ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) Agent
Average Salary: $77,120
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $2,061,000
ATF agents earn a base annual wage of $35,000 to $45,000 a year (source). However, the amount of money they actually take home depends on a number of factors. There are certain "grades," or levels, that applicants are hired into based on their experience.
For example, those hired as Grade 5 Step 1 agents are paid at the lower end of that scale, while those hired as Grade 9 Step 1 agents start out at a bit more. Then, as they prove themselves and move up the ladder, they become eligible for various promotions, raises, and perks. Remember how good it felt to go all the way from grade five to grade nine in school? It's kinda like that. Except not at all.
As with most jobs, agents can make more if they live in an area of the country that has a high cost of living. In addition, special agents who perform duties after two hours of any overtime may receive Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP). Those working on special assignments, undercover, or on big operations generally also qualify for LEAP.
ATF agents generally work office hours from 8:30AM to 5:00PM. Because they often work overtime during undercover operations, they earn an additional twenty-five percent for each hour on the job. Think you should make more? Better not try helping yourself to money found in raids.
One such ATF agent, Steven Campbell, made that mistake when he stole money out of a house during a drug raid. He was ratted out by another agent who saw him slip the money into his pants, and now he's doing hard time—over a year in a federal prison. Not sly, that one.

Shoppers Can Easily Find Sales Tax Rates
(AUSTIN) — A new Web tool shows the correct sales tax rate for most any business address in Texas — making the increasingly complex system of taxing jurisdictions more transparent to shoppers and business owners.
"Two businesses located across the street from one another may charge different tax rates, leaving customers to wonder why," Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said. "By entering the business addresses in the Sales Tax Rate Locator, customers may discover that the neighboring businesses are located in different taxing jurisdictions, and they both collect the correct tax."
In addition to the state sales tax, more than 1,400 cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts impose sales tax on goods and services, creating an ever-changing patchwork of overlapping taxing jurisdictions whose boundaries are unfamiliar to the average shopper.
Businesses with multiple locations can use the Sales Tax Rate Locator to learn the correct tax rate at each location.
The Sales Tax Rate Locator provides only the sales tax rate in effect at a given location. Sales tax laws determine how the tax rate applies to each sale.
The Sales Tax Rate Locator is at http://ecpa.cpa.state.tx.us/atj/addresslookup.jspPlease refer to Guidelines for Collecting Local Sales and Use Tax at http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx94_105.pdf for more information regarding your tax responsibility under local sales and use tax laws.

Southeast Polk students and staff plan to gather tonight to talk through their thoughts and feelings regarding 16-year-old A.J. Betts, who tried to kill himself Friday night.
As of noon today, Betts, of Pleasant Hill, was on life support to repair damaged organs for donation. His mother Sheryl Moore said candidates have been selected to receive his liver and kidneys and doctors plan to take Betts off life support today.
A 7:30 p.m. gathering near the vocal music room in SEP High School will include guidance counselors, mental health therapists and district administrators. Someone from the employee/family assistance may also be available, High School Principal Steve Pettit said.
Part of the meeting will focus on why suicide should never be the answer for any challenging situation in life, according to district officials. Staff said they want students to always inform an adult when a student is suffering.
Moore said she believes bullying contributed to her son's decision to take his own life.

Attackers can leverage security vulnerabilities in computerized control systems to cause real, physical harm. Despite efforts to fix control system security flaws, the advantage remains with attackers due to the increasing complexity and connectivity of modern control systems. A complementary approach to closing security holes is to directly mediate the physical behavior of control systems, thus preventing dangerous actions even when systems are under adversary influence. Behavioral mediation is a promising direction for control system security, but it presents many challenges to becoming a practical reality.

PhotoPlus Expo 2012: Nikon Unveils New AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR Lens
By Dan Havlik
Nikon unveiled the new AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR lens this morning. The lens, which Nikon says is the company's first with up to five stops of image stabilization, goes on sale in November for $1,399.95.
The new AF-S 70-200mm f/4G is the first NIKKOR lens to feature the third generation of Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) technology.
Nikon is hoping the lens will appeal to photographers who may have purchased the new Nikon D600, a lower priced full-frame digital SLR aimed at photo enthusiasts.
"It's perfect for that user," Steve Heiner, Nikon's Senior Technical Manager, said during a pre-release press briefing with PDN. "It's at almost half the price of the F/2.8 version (of the same focal length lens) but has similar weatherproofing and the build quality is on same level."
More info in the press release after the jump.
NIKON CONTINUES POPULAR SERIES OF F/4 LENSES WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NEW FX-FORMAT AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS
The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR Telephoto Zoom Lens is Nikon's First Lens with up to Five Stops of Image Stabilization; Offers Outstanding Performance and Superior Image Quality
MELVILLE, N.Y. (October 24, 2012) – Today, Nikon Inc. announced the newest addition to its legendary NIKKOR line of lenses, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR telephoto zoom lens that provides a popular and versatile focal length and a constant f/4 aperture for full frame FX-format photographers. The 70-200mm f/4 is the first NIKKOR lens to feature the third generation of Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) technology to meet the still image and video demands of advanced photographers and videographers.
"With the new AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4, Nikon offers enthusiasts an essential telephoto zoom lens capable of amazing clarity and control, at a price point that's easily attainable," said Bo Kajiwara, Vice President of Marketing, Planning and Customer Experience, Nikon Inc., "With the introduction of Nikon's third generation of VR technology, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4 lens offers superior performance and stunning image quality whether shooting beautiful stills or HD video in challenging lighting conditions."
Legendary Image Quality and Performance
Additionally, Nikon's newest lens is the first to feature VR image stabilization technology that is able to vastly reduce camera shake and blur by offering the equivalent shutter speed of approximately five stops slower than otherwise possible. Now users are able to shoot confidently in lower light or while handheld to deliver razor sharp images and smooth HD video.
When used alongside the Nikon D4, D800 series and D600 D-SLR cameras, 70-200mm f/4 lens users can take advantage of Nikon professional grade teleconverters to increase the focal length without sacrificing AF and VR abilities. By utilizing the camera's cross-type focus points at f/8 and below, users can effectively double the focal length of this f/4 lens to 400mm and still retain the AF ability to capture clear subjects at an even greater distance.
Constructed from 20 optical elements in 14 groups, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4 maintains several core Nikon technologies including the exclusive Nano Crystal Coat to significantly reduce instances of ghosting and flaring. In addition, Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides quiet and responsive autofocus (AF) operation. The lens also features two versatile focus modes, M/A (autofocus with manual override) and M (manual focus) to adapt to a users shooting preferences. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4 achieves the top class feel, superior operability and solid handling that only NIKKOR glass can offer.

