Depot, Boxcar Restoration Project Nearly Complete
A multi-year restoration project of the historic GM&O Depot will be completed this fall. After serving as the headquarters for the department's Historic Preservation Division from 1984 to 2006, the depot is set to become the new home of the Museum Division, as well as the Mississippi Heritage Trust.
"We are looking forward to the staff being together for the first time in years, as well as being closer to the main campus of the department where most of our work takes place," said division director Lucy Allen. The Museum Division has occupied temporary office space beside the new farmer's market on High Street since 2005, when damage from Hurricane Katrina forced them out of the Old Capitol Museum.
The GM&O Depot sits between the Charlotte Capers Archives and History Building and the Naval Reserve Building. It was constructed for the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad in 1927 and partially remodeled along Art Moderne lines in 1939. The depot provided passenger rail service until 1954 but was abandoned in 1972.
As part of the project, the French Merci boxcar has been moved from its platform behind the War Memorial Building and will be restored. The historic wooden train car was given in gratitude to Mississippi by France following World War II. The ten-ton boxcar was raised using a lift and carefully transported on a flat-bed trailer around the block and to the depot. A full restoration of the boxcar, also known as a 40 and 8 car because it would accommodate forty men or eight mules, has begun.
The Depot restoration project, which is being funded through the Community Heritage Preservation grant program, will not only provide much-needed operations space for staff, it will allow for the boxcar and depot to be interpreted together, showcasing both as a significant part of Mississippi's rail history. Once the historic wooden boxcar is restored, a canopy will be built to protect it from the elements. Forty of the objects from the Merci train are still in the department's permanent collection for display in the planned Museum of Mississippi History.

Gear Question
Am I reading the sizing right? If I wear...
Am I reading the sizing right? If I wear a US size 9 shoe then does that mean size L/XL?
Chris Kelly
John in MD
The sizing chart is way off. I got the XXL to go on my 10.5-11 feet. The socks were way huge. The L/XL fit exactly.
Bikin' Bikin'
I'm a US 9.5/10, I bought the L/XL and the heel cup marking (where sock is different color at heel) ends up covering my Achilles tendon when pulled up tight enough to prevent bunching around my toes. I bought the Medium and had a perfect fit.
Castelli is bizarre fit wise. Socks are typically much larger and shorts/jerseys much smaller. I'm a huge Castelli fan, just takes trial and error trying to get the best fit. Don't get me started on the way Castelli full zip jerseys vs. 1/2 zip jerseys fit....

Today is Jazz Day, as established last year in a proclamation made by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
That organization proclaimed, in part, that "jazz has spoken eloquently of freedom for people in the United States and abroad, and has become an international language that bridges differences and brings people of all races, ages, and backgrounds together."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Hizzoners and Herhonners from all over the U.S. encourage mayors everywhere "to plan jazz related activities and programming."
So what's your mayor doing to further the cause of America's classical music? Anything? What's my mayor, Pam Iorio of Tampa, doing?
Hey, mayors, don't fret if you've yet to make plans to show your support for jazz. It's not too late. Your colleagues also urge you "to build partnerships with their local jazz society and other members of the arts and music community in their cities to proclaim, to participate in, Jazz Day April 9, 2010 and to celebrate the month of April as Jazz Appreciation Month."
Jazz Appreciation Month, by the way, was established in 2001 by the Smithsonian.
So, Mayor Iorio (contact her here), have you connected yet with our local jazz societies? St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster (contact him here), this message is for you, too.
The Tampa Jazz Club is based in Tampa, and holds events in Hillsborough County. The Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association is based in St. Petersburg and holds events in Pinellas County. Both organizations draw their memberships from throughout the Tampa Bay area.
Instead of just waiting for the mayors to get busy, jazz fans can support the cause by taking these seven simple steps, some of which ought to be obvious.
1)Go hear live jazz in your town. Patronize venues that offer live jazz.
The Palladium in St. Petersburg, for example, is serious about putting high-end jazz on its stages. Recent examples: Singers Sophie Milman and Whitney James, and drummer Ronnie Burrage.
The April music calendar in the Tampa Bay area features several notable shows by nationally known jazz artists:
- Tonight, guitarist Pat Metheny brings his Orchestrion tour to Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater (my story is here), while the phenomenal Afro-Cuban pianist Omar Sosa will lead his Afreecanos Quartet, featuring Senegalese singer vocalist Mola Sylla, in a concert at the Largo Cultural Center.
- Sunday afternoon (April 11), the Helios Jazz Orchestra will be joined by singer Belinda Womack at the Palladium.
- Saturday, April 17, the Dixieland Meets Swing show brings Bobby Tess and the Dixie Chaps and The Original All Stars to the Palladium.
- Sunday, April 18, I'll be leading a trio, with vibraphonist Sam Koppelman and saxophonist Willie Lawson, for a 2 p.m. Jazz & Poetry event at the Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library. We'll collaborate with poets Melissa Fair, Nyssa Rhiannon Hanger, Myron Jackson and Janet Sylvester.
- April 22-23, singer Amy London, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur and bassist John Lamb will present "Happy Birthday Duke and Ella" at the Palladium.
And don't forget about all the good jazz club shows and jam sessions happening around the Tampa Bay area (my band, Trio Vibe, plays tonight at Della's in Brandon).
2)Listen to local jazz radio, all night every night on WUSF, 89.7 FM and several times weekly on WMNF, 88.5 FM. Vote for jazz programming on those stations with your wallet, by making donations. You don't have to wait for the pledge drives.
3)Support jazz programs in the schools. No jazz bands at your local middle school or high school? Encourage the band director to start one. Volunteer to help, if you can. Check out the low-dough concerts at area colleges and universities, including the Monday Night Jazz Series at USF in Tampa.
4)Buy CDs and downloads by local and national artists. Not sure where to start? Get good ideas by checking out the reviews and features in such magazines as Down Beat, Jazz Times and Jazziz, all of which can be found at major bookstores. Those publications offer some content for free online; much isn't. Online sources for jazz features and reviews include All About Jazz and Jazz Review.com.
5)Encourage your local performing arts centers to bring in nationally and internationally known jazz artists. One first-rate artist a year — like, say, Pat Metheny at Ruth Eckerd Hall — is nice, but not nearly enough. Smooth jazz doesn't count. Will REH, the Straz Center for the Performing Arts (formerly TBPAC) in Tampa and the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg get serious about booking major jazz artists?
6)Support your local big jazz festival. In my area, it's the Clearwater Jazz Holiday. Let's encourage the Jazz Holiday to fill its stages with top-rank jazz artists, not just the smoothies.
7)Last but not least, play jazz at home and in the car. Give the next generation of music listeners a chance to hear it for themselves. C'mon, your kids — and my kids — can afford to take a break from Lady Gaga, 50 Cent and Hannah Montana. If we don't build opportunities for children and teens to hear jazz, they won't have the opportunity to come to it.

