On the international front, Sears has not ventured far from home.
Target Corp., Minneapolis, MINN.
2001 Sales: $39.9 billion

2001 Sales: $37.9 billion
2000 Sales: $36.8 billion

DETROIT — In new developments announced last week, Detroit Public Schools (DPS) will not follow through with a plan to lay off 159 special-needs bus attendants.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the move would have left only 49 attendants on the job. District officials reportedly reversed their decision after numerous calls from parents and special-education advocates, who expressed concern that student safety would have been compromised without attendants on the buses.
Steve Wasko, a DPS spokesman, confirmed to the Detroit Free Press that the bus attendants would not be laid off and said that Robert Bobb, the district's emergency financial manager, first announced the change during a Detroit Board of Education meeting held late last week.
Wasko went on to tell the Detroit Free Press that the intent from the beginning "was to ensure that services would be fully provided to any child with special needs who required assistance while being transported" and that although there were not written records that required bus attendants for many of the students "our further investigation made it clear that the services should continue."

Strong engines give good economy and performance, but the Seat Ibiza is starting to show its age. …
The Mazda 6 is a well-rounded and appealing family car, but while it used to be one of the best, it has now been left behind a little by newer rivals.
The Mazda 6 is offered with two engines, each in two states of tune. The 2.0-litre petrol comes with either 143bhp or 163bhp, both with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard (the lower-powered engine is also available with a six-speed automatic). Neither has much torque, so both need to be worked hard. The 2.2-litre diesel makes more sense; it's available with 148bhp or 173bhp, but it's the lesser of the two states of tune that impresses most – it's quick enough and is remarkably flexible.
The 6's suspension is focused on precision. Body control is well contained as a result and there's plenty of grip, but the steering is light and frustratingly vague around the straight-ahead. More of a problem, though, is ride comfort. Even on fairly small 17-inch wheels there's a decidedly firm edge at low speeds, so you feel even the tiniest bumps through your backside. Things don't improve much at high speed, either, because there's still far too much patter on the motorway.
All engines are refined companions when you get up to motorway speeds. However, Mazda has 'engineered in' what is considers to be an appealing noise when the engines are pushed hard; in our experience, that just means you hear too much from them when you're trying to get a move on. On the plus side, you feel very little engine vibration through the seats or steering wheel. Wind and road noise aren't much of an issue, although neither is quite as well suppressed as in an equivalent Ford Mondeo.

OTTAWA - No time is a good time, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said.
For now, the Flyers wait. Yesterday at noon, the Flyers set a 24-hour timer on their watch that will let them know at noon today whether goaltender Michael Leighton is still a part of their organization.
The Flyers placed Leighton on re-entry waivers yesterday, opening him up to a claim from 29 other NHL teams that can nab him at half-price for next season, with the Flyers paying the other half of his $1.6 million salary.

The Far Side - Gary Larson
If anyone can consistently make me laugh, its Gary Larson, through his Far Side cartoons. Published in syndicated newspapers for fourteen years, until 1995, Larson's "The Far Side " is still found on greeting cards, calendars and in books. His wry, insightful sense of humor appeals to many. A great number of people were disappointed when Larson decided to retire from regular publishing, although his work lives on. Larson enjoys a huge fan base of people who love his jokes.

Bute would welcome Taylor
This was posted at *********.ca
I personally really like this matchup. I would have Bute winning by semi-close design or late stopage. If it goes to the cards, it will look somthing like this, 116-112 twice, and 117-111. What are all of your thoughts?

Taylor should fight a Berrio or a Steiglitz, a decent opponent, but someone that Taylor can prove that he can still take heads off against. Bute is a tough guy and could be a spolier for Taylor's future plans. Slick, slick boxer who can bang.

I really like that fight. But yes, Bute can BANG. The fight could be huge though. A sell out at the Bell Centre for sure (where the Montreal Canadians play). Would be on HBO Championship Boxing or atleast BAD. Hell put Ngoudjo or Diaconu on the undercard.

Taylor would be el stupido to take a fight with Bute.. Yeah, the southpaw version of Pavlik, that'll be way easier bro
Fight friggin' Trinidad at 168. Earn you some bucks, get your confidence back, then maybe fight Kess (who, after the JoeC fight, is less of a KO-producer than Bute IMO) for a belt..

