Thanks Thunderz Legacy. Normally I'll feel bad if I flame anyone, but there are exceptions like him. I've just found a nice FM vid for him to watch. It's part of the flaming, but I'm even staying on topic.

Like I said, I still love Envy despite the allegations circling around. Actually, EM, I was wondering if I could that the position of Envy as one of the seven sins of PD, or is that place already filled?

Making Toast: A Family Story
by Roger Rosenblatt, HarperCollins Publishers, www.harpercollins.com
, 2010.
Spare, restrained, unsentimental, moving and beautiful. These are words to describe Roger Rosenblatt's story of his family following the unexpected death of his thirty-eight year old daughter, Amy. Following Amy's death, Roger and his wife move in with their son-in-law, Harris, and their three grandchildren, seven-year-old Jessica, five-year-old Sammy, and twenty-month-old James (Bubbies). Rosenblatt (called "Boppo" by the children) describes daily activities of living, such as making toast, after Amy's unimaginable death. He reflects on Amy's life as child, daughter, physician and mother. A talented and attentive observer, he describes the details of appearance, children's toys and activities and the uneven steps of a family finding its way while all live with the pain and the differences in their lives. The family is not religious and the God in which Rosenblatt believes offers neither care nor comfort. How he finds a way to walk and "make toast" in this new family and unwelcome world is poignant and instructive.
Some Folks Say: Stories of Life, Death and Beyond
by Jane Hughes Gignoux, illustrated by Stephan Daigle, FoulkeTale Publishing, 1998.
Origins of death, balancing life and death, lessons for life and after death and reconciliation with death are the themes covered in this unique resource which explores how diverse and ancient cultures have grappled with questions of life and death. Most of the stories are short, only a few pages at most, and each is followed by reflections on themes raised in the preceding story. The cultures represented include: Native American, ancient Greece, various African tribes, German, Norse, Babylonian, Egyptian and Melanesian. Different present-day religious traditions are also drawn upon including Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and Muslim. These are stories with differing and common perspectives and could be very useful for creatively evoking discussion on big issues. The included story of The Cow-Tail Switch from the Jabo of Liberia has been an effective and well-liked story to use with children to help teach the importance of remembering those who have died.

Cyclist taken out by Barbed Wire on south Denver Bike Path
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Details are still coming in, but from information we have received, a female cyclist crashed on the bike path late this afternoon in south Denver. The rider struck the barbed wire and did an endo hitting her helmet, chest and palms. The police have been contacted. Exact location is still be worked out.
Unlike the last time a story like this came up, where it ended up being an accident from a fisherman but somehow I have to believe that barbed wire does not accidentally end up on a bike path.
Location: S. Platte bike path just north of Mineral. There is a little bridge that you cross and it was just north of there.

I don't understand why this story isn't gaining more traction. ...Because there is no Youtube video to accompany? This is disgusting and horrendous and needs to be investigated and the crime / perpetrator prosecuted. I wish that the victim had chosen to remain at the scene until police arrived and a formal report of the crime had been filed.
Also, the local television network affiliate news media is the second channel which should have been pursued in short order.

Littleton Police Caution Bicyclists Using Platte River Trail
On October 7 at 6:00 p.m., a bicyclist was traveling northbound on the Mary
Carter Greenway Trail in South Platte Park, just north of West Mineral Avenue.
Unknown individual(s) had tied barbed wire across the trail approximately one foot
above the ground. The bicyclist collided with the wire and was thrown off the bicycle.
The victim was injured and the bicycle was damaged.
The Littleton Police Department (LPD) and South Suburban Parks and
Recreation are investigating this incident as a serious threat to public safety. Suspect(s)
participating in this type of behavior could be charged with reckless endangerment and
assault, as well as other criminal charges. Both agencies will be collaborating to
increase patrols along the trail and want to remind bicyclists to use caution, especially in
low light conditions. Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact the
LPD at 303-795-3890.

Tied one foot above the ground leads me to believe that they were more likely targeting runners, not cyclists. If it had been chest high, I would say it was aimed at cyclists. Most likely a very stupid prank by someone, probably pretty young, who didn't think through the consequences of their actions. Given that it was only a foot off the ground, I don't see this as some evil attempt at maiming/killing cyclists.

Submitted by Steve C. (not verified) on
The height of the barbed wire really doesn't matter. I live in the area and use this path with my family on a regular basis. Acts such as these don't belong in a civilized society. The tone of your post indicates that you think that "given the barded wire stretched one-foot high across the path, it wasn't intended for cyclists" so this is a non-story.
I call BS on that. When my 4 year old son is riding his 12" wheeled bike, a wire stretched one foot above the ground could be very dangerous. These types of acts need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if possible.

