Associate empowerment, a unique corporate culture, and our great headquarters' location make Hypertherm a great career move. But you don't have to take our word for it. Hypertherm was voted the #1 Best Place to Work in New Hampshire in 2008 by BusinessNH magazine.
Teamwork and empowerment
Hypertherm believes in empowering our Associates. But this empowerment is just the beginning. Our team-based, flat organizational structure means everyone is an equal here. Hypertherm supports our Associates and listens to every voice. Read what our Associates have to say about working at Hypertherm.
Hypertherm's unique corporate culture has created an experienced, well-trained and highly motivated group of Associates. Our Associates continue to strive for greater business achievement and higher rewards. They set the company apart by virtually any measure of operating efficiency and against any recognized standard. Hypertherm Associates are more productive, effective and competent than their peers at other companies. They are proven leaders who share in the success of the company through the Hypertherm stock ownership program and profit sharing, which, in good years, can contribute significantly to an associate's income.
Hypertherm is a global business with operations in many countries including China, The Netherlands, Brazil, Germany, Singapore and Australia! Our corporate headquarters is located in the beautiful town of Hanover, New Hampshire; home to Dartmouth College, and one of America's Best Small Towns according to Money magazine.
The community surrounding Hypertherm is referred to as the Upper Valley. It encompasses the Connecticut River and includes communities in both New Hampshire and Vermont. Nestled among rolling foothills and many lakes and rivers, the Upper Valley is a wonderful place to live and work.
"For me the Upper Valley is a fantastic place to live, because I believe we have the best of all worlds. The Upper Valley has all the benefits of a city with the advantages a rural area has to offer, too. The town of Lebanon has a great choice of tax free shopping. Dartmouth College, in Hanover, draws great musical and theatrical performers from all over the world. Strangers say hello and your car will still be there if you forget to lock it. Within a short drive you can reach great hiking and skiing. What more could you ask for? I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else!"
Barney Matthews, Engineering Services
The communities and villages of the Upper Valley are just what you'd expect of Northern New England. They are quaint and historic, with plenty of independent shops and an unhurried pace. The people here are exceedingly friendly with old fashioned values. Neighbors care and look out for one another here.
There are a multitude of recreational and leisure activities available in the Upper Valley, in addition to renowned schools. All are within a half hour of Hanover.
Picturesque villages
The area is filled with lovely villages like Quechee (pronounced kwee-chee), home of the Quechee Gorge. The Ottauquechee River cascades over a spectacular waterfall alongside Main Street, which meanders past beautifully unique storefronts and restaurants. The Annual Quechee Balloon Festival is an event you don't want to miss. Every Father's Day weekend, Quechee becomes a balloon mecca with brilliantly-colored hot-air balloons taking over the village green. The site of nearly two dozen of these balloons taking off at dawn and dusk is pretty spectacular.
Woodstock, Vermont is another quaint village. Words like romantic, magical and historic are often used to describe it. Clear blue skies, babbling brooks, fields of flowers and pastoral farms envelop and delight as you enjoy the unhurried pace of life. First settled in 1768, Woodstock retains the elegant charm and rugged character of American antiquity with a covered bridge in the middle of town and stately homes surrounding the village green. It is easy to see why Woodstock is often called "the prettiest small town in America."
Arts & entertainment
There are several wonderful theaters featuring a variety of live performances. There is the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts located in Hanover on the campus of Dartmouth College; the Lebanon Opera House, an active, year-round, fully renovated performing arts facility; the Briggs Opera House and the Claremont Opera House.
Unique shopping
Great shopping abounds. Hanover caters to both the young and old, with fine stores such as Rare Essentials, Campions, Gap, and JuliAna. Beautiful glasswork, pottery, and hand loomed rugs are available at Simon Pearce and the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen retail gallery, to name a few.
Great food
There is no shortage of great food in the area. Whether you want to eat in a quaint New England Inn, a down-home diner, or a to-die-for bakery, the Upper Valley has it. If you'd rather do the cooking yourself: no problem! You can shop at one of the many Farmers' Markets that feature fresh produce and more, or visit the King Arthur Flour Baker's Store. The Baker's Store is the destination for bakers looking for both new and classic baking products and resources. The store features an extensive selection of hard-to-find ingredients, tools, appliances, gadgets, professional bakeware and signature mixes. The store also offers freshly baked bread and pastries. And then there's the Hanover Food Co-operative, a real treasure for those who live here. The Co-op, as locals simply call it, has such a wide variety of fresh food, organic products, and gourmet offerings, it rivals anything found in the big city.
Respected schools
Besides Dartmouth College, the Upper Valley is home to several respected private schools. The Waldorf School in Quechee, VT and Montessori School in Norwich VT are here, as is the Kimball Union Academy (prep school) in Meriden, NH. The Upper Valley is also home to the award winning Dresden School District, the only interstate school district in the nation. The Dresden School District serves both Hanover, New Hampshire and the village of Norwich, Vermont.
Great outdoors
Finally, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the great outdoors: this is Northern New England after all. From skiing and ice skating in the winter, swimming in the summer, and hiking and biking in the spring and fall, you can do it all here. The Upper Valley boasts several great ski resorts within a short drive, as well as great swimming spots such as Quechee's Lake Pinneo, the Connecticut River, and Storr's Pond. There are also many spectacular hikes leading to breathtaking views of the Valley and great country roads for biking and running. If you'd rather take things a little more slowly, you can do that as well, by either taking a nice walk through a village, enjoying the historic architecture at Dartmouth College, or taking in an outdoor parade or performance.

