I would like to present a simple library that helps a lot with relative design of application. This is a lightweight and quick to implement class, that does resizing and repositioning for you. The code is a result of experience with Flash Platform development in ActionScript 3.
We all know such basic WinForm params like Top, Left, Right, Bottom, but this is definitely not enough and when size is changed, each component must be replaced by additional code lines.
Anyone who also uses Flex/FlashBuilder will see similarities between Flex design positioning and Relative Design class, but during development, I add more options to fill missing features.
To add/remove and invoke resizing, use main class RelativeLayout.
Button myButton = new Button(); // adding new control : Position position = RelativeLayout.Add(myButton); // remove control by element: RelativeLayout.Remove(myButton); // or position instance : RelativeLayout.Remove(position);
Each child registers parent to RelativeLayout index and when control is resized, on each child Resize function is called:
Button myButton = new Button(); Control myContainer = this; // add item to container myContainer.Controls.Add(myButton); // force invalidation : RelativeLayout.ReplaceContainer(myContainer);
Note: When target control changes parent, it will be resized automatically.
This will be the biggest part that needs to be described. First - all possible values and descriptions:
All values are split in vertical and horizontal (works the same but at different name and direction):
All values are Floats , because we will need specific value like NaN or fractions to relative to size values. If any value is NaN, that means it is not used in repositioning.
Note: RelativeHorizontal/RelativeVertical is overriding Horizontal/Vertical values.
Horizontal/Vertical values
Setting is simple, what we set, this is going to be used, so let's look at some examples below:
// set item that will align to right , top and has always 1/10 size of container : Position pos1 = RelativeDesigne.Add(myControl); pos1.Right = 0; pos1.Width = -0.1f; pos1.Top = 0; // align to center and always has 20 pixels width : Position pos2 = RelativeDesigne.Add(myControl); pos2.Horizontal = 0; pos2.Vertical = 0; pos2.Width = 20; // always 25% of horizontal size , offset from right and bottom to center : Position pos3 = RelativeDesigne.Add(myControl); pos3.Right = 10; pos3.Vertical = 0; pos3.Bottom = 0; pos3.Width = -0.25f; // align horizontal to 20% of screen on vertical offset : Position pos4 = RelativeDesigne.Add(myControl); pos4.RelativeHorizontal = 0.2f; pos4.Vertical = 20;
Left is setting space from left border, but when you set left and right values, target control will start on left offset and end on right offset. Same with setting center value and border, component will be placed between offsets.
Center values have two options relative or absolute. When using relative (like RelativeHorizontal), do not forget about specifying the correct float, between 0-1. Absolute value provides offset, positive to right or bottom of center, negative values move element to top and left. When using center values , component align is moved to center.
In simple words, to use the library, add component to list, get its Position object, set position and size values. That's all!
That is a cool small item I would like to share. It will be nice to have any feedback about issues, requested features or such things. Feel free to email me.

This is a custom-painted Angry Birds bra from Etsy seller SceeneSchoes. She'll paint you one in sizes 34A to 38DD for $35, although you and I both know 34A's should really get a discount. That's price-gouging! You should be price-groping. Get it? Because that's what you do... / Continue →

Everything is very fresh. They have a limited menu but there are several good choices for vegetarians. Good value. Nice for a quick lunch, but I wouldn't recommend Monsieur Vuong for dinner. Very fast service even though it was crowded. Waitron was hurried but efficient. Sat outside at one of the community tables on the sidewalk. Nice way to meet others.
If you own or manage Monsieur Vuong, register now for free tools to enhance your listing, attract new reviews, and respond to reviewers.

Spring Break Activities at Huntsville Botanical Garden Will Be Hugely Entertaining
March 13, 2013
- Big things are happening at Huntsville Botanical Garden and just in time for the perfect Spring Break "staycation." To help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Garden, the opening of "Giant Garden, Little Me - Great BIG Things for Me to See" takes the "big" statement literally. Items that might be found in someone's backyard are oversized and interactive, from watering cans and grass blades to sandboxes, tables, and chairs, all designed locally by Carol Lambdin, Landscape Architect and Garden project lead for the exhibit, and built by Lambdin and the amazing volunteers at the Garden. The spring break party begins opening day of "Giant Garden, Little Me" on March 23, 2013.
Visitors can get wet under the 8-foot Super Soaker Sprinkler that really oscillates, and the Grand Watering Can that waters kids as well as plants. They can play a game of Colossal Croquet or King-sized Checkers and dig in the Supersized Sandbox, complete with 90 tons of sand and its own Storybook Castle. And that's not all! They will have fun exploring "Big Dogs" dog house, dining at the Papa Bear Pic-a-nic Table, and running through the Ginormous Grass Blades complete with bubbling and misting dandelions.
The exhibits are interactive, and many of them will be additions to the water feature exhibits that are so popular at the Garden.
This HUGELY entertaining extravaganza, all part of the "Giant Garden, Little Me - Great BIG Things for Me to See" exhibit will be open March 23 - September 30 at the Garden, proudly sponsored by Redstone Federal Credit Union. With so many GIANT things to explore, being little has never been so much fun!
On Wednesday, March 27, 2013, the Southeastern Raptor Center out of Auburn, AL will bring their popular birds of prey for two performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., complete with the Auburn's War Eagle, Golden Eagle Nova, in attendance. The Education Unit staff will bring birds of prey that typically include a variety of hawks, eagles, falcons and owls. There is a $2 charge for the Raptor Show, and Garden admission for non-members. The Raptor Show is sponsored by Wild Birds Unlimited.
Spend some time at Huntsville Botanical Garden during spring break. Hours are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Garden admission is free for members, and for non-members the standard rates are adults, $12, and children 3-18, $8. Children under 3 are free.

