Notes from the Nurse:
New Exclusion date for students who do not have physicals or vaccinations as required by the State of Illinois.
As written in the school code, schools are to exclude students who do not have either the health exam or vaccines by Oct. 15 or an earlier date, if established by the local school board.
St. Francis High School will be changing the exclusion date beginning with the new school year, 2016-2017 from October 15 to September 15.
School Immunizations-New Certificate of Religious Exception Requirement mandate.
Parents or legal guardians who object, for religious reasons, to their child being immunized for school entrance must submit a Certificate of Religious Exemption form, which must be signed by a health care provider. Signed into law in August 2015, this new legislation requires a health care provider to sign the certificate confirming they have provided education to the parents/guardians about the benefits of immunizations and the health risks of not vaccinating students.

Our South India Small Group Trip delves into the full range of sights and experiences unique to South India, using beautiful homestay, small guest house and heritage accommodation, with lots of easy walks, activities and interaction providing an engaging and fulfilling overall experience.
The diversity of South India is staggering: every state speaks a distinct language; everywhere Hinduism manifests differently, in addition to vibrant Muslim and Christian communities. Physically there are the extremes of the hot, dry Deccan Plateau, and the lush, tropical backwaters of Kerala. Agriculture is the predominant industry, though increasingly knowledge and service industries, such as IT, are playing a role in the economies of the southern states.
Code: SGTSI
Group size: max 10.
Tempo: easy does it/on the go.
Included: accommodation, transport, western leader and local guides, all meals, entrance fees.
Accommodation: small guest houses, homestays and heritage hotels.
Transport: 11 seater air-conditioned van
Combines with: ends in time for start of Central North Small Group Trip
Notes: itineraries presented here are based on past trips; forthcoming trips may vary slightly
Day 1: Arrive Goa Goa eases us into India: a laid-back atmosphere, quiet beaches, and delicious Portuguese-influenced cuisine. Some low-key local activities and acclimatising is the order of the day. (As with all Group Trips, travellers are encouraged to arrive one or two days early in order to acclimatise prior to the start of the trip proper - we can make all the necessary arrangements to accommodate your early arrival.)
Day 2: Goa – Hampi This morning we board an air-conditioned train bound for Hampi. Sit back and enjoy a cup of chai as the countryside rolls by. On arrival we will be met by friends and transferred to their simple guest house, where we are welcomed with genuine hospitality by the family.
Day 3: Hampi We walk, ride, and motor around the remarkable ruins of the ancient city of Vijayanagar – some claim the world's largest archaeological site. On its way to increased visitor numbers but still relatively unknown, this is one of the great ancient marvels of the world, in pristine condition, populated by no more than a few backpackers and banana farmers.
Day 4: Hampi – Bangalore Only on your second day in Hampi will you start to appreciate the magnitude of this once thriving city. Today we visit the most well preserved and impressive remains. In the evening we board a train for Bangalore; overnight on board the train.
Day 5: Bangalore to Mysore After arrival and breakfast in Bangalore we drive 3 hours to Mysore. With a Sunday arrival we get to see the 97 000 light bulbs on the palace are switched on - along with the carnival atmosphere - to make an awesomely illuminated scene.
Day 6: Mysore Today we have all day to discover the pleasures of Mysore, with its famously elaborate princely palace, lively market and otherwise laid back atmosphere. We can also visit Chamundi Hill, though climbing the 1000 steps to the temple at the top is optional.
Day 7: Wayanad After breakfast drive 3 hours to Wayanad and check into hotel. In the afternoon visit Edakkal cave, where 5000 year old pre-historic rock carvings are found. Dinner in a large cave by candle light (conditions permitting) and the local Keralan style cuisine is a highlight.
Day 8: Wayanad – Kannur Before breakfast, take a jeep to Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, where there is a good – but not guaranteed – chance to elephants, deer and bison. Later in the morning drive 5 hours down the steep ghat road to the Arabian Sea. Our home for the next two nights is a small guest house by the beach, where the food is again a standout.
Day 9: Kannur Today we will dedicate some serious time to relaxing and enjoying the location and the semi-private beach on offer. In the afternoon we can hopefully see a performance of the religious dance form 'Thayyam', which is a blend of ancient local tribal beliefs and the 'newer' – though more than 1500 year old – influence of Hinduism.
Day 10: Kannur – Cochin In the early afternoon board a train bound for Cochin, where we will arrive in the evening. It's been in the hands of the Dutch, British, Portuguese, and Chinese, but now it's in ours. With virtually no traffic, it's the perfect place to explore on a bike, or do nothing but enjoy the character of our heritage hotel. Includes India's oldest church, a Jewish quarter called – you guessed it – Jewtown, and the photo-esque Chinese fishing nets.
Day 11: Cochin Full day to discover Cochin with a local guide, including a private harbour cruise, a walk through historic Fort Cochin, and a performance of Kathikali, a traditional Keralan dance.
Day 12: Houseboat on the backwater In the morning drive to Alleppey and board a houseboat, then relax as the three staff pamper you all the way through the backwaters. This is a highlight of the South for many people. In the afternoon we disembark and drive 2 hours to Palai.
Day 13: Palai A sprawling rubber plantation with a palatial family home, this property is set deep in the coffee, tea, and spice plantations of the Keralan midlands, and is memorable for many reasons – not least the unique home-style Syrian Catholic food on offer. Cooking demonstrations, Ayurvedic massage, a visit to see elephants at work are the activities on offer during our stay.
Day 14: Palai – Madurai Today involves a 6 hour drive up and over the Western Ghat mountain range, with beautiful views as we go. We can break the drive in Periyar with lunch. An afternoon arrival leaves us just enough time for a cursory foray into the busy central streets of this temple town.
Day 15: Madurai Madurai is famous for its Sri Meenakshi temple. Covering six hectares, with 50 meter high towers, and a thousand pillared hall, this is one of the most awe-inspiring temples to visit in the whole of India. We also have the option to visit the insightful Gandhi museum and bustling tailors market, great for sharpening your bargaining skills.
Day 16: Madurai – Tanjore In the morning drive 5 hours to Tanjore; our resort style hotel here has a palm-fringed swimming pool. Afternoon free to relax with a swim or Ayurvedic massage.
Day 17: Tanjore – Pondicherry Tanjore is dominated by the World Heritage listed Brihadeeswara temple, where an 80 ton piece of granite crowns the 60 meter high central vimana or tower. A local guide will explain the complex system of ramps and wheels used to construct the temple complex more than 1000 years ago. After a morning visit to the temple drive 5 hours to Pondicherry. We stay in a heritage property run by a French-Indian family, where the coffee and croissant breakfasts are not unwelcome.
Day 18: Pondicherry This former French colony has passed its French heritage down in a unique way – through the proliferation of retail outlets selling high quality Indian-inspired clothes, handicrafts, and designer homewares. Pondicherry is also famous for its beautiful heritage buildings – some of them now boutique hotels – and fabulous restaurants.
Day 19: Pondicherry – Chennai After breakfast we have a short drive up the coast to Chennai airport, with a stop en route to visit the 7th century World Heritage listed monuments at Mahabalipuram. Transfer to airport for flights home or to onward Indian destination for more travelling.