I get it: As a small business owner, your top priority is growing your business.
I also understand that you're passionate about reaching your goals and achieving success.
Like most of my business clients, you're probably concerned about:
• Attracting customers
• Keeping pace with technology
• Managing people, resources, and time
You're running a business. This means you're already a problem solver. But sometimes, you might find yourself "stuck"–and can't find a way to move forward.
As a business coach, I'm not going to sell you a quick fix. Instead–through coaching–I will help you stop, take a step back, and see your situation from a different perspective. I help you to think about your obstacles in entirely new ways, to view them from a different vantage point.
As a business coach, I help small business owners:
• Get back on track
• Anticipate future challenges
• Adapt to fast-moving technology
• Take full advantage of digital media
• Regain your power by learning to think in new ways
One of my main goals is to help business owners stand out in a crowd.
Get people talking about what your doing and how your doing it differently.
This first video is the capturing of the footage me explaining what we were going for. Also a little shameless plug about my own ability to help clients not only have a website but to take ownership of it and use it to outrank and outperform their competition.
This second video is the polished version that came out beautifully.
If you would be interested in how we can create a unique commercial or website design or content. Feel free to call so we can discuss what your goals are and how I can help you make them come true.
- Sexual Health Matters
I recently finished a year long comprehensive program at the University of Michigan focusing on sexual health as it relates and presents in psychotherapy. I am so amazed at some of the work people are doing regarding pelvic pain, attachment, trauma, intimacy and desire, sexual performance and specifically how it relates to relationships and helping couples come together and understand how their intimacy and sexual health is impacted.
June is Men's Health Month: The purpose is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. This month gives healthcare providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury.
We are so used to not talking about anything related to sexual health we have done ourselves, and our children a disservice. One of the analogies I often use with clients is, "if your hand wasn't working you'd go ask for help, right?" They always respond affirmatively. Why is it that we are so embarrassed to talk to doctors about our sexual health. Compounding the problem is doctors aren't given adequate training on sexual health. Some of the work I do is basic education. Then together we explore and have conversations about how not being able to talk about sexual health has prevented couples from fully understanding the dynamics of the intimacy issues they often face through different stages of their lives.
Feel free to reach out to me to maybe set up time to discuss where you and your partner are. So during this month of men's health I want to talk to the ladies. You know your man really doesn't want to talk to anyone about feelings especially about sex. But what would your relationship look like if together we can get him to open up and be more comfortable sharing what he is thinking and what he is feeling.
Feel free to reach out to me at:
- Sex Therapy: Is it for you?
I recently came across an article I thought was really well written. Here are some of the highlights:
Many couples find it hard to fit sex into their busy schedules. And it is perfectly normal for people to go through periods when they are just not in the mood for love making. However, if you lack desire for sex for emotional or physical reasons, you may want to consider sex therapy.
"There are probably a lot of people out there who could use therapy but do not come because they're embarrassed. They may go through years of needless pain or dissatisfaction," says Alexandra Myles, MSW, a sex therapist in Massachusetts.
- Learn more about sexuality—In spite of the greater openness about sexuality today, many people have little understanding of their own bodies and sexual functioning. Informational and self-help books and educational sex videos, which are widely available, can be very helpful. Becoming better informed will help you decide whether you really need therapy.
Many people come to sex therapy after individual psychotherapy fails to help them with their sexual problems.
"The obvious thing is that you are dealing with the human body so you cannot just talk about how you feel. You have got to work on the physical level as well," says Myles. Sex therapy generally addresses the emotional issues underlying sexual problems and employs behavioral techniques to deal with the physical symptoms.
One popular technique used in treating many sexual problems is called sensate focus, in which couples caress or massage each other without sexual contact. The goal is to help both partners learn to give and receive pleasure and feel safe together. As the partners become more comfortable, they can progress to genital stimulation.
As a result of performing this exercise, many couples discover new ways to experience pleasure other than sexual intercourse. "Some of my patients find that they become better lovers," says Dennis Sugrue, PhD, a sex therapist in Michigan.
Other exercises treat specific problems such as women's inability to have orgasms and men's erectile problems. Performing these exercises often evokes strong feelings that are then explored through psychotherapy. People who have experienced sexual trauma or are confused about their sexual identity may need to spend more time working through their feelings. For couples, who make up the majority of clients, the focus is on improving communication and developing greater intimacy.
In looking for a sex therapist, it is particularly important to find someone who you trust and respect. Do not be afraid to ask questions about the therapist's background, philosophical orientation, and experience with your problem.
"A sex therapist can be very influential," says Gina Ogden, a certified sex therapist in Massachusetts, "because there are fewer people who you can talk with about your sexual issues." She warns against therapists who have rigid ideas of what human sexual response should be. Myles agrees, "Sex is such a subjective experience. You cannot impose your own beliefs on a patient."
Most sex therapists today, according to Dennis Sugrue, "look at the whole person and try to help men and women redefine what it means to make love." The effects of aging or physical problems "do not mean that a couple cannot experience the pleasure and joy of being physically intimate with each other."

