The British Library holds hundreds of thousands of topographical views, the most comprehensive and important collection in Britain.
'Topography' is a term that has been has been disputed for centuries. It tends to hold negative connotations: 'topographic' views are often seen as secondary to 'fine art' or 'landscape' views as a result of their being created primarily to provide a visual record of a particular area rather than as a form of self expression. Famously, Royal Academician Henry Fuseli (1741-1825) dismissed topography as "the tame delineation of a given spot" (1801) and Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), on being asked by the Earl of Hardwicke to paint a 'real view' replied that 'with respect to real views from Nature in this Country' he had never seen 'any Place that affords a Subject equal to the poorest imitations of Gaspar [Garpard Dughet ( 1615-1675)] or Claude [Claude Lorrain (1604/5-1682)]'; and that if Hardwicke wished 'to have anything tolerable in the name of G', it must 'be of his own Brain'.
However, in practice topographic views can provide a background for and challenge perceptions of the 'landscape' tradition, and have responded to historical shifts in taste, aesthetics and style in telling ways. Topographical art had an important part to play in the rise of the Picturesque landscape in the late eighteenth century for example - the taste for irregular and 'natural' scenery which influenced garden design and landscape painting. Many key artists were trained in topography, including J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). His famous sketching tours took topographical art to new levels of artistic ambition.
The Library's collections act as useful tools for the social, local, landscape, architectural, or environmental historian and illustrate the enormous demand for topographic views before the invention of photography. The views are not to be taken as straightforward factual records, as they were created for a great variety of reasons to serve a range of functions - documenting landed property, serving military and imperial purposes, commercial travel or tourism. We need to unravel the social circumstances and complex influences which led artists, patrons or customers to choose to portray and 'view' the world around them in particular ways.

Pleasantly surprised
Cool Addition To Costume, Fun, Great Fit
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I am a larger woman, weighing about 160. I have bigger thighs and butt, being a pear shape. I was reluctant ordering this product because usually tights like this will stretch and look unattractive on me. However, they fit beautifully!

Touch Typing
A Skill for LIFE!
Highly recommended for DYSLEXIA or DYSPRAXIA
At FunTech, we are passionate believers that touch typing is a core skill that all children should be taught. As computers become an ever more integral part of the education process, the ability to type quickly, efficiently and easily is becoming even more essential.
For example, many 'A' Level Computing students are required to sit their exam on the computer, which makes typing effectively even more important, saving time, reducing mistakes and thereby enhancing performance on the day. This is just one of the consequent benefits your child would receive from attending regular FunTyper classes.
Children who can touch type complete both class and homework faster, and with fewer errors. It's also great for self-confidence, and significantly reduces every child's risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and Limb Disorder (LD).
In addition, FunTyper is an excellent tool for making typing accessible to children with special educational needs. Our system is recommended by education psychologists and special needs teachers, and is great way to help pupils unlock their true potential.

Hello Amber Lynn ,
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. Here is the brief
introduction and opportunity we have in the ministry.
The Ministry is created to do its part in reaching the street kids in Addis
Ababa at present we have 5 kids in the rehabilitation center, other works
are tutoring poor kids that is done once a week at two sites there are
around 30 kids in this program from those we cover school fees and materials
of 6 kids, the main responsibilities of a volunteer would be participating
in the above listed programs and also create a new and innovative way to
change the behaviors of street children in the base.
In the near future we are planning to fundraise at different places in
Ethiopia and if you are interested you can help us in this direction too
like preparing programs and so on. Having said this much let me add a little
about the staff we are all young christians and some are living in the
rehabilitation center with the kids.
I have tried to give you some idea, if it is not clear Please feel free to
ask me.
Thank you very much and I hope to work with you soon.