Get a Dosa Indian Flavors with Linger's Masala
A masala so good you just might want a second dosa.
Chelsea Keeney
Linger is known for an eclectic mix of dishes from all over the world. You can, for example, load up on falafel while your dining partner picks at a bento box. It's a place for just about any taste preference and the staff is incredibly accommodating to allergies and diet restrictions like gluten and dairy. While almost every item on the unique menu is worth exploring, some dishes, of course, stand out more than others — the masala Dosa is one of those dishes.
If you're searching for a dish that leaves you full — and audibly sighing with satisfaction — the masala dosa is a must. Described by one server as a dish that really gives you the unique Linger experience, it goes above and beyond ordinary vegetarian options. It's a marvel of texture and flavors that leave a lasting impression on your taste buds but will not leave you hungry. If you swoon over the aromas of coriander and saffron, read on.
The dosa, a crispy rice and lentil crepe, is delicately cooked on a hot griddle and stuffed with potatoes, peas and spices. Tamarind date sauce and coconut mint chutney are served on the side to complement the traditional Indian flavors. First bites into the burrito-like crepe are warm and reminiscent of familiar flavors you might find in other masala dishes at your favorite Indian restaurant. The filling is soft and a perfect counter to the crispy crepe blanket. Alternating between the tamarind date and coconut mint chutney gives the meal punches of sweet and refreshing notes, respectively. Miraculously, the dosa remains soft and crispy all the way through to the last bite. It does not become lifeless once cool, maintaining its structure as vehicle for the potatoes and peas.
If you've seen the Lunchbox, an Indian film where food and love are equated, and the thought of home-cooked Indian food makes you salivate, Linger's take on Indian cuisine will bring back the movie's celebration of that country's food. If you haven't seen the film, give it a go, followed by a dinner reservation at Linger. Granted, Linger isn't a typical mom-and-pop Indian restaurant, and with such variety in the menu, some might be skeptical at just how dialed in each cuisine can be. But rest assured, the dosa is up to par — and it's offered on both the lunch and dinner menu, so for $13 you can indulge at any time of day — hopefully on Linger's rooftop patio, winner of this year's People's Choice award for Best Patio.

Download the Game Design and Indie Game Marketing Freebook 07/19/17GameDev.net and CRC Press have teamed up to bring a free ebook of content curated from top titles published by CRC Press. The freebook, Practices of Game Design & Indie Game Marketing, includes chapters from The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing, and An Architectural Approach to Level Design. The GameDev.net FreeBook is relevant to game designers, developers, and those interested in learning more about the challenges in game development. We know game development can be a tough discipline and business, so we picked several chapters from CRC Press titles that we thought would be of interest to you, the GameDev.net audience, in your journey to design, develop, and market your next game. The free ebook is available through CRC Press by clicking here. The Curated Books The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, Second Edition, by Jesse Schell Presents 100+ sets of questions, or different lenses, for viewing a game's design, encompassing diverse fields such as psychology, architecture, music, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, anthropology, and more. Written by one of the world's top game designers, this book describes the deepest and most fundamental principles of game design, demonstrating how tactics used in board, card, and athletic games also work in video games. It provides practical instruction on creating world-class games that will be played again and again. View it here. A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing, by Joel Dreskin Marketing is an essential but too frequently overlooked or minimized component of the release plan for indie games. A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing provides you with the tools needed to build visibility and sell your indie games. With special focus on those developers with small budgets and limited staff and resources, this book is packed with tangible recommendations and techniques that you can put to use immediately. As a seasoned professional of the indie game arena, author Joel Dreskin gives you insight into practical, real-world experiences of marketing numerous successful games and also provides stories of the failures. View it here. An Architectural Approach to Level Design This is one of the first books to integrate architectural and spatial design theory with the field of level design. The book presents architectural techniques and theories for level designers to use in their own work. It connects architecture and level design in different ways that address the practical elements of how designers construct space and the experiential elements of how and why humans interact with this space. Throughout the text, readers learn skills for spatial layout, evoking emotion through gamespaces, and creating better levels through architectural theory. View it here.

