text: I'm sorry, but that was idiotic for that guy to OC! I CC'd to the Batman movie just like I CC everywhere that's legal. I don't know why anyone OC's unless its' the only way they can legally carry where they live. It's certainly better to have a gun than no gun but if you can concealed carry then DO IT. You make yourself a target for the wolves (not referring to police) if you OC plus you scare the "sheeple" which is NOT the point. Responsible citizens who carry should fly under the radar and not make their presence known until they are needed (which is hopefully never). It seems especially idiotic to OC at a movie theatre days after a mass shooting AT A MOVIE THEATRE. Anyone with a brain is going to be hyper sensitive and aware of people carrying. Spend $50 and get a comfortable IWB holster and save yourself the trouble of having people look at you like a psycho and having police ask or your carry permit. Hats off to the guys who CC'd whether or not they knew it was legal. It's unfortunate it was ruined for them by the guy who OC'd.

With a myriad of silk floral prints and peplums overrunning Australian fashion week (MBFWA) with their particular brand of spring femininity, Alice McCall's promise of Hungarian folk-inspired garb sounded like a little breath of fresh air. Her starting point was Budapest's antiquated stain glass windows, and from there the show notes promised we'd be taken on a trip through folk art, blossoming embroideries, and cheery Russian babushka dolls.
Somtimes to prepare for such a trip there's no bag packing or ticket bookings, just the steeling of your imagination in case you need to stretch it far to fill the thematic gaps. That wasn't required with Alice McCall's 'Babooshka' story. The Russian doll cuteness crept over the models from head to foot: milkmaid braids and headscarves, embellished eyes, mirrored chandelier earrings, folkish prints that recalled traditional embroidery. McCalls girl was like a mix of Hungarian peasant and Russian royalty, coming together in rustic cuts and bling costume jewellery, forming a gestalt that was just enough of each and never too much of either.
The thematic freshness aside, McCall adhered to the popular shapes and details of the season, like cutaway dresses with sweetheart necks and lampshade skirts, sporty backs, mesh, cropped pants, sculptured skirts and pastel hues. The marriage of spring's biggest trends with a traditional-inspired theme is a heaven-made one: the ideal way to stock up on the season's hottest cuts but in prints that'll stand out in a crowd.

Have you ever worn stiletto heels?
Good morning, Netizens...
Have you ever worn a set of stiletto heels? Bear with me a minute here...I meant to say have any women reading this ever worn stiletto heels before? Somehow the mental picture of two funky old graybeard males needing shaves wearing color-coordinated stiletto heels takes me back to certain places in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood, a residual memory that still haunts me to this day. We probably do not need to go there.
The advantages, according to the moguls in charge of shoes are that they give the optical illusion of a longer, slimmer leg, a smaller foot, and a greater overall height. They also alter the wearer's posture and gait, flexing the calf muscles, and making the bust and buttocks more prominent. Some can use the emphasis, some probably should avoid it all possible costs.
However, stilettos disproportionately result in ankle and foot damage. Given the deplorable condition of the sidewalks and streets in Spokane's version of the Universal Urban Obstacle Course should leave us asking, is making my butt more prominent worth the cost of orthopaedic surgery from a shattered ankle?
I simply do not understand. Can someone enlighten me before I rush out to one of the shoe emporiums and buy a set of these so-called "wonderful shoes". Besides I don't need any emphasis of my big behind nor do I need to waltz into Dempsey's Brass Rail wearing an air of insouciant pulchritude wearing stiletto heels and cheap perfume.
What about you?

I don't begrudge our president, or certainly his children, the lifetime of armed security that comes with the office. Okay, I do a little. But if he can't understand a modest American's need to protect his or her own family the best way he or she deems necessary, with whatever the most effective tools are, he does not deserve to live here. And he certainly does not have the capacity to LEAD us. I will decide what I need and what my family needs, thank you very much.
My grandmother had a framed needlepoint that hung in her house for as long as I can remember that read, "They said it couldn't be done, so I did it." Bring it on Obama. Bring it on.

Thanks for adding your name to the list of documented gun enthusiasts & people who believe in personal self defense. There's safety in numbers.
Not only are the President's children protected at that school but there's private armed security there regardless if the Obama girls are there or not. The school has some students from families that are very anti-gun, David Gregory's for one. They can afford the luxury. In my state it illegal to have guns on school property & our budgets are just too small to be able to provide any additional professional security. But I'm preaching to the choir.

Indian writers stand up to modi _ foreign affairs
Over the past month, Indian writers have been returning awards from India's National Academy of Letters, the Sahitya Akademi. They have issued individual statements, signed written petitions, and staged vigils, marches, and sit-ins. Their acts of dissent have received an enormous amount of attention in India's print, broadcast, electronic, and social media. Officially, the writers are protesting the recent assassinations of three intellectuals—Govind Pansare, Narendra Dabholkar, and M. M. Kalburgi—and
the failure of the academy to react forcefully enough to these murders, especially to that of Kalburgi, a 78-year-old historian who was also a Sahitya Akademi awardee himself.
But the assassinations can't be the only reason that more than 60 authors have returned their prizes and criticized the academy, which has been doing its work for several decades without controversy. The prize money itself is modest, and although the award carries a kind of official prestige, other literary awards have begun to challenge its preeminence in the prolific and multilingual world of Indian literature.
The Sahitya Akademi controversy can best be understood as part of a larger battle: a culture war between India's literary establishment, dominated by left-leaning, secular writers, and India's right-wing government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP came to power in New Delhi in May 2014, securing a majority of seats in the Indian Parliament despite winning just 31 percent of the votes cast in the national election (an anomaly made possible by India's "first

