More of a corner burger and beer joint than a beer mecca, but it has its good points. This is one of the few places in Bellevue that has evolved over time into something of an institution. Its a little corner spot, neighborhoody, though its perched on the edge of the new skyscraping downtown. Its definitely been there for a while. Even outside, you know its been the same thing for decades. You walk in past a collage of candid snapshots of customers. Theres that good old 70s American suburban carpenty on display, stained 2x4s serving as mini-walls that homeowners back then called "dividers." Inside, there are tight little phalanxes of booths and tables, and, like the parking lot, theyre packed. The light is low, the globes on the fixtures I think were in some cases probably colored amber. You are transported in so many ways to the interior design principles prevalent during the Ford administration. For some of us, this is intensely nostalgic, so Im saying these things by way of recommending the place. Though it does pain me, thinking of the collective sacrifice made by all the baby naugas, giving their hydes to cloth the tables. This place is all about the burgers. They have a few other things they fry, plus probably another menu item here and there. But they have about ten burgers, and theyre good $9 pub burgers. The buns came from a bag, but everything else tastes pretty fresh. And besides, if they put the burgers on fancy buns and upped the price a buck, though, it would ruin everything, so theyre right to stick with the bagged buns. The beers arent fancy. Well, unless you think Stella Artois and Mac and Jacks are fancy. I have great affection for time-honored friendly low-key places with burgers and beers, and this place certainly qualifies. Ill be back.

Sports Bar with some decent local and national crafts (and some SAB / AB / Coors) 21 and over please. Been going into this place for over 3 years, so if this review sounds biased, I will attempt to be as neutral as possible. Entrance, during the warmer months there is seating for well around 30 or so, else its vacant. Parking is good for around 20 or so, but there is available public parking nearby. Wait times are on average, 10 - 15 minutes, during the more popular sports months, or during dinner hour. Seating at the bar is open to all who can find one. Seating at a table / booth is per number of people only (so if your with yourself and another you get a table for 2 and not for 4). Beer selection, changes from Pyramid to Georgetown, from Sierra Nevada to Deschutes, while still dedicated lines of Elysian / Diamon Knot IPA as well as Widmer Hefe as well as Stone Arrogant Bastard. Food is pub grub (hamburgers, roast beef dip, salads, & nachos, etc.) Overall, a nice sports bar that is a little cozy, but guranteed to find at least one non local macro (Redhook, Pyramid). Cheers

By Maximo Park
Maximo Park need very little introduction - to have missed the success of their debut album, A Certain Trigger, full of their own self-styled indie, would be a miracle. The new single, "Books from Boxes" comes from their 'difficult second album' released this year.
While not having got my mitts on the new album, it's thankfully true that the single absolutely avoids all of the criticisms that could be aimed at it. The Maximo Park trademarks are still gloriously present: Books from Boxes boasts the same huge number of hooks as any of the beloved A Certain Trigger tracks, as well as the charming quaintness they possessed. There is no seismic movement towards the commercial or more accessible. Neither is it stuck in the rut of repetition - they seem rather to have progressed towards a more mature and sage Maximo Park, with an even more definite air of the beautiful melancholy that was previously only hinted at. Think an even more desperate and disenchanted version of "The Coast Is Always Changing" and with a little more counterpoint, and that will give a fair idea of "Books from Boxes".
I could rave incessantly merely in reaction to the broken chord intro, which is a fantastic moment of melodic genius from Duncan Lloyd - a gorgeous musical statement despite, or arguably largely due to, its simplicity. The keyboard part is much less invasive than in the older material, also infected by a certain wisdom which certainly pervaded the joyfully raucous licks of "A Certain Trigger". Lyrically, Paul Smith's vocals have as much authority and bright little turns of phrase as ever, and show no embarrassing signs of the 'second album syndrome' whatsoever.
The change of feel in the middle 8 is executed flawlessly, and the contrast of the pragmatic lyrics and positive instrumental parts to the plaintive tone of the chorus makes the return to the chorus hook all the more poignant.
There's a distinct lack of points to criticise in "Books from Boxes" (making my task here entirely obsolete!); that is, apart from the fact that its inexhaustible charm means it's easy to keep pressing that repeat button and neglect the rest of your record collection.

Good single but personally the album is not as daring and a little too well formed. Me thinks a bigger budget and more time has reduced some of urgency.

Photoluminescence and Raman spectra have been used to characterize the properties of diamond films grown by microwave plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition. Measurements at 77 K and excitation wavelengths in the range 476.5 nm to 514.5 nm show the presence of two components, A and B, in the Raman spectrum in addition to the diamond Raman line. The A and B components are rather similar in appearance and show resonant Raman behaviour. Electron irradiation results in the removal of the A and B Raman components, but they return to their original strength after after heating at 600 degrees C. The Raman scattering species interact with other point defects in the CVD films during heat treatment, and may be related to the presence of silicon in the diamond film.

text: NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of directors of Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG) declared a 3.6% increase in the company's common stock dividend today. PSEG has paid annual dividends on an uninterrupted basis since 1907. The board increased the quarterly dividend to 35.5 cents per share, a 3.6% increase over the company's existing quarterly dividend rate of 34.25 cents per share. The first dividend in 2012 is payable on March 31, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 9, 2012. The board's action increases the indicated annual common stock dividend rate to $1.42 per share from $1.37 per share. The board's action also represents a revision of the company's dividend payout policy from its prior stated goal of paying out 40% - 50% of earnings as dividends to a policy that pays out a greater percentage of earnings as dividends with an expectation for future dividend growth. Ralph Izzo, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased to be able to increase the cash return to our shareholders. The dividend increase represents a re-set of our annual dividend rate. Our balance sheet has been strengthened, and our cash flow remains strong. In addition, the contribution to earnings from our more stable, regulated business has grown as a percent of earnings, and is expected to continue to grow. We made progress on our operational, capital investment and financial goals in 2011 which along with continued cash flow in our generation business should provide the support for future growth in the dividend. Growth would be in line with expectations for improvement in our regulated cash flow." All future changes in the common stock dividend are subject to board approval.

