City seeks to perform a parking balancing act
Other communities weigh in on solutions for resident and business parking
Sunday, October 23, 2011
Jefferson City is looking to start an official downtown resident parking program to accommodate the needs of residents in the area, and it's not the only city that has struggled to find a balance between residents and businesses.
As the City Council reviews the proposed ordinance for the program, many members have said they have received calls from business owners who are dissatisfied with the proposal and are afraid it will negatively impact their businesses.
But what have other communities done to try to strike that near impossible balance between businesses and residents when it comes to parking needs?
Richard Sheets, deputy director of the Missouri Municipal League, said it's a problem that's becoming much more common in communities across the state.
"For a long time ... a lot of cities prohibited residents in downtown; that's really changing," Sheets said. "That is something that cities are certainly struggling with."
Sheets said cities across the state have found solutions through various parking requirements.

Great what with Asda rearing it`s butt ugly head on Hall Road and some more traffic from another major venue also on Hall Road did the planners not consider at least 1 of them not viable......er no they waited for the public to digest what asda be the worst news for people in the area that they can now have another badly UNeeded supermarket within 2 miles of another 2 supermarkets!!.Traffic is going to be a nightmare and possibly will change the lives of people in the immediate area of Hall as getting in and out in a car is going to be a timed event......Unbelieveable that sane people make these decisions

Hydrofracking and its impact on the local area will be the focus of an Earth Day talk Friday, April 19, at Keuka College.
David F. Slottje and Helen H. Slottje, co-founders of Community Environmental Defense Council Inc. (CEDC), an environmental law firm, will speak on "Fighting Fracking: A View from the Trenches." at 3:30 p.m. in Jephson Science Center 104. It is free and open to the public.
According to Kasey Klingensmith, professor of biology, law firms across the state say local governments can't stop fracking in New York because state law takes away local authority to enact laws relating to the regulation of the gas industry.
"But Helen and David argued that banning drilling was not the same as regulating it," said Klingensmith. "They developed and advanced the thesis that New York municipalities may utilize local land use authority. This allows them to enact laws prohibiting gas drilling and associated activities outright. It also provides protective laws—which are not laws relating to the regulation of the gas industry."
For more than three years, the Slottjes have crisscrossed the state, teaching towns that they can enact laws to keep drilling out, and drafting those laws at no charge.
"Following CEDC's lead, nearly 150 municipalities have passed either a ban or moratorium on gas drilling," said Klingensmith. "CEDC's work has energized the anti-fracking movement, brought hope to local residents, empowered local governments, and continues to send Albany politicians a clear message that New York will not be fracked."
Helen Slottje received a bachelor's degree in economics with honors from the College of the Holy Cross and received her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. studied at Harvard Law School from 1990 to 1991.
David Slottje graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse University, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He received his law degree from Emory University.
Forty-nine faculty and staff members were recognized for their service and dedication to Keuka College at Community Day Aug. 20.

The controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) will be the focus of two presentations this week at Keuka College.
Professor of Biology Kasey Klingensmith, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Andrew Robak, and Peter Gamba, founding member of the Committee to Preserve the Finger Lakes, will discuss the issue Wednesday, April 20, from 6-7 p.m. in Hegeman 109.
The anti-hydrofracking documentary All Fracked Up will be screened Thursday, April 21 from 6-9 p.m. in Hegeman 109. Filmmakers Jeff and Jodi Andrysick will be on hand to answer questions.
Both events, sponsored by the Chemistry Club, are free and open to the public.
The term hydrofracking describes the process by which millions of gallons of a highly pressurized mixture of sand, water, and chemicals are pumped horizontally into underground shale deposits to either create new fractures in the rock or expand existing cracks to access natural gas deposits and bring the gas to the surface.
Energy companies and environmentalists agree that natural gas will help slow climate change because it burns more cleanly than coal or oil and using it will help wean the country from its dependency on other countries for oil. However, considerable controversy surrounds the current implementation of hydraulic fracturing technology in the United States, including upstate New York.
That is because environmental safety and health concerns have emerged and are being debated at the state and national levels.
This year has been deja vu all over again for Professor of Biology Jim White. When White first arrived on the Keuka College campus in 1962, the Millspaugh building was brand-new, and faculty members were still unpacking boxes, searching for equipment and teaching materials.
Now, 38 years later, with the $3.1 million renovation of the Millspaugh Science Center recently completed, faculty members are again unpacking boxes.White, along with Professor of Chemistry Gary Hickernell and Associate Professor of Biology Tom Dickinson, worked directly with the architectural firm, SWBR Architects of Rochester, N.Y. , and LeChase Construction, also of Rochester, to plan the Millspaugh renovation. He also supervised the move and personally carried much of the lab equipment back and forth.
"He was a human dynamo," said President Joseph Burke. "His performance during this renovation will be long remembered by faculty and students."
"He's the father of this building," said Professor of Biology Joan Magnusen, adding
that White has been known to crawl up into the ceiling to repair ductwork himself. "Not
only does Jim decide what needs to be done, but he does it."
"He's always been the essence of Millspaugh," agreed Kathleen Dougherty, manager of prospect research, and a 1997 Keuka College graduate with a bachelor's degree in a student-initiated major in biological illustration and a minor in chemistry. "He has always felt responsible for the building."
"He has a tremendous role in keeping the place up," said Hickernell.
Of course, White's role at Keuka extends far beyond building maintenance
and planning. White, who teaches Anatomy and Physiology and co-teaches Organisms in
the Environment with Assistant Professor of Biology Kasey Klingensmith, " is one
of the most knowledgeable in his field that I have come upon," Magnusen said.
"He knows seven terms for every structure and can explain the derivation
of every term." White is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology, she said, adding that "his patience makes him willing to state things over and over."
"He'll do anything he can for the students," Hickernell said. Magnusen said that when she came to Keuka for her initial interview before being offered a faculty position, she met with
students and asked them what courses they liked most to take. The answer: "Anything Jim White teaches."
"He's got a mind like a steel trap. He knows faculty and students going way back and remembers them," Hickernell said.
"He has an enormous capacity for remembering details," Magnusen agreed. "Much of the lore of this division is in Jim's head."
In fact, White can produce a photograph of the science majors in the Class of 1964 and describe what kind of student each one was at the time, and what she went on to do after graduation. White grew up in Punxsutawney, a small town in rural Pennsylvania. He from Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., and a Ph.D. in zoology from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. While in graduate school, he met and married his wife, Cynthia. After
spending a year teaching at Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, White then joined the Keuka faculty. Part of what attracted him to Keuka College was the location.
"By training, I'm a vertebrate ecologist, so l wanted to be out in a rural area where I could do ecological work, and it was closer to our families," he explained.
What made him stay was the community atmosphere.
"I enjoyed the place. My wife and I decided this would be a good place to raise a family," said White, whose daughters Wendy and Anne were born in 1965 and 1967. "Of the faculty here most of them were very much dedicated to the institution," White said, adding that most faculty members lived close to campus. " It was a whole community. There were a lot more social events."
White specifically recalls that when the Lightner Library was built in 1972, each faculty and staff member pitched in to carry a box of books from the former Strong Library to the new building. Being a part of that community often meant becoming involved in extracurricular activities. White served as a faculty representative on the Student Senate and was Keuka Park fire chief off an on from 1968 to 1993.
"We passed it back and forth," he said, adding that he's still an adviser to the Keuka Park Fire Department. White served as chair of the biology department for almost 30 years
before passing the baton to Hickernell in 1997. Magnusen then became chair in 1999.
Having gone from a single-sex atmosphere at Rutgers University to teaching at the coeducational Parsons College, White said he enjoyed returning to a single-sex environment when he first arrived at Keuka.
"I enjoyed working with the young women," he said. "They were all a pretty dedicated group. They didn't all have TVs, all these other things that distract people from doing their work." white recalled that students would study in the Millspaugh building at night, and, because there was no real athletic facility at the time, they would often gather and do aerobic exercises in the hallways. While the turbulent political climate of the 1960s had some impact on the College, it did little to distract students from their real purpose.
"They had some marches and demonstrations, but that was a minor part of what was going on,"White said. "The attitude wasn't anti-establishment at that point. They were protesting politically, but not what was going on at the College. They were here to get their education."
In the 38 years he's been at Keuka College, much has changed, not only in student life and politics, but also within the realm of science. In particular, White noted the miniaturization of scientific instrumentation. "Microscopes have many more gadgets," he said, adding that " one of the difficulties at a place like Keuka is trying to keep up with the changes in instrumentation."
Another change has been in the focus on environmental issues. "They were still doing nuclear tests when I first came here," White said, but since the first Earth Day was held in
1970, the public has become more environmentally conscious.
"That's when they began to push public awareness," he said. But one thing hasn't changed:
Jim White's commitment to the College. "He's been an anchor throughout
the time he's been here," Magnusen said. "He gives–and has given–not just
his mind but his heart and soul to this division."

