Chuck Wing, Deseret Morning News
SAN DIEGO Call off the search party. BYU's offense, reported missing in action most of this season, is alive and kicking not to mention passing and running after all.
It was found Saturday night at a stadium the Cougars helped make famous for high-scoring, thrilling shootouts. BYU, which began the week with one of the most anemic offenses in the country (having scored 34 points in its last three games), erupted against San Diego State and earned a wild 44-36 victory.
Who saw this coming?
Strangely enough, the Cougars' offensive fireworks came against the Aztecs' highly touted "Dark Side" defense, which entered the game ranked No. 4 in the nation in total defense. In the end, BYU rolled up a season-high in total offense with 418 yards. Running back Rey Brathwaite gained 144 yards, including a 95-yard touchdown, on 19 carries while quarterback John Beck completed 17 of 26 passes for 180 yards and two TDs.
Go figure. Apparently, it took a meeting with "The Dark Side" for the Cougar offense to see the light finally.
Not that the Cougars solved all their problems in one night, as they did lose three fumbles. But it was a very encouraging sign.
BYU (3-3, 2-1) and SDSU (3-3, 0-1) produced an old-fashioned barn-burner in front of a crowd of 31,137 at Qualcomm Stadium, reminiscent of the types of games these two teams used to stage on a regular basis during their days as members of the Western Athletic Conference.
It sure seemed like old times with offenses scoring at will at times and defenses looking clueless at times. Still, the defenses did combine to score three touchdowns of their own.
The Cougars desperately needed a victory and they got it, halting their two-game losing streak.
All week in practice, coach Gary Crowton stressed the importance of finishing drives, and his team obliged. All week, the Cougars talked about having a break-out game. They delivered.
Still, BYU opened the game in inauspicious fashion when, on the second play from scrimmage, Beck fumbled the ball. It was scooped up off the turf by Brook Miller, who rumbled 44 yards for a touchdown, just 54 seconds into the contest.
The Cougars got on the scoreboard with 3:56 remaining in the first quarter when Beck ran in for a four-yard TD, marking their first rushing touchdown in 30 quarters, dating back to last season. It was also the first rushing TD allowed by San Diego State this year.
On the first play of the Aztecs' next possession, quarterback Adam Hall threw a 70-yard touchdown strike to wideout Jeff Webb.
During practice this week, defensive coordinator Bronco Mendenhall focused on slowing down freshman running back Lynell Hamilton, who was averaging 119 yards per outing. He finished with 74 yards on 22 carries.
While the Cougars did a good job against Hamilton, they couldn't say the same about SDSU's passing game. Webb lit up the BYU secondary, racking up 253 yards on 10 catches and scoring three touchdowns.
The second quarter was zany. By the time it was over, the Cougars had put up 24 points in the period. Keep in mind that entering the night, BYU had scored 12 points in second quarters all season.
The Cougars' scoring spree began with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Beck to running back Fahu Tahi. It was Tahi's first TD of the season and his first in four years.
Two series later, BYU found itself on its own five-yard line. On first down, Beck handed off to Brathwaite, who sprinted 95 yards for a touchdown, setting a school record. That gave the Cougars a 21-14 advantage.
Webb caught his second TD, a 24-yarder, to tie the score, but BYU answered with a 39-yard field goal by Matt Payne to reclaim the lead, 24-21.

