Surviving Hurricane Andrew: A local man's story
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) -- Category 5 storms are the rarest of all hurricanes. Live through a storm with winds in excess of 157 mph, and you'll have a story to tell for the rest of your life.
"The fear when you're that young and you see your parents are concerned and have been running around in the house, trying to board up the windows and keep water from coming in the house, those are scary, scary things," said Randy Lindstrom, who is a Hurricane Andrew survivor.
Andrew happened in the quiet Hurricane Season of 1992.
There were only six named storms that year, four of which became hurricanes. It's proof that it only takes one because Andrew, the Category 5 monster, remains the second costliest hurricane in U.S. history.
"My uncle was in Homestead where it really got pounded, and those areas down there were completely devastated," said Lindstrom. "If you look at tornado damage that's happened in the Midwest, those houses are completely gutted and that's what that area of town looked like, but it wasn't just a mile stretch."
Luckily Lindstrom and his family were not in the direct path of the eye, but it came close enough. The Lindstroms protected their house and made it through Andrew with just some minor cosmetic damage to the dwelling.
An 8-foot shed in the yard was not so lucky. It was blown several blocks away, and it contained a box with a Nativity, hand painted by Randy Lindstrom's great-grandmother.
"Everything that was inside stayed exactly where it was," said Lindstrom. "We had a box kind of fall, and the only thing that was missing, baby Jesus' arms broke off, but besides that, it's still in great shape. We still have it, and we still put it out at Christmas."
How does someone who survived one of the most powerful hurricanes on Earth prepare for the next one?
"If you do your due diligence and you cover up the windows and do what you can," said Lindstrom. "You hope for the best and you prepare for the worst. That's all you can do."

West Fargo mayor featured in New York Times report on wind energy
WEST FARGO - West Fargo Mayor Rich Mattern is featured in a story in today's edition of The New York Times titled "Dark Days for Green Energy."
In the story, Mattern talks about the city's plans for wind energy, despite the nation's credit crisis.
DMI Industries of Fargo operates a West Fargo plant that makes towers for wind turbines.
"Though the flat Dakotas are among the best places in the world for wind farms, DMI recently announced a cut of about 20 percent of its work force because of falling sales," reports The New York Times.
"I thought if there was any industry that was bulletproof, it was that industry," Mattern told The Times.
The story explains that much of the problem stems from the credit crisis that has left Wall Street banks reeling. The number of big banks and financial institutions willing to help finance installation of wind turbines and solar arrays has dropped from 18 to four, Keith Martin, a tax and project specialist with the law firm Chadbourne & Parke, told The Times.
Yet Mattern is optimistic.
"You drive across the countryside and there's more and more wind farms going up. I still have big hopes," he told The Times.

Using Contingent Choice Surveys to Inform National Park Management
Contingent choice surveys, in which respondents rate or rank alternative scenarios describing potential futures composed of varying levels of several different attributes, can help national park managers by identifying the preferences of visitors and also the nonuse values generated by park attributes. Many alternative combinations of park attributes can be explored efficiently, helping park managers to identify promising alternatives to be explored further during park planning processes. The surveys can be integrated easily into multiple stages of the existing National Park Service planning process. Another benefit of using contingent choice surveys in park planning is that it will foster interdisciplinarity. This paper describes National Park Service management policies and how contingent choice techniques can be integrated into them. A description of the different steps of a contingent choice analysis follows. Examples from Acadia National Park and North Cascades National Park illustrate the technique. The paper ends with a discussion of issues that future research should address.national park, management, contingent choice, choice experiments, nonuse values