Nutty Noodle Salad
I used to love peanut noodles, but I think I like this salad better. I made it with ingredients that I always have on hand.
Sauce ingredients:
1/3 c. almonds
1 T. nut oil
1 T. agave (or your preferred sweetner)
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1 t. nama shoyu (or salt to taste)
Cayenne, to taste
¼ to ½ garlic clove, depending on the size of the clove
coin slized slice of ginger
Salad ingredients:
Kelp noodles
Romaine lettuce
Sesame seeds
Green onions
Lime wedges

The world's number one platinum producer Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) announced on Tuesday it was closing four shafts in northern South Africa, which could affect 14,000 jobs in the volatile mining sector.
The closure will lead to a reduction in production of some 400,000 ounces a year, with Amplats setting a new baseline production target of 2.1 — 2.3 million ounces annually, the company said in a statement. Amplats would also sell its Union mines.
Of the jobs, 13,000 will be in Rustenburg, the heart of South Africa's platinum belt, which saw violent strikes last year, as miners downed tools demanding higher wages. Dozens died around the Lonmin Plc mines in the area.
The closures could spark another wave of unrest in South Africa's mining sector as militant workers' groups have threatened to launch new strikes if mining firms announce layoffs. The mining company said it intends to create new 14,000 jobs to balance the effects of the restructuring.
Amplats said "a number of its mines have been under considerable economic pressure for some time."
Mining union "shocked"
The National Union of Mineworkers in South Africa, the country's largest mining union, said it was calling for workers to fight the expected 14,000 retrenchments at Anglo American platinum.
"We are very shocked by the decision. We are appealing to workers to have unity and discipline to deal with this retrenchment," Lesiba Seshoka, spokesman for NUM, told DPA by telephone.

A current research topic in molecular thermodynamics is the condensation of vapor to liquid and the investigation of this process at the molecular level. Condensation is found in many physical phenomena, e.g. the formation of atmospheric clouds or the processes inside steam turbines, where a detailed knowledge of the dynamics of condensation processes will help to optimize energy efficiency and avoid problems with droplets of macroscopic size. The key properties of these processes are the nucleation rate and the critical cluster size. For the calculation of these properties it is essential to make use of a meaningful definition of molecular clusters, which currently is a not completely resolved issue. In this paper a framework capable of interactively visualizing molecular datasets of such nucleation simulations is presented, with an emphasis on the detected molecular clusters. To check the quality of the results of the cluster detection, our framework introduces the concept of flow groups to highlight potential cluster evolution over time which is not detected by the employed algorithm. To confirm the findings of the visual analysis, we coupled the rendering view with a schematic view of the clusters' evolution. This allows to rapidly assess the quality of the molecular cluster detection algorithm and to identify locations in the simulation data in space as well as in time where the cluster detection fails. Thus, thermodynamics researchers can eliminate weaknesses in their cluster detection algorithms. Several examples for the effective and efficient usage of our tool are presented.

