Holiday decorations and promotional supplies for the Pamelia Fire Department were damaged or ruined Sunday night in a fire at the departments former fire hall on County Route 16.
The fire destroyed a set of picnic benches and damaged a portable sign and a collection of handmade wooden reindeer used for holiday parades.
Several departments responded about 7:30 p.m., shortly after the fire was reported by a motorist. Firefighters put the blaze out by 8 p.m. Nobody was in the building at the time, and no one was injured.
Much of the damage was to the right rear portion of the building, with the fire piercing a hole in the exterior. The cause was under investigation; Pamelia Fire Chief Harry E. Faulk Jr. said nobody was known to have been in the building for at least a week.
First to respond were state police Trooper Thomas E. Miller and Kip J. LaClair, who lives next door and leases one side of the building from the department to hold music supplies.
It was kind of a smoldering-type thing, Mr. Miller said.
Mr. Miller kicked in the door, and Mr. LaClair, a charter member of the department, used the troopers fire extinguisher.
This thing was rolling, Mr. LaClair said. While he was spraying into the building, Mr. LaClair said, the windows blew out. The building was not destroyed, however.
Firefighters from Pamelia, Northpole and Evans Mills arrived a few minutes later to finish putting out the fire. A National Grid crew also came to cut power to the building.
Mr. LaClair, whose music equipment was undamaged, said that if the trooper had not responded as quickly as he did, the fire would have turned out much worse.
Mr. Faulk did not have an estimated value for the damaged and ruined items, but said items such as the reindeer were priceless, as he, his father and another department member made and painted them by hand about 12 years ago.
The burned sign and benches were going to be used next week during the departments clambake, Mr. Faulk said.

NAS hardware is similar to the traditional file server equipped with direct attached storage. However it differs considerably on the software side. The operating system and other software on the NAS unit provides only the functionality of data storage, data access and the management of these functionalities. Use of NAS devices for other purposes (like scientific computations or running database engine) is strongly discouraged. Many vendors also purposely make it hard to develop or install any third-party software on their NAS device by using closed source operating systems and protocol implementations. In other words, NAS devices are server appliances.

The first 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class destined for the showroom has rolled off the assembly line in the automaker's Sindelfingen plant in Germany. All S-Class models, including short- and long-wheelbase sedans and the new S-Class Coupe, will be built at the plant, which received about one billion euros (about $1.33 billion U.S.) in updates to produce the redesigned model.
"Our production is breaking the mold," said Mercedes-Benz's Andreas Renschler, in a release. "We made it fit for the future by implementing numerous new processes for manufacturing the S-Class."
With a vast range of available options, the automaker claims it's unlikely any two S-Class sedans will be exactly the same during the flagship model's production run.
The automaker has invested heavily in the plant for production of the sixth-generation S-Class. Plant employees have undergone training to assemble the new chassis and body, which are constructed from a mixture of aluminum and steel. Other investments include a more efficient assembly process that reduces the amount of energy consumed per vehicle produced by about 20 percent. Late last year, we reported on Mercedes' decision to cut S-Class production from two shifts to just one, but the new model should have no problem keeping demand high this year.
When the 2014 S-Class sedan arrives in the U.S., it will be powered by a 455-hp twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Expect more engine choices to follow, including hybrid and diesel variants as well as 12-cylinder options. Rear-drive models are expected to arrive in U.S. showrooms in September, while all-wheel-drive models should show up in November.

