a single night. In 2008 he caught a smallmouth out of the hydrilla on Wheeler, and he's even caught them in Guntersville."I remember when milfoil first began appearing in Guntersville in the late 1960s," he laughs. "We had no concept of what it meant, but it didn't take long to recognize that every time we fished around it we caught fish."Today, Guntersville is just an unbelievable fish factory, primarily because of the vegetation. Not long ago I fished a tournament there and had 27 pounds for one day, and still finished 13th.While Guntersville has its vegetation, Wheeler and Pickwick differ because of their bottom composition, and Huntley has certainly explored a lot of that bottom with his jigs and spinnerbaits over the years. Today, many tournament pros ask him for fishing advice whenever an event is scheduled on any of the lakes."Pickwick has more gravel bottom, better current, and the water is clearer, which I believe is why smallmouth have done better there," he notes. "It's just better overall habitat. Wheeler not only has more hydrilla but also much more shoreline industry that may affect the fishing to some degree."Huntley also thinks there is better fishing on the upper end of Wheeler than most realize. Spotted bass have become established there, but few spend much time fishing north of Decatur, simply because the fishing is so good in other areas."Bass fishing as a sport began gaining popularity here in the early 1950s," he points out, "but then you ate whatever you caught, and I certainly have eaten my share of bass.
Today, though, I honestly believe tournament fishing is the best thing that has happened to the Tennessee River. Tournament anglers release their fish, and, given the amount of fishing pressure these lakes receive today, I'm sure it's had a huge effect on preserving the population."Given the size and scope of this river system, nothing truly compares to the Tennessee River for overall fishing quality, but I think the fishermen themselves have been as responsible for this as anyone."

Vt woman sentenced in others' drug overdoses
BURLINGTON A woman accused of giving drugs to a woman who overdosed and died and a man who overdosed and survived has been sentenced to 60 days on a work crew.
Anna Clark, 26, of Burlington, was given credit for time served Wednesday. Shell spend about a month on the work crew, said Judge Linda Levitt.
If you hadnt been doing so well in your treatment and counseling, I think it would be a sentence to serve (in prison), because of the horrible, horrible outcomes, Levitt said.
Clark admitted to contributing to two overdoses in a deal with prosecutors in March.
She gave cocaine to Cindy Goulet, 54, of Burlington, who died of the combination of cocaine and Dilaudid in June 2012. Four months later, while she was on court-ordered conditions of release, she gave heroin to Andrew Snow, 44, who overdosed and was revived at the hospital. Two other people were also charged in each overdose.
Now that Im sober and have a clear head, I know what I did was wrong, she said Wednesday in court. I cannot take it back.
Clark pleaded guilty in March to delivery of heroin, dispensing a regulated drug and identity theft in a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped 11 other charges, according to The Burlington Free Press.
Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence of two to five years. The defense asked for home confinement.
Defense attorney Luke Collins told the court Clark became addicted after she was prescribed medication for breast cancer.MORE IN This Just InWhen a playwright who has achieved success with dark realistic drama turns his pen to comedy, it...

Celebrity Gossip Magazine Really Wants Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey to Get Back Together
Why would Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ever get back together?
To help OK! sell magazines, obviously!
Why would Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ever get back together?
To help OK! sell magazines, obviously!
What Nick Lachey ever saw in Jessica Simpson remains a mystery.
But the identity of the blonde beauty the singer was spotted with over the weekend has at least been revealed: say hello to Holly Letchworth.
Nick Lachey didn't waste any time moving on from ex Vanessa Minnillo, or putting to rest rumors that he will be getting back together with Jessica Simpson.
He will not be.
In June, Nick Lachey broke up with Vanessa Minnillo.
A month later, Jessica Simpson had her heart broken by Tony Romo.
Nick Lachey recently parted ways with Vanessa Minnillo.
Jessica Simpson recently got dumped by Tony Romo.
The former Mr. Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo have split up, according to reports. They'd been together almost three years.
"It was an amicable break-up. They walk away from it still friends," says a source quoted by Us Weekly who is reportedly close to the hot couple.
She might not be shopping for her own engagement ring, like Kim Kardashian.
But Vanessa Minnillo is already making plans for one.
Nick Lachey definitely got out at the right time.
The former 98 degrees and current solo singer used to star with his wife on the MTV series Newlyweds. Then they split up and she became tortured by food, while he hooked up with a gorgeous new girlfriend and avoided negative PR.

write-back cache
A caching method in which modifications to data in the cache aren't copied to the cache source until absolutely necessary. Write-back caching is available on many microprocessors, including all Intel processors since the 80486. With these microprocessors, data modifications (e.g., write operations) to data stored in the L1 cache aren't copied to main memory until absolutely necessary. In contrast, a write-through cacheperforms all write operations in parallel -- data is written to main memory and the L1 cache simultaneously.
Write-back caching yields somewhat better performance than write-through caching because it reduces the number of write operations to main memory. With this performance improvement comes a slight risk that data may be lost if the system crashes.
A write-back cache is also called a copy-back cache.

