Mews houses appeal to buyers looking for a low-built house in the capital arranged over two or three floors and have an interesting past, since they used to be stables and stores for much grander, larger houses nearby.
James Gilbert-Green, of Strutt & Parker's Knightsbridge office, says: "Because of their size, mews houses often make great pieds-à-terre or bachelor pads. They are understandably popular with developers as they are not listed buildings, and therefore they can usually be extended underground with relative ease, subject to the correct planning permissions. Once extended, they can be anywhere from 2,500 sq ft to 3,500 sq ft – which is comparable to a multi-storey London townhouse."
The Garden House on Clabon Mews in Knightsbridge is a fantastic example of an impressive mews house which defies expectations. Recently refurbished and extended, it stretches to 3,500 sq ft and features four bedrooms, four reception rooms, a fabulous garden to the rear and a garage; it is equally suited to both formal entertaining and more relaxed family life. Its basement is particularly "wow", with dramatic ceiling heights of 3m, a gym, steam room, and incredibly spacious entertainment room with 65in plasma screen and a full wet bar.
Mr Gilbert-Green adds: "The very best mews houses have garages, outside space to the rear, plenty of natural light and fabulous basement dig outs. These are fantastic for creating space for storage, utility rooms and extra bedrooms – but also luxury extras such as home cinemas. The most impressive mews houses do not feel like mews houses once you are inside because the proportions have great presence."

He repeated Iran's view that the British sailors and marines "invaded" Iranian waters, but said they were being released as a "gift" to Britain.
He said they would be taken to Tehran airport and flown home within hours.
Downing Street welcomed news of the release, while Iranian state media said the British crew members "shouted for joy" on hearing the news.
Finally, it's been a long wait, one of them Sailors/Marines was from Leicester (I live in Leicestershire), it's good to hear they have been released, but as usual the British Government have been so slow, they could of just admitted and they would have been released last Thursday.

Remember Me
Tea Leaf Green :: 01.27.10 :: Blueberry Hill :: St. Louis, MO
Granted, the band's job was a little easier given the mood established by opening act Elmwood, who sated the room with an explosive set. I often find myself bemoaning the presence of an opening band - simply craving the music of the headliner - and it was a treat to have the Nashville quartet prove me wrong. Jaw dropping percussion, fiery and passionate sax playing, slick bass work and a charismatic frontman made up this fantastically tight band. Singer Ruston Kelly's voice was draped in a gravel-coated soulfulness that planted images of a David Gray-fronted jam band into my head.
But even the most talented of openers can't satisfy a crowd's enthusiasm for the headliner, and as Tea Leaf Green launched into "These Two Chairs," that enthusiasm was undoubtedly released. Fists flew into the air in unison with Garrod's voice as he sang the band's battle call: "And the kids, they just don't understand/ but they've got a rock & roll band!" The crowd sank with ease into the music as the band continued into "One Reason." I'm not sure whether it's coincidence or mission, but TLG certainly has found their convention. They work with rock & roll's basic stuff - grit, soul, twang, rhythm & blues - grappling with it, reworking it and wringing it out for all it's got.
As individuals, the group was a thrill to witness. Axeman Josh Clark owned the stage, strutting around his small portion with swagger and sass. His guitar playing was phenomenal and contradicted various critics who write him off as technically shallow. Though his phrasing is heavily rooted in classic rock, the emotion in every bend, snap and strum of his Les Paul shone through as truly his own. His licks were savory, soulful and thick, spurring mental references to a young Dickey Betts; I suspect his melodic sense owes much to the Allmans and the rest of southern rock's royal family.
Admittedly the core of the group, it's Garrod's slick hands and even slicker pen that gives the band the upper hand. In a live setting, it's thrilling to hear his voice ring clear over the pulsing mayhem of a rock band in full force. Moreover, his songwriting skills are fantastic; he possesses the oft sought yet rarely achieved ability - Neil Young and Bob Marley come to mind - to string together the simplest of words into the most moving of sentiments and pair them with utterly infectious melodies. Top it all off with one hell of a set of hands, and you've the recipe for rock & roll euphoria. Whether it was on a beautiful "Earth and Sky," a jubilant "Ride Together" or a downright nasty "Precious Stone," Garrod's fingers flew nimbly over the keys and sent constant streams of shimmering, sparkling notes over the rest of the boys' rock solid outfit. As a spectator nicely commented, "He's either shining on the keys or screamin' on the organ."
Seeing this band, one can't escape feelings of hope, happiness and freedom. The purity to their approach and obvious passion for their craft exuded these three sentiments throughout the night. What's amazing about a band like this - and a hallmark of any great live band - is their complete surrender to the show. I mused on the fact that though this tiny club in St. Louis couldn't have seemed farther away for a band from San Francisco, they played as if it was a sold out hometown crowd. Garrod was even so enthusiastic that at one point near the show's end he completely flipped over his stool! It makes an audience feel appreciated, and by putting on a hell of a show for a few hundred music-hungry Midwesterners, that's what a band like this does best.