Federal Child Labor Laws: Are You in Compliance?
It was not mere imagination when Department of Labor (DOL) inspectors arrived at a camp in the northeast to inspect records concerning the employment of minors. By the time the inspectors left, they had levied fines of $70,000 for multiple child labor violations including dining hall workers under sixteen working more than eight hours a day and beginning work before 7 a.m.
The United States Department of Labor has launched a new initiative and stepped up efforts to protect young workers and bring employers into compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the primary federal statute dealing with child labor. The department's new effort to promote compliance with federal child labor laws has resulted in stricter enforcement and substantial civil penalties against offenders. Employers of young workers must take a hard look at their practices to be sure they are in compliance with federal law.
The FLSA was enacted in 1938 to deter and eliminate oppressive child labor by placing limits on the ages of employment, the hours children work, and the type of work they perform. It was initially an attack on such abuses as employing young children for long hours in coal mines, cotton mills, and garment factories. Today, however, employers engaged in much less severe employment practices may find themselves in violation of the FLSA and/or the target of a DOL investigation.
This article is an introduction to the requirements of the FLSA and its corresponding regulations as they apply to child labor issues. It is not a comprehensive survey of applicable law. Camps must also consult state law. All fifty states have enacted child labor legislation regulating the minimum ages, types of employment and hours of young workers. These state laws may, in some cases, be more restrictive than federal laws and regulations.
Do FLSA child labor provisions apply to my camp?
Most likely, they do. Child labor provisions of federal law apply to all camps with an annual gross volume of business of at least $500,000. If the aggregate of your camp income and expense is less than $500,000, contact legal counsel in your state to determine whether you are exempt. In addition, a particular child worker may be covered, even if the whole camp is not, if that child actually engages in interstate commerce, such as a child who works in a mail room or on the telephone. Even if you are exempt from federal requirements, many states have similar child labor laws from which it is likely that you will NOT be exempt.
There is NO seasonal exemption from the child labor provisions of the FLSA like there is for the minimum wage provisions. Further, the requirements of the FLSA may not be waived by agreement between the employer and the employee or, in the case of a minor, the employee's parents.
Requirements for Workers Who Are 14 or 15 Years Old
Under federal law, camp employment of workers under fourteen is prohibited. Fourteen- and fifteen-year-old workers may engage in a variety of occupations, but only under certain conditions. The following restrictions apply:
Not more than eight hours per day
Not more than forty hours per week
Not before 7 a.m.
Not later than 9 p.m.
School Year
Not more than eighteen hours per week
Not more than three hours on a school day
Not more than eight hours on a non-school day
Not before 7 a.m.
Not later than 7 p.m.
In addition, fourteen and fifteen-year-old workers may not do work that involves the following: an occupation deemed "hazardous" by the DOL (see below); attending or operating a hoisting apparatus; operating or servicing a motor vehicle; operating power-driven machinery; maintenance of machinery; outside window washing that employs a ladder or scaffold; operating or maintaining power-driven food slicers (such as a meat slicer in a camp kitchen) or bakery-type mixers; work in freezers and meat coolers; loading and unloading goods to and from trucks, railroad cars, or conveyors; baking; or cooking (except at soda fountains, lunch counters, snack bars, or cafeteria serving counter).
Requirements for Workers Who Are 16 to 17 Years Old
At sixteen, minors may be employed in most occupations other than those deemed "hazardous." Special rules govern the employment of young workers in agriculture and are not covered here. The list of hazardous occupations is long and includes, but is not limited to work that involves: roofing operations; the use of power-driven, paper-product machines; and the use of power-driven saws and wood-working machines. The operation of a motor vehicle on a public road or highway is also prohibited unless: (1) the motor vehicle does not exceed 6,000 pounds; (2) the driving is done in daylight hours; (3) the operation of the vehicle is occasional and incidental to the employment; and (4) the child has a valid state license for the type of driving and has completed a state-approved driver-education course. The proscription against employment in hazardous occupations applies even when the minor is employed by a parent.
At sixteen, the federal law limitations on starting and ending hours are lifted, as are the limitations of hours of work per day. Most states, however, have some hour limitations on sixteen and seventeen-year-olds.
Applicability of the FLSA to Counselors-in-Training, Volunteers, and Camper/Workers
Many camps have "Counselors-in-Training" that provide supervision and support as part of their training program in return for a lower camper fee. Camps also utilize volunteers and campers to provide services in the kitchen or stables in return for reduced tuition. When they are limited to truly volunteer service, intended primarily to benefit the individual and not just the camp, these individuals are not "employees" and, thus, are not covered by the child labor provisions. However, if they are used to perform regular work normally performed by employees, the DOL could take an aggressive position and argue that such minors are protected by the FLSA child labor provisions.
Record Keeping
In addition to actually complying with the FLSA's child labor restrictions, employers must also maintain and preserve certain records to prove their compliance. Records must be maintained that specify the employee's name, address, gender, occupation, and birthday if under nineteen. Records must indicate the time of day and the day of the week on which an employee's workweek begins, the hours worked each workday, and the total hours worked each workweek.
In addition, records must show the date each employee was paid, the pay period covered, and the total wages received for each pay period. Most records must be retained and preserved for at least three years. Other requirements may also apply, so camps must consult the FLSA and the regulations for further specificity.
Work Permits and Proof of Age
It is advisable to obtain a certificate or proof of age for young workers who are within two years of the legal work age or who look younger than they profess to be. The DOL generally will not penalize employers for unknowing violations of FLSA minimum age restrictions if they obtain and keep on file an unexpired certificate of age for each worker who is a minor.
Most states require employers to obtain work permits for workers under the age of eighteen. These permits are often obtained from school districts. State law will govern whether these permits are obtained from the state where the child resides or from the state where the camp is located.
Investigations or Audits
The DOL may investigate and gather data regarding the employment of young workers in any industry subject to the FLSA. Most frequently, such investigations follow a complaint to the Department, although some of the audits at camps appear to be random.
If a violation is found, there are potentially very severe consequences. An employer may receive a civil penalty of up to $10,000 for each employee who was the subject of a violation. The total penalty will depend on the size of the business and the seriousness of the charge.
All states have enacted some form of child labor provisions. These provisions vary greatly. States often enact stricter requirements than those imposed by the FLSA and its corresponding regulations. When state standards are higher than federal standards, state laws apply. Many states require employers to post special notices in places where youth are employed and to keep on file work permits or employment certificates authorizing employment.
Many states also limit the hours of work for all minors, not just for fourteen and fifteen years olds.
The child labor laws and regulations contain many pitfalls for the unwary and uninformed camp. A thorough inquiry into state and federal child labor law provisions pertaining to particular employment practices is necessary to ensure full compliance with applicable law. The local offices of the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor will answer inquiries about the FLSA and can provide relevant publications free of charge.

Excellent article. Camps
Submitted by Morris Jennings (not verified) on Tue, 2012-05-29 18:50.
Excellent article. Camps often assume that the federal child labor standards do not apply because of the MW and OT exemption. That can be an expensive assumption, especially with increased enforcement in recent years, and maximum penalties that are now much higher than when this article was originally published.
I disagree with one statement in the article: "The DOL generally will not penalize employers for unknowing violations of FLSA minimum age restrictions if they obtain and keep on file an unexpired certificate of age for each worker who is a minor." The described circumstances will cause a reduction in the assessment (as compared to a "knowing" or "willful" violation and/or lack of an accurate date of birth on file), but violations of FLSA child labor standards are likely to result in thousands of dollars of civil money penalty assessment even when records are accurate and the employer "pleads ignorance" as an excuse.
The article properly points out that minors may be individually covered by the FLSA even if enterprise coverage does not exist. An additional consideration in that regard is the use of email and/or the Internet in connection with employment. There is also a coverage provision (for child labor purposes) pertaining to employment "in or about" an establishment that "produces goods for interstate commerce." The Wage and Hour Division investigators are trained to develop coverage whenever possible. Most camps should assume that the federal child labor standards apply and take steps to comply.
A summary of the FLSA (federal) child labor rules may be found in this publication: http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/childlabor102.pdf