The thing I think you and Steve, and lots more, are prey to is the 'cyclist as a protected class' mentality. Every time someone is hit by a car, it rears it's ugly head. Do you get equally as upset when a pedestrian is hit, or another car is hit? We are NOT special.

It just dawned on me how bad nintendo has trolled Flareon. I mean they have trolled this thing really really bad. A bit of history:
Gen 1
Flareon was made odviously. It got a great attack with low speed. Also its defenses are shit meaning it can't tank at all. Thats pretty bad itself but what made this thing aweful was the fact that it had literally 2 useable moves: a fire attack and normal. Only the non stabed normal attacj was effected by its amazing attack. Aside from that it had to go off its special fire attack. can someone say walled entirely by rocks?
Gen 2
Flareon got 2 big things: hidden power and shadow ball. Shadow ball and hidden powers are physical meaning it can actually use its attack for something! Tied with the filler move fire blast things where looking up for flareon.
Gen 3
Flareon got overheat which allowed it to use special fire moves and this use its return/shadowball/physical hidden power. Possibly the best generation for this thing yet.
Gen 4
While many pokemon thrived in this new generation Flareon cursed game freak. The biggest disapointment for Flareon since gen 1! It lost lost shadow ball and physical hidden powers! And what did it get? FIRE FANG! What the hell nintendo! Making it about as useful as it was in gen 1! It wasn't until the very very end of the generation that flareon could get superpower. Which is ok but not a replacement for the lost moves at all.
Gen 5
A bit better then last generations. It got guts atleast and nitro charge. But even guts is illegal with superpower its ONLY good move it got after the split.
You know something isd wrong when you can rate a pokemon's usefulness in each gen like this:
1. Gen 3
2. Gen 2
3. Gen 5
4. Gen 4
5. Gen 1

Suspect falls into lake after home invasion, loses items
Three face charges
Published: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 12:12 p.m.
Three people have been arrested in connection to a home invasion on Riverwood Drive in Southmont, and one fell into High Rock Lake while fleeing the house and dropped some of the stolen items.
Kaylle Michelle Wilkins, 25, and Charles Dietz, 23, both of 7168 Shallowford Road, Winston-Salem, and Cole McKay Parris, 23, of 111 Peacock St., have each been charged with felony first-degree burglary, felony robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony kidnapping. They were placed in the Davidson County Detention Center, Parris under a $1 million secured bond, and Dietz and Wilkins under $500,000 secured bonds.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office alleged in arrest warrants the three people armed with handguns broke into a home on Riverwood Drive between the hours of 4:45 and 5:02 a.m. Friday. They ordered the resident to open a safe, according to a press release. The warrants stated Parris, Dietz and Wilkins took 10 firearms, $30,000 in cash and jewelry by threatening the use of a handgun and kidnapped one of the residents.
"The suspects tied (the victim's) hands and feet together," the news release stated. "The suspects fled from the residence carrying a pillow case with money and handguns. During the escape, one of the male suspects fell into High Rock Lake and had to be assisted out of the lake by the female suspect. The pillow case was dropped into the water."
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said the suspects went out the wrong way of the house, which led to them falling into the lake. The water was seven feet deep, the sheriff said
The Davidson County Rescue Squad Dive Team out of Lexington, Southmont Volunteer Fire Department and the Davidson County Sheriff's Office Lake Patrol worked seven hours Friday evening recovering money and weapons from the lake.
No injuries were reported in the incident, according to a DCSO report.
DCSO Chief Deputy E. Brian Grubb arrested Wilkins at a residence Saturday near Winston-Salem. Dietz and Parris were arrested between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Grice said deputies have identified a fourth suspect. The identification of this person was not being released pending the service of arrest warrants. The sheriff said the victim was known by one of the suspects.

The community is invited to visit Grotto Pizza in Seaford this holiday season to view the parade of trees that decorate the restaurant in support of local charities.
One of the many trees that will be featured is the "Children's Tree," decorated by the students of St. John's Pre-school. All proceeds from the collection box placed under the pre-school tree will support "The Pegeen and Samantha Brown Pediatric fund," at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital.
The fund was established in memory of two ladies in the community who were passionate about children: Samantha Brown, 17, who was killed in a car crash in January 2007, and Pegeen Brown, who passed away suddenly just one month following. Samantha was an active volunteer at Nanticoke and Pegeen was a kindergarten teacher at Woodbridge Elementary.

