Area youngsters, who enjoy fishing, will be able to participate in the final fishing competition at Fort McPherson, in East Point, this weekend, according to a media relations officer for the installation.
Fort McPherson will host its free, 11th Annual "Youth Fishing Rodeo," on Saturday, Oct. 16, from 8 a.m., until noon, at Lake No.1, at the fort, said Peter Chadwick. This will be Fort McPherson's final Youth Fishing Rodeo, he said. The fort's final day will be on Sept. 15, 2011, when it will close, as part of the federal government's base realignment program.
"Every time we do something and it's the last thing ... there is a little bit of sadness involved ... It's a great post," said Chadwick. "I hate to see the old girl go. The installation has been around since 1885." The spokesman said the event is for children, 13 years of age, and younger, in families who are members of active duty military personnel, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard members, military retirees, Department of Defense civilians in the military communities at Fort McPherson and Fort Gillem, and civilian residents of the City of East Point.
The children will be separated into age groups, which include 6 years of age and younger; 7-through-10 years old, and 11-through-13 years old.
Participants must bring rods and their own bait, according to Chadwick. "They generally bring worms," he said.
Children must be escorted by an adult during the event. Chadwick said the fishing area will be marked off, and youngsters will fish from 8:30 a.m., to 11 a.m., he said.
The lake will have catfish and bream for children to catch, he added.
He said judges will weigh the total amount of fish caught by each young angler. The child whose total catch weight is the heaviest will be the winner.
Chadwick said if there is a tie, judges will count the number of fish the final two anglers caught. The child with the highest number will be awarded first place.
"Each angler may want to bring their own drinking water -- sodas and snacks will be provided," said Chadwick.
Awards will be given for first-, and second-place finishers only, he said. Children who don't place will receive giveaways. Eligible families interested in participating must have a driver's license and an identification for all vehicle occupants, a vehicle registration and proof of vehicle insurance.
Fort McPherson is closing due to the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, said Chadwick. He said he does not know, at this time, why the installation was chosen for closure in 2005.
"We haven't got a real firm grip on that ... I don't know why, specifically, but it is because of [federal] budget issues," he said.

Bruno Bond and Steve Cruz are two of the hottest properties in gay porn. Hardfriction is shot with new, fresh faces around the USA, Europe and Australia.
When Bruno and Steve found out they were traveling to Sydney, they knew that they had to meet up with Remy Delaine. The three had a dinner together and Bruno and Steve asked Remy back to their hotel for dessert. Remy started his career in porn as a smooth young man. He is now very muscled, hairy and even more masculine. Bruno takes some photos of Remy stroking his thick, uncut cock as Steve films them. Bruno joins Remy on the bed and they kiss as Steve plays with Remys cock. Steve passes the camera to Bruno as Remy sucks Steves hard dick and eats his hairy hole. They trade back so Remy can go to work on Brunos cock. Next, it is Remys turn to film as Steve and Bruno work on his big meat together. Remy lies back as Steve sits down and rides his cock in ecstasy until he shoots his load. Satisfied, he takes the camera back and films Remy pounding Brunos hairy ass until both men blow their loads together

Watershed Election in Cambodia?
Last week, in advance of Cambodia's national elections, I noted that the election was a foregone conclusion, given that the long-ruling Cambodian People's Party, led by increasingly autocratic prime minister Hun Sen, had awarded itself so many advantages in advance of the actual voting day. The opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party managed to overcome many of these obstacles, and the tally of fifty out of 120 parliamentary seats that it has won—the tally of CNRP seats that the government's spokesman admitted the opposition won—is shockingly high, given the huge barriers placed in its way. These barriers included possible CNRP voters simply being turned away from registering to vote, hundreds of thousands of people deleted from the voter rolls, state media devoting almost no time to anyone but the CPP in the run-up to the election, attacks on CNRP supporters, and much more thuggery.

Product Description
It's a writer's job to create compelling characters who can withstand life's fallout without giving up. But building authentic, memorable heroes is no easy task. To forge realistic characters, we must hobble them with flaws that set them back while giving them positive attributes to help them achieve their goals. So how do writers choose the right blend of strengths for their characters--attributes that will render them admirable and worth rooting for--without making it too easy for them to succeed?
Character creation can be hard, but it's about to get a lot easier.
Inside The Positive Trait Thesaurus, you'll find:
* A large selection of attributes to choose from when building a personality profile. Each entry lists possible causes for why a trait might emerge, along with associated attitudes, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions
* Real character examples from literature, film, or television to show how an attribute drives actions and decisions, influences goals, and steers relationships
* Advice on using positive traits to immediately hook readers while avoiding common personality pitfalls
* Insight on human needs and morality, and how each determines the strengths that emerge in heroes and villains alike
* Information on the key role positive attributes play within the character arc, and how they're vital to overcoming fatal flaws and achieving success
* Downloadable tools for organizing a character's attributes and providing a deeper understanding of his past, his needs, and the emotional wounds he must overcome
If you find character creation difficult or worry that your cast members all seem the same, The Positive Trait Thesaurus is brimming with ideas to help you develop one-of-a-kind, dynamic characters that readers will love. Extensively indexed, with entries written in a user-friendly list format, this brainstorming resource is perfect for any character creation project.