Biographical/Historical Information
Arrand Parsons was born on July 26, 1918, in Ellerbe, North Carolina. Parsons devoted his life to the study and teaching of music theory, joining the faculty of Northwestern University in 1946 and remaining until his retirement in 1984. He died on June 22, 2001.
Parsons was given the first name of Pleasants but dropped it early in life. Parsons obtained a B.S. degree in music education at Teachers College, Columbia University, in 1939, and an M.Ed. from Graduate Teachers College in 1944. From Northwestern University he earned an M.Mus. in theory and composition in 1946 and a Ph.D. in 1953. His doctoral dissertation was entitled, "Dissonance in the Fantasies and Sonatas of Henry Purcell."
From 1938 to 1943 and 1944 to 1945 Parsons served as director of music at the Pleasant Hill (Tennessee) Academy. He came to Northwestern University as an instructor in 1946 and was promoted to assistant professor (1954), associate professor (1958), and professor (1964). All his appointments were in the theory of music. Parsons served as assistant dean of the School of Music from 1964 to 1967. He retired from Northwestern University in 1984 with the rank of professor emeritus.
Parsons annotated the programs of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for thirty years and of the Ravinia Festival for almost as long.
He and Margaret Hutchinson were married on June 10, 1944. They had two children: Mary Agnes Nichter and Martha Weiland. Arrand Parsons died on June 22, 2001.
Scope and Content
The Arrand Parsons papers fill six and one-half boxes and span the period 1942-1988. They are arranged in two major categories: correspondence and teaching and professional files. Included as well are a few folders of biographical materials and one of publications.
Correspondence is divided into general and subject categories. The general correspondence, arranged chronologically, primarily concerns Parsons' teaching and speaking activities. Subject correspondence pertains mainly to Northwestern-related matters.
The teaching and professional files form the bulk of the series. These include some lecture notes and other materials related to courses Parsons taught, a few folders concerning a proposed program of graduate study at Northwestern for the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and nearly four boxes of correspondence and teaching materials pertaining to the Contemporary Music Project. Established in 1963, the Contemporary Music Project was supported by the Ford Foundation and administered by the Music Educators National Conference. It represented a major enhancement of the Ford Foundation's Young Composers Project instituted in 1959. That program placed young composers in public schools to write for their performing groups. The Contemporary Music Project expanded these activities, supported additional seminars and workshops, and inaugurated pilot programs relating to music education at the elementary and secondary school levels. Parsons served as Midwest Regional Director of the Project's Institute for Music in Contemporary Education. Regional institutes were established in 1966 to emphasize creativity in musicianship and to broaden methods and goals of music education. Parsons also worked directly with the Contemporary Music Project in other roles and through participation in several of its committees.
Of interest in the teaching and professional files is a folder of materials on Northwestern School of Music master classes. The folder includes two letters to Parsons from Lotte Lehman.
Arrangement of Materials
Teaching and professional files are topically arranged. Within folders, materials are in chronological order. The general correspondence files are arranged chronologically. Subject correspondence is arranged alphabetically by topical heading.

