To what extent are the needs of severely disabled people met by community rehabilitation services? A follow-up study.
Kersten, Paula, McLellan, David Lindsay, George, Steve, Smith, Jennifer.A.E. and Mullee, Mark.A. (2000) To what extent are the needs of severely disabled people met by community rehabilitation services? A follow-up study. Disability and Rehabilitation, 22, (18), 855-861.
Full text not available from this repository.
Purpose : To evaluate which needs of disabled people would be
met over a one year follow-up period and to examine which
factors would be predictive of identifying those people who had
more needs met from those who had fewer needs met.
Method: A follow-up study of a cohort of community dwelling
disabled people (aged 16± 65) from two NHS Health Districts in
Southern England with contrasting patterns of rehabilitation
provision, who had participated in a cross-sectional interview
study one year previously which had assessed their met and
unmet needs. The Southampton Needs Assessment Questionnaire was used to examine needs. Disability was evaluated with the OPCS Disability and Severity Scales and perceived health status with the SF-36.
Results : Participation rate at follow-up was 92%. Of the 300
baseline unmet needs reported by 69 of the 77 participants 33%
had been met at follow-up. People whose disability had
increased more and}or whose mental health status had
improved more had greater percentages of their baseline needs
met. There was a non-signicant trend for smaller percentages
of baseline needs to be met in Basingstoke than in Southampton.
Conclusions : At ground level, disabled people's views were
taken into account, to some extent, in the provision of rehabilitation services. This input should be made at a higher
level, in the overall shaping of services.

What's In The Bush – Part 2: Birds
From TIES Member ECHIDNA WALKABOUT NATURE TOURS
Downunder is on top, for birds anyway!
This world map is upside down, because this really is the right way up when it comes to birdlife.

The world's biggest birds – Ostriches – can only be seen in Africa. Their similarly enormous relatives,...

How does a koala climb? Part 1: The claws
This article first appeared on the blog, Echidna Walkabout Nature Tours Australian Wildlife in the Wild
Koalas have very long, very sharp claws. Both hands and feet have claws on every digit, except the big toe!
The claws of the hands are particularly sharp and strong. Several times I've seen a koala slip and almost fall off a branch. But if even one claw has good contact with the tree, the koala can usually haul itself back up.
The sharpness of the claws helps a koala to climb big trees. If the tree is larger...
Local Consuming in Torres del Paine

Awareness about the advantages of consuming locally produced products luckily are growing. Everyone has their reasons: reducing their carbon footprint, helping local producers, eating healthier food, etc. However, in Patagonia the issue is even bigger: its remoteness makes importation necessary, yet expensive and environmentally unfriendly. When products are imported, a company's carbon footprint increases, as a result of the significant and...
Traveler Demand Supports Conservation in Developing Countries in 2015

Because of this income and employment-generating potential, governments and communities are increasingly protecting and placing greater value on resources tied to tourism, such as wildlife, protected lands and cultural heritage...

Ecotourism Generates 8 Billion Visits A Year
This original blog post first appeared in EcoWorldly
PLOS Biology, an open source, peer reviewed biology journal, has published a new study which estimates the world's protected environment areas generate 8 billion visits every year, 80% of them in Europe and North America. The numbers for the US say ecotourism generates approximately $600 billion annually in direct in-country expenditures and $250 billion each year in consumer surplus.
The point of the study is that protecting natural habitats from ecological damage is...

CapeNature Staff Act Fast To Save Rare Pangolin

While it may appear a cute animal to some, pangolins are not indigenous to the Western Cape and it is illegal to possess them in the province. Thus, this endangered wild animal had to be transported to another province where it could be reintroduced into a natural habitat...

When I look at old Lorain Journals from the 1950s and 60s, I'm constantly amazed at how many nightclubs and lounges there were in town offering live entertainment. It seems like almost any night you could go somewhere to dance to a combo, sit and listen to the song stylings of a singer, or enjoy a novelty act.
It made Lorain seem like a mini-Las Vegas.
A good case in point is the ad (at right) for Ben Hart's Show Bar at 651 Broadway that ran in the Journal on January 19, 1963 – fifty years ago. The bar offered up a whole lot of entertainment with no minimum and no cover charge. (Click on the ad for a larger version.)
There's The Infernos – direct from the Rubba Club in Columbus; Marlene West, vocalist – direct from Detroit; The Esta Trio, consisting of Esther Chazor on the piano, Billy Molas on the drums and Jack on bass.
But most importantly, there's Woody Ernhart, MC and comedian. I love the photo of him; he has an intense look on his face as he's dropping something into a cup – maybe a very small egg.
I'd love to know if Woody ever hit the big time.
But I've looked all over the internet to try and find out something about Woody and the rest of these acts with no success. Does anybody out there know anything about any of them? If so, please leave a comment or send me an email!

