Airbus delivers the A380 to Air France for introduction on its Paris-New York route
Air France joined the growing list of A380 airlines by receiving its initial aircraft today, positioning this carrier for a November introduction of the first Europe-North America service with Airbus' 21st century flagship jetliner.
The milestone A380 was provided during a mid-morning ceremony at Airbus' Hamburg, Germany delivery centre, which was followed by the aircraft's afternoon departure with invited guests to Air France's primary hub facility at Paris' Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
It was the 20th A380 delivered by Airbus, joining others that have been placed in global service by Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Qantas.
"I am sure that Air France will have great success with this first new aircraft, which will not remain alone in its fleet for long," said Airbus President and CEO Tom Enders during the delivery event. "We have the next two members of your A380 family just a few meters from here in Hamburg; while there are another two aircraft on our final assembly line in Toulouse."
Air France will inaugurate A380 operations on one of the world's most important long-range trips - the prestigious Paris-New York route - which will link the airline's Charles de Gaulle hub facility with John F. Kennedy International Airport.
"The A380 is exactly adapted for this type of network, as our goal is to further develop routes with high traffic volume," explained Air France Chief Executive Officer Pierre-Henri Gourgeon.

Extended cranking problem .
Had it since day 1 . If you simply crank the car when when the engine is cold it would take a good 5 to 6 seconds . I could get it to start by cranking it for a couple of seconds and then stop and let it sit for 5 to 7 seconds . It would usually fire up in a couple of seconds when retried . Took the car to the dealer on July 14th for the second time with this problem and it's been there ever since . I am driving a 2015 Forester loaner thank you very much .
On the first visit they could not get it to flash a code but experienced it . Their best guess was a software issue and started a case code . They couldn't fix it . This was June 30th and I had just bought the car on the 19th . The day before I took it in for the second time it wouldn't fire . I could crank it till the battery and or starter failed , no fire . I turn it off , lock it up and go back into the house for about 5 minutes . Figuring out my best course of action to get my errands run .
What the heck I get back in the car and give it my tried and trued crank , wait and crank again and it fires up . It then idles at around 1,800 for more than 5 minutes . Seems a bit long for me so I take it in the next day . I relayed the situation to the tech about the long and high idle and he felt it was normal .
I had already contacted Subaru NA 5 days before I took it back in so they were/are aware and involved . Some Southeast Tech specialist checked it out and gave the go ahead to replace the ECM . Pretty long wait for parts on a new model . The ECM was ordered on July 18th and got here on the 28th . Sooo , there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel right ?!
They got it installed and buttoned up on Tues. the 29th . Crank it and it has the same problem . They don't know what to do and say the ball is back in Subaru's court .
What the heck is wrong with this car ? In my experience with it it seems like fuel starvation . They say it's software related . Well the ECM didn't work so how about trying a new fuel pump ? If it was software related wouldn't all the 2015's have the same problem ?
Anyone have some ideas please

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/566,927, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,626,224 issued May 6, 1997 in the names of Stewart F. Clark and K. Wade Karren for EYEGLASS CONTAINER. For purposes of disclosure, the above identified patent.
1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to cases for holding eyeglasses and, more specifically, a rigid unitary container having a lid attached thereto for protecting eyeglasses from debris and for securely containing eyeglasses safely in the unitary container.
2. The Relevant Technology
The purchase of eyeglasses, such as sunglasses and prescription glasses, can be an expensive investment often costing several hundred dollars. To obtain long lasting and functional use of a pair of eyeglasses, it is important that the glasses be properly cared for and protected. This is especially important when the glasses are not being used. Many modern eyeglasses are formed from thin, aesthetically appealing frames that can be relatively fragile. Furthermore, proper care of eyeglasses requires that the lenses be protected when not in use so as to avoid scratching of the lenses.
To protect eyeglasses when not in use, numerous different types of eyeglass cases have been developed. The most common type of eyeglass case comprises a soft, flexible pocket having an open end in which the glasses can be selectively inserted and removed. By having the case made of a soft material, the lenses are protected from being scratched. The problem with such a case, however, is that due to its flexible nature, the glasses contained therein can be easily crushed or damaged. This often occurs when the case containing the eyeglasses is dropped or a heavy object is placed on the case. Furthermore, it is easy for the eyeglasses to fall out of the open access to the case.
To remedy these problems, alternative eyeglass cases have been developed. For example, rigid clam shell type eyeglass cases have been designed that prevent the glasses from accidentally being crushed. Such cases often have a soft liner to prevent the lenses from getting scratched. Furthermore, rigid cases typically come with a closure that prevents the eyeglasses from falling out of the case. The closure typically comprises a hinged flap having some form of fastening assembly such a hook or button that keeps the flap closed over the opening of the case.
The problem with conventional rigid clam shell type cases, however, is that they are often bulky and inconvenient to use. For example, clam shell type cases require the use of two hands to open and close, one hand to hold the base and the other hand to open the large bulky lid of the clam shell container. This is especially problematic while performing activities where only one hand is free, such as driving. Another problem with clam shell cases is that the top face can easily open and allow the eyeglasses to fall out, resulting in damages to the eyeglasses. Still further, clam shell eyeglass cases are generally designed to fit only a single style of eyeglass, making it difficult to exchange or store different eyeglasses using the same case.
Other problems generally applicable to all conventional eyeglass cases are that they are designed to lay flat. As such, eyeglass cases are often difficult to see or locate when placed on high shelves. Another problem encountered with most conventional eyeglass cases is that they sink in water. This is often a problem to water skiers, sailors, and boaters who often use glasses around the water.