I have this book I've been working on for a while. This is an extremely small part of the book, but I'd love to see how people think of it. Don't worry about understanding the story, just tell me what you think of the actual writing. Please respond, and if it's good or bad, I'd love to know. :) Just keep in mind the only kind of English/writing/reading classes I ever took was in high school. So this is probably going to look terrible... well, here it is!
Running through a flight of stairs to report to the master, the sergeant's dark blue uniform waves violently from the wild air rushing through the broken windows. He finally reaches the roof when he bursts out, startling the beautiful but muscular brunet female guarding the door.
"Sir, we've received news that we have defeated Poseidon!"
Yorkshirre, the man the sergeant ran to with much haste, smells the damp, acidic wind flowing in the southern direction with pleasure.
"Excellent Terry. I will lead our last and final attack. Prepare our men for the final battle to mark all of man kind!"
Terry exams his leader with distaste. From Yorkshirre's black combat boots and blood red jeans with a skull belt to his ridiculously ugly yellow shirt to his long, blue, wavy hair and an even brighter blue goatee that's beaded with orange beads. The only thing frightening to Yorkshirre is his all white eyes. No pupils, no iris, just all white.
"But sir, our men are too warn out. We haven't slept in over four days."
Yorkshirre still staring out in the open, replies, "Do NOT question me, sergeant. You question me again and I will kill you."
Terry's face turns pale, then quickly to red. Anger flushes to his head. He's tired of this so called "Master" ordering him around. He has fought along side with his men. Witnessed horrible deaths of innocent lives while Yorkshirre sits in his mansion playing chest. He finally makes his stand.
"You have done nothing to help our cause. We're losing over half of the human race just because YOU said that the Gods wanted to kill us. I'm not going to allo- akhh," the sergeant can't finish his sentence. He's frozen in his place.
"I'm deeply saddened that I had to hear this sergeant. You were my favorite pawn to toy with. I warned you not to question me and now I have to kill you. I always keep my word. After all, I don't lie."
Yorkshirre takes a quick glance around the roof of the tower he stands on. Very limited room for a twenty-three story tower. The Grey cement roof is fading into a rusty brown color covered in ash from battles of the night before. All other buildings have been destroyed. There were thousands of dead soldiers on the ground, rotting away.
"How do you feel about fire, Terry?" Yorkshirre asks this as if he really cared. The sergeant's face turns pale with fear.
Yorkshirre looks at the female soldier guarding the only door on the roof. The moment her fragile hazel eyes notices him staring at her, she stiffens up. A bead of sweat rolls down her beautiful but obviously terrified face.
Cute, she's a nervous wreck. As she should be. Yorkshirre thinks to himself.
Yorkshirre then waves his hand and the sergeant's body is covered from head to toe in fire. The sergeant can't move. He can't even scream in pain.
Yorkshirre knows this. He knows how bad it hurts and how badly the man wants to scream in pain. He relishes it all. Right before the burning of the flesh becomes fatal, Yorkshirre waves his hand to remove the fire and unfreezes the sergeant.
The moment the sergeant collapses on the ground, he begins to scream.
Yorkshirre grins and looks at the female guard. He points at her and demands, "You! What's your name girl?"
She nearly faints in fear but manages to reply, "N-n-name's Julie Kimble s-sir!"
Yorkshirre laughs. His evil, low pitched laugh.
"It's Sergeant Kimble now. And your first task, as sergeant, is to dispose of this disgrace."
He points at the burnt fleshed ex sergeant still screaming in pain.
"Oh will you shut up!"
Yorkshirre points his finger to the mans throat, and even though he was still screaming, no sound came out.
"Ahh. That's much better. Now, be a dear and chuck this sorry excuse of a human being off this building."
Sergeant Kimble replies, "Y-yes sir. Right away."
She walks over and picks his burnt body up. She carries him over to the edge of the roof. With hesitation, she drops him. She can see the panic look on the poor mans face as he drops to his death. After the twenty-three story fall, he finally hit the ground with a bone crushing thug. She turns away, trying her best to contain the vomit from rising in her throat.
"Good. You'll make an excellent replacement. Now come. We have Gods to kill."
Kimble wonders how on Earth is she suppose to live life now. Yorkshirre wonders what new wonderful ways could he kill Kimble when she finally messes up.

Kelly gets photoshopped
And the winner of Photoshop award is Self magazine, which apparently is exclusively interested in making women self-loathing. The mag went nutso with Photoshop on Kelly Clarkson's picture, cutting her down to a Starlet Size 0, when the singer has been photographed this week at a very normal, non-malnourished size. It caused quite an uproar, but let's be real: Has a month gone by in which there isn't at least one outrageously Photoshopped magazine cover of a woman? Maybe we shouldn't be targeting Self as much as those trigger-happy Photoshoppers out there -- or the general objectification and unrealistic beauty expectations of women, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Ni-Co alloys with varying cobalt content were electrodeposited employing sulphamate electrolyte. The changes in microstructure and corrosion behaviour of electrodeposited nickel with respect to cobalt addition were studied. Scanning electron microscope, optical microscope and energy dispersive X ray analysis were used to characterize the alloy coatings. The alloy co-deposition was observed to be anomalous type. The cross-section microhardness measurement indicated that the hardness reached the maxima for a cobalt content of 50wt.% and then dropped with the increase in cobalt content. A correlation between microhardness and microstructure has been attempted. The optical micrographs indicated a change in microstructure from mixed columnar - fibrous to lamellar and finally to fibrous with increase in cobalt content. The X ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated the crystal structure to be cubic for cobalt content in the range of 0 to 50wt. %. A transition to hexagonal structure was observed for a cobalt content of 70wt.% and beyond. A change in preferred orientation was also observed with respect to cobalt addition. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance studies were used to study the corrosion behaviour of Ni-Co alloys. The physical behaviour was quantified with equivalent circuit. These studies indicated that the Ni-20%Co alloy exhibited better corrosion resistance in comparison to other Ni-Co alloys, plain nickel and plain cobalt coatings irrespective of the substrate (mild steel, brass) employed for deposition.