SANTA ROSA -- The Annadel Medical Group has added 20 physicians over the past 10 months, an accelerating pace that makes it one of the fastest-growing medical groups in the region at a time when health systems across the country seek to attract more physicians.
Annadel, which is affiliated with St. Joseph Health Sonoma County, is also starting two new specialty practices, in gastroenterology, which focuses on the digestive system, and OB/GYN -- both important specialties that will enable physicians to provide more comprehensive care, the medical group said.
"It's really being driven by patients and physicians," Bob Just, director of operations for St. Joseph Heritage Healthcare and the Annadel Medical Group, said of the recent growth.
Annadel started with seven physicians in 2008. Since then, it has grown to 50 physicians and 10 nurse practitioners -- across numerous practice areas, but with a heavy emphasis on primary care. Most recently, the group added 13 physicians, its largest single addition since its inception.
While the group has grown at an impressive rate recently, St. Joseph Health in the past has struggled to match the growth rate of foundations operated by its biggest competitors. Back in 2002, shortly after the Santa Rosa-based HMO Health Plan of the Redwoods shuttered, St. Joseph Health altered its strategy related to medical foundations, opting to focus its resource on other areas of care, according to Mr. Just.
"There was a different foundation model back in the '90's," Mr. Just said. "When HPR folded, at the time it was perceived to be a time to get out of a business that was losing money. I think the reality is, had we stayed the course, we probably would have found ourselves in a more favorable position. We had to come with seven physicians instead of 80 or 90."
But the recent efforts to grow the foundation are paying off, Mr. Just said, adding that the size of the group, while important, is not the only metric of a successful foundation.
An important metric both Mr. Just and Annadel President Dr. David Smith noted is that the recently added doctors include several longtime, established and respected Sonoma County physicians, giving the group a legitimately local feel.
There's also a healthy mix of new recruits to the region, Dr. Smith said.
Other health systems have similarly invested heavily into physician foundations, largely as a means to secure doctors -- and perhaps their patients -- in lieu of health care reform and anticipated physician shortages. The same is driving Annadel to aggressively seek out new physicians, which will not only help it adapt to health care reform but will also expand the level of services to more patients.

My front brakes were replaced 1 year ago, but it's been a while for my rear drum brakes. I feel a vibration or rumble when breaking at high speeds and a wobble at low speeds. Of course I considered the drums in the rear first but the wobble has me wondering if it's not the u joints or something else in the drive shaft. Again it happens when braking only.

