The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.0536 Thursday, 27 December 2012
Date: December 27, 2012 2:23:10 AM EST
Subject: Children and Shakespeare
Richard Waugaman's post of 22/12/12, in referring to a new book 'Teaching Shakespeare to Children' by playwright, Ken Ludwig, mentions instances where some young children can be fascinated by Shakespeare's language without really understanding the words. The suggested reason being that it is the aesthetic quality which attracts their interest. I remember that there was an extended discussion on this subject on this Conference many years ago. I do not have a record of it, nor can I remember the date, but I am sure it would come to light if a search were made of the records.

Crash, prang wallop what a write-off...
Reporter: Robbie Gill
Date online: 22 April 2014
A junction said by the council to have been the site of a handful of minor accidents has in reality had seven accidents in the past two years - four of them in the past four months
The Chronicle reported on April 7 how two women — one of them pregnant — were taken to hospital after a collision at the junction of Waterloo Street and Rhodes Bank.
According to council figures, only five incidents have been reported there in the last three years - but a quick glance through the Chronicle picture library revealed evidence of seven incidents in the last two years at the accident hotspot.
Drivers are starting to get fed-up that nothing is being done to make the junction safer.
Glodwick-based driving instructor Forhad Miah (21) said: "Something needs to be done about the road markings because people can't see them. When I bring my students down here they don't know it is a give-way point."
The council's figures, from Greater Manchester Police, only report those accidents in which injuries are caused.
Incidents reduced significantly in 2012 when Metrolink works brought traffic to a standstill, but accidents have become more regular since then.
Councillor Dave Hibbert said of the previous accident: "Our records show there have been five minor accidents in the last three years - most from drivers failing to give way."
He said road markings had been worn away by the increased traffic flow caused by Metrolink works. These are due to be replaced in May, and road repairs made.
But the improvements will come too late for the latest accident at the junction: two more cars - a Nissan Qashqai and a Ford Galaxy - were damaged there last week. There were no serious injuries.
Forhad Miah is right. Many of Oldham's street markings are beyond worn out, and are not visible. A survey by 'Fleet News' found half the UKs road markings are worn out.
This puts drivers safety and lives at risk, in a way which would be simply unacceptable if the private sector were responsible.
Corporate manslaughter needs to be extended to the public sector to concentrate the minds of those in charge !
i work nr this area and there is a prang on a weekly basis mr hibbert burying his head in the sand like the traffic lights in shaw alls well in there eyes....
all it needs is a mini roundabout
All it needs is a better standard of observant driving--End of.
Spot on effieuk.
Whether the markings are faded or it is an unmarked junction, motorists should sinmply drive with the appropriate due care and attention required and not simply assume they can drive through the junction. As a driving instructor Mr Miah should be aware of this and teach his learner drivers accordingly. Stop passing the buck for what is poor driving.
Sounds like Greater Manchester Police need to refine their data collection.
LATICS38 - Regarding the Shaw crossing, the new vastly improved system was installed within six working weeks. Compare that to the six years in control of the Borough that the LibDem councillors had the opportunity to deal with the situation and achieved nothing.
Well done Chronicle. They always say theres no problem

Low interest rates and high fund charges mean thousands of pension savers are losing money in cash funds that are supposed to be a safe haven from volatile stock markets.
Savers in the Standard Life Pension Managed Cash are losing money because the 1% annual charge is higher than the returns on the fund. But it's not the only fund suffering.
How can you ensure a better return on pension funds on deposit?
John Douglas from independent financial advisors Invesco explains.

About Me
Right now I'm working on building up an awesome book, which means I'm open to tfp/tfcd if the ideas for the shoot sound interesting and beneficial. I'm looking for commercial, editorial, beauty.. all kinds of things. I've done a lot of normal shoots, so I'm also looking for edgy/artsy shots to help diversify my portfolio.
I am professional, flexible, and love to have fun while working. I'm a cheerleader so I bring a lot of energy, but I'm also tasteful and not into trashy photos. I'm a trained ballet, jazz and hip hop dancer which I find can add a special element to photos.
I am NOT looking for adult or nude work of any kind, sorry.

2/8/17 — It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Buford "Bud" Chandonia (Cottage #53). We are sharing an announcement that Ron Chandonia posted on Facebook on February 2:
My father died late this afternoon. Mom and I, and Chris and her husband Ed, were with him throughout his short but difficult final struggle with congestive heart failure. As I spent the night with him at the hospital yesterday, he spoke repeatedly of his desire to move on to "see what the answer really is." Presumably, he now knows for sure. Dad was part of the Greatest Generation. Last night we were talking of the many people who benefited from his long and caring life. "But I didn't do enough," he insisted. "I should have done more." The Greatest Generation. RIP.
1-31-17 — We have sad new. Sandor Jankovich (Cottage # 79) passed away on January 20, 2017.

1/10/16: Happy 2016 Homeowners!
The barge repairs are finished. The plan is to place the barge back in the water via 2 cranes on Monday January 11, 2016. All power going to the Island will be shut off temporarily during this process.
Due to the weather conditions it is very unlikely that the barge will be "parked" in the channel this season. We will continue to keep everyone updated.
We wanted to provide the latest updates on the barge:
- The barge was relocated in order to inspect and repair the area that was sitting on the beams.
- Large reinforcing and repair plates are in place; island and mainland side. 95% of welding on these are complete.
- Welding & patching continues on the leaks and holes discovered during inspection.
- Top deck work needs to be finalized: tack down loose plating, install plate across the weak area.
The barge has been removed from the water. We could use help to clean the bottom of the barge. If you are interested, please come to the landing at 9 a.m. tomorrow. We recommend that you wear old clothes, you will need to bring a scrapper.
Thanks! DIA Board
On December 8, 2015 the electric company will be turning off all power to the island.
This will occur at 9 a.m. with an estimated duration of 5 hours, or the power will be back on at approximately 2 p.m. The power outage is due to the barge being removed from the water. The entire barge landing will now be considered a construction site, with no access for parking.
The company leading this project requires all homeowners to stay at least 500 feet away from their equipment for their safety. We hope to have pictures of this project posted to the website as soon as possible to keep everyone informed.
12/7/15: Sadly, we report that Mary Beth McGrath's mother, Helen recently passed away. There will be a Memorial Mass celebrated on Thursday, December 10, at 6:00pm at Saint Pius X Catholic Church, 52553 Fir Road, Granger, IN 46530 (corner of Fir and 23). You are invited to celebrate her life with her family and friends. For those of you who cannot be there in person, please keep Helen and our family in your prayers.
11/19/15 update: Northern Indiana Construction company estimates the removal and inspection of the barge will start the week of November 30, 2015. Continue to check your email and the island website for updates.