- Kansas City LGBT Guild Therapist doing great work
LGBT individuals are less likely to seek healthcare, feel alienated by the healthcare community, and in some cases are not given the same level of care as the rest of the community.
Sexual heath and how it is shaped and or ignored by the healthcare system has created a disparity in the quality and accessibility of healthcare available to minorities, and sexual minorities in particular, is a growing concern. In March of 2011 The Institute of Medicine reported that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people have unique health needs, but that little is known about what those needs are. The Lancet Medical Journal followed with an April 2011 article stating that a large number of healthcare practitioners are not well informed about how to care for LGBT health concerns, particularly the needs of transgender individuals. Many of those that are still have psychological barriers to asking probing questions about sex due to a concern of not knowing what to do with that information once they have it. An article in The Journal of Counseling Psychology pointed out that even well-meaning providers may exhibit certain levels of heterosexist micro-aggressions, or subtle attitudes that convey a negative connotation about an individual's LGBT identity.
In response to this growing need, a number of therapists in the Kansas City community have started an organization dedicated to serving the health needs of LGBT individuals and their families. The LGBT-Affirmative Therapists Guild of the Greater Kansas City area is a grassroots organization of licensed mental and medical health professionals, as well as students-in-training. They share a collaborative commitment to make affirming culturally competent healthcare available for all sexual minorities based on the premise that LGBT and heterosexual identities are equally valid. Their website (lgbtguild.com) provides consumers and practitioners with referrals and resources for LGBT health and advocacy concerns.
Members of the Guild meet at various times throughout the year for consultation and education regarding the healthcare concerns of sexual and gender minorities. They are available to speak to businesses or organizations about LGBT related concerns. They are also happy to promote any public activities, groups, or events that enhance an understanding of LGBT people and their concerns. Membership in the Guild is free of charge and open to those from various disciplines and of any sexual orientation.
- Differences in Coaching
Relationship coaching
Consulting: Coaching is a form of consulting, but the coach stays with you to help you implement the new skills, changes and goals to make sure they really happen.
Therapy: Coaching is not therapy. There are some large areas of overlay and skills that both a therapist and a coach uses. Coaches don't work on "issues" or get into the past or deal much with understanding individual human behavior and motivation. Rather, they help move you forward with focus on setting and achieving personal and professional goals that will provide the life you really want.
Some might hear the word "coach" and think football. But athletic coaches generally are in charge, setting the goals and the path to victory. With lifecoaches, it's the client who sets the goals.
The International Coaching Federation said there are 16,000 coaches worldwide, hundreds of schools offering training, as well as an endless variety of subjects: health, relationship, spiritual, creativity, business, career, acting, sewing, gardening, dating, parenting, divorce.
Coaching isn't therapy, It often is very practical, focusing on actions a person can take to reach goals. Unlike therapists, coaches don't focus on the childhood experiences that might be the root of the way a person lives or feels.
There's also a difference between getting help from a coach and getting help from family and friends. Loved ones might be influenced by the past and long-held expectations.
Coaching relies on a set of skills: active listening, asking powerful questions, communicating directly.
I follow the guidelines from the International Coach Federation (IFC). The IFC holds its members to a higher level of professionalism.
The value that my clients get is hard to put into words and that is why I try to let my clients speak for me. I think my clients do a better job of selling me than I do of selling myself.
You can see and hear some of my clients tell you what they get from me on my testimonial page.
Here is what I hope to achieve. Helping people realize their dreams. Each client has a different dream. What is your dream?
The fact that you are visiting my site means you probably are already considering hiring a coach. You're probably wondering how it can make business sense. Your also probably wondering, 'Is this Chuck Franks the right guy for me.' Let me see if I can shed a little light on who I am and what I believe in so you can make that decision and choose to contact me about having a conversation. Here is an overview of some of my thoughts, beliefs and feelings around how I work and what my clients accomplish by working with me.
My personal philosophy of Coaching
I've been a coach my entire life. My training as a counselor gave me a strong education and background to work with. The basics of Reality theory are about clarifying the truth and then doing something about it, taking action.
I get excited about coaching when a client has an "AHA moment". A shift happens and they can instantly see the world from a new place in a new way. It is simply amazing. It's definitely what drives and excites me. I work with my clients and we move forward together through the process of reaching their goals creating the life they truly want.
Even though I get excited from "AHA moments", I get even more excited when my clients tell me stories about how they see direct results from the work we do together.
It's not enough just to be an optimist because it's not enough just to focus on the part of the glass half-full you have to focus on the skill set that's going to allow you to fill the glass completely full which is ultimately the expectation that we have in life these days.
We expect to be a live have a fulfilling career and a full social life we expect this level of happiness and satisfaction that we can have it all and we can is just a matter of appreciating what is that we already have and then focusing on how to attain what is that we don't have yet not focusing out with one what we don't have the focusing on the steps that will achieve obtaining that
How my experience fills a need for my potential clients is that because of my counseling psychology background I have a unique ability to bring therapy skills to the coaching process. I clearly state that I don't do therapy however there is some crossover in technique and skills that bring a unique experience to my clients based on my past experience.
- Chuck Franks Kansas City Life Coach on International Coaching Week
International Coaching Week. We are currently celebrating this week and offering many opportunites for individuals to ask questions and decide if coaching can help them achieve their dreams. As a coach I am always striving to help my clients do more.
Here is something I share with clients.
Living your own life:
We are all living the life that we choose. Sometimes we don't want to look at the fact that the choices that we make lead to the life that we have.
If you want a different life you have to start making different choices. You have to look at what the choices that led up to it and then decide what you want and decide what choices need to be made to make the changes you want to see.
I often talk about how you are the CEO of our own life and yet people don't view their life as something that they are in charge of.
How do you take charge of your life? What choices do you need to make to affect the change you desire?
Take an honest assessment and then map out a game plan for the changes. A coach can help you stay on path to impliment that game plan.
I hope this helps you. If I can be of any further assistance feel free to reach out to me.
Chuck Franks, PCC

Full detailed profile on Brad Snyder Played by Austin Peck on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Austin Peck
Birthday: 1971-04-09
At home, Janet is calling around for Liberty without luck. She and Brad begin arguing about the situation with Paul and then he worries more about Katie. "She is the sunshine," he says.
Jack shows up at rehab and discovers that Carly is out for the day. He calls Janet and she tells him what happened with Liberty, Paul and Emily. Now, the kids have run off. He hurries home and Janet and Brad fill him in on everything that has been going on. Brad's sick of standing around. Parker calls to tell his father that Liberty has had an accident. Jack tells Brad to find Katie and then meet them in Chicago.
Brad goes home and shouts for Katie but there is no sign of her. He tries calling Henry without luck.
Dusty shows up at the station after being called by Margo. She asks him about Manzo and he tells her about seeing his thugs in church. He tells her that they went to Madigan's. Margo searches the database when Brad storms in and throws Henry against the wall, threatening him.
At Metro, Brad asks Henry and Ralph where Katie is. Brad excitedly tells them about the shower and Henry does his best to be rid of him. Once Brad is gone, Henry demands to see Katie and says he's calling the shots now. "That's an unfortunate use of words," Ralph says. Henry hands the check over and Ralph explains that if it goes through, he will release the girl. Once Henry is gone, Ralph calls his thugs and tells them to bring the girl back immediately.
Craig and Rosanna arrive at Brad's. Margo glares across the room at them. When Rosanna and Margo sit down, Margo admits that she's shocked to see them together and begins talking about all of things that Craig's done wrong. She warns her to be careful. When Henry walks in, everyone yells surprise until they notice Katie isn't with him. He assures them she should be there any second and probably just stopped to pet a puppy. Brad starts to pour champagne for a toast. Henry drinks it immediately. Brad explains that he was going to toast to him for being Katie's best friend and it's bad luck to drink before the toast. Henry gulps. Brad tries calling Katie while Craig asks Rosanna what his sister was saying to her. She tells him about Margo's warning. He's disappointed when she didn't tell his sister that they are together. "So much for being honest," he says. "Unless you were honest?" he wonders. She admits this might not be the best time for them to go public. Craig walks out. Rosanna runs after him. Brad returns, worried that Katie isn't picking up her phone. Henry tells them he thinks Katie ran off to a spa and offers to go and get her.
Paul and Emily arrive at Janet's. She's still busy arguing with Liberty and Parker. Paul and Emily explain that they are moving to California and want Liberty to go with them. Janet yells at them to get out. Liberty runs outside with Parker trailing after her. He finally comes clean and explains that he can't get her an apartment. She goes back inside and tells her mom the news. Liberty tells them all that she's not sure what to do right now. Janet calls Brad and tells him about the situation. He agrees to come over. When he gets there, Janet has to pull him away from Paul. Liberty sneaks off and calls Parker to meet up with her.
Over the phone, Ralph orders Henry to get him his money immediately or he will kill Katie. When Henry turns around, Brad asks him what that was all about and then explains he is throwing a surprise party for Katie. Henry doesn't think this is the best time.
Jack arrives at the station and complains to Margo about his problems with Janet. He asks her about what Craig has been up to in regards to Parker's trust fund. He's sure that Craig has been paying off Parker about something. Margo knows her brother has 'a fluid relationship with the truth', so she suggests Jack just talk to Parker. As he heads out, Brad arrives and they talk about how things blew up between Janet and Liberty. Brad invites him to Katie's baby shower and tells him he's never felt so lucky in his life. He chats with Margo and she encourages him to invite Craig to the party.
Rosanna and Craig are anxious. He wishes he hadn't tried to buy Parker off. She insists that they have to come clean with her sister when she gets home. He assures her that this isn't a scheme and his feelings for her are genuine. She feels the same way, but she's not sure what they have. "It's not nothing," he says, offering to try and define it. They know it isn't just about sex and worry it could be over when it becomes public. As Craig is about to open up, Parker shows up, eager to get his money. Craig explains that they've changed their minds because this was a bad idea. They refuse to ask him to lie anymore but hope he won't tell his mom before they can. Parker storms out. "This honesty business isn't easy," Craig says. She asks him what he was going to say before. Brad comes to the door before he can say anything. He invites them to the shower. Craig says he wants to bring Rosanna. She's shocked. When Brad leaves, she asks Craig, "Are you sure about this?" He is sure. It hurts her not to be with him, but it hurts her to know she is hurting her sister, she admits. Part of her worries that this is just payback for when Carly did the same thing to her. "All that matters to me is you," Craig says, kissing her. That's enough to convince her to go. She never thought she would end up with him again.

