For transgendered children, the process of reaching adulthood is riven with bullying and misunderstanding: it could be different. Transgendered children are one of the most isolated and misunderstood groups in our society. Yet the means to address their plight is in the hands of everyone, especially those in charge of health and education.

Tu-Tone'S Automobile Detailing - Denison, IA - Phone: (712) 263-8977
'Auto Restoration', also known as automotive restoration, is a process of repairing a car. In auto restoration, an antique car is generally repaired and restored to its original condition as far as possible. In Denison, auto restoration is mainly done by hobbyists and sometimes by repair shops. Antique cars are quite expensive to maintain, and their restoration requires some good amount of money.
The auto restoration companies in Denison, restore the cars as need arises. Both the interior and exterior parts are restored during automotive restoration. The age of the car can make it tough to collect the exact parts of that particular car, which can sometimes cause a bit difficulty during auto restoration in Denison.

We have a LINQ query on the Partion and Rowkey against an Azure table storage instance that is generated differently when the web role is running in the dev fabric versus the Azure fabric. The query Uri (determined by calling ToString() on the IQueryable
that is generated from the LINQ query) is generated as a filter when the web role is running on a dev machine and not in the fabric.
Dev Fabric Uri:
https://foo.table.core.windows.net/Bars()?$filter=(RowKey eq 'email@example.com') and (PartitionKey eq '41e0c1ae-e74d-458e-8a93-d2972d9ea53c')
Azure Fabric Uri:
I believe this is causing the well known ResourceNotFound errors when methods like FirstOrDefault are called. We know the ways to handle this.
My question is why is the Uri generated differently when generated in a dev web role versus an Azure web role?
Here is some code that is similar to what was used to generate the Uri's in both cases.
TableServiceContext context = new TableServiceContext();
var qry = context.Somethings.Where(m => m.RowKey == Username && m.PartitionKey == ProjectID);
if (qry.FirstOrDefault() == null) {
// ^ This statement generates an error when the web role is running
// in the fabric
Answer 1
I think this is the same question I answered a bit ago on StackOverflow. Check the answer there (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3340448/determine-request-uri-from-wcf-data-services-linq-query-for-firstordefault-agains/3340755#3340755),
copied here for everyone else's benefit:
See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2010/07/26/how-wcf-data-service-changes-in-os-1-4-affects-windows-azure-table-clients.aspx.
Specifically, it used to be the case (in previous Guest OS builds) that if you wrote the query as you did (with the RowKey predicate before the PartitionKey predicate), it resulted in a filter query (while the reverse, PartitionKey preceding RowKey)
resulted in the kind of query that raises an exception if the result set is empty.
I think the right fix for you (as indicated in the above blog post) is to set the IgnoreResourceNotFoundException to true on your context.
Answer 2