neogeocg replied to neogeocg's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThank you speedRun I will check it
neogeocg replied to neogeocg's topic in Graphics and GPU Programmingfirst of all thanks for your reply GeniusPooh.I am sorry I didn't get all of it.I mean I am already unprojecting mouse positions at at both near and far plane in 3D world.what I want is to change the near point to player's position.I can't seem to get that working.As you can see I have tried to translate the near point to player's position and then calculated the direction of arrow from near near point to far point.But it still not working.Where am I wrong?
neogeocg posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHello, I am making this 3rd person shooting game in which there is a player and enemies in the 3D world and I want to shoot arrows at the enemies.What I want is to control the cross hair of the player via the mouse.The problem is mapping mouse coordinates to 3D world.Now I am well aware of the popular picking code at MSDN forum but that is for the First Person Camera.Mine is a Chase camera(the camera is positioned at some offset behind the player).I cant seem to understand how to give the proper direction and initial position of arrow so far I have used this but it fails. [b]Vector3 farSource = new Vector3(Mouse.GetState().X, Mouse.GetState().Y, 1); Vector3 farPoint = Game1.Instance.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Unproject(farSource, camera.Projection, camera.View, Matrix.Identity); Game1.Instance.ModelManager.addModel("Arrow", (ModelPosition + new Vector3(0, 40, 0)), Vector3.Normalize(farPoint-Vector3.Normalize(ModelPosition+new Vector3(0,40,0)))*2.0f);[/b] Basically what I am trying to do is when the user presses right click on the mouse, a model of arrow is added to the 3D world whose initial position is that of player position plus some offset(so that shot is fired from the centre of player) and the direction is determined by subtracting far point from player position and then normalizing it.This is not working because shots are very offset from original mouse position.Please help.Thank you
Thank you all for replying "[b]slicer4ever[/b]" what you wrote worked but (even though the camera was behind the object) I had to explicitly add an offset value to the Y component of camera position to keep the camera up because it was at the same level as the object.I will really appreciate if you explain this "[b]camera.position = object.position + object.forwardVector*(camera.offset.length/object.forwardVector.length)[/b]" to me.Thank you
First of all ,Thank you for your replies. I think I have made a mistake in describing my problem.Actually I am implementing a chase camera.I have two classes,the camera class and the object class(the 3D object the camera is chasing). Initially the camera is behind the object as some predefined offset.Now as I rotate the object its forward vector rotates along y-axis.In the camera class I have a camera position and a camera offset.The camera position is determined as "[b]camera position=object position+camera offset[/b]".Now in order to keep the camera always behind the object I want to rotate the offset so that its parallel to object forward and then to get the new position of the camera I use the above equation(with the new transformed offset).What I need is a way or built in function that rotates the offset to object's forward every time I rotate my object.Thank you My vector math has become a little rusty over the years of "no practice".So plz bear with me:).Thank You for your help
neogeocg posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHello, i am stuck at some basic xna math.I have two 3D vectors .The first vector is pointing in some direction and the second one is pointing in another direction.Now i want to make the second vector point in the same direction as the first one,hence making both vectors parallel.Please suggest a built in method in xna or a way i can accomplish this?.Thank you

Dreams - Poem by David Wood
I think of you but you are not here,
I picture your face in my day and
I can see you clearly. The beauty
Of your smile, that gap between
Your front teeth, your sweet lips.
They are everything that the garden
Of my mind focuses on, but you're
Not here. Just the still air that I
Breathe. I dream aloud that we are
Walking together, holding hands.
I hold you closer through the ether
That separates us yet binds us
Until we can meet again. Reinventing
The love that we had. Holding on
To the vision until it fades in the distance.

Using the Smart Body Analyzer is quick and painless-simply geton and allow it to do its thing. Each reading takes 60 seconds or so; the dimensions will first show excess fat, then a body fat percentage, your heartbeat, and room air quality. The scale's display also shows a good bar over the bottom of each and every measurement, which indicates the regular range for the age and weight, and where your overall measurement falls in line. It's a good choice for quickly putting the numbers into context. Each measurement will then be recorded and plotted along a graph, in order to easily track your progress with time.
InlineThe Web interface offers you a lot of information, but I learned that it could be a bit overwhelming. Luckily, you can find useful tips and tidbits that really help you better comprehend the readings and just how they correspond with your overall health. Fat percentage, by way of example, could be confusing for health novices, so Withings explains the traditional ranges as well as tips on how to transform your numbers. The interface is a little cluttered though, and I actually found myself with all the Android app a lot more.
The app, which can be free for iOS or Android, features a much cleaner look, and the information is simple to digest. All important metrics are charted along line graphs, and you will adjust enough time range to become more specific snapshots of the health. I also thought it was was much easier to set goals with all the apps as opposed to Web interface. On the Web interface, the objectives are buried in a easily missed tab. On the apps, the goals are right up top, helping you to see your present pace and ways in which close you happen to be to achieving your main goal.
A recent update to the size's firmware brings all the more information in your daily weigh in. You get localized weather forecasts, step counts, as well as the ability to re-order the knowledge on the display; as an illustration, it is possible to set weather information to show up before fat percentage or heartbeat measurements.