Mow high for weed and grub control
Mow at the highest setting on your lawnmower to promote deep roots, avoid grub damage and crowd out weeds.
Michigan has a tradition of mowing lawns short. Perhaps it is because many people want their lawn to look like a golf course fairway. Unfortunately, this is not practical for the average homeowner because golf course fairways are mowed three times per week with a frequently-sharpened reel mower, and irrigated daily during the summer. Trying to mow your lawn at a height less than 3 inches is actually stressful to your lawn and may result in the need to apply more insecticide and herbicide.
Raising the mowing height makes a more dense turf that
out-competes weeds. Photo credit: Rebecca Finneran, MSUE
What height do you mow at?
It's easy to determine the true cutting height of your mower. Pull your mower onto your driveway or sidewalk and measure the distance from the cement surface to the bottom of the blade-protection covering that goes all the way around the path of the blades. Most lawn mowers have an adjustment that allows the mowing height to be set between 2 and 4 inches.
What mowing height is best for my lawn?
The highest setting on your mower! The top setting for most mowers gives a cutting height between 3.25 and 4 inches. This is best for your lawn, but at a setting of 4 inches you may sometimes see some "laying-over" of turf blades that some people find undesirable. For this reason, some people prefer to mow at 3 or 3.5 inches. For the healthiest and most sustainable approach, Michigan State University Extension says 3.5 to 4 inches is most desirable.
Lawns mowed at 3.5 or 4 inches out-compete weeds, tolerate
grubs and look just as good as lawns mowed at 2.5 inches.
Why is mowing high good for my lawn?
Mowing high provides five valuable services:
- It makes scalping (turf damage from mowing too short) much less likely to happen.
- It allows you to clip about 30 percent of the leaf blade each time you mow (the optimum proportion).
- It promotes establishment of a larger root system, which is more drought tolerant.
- It provides broadleaf weed and crabgrass control by shading the soil surface.
- It establishes a grub-tolerant lawn because of the larger root mass.
The weed and grub control provided by mowing high means you can use less pesticide on your lawn. In fact, if you combine mowing high with modest applications of fertilizer (1 to 4 lbs N per year, depending on how green you want your lawn), and watering during dry periods, you may not need to use any pesticides – herbicide for weeds or insecticide for grubs – on your lawn. If you have not been mowing high and watering during dry periods, you may need to do this for at least one year to establish a healthy lawn before you stop using pesticides.
Starting from the "ground up," MSU Extension's horticulture educators are embarking on a new campaign to help folks become "smart gardeners." Launching this effort, MSU Extension horticulture educators will be presenting smart gardening in a variety of ways at two public shows in Michigan. The Novi Cottage and Lakefront Living Show on Feb. 21-24, and the West Michigan Home and Garden Show on Feb. 28-March 3 will host a variety of free seminars, informational booths and be the site to "ask the experts" from MSU Extension about your gardening questions.
For more information on a wide variety of smart gardening articles, or to find out about smart gardening classes and events, visit www.migarden.msu.edu.
Dr. Smitley's work is funded in part by MSU's AgBioResearch.

Synopsis for "Reunion"Edit
X-Mansion: Storm and Cyclops are playing handball with their powers, and exhausted, finally call the game with it being tied - neither able to gain an advantage over the other.
Just outside the solar system: A Shi'ar ship piloted by Corsair heads rapidly earthward, passing Voyager 2[1] during its long trip between Saturn and Uranus. Corsair is surprised by the sudden appearance of a Shi'ar warship.
Magneto's Caribbean Base: The X-Men are appropriating the island base for their own use. Presently, Colossus is unloading crates of equipment and supplies. Carol Danvers is up above doing some soul searching[2] when Wolverine comes up to her. Wolverine tries to comfort her, but Kitty interrupts.
Above Earth: Corsair speeds towards earth, only to be fired upon by Shi'ar ships that have arrived before him! He flies into the gauntlet...
X-Mansion: Ororo and Scott are having lunch and reading the mail. Ororo's leadership of the team comes up, and she offers it to Scott if he wants it, but he turns it down. Suddenly Corsair's ship streaks overhead and crashes into the pond on Xavier's estate! Ororo and Scott dive in and rescue Corsair from the wreckage, and just as they pull him out the starship explodes!
Corsair dreams. He dreams of the doomed flight during which he and his wife were taken after having pushed Scott and Alex out of the plane with the only parachute.[3] He dreams of his time with the Starjammers. And finally, he dreams of what prompted him to come to earth against such danger. He comes to - to be questioned by Cyclops about the locket he wears, a locket with Alex and Cyclops photos in it! Corsair reveals he is Cyclops father, which Storm confirms.[4] Suddenly a Sidrian Hunter smashes through the window!
Cyclops, Storm, and Corsair battle their way out of the room and onto the lawn. However, the X-Men realize they need the rest of the team, so Cyclops goes to get the Blackbird ready and takes Corsair with him. Corsair objects to leaving Storm behind to fight a rear-guard action, so Cyke socks him. He gets the Blackbird started as Storm creates a monsoon, giving her time to flee down the passageway to the plane just before take-off. The X-Men look down to see Sidri swarming over a destroyed mansion, and then suddenly they merge into a large aircraft and pursue!
The Sidri ship pursues them until it forces a combat over New York City! The blackbird has special glass that allows him to use his eye-beams through it, but it seems to have little effect on the Sidri ship. Storm leaves the Blackbird to apply her elemental talents to the Sidri ship as well. After an aerial dogfight, Storm and Cyclops overwhelm the Sidri's energy matrix and it breaks into its individual bodies, falling down amidst oil reserve tanks. Corsair tells cyclops to detonate the tanks and kill them while its vulnerable, but he refuses, so Corsair uses the open hatch that Storm used to return to the plane to blast a tank with his laser-pistol, igniting the tanks and incinerating the Sidri. The X-Men are appalled, but Corsair says it was necessary - he is trying to save the world. From what? The Shi'ar, their empress captured, have followed the trail of the kidnappers to earth, and they'll do anything to retrieve her, including leaving earth a burnt-out ruin!
- This issue is reprinted in many other comics and books, see references for more info.[5]
- Letterer error: During the dogfight, the letterer wrote "sequential" instead of "inconsequential" in one of the scene-explanatory text boxes and calls the Sidri the "Sindri" in the same panel. The Sidri are then called the "Sindri" throughout the rest of the issue.