Every evening, an eclectic crowd squishes onto one strip of sidewalk in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Businessmen stand next to Billy Idol and Madonna clones who jostle with clean-cut students. All of them glance longingly at a man with a clipboard in a nearby doorway. Sometimes the gatekeeper screams a name and one lucky person elbows through the door into a smoky room where rock 'n' roll blares. No one dances, no one gets drunk, but in 15 minutes or so each man or woman pays $7 to $12 plus tip and exits happily with a Guido, a James Dean or a Spina di Pesce.
The scene may sound like just another clip joint but it isn't: This is the Astor Place barber shop. Every day, hundreds of John and Jane Does become pseudo-rock stars and royalty with one of Astor Place's 170 or so nicknamed hairdos. So much for the days when barbers were even lonelier than Maytag repairmen—now people wait up to an hour and a half for the privilege of an Astor Place cut.
Though few shops draw such huge crowds, haircutters from Greenwich Village to the Hollywood Hills have made a comeback. More than ever before in this century, people openly devote hours and spend big bucks for the right coif. Glemby Company, owners of more than 1,000 hair salons across the U.S., saw its sales leap by 20 percent last year. Meanwhile the $2.5 billion hair-care business grows at a hair-raising pace. Though styling mousse only hit the market early last year, sales reached $250 million before 1985.
Walk down five blocks in the center of almost any U.S. city and you'll see the fast clip of the hair boom. Unlike those boring decades when most people wore similar styles, the mane-stream now flows in countless new waves. Men wear tiny ponytails, women wear spiky crew cuts, and those who can't decide find ways to mat their hair down for work and stick it straight up at night. "People don't want to look natural anymore. They want to look dramatic," says Hollywood celeb stylist Armundo, whose clients include Priscilla Presley and Tom Cruise. Susan Flinker, author of a new book called Hip Hair, explains the obsession: "People think of hair as the ultimate accessory now. If your hair looks wonderful, others may not notice that you've worn the same dress three days in a row."
It isn't as easy as it used to be to hear the golden words, "Darling, your hair looks divine." Not only do you need an earthshaking hairdo—you need a new one for every occasion. Though Cher has done it for years, other celebs now challenge her claim to the most changeable locks. Last fall Princess Diana switched her coiffure three times in two weeks. Olivia Newton-John, once so prim, has already changed her hair four times this year. Even tennis star Martina Navratilova sticks her dyed-blond hair up in spikes for social occasions but lets it flow freely for business on the court.
Meanwhile some of the style setters on MTV can't seem to make up their minds. Boy George and Eddie Van Halen cut off their long locks while Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger, close-cropped in 1984, are letting it all grow out. David Bowie and Michael Jackson both expose their musical ears. But Bowie now looks ready for Wall Street—not a hair out of place—while Jackson goops on handfuls of styling lotion to keep the wet look alive.
In London, where the most extreme trends usually begin, one of this year's hot styles involves dying rainbow colors into the hair. Says Keith Wainwright, cutter of trendy British tresses, "If people are prepared to change their hair color, say, from white to brown, then why not make it green?" To a certain extent that philosophy has crossed the Atlantic. Cyndi Lauper changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, and stylists say that even their dye-hard clients now are asking for bright parrot-colored highlights. Less committed types buy tinted strands of fake hair to weave into their own—or they use spray-on, wash-off hair colors in fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark and sparkly shades. Nestle's Streaks 'n Tips, a temporary spray color that used to sell mostly during Halloween, is now bought steadily year-round. Sales ($2 million in 1982) will probably reach $8 million this year.
Tina Turner, who never ever does nothin' nice and easy, found her own way to improve on nature. She ties her hair in a ponytail at the top of her head, fans the ends outward and attaches bundles of supplementary hairpieces. Other celebs seem to agree that more is better. While Dynasty's Diahann Carroll and Joan Collins wear wigs, their natural looking co-star Linda Evans hangs a fall over her own thin locks to add some body. Today show weatherman Willard Scott likes to lose his toupee to get laughs. But he never kids around when caring for it. He pays $800 each to replace his several mop tops every few years; his on-air toupee is washed every day and Scott now dyes his graying temples once a week to match his hairpiece.
"Hair is entirely unsatisfactory," says art and fashion historian Anne Hollander. "It is never natural. If we don't do anything to it, we all look like Amazonian jungle dwellers." Since all styling battles hair's natural chaos, Hollander sees a link between the new antinatural styles and the natural look popular since the early 19th century. "The antibeautiful styles are just a new convention," she says. "They aren't rebellious—it would be more rebellious to do nothing to your hair."
Hollander also points out that wild hair has appealed to young people throughout history. During the French Revolution women cut their hair short and men wore "messy, peculiar effects that looked deathly and strange." Fifteen hundred years ago young men living through the fall of ancient Rome adopted the hair and clothing styles of barbarian invaders in order to shock their elders. Hollander credits the current obsession with hair to a simple fact: For centuries everyone wore hats, and now we have nothing to decorate our heads except hair.
In London kids cut their hair at home and use soap or glue to make it stand on end. In Washington Ronald Reagan pays $20 for a 25-minute wash, haircut and blow-dry every two weeks or so, leaving each hair shorter than two and a half inches. In Beverly Hills celebrities get house calls from Armundo for up to $500. Is there anything left to do to hair? "Short hair is here to stay on both boys and girls," says Astor Place barber shop co-owner Enrico Vezza. "Androgyny is just finishing off and longer straight hair is coming back," says Clairol consultant and hair colorist Louis Licari. Well, probably Licari is right...but only by a hair.