In this article, we'll create our own simple programming language for mapping a dungeon role-playing game. Our language will consist of an external domain specific language, including types, source code sections, and strings. Our main program will load the external DSL code file into a state machine and execute the program, allowing us to walk through a deep, dank dungeon in search of treasure!
void Main() { State emptyRoom = new State("Empty Room"); State treasureRoom = new State("Treasure Room"); Event southEvent = new Event("south"); Event northEvent = new Event("north"); emptyRoom.AddTransition(southEvent, treasureRoom); treasureRoom.AddTransition(northEvent, emptyRoom); }
In the above example, we've defined C# .NET code to implement a state machine with two states, representing rooms in the dungeon. Since the code is hard-coded, users would be unable to modify the logic. We can extend our application by allowing configuration through an external domain specific language, namely, a custom programming language. The custom programming language would only include terms needed to produce desired functionality, which in our case, includes traversing a set of rooms (ie., states) and invoking actions. Sweeping the Dungeon Clean Similar to the above internal DSL, an example external domain specific language might appear as follows:
events moveSouth south moveNorth north end state emptyRoom "Empty Room" end state treasureRoom "Treasure Room" end connect emptyRoom to treasureRoom by moveSouth connect treasureRoom to emptyRoom by moveNorth
The above code requires no knowledge of C# .NET, nor any other programming language, and yet it allows the user to implement a fully operating program. The DSL created further down in this article will be similar to the above example, but we'll be adding an additional construct to include actions within a state. Speaking the Language of the Dungeon Dwellers To get started, we'll want to define some basic programming terms, which can be utilized in the external domain specific language source code. Since we'll be configuring a basic state machine, we can limit the required programming concepts to include commands, events, and states. To avoid complex parsing, we'll simply tokenize the source code by spaces, and parse by section. We'll ignore looping, function calls, and other more complicated constructs. We'll include the following rules: The keyword "end" terminates a section, resetting the state machine. The keyword "commands" begins a section for defining state machine commands (actions). The keyword "events" begins a section for defining state machine events, used for moving to the next state. The keyword "state" begins a section for defining a state. A state may include actions and transitions. The keyword "action" defines a named action to be executed by a state. The keyword "transitions" beings a section within a state for triggering target states by event. The keyword "." terminates a transitions section. The keyword "=>" defines a mapping for a transition, linking an event to a state. We can choose any type of character or phrase to use in our domain specific languages. In this example, I've chosen some relatively simple keywords and characters, such as the period character to end a transition section, and the familiar C# .NET lambda symbol to mark a transition of event to state. Hello, Dungeon! An example for our language would be as follows:
commands sayHello "Hello World" sayGoodbye "Goodbye world" end events sayHi hi sayBye bye end state idle action sayHello transitions sayBye => byeState . end state byeState action sayGoodbye transitions sayHi => idle . end
Loading this code into our state machine would produce the following result:
Executing idle sayHello (Hello World) > bye Executing byeState sayGoodbye (Goodbye world) > hi Executing idle sayHello (Hello World)
public abstract class AbstractEvent { public string Name; public string Code; public AbstractEvent() { } public AbstractEvent(string name, string code) { Name = name; Code = code; } }
We can then define the Command and Event class as follows:
public class Command : AbstractEvent { public Command() { } public Command(string name, string eventCode) { Name = name; Code = eventCode; } } public class Event : AbstractEvent { public Event() { } public Event(string name, string eventCode) { Name = name; Code = eventCode; } }
The All-Powerful State Class We can move on to implementing our State class, which will serve as the overall "node" object for our state machine. In our dungeon example, each State object will represent a room in the dungeon. We can define the State as follows:
public class State { public string Name; private List<Command> _actions = new List<Command>(); private Dictionary<string, Transition> _transitions = new Dictionary<string, Transition>(); public State(string name) { Name = name; } public void AddTransition(Event anEvent, State state) { if (state != null) { _transitions.Add(anEvent.Code, new Transition(this, anEvent, state)); } } public void AddAction(Command action) { _actions.Add(action); } public List<State> GetTargets() { List<State> result = new List<State>(); foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Transition> item in _transitions) { result.Add(item.Value.Target); } return result; } public List<string> GetEventCodes() { List<string> result = new List<string>(); foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Transition> item in _transitions) { result.Add(item.Value.EventCode); } return result; } public bool HasTransition(string eventCode) { return _transitions.ContainsKey(eventCode); } public State GetTargetState(string eventCode) { return _transitions[eventCode].Target; } public void Execute() { Console.WriteLine("Executing " + Name); foreach (Command command in _actions) { // Execute command Console.WriteLine(command.Name + " (" + command.Code + ")"); } } }
In the above code, we've defined a State object. The State object includes a list of Transitions and a list of Actions. Actions will be executed when the state is active. In our example, an action simply prints text. However, a state could be expanded to provide a variety of features or calculations. Transitions will map paths from this state to the next. Each transition will contain an event (such as responding to a code), which triggers the transition to the next state. Arms and Legs for our Beast With our State object defined, we can move on to connecting them together with Transitions. The Transition class can be defined as follows:
public class Transition { public State Source; public State Target; public Event Trigger; public string EventCode { get { return Trigger.Code; } } public Transition() { } public Transition(State source, Event trigger, State target) { Source = source; Trigger = trigger; Target = target; } }
The Transition class contains a Source state, a Target state, and a Trigger. In order for a State (the Source) to transition to the next State (the Target), an event will need to fire (the Trigger). The Transition class is the key to link States together, mapping a complete state machine object. The Machine Finally, we can implement the encapsulating StateMachine class, which holds the entire state machine mapping. Since each State is connected to the next via Transition links, we only need to point to the starting State. Just as with a linked list, we can traverse the state machine by following the paths. Our StateMachine can be defined as follows:
public class StateMachine { public State Start; private List<Event> _resetEvents = new List<Event>(); public StateMachine(State start) { Start = start; } public List<State> GetStates(State start) { List<State> result = new List<State>(); // Add the starting state. result.Add(start); // Add all reachable states. result.AddRange(start.GetTargets()); return result; } public void AddResetEvent(Event anEvent) { _resetEvents.Add(anEvent); } public bool IsResetEvent(string eventCode) { foreach (Event anEvent in _resetEvents) { if (anEvent.Code == eventCode) { return true; } } return false; } public List<string> GetResetEventCodes() { List<string> result = new List<string>(); foreach (Event anEvent in _resetEvents) { result.Add(anEvent.Code); } return result; } }
The StateMachine contains a starting State, which can be traversed through to the subsequent states. We've also included a few utility methods to make our custom applications a little more interesting. These methods include getting a list of all states in the state machine and adding reset events (which exits the current state and immediately resets the state machine). Giving our Monster a Go With the state machine defined, we can actually use it right now, with a simple internal domain specific language. We can manually instantiate states and connect them with transitions.
void Main() { State idle = new State("idle"); State waitingForByeCommand = new State("waitingForByeCommand"); Event sayHi = new Event("sayHi", "hi"); Event sayBye = new Event("sayBye", "bye"); idle.AddTransition(sayBye, waitingForByeCommand); waitingForByeCommand.AddTransition(sayHi, idle); StateMachine machine = new StateMachine(idle); Controller controller = new Controller(machine); ... }
The above program would execute our basic state machine, although the logic is hard-coded within C# .NET. By de-coupling the programming logic from C# and providing a custom programming language, as an external domain specific language, we can allow any user to modify and/or create custom applications with a simple text file. Re-working the Main Program We can modify the above main program, to allow for reading a custom programming file and executing the state machine, as follows:
static void Main() { string command = ""; // Get application folder. string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location); // Setup a state machine by reading the external domain specific language program. Parser parser = new Parser(); StateMachine machine = parser.GetStateMachine(path + "\\dungeon.txt"); Console.WriteLine("Loading of External DSL completed.\n"); // Setup controller to run state machine. Controller controller = new Controller(machine); // Display some help. Console.WriteLine("> Q = Quit, ? = Available Commands"); Console.WriteLine("> Entering the dungeon."); // Execute the starting state. controller.CurrentState.Execute(); // Read commands from user to activate state machine. while (command.ToLower() != "q") { Console.Write("> "); // Read a command. command = Console.ReadLine(); // Send the command to our state machine. HandleCommand(controller, command); } } private static void HandleCommand(Controller controller, string command) { if (!controller.Handle(command)) { if (command == "?") { // Display available commands for the given state. foreach (string eventCode in controller.CurrentState.GetEventCodes()) { Console.WriteLine(eventCode); } } else if (command.ToLower() != "q") { Console.WriteLine("Huh?"); } } }
The above main program loads custom programming code from a text file. The contents are then parsed and loaded into the state machine. We can then execute the state machine based upon input from the command line. The HandleCommand helper method simply sends the user command from the command-line to the Controller, for processing in the state machine. Speaking the Language of the Villagers The state machine implementation is fairly basic in nature, which will help us in parsing an external domain specific language. One of the more complex tasks in implementing an external domain specific language is the parsing of source code. While internal domain specific languages (ie., fluent interfaces, well-named APIs, method chaining, etc) come with built-in parsing support via the native programming language (C#, Java, Lisp, etc), our custom external DSL will need its own parser defined. A programming language parser can be as simple or complex as you need. You could choose to handle a variety of formatting, special characters, comments, and more. However, for our example, we'll simply parse by spaces and toggle the reading of sections by tracking our state in the code file. Since we'll be tracking our own state as we read through the code file, we can actually take advantage of our own state machine class. We'll configure our own internal state machine to parse the code file and instantiate the user's (external) state machine. Once our parser state machine is configured, we can tokenize the code file input, and process each token based upon the parser's current state as follows:
private StateMachine ParseDSL(string content) { StateMachine stateMachine = null; State currentState = null; Command command = null; Event anEvent = null; State state = null; Transition transition = null; // Encode strings before parsing. content = Utility.PreProcess(content); string separators = " \r\n\t"; string[] tokens = content.Split(separators.ToCharArray()); foreach (string token in tokens) { // Decode strings from token. string tokenValue = Utility.PostProcess(token); string tokenLwr = tokenValue.ToLower(); // Pass the token to our state machine to handle. bool handled = _controller.Handle(tokenLwr); if (!handled && tokenLwr.Length > 0) { // Process the token under our current state. switch (_controller.CurrentState.Name) { case "waitingForCommand": { // Read a Command Name. command = new Command(); command.Name = tokenValue; // Move state to read Command Code. _controller.Handle(_startCode); break; } case "waitingForCommandCode": { // Read a Command Code. command.Code = tokenValue; _commandList.Add(command.Name, command); // Move state back to read Command Name. _controller.Handle(_endCode); break; } case "waitingForEvent": { // Read an Event Name. anEvent = new Event(); anEvent.Name = tokenValue; // Move state to read an Event Code. _controller.Handle(_startCode); break; } case "waitingForEventCode": { // Read an Event Code. anEvent.Code = tokenValue; _eventList.Add(anEvent.Name, anEvent); // Move state back to read an Event Name. _controller.Handle(_endCode); break; } case "waitingForState": { // Read a State Name, stay in this state until command read. state = new State(tokenValue); currentState = state; _stateList.Add(tokenValue, state); break; } case "waitingForAction": { // Read an Action Name. state.AddAction(_commandList[tokenValue]); // Move state back to reading a State. _controller.Handle(_endCode); break; } case "waitingForTransition": { // Read a Transition Trigger. transition = new Transition(); transition.Source = currentState; transition.Trigger = _eventList[tokenValue]; break; } case "waitingForTransitionState": { // Read a Transition Target. if (_stateList.ContainsKey(tokenValue)) { transition.Target = _stateList[tokenValue]; currentState.AddTransition(transition.Trigger, transition.Target); } else { // Add reference to bind later. _symbolTableForStateList.Add(new Utility.SymbolTableForState(currentState, transition, "Target", _stateList, tokenValue)); } // Move state back to reading a Transition. _controller.Handle(_endCode); break; } } } } // Resolve any references to unknown states. Utility.ResolveReferences(_symbolTableForStateList); // Create the state machine with the starting state. stateMachine = new StateMachine(_stateList["idle"]); return stateMachine; }
public static void ResolveReferences(List<Utility.SymbolTableForState> symbolTableForStateList) { // Go through each item added to the lookup state list to resolve. for (int i = 0; i < symbolTableForStateList.Count; i++) { // Get the type and field for the target property name to assign. Type type = symbolTableForStateList[i].Transition.GetType(); FieldInfo field = type.GetField(symbolTableForStateList[i].PropertyName); // Get the state and value for the transition. object obj = symbolTableForStateList[i].Transition; object value = symbolTableForStateList[i].Dictionary[symbolTableForStateList[i].Token]; // Assign the state to the transition. field.SetValue(obj, value); // Add the transition to the parent state. Transition transition = (Transition)obj; symbolTableForStateList[i].CurrentState.AddTransition(transition.Trigger, transition.Target); } }
Our Dungeon Program Rocks We've now completed our C# .NET external domain specific language implementation and can now create our program code file. We'll use our custom programming language, as defined by the parser, to create our dungeon program. Note, that since we parse upon spaces, the code file is quite flexible with regard to new lines, spacing, indentation, and even bad characters (all of which are simply ignored when processing). Our dungeon is defined as follows:
commands tree "You see a circle of trees." pit "You see a dark bottomless pit." light "You see an endless white light." box "You see an ominous box with a smaller glitter inside." treasure "You find a pile of sparkling treasure!" fall "You try to move past the pit, but slip and fall into oblivion." reset "Type 'reincarnate' for a new life." end events moveNorth north moveSouth south moveEast east moveWest west openBox open reincarnate reincarnate end state idle action light transitions moveNorth => treeState moveSouth => pitState . end state treeState action tree transitions moveSouth => idle . end state pitState action pit transitions moveNorth => idle moveSouth => fallState moveEast => boxState . end state boxState action box transitions moveWest => pitState openBox => treasureState . end state treasureState action treasure transitions moveWest => pitState . end state fallState action fall transitions reincarnate => idle . action reset end
In the above external domain specific language, we've defined several states. Note, while we've used indentation for readability, all extraneous spacing and new lines are ignored. Since we're using a state machine for our parser, we can include any combination of sections, provided they contain the proper enclosing section names. For example, each state defines actions and transitions. We can include the actions at the top of the state definition, at the bottom, or spread between the top and bottom. In addition, the order of states is not important, since we resolve references to unknown states at the end of parsing. Crawling the Dungeon Running the example program with our dungeon.txt code file produces the following output:
... Executing idle Executing waitingForState Executing waitingForAction Executing waitingForState Executing waitingForTransition Executing waitingForTransitionState Executing waitingForTransition Executing waitingForState Executing waitingForAction Executing waitingForTransitionState Executing waitingForTransition Executing waitingForState Executing waitingForAction Executing waitingForState Executing idle Loading of External DSL completed. > Q = Quit, ? = Available Commands > Entering the dungeon.

