The Chairman of Al Habtoor Group today welcomed the French ambassador to the UAE. Khalaf Al Habtoor met with H.E. Alain Azouaou at his Majilis in Dubai. The two men discussed bilateral ties and business links between the UAE and France.
The visit followed a tour of the Al Habtoor Palace construction site on Sheikh Zayed Road at H.E. Azouaou's request. The complex is the largest in the UAE and among the region's biggest and most luxurious hotels & entertainment developments. It will include three luxurious hotels with over 1,600 rooms and suites and will cost $1.33 billion. The Habtoor Palace will consist of the first St. Regis Hotel in Dubai, the flagship W Hotel and the largest Westin in the MENA region as well as a theatre complex.
Mr. Al Habtoor said, "The UAE has a steady economy and France understands the UAE's strategic position as the Gateway to the wider region."
The two countries already have a good business relationship and solid trade ties. The UAE is currently France's number one trading partner in the Gulf, and many French companies have a presence in the UAE.

New York NY (SPX) Jan 21, 2014
A new model by a team of researchers with The City College of New York's Benjamin Levich Institute may shed new understanding on the phenomenon known as discontinuous shear thickening (DST), in which the resistance to stirring takes a sudden jump. Easily observed in a 'kitchen experiment' by mixing together equal amounts of cornstarch and water, DST occurs because concentrated suspensions of hard particles in a liquid respond differently than normal fluids to shear forces.
Because many materials are handled in industrial applications as suspensions, engineers need to understand how to predict their flow properties. However, they have been hard-pressed to understand DST and calculate when it will occur during processing. Since concentrated suspensions are found in everything from consumer products to cement, a range of industries stand to find better ways to manage suspensions.
For simple liquids, such as water or glycerin, resistance increases in proportion to the stirring speed. However, in complex fluids such as suspensions, emulsions and polymers the relationship is not proportional. Resistance increases either faster than the stirring speed - shear thickening - or slower - shear thinning. DST occurs when resistance increases suddenly.
Research associates Ryohei Seto and Romain Mari and chemical engineering Professors Jeffrey Morris and Morton Denn set out to develop a model that would predict how resistance changes in relation to stirring speed. Their findings were reported in "Physical Review Letters" in November.
The model modifies the classical fluid mechanics approach to suspension behavior, in which liquid lubrication keeps particles from contact, to permit contact and to include forces resulting from friction as particles move past one another.
As friction increases two or more particles can act like a single entity with regard to the surrounding fluid. When concentrations of particles and the shear rate reach sufficient levels, the particles form temporary chains that can fill space. This causes jamming, which can make flow difficult or even impossible.
Using the model, the team was "able to accurately reproduce experimental observations of the steep viscosity versus shear rate curves and their evolution with packing friction, both of which are first for numerical simulations," Dr. Eric Brown, Yale University assistant professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, wrote in a commentary published in "Physics."
Future investigations will address moving beyond a simulation "that follows the mechanics of a finite number of particles in a cube to predicting the flow of concentrated suspensions in arbitrary geometries," Professor Denn noted. "A long-term goal is to be able to develop a 'continuum' description of concentrated suspensions in which the behavior is averaged over large numbers of particles."

The Toronto Blue Jays have finally strung together a couple of wins.
Josh Johnson would settle for one at this point.
The right-hander will try to avoid a career-worst fifth consecutive losing start Saturday when the Blue Jays and major league-worst Houston Astros continue their series north of the border.
After Mark Buehrle's two-hitter in Thursday's 4-0 series-opening victory helped Toronto (47-55) end a season-high seven-game skid, the Blue Jays equaled a team record with 12 extra-base hits in Friday's 12-6 victory.
Edwin Encarnacion hit two of the club's five homers, a solo shot and a grand slam in the eight-run seventh. The only other Blue Jay to homer twice in one inning was Joe Carter on Oct. 3, 1993, against Baltimore.
"I don't think you can get any better than that,'' manager John Gibbons said after Toronto won back-to-back games for the first time since a franchise record-tying 11-game surge June 11-23. "He's having another great year (with 28 home runs).''
Johnson (1-6, 5.66 ERA) is not. He's 0-4 with a 7.71 ERA in five starts since defeating the Orioles on June 23 after lasting just two-plus innings in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing five runs and seven hits and calling his performance "pitiful."
"You feel for the guy because he's competing but it just hasn't happened,'' Gibbons said.
Johnson, who also lost four consecutive starts Aug. 9-25 while with the Marlins, is 0-2 with a 4.84 ERA in four career starts versus Houston.
He'll face an Astros team that's dropped 19 of 23 overall and 15 of 19 on the road.
Houston (34-68) will try to get back on track with Dallas Keuchel (4-5, 4.42) going for his first win in six starts. The left-hander was in position to pick up a victory Monday, exiting with a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning, but the bullpen faltered again in a 4-3 loss.
The Astros have blown 15 saves and their relief corps has been tagged for a major league-high 64 homers - 22 more than anyone else in baseball.
"It doesn't matter about what the other team is going to do," manager Bo Porter said. "We have to do a better job of making quality pitches in those situations.''
One positive for Houston heading into the weekend is the play of Marc Krauss, who went 2 for 4 with a homer and four RBIs on Friday. The rookie left fielder had four RBIs in his first 20 games since getting called up June 21 when Trevor Crowe (shoulder) went on the disabled list.
Krauss could get more playing time with J.D. Martinez (sprained left wrist) being placed on the disabled list after getting injured Friday. The club called up center fielder Robbie Grossman to take Martinez's spot.
Jose Reyes is swinging one of the hottest bats for the Blue Jays since the All-Star break. Reyes is hitting .394 during that eight-game stretch with two homers, four doubles and seven RBIs after reaching safely five times and coming up a triple shy of the cycle Friday.
Colby Rasmus' 4-for-5 effort, meanwhile, lifted his average to .393 since the break.
Toronto has won three of four from Houston since losing the first four matchups between these clubs.