Now that his stoic role as Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger and the upcoming The Avengers has successfully washed the taste of Chris Evans' failed early career attempts at being the wise-cracking comedic actor out of my mouth, it's time to start figuring out what he's going to do next. And according to a report from Variety, it sounds like he's being pretty wise in taking his next step.
Apparently the handsome young fella is negotiating to star in a movie called Snow Piercer, which is going to be the first English language feature from The Host and Mother director Joon-ho Bong. For those of you who don't usually watch foreign films, Joon-ho Bong makes some awesome movies, so this is a project that should be taken seriously; even if the title and premise, that of a group of people trying to travel by train on an ice-covered world, sound a little lame.
Upping the ante even further on this film is the fact that Joon-ho co-wrote it with Chan-wook Park (Oldboy), who will also produce. I can see those of you who don't like to watch foreign films looking at me funny again, but rest assured, Chan-wook Park is another one of those guys who makes really awesome movies. He'll be making his domestic debut soon with a movie called Stoker that's starring Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska, so we'll all be on the same page soon. The same awesome page.

I am going to do everything the right way,no short cuts ,no lazy way out of doing things,going to be on time and have a stunning display despite all the weather and slugs throw at me.Going to be kind to all wildlife even if they wreck my displays and eat everything in sight,yes I am going to be a reformed gardener with tools at the ready clean and tidy and not stopping for too many cuppas and chocie biscuits,watch out Monty!
Are you going to be kind to slugs and snails?
Gosh, flowering rose, do you think you'll manage all that? Why don't you just do one of them? I'd never keep it up. I could never keep tools in order like Monty's. I'm always amazed when they show his shed with all those neat rows of secateurs etc. I can't usually find mine! And I'm certainly not going to be kind to slugs and snails. I always start the New Year intending to keep the veg garden hoed and weeded, but as I prefer being in the flower garden the veg weeds tend to creep up when I'm not looking, so now I use weed supressing fabric where possible. Useless with a hoe anyway, keep hoeing up the young plants. Good luck with your plans!
Stopping for lots of cuppas to survey the estate has surly got to be an essential part of gardening, flowering rose, I've heard gardens don't thrive so well without these comfort breaks.
My New Year resolutions are to not over crowd the GH with to many plants. Remember to sow veg seeds regularly and not give up by June. Have a mixed strawberry bed and try growing pineberries again from seed, how difficult can it be.
This is one of my new year's resolutions.....to join GW and learn how to do things properly rather than 'plant and hope'. That said, I've had some pretty lovely results with the P&H approach! I've got a new veg garden ready to go - wish me luck!
Happy New Year
Caroline72, Good luck with your new veg. garden. The plant and hope system often works 'cos you are actually doing the right thing. On the other hand, I have had failures over and over again because the weather wasn't favourable and the seed packet didn't explain that certain plants really need a lot of warmth/sun/water etc even though I thought I had followed all the instructions.
Happy New Year to you too
If you listen to Monty he is always telling of his mistakes etc i think resolution to b more +ve and see the up side of every cloud x
Think my gardening resolution will be to move my seedlings on a lot quicker and maybe not to sow too many Although I think I will try and stick to the first
Don't sow too thickly would be a good resolution for me. Plus don't prick out and grow on every seedling that germinates or I'll never keep up with the potting on, watering and planting out even if there was a space for it all.
To not buy any plants in 2013...I spend far too much and cannot resist. I will resist in 2013, honestly
nutcutlet, I know that feeling.
blairs- do you grow from seed? It's loads cheaper but comes with additional dangers
blairs... but there are loads of perennial plants half price at the garden centres... dangerous! 2 more rose bushes for me
Resolution to take a photo my garden based on first day of month and use it as avatar for that month. Will keep my hand in on saving etc , and will be good to look back on as will save them in a file with a bit of luck
Also to make sure I keep labels up to date, last year had some plants muddled up with colours, wrong when they flowered.
My New Year's Resolution is the same as the last twenty have been - just to enjoy it all. No need to worry about space for the children to play or prickly plants or even whether they are poisonous. I can experiment to my heart's content.
Lovely to read all your resolutions for 2013 but I think happymarion takes first prize....the rest of you are excellent runners up tho'
I have the seed packets from last year on hand and the new seed catalogues but somehow with these sodden days and early evenings I cannot quite get motivated yet. Does anyone else have this problem?
I found the discount pffered by some firms was my motivation just before Christmas
I agree Happymarion seems to have the right balance
I will echo your sentiment Marion, lets enjoy our gardens though can we have more sun this time around please? ! One resolution I have is to thin the apples on my trees so that I have better sized fruit. I find this very difficult.
daydaisy, why do you find it difficult to thin the apples on your trees? I fought against it for a while then decided that if the powers that be say it is a good thing to do I had better do it!
Sam, sounds lovely what you plan to do. I agree fallen leaves are rather a waste of energy unless they are on a path in which case I do try to clear them as I don't want to fall over!

