text: Lawler has won 163 championships throughout his career, including one reign as American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Champion and more than 50 reigns as American Wrestling Association Southern Heavyweight Champion. Lawler held the latter championship another 17 times when the National Wrestling Alliance controlled it. He is also a 3 time World Class Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Champion (United States Wrestling Association Unified World Heavyweight Champion in the third case). Plus if he beats The Miz you can throw that on top. So the question should be who is going to beat Jerry Lawler's record :-)

E3 2012: Resident Evil 6 exclusive interview
Capcom's Resident Evil series is back with the biggest installment ever. Three protagonists will be crossing the globe to deal with this latest viral outbreak, including Wesker's kid and a very sexy Leon Kennedy. GameZone's own Vito Gesualdi caught up with Capcom at E3 2012 to get the scoop on this upcoming game, and reveals his infatuation for a certain jacket-wearing action hero.
Game features:
- Horror on a global scale - No longer confined to a specific location, the outbreak of the C-virus is worldwide with the action taking place in North America, Eastern Europe and China
- Multiple characters and intertwined storylines - Experience the horror playing as Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Jake Muller with their respective partners
- Solo or co-op - Resident Evil 6 delivers both single and co-op gameplay either offline or online
- Zombies make a return to the Resident Evil series, but can now run, jump at players and even use weapons, making them far more challenging than in previous games
- The enemy creatures known as J'avo first came to prominence in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe and have the ability to regenerate when injured; furthermore, if J'avo take substantial damage to a particular area, they can mutate the affected body part into a variety of different forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and adapt to this unpredictability

What day of the week was the day of Pentecost falling on in Acts 2? Was it Saturday or Sunday? Or some other day?
There is not full agreement among different people. According to the People's New Testament it fell on a Sunday (50 days after Christ rose from the dead) and this seems to make sense to me because the death, burial, resurrection, and blessing of the Sprit all have a meaningful relationship with existing Jewish feats.
I agree with the People's New Testament calculation partly because it matches so well with the symbolism of the events, which seems to be a biblical way of events naturally occurring. Sometimes when we get deep into the nifty gritty about Jewish things, such as this, I prefer to find a source that Jewish Christians support as they are more aware of the Laws of Moses then regular Christians are (although not always of course).
From a Jewish Christian site I found an excellent article on the subject explaining why it fell on a Sunday and why objections to this argument are not well founded:
The answer to this question is found in the Hebrew Bible--the day was Sunday. In order to understand the parallel, one must assume and then accept the Scriptures with the PLAIN and NORMAL understanding of its own words and meanings.
In other words, the VERY SAME DAY that the Mosaic Covenant was inaugurated to the nation of Israel on Sinai (Sunday) was the VERY SAME DAY that the New Covenant was announced to the nation of Israel (Sunday). The timing was exactly 50 days from the day as mentioned in Leviticus 23:16.
Thus in the former case, the law of God was written on stones; in the latter, the law of God was then written on hearts. In the former case the Feast of First Fruits marked the blessing of water from heaven (that precipitated abundant crops); in the latter case, this water from heaven was eternal life (that precipitated the "first fruits of the Spirit" mentioned in Romans 8:23). Please click here for an overview depiction to compare and contrast the concepts and the respective timelines concerned.
The parallels are remarkable (and breathtaking) when we assume and then accept the Scriptures with the PLAIN and NORMAL understanding of its own words and meanings.
In summary, there is no academic sophistry here--"Pentecost" thus occurred on a Sunday as we view the parallels from the Hebrew Bible.
It is impossible for Yeshua to have been crucified on a Friday as he had to be in the tomb "three days and three nights". The misunderstanding comes from not reconciling both the Sabbath of the 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the weekly (Saturday) Sabbath. There were two Sabbaths that week; Yeshua died on Passover, but the Jews had changed the dates, consolidating the Passover with the first day of the Feast when they are two separate days. Passover is on the 14th of Abib, Feast of Unleavened Bread starts on the 15th and goes through the 21st - both 1st and last days are considered 'high Sabbaths'- other than the weekly Sabbath.

The animal yard statue has been around a lot longer than most people realize. Although the gardens of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians weren't exactly replete with detailed depictions of Meerkats, they did showcase sculptures of other animals. Sculptures of lions were found in many gardens but horses were probably the most popular animal to be immortalized in stone.
The horse is still admired for its combination of grace and speed but before the car was invented, this animal was vital for everything from farming to travel and war. Its noble bearing was captured by countless artists over the centuries and this tradition continues with sculptures such as the Majestic Mustang. The wild, unfettered nature of the mustang is captured in this dramatic statue as the horse rears up and batters the air with its forelegs.
Horses have been so revered that they have also been used to create mythical creatures. The Greeks combined the wings of an eagle and the beauty of a horse to come up with the Pegasus. This amazing mythical animal combines the best of both worlds to prance through the skies with amazing speed. A symbol of creativity, the Grand Pegasus Winged Horse will add a touch of magical beauty to every backyard.

It has been a few months since you have last seen Project Back to the Street. To recap the story, we embarked on a mission to convert a heavily modified '71 Camaro from a dedicated bracket-racing ride into a ground pounding, corner carving, street-legal hot rod. In order for a return to Main Street, the Camaro had to go back to school-the students at the Mercer County Technical School (Pennington, New Jersey) are handling the work, under the watchful eye of head instructor Bob Gonier.
Progress on the Camaro was hot and heavy for the first several months, but the relocation of the Super Chevy headquarters to Florida stopped forward motion this past summer. This month, we return to action and would like to refresh you on what we have accomplished to this point. Progress will resume next month as the students are revved up to tear back into our project car.
The trip back to the street has been a long one as the former race car was stripped down to a bare shell. This build-up is essentially a ground-up task, as if we purchased a bare shell. The good news was that the body is straight and we only had to replace the floors with new ones from Ground Up Restoration. Stripping the rest of the car was rather easy as the front-end was a three-piece fiberglass unit, which saves weight in a racing application, but was hardly street-worthy in our opinion. It was discarded and taking its place are new fenders, hood, nose and air dam, which we will cover in the near future. The interior and roll bar were gutted and cutout, as all new seats, dashboard, gauges, console, etc. will be employed. As you can tell by the illustration on page 86, the Camaro will enjoy a g-Machine appearance.
The drag racing-oriented suspension, front and aft, was removed and replaced with something a little more suited for the streets and corner carving. Super Chevy tapped Fat Man Fabrications for its Front Frame Stub kit. Gonier and his students unbolted the front subframe assembly, cleaned it up, added primer, and painted it black. The kit includes upper and lower tubular control arms, drop spindles, 12-inch four-piston Wilwood brakes, QA1 adjustable billet-aluminum coil-over shocks, and all the steering equipment to go along with the suspension and brakes. The front frame rides on Energy Suspension polyurethane body-bushings, giving the car a nice ride but keeps flex to a minimum when the driver gets aggressive.
Moving rearward, Fatman Fabrications came through its Triangulated Four-Bar rear suspension system. The guys at Fatman told us that Air Ride originally designed this suspension, but Fatman sells this setup for use with the less-complicated QA1 adjustable rear shocks. The four-bar setup is essentially a four-link rear suspension, although it doesn't look like the traditional four-link found in drag racing applications, where the bars are parallel. Instead, the Fatman/Air Ride suspension utilizes bolt-on chassis brackets (we welded ours) and the setup looks similar to what you'd find under something like a '78-83 Malibu. A Currie 9-inch was slung under the backside during the rear suspension installation. The iron housing came complete with 3.70 gears, 31-spline axles, and a limited-slip differential.

