Residence Life Community Development Model
The Housing and Residence Life Department exists to provide an on-campus living experience that complements and enhances the academic life of our residents. We operate under a Community Development Model that is rooted in the University's Jesuit identity, supported by the theory and best practices of the Housing Profession, and continually evaluated by stated outcomes. Our Community Development Model is not solely about events that happen in the residence halls but is to be viewed as a comprehensive approach that guides our "way of being" in community together.
Our Community Development Model is built around four pillars: Connection, Interaction, Engagement and Reflection. Students who live in University housing – regardless of class standing, building location, or type of residence – will find these pillars evident in their hall environment, community events, and relationships with each other and the residence life staff. Our Community Development Model pillars are described in detail below:
"Community" is the most important part of the Gonzaga experience for the majority of our students. We believe that in the residence halls, a connection to where you live or a sense of place is an important aspect of living in community. In Residence Life at Gonzaga, "connection" means that residents have an opportunity to find their place in this community.
"Community" by definition is not something that can be accomplished alone or created by an individual. We believe it is important that students have experiences with others whose personalities, beliefs, and cultures, are different from their own. In Residence Life at Gonzaga "interaction" means that residents will have intentional conversations with other students, residence life staff, and leaders in the Gonzaga community.
"Community" involves all of its members taking ownership and being invested in creating a space that is welcoming and inviting for all. We believe that being in relationship with others leads to communities of caring, meaningful dialogue, and a sense of belonging. In Residence Life at Gonzaga "engagement" means that residents actively participate in the community.
"Community" is continually impacted by individual decisions and actions. We believe that inquiry and critical thinking play an important role in shaping congruence between behaviors and beliefs. In Residence Life at Gonzaga "reflection" means that students will have an opportunity to process and make meaning of their on-campus living experience.

The series of annual assessments in grades 3, 5, 6, and 7 is known as the "integrated" Louisiana Educational Assessment Programs (iLEAP). The iLEAP is referred to as an integrated LEAP because it combines a criterion-based component, which measures whether a student has mastered the academic standards, with a norm-referenced component, which provides a percentile ranking of students.Source: Annual Assessments - Louisiana Department of Education.

Actually, his wife was a Priestess of Mishakal, the Goddess of Healing. She left the priesthood to marry him. When the kingpriest had the arrogance to ask the gods for their power, to remove evil from the world, Soth was given a chance to save the world from the wrath of the gods (The Cataclysm, where they threw a fiery mountain on top of the city,) because he was the champion of the Knighthood. Anyway, Soth left his manor to stop the kingpriest. On the way, some other priestesses, their heart corrupted by Takhisis, and knowing the importance of his quest, sought to stop him. They told him that his newborn son was not his, that his elven wife was being unfaithful with one of his retainers.
Soth, filled with jealousy, turned around and went back to his manor. As he went into the main hall and started accusing his wife, the fiery mountain fell from the sky and split the face of Krynn. The earthquakes brought down half of the manor. A blazing chandelier fell on his wife, and while she burned, she begged him to save the newborn. He refused.
The manor burned and fell around him.
The next night, instead of finding relief in death, Soth arose again, doomed to be an undead knight, the spirits of the corrupted priestesses (now banshees) retelling him the story of his betrayal every night.

Sustainability on Campus
Becoming Green
While for years there have been many independent efforts at greening the Sarah Lawrence Campus, as well as student attitudes, the November 2006 conference of the Environmental Consortium of Hudson Valley Colleges & Universities' Greening the Campus: Exploring Practices, Curriculum and Management in Higher Education served as a springboard for establishing a comprehensive long-term plan for campus greening, including the formation of a campus-wide sustainability committee. Sixteen members of the Sarah Lawrence community, the largest delegation at the conference, attended the meeting.
Two years earlier demonstrating the College's commitment to campus sustainability, the Monika A. and Charles A. Heimbold, Jr. Visual Arts Center, one of the first environmentally responsible visual arts buildings in the country, opened. Heimbold earned the distinction of being the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified college or university visual arts building in the country.
In January 2008, the College community joined over 1,000 colleges and universities in Focus the Nation, a national teach-in on solutions to global warming. Raising awareness at the local level, Sustainable SLC—a student environmental group—planned campus-wide events to promote freedom from fossil fuels including a bike ride, an art show, and a clothing swap. The following month, SLC welcomed one of the nation's leading experts on climate change, president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone. In a lecture titled "Climate Change: Human Causes and Responses," Cicerone addressed ways to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions such as geo-engineering.
February 2008 became Footprint Forward Month at SLC. Campus residence halls and administrative offices engaged in an energy-saving competition to reduce the community's carbon footprint and increase the overall sustainability of the campus. Aiding in this endeavor, the office of Operations and Facilities encouraged students, faculty and staff to turn in incandescent bulbs in exchange for CFLs.