Man accused of driving truck into WMAR charged with attempted murder
The man police say rammed a stolen truck into the WMAR-TV station Tuesday told police he believes he is the reincarnation of King Tut and Jesus Christ, according to charging documents filed Wednesday in Baltimore County District Court.
Vladimir Mehul Baptiste, 27, of the 1700 block of White Oak Road, is charged with three counts of attempted second-degree murder, three counts of first-degree assault, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and related burglary and theft charges, according to online court records.
He was being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center in lieu of $750,000 bail.
According to court documents, Baptiste, who posted several notes directed at police and media in the room he was hiding in inside the station, told police he lives in a world of "multiverses" where bad things happen to people and disappear because they are not real.
Baptiste cited the missing Malaysian airplane and the kidnapping of school girls in Nigeria as examples of multiverses that never actually happened, police wrote in charging documents.
Baptiste told police he woke up and decided he was going to "expose the multiverse world." He walked from his home to the area of I-695 and York Road and stole a truck belonging to Greenskeeper Environmental LLC, then headed toward WMAR-TV.
"Baptiste stated he saw an opportunity to 'expose the multiverses' and stated by smashing the truck into WMAR-TV he could 'close the multiverse' that WMAR-TV represented," documents state.
When asked why he targeted WMAR-TV, Baptiste told police he wanted to expose his parents because they are "running the multiverses" and he didn't intend to hurt anyone.

Hostess Prepares to Liquidate, Taxpayers Await Bill
TheStreet) - Late on Wednesday afternoon a New York court approved Hostess Brands plan to wind down operations after 82-year old snacks maker was unable to reach a new labor agreement with its unionized workers that could have staved off the company's liquidation, initially filed on Friday.After a court mandated mediation between Hostess and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union fell through late on Tuesday, a Wednesday ruling by Judge Robert D. Drain of the Southern District of New York returns the company to a 'liquidation scenario,' which will put the company's assets up for sale and cost 15,000 workers their job on the eve of Thanksgiving. The wind down may also put millions of dollars in pension obligations on the government's books. While job losses and plant closings are the worst part of Hostess Brands demise - company CEO Gregory Rayburn said in court 15,000 workers will be fired today and a further 3,200 workers will be retained to maintain plant as asset sales loom -- the company's failure may raise new questions as to whether private equity investors are using bankruptcy courts to extract investments at the expense of taxpayers. When Hostess filed its liquidation plan the company also said it would terminate its single and multi-employer pension plans. Judge Drain's approval of Hostess's liquidation on Wednesday means thousands of employee pension plans are going to fall into the hands of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, a struggling federal agency that said on Friday its financial woes may force it to draw taxpayer support. As part of Hostess Brands liquidation filing, the company said it would terminate its pension, with roughly 2,300 employees in the company's single-employer plan falling under PBGC's guaranty, according to an agency statement. The company's larger multi-employer plan may also get some PBGC support, while potentially not needing a full guarantee because losses could be mutualized. On Monday, TheStreet detailed how private equity investors may be using the PBGC's pension guarantees to recover on losing investments or create for bargain basement buys. Hostess' liquidation -- just like the recent bankruptcies of well known companies like Friendly's Ice Cream and Eddie Bauer -- raises the prospect that sophisticated private equity and distressed debt hedge fund investors are using courts to cast off unwanted pensions on U.S. taxpayers and put a losing investment back on the track. Consider that subsequent with Hostess's liquidation plans, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation disclosed on Friday that its pension plan insurance deficit grew to a record $34 billion this year, the biggest shortfall in the federal agency's history. PBGC guarantees employee pension plans after a company goes belly up, securing the retirement of roughly 43 million U.S. workers. While PBGC doesn't take government money directly - it's funded by way of insurance premiums and portfolio returns - the agency's head said on Friday that a growing deficit raises the prospect of taxpayer support. In a statement released with the agency's bleak outlook, PBGC Director Joshua Gotbaum attributed the plan's shortfall on an inability to set premiums for member companies and noted that the agency's deficit may put taxpayers at risk for the first time in its 38-year history. "PBGC may face for the first time the need for taxpayer funds," Gotbaum said on Friday. As taxpayers brace for a prospective bailout of PBGC -- which may soon include Hostess Brands a $50 million single employer plan shortfall - scores of private equity investors and corporations are reportedly lining up to pick over the assets of Hostess, the maker of consumer fattening favorites such as Ho Hos and Twinkies. A Monday report from Fortune Magazine indicates private equity firm Sun Capital might bid on Hostess Brands as a going concern. However, the report doesn't specify how pension obligations would be dealt with following the Friday termination of employee plans. Also on Monday, Flowers Foods (FLO - Get Report) increased its line of credit, in a move analysts speculated might pave the way for a bid on some Hostess assets. Pabst Blue Ribbon owner C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. is also rumored as an interested party, among prospective reported bidders for Hostess or its individual brands that includes ConAgra Foods (CAG - Get Report) and Mexico's Grupo Bimbo. Investment bank Perella Weinberg will be running the sale of Hostess's individual brands, according to a press release from the company, while FTI consulting will coordinate sales of Hostess Brands assets, such as its 33 bakeries and 565 distribution centers. Joshua Scherer of Perella Weinberg said at a bankruptcy hearing Hostess Brands may generate roughly $1 billion from asset sales, highlighting "intense competition" for the company's individual brands.Updated to reflect approval of Hostess Brands liquidation NEW YORK (

Craig's Kidman lustDaniel Craig says Nicole Kidman turns him on.
The James Bond actor, who stars alongside Kidman in new films 'The Invasion' and 'The Golden Compass', admits he finds the Australian actress very attractive.
In an interview with US magazine W, Craig said: "She turns me on. Not in a sordid, horrible way - well, come to think of it!"
The 37-year-old also claims he and Kidman, 38, had great chemistry when they worked together on the screen adaptation of Philip Pullman's best-selling book 'The Golden Compass'.
It seems the admiration isn't one-sided.
Kidman - who has two adopted children, Conor and Isabella, with ex husband Tom Cruise - asked Craig for his autograph shortly after she first met him when he was confirmed as the new Bond.
A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "At first it seemed like she was just teasing him. Then she explained she really did want it because her son Conor is a massive Bond fan. I think it was probably the first autograph he ever signed as 007."
After working together, Kidman praised Craig, describing the British star as "an actor's actor".