Inside the locker room: Troy PolamaluPosted by on December 6, 2012 – 3:00 pm
Where do you need to improve on defense?
We need to improve everywhere.
How did it feel being back out on the field?
It felt good. I felt good all game.
Were you on any type of snap count during the game?
I don't know if I was on a count. I think it was a better game plan going into the last game than it was going into the Philadelphia game when I injured myself. I'm just very happy to come out with a victory.
In what way was it better?
That I was limited in a way, in terms of repetitions and the game plan, and as far as practice was concerned throughout the week.
If you were limited earlier in the season, do you feel that this re-injury may not have happened?
I don't know. I don't like to deal in hypotheticals.
Was it worse the second time than the first time?
No, it was just a different muscle.
Are there ways that Chargers QB Philip Rivers is still dangerous, even though he said he is having a disappointing season?
We definitely know what he's capable of and I'm sure they're very disappointed in their record as we are with our record. We definitely know what they're capable of. We always play each other really well, no matter what the records are.
Since you were somewhat limited last game, were you playing more within the structure of the defense?
I just played. If [the big plays] come, they come.
How much will things change without CB Ike Taylor, and are you encouraged with what you saw from CB Cortez Allen last game?
The defensive backs and the coaches obviously know what they're capable of, Curtis [Brown] and Cortez. It's what we expected, the performance from them. To replace somebody like Ike, who I don't think has ever missed a game here, is going to be tough. It's going to be different for our defense.

Keisel didn't have to look far for mentorsPosted by on January 23, 2013 – 4:42 am
Athletes are often looked upon as role models for young children, but in some cases the athletes that kids look up to, teammates do as well.
That has been the case for defensive end Brett Keisel. During his first 10 seasons he had the perfect role model and mentor in teammate Aaron Smith, and he still looks at Smith in the same light even after Smith retired last year.
"When I first got here he was someone I looked up to," said Keisel. "He played the game the right way with pad level, technique. He wasn't a dirty player. He was someone who was down to earth and came to work and worked his tail off every day."
When hearing that Keisel viewed him as a mentor, Smith was taken aback. Smith always led by example, but he never tried to force his method of doing things on anyone.
"I am honored and a little shocked," said Smith. "I always had a way of doing things and you always hope that someone catches on to doing things that way, what I would consider the right way. I think he has done that and expanded on it even more.
"That is something professional athletes should always hold on to. You don't know whose life you will impact. I always just tried to lead by example. I always felt you would get more done by your actions than just by saying words. I am a big believer in that. It's nothing I was looking to do, I just believed there was a way to conduct myself and be an example, especially for the younger guys."
Keisel is one of several Steelers who recently shared the story of who his mentor is with the Mentoring Partnership of Southwestern Pennsylvania (MPSWPA) in celebration of January being National Mentoring Month. In addition to Aaron Smith, Keisel's uncle, Ben Smith, who coached a rival football team also served as a mentor.
"He was someone who was always very encouraging to me," said Keisel. "Every time we saw each other he helped me out with technique, with things off the field as far as being a good person and someone people could look up to. It meant a lot to me that even though we were rivals, he would help me out with the possibility that I could beat his team, which didn't happen. He was a great man and someone as I grew up I truly appreciated."
Keisel is grateful to both of his mentors, for his uncle for helping him along the way, and for Aaron Smith for providing an example that led to success with the Steelers.
"Since I got here I tried to be in his shadow," said Keisel. "I tried to do everything he did. It's got me 11 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, two Super Bowl rings, a Pro Bowl. I owe him a lot."

Aaron was impressive to watch. What a competitor, a player with heart, and one that gave it all every single snap. This guy will ALWAYS be one of the great Steelers. Players like Keisel and Smith dont come around often. Proud to see them in Black and Gold!
By Tina Smith on Jan 23, 2013 | Reply
I grew up in a town where you either loved or hated the Steelers. I was indifferent. Then, I married a Steeler fan and over years, began to silently cheer for them. Then, I got the bug. Now, I am totally in love with the Black and Gold. When I decided to buy a jersey, I didn't want one that everyone else had. So, I researched the players to find one whose number I could wear proudly. Having the last name Smith, I started with No. 91. That was it! I was convinced that he was exactly what I was looking for in a man who played football — a decent, Christian guy who just happened to be a darn good football player. I had to special order my jersey, but when I wear it to games or anywhere, I always get comments about it. Aaron Smith is an outstanding person and we are so lucky to have had him wearing our colors. His family is beautiful and I will continue to pray for him, his son and his family. Check out his testimony on YouTube. I'm not a groupie and I'm old enough to be his mother, but he will always be my favorite (No. 99 is close!). The Steelers are full of good, decent young men and that is why I am so happy to be a fan. We are taught not to be proud, but I don't know how else to describe what it's like to be a Steeler fan! Thank you Brett and Aaron! (And Troy, Heath, …)