Naruto tries to hit Tsunade with his not yet perfected Rasengan. As expected, Tsunade dodged it easily, then berate Jiraiya for trying to teach Naruto a technique that he couldn't possibly master. Naruto insisted that he could, and bet that he could learn it in three days. Naruto's personality reminded Tsunade of her deceased loved ones, so she accepted the bet, giving Naruto a week. If Naruto won, she would accept that he could become Hokage, and would give him her incredibly valuable necklace that had originally belonged to the First Hokage. Naruto accepted. Later, Shizune talked to Naruto about Tsunade's past and about the history of the necklace. Shizune said that the necklace wasn't an ordinary necklace. If anyone except Tsunade wore it, the person would die. While Shizune was talking to Naruto, Tsunade was sitting on top of the gate of Tanzaku Quarters, thinking of her past.

VMware Mirage is a next-generation desktop image management solution for physical desktops and POS devices, offering easier desktop management, improved end user productivity and easier Windows migrations.
Desktop Management
With layered images of each PC, Mirage makes it easy to deliver, manage and protect operating systems and applications in a cost-effective manner.
- Dynamic layering for endpoint and application management. Complement and extend PC lifecycle management tools. Manage your desktop image as a set of logical layers owned by either IT or the end user. Update IT-managed layers while maintaining end-user files and personalization across Windows operating systems, including Windows 10. Easily deploy applications to any collection of end users with application layering technology. Quickly restore the system layers to fix any issues without overwriting user layers. And easily migrate users from an old PC to a new one without losing data, profiles or user-installed applications.
- Next-generation image management for physical desktops and POS devices. Manage images on physical desktops or POS devices at scale with Mirage. User-installed applications and data stay in tact during image updates.
- Automated backup and full system recovery. Ensure desktop recovery with full PC snapshots and synchronizations any time there's a change in the data center. Minimize end-user downtime when an end user's PC has been lost, stolen or damaged and quickly restore the end-user system to a new device. Support is available for many flavors of Windows desktop operating systems, including Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and POSReady 7. Accelerate the process of enrolling new PCs using bare metal provisioning.
- Designed for distributed environments. Support branch office deployments with minimal infrastructure. Turn any Mirage client endpoint into a Branch Reflector to optimize branch office management and allow end users to easily download updates. Designed for distributed WAN environments, Mirage has optimized storage and networking protocols, and efficient bandwidth control, to help improve performance while driving down costs. Host Mirage infrastructure on-premises or on VMware vCloud Air to remove CapEx barriers. Take advantage of APIs and reports to help manage devices more efficiently.
End-User Productivity
Mirage delivers an optimized and adaptive experience, ensuring that IT backups and synchronizations never interfere with end-user productivity.
- Optimized and adaptive experience. The Mirage client monitors resources being used on an end user's desktop to ensure that the backup and synchronization processes never interfere with productivity.
- Personalized performance. Allow end users to leverage the local resources on their desktops and laptops while maintaining offline productivity. Ensure easy access for end users without the need to connect back to a company's environment through a VPN with a Mirage Gateway.
- Self-service file access and recovery. Ensure end users can take advantage of "follow-me file access" allowing end users to access any file from any web browser on any device. End users can also restore any file or any directory on their own with just a few clicks.
Simplified OS Migrations, Including Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and POS
Mirage can drastically reduce the time needed to migrate to Windows 7, 8.1, 10, POSReady 2009, or POSReady 7. With Mirage, in the case of a 4,000-person organization, the time savings can add up to more than 50 percent.
- Accelerated Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and POS migrations. A manual Windows migration can often take between four and six hours per PC or POS device. Using a data and settings migration tool can cut the time down to two to three hours per device and allow concurrent migration of multiple machines. However, the process still consumes IT resources and removes the user from their device. With Mirage, a single technician can concurrently handle 100 or more migrations per day from the central management console.
- Choose your migration approach. Mirage offers options to fit the most common approaches to Windows migrations including automated in-place Windows OS migrations, user persona and files migrations, and hardware to hardware migrations.
- Automated backups. Before the migration, Mirage takes a snapshot of the entire Windows XP, 7, or POS system, so the system can quickly be restored to the end-user in the event that anything goes wrong.
- Automated, in-place Windows 7 migration with Sophos or BitLocker endpoint encryption. IT does not need to decrypt and re-encrypt the endpoint.
- Extensive support. Mirage offers OS migration support for Windows 7, 8.1, 10, POSReady 2009, and POSReady 7.