Lambert Cabbie Fees: Update on Drivers' Suit Against Taxicab Commission
Categories: Follow That Story
|An extra airport fee to fund the taxicab commission is legal, its lawyer says.
But within days of the class action suit being filed, things are already changing at Lambert: Cab drivers coming from outside St. Louis County and St. Louis City say they've been told that they'll no longer be charged the extra $1 fee.
The cabbies see that as a sign that their lawsuit has gotten the attention of the taxicab commission. "They're trying to back off because of the suit," cab driver Charles Cole tells Daily RFT.
The taxicab commission disputes that claim.
The $1 surcharge came about in 2005. The airport had long charged cabbies $2 per trip, but then, in 2005, the Metropolitan Taxicab Commission added an additional $1 charge on every cab leaving the airport. The money went to fund the commission, which regulates taxis in St. Louis city and county.
Attorney Jennifer Fisher, who represents the cabbies, says that federal regulations require that any fees collected by airports go toward airport operations. That's true of the $2 fee, she says, but not the additional $1 that cabbies have been paying. That makes it illegal.
But Tom McCarthy, the attorney for the taxicab commission, insists to Daily RFT that the extra surcharge is OK. It was vetted by lawyers familiar with FAA regulations, he says. And since the parking garage collects the money and remits it directly to the taxicab commission, the money doesn't fall under airport regulations. "We have the statutory authority to do this," he says. "It's clear as a bell."
So why the change in how taxi drivers from outside the county are being treated? Well, for one thing, the taxicab commission only has limited jurisdiction over taxis that operate outside St. Louis County, as McCarthy acknowledges. He tells Daily RFT that the commission never meant to charge them the surcharge.
Taxi drivers say they've been forced to pay it. While county cabs flash a "proximity card" that bills their company directly, out-of-county cabbies like Cole say they've been forced to pay cash.
That has nothing to do with the taxicab commission, McCarthy says. He says that only the "proximity card" fees are remitted to the commission -- so the rest must go the airport. "The cab commission has never charged vehicles from outside St. Louis County," he insists. "We don't know who was charging them that fee -- although I doubt it was in anything other than the mistaken belief that it was correct."
Whether the timing is coincidence or not, it appears that out-of-county taxis are in for a break. As for the others -- the much larger group of cabbies under the control of taxicab commission -- Fisher vows to press the suit on their behalf, as well as on behalf of all the fees paid by out-of-county cabs in the last six years.
"They willfully and intentionally broke the law," she says of the taxicab commission. "They knew this was in violation of policy. We want to make sure that not only do we collect money on behalf of people who've been penalized for [the commission's] wrongful conduct -- but to help punish people who commit these types of actions."
McCarthy says the taxicab commission hasn't been officially served with the suit yet, but intends to defend the fee vigorously.
Ronald Klein, executive director of the commission, declined comment, referring Daily RFT to McCarthy.

Chillout Beats
Mark Dumond - Chillout Beats
Chillout music describes down-tempo music, which can be relaxing, inspirational, or motivational depending on the mood of the song. Perfect for home listening, as background music, as lifestyle music, as driving music and it sounds totally right in beautiful settings.
The best of its kind is often music that is heartfelt and isn't fashion led, and it is often driven by melody and harmony. It can slow us down to the speed of life and send shivers of pleasure down the spine too.
This station broadcasts songs with a beat and tends to be much smoother than typical dance. More often than not, chillout music originates from both the dance and electronica genres.
Chillout Beats is comprised mostly of compilation CDs, as opposed to individual tracks. Mixed compilation CDs blend from one track to the next, hence making the transitions smooth, and also have a "flow" that the DJ is trying to create. My station is comprised of my own compilations, including the Decaf series, which are not commercially available. Also included are others compilations which are from various DJs and artists, which may or may not be commercially available.

Sorry but that just doesn't seem enough to me. When I read my New Testament I see the early Church doing life and ministry together and having sweet fellowship. I want that. I want to serve and share and laugh and love with my brothers and sisters in Him.

Posey. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
John Posey
Like dominoes the vows did fall
Till there was nothing left at all ---
Promises and vows you never meant to keep
Constantly haunt me and keep me from sleep.
Wayward ways from yesterday
Have turned your world around.
And visions of tomorrow
Are nowhere to be found.
Late night hideaways
Hide secrets by the score
But morning light will find you
Back knocking at my door.
But broken hearted lovers
Don't make the best of friends
And when a heart can hurt no more
Even friendship finds an end.
Broken vows and promises
Have a certain way
Of coming back to haunt you ---
And true love flies away