Beverly J. Fleming
Thank you, Ryan, and welcome to Northern Trust Corporation's Fourth Quarter 2011 Earnings Conference Call. Joining me on our call this morning are Michael O'grady, Northern Trust's Chief Financial Officer; Eileen Blake, our Controller; and Allison Quaintance, from our investor relations team.
For those of you who do not receive our fourth quarter earnings press release or financial trends report via e-mail this morning, they are both available on our website at northerntrust.com. In addition and also on our website, you will find our quarterly earnings review presentation which we will use to guide today's conference call. This January 18th call is being webcast live on northerntrust.com. The only authorized rebroadcast of this call is the replay that will be available through February 17th. Northern Trust disclaims any continuing accuracy of the information provided in this call after today.
Now, for our Safe Harbor statement. What we say during today's conference call may include forward-looking statements which are Northern Trust's current estimates and expectations of future events or future results. Actual results, of course, could differ materially from those indicated by these statements because the realization of those results is subject to many risks and uncertainties. I urge you to read our 2010 annual report and our periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission for detailed information about factors that could affect actual results.
Thank you again for joining us today. Let me turn the call over to Mike O'grady.
Michael G. O'grady
Thank you, Bev. Let me join Bev and welcome you to today's call. First, I'll review our fourth quarter financial performance as we customarily do. And second, as we indicated in our last earnings call, I'll review the initiative we call driving performance which is our corporate-wide effort embarked on earlier in 2011 that focuses on improving our productivity, profitability and returns in order to deliver greater value to our clients and shareholders.
Before we get into details, I'd like to make a few overview comments on the quarter. The operating environment Northern Trust has faced in the last several quarters continued in the fourth quarter. While these conditions presented mostly challenges for our business, we saw certain benefits in our financial results in the fourth quarter reflected this dynamic. While the U.S. economy exhibited signs of a continued slow recovery, there was growing uncertainty in Europe. As a result, many of our clients remained cautious, which was reflected in continued increases in demand deposits on our balance sheet.
With interest rates still at historically low levels, we realized only a modest benefit from higher deposits as yields on high-quality investments decline. In addition, fee waivers on our money market funds increased as a result of low rates.
Another benefit of the improving U.S. economy can be seen in the credit quality of our loan portfolio. With trouble loans declining, our provision also declined. Equity markets were up in the fourth quarter but down on a quarterly and monthly lag basis. This had a negative impact on our trust fees as most of our fees are calculated on a lag basis. And foreign exchange volatility and volumes trended lower in the fourth quarter resulting in lower foreign exchange trading income.
Importantly, the uncertain backdrop does present the opportunity for Northern Trust to fulfill our role as a trusted advisor and service provider to our clients. We continue to be very successful in adding new clients, both personal and institutional, which enabled us to organically grow our business and partially offset the impact of these headwinds on our revenues. To provide the high level of service Northern Trust clients both new and existing are accustomed to, we continue to invest in our business both people and technology, which caused our ongoing expense levels to grow.
To achieve our goals delivering value to both our clients and shareholders, we have been actively identifying ways in which we can increase our productivity while maintaining the differentiated client service experience. With successful execution of driving performance, we expect to improve profitability and return. We'll talk more about that in the second section, but now, let's move to Page 4 and discuss the financial highlights of the fourth quarter.
Earlier this morning, Northern Trust announced fourth quarter reported net income of $130 million, a decrease of 17% versus last year and 24% versus last quarter. Earnings per share were $0.53. Fourth quarter results included $13 million in adjustments related to Visa, so consistent with our treatment of Visa items, operating earnings, which exclude the adjustment, were $0.50 per share. There were 2 additional items that we do not adjust for in operating earnings but impacted the fourth quarter. First, we recorded $61 million in restructuring, acquisition and integration expenses during the fourth quarter or $0.17 per share. The charges primarily relate to the driving performance initiative. There's a schedule of the components of the charges in the appendix.
Second, net interest income in the quarter included a $7-million increase associated with the settlement with the IRS regarding the tax treatment for certain structured leasing transactions. This settlement, along with related income tax impact, amounted to a benefit of $0.02 per share on the quarter. For the full year 2011, reported earnings were $2.47 per share. Operating earnings, which exclude only Visa, were $2.41 per share and restructuring, acquisition and integration charges were $92 million or $0.25 per share.
If you turn to Slide 5, Slide 5 summarizes our results for the quarter. Operating net income, which excludes Visa, was $122 million, and down 15% year-over-year and 28% sequentially. Excluding the after-tax impact of the additional 2 items I mentioned, the restructuring charge and the lease settlement, operating net income would've been up 9% year-over-year and down 9% sequentially. On that basis, both the year-over-year and sequential comparisons were favorably impacted by higher net interest income, a lower loan-loss provision and a lower effective tax rate. And while the fourth quarter was the first quarter to include the full impact of the Bank of Ireland security services and Omnium acquisitions, increasing both revenues and expenses, they were essentially just below breakeven on an operating basis.

episodes that are part of two different TV series

Re: episodes that are part of two different TV series
While not significant crossovers, ER and Chicago Hope often referenced each other, most notably when both shows accidentally opted to use NASA's "Surgeons in Space" program as a plotline, in virtually the same week.
ER's Dr. Green (Anthony Edwards) and CH's Dr. Austin (Christine Lahti) both signed up for the program. Once the producers/writers realized they'd come up with virtually the same story line, they played with it. A lot. There were several episodes where these characters would talk about one another as competing for the same position. There was even talk of doing an actual crossover, and maybe even a jointly produced TV movie of both of them being selected and going into space, but the networks involved couldn't come to an agreement, and both shows dropped the storyline.
Chicago Hope also acknowledged St Elsewhere in an episode featuring Mark Harmon, who was on both shows as totally different characters. The setting was a medical convention in Las Vegas, and in one scene Harmon steps out of his hotel, under one of those animated Hotel signs. This sign was welcoming the attendees from the various hospitals, and as Harmon exits the hotel, the sign changes to read "Las Vegas welcomes the Doctors of St Eligius Hospital".
If Ronald Reagan hadn't cut Mental Health funding to the bone, most of today's GOP & Tea Party candidates wouldn't be walking around loose.