text: Mar 7, 2013 12:42 Senate President John Alario, R- Westwego Hunter Greene Trina Edwards capitol news bureau Comments Governor fills two staff positions Gov. Bobby Jindal made two permanent staff hires last week. Sean Lansing will be the governor's press secretary. Shannon Bates, who has been working as the governor's spokeswoman, will be deputy press secretary. Each will make $65,000 a year, Bates said. Lansing's résumé includes stints as communications director at Wisconsin's John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy, press secretary for Eric Hovde's U. S. Senate campaign, and communications director for Wisconsin's Assembly Majority Leader. Trina, Edwin prep for reality show In an interview with Louisiana Radio Network last week, Trina Scott Edwards said her upcoming reality show will focus on the quirky, normal life she shares with former Gov. Edwin Edwards. "We are normal. Our life is not parties and functions," she said. The show, called "The Governor's Wife," premieres Feb. 27 on A&E. Edwards and Trina Grimes Scott married in 2011 after meeting while Edwards served time in a federal prison for his role in a bribery and extortion scheme to rig riverboat casino licenses. They have a blended family of six children, including Trina Edwards' teenage sons, and hope to welcome a baby of their own. In the interview, Trina Edwards declined to confirm whether she is expecting a baby. She said their efforts to conceive a child are part of the show's story line. Greene revisits his La. income tax bill State Rep. Hunter Greene, R-Baton Rouge, tried to persuade the Legislature in 2011 to get rid of the state's personal income tax. The effort failed. Two years later, Gov. Bobby Jindal is resurrecting the idea. "I know where they can find a good draft of the bill," Greene quipped Thursday. Alario offers quipof losing tax work Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, joked Thursday that the Jindal administration is trying to put a dent in his business as a tax preparer. The Jindal administration recently announced plans to eliminate the state's personal and corporate income taxes. Alario said he will stay busy preparing federal returns. "Until the feds change their mind, I guess we'll still be doing it," he said. Kennedy moves on to higher education State Treasurer John Kennedy is hitting the classroom again. Kennedy has been substitute teaching on occasion in public schools. Now he's in a higher education setting. He shared on Facebook: "I'll be teaching a course at the LSU law school this semester, starting next Wednesday. State constitutional law." Kennedy aide Jason Redmond said his boss has been teaching a class most every year since 2003. State jobs lost at fiscal midpoint: 1,116 Halfway through the state fiscal year, 1,116 state employees have lost their jobs, according to the latest state Civil Service report submitted to legislators. The number represents one-third of the job layoffs that have occurred since Gov. Bobby Jindal took office in 2008. The total job layoffs reported by Civil Service is 3,316.

Blood banking is the process that takes place in the laboratory to ensure that donated blood, or blood products, are safe before they are used in blood transfusions and other medical procedures. Blood banking includes typing the blood for transfusion and testing for infectious diseases.
According to the American Association of Blood Banks:
Most blood donors are volunteers. However, sometimes, a patient may want to donate blood a couple of weeks before undergoing surgery, so that his/her blood is available in case of a blood transfusion. Donating blood for yourself is called an autologous donation. Volunteer blood donors must pass certain criteria, including the following:
Some states permit persons younger than 17 years to donate blood, with parental consent.
A certain set of standard tests are performed in the laboratory once blood is donated, including, but not limited to, the following:
According to the American Association of Blood Banks, distribution of blood types in the US includes the following:
While blood, or one of its components, may be transferred, each component serves many functions, including the following:
Albumin, immune globulins, and clotting factor concentrates may also be separated and processed for transfusions.