text: * Nikkei up 0.7 pct, Topix adds 0.5 pct * China Nov PMI rises to 7-month high * Construction firms up on repair work expectations - traders By Dominic Lau TOKYO, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average climbed to a seven-month high on Monday above the key 9,500-mark as a weaker yen and improved Chinese manufacturing data buoyed sentiment. By the midday break, the Nikkei was up 0.7 percent at 9,508.26 after rising as high as 9,525.82, or 0.8 percent. The benchmark has rallied 9.8 percent, led by exporters, over the past 2-1/2 weeks and the yen has fallen over the same period on speculation the Bank of Japan will be pushed to adopt aggressive policy action after a Dec. 16 national election. The Nikkei gained 5.8 percent last month to log its best monthly performance since February. Leader of the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party, Shinzo Abe, has been calling for the Bank of Japan to take bolder action, including setting a 2 percent inflation target and embarking on "unlimited easing". The LDP is expected to win the most seats and form the government after the election. "I don't believe all that Abe says, but at least the new government will push the BOJ to ease monetary conditions," Ryota Sakagami, chief strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities, said. "My understanding of the current market move is its mainly due to the catch up of high-beta exporting companies due to the global economic trend ... This process of catch up will continue until the Nikkei hits 10,000." Some exporters remained in demand, with Canon Inc, Ricoh Co Ltd and Nissan Motor Co up between 0.8 and 1.8 percent. Toyota Motor Corp was flat and the sixth-most traded stock on the main board by turnover as the auto maker still struggled to revive sales in China, part of a broader slump Japanese car firms are suffering as a result of a diplomatic dispute between the two neighbours. Still, Toyota shares have surged 15.5 percent in the past 2-1/2 weeks. But a senior trader at a foreign bank, who has more sell orders than buy requests, said the index was unlikely to hold above 9,500. "The 9,500-level is going to be very difficult to crack," he said. The currency was quoted at 82.37 yen to the dollar on Monday after falling as low as 82.75 yen on Friday which was near a 7-1/2-month low of 82.84 touched on Nov. 22. A rise in China's official purchasing managers' index to a seven-month high of 50.6 in November from 50.2 in October also lent support to the Japanese market as China is the country's top export market. CONSTRUCTION FIRMS BOOSTED Construction machinery makers Komatsu Ltd and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd, which have significant exposure to China, advanced 1.1 and 1.7 percent, respectively. Traders said they were also boosted by expectations of repair works on Japan's transport infrastructure, after a tunnel on a major highway in central Japan collapsed on Sunday, killing at least three people and starting a blaze. Japan Bridge Corp surged 26 percent, P.S. Mitsubishi Construction Co Ltd jumped 20.8 percent and Hazama Corp climbed 17.4 percent. The broader Topix put on 0.5 percent to 784.96 in active trade, with volume at 60 percent of its full daily average for the past 90 trading days. BNP Paribas said in a note that it proposed investors buy Nikkei dividends futures expiring in 2016 on expectations that Japanese exporters' earnings would benefit from a softer yen and Abe's reflationary policy, and hedge it with put swaptions on 2018 dividends futures. The benchmark Nikkei is up 12.5 percent this year, in line with a 12.6 percent rise in the U.S. S&P 500 and a 12.8 percent gain in the pan-European STOXX Europe 600. But Japanese equities carry a 12-month forward price-to-book ratio of 0.9, much cheaper than the S&P 500's 1.9 and the STOXX Europe 600's 1.4, data from Thomson Reuters Datastream showed.

From "Men of Mark" [[1]]under transcription on Wikisource:
His first published work was "Castilian Days," studies of Spanish life and character (1871);
1875 he published a translation of Emilio Castelar's treatise on "The Republican Movement in Europe."
1890 Mr. Hay published a volume of poems. He has been credited with the authorship of a remarkably strong novel entitled "The Bread Winners," dealing with the problem of labor, capital and strikes.
Some of the "Ballads " which appeared in his second published work were written during his college days and attained great popularity. The best known among the collection are "Jim Bludso" and "Little Breeches," which, owing to their pathos and their local color, must long retain their place in the affections of the American people.

He was a lieutenant in the Army of the United States: he saw no reason to sit in the back of the bus
ON JULY 6, 1944, Jackie Robinson, a twenty-five-year-old lieutenant, boarded an Army bus at Fort Hood, Texas. Sixteen months later he would be tapped as the man to break baseball's color barrier, but in 1944 he was one of thousands of blacks thrust into the Jim Crow South during World War II. He was with the light-skinned wife of a fellow black officer, and the two walked half the length of the bus, then sat down, talking amiably.Read more »
On a high Vermont hill, where Robert Frost liked to summer the sound of trees, he and I talked through many afternoons, speaking, as Frost put it, "to some purpose." He held forth on astronomy, mortality, baseball, poetry, and prose, displaying a command of phrase that I have never heard from anyone else. Frost ranged from Ben Jonson to John Lardner, bounded back to Emily Dickinson and stumbled against Ezra Pound, asserting more than once an unshakable ground rule: I was never publicly to quote him on writers or writing. When asked why, he was ready.Read more »
On April 15 Jackie Robinson started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers in their opening-day game against the Boston Braves. In so doing, he became the first African-American to play in the major leagues since an abortive attempt at integration in 1884. Robinson's courageous breaking of the color line would eventually have great repercussions inside baseball and out. Yet on the day of his momentous debut, fans and journalists alike were oddly blasé.

