Tommy Bahama has acquired the operations for its Canadian business from its licensee, the Jaytex Group. The deal includes nine stores in that country as well as a wholesale business that includes department and specialty stores such as the Hudson's Bay Co. There are five stores in Ontario, two in Alberta and two in British Columbia.
"The Tommy Bahama business in Canada has been solid, and we see great potential for growth in the market," said Doug Wood, president and chief operating officer of Tommy Bahama, a division of Oxford Industries. He said being able to oversee the business directly will allow the company "to establish consistent merchandising, marketing and distribution strategies between the U.S. and Canadian operations," and give Canadian customers "access to a broader product assortment, direct marketing offers and a closer relationship with the brand."
This follows the company's acquisition last year of its business in Australia, where it now operates five retail stores and a wholesale business. A new store is slated to open later this month in Sydney. Tommy Bahama has also partnered with FiftyOne Global Ecommerce, which will allow it to ship direct to consumers in more than 100 countries around the world.

In typical Kardashian/Jenner fashion, Kylie Jenner -- who's not even sixteen yet -- is already driving around in a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. Kylie doesn't turn sixteen until later this year but from the hints on her Instagram and now this photo from Rob, it looks like she may be getting her moms blacked-out "hand-me-down" G-Wagon.
Sure it's a hand-me-down -- if you can even call it that -- and it doesn't have a big red bow on top like Kendall's Rover but she doesn't seem to be complaining. Check out all the camera's in there!

Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yella Pils
Select Quantities
Item #48441
Call for Availability
- Size: 5Gal
- Type: Lager
- Varietal: Pilsner
- Country: United States
- Region: Colorado
"Oskar Blues' Mama's Little Yella Pils is an uncompromising, small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czech Republic, famous. Unlike mass market 'pilsners' diluted with corn & rice, Mama's is built with 100% pale malt, German specialty malts, and Saaz hops. While its rich with Czeched-out flavor, its gentle hopping (35 IBUs) and low ABV (just 5.3%) make it a luxurious but low-dose (by Oskar Blues standards) refresher."

The famous Honey Jar Spell. This folk spell has such a long history it's roots are buried in the mists of time.
Honey being a naturally sweet substance can be used in your magick to help sweeten up a bitter person or situation. Honey is also used in physical healing, having many medicinal properties, and it also carries powerful metaphysical healing properties.
If you have a person or situation that requires healing or sweetening up, simply write their name or a description of the situation, or a prayer or spiritual request on a piece of paper. You can include a photograph or something belonging to a person, or items that energetically connect the things in the jar of honey to the place, person or purpose. After the items have been inserted into the jar of honey, cap it securely and put it in out of the way place. Seal it with tape to be sure it will never leak.
Holding the jar in your hands, you can visualize the target of the spell sweetening up and/or healing. This is a time to say positive affirmations out loud, prayers or a spell chant. To do this daily keeps the energy flowing strongly.
You can program a piece of clear quartz to continually send and manifest the energies of sweetness and healing to the intention, affirmation, situation, person or photo that you've put in the jar of honey, and put that inside the jar of honey as well.
The flower of life symbol is a very pure and powerful symbol, one found in most ancient temples and churches. You could print one out and put that in the honey as well.
You could ask for an Angel to be assigned to your jar of honey to assist the outcome of your intentions forever. All prayers are heard, and are very powerful, and Angels love to help!
If you want to check if the spiritual work you've done on your jar of honey is operative and working, you can check it with a pendulum.
This spell can sit for as long as it needs to, for as long as you like! When you feel the magick has worked, you can dismantle the spell or dispose of the whole jar if you want to.
You might not want any labels on the jar of honey. To have the vibrations of your jar of honey and your spell pure it's best to remove any manufacturer's labels. The only thing I know of that dissolves label glue easily is Eucalyptus Oil which is easily obtained. I buy mine in the supermarket as it's often used to rub on the chest or breathe in steam when one has a cold. A health food store would also stock it.
I tried this spell recently for the first time, and I feel that I am seeing phenonemal results! Very quickly. Like. Instantly.
I asked for a clear confirmation that my honey jar spell was active and manifest, for instance, and had an interesting coincidence. I did my first honey jar spell for my love and I. He knew nothing about it. I was watching a video on youtube, and my love was in the kitchen, in view of my seat at my computer. He interupted me to tell me something, so I paused my youtube video, and he said the word 'honey' in a very pronounced way. I thought, ok, he said the word, honey to me in a line of conversation, the day I happened to have done my first honey jar spell. That could just be coincidence.
I then turned back to my video, restarting it from where I'd paused it, and the first thing THAT person said, was 'honey'!!! In a totally different context. This had my attention. There was the clear confirmation I had asked for. And I have to say, I've been getting more love, sex and affection than ever!!! Another lovely confirmation. I'm eager to do more honey jars now for other special intentions, as I see the healing possibilties VERY clearly.
I remember that line when it comes to honey: miles of flight, in every bite. I've always loved that phrase. Little honey bees are so sweet. I wish you the sweet results that I have been having, for your Honey Jar Spell! Let me know how it goes!
If you have any questions regarding your honey jar spell, please leave a comment below this post. I would especially like to hear about any of your success stories, your tips or your advice on working with the Honey Jar Spell.
If it's a private matter for you, send email to firstname.lastname@example.com with Honey Jar Spell in the subject line.