Aug. 5 (Bloomberg) -- One51, a Dublin-based investment company, has pulled the sale of its plastics business that was expected to raise around 50 million euros ($62 million), the Sunday Business Post reported, without saying where it got the information.
The company decided to pull the sale because of the price and conditionality of the deal, the Dublin-based newspaper reported.

From Heathrow to Orlando Via NewrkDec 26, 20141I will be flying in from London Heathrow to arrive at Newark on Sunday at 2pm with just 90 minutes to catch my connection to Orlando. My question is which terminal do flights from London usually land in, and does the baggage have to be re checked in at all times, even if there is no need to change terminals. I will be flying to Orlando from terminal C.AKhatFri, Dec 26
Terminal c to terminal BDec 26, 20142From Orlando to Newark by United, landing at terminal C. Then to go to terminal B to catch Lufthansa. Less than 2 hours time will we make it?JayaramThu, Dec 25Flying from Orlando by United, to go to India via Newark by Lufthansa. Security clearance neede?SJThu, Dec 25
Connecting time from Term. B to AJan 7, 20155Hi, I´ll be travelling with United on March 19 ( a Thursday) from Berlin , Germany via Newark to Charleston, SC with my 6 year old. The flight times have just been changed so the connecting time will be only 1:35, including immigration and baggage. Arrival is Term. B, connecting flight Term. B. United says that should be enough time..I´m a bit sceptical. Should I run the risk or book a later flight to Charelston 6,5 hrs. later? Anybody with some good advice?AMTue, Dec 23I think you have a good chance of making it. However, note that the flight from Berlin to Newark frequently makes a fuel stop and arrives several hours late during the winter. Because of that you might want to ask for the later flight, which they should give you because of the schedule change.ZAPTue, Dec 23Thanks for the prompt reply! A fuel stop? I was under the impression it was a direct flight? How often does this happen? Yes, they would give me the later flight if I change my mind within the next 2 days, but they also said I could take the risk of missing the earlier flight and then change to the later flight if I don´t make it. It is really hard to decide at this point.AMTue, Dec 23Yes, the Berlin-Newark flight makes a fuel stop about half the time and arrives 2-3 hours late during the winter. Yes those are your options.zapFri, Dec 26Hi ZAP,sorry to ask again, but I just realized that the connecting flight to CHS will be out of Terminal A, arrival from Berlin in B. Assuming there´s no need for a fuel stop (March 19 is almost spring, at least in Europe), and the kid and I really hurry, is there nevertheless the realistic chance of making the connection? Which means of transport do I take between terminals and where do I re-check in our luggage?AMWed, Jan 7
Terminal Connection A-CDec 18, 20142Hi there, I'm travelling in from Toronto landing at terminal A (Air Canada) I am having to transfer to terminal C to fly to Glasgow (United) What is the best way of doing this terminal change - Train or Bus? Do I need to clear security and customs to do this transit? Where does the bus/train leave from? Thanks for your help in advanceR&CThu, Dec 18You will pre-clear US Immigration and customs in Toronto. In Newark, you can't make that transfer inside security as the United shuttle bus from A to C leaves from a different pier of A than your Air Canada flight will arrive at. So the best route for you will be to take the AirTrain from A to C, then go through security and to your departure gate. Follow signs to the train.ZAPThu, Dec 18
minimum time for connecting flight to flightJan 7, 20153I am from Costa Rica. It is this enough time for a connection at Newark Airport? or is it too risky? United Airlines - (UA) 1081 12:35pm, Thu Jan 15 • San Jose (SJO) 6:45pm, Thu Jan 15 • Newark (EWR) Layover: 1h 50m in Newark United Airlines - (UA) 82 8:35pm, Thu Jan 15 • Newark (EWR) 9:20pm, Fri Jan 16 • Delhi (DEL)RoViThu, Dec 18That is probably enough time. Both flights will be in Terminal C, but you will have to go through US Immigration and Customs and security in between flights.ZAPThu, Dec 18i am flying from Boston to Shanghai through Newark,both taking United Airlines. will arive at terminal C at 8:48am and leave at 9:55am at the same terminal.