Accordingly, it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide improved eyeglass cases for holding eyeglasses.
It is another object of the present invention to provide improved eyeglass cases that are rigid to prevent crushing of the eyeglasses contained therein.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide improved eyeglass cases as disclosed above wherein the containers are easy to open and close with one hand allowing easy receipt and removal of the eyeglasses therein.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide improved eyeglass cases comprising tubular unitary containers having lids that securely hold a pair of eyeglasses inside the tubular container keeping debris and other undesirable materials out of the eyeglass case.
Another object of the present invention is to provide improved eyeglass cases wherein a single container can securely hold a variety of different styles of eyeglasses.
Also another object of the present invention is to provide improved eyeglass cases that can be vertically stored on a flat surface.
Finally, another object of the present invention is to provide improved eyeglass cases that float when submersed in water.
In order to achieve the foregoing objects and in accordance with the invention as broadly disclosed and claimed herein, a case for holding eyeglasses is provided. The case comprises a rigid unitary tubular container having a first end and an opposing second end. The container further includes an interior surface defining a holding chamber. The interior surface is defined in part by a first wall, an opposing second wall, and curved side walls. A base member is positioned at the second end of the container so as to close off the second end. The base member is preferably flat to enable the container to vertically stand thereon. Means for covering the open end of the unitary container to contain the eyeglasses received within the holding chamber are attached to the rigid tubular container. The covering means both hold the eyeglasses in the tubular container and prevent sand, dirt and other debris from entering the container and harming the eyeglasses.
The covering means is preferably a lid that is hingedly attached to the tubular container near the open end. The hinge attachment at the first end allows the lid to be easily opened and closed with one hand. Means for securing the lid in the closed position, such as a latch, are provided to ensure the lid does not inadvertently open allowing the glasses to fall from the case.
To further protect the glasses, the interior surface of the tubular container comprises a protective lining to prevent the eyeglasses from being scratched while in the holding chamber of the case.
In a preferred embodiment, eyeglasses are placed within the holding chamber of the container. The glasses are retained in the holding area by the lid in the closed position. The lid is hingedly attached to the tubular container so that it can be easily opened and closed and securely fastened to the tubular container by a latch connecting the lid to the container. The inner portion of the lid and the interior surface of the unitary chamber are lined with a thin soft protective lining so as not to scratch the lenses.
The inventive eyeglass case has several advantages over other cases. For example, eyeglass cases without lids allow debris and other miscellaneous items into the case often damaging the eyeglasses. Because eyeglasses are often kept in purses, undesirable items often enter the container causing damage to the eyeglasses. In addition, to confine the eyeglasses in the holding chamber, the lid attached to the tubular container in the present invention securely excludes undesirable materials from entering the container. The lid hingedly attached to the tubular container is securely fastened by a latch. The latch prevents the lid from inadvertently opening allowing the eyeglasses to fall out of the holding chamber. The latch and the tubular container are such that the container can be held with one hand while the latch is released with the thumb to open the lid. This allows the glasses to be removed from the case with one hand, allowing the other hand to be free for driving. Moreover, because of the tubular design of the container, even if the lid is to inadvertently open, the eyeglasses may not fall out. Still further, another advantage is that the unitary container allows for greater strength and durability when compared to clam shell cases. And finally, the protective liner or the case itself may have a foam material incorporated therewith so that the case will float when containing relatively lightweight glasses.
These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
In order that the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and objects of the invention are obtained will be understood, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only a typical embodiment of the invention and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an eyeglass case showing the lid in the open position and the open end of the rigid unitary tubular container;
FIG. 2 is a partially exploded view of an eyeglass case with the tubular container being partially cut away to disclose the protective liner within the container;
FIG. 3 is an end view of an eyeglass container having the lid in the open position, and illustrating the protective liner disposed around the interior surface of the container and the interior of the lid;
FIG. 4 is a back perspective view of an eyeglass container having the lid in the open position and showing a lining positioned on the interior surface of the container and the lid; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of an eyeglass container having the lid in the closed position and fastened to the tubular container.
Depicted in FIG. 1 is one embodiment of an inventive eyeglass case 10 used for holding eyeglasses. The term "eyeglasses" as used in the specification and appended claims is intended to include all styles and kinds of eyeglasses. By way of example and not by limitation, case 10 can be used for holding sunglasses, prescription glasses, and protective glasses. Case 10 is shown in FIG. 1 as comprising a rigid unitary tubular container 12 having an exterior surface 14 extending between a first end 16 and an opposing second end 18. Exterior surface 14 has an outside diameter preferably sized to allow container 12 to fit within a conventional sized cup holder, such as the cup holders incorporated into automobiles.
Container 12 is also shown as having an interior surface 20 that also extends between a first end 16 and a second end 18. Interior surface 20 defines a holding chamber 22 within container 12. Positioned at first end 16 is an annular lip 24 that defines an opening to holding chamber 22. Means for covering the open end so that the eyeglasses are contained in the holding chamber are attached to the unitary tubular container. Lid 28 is an example of a means for covering container 12. The means for covering includes, but is not limited to, a cap, a lid, top or other type covering. The means for covering is preferably prepared from a rigid material and is preferably lined with a protective lining material 34 to protect the eyeglasses from harm. Lid 28 is preferably attached to the tubular container by a means for attaching the lid to the container. Hinge 38 is an example of a means for connecting the lid container 12. Other connecting means can be used to attach the lid to the tubular container, including, but not limited to a string or a tab. In a further embodiment, the means for covering container 12 may not be attached to container 12, but may be a separate piece, such as a cap similar to those used with medicine bottles or to store film for photographs.
