In making use of the suggestions below, you may wish to follow various links to try them out. Clicking on a link will automatically launch another browser window, so you may return to this page simply by closing the browser window containing the Romantic Chronology page, or by toggling between windows.
- Take a tour of the Romantic Chronology, in order to learn more about how it works, and then encourage your students to take this tour at: http://www.muohio.edu/update/chrono/using.htm
- A menu of dates on the Chronology Home Page can be used to see every entry available in the database, chunk by chunk. But one can also customize chronologies based on topics, authors, kinds of events, etc. One can generate chronologies, print them out, and distribute them to students; or, one can ask students to go to the chronology and generate chronologies for themselves. Familiarize yourself with the various ways that one can search the Romantic Chronology in order to figure out how to customize chronologies and generate assignments:
- Check the list of topics used by editors of the chronology: go to the Romantic Chronology Home Page, and then click on "Topics Catalogue" under "Chronology" on the navigation bar at the left. Clicking on any one of these topics will generate a chronology of events related to them.
- Using a simple Search of the Chronology, one can search by date or by any words in the event description, including author, publication, or type of activity ("riot," for instance).
- A simple Search of the Link Archive, by Keyword, URL, author, or topic, will allow students to generate a list of resources available on the Internet.
- An Advanced Search of the Romantic Chronology allows one to generate chronologies based on: dates, event descriptions, notes and citations, persons or type of persons, works or type of works, years of composition, years of publication. You can ask students, for instance, to find out when an author composed a particular work, and then what was being published at the same time.
- The Advanced Search of the Link Archive will allow you to search by web creator and by description of web sites.
- After devising an assignment for students, try it out yourself following all the steps you have asked them to follow. The chronology may be missing certain events that you would like to have come up when either you or your students generate your own chronologies by doing various searches. If some events are missing, contact co-editor Laura Mandell; she can add the events very quickly, in time for you to generate the chronology you need to distribute or before your students begin their research projects.
- Sample Searches and Assignments:
- Go to the Chronology Home Page; click on the "Topics Catalogue," and then on "Abolition." Print this chronology out to distribute to students for a unit on the Abolition Movement in Britain.
- Ask your students to decide whether they think that the Romantic era was a relatively peaceful time or not by using a simple search, and putting into the "Event Description" box words that might denote turbulent times ("riot," "arrest," "protest," "revolution," "rebellion," etc.)
- When reading Barbauld's "Eighteen Hundred and Eleven" or Shelley's "England in 1819," or any poem or literary work at all, ask students to visit the chronology and do a simple search and entering the years that the poems describe.
- Ask students to look at the kind of essay being written during the period by going to the Advanced Search engine, clicking on the drop-down box under "Type of Work," clicking on "Essay," and then clicking the "Search" button. Although 200 entries come up, students can scroll through them looking at titles, just to get a sense of what kinds of issues are being discussed.
On a PC, you can toggle between windows by holding down the ALT key and hitting the Tab key to move through your open program windows. On a MAC, move the top window off to the side slightly, so that the two browser windows each have a visible piece; click on whichever window you wish to see in full. BACK TO TOP

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16812885 United States 05/31/2012 05:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What a TOTAL piece of shit this guy is. I guess the fact that this turd is too lazy to research, is the reason that he "knows nothing about it". And yet the turd INSISTS that it doesn't exist, even though (by his own admission) he's too lazy to research it. Gee... No WONDER MSNBC's ratings have plunged into the toilet. |

Generation of octave-spanning supercontinuum by Raman-assisted four-wave mixing in single-crystal diamond |
Optics Express, Vol. 22, Issue 4, pp. 4075-4082 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2198 KB)
An octave-spanning coherent supercontinuum is generated by non-collinear Raman-assisted four-wave mixing in single-crystal diamond using 7.7 fs laser pulses that have been chirped to about 420 fs in duration. The use of ultrabroad bandwidth pulses as input results in substantial overlap of the generated spectrum of the anti-Stokes sidebands, creating a phase-locked supercontinuum when all the sidebands are combined to overlap in time and space. The overall bandwidth of the generated supercontinuum is sufficient to support its compression to isolated few-to-single cycle attosecond transients. The significant spectral overlap of adjacent anti-Stokes sidebands allows the utilization of straight-forward spectral interferometry to test the relative phase coherence of the anti-Stokes outputs and is demonstrated here for two adjacent pairs of sidebands. The method can subsequently be employed to set the relative phase of the sidebands for pulse compression and for the synthesis of arbitrary field transients.