Tieluohan tea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references (sources). (December 2009)
|No picture available
|Other names:
|Iron Arhat, 鉄羅漢
|Mount Wuyi, Fujian Province, China
|Quick description:
|Light Wuyi Tea.
Tieluohan (Chinese: 铁罗汉) is one of the Four Great Oolongs and a light wuyi tea. Tieluohan, all but unknown abroad,[citation needed] is the cultivar responsible for one of the four best known yan cha, "rock teas" grown on cliffs in the Wuyi Mountains area in northern Fujian Province. Legend tells that this tea was created by a powerful warrior monk with golden-bronze skin, hence the name tieluohan, which means "Iron Warrior Monk".
The color of the leaf is an intense green and the resulting tea is of a lighter color. The taste of the tea should be full-bodied and supple, with gentle floral notes and the traditional long-lasting finish.

hi everybody!
I've posted a few times now, and after reading a lot of the posts regarding packing bikes in luggage plus reviews on various types of bikes, I have a couple of questions specific to what I do... first, I currently have an '06 Dahon Speed P8 which I've been traveling with in the Airporter case; but this has proven quite expensive with oversize fees, sooo..
1) Would the Downtube Mini fit into either the Oyster or F'lite cases w/o disassembly?
2) Are the bikes pretty safe from damage in these cases? (I'll be traveling a LOT, and it will be in the hold of a bus once or twice a week and on planes about once a month...)
2) How is the ride of the Mini compared to my P8?
3) Other recommendations?
Thanks so much!

LAS CRUCES >> Francisco Flores-Enriquez, 26, a Mexican national in the United States illegally, pleaded guilty Friday in Las Cruces federal court to conspiracy to possess more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Flores-Enriquez was one of eight Mexican nationals arrested shortly after midnight on March 24 by U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Agents observed five vehicles breach the border fence south of Animas that night. They conducted surveillance as the vehicles drove northbound in a convoy and moved in when four of the vehicles crashed into each other.
The agents eventually apprehended eight individuals and took control of the four vehicles that contained about 3,154 kilograms of marijuana.
The eight defendants were charged with conspiracy and possession of more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana with intent to distribute. Four were also charged with re-entering the United States after prior deportation.
On Friday, Flores-Enriquez entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute.
He faces a prison sentence of at least 10 years and no more than life in prison. He will be deported after he completes his sentence. He has been in federal custody since his arrest and remains detained pending sentencing, which is yet to be scheduled.
His seven co-defendants have entered not guilty pleas and are detained pending trial.

'Privishing' defined
Summarized from Mr. Wikipedia for you by me:
Privishing refers to the process of technically publishing a book without really publishing it. It's printed in such small numbers or with such lack of marketing, advertising /sales support/enthusiasm that the book may as well never have been published in the first place. Said book is virtually impossible to obtain through normal channels, often can't be special-ordered and is very seldom reprinted.
In short, when a book is privished it's "killed".
Technical adherence to the terms of the publishing contract yes, but no more. Print-runs and marketing/sales budgets of controversial books will be slashed if a Publisher feels that promoting it will adversely affect business.
Privishing can be seen as a form of censorship too, particularly when it occurs in response to pressure from an irate author, or whomever. Threats of legal action or complications involving parent companies are often cited as reasons for privishing. Privishing also happens when there's a true lack of interest in a title, a change of direction for the publisher or in some cases where a key editor on the title resigns.
Because only a few books a year can be big successes publishers typically put their money and efforts where they'll get the most back. If a book doesn't generate early interest from key outlets, such as large department stores, then it will probably be left to flap in the wind.
The size of an advance paid for a book can also determine whether or not a book is privished. If a publisher sinks big coin into a book then it's likely to put at least enough money into sales/ promotion to at minimum earn the bread back. Books with low advances are killed with little publisher pain.
Privishing is a self-fulfilling prophesy: as initial sales efforts are subtly reduced, interest wains, marketing and sales efforts lose their priority. The author has no way to independently verify this and so can't know if his title has been purposefully killed or not.
Books have a very short time frame during which to make an impact with the buying public, it's almost impossible to determine the source of failure for a particular title, as a result, privishing has rarely been prosecuted in court.

I'd like to take the class without the kit. Is that permissible? I'm not in the US.
Hi Kimmels,
We will ship the kit to you (no additional charge). And yes, the class is designed to work with the kit.
I'm guessing you're referring to the Understanding Knit Fabrics class.

I took the class and have found the kit invaluable. Without it, a student would have great difficulty with the lessons. It's used literally hands-on to experience Sarah's teaching. Once the class is over, the abundant swatches are a library that is incredibly useful when buying knits. I refer to the kit and the lessons for making up knit garments. Sarah's a wonderful teacher. I hope you decide to go ahead with the class. Have fun!