Crutchfield Corporation
|Consumer electronics retail
|Charlottesville, Virginia
Crutchfield Corporation is a national retailer specializing in a wide range of electronics, including mobile audio and video equipment for the automobile, along with speakers, televisions, and other electronics for home or portable use. It was created in 1974 by William G. " Bill" Crutchfield, Jr., founder and CEO. It is based in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The company was created during the restoration of classic sports cars by Bill Crutchfield. Unable to find anyone to upgrade the car stereo in a Porsche 356 coupe he was preparing to sell, he realized there was an opportunity to offer to car stereos to others interested in this type of DIY project.[1]
Company growth[edit]
Over the years, the company has expanded and currently employs over 400 employees.[2] Bill has expanded the Charlottesville facilities to include a sizable headquarters, a main distribution center, and a secondary distribution and processing center. In addition, Crutchfield has a satellite facility in Norton, Virginia.
Crutchfield has had retail storefronts in Charlottesville, Virginia and Harrisonburg, Virginia for years. On September 29, 2013, the company closed the previous Charlottesville location and opened a store with a new format at a different location in Charlottesville. The Charlottesville store now uses patented technologies to offer virtualized listening experiences for hundreds of speakers, and contains interactive fixtures offering access to multiple photos, customer reviews, deep technical information and more for every product featured.[3]
Online, Crutchfield has upgraded their initial website by introducing their Outfit My Car tool, an online tool that makes use of highly specific in-house measurements of thousands of vehicles to verify fit for aftermarket speakers and car stereos.[4] Additional improvements and innovations include the creation of the Crutchfield Community site, where customers may post to forums and read and comment upon blogs,[5] and the launch of the Crutchfield TV YouTube channel in June 2008.[6]
Focus on information[edit]
Since 1974, Crutchfield's business model has evolved with a focus on a few key areas. Due to a survey Bill Crutchfield conducted with his first customers, and the resulting success that ensued when he added deep car stereo installation information to his third catalog,[7] access to and sharing of extensive information about audio gear and installation became a key mission early on. As Crutchfield grew, it developed formal departments dedicated to Vehicle Research and Product Research. The company claims to have assembled the largest database of vehicle fit information,[8] largely through taking apart vehicles at car dealerships, junkyards and other locations in order to get precise measurements of the vehicles' internal spaces for speakers and car stereos. As of October 2013, they had fit information on over 17,000 vehicles.[9] This information drives internal resources to support sales and tech support, and also is the basis of the database powering the online Outfit My Car tool. The Vehicle Research department also provides the information needed for Crutchfield to produce MasterSheets™, which they describe as detailed, illustrated instruction sheets for installing car stereo products in specific vehicles. Crutchfield provides these MasterSheets for free to Crutchfield customers who purchase an in-dash stereo or speakers.[10]
The Product Research arm of Crutchfield verifies the data provided by manufacturers on each consumer electronics product, for car and for home or portable use, and performs additional tests and measurements. This data is then incorporated into a product information database available to customers online and also used by Crutchfield staff when providing sales support and post-purchase tech support.[11]
Awards and recognition[edit]
In 2007, Bill Crutchfield was inducted into the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame alongside Paul Allen and Amar Bose.[12] The company's website, Crutchfield.com, was the first vendor-authorized audio/video retailers on the Internet.[13] In addition, as of September 2013, Crutchfield was the only internet retailer to have won BizRate's Platinum Circle of Excellence Award fourteen years in a row.[14] Crutchfield Corp.'s call center has been certified by J. D. Power and Associates' Call Center Certification Program for "meeting key expectations"[15] and "outstanding customer service experience."[16]

Dave Eggers was born on March 12th, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts. His family moved to Lake Forest, Illinois when he was a child. Eggers attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, until his parents' deaths in 1991 and 1992. The loss left him responsible for his eight-year-old brother and later became the inspiration for his highly acclaimed memoir "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius". Published in 2000, the memoir was nominated for a nonfiction Pulitzer the following year. Eggers edits the popular "The Best American Nonrequired Reading" published annually. In 1998, he founded the independent publishing house, McSweeney's which publishes a variety of magazines and literary journals. Eggers has also opened several nonprofit writing centers for high school students across the United States.