The lid can be in the open position, as illustrated in FIG. 1, wherein the first end 16 of tubular container 12 is open, allowing eyeglasses to be inserted into holding chamber 22 of the eyeglass case. Alternatively, lid 28 can be in the closed position (illustrated in FIG. 5), wherein the lid covers the opening to holding chamber 22 at the first end 16. When lid 28 is in the closed position, the eyeglasses are securely contained in holding chamber 22 of container 12.
When the lid is in the closed position (FIG. 5), the lid is fastened, or held in the closed position by means for securing the covering means. Latch 32 is an example of a means for securing lid 28 to container 12. Other securing means, or differing types of latches can be used, so long as the covering means is securely fastened to the tubular container. Latch 32 teams with ridge 54, illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, to securely fasten lid 28 to container 12.
As shown in FIG. 1, container 12 further includes a recessed groove 26 positioned at annular lip 24 and extending a distance toward second end 18. Recessed groove 26 allows latch 32 to be easily engaged and disengaged from ridge 54. For example, a user's thumb can easily press appendage 30 disengaging latch 32 from ridge 54. In fact, because of the location of appendage 30, and the typical size of tubular container 12, the eyeglass case can be held in the palm of the user's hand and the user can open the lid with the thumb of the same hand providing quick, easy access to holding chamber 22 and consequently the user's eyeglasses.
In the preferred embodiment, container 12 is formed as a single unit using conventional injection molding processes. Alternatively, other molding process, such as die casting or blow molding, can also be used. Furthermore, container 12 can be formed in separate parts which are later assembled together. Container 12 along with lid 28 are preferably formed of polypropylene. There are, of course, a variety of different materials that can also be used. By way of example and not by limitation, container 12 can be formed from metals, composites, fiberglass, wood, or other plastics such as polystyrene.
Positioned at second end 18, as depicted in FIG. 2, is a base member 27 that closes off access to holding chamber 22. Base member 27 is substantially flat and configured so as to enable container 12 to vertically stand on base member 27. Container 12 can also be formed having a wall with a thickness that increases from first end 16 to second end 18. By having the thickness minimized at top end 16, container 12 has increased flexibility at top end 16 for increased ease in insertion and removal of the glasses.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the eyeglass case is able to float in water. This is particularly the case when protective liner comprises a thick foam material and lightweight eyeglasses are carried by the eyeglass case or the case itself.
In a related embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, an O-ring 56 can be placed around the interior portion of annular lip 24, in holding chamber 22 to form a seal with lid 34. Alternatively, the O-ring can be placed around the periphery of the inner portion of the lid so that a water-tight seal is formed when the lid is in the closed position. The seal formed by the O-ring and the inner portion of lid 34 functions to keep water or other liquids out of the holding chamber 22 causing the eyeglass case to be waterproof. In addition, the lid and the seal formed by the O-ring 56 function to keep any harmful debris, liquid or gas from entering the holding chamber and damaging the eyeglasses. The water-tight seal formed by the O-ring is especially useful when eyeglass case is used to store eyeglasses around water, such as during boating, water skiing, at the beach and at the pool.
In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the interior surface defining a holding chamber is lined with a protective liner 62. Protective liner 62 can be any material that protects the eyeglasses from being scratched or otherwise damaged while in the holding chamber. For instance, the protective liner is preferably a soft, resilient material that is scratch resistant. Suitable materials for protective linings include, but are not limited to felt, foam, silk, nylon, rayon, satin or the like. In addition, depending on its thickness, the protective lining functions to absorb impact to the case or other movement of the eyeglasses in the case. This is important in cases where an eyeglass case is dropped or otherwise abruptly impacted. Likewise, in a preferred embodiment, the inner portion of lid 28 comprises a protective liner so that the entire surface of holding chamber 22 is lined with a protective liner.
It is noted, however, that all dimensions and sizes disclosed herein are only by way of example and not intended to be limiting. In alternative embodiments, the sizes and dimensions can be proportionally altered to accommodate uniquely configured eyeglasses.
Depicted in FIG. 3 is a top view of container 12 looking into eyeglass case 10 having a protective liner therein. Interior surface 20 of container 12 is shown in FIG. 3 as being substantially oval shaped and defined by a substantially flat first wall, opposing substantially flat second wall, and curved sidewalls.
In yet another embodiment, the protective liner on the interior surface of the holding chamber is removable. Securing protective liner 62 within the holding chamber can be accomplished by any known means, such as by using any suitable adhesive or other attaching means, such as VELCRO™. By changing the protective liner in the holding chamber, the eyeglass case can be tailored for specific eyeglasses. For instance, the protective liner can be made thicker to accommodate smaller eyeglasses, thus reducing the amount the eyeglasses move within the holding chamber and decreasing the impact on the eyeglasses. Likewise, other users may desire thin protective liners allowing for easy insertion and removal of the eyeglasses.
During use, folded eyeglasses are slid into holding chamber 22 through the opening 72 (FIG. 3) at first end 16. In light ofthe fact that the protective liner can be a variety of different sizes and shapes, many different size and shapes of glasses can be received in the holding chamber. Also, in alternative embodiments, different sizes of container 12 can be formed to hold different sizes of glasses.
