Median divides the population in half. There is no greater half. Half means half. There is above and below the median.
Median doesn't clarify who and what a household can be maintained on. The living arrangements of these households needs to be considered, as well as their debt to income ratio and any assistance received.
When you factor in all the costs that a household absorbs, I'm willing to bet that 50k is not enough. Let me know where to collect.
#27 Dec 21, 2010
Taxpayer....don't be bamboozled.....What happened to the projected $5 million school budget shortfall for the next fiscal year?....Where is this money going to come from......Early retirement? Don't be fooled you can't save money if you replace these positions and how about the health insurance premiums for these people and their spouses for time in memoriam.....OMG where are we going with this. Stop hiding the true cost of this contract.
The poor janitorial staff was left out and, believe it or not, they bought it!!!
#29 Dec 21, 2010
So then judging from your reply, you agree that you one run a household on 50k.
And that the median income of 48 is no indication that you can.
Thank you for proving my original post as being correct.

The Burg,
You really are dumb. Voter provided proof that many people in Fitchburg are running their households earning a median income of less than 50K.
By your own statements, at least half of the residents in Fitchburg are doing so...give it up.
You have lost this discussion badly and you are just digging a larger hole for yourself...you cannot win this argument because you are wrong...plain and simple.
The original discussion was about the 4 lowest step raises being deleted, and replaced by a $ 6,000 increase in salary for new teachers. The article has nothing to do with the fairness of a level of earnings for running a household.

Are you his lawyer or his lover?
#32 Dec 21, 2010
There should be some block you can place on people that bicker with each other on these boards about the most foolish points. Here's a tip that I learned in law school and I'll pass it along. It's not about who's right...it's what's right.
I'm glad a contract was negotiated. It's been a long time coming. We can only surmise what the ramifications in 10 - 20 years will be, but for the length of the contract I think it works. As long as it can be supported I am always down with giving teachers more money. People that dedicate themselves to a life of service and giving back should be taken care of.
#33 Dec 21, 2010
This is a great deal for teachers just starting out. A first year teacher will get a 17% raise. The logic of this doesn't make much sense to me, those teachers already accepted the agreed-upon pay, and will now get this windfall. This contract leaves a number of long-time teachers without any increase, which will make the teacher-bashers happy.
For the teacher bashers: if this is such a sweet deal, why don't you become teachers?
For the union and the district: why are you handing $6k to brand new teachers and nothing to many that have well paid their dues?
#34 Dec 21, 2010
We know its gets us in trouble. If the city started a stabilization fund 30 years ago our funds could get us thru these tough economic times. But we are at the point where we are trying to get thru the next 2-3 years. Ask any department head and they will tell you that they are just trying to get thru tomorrow and the next fiscal year. If the feds pay for it that is good for us. These teachers would have to be hired in 2-5 years because the 16 would be retiring then but the city would have to pay the replacements their salaries plus their step raises. Grants have a slim timeline and the city has to utilize them at every chance they get. There is no guarantee that there will be grants in 2-3 years from now. If we didn't take the grants now they will go to another city that needs them.
The city needs to be careful about giving early retirements, although the grants will pay for these. A pension is based on 80% of the employees salary. The employee funds their own pension based on a retirement of 20 years. If the live longer than the 20 years the city utilizes other deceased retired employees pensions to keep paying for the active pensions. It usually evens out as many employees and their spouses do not outlive their 20 year pension. But an early retirement without having grants involved means the employee did not have to fund 5 years of their pension they will receive aand this means there is a good chance they will outlive their contribution to their pension fund. Too many of these means in 20 years the city will have to find funds to pay the active pensions.
#35 Dec 21, 2010
Will this create dissension among old and new teachers?
The experienced teachers must have agreed upon this right?
Boy it's tough to negotiate things and please everyone isn't it.
I hope this proves to be good for all involved, including the tax payers and students.
#36 Dec 21, 2010
Please! The Feds will pay! Give me a break. Where does that money come from, the sky? Lets shift the money from this account to that account. The tax payer still gets hit. When times are tough you don't go to the boss and tell him you need a raise. Who can pull that off in the private sector. If you don't like your pay check then hit the road. Does anyone see the problem with unions? They were created to protect workers such as coal miners from getting injured or killed on the job. Now it is about $$$$$. Where will it end? We need Ronald Regan back.
#37 Dec 21, 2010
most households have two earners, not one
#38 Dec 21, 2010
Unions were very much needed back in the day, but they aren't serving the people as they once did.
They paved the way for worker rights, however labor laws pretty much cover things today as an extension of the foundation set by unions. As a union steward in the construction industry for 30 years I can tell you they are a waste of money and time in my field. The training union workers receive at their locals as apprentices can be achieved in many top trade schools today. Comparable healthcare can be obtained at many employers. And as long as you do your job and do it well you don't have to worry about losing your position at a construction company. I know there's all kinds of unions out there, but my experience has been that they are not needed today. They breed the idea that mediocrity is the benchmark for success. Go too fast and you make guys look bad, go too slow and you're not keeping up with the herd. More ex cons, drunks and drug addicts work union than non union. Non union companies don't have to put up with it. Solid outfits run a tight ship. In my local they protect guys by giving them heads up on drug tests, multiple chances for character and performance flaws and just an overall sense that you can do what you want and still get $65 an hour. I'm the biggest hypocrite because I have worked in my field and for my union for most of my life. I've become trapped by the machine and the money and the power. If I could do it over again, I would work at a tech school and teach kids the right way to be a tradesman and build their career on character and skill...not on having $500 to buy a union card and a hardhat.
#39 Dec 21, 2010
My neighbor will not take a recent job offer because she collects more on unemployment. She was making $130K a year, got layed off and collects $90K a year and gets to stay home. Why take a job at $60K a year? 13 more months of being able to collect. I think they should do a study on whom is collecting and refusing job offers and take them out of the jobless rate number. Where else can you do this only in the private sector ! Hmmmm, my taxes are paying for the paper pushers to collect ? Hmmmmm, bailouts for the big companies because their CEO's make all the money ? Where did all that money come from? The sky ? So the private sector doesn't need a union? Now I see why all the private sector workers are sad and unhappy because the harder they work the more money their bosses and owners make except they don't get anything. Too bad you are not in a union.
#40 Dec 21, 2010
Most of the teachers are already past the 3rd step increase and are already at the top step.
#41 Dec 21, 2010
Does she live in Massachusetts?
Reason I'm asking is I was told the maximum amount a person can collect on unemployment is $625 a week.
That does get adjusted slightly for each child you have, but it doesn't increase by $1100 a week I know that.
#42 Dec 21, 2010
If your neighbor lives in this state, she's not being honest with you. The most someone can collect on unemployment in Mass is half of their gross. That would bring her down to 75k a year for qualified earnings. There is also a ceiling on that number and I believe right now it's set at 32k a year for a single person. That translates to about 600 a week.

