Lyrics from: http://www.metrolyrics.com/put-your-hands-up-lyrics-matchbox-twenty.html
Bm D
You're wide awake, your heart beats
Sister Mary in her burning dress with god at her feet
Bm D
They take and take, but no more
A G Em
Cause now you're gonna show em what the night is really for
And leave your heart out on the dance floor
Bm D
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
Bm D
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
Bm D
Your life is full, of hard days
You try to hold it down but it's more than you can take
Bm D
Those flashing lights, they shine down
A Em
It's hard as hell to try to keep your head in this town
So we're gonna burn the place down
Bm D
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
Bm D
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
Repeat Bm D A G throughout the last part and last chorus

Yeah, I know, Firefox 3.0 is not yet released by Mozilla (but it soon will be, and you can help them achieving a worldrecord), but I used the betas and release candidates for a long time and like to share my experience.
Just some more words before I start: Firefox 3.0 is fucking great, so
And now to my small addon collection:
1. oldbar
Sorry, but I find the new Awesomebar just fucking ugly and way too big for my 12" screen.
oldbar makes the URL bar look like in Firefox 2.0 again (but it won't change the searching algorithm, though :/)
2. Adblock Plus
No, you can't live without a proper adblocker in todays internet and Adblock Plus is the best one.
3. Delicious Bookmarks
I do not like all those social 2.0 sites out there, but del.icio.us is great, and this addon will bring you all the nice stuff directly into your browser.
4. Faviconize Tab
Have a way too small screen? Or just too much tabs? Use this one to make them as small as their favicon :)
5. Flagfox
It's allways nice to know where the server is located you're connected with – now you see a small flag of that country.
6. FxIF
Looking at many photos? Wanna know which camera was used? Look in the EXIF information with FxIF without switching away from your beloved browser.
7. Google Pagerank Status
You're a SEO, aren't you? ;)
8. Googlepedia
See Wikipedia results directly in your Google search.
9. It's all text!
Annoyed by typing texts into regular webforms? Use your favorite text editor for that!
10. keyconfig
Your keyboard is made for more then just text.
11. Live HTTP Headers
Ah I see, you're a hacker, not a SEO. Now you can see all the stuff going between your browser and the server – live!
12. NoScript
The internet is for porn.. eh.. malware, exploits and such. Kill them all with NoScript!
13. Resurrect Pages
Webserver /.'ed? File not found? But the internet does not forget, search the caches NOW.
14. Tamper Data
As I said, you're a hacker – manipulate all the forms before sending them to the server.
15. URL Fixer
youporn.con? Yes, it works!
16. User Agent Switcher
Silly website wants a sucky IE? Or Windows, but you are running Linux? Just tell them you're brave (aren't you?).
17. Web Developer
CSS sometimes sucks, fix it now. And yeah, it can save even more time than just fixing CSS.
Uhm, that's all. Don't have any more plugins installed – if you do leave me a comment :)
And yeah, most of these addons are not 3.0 specific, but who cares? They still rock!

|Increased training loads do not magnify cancellous bone gains with rodent jump resistance exercise.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20930128 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|This study sought to elucidate the effects of a low- and high-load jump resistance exercise (RE) training protocol on cancellous bone of the proximal tibia metaphysis (PTM) and femoral neck (FN). Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 6 mo old) were randomly assigned to high-load RE (HRE; n = 16), low-load RE (LRE; n = 15), or sedentary cage control (CC; n = 11) groups. Animals in the HRE and LRE groups performed 15 sessions of jump RE during 5 wk of training. PTM cancellous volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), assessed by in vivo peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans, significantly increased in both exercise groups (+9%; P < 0.001), resulting in part from 130% (HRE; P = 0.003) and 213% (LRE; P < 0.0001) greater bone formation (measured by standard histomorphometry) vs. CC. Additionally, mineralizing surface (%MS/BS) and mineral apposition rate were higher (50-90%) in HRE and LRE animals compared with controls. PTM bone microarchitecture was enhanced with LRE, resulting in greater trabecular thickness (P = 0.03) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV; P = 0.04) vs. CC. Resorption surface was reduced by nearly 50% in both exercise paradigms. Increased PTM bone mass in the LRE group translated into a 161% greater elastic modulus (P = 0.04) vs. CC. LRE and HRE increased FN vBMD (10%; P < 0.0001) and bone mineral content (∼ 20%; P < 0.0001) and resulted in significantly greater FN strength vs. CC. For the vast majority of variables, there was no difference in the cancellous bone response between the two exercise groups, although LRE resulted in significantly greater body mass accrual and bone formation response. These results suggest that jumping at minimal resistance provides a similar anabolic stimulus to cancellous bone as jumping at loads exceeding body mass.