A day after junior All-American Victor Oladipo announced he would forgo his senior season and declare for the 2013 NBA Draft, Indiana is expected to lose another All-American early to the NBA. Sophomore Cody Zeller, according to reports by Bob Kravitz and Dustin Dopirak, will forgo his final two seasons of eligibility and enter the 2013 NBA Draft. The announcement is expected to take place at approximately 4:10 p.m. at Assembly Hall and will be shown live on IUHoosiers.com. An IU spokesperson said the press conference will discuss Zeller's "future plans," the same wording used leading up to Oladipo's announcement. Zeller is projected as a lottery pick in several mock drafts, with DraftExpress.com ranking him as the No. 6 overall prospect. The 7-foot big man was a second team AP All-American and averaged 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks and shot 56.2 percent from the field as a sophomore. Zeller's departure means that Indiana is now at 14 scholarship players for the 2013-2014...

The mini skirt. Claimed to be invented by Mary Quant in London, and premiered around 1964, this now iconic skirt style has become both the symbol of fashion in the 60s and an image of a youth-oriented fashion, still alive today. But while Mary Quant was creating her version in London, so was Pierre Cardin in Paris, surrounded by many other designers that, along with him, created newer, fresher fashionable styles, filled with the livelihood of a younger generation born in the offset of the war. Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, Sonia Rykiel… they were all members of the new innovative class of fashion designers that emerged in Paris during the decade, reshaping the decades-old couture scene in France, and reviving—refashioning—the city. This new livelihood is precisely what Paris Refashioned, 1957–68, on view on the main gallery in the Museum at FIT until this Sunday, April 15, explores.
A few days ago, Vanity Fair revealed a new cover story on Emma Watson, Rebel Belle. Included in the feature is a photo that sparked controversy for Emma Watson's feminism and that, in my opinion, uncovers one of the main debates around feminism today.
In the photo, shot by Tim Walker, Watson wears a white crocheted bolero jacket, thrown open over her shoulders, half-revealing her breasts. To many, posing seminude in a widely-spread magazine was a clear antithesis to the feminist standards she so much proclaims to follow; it was nothing more than a hypocritical action, revealing how bad of a feminist she actually was.
Fashion. If you've been reading along for the past year or so, it might be quite evident that what fascinates me the most about fashion is its capacity of communication: through our choices of clothing we send messages to the world about who we are, what we think, how we view the world. But fashion—the clothes we wear—is also about reinvention. In moments of change, fashion and self-fashioning are among the main tools used for the creation and expression of our new identities.
Sara Berman's closet, now on view at the Met Museum, reveals the story of her life and her reinvention as a woman.
March 8th. International woman's day.
For some reason, likely related to the infallible power of the patriarchy that brought me up, this day brings the vague memory of the strange tradition, celebrated for the first time in my childhood: roses, cheesy words, empty phrases about female power. A tradition that, several years ago, I decided to forget, despite the yearly messages I get from my mom:
I know you don't like it, but happy women's day! [Picture of a rose with some cheesy quote about feminine beauty]
It's not that I don't like it, ma. I just refuse to celebrate this day if we are going to limit it to the superficial and the ephemeral beauty of the rose.
My relationship with fashion dates back to the early childhood. Dressed in floral ensembles with glittery boots of matching colours, a tiny bow decorating the bob haircut I—to the horror of my mother—had insisted on getting, I daydreamed about becoming like the empowered, stylish woman that brought me up: always immaculately dressed with pastel-coloured pantsuits, sky-high heels, and long curls framing the beautiful smile that still manages to comfort me more than anything else in the world. The early ensembles were often replaced by full-skirted dresses for special occasions; later, and more permanently, by outfits made up of cropped tops, bell-bottom jeans, and 5-inch platforms; and eventually by pussy-bow shirts, culottes, and floral Gucci slippers. As I grew, the ways I fashioned myself changed, but one thing remained constant: the sense of empowerment that I give myself with clothes.
The "garçonne" in Colombia, according to the archives of "Fotografía Rodríguez" at the Piloto Public Library
As a fashion historian, one of the questions I find repeatedly asking myself has to do with the truthfulness of representations of costume in Latin America before the invention of photography. Although, until relatively recently, posing for a photo included a very delicate selection of the outfit—and it continues to be the case for some occasions—we can assert that the clothes that appear in a photograph are real: they are much more than the idealized product of an artist's imagination, which, quite undoubtedly, is trained to show the power of the sitter through a series of visual codes, or a perfected copy of the European model, to which the American character is added.

Lena: Oops...
My thick army boots get caught on a nail and I trip with a little shriek. Mark catches me before I hit the ground and I scowl at him. The entire place starts filling up with cyborgs and human soldiers and Bray jumps down from the wall, excited to fight. Everyone gets out their weapons and begin shedding blood...and metal. I jump up, a blade in each hand, and bring it down on a soldiers head, blood gushing out and squirting on my face. I spin around and kick a cyborg in his metal head, pushing him back a few steps. How annoying.
"Lena! Watch what your doing!"
"What?" I glance over at Mike and he shoots the cyborg with his plasma gun.
"You almost chopped my head off!"
"Then watch where your going, you stupid tiny human!"
"Tiny? Your the short one here!" I stop in mid fight, and glare at him.
"I am NOT short!" I throw one of my two blades at him in anger but he deflects it easily. "Attack the soldiers, not me!" At that moment a giant mechanical beast comes at us. It had to be at least 20 feet tall. The giant cyborg punches the ground between Mike and I, causing a giant dent in the ground. I quickly jump on its arm and run up to its head, trying to slice it open. Meanwhile, Mike was shooting at its eyes, one of its weakest spots. The bullets just bounced off. I try to stab it but my blade breaks with the force. The giant cyborg picks up Mike and shacks him violently while throwing me against the hard brick wall. I land on the ground, pain thriving through my arm. Mark starts running towards it but the cyborg throws Mike at him and they both go flying. The cyborg starts heading towards Bray who is still fighting off the human soldiers, not paying attention to the big guy.