The 2014 season could be a pretty special one for Jimmy Rollins -- or it could be a complete, reputation-ruining disaster.
At its best, this season could see Rollins become the team's all-time leader in hits -- passing Mike Schimdt -- on his way to a bounce-back season for himself and his team.
At its worst, this season could fall apart like last year, with a roster-gutting fire sale at the trading deadline -- a fire sale, despite what some fans might wish, that Rollins has no plans on being apart of.
"I don't plan on putting on a different uniform," Rollins said to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. "That's just the way it is."
If Rollins sticks to his guns, that means the Phillies will not be able to move him. As a 10-and-5 player, Rollins has earned the right to control his destiny, having spent the last five seasons with the Phillies, and by logging 10 years of MLB service.
Rollins has been adamant about not wanting to leave Philadelphia. Last season, with the Phillies struggling and talk of the team possibly trying to move him, Rollins said he would not waive his no-trade clause because he still have things he wanted to finish "No. 1" at in the organization.
That didn't go over well with fans, who viewed the mindset as selfish.
When asked by Zolecki about the comments, Rollins said they were taken out of context.
"I could say I've got work I need to do. I could say I've got records I need to break. I could say I want to win another World Series or two," Rollins said. "They (the fans) would love that because it's said the way they want to hear it. But we weren't going to win a World Series last year, so I couldn't make that statement at that moment. It doesn't matter how it's said. I really don't plan on putting on another uniform."
If the Phillies win this season, that shouldn't be a problem. Rollins can go a long way in making that happen, as this team always seems to go as far as Rollins can take them. In Rollins' prime, he was the heart and soul of the team, setting the tone as the leadoff hitter for a Phillies group that won five straight NL East titles.
Over the past two seasons, however, Rollins has struggled -- and so has the team.
If Rollins bounces back this season, his stance won't be a problem, as a trade would be unlikely. If he looks like he did last year, however, refusal to waive his no-trade clause will not go over well with the fan base. Could we hear boos in Philly for such an icon? Would you boo?

Two Books to Help You Stand Out in the Scientific Job Market
This book review was first published in Physics World. The press coverage of this year's Grammy awards taught me a new term: "producer inflation". The term refers to the way making hit records seems to require bigger collaborations now than it did in years past, when teams of one or two producers sufficed to create all of the tracks. Pop star Taylor Swift's latest Grammy-winning album, for example, boasted no fewer than 11 producers, while another hit album, by an... Read more

Print Journal ISSN 0974 - 7915
Online Journal ISSN 0974 – 7923
A Publication of Dayalbagh Educational Institute (Deemed University), Dayalbagh, Agra, India
Submission Deadline -31 December 2010
Literary Paritantra (Systems) is an international journal on literature and theory. Paritantra is a Sanskrit word which stands for all-encompassing overall general systems. The journal makes an endeavor to promote a holistic view of literature to celebrate the concept of "world literature- world community". It endeavors to unravel the underlying unifying link between science, the humanities and religion.
Some Reflections of Emeritus Editor Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi
"Ludwig von Bertalanffy was one of the first masterminds and advocates of a "General Systems Theory" or "General Systemology". In essence he postulates on the basis of formal analogies between physical, chemical and biological systems, the existence of general systems laws which could also apply to human and social sciences. In so far as it is always a question of understanding the various parts of a whole through their relation to this whole and to the other parts of the latter, it seems justified to regard the "general systemology" as hermeneutical (interpretative or explanatory) project. It is intended to integrate in a formal mode nature and culture in a single cosmos of which the inner plurality and unity are simultaneously ensured. This new world view reaches farther than science or art by itself and should ultimately include science, art, ethics, politics and spirituality. Out of this new world view, relying on the ceaseless creativity in the physical universe, biosphere, and human cultures, can arise a healing of the long split between science and the humanities and the schism between pure reason and practical life, both subject of interest to Immanuel Kant."
This Journal is available in both Print and Electronic forms.
Aims and Scope
1. Literary Paritantra (Systems), an International Journal on Literature and Theory, aims to provide a healthy and holistic forum for scholarly views on broad sociopolitical and cultural issues of human import, as evidenced in literature, literary theory, philosophy, art, television, cinema, popular culture, journalism, translation/translation studies, comparative literature and creative writing.
2. The journal encourages free play of mind, innovation and experimentation to produce fresh insights into the study of literary texts. The adoption of a holistic outlook, in opposition to a reductionist outlook, is encouraged in scholarly research and writing.
3. The aim of Literary Paritantra (Systems) is to embark on a journey of realization from 'vidya' (knowledge) to 'para-vidya' (transcendental knowledge).
4. The cherished goal of the journal is to initiate the world literary community to transdisciplinary approaches such as the Systems Approach in the study of literature, so as to encourage the establishment of a true world literature.
5. Literary Paritantra (Systems) is a peer-reviewed journal.
6. The journal has devoted a special section to scholarly, academic articles which employ Systems Theory, methodology, philosophy, concepts and approaches to the study of world literature.
Author Guidelines
The journal has five sections:
1. "Letters to the Editor" -- Views, Opinions, Suggestions, Theoretical and Literary perspectives to be shared, expressed, and which encourage an interchange of creative, innovative thoughts and ideas are welcomed.
2. "Short Papers" -- The Journal welcomes papers of approximately 2 to 4 pages. These short papers may be written on contemporary issues and concerns of literature, literary theory, culture, media, translation, philosophy, art, television, cinema and any other areas of scholarly interest, but must demonstrate academic command and excellence over the subject matter being covered.
3. "Long Papers" -- Articles of 15 to 25 pages length are welcomed in this section demonstrating an understanding of systems theory and illustrating how it may be employed in the study of literature and in literary theory. Articles may be written on contemporary issues and concerns of literature, literary theory, culture, media, translation, philosophy, art, television, cinema and any other areas of scholarly interest, but must demonstrate academic command and excellence over the subject matter being covered. Articles must contain supporting examples, illustrations, models, etc. and include recent research and theory encouraging interdisciplinarity and a searching for interconnections.
4. "Book Reviews" -- Reviews of books which address, explain, and expand on this new area of knowledge-- systems and literature—are encouraged. Other books on literature and literary theory are also considered. The length of a Book review should be approximately 2-5 pages.
5. "Creative Writing" -- Literary works of fiction, poetry, drama, etc. are accepted. Especially, writing that attempts to creatively and innovatively 'experiment' with new thoughts and ideas is encouraged.
Submission Guidelines
1. All papers must be neatly typed, double-spaced, and written in MLA style according to the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing 3rd edition. According to MLA Style, parenthetical citations within the body of the article and a 'Works Cited' page immediately following the last page of written text are required.