PAX 2012: Hitman: Absolution multiplayer hands-on - PreviewJake Weston, posted on 31 August 2012 / 2,236 Views
As video games become more ingrained into the pop-cultural lexicon and multiplayer grows more popular than ever, the challenge of traditionally single-player franchises to transiition into multiplayer becomes more pertinent than ever. While series like Assassin's Creed and Max Payne incorporate online multiplayer in new and innovative ways, other series such as Ninja Gaiden and Spec Ops lose their way in the shuffle. When IO Interactive announced that their upcoming Hitman: Absolution would feature the series' first foray into online multiplayer -- in a new mode dubbed "Contracts" -- many fans were worried about the loss of another single-player franchise to the corporate multiplayer machine. During my hands-on time with the multiplayer with game director Tore Blystad, however, I was shown just how innovative Contracts is, and should quell any doubts fans may have about this entry to the series.
Rather than incorporating traditional 16+ person multiplayer into Hitman: Absolution, IO Interactive is making the transition from single to multiplayer almost seemlessly, allowing players to challenge others with "contracts". These challenges appear in real-time during campaign, prompting you to temporarily divert your attention from the main objective to assassinate a peripheral character.
Our demo began with Agent 47 trying to escape a library from a group of police officers. While gameplay was initially more reminiscent of Splinter Cell or Batman: Arkham City, with Agent 47 sticking to ledges and shadows to avoid guards, a contract popped up that would send Agent 47 into a play style instantly reminiscent of classic Hitman titles. The contract popped up assigning 47 the task of assassinating the nearby police sergeant. After accepting the contract, players restarted the area, and classic Hitman creeped in. Our demo player went down to the bottom level to stealthily take out a police officer with Agent 47's trusty fiber-wires. After hiding the body out of sight, Agent 47 donned the police officer's uniform, allowing him to travel freely amongst the other officers. Locating his target through the new "Instinct" ability (basically Batman's "Detective Vision" from his recent duo of games), Agent 47 bided his time until both him and his target were out of the field of vision of any nearby police officers, promptly taking him out with his trusty silenced Silverballer pistol. Nonchalantly making his way to the exit, our demo player was able to make it out before any officers found the body. The contract was complete.
Of course, that was just one of many ways that this contract could have been completed, but the most interesting aspect of Contracts mode is through player creation. Players can create their own contracts by playing through the single-player missions, but marking their own targets and choosing which way to assassinate them. Up to three targets can be marked in a level, and it's up to players to think of creative ways to bring them down. After taking down your targets and exiting the level, you have created your contract, allowing players online to try to recreate your hit, and possibly do better.
Depending how you create your contract, you can determine certain parameters for other players to meet to earn cash bonuses. Depending on what outfit you wore, which weapons you used, what order you hit your targets, and whether or not you were seen. Time is also a factor, meaning if players are able to accomplish the hit with the same conditions you originated then they will outscore you and earn more cash, which can then be spent on outfits and better weapons to perform better contracts.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of Hitman: Blood Money was sitting down with a friend and comparing and contrasting how differently each of you would run through levels. With Contracts, the developers of Hitman: Absolution have brought this experience online, creating a new type of multiplayer that stays absolutely true to Hitman's roots.

"The Grand Canyon, North Rim" Top 5 Page for this destination Zion National Park Off The Beaten Path Tip by windsorgirl
Zion National Park Off The Beaten Path: 43 reviews and 75 photos
It is a worthwhile detour to the north rim of the Grand Canyon from Zion, if you have not seen the Grand Canyon before. It is only 120 miles and can easily be seen as a daytrip.
We visited in mid October and found snow en route but by the time we arrived at the canyon, the snow had melted from the canyonwalls. If this is your only opportunity to see the Grand Canyon, I would plan to be there in the late afternoon to avoid the harsh midday sun.
You can use your National Park Pass to gain admission to the North Rim.

Keny Edilia
Update on Keny EdiliaKeny lives with her husband, who works a great deal so that he can give his family the best and make sure they have everything they need to live better. Keny works selling women's clothing like blouses, pants, tee shirts, underwear and more. She is a person who works hard to sell more every day, because she knows the importance of her contribution to the well-being of her home and her family.
Keny sells the clothing as a street vendor (she has several regular customers) as well as in her pupusa [grilled, stuffed corn tortillas] shop. She is requesting a loan from INTEGRAL so that she will be able to invest in her business, increasing the quantity of clothing and also acquiring a greater variety of colors, sizes, and designs. That way, she will be able to accommodate a greater range of personal tastes, thereby increasing her sales and earnings.
Previous Loan DetailsKeny Edilia is 35 years old and lives in her own home with her husband. She dedicates herself to selling clothing, and to making and selling pupusas (a stuffed tortilla traditional of her country). These businesses are located in her home, and have helped her contribute toward the household's f... More from Keny Edilia's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Traffic – we despise it, we can't stand it and we'll do anything to avoid it. You can catch the morning news before you head out to work, tune in to the traffic updates on the radio – or you can download a traffic application on your smartphone. These apps are here to help you elude bumper-to-bumper driving, accidents and any other annoying traffic hazards. Some of these apps may be better than the rest, but each app has its own advantages, so it's worth trying them out to see which one you like best. Below are a few of the best apps out there to help you evade that pesky traffic.
Waze is more than just a traffic app; Waze is a traffic community. The idea behind Waze is to outsmart traffic by allowing millions of drivers to work together to report traffic jams, police traps, accident reports, cheapest gas prices and more. This free app is "killing" the traffic app game, with over 10,000 reviews and a four and half star rating. As you continue to use Waze, it picks up on your frequent destinations, commute time and preferred routes, but will always offer alternate routes based on the current traffic conditions. Waze also lets you connect with your Facebook friends, allowing you to interact and coordinate drives. In my opinion, Waze is definitely the number one choice when it comes to free traffic apps.
You might be familiar with TomTom as a GPS, but instead of adding clutter to your car with a separate navigation deice, download, or should I say buy, TomTom for your smartphone. For $50, you can relive all of the magic of this navigation pioneer right on your phone. The app works online and offline, which can save you big money on data charges. A trusted, well-known brand, TomTom won't steer you wrong, as long as if you're willing to spend a few dollars.
Best of the Rest
There are a number of other traffic apps available for both iOS and Android systems. Although none of these apps truly compare to the functionality and effectiveness of Waze or TomTom, apps like Sigalert.com, INRIX Traffic and Twist all feature bits and pieces of what Waze offers.
- INRIX Traffic allows you to look at live camera shots from high traffic areas. It also lists incidents reported around your area, along with the delay time and backup distance.
- Sigalert.com has a very cool feature where you can look up any freeways/highways and it will show you the speed of the traffic at each of the exits and cross streets.
- Twist allows you to communicate with your friends, family and co-workers, and share your ETA.
- SNL said it best: "Google Maps is the best," so if that's what you're familiar with, keep using it.
My personal choice? Waze. This app has truly has changed the way I drive to and from work. It has allowed me to use quicker, alternative routes, and drastically decreased my commute time. Try some of our suggestions above and see which one you like!