Teaching students with ADHD becomes easier once certain systems are in place. Here are ideas to help create the system that works best for the teacher, student with ADHD and the rest of the class.
Planning your Day
1. Avoid Activities that Require the Class to Sit for Long Periods of Time
Many children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder have difficulty remaining seated for long periods of time. Other children do too.
- Consider using activity centers. The assortment of activities provides multiple productive options for children with ADHD to direct their attention and efforts. It also gives students the opportunity to change places in the room instead of staying still at their desks.
- Incorporate a variety of learning styles. Activities involving movement, drawing, making models can increase the interest level for some children and help them to stay tuned in to the activity for a longer period of time.
2. Academics in the Morning
Schedule the majority of the academic sit down work to the morning. Teaching students with ADHD in the afternoon, can be challenging. Take advantage of the morning when they are fresh and have a better chance at focusing and getting their work done.
Help Students Anticipate
1. Schedule on the board
Students with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder will transition more easily when they can anticipate what is next. Write the daily schedule or class schedule on the board to help them transition and remind them of what is needed from them.
2. Pep talks
Teachers are the masters of anticipation. They are always thinking about what might go wrong in a lesson in order to make changes and avoid as many issues as possible. Use this talent to help children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. Give these students short pep talks to help them avoid situations that could lead to problems. Tell them what you think the issue could be and give them suggestions to help steer clear.
Behavior Aids
1. Get to Know Students
Taking time to get to know the students, their family lives, their
talents/hobbies and their likes/dislikes is the beginning of relationship building. It is important for all students to know the teacher cares about them and likes them. Because part of teaching students with ADHD involves correction and consequences, creating a positive relationship with students with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder helps them to understand that you are trying to help.
2. Behavior Contract
A mutually agreed on behavior contract can be helpful. Start by choosing only one behavior to work on at a time. This provides a better opportunity for success and thus motivation to continue to work on other characteristics later. A colorful note taped to students' desks serves to remind students with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder of their objective. Catching them succeeding and reinforcing that behavior verbally is an important motivator.
3. Pre-Planned Alternatives
ADD and ADHD manifest themselves differently in each individual. Take time to observe the actions that most affect the class. Think about more appropriate alternatives and communicate these to the student. For example, if the child squirms in his seat, offer to have him stand by the counter to finish his work or lay down on a cushion in the back of the room.
Involve the Parents
1. Find out what "works" at home
When teaching students with ADHD, close communication with the family can be helpful. Find out from them what they use at home or what has worked well in other classroom situations.
2. Homework chart/notebook
Teaching students with ADHD accurately record the homework information is crucial. Parents can help if they don't know what the assignment is. Create a homework chart or develop a homework notebook system. Students are responsible for writing down the information. Teachers can sign off at the end of class or the school day. Parents can sign off when the assignment is complete. This way everybody is clear.

Did Led Zeppelin Just Reveal Their New Box Sets' Cover Art?
In typically mysterious fashion, Led Zeppelin seems to have revealed the trippy new cover art for their three planned 2014 box sets.
In typically mysterious fashion, Led Zeppelin seems to have revealed the trippy new cover art for their three planned 2014 box sets.
After teasing us this morning with the cover art, Led Zeppelin have announced the complete details of the remastered and expanded versions of their first three albums.
A series of tape boxes belonging to engineer Ron Nevison will be going up for auction in March. As a tease, the auction house has uploaded a brief taste (embedded above) of rough mixes of two songs from Led Zeppelin's 'Physical Graffiti,' 'Kashmir' and 'Custard Pie.'
Alter Bridge and Slash singer Myles Kennedy has revealed more details about his 2008 songwriting and rehearsal sessions with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page -- and he's quick to point out that despite the title of this article, any collaboration between them wouldn't have been called Led Zeppelin.
The surprising collaboration between Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers scheduled for the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2 just got a lot more intriguing.
Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin each won an award at the Grammys' annual Pre-Telecast Ceremony this evening. Which is something that probably should have happened in 1974, but whatever we'll take it.
The Led Zeppelin remasters that Jimmy Page has been working on will start seeing the light of day in 2014 -- but it'll take a little longer than we initially believed for all of them to arrive in stores.
It looks like Led Zeppelin fans will have more than just a series of new reissues to look forward to in 2014.
Led Zeppelin's decision last week to finally allow their music to be streamed on Spotify may be a financial boom to the two parties involved, but it is likely to negatively affect the bottom line of those who were covering the band's catalog on the popular online service.
After years of delay, Led Zeppelin have finally made their music available for streaming. The band's catalog will be rolled out exclusively to subscribers of the Spotify service over the next few days.
If you're anything like the staff here at Ultimate Classic Rock, you've heard Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' so many times that you feel like you know it forward and backward. But only one man truly understands the song in reverse, and his name is Jeroen Offerman.
This is bound to offend some of the purists out there, but it's still newsworthy. Jimmy Page has released a mash-up of Led Zeppelin's 'Ramble On' and the Notorious B.I.G.'s 1996 smash hit 'Hypnotize.'