Ranking Roger, a/k/a Skunkhead, shows his untrue colors as part of the hot British rock band General Public. "It is tricky to do my hair," says Roger, who visits the hairdresser every three months. "What they usually do is part it and stick these metal clips in to keep the black from the blond." Roger originally dyed his hair to match a car that he owned with a stripe down the side. Now his motto is never get the same color twice in a row. "It was orange to start with," he says. "Then it was blond, then I had orange in between the blond and the black, and I just had it redone with a bit of red instead of orange. But it isn't as if I want to dye it until it drops out. I mean, by the time we do the next album, I'll probably be a skinhead again."
Turn on your smoke alarm. Chaka Khan's greatest fear about her hair is that she's going to set it afire with a cigarette. That is, if it doesn't first get caught in a car door or on a coat hanger. In order to keep her miraculous 10-inch mop in shape, Khan gets a trim every few months, a wave set every six months and adds auburn hues herself with Clairol's Racy Wine coloring. Three or more days a week, she washes her hair and spends the rest of the day waiting for it to dry completely. "It's heavy, especially when it's wet," says Chaka. "When I perform, my sweat makes it heavy. But that's more or less my signature—sweat and hair."
Alternating her locks between greasy kid stuff and modified Marilyn Monroe, Madonna has become the hairstyle trendsetter of the younger generation. Romeo, her New York stylist at Girl Loves Boy, labors over her casual do. Every two months or so he spends about two hours adding gold highlights to the material girl's naturally curly hair. (That costs her about $180.) Romeo, who also taught Madonna to tie bows in her hair, might wish he had copyrighted the look. "Her 'Boy Toy' image is very easy to do," says Beverly Hills stylist Angelo di Biase, who is often asked for the Madonna look. "You put gel in your hair, tie a scarf around it and you're ready to go."
Goldilocks he ain't. Dee Snider, lead singer of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister, openly reveals the information only his hairdresser is supposed to know. He bleaches his long curly mane. However, Snider insists that every one of the delicate strands is firmly attached to his own scalp: no perm, no wig. We can merely assume that he occasionally submits to some more traditional hair care—such as a shampoo.
He has outstanding hair," says Hip Hair author Susan Flinker about ol' yeller Billy Idol (below). "It's what I call wrong-side-of-the-tracks raunchy." Flinker reveals the secret to Billy's do: "First it has to be totally bleached out so it gets brittle and dry. Then when he blow-dries it from the roots up, it makes each hair stand on end, and that's how he gets the snaky effect." Billy isn't the only close-cropped rock idol. Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics (bottom) enjoys the freedom of a mannish cut. She isn't particularly picky about stylists: As she travels on concert tours, she gets a touch-up from the closest trained scissors. Flinker approves of Lennox's do: "She has made androgyny safe for the masses."
Long, short, curly, frizzy, straight, blond, skunky—pick any adjective, and it probably applies to Cher's naturally black hair during the past two decades. Now as always, Cher is a locks leader. Beverly Hills stylist Jose Eber, who clips Cher every three weeks, just spent half an hour trimming and an hour retouching the dark dye that partly covers her recent bout of blondness. Perhaps for contrast, Cher's manfriend, Josh Donen, wears a monochrome shaggy cut, while Chastity (left) curls up in Mom's shadow.
As the close-cropped hero of 1983's Risky Business, Tom Cruise made short hair hip for kids again. But when the cameras turned off, Tom went Woodstock. "I've always had long hair," explains Cruise. "I prefer it that way." Though he had to cut and dye his hair darker for Risky Business, Tom kept his locks at the length he likes in order to play an eccentric hermit in the upcoming Legend. Shortly it will all come off again for his role as a Navy fighter pilot in his next film, Top Gun. Tom's steady date and Risky Business co-star, Rebecca De Mornay (below, right), makes life a lot easier for fans who want to copy her look. She generally lets it all hang down.
The woman has made a career out of looking severe, but when Grace Jones (right) heads in for a haircut, this girl just wants to have fun. She brings generous amounts of champagne to the Girl Loves Boy salon in Manhattan and shares it freely as she gets a $50 modified GI Joe cut. Jones' London haircutter, Trevor Sorbie, also gets a kick out of maintaining her look. "It's like carving, almost," he says. "You literally cut it like a hedge, with electric clippers." Many folks, such as Olympian Carl Lewis (above), now wear similar cuts to the one Grace introduced in 1980. But not everyone gives Grace credit. "Carl has his own haircut," says Lewis' manager, Joe Douglas. "His cousin gave it to him, and now people are copying his look."
I am the black Samson, and the Lord has put my strength in my hair." So saith Don King, the boxing and concert promoter with the hairdo only God could love. To promote the electrocution look, King just washes his hair a couple of times a week, pats it with a towel and voilà! "It's au naturel," he insists. "I came home one night, woke up the next day and it was popped up and it's been that way ever since. My hair is like an aura from God. Each hair stands up pristine and beautiful on its own individual stimulation. Know what I mean?" King doesn't plan a style change in the near future. "I'm staying with it," he says, adding patriotically, "my hair makes me feel good to be an American."
Percussionist and singer for the Thompson Twins, Alannah Currie acquired her unique style on a whim. "One day I got into a really bad mood, so I just went upstairs and shaved the sides off," she told London's Sun. "It was a real mess, but eventually I went to the hairdressers to have it tidied up, and now I rather like it." Reportedly Alannah is growing the sides again in little V shapes, letting the back and top grow long, and she doesn't wear her trademark oversize hats as often. What's more, she has stopped wearing her stick-on butterfly tattoo. How will we recognize her?
Just when we got used to the Boy as a girl, George O'Dowd cut off his famous tresses, and we had to see him as a boy again. Sort of. The new cut gave the pop singer no need to hide his face in shame. Last December when he stopped in at White Trash, a hot London nightspot, many failed to recognize him. Originally dyed bright orange, the Boy's cropped crown later became a conservative black, and now it's a subtle mousy brown. Is George through with wave-making? No way. As he modestly told London's Daily Star, "I brought long hair into fashion, and now I'm getting rid of it. This is going to be the look this year. I got it cut because I like being ahead of everyone else. Somebody has to take the initiative, don't they?"

