The spill, caused by a ruptured pipe near the Georgia Highway 17 bridge over Reedy Creek, involved de-gritted kaolin slurry owned by KaMin LLC, whose Georgia offices are in Macon.
"Based on the 679-ton number, they calculated the release was 187,000 gallons of de-gritted kaolin slurry," said EPD spokesman Kevin Chambers.
The 7.5-mile pipline has been taken out of service until the cause of the failure can be determined, said KaMin vice president Doug Carter.
The company is also developing a monitoring plan to evaluate the impact of the spill. Reedy Creek flows into Brier Creek.

UMass Skates To 5-5 Tie With Vermont
Dec. 28, 2003
BURLINGTON, Vt. - The No. 9-ranked University of Massachusetts hockey team jumped out to a 4-2 lead, but needed a late third-period goal to tie Vermont, 5-5, in the final game of the Sheraton / Banknorth Classic. With the tie, UMass improves to 9-4-5 overall and Vermont improves to 2-11-3. The tie ends UMass' non-conference slate of the schedule.
UMass had the game's first good scoring opportunity as Greg Mauldin (Holliston, Mass.) fed Marvin Degon (Millbury, Mass.) alone in front of the net, but Vermont goaltender Travis Russell made a pad save on a low shot to keep the game scoreless. Shortly after the save, Vermont went on the game's first power play and capitalized when Jaime Sifers lifted a shot on a partial breakaway past UMass goalie Gabe Winer (Stoughton, Mass.) just 4:58 into the game. UMass got the game's next power play, just over 10 minutes into the stanza, and UMass knotted the game at 1-1 after a good shift. Mauldin took a beautiful feed from Thomas P?ck (Klagenfurst, Austria) and wristed a shot that hit the crossbar, but bounced in after getting caught up in traffic for his fifth goal of the season at the 12:13 mark. John Toffey (Barnstable, Mass.) also assisted on the netter. UMass killed off a Vermont power play near the end of the first period and the two squads skated out the rest of the first period at 1-1.
UMass nearly went up 2-1 off a Sean Regan (South Boston, Mass.) shot that was deflected by a Vermont defenseman that trickled just wide of the goal six minutes into the second frame. Vermont went on its third power play shortly after Regan's shot, and it was the Minuteman that capitalized. James Solon (Acton, Mass.) picked off an errant Vermont pass, dropped it back to P?ck, who wristed a slapshot past Russell's left shoulder for a 2-1 advantage. However, on the same Catamount power play, Oriel McHugh found a seam through traffic and slid a shot to the far left post just 22 seconds after UMass' goal to knot the score at two. Vermont again went on the power play shortly after the score, but the Minutemen killed it easily to keep the game knotted at 2-2. After matching minors, UMass went up 3-2 on a 2-on-2 break when Degon streaked down the right side and Mauldin fed him behind the defense with a perfect pass that Degon deposited into the back of the net at the 13:59 mark., with another assist to P?ck.. The Minutemen continued the offensive pressure and, still skating 4-on-4, P?ck scored his second goal of the night with a laser from just inside the blue-line that beat Russell stick-side for his 12th goal of the season. Craig MacDonald (Canton, Mass.) and Degon assisted on the goal at the 14:56 mark. Vermont clawed back when Dan Owens batted the puck out of midair into the back of the net at the 15:59 mark. After a lenghthy discussion, the goal stood and Vermont was back to within one at 4-3.
Just 26 seconds into the third period, Vermont tied the game after Winer couldn't corral a rebound and Baron Becker slapped the puck into the back of the net to tie the game at 4-4. UMass had the game's next best opportunity with only its second power-play chance of the game just under three minutes into the third frame. After several good looks that Russell stoned and a Vermont breakaway that hit the far post, the Catamounts killed the UMass power play. UMass kept up the pressure and Russell made two big saves, one on a P?ck one-timer from his side, that kept the contest tied. Vermont then took the lead after two great saves by Winer. Ben Driver lifted a shot past Winer, who was on his side, on the third try by the Catamounts at the 10:57 mark for a 5-4 advantage. With the Catamounts playing a defensive style, the Minutemen used a great shift to even the score at 5-5. MacDonald played a backhanded pass to Peter Trovato (North Attleboro, Mass.), who one-timed a shot five-hole at the 16:28 mark to tie the game. Jeff Lang (Westwood, Mass.) also assisted on the goal. The Minutemen survived some scary moments in the final minute, including a goal that was disallowed after the final regulation buzzer sounded, and UMass was heading into overtime for the fifth time in eight games.
In the overtime session, Vermont had the best chance, but Winer made a good save on a partial breakaway. Garrett Summerfield (Endicott, N.Y.) also had a good backhanded look for the Minutemen, and Tim Vitek (Dresden, Onjtario) had a strong slapshot from the left side, but Russell made two glove saves to keep the game tied and the two teams skated to a 5-5 tie. Thomas P?ck was named to the All-Tournament Team and was named the Tournament MVP after scoring seven points on the weekend with two goals and five assists.
The Minutemen begin the second half of Hockey East play with a 2:00 p.m. matchup at UMass Lowell on Jan. 3. For ticket information, call the UMass ticket office at 1-866-UMASS-TIX.

My experience with TFS is limited. We run Team Foundation Server off a build server I will denote as 'Alice.' Alice has been working great until we ugraded to VS 2010; and with the urgency of a build coming up in the next few weeks, my question is how do we get a successful build? I followed the instructions listed here: http://richardsbraindump.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-build-vs2010-solutions-using.html, however the build fails. My pathway towards the solution: had me put VS 2010 on Alice, instead of turning off the build service and turning it back on, I simply restarted the server*, modified a pathway as it was listed (previously "" and Norton Ghost 2003 gave me a problem with that in the beginning).

DeMaine Kitchen has delinquent tax issues and other financial problems
YOUNGSTOWN — Mayoral candidate DeMaine Kitchen, the mayor's chief of staff/secretary, has delinquent tax issues and other financial problems dating back to 2005.
Among the problems was a 2007 foreclosure on his former house at 3302 Castalia Ave., that was purchased by his father, and numerous garnishments for failing to pay First USA Bank, Home Savings and Loan Co., the state Department of Taxation, Mahoning County for property taxes on his current house at 77 Struthers Liberty Road, and even the city of Youngstown for not paying income taxes in 2009.
"I had a difficult financial time in the mid-2000s and I'm not shying away from those problems," said Kitchen, an independent mayoral candidate. "During the bad times of the mid-2000s. I was working a commission-based job, had one income to support a wife and three kids. There's no excuses. It is what it is."
For the complete story, read Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Was he indicted?
This man in no way has the skills needed to run this city. Youngstown people deserve a well-qualified mayor.
No wonder he approved funding for The Lemon Grove!