Everyone wants their kids to have great teachers, but no one wants to pay the teachers top dollar. Why don't we focus all these blogs at the companies who stole; yes stole everyones money over the last few years. Instead we rag on unions as being overpaid and corrupt which the second part becomes self fulfilling by the very nature of the corrupt companies. Every average worker across the country should be forming and joining labor unions as it is the only chance we have left to fight for good wages. Everyone should re-educate themselves to how politics works now and realize that almost every politician is a lawyer. Whets that say for politics; it has become a lawyer run society which only favors big business who can afford to pay them off. We are being brainwashed by the very people we elect.
They say lets get rid of the bad teachers. I say there is no such thing. The teachers of today were the students of yesterday. What do you think the teachers of tomorrow will look like when 70% of the kids in school today are on some kind of program. Some are on individual education plans and some are on full special education plans. Either one forces the average class of 30 students to all have preferred seating, had written notes for them, graphic organizers, aids to help them with exams; etc. So in a class of 30, about 15 of them need to sit right in front of the teacher. 5 of them need to be provided with written notes handed to them, and the other 10 are the real students who will be the "best future teachers" because any student on a plan now will certainly not be the best teacher. Thats what we imply by saying there are bad teachers out there who can't teach. It's not that they can't teach, it's that they have to waste 75% of their time providing accommodations to the students parents who won't accept their child is not up to par with other students so we give them special treatment to make it all seem equal.
Some day we will realize that every student chooses their own path and will get back to the basics of teaching reading, writing, and math, as well as basic social skills and let the students decide where they want to take themselves in life.
Stop blaming the teachers folks and support them and pay them a decent wage and the rest will take care of itself. Parent your child and stick with the relationship that created the child or take a high school class on proper use of birth protection. The problem is not in the school classroom, its at home, it's on TV, it's on the internet. We worry about seeing Janet Jacksons boob for 1 second when you can watch a girl get banged on nip tuck with a bag over her head? You can type in one nasty word on a search engine on the internet and in seconds be looking at the most graphical sexual images you can imagine. Where have our priorities gone?
Unions? Not the problem
Bad Teachers? Only at home, on TV, and the internet
Teachers overpaid? No way; they are the one smart group still out there that knows how to play politics.
#45 Dec 21, 2010
Maybe the DUA site needs to be updated.
"Claimants receive a weekly benefit of approximately 50 percent of their average weekly wage, up to the maximum set by law. The current maximum benefit rate is $625 a week."

A shared flat: well...it's a shared flat!
It is full of bars and shops really near to make life easier and you can reach the historical centre in less than 5 min walking. The university central campus is also just crossing the street. As it is in the center of Tenerife and next to the highway it is very easy to get everywhere you like in a short time. The bus station is in front of the apartment so If you are not renting a car it would be any trouble because you can get anywhere by bus.

VIDEO: Baldwin Park Maltese 'Romeo' Waits Faithfully by Partner's Side After Fatal Car Accident
ThePetCollective via YouTube
If this were China, maltese/terrier mix Romeo would be a viral sort of hero.
According to a new promo video for his adoption, the small white dog was brought into the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center a few days ago. Animal rescuers discovered him on the shoulder of the road, waiting faithfully at the side of Juliet, another maltese/terrier who'd been run over by a car. "He stayed with her the whole time..."
... says Isha Willits, a caregiver at the shelter who looks suspiciously like Romeo. "She was injured and probably dying, and he stayed by her side. Unfortunately she died on the way to the vet, [but] he lived, so he's here with us."
Now, shelter officials are hoping this display of loyalty will score him a real home with a real family in Los Angeles. "He'd cuddle with you all night," says Willits.

But almost more intriguing than Romeo and Juliet's tragic L.A. traffic saga is the quality and effectiveness of the video -- like, single-tear status.
It appears to be part of a nationwide trend toward marketing the more scraggly/visually unappealing shelter animals for their inner beauty instead. Hence the "Back in Black" campaign, aimed at pawning off unpopular dark-colored pets; hence a recent marketing drive for iPad art created by cats; and hence a new "Unadoptables" series on YouTube, which includes Romero's story.
The Pet Collective, an up-and-coming YouTube channel devoted to adorable animal videos, hosts the series. It departs from the same-old "adopt me" ads that have failed shelters for years, instead acknowledging that the Internet would rather watch zany pet bloopers like inseparable fat cats and greyhounds smacking on peanut butter. (Also, a corgi that snuffles around your undersink area until it explodes -- but the LAFD isn't signing off on that one.)
Anyway, this is PR genius, for a good cause. If Romeo can't get adopted after that finely edited Hollywood stint with Juliet on the sidewalk, he's a lost cause.