Biden's faulty lifeguard logic
"As the president said, if your actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking," Vice President Joe Biden declared on Wednesday as he previewed what his commission on gun violence might actually do.
"There are executive orders, there's executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the Cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required."
Biden insisted that it is a moral imperative for the White House to do something: "It's critically important that we act."
Most of the attention, understandably, is on Biden's suggestion that the president will consider using executive orders to do things he couldn't possibly accomplish legislatively. The imperial presidency is always troubling, but when it rubs up against the Bill of Rights it is especially so.
But what I find to be arguably the most disturbing — and definitely the most annoying — part of Biden's remarks is this nonsense about if it saves only one life, the White House's actions would be worth it.
Maybe it's because I wrote a whole book on the way phrases like "if it saves only one life, it's worth it" distort our politics, but whenever I hear such things the hairs on the back of my neck go up.
The notion that any government action is justified if saves even a single life is malarkey, to borrow one of Mr. Biden's favorite terms. Worse than that, it's dangerous malarkey.
Let's start with the malarkey part. The federal government could ban cars, fatty foods, ladders, plastic buckets, window blinds or Lego pieces small enough to choke on and save far more than just one life. Is it imperative the government do any of that? It's a tragedy when people die in car accidents (roughly 35,000 fatalities per year), or when kids drown in plastic buckets (it happens an estimated 10 to 40 times a year), or when people die falling off ladders (about 300 per year). Would a law that prevents those deaths be worth it, no matter the cost?
Now one obvious response to this sort of argument ad absurdum is to say, "We don't have to ban buckets or cars to reduce the number of deaths. We can simply regulate them." And that's true.
Indeed, that's the point. But when we regulate things, we take into account things other than the singular consideration about saving lives. Banning cars would cost the economy trillions — and also probably cost lives in various unintended ways. So we regulate them with speed limits, seat belt requirements, etc. And even here we accept a certain number of preventable deaths every year. Regulators don't set the speed limit at five miles per hour, nor do they make highway guardrails 50 feet high.
Every serious student of public policy — starting with Joe Biden and Barack Obama — knows this to be true. Some just choose to pretend as if it isn't true in order to push through their preferred policies.
The idea that the government can regulate or ban its way into a world where there are no tragedies, no premature deaths, is quite simply ridiculous. But that is precisely the assumption behind phrases like "if only one life is saved, it's worth it."
Which brings us to the dangerous part. Pay attention to what Biden is saying. The important thing is for government to act, not for the government to act wisely.
And that's the real problem with this kind of rhetoric. Not only does it establish a ridiculously low standard for what justifies government action — indeed, action itself becomes its own justification — but it also sets the expectation that the government is there to prevent bad things from happening.
Biden has a warrant to investigate the role not just of gun laws but also video games, movies, mental health policies and lord knows what else in order to make sure we don't have another Newtown or Aurora massacre. I am wholly sympathetic to the desire to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.
But for starters, I would first like to hear exactly what Biden would have us do, with regard to the First, Second and Fifth Amendments, before I think action is self-justifying on the grounds that if it saves even one life, it's worth it.

Had a great ride over to Astoria on Saturday after missing everybody elses departures. Gave me time to play with my GoPro, and make a few stops. may have enough riding footage for a little movie, but will take me some time to figure out my editor.
Special thanks to Road-Rash for setting this shindig up, and to all the riders who did the cooking. About all I did was hold a light for the professional cooks...oh and some dishes by fire.
Thanks to Fisherman also for showing me a great route home and some decent Greek food in Vernonia...whodathunk that?

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 7/23/12
Although reports in May suggested Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose could return to action in December or January, a report on the Bulls' recent moves in the Chicago Tribune said Rose is "out until likely March." The projection that Rose won't return until March is an estimate based on the typical 12-month recovery period for a torn anterior-cruciate ligament. It's possible Rose could return in January, although that is optimistic. If Rose is indeed out until March, it may doom the Bulls' season. Even if Rose is able to return by February or March, he is unlikely to reach his MVP form of 2011 by the time the playoffs begin in mid-April. That is assuming the Bulls even reach the playoffs without Rose for much of the season. The Bulls earned the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Division for the playoffs this past season, but lost in the opening round to the eighth-seeded 76ers after Rose injured his knee in the first game of that series.

Full Time: Waratahs 26 Cheetahs 27
80 Michael Hooper takes the ball into contact but is held up in the tackle by Brussouw.

The visitors are ecstatic as they clinch another win on the road! The Waratahs' are left to contemplate what could have been as they go down by the narrowest of margins!