The Mark Twain Anthology: Great Writers on His Life and Works
Edited by Shelley Fisher Fishkin • 492 pages • Over 60 authors
See the table of contents
When Rudyard Kipling traveled to England the following year and soon became a literary celebrity, Mark Twain did not immediately connect the young visitor with the rising star of English letters—but Twain's daughter Susy, enamored with the idea that anyone could hail from such an exotic locale, had kept Kipling's calling card with its address in India. Twain then read Plain Tales from the Hills and wrote to a friend, "whereas Kipling's stories are plenty good enough on a first reading they very greatly improve on a second." Mark Twain later recalled his initial encounter with Kipling: "I believed that he knew more than any person I had met before, and I knew that he knew that I knew less than any person he had met before—though he did not say it, and I was not expecting that he would. . . . He was a stranger to me and to all the world, and remained so for twelve months, then he became suddenly known, and universally known."
(Note: The "Robert" to which Mark Twain refers during his conversation with Kipling is Robert Elsmere, an 1888 novel by Mrs. Humphrey Ward.)
You are a contemptible lot, over yonder. Some of you are Commissioners, and some Lieutenant-Governors, and some have the V. C., and a few are privileged to walk about the Mall arm in arm with the Viceroy; but I have seen Mark Twain this golden morning, have shaken his hand, and smoked a cigar—no, two cigars—with him, and talked with him for more than two hours! Understand clearly that I do not despise you; indeed, I don't. I am only very sorry for you, from the Viceroy downward. To soothe your envy and to prove that I still regard you as my equals, I will tell you all about it.
They said in Buffalo that he was in Hartford, Conn.; and again they said "perchance he is gone upon a journey to Portland"; and a big, fat drummer vowed that he knew the great man intimately, and that Mark was spending the summer in Europe—which information so upset me that I embarked upon the wrong train, and was incontinently turned out by the conductor three-quarters of a mile from the station, amid the wilderness of railway tracks. Have you ever, encumbered with great-coat and valise, tried to dodge diversely-minded locomotives when the sun was shining in your eyes? But I forgot that you have not seen Mark Twain, you people of no account!. . . . If you don't see the full selection below, click here (PDF) or click here (Google Docs) to read it—free!

Cruise travelers who booked cabins on the maiden voyage of Celebrity Solstice now find they actually hold tickets to the new ship's fourth sailing. That's because Celebrity has just pushed up the debut of Solstice and added three additional departures.
Celebrity Solstice will now sail its maiden voyage on November 23, as opposed to the originally scheduled December 14. The Thanksgiving cruise will be a seven-night sailing out of Ft. Lauderdale, with visits to San Juan, St. Maarten and St. Kitts. Two additional seven-night Caribbean cruises on November 30 and December 7 will offer the same itinerary.
Passengers booked on the December 14 sailing will have the opportunity to rebook on the new maiden voyage. From now through June 12, travelers can switch their reservation to the same stateroom or suite on the November 23 departure without penalty. Plus, Celebrity will reimburse each guest up to $100 for airline change fees, as long as acceptable proof of the incurred costs is provided by January 31, 2009.
Bookings are now open to the public for the November 30 and December 7 cruises. New reservations will not be accepted for Solstice's maiden voyage until after June 12, to allow passengers on the December 14 voyage time to switch their bookings.

A soldier fired shots at fellow soldiers at Fort Hood using a .45 caliber Smith & Wesson at approximately 4 p.m. local time today. The shooter was under diagnosis for PTSD but had not yet been diagnosed, according to General Mark Milley. Three soldiers are confirmed dead in addition to the shooter himself, confirmed the general. An additional 16 soldiers are wounded and being treated at two area hospitals.
"There is no indication that this is related to terrorism," said the general.
General Milley would not identify the shooter, stating his next of kin has not yet been notified. Several media outlets however have identified him as 34 year old Spc. Ivan Lopez.
PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can develop after an incident of trauma or extreme stress. Symptoms include flashbacks, bad dreams, and frightening thoughts.
Fort Hood is located in Killeen, Texas. The investigation is ongoing. A press conference will be held again tomorrow.

A carefully disguised TARDIS perhaps?
you're right, it may well be a TARDIS!
Better look around for Daleks too...
If it is a Tardis, it is definitely a stinky one.
That's all part of the disguise. It has a state of the art stink field generator.
Ooh! I had one of these on my campus as well:

A Tennessee woman who tied her baby to the train of her wedding gown so that the baby could be part of the wedding -- and then made the mistake of posting a photo of said baby tied to the wedding gown on Facebook -- has come under fire from just about everyone for her lack of decorum and good sense. The photo, of course, went viral. But what makes the very strange wedding incident even more outrageous, the bride, one Shona Carter-Brooks, has gone on to defend her actions.
The Washington Times reported June 3 that Shona Carter-Brooks of Jackson, Tenn., is defending tying her newborn to the train of her wedding gown as she walked down the aisle at Elam Baptist Church in Ripley, Tenn. In fact, she took to Facebook to do so.
"FB family & friends we are outstanding! See we not weary in well doing, for in due season this too shall pass!" she wrote Friday of the criticism she was receiving. "We rejoicing for we're too driven to be drowned, victorious to be defeated, and content for God is able! We love you all for your support, love, and encouraging words."
She also posted: "The answer is we do what we want, when we want long as Jesus on our side everything worked out fine and gone continue to be fine," apparently invoking the time-honored Jesus-is-my-copilot clause. "Most important while y'all got ya feelings in us we had our hearts in Christ which covers all!! So keep ya mouths running for it was just that."
It might have been "just that," but quite a few on the Internet are condemning the bride and her new husband for being insensitive and somewhat irresponsible.
"She dumb as hell! Her and her husband," wrote one commenter, according to the New York Daily News. "That poor child born to 2 supreme idiots."
The Daily News reported that there does not seem to be a video of the wedding, just the photo of the baby attached to the wedding dress train as the bride strolls down the church aisle. And there have been no reports of injury or harm coming to the child.
But a photo of a baby tied to a wedding dress notwithstanding, Shona Carter-Brooks' offbeat wedding gown accessory controversy wasn't the only strange wedding story this week.
A 58-year-old New York man was stabbed repeatedly in the leg at a wedding reception after an argument over who was going to take home the leftovers and some cans of Sterno, the compact heating agent. The New York Post reported that Juan Martinez later died of his wounds. Martinez' attacker? His 57-year-old cousin - the groom.

|Accepted Version
View at publisher
We report on key studies on the dynamics of black holes (BHs) in gas-rich galaxy mergers that underscore the vital role played by gas dissipation in promoting BH inspirals down to the smallest scales ever probed with the use of high-resolution numerical simulations. In major mergers, the BHs sink rapidly under the action of gas-dynamical friction while orbiting inside the massive nuclear disc resulting from the merger. The BHs then bind and form a Keplerian binary on a scale of \lesssim \hspace*{-3pt} 5 pc. In minor mergers, BH pairing proceeds down to the minimum scale explored of 10–100 pc only when the gas fraction in the less massive galaxy is comparatively large to avoid its tidal and/or ram pressure disruption and the wandering of the light BH in the periphery of the main halo. Binary BHs enter the gravitational wave dominated inspiral only when their relative distance is typically of ~10−3 pc. If the gas preserves the degree of dissipation expected in a star-burst environment, binary decay continues down to 0.1 pc, the smallest length scale ever attained. Stalling versus hardening below \lesssim\hspace*{-3pt} 0.1 pc is still matter of deep investigations, and there is no unique answer depending on the yet unexplored dynamics of gas in the vicinity of the binary.