Kristen Stewart Talks 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2,' Says 'Happy with How it Closes'
Kristen Stewart may not be ready to end her relationship with Robert Pattinson, but the 22-year-old starlet is proud of how the duo's signature film "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" comes to an end.
Finally making her first public appearance after the highly publicized cheating scandal, Kristen Stewart spoke to MTV News at the Toronto International Film Festival.
"It's so good," Stewart said of a finished cut.
"It's good, it's really weird. I think everyone expects that but I'm really proud of Bill [Condon] and I'm really happy with how it closes [the franchise]. It's a lot to take," the actress told MTV.
Asked whether she thinks the film's ending is a proper send-off to the franchise, Stewart answered, "Yes, I think so."
"I hope not everyone knows exactly how that goes down. I think maybe they do, but even if you do know what happens, the end throws you for a loop, even if you're expecting it," said Stewart.
As the "Twilight" series is wrapped up, will it also mark the demise of one of the Hollywood's sexiest couples?
In the wake of Stewart's cheating scandal with married director Rupert Sanders, it is unclear as to where Stewart and Pattinson's romance is going.
Kristen Stewart has been reportedly making her best effort to reconcile with Pattinson, even wearing his items whenever she stepped out for paparazzi to see. But the heartbroken actor has been showing mixed reactions, according to recent reports.
"[Robert] told her he didn't want her wearing his clothes in public because they're not a couple anymore," a source close Stewart and Pattinson told Ok! magazine.
Pattinson "told her to throw them all away. He never wants to wear them, and he never wants her to wear them either. Rob is beyond angry with her."
Other sources claimed that the couple were back together.
"It was communicated to people duringTIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) that they are [back together] but they're worried about how it might affect his career, like whether or not there will be some kind of crazy backlash," says laineygossip.com.
In Toronto, Stewart was asked of how she and Pattinson will feel at their reunion.
"We're going to be fine," the 22-year-old starlet told The Associated Press.
"We're totally fine," she assured.
"We have been waiting for this thing to be unleashed for so long. It was sort of one of those situations where you just have to put yourself in your body and go appreciate the moment," Stewart added.
Another source alleged that Stewart "begged to meet face to face so they could talk. It was obvious Kristen was getting through to Rob and he has agreed to see her."
"If Rob decides to take her back, he'll have some ground rules," the source, which claims to be a close friend, told Look magazine.
"Kristen would have to spend more time in his hometown of London. He also would want them to adopt the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt way of working - where they take it in turns to do a film so they can be around for time together."
While the future of Robsten's relationship is in the dark, fans can expect much from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2," set to hit theaters on Nov. 16.

Raising an existing Jack post (Telepost)
Hello. Im a newbie on this site and have really appreciated this site in providing me valuable information on my first home. Here is the scenario I am dealing with now.
I currently have a balcony above the garage. :eek: THis balcony is supported by one major beam (around 20 ft in length) with a single jackpole in the middle of the beam (in the garage). I guess over the years with heavy snow accumulating on the balcony as well as foundation settling (noticeable by a few cracks on concrete garage floor), the main beam has sagged slightly.
This beam also has some lateral cracks which I believe are normal over time. The beam is also extremely dry that it can easily be chipped as it is very rough (if that helps at all)
My method to solve this problem was simply to turn the existing jackpole so that it raises the main beam a day at a time (1/16 of an inch per day) I have only done it once so far and before continuing wanted to make sure this was the proper method. I have seen other threads where two sistering jackpoles were needed, but in my case wasn't sure why this would be necessary on an existing jackpole.
Could be that there is not enough footing under the post to bear the load. If that is the case then turning the screw may solve your problem temporarily, but it will continue to settle and sag. You really need to decide what caused the sag in the first place. Then attack the problem where it truly exists.
It would really help if you posted a picture or two.
Thanks for the feedback. Will come back with a picture later today. For now all I can say is that the garage itself is above-grade and I have a basement beside the foundation of the garage (ie the garage foundation is a basement wall) which probably means there is quite a bit of footing (6ft +) or not? depending how the center of the garage is done. THis sagging also has also caused slight exterior damage to the brick which seems to have been patched up not too long ago. I will come back with pictures for better visibility to this topic.
It is very likely you will need a more robust footing. You would then need two sistering (maybe not that close) jack poles to hold up the beam and balcony during the time you remove the original jack pole temporarily and build a new footing. Or put in new footings for the two alternate jack poles perhaps at the 1/3 to 2/5 point and 3/5 to 2/3 point along the beam, install them, and remove the original jack pole for good.
4 Attachment(s)
I have included the pictures. The length of the beam is close to 17 ft + and the jackpole is more or less in the middle. Let me know if the pictures help. In regards to the footing, I don't see any dipping in the area below the pole. Note the pole is also extended to double it's regular length (has a pin below and above) due to the height of the beam. I guess the question is, is the sag serious? Is it easy to adjust by just turning the pole little by little on the sagging point or is it safer to put the two sistering poles as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Ayuh,... In my experince, that screw is about at the end of it's travel....
I'd sister it, 'n take the load up,...
I'd also go find a more robust pole to put back in it's place....
You can get heavy wall steel pipe, that'll allow you to reuse the screw-jack in it....
Heavy pipe, cut to length,...
1/4" steel plates, above, 'n below wouldn't hurt athing either....
I'm am not a structural engineer and rely a lot on intuition to stay safe in these kinds of projects. It seems from your pictures and narrative that (1) the beam was adequate to begin with but has sagged for some reason which if solved could correct the situation, (2) I'm guessing from the picture of the footing that it is probably the reason for the sag. No telling how deep the footing is but in my experience, the footing should be 24" square by 12" deep (steel reinforced, minimum) for each support member. If it were my home with this problem, I would strongly consider AllanJ's comment to add a second support member, thus two footings.
I thank you all for your comments, especially AllanJ and Bondo. I have decided to do the two things recommended:
1. Place 2 jackpoles on either side at the recommended distances to distribute the load better. It is way too much pressure and force on one pole which could be the reason for the sag due to bad footing in the first place. And I just realized something, there is a drain towards where there garage doors are almost at the 1/4 point or , so I would have to place the poles a little after that annoyance.
2. Get the proper height of pole as this one was constructed using two poles which is not ideal and also had no steel plates below to relieve the pressure. The current pole is over 100" in height!! Extended too much.
Now I guess the next question is, do I just place the sistering poles directly on the garage floor (with steel plates of course)?
And I am guessing that just screwing them upward slowly day by day will allow me to remove the existing pole at some point in time?
Off to another challenge, installing hardwood flooring on a badly levelled floor. Found a sagging joist beneath a wall, and yes, for some reason it is only one joist beneath that wall. Will open another thread for this one :whistling2:
Thanks will do that. create footings with some good steel plates.
how do you know the beam has sagged and wasnt installed this way?
Prepping the concrete footing
It's been a while since I posted this and just got around to prepping this. I realized that the existing post (see in previous pictures) is embedded in the concrete footing when originally I thought it was sitting on top. I also just noticed your comment about flipping the posts upside down with the screw at the bottom. I saw this technique outlined elsewhere and it mentioned something about bearing more on the concrete vs. the beam. Even though the manufacturer pictures show it the other way around???
I have bought 2 new posts which are of proper height for this application and I created two footings on either side of the old one (applying proper grade concrete). The footings are 7" by 11" each and about 2-2.5 inch deep (like the old one). THey are currently curing (Day 1). I made sure to prime the surface before with some concrete glue and even mixed this with the concrete mix. Is this ok?
Was I also supposed to dig a little before placing the footing on top?
The other question is, do I redo them with the posts embedded upside down? I would need to know soon as I am not sure I will be able to remove them easily once fully cured.
"The footings are 7" by 11" each and about 2-2.5 inch deep (like the old one). THey are currently curing (Day 1). I made sure to prime the surface before with some concrete glue and even mixed this with the concrete mix. Is this ok?