1 TRY, CHEETAHS, EBERSOHN! 0-5. Willie le Roux gathers a kick just outside his 22. He sets off on a run and puts in a chip kick which he regathers. The Waratahs defence is all over the place and le Roux calmly offloads to Robert Ebersohn who gets in for the first points of the match! What a start!
Berrick Barnes gets the match underway! His kick is gathered by Hennie Danniller who goes to ground just outside his 22.
Team News: Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has kept faith with the same starting XV that beat the Highlanders for this clash. This match has special significance for scrum-half Sarel Pretorius, who played with the Waratahs in 2012.
Team News: Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has made several changes to his starting XV after last week's debacle against the Brumbies. Wallabies stalwart Berrick Barnes makes his first appearance of the season at inside centre in place of Tom Carter. Also returning to the starting XV is Pat McCutcheon, who takes over at number eight in place of the injured Wycliff Palu, allowing captain Dave Dennis to revert his preferred position on the blindside flank. Out wide, a new wing combination sees Wallaby Lachie Turner elevated from the bench to partner up with newcomer Peter Betham. Full-back Ben Volavola reverts to the bench in place of Israel Folau, who shifts back into the 15 jersey. In the only remaining changes to the pack, hooker John Ulugia takes over from the injured Tatafu Polota-Nau, whilst Paddy Ryan gets a start at tighthead.
Hello and welcome to the Allianz Stadium in Sydney for this Super Rugby hit out between our hosts, the Waratahs, and the Stormers. The Waratahs have plenty to prove to their supporters after suffering a humiliating defeat to the Brumbies last week while the Cheetahs are on a high after claiming a morale-boosting win over the Highlanders. We'll be back soon with team news!