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Books, Entertainment News
Once you've seen Steve Ditko's hands, it's hard to forget them. Not the hands of the famously reclusive 77-year-old cartoonist himself — not many people have seen those. The hands he draws on his characters, though, are unmistakable: expressively gesticulating, fingers pointing in all directions, casting spells or shooting webs or passing judgment. Ditko's never been as well-known as fellow comics pioneers Jack Kirby and Will Eisner. Insisting that his work speaks for itself, he's refused to be photographed or interviewed since the early '60s, and his prickly, loopy individualism has kept fame at bay. But he's the ghost haunting the past 40 years of American comic books.
A cross-section of Ditko's early- to mid-'60s work is reprinted in the new hardcover collection "Steve Ditko: Marvel Visionaries." His artwork is often crude and unpretty on its surface: understated and flat, full of crabbed, ugly characters. It's also impossible to shake. He's a master of composition, body language and storytelling flow, and his best ideas have become part of the visual language of comics. The most famous is the look of Spider-Man, co-created by Ditko with writer Stan Lee in late 1962. Ditko drew the first 38 issues of "The Amazing Spider-Man," the foundation on which every Spider-Man story since then has been built. He also created the famous blue-and-red costume — a brilliantly weird piece of design, featuring a totally covered-up face imprinted with spider webs, with two enormous white swooshes for eyes.
More importantly, though, Ditko devised the visual tone of Spider-Man comics: imperfect bodies perpetually moving through real space. Nobody ever looks especially healthy in his "Amazing Spider-Man." Peter Parker, in or out of his costume, is a scrawny kid with insectoid body language (the specific poses Ditko drew him in were imitated successfully in both of the recent "Spider-Man" movies); Dr. Octopus is a sweaty creep with a terrible bowl haircut. Mary Jane Watson's model-perfect face famously didn't appear on-panel until Ditko had left the series and John Romita replaced him. When there's sexual tension in Ditko's "Spider-Man," there always seems to be something repressed and curdled about it. (He shared a studio for years with bondage/fetish artist Eric Stanton and has claimed they didn't collaborate, but Blake Bell, who's writing a book about Ditko, has a Web site on which he points out some work credited to Stanton that's clearly Ditko's — look at those hands.)
The setting for Ditko's "Spider-Man" is a hyper-real New York City, nothing but skyscrapers and water towers and docks. And its characters are always seen in choreographed motion: diving into upside-down springs, leaping, ducking, moving around each other. Every panel is a pregnant moment; you can sense the arc of each character's movement from one image to the next. Stan Lee's dialogue and captions are sometimes charmingly corny, sometimes just glib and annoying, but you don't need them anyway: You can tell exactly what's happening without reading a word. (Spider-Man's mask eliminates his facial expressions, so Ditko makes him communicate everything with his body.)
"Steve Ditko: Marvel Visionaries" inevitably includes "The Amazing Spider-Man" Nos. 31 to 33, from 1965 and 1966, by which point Ditko was plotting the series entirely by himself. The pages of No. 33 in which Spider-Man lifts and crawls out from under an enormous piece of machinery in a flooding room are the comics' equivalent of the Odessa Steps sequence from Sergei Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin" — a scene so formally masterful that every subsequent cartoonist has internalized it, even those whose work has nothing to do with superhero stuff. ("Love and Rockets'" Jaime Hernandez includes a wickedly funny little homage to it in his graphic novel "Locas.")
At the same time, Ditko was developing a very different visual style for his other major collaboration with Lee, the "Dr. Strange" stories about a "master of the mystic arts" that originally appeared in "Strange Tales." (Five of them are reprinted in "Marvel Visionaries.") "Spider-Man's" characters struggled against the laws of physics in a stylized representation of the real world; "Dr. Strange's" characters were freed from those laws and that world altogether, floating freely in other-dimensional space filled with curving, squiggling design elements. There are almost no right angles in Ditko's "Dr. Strange" stories other than panel borders. Over and over, though, there are images of weirdly shaped portals through which even weirder planes of existence can be seen, and the implication is that the rectangles on the printed page act as the same sort of portal for the reader.
Dr. Strange supposedly lives in New York City, too, but virtually all we see of it is his Greenwich Village townhouse, as curvy and un-New York-like as one of Rudolf Steiner's Goetheanum buildings. Every few panels there's a new psychedelic explosion; Strange's nemesis is Dormammu, a "dweller in the realm of darkness," whose head is an indistinct, striated red shape with holes where its eyes and mouth should be, surrounded by billowing yellow flames. If "Spider-Man" was, at its core, a vehicle for exploring the relationship between power and personal responsibility, "Dr. Strange" was, whether or not Ditko and Lee acknowledged it, a vehicle for talking about drug culture.
Sixties hipsters thought that Ditko's urban realism and trippy visions meant that he was one of them. They couldn't have been much more wrong. Around the time that Ditko fell out with Marvel Comics in 1966, he became fascinated with Ayn Rand and objectivism, and his work started to take on a severe and increasingly strident right-wing tone. He spent a few years working for the small company Charlton Comics, where his most significant creation was the Question: a hero in a suit, hat and tie, with no face — just a blank pink blot — and a ruthless contempt for moral relativism. At a subsequent stint with DC Comics, he created the Hawk and the Dove (a pair of superhero brothers, whose personalities were exactly what you'd guess) and the Creeper (a yellow-skinned, green-haired, red-maned, screeching maniac).
And then, by the end of the '60s, Ditko retreated into the world of the small press — fanzines and self-published comics — where he could write and draw whatever he pleased. Comics like "Mr. A" and "Avenging World" became his venue to rant semi-intelligibly about objectivism, how there's no middle ground or gray area in morality, and so on. He spent most of the next 30 years creating Rand-inspired comics that are beautifully designed and composed but almost unreadable; they're explicitly didactic, but so heavy-handed that it's impossible to imagine them swaying anyone's opinions. (Ditko continued to draw hundreds of pages a year through the '90s but hasn't published any new work since 2000.)
After 1970, he occasionally returned to mainstream comics, but his only major new creation was a bizarre and short-lived mid-'70s series, "Shade the Changing Man." (It was ahead of its time; revived in 1990 by writer Peter Milligan without Ditko, it ran for six years.) "Marvel Visionaries" leaps from 1966 to two stories originally published in 1980, one from 1988, and one from 1992, in which Ditko's phoning it in, barely bothering with even basic anatomy and perspective.
By then, though, Ditko's fingerprints were all over the comics world. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' landmark "Watchmen" is, in some sense, one long tribute to Ditko, from its nine-panel grid to the character of Rorschach, whose appearance and inflexible morality are directly inspired by the Question and Mr. A. Before Todd McFarlane created his hugely popular horror comic "Spawn," he made his name with work on "Spider-Man" that was a slicked-up variation on Ditko's style. Peter Bagge ("Hate") wrote and drew a Ditko parody a few years ago, "The Megalomaniacal Spider-Man," in which Peter Parker becomes obsessed with objectivism. And near the end of Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert's recent graphic novel "1602," there's a scene in which we briefly see another dimension — an image that's directly lifted from (and credited to) a 40-year-old Ditko "Dr. Strange" story, since there's no way anyone else could have captured that otherworldliness better.
Most of what's in Ditko's "Marvel Visionaries" volume are stories that have been reprinted to death already, fine as some of them are. But it also includes some remarkable, long-unseen material: 10 short horror, suspense and science fiction stories he collaborated on with Lee for anthology comics like "Tales to Astonish" and "Amazing Adult Fantasy" between 1961 and 1963. Lee knew how to spur Ditko to do his best work, and these corny twist-ending tales are drawn with the single-minded force of nightmares. The artwork is largely close-up shots of distressed characters, with little or no background, which makes the world they inhabit seem as suffocatingly tiny as the scope of the stories themselves. "Help!" opens with an image of a man clasping his ears as he's surrounded by seven screaming disembodied mouths; "Those Who Change" begins with a gigantic close-up of a huge-eyed reptile's head beginning to emerge from prehistoric ooze. The blunt alienation of these early pieces is still shocking now, and the way Ditko draws the characters' hands alone tells the stories almost as much as Lee's words.
Douglas Wolk's writing on comics and graphic novels will appear the first Friday of each month in Salon Books.

On June 20, 2012, Appellant Jose Martines was observed driving his sport utility vehicle erratically on State Route 167. He veered into another car, careened across the highway, bounced
off the barrier, and rolled over. Washington State Trooper Dennis Tardiff arrived and took Martines into custody. Martines smelled of intoxicants, had bloodshot and watery eyes, and stumbled while walking. Trooper Tardiff sought a warrant to extract a blood sample from Martines. His affidavit of probable cause stated that a blood sample "may be tested to determine his/her current blood alcohol level and to detect the presence of any drugs that may have impaired his/her ability to drive." He obtained a warrant that authorized a competent health care authority to extract a blood sample and ensure its safekeeping. The warrant did not say anything about testing of the blood sample. Pursuant to the warrant, a blood sample was drawn from Martines at a local hospital. Then it was tested for the presence of drugs and alcohol. The test results indicated that Martines had a blood alcohol level of .121 within an hour after the accident and that the drug diazepam (Valium) was also present. Martines had a prior conviction for vehicular assault while driving under the influence. The State charged him with felony driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

