Following their date announcement for the Under The Influence Tour, Wiz Khalifa and A$AP Rocky stopped by Live Nation to discuss the collaborative concert series. On different labels, from two different states, Rocky explained, "We're like two of a kind, from the same element. We're infatuated with marijuana, that's the obvious. For the most part, we share the same fans anyway. Most of my fans are his fans, most of his fans are my fans."
Asked about performing songs together on the tour, Wiz revealed the pair's possible plans to record together in conjunction with the dates. "We don't have any [songs] together yet, but we're gonna make some, and then perform them. And we're gonna make videos, and star in them."
This past weekend, Wiz Khalifa partnered with Curren$y to release Live In Concert, a digital EP.
The Under The Influence Tour begins July 17, in San Francisco, California.

text: I have not seen this before, but will be happy to have this thing for me if possible. I have Windows xp and I am having Intel Dual Core and with that I have 2 GB of RAM in the system. Now the thing is that I have one of my colleague who has the Apple MacBook Pro and in my windows I want that it look like a Mac os X because I like its view. So here I want to know that is there any feature through this I will be able to do like this. I will be happy to have that in my case. The appearance of Mac OS X was really awesome. The fact is that I will not have an exact copy due to legal problems. Can you please, all I suggest nothing. Any solution close to this will, too. I have seen some cases where Windows Vista was successful in doing that but I have not seen anything like this in Windows xp. Is it really possible here?

Chocolate Hazelnut BarkScience says snacking is good for you. The 5,000-subject-strong National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that people who ate snacks in addition to three meals a day had higher levels of nutrients in their diets.
Smart Homemade Snack: Dark chocolate with nuts (139 calories)
Benefits: Chocolate contains polyphenols and flavonoids, two types of antioxidants shown to help prevent damage caused by cholesterol in arteries.
Warm Cranberry-Walnut BrieDon't deny yourself. When Belgian researchers told 68 women to either enjoy or refuse their favorite snack, the refusers ate more of the forbidden snack once they were given the green light a day later. Sensible snacking helps you avoid bingeing.
Smart Choice: Baked brie with nuts and cranberries, plus whole-wheat crackers for dipping (188 calories)
Benefits: Warm, gooey brie satisfies a craving for creamy foods. Dried cranberries add antioxidants, and walnuts contribute heart-healthy fats and a nutty crunch.
Rosemary Roasted AlmondsPortion size matters, especially with some nutrient-rich, yet calorically dense snacks, such as almonds. Research has shown snackers will eat more if a larger portion is offered to them, so don't plop down on the sofa with a bag of snacks and tell yourself you'll stop at just a few. Measure out a serving, and enjoy.
Smart Homemade Snack: Almonds roasted with oil and spices (111 calories)
Benefits: Studies have shown that consuming small amounts of nuts regularly has been linked to reduced risk of heart disease. Plus antioxidants contained in the skin of whole almonds may play a role in reducing oxidative stress as well as LDL cholesterol.
Pecan Almond Peanut ClustersWhen you can't make your own snacks, shop wisely. Read nutrition labels, and opt for snacks with a shorter list of ingredients (with words you can pronounce). Not all packaged snacks are created equal, so our registered dietitians tested a bunch and chose their top picks for taste and nutrition.
RD-Approved Packaged Snack: True North Pecan Almond Peanut Clusters
Benefits: Satisfyingly crunchy and slightly sweet, contain just seven ingredients: peanuts, almonds, brown rice syrup, pecans, organic sugar, and sea salt. One serving has 170 calories, 11 grams of "good" fat, and just 75 milligrams of sodium.
VitatopsIn 2008, 190 new 100-calorie-pack products hit the market. They're great because they help satisfy cravings for tempting foods with smart portions. But not all are equally good for you. Here's one our registered dietitians approved as a good choice.
RD-Approved Packaged Snack: Vitatops
Benefits: Most of these muffin soft tops have about 100 calories, 4 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and all flavors are trans fat free.
Whole FruitFresh fruit is a no-brainer when it comes to healthful snacks. But it's easy to get stuck in the rut of buying the same fruits again and again. Avoid this habit by shopping for what's in season now. You'll enjoy ephemeral flavors plus nutritional variety as your choices change naturally throughout the year.
RD-Approved Store-Bought Snack: Whole fruit, in season
Benefits: A great source of fiber, whole fruit helps keep you feeling fuller longer. But don't drink your fruit. When Purdue researchers gave 20 people an apple, applesauce, or apple juice, those who drank their snack were the quickest to report being hungry.
PopcornSnack packs are big business. But not all 100-calorie treats are nutritional powerhouses. If you want something that satisfies, saves money, and offers a nutritional boost, make your own pre-portioned snacks. Here are a few of our dietitians' top suggestions.
100-Calorie Snack: 3½ cups 94% fat-free microwaveable popcorn
Benefits: Popcorn has a lot of bulk for its calories, so it helps fill you up. Plus, 3½ cups contains one of your three recommended daily servings of whole grains.
OlivesOlives deliver big flavor, yet they're relatively low in calories (one serving of five kalamata olives contains about 25 calories). The olive bar at some supermarkets typically offers a variety, so try different types to mix things up.
100-Calorie Snack: 1 1/3 ounces pitted olives
Benefits: This fruit satisfies a salty craving and supplies a decent amount of heart-healthy fats.
Hummus with CarrotsThis popular Middle Eastern treat is easy to find in most grocery stores and a perfect dip for many fresh veggies. Typically made with chickpeas, as in our Traditional Hummus recipe, it can also be made with soybeans, black-eyed peas, or other healthful legumes.
100-Calorie Snack: ¼ cup hummus with 4 carrot sticks
Benefits: Five grams of filling fiber mean you won't go hungry for a while.
EdamameAre you more inclined to snack in particular moods? Choosing foods with certain nutrients may give you a boost that junk food won't deliver. Here are a few of our RDs' picks.
Mood-Boosting Snack: ½ cup shelled edamame (100 calories)
Benefits: Folate-rich foods like edamame may even out moods: In a few small studies, people with higher levels of folate in their systems reported less mood variability.
Bagel with Peanut ButterWatch out for low-fat claims. Low-fat does not necessarily mean low-calorie. The label can give you a sense of false security, setting off over-eating. Treat low-fat foods like any others, and enjoy them in moderation. And remember, in some cases, such as peanut butter, the reduced-fat version is not necessarily healthier.
Mood-Boosting Snack: Half a 100% whole-grain bagel with 1 tablespoon peanut butter (240 calories)
Benefits: Carbohydrates trigger the release of feel-good chemicals. Pick quality carbs, like whole grains with fiber, for a longer-lasting high.
YogurtEating a snack with protein rather than just carbs can help curb hunger, keeping daily calories in check. Good options include an ounce of nuts or a small low-fat yogurt.
Mood-Boosting Snack: 8 ounces of low-fat plain yogurt (140 calories)
Benefits: Several studies link vitamin B12 deficiency to depression. While it's not an antidepressant, B12-rich low-fat yogurt might help lift a bad mood, and its live bacteria are your friends.