Thomas Chippendale
Thomas Chippendale (probably[citation needed] born at Otley, West Riding of Yorkshire, baptised at Otley 16 June [O.S. 5 June] 1718 – November 1779)[1] was a London cabinet-maker and furniture designer in the mid-Georgian, English Rocco, and Neoclassical styles. In 1754 he published a book of his designs, titled The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director. The designs are regarded as reflecting the current London fashion for furniture for that period[2] and were used by other cabinet makers outside London.
Chippendale was the only child of John Chippendale (1690–1768), joiner, and his first wife Mary (née Drake) (1693–1729). He received an elementary education at Prince Henry's Grammar School. The Chippendale family had long been in the wood working trades and so he probably received his basic training from his father, though it is believed that he was also trained by Richard Wood in York, before he moved to London.[3] Wood later ordered eight copies of the Director. On 19 May 1748 he married Catherine Redshaw at St George's Chapel, Mayfair and they had five boys and four girls.
In 1749 Chippendale rented a modest house in Conduit Court, near Covent Garden. In 1752 he moved to Somerset Court, off the Strand. In 1754 Chippendale moved to 60–62 St. Martin's Lane in London, where for the next 60 years the family business operated until 1813 when his son, Thomas Chippendale (Junior), was evicted for bankruptcy. In 1754 he also went into partnership with James Rannie, a wealthy Scottish merchant, who put money into the business at the same time as Chippendale brought out the first edition of the Director. Rannie and his bookkeeper, Thomas Haig, probably looked after the finances of the business. His wife, Catherine, died in 1772. After James Rannie died in 1766, Thomas Haig seems to have borrowed £2,000 from Rannie's widow, which he used to become Chippendale's partner. One of Rannie's executors, Henry Ferguson, became a third partner and so the business became Chippendale, Haig and Co. Thomas Chippendale (Junior) took over the business in 1776 allowing his father to retire. He moved to what was then called Lob's Fields (now known as Derry Street) in Kensington. Chippendale married Elizabeth Davis at Fulham Parish Church on 5 August 1777. He fathered three more children. In 1779 Chippendale moved to Hoxton where he died of tuberculosis and was buried at St Martin-in-the-Fields on 16 November 1779.
There is a statue and memorial plaque dedicated to Chippendale outside The Old Grammar School Gallery in Manor Square, in his home town of Otley, near Leeds, Yorkshire. There is a full-size sculpted figure of Thomas Chippendale on the façade of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
After working as a journeyman cabinet maker in London, in 1754, he became the first cabinet-maker to publish a book of his designs, titled The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director. Three editions were published, the first in 1754, followed by a virtual reprint in 1755, and finally a revised and enlarged edition in 1762, by which time Chippendale's illustrated designs began to show signs of Neoclassicism.

Chippendale was much more than just a cabinet maker, he was an interior designer who advised on other aspects of decor such as soft furnishings and even the colour a room should be painted. At the peak of its success the firm could act like a modern interior designer working with other specialists and undertake the supply of fully decorated and furnished rooms or whole houses, once the principal construction was done. Chippendale often took on large-scale commissions from aristocratic clients. Twenty-six of these commissions have been identified.[4] Here furniture by Chippendale can still be identified, The locations include:
- Blair Castle, Perthshire, for the Duke of Atholl (1758);
- Wilton House, for Henry, 10th Earl of Pembroke (c 1759–1773);
- Nostell Priory, Yorkshire, for Sir Roland Winn, Bt (1766–85);
- Mersham Le Hatch, Kent, for Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bt (1767–79);
- David Garrick both in town and at his villa at Hampton, Middlesex;
- Normanton Hall, Rutland and other houses for Sir Gilbert Heathcote Bt (1768–78) that included the management of a funeral for Lady Bridget Heathcote, 1772;
- Harewood House, Yorkshire, for Edwin Lascelles (1767–78);
- Newby Hall, Yorkshire, for William Weddell (c 1772–76);
- Temple Newsam, Yorkshire, for Lord Irwin (1774);
- Paxton House, Berwickshire, Scotland, for Ninian Home (1774–91);
- Burton Constable Hall, Yorkshire for William Constable (1768–79);
- Petworth House, Sussex and other houses for George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1777–79).
- Dumfries House, Ayrshire, Scotland, for the 5th Earl of Dumfries.
Chippendale collaborated in furnishing interiors designed by Robert Adam and at Brocket Hall, Hertfordshire, and Melbourne House, London, for Lord Melbourne, with Sir William Chambers (c. 1772–75).
Chippendale's Director was used by many other cabinet makers. Consequently, recognisably "Chippendale" furniture was produced in Dublin, Philadelphia, Lisbon, Copenhagen and Hamburg. Catherine the Great and Louis XVI both possessed copies of the Director in its French edition.[5] The Director shows four main styles: English with deep carving, elaborate French rococo in the style of Louis XV furniture, Chinese style with latticework and lacquer, and Gothic with pointed arches, quatrefoils and fret-worked legs. His favourite wood was mahogany; in seat furniture he always used solid wood rather than veneers.
Thomas Chippendale Jnr[edit]
The workshop was continued by his son, Thomas Chippendale, the younger (1749–1822), who worked in the later Neoclassical and Regency styles, "the rather slick delicacy of Adam's final phase", as Christopher Gilbert assessed it.[6] A bankruptcy and sale of remaining stock in the St. Martin's Lane premises in 1804 did not conclude the firm's latest phase, as the younger Chippendale supplied furniture to Sir Richard Colt Hoare at Stourhead until 1820 (Edwards and Jourdain 1955: 88).
Chippendale's designs became very popular again during the middle to late 19th century, leading to widespread adoption of his name in revivals of his style. Many of these later designs that attach his name bear little relationship to his original concepts.