U2's Glastonbury 2010 headline slot in jeopardy?
Bono undergoes emergency surgery in Berlin
22 May 2010
The Irish group have already postponed a date at Salt Lake City in the USA but no other shows have been
affected as yet.
Speaking on the band's official site, manager Paul McGuiness said: "We
were due to start rehearsals on Tuesday [25 May] in Salt Lake City and get the show ready for the next leg and there were
going to be some changes and some new material. It's unfortunate that we're inconveniencing fans. We will make
plans to reinstate these dates as soon as possible."
He also added: "We hope to get things
resolved as soon as possible. Keep watching
U2.com and you'll get the information as soon as we can get it out to you."
Keep checking
back for further information on the story.
Speculation around possible replacements for U2 if they pull out lean towards Radiohead or Coldplay as both are
known favourites of the Eavis family.
In other news, Biffy Clyro look likely to play the festival
after they appeared in Q Magazine's '50 Acts You Must See At Glastonbury Festival 2010'
article in the latest edition of the monthly music zine.
The group however aren't officially confirmed, leading
to rumours that they will to be revealed as a secret guest at the event or they will perform an unannounced slot. The magazine
is an official media partner for the festival.
Glastonbury Festival 2010 is completely sold out.

If Watson picks Moore over Tiger and Moore doesn't play well he will get absolutely murdered. Especially if they don't win the cup. Thats the hard part for Tom. He has to have some thoughts on the aftermath if it goes bad and he leaves Tiger at home. Id probably pick him if he improves at all. They all seemed to have a good time at the president's cup and i like having the experience of Tiger and Phil. How many times has Sergio or Ian killed it in the Ryder cup without playing well up to that event.

Office hours are typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. We are open one Saturday morning per month for laryngeal Botox injections.
To request an appointment, you may call 630-724-1100. (After hours you may leave a voicemail request by following the phone menu.)
Or you may email our staff:
- Tiffany Schroeder: email@example.com
- Susan Leibforth: email@example.com
Our cancellation policy
Bastian Voice Institute requests the courtesy of a call 48 business hours prior to cancellation of your appointment for physician visits. Speech pathology has a 24 business hour cancellation policy to avoid a $50 late cancellation fee.
A word to our out-of-town patients and visitors
Bastian Voice Institute cares for individuals not only from the Chicagoland region but also from across the nation and other countries. (For your convenience, here are links to hotels in the area of Bastian Voice Institute, as well as travel directions.) We will do our best to facilitate visits by patients from out of town, in order to accomplish the maximum possible in a short period of time. Please direct inquiries to:
- Susan Leibforth, Practice Manager: firstname.lastname@example.com, (630) 724-1100
An important note about scheduling: Sometimes individuals consulting at BVI are only seeking a second opinion. Others, however, come to us entertaining surgery, based on opinions from elsewhere. This happens most frequently in the case of those who need vocal fold microsurgery. For the convenience of such patients, we often tentatively schedule surgery for the day following the consultation.
In this way, if surgery is clearly indicated and mutually agreed upon by physician and patient, both consultation and surgery can be accomplished in the context of a single visit to Downers Grove. If surgery is not needed or desired, it is a simple matter to cancel the scheduled surgery.
Our staff would be happy to explain this arrangement to you more fully by phone.
Surgical scheduling
Both in-patient and out-patient surgeries are scheduled by our clinical personnel or practice manager. This can be done in one of several ways:
- Onsite: Make an appointment at the conclusion of a physician consultation, for a date typically a few weeks later.
- By telephone: Call (630) 724-1100 during regular clinic hours to request your preferred date for surgery (and consultation if you have not yet seen a physician).
- By voice-mail: If the clinical staff is temporarily unavailable during regular business hours, or if you call after normal hours, you can access the triage mailbox and your call will be returned within 24 hours.
Because of privacy concerns, we cannot currently accept requests via e-mail.
BVI registration forms
If you prefer to fill our forms out in advance of your appointment, please download and print one or more of the following forms:
- New Patient Packet (Microsoft Word .docx file)
- New Patient Questionnaire (Note: You can fill out and save this PDF using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader XI. If you're on a Mac, DON'T use Preview.)
- New Cough Patient Questionnaire (Note: You can fill out and save this PDF using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader XI. If you're on a Mac, DON'T use Preview.)
Also, for our patients who are on a capsaicin trial for a diagnosis of sensory neuropathic cough, you can review these instructions:

Re: [IxDA] Is it really necessary to master TYPE to be an IxD?
Another way to frame this is to look at the body of knowledge that is available. Typography has easily 150 years of trial, error, experimentation, learning, growth, adaptation to new technologies, etc. behind it. Very few of the other areas we draw on have such a long history. In terms of looking at a body of knowledge from which one can draw useful principles, patterns, and examples you can find quite a lot in typography that speaks to general areas of UX concern such as - what is persuasive? What aids visibility? What sort of feel are you conveying? How do you help people gain trust in what you're presenting? How do you optimize for scanning/searching? What works well for in-depth reading?
As David Malouf pointed out you don't have to become a well-known innovator in the field, but I feel it would be a mistake to ignore the opportunities and lessons available here.
(I will admit that I'm heavily influenced by Muriel Cooper who advocated very strongly for her students to study typography; I found her arguments and examples quite persuasive.)

Today marks the 21st anniversary of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This year's theme "Plant a Seed, Grow a Future" resonates with me on multiple levels. In a statement by the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation they assert that "… bringing girls and boys together, we all contribute to creating a more equitable world — at home, at school, and in the workplace." It makes me proud to know that I contribute to making that world a reality every time I bring my son to work with me.
My mom has been a college professor most of my life. She was also a single parent when I was in elementary school and I watched her balance the demands of teaching and research while being an engaged parent. There were days when she would leave from faculty meetings to come volunteer in my classroom or chaperone a field trip. I remember having to sit in on her evening courses because a sitter had backed out at the last minute. There were no laptops or iPads to keep me busy. I brought a book to read but usually just watched my mom work.
As I reflect on those moments I realize that my mom did indeed plant seeds on how I would balance the priorities of my career with raising my son. Like my mother, I also work in higher education and have always been intentional in letting my colleagues and students know that my family is my priority. This means that I don't feel like I have to choose between the two. To be the best professional I can be I have to make sure my family is taken care of. And sometimes that means bringing my son to work.
It's always interesting to me that when we have these conversations about balancing work and family that women and mothers are always at the center of the conversation. Do men and fathers think about this? I'm sure they do. My hope is that my son will. I hope that by bringing my son to work I am planting a seed within him to think differently about how he might manage the demands of his career with the needs of his family. I hope he will be in a respectful partnership with his spouse to make that a reality. As the child of a single parent he only sees me negotiate those demands. I hope this will one day make him more sensitive to his spouse if tough decisions have to be made.
The decision to bring my son with me to work is also important for the students I work with. As I help students navigate their academic and professional goals, I get to model for them that personal priorities are equally important. Of course I don't assume that everyone wants to be a parent. But they may have coworkers who are and need to understand how that impacts how they show up at work. Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work day is important because we have the ability to change the conversation about work and family. I hope you will join me and bring your child to work.

Gabriel Gomez on Government Reform | |
Pressed on his refusal to join Markey in taking the so-called "People's Pledge" to bar outside advertising from the race, Gomez said, "I've been clear from day one, and that is I will take one pledge and it's the pledge I took as a naval officer. That's to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It's the same pledge my parents took when they became citizens, and it's the pledge I made to the people of Massachusetts. "Let's be honest about it," he added, "politicians make pledges because nobody trusts them."