yo quiero aprender a tratar a mi hija sin hacerla sentir mal, sobre todo que mis otras hijas no piensen que les quito atencion
I have also had seizures as a part of me for awhile. I had my first one when I was 1.5. Just like you, I have not let Epilepsy hold me back. I have graduated from a four year University in four years in May 2012 with a 3.55 in my major and a 3.1 overall. I have had the honor of being chosen for Kids Speak Up as well. It is a great experience. I also have raised $7,200 for the Epilepsy Foundation. In one walk, out of the 50 letters I typed and sent, I got 49 positive responses.
Right now in my life, what you are doing is something I would love to do, either as a volunteer or more than that. How did you get involved in the first place? I am lost with who to call as there are so many people who are leaders in the organization.
Hi Trenton I just want to say continue to play your horn. That is a God given talent that not to many have. I can relate I have had seizures since I was four and I have been in the band for Fourteen Years. I play the Tuba, Trombone, and the Baritone. I have not let me Epilepsy stop me and I wish one day me and you could get together and play some music together.

Be that as it may, we should be a tiny bit more unequivocal about it. At whatever point you get a connection from only a WordPress footer or only an irregular footer or you know when. somebody introduces a gadget or they introduce some subject on their substance administration framework, it's regularly the case that they're not editorially deciding to interface with that stay content.
Thus you once in a while see a great deal of connections all with literally the same stay content in light of the fact that, you know, that is the thing that the gadget happened to have inserted in it or something to that effect. What's more, regardless of the fact that it's not literally the same grapple content, it's similar to a, you know, it's moderately inorganic as in the individual who made the gadget is choosing what the stay.

How much expense does clients have to suffer for getting social media platform?
This will become fully operational during the summer, taking over the responsibilities and staff currently employed by the Interim Committee for the area. For the Cairngorms, Ministers are still considering SNH's advice, some of which is likely to prove controversial, especially social media marketing tools on the proposed size of the Park and its Authority's planning powers. However if,Parliament decides to proceed with designation, a Park should be formally established during spring 2003.
While considerable energy during the last two years has gone into establishing Scotland's first National Parks, the major challenges for these areas now lie ahead. The UK's world-leading national trading scheme in greenhouse gas emission credits has been boosted by announcement of a first inter-company deal, although the system won't be formally launched until next April. Britain's scheme is unique in that it covers the whole economy and all six greenhouse gases controlled under the Kyoto protocol. The government is offering incentive payments to successful bidders in the auction in return for taking on voluntary emission ceilings.
Framework rules for the system were published in August. The UK government welcomed the deal, with environment minister Michael Meacher calling the trade "an important kick-start for the market". The country generates about 120 terawatt hours (TWh) in a normal year of rain but annual consumption is about 118 TWh and rising. Steensnaes said densely populated areas along Norway's western coast, in the central city Trondheim and around the capital Oslo in the southeast could be brought on stream for natural gas use in the years ahead.
But the minister said there would be no further gas-fired power plants before emissions-free technology becomes available apart from three facilities already approved. Steensnaes, who came to power on 19 October, also said he would fight to protect the environment despite his role as the oil and energy minister of oil-rich Norway. He said the government aimed to develop 3. 0 TWh of wind power and 4. 0 TWh of district heating based on environmentally friendly sources of power such as waste heat from industry and heat pumps, before 2010.

