Additional info
Wheelchair access to 98% of the Museum. A loan service is available for Wheelchairs, Mobility Seats, Magnifiers and Water Bowls. (£20 returnable deposit). Handling sessions can be organised for partially sighted and blind visitors. 10 minute pre-sessions are available for most events. For further details, please call 0161 606 0156.
Our collections are Designated by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council as being 'pre-eminent collections of national and international importance'. We also provide access to about a third of our reserve collections through our on-site Collections Centre.
This museum's Designated collections are highly focused on the science and industry of the North West and, as a result of the region's pre-eminent role in industrial history, are often of national and international significance. The wealth of archival material is particularly significant. For example, the electricity industry collections illustrating the context, development and impact of electricity on people's lives, are underpinned by the records for the industry donated by the Electricity Council in 1986. The museum has been recognised with numerous awards for the restoration and interpretation of its historic site, Liverpool Road Station, which is the oldest railway station in the world.
The Museum uses its collections to tell the story of Manchester as the world's first industrial city. We mainly collect objects that were made or used in the Manchester area. We also hold archives relating to people and companies from the region. We collect items from the present, as well as the past, in order to portray Manchester's continuing story.
Our object collections range from familiar domestic appliances to unfamiliar manufacturing machinery and scientific instruments. We also collect vehicles, office equipment, models, memorabilia, awards, architectural materials, archaeological finds and, occasionally, works of art. Our collections of business and personal archives include minute books, letters, trade literature (such as catalogues and manuals), engineering drawings and photographs. We also collect textile samples and pattern books, prints, paintings and audiovisual and sound recordings, including oral and video histories.

Relive the Peterloo Massacre and explore other major events in Manchester's history in this gallery. The Making of Manchester tells the story of Manchester from Roman Times to the present day.
Exhibits range from the personal to the ceremonial and from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Manchester kept a medieval form of local government until 1838, illustrated here by standard weights and measures used by Manor of Manchester inspectors to check market trade.
Given city status in 1853, Manchester developed a strong sense of civic pride. You can see unique items relating to the Manchester Ship Canal, one of the great British civil engineering achievements of the nineteenth century. The city's recent history is represented by a traffic light from the Market Street-Cross Street junction, damaged by the blast from the bomb planted by the IRA in 1996.

1) Does your mouth feel like it has:
A. Plenty of saliva
B. Less than the optimum amount; it often feels dry
We tend to produce less saliva as we grow older, says Michael Rafael Moreno, MD, author of The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging. But sufficient saliva is important because it is the first step in digesting—or breaking down—food. So our digestion becomes less efficient as we age.
2) Immediately after eating a small meal, do you feel:
A. Satisfied
B. Overly full
Stomach acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCL) help break down proteins and certain minerals. Levels can dip as we age, which hampers digestion and causes belching and bloating even after small meals, says Elizabeth Boham, MD, a physician and registered dietitian in Lenox, Mass.
3) Do you regularly take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) like aspirin or ibuprofen?
A. No
B. Yes
Regularly tossing back high levels of NSAIDs (every once in a while is fine) puts you at risk for ulcers—a treatable condition you and your doctor should be on the alert for.
4) Do you get recurring welts on your calves or arms?
A. No
B. Yes
These are stealth symptoms for Crohn's, an inflammatory bowel disease that has a second peak (after young adulthood) in midlife. While sufferers are typically clued in by gastrointestinal problems, "some people will develop telltale welts on their skin months or years beforehand," says Arun Swaminath, MD, a gastroenterologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan.
TOTAL Bs: _____
If you checked one or more B's, keep reading for slow-down-the-clock strategies.
"As you get older, there's wear and tear in the digestive organs, and that affects your ability to absorb nutrients and eliminate wastes," says Moreno. "Still, you have a lot of control over how well your system works. You can make the changes that come with age much less impactful." Chief strategies: Be physically active everyday, which helps make digested food move at the right pace through your digestive tract and is especially important for preventing constipation; eat 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day, to maintain soft stools; and stay hydrated, which will make your mouth less dry and can help prevent hard stools.
Other solutions:
• Take probiotics.
These are filled with "friendly" bacteria that can crowd out trouble-making bugs in your large intestine. You can use the over-the-counter pills (such as Align, Culturelle or Pearls) daily to promote a smooth-functioning gut or as needed to treat garden-variety bloating, diarrhea and constipation, says Duke gastroenterologist Melissa Garrett, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. "Probiotics, when consumed according to the package directions, can work miracles, and there's little they can't do when it comes to digestive health," Moreno says. There are no head-to-head studies to show that a particular brand works better. "But they're all very good," Garrett says.
•Don't overuse antacids.
These acid-neutralizing meds are great when you have indigestion. But taking them frequently can change the way your gut digests food and often causes diarrhea. "Stomach acid is there for a reason—it's the first step in digestion," Garrett says. If you're taking antacids more than twice a week, check in with your doctor and get a definitive work-up for your symptoms. You may find you have another condition entirely, one that renders antacids unnecessary.
• Stock up on apple cider vinegar.
If you're having trouble digesting food and suspect you're low on stomach acid (after eating, you experience bloating, belching and gas, and you feel full after even small meals), sip one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water during meals, or add the vinegar to your salad dressing, says nutritionist and physician Elizabeth Boham. Or swallow a 350- to 750 mg capsule of the supplement Betaine HCL/pepsin, available in natural health shops, while you're eating.