MINOT| Minot's Roosevelt Park Zoo has introduced its new wolves — a pair of year-old female grays that came from a tourist attraction in South Dakota's Black Hills.
The Minot Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/11xoDrs) that the zoo presented Luna and Denali to the public on Friday. They were obtained last November from Bear Country USA, a drive-through wildlife park in western South Dakota.
Employees of Enbridge Pipelines got to name the wolves. About 75 employees from the Bakken oil patch firm volunteered more than 600 hours to the zoo's rebuilding efforts after the flood.
The zoo's carnivore keeper, Lana Erickson, says she's excited to work with the additions.

FedEx Corp. completed its $4.9 billion acquisition of TNT Express and will start integrating the European company into its network immediately.
The French ocean carrier received confirmation today for its estimated $2.4 billion acquisition of Neptune Orient Lines and its APL container shipping subsidiary by the Anti-monopoly Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
The seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index equaled 134.8 for the month, down another 2.1 percent from March and 2 percent compared with April 2015, according to the American Trucking Associations.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The proposed ocean carrier alliance will include Hapag-Lloyd of Germany; Japan's MOL, NYK and "K" Line; Taiwan-based Yang Ming; and South Korean line Hanjin, and could potentially add Dubai-based UASC and Korea's HMM down the road.
However, the International Maritime Organization's Maritime Safety Committee said there should be no delay in the implementation of the verified gross mass rule.
The European Union competition watchdog said a trustee will monitor both companies to ensure there is no information sharing between the Ocean3 and G6 ocean carrier alliances, of which CMA CGM and Neptune Orient Lines subsidiary APL are currently members.

Also in 1907
Watt, A. Balmer, Alberta History
Editor's Note: On February 25, 1907, the Historical Society of Alberta was formed by an Act of the Alberta legislature. At that time, the province was only two years old and many of its services and amenities were just being established. A land rush by homesteaders was underway and urban real estate was beginning to rear its brazen head. At the beginning of 1907, Edmonton had no street cars, Calgary had no door-to-door mail service, Lethbridge as a city was just one year old, and Red Deer boasted a population of two thousand.
To provide some glimpses of Alberta in 1907, we have drawn upon the news and editorial articles that appeared in The Saturday News, a newspaper out of Edmonton that called itself "Alberta's Provincial Weekly." Besides gathering its own news, editor A. Balmer Watt drew upon news and human interest stories that appeared in local weeklies all across Alberta.
Here are some samples:
Lethbridge celebrated its first birthday as a city last week in suitable fashion, a procession and a programme of sports taking place during the day time and a banquet in the evening. The southern city is making great strides. With its many natural advantages and its progressive citizenship, nothing will hold it back. (May 18, 1907)
Paul Purddis, of Calgary, has resigned his post as engineer of the waterworks and sewer construction in progress at Red Deer. The council decided to stop work for the winter, contrary to his advice. Their decision, he claims, means a loss of $3,000 to the municipality. He urged that it would be difficult to break in the inexperienced gang in the spring, that the trenches if left as they are until then, would collapse and that there would be a lot of trouble in draining them. (January 19, 1907)
The Alberta Navigation company's new steamboat, "City of Medicine Hat," was launched at Medicine Hat last Tuesday in the presence of a concourse of citizens and residents of the district. Miss Isobel Cousins, daughter of the mayor of the city, christened the boat and the mayor made a short address after which Captain H. H. Ross gave the word and the ropes were cut, allowing the big steamer to gracefully glide into the water. The council presented a silver service in honor of the event. The boat will be used on the South Saskatchewan for freight and passengers and can accommodate 58 passengers. (June 15, 1907)
The Government was wise in not leaving the question of a site for the provincial university open for any length of time. The choice narrowed to Strathcona and Calgary and the decision in the former's favor has given no small measure of satisfaction to the people on each side of the river. The advantages which will accrue from such an institution are by no means small. Ten years from now, the university and its affiliated colleges should have between two and three thousand students in attendance, while those employed on the various staffs will number several hundred. But there is not only the addition to the population to consider. The presence of large academic bodies in a city has a broadening and refining influence which is worth a great deal. On the other side of the Saskatchewan from the parliament buildings, an excellent site may be obtained, one that could not be equalled, we believe, elsewhere in Alberta. (April 13, 1907)
Though Calgary will lack the provincial university, its future in educational matters seems assured. Already a girls' college has been established, and Western Canada College, under management of Dr. McRae, is an assured success. This week comes the announcement of the gift of a site for an Anglican Divinity School by Mr. E.H. Riley, to be known as the "Bishop Pinkham College." Accompanying the offer of a site is a cheque for $500, the first half of a donation of $1,000. Though not very much prominence has been given the fact, it has been known for some time that an admirable site of ten and three quarter acres has been donated by a prominent Baptist for the purpose of establishing a Baptist College in Calgary. …