Chapter Eleven part oneMature
Chapter Eleven
Zoe had been grateful to stay in the same caravan as Mira. She really wasn't ready to deal with Rowan anytime soon. She had no clue where Glenn was but she assumed he'd gone back to the other caravan. Or made another friend to bunk with. She looked down and saw the crumpled state of her cloths and muttered darkly to herself. She went through to the kitchen bit to find Mira heating up food. And sitting on a chair was a pile of neat cloths.
"I had to guess your measurements but if they're too big or small let me know. It's be easier if I got Elrik to measure you in person. I should probably get him to make stuff for Glenn and Wendy too," Mira explained as she flipped a pancake.
"Oh god, I completely forgot about Wendy!" Zoe exclaimed, it was only Mira's gentle laughing that calmed her down.
"Wendy chose to stay here. Leon seems to be quite enamored with her," Mira said and Zoe felt her eyebrows shoot up before grabbing a plate.
"I'll make my own," Zoe said and Mira tutted. Handing Zoe the plate already stacked with pancakes.
"But-" Zoe started.
"Eat. You got a long day ahead. Meeting Elrik, helping with the packing away and heading to the next place. And Caric wants to start experimenting to see if you or Glenn can do anything," Mira said. Zoe would've protested more except that Mira seemed pretty determined.
"Fine," Zoe muttered before digging into her pancakes. She tried to remember the last time her mother had made her breakfast. She couldn't. Zoe quickly showered and dressed in the new cloths They were a little loose so she borrowed a belt from Mira. Simple jeans and T-shirt. Zoe didn't complain though as she breathed in the fresh linen smell. Zoe shoved her other cloths into the washer and headed back to the second bedroom - Mira has a bigger caravan. She glanced at the jumper she'd folded up and glanced outside. It was still spitting miserably outside and she knew she wouldn't be able to squeeze into a jacket or jumper of Mira. Unfortunately Zoe was cursed to be tall, lanky and worryingly thin. She pulled the jumper on with a inward groan, making herself ignore the musky scent it gave off. It may have been clean but it seemed to a certain extent, Rowan's smell was ingrained on the fabric.
Zoe shook the thoughts away and followed Mira outside. Seeing that the downpour of the rain was already starting to increase. Zoe was dripping water from her hair and shivering violently by the time they'd ran to a separate caravan. There were no more tents up, they'd all been packed away by this point. It was mostly tidying of the fields that had to be carried out now. Mira didn't look too happy either, her hair becoming frizzy from the rainfall. Somehow Zoe found the knowledge that even Mira could look less perfect a relief. She was beginning to worry she and Glenn stood out like sore thumbs looks-wise.
"Elrik?" Mira called, her hands trying to flatten the untameable mess her hair had become.
"Back here!" a male voice Zoe recognised called. She followed Mira through the kitchen to the living room that was basically disorganised chaos. Different folds of fabric were strewn about the place as well as sequin. She saw random rolls of different coloured thread lying around. Upon glancing back saw rolls of satin and delicate lace bursting from a kitchen drawer. She wondered if he actually had any food stored around here. From behind a rack bursting with hanging clothing articles the guy emerged and Zoe realised why she recognised him.

Rhoades Bulding Products bought the stores, which had been owned by Ned Jennings for 22 years.
New owner Chris Rhoades already owns the H.F. Pinkham stores in Milbridge and Machias and another building supply company in Ellsworth.
He plans to change the name of all the stores including the Granville locations to Rhoades Building Products.
Governor John Baldacci says he hopes Rhoades will inspire others to do business here in Maine.
Rhoades says he'll keep the eighty employees who now work at the two Granville locations.
He also hopes to add thirty to forty more jobs soon.

Learn something all the time! Provided the mind retains what's learned. Since I belong to a couple of other Yahoo groups it probably skipped over my head. I figured Yahoo probably required being a member for a post to go through. That's probably their intention :). I only use the Yahoo archives to check on missing text or to reply/comment on something (as now). That keeps the message visually as a reply under threads in the layout. No biggie.

DJ Fucked-Up is an artist of unmatched audial subtlety and a performer shrouded in a veil of mystery. Our investigations reveal he began his career as Daniel Heimenfrost, a genius with wind instruments. He achieved international notoriety for his performance of "Orificial Sacrifice," which saw him stretch his musical boundaries and those of the audience too. Since pioneering the practice of alternate air sourcing for woodwinds, he has taken a back seat to a new generation of conductors and started on the bottom rung of a DJ career. (OK, we made that up.) But you won't find this maestro behind any normal pair of decks. Look for his home-built monster musical erections in person. The soft and fluttery music he tickles out is a pleasure to hear. Not! DJ Fucked-Up makes unimaginably horrific noise, the kind of thing that would make most people rather listen to a jackhammer through earbuds. But you're not most people, are you?