Life Groups
Click here to see a Map of current Life Groups in your area!
What is a Life Group?
A Life Group is simply a small group of people from all different backgrounds that get together once a week to share a meal, have some fun and discuss their faith journey and how they can serve those in need.
Why should I join a Life Group?
If you answer "Yes" to any of these questions, you should probably join a Life Group…
- Would you like to connect with other believers in your neighborhood and experience a greater sense of community?
- Would you like your kids to meet and play with other kids in your neighborhood that go to RLC?
- Would you like a safe place to share your thoughts, questions, experiences, and doubts regarding your relationship with God and your faith journey?
- Would you like an environment where you can go deeper with the weekend message and discuss how you can actively apply it to your life?
- Would you like to have people in your life that pray for you and are willing to serve and care for you when you need help?
- Would you like a place to bring your unchurched spouse, child, family member, friend, etc. to meet other followers of Jesus in a fun, no-pressure, and casual atmosphere?
- Would you like to serve people in need and make an impact in the lives of others?
- Would you like "church" to go beyond what you experience on Sunday mornings?
How do I join a Life Group?
To sign up you have two choices…
You can START a new group with some family, friends, neighbors, co-workers etc. who attend RLC – or maybe don't even attend church but are willing and open to discussions about God. We will give you all the materials and training necessary to start a new group. Click the "Start a Group" button below, fill in your information and someone from our Life Groups Team will be in touch shortly.
Or, you can JOIN a group and get to know other folks from your area. We do our best to place first-time folks in groups together so everyone starts from the same place. Most groups are a mix of married people, single people, divorced people, couples with kids, couples without kids, and members range in age from 20′s to retired. Click the "Join a Group" button below, fill in your information and someone from our Life Groups Team will be in touch shortly. To see a map of all current Life Groups, click HERE.

Conservatives are, yet again, working to expand the unchecked power of police and increase our reliance on a violent criminal justice system. And this time they're doing it with a bill that would have devastating consequences for rape survivors.
Austin ranks high on lists of "family-friendly" American cities, but according a new report, its "family-friendly" benefits are primarily enjoyed by white Austinites—a group which makes up the minority of total Austin residents.
In the United States there have been more than 6,400 reported incidents of violence against abortion providers since 1977, and around the globe some 47,000 women die from unsafe abortions each year. What's that about anti-abortion views being non-violent again?
It seems that mainstream reproductive health and rights groups are realizing the limitations of reductive labels like "pro-choice." And that's a good thing.
Though the mainstream media's virtual silence on the issue suggests otherwise, the HIV epidemic continues to rage in the U.S., and African Americans and blacks are those hardest hit.
I often hear the question from African-American women, "What do they [the right] want? We either have too many kids or too many abortions. Which is it?" The truth is, to them, it's both.
The use of a government issued ID to suppress the rights of "undesirable" communities is not just limited to voting rights, but is also a barrier for access to over-the-counter emergency contraception.
Much of the discussion this election cycle has been about changing demographics. But demographics alone aren't going to run a policy agenda through the system. Huge challenges remain in economic justice, immigration, environment, education and housing reform.
A letter inspired by an encounter I recently had with a racially white person in the field who is planning a new project/program that does not include people of Color, with disabilities, who are youth or trans* identified. The letter is one filled with the same arguments I, and many other people of Color, have been making to racially white people in the field for years.

Small Newburgh store keeps hitting lottery's jackpot
Click here to view an interactive map and videos of all the local lottery hot spots.
It's called Broadway News, but the Money Store might be a better name. New York State Lottery money falls like thousand-dollar bills from heaven at the newsstand at 352 Broadway in Newburgh.
Since 2002, 154 people have won $1,000 or more at the store. That's nearly twice as many as the next store with the most winners in Ulster, Sullivan and Orange counties, a Sunday Record analysis found.
The Quick Mart at 515 Broadway sells nearly as many tickets but had just 81 winners in the same time. Some stores with more ticket sales than Broadway News have had barely more than a third as many big winners.
Lottery officials say they believe the large number of winners is linked to the kinds of tickets the store sells. Broadway News isn't the busiest store in the region, but it does sell more "numbers" tickets — games like Take 5 — sometimes twice as many as its competitors.
One of the most popular numbers games is Win 4, which has better odds for a big payoff than most scratch-off tickets.
The odds of winning $5,000 on a Win 4 24-way combination, for example, are 417 to 1. Spend that same dollar on a Beginner's Luck scratch-off ticket, though, and the odds of winning $1,000 are 504,000 to 1.
"I would guess it's sales mix," Lottery deputy director Gardner Gurney said. "The way a game is structured has a lot to do with whether you're going to see a lot of $1,000 winners."
The integrity of the lottery is based entirely on statistical chance. If winning tickets don't follow the laws of random probability, it's possible for someone to game the system.
Paul Velleman, professor of statistics at Cornell University, analyzed several years of lottery data at the request of the Sunday Record. He found that nearly every lottery outlet in the mid-Hudson conforms with the laws of probability.
The more tickets a store sells, the more winners it has, and stores with the most sales are most likely to fall in line with average payouts.
The payouts are different for different types of games, but overall, 50 cents of every dollar is supposed to go to winning players. Nine cents goes to overhead, 35 cents to schools and 6 cents to the retailer, who doesn't get a cut when someone hits the jackpot.
Broadway News, while meeting the state statutes for total money paid out, seems to be a little luckier than most.
"There could be an innocent explanation," Velleman said. "(But) it's not something we would expect to happen by chance."
Owner Manu Patel said his store's great service keeps people coming back. One of the busiest outlets in the region, Broadway News has sold about $6 million in lottery tickets in the last five years.
"It's our main business," Patel said. "We have a lot of people who come every day and they win."
One of those people is Assemblyman Thomas Kirwan, R-Newburgh, who spends $3 a day, mostly on Win 4. He picks the same numbers until he wins. Right now it's 2858. Last Tuesday, the winning numbers were 2886 and 5838.
"These are absolute sucker bets," Kirwan said. "Anyone who plays these things isn't someone you want to trust with your life savings."
But Kirwan has been luckier than most. He and his wife have won at least $5,000 four times in the last few years. In 2006, he hit for $100,000, the store's biggest winner over the last decade.
"I think I'm doing better on the stock market," he said.