Protect Our Parks is trying to be a positive force and not just a "nay sayer" - if there is a real need for more fields, we think Montrose is a logical place to expand - because of its ease of access for ALL. Come to our community meeting 6/26 at 7pm - details at http://www.savelincolnpark.org.
Hey Everyone,
Quite obviously, the compromise is to build a field at North Ave. AND at Montrose. Who is the Leader here?
POP may say they are not just "nay sayers", but the reality is that the Parks Dept can not afford to build these fields without help from the private sector, Latin being one of those private sector organizations. And POP knows this. So suggesting they would be okay with allowing another turf field at Montrose is easy when you know the funding to do so is not there.
What I'd like to know is what they are doing other than fighting those who are trying to make positive changes for the children of Chicago? And not just the children who go to a private school like Latin. Other schools, public schools like Walter Payton HS Prep who have no soccer field, would have also benefited from this field they so happily stopped from being completed.
Perhaps Mr. Tresser needs to live by some of his own words, "But, like a natural resource, creativity can be polluted, squandered and blocked." Latin and the Parks Dept came up with a creative solution to give more kids in this city an opportunity to play soccer on fields that don't ENDANGER THEIR WELL_BEING...something that is sorely lacking throughout Chicago. But unfortunately Tom and POP are polluting, squandering and blocking this and other opportunities like it.
Lincoln Park is a regional park serving all of Chicago as well as thousands of tourists. Oh. And they're not just children. IT is second ONLY to Central Park in visitors. This is NOT the place for an artificial turf field. If the Park District says it doesn't have the money, why is it so bent on completing this field? Where is that money coming from? To the poster above's point, why not upgrade the ALREADY-EXISTING and dangerously neglected soccer field at Oz Park? Why not build soccer fields in the land becoming available near Cabrini Green? That area would serve both Payton AND Latin. It would serve a far larger and more diverse community. WHY take away PUBLIC land that serves a lot more than just soccer players when land that is either ALREADY a soccer field or could easily be turned into one and serve FAR more public, private, and parochial students is ignored? One would have to believe it is simply to serve the desires of The Latin School and the adult leagues who profit from it. The children -- the MAJORITY of Chicago's children -- are not being served. In fact, the similar deal with AYSO is stalled pending this. Why not take the money they seem to suddenly have to build this field and build the AYSO fields that would serve thousands of children?? There are MANY alternatives to Lincoln Park. Leave Lincoln Park green and open to ALL Chicagoans. Use our taxes to FIX existing facilities and do not usurp any more of our green, open space. It is far too rare and far to precious. And I say this as a mom of two future soccer players who hates to drive but would gladly drive to Montrose or elsewhere to save public green, open space for the rest of my fellow citizens.
Unfortunately EURYDICE CHRONES needs to learn some facts:
-All the parks you mentioned are public parks.
-To improve or create soccer fields at any of these public parks would require private funding to help offset the cost the Parks District lacks.
-If you read my original comment you would see that I said the Parks District can not do it alone...not that they do not have any funding.
-No park or field or facility can serve all of Chicago's children. But the Latin field was only one field scheduled to be built or fixed...all now affected/stalled by the POP lawsuit.
-Among them, the AYSO field improvement is stalled because of this lawsuit. They will most likely become POP's next target deciding that the dangerous dirt patches that 3000+ children play on every fall and spring need protection more than our children.
-The patch of land in the section of Lincoln Park the Latin/Park's District were funding was rarely used for anything other than sports and festivals. I doubt you and you children spent much time there let alone the other visitors to Lincoln Park.
-Oz Park is only the park it is today because of private funding raised by the people of the neighborhood. While others are welcome to use this park I would bet that 90% or more of the regular visitors live in the neighborhood.
-This is no different than the Latin/Park District agreement. Latin raises substantial funds and gets some...SOME...exclusive use of the fields.
-I find it interesting that you suggest building soccer fields in the land becoming available near Cabrini Green because It would serve a far "larger and more diverse" community now that the "diversity" of this area has been moved out. And who would you suggest build these fields?
As a Mom of 2 future soccer players, I suggest you take a drive around and look at the fields your children might play on someday. Here's a small list right in the area you can check out:
-Btwn Lawrence & Foster, east of Lakeshore Drive. Be careful of the glass, rocks, sewer grates, etc in the middle of the fields.
-All the fields at Montrose other than the turf field. Take a run and try not to sprain an ankle in the potholes. Or enjoy a game of uphill soccer.
-The very east field near the Waveland clocktower. Again be careful of the glass and dangerous landfill elements used to create this patch of "grass". Or watch the kids practice between the baseball fields during the week. Just be careful like these kids need to be of fly balls hit by the Adult leagues who play and practice there.
-The field at the old Near North HS. Thanks to the agreement between CPS, Jones HS and the private, not-for-profit Lakefront Attack travel soccer club, these fields are better now than they used to be. Check them out and you'll see that unfortunately they pale in comparison to what a reasonable filed should be.
-Check out the public school fields that schools like Walter Payton play on. Oh wait those don't even exist.
Once you do that then think how much negative effect the Latin field would have had on on the "green' of Lincoln park versus all the negative impact POP's lawsuit has had; discouraging and/or preventing private funding from helping make improvements throughout the city's parks...for everyone.
Hey, Tresser--you know that Montrose Harbor is part of Lincoln Park, too? Why is it 'ok' to plunk something you don't want in YOUR back yard into OUR back yard when you can squeeze a soccer field into a pre-prepared spot in YOUR back yard? Have you polled the neighborhoods around Montrose Harbor to see if WE want your Latin School's playground? Are you prepared to do fundraising to re-pave the pock-holed parking lots at Montrose? Or to do traffic studies to determine how to manage the addition to the existing gridlock we have with people outside of the surrounding neighborhoods converging on Montrose Harbor? (Many summer weekends find traffic backed up onto LSD, with the entrance to Montrose Harbor closed and traffic on Montrose Avenue backed up to west of 1200W.) And how "accessible to ALL" is it when the CTA bus routes and Red Line stops are surrounded by gang turf and regular fights and shootings?
It sounds like you're not very logical nor that you're doing your homework...as a matter of fact, you're expressing classic NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) attitude. Is it because you don't want a SOCCER FIELD in YOUR end of Lincoln Park...or is it because you don't want *Hispanic soccer players* in your end of Lincoln Park? In any event, you might better rename your organization "Save [the South End of] Lincoln Park", because you're not doing anything but trying to protect one small patch in your neighborhood while you're willing to give away the parts of it that aren't within walking distance of YOUR homes.