New Captain America Picture
Steve Rogers is our new cover star
It's that time of the month, the day we reveal the new Empire cover and its stars-and-stripes covered star, Captain America: The First Avenger. Doesn't he look upstanding and anti-Nazi-y? Roll on World War II, we say.
The film, of course, tells the story of skinny, weak Steve Rogers (Chris Evans. plus a bunch of digital trickery), who is determined to fight in World War II despite constantly being turned down for service on medical grounds, and who becomes a volunteer for a Super Soldier Serum formula which turns him into the ultimate soldier (Chris Evans, plus a weight regime that would kill lesser men). Only problem is the fiendish Nazis he's going to have to fight, led by their ruthless commander Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) and his men.
Click the cover for a full preview of the new issue
"Scripts had been developed that took place half in World War Two, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man," says Marvel chief Kevin Feige. "So we finally said, 'If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?' Well, we'd set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-ass Captain America movie we wanted to."
"I've always loved Raiders and the tone that it had," says director Joe Johnston. "It was period but didn't feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we're doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It's funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action."
And he's not just an American hero, argues Evans. "I think he's the ideal human," says Evans. "Not just American. It's what being a good person is. Steve's managed to overcome all the shortcomings he's had in life and he does what's good and what he believes is right."

A burglar bashed a baby to death in his cot while robbing a Victorian home, a court has heard.
Harley Hicks, 20, of North Bendigo, has been charged with murdering 10-month-old Zayden Veal by striking him with a baton during a robbery of the family's Bendigo home.
Prosecutor Michele Williams, SC, said Hicks unplugged a baby monitor and struck Zayden about 25 times to the head with a homemade baton he carried with him.
''Let me put it bluntly to you: he bashed the child with sufficient force to cause these very serious injuries,'' she told the jury in Hicks' Victorian Supreme Court trial in Bendigo.
Ms Williams said Hicks went on a robbery spree targeting homes and cars in the area around baby Zayden's Long Gully home in the early hours of June 15, 2012.
He stole a pair of sunglasses and a wallet containing close to $2000 from the home, Ms Williams said.
''Did the baby stir, I don't know,'' she said during her opening address on Tuesday.
''Perhaps that's the logical one (motive) for you.''
Zayden's mother, Casey Veal, found her limp and unresponsive son in blood-stained sheets about 4am after realising the home had been robbed.
Ms Williams said Zayden suffered head fractures in the attack and could not be revived by paramedics.
Ms Williams' opening address continues.

A woman who grew bone fragments in her eyelid after undergoing cosmetic surgery using stem cells should serve as a warning to Australians considering unproven stem cell treatments, an expert says.
The United States woman underwent more than six hours of surgery to remove the fragments from her eyelid and around the eye, three months after having the cosmetic surgery at a Beverly Hills clinic.
The first operation, described in the December edition of Scientific American, used stem cells extracted from the woman's abdominal fat through liposuction, which were injected into her face.
The $20,000 facelift also incorporated a dermal filler containing calcium, which surgeons believe reacted with the stem cells and turned them into bone.
Cosmetic and regenerative surgery claiming to use stem cells extracted from liposuction is also available in Australia.
While it is not illegal, the only scientifically proven medical treatment using stem cells is bone marrow transplants for diseases including leukaemia, which have been around for about 40 years.
Associate Professor Megan Munsie, from Stem Cells Australia at the University of Melbourne, said the report showed that a cautious approach was needed to developing stem cell therapies.
''There is no doubt that stem cells have an incredible capacity to act as the body's repair kit,'' Professor Munsie said.
''But they need to be given the right instructions, otherwise, as happened to this woman, they can turn into the wrong type of cells.
''I'm concerned that potential patients might think that because the treatment involves using their own stem cells, there is no risk.
''But, as this case graphically illustrates, this is simply not true,'' she said.
''The unproven stem cell cos- metic procedure caused substantial discomfort to the patient and may have cost her sight in the affected eye.
''This, together with the reputed $US20,000 charge [$A19,000], is too high a price.''
Professor Munsie said the case was another example of why any new stem cell treatment must be based on sound evidence and shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials before being widely adopted and sold to patients.
The same stem cells used in the woman, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are used for osteoarthritis patients in Australia.
The science behind this approach is that MSCs found in fat tissue have immunosuppressive and regenerative properties.
However, there are only three registered clinical trials in Australia testing MSCs and osteoarthritis for safety and efficacy, none of them complete.
The cosmetic surgeon who carried out the corrective operation on the woman, Allan Wu, told Scientific American that although the patient was now doing well some stem cells could linger in her face and again turn into bone or other out-of-place tissues. AAP

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!
Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

Manufacturing Slides For 4th Month
Georgia manufacturing activity slowed for the fourth consecutive month in August. The Kennesaw State University Econometric Center's monthly purchasing manager's index has fallen more than 13 points since April. In August, it was barely above 50 – the line between a growing industry and one that's retracting.

Manufacturing Hits Two-Year Low
Georgia manufacturing activity hit its lowest point in nearly two years in September, the result of a drop in production and new orders. The monthly Purchasing Managers Index from Kennesaw State University's Econometric Center showed a nine-point decrease to 48.7. Any number below 50 means the industry is contracting.
Fri., September 2, 2011 11:18am
Georgia Manufacturing Looking Up
Manufacturing in Georgia is looking up after a four month downward spiral according to Don Sabbarese, Director of the Econometric Center at the Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University. Georgia's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for August has shown a 7.4 index increase from the month of July, bringing in a final index of 58.1.