Fact Box
Few ever win vs. the house
If you plan to buy a lottery ticket, you'll need a
dollar and a dream. But leave the statistician at home because he'll spoil the fun.
To statistics experts, the lottery is a tax on people who don't understand probability.
Yes, people win, but even the winners will end up losers if they keep playing.
As Cornell University professor Paul Velleman says: "If you (buy scratch-off tickets) regularly, I can count on you ending up with 65 cents in your pocket for every dollar you spend."
After all, the lottery is a money-making scheme for the state.
So what is it that drives people to shell out as much as $20 for a single ticket — and in Texas, $50 — to rub a penny across one measly scratcher ticket?
"I'd say, for most people, it's entertainment," said Gardner Gurney, deputy director of the New York State Lottery. "Some people go to the movies, some people get a cup of coffee and play (scratch-off) games."
And some people, like Joe Cohan, just love to gamble. Cohan plays twice a day at the Jiffy Stop in Monroe, spends $1,000 a month and says he "addicted."
"Why do I play?" Cohan asks. "Why do you work?"
There are lots of reasons people play the lottery, and Velleman says none of them is good.
Player: The small losses don't matter. The big win would.
Velleman: That's not always true, especially for lower-income people.
Player: It's fun.
Velleman: I can see that for a casino, even though in the long run you know you're probably going to lose. Casinos serve free drinks and you can ride a few dollars for a couple of hours.
Player: But the Mega Millions jackpot is $270 million. $270 million! And someone's going to win it.
Velleman: Yes, but it won't be you.
Statistics are rational. Dreams are definitely not.

The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) has been formally accredited as a Standards Developer by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), making PCI the only ANSI-accredited Standards Developer dedicated to precast concrete structures and systems. The accreditation allows PCI's voluntary consensus documents relating to the design, detailing, fabrication, transportation, and erection of precast and precast, prestressed concrete to be registered as American National Standards.
"As the leading technical institute for this industry, PCI has been developing standards for sixty years," said PCI President James G. Toscas, PE. "Our accreditation by ANSI allows PCI to have these documents formally recognized as American National Standards."
Since its founding in 1954, PCI has developed, maintained, and disseminated the body of knowledge for the precast concrete structures industry, which establishes engineering and quality requirements for designing, fabricating, and constructing everything from buildings and bridges to parking structures and stadiums using precast concrete. In addition to the rigorous development and review procedures PCI has traditionally utilized for its technical documents, to establish an American National Standard PCI will subject a document to a special standardization review and public comment process.
"PCI has long been the technical institute for the precast concrete structures industry, and becoming an ANSI accredited standards developer was a logical next step in furthering our standing in this industry" says Larbi Sennour, PE, SE, PhD, FACI, FPCI, chair of the PCI Technical Activities Council. "ANSI accreditation will make it easier for code and regulating authorities to adopt PCI standards."
Besides its broad-based professional membership, PCI has a highly-qualified staff that includes full time licensed professional engineers. This team, together with an internet-based committee management system, will provide oversight and support for PCI's standardization activities.
"PCI has a variety of guides, manuals, and other technical resources that already serve as standards for the precast concrete structures industry," says Jason Krohn, PE, BSCP, FACI, PCI Managing Director of Technical Activities. "Our ANSI accreditation is a testament to the capabilities and reputation that we have built over our 60 year history."
PCI will initially focus on updating several of its existing standards, such as those relating to quality improvement, quality control, and quality assessment, to become American National Standards.
About PCI
Founded in 1954, the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is the foremost developer of standards and methods for designing, fabricating, and constructing precast concrete structures. PCI also operates the world's leading certification program for firms and individuals in the precast concrete structures industry. Institute members include firms comprising the precast concrete structures industry as well as architects, consultants, contractors, developers, educators, engineers, materials suppliers, service providers, and students.
PCI develops, maintains, and disseminates the industry's body of knowledge and publishes a broad array of periodicals, technical manuals, reports, and other informational documents, including an award-winning technical journal. Additionally, PCI offers a variety of continuing education options, technical conferences, conventions, exhibitions, and awards programs. For more information, visit www.pci.org.

I've been doing the CGI modelling and texturing bit for a few years now on and off.
I come from a physical model building and painting background (miniatures, some sculpting painting, etc). That's taught me a lot about how to get a certain look out of a certain technique or texture. A lot of that carries over into 3d modelling and texture building.
My day job is a soul-sucking piece of [expletive deleted] but it pays the bills. But I still need to do more and give something back. So these boards are kind of an outlet for that side of myself.
I love the post apocalyptic and survival horror genres, as is evident in most of my goodies. The cheesier the movie the better.

When designing an EJB solution, where would you put all the constants associated with a certain entity EJB? The remote interface? In my case, that's generated using XDoclet. I know that I can ask XDoclet to make the generated interface implement an interface of my own, where I can put all these things, but the whole point of XDoclet is that you only maintain one single source file.
Any thoughts?
Thanks! Pavel

Funny: Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z
- In the 41st episode, Himeko/Princess gloats to herself that she and her sister are only using Mojo for their plans, while Mojo gloats to himself that he plans to turn on the two and take more of their money. The dub version is also funny, as it instead has Mojo say to himself that the Morbucks sisters don't suspect that he doesn't have a master plan and acting like it is something to be proud of.
- In the last episode, the girls have an Imagine Spot of still being Powerpuff Girls while elderly when they face the possibility of having to give up their powers to defeat Him.