2165 Tasting Notes
Sipdown, 106. Cold brew… yes, I did it again (cold brewing a reserve tea, that is).
I knew I should have only given this an overnight-length steep (~8hrs) instead of the 24hr steeps that I give black teas. But it didn't look very dark, so I left it. It was a tad bitter at first, but I diluted it with some more cold water and now it is pretty delicious. First off, it smells like apples. Really! It came out very fruity and honeyed. A bit of roasting added some depth. Very nice, and I would do it again!
Sipdown, 107. Sad sipdown! This has become one of my favorite white teas, and one I really enjoy drinking.
The first few steeps of this today were super sweet and marshmallowy, even though they were so pale I could hardly tell there would be any flavor. Ye of little faith! They were delicious. Later steeps yielded a bit of squash and and honey. I have a few more detailed notes on this one, so I will just end by saying that this is delicious, I am sad that it has finally been moved to the out of stock section, but am intrigued that it hasn't been "archived." Maybe there will be another picking next spring? I can hold out hope!
You know what is suboptimal for getting sipdowns done? Eating something bad last night and having a still-not-happy stomach this morning. Ugh. So even though this isn't on my sipdown list, I broke it open because it has mint in it, and will hopefully help my stomach settle.
For a minty-herby tea, it's not bad. No really my thing unless I happen to have a stomach ache, but decently tasty. At first I though the puerh in this would turn me off of it especially since when it was fresh brewed and very hot it smelled a lot like earthy shu, but that has calmed down quite a bit. Very herby, a bit medicinal. Basically what I was looking for this morning… at least I had it around.
I tried to use the new timer feature on the Steepster app and it froze with a minute to go… I realized this when I thought this must have been going for longer than 3 minutes, haha. Luckily I had been planning to have this with milk and sugar anyway.
Also Sipdown, 108. A bit sad to see this one go as it is delicious with milk and sugar. Maybe someday I'll restock it.
I am trying out the app's attach photo feature! Interested to see how it comes through. ETA: woah, it changes the photo for the tea! That's not really optimal. I will change it back in a bit.
You realize nobody knows what you're talking about unless they got an e-mail to beta test. I can't do it because I don't have an Apple product. Wish I could though.
Like many, I am logging this on the Steepster app! Will have to remove the rating in a moment.
I might have picked out as much fennel as I could before making this pot of tea. Perhaps I needed to steep it longer… right now it doesn't taste like much at all, unfortunately. I mean it smells good but the flavor is bland. Maybe I need some sugar haha. Oh well, can't love them all. It's still a decently good drink this Friday night.
Haha I was so preoccupied with the new app I forgot to log this as a sipdown. 109!
Dustin, if you have a smart phone you can totally log from your phone. It's what I usually do. The controls just aren't as fine-tuned, and you will probably have to zoom in to read stuff/click on the "like" hearts, etc.
Sipdown, 110. I brewed this one up right before I went out to lunch, so I had about half of it hot and am drinking the rest of it now. I knew it would still be delicious when it had completely cooled! I am digging the roasty, yet still green and slightly floral flavors.
Yeah, I have 6 teas with one serving left and 6 teas with two servings left. I am so going to make it, haha.
i plan on making it by sat evening… so that i have a week to try and get down even further. not that it'll happen but MAYBE i can manage to get down enough so that incoming teas from black friday will only bring me back to 150… (since it takes 10 days generally for things to get to canada from the us)
Sipdown, 111. Thanks again to Teavivre for this sample!
This tea is one of those teas that really just makes me happy. I love a sweet, floral, buttery, unroasted tieguanyin and this fits all of those categories beautifully. Slightly citrusy, green and fresh, but with a lovely complexity. Straight up delicious!
Sipdown, 112. Just like I thought, amazing cold brewed! So fruity and sweet and delicious. I could drink gallons of this tea cold brewed and never get tired of it. I know it's a funny thing to say, but MF teas make some of the most fantastic cold brews I've ever tried. Yum!
Sipdown, 113. Although I have 13 teas to go to hit my goal, I am quickly running out of options as Black Friday approaches. Almost all the black teas are some form of Taiwanese black!
I enjoy this one best with a cool steep temp, relatively short time, and moderate amount of leaf. Today there is a bit more honey to this, no astringency, and a bit of fruit. However, it still lacks a certain depth of flavor that I would have hoped for. Still, I am glad I found some steeping parameters that would let me enjoy what I had of this tea.
Sipdown, 114. I actually had this one last night but didn't get around to writing a note. Thanks to MissB for sending some along!
So the other day when I had the Lupicia rooibos blend I remembered another reason I don't typically drink rooibos: like some people, it tickles the back of my throat and makes me feel a little allergic. I had heard that putting the rooibos in a paper tea pouch (instead of a metal infuser) helps to cut down on this because there's not as much leak-through of tiny rooibos bits, so I tried that with a bit of this tea because I did want to taste it.
I will say, the taste is nice. The rooibos isn't medicinal or weird, and it meshes well with the flavors. It was fruity and sweet. Honestly I didn't pay too much attention to it because about halfway through the cup I got that tickley, swelly feeling in my throat. Don't know if its real allergies or just some other reaction to the particulates, but I do know that I am crossing rooibos off my list of possible teas officially. But this seems like a nice blend if you like rooibos! I passed the rest of this onto my local tea friend who does like rooibos.
Yeah, I loved rooibos until I realized one day that it was bothering the back of my throat! I will drink it with the paper pouches though.

Kenneth D Delbridge5 Stars Out Of 5August 24, 2005Kenneth D DelbridgeThoughtful Bible study with good questions for group discussion. Questions directed discussion back to the sripture and also to related Bible passages. When used in a group larger than 10 people it is good to make small groups of 4 - 6 in a group. Highly recommend.

Help build a national memorial dedicated to American suffragists, focusing on those who endured brutal imprisonment to win voting rights for women.
TPSMA Team Launches
A "Grand" Thank You . . . Memorialize the Suffragists
Fairfax County, Virginia is the site of possibly the most significant moment in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States.
The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association is working with the NOVA Parks (Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA) to raise funds to erect a suffragist memorial to commemorate the struggle of these women and educate future generations.
In 1917, more than 70 suffragists were imprisoned in the Occoquan Workhouse, then part of the Lorton Prison complex, in retaliation for picketing the Woodrow Wilson White House for the right to vote. The reports of inhumane conditions, beatings and force-feeding at the workhouse electrified the country and became the "turning point" in the struggle for the 19th Amendment.
Help us build a memorial to honor these suffragists, and to educate and inspire current and future generations.
The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and donations in support of the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial are charitable contributions deductible to the maximum extent permitted by law. Thank you for your support.