UC Hastings Alumni at Left, Right, Center of Leland Yee Legal Scrum
San Francisco's federal courthouse, where State Sen. Leland Yee and 21 co-defendants face charges of corruption and gun trafficking.
For the past week, every political junkie in California has been riveted to the arrest and federal indictment of Democratic State Senator Leland Yee, charged with public corruption and gun trafficking.
The federal court in San Francisco was a mob scene of reporters March 26, all trying to take in the 137-page indictment and get a chance to see Yee's first court appearance, along with alleged Chinatown gangster Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow and 20 defendants.
At the center of the maelstrom are three UC Hastings alumni, each playing pivotal roles in the case. The prosecution team includes AUSA Susan Badger '86. Lee's first defense attorney was Paul DeMeester '90, before longtime attorney Jim Lassart substituted in for him April 2. Lassart has been an instructor at UC Hastings Trial and Advocacy Clinic. And it's all going down in the courtroom of federal Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins '95.
Susan Badger
Badger '86 is one of three Assistant U.S. Attorneys leading the case, along with William Frentzen and S. Waqar Hasib '04. Badger was recently named a California Lawyer of the Year by California Lawyer magazine for her work prosecuting corrupt law enforcement officers, including two Richmond police officers, former Contra Costa County Deputy Sheriff Stephen Tanabe, and the now-disbanded Central Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team.
At Yee's side that day and later handling questions on the courthouse steps was DeMeester '90. Reporters initially chased DeMeester down the hall for comment. After meeting with Yee, DeMeester began raising questions about the timing and course of the three-year-old FBI investigation, musing why it took three years to put the case together. DeMeester in particular challenged why the FBI shifted its focus from a cash-for-influence case to an investigation of alleged connections to international arms dealers.
Questions on FBI Investigation
"There's a question of whether the government felt it didn't have enough evidence on the campaign investigation, so it starts pushing on the arms trafficking," DeMeester told the Associated Press. As of April 1, Yee had yet to enter a plea to the charges.
Nathanael Cousins
And it all went down in the courtroom of U.S. Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins '95. Cousins was assigned early issues such as setting bond for Lee, Chow and others. The parties return to Cousins' courtroom April 8 for additional hearings, including requiring Lee to post real property as part of his $500,000 bond. Externs from UC Hastings working in Cousins' court had front-row seats for what many attorneys would be the case of a lifetime.
"UC Hastings produces great lawyers. On any side of any legal issue you are going to find a talented UC Hastings graduate," said Professor Rory Little, a former federal prosecutor who teaches Criminal Law and Constitutional Law. "UC Hastings has a deep bench of talented lawyers and judges in the city."
"Plenty to Worry About"
Little, a former federal prosecutor who teaches Criminal Law and Constitutional Law, has been providing commentary and memorable sound bites for
Rorry Little
media outlets around the state. He told Howard Mintz of the San Jose Mercury News, "It looks to me like he's [Yee] got plenty to worry about."
Little also appeared with Phil Matier on KTVU's Sunday morning news talk show, talking about the strength of the wiretap evidence against Lee. He also taped comments for KCBS radio and KRON 4 television.
"This is the kind of case you can really get excited about and sink your teeth into. It is high profile, with a lot of legal issues, and a ton of strategy with this many defendants and a lengthy investigation. In that sense, it is a lawyer's dream on all side," Little said.
"The UC Hastings reunion in this case is not finished," Little predicted. "The attendance list is not complete. Most defendants have not announced counsel yet. Stay tuned."
Since its founding in 1878, UC Hastings has benefited from the generosity of alumni and friends.Gifts make a critical difference and enhance the quality of the Hastings experience for today's students.
Alumni hosts sponsor and promote a wide variety of activities to strengthen ties between Hastings students, alumni and the school.
The UC Hastings' first Honors Gala was held on Friday, October 11, 2013 celebrating the accomplishments of Willie L. Brown Jr. '58, Simona Agnolucci '06, and Professor Roger C. Park in San Francisco!

Financial issues are the single largest barrier to students seeking a higher education.
Scholarships are how we help students benefit from the excellence that thrives at Kent State University Ashtabula. Whether you are an alumnus of Kent State University, know someone who is a current or past student, or simply value all the campus offers, your contribution goes well beyond a donation. It is how deserving students cross the threshold between a dream and an experience, and how a lifelong relationship of friendship and appreciation begins.
Kent State University at Ashtabula has been a valued educational resource and community partner for more than 50 years, and we invite you to become a partner in our mission to provide for the diverse educational and cultural needs of the community by establishing a scholarship. Whether you desire to establish a general scholarship or an endowed named fund to honor or remember a loved one, Kent State University at Ashtabula is here to help you establish a;
Need-Based Scholarship – A Kent State University education makes our students richer, intellectually and emotionally. While we try to keep our fees reasonable, the costs of tuition and books continue to rise. Nine out of ten students who attend Kent State University at Ashtabula need financial assistance. Private scholarship support enables us to help students who might otherwise be locked out of all that college offers.
Merit-Based Scholarship – For students whose accomplishments deserve recognition, these scholarships are generally awarded to students with either a high school or college GPA of 3.25 or higher and take part in extracurricular activities or community groups. Scholarships allow these high-achieving students to continue to learn, explore and become leaders.
Endowed Named Scholarship – these gifts are used to create scholarships in perpetuity. Funds may bear the donor's name or the name of a loved one as a lasting legacy. Individual funds are then awarded to students who match the donor's criteria, creating a powerful, enduring connection between giver and receiver.
We understand how perplexing all of this can be, and that you may have additional questions, but we're here to help. If none of these options sounds exactly right at this time we can establish a temporary fund and consult you at a future date to work out the details. Kent State University at Ashtabula understands the importance of scholarships and we look forward to working with you.