March 08–Oklahomans went to the polls Tuesday in the Democratic and Republican primaries to cast votes in the presidential election.
Forty-three delegates were up for grabs in the Republican primary and 50 in the Democrat primary.
In Pryor, Mary Lou Carpender voted for Newt Gingrich in the Republican primary because, she said, he "has experience, he's the right age, his sister's gay," which, she joked, "would make things interesting in the White House. "
William and Diane Crawford voted for pro-life activist Randall Terry in the Democratic primary "because I won't vote for Obama. "v
He said he had seen Terry's ads on television.
Diane said she voted for Terry because "he has good morals and values. "
President Barack Obama did have supporters at the polls Tuesday in Pryor.
Henretta Miller, 80, said regarding Obama, "The good Lord put him where he is and we want him to finish the job. " She said racism is the reason some people don't accept Obama. "I think 99 percent of his problems are attributed to the color of his skin," she said.
Mary Cartwright, 88, was voting with her husband, Mark, 88, a veteran of World War II.
"It's not fair (Obama) inherited these problems from the Republicans," Mary Cartwright said.
She cited former President George W. Bush as a prime example of Republican troubles.
She said that she likes the Obama's health care plan because she began nursing in 1942 and has seen a lot of hardships on people who didn't have health care or any money.
Mark Cartwright said he couldn't vote for anyone other than Obama, when he considered the Republican candidates.
Cartwright admitted to voting for "Dr. No the first time around. " Dr. No is a reference to Sen. Tom Coburn, who is a physician and often casts a no vote on bills in Congress. Coburn endorsed Mitt Romney for president.
Lola Flint, 88, voted for Terry, saying she didn't want to vote for Obama even though she believes the state of government is not all his fault.
Another World War II veteran, Wilfred Kester, 87, of Pryor said he voted for Romney in the Republican primary. "I think he's a good man," Kester said.
Oklahoma is one of 10 states which held Republican primaries or caucuses Tuesday. The other states are Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.
Democrats held primaries Tuesday in Georgia and Massachusetts, in addition to Oklahoma.
With 100 percent of the votes counted, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum swept Mayes County's Super Tuesday Republican primary, gathering 1,040 votes, or 38. 05 percent of the vote.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich recieved 888 votes, or 32. 49 percent; former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney recieved 500 votes, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul received 271.
Three candidates who dropped out of the race earlier garnered a few votes: Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann recieved 12 votes, Texas Gov. Rick Perry 17, and former Utah Gov. Jon Hunstman five.
In the Mayes County Democratic primary, Obama received 814 votes; Terry 437 votes; Oklahoma resident Jim Rogers 214; Bob Ely 129; Darcy G. Richardson 113.
Santorum won Oklahoma with 96,759 votes, followed by Romney 80,291, Gingrich 78,686 and Paul 27,572.
Obama won the Democratic vote state-wide with 63,028, followed by Terry 19,967, Rogers 15,328, Richardson 7,071 and Ely 5,227.
The Oklahoma primaries are closed primaries. Only registered members of that particular party may cast a ballot.
In Alaska, Romney won with 4,285 votes, followed by Santorum 3,860, Paul 3,175, Gingrich 1,865.
In Georgia, Gingrich won his home state with 424,918. Romney collected 233,177, followed by Santorum 176,159 and Paul 58,968.
Romney won Idaho with 27,514 votes. Santorum had 8,115, Paul 8,086, Gingrich 940.

I read this Tom Geismar interview on Logo Design Love today and I suggest anyone interested in logo design read it, too. Tom is truly one of the great logo designers of our time and his firm Chermayeff & Geismar, inc. is responsible for some of the most icon logos of all time including Chase, Mobil, the Rockefeller Center and my personal favorite NBC. The firm's logos are a testament to the fact that a good logo does not and should not require the use of photoshop or illustrator filters in order to be unique.
Further reading on Chermayeff & Geismar can be done on this article from Logo Design Love and this article from AIGA.

What if I cannot make it to the scheduled office hours?
If it becomes necessary during the semester, additional office hours will be scheduled and posted on this page. At this time, if making it to office hours conflicts with your schedule, email the treasurer and a time for you to bring the packets to the treasurer can be scheduled. However, bringing the packets to the schedules office hours will be the fastest way of obtaining your reimbursement
How long do I have to turn in my packets?
You will have two weeks after the event or last day of the conference to turn in your forms and have them approved. If this deadline falls on a day in between the weekly office hours, the forms must be turned in at the next available office hours or they will not be accepted.
How will I get my refund and how long will it take?
On the expense reimbursement forms there is a place to choose whether to have your check mailed or for you to pick it up. Checks are set out for pickup in the SOC late in the afternoon on Wednesdays. They will not notify you when your check is ready so you will have to check and see if it is in the check binder at the front desk. Checks are mailed on Friday afternoon, so depending on where it is being mailed it should arrive early the week after. Typically, the forms take 2 weeks to process before being set out or mailed.
For travel funding, checks will be sent to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and you will receive an e-mail when your check is ready to be picked up.
I haven't seen my check, what do I do?
If there is an issue with your paperwork, you should be emailed using the email address list on the expense reimbursement form. If you do not have your check after three weeks and have not received an email, let the treasurer know and a trace can be started. If you turn your paperwork in on a Wednesday, you should expect a check 2 weeks later and begin checking the check binder that week and the next before contacting the treasurer. Similarly, if you chose for the check to be mailed begin looking for it in the mailbox during the week starting 19 days later.
How can I ensure that my paperwork is not flawed and I get my money as quickly as possible?
Before accounting reimburses you, they want to make sure of two things. First, they want to make sure you spent the money. This means that you need to hold on to original, itemized receipts and make sure that they contain payment information, which is usually in the form of a credit card (XXXXXXXXX1234), Paypal, or cash. Keep in mind that paying with cash is the least preferable way to get a reimbursement should any problems arise as there is no trail (statement) that can be used as proof. The second thing accounting looks for is proof that the money was spent on the correct items. With travel, this means original boarding passes need to be kept if you are being reimbursed for a plane ticket and that your program guide with your presentation highlighted needs to be used to show you went to the conference and presented. When dealing with events, organizational meetings require an attendance list with the date and name of the event.
What if I do not have an original itemized receipt?
You need to fill out a missing receipt affidavit and include it before the receipt in the packet. This form can be found in the Tulane Accounts Payable Forms
What happens if I am receiving funding from multiple sources for the same airplane ticket?
Different funding sources may all require your original boarding passes. Check with the various sources and see who requires them. For the copies, on the page to which they should be taped write down the contact information of whoever has the originals so accounting can contact them if necessary.
How do I reimburse mileage for travel?
To reimburse mileage for car travel:
- It must be your own vehicle (ie, not a rental car)
- Gas is not separately reimbursed, but is included in mileage
- Mileage will only be reimbursed if it is cheaper than airfare to your destination
- You must include a google map showing the exact mileage from your start location to your finish location using the route you took/
How do I request payment for a department?
Departments can be paid either by a transfer of funds (for reimbursement) or through an Interdepartment Order (for services). Fill out both the request form, found here, and start the IT, found here.
When filling out the IT, please consult with your department administrator, and have them fill out their account information for the transfer.During office hours, the GSSA Treasurer will help you complete the IT.
Additional opportunities for funding may be available through:
What if there is an issue not covered in these FAQ's?
Strange situations arise and simply need to be addressed in a timely fashion. Here are some examples. If you get accepted for a travel award and then can't make it to the conference for some reason, let the treasurer know beforehand. If you apply again later on and did not contact the treasurer, you will be rejected. If you are travelling and cannot make it back before the deadline to turn in forms (usually more of a summertime issue), the treasurer needs to know before the deadline passes or he will not accept the late forms. Other issues will arise and the answer is simple contact the treasurer as soon as you are aware of it.
For any general questions about travel, please contact the GSSA Treasurer