FDA Launches Painkiller Abuse Strategy
Risk-Cutting Plan Covers Extended-Release Opioids; Advisory Panel Had Recommended Including Short-Acting Opioids
By Daniel J. DeNoon
Latest Medications News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
April 19, 2011 -- Ignoring its expert advisory panel's strong "no" vote, the FDA today launched an education program to cut abuse of long-lasting opioid pain drugs.
The action calls for companies that make long-lasting or extended-release opioid pain drugs to develop a shared plan to educate patients and doctors about how to reduce the risk that the potentially addictive drugs will be abused.
The panel last July voted 24-10 to reject the plan and recommended stronger action that would include short-acting opioids.
"The agency concluded that there is a disproportionate safety problem associated with the extended-release and long-acting opioids which must be addressed, and will incorporate a step-wise approach to focus first on educating prescribers of extended-release and long-acting opioids," the FDA notes in a news release.
The FDA's "risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS, goes a bit beyond the usual package insert. REMS plans typically include a medication guide and a plan to communicate risk information to both patients and doctors.
In the case of long-acting opioids, the REMS plan is expected to help patients keep their prescription pain drugs out of the hands of potential abusers and to help doctors properly prescribe the drugs.
But for doctors, any education required by the plan will be voluntary.
Doctors will not be required to undergo special training to prescribe opioid pain drugs. However, the FDA is asking Congress to pass legislation that would link mandatory doctor training to getting a Drug Enforcement Administration number that doctors now need to prescribe controlled substances.
The advisory panel strongly supported such legislation.
Drugs covered by the new plan include many well-known brands:
The action covers these generic drugs:
The FDA action is part of a collaborative effort between the departments of Justice, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and Defense. The effort seeks to cut prescription drug abuse and to keep prescription drugs from being diverted from patients to recreational users.
It's a big problem. For example, the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that only 7% of OxyContin users got the drug from a doctor and 13% bought it from a drug dealer or other stranger. Nearly two-thirds got the drug from a friend or relative.

DubLindy is here to put a swing in your step! If you want to learn how to swing dance in Ireland, then this is the place for you.
Join us on Monday nights at The Grand Social for Happy Feet Swing Dance Club! Dance classes followed by social dancing to the finest hot n swing jazz, boogie n blues!
Social Dancing From 9 pm
Drop in beginners class at 8 pm
Drop in improvers class at 7 pm
Swing (also known as Lindy Hop) is a fun, easy to learn partner dance. Creativity and humour fuse with off-beat rhythms to create its unique style. It's danced to big band, jazz and rat pack music– guaranteed to put a swing in your step! Want to know more? Then look at What is Swing?
Our friends at Boogie Beat Swing run Route 66 every Wednesday in The Turks Head. There's a beginners class at 8pm followed by two hours of great dancing!
Downtown blues every Thursday night in Arthurs pub, run by our friends of the same name, have a beginners class at 8:30 pm followed by social dancing from 9 pm.
Like Swing dance, Blues dance originated and evolved from African rhythms and movements. However, Blues dancing was never widely practiced as a "social" or performance dance in the United States outside of the Black communities; so it developed and thrived in smoky juke joints and at Blues house parties and rent parties, giving it a more intimate feel.

Our Luxury Chalets in Morzine
Mountain Spaces is a small independent family business owned and run by Kate and Chris Lawler, located in the stunning town of Morzine, part of the Portes du Soleil ski area in the Northern French Alps.
We offer luxury Morzine accommodation with catered and self catered chalets in a central location only minutes from the ski lifts and the bars and restaurants.
We launched in the winter of 2008 running our first chalet, working on our menu and looking after our guests. We've grown since then and now offer three luxury catered chalets and NEW for this winter a luxury self catered chalet.
We might be a bigger company but some of our happiest memories are still from our time spent looking after our very first guests.
We and the Mountain Spaces team look forward to welcoming you to Morzine this winter.
Our guests
Mountain Spaces is perfect for all types of winter holiday makers attracting a wide variety of guests from groups of friends and young professionals, large family groups to single travellers looking for a sociable and friendly place to stay with like minded people.
Over fifty percent of our clients are either returning guests or guests who have booked our Morzine chalets solely on a word of mouth recommendation from friends or family which we hope, means we are sticking to the principles we had when we launched the company.
Since 2008 we have grown slowly, expanding only when it's the right time to do so making sure that we stay true to our reasons for starting the company in the first place. As well as building on our past successes we're also always looking to offer our returning guests something new to look forward to.
Our service and what we can offer
If you are not already a returning guests we'll probably get to know you pretty well before you even arrive, arranging ski lessons, ski hire, helping with dietary requirements, room layouts and travel arrangements.
Once you're here our fantastic chalet hosts are on hand to look after you but we are always around to say hello and make sure everyone is happy, well fed, looked after and having a great time.
We honestly believe you can't get a more personalised service than we offer from booking your holiday to breakfast on your last day.
The wonderful Mountain Spaces team
Running Mountain Spaces is still a lifestyle as much as a business for us and getting on with a friendly, happy group of people who happen to work for us is as important as employing people with the right experience. Happy staff means happy guests, while a talented but grumpy and unsociable chef does not, a chalet host make.
Our staff will always have had customer-facing experience in cafes, bars or restaurants, they will often but not always have had professional culinary experience and they will always, always be happy smiley, interesting people.
Anyone who has been on a catered skiing holiday will know that the need for a great location, an awesome chalet and top notch cuisine goes without saying but it is the chalet hosts who really make a holiday. A fact that is not lost on us.
Morzine and the Ski Area
Morzine is a vibrant small town that includes the resort of Avoriaz 1800. Morzine is packed with small independent tour operators like Mountain Spaces and the lack of the big travel companies gives Morzine a laid back easy going rhythm with many loyal guests returning year after year for, quite literally decades.
The town has a large enough selection of bars and restaurants to keep returning guests, seasonaires and those of us lucky enough to live here all year entertained but still keeps that small town feel where you can get to know your way round and get to know the bar staff and locals.
The Portes du Soleil ski area is one of the largest in the world with over 650km of linked, pisted runs. There's something for everyone, from kids fun parks to the 'Coupe de Monde' black run on a stunning exposed ridge over Avoriaz.