Belfast St Patrick's parade turns city into sea of green
Sci-fi theme as thousands enjoy annual parade
Belfast city centre was turned 40 shades of green as thousands came out to celebrate a St Patrick's Day with a sci-fi twist.
Festival-goers went back to the future yesterday as a time-travelling St Patrick led the annual carnival parade from the front of the City Hall.
The streets were lined with many colours – but mostly green – as throngs of people watched the parade wind its way down Royal Avenue and finish up at Custom House Square for live entertainment.
Dozens of striking floats – including a DeLorean from the Back To The Future films and a Tardis from Dr Who – were among the main attractions, coinciding with the day's theme: 'St Patrick – To The Future'.
Despite the theme, many spectators dressed up in the more traditional St Patrick's Day outfits, such as leprechauns.
The parade showcased a brand new Belfast song, premiered by a huge Beat Carnival Street Choir, while X Factor's Shayne Ward entertained crowds at Custom House Square, following performances from Emerald Armada, Sontas, the Tir na nOg Irish dancers and the South Asian Dance Academy.
Taking part in the parade was Kirstie Toman, head of 3D Dance Crew from Lurgan.
More than 80 dancers, some as young as eight, impressed onlookers with their alternative moves.
"It has been a great day for all of us and a great chance to show everyone what we do," she said.
"Leading our dance troupe was choreographer Dior Cullen, who helped put together a great performance. Everyone who saw us seemed to enjoy it, as it was something different."
It was a special day for 25-year-old Miriam Ganz, who was celebrating St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland for the first time.
She said: "It's been really good and it's fantastic to see everyone out in the street.
"The parade itself was a lot bigger than I thought it would actually be.
"There were so many different acts taking part in the parade and I'm so happy I got the chance to see it all."
Among the spectators was Ballynahinch man Brian England, who attended the day's events with his two young daughters and his niece.
Some of the family's highlights included the dance troupe and floats.
He added: "It was great to see a good mixture of people and floats and it was a brilliant experience for the kids."
Speaking after the parade, Belfast Lord Mayor Mairtin O Muilleoir said: "This is certainly a fun, fantastic treat for all the family – from near and far – in Belfast today.
"We have shown the world today that we can put on a show and celebrate with the best of them."
The St Patrick's Day parade in Belfast attracted thousands of spectators yesterday. The theme of the parade was St Patrick – To The Future, and included costumes as well as floats, performers and music. Organised by Belfast City Council, the celebrations were led by 'St Patrick' himself and the Lord Mayor, Mairtin O Muilleoir, and featured a number of eye-catching floats.

Lottie Johansson talks to milliner and author Mary Jane Baxter about her love of vintage millinery and hatmaking
Is there a vintage hat designer you admire?
Im a big fan of the Danish milliner, Aage Thaarup. He travelled widely during the early part of his career, opening a millinery business in London in 1932. He designed the going-away hat for Princess Elizabeth in 1947, and the tricorn hats she wore, once crowned Queen, for the Trooping of the Colour until the mid-80s. I especially love the hats he designed in the 30s and 40s, as Im a fan of the make-do and mend wartime aesthetic. Millinery used to be a fantastic career for women and Thaarup famously said, that there was not a landlady in the country that would not accept a good hat in lieu of a weeks rent. I liked the idea so much that I tried it once, successfully trading a night in an Edinburgh hotel for one of my creations!
Do you collect vintage hats for inspiration?
I dont collect the work of a particular milliner, but I own around 15 vintage hats by little-known designers, largely from the 50s and 60s. I usually buy small half-hats with interesting use of trim, fabric or construction and learn a lot from looking at these pieces. Im often inspired by a trim used on a vintage piece and re-interpret it for my own designs. I also love reading about how hats were constructed. Hatmaking used to be a very common craft and many women made, or at least trimmed, their own hats at the kitchen table.
Which era do you find most inspiring for millinery?
I love the 40s the war years basically, for their improvisation. That desire to look good, even though resources were slim, is really touching. Hats werent rationed and they were seen as a huge morale boost. In reality, women often re-cut and re-worked pieces they already owned, to find a fresh new look without spending a fortune.
Whats your favourite vintage hat?
Its a 50s headpiece, covered in artificial flowers in various pastel colours - its so over-the-top! I made my own modern-with-a-vintage-twist version, covered in tiny white lilies. When I wore it, I was stopped over and over again by people wanting to talk about it. It seemed to spark all sorts of memories.
What are the signs of a well-made vintage hat?
Funnily enough its the ones that arent necessarily made so well that appeal to me. The finish might not be perfect and the blocking and lining may be missing, but nonetheless, these hats often achieved real style. In terms of collectable names, Lilly Daché designed fabulous hats for Hollywood and who wouldnt want to get their hands on one of Elsa Schiaparellis shoe hats? I also love looking at the vintage millinery labels inside hats some of them are real pieces of art.
Do you collect vintage hat stands?
There's no doubt that displaying hats well gives them extra impact. I've got a small collection of lovely wooden ones. None of my stands cost that much, but they're not that easy to find now. Vintage hat blocks are also very collectable and I've amassed quite a collection. Vintage hatboxes are a fabulous thing to collect, too.