You could say Terry Felton inherited his home-brewing habit.
After a friend died in the 1990s, Felton received the man's beer-making equipment and supplies, everything needed to start brewing, if he was so inclined.
He wasn't. But the beer changed his mind.
"When he passed away, I got 100 gallons of his draft beer," mostly English ales and bitters, Felton said. "After drinking that with my meals every day for a year, I said, 'Now what the hell do I do?'"
That was 12 years ago. Since then, Felton has made about 150 different kinds of beer, fine-tuning his recipes and measuring his progress with the help of home-brewing contests like Amber Waves of Grain, New York State's largest home-brewing competition, whose 15th edition runs this weekend.
These contests mix elements of beauty pageant and coaching seminar, becoming a sort of finishing school for home brewers. The best bottles in each category compete for the coveted "best in show" award, Felton said. But every entry gets at least two detailed analyses written by trained judges, identifying strengths and flaws of the beer, and giving specific suggestions for improvement.
"You get some pretty quality critical feedback on what you're doing," said Felton, who will be an entrant and judge in this weekend's contest. "Both stylistically -- how close you come to the standard for that beer type -- and how clean and correct your process is, as presented to an unbiased taster."
A trained judge can tell a novice where he needs to work on his game, said Felton. "If they detect a flaw, they're supposed to tell you what caused it or how to avoid it," he said. "Or where you missed on the style -- the hopping level, the amount of residual malt backbone you left in the beer, or whether you let the yeast go too far, and it got thin."
This year, Amber Waves of Grain is drawing more than 400 entries from close to 100 individual brewers, said contest registrar Tim Collins, an engineer and veteran brewer. Nearly 40 trained judges will evaluate up to 80 styles of beer, mead and cider.
Home brewing's surging popularity might account for the contestant list including "30 new people we've never had before," Collins said. "That includes a lot of young people, which wasn't necessarily always the case."
Brad Robbins is one of the younger ones. He's 27, a professional bassist and lives in Cheektowaga with his brother, Kyle. They are entering five beers in this year's Amber Waves, his first time in the contest.
"The science-y aspects of the gear and the scientific measurements appeal to the inner geek that a lot of the home brewers seem to have," said Robbins, who has an environmental science degree. "Then there's the artistry. It's not just follow a process and add X, Y and Z. I mean, you can do that and come out with beer. But there's also that intangible level of experimentation, and craft, and just sort of pure art."
People his age are known for drinking beer more than making it, he acknowledged. But that might be changing, Robbins said, as a new generation of brewers finds its own reasons to carry on the craft.
"There's so much traditional knowledge -- brewing's been going on for thousands of years," said Robbins. "In the last decade or so, with the advent of technology, there's the danger that that knowledge has been marginalized, but people seem to be realizing that brewing is worth it."
In a digital age, when modern life moves fast, it's especially satisfying to make something delicious and satisfying in essentially the same way as pyramid-building Egyptians.
"When I home-brew a beer, I'm doing something that people in Mesopotamia did 4,000 years ago, for most of the same reasons," Robbins said. "It's sort of a way of reaching back into history and sipping from the deep wellspring of humankind."
For many home brewers he knows, Robbins said, brewing is related to a more general desire to cook and tinker with food. A vegetarian, Robbins said he has his own herb garden and likes to make dishes drawn from Thai, Indian, Mexican and Italian cuisines.
It wasn't much of a stretch when he made a beer for Christmas designed to emulate Indian chai milk tea. He started with a sweet stout recipe and added cardamom, cloves, ginger and cinnamon as spices. He also added lactose, which adds sweetness and body, and contributes to a more creamy texture, evoking chai's milky character.
"A lot of people ended up liking it," he said. But if it wasn't for the encouragement and knowledge of other home-brewing club members, he might not have had the nerve.
He joined the Niagara Association of Home Brewers "as soon as I started brewing," Robbins said. "When you have other people around who've been doing it for 10, 15, 20 years, you can learn a lot."
John DePaolo is a trial attorney and a 12-year home brewer who enters contests like Amber Waves of Grain partly to measure his work against others' efforts. "Strong, dark British beers, barleywines and Belgian beers, that's pretty much what I make," said DePaolo. "Those are the beers that cellar well, can last almost indefinitely, and this time of year, when it's cold out, help fortify the soul against the cold weather."
At work, DePaolo bills an average rate of $175 an hour. So why does he invest some of his precious free time making beer that he could easily buy?
His answer speaks to the pride of craftsmanship, the fact that he can make a special drink with his own hands. At an upcoming wedding, the guests will toast with his mead, a unique benediction that ties into mead's historic connection to weddings.
"Sure, I can go buy mead," he said. "I don't think it's as good as mine. Nonetheless, I was able to make this mead, and will be giving it to my future brother-in-law and sister-in-law for their wedding."
For many home-brew rookies, the best way to brewing happiness is finding a local home-brewing club. Kate Dee of Hamburg, president of the Sultans of Swig home-brewing club, started home brewing in 2007 after moving to Western New York from Portland, Ore.
"I went to my first meeting in February 2009, and instantly felt a kinship with fellow brewers, who welcomed me with open arms," she said via e-mail.
Dee knew that as a woman, she'd be in the minority. "I was nervous, but felt too passionately about the hobby to let that interfere with joining," she said. "I had recently befriended a club member who encouraged me, and told me that I wouldn't be the only female member, anyways."
Now the president, she credits the club with helping her fine-tune her Amber Waves entries, as well as placing in a nationwide women brewers' contest. "The feedback from club members, some of whom have been brewing for decades, has greatly improved the quality of my beer, she said.
If you're interested, she said, find a home-brew club. Take courage in the fact that the love of beer can overcome other differences.
"Some of these very technical brewers may be harder to get to know, but they are very supportive and have a wealth of knowledge," Dee said. "Once you speak their language -- the language of home brewing -- we never stop talking about beer."