The origin of the concept of the week may be attributed to Genesis 1 and 2 in the Bible, which contains the creation account of the earth, animals, and man in six days, with the sabbath of rest on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2-4). Its existence in ancient cultures may be traced to a divine or spiritual origin for this institution, since there is no celestial explanation to account for it, such as exists with the day, the month, and the year.
Various sources point to the seven day week as having originated in ancient Babylonia or Sumer. It has been suggested that a seven day week might be much older. The seven day planetary week originated in Hellenistic Egypt.
The 1943 Universal Jewish Encyclopedia volume 10 page 482, edited by Isaac Landman under the article "Week", written by Simon Cohen, Director of Research, summarizes:
Meanwhile, the Roman Republic and then Empire, like the Etruscans, used a "market week" of eight days (known as the nundinal cycle). From around the 1st century CE, with the spread of Christianity, the Roman eight day week was replaced gradually by the seven day week.
The seven day weekly cycle is known to have remained unbroken in Europe for almost two millennia despite changes to the Alexandrian, Julian, and Gregorian calendars. The date of Easter Sunday can be traced back through numerous computistic tables to an Ethiopic copy of an early Alexandrian table beginning with the Easter of 311 CE as described by Otto Neugebauer in Ethiopic astronomy and computus. Only one Roman date with an associated day of the week exists from the first century and it agrees with the modern sequence, if properly interpreted. Jewish dates with a day of the week do not survive from this early period. In the case of the Jewish week, it had been in use for at least 1,000 years before its adoption by the Roman Empire.
The Jewish and Christian seven-day week is modeled on the biblical creation story, in which God created the universe in six days, then rested on the seventh.
Other theories speculate that the fixed seven-day period appeared due to evenly dividing a lunar month into quarters.
The seven-day week became established in both the West and East according to different paths:
The meaning of the name of the days of the week in Sanskrit, above, is equivalent to English names: e.g., "Shani-Vaar," where Shani = Saturn and Vaar = Day.
The earliest known reference in Chinese writings is attributed to Fan Ning, who lived in the late 4th century, while diffusions via India are documented with the writings of the Chinese Buddhist monk Yi Jing and the Ceylonese or Central Asian Buddhist monk Bu Kong of the 7th century. The Chinese transliteration of the planetary system was soon brought to Japan by the Japanese monk Kobo Daishi; surviving diaries of the Japanese statesman Fujiwara Michinaga show the seven day system in use in Heian Period Japan as early as 1007. In Japan, the seven day system was kept in use (for astrological purposes) until its promotion to a full-fledged (Western-style) calendrical basis during the Meiji era.
The Chinese use of the seven day week (and thus Korean, Japanese, Tibetan, and Vietnamese use) traces back to the 600s CE. The 28 stars were arranged in order of sun, moon, fire, water, wood, gold, earth, and every 7 days were called "qi-yao". The days were assigned to each of the luminaries, but the week did not affect social life or the official calendar. The law in the Han Dynasty required officials of the empire to rest every 5 days, called "mu", while it was changed into 10 days in the Tang Dynasty, called "huan" or xún (旬). With months being almost 3 weeks long (alternating 29 and 30 days) the weeks were labelled shàng xún (上旬), zhōng xún (中旬), and xià xún (下旬) which mean roughly "upper", "middle" and "lower" week. The 7 days "week" in ancient China is mostly kept in astrological purposes and cited in several Buddhist texts until the Jesuits reintroduced the concept in the 16th century. Thus the 19th century Japanese, when adopting the seven day western week, took their own astrological week with names for the days of the week that corresponded to the English names (and in fact were better preservations of the original Babylonian concepts, the English day names having been conflated with gods from Germanic mythology).
The weekly cycle runs concurrently with regular calendar cycles. The weekly cycle is not based on any astronomical phenomena. Besides being of religious significance, it also is convenient in commercial and social contexts. Some novel calendars have been designed which synchronise the weeks and years by adding a leap week or weekless days to the calendar. The advantage of these calendar systems is that each year a given date always falls on the same day of the week. For example, the proposed World Calendar has 52 weeks and one or two extra weekless days each year, which do not count in the weekly cycles. The short-lived 18th century French Revolutionary Calendar had 36 weeks of 10 days and five or six extra weekless days. On the other hand, the former Icelandic calendar had years of 52 or 53 weeks. Instead of adding extra weekless days, the number of weeks in the calendar year varied. An early Norse calendar, from the beginning of the Viking Age, had five day weeks, called fimmts, arranged in 12 months of six fimmts each, with five ceremonial days not part of any month. The Hermetic Lunar Week Calendar uses the lunar week which is a quarter of a lunation and has 6, 7, 8 or 9 days (average 7.382647 days).
In Jewish and Christian tradition, the first day of the week is Sunday. Both the Hebrew and Ecclesiastical Latin languages number most of the days of the week. In Hebrew, Sunday through Friday are numbered one through six, while in Ecclesiastical Latin, Monday through Friday are numbered the second through the sixth days of the week (feria). For Christians and Jews, Sunday remains the first day of the week. Most, though not all, business and social calendars in North America mark Sunday as the first day of the week.
In most of Europe, and some other countries, Monday is considered to be the first day of the week and is literally named as such in languages such as Mandarin (pinyin Xīngqí Yī, literally means Weekday One) and Lithuanian (pirmadienis - means First Day).
The ISO prescribes Monday as the first day of the week with ISO 8601 for software date formats.
The seven-day workweek is generally composed of five working days ("weekdays") and two non-working days (the "weekend"), though which days of the week are which varies from country to country. Which day of the week is the "first" day also varies, even among countries that share the same weekend days.
In a Gregorian mean year there are exactly 365.2425 days, and thus exactly 52.1775 weeks (unlike the Julian year of 365.25 days, which does not contain a number of weeks represented by a finite decimal expansion). There are exactly 20871 weeks in 400 Gregorian years, so 10 April 1605 was a Sunday just like 10 April 2005.
A system of Dominical letters has been used to determine the day of week in the Gregorian or the Julian calendar.
ISO 8601 includes the ISO week date system, a numbering system for weeks – each week begins on a Monday and is associated with the year that contains that week's Thursday (so that if a year starts in a long weekend Friday–Sunday, week number one of the year will start after that). For example, week 1 of 2004 (2004W01) ran from Monday 29 December 2003 to Sunday, 4 January 2004, because its Thursday was 1 January 2004, whereas week 1 of 2005 (2005W01) ran from Monday 3 January 2005 to Sunday 9 January 2005, because its Thursday was 6 January 2005 and so the first Thursday of 2005. The highest week number in a year may be 52 or 53 (it was 53 for year 2004).
The numbering system in different countries may deviate from the international ISO standard. There are at least six possibilities:
|First day of week
|First week of year contains
|Weeks assigned twice
|Used by/in
|1 January,
|1st Sunday,
|1–7 days of year
|4 January,
|1st Thursday,
|4–7 days of year
|Most of Europe ISO 8601(1988), European Norm EN 28601 (1992)
|7 January,
|1st Monday,
|7 days of year
|1 January,
|1st Tuesday,
|1–7 days of year
|1 January,
|1st Friday,
|1–7 days of year
|1 January,
|1st Saturday,
|1–7 days of year
Although this simple primitive conception gave place in time, as feasts were introduced and multiplied, to an annual calendar, the week always retained its importance; this is particularly seen in the Divine Office in the hebdomadal division of the Psalter for recitation. Amalarius preserves for us the particulars of the arrangement accepted in the chapel royal at Aachen in 802 CE by which the whole Psalter was recited in the course of each week. In its broader features the division was identical with that theoretically imposed by the Roman Breviary until the recent publication of the Apostolic Constitution "Divine afflatu" on 1 Nov., 1911 CE. Moreover, it appears from Amalarius that the Carlovingian arrangement was in substance the same as that already accepted by the Roman Church. Already in the sixth century, St. Benedict had clearly laid down the principle that the entire Psalter was to be recited at least once in the week; indeed a similar arrangement was attributed to Pope St. Damasus. The consecration of particular days of the week to particular subjects of devotion is also officially recognized by the special Office of the Blessed Virgin on the Saturday, by the Friday Masses of the Passion during Lent and by the arrangement of Votive Offices for special week days approved by Pope Leo XIII. For a long time in the early Middle Ages, Thursday was regarded in the West as a sort of lesser feast or Sunday, probably because it was the day of the week on which the Ascension fell (cf. Bede, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, IV, 25). Again the Breviary approved after the Council of Trent left certain devotion accretions to the Office, e.g. the Office for the Dead, Gradual Psalms, etc, to be said once a week, particularly on the Mondays of Advent and Lent.