The district of Amssafah for more than 300 years was under the dynasty of Sadienne. Close to the Riad there are many historic buildings and cultural sites such as the Chrob Fountain Mdresa Ben Youssef Qobba the museum of Marrakech and within ten minutes walk from the Riad there is the fabulous complex Soukier Semmarine and the world famous Jama el fna square. The Riad Amsaffah is very popular due to its budget friendly pricing and is one of the older and more traditional properties in the area.
Riads are the total Morrocan experience and always situated within the walled medina with its souks and markets. The streets are winding and cobbled therefore the transfer vehicles will get as close as possible and some walking may be necessary. Riads are small properties and family run the staff are there to offer assistance and advice along with our free resort representatives. The bonus of Riads is the ability to request specific Morrocan meals in advance which will be home cooked to order and taken either in a traditional salon or possibly on the rooftop terraces. Riads are peaceful havens and very contrasting to the hustle and bustle of the Medina areas and are suited to couples single travellers and families with older children they may contain steps or narrow stairwells and the medina pathways are normally uneven and may not suit customers with walking difficulties or mobility problems. It must be noted that Riads are not hotels they are private residences and more intimate and traditional in their concept than a chain hotel. The Riad Amsaffah is a well maintained yet older property and suitable for customers looking for a great base from which to explore the medina at pocket friendly prices. If guests want to glimpse a taste of Morroco then these properties are a must!
The Riad Amssafah consists of 20 simply furnished rooms and suites all of which are air conditioned in high season. Suites are also equipped with satellite TV and small fridge. Please note guests will be allocated specified rooms subject to availability.

Nudity has long been an art form as much as it has been termed an obscene act. Painters use it as an art form. Sculptors used to use it to bring out the beauty of their art. It may be an art form to these people but to Bollywood it is a stoop down - a shame to India if that is what the industry represents. The recently happened Rahki Sawant incident was a testimony of that. There is really no need to pick out only that incident to prove my point. Rakhi Sawant like other upcoming Bollywood actresses and item girls has innumerable proof of her obscenity. The very same things that you find in a pornographic magazine are found in a very acceptable manner in which it is not labelled as pornography but is very much an abomination to the culture we are so proud of.
The trend started with Helen, which was not really about how sexy you were. Helens stylings are comparable to belly dancing in nations like Egypt and Africa. It may have been arousing but was not at all as pornographic as it has gotten these days. It could be rooted in the fact that Bollywood is edging closer to Hollywood and it's styling very consciously. Hollywood exhibits very open sexuality in their movies, which probably comes from a sex taboo free nation. Before lip-to-lip kissing became an issue to bring up in Bollywood from scratch, it was a well established in Hollywood. It is not uncommon to walk around a place in America or the UK and find people kissing each other totally unconscious of who may or may not be watching them. Lets face it-the open confrontation of sexuality is what is needed. It needs to be understood that it is not shameful to be sexually free because it indeed an integral part of everybody. And at the same time there is a limit beyond which it counts to vulgarity. There's no use denying it. The more you deny it, the more you hide it in. The more you hide it in, the more it you'd want to come clean with it. The more people see that you want to come clean with it, the more it is a taboo.
Actresses like Rakhi Sawant, Esha Deol and Neha Dhupia (in flicks like Julie) have used it as a tool to get popular before denouncing it. For that matter skin show in Bollywood is one thing that upcoming actresses have been known to tackle and not very well-more than often they succumb to doing ridiculously exposive "skin flicks", as they call it, saying that it the only way you get around to getting meatier roles. In an industry where you put forth the Indian culture, this trend is very Indian indeed!
Whatever the intention is behind this skin show- commercialism, showing the western that we are on par with them or insecurity about our sexuality- is, one thing is for sure-it does not at all exalt Indian filmmaking, Indian artistry or Indian values.

I have a george WATT in my family tree, I have not been able to find his birth. All I know is that he was born in Maitland NSW Australia around 1849.
He married Elizabeth Rosetta Mary Bolton in 1872
and he died in 1926 Balmain NSW Australia.
It is also possible that he was a step brother to a Alexander McIntyre of Balmain NSW Australia.
Any info that can be shared would be most appreciated.
Thanking you

St Pauls Cathedral became an inspiration to the British people during the SecondWorldWar .The general population was subjected to the might of the German airforces Blitzkrieg attack on major cities across the UK.Throughout the Blitz, St Pauls miraculously escaped major bomb damage, whilst buildings in the surrounding areas were reduced to rubble. Images of St Pauls framed by the smoke and fire became a symbol of the nations indomitable spirit. In 1945 services at St Pauls,marking the end of the war in Europe, were attended by 35,000 people.
Painter, potter and stained glass artist, born in Stratford, Lancashire. After working as a designer for Pilkington's Pottery Company under Gordon Forsyth, Cundall studied at Manchester School of Art, obtaining a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, 1912. After World War I army service he returned to the Royal College in 1918, then from 1919 to 1920 attended the Slade, and furthered his studies in Paris. Cundall traveled widely in several continents and became noted for his panoramic pictures, such as Bank Holiday Brighton, in the Tate Gallery (accession no. NO4700). He was a member of NEAC, RP, RWS and other bodies and was a prolific RA exhibitor. He had first solo show at Colnaghi 1927. He was an Official War Artist in World War II, during which time he was sent to Quebec (1944). In the same year he was elected RA. His wife was the artist Jacqueline Pietersen.
His technical facility - especially when working on large panoramic canvases - was remarkable. His pictures are rich with texture, light and movement. He was equally at ease with aerial views, landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes, and was a master of crowd scenes. His work as an Official War Artist has never received the attention it merits.