Wonderful trip to a wonderful city. Pity the long travelling time only allowed us a 4-hour taster of what the city has to offer but it whet our appetites for a return trip. Nevertheless our guides were superb and really helped make it a wonderful experience. Highly recommended day trip.
A very long day, but well worth it. Prague is such a beautiful city.
If you have limited time and full day to spare to do this you should! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The trip was very well organized and the guides were absolutely good.
Worth it. Do it. We loved it.
Everything went according to plan, even the weather was first class! The hotel pickup driver was a little early but we were ready at the time given and no real problem.
Awesome! It was an excellent experience. The bus, the driver and our guides were all very nice and helpful. The scenary is beautiful.The food is very good. There s plenty of sight seeing and shopping opportunities. They had plenty of breaks for food and restroom usage. Highly recommend it.
Very informative tour guides. We really enjoyed the trip to Prague and will return for a longer stay. The whole trip was well organised and executed.
Excellent - long day but well worth it - very good guide
Lovely tour,very well oganized and good guides
A long day's outing but we stopped frequently en route for food and refresment breaks. The city of Prague was wonderful to see and the guide was very infomative. Our departure was delayed by 40 minutes due to one of the participants not understanding the departure time explained in English. Perhaps the operator should give clearer written notices so that everyone understands these important issues
The trip with our Vienna guide as far as Prague was wonderful. She was extremely friendly and helpful. She answered many questions and gave us lots of information. The guide in Prague was a little disappointing. When asked a question he just repeated the previous sentence. his English was limited and in fact some of the information he gave us was incorrect. Ov erall though the tour was well organised and a great experience.
Prague is possibly the most beautiful city I've ever seen - Paris included. The guide was knowledgeable and local once we got to Prague. I wish we had planned to spend the night and do two days here. A day well spent - a "must see" city.
Bonnie U
I had a great trip. The tour group was very helpful and informative.
Perfect in every way. Just enough time for the trip. Pick up from hotel timely. Tour guide Dietmark was so knowledgeable, I felt like I had a crash course in the history of Prague. This is a must do if you have limited time to visit Prague.

Jambo John wants run of games
Hearts striker John Sutton is eager to be given a regular opportunity to prove his worth having netted in the 2-2 SPL draw with Ross County.
Sutton has struggled to find the form he demonstrated at Motherwell since moving to Tynecastle in summer 2011, but came off the bench to net a stoppage-time equaliser on Saturday.
"I've never felt I've played badly - I just haven't really played," said Sutton, who had a spell on loan at Central Coast Mariners in Australia's A-League last season. "It's been different this year. I haven't started so many games recently, but certainly I've been getting on and getting plenty of minutes as a substitute.
"I don't feel I've regressed as a player. It's just a case of getting a run of games and hopefully over the course of the season I can look back and feel I've done well."
Hearts boss John McGlynn suggested Sutton could start in Wednesday's Scottish Communities League Cup quarter-final at Dundee United.
Sutton could come across a familiar opponent in Rudi Skacel, who left Hearts for a second time after the 5-1 Scottish Cup win in May and trained with the capital club before moving to Tannadice.
The prospect of a third spell at Tynecastle was ended when Hearts were placed under transfer embargo for failing to pay players' wages on schedule.
Sutton added: "We'll just have to keep it off his left foot anywhere within 30 yards. He was training with us and looked really fit and really sharp.
"I don't know how far he would've progressed with us because we got the transfer embargo.
"We'll have to be wary, but Dundee United are a good team without Rudi Skacel so they're going to be even more dangerous with him.
"I think they've been a little bit like ourselves this year - tipped to be challenging at the top end and it hasn't quite worked out, which makes the game on Wednesday even bigger for both of us."
On a day when Hearts asked supporters to invest in a share issue scheme while also revealing a tax dispute, the hosts dominated.
Arvydas Novikovas netted the opener and Hearts laid siege on the County goal, where Michael Fraser was in inspired form.
A disputed Richard Brittain penalty and a 77th-minute strike from Stuart Kettlewell appeared set to grant County all three points before Sutton's intervention.
County are ninth after the first round of fixtures and boss Derek Adams is pleased despite late dropped points at Tynecastle and against Celtic.
He said: "I couldn't be happier with the first 11 games. I'm delighted, but we probably should have more points than we have."
The Staggies have conceded 14 goals in five games after starting with a miserly defence.
"You're always going to concede goals," Adams said. "We have to be a wee bit adventurous at times."

Yankees manager Joe Girardi has been ejected from Game 2 of the AL championship series after arguing what appeared to be a missed call by second base umpire Jeff Nelson.
New York was trailing 1-0 with two outs in the eighth inning when Austin Jackson singled with Omar Infante on first. Right fielder Nick Swisher threw to second, where Infante had run past the base, and Robinson Cano appeared to tag him on the chest sliding back.
After Boone Logan relieved, pinch-hitter Avisail Garcia blooped a single to right for a 2-0 lead and Girardi returned to the mound to bring in Joba Chamberlain. Girardi got into a heated discussion and was tossed on his 48th birthday.
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera followed with another single for a 3-0 lead.