I agree with beilstwh - but the 40,000,000 dollar plane, and the cost to fix all the other damaged buildings and cars is more than what it would cost to lock him away for life. Just sad - I am outraged at how long it takes in this country to finally get to see the truth of what happened - it should have been available to the public immediately, its insane that we have to ask for the truth and wait for months. Despite the fact I am not a democrat - this problem is much bigger than just BHO - this was true under every president. Im not making a political comment here - I just want to see this changed once and for all.
It's unfortunate that the plane was damaged, but at least the taxpayers don't have to pay to lock the murderer up for the next 50 years.
There are to many CRJs...it won't hurt to loose one. Right?...well except for the owner by by 40,000,000 dollars.
the CRJ is actually a really nice plane...... not the 200, but the 700 is a rocket, and the 900 is nice because there is a Lav near the cockpit so you don't have to do the walk of shame :)
I loved the plane, hated the regionals - actually, I just hated the regional I was at. But then again, so did everyone else.. you can't say "mesa" and expect people to envy your position.
The 200 is horrible for a flight of any kind.. 700 and 900s are exactly like you said rockets. It seems like they take off at a 20 degree climb :O
I was sent to repo a brand new (less than 250 hour) crj700 in the winter - out of Indy to ORD - so not a full tank of jet a by any means - and I was climbing at much less than the fadec
Finger slipped - less than fadec climb detent. The captain I was flying with said "bump it into climb. So I did. A few seconds later as I was pitching for vmo
Damn iPhone. - anyway - I got chevrons pointing and the word DOWN appeared on the EHSI. We damn near penetrated the clouds perpendicularly - I bet if we dropped a pen it would have landed aft of the main cabin door. It was astonishing. The 200 was crap - but the 100s were even worse - they had inertial navigation that took 15-30 minutes to initialize - and if we tried to bypass it by putting the fms into auto tune - we kept getting DR and we would end up tens of miles off course. After flying piaggios I actually missed crj's. Lol. Just never the 200 let alone the 100
it is sad to see any plane wrecked especially a $40 million plus airport damages but that is the strangest rampage i have ever seen. how did he get into the jet if the jet was shut and the jetway door would be closed and locked anyway so how did he get in. also its not a skywest crj its got delta connections livery on the side
There are ways of getting into the crj - and any aircraft - the doors are not locked but simply closed. Jet bridges are not always left attached to the aircraft overnight - especially if the airport closes, and especially if an aircraft is brought to the gate from mx or hangar. Let's not forget there are always more than one door - and lets not forget these doors are supposed to be openable from the outside. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how he did it. The question was why. Did he want to fly off, if so why did he not even turn the steering via tiller or rudders. Perhaps he had used so much thrust that by the time he realized that he hadn't turned on the nose wheel steering it was too late and he just barely turned and ended up putting that wing through the wall.
I guess you're thinking that comair is the only delta connection flyer. It isn't. Skywest is one of them. Look at Wikipedia and you will see this info:
HideCurrent Delta Connection airlines
Comair (As of December, 2011 operating Delta Flights 2850-3238) is wholly owned and managed by Delta Air Lines Inc, and will continue to fly exclusively for Delta Air Lines d/b/a Delta Connection, while the following airlines are owned and managed independently, and flown under contract for the Delta Connection brand and network:
Republic Airways Holdings
Chautauqua Airlines (Flights 6026-6138)
Shuttle America (Flights 5868-6017)
Pinnacle Airlines Corp.
Pinnacle Airlines (Flights 3284-4369)
SkyWest, Inc.
ExpressJet Airlines (Flights 4869-5612)
SkyWest Airlines (Flights 4439-4818 and 7755-7813)
TranStates Holdings
Compass Airlines (Flights 5680-5865)
GoJet Airlines (Flights 6151-6168)
I think even that list is a little short. I seem to remember Mesa also flying delta connection back in o3 - but got booted because they suck in every way imaginable - lol
Poor plane...Poor flying.

SNY POINT BLANK TV: BRENDAN WITTWarrior dman finally explains his side of the story
Point Blank Holiday Party: details and RSVP
Brendan was kind enough to send me a few emails recently, especially nice since he'd been very low-key these last nine months. So I asked if he'd get on the SNY hotline with me. Yowza. I thought Brendan might go easy. Instead, he stood up for his reputation. Nothing wrong with candor. My respect for Scott Gordon's ability is well-documented. This is the opinion of one player who famously collided with him.

Geraldine LeBlanc
PAWTUCKET- Geraldine LeBlanc, 67, of Bucklin Street, Pawtucket died Sunday, April 1, 2012. She was the wife of Louis R. LeBlanc. They were married 47 years.
Mrs. LeBlanc was born in Providence, the daughter of the late Marty and Elizabeth Egan.
She was a nurses aid at the Memorial Hospital for many years.
LINCOLN -- It looks like the five scrimmages Mount St. Charles head coach Tom Seaver scheduled during the pre-season has paid dividends.
Then again, one in particular, he stated, was directly responsible for the Mounties' ability to post a 4-3 Division I-North victory over Lincoln High in both teams' season opener at Chet Nichols Memorial Field on Monday afternoon.
With the All-American Championship behind him and an appearance in the Jordan Brand Classic on tap for April 14, Ricky Ledo's days of competing against fellow high schoolers are dwindling to a precious few.
Naturally, the hot button topic surrounding Ledo is whether the acclaimed prospect and Providence native will face eligibility issues in his quest to suit up for Providence College next season. Such concerns largely stem from the number of high schools (a total of four) he's enrolled at since the fall of 2007, when Ledo attended Bishop Hendricken.
PAWTUCKET — Sometime overnight on Saturday, vandals pushed headstones off the bases of some 18 monuments at the Walnut Hill Cemetery, Pawtucket Police said.
The vandalism was discovered on Sunday morning and reported by Edward Ayoud, a caretaker for the section of the cemetery that is leased by the St. Mary Antiochian Orthodox Church in Pawtucket. Ayoud said he learned of the damage from a parishioner who had been visiting a relative's grave that morning and then mentioned it to him at a church service.
PAWTUCKET — Despite an effective date of April 1, the Grebien Administration showed it wasn't fooling when it came to instituting key changes in the Pawtucket Fire Department that are designed to cut down on overtime costs.
According to city officials, members of the firefighters' union received a letter several months ago notifying them that beginning April 1 and running through June 30, there is a new plan to redeploy staffing, based on more than three called-in absences on a given shift, from the mandatory contractual minimum of 31 firefighters down to 28.
Daniel R. Duarte
PAWTUCKET- Daniel R. Duarte, age 59, the owner of Dan's Auto Body Shop, died March 30, 2012 surrounded by his loving family.
He was the husband of Claudia (Cabral) Duarte, father of Julie Moitoso, Laura Fontaine, and Paul Duarte.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours Wednesday from 6-8PM in the REBELLO FUNERAL HOME, 901 Broadway, East Providence. Funeral Services are private.
Helen A. Bielecki

Lt. Richard A.
PAWTUCKET - Lt. Richard "Dick" A. Campbell, 89, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 31, 2012. He was the beloved husband of Philomena "Millie" M. (Borek) Campbell for 62 and one half years.

