|Criterion H
|The Prince Consort Hotel contributes to the Wickham Street streetscape, and is significant as one of a group of hotels designed by architect Richard Gailey which contribute to the architectural character of Brisbane through their imposing presence, extensive use of ornamental cast-iron and classical detailing.
|The present Prince Consort Hotel, a three-storeyed masonry building, was erected in 1887-88 for Brisbane publican John Daniel Heal. It was the second Prince Consort Hotel to occupy the site. The first was built c.1863 and leased by Heal. In 1879 Heal purchased the hotel and by 1887 he had acquired several adjoining subdivisions as well. The old building was demolished and its larger replacement took twelve months to build. The new Prince Consort Hotel was designed by architect Richard Gailey, who called tenders in mid-1887. It was erected by contractor William Ferguson at a cost of £9,400, and was completed in August 1888. Ferguson died before the hotel was finished, but the contract was completed by his executors. Its construction in the 1880s reflected the general building boom in Queensland which accompanied a period of unprecedented economic growth. During the second half of the 1880s, Valley residents witnessed the construction of four large hotels all designed by architect Richard Gailey. The Wickham (1885) (QHR 600213), the Empire (1887) (QHR 600199), the Jubilee (1887) (QHR 600211) and the Prince Consort contained extensive accommodation and were located on prominent sites. Gailey also designed the Regatta Hotel (QHR 600331) at Toowong in 1886. When completed, the new Prince Consort boasted one of the largest bars in Brisbane, three parlours, a large dining room, billiard room, kitchen, cellar, six bathrooms and twenty-eight bedrooms. Four large shops were also built on the ground floor. Running the whole length of the first floor facade was a reception area, known as the Club Room, divided by a folding partition into two rooms. It was a regular meeting venue for local Valley groups such as lodges. In 1935 the hotel underwent alterations and additions, the architect was J P Donoghue and the contractor J Corbett. The hotel's curved, post-supported awning was probably replaced with the flat cantilevered awning at this time.
|The hotel consists of two, three storey, masonry buildings connected by timber verandahs. The principal range along Wickham Street is rendered to resemble ashlar. It has balconies to the two upper floors with cast iron twin posts, and balustrades and friezes of differing designs to each floor. The upper balcony has a curved galvanised iron roof below a corbelled and bracketed string course, a rendered parapet with two triangular pediments, and concrete balusters and urns. French doors with fanlights, between pilasters, open onto the balconies. Changes to the street elevation have been confined to the ground floor shopfronts and the replacement of the original curved, post-supported awning with a flat cantilevered awning. The second building at the rear, is at right angles to the main building. The two buildings are connected by verandahs, which although partially enclosed contain much of the original fabric including timber railings and valances. A number of small accretions have been built at the rear of the building. In the yard behind the building is a large air raid shelter now used as a store room. Internally the hotel retains its original layout and much of its 1880s detailing and finishes. The basement under the main building has openings knocked through the walls. The bars on the ground floor have been renovated a number of times. The main staircase is intact, as are plasterwork and joinery.

So my family is going to WDW the 2nd week of August, which is between my mom's 50th birthday in July (which I'm renting 50 pink flamingos to put in the yard and it's going to be a hoot) and my dad's 49th birthday in September. Since this is this only trip we'll be able to do this year because of my surgery with physical therapy having to learn to walk again, dad's business trips for weeks at a time, and school starting in August, I was wondering if there are any cute things that I can do for them while we're all WDW or surprise them with? I was thinking about ordering a gift package from the WDW florist, but it's quite a steep drop in the bucket for a teenager.
So I was wondering if anybody could give me any cute ideas to do for them. Thanks.

Bonus points if you can finish my headline from one of my favorite movies! I would love to meet someone who shares my values. I am looking for someone driven and motivated, but someone always up for having fun! It is difficult to describe myself because there are a lot of different aspects to my personality. I have been described as paradoxical- - I guess that is why I picked "ebb and flow" as a name- - and yet it all works together to make me who I am as a person. When I commit to something I put my whole heart into it. I don't see the point in doing things halfway. The other side of me loves to have fun, relax, and hang out. I love to laugh and have been told my laugh is contagious. My work is my passion. I love what I do and know I have found my true calling. I do take my career very seriously, but it does not solely define me. I have many diverse interests from catching a Patriots game at my favorite local bar to going to art museums. Also, I enjoy running. It is a great way to clear my mind after a long day. Although I hesitate to call myself a "real runner," I have run a few marathons in the past (slowly)! In addition, I absolutely love to travel. I have been to many beautiful places. I am planning a few trips and would love to hear some suggestions! I currently live just outside of the city and enjoy all that Boston has to offer; however, I never feel more relaxed than when I am at the beach near my family's house in Maine. My family and friends mean everything to me. I am lucky enough to have a close group of friends whom I've known forever. A quick wit and sense of humor are a must to hang with this group! Okay that is enough about me. I want to know about you. . . .