Randall: Decisions
Facts are easier than people. They're cold, hard, undeniable. They don't change, or expect you to change. They just are. I suppose I've known this all along; the only thing that stopped me from really truly believing it was the tiniest possibility that I could be different.
Since I made the decision to stay me, to forget about trying to be someone other than me, everything suddenly seemed much more simple. But now this... I look down at the paper in my hand. It's an opportunity. An opportunity to be me, properly me, and be accepted as me.
So why am I holding back? This place has nothing for me. Nothing.
But I suppose what it is... It's the competitive side of me. Not that I'm particularly competitive, it must be said. But still... I don't want to leave this case, not like it is now. Maybe afterwards. Maybe when I can see, when I can show that I'm not running away, that I'm simply making a decision for the best.
That feels better. I don't like being torn between two options. I like having one path, and knowing exactly what to do. Which I do now. I get up quickly. There's no point sitting in my office. Alannah said the techies are trying to break the voice encryption, while working out exactly which phone was used to make the ransom demands. Well, I can try and help, can't I?
I'm just about to leave my office when Mendrick comes in. If I could read his facial expressions better, I might be able to tell what he's about to say to me. Charlie's standing half beside, half behind him.
'They finally found out which goddamn phone they used,' she states.
I nod, interested.
'It was yours.'

Most people have probably heard the phrase "gild the lily," meaning to unnecessary ornament — to over embellish.
Gilding is something I try to avoid in newspaper work. To empathize that I started to say something along the lines of how I like to, as much as possible, work within the parameters Sgt. Joe Friday of "Dragnet" fame set up when he said "Just the facts, ma'am." However, in reality, Friday never said that, so for me to say that would be somewhat akin to gilding the lily myself.
See Also
By the way, there are a lot of things people supposedly said that they never did. Sherlock Homes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson," Oliver Twist never said, "Please sir, can I have some more?" and no one in the movie "Casablanca" ever uttered the words "Play it again, Sam."
On top of that, my second cousin once removed on my mother's side, Lyndon Earl Bailey, while acting as his own defense counsel while being tried on the charge of using dynamite for bait while fishing in the swamp, never said, "Only about half the lies that DNR man told about me are true." But that's what the judge, who had unfortunately lost his hearing because his boat was only a few yards from Lyndon Earl's when the alleged crime occurred, thought he said.
Anyway, back to the subject of gilding. Sometimes I get press releases from people who can paint on descriptive terms about as thickly as Tammy Faye Bakker's makeup technician could trowel on the grease paint.
Here's one with the name changed to protect the guilty. "The Knot, Bark and Cull Lumber Company announced today a series of repositioning actions that will further reduce expenses and improve efficiency across the company while maintaining its unique capabilities to serve clients, especially in emerging markets. These actions will result in increased business efficiency, streamlined operations and an optimized..."
What this person was trying to say, without actually saying it, was that the company was laying people off. You'd either have to be a mind reader or an expert in corporate double-talk to figure that out. That's the problem with gilding lilies or anything else; it makes it nearly impossible to get to the meat of the matter.
That being said, it is not only lilies and words that can be gilded, food can too — even hotdogs.
And since Labor Day approaching, and Labor Day is a good time to eat hotdogs, I was disturbed when I saw a publication recently that suggested gilding hotdogs in an attempt to turn them into, I suppose, some sort of gourmet entrée.
Recipes included the Latin dog, which was garnished with avocado, corn kernels and cilantro; the Southern wienie, topped with mayonnaise, diced pimentos, pickles and barbecue sauce; and an Asian frankfurter complete with cucumbers, carrots, soy sauce and sriracha (whatever that is).
I don't know anybody who doesn't like to spiff things up once in a while. Even me. Last week I wore socks that matched every day. But lets get a grip here, we are talking about hotdogs and Labor Day, not smoked Spam and Sadie Hawkins Day. I know, we all used to get gilded up every year for that, but Labor Day is meant for relaxing and being casual.
As I see it the only real purpose in eating a hotdog is so you can taste the hotdog. It's not like they are good for you or something. At least not until somebody starts marketing free-range, organic ones.
As a matter of fact I read once that the three worst foods for humans are potato chips, doughnuts and hotdogs. I don't know how filling-station microwave burritos didn't get on the list. But we are not talking about gas station cuisine, we are talking about hotdogs, and I say if you are going to eat one, or several, do it the right way.
Grill them until they are a bit black and crusty on the outside but there is still some juice inside. Plop them in a bun, smear on a little mustard, ketchup if you absolutely have to. Then sit back in anticipation of what you are about to experience. Inhale deeply to take in the hotdog aroma, smile and take a bite, chew it up slowly, swallow it down, drip a little mustard on your shirt and wash it down with something cold and refreshing — repeat. But whatever you do when you bite into it make sure you can taste the dog not the gild.
I say that without really knowing what the flavor of gild is, but I do know this, if it is anything like a series of tastes that will further disguise and efficiently mask, across the length of the product, the flavor of the wienie while obscuring and diluting its unique capabilities to create true culinary pleasure in the mouths of discerning diners, even Oliver Twist wouldn't have asked for more.

The Grange Bracknell Hotel is right in the middle of Bracknell Town Centre, near Windsor. We stayed there with several children as we were visiting Legoland, which was a few miles away. I usually find something negative in my reviews, but in this case, only the location of the hotel let it down. The hotel is slap bang in the middle of the 1960's style shopping centre, and the views do not offer more than a "concrete city" feel.

SYDNEY (AFP) – Violent discipline was an acceptable part of life at a yoga ashram in Australia where a young girl was allegedly raped by the founder of an international yoga movement, an inquiry has heard.
Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse began probing the Mangrove Mountain ashram this week, after earlier hearings into abuse within the Catholic Church, Salvation Army and other organisations.
The ashram north of Sydney was founded by a disciple of the Indian guru who established the Satyananda Yoga movement which helped spread the practice around the world.
The inquiry heard from a woman on Thursday who said as a seven-year-old in the 1970s she was subjected to an initiation in which she was stripped naked and held down.
The skin between her breasts was cut by a swami who then licked the blood and raped her.
"The ashram was the kind of place that if you scream, no one comes," she said.