Living in History
Arizona's historic districts are welcoming a new generation of homeowners. Will today's New Urbanists continue preserving the old?
Jimmy Magahern | Jan 5, 2012, 9:34 a.m.
"A big part of the attraction in an area like this is the vastly different architectural styles," says Eric Johnstone, who's lived in the Encanto-Palmcroft district of Phoenix for 18 years. "When these houses were originally built, there were building restrictions on height and proximity to the sidewalks and things like that, but for the most part, you could do whatever you wanted to do. If you wanted your house to have Greek columns or Japanese ornamentation, that seemed to be fine. So there's a great diversity of style in these neighborhoods."
Today, residents can still do whatever they like to the inside of their homes, but they're severely restricted in what they can do with the front of their house, as one resident in Fairview Place discovered after applying to make renovations to her Cape Cod-style home. Paulla Reres, who says she moved into her home one year before the neighborhood was designated historic, proposed expanding the front porch using artificial wood siding and replacing all of the steel casement windows with more energy-efficient white vinyl sliders. In a three-year City Council battle that has drawn in the mayor and, some say, led to the controversial re-assigning of Historic Preservation Office head Barbara Stocklin to the light-rail department, Reres' demands have repeatedly been rejected on the grounds that the entire district could lose its historic preservation status if enough houses followed her lead to replace vintage features with modern.
"People don't like to conform to requirements," says Diane Mihalsky, who lives in a 74-year-old early ranch-style Cape Cod in Phoenix's Yaple Park district, where neighbors are currently fighting over whether or not to keep the area's 80-year-old irrigation system.
"Some residents truly don't appreciate these homes. They just look at it as an old house. And there are some only interested in the land, who'd like to pay for a demolition permit, knock it down and start over" — a move, incidentally, that historic associations are usually successful in delaying for years.
"Our feeling is, you know what you're moving into when you buy a historic home," Mihalsky adds. "In our neighborhood, there are people who complain about the smell of the irrigation waters — but that's part of the history! Whenever I hear that kind of talk, I just want to scream, 'Then why don't you move to Anthem!'"
A 'Leave It To Beaver' Life
Gerry and Marge McCue know what it takes to get one of those little blue signs designating a neighborhood as a historic district by the National Register of Historic Places.
"It takes a tremendous amount of work!" says Gerry, recounting how he and Marge, along with 10 other neighbors, struggled for four years to document everything needed to be placed on the national listing. "I'm sure we looked like the village idiots, walking around with all these 3-by-5 index cards, drawing pictures and writing down the characteristics of each house. We had a couple people down in the Capital basement, looking at microfiche to get the history of any house that looked like it had been built in the '30s."

Traditional economy
Part of a series on |
Economic systems |
By regional model
A traditional economy is an original economic system in which traditions, customs, and beliefs shape the goods and the products the society creates. Countries that use this type of economic system are often rural and farm-based. Also known as a subsistence economy, a traditional economy is defined by bartering and trading. Little surplus is produced, and if any excess goods are made, they are typically given to a ruling authority or landowner. A pure traditional economy has had no changes in how it operates (there are few of these today). Examples of traditional economies include those of the Inuit or those of the tea plantations in South India.[1] Traditional economies are popularly conceived of as "primitive" or "undeveloped" economic systems, having tools or techniques seen as outdated.[2] As with the notion of contemporary primitiveness and with modernity itself, the view that traditional economies are backwards is not shared by scholars in economics and anthropology.
Traditional economies may be based on custom and tradition or command,[3] with economic decisions based on customs or beliefs of the community, family, clan, or tribe.[4]