Mrs. Taylor was born in Woonsocket the daughter of the late Edmund and Eugenie (Guay) Brunelle.
She lived in Pawtucket most of her life. Her house and yard were always the place of gathering for her many friends and family.
You often hear the expression "what a difference a year makes," particularly when referencing the turnover rate in high school sports. In the case of the respective boys' volleyball outfits at Tolman and Mount St. Charles, if the shoe fits, wear it.
To say the past two weeks have been hectic for area baseball teams would be like saying there's no such thing as rush hour traffic in this state. Ever try to squeeze in tryouts followed by roster decisions followed by several scrimmages into a tightly confined window of time? That's a lot to digest!
Ready or not, like or not, the regular season beckons. Are some skippers wishing they had more time to iron out items of importance like rounding out the pitching staff or settling on a lineup? No doubt, but as those same coaches are already well aware, it's go time.
Dust off those rods and reels and break out the tackle box.
The 2012 trout and general freshwater fishing season begins at 6 a.m. on Saturday, April 14.
More than 20,000 anglers are expected to turn out at dawn on opening day.
Approximately 80,000 hatchery raised brook, brown, and rainbow trout with an average individual weight of one and a half pounds have been stocked by Division staff in more than 100 ponds and streams for opening day.

Buncombe County Government (BCG), with the help of community partners, the courts, law enforcement and local municipalities, is launching a comprehensive plan to address domestic violence. The goal of the comprehensive plan is to educate, connect and inspire to end violence against women in Buncombe County. An important first step is to train stakeholders in a common lethality assessment.
Buncombe County Government and MAHEC are offering a free training on Danger Assessment (DA). DA is an instrument which helps to determine the level of danger an abused woman has of being killed by her intimate partner. The tool was developed by Jacquelyn Campbell with consultation and content validity support from battered women, shelter workers, law enforcement officials and other clinical experts on bettering.
There are 3 sessions available Tuesday, August 5, 2014 for DANGER ASSESSMENT: Screening for Lethality in Domestic Violence to Save Lives.

Reproduced below is the Year-End Matching Campaign letter penned by Diana Bradshaw, who draws on her experience with the Joan Baillie Archives at the COC to remind us that growth and artistic excellence rely not only on a forward-looking vision but a mindful preservation of the past.
"At the Canadian Opera Company, as our season concludes each spring, we embark on the Year-End Matching Campaign. The concept is simple: any gift you make before June 30, 2014, will be completely matched in value by an anonymous donor. This instantly doubles the impact of your gift and goes a long way towards helping the COC with its annual operations.
Funds from the campaign will support key COC programs, including the Joan Baillie Archives, where I have worked for four years, alongside five knowledgeable and hard-working volunteers. Here, we collect, catalogue and preserve objects and documents from decades of the company's history. These include administrative records, audio and video recordings of COC performances, set and costume designs, slides and photographs, as well as newspapers, journals, periodicals and gifts by long-time subscribers of memorable opera performances.
As a repository of public history, the Joan Baillie Archives are a living record of how operatic performance has evolved in Canada over the last 64 years and where it is heading today. Furthermore, these archives are essential to the COC's sense of identity as an artistic institution. The question of who we are is as much about how the company got here as it is about where we are going. Did you know that even the COC's logo (take a look at the top of this page) is designed to symbolize this? As a palindrome-figure, it is open on both sides at once, suggesting that the present is framed by the continuing interaction between our storied past and our bright future.
The same is true of our experience at the opera house. Each production is part of a perpetual conversation between tradition and innovation, between our past and our future, out of which emerges the vital, contemporary present. By giving to the Year-End Campaign, you will be supporting that process on the stage, as well as in the archives.
I hope we can count on your help with the Year-End Matching Campaign this year. With your support we will be able to ensure that the past continues to inform our present and inspire our future.
Many thanks.
Help us collect, archive and preserve the history of the Canadian Opera Company. Maximize your gift by giving before June 30, 2014.
Call us at 416-847-4949 or Donate Now!