Beijing Temples Travel
Baiyun Guan
If the incense here smells authentic, it's because this sprawling complex, said to have been built in 739, is the most active of Beijing's Daoist temples. Chinese visitors seem intent on actual worship rather than on tourism, and the blue-frocked monks wear their hair in the rarely seen traditional manner—long and tied in a bun at the top of the head. One notable structure is the Laolu Tang, a large hall in the third courtyard built in 1228, now used for teaching and ceremonies.
Dongyue Miao
This Daoist temple, built in 1322 and beautifully restored a few years ago, is most famous for a series of 76 stalls that surround its main courtyard. Garishly painted divine judges in each stall can offer relief from practically every ill — for a price. The most popular stall, not surprisingly, is the Department of Bestowing Material Happiness. English signs explain each department's function.
Fayuan Si (Source of Dharma Temple)
Despite guides droning on about a long and glorious history, most of Beijing's sights are relatively new, dating from within the last 600 years. This temple, constructed in 645 in what was then the southeast corner of town, retains both an air of antiquity and the feel of a genuine Buddhist monastery.
Guo Zi Jian and Kong Miao
This classic temple-school compound, buried down a tree-shaded street east of the Lama Temple, is still in use. The Kong Miao, China's second-largest Confucian Temple, is on the right, and the Guo Zi Jian is on the left, both originally built in 1306. The front courtyard of the temple contains several dozen stelae inscribed with the names of the last successful candidates in the jinshi (highest level) imperial examinations. The college, imperial China's highest educational institution, contains a striking glazed-tile gate with elaborately carved stone arches.
Ox Street Mosque (Niu Jie Qingzhensi)
This is Beijing's largest mosque and the spiritual center for the city's estimated 200,000 Muslims. Built in 996, the complex looks more Eastern than Middle Eastern, with sloping tile roofs similar to those found on Buddhist temples. Halls are noticeably free of idols, however.
Yonghe Gong (Lama Temple)
If you visit only one temple after the Temple of Heaven, this should be it. A complex of progressively larger buildings topped with ornate yellow-tiled roofs, Yonghe Gong was built in 1694 and originally belonged to the Qing prince who would become the Yongzheng emperor. As was the custom, the complex was converted to a temple after Yongzheng's move to the Forbidden City in 1744. The temple is home to several beautiful incense burners, including a particularly ornate one in the second courtyard that dates from 1746. The Falun Dian, second to last of the major buildings, contains a 6m-tall bronze statue of Tsongkapa.

To a Mouse
by Robert Burns
To a Mouse Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
[…] thy poor, earth-born companion,
An' fellow-mortal! (11-12)
The speaker claims that he has a lot in common with the mouse, after all—they're both poor, they're both inhabitants of the earth, and they're both mortal.
Quote #5
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro' thy cell. (29-30)
The speaker personifies his plough when he calls it cruel. Again, the speaker emphasizes that the plough, a farming tool used to tame the wilderness and cultivate fields, is used to threaten or to hurt the mouse—and, by extension, all of nature.

Markham Vineyards Merlot 2013 - 750ml
91 Points from Wine Spectator & Double Gold Medal Winner 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!
According to Wine Spectator's Tim Fish, "This is what Merlot is all about in California." While we pride ourselves on creating Merlot with a sensual, decidedly feminine side, our 2013 is more than built to age. Rich in boysenberry fruit and resplendent with briary tones throughout, this vintage will please those looking for something in which to sink their teeth. 750ml.
| Club Price 20.00Retail Price: 25.00
Markham Vineyards Chardonnay 2014 - 750ml
Silver Medal Winner 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!
Showy aromas of roasted hazelnuts and caramel-covered apples create a decadent first impression. The sur-lie barrel aging adds oodles of texture but also allows each swirl of the glass to open up new aromas like nutmeg, vanilla and pineapple. We enjoy our Chardonnay by the glass with a chunk of hard cheese and a slice or two of artisanal bread. 750ml.
| Club Price 14.40Retail Price: 18.00
Markham Vineyards 1879 Cellar Blend 2013 - 750ml
Silver Medal Winner 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!
Big, dark and full of sass! The sassafras, bourbon & toasted marshmallow aromas make the jammy black fruit explode on the nose. Juicy boysenberry fruit layered over dark chocolate flavors give a distinctive sexy texture. The powerful grip on the finish reminds to you take this wine seriously. 750ml.
| Club Price 20.00Retail Price: 25.00
Markham Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2015 - 750ml
Ruby grapefruit and pineapple fruit races through the soul of our 2015 Sauvignon Blanc. The classic honeydew melon is layered with tangerine zest aromas. A decidedly juicy texture brings all the pineapple, grapefruit and honeydew notes on the palate together with the brightness of kiwi fruit flavors. A glass would be a wonderful way to start the evening on the patio unwinding from the day. 750ml.
| Club Price 12.80Retail Price: 16.00
Markham Vineyards Muscato 2015
The floral perfume of orange blossom, jasmine and fresh peaches let you know undeniably Muscat is in your glass. Tropical lychee and sweet peach syrup flavors give a decided richness to our 2015 Muscato. The citrus balanced acidity allows just enough zip when properly chilled. A wonderful accompaniment to spicy shrimp pad Thai or red curry over coconut rice. 750 ml.
| Club Price 16.00Retail Price: 20.00
Markham Vineyards Muscat Blanc 2014 - 375ml
The perfect end to the perfect meal.
Liquid gold in color with decadent aromas of peach syrup, almond blossoms and a tangerine twist perfume charm you from the start. Honeyed peach flavors are lush, but balanced with sweet orange juiciness. This Estate gem will continue to shine and improve in the cellar for years to come. Serve with a Mt. Tam triple cream cheese, fig jam & crusty bread for a simple dessert unless you're lucky enough to find poached pears with seared foie gras on the menu. 375ml.
| Club Price 19.20Retail Price: 24.00
Markham Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 - 750ml
Vanilla cola and dark chocolate perfume the blackberry fruit. A graceful balance of richness combined with mesmerizing aromas creates the urge to drink our 2012 early. However, the chewy mid-palate tannins and oaky finish would benefit from a few years in the cellar. Find a fireplace to snuggle up for the night or grill a rib-eye topped with a slathering of gorgonzola butter if you feel like going crazy! 750ml.
| Club Price 32.00Retail Price: 40.00
Markham Vineyards Syrah 2013 - 750ml
Our new Syrah is best described in one word: WOW! Exuberant boysenberry fruit is ripe and jammy with sexy layers of caramel, vanilla soda and toasty barrel aromas. The flavors are juicy as you would expect with the lush, velvety texture for which Syrah is known. Of course, the tannins start to hold on and grip throughout the finish with a bit of bright acidity. Perhaps some finger-licking pork riblets with a spicy molasses glaze will pair with this monster? 750ml.
| Club Price 30.40Retail Price: 38.00
Markham Vineyards Petite Sirah 2011 - 750ml
Fresh boysenberries are intoxicatingly floral and jammy in a single juicy bite, which is exactly how this 'little' wine comes across. Layers of chocolate, coffee, cinnamon & vanilla cola are thanks to the new oak barrels. While young, our Petite Sirah will show big, chalky tannins rounded out with more boysenberry fruit before finishing with spicy white pepper notes. A bit of bottle age will keep this wine from biting you back. 750ml.
| Club Price 33.60Retail Price: 42.00
Markham Vineyards Petite Sirah 2012 - 750ml
Current Release
Violet and orange zest aromas are beautifully fragrant and complement the floral boysenberry fruit. The old vines show their power with tarry density that layer licorice, black pepper and root beer with toasty oak. The 2012 vintage is deceptively lush and pretty, but has chewiness that will suspend the time-age continuum. A nice, big glass next to the fireplace after a long day of skiing will cure all that ails, especially if paired with slow-braised short ribs over a bed of buttery mashed potatoes. 750ml.