Bruce Mau (born October 25, 1959) is a Canadian designer. From 1985-2010, Mau was the creative director of Bruce Mau Design (BMD), and the founder of the Institute without Boundaries. In 2010 Mau went on to establish The Massive Change Network in Chicago. He started as a graphic designer but later veered his career towards the worlds of architecture, art, museums, film, eco-environmental design, and conceptual philosophy.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Mau was born in Sudbury, Ontario. He studied at the Ontario College of Art & Design in Toronto, but left prior to graduation in order to join the Fifty Fingers design group in 1980. He stayed there for two years, before crossing the ocean for a brief sojourn at Pentagram in the UK. Returning to Toronto a year later, he became part of the founding triumvirate of Public Good Design and Communications. Soon after, the opportunity to design Zone 1/2 presented itself and he left to establish his own studio, Bruce Mau Design. Zone 1/2: The Contemporary City, a complex compendium of critical thinking about urbanism from philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze and Paul Virilio, architects Rem Koolhaas and Christopher Alexander remains one of his most notable works. The firm has produced work for the Andy Warhol Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Gagosian Gallery.[2] Mau remained the design director of Zone Books until 2004, to which he has added duties as co-editor of Swerve Editions, a Zone imprint. From 1991 to 1993, he also served as creative director of I.D. magazine.[citation needed]
From 1996 to 1999, he was the associate cullinan professor at Rice University School of Architecture in Houston. He has also been a thesis advisor at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Architecture, Landscape & Design; artist in residence at California Institute of the Arts; and a visiting scholar at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. He has lectured widely across North America and Europe, and currently serves on the International Advisory Committee of the Wexner Center in Columbus, Ohio.[citation needed]
In addition, Mau is an honorary fellow of the Ontario College of Art & Design and a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. He was awarded the Chrysler Award for Design Innovation in 1998, and the Toronto Arts Award for Architecture and Design in 1999. In 2001 he received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. He is also a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council.[3]
In 1998, Mau produced a 43 point program called an Incomplete Manifesto for Growth that attempts to help designers and creative folks think about their design process. The manifesto has been widely circulated on the web since then.[4]
In 2006, he participated in the Stock Exchange of Visions.
Mau is married to Aiyemobisi "Bisi" Williams (1966) and they have three daughters named Osunkemi, Omalola, and Adeshola (named in honor of Bisi Williams's Nigerian heritage).[1]
As of 2007, Mau was in residence at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, in the Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Design Objects Department.[citation needed]
In 2009 Bruce Mau and Bisi Williams founded the Massive Change Network.[5]
In the 2010s, Bruce Mau Design was involved in the redevelopment and redesign of Ontario's ONroute service centres.[6]

(AP) -- A global vaccine group says the World Health Organization will pass an important resolution later this week to step up efforts against pneumonia.
Former Irish President Mary Robinson says the GAVI alliance, a partner of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, wants to send pneumonia and rotavirus vaccines to more than 40 developing countries. But it needs $2.6 billion in funding through 2015.
Robinson, GAVI's chairwoman, said Tuesday that WHO's support was a "terrific step forward. Pneumonia is the biggest child killer, and there's such an inequity to it."
Britain proposed the resolution at WHO's 193-nation World Health Assembly. It will likely be passed Friday.
Britain's GlaxoSmithKline and U.S.-based Pfizer Inc. make pneumonia vaccines.

A couple members are also serving on the Lehigh County Technical Rescue Team. Most members are trained to at least First Responder with several EMT's and a Paramedic also serving the local BLS/ALS ambulance service. While the Neffs area could still be considered rural, it is rapidly becoming suburban with the addition of many housing developments and commercial space. Neffs has recently implemented a QRS to assist the ever increasingly overworked ems crews. Members have also recently agreed to purchase an 85 ft. Smeal tower ladder, this resource has been needed in the township for a while.

"Gangster Squad," a pulpy, violent tale of cops and mobsters in 1949 Los Angeles, rides an uncomfortable line between outlandishness and outright parody, and it's difficult to tell which is director Ruben Fleischer's intention. Which is a problem.
While the film wallows in period detail and has some sporadic moments of amusing banter, it's mostly flashy, empty and cacophonous, and it woefully wastes a cast led by Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in one-note roles.
At its center is a performance from Sean Penn as mob king Mickey Cohen in which he doesn't just chew up the scenery, he rolls it around in his mouth like a handful of marbles, then spits it back out again and blows it to bits with a tommy gun for good measure. He's as cartoony as a Dick Tracy villain. While "Gangster Squad" certainly has its intended moments of humor, the laughs Penn's performance prompts might not have been part of the plan.
Or maybe they were -- who knows?
The script from former Los Angeles police homicide detective Will Beall, based on the book "Gangster Squad" by ex-Los Angeles Times writer Paul Lieberman, focuses on a time of flux in the city after World War II. Gang control of crime, cops and politicians had spread to the West Coast. Cohen had everyone of importance in his pocket and was on the verge of expanding his reach even further with a power play that would give him a piece of every wire bet placed in the Western United States.
The gruff and grizzled police chief (a gruff and grizzled Nick Nolte) realizes the only way to conquer Cohen is to fight by his rules -- that is, no rules at all. So he asks Sgt. John O'Mara (Brolin), a principled, heroic war veteran, to put together a band of outsiders to destroy his empire without serving warrants or making arrests.
His sidekick is the reluctant Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Gosling, chain smoking and speaking in a weird, whispery voice), who prefers booze and women to trouble. Nevertheless, he makes the mistake of getting involved with Mickey's moll, the classy, wannabe-star Grace. Stone is gorgeous with her wavy red locks, glam makeup and sexy gowns, but there's not much to her besides looking good, which is a huge waste.
The rest of the team consists of tried-and-true types, each of whom gets a one-liner here or there: the folksy, old-school gunslinger (Robert Patrick), the nerdy tech guru (Giovanni Ribisi) and -- most dismayingly -- the token black and Hispanic members, played by, respectively, Anthony Mackie and Michael Pena. Seriously, that's all they're given to work with, and these are charismatic actors ordinarily capable of great command.
"Gangster Squad" was supposed to have come out last year, and originally featured a climactic shootout in which gangsters fire automatic weapons from behind a movie screen at Hollywood's historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre. After the July shooting at a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo., that scene clearly had to be removed, which required extensive reshoots and a release-date change from September until now.
Don't expect a kinder, gentler film. "Gangster Squad" is brutal, with a barrage of gunfire that becomes deafening and, ultimately, boring. In the end, who lives and who dies doesn't really matter. It's all just noise disguised as entertainment.