TAXPAYERS are footing the bill for some of the renovations to the former Strawbridge & Clothier building at 8th and Market Street, new home to Interstate General Media, publisher of the Inquirer, Daily News and philly.com.
The state is providing $3 million for the building's landlord, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT), to redevelop the building as part of a $10.5 million grant for renovations to the Gallery at Market East from the state's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). PREIT is also investing its own money in the project.
The state money reimburses PREIT for renovations to the third floor, where the company is situated, said PREIT's CEO, Joseph Coradino. This is on top of a $2.9 million city loan that Interstate is receiving to finance its move to 801 Market from 400 N. Broad St.

Ok, that's a bit of a dramatic title. No, there won't be any physical violence here, but at PJD we are equal opportunity haters. As much as we'd like to meat-hook Packer fans or watch Bear followers drown in a vat of lard, we also understand that tons of other team's fans would like to shove one of those Viking horns straight up Viking fans urethras. Hey, sometimes we want to do that to ourselves for being Viking fans too! So in an effort to remain FAIR AND UNBIASED we're going to occasionally do a Behind Enemy Lines series where we put on another team's colored glasses and tear into Viking fans. It helps us to remain as humble as we are! Ha. Kidding. We shit on humble pie around here. Anyway, today we'll start with a division team that poses no threat to the Vikings any more in 2009 (you know, just to play it safe), The Detroit Lions Cats!
"Well, congratulations Viking fans, your team is 9-1! I guess that means that you're going to win the Super Bowl, huh? Just like all the other times you had such a great regular season record and then just dominated teams in the playoffs while rolling to a Lombardi trophy? Remember? Man, it felt just like yesterday when I wasn't laid off from the Ford plant and I got watch the Vikings roll over the Gi'nts in New York in the NFC Championshi … oh, wait, that's right. You got your fucking asses kicked. Hold on, let me check the stat sheet … is this right? 41-0? Who doesn't score at least a field goal in a playoff game? Wait, let's look again … am I seeing this correctly? Team history here says that you haven't won a Super Bowl? Ever? In four appearances? Jesus, we may as well just call you the Bills. And everyone knows they suck, so why do you think your team is so damn great?
"Oh sure. Let's get this one out of the way. 'Hope you enjoyed your 0-16 season Lion fan!' LULZ! That's original! No one has every made fun of Lion fans before for our team going 0-16! News flash, you fat fuck, no one cares. That's like a badge of honor now. We're the greatest at sucking! Not even you Vikings can say that. You just suck. Truth is, we probably should have had at least two wins that year and, what do you know? They would have both been against your sorry excuse for an overrated team! It's amazing how often the zebras have to save your ass when you play us. Or here, this is always a great one too. 'What're you talking about Lion fan? You've never won a Super Bowl either!' True. However, we've never looked like a bunch of pushover gutter trash cum dupsters for a quarter of the teams in the league in the biggest game of every year. Nice showing you guys always seem to have. When was the last time you were at that game as NFC representatives? 1976? Sooo … over 30 years ago? I'm sure that memory is dustier than your mother Olga's 'giner. At least until I leave that thing reeking of summer sausage. So what are you so confident about now?
"Sure, sure, toss on the hate. 'The Lions have done nothing! They're the biggest joke franchise ever! You guys suck!' So creative, and typical, from a sports franchise that's only 50 years old. Oh, didn't you hear? The Lions football lineage is considered one of the greatest of all time, dating back to before your golden locked grandparents were born on that freezing tundra you call a state. I'm pretty sure we practically invented football, while your team has just been embarrassing this great game we've nurtured for over 90 years. Thanks, ass hats. But, no, you're right, we do suck. Our four NFL Championships can never compare to your one or your paltry division championships once the modern NFL was created. Because nothing is better than being teased by a team year in and year out, thinking that you've got a Super Bowl coming only to find yourself as a stepping stone for another team's excellence. I mean, that's kind of like how Prince and Bob Dylan used your state too, right? They couldn't wait to get the hell out of there either, like I'm guessing your purple covered team is thinking right now. At least the Lions know how to do it. All or nothing. No dicking around. We either are going to suck it up or run rampant over your remains, none of this Viking cock teasing that your team does. That shit would drive me to a blue balled suicide.
"But don't worry Viking fans. You have Purple Jesus! He's the best running back ever! He'll single handily win a Super Bowl for you! No, no, you're absolutely correct. As a Lions fan, I can't think of a single other running back that has ever entered the league with such admiration and accolades, someone that could singly take over a game and embarrass other players so thoroughly on the field, someone that was guaranteed to win us everything, only to not come through at all. That has never happened. Nope. Nobody rings a bell. Wait, actually … you know, we used to have a pretty good running back once too. I wonder what ever happened to him? Probably sitting on his multiple Super Bowl trophies. You stupid dicks bags.
"Enjoy your magical season though, you ignorant fucks. Us Detroit Lion fans are just sitting here building up karma points. Sure, we're piling up the losses now, but I think we all know what the average fan would rather have; an old interception prone quarterback with aging players around him that's bound to break your hearts again in an important playoff game or a young, solid core with a promising decade ahead of them and an enormous window of Super Bowl opportunity in the future? Yeah, get ready to be our bitch, you swollen purple pussies."
Wow, Lions fan! Scathing! Leave your response to us him in the comments!