Student voices are missing from gun safety report
June 27, 2011 11:00 am by Frances Dinkelspiel
Some significant voices are missing in the 11-page report the Ad Hoc Safety Committee prepared on how to reduce guns in Berkeley high schools: that of the students.
While two Berkeley High students sat on the committee — at least until the end of the academic year — efforts to find out and understand why students brought guns into school did not go far.
Susan Craig, the director of student services for the Berkeley Unified School District, interviewed almost all of the six Berkeley students who were caught with guns and asked them why they brought weapons on campus. None of them were particularly forthcoming about their reasons, she told the safety committee.
The district also enlisted the aid of Pastor Michael McBride of BOCA, a faith-based action committee, to hold focus groups with students to discuss guns on campus. While those conversations happened, McBride did not provide a summary of those discussions to the committee, despite repeated phone calls asking for the information by Craig and Superintendent Bill Huyett.
McBride was not paid for his efforts, but in late May the school district approved a $15,0000 contract with Lifelines to Healing, an anti-violence mentoring program promoted by BOCA. (Note 7/1/11: McBride said BOCA will not benefit financially from this contract and is in fact, donating $10,000 to the overall project.)
A survey conducted by the safety consultant Al Bahn of Edu-Safe Associates only garnered one student response. … Continue reading »

MIAMI (AP) _ A boater will be honored today for racing to the
scene of a jumbo jet crash 35 years ago in the Everglades.
Eastern Airlines Flight 401 crashed on December 29th, 1972, in
west Miami-Dade County. Robert Marquis was about ten miles away in
his airboat when he saw an orange flash of fire in the moonless
Marquis and a friend raced to the scene, where they saved
several of the plane's passengers from drowning. The light on
Marquis' helmet helped direct rescue helicopters to the remote
crash site.
The National Air Disaster Alliance/Foundation today will give
Marquis a humanitarian award for being the first to respond to the
crash. The friend who had accompanied Marquis has since died.
Of the 176 people on board, 101 were killed in the crash.

The ELCA Church Council amended a continuing resolution in the constitution to reflect the Board of Pensions' name change to Portico Benefit Services. Board trustees unanimously approved the switch at their November meeting.
Under the name of Portico Benefit Services, the Minneapolis-based ministry will continue to provide health, retirement, disability and survivor benefits and related services for 50,000 active and retired ELCA pastors, rostered laity, lay employees and their families.
The new name is grounded in Scripture. Jesus taught in the portico of Solomon's temple (John 10:22-28). Portico references can also be found in Acts 3 and 5.

To Do
- Ensure we are capturing all of the ways to create headings, lists, tables
- Determine whether we need to address pagination (e.g. nroff / troff output for man pages)
- Do we need to include a variant of T4 table formatting for 1.3.2 (columnar output from things like 'ls')?
- Do we need a few Bypass Blocks techniques, covering things like PgDn and searching to skip over repeated headers within a set of man pages?
- Do we need to develop a technique for 3.1.1 language of page? (presumption of same as OS?)
- Do we need techniques for label relationships (e.g. IBM 3270 terminal apps?)
- Do we need techniques that speak to 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value?

I wouldn't recommend Timber if you are playing at 1250 or over, but for new ELO players with small budgets and small collections, Timber is an affordable and effective way to fill a 5* slot in the right clan. A well made budget preset using Timber can easily get you to 1200 ELO. Timber is underestimated, misunderstood, funloving and full of anger!
Here are some affordable Junkz+Timber presets that can cross 1200 easily:
Cloud Atlas Techno mix [total cost 14k] : http://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=2517918&list
Cloud Atlas Techno mix (bootleg) [total cost 13k]: http://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=2517921&list
(wow! the idea of the 2nd preset was to save some money by replacing Qubik with Eebiza but wow Eebiza has gone up so much!)
I may also post some other budget Timber presets later.

Why I'm giving up on GPS devices.
Within about a mile, or a kilometer, or hectare, or whatever they call it here, I was lost, or at least the world had failed to present itself to me in a manner that could be called transparent. Perhaps it was the sun: It hung in the northern part of the sky. Because down is up here, spring is autumn, south is north, and Orion with the belt and sword in the night sky is standing on his head.
Sydney quickly revealed itself as a place where all street names are provisional—you can be driving on Williams Street and discover that it has become Park Street on a whim. Now, if I had GPS, I wouldn't have learned this about Sydney so quickly. Nor would I have had the nice interaction with the locals that I enjoyed when, at an intersection, I begged a cabbie for directions.
Fortunately it was an older cabbie who actually knew how to find such strange Sydney thoroughfares as the Eastern Distributor. The younger cabbies, I was later informed (during a rare trip in a taxi myself) by a veteran hack from Lebanon, use GPS—and never learn the city.
"No brain! They have GPS!" he said, smacking the dashboard to denote where hateful gadget gets mounted.
I had brain. Also a lot of fear. The novice driver in Australia must learn to overcome the sense of being seconds from death. Cars bear down on you from unlikely angles, the anxiousness of the moment heightened when you try to signal a turn and merely activate the wipers.
The newspapers are filled with stories of traffic accidents. A fatal accident is invariably referred to as a "horror crash." My goal was to ensure that if I got in an accident, it would be an unhappy crash but not a horror crash or a gut-wrenching revulsion crash.
I rented cars in four cities: Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Alice Springs. Australia is a lovely place: the people are the friendliest on the planet, the accents are delightful. The kangaroos are numerous and, I found, delicious—pair with mashed potatoes, beetroot, and a big cabernet.
I rarely mourned the lack of GPS because I spent a lot of time in the countryside, which is essentially uninhabited and where one is pleased to be on any road whatsoever. There are only about four or five roads on the entire continent, including the Stuart Highway and the Sturt Highway. There are dirt roads—"tracks," they call them, accurately—that go for 1,000 miles across the bush. When you pull out of the Alice Springs airport, a road sign says, "Alice Springs 10" and "Darwin 1502." Another sign says simply, "Adelaide," with an arrow, failing to note that the distance to Adelaide is about 4 percent of the circumference of the planet, by my calculation.
The danger here isn't that you'd get lost but rather that you'd venture too far out-bush, as they say, and then run out of gas. You'd know exactly where you were—and that you were doomed. Eventually the authorities would find your dingo-gnawed bones.
As far as the quality of my driving in Oz, I can report that when I was pulled over by police, I got off with a warning. In Margaret River, which is south of Perth, I overshot my hotel, got flustered, ritually hit the wipers instead of the blinker, and finally lurched into a housing complex, at which point the flashing lights appeared in the rearview mirror.
"You committed three violations," the officer told me. "You drove on the wrong side of the road, you didn't use your turn signal, and you weren't wearing a seat belt."
"I was wearing a seat belt!" I protested. I felt a bit chuffed from having been accused, in effect, of driving recklessly, when I was merely driving badly.
Now, with GPS, I probably wouldn't have overshot the hotel—the GPS lady would have told me exactly when to turn and in what direction. But it turned out I didn't really need it, because everything worked out fine—the cop let me go. He probably felt sorry for me because I didn't have any GPS to guide me. You never know.
As I write, I have just a few more days in-country before heading home, and it's possible that I've racked up dozens of speeding tickets from the hidden cameras and am, as we speak, wanted by authorities. I may be on the lam, in other words. An outlaw. But I have seen the country my way without any GPS lady to guide me. Today I'll head out into the bush west of Alice Springs and have a bit of a walkabout. I'll drive back before it gets dark and the 'roos get thick around the roadways. And I'll be careful, with hands on the wheel at 10 and 2.
Or maybe here it's 2 and 10.