This does not constitute a footing. Footings are 2 feet x 2 feet by 2 feet for a two story house, give or take.
Unless this is a doll house.

text: Putting the Audience Front and Center Installed seating suppliers take the the lead as facility owners seek to maximize ROI. by Kenn Busch * required fields From* To* Message cancel Log in to take the test associated with this article REFERENCES The fixed seating you choose for an auditorium, lecture hall, theater, luxury suite or place of worship needs to satisfy the requirements of a variety of different audiences. First, it must be comfortable enough for people to stay for a long worship service, a 90-minute opera, a three-hour NFL game or an all-day training seminar. Comfort, of course, is more than just ergonomics. The seating layout will determine how easily the audience can get in and out of their seats and rows, and the design of the seating itself has a significant effect on how well the audience can hear and see what's going on from any location in the theater or room. For facility owners, seating must meet targeted capacity goals, comply with municipal and international codes, be flexible enough for the varied functions held in the building, and enhance the aesthetics of the theater or room. (In higher education, for example, an auditorium may be the only space the community ever sees, and is usually one of the first destinations for candidates for admission—not to mention their parents, who will be writing the checks should the blossoming scholar happen to choose that school.) The facilities department will lobby for seating that is convenient and cost-effective to care for, clean, and clean around. The high price of land and shortage of space has forced architects and interior designers to create multipurpose spaces that offer maximum ROI for hall owners, such as arenas and large spaces that can be used as sports facilities, as well as venues for concerts or conventions, or churches that can host local theater, music performances and community meetings. setting the stage, assembling the playersThe fixed seating selection begins with a clear understanding of how the space will be used, and by whom. Some of the questions that need to be asked include: Learning Objectives Interiors & Sources' Continuing Education Series articles allow design practitioners to earn continuing education unit credits through the pages of the magazine.

Will there be an orchestra pit or a dance floor? For training sessions, are writing surfaces, microphones or access to data ports needed? Will a worship facility double as a concert venue? Is it general admission or reserved seating? Is the typical audience young or elderly? Are there enough ADA access locations to meet code? To complicate things further, designing for some of these elements may affect others. With so many factors to balance, you might be thinking about bringing in an expert to help. The great news is that the top installed seating suppliers offer consultative services to guide you through the process, from beginning to end. At least one fixed seating supplier offers complete project tracking via a cloud-computing software package. It gives all parties involved the ability to stay on top of the project schedule, comment, and share their progress and concerns—this includes the architects, interior designers, electricians, HVAC vendors, lighting suppliers and acoustical engineers. Because it is a cloud-based program, it frees users from needing to have specific hardware or software installed locally. This kind of dynamic and all-inclusive communication facilitates a more streamlined and successful outcome, because the whole team is constantly engaged, through the briefing, concepting, CAD rendering, prototyping and installation phases. Without open lines of communication, the entire project may be compromised because one or two people are forced to interpret and attempt to deal with every issue that arises, whether or not it's within their field of expertise. Fixed seating projects are also trending toward a more European approach—custom products designed entirely to the customers' requirements, versus off-the-shelf "cookie cutter" solutions—so dynamic project tracking and management is a critical part of the complete package.