The hot air emitted from almost a century of White House Correspondents' Association Dinners has surely done its fair share to warm the Earth. So this year, Washington's journalistic community is going green. Cue the self-congratulatory pomposity.
Of course taking dramatic measures to reduce the carbon footprint of the nation's journalistic establishment is not without cost; "the most eco-friendly dinner ever hosted by the association" will cost $225 a head, up from $200 last year. Calls for attendees to offset carbon they emit on the way to the gala fit nicely with the Association's, er, shall we say affiliation with the liberal agenda.
Yes, it's all well and good that these folks want to help out the environment. But do they really need another reason to pat themselves on the backs while the President lavishes praise upon the Association and its members satisfy what the Weekly Standard describes as a "shameless and apparently indestructible need to give awards to one another, in a kind of daisy chain without end"?
In all, prices will be raised, the Association will be using paper products for the dinner, and attendees will be encouraged to carpool or buy carbon offsets.
The WHCA released this announcement on its website late last month:
...for the first time in its 96-year history, the association is taking action to reduce the carbon impact of its annual black-tie gala; these actions include using as much as possible renewable energy for the event, paper products, supplies and services that reduce the threat of global warming, deforestation, toxic wastes, hazardous chemicals and species extinction.
="This will be the most eco-friendly dinner ever hosted by the association,'' said Edwin Chen, the group's president and a Bloomberg News White House correspondent.
"And we encourage our members and guests to join in that effort, such as by car-pooling, using hybrid vehicles and, for long-distance travelers to Washington, buying carbon-offsets,'' Chen said.

Marksmen opened fire on the man at a Morrisons branch in Canterbury as he brandished the gun in the aisles.
The man, aged 32, was hit in the arm by a single shot and taken to hospital, where his condition is not believed to be life-threatening.
Police later went to the Ambassador Guest House nearby and found the body of a woman believed to be the man's partner. They refused to say how she died.
The couple are thought to have lived at the guest house in Victoria Road, described by neighbours as a "doss house" which had been the subject of numerous complaints.
The woman was named locally as Lithuanian Loreta Ralipys. She lived with boyfriend Tomas Uptas, a fruit packer in the city.
One neighbour said the woman had split up with her husband in the summer before her new lover had moved in.
Police marksmen were called to the supermarket in Ten Perch Road at around 8.40pm last night following reports of an armed man
Shopper Pamela Elvidge, 56, said she saw an unkempt man who appeared intoxicated carrying a handgun in the beer and wine aisle. He asked her to "move along, move along".
Cleaner Ms Elvidge, who was shopping with her partner, taxi driver Harry Bienkowski, 58, added: "I thought it was a toy gun. He was scruffy and was wearing an anorak. He was holding the gun under the sleeve.
"There was this almighty gunshot sound, and then the staff all told us to get out. There were about 50 to 60 people in there at the time, not many, which was just as well really," said Ms Elvidge, who lives locally.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission sent investigators to the scene but decided today there was no reason for it to carry out a separate inquiry.
Kent Police said there were treating the woman's death as suspicious, but would not comment further.

wikiHow to Become a Contract Delivery Service for the United States Postal Service
Particularly in rural areas, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will hire contract delivery services. By becoming a contract delivery service for the USPS, you sign on as an independent contractor who delivers and collects mail. You will not be an employee of the USPS, which means you won't be eligible for benefits.
1Make sure you understand the requirements associated with being a contract delivery service.
- You are required to sort mail for your route, drive to your route in your own vehicle, deliver mail to all addresses, and return to the post office at the end of your day.
2Decide if you are available to work the hours the USPS requires of you.
- As a contract delivery service, you must work Monday through Saturday. Depending on the size of your route, you can expect to work anywhere between 4 and 8 hours each day. Knowing the area that you would be working in can reduce the amount of time that it takes to complete your route.
3Complete a PS Form 5436 and mail it to the contracting officer located in your area. You can obtain a full list of contracting officers by looking in the back of Publication 33, which is titled the "Mail Transportation Contract Guide."
- By completing a PS Form 5436, you will be contacted by mail when any openings for contract delivery services in your area become available.
- The USPS requires that you must live in the county of service or an adjacent county to the one that you want to service. You also must be 21 years old to be considered for a contractor position.
- Make sure that you select the right type of route/contract when you are filling out the PS Form that you 5436. The United States Postal Service hires contract delivery services for box delivery, highway delivery, water delivery, air delivery and emergency delivery.
4Sign a contract delivery service contract before you begin work. The contract will include a complete route description, delivery schedule, and a description of the basic responsibilities associated with your job.
- Make sure that you review the contract so you understand how you will be paid. Being that you are an independent contractor, taxes will not be taken from your pay. You will be given a 1099 at the end of the year and you will be responsible for paying income tax to the Internal Revenue Service. You may need to make estimated quarterly payments to the IRS.
Community Q&A
How much do contract delivery drivers earn?wikiHow ContributorAnywhere from $12 to $16 per hour. It depends on how many bids are submitted, as well as the total contract bid amount (including vehicle expenses, etc.).
Am I responsible for lost or wrongly delivered mail?wikiHow ContributorYes. If you're supposed to deliver the mail and you don't, then you or your company is responsible for it.
Are contractors required to have worker's compensation?wikiHow ContributorSole proprietors are not required, but if you have an employee, you must contribute to worker's compensation and provide fringe benefits like sick leave and vacation days.
Unanswered Questions
Is there a limit on the age/year of car I use for delivery?
Where can I find this independent contractor application?
Where can I get a Publication 33 and a PS form 5436?
Where do I send or drop off the delivery application?