FSFE and FFII to Radio Station Winners: "rOGG on"
Radio Free Deutschland: For Document Freedom Day, March 31 2010, a couple of European radio stations were granted awards for using open standards.
The radio stations Deutschlandradio and Radio Orange received the awards from the Free Software Foundation Europe and Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure because they transmitted over the Internet in the Ogg Vorbis media container format. The free Radio Orange 94.0 in Vienna and dradio.de (Deutschlandfunk in Cologne and Deutschlandradio Kultur in Berlin) were honored with the awards (and a cake) the afternoon of March 31 under the slogan "rOGG on!" (see Gallery).
"We feel more honored by this award than by a Grimme Award," said the online editor of Deutschlandradio, Egbert Meyer, at the cake cutting in Berlin. Matthias Kirschner of the FSFE congratulated the radio station for its pioneering role: "Since 2006 anyone with free software can receive the Ogg Vorbis live-streams from Deutschlandradio without a problem." Stephan Uhlmann of the FFII board of directors added, "Document Freedom Day Prize 2010 honors [the radio stations] for doing it right. With nonpatented audio formats they assure their listeners a freer selection of playback devices and software."
The FFII's commitment to open standards is based on their assertion that patented formats often request licensing fees once there is a dependency on them. "When MP3 first became popular, in 1998 Fraunhofer Institute and Thomson began requesting license fees for the audio format with over a dozen patents," the FFII claims. On their website, dradio.de provides its Ogg streams not only in multiple quality levels for the various bandwidths, but also recommends a variety of playback software, including Linux platforms.

Ownership Marking of Paper-Based Materials
subscribe_url: '/share/sites/Bapu4ruC/preservation.php'
Ownership Marking of Paper-Based Materials
Traditional collecting practices have often included ownership marking of items, such as bookplating or stamping. Two often-cited arguments for ownership marking are that it can help deter theft and establish ownership in the event of theft. Theft, however, occurs regardless of the presence of ownership marks. Therefore, ownership marking primarily for theft deterrence requires careful consideration, especially as the mark should be indelible to be useful in this manner.
Long-practiced options for permanently marking paper-based items include embossing, punching or perforating, and ink stamping. Many libraries today mark ownership by edge ink stamping and use electronic strips for theft deterrence.
Library of Congress ownership Marking Ink
For edge stamping the general collections at the Library of Congress, the Preservation Directorate developed, in cooperation with the United States Government Printing Office, a permanent, indelible, neutral-pH ink that will not bleed if exposed to water or other solvents, that is resistant to fading, and that has not demonstrated adverse affects on paper substrates during testing. The Library of Congress does not necessarily recommend ink stamping rare or unique collection items. Library, archive, or museum institutions may request a 65 mL bottle of this ink (specify blue, black, or reddish-brown) by sending a contact name and institutional postal address to Ask A Librarian. If possible, we ask international institutions to provide a U.S. postal address as the ink and the postage is provided free of charge.
Additional information about the ink
- Requires a special stamp pad made of balsa wood. Balsa wood ink pads are available from online archival suppliers (Internet keyword search: "Clear Print wood block stamp pad archival inks") or can be made easily by cutting a ½" thick layer of endgrain and sanding smooth; the end grain is the inking surface. The pad should be kept in a container.
- Requires a specially cut stamp. The best imprints are made by stamps cut from rubber with simple, thin, sans-serif, all capital letters, text-only designs.
- When properly applied, the ink does not bleed on most papers; the ink may bleed slightly on exceptionally thin or porous papers; the ink does not apply well on highly calendared or coated papers.
- Requires a relatively long drying time. If page stamping, the book should be left open overnight to dry to prevent offsetting; this requires a lot of workspace.
- Material Safety Data Sheet (also known as Safety Data Sheet): Black ink [PDF: 189 KB; 3 p]; Blue ink [PDF: 97 KB; 3 p]; Brown ink [PDF: 127 KB; 3 p].
Application Tips
The best way to apply the ink to the balsa pad is with a plastic or wooden stick that is approximately 1/8" in diameter. Dip the stick into the ink. Allow excess ink to drip from the end of the stick back into the bottle. Roll the stick across the pad to distribute the ink evenly. The edges of the pad do not require inking. Ink area of pad only slightly larger than the stamp. Overinked pads compromise the quality of the stamp mark and can result in bleeding or strike-through. Allow the inked pad to stand for 30-60 minutes before using in order to permit migration of the ink into the pad. Practice using stamp on scrap paper before marking original. Clean an overinked pad by repeatedly stamping discard paper.
New balsa pads may require more frequent re-inking until the wood block is saturated or "primed." Once primed, the inked pad can be refreshed by applying one drop of water one week and one drop of ink the following week or as needed. The water can be applied with a medicine dropper. Use the ink stick to distribute the water over the surface of the pad.
If page stamping (instead of edge stamping), work on a flat, smooth surface to enable the stamp to touch the paper squarely and evenly and to prevent creasing or other topographical damage. If page stamping in a bound item, a piece of acid-free mat board behind the page can provide a flat, smooth surface for successful marking.
Placement of Mark
Institutions place ownership marks according to objectives, established practice, and common sense. Common practices include placing the mark where it: is easy to locate (e.g., in the same place on the same page of every book); is readily and easily visible (e.g., edge stamping of books); does not deface the item; does not obscure image or text; is on a blank side when available; is in an area of the page that is not blank/white on the other side (or the stamp will be more visible from the other side).
Marking rare or unique collection items
It is best to discuss the use of the Library of Congress ownership marking ink with your institution's conservator or preservation librarian before marking any rare or unique items. See Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) above for ingredients.