All Square Between Pools And Crawley
Pools pick up a point against Crawley Town to make it six league games without defeat.
It was a tight game at The Nothern Gas and Power Stadium and it took two penalties - one for each side - to break through two determined defences.
There was a bright start to the game here between two in-form sides. Crawley Town played some flowing, effective football and made sure the Pools defenders could not rest at all.
Pools offered their own threat going forward and it was again a little bit of Nathan Thomas magic that lead to the opening goal.
The winger cut into the box from the right, nutmegging Andre Blackman on his way, before skipping into the box. Blackman reacted by stretching out and tripping Thomas and Pools were awarded a spot kick.
Thomas, with his run of six goals in as many games firmly in mind, stepped up to take the penalty himself. His shot was well blocked by Glen Morris in the Crawley goal but Lewis Alessandra was the first to react as he ran in to head home to rebound for his first goal for the Club.
After showing what they can do at one end of the pitch, Pools spent much of the remainder of the half showing their strength at the other.
A cross in by former Pools loanee Jason Banton picked out Enzio Boldewijn at the far post but his header hit the post. Toto Nisiala got in well to block the rebound and then, as the threats kept coming, Jimmy Smith sent a third effort crashing against the post.
Scott Harrison got involved as he stole possession away from the feet of the very lively Boldewijn who forced his way into the box before Banton got in to send another effort over the bar.
As the chances kept coming for the determined visitors, Smith had a decent chance from 25 yards out but his effort was well-saved by Adam Bartlett.
Billy Clifford had a chance in the final seconds of the second half to draw his side level as the won a freekick on the very edge of the box but his chance went high and Pools took the lead into the second half.
While it was Crawley who created the more clear cut chances, Pools were solid and organised and matched their opponents with some strong defending and quick counter attacking.
The second half saw both sides enjoy spells of pressure; while Pools enjoyed the early possession, Crawley Town dominated the middle of the half.
There wasn't the same energy to the second half as we'd seen in the first but there was still some good football on display from both sides.
The equaliser came on 75 minutes as Jake Carroll flattened James Collins as the Town striker waited to collect a cross in from the right.
The experienced Collins stepped up to take the penalty himself and made no mistake as he powered it into the back of the net to make it 1-1.
Pools showed a positive reaction to the equaliser and went close to going back head as an Alessandra corner from the left picked out Nsiala who had rose highest in a crowded box but his header went just wide of the post.
Crawley hadn't settled for the point either and a Billy Clifford strike at the other end cannoned against the bar and bounced back into play and, with Collins reacting quickest, he arrived to tap home. But Scott Harrison had other ideas and somehow managed to send the striker wide with his shot - which earned him a congratulatory hug from Bartlett.
The high tempo returned to the game for the final ten minutes or so - and for the five added minutes - but it finished 1-1. While Pools have still yet to pick up a win at home, the results makes it six games unbeaten in the League for Craig Hignett's side.

It's hard to believe now, but the Phoenix Suns actually considered trading Amar'e Stoudemire to the Cavaliers at this year's trade deadline. With Phoenix having swept their way to the conference finals and Cleveland a game away from elimination in their series with the Celtics, hanging onto Stoudemire appears to have been a good short-term decision. The question now is whether Stoudemire will sign an extension with Phoenix this summer.
Kevin Durant blocks Dejounte Murray twice on one shot (VIDEO)
Kevin Durant was doing it all in the first half — he had 18 points to lead the Warriors (tied with Stephen Curry) and was making plays all over the court.
That includes racing back on this play and blocking Dejounte Murray's layup. Twice. On one shot.
The Warriors have led by 20 and been in control through the start of the third quarter. KD was at the heart of that.
Draymond Green flops to sell call, Gregg Popovich just laughs
That was a foul. Jonathan Simmons caught Draymond Green in the face as he reached in.
But the delayed then overly-dramatic reaction by Green is a classic flop.
We'll see if the NBA fined Green for this, but Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich was amused.
Spurs' LaMarcus Aldridge nails three from one knee during warmups (VIDEO)
Gregg Popovich would pull him so fast he'd look like a fidget spinner if he tried this in a game, but during warmups before Game 4 Monday night LaMarcus Aldridge knocked down a deep three from one knee.
If Aldridge is taking a lot of threes that's not a good sign for the Spurs, but we'll see if he can have a big night and keep the Spurs alive in this series.
Stephen Curry drains shots from near half court during warmups like they're layups
Stephen Curry's pregame warmups draw people into the arena early, it's a show in and of itself.
Before Game 4 Monday night, Curry was taking a couple shots from the center-court logo. And draining them. Like layups. Because he can.
We'll see if he can put on that kind of show when the game tips off.