Canada has issued a travel alert warning people going to the Caribbean to protect themselves against the Chikungunya disease now spreading in the region.
Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes, according to the WHO. It causes fever and severe joint pain, as well as muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash.
In its latest travel update on the virus, the Public Health Agency of Canada said the virus has spread to countries in Central and South America as well as the United States.
It urged travellers to first consult a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic at least six weeks before going to the Caribbean.
WHO said the disease shares some clinical signs with dengue. It is highly likely that a person afflicted with the Chikungunya disease might be misdiagnosed with dengue, especially if s/he is in an area where dengue is common.
WHO said there is no cure yet for the Chikungunya disease. Instead, treatment is focused on relieving the symptoms.
"Most patients recover fully, but in some cases joint pain may persist for several months, or even years. Occasional cases of eye, neurological and heart complications have been reported, as well as gastrointestinal complaints. Serious complications are not common, but in older people, the disease can contribute to the cause of death," the WHO said on its Web site.
The disease occurs in Africa, Asia and the Indian subcontinent. In recent decades mosquito vectors of chikungunya have spread to Europe and the Americas. In 2007, disease transmission was reported for the first time in a localized outbreak in north-eastern Italy.
WHO advised travellers to wear long sleeves and pants when in the Caribbean, as well as check if their accommodations are fitted with screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering.
WHO also advised using repellents containing contain DEET (N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), IR3535 (3-[N-acetyl-N-butyl]-aminopropionic acid ethyl ester) or icaridin (1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpropylester).

Audio Drama Tip
Okay, I listened to a few audio dramas, some new and some from a while back, and I learned this from both experiences.
In animation, people see the character and must determine if your voice fits. This also adds something because you usually have an image of the character to work with. In audio drama, you have NO imagery. It's all about sound, so you have to put as much work into your voice as you can to make sure people visualize just what the character is supposed to be. And, since you don't really have a picture in hand, you have to rely on imagination and experience, too. |

The historical roots of agricultural protectionism in Europe are deep – going back to the 19th century. Agriculture is not special in itself but a classical example of special interests defending their rents to the detriment of collective welfare.
Lessons from the 2009 EU dairy market crisis
The EU dairy market is now recovering from the severe drop in milk prices in 2009.

It is thus an opportune time to [...]

Can the old policy instruments have any effect?
The resort to intervention buying and export refunds in the dairy sector has been predictably bad PR for the EU, especially in the southern hemisphere. But a more fundamental question is, can these tired old policy instruments work any magic in a deep economic crisis?
Return of the butter mountain
It was the recession of the 1930s that ushered in agricultural protectionism and subsidies, not least in the United States. Now the European Union has reverted to two of its old favourite policy instruments: intervention buying and export subsidies in the dairy sector just when we thought we had seen the last of them.