A Challenge, Young Warrior For a fun excercise, feel free to extend the dungeon code file with additional rooms, actions, story-line, and goals! Using the domain specific language, you could easily extend the application to include portals, penalties, items, mazes, and more.

Trade is essential to America's economic growth, high standard of living, and job creation in the states. The U.S. is the world's largest trading nation, exporting nearly $1.3 trillion in goods and services in 2005. Over one-fifth of the growth in U.S. GDP depended on exports in 2005. Domestically, manufacturing exports supported an estimated 5.2 million jobs (in 2002 - latest data), including 1 in 5 manufacturing jobs. Jobs supported by goods exports pay 13-18% higher than the average wage.
Every state in the Union depends upon trade for jobs. To give just a few examples, over 700,000 jobs in California are supported by U.S. manufactured goods exports. Nearly one-quarter of all manufacturing jobs in Massachusetts, and nearly 20 percent of all manufacturing jobs in Michigan were supported by exports (as of 2002). Iowa exported to 180 foreign markets in 2005 and is the nation's 2nd largest exporter of agricultural products, with exports valued at over $4.0 billion.
Additionally, more than 5.1 million Americans have "insourced" jobs, drawing their paychecks from U.S. subsidiaries of overseas-based companies (as of 2004). Pennsylvania, for example, has 225,000 people employed by overseas-based companies. Nearly 127,000 jobs in Tennessee and 71,000 jobs in Alabama are the result of insourced jobs. Trade keeps our economy open, dynamic, and competitive, and helps ensure that America continues to be the best place in the world to do business.