In Massenet's Don Quichotte, the fair and lovely Dulcinée is wooed by a variety of suitors other than the aging knight himself. The suitors comprise of two tenors, a mezzo-soprano and a soprano, the latter two being 'pants roles'. But did you know that almost all of the suitors are COC Ensemble Studio graduates? Meet the singers who bring Dulcinée's entourage to life!
Pedro: Sasha Djihanian
Canadian soprano Sasha Djihanian is in her second and final year of the COC Ensemble Studio. After making her opera debut in Opéra de Montréal's 2009 production of The Magic Flute, she was a national finalist in the 2011 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. She also represented Canada in the 2011 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World and won the First Annual COC Ensemble Studio Competition that same year. During her time at the Canadian Opera Company, she appeared as Fiordiligi in the Ensemble performance of Così fan tutte, as Alisa in Lucia di Lammermoor, and she stepped in as Annio in a mainstage performance of La clemenza di Tito, in addition to playing the role in the Ensemble performance. Although Sasha is graduating from the program this year after completing Don Quichotte as Dulcinée's young suitor Pedro, she'll return to the COC as Zerlina next winter in Don Giovanni!
You can follow Sasha on Twitter: @SashaDjihanian and watch her BBC Cardiff performance on YouTube.
Garcias: Ariana Chris
A former member of the L'Atelier Lyrique de Montreal program, Ariana Chris makes her COC debut in the role of Garcias, Dulcinée's studious suitor. Ariana is a Greek-Canadian mezzo-soprano who represented Greece in the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition in 2005, and in 2010 she performed the Greek National Anthem for the 2010 Winter Olympics closing ceremony! Ariana has performed with companies such as Opera Hong Kong; Opéra de Montréal; Angers Nantes Opéra; Santa Fe Opera; Le Poisson Rouge; Carnegie Hall; Opéra Français de New York; New York City Opera, where she made her debut as Lola in Cavalleria rusticana; and has collaborated with Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
You can learn more about Ariana on her website, and watch her perform "Una voce poco fa" on Youtube.
Juan: Owen McCausland
Tenor Owen McCausland may only be finishing his second year in the Ensemble Studio program, but he has spent quite a bit of time on the mainstage this season. Recently Owen has appeared as the Servant in A Masked Ball, Ferrando in Così fan tutte (Ensemble Studio performance), Parpignol in La Bohème and Reverend Horace Adams in Peter Grimes, and he's currently doing double-duty this spring as Lord Cecil in Roberto Devereux. But audiences may know him best from when he stepped into the title role in La clemenza di Tito on the mainstage as well as the Ensemble performance. In Don Quichotte, Owen plays the hotblooded suitor Juan, who attempts to convince Dulcinée that the aging knight is not a suitable companion. In the 2014/2015 season, Owen returns to the Ensemble Studio program for a third year.
You can read a great review of Owen's La clemenza di Tito performance here.
Rodriguez: Andrew Haji
Andrew's role in Don Quichotte caps off his first successful year in the Ensemble Studio program! Previously Andrew was seen onstage at the Four Seasons Centre as Ferrando in the Ensemble Studio performance of Così fan tutte, and in a variety of Free Concert Series performances. Andrew holds a masters of music in opera from the University of Toronto (UofT) where his credits include Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore, Cecco in Haydn's Il mondo della luna, Vanderdendur/Ragotski in Candide, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, Lacouf/Reporter from Paris in Poulenc's Les mamelles de Tirésias, and the title role in Rob Ford: The Opera! In Don Quichotte, Andrew plays Rodriquez, the wise suitor who warns Juan to take Don Quichotte more seriously!
You can learn more about Andrew on his website, and follow him on Twitter: @AndrewHaji
And before you go...
Take a quick peek at Sasha Djihanian in costume as Pedro!
Don Quichotte runs until May 24, 2014 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. For tickets and more information visit here.

|Bear goes mattress shopping
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 21 June 2007 20:09
Earlier this week, a bear went mattress shopping in
Boone police received a report of a bear cub in the mall parking lot.
Later, a 150-pound bear was rummaging in the dumpster near the Belk entrance.
Police soon learned the bear was not a cub. The bear soon stumbled across the
automatic door of Sims Furniture and Mattress Gallery. Boone police blocked
traffic on Winklers Creek until the animal was safely back in the wooded area.

If you're a parent, you might already know the sounds of a child or children asking for a pet or to add just one more to the family. I know I pestered the living daylights out of my mom for a cat. I'm a pet lover but I don't recommend a family having a pet until they are ready for many reasons. Here are some tips if you are thinking about adding a pet to the family:
– Make sure you are financially ready to be responsible. Of course, this is more on the part of the adult than it is a child.
– Consider if your child or children are old enough for a pet to be around especially one that may be rambunctious. A fish tank may be another story but then again you want to keep it out of reach for certain ages.
– If your child promises to 'walk the dog every day', cover with your child before agreeing to the dog, what happens when they don't walk the dog. Talk to them about why the dogs need to go out for a walk. Have a plan in place if your child cannot walk the dog by themselves. This goes for the promises of feeding the pet, cleaning a litter box or cage.
– As part of your planning, see if you can enroll with your child as part of a pet training program.
– Have your child read books first (if they are old enough) on taking care of a particular kind of pet.
– You can go to www.thebestcatlitterbox.com to learn more on cats and find cat facts.
– Involve your child in selecting the accessories that you need to have on hand. Being fully invested and interactive before the pet arrives may help later on down the road when it comes time to question the responsibility.
– Help your child understand that it's not so easy to take the pet 'back to the store' if they just don't want to be responsible.
Planning is key to adding a pet to any family, children or not children or just one child. Make sure you as the adult have time to add a pet to the mix. No one wants to regret adding a pet and not being able to take care of them.

That's right folks according to IntoMobile.com Nokia is set to release a new cell phone sometime in September. If the rumors are right this will be the Nokia 3720 and it will be a waterproof phone that is also dustproof.
Being waterproof and dustproof the Nokia 3720 will let you worry less about common problems that plague cell phones. Many people spill a little water on them. Another feature is the Nokia 3720 is also shockproof. This means that it can be dropped and the phone will still work. Granted we're not saying take it to the top of a 5 story building but you won't have to worry anymore if it falls of the table or slips out your pocket
So for now this is simply a rumor and we will have to all wait to an official announcement with specs but at least it looks promising.

Archive for the 'Gatford' tag
Four-Links – Sanford drags in the Sixties, BMW 3002, Gatford, Doukohu Eve
* For fans of East Coast drag racing, you'll not want to miss this collection of photos from Sanford, Maine's dragstrip in the 1960s. (via)
* No, the BMW "3002" was never anything more than a one-off 2002 with an E9 coupe front end and six-cylinder, but it's still noteworthy. IEDEI has the story on why it was built and what happened to it.
* You've surely seen the one photo of the Dutch Gatford/Gatso that's been around the web a billion times, but what more do you know about it? Geoff Hacker at Forgotten Fiberglass this week filled us in with scans from a Gatford brochure and info on how it was built.
* This past week marked a significant, but little known, anniversary in the world of Japanese collector cars. Thousands of bosozoku motorcycles and cars took over the streets of Tokyo November 22, 1978, in what has since become known as Doukohu Eve. Japanese Nostalgic Car has more on the event.
* Finally, you may have seen the video of the Poteet and Main Speed Demon going 462 MPH on the Bonneville Salt Flats earlier this year and wondered exactly why George and Ron haven't been celebrated for breaking the piston-engine, wheel-driven land-speed record. Short answer: They couldn't back it up with a return run. The video above, "Just Believe – The Year the Speed Demon Rewrote History," provides the full story of the Speed Demon team's 2011 efforts.