Are All Things Worthy of Thanksgiving?
By Patricia Backora, author of the book
Tough Love in Christ's Millennium
Which you can order online from: http://www.publishamerica.com
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient (Dictionary definition: suitable for achieving a desired end): all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not (I Cor.10:23).
This is a very wise teaching. Even if you don't consider it a sin to take the occasional glass of wine, it is better to just have a Coke when you are around believers who differ with you on that issue. As Christians, the "desired end" which we wish to achieve is to edify our brothers and sisters in the faith, and to be a good example around sinners. Far better to draw their attention to the New Wine of the Holy Spirit which fills our hearts with a joy this world can never know.
The same principle would apply when you're a meat-eater eating with Christians who think it's wrong to kill animals in a society where "cruelty-free" foods are freely available. No Scripture commands you to eat meat every night, and without making unnecessary waves you can just fellowship with the vegetarian believers over their cashew nut roast as you also partake of the spiritual meat of the Word of God.
But the main thrust of that verse was not what I found shocking, it was the idea of "all things" being lawful. And that verse appears immediately after a stern warning from Paul about not partaking of "the cup of devils" and the "table of devils". How, then, can Paul seemingly contradict himself and say that "all things" are lawful? Doesn't the universal collection of "all things" in existence also include the cup of devils and the table of devils?
In reading that chapter you immediately realize you must keep the words "all things" in their proper context. The remainder of I Corinthians 10 clarifies which "all things" Paul means, those which pertain to eating and drinking. Paul wasn't talking about such things as crack cocaine being lawful for us. He wasn't talking about Ouija Boards or Tarot Cards being okay. He was talking about all things God created in the way of food and drink!
That passage alone should reassure Christians who think that Eph.5:20 commands them to give God thanks for heartbreaking illnesses, disasters and other works of satan in their lives. To thank someone for something is to accept it and give no resistance to it. But you can either thank God for something or you can thank somebody else. Who gives you temptations which can lead you to hell if you accept them and carry them out? The devil does! God would never tempt a Christian to go join some cult which promises an easier way to bliss. The devil sends such temptations, and God does not desire thanks for things which satan sends to dishonor Him. He is, however, to be thanked for sending the power of His Spirit to keep you on the Narrow Way to Life whenever you are tempted by satan to stray. In that way the Lord can get glory out of your struggle against temptation.
In Luke 20:25 Jesus says that Caesar has those things that belong to him and God has those things that belong to Him. Give Caesar (or whoever) what belongs to him, and to God what is due unto Him. If satan sends you a lemon you can sometimes make lemonade out of it. But if he sends you a temptation to go run away with your neighbor's wife, that lethal temptation did not come from God. You should always thank God for victory in trial, but you should also objectively ascertain the correct giver of the destructive elements of the trial. God is a good God and the devil is a bad devil. Thanks for every good and perfect gift is due unto the Father of Lights (James 1:17).
Are we commanded to give thanks for all things which exist in our world, without first checking to see whose trademark is on that thing, and whether it glorifies satan or God? God speaks through Jeremiah the prophet in denouncing things which are displeasing unto Him: And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance (the Land of Israel) with the carcases of their detestable and abominable THINGS (Jere.16:18). Ezekiel receives a similar word from the Lord for apostate Israel: Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable THINGS, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee, neither shall mine eye spare, neither shall I have any pity (Ezek. 5:11).
I doubt that any sane Israelite would have dared to thank God for the existence of "detestable things" in his land. God would surely not have been pleased with such a prayer of thanks!
We live under a more enlightened Covenant. There are things in existence which God still hates and considers abominable. Surely He doesn't desire that we give thanks for them, but war against them in the Spirit instead.

A rule of thumb for us is surely "could Jesus give thanks for this"? and if He could, then so can we....How we need the Spirit`s enlightenment on all things....thank you Patricia for bringing these truths to light.

ltroy04 avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 73 designs proposés par 24 designers freelance.
We are a promotions company combining models, high profile athletes and socialites into a powerful team to shape the landscape of nightlife, and social events.
We are targeting trendsetters, socialites, bar hoppers, bottle buyers, and club owners / managers. Anyone who is anyone in the nightlife scene.
This is a modern, edgy take on an old concept. Take a look at my attached design for inspiration. This logo is in use by someone else so obviously we need to make a unique logo, but that has a lot of the elements i am looking for, cleverness, modern-ness, edginess, etc. I don't really like the bow tie though, as it seems to pertain more to black tie events than nightclub parties.
This is NOT GOTHIC, nor HORROR, nor Wiley Coyote. Keep it stylish and professional.