Marcelle can never get enough of this blueberry ice cream, the recipe for which came from her friend Trevor Wisdom.
Makes about 1 quart
2 pints fresh blueberries, rinsed well and picked over
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
Zest from 1 lemon removed in long strips
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, water and zest. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to fall apart and the syrup thickens, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and discard the lemon zest. Carefully transfer in batches to a food processor or blender and puree on high speed. Pass through a fine strainer into a large bowl, pressing against the solids with the back of spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours.
Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a plastic container and freeze until firm and ready to serve.

On paper, things didn't appear to be promising for Canyon girls soccer.
Coming off a fifth-place showing in the Foothill League in 2012, the Cowboys began the year at 0-4 under new head coach Derek Rusk and currently had only one returning all-leaguer healthy.
On paper, it appears things are misleading.
Canyon defeated a solid Burroughs of Burbank team 4-0 on Wednesday at Canyon High School and looked every bit like a team that will contend come league play this year and nothing like a winless team in the dumps.
"It is very misleading," said Canyon sophomore Vanessa Quintero of her team's record coming in. "These girls will turn out to be a very good team."
Canyon (1-4) was crisp on offense, steadfast on defense and full of desire and confidence.
The Cowboys got two goals in the game from the diminutive Quintero, who hustled up and down the sidelines throughout the contest and put herself in scoring position throughout.
Canyon attacked early and got on the board 1-0 with a header from 10 yards out in the game's 15th minute by Kelsi Howard.
Quintero made it 2-0 in the game's 35th minute with her first score off a corner kick from Kendall Bietsch.
Burroughs head coach Eddie Garcia said his team had plenty of offensive opportunities and didn't cash in.
He added that Canyon's scores came on defensive breakdowns.
"I told (our players) at halftime that if I were Canyon I'd go through the right back and left back and beat them on pace," Garcia said. "They did a better job of finishing."
In the second half, Canyon's defense squeezed the Indians out of opportunities.
"Defensively in the back, we have four players who play with poise and they're not quick to dive in and they work well together," Rusk said.
Those four players — Michelle Hogan, Celia Franco, Daniella Ginocchio and Hanna Halsted — combined with returning All-Foothill League first team goalkeeper Meghan Kennedy to shut Burroughs (3-1) out.
Canyon added its third goal in the game's 48th minute when Brooke Moore took the ball just past midfield and fired from 25 yards out past Burroughs keeper Taylor Bailey.
In stoppage time, Quintero took a pass from Bietsch and chipped it over Bailey's left shoulder for a 4-0 lead.
Canyon came into the game having scored in every contest, but was outscored 13-7 in those four games.
Rusk said his team was in those games, but made mistakes that eventually cost it wins.
The girls never lost confidence, though.
"I think the way we've been playing games we've dominated possession at times, we've outshot teams, but we've given up goals," Rusk said. "The scoreboard didn't reflect our play. The scoreboard today reflected what kind of team I think this is."