WALNUT - Danielle Shanahan is good friends with Redondo Union's talented girls distance corps, so it was only natural that the Bishop Montgomery standout found herself sharing the spotlight Friday night with the Sea Hawks at the 55th annual Mount San Antonio College Relays.
After Redondo lowered its national-leading time in the 4 x 800-meter relay to 9 minutes, 6.57 seconds, Shanahan set the meet record in the 3,200 with a mark of 10:39.23, eclipsing the 2008 standard of 10:46.57 produced by Clovis' Meghan Marvin.
"I barely run the 3,200, so it's still kind of new to me, so to be able to go out and set the meet record shows me the kind of fitness I have," Shanahan said. "I needed to run one this season, but I didn't want to do it at a league meet where I'd be out there running by myself. I wanted it to be a competitive race, so I had to push myself, that's why I decided to do it this weekend because Mt. SAC is such a prestigious meet."
Clovis' Mikayla Soderstrom also ran faster than Marvin's previous record to take second in 10:40.99, but Shanahan's closing speed in the final 800 meters was too much to overcome. El Segundo's Anna Farello was fifth (11:00.15).
"I wanted to be able to get out fast and kick hard and then hold (an 80-second pace) the other six laps," Shanahan said. "I just wanted to show that I was there to run and I was there to win. I knew I had done the training and I knew I had put in the work, so it was important to see where I'm at."
Although Redondo decided to scratch the girls 4x 1,600 relay and not pursue another national-leading mark, the Seahawks delivered another impressive performance in the 4 x 800 after securing gold April 5 at the Arcadia Invitational. Redondo is still the national leader in the 4 x 800 and distance medley relay, along with ranking third in the sprint medley relay.
"They have a great 4 x 800, but I think they just needed a break (in the 4 x 1,600)," Shanahan said. "They had a tough dual meet this week against Mira Costa and they wanted to run both, but it was a last-minute decision (to scratch)."
Redondo's boys clocked 7:50.66 to take fourth in the 4x 800 relay and Carlos Suarez was 11th for the Seahawks in the 3,200 (9:26.11). Palos Verdes was sixth in the boys 4 x 1,600 (17:35.06) and 10th in the girls 4 x 1,600 (21:52.22).

Promises made during the last Railway Budget for Dhanbad division of East Central Railway yet to be fulfilled, coal belt residents are nevertheless ready with a new set of demands for this years budget.
The wish list includes a direct train from Dhanbad to major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Surat etc. The other demands raised during the divisional railway users consultative committee meetings as well the zonal railway users consultative committee meetings include providing a full rake of Allepey Express from Dhanbad. Increasing the frequency of the Dhanbad-Sindri passenger train and extension of Dhanbad Gaya Intercity Express up to Patna and Mughalsarai are some of the other demands.
Speaking to The Telegraph, president of Federation of Dhanbad Zilla Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FDZCCI) Rajiv Sharma, who is also member of the zonal railway users consultative committee, said, We have been demanding direct trains from Dhanbad to important cities for long. He added that majority of Delhi-bound trains originating from Howrah offers a limited quota for Dhanbad passengers.
Students pursuing courses in different engineering and medical colleges of Bengaluru also face a problem as due to lack of direct connectivity, they have to travel via Calcutta each way.
We have time and again sought an increase in the height of the platforms in important urban railway stations of the district like Bhuli and Tetulmari to prevent accidents, said Sharma, adding that they expect the railway ministry to undertake the elevation work in the coming fiscal.
We want the divisional railway authorities to complete the pending work of developing the southern end of Dhanbad station, which is being developed to be on the par with the main station complex, said general secretary of FDZCCI Rajesh Gupta.
Gupta had earlier raised the issue of early completion of the southern end of the station as well as construction of an approach road to the new station complex from Joraphatak during a meeting with railway authorities on January 15. The issue of repair of a railway footbridge at the station was also discussed.