Local bar owners react to distribution changes at Victory Brewing Co.
The beer list at Monk's offers this explanation: "We no longer carry products from the Victory Brewing conglomerate due to their business practices."
Downingtown's Victory Brewing Co. recently switched from the family-owned Edward I. Friedland Co. to Penn Distributors Inc., a much larger distributor. While switching distributors may seem inconsequential--after all, it's still the same beer--the change has angered some local brewers and beer sellers who see Friedland as a friend of the little guy and Penn as the evil empire. Keeping small breweries alive, they say, should likewise require keeping small distributors in business.
Victory announced its decision at a meeting in February. According to Edward Friedland, Victory's message was essentially, "Everything's great, but we're gonna dump you."
"I was very disappointed," he says. "I didn't sleep for weeks."
Friedland, whose grandfather started the business, spent months looking for a way to stop the brewery from forcing him to sell his distribution rights. His fight officially ended June 7.
Under Friedland's care, Victory's local wholesale sales rose by 20 to 30 percent each year. But the company thought it was missing some key local markets.
In addition, Victory co-founder William Covaleski claims Friedland intends to go the way of other small wholesalers and sell his business to a larger conglomerate.
Friedland denies he's trying to sell his business. In fact, he says, he's looking for a larger facility to replace his Hunting Park distribution center.
Still, says Covaleski, "We didn't know where we'd end up if he was gone." For the sake of Covaleski's family and 52 employees, he says, he decided to go with a "more capable" company with "longer legs."
Covaleski's explanation does little to mollify critics who think small brewers should adhere to a different code of ethics.
Peters is angriest at Victory for snubbing Friedland. "He's the reason we're all here," Peters says. "Eddie did the groundwork for all of us."
So far Peters and Carey seem to be the only local bar owners cutting Victory altogether, though others are still steamed.
"We're not going to support [Victory] as much as we were going to," says Jon Myerow, who recently opened Tria at 18th and Sansom streets. Tria will sell bottles of Victory, but won't put the beer on tap.
Members of the region's craft-brewing community worry that Victory's decision will darken the outlook for other small beer makers.
Wholesale distributors buy from breweries and sell the suds in kegs and cases to bars, restaurants and retail distributors. Small firms are often the first and only purveyors of unusual or unknown beers.
"If it wasn't for small distributors, these brands would never hit the market," Friedland says.
Small distributors depend on bars with choosy clientele who are willing to pay for good beer. Most bars try to triple their money. A keg of Bud that costs $50 turns into at least $150. A $160 keg of Chimay delivers more than $400.
In the 1980s, Friedland says, Philadelphia had more than a dozen small wholesale distributors. Now only a few are left.
In response to fears that Victory will soon encroach on other local breweries, Covaleski says he's just responding to demand. The company is spending $4.5 million to expand its brewery and plans to begin selling in several more states.
"no one can really be blamed for wanting to make more money. that said, i can also understand why the proprietors of bars known for small-batch local brews would want to cut such sellouts from their menu."

Interesting thread.
A numpty rear ended me on 1st April (no joke) just days after I fitted a £50 China special from eBay. If anyone is looking search for "X6000 car DVR" - has twin lenses, up to 32G storage, LCD screen (front + rear view, date/time etc), internal iR lights, GPS + g-sensors (software shows video footage, speed, running Google Maps overlay, g/shock forces etc). Sucker means it can be positioned fairly discreetly slightly to the left behind the rear view mirror and nice long power cable to !Removed! lighter is handy to. Easy to use and maintenance free. GPS sensor hidden neatly in the tiny passenger side window. All good.
Anyway, the evidence from the camera was great and helped no end. Insurance company loved it and kept my claim beyond dispute. It's also amazing the stuff you capture in general. There's some pure comedy gold creative driving in Bristol.
The camera is discreet. You get used to it being there and forget it but its still gives me extra peace of mind regardless of what's going on outside. If the scammers are out or I'm involved in an incident or someone is being stupid and aggressive or something is simply amiss, then know its all there on video with plenty of extra detail.
However - it has draw backs:-
1) Front and rear lenses mean I have to behave myself in the car, no iffy bloke manners now :-(
2) It has built in sound which I have to turn off in case someone is one day witness to some ripe language. Likewise cheeky conversations with my better half should stay mute, lol.
3) I also dare not show my other half footage in case she catches sight of me checking out a nice girl or two walking along on my way to work.
4) The GPS means I have to be wary of my speed and position. If I have an accident and the insurance company or police spot I'm ambling along at the speed of sound in my 1.25 it won't wash with them. That's admittedly a good thing to be fair and its slowed me down. Interestingly the other day I passed a Police van doing speed checks and it made me wonder who was watching who?!?
I'd say buy one. Some folks don't like it and think its all a bit dubious in some way or simply view them skepticism, but it's already proven its worth with me and one of my colleagues.
Here's you all go, the cam I use (X6000):-
I'm also owning one small device with descent video but not really good sound, but I think sound is not the part that the camera is used for:
and video from first day, fun begins at 1:12 https://www.youtube....h?v=Y06tSYChmdU (sorry for the loud sound)

Vodafone UK warns iPhone 4S owners about iOS 6.1
updated 03:56 pm EST, Fri February 8, 2013
Suggests 6.1.1 may solve 3G issues
Carrier Vodafone UK is warning iPhone 4S owners against upgrading to iOS 6.1, accounts say. "If you've not already downloaded iOS 6.1 for your iPhone 4s [sic], please hold off for the next version while Apple fixes 3G performance issues. Thanks," reads a text message being sent out to subscribers. Vodafone hasn't gone into any more detail on performance problems.
The next version of iOS is 6.1.1, which entered public beta this week. The focus of the update is the Japanese version of Maps, but Apple may be able to include minor tweaks for other regions. It's unknown if any other carriers are being affected by 3G bugs.