EUGENE, Ore. – No. 4 Oregon used commanding performances in the hammer and 5,000 meters to jump out to a 17-1 lead in its men's dual meet with No. 2 Arkansas before 6,423 Friday night at Historic Hayward Field.
"We had a huge day for the hammer throw," said head coach Robert Johnson. "Anytime you get a sweep it's good. Also, the 5K one-two split was great. We thought we would get a one-three split, so we will take a one-two split any day of the week."
Greg Skipper won the hammer as the Ducks went 1-2-3 in the opening event for a 9-0 lead. Skipper threw 206-0/62.80m to pace the Ducks. He was backed by senior Miles Walk in second at 185-1/56.42m and junior Tanner Harris in third at 179-11/54.84m.
"My throws felt really good," said Skipper. "I went heavy on the weights to get through this meet and I was happy with today."
Later, Parker Stinson led the Ducks on the track with a dual meet win in the 5,000 meters. The junior from Austin, Texas, was first in 13:59.83, followed by freshman Matthew Melancon in 14:09.37 as the Ducks took the event 8-1.
The main portion of the dual will be contested Saturday beginning at noon.
"The dashes will be important," said Johnson. "Good events for us will be the 800 and 1,500 meters which have huge implications. Any points out of the jumps will be huge as well."
Meanwhile, a number of women shone in the Oregon Relays on Friday.
Alyssa Monteverde brought the East Grandstands crowd to its feet with a rousing win in the 100 meter hurdles. The freshman from Fresno, Calif., won in 13.41, which was the second fastest time in school history, behind only seven-time NCAA champion Brianne Theisen's 13.30. Monteverde came back to take fourth in the women's 400 meter hurdles in a personal best 1:03.49.
"I didn't feel like it was my cleanest race, but I'm very happy," said Monteverde.
Senior Jordan Hasay was also an easy winner, coasting to victory in the women's 5,000 meters along side of Oregon Track Club Elite's Bridget Franek to the finish line. Hasay crossed in 16:01.54 with Franek on her shoulder in 16:01.59.
"I just wanted to stay relaxed and comfortable as possible," said Hasay. "It's a fun event and great to be in front of this crowd. It was a great chance to race at home. I only have a couple more chances as a senior."
In the field, Skipper was a winner in the open men's hammer earlier on Saturday. He went over 210 feet for the third straight meet, taking the Relays portion of the competition Friday with a throw of 212-1/64.64m.
The Ducks were also successful in the women's hammer where Jillian Weir recorded a two-foot personal best in a second place finish. The sophomore from Sunnyvale, Calif., hit her big throw of 194-7/59.30m on her final attempt. That was the third best effort in school history.
"It was my last throw and I was just building on each throw," said Weir. "It felt great to finally get over 59 meters.
"The season has been great. I'm feeling great about it and I'm not even close to peaking."
Lauren Crockett won the women's high jump with a personal best clearance at 5-11.25/1.81m. That moved the sophomore from Ogden, Utah, to No. 6 on the UO career list.
Other winners for the Ducks included freshman Ryan Hunter-Simms, who won the men's shot put in a personal best 53-5.75/16.30m. Senior Maggie Pietka won the women's triple jump with a best leap of 38-5.5/11.72m. Junior Sammie Clark won the women's pole vault with a clearance at 12-5.5/3.80m.
Liz Brenner scored a collegiate best in a second place finish in the women's javelin. The freshman from Portland, Ore., moved into eighth on the UO career top 10 with a mark of 153-1/46.66m. High schooler Haley Crouser won the open javelin with a heave of 162-10/49.64m.
For the men, freshman Ryan Pickering won the 10,000 meters in 29:48.52, a personal best by more than a minute.
Sophomore Chad Noelle had a :04 PR in a runner-up finish in the men's 1,500 in 3:41.87.
Former Duck Andrew Wheating of OTC Elite, in his first 2013 appearance at Hayward Field, won the men's 800 meters in 1:49.24.

Minister Reynders on starting trade talks with Japan
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders welcomes the decision of the Council of the European Union to begin trade talks with Japan. Studies estimate the return of a free trade agreement with Japan to be worth 0.8% of the GDP of the EU, which could create 400,000 jobs. This decision also demonstrates the European Union's commitment to Asia.
The mandate approved today serves as a foundation for balancing and strengthening trade relations between the EU and Japan.
Belgium intends to seize this opportunity, particularly in the pharmaceutical, chemical and foodstuffs sectors, as well as in transport materials, medical equipment and in services. Many sectors of Belgian industry back this decision.
Belgium nevertheless remains sensitive to the importance of the European car industry, and will remain particularly attentive to the observance of regulations laid down in this sector.

Reviewed By Jack B (Duluth, GA) Reviewed for a 1996 Audi A4 —4/26/2012 3:04 AM
The pictures for the mats showed grommet holes and my Audi provides studs that pass through the grommets to secure the mats in place. Instead of gromments, my mats came with thin plastic straps that are riveted to the mats on one end to the back side of a mat. Each free end of a strap has a hole with numerous relief cuts to allow it to slide over the Audi stud button heads. The straps are completely unterneath the mats so the mats tilt upward over the Audi studs and do not lay flat in those areas. I fear the plastic straps will break in the not too distant future. The lack of gromment holes and the use of the straps are my only disappointments. I recommend you take the grommet holes out of your online representation if you are not going to provide the grommet holes on mats for cars that support that feature.

A Wilmington man was killed Sunday night in a motorcycle crash on Front Street.
Police said John Calderone, 39, was southbound on Front Street near Marstellar Street about 11:30 p.m. when the motorcycle he was driving ran into the tires of a tractor-trailer operated by Larry Paige of South Carolina. Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman Linda Rawley was uncertain what direction the tractor-trailer was traveling.
No charges have been filed at this time. The accident is still under investigation.