What travelers to Munich are saying
Magnificent Munich
Munich is much more than BMWs, beer and sexy accents (although those elements are still important and present). Munich is a city of style, which can be seen in the funky, chic streets of Haidhousen. It is also a city of high culture, as evidenced by the Deutsches Museum, and a city of history, which shows itself in so many locations, most notably in the medieval Isartor City Gate.
On top of all that, Munich has a hell of a nightlife that almost makes Berlin hang its head in shame. It is an adult playground of pure decadence. Excellent beer and nightlife are teemed with rich food and a constant flow of tourists and locals alike, all revelling in the beauty of this vibrant and picturesque city.
Munich will have you exploring the most magnificent specimens of historical Bavarian architecture and enriching museums by day and then trawling the streets for a post-clubbing Bratwurst by night.
By the way, you haven't experienced Oktoberfest until you do it in Munich. We're talking PARTY CENTRAL, with all the busty wenches, messy tourists and drinking games your liver can handle.
Munich's Top 10
10. Viktualienmarkt A popular, touristy market that'll see you doling out the cash on everything from gourmet produce to souvenirs.
5. Hofbräuhaus This brewery is what beer dreams are made of. Come sober and leave… not so sober.
9. Residenz A castle filled with the jewellery, art and furniture of Bavarian royals. Fancy stuff.
4. Frauenkirche This Catholic cathedral is the biggest in the city and gives you an incredible view all the way to the Bavarian Alps.
8. Kaufingerstraße Probably the richest strip in Munich. Peer into Prada and gasp at Gucci while the plethora of BMWs and Mercs cruise by.
3. Englischer Garten A massive park that will keep you occupied for a day and then some. You can even go surfing on the River Eisbach. No joke.
7. Tierpark Hellabrunn Munich's zoo is fun for everyone, young and old.
2. Oktoberfest Does this really need explaining?
6. Münchner Stadtmuseum Take a tour through the city's history and then make your way over to the musical instrument and puppetry sections.
1. Marienplatz The central square of the city is home to dozens of sights as well as great places to eat and drink.
Munich History
- New Town Hall – With its gothic-style facade and huge tower, it is a striking piece of architecture with an incredible clock.
- Old Town Hall – Has been in its position for more than 800 years.
- Isartor – The most easterly of Munich's three surviving gates that used to form part of surrounding walls of the city dating back to the 14th century.
- Peterskirche – The oldest church in Munich and full of historical legends.
- Munich Residenz – Former royal palace turned 600-year-old museum.
Munich Art & Culture
- Hofbräuhaus – A world-famous beer hall right in the heart of the city.
- Munich Bavaria-Filmstadt – Amongst the largest TV and film studio complexes in all of Europe.
- Marienplatz – A bustling public square full of cultural delights.
- Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady – The largest church in Munich, with twin towers that dominate the city skyline.
- Alte Pinakothek – Home to more than 800 European masterpieces and one of the world's oldest art galleries.
Munich Shopping
- Maximillianstrasse – A glamorous shopping street running right through the heart of the city.
- Viktualienmarkt – Traditional-style market offering a wide range of both local and exotic produce.
- Loden Frey – The specialist department store that customers flock to from far and wide to pick up top-quality gear.
- Ingolstadt Village – Just out of town but housing internationally famed brands and labels in more than 100 boutiques.
- Fünf Höfe – A modern arcade packed with stores of diverse products that you must see.
Gay & Lesbian Munich
- Gaertnerplatz – The main area for the Munich gay and lesbian scene, full of trendy bars, shops and restaurants.
- M54 – A popular gay sauna, which is a great place to meet friends new and old.
- Camp – A gay club and the sole men-only establishment in the city.
- Bau – A popular place to hang out.
- Cafe Glück – Geared toward both gays and lesbians, but is usually populated mainly by females.
Munich Outdoor
- Olympic Tower – Its revolving restaurant at the top offers truly spectacular views.
- Munich Zoo – A wonderful day out for children and adults alike.
- Olympic Park – A popular leisure area with an abundance of recreational facilities.
- English Garden – A large public park right in the centre of Munich.
- Starnberg Lake – Just 20 minutes from the centre of Munich is a huge expanse of water presenting a great day out right on the doorstep.
Munich Sport
- Allianz Arena is a truly staggering development with the stadium changing colour to match whoever plays.
- EHC Munich is the local hockey team based at the Olympic Ice Rink.
- The BMW International Open is a major golfing event that attracts an international field of players to the Munich Eichenried Club.
- The DAV climbing centre is Europe's largest indoor and outdoor climbing facility.
- Nordic walking is a very popular pastime.
Munich LocalCity Centre
The city's hub offers countless things to see and do. Start by checking out the touristy goodness of the Marienplatz, including the Glockenspiel with it's jolly, dancing clockwork characters and the golden shimmer of the Mariensäule. Next, make your way to some of the most ornate churches in the city, including the Asamkirche and Frauenkirche. Once you're done witnessing the spectacular architecture, hit up the Residenz for a dose of royalty and then end with a visit to the Deutsches Museum, one of the best scientific museums in the world.
Once you've had your fill of history and culture, head over to Kaufingerstr and Gärtnerplatz for some epic shopping, a nice meal and a hefty amount of Hofbräu.
Neuhausen/ Nymphenburg
This tranquil area is not as tourist-heavy but still provides some gems. Neuhausen is home to the world's biggest beer garden, Königlicher Hirschgarten, so why not start your day with a beer breakfast? Hey, you're on holiday.
Next on the menu should be the gardens of the biggest Baroque palace in Germany, Schloss Nymphenburg. While you can head into the palace itself, there aren't many rooms available to visitors so the beautiful gardens are the best place to explore. Next to the gardens you'll find the Museum Mensch und Natur, a smallish museum packed with modern exhibits.
If you're after some cute souvenirs for Mum, try the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory close to the palace. It offers beautifully crafted porcelain goods.
This is the district for the young and hip. The main streets are packed with bars, clubs, game halls, stylish stores, restaurants, cafes, cinemas and a bunch of other entertaining spots. The areas of Ostbahnhof and the famous Kultfabrik are the places to go if you need a good club. But if restaurants, cafes and low-key bars are more your thing, head to Optimolwerke. Classical music toot your horn? The Gasteig will make you happy.
This trendy neighbourhood will see to all your hipster shopping needs thanks to the nearby university and all those annoyingly cool kids. There are also a bunch of cute little coffee shops and higher-end stores, too. For a more relaxing day, get to the Englischer Garten, a beautiful garden that's nearly twice the size of Central Park (woah!) and filled with walking trails, flourishing greenery and, of course, a beer garden called Chinesischer Turm. Those crazy Germans love their beer!
There are also many museums and galleries to be explored including the Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek and, if you're up for very cool and very modern art, the Pinakothek der Moderne.
Munich Eat & Drink
Acquarello A big ol' mural of the Italian countryside on the main wall goes perfectly with a purely Italian menu. They also do cooking classes.