Global Glory. One Ball.Chopra Earns First PGA Tour Victory in Monday Finish. Leads 8-Win Week for Titleist Golf Ball Players Across Worldwide Professional Tours.
Golf is a global sport, and one of the things that unifies it is the overwhelming trust players place in the superior performance of Titleist golf balls. Eight more wins this week advances Titleist's victory count across the worldwide professional tours to 166, more than six times the nearest competitor with 25. Below is a tour-by-tour breakdown of each victory this week:
PGA TOUR: It took an extra day, but Titleist Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Daniel Chopra earned his first career PGA Tour victory with a one-shot win at the Ginn sur Mer Classic. Chopra gained the lead with a birdie at the par-5 16th hole Monday morning and held on to edge two players, including Titleist ambassador Fredrik Jacobsen (Pro V1x, 907D2 driver, 906F prototype fairway metal, 695CB irons, Vokey Design sand and lob wedges). Chopra finished at 19-under, becoming the 12th first-time winner on the PGA Tour this season. Play was suspended on Sunday due to darkness with three groups still on the course. Dicky Pride (Pro V1), who was the leader in the clubhouse on Sunday at 16-under, finished solo fourth.
Titleist was the overwhelming golf ball of choice at the event with 98 (74%) players relying upon the Pro V1 or Pro V1x, nearly nine times the nearest competitor with 11. Titleist was also the most played iron (33), wedge (125) and putter (51). The win was the 23rd for Titleist golf ball players on the 2007 PGA Tour, more than all other balls combined.
PGA EUROPEAN: Titleist full-line staff player Gregory Bourdy (Pro V1x, 907D2 driver, 906F2 fairway metal, 585.H utility metal, 670 irons, Vokey Design approach wedge, Spin Milled lob wedge, Scotty Cameron putter) of France shot a 3-under 67 to win the Mallorca Classic for his first career PGA European Tour title. Bourdy finished with a 12-under 268 total, two shots clear of the runner-up. Robert-Jan Derksen (Pro V1x), who started the round tied with Bourdy for the lead, was another shot back. The win qualified Bourdy for next week's season-ending Volvo Masters at Valderrama. He also became the Tour's record 18th first-time winner of 2007.
Titleist was the most played golf ball at the Mallorca Classic with 75 players (66%) relying on the Pro V1 or Pro V1x, five times the nearest competitor with 15. The win was the 30th for Titleist golf ball players on the 2007 PGA European Tour, six times the nearest competitor with 5.
LPGA: Suzann Pettersen (Pro V1) earned her second consecutive win, her third in four weeks, and her fifth LPGA Tour title of the year with a victory at the Honda LPGA Thailand. Pettersen converted a 15-foot eagle putt on the 479-yard par 5 finishing hole for the one-shot win. Pettersen's final round 1-under 71 gave her at 21-under 267 total. She entered Sunday at 20-under after a firing a bogey-free 63 a day earlier.
Last week, Pettersen won the weather-shortened Hana Bank KOLON Championship in South Korea. Earlier this year, she won the won the Michelob Ultra Open in May for her first LPGA Tour victory and captured her first major title in the McDonald's LPGA Championship in June. Four weeks ago, Pettersen won in a playoff in the Longs Drugs Challenge. She also won the Ladies European Tour's SAS Masters in August in Norway.
Titleist was the golf ball of choice with 45 (75%) of the 60 players at the event, compared to 8 for the nearest competitor. The win was the 16th for Titleist golf ball players on the 2007 LPGA Tour.
NATIONWIDE: With inclement weather forcing players to complete 36 holes Sunday, rookie Marc Turnesa (Pro V1x, 907D2 driver, 906F2 fairway metal, 695.MB irons, Vokey Design sand wedge and Spin Milled lob wedge, Scotty Cameron Xperimental putter) finished the two rounds in 3-under (69-70) to earn his first career victory by one shot at the Miccosukee Championship. Turnesa led the field with 23 birdies en route to a 15-under 269 total and all but assured himself of a PGA Tour card, moving from No. 43 to No. 13 on the Money List with only next week's Nationwide Tour Championship remaining on the schedule. Jon Mills (Pro V1x, 907D2 driver, 906F2 fairway metal, 755 irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled TVD sand and lob wedges, Scotty Cameron prototype putter) and David Mathis (Pro V1x) finished one shot back in second at 14-under as Titleist golf ball players secured the top three positions.
Titleist was the most played golf ball at the Miccosukee Championship with 113 (79%) players, more than 11 times the nearest competitor with 10. Titleist was also the most played iron (44), utility iron (2), wedge (142) and putter (54). The win was the 19th for Titleist golf ball players on the 2007 Nationwide Tour, more than three times the nearest competitor with 6.
JAPAN: Frankie Minoza (Pro V1) earned his seventh career Japan Golf Tour title in a playoff with 20-year old Dong-Hwan Lee (Pro V1x, 905R driver, 585.H utility metals, 695MB irons, Vokey Design approach and Spin Milled lob wedge, Scotty Cameron putter). The pair finished regulation in a share of the lead at 14-under par after Lee birdied three of his last four holes.
Titleist was the most played golf ball at the ABC Championship with 39 (43%) players, compared to 15 for the nearest competitor. Titleist was also the most played utility metal (12), wedge (35) and was second in drivers (13).
ASIA: Juvic Pagunsan of the Philippines (Pro V1x, 905R driver) captured the Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational for his first career title on the Asian Tour. Pagunsan finished birdie-eagle to shoot an impressive final round of 7-under 65 and finish with a 19-under total. Nineteen year-old Gaganjeet Bhullar (Pro V1x) enjoyed the best finish of his rookie season by finishing just one shot out of a playoff. Bhullar actually had the clubhouse lead at 18-under before watching Pagunsan roll in his eagle putt to deny him the victory. Lee Westwood (Pro V1x) and Anthony Kang (Pro V1x) tied for third at 16-under. In fact, 10 of the 12 players who finished among the top 10 and ties trusted their success to Titleist golf balls.
Of the 150 players in the field, 121 (81%) relied upon Titleist golf balls, more than six times the nearest competitor with 18.
SOUTH AFRICA: Louis Oosthuizen (New Pro V1x) made par on the second playoff hole to go wire-to-wire and win the Platinum Classic. Oosthuizen fired a final round 2-under 70 to finish the week with an 11-under 205 and earn his third victory of the season.
AUSTRALASIA: Ryan Haller (New Pro V1x) fired a final round 7-under 65, including an eagle at the par-5 18th, to come from behind and win the City Pacific - Mirvac Queensland Open by three shots. A total of 123 players (79%) in the field at this week's event relied on Titleist as their ball of choice, including 11 of the 14 players who finished among the top and ties.

These days, I am back to getting a weekly allowance.
Granted, it seems a little funny now, not having received a weekly allowance since the early-to-mid 1960s. Back then, for two years I religiously saved my $2 a week in a little red box, started spending it on flying lessons once I hit age 15, and was able to solo a Cessna 150 after turning 16, shortly before my money ran out and I went off to work.
Flying was a lot cheaper then. ...