D'Angelo's third album, 'Black Messiah,' is here nearly 15 years after the release of 'Voodoo.' Find out if the singer's project is worthy of your time.
After a 15-year hiatus, D'Angelo is finally back with a new album, 'Black Messiah.' To the delight of fans, the project is available for streaming.
If you haven't heard by now, D'Angelo will be releasing his new album 'Black Messiah,' his first full-length studio effort in 14 years. More details about the project has surfaced, including the official tracklisting.
After 14 years of relative obscurity, D'Angelo delivered his first song, 'Sugah Daddy,' on Sunday (Dec. 14). Fans will be happy to hear that his trademark falsetto and soulful vibe hasn't rusted by his years of idleness.
If you have been patiently waiting for D'Angelo to release a follow-up to his incredible 2000 album, 'Voodoo,' you're in luck, because his next release, 'Black Messiah,' is on its way.
We've gathered 10 of the more extreme body changes that range from rappers losing weight to a particular red carpet regular who's turned her brown eyes into a piercing ice cold color. Find out who makes the list in 10 Extreme Body Transformations.
D'Angelo promised he'd be releasing a new album to follow-up 2000's 'Voodoo,' and while we're still waiting, the neo-soul crooner has announced that he will be hitting the road in 2015.
Soul crooner D'Angelo rose to fame in the mid-90s with his soulful voice and his muscular physique that drove the ladies crazy. If you need proof, watch his suggestive 'Untitled (How Does It Feel)?' video. The 40-year-old crooner still has the velvety voice but he's certainly has packed on the pounds.
There are more than a few lauded singers with stage names so normal that you'd be surprised to find out it was all for show.
Fans have been waiting patiently for D'Angelo's new album to arrive for years. But the singer's manager insists that his new LP will be released in 2014.

very nice flat in the center of helsinki, everything in a walking distance, jarmo introduced us to his flat and gave us helpful advices for where to go for...shopping, dinner...he was tel. reachable and we felt warmely welcome;
we will come agiain...
This is a lovely spacious apartment which had everything we could have needed. The beds were very comfortable, there was an excellent shower and access to a swimming pol and sauna. Jarmo was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location was excellent. There was no photograph on the website of the second bedroom which we were slightly concerned about before we arrived but it was a lovely bright and spacious room as were all the rooms. We chose to have a bed in the library, again another bright and spacious room. We were staying in Helsinki for our son's wedding. It was so nice to have a 'home from home' where we could stay together as a family. We would highly recommend this apartment.

The Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat headline a series of games on Christmas Day that couldn't get any better to start the NBA season.
Looking at the various schedules, though, there are some teams that have tougher schedules than others.
In the NBA scheduling is a little more complicated than just how good your opponents are. The reason for that is that everyone plays everyone. In fact, last year the "easiest" schedule belonged to the Bulls, while the Timberwolves had the toughest. Once you account for the fact that the Wolves "had to" play the Bulls while the Bulls "got to" play the Wolves twice, the Wolves' opponents averaged .36 wins more than the Bulls.
It's a difference, but it's hardly dramatic.
Other factors play into the scheduling as well. When do you play your hardest games? There's a strong correlation between winning and losing and the back end of back-to-back games and how rested your opponent is.
Even if you are playing an inferior team, if it's the back end of a back-to-back at the end of a long road trip while your opponent is playing on three days' rest at home, it's a tough schedule.
This year's scheduling has all kinds of quirks that need to be accounted for. Who you are playing, when you are playing them and where you are playing them all need to be accounted for.

Guide prices (per person, per cruise week) correspond to Style/Quality levels and are within the very approximate ranges $5,500-$8,000 (Grande Luxe), $4,000-$5,500 (Excellence), $2,000-$5,000 (Premier) and below $2,000 (Simplicity).

I've seen this asked before, but I don't think there was an answer.
Anyway, I've got a few planes on FS2002 that I can't slew. Anytime I slew the plane (ala pushback) the plane goes full thrust as soon as I comeback to reality.
Is there anyway I can stop this from happening?

always hide them deep in your backpack or in your bra or something.
to cut down on food prices, I just find the biggest plate and eat half for lunch and wrap the other half up for dinner. burritos work well for this. they're usually between 7-9 dollars.
the pizza and garlic fries are the best food at camp though, imo.