Derek Slocum smiles broadly while he cuts the blue ribbon wrapped around his new front door. Walking up the steps for a tour, he can only mutter one word: Beautiful.
Soon, he and his wife will move out of Slocum's childhood home in the District into a home in Lanham.
"This is considered to be the first home that we will own as husband and wife," he says.
It's a new chapter for the Slocum's in a neighborhood that has seen hard times. The home sat as a vacant eyesore for a year before a Prince George's County Department of Housing and Community Development program bought and renovated the foreclosed home. The once crumbling 2,000 square-foot house is now worth $250,000 and features energy efficient appliances.
In June, the Slocum's won the deed in the first Prince George's County housing lottery and will pay just $190,000 for the home.
"Change is good, especially good change, and this represents a characteristic of change and the opportunity of a lifetime," he says.
"This is why I ran for office, to see neighborhoods like this come back to life and this is going to help do it," says Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker.
Slocum hopes to bring faith into the home good fortune gave him. He's already picked up a large closet for his prayer room.
He and his wife plan to move into the new home in January and hope it will be a gathering place for loved ones.
"Friends, family, church members can enjoy it. I think a home has to be shared to really appreciate it," he says.

Ok, I have an odd project. I have built a frame to hold a outdoor water tank which will be the home to several high quality koi. It is 20 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet deep. The structure is sound and will support the weight of the water. I built it out of 2x4's, 2x6's and 4x4's. I am worried that over time the wood will rot and eventually give out under the stress. The entire structure in on a cement pad and the wood that is in contact with the cement is pressure treated, the rest is standard. I need to seal/protect the wood so it won't rot away.
Basically the wood frame will have 5/8" or 3/4" ply on the inside and then a rubber liner (45mill epdm) will hold the water. Between the ply and the liner I will have old carpeting to prevent slivers of plywood from poking holes in the liner. I need to do two things. A) prevent rain and dew from getting the outside of the wood wet, right now it is just the exposed wood frame. I was thinking of the OSB board, paper, lath and stucco. Then B) I need to keep the inside ply from getting wet because the cool water on a hot day will cause condensation on the outside of the liner and soak into the ply. Not sure if the carpet will help or make it worse by soaking up and holding the water next to the wood.
I was thinking of using marine grade plywood on the inside, but at $60 a sheet I can't afford it.
see my drawing below. Can I use that black roofing paper between the ply and the carpet? Maybe seal the wood with an outdoor paint or wood sealer? how do I stucco the outside of the wood frame to keep water out?Any help would be appreciated. cost is definitely an issue.

Peter Drucker on ERM
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 391 Visits
Some months ago I came across an article co-authored by a colleague of mine on enterprise risk management. It's aimed at boards of directors, providing needed insight into difficulties companies have experienced implementing ERM, and puts forth principles for its effective use.
What I found particularly interesting is reference to principles outlined by "legendary management thinker" Peter F. Drucker, and the authors' description of how those principles can be applied to ERM:
Mr. Drucker, if somehow you're listening, I hope you're smiling at what you hear.