The New York Yankees always expect to be the best team in baseball and to win the World Series. 2012 is no different, as the Yankees are set to continue the trend of New York teams winning championships.
After looking at a starting pitcher (Sabathia) and an outfielder (Swisher), we will turn the attention to the infield, with Yankees' starting first-baseman Mark Teixeira. "Tex" is one of the most important players on the Yankees because of his elite fielding and offensive production.

In article <firstname.lastname@example.com m>,
: Hi all!
: I have got a small problem in my SGI Prism server.
: $ uname -a
: Linux prism 2.4.21-sgi306rp13 #5 SMP Wed Mar 1 18:57:28 CST 2006 ia64
: ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux
: The SGI prism server is based on RHEL 3 and . It uses a g++ version
: 3.2.2 20030502. Now, on compiling a c program , I am getting following
: error when I compile the program:
: $ g++ test3.cpp nnet.cpp -I ~/library/headers -L ~/library/lib -lnrutil
: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/swagat/library/lib/libnrutil.a
: when searching for -lnrutil
: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnrutil
: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
: I already have header files and static library libnrutil.a at the
: specified place. The same program does not give any error on my debian
: system with 2.6.x kernel.
: Can anybody resolve this issue?
Is your library compiled for IA64? You didn't copy it from an x86 system, did
Run "objdump -a /home/swagat/library/lib/libnrutil.a" and examine the output to
determine the ISA of the object files contained in the archive. If it shows
"elf32-i386" then you will need to recompile the library for IA64, from source.
You'll also need to make sure that the library was compiled with a similar g++
version, as the C++ ABI has changed quite a few times in incompatible ways.

Astellas said yesterday it will shut down this year two U.S. laboratories obtained in recent acquisitions, narrow the focus of its Astellas Research Institute, and shutter a Japanese lab in 2015, all as part of an R&D restructuring.
Set to close their doors in the current fiscal year will be the labs of Astellas' OSI Pharmaceuticals subsidiary at the Broad Hollow Business Park in Farmingdale, NY, and of the Perseid Therapeutics subsidiary in Redwood City, CA.
Astellas did not disclose how many jobs would be eliminated at either facility, though the newspaper Newsday of Melville, NY, reported all 115 OSI staffers were told they were being laid off as part of a consolidation that would cut a total of 200 jobs. According to its annual report for the fiscal year that ended March 31, Astellas had 2,919 staffers in the Americas at the end of last year.
Astellas acquired OSI in 2010 and Perseid a year later when it bought Maxygen's interest in the joint venture.
Some functions at the OSI and Perseid sites will be transferred to Astellas' Tsukuba Research Center, a 1.5 million-square-foot drug discovery research facility in Tsukuba City, Japan, opened in 2008. Also moving to Tsukuba will be "multiple" functions of Astellas' Kashima research site in Osaka, Japan, which the company said it will shut down in 2015.
The Astellas Research Institute in Skokie, IL, will be refocused into an R&D site for CNS drugs. By April 2014, Astellas plans to consolidate its Clinical Development, Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs, and Pharmacovigilance functions by moving them from Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, closer to Astellas' headquarters in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
And by 2015, Astellas plans to shut down its Kashima research site in Osaka, Japan, and halt all in-house fermentation research, mostly conducted in Toyama, Japan.
In a statement, Astellas said the restructuring was necessary "to further enhance the ability to generate innovative drugs." The company articulated four goals: "utilize more external capabilities and resources; undertake initiatives related to new therapeutic areas and innovative technologies including regenerative medicine and vaccines; accelerate the development of Astellas' promising preclinical pipeline; and ensure sufficient investment in late-stage clinical pipeline."
Astellas said its forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, will include a JPY 11 billion ($108 million) charge reflecting the lab shutdowns and cutbacks.
The latest restructuring marks the second wave of cutbacks for Astellas in less than a year. The company in August closed its Urogenix R&D site in Durham, NC, which focused on urology research, and transferred its urology research activities to Tsukuba. Astellas also acquired the Urogenix site via acquisition, namely its 2006 purchase of Dynogen Pharmaceuticals.
Astellas follows other pharma giants that have shrunk their R&D operations in recent years—a category that includes AstraZeneca, Roche, Pfizer, and Takeda—as companies scramble to justify multi-billion-dollar investments in research and development of new drugs, or in some cases, brace for multi-million-dollar revenue losses as blockbusters lose patent protection.