Route 66 defined a remarkable era in our nation's history - and it lives on today in Illinois' Route 66's many roadside attractions, museums, restaurants - and the shining ribbon of blacktop we call The Mother Road.
At what seems to have been the speed of space travel, the iconic Sputnik from the Bel-Aire Motel in Springfield, IL has been saved and restored by Ace Sign Company, and was unveiled Tuesday, May 19th at the dedication of the sign museum at the company's new location at 2540 South First Street in Springfield.
Joe Bringuet from Ace Sign Company was around back when the sign was purchased by the Bel-Aire from a California company, and the motel then hired Ace Sign to install it. Joe recalls that this was somewhere around 1963 to 1965. The sputniks were sold around the country to motels and restaurants primarily, according to Bringuet. They were designed to look like the Soviet Sputnik space satellite. This was the first satellite to orbit the Earth, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957.
Out exploring Route 66 in Illinois? Take a selfie! Be creative and capture yourself and friends at Illinois Route 66 landmarks or even more out-of-the-way harder to find sites along the road. Take your "selfie" and post it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the hashtag #MyIL66. Each month, the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway will select three photos to be highlighted on their social media outlets, and the photo with the most likes/comments/shares will win an Illinois Route 66 license plate and baseball hat! But it gets better...once per year, the Byway will let voters choose from the 12 monthly winners, and the photo that gets the most likes/comments/shares will win the grand prize: a basket full of Illinois Route 66 memorabilia, gift certificates, and more!
In November 2013, organizational leaders and representative stakeholders of Route 66 met at "The Road Ahead" strategic roundtable in Anaheim, California. Sponsored by the World Monument Fund/American Express, their purpose was to discuss a vision and strategies for developing a national framework for collaboration along the Road.

