The New York Mets appear set to begin the season with a starting outfield consisting of Mike Baxter, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Lucas Duda. I honestly think you'd be hard pressed to find a scout around the league that thinks any one of those guys (let alone all three) is currently a legitimate starting outfielder, so to say this is a point of weakness for the Mets is an understatement. That is of course unless something changes between now and Spring Training, such as the team resigning Scott Hairston or making a trade that will bring a more recognizable face to patrol the Citi Field grass. Both scenarios, however, are appearing less and less likely. This morning Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweeted that while the Mets have checked in with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who appear to have a surplus of capable outfielders after their signing of Cody Ross, the team found the price tag on Justin Upton too high and did not see Jason Kubel as a fit: #bbpBox_288282436251574272 a { text-decoration:none; color:#009999; }#bbpBox_288282436251574272 a:hover { text-decoration:underline; } #mets talked to AZ about upton/kubel. prospect/player price 2 high on @JUS10UP10, kubel not perfect fit. about 3 hours ago via webReplyRetweetFavorite @JonHeymanCBS Jon Heyman Heyman also went on to tweet that the D-Backs are looking for young pitchers in exchange for Kubel: #bbpBox_287683629834960896 a { text-decoration:none; color:#009999; }#bbpBox_287683629834960896 a:hover { text-decoration:underline; } #dbacks seek young pitchers from #orioles for kubel. To this point Baltimore disinclined to do that. January 5, 2013 5:14 pm via Twitter for BlackBerry®ReplyRetweetFavorite @JonHeymanCBS Jon Heyman Much to do about nothing here, I guess. I don't think Kubel is a difference maker so while he would help the team a bit in 2013, sending a prospect to Arizona and picking up his salary for the year doesn't seem like a move that will come close to putting the tam over the top. Upton is a different case all together. He's 25-years-old and a budding star, but there's a reason why no team has ponied up to get him, Arizona is seeking a tremendous package in return. According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, Atlanta, Seattle, Texas, and San Diego have all been linked to the young outfielder but nothing has evolved: Photo by Michael G. Baron The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres have held on-and-off discussions about a trade involving those players since July, but the talks have failed to progress, according to major-league sources. The Diamondbacks, however, continue to discuss Upton with other clubs, including the Texas Rangers andSeattle Mariners, sources say, while also considering offers for another of their outfielders, Jason Kubel. The Rangers want to acquire Upton without giving up either shortstop Elvis Andrus or infielder Jurickson Profar. Their preference is to build a package around third baseman Mike Olt, and the team is willing to add a top pitching prospect and third quality piece to the package, sources say. But the D-backs, sources say, believe they could make an even better deal for Upton with another club — possibly the Mariners, who are aggressively trying to add a power hitter. The problem for the D-Backs in trading with the Mariners is that the M's are on Upton's four-team no-trade list, and sources say that he is not inclined to approve a deal to Seattle. The Atlanta Braves also have made "strong overtures" for Upton, sources say, and other teams also might be involved in the discussions. The D-Backs' discussions with the Padres indicate that when a player of Upton's quality is available, teams will make creative proposals." Jim Bowden, however, tweeted that things with Braves have not progressed recently: #bbpBox_287954876430966784 a { text-decoration:none; color:#009999; }#bbpBox_287954876430966784 a:hover { text-decoration:underline; } Frank Wren told us that he wished Kevin Towers a very Merry Christmas in December and hasn't spoken to him since (the Justin Upton question) January 6, 2013 11:12 am via webReplyRetweetFavorite @JimBowdenESPNxm JIM BOWDEN I'm waiting for the Mets, who are rumored now to have money to spend, to do something here in the offseason that will have an immediate impact on the 2013 team and beyond. #bbpBox_288093998667681792 a { text-decoration:none; color:#009999; }#bbpBox_288093998667681792 a:hover { text-decoration:underline; } #mets have quite a bit of $ left to spend. Looking at OF, pen, rotation. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®ReplyRetweetFavorite @JonHeymanCBS Jon Heyman Someone like Upton seems out of reach but Alderson has done a good job of cutting payroll the past couple of seasons while rebuilding the farm system. Dickey and Reyes are gone, Wright will be a Met for life, but there has to be something else. The wait-and-see approach is testing the patience of the people who pay to see the games and I wouldn't be surprised if Sandy makes a bigger splash here in the coming weeks than most anticipate. As I wrote yesterday, the financial wellbeing of ownership is great, but only if that is reflected in how they go about running the team. So far things have not trickled down to help put a better team on the field or bringing in the big names that belong in a big market such as New York. So how long will we have to wait and where will the answers come from?

We arrived a tad later than hoped, but still got there before the vendors. What a beautiful view all around.
Being the oldest bridge in Prague, the foundation stone was laid July 9, 1397 and took until almost the end of the 14th century to be finished. It is 9.4meters wide and 515.7meters long. It leans on 16 semicircular arches and is decorated by 30 statues. The architect of the bridge is the same as the architect of St
The bridge has been threatened many times by floods: 1432, 1496, 1784, 1890, 2002 (largest flood as of the publication that I am reading). And of course, the flood of June 2013. I guess that the publishers are going to have to update their publication. LOL
From the bridge vantage point, there are a lot of beautiful scenes, many pictures were taken, and I have included a number of them here to give you an idea of what we experienced.
After the Charles Bridge event, well, it was a Starbucks event for sure, so off we go to to enjoy our Starbucks.
We continued to wander around the country side, stopping for lunch at Cerny Orel (accents not included!), and then writing out our "Before I Die I Want To..." statements on the wall!
Wallenstein Gardens, another destination, included an aviary. I have included an image of a owl. The owls were huge! We counted about 7 of them. Peacocks also adorned the grounds. Along with ducks, birds and some fish in the central, circular pond.
And then our journey came to a close at the end of the day with yet another trek up the last 105 steps to the flat!