John: It's already week 10? Damn. Time flies when you're having fun watching the NFL week after week. Every team has played more than eight games now and the push to the playoffs is on. It's the time of year when we find out what teams are the pretenders and what teams are the contenders. That was pretty generic, I know. I need something to put up here knowing I have to write about the Jaguars today.
As always I'm joined by Bret Clev and Mike Maloney to break down tonight's game.
Standings after Week 9 (Straight Up)
John 88-44 .667 (Last Week 12-2)
Bret 85-47 .644 (10-4)
Mike 84-48 .636 (9-5)
We're all doing very well. I went 12-2 in each of the last two weeks.
Indianapolis (5-3) at Jacksonville (1-7) 8:20 PM ET
Bret: This is a week I think the public manages to come out on top gambling. Obviously people are in love with Indianapolis right now, and while normally I'd be quick to go against that perception - mostly because Jacksonville is that rare breed of animal that is actually WORSE at home than on the road (0-4 against the spread) 34-126 point differential.
Indianapolis still is a below average team benefiting from a bit of an easy schedule, but that win against Miami last week was legit, and shows just how far they've come. I think Jacksonville's offense will have one of its best days against a defense that is pretty weak in both facets of the game (32nd pass/31st rush), and that will keep them in this game until the end.
Still, I think Indianapolis makes less mistakes in this game than Jacksonville, and this is not the week the Colts come back to Earth. Indianapolis 27 Jacksonville 24
Mike: I feel like this is one of those games where EVERYONE is behind the Colts, which you'd think would cause them to lose. Unfortunately they are playing the Jaguars, who have only been competitive in one of their last five games, and that was against the hapless Raiders. Now yes, the Jaguars have shown themselves to be capable of beating the Colts, as it's their only win on the schedule, but that Jaguars team had Maurice Jones-Drew playing, and Andrew Luck was also in his third career start.
Detroit didn't really have much trouble moving the ball against the Jaguars, so I wouldn't expect the Colts to either. One of the big weaknesses of the Colts is their run defense, unfortunately Rashad Jennings isn't really going to be the answer there. I'm tentatively picking the Colts to win on the road, just because Jacksonville is so bad without MJD, and because this is a really big game for Indy on the path to the playoffs. They play 5 of their last 8 on the road, and have games against the Patriots and the Texans twice. However, their performance away from home and the short week, a Jaguars upset wouldn't shock me. Indianapolis 20 Jacksonville 16
John: Initially I was tempted to pick the Jaguars to win this game, but then when I dug into the stats deeper I realized I have a tough time picking this team to win any game the rest of the year. Their only win came against the Colts in week three in Indianapolis. The Colts were up 17-16 with less than a minute left when Blaine Gabbert connected with Cecil Shorts on an 80 yard TD pass. That led to their 22-17 victory (failed two point conversion). The key stat from that game is that Maurice Jones-Drew ran the ball for 177 yards on 28 carries to lead the Jaguars to the victory.
Since then, some things have changed. Jones-Drew is not playing and if you asked me I think he'll be on another team next season too. You can't replace MJD with Rashad Jennings and expect the same kind of production. We've seen that he's not as good. The Colts are also playing a lot better having won three straight games and four of their last five games. I can't say I remember that Jags/Colts game, but looking at it on paper you can see that the Jags used a ball control offense and then a big play late to win that game.
The Colts wins this year all happened in close games. Their margins of victory in their five wins are by 3, 3, 6, 6 (in OT) and 3 points last week against the Dolphins. I think a lot of credit has to be given to QB Andrew Luck, who does a tremendous job of keeping his poise during these close games. He is patient in the pocket, moves around if he has to and he's accurate. Winning four of five isn't just due to an easy schedule. They're playing better because Luck is building a chemistry with his teammates. If the Jags don't double team Reggie Wayne, Luck will find him early and often. If they do key on Wayne then Luck has shown he can find the other WRs.
To beat the Colts the first thing you should do is run the ball. The Jags aren't good at that without MJD. Jennings is getting just 3.1 yards per carry. That's nothing to get excited about. I think the Colts will be able to deal with that and they will put some points on the board. It's not like there's a home field advantage for the Jags when their fans know the team is arguably the worst in the league (battle with the Chiefs for that honor) and they have issues on both sides of the ball.
The spread is three points for the Colts and the over/under is 42.5 points. I don't know if I'll make a bet on it, but I'll go with the Colts and the over just because both defenses have a lot of question marks. I think the Jags will put up a fight, but it won't be enough. Colts 27-20
Thanks for reading. We'll see you again on Friday for the rest of this week's games.

Authorities say they have caught the woman who donned big, black sunglasses and robbed at least five banks in less than a month, including Klein Bank in Cologne. 23-year-old Ranya Hamad Al-Huthaili of Roseville was arrested Monday evening after allegedly holding up a bank in Menomonie, Wisconsin earlier that day. She is believed to have started her crime spree in Cologne in mid-August, working her way generally north and east, carrying out other bank holdups in Stacy and Forest Lake in Minnesota, before crossing into Wisconsin, where she also allegedly hit a bank in Hudson. The heists became more frequent as they grew in number. Al-Huthaili is being held in Minnesota by the FBI, and charges are pending, most likely in federal court.

Great dr , he know what he is doing and what he is talking about . He broke all medical terminology down for my husband and I to understand every step and also gave us options. Nice clean office and the staff is AWESOME !

I was referred to Dr. M after almost 2 years of trying to get pregnant and several unsuccessful IUIs with my OB/GYN. As a health care professional in my mid-thirties with no children yet, it would not be far-fetched to say that I knew enough about my odds/timeline to feel desperate if not hopeless about getting pregnant. First and foremost, Dr. M is a good if not great listener--I found this to be impressive given the number of patients he sees on a daily basis. Once he understands your goals, he is exceptional at outlining a handwritten (yes, in writing you can read) plan that leaves you with choices where available and simplifies your next steps.
My husband and I were ready to do IVF, but the timing made it easier to try one more IUI cycle and he felt optimistic about our odds with the change in my protocol. So, as the story goes, first cycle worked--I felt like I blinked and I am back with my OB well into my second trimester! I can tell you we had choices because there are other good doctors in town. All I can say is that if you want the best pairing of a caring, available and intelligent doctor, team (who are awesome, BTW!) you should go to AFI first. That's what I did, and I know I will if I need help again in a couple of years.

Dr. Moghadam is great! He and his staff are always patient, caring, thorough, and never left you feeling rushed. It was a pleasure to have him as our provider and will use him again in the future, if needed. Wait times can be long, at times, but the quality of service is definitely worth the wait.

My family's experience with Dr. Moghadam is nothing short of excellent. My OB referred us to him after trying for almost five years unsuccessfully to get pregnant. It is now three years later and we have grown from a family of two to five. He and his staff identified our infertility issue and and came up with a plan to overcome it. We also were informed of the odds for success and costs up front. We always felt like we knew where exactly we were in the process and if we didn't we could call him directly with any concerns. He is amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with infertility.

I wish I could express how wonderful Dr. Moghadam and his staff are. They helped my husband and I conceive 2 years ago and now I'm a returning patient and expecting baby number two! Dr. Moghadam has always been patient, understanding, and compassionate. I saw two REs before going to see Dr. Moghadam and now I wouldn't go any where else. His personalized treatment plan was perfect for us and all the lab work was so much more convenient and less stressful. The staff members in the office, lab, and surgery center have always been so friendly, organized, and helpful.

very rude and DISRESPECTFUL TO HIS STAFF!! Would NOT ever recommend him to ANYONE EVER! Bedside manner is WORST I have seen in 40yrs BY any Dr...!