Sujata, M and Madan, M and Bhaumik, SK (2008) Failure investigation of multiplicator of an aeroengine. Project Report. National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, India.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Fractographic study confirmed that the driving gear of the multiplicator had failed by fatigue. There was multiple fatigue crack initiation and in all the cases, the fatigue crack had initiated at the tooth root. In two cases, the teeth got fractured and lost by tooth bending fatigue. In another case, after initiation, the fatigue crack had propagated into the hub of the gear and continued propagation further along the hub fillet. After propagation to a critical length, this fatigue crack had resulted in fracturing of a segment of the gear. Following this fracture, the impact with the input gear of the gear cluster had resulted in second fracture and chewing off of remaining teeth in the driving gear. Subsequently, the gear assembly had seized leading to torsional overload failure of the quill shaft transmitting power from the AGB to the multiplicator. The fatigue failure in the driving gear appears to be stress related. Evidences suggest that probably, the load on the gear assembly was more than the usual. The power transmission system down the multiplicator needs to be examined as a whole for establishing the cause(s) for excessive load on the gear assembly.

Over the last couple of years, people have been quite wary of their discretionary spending in view of the uncertain economic environment. This has manifested itself quite clearly through a steady decline in the card lending portfolio for the country's largest banks. Increased regulatory oversight on the industry and broad changes to their own business model in a quest for better profitability have also contributed to shrinking card loan balances at these banking giants.
But there can also be no denying the fact that the country's biggest credit card lenders have also been pushing hard to gain a larger share of the shrinking market by doling out generous offers and freebies in a bid to attract more customers. The primary reason for these efforts is that credit card loans are arguably the most lucrative of all loans in their portfolio because of the high interest rates that they demand. Net interest margins on credit cards are normally two to three times than those for other retail loans like auto or student loans. And while the unsecured nature of credit card loans makes them inherently risky, the risk is largely contained for the overall business as the lender cannot lose more than the credit card limit from a particular customer.
In this article, we highlight the credit card loans outstanding for the largest U.S. commercial banks – JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) and Capital One (NYSE:COF).
See the full Trefis analysis for Capital One | JPMorgan | Wells Fargo | U.S. Bancorp | Bank of America| Citigroup
The table below summarizes the average volume of credit card loans that each of the banks had outstanding over the last ten quarters. The data has been compiled using figures reported by individual banks as a part of their quarterly announcements.
(in $ mil) | Q2'11 | Q3'11 | Q4'11 | Q1'12 | Q2'12 | Q3'12 | Q4'12 | Q1'13 | Q2'13 | Q3'13 |
Citigroup | 154,006 | 153,323 | 156,041 | 148,867 | 146,241 | 147,206 | 150,410 | 143,050 | 140,171 | 143,767 |
JPMorgan Chase | 125,038 | 126,536 | 128,619 | 127,616 | 125,195 | 124,339 | 124,729 | 123,564 | 122,855 | 123,912 |
Bank of America | 133,423 | 129,105 | 118,222 | 112,485 | 108,659 | 106,621 | 105,930 | 102,739 | 100,335 | 100,638 |
Capital One | 62,691 | 62,371 | 62,764 | 62,432 | 79,662 | 88,656 | 89,090 | 82,952 | 77,946 | 77,729 |
Wells Fargo | 20,954 | 21,452 | 21,933 | 22,129 | 22,065 | 23,040 | 23,839 | 24,097 | 24,023 | 24,989 |
U.S. Bancorp | 15,884 | 16,057 | 16,271 | 16,778 | 16,696 | 16,551 | 16,588 | 16,528 | 16,416 | 16,931 |
The largely declining trend in the size of credit card loan portfolio for the country's largest banks becomes evident from the table at the first glance. The trend mirrors the sentiments of customers at large, who have been clearing any debt overhang and saving up in view of the uncertainty in the U.S. economy. Once economic outlook appears more stable, credit card loan volumes should begin to rise once again.
That said, Citigroup remains at the top in the list with its geographical diversification helping it add customers in more countries than any of its competitors. It is also because of this diversification that Citigroup's credit card portfolio size fluctuates considerably, as changes in foreign exchange rates affect the dollar value of the loans handed out in different countries.
While JPMorgan Chase has the second largest global portfolio of credit card loans among the banks mentioned here, the banking giant is the leader in the U.S. market as it has more focused operations in the country as compared to Citigroup. Bank of America comes in third, having to sell-off a chunk of its card portfolio in late 2011 as a part of its long-term reorganization plan (see Bank of America Sharpens Focus on US Cards, Raises Cash Reserves with Sale).
As for the mortgage-focused Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp, the credit card business has not been very high on their priority list in the past, because of which the value of their outstanding credit card loans is a fraction of the others. But both these banks are looking to change this over the coming years, and have signed agreements with American Express (NYSE:AXP) to begin issuing AmEx-branded cards next year (see U.S. Bancorp's Partnership With AmEx Should Unlock Value For Both Companies). Wells Fargo's top management has also detailed more aggressive growth plans for the bank's credit card arm over recent months.
Finally, coming to the credit card-lender-turned-bank Capital One, it is clear that the cards business remains an area of focus for the bank with the bank's acquisition of HSBC's card business last year boosting card loans held by it from around $60 billion in early 2012 to almost $90 billion (see Capital One Rejigs Recently Acquired HSBC Card Unit). The decline over the first half of the year is because of Capital One's decision to do away with several co-branded and private label card portfolios (see Citi Snaps Up Capital One's Best Buy Credit Card Portfolio), and also because the bank has consciously decided to run-off some card loans which are not relevant to its long term growth plan.