Midweek Madness: Bing and the Beatles
I confess, devoted and needy Midweek Madness fans, that I sometimes feel a wee bit guilty going all madcap when things are so glum out there. But then I come to my senses.
I realize that I just have to carry on this infantile practice of trying to provide a whiff of levity every Wednesday, because so many people are struggling to deal with this confusing, cruel world. They may not make it if they don't receive my few minutes of distraction.
So I carry on my task, hoping that I can bring comfort, in the immortal words of Ethel Mertz, to "your drab, dreary little lives."
This week, I stumbled across something so deliciously absurd that it made me momentarily forget my cares and woes, so, hey, it's bound to do the same for you -- an annoying Beatles song from the famed White Album (even John Lennon thought it was awful) given a stupefying production number featuring, of all people, Bing Crosby, who ...
clearly hadn't a clue what he was singing. The choreography around him is priceless:

Developing Leaders in Business and in Life
For Speaking Inquiries: 910-256-3495
Hire Mark
What you can expect when you book me and work with my team:
I'm a scuba diver, motorcycle rider, cancer survivor, husband, dad, New York Times bestselling author, and a speaker. But my greatest passion is seeing people become leaders in every area of their lives—especially those who don't believe they have any inherent leadership skills. I've had the opportunity to help this happen in some of the largest corporations in the world, such as: I've sold over 2 million books . I've spoken to over 2 million people, and I'm one of the youngest speakers ever inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame (CPAE). But that's far from what I'm most proud of. The greatest satisfaction of my life is getting e-mails and letters from people who say my speaking or books helped change their life. I would love the opportunity to do the same for your organization.
I understand your world and the world of leadership like few other speakers. I practice what I teach. One of the things that differentiates my work is that it stems from experience as a business owner, association and board leader. And I'm still studying, researching and applying what I learn about leadership today, both with my clients and in the organizations in which I am privileged to have a leadership role. I'll create a talk for your audience with diligence and deliver it with heart.

DIY Splash guard and light reflector
Could I use the tape that you use on furnaces for the light? Or is could I paint it white? The I have look burnt and are somewhat broken, really bad . . .

So that the bulb/light won't get wet.

This is my version of the Antarctic flag, seeing that there is no flag. I created this because it has a picture of Antarctica with no markings, meaning that it is a free land that nobody owns. The drawing of Antarctica also means that it is still much so a land of opportunity, and you can fill the empty spaces on Antarctica, with your country's name. Also "In Cold We Freeze" is a pun on "In God We Trust". This motto has a hidden meaning also, it's really cold. So this is my Antarctic flag.

Written by Mr. Mouseburger 24th Mar 2006
Kindly submitted by Mr Briggs inc.
The disfigured Dr. Anton Phibes (q.v.) is on a crusade to punish the doctors who let his wife die. His revenge takes the form of a modern reenactment of the ten biblical plagues bestowed on Egypt.
Late at night, he drives down the street with his beautiful henchwoman, Vulnavia [q.v.], in a fancy Rolls Royce. This street is home to Dr. Dunwoody, one of the medics Phibes feels is responsible for his wife's death. Dunwoody is unaware of his impending doom, being tucked up and peacefully sleeping in his bed.
Dr. Phibes stealthily climbs up to the top of the house with a cage of bats, which he slowly lowers into Dunwoody's house through a window in the top of the roof. Phibes uncovers the cage and lets the creatures within loose, which start swooping around the room.
Dunwoody wakes up at the noise, and the creatures are revealed to be killer bats (although anyone who has ever watched the Discovery channel will spot that they are actually just harmless fruit bats - and the strings supporting them while they are flying are also not true to nature!)
The next day, Dunwoody is discovered dead by his servants, his body having been scratched and torn at by the (fruit) bats. His servants phone the police but can't explain what happened, they can only report that they heard violin music playing late at night. Meanwhile, Phibes places a Hebrew medallion over the neck of a wax statue of Dunwoody, and symbolically melts it.

Last week, with the publication on March 19, 2013, of the Presidential Commission's report titled Safeguarding Children: Pediatric Medical Countermeasure Research, the Commission demonstrated its unique value to the American people. The report came as an answer to a request from Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Following are the first two paragraphs from the January 6, 2012, letter sent by Secretary Sebelius to Dr. Amy Gutmann, chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for developing and stockpiling safe and effective medical countermeasures to protect the nation from bioterror attacks. While it has made significant progress toward this goal for adults, the development of appropriate medical countermeasures for children lags, in part due to challenges in collecting basic dose and immunogenicity studies in pediatric populations.
On October 28, 2011, the HHS's National Biodefense Science Board (NBSB) released its report and recommendation on the "Challenges in the Use of Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed (AVA) in the Pediatric Population as a Component of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)." The NBSB debated how best to obtain scientifically valid safety and immunogenicity data about AVA PEP for children, a complex issue with ethical, scientific, medical, legal, regulatory, and administrative challenges. In its recommendation, the NBSB concludes that it would be in the best interests of children to gather safety and immunogenicity data about AVA PEP in children prior to an anthrax event, rather than during a future crisis when the vaccine may be needed. The NBSB also recommends that such data be obtained only after the ethical considerations are adequately addressed and reviewed by an appropriate body.
Secretary Sebelius should be commended for sending the request to the Presidential Commission in the first place: she asked for advice from the Nation's Ethics Committee.
Moreover, the Commission should be praised for way in which it dealt with the question and for its timely and reasonable response: if we plan to develop anthrax vaccine trials for children subjects in order to determine the safe and effective dose should countermeasures be necessary, we should take multiple steps preliminarily to safeguard their interests. As Chair Gutmann said in her transmittal letter justifying the Commission's recommendations, "The safety of our children is paramount and we have to get this precisely right."
The Report stands as authoritative evidence for one of the most valued roles and functions of the Presidential Commission: offering advice – when asked – about how better to proceed with bioethics dilemmas are identified at the national policy making level.
News coverage about the Report may be found here, here, and here.