Dr. Moghadam is an excellent RE. A friend recommended another RE in the Austin area, but Dr. M took my insurance so this is where I went. I am so happy that I did. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and personal. He makes sure you understand his recommendation for the next course of action, but also explains all your choices and leaves the decisions up to you. I appreciated that as this journey is very personal. One of the things I loved most about him is how he connected well with my left brained husband who was hesitant to approach a fertility doctor anyway.
Dr. M's staff is excellent and friendly. Considering how persona the fertility journey can be, I never felt like my privacy was compromised and all members of the staff were always wonderful. There are definitely times where I had to wait for appointments, often as the result of Dr. M getting caught in an emergency procedure or surgery. But when you're in the midst of fertility treatments and you're seeing the doc every other day, even a little wait can seem like a lot. The whole staff always did their best to move things along rapidly without compromising care. Just know that if you have an appt before noon you will likely have a wait. Be patient, Dr. M is worth it.
As a side note, we did conceive with the help of Dr. M. This review would have been written the same even if we hadn't.

After years of trying and no real diagnosis as to why we were not getting pregnant, my husband and I heard that Dr. Moghadam at the Austin Fertility Institute was the doctor to go to. I personally know 4 ladies who have conceived with Dr. M and they will all tell you that when you want to get the job done, he's your doctor. His approach is aggressive and personal to each patient. His experience and track record speaks for itself. Dr. M is very knowledgeable. Sometimes too much. He does like to explain everything in great detail and can at times talk more than listen. However, once he gets to know you and your situation, he is extremely understanding and does his best to make a plan that is personal to you. After many visits, you realize how busy his practice is and how he and his staff go out of their way to make the process as comfortable as possible. Speaking of his staff, they are amazing! Super nice and very helpful with questions. When we first visited with Dr. M, we decided to try IUI's first. They did not work for us, but I know they have worked for others. After one round of IVF with Dr. M, we are now expecting and so very excited! I would certainly recommend Dr. Moghadam and the staff at Austin Fertility Institute if you're looking for a fertility doctor in Austin or the surrounding areas.

I was not at all pleased with my experience with Dr. Moghadam. He was impatient and wasn't interested in working with my husband and I within the bounds that we felt comfortable. His job is IVF and that's what he's going to recommend and PUSH for regardless of your situation. The response from the few tests he did was not particularly informative from the nurses who just recommended we call the doctor on his personal number. I did NOT like his bedside manner at all. Just an IVF salesman.

for greater efficiencies in large software development tasks will produce pressures for greater standardization in the languages used and in software engineering procedures. Once these pressures begin to rigidify software development processes, at some time far in the future, concerns about enslavement and stifling of creativity could indeed characterize software technology. My personal assessment is that software technology is today remote from that degree of standardization and rigidification of the development system.

Windows on the display screen are in many respects a metaphor for the way we use several papers and books on the desk as we work. Placing on the desk a book or paper to which we refer as we write a manuscript is, in effect, opening a new window to our visual attention. Of course, it may temporarily cover other books or papers to which we have been referring. In the context of the computer interface, windowing is setting aside an area of the display screen as a domain of visual attention, within which activities are carried on either alongside or over other windows on the display. The secret of opening these windows, storing other windows elsewhere on the screen, and carrying on independent computing or editing activities within each window lies, of course, with the programming. This approach is a major software advance of the past decade.

Considerable design effort is made to see that the display, which is inherently of lower resolution than the laser beam-addressed page, closely resembles the page that will be printed on the paper. This page layout is typically laser-scanned at about 300 elements per inch, whereas the typical computer display has a resolution of 70–75 elements per inch. Considerable software effort is required to make the display screen appear to the knowledge worker just as the page printout will look from the higher resolution laser printer.