The debate on growth has revolved around arguments for and against increased regulation and guidelines on new development. Each side of the debate maintains that its approach to handling inevitable growth in the city is the best way to create a positive economic climate.
Often cited as a proponent for increased regulation, the Boone County Smart Growth Coalition has lobbied for conserving open space, reducing "leapfrog development" and shifting the cost of creating and maintaining roads from taxpayers to developers who choose properties away from established infrastructure, according to its Web site.
Frequently given as an example of the antithesis of the Smart Growth Coalition, the Central Missouri Development Council lobbies for "effecting legislative and regulatory change for balanced growth policies" and "improving the development climate" of Columbia, according to its Web site.
Sixth Ward candidate Barbara Hoppe is clear on how she stands. She founded the Boone County Smart Growth Coalition.
"Smart growth is business interest," Hoppe said. "… I think there are special interests in Columbia that are really seeking to roll back any controls on development whatsoever. … They are the willy-nilly, we-want-to-do-anything-we-want-to-do people."
Hoppe said there are members of the development community who share the values of the Smart Growth Coalition, and she believes there is a misconception that the coalition is nothing but anti-development. She said the town of Dubuque, Iowa, is an example of a city that has embraced developing with Smart Growth principles and was able to attract IBM's attention for its new data center.
Hoppe's opponent, Rod Robison, said he likes the ideas behind smart growth, but he has qualms about the organization that bears the label.
"They certainly don't appear to favor development," Robison said. "That's kind of an impression from what I've heard of the group."
Robison said he would listen to his constituents' views on developments and commit time to looking at each proposal.
"I'm more of a hands-on, I-kind-of-have-to-see-it kind of guy," Robison said.
Robison believes that people are ultimately going to build where they want and that, while infill development is a good idea, it's really up to developers to decide.
Second Ward candidate Jason Thornhill said he is not opposed to smart growth. He also said the council cannot "rubber-stamp any project presented to them" but "it's pretty dangerous to allow a dozen people to shut down a largely viable project."
Thornhill said he thought the city has over-expanded in the past and wants to push infill, though he understands that's harder to accomplish than developing open land.
Developers should be motivated to be good neighbors instead of just working for money's sake, and they should strive to meet more than just minimum requirements, Thornhill said. He added that he would expect developers to "have gone above and beyond that minimum" and to "have worked with neighbors and folks in the surrounding area."
His opponent, Allan Sharrock, said he doesn't think "it's the role of the councilman to dictate what will be put up and where." Instead, Sharrock said, it should be up to planning and zoning and market forces to make those decisions.
"I'm an avid hunter. I love the outdoors," Sharrock said. "(But) if somebody wants to build a house — I own a house — who am I to deny them the American dream?"
Sharrock also said that the Planning and Zoning Commission should follow the visioning plan and take developers' input as well.
Foremost, he said, the commission needs to "set the standards and be consistent."