Bush won't torpedo ads that seek to sink Kerry
Page Tools
President George Bush does not believe Senator John Kerry lied about his war record, but he has declined to condemn the television commercial paid for by a veterans' group alleging Senator Kerry gained his war medals dishonestly.
Mr Bush's comments on Thursday undercut one of the central accusations by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, whose attacks on Senator Kerry have dominated the US political debate for more than two weeks.
In an interview with The New York Times Mr Bush portrayed himself as a victim of the same type of political interest groups, called 527 committees, after the section of the tax law under which they were created.
"I understand how Senator Kerry feels. I've been attacked by 527s too," Mr Bush said. He had spoken to Senator John McCain and had agreed to join him in a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission to bar the groups, he added.
A spokesman for Senator Kerry dismissed the planned lawsuit as inadequate. "This isn't an issue about 527 ads or campaign finance," he said. "It's a question of whether the commander-in-chief will denounce a group whose claims have been discredited by eyewitness accounts, official naval records and, in some cases, their own words."
The White House is trying to deflect charges by Senator Kerry of collusion between the Bush campaign team and the Swift Boat Veterans. But its case was damaged on Wednesday when a lawyer for the Bush campaign team, Benjamin Ginsberg, resigned after disclosing he was advising the group.
An occasional collaborator with Mr Ginsberg, Chris LaCivita, is also working for the group, advising on media strategy. Mr LaCivita was the political director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2002.
Federal election rules bar organisations that take unrestricted donations from co-ordinating their activities with campaigns or political parties.
Mr Bush did not hesitate when asked about the accusations of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. "I think Senator Kerry should be proud of his record. No, I don't think he lied."
But when pressed repeatedly to denounce the advertisements, which Senator Kerry has said were being run with the tacit approval of the Bush campaign team, the President refused. Instead, he said he would talk only of the "broader issue" of the political committees that take to the airwaves with attack ads.
"Five twenty-sevens - I think these ought to be outlawed," he said. "I think they should have been outlawed a year ago. We have billionaires writing cheques, large cheques, to influence the outcome of the election."
The debate over war records is a reminder of the Vietnam War's enduring ability to divide the US. Victor Karnow, author of Vietnam: a History, said: "We're still fighting the Civil War."

Dominic: I had been on many dating sites and never really finding that connection, or that feeling of really allowing to be vulnerable and 100% my authentic self. After living in Phoenix for 3 years, and going through a very physically challenging time (with a nerve injury that was incapacitating for 3 years), I performed the life of the Phoenix.
So I moved to San Fran area 2 days later, and once back about a month, I put up an ad and wrote an honest account of my story, what I'd been through, and what type of person and companion I'd like to meet. I connected with about 2 people saying hi before SHE messaged me.
" and as she clicked on the page to see what was out there, she came across my photo and story. Only being able to read a portion of my profile without joining, she signed up for membership to read my profile, and was taken by what was said.
Meredith then sent me an email sharing her story and full vulnerability of what she'd been through. I read it knowing that she and I could understand what strength those struggles had brought out in us, and about a week later, Meredith asked me to coffee because she was visiting a friend "in the area" (which was a little white lie...).
I am such a lucky man and everyday we thank the creator and the Conscious Dating Network for bringing us together.
We are truly blessed and bountiful.
Dominic & MeredithNOTE: There are many sites in the Conscious Dating Network that all share the same large database of members, so you may meet someone from a different site than you joined, however, it's really one big site with different marketing doorways in!

How do I find...
- Historic Interest
As a cultural and historical site, the park features a Veterans Memorial and the U.S. Space Walk of Fame.
In a courtyard encircled by ten granite monuments, the 80-foot Circle of Memories dedicated to All Veterans of All Wars, is the nation's first to honor all American veterans and recognize all commissioned military engagements from the Revolutionary War to the Gulf Conflict. Over 2,550 memorial bricks pave the circle of memories. In the adjacent walk are bricks identifying each student who received the Veterans Memorial Scholarship.
On the waterfront with Old Glory in the center, is a circle of service flags of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. The Veterans Memorial Foundation, a volunteer non-profit organization, created and sponsors the memorial.
Near the attractive restroom facility, the Mercury Monument profiles the first seven astronauts and inspires reflection and strolls along the U.S. Space Walk of Fame. At the Gemini Monument, plaques set in the ground commemorate each mission, with Astronaut handprints mounted alongside. Following the shoreline northward and eventually connecting more waterfront parks, additional U.S. Space Walk of Fame exhibits will include the Apollo program.
Conceived by the Space Walk of Fame Foundation and now a part of Titusville's redevelopment plan, the riverfront promenade with a space vehicle launch view will feature educational stations highlighting achievements of individuals and events. During launches, the Foundation broadcasts live audio feeds from NASA Direct into the park. Completion of the Parks Referendum Project portion of the U.S. Spacewalk of Fame is pending due to the City of Titusville's completion of hurricane damage & seawall.

Patents impeding biomedical research?At an international science gathering next week, a symposium of experts will examine the debate over whether excessively broad patent rights are impeding biomedical research.
The symposium will be led by University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor Christopher Holman, Ph.D., J.D., an authority on biotechnology patent law. He said the extent to which fundamental biological information is regulated is a hot issue, expected to be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court soon.
Holman's discussion will touch on science policy topics such as the patenting of human genes, a phenomenon that has been going on for years.
"Some say the practice impedes biomedical research, such as that involving embryonic stem cells and the human genome, which could lead to lifesaving cures for diseases such as cancer," said Holman.
Engaging in the debate will be F. Scott Kieff from Washington University School of Law; John Walsh from University of Illinois; and Barbara Caufield of Affymetrix Inc., a company that creates breakthrough tools to drive the genomic revolution.
Other topics for discussion: current science policy rationales and the proposals to revise the system; the patenting of genes, biological information, and living organisms; and the relationship between intellectual property and collaboration.
The symposium will take place from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Feb. 19 as part of a five-day meeting of the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science). It's being held this year in St. Louis from Feb. 16-20. Thousands of top scientists, science policy experts, educators, students, and journalists attend the annual meeting.
The AAAS is a distinguished association that publishes the peer-reviewed general science journal Science. The AAAS serves some 272 affiliated societies and academies of science. It has been in existence for 150 years.
For a localized enterprise story on the issue of how patents may be impeding science and biotechnology innovation, other experts and organizations in Kansas City relevant to the debate include:
• The Center for Practical Bioethics raises and responds to ethical issues in health and healthcare.
• The Stowers Institute for Medical Research conducts basic research aimed at understanding how the genes and proteins of multicellular organisms work.
• Midwest Research Institute is a center for applied research and technology development that pioneers efforts in environmental and cancer research to drug development work and technology.
Holman is a resident of Leawood, Kansas. He attended law school at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall, and his Ph.D. is in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of California at Davis.
UMKC is one of four University of Missouri campuses. It is a public university serving more than 14,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UMKC engages with the community and economy based on a three-part mission: visual and performing arts, health and life sciences and urban affairs.