LONG ISLAND JOURNAL; For Artist, It All Begins With Children
By MARCELLE S. FISCHLER
Published: April 18, 1999
GRIPPING a palette knife with his fist, Alex Gates splotched mustard-colored acrylic paint onto a large sheet of paper. The artist from Lido Beach studied the glob intently, then wiped his knife clean on a rag. He dipped the tool into a cupcake tin and streaked red paint across his canvas.
''He's a little Willem de Kooning,'' exclaimed Carlo Thertus, a Haitian-born artist, referring to the abstract artist, as he watched the 6-year-old repeat the paint-smearing technique, adding purple, blue and white splashes to his creation. ''I can't say anything to him what to do,'' Mr. Thertus said.
Across the studio, Josh Lewin-Jacus, 7, of Lynbrook, was shaping a lopsided plate out of clay. He stuck a wooden stick in its center and capped it with a blob of clay. ''I don't know what it is,'' Josh said, holding the work of art up to his teacher.
Mr. Thertus grinned broadly and proclaimed the sculpture another triumph of Josh's inimitable style.
''His minimalism would give any adult something to think about. Amazing,'' he declared in a thick Caribbean cadence. ''It's the nature of art itself. I'm sure he doesn't even know the artists who paint minimalist or what minimalism is even about.''
It was Sunday afternoon at the Creative Art Space for Kids in Oceanside, a freewheeling, free-of-charge weekend arts school started a year and a half ago by Mr. Thertus in the basement studio of his ''The-R-Tus Gallery.'' Twenty children, aged 5 to 11, were making sculptures with clay, wire and popsicle sticks, fingerpainting, doing watercolor, acrylics or drawing with markers, switching between mediums unhindered.
More than 250 children have participated in the program, gently guided by five professional artists. A class for teen-agers meets Saturday afternoons. Artwork by 55 of those children, using recycled materials with an Earth Day theme, is on display at the gallery through April 30.
''Each kid gets a chunk of clay and lets their imagination go,'' Mr. Thertus said, pointing out a 200-pound block of clay he purchased for the lesson. ''That's the best way to do it. The only thing I can provide is the environment and the supplies. The inspiration and genius, they are born with it. I can't control that and I don't think I should control that either.''
So the easels are available even on sculpture days and multi-media projects rule. A healthy imagination, he said, builds self-esteem and individuality. It is the basis of humanity, what distinguishes man from the apes.
Developing and encouraging a child's creativity is the premise behind C.A.S.K., which Mr. Thertus had been financing through the sale of his own brightly hued self-expressionist paintings imbued with political overtones at an average of $3,000 to $4,000 apiece. C.A.S.K. recently received not-for-profit status.
''This is a dream that I've had for a long time,'' he said. ''Why close the door if someone cannot afford art? We have to launch creativity. Kids get frustrated. They have feelings. They need to express whatever is in there.''
The idea for free classes is rooted in Mr. Thertus's own impoverished childhood. He recalled being an artistic and creative youngster, thwarted from pursuing his dream at age 16 by parents who pushed him to study more practical subjects. ''I lost it for a while, misguided by my parents,'' he said. ''They wanted me to be a doctor. If I see blood, I pass out.''
Instead, Mr. Thertus, who moved to the United States at age 23, pursued mechanical drawing, engineering and business management and spent several years as a salesman and in construction.
''It didn't work,'' he said. ''After a while, I got frustrated. I remembered I was born as a genius artist.'' So nine years ago, at age 33, he plunged into art.
''I had to do that for myself,'' he said. ''It was tough. I got evicted. I lost my house. I almost slept on a bench. It was a serious engagement to say I would paint full time.''
His work was a success almost from the start. One of Mr. Thertus's early paintings, ''The End/The Beginning,'' depicting the pride of freedom, hangs in the White House. He has also shown his work at the African American Museum in Hempstead and galleries in Boston, Florida and California.
''The most beautiful thing is to have living artists working in a studio with kids,'' he said. ''You can't put a price on that. It's for the kids and the kids respond to it.I am learning from them. They are going to make me a master.''
Spiritual Matters
Uncross your legs and arms. Relax. Breathe deeply. Skeptics stop here.
''If you come to a reading with an absence of faith,'' said Robert Hansen, a medium and spiritual counselor, ''then it becomes almost impossible to do.''
So if you're sitting on the floor, keep your legs straight, like a radio antenna. A connection is about to be made.
Sunday evenings, the Silent Flute Self Defense Center, a martial arts school in Wantagh, becomes the Celestial Arts Center. The lights are dimmed. Candles flicker. Close to 50 men and women crowd the studio, eyes shut, arms outstretched, palms turned up in silent supplication.

Southern Beer ToursRead MoreMost popular offering: Beer Tasting Reservations: Required Kid-friendly: No Alcohol: Beer and wine only Established: 2013 Parking: Parking garage Handicap Accessible: No Pro Tip: Eat before arrival and arrive early. To the guides at Southern Beer Tours, every sip of local beer can be an exciting experience. "We enjoy highlighting the big guys, the smaller guys, and the start-ups," says the company's president. As guides point out on their tours, Georgia boasts more than 20 local breweries, and numerous other start-ups expected to yield fresh brews in the near future. The guides don't stick to one route or landscape, either; they constantly rotate the regions they tour in order to visit different breweries, pubs, and the region's naturally-occurring beer geysers.2424 Piedmont Rd.Atlanta, GA US
Nashville Double DeckerRead MorePriscilla was born in Bristol, England in 1967. She toiled in public transportation until the 1980s, when she begrudgingly entered early retirement. She spent some of it in Liverpool, and some in Flitwick, but eventually succumbed to the promise of greener pastures in the U.S.—she moved to Kansas in 1993, and eventually settled in Tennessee. Priscilla is the double-decker bus that Rufus, the owner of Nashville Double Decker, loads up with guests before touring the city. The idea for a bus-tour company came to him before his second deployment with the Tennessee Army National Guard on a visit to Nashville. He took a trolley tour that left him disappointed. The tour didn't cross any of the city's bridges, and he couldn't enjoy some of Nashville's best views thanks to the trolley's closed top. So while Rufus was still overseas, he convinced a friend to drive Priscilla across the country from Washington, and now she shows guests the sites around Nashville.PO Box 4508Chattanooga, TN US
Hook Line & SchoonerRead MoreThough the beach is a decent drive from Hook Line & Schooner, you wouldn't know it by looking at the place. Bedecked in a nautical motif complete with navy walls, exposed wood, and the occasional lifesaver, the restaurant matches its decor to its menu, making guests feel like they're a stone's throw from the lapping waters of the Atlantic. There's a smorgasbord of seafood available, starting with raw bar selections, charbroiled oysters, chowders, and crab dip, as well as fish sandwiches and tacos. Full plates include Southern and house specialties, from fried catfish to grilled snow crab legs, with pan-seared New York strip steak thrown in for good measure. An equally expansive drink list is filled with wine, beer, and specialty cocktails.4600 West Village PlaceSmyrna, GA US
Atlanta Bike FestivalRead MoreSpread across 80 acres of saunter-friendly sod, the Atlanta Bike Festival draws motorcycle maniacs, blues and rock buffs, and adventurous aficionados alike. The festival hosts an array of domestic, foreign, and custom choppers all agleam in the Marietta sun, along with gear and accessories, shopping opportunities, riding lessons, test drives, and additional hog-related action. Sights and sounds occur on two main stages, one devoted each day to bellyaching blues and rock music and the other to enticing events like stunt rider shows and seeing how many gullible clowns can fit on a motorcycle. Cast a vocal vote in one of the many contests, such as the Miss Atlanta Bike Festival Beauty Pageant, the Motorcycle Burnout Contest, and the Arm Wrestling Contest, where strongmen compete to see who performs the best forearm suplex. Enjoy the many thrills of the Atlanta Bike Festival while knowing that your vehicle has been safely parked in a secured area.2245 Callaway Road SouthwestMarietta, GA US
Urban Goose Chase VancouverRead MoreA curious madness has taken hold of average citizens in North America, the UK, and South Africa. Groups of adults rove the city in packs, staring down at their smartphones before impersonating tapanaki chefs at a coffeehouse condiment counter and knitting with plastic bags. This is an Urban Goose Chase. The taskmasters at Urban Goose Chase turn the notion of a traditional scavenger hunt on its ear by communicating with teams via an Android- and iPhone-compatible app. Event instructions are sent out 48 hours in advance; teams download the app and receive a variety of missions from which they can select. Successfully completed missions earn teams the points they need to gain rank on the leaderboard and win the $300 first prize. During the chase, each team's standings are updated in real time and visible to other teams, creating a sense of urgency, much like wearing an hourglass in place of a wristwatch.ONLINEMarietta, GA US
The Big ChickenRead MoreOne of the more popular fast food restaurants in Marietta, The Big Chicken features superb chicken and tasty fast food. It's a local favorite for customers interested in fantastic food. Defined by its outdoor seating, The Big Chicken is a great option when you feel like soaking in some of those Georgia rays. It should be noted that casual attire is encouraged and though the prices are considered low, you won't sacrifice any quality. Its background noise can sometimes get a little loud. If you're in a hurry, you can always pull on up to its convenient drive-thru window. A good option in Lassiter Park, a trip to The Big Chicken is definitely worthwhile.12 Cobb Parkway NorthMarietta, GA US