Manhard Record, Women's Sweep Highlight Opening Day Of Swim/Dive Season
Junior Michael Manhard broke the oldest record on the men's side, while the reigning Ivy League champion Tiger women swept all five swimming events, to highlight the opening night for both Ivy League champion swimming and diving programs.
Princeton was perfect in the pool, and it started with an impressive showing in the 200 free relay, as Lisa Boyce, Elizabeth McDonald, Nicole Larson and Morgan Karetnick took the win by nearly three seconds in 1:34.28. Boyce, McDonald and Karetnick were part of Princeton's Ivy League championship 200 free relay from last season.
While three members of that relay were freshmen last season, three freshmen made up the second-place quartet; Olivia Chan, Kathleen Mulligan and Katie Diller joined sophomore Mallory Remick to place second in 1:37.19.
Sophomore Sada Stewart won the 500 free in 5:00.51, while Larson (2:03.48) and Chan (2:05.44) went 1-2 in the 200 IM. Larson was also part of a 1-2 finish in the 50 free, though she finished behind Boyce, the reigning Ivy League champion. Boyce claimed the win in 22.75, while Larson took second in 23.42.
Boyce, Chan, Larson and McDonald were extremely impressive in winning the 400 medley relay in 3:47.07, more than six seconds faster than any relay in the field.
Princeton won four of five swimming events, though the highlight came in the diving well. Manhard posted a winning score of 361.20 in the 1-meter diving competition, which broke the record of Billy Heinz set back in 1975.
The Tigers opened the swim events with a second-place finish in the 200 free relay, as En-Wei Hu-Van Wright, Michael Strand, Jeffrey Williamson and Lance Rutkin finished in 1:25.00. The latter two were making their collegiate debuts, as was Sam Smiddy, who won the 500 free in 4:33.08.
Princeton took the top nine spots in the 200 IM, with sophomore Teo D'Alessandro winning in 1:50.35. Hu-Van Wright took second in 1:51.98, while junior Connor Maher placed third in 1:52.53.
Another Princeton freshman, Julian Mackrel, won the 50 in 21.05, while sophomores Sandy Bole (21.19) and Jeremy Wong (21.24) took the next two spots. Strand, Jack Pohlmann, D'Alessandro and Mackrel wrapped up the session by winning the 400 medley relay in 3:22.45.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cathie Beautiful & Helpful! I was searching for a "tray" I could use in my bathroom similar to a vanity tray. I had 2 already but wanted one large enough to hold everything. I was on one website looking at one tray and when I clicked on it - it re-directed me to WorldMarket. I have no idea how it did this but I am SO happy! I bought 2 of these and now have both mine and my hudbands Perfumes & Colognes sitting pretty in the trays on our bathroom counters. These trays hold a LOT!! The Rattan tray is very well made. It is sturdy enough to hold at least 20 of my perfumes, and they are full size bottles, not mimis or samples. I also have pretty glass jars with lids holding Q-Tips, and other items. I would absolutely recommend this tray - for anything really! For the price - it is definitely worth it! March 27, 2013

Denton man listed in good condition after car falls on him
Published: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 1:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 1:32 p.m.
The man who was injured after a jack collapsed and caused his vehicle to fall on him Wednesday afternoon on Cherry Blossom Lane remained hospitalized Thursday.
A neighbor who wished to remain anonymous has identified the man as Johnny Hobbs. A spokeswoman with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem said Hobbs was listed in good condition Thursday morning.
Firefighters with the Denton Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched at 3:18 p.m. to a man being pinned underneath a vehicle on Cherry Blossom Lane, off Yates Road. Firefighters arrived to find the man had already been freed from under the Ford Expedition by those who located him.
Travis Morris, captain with the DVFD, said the man's mid-chest to his head was pinned underneath the vehicle while his feet to his chest were sticking outside of it.
Morris said the man was working under the car by himself, and it appears that one of his friends found him pinned under it. The captain said the man had chest and back injuries, and his head was OK.
Hobbs was airlifted to Baptist.

low sautepan with lid
low sautepan without lid
The straight sauté pans from Demeyere fry optimally because of their multilayer bottom using TriplInduc technology. The heat is evenly spread over the whole frying surface and when using a normal intensity of heat, burning food is out of the question. The stainless steel walls (when lid is on) keep the heat inside so a minimum of energy is required.

10 Gigabit SR Multi-Mode Fiber Network Tap (50 Micron 50/50 Split)
Permanent Inline Monitoring and Analysis on Your 10 Gig Multi-mode Fiber Network
Permanent Inline Monitoring and Analysis on Your 10 Gig Multi-mode Fiber Network
The USRobotics 10 Gigabit Fiber Taps provide an easy method to rapidly and effectively deploy analysis tools to observe and monitor traffic non-intrusively between two devices on a fiber network. By design, fiber taps are totally passive, fault-tolerant, and invisible to the network which means they will not affect network performance or integrity and can be trusted for permanent installations on a fiber network that require a dedicated port mirror.. These rock solid devices are ideal for real-time monitoring and analysis of any traffic between critical network devices such as switches, routers and firewalls and continue to pass errors that aren't seen using SPAN ports. Topology independent, the taps can be used for ATM, Gigabit, OC3-OC48, or SONET protocols and are available for both Single-mode and Multimode fiber networks.
Monitoring & Analysis