The former defender retired from the game in 2009, but has since not returned in any capacity.
The 44-year-old though, has insisted that could be persuaded to come back to the Rossoneri.
"Galliani? We have been together for 25 years," he told Corriere dello Sport. "I was at Milan before he was.
"I think the experience of an ex-player can be important within a club, especially if that person has first-hand experience of the team.
"I am well aware though, that everyone has their own way of working and they want to surround themselves with people they trust.
"No one has ever tried to contact me.
"Of course I've met and spoke with Galliani over the years. But no, no one has asked me [to return]."

good coffee. Nothing special - just ok))
Have to use a LOT to taste it
Posted by j44lee on Feb 11, 2014
Not sure if it's because it's organic, but I have to double the amount of serving to taste the coffee. Otherwise, it just tastes like diluted tea. Will NOT buy again.
No aroma. Used for Aeropress
Posted by 4773072266121650775 on Mar 31, 2014
Decided to try an organic brand instead of whole bean coffee from a supermarket. When i opened the bag - it doesnt have a rich aroma at all, just plain black coffee. Aeropress makes delicious coffee. This was just regular coffee... Disappointed.

I started working in the gaming industry back in the days when Bill Harrah and Harvey Gross were building empires. How did they do it? Simple, grassroots gaming.
Casino owners need to start thinking about how and what built their empires. It was not the million-dollar-a-year giveaways that benefit the few. It was not the "high tech" penny machines that cost $3 a pop to load up. Anyone with a PC at home can play those silly games for free. And all this ticket in-ticket out credit is nothing like the old ching-cling-cling of real coins falling from a machine.
Not to mention all the benefits taken from casino employees to boost casino owners' bottom line.
Solution: Get rid of the million-dollar giveaways and use that money to pay more jackpots. People come to a casino and like to play and win once in a awhile, not play a computer. Bring back a newer version of the "one arm bandit" single-coin random slot machine.
No other casino in Northern Nevada or California offers grassroots gaming.
One more thing, don't forget the people that helped you build that empire.

November 29, 2015
Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) – The Grand Junction City Council was supposed to have a new member, but the six members of the current council had a tie vote and couldn't come to a decision.
Three council members voted for nominee Duncan McArthur and three wanted Les Miller to be the new member. With a deadlock and no one willing to budge, the council voted to start the entire process over.
"This five people may very well re-apply if they do their expectable we would take their applications if not there could be new people," said Mayor Sam Susuras.
There is a clock running on this process, a state provision requires the vacancy be filled within 60 days of the seat coming open, or it's given to the clerk for a city election.
That gives the current council a few more weeks, until the first part of August to come to a decision on what will happen with the District E seat.

Today is the feast day for the prophet Isaiah in the Orthodox Church, so I figured it might be good to round up a few films that have referenced and depicted him.
Today is the feast day for the prophet Isaiah in the Orthodox Church, so I figured it might be good to round up a few films that have referenced and depicted him.
The National Geographic Channel's adaptation of Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus is now filming in Morocco, and thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we now know who many of the actors are — and they're an eclectic bunch, to be sure.
In keeping with other recent efforts to depict Jesus as something other than a blonde-haired, blue-eyed European, the part of Jesus will be played by Haaz Sleiman, an actor born in Lebanon who is perhaps best-known for playing a Syrian immigrant in Tom McCarthy's The Visitor.
Herod the Great, on the other hand, will be played by Kelsey Grammer, who doesn't seem like a particularly Middle Eastern kind of guy to me. (The fact that he's best known for his comedic roles on Frasier and The Simpsons doesn't help!)
So many movies have been made about Jesus, and so many of those movies have been mediocre, that it's sometimes surprising to realize how many world-class directors have tried to get Jesus movies of their own off the ground but never succeeded. The list includes Carl Theodor Dreyer, who passed away in 1968; Gillo Pontecorvo, who passed away in 2006; and Paul Verhoeven, who published a book about Jesus in 2008 and has talked about making a movie on the subject since the 1980s, but is no closer to actually getting the film made now than he was back then.
You don't often hear about people dying to make movies about Saint Paul, though. But it turns out that one of the best Jesus-movie makers of them all — Pier Paolo Pasolini, director of The Gospel According to St Matthew, which incidentally celebrates its 50th anniversary this year — tried to make a movie about the apostle who took Christianity to the Gentiles, and yesterday his screenplay was published in English for the first time ever.
Four years after I first mentioned that a film version of the Langston Hughes musical Black Nativity was in the works — and three months after cameras finally started rolling on the adaptation — we now, at last, have some images from the film, courtesy of USA Today. Alas, all four of the pictures in question seem to be set pretty firmly within the real world, so we'll just have to wait to see the "dream sequence" that re-tells the story of the birth of Jesus. The article that accompanies the new images does describe at least one part of that sequence, though:
[Read more...]
If you've seen as many Jesus movies as I have, then one of the things you cannot help but notice about Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel according to St. Matthew (1964) is its heavy use of close-ups.
Later films about Jesus used their fair share of close-ups, too, of course — partly because many of them were made for television, at a time when the average TV set was still quite small — but Pasolini's film, which was one of the last great Jesus films to be made for the big screen, is particularly intense in this regard.
Alas, there was no Transfiguration in this episode. But there was quite a bit of other stuff that I found interesting, for better and for worse, so here again, as before, are my first impressions.
The pacing, redux. It says something about this show that, when it finally devotes an entire two-hour episode to a single protagonist, it still feels kind of rushed, like it's over far too quickly and we haven't had a chance to really get to know anyone.