"Fixed seating" is commonly understood to be seating with tip-up or automatic lifting seats, permanently mounted to the floor or riser fronts in an auditorium, performance hall, luxury suite or similar facility. There are multiple facility configurations: curved, straight, tiered, stepped and sloped. While there are no fixed seating styles engineered specifically for any of these layouts, certain designs will allow greater seat density for tighter radius curves. In any of these configurations seating may be mounted to either the floor or to the face of the riser behind; however, seating attached to a floor- or riser-mounted beam may not be compatible with certain curved configurations. Beam-mounted seating can sometimes transmit vibrations to other occupants, depending on the number of seats on the beam. Riser-mounted and beam-mounted seating makes cleaning under the seats more accessible. Some manufacturers also offer freestanding (moveable) bases for their chairs, with adjustable glides, suction feet or even casters, for convenient reconfiguring for open spaces or to make way for additional ADA locations, when required. To support floor anchors for stanchion, pedestal, beam or riser-mount standards, concrete must be 3,000 PSI. Rebar and conduit must be no less than 1 7/8 inches below the surface. If the floor is wood, it must be at least 1 ½ inches thick. Most riser treads are 36 inches deep, although because knee room is tighter in riser seating than in main floor seating, 38-inch treads are recommended. Seats are installed so the seat back creates an overhang of the riser behind. Against the back wall, risers must be deeper to accommodate the seat back and 2 inches of clearance. These dimensions may be different depending on the particular seat style that is being used. ease of movementAccording to international building code, minimum egress is 15 ¾ inches (400 millimeters) for fixed seating. To ensure easy exit of persons from the seats, a maximum of only seven seats can be crossed by any one person (i.e. eight seats per row) in order to get to an exit aisle if the row is served by only one aisle. If the row is served by two aisles then a maximum of 20 seats may be used in a row. Aisles that exit the seating areas must be a minimum of 35 ½ inches (900 millimeters) wide for aisles that only serve seats on one side, and 43 ½ inches (1,100 millimeters) wide for aisles serving seats on two sides. In addition to these minimums, 1 inch of aisle width must be added for every 39 ½-inch (1,000 millimeters) distance from the exit to the furthest point from the exit along the path a person would take. These rules can be used in general, but the international building code does have a number of exceptions depending on the number and placement of exits, the numbers of seats that exit into a specific aisle, and egress depth. Flip-up seating increases capacity over fixed continuous bench-style seating, such as pews in places of worship, by defining the number of occupants per row. People on benches typically try to spread out, taking up about 26 inches each, versus 21 inches in an installed chair. These gaps of 4 or 5 inches per occupant result in an additional space loss of 20 percent. Cleaning crews also appreciate self-rising seats because debris naturally falls to the floor, eliminating the need to brush off fixed seats or pews. comfort and functionFlip-up seats are driven by one of three basic mechanisms: springs, gas cylinders or gravity-activated. Gravity-activated seats are considered the most maintenance free and longest lasting, because the designed balance of the seat automatically returns it to the up position. Gravity mechanisms also tend to be quieter, which is an important consideration in most installations. Ergonomically installed seating distributes occupants' weight more evenly than bench seating, enhancing circulation, reducing muscle tension and better regulating body temperature. Higher quality installed seating uses cold-cured molded foam seat and back cushions, rather than slab or laminated foam. In the latter, any shape or contour is provided by the upholstery detail, resulting in inconsistent density. It also tends to wear more rapidly. Cold-cured molded foam is poured in its liquid state into a mold, and forms an integral "skin" surface as it cools and cures. Its density is much more uniform and consistent throughout its shape and contours than that of slab foam, and it also retains its shape, extending the life of the chair. The skin serves to deter moisture absorption and foam disintegration, delay stain penetration, and reduce odor retention and foam off-gassing. By carefully forming ergonomic seatbacks, manufacturers are able to minimize foam at the lowest part of the back and move the lumbar support up to the hollow of the back, increasing both comfort and leg room. Too often, what is supposed to be a lumbar support is too low, missing the area that requires support and pushing the sacrum and hips forward, reducing circulation. Cold-cured foam over a molded seat pan results in a firmer seat that is more rigid and robust, and holds its shape longer than seats with metal frames with webbing or serpentine steel-spring chair frames. Wood backs and under-seats may be offered as an upgrade feature, although these are more for warmth and style than for any specific comfort or durability benefits, and may affect the acoustics of the room. Although not required by code, taller seat backs may be specified (42 inches versus 34-36 inches) to provide greater safety when risers are 14 inches or greater, and to act as a modesty screen by extending above the knees of those behind. Some backrest designs will also accommodate optional headrests without changing the chair depth. Upholstery options abound, naturally, but should be chosen carefully. Most commercial-grade fabrics are treated for stain resistance and ease of cleaning, but be sure any special care instructions or limitations are fully understood. If your supplier is willing to manufacture with COM ("customer's own materials"), consideration must be given to the durability of the material. A double-rub test rating of 500,000 is recommended for fabrics used in installed seating. For comparison, most commercial grade fabrics usually wear out after 100,000-250,000 double-rubs. Domestic fabrics are usually rated at 25,000 double-rubs. If a COM fabric is required, most manufacturers will ask for sample yardage to test on the chair to make sure that it is compatible. When it comes to making repairs or replacing upholstery, fixing an individual seat is obviously more practical than replacing an entire bench cushion. elbow roomThere are two schools of thought when it comes to specifying installed seating with or without arms. At first glance, it would seem that arms function as much as a social buffer as they do an actual arm rest, but this is actually not the case. Chair arms actually force the occupants' elbows out, taking up more side space and resulting in more uninvited contact. And in reality, only one person can use the arm rest at a time. Arm dividers are of limited use in helping people rise from their seats, especially if the seat itself is of sturdy construction. Those who need help rising almost always reach for the back of the seat in front of them or use their own knees; pushing yourself up using arm rests takes a great deal of strength and balance. Specifying arms takes up at least a minimum of 2 inches of the seat space. However, should you decide arms are needed, each seating product will usually offer several different hard-surface and upholstered options. Aisle panels or caps for the ends of rows may be an option should you need to clearly identify row numbers, or just want that finished, traditional look. writing tablets and accessoriesMost installed seating systems can be accessorized with writing tables, mounted on the seatback ahead or a tablet arm. Anti-panic seatback-mounted tables will not reduce egress, although tablet arms do force you to give up a little seat space. Standard in Europe and gaining ground here are "anti-panic" mechanisms in writing tables and tablets, which allow them to smoothly and easily retract with a very light touch—or a bump from the torso—should the occupant need to rise quickly and exit the row. Older designs and mechanisms are prone to jamming, are heavy to lift or seize up with quick or panicked movements, trapping the occupant and blocking egress. Other accessories range from traditional add-ons like vertical or horizontal baskets, beverage holders, and personal or safety lighting, to a full suite of multimedia functions including microphones, headset jacks, interactive touch screens, and data and power ports. Such devices have obvious value for conferences that are translated into several languages or require audience participation, but can also provide subtitles for a foreign-language opera, or discreetly alert an audience member of a home emergency during a ballet performance. Facility owners are beginning to inquire about the ability to use seating multimedia to buy licensed performance souvenirs online, place a bet on the game you're watching, order food and drinks, electronically display hymns for worship, or even make electronic donations. Some installed seating systems also incorporate HVAC into the pedestals or the bottoms of divider arms. Distributing airflow like this reduces noise-producing velocity, and offers Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) advantages by cooling the audience more efficiently—heat displaces naturally upward and out of the building. seating and acousticsAcoustics in a room are described on a continuum from "live" (lots of sound reflection, like a gymnasium) to "dead" (like recording studio booth walled with foam). Seating is an integral element in the acoustic design of a room because it affects how sound behaves, whether or not anyone is sitting in it. A flipped-up seat plays the bigger role because it's essentially a large surface directly facing the stage. A wood seat bottom is highly reflective, so a gridwork of small holes is commonly drilled in it to bring the acoustic properties under control. For installations in which acoustics are especially critical, chair prototypes are sent to labs where acoustic engineers test them and suggest modifications to other materials and surfaces in a space. When necessary, a thin layer of acoustic material is added under the upholstery to control the seating's acoustic role. spaces are evolvingSeating has evolved significantly in the last decade as demands increase for more integrated technology and higher levels of comfort. The nature of live events and performances is also affecting audience expectations. With average ticket prices for concerts and theater productions now over $60, people rightfully expect a luxurious environment. Experts are predicting that spaces themselves will become far more dynamic than could have been imagined even 10 years ago. Particularly in Europe, designers are imagining and planning for spaces in which different areas of the floor itself will be hydraulically raised and lowered relative to the stage, morphing a venue from a concert hall to a boxing arena. Seating will disappear into trap doors for standing-room only events and reappear as necessary for more formal performances. Ensuring that your projects meet both current expectations and the demands of the future requires choosing a quality seating supplier with the expertise to customize their products to your clients' specific needs and goals.