This article first appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Saturday, March 7, 2015:
The employment report from the Labor Department on Friday was hailed as more evidence that the worst from the Great Recession is now in the rear view mirror, and receding. The unemployment rate in February dropped to 5.5 percent, lower than economists were predicting, while job growth added nearly 300,000 jobs, pushing the streak of gains of 200,000-plus new jobs per month out to a full year, the longest such streak since 1995.
The news caused stocks to lose more than one percent of their value, as Wall Street expected the robust numbers to hasten the day when the Fed would increase interest rates, potentially slowing the sluggish economy even further. Investors needn't worry: Friday's report was a head-fake.
If the recovery were real,

CRUISE SHIP GUESTS: Sailing and snorkeling in the St. John National Park is world famous and best enjoyed on a highly personalized, owner operated, and traditional six passenger sailboat. The cruise lines do not provide or promote small private tours. So, avoid the crowds and multi passenger tours by exploring on your own. It's easy! Taxis are numerous and you'll see much of the island on the ride to or from the ship. The normal full day sail allows for plenty of time or if desired, a custom, exclusive charter can be arranged to allow a little more time for shopping etc... |
LARGER GROUPS: If you have a larger group, (more than six) but don't want to go on a multi passenger boat that takes up to 49 people, we love to do 'tandem' charters with our friends that also have six passenger sailboats. The 'Regatta' style charter is lots of fun, sailing together and then anchoring together for snorkeling, beaching, and boat hopping! |
The Virgin Islands are a very popular and beautiful place to get married or renew your vows. If you have a small group, we can help with recommendations on ministers or coordinators to help you plan a beautiful wedding aboard the "Fantasy". |
Some of the many places we go on our daysails...
Family Reunion! |
Lets go snorkeling! |
Tandem sailing with our friends!!! |
Great family fun!!! |
Beaches St. John National Park! |
Snorkel clear turquoise waters! |

Capriati, 28, beat 16-year-old Frenchwoman Tatiana Golovin 6-3, 6-2, after receiving a bye into the round of 16.
Capriati beat Lindsay Davenport in last year's all-American final here.
In other second-round play, seventh-seeded Russian Elena Bovina defeated Spaniard Marta Marrero 6-3, 6-2. In opening-round action, Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova beat American Lindsay Lee-Waters 7-6 (7-2), 7-5.
Top-seeded Davenport pulled out on Monday, leaving American lucky-loser Marissa Irvin to take her place in the draw. Hantuchova will face Irvin, and not Davenport, in the second round.
Davenport, who pulled out with a wrist injury, has won her last four tournaments.

Tibetan Golden Snow Lion Coin Earrings
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Member Products/Jewelry
Since the first half of the 20th century, the mythical, celestial snow lion has been the national protector of Tibet, blazing with fearlessness and representing dominance over the Himalayan mountains.

Ottoman Turquoise and Ruby Earrings
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Member Products/Jewelry
The Imperial Treasury in Istanbul's Topkapi Palace is still home to the most lavish riches of the Ottoman era. Here you'll find the legendary, jewel-encrusted Topkapi Dagger, golden thrones, an 86-karat diamond, and many more remarkably ornate treasures. These gold, turquoise, and ruby accents are adaptations of jewels worn by women of the seraglio, where the wives of the Ottoman officials lived. |
Italian Renaissance Earrings
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Jewelry/Earrings
At the foot of Mount Vesuvius, just 10 miles south of Naples, lies the fishing town of Torre del Greco. Long known for their carved shell cameos, Torre del Greco jewelers also work with gold and gems, using time-honored techniques such as lost-wax casting. In lost-wax casting, a jeweler carves his or her design in wax, and then forms a mold around the model. When molten metal is poured into the mold, the wax melts away, leaving a perfect reproduction of the original model.
Available styles: Ruby with Pearl, Pearl with Sapphire
Art Nouveau Italian Earrings
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Jewelry/Earrings
Renaissance meets Art Nouveau in these pearl and gemstone earrings. Art Nouveau flourished in Europe during the turn of the 20th century. Its streamlined, geometric shapes influenced everything from advertising to architecture, furniture to fashion. In Rome, an architect named Gino Coppede designed an entire neighborhood in the Art Nouveau style, right down to the street lamps. The "Quartiere Coppede" still looks much as it did when the architect died in 1927.
Available styles: Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire

Category: Jewelry/Earrings
Charleston, South Carolina, is a veritable outdoor ironwork museum, with its pedestrian-friendly streets and a tradition of cast-iron and wrought-iron gates, fences, and balconies that date back to the early 18th century. British styles were the earliest to take hold in the city, but a local style soon evolved and gained national attention, with elements that were influenced by German ironworkers and the neoclassical design that was popular in architecture of the 19th century. |

Category: Jewelry/Earrings
Silversmithing has a long and respected history on the Indonesian island of Bali, where the word pandai means both "smith" and "clever."