Will my luggage be put thru to orlando or do I have to collect it at Newark***Tue, Dec 16Note that your first flight will be operated by Air Canada. You will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Calgary. In Newark you do not have to do anything with your baggage, just take the AirTrain from Terminal A to Terminal C and go through security. 30 minutes is barely enough time.ZAPWed, Dec 17
Terminal C to A. Assistance possible?Dec 18, 20144Hello Our two 13 year old daughters will be connecting from Oslo to Montreal, and will only have 1h30 to change from terminal C to A. 1) What exactly is to be expected, point by point? Will their suitcases have enough time to follow? Should they take the bus or the Air Train? 2) Could they seek any assistance from someone there to make their connection less stressful? My concern is a line up at the customs, and them being to shy to say they are in a hurry.JCLMon, Dec 15Forget my question about the luggage. I understand they will have to retrieve them before taking the Air Train. It will be faster if they keep their suitcases as cabin luggage.JCLMon, Dec 15If they only have cabin baggage, They will arrive in Terminal B or C (B is actually most likely), go through US Immigration and Customs, then take the AirTrain to their departure terminal, A. They have enough time if their first flight is on-time. There are no "guides" to help them through the process, but there are plenty of people around both working for Immigration and for the Airlines to help.ZAPMon, Dec 15Still unsure about the AirTrain thing. If they have to go from terminal C to terminal A (which is the case, not B) isn't it way easier and shorter for them to take the shuttle bus? Then they avoid all the hassle? They will be on United..JCLThu, Dec 18

That's rather strange. Are you sure your sound is turned on? If yes, can you press F1 while running the game and tell me if the "Play BGM and ME" box is ticked on?
Also, is there someone else with this error?
About the other bug, is the old savefile the savefile from an old version?
If it is, go to Users/[yournamehere]/Saved Games/Pokemon Deep Balance/ (assuming you're using Win7) and delete the files located there. The problem will probably be solved then. If it isn't there, search for Game.rxdata (make sure it's in a folder of Deep Balance!) and delete it.

The box is ticked and has always been ticked. No sounds still.
However, deleting the save file did repair the saving issues. But still no sound.

It's estimated that a man will shave 20,000 times in his lifetime. Even if he has the benefit of having his father show him the ropes, the experience of shaving is typically not a pleasant one. According to the American Dermatological Association, about 80% of men (and women) experience shaving irritation in the form of razor burn, razor scrape, nicks, cuts, bumps and ingrown hairs. In the US alone that accounts for about 200 million people.
Shaving technology definitely improved in 1903 when King Gillette began producing his first safety razors. However in the last 15 or so years we have seen the greatest advances in the past century when it comes to blade and shave formula technology. Gillette, Schick and a number of other companies make high–quality razors that significantly improve shaving.
Nonetheless, the razor is only half the equation when it comes to shaving. To experience a truly close and comfortable shave you also need a great shave formula like Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream. It's our number one selling product. It's a unique pre–shave oil and shave cream in one, making it a good value.
For best results we recommend first wetting your face with warm water. The strength of a strand of hair of hair is about one–third as great when wet as when dry. Smooth a quarter–sized amount of Hydroplane over wet beard area. Shave with a high quality razor as listed above. Add more warm water to beard area while shaving to activate Hydroplane's water–soluble, micro–silicone. This makes the formula slicker, enhancing razor glide. Add more Hydroplane if desired for greater protection. When done, rinse, pat dry with a clean towel and apply a good after–shave balm like Billy Jealousy Shaved Ice After Shave Balm to soothe and moisturize skin.
I hope you find the information I provided helpful. Good luck and good shaving!
Born in NYC, Pat Parsi started Billy Jealousy in 2004 in Dallas, Texas. Billy Jealousy has won over 15 magazine awards from such as prestigious publications as Esquire and Men's Health. Tailored for today's sophisticated bad boy, Billy Jealousy is sold in 800 locations in the US and in over a dozen countries outside the US.

BALTIMORE, Md. – The University of New Hampshire men's soccer team was edged by a score of 1-0 at eighth-ranked University of Maryland, Baltimore County Saturday night.
The loss was the first for the Wildcats in the last five games and puts UNH at 9-4-0 overall and to 3-1-1 in America East play while UMBC improves to 12-1-1 overall and to 3-0-1 in conference action.
The Wildcats opened up the offense as senior Robert Palumbo (Kingston, N.H.) fired a shot in the 17th minute that was blocked by the UMBC defense. UMBC's Pete Caringi countered with a header attempt in the 22nd minute, but the shot went wide to the left side of the goal.
Wildcat goalkeeper Travis Worra (Lancaster, Pa.) made his first save of the night in the 31st minute when Kadeem Darces took a shot from the left side of the net. The Retrievers notched a pair of consecutive shots in the 37th and 40th minutes of play, but both attempts were off target. Freshman Gunnar Ericsson (Atkinson, N.H.) ripped a shot from close proximity on the right side of the net, but the shot was just wide of the target.
With one half in the books, the score was deadlocked, 0-0.
UMBC took a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute of play as Mamadou Kansaye recorded the tally. Kansaye took a free kick from 20 yards out that just escaped the hands of Worra and found the back of the net. Worra remained resilient and kept the UMBC attack at bay as he denied Geaton Caltabiano.
Erik Martel (Bedford, N.H.) tried to get the Wildcats on the board in the 63rd minute, but his shot was blocked by the UMBC defense. Darces took aim at the UNH net in the 70th minute, but his close-range shot went high of the net.
Ugochukwu Uche (Ann Arbor, Mich.) nearly tied the game in the 73rd minute as he notched a header attempt, but UMBC goalkeeper Phil Saunders saved the shot. Worra came up with a pair of saves in the 78th minute as Caringi notched back-to-back shots to no avail. At the end of the second half, the Retrievers held on for the 1-0 victory.
Worra made four saves on the five shots he faced on the night. His record falls to 6-2-0. Saunders saved the only shot-on-goal attempt of the night he faced from the Wildcats as his record improves to 12-1-1.
The Wildcats remain on the road as they travel to Albany on Saturday, Oct. 26. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