The ro-ro terminal, capable of handling three vessels simultaneously, will be built on the back of a 25-year agreement with the port's largest customer, Danish shipping line DFDS Tor Line. The facility reached a major milestone in June when it handled its 20 millionth tonne of cargo just four years after becoming operational in June 2000. It has been a good year for Immingham's riverside berth, Humber International Terminal, which handled higher volumes of cargo than in the first six months of 2003.
Two major riverside developments are set to become operational in mid-2006, representing an investment of over £70 million from ABP. These are exciting times for the Port of Grimsby & Immingham, and we are working with quality customers to build on our position as the UK's number-one port. best seo services sydney The UK's number-one port in tonnage terms, Associated British Ports' (ABP) Port of Grimsby & Immingham, has enjoyed a good first half of the year, with growth in key trades such as container traffic, coal imports, roll-on/roll-off(ro-ro) traffic and vehicle imports and exports.
ABP will invest £27.5 million in the new facility, and construction work will commence in Autumn this year. ABP has also reached a customer agreement at Immingham for the development of a new £0.5 million manufacturing plant for Whitemountain Roadstone Ltd, which will be built subject to Whitemountain receiving planning permission. In addition, a new service for Europe's largest solid wood-products company, Stora Enso Timber, recently commenced at Immingham, with Stora Enso Timber UK using Immingham as the UK port of entry for imports of wood products from the Nordic, Baltic and central European countries.
ABP is also investing £0.8 million in expanding a storage terminal at Immingham for Humber Timber Terminals, backed by a 10-year agreement. Immingham's forest-products trade was given a boost by the opening of a new £1.0 million storage terminal for Rowlinson Timber, supported by a 10-year agreement, in January. ABP Connect will also take delivery of a new Liebherr P98L gantry crane in Spring 2005 and has recently announced it is to invest a further £2.8 million in two rubber-tyre yard gantry cranes.
What kind of training is to be provided to content writer for creating successful website marketing ?
JD Wetherspoon launched its gourmet coffee product last year with a publicity campaign deriding the "rip-off" prices of its rivals.It claims to have picked up 6 per cent of the UK chain market already, with volumes matching the third-place operator, Caffè Nero. They are making no real inroads in the branded market, because they are selling a different proposition. McDonald's, despite all its investment in improving its coffee, has not been able to replicate the same lounging experience, while pubs are still viewed first and foremost as places for drinking.
Starbucks alone accounts for around 14 per cent of total global Fairtrade coffee imports, but in common with its biggest rivals, the beans used for basic Google Adwords Services espresso are purchased under its own code of conduct. While customers rate environmental concerns down the list of priorities, that situation is unlikely to change, according to Mr Young. Fairtrade has become a must-have on your menu, but it has little influence on consumer decisions.
While they like seeing the Fairtrade logo, they're simply not prepared to pay any more for it. Millions of these mortgage debts are pulled together, into collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), which are sold on to investors such as hedge funds. Last month, two hedge funds run by Bear Stearns admitted they had lost all of their value – a massive $20bn wipeout. Banks for Cerberus, the private-equity firm buying US car maker Chrysler, also postponed a $12bn fundraising.
It was a bloodbath in the markets yesterday as the FTSE 100 plunged 3 per cent – the biggest single fall for more than a year. Initially it seemed the integrated oil and gas companies were among the survivors, with BG Group at the top of the leaderboard at lunchtime. The company failed to survive the late wave of selling, and shed 19p by the end of the day to close at 769p.

On Thursday 3 June 2004, artwork by over 100 young people – from projects run throughout the UK by leading children's charity NCH – will go on display. The interactive – inspired by the gallery's new exhibition Art of the Garden – is part of Art Matters,award winning arts programme, run in partnership with Ernst & Young, which aims to develop the creative talents of young people supported by the chari. Until 30th August 2004, the young people's work can be seen at Tate Britain as part of a special installation.
The work has been animated and explores the young people's varied response to Art of the Garden – which has proved a great focus for this year's Art Matters initiative. Themes like 'The Secret Garden' have really inspired the young people – who have created some truly expressive art, which is also very thought provoking. The resulting display is interactive, digital and touch screen" Elisabeth added. In its fourth year, and through workshops, education sessions and gallery tours, Art Matters continues to enable young people to learn about art and express themselves – and as Elisabeth Monro explains. Art Matters has helped so many young people develop new skills and improve their self esteem.
It's tapped into new talent – even the young people who thought that art was just about paint and canvas – and it's a brilliant way to give young peop. Art Matters was born out of Ernst & Young's wish to strengthen and broaden its commitment to the arts and to the communities in Google advertising cost which it works. Through this partnership with NCH – and the work with Tate Britain – we are taking art to young people,giving them an innovative and creative opportunity to express themselves, while also breathing new life into art.

One way to use textures is if you have a program like photoshop or paint.net [which is free], add them as a layer over your picture. From there you can edit the properties in order to give your picture a cool and unique look!

Re: Wedding debt..
My ex-husband and I had very nice weddding that we paid for on our own. We paid cash for our wedding. We planned it over a year. The cost for the wedding was under $6,000. We didn't want for anything. With E-bay, costco for flowers, chocolate fountain, it was a beautiful wedding! We rented a hall. Had a DJ. Would I do it again? NO!!! I would have rather saved that money and eloped in Hawaii or Mexico or Lake Tahoe! The reason why he is a EXHUSBAND, because we never could trust eachother when it came to finances! A wedding is for one day, a marriage lasts a lifetime! Talk about your finances, your family, religion, and your fears. Do you trust each other? What if? What if you can't work? What if she gets sick? Will you still be there for her?