I'm an introvert by nature. Big time. I have a very small social circle, and I am not afraid to be alone.
But I don't want to be invisible.
At the risk of raising eyebrows or generating negative comments, there's an observation I want to make. This is based on my own experience. Women, as they grow older, tend to become invisible.
When we are teenagers, and in our 20s or 30s, most of us don't need to do much to get the attention of others. Throw on some makeup or wear a cute outfit, and you're good to go. We are all beautiful in society's eyes, simply because we are young and energetic.
Fast forward to our 40s, 50s and beyond. Now we've been in the real world for a while. Work is demanding, families tend to take precendence over self-care, and we start to show our age. You see this in Hollywood, where one-time sexy leading ladies start taking on "mature" roles, or simply fade away. Those of us in the "real world" may or may not take as much time tending to our personal appearance, and we can't quite pull off all of the new fashions.
What happens? We start to become invisible. Strangers either don't notice us or they look beyond us to the cute girl a bit farther away. It's easy to fade away into the background and let the world go on without us.
The good thing is that most of us now have enough confidence in our own abilities and self that we don't care. I don't. Not that much. It's actually very liberating knowing that I can go out without makeup, and no one will notice. On the other hand, I'm still here, and I'm way too young to disappear from society. So, I focus on healthy living.
You can embrace healthy living at any age. You can do it alone, but there are plenty of people — your age and younger — who are playing the same game, and you can join in. Reading and commenting on blogs (and finally starting my own), entering races and taking yoga classes are all things I've done to stay visible and remain a meaningful part of the world. And you know what? I find that some of my shy tendencies are going away. I look around, and I see how much I'm learning from people of all ages, how much I can contribute, and how much fun I can have. And I see that, when you find the right mix, no one cares how old you are or what you look like. You aren't invisible. You are part of something bigger. You become healthier, stronger and more relevant — not less.
Don't let age pull you down. Live a healthy life, whatever that means for you, and stay in the moment.

Serfas: Where Have You Been All My Life?
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
The other day Christmas came early. It's not hard to imagine it's Christmas what with all the snow we've been getting. Serfas sent me a few items to try out. In between snowstorms and a trip to Fruita I had a chance to try it all and I was pretty happy with all of it. The price point is reasonable which is helpful when you like a variety of choices in the bike bag.
First up, Serfas Assassin sunglasses. They are gloss black and they come with multiple lenses; bonus for those of us who like to ride at dusk and in the bright sun. They are perfect size for my troll size head (I think trolls have small heads). They fit well and don't slip around and they are super light. They also are designed well. No peripheral vision obstruction. They are so comfortable I often forgot I had them on. They offer 100% UV protection and they are RX compatible.
Next up , Krypton Women's MTB Shoes. I was super curious about these because I've been wearing a softer shoe for the past year and wasn't sure if I would like a stiff shoe (although from a power perspective, the stiffer the better). I took them to Fruita and against my better judgment wore them for what would be a 5 hour ride. Glad I don't listen to myself. They were super comfy from the get go. It was my first time wearing a shoe with a single button release and I LOVED it. They were stiff but it was good for powering up some of the loose rocky climbs. And let's not get too caught up in function. They look great. Mine are all black and pretty tough looking. I likey. I'm impressed with a shoe that can go from the box to a 5 hour ride. No break in time required. Just like I like it.
Hmm..jersey or shorts. Okay, we'll do shorts. Serfas sent me the Angel Short. I ALWAYS wear a small but had to send their small back for a medium. You may want to size up if you are on the size fence. Mine are black and loose and long. Again, so lightweight that I looked down to be sure I had shorts on. Pockets just where you need them; one zippered and one Velcro plus two up top for your hands. The Serfas launch pad is just what you need in a liner; breathable, soft and fits in all the right places. The shorts also come with an adjustable waist (nice if you are between sizes) (or you just like a lot of trail snacks).
The Women's Blossom Jersey is super cute. It is semi fitted with a ½ zip and feels true to size. There are two pockets and a headphone outlet. Available in a few colors but the smoke color is my fav. It has just enough feminine detail to please. It is breathable and stood up well to washing and drying (for longer than I probably should have). It felt long enough to hide my back parts and perfect in the front. I heard a rumor that Serfas may discontinue their women's jerseys but I wanted to brag on this one anyway.
Wrap up: There are lots of choices out there. Choose wisely and buy what performs well and makes you feel good while rippin' it up on the dirt.

Princeton Opens 2013 With Strong Scrimmage Against Villanova
The Princeton women's swimming and diving team will have a pair of critical meets at Denunzio Pool this winter, and it had its final tune-up before the annual H-Y-P weekend with a successful home scrimmage Friday afternoon.
Among the individual winners were senior co-captain Kathy Qu, who took the 200 fly in 2:04.87, and freshman Morgan Karetnick, who won the 50 free in 23.71. Karetnick added a second win in the 100 fly, when her time of 55.64 topped classmate Nikki Larson by one second.
Princeton won both relays during the day. In the 200 medley, the team of Lisa Boyce, Sarah Furgatch, Larson and Karetnick won in 1:42.95; the 200 free relay quartet of Larson, Qu and freshmen Sada Stewart and Elizabeth McDonald won in 1:36.42.
Beyond those winners, Princeton had a plethora of second- and third-place finishers. All times are available in the "complete results" link above. No team scores were kept.
Princeton will return from its exam break for a meet on Sunday, Jan. 27, at Lehigh. The following weekend is H-Y-P, which begins with a Friday, Feb. 1, session at 6 pm. Senior Day and the second session will be held Sat., Feb. 2, at noon.