Furthermore, in another embodiment, the second end 18 can be open to allow access to holding chamber 22 from both the first end 16 and the second end 18. In this embodiment, the case preferably comprises a second means for covering the open second end. As with the means for covering the first open end, a lid 28 is an example of a means for covering the second open end.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, interior surface 20 can be lined with a soft cushioning material 29 such as foam or other type of padding, to further protect the frame and other structures of the glasses. Likewise, the interior surface of lid 28 also preferably comprises a cushioning material to further protect the eyeglasses.
In another alternative embodiment of eyeglass case 10, a cleaning cloth can be positioned within holding chamber 22 to allow selective cleaning of the lenses of the glasses. The cleaning cloth can be made out of a chamois or other soft material commonly known to those in the art. A holding bag can also initially be used for receiving the glasses prior to positioning the glasses within holding chamber 22. The holding bag preferably has a draw string or other means for closing the bag so as to prevent dirt, sand, or other debris from coming in contact with the glasses.
The present invention also provides means for attaching container 12 to an independent object. By way of example and not by limitation, FIG. 5 discloses exterior surface 14 of container 12 having a mounting clip 70 secured thereto. Alternatively, a loop 72 is also shown attached to exterior surface 14 so as to enable attachment of the container 12 to a belt or other kind of strap.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
afternoon all
I have recently completed the Chester Marathon, my training went well, my run was on schedule, i had even taken energy gels at a few of the drink stations....however i hit the wall at 22 miles, i walked for about a hundred yards, shouted at myself and carried on....my finish time was 3 hrs 51 mins....of which i was chuffed with...i now have this niggling in the back of my head saying you could have done better if not for that WALL........any suggestions for any future marathons i may take part in?
That doesnt sound like hitting the wall - just that you had a bit of a crisis ?
Hitting the wall is when you run out of energy and walking 100 yards won't cure it.
Well done on the race - now you know that in order to improve on that you have to do more training for the next one.
Did you have a strategy for nutrition ? Did you get your long runs in ? Did you get any speedwork done ? Look at what you could improve and you should get faster.
Agree with Cougie that it sounds more like a minor wobble and not The Actual Wall. Unless when you say you carried on, you mean it was more of a grim death shuffle rather than an actual run?
Anyhoo, yes, congratulations. Sounds like you did pretty well in what I'm assuming was your first marathon. My suggestions for future marathons would be to get in at least one 22+ mile run in training, and to practice more with gels to see which ones give you the best boost. (Rather than just taking what's on offer at feed stations, which might not be what you want or exactly when you want it.) Caffeine laced ones tend to be pretty good for giving you a kick up the bum. Then you can make sure you've got a couple stashed in a pocket for just before the 22 mile point.
Marathoners often make a huge deal out of The Wall but remember ultra runners do 50 mile, 100 mile and even longer races without running out of steam at the 20 mile point so sometimes I think the marathon wall is often psychological rather than physical. Like, if everyone tells you to expect it and you're thinking about it, it's more likely to happen.
I'm interested in what you say about the possibility that hitting 'the wall' is actually psychological. It happened to me 20 miles into the London Marathon and now l'm almost expecting it to happen again during the New York - do you think I could mentally overcome this?
Lorraine:there's no need to "hit the wall". If you've trained adequately, pace correctly, get your hydration, electrolytes and nutrition right, then a marathon is just another race. There's nothing huge about miles 20-26; they're just six miles, and you've already completed the bulk of the race.
One way to think about it: when you reach 20 miles, all you've got to do is a couple of parkruns. You can do that, surely? Just a couple of parkruns. Easy!
Also, a bit late for you now for New York, perhaps, but you could do worse than go over distance in training: I trained for and ran a 50K before my first marathon. So miles 20-26 were just six more miles - I'd done them (and more) previously. No mystique, no "the last six miles are the second half of the race", just six miles.
This is soo true possibly exasperated by the fact most marathon training plans out there that beginners follow dont actually get you up to race distance before the day which sorts of adds to the mystique of the last few miles.
any biochemists here?
Im interested in whether the body simply burns through its glycogen and then has to be able to switch 100% to metabolising fat stores (in which I suppose you have to improve your running economy and glycogen storage and/or be able to run well on lipids rather than carbs).
Or does the body burn a mix of glycogen and lipids throughout - in which case do you train your body's ability to do taht somehow?
I also read that doing some running when you are glycogen depleted (eg before breakfast) can help - anyone in the know about what works best?

Follow the mud-caked street past the collection of work trucks and garbage bins and you'll find George Gosbee's place. It's the one with the water mark that sits halfway up the front garage door.
From the outside, the Gosbee house still appears rather majestic; the inside looks as if it were decorated by vandals. The floors are stripped to the wood. In some places, there's no wood at all, just big holes that lead to more dried-out dirt. The walls have been taken down to the studs, wires hang out. The basement is worse.
You can almost hear the joists and support beams rotting, which means the home to one of Calgary's most prominent businessmen – and National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman's new best friend – is more than a fixer-upper. It is flood ravaged and in far worse shape than the soon-to-be-renamed Arizona Coyotes, the NHL-run desert franchise that is expected to become another Gosbee property.
Normally during Stampede week, Mr. Gosbee, the chairman, president and CEO of AltaCorp Capital Inc., courts investors and attends barbecues galore. This summer, he has been trying to close on his group's purchase of the long-troubled Coyotes (hence his buddy status with Mr. Bettman) and now, like so many other Albertans, he is dealing with a displaced family and a gutted home.