Victoria Laurie doesn't just write about mediums. In addition to being a New York Times bestselling author, Laurie does psychic readings as well. One of her new novels, When, hits close to home with a story about a girl who sees the date someone is going to die, just by looking at them.
It's unfortunate that Maddie didn't understand what those numbers were in time to let her father know. She is now being raised by her mother who has become a severe alcoholic after her husband's murder. In order to help support the family, Maddie's mother sets up appointments where she can do readings for people who want to know when they or a family member will pass away.
While doing a reading, Maddie has to give a client sad news, and is met with skepticism and disregard. In an effort to help her client's child, she calls to repeat her plea to keep her son close on his death date. When the boy goes missing, Maddie comes under scrutiny as the prime suspect, and rumors about her involvement run rampant through her school, making her life miserable.
Laurie has created a fast-paced thriller that is hard to put down. When is a character driven novel sure to entice not only young adults, but anyone looking for a page-turner in the same vein as The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
It's hard to root against a 7-year-old named Millie Bird, the charming, precociously wise protagonist in Lost & Found, the heart-tugging debut by Australian author Brooke Davis. Millie just wants to find her mum, who has absconded from the large ladies' underwear section of a local department store. Fortunately, Millie crosses paths with two peculiar octogenarians who become the unlikely minders for the abandoned Millie. It falls to them to reunite the little girl with her wayward mom.
Millie desperately needs a "Dot Four" since her father has died and now her grief-stricken mother has disappeared. Connecting the three dots from mom to dad to herself meant Millie felt safe. But now the red-gumboot-wearing, curly headed youngster is obsessed with dead things and carries a "just in case" glass jar around. She finds herself on a bumpy road trip through Western Australia suburbia with two elderly companions, who are also thinking about death but for different reasons. Karl the Touch Typist nervously types letters in the air as he speaks. He misses his dead wife. Millie's neighbor, the sad and grumpy Agatha, has not left her house since her husband died seven years ago. "How do you get old without letting sadness become everything?" wonders Agatha. Indeed, it's but one of many questions asked in Davis' irresistible story that fuses the psychological reservoirs of grief with humor and the hopefulness of youthful perspective.
A suggested book club selection, Lost & Found may appear as a lighter read from its colorful, whimsical cover, but don't be fooled. Inspired by events in the author's own life, the novel was born out of a doctoral thesis on grief. Davis, whose own mother died suddenly in 2006, was "relearning the world" too, like her three distinctly voiced characters. With steady pacing and brief sectioned chapters, Lost & Found will strike a chord with anyone who has ever considered the many forms of missing someone and the different shapes of acceptance. Fans of The Rosie Project by fellow Australian author Graeme Simsion may also want to give this strong first effort a try.
Michael Pitre's Fives and Twenty-Fives is the perfect book for customers clamoring for their holds on Phil Klay's National Book Award-winning collection Redeployment. Like Klay, Pitre is also a former Marine who served in Iraq before returning home to chronicle his thoughts in writing, using fiction to reveal the realest truths.
Fives and Twenty-Fives reads as an assemblage of harrowing experiences Pitre survived while on active duty, told through three characters whose stories are woven into a moving novel. These three Marines comprise a portion of an Iraq Road Repair Platoon that sweeps U.S. military routes through the desert in search of hidden explosives. Donovan, the lieutenant, tries to lead and represent his squad while combatting the weight of self-loathing and the isolation of rank amidst imminent ambush. Lester "Doc" Pleasant is the platoon's medic responsible for the lives of his teammates, but after witnessing a Marine overlook a live bomb, he resorts to his field kit for solace. Road Repair's interpreter is an intelligent third-world post-grad named Kateb, known as callsign "Dodge" by his platoon. Dodge harbors an internal war between morality and loyalty that keeps him distanced from the Marines. Whenever his wall of superficiality is breached by violence, Dodge folds into a disheveled copy of Huck Finn and reflects on the university life that was stolen from him.
With a supporting unit of strongly humanized soldiers, Road Repair wages perpetual war with scorching desert conditions and treacherous insurgent traps. Pitre illustrates these losing battles without overwhelming readers with military jargon or trivializing the emotions and dispatches. Even with checks like fives and twenty-fives in place, it's impossible to return from deployment unscathed.
The most prestigious awards for teen and children's literature were announced by the American Library Association (ALA) in Chicago today. Awards were given in a wide range of categories that covered all formats and age levels. You can find a complete list of awards, winners and honorees on the ALA website.
The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. This year's winner is The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend written and illustrated by Dan Santat. This beautifully illustrated tender tale of one imaginary friend waiting patiently to be picked by a child will captivate young readers with its creative spark.
The oldest of the medals awarded, the John Newbery Medal, is awarded to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. This year's medal recipient is Kwame Alexander for The Crossover, a novel in verse sharing the coming-of-age story of twins Josh and Jordan and their changing lives on and off the basketball court.
The Michael L. Printz Award annually honors the best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit. This year's winner is I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, the story of twins (again!) Noah and Jude, their fractured relationship and attempt to recover what they once had.
The Coretta Scott King Awards are given to outstanding African-American authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults that demonstrate an appreciation of African-American culture and universal human values. Christopher Myers received the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award for his vibrant collage combinations of paint, paper and photographed elements which bring to life the inspirational story of a budding ballerina in Firebird, written by Misty Copeland. Jacqueline Woodson, already the recipient of the National Book Award, was awarded the Coretta Scott King Author Award for Brown Girl Dreaming, her lyrical novel in verse of her childhood in the 1960s and 1970s.
Check out the winners and honorees at BCPL!
Sometimes the Wolf: A Novel by Urban Waite is about a small town sheriff and his son. Thinking about Andy Griffith? Only if Andy is in jail for dealing drugs, Opie's married and a deputy himself, Barney Fife is in charge and Aunt Bea doesn't exist. In other words, this isn't Mayberry.
Bobby Drake, deputy in Silver Lake, Washington, has a lot on his plate. He is tracking a rogue wolf through the Cascade Mountains, his marriage is strained and his father Patrick, a former Silver Lake sheriff, is newly free on parole after serving 12 years for his part in a drug smuggling ring. He is also moving in with Bobby. Add in a DEA agent who is determined to pin an unsolved murder and theft of a few hundred thousand dollars on Patrick, as well as a chilling pair of escaped convicts who are chasing after both Patrick and the money, and Bobby is stressed. Trying to understand why his father, an officer of the law, became a criminal strains the relationship between the two men to the point of breaking.
Waite's writing is sometimes compared to Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, with his matter-of-fact prose and tense stories which march along a seemingly inevitable path of increasing violence, creating a sense of both dread and anticipation for the reader. Loyalty and vengeance propel this father and son thriller as Sometimes the Wolf reveals that redemption can come when least expected.