A Sea of Grass
The delicate fingers of the wind lightly caressed his face and tossed his hair about with random flurries. Each ray of sunlight kissed his cheek and sent a sense of calm throughout his entire body. In every direction, as far as his earthy brown eyes could see, tall grasses of the plains swayed to and fro like innumerable gypsies enraptured in song and dance.
This was his favorite place. All that was trivial and all that was harrowing was momentarily lost within the waves of wild grasses.Painless hours passed whenever he lay amongst these familiar friends and eternities lived and died within the young man's mind. Seemingly profound questions of purpose, love and meaning left the man in a state of transcendence where time, fear and anxiety ceased to exist leaving only the man and his thoughts adrift upon a sea of grass.

Wilsonville Elementary School Reviews
By Joan Lee, a Parent on
Wilsonville Elementary has top of the line faculty, staff and students who really care. The children are excited about learning and can not wait to go to school. There is not a teacher there that I wouldn't want my child to have. I also feel that the faculty and staff are well trained to take care of every emergency ...We, as parents and grandparents are very blessed and I'll have to say. a little spoiled.

To the editor: The Southport/Oak Island Friends of the Library would like to extend a huge thank you to the community and all our dedicated volunteers for their overwhelming support during our second annual Friends of the Library Week Oct. 19-25.

The following cases were adjudicated over five days of District Criminal Court on Nov. 19, 20, 21, 24 and 25 in Bolivia.
Wednesday, Nov. 19

To the editor: As we just experienced "All Saints Day," I ask you: are you a saint? I am.
Before anyone who knows me heads to the phone to call me a heretic or a hypocrite, let me explain. It is not because of any good works I have done.
It is because of God's authority in His Word that tells us what a saint is.
We in this world call a person a saint if they display devout and sacrificial service for a church or a cause. God describes a saint as one who has received Christ as Lord and Savior.
To the editor:
Re: John Heidtke's column in Nov. 27 issue of the Beacon.
As a retired law enforcement officer (FBI 1969-1994) and resident of Brunswick County, I enjoyed your column, "Decent People versus Criminals and Thugs: Who Will Prevail?"
With all due respect to your interest and research into the subject as it concerns Brunswick County (with which I totally agree), I believe your energies might be best directed elsewhere.
More than a ton of food donated to local families this holiday season has come from the students at Union Elementary School.

Students at Shallotte Middle School topped the record they set last year while collecting cans and non-perishable food items for the Seaside United Methodist Church food pantry and Brunswick Family Assistance (BFA).
Students collected more than 5,500 cans and $760 in cash and donations. A $500 donation was made to BFA, and a $260 donation was made to a Shallotte Middle School student whose house burned down and lost his mother during the blaze.
I love a good board game.
For as long as I can remember, I've loved games. Before I started school, I'd play board games with my Nanny nearly every day. I'd play all day if she were up for it.
The farthest back I can remember is playing a version of Memory. Scrabble was always a favorite of ours, as well as a game called, "It's Only Money," which makes me think that's where my shopping addiction began, but that's another column.

Altova is a leading developer of XML, database, and UML tools. The company was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts and Vienna, Austria. Altova purchases renewable energy certificates (RECs) to compensate for all the carbon emissions produced in powering its US headquarters. At the same time, the company switched its European headquarters – Altova GmbH – over to using only renewable energy from wind, solar, and hydro power. Altova's decision to purchase renewable energy credits was to give back to the environment by helping to lessen the effects that greenhouse gasses and air pollution are having on the quality of our environment. "From day-to-day business operations to travel and special events, the energy being used by companies is having a lasting effect on the environment," said Alexander Falk, President and CEO of Altova. "By purchasing clean renewable energy, Altova is helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, fight the global climate change, and through carbon neutrality reduce our environmental footprint, to provide a healthier environment for our families, friends, employees, and customers."

Braised Chicken Gumbo
(Originally from Eating Well)
This is a quick meal that can be cooked in 30 minutes if you have leftovers from last week's crockpot Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken. This gumbo is absolutely delicious!!
- 1 Tbl. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red or green bell pepper, diced
- 2 Tbl. all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded chicken from Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken
- 2 cups sauce from Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup sliced okra, fresh or frozen (thawed) **I have omitted this a couple of times
- 3/4 cup rice
- 1/8-1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
NOTE: If you have leftover rice from the Braised Chicken, just reheat it. Otherwise starting cooking rice first, so it's ready to add to the gumbo in step 2.
Step 1: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and flour and cook, stirring, until the pepper is beginning to soften and the flour is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 2: Add chicken, sauce, broth, okra, rice and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the flavors meld and the okra is tender, about 10 minutes.
And…you're done! See how easy it is? This gumbo has such rich flavors from the crockpot dish. I would highly recommend trying it!

No!!!!!!! Not on Sky One first!
I'd say broadcast them at the same time. Otherwise it would be off to the unnamed distributed file sharing program for me....
It will be interesting to see if the TV companies respond to the increase in TV ripping and sharing. Because either way, if there is a delay for the new series here or in the US, a lot of people are going to be sharing Battlestar Galactica files via bittorrent (or other p2p). The only answer is a synchronised global release, just like big movies have these days.

For: High Grade Standard Seats, Sunroofs, Vast Hatchback Opening
Against: Expensive TRD Options, No Paddle Shifts
At a base price of just $19,575, the Scion tC puts you in the driver's seat of a solid, enjoyable product of Toyota engineering. Redesigned with a turret-top and slit headlights for 2011, the striking tC remains unchanged for 2012. Its specification list surprises you with unexpected extras. Under the stubby hood lies a 2.5 liter, in-line 4, decked out with variable valve timing (VVT-i), twin overhead camshafts (DOHC) and 16 valves, all of which conspire to produce a hefty 180hp. Now that almost every engine compartment is hidden from view by plastic modesty shielding, it's a pleasure to be able to examine the workings of this Scion's lively four binger without having to remove an obstructive cover plate.
Unanticipated extras keep on coming once you slip inside the low-roofed cabin. The driver's seat feels like it belongs in a much more expensive vehicle, with its nubby fabric gripping your torso, and its high side bolsters clamping you like a vice. Given the fact that our test tC was optionally equipped ($2,199) with 19 inch anthracite TRD alloy wheels and high g-force generating Toyo Proxes S4 tires (235/35ZR19), the cosseting seats were more than a match for the exceptional side loads posted by this Scion. Another unexpected benefit of the tC's redesign is the standard double sunroof that brightens the interior. This solarium effect more than compensates for the short side windows that give the new tC its tank-like profile. Once you're settled inside, you almost feel like you're driving a convertible. The separate rear sunroof makes even the rear seat seem like a hospitable place, though access to it is inhibited by the car's short wheelbase and bulky front seat backs.