Worldwide electricity consumption of communication networks |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 26, pp. B513-B524 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (888 KB)
There is a growing research interest in improving the energy efficiency of communication networks. In order to assess the impact of introducing new energy efficient technologies, an up-to-date estimate for the global electricity consumption in communication networks is needed. In this paper we consider the use phase electricity consumption of telecom operator networks, office networks and customer premises equipment. Our results show that the network electricity consumption is growing fast, at a rate of 10 % per year, and its relative contribution to the total worldwide electricity consumption has increased from 1.3% in 2007 to 1.8% in 2012. We estimate the worldwide electricity consumption of communication networks will exceed 350 TWh in 2012.

My son has several food allergies, and family and friends seem to have a very hard time remembering what these things are. So, I engraved some wooden beads with his allergies, and my friend made them into an amber necklace, which you can see here. I am now making custom beads and all sorts of allergy and other medical necklaces and bracelets. Here are a few that I recently completed:
This photo was graciously edited by our own Kiss915 (you can get some of her yummy treats here).
This one says "celiac" on the other side.
You can see more allergy alert jewelry on my etsy site. I am also working on some shoe beads and charms that can be attached to clothing, backpacks, etc. So keep your eye out for those! And right now, I am offering these new items at a reduced, introductory price!

Two food-filled fundraisers are looking to turn a few of our favorite vices (drinking, gambling, jail stints) into non-profit proceeds. On March 10th, A Place Called Home is bringing back its "Stars and Strikes," an eating, bowling, and casino night party at Pinz Bowling in Studio City that has drawn celebrities like Penny Marshall, Mark Wahlberg, Wilder Valderama, and a scattering of Laker Girls and other stars over its last three years.
The entire bowling alley will be open exclusively to guests and Whole Foods Market will contribute a massive all-you-can-eat spread for munchies, while a drawing for dinners at Taste and Beechwood, among other prizes, pops off at 9:30 p.m. Upstairs, a No Limit Hold 'Em tournament will be hosted by World Series of Poker Championship dealer Jolyn Haviland. Eat, drink, and gamble away, as proceeds go to A Place Called Home, which which provides education, arts, counseling, groceries and a safe-haven for youth and families in South L.A. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. 7-11 P.M. at PINZ, 12655 Ventura Blvd. Studio City. Find tickets and poker registration online.
Rolling down to Chino, February 17th will find the mock-arrest of some of the city's most prominent players. Chino Hills' website says the charge is technically "having a big heart for Jerry's Kids," which means they support the Muscular Dystrophy Association, lest you get the wrong idea. The execs and business leaders will be nabbed in their offices and brought to BJ's Brewhouse from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. At that point, they'll be photographed, fingerprinted, and donate "bail" of $1,600, then get to network while they eat BJ's food, which could possibly be a punishment, depending on the location. Whether or not this satiates anyone's lust for corporate blood or turns into a beer-soaked tar-and-feathering isn't important, it's all for a good cause.
The Chino/ Chino Hills Executive Lock-Up: 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, 4585 Chino Hills Parkway. Chino and Chino Hills.

The event will include two age classes… an adult class, and a youth class for shooters aged 16 years and younger. Minimum age for shooters is 12 years old. Any shooter age 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
Each shooter will be put in a drawing for a Browning Buck Mark MS Camper .22 target pistol. The top shooter in each class will receive an additional 5 chances in the drawing; the 2nd place shooter in each class will receive an additional 3 chances; and the 3rd place shooter in each class will receive one additional chance.
This steel target competition will consist of 5 rounds on 5 stations, with 5 shots per station (total of 125 shots). Each round will be electronically timed. Event registration and practice shooting begins at 8:30 a.m., with competition set to begin at 9:00 a.m.
Registration will be $25 per shooter if registered before July 1. After July 1, registration will be $35 per person. Registration includes lunch.
Shooters will need to furnish their own guns, ammunition, hearing protection, and eye protection. Only .22 caliber pistols are allowed to be used in this competition. In order to have ammunition ready while competing, it is recommended you bring multiple clips for your gun. Ammunition will be available for sale at cost.
A portion of the proceeds for the 4th Annual Young Leader Pistol Shoot will be used to support the Young Leader Collegiate Scholarship program.