NEW YORK, Feb 14 (Reuters Breakingviews) - U.S. airlines need to fly abroad for better returns. The $11 billion union of US Airways and AMR should boost the industry's profitability. But earnings won't be able to pick up more altitude until America's airlines team up with overseas rivals. Some such deals could nearly double margins. But it requires Congress to lift curbs on foreign ownership.
Right now Wall Street analysts reckon America's two largest airlines are winging their way to solid profits. The consensus is that Delta (DAL.N) will land $2.2 billion this year, a 5.8 percent net margin, while United Continental (UAL.N) is on course for $1.5 billion, or a 3.8 percent margin. That would be pretty robust, but investors are more skeptical - Delta's stock trades at just over five times and United's just under seven times those estimates. And that's after a 60 percent surge for Delta over the past six months and a 45 percent rally for United.
That's probably a tad unfair. After the AMR-US Airways merger, four airlines will control more than 80 percent of domestic routes. That caps eight years of consolidation for U.S. carriers. And since 2008 alone, available seat miles on U.S. airlines have fallen by about 15 percent, according to industry body Airlines for America. All in, that should mean fewer destructive price wars and more efficient carriers. But fears of a return to old practices - and of oil price hikes - clearly remain.
Merging with an overseas airline would bolster the income statement. Granted, there aren't too many profitable airlines to choose from right now. But assume United hooked up with Japan's All Nippon Airways ANA.L (9202.T) and managed to cut costs equal to 2 percent of combined revenue - the midpoint of recent domestic U.S. mergers. That would, based on forward earnings estimates and current low tax rates, mean a combined net margin of 5.6 percent. Run the same calculation for a Delta-ANA tie-up, and the joint net margin would hit 7 percent.
There's just one sticking point: outdated security fears limit foreign fliers to having no more than a 25 percent stake in American carriers. Lifting that would be a smart thing to do.
- On February 14 American Airlines and US Airways announced a plan to merge to form the world's biggest airline by seat miles with a combined equity value of $11 billion.
- The merged airline will be majority-owned by creditors, unions and employees of American parent AMR, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2011.
- The airline will carry the American Airlines name and on a pro forma basis is 2 percent larger than current top dog United Continental Holdings by traffic, as measured by the number of miles flown by paying passengers worldwide.
- The United States restricts foreign ownership of airlines to 25 percent.

Advertising: Using weights
The search engine selects an advertisement at random to display to the user. Weights allow a certain ad to show up more often.
For example, if 3 ads have the default weight of 100, then they will be shown about the same number of times (assuming for the moment that no keywords are defined), that is, each ad will show up 33% of the time. If the first ad has its weight increased to 200, then it will now show up half the time. The formula for determining frequency is the weight of a given ad divided by the weight of all ads, or 200 / (200 + 100 + 100) = 200 / 400 = 50% in this example.
Weights are typically used when a single advertiser provides multiple banners. Assume Bob and Jane have both been promised 50% of the ad impressions, but Bob provides ten banners and Jane provides just one. Jane will have a weight of 100, and each of Bob's banners will have a weight of 10. Each customer will receive half the impressions.

Sandy • Rest assured, the panic button wasn't about to be pressed at any point during Jordan's boys' basketball game against Cottonwood on Tuesday.
Despite wasting an early 14-point lead, the Beetdiggers showed their mettle in the second half, distancing themselves once again from the visiting Colts en route to a 69-48 region victory. Jordan led 18-4 early but trailed before halftime.
"You've got to go hard the whole time," Jordan's Chandler Smith said about the lesson learned from the game. "You can't take any team for granted. They're a good team. They fought and we let down a little bit. But we were focusing more in the second half and doing what we're taught to do."
Cottonwood (5-10), which had lost its first three region games by an average of 26 points, rose to the challenge after the early deficit. Brendan Guzman's free throw capped a 25-10 run and gave the Colts their only lead of the game, 29-28.
The Colts came within two points (36-34) moments into the second half before the Beetdiggers rebuilt the lead to double digits. The third quarter proved to be the biggest momentum changer. Cottonwood committed 10 turnovers and 10 fouls in the period alone. The Colts finished with 24 turnovers and 26 fouls.
Jordan coach Rob Geertsen sounded relieved after the game.
"We're the team that finished the game more than the team that let them back in," Geertsen said. "I think they learned to play 32 minutes and have no let up at all. I have a lot of confidence in the team. I felt they buckled down and settled down. We were able to get stops and expand the lead."
After allowing 32 points in the first half, Jordan's defense surrendered only 16 in the second half. The Beetdiggers (13-4) put together a pair of long scoring spurts in the second half 13-3 during the third quarter and 16-4 in the fourth.
"We went man to man and played our shell defense in the second half," Geertsen said. "The defense came together and shut them down."
Guzman's basket got the Colts within 53-44 early in the fourth quarter before the Beetdiggers finished the game with their final run.
After dealing with foul trouble and being limited to just five points in the first half, Jordan's Brandon Pasker finished with 17 points to lead all scorers. Marcus Gutierrez added 15 points, and Smith had 13 for the Beetdiggers. Zach Scott had 11 points off the bench to lead Cottonwood, while Guzman scored 10.
Jordan took advantage of its opportunities from the foul line, converting 26 of its 37 free-throw attempts compared to 9 of 17 for Cottonwood.

Village cricket goes online
BBC Sport Online looks at Play-Cricket - a system designed to take cricket club management into the 21st Century.
Amateur cricket has, thankfully, progressed from the days when 11 villagers would be rounded up in the pub before the night of a game to represent their local side.
These days most village sides have embraced the world of e-mail.
Rather than spend hours on the phone trying to get 11 players to agree to a fixture, a bulk e-mail gets a much faster response with a lot more ease.
But technology moves on apace, and the club website is the latest idea.
In essence, it's like scanning the noticeboard pinned up in the pavilion, but doing so from your office computer or your home PC.
However, an amateur cricket side is unlikely to have a web technician among its numbers, which is where an idea launched by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) comes into play.
In fact, Play-Cricket (www.play-cricket.com) was launched last year, but because there was a fee involved, hardly anyone was interested in signing up.
But in March it was re-launched and miraculously there was no charge involved. The response has obviously been a lot better, and now an impressive 435 clubs are on board, plus 87 leagues and 25 County Boards.
The Kent Premier League has decided to put every division and club on the site and several thousand players' details are now registered online.
Julian Goode, the ECB website manager, explains: "What we offer is a series of free administration tools which allow clubs to run their teams better and make cost savings.
"They can then interact with each other. Individual players can notify team captains of their availability and captains can pick their teams accordingly.
"As more and more clubs in a a particular league sign on, it builds a sense of community, and allows individual clubs to see how they are doing as a season progresses."
"Or let's say you're trying to organise a tour to Cornwall or something, and need to add a few fixtures, it's the ideal way to do that sort of thing.
"There are also clubs coming from overseas to England, looking for games."
He says Play-Cricket has the potential to work well with schools and the junior sections of clubs - largely due to the internet know-how of youngsters.
The simplest way to get started is to add your own club's colours and badges on a simple template which can be downloaded from the Play-Cricket home page.
If you have your own website already, you can simply show a link to your own club's page from the Play-Cricket database.
But perhaps the best reason to get involved is that the Holy Grail for every club side, the ECB National Club Cricket Championship - with a final at Lord's - is also being conducted on the website.