By virtue of their appearance in this open access journal, articles are free to use, with proper attribution, in educational and other non-commercial settings. Croatian library leaders' views on (their) library quality http://ozk.unizd.hr/libellarium/index.php/libellarium/article/view/203 The purpose of this paper is to determine and describe the library culture in Croatian public libraries. Semi-structured interviews with 14 library directors (ten public and four academic) were conducted. The tentative discussion topics were: definition of quality, responsibility for quality, satisfaction with library services, familiarization with user perspective of library and librarians, monitoring of user expectations and opinions. These interviews incorporate some of the findings of the project Evaluation of library and information services: public and academic libraries. The project investigates library culture in Croatian public and academic libraries and their preparedness for activities of performance measurement. The interviews reveal that library culture has changed positively in the past few years and that library leaders have positive attitude towards quality and evaluation activities. Library culture in Croatian libraries is a relatively new concept and as such was not actively developed and/or created. This article looks into the library culture of Croatian libraries, but at the same time investigates whether there is any trace of culture of assessment in them. Also, this article brings the latest update on views, opinions and atmosphere in Croatian public and academic libraries. Kornelija Petr Balog Martina Dragija Ivanović 2014-04-01 2014-04-01 7 2 141 164 10.15291/libellarium.v7i2.203 Using newspaper collections in information institutions for research purposes: experiences of historians and linguists http://ozk.unizd.hr/libellarium/index.php/libellarium/article/view/208 The aim of this paper is to present the opinions, experiences and needs of a sample of scientists in the field of the humanities – namely historians and philologists – and their use of newspaper collections in memory institutions during scientific research. A part of the results gathered in the research, which was conducted within the Newspapers as a source of scientific information in social sciences and humanities project, and is presented here. This project examined the extent and practices in the use of newspapers as a resource of information for scientific research in the social sciences and humanities field in Croatia. The quantitative and qualitative data about the methods and level of use of newspaper material as a resource in scientific research were gathered. The results of this project implied that the newspapers are recognised and used as an admissible resource in scientific work, especially in the fields of history and philology. The fact that scientists have specific information needs and search patterns should be considered in creating innovative and effective digital newspaper collections. Maja Krtalić Hana Marčetić 2015-04-01 2015-04-01 7 2 165 177 10.15291/libellarium.v7i2.208 Analysis of Croatian archives' web page from the perspective of public programmes http://ozk.unizd.hr/libellarium/index.php/libellarium/article/view/206 In order to remain relevant in society, archivists should promote collections and records that are kept in the archives. Through public programmes, archives interact with customers and various public actors and create the institutional image. This paper is concerned with the role of public programmes in the process of modernization of the archival practice, with the emphasis on the Croatian state archives. The aim of the paper is to identify what kind of information is offered to users and public in general on the web sites of the Croatian state archives. Public programmes involve two important components of archival practice: archives and users. Therefore, public programmes ensure good relations with the public. Croatian archivists still question the need for public relations in archives, while American and European archives have already integrated public relations into the basic archival functions. The key components needed for successful planning and implementation of public programs are the source of financing, compliance with the annual work plan, clear goals, defined target audience, cooperation and support from the local community, and the evaluation of results. Goran Pavelin 2015-04-01 2015-04-01 7 2 179 195 10.15291/libellarium.v7i2.206 Translations of IFLA's documents published by the Croatian Library Association - analysis, status, prospects http://ozk.unizd.hr/libellarium/index.php/libellarium/article/view/209 The paper provides an overview of the Croatian translation of IFLA documents, guidelines, manuals and standards published by the Croatian Library Association (CLA), including both documents as standalone editions in monographs and parts of proceedings or serial publications. For this purpose we have made the bibliography of translations including the year 2014. Data on the published translations have been analyzed according to quantitative and qualitative parameters. Based on the collected data, the author has tried to determine if there is a need for further publication of translations of IFLA's documents in the edition of CLA. The paper provides an insight into the issue of publishing by professional associations in Croatia. Ana Barbarić 2015-04-01 2015-04-01 7 2 197 230 10.15291/libellarium.v7i2.209 Authorship in Croatian copyright legislation from 1846 to 2007 http://ozk.unizd.hr/libellarium/index.php/libellarium/article/view/204 The aim of this paper is to investigate and present concepts of the author and his/her copyright work in copyright legislation that entered into force in Croatia from 1846 to 2007. 17 legal documents (acts, corrigenda, amendments) were investigated using the content analysis method. The analysis of the results gives an insight into various cultural and sociological dimensions of authorship in the given time-frame. Special attention was paid to definitions of the author and his/her copyright work, examples of copyright works and exceptions related to the duration of copyright for different kinds of copyright works. As there had been no systematic overview of such legal documents in the available literature, they were briefly described in the first part of the paper, highlighting the important articles that stress the role of authors and their copyright work. In the analysis and summary we provide a systematic overview of the main concepts, with a special review of copyright laws in relation to new technologies and artistic forms: it is their relationship that testifies to the complexity of the term 'copyright work'. The paper shows that the basic perception of the author, his/her copyright works and their relations in the analysed copyright legislation has not changed significantly during this period of time. All legal documents refer to the examples of copyright work, and in 1957 a definition of copyright work was included, according to which copyright work is every spiritual (later referred to as intellectual) creation. The concept of the author is strongly linked with the concept of author's copyright work. Various examples of copyright works allow us to see the difference between works that are permanent (e.g. literary works, music works, art works) and works that are yet to be protected by copyright thanks to the development of technology and new features of artistic expression (e.g. photography, movies, computer programs). The process of getting copyright is reflected in articles that regulate the duration of copyright. Zoran Velagić Ines Hocenski 2015-04-01 2015-04-01 7 2 231 252 10.15291/libellarium.v7i2.204 Evaluation of academic library collection using a check-list method http://ozk.unizd.hr/libellarium/index.php/libellarium/article/view/205 The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quality of the ILS library collection of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS) in Osijek, Croatia and its congruence with the curriculum. The quality of the collection is measured using the check-list method. The required and optional reading lists of the Department of Information Sciences at the FHSS (academic year 2011/2012) are used as standard lists that the library holdings are compared to. The results found that the library does not have 30.8 per cent of the titles on the reading lists. The remaining 33.9 per cent of the titles are accessible in the library, 28.5 per cent are free electronic resources, and 6.8 per cent of titles are accessible for students through the Department's Moodle, Learning Management System. The study provides data about the titles available and not available in the FHSS library. However, it does not differentiate between the titles on the required and optional reading lists. This study provides the FHSS librarians with the list of titles that should be obtained in the near future. In Croatia, very few papers on collection assessment have been published so far, and this is the first study about the quality of a library collection at the University of Osijek. The paper attempts to fill that gap and contribute to a deeper understanding of the quality of library collections in the Croatian academic setting.