After a miserable 2012 season, it was clear that the Boston Red Sox needed to make some necessary adjustments to re-emerge as a contender in the competitive AL East.
After firing manager Bobby Valentine, the Red Sox have used a different approach to free agency this season. Instead of committing a lot of money and years to players only to wind up paying for underachieving talent like they did in the past with players such as Carl Crawford, John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka, they are overpaying second-tier free agents to shorter-term deals.
While their old method of signing lucrative long-term deals was somewhat ineffective, it appears that their current approach will not work out as a successful solution.
So far this offseason, Boston has agreed to terms with some decent free agents such as Shane Victorino, Ryan Dempster and Mike Napoli as well as some less expensive options like David Ross, Jonny Gomes and Koji Uehara.
Although these moves are less risky than their past commitments, they also will provide little reward.
Victorino was largely unimpressive last season. Hitting .255/.321/.383 with 11 home runs, his numbers actually decreased after a midseason trade sent him to the Los Angeles Dodgers. At age 32, Victorino isn't getting any better, and the Red Sox essentially just committed three years and $39 million to witness his decline.
Boston agreed to terms with another disappointing player in Mike Napoli. Last season, Napoli hit just .227/.343/.469 with 24 home runs. Although the Red Sox are banking on last year being the exception rather than the norm, this is by no means a guarantee, and three years and $39 million is a lot of money to commit to someone coming off of a season featuring his worst batting average of his career, especially given that he is 31. While Napoli could certainly bounce back, injuries might derail the catcher-first baseman hybrid and leave the Red Sox searching for answers.
How would you grade this free agency for the Boston Red Sox so far?
The Red Sox's starting rotation last year was abysmal. The pitching staff as a whole finished the 2012 season 27th in the league in ERA and quality starts, 23rd in WHIP and 24th in batting average against.
Adding Dempster will not resolve this glaring issue.
Although Dempster proved to be a reliable starter for the Chicago Cubs, his stock plummeted after a midseason trade to the Texas Rangers. After being traded into the formidable AL West, his stats ballooned to a 5.09 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP, allowing 10 home runs in just 12 appearances. The Red Sox did only give him a two-year contract, but at age 35 this might be the beginning of the end for Dempster.
I do like the low-key moves that Boston has made. I think Jonny Gomes can be an effective fourth outfielder, and David Ross will provide a consistent defensive catcher. On just a one year pact, Koji Uehara could help provide some bullpen depth.
While these low-risk moves seem like solid acquisitions, none of them are propelling the Red Sox to the top of the standings by any means.
I understand the Red Sox do not want to commit a ton of money to a high-risk situation, such as five years of Josh Hamilton. I also completely understand why they haven't been swinging trades to get better, as they want to retain their young assets.
However, overpaying for overrated players will keep the Red Sox in 70 win territory.
In a division featuring the consistent Yankees, the surprising Orioles, the persistent Rays and the new-look Blue Jays, it seems evident that the Red Sox will once again reside in the bottom of the barrel.

A Franklin man stood at the top of the stairs of his apartment and fired his shotgun down the staircase at a burglar during the second break-in on consecutive nights.
Franklin police are now looking for the burglar who broke into the apartment in the 1600 block of Crescent Street about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The resident, Jacob Hayes, 27, first called police Monday evening to report that someone had broken into his apartment the previous night and stolen a wallet containing cash and a driver's license, Franklin Police Lt. Kerry Atwood said. The person had pushed open the back door of the home in order to get in, Atwood said.
When Hayes went to bed Monday night, he placed a large metal tool box in front of the door to help keep it shut, Atwood said. About 1:30 a.m., he woke up because he heard the door knob being jiggled and then heard the tool box slowly sliding across the floor, Atwood said.
Hayes grabbed a 20-gauge shotgun. When he got to the top of the staircase in the apartment, he saw a man walking toward the bottom of the stairs and told him to freeze. The man took one step up the stairs, and Hayes fired. The shot missed the man and hit the front door of the apartment, Atwood said.
The suspect ran away and was last seen running north from the apartment toward Schoolhouse Road. Hayes' girlfriend, who was in the house at the time, called police.
Police did not find any blood at the bottom of the stairs, so Hayes likely missed the man despite the staircase being narrow, Atwood said.
Franklin police brought a police dog to the house to try to track the burglar, but the dog was not able to pick up a scent, Atwood said.
Officers are continuing to investigate and have some suspects, he said. No one has been arrested.
Hayes wasn't able to get a good look at the intruder but told police he was wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt and jeans, was about 6 feet tall and weighed about 180 pounds.
Anyone with information about the break-ins should contact Franklin Police Department at 736-3670.

Bus service a winner
Relevant offers
Nelson City Council's new Nelson to Richmond NBus service is winning praise from passengers, cyclists, drivers and people with disabilities.
The improved service's four brand new Chinese-built buses feature bike holders, technology that allows the vehicles to "kneel" and ramps for wheelchairs and push chairs.
The yellow bike holders on the front of each bus can carry two bikes each. Cyclists are responsible for loading and unloading their bikes and to help them get familiar with the holders, cyclists are invited to practise loading and unloading their bikes at the Bridge St bus depot this Saturday from 10am till 12noon.
Chair of Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust David Bonnett said the racks were very easy to use.
"It's great to have this facility to put bikes on buses to allow better integration between cycling and public transport.
"I encourage everyone who is interested to give it a try," he said.
Bus driver Dave Brown said the new vehicles were "right up there" and passengers had been praising them for their roominess and comfort.
"People find them really easy to get on and off. The fact there are no steps is huge," he said.
Dave said the buses' air conditioning was "very good" and they offered useful big luggage racks for things like pushchairs, along with spaces for wheelchairs.
Dave also likes the way they drive.
"They're very smooth. When I first looked at them, the length of them was scary but they handle really well," he said.
The ease of getting on and off the new buses has impressed Nelson man Don McLennan who has mobility issues.
A regular user of the service, Don wasn't a big fan of the old buses.
"I could get on them but getting off them was like coming down Niagara Falls," he said.
Don said the new buses were "really good news" for the elderly and people with disabilities.
"Look at the width of the door, it's magnificent," he said.
Nelson City Council infrastructure portfolio holder councillor Gail Collingwood said improving public transport had been high on the list of resident's requests for many years.
We're delighted to be able to start delivering that improved service now and can only hope that Nelson people take the chance to use the service and make sure it will be viable into the future," she said.
Gail said the level of service provided by the new NBus fleet would be a great incentive for commuters to give it a try.
"They'll enjoy the benefits of a relaxing trip to and from work and help reduce the number of vehicles on our roads," she said.
The service now sees buses running every 15 minutes between Nelson and Richmond in peak times and every 30 minutes off peak.
The services alternate via Tahunanui and Bishopdale and operate for more hours each day.