Stockton, California, located on the California Delta, is the county seat of San Joaquin County. One of only two California inland sea ports, the city enjoyed a robust boat building and shipping industry from 1940s into the 1980's. The port served at the gateway to California's Central Valley. But to public health advocates, Stockon has gained notoriety for a less flattering reason: it is the location where scores of individuals were exposed to asbestos over the last century, and later developed the incurable cancer, mesothelioma.
The Stockton shipyards were home to numerous boat building companies who constructed mine sweepers for United States Navy, and tug boats and ferries that later were put to use in the San Francisco Bay. Asbestos containing products and insulation material were used extensively at the shipyard. Many workers who were employed in the Stockton shipyards were later diagnosed with asbestos related diseases.
Located at 1051 Sperry Road, in Stockton, California, the Johns-Manville asbestos product manufacturing plant is a landmark for many families who have lost loved ones to mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos both at the plant, and contained in asbestos containing products shipped from the plant. The plant opened in the 1950's and continued to produce asbestos cement pipe into the 1980's. Asbestos was often shipped into the plant via the railroad whose tracks ran through the manufacturing facility. Thousands of tons of asbestos were used in manufacturing at the facility. Numerous deaths have occurred as result of mesothelioma caused by asbestos processed at the Johns-Manville asbestos cement pipe manufacturing plant in Stockton, California.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was used extensively as a heat resistant and bonding agent in the manufacturing of construction and insulating products from the 1900's through the 1980's in the United States. Inhalation of asbestos fibers cause various asbestos related diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
Asbestosis is a chronic scarring and thickening of the lungs. As the disease progresses, asbestosis makes it very difficult for an individual to breathe, and may eventually result in death. Mesothelioma is a cancer the can occur in the mesothelial lining surrounding the heart, lungs, or stomach. There is no cure for pleural malignant mesothelioma.
Many individuals who were exposed to asbestos in Stockton, California, and later developed and asbestos related disease, have brought lawsuits to gain compensation for their injuries and pain and suffering. Moreover, many families who have lost loved ones to mesothelioma have also sought justice in the Courts.
The Johns-Manville bankruptcy trust provides compensation to individuals who were exposed to asbestos at the Johns-Manville asbestos containing product manufacturing plant in Stockton, who later developed asbestos related diseases.
Moreover there are numerous bankruptcy trusts that will provide compensation to individuals and families who have suffered from asbestos related diseases as a result of exposure to asbestos at the Stockton Shipyards.
Additionally, there are many other construction and industrial sites in Stockton, California, were it is documented…
that workers were exposed to asbestos. If you or a loved one has developed an asbestos related disease, such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, the Asbestos Legal Center is offering free legal consultations at 1-800-970-3878.

Opening for Hillary? Obama has spoken some sense on the surge . . .
Whereas Obama's claim to foreign policy fame among Dems has been his opposition from day one to the Iraq war, it appears he may have now put himself to the right of Hillary Clinton on the issue of sustaining the surge.
Readers will recall that when Tim Russert asked Clinton on Meet the Press of January 13th whether she would be open to sustaining the surge through the end of the year if General Petraeus requested it, Hillary tersely answered "No, and here's why, Tim."
But confronted with a similar hypothetical on this morning's Early Show, Obama evinced more flexibility.
View video here.
HARRY SMITH: Over the last 48 hours or so, we were reminded of how serious the situation is in Iraq.
BARACK OBAMA: Absolutely.
SMITH: Commanders there saying maybe we ought to freeze this troop drawdown, because we're not sure how this is going to work. Suicide bombers come, killed dozens and dozens of people.
OBAMA: Heartbreak.
SMITH: If you were to be elected president, and your commanders on the ground there, and your Secretary of Defense said "hold back. You can't be pulling these people out. We're going to be creating a civil war and a bloodbath." What would you do?
OBAMA: My job as Commander-in-Chief is to keep the American people safe. But I firmly believe that we have to send a signal to the Iraqis that it is time to withdraw. We will not have a permanent base there, we will not have a permanent occupation there.
SMITH: Even if it meant the beginning of civil --
OBAMA: No, no, no, no. Within those constraints, I think there is going to be some flexibility, and obviously I would consult with commanders. We have to be mindful of the situation on the ground and what the commanders say.
Will we see Hillary attempting to exploit this outbreak of common sense from Obama?

Thank you! I recentlyconverted my Supercub to an Eflite 15 brushless motor with 2200mA battery. Though I strategically placed the battery I still found I was extremely nose heavy. Your video explains it all. Not just giving a measurement from the leading edge for the COG but rather explaining where the COG needs to be. Thanks!

Plane balanced out about 1/8″ tail heavy so should be ok. I've painted and dolled this SC up to match D-Day L4 Grasshopper. Looks pretty sharp but the paint and decals may have added a bit of weight to tail. Thanks.
Ok, simple mistake: While adding ailerons/new rx, I also changed out rud/elev servos. I just now realized that for some reason, elev servo needed to be reversed in my radio (dx6). When taking off the other day, I was applying up elev but was actually applying down! In being so concerned about ailerons I didn't notice reversed elev. I'm ok flying my 4 ch Corsair and I've flown this SC many times so nosing over w/ WTO really baffled me, thought it was a weight problem. Lesson learned. Thanks!
Balancing… mark on the wing 2.25″ and use your index fingers as a jig, you'll know right off if it's balanced. 1/8″ fore or aft is fine, anything more then you should be looking at your battery/rx installation. If moving those don't help, start adding weight until you achive proper balanec at 2.25″.
Always balance a plane to its COG specs before its first maiden flight!!!
If the plane balances as discribed in the vid then it should fly. As far as taking off, if you give it WOT on take-off the plane will want to pull to the left and nose over every time. So yes, you should be applying (not trimming) up elevator and a little right rudder to give the plane the proper "Angle of attack" then trim as needed in the air for straight & level flight at mid throttle.
Oh yeah, Du Bro wheels aren't helping as far as nose weight. Maybe I should trim "up" just a hair on elevator… Thanks!
Yet another cool video! Thanks to you, I've added ailerons and Spektrum receiver. 1st flight didn't work out well. The problem was my SC seems very nose heavy now, so much so that the prop was hitting the pavement as I was at full throttle during take off. Is it possible that the servos, wiring etc. have added that much weight to the nose? I'm going to balance my plane per your video. What should I use to counter balance and should I set jig at 2.25″ from lead edge as you did? Thanks!
Great job…!
Great, awesome…

Job Overview
Department of Legal Affairs
OPIC's Department of Legal Affairs, consisting of approximately twenty attorneys and supported by ten legal professionals, interacts with every department at OPIC and plays an important role with respect to OPIC's overall program. OPIC lawyers draft project finance and investment funds legal documentation, review political risk insurance contracts, negotiate with investors and their counsel on the details of finance, funds and insurance transactions, and determine liability and the extent of compensation due in claims on OPIC insurance policies. The Department represents OPIC in any negotiations with foreign governments, including settlement of OPIC's claims against the government after OPIC has compensated an insured investor. In the event of a dispute under an insurance policy, the Department may represent OPIC in arbitration, the dispute resolution mechanism called for in OPIC insurance contracts. When OPIC uses outside counsel (for example, local counsel in a project country), OPIC lawyers select and supervise retained attorneys. Finally, OPIC depends on the Department to provide any legal advice it may require as a corporation on a wide range of general corporate, legislative, and administrative matters. For a law student interested in finance and the legal aspects of international business transactions, an OPIC internship provides exposure to many facets of international investment, from structuring project financings to the assessment of political risks and evaluation of claims in connection with OPIC's insurance contracts. An internship with OPIC's Department of Legal Affairs gives students a comprehensive overview of the operations and effectiveness of OPIC programs in support of international transactions.
The internship is an opportunity for practical application of legal principles in such areas as corporate law, administrative law, public international law, international business transactions, insurance, banking, and finance. Law student interns help OPIC's attorneys advise OPIC in matters relating to insurance, finance, investment funds and administration. The majority of the work performed by interns is comparable to that of a first-year associate at a law firm transactional practice and also includes legal research and writing projects. The Department makes every effort to match required research assignments to our interns' areas of particular interest.