Tantris This place has five dining areas, but the main one is dark and sexy. Enjoy refined Euro cuisine and then grab a cocktail at the elegant bar.
Baby! This bar/lounge/club is great for a chill, a drink and a dance. Expect plenty of house and electro beats into the early hours.
Geisel's Vinothek Conveniently located next to the Train Station wine lovers will adore the mind-boggling selection of wines at this rustically chic restaurant serving Mediterranean eats.
Schumann's American Bar The rich and famous often come here for an expensive cocktail (or 10) and a bevy of shenanigans. Visit the icon now and make your friends jealous later. The waiter with slicked-back grey hair is Charlie Schumann himself.
Königlicher Hirschgarten This is part restaurant and part MAMMOTH beer garden that can accommodate over 8000 bums. Enjoy Bavarian tunes while you down a few too many beers. Hirchsgarten
Boettner's Decked out in Euro-classic furnishings (and some cool wall sculptures) and serving up modernised Bavarian eats, it's a winner! Pfisterstraße
A sleek, sexy and slightly pretentious club that hosts big DJs and some of the hottest babes in Munich. Singles, this is your ultimate playground. Paris Hilton digs it, but we're not sure if that's a recommendation or not.
Waldwirtschaft Coolest name ever. Hit up this 2500-seat beer garden if you want a celeb sighting along with your beer and bratwurst.
Café Glockenspiel This renowned café set right on Marienplatz serves great coffee, pastries and light lunches. It gets really packed so head in early. City Centre
Munich, Germany
Munich, the capital city of the Bavarian region of Germany, is situated on the Isar River. Located north of the Bavarian Alps, this city is the third largest in Germany and is home to many exciting attractions. It has a long, rich history overflowing with culture and art that can't be missed when visiting Bavaria.
Munich Attractions
- Bavarian State Opera
- Neue Pinakothek
- Theresienwiese
Munich Activities
- See the Greek Temple in the Englischer Garten
- Tour the magnificent Residenz Munchen (Munich Residence)
- Visit the Munchener Tierpark Hellabrunn (Munich Zoo)
Munich Climate
As Munich is close to the Alps, the climate is considered to be continental. The city experiences a great deal of precipitation due to its high altitude. Winters are quite chilly and last from December through March; summers are a great time to visit with comfortable temperatures of about 73°F (23°C).
Munich Events
Stadtgründungsfest celebrates the founding of Munich back in the 12th Century and is a fun-filled day of parades, music and dance, markets and a helluva lot of beer and sausages. 18-19 June.
Tickle your funny bone at the Munich Comic Festival in late-June (it's a biennial event so make sure you check first). The Künstlerhaus am Lenbachplatz hosts exhibitions, as well as a stack of comedians who'll be sure to have you slappin' your thighs.
Late-June to mid-July welcomes the Tollwood Summer Festival, a fiesta that brings a bunch of musical performances from all different genres, cabaret, circus and dance to open-air stages and tents in Olympic Park. Come along to see some big international names, as well as smaller, lesser-known artists.
Bring out the feather boas and rainbow flags for Munich's Christopher Street Day each July. This two-day party is all about fighting for the gay rights and equality and is always a fun and rowdy affair. Both native and international musicians and DJs keep the party going.
Oktoberfest in early October is the biggest festival in the city. Each of the major breweries has their own tent filled with beer (duh), entertainment, hot barmaids, food and hoards of (mostly) happy drunks.
When To Go
- Avoid Munich's summer and its winter for their extreme temperatures and head over in spring (May and June) and autumn. September and October are great for pleasant weather and the famous Oktoberfest.
- Winter average: -4°C (25°F)
- Spring average: 15°C (59°F)
- Summer average: 29°C (84°F)
- Autumn average: 9°C (48°F)
What To Miss
Avoid getting too messy as a result of an over-enthusiastic sampling of the city's beery delights. Chase with a glass of water and you should be on the right track!
The stations in the city are often refuges for homeless people and petty thieves, so keep your eyes peeled for shifty characters and try not to act too much like a clueless tourist.
Getting There & Around
The Franz Josef Strauss International Airport is easily accessed by suburban train lines, trams and buses. There are also taxis and hired cars that can be used to reach the airport and city, as well as surrounding areas.
When traversing Munich, visitors will find the city to be pedestrian friendly, especially in the downtown area. Cycling is also suggested as an alternative to motorized transport since the city has safe, well-marked bike lanes.
General Information
Postcard-perfect Munich is a cosmopolitan city of 1.3 million people. Second to Berlin in tourist allure, the famous Biergarten capital is a vibrant university town that unites the folksy charm of old Bavaria with the Autobahn pace of modern Germany.
Munich has enough history per square block to exhaust the most dynamic tourists. As a foremost hub of culture in Europe, with more museums and festivals than most, even the most cursory of visits to Munich can load the itinerary. Set amid the beautiful confines of Upper Bavaria, the Alps, and the rivers Isar and Würm, the city is a complete destination.
More Attractions
The Marienplatz has been the central square of Munich since 1158, a fine destination to glean a vivid grasp of the city and take in some fine attractions. Among the most important are the Old and New City Hall, Church of St. Peter and a popular pedestrian retail and restaurant zone.
The Frauenkirche, the principal city church, was built between 1468 and 1494, with several renovations since. The massive cathedral can hold 20,000 and contains many prominent works of art and royal tombs.
The Isartor City Gate is one of the most historic landmarks in Munich. The large stone wall dates back to the 14th century.
The Baroque and Renaissance Justice Palace is impossible to ignore. The marvellous court house dwarfs most landmarks in Munich and offers a great visitors tour.
Nymphenburg Palace, from a purely architectural standpoint, is by far the most impressive attraction in Munich. With treasures too numerous to name, from period furniture to art and sculpture, the grand palace sits on a lake and beautiful tract of parkland.
Munich is a remarkable museum city, with the Deutsches Museum at the very heart. The foremost science and technology museum in the world is on a small island on the Isar.
More Events
The party in Munich begins with Oktoberfest. The celebration of German beer and folklore takes place over 16 days in September and October, with crowds in excess of 6 million for the annual event.
The Munich Carnival features weeks of parades, music and general revelry in anticipation of Ash Wednesday.
The Spring Festival is the emphatic annual break from winter, with a market and fair on the Theresienwiese.
Held every other May, the biennial Opera Festival is one of the paramount celebrations of classical music in Europe.
The Winter Tollwood Festival warms the citizenry of Munich in cold December, with a slew of festive affairs on Olympia Park.
More Info On Climate
While most guides cite spring and fall as the best seasons to visit Munich, the stark truth is that if you can take a little winter cold and summer heat, any time of year is ideal.
- Winter (November to February) -5-6°C
- Spring (March to April) 0-13°C
- Summer (May to August) 7-23°C
- Fall (September to October) 4-19°C
More Info On Getting Around
The MVV system is one of the best ways to get around the city with buses, trams, the S-Bahn and the U-Bahn for all your travel needs. Buy a multi-ticket to get more bang for your buck.