text: Kendra McCoy read about West Wesley in the Tacoma Weekly a few weeks back. Now her colleagues are shopping for socks. Wesley manages Hospitality Kitchen's clothing bank at Catholic Community Services at 1323 S. Yakima Ave. The hundreds of people who rely on the goods in that small room also rely on extraordinary generosity from people who find joy in giving. These people need good socks, the best socks, socks that will save their feet from the damp and cold. A blend of wool and acrylic that wicks moisture away from feet, these socks, on the best of sales, start at around $2.50 a pair. "I was moved to read about someone who spent so much of his own time and dedication to something that the rest of us take for granted," McCoy said. Her colleagues at the City of Tacoma's Human Resources and Labor Relations office felt the same way, and took the good socks on as a challenge. "Every year our department chooses an organization to support at our staff retreat," McCoy said. They chose Wesley's sock drive.

Record Everything
The Futurist Magazine has published its annual Top 10 Forecasts.
I found the first prediction the most interesting: "Everything you say and do will be recorded by 2030."
I think it would be possible to do this much sooner. Data storage devices are getting smaller (in physical size) and bigger (in storage capacity) all the time. In five years we could see iPod sized devices with the storage capacity to record for days bluetoothed to a tiny camera and mic mounted to eyeglass frames.
Possible, of course, doesn't mean wide adoption. It will only be widely adopted when it becomes an arms race.
Those who record everything - call them, er... "Recorders" - will be in possession of history. If, for example, there were a disagreement a Recorder could edit a version of the events to favor his point of view. Perhaps he could even add or delete data. Unless the other party were also recording, they'd have no defense against historical revisionism. This is becoming a problem already. Glenn Reynolds argued in the New York Post that political candidates should bring their own cameras to interviews.
Obviously there are privacy concerns with ubiquitous recording. New laws will be necessary. We will come to have an expectation of privacy in our own data. We'll insist that warrants for private data be limited in scope - something like "where were you on the night of the 25th between the hours of 10 and 11?" This rather than, "let me see all your data from the last year."
We'll also have some expectation of privacy to other people's data. X-boyfriends who post certain recordings on the Internet should expect to be prosecuted. This kind of involuntary pornography should be seen as a sex offense.
Once these privacy concerns are worked out, ubiquitous recording could be a great force for good. Opportunistic petty crime might still be possible, but a life of serious or violent crime would be next to impossible.
And we'll have search functions to help us remember... everything. You need to hear the teacher's lecture again before the test? Search and replay. You lost your car keys? Search for the most recent image of your keys in your data.
Every test of life will be open book.
Eventually these recordings will help us rebuild moments in our lives to relive virtually. Weddings and birthday parties certainly, but less happy occasions might be even more important. If a person has a problem with anger, they could replay times when they acted inappropriately and learn from it. Those with dependancy problems can learn to avoid triggers.
The immediacy and accuracy of this literal photographic memory is just another way we can make ourselves smarter. Perhaps this is another path to the Singularity.

Supporting: Kyng, Eve To Adam, Nothing More
Date: March 21st, 2014
Location: San Francisco
Venue: Slim's
Tour: Dead And Rising Tour
I've been listening to Lacuna Coil since Comalies and this was the first chance I've been able see them live (and headlining). I must say, they certainly did not disappoint! I arrived a little early so I could buy tickets for another show at Slim's while the box office was still open and uncrowded. While there, there was a guy hanging out, chatting with the few people in line. He seemed kinda familiar, and then it dawned on me. It was Andrea Ferro, the male vocalist for Lacuna Coil! As he started to head into the venue, I gave me a nod of acknowledgement and a "Oh, hey!" so he came over, shook my hand with a big smile, and made a little small talk. Really nice guy! After that, I wandered off to find some grub . Not wanting to give up my precious street parking, I decided to just suck it up and wait in line. …

Huntington Beach, Calif. (June 22, 2010)—Quiksilver crowned Hawaii's Josh Moniz 2010 'King of the Groms' regional west coast winner in Huntington Beach yesterday in a competition that saw some massive wave destruction by forty-eight of the top groms in the west. In addition to winning the title and a $400 cash prize, Josh will also be going on an all-expense paid trip to the Quiksilver Pro France to compete in the Global King of the Groms Championships this September.
"Winning the King of the Groms feels super good," says Josh. "I didn't think I was going to able to win it, so I'm super stoked! I'm really excited to be going to France and I'll be bringing my dad."
Josh carries an assortment of man-sized maneuvers, no doubt inherited from his father, former professional surfer Tony Moniz. He made his presence felt with a recipe of solid surfing, which started with pulling down two back-to-back skins. Going after his third skin, Josh unleashed a combination of carves and crushing top turns, netting a 7.83 which he followed up with a straight seven to secure his fourth skin.
The competition was held during a long period south swell and short interval west wind swell, and saw some great surfing all day. Andrew Jacobson, the 2009 defending King of the Groms champion took home one skin in round one, but failed to advance in his next heat. Oahu's Seth Moniz (Josh's brother) and Huntington Beach local and Quiksilver rider Kanoa Igarashi looked like frontrunners, both nailing two skins each. Another Huntington Beach local boy, Jack Boyes, pulled down one skin before the round was reversed, and he matched the two-skin total of Moniz and Igarashi, but could not win another.
Other notable standouts included three Kauai'ian surfers. Jesse Guglielmana lofted a solid frontside air reverse on the outside for a perfect 10 point ride, pulling down a new snowboard for winning the "Lib Tech Maneuver' portion of the event in addition to a $250 cash prize for capturing the "DC Shoes Highest Score" award. The next best scores in the event went to Koa Smith, who scored a 7.83 on his forehand for showing speed where there was none – throwing buckets and throwing tail in the shore break – and Kaoli Kahokuloa, who nailed a solid 7.5 for some big forehand turns on the outside and a nice air revo in the shore break.