The thirteen-year-old girl returns the glance with raised eyebrows and wide eyes. She doesn't look afraid or remorseful. She says nothing.
Everyone's here for Alisa -- a juvenile prosecutor, her defense lawyer, a court clerk, a sheriff's deputy, a deputy juvenile officer, the policeman who walked her in and Family Court Commissioner Anne-Marie Clarke. Like the other judges who rule the courthouse and kiddie jail on Vandeventer Avenue, Clarke has left her black robe at home. Instead, she wears a red dress; tiny braids hang to her shoulders.
"You keep coming back. Is this the only way you can keep seeing me?" Clarke asks the girl. What's the problem, Clarke wants to know.
Alisa doesn't answer, so her father does the talking. He shakes his head: "I can't figure it out."
Nobody disputes the fact that Alisa has problems -- big problems. By the time she was twelve, she'd pulled a knife on her disabled mom. She flies off the handle at the smallest slight. Her fists become weapons to win battles against people and family members who get in her way.
That behavior landed her in St. Louis City Juvenile Court for assault. In April 2002, Alisa was placed under supervision, on a suspended commitment to the Division of Youth Services, and sent home with a bunch of rules: 8:30 p.m. curfew, psychologist appointments, steady doses of medicine to control her outbursts, regular school attendance and monitoring by a DJO, or deputy juvenile officer.
Alisa's DJO takes the stand and brings the court up to speed. Alisa, he says, was doing "relatively well" when she was taking her meds (he doesn't say what kind). The problem is, she stopped.
"Do you think that's the problem, Alisa? You're not taking your medication?" Clarke asks.
The girl doesn't answer.
The DJO tells the court that Alisa's father has kept up his end of the bargain: He sees the psychologists and doctors. But Alisa hasn't kept her promises, and now that she's off her medicine, she's also walking out of the house, staying out all night. It's wearing on Alisa's father, who now wants to be relieved of custody of his daughter.
A box of tissues sits nearby. Neither Alisa nor her father reaches for it today.
Clarke keeps up the verbal pressure on Alisa: "You know you're supposed to be taking meds in the first place. Why aren't you?"
The girl won't answer; she won't look at the judge. She just shrugs. Clarke won't stop pressing. Finally Alisa says softly, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Clark is incredulous.
The commissioner listens to the lawyers as they debate Alisa's fate. Finally Clarke makes her decision. "We're gonna keep you here," she says.
"Here" is juvenile detention, the jail for children attached to the court for kids. It's obvious from Alisa's attire that that's where she's been for the past few days. The girls in detention wear light-yellow sweatshirts, mustard-yellow pants and plain white tennis shoes. Everything is government-issue: the clothes, the underwear, the bra, even the rubber band -- the color of chewed gum -- twisted around Alisa's short hair.
Alisa stands up and clasps her hands behind her back -- the position prisoners take before they are handcuffed. There are no goodbyes as she's taken to the cement holding cell where other girls wait.
And there will be other girls -- many, many girls:
Girls who lash out in self-defense, to assert independence, to remedy disrespect, to put down a rival or to get attention.
Girls who greet personal conflict with clenched fists and sharp objects.
Girls who increasingly find themselves answering for their behavior in the juvenile-justice system.
But now the system that makes girls own up to their behavior is also trying to come up with all-girl programs to keep them from coming back.
For more than a decade, St. Louis Circuit Judge Thomas Frawley has watched family dramas unfold. He spent the bulk of his judicial career presiding over divorces, child-support fights and domestic-violence disputes. About three years ago, the 56-year-old jurist traded adults for kids, taking over as the judge in juvenile court -- where punishment and reform, social work and criminal law collide. Juvenile court, Frawley says, "was set up long ago for boys," but it's no longer a boy's world. "There has been a serious increase in the number of girls" coming through the court, Frawley says, and it's for more than cutting class.
"Girls," he says, "are getting more violent."
And Alisa -- an angry, out-of-control preteen who pulls knives and throws punches -- is typical of the kind of girl Frawley and other juvenile judges are seeing.
It's not just a city phenomenon:

Bristol Rovers: Norburn's ready to show what he has to offer
Posted: December 07, 2012|
OLIVER Norburn looks set to put a frustrating four-week period behind him by getting an opportunity to reclaim a regular place in the centre of Bristol Rovers' midfield.
The former Chelsea and Leicester trainee has endured a stop-start beginning to his Bristol Rovers career after being brought in by Mark McGhee with the future in mind over the summer.
Norburn impressed during pre-season, but was forced to wait on the sidelines for a chance to start his first league game for the club until well over a month into the season as the likes of Matt Gill, Wayne Brown and Matthew Lund were all preferred by the manager.
The 20-year-old was finally given a start at Plymouth midway through September and was a focal point in a seven-game run that followed in which Rovers lost just once.
A poor display in defeat at Accrington Stanley at the end of October, however, forced the manager into a shake-up of which Norburn was one of the first casualties.
He has yet to start a game since, a period in which the midfielder has also missed three games through suspension after being sent off in the final few minutes of a match against Southend United.
A return from the bench was made in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Wycombe, however, and with Lund suspended and Gill struggling with a knee problem, Norburn looks set to be in contention to start his first game in over a month against Dagenham & Redbridge at the Memorial Stadium tomorrow.
Norburn said: "It has been a bit frustrating. I don't like being on the bench, but that is the manager's decision and as a player you have to accept that and get on with it.
"The manager picks the 11 he sees as the best to do the job on a Saturday and the only way I can convince him that I should be in the team is by showing him in training.
"I felt I've played well and performed when asked to this season and I'm just pleased to be back involved again."
Norburn, however, knows that he hasn't helped himself in terms of making himself unavailable for three games following his sending off in the 3-2 defeat against Paul Sturrock's side.
He added: "You learn your lesson from it when you are not allowed to play for three games because you are suspended. There's nothing worse than training all week and then being forced to watch a game on a Saturday when you are fit and raring to play.
"I didn't go in for the tackle with any intentions to hurt the lad. I'm 100 per cent committed to the cause and I was just focused on winning the ball. It was just one of those things that happens sometimes and I'll learn from it."
Rovers, meanwhile, could do with a result against John Still's side if they are to ease the pressure that comes with a poor run of form.
McGhee's side slipped to one place outside the relegation zone following last weekend's disappointing trip to Wycombe and Norburn said: "We're obviously down in a position we don't want to be in, so we really need to kick on now.
"The manager sets us up to do certain jobs before we go out and play and we need to take responsibility for seeing those instructions through when we are out on the pitch.
"We have to hold our hands up and say that we haven't been performing anywhere close to the standards we feel capable of, but we have a lot of good players in the squad."

Good Afternoon Everyone
Took DH to the doctor this morning for his monthly B-12 shot. Then had to go to the Hallmark store to pick up some cards.
In about 1/2 hour we will be back on the road -- this time I have to take DH to the eye doctor -- routine check-up -- but he hates those eye drops.
MAW -- I am prone to eye styes as well. I am presently treating one now -- have to bath the eye 4 times a day with warm compresses (keep on for 10 minutes) -- then I have a cream I have to apply -- Erythomycin Ophthalmic Ointment -- prescription from my eye doctor.
Everyone have a good day.
Cruising is a wonderful way to enjoy retirement.

Re: MAW'S MONDAY OFFICE RAMBLE
Morning Maw and ramblers all and welcome back to all of you from the California Coastal cruise! Hope you had a wonderful time.
It was a nice weekend here. The weather was sunny and warm...not hot but a lot warmer than it was last week. Jacket or sweater is still required for me though. It finally looks like spring...a few daffys and crocus and most of the grass has turned green. Loads of people out working in their yards this weekend so everything is looking very fresh.
I noted yesterday that the final payment for my cruise is coming up next month...and I am having a little bit of leaky eye disease knowing I will not be sharing all that joy, excitement and afterglow with Mary Ann. I'm missing her very much today.
Nothing but laundry on my agenda today...and of course my daily dose of caffeine at Timmy's. I'm going to finish up another scrapbook card today.
Have a wonderful day everyone. Stay safe and be happy in it!

Re: MAW'S MONDAY OFFICE RAMBLE
Afternoon Maw, Paw, Janpep and C@ Gang!!
We've been out today, running around doing stuff. One thing we did was to buy tickets to the Broadway production of CATS. We have a new auditorium here, called Skypac...and this is one of the professional shows they are bringing in this year. The show in on Mothers Day and we almost waited too long to get our tickets. The Matinee was sold out, and the 7:30 show is almost sold out. But we still snagged our 2 tickets. Going so late though we'll have something here at the house to eat before going.
The other day I bought tickets to see Roger Waters on tour doing The Wall. I am so pumped over being able to do this. It is in Louisville and we will go up, do the concert and then spend the night. I bought my son tickets to this tour in Oregon back in Dec. '10 and had forgotten that they were slowly making their way East. He called me this past Thursday and asked if I had bought my tickets. No. So, on Friday night I came home from work and did so. They were almost sold out. I got ours just in the nick of time. Yay!
Other than that, waiting for the big storm that is due here late this afternoon. Denny is taking his dad to the lung specialist tomorrow. They called him to see if he could come in tomorrow vs Thursday - I hope this is just because the doctor needed to reschedule and wanted to go on and get his stitches out earlier than later. Fingers crossed.
I think I will lie down on the couch and read a bit and maybe take a tiny nap. Although, I am not a good nap taker. Boo!
May 7th, 2012, 06:48 PM #16
Re: MAW'S MONDAY OFFICE RAMBLE
This is what we have to deal with....Den is taking his dad to the doctor tomorrow. His dad just called and said...don't tell your brother and sister. Denny said..Too late.
They've already made a pact that what One knows, the others know.Corky