It's culinary confession time: I have stalked Bonefish Grill's coconut pie and rum sauce like it is my job. Oh, wait — it is my job!
Seriously though, my Crustless Coconut Pie is the modern mix of an old-fashioned buttered coconut pie with coconut custard. I remember a recipe from my youth called an Impossible Coconut Pie because it had no official crust, yet formed one while baking. Although that pie was thinner and chewier than the creamy mountain wedge you get at the restaurant, there is a similarity.
Seems like Bonefish Grill doesn't make a secret of its recipe, nor am I the only one interested. With a quick Google search, I found several copycat recipes as well as more reputable sources claiming the recipe on their site was the official Jamaican Coconut Pie served at the restaurant.
So I hit the test kitchen with various versions in hand and gladly went to testing them. Of course, I couldn't help myself from tinkering just a little. One major change was reducing the rum in the sauce. In my opinion, it was way too potent for a dessert sauce. I also reduced the amount of sugar and whipping cream, figuring our waistlines would appreciate my efforts.
I think an eighth of the pie is an ample serving with the rich sauce, so I have also increased the yield.
Even if you've never had Bonefish Grill's coconut pie, you've got to give this recipe a try! Enjoy!
Crustless Coconut Pie
(a la Bonefish style)
6 large eggs
1½ cups whole milk
½ cup whipping cream
⅓ cup sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups fresh shredded coconut (frozen or thawed is fine), plus more for toasting, optional
Rum Sauce (recipe follows), optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, flour and vanilla. Mix on medium-high speed 2 minutes until light and smooth. (You might need to break up any flour balls or bubbles with a fork.) Stir in 2 cups coconut.
Pour coconut mixture into a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Place on center rack and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until set and light golden-brown on top.
Meanwhile, toast the reserved coconut, if desired, and let cool. Set aside. If using the rum sauce, prepare now. Set aside.
When pie is done, remove from the oven; cool 20 minutes. Slice and serve with toasted coconut and rum sauce, as desired.
Makes 8 servings.
Each serving of pie has about 238 calories, 14 grams fat (9 grams saturated), 152 milligrams cholesterol, 8 grams protein, 20 grams carbohydrates, 2 grams dietary fiber, 78 milligrams sodium.
Jamaican Rum Sauce
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup dark Jamaican rum
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the sugar. Stirring constantly, heat over medium until the sugar is melted and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Set aside to cool slightly before using.
Sauce can be refrigerated and heated in the microwave for leftovers.
Makes about 2 cups.
Each tablespoon has about 76 calories, 6 grams fat (3 grams saturated), 15 milligrams cholesterol, trace protein, 4 grams carbohydrates, no dietary fiber, 42 milligrams sodium.

By Craig Wilson, USA TODAY
Is another Gone With the Wind— one of those sweeping Southern sagas in which love is lost and cotton is king — hitting bookstores? The publishing world thinks just maybe.
Roses by Leila Meacham (Grand Central, 624 pp., $24.99), out this week, is drawing comparisons not only to Margaret Mitchell but to her literary descendants as well.
•Publishers Weekly calls Roses an "enthralling stunner, a good old-fashioned read ... heralding the overdue return of those delicious doorstop epics from such writers as Barbara Taylor Bradford (A Woman of Substance) and Colleen McCullough (The Thorn Birds)."
•Library Journal says readers "will devour this sprawling novel of passion and revenge."
Roses spans more than a century and tells the tale of three generations of powerful plantation owners in East Texas. There are struggles between timber magnates and cotton tycoons and more than a few secrets, of course, including an illegitimate child. The book is screaming to be made into a TV miniseries.
Meacham, 71, a retired English teacher in San Antonio, is taken aback by the hoopla. "Oh, of course I'm surprised," she says. "This is my first rodeo, really."
Meacham published "little" romance novels in the mid-1980s, "but I didn't know what I was doing. I wrote the first one on a dare. I was hoping to lift the literary quality of the romance genre, although I'm not sure I did."
She began Roses back then but put it away for almost 20 years — returning to work on it again about five years ago.
"I just kept coming back to it. I persevered," she says. "And now I'm astonished at what has happened."
Comparisons to Gone With the Wind, which Meacham says she has never read, are being made. Her main character, Mary Toliver, could be Scarlett O'Hara's kin.
"I was shocked when I first heard that," she says. "I've seen parts of the movie, but I never sat down for three hours to see the whole thing."
Deb Futter, editor in chief of Grand Central, calls Roses "a great yarn well told.
"That's what people are looking for. Something to curl up with in front of the fire in January," Futter says.
So what's next? Yep, another sweeping epic. "In Texas again," Meacham says, "but it won't be a sequel."
After all, tomorrow is another day.