Pulino's Is Taking Lunch Reservations, Prime Times Still Available
Plus, the Pulino's answering machine makes a funny.
Pulino's has opened its reservation line at 212-226-1966 for breakfast and lunch starting next Monday. Our first question, once we got past the constant busy signal: What sort of silliness (à la "Schiller's is not now, nor has it ever been, a massage parlor"; Pastis's "for directions in French, please take lessons at the Alliance Français"; and Minetta's "for problems with your marriage, please call me at home") would be on the outgoing message?
And the answer: "For lost and found and gift cards and other office nonsexual matters, please press four." Okay. Our next question, after nine minutes on hold: Is there a table for two available at 1 p.m. on Monday? Answer: No, but there were still 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. tables. Dinner service starts March 26; it's uncertain when those reservations will start being accepted.

An isthmus is a land bridge, a narrow strip of land that stretches across a body of water to connect two larger land masses.
The Greek isthmos means "neck," so you can see how isthmus came to mean the connecting strip between land masses. If you look at an example, say the Isthmus of Panama, you can see how that neck-like bit of land separates the Caribbean Sea from the North Pacific Ocean as it connects North and South America. Think of an isthmus as kind of like a turkey neck that connects the bird's body and head (at least until Thanksgiving).
Definitions of isthmus
n a relatively narrow strip of land (with water on both sides) connecting two larger land areas

Oklahoma City Thunder: Rebounding basketball an issue for Thunder
Tyson Chandler sat in the visitor's locker room recapping his team's shootout victory over the Thunder with slurred speech and a mandatory safety net.
The New York Knicks center had a chipped tooth, and the mouthpiece he wore while conducting his postgame interview helped keep it from falling out yet resulted in a lisp.
"Good old Melo," Chandler said, identifying teammate Carmelo Anthony as the culprit.
In between squeezing off a game-high 29 shots, seemingly gunning for (and getting) the lead in the scoring race in his only head-to-head battle this season with Kevin Durant, Anthony actually did some dirty work.
He busted up Chandler's mouth while grabbing one of his nine offensive rebounds and going back up for a putback.
That's how bad Anthony and the Knicks wanted Sunday afternoon's 125-120 win.
Meanwhile, down the hall in the home locker room, the Thunder again downplayed its biggest defensive deficiency and expressed little concern despite how things appear to be getting worse rather than better as the playoffs approach.
"I'm not concerned," Durant said when asked directly about the team's rebounding woes.
Yet the only consistent thing about the Thunder's defense seems to be inconsistency.
Oklahoma City followed up its best defensive performance of the season with one of its worst. After holding Indiana to eight points on 2-for-18 shooting in the fourth quarter Friday, the Thunder allowed a season high for points, yielded at least 30 points in three quarters (and 29 in the fourth) and allowed 19 offensive rebounds.
The rebounding was the worst of all evils.
That's because Sunday marked the fifth time in the past 10 games that the Thunder has allowed at least 16 offensive rebounds. The Knicks converted their 19 offensive boards into 23 second-chance points.
"We just gave up too many offensive rebounds," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "When we did make them miss they got 19 offensive rebounds and 23 putback points. That's not good. We should not be able to give up both of them."
After out-rebounding the Pacers, the league's best rebounding team, by 22, Sunday's showing was the equivalent of five steps back after one step forward.
In its past 10 games, the Thunder has allowed 14 offensive rebounds. By comparison, the league's high mark is Milwaukee's 12.3.
"We just have to go back to the basics," Brooks said. "We're going to talk about it and we have been talking about it. The basics of rebounding is blocking out. It's not rebounding. The rebound comes after a block out. If you focus on rebounding there's too many athletes in this league that it's a 50-50 ball. You block out first and then you go get the rebound."
So are the players not blocking out enough?
"It's a combination," Brooks said. "Everybody has to think rebound. We're such a high, explosive offensive transition team that we can't think about that until we secure the ball. That's just something that we will brush up on and try to get better at that the last five games."
New York committed an opponent season-low six turnovers Sunday and also made 15 of 34 3-pointers, completing a comprehensive day of defensive frustration, one that continued the troubling trend of the Thunder struggling against the league's best.
Now, only five games are left to figure it out, to find that defensive toughness, tenacity and consistency which has eluded the Thunder for much of the year.
Today, it was just a disappointing regular season loss.
Soon, the same issues could be much more costly.
"We just have to learn from this and move on as quickly as we can," Brooks said.