Social Mix and the City
Challenging the Mixed Communities Consensus in Housing and Urban Planning Policies
152 pages, 245 x 170 mm
CSIRO Publishing
Concern about rising crime rates, high levels of unemployment and anti-social behaviour of youth gangs within particular urban neighbourhoods has reinvigorated public and community debate into just what makes a functional neighbourhood. The nub of the debate is whether concentrating disadvantaged people together doubly compounds their disadvantage and leads to 'problem neighbourhoods'. This debate has prompted interest by governments in Australia and internationally in 'social mix policies', to disperse the most disadvantaged members of neighbourhoods and create new communities with a blend of residents with a variety of income levels across different housing tenures (public and private rental, home ownership). What is less well acknowledged is that interest in social mix is by no means new, as the concept has informed new town planning policy in Australia, Britain and the US since the post Second World War years.
Social Mix and the City offers a critical appraisal of different ways that the concept of 'social mix' has been constructed historically in urban planning and housing policy, including linking to 'social inclusion'. It investigates why social mix policies re-emerge as a popular policy tool at certain times. It also challenges the contemporary consensus in housing and urban planning policies that social mix is an optimum planning tool – in particular notions about middle class role modelling to integrate problematic residents into more 'acceptable' social behaviours. Importantly, it identifies whether social mix matters or has any real effect from the viewpoint of those affected by the policies – residents where policies have been implemented.
"I commend this book to all interested in planning, housing policy and policy process analysis in general."
Sean Gould, Community Development Journal, December 2012, pp 169
"The links to new literature and the commentary weaved around previously published research are sufficient to make this volume a useful publication for social mix practitioners in Australia. Readers outside Australia may wonder if this book is relevant to them - it is!"
David Manley, Journal of Social Policy, Vol 42, 2013, pp 183-185
"This is one of the best summaries of the literature on social mix and the city that I have read. The book is well written, well structured, for the most part comprehensive, and presents a series of stimulating arguments and debates in an accessible style."
Loretta Lees, International Planning Studies, 17 (4), pp. 421-423, October 2012
"Arthurson's stated aim for her book was 'to challenge the way debates about social mix and disadvantaged neighbourhoods are framed' (p. 3). She has surely succeeded in persuasively doing so and her work merits wide reading amongst academics, students, practitioners and, perhaps above all, policy-makers."
John Flint, Housing Studies, August 2012
"Social Mix and the City is an excellent book for students and researchers in urban studies, planning, geography, sociology and related disciplines... It will also be of interest to policy makers and practitioners working in government, community organizations and those with an interest in seeking to enhance community involvement in urban policy and practice."
Elena Pede, Urban Research & Practice, Vol 5(2), 2012, pp 295-297

BAY CITY, MI — The United Way of Bay County's "Feeding Our Neighbors" food drive tipped scales in a big way this month, collecting 6,200 pounds of food for those in need.
The food will directly benefit 27 food pantries in Bay County that are likely running low after May's nationwide drive by the National Association of Letter Carriers, said Archie Gittins, community service director at the United Way of Bay County.
Tera Wieland, a United Way of Bay County spokeswoman, said the drive stands to make a significant impact.
"It means that all of the pantries in Bay County are going to start off the holiday season, which is the biggest season for people having a need for food … with quite a boost."
Kicking off with Michigan Sugar Co.'s donations to 39
pantries throughout central Michigan on Oct. 7, the drive continued over the
following two weeks with collection locations throughout Bay County. The drive culminated with a "Halloween Duo" event on Oct. 20 that featured a movie double feature and children's costume contest at
the historic State Theatre in downtown Bay City.
The "Help for the Hungry" program at the Do-Care Family Enrichment Center, a division of Do-All Inc, was one of the beneficiaries of the food drive. The program had been founded three months prior as a means of providing emergency, one-day assistance to families who didn't have immediate access to a food pantry, but had since run out of supplies.
"We had gotten to the point where we actually had to tell
211 not to refer people to us temporarily, because we had no food," said Kristal Corrion, Director of Do-Care. "This made
all the difference in the world for us, because now we can do that thing for
the community that we say we'll do."
211 is a non-emergency telephone hotline that provides referrals for basic needs, including health care and food.
The drive was a collaboration between the United Way, Hidden Harvest and the Bay County Food Council. Additional help came from Bay Metro Transit Authority, which gathered roughly half the food collected in a series of donation boxes. Consumers Energy also served as a partner on the food drive, as did a number of local high schools — All Saints Central, Bay City Central, Essexville-Hampton Garber, and Bangor Township John Glenn.
Wieland called the drive a success.
"This is the first time we've ever done this, so we didn't have any idea where we would go," she said. "But 6,000 pounds is pretty significant."