ACE replacement. Plz help.
Hi Experts,
Please help me with the following information as I have to perform this tommorow:
a) I was looking for a detailed procedure to replace the ACE, in an active-active environment/Cluster Configuration ?
b) What parameters do I need to take from the ACE module before replace it with the new one?
c) I have the config backup can I load the same on the new module?
Any suggestion would be appriciated.
You just have to issue
"ft switchover all" on the standby ACE before making the replacement.
This will ensure that all the context are active on single ACE. Then you can start the procedure as stated above.
Hope that helps.
Ajay Kumar
(1) Issue "wr mem" on "currently ACTIVE ACE" and backup the configuration.
Create a configuration "checkpoint" on "currently ACTIVE ACE" for EACH context.
(2) Backup (copy) config from each user context, including Admin context, from your currently in production ACE to a FTP server.
(3) Export your current "certs & keys" to a tftp/ ftp/ sftp server from the ACTIVE ACE & then import them on "the new ACE" later.
(4) Power down the ACE module, to be replaced, from the switch CLI in config mode (no power enable module ) and replace it with the replacement module.
(5) Power up the new replacement module from switch CLI (power enable module ).
(6) Once the new module is on line, session into it from the switch.
(7) Configure Admin context with an IP interface VLAN configuration so that you have IP connectivity to the module.
(8) Make sure you upgrade the newly received replacement ACE to exactly the same release of code as that of "currently ACTIVE ACE" .
(9) Configure Admin context with rest of the configuration as per backed up config ( for this ACE) EXCEPT FT configuration.
Note: If you don't have a config for this module "backed" up. You would need to review Admin context configuration from "ACTIVE ACE" and configure it accordingly. Please make sure you use "peer IP address" information from currently ACTIVE ACE to configure this ACE module.
(10)If you have "ssl-proxy" service configured in any user context, please make sure you IMPORT all your "Certs & Keys" to this new ACE module before configuring your FT configuration. You can import them with option terminal (e.g. crypto import terminal) otherwise you would have to configure each context with an IP interface to be able to import certs/keys via tftp or ftp or sftp.
The ACE does not synchronize the SSL certificates and key pairs that are present in the active context with the standby context of an FT group. If the ACE performs configuration synchronization and does not find the necessary certificates and keys in the standby context, config sync fails and the standby context enters the STANDBY_COLD state. In order to correct this problem, verify if all certs and keys are installed on both ACE modules.
(11) Configure a FT VLAN interface & FT PEER on "new replacement ACE".
Configure all FT groups BUT DO NOT "configure them "inservice".
Make sure you have IP connectivity OVER FT VLAN to "currently ACTIVE ACE".
Make sure there is a TCP connection setup OVER FT VLAN (show conn should provide you that information).
(12) Please make sure "preemption" is NOT enabled for the FT group. If enabled please do remove it and re-add after the module is successfully replaced.
ft group 1
peer 1
no preempt <=====================
peer priority 150
associate-context test
(13) Once you have IP connectivity over FT VLAN to "primary ACE", now mark the FT GROUP "inservice".
ft group 1
peer 1
no preempt
peer priority 150
associate-context test
inservice <===============================
(14) At this time I expect the "auto-sync" to "sync" configs between "currently ACTIVE ACE" & "new standby ACE".
show ft group detail
show ft peer detail
These "show commands" should help you with verifying the state of FT configuration.

EXCLUSIVE: Dazed In The Life – Tilda Lindstam
We shadowed the Swedish model during a day of Paris fashion week
- TextDazed Digital
Having spent the day with Lara Mullen previously, Dazed Digital tagged along the Friday of Paris fashion week with Tilda Lindstam, who walked SS13 for designers including Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham and Calvin Klein in New York; Burberry Prorsum, Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders in London and Jil Sander, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace in Milan.
Tilda began being photographed for the board at Loewe, and afterwards we hitched a ride with her to Place Vendôme for the Valentino casting. At the Grand Palais we watched the Vanessa Bruno rehearsal, make-up and show before heading to John Galliano and ending at Alexander McQueen, where Lindstam got her board picture taken for the last time that day.

Please help!Can anyone tell me how to get a number to update realtime on a site?What I'm looking for is used on the following website:
New & Used Cars For Sale - Arnold Clark
The number with the top vehicle search update when a user makes any of the selections in the form.
I think I know how to get the number to update via php and mysql queries on the db but how can I get the effect where the number rolls to the newly updated total?
Any help very much appreciated, I'm in a bit of a fix with this one!!
You would use setInterval to occasionally run an ajax to request of a php page that provides the number, and on successful completion of the request you would then update that part of the page.
The Bulletproof Ajax book is the best resource I've found for learning how to do that.