Adam Friedrick, a plant manager and Marine Corps veteran, and William C. Lamb, a teacher and former mayor of Medina, are vying for Sharon Ray's seat on the Medina County Board of Commissioners. Both are Medina residents.
Ray, a Republican, announced last year she would not seek a third, four-year term.
In other county races, Auditor Michael E. Kovack and Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier are running unopposed for reelection.
Q: How would you address Medina County's budget crunch?
Friedrick: Revenues are near 2005 levels. Look at 2005 budget numbers and use them as a guide. Ensure all entities within the county are treated equally. No new or increased taxes.
Lamb: Medina County must examine every dollar of its expenses. Only a full-time commissioner can dedicate the hours necessary to personally review departments to determine what is necessary and what we can do without.
I served successfully for two terms as mayor of Medina. During that time I expanded services while never raising taxes. I believe our county is now in need of that type of committed service and experience.
Q: What are the biggest issues facing Medina County?
Friedrick: Decreasing revenues and the cuts that will be needed to make the budget work. It won't be easy or popular.
Lamb: Budget/economy. First we need to resolve the current financial issues. Then we need to develop a long-range financial and capital improvements plan.
By being fiscally conservative and only funding what is necessary, we foster a climate that helps businesses thrive. Healthy businesses not only provide jobs, but they grow a broader tax base that lightens the load on individual households.
Q: What projects should the county tackle in the next four years?
Friedrick: Anything that makes the county more business friendly. Ensure work being done by the Planning Commission as well as the MCEDC (Medina County Economic Development Corp.) continue. Market Foreign Trade Zones and the University Center and Innovation Park to businesses, especially those in the tech field.
Lamb: Of course put the financial house in order, and put in place long-term financial plans.
Work with the chiefs of county safety forces to explore cost-saving through regional possibilities. Working with the townships, villages and cities, we will develop a smart plan for the future growth and development in the county.
Recognize the importance of both commercial and light industrial development to help keep taxes lower while maintaining the healthy balance we now enjoy with agriculture and rural assets of the county.

Samsung Galaxy 551
A touch screen mobile with a sliding QWERTY keyboard is what a college boy dreams of and Samsung Galaxy 551 lives up to it. Things gets better when the phone runs on the Android OS. The whole combination is exactly what we get in Samsung's Galaxy 551. Though this is not the first phone with such a combination in the market, it is Samsung's first. Samsung has taken a leaf out of its Corby Pro model to come up with the Galaxy 551. Sony was the first to come up with an affordable QWERTY messenger with its Xperia Mini Pro. Though there are high end QWERTY messengers like Motorola Milestone and HTC Desire Z, Samsung's Galaxy 551 promises to be the phone for the entry range buyers. The Galaxy 551, among the series of Galaxy mobile phones gives tough competition to Sony Xperia Mini Pro, Nokia C6 because of the physical qwerty and also proves too good for the HTC Wildfire. The Galaxy 551 is also one of the very few Samsung phones to come with Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box. There have been many positive reviews about the phone and we are going to see a review that covers the positives along with the negatives. It is the Samsung Galaxy 3 + QWERTY keypad and it is way ahead of the Galaxy 5.
Samsung Galaxy 551
Design and Build
This smartphone comes in black, though a few white ones are seen. On the first look, most of the people are likely to mistake the handset for a bar phone since its sliding QWERTY keypad is well hidden. The front of Galaxy 551 is like a regular capacitive touchscreen. There are three buttons on the front, one for the menu, the home button and the other for back. The buttons are quite solid and very easy to work with. The left side of Galaxy 551 has only one button for screen lock. The bottom has the mouthpiece. The right side of Galaxy 551 has a volume rocker and the sliding QWERTY is beneath it. The top of Galaxy 551 has a covered mini USB port which is used both for data transfer and charging. The phone does charge itself when connected to a computer. There is also a 3.5mm jack on the top for all the music needs. The back of Galaxy 551 has a speaker which never fails to impress you.
The QWERTY keyboard is surely one of the best in the class. Typing on the keypad feels so awesome. The four row QWERTY has well-spaced out buttons and these keys are slightly bulged to ensure comfort for the fingers. Each of the keys light up when the slider is opened and this is really useful when typing at night. The QWERTY has four arrow keys for navigation and Samsung seems to have avoided the D-pad navigation like in Nokia C6.
The only hard feeling about the design is that it does not feel solid. The phone is fully made of plastic and that accounts for its light weight (117g). The back of Galaxy 551 seems to be too toy like and attracts all sorts of scratches. The slide is definitely not the smoothest either.
Samsung Galaxy 551
Features and Specifications
The Galaxy 551 is powered by a 667 MHz processor which is not superfast, but sufficient for all the tasks that is asked of this phone. 284MB RAM is what Galaxy 551 is given and it does just enough to keep the phone going. With 160MB internal memory, the phone supports up to 32GB with micro SD card. The 3.2"inch display is a very rare type because it sports a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. This is definitely one of the major drawbacks of the phone. The display fails to impress and the sharpness that Samsung is known for; in its displays; seems to be missing here. The 1200mAh battery is yet again a disappointment as it hardly seems to last a day.
Android OS
One thing about Galaxy 551 that makes it a front runner is that it runs Android 2.2 Froyo. Though Android 2.3 Gingerbread is the latest, most of the devices run on Froyo for the time being. The Android OS is overlaid by the Samsung TouchWiz 3.0 launcher. The integration of the TouchWiz 3.0 launcher with Froyo is seamless. The phone book is quite good and has the ability to sync with Facebook, thereby displaying their Facebook display picture. There are lots of useful apps that are preloaded, but one misses the app for editing and creating documents out of the box. The default browser of Galaxy 551 is quite good for browsing the internet, but takes a big time to load for the first time. With the Android market, one can easily get any app for either browsing, editing documents or anything.
Music is simply superb with the DNSe feature in the Galaxy 551. The default Android music player is fully loaded and never fails to impress each time you hear music. The default headphones are quite good and being in-ear type, they are sure to cancel out any noise from the outside world. The RDS enabled radio is quite useful when you forget your memory card. The gallery is one awesome thing in this phone. The 3D gallery is just too good and it gives the pictures a whole new feel. The pictures are automatically arranged and scrolling through them is just fun. The multi-touch feature makes it even better allowing you to pinch for zoom. The default video player of the Galaxy 551 is quite good too. When the videos are put in at proper resolution (240 x 400), video watching in this phone just gets better.
Here comes the best part of the Galaxy 551. The 3.2 megapixel camera that comes packed with Auto-Focus makes this phone stand out. Photos come out so superbly with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and there are just lots of options to choose from. There are various modes to shoot from and there are also lots of editing options. The autofocus feature makes sure we get what we want in a picture. The macro feature is sure to be enjoyed and is capable of creating many aspiring photographers. Unfortunately, there is no dedicated button for camera. This is really a big disappointment. All the focusing work has to be done using the touch screen, but it sure is fun. Video recording is not great, but it does what it is asked of. It records videos with resolution of 640 x 360 pixels at 15fps.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS are never seen to be eliminated these days and all these features find their place in the Galaxy 551. The Wi-Fi feature is quite good and what is even better is its Portable Wi-Fi hotspot feature. This creates a wifi network with phone as the modem and others can use this network. The Bluetooth is the regular one and 3G is quite useful these days. The lack of secondary video camera in the Galaxy 551 indicates that 3G is for only data purposes. The phone guarantees great speeds with HSDPA. GPS along with A-GPS (assisted GPS) makes navigation so simple and fun.
Box Contents
- Phone with Battery
- Charger
- USB Data Cable
- Earphones
- 2GB micro SD card
- Manual and Guarantee card
Why you should get Samsung Galaxy 551?
- Android 2.2 Froyo OS