MASSENA - When Charles Schultz created Linus, the lovable Peanuts character who is never seen without his blanket in tow, he had no idea that his character would one day become the symbol of a national organization that helps provide a sense of security for children and teens in need.
Locally that organization, Project Linus, is headquartered at St. Lawrence Centre where Chapter Coordinator Virginia M. Galligan collects donations of materials, blankets and money each week that are used to help keep the organization going.
Usually its run out of your home, but I asked national if I could use another location because I feel its better suited for St. Lawrence County, Ms. Galligan said, adding they had no problems with her opening up an office outside her home.
The mall has been great, she said. We did a blanket day here, so we already had a relationship with the mall. Weve had different meetings and stuff here and theyve always been supportive of what we do.
Project Linus is located in the Sears end of the mall next to the former SUNY Canton space and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Sunday for people who would like to make a donation, volunteer their time or learn more about the organization.
While Sundays are the only set hours Ms. Galligan, who volunteers her time for Project Linus said other arrangements can also be made.
If people contact me by phone, email or on Facebook and I can get here, Ill try, she said, adding that if taking the Facebook route make sure you search for St. Lawrence Project Linus, as the national headquarters also has a page.
While the focus of Project Linus is collecting and making blankets to give to children in need, Ms. Galligan said she is also hoping to host other events to help promote Project Linus.
Were hoping to have a couponing class at some point, she said. We would like to get more people involved and have some other events. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
In addition to accepting monetary donations, yarn and fabric, Ms. Galligan said Project Linus accepts donations of already-made blankets, as long as theyre homemade and come from a smoke-free environment.
Last year in Ms. Galligans first year Project Linus collected 166 blankets, and this year she has her eyes set on an even bigger number.
This year Im hoping to collect more than that. It would be nice to get an even 200, but Ill take anything more than 166, she said.
To help build up their blanket collection, each year Project Linus hosts an event it calls, Lets Cover St. Lawrence Countys Children. This year that event will be on Aug. 4 in the former SUNY Canton space next to their office.
In addition to holding a blanket and materials drive, volunteers will be on site making blankets to donate to the cause.
Well also be teaching people how to make quilts and Ill be teaching people how to loom knit, Ms. Galligan said, asking individuals to let her know if they know of a child or teen who could use a blanket.
If theyre in any kind of need and could use some comfort, get a hold of me and well get them a blanket, she said. Whether its for a hospital visit, a fire or other family emergency.
Ms. Galligan said she has a friend who is a foster parent and each time a new foster child arrives in their home, theyre greeted by a blanket from Project Linus, whose motto is Providing Security Through Blankets.
I do this because I love it and I have my own little Linus at home, she said. Its the perfect thing for me to do.
Ms. Galligan may be reached at 608-7974 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Monetary donation maybe sent to Project Linus, P.O. Box 82, Massena, N.Y. 13662.

What travelers to Cairns are saying
Cool Cairns
If you're not a fan of the outdoors, you're in the wrong city. Cairns is a tropical gem that is the perfect base for visitors wanting to dive the Great Barrier Reef and submerge themselves in the Daintree Rainforest. In fact, Cairns has so many adrenaline-packed activities that it makes braving the sometimes torrential rain and sweltering tropical heat well worth it.
Cairns' City Centre is picturesque enough with its pier jutting into the Marlin Marina, while the Northern Beaches more than make up for central Cairns' lack of pristine stretches of sand. And though Cairns' tropical climate and adventure-packed activities make it a backpacker paradise (spot how many different accents you notice in a one-hour period), there are also several hubs on indigenous culture that cannot be missed, such as the Indigenous Art Gallery and the Original Dreamtime Gallery.
Cairns is quirky, coastal, vibrant and laidback. The Esplanade has predictably become a little touristy in the past few decades, but if you hunt around you'll still find some bastions of charming North Queensland tradition, such as the Woolshed nightclub, where backpackers and locals alike dance on wooden tables until the wee hours, or Shenanigan's Pub, where you can enjoy a two-for-one happy hour in the gecko-filled and frangipani-scented courtyard, and even put your money on a toad race. Yep, you heard us the first time.
Cairn's Top 10
10. Crystal Cascades North Queenslanders like to cool of in air-conditioned shopping malls, but doing it at a spectacular natural waterfall is probably far more interesting.
5. Hartley's Crocodile Adventures Walk the Gondola Gateway and take a not-so-relaxing boat cruise on Hartley's Lagoon – just don't get too close to the edge.
9. White Water Rafting A tropical region that gets plenty of rain means more than just picturesque jungles – it also means rafting down some class five rapids.
4. The Rainforest Experience You've probably heard of interactive exhibits, but interactive eating is a whole new story. Choose from Breakfast with the Birds or Lunch with the Lorikeets.
8. Sky Diving If you've never jumped out of a plane before, do it while taking in views of the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.
3. Kuranda A heritage wooden train takes you up into the hills to arrive at the dazzling jungle hideaway of Kuranda, a market town filled with hippies and artists who may just entice you not to get back on the train at all…
7. Kuranda Scenic Railway Spending nearly two hours on a train could be tedious, but not when you're travelling Gold Class with champagne and canapés.
2. Daintree Rainforest Walk the hiking trails of the continent's largest tropical rainforest. Not all of them, obviously – the Daintree is around 1200 square kilometres!
6. Cairns Tropical Zoo Sure, zoos are everywhere in Oz, but is cuddling a koala something you can ever really get sick of?
1. Great Barrier Reef If you don't know how to handle a scuba tank, learn. The marine life here will leave you breathless enough.