This is one of my favorite bundts! It uses Fall's perfect fruit - the Fuyu Persimmon. It's really important to know the difference between the fuyu and hachiya persimmon. The Fuyu you can eat hard (like an apple) or soft, but the Hachiya can only be eaten soft. Please don't mix up the two! Walnuts and raisins, ground cloves and cinnamon makes this Bundt full of fall flavors.
This is a post where I can say "As Seen In"! :) This recipe appears in Christie Matheson's Cake Simple book (pages 82-83). This post talks about my 15 minutes of Bundt fame!
Here are my mom and dad and their fuyu kaki (Japanese for persimmon) tree!
Happy Happy Happy Bundt Day! ! ! ! ! Thanks for playing along with me this year and I can't wait to see your submissions for the round-up!
Whew. I think I'm going to put away the Bundt pans for a bit and make some brownies now. :)

Anyone who drives up a little winding driveway on Maple Drive in Lisle will find a very large brick building dating back to the beginning of the 20th century with the words Sacred Heart Monastery etched in the stone across the doorway. Ring the doorbell and the pitter patter of feet rush to oblige visitors from the outside world.
The elderly Benedictine women who have lived most of their adult lives there will gladly provide a tour of their beloved chapel and buildings and willingly chat with anyone who will listen to what their way of life is about.
AUDIO SLIDESHOW: Tour Sacred Heart Monastery and hear from the Benedictine sisters, as told by ChicagoStorytelling's Victoria Beeks, Maria Khan, and Brian Miller.
"I've led a balanced life," Sister Benita Jasurda, 82, said. "I take time out to pray, to be quiet, to read. Time to be alone, time to pray, and time to meditate. And also time to be out among the rest of the population." Continue reading

We are one of the largest FIAT dealers in Canada. We serve communities all over northern Alberta including Hinton, Spruce Grove, Cold Lake, Leduc, and Fort McMurray to name a few.
We know how
difficult it can be to decide which of the 4 Edmonton
FIAT dealers to
buy from. We all look pretty much the same, don't we? We all sell the
same product manufactured in the same plants by the same people. All
FIAT dealers in Alberta have factory trained technicians and stock an
ample supply of Mopar replacement parts. All the sales people, including
ours, are licensed to sell in the province by AMVIC (Alberta Motor
Vehicle Industry Council). In fact, if someone were blindfolded and
dropped off at any FIAT showroom in the city, how many people would be
able to quickly identify which store they were in when the blindfold was
place to start might be talking to others who have purchased from the
dealer or dealers you are considering. As one of the newest Edmonton FIAT dealerships, we don't have thousands of former customers yet. We do
however have dozens of
testimonials from customers who have purchased from
us over the past couple years.
We are working very hard everyday to make your shopping experience a good one by asking for, and responding to, your feedback. We are reaching out to our customers through our blog where we have posted articles and videos, including tips on how and when to get the best deal on a new or used car in Edmonton. Please take a few minutes to surf our site and, if you would like to read more about our unique way of doing business, check out our blog at http://www.AskScott.ca