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- You will be required to pass both a background check and a drug test before the USPS can hire you as a contract delivery service. Even though you will not be an actual employee, the USPS is a government agency; which means an extensive screening process is necessary.
- It is important that you are able to carry out all the duties included in the contract that you sign with the USPS. As an independent contractor, you can be fired at any time and will not be eligible for unemployment or worker's compensation benefits.

It is located in Northumberland County, which has about 94,558 residents. Reedville is named for Captain Elijah Reed, who founded the town in 1874 when he started the menhaden fishing industry, which is still going today.
It features historic Victorian mansions built by factory owners and fishing boat captains. Main Street was known as 'Millionaire's Row,' home to wealthy fishermen who made their fortunes from the menhaden that was plentiful in the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay. The Reedville Fishermen's Museum, in the Reedville Historic District, tells the story of the menhaden fishing industry, the watermen of the Northern Neck, and the Victorian fishing village of Reedville. Self-guided walking tours of the historic district are available from the museum.
Reedville is also a significant charter-fishing center for Chesapeake bay. Don't forget to visit the local wineries.

We fell in love with this house and property as it was on the River, had its own private dock and the property was gorgeous. We wanted to share this with others so they can see the beauty in Reedville as we did. We want our guests to be pampered so we include an extensive list of amenities on-site. We hope you enjoy the house as much as we do.
Cheryl and Maurice purchased this house in 2013
This property is located off the Little Wicomico River with easy access to the Chesapeake for great fishing. Quiet neighborhood. Wonderful property to get away from it all for family reunions and quite romantic getaways.
Everything you may possibly need is on site.
I can't say enough good things about our stay at Stunning River Retreat. Cheryl and Maurice have thought of everything. They provide everything you could ever need. Their home is very comfortable and easily accommodates two families with children.
The books that they compiled for information on the area are very detailed and informative.
Thank you for going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
Go and stay and you won't be dissappointed. Everything you need is right here. So much to do at the house on a rain-day, or any-time. Kids NEVER got bored-fishing was good and it was so nice not to have to drive and put the boat in and out. Am planning on going back next year already. One word of advice though- GET YOU FISHING LICENSE BEFORE YOU START FISHING- wife and I took 4 year old for a ride the first day we put boat in water and ended up with lines in the water- cost us each $145.00. Pat had told us before that we could get a boat license for $38.00 but we were too stupid to go and do it. This allows anyone on the boat to fish. GO GET THE LICENSE before you start fishing. Ride on Pat's boat was AWESOME. Pat is a very nice man that was always happy to answer any questions- both before we came down and while we were there.
GO AND ENJOY, Craig and Sherri
This was our seventh year. We have enjoyed staying at this house relaxing on the deck. The home is large enough for eight grown man. The kitchen is well equipped and very easy to work in. The bedrooms are large and clean. The furniture is all new and well maintained. The dock has plenty of room for 4 boats. The channel is very easy to navigate even in the dark. It's only about a 20 minute boat ride to the Smith Point inlet
This is our fifth time back to Stunning River Retreat - yes, that's right, our fifth time! Obviously, I highly recommend this vacation house, not only because the house is well-equipped with countless amenities, but also because the owners, Cheryl and Maurice are an absolute delight. We were fortunate to having met them in a previous stay.
This stay was very memorable for my family and I as we had Thanksgiving dinner here. Such a delight to cook in the well-equipped/stocked kitchen. Entertainment here is plentiful, more than you can imagine. The location is very quiet and serene. The neighbors, if you do see them on a walk, are very friendly.
Upgrades are being done to this property - I cannot wait to see them, as we are already in love with this property and all that it offers as-is! We'll be back later this year. Perfect place to get away from it all and yet enjoy all the luxuries.
This was our 4th time staying at Stunning River Retreat. Maurice and Cheryl are a delight to work with. My sister, brother-in-law and husband all love the amenities this home offers. You only need to bring your clothes and food. Everything else is furnished. Entertainment abounds in this house from bicycles, fishing poles, games, electronics, pool table, basketball, corn hole, kayaks, paddle boat etc. Everything you need to keep busy is here. Kitchen is fully equipped with any pots, pans, appliances or utensils that you might need along with a great selection of spices. We brought our pontoon and thoroughly enjoyed going out just cruising the area and fishing. Crab traps are also provided by the owners if you wish to go crabbing at the dock. 2 gas grills and 1 charcoal grill are also provided. The hot tub was awesome and helped my Sis get rid of some of her aches and pains. I just enjoyed sitting under the shade tree and reading. This is a very quiet neighborhood. We always enjoy going to Chitty Chats for ice cream and make our annual trip to Crazy Crab for their to-die-for hushpuppies. We also drive in to Kilmarknock to do a little shopping in the town. And an extra touch that is oh, so nice is the bottle of wine and gift basket full of goodies that awaits you when you arrive. If you can't relax and unwind here, you can't anywhere. Super terrific vacation!! We will be back again!!
My family really enjoyed our stay, I only wish we would have stayed longer! The kitchen was very well equipped as was the game room. The house is clean and cozy and the fishing/ crabbing pier is a great way to spend some time as well.
We had a wonderful time on our annual July 4 getaway. The home was so well outfitted for guests - the best we've ever experienced. It was exceptionally clean and everything was in working order. We enjoyed all of the amenities you have available - canoe, kayaks, paddle boat, pool table, hot tub, ping pong, bikes, crabbing and fishing... so much! Even with a rainy weekend, the kids fished and just had a blast. A great rental in a lovely location!
Local attractions include: several marinas; vineyards (seasonal); fishing charters; free public car ferry (2 miles down the road); boat cruises; antiquing; golfing and numerous other activities within the Northern Neck.
Reedville is home to the award-winning Reedville Fisherman's Museum which is nestled among the quaint Victorian homes that line Main Street.
Main Street also has two of the finest waterfront restaurants featuring fresh local seafood and steaks (one offers marina services) and there's also an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Come to the river and see where paradise is hidden.