CEDARY CITY — The Emery girls basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the 2A tournament with a 52-39 victory over Beaver on Thursday evening.
"I thought we played really good," Emery coach Dean Stilson said afterward. "Beaver had a couple of runs that we managed to weather, and we played good defense."
Although the Spartans held the lead throughout, Beaver made a couple of scoring runs — particularly when it had 21 points in the third quarter — that put Emery on high alert.
Macail Wood led Beaver with 16 points and nine rebounds. Hattie Snyder was limited to seven points but grabbed 10 boards.
"Their best player is Snyder. We tried to limit her touches and her shots, and I thought we did a good job of that," Stilson said. "Wood did do a little better job, but our game plan was to make sure the Snyder girl didn't beat us."
Beaver pulled to within three points early in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans quickly regained control to steadily extend their lead over the final six minutes.
On the offensive end of the floor, three different players reached double digits for Emery. Ashlyn Allred and Jeridi Price scored 13 points apiece and Hannah Dyer added 12 on four 3-pointers. Bailey Rasmussen pulled down 11 boards and scored nine points.
"We shot the ball really well, and that's probably the big key," Stilson said. "We shot the ball really well from the 3-point line and then our post players did a good job."
Emery shot 41.7 percent from the floor and 38.9 percent from beyond the 3-point line.
Aiding the Spartans' ability to find open outside looks was their ability to go inside first.Comment on this story
"We have some really quick guards, and they're aggressive. They get after it," Stilson said. "We're quick and a lot of times that's our favorite, if we can spread some people out."
Starting guard Shelby Allred, who has been playing on an injured ankle, scored two points for Emery.
"She struggled a little bit, but still gave it all she had. So I was appreciative of Shelby and what she did today," Stilson said of the senior.
The Spartans advance to the semifinal round and will play at 12:50 p.m. Friday. Beaver will play at 9:30 a.m. in the consolation bracket. Both games are at SUU.

In previous years, Super Bowl commercials were only shown during the game. But since last year, many companies are releasing their commercials early so as to create exposure for the companies.
Coke recently released their Super Bowl commercial and has a social media aspect added into the mix as well as a bit of controversy.
The company unveiled "Coke Chase" on Monday where three teams are pitted against each other. The teams consisted of Cowboys, Mad Max style men, and showgirls. The commercial shows the three teams vying for the coke at the end of the finish line.
The commercial starts off with a man of middle-eastern descent guiding a camel in the desert. Along comes the three teams who pushes the man to the side while they pushed and bumped into each other to get to the Coca Cola first.
Some people believe that Coca Cola depicted stereotypes of Arabs along with the depiction of the "slow" camel. People saw this as Coke making Arabs weak and unable to race.
So… are people saying there's discrimination against the camel or the man? I'm not quite sure.
Just a little trivia to our readers, horses have been proven to outrun camels. However, camels can outlast a horse in the desert. It can travel many days without food or water. Horses on the other hand can only travel half a day until they need food or water.
In the end, Coca-Cola wants people to vote who wins "Coke Chase."
The commercial will run during the Super Bowl and the winning team will be unveiled after the game.
Do you think Coca-Cola's commercial discriminated against middle-eastern people or perhaps camels? Perhaps Coca-Cola depicted the stereotype on purpose to create some publicity?
What do you think?

Editor's review
Multikino has a number of movie houses around the Tri-city, bringing the Stars and bucket-loads of popcorn to natives and visitors alike. Nearly all the movies coming out of Hollywood are shown with Polish Subtitles instead of being dubbed, so don't worry about having to here a deep, male voice speak in place of Cameron Diaz. The Multikino offers top notch refreshments in a clean and friendly atmosphere and is truthfully a much nicer place to enjoy a movie than most theatres in Western nations. Cinema is taken seriously here and the Multikino provides only the best for demanding movie-goers!

BPA is ubiquitous, and almost impossible to avoid—in part a consequence of America's badly broken toxic chemicals law.
There are tens of thousands of chemicals on the market, and an estimated 1,500 of them are recognized as potential endocrine disruptors. If we do tackle them one at a time, it will take millennia to deal with them. It's time to tackle them all at once. Make sure your Senators know that protecting American families from exposure to harmful chemicals is important to you!

Debate and discussion of any biological questions not pertaining to a particular topic.
Moderator: BioTeam