I get that nobody wants to pay taxes but enough with the "word I dare not say" talk already. You know the one. I've made a solemn vow not to use it on my site but here's a hint: it starts with a "T", ends with an "N" and rhymes with "Saxmageddon."
Over the last few days, all I've heard in the media is how our taxes are huge and increasing every day. And I have news for you… lean in a little towards your computer. Now, a little more. Really close because I'm going to blow your mind:
Whew. I know I feel better.
The top marginal federal income tax rate in 2012 was 35% – the same rate since 2003. That's practically the lowest rate since 1916 (the exceptions being two 3 year stretches in the 1920s and the 1990s).
State income tax rates in 2012 climbed a bit across the country but none were higher than 11% (thanks to that millionaire's tax in Hawaii); most settled between 3-5%. And before it even comes out of your mouth: no, practically no one is paying the combined tax rate, really, since most taxpayers at the top rates would be deducting state income taxes paid on their federal income tax returns.
Our top sales tax rates – including average local sales taxes – topped out at just under 9.5%.
And yes, maybe those do feel high. But despite all of the news about individuals fleeing the country to avoid paying tax in the U.S., we still have it pretty good compared to other developed countries. Don't believe me? Today, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced a 3% hike in the value-added tax (VAT, kind of like our sales tax) to a whopping 21%. Top marginal income tax rates in the country increased to 52%. That is a high tax rate.
In fact, you know who pays more than we do in federal income taxes?
The UK.
South Africa.
What about sales taxes?
Shall I go on?
I'm not saying that our tax system is perfect. Goodness knows it's not. And I'm not saying that our government is making the best use of our tax dollars – you know I don't think that's true.
But put away the bomb shelter plans and Aerosmith tunes: the world is not ending in 2013, no matter who lands in office or whether the so-called Bush tax cuts are extended. I can't take the belly aching anymore.
Our tax system is broken. But it's not because of tax rates. And a few percentage points here and there won't destroy our economy any more than it will fix it. Rates are tangible, though, so it's sexy to talk about "cutting taxes" and using ridiculous – and I mean ridiculous – terms to describe the state of the economy. But what's more pathetic than the rhetoric is how we, as taxpayers, eat it up.
So today, while Congress is busy planning to vote down President's Obama's incomplete, "half a loaf" tax plan – on the same day that Spain is raising its rates to unheard of highs – can we promise each other to talk about our tax system using real rates in real contexts? Can we talk about our tax system like grown-ups? Can we use real words like "simplification" and "consistent" instead of goofy made-up words (fun on Twitter, sure, but not on the Hill)? And maybe, just maybe, our politicians will do the same.

HydroClim Minnesota - May 2008
A monthly electronic newsletter summarizing Minnesota's climate conditions and the resulting impact on water resources. Distributed on the Wednesday following the first Monday of each month.
State Climatology Office - DNR Waters
compiled 5/7/2008
What happened in April:
- April 2008 precipitation totals were above historical averages across nearly all of Minnesota. With the exception of far northwestern Minnesota, most communities reported significant rain or snowfall totals in April. Precipitation totals in most northeast, east central, and southeastern Minnesota counties topped five inches for the month. Total April precipitation in some southeastern Minnesota locales exceeded seven inches. In a few cases, the monthly precipitation totals were record setting. In west central, north central, and northeastern Minnesota counties, much of the precipitation came as snow. Numerous communities in these areas received over 30 inches of snow for the month, shattering April monthly total snowfall records in many places.
[see: Seasonal Precipitation Maps | April 2008 Climate Summary Table | National Weather Service April Snowfall Summary]
April 2008 produced four major snow events, prolonging a long winter season. Heavy snow, and in some cases blizzard conditions, created treacherous travel and delayed the onset of spring.
[see: April 25-26 Snowstorm and Blizzard | Blizzard of April 10-11 | April 5-7 Heavy Snow | March 31 - April 1 Snow and Rain]
Maintaining a multi-month trend, monthly mean temperatures for April 2008 were below historical averages. April temperatures ranged from two to four degrees below normal across Minnesota. Extreme values for April ranged from a high of 79 degrees on the 23rd at a handful of locations across Minnesota, to a low of 4 degrees at Embarrass (St. Louis County) on the 15th.
[see: April 2008 Climate Summary Table]
Where we stand now:
- The U. S. Drought Monitor, released on May 1, places a small area of west central Minnesota, along with portions of northwestern Minnesota, in the "Abnormally Dry" category. This is an acknowledgement of lingering precipitation deficits from the 2007 growing season. All other Minnesota locales are deemed to be free of drought conditions. The U. S. Drought Monitor index is a blend of science and subjectivity where intensity categories are based on several indicators.
[see: U.S. Drought Monitor]
- The U.S. Geological Survey reports that stream discharge values are above the 75th percentile for the date across most of Minnesota. Along some river stretches, stream flow exceeds the 90th percentile for this time of the year. In spite of the high flows, flooding has not been a major concern thus far this spring.
[see: USGS Streamflow | DNR Streamflow]
- The Lake Superior water level is up 10 inches from last year at this time. Although the Lake Superior water level is now well above the all-time seasonal low, it remains below the long-term average.
[see: Corps of Engineers Great Lakes Water Levels]
- The Minnesota Agricultural Statistics Service reports that as of May 2, topsoil moisture was 1% "Short", 67% "Adequate", and 32% "Surplus". Wet soils and cool temperatures have significantly delayed land preparation and the planting of crops. Field working progress is the slowest since the spring of 1996.
[see: Ag. Statistics Service Crop Progress and Condition]
- Frost has left the soil in most Minnesota locations. However, in a few northwestern Minnesota locations, a lens of frozen soil remains approximate two feel beneath the surface. On average, the soil profile thaws by late March to early April in the south, early April to mid-April in the north. The soil thaws from both the top and the bottom, leaving a layer of frozen soil to be the last to climb above freezing.
[see: National Weather Service River Forecast Center | U of M Climate Observatory | MnDOT Road Frost Depths]
Larger, deeper lakes in the northern one-third of Minnesota remain partially or completely ice covered. Throughout the spring, lake ice-out has lagged behind historical averages by one to two weeks. In most locales, it has been the latest lake ice-out since 1996.
[see: Lake Ice-out Status]
The potential for wildfires is rated by DNR Forestry as "high" in northwestern Minnesota. Fire danger is considered "moderate" throughout most of the northern half of Minnesota. Elsewhere, fire danger is rated as "low". Fire danger conditions can change rapidly in response to warm, sunny, and windy weather. Historically, 80 percent of all wildfires in Minnesota occur during April and May.
[see: Fire Danger Rating Map]
Future prospects:
- The May precipitation outlook tilts significantly towards above-normal conditions across the state. May precipitation normals range from just over two inches in northwestern Minnesota to just less than four inches in southeastern counties. The historical probability of measurable precipitation for any given day in May ranges from 25 percent in the northwest to near 40 percent in the southeast.
[see: Climate Prediction Center 30-day Outlook | May Precipitation Normal Map]
- The May temperature outlook offers a strong tendency towards below-normal conditions across Minnesota. Normal May high temperatures are in the low to mid-60's early in the month, rising to the low to mid-70's at month's end. Normal May low temperatures are in the mid-30's to near 40 to start the month and climb to the mid-40's to low 50's as the month ends.
[see: Climate Prediction Center 30-day Outlook | May Temperature Normal Map]
- The 90-day precipitation outlook for May through July indicates no significant tendencies away from climatological probabilities across Minnesota. The May through July temperature projection offers equal chances of above, near, or below average conditions.
[see: Climate Prediction Center 90-day Outlook]
- The National Weather Service produces long-range probabilistic river stage and discharge outlooks for the Red River, Minnesota River, and Mississippi River basins. These products are part of the National Weather Service's Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS).