The research was conducted using the covers of the journals Zarez, Vijenac and Kolo published from 1999 to 2011. The journal sample was selected based on the availability of periodicals, their topic and their cultural and social relevance. The research showed that visual communication on journal covers varies depending on the identity of the journal. Images are the key element in creating the message on the cover, they determine the way a journal communicates, giving it style, tone, and depth. Although thematically very similar, the journals we compared speak a different visual language. The main characteristic of Zarez is the daring and ironic visual communication that criticizes social events. In Vijenac, and in Kolo in particular, a more passive method of communication is used, which merely reflects the society and culture in which it is situated and about which it testifies. Focused on comments about general social and cultural events, without any real involvement, Kolo lacks the key element of visual communication that intrigues and directs readers' attention to the journal.

Omai (circa 1753-circa 1780), First Tahitian to visit England
Sitter in 5 portraits
A native of Tahiti, Omai returned with Cook's second expedition to the South Pacific, in 1774. After landing, he was placed in the care of the scientist and socialite Joseph Banks who was interested in observing how a 'native' responded to European society. But Omai was quickly discovered to be a sophisticated man with a complex culture of his own. His personal charm, good humour and sense of etiquette won him the affection of high society.

I am a self-educated comic book geek. Most of my knowledge comes from wikipedia and various other sources I stumble upon across the internet. The only time I actually get to read the comics I am so interested in is when they come in at my library or I find them at Barnes and Noble and read them there. Wish I knew some fellow geeks who actually bought the comics....I am so behind on various characters.

Permit applications for changes to single-family homes
First half of 2010: 3,834
First half of 2011: 3,735
Homes sold in San Francisco
First half of 2010: 2,744
First half of 2011: 2,615
—Sources: Department of Building Inspection, DataQuick
San Francisco homeowners so far this year have applied for fewer permits to make changes to their properties than they did by this point last year, according to data from the city's Department of Building Inspection. In the first half of 2011, there were 3,735 applications filed to the department from people proposing to make changes to single-family dwellings, down 2.6% from 3,834 in the year-earlier period. The projects ranged from installing new roofs to remodeling kitchens and bathrooms. The drop might be related to lower real-estate sales. The city's housing market was bolstered in the first half of 2010 by state and federal tax credits for home buyers, but those credits are long depleted or expired. In the first half of this year, 2,615 homes sold in San Francisco, down 5.1% from a year earlier, according to DataQuick.

Wonderful, comfy beds, nice breakfast, friendly staff.
Room was spacious and bed was very nice and so comfortable. Handicap shower was convenient. Breakfast was very generous and good.
View was a construction site but private so we could open curtains. Breakfast area was crowded there was a large group lingering and took up lots of space.
That place is a dump

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?