Embedded within the Herndon Metro Station Area Plan is specific language instructing town staff to solicit Fairfax County for an improved transit system to transport commuters from the proposed new station into Herndon.
Last month, the Herndon Town Council officially approved a comprehensive plan amendment that allows enough transit-oriented development to be built in the next 25 years to accommodate about 15,000 employees and 4,700 residents — plus retail services to support a new community around a Metro station scheduled to go online in 2017.
Getting all those additional people around town, while mitigating their traffic footprint, is the focus of the language within that segment of the approved plan.
�Overall, we essentially want to minimize traffic impacts and public costs while maximizing transit-oriented development features and benefits to the town,� said Lisa Gilleran, Herndon�s Director of Community Development.
Two Herndon residents —one a former town councilman and the other the town�s vice mayor — have come up with a plan on how to accomplish this task.
The Herndon Internal Transportation System (HITS) was developed by former councilman Richard Downer and Vice Mayor Lisa Merkel, who said they got the idea from researching prior bus routes that used to run through the town.
They eventually proposed two new internal bus routes that could transport commuters from the proposed Metro station to downtown and other key population and commercial hubs throughout the town.
�HITS would give residents access to frequent, reliable public transportation to Metro, which gets people out of their cars and in turn lessens the burden on our roads and neighborhoods, particularly in the neighborhoods adjacent to the Metro Station area,� Merkel said.
According to Merkel, the bus system is designed to be accessible to the majority of the town�s residential areas, businesses and restaurants by having its stops all virtually within a quarter mile — or at most a half mile — of every major area of town.
�Properly planned and executed, and coupled with innovative ventures such as Capital Bike Share and Zip Cars, HITS could put Herndon on the map as the greenest station on the Silver Line; a suburban community where car-free living is a possibility,� Merkel said.
As for the cost, the plan nondescriptly calls for a combination of funding from the town, county, private developers and user revenues.
�State and Federal transportation grants would also be explored,� Merkel said.
Developer Bill Lauer, president of Tetra Partners, sees the system as a boon for the revitalization of Herndon.
�As a Metro commuter coming off the train into the Herndon station, I certainly hope, since I don�t have an automobile, that I will be able to go to town on a bus system,� he said hypothetically.
�The bus system is important to more than just the Metro commuter, however. It is also a marvelous vehicle to revitalize the downtown, give Herndon citizens a way to get around without a car and better utilize the new Metro station.�
According to officials, the town is considering HITS as a potential reality.
�For now, HITS remains in a study and discovery mode,� Gilleran said. �But it certainly is one possibility to link commercial hubs such as Elden Street, the downtown and Worldgate Drive with the proposed Metro station.�
Gilleran said Herndon soon will act in seeking county assistance in achieving some sort of internal transit system, be it HITS or perhaps an extension of the already existing Fairfax Connector bus system.
�Advocating for Fairfax County to include HITS as a portion of the Fairfax Connector routes planned for Phase 2 gives the Herndon residents and businesses transportation services tailored to our needs, paid for by the tax dollars Herndon property owners send to Fairfax County every year,� Merkel said.