- Excellent 3.2 MP Camera with Auto-Focus
- Affordable ( price Rs10,500 )
- Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS (with A-GPS)

Why you should avoid getting Samsung Galaxy 551?
- Poor build quality and Scratch prone
- Slider feels clunky
- Poor display
- No dedicated camera key
- Very less RAM and internal memory
Samsung Galaxy 551 – Final Scores
If you are looking for an Android QWERTY mobile phone around Rs10000, then without any doubt it is Samsung Galaxy 551.
If you are looking for any touch screen mobile and QWERTY is not so important, then LG Optimus One should be your choice over the Samsung Galaxy 551.

The ship
You are out of your tiny little mind Darshan.
Darshan Solo snorted as he walked. The ships around him stood like pencils laid upon their sides. At the other end of the field he saw one lifting toward space on the system drive. A pity that was not good enough to reach the stars. He followed the flight of the ship, and as it started to disappear from sight there was a flash of purple. Another ship had been cannoned to the stars. That ship would reach it in a few hours and join those that traveled between the stars.
Do you even understand the risks? His friend Koori asked plaintively. No one has ever returned from such a flight.
Maybe they havent done it right before.
And you will?
Koori, you designed the engines, all I am is the pilot. Why are you the one worried.
Koori tore at his hair. It was a lifelong habit as anyone looking at the mop he had would have recognized. Maybe I built it wrong!
Like the kite? Darshan demanded. The kite had been a laughing stock. Large enough that a boy could sit in it, and strong enough to hold his weight. Everyone had laughed until five year old Darshan had climbed on, and after a brief run against the windy field with Koori and four other boys on the string, had lifted gently from the ground. If the string hadnt broken he would still be up there.
Darshan had never looked at the world the same again.
Well that worked-
And the boat.
When they were twelve, Koori had built a boat of paper. The sail had not been a sheet but a series of strips controlled by a simple line. Everyone had laughed, but Darshan had sailed across the Great lake in it, faster than the schooners that ferried people across. A pity it had gotten soaked and fallen apart on the way home.
Well that worked, sort of. But-
What about the bridge? Darshan demanded.
Everyone had laughed when the young university student had built the bridge across the strait to Bendar Island on contract. It had been too flimsy every one said. Oh it had held the traffic but what would happen when the Great Wind came in the winter? The first storm had come, the worst in over ten centuries, and the next day it was still there. Now five years later others of the same kind had proven themselves even against the waves of the Crimson sea.
That was simple-
So you think now your engine will not work.
No the Professor thinks it will not work.
Why? Has he inspected the plans?
He doesnt understand them! Koori shouted. He says no scientist he has shown them to understands them.
But you do. Darshan said.
Well, yes... Sort of.
What do you mean sort of.
No one really understands the original engine. It came from a ship that crashed thousands of years ago, and cant work as it sits. He tore his hair again. Whoever made it didnt use any fuel source known to us, and there werent even fittings for a fuel system.
So why is yours better?
It just feels right. The parts I machined should make it work. The fuel injection had to be designed right from the tubing. But I think it will work. Just nobody else does.
As I said. If its every scientist on the planet saying its going to be clear weather, and you saying theres a storm, I dont leave my slicker at home.
But what if I am wrong this time? Koori asked plaintively. What if you go out there, and never come back?
Wont happen.
Koori, if that happened Id have to come back just to tell you. Darshan started up the series of steps into the university science building.
Youre not making me feel better!
I dont have time for my mother to make some Keflaka cookies and mail them, Koori.
That wont, well actually it would make me feel a little better, but it doesnt make me feel any safer.
Why not? Darshan opened the door, shoving Koori inside. Its not like youre going to volunteer.
You know that isnt what I meant. Koori started gasping as Darshan strode across the room to the lift. The advantage of having Darshan as a friend was you got a lot of exercising just trying to keep up with him. I would miss you-
You didnt miss me with the Seeker Dart. Darshan retorted pushing the button. The lift rose smoothly.
Dont give me that, You volunteered!
Yes I did. Darshan agreed. He watched the indicator, then looked down at his friend with a roguish smile. And I slept for a week.
Hey, I didnt design the sleep compound. Koori grinned. Besides, I got some rest for the first time since we met.
The doors opened, and they hurried down the hall to the room where volunteers were gathering to test the hyper drive.
The door opened on a silent room. Old man Shoorilik was reading a book at the desk.
Darshan hurried over. Instead of being first, hed decided to come in about half way. What, everyones all ready been here, Professor?
Shoorilik looked up, put the book mark in, and set the book down. Yes. Quite a while ago, actually. As soon as they found out your friend had made the modifications, no one wanted to even try the flight.
So... Why are you still here then?
The old man harrumphed. Darshan, as soon as we knew your friend made the design, we knew youd be willing to jump off the cliff with it. He looked at his chrono, and made a note. Someone just won a lot of money in the professors pool.
We picked times for your arrival. Shoorilik commented. If you had only waited three more minutes...
Darshan ran out of the room. Koori stood there confused. Three minutes later Darshan came back in.
Professor, I would like to volunteer for the hyper drive test flight.
Very good, Darshan. Shoorilik stood. Since there are no other volunteers, it seems you get the chance.
And I think you owe me a drink.
That I do, Darshan.
'To argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason is as futile as to administer medicine to the dead.' Now who said that?
From the one who brought you;
What we die for...

The Revision Variant Plus Hockey Wheels are a great improvement on their already awesome Variant wheels. Revision did this by using a better type of urethane on the outside part of the wheel to increase speed without losing durability. Like the original Variants, these Variant Plus wheels have the Torus Technology to provide maximum speed and grip using a layered urethane system. They even made the old Torus Technology better by using an enhanced and redesigned shape to give the best possible flex control for cuts/stops. The inner Torus ring was made using a higher rebound material than the original to give you even more agility than before.