I have a real treat for you guys! Or at least...I think its a treat xD a wonderful friend of mine came out to photograph the horses, and sent them to me <3 that means pictures of Honor, Jigsaw, Tempest, Bree, and Kenzie! Before you see these pictures, let me give a disclaimer that Kenzie (The thoroughbred filly) is very, very sick, severely underweight, and in the middle of rehabilitation with great veterinary care and lots of hugs, so please do not think that we are not taking care of her. Also know that you might just die of cute. My little mule is so darned ugly that she's cute <3
First are pictures of Bree. You guys may remember her from back about a year ago when she was brought in as a rescue. Here she is now under saddle and doing beautifully! She still has a ways to go after overcoming severe ulcers among other issues, but I'm pretty excited about her.
For reference, a picture of her when we got her (she's on the left)
Honor and Jigsaw investigating the bucket. They're 3 and 4 months old.
Waths that?
WOOLYMAMMOTH <3 or at least, that's what my boss calls her xD I think it fits. You can kiiiindof see where the vet had to shave her shoulder in this pic, but its grown back REALLY fast, which is weird O_o I'm starting to wonder whats in her mama's milk!
Almost doing the splits when she got startled xD
Her facial hair bothers me xD
'This hay stuff is worthless >.> I demand more milk'
'whats in there?!'
'Just what I thought. Alien milk.'

Best & Worst Dressed: The 45th NAACP Image Awards
1. Best & Worst Dressed: The 45th NAACP Image Awards
From Kerry Washington's growing baby bump, to Arsenio Hall's epic photobomb--the red carpet for the 45th Annual NAACP Image Awards was such a stylish sight to see. Our favorite starlets called on the best of the best to parade down the carpet tonight. Check out who rocked the red carpet, and who--maybe should have hired (or fired) a stylist.
2. Lupita Nyong'o
BEST! I am really a fan of Lupita--even with that very unfortunate middle part.
3. Naomie Harris
BEST! Naomie wins best dressed in my book. This champagne lace Givenchy gown is walking the red carpet for her.
4. Tika Sumpter
UNDECIDED! I do love this lingerie look but more for a movie premiere or a night out with the boo.
5. Brandy
BEST! This black number looks beautiful on Brandy. It's simple, but it's also form-fitting and looks comfortable.
6. Idris Elba
BEST! Do we really have to say anything else?
7. Tatyana Ali
WORST! While an awards show is enough to wear a silver gown, not every silver gown needs to be worn. Tatyana usually looks very polished, but this silver gown with the black fabric in the middle doesn't work. At all.
8. Kerry Washington
WORST! Kerry is usually on point when it comes to her look, but this gown isn't flattering enough for her or her bun in the oven. The color is soft, but the dress looks like a pile of sheets.
9. Regina Hall
BEST! Regina worked this dress from the window to the wall! We can't get enough of the cut out in the front and that loose tale that looks beautiful in the back. Regina stepped it up!
10. Chandra Wilson
WORST! All-black is a safe bet for most, but when you add unique detailing, it can look messy. The detailing on this outfit isn't easy on the eyes.
11. Suki Avery
WORST! We understand why many people choose to layer, but never layer a gown. Although, I'm not sure if this is a complete gown or a strapless dress with a silver blouse?
12. Jennia Fredrique
BEST! I'm here for fashion risky, and trust me, this is risky! The loose detailing on the bottom and low-cut back is dramatic, which is perfect for an award ceremony!
13. China Anne McClain
BEST! China is bringing in the sunshine. The yellow looks radiant against her complexion and the dress is mature, without making her look too old.
14. Jessica Oyelowo and David Oyelowo
BEST! These two look great. The detailing on the front of Jessica's dress is great and David looks quite dapper in this pale grey number.
15. Elise Neal
WORST! The red is a great color choice, but the length of that split? Not so much. Anything more than an inch above the knee can be dangerous.
16. Elise Neal and Arsenio Hall
BEST! Arsenio looks like classic Arsenio in his suit. Hey, if a formula works, why change it?
17. Archie Panjabi
UNDECIDED! This blue number is beautiful on Archie. But, we're not feeling how transparent the dress is. It looks a little too similar to lingerie.
18. Katie Lowes
UNDECIDED! Katie isn't Quinn! This dress is absolutely beautiful, but I wanted to see her add a little more pizazz for this simple black piece. The red lip is nice, but a statement necklace would've made the outfit a little more dressy.
19. Guillermo Diaz
WORST! This could've been a great moment to see Guillermo outside of his role as Huck. But, those wrinkles on his pants ruin the entire look. Not only that, he also has his hands in his pockets. No, Huck!
20. Melissa Grimmond
WORST! This dress is absolutely perfect..for prom. Melissa is too gorgeous for this and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other gold dresses she could've chosen from.
21. Sidra Smith
WORST! This is way too much going on, Sidra. The busy print is already enough to keep your eyes on the dress. But, that black detailing on the neck and down the front makes the dress frumpy. This isn't working.
22. Darby Stanchfield
BEST! Yessss, Darby! If you're going to have a light complexion similar to her, you can't go wrong with a bold color. This green looks like a jewel and makes her skin and hair look lovely!
23. Beverly Bond
UNDECIDED! The detailing on Beverly's dress is a lovely touch, but I'm not so sure about the neck piece. It could've been removed from it completely.
24. Gayle King
BEST! Gayle looks nothing short of classy in this silver number. It's a great color for her complexion and she's working that pose!
25. Rolonda Watts
WORST! An all-white suit on a woman never goes out of style, but it shouldn't make you appear shorter. Rolonda clearly had the right idea, but this suit makes her look way too tiny for this outfit.
26. Terrence Howard and Miranda Howard
WORST! Terrence looks great in his dark blue suit, but that see-through material on the neck of Mrs. Howard's dress is not the business! The dress would've looked more decent without that or the awkward layer at the front of her dress. Too much!
27. Shvona Lavette
UNDECIDED! While the dress itself has a delicate feminine quality about it -- from the A-line bottom to the see-through top -- we're not too sure about how this is fitting, Shvona. If the dress had a belt to complete the look, it may have given her a nice svelte look.
28. Debra L. Lee
BEST! Debra pulls the stops to look like the main boss she is! This sleek black number is the perfect cut and shape for her frame. Werk, Ms. Lee!
29. Ben Vereen
WORST! We don't mean to be disrespectful or anything, but this suit seems a little outdated, Ben. We're here for you and the confidence you have in this suit (you definitely need it to wear this one), but all-white is not the way to go this time around.
30. Nia Long
WORST! Nia is absolutely gorgeous, but this green number makes her look like she's swimming in fabric. A more tailored fit on this dress would've been the trick.
31. Tyrese Gibson
BEST! Tyrese illustrates the art of wearing a form-fitting suit with a mega-watt smile!
32. Nia Long and Idris Elba
UNDECIDED! While Idris looks nothing short of handsome, Nia is not looking too put together in this photo. We would've liked to have seen her in a sleeker look.
33. Wendy Raquel Robinson
BEST! Wendy looks stunning in this blue gown! We see those lovely curves!
34. Tyler Perry
UNDECIDED! While the black-and-blue combo is a classic statement on Tyler, I'm unsure of the fit. Maybe, keeping the button unopen would've been better?
35. Michael Ealy
BEST! Honestly, Michael can do no wrong in our eyes. This all-black tux looks sharp and classy on him. Perfect for this occasion.