Paris hotels
where is would be the best area to stay while visiting Paris...want to get a feel for the city and be able to access all major attractions.
where is would be the best area to stay while visiting Paris...want to get a feel for the city and be able to access all major attractions.
When I think about it, virtually everywhere inside the old city walls, the 20 arrondissments has something going for it. RS loves the 7th (Rue Cler!) and the Marais. Virtually everything is accessible with the Metro. The 10th, 11th, and 12th in the northwest and west used to be gritty, but are quickly getting gentrified by the new generation of Parisians. Little bit like the Lower East was 20 years ago and Brooklyn is now. The 5th, on the Left Bank is still the University district. Staying out of the center (1st and 2nd) will give you more of the feel of a neighborhood, with its own shops, restaurant and bar scene.
A guide book more detailed than RS will probably give you a better feel for all of the diversity in the city.
loretta, You'll probably find that the "best area" is mostly a matter of opinion, as everyone here has their favourites. I prefer staying in the 7th in the Rue Cler area. It's within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and other sights, has some nice hotels and restaurants and good Metro access. I was there again in July, and had a wonderful time. You might find it helpful to have a look at the Paris or France Guidebooks, as they have listings for hotels in various parts of Paris, and in various price ranges. Bon Voyage!
Most first timers enjoy staying in the most central areas, the 4th( Marais) the 5th ( Latin Quarter) and the 6th( St Germain). From these areas if nearer rather then farther from the river you can walk to many sites, Notre Dame, Cluny, Orsay, Louvre, etc.. if you stay in 6th you can walk to Eiffel Tower.. I find I only visit the Tower once so don't care to stay too close to it as that area is a bit quieter then some areas, and has less transport hubs. If you suggest you budget range folks can suggest hotels they have actually stayed in and liked. I have stayed in hotels in the 1st, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 14th and liked them all.. I agree there is no one best area. Alot depends on personal factors . .. I took a friend to Paris who had never been once,, and her comment on the area of the hotel I had chosen was "this is exactly how I imagined Paris to be".We had stayed at the Hotel Le Regent in the 6th, its in an older area of paving stone streets, cafes, markets , shops all around.. very "cute" . It was a bit pricier then I usually pay though, but splitting it with a friend made it affordable.
Loretta, if you swich your question around to "NYC", i think you will see how open your question is. ive only been to Paris once so far, but with its awsome tube system and bus, you can get around in a heart beat. I hear (toungg in cheeck) that NYC has a tube system too so i would expect the same results. what you can do is to plot out your "things to do and see list" on a map and figure out whats accessable for you. I stayted near the eiffel tower in the Rue Cler area. I didnt have any issues with the traffic noise other than the huge bottle recycling recepticles being swapped out in the early am. i did love walking around/under the Eiffel tower on my walks and i had a tube entrance 1 block away. when i go back, i will probably stay in a different area and see how that is. right now my fav area is Paris as a whole. not enough time to say any one place is "the best". happy trails.
The 7th, Rue Cler area cannot be beat for great hotels, cafes and close proximity to the Eiffel Tower. My husband & I stayed at Hotel de l'Empereur on Rue Chevert and walked everywhere... to the Louvre, Tuilleries, Musee Rodin, Musee d'Orsey, Ille d'le Cite, Notre Dame and everything in between. Bon Voyage!
I have to say that I am always puzzled by the rue Cler fans declaring how wonderful it is being so close to the tour Eiffel. Now you have to wonder, well, I mean I have to wonder, how many times do they actually go to see it? I often stay at a hotel in the 15th arrond. and take Bus No. 42 to go elsewhere in Paris. The bus passes the Tour Eiffel both going and coming back so I get to see the Tower every day, and I don't have to stay on boring old rue Cler.
Pat is exactly right, for a first-time visitor to Paris I think the 4th, 5th or 6th is the best. Those areas are closest to most tourist sites. They happen to be my favorite areas as well, even after living there and visiting often. The 7th is too far from most sites, other than the ET. I find the area boring and too full of Americans (thanks to Rick Steves). Yes, you'll see Americans in other parts of Paris (excluding tourist sites where, of course, you'll see lots of Americans) but no where near as many as in the 7th (I don't go to Paris to be surrounded by Americans as much as I love my country). The 4th, 5th and 6th has tons of wonderful cafes, bistros, restaurants, fun shops, outdoor markets, parks (don't miss the Luxembourg Gardens!), boat rides, metro stops, tourist sites, street musicians, street entertainers, quaintness and charm. My favorite area of all is Ile St. Louis (little island east of Notre Dame in the 4th) which is in the very heart of Paris. It is SO wonderful... my favorite hotels are there: Hotel St. Louis en l'Isle, Hotel de Lutece and Hotel des Deux Iles. Enjoy! And I agree with Norma!.. who was typing at the same time I was.
I just returned from Paris in July/August, and I absolutely LOVED the Hotel Saint Jacques in the Latin Quarter. Very centrally located (5-10 minute walk to the Notre Dame), large rooms & uber charming! http://www.hotel-saintjacques.com/ While there, you must try the restaurant across the street, La Petite Perigourdine. Wow, was it good! We ate there on 3 of the 5 nights we had in Paris!
I stayed in Rue Cler the first time I traveled to Paris as an adult. I wouldn't stay there again. It's more NYC than Paris...many Americans. We now enjoy staying in a Parisian neighborhood, 17th Arrondissement. We stay within a few blocks of the Arc de Triomphe on the same street as a daily street market: http://www.hotel-des-deux-avenues.com. There are many restaurants and bistro's in the neighborhood. Then up to the Arc de Triomphe and transport anywhere in the city. But that's just me, I like to feel part of the neighborhood.
I've stayed at Hotel St. Jacques twice and like it, but I still like Ile St. Louis and the hotels I recommended best.