4. HowAboutWe
Getting Started On HowAboutWe
Started in 2010 by best friends Aaron Schildkrout and Brian Schecter, HowAboutWe is a dating website that places the emphasis on the actual date. The site asks the question for you: "How about we…" and you fill in the blank with an idea for a date. The benefits are that you get offline and start interacting face-to-face (the moment of truth) more quickly, and encourages more interesting scenarios than your average drinks-at-bar date. The site has been around since 2010, is available in 15 languages across 30 countries and currently has over one million users. In a recent AMA on Reddit, Schildkrout explained that he and Schecter started the site after feeling disillusioned by the current online dating options: "It was weird. The whole point of dating sites was to get people to go on first dates. But none of the existing sites did anything to make the actual date happen. So we flipped the script on online dating. We put the date first... If there's chemistry -- great. If there's not -- at least you did something fun and had an adventure."
Learn more at HowAboutWe.com
The HowAboutWe Experience
Rather than filling out a profile, users get to express their personality through the activity they choose for a first date. In a recent New York Times article, Schecter and Schildkrout explained that the app is also revealing a "collective dating unconscious," meaning that certain types of dates trend at certain times in certain areas.
Unique and fun to use, HowAboutWe caters towards people who are creative, adventurous and looking to meet someone new right away.
Best feature: The HowAboutWe concept is equally innovative and an easy ice breaker between matches.
Biggest drawback: With more and more free dating sites and mobile apps popping up, it's hard to justify paying for a full HowAboutWe membership.
Memberships & Pricing
Free to create a profile, browse profiles and dates, and post dates. Paying for membership allows you to send and receive unlimited messages, among other things. Memberships run from $8.99 per month to $34.99 per month, depending on what options you choose.Learn more at HowAboutWe.com

Diving in Tioman
Tioman is well-recognized as one of the world's top dive destinations,
with its coastal waters having a wealth of superb
dive sites hidden within.
Marine Life Highlights in Tioman
Harlequin Sweetlips
Diving in Tioman
Tioman Islands off the coastal town of Mersing have progressively garnered fame from divers and snorkelers looking for a short get away from the chaotic swing of city life.
Its accessibility from Singapore affords it quite a lot of visits with the bulk of it happening during the weekend. A collection of resorts, convenience stores, souvenir shops and dive centres peppered the long stretch of Tioman beaches proffering an array of varying choices for the travellers. Mostly situated amidst a Kampong or local village, Tioman beaches present a nice fusion of community life and tourist activities.
Tourists, both local and international, have been since frequented this island for quite a few advantages over the other options for diving and snorkelling that the region has to offer. From the bustling city of Singapore, Tioman is the nearest destination to do diving, snorkelling and other similar beach activities. The visibility, underwater condition and dive sites are worthy to note of because Tioman Islands are fairly versatile to cater for beginners through experienced divers alike.
Greater popularity was gained by the island as dive centres based in Singapore and nearby towns do their dive courses certification every weekend in Tioman. With the growing demand of this industry, Tioman has responded quite well with the provision of resort accommodations and services to cater to customers with backpacker to higher end requirements.
The best time to dive in Tioman would be from March to October. Peninsular Malaysia which includes Tioman Islands experiences monsoon during November to February. Diving and other similar activities in the islands halt around this time. With considerable volume of tourist influx when diving season opens, it is highly encouraged to make an early booking to get spaces and strike a better deal.
Getting to Tioman from Singapore has the options to travel by land and ferry, by air and by liveaboard. It takes 3 – 4 hours drive from Singapore to Mersing Jetty in Johor Bahru. There are public utility buses that travel daily to Mersing however schedule of departure is subject to changes. It is highly important to take note of the possible changes on the departure timing as ferry schedule going to Tioman has to be considered. Ferry service to Tioman Islands from Mersing Jetty is provided by Blue Water Express. They have few trips daily which are likewise subject to changes. From Mersing, the ferry sails for about 2-2.5 hours to Tioman with stops to the following areas: Genting, Paya, Tekek, ABC and Salang.
To facilitate a smooth and convenient journey to Tioman, Singapore based dive centres usually offer an all-in weekend dive package which includes all the related transportation costs. This proves to be remarkably cost effective and comfortable for travelers as coach from Singapore to Mersing Jetty and ferry from Mersing Jetty to Tioman Islands are both chartered. It saves all the trouble of possibly missing the connection to the island as well as the dive itinerary for the day.
Berjaya Air flies to Tioman on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. They fly only once per day so trip itinerary must be planned carefully especially with reference to surface time interval.
The best option to go to Tioman would be via liveaboard. The trip saves all the hassles of land travelling, queuing at the immigration and carrying around of heavy dive gear. Trip itinerary starts on Friday early in the evening. Liveaboard sails overnight to Tioman with dive starting at Renggis area. Diving usually ends around 1300 on Sunday to head back to Singapore with expected time of arrival at around 2200.