Comments: These wheels have brought me back to revision. The last model turned me off because they did not last as long as the competition. This year's model has excellent grip and great wear.
From: Kevin, Attleboro, Massachusetts
Comments: These wheels are great!! At 180 lbs (probably closer to 200 with gear on) Ive been using the red wheels (74a) and after about 20 hours of moderately aggressive skating they aren't showing any real signs of wear yet or cracking. Ive definitely noticed the extra grip in the corners compared to the hornets I had been using previously. Will definitely consider another set of these if they continue to perform and last like they have been so far
From: Justen, Surrey, BC Canada
Comments: These wheels were sick for the first week. but one cracked already and they have no grip. im only 140 pounds and 5'8
From: Danny, San Jose, Ca
Comments: I have been a huge fan of the Steel's as for a guy my size (6'210) they are the best all around wheel for grip, durability and speed. I just tried the blue Variant Plus and they are awesome. Not as fast, but more grip. Either wheel is 10X more durable than the Addiction and are the best wheels on the market
From: Bryan, San Jose, CA
Comments: The Revision Variant Plus 74A Red wheels are solid wheels that offer great grip. I would recommend these wheels for anybody that is under 175 lbs, anybody heavier might feel that they are slow. I really like the way the wheels rebound. I cannot comment on durability as I have only skated with them twice, but I am happy with the performance!
From: Jim, Chicago, IL

If you have an idea for a product and are considering having it patented, there are a number of reasons for you to consider doing so. Patenting your invention gives you a certain degree of protection and it also helps to increase the possibility for profitability with your product.
When considering if you should patent your invention, one of the first things that should be looked into are what could occur if you do not patent the invention. In a worst-case scenario, it may be possible that a competitor would take advantage of the unpatented invention or somebody else may patent it. You will also be limiting your ability to sell or transfer technology or to license the technology at some point in the future (Source: http://www.wipo.int/sme/en/ip_business/importance/risks.htm).
It is also a good idea for you to review the options that are available to you when you have an idea for a product. This can let you know if the product is worth the time that is necessary to file a provisional patent application (Source). Here are a few things for you to consider.
Do You Own the Invention? - There may be circumstances which would limit to your ownership of a unique invention. As an example, if you came up with the idea during the time that you were employed and you did so on business hours, your employer may own the invention. You may also have limited rights to the invention if it is directly related to your employer's business.
Determine the Marketability - Not all unique ideas are going to be marketable. It is important for you to do some market research before you take the time to patent the product. Look at the customers that may be available and ask for an honest evaluation.
Can It Be Classified? - In order for an invention to be patentable, it needs to fall within four different categories. Those categories include articles of manufacturer, machines, compositions of matter and processes/methods. More than likely, you will not have a difficulty fitting it into one of these categories if you have a functional product available.
Is a New Invention? - In order for your invention to qualify for a patent, it needs to be different from other inventions that exist. This is something that needs to be researched carefully before a patent is filed.
Is the Patent Useful? - Ideas may be artistic and they could amuse, but that does not necessarily mean that they would be considered for a patent. Your product should produce a result in order for it to be worthy of a patent.
Must Not Be Obvious - It may not be possible for you to patent something that is considered to be obvious. You need to take a look at those who are working in the field surrounding your idea or product in order to determine if they would consider it to be non-obvious. This is a requirement of filing a patent and one that should be considered, before you fill out the paperwork.

My Office!
28 comments:
Wow, you have an amazing space to create in. Especially like the use of the buckets. I have one bucket (a Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow who I'm a big fan of) with my fav punches in it.ReplyDelete
"Sunshine HoneyBee"
Love that you shared your space with us! So cool! Red is one of my favorite colors! I also label my stacks like you do, but some of them are getting pretty thin and getting hard to read! LOL You seem very organized and I always enjoy seeing all your creations!ReplyDelete
You are so fortunate to have a job you love that enables you to be with your kids. Your office is so neat and tidy. My stacks of DCWV are over taking my office. Labelling the spine is a cool idea.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh brilliant idea to label the spines! I now love YOU forever!ReplyDelete
Great space Erin! I am going to label all my stacks when I get home tonight, that is the best idea I've every seen!ReplyDelete
P.S. You have a lovely home.
Great work space! I love the labeling on the spines! Such a great tip. Thanks for sharing your space. :)ReplyDelete
WOW! All those stacks makes me drool!ReplyDelete
Where did you get the racks/bins for the ribbons and what do you have the punches hanging from - that is such a great idea. Love it.ReplyDelete
Great work space! TFSReplyDelete
My favorite was the 3rd shelf teaser... NEW stuff?! ;) I love my label maker too - the weekend I bought it I used 2 cartridges labeling all of my stacks on the spines, all of my cuttlebug embossing folders and made dividers for my cricut cart booklets/overlays. I can't wait to have "room" breakfast nook would do nicely. Currently my space is -3' x 5' next to my bed and getting stacked higher each month it seems ;)ReplyDelete
Your space is awesome. Atleast you have a space. Most people have to scrap on the dining room table. Mine is off the kitchen also. It used to be the car port. It is a big space but sometimes can be overwhelming.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
I love it and love how it works for you, very cool! Thanks for sharing~ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see the new stuff!! So exciting hehe. Love your space too. Sophisticated, chic, love it a lot. I recently moved into my own place with my sister and boy friend, and we had a spare room, so in the room, I have my own space, it's so much better than when I was trying to scrap in my old bedroom on my desk hehe.ReplyDelete
Great space! My studio is right off the kitchen too and I love that I can cook and scrap at the same time! LOLReplyDelete
Beautiful office, looks so organized and functional! I love my label maker too, couldn't live without it!! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I love the color on the walls, so pretty. You have a great office and very pretty home. I love the idea of writing the names of the stacks on the spine. Might be doing that this week. Glad you are feeling better and can't wait to see the new stuff!ReplyDelete
fun crafting space...thanks for sharingReplyDelete
very nice, and you've got great storageReplyDelete
Well...::sigh::...I'm happy for you...just jealous as all get out though...right now I am crammend into a corner of a bedroom...but I'm happy to see you have a beautiful home...one day...one day....ReplyDelete
I love how colour co-ordinated it is I will plan next year to at least paint all my shelving the same colour at the moment it is a mixture of lilac and wood. BUT although it is taking me a long time I know once it is finished I will be able to access it all and not have to climb over boxes and will still be able to put up guests for the night if necessary. I did have it all in one 8 x 6 room but now have a bigger space and a whole cupboard in which to keep papers out of the sunlight. No more faded edges, though it is amazing what can be covered up with a stamp pad...ReplyDelete
What is the label maker that you use. I think I need one. or maybe I could print from my computer.ReplyDelete
Dude...totally jealous. Thanks for sharing :DReplyDelete
Wow, love your space, it looks great! I love having everything is reach too, if I don't see it, I don't use it, LOL! Labeling the spines is a great idea, will get to that! TFSReplyDelete
My scrap space area is also off the dining area so I have to keep it all under control. I am happy to see that you work on minimal space and it we can make it happen as well. Your office is inspiring!ReplyDelete
What a great space! Thanks for sharing it with us. You have a LOT of stackes....but I do love the way you label them! Great idea! And food poisoning suckes...glad you are OK!ReplyDelete
You have a great office, and I'm so stealing the thing where you write the name of the stack on the spine. - It's really nice to see an office that looks like it is tidy and not everything is hid too far from reach. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
such an inspirational home office you have - practical and beautiful! I especially love the way you have the punchers and ribbons hanging on the wall. I can't wait for the July challenge, I'm on holiday so I should finally have enough time to take part into it too!ReplyDelete
Erin, thank you for sharing your great office! I love the way you organized everything! Oh, and writing the name of each stack on the spine is such a terrific idea, too!ReplyDelete