Reviews have landed for Roman Polanski's Carnage, playing at the Venice Film Festival. Here's our report on Day Two (including W.E. and Carnage reviews). Polanski's film is an adaptation of Yasmena Reza's popular French play, God of Carnage, which most recently played at Los Angeles' Ahmanson theater with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden. That's a stellar cast to top. The difference here is that Polanski's equally impressive cast of Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly shot the play on film (though it's not necessarily very cinematic), and were stuck ...Read More »

A lot of folks expected Working Title's John le Carre thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to wind up with a key New York Film Festival slot. In fact, it was in the running for opening night, but Focus and the NYFF weren't able to come to terms on exactly who (Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy are both currently filming The Dark Knight Rises) would show up for the glamorous black tie Lincoln Center event on September 30. Talent availability is a killer factor in these negotiations.

Americans Still Struggle to Keep Work out of Play
Burn, Timothy, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Many employees begin struggling at work with recurring daydreams about the Big Vacation this time of year.
The imagination takes hold. You are no longer at your desk facing a computer but in an Adirondack chair, gazing across a shimmering lake at dusk as a heavy red sun plays its last rays over distant mountaintops.
Your everyday office coffee mug, too, has been transformed. It is a tall glass beaded with condensation with a straw and a festive paper umbrella. Its contents, fresh from the blender, include chunks of mango and pineapple, cranberry juice cocktail, crushed ice and a liberal dollop of dark rum.
"Darn it Smithers! If you don't stop staring at that calendar and get back to work you'll be looking at a permanent vacation!" screams the boss as he catches you once again thinking and plotting the perfect vacation on company time.
Even though they are entitled, many Americans view vacations as a guilty pleasure. You spend months thinking and planning for it, but once the vacation happens some feel restless and out of place.
That angst leads some vacationers to bring work with them on vacation. It leads others to turn their vacations into a form of work, such as driving cattle on a dude ranch.
This need to structure vacations into a worklike experience dates back to America's start as a nation, says Cindy Aron, professor of history at the University of Virginia and author of a new book, "Working at Play: A History of Vacations in the United States."
"America's tension between work and vacation has its roots in our Puritan beginnings," said Mrs. Aron.
Puritan officials discouraged not only idleness and sloth, but also any amusements that were deemed unproductive or morally suspect, she said.
"A lot of the tension continued to build in the 19th century when the middle class expanded and more Americans began to feel entitled to a little time off."
Middle-class America was built on the notion that success comes from being disciplined, hard-working and sober. These were the attributes that allowed people to earn the right to vacations, but going on that vacation threatened those jobs, she added.
To this day, the tension between work and vacation remains imbedded in the minds of U.S. workers, even as leisure has evolved over the years.
"The history of vacations reveals a constant tension between the desires and needs of would-be vacationers and what the culture, at any specific moment, determined are acceptable," Mrs. …

I Olean Democrat VOL. XIII. OLEAN. CATTARAUGUS CO. NEW YORK. TUES DAY, JANUARY 3 1. 1893- NO 96 TEOOPS ORPEHEP OUT THE STRIKE SITUATION AT DUNKIRK BECOMING ALARMING. CONG SESSIONAL FORECAST. Intense Excitement Prevails and Trouble of the Most Serioiii Character Autic- Eutertalned that Dunkirk j May be Turned Into a Second Home- stead Two of the New Men Are Roughly Handled by the Strikers. DUNKIRK, Jan. 1 o'clock yester- day morning Sheriff Jenner of Chautau- qua county came to the conclusion that strike at the Brooks Locomotive works had become so serious as to warrant his on Brigadier General Doyle for A telegram was accordingly sent Doyle asking Mm for military and a reply was received that the Thirteenth Separate company of Jamestown had been ordered under arms and -would proceed to Dunkirk in the morning. The message also stated that additional troops would be sent here from Buffalo. There is intense excitement here and trouble of the most serious character is anticipated. A VEET SERIOUS AFFAIR. The Brooks people evidently intend to bring in a force of men sufficient to run the works, and in view of the fact that the strikers have threatened to prevent the operations the troops have been asked lor. The streets were filled with people anx- iously awaiting the expected trouble. The depots swarm with men, while crossings In the suburbs are closely watched. The call ior state troops by Sheriff Jen- ner to protect the Brooks Locomotive Works makes the strike, which began one month ago. and which the Brooks officials then called an insignificant matter, now a Very serious affair.' The strike was caused by the riveters in the boiler department refusing to work under two contractors named Kane and McNamara, alleging in human treatment on the part of the two contractors. They left the works without Btating their grievances, which were after- ward presented. The lack of boilers made it necessary to lay off the men in the other departments, and now about 600 men are out of employment in consequence. APPEALED FOB PROTECTION. The Brooks people engaged Philadel- phia men to take the strikers' places and brought them here by special train. The new mea were hurried inside the gates at the works before the strikers could inter- fere. The new men are quartered inside the works and do not go outside the gates. President Hinman received private in- formation that threats had been made against the works and against the em- ployes and the protection of Sheriff Jen- ner was asked. That official at once appealed to General Doyle at Buffalo for state troops in case they were needed. President Hinman that this was done as a precautionary measure to guard against an emergency, but hopes it may not arise. Two of the new men ventured outside the enclosure of the works and were set upon and severely handled. The call for troops has caused much ex- citement and the people fear that Dun- kirk may be turned into a second Home- stead. At an early hour this morning it was stated by the deputy sheriff that Sheriff Jenner was satisfied that he could now get along without the assistance of the troops. The strikers waited on the sheriff and promised him that no act of violence would be countenanced by them and that nothing is further from their thoughts than violence. What Governor Flower Says. ALBANT, Jan. 10 o'clock last night Governor Flower said he had had no communication from General Doyle of Buffalo regarding the ordering out of the troops to Dunkirk. The governor added that General Doyle and the sheriff of Chautauqua county had all the authority necessary to call the troops in that section of the state to the scene of the strike if necessity demands such action. Adjutant General Porter is in New York, but will be here today. Assistant Adjutant Gen- eral Phisterer has not yet learned officially of the ordering out of the troops. Eight Sew Cases of Typhus. NEW YOKE, Jan. fever has appeared at Belle-cue hospital and the property has been placed under quaran- tine.