12'x12' (15 people) 15'x15' (22 people) 15'x30' (45 people) 16x16 (26 people) 20x20 (40 people) 20x30 (60 people) 20x40 (80 people) 30x30 (90-100 people) 30x45 (140 people) 30x60 (180 people) 30x75 (220 people) 30'x90' (260 people) 30'x105' (300 people) 40x40 (160 people) 40x60 (240 people) 40x80 (320 people) 40'x100' (400 people) 40'x120' (480 people)
Q: How will I know if I can fit a certain tent in the area I have? A: First thing that you need to do is measure the area in which you want to put the tent. You must add 10 feet to the dimensions for staking. (This means that if you want a 20 x 40 tent then you need an area that is at least 30 x 50). This area must be flat with no obstacles in the way such as bushes, fences, rocks, trees, swing sets, pools, patios, decks or any other objects. We will need a height clearance of around 18 feet. If the dimensions that you come up do not meet our requirements then we will be unable to install your tent. If your area is close to these requirements or if you have a concern then please email us a couple of digital photos of the area along with the measurements to email@example.com. We will respond as soon as possible with whether or not the tent is going to fit. If the tent is going on a patio and can not be staked then you will need to get a frame tent. If the tent is going on asphalt you must notify us at least 2 days prior to your installation date. We may need to drill into the asphalt in order to stake the tent, but we will fill the holes with real tar after the removal. There is an extra charge for this.
Q: Do prices include set up and delivery? A: Set up is included in all our prices, whenever you rent from Big Top you never lift a finger. We realize how busy you are getting ready for your event and we want you to leave all the legwork to us. We do have delivery charges in all areas, call for more details.
Q: I am ready to make my reservation how do I go about placing an order? A: When you are 100% sure you know what you want and have a set date, call our office at (978) 858-0250 to place your order. We will then check availability, go over pricing and answer any questions or concerns you may at the time of ordering. If the equipment you want is available we will then fill out a contract and mail it out or you can visit our office to pick it up and apply your down-payment. All reservations require a 33% non-refundable down-payment and the understanding of our rental contract. We do not "pencil anyone in" or accept emailed, faxed or mailed in orders.
Q: How far in advance should I reserve the equipment I need for my event? A: Once you have chosen a date and know what you need, DO NOT hesitate, call us as soon as possible to reserve the equipment you need for your event. Most commonly a 1 month notice is sufficient though it all depends on the demand for that day.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept? A: We accept checks, money orders, cash and all major credit cards. All reservations require a 33% non-refundable down-payment and the understanding of our rental contract. Payment in full is due prior to or at the time of delivery.
Q: How long does it take for Big Top to set up? A: The average set up is usually 30 minutes.
Q: Do I need to be present when Big Top delivers or sets up? A: As long as we have a signed contract you do not have to be present. We will need you to leave us all phone numbers where you can be reached at during the day of your installation. Put a check in an envelope and tape it to the front or back door if you have not called our office with a credit card number. Also include in the envelope a diagram of your yard where the tent goes. Use sticks or lawn furniture to mark out where the tent goes. If you have a sprinkler system, septic tank or anything in the ground on your property we should be told about before staking then you will need to be present to point out where we should not stake so our stakes dont hit anything.
Q: When should I have my lawn cut before my party? A: Make sure you DO NOT cut your grass the day of your tent install. The green sap that is left on the surface of your lawn will stain our equipment as we have to lay most of it on the ground during our install. Another reason would be is that we wouldnt want your landscaper or yourself to interfere with the installation of your party. It is always best to leave your grass a little long. Grass wears better when it is longer. If your party were on a Saturday you would want your lawn to be mowed no later than Wednesday. Cutting your lawn after the tent has been installed can be extremely difficult with all the poles and stakes in the way.
Q: Should I rent sidewalls for my tent in case it rains? A: That all depends. It does not rain sideways and sidewalls will increase the temperature under your tent by 10-15 degrees. Sidewalls are good if it is cold out, for privacy (maybe a disliked nosy neighbor) or if you want to block out an unattractive view close to where your tent is set up.
Q: What is your rain date policy? A: We do not allow our customers to cancel if it rains out. All of our items, with the exception of our moonwalkers, are usable outside when it rains as long as the equipment is under a tent or indoors. If you do rent a moonwalker and it is raining out that day and we feel that there is enough rain to classify unusable we will not set it up and refund your deposit 100%. However if we do set it up and receive some unexpected rain we will not issue any refund.
Q: What is your policy for cancellation and order adjustments? A: Cancellations may occur by contacting our office at 978-858-0250. The non-refundable down-payment of 33% will be forfeited in event of cancellation. A $25 processing fee will also be imposed in the event customer cancels and needs a refund on payment exceeding 33%. Table and Chair reductions will not be accepted within 3 weeks of event date; customer shall be responsible for 33% of total due as liquidated damages in the event we are not given at least 3 weeks notice. You may add to your order based on availability.
Q: Whats the difference between a frame tent and a pole tent? A: A pole tent is held up by tension and requires anywhere from 12-40 stakes. A frame tent requires minimal staking, maybe 4-6 stakes, and is held up by a piped frame. People usually order framed tents when they want their tent in an area where they can't or dont want to stake. You can use water barrels instead of stakes ONLY on a frame tent. Water barrels can not be used on pole tents. We will not install any tent unless it is staked.
Q: How long do you rent the moonwalkers for and how big is it? A: When renting a moonwalker you must provide constant adult supervision during the entire time the moonwalker is set up. Hundreds of children are injured each year all across the country on moonwalkers. Just about all injuries occurred when there was no adult supervision. Following the rules and having proper supervision will decrease any chances of injury. We at Big Top feel that your average party lasts 4-5 hours and that it can be extremely difficult to provide adult supervision any longer than that so we limit our moonwalk rentals to 5 hours on each rental.
*NOTE: All our moonwalkers are 15 x 15 and come with a big blue foam safety step that will allow jumpers to enter and exit safely. If your shopping around make sure you ask what size you are getting. The bigger the safer!
Q: How many tables and chairs can I fit under my tent? A:
15 x 30= 4-5 tables, 45 chairs 16 x 16= 4 tables, 26 chairs 20 x 20= 6 tables, 40 chairs 20 x 30= 8 tables, 60 chairs 20 x 40= 10 tables, 80 chairs 30 x 30= 12 tables, 90 chairs 30 x 45= 17 tables, 140 chairs 30 x 60= 22 tables, 180 chairs 30 x 75= 26 tables, 220 chairs 30 x 90= 30 tables, 260 chairs 30 x 105= 34 tables, 300 chairs 40 x 40= 20 tables, 160 chairs 40 x 60= 30 tables, 240 chairs 40 x 80= 40 tables, 320 chairs 40 x 100= 50 tables, 400 chairs 40 x 120= 60 tables, 480 chairs (based on seating 10 to each table and other tables being used for food, gifts or displays)
Q: I need to rent a dance floor, what size will I need? A: Dance floor sections come in 4 x 4 foot sections. Each section can hold up to 4 1/2 people and cost $24.50 per outside section or $22.50 per indoor section. Below is a list of sizes and sections:
*All our dance floors must be under a tent or used indoors and set up on a flat clean area. It is very important to keep our dance floors dry and clean
IMPORTANT TIPS: It is always best to set your chairs up the day of your event. Pollen and dust can build up when they set them up a day or two before then you may find your guest complaining about dirty chairs.
Make sure that you shut your sprinkler systems off while our equipment is set up on your property. Water and rain will absolutely damage our equipment. It is also very important that you make sure that all our equipment is set up under a tent or stored in a garage to keep the water away.