Below is the poem entitled Pieces of Happy which was written by poet
Lamoureux. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Richard Lamoureux
In my younger years
I searched and I searched
To find
To hold
Just a small piece
A minuscule piece of happy
Other people
Smiled and laughed
They seemed to be holding large chunks
I looked at them with awe
If only
A small piece
Even a minuscule piece
Could break off
I would pick it up
Hide it away
Cherish it
Bask in it's luminosity
As the years passed
I found more and more
Small pieces at first
Melted into liquid to quench my thirst
Me and happy began to burst
The joy within me poured into a tray
I baked it in an oven
It became like clay
Little pieces I could give away
All colored and glazed
Like sunlight on display
The pieces I then scattered near and far
Perhaps some, have landed where you are
Each piece of happy a work of art
The recycled bits of my illuminated heart
Like magic more happy returned to me
I stacked it high for all to see
Come join
This happy is yours for free
Each piece formed
Into a golden key
Unlocking the people
We are meant to be
So now I walk down happy street
I feel the joy beneath my feet
It's everywhere
I love its heat
Sometimes a piece of sad is found
I pick it up
That's okay
I do not keep it
I throw it away

The Church of Pakistan is a united church in Pakistan, which is part of the Anglican Communion and a member church of the World Communion of Reformed Churches[2] and the World Methodist Council.
Establishment of the church[edit]
It was established in 1970 with a union of Anglicans, Scottish Presbyterians (Church of Scotland), United Methodists, and Lutherans. It is the only united church in the South Asia which involves the Lutheran Church. Though united, it is mainly Anglican in theology and outlook, since from the beginning Anglicans formed the bulk of the 800,000 strong membership and most of the important sees.
The church has two theological seminaries: the Gujranwala Theological Seminary and the St Thomas' Theological College, Karachi.
Persecution and Pakistan Minorities' Democratic Movement[edit]
Despite the presence of this official body, Christians in Pakistan have been the victims of significant persecution because of their religion on a local level in the 20th century. Its most internationally famous clergyman, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, formerly diocesan bishop of Raiwind in West Punjab, was given sanctuary by Robert Runcie, the then-Archbishop of Canterbury when his life was imperilled; he then taught at Oxford and served as Bishop of Rochester, England.
The churches in Pakistan show great leadership not only regarding religious and spiritual needs but also in the social and economic needs of the people. The social organizations like Harmony Foundation and others have always stood firm for the rights and issues of the religious minorities especially Christians in Pakistan. Pakistan Minorities' Democratic Movement, a human rights and advocacy organization, under the leadership of Atif Jamil Pagaan provide political platform to the minorities in the country. The church leadership and social leadership support the efforts of Pakistan Minorities' Democratic Movement and the visionary leadership of Atif Jamil Pagaan. Harmony Foundation and Pakistan Minorities' Democratic Movement are two very prominent organizations in Pakistan.
The Lahore Diocese is one of the largest Protestant Diocese in Pakistan with Churches across Punjab, Pakistan and runs over 31 educational institutions providing education for not only Christian students but Muslims as well. Rt. Rev. Bishop Irfan Jamil is the current Bishop of Lahore, Church of Pakistan. His predecessor is Bishop Emeritus Dr. Alexander John Malik.
List of dioceses[edit]
- Faisalabad
- Hyderabad
- Karachi
- Lahore
- Multan
- Peshawar
- Raiwind
- Sialkot, a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches. Today, the whole Church of Pakistan is listed on the members of the WCRC website. The Sialkot Diocese has more than 40,400 members in 45 congregations and 28 house fellowships. It adheres to the Apostles Creed, Heidelberg Catechism, Westminster Catechism and Nicene Creed.[2]

The Washington-Wilkes Chamber of Commerce honored this year's STAR student at their yearly awards banquet.
This year was a history making year, as for the first time in school history, there was a tie for STAR student honors at Washington-Wilkes High School.
Kohen Newsome and Jonathan Wood received the honors this year, and each also got to choose their STAR teacher.
First up was Newsome, who chose Marsha Willis as his STAR teacher, Newsome said that Willis made an impact on his life.
"I wasn't a huge literature fan, I didn't enjoy writing or reading, but as the semester progressed she influenced me and helped me enjoy reading and writing more", said Newsome. "I remember one of the last days of class we got into a huge debate and it really left a huge mark on my life."
Willis spoke next, and talked about how Newsome used his strengths in other subjects to help him through her class.
"Instead of complaining about the workload, the language of rhetoric, or the amount of writing; Kohen chose to bring his love of history into our English class", said Willis. "He made no excuses, instead, he created learning experiences for all of us."
Next up, Jonathon Wood took the stage, and explained that he joined the school's 4-H program to follow in his sister's footsteps, and that joining 4-H, led to other pathways.
"Each year 4-H taught me more and more. It taught me many things such as public speaking, and the importance of communication skills", said Wood. "When I got in high school I wanted to learn about the business aspects of things, so I joined FBLA. FBLA taught me the ideas of business, and each of my years in high school I became more involved with this organization."
Wood selected Amy Harkins as his STAR teacher, and in her speech, Harkins said that Wood made the most of every moment.
"Jonathon has taken advantage of each and every opportunity that has come his way both in the classroom and with FLBA", said Harkins. "In FBLA Jonathon took full advantage all the conferences that he could attend, and while there he took advantage of all that the conference could offer him."
Each year the school's STAR student is determined by whichever student scores the highest on their SAT. Again, this year was the first year in school history that there has ever been a tie.

Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer said Monday his presidential campaign in South Carolina "is not as healthy as it ought to be," and he was unsure whether it will pay the $35,000 filing fee due today to get on the state's Jan. 21 primary ballot.
Having limited himself to taking no more than $100 from any donor, Roemer said he has raised only $250,000 and is focusing on New Hampshire in hopes that a good showing there will kick his campaign into a higher gear.
He said if he isn't on South Carolina's GOP ballot, he might try to run here as an independent in November.
Roemer spoke just after appearing at the College of Charleston's Bully Pulpit series. About 40 people attended and asked him about tax reform, amending the nation's campaign finance laws and how he would communicate as president.
Roemer criticized the size of the national debt and its recent deficits, its trade imbalance and its lack of an industrial or energy policy.
"Federal spending is out of control by any measure," he said. "We're Greece on steroids."
Roemer said the real issue in the campaign is the "institutional corruption" involved in politicians seeking money. He noted the nation's tax laws are drafted by lobbyists and that General Electric was able to avoid paying any U.S. taxes last year on $5.4 billion because it could deduct foreign taxes paid.
"You pay more taxes as a student with a part-time job than GE paid," he said. "Washington, D.C., is a scam. I call it the capital of corruption."
Roemer said he favors changing federal election laws to require reporting within 48 hours and for criminal prosecution for those who break the rules.
If elected, Roemer said his communication style would emphasize listening and working in a bipartisan way, through poker games, for instance.
Roemer declined to comment on allegations that his fellow GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain engaged in inappropriate behavior with two female employees of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.
Roemer said he had not heard of the story, which was first reported by Politico this weekend.
"Let's get the facts," he said. "I hope that's wrong."

Bristol firms 'refused £5.5m worth of loans'
Posted: August 06, 2014|
BUSINESSES in the Bristol area have been turned down for £5.5 million of loans, new figures show.
The number comes from analysis by Cambridge and Counties Bank, a so-called challenger bank targeting the small and medium-sized business market.
Across the South West as a whole, 780 loan applications worth £74.5 million were rejected in the first quarter of 2014.
The bank recently launched in the region, hiring Paul Howard from Warmley as its regional business development manager.
Paul, pictured, said: "There are many strong and well-run businesses across the South West and some are finding it difficult to raise funds.
"They represent an exciting opportunity for us and we are confident we can grow our presence here."
Chief executive Gary Wilkinson added: "The South West is home to over 240,000 businesses, some 9.5 per cent of the total in Britain.
"It is a hotbed of entrepreneurial spirit and it is imperative that this is supported by funds from banks to fuel growth and employment."