Cairns Local
Picturesque Cairns has a nice enough city centre, but you're missing out if you don't visit the sandy Northern Beaches or the colossal White Rock Peak. Not that we're knocking the city's fake lagoon – what should in theory be ridiculous is actually rather stunning when you see it set against the vibrant turquoise sea (and you realise that it's a far safer place to cooling off, free from box jellyfish and Irukanji!)
City Centre
Cairns' CBD is small, but it gives even the picturesque Harbour City a run for its money in terms of aesthetics (though Sydneysiders would probably dispute this). The centre focuses on Cairns Esplanade, which features a free Saltwater Lagoon Pool, complete with life guards, which is a magnet for locals and visitors alike.
The Reef Fleet Terminal juts into the Marlin Marina and boasts both Pier Shopping and the ritzy Shangri-La Hotel Cairns, where you can sip a waterfront cocktail at the Tides BDL bar, even if you've chosen more economical accommodation.
South of Cairns
Locals think of scenic southern Cairns as the three shopping centres south of the city on Mulgrave Road, but the real draw isn't a group of concrete buildings. Mount Sheridan and White Rock Peak can be seen looming on the horizon from almost anywhere in the city. They're even more epic up close, so if your thighs aren't killing you from all the scenic walks Cairns has to offer, they will be after climbing White Rock. Fortunately, the views make the gain worth the pain!
If it's not the middle of Cairns' stifling summer you can walk to the popular northern suburb of Edge Hill from the city centre. Once there, the main attractions are the Flecker Botanical Gardens and Centenary Lakes, and the Tanks Art Centre – oddly but innovatively located in three converted WWII naval oil storage tanks.
Provided you're not hot, tired and smelling like oil, there's also a small shopping hub nearby with delis, bakeries and a few fashion boutiques.
The manmade lagoon fronting Cairns' city centre is some attempt to make up for the city's lack of actual sand, but for the real deal the string of leafy northern beaches are not far away. Holloway's Beach is popular with locals trying to make the most of its netted swimming enclosure, and also boasts Cairns' only absolute beachfront restaurant and bar – Coolums On the Beach.
Yorkeys Knob, named after the knob of land at its tip, is another popular beach. The main draw of 'Yorkeys' is its multi-million-dollar clubhouse Yorkeys Knob Boating Club, noted for its magnificent alfresco dining.
The shopping hub of Smithfield breaks up the pretty beaches with the monstrous Smithfield Shopping Centre, a lifestyle shopping experience and a popular way to escape Cairns' tropical 'blessings' of summer rain and scorching heat. Across the highway, commercial developments and fast-food outlets abound, but just south of Smithfield is home to two of North Queensland's biggest tourist attractions: Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park and Skyrail.
Cairns Eat & Drink
Cairns might have a small population, but its dining culture doesn't suffer for it. Be warned, though, some of the waterfront eateries trade off their location rather than the quality of their food.
Blue Sky Brewery Bar & Restaurant The Crystal Cascades are beautiful, but they're also tasty – Blue Sky turns North Queensland's purest water into six premium handcrafted beers.
Kani's Restaurant Cairns' best steaks and most succulent seafood are served at Kani's. Just don't tell too many people about its veranda dining area – locals fume when it's booked out.
Casa De Meze A Spanish/Latin-themed restaurant serving modern Australian and Mediterranean cuisine. Balcony dining recommended; salsa dancing optional.
Ochre Restaurant Bush tucker and fine dining are strange bedfellows at this modern Aussie restaurant.
The Sebel Cairns It's rare that a hotel's restaurant is on par with its rooms, but at the Sebel, it could even be the highlight.
Oliver's Located diagonally across from the Reef Casino, this elegant and obligatory stopping point is anything but a gamble.
Fifty Nine Restaurant & Bar Alfresco dining at an upscale establishment is generally pleasant, but Fifty Nine brings it up a notch with views of the Coral Sea, tropical mountain ranges and manicured gardens.
Far Horizons Laidback fine-dining at its best. Order your barramundi with brandade mash and saffron beurre blanc, even if you're not sure what they are – they taste amazing.
Hanuman Restaurant Celebrity chef Jimmy Shu creates a dynamite fusion feast with Indian, Thai and Nonya influences. Try the signature hanging Mondo barbeque.
Pesci's Cairns' only seafood restaurant overlooking the marina is truly one for seafood lovers, but their antipasto and meat dishes don't exactly disappoint.
Cairns Events
Taipans Season (basketball) runs from September to February, and brings an atmosphere to entice even the most reluctant sports fan.
Cairns' Port Douglas Carnivale in May is an eclectic and slightly strange mix of sailing, fashion shows and golf tournaments.
If you want to get your heart pumping just a little bit, the Cairns Adventure Film Festival in May provides a dose of adrenaline that you don't have to leave your seat for.
May's Cairns Blues Festival has only been going for three years, but the lush tropical surrounds of Fogarty Park and the finest quality blues music didn't take long to catch on.
Whether you think of 'fun run' as a contradiction in terms or not, June's Cairns Esplanade Festival of Sports is bound to have something to tickle your fancy.
Agricultural shows aren't usually the most interesting events in the world, but the Cairns Show attracts over 70,000 visitors each July.
The Cairns Indigenous Art Fair in August features around 150 emerging and established artists. Over 10,000 people attend each August.
The fireworks display is generally thought to be the highlight of September's Festival Cairns, but three weeks of eating, drinking and looking at art aren't bad either.
The Cairns Amateur Racing Festival in September is not so much about racing as it is about celebrities and socialising, but it's fun nonetheless.
Illumination is Cairns' annual 'white party' in October, but with a rainforest location and interactive 3D installations, it's unlike anything else you'll have attended. Go and wear white.