Fire and IronMature
The opening vignette in which we are introduced to William Wandesford, and something of his current situation
"I…I do not know," he said; each syllable was excruciating, more painful than any bodily torture they'd put him through. It was the first time he'd admitted the fact that he had lost his sister, and it cost him something precious, something indefinable that pulled at his chest.
Dim blue eyes shut with the confession and he turned his thoughts instead to the room that surrounded him, seeking at least a mental distraction. It was tiny, big enough for maybe four people, and bereft of anything most people would find interesting. There wasn't even the smallest of windows; William hadn't been aware of the weather in at least a fortnight. He had already counted the thirty seven stains on the walls, of various dubious colors and origins, tried to guess what they'd come from until speculation became too gruesome for even him. He couldn't guess what color the partitions had been to begin with. The only thing about the room that changed was the dirt floor"it had soaked up copious amounts of his blood since he'd arrived and was darker now than it had been.
Blood was in his hair, too, sticky and indiscernible in the inky tangles. It left almost black marks on his crimson uniform jacket, burgundy blotches on his white pants that had stiffened into coarse patches. The captain's insignia was no longer discernible. The grime of what felt like months was caked on his skin. How long had he been here? How long since he'd been torn from his sister, heard her screaming for him to stop her, save her from herself?
"You finally speak," came a thickly accented voice from somewhere above the man's head, shattering his momentary distraction, "only to say you do not know." The voice contained a hint of surprised laughter through the foreign lilt. "William and Claire, never without each other, like little children. She cannot take care of herself? Needs her brother? And now you have lost her, is that it? This is supposed to be believable?" Now almost gentle in its tones, the taunting accusation finally caused William to look up.
The man that stood before him was deceptively slight and unimposing. Though the room was poorly lit by one tiny oil lamp, William didn't need much light to make out the man's features; the stranger was scant inches away and William could feel his breath as he spoke. Most of him was swathed in layers of dusky, light-weight fabric and he wore slippers, not boots, beneath billowing pants. He had the same bronzed skin of all his kind, dark from the desert sun, with coarse hair like pitch. His face nearly always looked angry, with the seemingly permanent glare. Sheer force of the man's personality and the subtle, skillful manipulation that lay behind the tiny build were enough to make the captain forget himself. He'd been bigger than his captor when he was 15. It was hard to feel he had a height advantage, tied up as he was.
"Yes." It was as nonspecific an answer as William could give. Let the other man decide which question he had answered.
A surprisingly deep rumble came from the dark man's chest, recognizable as laughter after a few moments before it turned into his usual sibilant hiss. William understood the noise to be part of what had earned the man his moniker--Cobra. Should the hissing laugh not be enough by way of comparison, two bejeweled, fang-like knives hung on his belt and he used them with devastating accuracy. William had been sorely mistaken in thinking they were merely for decoration, worn for show like so many fancy weapons, and would bear the scars to show his error in judgment.
Barely restraining his laughter, Cobra called out a few words in the smooth, flowing language that was his native tongue. William didn't know it, though he guessed it to be Persian; his military journeys had taken him across the Far East before. Presently another man entered the room with a creaking of the battered door, inclined his head to Cobra. They jabbered for a few moments, rapidly and without seeming concern for William at all, before Cobra began laughing again. Despite being much more intimidating physically"bald, well-muscled, and at least six and a half feet tall"the newcomer didn't have Cobra's inherent commanding presence. He gave a harsh laugh as well before speaking. William recognized it as a question despite the language barrier.
Cobra seemed to consider, wiping away a few mirthful tears from the corner of one eye. "Kill him," he said in English, "he is of no use to us now." He turned to William, serious for the moment. "It is a pity you do not know. I should have liked to have you on our side, Wandesford. I had heard you were good, and now I shall never see it with my own eyes. Perhaps I will take yours, when Atash has finished, to see through the eyes of my enemy. A prized ability, you know."
Atash nodded in mute agreement and fumbled in his deep pockets for a moment, pulling out a skinny metal rod that was perhaps a foot long. It was blackened at one end.
"You must be purified by fire and iron first, however, as our god Atar would have. It is Atash's specialty. I bid you peace, and am sorry we could not have met in better circumstances." Cobra gave an eloquent bow, cordial despite the barbarous things he'd done to William. It was his way, William had learned, and even now he couldn't help but admire the baffling formality, the well wishes through the inhumanity.
With only a look that seemed to convey pity for wasted opportunities, Cobra left the room, shaking his head.
Atash handled the long piece of metal with certainty, and William had no doubts he'd had many occasions to use it prior to the captain's incarceration. He seemed to ignore William for the time being, busying himself with the lamp in the corner; comprehension clicked in the Captain's mind"fire and oil. Purified by fire and iron. The lamp no longer seemed like an innocent source of light. Strangely, however, William was not afraid. He was blankly unconcerned for his life, his well being. Cobra had been right"he was of no use now. He had failed Claire, and would've taken his own life if he didn't feel it to be cowardly.
He hung his head and closed his eyes once more. Memories flooded back to him, unbidden, but a welcome companion of his last few moments.

I-Logix was a leading provider of Collaborative Model driven development (MDD) solutions for systems design through software development focused on real-time embedded applications. Founded in 1987, the Andover, Massachusetts-based company product line enhanced collaboration among engineers, graphically modeling the requirements, behavior, and functionality of embedded systems. In addition, I-Logix was a member of the UML Partners, a group devoted to the development of the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
I-Logix was founded in Israel as AdCad Ltd. in April 1984 by David Harel, Amir Pnueli and brothers Ido and Hagi Lachover; to develop and commercialize a tool to support statecharts and their execution. This, based on work done by David Harel at the Weizmann Institute of Science, working as a consultant for the Lavi Aircraft project, which was being developed at the time by Israel Aerospace Industries. Specifically, Harel was hired to help develop a solution for clearly designing and defining the aircraft's avionics systems; and came-up with the concept of statecharts and a tool to support their development.[1]
In 1986, the company completed the development of a software tool for statecharts called Statemate. At the heart of a Statemate model was a functional decomposition controlled by statecharts. The user could draw the statecharts and the model's other artifacts, could check and analyze them, could produce documents from them, and could manage their configurations and versions. Additionally, Statemate could fully execute statecharts. The tool could also generate from them, automatically, executable code; first in the Ada programming language and later also in the C programming language.[1][2]
In 1987, the company was re-formed as a USA entity, called I-Logix Inc., and AdCad Ltd. became its R&D branch, renamed as I-Logix Israel, Ltd.[1]
In 1996, I-Logix released Rhapsody, a tool that unlike Statemate (which is not object-oriented and is intended more for systems people and for mixed hardware/software systems), is object-oriented and is intended more for software systems.[3]
In December 1999, I-Logix raised $10m in funding from North Bridge Venture Partners and Deutsche Telekom to develop new worldwide sales channels.[4]
In 2001, I-Logix acquired the iNOTION product life-cycle management (PLM) technology from KLA-Tencor.[5]
During the 2000s the company's sales grow quickly and it became a leader in the Embedded Systems and Software Development tools market; winning customers such as General Motors,[6] Lockheed Martin (who uses the I-Logix tools in the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 program)[7] and BAE Systems (who uses the I-Logix tools in the Eurofighter Typhoon program).[8]
In March 2006, the company was acquired by Telelogic AB for $80 million and integrated as a business unit for embedded modeling, the I-Logix name ceasing to exist.[9] In turn, Telelogic AB accepted IBM's offer on April 3, 2008,[10] its products becoming part of IBM's Rational Software unit.
In 2007 the team that developed Statemate won the ACM Software System Award as:
"Statemate was the first commercial computer-aided software engineering tool to successfully overcome the challenges of complex interactive, real time computer systems, known as reactive systems. The ideas reflected in Statemate underlie many of the most powerful and widely used tools in software and systems engineering today."
Major examples of the tools I-Logix created before it was acquired, are Statemate and Rhapsody (now IBM Rational Rhapsody), both was and still used by all major Automotive and Aerospace/Defence manufacturers and suppliers. Currently under IBM management Statemate is not gaining new market, while Rhapsody tends to gain its position as a replacement.