Love the 'Terra Hide' Look
By SteffiLovesStilettos
from Bethesda, MD
Best Uses
I wanted to try the new 'Terra Hide' coated denim look from NYDJ. I decided to try the 'Emma' skirt since I've liked the 'Emma' style for a while but hadn't purchased it before.I'm 5'7" and I bought the petite size to get the shorter length. Even so, the skirt hits right at my knees. The vent in back helps me move and walk comfortably.The fit in my normal NYDJ size is just right. The waist is slimming but not too tight and the fit around my hips help accentutate my assets without being too flirty.I really like the Terra Hide coated denim. I has a leather look and feel but has the comfort and give of NYDJ's best stretchy jeans. Now that I've added the 'Emma' skirt to my wardrobe, I'll feel more confident trying other NYDJ styles with the coated denim look.The color I received is darker than the on-line photos... my 'Emma' skirt is almost a chocolate brown, not the tan in the photos. There is a slight 'whiskered' finish in the front, which gives 'Emma' a casual look. I've worn 'Emma' for shopping, around-town errands, and on dates.For me, 'Emma' works with a dressy blouse and knee boots or heels. The skirt has belt loops so I can add an accent. The color is very flexible and I can feature 'Emma' with many different outfits.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When I saw this I just had to have it. I loved it so much I order one for my daughter. You may want to order a size larger because the coating does not allow much stretch if any.

Survivor's widow recounts his day of 'infamy'
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 7:04 a.m.
DELAND — The earth shook. Edward R. "Tommie" Thompson ditched his breakfast and, with three friends, jumped into a car.
Remembrance Day Ceremony
The Veterans Community Education Partnership for West Volusia will conduct a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Ceremony at 1 p.m. Friday at the Orange City Veterans Memorial Park at the northeast corner of U.S. 17-92 and East Blue Springs Avenue.
To mark the start of Americans entry into World War II, the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, by Japan, Gov. Rick Scott is asking Floridians to fly their flags at half staff on Friday.
Thompson, a civil servant, was on the Hawaiian island of Oahu helping to build what was to become Hickam Air Force Base. In Pearl Harbor, several U.S.battleships, cruisers and destroyers were under attack by Japan
"They did see the smoke," Ann Thompson, his widow, said Wednesday at her DeLand home. "They thought something mechanical had gone wrong, caused an explosion."
Seventy-one years ago, more than 80,000 U.S. service members were surprised by the Sunday morning attack by Japanese bombers aiming to cripple the United States' Pacific fleet. More than 2,000 U.S. troops were killed on Dec. 7, 1941, a day that remains associated with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's chosen word, "infamy."
Largely now, the job of retelling stories from that day is falling to relatives of the survivors, such as Ann Thompson, 72, whose husband died at 90 on Aug. 19.
Due to the dwindling number of survivors, the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association disbanded at the end of last year.
Sandra Sikes, Florida chairwoman of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, said about a decade ago, she was aware of 47 survivors in the northeast Florida area.
"Now, there's only about nine or 10," she said.
Duane Reyelts, a St. Augustine survivor who was the last state president of the survivors' group, said he wasn't sure if any survivors remain in Volusia and Flagler counties.
Reyelts, now 90, was then a 19-year-old Iowa farm boy serving on the U.S.S. Oklahoma. He was sleeping after being on a watch from midnight to 4 a.m., when the first bombs began falling.
Duty-bound, he rushed to his battle station at the ship's stern. The Oklahoma had been hit and was turning bottom-side up.
"I wasn't quite as big as I am now," Reyelts said. "I escaped through a port hole as the ship was turning over. I jumped into the water."
After surviving a 30-foot jump into the Pacific, Reyelts swam to another ship, the Maryland. Pearl Harbor was only the start of the action for him.
"It changed me a lot," he said. "I went on a destroyer. I was in just about every battle in the Pacific during World War II."
That included being on an escort ship when the U.S.S. Lexington was sunk in the Coral Sea off the coast of Australia in May 1942. Later a typhoon blew so hard, it leaned his ship so far that it bent the mast into the water, he said.
"It just doesn't seem like it was that long ago," Reyelts said.
In DeLand, Tommie Thompson wasn't shy about telling his story, his widow said.
Ann Thompson was married to Tommie for 21 years after his first wife, Cecilia, died in 1987. He often talked about how much he had seen in his lifetime, she said.
On the day of the attack, he and his friends left Hickam Air Force Base to see what was causing all the smoke. As they drove, another line of Japanese attack planes swept over them, pelting their car with tracer bullets.
"They knew something awful was happening," she said.
He returned to the base to secure it and assist with a defense effort, but it was largely fruitless. "It was such a surprise and Hickam wasn't complete . . . getting up a defense was so nil."
Just like that, the United States entered the fray and Tommie Thompson would return to the Army.
He spent much of World War II training to become a pilot with the U.S. Army Air Corps and during the Korean War, he flew transport planes, leading to a military career that stretched into the 1960s. He retired a major and was proud of not just his service, but the code he and his fellow servicemen lived.
"As a person, he was tremendous. He was an asset. But the history is gone," Ann Thompson said. "It was a loss of history, something you'll never get back."
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the types of ships attacked by Japan in Pearl Harbor. There were battleships, cruisers, destroyers and others, but no carriers. Also, the story should have said that one of the survivors, Duane Reyelts, jumped into the harbor waters, not the Pacific.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Morgan2 Beautiful Table!! Love this table! Very beautiful! Seats many comfortably! Looks good from every angle! Relatively simple to put together. Don't know yet how the metal top will fare with eating dishes etc , but I am hoping that even when it looks used it will look like a patina. Great table! ! Great price!! January 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chelsea3 Love this table. Bought on sale. We bought this table after it caught our eye in the store. We were able to get it on a sale price of 50% off and then another 10% coupon, so it was an excellent deal. Normally I HATE assembling furniture, but this only took about 15 minutes after getting all the pieces out of the box. What a nice surprise! Everything aligned perfectly and the construction is very sturdy. You will need two people for assembly because of the weight. I would absolutely recommend this table to anyone who wants a classic design with a more contemporary twist. As one other reviewer stated, I wish they would make matching chairs/bench for this piece and I would snatch them up. Thanks World Market! January 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Taoslady Sturdy and sleek! We had a tough time deciding to buy this table because it is very unique. What a joke. It is absolutely fabulous! December 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WendyLea great table, industrial looking at a very affordable price We searched for an industrial looking table that would fit our large dining room. We found several we liked but the price was out of our budget. We love the Braxton table, paired it with rattan chairs for our "industrial tropical" dining room for our new home on the coast. The only problem we had was a good size dent on the edge of the table (must have been packaged that way because the box wasn't dented/or damaged in any way). We contemplated taking it back, but love the table and it was the only one in stock so we decided we would live with it (and faced it away from the walkway through the dining room. It assembled in no time flat and is very sturdy. Other than the dent, we couldn't be happier with the table. I'm attempting to create a great story for the dent to make it better. November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andrew This is a GREAT table! I purchased this table because I wanted something a little more industrial looking. This table is so sturdy. I couldn't believe how fast we assembled it - in 10 minutes or less! When it was put together, I couldn't believe how solid this piece is and how sturdy it is. I am so happy I bought this table. The warping issues have all been fixed, and now I believe there are additional braces/supports under the top to make it as sturdy as any other table top on the market. WAY TO GO WORLD MARKET!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KristenW Love this table! I read the reviews of this table before I purchased it and they made me a little nervous, but I figured that I could just return it if it was warped or uneven, so I bought it, and I'm so happy I did! No warping! The table is exactly what I was looking for. Other stores sell a table that looks exactly the same for soooo much more money. The only thing I would complain about is the fact that the type of metal the table top is wrapped in is not specifically stated anywhere, I might be wrong, but I believe "sheet metal" can be made of pretty much anything. I imagine it's some kind of steel. Other than that, a great product and I'm very happy with it! May 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by maddie12 Great Table! Really love this table...it's is quite large and very sturdy. I picked mine up from my local store and my table has only a very small ding in the edge of the metal top...not at all noticeable. My only complaint is that I wish they had matching benches for it! I'm holding out on purchasing chairs, hoping that they will come out with benches in the near future! Would highly recommend this table, and it is very simple to put together with two people (the metal top is quite heavy!). January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VDub Great table! I love this table. Beautiful and solid. I just wish they had matching benches. January 5, 2013