The Decorative Arts Museum
Location: Calle Montalbán, 12 Tel: 915-326-499 Web: http://mnartesdecorativas.mcu.es/
Tuesday to Saturday: 9:30 to 15:00 H.
Sundays and holidays: 10:00 to 15:00 H.
Closed: Every Monday, Jan. 1, May 1, Dec. 24, 25, and 31, and all local holidays.
This little known museum is housed in the mansion of the Duchess of Santoña, which was constructed in the 1880's. The state bought this mansion in 1941. Two floors were added to the 4 story mansion, so there is a lot of display space. This museum is one of the first created in Europe and follows the example of the Victoria and Albert Museum of London. The museum was created in 1912 as the National Museum of Industrial Arts, which wanted to be a place to teach artisans and artists the industrial arts. There are 70 salons which show 15,000 objects, but museum has a total of 40,000 objects. There are many antiques from China. Among the collections are ceramics, glass, textiles, Spanish carpets, Spanish furniture, and jewels and metals.
Very interesting are the rooms that show how the Spanish lived from the 15th to the 19th centuries in Spain. They had all sorts of collections, like the fan collection. Fans originally came from China, but were later made in Europe. Every century had a preference in fans, so styles changed constantly. The museum has a lot of beautiful furniture. Of importance is the beautiful tiled kitchen from Valencia that dates from the middle of the 18th century. The kitchen has tiles that show how servants prepared chocolate and pastries for the woman of the house. The kitchen also has the image in tile of the Virgen del Carmen.

Portable fire extinguishers are required to have periodic internal testing performed in order to remain compliant with fire code. Many fire service providers perform this service on a customer's site, which can be messy, interrupt the customer's operations, and decrease the quality and consistency of service. At Cintas, we replace our customers' extinguishers that are due for testing with units that have already had the appropriate testing performed in one of our Regional Processing Centers. The noncompliant units are then shipped to the nearest Processing Center for servicing.
Once at the Processing Center, the extinguishers are grouped by type, size and manufacturer, and then they are cleaned and prepared for servicing. The chemical agent is blown out, the appropriate scheduled maintenance is performed, and then the extinguishers are refilled and checked for leaks.
Our internal servicing process reduces the risk of defective extinguishers significantly by minimizing the number of persons handling each extinguisher and performing multiple quality audits along the way.
After the appropriate service has been performed, the extinguishers are cleaned and inspected one last time. They are then ready to protect a Cintas customer facility like yours.
As always, should one of your extinguishers leak after being serviced in one of our processing centers, we will correct the problem for free- it's all part of our Value Inspection Program guarantee.
Click here to see how Cintas can keep your fire extinguishers compliant—guaranteed.

GM Aims to Triple Vehicle Sales in India by 2013
Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Co.'s India unit aims to almost triple annual sales to 300,000 vehicles by 2013 as the nation's economic growth and rising incomes boost demand.
GM plans to introduce as many as six models, including two commercial vehicles, in India in the next two years, Karl Slym, head of the Detroit-based company's local unit, said at a press conference in New Delhi today. A diesel-powered version of the Beat small car will go on sale in a "few weeks," he said.
The automaker and its Shanghai-based partner SAIC Motor Corp. will start selling models in India this year similar to those already sold in China. GM, which entered the South Asian nation in 1994, aims to boost its 5 percent market share with the new range and challenge Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., the country's largest carmaker.
"The biggest additional segment that we go into is commercial vehicles," Slym said. "In India, 40 percent of the overall sales of the market are in commercial vehicles, and we don't sell in that market. That is a big, huge growth area."
India's domestic car sales rose 29 percent from a year earlier to 148,681 vehicles in December, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers said this month. Total passenger-car shipments jumped 31 percent to 1.87 million last year, according to the group. GM's sales in India rose 59 percent in 2010 to 110,804, according to the company's website.
Total commercial vehicle sales in the nation rose 27 percent last month to 61,880, according to the auto group.
Toyota Motor Corp., Volkswagen AG and Nissan Motor Co. have expanded factories and introduced new vehicles in India, where the government estimates sales may pass 3 million vehicles by 2015. India's economy grew by an average of 8.5 percent annually over the past five years.