Six weeks after blepharoplasty I am still using Gen Teal 10-20 times per day and having impaired vision unless I press on arrea around eye. I asked doctor to help with swelling but he only offered idea of taping under eye and taping eye shut. Are there other suggestions so I can enjoy reading the newpaper again? The surgical incisions look ok and the heling has proceeded well in other areas.
Blurry Vision After Blepharoplasty. Are There Any Options To Speed Up Healing? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Blurry vision following bleph
looks like you have some subacute (pushing chronic) chemosis. additionally, it looks like the lower lid has some mild malposition with subtle scleral show. follow the link i have provided to an article i published on chemosis managment. do not go it alone. take the article to your surgeon or another surgeon and allow him to guide you through the managment steps.
Web reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=weinfeld%20chemosis
Your surgeon should recommend and Opthamologist
Web reference: http://www.michaelelammd.com
Please consult an Ophthalmologist
6 weeks after surgery, I would not expect severe on going dry eyes. Conservative measures are always recommended in the begining; however, given the frequency with which you are using eye drops, I would strongly recommend consulting with an ophthalmologist to help manage your recovery and minimize risks of long term problem.
You might also like...
Cornea specialist
If you are using eye drops that frequently, it may be time to see a cornea specialisty. That is an ophthalmologist that specializes in treating patients with dry eye problems. He/she can evaluate the cornea and possibly prescribe different eye drops that may accelerate the healing process.
Also the eyelid closure needs to be evaluated. Was you surgeon an Oculoplastics surgeon? If not, it might be a good idea to seek a second opinion from an Oculoplastics specialist. You can find one on ASOPRS dot org.
Good luck
Web reference: http://seattleface.com/html/dr_amadi.php
You have a very unhappy eye for 6 weeks out from surgery.
Your surgery was very aggressive. One can still see chemosis of the conjunctiva which is a fancy medical term for swelling of the whites of the eyes. What can't be determined is to what degree did eyelid surgery compromise the motor function of the orbicularis oculi, the muscle that closes and blinks the eyes. You vision is impaired because these eyelids are still so swollen that they can't effectively move the tears over the corneal surface. I recommend that you ask your plastic surgeon for a referral to an oculoplastic surgeon for assessment. A general ophthalmologist is not sufficient because they to not handle enough post eyelid surgery eyes to have a great handle on the optimum management needed to increase your ocular comfort. If your plastic surgeon draws a blank on this, the American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a geographic directory on their website that will help you find a well qualified consultant in your area.

Bread. June 2006
Courts must pay attention to the quality of justice
The gist of the story is like this: Undercover police officers cultivated
the trust of Adrian Yeo via internet chatrooms for a while before he
agreed to meet with them. The reason it took so long was because at first,
Yeo was unwilling to participate in a sex and drug session. It was only
after many rounds of persuasion that he finally agreed.
When he showed up at the designated place on 1 April 2006, his internet contact revealed himself to be a police officer. Yeo was then arrested for drug possession. On 7 June 2006, he was sentenced to 8 months' in jail [1].
Two concerns bifurcate from here. The first, which this essay addresses, is that of entrapment and the quality of justice. The second, which is the subject of Yet another exploitative story, is about how the tabloid New Paper handled the story.
* * * * *
The court's attention was drawn to a judgment in October 2001, in the UK House of Lords that dealt with this issue. The case involved Spencer Grant Looseley, who was approached several times by an undercover police officer trying to get him to sell drugs. Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead, in the opening paragraph of his judgment [2], said,
Much of the judicial discussion centred on whether entrapment was a valid argument for mitigation, i.e. reducing the severity of the sentence, or for defence, denying culpability.
My reading of that lengthy judgment was that the Law Lords considered that in certain circumstances, entrapment could be a valid defence. The simple tests were:
Providing a simple opportunity to people to commit a crime, if they are of a mind to do so is one thing, but putting forth reward and inducement to convince them to do it, is another.
For example, say we have a rampant situation of taxis refusing to turn on their meters, and it is a crime in law. Say the police use decoys who board taxis asking to travel to out-of-the-way destinations. If a taxi-driver, on learning the destination, responds to the decoy passenger with the counter-offer of an off-meter fare, then this may be acceptable entrapment. The decoy's role was passive, not making any inducement; the taxi-driver volunteered the crime.
But in another case that the Law Lords considered, a man who ordinarily trafficked in cigarettes was approached by police decoys, at first, only for cigarettes. After a number of transactions, a trusting relationship developed between them. Then the decoys asked him if he could supply heroin as well. Not wanting to lose a regular customer, the cigarette guy went out of his way to find suppliers of heroin in order to complete the transaction, even though his first reaction was "I'm not into heroin."
The Law Lords felt this amounted to excessive inducement. The decoys actively suggested and promoted the crime.
* * * * *
It is troubling that according to a friend of Yeo's, he went around a number of drug dealers in a "desperate" attempt to obtain the drugs that would gain him admission into the sex session, though of course the friend could be exaggerating.
The court did not accept the defence of undue entrapment, sentencing Yeo to 8 months' imprisonment. More crucially, quoting from the report in the Straits Times, 8 June 2006, the "the judge said there was nothing to suggest that [Central Narcotics Bureau] officers had acted illegally or had gone beyond the boundary of the law."
I note that the court came to this conclusion at the same sitting as the trial rather than reserve judgment. Surely the issue of entrapment raised by defence counsel must have seemed serious enough to warrant careful consideration and study before coming to a decision?
In any case, the issue with entrapment is not whether the actions of the police violated any specific law, as the judge's words imply, but whether they violated considerations of justice. I'm not arguing that in this particular case it did, but I would think that this important question was treated too lightly.
This brings me to my main question: Do Singapore courts merely see their role as enforcing laws or delivering justice?
* * * * *
On a related note, there was an article in 'Today' newspaper on 5 June 2006 about how someone wrongly accused of a crime could end up broke despite being acquitted [3]. See box on the right.
Thomas Koshy, a lawyer in private practice, argued for the courts to provide for compensation.
"It is anomalous that the Singapore courts routinely award costs to successful defendants in civil cases, but never to successful defendants in criminal cases. On the other hand, the law does not place any constraints on the power of the courts to award costs to the prosecution on conviction," he wrote.
He also noted that this will require a change in legislation.
In England, if a person is acquitted, the court normally makes an order of costs in his favour unless there are positive reasons for not doing so, Koshy pointed out.
Our failure to do so may pervert the course of justice in Singapore, as many who are charged are reluctant to spend on legal costs to defend themselves when even a win means losing their savings. It is just not right that a person should have to choose between wrongful conviction and personal bankruptcy.
This is a very serious point, and it is high time we bring our system of justice in line with higher standards.
* * * * *
Too often, the Singapore system privileges the freedom of the Executive to do what it thinks it needs to do, even at severe cost to ordinary citizens. It is the same mindset that loves sweeping laws with vague language, leaving it to the prosecutor to use them as he sees fit. The same thinking sees no reasonable limit on entrapment, and one that makes our judges extremely deferential towards the Executive.
We boast about how efficient is the justice system in Singapore, but it is high time we give due consideration to whether all that efficiency delivers quality. Do we have a bad habit of seeing the courts as yet another instrument for enforcing the will of the Executive? Shouldn't the courts also, as in Lord Nicholls words, "stand between the state and its citizens and make sure [misuse of state power] does not happen"?