Markham Vineyards Zinfandel 2013 - 750ml
This is everything that Zinfandel should be! It is in your face with cherry vanilla lifesaver character paired with a cup of coffee as you peruse the cigars in the humidor. Jammy fruit aromas are pretty but spiced up with tobacco and black pepper. Ripe cherry fruit is creamy, but has brightness that makes this an excellent food wine with tannins that grip through to the end. Try with hoisin glazed ribs and a spicy mango slaw or pepperoni pizza should work well too. 750ml.

Very useful tool for presentations, and adding narrations to videos
I'm sure that most people think of using this to give presentations, and it works very well for that purpose.
However, if you create tutorial videos, or add narration to videos, you can have this application running side by side with your computer screen in order to keep pace with the video as you add your narration.
I love it!
Works For Me!
Some of you reviewers expect things the developers do not promise. Look at what they say it WILL do and rate that! Then if you want a feature added request it. These guys seem to be responsive to that; it's clear to me that they have put a lot thought and work into this program.
Very limited, buggy and slow.
I couldn't import anything from Dropbox and Google Docs import of a 1KB document takes 2 minutes!
The text is either too slow or too fast and you cannot fine-tune the speed.
It breaks the text and adds something unnecessary in the beginning of every text. So after every import you have to edit text again by hand.
It works! But in what way?

And for all of my new followers who have no idea what I'm talking about, I have a "Every 100 Followers" giveaway open exclusively to my Facebook, email, Twitter and GFC peeps. Oh, and welcome to all of you to the crazy that is this blog. Thanks for sticking around!
Fiesta Friday - Hard Working Mommy Blogger Awards
I'm honored to receive this lovely award from Latte Mama; we all need a little recognition for everything we do, and it's hard to remember that you are not just a mommy. See how I worked that in there? So here is the fine print...
Hard Working Mommy Blogger Awards:
1. If you are awarded the "Hard-working Mommy Blogger Award" you need to pass on the love to 7 other Hard Working Mommy Bloggers.
2. Accept the award (by leaving a comment on the original award post)
3. Post about the award on your blog (include the image of the award) together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and her blog link.
4. List 7 other Mommy Bloggers that you want to pass the award along to (no backsies). Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
And although I have so many I can only choose 7. And the honors go to....
We Go Wednesday - Great American Bake Sale
But does the thought of a bake sale overwhelm you? Think you need to be Betty Crocker, or at least Sandra Lee? To get you inspired, check out this amazing bake sale spread from Bird And Berry; please note the use of inexpensive crepe paper as a tablecloth, cowgirl cookie mix jars, and the simplicity of her treats. It's not about 'the what', but 'the package'....if it looks awesome, people will buy it. Let me tell you, if I drove by this table, I would have bought one of everything, and from the sound of her post, that's what everyone did.
Tuesday Tip - Giveaway Bonanza!
It's Giveaway Scout to the rescue. They are a free giveaway search engine where users subscribe to receive updates on the latest giveaways on the web, promotions with products ranging from coupons and samples to high value jewelry and electronics! I'm always shameless promoting myself so I'm going to give them a try.
So, on to my own version of Giveaway Scout....
Don't forget my own giveaway for an $80 gift card to over +200 CSN Stores is on and rocking, and ends Friday night 11:59 p.m. PT! And did you notice I'm creeping up on 300 GFC followers? So you know that means 'Every 100 Followers Giveaway' is coming up soon...here's a hint...ABC.
AFOMFT is having a giveaway for one of the cutest ideas I've seen on the kiddie circuit...milestone stickers from Stickie Bellies for taking monthly birthday pictures!
Need some awesome party supplies? Bird Crafts is hosting a giveaway for party supplies from Hey Yo Yo! Red striped paper straws are one of the prizes, so you know I'm there!
Need some personalized gear for the kids this fall? The Bragging Mommy is hosting a giveaway for any item up to $40 from Frecklebox.
Even more yummy, a Ben & Jerry's Summer Survival prize pack that includes 10 free pint coupons over at Slice Of Heaven.
Tuesday Tip - Paperless Post
What I love about them is they're a step above other online invite companies, because users design and send cards digitally without sacrificing the traditions of classic, custom stationery. The cards have the look and texture of what you would find in a high-end stationery store, but the ease, eco-consciousness, and cost effectiveness of digital communication. They even come with coordinated envelopes!
Don't get me wrong, I love sending and receiving invites through the mail, I feel that it's a dying breed. And BTW, please don't send me emails about the environment, saving it for our kids' future, etc. Go hit up the magazine companies with 13,000 flyers that fall out every time you turn a page.
With postage and paper costs on the rise, it's a lovely option for those who choose the online route. And I do sometimes, thank you very much! I can't wait to give them a whirl; sign up and get your first 25 stamps for free!
Drink Of The Week - Frozen Blueberry Lemonade
1 1/2 cups blueberries
1 cup lemonade
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus more for serving
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1. In a blender, puree the blueberries, lemonade, mint, confectioners' sugar, and 3 cups ice until smooth.
2. Garnish with mint sprigs.
Make it a cocktail; add 1/2 cup vodka to the blender before pureeing.