The Future of the Books Industry Depends Heavily on Print; Three out of Five eBooks Downloaded are Never Read
Malvern, PA, December 9, 2013 - Ricoh Americas Corporation (Ricoh) today announced the findings of its commissioned IT Strategies books study, performed in conjunction with the University of Colorado. Among the key findings of the study: that eBooks' mindshare is overshadowed by popular press headlines rather than factual data, and that most consumers do not see themselves giving up printed books, due to the benefits the physical form offers.The most surprising results of the study entitled "The Evolution of the Book Industry: Implications for U.S. Book Manufacturers and Printers" include: • Nearly 70 percent of consumers feel it is unlikely that they will give up on printed books by 2016. Consumers have an emotional and visceral/sensory attachment to printed books, potentially elevating them to a luxury item.• Despite their perceived popularity, 60% of eBooks downloaded are never read in the US. Since 2012, the growth of eBooks has slowed significantly as dedicated eReader sales are declining, and tablet PC devices are increasingly becoming utilized for other forms of entertainment.• College students prefer printed textbooks to eBooks as they help students to concentrate on the subject matter at hand; electronic display devices such as tablet PCs tempt students to distraction. • Current trends reveal that while fewer copies of books are being sold, more titles are being published. • Digital printing of "ultra short runs" has empowered book printers to supply books more tightly tied to actual demand. • The top three reasons consumers choose a printed book are: Lack of eye strain when reading from paper copy vs. an eBook; the look and feel of paper, and the ability to add it to a library or bookshelf. "More than 500 years after the invention of the printing press, book manufacturers and publishers are playing a pivotal role in the next renaissance in books that is happening now," said George Promis, vice president of continuous forms production solutions & technology alliances, Ricoh. "To borrow a phrase from Mark Twain, reports of the printed book's death are greatly exaggerated. Print is alive, well and sought after in today's book market. At Ricoh, we're focused on ensuring this stays true for years to come."Other findings from the study specifically relevant to publishers and book manufacturers include:• Publishers are using digital printing in two ways: o As a test with 1 to 2 books placed per retailer, circumventing cumbersome distributor guidelines and storage fees before ordering larger offset or digitally printed quantities o For predicted strong titles, digitally printed books are used for reorders as needed to supplement first-run offset printed books• Digital production inkjet printers have opened the door to a business model shift. Combined, the study estimates that just 50 production inkjet systems owned by 25 book manufacturers produced more than ten percent of all printed book pages in the U.S. in 2012.• Offering titles electronically does not correspond to revenue generation or cost savings—even the largest publishers derive revenues of no more than 20-30 percent from eBook salesThe study surveyed more than 800 respondents, with the following demographic profile:• Gender: 55% female, 45% male• Average age: 39 years old• Education – 0.2% have not completed high school (1 respondent) – 36% have a high school degree – 49% have an undergraduate degree – 15% have a graduate or higher degree"Despite the perceived growth of eBooks, our research shows that there is a silver lining for the printed books and the digital production print industries," said Marco Boer, Consulting Partner, IT Strategies. "As book orders become smaller in quantity and more frequent, and as an unprecedented number of titles are introduced each year, digital print is helping book manufacturers tackle potential challenges head on through automation and more intelligent printing."To download the IT Strategies white paper, "The Evolution of the Book Industry: Implications for U.S. Book Manufacturers and Printers", and obtain more information on Ricoh's solutions for publishing, visit this link: http://www.infoprint.com/internet/ipww.nsf/vwWebPublished/solos_commercial-print-publishing_en. | About Ricoh|Ricoh is a global technology company specializing in office imaging equipment, production print solutions, document management systems and IT services.