As soon ab the sun- dry civil bill is passed the general de- ficiency, the consular and diplomatic, the military academy, the pension and the postoffice appropriation bills, all of which are now on the calendar, will be taken up. This will leave only three of the six of the appropriation bills unacted on by the house. Two of these bills, the Indian and the agricultural, are expected to be re- ported before the appropriation measures now on the calendar are out of the way. The naval bill should follow close on their heels. _________________ MR. CLEVELAND INTERVIEWED. He Is Pressed for Time and Shall Re- main at ILakewood Until March 4. IiAKEWOOD, Jan. an interview yesterday with a reporter Mr. Cleveland said: "The date is now at hand when I must have more time to myself than I have had since the election. Thus far the most of my time has been devoted to in- terviews which have been by no means unpleasant nor unprofitable, but other things are now pressing upon me which require my uninterrupted consideration. "I wish, therefore, you would say for me through the press that I shall be at my office in New York every day with per- haps one exception during the week com- mencing with Jan. 30, and that after Feb. 41 shall remain at Lakewood, where I hope to be undisturbed in the work which will imperatively demand my attention. I also especially desire it to oe understood that from now until March 4 letters should be addressed to me at the Mills building, New York." ________ Cabinet Speculation. LAKEWOOD, N. J., Jan. 30. It was learned yesterday that thus far Mr. Cleve- land had filled only two positions in his cabinet with any certainty; they were Mr. Carlisle for the treasury and Mr. Lament for the navy. From one who is in very close touch with Mr Cleveland it was learned that the president-elect would in all probability select his former law partner, Wilson S. Bissell of Buffalo, for the attorney generalship. Among others who it is said are being considered for cabinet positions by Mr. Cleveland are Governor Gray of Indiana, Senator Morgan of Alabama, Governor Russell of Massachusetts, Hoke Smith of Georgia, Patrick Collins of Massachusetts and Don M. Dickinson of Michigan. Mr. Harrity aud Hensel returned to Philadelphia today. CARVED CONVICTS. Bloody Affray In the Mesa Room of the State Prison at Sing Sing. SrSG N. Y., Jan. Arnold, Charles Smith and Charles Wer ner, three convicts in Sing Sing prison had a desperate fight in the mess room. The three men were waiters. Just before the convicts entered for dinner Smith told Werner to put bread on the tables for the prisoners. AVerner refused, and when the dispute was referred to Keeper Rogers he told Werner to do the work. Smith then taunted Werner by saying: "You wil[ have to do it after all." Werner became infuriated and began slashing Smith with a bread knife. The knife stiuck Smith on the wrist, nearly severing it. Arnold jumped to Smith's as- sistance a id was also cut on the shoulder, head and face. When Werner saw what he had done he ran out of the building in Principal Keeper Counanghton's office and surrendered himself. He was placed in a dark cell and the other men were taken to the hospital. The Mohican Sails for Honolulu. SAX FEASCISCO, Jan. United States flagship Mohican, Admiral Sker- ritt, sailed yesterday for Honolulu. The Ranger is expected to leave at any mo- ment and the Adams will leave tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. the steamer City of Pekin changed to alarm among: the friends of the gers. The steamer was due from Hong Kong and Yokohama last Tuesday.

EVIDENCES OF DEEP AND SINCERE GRIEF SHOWN BY ALL CLASSES. rhe Services Simple and Unostentatious, In Accordance with the Expressed De- sire of the Great Statesman The Re- mains Laid to Rest In Oak Hill Cem- etery Where His Son aud Daughter Sleep. WASHINGTON, Jan. today's sad event one of the most striking figures in Ihe history of our country becomes a memory. On every hand are seen evi- dences of the deep gloom which has sefc- bled on the country, and here in particu- lar, where the dead statesman was a fa- miliar figure to all. the deep grief of the community is strikingly apparent. The streets along which the cortege moved were filled with an orderly mass of men, women and children, who stood in the chilly air with uncovered heads as the body was slowly born by. SIMPLE AND UNOSTENTATIOUS. In accordance with the expressed desire of Mr. Elaine, the funeral was unostenta- tious and of the most simple character. Only the members of the family and most intimate friends were present at the ser- vices at the Blaine residence, which were very simple. In a few well-chosen words Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, D. D., paid a graceful tribute to the memory of the deceased, and offered prayer. The body reposed in a casket very similar to the one in which the re- mains of Mrs. Harrison were conveyed to their last resting place. Plain and simple in appearance, and devoid of any show or ostentation. It was constructed of red cedar and was covered with black cloth, suxrouneed on the outside with extension silver bar handles, and on the inside the casket was lined with full tufted satin. The solid silver plate on the top contained the following inscription: JAMES GILLESPIE BLAI2JE, BORN JAJOJARY 31, 1830. DIED JANUARY 2T, 1893. The face of the dead ex-secretary ap- peared natural, although the marks of patient suffering were stamped on the thin arid attenuated features. Immedi- ately after the services at the house were concluded the body was borne to the Church of the Covenant, rhe honorary pallbearers being: "Senators W. P. Frye and Eugene Hale of Maine and John T. Morgan of Alabama, Representatives Thomas B. Reed and C.. A. Boutelle of Maine, Robert R. Hitt of Illinois and Henry H.