These ice cream cupcakes from Martha won't melt and are just as fun as the real thing.
The perfect party favor, a cotton-candy ice-cream cone, complete with instructions from La*T*Da.
OK, so the following aren't technically ice-cream but hey, it's my blog and I can do what I want. Plus, they were too awesome not to share.

Real Cupcake Sneak Peek - Buggin' Out
A wonderful friend of mine has graciously agreed to sell a few tasty treats in her used-bookstore. I know, coffee, books and cupcakes, it's a match made in heaven. Here is what I made up for last week, jumbo cherry chip cupcakes with fancy frosting....
My plan is to alternate different treats each week; jumbos, regular sized ones, some type of brownie concoction and something else...don't know what yet.
Up for this week, thanks to the Gospels According To Hello, Cupcake! and What's New, Cupcake? I'm combining two of their bug cupcake ideas, and here is a sneak peek...
The bug template is from Hello, Cupcake!, some fire ants, a few beetles and a centipede or two will become fun cupcake toppers. They are just a combo of different sized M&Ms and chocolate candy melts.
I can't find candy covered sunflower seeds locally to make some of the other cooler critters like the scorpion, but that's ok. My party OCD will kick in and I will figure out an alternative. I'm going for a 'Bugs At A Picnic' feel. Part 2 will come from What's New, Cupcake?

Boom! Boom! Pow! from Send In The Clowns.
A color combo I haven't seen in a long time, but works fabulously in this pink and blue wedding from Amorology.

The Grand Junction fire department evacuated Walker Field Airport after a suspicious item is found in someone's luggage. The incident started about 4:30 PM Sunday. According to a spokesperson for the fire department, officials with the Transportation Security Administration called the fire department after screening a suspicious piece of luggage in passenger check–in.
TSA workers were unable to determine exactly what the device was through normal screening techniques. The airport was evacuated and the Grand Junction fire department was called in to contain and mitigate the situation. The bomb squad and a HAZMAT team also responded.
More than 20 people were evacuated from the terminal and were denied access to the airport for an hour. After investigating the suspicious item, authorities found it was not an explosive device. It's described as a liquid filled balloon. The passenger it belonged to was not allowed to fly out of Grand Junction.
TSA officials have sent the item to a laboratory for further testing. Once the item was cleared the airport returned to normal operations.

A Makeover for 'fmadm faulty'
By user9148476 on Nov 15, 2007
So what's the big deal? Why do I care? Short answer is fewer commands to see what's going on. Before this change,
# fmadm faulty STATE RESOURCE / UUID -------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- degraded mem:///unum=MB/CMP0/BR0:CH0/D0/J1001 cd72a0c9-2c5d-e458-d866-f0d8d80ad0bb -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kinda cryptic. No mention of the FRU, the http://sun.com/msg/ message code...just the affected FMRI. To get this info, I'd need to run another 'fmdump -v -u <uuid>' command. Such as:
# fmdump -v -u cd72a0c9-2c5d-e458-d866-f0d8d80ad0bb TIME UUID SUNW-MSG-ID Sep 26 14:07:33.7174 cd72a0c9-2c5d-e458-d866-f0d8d80ad0bb SUN4V-8000-E2 95% fault.memory.bank Problem in: mem:///unum=MB/CMP0/BR0:CH0/D0/J1001 Affects: mem:///unum=MB/CMP0/BR0:CH0/D0/J1001 FRU: hc://:serial=22ab471:part//motherboard=0/chip=0/branch=0/dra m-channel=0/dimm=0 Location: MB/CMP0/BR0: CH0/D0/J1001Better...although I still don't know the immediate impact to my system. That information is printed to the console and /var/adm/messages. So a bit of poking around to get all of the information.
With the new output
# fmadm faulty
--------------- ------------------------------------ -------------- ---------
--------------- ------------------------------------ -------------- ---------
Nov 14 20:47:15 91ae3cb5-0d3b-ce3e-ee1a-bf764a0c8e99 SUN4V-8000-E2 Critical
Fault class : fault.memory.bank 95%
Affects : mem:///unum=MB/CMP0/BR0:CH0/D0/J1001
degraded but still in service
FRU : hc://:product-id=SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220:chassis-id=0721BBB013
=0/dimm=0 95%
Description : The number of errors associated with this memory module has
exceeded acceptable levels. Refer to
http://sun.com/msg/SUN4V-8000-E2 for more information.
Response : Pages of memory associated with this memory module are being
removed from service as errors are reported.
Impact : Total system memory capacity will be reduced as pages are
Action : Schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected memory
module. Use fmdump -v -u
Much nicer. Have the severity and message code immediately available. And the details on impact to the system are right here....don't need to go to the console or message logs.
One thing I've noticed that's been omitted from the new output is the Location field. It's still available with fmdump, and I always found that most useful. You tell me, but if you're in the field and want to identify the exact FRU, the NAC name is a lot more readable than the fully qualified hc scheme....particularly for IO.

Yes, it feels so good without the expanders. I'm sore under my arms some and where the surgeon had taken out the port but nothing major. I took 1/4th of a pain pill last night because the soreness but that's been it for me. Like some of them said on this site, this is a piece of cake compared to other things we go through.
Do you have a port?