Nine years later, the sharp edges of grief are somewhat blunted and the Ground Zero pile replaced by the frenetic activity of rebuilding.
Families will gather Saturday morning across the street from where their loved ones perished on Sept. 11, 2001. As they do every year, they will mark with silence the moments the towers fell. They will listen as 2,752 names are read.
Most Popular
Yet two blocks away, a roiling political battle that has gone international as the anniversary approached will continue to unfold Saturday, with competing sides rallying near the site of a proposed mosque and community center. Some will rail at the insult, they say, of placing a mosque so close to what they consider the hallowed ground where America lost so many people to terrorists. Others will protest with equal fervor that the mosque must be built there, in an America that stands on an unshakable principle of religious freedom. And 2,000 miles away, a Florida pastor may or may not make good on his pledge to burn a Quran to mark the anniversary.
Despite the political debate, many believe there is reason for hope on this ninth anniversary. After delays and disagreements, Freedom Tower is rising. Its 36-story steel skeleton will eventually grow to 106 stories and is set to open in 2013. The memorial at the site will open on the 10th anniversary, and the museum on Sept. 11, 2012. To honor that progress, construction workers, engineers and architects involved in the building of the memorial and museum will join family members in reading the names of the lost Saturday.
One of the thousands of construction workers who built the original South Tower recalled the majesty of the view from the 110th-floor observation deck as it rose. And while he mourns the buildings' destruction, he admires what is being rebuilt. "It sure looks beautiful what they're doing so far," said John Gunther, 89, who never thought he would outlive the Twin Towers.
-Newsday Staff
Working on Twin Towers 'high point' for carpenter
IN the early 1970s, before the upper floors of the World Trade Center's South Tower were even finished, John Gunther of Seaford would go up to the roof deck above the 110th floor and with the wind streaming hard and fast around him, look down at the world.
"I'd stand there with the railing up to my waist," Gunther recalled this week, almost 40 years after he worked as a union carpenter on those upper floors. "It was quite a sight to stand there like that. It was a thrill."
So when he saw the television images of the collapsing towers nine years ago Saturday, he mourned not only the loss of life, but the landmark buildings where he labored and which he thought would outlive him - gone in an instant.
"Look at the Empire State Building, as old as it is, it's beautiful to look at," said Gunther, now 89. "I'd hoped the building I worked on would have been there even after the Empire State Building."
Gunther was among the thousands of men who worked on the World Trade Center site over the years. He installed hundreds of doors, frames and locks there. "You could say the doors were just a little part of the building, but it was a lot of work that I did . . . that was gone with the buildings," he said. "You would think that would last my lifetime and many years after that, but it didn't happen."
Nine years after the attacks, the new buildings at the site are finally emerging into the city skyline. For this year's remembrance ceremony Saturday, construction workers, engineers and architects laboring on the National September 11 Memorial and Museum will participate in the reading of the names of those who died in the attacks.