Review: Swing on This
Making its debut at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, this new show combines the musical talents of four of Australia's best and brightest leading men alongside an 18-piece big band to deliver an homage to Swing music that is a delight from start to finish.
If you have Mad Men fuelled fantasies, this show is tailor-made for you. The boys, Michael Falzon, Matt Lee, Luke Kennedy and Ben Mingay are resplendent in 60s tailored suits; there's a bar set up on stage where they mix cocktails and gently heckle each other from the sidelines and a soundtrack of Sinatra and Porter, Berlin and Brecht that keeps the banter flowing.
All four of these performers are accomplished singers in their own right. Falzon has been a musical theatre darling since his breakthrough role in We Will Rock You. Lee is probably best-known for his work as a dancer and as a judge on Dancing with the Stars but recently proved himself in Mary Poppins (so much so, he earned a Helpmann for his role of Bert). TV audiences no doubt recall the youngster of the group, Luke Kennedy who was runner-up in the popular reality show, The Voice. While Mingay originated the role of Billy in Dirty Dancing and has appeared in musicals such as An Officer and a Gentleman and Jersey Boys (though is perhaps best known these days for his role in the hit dramedy Wonderland).
What all four have in common is a love for Swing music and this show allows them to let that love loose on an audience. It's not just well-swung standards however, the foursome have turned their hand to some unique musical arrangements that see them giving swing interpretations of rock classics like 'Jump' and 'Wonderwall'.
Mingay and Falzon do most of the heavy lifting – easily managing the soaring notes and deep baritone that many of the songs require. Not that Lee and Kennedy are slouches – just their tone is more suited to the lighter arrangements. That said, Lee pulls off a flawless version of the Dylan classic 'Mr Bojangles' complete with a tap solo and Kennedy holds his own in swinging battle of 'Hit the Road Jack'.
All four performers share a fabulous chemistry and happily assume their stage personas. They may be wearing matching suits but it doesn't stop them from letting their personalities shine: Bingay is the charming rude boy, Falzon the funny musical star, Lee is the dancer and Kennedy the newbie who cheerfully accepts the ribbing from his more experienced co-stars.
A surprise appearance by outgoing festival director Kate Ceberano adds to the fun. Ceberano pulls out the sex goddess and cavorts with 'her boys'. And the boys in turn shamelessly play it to the hilt, injecting some fun into the second act.
Where this show really delivers in spades however is when all four singers come together. There is something so powerful about this quartet of voices blended in harmony that it instantly lifts the audience up and away from any cares.
They leave the standards and some might say, the best songs til last, to deliver a trio of Sinatra classics that has the audience cheering as they launch from 'That's Life' to 'New York, New York' to the penultimate number 'My Way' which almost raises the roof.
A fabulous night at the theatre. Very well swung indeed.

Thanks to the Secret Room MTV-awards Red Carpet Lounge invitation only event staged on the outdoor patio of the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, we learned the mystery behind the popular Japanese brand Rilakkuma's three loveable characters and how they ended up living in Tokyo.
The swag suite proved quite an eye-opener with new and old brands on display and given away to members of the media and of course celebrities. One of the presenters was Rilakkuma, a company that launched products in Japan that are now being brought to the United States by Aliquantum International (AQI) such as the beloved characters- Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori. The story goes that the three unlikely companions live with a hard working Tokyo woman named Kaoru. Every day they take on a new adventure and find ways to keep themselves occupied while Kaoru is at work.
"The mysterious brand has been a staple in the Japanese market for over a decade," said David Ringer, CEO/president of AQI. "Rilakkuma is about an attitude and a lifestyle that allows people to create their own adventure with the characters. The fact that so much is left up each individual's interpretation is what makes the brand so open-ended."
Rilakkuma encourages imagination and creativity. There is no right or wrong answer to how one sees Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma or Kiiroitori. The excitement and craze around the brand stems from having the control to make each Rilakkuma character unique.
You can find the adorable creatures of Rilakkuma at FAO Schwarz for sale from $8.99 to $199.99

The other day I was checking on a book that was still on my card but I had returned. They looked for it and then another librarian came over and was very rude to me. She got in my face and said in a loud voice "you better look for it", it was very embarrassing for me. Thought you should know.
Hi Michelle,I'm sorry to
Hi Michelle,
I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience! We strive to create a welcoming, positive environment for all of our patrons, and I'm sorry if we fell below the bar at your last visit. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. My email is email@example.com.
Thanks so much,
Alan Schlosser-Couch
Associate Director, Public Services.
Big and nice!
This library seems overwhelming at times. It's very big and needs to be filled up more. The people are generally helpful and friendly, a couple of librarians were grumpy and short with some patrons, Terri and Karen were their names, but overall lots of resources, if they can get organized.
Hi there. Library 21c is
Hi there. Library 21c is very busy and many items have checked out. That is a good thing. Many items will then be returned to Library 21c soon. We are monitoring the use of the collection so that we can determine if we have too much of one category or too few. This takes a little time as we settle into what may be our more "normal" use of the library. If you are having trouble finding the books you are looking for or the subject area you would like to browse, please talk with a staff member. That will help us to assess the collection and they can also help you locate items in the district.
I brought donations to the new Briargate library. Unfortunately, I was not welcomed meaning I was passed off three times before someone took me to where I was supposed to leave them. I was told by the first person that "they may not take them." & that they only had a "limited space". Isn't this supposed to be a bigger, new improved library? It certainly did not make me want to donate again. In fact, I felt like I was bothering the person I first came across. I found it rude too since I was with my toddler straining with a sack of my returns as well as carrying my donation which she was beyond asking if I needed help carrying. I'm sorry I was donating my books from Pottery Barn, which were for a section, home decor, that is under serviced at this location.
As I said, I actually had three bags of books to donate but because of the weight, could only manage one bag. I guess I am better off giving the books to GOODWILL.
As a tax payer, I should feel a lot more welcomed than I actually was in a government funded facility. Shame on you.
As a home owner tax payer and
As a home owner tax payer and grandmother of this district that has also been treeted by some staff but mostly security as though I was not of the proper breed / class
to even be in there let alone asking them for help! Thank you for your comment and bringing up the subject. I plan on writing a formal letter to the powers that be about the upity attitudes of some of the employees and definitely security.
Hi there. I do hope that you
Hi there. I do hope that you write the letter and tell us what Library you were visiting when you were treated rudely. We want everyone to feel welcome at the Library and if we fail, we want to correct that right away. The details of your encounter will help us to be sure we are hitting the high standards we set for ourselves. Thanks.
One of the first times I went to the new library to check out, the person working the desk was very rude. I asked her to help me. I had two children and my hands full. She was making me do the self checkout. Which was very very hard with them. However, when I went back another time, with only one child, the person that was at the desk was very helpful. So it just depends on the people. Not all are rude. Matter fact most of them have been very nice.
Excellent service to patrons
Excellent service to patrons is our main goal at the Library and we hate to hear that we fell short. I'm glad that your subsequent experience was positive. Thank you for letting us know about your experience and we will work towards improving.
A Loper's donation
Unless PPLD has changed policy donated books do not go into the collection or on the shelves. They are donated to the friends of the library to use at their book sales.
Also since it is a floating collection between all branches what book genres may be short at one branch can be ordered from another location to your local branch.
I'm sure with a new branch there will be growing pains and not the smooth service you usually receive from PPLD for a few weeks.
Book Donations
I am so sorry that you had such an experience when you were trying to donate materials. We strive to give great service at all times. Please give us another chance. Our systems at the new building are new and still under development, but that is no excuse. I know our Friends of the Library appreciate donations a lot as they stock the store which was almost bought out the first few days.
On a personal note I was shopping in the Friends' store at Library 21c and looking at the home décor books! I would have scarfed them up had yours been there.