Types of manuscripts, Data paper, Review, Idea
From Nature: Publication and the media Original research papers are assigned to an issue two weeks before publication, at which time authors will receive an e-mail notifying them of their scheduled publication date. Many papers are published online ahead of the print publication date: these authors will also be informed by e-mail when the online publication date is confirmed. All authors are informed of publication dates, whether ahead of or simultaneous with, the printed issue, on the day that Nature schedules them. A week before the publication of an issue, Nature's press office distributes a press release summarizing the content and highlighting papers of particular interest. Journalists are given the names of corresponding authors, together with phone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses. On the Friday before publication, journalists are also given online access to the full text of all papers due to appear in that issue, whether or not the paper is summarized in the press release. They are permitted to show papers to independent specialists of their own choosing a few days in advance of publication, again under embargo conditions, solely for the purpose of eliciting comments on the work described. Authors should try and be available to answer any enquiries in the days leading up to publication. Before publication, Nature's press office also informs the public information departments of all authors' institutions to allow them to prepare their own publicity. Authors and their institutions are advised to coordinate any of their own publicity with Nature's press office, in the first instance by e-mail after their paper is accepted for publication. The content of the press release and material described therein is embargoed until 1800 London time/1300 US Eastern Time on the day before publication and in all cases, authors are required to comply with Nature's pre-publicity and embargo policies.

This charcuterie and tapas bar has proven a hit to workers and shoppers in a tourist-infested byway of Carnaby Street. Like its sister restaurant, The Salt Yard in Fitzrovia, the food is based on Spanish and Italian tapas, utilising good-quality, well-sourced ingredients. This is informal dining, perfect for a light lunch of jamón and manchego or a full blowout at dinner; either way, it makes for an affordable treat. Highlights include juicy roasted scallops with cauliflower puree and Pedro Ximénez caramel; succulent confit pork belly with rosemary and cannellini beans; and tender roast guinea fowl with tarragon gnocchi. It's the kind of unfussy, well-executed, fresh-tasting cooking that the Spanish in particular seem to produce effortlessly. The charcuterie offers different hams and an Italian selection, while the cheeses run from gorgonzola to three types of aged manchego. There's a smart wine list to match the food, starting at £15 for a more than adequate Palacio 2007.
• 25 Ganton Street, W1 (Tel: 020-7494 4170), price per head £28

Two free screenings of "Queen of Katwe" could lay the foundation for a new children's film series at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
"Every now and again, I will get a request that we show a film or two that is more accessible to a younger audience," said Norm Cloutier, director of Parkside's Foreign Film Series. "We have had some very preliminary conversation about perhaps in the future putting together an entire program that would be very specifically toward a young audience. This is our first foray in that direction."
The Ugandan-based Disney film was not at all on Cloutier's radar, but he quickly came around after members of the school's Black Student Union suggested a special showing in honor of Black History Month.
"It's not a film that I think would have ever made it into our regular program; it is very much a Disney film. But I think that's a good thing in terms of its accessibility to young people," Cloutier said.
For BSU President Britney Wood, getting the film in this year's foreign film series was an important counterpoint to what people might think they know about the black experience.
"The media is flooded with films and images that depict black people in a negative light," Woods said. "As a student organization dedicated to the uplift and advancement of our people, it was important for us to provide the campus with a film that challenged the status quo."
The film is based on the true story of 10-year-old Phiona. Living in poverty in Uganda, her life takes a turn when she discovers chess and, against the odds, becomes a national champion.
But, Woods said, "Queen of Katwe is a story about more than just the game of chess. It's about the power of community, self-determination and perseverance."
And, with director Mira Nair, known for the classics "Salaam Bombay!" and "Mississippi Masala," among other films, the film isn't such a stretch for the Foreign Film Series, despite its Disney pedigree.
"It actually has a foreign film feel," Cloutier said.
"Queen of Katwe" (PG) will be shown at 7:30 tonight (Feb. 16) and 2:30 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 17) in the UW-Parkside Student Center Cinema.

Scene 12
(Gaius and merlin go to morgana's room together)
G: Right merlieen, go and check it out and i'll keep watch.
M: Ok (goes in and finds the bracelet, puts it down and walks out.
G: So what did you find?
M: What do you mean? I haven't gone in yet!
G: Merlieen! You just went in!
M: No I didn't!
G: Whatever is in there must have some very powerful magic to make you forget it so quickly!
M: I don't understand!
G: Go and have a look!
(M goes in while G watches what he does from the door, M does the same as he did before)
G: It's that braclet!
M: What braclet? I haven't been in yet Gaius!
G: My name is Gale! merlieen watch me!
(G goes in and does what M did while M watches)
M: You're right it is that braclet!
G: Oh I've already showed you have I?
M: That must be how Morgano is keeping such a powerful spell going!
G: What are we going to do?
M: I don't know...we have to destroy it somehow but as soon as you touch it, it makes you leave the room and forget you'd been in there!
(Arthur calls for M off camera)
A: MERLIEEN! I need you to wash my dress!!!
(M looks annoyed)
G: Go to Arthur! I'll try to figure something out.
(M runs off. G gives a sincere look and sighs as ifit is hopeless and actually has no idea how they're going to do it)

It's too bad we can't have a tie for 1st or 2nd place but then that would make three programs rather than two wouldn't it?
I chose Irina Slutskaya's pro/exhibition version. She used the same music that D&W's FD opened with.
Jeff Buttle's LP very narrowly edged out D&W for my top two.
Buttle and Rochette for me.
Definitely Buttle's
What about Lipinski at the Olympic Festival. She was a 12-year-old
Wow she was so young!
Does anyone remember Surya Bonaly's Samson&Delilah ?
Yes, I was in France at the time and watched it on tv during French Nationals. I liked it and couldn't find it. I don't have that video tape anymore, it was lost when I moved back to Holland. I haven't seen this SC performance, so thanks for the link.
If anyone has that French nationals, please share somewhere. They interviewed Gusmeroli about the theme of er lp and Anissina/Peizerat talked about their FD. It was quite interesting, even though my French wasn't brilliant at the time and I only understood parts.