As a card dealer at the President Casino on the Admiral, Denise usually worked the overnight shift from 8 p.m.-4 a.m., and on this warm summer morning, July 17, 1997, she'd clocked out at 4:09 a.m. She'd been in an unusually good mood. She chatted with a co-worker who drove her to the lot where she had parked under the Poplar Street Bridge, plucked off her car a note written by a man she'd been having an affair with and, still a bit giddy over the relationship, told her friend she had a "pocketful of them." Denise then drove off. She stopped briefly at the drive-through of a Hardee's on Hampton Avenue to pick up a breakfast sandwich. It was still dark outside, and as Denise neared her home, only the mercury-vapor street lights cast a faint glow on her surroundings.
The 39-year-old mother of two was terrified of the South Side Rapist -- a notorious serial rapist who wasn't caught until late 1998 -- so much so that she had had a motion-activated floodlight installed near her driveway. When she came home before dawn or after dusk, she would almost always pull her car straight into the garage. This Thursday morning, Denise did not. Instead, she got out of her car, walked down the driveway and -- perhaps toward someone or something -- across the sidewalk in her frontyard. She made it past only a few squares of concrete before a sudden burst of gunfire brought her crashing to the ground. The bullets pierced the garage door, the trim, the frame of a front window. They ripped through Denise's legs and torso.
The noise roused slumbering neighbors up and down Bancroft and on nearby Wenzlick and Prather avenues, many of whom peered out their windows and called 911. They reported the sound of gunshots, and most of them also described seeing a gray or silver conversion van driving away from the scene with its headlights off, heading east on Bancroft, then north on Wenzlick.
Denise lay crumpled on the sidewalk, her body riddled with bullet wounds. Her pink Bic lighter and a pack of Salems were scattered around her, along with her keyring and a brown paper bag containing her uneaten Hardee's breakfast. Clutched in her fingers were the handwritten notes from her lover, a married man who also worked at the casino.
The first person to reach her was a neighbor, an off-duty police officer who awoke at 4:37 a.m. to the sound of gunfire -- two controlled shots, then a rapid succession of 10 to 15 more. He found Denise lying facedown on the sidewalk, bleeding from numerous wounds. There wasn't much he could do.
A police officer dispatched to the scene was told Denise's husband lived about 100 yards away in a house at the corner of Bancroft and Jamieson avenues. He knocked at the door, and Larry Wolff, a city plumbing inspector who'd been legally separated from Denise for seven years, quickly answered, wearing a pair of boxer shorts. He told the officer he hadn't heard a thing.
Paramedics arrived within minutes, and as they struggled to stabilize Denise's condition, her husband stood in front of the ambulance. The police officers noted that his gaze seemed focused away from his wife, bleeding on the ground. Denise was transported, alone, to Barnes-Jewish Hospital. A doctor pronounced her dead at 5:41 a.m. The bullets had lacerated her kidney, colon, spleen, bowel and bladder, fractured several bones and caused massive bleeding.
It was a sudden and violent death for a woman who had led a rather unassuming life. Even in those early hours of the investigation, however, all of the signs suggested Denise was targeted for death, not the victim of some chance shooting. "This was a purposeful, vicious crime," St. Louis Police Capt. Dave Heath would later say, addressing the television cameras. "We are not looking at this to be a random act under any circumstances." Outside Denise's home on Bancroft, police officers and crime-scene technicians strung up yellow crime-scene tape and placed a brown paper silhouette of her body on her sidewalk. This was a homicide investigation, and the questions on their minds were obvious: Who killed Denise Wolff? And why?
By all accounts, Denise was a devoted mother to her two girls, who were born 13 years apart in separate marriages. Jennie, who lived with Denise, was 10; Angie Erickson was married, with a 3-year-old son, and her belly was bulging with another child. Denise's second grandchild was due at the end of September, and she couldn't wait.
As a single mom who'd been legally separated from her husband for years, Denise had gone to dealer's school because it seemed like a fun way to make a decent living without investing huge amounts of time or money in training and education. She'd made her family and friends play cards every night when she was enrolled in dealer school, shuffling and shuffling until she got it just right. She was a night owl, so the first chance she got, she asked for the overnight shift. It also gave her more time to spend with Jennie. Denise stood about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed about 140 pounds. Of Lebanese descent, she had dark eyes and hair that she dyed a shade of red. She spent her nights working at the President Casino, earning more than $40,000 a year dealing cards at blackjack tables and spinning the roulette wheel. She loved the lights, the sounds, the slot machines, the people, the excitement of it all. "It's like going to a party every night," she'd say. Denise had worked on the Admiral about three years after first breaking into the business at the Casino Queen.

Boeing has decoupled the flight test programmes for the 787 and 747-8, allowing the two new aircraft to potentially take to the skies for the first time simultaneously.
The 787 and 747-8 are both now scheduled to have first flight during the fourth quarter, most likely the second half of November or first half of December. To avoid having to slow down one flight test programme to keep another on schedule, Boeing has taken the unprecedented step of entirely separating the two flight test programmes and allocating each with a dedicated set of equipment and resources.
"We have completely decoupled the flight test programme on the 747 from the 787," says 747 programme vice president and general manager Mo Yahyavi. "Each programme [now] has its own allocated resources and support equipment."
He says first flight for both the 787 and 747-8 could "absolutely" occur the same day now that the two aren't sharing flight test resources. But whether that happens purely depends on both aircraft becoming ready for first flight at the same time.
Yahyavi says separating the two flight test programmes has required additional investment as typically all of Boeing's commercial aircraft programmes share flight test resources and equipment. "We've had to do some extra efforts out of the ordinary because we have two major flight test programmes going on. We needed to make sure our equipment was reinforced and our resources reallocated properly to get the job done," he explained during an interview with Flight International at his office adjacent to the 747 assembly line.
Yahyavi says the 747-8 programme on its own now has the resources to fly all three test aircraft before the end of this year. This includes having sufficient test pilots, engineers, data analysts and "supporting team members for operation of the airplane during the flight tests".
"We're ready and go and fly the aircraft," he adds.

I don't do dairy by choice except a very occasional bit of cheese. (although I'm considering adding some butter to cook with sometimes) Meat, veg, and fruit work perfectly for me so I don't see why it can't work for you.
I have food allergies. Gluten and Dairy. Primal is perfect for the gluten-free part of it all...But what about the dairy? Eating only Fruit, Veg and Meat doesn't sound all that bad.
I have not gotten the book, yet. (Yes, I plan to!) This is all part of my pre-plan research. Thanks.
I don't do dairy by choice except a very occasional bit of cheese. (although I'm considering adding some butter to cook with sometimes) Meat, veg, and fruit work perfectly for me so I don't see why it can't work for you.
Of course! Many people are.
You can be primal and 100% brussels sprouts free also But what would be the fun in that.
*My obligatory intro
There are no cheat days. There are days when you eat primal and days you don't. As soon as you label a day a cheat day, you're on a diet. Don't be on a diet. ~~ Fernaldo
DAINTY CAN KISS MY PRIMAL BACKSIDE. ~~ Crabcakes
I don't eat much dairy at all, maybe a bit of butter and some cheese sometimes. I eat a shit ton of fruit, veggies, and meat and I've seen great results, as have many others who eat a similar diet.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own experience.
In the mind of the beginner, there are many possibilities; in the mind of the expert, there are few.