Fortunately for Mr. Gosbee, his wife and three children, he has the financial wherewithal to recover. He has also been a neighbourhood benefactor who has helped and been helped by others affected by the Elbow River's rise to destruction. Standing in his backyard, the 43-year-old Mr. Gosbee pointed to piles of tree limbs and debris standing six metres in height and told of how people have helped clean up things.
One of them, the Coyotes' Calgary-based strength and conditioning coach, Tommy Powers, brought 20 to 30 of his clients over to assist in demolition duty.
"There were so many hockey players helping out here and at other houses. Tommy had East Coast League, Western Hockey League, American Hockey League guys," said Mr. Gosbee, whose eldest son John plays Junior A in Port Alberni, B.C. "We really needed their muscle and determination. It was like a competition for them. They broke two sledgehammers trying to do more than the other guy."
Former Calgary Flames goalie Mike Vernon offered his help. He donned a pair of hip waders and rummaged through the murky basement waters until he stumbled on two bottles of wine. He brought them upstairs proclaiming, "We're going to be okay."
Mr. Gosbee will have to rely on his ability to muse his way through multiple situations, a trait his friends described in a previous Globe and Mail story as "scattergun" thinking. For the Coyotes, Mr. Gosbee sees the same opportunity the NHL does, that the city of Glendale, Ariz., can indeed be a successful marketplace for hockey.
The NHL's new collective agreement and 50-50 revenue sharing with its players helps Mr. Gosbee and his principal partners, Daryl Jones and Anthony LeBlanc. So, too, do the league's new and more lucrative television deals. What Glendale gets for committing $15-million (U.S.) a year for 15 years to the Coyotes' new owners – it is for managing Jobing.Com arena – are increased shares in parking revenue and naming rights, benefits to the city's side for hockey games and other events. Mr. Gosbee has dubbed it a "win-win" proposition.
His Calgary home for the past 12 years? No such luck. It has been inspected and red-coded by the city, which means, like many houses in the area, it is uninhabitable and probably destined for a date with a wrecking ball.
"You see that big red bin out front?" Mr. Gosbee asked. "It holds 10 tonnes. That's our seventh bin. That means we've already hauled out 60 tonnes of stuff – possessions, drywall, wood, couches. The heartbreaking thing was realizing they probably have to rip [the house] down."
Still, Mr. Gosbee acknowledged his own plight could have been worse given how others have lost not just their homes and possessions but loved ones.
"My son John and I took a canoe here before we were allowed in [by police]. I wanted to see our home. It was the wrong decision," said Mr. Gosbee. "We barely made it; the current was so strong. We paddled our way down the street in front of our house, turned at 4A Street and then left."Report Typo/Error

Thousands of dryer fires are caused by lint every year, yet they can be easily prevented with a few minutes of cleaning. Learn where lint is, how to get at it, and the best way to clean it out.
Every year, nearly 25,000 dryer fires cause millions of dollars in damage and hundreds of injuries, some fatal. Dryer fires start when built-up lint near the motor, gas burners or heating elements catches on fire. This fire can then spread to ignite lint in the vent pipe.
The best precautions are to empty the lint trap after every load, vacuum behind the machine regularly, keep flammables away from the dryer, and annually clean lint from inside the dryer cabinet and vent duct.
We show how to "de-lint" a gas dryer with a front access panel. Electric dryers have a heating element instead of a gas burner. If you have an electric dryer, or your dryer differs from the one shown, consult your manual for instructions on accessing the heating element or cabinet interior.
The most important step in cleaning the dryer is to remove any lint buildup around the motor and gas burner or heating element. Then clean out the vent duct with a 4-in. dryer vent cleaning brush (sold at appliance repair stores, or online).
If your dryer has a plastic vent ducting, replace it with a metal one. The plastic ducting itself can catch on fire and set the house ablaze.
Unplug the dryer and shut off The gas valve before pulling it out to clean. If you smell gas after turning the gas valve back on, immediately turn it off and call your local gas utility.

Dilling Shines As Miners Earn 0-0 Tie Against Texas Tech In Exhibition Match
March 31, 2012
EL PASO, Texas - Rising sophomore GK Sarah Dilling was in midseason form by making six saves, and the UTEP soccer team went toe-to-toe with Big 12 member Texas Tech in earning a hard-fought 0-0 tie in an exhibition match at the Sun Bowl Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The Miners peppered Texas Tech with five shots on net while also earning a pair of corner kicks during the 70- minute exhibition (two 35-minute halves).
There was a good pace of play early on, with the ball really moving on the Sun Bowl surface. A thru ball from Texas Tech in the ninth minute led to a partial breakaway for but Dilling was well positioned. She cut down the angle and then stoned the Texas Tech player.
UTEP began to assert itself offensively with good spacing, with Pak and Hall hooking up on some give and goes. Tess Hall used an aggressive touch on the right wing, and then laced a shot which forced the Texas Tech netminder to make a diving stop in the 16th minute.
A whistle in the box on the Miners set up a Texas Tech penalty kick but the visiting player's shot hit the post to keep things scoreless in the 23rd minute.
The Orange and Blue then went on the attack, with the pressure resulting in a very poor pass by Texas Tech. The ball sent the Texas Tech keeper scrambling back to her line in an attempt to tip it out. She couldn't get there in time but the ball ricocheted off the post. Hall then was robbed on a rebound try in the 26th minute.