Baseball Cleats
Athletes use cleats for almost every sport that is played on grass. Each sport's cleats are uniquely specified for the purpose of each sport. Baseball cleats come in different types including metal baseball cleats and molded baseball cleats. There are other type of baseball shoes like baseball turf shoes.
Metal Baseball Cleats
Metal cleats offer the most traction because the cleat is thinner allowing it to dig into the ground. Metal cleats can be worn on dirt and grass but not off the field. In some leagues metal cleats aren't allowed because they pose a danger to players involved in sliding plays.
Molded Baseball Cleats
Molded cleats are usually bought as kid's baseball cleats. The lower priced molded cleats are designed for younger players that quickly outgrow their cleats and do not need to have them for a long time. The youth baseball cleats are higher priced molded cleats made of a stiffer rubberized plastic that offer the most traction to a player before going to a metal cleat. Molded baseball cleats are more of a comfortable cleated shoe, because the cleats are spread out on the pressure points of the foot.
Turf Baseball Shoes
Baseball turf shoes are the training shoe that players wear when practicing or when they need more comfort and less performance. These are the shoes that you switch to when you are walking off the field. The reasons for this is because turf shoes are much more comfortable and do not ruin turf training facilities. Baseball turf shoes provide more traction than regular shoes.

This embrocation goes on easily, provides good protection and warmth in 60 to 75° temperatures. It has an anagreeable smell and is great leg preparation, warming my muscles and providing protection from the elements.

Just getting back into training after a 10 year hiatus so this oil is great on the quads before rides and on the knees on those cold mornings. Being in the 55+ category comes with lots of aches and pains so my wife has become very familiar with it as I regularly ask her to massage my neck after cold rides. All thumbs up on the product, it's got a light heating to it, and a nice fragrance possibly eucalyptus, just wish I had received the second bottle. When I ordered it the add stated buy one get one free, well I bought one and got one. I'd love to try the hotter #2 oil, may order it sometime in the future. George

The USU Interactive Campus Map is built using Google Maps API. The current map is a beta release. Most functions are available and this is why it is now availble to the public. However, some functions will be developed in the future and more offices/locations will be added. The map has been tested in the current version of IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. If you are experiencing problems with the map, please contact Public Relations & Marketing.
Rollover the map with your mouse to see the default Google Map tools. On the top left, you have the choice to toggle the view between the campus map overlay, the Google Map road view, or the Google Map satellite view. By default, the map loads with the campus map overlay.
To move the map, click and hold your left mouse button and drag in the direction you'd like to view. You can also open the mini map at the bottom right corner and drag the blue box with your mouse.
To zoom, you can use the tool in the top left corner of the map or simply use the wheel on your mouse. Note that the campus map overlay is only available at the last five levels of zoom.
To open building details, you can simply click on the building on the map. The browsing tools are located on the left of the map (buildings, offices, housing, etc...). Simply click on these links to reveal the different tools. You can browse the building list by name or by building code. You can browse offices by name the same way. Note that if you open a building detail on the map, the window will contain a list of offices/departments located in the selected building. You can then click on that list to access more details about the office/department.
The left tools also provide a list of locations organized by groups such as the Aggie Shuttle routes, the parking lots, etc... Use the list to see details or check the checkbox to reveal the whole group at once.
If the map gets too crowded with markers, use the button located above the map on the right to "clear the map." Note also that depending on your computer, viewing the map may become slower if too many markers are open at the same time. In this case, just "clear the map" with the same button.
The "search map" tab provides an easy way to find a building, an office, or a place by entering a keyword in the search field. Soon we will add a way to search by building code.
There is not currently any way to directly print the map. Google Map doesn't provide that function yet but we hope to have something available in the near future. For the time being, you can download and print different PDF maps. Click on the "Download Maps" tab to see a list of available downloads.
Offices and departments can add a link from their website (on their contact page for example) to the map to show visitors they are located. First open the popup window of the location on the map. At the bottom, click on the link "Link to this location". When the page has refreshed, Copy/Paste the entire URL in your browser and use it as an hyperlink to the location you clicked on. You can also bookmark this new URL.