This request appears NOT to have come via a proxy.
The request appears to have originated from host ec2-50-16-118-223.compute-1.amazonaws.com which has ip address 126.96.36.199
The Lagado Proxy Test shows details of any proxy servers you are using. It is especially useful to expose transparent proxies. These are proxies inserted between your browser and the web, typically by your ISP, and often without you knowing.
Sometimes a proxy will be deliberately hidden so it won't be exposed by this test. In this case you can use the Cache Test to expose stealthed transparent proxy caches.

I have a feeling that most are over-estimating the impact that Babin is likely to have in his first year. Here are some early stats from other good 3-4 OLBs carreers.
Kevin Greene Season Team Games Sacks 1985 LAM 15 0.0 1986 LAM 16 7.0 1987 LAM 9 6.5 1988 LAM 16 16.5 Greg Lloyd 1988 PIT 4 .5 1989 PIT 16 7 1990 PIT 14 4.5 1991 PIT 16 8 Jason Gildon 1994 PIT 16 2 1995 PIT 16 5 1996 PIT 14 12 1997 PIT 16 12 1998 PIT 16 12 There are exceptions (ie. Suggs' 12 sacks last year) but I would view a 6-8 sack season from Babin as a success, and even that may be overly optimistic--even LT took 3 years to get into double-digits. |

I would agree that 6-8 sacks is a success for Babin as well. If folks are optimistic it is because we gave up a lot to get him and the expectations on a guy like that are very high. As they should be. Why would you draft a guy if you did not have an idea of what he could do and what the team needs? No one drafts a player with the idea in mind that he will hit rock bottom. I know that that is not your point - but I hope that you can see the point that I am trying to make. Your are just counter-reacting to the hype on Babin and I respect that. Your position has its merit. With me it is more like cautious optimism and a wait and see approach.
Besides - when you look at everything who doesn't want the Texans to just dominate? I know I do. And I hope that Babin helps with that. On a side note, I do believe that our secondary will be the weak link next year IMO - not the D-line or the backers. |

I think that I am going to expect a Posey-like year out of Babin. Posey produced decent pressure, a decent amount of sacks, but was fairly one-dimensional. Posey was one-dimensional because of limitations in his game but Babin will likely be a bit one-dimensional because of his experience in changing from DE to OLB although I expect Babin to be better against the run than Posey was. Babin will likely be weak in coverage in the flat and his run/pass reads. One step of hesitation gets you beat in the NFL. The game just moves too fast to think about what you are doing before you react to what you see.

I think you are forgetting the D line last year getting run over , many blockers getting to the second lvl meaning tackles are going to be made 5+ yards down-field ..... Not saying Foreman is an AllPro or anything but he is a steady performer if not spectacular and does work hard Last edited by Corrosion; 06-08-2004 at 12:38 AM. |

I haven't forgotten. I didn't like him in 2002 either. Jamie Sharper plays right beside him and he didn't have nearly as many problems with Guards and getting good licks on backs at the LOS.

RBs in the flat
With Wong being used more consistantly as a pass-rusher, I'm sure it's going to be frustrating seeing RBs catch the ball underneath and gain 15 yards. With Sharper an adequate cover LB alongside Foreman (poor) and Babin (inexperienced), it's bound to be an achilles heel this year. But, hey, I prefer that to the QB having 7 seconds to throw the ball or the RB having 5 yards of daylight before he reaches any defenders.

If memory serves me correctly, and it might not, wasnt Sharper an OLB in college and with the Ravens? If so, why havent they toyed with the idea of moving Wong back inside and Sharper back out? Just curious...