Texas Tech mustered the final chance of the period by earning a corner kick, but the Miners took care of business by clearing out the service.
There was some fundamental defense by the Miners to block a shot by Texas Tech in the 38th minute. The ball eventually ended up in the middle of the box where a second shot was whistled wide.
Texas Tech tried a long rang e shot 42nd minute, which skipped in on Dilling. The rising sophomore calmly collected the loose change.
The Miners mounted a charge of their own a few minutes later, with consecutive passes setting up Pak in the box. She took one dribble to compose herself but the shot was just wide in the 48th minute.
A few minutes later it was Brittany Kindzierski doing the honors. She used some fancy dribbling before lacing a left-footed shot which was gobbled up by the Texas Tech keeper.
The visiting side then mounted a push of its own, with a bouncing ball one-timed in on net by a Texas Tech forward. Dilling, though, was there to make the save.
Hall dazzled the fans with a spin-a-rama and then rifled a shot which snuck over the cross bar in the 57th minute.
Dilling delivered her finest save of the match by using her left hand tip a shot from Texas Tech high over the net. The Miners then countered but the shot from Stepanie Sazo was handled.
The teams traded looks late, but neither could find pay dirt.

am suggesting one way to do that is with -hotelling- or equivalent,
since that F or p value is an omnibus measure that most people know
well, and suffers less from overrejection as sample sizes get large.
I suppose a goodness-of-fit test to see if the sample rejects the true
distribution (from the population) serves a similar purpose; see also
-mgof- on SSC. However, there is no real hypothesis being tested here
(would we reject that the true distribution is the true distribution
given our sample? who cares? this is not the relevant question for
assessing bias in some subsequent analysis using only the sample) so
any ad hoc test or summary stat is probably OK. I suggest the linear
discriminant regression on the grounds of expediency. One approach I
have seen is a table of means, with stars for tests of equality of
means/proportions, which is a variable-by-variable equivalent of
-hotelling- (one looks down the rows of the table looking for small
differences and no stars, in the ideal case, but again, this has no
real probative value for assessing bias in some subsequent analysis).

text: Posted by: thelandryhat Written by theMBIIIeffect Aside from Miles Austin and Gerald Sensabaugh, the Cowboys won't be too busy working on big-money deals for players on their current roster this spring. Sometimes, it's better for the team when these deals don't get done. Think back to last spring and a Cowboys player who didn't get the big contract he wanted. Think about Chris Canty. Check out this season's numbers for Canty, the former Cowboys defensive end that the Giants signed on a 6-year, $42 million contract. Now, check out the numbers for his replacement, Igor Olshansky. The Cowboys signed him on a 4-year deal worth $18 million dollars. Yes, Canty had injury problems that limited his efficiency this year. He's a great athlete and when he's healthy, he's going to help the Giants' already deep defensive line. The only question is whether or not he'll live up to his contract. Fair play to Canty for getting that deal done, but he might find himself stuck behind the likes of Osi Umeniyora, Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka for a while. Having Canty on the roster might eventually hurt the Giants more than it helps them when considering the depth at that position. But let's think about how this trade in personnel affected the Cowboys. Did the Cowboys experience a huge drop-off with Olshansky? No. Did letting Canty walk give the Cowboys a lot more cap space? Yes. Would keeping Canty have created more problems in getting DeMarcus Ware a new contract? Most likely. There's plenty that Canty did for the Cowboys during his time in Dallas. But Olshansky came in and did the same right away. This was a smart piece of business from Jerry Jones and Wade Phillips, who coached Olshansky during his time as the defensive coordinator of the Chargers.

Source: Adventist News Network
[June 18, 2007] Ask Evelyn Fischer who vacuums the floors and polishes the pews at the Blooming Grove Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ohio, and she'll tell you without hesitation: "I have a lot of cleaning to do, believe me." But ask Fischer where her tithe goes and she's less sure.
"I've never really thought about it," Fischer says of the 10 percent of her income she donates to the Adventist world church. "I think most of the tithe goes to pay pastors but I don't really know how it works." She pauses before adding, "I sure hope they're doing the right thing."
Fischer's sketchy understanding of tithe distribution doesn't surprise Gerry Karst, a world church vice president. "If you asked your average pastor, church member or even [administrator] where tithe goes and what it does, I don't doubt you would find very few who would be able to answer confidently," says Karst, who also chairs the church's Use of Tithe Study Commission.
But Karst and other commission members want church members to know -- not just hope -- tithe is being used in the most effective, Bible-based way. That's why the Use of Tithe Study Commission, made up of some 60 church leaders and laypeople from across the globe, continues to trawl church policy for tithe usage problems.
The commission, which met three times over the past two years ago, spent considerable time studying the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White, an early Adventist Church founder, "to fully understand the fundamental principles under-girding tithe use," Karst says. Commission members then reviewed church policy on tithe distribution, looking for inconsistencies and seemingly arbitrary practices.
Karst offers one example: tithe is used to pay pastors and church employees, but not church secretaries' or janitors' wages. "We're asking, 'Is there a reason or a rationale behind this?'" Karst says. "In some situations, there just isn't a clear-cut answer."
"Policy does sort of pick and choose," says Dean Rogers, assistant treasurer for the world church. "Many would argue that all teachers [at Adventist schools] should be paid out of tithe, not just Bible teachers. They are probably as key to students' spiritual development as are pastors. Maybe more so."