Mr. QUAYLE. Madam Speaker, last Friday's jobs report was incredibly disappointing. We only added 18,000 jobs to the U.S. economy. Our unemployment rate went up to 9.2 percent. Not to mention the fact that we had a downgrade, a revision, of last month's, of May's job report to only 25,000 jobs. The deeper you go into that jobs report, the worse it gets, because for those who are underemployed, that's about 16 percent to 17 percent of the United States population, and that is not even including the 250,000 people who went off the rolls of the unemployed because they just stopped looking for work.
We've been talking about jobs for a long time. You hear it all the time in
the halls of Congress. But what have we done? The House has passed a number of bills that would immediately open up a marketplace for job creation and job growth, but unfortunately our friends on the other side of the Capitol in the Senate have done nothing to advance these pieces of legislation. And it's not like they've had anything to do. I mean, they haven't even passed a budget in over 800 days. So I would ask our friends in the Senate to start to push these pro-growth economic policies so we can get Americans back to work.
But it's not just our friends on the other side of the Capitol who are holding us back. It's the administration who has pursued policies that have hurt job creation and economic growth. To be a good manager, to be a good executive, you have to be able to do two things well: One is to be able to analyze and pinpoint a problem, and the second part is to find a solution for that problem. Unfortunately, we have an administration that doesn't even do the first part well. They actually pinpoint problems that don't exist, or problems that aren't problems at all, so you can't even get to a solution that will get Americans back to work.
Let me give you a couple of examples of this. Recently, the President said that one of the problems we have with job creation is with ATMs and kiosks at our airports. I didn't know about the scourge of ATMs and kiosks, but apparently those are what are holding back our job creators. This is called innovation. This is called efficiency.
It reminds me of a story of when the famed economist Milton Friedman went to China. He was witnessing some excavation for a canal, and there were thousands of people who were digging with shovels. Milton Friedman asked: Why aren't you guys using bulldozers or excavators, those things that will make this more efficient?
The Chinese officials said: Then we couldn't put these people to work.
To that, Milton Friedman responded: Why don't you give them spoons?
Innovation and efficiency make our economy stronger, they're net job creators, so we should be going after what is really holding our country and is really holding back economic growth, and that is the NLRB who is attacking American companies who want to create American jobs. That is the EPA, who is going after numerous pieces of regulation that will in the near term kill jobs, in the medium term kill jobs, and in the long term kill jobs. We should be going after the FTC who is now going after Captain Crunch and Tony the Tiger. Those sorts of things are the ones that are holding our country back and holding back economic growth. We should be looking at those burdensome regulations and removing that and letting our entrepreneurs and our job creators unleash the ingenuity that they have within them.
There is one area of agreement that I do have with the President, and that is with the free trade agreements. The free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama need to be passed through the House. But we've got to agree on something. They have been sitting on the President's desk since he has been in office. I urge the President to send those free trade agreements without any additional spending attached to them, because those are job creators. For every billion dollars worth of exports, it is 10,000 jobs here at home.
So I really hope the administration starts to pinpoint and look at the real problems that our country is facing so we can get America back to work and we can lead to more economic growth and prosperity, because it starts with the American worker.