Criminals cash in on land reform
Report five: Eldorado dos Carajas
As Brazil gears up for presidential elections in October, BBC Brasil's Paulo Cabral travels through remote mountains, arid countryside and deep jungle to find out what 21st Century politics mean in the Brazil that normally goes unreported.
Six years ago the workers of Eldorado dos Carajas fought the military police for their land - but now they want the authorities back to clamp down on thieves and drug dealers.
But now the crime rate is soaring on the swathes of land eventually seized by the government for redistribution.
Many of the peasants who first settled the land have left. Those who remain long for police to establish law and order.
When I arrived, 20 trucks filled with police and agents from Incra, the Brazilian institute responsible for land reform, had just driven into the city.
The authorities were launching a big operation on the 60,000 hectare Bamerindus farm, which was supposed to have become a model settlement when it was appropriated by the government in 1998.
"The goal of this operation goal is to reinstall public order," said federal officer Claudio Dornelas.
"You can see that here there are people who have no links to the land. They are criminals, robbers and drug dealers that have dominated this area," he said.
And as I left, he warned me to be careful in the region. "Be alert, like a rabbit," he said.
The director of the Association of the Settlers of the Bamerindus Farm, Eduardo Lira, said the criminals had moved in as the settlers deserted their land.
"The settlements are almost totally abandoned. The people get disappointed and begin planting marijuana. And there are some criminals that flee the city to hide around here," he said.
But he said the Bamerindus farm is not the only one with problems. "The situation is bad in a lot of settlements around here," he said.
Mr Lira hopes the authorities' actions will enable the settlers to receive state help and to increase production.
Despite the still fresh memory of the 1996 violence, the remaining settlers are asking for help and want a police presence inside the farms.
"We feel fine when we see some authority here. We are not afraid," he said.

Since the 1987 appearance of A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage, Bryan A. Garner has proved to be a versatile and prolific writer on legal-linguistic subjects. This collection of his essays shows reveals both profound scholarship and sharp wit.
The essays cover subjects as wide-ranging as learning...
The essays cover subjects as wide-ranging as learning to write, style, persuasion, contractual and legislative drafting, grammar, lexicography, writing in law school, writing in law practice, judicial writing, and all the literature relating to these diverse subjects.
Some have called Garner a controversialist, and he doesn't shrink from controversy here: he engages legal academia, at word-bungling law reviews, at writers who interlard their writing with overlong citations, at judges who use extremely arcane words for little or no reason, and at the many conventions that tend to mire legal writing in perpetual mediocrity.
In one of the most entertaining chapters -- "Bizarreries" -- Garner takes on judges who pun on litigants' names, legal writers who mangle Latin, and, in one of the most extended yet entertaining exchanges imaginable on such a subject, and people who take preposterous positions on wording issues (such as whether "Sincerely" is an erroneous complimentary close). There are moving tributes to Professor Charles Alan Wright, Judge Thomas Gibbs Gee, and Sir Robert Megarry (whose last book Garner finished). There are piquant book reviews that damn the work of some famous writers, such as Lynne Truss (Eats, Shoots & Leaves) and the linguist Stephen Pinker, as well as enthusiastic recommendations of books that Garner finds meritorious. In the final chapter, Garner collects "recommended sources on language and writing." This one-of-a-kind bibliography guides readers to seminal texts in virtually every language-related field, from brief-writing to playwriting to poetry to linguistics to general semantics.
In her foreword, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg declares the book to be "a 'must read' primer" for her law clerks. Anyone with a lively interest in language, writing, and law will find this book hard to lay aside.
Excerpt from a Review by William Safire
"Garner on Language and Writing," by Bryan A. Garner (American Bar Association, $60, but worth it for 800 pages and a thorough index, which is becoming a lost art). In his current compilation of a lifetime's profound essays and speeches, Garner wades into language and legal controversy and often lets his hair down. He recalls a breakfast with Justice Antonin Scalia, who declared that he cared a great deal about words and their proper use.
"There's a word for people like me," Scalia said. "An essayist in Harper's coined it." Garner helped out by recollecting SNOOT, an acronym for "Syntax Nudniks of Our Time," described by the novelist David Foster Wallace as "this reviewer's nuclear family's nickname à clef for a really extreme usage fanatic, the sort of person whose idea of Sunday fun is to hunt for mistakes in the very prose of Safire's column." (Those misteakes are inserted by subversive copy editors.)" --William Safire, New York Times, 4/26/2009

Nasty weather threatens Gulf Coast for Christmas
Source: AP-Excite
By JANET McCONNAUGHEY
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Nasty weather, including a chance of strong tornadoes and howling thunderstorms, could be on the way for Christmas Day along the Gulf Coast from east Texas to north Florida.
The storms held off long enough, though, to let Christmas Eve bonfires light the way for Pere Noel along the Mississippi River, officials said.
Farther north, much of Oklahoma and Arkansas were under a winter storm warning, with freezing rain, sleet and snow expected on Christmas. A blizzard watch is out for western Kentucky. And no matter what form the bad weather takes, travel on Tuesday could be dangerous, meteorologists said.
The storms could bring strong tornadoes or winds of more than 75 mph, heavy rain, quarter-sized hail and dangerous lightning in Louisiana and Mississippi, the National Weather Service said. The worst storms are likely from Winnsboro, La., to Jackson and DeKalb, Miss., according to the weather service's Jackson office.