Introduction: Advances in molecular biology have led to the identification of potential markers of prognostic and therapeutic importance in human cancers. HER-2 testing and targeted therapy now represents a critical cornerstone in the management of breast cancer. The objectives of the current study were to determine the frequency and prognostic significance of HER-3 over-expression and HER-4 over-expression by invasive breast cancer.
Methods: Tissue microarrays were constructed using clinically annotated formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 4046 patients diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma with a median 12.5 years of follow-up. Type 1 growth factor receptor family members HER-1, HER-2, HER-3, and HER-4 expression levels were determined by immunohistochemistry, and HER-2 status was further resolved by fluorescent in-situ hybridization. The study cohort was randomly divided and analyzed as a core data set and a validation data set.
Results: HER-3 over-expression was identified in 10.0% of tumors and was a significant marker of reduced patient breast cancer-specific survival on univariate analysis (P = 1.32 × 10−5). Furthermore, in tumors with normal expression levels of HER-1 and HER-2, the overexpression of HER-3 had a significant negative prognostic effect on disease-specific survival (HR: 1.541, 95% CI: 1.166–2.036, P = 2.37 × 10−3) independent of patient age at diagnosis, Estrogen receptor status, tumor grade, tumor size, nodal status, and the presence of lymphatic or vascular invasion by cancer. HER-4 overexpression was identified in 78.2% of breast cancers and was not a significant marker of patient survival (P = 0.214). Results of all statistical tests were positively confirmed in the validation data set analysis.
Conclusions: HER-3 status is an important prognostic marker of disease-specific survival in patients with invasive breast cancer. Accordingly, evaluation of the HER-3 expression level may identify a subset of patients with a poor disease prognosis, and who could undergo further evaluation for the efficacy of HER-3 targeted anticancer agents.

|Sharp wit keeps this Over the Hill guy going
Rohnert Parks Al Tornquist served in two wars and has seen America change in many ways in 95 years
Al Tornquist had no idea what was going on as friends began to trickle into Raley's Supermarket on Monday, May 5.
He thought it would be a normal meeting of the Over the Hill Gang, a group of senior citizens that meet each Monday, Wednesday and Friday to sit around and talk. But when he saw some of his friends arriving with cakes and cards, he knew something was afoot.
When told he was the subject of an interview because his friends were throwing him a surprise 95th birthday party, a big smile beamed across his face. And the jovial senior citizen asked, "Who pulled all this together? I had no idea any of this was happening."
Celebrating with Over the Hill Gang
Tornquist actually turned 95 the day before, but the first time the club could celebrate together was that Monday.
If a sharp wit is one of the keys to a long life, Tornquist has a lot more time on this earth. Even though he has hearing aids in both ears, when he hears an opportunity to deliver a zinger, he'll let it fly without hesitation.
"I always check the obituaries every day just to make sure my name's not in them," Tornquist said. "I'm older than dirt."
When asked how many children he has, Tornquist quipped, "Two that I'll admit to."
He moved to Rohnert Park eight years ago at the insistence of his sons and his daughter-in-law, from Alameda.
"It made no sense for them to keep coming to Alameda…they get tired, so this was a good move," Tornquist said.
The move came after his wife of 63 years, Billie, passed away. They're two sons are Steven and Bill, and his daughter in-law is Jean.
Part of greatest generation
Tornquist is a proud member of what many feel was America's greatest generation. He flew in B-17s in the South Pacific in World War II and was a supply officer during the Korean War. He earned the nickname Al "Bombardier."
After serving his country, Tornquist made his living as a salesman, specializing in winery equipment.
"I cover this territory (the North Bay) for years," he said.
At one time, the Over the Hill Gang had five members who served in World War II, but now they're down to Tornquist and Vern DiMartini, who served in the Navy.
"Al's a rough guy, that's all I've got to say," DiMartini said. "I've got to watch him all the time. He's making passes at all the women walking in. Gotta watch him like a hawk."
The Over the Hill Gang has no qualms about joking about each other's age. Their years on this planet have given them that right.
And 69-year-old Bill Ferguson delivered a nice shot at Tornquist.
"We wanted to put candles on his cake this year, but the city wouldn't give us a burn permit," Ferguson said.
From Model-Ts to Mars
Tornquist in his 95 years obviously has seen a number of changes come about in the United States and the world. He's seen the world transition from listening to the radio for entertainment to all the types of viewing options on television or even the home computer.
He saw entertainers such as Tommy Dorsey, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra come and go. He's seen airplanes evolve from simple puddle jumpers to planes that can hit unimaginable records of speed.
But what amazes him the most is space travel.
"The biggest change in America for me is that when I was young, I was learning to drive on a Model-T Ford, but nowadays, they've got them up on Mars," he said.

Yeah, this was a thread here a few weeks back.
The NYT had just done a story, I'm going to guess the same background as your link.
Even after following the chimps for up to 20 years, they are unable to say with certainty that a low calorie diet adds years.
And the chimps on the restricted diet were far less happy, far more aggressive.
That's a life?