q: What is the process for induction?
Leaders in the music industry joined together in 1983 to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. One of the Foundation's many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.
Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist's contribution to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.
The Foundation's nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the Performer category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number of votes, and more than 50 percent of the vote, are inducted. The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year.
q: To whom should I direct further questions about the induction process?
All aspects of the induction process are handled by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. It can be reached at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Second Floor, New York, NY 10104. The Foundation does not have e-mail available.
q: Can I take pictures at the Museum?

q: Why is the Museum in Cleveland?
Cleveland's claim on the Museum is born of both rock and roll history and a strong sense old civic pride. Besides being the place where Alan Freed popularized the term Rock and Roll with his pioneering radio show and groundbreaking early rock and roll concerts, Cleveland has served as a springboard to success for rock artists as diverse as Chuck Berry (who made his first public appearance here) to David Bowie (who made his U.S. debut here) to Elvis Presley (who played his first concert north of the Mason-Dixon line in Cleveland). The Cleveland area also been home to a number of well-known and well-regarded rock artists, including Chrissie Hynde, Joe Walsh of the Eagles, Pere Ubu, Robert Lockwood, Jr., Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Phil Ochs, Devo, the Dead Boys, Benjamin Orr of the Cars, the Raspberries, the O'Jays, Dink, Wild Cherry, Bobby Womack, Tracy Chapman and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, among others.
When the idea for a Museum to house the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame first came about, Cleveland leaders were among the first and most enthusiastic in lobbying Hall of Fame officials to bring the Museum to Cleveland. The city overwhelmingly beat all rivals in a USA Today poll, earning more than 100,000 votes over its nearest rival.
In addition, 660,000 people signed petitions to bring the Museum to Cleveland. The city's civic and business leaders worked together to provide the necessary financial support to make the Museum not only a reality, but also a stunning showcase for rock and roll's history.
On May 5, 1986, Cleveland was selected as the site for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
q: Who was the architect for the Museum?
The architect was I. M. Pei, of Pei Cobb Freed and Partners. Pei's acclaimed work includes the addition to the Louvre in Paris, France and the National Gallery of Art East Wing, in Washington, D.C., among other well-known structures.
q: When was the Museum built?
Groundbreaking for the building took place on June 7, 1993, with Billy Joel, Pete Townshend, Chuck Berry, Sam Phillips, Sam Moore and Dave Pirner on hand. The building opened to the public on September 2, 1995.
q: I have a piece of rock and roll memorabilia and I'd like to find out what it's worth. Do you make appraisals of artifacts?
Due to IRS regulations, we do not offer this service.
q: Somehow, I ended up with the original contract for the Who's performance at Woodstock, along with some other items from the group, and I was wondering if you were interested in obtaining them.
Chances are, you actually don't have the artifacts you think you have. The Who included facsimiles of this contract and the other "artifacts" with the packaging of the album Live at Leeds. About once a week, we get a letter or call from someone about this, and we have to break the bad news to them.
q: Okay, I don't have the original Who at Woodstock contract, but I have other items in which you might be interested. Do you accept donations and loans of artifacts?
Yes, all the time. While many of the artifacts come directly from the artists, some collectors have also provided us with important items from the history of rock and roll. If you've got something interesting, let us know by writing tp the Curatorial Department, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, 1100 Rock and Roll Boulevard, Collection Auto Group Plaza, Cleveland, OH 44114 or sending an e-mail to
q: Who decided which songs to include in the 500 songs that shaped rock and roll?
The Museum's chief curator, James Henke, compiled the list with input from the museum's curatorial staff and numerous rock critics and music experts.
q: Does an artist have to be inducted to have an exhibit in the Museum?
The Museum welcomes artifacts and exhibits from all genres and types of musicians. Just because an artist has an exhibit does not mean they have been inducted and just because an artist is not inducted, does not mean they may not have an exhibit in the Museum. The only place in the Museum that is solely dedicated to inductees is the Hall of Fame exhibit located on Level 3.
q: Can I join as a member at the Museum?
Yes. You may purchase a membership in the Museum's store or online.
q: Can I gain free admission if I sign up for a membership at the Museum the day I visit?

q: What is the Museum's mission?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. is the nonprofit organization that exists to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music. It carries out this mission both through its operation of a world-class museum that collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets this art form and through its library and archives as well as its educational programs.
q: Why is it important to study rock and roll?
Rock and roll music is one the most pervasive – and accessible – art forms in Western Culture. In fact, when NASA launched the Voyager space shuttle in 1977, they included music from Chuck Berry on it in the event that intelligent life found the vessel. Like any art form, rock music reflects and defines our history and culture.
Rock and roll has been a key tool in giving a voice to people who have otherwise been pushed to the margins of our society. In the civil rights movements, in war protests, in ending communist rule in Eastern European countries, even in our elections, rock and roll music – and the musicians and fans that make it what it is – is truly a cultural force.
The Rock Hall is at the forefront of bringing popular culture into the classroom. Our educational programs and exhibits reach hundreds of thousands of students of all ages and teaches them how music has played a role in some of the most important social, cultural and political issues in modern history.
Through our educational programs, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is exploring how music has intersected with our culture, changed our political landscape and given a voice to those on the margins of mainstream society. This effort to bring pop culture into the academic world is crucial, as critical dialogues in our world are increasingly happening through—and with—modern music.