Law enforcement remembers fallen Loudon County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Scott
Since March 12, 2004, Blount County Sheriff James Berrong always takes Loudon County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Tony Aiken's phone calls.
It was on that day that Loudon County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Michael Scott was shot to death by teenager Michael Harvey while responding to a domestic violence call at the teen's parent's home overlooking Fort Loudoun Lake near the Knox-Loudon county line.
Personnel from Blount, Knox, Roane and Wilson County sheriff's offices, Knoxville, Alcoa Loudon and Lenoir City police departments sent personnel to assist the Loudon County Sheriff's Office in what became a 30-hour standoff that ended when deputies found the boy inside with a fatal, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"I get chill bumps speaking of that day," Berrong said. "I was coming to work that morning and got a call from Chief Deputy Tony Aikins from Loudon County Sheriff's Office and he told me what was going on and that they needed help.
"We assembled our SWAT team and went down there and stayed with them all the way through the end. It was such a sad situation."
A ceremony to remember Scott is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday at a memorial monnument at the Loudon County Justice Center.
Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider said that morning that E—911 received a call in regards to a juvenile that was rebellious with his mother because she was making him ride the bus instead of driving to school.
"He hit her in the head with a fence post," Guider said. "She went to a neighbor's house and called 9-1-1."
Guider said that Scott normally worked as a court officer but also patrolled when he didn't have court, which was the case that morning. Scott was the closest to the residence where the domestic disturbance was reported and arrived first, the sheriff said.
"You would never believe he would step out of his car and be exposed to what he was exposed to," Guider said of the high-powered rifle the teen used to shoot him four times in the torso.
"I had two more deputies en route and they took cover and there was a shootout for a while and it was a volley of gunfire for several hours."
Guider said several law enforcement agencies responded with their special weapons and tactics teams (SWAT), and they ended up in a standoff.
When Berrong arrived on the scene on a small road in front of a house where the teen was hiding, he saw a number of law enforcement vehicles and the Blount County Sheriff's Office SWAT team.
Minutes later, the personnel from the different law enforcement agencies became involved in "firefight" with the young man who was shooting at them from inside the home.
"It was a such an emotional situation to see a young deputy that was fatally wounded and the process was obviously stressful and mentally and physically exhausting," he said. "You would be crying one minute and trying to make a decision the next."
Guider said personnel used a robot at different times to see what was going on inside the home, but it somehow became disabled. As the standoff stretched into the late night and early morning hours, personnel used infrared flares to determine where the teen might be hiding in the house.
"It was a chilly, chilly evening and night. We ended up using tear gas as well to no avail," he said. "We made a move at about 30 hours later because there was no contact with the young man, so we decided to enter the home."
Once inside, the deputies and officers found the teenager had shot himself to death.
"It was very exhausting over those hours," he said.
But the ordeal wasn't over as Guider then had to bury his deputy and console a young widow who was expecting.
The sheriff said that Jason and Joni Scott were very much in love and expecting their first child the day the deputy was gunned down.
"Their baby was born 11 days after he was killed," he said. "That little girl will be 10 in a few days. It was just a very, very sad and emotional day."
The sheriff said the incident made his department go back and enhance its training and how it responds calls.
"These type things we hope never ever occur again," he said. "We've got to be on our "A" game when we respond to certain calls, especially those of a domestic nature.
And while it can sometimes be easy to ignore a phone call, Berrong said he always takes the call when it is Aikens.
"When Chief Aikens calls me to this day, I answer it. I always think about that situation in case another situation like it arises," he said.