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA -- Comfort Inn on Steubenville Pike, Pittsburgh, PA. We discovered blood on a pillow we did not use, to which we notified the hotel staff. The staff/management and owner all claimed there was nothing they could do. When the front desk person called the owner he refused to speak with us or do anything about the fact we had a pillow with someone's blood on it in our room. We were told several times to contact the owner but he is elusive and never there when we call. He will not call us to settle the matter or even apologize. Just be careful, some rooms may be clean but I would rather not chance it again. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO -- We just got back from spending 4 nights at the Castle Rock, CO Comfort Suites. The first morning there was orange juice at the breakfast bar. Next morning only apple juice. When asked, the server just said they were out. Next two mornings they were also out. Inquired at the desk and was told they ran out because of a blizzard the week before and no deliveries since then. I asked if there were no grocery stores in Castle Rock that carried orange juice, but was told only one person is on duty and can't leave. Amazing.
We travel there in April every year for a glass show held nearby. This was our first stay in this hotel. And our last. Don't these places realize it is the little things that decide if we will return?
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA -- I made a one night reservation at the Comfort Suites Hotel Airport in Fort Myers, FL, not being aware of their 24 hour cancellation policy. (I cannot find any reference to the policy on their reservation page.) My flight from MI was delayed due to weather, and I therefore missed my connection to Fort Myers. I called the hotel to cancel my reservation and was informed I would be charged for the room anyway. Don't hotels cater to travelers, and don't travelers sometimes have travel difficulties? Airlines rarely cancel flights 24 hours in advance. I will NEVER make a reservation at this hotel chain again.
Every Christmas I have a lengthy stay at Comfort Suites in Denton and this year hoping for a cheap airfare I double booked the rooms until I knew exact dates of arrival and departure. Well my American Express bill arrived and I am billed three times (@ $100 a night) for "No Show."
I actually stayed for 10 days, I notified them at the desk when I checked in of the double booking and even contacted by telephone of the situation BEFORE my arrival. Now here I am.. having to pay 3 separate "no show" fees. The Manager will not even take my telephone call to hear my explanation and he is standing on his decision I "no showed" for three extra reservations and I am to pay for it. So I am paying an extra $300 dollars (+/-) for "no show" penalty.
Before I arrived to the hotel I called by telephone in advance of the exact arrival dates and again when I arrived made a "in person" explanation of this... This is robbery, I feel I am stuck to pay and have no recourse. What can I do? One thing is sure... They have lost me and my family as customers now after many years of frequent reservations it comes to this? Can anybody suggest what I can do about this? Thanks.
GLEN ALLEN, VA, VIRGINIA -- The general manager was OK - she could have been a little more professional and attentive to her employees. But my main problem was the continental breakfast host, he seemed to be more interested in flirting than giving customer service. He asked me if I had a man and for what purpose was it of his to know!!!! When I did need him to help me because there was not any more food left and it was about 8:30 am, he was a no show for about 30 minutes. The place was a mess and where was he to clean it. I would never recommend someone to stay here with that kind of service. Housekeeping was OK.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- My husband and I drove 2 1/2 hours to San Antonio to take our toddler to see Sesame Street Live. The hotel appeared clean, but that night after showering and getting into bed I complained to my husband that my feet itched. I did not remove the entire bedding (I did a spot check), however the next morning I noticed bites on my feet and when I pulled the sheets back you could visibly see several fleas!
I went to the front desk, but the clerk stated she would call the GM and go look at the room with housekeeping later. I stood there as she "phoned" the GM and asked me if we could check out as planned and the GM would refund the card back once he came in later. Well that never happened. In fact I left several messages by phone, and finally got a response after I faxed a letter. His excuse... yes they were recently treated for fleas, they only found one in our room, and with this being Texas we must have brought it with us!!! Don't stay here unless you take bug spray!!!
EL DORADO, ARKANSAS -- We're frequent Choice Hotel clients and have seen both outstanding and sub-par. While staying in El Dorado, AR, we were completely dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the rooms. Our first room had a filthy bath and wet sheets!! After calling the front desk and moving rooms, we were again unsatisfied. The room, a non-smoking, smelled like an ashtray. There were dead bugs in the corners, and the bath was again dirty - water spots all over, like it hadn't been cleaned in forever. The desk attendant was so helpful, but nothing could change the fact. The rooms were inadequately cleaned!
LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA -- My wife and I checked in to the Lumberton, NC Comfort Suites on Sunday, Sept 2, 2007. We asked if the pool was up and running because my wife wanted to enjoy the sun the next day and be able to swim. We were told it was ready to be used. On Monday morning, around 8:30 am, we went down to have the free breakfast and my wife looked at the pool. The water was visibly greenish in color from the breakfast area and when my wife looked at it, it had algae on the bottom. When we brought this to the attention of the clerk, she looked at it and agreed it looked dirty, but she could not do anything for us.
The manager was not on duty and the maintenance person wasn't coming in. At that point, about 9 AM, we decided to check out. As we were leaving at around 9:40 am, the clerk got in touch with the manager, who said she wasn't coming in until 11:00 to check the pool. We left a contact number and were told she would call when she came in.
At 11:38 am, without a phone call from the hotel, I called and was greeted by the clerk who transferred me to the manager. She proceeded to downplay my complaint by claiming the pool was fine when she got there at 10:00. When I expressed that we were concerned about the pool's appearance and were therefore dissatisfied, she said that the 110% Satisfaction Guarantee did not apply to us because we left and the pool was fine in her judgment. I feel that they were disingenuous and rude in their treatment of my concerns. The pool was not clean.
T OR C, NEW MEXICO -- This hotel has a secondary entrance that requires a key card to enter. The lock was disabled/broken and allowed anyone to enter the interior of the hotel, unmonitored, at any time of the day or night. This is a major security issue for those choosing hotels based on security.
The second issue is the "slamming door" effect. The rooms have large, heavy doors that self-close. The problem is that when they close they create an effect that is similar to a door being slammed. The hotel design is such, that this noise reverberates throughout the long hallway and sounds like it is happening in your room.
Third major issue is that this hotel has very poor customer service response from its management. They will either not reply to your concerns or if they do respond, it is in a very rude fashion. They get away with it, because the hotels in the area book up very fast on the weekends and they know that they will fill up regardless if you choose to stay there or not. Horrible customer service.
GRUNDY, VIRGINIA -- Upon arrival, the front desk person ** was so welcoming and accommodating. We had been riding our motorcycle all day in the mountains and was exhausted. She was very efficient and followed up with us a half an hour later to make sure everything was satisfactory. The next morning at breakfast, ** was very concerned that our meal was perfect. Kudos to those ladies! Definitely would recommend Comfort Inn in Grundy, VA.

web site with mlm compensation program integrated
Budget $30-250 USD
Dear programer,
I need a web site ....could be a regular JOOMLA CMS, but hacked resistant. where users can login into their "back office" ( database is a must).
into their offices, they will be able to see their personal details, their profile, their group details and their points into the mlm scheme, etc
The web site will be in spanish ! I can provide all the translations, since speak both languages pretty well.
The web site will be a mlm company, so members will register automatically and will pay for the " business kit " online, with a regular bank transfer (must be bank transfer, not pat pal or credit card, because of the fess), so after they pay, they will get register and their members id number etc, that will allow them to sign in next members and so on....( the only way to sign in ...is having the id of a sponsor).
I need the payments to be a fix to the company,s bnck account, meaning only these options, with their respective points added to the mlm program automaticly added, once trasfer is complete.
A [url removed, login to view] 7 points
B [url removed, login to view] 15 points
C [url removed, login to view] 22 points
D [url removed, login to view] 32 points
E [url removed, login to view] 65 points
Thats the basic idea, but i need help also with the compensation plan, I am almost certain it will be binary 50 / 50 with 2 legs only
the ratio will dollars vs point would be around 15 points for us 100. but the compensation plan must have a stop payout limit, so the system will be sustainnable in the long run etc. so with the binary plan i would need you to run some some simulations in order to have to have an atractive compesation plan but, sostainable in the long run.
all the adm software can be in the english, but everything for the users, must in spanish, for such, i will provide the translations
I need a fix price for the whole project.
time is not an issue, most important of all, it has to be well design and software stable, with no bugs please (:
Looking forward for your replies
ideally you should have mlm experiance, integrating the web site integrated with the compansation plan of the company, in a automatic way, or as automatic as possible
the only thing that i want to do mannually is to pay the commissions to members ( with a fix maximum of dollars per month, for the sake of the mlm system, so it doesnt collapse in a coule of months or years)