Device: kobo touch/Kobo wi-fi
Syncing with Borders desktop re-opens already read books
I am a new Kobo owner and new to this Forum (or any forum for that matter). I love my new Kobo but now that I have 10 purchased books everytime I sync through the Borders desktop it reopens books I have already read and just picks random percentage read or marks read books as unread entirely???? I know that I can scroll to the last page and it then marks it as read again but I read approx 3-5 books a week so this will be hugely inconvenient. I called Kobo service 3 times today! What a joke! They had me do a reset which is a major pain b/c I had to reset all of my info. Then when they advised I should sync to get my purchased books back onto Kobo ALL WERE MARKED AS unread!!!! (except the two that kept showing up as partially read with everyother sync). They then told me a "tier two" csr would contact me via email. So they left me with a bigger mess and I doubt I will hear back from anyone based on what I have since read regarding their customer service. A previos thread I read said to just purchase through wireless which is probably what I will have to do but with out a true keyboard what a pain! Any other suggestions?

I think you problem is likely that you forget the desktop app is acting as a device just like the e-reader or an ipad or mobile phone and any new bookmark will result in a transfer upon syncing. So, if you open any of those books on the desktop app, it will be transferred to the e-reader the next time you sync. The new bookmarks from the desktop app books will then show up in your reader. That's the purpose of the bookmark system. Try this. Sync the e-reader and let it do all its transferring, and then sync it again. You'll see the second time you sync no books are transferred. You can sync as many times you want and no books will be transferred because you haven't touched the books on the desktop. Now, don't open or click the mouse on any of those books on the desktop app until you purchase a new book. Then, once a new book is transferred to the desktop app after an Update, you'll see it is shown as New. Now do a sync. Only that one new book will be transferred and none of your e-reader bookmarks will change. Moral. Don't touch the books on the desktop. If you want to read them on your computer use ADE. ltr |

Wichita A former Northwest High School choir teacher plans to fight a state law that prohibits sex with adult students.
Thirty-year-old Charles L. Edwards was convicted Thursday of having unlawful sex with a student. He admitted to having sex with an 18-year-old female student while teaching vocal music at Wichita Northwest High School.
Edwards' attorney, Steve Mank, says Edwards agreed to the conviction so he could appeal the state law that makes it illegal to have sex with a student of any age.
Mank told the Wichita Eagle that he plans to argue on appeal that the law is unconstitutional when it involves consensual sex with an adult student.
Edwards will be sentenced May 17.

I'm using Stata 8 via Windows, and my Review window (displaying all historical commands) has disappeared. Selecting Window - Review will not bring it back. It might be that Stata thinks it's still there, but displaying it somewhere off the screen, even though I've made Stata take up the entire size of the screen. Does anyone know of a simple way to bring it back, aside from re-installing Stata (e.g. by restoring factory settings).

Tuning Out ObamaPosted on Feb 1, 2014By Mike Whitney, CounterPunch This piece first appeared at CounterPunch. If you didn't catch Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, you're not alone. According to Nielsen ratings, Obama's hour-long presentation garnered less than 34 million viewers, an all-time low for the president and the "second-lowest rated since Nielsen began recording viewership in 1993." Apparently, Americans would rather spend their time watching Simpsons reruns or fiddling with their iPhones than listening to the pompous pronouncements of the Dissembler in Chief. And good for them. It goes to show that no one really believes that a junior senator with a pedigree in community organizing is setting policy for the world's only superpower. The idea is ridiculous. Obama is merely the mask that conceals the ruthless machinery of Empire. The real power lies beyond the veil, in the Deep State apparatus which decides everything from drone strikes to Gitmo, from NSA dragnets to habeas corpus, from deficit-slashing austerity to the "pivot to Asia". Obama has no say-so in any of these decisions. He's merely a public relations invention whose job is to look sincerely into the teleprompter while announcing the latest round of budget cuts or more of the deeply-regressive social policies his puppetmasters crave. That's his job and everyone knows it. Only now– judging by the SOTU ratings— he's even failing at that task. Why? Advertisement Square, Site wide Because no one's listening anymore. They've tuned him out, which means he's lost his ability to shape public opinion. President Snake-oil has become completely irrelevant, a non-factor in advancing elite policy. His presidency is effectively over. Good riddance. That said, there have been some fine summaries of the SOTU speech that are worth reviewing. The best of these were posted on the World Socialist Web Site whose analysis (as usual) was laser sharp. Here's a blurb from a piece by Bill van Auken: Bravo, Van Auken! "An ossified ritual…. filled with fraudulent claims and promises that no one… believes in the slightest." That sums it up perfectly, doesn't it? Joseph Kishore, who also writes for the World Socialist Web Site, posted an equally impressive piece titled "Obama's State of the Union address: An empty and reactionary charade". Here's a clip: Both articles are worth reading in full. Obama's abysmal State of the Union ratings suggest that the country has turned against him. People don't trust the president anymore and they certainly don't want to listen to his lying bullshit for an hour or so. It's easier just to change the channel … which millions of them did.