Is it common to get tornadoes at the same time as snow ?

2. Trying to decide right now if Christmas is worth it
We have to drive from Tallahassee to Panama City Florida and back to have Christmas with my husband's family. Driving over won't be too bad but we have to drive back tonight and the weather by then is predicted to be horrible.
I'd just as soon stay home. Only two weeks after my carpal tunnel surgery, my endurance is not great and four hours total in the car, plus who knows how many hours with the family is far more than I have been able to tolerate so far. Add in the aches and pains I get from low pressure systems and even with Vicodin I will not be comfortable.
If my husband wants to go, I'll let him. But I may just stay here and be achy by my self.

BenQ W1500 Home Projector – Review
The BenQ W1500 comes with a one year parts and labor warranty. For projectors selling between $1000 and $2500, that's worse than average. One year is the minimum found on today's projectors anywhere near this price range.
The lamp warranty is 500 hours or 180 days. Not great, considering BenQ used to offer 90 days or 500 hours years ago, when their lamps were rated 2000/3000 hours. It is typical in the industry, that lamp warranties haven't been extended as much as lamp life.
I would estimate that about half of the projectors in the range have one year warranties, but several manufacturers do way better.
Let's look first, at the direct DLP competition, Optoma also offers one year, as does Acer. Viewsonic though offers a three year parts and labor warranty. Panasonic is at two years, but does have a limit on hours, that would shorten the warranty for heavy users. Epsons multiple projectors in that range of prices offers up 2 years parts and labor, and the only rapid replacement program of any brand (for both years). One of theirs has 3 years, and 3 of replacement.
I don't like one year warranties, for fear that a warranty type problem in your second year of ownership, will probably be expensive without warranty. By comparison, a failure in the 3rd year of operation has a silver lining – you just might be able to by a much better replacement, for far less.
3rd party warranty programs are pretty inexpensive. I don't have as high a confidence in them, in general as I do for manufacturer warranties, as I was aware of occasional issues, when I owned a large online projector sales company.

European Law
Have European Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
i am a US citizen with residency and work permit residing in Spain. I have a home in the US where I reside a few months of the year as well as a bank account for my expenses. I hope to be able to retire to the US within a couple of years. Recently the Spanish government has passed a law that all foreigners in residing in Spain must declare the assets they have in other countries; homes, pensions, bank accounts, etc. Given that the Spanish government is one of the most corrupt in Europe and they are undoubtedly looking for ways to pay their debt I am at a loss as to what I should do. Does the American government have an agreement with Spain to provide that information if they are asked.
Please remember to RATE my answer by using the smiley faces OK SERVICE, GOOD SERVICE OR EXCELLENT SERVICE. If you seek clarification please ask.