Absolutely. I tolerate dairy fairly well, and I do love raw milk, but it currently does not fit into my budget. The only dairy I eat regularly is grass-fed butter, and that can EASILY be replaced with another fat source. There is nothing "essential" about cheese, milk, cream, etc. It tastes great, but isn't pivotal in a healthful diet.
Absolutely! I also have allergies and do not eat any dairy. It is not essential.
Very little dairy here. Once in awhile for fun.

Me too.....fairly lactose intolerant, I eat a little cheese and butter every now and again.
I use butter/ghee and have a little cheese once in a while as a treat, but no other dairy beyond that. Lots of us are dairy-free or close to it.

The Castaways are an American frat/garage rock band from the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
Their first and only hit single was "Liar, Liar". Written by band leader James Donna and Denny Craswell, produced by Timothy D. Kehr and released by Soma Records, it reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965. "Liar, Liar" is featured in the films Good Morning, Vietnam and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The Castaways performed "Liar, Liar" in the 1967 beach movie It's a Bikini World. Their followup, "Goodbye Babe", was another local hit, but did not break nationally.[1]
"Liar, Liar" is noteworthy for the scream that precedes a guitar-led instrumental segment between verses.[citation needed]
Although the group would release several more singles throughout the 1960s, it appears that they never released a full-length album, until the appearance of their 1999 Greatest Hits compilation.
Band history[edit]
The original members were James Donna on keyboards, Robert Folschow and Dick Roby on guitar, Roy Hensley on bass guitar and Dennis Craswell on drums. Folschow contributed the distinctive falsetto vocal on "Liar, Liar".
In the early 1980s two members, Folschow and Craswell, led a West Coast version of the band under the name The Castaways in Pismo Beach, California. Folschow, who was using the stage name of Bob LaRroy, played guitar and a keytar on many songs, including "Liar, Liar", which had the distinctive piano intro/riff. The two had local musicians such as B3 organist Dennis Hayes providing additional keyboard and bass backup.[citation needed]
Bass guitarist Hensley died on 8 June 2005[citation needed] and was buried in Fairmont, Minnesota. The Castaways continue to perform today, although according to their website, Donna is the only founding member still in the line-up.

Based on the 1919 Firebird Suite composed by Igor Stravinsky, Madcap presents the tale of Ivan, the bird of fire and Katchai the magician. The Firebird is a visual feast, performed as a giant shadow puppet ballet with Stravinsky's wonderfully narrative symphonic music. In the story, Ivan captures the bird of fire and decides to free her; in return the firebird gives the boy a magic feather that will bring her to his side when he needs help. Seeing that the boy has the magic feather, Katchai unleashes his minion to combat Ivan but through Ivan's compassion and the return of the Firebird, Katchai the magician is finally defeated.

Editor's note: This is the fifth installment of stories about Fulton Families. The monthly series will tell the stories of families that have either lived in Fulton for ages or perhaps only a short while — but the common bond will be they love the city and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. If you know of a family we should highlight, please email Debbie Groom, Valley News managing editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
By Ashley M. Casey | Photos courtesy of Dan Farfaglia
Growing up in a large family in Fulton was like a movie for Dan Farfaglia.
"It was the Italian version of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,'" Dan recalled.
Since their arrival in the early 20th century, the Farfaglias have been active in the Fulton community. In addition to serving as a county legislator for Fulton and Granby, Dan is active with the Rotary Club.
His cousin, Jim, is an author who writes the "Poetry Corner" in The Valley News and teaches writing classes. And, of course, the family is well known for its participation in the Fulton Wrestling Club.
Although they are a bit more spread out now, the Farfaglia family has deep roots in, and deep pride for, the city of Fulton. Continue reading

Fcuking hell! When will this guy realize he has to make a good schedule which won't make him injured so often! He has the tendency of getting injured often because of his playing style and bad scheduling.
Seems like Rafa and Injury are for each other.
there's a correlation between Nadal's success and his injuries.
Nadal wouldn't have been as successful if he had a playing style that wouldn't get him injured.
It's not a karmic thing, it's gamestyle.
His injuries were predicted by everyone relevant since long time ago. The surprising thing is that Nadal lasted longer than expected, but the fall was inevitable.

Army Finance
While you are stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, there is a military finance office to assist you in resolving most of your financial arrangements during your in-processing.
The Defense Military Pay Office-Richardson handles all the pay accounts for Soldiers. The DMPO-Richardson Finance Office is located in Building 600; telephone 907-384-1172. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. for customers, and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. for PACs. The website for the DMPO-Richardson iswww.usarak.army.mil/DMPO.
The Department of Defense authorizes a Cost of Living Allowance for all Soldiers stationed in Alaska. The amount of COLA a service member draws depends on their rank, years of service, duty location, barracks or non-barracks residency, and the number of command-sponsored family members. For more information, seewww.defensetravel.dod.mil.
Arriving Army service members' in-processing: The finance office will need copies of orders; DA Form 31 leave form; if parachute training has just been completed, a copy of the jump orders and jump log from Fort Benning, Ga.; vehicle shipping documents if applicable; ferry tickets if not paid for by the government; and TLE receipts.
Departing Army service members will need to provide the out-processing office (room 105) with three copies of orders, three copies of leave form, and if receiving parachute pay, a closed-out jump log.
Air Force Financial Services Office
Visit the finance office for military pay/travel issues and civilian travel issues. Walk-in customer service hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Finance Office is located on the first floor of the People Center in Suite 103.
As indicated on your orders, travel via the Alaska Marine Highway System is authorized. Military members moving to Alaska are authorized to ship only one vehicle. Therefore, you can ship one vehicle and you and your dependents may drive an additional vehicle, or you may drive two vehicles via the Alaska Highway or the Alaska Marine Highway System if you do not ship a vehicle. Travel on the Alaska Marine Highway ferry requires you to travel with your vehicle to receive government reimbursement. If you do not travel with your vehicle, it is considered a vehicle shipment and you will NOT be reimbursed. Military members will file their voucher during their Military Personnel in-processing appointment upon arrival.
Civilians arriving on station should schedule an appointment with the finance office to assist in filing a travel voucher. All manual travel vouchers (non-DTS vouchers) are now sent to the Air Force Financial Services Center at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., for final processing. This affects all non-DTS travel vouchers, such as deployment vouchers, TDY vouchers, COT vouchers and dependent travel reimbursement. To speed both travel and military pay documents for processing, use the Comptroller Assisted Self-Help Forms Lite website athttps://leave.hickam.af.mil/cashforms.
For more details, call the customer service desk at 907-552-9104 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Ensifera, are better known as crickets.
All crickets have long thread-like antennae with more than 30 segments, and sing by rubbing the forewings over each other.
They are often nocturnal and are generally omnivorous, although some can be predatory.
The Ensifera is made of six superfamilies:
The Ensifera are named for the sword-shaped ovipositor found in females, from the Latin ensis meaning sword.