Cleaning Chrome Faucets
cindyoehmigOctober 21, 2009
I laid a cloth soaked in vinegar on my brushed chrome faucet to get the calcium deposits off. When I returned an hour later the vinegar had eaten the chrome coating leaving an unsightly finish. Is there a way to fix the damage?
Wow! May be chrome paint over plastic, real chrome finish would not be ruined by vinegar. They do make a chrome finish comes in a spray can but it would be shiny not brushed. My front bathroom faucets are 40 yrs old & still look new. But I always insist on real metal with real chrome over it. Day coming when that may no longer be possible. Do they have any warranty?

Beyond Teaching to Mentoring
As a result of rapid changes affecting higher education, educators face continuing challenges to meet their responsibilities and must reevaluate their interactions with students, both inside and outside the classroom. This new issue examines how educators might mentor their students. Covering a variety of disciplines, the authors discuss how to prepare students for more active and collaborative learning and how to help students develop different skills they will need to succeed. They also examine the effect of changing demographics, diverse student populations, and changing student expectations on mentoring. In the transition to a learning-focused environment with the student at the center of the endeavor, instructors will find this issue a helpful tool as they continue to play a major but changing role. This is the 85th issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions for Teaching and Learning.

For many, a graphic novel is just a long version of a comic book. While a number of graphic novels are larger collections of individual comic stories, a graphic novel in simple terms is a novel in comic-strip format. These graphic novels can be stand-alone stories, serialized, comprised of multiple issues, volumes in a series, etc. Graphic novels for young readers often include themes such as fitting in, growing up, friendship, dealing with loss, defeating monsters and saving the day (sometimes all in the same story!).

Library Updates From Gigi the Giraffe
Hey everyone! I can't believe that it's almost the end of the year. So much has happened at the Columbia Public Library these past twelve months! Are you enjoying the new carpet? Do you often say hi to Starry the Tiger, who is currently sitting on top of our "new books" section? Did you see the new dollhouse that's on display until May? There are even iPads with educational apps for children 2 and over! The current app is "The Tale of Peter Rabbit."
My outfits have changed a few times since my last post, too. Of late, the Owl and I have been watching everyone walk by in their wonderful hats and winter gear. I have to say, I was feeling slightly left out. My staff must have noticed, because now I'm up to my chin in winter wear! While all my winter clothes may not be as coordinated as what I have been wearing, I can assure you, I'm warm and toasty! And that snow that may or may not fall? I might enjoy a nice walk in the rain in the spring, but I'm staying out of that cold wet stuff! I would rather experience winter through a book or movie. Maybe I'll wander over and pick out a movie or two to watch once my staff has left for the night. I hear there is one about two sisters and a snowman that has quite a few catchy songs…
Seek and Find at the Library
Do you remember spending hours pouring over pages searching for Waldo? I do! Seek-and-find books are no longer just looking for a tall skinny guy in a striped shirt (although we check out plenty of those, too). We have books in which readers are asked to locate differences between two images or find small images inside full-size illustrations. We even have some seek-and-find books featuring pages with real photographs. The more books I looked for, the more I found (truly seek and find)!
One of the more charming titles I have come across is "Find Momo" by Andrew Knapp. This book is full of photos, and each photo contains a border collie named Momo for readers to find. Sound easy? Not so much. While you won't have to go crazy looking up the answers online, you may find yourself needing a few minutes to actually find this adorable dog who enjoys playing peek-a-boo with readers. Another fun seek-and-find book is the Where's the Meerkat series by Paul Moran. In these books you seek out a family of meerkats in a style similar to Where's Waldo. However, in my opinion I find it easier to find a handful of meerkats (even if they are wearing sunglasses) in a crowd of humans than it ever was finding Waldo. Plus, the meerkats are just cute!

Check It Out: Caramba
"Caramba looked like any other cat. He had soft fur and a long, stripy tail. He ate fish. He purred. He went for long walks. But Caramba was different from other cats. He couldn't fly."
So begins the tale of Caramba, the cat who couldn't fly. Caramba does want to fly, and he tries several times without success. In truth, Caramba is just different from all the other cats. Author Marie-Louis Gay has created an endearing character, with which we can all sympathize. We have all felt different at some point or been unable to do what seems easy to everyone else. Yet once Caramba accepts his differences and discovers his own personal talents, he is able to let go of his anxieties and even encourages his friend to try new things. If you have a little one worried about his or her own differences, check out this beautifully illustrated story.
Stories Without Words
Children love to tell tales, both of their own true experiences and those they have created. Often before a child can read print, you will see a child "reading" a book, ignoring the text, but using the illustrations as inspiration for a story he fashions as he turns the pages. In doing this, the child will learn to use illustrations as guides and will later be able to use this skill to help him in figuring out difficult words on a page and understanding more complex texts. Listening to a child "read" a book in this manner is a great way to build an early reader's confidence and narrative skills. You can encourage your child to look closely at illustrations by providing her books without words. Try a few of our favorites:
- "A Ball for Daisy" by Christopher Raschka
- "Tuesday" by David Wiessner
- "Chalk" by Bill Thomson
- "The Chicken Thief" by Beatrice Rodriguez