I love photographing beautiful things. I like spectacular too. So far, I've captured moments, like the moment a swan leaps out of the water to take off, and the moment a soap bubble begins to pop.
In 2009 I've become famous for photographing soap bubbles. In July, my work was featured in most of the UK national press, making me very proud to be me. Digital Camera magazine (aka Digital Camera World – in rest of the world) have given my bubble shots a two page feature in their October edition too. My bubble shots use natural light only, hence the reflections from trees and buildings. I started off trying to capture reflections in bubbles. The popping was just a kind of lucky extra that stemmed from that.

Date published: 2016-10-13
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from As expected Looks lovely compared to the old one that was there, awaiting shower to be fitted, so can't yet comment on does having a more rounded shower end make a difference. Also having to wait nearly 30days for shower screen as we didn't order at the same time. Neither of the products are available to collect in store, which is my only real bug bare, as timescales are very long for this day and age. But giving a 2hr window is a bonus, so don't have to wait in all day. Don't like having to have a pop up waste, as true to form on feedback I have read, the water slowly drains out, fortunately we are shower people and as the bath is fairly rounded at the shower end, would be expensive to fill for a bath.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from shower bath An excellent shower bath that fits easily into the bathroom because it isn't an awkward shape as some are. This was a replacement for our old damaged bath and there was no retiling required at all.

As many as 32 amendments were incorporated in the Bill on the behest of the opposition party the PML-N. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and PML-N attached separate notes of dissent in which they expressed their reservations on the Bill, fearing it might violate fundamental rights of citizens as guaranteed in the Constitution, particularly privacy rights.
The law was designed to provide legal framework to the agencies to lawfully conduct the surveillance of an individual who is likely to or suspected of engaging in preparations to conduct an act of crime or terror. However, the law would also render necessary assistance in successful prosecution of perpetrators of such crimes.
According to Object and Statements of the Bill, the law encourages all investigation agencies including intelligence agencies to only collect genuine evidence in accordance with the law and thus curb the temptation of planting false and fabricated evidences against individuals in violation of their human rights, due process and civil liberties. Whereas , it is expected that with the entry into force of this law, all law enforcement and intelligence agencies will be governed by a uniform legal system for collection of evidence ,which will be admissible even if collected prior to the registration of an FIR.
The law shall prevent the use and abuse of interception powers, particularly by intelligence agencies, besides forcing them to abide by the law. Thereby, the intelligence agencies will be performing their originally intended function of pre-empting any incident or act of crime or terror in a timely manner to ensure the protection of fundamental rights, including the right to life of the citizens of Pakistan.
The Bill was tabled by Federal Minister for Law and Justice Farooq H Naik. PML-N lawmaker Zahid Hamid expressed reservations on the Bill. He was of the view that PML-N was not opposing the bill, but it had reservations on several of its clauses, which might cause damage to fundamental rights of citizens. He feared that the law could be misused and there was a need for proper monitoring to safeguard human rights. Citing potential threats to fundamental rights of people, the PML-N proposed 33 amendments to be incorporated in the Bill. The law minister, while allaying PML-N fears, said that the government would consider all proposed amendments, if the opposition presented them in the House.
The government claims that "existing laws neither comprehensively provide for nor specifically regulate use of advanced and modern investigative techniques such as covert surveillance and human intelligence, property interference, wire-tapping and communication interception that are used extensively in other countries, including the US, the UK and India". The amendment, 'Prohibition of misuse of intercepted material' reads: (1)The material intercepted pursuant to the warrant of surveillance or interception shall not be used by any official of the applicant or of the Court or any other person associated with the provision of this Act. (2) Any person who violates the provision of sub-section (1) shall be punishable with imprisonment of up to five years or with fine up to ten million rupees or with both. The aforementioned amendment has been incorporated in the Bill.
The government accepted PML-N's amendment to exclude the name of Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) from paragraph (a) of Clause 3 of the bill, which reads: 'applicant' means, Director-General Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Intelligence Agencies of the three Services, Intelligence Bureau (IB) Police and Federal investigation Agency (FIA).
The PML-N also proposed that the law shall be repealed one year after coming into force, but this was rejected by the government. The House accepted that the law shall be repealed three years after coming into force. The government accepted as many as 32 of 33 amendments proposed by the opposition.
The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said: "It is not an ideal law and I am not completely satisfied with it. The law should not be misused, we will monitor how intelligence agencies implement it. We wanted to review this law after one year, but now any government coming into power would review it after three years."
According to the law the role of investigation in terrorism activities would be given to Director-General of Inter Services Intelligence, three Services Intelligence Agencies, Intelligence Bureau and Police. According to the Bill: "The warrant of surveillance or interception to be issued by the judge may authorise and allow the lawful doing of any or all the following acts:
(a) Interception and recording of telephonic communication of the suspect with any person and of that person with any other person. (b) Video recording of any person, persons, premises, even, situation etc (c) Interception or recording or obtaining of any electronic transaction, including but not limited to e-mail, SMS etc (d) Interception and taking over of any equipment used in the communication in respect of which the warrant is issued, including but not limited to telephone, cell phone, mobile SIMs, electronic database demonstrating linking of electronic communication with the database belonging to the person in respect of whom the warrant has been issued. (e) Collection of evidence through any modern devices in addition to the ones mentioned above (f) Use of human intelligence (g) Covert surveillance and property interference (h) Access to any information or data in any form related to a transaction, communication or its content."

Police: man killed in self defense
BATON ROUGE- Police said late Thursday, the stabbing death of a man earlier in the day was justified.
Kendrick Edwards, 19, died after being stabbed in the leg in a neighborhood near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and McClelland Drive. He died at an area hospital.
Investigators said Edwards was killed by an 18-year-old female at her house when he began to physically assault her. Police believe she got the knife to protect herself, and stabbed Edwards in self defense. Investigators described the pair's relationship as an "acquaintance."

The most recent results are from the 2015 survey, which you can view on the NHS Digital website.
The Health Survey for England is a yearly survey that monitors the health of the nation. It has been running since 1991.
Each year the survey provides data on core topics such as general health, social care, smoking and drinking, and objective measures including height, weight and blood pressure.
Modules of questions are also asked on specific health issues such as cardiovascular disease, physical activity or respiratory conditions. These modules vary from year to year depending on the survey focus.Since 1994, the survey has been carried out in collaboration with the HSE team of the Health and Social Survey Research group at the Department of Epidemiology at UCL.
We select participants using a random probability sample. The survey design ensures that every address in England has an equal chance of being included in the survey each year and the results are representative of the population living in private households.
Information is collected through an interview, and if participants agree, a visit from a specially trained nurse.