Now 79, Seeger lives in upstate New York, and is on a sabbatical from touring. Seeger reports that Musselman undertook the album because "he was unhappy people weren't singing my songs." And Seeger is obviously proud of it. "They've done a wonderful job, and I'm very proud that all these people want to sing my songs."
Yet, while rumors about his health abound, the Seeger I interview sounds blithe, and, as always, he is remarkably articulate. "My voice is about 70 percent gone," he jokes. "I tell people, 'From the shoulders down I'm about 80 percent here. From the shoulders up I'm about 20 percent here. Eyes gone. Ears gone. Voice gone. Brain--forget it.'"
Though this diagnosis is a charming piece of self-effacement, it doesn't ring true; this is a man with at least a couple lives left to lead. In 10 minutes, Seeger talks about his favorite South African pop song (the above mentioned "Mbube"), anarchism, and the apparent stupidity of record collecting ("I like to make music," he says).
A few albums that Seeger does listen to are steel-drum recordings: He likes to strap on skates and zip around the frozen pond behind his house with the melodic beat booming from an outdoor speaker. "That's the best music to skate to I might tell you; it beats Viennese waltzes. I once skated around to Bob Dylan's record of John Wesley Harding 'til I wore it out."
Though Seeger writes few songs these days--Feldman claims that the singer remains a prolific correspondent--his back catalog has lost none of its pertinence, as this latest album makes clear. And Seeger is ever the proselytizer. "I think the world can be saved by thousands of little organizations," he announces with the assurance of someone forecasting a sunrise. And who's to say it won't.

"The shopping cart tree symbolizes both generosity and abundance, as
well as acknowledging those less fortunate where their whole world may be
housed in a cart. We see shopping
carts everyday and take them for granted.
Individually the beauty of an everyday object may become invisible, but
in quantity you can't miss it", remarks Schmitt.
The 2009 Shopping Cart Tree is built with 84 carts, mostly full size
with a few smaller versions at the top, to create a forced perspective of
height. The internal structure,
engineered for stability and invisibility, allows the branch-like quality of
the carts to appear self-supporting and remind us that imagination can always
be applied to the season. The
Shopping Cart Tree is not only covered by the local papers every holiday
season, but also mentioned in several international travel guides for Santa

Met. But it was both grandmothers who
bestowed Schmitt with inspiration; one with a fascination for simplicity and
elegance through the display of collectibles in a formal living space and the
other with an eye for mixed media before it's time using torn pages of literacy
magazines and found objects in collage.
his artistic career took early root when in 3rd grade Schmitt's teacher
showed his artwork around, allowing him an invitation to attend a gifted art
program at Arizona State University.
He's never looked back. In
1975, Schmitt graduated high school with "Artist of the Year" and was awarded a
scholarship to Brigham Young University.
Majoring in Fine Art at BYU sounds admirable, but his father, a
corporate man to the bone, felt a "real job" was in order.

fine-tuned his skills in creating looks, telling stories, interpreting style
and installing vitrines and windows.
His talents were quickly recognized and he was transferred to the sister
company, The Broadway. Five years
and the regularly top-selling cosmetics department led to one of the highly
sought after positions of Display Manager at Barney's NY. For the next five years, Schmitt
traveled around the world opening stores for Barney's, including their top
selling stores on Madison Avenue in New York, in Beverly Hills, California and
their store in Yokohama and Tokyo Japan.

invited back again and again."
That first trip to Japan with Barney's led to an introduction to the
Isetan Family and an invitation to design and layout the merchandising for the
Harbor Circus Mall in Kobe, Japan.
Immediately following, Schmitt designed the B-2 at Pasaona Restaurant in
Tokyo for Yoshimi Kono, Kono Design.
And, in turn, came another introduction to Nozomi Tearo, who asked
Schmitt to be an art director for her authentic American-style summer camp,
Msterio. Schmitt is on his eighth
year with Msterio.
1994, as a favor to a friend and looking for a much-needed rest, Schmitt arrived
in Santa Monica, California to design and manage the first satellite museum
store for MOCA. The original idea
was for a temporary, neighborhood, holiday boutique, which would relocate every
year. The store was a huge success
and became a permanent location for five years at the Frank O. Gehry designed
Edgemar. Schmitt became acquainted with several
of the merchants on Main Street in Santa Monica. Word spread of his talents in boutique store design and creative
window displays. Schmitt has since
designed two stores for Highlights, a contemporary lighting showroom chain,
Sara Jo, an accessories boutique in Pacific Palisades, Gaia, a women's apparel