The climate of Cairns is divided into two distinct seasons — wet and dry.
The wet season sets in with tropical monsoons around November, and water activities are prohibited due to those pesky box jellyfish until March.
The dry season (April to September) is the least humid and most pleasant time to visit Cairns.
What To Avoid
Cairns' Wildlife Dome is a dome in the middle of a casino where as many animals as possible are squeezed into a small space.
Gilligan's is a huge hostel complex in the centre of town boasting 500 beds. It's great if you're a backpacker, but the nightclub there is notorious for drunk youths and bouncers who make you say the alphabet backwards to get in.
Don't walk home late at night – or at least have someone with you who's sober enough to respond in an emergency.

Getting Around
Cairns is a relatively flat city and hiring a bicycle is one of the easiest ways to get around.
Taxis are convenient for short jaunts (or late nights home), but are expensive – and they don't pick you up from the middle of the street.
Hiring a car is the best way to get around if you want to get beyond the mud flats of the Esplanade and up to the Northern Beaches.
General Information
Cairns derives delight in its location in tropical North Queensland. Its festive atmosphere welcomes everyone with a smile as warm as the year-round sunshine. Thus everything in Cairns lives and breathes the great outdoors. It is largely popular as the suitable base for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, two Heritage sites teeming with a vast variety of flora and fauna.
The Great Barrier Reef is the ultimate dive for anyone who knows how to handle a scuba tank! The marine life to be sampled would leave anyone breathless, so to speak. On drier land, the Rainforest is steeped in interesting fossils found only in this great continent.
Cairns still has more to offer apart from these two great attractions. Green and Fitzroy Islands can be easily reached by high-speed boats in order to enjoy its idyllic beaches. The endless list of adrenaline-pumped activities such as bungy-jumping, surfing and sky-diving would again leave the Cairns holidaymaker gasping for more of this high-octane of a leisure destination.
The main draw for Cairns is the Great Barrier Reef with an outstanding marine wildlife to be seen. This World Heritage site presents boundless opportunities for exploring the rich flora and fauna inhabiting its depths. The size alone, twice that of Tasmania, would describe the vastness of the Great Barrier Reef where you can enjoy deep-sea diving, snorkelling or just basking in the warm sand admiring the views. If not coming from Cairns, it is best to choose from Port Douglas or Mission Beach as jump-off points to trips to the Reef. It only takes two hours to reach the outer corals from these locations.
Seemingly matching the sheer size of the Great Barrier Reef, just next to it is another Heritage-listed site, the Daintree Rainforest. Around 1200 kilometers, it is the largest tropical rainforest in the continent and home to a diverse range of plants and animals mostly facing extinction. You can see all these when you walk along the hiking trails or splash around the serene remote beaches.
The exciting Cairns to Kuranda Rainforest tour via the Skyrail is another highlight of North Queensland. Sweep through sights such as Cairns City, the lush tropical region and further up, feast your eyes on amazing gorges and waterfalls! Being the longest cableway in the world, this is one experience you shouldn't miss. And then as you reach the end of the cable ride, prepare for another journey through the Kuranda railway that takes you deep into the rainforest for more spectacular natural attractions.
Cairns also has wildlife parks that are a hit among families. The Rainforest Habitat in Port Douglas is a haven of for bird-watching and koala encounters. Learn more about crocs and other creatures in Hartley's Creek Crocodile Adventures along Captain Cook Highway, about half an hour away from Cairns. Kuranda has a butterfly sanctuary for those who adore these delicate winged creatures and Birdworld on the other hand, offers an open aviary where inhabitants can fly freely. The Cairns Tropical Zoo is also popular among kids who love petting the animals found within.
To make the most out of your Cairns holiday, try any of the adventure-packed activities in the region such as bungy jumping, sea kayaking, helifishing, white-water rafting, parasailing, mountain-biking, 4 wheel-drive touring and a whole lot more!
Special happenings in Cairns celebrate the great outdoors in general. Port Douglas gets into high gear with its Carnival held in May. This week-long event is mainly about sailing but there are other highlights such as fashion shows, golf tournaments and cultural shows.
A much bigger event is Festival Cairns which runs for three weeks in September, a showcase of wining, dining, arts and sports. It all leads to the fireworks display, definitely a family affair. To add a stellar ambience, the prestigious Cairns Amateur Racing Carnival draws top brass personalities from politics, entertainment and business. Cannon Park becomes bedazzled by thoroughbred horses and ladies turn up in their elegant finery.
Art connoisseurs should not miss the chance to see local artists and their works on display during the exhibition of the Cairns Art Society in November. Then it's time to celebrate country music when Walkamin Country Music Festival offers musical treats at Kerribee Park, Mareeba.
Wet Season (November to May) 20-31°C; heavy downpour but still warm in general
Dry Season (June to October) 17-29°C; sunny and hot with occasional cold spells
Compelling Cairns
You know all those deadly critters Australia is famous for? Man-eating crocodiles… snakes… spiders… box jellyfish… They can all be found in and around Cairns. Heck, scientists have recently unearthed the remains of the world's largest marsupial, the Diprotodon, which was roughly the size of a small car and used to wander these parts. So it's a good job good job Cairns has so many extraordinary natural wonders on its doorstep to take your mind off those slithery, bitey things!
Located on the east coast of Cape York Peninsula, Cairns is snuggled between the Coral Sea and the Great Dividing Range. That means you're within striking distance of the Great Barrier Reef on one side and the magical Daintree Rainforest on the other. Add to that gorgeous beaches, non-stop nightlife, adrenaline-pumping activities and great weather and it's no wonder Cairns makes the rest of Oz jealous.
Cairn's Top 10
10. Atherton Tableland Sparkling waterfalls and dense rainforest are a mere 30-minute drive away and well worth the trip.
5. Aboriginal Cultural Tours Developed and operated by the Indigenous people of the region, these are a fantastic introduction to one of the oldest cultures on the planet.
9. Hot Air Ballooning An hour of floating over fabulous views from coast to mountains. Don't go home without your certificate!
4. Green Island Can be done as a day trip, but has a luxury resort if you want to stay. Enjoy the beaches, restaurants, underwater observatory and glass bottom-boat.
8. Cairns Wildlife Safari Reserve As if Cairns didn't have enough homegrown deadlies, they've imported some more, including lions, tigers and, yes, bears!
3. Kuranda Scenic Railway 120 years young and still an amazing ride. It runs from Cairns to Kuranda through the Barron Gorge National Park.
7. Crystal Cascades When the heat and humidity gets too much, cool off at this amazing natural waterfall.
2. Daintree National Park The largest rainforest in Australia. Hundreds of birds, mammals, plants and reptiles call it home.
6. Cairns Esplanade Lagoon Make a splash in a huge saltwater swimming pool on the foreshore, complete with sandy edges and lifeguards. It's the beach minus the stingers.
1. Great Barrier Reef Marine Park The only living thing visible from space, one of the world's natural wonders… Truly extraordinary.
When To Go
• November to March is the wet season with tropical monsoon weather. It's also when those nasty box jellyfish are active.
• June to October is relatively dry and the best time to visit.
• April and May are still wet, but the humidity is far more manageable.
Getting Around
• Cairns is well-served by buses, but you can also hire bicycles if you don't mind sweating profusely while getting around.
• Taxis roam the streets and are a welcome sight if you've had one too many at night.
• To explore further-flung regions, you can always hire a car.