Sun Devils Hold Off Golden Bears
BERKELEY, Calif. - J.R. Redmond rushed for 114 yards and a score and caught one of Ryan Kealy's two touchdown passes as 16th-ranked Arizona State kept its Rose Bowl hopes alive, squeaking out a 28-21 Pac-10 Conference victory over California.
|Creig Spann took a Ryan Kealy pass 65 yards for his first career touchdown. (File Photo)
The Sun Devils (7-2, 5-1 Pac-10), who have won four straight games, took a share of the Pac-10 lead, along with Washington State and UCLA, thanks to Washington's loss to Oregon. Arizona State, which beat Washington State last week, hosts Oregon next weekend.
"As early as last February I met with the team, and my words to them were you have the talent to go back to the Rose Bowl and try to get done what you didn't get done," Sun Devils coach Bruce Snyder said of his team's Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State last season. "The key issue is whether you come together as a team, but we have the talent to be there."
Kealy hit Redmond with a 28-yard touchdown pass and found Tariq McDonald for the conversion with 4:40 left in the third quarter, building a 28-7 lead.
"We had a slow start offenisvely. The defense went out there and got after them," Redmond said. "But we started to calm down, make the right calls and move the ball down field."
California (3-6, 1-5) stormed back in the fourth quarter, as Tarik Smith scored on an 18-yard scamper and Justin Vedder capped a nine-play, 67-yard drive with an eight-yard scoring strike to Bobby Shaw with 4:39 to play.
But the Sun Devils, who have won 10 of their last 11 games on the road, picked up enough first downs to run out the clock.
"In the fourth quarter, I was proud of that (Cal's offense). The fact that we came out and battled back," Golden Bears coach Tom Holmoe said. "But they ran the clock down at the end. We had a shot, a legitimate shot at the end and that is what we can play for."
Kealy completed 14-of-33 passes for 273 yards for Arizona State, which has lost just once in its last 14 Pac-10 contests. The Sun Devils outgained California 429 yards to 299.
"Once things got going we really drove the ball down well," Kealy said. "Cal played a hell of a game. They are a really good team that came to play and hit us in the mouth a couple of times and woke us up."
Vedder completed 15-of-30 passes for 173 yards with two interceptions and hooked up with Shaw six times for 76 yards. Shaw set the school record for receptions in a season with 67, moving two past the 1992 record of Sean Dawkins. He also surpassed Brian Treggs as Cal's all-time receptions leader with 172.
"It's bittersweet. You feel like you can't enjoy it to the fullest because you didn't win the game, but you have to enjoy what you have, and I will enjoy the whole experience when it's all said and done," Shaw said of his record-breaking night.
Following a fumble by Vedder at his own 8-yard line, Arizona State got on the board as Redmond went up the middle for a five-yard touchdown with 7:31 left in the second quarter.
"J.R. Redmond is clearly one of the dominant players in our conference, and maybe one of the truly great players in the nation," Snyder said. "We are a good football team when he is in the game."
Kealy connected with Creig Spann on a 65-yard touchdown pass just 96 seconds after Redmond's score, and Robert Nycz booted a 42-yard field goal as the first half expired for a 17-0 lead.
When asked about being tied for first place in the Pac 10, Spann said, "It feels real good. It lets us know that we really are in the Rose Bowl hunt. If we just keep winning and doing our job, we'll be there."
Cornerback Derrick Gardner returned Redmond's fumble 72 yards down the right sideline for a score early in the third quarter to get California on the board. But Nycz answered with a 23-yard field goal less than three minutes later for a 20-7 edge.
Defensive lineman Jeremy Staat collected three of Arizona State's six sacks.

Send Us Your Happy Tail
Do you have a Happy Tail? Send us your Petfinder pet's happy ending story.
From Susan of Newton, MA:
We adopted Frankie in 2005. She had been abandoned and was found tied to a fence. She was half her normal weight, matted and scared. She looked awful in her Petfinder photo, and we almost passed over her. So glad we took a chance! I named her Frankie after St. Francis. It took a little patience and about six months for her to trust us and her new home. She's such fun, loves her toys, loves us and we feel very grateful to have her. Thanks Petfinder!

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Animal Trapping (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Gophers and Moles
Lethal traps are more commonly used on gophers and moles than live traps. Trap in spring and fall when these critters are most active. No bait is needed; just place the trap in a main tunnel and disguise it well. Wear gloves so you don't contaminate the trap with your scent, and cover the tunnel with soil. Move traps within 2 to 3 days if you haven't caught anything.
Raccoons and Opossums
Bait with sardines, marshmallows, cat food, or corn. Place the bait in the back of the trap so it closes properly. This will prevent these chubby varmints from backing out of the trap after eating. Place the trap near a food source, (e.g. your ripening corn patch) and keep it strongly anchored. Use caution when you release the animal.
Skunks are attracted by fishy smells, so bait their traps with sardines, fish scraps, or seafood-flavored cat food. Cover the trap with a tarp, since skunks like to explore dark areas. If you're using a live trap, the cover will also protect you if they loose their spray. If you're unfortunate enough to get sprayed, wash yourself and clothes with tomato juice, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or deodorizer made from orange-peel extract to remove the odor.
Beans, lettuce, carrots, and apples are some favorite woodchuck foods. Place the trap near their burrow entrance when you first sight them. Trap only in summer. Spring trapping may orphan a burrow fully of young, and in the fall as they are readying to hibernate.Photograph by Jenna Antonino DiMare, National Gardening Association

Thíra : Michelin's recommendations
Seen from the deep harbour, Thíra, capital of the island of the same name, seems to perch precariously on top of the cliff. From the landing-stage, or "Skála", a path climbs up the steep cliff face, offering spectacular views. To the west, the town is like a balcony above the sea: the terrace next to the Orthodox cathedral has splendid views. To the east, a layer of lava covered by stocky vineyards slopes down to the Mediterranean. The New Museum where the famous Akrotíri frescoes are on display is worth a visit.