Lessons From FedEx, Schwab, eBay, And Others On The Customer-Driven Web Economy
Read the Original Article at InformationWeek
Are you plugged in to your customers? The old days of companies tightly controlling a marketing message are gone, and there's probably more you should be doing to use the Internet to connect with consumers.
The interactive forces of the Internet--including social networking sites, online discussion boards, and blogs--are arming consumers with tools that can quickly and exponentially spread the word to other would-be customers if a product stinks or a company blunders.
Think having a killer interactive Web site is enough? FedEx knows its Internet business must be much more than FedEx.com. It's looking for more ways to have its services available online right where a customer might want them--on an e-commerce site, inside an enterprise software app, in an Outlook e-mail box, or even in a Second Life virtual room.
"The model is changing," says FedEx CIO Rob Carter. "Services are showing up when they're needed."
There's plenty of peril in embracing this customer-driven Web economy. Companies that badger customers with online surveys or Web forum invites are sure to get tuned out, and many people won't even try to distinguish legit outreach e-mail from phishing spam.
Online forums can serve up valuable, candid customer insights, as Schwab has found, but they can also crater. Unica, a marketing management software company, spent months trying to build an audience around a blog for high-level marketing issues, only to decide its people's time would be spent at in-person events and other direct customer engagements. And everyone learned the lesson from Whole Foods CEO John Mackey's making anonymous blog comments running down competitors--right?
internetevolution.com, with its ThinkerNet blog of more than 65 contributors, including Internet activist and blogger Cory Doctorow, wireless expert Alan Reiter, Greentech Media CEO Scott Clavenna, and Boeing CIO John Hinshaw, as well as videos, Webinars, news, and more.
At financial services company Charles Schwab, online forums give product development teams insight into the demands of existing clients--and more recently, an entire generation of prospective clients.
The investment industry has focused mostly on baby boomers and retirees, Schwab VP Jonathan Craig says. People in their 30s and 40s have been tougher for the industry to court--they have 401(k) accounts from work, so they aren't looking for other retirement savings vehicles, and their big worries are near-term money crunches such as buying a home, paying down student loans, and saving for their children's college. Schwab set out this year to better understand this generation's financial concerns and saw the Web as the way to reach them.
Along with Communispace, which builds private online communities, Schwab created a Money and More Web site and invited 1,000 people in their 30s and 40s--none of them current Schwab customers--to participate in surveys and discussion groups. Four hundred accepted the invitation, spurred in part by incentives from Communispace. Over five months, Schwab used the site to survey participants about their investment, savings, and other financial habits and attitudes. But the richest information came from the free-form online discussions. Even without Schwab's asking about debt, for instance, the conversation revealed people's worries and desire to eliminate debt. "We learned a lot by asking questions," Craig says, "but we learned more by watching them talk to one another."
Craig calls the conversations "an epiphany that drove a lot of our marketing." Among the new products launched as a result is a checking account that earns 4% interest, offering free checks and no ATM fees. Since launching in April, Schwab has opened 60,000 new accounts, increasing its base of customers in their 30s and 40s by 40% this year compared with a year ago. Some of those are becoming brokerage clients for Schwab. "This is a gateway to investing" for some who were too overwhelmed or intimidated to open brokerage and other accounts, Craig says. The site is down now, but Schwab plans to launch a new Money and More site with more features.
There can be a seduction to the candor people express anonymously online, as if we're finally hearing the truth. But it might just as well be that people exaggerate their feelings for effect, warns Allen Weiss, a marketing professor at the University of Southern California business school and founder of the MarketingProfs Web site. "It's an age-old issue--be careful about who you're listening to," he says. "You don't want to build for one person."
To figure out if customers would object to it, OnStar tapped an online community it built with its most involved customers--those who signed up for a monthly remote evaluation report of their vehicles' performance. From this group, it build a panel of about 3,000 OnStar customers who participate in surveys about new products, with about 250 picked for each survey, which come every month or two to explore the level of interest or potential problems of new features.
Stolen Vehicle Slowdown posed particular concerns. OnStar already offers a service to locate stolen vehicles using GPS. But this service would let police, if they spotted that vehicle on the road, call OnStar to have it slowed down, thus avoiding a dangerous high-speed chase while still allowing the driver to steer. Executives worried customers might see OnStar as having "too much control over the vehicle," says Ian Wild, director of OnStar consumer insight.
Online surveys and customer comments convinced OnStar execs that customers would be satisfied with the service's safeguards, including checks to ensure that the right vehicle is being slowed. Announced last month, Stolen Vehicle Slowdown will be launched in 2009. But OnStar thinks it needs to expand its online community approach to be more interactive and next year plans to engage customers in more collaborative exchanges via an online community, akin to what Schwab is doing, says Wild.
OnStar also subscribes to Nielsen BuzzMetrics, a service that provides reports about a company's performance in "consumer-generated media," from blogs to message boards to online reviews. If people are talking about a particular OnStar-related issue on the Web, "our ears are open," says Wild, though it doesn't react to everything on the Web. Other services like BuzzMetrics have popped up to monitor the blogosphere's potential wrath, and some companies do their own monitoring through Google Alerts or via customized RSS feeds. FedEx's Carter says it offers transparency into what people are saying--good and bad, true and false--sooner than it might float back through other channels. It's the "power of dog hearing," Carter says.
The Internet doesn't mean a customer destination like a Web site, says Carter--it means connections. For FedEx, that means finding more ways to integrate its offerings into what people are doing in work and life.