Nearly 150 residents, Human Relations Commission members and law enforcement gathered Saturday to share and offer solutions to the recent increase in hate crimes in Orange County against African Americans.
In announcing the series of such meetings, Doug Wooley, OC Human Relations commissioner, said "The commission wants to go into the community with 'Listening Sessions' to hear additional stories of the African American experience in OC, including hate incidents or crimes that may not have been reported. Racist behavior and hate crimes are not tolerated in Orange County."
Human Relations Commission Chair Carol Turpen said, "We look forward to an ongoing dialog with the African American community over the next few months."
The meat of the meeting included 10 discussion circles in which residents, police, Sheriff's deputies and pastors discussed racial incidents and how to better deal with them.
Rusty Kennedy, executive director of OC Human Relations, explained the anecdotes will be reviewed to determine if certain themes emerge. If so, the commission will then seek appropriate organizations to help tackle those themes.
Offering context, Rev. Mark Whitlock, senior minister of Christ Our Redeemer AME Church, stated, "Orange County, like other communities, has a few misguided people, but we live in one of the most diverse and safe communities in America."
UCI Vice Chancellor Thomas Parham told the gathering, "There's more love than there is hate." But he also cautioned against silence about racial incidents. "We must raise our voices and (ensure) this does not go on any longer."
After listening to several residents recount racist incidents, Irvine Police Chief David Maggard called the events disturbing and said his department would remain vigilant.
Other groups included West Coast Christian Tabernacle, New Spirit Baptist Church, the NAACP and the Thurgood Marshall Bar Association. The gathering was at Whitlock's church in Irvine.
Columnist David Whiting will follow up with a full column on the session and related issues; email@example.com.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DearLiza Perfect Desk! I absolutely love this desk! It's super easy to put together, looks GREAT in my home, and is the perfect size for working on my laptop, paperwork, or any miscellaneous task. It's also the perfect height for my husband, who is in a wheelchair. Some tables and desks are too low for him to comfortably fit his chair under, but this one is absolutely perfect. It was so perfect, in fact, that we bought a 2nd one for our cabin out in the country. Couldn't pass up this great deal! January 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Me2014 Beautiful I bought this desk a little while ago. It looks great, was VERY easy to put together, and is very sturdy. A great buy. :) January 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyM11 Quality and Value We absolutely love the Asher desk. The quality is outstanding and it was very easy to assemble. We actually purchased it to convert as a bar. By mounting stemware holders under the first shelf up from the "desk," we achieved a very trendy, warehouse vibe bar. Thanks World Market for your commitment to selling not only beautiful items, but high quality items as well. August 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HeatherFeather8 Industrial, unique desk My fiance' fell in love with this desk. Perfect size to fit in the kitchen. We were wanting to use a small space in the kitchen to have a desk for organizatoin, mail, laptop. We are going to dress it up with some colorful objects. Also, we purchased an organizational mail box item that fits perfect on one of the shelves. Looks pretty neat and you can't beat the item being on sale. July 7, 2013

ZF-6658: autoloading issue with the fallback autoloader
I've enabled the fallback autoloader in my application bootstrap.
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap { protected function _initFallbackAutoload() { Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance() ->setFallbackAutoloader(true) ; } [...] }
This leads to the following error messages. Warning: include(Module/Bootstrap.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /path/to/library/Zend/Loader.php on line 83
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Module/Bootstrap.php' for inclusion (include_path='/path/to/library:.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /path/to/library/Zend/Loader.php on line 83
Warning: include(FrontController.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /path/to/library/Zend/Loader.php on line 83
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'FrontController.php' for inclusion (include_path='/path/to/library:.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /path/to/library/Zend/Loader.php on line 83
But the module bootstrap and the front controller would be loaded.
I have same problem, I think you have to have also set suppressNotFoundWarnings(false) for "global" autoloader to see this warnings.
Could you try and reproduce this issue with 1.8.4? The solution to ZF-7002 might have fixed this.
Now I have tested this issue against Zend Framework 1.8.4 Release (r16258). It still throws both warnings related to the FrontController.php as explained in the description, but the module bootstrap will be loaded without any warnings now.
I also test it with ZF 1.8.4 (r16258) in real app and I think that everything is OK, no warnings for Module/Bootstrap.php and no for FrontController.php. But there is one problem I think.
At all events, ZF 7002 fixed the Module/Bootstrap.php warnings.
FrontController.php warnings are gone because the front controller resource plugin is initialized in the constructor of Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap, this is parent for main boostraps in most situations.
But in situation, when the front controller plugin is initialized only from module bootstrap via code from Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap constructor:
//ZF-6545: ensure front controller resource is loaded if (!$this->hasPluginResource('FrontController')) { $this->registerPluginResource('FrontController'); }
warnings related to FrontController.php can be populated, because code
if (class_exists($plugin)) { ...
is used in the Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::getPluginResource() as described in the dependent issue.
But is this situation real - when Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap isn't used and Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap is?
patch to solve this is in ZF-7224
Patch applied in trunk and 1.9 release branch
this bug should be opened again, patch has removed in the favor of ZF-7696

ZF-6097: For settings no arrays are accepted, only instances of Zend_Config
At the moment only instances of Zend_Config are allowed in Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite::addConfig(). It would be appreciated if arrays were accepted too. (there seems no obvious reason to only zend_config's).
That method exists and is named addRoutes() isn't it ?
No, addRoutes() only takes an array of route instances. Making the router to actually support arrays is not easy, as all routes only take Zend_Config objects in the getInstance() method.
To be more precisely, the fix/improvement would be a BC break cause of the interface definition of a route:
Bulk change of all issues last updated before 1st January 2010 as "Won't Fix".
Feel free to re-open and provide a patch if you want to fix this issue.