What is Controlled Zone Parking?
Can I really access all freeways from every single gate?
Does General Admission parking ever sell out at Dodger Stadium?
Do those with preferred parking leave from the same gate they entered?
How much is General Parking?
What is an oversized vehicle?
How does Disabled Parking work?
It's simple. Controlled Zone Parking means that you park in a lot based on the gate you enter. For example, if you enter through the Sunset Gate, you will be directed to park in Parking Lot 1 or 2. When leaving the game, you will be required to exit out of the same gate you entered.
Yes, you can! It may not be your usual travel pattern, but you can access every freeway from any gate at Dodger Stadium.
For full capacity games, it is possible that General Admission and Preferred parking will sell out. Purchasing parking in advance is always encouraged, particularly for these games. Arriving early is recommended on these days as well.
Those with preferred parking may enter and leave through any of the Dodger Stadium gates.
Cars are $10 in advance, $20 at the gate, no in-and-out privileges and no refunds. Buses, Rv's, Limos and any other oversized vehicles are $35 in advance, $50 at the gate.
There is an ample amount of disabled parking spaces located in parking lots B, G, N, & P. Parking cashiers and attendants will direct those with a valid state-issued disabled parking permit and/or license plate to these areas. Locations are first-come, first-served. Once ADA stalls are filled, you will be directed to alternate locations. The Dodgers offer shuttle services to disabled fans; you'll be assisted based on the call queue on a first-come, first-served basis.

Important: The following provisions form the basis of the MileagePlus® Program. These provisions are intended to protect you, the members of the MileagePlus Program, and United Airlines and its affiliates (collectively, "United"). Your participation in the MileagePlus Program will be governed by these provisions, and it is your responsibility to read and understand all of them. For more information, contact the MileagePlus Service Center or visit the MileagePlus website at mileageplus.com. Any reference herein to United shall be deemed to also refer to MileagePlus Holdings, LLC.
1a. United may, among other things, withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any award; increase the mileage, cash required, applicable co-pays or number of certificates required for any award; modify or regulate the transferability of awards or benefits; add an unlimited number of blackout dates; or limit the number of award seats available to any or all destinations. Members, in accumulating mileage or certificates, may not rely upon the continued availability of an award or award level, and members may not be able to obtain all offered awards or use awards to all destinations or on all flights.
16a. United, in its sole discretion, may permit MileagePlus individual members to credit mileage earned for flights on other airlines to their individual MileagePlus accounts, and other airlines or entities may, by agreement with United, permit their program members to credit to their accounts mileage earned for flights on United. In such cases, unless otherwise expressly provided, such mileage may be credited in only one frequent flyer or loyalty program.
18a. In the case of air travel, mileage will be credited only for flights actually flown by the member. Such mileage will be credited in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program in effect at the time of travel, not at the time that air travel is purchased, booked or reserved. Mileage credit will not be awarded for flight cancellations. United expressly reserves the right to establish additional means of accruing mileage, to delete or modify any or all of the means currently recognized or to exclude specific types of transactions or tickets from the accumulation of mileage, in each case, with or without notice.
26a. Each member shall have the responsibility to notify United of any erroneous or fraudulent mileage deduction from such member's account within twelve (12) months of the date of the deduction. United will review such member's claim and reserves the right to require proof, documentation or certification from such member during the review. Crediting back to such member's account the miles claimed to be erroneously deducted will be determined by United in its sole discretion after review and United's decision will be considered final.
32a. Redemptions of any non-air awards will be subject to the additional terms and conditions associated with redemption of the applicable award, including any terms or conditions established by the partner that is providing any such non-air award.
33a. After any award, other than an air award, is issued, a service charge may be imposed for each change requested by the member, which necessitates the reissuance, adjustment or cancellation of the award.
36a.The accumulation of mileage does not entitle Program members to any vested rights with respect to any awards or the Program. Awards for air travel shall be valid only to destinations served both at the time of the issuance of the award ticket and at the time of departure, and neither United nor its partners shall be liable for schedule changes that result in the cancellation of service to any destination. If a member fails to comply with any published award rules for air travel, at United's sole discretion, such member may be accommodated on a different flight than originally selected, seated in a lower class of service, denied ticketing or boarding, or be subject to other action as provided herein, and such member will not be entitled to compensation in connection with any such action.
39a. Each such member shall be a business that (i) is duly organized and validly existing in the United States under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has 1,000 employees or less, and (ii) is enrolled in the MileagePlus small business network ("Small Business Network").
39b. Each Small Business Network member is responsible for ensuring that membership and participation in the Program complies with the applicable policies and practices of such small business. Any act of a Small Business Network member's owners, directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors shall be deemed to be an act of such member.
39c. Notwithstanding the prohibition in Rule 6 above regarding delegating or granting access to third parties, Small Business Network members may participate in the Program by means of an authorized representative of the business. The authorized representative of the business shall be the individual designated by the member as its primary contact.
By participating in the Program, each member represents that the individual designated as its authorized representative has been duly appointed and authorized as such and that the authorized representative of the business is at least eighteen (18) years of age. Each member shall be responsible for ensuring they record and maintain account information in such manner so as to comply with the policies and practices of their business. Requests for changes to a member's account, such as a change of the authorized representative, will not be honored without the member satisfying established requirements for account validation.
39d. In addition to the restrictions in Rule 7 above, none of accrued mileage, certificates or awards are transferable as part of a transfer of or assignment by a business.
39e. A Small Business Network member providing mileage awards to its employees for employee recognition or incentive purposes, as opposed to wages or compensation for services, shall not constitute a violation of Rule 8 above.
39f. Small Business Network members are not eligible to accrue mileage for flight activity.
39g. Miles may not be accrued by the Small Business Network member's account and any individual member account(s) (including any member account of such Small Business Network member's owners, directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors) for the same qualifying account activity, except as expressly allowed under the applicable MileagePlus partner's offer.
39h. By participating in the Small Business Network, Small Business Network members authorize United to collect, maintain, use and share their information, including, without limitation, names, addresses account, and other information in accordance with the MileagePlus Small Business Network Privacy Policy which applies solely to Small Business Network members. You can learn more about how United collects, maintains, uses and shares your information in the MileagePlus Small Business Network Privacy Policy which may be viewed at http://smallbusinessnetwork.unitedmileageplus.com.