Color printing can make up the bulk of the cost for invitations. Below is a budget-friendly way to add interest and color to simple black and white invitations with bright fabrics and patterned paper.
You Will Need...
Patterned papers
Spray mount
Sewing machine
Rotary cutter
Pinking shears
Corner rounder
Step One
For invitations that will go inside an A7 envelope (5.25"x7.25") cut out 5"x7" fabric rectangles. (You can use the downloadable PDF as a guide for both the fabric cutouts and invitations.)
Step Two
Fold fabric in half. Sew each side closed with a straight-stitched, 1/4" seam.
Step Three
With pinking shears, trim the very edges of the sides and top. Your finished pouch holds a 4.35"x6.5" invitation.
Patterned Envelope Liners: Step One
To line "announcement" envelopes (a straight envelope flap), first cut out paper rectangles measuring 6.75"x4".
Step Two
Round the top corners with a paper corner rounder and lightly spray the back of the paper with spray mount.
Step Three
With one hand, pop the envelop open. With your other hand, gently guide the paper partway into the envelope, rounded corners towards the top. The backside is sticky from the spray mount, so take care not to let it adhere to the envelope.
Step Four
Align the top of the paper so that it sits just below the envelope adhesive and the edges are even on both sides of the flap. Press down firmly, then fold the flap down to crease the paper with the envelope.
Step Five
Use scraps of paper to embellish RSVP cards, directions, etc.

What does it mean to be transgender in the EU today?
The alarming reality of what it is like being transgender in the EU today is revealed in a new report by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). Violence and discrimination are common. Many hide their identity, are marginalised, and live in isolation or even fear.

If you don't know who DJ Alan Freed is, you are not alone, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was the place for an education.
The DJ credited with coining the term "Rock 'n' Roll" had a prominent exhibit in the museum — that is, until today, when his remains were removed from the exhibit, CNN reports.
There is dispute between Freed's son, Lance, and Executive Director Greg Harris, with Freed claiming the Hall as being disrespectful to his father's legacy, while Harris claims the DJ will still play a prominent role in the museum — just not his ashes.
It is unclear whether this has to do with a new exhibit that opened just days ago, featuring outfits worn by Beyonce at various stages of her career, including the black leotards she wore in her 2008 "Single Ladies" video.
Harris says that "the museum world is moving away from exhibiting remains," he said to CNN. "Museum community colleagues across the country agree."
Harris also notes that the museum's radio studio is named for him, and many other points in the museum touch back to him.
Fans will be forced to make do with the Beyonce exhibit. Which, you know, is probably pretty awesome.

"Finding Dory" aka "Finding Nemo 2" is on the way. Here's what you need to know about it.
Disney Pixar is returning to their 3D blue sees for more Nemo.
Nemo has been found, and he's pissed. The Northeast is bracing for the icy rage of the clown fish, and what better way to prepare than meming it to death.
Andrew Stanton is recovering from helming one of the biggest flops in cinema history, and he'll do so with "Finding Nemo 2," the sequel to his own 2003 Pixar hit. If he doesn't hit a home run, after striking out miserably last time out, he'll be sent packing back to the Mickey-Mouse leagues.

Polymeric Sand - How long till it drys and hardens?
I used polymeric sand (Alliance Gatorsand/Supersand) for the first time yesterday and was careful not to overwater. I finished with my second quick misting of the sand at about dusk. (7:30PM EST) In total I did 2 "coats" of water for probably 45-60 seconds total for the entire patio.
This morning the sand is still pretty wet. Granted there obviously hasn't been any sun to dry it out.
When should I expect this stuff to harden? I have done a quick google search and it says that overall it should harden in 24 hours so I should be alright I hope.
Anyone have any experience with this stuff?
Answer is about 24 hours for normal gaps and a little longer for larger gaps for those interested.
My patio is firming up nicely after 24 hours.

I:12:01 Violence on Campus
Middle Tennessee State University is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty and staff. MTSU does not tolerate acts of violence committed on campus or within any university-owned or operated facility. Individuals engaging in any such acts may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as well as subject to normal university disciplinary procedures. The University is further committed to the education of the campus community about ways to decrease the incidence of violence and appropriate responses to potential or actual violent situations.
Violence addressed by this policy is defined as "any act or threat of aggression intended to create fear of bodily harm or to otherwise threaten the safety of an employee, student, or the general public." Examples of such behavior include, but are not limited to:
A. Any assault or battery. Assault includes speech where the target is threatened and the individual making the threat has the capability to carry it out. The target is made to feel he or she is in danger. Battery is the actual physical contact.
B. Any substantial threat to destroy property or destruction of property.
To reduce the possibility of threats or acts of violence and establish an effective procedure for responding to potential or actual violent situations, the University will develop crisis management procedures to deal with potential or actual violent situations. Once established, these procedures should be communicated to the campus community by the most effective means. The Crisis Council shall be activated when necessary and appropriate to review the potential or actual violent situations and coordinate appropriate university responses such as family notifications, press statements, follow-up counseling, etc.
A. The MTSU Environmental Health & Safety Committee is charged to function as the monitoring body to oversee the implementation of the "Violence on Campus" MTSU Policy I:12:01. (Refer to MTSU Policy IV:00:01 Environmental Health and Safety)
B. The University Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can offer assistance to employees who are seeking help. It can also be used by managers and supervisors seeking help in assessing and defusing a potentially harmful situation.
The phone number of the EAP should be prominently displayed in all University departments. It may also be obtained by calling the Office of Human Resource Services.
C. The June Anderson Center for Women and Non-Traditional Students, Guidance Services, and the Dean of Student Life's Office can offer assistance to students, managers and supervisors seeking help in assessing and defusing potentially harmful situations regarding students.
D. If a member of the campus community becomes aware of an act of violence or the potential for future acts of violence, he or she should contact the MTSU University Police or, if anonymity is desired, the Rutherford County Crime Stoppers.
Revisions: November 19, 1996; February 3, 1998; January 1, 2010; March 18, 2010.

Writing a cover letter: What you need to know
All applicants wish they would know what exactly recruiters look for in a resume and cover letter. For the latter, the basic rule is to catch the attention of hiring managers and not bore them, considering the thousands of applications they receive every year. Thus an applicant's motto should be: Go straight to the point!
The objective is to "brand" yourself and convince the recruiter that you are a great fit for the offered position. Recruiters have some specific expectations regarding the format, structure and content of a cover letter.
The cover letter complements the resume
Candidates need to remember that most recruiters look at the resume first and then the cover letter. That makes it important to find a good balance between resume information and cover letter content.
For example, there is no need to repeat what was mentioned in the resume, such as different job titles. The cover letter, meanwhile, should elaborate on selected resume information that is directly relevant to the job.