Man, can any pop stars make a video without it leaking early? Oh well!
Selena Gomez's new clip for 'Slow Down' is seriously sexy.
Man, can any pop stars make a video without it leaking early? Oh well!
Selena Gomez's new clip for 'Slow Down' is seriously sexy.
These Fifth Harmony ladies are really something. Yes, they are cute as buttons and they're songs are totally catchy, but these girls can seriously seriously carry a tune. They appeared on the 'TODAY' show this morning and performing on 'X Factor' was obviously great practice, because we sensed not even the slightest jitters from the girls.
At this point, if you're planning on going to a Rihanna concert, you know you have an hour window after the designated start time to get there.
Jay Z has accomplished a lot with his career. He's on track to beat the Beatles record for most No.1 albums, but maybe he thought there was something slowing down his progress. That dang hyphen! It's messin' with Hov's flow! So that's why Jay Z is dropping that pesky punctuation from his name.
Going through a breakup is hard whether your a pop star or just an Average Joe. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, which will air July 21 at 10PM ET on E!, Selena Gomez said her split from Justin Bieber was anything but easy.
Demi Lovato makes her directorial debut with her new 'Made in the USA' clip. Kudos to the pop star for giving her Lovatics something seriously amazing!
Word to the wise -- if you're going to see Beyonce live, you better have darn good concert etiquette. So yes, that means actually watching the concert with your eyes as opposed to watching it through a camera or smartphone.
We watched both promos for Season 3 of 'X Factor' and the only thing we gleaned out of the two short trailers was, "Did Simon Cowell finally get a sense of humor?!"
A Taylor Swift meet-and-greet contest hosted by a radio station has slowly been turned into a creep show, thanks to some Internet trolls on the website 4chan.

Looking to do some traveling in January and then going to fly back home. I would like to travel with my firearm but I need to know what to do once I get to the airport to fly home with it Or would it be better to leave it home and not have any hassle with the airline.

Much depends upon where you are going. (Avoid the anti states...) Simple travel on an airline with a sidearm is really no hassle. Get a small lockable case for your sidearm, store your ammo in its original or a plastic case.
Print out a copy of the rules...see above post for site. If still a little unsure, call the airline on which you're traveling.
Stay armed...enjoy your trip...stay safe!

If you don't have a lockable case you may consider getting one like mine. It is a metal case with a built in key lock that looks like a dictionary. I got it at Wal-Mart for under $20 and it will hold my Kahr CW9, a spare mag, my knife, and a 20rd box of ammo. Laying inside you suitcase with your clothes and stuff it looks just like a book. IMO, a little added protection from prying eyes can't hurt!
Just do some reading and basic research (this topic has been covered before)...and you should be fine.
Basically, you put your unloaded firearm in a locked hardcase INSIDE your checked baggage. Notify the ticket agent you need to check a firearm. Fill out an orange card that goes INSIDE your locked container. Secure your baggage...watch it get screened by TSA and you are good to go.
Check with the airlines as to how many guns you can check per bag. Also, you are generally allowed one box of ammo (secured in a container that is designed to hold ammo--like the original box), also secured in a locked container--sometimes with firearm, sometimes in a separate container locked in your baggage (best configuration).
That's it in a nutshell...just read the airline and TSA regs for specifics.

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
One thing I always do, when declaring at check in, I make sure I say I need to declare an UNLOADED firearm. They like hearing that word. Sometimes they'll ask you to show them it is unloaded also (and the other pax. around you will give an amusing array of reactions at that....).
As stated above, review the rules of both the TSA and the airline before you fly. Have a great trip!

If you can insure it too you might want to do that as a deterent to the airlines "misplacing" it.
Considering the far-too-common firearm thefts from your "locked baggage," I would do this:
Use a locking COM case which comes with a steel cable tether.
Center Of Mass Central
Put the case in your luggage with the tether cable secured to your regular luggage, so the gun case cannot walk away from your luggage.
Place your unloaded handgun in the COM case, take a quick photo of this arrangement showing handgun serial number, then lock the COM case and lock your regular luggage.
TSA will require being able to access your luggage so you need to use a TSA-approved lock. But YOU keep the ONLY key to your handgun COM case AFTER TSA has inspected the gun for safety. That way, no baggage handlers can remove your handgun from its placement in your luggage. You can have ammo in the same luggage but it must be separated from the locked handgun case. Keep in mind that the weight of ammo (and luggage weight surcharges) vs. the cost of buying at your destination...
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a gift, That's why they call it the present
I always print out the TSA rules and the rules from the airlines own website, just in case I run into an agent who is unfamiliar with the rules. It hasn't happened yet :)