Weights not included
Legend Louis Simmons Reverse Hyper Ultra -Only here can you get the patented Louie Simmons Reverse Hyperextension. Legend was awarded the exclusive contract to build this unique item, so any other "Reverse Hyper" you see on the marketplace is either an unauthorized copy, or a glute/ham developer that asks you to face the wrong way.
The genuine plate-loaded masterpiece, this is a must for every serious sports training facility. This piece will develop your low back, hips and glute area unlike any other. Start with low weights and build into 500 lb reps just like Louie!
Here's a note from Louie himself:
"There is only one Reverse Hyper™ and it has 3 U.S. Patents. Westside Barbell™ Reverse Hyper line allows the user to determine the path of the exercise. Westside Barbell Reverse Hypers™ offer one of two functional action systems. One is a strap; the other is a revolving roller system. Both Westside inventions allow the user to define his/her own path.
Inferior copies of the Reverse Hypers™ have gained access to the market. These copied units contain a fixed roller or pad, which restricts the user, and forces a pre-determined path set forth by the machine structure, whether it is biomechanically correct or not.
We are talking about a very sensitive area of the body here. We cannot expect a locked-up mechanism to allow proper movement from one user to another; from a 6'8″ person to a 5'2" person. Westside Reverse Hypers™ not only take this problem area into consideration, they completely adapt to each individual's needs and requirements, regardless of body size and type.
All other models are trademark or patent infringers, a very serious crime."
Notice: Some Legend Fitness pieces will arrive fully welded and in one piece. It is the customer's responsibility to make sure the delivered dimensions of each piece will allow it to be moved to the preferred location in your home or business.

Come Out & Play Festival transforms New York streets into playground Sept 22-24
Mobile technologies like cellphones, PDAs and wi-fi are transforming how we play games. Games are no longer tied to the computer, leaving us free to roam and play with others in public. This has led to an explosion of interest in Big Games, multiplayer games for the real world. This September New York will become the capital of this movement as the Come Out & Play Festival turns New York City streets into a playground.
Come Out & Play is the first festival dedicated to big games, featuring roughly 25 official game across New York from September 22-24, 2006.
The festival will run from September 22-24, 2006. The festival includes work from featured artists area/code; Jane McGonigal and Ian Bogost; and Ville Tuulos and Jürgen Scheible from Nokia. Also check out games by SF Zero, the Go Game and many more. Stop by the opening night on Friday and check out everything from cellphone-enabled strategy games on the street, gigantic projected games, races across the city, games of benevolent assassination to scavenger hunts and more. Games will occur throughout the day in locations around the city. See the schedule of games for more details about events.
While games will run in locations around the city, the festival headquarters will be hosted by the Eyebeam Art & Technology Center, located at Eyebeam at 540 W. 21st Street, New York, NY. Stop by the headquarters during the festival for information and to see game updates.
All events and games are free. Some events require pre-registration.