Mark Your Calendars: August 18 Is Wear Your Helmet to Work Day
3 hours ago in News
Wear your racing gear to work and win prizes.
This is part question, part rant.
Last week when the "Epic Snowstorm" was brewing to hit our area our bosses were talking like it was going to be a huge opportunity for sales. Mind you in the Retail Tire biz, winter storms do create a nice boost in sales during a very dry ($ wise) time of the year.
I could practically hear them salivating when the State of Emergency was called in VA before a single flake hit the ground. They instructed us to open 30 minutes early on last Saturday and to anticipate "heavy customer flow"
Obviously the storm hit Saturday like a bitch slap from old man winter. In my store, only my Service Manager showed up because he lives 2 blocks away while every other technician called out due to being burred. I was excused from going in by our Area Director considering my drive to work is 60 miles one way. The "heavy customer flow" was non-existent, not one person even wandered near our store.
The kicker was that to top it all off was that we would later get blamed (every store in the area) for not taking advantage of the situation and making some huge sales boom. Yes, in the middle of a blizzard we were supposed to convince people to venture out and buy tires.
Whats more interesting is that our area encompasses 3 states, DE being one. DE had called a State of Emergency, but those stores remained open. Theoretically if an employee refused to come in because of conditions, could they can him because of it? If said employee did try and make it in and had been stopped by the police for being on the road what recourse would he have for just trying to get to work?
I have a feeling I know the unfortunate answers (Yes find a way to get here or else; Not our fault you were driving during SoE) But I figure someone on here would know better than I.
If it's illegal to drive and public transportation is not running, how do they expect people to get to work?
Barring walking, which, in a blizzard is almost more dangerous than driving, I don't see how. It's not like the US has a complex, omnipresent subway system like London or something.
If someone did get fired for refusing to come to work (and you didn't work for snow removal or the emergency services sector), I could see them having a pretty strong case for a wrongful termination argument.
That would be wrongful termination, and i've bitch slapped my previous employer with it.
Even if the county that the store operated in DIDN'T have a state of emergency declared, if the county that the employee resides in declared one, they're off scott free. Enjoy your day off.
Considering my commute they've been pretty understanding, but the asinine nature of the corporation is getting to me. From expecting huge sales during a blizzard to blaming us for not making said sales happen.
But from a legal stand point I was sure there was a way they skirt around these SoE issues. Such as stating its the employees responsibility to get to work, the corp. didn't make them drive their car to get there. And of course even if you make a stand and refuse to come in I'm sure they can start nitpicking you to find reasons to fire you aside from your refusal to leave the house during a SoE.
Now would it still be wrongful term if this were in a "Work at Will" State. I think then the answer would be even more unfortunate.
They CAN find other nitpicking items to fire over, but they specifically CANNOT use failure to appear to work that day as an example in any way on the "firing report" or whatever they use.
Time to polish up that Resume', you work for idiots.
Good luck with that. My place of worked is closed, I'm not allowed to drive on the roads, and I am expected to take paid leave for it if I do not report to work.
AFAIK, a declaration of a state of emergency is nothing other than the governor going to the feds to ask for money. It isn't a curfew. It isn't an evacuation. It doesn't require you to stay at home. It is completely irrelevant to the conversation IMO.
Still sounds like you're working for idiots.
I think we're talking about the kind where the local government tells everyone to stay off the roads...
Right now in MD, they have declared a stage 3 snow emergency, which means if you are not a emergency worker, you will get a ticket if you are driving on the roads.
When they declared state of emergency here the wording indicated employees who were essential to the functioning of their unit or required for weather related services were expected to report to work. But, employers were asked to be considerate for employees who couldn't show up.
Since you are employed by a private company, "state of emergency" really doesn't apply to you. That said, your employer should have been more considerate.
in Ohio, there are levels of emergency -
Level 1 just advises you stay home if possible, and makes parking on public roads a fineable offense (since theyre gonna plow).
Level 2 - basically just harsher warning not to venture out, theres some wording that makes it appear that only 4 wheel drive vehicles are alllowed on public roads, but its not actually limiting anyones driving priveleges...basically just a tool to try to keep people off roads and out of ditches
Level 3 - its actually illegal to be out on public roads unless youre on your way home from wherever you were when the level 3 warning was issued, or youre out on a true emergency - medical etc.
If a level 3 is issued for the county my employer operates in, or in the county I reside in, I can take off, unpaid if I choose, or I can take vacation time. If theres no level 3, but I still feel its unsafe to come to work, I can take off, but I have to take vacation time, basically making unpaid time off not an option.
That gets real hairy when we have a bad-ish snowstorm in late December - if your out of time, your out of luck, gotta come in. It would be really interesting to see how a suit would go down for someone claiming damages from a snow related auto incident because they were forced to come out in the snow because they didnt have any time off left.

I've been doing that for awhile prior. This just put the Stupid Icing on the Idiot Cake.
I just found a really bad time to realize I work for a common senseless corporation.

Cruisers have a really hard time catching a snomobile and the choppers ain't flying. YeeeHAAAA!!!
when I worked in radio I had both a State issued press pass and an essential employee card. It was fun to get stopped by the cops on the way to work, show them my credentials, and be happily on my way.
Once I got stopped 30 miles from the station. Told the nice state trooper I was out picking up somebody for the station... it was great, the storm was over, the roads were groomed, but not plowed to the tarmac.. it was 30 miles of tail out snow drifting there.. and 30 miles back.
Taco Bell ran into a problem where they forced a manager to work under adverse conditions(90+ hours a week). He fell asleep on the way to work one morning and crashed. Major injures, out for months. He sued Taco Bell and won millions. They were held culpable for forcing him to work those hours under threat of termination. I'm thinking something similar would apply in your situation. Maybe they didn't force you to drive, but they implied that you could be fired if you didn't.

Time to start knocking over banks. YeeeHaaa/money beoitch!
Two things: I'd think they'd have to fire EVERYBODY for failing to show up for work. Second, if they're not firing "critical" people (ER docs, Police) for failing to appear it's pretty hard to make a case for justified termination of retail sales people I'd think...

Funny, I had a similar thing happen. I had a thread up asking about the legal standpoint on rest between shifts, I was pretty much told "Only if you're a trucker" and "Suck it up, be happy you have a damn job" so I left it alone.
My commutes on the best of days is an hour, and the store doesn't close till 9 or later, and I need to be up at 4 to open the store on time, and swing shifts from day to day are the norm. Do the math and you can figure out why I was asking.
The kicker was one week where I had several open to close shifts sprung on me out of the blue, pushing my 50 hour week to 70. By the end there I was so exhausted my body would not allow me to wake up and the store opened an hour late. Sure enough the shiny happy boss told me if I can't open on time maybe I really don't want my job.
One one of my trips home during that period, I had a vision of a man wrestling a bear greco-roman style on the road in front of me. I guess the moral of the story is that I should have swerved to avoid them and wrapped myself around the nearest telephone pole.
The law says suck it up, doesn't mean a jury will see it the same way.
At will employment state or no, there are laws.
Refusing to report to work legally isn't firable until 72 hours. Then its called abandonment. Snow or not. Now the reality is peaple call in and quit all the time. But it's not how you are supposed to do it.
I assure you, your manager has had maybe a booklet presented to him regarding human resources and labor laws. But he is not trained.
Opening the store an hour late is not a fireable offense. It is a documentable offense and several of them gets you fired.
Unfortunetly, your commute is your problem, but if you were fired for failing to perform on a 70 hour work week, you are entitled to unemployment, and your company gets to pay it.
If your manager just decides they don;t like you attitude and fire you, unemployment. Firing someone is a long process and most employees don;t realize it. Even in an "at will" employment state, they have to follow the rules. I would almost bet the spiteful manager who pulls crap like this doesn;t bother to document anything. So you simply call the umemployment office, tell them you were fired without cause. The company will balk and say "He opened the store an hour late and his attitude sucks." Employment office will say "Oh, well I presume you documented these incidents and can produce proof of these transgressions and that he was couseled." Employer goes "...uhhhh." Employee collects paycheck as well as backpay for the two weeks that this went on.
Obviously this is not a discussion to have with your manager, its something to keep in your back pocket when he decides to be a tool and fire you.
If he does, don;t sign a damm thing. They will try to get you to sign an agreement that you quit in order to collect your last check. That is also illegal. Demand your check be mailed to you, and if they fail to do so, call the HR office at the headquarters and mentioned lawsuit (You can't sue them for this, but the thought scares HR types).
The joy is, his job will now be in extreme jepordary for failing to follow compnay HR proceedures. You better believe HR will be documenting it and if he gets fired, it will be done right.