How many in this spot?
Fixing to make this spot a hosta garden. It's roughly 8'x8'. It receives morning sun directly and then is mostly shaded by tall trees. I ordered the "hosta by the handful" bundle from Gilbert H. Wild and was wondering what would be a good amount to plant in this area. (The 2 in the back were transplanted from an overly sunny spot in my mom's garden last year.)
It depends on the size at maturity. You could have dozens of minis in that spot. 2 dozen smalls. 15 or so mediums.
And I disagree with Jon.
that's way too many big ones.
4 is plenty..... big ones get to be 4-5 feet across!
9 and you'd be overcroweded within 3 years.
Perhaps 3 big ones in a triangle shape in the back, with several medium/small ones sited
in the foreground. By 'several' I'm thinking 6 to 8 or so.
Don B.
EDIT: I say this without knowing how they ship, though. With the 'Hosta by the Handful' deal, for all I know about it you may just get a big bag of unmarked Hosta. I hope they don't do that, just for planting's sake, y'know? :)
This post was edited by Don_in_Colorado on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 2:48
eighty or ninety ...
we will figure out what to do with the excess.. next year.. lol
whats this buying the proper number stuff anyway .. buy every single plant you see or can find.. and then whine about running out of space ...
looks like a brilliant little nursery bed ...
Well I got my brown bag of unmarked hostas today. I'm guessing that most of them will be on the small side since this is supposed to be a bargain, and that some will not make it (they didn't look so great). So I planted them all. Worst case scenario is that all of them live and get huge...and then I'll just dig 'em up and stick them somewhere else ;-)
Thanks everyone.
Way to go, Wannaberosy, you have the right idea. When some die, it is natural selection making the choice, and you'll find which ones are most vigorous.
Plus, when you begin designing your garden for long term growing, consider setting one nice vase shaped hosta in a container on top of a piece of tree or a sturdy fern stand, up above the height of the tall hosta surrounding it. It really works, and gives you another spot for a special hosta.
Have fun!
Well I planted all 20 about 3 weeks ago and I'd say about half have started to show some signs of life. Most of them have just sprouted up single leaves, while a few others have multiple pips that are just starting to poke through now. The singles came up green while the ones with more than one shoot are more purple. I've also noticed the multiples coming through later than just the single leaves. I wish knew what they all were. This is my first time growing hostas and it's so much fun. I will post some photos once everyone gets a little bigger and more camera-friendly. Maybe I can get a little help IDing them.
On another note, I've decided to dedicate another, larger space as a hosta/fern garden. I was going to wait until next year for this project as I have already planted a ton this year (we have about a quarter acre of garden space to fill that had been left to the weeds by the former owners), but I saw that Bluestone was all 50% off today, and ... yeah well you know how it goes. This time I'm not doing the bargain bag and I know exactly who's coming. Hooray!
Wannabe, I have an unexpected fern garden, you might say. I socked the old hanging baskets of fern down around a camellia sasanqua bush/tree, and the next spring they'd rooted into the ground. It took some doing to remove the old baskets, but now they've naturalized as a real fern bed. I also use the space for some pots of hosta.
Just mention this as an option when fall arrives and you have hanging fern baskets that MIGHT survive the winter to naturalize in your fern bed.
Here is a picture showing what I mean....the first pics from 2 years ago were lost in a hard drive failure, so no history to show how it started.
The hosta look beautiful with fern.

Elephant Metal Doorstopper 3 3
Seems pretty well made. This product is really intricately engraved. It's really sturdy/solid too, which is what I was looking for, seeing as though it will be holding back a door. Can't use it where there is rug though, because the start of it is too thick to fit under the door. Make sure you use it on a wood/flat floor. October 18, 2014
Cute but too small Cute but really, really small. Based on the picture, I was expecting more of a statement piece... Something with a little more personality. Also, the bottom of the doorstopper is really rough and I'm afraid it may scratch my floors if the wind pushes the door...and it is not solid so you cannot put any padding on. December 30, 2013
This product was a lot smaller than I anticipated. I bought this stopper to use for the door to the garage from the house. The stopper is light weight so it didn't really hold the door. The base is not high enough to hold the door open. I liked the look of the stopper and it matched my decor so I decided to keep it because the price was also good. I was able to elevate the stopper and weighted it down so it does what it needs to do by holding the door. Might be ok for bedroom doors. January 30, 2014

PORT RICHEY — A jealous husband attacked his wife and son with a bat early Friday, then impaled himself with a knife after deputies used a Taser to subdue him, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
The husband, Tracy George, 43, of 6411 Stone Road, wound up in the hospital, where he underwent surgery to remove the knife, sheriff's office spokesman Doug Tobin said.