The rugged terrain of Derbyshire provides a melancholy backdrop for Already Dead by Barry Award winner Stephen Booth. The summer rains bring mud, floods and a corpse laying in a shallow ditch. Detective Diane Fry, substituting as team leader for the absent Ben Cooper, gloomily ponders a crime scene as it is inexorably swept downstream. There is more bad news: the victim is an unassuming insurance agent who lives at home with his mother and doesn't have enough of a personality to like or dislike. Who would want to kill such a person? Struggling to inspire loyalty from another detective's team, Diane remembers the qualities that make Ben Cooper such a good detective and wonders where in the world he is.
Tragically, Ben Cooper lost his fiancée while they were both investigating a crime scene. Trapped in a fire, Ben desperately attempted to reach her, only to be overcome by smoke and flames. Recovering from his injuries, he is trapped in a nightmare of memories of that deadly night and his single-minded resolve to gain justice for his murdered fiancée. For murder it was – it was arson. Deliberate, callous, reckless disregard for human life to make a profit. But the law doesn't always provide redress, and the guilty sometimes go free. Devastated, Ben spends his days roaming the Dales, biding his opportune moment for revenge.
This taut police procedural featuring Detective Sergeants Diane Fry and Ben Cooper is the 13th entry in the series. While the other offerings in this series are all equally satisfying, this work could read as a standalone, as the author provides a vivid portrayal of the preceding events. Booth consistently provides deep insight into the inner workings of the British constabulary, particularly the plight of the more rural districts. Well-drawn characters, compelling moral situations and good old-fashioned police work can always be found in Booth's work. Fans of Peter Robinson, Elizabeth George and Ruth Rendell will find a new friend in this author.
Acclaimed Australian author Colleen McCullough died at age 77 following a long illness. McCullough wrote over 20 novels during the span of her long career, which began with the publication of her first book in 1974. Her most recent novel, Bittersweet, shared the story of four sisters navigating love, life and loss in 1920s Australia.
It's the mega blockbuster, The Thorn Birds, for which McCullough will be most remembered. A sweeping romantic saga spanning three generations of an Australian family, it was the most talked about book of its day and sold 30 million copies worldwide. The paperback rights alone sold for $1.9 million, and the miniseries featuring Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward and Barbara Stanwyck was the second highest rated miniseries of all time.
McCullough always stretched herself as a writer, trying her hand at different genres. Her mystery series featuring Carmine Delmonico, a police captain in a small Connecticut college town was critically well-received, and her Masters of Rome series, a seven-book, impeccably researched historical series, had fans in the political realm, including Henry Kissinger and Newt Gingrich. Explore her legacy...
Like members of our social circle, books occupy certain roles in our reading sphere. Goodnight Moon: the childhood friend you don't see these days, but whom you remember oh-so-fondly. Jane Eyre: that friend of many years who is there when you need her. A Game of Thrones: your current best bud who may actually end up standing the test of time.
If How to Be Parisian, Wherever You Are: Love, Style and Bad Habits were in your social circle, she would be that vivacious friend whom you adore, but also slightly fear — that glamourous, audacious, slightly selfish girl who challenges you to embrace your inner chic. She is intriguing, she is original, and she is not quite stable. She is who you would gladly be for a day… but no longer.
Like that friend, How to Be Parisian, by Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline De Maigret and Sophie Mas, is best enjoyed in doses.
The work of four friends, themselves bona fide Parisiennes, How to Be Parisian offers unique insights into the mind and character of the modern Parisian coquette. Engaging, mercurial and unapologetically egocentric, this quartet of Parisiennes cum authors might raise a few hackles with their blasé attitudes toward certain subjects covered, such as children as accessories or rules for keeping a lover on the side. At such times, the reader would do well to recall that, despite the title's suggestion, How to Be Parisian is not to be understood as an instruction manual for the reader's own life. Rather, it is a delicious opportunity to slip into the role of The Parisienne for an hour or so — with all her flaws, foibles and je ne sais quoi.
A caveat: Organization of theme is not this book's strong point. Pithy, engaging monologues, whimsical photography and lists upon lists are where this volume shines. The key to enjoying How to Be Parisian is to remain uncommitted, to dally as it were, among its pages. Flip open the table of contents, ignore the ostensible chapter headings, and select whichever of the enticing subject headings attracts you most. It's what a Parisienne would do.
Jonathan Sweetwater is a high-powered executive with two beautiful children and a gorgeous wife, Claire, in Mike Greenberg's My Father's Wives. Life is perfect until he comes home early one day and thinks he hears Claire in bed with another man in their guest room. Not bothering to open the door, he flees their home to grapple with this shattering event.
Rather than confront Claire head-on, Jonathan hires a private investigator to track her every move and embarks on a road trip to process this information and figure out his future. He decides to track down his father's ex-wives in order to learn more about the man who deserted him at age 9 who is now deceased. Percival Sweetwater was a respected and powerful five-time U.S. senator who was beloved by constituents, but had a little difficulty in remaining married. After Jonathan's mother, Percival married five more times, leading Jonathan to dub him a serial monogamist all while vowing never to adopt his cavalier approach to marriage. In connecting with each of the wives in his father's life, Jonathon seeks to learn more about this charismatic man, find out why he had so many wives and how he could have deserted his only child.
Greenberg, familiar to ESPN viewers as one-half of Mike & Mike in the Morning, tells this story with clean dialogue, interesting characters and detailed colorful settings from Aspen to Nevis to London. The engaging writing will keep readers intrigued until the very end as they, like Jonathan, are longing to know the truth of Claire's fidelity and discover the answers Jonathan found from all of his father's wives.
Diane Cook's stories in her debut collection Man v. Nature are similar to Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series in that they depict an end of the world in which conflict is more survivor-centric than cataclysm-centric. Cook accomplishes this feat repeatedly throughout her stories, with multiple instances of apocalypse serving as mere backdrops while her characters continue their lives unabated by cordiality. While Kirkman's tales ooze with gore, Cook's exude wonderment and danger in dazzling prose.
Premiere in Man v. Nature is "Moving On," the grim telling of a widow internment center that functions like an adult orphanage. The mood around the grounds is bleak enough that reality becomes overpowered and contorts to make room for places like this to exist as if they've been institutionalized. "Meteorologist Dave Santana" pits a woman against her own sexual desires as she tries everything to seduce her neighbor, a homely and less than upstanding weatherman. "The Mast Year" portrays a woman who is chosen by fate to share her good fortune with those in need, no matter the personal cost. She grapples with notions of sacrifice, unable to separate charity from obligation until she no longer recognizes her own life. Lastly, the titular "Man v. Nature" is the account of a man and his two friends who are stranded in a tiny lifeboat adrift on a vast lake. As exposure besets and their bodies atrophy, they reminisce and eventually curse one another for past transgressions until their misdirected anger threatens to become their undoing.
Man v. Nature's stories are all so convincing in their heavy fictitiousness that the reader never questions the altered existences. Emotions are so poignant that doubt never surfaces; rather, fingers are crossed, eyes are squeezed shut and knees are taken in supplication to will the characters to safety. But in Cook's worlds, safety may no longer exist, and instead readers are given deliciously unsettling new normalcies.