New Zealanders winning gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi are being given t-shirts with a cryptic message.
The shirt from team management has the line "Sir Ed said it best" on the front.
Shot putter Valerie Adams, who successfully defended her title last night, sported one as she spoke to journalists today.
The other recipient has been track cyclist Alison Shanks, who won gold in the 3000m individual pursuit on Friday.
The New Zealand team's theme in New Delhi is the number 29028, the height in feet of Mt Everest, which was conquered for the first time by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Norgay Tenzing in 1953.
After the pair made it off the summit, Sir Ed famously told fellow mountain climber George Lowe: "Well, George, we knocked the bastard off."

irregular paint/roof panel near sunroof
It's difficult to explain and more difficult to take a picture of, but i'll give it a shot and would like to know if anyone else has experienced this.
Last week I noticed my pano roof was leaking, so I took a look at the roof and noticed that the paint/panel near the driver side of the sunroof is 'wavy'.
I only noticed it at a particular angle when light reflected off of that spot. the paint and roof panel is smooth, but nearing the edge of the sunroof, there's about a 3-5" portion that is not smooth and a bit wavy.
Any ideas of what this could be? I will try to take a pic, but was unsuccessful with the given light and iphone. I'm not sure if this is the cause of a bad seal with the sun roof and causing a leak, if this is considered "normal" by Jeep, or if I should waste my time bringing it in...I figure there's not much they would do to repair it and if they did, I don't trust it would be any better.
Re: irregular paint/roof panel near sunroof
Personally, I could care less about a paint imperfection on the roof. But a pano leak would have me straight into the dealer.
Re: irregular paint/roof panel near sunroof
and to further explain the leak, I got in the car after it sat out in the rain and I saw a water droplet from the sunglasses holder. I did some research and found others have also had this issue, the people with the issues didn't seem to have a positive response from dealers. Some had their pano roof adjusted and didn't notice the issue, others got the "could not replicate" response.
Re: irregular paint/roof panel near sunroof
My dealer has a guy who specializes in leaks. My wife's Compass had water coming into the dome light from the sunroof. He had it taken care of in an hour. Several years now, and no more leaking. If I were you I'd get it into the dealer, leaks can cause all sorts of havoc.
Re: irregular paint/roof panel near sunroof
just got off the phone with my dealer, they also have a specialist that comes in once a week to take care of sunroof leaks.
it's amazing that they'd need this. first, I was surprised when he said his techs are not trained to diagnose and fix sunroof leaks and that's why they have a specialist come in once a week. second, that it's so common that they need a specialist once a week.

At the time of writing, F-Secure has received no report about this worm from the field.
Gigger is a destructive worm that spreads itself as a fast mass-mailer by using Outlook and as a slow mass-mailer (in infected HTML messages) using Outlook Express. It is written in both JavaScript and Visual Basic Script.
Automatic action
Depending on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either automatically delete, quarantine or rename the suspect file, or ask you for a desired action.
More scanning & removal options
More information on the scanning and removal options available in your F-Secure product can be found in the Help Center.
You may also refer to the Knowledge Base on the F-Secure Community site for more information.
Contact Support
F-Secure customers can request support online via the Request support or the Chat forms on our Home - Global site.
Technical Details
Variant:Gigger.A (Gigger.A@mm, JS_GIGGER.A,JS/Gigger.a@MM, JS.Gigger.A, JS/Gigger-A)
When executed, the worm first creates two files into the root of the C: drive: "b.htm" and "bla.hta".
Next Gigger checks an infection marker from the registry, and if it is not present, it is created. The registry key is:
The worm goes all mapped network drives from "C" to "M". If possible, it creates a copy of itself into file
\windows\start menu\programs\startup\msoe.hta
for each drive. It also copies itself to
"Windows\Help\mmsn_offline.htm" and "Windows\Samples\WSH\chart.js".
Spreading via Outlook Express
The worm executes its slow mass-mailing routine. It changes Outlook Express settings so that every message sent from an infected machine is in HTML format and contains a copy of the worm, by embedding the file "mmsn_offline.htm" into the message. On that way the worm will activate when next recipient open or view such infected message.
Spreading via Outlook
The fast mass mailing part of the worm collects email addresses from both Outlook contacts folder and from the Windows Address Book. The worm sends itself to each address collected with the following characteristics:
Subject: Outlook Express Update Body: MSNSoftware Co. Attachment: mmsn_offline.htm
The worm also sends a message to firstname.lastname@example.com, which propably belongs to the virus writer. The message contains a list of all email addresses where the worm was sent.
If the worm fails in the above section to access Outlook, or it fails to create files that it needs, it adds a line to the "c:\autoexec.bat" that attempts to format the C: drive. However, this payload is able to activate only in Windows 9x, and it may not work in localized versions.
The JavaScript code contains the following comment:
//29.10.2001, 10/29/01 This worm is donation from all Bulgarians!CopyR2001McB
Gigger also drops "Windows\Help\Charts.vbs", which contains another fast mass-mailer, and runs it. It also adds it to the registry, so it will be executed in the each system startup by using the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\NAV DefAlert
The worm again collects email addresses from Outlook Contacts folder, and sends the following message to each recipient:
Subject: (email address of the recipient) Body: Microsoft Outlook 98 Attachment: mmsn_offline.htm
The attachment name is set to "Reports", which is the reason why some email clients may show the attachment as "Reports" instead of "mmsn_offline.htm".
The worm also goes through all hard and mapped network drives, appending the worm code to each file that has extension ".htm", ".html" or ".asp".
Further, if the directory contains any files with either ".ini" or ".hlp" extensions, a file "script.ini" is created as well. Therefore, if the user has IRC client mIRC installed into system, the worm will replace the default "script.ini" with its own. After that the worm sends itself to each user that joins the same IRC channel where the infected user is.
If the day of the month is 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th or 20th, the worm replaces all files from all drives with a zero byte files, destroying their original content.
F-Secure Anti Virus detects Gigger worm by heuristics and generic detection.

Lost in the furor which erupted over the death of innocent children is the role played by our Supreme Court in allowing men and women to wander our streets with guns in hand. Throughout the history of the United States, our Supreme Court has allowed government restrictions on the use of weapons of mass destruction. It is only during the past twenty years that judges, who allegedly are men and women of education, have introduced the concept that NO restriction can or should be placed on gun nuts. They even believe it constitutional for armed individuals to carry concealed weapons into buildings, theaters, and even schools.
Police in Cedar Lake, Indiana fortunately learned about the latest copy cat killer, one Mr.Meyer. He is a member of the Invaders Motorcycle Gang and has 47 guns scattered around his home. Mr.Meyer told his wife that he intended to head for the Jane Ball Elementary School and "kill as many people as I can."
How can graduates of law schools allow this madness to continue. They are not defending American rights, they are furthering American madness!