The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Organize Or Clip Your Magazines
I'm a collector of many things, like shoes, Barbie dolls and magazines (I still have the first issue of Lucky). I never really notice my magazine stacks until I'm trying to find space on my bedroom floor for a new shoe box. Obviously, my boudoir is cluttered, so this month I'm going to go through all my mags and only keep the really important ones. I'll also clip out any stories, photos or covers I like. And while I'm at it, I'll create an inspiration board of my clippings, lifting the clutter off the floor and onto an organized bulletin board. I think this is the perfect step for you to also get a jump on your New Year's de-clutter resolution.
See all the ways to make the most of the last 31 days of 2008 here.

Kellers Trading has been in business selling Alaskan gifts and arts since the Alaskan Gold Rush Days. It was established in 1906 as a pharmacy and gift shop. Kellers has made many changes since then. Although Kellers has been sold several times, it has been in the same family for nearly 20 years now, and is one of the largest gift shops in Alaska today.
Kellers Trading offers a wide variety of Alaskan art. We have a large selection of Native Alaskan Artisans that carve incredible sculptures from materials such as walrus jawbone, whalebone, soapstone, ivory and baleen. We also keep available a choice selection of rare Alaska Native art.We also carry some renowned artists such as C. Alan Johnson and Linda Petree. C. Alan Johnson's Eskimo art collection includes gorgeous Eskimo figurines and prints. Linda Petree is a legendary Scrimshaw carving artist who focuses her miraculous skills on collectable custom knives of every size.
Kellers Trading loves the land of Alaska and its rich history. Alaska was once owned by Russia and there is still a large amount of Russian influence around every corner. One of the oldest Russian art forms is the Matryoshka doll, of which we carry a large selection. Totemic art has always been a large part of many native cultures. Tribes use totemic figures to tell stories of their past. We carry animal totems from cultures throughout the Northwest Coast.
From the smallest salmon to the Majestic Bald Eagle, we have a wide variety of totemic figures. For nearly a century, Kellers Trading has been a wonderful destination for Alaskan Gifts. Please come in and explore our breathtaking collection of Alaskan treasures, which is as vast as Alaska itself.