Enforcement powers
We strive to improve housing conditions for people in Plymouth, protecting their health, safety and well-being. When possible we try to achieve improved standards through working with Landlords, Tenants, Leaseholders and Owner Occupiers, providing information, guidance and general support. However, in some circumstances we have to resort to using legal powers. Examples include -
- Powers of entry - these allow us to obtain entry into property for the purposes of inspection when access is denied. Should we be obstructed we may obtain a warrant to enter from the courts. This allows to us force entry if we have to.
- Power to require information - we are able to serve notices requiring certain information to be given, for example about who owns a property. This enables us to act to improve the property by way of the other powers described.
- Hazard awareness notices - these will ensure that the owner/person responsible is aware of a hazard and the desirability of carrying out repairs/alterations (Housing Act 2004).
- Power to serve notices requiring works to be done - we can serve notices requiring work to be done to improve living conditions for occupiers and/or neighbours. The work we specify depends, of course, upon the conditions we find and what the law allows us to do.
- Powers to enter a property and undertake work - should work fail to be completed as required by a notice, we have the option to do the work and recharge the owner.
- Power to take over management of properties - this may be in for a number of reasons, including inability to issue a licence (where required), long term empty property, etc (Housing Act 2004).
- Power to close a property - this follows a detailed assessment to decide the best course of action to deal with a seriously substandard property. Closure might be required where improvements are too expensive or the property is beyond improving. A notice would require that the property be no longer lived in. (Housing Act 2004 Prohibition - allows prohibited use of part of a building and use by certain groups).
- Power to require demolition of a property - this is done in similar circumstances to closure.
Where a notice is not complied with we can pursue a prosecution.
We always aim to avoid legal action where it is possible. However, when circumstances require it we will take the action in the best public interest. Our Enforcement Policy describes how we conduct enforcement action, and this is summarised in a leaflet. Both documents are available below.

Get ready. The coldest air we've seen all season is expected to move in early next week.
Into Monday, Oklahoma will see temperatures ranging from the low 60s to the low 70s for highs in the afternoon. A strong cold front is set to move in late Monday night into early Tuesday morning. The specifics will be narrowed down as the time gets closer.
Oklahoma will feel strong northeast winds on Tuesday with temperatures in the morning in the mid-30s and afternoon highs only in the low 40s.
In wake of the cold front, a dome of high pressure will build in. As skies clear and winds die down, temperatures will drop to the mid-20s Wednesday morning. A hard freeze is expected for the city.
This will mark the coldest air all season in Oklahoma City. Although it will be frigid, it will not be record-breaking cold air. The record-low temperature for Wednesday is 12 degrees from 1940.

Carrie will donate $1 from each ticket sold on the North American leg of "The Blown Away Tour" to support Red Cross disaster relief. Each year, the American Red Cross prepares for and responds to nearly 70,000 disasters across the United States.
Underwood's two previous headline tours, 2008's "Carnival Ride Tour" and 2010's "Play On Tour," performed for a combined total of nearly 250 shows with 2.2 million fans in attendance and she wrapped-up both years as the top-ranked female country touring artist.

This multi-instrumentalist continues to garner praise from fans and critics alike as he made his world-premiere national television debut on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman and also performed with The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and on Good Morning America. The Louisiana native has shared the stage with Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley, and Hank Williams, Jr. to name a few.