Reexamining the percentage of tithe currently allocated to pay teachers' salaries might be one of the commission's final recommendations, church officials say.
Commission members say the current examination of funds does not stem from a crisis situation. "It's not that all of a sudden, we're at a critical point where we don't know what we should use tithe for anymore," says Robert E. Lemon, treasurer for the world church. "We just want to make sure we're using tithe totally in accordance with the Lord's will."
Though it has met for two years, the commission has yet to release an update of its progress. Many members say they don't expect any "radical" changes in tithe structure. Church officials say they plan to release a report -- including any recommendations to change church policy -- next fall.
"You don't do this sort of thing overnight," Lemon says.
The Adventist Church received $1.6 billion in tithe contributions in the 2006 fiscal year, up from $1.45 billion the previous year. Of a hypothetical $100 in tithe, $70 goes to the local conference level, or statewide administration, while the remaining $30 is split between unions, one of 13 world divisions, and the world church headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Leonard Newton III, a pastor in Florida, says he favors leaving a percentage of tithe -- perhaps 20 percent -- in local hands. "I'm confident in how [the church] is distributing tithe, but I think there does need to be a radical change. I do realize that this is a world church, but we could really use a good chunk of that money we send to the conference."
According to Edward G. Reid, Stewardship director for the church in North America, most tithe dollars do stay local. He says of the 70 cents of every tithe dollar that goes to the conference, most is redistributed to the local church level.
Other protestant denominations keep a much higher percentage of tithe at the local church, bypassing a conference level altogether. For example, the United Methodist Church uses more than 80 percent at the congregational level.
But Karst and others say such a practice might lead to local congregationalism, eclipsing the church's worldwide focus. However, keeping the church "on the same financial page," he says, doesn't erase administration's responsibility to be transparent with its use of tithe.
Some church leaders say offerings -- contributions by church members above and beyond tithe -- should fund local churches. "The reason pastors are griping is because they're only getting offerings of about two percent of gross income," says Reid. "If they were getting up wards of 10 percent, they'd be swimming in money to use in their local congregations and communities."
Reid says the Adventist church originally chose conferences to act as 'storehouses' in an attempt to accurately follow the Biblical model. The Old Testament 'storehouse,' Reid says, referred to the sanctuary, where the children of Israel returned their tithes and offerings three times per year. From there, the money and goods were distributed.
Church leaders say the storehouse system also ensures the growth of the church globally.
Marian Quisenberry, an Adventist in Florida, believes in the case of corruption, church members "have a right to stop paying directly to the church and donate their tithes to other projects." She also worries those divvying up tithe at the conference level may be arbitrarily appointed.
"The only thing I, as a church member, can do is return my tithe," says Angel Rodriguez, director of the church's Biblical Research Institute. "The Lord has chosen individuals to decide how to use tithe based on His guidelines. If they make a mistake, that shouldn't stop me from fulfilling my responsibility to return tithe."
"We are a worldwide movement looking after each other and we don't want to develop a self-centered attitude," says Sheryl Hersom, a church member in Maine. "Part of the blessing of tithing is feeling that you are sharing. So I think keeping even a portion of the tithe in the local churches would really be a backward step."

This week, most Canadians who wanted to be sitting in a cozy pub or friendly bar to watch Sunday's gold medal hockey game were in luck. Authorities in jurisdictions across the country allowed bars to extend their hours and serve liquor beyond normal times in order to accommodate the popular desire to cheer on team Canada with a beer in hand and fellow fans all around. But the fact that special legal dispensation was required for something as innocuous as letting people have a beer in a bar to watch a sporting event at an unusual time of day should make us all shake our heads.
Amid the medal counts, terror threats and Norwegian curling flare lies the notion that the Olympics make the world a better place. Any sense of togetherness or egalitarianism at the 2012 London Games, for instance, certainly did not apply to the podium. Only 85 of the 204 countries with Olympic committees won medals. If we look at what Olympism has yielded for some of the countries most in need of peace and goodwill, the picture is even less inclusive. The reason the Haitian earthquake orphan will not make it to the Olympics is probably not because she doesn't believe staunchly enough in her dreams.
No disrespect to Lincoln Alexander, Viola Desmond, Dudley Laws and the many black Canadian pioneers that have and continue to make vital contributions to Canadian society, but Subban has the potential to be the most important and influential black in Canadian history.
With far more time to fill than NBC, the CBC producers make maximum use of their resources. Not only have they done a dynamic job of bringing Canadian stories to the forefront, they've recounted the performances of other Olympians from around the world with true depth and aplomb.
Our guide says we should hold on tight and puff ourselves up like the Incredible Hulk. The more we expand, the less likely we are to fall out. Some of us, though, emulate the Hulk by turning green from the thought of a nauseating ride. Welcome to the Whistler Sliding Centre.
It is too easy to find things wrong with Russia. They can find plenty wrong with the West. Corruption? The Russians would say that's always been the way its done. And can we really say much about inferior construction and poor water supply? Is that something we can criticize when entire populations of Aboriginal people are at this moment living in ATCO trailers in Canada?
Mayors raising the rainbow flag is the latest trendy protest against the much-despised "anti-gay laws" which passed the Russian parliament last summer, criminalizing the "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations among minors." The implied pretext is that the persecution of homosexuals in Russia is the worst thing the Russian government has ever done, and a unique outlier of homophobic behaviour in an otherwise civilized world. Neither is remotely true.