In Delaware it is. Non-essential citizens are expected to stay off the roads to leave them clear for emergency vehicles and snow removal. Of course there is some weaseling allowed in determining what is "essential", but the expectation is that unless things will die if you are not at work, you should stay home.

I think you work for the same place I used to some years ago. Never happier to leave...
i'm still wondering...
if you aren't aloud to dry... who do they think is going to walk into the store to get new tires put on?

The Siege of Sarajevo encompassed the assault and eventually besiege by Serbs of Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996.
The Serbs wanted to create a new Serbian State of Republic Srpska, that would include parts of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Over the course of the occupation by the Serbs, an estimated 10,000 people were killed or went missing, including over 1,500 children.
The Bosnian government officially declared an end to the siege of Sarajevo on 29 February 1996, following the signing of the Daytona Agreement on 14 December 1995, that incorporated the ceasefire between both parties.

"We had an amazing time! Or instructor Levi was awesome and very patient. One thing you might want to include when offering this experience- is that it does not include Gas. Why? Since you obviously won't be able to ride the snowmobiles without any gas.... To my point- I would rather pay more- but have everything included. Otherwise it was really awesome! Thank you! Laura "

The story begins in darkness as the religious leaders in Jerusalem gather in a shadowy room, trying to decide what to do about a trouble maker known as Jesus. Knowing that His days on earth are numbered, Jesus gathers His disciples together for The Last Supper, reassuring them that He will be with them in spirit.
Jesus retires to a garden to pray, but is captured by soldiers before dawn, having been betrayed by Judas, one of his disciples. Within a short time He is crucified, but does not die - not in any meaningful sense. On the third day after His crucifixion, He is resurrected, eventually fulfilling His destiny by ascending to Heaven.

Jrue Holiday and Thaddeus Young each scored 15 points and Evan Turner collected 12 points and seven rebounds for the 76ers, who are beginning the season with a five-game road trip.
Philadelphia imposed its will on the defensive end from the start, jumping out to a 25-18 lead after the first quarter and cruising into the break ahead 48-34.
The 76ers really put their foot down out of the locker room, beginning the third quarter with a 19-0 run to stretch the lead out to 67-34. Holiday scored eight points during the spurt and set Iguodala up for a deep 3-pointer.
Phoenix missed its first nine shots of the third and turned the ball over three times as the 76ers pulled away.
The Suns did not get anything going offensively until the fourth quarter, when Philadelphia emptied its bench. Steve Nash scored four points on 2-of-11 shooting and committed six turnovers against one assist in just over 17 minutes.
Ronnie Price scored 16 points off the bench to lead Phoenix, while Grant Hill added 14.

LEGO Ideas
|Related themes:
LEGO Ideas, formerly LEGO CUUSOO, is a service hosted by the LEGO Group, which allows LEGO fans to submit set ideas. If an idea submitted to the website gains 10,000 (originally 1,000) supporters, it stands a chance of being produced as an official LEGO product.
CUUSOO Systems and the LEGO Group began working together in 2008, and the theme was launched worldwide on April 23, 2011. Originally, it was based solely in Japan, and LEGO CUUSOO projects required only 1,000 supports to be considered for production. In October 2011, it was announced that, starting that month, anyone could upload a creation to lego.cuusoo.com, and if their creation received enough (10,000) supporters, it will be reviewed by the LEGO Group for a chance to be made into an official LEGO product.
LEGO Ideas[edit]
On April 30th, 2014, the CUUSOO website was taken down, and replaced with LEGO Ideas. The concept of submitting ideas stayed the same, although several rules were added or changed (for example, you no longer have to be 18 years or older to submit a project, as was the previous rule).