- ↑ Editor's Note:This is one of those things which screws up Marvel's sliding time-scale, because it lets us peg down the possible dates pretty easily. Voyager 2 will not reach Uranus until January 1986, and was near Saturn in August 1981, definitively placing the story somewhere during 1982-1985. Further, Corsair left earth "20 years ago", which could be as early as 1962. This demonstrates a little advancing of the timescale (Cyclops was approximately 8 when his father left him, vs a presumed 17 in UXM 1), meaning Marvel time has compressed a mere ~10 years at that point. (Not especially surprising for X-Men considering there weren't any new stories published from approximately 1970-1975!) Note that this timescale is also compatible with the date on Jean Grey's tombstone from X-Men #138. And in the case of Voyager 2, it took advantage of a once in a 176 year event, so there is no similar probe by which to peg a more recent date (and mission name) to the probe passed by the Starjammer.

Current Issue
By Edward Smith
A week of intense public policy discussion at NCSL's Legislative Summit was topped off with a serving of pure politics Friday afternoon when political journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann offered their take on the national political scene.
The duo wrote "Game Change" and "Double Down: Game Change 2012," best-sellers that chronicled the election and re-election of Barack Obama and all the juicy backroom politics that a couple of political insiders could scoop up.
Handicapping the midterm elections, which they noted usually favor Republicans, is more difficult because of a few trends.
Halperin said the chaotic state of international affairs, an improving economy and a somewhat more favorable view of Obamacare has dulled the edge Republicans were enjoying at the beginning of the year.
"In the Senate races, Republicans are doing surprisingly poorly," he said. "They should be doing better."
Heilemann added that "there is so much antipathy against politicians in general that it really isn't shaping up as a year in which there is a lot of energy," suggesting that many voters may simply stay home.
Three Senate seats at least will shift to the GOP, Halperin predicted, but that would still leave the Senate in Democratic hands. The changing economic and political landscape has made any definitive call on who will end up in control very difficult.
Looking further down the road to the 2016 presidential election, both men thought the GOP faced a serious challenge for two key reasons. One is the lack of a clear frontrunner, a situation Republicans have not found themselves in for decades. The second is a demographic challenge the GOP seems unable to confront, they said.
"You can't overstate the importance of the immigration issue," Heilemann said. "Republicans had a chance to capitalize on that issue and they messed it up. That issue bedevils the Republican Party in a profound way."
Edward Smith is NCSL's director of the digital communications.