Jeff Buttle's name should be on that poll. Most folks gave Buttle in their reply.
Wonderful program. Thanks for providing the link, screech. I hate to say it, however, but his hunched shoulders really mar the beauty of his skating IMO. I didn't really follow his career. Was this an issue he worked hard on through ballet etc?

Joint statement on Mackerel Fishery in the North Atlantic by Maria Damanaki and Lisbeth Berg-Hansen
Joint statement on Mackerel Fishery in the North Atlantic by Maria Damanaki, European Union Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and Lisbeth Berg-Hansen, Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway
"We are deeply concerned about the irresponsible actions of Faroe Islands and Iceland in setting excessive unilateral quotas for their 2011 mackerel fisheries.
We are also deeply concerned about the Faroe Islands chartering foreign vessels to catch their unilateral quota in a clear move away from responsible, modern fisheries management.
These unilateral mackerel quotas far exceed their traditional level since 1999 and they overshoot the total catch recommended by scientists for the whole of the European fishery by almost 50%. Such an excessive exploitation poses a threat to the health of that important fish stock and it violates our common interest in a sustainable fishery.
We are committed to cooperating closely to avert further damage for the mackerel stocks in the North Atlantic, caused by the unilateral actions of Iceland and the Faroe Islands. The European Union and Norway are examining all possible options for stopping this damaging exploitation. We intend to coordinate our actions.
We call on Iceland and the Faroe Islands to return to the negotiating table with a constructive approach and to agree on common fishery arrangements for 2012 that are responsible and sustainable."

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Kelly Kettle – Great stove idea
May 30, 2006 at 7:07 pm #1218691
Leave it too Lee Valley Tools to find something totally freekin' cool!!!! Has anyone ever heard of a Kelly Kettle?! Apparently they have been around forever. It's a double-walled kettle with chimney in the center. Hard to explain… easy to understand when you see it…
Wow!!! Brilliant! If only they made a 16 oz version out of Ti!!! I mean… all most of us lightweighters use a stove for is to heat water… we don't need an open top vessel for cooking.
I've been racking my brain trying to think how to build something like this… but I'm coming up empty… so I put it to the group :)
Here's the Lee Valley Tools page for the Kelly Kettle.May 30, 2006 at 7:31 pm #1357208

@pjLocale: LazyBoy in my Den - miss the forest
Have one – the smaller size. Relatively heavy and takes up a bit of space in the pack. Plenty of fuel everywhere. Small twigs (easy to cut using pruning shears – borrowed this idea from Dr.J), pine cones, dry leaves. Never timed heating water. Only used mine a few times. Heard about it from Dr.J who apparently likes his.May 31, 2006 at 3:08 pm #1357248

Yeah, David, These puppies HAVE been around forever. You used to be able to get them (maybe still can)in N. Africa where they are called 'volcanos' and are made of tinned copper – and soldered with lead, of course.
If you are experimental and good with metal, I'll bet you could make one with aluminum using rolled seams sealed with food-grade rubber adhesive – like a tin can. Temperatures would be within its operating range as long as the kettle never went dry.May 31, 2006 at 5:11 pm #1357257
It is a brilliant design idea… but I'm not as excited about it now as I was last night… I just realized that with this type of stove… I would lose all the multi-use capabilities of my beer can stove… I'd lose my cereal bowl, tea cup and water pail!!! Can't have that. I like my 4-in-1 stove :)May 31, 2006 at 5:49 pm #1357260
Jason KlassMember
@jasonklassLocale: Parker, CO
Good point David! Besides, it's waaaay too heavy. I agree, clever design but impractical.Jun 3, 2006 at 5:32 am #1357408
Oh… I would never use it as is. I think you could cut some weight off of it… the first things that come to mind are the cork, chain and heavy bail and wooden handle… but it would still be heavy… unless you wanted to go one step further and cut 1/4 right off the top of the thing… but that might compomise the sturdiness of the pot. My thought was more about… this is a neat idea… I wonder if we can use this idea to build something similar that is lighter in weight.Jun 3, 2006 at 5:45 pm #1357418
Franco DarioliBPL Member
@francoLocale: Tarptent
Great idea. I have used a version of the Kelly in NZ for car camping, it was ,from memory, at least a 1.5L possibly a 2L version. It was fast and efficient, came to a roaring boil in five minutes or so (?) with not much more than a few twigs.
Someone should make a titanium version, around 700ml (24oz) capacity. I think that the walls could be rather thin providing there is water inside at all times.For freezer bag cooking it could be ideal on a 5 to 10 day cold weather trip. Can someone work out the weight required to be more efficient than canister or alcohol stoves? ( for 2 people, around 6 pints per day)