Landlord defends complex sued by city
Oceanside A Crown Heights property manager who has been sued by the city of Oceanside for allegedly violating building codes said he's making many of the improvements the city has required to his sprawling apartment complex, but is balking at others because he sees no need for them.
Donald Swanson said the lawsuit has wrongly characterized his complex at 415 Grant Street as a hub of criminal activity and in serious disrepair.
"To read it, I'm some slumlord that hasn't spent a penny on the property," Swanson said. "The city attorney is taking someone who is trying to make a positive change in the community and they're suing him."
City Attorney John Mullen said the lawsuit and crime statistics speak for themselves and declined to discuss the city's problems with the complex or Swanson's objections.
"We're going to address that in court. I'm not going to say any more publicly," Mullen said. "The statistics speak for themselves. There's 350 (police) calls for service in the past year since he's had it."
Crown Heights is bounded by Mission Avenue to the north, Interstate 5 to the east, Missouri Street to the south and Horne Street to the west.
Since March, there have been four shootings, one deadly, and a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death Jan. 29 at the corner of Center Avenue and Division Street.
Swanson's apartment complex is at the center of the neighborhood, with eight two-story apartment buildings and two parking lots that stretch from Grant Street to Weitzel Street.
All but one of the 84 apartments have one bedroom and one bathroom and most rent for $875 a month, Swanson said.
Swanson said that he's had a lease on the property, known as Villa Del Rey, since last March and has spent around $100,000 on repairs.
He said he plans to buy Villa Del Rey and that under the terms of the lease he's responsible for its maintenance and making any repairs.
Swanson owns Swanson Real Estate Inc. in San Clemente. He said M&L Financial Company in Los Angeles owns the Grant Street apartment complex.
In a lawsuit filed against Swanson and M&L Financial Feb. 7, the city said the complex has been a haven for street gangs and a source of some of the crime and violence that have plagued Crown Heights.
Since April 2012, code enforcement officials have targeted the complex. During a June check, inspectors found broken smoke detectors, cockroach and mice infestation, leaks, clogged drains, faulty wiring, broken windows and deteriorated flooring and cabinets, according to the lawsuit.
The city, in its lawsuit, said the Grant Street apartment complex "has been a haven for rampant criminal activity and criminal gang activity."
In 2012, police responded to 350 calls for service at the complex, according to the lawsuit.
Swanson said many of those calls were not for crimes committed on his property and were part of a police investigation into crimes that happened elsewhere.
Standing on Grant Street in front of the apartments, Swanson said the city needs to do more for the community.

text: I live in Seattle which is home of the Seattle Seahawks who lost to the Patriots and Tom Brady this last year. I am not writing this blog as a homer or saying that the Pat's should lose the Super Bowl for deflating balls but I will say Tom is cheater. They won those games and I don't think you can take anyway away from that but what people will say until the day he is gone is that Brady and the Pat's are cheats. I understand wanting a competitive edge and I don't even really know if it is that big of deal but when they have won Super Bowl's they have cheated. Frankly the worst thing about it all is even I am talking about it. This is the world we live in these days and people do shady things to get ahead and advance in all work places. Look if you had a pill that made me funnier and I cold cash in I would take it. I think most people would and professional sports is highly competitive arena. At the end of the day both sides are right, he is cheater and a great quarterback/super bowl champ.

Unetanah Tokef
A religious poem that is meant to strike fear in us.
By Rabbi Dr. Reuven Hammer
We Also Recommend
Though this article mentions Rosh Hashanah specifically, it should be noted that the Unetanah Tokef is also part of the Yom Kippur liturgy. This article is excerpted from Entering the High Holy Days. Reprinted with permission from the Jewish Publication Society.
On both days [of Rosh Hashanah], the magnificent Unetanah tokef (we shall ascribe holiness to this day) is chanted prior to the Kedushah. Although there are popular legends concerning the origin of this piyyut, we do not know who wrote it. What is certain is that the poet was extremely gifted. The structure of the poem and its language suggest that it was composed during the Byzantine period.
The concepts on which it is based come from Jewish apocalyptic literature and parallel Christian writings based on similar sources, the most famous of which is the Dies irae (day of wrath)-‑found in the requiem mass-‑which offers a vivid description of the day of judgment for all humankind. In Unetanah tokef, however, the subject is not the final judgment but the much more immediate, yearly day of judgment–Rosh Hashanah. The text of this piyyut follows.
We shall ascribe holiness to this day.
For it is awesome and terrible.
Your kingship is exalted upon it.
Your throne is established in mercy.
You are enthroned upon it in truth.
In truth You are the judge,
The exhorter, the all‑knowing, the witness,
He who inscribes and seals,
Remembering all that is forgotten.
You open the book of remembrance
Which proclaims itself,
And the seal of each person is there.
The great shofar is sounded,
A still small voice is heard.
The angels are dismayed,
They are seized by fear and trembling
As they proclaim: Behold the Day of Judgment!
For all the hosts of heaven are brought for judgment.
They shall not be guiltless in Your eyes
And all creatures shall parade before You as a troop.
As a shepherd herds his flock,
Causing his sheep to pass beneath his staff,
So do You cause to pass, count, and record,
Visiting the souls of all living,

Search over 83,900 real estate listings for sale in the metro Atlanta area
Choosing a home site is as much a matter of personal preference as is choosing an architectural style or a floor plan.
A nature lover might be captivated by a sloping lot with a boggy pond that would be unsuitable for a family with small children. A home owner with limited mobility might want an absolutely flat property, while a family with teenagers may just need enough flat space for a basketball court.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage can help homebuyers identify the home site that is right for them.
The Basics
There are some basics in site selection, which are a matter of necessity and not personal preference. A Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage professional can help the homebuyer acquire the information they need to make a wise choice about their home site.
The municipality in which the home site is located will determine the local property tax, as well as the public services, schools, and utilities that are available. These can vary dramatically from town to town.
The Choices
The Topography
A sloped lot offers the possibility of walkout lower levels, interesting decking and lovely views. Nature lovers often find great appeal in a living room deck at treetop level. Homes built on lots sloping to the back often appear quite small from the street, offering a delightful surprise as visitors come upon living spaces that expand to the rear and lower levels of the home. Lots sloping to the front offer an impressive setting for a house.
Flat lots are often the choice for growing families who want space to accommodate basketball courts, skateboarding and soccer nets. A retiree might prefer a flat home site with no stairs between the garage and house. Special features such as a swimming pool, stable and paddock, or tennis court require large, flat, well-drained areas and must meet specific zoning requirements.
The Orientation
As most homes in our communities face the street, the orientation of a home site has a significant influence on the design of the house. Orientation also influences energy utilization. Large lots outside of developed areas offer more flexibility in locating the home on the property to suit the preferences of the home owner.
The Size
A small piece of property is easier and less costly to maintain and generally offers the security of nearby neighbors. A larger lot provides privacy and space for family interests, such as gardens or athletic courts. The size of the lot also influences the size of the house, with larger homes generally built on larger lots.
The Location
Most available land is located in less-developed areas, as towns grow and new roads make commuting possible. Land generally becomes less expensive the further it is from developed areas and employment centers, allowing home owners to have more property and larger homes than they could afford in town.
With the shortage of buildable land in the greater metropolitan areas, home builders are increasingly turning to developed communities for building sites. Large properties are subdivided. Small, rundown homes are torn down, and a new home built. These lots have the advantages of having utilities already in place and are the ideal choice for those who want to live in an established community, but enjoy the advantages of a newly constructed home.
Each home site has its unique advantages and disadvantages, and choosing the right one will have a significant impact on a home's appearance and comfort. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage professionals have the expertise to help a client choose the right home site or the home of their dreams.
Looking at a Floor Plan
The floor plan, or how the rooms are arranged, is the most important aspect of the livability of a house. Insulation or central air or another bathroom can always be added, but if the basic floor plan doesn't meet the homebuyer's needs, they won't enjoy the house as much as they should. Here's a checklist to help remember what to consider when evaluating a floor plan.
The overall floor plan:
Every household has a good deal of stuff that needs to be stored. Is there a place to put:

Erica Landon
Sommelier, Ten 01
Erica Landon wants you to fall in love—with wine, that is. And as the sommelier for Pearl District culinary hot spot Ten 01, she has 2,000 chances—or bottles, rather—to get it right. But unlike most sommeliers in town, many of whom fall into the white-gloved, know-it-all variety, Landon is refreshingly approachable. "The most important thing about my job," she explains, "is not trying to influence people with my opinion all the time, but listening to what they want." Make no mistake, though: Landon, who at just 31 has already earned a diploma from the International Sommelier Guild and a pin from the Master Court of Sommeliers, knows her stuff.

What's the go with lights?
Again, whilst riding home tonight I get a yell " points your lights down" or words to that effect.Now I have my Expilon 150 lumen ( x2) aimed so I can see about 3m ahead.I do this so I can see where I'm going.Now I realise theyre bright- thats why I bought them- never mind the 900 lumen jobbies some have.I get the point- theyre blinding if you look directly at them, and thence dangerous.I could point them so they dont dazzle oncoming riders/cars but then I cant see well enough.
Oh, thanks to the do gooders who yell abuse.Given the number of ill aimed lights, you must get hoarse.
Re: What's the go with lights?
So, you'd think those inconsiderate "do gooders" would just turn the other cheek rather than complain about being dazzled by your lights. Who do they think they are? After all it only matters that you can see where you are going, so stuff everyone else.

Re: What's the go with lights?
If you have them aimed so the hotspot projects 3m in front and people are complaining then you either have enormous spread on those lights or you have struck a whinger who just wantts to complain.
Why not stand your bike up somehow and walk away, turning around every now and then to see things from the other blokes viewpoint, it may help you strike a balance.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: What's the go with lights?
Consider getting a B&M Ixon IQ. Notice the beam only extends up a certain height - it has a horizon to avoid this dazzle of other riders
These lights are designed with high quality optics to maximize the light on the road ahead of you and avoid dazzling others. A worthwhile investment.

Re: What's the go with lights?
150 lumens is not much light, even with 2 of them, and aimed the way you describe i would suggest the person who yelled at you needs to get a life. My usual light is 250 lumens and aimed like yours it is not excessive by any means, though like yours if you look straight into it, it is very very bright.

Re: What's the go with lights?
Gee. In response to your first question: yes. I don't yell abuse at any of those dazzling me nor the ninjas who frequent the roads/paths I do. Clearly it's a compromise between me
seeing where I'm going and them looking at my lights. Sorry I'm for self preservation. I got home and parked my bike and re aimed them , so should be a bit better. I'll look into those lights too- thanks for the tip.
Re: What's the go with lights?
Just don't expect the complaints to stop. I've got B&Ms and they're great, but I still get complaints from randoms on bikepaths. Their problem...
Re: What's the go with lights?
You are absolutely right, RonK. it matters that I can see where I'm going when I ride and I don't really give a toss about anyone else. They do what they have to do.
When I see bright lights coming towards me I divert my focus just a bit so I'm not looking directly into them. My Ay-Ups, by the way, are set so that the hot spot is about 5 metres in front of the bike.
I had one bad "off" because of poor lights and I can tell you right now, brother, I won't have another one.

Re: What's the go with lights?
As long as we aim carefully. There may be no equivalent law to car 'high beaming' but if we flash someone coming the other way, *they* can't see where they're riding. It's not just courtesy, it's about their safety too!
Re: What's the go with lights?
Bright lights approaching need not be a problem. Like I said, it is simply a matter of not looking directly at them. Too many sooks about, I reckon.

Re: What's the go with lights?
I got a moon X power (1500 lumen) for the front and also a saxon capped ayup for the back ( also have a few strategically placed fibre flares of various colours so I look quite the christmas tree at night time ... but at least I know that if anyone hits me it will be done out of maliciousness as opposed to not being able to see me )
I have a mound of insulation tape on the bar where I mount the moon power so that it is slightly off side (the result is that it sends the beam slightly to the left ... as opposed directly into traffic front on). It also has different brightness settings (down to 300 lumens and a flashing 1000 lumen) so you can adjust it to environments.
The ayups (560 + 40% = 784 lumen?) can be swiveled according to needs - at night time I am especially mindful to have them facing the ground since they could probably do retinal damage at night time
That said, I think (having a job that requires I drive a vehicle for at least 8 hours a day) its the nature of commuter traffic that its mainly about what sort of day a person is having. If its just one or two isolated incidents don't worry about it. If you see oncoming traffic constantly averting their face or screwing up their eyes in irritation (particularly other cyclists) then you may have cause for thought.
Also it pays to consider the environment you are riding through. If there is a lot of ambient light (as per your typical city night scene) personally I think you would have to try really hard to dazzle with a mere 150 lumens.
Also you could possible buy yourself a bit more visibility without dazzling by mounting the light a bit lower to the ground (like say above the front wheel instead of the handlebars)
Re: What's the go with lights?
GM, you cannot see in front of yourself when caught in the glare of some riders. And some add to the fun with helmet mounts!
I've been both a victim and the transgressor ... I've currently got a Bikeray IV on the bars ... 1500 nominal lumens.
Re: What's the go with lights?
Good man, CW! I'm sure come Australia Day there'll be a medal in the mail!
The Light and Motion Urban 500s actually let you swivel them on their tool-less rubber mount to do exactly that.
Re: What's the go with lights?
As il padrone pointed out, properly designed lights such as the B&M Ixon IQ are designed very much like car head lights.
Thus, they work pretty much like a car headlight set on low beam. That is they don't dazzle other vehicles and pedestrians etc.
Take a look at your typical bicycle light. It is essentially the same design as a torch (flashlight to US people). Most non-German lights are the same. It has a circular pattern. That is why when you are riding along on the flashing setting, you see the reflective street signs flashing from about 300m away.
This is the light that is annoying other people.
Given that there is a huge number of SMIDSY incidents and accidents and given that cyclists are very vulnerable road users, I think bright LED lights are great on the road. Perhaps we should try and dim them down a bit for the bike/pedestrian paths.