Greenwood, Seattle
Greenwood is a neighborhood in north central Seattle, Washington, USA. The intersection of Greenwood Avenue North and North 85th Street is the commercial center. Greenwood is known for its numerous bars, restaurants, coffee houses and specialty stores.
Since 1993 the neighborhood has hosted the "Greenwood Classic Car Show" on the last Saturday in June. Another event is the "Greenwood Seafair Parade", held on the last Wednesday in July. Both events draw tens of thousands of visitors to the neighborhood annually.
The generally accepted[citation needed] boundaries are Aurora Avenue N. (State Route 99) to the east, beyond which lies Licton Springs; N. 105th Street/Holman Road to the north, beyond which lie Broadview and Bitter Lake; 8th Avenue N.W. to the west, beyond which lies Crown Hill, and N. 80th Street to the south, beyond which lies Phinney Ridge. The division between Greenwood and Phinney Ridge is even more nebulous; the two neighborhoods plan events jointly and share a Chamber of Commerce.
Schools and public services[edit]
Greenwood is served by the North Cluster of the Seattle School District. No high school is located within the North Cluster but Nathan Hale, Roosevelt, Ballard, and Ingraham are all nearby. Schools in Greenwood include Greenwood Elementary and St. John Catholic School.
The neighborhood has had its own branch of the Seattle Public Library since 1928. The current Greenwood branch building was completed in 2005. Recreation areas maintained by the City of Seattle include Sandel Park and Greenwood Park. Greenwood has its own post office, which shares zip code 98103 with the larger Wallingford branch.
Geological issues[edit]
The heart of Greenwood lies atop a peat deposit, also known as a bog.[1] The area was molded into a bowl shape after the last glacial retreat, that was in turn, filled with runoff of dead plants that created the peat bog.[2]
When groundwater is removed, the peat compresses, causing building settlement that cannot be undone.[2] Commercial development has created an impervious surface and diverted rainwater to city sewers. On August 22, 2008 the city added peat bogs to the list of Environmentally Critical Areas.[3] This is intended to encourage building techniques that would stabilize the ground water and reduce building settlement in the neighborhood.
Greenwood has areas where streets and sidewalks have also been damaged due to irregular settlement. In 2012 the city of Seattle rebuilt North 85th Street and repaved much of Greenwood Avenue North. Many sidewalks along these streets were also repaired, though evidence of prior damage can still be seen.
Originally named Woodland, the neighborhood became Greenwood in 1907. Greenwood Avenue carried city streetcar and Seattle-Everett interurban passenger railroad traffic during the first half of the twentieth century.
The section of the neighborhood north of 85th Street was annexed to the city of Seattle in 1954. Many residents of the area voted for annexation, expecting that the city would build sidewalks. However, it is unconfirmed whether city officials ever made this promise. Many residential streets north of 85th Street are still without sidewalks.
2009 arson investigation[edit]
In 2009, the heart of Greenwood experienced several dramatic arson fires. On August 13, a house fire seriously injured a man and caused $170,000 damage.[4] The largest fire, on October 23, burned a building to the ground on N 85th Street in the neighborhood center. Four businesses were destroyed: the Green Bean Coffee house; Phở Tic Tac; Szechuan Bistro; and C.C. Teriyaki. This fire also caused significant damage to a neighboring historic building housing the Taproot Theatre Company.[5] A $10,000 reward was offered.[6]
Two fires occurred on November 5[7] and three more on November 9. The most severe of these caused $20,000 worth of damage and forced the closure of the Olive You restaurant.[8] On November 13, Seattle police arrested a 46-year-old homeless man who frequented the neighborhood. The suspect had been spotted at the scene of three previous fires.[9] He initially pled innocent to 12 charges, but changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.[10]

Admission Day or Statehood Day is a legal holiday in the state of Hawaii in the United States. It is celebrated annually on the third Friday in August to commemorate the anniversary of the 1959 admission of Hawaii into the Union. It was first celebrated in 1969.[1]
Statehood bills for Hawaii were introduced into the U.S. Congress as early as 1919 by Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, the non-voting delegate sent by the Territory of Hawaii to the U.S. Congress. Additional bills were introduced in 1935, 1947 and 1950. In 1959, the U.S. Congress approved the statehood bill, the Hawaii Admission Act. This was followed by a referendum in which Hawaiian residents voted 94% in support of statehood (the ballot question was: "Shall Hawaii immediately be admitted into the Union as a state?"), and on August 21, 1959 (the third Friday in August), President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation making Hawaii the 50th state.

Finding "The One" can be difficult, not to mention stressful. It requires patience, optimism and a real understanding of what you're looking for so that, in the end, both parties can be satisfied. Thankfully, the Internet has come along to streamline the selection process for everyone out there looking to settle down.
I am, of course, talking about looking for a job. Like looking for love, finding one's ideal job is hardly an easy task; even if someone knows exactly what they want, it isn't always readily available.
The folks behind Path.To realized this, and recently launched the Web's first online job search service that provides job seekers with unique compatibility scores that will help them discover the opportunity that is just right for them. In other words, this is like eHarmony for job seekers.
The new Path.To Score ranking system will analyze each applicants individual characteristics, as well as those of each business and unique position available, to ultimately match up the top talent with the top job.
Path.To will determine the Score primarily based on three different criteria:
- Social Graph Path.To will be able to utilize a user's interests from their Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as their contributions and reputations on online professional communities (including Behance, Dribbble, Forrst and Github) to get an idea of the applicant's interest level in professional topics.
- Personality The service will also identify and incorporate information about what a user finds important at their next position, which can be anything from dress code to office culture to benefits, which will allow them to better match applicants with their ideal work environments.
- Skills and Experience While Path.To will obviously highlight an applicant's work experience and education, the service will also focus on specific skills that each unique position requires, enabling users to show off their experience through skills-based endorsements.
Currently, Path.To is only available in the San Francisco Bay Area and works exclusively with the interactive design, software engineering and IT professions. This is in large part because of the rapid growth that many companies, both emerging and established, in the Silicon Valley are currently undergoing. The service plans to expand into other markets, most notably Chicago and New York, by the end of 2012.
At present, there are jobs being featured by over 100 different tech companies on Path.To. Who knows, maybe one of them is right for you!