Next Act gives wings, radio style to 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Imagine a Milwaukee without its musicians and dancers, its singers and actors, its highly reputed symphony and its world-class theater. It would look a lot more like Pottersville, that mean-spirited burg of cheap thrills and third-class entertainment that greets George Bailey before his great awakening.
Such were my thoughts Friday night as six veteran Milwaukee-based actors tugged at my heartstrings for the second straight year, in Next Act Theatre's reprise of "It's a Wonderful Life," as transformed by Mary MacDonald Kerr into a 1957 radio play, coming straight to us from the studio of Milwaukee's very own WNAT. »Read Full Article(1)

WASHINGTON Gov. Christie continued Tuesday to make his pitch for pension reform and renewal of a cap on raises for public workers, sounding alarms about the state's economic future in a speech at a New Jersey Chamber of Commerce dinner.
Addressing business leaders, lawmakers, and lobbyists at the chamber's annual "Walk to Washington" event, Christie said the state was doing better than it was four years ago.
But that progress will be derailed, the Republican governor said, if the Democrats who control the Legislature do not agree to make further changes to the state's pension system and continue a 2 percent cap on raises for police and firefighters.

Founded in 2004 by Dr. Mark DeYmaz and Dr. George Yancey.
MissionMosaix is a relational network of local church pastors and planters, denominational, network, and ministry leaders, educators and researchers, alike, that exists to establish healthy multi-ethnic and economically diverse churches for the sake of the gospel throughout North America and beyond.
While authentic community within a multi-ethnic church cannot be measured by quantitative analysis alone, Mosaix has long-promoted the goal of seeing 20% of local churches achieve 20% diversity by 2020. More recently, Mosaix has established a coalition involving more than 25 networks and denominations to advance the goal of planting or transitioning (from homogeneity) 1,000 new multi-ethnic churches in the next ten years (2015 - 2025).
Developmental Strategy
Mosaix promotes the multi-ethnic vision by casting vision, connecting leaders of like-mind, regional and national conferencing, coaching church planters and pastors of existing homogeneous churches pursuing transition, and curriculum/resources development.
While government and educational programs, together with the efforts of countless individuals, groups and agencies, have long-sought to eliminate prejudice and the disparaging consequences of institutional racism still deeply imbedded within our society, it is time to recognize that systemic change cannot be achieved apart from the establishment of local churches that intentionally and joyfully reflect the passion of Christ for all people of the world.* For it is not the institutions of government nor of education throughout America that have been called by God to the task, but rather it is the local church, the bride of Christ … we His people (John 17:1-3, 20-23; Acts 11:19-26, 13:1, 16ff.; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 4:1-6; Revelation 5:9-10).
According to research, more than 86% of all churches in the United States are currently segregated, with more than 80% of their membership representing a single race or ethnic group. The problem is this: an increasingly diverse and cynical society, we are concerned that people are no longer finding credible the message of God's love for all people as preached from segregated pulpits and pews.
Yet the growing fascination with the potential for multi-ethnic local churches throughout America and beyond must not be focused on racial reconciliation. Rather, multi-ethnic church planters and reformers must be focused fundamentally on reconciling men and women to God through faith in Jesus Christ and, consequently then, on reconciling local congregations with the pattern of the New Testament local church; in and through which men and women of diverse background walked, worked, and worshipped God together as one.
Concerning the movement of American Christianity towards racial reconciliation in the 1990′s, author Chris Rice wrote the following profound words:
"Yes, deep reconciliation will produce justice, and new relationships between the races. Yes this will lead Christians to become a bright light in the public square. But I have become convinced that God is not very interested in the church healing the race problem. I believe it is more true that God is using race to heal the church." (Chris Rice and Spencer Perkins: More Than Equals (Inter Varsity Press, 1993, 2000; p. 261).
For a more fundamental explanation of the biblical mandate and core commitments of the multi-ethnic church, click here.
Historical Perspective and Timeline re. the Multi-ethnic Church Movement
On January 15, 2015, Christianity Today published an article on its blog, Gleanings, entitled, "Sunday Morning Segregation: Most Worshippers Feel Their Church Has Enough Diversity." The article cited recent findings of a study of church segregation by Nashville-based LifeWay Research. Several days later, my friend, Ed Stetzer, invited me to comment via a guest post on his blog, The Exchange. On January 22, then, I did so by providing a condensed timeline and historical perspective tracing the development of the Movement from the 1940s.
Now we need your help to expand the record for further clarification and accuracy.