Textile arts flourish in the rural villages of western India's Thar Desert: Wide swaths of hand-block-printed fabrics are laid in the sun to dry. Women in Rajasthan create multicolored fabric mosaics using embroidery and appliqué. And artisans throughout the desert region practice bandhani, a deceptively simple tie-dyeing technique. Intricate patterns are created by wrapping the fabric with string before dyeing it. Bandhani cloth is often used for women's shawls, but here the technique is adapted for a silky collection of travel-ready garments that drape beautifully and multiply your travel wardrobe.
Jacket features a single hook-and-eye closure at the neckline and bandhani appliqué circles. Pair it with our Black Bandhani Shell, or over our Black Bandhani Sleeveless Dress.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — After days of slowing moving toward the Gulf Coast, the storm system Karen has dissipated.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says that as of Sunday morning, only remnants of Karen remain, and are moving eastward off the coast about 13 mph. Forecasters expect what remains of what had been a tropical storm to continue moving generally east over the next day to two days. Maximum sustained winds remain near 30 mph, with higher gusts, and forecasters say localized coastal flooding could still occur along portions of the coast. Rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected.
Earlier Sunday, much of the Gulf Coast began calling off preparations and evacuations as Karen weakened and stalled.
Much of the Gulf Coast was returning to normal Sunday as the storm Karen, downgraded to a tropical depression, lumbered off Louisiana's extreme southeast coast.
The storm threatened to unleash heavy rains on low-lying areas, but southeastern Louisiana parishes had lifted evacuation orders, and Plaquemines Parish closed a shelter where more than 80 people had taken refuge Saturday.
"We got some rain, no street flooding, so we're looking pretty good. ... We're not expecting any flooding," Plaquemines Parish spokeswoman Caitlin Campbell said Sunday morning.
All tropical storm warnings had been discontinued. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm would likely downgrade further and move later Sunday near or over parts of southeastern Louisiana. It was drifting to the northeast near 2 mph with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph, and was expected to cross near or over the Florida Panhandle sometime Monday. Rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches were expected.
Even as some preparations were dropped, forecasters and emergency officials warned residents to keep an eye on developments.
Wind and waves uncovered tar balls on the beaches of Grand Isle, La., and crews headed out Sunday to check on them, Mayor David Camardelle Jr. said. He was sure they were from the 2010 Gulf oil spill. "After a spill like that in the Gulf of Mexico, anytime low pressure stirs up the Gulf it comes back and stirs up the oil on the beach. Tar balls have been spread all over. We always expected it," he said.
In Lafitte, La., Mayor Timothy Kerner said he was relieved the storm lost steam and didn't continue to push up the tide in his flood-prone community. The water lapped at the edge of the main roadway through town in some low-lying areas but stopped short of flooding streets and lawns.
"Everything's good," Kerner said Sunday morning. "It's looking really good for Lafitte. The tide is already starting to recede, so we're in great shape."
Kerner said crews would work to remove the sandbags placed in low-lying stretches of shoreline along Bayou Barataria, which empties into the Gulf of Mexico. He said the precautionary measure was worth it: "It's always easier to pick up sandbags than to clean up a flood."
Some of the flood gates closed Saturday to protect waterways from storm-driven tides were reopened Sunday. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had not done so by 9 a.m., but Plaquemines Parish was opening the floodgate at Empire, about 40 miles up the Mississippi River from the Gulf of Mexico.
Vessel traffic at the mouth of the Mississippi River, halted since Friday morning, resumed at 12:15 a.m. Sunday, the Coast Guard said.
The Port of New Orleans remained busy, port officials said in a news release, with some of the nine ships at dock there still working cargo. Two cruise ships delayed by the storm were expected at New Orleans on Sunday, Carnival Cruise Lines said in a news release.
In Mississippi, Emergency Management Agency spokesman Brett Carr said the state's National Guard was demobilized Saturday and emergency operations were being scaled back.
Similar action was taken in Florida, with the state emergency response team returning to normal operations. Pensacola saw wind and some clouds Sunday, though the surf was less rough than earlier in the weekend.
In Alabama, intermittent heavy rains moved across the coast and winds were brisk, but the weather didn't keep tourists off the beach. A few people fished in the surf.
Authorities said dangerous rip currents were still present, and double red flags flew to indicate no one should enter the water. Stephie Burford of Warrior, Ala., kept one hand on her visor, the other holding her coffee, as she went for a morning walk on the sand.
"This wind is just tearing you up," she said. I didn't even consider bringing my beach umbrella or coming out here to do anything but just walk because the wind is so bad."
Plaisance reported from Lafitte, La. Associated Press reporters Melissa Nelson and Suzette Laboy in Pensacola, Fla., and Jay Reeves in Gulf Shores, Ala., contributed to this story.