However, we will do our best to recover as much as we can, but cannot guarantee anything. There will be no refund, for any reason, for a no-show on the day of the tour. A Refund Protection Plan is available at our office at a minimal cost. This insures you a full refund in case of a death or illness in the immediate family up to 24 hours before the tour departs. (It does require a doctors written note or copy of death notice.) On longer tours, we have a special insurance plan available if you are interested, and it will be sent to you with your confirmation. We encourage you to take advantage of these protection plans. The Refund Protection Plan does not apply to Day Trips, nor are there any refunds for Day Trips, with a few exceptions.
Gad-About Tours Inc. reserves the right to cancel any tour that has not reached a minimum number of reservations. We reserve the right to change tour prices and itinerary. Tours are prepared up to a year in advance and may be impacted by circumstances that arise which are beyond our control. We reserve the right to cancel or refuse service to anyone, in our sole discretion. We always avoid changes and cancellations if at all possible, as we realize the inconvenience to you, our valued customer.
All of our tours are by late-model, deluxe wide-body motorcoach. They are equipped with air-conditioning, reclining seats, public address system, VCR, and emergency restrooms. Our intent is for all overnight tours to be professionally escorted for your convenience. Upon occasion, in order to avoid canceling a trip with a low passenger count, our driver may serve both positions of driver and escort, and all are professionally trained to do so. Also, on air trips with low passenger counts, we may not be able to provide an escort from our company. However, we will provide airport transportation*, plus a guide from our connecting company will meet you upon arrival at your destination and be with you throughout the entire tour. (*If only a few are going on a given air tour, we will pay your airport parking fee in lieu of using the coach.)
Your lodging is included on all overnight tours. All hotels are AAA rated. We never use second-rate hotels, restaurants, or activities on any tour, to the best of our ability to make that determination. Payment of telephone calls, room service, and other incidentals at places of lodging are the responsibility of the customer.
One suitcase per person is included in the price of your tour. You are also permitted a carry-on, which is your responsibility. Additional luggage may be transported at the cost of $5.00 per bag, per day. It is wise to travel light. Luggage tags are provided and required for hotel identification, and are sent with the final letter with the phone numbers of your hotels.
All taxes and gratuities for included meals and activities are included, unless otherwise mentioned by the Escort. Driver and Escort gratuities are not included in the price of the tour, and are optional. However, the suggested gratuity as posted by the American Bus Assoc. for a job well done is $2.00-$2.50 per person/per day for the tour escort, and $2.00-$2.50 per person/per day for the driver. We request that you express this on an individual basis, and let the quality of service received be your guide.
On all overnight tours, we use a daily seat rotation. The first day of a trip, we allow you to choose your seat when you get on, and rotate from there. We feel this is fair to all involved. If the coach is not full, a less formal rotation may be used at escorts discretion.
We make regular stops for restrooms and for the convenience of smokers; however, we have a NO SMOKING policy aboard all coaches. This policy also applies to e-cigarettes.
Gad-About Tours, Inc. is bonded, insured, and registered with the ICC, number MC 198451. We act only as agents and are not responsible to any person for any loss of time or money due to a change or delay beyond our control. Nor are we responsible for non-performance by those we have contracted with. Any claims against Gad-About Tours Inc. must be made, in writing, within 30 days of the trip.

Biology and therapy of fibromyalgia: pain in fibromyalgia syndrome
Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, McKnight Brain Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32610, USA
Arthritis Research & Therapy 2006, 8:208 doi:10.1186/ar1950
See related letter by Martinez and Cassol, http://arthritis-research.com/content/10/6/408, and related response by Eisinger, http://arthritis-research.com/content/10/6/409
Published: 24 April 2006Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM) pain is frequent in the general population but its pathogenesis is only poorly understood. Many recent studies have emphasized the role of central nervous system pain processing abnormalities in FM, including central sensitization and inadequate pain inhibition. However, increasing evidence points towards peripheral tissues as relevant contributors of painful impulse input that might either initiate or maintain central sensitization, or both. It is well known that persistent or intense nociception can lead to neuroplastic changes in the spinal cord and brain, resulting in central sensitization and pain. This mechanism represents a hallmark of FM and many other chronic pain syndromes, including irritable bowel syndrome, temporomandibular disorder, migraine, and low back pain. Importantly, after central sensitization has been established only minimal nociceptive input is required for the maintenance of the chronic pain state. Additional factors, including pain related negative affect and poor sleep have been shown to significantly contribute to clinical FM pain. Better understanding of these mechanisms and their relationship to central sensitization and clinical pain will provide new approaches for the prevention and treatment of FM and other chronic pain syndromes.