Pros: "Easy to drive, VERY safe and practical"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I purchased this car new back in 01/2005. I have never had an issue with this car and had almost 300K miles. The only thing major that happened was I needed a new water pump and timing chain and of course regular oil changes. This past Monday, 01/24/2013, my daughter and I were involved in a MAJOR car accident; both air bags were deployed and the entire engine folded. The police, EMT, and other first responders kept saying "your car did what it was supposed to do and it saved your life". I would recommend this car to the world, if only other cars were made as perfectly as this one, I think there would be more saved lives in car accidents."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 177,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Reliability, fit / finish, MPG, overall qulity"
Cons: "None. Solid car from a one-owner family."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"For the record, while I am the 3rd owner, I KNOW this car. My aunt was the original owner, my mom was the second and I am now the third. I know it has been maintained, but not religiously (i.e. regular oil changes but 6K intervals instead of 3K etcetera)... I have had this car for 4 years now and I use it regularly as my daily commuter. I still get a solid 30 MPG combined driving. I also have used it for multiple road trips with a family of 4 between CO / MO and between CO / AZ. While not nearly as comfortable as my Acura MDX, no trip was uncomfortable... The reliability has been incredible. The only road related issue was shortly after I bought it from my mom and we went from CO to AZ for a family vacation... Well, right before Crater Monument in AZ, the A/C slowed WAY down, almost to the point on not working. We enjoyed Crater Monument but we were lucky to find a shop right off the highway in Flagstaff open and they discovered that A), the interior air filter had never been changed (incredibly restricting air flow), and B), the A/C freon needed recharging. 90 minutes and $120 later, we were on our way, cool as cucumbers... Was that a design or reliability issue? NO! It was a mom and an aunt driving a car in AZ and CO heat / cold without ever changing cabin air filter, thus placing MUCH added pressure on AC unit. Is this a super comfy car? Well, no. That said, it's certainly not uncomfortable; its utilitarian. Its more comfy (both interior and ride) than my wife's '07 Honda Fit and my 2000 F-250 Super Duty, but its not nearly as comfy as my '03 Acura MDX, but hey, its not designed to be. Exterior has a little paint sealer flaking, but for its age and its lifetime in AZ / CO, that is to be expected. Considering it was never garaged until I purchased it, its actually pretty impressive. Interior? Effective, clean, comfy and QUALITY... This car has ZERO rattles, ZERO defects and is as quiet today as it was 11 years ago. Fantastic. While I LOVE Honda and Acura, I will submit that my experience leads me to believe that Toyota has a slight interior quality edge. No black eye for Honda, but Toyota's have (for me) been a little more solid that Honda's in my experience. Final summary: Excellent car. My son will be driving it in 3 years (unless I give him the MDX), MPG fantastic, reliability is bullet proof, comfort is good, fit and finish is excellent, interior is clean, simple and easy... Driving attitude is vanilla but I mean that as a compliment. I mean, its a Corolla not a 911 4S or BMW 5, you know? I would highly recommend this little car for commuting, running kids to kung fu / gymnastics, grocery getting and mid-distance (900-1200 miles) family travel. Great little car."