ZF-10563: WinCache Support
Zend Framework does not currently implement WinCache support. I've enclosed a copy of the relevant files, edited or created to add WinCache support.
The implementation currently includes the same API handlers found for the current APC caching implementation.
WinCache.php is added to Zend/Cache/Backend.
I would love to include this. However, I need a few things first:
- Unit tests. You can use an existing test case as a template.
- Information on requirements to use it: I'm assuming IIS + WinCache, but some explanation of what we need in order to run the tests, as well as end-user docs for those wanting to use it, are necessary.
Thanks in advance!
As the implementation of the WinCache API is the same as the APC API, making a WincacheBackendTest.php from the ApcBackendTest.php file, replacing the Zend_Cache_Backend_Apc calls by Zend_Cache_Backend_Wincache calls, will probably do the trick (I am not quite familiar with these testings).
To make a test environment, you can easily install php on IIS with the "PHP Manager for IIS" on http://phpmanager.codeplex.com/documentation (fcgi mode and IIS >= 7). You'll need a NTS version of PHP and the wincache dll provided on http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincache/

Abram Ayala Falls To NCAA Sixth Seed, Ends Terrific Sophomore Season
Last year, Abram Ayala won six matches as a freshman. As a sophomore, Ayala won 27 times, placed at the EIWA Championships and reached the second day of the NCAA Championships. His brilliant turnaround season finally concluded Friday, when he fell to sixth-seeded Richard Perry of Bloomsburg in the second round of consolation matches.
Ayala advanced to the second round Thursday evening with a 9-7 victory over Marshall Haas of The Citadel, but an upset in the championship draw sent Ayala against one of the nation's top competitors. Perry was able to score the first takedown, and he continued to counter every shot by an aggressive Ayala on his way to a 14-6 major decision.
Ayala, whose other loss in the tournament came to the fifth-seeded Kyven Gadson of Iowa State, gained all of his points on escapes, and was within a manageable 6-4 deficit in the second period when he shot at Perry. The Bloomsburg senior was able to fight off each attempt, and he finally got his own takedown that opened an 8-4 lead and helped secure riding time. An escape in the third and two late takedowns were enough for the major decision.
Ayala concluded his stellar season with a 27-12 record, and he was one of five Princeton wrestlers (Brett Harner, Adam Krop, Kevin Moylan and Ray O'Donnell) to place at the EIWA Championships. As a team, Princeton went 11-4, meaning it had both double-digit wins and fewer than five losses for the first time since the 1980-81 season; it also shared second place in the Ivy League.

Spooktacular Halloween Spider Party (14 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Spiders, spiders everywhere, it's a Spooktacular Halloween party! This classic black and orange Halloween party features creepy crawly (but super cute) printables from Swish Designs.
Using simple store bought items I created some spooktacular Halloween treats. I made chocolate cupcakes in my black and white polka dot baking cups and topped them with orange frosting and embellished them with spiders and cupcake toppers from the party package. I added them to my spider web cupcake stand with orange cups filled with popcorn and candy corns. Spider web plates held licorice bundles, Oreo cookies were tied with orange and white baker twine for some "creepy cookies" and white powdered donuts made tasty "spider bites." My favorite element was the "sticky webs" made with purple cotton candy and striped paper straws.