Yes and no.
The God of my understanding developed a wonderful mechanism so that everything does not happen at once. It is called time. As an Alcoholic I found that my memory came back slowly, frequently through the aide of others. What has this to do with your statement, which I agree with by the way??
About 10 years sober I retired from the US Navy and went back to my family. I was sitting in my sister in law's home and I spotted a really bad stain on the otherwise beautiful living room rug and I asked how that happened.
her response was "don't you remember?" That in my experience is usually not followed by something good. It turns out that I had carried a drink into her house many years ago and spilled it on her carpet causing the stain.
It was obvious at that point that I had more step 9 work to be done. I have had other similar experiences and for a while I wondered if I would ever be finished with step 9 but it has been a long time now since I have had a memory jogger so maybe I am finished. Only God knows for sure.

Weird SQL Results
Chris Taylor raised a good question.
Here is the interesting part (to me) – Sometimes it returns 1 row, sometimes it returns more than 1 row, and sometimes it returns no rows. To my mind, "trunc(dbms_random.value(1,500)" should return a random value between 1 & 500 every time and just one value. Is this weird, or is it just me???
Basically he's wondering why querying a table on a randomly-chosen unique identifier does not always return exactly 1 row.
At first glance it seems nonsensical and looks like a bug, but really, it's not – in fact, Oracle is doing exactly the right thing (anecdotally, a colleague has told me that SQL Server gets this particular behaviour wrong).
A simple test case: the inner query generates exactly 100 rows, with the numbers 1 to 100. The outer query then queries this result set, with the intention of picking one of those rows only:
select * from ( select rownum r from dual connect by level <= 100 ) where r = trunc(dbms_random.value(1,100));
However, what happens here is that Oracle knows that dbms_random.value is not deterministic; and the predicates (WHERE clause) must be evaluated once for each row returned from the FROM clause. Since dbms_random.value is not deterministic, Oracle knows it must re-evaluate it for each row, separately – which means it is comparing a different number for each row returned.
So, for example, Oracle looks at row 1, with the value 1. It generates a random number, e.g. 12, and so the predicate evaluates to FALSE, and the row is not returned. Oracle then looks at row 2, which has the value 2. It generates a random number, e.g. 2, and so the predicate evaluates to TRUE, and the row is returned. It does this for each row until the 100th is evaluated and then the query stops.
If none of the 100 random numbers happen to coincide with the values returned from the table, then the query will return no rows.
Quiz question: what is the theoretical maximum number of rows the above query could ever return?
To fix it so that Oracle only evaluates the selection criteria once, we just need to wrap it in another subquery:
select * from ( select rownum r from dual connect by level <= 100 ) where r = (select trunc(dbms_random.value(1,100)) from dual);
Gary permalink
The returned value must be LESS than the high_value supplied to dbms_random, so you won't get a row where r=100. So I'll opt for 99, though the chances of that happening are pretty astronomical. Maybe calculating the odds will be the followup question.
PS. The behaviour becomes more obviously correct if your query is like
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE col_1 = TRUNC(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(col_2, col_3))
I can't think where you would use that, though possibly
UPDATE table
SET col_1 = TRUNC(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(col_min, col_max))
might have a use case.

Critter Control has Virginia offices in Northern Shenandoah, Northern Virginia, Richmond, Virginia Beach, Charlottesville
Have you been hearing disturbing sounds at night around your Virginia home? If so, you may have a bat control problem!
Bats in the United States are almost always beneficial. Many bats feed on insects and can consume up to half their body weight in one night's feeding. Occasionally, however, they become a nuisance inside buildings or pose a public health problem. The bats that most often become a problem around people are those that live in colonies or groups, such as little brown bats and big brown bats. These species sometimes hibernate or roost inside buildings. When this happens to you, call Critter Control at 1-800-CRITTER for your bat removal needs.
It is very common for bats to enter homes or businesses in Virginia through open windows or unscreened fireplaces. Don't worry; Virginia Critter Control has the bat control technicians and wildlife control personnel Virginia to eliminate your bat control problems in the safest ways possible. The team at Critter Control in Virginia is expertly trained in bat removal techniques including bat trapping, bat proofing, bat exclusion and bat netting. All of our bat removal methods are environmentally friendly and ecologically safe to ensure that only humane bat control is practiced in Virginia.
If you need to get rid of bats and have found a bat in your home, it is important to remember that bats can be very dangerous animals if handled incorrectly. Many carry infectious diseases, like rabies, and should only be handled by bat control professionals who are trained in bat control and expulsion techniques.
If you have a bat problem contact Critter Control of Virginia to find a Virginia bat removal specialist at 1-800-CRITTER.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has praised a legislative proposal that addresses the issue of the frequency with which firearms and ammunition manufacturers pay a federal excise tax on their sales.
The bill was introduced by Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
The Firearms Fairness and Affordability Act will allow the firearms and ammunition industry to pay the firearms and ammunition excise tax (FAET) on a quarterly basis – instead of bi-weekly – the same payment schedule on which every other industry supporting conservation pays the federal excise tax.
FAET is a major source of wildlife conservation funding in the U.S.
"Singling out the firearms industry for tax payments every two weeks is bureaucratic and discriminatory," said Senator Mike Crapo, an Idaho Republican, who joined Senator Baucus in sponsoring the bill and is the current co-chair of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus.
He added, "Changing to a quarterly excise tax payment system will allow firearms manufacturers to reinvest funds into developing new products and marketing efforts."
NSSF is the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry.