Today is the first time in 25 years that Valaria Long truly is home for Thanksgiving.
At 86, she couldn't share many of her memories, but the home where she lived with her husband, Orville, and raised their seven children stands out in her memory like a lantern glows in soft snow.
As the pies were set out at Albright LIFE Center, 901 Memorial Ave., Wednesday for the annual Thanksgiving celebration for the 36 participants who came that day, Long's tear-filled eyes looked past the feast as she thought of her homecoming the next day.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Albright Life staff members serve Thanksgiving Dinner to their program participants Wednesday.
"I will be going back to my house to have Thanksgiving with my family ... for the first time since I left," she said.
Her daughter, Cathy Spotts and granddaughter Cassie Spotts are cooking.
"They're making this a big thing, me going back for the first time," Long said.
While her memory is foggy, she remembers the loves and sorrows the house holds, the big smiles and the hard spills that come with really living, and, of course, all the warm holidays.
When she walks into the house, she knows her favorite part will not be the turkey or the stuffing.
"Just family being together," Long said. "We can have turkey or stuffing any time, but you can't always be all together with family."
Eva Roles, 70, will celebrate Thanksgiving with her husband Robert, their three children, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren at their Muncy home.
She often wishes she could go back in time, to a place in Williamsport where she grew up as one of 13 kids, and Thanksgiving dinner was near a large potbelly stove, on a round table.
The day would start with her mom, Jenny Bartholomew, making bread before anyone else was up.
Her dad, Harry Bartholomew and her brothers would go out turkey hunting - if they didn't get one, there would be no turkey for Thanksgiving, as things were tight. Nonetheless, her mom still would fix a complete meal with a chicken from out back.
The kids would help pluck the feathers, and when it was cooked, it was delicious, Roles said.
"My mother, she was the kind of person who taught us to share everything because there was not much to share," she said. "That's the way we were brought up. We knew what we didn't have, but we were thankful for what we did have."
The kids slept at both ends of the beds in the 3.5-bedroom house.
"I wouldn't trade it for nothing. I wish I could go back in time, to teach my kids and grandkids what life is really all about," she said.
When her mom lost her eyesight, Roles dropped out of school in the 10th grade, and she and her siblings helped take care of her and the house. The kids pulled together for those Thanksgivings, the older girls getting jobs to pay for the food, and made the meals.
"Mom was a wonderful person," she said. She kept ironing, and when Roles would look in, the iron would be at one end, and the shirt at the other. "But she just kept going and going."
Her dad would bring home a treat for each of the kids every payday after work at Darling Valve. They stood hungrily by the door, waiting for the knob to turn, when he would hand them each a pack of nickel wafers.
"I still buy them," Roles said.
For Sharon Galligher, quality, homemade food is essential to Thanksgiving dinner. When she grew up in Loyalsock Township, her parents, Mary and Wilson Galligher, would take her and her three siblings to Grandma Laura Strauss's house for that special day.
Strauss would make her special stuffing - and Galligher is determined to teach her sister Nancy how to make good stuffing this year when Galligher hosts the holiday.
She chuckled as she recalled teaching Nancy how to make the turkey.
"You mean I gotta take its guts out?" her sister asked, to which she responded with a hearty, "Yes!"
To make the stuffing, she mixes Weis' homemade bread, celery, onions, poultry seasoning and turkey broth, and stuffs it in the turkey. Perfection is the golden-brown skin of a perfectly cooked turkey.
Also - absolutely no lumps in the gravy. "My aunt would always tell me a good cook can make gravy with no lumps," Galligher said.
Her sister Linda will make humbleberry, pumpkin and mincemeat pies. Their brother Lee, well, "He's just there to eat!" Galligher exclaimed.
When Edna Shaner, 92, grew up in Hughesville, her parents Amanda and Edward Parker would make a veritable feast for their nine children, with wild turkey, pork roast or chicken from their farm. Homemade heaps of mashed potatoes, filling and gravy would sit near assortments of pies. Then they would play quiet games.
This year, her daughter, Carol Royce is hosting, and the four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will make it feel just like home.

Dr. Asbjornsen, vein specialist and founder of the Vein Healthcare Center, explains why so many pregnant women develop varicose veins-- and suggests ways to treat, or possibly prevent, them.
"Hormone surges are part of the biological process of pregnancy, and varicose veins are sometimes part of that process."
About forty percent of pregnant women will develop varicose veins, according to vein specialist Dr. Cindy Asbjornsen of the Vein Healthcare Center in Maine.
"Hormone surges are part of the biological process of pregnancy, and varicose veins are sometimes part of that process," said Dr. Asbjornsen. "If mothers-to-be pay attention to their vein health, it can go a long way toward treating, or even preventing, a problem that has numerous solutions."
Dr. Asbjornsen suggests a few tips to help decrease or prevent varicose veins during pregnancy:
Wear graduated compression stockings, especially in the first trimester.
Exercise often— even a brisk walk will help circulation and reduce symptoms.
Frequently pump the foot (heel to toe), even if on bed rest.
Avoid tight clothes or high-heeled shoes.
Gain only as much weight as recommended by the obstetrician.
Take a pre-natal vitamin daily.
To better understand how varicose veins happen, here's a quick review of how veins work. Veins carry blood from all the extremities back to the heart. The blood in the legs travels up against gravity, so when the valves in the veins become damaged, blood flows back into the legs to create a "pooling" effect. The hormone progesterone can act as a vasodilator— a hormone that opens or relaxes blood vessels— causing the valves in the veins to stretch significantly, sometimes to the point of damaging them. The result: varicose veins.
The first trimester is an especially important time to think about vein health. Women with known risk factors for venous disease should consider wearing compression stockings throughout the first three months of pregnancy and possibly longer. The most common risk factor is having a family history of venous disease.
Maternity graduated compression stockings are specially designed to fit more snugly at the ankles and calves and less so toward the top. The gradual change in compression helps the weak valves in the veins to circulate the blood more effectively. Pregnancy compression stockings (and body garments) are available with a doctor's prescription. Accurate sizing is critical, so it is best to check with a doctor prior to purchasing any type of compression while pregnant.
The second and third trimester may also carry some risk of developing varicose veins. The volume of blood in a healthy woman increases to about 50% more than before the pregnancy, with the largest increase in the second trimester. With more volume to move, all of the blood vessels are under increased stress. In this final trimester, the uterus continues to expand and put pressure on the veins in the abdominal region. The most damage, however, seems to happen in the first trimester.
Many women find that their varicose veins go away a few months after labor, while others continue to suffer with them. There are many options available to treat varicose veins and typically cause very little pain and have high success rates.
Since 1912, Juzo has been a pioneer of new technologies, whether it's designing a more comfortable garment or incorporating other technological advances such as our FiberSoft™ technology. Our philosophy has always been that medical garments should not inhibit a person's lifestyle. We have led the compression therapy garment industry in creating a high quality product that offers its customers freedom in motion and, in turn, the freedom to maintain their active lifestyle.
Dr. Cindy Asbjornsen is the founder of the Maine Phlebology Association and the Vein Healthcare Center in Maine. Dr. Asbjornsen is certified by the American Board of Phlebology and cares for all levels of venous disease, including spider veins, varicose veins and venous stasis ulcers.