Three prominent Republican senators expressed their lack of confidence in Alberto Gonzales on Sunday. GOP support has dropped off since Justice Department documents released on Friday caught the attorney general misrepresenting when he first knew about a plan to fire eight U.S. attorneys.
New York Times:
Questions over Mr. Gonzales's future intensified on both sides of the aisle this weekend, after the release of Justice Department documents late Friday that detailed plans for a meeting between Mr. Gonzales and his aides in which they discussed the dismissals last year, 10 days before most of them happened. Mr. Gonzales had previously said that he was "not involved in any discussions about what was going on" and that he had mostly followed the process from a distance.
Speaking on "Meet the Press" on NBC, Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, said he spoke with Mr. Gonzales on Saturday and told him "he was going to have to have an explanation as to why he said he wasn't involved in discussions—that's the key word—and now you have these e-mails which appear to contradict that."
White House officials continued to defend Mr. Gonzales, saying the e-mail messages did not directly contradict anything he had said and noting that he had not disputed that at the end of the process he signed off on the final list of prosecutors to be dismissed. President Bush said in his Saturday radio address that he strongly supported Mr. Gonzales in the decision to oust the prosecutors, though he has said he believes that more explanation is necessary.
Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., said Sunday of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales: "He does have a credibility problem."

NEW YORK -- When a teenage Nas opted out of street hustling to chase his musical dream, those around him found it amusing.
No one laughs about Nas now. Considered one of music's most celebrated lyricists, he's a top contender at next month's Grammy Awards, with four nominations. The 39-year-old rap veteran reached new heights last year with the release of his album Life Is Good, which made several critics' end-of-the-year lists. It is nominated for best rap album.
Nas also gets personal on his album about another woman: his daughter. The song Daughters, about the struggles of parenting a girl, is up for best rap song and best rap performance; his jam with the late Amy Winehouse, Cherry Wine, is nominated for best rap/sung collaboration.
He talked about his career, the nominations, his recent tour partner Lauryn Hill and more in a recent interview.
1 Daughters isn't a typical contemporary rap song. How's it feel to see that one garner attention at the Grammys?
I'm really proud of that song. Just writing it, I'm like, "I'm going through something in my life with me and my family," and I don't think about who's going to hear it at that point because it's that personal. ... The fact that it made the final cut of the album, the fact that it became a single was great enough for me. Like, wow. And then to be acknowledged by the Grammys is mind-blowing.
2 You've been releasing albums since 1991. How are you finding new things to write about?
Rule No. 1 is you can't be fake. If you're fake, you become a gimmick and you're selling a gimmick; a little gimmick is cool, this is entertainment. But when you base your stuff on mostly real stuff, you never run out of it because every day is a different adventure.
3 You recently toured with Lauryn Hill. What was that like?
She's almost like someone from a different era. ... She possesses this aura of someone like Roberta Flack, Nina Simone -- it's almost like you're with them, on tour with that person. And sometimes it's even more advanced for the audience; the audience is used to dealing with microwave music, so to have someone like Ms. Lauryn Hill onstage, they might not understand, they haven't seen artists like that before, and I feel like I'm with someone that's, like, beyond me.
4 Will you record music together again?
I don't know. I would love to. It's really about sitting down and really cracking into it. She's a real serious artist.
5 Which albums are the standouts of 2012?
No disrespect to nobody else in rap music, but Kendrick Lamar. I'm really happy about his record. I needed that. His record reaches you. It gives you hope. ... Also, Meek Mill. His energy is amazing.

In praise of the Super fan
July 4th, 2011
If you are a friend of Bravissimo on Facebook, you will have noticed that the Bravissimo Super Fans' event took place in London the other night. Some of our past Super Fans got together and swapped their experiences of Bravissimo and what being a Super Fan meant for them personally. I know we may have mentioned it before (once or twice), but finding the right bra really can change your life and these girls a testament to that.
One fan had her fitting over the phone, at first she wasn't too confident, however the fitter was knowledgable and helpful and talked her through signs that she should be looking for when trying on a bra. The Bravissimo parcel arrived and as soon as she tried on her new bra, she had her eureka moment.
Some Fans had been so unhappy with their boobs that they had even considered surgery, only to find that the right bra eliminates backache, corrects posture, which in turn improves the figure, knocking a few pounds off and creating a new feeling of self confidence as a consequence. All that from a bra, can't be bad eh!
Another Super Fan was looking for some lingerie for her wedding but was not keen on the prospect of searching the high street for something supportive but dull, until she stepped into a Bravissimo store and was shown the Hestia Basque and couldn't believe how sexy it was, whilst still offering great support and lift.
One of our other Super Fans was introduced to Bravissimo by a friend, after she had been complaining that there was nothing out there for bigger boobed ladies apart from granny bras, she literally could not believe her eyes when she actually saw how much choice Bravissimo offered and in so many gorgeous colours and fabulous styles.
We would like to thank our wonderful Super Fans and all our Bravissimo ladies for continuing to support us and being so passionate about our brand.