The tools for doing that are FedEx's software sets that let companies create applications that integrate FedEx shipping or printing services into their own Web-based offerings, without a trip to FedEx.com. EBay sellers, for example, can build FedEx shipping directly into their eBay pages. And it's built into business software so people can ship or track goods inside the application--and sometimes the same screen--they're working in.
The company is beta-testing services to let customers use Outlook e-mail applications to invoke FedEx shipping. Already, a capability in Adobe lets customers push an icon and have documents printed at one of its FedEx Kinko's copy shops.
Ideas like these start with observing what customers are doing, then figuring out how FedEx can use the Internet to offer its services there. Thus, it's only a matter of time before FedEx service shows up in virtual worlds like Second Life, says Carter. Avatars, the virtual characters representing real people in the 3-D animated world, will buy real products from virtual stores and have them shipped by FedEx, he says.
Yet embracing the customer-driven Internet economy this way means giving up some control to customers. For FedEx, that means giving customers more information and letting them figure out how to use it. FedEx labs are working on active radio frequency identification sensors that provide data on the temperature, lighting, or vibrations that packages endure--monitoring that might benefit companies shipping biomedical supplies, or those sending expensive merchandise such as jewelry. Or it might mean mass-market uses of "geo-fencing," which uses the company's geographic information system software to send notice if a shipment strays beyond the expected route. In the future, that technology might alert a customer that the FedEx truck is a mile away, so the consumer can be waiting at home or work. Those sound like what-if perks today, but it might not be that far off before customers come to expect such services, says Carter.
Are CIOs the right people to push this customer-driven Web agenda at companies? Carter is doing so at FedEx, taking up the cause in a recent essay sent to FedEx employees. "The greatest opportunities lie in socially networking corporations together--horizontally, across business processes, which don't necessarily live within your four walls anymore," he wrote.
At eBay, there's no need for the company to beg for responses from its community. If participants, especially the estimated 1 million-plus who make it a big part of their income, don't like a change, they let their voices be heard, posting more than 6 billion comments for one another on its online forum regarding their eBay transactions.
Behind the scenes, the company also uses analytic software to gain more precise quantitative information about whether a new idea will fly.
About two years ago, the company began testing new features on its eBay site with a sample of buyers before they're rolled out throughout the site. The company always has tracked and analyzed data, but about two years ago it began rolling out new features to 1% to 2% of customers visiting the site, as well as to people who ask to be included in such tests via the www.ebay .com/playground site, which invites users to try new bidding, buying, and searching capabilities. It now collects every click related to a feature being tested and measures that against "buyer engagement" metrics such as return visits, bids, and buying.
That means hits and misses. When the company rolled out a "stemming" search feature that delivered the same listing for a two-word search such as "shower head" as it would for "showerhead," it was an instant hit--including with sellers of shower heads, one of whom reported to eBay that he sold as many in three weeks as he had in the previous three months.
But some flop. Two years ago, eBay offered a search feature that returned results not just for the searched-for items, but for other goods the sellers featured on their storefront pages. It proved to be way too much information that slowed buyers down, and the feature got axed within weeks. It's part of what led to eBay's current practice of trying new features on a much smaller scale. One recent feature that's looking like a winner is visual navigation, which lets buyers get enlarged views of certain products by rolling over them with a mouse, something particularly popular with items such as jewelry, where shoppers want a close-up.
Yet for all its online focus, eBay keeps in-person gatherings part of its customer connections. About 10 times a year it brings fewer than a hundred community members--people known for distinct and sharply held ideas--to meet with eBay senior execs. They then have follow-up e-mail threads to the so-called "Voices" meetings. And there's even a call-in radio show, with the company's first customer service rep. The options keep expanding for companies trying to keep up with customers, even as the old ones don't necessarily go away.
Just this month, social networking site Facebook launched Facebook Pages, so members can give companies friend-like privileges to send them information. "We noticed people wanted to connect with their favorite music, restaurants, and brands," Facebook ads product manager Leah Pearlman said in her blog introducing them, "but there was no good place for these types of affiliations to exist." The idea is not only that you want to hear from certain companies, but you'll want to share your shopping experiences with friends via Facebook--like telling them what movies you've got queued up on Blockbuster.com, Pearlman suggests.
IT execs have an opportunity to help their companies sort through the fast-changing options in this customer-driven economy. Forrester's Bernoff offers a quick framework for sorting out the options. First, figure out what target audience you're trying to reach through a new medium, and what you want to accomplish--information, ideas, sales? Next, determine how the strategy will change your relationship with customers. Only then is it worth weighing the technology choices for what you're attempting to do.
Most CIOs probably believe they've done a lot to make their businesses more Internet-friendly, reaching their customers in new ways. Some may think they're pretty much done. FedEx's Carter counters that most companies' e-commerce efforts have just "paved the cow path"--taken an existing model that happened in person and enabled the same process through a Web site. "You go to a place, you do business inside that place, and then you pay on the way out," Carter said in his essay to colleagues. "I believe that this paradigm has begun to dissolve."
What's replaces it? A customer-driven Web economy that demands companies interact with customers in new ways, new places--and, more than ever, on the customers' terms.