What Causes COPD?
COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is the term doctors use for the overlapping problems of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. If you have either or both of these, you have COPD.
Chronic Bronchitis
With this breathing disorder, air passages in the lungs (bronchi) are inflamed. Mucus-producing glands in the bronchi enlarge and produce too much mucus, which triggers a cough. In chronic bronchitis, this cough lasts for at least three months in two consecutive years.
You are more likely to develop bronchitis if you:
Smoke tobacco.
Are exposed to air pollution.
Are exposed to airborne toxins in the workplace.
Have a history of frequent respiratory illnesses.
Live with a smoker.
Have an identical twin with chronic bronchitis.
This condition occurs when tiny air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are destroyed. The lungs can't contract fully and lose elasticity. Holes develop in the lung tissue, making the lungs less able to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. Breathing becomes inefficient and you may find yourself breathless most of the time. Many of the factors that can lead to chronic bronchitis also can lead to emphysema, particularly smoking and being exposed to secondhand smoke.
There is also an inherited form of emphysema in which the lungs lack a protective protein called alpha-1-antitrypsin. In this type of emphysema, lung damage can appear as early as age 30. This is decades sooner than smoking-related emphysema usually starts.
What Are the Symptoms?
People with COPD sometimes have symptoms of both chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Chronic Bronchitis
Symptoms of chronic bronchitis tend to appear in smokers after age 50. These symptoms persist and gradually worsen for the rest of the smoker's life, unless he or she stops smoking.
Your first symptom may be a morning cough that brings up mucus. At first, this cough may occur only during the winter months. As the illness progresses, the cough begins to last throughout the day and throughout the year, and produces more mucus.
Over time, some people with chronic bronchitis develop:
A continuous cough.
Rapid breathing.
A bluish tint to the skin from lack of oxygen.
Chronic bronchitis also makes you prone to frequent respiratory infections and to flare-ups of breathing difficulties that can put you in the hospital. These can be life-threatening. If heart failure develops, there may be swelling of the ankles, legs, and sometimes the abdomen.
Most cases of emphysema occur in smokers who are diagnosed in their 50s or 60s.
If you have emphysema, you may first feel short of breath during activities such as walking or vacuuming. Because lung function decreases slowly in emphysema, you may hardly notice as breathing becomes more and more difficult.
With time, you may develop:
Increased shortness of breath.
A tight feeling in the chest.
A barrel-like distended chest.
Constant fatigue.
Difficulty sleeping.
Weight loss.
When Should I Get Help?
See your doctor once a year to be checked for lung disease if you smoke or have any other risk of COPD.
If You Have COPD
If you have been diagnosed with COPD, call your doctor right away if:
It has become more difficult to catch your breath.
Your coughing has gotten worse, or you are coughing up more mucus.
You have signs of an infection, such as a fever.
What Can I Expect at the Doctor's?
If you visit your doctor with symptoms of COPD, he or she will take the following steps.
Medical History
Your doctor will ask if you smoke or if you used to smoke, and for how long. He or she also will ask whether you live with a smoker.
Your doctor also will want to know about your symptoms. This includes how easily you become winded, whether you cough frequently, and whether you produce mucus when you cough.

1. A couple days ago, pop seductress Lana Del Rey shared the artwork for her new single "West Coast," from her upcoming album Ultraviolence. It was sultry and super West Coast-y, with Lana staring longingly on the beach.
2. If you were lucky enough to attend Coachella over the weekend, she debuted the track in full Sunday night.
3. And finally, this morning, she released a full, official version of the song. It's amazing.
4. In some ways, it's standard Lana fare. Her signature vocals are backed by a slow, moody track.
But unlike her earlier releases, "West Coast" has a rock-tinged vibe, possibly hinting at a fresh direction she may take with Ultraviolence.
5. Ultraviolence doesn't have an official release date yet, but until then, you can listen to "West Coast" on repeat.

Leon Britton says Swansea know all about Bradford, because they used to be just like them!
LEON BRITTON insists there will be no complacency from Swansea in the Capital One Cup final at Wembley - because of their lower league roots.
For some of the lads who've been here a long time, the boot was on the other foot five or six years ago
But Britton, who almost crashed out of the Football League with the Welsh club 10 years ago, reckons his team-mates won't underestimate their League Two rivals.
"For some of the lads who've been here a long time, the boot was on the other foot five or six years ago," said the pint-sized midfielder.
"We were the team in League One or League Two trying to beat the teams in the higher divisions. A lot of the boys have played lower-league football so we'll know what to expect.
"Myself, Monks (Garry Monk), Ash (Ashley Williams) and Tatey (Alan Tate) - we've all been at that level and we are used to the football. It's tough.
"We'll know what to expect so, for the lads who might not be so sure, we'll give them a reminder."
He added: "Cup results this season have shown that anything can happen on the day, so there's no way we'll be complacent against Bradford.
"But I'm really looking forward to it, the first major cup final in the club's history.
"I've been at the club a long time and seen a lot of ups over the years since I first came."

How to Find a Psychic
How to find a real psychic & not get ripped off by fakes
Are YOU looking for a real psychic?
So was I! And I'm happy to tell you it's not impossible to FIND A REAL PSYCHIC!
But, it wasn't easy for me to find a real psychic, I GOT RIPPED OFF. And it hurt.
After lots of trial and error, and some help from friends that use psychics,
I put ALL MY EXPERIENCES AND EXPERTISE into an eBook that will HELP YOU FIND A REAL PSYCHIC!
For less than the cost of a 3 minute phone session with a psychic you can BUY THE EBOOK that will help you find the right psychic for YOU!
Hi, I'm Betsy, I'm glad you are here!
When I first started looking for a psychic I had no clue how to find a real one. I tried all kinds of services and visited many local psychics and fortune tellers near my home.
Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way how to find a real one, because I had no knowledge or experience at that sort of thing. In my experimentation with trying to find psychics I got taken by fake psychics who stole my money and robbed me of my trust. It hurt a lot. I was promised all sorts of things that never came close to happening. I paid for charms or to have bad spells and curses removed from me and my family. All with absolutely no effect or help at all.
Eventually, I found a group of friends that had shared my experiences. They had found real psychics who connected with them and helped them and whom my friends had good connections with. I learned from my friends the right way to check psychics to see if they were legitimate. After all the help from my friends, I eventually found the good psychics I desired, and I finally was happy.
I wrote the How To Find a Psychic eBook with my friends Craig, Cindy, William and several others to help you find a psychic, just the way we were helped. Everything I and my friends learned about finding a psychic we poured lovingly into this eBook.
"I was so confused, I didn't know what psychic to trust. I was feeling bad because I kept getting taken by all sorts of people claiming to have the gift. I tried some psychics near me in town, but didn't feel like they were very accurate.
I was looking for a way to figure out who I could trust. I downloaded the eBook and was pretty surprised. It has sections that asked me questions about what I was looking for, how comfortable I felt with phone or chat, and other questions. I answered them and totaled my score to figure out who to go to. What a change! For the first time I knew who I needed to reach, how I wanted to interact with them, and what kinds of psychic help I needed.
I am so happy I came across this website and used the eBook, it helped me find a really good psychic! I'm happy now, and I have a great psychic to rely on. Thank you!"