Sponsor Animal Update: Marty
1st Quarter 2012
Marty is the Animal League's big mush! He's popular, too. He was the center of attention at a recent fundraiser. A small group of young school girls decided to host a bake sale in his honor. The girls were excited to meet Marty and donate their proceeds from the event. Marty sure did show off for them. The girls didn't want to stop petting him and they all wanted to take him home! Marty's foster mother, Carolee, was so proud of Marty and the girls for their good deed. Carolee continues to bring him to the Animal League every Saturday. The staff and volunteers count on seeing him each week. He's up-to-date on his medical exams and vaccinations. His devoted foster mother makes sure that he gets the care and love that he needs and deserves.

David Cameron appears to have more of a sense of humour than some of the Tory officials shepherding him round the country.
News reaches me from Brighton, where Cameron appeared this lunchtime, that a smile crossed his face when he spotted a dreadlocked teenager wearing the Guardian's 'Step Outside Posh Boy' T-shirt. This was our April Fool's joke by our famous correspondent, Olaf Priol, about how Gordon Brown is spoiling for a fight with the Tories.
Cameron today shouted to the teenager words to the effect of:
I want one. But they won't let me wear it.
Perhaps Cameron could teach party officials about humour. Brighton sources say that when the teenager turned up at Varndean College for a question and answer session he was told he could not enter unless he took the offending item off or turned it inside out.
The teenager obliged. But then he put the T-shirt back the right way and was spotted by Cameron.

Sadly my lovely little Amy died on the 14th June 2010, after a short illness, aged 14 years. Run free and happy my little fluff ball.
Oh how I'm dreading Monday. I have to go to the vets and have two teeth removed and my teeth cleaned :-(
I'm really not looking forward to it at all, and my Mom's worried about the anaesthetic.
Soon I won't have any teeth left at all, and instead of being called Amy I'll be known as Gummy!!!
How will I eat?
Oh my,perhaps I can have false teeth fitted.
My Mom went to Crufts Dog Show yesterday--I hoped that she would bring me some treats back as there are so many shopping stalls there.
Well she returned and I was waiting for her all excited at the thought of the goodies she might have for me---food, food, food,bows, food, slides, clothes, food,food
Well she had some things for me ok :-(
A new toothbrush!
Worming tablets!
:-( :-(:-(:-(
Then she produced a new dog coat and some bows for me. :-)
No nibbles or munchies in sight :-(
Oh well there's always next year.

Stimulus Dollars to be Spent on Teacher Salaries
Last week, when Alachua County School Board officials found out they would be receiving stimulus money, it was a relief. Now they've decided how it will be spent.
The $9.1 million will be used to pay the salaries of 250 annual contract teachers for each of the next two years. School board officials say without the stimulus money, they would have faced a possible reduction in salaries for all district employees.
"In talking with other districts and what other people are doing, one way, one of the requirements in the stimulus fund is to maintain employment," said Assistant Superintendent of Planning and Budget Keith Birkett. "So this would be maintaining the employment of those teachers."
Gunnar Paulson, President of the Alachua County Education Association, said he wasn't surprised by the board's decision. He said he hopes to put pressure on the state legislature, so that districts won't face the same problems when the stimulus funding ends in two years.

What are the characteristics of the three types of Usher syndrome?
Type 1
Children with type 1 Usher syndrome are profoundly deaf at birth and have severe balance problems. Many of these children obtain little or no benefit from hearing aids. Parents should consult their doctor and other hearing health professionals as early as possible to determine the best communication method for their child. Intervention should be introduced early, during the first few years of life, so that the child can take advantage of the unique window of time during which the brain is most receptive to learning language, whether spoken or signed. If a child is diagnosed with type 1 Usher syndrome early on, before he or she loses the ability to see, that child is more likely to benefit from the full spectrum of intervention strategies that can help him or her participate more fully in life's activities.
Because of the balance problems associated with type 1 Usher syndrome, children with this disorder are slow to sit without support and typically don't walk independently before they are 18 months old. These children usually begin to develop vision problems in early childhood, almost always by the time they reach age 10. Vision problems most often begin with difficulty seeing at night, but tend to progress rapidly until the person is completely blind.
Type 2
Children with type 2 Usher syndrome are born with moderate to severe hearing loss and normal balance. Although the severity of hearing loss varies, most of these children can benefit from hearing aids and can communicate orally. The vision problems in type 2 Usher syndrome tend to progress more slowly than those in type 1, with the onset of RP often not apparent until the teens.
Type 3
Children with type 3 Usher syndrome have normal hearing at birth. Although most children with the disorder have normal to near-normal balance, some may develop balance problems later on. Hearing and sight worsen over time, but the rate at which they decline can vary from person to person, even within the same family. A person with type 3 Usher syndrome may develop hearing loss by the teens, and he or she will usually require hearing aids by mid- to late adulthood. Night blindness usually begins sometime during puberty. Blind spots appear by the late teens to early adulthood, and, by mid-adulthood, the person is usually legally blind.
|Usher Syndrome: Type 1, 2, and 3

|Type 3
|Profound deafness in both ears from birth
|Moderate to severe hearing loss from birth

Author says pillar of French culture a shambles
By Daniel Bases
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Signs of decay in French food and wine have been apparent for decades but there could be a saving grace, from of all things, the global economic crisis, according to wine critic and author Michael Steinberger.
It was bad economics, an overbearing state bureaucracy and the tyranny of a restaurant guide that contributed to driving France's famous food and wine culture into the ground, he argues in his book "Au Revoir To All That. Food, Wine and the end of France."
French chefs left home for the welcoming and prosperous shores of England and the United States. They were no longer willing to suffer from high taxes, rigid labor laws and a sub-par economy with high unemployment that put fine cuisine out of the reach for most French, says Steinberger.
The wine critic for online magazine Slate, he argues that arrogance on the part of established chefs and their pursuit of building business empires ended up sacrificing the quality that brought worldwide renown for its cuisine.
An avowed Francophile, Steinberger, spoke to Reuters about what went wrong over glasses of the 2007 Lignier-Michelot Bourgogne red and the 2006 Coudoulet de Beaucastel red.

Q: Why did one pillar of French culture, its food and wine, decline so much in your opinion?
A: "Over the past 25-30 years France has stagnated economically and the cuisine has followed suit. I don't think it is terribly controversial to suggest that the country's gastronomic fortunes are dictated to a very great extent by its economic fortunes. Continued...