Invitation to treat
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2010)
Invitation to treat (or invitation to bargain in the United States) is a contract law term. It comes from the Latin phrase invitatio ad offerendum and means "inviting an offer". Or as Andrew Burrows writes, an invitation to treat is
"an expression of willingness to negotiate. A person making an invitation to treat does not intend to be bound as soon as it is accepted by the person to whom the statement is addressed."[1]
Contract lawyers distinguish this from a binding offer, which can be accepted to form a contract (subject to other conditions being met). The distinction between an offer and invitation to treat is best understood through the categories that the courts create. Invitations to treat include the display of goods; the advertisement of a price or an auction; and an invitation for tenders (or competitive bids). There may however be statutory or complementary obligations, so consumer protection laws prohibit misleading advertising and at auctions without reserve there is always a duty to sell to the highest bona fide bidder.
Case law[edit]

|Contract interpretation
|Excuses for non-performance
|Rights of third parties
|Breach of contract
|Quasi-contractual obligations
|Related areas of law
|Other common law areas
The clearest example of an invitation to treat is a tender (or bidding in the US) process. This was illustrated in the case of Spencer v Harding (1870) LR 5 CP 561, where the defendants offered to sell by tender their stock and the court held that they had not undertaken to sell to the person who made the highest tender, but were inviting offers which they could then accept or reject as they saw appropriate. In certain circumstances though, an invitation for tenders may be an offer. The clearest example of this was seen in Harvela Investments Ltd v Royal Trust of Canada (CI) Ltd [1986] AC 207, where the defendants had made it clear that they were going to accept the highest tender; the court held that this was an offer that was accepted by the person who made the highest tender; and that the defendants were in breach of contract by not doing so.
An auction can be more ambiguous. Generally, an auction may be seen as an invitation to treat, with the property owner asking for offers of a certain amount and then selecting which to accept, as illustrated in Payne v Cave (1789) 3 TR 148. However, if the owner states that there is no reserve price or that there is a reserve price beyond which offers will be accepted, then the auction is most likely a contractual offer which is accepted by the highest bidder; this was affirmed in the Court of Appeal in Barry v Davies [2000] 1 WLR 1962.
A shop owner displaying goods for sale is generally making an invitation to treat (Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) Ltd [1953] 1 QB 401). The shop owner is not obliged to sell the goods to anyone who is willing to pay for them, even if additional signage, such as "special offer", accompanies the display of the goods (compare bait and switch.) This distinction was legally relevant in Fisher v Bell [1961] 1 QB 394, where it was held that displaying a flick knife for sale in a shop did not contravene legislation which prohibited offering for sale such a weapon. The distinction also means that if a shop mistakenly displays an item for sale at a very low price it is not obliged to sell it for that amount.[2]
Generally, advertisements are invitations to treat, so the person advertising is not compelled to sell to every customer. In Partridge v Crittenden [1968] 1 WLR 1204, it was held that where the appellant advertised to sell wild birds, was not offering to sell them. Lord Parker CJ commented that it did not make "business sense" for advertisements to be offers, as the person making the advertisement may find himself in a situation where he would be contractually obliged to sell more goods than he actually owned. In certain circumstances however, an advertisement can be an offer, a well-known example being the case of Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company [1893] 1 QB 256, where it was held that the defendants, who advertised that they would pay anyone who used their product in the prescribed manner and caught influenza £100 and said that they had deposited £1,000 in the bank to show their good faith, has made an offer to the whole world and were contractually obliged to pay £100 to whoever accepted it by performing the requested acts.
For an offer to be capable of becoming binding on acceptance, the offer must be definite, clear, and final. If it is a mere preliminary move into negotiation which may lead to a contract, it is not an offer but an invitation to treat. The offerer must have been initiating negotiations from which an agreement may or may not in time result. The important point to note is that, since an invitation to treat is not an offer, but rather a phenomenal preliminary to an offer, an invitation to treat is not capable of an acceptance which will result in a contract.

Donation Value
Calculate Donation Value
Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization. Federal law permits Goodwill donors to claim tax deductions for many financial contributions and for donated clothing and household goods in good, used condition or better.
Goodwill's Donation Center attendants will gladly provide you with a donation receipt for your tax records.
If you're unsure whether your item qualifies for a tax deduction, then consider this: if you would give it to a relative or friend, then the item is most likely in good condition and is appropriate to donate.
But before you donate, there are some important things you need to know. Per IRS Publication 561, all nonprofit organizations are prohibited from assigning values to material donations. That means it's the donor's responsibility to determine the item's fair market value.
To assist you in calculating the value of your donation, we have included a Price List for items sold in our Goodwill Stores for use as a guide. Prices for small appliances, furniture, antiques, exercise equipment, and other special donations are based on condition and quality.
These prices apply to items sold in all Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont stores except the Goodwill Outlet Store located on Freedom Drive in Charlotte.
More IRS guidelines for charitable contributions can be found at their website or by calling toll-free 1-800-829-1040.

Cochon 555
COCHON 555 SEATTLE (Five Chefs, Five Pigs, Five Winemakers)
For tickets go to http://www.cochon555.com (DISCOUNT CODE: formaticum)
On Sunday, May 23rd at 5:00pm (3:30pm if you purchase a VIP ticket), Bell Harbor International Conference Center will be hosting Cochon 555, quite possibly the most extravagant celebration of the heritage pig Seattle will see this year.
Chefs John Sundstrom (Lark), Adam Stevenson (Earth & Ocean), Anthony Hubbard (Chow Foods), Chester Gerl (Matt's in the Market), and Tamara Murphy (Brasa) will each prepare a 140 pound heritage breed hog (including everything but the oink!) in this competition in a bid to be crowned "Prince of Porc". Both the public and the team of professional judges (disclosure: I am one) will determine a winner based on presentation, utilization and overall best flavor.
During the 2.5 hour reception, guests will be treated to a flurry of dishes. What'll be served up on May 23rd remains a surprise, but last year, dishes included a terrine made with head, trotters, and shank meat with black truffles, pork belly consommé with brain mousse, lardo on bread, and sweet and smoky bacon macaroons.
The five wines poured at this event include offerings from McCrea Cellars, Long Shadows Wineries, Buty Winery, Fidelitas Wines, and Elk Cove Vineyards.
Tickets for regular admission to this event are $125 (though use the discount code: formaticum for a bit of savings.) A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance.
Tickets for the VIP event are $175. In addition to early admission, VIP ticket holders are treated to additional reserve wines, and an oyster tasting and special selection of reserve wines. Artisan cheeses from DeLaurenti, savory cocktails by Daniel Hyatt of Alembic SF and craft brews from Pike Brewing Company, will be on offer as you mingle with the chefs, winemakers, and judges at this event.