Hey, I'm Lionel!
I am a native New Yorker, born in bred in Brooklyn. I am thirtysomething and am trying to see every inch of the world I can. I dig the idea of global citizenship (we aren't all that different) and usually learn the most about myself while traveling.
Some of these travels include Brazil, Costa Rica, Thailand, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Belgium, Montreal, China, Colombia, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Morocco and Sweden.
My likes: food, cooking, music ( funk, soul, samba, etc), dancing, good conversations, movies, books, running, and good people.
My dislikes: close-minded people, slobs, liver, milk, bad DJs, colicky babies on planes, people that chew with their mouths open, and people that scream into their cellphones. and truffle flavored anything.
I am a good guy that is a little quirky. When I travel I usually skip the sites (at least tourist traps) and opt for hitting the streets to interact with the locals. This is one of the reasons why Airbnb is so great.
I am fairly proficient in English and have "took for a semester/possibly dropped the course" - level proficiency in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

I had a chance to meet Mr. Larry. He came well prepared to teach me and helped me understand the difficult Cost Accounting problems that I was struggling with for a long time. He is a very good tutor, actually tells you how you should study and gives good advice.
Larry is patient. Once he realizes you are catching on, he gives you problems to figure out from different perspectives, so that by the time you are done, all of it is clear to you. I even caught my own mistake before he could! Now THAT is PROGRESS!!
Larry does not understand the Tax issues. Even he is a CPA, he does not understand any federal tax issues. For instance, if a taxpayer claim a child tax credit or Earned income Credit, the taxpayer and child must have a valid Social Security Number, but he didn't know that.
This is untrue. Please read other feedback from the students that I have had over the last two years. This student did not know what they were doing and misrepresented himself when he contacted me. He was not looking for a tutor but a test taker. I was very generous with the time I spent with the student. He could not handle that he had to pay for the sessions.
Not only was Larry very patient, he has a very interesting way for motivating and encouraging the appreciation for learning accounting.
Larry really knows his accounting and is able to clearly explain concepts both broad and specific. He is mindful of time and moves the lesson along smoothly in order to cover the material.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am a CPA with over thirty years experience in teaching and performing the accounting function in Fortune 500 companies. I have taught all levels of accounting.
I teach Access at 3 colleges. I have also used it in business.
I am an actor who has done much public speaking through out my career.
I have taught QuickBooks at various consulting agencies.
I am a CPA who prepares personal income taxes.
I teach Visual Basic at three colleges.

Sunday I visited a different gym to try it out. They had some stationary bikes by Expresso, which featured a computer screen in front of the rider displaying different bike paths. I thought, "this is silly, so let's try it for a minute." So I climbed onto the saddle, chose the "Evening Bliss" ride, and began pedaling.
My stats tell the rest of the story:
Average speed 13.5 MPH
Heart rate - Average 120, max 156
Power - Average 110 watts, max 399
total miles:7.43
It was amazing. I generally don't perspire much while riding outside, but here I was dripping sweat. As I came up to the virtual riders, I pedaled faster to get around them. I may have even said, "on your left" once or twice.
Once "Evening Bliss" was complete, I chose "Fruitdale", which sets the bike path along a California beach. Again I revved up what little motor I have. And again I found my long-dormant competitive instincts coming out. As I passed a large virtual cyclist, I turned and asked, "where's Gina?"
I stopped after the 7.43 miles because I was tired, and the saddle was uncomfortable - I wasn't wearing bike shorts. Also, as usual, the bike's Q-factor was too narrow for my feet. As I climbed off the bike I noticed my t shirt was very damp.
Some points that came out from this experience:
1. I'm very out of shape, even by my standards.
2. I have a competitive streak I need to exercise more.
3. If I can find the right bike fit, or the right bike, there's nothing I can't do.
4. When I ride, I need to push myself harder. On tour and commuting I don't 'drop the hammer', because I'm sightseeing and because, in the case of commuting, my work doesn't have shower facilities. So as I try to get back in shape this riding season I need to work on sprints and other drills to make me a faster cyclist.

When I put the key in the start position, all the dash lights go out. But a couple of times, when I pushed forward on the shift lever and turned the key to start, the car began turning over, just would not start.. Is there a problem with a switch on the shift and the starter?

80% of the time I get a fabulous daily smoke. The other 20% I get a smoke that is wrapped so tight there is no draw. Not your fault but that of the manufacturer. I am also on a 2 week automatic and seem not to be able to receive any of the promotions things you offer for regular customers (which I obviously am) If on my bi weekly package I get to receive the free promotion items it would be great.