The Devil Dials Prada on LG's New Phone
When Apple (AAPL) unveiled its long-anticipated iPhone at the annual Macworld trade show in San Francisco in early January, few received the news with more apprehension than Cha Kang Heui. Cha, the chief mobile phone designer at LG Electronics, has high expectations for a new co-branded handset due out next month that was designed with a team from Italian fashion house Prada.
The iPhone has certainly generated industry-wide buzz. However, opinion is divided about what sort of sales impact the wireless phone, music and video player, and mobile Internet browsing device will make in a very crowded field already dominated by Nokia (NOK), Motorola (MOT), Samsung Electronics (SSNHY), Sony Ericsson, and LG when it's launched in June (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/10/07, "The Future of Apple").
Even so, LG execs believe the Prada Phone, which will go head-to-head with Apple's iPhone in the high-end multimedia handset arena, is a game-changer. It boasts an elegant shape and design, graphic interface, and, of course, the Prada brand name that oozes high-fashion and luxury. "With or without the iPhone, our Prada phone and other models will give consumers a new experience," declares Cha. "Users will come back to us as long as we give them emotional satisfaction with easy-to-use software interface or intuitive look and feel."
Prada Price Tag
In a world awash with mobile phones, global manufacturers have now started to reach out to luxury brand purveyors to develop fashion phones that offer a way to charge more for a little panache—but also stand out. For instance, Motorola has teamed with the (RED) group, co-founded by U2 front man and activist Bono, to develop the Red Motorazr. Plus, Samsung and high-end Danish consumer-electronics firm, Bang & Olufsen jointly developed a high-end handset called the Serene (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/22/07, "Making the Serene Scene with B&O").
LG will see what kind of fashion instincts it has when the Prada Phone goes on sale in Europe in February. The design may be minimalist, but not the functions—or the price.
The multimedia phone, which will fetch €600 ($780), is not so different from other high-tech handsets. You can play and download music, surf the Internet, deliver voice mail, and read Microsoft's document files. It also doubles as an FM radio and comes with a 2-megapixel still and video camera. (Sales in Asia will begin in March, but LG is still negotiating with U.S. carriers for its U.S. debut)
Shift to Design Emphasis
The main difference from other phones is its radically simple appearance. Like Apple's iPhone, it removed clustered buttons and the keypad to rely on graphic icons on a big touch screen. And when not in use, the glowing icons disappear to reveal the pure black face that highlights the Italian fashion house's ubiquitous Prada logo.
LG is betting that the touch interface and the sleek design and status symbol allure will differentiate the handset from other ultra-slim, function-backed devices. That may not be easy. The thin-is-beautiful fad has been in motion since 2004, when Motorola scored big with its Razr lineup in 2004. "Phones have become a powerful accessory of consumers, and they seek expression of their personality with their accessories," says Cha.
Still, LG has shown some design panache in the past, what with the incredible success of its "Chocolate" phone. The Korean company, the world's No. 5 handset maker after Nokia, Motorola, Samsung Electronics, and Sony Ericsson, has sold some 7.5 million Chocolate phones since its global debut last May.
The phone also marked the company's shift in emphasis—to design and user interface—from leading-edge features (see BusinessWeek.com, 7/19/06, "LG's Chocolate: Will This Cell Phone Hit the Sweet Spot?").
"Digital Workhorse"
The Chocolate, the best-selling model LG has ever introduced, has turned LG's money-losing cell phone business around. The handset unit posted an operating profit of $148.2 million in the second half of 2006, against a loss of $36.5 million in the first six months. The phone, which was first offered at a retail price of about $400, has also boosted LG's average selling price for its phones in Europe to $160 from below $110 at the beginning of last year.
Like the Prada phone, the Chocolate was designed to look like a black rectangular bar, not a phone. Its LCD screen, which sleeps when not in use, suddenly lights up when it slides open. "Customers are amused when a simple personal accessory item turns into a powerful digital workhorse with a gentle touch," says Cha, who first introduced touch-sensitive navigation buttons for the Chocolate.
Now LG is poised to ship the Prada and another new phone overseas, capitalizing on the playful interaction with its phone users. "We are creating a new market," says Chang Ma, a vice-president with LG's mobile communications unit. "Design has become a good enough factor for consumers to choose their phones."
User Experience?
Ma reckons the design similarity between the iPhone and the Prada underscores how rapidly the Korean company has made strides in dreaming up innovative products on par with the kind of branding and design smarts Apple lends to its products. "We are pretty confident that [our] consumer-focused design capability has reached Apple's class," he says.
Already, the Prada phone won Europe's prestigious IF award in December for its excellence in design. The ultra-thin phone, the outcome of an eight-month joint effort between LG and Prada designers, will be sold in phone dealerships and Prada stores in Britain, France, Germany, and Italy starting in February. That's four months before Apple will start offering the iPhone in the U.S.
LG is also launching another fashion phone in Europe—called the "Shine" phone. As the name suggests, its face and the back are finished with shiny stainless steel. The face of the slider phone is a glittering silver mirror which turns into an LCD screen when it slides open. The back is a clean stainless sheet housing only the lens of a 2-megapixel camera. The phone, which will be sold globally this year, will have a price tag similar to that of the Chocolate phone.
The shiny, rectangular phone has all the ingredients for becoming a head-turner, at least as far as its hardware appeal is concerned. The big question is if users will appreciate their experience with its software as well. That issue looms large particularly because Apple is moving into the business, with Jobs pledging to "reinvent the phone (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/12/07, "The Real Genius of Apple's iPhone")."
The Candy vs. the Apple
Korean electronics companies had learned a lesson with Apple's iPod music player earlier this decade. The Koreans were years ahead in rolling out a MP3 music player only to be outgunned by Apple with its beautifully designed iPod and the software magic of iTunes. "We admire Apple's excellence in user interface and software," says Brian Sohn, head of LG's investor relations. "We are watching Apple carefully, but Apple also has some catching up to do in its telecom network technologies."
Analysts agree that although Apple has the potential to shake up the industry, it won't pose a major threat to large phone makers in the short term. Apple hopes to garner 1% of the global handset market by 2008, a goal that would mean sales of 10 million phones. That's a number LG is expected to achieve with its Chocolate phone alone from one year of its global sales. LG, which sold 64 million handsets in 2006, aims to ship 78 million units this year.
With the success of its Chocolate phone, LG is no longer an obscure name among carriers, dealerships, or consumers in global markets. "The chances of LG hitting the sweet spot have certainly improved," says Kevin Lee, telecom device analyst at Woori Investment & Securities in Seoul. If the Shine or Prada phone proves a hit model, LG could charge ahead in its campaign to move up in the fiercely competitive industry's pecking order.