(I'll edit this to include everyone else once I know they're going with the dwarf.)
After hearing the dwarf say to meet him at the North Gate at sunset, he figured that he could use the gold, and that tracking down the zealots who burned his home to the ground could wait. It had waited for fifteen years already, and waiting a little longer wouldn't make much of a difference. After finishing his ale, he paid the bartender and left for the inn. At the inn, he told the innkeeper that he would need neither a room for the night or a stable for his horse after all. After that, he went back to the tavern to see who else would be joining the dwarf.
After ordering a mug of mead, Curudir looked around at everyone else in the tavern. He could not tell by looking at them whether or not they were going to also aid in escorting the dwarf, but he assumed that those who were equipped for such a journey (ie: carrying weapons and armour with them) were likely among those who would partake in such. However, that could very well be nearly anyone in the tavern, as the roads so dangerous to travel these days. So, he kept an eye on the time as he sipped his drink and waited to head for the north gate.
(figured I should just redo the whole thing)
"That is not a panel. That's a crusher. We sell them too."
"Bam! Robots gave us six extra seconds of cooperation. Good job, robots."
"This is the same technology we've been using on robots for decades. Scares the hell out of them."

Hurtling through the interstellar void: fragile organic packages totally dependent upon complex systems they must sustain through intricate procedures; joined at the hip with a tiny group of fellow-travelers. Sounds like being in an avant-garde theater company. Or, for that matter, like the entire millennial generation. Whatever the metaphor, Bottle 99, the latest original work by The Quasimondo Physical Theatre is a modern-dance space ballet that takes us to spaces we would never expect; both outer, inner, and artistic.
The piece opens with the thematic image of a poor little monkey being neglected and teased by heartless scientists who are preparing it to be launched in a primitive capsule. Then, as in Kubrick's 2001, we're instantly transported to the cold white interior of an interplanetary craft far in the future: one of many colony ships—evocatively called "bottles" —en route to a habitable world. We see two intense young technicians birthing the rest of the crew out of blue-lit honeycomb cells, jump-starting their inert bodies with forceful movements reminiscent of a lioness training her cubs. Clad in skimpy outfits that accentuate their physiques, the crew obsessively undergoes brutal exercise—space is murder on muscle mass. Against a backdrop of gorgeous, if glitchy, video projections, we see them engage in ritualized operations to keep their ship functioning: there's a geneticist, a nutritionist, a psychologist, a mechanic, a navigator and a "quality control" specialist to keep everybody in line—this is no interstellar cruise. Language seems irrelevant; they communicate by gestures and glances.
Literal-minded sci-fi fans should be advised that this is a poetic drama; more Solaris than Star Trek. We might not know exactly what's going on at any given moment, but part of the fun is to try to decipher these dream-images, like Rorschach blots, to make up our own story. And if you really must know precisely why they spit into each others' hands in the course of what appears to be an orgy, or why they force the navigator to wear a large silver robot headpiece, why the engineer is convulsing under the ministrations of the ship's onboard cyborg, and why all the bottles—you can ask them after the show! Narrative ambiguity aside, we do get very clear feelings and ideas from the sumptuous, sexy imagery and the kaleidoscopic variety of imaginative ways for human bodies to move together, all to a kick-ass techno score assembled by Wylie Heftie.
Directors Jenni Reinke and Brian Rott's method, working with three other choreographers, is to improvise from seed premises to develop scenes, filtered through the performers' collective minds and bodies, which they craft into a densely allusive, image-rich series of striking and powerful movements, reminiscent of the paintings of old masters in that they communicate volumes through groupings of figures, facial expressions and gestures. Each performer has precise, personal meanings for everything they do, so what could so easily come off as hokey or forced feels genuine and courageous. It's very much like observing another culture.
When the crew learns that their mission will last their entire lives, and that their children, will step out onto the soil of another world, but not them, it precipitates a crisis. They have to make up their own culture, develop their own social norms. It's a long lonely trip, and the young travelers naturally turn to each other for comfort. This seems to be about as chancy in interstellar space as it is on Earth: brusque courtships play out like the mating rituals of animals, as their bodily needs assert themselves. We see virtues played out, as well as human failings; one memorable scene show the ship's black-clad cyborg, suddenly realizing his humanity, being cruelly forced back into his mechanical mask, crucial to the ship's survival. In a final tour-de-force, we see images of the crew projected on each others' bodies: in the most intimate way possible, they have become part of one another, and the ancestors of a future civilization.
On the way to Utopia, it's the journey that matters, not the destination. The journey of Bottle 99 indeed mirrors the company's paths as they create their own idiosyncratic, hermetic culture of bodies doing the cosmic origami, folding space to make their own meaning in the chilly interstices of 21st century America. It's our pleasure—and our privilege—to peer through the portholes and watch their fascinating evolution.

Why are people so angry behind the wheel? Police report a 72year old man assaulted by biker on A50
'Road Rage' incident in Stoke
Officers from Stoke-on-Trent Local Policing Team (LPT) are appealing for witnesses after a 'road rage' incident in Stoke.

A 23-year-old man led the Oregon State Police and members of the St. Helens Police Department on a chase just before 8:45 p.m., on March 28; the chase ended in a crash and foot pursuit before officers took the man into custody.
The situation began with multiple reports of a possible drunk driver traveling northbound on Highway 30 from Scappoose. A senior trooper from the Oregon State Police overtook the Ford Focus on Old Portland Road and initiated a traffic stop, but as the trooper talked with the male driver, the young man took off toward St. Helens.
Members of the St. Helens police department deployed spike strips near 14th Street on Old Portland Road and successfully deflated three of the four tires. Still, the driver continued driving on city streets. St. Helens Police took the lead at that time, with assistance from the Oregon State Police.
The driver crashed the vehicle on North 9th Street and Columbia Blvd., where the driver, identified as Steven Michael Thompson, 23, took off on foot. He made it a brief distance before St. Helens police officer Brent Thompson tackled him in the backyard of a residence. Thompson resisted but officers restrained him. He was taken into custody at 8:57 p.m.
Thompson has been lodged in the Columbia County Jail on multiple charges including driving under the influence of intoxicants (two counts), felony attempt to elude in a vehicle, misdemeanor attempt to elude on foot, reckless driving, resisting arrest, Criminal Trespass 2 and Criminal Trespass 3. According o the Columbia County Jail Inmate Population list, Thompson's bail is set at $5,500.