Why We Wrote How To Find a Psychic
My friends and I looked all over the internet to try to find an eBook or workbook that would help us find a psychic. We never found one! So we eventually decided to write our own. We put our experience and knowledge into the eBook which we call: How To Find a Psychic.
We want to help you hopefully stay away from potentially getting ripped off. Our goal is to give you all the tips and techniques we used so that you can find a psychic you need who helps you, and connects with you.
"I was using a psychic for over a year who sold me charms and spells. She did that she said to stop certain members of my family who she said were using evil spells against me. After I had wasted a lot of money I realized that nothing I or she had been doing was working. Eventually my sister intervened and got us all talking again. The psychic claimed it was from the spells she gave me but I knew it was my sister and the spells didn't work at all.
I was trying to find a new and hopefully real psychic when I found this eBook. I only wish I had found it earlier, it was such a big help!
I have my new psychic, and so far everything she has been telling me has come to pass. I'm so much happier now, my life feels so much more in control and my family issues are thankfully behind me!"

Tina "I had no idea how to find a real psychic who could help me. I had lots of questions, and there's just not much information out there. I had friends who told me about their psychics, but somehow I never felt very connected to them. I didn't feel comfortable talking to them and wasn't sure their predictions were accurate.
I eventually found this workbook and it has made a big change! I completed each section, and when I was done I had such a better idea about the right psychic for me! I discovered that I was more comfortable with email and chat readings. So when I searched for psychics I looked for ones that offered chat.
What a difference! I feel so much better now that I've found the right psychic! The eBook was a big help and I'm so glad I took the time to use it!"
Tina Anderson
For less than the cost of a 3 minute phone session with a psychic you can buy the eBook that will help you find the right psychic for YOU!
The "How to Find a Psychic" workbook is divided into 7 sections, including:
- Section 1 – What are your goals? What are you trying to accomplish by seeking a psychic?
- Section 2 – Your Personality: Your personality is a key component of finding a good psychic. Are you more comfortable talking over the phone, going in person, using email, or skype?
- Section 3 – Your Type of Psychic: What type of psychic interests you?
- Section 4 – Your Timeline: How often do you think you may need to go seek the psychic's advice? Short term issues may be handled by one type of psychic, longer term issues another type.
- Section 5 – The Psychic's References: A good psychic, just like a good landscaper or interior decorator, will have good references for you to contact.
- Section 6 – Calling the References: Once your prospective psychics have provided you with references, you must do the next part and contact those references. This section makes that easy and fun.
- Section 7 – Your Feelings about the Psychic: According to Char Margolis, a famous psychic, everyone possesses the ability to have intuition, a way to tap into the universe's psychic energy. If your intuition is telling you to be cautious, or that you don't have a real psychic, then carefully consider your alternatives.
Pictures of our How to Find a Psychic eBook
I always like to review something before I buy it, especially a book or magazine. If you are like me and feel the same we have included some screen captures of our eBook. These screen shots of our eBook give you an idea of the information and detail we took to make sure you had the best tool possible to help you find your psychic.
How much would you pay to find the psychic that's right for you?
A good psychic is going to cost about $9 or so a minute! I ended up paying a lot of money, hundreds and hundreds of dollars to be exact, before I eventually found psychics I could connect with and who helped me. I can't tell you how much money I wasted on fakes! Probably hundreds and hundreds of dollars, maybe over a thousand dollars.
I wanted to take that kind of pain away from others. So I created this eBook with my friends with all our knowledge and expertise. It took a long time. We finally finished it with the intention of selling it for $29.95, which is much cheaper than a single call to a psychic whom you may not know and may not connect with.
But I felt like that wasn't good enough. I wanted to make it so cheap that anybody could easily pay for all the expert tips and information we provided. My friends took some convincing, but we have agreed to temporarily price our eBook at only $19.95. At that price, it barely covers our costs, but I don't care as I think it is just too important to help others find a real psychic.
For less than a 3 minute call with a psychic, you can buy this book to help you find the psychic that's right for YOU!