An upper low pressure trough moving across the northern Rocky Mountains will induce a low pressure trough and surface low over the Texas panhandle and Southern Plains region today and Wednesday December 2nd and 3rd. Interaction between this lower pressure and higher pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will tighten the pressure gradient across Deep South Texas. In turn, Southeast to South winds increase to breezy levels, 15 to 25 mph, later this afternoon with some gusts around 30 mph. The low pressure area continues to deepen tonight into Wednesday with winds picking up another notch.
Windy and gusty conditions are anticipated across much of the Rio Grande Valley with South winds to increase 20 to 30 mph with stronger conditions along the coastal region and across portions of Cameron, Willacy and Kenedy counties were winds could range from 25 to 35 mph with a few gusts to 40 mph. A wind advisory might be necessary, across the Lower Valley, should these windy conditions come to past. Although not unheard of, windy days in December are not as common as the typical windy days of March or Spring. The longer and usually warmer days in the Spring allow for deeper mixing of the boundary layer winds, up to 5000 feet above the surface, to translate to the surface. Wednesday's above the surface up to 5000 feet are forecast to increase to 45 mph with a portion of these winds working their way to the surface between 10 am and 4 pm.
In addition and as a result of the strong winds, temperatures and humidities will soar over what has been experienced the last few days. Temperatures tonight will be noticeably warmer with minimums running as much as 10 to 20 degrees warmer. Highs on Wednesday will be around 10 degrees above normal with Highs ranging from 80 near the coast to mid 80s inland. Humidity levels will climb as the South winds off the Gulf of Mexico usher in dew points which will exceed 65 degrees along the coast and near 60 degrees across the western portions of Deep South Texas by Wednesday morning.

The case of a Belington man charged with child neglect after state police discovered a mobile meth lab in a van in Norton last week was bound over to Randolph County Circuit Court Thursday.
During a preliminary hearing, Randolph County Magistrate George "Mike" Riggleman found probable cause on all seven charges lodged against Gary Loy, 39.
Loy is charged with two counts of exposure of children to methamphetamine; unlawful assault on an official; operating a clandestine lab; two counts of child neglect; and operating or attempting to operate a clandestine drug lab, all felonies.

Gary Loy, 39, watches as his attorney, Dwight Hall, speaks during Randolph County Magistrate Court on Thursday. Loy, a resident of Belington, is facing seven different charges stemming from the discovery of a mobile meth lab last week.
Also during the hearing, Loy's attorney, Dwight Hall, asked for a bond modification from $150,000 cash only to $150,000 cash or surety.
Riggleman scoffed at Hall's request.
"History has already shown us that Mr. Loy's ability to be bonded out didn't work," Riggleman said, referencing a previous bond agreement Loy violated. "When assessing bond, it is to secure the defendant to be in court and to protect the public safety. History has shown us that one, he (Loy) didn't show up for court and two, if found guilty of these charges he was endangering the public.
"The motion to modify bond is denied, this court has found probable cause and this hearing is closed," Riggleman declared, exiting the courtroom.
"What am I supposed to do now, man?" Loy asked his attorney before police officers ordered him to be removed from the courtroom.
Loy remained lodged in Tygart Valley Regional Jail as of press time Thursday evening.
The charges against Loy stem from two separate incidents - the most recent of which took place Aug. 28 near a popular hot dog vendor in Norton. Trooper 1st Class G.S. Deweese with the Elkins detachment of West Virginia State Police responded to a be-on-the-lookout call around 2 p.m. for Loy, who had three active felony warrants in Barbour County and one active felony warrant from Randolph County, according to previous reports. Deweese found Loy, his girlfriend, Tonya Warner, 29, also of Belington, and their 3- and 4-year-old children - along with a "shake-and-bake" mobile meth lab - in a white van in the parking lot in front of Bob's Hotdogs.
Child Protective Services took custody of the two children following the incident. Their mother, Warner, also was arrested and is currently in Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a $100,000 bond.
Deweese also testified Thursday that on July 8, he received an anonymous tip that Loy, Warner and their children were in the Elkins Walgreen's parking lot. At the time, Loy had three active felony warrants through the Belington Police Department for delivery of a controlled substance. Police believed he was making meth in Barbour County and transporting it to Randolph County, Deweese said.
Deweese said he saw Loy push a shopping cart to a trashcan at the front of Walgreen's and begin to throw away items. When he examined a bag Loy had discarded, Deweese said he saw "a pop bottle that appeared to have nitrate in it" and "several ingredients used to produce meth." Deweese said when a strong ammonia smell emerged from the bag, he called Sr. Trooper D.R. Wolford to the scene, who determined that the contents were once part of an active meth lab. Deweese said he isn't an expert in the identification of meth labs.
Also on Thursday, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Shannon Johnson called Trooper 1st Class K.A. Corley to the witness stand to testify about the risk meth manufacturing poses to children.
"There are a lot of flammable liquids, and it can blow up if not done correctly," Corley said. "Then, you're talking about exposure to a lot of (chemicals). It can go from very little (damage) up to the point of death."
Johnson told Riggleman she believes the state had demonstrated probable cause on all charges, but Hall took issue with the prosecution's failure to provide expert testimony.
"Both these troopers (Corley and Deweese) admit they're not experts in meth labs," Hall said. "There's been no expert testimony. The state hasn't met its burden of proof."