The in the vicinity of the church were lit packed with a struggling mass of humanity. The scene as the cas- ket was borne into the church was of a most impressive character. With heads uncovered and voices stilled the vast crowd paid their sileat tribute to the dead. The floral decorations at the church were under the charge of George H. Brown, public gardener. There was. palms and ferns from the agricultural department and botanical gardens i.nd cut flowers from the propagating gardens in the de- partment of the engineer in charge of public buildings and grounds of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The floral tributes were magnificent in the extreme. Many of them being sent from a distance. The family, pall-bearers, President Har- rison and cabiuet, Vice President Morton, Governor Cleaves of Maine and the more intimate friends of the deceased occupied seats in the center of the church. The diplomatic corps and the judges of the supreme court were seated on the right of the pulpit, and senators and representa- tives on the left. Personal friends to the number lof sixty- five were present from various parts of the country. Mrs. Garfield was present and others from cities as widely separated as Portland, Me., and Omaha. The state of M.'ine had a delegation of fourteen, the Union League club of New York were represented by twenty-five members, as was aKo the Union League club of Phil- adelphia, who a deli of twenty. Altogether 10'> or more of the representa- tives were present.

Afterward in the lobby Deroulede re- peated the words. A challenge was the result. The two men fought with consid- erable vindictiveness, Pichon, who is a co- laborator with M.

THE SENTIMENT RAPIDLY EXTEND- JNG THAT WAY. Several of the Cabinet JExpreM Being In Faror of Ac- cepting: the an Inter- view with the Hawaiian Minister He Queen Will Not Up Without a Struggle, "WASHINGTON, Jan. are some important developments in the Hawaiian situation. First it is pretty clearly indi cated that the administration is not in any way lukewarm in the matter, as was at first supposed. Second, the action of the commander of the Boston, against which Great Britain is about to file or has filed a formal protest, has received the official approval of the president and his cabinet. The sentiment in favor of annexing is rapidly extending. Several members of the cabinet have expressed themselves as being in favor of accepting the proposi- tion, but as the action necessary to ac- complish annexation must come as well from the legislative as executive branch of ths. government, these declarations do not in themselves amount to more than the expression of opinion of private citi- zens. The matter will doubtless be con- sidered at the cabinet meeting today, but of course nothing will be decided upon then except probably to arrange for the reception of the Hawaiian annexation commissioners upon their arrival in this city next Friday. It has been reported that President Har- rison is in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. T here is in support of this state- ment the president's well known policy of Americanism, which has for its object the enlargement of the sphere of usefulness and activity of this nation. His action on the part taken in the rev- olution by the United States officials and forces may also be regarded as proof of the correctness of the report. Although the course pursued by Minister Stevens in ordering the Boston's marines on shore was without explicit instructions from his government, his action has been fully ap- proved by the president. In an interview upon the Hawaiian sit- uation Dr. Mott Smith said he thought a dual protectorate by the "United States and Great Britain over the islands would be the-natural outcome. "There will be a great amount of diplo- matic conferences and negotiations over the matter. One thing is certain. The queen and Hawaii are not to be wiped out without a struggle to keep going. The government has been organized for over fifty years and has always been able to take care of itself." "If the United States refused to annex the islands, do you think England would seize "I do hot think England would do any- thing in a forceful way. The Hawaiian government, however, would have to seek an alliance somewhere. If refused annex- ation it would probably have to ask the protection of America or England, and if the former turned a cold shoulder one can eee no reason why England should refuse to assume such. If the population was of a homogenous people they could sustain themselves under the new form of govern- meut. But there are so many nationali- ties that divisions, disputes and conten- tions would arise that would result in bloodshed. As to the queen, if the United States annexes the islands, she would be treated in a way worthy of her station and probably granted an allowance." In the senate there is a distinctively American feeling on the Hawaiian ques- tion which is not confined to any party. There can be no doubt that the majority of the members of the foreign relations committee look with favor upon the estab- lishment of American domination on the islands, but in just what shape is a mat- ter of detail that has not yet been con- sidered, The general sentiment among the mem- bers of the to be that the United States should annex the Hawaiian islands now that it has been invited to do so, but there are exceptions to this view. The News ConGrmed in England. LONDON, Jan. charge d'affaires of the Hawaiian legation, has received official news confirming the re- port of a revolution in the Hawaiian islands and the dethronement of Queen lalliuoaklani. The Hawaiian representa- tive visited Lord Rosebery at the foreign office to discuss the situation with him.

Lord Rosebery also hinted that England, France and Ger- many would not be likely to consent to the Annexation of the Hawaiian islands by the United The Princess Victoria Kavekiu Kaiulani Lamalilo Kalaninuiabilpaltapa, heiress to the Hawaiian throne, has also received dispatches from her aunt containing a record of recent events- Waat a German Paper Saya.

My Best Tips for Power Cooking Sessions & Freezer Meal Preparation
Freezer Friendly Advice from Jessica Fisher
Having a stash of freezer meals on hand is a great way to save money on food costs and enjoy home cooked meals when you're too tired to get yourself to the kitchen. While it might take some planning and effort, the benefits far outweigh the costs.
Believe it or not, you don't need any fancy packaging machine or a deep freeze in order to make meals for the freezer. You don't have to spend all day doing it, either. Preparing freezer meals simply involves a little know-how, some good containers or wraps, and a refrigerator with a freezer compartment.

Work crews will continue clearing roads today. Currently, all interstates are passable with at least one lane open to traffic. GDOT crews continue working in the interior lanes of the interstate and conditions are hazardous in those lanes. Please utilize the outside lane as you travel today as GDOT crews work to clear the inside lanes.
Abandoned vehicles are hampering clean-up efforts. Ice removal cannot occur while vehicles are scattered all over the roadway. Often vehicles are in the travel lanes of the interstates. GDOT implores motorists to remove abandoned vehicles as soon as possible from interstates and state routes.
GDOT crews continue battling ice through the day shift. Routes recently cleared or with crews on them at this time include:
· I- 285 at Cascade Road
· I 20 at Sigmund Road
· SR 400 from SR 20 to the Downtown Connector
· SR 10 Loop at Chase Street in Athens
Extreme caution is urged for those driving on the roadways. Please slow down and utilize the outside lanes of interstates and state routes.