Hey GuysAll I can say is, this is the best FW on the market. Last night I bought Outpost Security Suite and wasn't very happy with its performance and have asked for a refund. Today I thought I would try this new beta and the resources are much lower than the above mentioned (theirs [ at ] 15-20 mg AND cfp [ at ] 5-6mg). CFP is also far more configurable and very stable and extremely powerful and I can't tell you enough how much I love this program. I hope over the next few days that eveything works ok. Melih, you and your staff deserve a great big congradulations for a job well done and I can't wait to try the full version.Well done all of you and the people who give their comments to make this the best there is.shadha (B)
Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.
Sounds like the best thing since Sygate's free firewall that Norton bought and stamped out.
It's great to hear this is the last planned Beta.Dennis
The Defense+ sub-windows refer to functions called "My <something> Groups" when attempting to Edit entries. These functions do not appear to be accessible/visible. <something> = COM Interfaces, File & Registry.
I completely agree,this is why I trust to Comodo's creators like Melih and Egemen and all others,as well as Comodo's moderators.All of them put an example how the combination of both security and performance can be achieved.They really show how much they care about Comodo's users and their security issues,they answer on every possible problem that you have and they always try to help you to resolve it.This is something I've never seen in any other company.I'l just say one thing:Comodo's techies don't ignor users like many others do.You just have to respect that.And not to mention they all give this firewall for free!!!Cheers and thanks for that wonderful firewall.

In this article
If you do decide to give your guests gifts, consider writing their names on them. Children this age can become upset if they think their things are getting lost or mixed up.
What's good to put in a party-bag for five-year-olds?Five-year-old partygoers love lots of loot, and you might feel under pressure to provide bags bulging with trinkets and toys. But there are more environmentally friendly alternatives, which won't end up cluttering up your guests' homes.
You could burn CDs of your child's favourite songs. Get your child involved by asking her to design the CD cover.
Check out the online book clubs. Many do fantastic deals on box sets of paperbacks, offering books for less than £1 each.
Buy a job-lot of colourful mugs. Filled with sweets, they'll make attractive take-home gifts.
Should I tie the party-bags gifts in with the party theme?It's entirely up to you. But children this age have a keen eye for detail, and will certainly love it if you do.
- If you host a garden party, send home bulbs that the children can plant.
- For a butterfly celebration, wrap a packet of flower seeds, a few gummy worms, and a butterfly sticker in netting.
- Art party? Make a mini collage kit. Throw in some pipe cleaners, feathers, googly eyes and foam shapes.
- Mini tiaras, jewelled hair clips, and glittery pencils would all make great gifts for a princess party.
You needn't spend a fortune on branded toys. Star Wars fans, for instance, will love anything printed with the characters from the films. But they would be just as happy if you send them home with a balloon "light sabre" instead.
I don't want to use plastic party bags this year. Are there any greener alternatives?You could present your party-bag gifts in:
- Paper bags decorated with stickers.
- Mini cardboard boxes. You can buy multipacks of these quite cheaply from craft shops and websites.
- Fabric bags. Hunt around online for bargains, or run up your own from leftover material.
- Recycled wrapping paper and ribbon.
- Colourful paper cups. Attach string or ribbon to make a handle.
Any ideas for party-bag gifts on a budget?Most children this age still love colouring in. Download a range of printable scenes. Add pencils or crayons and a piece of birthday cake, and offer each child a balloon as they leave.
Fill a bucket with play sand and have a lucky dip as the children leave. You only need buy one small trinket per guest, but if it's wrapped in tissue paper and presented as a surprise, it will have maximum appeal.
Another cost-effective idea is to do a craft project with the children and make that the going-home gift. Again, you needn't spend much on materials.
You could try:
- Making paper flowers from tissue paper and pipe cleaners.
- Cutting door hangers from cardboard and getting the children to decorate them.
- Investing in a job-lot of plastic beads, and making necklaces or bracelets.
- Making magic wands from lolly sticks and cardboard sprinkled with glitter.
- Painting pebble "monsters".
- Decorating home-made cupcakes.
- Creating photo frames from cardboard. If you can, take a photo of all the party guests and print it out, so your guests have something to put in the centre.

Curve It Like Konigcomments (9) April 7th, 2011 in blogs
For two decades, Vancouver furnituremaker Enrico König made his living planting trees. Working in the boreal forests of British Columbia, he helped replant clear cuts so vast they were visible from the Moon. Working hard through the warmer months, he could easily earn enough to support himself for the whole year. One winter a friend gave him the use of his garage woodworking shop to make Christmas presents, and König soon found himself spending his off months buying woodworking tools and learning how to use them.
With no training in woodworking and little contact with other woodworkers, König learned much about the field through reading. But perhaps the most important source of inspiration for him was the Eastside Culture Crawl. The Crawl is a three-day event, held each November in East Vancouver, during which more than three hundred artisans open their studios to the public. During the Crawl König visited prominent Vancouver furniture makers like Arnt Arntsen and Judson Beaumont, and his hobby instantly got more serious. Eventually König decided to close his tree-planting business and dive into furniture full time. These days, his one-man shop is included in the Crawl.
After working primarily in solid wood early on, König bought a vacuum bag and began experimenting with bent lamination and veneered forms. He developed a line of pieces incorporating dramatic arched bases and dazzling veneers. This slideshow presents a range of his curved work, some of it bent-lam and some of it coopered.
König's work was featured on the back cover of Fine Woodworking #219.

Personalizing your Amelie Chocolates Gifts
Are you thinking of giving out chocolate gifts to your spouse, friend or relative? Chocolates are tasty, inexpensive, and awesome gifts that are appreciated by most people. Chocolate gifts are a sure way of putting a smile on people you value and creating a stronger relationship. However to ensure you have the best chocolate gifts to give, personalization is important and necessary.
Well everyone certainly wants to give gifts that will impress and leave the recipient smitten! This is where personalization comes in. Personalizing your chocolate gifts will ensure that they clearly stand out. For starters, it will pay to be a little creative. Amelie Chocolat often welcomes and appreciates any suggestions from customers on how they want their chocolates personalized to form the perfect gift.
This means you can suggest the ribbons you would prefer for the packaging or rather the color of the package boxes to be used, among other specifications. It's also consequential to come up with a special message that should be written on the gift's card that will be going along with your personalised chocolates gifts. Depending on whether the chocolate gifts are to be given for official purposes or just personal scenarios, you can think of a message that will be appropriate.
But when working with Amelie Chocolat, you do not always have to do the hard work. If you're clueless on how to present your chocolate gifts, the company knows exactly what to do. With their friendly personnel at bay, you can be advised on what can be done to make your gifts stunning. This is what you benefit from working with the best chocolate company in UK.