Anyone who watched roller derby at the old Arena or saw their wild games on Channel 48 will recall that the Philadelphia Warriors had a thirst for mayhem.
"I had three bodyguards whenever I came to Philadelphia," said Gootch Gautieri, a former player and official with the New York Bombers. "One time, I was in a grudge-match race against Ruberta Mitchell, and an idiot fan jumped on the track and attacked me. I kicked him in the face with my skates and put him in the hospital. He had no business assaulting me."

Welcome to the continuation of my TR on the journey to Oman.
You may read about the flights that got me to HAM from CCS here. Let me pick it up from there.
After catching up with my cousins in Hamburg, replenishing their stock of P.A.N. cornmeal for arepas, empanadas, and bollos pelones and a restful night of sleep it was time to continue my trip to Oman.
The tour operator allowed us travelers to select between Emirates and Oman Air for the flights from Germany to Muscat. Inspired by PlaneHunter's report on Oman Air to MCT ex MUC in Y and William/Knightsofmalta's report ex ZRH in J, I was very eager to try out WY and the choice of the airline with the wisp of incense on the tail over the one with the green-white-black-red colored wedge was an easy one.
Even though EK flies out of HAM, WY doesn't. So how do I get to my Oman Air flight? Enter the Deutsche Bahn: the price of the tour I booked also included free first class railway tickets to/from FRA or MUC from any city in Germany and back after the journey.
My rail/fly route of today then:
Map generated by GreatCircle Mapper – copyright © Karl L. Swartz
I had intended to leave my Hamburg 'home base' at 10 in the morning and take the bus to the main railway station in time for the 10:58 departure to Frankfurt airport station. That would have me arriving at FRA at around 15:00 and leave me enough time for a short spotting session on the observation deck of Terminal 2. Unfortunately several telephone calls and e-mails regarding a fraud with my credit card back in Venezuela held me up and in the end I was only able to take the 12:02 train to Frankfurt/Main main station.
Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (I miss the large clock in the hall):
I hopped aboard the train through the closest door and worked my way to the first class wagons inside. I had not made seat reservations expecting the train not to be full, much less so in 1. Klasse, and was proven right. There were plenty of unoccupied and unreserved seats to choose from. I settled into one of them, made myself comfortable and enjoyed the ride on ICE in F.
Crossing the bridges over the River Elbe:
From a rainy, windy grey murk and 9°C in Hamburg the weather kept improving the farther south we got. After Kassel it was all bright sunshine and a lot warmer. A T/A, or 'train attendant', would pass regularly through the cars offering coffee, cake and newspapers for purchase. Mini packs of gummi bears were offered free of charge. The train, however, did not do honor to its 'Express' title today and managed to build up a delay of over an hour by the time we reached Frankfurt. Of course, at this speed…
…and with several unscheduled stops along the way you can't expect it to be on time. A few rows ahead of me a Swiss couple traveling all the way from Hamburg to Zurich was not happy at all. With my departure an hour later than planned and the train taking an hour longer than scheduled I could forget my spotting session at FRA. Me not happy at all either!
Eventually we reached Frankfurt/Main main station after 4 p.m.:
This train did not go via the airport so I had to get off and continue the trek on a suburban train. No big deal as these run quite frequently. But by the time I reached the airport, made my way from the railway station through Terminal 1, onto the AirLink to Terminal 2 and then to the entrance of the visitors terrace by the McD's the observation deck was already closed. Shoot!
Well, now I had an hour's time until the check-in counters opened. No OLCI possible on this group fare. Let's check the FIDS:
My flight seems to be on time but what happened to BA that day? Two flights cancelled and a third one delayed:
The check-in desks indeed opened at 19:00 as promised and shortly afterwards I joined the queue to get my boarding pass and leave the bag. This flight seems to gain popularity with travelers who connect through MCT because I saw lots of people traveling on to other destinations such as KTM, MLE, BKK, ZNZ and so forth. Good for WY.
Fortunately by the time it was my turn to check in there were still window seats available in the area where I wished to be seated – way back.
Now with my boarding pass in hand there was still a lot of time to kill until the scheduled departure at 22:00 so I went to inspect every possible corner of Terminal 2, which I hadn't been to before. People watching was also a good pastime with LA, QF, EK, BA and KC flights being checked in all around me.
Eventually I decided to go airside. Both passport control and security check went very smooth but it turned out that going airside too early is not a good idea in Terminal 2 at FRA. All of a sudden I and many other passengers were stuck in the corridor leading to gates E5 to E8, without access to the actual gate area/holding pen for our flight (which wasn't open yet). The other gates were closed and there was no possibility to go back landside again. The corridor doesn't provide enough seats for a full planeload of people. Whoever got hold of one of the few coveted seats would not dare to get up and loose it…
At around 20:45 the WY ground staff showed up and opened the access to gate E8. A first glimpse at our plane tonight: A330-200 A40-DC:
This particular flight held a few firsts for me: first time flying out of Terminal 2 at FRA, first time on Oman Air and even first time on an A330. Although the scheduled equipment was an A330-300, I was more than glad to take the -200 as well.
October 2012
Airline: Oman Air
Flight: WY114
STD/ATD: 22:00/21:45 (pushback)
Route: FRA-MCT
Registration: A40-DC
Aircraft: A330-200
Seat: 41K
Boarding commenced at 21:15 and was called by row numbers. I spotted only a handful of passengers traveling in J, all the rest were going in Y. The atmosphere upon boarding was very friendly, the F/A's had placed themselves strategically in each of the cabins to greet the passengers. The colors on the upholstery of the seats reflect the many different hues one may see in the Jabal Akhdar mountain range – or at least that's what it seemed to me after having been there.
Take-off was from runway 07C right on schedule at 22:00. Before and during take-off the nose camera was switched on and its image shown on the main screens. Unfortunately the airshow was not available on the PTV screens. After the release ping the crew sprung into action and started their service by distributing menu cards and amenity kits. What a pleasant surprise in Y!
The amenity kit contained the usual suspects: a pair of socks and eyeshades, both in WY's trademark turquoise color, earplugs and toothbrush and paste.
Upon opening the menu I was even more surprised by the offerings than I was by the fact of simply getting one in Y: there were three entrée options to choose from for dinner.
Then hot towels were handed out and while we tried to make up our minds about which meal to select for dinner, Luz, the Philippine F/A taking care of my section of the cabin, came around with beverages and a snack. I chose orange juice to go with the nut and dried fruit mix.
Being seated this far back I was prepared to hear that my food selection was unfortunately not available anymore but Luz gladly placed a tray with my choice of chicken on my table.
Believe me, the food was as good as it looked, from the salmon appetizer all the way through to the fruit crumble cake. But plastic cutlery?
Once the cabin was cleared of dinner service items I watched a few short TV features and then drifted away into the next night of sit-up sleep. Morpheus had me in his grip for a good three hours but eventually I woke up from the general commotion created in the cabin by the lights going on signalizing that the night was officially over.
In the meantime the F/A's had placed a bottle of water in each seatback (this pic can also double as legroom shot – note the generous pitch):
About 1:30 prior to arrival breakfast was served. Aaah, a much needed caffeine fix!
The idea of a pizza quattro formaggi for breakfast may seem a bit odd, but it actually tasted very good. Don't let the gooey streaks on the lid of the box mislead you.
While I was munching on my pizza we overflew Dubai:
Eventually it dawned not only within the cabin but outside as well…
…and soon thereafter we commenced our descent into MCT. Turning final for rwy 26:
Landing was at 6:35, ten minutes ahead of schedule. After a short taxi we reached our parking position and sadly this flight was over. I was in Oman!
Buses were waiting for the passengers at the bottom of the airstairs to take them to the terminal building. Once there the first order of business was to get a visa upon arrival. Being seated way back in the plane had me standing close to the buses' door and therefore I was amongst the first in line for the visa (a typical case of 'the last ones shall be first'). After about 10 minutes in line it was my turn. The visa officer had a very close look at my passport because all the ones he had seen so far this morning were German and mine was not. They don't seem to get that many Venezuelans in Oman… Visa fee paid and receipt in hand it was over to the immigration officer who stamped me in. Now I had really arrived in Muscat!
One after another the members of our travel group came trickling out of the baggage claim hall and gathered behind the Omani holding the sign of our tour operator. By the time the last ones arrived, the first ones had already changed some money at the forex office. The exploration of the land could begin.
After reading several TR's on Oman Air I had very high expectations of my flight with them – and they were all fulfilled. The cabin crew members were all very polite but a bit on the reserved side. The service, however, was outstanding. I definitely would (and did!) fly them again. The only flaws were the non-functioning airshow and the plastic cutlery with the meals. But I got over them.
As subjective as this may be, it also felt especially good flying on an airline with such an elegant livery – certainly one of the more beautiful ones out there
Thanks for reading this far. Feedback will be very much appreciated, as always.
Coming up: WY domestic!.