overall rating 10 of 10rating details
"I have nothing but good things to say about my Corolla. First off, it is extremely fuel efficient, averaging 30-35 in the city. Secondly, Forbes magazine named it as one of the cheapest vehicles to own of 07'. It is only bested by the Honda Fit...which is marginally cheaper to own. Total Cost of Ownership is LOW. I suppose that it is also worthy to mention that I will never have to change a timing belt...as this vehicle has a permanent timing chain...that lasts the life of the engine. Gotta love it!! This is an all aluminum, highly advanced motor engine... Kudos Toyota!! Power is great, as is comfort and handling. I give it a thumbs up. It also maintains it's resale value very well. People will pay top dollar for this thing, seeing our current fuel prices."

Previous: Numeric Formatting Styles, Up: Input and Output Formats
These functions provide the ability to convert data fields into
union values and vice versa.
Parses input as a field containing data in the given format type. The resulting value is stored in output, which has the given width. For consistency, width must be 0 if type is a numeric format type and greater than 0 if type is a string format type.
Ordinarily legacy_encoding should be
LEGACY_NATIVE, indicating that input is encoded in the character set conventionally used on the host machine. It may be set to
LEGACY_EBCDICto cause input to be re-encoded from EBCDIC during data parsing.
If input is the empty string (with length 0), output is set to the value set on SET BLANKS (see SET BLANKS) for a numeric value, or to all spaces for a string value. This applies regardless of the usual parsing requirements for type.
If implied_decimals is greater than zero, then the numeric result is shifted right by implied_decimals decimal places if input does not contain a decimal point character or an exponent. Only certain numeric format types support implied decimal places; for string formats and other numeric formats, implied_decimals has no effect. DATA LIST FIXED is the primary user of this feature (see DATA LIST FIXED). Other callers should generally specify 0 for implied_decimals, to disable this feature.
When input contains invalid input data,
data_inoutputs a message using
msg. If first_column is nonzero, it is included in any such error message as the 1-based column number of the start of the field. The last column in the field is calculated as first_column + input - 1. To suppress error output, enclose the call to
data_inby calls to
This function returns true on success, false if a message was output (even if suppressed). Overflow and underflow provoke warnings but are not propagated to the caller as errors.
This function is declared in data/data-in.h.
Converts the data pointed to by input into a data field in output according to output format specifier format, which must be a valid output format. Exactly format
->wbytes are written to output. The width of input is also inferred from format using an algorithm equivalent to
data_outis called, or
data_out_legacyis called with legacy_encoding set to
LEGACY_NATIVE, output will be encoded in the character set conventionally used on the host machine. If legacy_encoding is set to
LEGACY_EBCDIC, output will be re-encoded from EBCDIC during data output.
When input contains data that cannot be represented in the given format,
data_outmay output a message using
msg, although the current implementation does not consistently do so. To suppress error output, enclose the call to
data_outby calls to
This function is declared in data/data-out.h.

jobs to yield better fits between their abilities and job demands (e.g., Swaen et al., 2002). There are probably many cases of accommodative activities in place throughout the workforce.
The existing scientific literature has significant limitations intrinsic to population surveys, field studies, and laboratory experiments. We often rely on metanalytic studies, for example, to help ensure better inference, but these have weaknesses, for instance, the choice of rules for inclusion and exclusion of studies in the analysis and the fact that studies with nonsignificant findings tend not to be published. However, metanalyses do provide an efficient way to estimate effect sizes across studies (e.g., Schmidt, 1996).
An important theme is the need to consider increased age as contributing to counterbalancing trends. Aging processes tend to lower overall general functional capacity. Increased age is also associated with increased experience that tends to raise experience-related functional capacities. These two aspects of age may trade off, particularly when experience leads to skill and expertise, a point stressed in some of the earliest literature in this field (e.g., Welford, 1958).
Training and retraining seem particularly relevant for older workers, who are likely to be the most distant from initial professional training and from initial job training (Sparrow and Davies, 1988). Whether older workers are particularly in need of training and retraining can be addressed from the perspective of two outcome criteria: productivity and safety. To the extent that age discrimination exists in work settings, it may be driven by perceptions that older workers are less productive.
Cross-sectional metanalyses show no relation between age and job productivity (McEvoy and Cascio, 1989; Waldman and Avolio, 1986). This outcome is surprising in view of the ubiquitous laboratory-based findings of age-related declines in basic perceptual and cognitive abilities and in problem-solving performance on novel tasks (see Chapter 5). Productivity is typically measured using work output measures or peer and supervisor ratings of performance. One explanation for the apparent lack of an association between age and productivity is that, as mentioned previously, increased age is associated with the acquisition of job-specific knowledge and skills that compensate for age-related declines in general abilities (Salthouse and Maurer, 1996).
Another possibility is that the cross-sectional comparisons involve a mix of younger workers with varying skills and older workers with estab-

Elusive 1903 Louisiana/Jefferson1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson PR66 NGC. The commemorative Louisiana Purchase-Jefferson and McKinley gold dollars of 1903 were the brainchild of numismatic huckster-former ANA president Farran Zerbe, whose overpromotion of the pieces led to many collectors losing money on their purchases (issue price $3) and wholesale melting of much of the issue of 250,000 coins as unsold. Only 35,000 were actually distributed, 17,500 of each design. Only 100 pieces each in proof format were struck, and they are seldom seen. The present Premium Gem is unmistakable as a proof striking, with deeply reflective fields, squared-off rims, and cameo contrast obvious on the obverse, less so on the reverse. A couple of tiny planchet flaws in the right obverse field are as struck. NGC has seen nine submissions in the PR66 grade, plus three numerically finer PR67 Cameo and Ultra Cameo coins (9/12).

Hamas condemned U.S. President Barack Obama's speech to AIPAC on Sunday, saying it will not recognize Israel despite U.S. demands.
In his second Mideast speech, Obama reaffirmed U.S. support for Israel and called on the Gaza-rulers to recognize Israel's right to exist, as well as free abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit. He also condemned the recent Fatah-Hamas reconciliation agreement.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri was quoted by Ma'an news agency as saying that Obama's speech showed the U.S. government will continue "to support the occupation at the expense of the freedom of the Palestinian people."

To those who don't believe in man-made global warming, I would say this: even IF the increase in global temperatures is entirely natural and we can't do squat about it, we should still be cutting down on our fossil fuel usage. Burning fossil fuels pollutes the environment (it's not just CO2 that gets released), makes us dependant on those who have oil- including the middle east, and destroys a non-renewable resource.