Geshem Be'ito (Acceptance of Rain in Its Time) The following essay will be published in the forthcoming book of teachings "Good Noticing" published by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. The rhythms of the Jewish calendar may not coincide with your particular climate. At times, our traditional rituals may range from the impractical to the impossible. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, calling upon light in the darkness of Chanukah in Kislev/December always resonates, but singing about blossoming trees in Shevat/January may not make sense. How can we stay true to our tradition when the weather doesn't cooperate? And as mindfulness practitioners, how might we elevate the news of undesirable weather? Those of us who live in the Northeastern United States are usually blessed with bountiful precipitation year-round. Furthermore, our religion is no longer based on the careful balance between following God's laws and receiving in return enough rain for our crops to survive. The Reform movement even removed the second paragraph of the Shema from prayer books to make the bold statement: we are modern Jews—we do not believe that we can influence God to change the weather by keeping the commandments of our tradition. Recent evidence suggests that even […]

Roseanne Barr and What Can Happen When We Teach about Shmita
Dear Friends, The story of Hazon is often a story about stories. Next week, on Tuesday, April 1, at the Green Building in Brooklyn, we'll be telling the stories of four incredible inductees at our 3rd annual If Not Now Benefit, honoring the powerful stories of Rabbi David Ingber, Barbara Ribakove Gordon, the Margulies Family, and Margot Seigle. It's going to be a wonderfully fun and meaningful evening, and, if you are in the New York area, I hope you'll join us. But, for now, I want to share an unbelievable story that happened during our recent Purim Retreat at Isabella Freedman with Roseanne Barr. In the last decade of the 20th century, Roseanne Barr brought the issues and concerns of working class America to life through her groundbreaking sitcom "Roseanne." At our Purim retreat, it was Roseanne Barr once again bringing concepts to life, this time in such a powerful and profound way that it literally changed the lives of some of those in the room with her. One of Hazon's current points of focus regards creating a renaissance around the Jewish concept of shmita, the sabbatical year described in the Torah and other Jewish texts, which is scheduled […]
Roseanne Barr Invokes Jewish Values to Change Lives
Roseanne Barr invoked Jewish values to change lives at an innovative, enlightened, and provocative Purim retreat at Isabella Freedman this past weekend. In the last decade of the 20th century, Roseanne Barr brought the issues and concerns of working class America to life through her groundbreaking sitcom "Roseanne." This past weekend, it was Roseanne Barr once again bringing concepts to life, this time in such a powerful and profound way that it literally changed the lives of some of those in the room with her. Roseanne served as the leader for a gathering at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, Connecticut, for the Jewish holiday of Purim, one of many holidays celebrating a great story of redemption. The Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center is a campus of the organization Hazon, a Jewish non-profit with the mission of creating a healthier and more sustainable world. One of Hazon's current points of focus regards creating a renaissance around the Jewish concept of shmita, the sabbatical year described in the Torah and other Jewish texts, which is scheduled to begin on Rosh Hashanah of 2014. A rarely recognized tradition, particularly outside of Israel, the idea of shmita includes not only […]

Care to Share Gathers Over One Ton of Food
Originally posted in UJA Federation's news. Try to picture 3.3 million grains of rice. If that's too challenging, you could also visualize 200,000 grapes, 35,000 eggs, 4,000 pomegranates, 440 watermelons, or 220 pumpkins. Each of these quantities of food weighs a solid ton, which is the amount of fresh produce collected during UJA-Federation's first annual Care to Share fresh food drive in conjunction with Met Council, Hazon, and AmeriCorps.

Care to Share
UJA-Federation of New York — in collaboration with Met Council, AmeriCorps, and Hazon — invite you to participate in our first annual Care to Share citywide and volunteer fresh produce drive. Care to Share will take place from Monday, October 3 – Tuesday, October 18, 2011, encouraging volunteers to symbolically fulfill the Jewish custom of gleaning, a custom tied to the harvest season and the Sukkot period. Traditionally, farmers leave the four corners of their fields unharvested so the needy can glean from the fields with dignity. (more…)

Are we using ontologies the right way? What drawbacks/advantages are there? What dialogue specific information must be encoded in the ontology, if any? What language specific information must be encoded in the ontology, if any? What can we learn from other disciplines concerning ontology design and use? And what can they learn from us? Are there alternatives to ontologies? What kind of requirements are there for the representation language for ontologies? How can we use ontologies in open domains? |

Product Information
- Build Your Own Robosaur from Discovery Kids
- We recommend this product for ages 6 and up
- 2 AA batteries required TTPM trusts
What It Is
Kids can develop a basic understanding of beginning robotics by building the Robosaur. Follow the directions to assemble the robot, including placing speaker, LED eyes and sensors. Then, once assembled, the robot is activated by sound or touch. Clapping hands or touching the head will make the Robosaur walk, roar, move its spikes and tail and make its eyes light up.
Is It Fun?
For young kids interested in robotics, it's engaging to see the way the pieces fit together. It also lets the curious mind understand some of the components that are necessary for a robot to work. Once it's together, kids will get a kick out of watching it come to life.
Who It's For
The Robosaur is best for kids ages 6-8 who are intrigued by robotoics and building.
What To Be Aware Of
The directions are very clear, and one of the things kids learn (kind of in the background) is how to follow directions in the assembly process.
Some of the pieces around the head are fairly small, so an adult may need to help kids.
The set includes a magnetic screwdriver and small screws. Be sure to keep these parts away from younger children while assembling the Robosaur.