Not so merry christmasJournal Entry: Fri Dec 21, 2012, 3:40 PM
It's bad enough my dad got fired from his job and I won't be getting any presents this year but for someone like Alex Hirsch to block me on twitter days before Christmas. After all these months of supporting him and his cartoon and drawing and watching it and for him to just throw me away like that. I mean who blocks their fans when they don't even know them? Not once have I ever said anything bad to Alex on twitter and I never will. People will just say "Oh he blocked you no big deal." Yeah it is it made me CRY so you tell me. I'll always support Alex and if he's reading this I want him to know that if it was by accident I forgive him. But yeah my Christmas is kinda ruint for me so please don't try to make it better cause nothing will.

hmm this is really odd since you were blocked by naomi, seth, and probably more. i would contact a staff member of twitter via email about it. your account could have been compromised or something.
Depression hits some times but it just goes away because some times good stuff will come alright. Even if we fall some times, we have to get back up to move on with our lives. Alway's.
Well maybe his account was hacked. My bro's FB got hacked and blocked his girlfriend. She broke up with him and he told her what happened so they are back together. I have a feeling it was a hack.
He probably did do it on purpose. ;_: And I have no idea, he didn't say.
I wish there was a way that I can help out. It sucks when something bad happens to a family remember. And when you support someone and they just treat you badly. I really hope it was all just a misunderstanding. You are clearly one of his biggest fans, and hopefully he'll see that. Other than that, try to smile. You have so many amazing friends that want you to be happy.
How could he block you?! Maybe it was a mistake! I really think it could be! Don't give up! In the end, everything will always come together! (You could always get double presents next year )
Remember, I'll always be here for you!
Remember, I'll always be here for you!
Thank you. <3 And I'm talking with him on my 2nd twitter so crosses fingers.
man I feel bad for you if I knew you could give you some presents well I hope the rest of your christmas is good
How could he block you!! He has no right. You weren't harassing him!!! I'm sorry about your dad and I wish I could help, Can I draw something for you?? I know how much you love gravity falls so maybe some fanart I wanna help
Thank you so much. And well I have a second twitter and we're talking about it through DM since he followed me on it.
I cant believe he blocked you! I really hope it was by accident because I cannot see any reason why he would do that after you have been so nice and supportive his his work. I'm sorry about your Christmas!! I'm sorry that you are not getting presents and I know that is so sad for you I understand but in hard times it is important to stay positive and you can still have a good Christmas.
don't worry AJ, everything will be just fine.
It may not be much. But I am going to draw you something for Christmas.
for you
It could be possible Alex's Twitter was hacked but that's only a guess but still your a great friend to me and always will and i'll always be your friend no matter what
It could be possible Alex's Twitter was hacked but that's only a guess but still your a great friend to me and always will and i'll always be your friend no matter what