When I think of the Olympics, I think of the comedian Louis C.K. He has a bit about a friend's country bumpkin cousin visiting New York City for the first time. "We pass a homeless guy and she sees him," he says. "I mean we all passed him but she saw him." Come Olympic time, I'm that cousin. I can only see how the Games ignore a country's real problems. Because the most disgusting aspect of the Olympics is a country's attempt to distract viewers from domestic issues worthy of international attention.
A small technical glitch happened when a giant snowflake failed to open to create the third ring on the top row of the five-ring Olympic logo. No biggie. Hey, in Vancouver the cauldron was complicated and Catriona Le May Doan sat there waiting to light it but it never came.

The #1 HPC Storage Choice for New Supercomputers
After only 5 years, Seagate continues to solidify its position as the number one choice for high-performance storage solutions designed for new supercomputers. In fact, 40% of the top 20 systems on TOP500's list of the world's fastest supercomputers are powered by Seagate. A clear demonstration that supercomputing is effectively meeting the vast and growing performance and massive capacity needs of HPC systems.
Ready to upgrade your HPC Storage?
Our "Old Iron" trade-in program gives you 50% additional capacity for anything greater than 500TB purchased. That means you could get up to 10PB for FREE! Click here for details.
Seagate Owns 85% of the Intellectual Property Inside ClusterStor
While competitors may claim to have purpose-engineered systems, ClusterStor™ is truly the only purpose-engineered HPC storage solution that is designed, manufactured and supported by one company.
Seagate's accomplished and unique industry experience informs the entire system, from the storage media to the software stack. Because of this full system integration, ClusterStor delivers on many levels where competitor systems cannot. You can expect better performance, efficiency, scalability and—ultimately—simplicity with ClusterStor.
Sustained Performance
Nobody beats ClusterStor on performance. Seagate reliably delivers the highest performance in the most demanding, data-intensive HPC and high-performance data analytics (HPDA) environments.
ClusterStor was first to predictably deliver sustained HPC-performance throughput over 1TB/s
5 of the 6 fastest systems, are powered by Seagate, including the first system to break the 1 TB/s barrier at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) running after 5 years
ClusterStor currently supports the fastest HPC-sustained throughput in the industry—up to 1.7TB/s with data storage capacity over 80 petabytes (PB)
Efficiency/TCO Savings
Seagate's number one ranking is significant and starts with system efficiency at the device level – the core of our business. Other vendors deliver about 50% of the performance throughput per drive compared to ClusterStor, meaning that vendor systems require 2× the number of drives to achieve the same level of performance. These solutions waste valuable power, cooling resources and data center floor space.
By contrast, ClusterStor's unique system architecture requires less hardware, provides efficient flow among all components, and typically requires fewer soft costs such as time to resolution, if issues arise. Seagate builds each system based on your specific needs, delivering the greatest performance efficiency along with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Infinite Scalability
Unlike most cobbled-together legacy systems, ClusterStor is infinitely scalable. We've scaled systems up to 100PB with no loss of efficiency or performance! Because all of our systems are engineered to work together seamlessly, we can help you scale as much or as little as you need, exactly when you need it. Best of all, we simplify the user experience through ClusterStor Manager allowing administrators to easily monitor performance of the entire system from a single dashboard.
Seagate Simple
There's no arguing that HPC storage is hard; the complexity involved in designing an efficient system with the right performance levels, file systems, speed, scalability and data availability can be daunting. But if your HPC legacy system is also cobbled together, as most are, with each component manufactured for its independent performance, then chaos reigns. Sometimes it's better to start fresh.
What we call Seagate Simple.
Simple is defined as clean, consistent and elegant. Seagate's mission is to reduce complexity and to provide easy, unfettered access to data with seamless scalability.
Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) is a set of industry-recognized features and attributes that helps determine the integrity and robustness of hardware or software.
ClusterStor RAS system consists of several features that enable detection and escalation of system issues, provide remote support from service personnel, and offer guided service actions to replace failed hardware through the service console. Seagate's Service Manager and ClusterStor are best-of-class tools designed to meet the needs of data center teams and include the following:
• Service Console
• Telemetry
• Automated Service Dispatch
• Rest API
• Training

A Far North businesswoman who admitted 59 charges relating to the non-payment of tax will be sentenced in November.
Antoinette Cherrington, a director of Jabo Opua Ltd, which went into liquidation in March this year, appeared for sentencing in the Whangarei District Court on Friday after earlier pleading guilty to 30 charges relating to non-payment of income tax, seven of student loan employer deductions and 22 in relation to Kiwisaver.
The offences were committed between April 2009 and July 2011 and involved a total of $109,358. The Inland Revenue Department, which laid the charges, is seeking reparation of $90,925.
The company operated as a cafe and employed between 11 and 13 employees.
In court on Friday Cherrington's lawyer Meg Scally asked Judge Simon Maude for an adjournment so a reparation report could be sought.
The amount of reparation would affect the sentence, Ms Scally submitted.
Judge Maude adjourned the case for sentencing on November 27.

Meet The Designer
In July 2010 Glenda Lopez founded her jewellery design studio-workshop, after studying at the School of Art and Design in Valencia. This studio is where the magic happens and she often produces pieces that are both amusing and quite unusual, never sacrificing quality or attention to detail in her work. Her collection is light-hearted and fun while being an attempt to sway preconceived ideas about contemporary jewellery.