Hunting High Country Mule Deer Bucks - Part 2
Ben had spotted some really good bucks one drainage over from where Kenny and I had hunted, one of which was a real keeper. His plan was to be on the ridge above them at daylight on opening day. Mind you, this involved a hike of 3 miles or so and a climb of at least 2000 feet in altitude in country that you sometimes needed ropes and pitons to maneuver in, but he was up for the challenge. They had made it up and over and were on the downside slope as the sun was rising, lighting up the drainage. Already they had spotted a few deer moving out into the open. As he side hilled over to a better lookout spot, a rock rolled underfoot and the tumble began.
He managed to keep from hurting himself, but the rifle was not so lucky. He had it strapped to the side of the backpack and in the end-over-end tumble it had broke loose and went tumbling through a rock slide. Here is where he wished he had taken my advice and brought along a backup. The wooden stock was broken, right through the handgrip, and the scope was broken completely off the mounts and the eyepiece bent about 45 degrees. Of course about this time is when the big buck stepped out from the shadows at an easy 300 yd range and looked around to see what the ruckus was. I am sure that at the time he was much more worried about what dad was gonna say about his broken rifle.
Well, after several frantic phone calls and help from his brother, a backup plan was made. Kenny would bring his rifle up as a backup, his well-tuned rem 700, 300 RUM, and help him salvage the hunt. Remember, these tags took 8 yrs of applying to draw, so his brother made every effort to help out. They got together later that afternoon and the swap was made. My poor rifle was delivered home in very sad shape, but the hunt continued. Ben took a nice buck the next morning, but alas, the first shot was at about 600 yards and he didn't allow for a steep downhill angle and shot over on a quartering away shot ..right through the right horn at the base. Shot the horn clean off! Of course he thought he had made the perfect shot because the buck had dropped dead in his tracks.
After congratulations, they got up and headed down the hill only to see the buck get up and go over a ridge out of sight. Long story short, he had to make another shot on the buck after tracking it over a mile away. He had to eat a lot of crow over this hunt, but he was humble about it. We decided the bucks were about the same, considering that you could not tell because of the shot off horn.
I was able to repair the broken stock on the 338 and sent the super sniper scope off to Bushnell and they repaired it for ten dollars. It was back to shooting before the elk season, albeit with a few battle scars.

AN attention-grabbing poster has been designed as part of a campaign against dog fouling.
Denbighshire County Council has decided it has had enough of dog muck plaguing the streets and has launched a raft of measures to crackdown on the problem.
As well as the poster, which depicts a small dog looking at a large pile of dog poo and a £75 fine, there is a freephone number for residents to report dog fouling culprits.
"While we know that most dog owners are responsible and always clean up after their dogs, there seems to be a stubborn minority who continue to allow their animals to foul and do not clear up after them," said Councillor David Smith, the council's cabinet member for environment.
"We cannot let this continue time and time again, dog fouling has come up in residents' surveys and regular communication between residents and our councillors backs this up - it's one of the most common complaints we receive."
Denbighshire County Council has already contracted environmental enforcement firm XFor to patrol areas across the county and issue fixed penalty notices for littering and fouling and will also work closely with North Wales Police through the Community Safety Partnership.
The authority would also like to increase community involvement, support clean-up campaigns and is working closely with Keep Wales Tidy officers for Denbighshire.
Councillor Smith added: "Working with the community is key to the success of this campaign and I would urge people - if you see it, report it. If you know who the culprit is, we need you to tell us.
"With the best will in the world, we can't be everywhere and we need the community to help be our eyes and ears and we need to know where the hot spots are so we can specifically target them with increased patrols.
"Denbighshire has installed 90 new bins in new locations last year with more planned for this year and we recently asked members to tell us about hot spots, and now have a list that we will be attending to."
To report dog fouling call freephone 0800 230 0234.

Denbigshire continues to waste Council Tax payers money on policies they have used for eight years trying to reduce the number of Dog Fouling incidents. Same old tactics, different posters, which have all been tried before. Yet the number of Dog Fouling incident increase year on year. I tried to get this Council to adopt a different and cheaper tactic and the Council buried its head deeper in the sand.

By Chris Harris
Gervinho admits that his missed penalty at the Africa Cup of Nations was a low point in his career - but he believes he will be stronger for the experience.
The Ivory Coast star encountered ups and downs at this year's tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, scoring a sparkling winner in the semi-final against Mali only to miss a vital spot-kick in the final against Zambia.
Gervinho's team lost that penalty shoot-out 8-7 having started the game as firm favourites to lift the trophy and it took the Arsenal man time to put it behind him.
"It was hard, it's very difficult getting to the final and then losing on penalties," Gervinho told Arsenal Player.
"It was a disappointment with the penalty, as the team suffered, and in hindsight it was one of the toughest moments of my career. But I've had lots of other hard times. Missing out on a big title was hard, but I've had other setbacks in my career and come through them.
"If you'd have told us at the start of the tournament that we'd be there in the final at the end, we would have taken it, but at the end of the day that's football. There are always winners and losers, but being with the Ivory Coast, you pick up so much, it's a great experience, even though it was difficult for us.
"We had our big disappointment in the final of course, but we'll try to make up for it next year, that's our big motivation. I think that every time we take part in the tournament there is a great desire and determination to win it and we can use our disappointment from this year to try and do better in 2013.
"We'll keep hoping and hoping and believing that one day, we'll win this tournament. We played well and we'll keep working towards that."
Ivory Coast's loss was Zambia's gain, of course, and Gervinho believes that their emergence underlines the depth of quality in African football.
"In my opinion, African football has been improving every year," he said. "I think that it's already got to a very good level with all the teams and good players of a very good quality.
"African football is coming up to a good level, even if we saw to our cost with the performance of Zambia in the tournament, but this competition will make it easier all [African footballers] to progress and we should all be happy with that."

West University Book Group-September 3
Please join us to discuss Under the Wide and Starry Sky, by Nancy Horan. Wednesday September 3, at 11 a.m.
"Horan's spectacular second novel (following book-club favorite Loving Frank, 2007) has been worth the wait. Brimming with the same artistic verve that drives her complicated protagonists, it follows the loving, tumultuous partnership of Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and his Indiana-born wife, Fanny Osbourne. Fanny, an aspiring artist still tied to her unfaithful first husband when they meet in 1875, is fiery, courageous, and the mother of two living children. Louis, a younger man whose frailty belies a joyous, energetic spirit, dreams of writing full-time. While he perfects his craft, she becomes his protector and editor-collaborator, accompanying him across Europe and America and finally to Samoa in hopes of healing his weak lungs." -Booklist