Third World mobility via Saline workshop
by David Stringer
From the January, 2011 issue
Jack Spack's Septic Services on Carpenter Road is in farm country, with chickens clucking noisily in a nearby pen and peacocks out back. But neither the business nor the setting prepares a visitor for the work going on here tonight. In a remodeled garage at the back of the property, half a dozen volunteers are making all-terrain wheelchairs they'll donate to disabled people around the world.
This workshop east of Saline is a small part of PET (Personal Energy Transportation), a nonprofit headquartered in Missouri. PET was founded in 1995 by Larry Hills, a Christian missionary living in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Millions of refugees fleeing the Rwandan genocide had poured into the Congo and neighboring countries, spreading the conflict that would eventually claim more than 5 million lives. Hills saw a tremendous need for a way to enable those injured-often by landmines-or crippled by disease to earn a living and achieve some sort of normal life.
Will Minnette, a tall and energetic Saline resident, leads the volunteers. He explains that in much of the Third World, a man who can't provide for his family can't marry. He tells of an African couple who met and married when the man received a PET wheelchair and could gather vegetables for his wife to sell.
Remarkably, word of the need for rugged transport among the world's poorest residents started circulating twice in Saline, coming from two different sources. Jack Spack owners Vicky (Spack) Relitz and her husband, Duane, had already started to make "Pull PETs," carts used to haul people with no mobility at all over rough terrain. Then they heard about a second group working out of Saline's First United Methodist Church.
That project started when church member Bea Melendez took a group of underprivileged kids from the Cass Corridor in Detroit-youngsters who themselves were "one step from being homeless," Minnette says-down to Texas, where they volunteered in a workshop building PET chairs.
In the process, the kids learned to weld and to operate saws and drills. After taking several trips to Texas, the Methodists decided to open their own workshop in Saline. The Relitzes heard about the plan, sought them out, and donated the Carpenter Road garage to PET in April of 2009.
Since then it has undergone a thorough refitting into a workshop, with insulation and shelving to hold tools, safety glasses, gloves, paint, and materials to be cut and assembled. One wall of the shop accommodates a line of power tools, including a drill press, saws, and a router. On the wall, pieces of wood are marked with cutting and assembly instructions to guide the mostly novice workers-today including three young women from Ann Arbor Pioneer High School and Minnette's eight-year-old son, L.B.
Minnette, who works as director of information services at Automotive Dealer Management, Inc., says local fund-raising comes from the Saline Lions Club and Ann Arbor Rotary, as well as numerous private donors. The church underwrites the shop's insurance. Though PET's mission, according to the organization's website, is "to reflect the love of Jesus Christ by bringing mobility and dignity to those in developing countries who are unable to walk," there's no sign of Christian proselytizing at the workshop-only Christian charity.
The wheelchairs are really hand-powered tricycles, designed to give disabled people access to work and a regular life where rough terrain makes conventional wheelchairs impractical. They're driven by the circular motion of the user's hands, rotating a small cogwheel linked by a chain to the chair's front wheel. Designed by an aircraft engineer, the chairs are built for durability-tires are solid rubber, not inflated-with a simple and practical design that makes for easy reassembly and repair in villages without many tools or parts. In fact, they are shipped with a wrench and Phillips screwdriver, along with replacement bearings and other parts most prone to wear. Though they are not literally "all-terrain vehicles"-limitations include the arm strength of the driver and the roughness of the terrain-a low gear ratio allows the PETs to work off-road, and direct drive makes them easy to reverse.
As his dad explains the chairs to a visiting reporter, L.B. tries to get him back to work by bringing out cans of red, green, and blue paint. The bright colors were chosen, Minnette says, because people find them "uplifting." One PET, though, was painted purple and white. Volunteers from Pioneer High, who had heard of the project through an Ann Arbor Rotary meeting, donated $250-enough for one PET-and persuaded Minnette to paint it in their school colors.
Due to the time and money spent creating the shop and training volunteers, the Saline PET unit has thus far produced only a dozen or so wheelchairs, but Minnette hopes to produce a hundred per year in the near future. He estimates that PET International ships about one thousand units per year, including 150 recently purchased by the U.S. military for use in Iraq.
Coincidentally, Ten Thousand Villages on Main Street in Ann Arbor also raises funds to purchase rough-terrain wheelchairs. Volunteers at the "fair trade" store raise money through sales of donated vintage jewelry, and this year they pledged $2,000 to the Bombolulu Workshops in Kenya, where the chairs will be built and distributed to needy Kenyans. "The benefits are immense," says store manager Susan Rogal. "Society weeds out those who can't keep up."
"This absolutely changes lives," longtime store volunteer Kathy Wilkinson adds. "It gives people a sense of independence. Self-esteem just soars."
Neither Minnette nor Rogal sees much use for the simple, rugged chairs in the heavily paved United States. Other factors discouraging use here, according to Minnette, are this country's product liability laws and willingness to sue. That course of action would seem foreign indeed to the PET wheelchairs' grateful recipients.
The PET workshop is located at 7415 Carpenter Road. It operates Tuesdays from 7-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-noon. The shop can be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Aussies spinning out of control

High fives: Indian leg spinner Anil Kumble celebrates the crucial wicket of Adam Gilchrist for 49 yesterday.

Australia 150/4 at stumps on day 3, a lead of nine runs
Australia's hopes of taking a 2-0 lead in pursuit of a coveted series win in India may have slipped through their fingers.
India are poised to win the second Test heading into day four after the tourists were made to pay heavily for their catching woes in Chennai.
Shane Warne's best bowling effort in India of 6-125 could not save his side from a daunting first-innings deficit yesterday, as Mohammad Kaif and Parthiv Patel compiled a record seventh-wicket partnership to inflame the Australian wounds from six dropped catches in the first innings. Kaif was dropped on nought and one, and Patel put down on 20, and after the pair advanced to 64 and 54 respectively, those lapses alone had cost the Australians 98 runs out of a deficit of 141.
With Kaif and Patel putting on 102 in the highest seventh-wicket stand at the Chepauk ground, India were able to scramble from 6-233 to 376 after Australia's capitulation for 235 on day one.
Australia went to stumps on day three in deep trouble at 4-150, with Damien Martyn having moved unsteadily to 19 and nightwatchman Jason Gillespie yet to score.
Still, Australia coach John Buchanan said his side hoped to compile a lead large enough to press for victory. Low scores are common in the fourth innings here, with no team having made more than 155 to win a Test at Chepauk. The comfortable way in which Kaif and Patel denied Warne and Australia's pacemen, however, suggested a lead of at least 200 was needed.
"Obviously we've lost four wickets and are only nine in front, and they're all key wickets," Buchanan said. "But where there's life there's hope. We've still got Damien out there. We've got Darren Lehmann, who is due for a score, and we know Michael Clarke's form. What we haven't been able to establish is a decent partnership, apart from the openers on Thursday. If we can get one out of the next two wickets, I honestly feel we could establish a 200 to 250 lead. If we don't, we're going to struggle."
Australia have deservedly come in for criticism over their catching display, with some doubting whether the same zeal was applied to fielding under Buchanan as during the reign of Bob Simpson, who was fanatical about working on those skills.
Buchanan denied this, saying fielding remained a priority, and that substantial work was devoted to it ahead of this tour. He said his side had suffered lapses in the trying conditions. These will only get worse as this tour of four Tests in five weeks wears on, with the last two matches expected to be played in testing heat in Nagpur and Mumbai.
"It was disappointing for everybody," Buchanan said of the catching. "That's part and parcel of being prepared for the moment here in India. The skills are there, the training's there, the quality of training has been there. It's a mental lapse at a particular moment. That's what's beaten us in this game whereas it didn't in the first game."
After dropping six catches in 10 hot and humid hours in the field, Australia found some fortune of their own as they began their second-innings challenge.
Hayden was dropped three times - twice by Patel. Riding their luck, Australia reached tea at a healthy 0-53 off 18 overs, 88 behind, but on the first ball after the break, Justin Langer drove at Kumble and edged a catch to Rahul Dravid at slip to depart for 19.
Hayden was next to fall, at 2-76, when a miscued slog sweep against Kumble resulted only in a lofted catch to V.V.S. Laxman at mid-on. Katich kept out the spinners for nine runs, but the reintroduction of pace in Zaheer spelled his demise, as he fell lbw to a skidding quick ball.
Adam Gilchrist had moved up from No.7 to take on the challenge of batting at first drop. He survived a nervous start to head towards a half-century, but was dismissed in the second-last over - bowled by an Anil Kumble wrong'un for 49.