Ryan JordanAdmin
@ryanLocale: Rocky Mountains
I love the Kelly Kettle. Mine has a 16 oz reservoir, and the kettle itself weighs about (stock weight) is 20 ounces. If you hack off the chain, cork, and handle, you end up at around 18 ounces.
But you have to add back some wire for a handle and a piece of wire to replace the chain. I've used piano wire (total added back is 0.2 oz). These two pieces are useful for pouring water out of the kettle, and of course, toting it around.
The main disadvantage of the KK is the volume. It's big and takes a lot of room in the pack. But heck, most of us have room to spare in our packs, so…not a huge deal.
The KK will be featured in BPL's upcoming Wood Stove Review Summary which will appear later this summer, alongside a whole bunch of other wood stove designs, all of them commercially available.
Of the entire lot that is being tested, the KK far and away uses (1) the least amount of fuel, (2) burns wood most efficiently (ie to ash), and (3) burns the most different types of wood efficiently. I think it's the best designed wood cooker available for really crappy, wet, fuel sources. 3-5 minute boil times per pint are not at all unreasonable with the KK.
If it wasn't so darned big, and heavy, I'd consider taking it on my Arctic trek. However, I'm in need of something more compact and that will work with a conventional pot that will hold more prodigious quantities of food, which of course, the KK can't do – it's strictly a water boiler.
So instead, I'll be taking a 4 oz double wall, stainless wood gas stove that nests nicely into a 0.9L Snowpeak ti pot that is nearly as efficient as the KK but a whole lot lighter and smaller. More on that one soon enough, but here it is in action:Jun 5, 2006 at 2:36 pm #1357489

From what I can make out in the photo the stove looks remarkably like the now defunct BushBuddy CookStove, a commercial attempt in 1999 at bringing the inverted downdraft gassifier wood burning stove to hikers. It just looks a little stumpy for an inverted downdraft gassifier (woodgas stove) though. How exactly is there enough depth to the stove to allow the wood to gassify? I'm very curious about this stove.Jun 6, 2006 at 12:15 pm #1357559
Nice catch, the stove does appear to have similar physical designs as that 500 series. However, if you notice the stand is different from the pick that… however that doesn't mean someone, somewhere hasn't resurrected the device.
I, too, am curious to stumpy's ability to truly gassify wood… but maybe combine with a vortexing airflow (though it doesn't appear to sport such) it does gassify. Or, maybe it simply partially gassifies in order to achieve better combustion effeciency than a normal stove, though not as effecient as a true IDDWG stove.Jun 8, 2006 at 3:32 am #1357664

Actually, Ryan had us look at that one. Um … YOU try welding or seam-rolling titanium! This is NOT a metal you can easily play around with. Sigh.Jun 8, 2006 at 4:19 am #1357666

I have played with round wood stoves but I wanted one I could fold flat. A Titanium version of what ever is in the pictire would not be that hard to make. To bad the picture doesn't show more detail or I might show you how easy it would be to make one out of Titanium.
It is just like working with Cuben Fiber. Just think a little and work around its negatives.Jun 8, 2006 at 7:56 am #1357677

I have used the smaller one on wilderness canoe trips into the Canadian bush for several years and have been quite please until last year. We were in the transition zone for the tundra and it rained every day. The river was severely flooded. It was hard to find dry land. Everything was wet. It was extremely difficult to find dry wood. Even the dead stuff standing was wet all the way through. The only way you could start a fire was by splitting wood to get to the center. My kettle was useless for most of the trip. I now recommend having a backup.Jun 9, 2006 at 5:20 pm #1357765

It says on the arctic 1000 website that RJ's wood stove is a custon bushbuddy stove
I have one question, It says in the description on the previous page that it is a double wall wood gas stove. What dose "Double wall" mean, it cant be like double wall in an alc. stoveJun 20, 2006 at 6:52 am #1358250

@jhamLocale: Southwest
That's the picture of what Ryan ended up with. What Ryan was asking Roger and I to create would be a "kelly kettle"-like stove. This would have the "stove" part, which would have been easy enough to make, but it would also have an incorporated "pot" like the kelly kettle in the first post of this thread. It would therefore need to be water tight. I don't think this would be easy to create without ti welding experience.

I,m taking two hours to run 11 miles. I feel good to be able to this but is this too embarrassing to post on here?
If it makes you feel good it really doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.
agree with Screampillar, you are out running what does it matter if you take an hour or two. You are out and enjoying it rather then sitting on the sofa.
It seems fine to me, plenty on here faster, but plenty slower too.
I really wouldn't worry about the 2 hours, instead be delighted and proud of the 11 miles.
As Daeve said, someone will always be faster than you and someone will always be slower. Enjoy the running and post on here!
Thank you all!
If it makes you feel better samsunguser it takes me 2 hours to 'run' 10 miles, like the others have said, yes, there are faster but plenty slower and many (many) more that will never run for 11 miles!
You can run 11 god-damned miles! That's almost certainly at least 10.75 miles further than your average slob! Pay yourself on the back!
And you're not slow either. Perfectly respectable.
I couldn't do 11 miles at this stage...well done for just going the distance!
I'm with everyone else, YOU CAN RUN 11 MILES!!!!!!!!!! That's a great achievement
Yippee thank you. It's taken me ages to get to this stage for one niggle or another but I've persevered! I think I just read the posts on here about peeps trying to get a half marathon ioh half the time I do 11 and think yikes I'm not as good as I thought I was. I guess personally I'm always going to do my little victory dance in my mind when I do that little bit further and that's all I need.
A big thank you for returned posts.
Wish you all well.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, even though New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin claims that he expected Hakeem Nicks to show up for OTA's, a source close to Nicks says that he told the Giants he wouldn't be showing up.
Per a source with knowledge of Nicks' situation, the first-round pick who's entering the final year of his rookie deal told the team he wouldn't be present for optional offseason workouts. Coach Tom Coughlin, however, claims he wasn't informed that Nicks would be choosing not to participate.
And while sources close to Nicks continue to insist the absence has nothing to do with his current contract, there's a chance (in our view) that Nicks wants to protect himself against the kind of injury that could undermine or obliterate his ability to cash in come 2014.
I believe Nick's absence is due to him not wanting to risk injury, but the fact of the matter is that he has to show up for this month's mandatory mini-camp as well as training camp in August and he can suffer and injury at any time. If he misses the Giants mini-camp or training camp, he'll likely be fined since he's under contract.