A look at the Northwest Division teams as they head into the 2013-14 season, in predicted order of finish:
LAST SEASON: 60-22, lost to Memphis 4-1 in the second round.
STARTING FIVE: G Russell Westbrook (23.2 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 7.4 apg), G Thabo Sefolosha (7.6 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 1.3 spg), F Kevin Durant (28.1 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 4.6 apg), F Serge Ibaka (13.2 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 3.0 bpg), C Kendrick Perkins (4.2 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 bpg).
KEY ADDITIONS: C Steven Adams (draft, Pittsburgh), F Andre Roberson (draft, Colorado), F Ryan Gomes (free agent, Artland Dragons, Germany).
KEY LOSSES: G Kevin Martin (free agent, Timberwolves).
COACH: Scott Brooks, sixth season with Thunder; 234-147.
EYES ON: Westbrook. The talented point guard is expected to miss the first few weeks of the season while recovering from his second surgery on his right knee since originally suffering the injury in a first-round playoff win over Houston. When healthy, the dynamic Westbrook is among the elite point guards in the NBA. His health and progress of backup Reggie Jackson are likely the best signs of whether the Thunder will return to championship contender.
OUTLOOK: Oklahoma City believes last season's early playoff exit was an aberration because of its inability to adjust without Westbrook on the court. The Thunder have had plenty of time to practice without the point guard since, and -- with Durant once again leading the way -- Oklahoma City expects nothing short of a return to the NBA Finals this season.
LAST SEASON: 57-25, lost to Golden State Warriors 4-2 in first round.
STARTING FIVE: G Ty Lawson (16.7 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 6.9 apg), G Randy Foye (10.8 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 2.0 apg), F Wilson Chandler (13.0 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 1.3 apg), F Kenneth Faried (11.5 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 1.0 bpg), C JaVale McGee (9.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.0 bpg).
KEY ADDITIONS: G Foye (sign-and-trade, Jazz). F Darrell Arthur (trade, Grizzlies), F J.J. Hickson (free agent, Trail Blazers), G Nate Robinson (free agent, Bulls).
KEY LOSSES: G/F Andre Iguodala (sign and trade, Warriors), F Corey Brewer (free agent, Timberwolves), C Kosta Koufos (trade, Grizzlies).
COACH: Brian Shaw, first season with Nuggets, first season overall.
EYES ON: Lawson. Shaw is counting on Lawson to make a big leap this season in leadership. He's also hoping his speedy point guard gets off to a fast start. Usually, Lawson begins a season solidly enough, only to find an extra gear later in the year. "We're trying to figure out how to jump-start that and get him to take off where he ended up at the end of last season," Shaw explained.
OUTLOOK: Shaw is stepping in for George Karl, who led the Nuggets to a franchise-record 57 wins last season and was named the NBA Coach of the Year, only to be fired. Karl's squad was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for a fourth straight season. It might take some time for the team to transition from Karl's fast-paced approach to Shaw's more traditional half-court style. The Nuggets may also get a boost sometime in December when Danilo Gallinari returns from a knee injury.
LAST SEASON: 33-49, missed playoffs.
STARTING FIVE: G Damian Lillard (19 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 6.5 apg) G Wesley Matthews (14.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 2.5 apg), F Nicolas Batum (14.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 4.9 apg), F LaMarcus Aldridge (21.1 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 2.6 apg), C Robin Lopez (11.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 0.8 apg).
KEY ADDITIONS: C Robin Lopez (trade, Pelicans), G C.J. McCollum (draft, No. 10), F Thomas Robinson (trade, Rockets), G Earl Watson (free agent, Jazz), G Mo Williams (free agent, Jazz), F Dorell Wright (free agent, 76ers).
KEY LOSSES: F J.J. Hickson (free agent, Nuggets).
COACH: Terry Stotts second season with Blazers, fifth as a head coach; 148-217.
EYES ON: Lopez. The Blazers have been searching for that elusive big man ever since former top draft pick Greg Oden was hit with injuries that defined his career in Portland. Last season the Blazers had forward J.J. Hickson playing often at center. But the addition of the 7-foot Lopez, coming off the best season of his career, give the Blazers a legitimate center while the team also continues to develop second-year center Meyers Leonard.
OUTLOOK: With the addition on Lopez at center, Robinson, Watson, Williams and Wright to boost the bench, and McCollum to back up Lillard, the Blazers believe they have built a solid team around two-time All-Star Aldridge that can contend in the talent-loaded West.
LAST SEASON: 31-51, missed playoffs.
STARTING FIVE: G Ricky Rubio (10.3 ppg, 7.3 apg, 2.4 spg), G Kevin Martin (14.0 ppg, 42.6 percent 3s, 27.7 mpg for Oklahoma City), F Corey Brewer (12.1 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.4 spg for Denver), F Kevin Love (18.3 ppg, 14.0 rpg, 35.2 percent FG in 18 games), C Nikola Pekovic (16.3 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 52 percent FG).
KEY ADDITIONS: G/F Brewer (free agent, Nuggets), G Martin (trade, Thunder), G/F Shabazz Muhammad (draft, No. 14), C Gorgui Dieng (draft, No. 21), C Ronny Turiaf (free agent, Clippers).
KEY LOSSES: G Luke Ridnour (trade, Bucks), C Greg Stiemsma (free agent, Pelicans).
COACH: Rick Adelman, third season with Timberwolves, 23rd season overall; 1,002-707.
EYES ON: Love. Entered last season largely viewed as the best power forward in the game after playing a pivotal role with the U.S. Olympic team in London. But he broke his hand in the preseason, then broke it again in January and was limited to 18 games in the first year of his four-year, max contract. His field goal percentage was a career low and he shot just 21.7 percent from 3-point range. Love also tangled with former boss David Kahn and drew the ire of some fans with his criticism of the organization. He comes into this season healthy, ornery and looking to redeem himself.
OUTLOOK: With a promising young core of Love, Rubio and Pekovic, and improved 3-point shooting with the addition of Martin, hopes are high for a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since 2004, the longest active drought in the league. If the Wolves can somehow avoid the bad luck with injuries that always seems to find them, they have the talent, the energy and, maybe most importantly, the coaching to end that dubious streak.
LAST SEASON: 43-39, missed playoffs.
STARTING FIVE: G Trey Burke (rookie), G Alec Burks (7.0 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 1.4 apg), F Gordon Hayward (14.1 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 3.0 apg), F Derrick Favors (9.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 1.0 apg), C Enes Kanter (7.2 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.5 bpg).
KEY ADDITIONS: G Burke (draft, No. 9), F Richard Jefferson (trade, Warriors), C Andris Biedrins (trade, Warriors), G Brandon Rush (trade, Warriors).
KEY LOSSES: C Al Jefferson (free agent, Bobcats), F Paul Millsap (free agent, Hawks), G Randy Foye (trade, Nuggets), G Mo Williams (free agent, Trail Blazers), F DeMarre Carroll (free agent, Hawks).
COACH: Tyrone Corbin, fourth season, 87-89.
EYES ON: Favors and Kanter. Jefferson and Millsap are two solid frontcourt players, but the Jazz let both leave so they could give more playing time to their two youngsters at their positions. Now Favors and Kanter have to show they deserve it.
OUTLOOK: Usually a playoff contender, that's no longer the case this season for the Jazz. They are young and already dealing with Burke's finger injury that will sideline college basketball's player of the year, making what's expected to be a tough season already tougher.

For such a large alteration job, my tailors had me do a second fitting before "finishing" (ie. sew up hems) the suit. The skirt and sleeves were not slim enough, so they fixed that before we had one final fitting. I was thankful they left the hems unfinished when I arrived, to spare me the stress of having to ask for re-alterations.
I just want to clarify - I'm not recommending that anyone go out and buy a suit that is several sizes too big and spending double the amount on alterations. I fell in love with this texture, took a risk, and it (thankfully) paid off, but I've had my fair share of failed & costly alterations. In general, it's very risky to get structured pieces (jacket, suit) altered anything more than 1-2 sizes.
Linen Tweed Pencil Skirt in petites that looks like a gorgeous warm-weather material. I'm keeping that on my watchlist for the next big sale. Wonder if the tweed blend will counteract crinkly issues that plagues most linen garments?

AN APPEAL has gone out for a volunteer cook and kitchen assistant to help with meals at Hawick Senior Citizens' Association.
The work is based at the Evergreen Hall and involves the cooking, organising and serving of a basic two-course meal every Thursday for 30 seniors.
The posts have arisen due to the retirement of cook Nancy Dunne and kitchen assistant Ann Miles, both of whom have given over 12 years' service. "They will be greatly missed," said an association spokesperson.
Anyone interested should contact association secretary Mary Beck on 07879 870952 or president Zandra Elliot on 377493.


text: Hi, Is anyone interested in meeting today? I got a different metal box, for 2 dollars! I think this one will work with less alteration than the first one I got . I think I can get some holes in it for the plugs, and I can bring shielded cable, if you all are up for meeting later this afternoon at like maybe 4:00.... Let me know, I have to come from Oakland.