~Never do anything that you don't want to have to explain to the paramedics...~
Having traveled a number of times, here's how I go at it:
- Put the unloaded weapon(s) in a lockable hard-sided case with locks only you have the keys to open. TSA locks are not allowed.
- Check the airline(s) you are flying on:
- Determine if the ammo MUST be in boxes OR can fly in loaded magazines.
- If loaded magazines are permitted, make sure the pouches fully cover the magazines.
- The round from the pipe(s) must be in a box, not loose.
- Secure and protect magazines and ammunition boxes from possible damage.
- Put the lockable hard-sided case with the weapon and the ammo/magazines into a cheap, non-descript bag - with clear labeling outside and inside - for checking in. The labeling should be limited to:
- Your Name
- Your Cell Phone - if you have one, or your home phone if you do not
- Your personal email address - if you have one
- Other stuff - like shampoo, mouthwash, toothpaste, etc, could be in this checked bag also.
- Have the rules for the airline in hand when you check this non-descript bag at the airport.
- Make sure you have the keys to the lockable hard-sided case with you and you alone (Per Federal Regulations § 1540.111 Carriage of weapons, explosives, and incendiaries by individuals - Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:) at all times. You will have to open the lockable hard-side case
- to demonstrate to the airline that the weapon(s) are not loaded at check in
- f the TSA wants to see.
- Have the serial number(s) and descriptions of your weapons on you, so if they "disappear" you can report the loss/theft immediately to the:
- airline
- FAA Regional Office
- ATF Regional Office
Other things to consider:
- Check Handgunlaw.us and/or Pack-N-Go Carry Concealed Trip Planner to determine:
- If you can possess the weapon at all your stops.
- Where and how you can carry at all your stops.
- What are the deadly force rules in each state you are visiting.
- Have a copy of the Don Young Transportation Letter on hand - http://www.anjrpc.org/DefendingYourR...s%20letter.pdf. This covers changing modes of travel - car to plane to car - in a single journey.

My wife and I flew out of OIA on Dec. 4 th. I had with me 1 handgun and a knife locked in a Securit loced case.We were flying AirTran.I had ammo in an other securit locked case. I had to remove box withammo and put it in another suit case airline rules. I had no other problems. We flew nonstop to Harrisburg Pa. On my return trip the check in went fine until I went to have the suitcase xrayed. The agent then marked my bag with a small dot sticker, He said so TSA knew of the gun in the case. I argued about it being marked. He said it had to be. I got back to OIA andf the sticker was still there. And my gun was also! I thought they were not allowed to mark the outside of the suitcase that it contained a gun! Can you help me out here?
I've never seen my suitcase get marked. I did have a couple of interesting conversations in my recent travels at the different desks.
When I was flying home, College Station TX to Evansville IN on American and American Eagle, I had a conversation with one of the TSA guys about snap caps in the case. HIs first impression was that they were ammo. He was actually receptive to being corrected when I told him there was no energetic in the caps. Another TSA guy told me that I should also lock the suitcase the gun was in (which was confusing, considering that you're not allowed to lock them anymore...?)
When I flew back to CS from EVV a couple of days later, the check in staff made me put my firearms declaration card in the gun case that I then locked. I asked them why, how will someone who inspects the bag know the gun was declared and cleared. They told me that was the new rules. Still didn't make any sense to me, but I followed. The people at EVV didn't say anything about locking the bag on their end...

Stop Selling Printing
You are sitting in a conference room with four of your competitors. The Buyer hands you each a document to quote on with instructions to price 50,000 pieces. There will be no changes to the document.
"This is a tough economy," the Buyer says, "so we have to go for the lowest price. Good luck to you all and thanks for coming in." Meeting adjourned.
A few years ago there was a game show on TV called, "Whose Line is It Anyway?"—an ad lib show that featured different challenges. In one of them, the participants had the task of only being able to have a conversation in the form of a question. It made for good (if brainless) entertainment, but a better lesson in being a sales rep.
Back to the conference room…
Four sales people stand, thank the Buyer and leave, anxious to return to their shops to show off the fabulous quote they've "worked so hard to get." You wait until the room is cleared…and that's when host Drew Carey hits the bell and the game begins…
"How long will 50K last?"
"How many might get thrown out if a change is made?"
"What IS this document? In other words, what is the purpose of the piece?"
"Why is there no color on this document? Do you think it might help with accomplishing the goal?
"Who 'owns' this document? That is, who requisitioned it? Could I speak to that person and offer ideas for improvement in addition to quoting the job?"
The Buyer has limited knowledge of how this piece works, just that a quantity of 50K has been requisitioned. He suggests that you contact the Requisitioner directly and report back.
Mission accomplished.
Round Two…
You are having a first-time meeting with a prospect, a Marketing Manager. She welcomes you into her office where you make small talk regarding the pictures on her desk, the weather, and the Red Sox' lack of commitment to the 2010 Pennant Race as evidenced by the front office sleepwalking through the mid-season trade deadline. Once again, Drew Carey hits the bell and the game begins…

It all comes down to value. We have to sell on more than just price, otherwise all our experience and expertise becomes a commodity that has no value beyond the ink on paper. Otherwise, no matter how low you go, there will always be some young start-up with lower overhead that is hungrier than you are and willing to underbid just for the volume. If you're talking more than the client, chance are you're focusing on price and not asking enough questions.

BeschreibungAn adventurous and fateful journey to West Africa made Katrin Rohde sell everything she owned in Germany and settle permanently in Burkina Faso. She gives a graphic report of how she began to take care of street children leading pitiful lives marked by hunger, drugs and crime in the capital city of Ouagadougou.
Over the years Katrin Rohde has set up a number of facilities for children and teenagers: orphanages, workshops and training facilities for street kids, counselling centres for young women and girls, a clinic, and much, much more - always in accordance with the principle "helping people to help themselves".
With self-assurance, courage and discipline, with humour and African equanimity she realizes her projects and ideas in what are often difficult conditions. Today everyone knows her there as "Mama Tenga" - "Mother Fatherland".
A colourful and enthralling narrated autobiography, a testimony to human nature, that provides a deep and unusual insight into African reality and the life of people in Burkina Faso.
Bonus features: Contains a picture gallery which shows everyday life at AMPO and the African country Burkina Faso.