State of play: Refrigerants used in mobile air condition systems (MAC) Közzététel időpontja:: 23/01/2014, Utolsó frissítés: 24/06/2015
Since 1 January 2011, air conditioning systems of new types of vehicles must be filled with a refrigerant with a low impact on the climate (in line with the EU's "MAC" Directive 2006/40/EC on mobile air conditioning).
Fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential (GWP) higher than 150 CO2 GWP can no longer be used in mobile air climate (MAC) systems.
Car manufacturers are free to choose a refrigerant/system as long as it fulfils the obligation of the directive. In 2009, the car manufacturers chose the new refrigerant HFO 1234yf to fulfil this requirement due to its low GWP.
The currently used Refrigerant R134a, with a GWP of 1300, is de facto banned in newly type-approved vehicles (new models). From 1 January 2017, this ban will be extended to all new vehicles.
Refrigerant HFO 1234yf was chosen by industry to be used on MAC to fulfil the obligations of this directive. However, in light of the exceptional circumstances concerning problems encountered by industry in supplying this gas and exclusively with respect to this aspect, the Commission accepted to refrain from launching infringement procedures in cases where vehicle production would continue to be done with the gas R134a until 31 December 2012.

Name that staffing firm
The first quarter saw an unusually high number of staffing firms adopt new names.
SFN Group is the new moniker for Spherion Corp., the seventh-largest staffing firm in the U.S. However, the company's divisions will retain their names including Technisource, Tatum, Mergis, Todays Office Professionals, SourceRight Solutions and Spherion Staffing Services.
Advantage Resourcing is the new name for Radia International -- part of a privately held Japan-based firm that ranked No. 7 on Staffing Industry Analysts' 2009 list of largest global staffing firms.
The Advantage brand replaced the company's existing brands, which include Technical Aid Corp., Talent Tree Inc. and others. For the Staffing Industry Daily News item, click here.
In addition, publicly held Accountabilities Inc. announced on Feb. 24 it was becoming Corporate Resource Services Inc. Based in New York, Corporate Resource Services provides industrial as well as office/clerical staffing.
Most recently, Professional Staffing Solutions International, a Tewksbury MA firm that provides finance/accounting and information technology staffing, changed its name to Strategic Talent.
The number of companies changing names appears unusual, especially give that changing a company name can be an involved and costly process.
When adopting a new name, firms may have to check with a naming company to be sure the new name doesn't mean anything bad in a foreign language, and lawyers may be called in to verify the name isn't connected to something else. And then there's the question of Web site, changing sales collateral and getting the word out to customers.
One benefit is that companies do a lot of marketing with a name change and get publicity they wouldn't normally receive.
Riley Weiss, the Portland OR-based branding agency that worked with Advantage Resourcing, said in a press release that focus groups were held to determine clients' perceptions of Radia's existing brands. Riley Weiss then identified the qualities of the "ideal" staffing brand. And the roll out of the new brand included external communications as well as a campaign aimed at internal employees.
A name change is something a company takes very seriously. However, picking a name isn't easy.
Enron, the former energy company, had planned to name itself Enteron at one point, until it discovered the word "enteron" refers to intestines, according to a Forbes.com article. That prompted the firm to drop the "te" from the center.

I know this will be discussed to no end today but I just can't stop thinking about how impressive that play was in the 9th inning. So smart and heads up and for it to come from Machado who not only just turned 20 but is playing a position he never played in the minors is beyond impressive. It never occurred to me that the runner would be that far around 3rd and Machado's awareness of that situation with Hardy coming over to cover third was all really impressive. O's are certainly doing all of the little things right and it all showed last night with smart and aggressive base running and some excellent defense by Reynolds, which has stunningly become a nightly occurrence.
My one question here is how come Reynolds can make that throw to Hardy at second around a base runner even but he couldn't make any throws from 3rd to 1st? Just curious.
oh and for those of you keeping score at home...the O's are now ONLY the 4th worst fielding team in all of baseball and now only have one more error than the historically slick fielding Rays. It sure seemed at one point this year that they would set a team record for the most errors ever. What a turn around.

Reduce Salt and Increase Fresh HerbsFriday, September 6th, 2013
Many of us try to incorporate more vegetables and less processed foods into our diets, but it isn't always easy. Whether you are running errands throughout the day, working or trying to make food for the entire family, it can be hard to make everything from scratch. On August 29, we hope you took a step toward a healthier life and celebrated More Herbs, Less Salt Day – if not, there's always next year! Herbs not only add flavor and zest to otherwise bland dishes, they contain antioxidants and vitamins for a healthy body and mouth. Ever feel like your breath is less than fresh? Try to incorporate these bad breath-fighting herbs into your meals:
Known as an ancient herb with healing powers, sage is effective against halitosis because it helps to get rid of the bad breath-causing bacteria that accumulate in the mouth. Luckily, sage is super yummy as well, so you can add it to pastas, lean meats, salads or soups. Other spices with similar taste and power as sage include rosemary and thyme.
Fresh basil leaves have an incredibly pungent, delicious smell, so you can imagine the effect that a few of these leaves will have on your halitosis. Basil, like other leafy greens like parsley, contains chlorophyll that is a natural deodorizer for your bad breath. Have you ever wondered why some restaurants will garnish your plate with a parsley sprig? No, it's not just for looks. This is to freshen your breath after a meal. Basil and parsley are also great spices for virtually any meal. Try a fresh caprese salad with your meal and chicken seasoned with parsley.
This one should be pretty obvious. Peppermint is a common choice for getting rid of bad breath because it leaves you with a minty fresh taste in your mouth without added sugar that you would find in peppermint gums and candies. How do you add peppermint into your daily diet? Sip on peppermint-infused tea, or even add a few drops of peppermint extract to your tea. If you're in a pinch and need to freshen your breath quickly, you can simply chew on a few peppermint sprigs and you'll knock that smelly breath out of the water.