Barcelona Tourist Office Reviews
Page Content
This article outlines the locations for a local Barcelona tourist office in the city and gives you a little information on how each office can help you. The article also gives you contact telephone numbers and opening hours for each tourist information office.
There are 5 main Barcelona Tourist board offices in the city. There are also some other minor offices e.g. in Barcelona Sants station but the main ones are covered below.
Main Barcelona tourist office in (or rather under) Plaça Catalunya Square
|Barcelona tourist office at Catalunya square central Barcelona
Metro: Catalunya (Green Line, L3) and (Red Line, L1)
Address: Plaça de Catalunya, 17
08002 Barcelona, España.
Open: Monday - Sunday: 08:30 - 20:30
Closed: 1 January and 25 December
Tel: +34 93 285 3834
Services. This office is the main tourist board office in Barcelona and can help you with many essentials e.g. finding accommodation, booking the Barcelona Bus Turistic (open air bus tour), city maps, bus and transport information and other general tourist information questions.
This Barcelona tourist info office also has a gift shop with an extensive range of quality souvenirs for your visit to Barcelona.
Tourists often have difficulties finding the Catalunya tourist office - even though it's the biggest tourist office in Barcelona and it's on the busiest square in Barcelona. Why? Because it's underground! The way to find it is first to find the El Cortes Inglés (the large shopping complex) the tourist office is close but actually under the Catalunya Square near the fountain. Look for the large pillars with an " I " at the top. These pillars are just outside the tourist office. There are two entrances to the Barcelona tourist office - each pillar marks an entrance.
Barcelona City Hall Tourist Office (ground floor) Ciutat, 2
Address: Plaça de Sant Jaume,
Ciutat, 2 (Ajuntament de Barcelona),
08002 Barcelona, España.
Metro: Jaume (Yellow Line, L4)
Open: Monday - Friday: 08:30 - 20:30
Saturday: 09:00 - 19:00
Sunday and public holidays: 09:00 - 14:00
Closed: 01 January and 25 December
Offers similar services to the main tourist board office above however is smaller and is more limited with the opening hours.
Columbus Monument Tourist Office
Address: Plaça del Portal de la Pau, s/n
08002 Barcelona, España. (near the Columbus monument)
Metro: Drassanes (Green Line, L3)
Open: Monday - Sunday: 08:30 - 20:30
Closed: 01 January and 25 December
Not as comprehensive a service as the other 2 main Barcelona tourist information offices given above. Mainly supplying leaflets, port information and information on cultural attractions. Barcelona Bus Turistic and Barcelona card enquiries can also be made here however they do not provide an accommodation booking service unlike the other two offices above.
Barcelona Tourist Office - Cultural events in Barcelona (Oficina d' informacio cultural)
|Barcelona cultural tourist office on the Ramblas.
Address: Las Ramblas, 99
08002 Barcelona, España.
Metro: Liceu (Green Line, L3)
Tel: +34 93 316 1000
Open: Tuesday - Sunday: 12:00 noon - 20:00
This Barcelona tourist board office is somewhat different from the others. It does not offer any advice on accommodation, tourist attractions or tours. Its sole purpose is to provide you with comprehensive information on Barcelona Cultural activities. If you attempt to ask them questions on anything other than cultural activities and events they will direct you to the Catalunya tourist office which is the nearest main tourist board office from them.

Merchant is a smooth skating prospect that has good hands and plays hard in all three zones. Is not a prospect that plays the glitter game, as you will not see him make end-to-end rushes every time he touches the puck. Instead, Merchant plays a consistent, 200-foot-game. He plays well in tight spaces and will not shy away from the rough stuff. Merchant has displayed a willingness to work hard in order to be considered one of the state's top players.
He is a prospect that should be looked at for his team play, defensive contributions, and tremendous work ethic. Merchant is considered one of the top eligible Minnesota prospects for the 2012 NHL Draft.

Dental implants have revolutionized how we treat lost teeth! Implants are titanium roots that can be used to replace missing teeth. They offer a natural feeling and looking alternative to a bridge and can be used for denture stabilization. The best thing is that dental implants last longer than anything else I use as a dentist. Implants are simply man made titanium root replacements that are placed in the bone and allowed to heal. Once this implant is healed into place, a tooth can be built on top of it or it can be used as a very strong anchor to support a denture. The technology to accomplish this has been around for over 60 years, but the last 20 years have seen a rapid improvement of the materials and techniques necessary to make it an everyday, common procedure.
How long do dental implants last?
The simple answer: A long time! That is their great advantage. When you look at all the research available you find approximately a 95% success rate over 30-45 years. The 5 % of people who have one not work (it usually happens in the first year) still have a 95% chance of success on the second try. After that initial period of healing and acceptance by they body, dental implants are the closest thing we have to a permanent solution to a lost tooth. Failure of the materials is very rare.
Does it hurt?
With the techniques we use it is common for our patients to report some, but very little discomfort. Most patients say that the placement of dental impants hurts less then having a tooth extracted and they have to take very little pain medication. Nevertheless, each person and each situation is different . We have a very well researched and balanced pain management protocol to make sure that your healing is as comfortable as it can be.
Is Dr. Scherer the right dentist in Sonora to provide this service for you?
All implant procedures require two basic phases, a surgical phase and a restoration phase. Many dentists do not provide implant surgery in their offices. When Dr. Scherer wanted to expand his involvement in implant dentistry to include the placement of implants he chose to go to the oldest and one of the most respected implant institutes in America: The Misch International Implant institute. It was a 5 month program with personal training by the most recognized face in American implant surgery and author of the best selling dental implant text in America – Dr. Carl Misch. Implants are a routine procedure in our office, and for the most part it is a quite simple procedure. Nevertheless, there are some situations that should be managed by a specialist. When this is necessary we have some wonderful specialists here in Sonora, CA and in the surrounding area with whom we work closely.
Cone Beam 3D X-Rays
We were the first general dental office to bring this amazing technology to Sonora. This new, very advanced technology allows for precise three dimensional viewing of the structures of the head and neck. This leads to safer surgery because we can visualize exactly where important things like nerves and major blood vessels are. It also allows us to give more accurate predictions on outcome and surgical planning, thus reducing the risk of surprises during the process. For those concerned about radiation you will be glad to know that this new technology uses advanced digital imaging that keeps the radiation for an implant scan at 95% less than that from a traditional CT scan.