How we support people
We work out the best way to support people as individuals, rather than trying to fit people into existing services.
We involve the people we support in designing their support packages, and we consult them regularly to see if they're happy with the service they get from us:
We support people with a learning disability to find paid work, or volunteering or other daytime opportunities that they will enjoy.
- We want to find good work opportunities for people with a learning disability and support them into employment.
- We introduce new ways of working all the time. Mencap Now is a new scheme that is completely person-led. It supports people to get the life they want - planning what they want to happen in their future, and then supporting them to make it happen.
- We support people with a learning disability to have a home that they choose and support that meets their needs.
- We are supporting more and more people in their own homes rather than in care homes.

rate fluctuations. This problem has been accentuated over the past 15 years as we have observed several episodes of exchange rate overshooting relative to purchasing power parity. For example, during the 1980s and early 1990s, the U.S. dollar moved for several years in one direction against the currencies of the other major industrial nations, before beginning its correction relative to purchasing power parity.
Traditionally, a company's exchange rate exposure has been viewed as consisting of cash flow and translation dimensions. The cash flow dimension in turn has two components: flows that are "contractual," called transactions exposures; and flows that are noncontractual in nature and usually longer term in time perspective. The latter cash flow effects we identify as "operating" exposures (also known as "economic" or "competitive" exposures). Operating exposure effects occur as unexpected changes in exchange rates alter the firm's input costs and the revenue derived from product sales. The effects of exchange rate changes will depend upon the firm's underlying supply and demand elasticities in the input and product markets, as well as competitor reactions in these markets.
The translation dimension arises in an accounting context and focuses on the balance sheet value of the parent company's equity. Balance sheet magnitudes can be affected by changes in the value of foreign currency assets and liabilities, when restated in the parent's home currency. As this exposure concept arises from accounting procedures, the exposure per se does not have cash flow implications. Under FAS 52 (the current rate method), this change is not recorded in the income statement of the MNC, but rather flows directly to a special equity account in the consolidated statement of the parent corporation. 2 It is unusual for companies operating under FAS 52 and similar current rate accounting approaches to hedge translation exposures. Surveys indicate that few MNCs hedge this exposure dimension; for example, see Johnson ( 1995). Accordingly, the focus in this chapter is on foreign exchange rate effects arising from transaction and operating exposures.
Regarding transaction exposures, the traditional view is that financial instruments (e. g., forward exchange contracts) can be used to offset transaction exposures. This works only when the maturity of the hedging contract matches the company's decision horizon, as in the case of a single short-term transaction. Most MNCs, however, have foreign currency cash flows that are regular, frequent, certain and that arise from the normal pattern of business. Because these flows are ongoing for the foreseeable future, the MNC has essentially a long-term exposure which cannot be addressed using the traditional financial hedging approaches. For example, in the case of an MNC facing a long term declining foreign exchange rate, the company must reset its six-month hedges at the lower exchange rate at the end of each consecutive six-month contract period. Where MNCs face long cycle exchange rate trends, transaction exposures will come to have a character similar to operating exposures.
One reason for the limited success of several previous studies may be their use of aggregation across companies. By nature, foreign exposure is highly company specific, with considerable differences among the companies. When a

Cape Verde is made up of an archipelago of ten main islands including Sal, due south of the Canaries and hundreds of miles west of the African continent. Colonised by Portugal since the 15th century it is now independent but still has close links with Portugal and the EU. Its currency the Escudo is pegged to the Euro and Portuguese as well as Creole (a mix of Portuguese and African) are its official languages, although English and European languages are increasingly spoken.
It is now recognised as one of the new top destinations around the world. And it's not surprising given the relaxed atmosphere, stunning beaches and year-round sun (tempered by a cooling trade wind breeze). It's the Caribbean without the expense or jet-lag, the Canaries without the concrete or the crowds, the tropics but close to home.
Near to your townhouse, you have the best that Sal has to offer. Santa Maria, with its mix of old and new, its cobbled streets and pastel-coloured buildings, provides a variety of restaurants where you can sample new dishes (with Portuguese, Creole and Brazilian influences) and old favourites (English and Italian) and of course fantastic, fresh seafood.
Or check out the shops and stalls where you can find colourful clothes, hand-made jewellery, paintings and ornaments.
Try a restaurant or cafe for a cool beer or a coffee while watching the world go by or perhaps a stroll down to the pier to see the fishermen bring in their catches? You could buy some at a bargain price to cook that evening. Or perhaps a visit to the nearby turtle sanctuary.
Other activities to enjoy include fishing, swimming or quad biking. There are full or half day yacht excursions, there are also power boat trips or you can take a shorter trip in a glass bottomed boat that looks just like a yellow submarine!
You can take land excursions around the island by Jeep or minibus – the jeep trips go cross-country over Sal's 'lunar landscape' and are particularly good fun. These trips will take you to places like the colourful fishing port of Palmeira, to Buracona's famous 'Blue Eye' lagoon, to the island capital of Espargos and the impressive salt lakes of Pedra de Lume set in a huge extinct volcanic crater where you can experience 'weightless' floating in the shallow lakes.
Of course you can also hire a car or 4X4 and explore the island independently (and ther's plenty of local taxis). And if you want to see more of Cape Verde there are short, island-hopping flights to Santiago or to the dramatic scenery of the island of Fogo.
If this all sounds far too energetic, just hire yourself a sunbed, buy yourself a nice cool drink, and RELAX!!