By DON MERRILLSalt Lake City
The federal reserve was planning to cross a wide stream. It had crossed many such streams and was skilled in crossing them well.
But just as it stepped into the water, investment banks asked to ride along. They didn't have the assets to cross the stream but knew the Fed did.
The Fed looked at the investment banks and said, "I can't let you ride on my back. You want me to take your bad debt in exchange for my instruments which have the full faith and credit of the United States," it said. "You'll sting me."
The investment banks said, "If we're not able to get to the other side, everybody who is waiting for us will panic and that will be terrible."
"Besides," they said, "If we sting you, we'll all drown."
The Fed thought, and said, "OK, I guess that makes sense. I'll help you get to the other side, but you can't behave as you have before, OK?"
"OK" replied the investment banks.
Halfway across the stream, the investment banks stung the Fed. The Fed looked back wide-eyed and asked, "With all that was at stake, why did you sting me? Now, we're both going to drown."
As the water rose around them all, the investment banks replied, "We're sorry. We just do what we do."
Apologies to Aesop.

HAMMOND Katelyn V. Perretta, 22, of 5 Shady Lawn Road, was charged Friday by St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies with falsely reporting an incident.
Ms. Perretta was bitten by her bosss dog on May 3, according to police. When she went to get the bite treated, she was questioned about the dog that bit her. Not wanting to get her boss in trouble, she allegedly described an imaginary dog.
We wound up looking for a phantom dog down in Morristown that doesnt exist, investigating Deputy Kurt Kilburn said.
Ms. Perretta was released on an appearance ticket. She is scheduled to appear in Hammond Town Court.

1. Pitching overall. While I look past the stats, it is really the health and command from the starting five. The Bullpen has shown some stuff that could lessen some fans worries. It is a nice bonus that we can openly say Britton deserves strong consideration opening the season with the Orioles, but it will be realisitcally May 19th or later. Guys who were hurt are throwing and with some pop. Berken is at least showing that he is 100% and might start the season in Norfolk until he is back to form.
2. Ryan Adams - I said while he was in the AFL. He should be considered for at least the bench role with the Orioles. I am not saying his numbers suggest he is going to be the 2nd Baseman of the future, but he is better than people want to give him credit over the years. Seeing Brian Roberts was shut down, he should be going North as well.
3. Nolan Riemold - If spring can translate into Summer, who does not want to see him in left or DH every single day in the Orioles lineup.
4. Jake Fox - It is tough to swallow for him as the backup, but his bat should get him around with Derrick Lee most likely out the first month of the season.

Forget LFS, try to get FreeBSD working
And I feel so out of control with FreeBSD on my box, I mean, it installs things right and left.
LFS is heaven, I install what I need when I need it !
I will however grant that FreeBSD' man page system is very slick, amongst other things - and the system appears to be very fast and responsive.

Read: How A Lower Salary Cap Would Impact The Rangers
Brooks adds "Allow me to amend "devastating" to "significant issue." Thanks."
Currently, according to Cap Geek, the Rangers are at $58.5 million with Michael Del Zotto still unsigned.
Adam Rotter: About half the teams in the league are over that number and in the case of some teams, an amnesty move wouldn't even get them under the cap. The Rangers are very top heavy at forward with three players over $6.6 million in cap hits and then only Ryan Callahan, at $4.25, doesn't have a cap hit at $1.7 or below. This would provide a crunch now but cause major problems in the offseason when Derek Stepan, Carl Hagelin and Ryan McDonagh are all due raises.
While I don't think that $58 million is where the cap will land in the final agreement, it is going to be somewhere around there and probably not close to the $70 million it is at right now.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
We have our first recycling box in Price. It is for paper and aluminum to start. The bin is located in the Sutherland's parking lot.
This has come about due to the efforts of a small and dedicated group of people who have seen the need and refused to give up no matter what obstacles they have encountered along the way.
I am embarrassed that I am not one of those people. I talk the talk, but in this effort I did not walk the walk. I have been "busy" some of the time they are meeting and keep thinking I will make the effort, but I have not. Shame on me.
I do get E-mails about the meetings and the progress of the group's efforts on a regular basis. I thank Jeanne McEvoy for keeping us informed even when we haven't even made one meeting. She is the Price City Councilwoman who is very visible in this effort, but I can pretty much guess she would be the last to take credit for the work the group has done.
Even if you are not a tree-hugging, environmentalist, you should be excited about the fact we have a recycling place now. It will save the city and county a lot of money if people embrace it.
How will it save?
Well the less we throw away, the less ends up in the ECDC site. It has cost more each year to dump what we produce in garbage in our city every year.
A few years back ECDC lost a couple of lucrative contracts from other areas and could no longer provide services for us at the same low cost they had. It is the nature of business and economic realities.
For years, friends and family have come to visit from other states and areas and have been shocked when they look for our recycling bin before they throw away a can. We don't drink much pop at our house so we haven't tried to save them. I have heard a few times that there were places to take them, but for the little we generate, it was not something we made a priority of.
As a kid I recycled a lot. Pop bottles were valuable. They were worth 10 cents each and it didn't take long to find enough to make it worth your while.
My brother and I would scour the ditches and road ways to make enough money to supplement our allowances. I collected aluminum cans in the early 80s to buy a tricycle for my daughter's birthday when I was broke. Then aluminum price tanked and it was hard to find a place that accepted cans anymore.
We even had a paper recycling bin here at one time. It became a real mess when it didn't get emptied enough. People often just left paper outside of it and the wind created havoc.
It seemed like we were just not in an area where any one saw the economic feasibility of recycling.
But then we got a group of people that knew no matter what we needed to get back onto the recycling track and formed a group to find the way to get it done. This small core of individuals has grown and the roadblocks addressed.
I hope our residents here embrace this new opportunity and demand more. Thanks, Green Team. Keep up the good work.