All Yesterday's Memories, All Tomorrow's Parties
Remembering Lou Reed
I was a few months shy of 16 when I first heard the lucidly stark voice of Lou Reed stream over the airwaves. I was just another suburban weirdo, looking for a justified rebellion to call his own. I had spent those "formative years" sleeping around with any album loud enough to drown out my inner white noise, moving through a steady stream of Hardcore, Punk, Metal — if they were screaming it, I was buying it. As it turns out, though, what I was really looking for was a quieter sort of revolution, and at the helm was Mr. Lou Reed, telling me with a frank honesty that there was freedom in the composition. It was, like any great lesson, one I'd come to learn in time. To say I enjoyed those first striking chords of "Heroin" would be an understatement. It was on a snowy night in 2007, crammed in the back of a friend's Yaris Liftback, when I first heard it. I can't remember exactly where we were previous to that moment, when that raw melody first came in. All I can remember is how I suddenly became more aware of myself than ever before. Everything I knew about music, about artistry, about writing — all of it would change with that first overlap of beautiful melody. I was mesmerized, shaken from a stupor of conditioned knowledge and thrown into a concoction of John Cale's haunting strings with Lou Reed's candid crooning. By the time Maureen Tucker's drumming kicked in, sparse in its reverberation, my resolve would be just as stripped, replaced by a wily knot that would take years to untie. Though, right then, the song was just "fucking awesome." It would only be years later, waking up to a chilled October morning in 2013, that this memory would even begin to matter. As the headlines would come to read, "Lou Reed Dead at 71," so, too, would the horizon appear most clearly. I've always been a firm believer in the crossover of influences, the collaboration of mediums in shaping any sort of artistry. As a writer, I can proudly say that the recorded sound has had just as much influence on me as the written word. And when I heard the Velvet Underground for the first time, it became clear that they believed in a similar marriage, affirmed on the morning of Oct. 27. With the news of the passing of a legend came an onslaught of anecdotes from around the arts world, plastered against my computer screen. Amidst the mass of legends, one story stood out in particular. As according to Rolling Stone, it was 1965, and the first few months of the Velvet Underground playing under their iconic moniker. They had began a residency playing in New York's Café Bizarre and in the beginning stages of developing their distorted and chaotically composed sound. Management was set on having performers play more contemporary numbers, and warned the band not to play their original composition "Black Angel Death Song." They went on to perform the number anyway, fit with all the chilling accidentals in its string arrangements, and were fired immediately.Though they would emerge from that loss victorious (it led to their introduction to Andy Warhol, the man who would come to produce their record and put them on the map of the underground art scene of '60s New York), there was something bigger about that moment, something more pressing in my association with it. Incidentally, "Black Angel Death Song" was the first thing I clicked on Sunday morning when I heard the news of its writer's passing. The strings were suddenly more haunting, and the story seemed all the more important. It was yet another quintessential moment in the life of Lou Reed, a man who sang with unbridled frankness, who played with unencumbered passion, and who inspired me with the tirelessness of his dedication to honest expression. It transported me back, seven years and a lifetime ago, to that night in December 2007, when I first pricked my ears with another of his songs, that found, all at once, both comfort and chaos within itself. Though I'd spend the lapsed time between 2007 and 2013 finding appreciation for the 40-plus years of Reed's prolific career — from "Black Angel Death Song" and "All Tomorrow's Parties," through "Satellite of Love" and "Pale Blue Eyes" and even up until his Hudson River Wind Meditations — it would always be that compositions that would stay, forever imprinted in my mind."Heroin" became, for me, a love song to the in between — it was everything I'd been listening to up until that point and nothing I'd ever heard before; it was the sentimentality of Indie Rock, the calm before the double bass in hardcore, the simplistic, chord interplay of Punk and its cleaner cut cousin Pop. And, at the same time, it was also the recklessness of avant-garde, the soundtrack to the colors of an underground New York I'd only experience in preserved murals and snapshots. It was everything I'd known, and everything I would come to know about music, about art, about sound and about writing. There are moments that comprise your past, songs that take you to a memory you thought you'd left. And then there are moments that define your future, songs that propel you forward into infinity. Lou Reed, and what he accomplished before, with and after the Velvet Underground, stood as a symbol for finding freedom in ones composition, and pushing the statements made to work in a fashion of success. It was a lesson I would learn time and time again in my own work, as I moved through the progression of my writing and my own performance techniques. I would come to face my own obstacles, fight my own battles against normative expectations. And it would be in those times I fell the deepest, my resolve threatening to falter, that this education would come back to me, mysterious in its origins, all the while growing, like a backbone that stood rigid for honest experimentation and freedom in the composition. Even now, as this mystery's been unearthed, its inductor put to rest, ahead of me remains miles and miles of still shrouded possibility. But against that wall of lessons I'll stand, riveted, staring towards the looming unknown. And I'll try for a different kind of kingdom, if I can.

Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime with The Cliftones
March 15 • Bogart's

Sublime fans know: Everything changed in 1996. That was the year the band's frontman Bradley Nowell died. Since séances all over the states haven't succeeded in bringing Nowell back, fans can turn to Badfish. Badfish sounds a lot like the real thing, too; they're just lacking the creepy voice-clone guy at the mic. Badfish's added bonus: Their tickets are about half the price.