Longtime 'SNL' Announcer Don Pardo Dies
NEW YORK (AP) -- Few would recognize his face, but most would know his voice: that booming baritone that for nearly four decades would introduce the lineups on "Saturday Night Live."
Don Pardo, the durable television and radio announcer whose resonant voice-over style was widely imitated and became the standard in the field, died Monday in Arizona at the age of 96.
Pardo — a handsome man with a strong chin and confident smile that were overshadowed by his majestic delivery — graced newscasts, game shows and TV programs for more than 60 years. During the original version of "Jeopardy!," his answers to the question, "Tell `em what they've won, Don Pardo," became a memorable part of the program.
And he was an integral part of "Saturday Night Live" for heralding the cast's names to kick off each show, which led former cast member Jimmy Fallon to comment later, "Nothing is like the moment when Don Pardo says your name." Pardo continued at "SNL" through the end of last season, when he performed the introductions on the finale in May.
His was no ordinary voice and he guarded it closely, with cough drops always at the ready.
"My voice is my Achilles' heel," Pardo said in a 1985 interview with The Associated Press. "When I get sick, it's always my voice."
Dominick George Pardo was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up in Norwich, Connecticut.
One of his first jobs was that of ticket-taker at a local movie theater; even then, his voice was commanding.
"I'd go out there with a cape and say: `Standing room only in the mezzanine. Immediate seating in the balcony.'"
His father, Dominick, owned a small bakery and had wanted his son to join the business. But Pardo followed his own dream and, after graduating from Boston's Emerson College in 1942, began his vocal career at radio station WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island.
Two years later, he met a supervisor at NBC who hired the young Pardo immediately upon hearing his voice. He moved to NBC's New York affiliate, and never left the network.
Pardo made his mark right away, reading news dispatches on the radio filed from the front lines during World War II. After the war, he became an announcer for such shows as the "Arthur Murray Party," `'Colgate Comedy Hour" and "Your Show of Shows."
In 1954, he was brought in to announce "Winner Takes All," beginning a long run in game shows. His voice was heard on the "The Price is Right" in its early years, and he was the announcer on the original "Jeopardy!" (1964-75), hosted by Art Fleming.
Then in 1975, NBC launched "Saturday Night Live" with Pardo as its announcer, introducing him to a new generation of viewers with a voice as magnificent as ever — although, on opening night, he botched one of the credits. Instead of saying "The Not Ready for Prime Time Players," Pardo introduced the show's new comedy troupe as "The Not for Ready Prime Time Players." But with a voice like his, any name sounded impressive.
Aside from Season 7, when he was displaced, Pardo remained the "SNL" announcer for decades.
He also introduced sportscaster Len Berman's "Spanning the World" compilations of funny sports moments, a regular feature on the "Today" show. ("Tune in next time ... if there IS a next time.")
In between working on all these shows, Pardo often spent several hours a day in an NBC sound studio, letting viewers know before each break to a commercial that the last program was brought to them by a certain advertiser. As such, he was one of the last network "booth announcers" working a regular daily shift, a classic broadcasting duty that fell prey to the modern age of easily pre-recorded messages.
And every weekday afternoon for several years in the 1980s, Pardo would quickly clad himself in a tie and blazer to step on camera long enough to announce the local New York station's "Live at Five" newscast — although Pardo's vocal alchemy rendered it as "Liiiiiiive at Fiiiiiive!"
Pardo retired from NBC in 2004.
"But (executive producer) Lorne Michaels called me soon after and asked if I would continue for three more weeks, so I did," Pardo told the AP in 2010. "Then he called and asked if I would do five more, and so on. I never really left."
For several years, Pardo commuted from Tucson each week the show aired. He arrived to open the show in Rockefeller Center's fabled Studio 8H, just as he had always done, then caught a returning flight. At the end of the show on Feb. 23, 2008, he was brought on camera to blow out the candles of a birthday cake in celebration of his 90th birthday.

Interested In Fundraising With Custom T-Shirts? Start Your Own Campaign
Izzy and I need your help. We have been planning a cross country trip for a while and are nearing our goal. We want to travel across country in our RV and meet many of our friends along the way.

Love hearing about Josh's adventures.