Re: What's the go with lights?
I'm telling you, you have to look away from some riders on shared paths! And that's not a good thing. For a couple of seconds, glass or a pothole could have their wicked way with you.
I may just ride towards you, with the additional 900 lumen Bikeray 2 on the helmet for good measure!
Re: What's the go with lights?
Yeah, knock yourself out, I'll probably manage. I used to do night time runs up and down the Hume between Wagga and Canberra. You reckon your lights are brighter than a full complement of retina-wreckers on your average semi?
Too many sooks.

Re: What's the go with lights?
This is the kind of response that sometimes makes hanging out here unpleasant. I am a bit surprised as it seems a bit out of character for gm.
I do find it disconcerting sometimes when an oncoming cyclist has bright lights that shine directly into my eyes. Calling people a sook, is not at all helpful. The vision of my path is essentially non-existent for a short space of time and as result I can sometimes get the wobbles. It can also make it hard to judge the location of the rider as they approach. I have also ridden busy highways with semis, but find the oncoming cyclist scenario far more offputting, possibly because of the close proximity, the unpredictable behaviour of some cyclists, the focussed beam of the lights being used. I don't say anything to the other cyclists at the time, as I understand their desire to have bright lights, but I do wish people would be a bit more considerate and direct their lights lower.
To the OP, it might well be worth testing out how your lights look as you approach your bike as was earlier suggested. You might find you are able to find a better compromise on the positioning, or instead that the person who gave you a hard time was just being unreasonable.
Re: What's the go with lights?
I would look for consideration and compromise.
I purposely adjust my light so that it is angled down to avoid blinding other cyclists and cars while I still see enough of the road. It would be nicer to point it up more and see further however I have the "do unto others" mentality.
Other cyclists with dazzling lights are annoying when it is pitch black, you really can't see much. If they are climing a hill at 10 - 15kmh, they don't really need to see 500 metres.
The good news is that I find most cyclists are considerate.

Re: What's the go with lights?
As others have said, it really does come down to the design of the light. You can have most of them pointed 3-5m in front of you and they will still be blinding motorists.
The problem is not just the time you loose averting your gaze but also the time it takes to recover your 'night vision' as it were. I've coped a blinding a couple of times from some really powerful bike lights and really puts you off.
It's a case of the law needing to catch up with the technology as bike lights now seem to be as bright as car lights. They need to regulate the beam spread of bike lights in the same way as car and motorbikes.
Would we be happy if car lights were allowed to have a beam spread the same as ours?
Re: What's the go with lights?
Agreed, newie, along with a psychology of "It happened to me, so I can do it to others".
In a car, high beaming is illegal, on bikes, it's antisocial at best!
Re: What's the go with lights?
Sorry, I'm siding wth GM on this one. I do the right thing with where I aim my lights and I still get whinged at. I find it frustrating.
A bike is a vehicle just like a car. If you're relying on "don't hit me" blinkies and you can't see unlit obstacles or where to go properly without a full moon or street lights, you've made a decision to go without adequate lights, period. That is your problem, not mine.
So criticism of me for doing what I must to manage my own safety is unlikely to be met with sympathy. You'll be told to HTFU and start pulling your own weight.
If you had decent lights of your own you'd be fine. So get some.
By the way, Ay Ups and the like still only put out a fraction of the power of low beam car headlights.
Re: What's the go with lights?
Agree, but since bike lights are a bolt-on and not a factory supplied item permanently connected to the bike it won't be that simple. MTB lights with a wider spread will still be available and many will still choose these. Policing on off-road bike tracks is almost non-existent at night, so unlikely to change cyclists' behavior.
One set of 2010 Ay Ups is a bit less bright than a single car headlight. But car headlights are shaped which makes a big difference IMO.

Re: What's the go with lights?
I think that's all that's being asked, Trailgumby.
Unwarranted abuse is part of the deal of being a cyclist, as you well know!
Re: What's the go with lights?
What he said. And I'm siding with me too.
And when you nosedive into the shrubbery one night and rip yourself open because your lights were inadequate come and ask me where I got my Ay-Ups from.

Midwest Living Review
You can tour all of the museum, including the McKinley Gallery (a long hall packed with McKinley furniture and artifacts) on your own, but guided tours are available at no additional cost (check with the ticket office when you arrive). This is the preferred way to see the museum, especially if you're lucky enough to have Carl Patton for your guide. Patton is a goofy fellow: He's not as polished as your typical tour guide but his vast knowledge of McKinley trivia is incredible and his enthusiasm for the museum's collection is practically contagious. You'll want him with you to recap McKinley's career and point out the juciest artifacts, like a 3-D picture of Ida McKinley on a really bad hair day. There's more to this museum than just McKinley. You can't leave without a visit to the Street of Shops—a life-size diorama of a 19th-century Midwestern town. It's a blast to wander (except for some creepy mannequins in the doctor's office), and there's a super-cool model train exhibit near the back that will entrance even the most bored museumgoer. Don't forget to try the firepole. You can easily spend a couple of hours here, especially if you have little ones with you. Pictures are allowed but flashes aren't. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for children (2 and under are free) and $7 for seniors.
On the grounds is a domed mausoleum that looks like it belongs n the National Mall. Inside, President McKinley, his wife and two young daughters are buried. You'll have to climb 108 steps (or find someone to show you the elevator) to reach the mausoleum. Once there, you're pretty much on your own. It's easy enough to find the president's sarcophagus and to read the biographical information included on plaques throughout the monument, but there are lots of architectural and symbolic details about the memorial that can go unnoticed (ask for a pamphlet in the ticket area before making the ascent so you don't miss anything). While exploring, make sure to look up; the stained-glass rose window at the top of the dome is beautiful. Pictures are allowed in the memorial (although there's not much to photograph). McKinley's daughters are entombed in the back wall; look for stones engraved with their information. You're not likely to learn much new information here, but it's right next door to the museum and skipping it seems silly. If nothing else, climb those steps for a view of the park. Admission to the monument is free.

Can someone post the mockup from this morning's meeting?
I'm also wondering, since mockups for the double bar navigation weren't created yet, if the group is going straight to coding with those or if mockups will be created first? And if so, can they be posted before surveying/testing is done?
Thanks for making this process open to everyone and for posting notes on here about the process.