No way, I hate crowds and standing in line to check out. There will always be sales later that you can take advantage of.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
No way, I hate crowds and standing in line to check out. There will always be sales later that you can take advantage of.
Agree with you.
The only place I am going to on Black Friday is my favorite LQS. I don't really need anything but they sell my favorite tea there and it is on sale for 40% off so I will stock up on that. I will have to see what the instore specials are!!!
No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
I agree with Sandy!!
I have to work..The clinic has lots of folks who bring the kids in, as they have a school holiday -or the folks who got sick on T Day. I hope I don't catch it. Reminder: don't sneeze on the doc!
There are a lot of us that enjoy going out. For me, it's kind of a beginning of the season ritual. I hum Christmas songs and have a good time. Normally I don't buy much but I usually get everything I want and don't have to wait in long lines to get them. There are stores that I avoid like the plague - like Toys r Us, Best Buy, etc because of the lines to get in and out but I have been very fortunate to get what I want. I don't stay out late. I only get what I want or need and then go home.
Yes, there are a lot of sales between now and Xmas and not everything Friday is a great deal but I still like to go out and shop.
I probably would have purchased my wheelie case when I was out the other day since it was on sale but I wanted to compare what the different stores carried and I was not able to return to get the style that I want. They do not sell it online or else I would have done that already. Hopefully I'll get it. I am planning to be there when that store opens so that I can also get in, get out. I cringe at the cutting table line lol so I highly doubt that I'll get anything cut unless it looks like it's moving quickly.
I do hope that those that don't like shopping on Black Friday don't feel the need to put down those of that do.
I may go out later in the day, but not setting my alarm for anything. Short story, last year some people camped out at Best Buy for a couple of days. My son wanted a new TV to mount over his fireplace. Went early afternoon, walked in and out with new TV in about 15 min. I'm thinking the people who camp do it for the party. jmho
my daughter and I will start out tonight at 8pm and shop for a few hours, then return home. I will sleep for a few hours and then head off to Kansas City at 4am for the JoAnn sales. Excluding the door buster sales, everything else can be applied towards their 25% off coupon, so the savings can be good. Don't mind the crowds. as long as everyone 'behaves' themselves....... My daughter will cook while I shop and we will celebrate with Thanksgiving dinner on Friday night. She is a nurse who always works the holdiays so others with kids can have the day off....plus it is double time pay!!!!!!!!!
Getting up early and going to Jo'anns on Black friday to stock up on batting was always a personal tradition. I bought a whole roll and was in and back out in under 20 minutes. This year I bought the batting yesterday, and not much in this years Black Friday I am interested in ... so its going to be a sleep in day for me... and look for some marathon of movies to watch as I sew.
i dont do black friday or sat shopping id rather be home sewing dont like huge crodws and long lines

Publications of
Het Apollohuis:
By the end of the 70´s, he had worked as an artist adviser for urban projects. During those years he began dealing with systematic schemes and mathematical series that he has continued to use in his work as an artist. Found objects, the use of chance, music and sound become increasingly important in his work. Since 1982, he has constructed his "Long String" installations from various types of materials (steel, brass-wire, strings, nylon, fishing-line etc.) and performed on them in concerts or exhibitions worldwide..
In 1984, he had participated in the Planum 84 Festival in Budapest. In the main hall of the Cultural Center at the Almássy Square he peformed together with Johan Goedhart a piece written for system of strings and magnetic tape with the title "Paraphrase, Hommage à Franz Liszt".

Date of Stay: March, 2008
I reviewed this park back in April 2006 and wish to retract some of what I said then. This park is now an absolute dump and should only be used as a last resort. The operator acts like he really doesn't want customers any more. He claimed to have only one spot available when he had several. We tried to take that one but it smelled so bad of sewer that we got our money back - with difficulty - and left.
Date of Stay: November, 2007
This is a very nice park and I agree with the previous ratings. However, for a park of this caliber there are a few problems that stand out. The cable TV system does not work at most sites. The WiFi - which is not free - works poorly at best. Finally, the management appears to be pulling a scam with the evening buffet at the on site casino. Even though most of the tables were empty they told us that it would be at least an hour wait to be seated. Upon park check in you get a coupon for a buy one get one free at the buffet. That sounds like a real good deal but I am afraid they are setting people up to play the slots while they do the built in wait for dinner.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
If you want to stay in a new park with a large mall right across the street, has small spaces, narrow access, no grass, no table and is noisy, this is the place. To top it off it's probably over priced. I believe there are better options in the Gilroy area.
Date of Stay: April, 2006
This used to be a KOA. It is slightly run down but it has a location that is fairly convenient to the Nashville area. It is quiet and the price is right. We stayed a week and were comfortable with it. It looked like the owner was in the process of putting in some new sites - probably with 50 amp service. This park is located about a mile east of I-65 at exit 46 and it not listed in any of the major camping directories.
Date of Stay: March, 2006
The couple who run this park are absolutely great. We checked in during a snow storm and they even came by after we got settled and asked if we needed anything. The interstate and the main line railroad tracks are far enough away so noise is not a problem.

At this week's Dubai Airshow, the Qatar Airways Cargo A330-200F freighter showed off its optimised cargo loading capabilities in style with a demonstration that utilised the latest from Mercedes-Benz' AMG product line of luxury automobiles.
Much like the A330-200F that has proven itself in cargo operations around the globe, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are characterized by their performance, quality and reliability – making them a natural partnership for the Dubai Airshow cargo loading demonstration, which has generated significant interest at the biennial industry event.
According to Andreas Hermann, Airbus Vice President, Freighters - Customer Affairs, the example of automobiles as payload also reinforces the fact that while air freight only carries 1 per cent in volume of all goods transported around the world, it is about providing a secure and reliable service for high yield products, amounting to 30 per cent in value.
The A330-200F displayed in Dubai accommodates such Mercedes-Benz vehicles as the S63 AMG luxury sedan, G63 AMG sport utility vehicle and SLS AMG sport coupe in a single row or side-by-side configuration, offering up to 31 positions on its main and lower deck.
The Mercedes-Benz display also provided a natural tie-in with the high value offering of the Airbus Corporate Jetliners – as two of these aircraft joined the A330-200F on the Dubai Airshow's aircraft exhibit line.
Since entering service in 2010, the A330-200F has demonstrated its attractiveness as a flexible, reliable and profitable freighter for the cargo operators, aircraft leasing companies and financial organisations that have ordered it around the globe. Middle East-based companies operating the A330-200F to date are Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways – both of which placed firm orders for additional aircraft during the Dubai Airshow.