By Natalie, Contributing Writer
We talk a lot on Keeper of the Home about how to be good stewards of the bodies God gave us by feeding them real food that nourishes. But how zealous are we in feeding our spirits with real food?
Real Food vs. Junk Food
The Creator made us as integrated whole human beings with bodies, minds, and spirits, and He graciously provided us with all we need to be healthy. For our spirits He gives us direct access to His objective words through His gift of the Bible.
We don't have to figure out life for ourselves and come up with as many different opinions as there are people in the world. God already has it figured out for us. Since He's pretty wise, we can trust Him.
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." (John 6:35)
Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal. (John 6:27)
But he answered, "It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4)
The Word of God is the only REAL food for our soul. It comes directly from the source. It is organic. It is pure. "The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times." (Proverbs 30:5)
But we like junk food, don't we?
The greasy, artificial colors and flavors are of the enemy and his lies. Junk food is cheap and readily available everywhere we turn. It's on our TVs, in our books and magazines, on our computers, in the malls, on the billboards, in our schools, and on our radios. And we're silly, sinful little Wemmicks. We crave it.
Junk food appeals to all our senses, and it temporarily satisfies us. But the fix soon wears off, and we end up reaping the short term consequences of sluggishness, heartaches, distraction, and self-focus—as well as the long term consequences of bitterness, sorrow, and lack of purpose in life. It's never worth it, but still, we struggle with its alluring temptation.
The only truly satisfying food for our spirits is the Lord, Himself. Just like we need to adjust our taste for wholesome foods, we need to adjust our spiritual cravings as well. "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psalm 34:8) "The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord!" (Psalm 22:26)
God's Word is our meat and potatoes. But we can also benefit from supplements that help fill in the cracks of our understanding and wisdom. God has provided us with one another—the body of Christ—to encourage, comfort, and build us up in strength. I like to think of books, music, visual media, and blogs as supplements, too.
What kind of supplements are you taking in?
Are they merely fillers? Artificial and shallow? Or do they augment what God is teaching you through His Word? Do they encourage you to admire and pursue temporary pleasures and the stroking of your vanity— or do they spur you on to running hard after God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength?
"If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." C.S Lewis, The Weight of Glory
When life goes sour—and it does—what do you turn to to alleviate your suffering? Do you trust man-made, quick fixes and your own sensibilities to guide you toward restored spiritual health? Or do you turn to the Master Physician to heal your spirit? He knows exactly what you need. And when you need it.
He doesn't always work on our time table because He has a greater purpose in mind that will ultimately work for our good—and His glory. Sometimes He has to perform major heart surgery to bring us into a deeper sense of wholeness and spiritual health. His goal is our joy and peace. He knows that will only be achieved when we have surrendered everything to Him.
Milk vs. Meat
Mama's milk is the perfect food—for a baby. But would that same child be healthy and strong if, at age 10, he was still relying on milk alone to meet his nutritional needs?
"But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?" (I Corinthians 3:1-2)
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:12-14)
As we build our relationship with Christ, spending time with Him in His Word and in prayer, immersing ourselves in Truth, embracing grace, and striving to walk in obedience, we will GROW strong and healthy!
Our character will develop. God will start smoothing out some of those rough edges. Our love and concern for others will increase. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and faithfulness will be evident in varying degrees.
Milk has its role in your life, but don't spend a lifetime living on it.
May God give us the power, discipline, and self-control to pursue the wholesome goodness and realness of Himself. Only then will we be able to fulfill the purpose for which He created us: to turn around and feed others—and to bring Him glory.
What do you do to help keep your family spiritually well fed?

The White House and NASCAR are downplaying a Sunday incident in which some race fans booed first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Biden.
Obama and Biden served as grand marshals for the race at Homestead-Miami Speedway to promote their Joining Forces project on behalf of military families.
Listening to the video, it is hard to gauge the intensity of the critics, as much of the crowd was drowned out by a military flyover and other pre-race noise.
"The NASCAR community and the vast majority of those attending our race Sunday welcomed the first lady and Dr. Jill Biden and the military families in attendance," said Marcus Jadotte, NASCAR vice president of public affairs. "We are proud to support military families across the country and proud to support the Joining Forces initiative."
Obama and Biden also served as official starters for the race along with Sgt. Andrew Berry, a wounded warrior, and his family.
Kristina Schake, communications director for the first lady, said in a statement:
"Mrs. Obama was proud to join NASCAR in recognizing our nation's veterans and military families to raise awareness of this important issue for all Americans.
As she has always said, she will proudly stand with anyone making a major commitment to serve and honor our military community, and yesterday NASCAR did just that.
They paid special tribute to our veterans and military families at the championship race by donating over 5,000 tickets to military families and by honoring Sergeant Berry and his family, true American heroes.
Mrs. Obama and Dr. Biden enjoyed their visit to the speedway, and are looking forward to working across the country to honor America's veterans and military families."
The two women received a warmer reception at the pre-race meeting with NASCAR drivers; the Associated Press reported that they received a standing ovation as Michelle Obama said NASCAR has been "amazing in terms of its support, not just today but every day, for military families."
Earlier, she spoke at a NASCAR-Joining Forces barbecue for military families, telling them, "We all know that we wouldn't be able to enjoy the freedoms that we have if it weren't for your sacrifice."
The first lady added:
We know you guys are moms and dads juggling it all alone while someone is deployed.
For all the military kids out there, we want the whole country to know we know that you're sacrificing as well. That it's not easy to have your mom and dad away from home for long periods of time, but you guys are strong.
You guys are leaders in your own right. You're taking care of your parents. You're getting good grades. And I know you're eating your vegetables, right?

Both students at Gainesville High School are smart students and I praise them. I do not know either one of them. But I am a mother of a great daughter who is 41 years old today.
In life if you have a few good friends it is better than having 100 false friends. The reason I say that is because I lost my husband and best friend 43« years and five months ago. Also a month ago, I lost another best friend of over 52 years.
No matter what you go through, love God and put him first. Then love your family, friends and even your enemies. We should live like it is our last day on earth. We do not know when our last day will be because we are living on borrowed time.