Tell me if this is a bad question:
Fungi differ essentially from green plants in that fungi
A - Are unicellular plants
B - Lack Cellulose Wall
C - Cannot synthesize protein
D - Cannot Absorb Water
E - Are unable to make Glucose from CO2 and H2O
I was thinking B but they listed the answer as E
Fungi do have cell walls similar to plants. The crucial difference is that they are heterotrophic, meaning that they cannot synthesize their own food source (glucose), whereas plants, being autotrophic, can make glucose through photosynthesis. The answer is E.
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.
#2 Total Post Count
I'm not sure I got your question right... all the options are wrong, are you asking which one is wrong the most? :P
A) Fungi are not plant, nor are they necessarily unicellular
B) They have chitine instead of cellulose as the main component of their cell wall
C) They can synthesize protein just like all nucleated cells and prokaryotes
D) They can absorb water, all living cells/organisms can
E) They are heterothrops
I think the key point in the question is "essential". It's basically asking "What's the biggest difference between plants and fungi?" And the answer is indeed B. It is kind of a crappy question though
The only similarities between plant and fungi cell walls is that they are called the same and that they share somewhat similar mechanical roles. The structure of the fungi cell wall is very different, it is made of chitin (poly-N-acetylglucosamine - thus a nitrogen containing sugar). Also, it cannot be stretched in response to a hormone, like the plant cell wall can in response to auxin. Not least, there is probably a lot less signaling which involves the fungi cell wall, whereas the plant cell wall can be used as a source of information.
"As a biologist, I firmly believe that when you're dead, you're dead. Except for what you live behind in history. That's the only afterlife" - J. Craig Venter
Choice E is correct. Fungi lack the ability to synthesize glucose as Green Plants do. Stated in another way, Fungi cannot carry out photosynthesis. And this has been one of the main reasons fungi were excluded from the Plant Kingdom.
Yep, choice E.
What did the parasitic Candiru fish say when it finally found a host? - - "Urethra!!"

I like Active Directory and use it within my own organization. I recently wrote an article on all the advantages of implementing an Active Directory environment for your client's organization. In the interest of fairness, I'll cover the disadvantages of moving to an Active Directory environment.
By far, the biggest reason for not recommending a switch to Active Directory is cost. If your client were to switch to an Active Directory environment, they'd have to incur the cost of the necessary Windows 2000 software licenses. There are many other costs too. They may have to upgrade the hardware on their servers if it isn't already adequate for running Windows 2000. There's also the cost of paying the IT staff to work overtime to perform the upgrade. They may also have to pay a hefty sum for training their IT staff to work with Active Directory.
You must also take into account whether your client has a compelling reason to upgrade to Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. After all, if they're running Windows NT 4.0 and it's getting the job done, why would they want to jeopardize a functional network and spend thousands of dollars just to switch to the latest Microsoft network operating system?
Before suggesting a jump into an Active Directory migration, also consider how Windows 2000 will work with your client's existing hardware and software. When Windows 2000 was initially released, it had lots of compatibility problems with older hardware and software. For example, when I upgraded my own network to Windows 2000, I discovered that my VoIP phone system would no longer work. Eventually, I had to get rid of the phone system because the company that made it refused to release a Windows 2000 patch, and I didn't want to waste my investment in Windows 2000 by downgrading. I also had problems with one of my scanners and the memory stick reader for my digital camera after upgrading to Windows 2000.
On a more serious note, the Cisco VPN 3000 concentrator did not work with Windows 2000 because the Cisco clients didn't support dynamic DNS, which Windows 2000 depends on. Many organizations ran into huge problems after upgrading to Windows 2000 because of this compatibility problem. Granted, Windows 2000 has been out for a few years and most of the compatibility issues have been resolved either by Microsoft or by the various hardware and software manufacturers.
If your clients are still running Windows NT Server, however, there's a good chance they're running other older hardware and software as well. I recommend taking a good look at the potential compatibility issues between their existing hardware and software and Windows 2000 before you even think about recommending an upgrade.
Another reason for not recommending an upgrade to Active Directory involves the complexities associated with such an implementation. The Active Directory structure works nothing like the Windows NT domain structure. You and your clients will have to do a lot of planning for the upgrade.
For example, Windows 2000 relies solely on DNS for name resolution, while Windows NT relied primarily on WINS. Because of reliance on DNS, you'll have to set up a DNS server within your client's organization. Unless one of their existing servers has enough free resources to also act as a DNS server, your client will need to buy an additional server and an additional copy of Windows 2000 Server just to run DNS.
Windows client issues
The client machines must be reconfigured as well. In a Windows NT Server environment, the clients are usually configured with the IP addresses of both a WINS server and a DNS server. In such an environment, the WINS server is typically used for name resolution on the local network and the DNS server is used by the company's ISP for Internet name resolutions.
When your client makes the upgrade to Windows 2000, you'll have to remove the references to the WINS servers from the clients and configure the machines to point to a local DNS server rather than to an Internet-based DNS server. This means the Windows client machines won't be able to surf the Internet unless you also configure the local DNS server to forward unresolved requests to the ISP's DNS server.
Will the client machine benefit?
Active Directory has some great features that are targeted toward clients, such as the ability to enforce security through group policies and to automatically distribute software to the clients. The problem is that not all clients can take advantage of such features.
All Windows clients are capable of logging into a Windows 2000 domain and accessing shared resources such as files and printers. But only clients that are Active Directory-aware can take advantage of things like group policies and automatic software distribution. This means that unless the client machines are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, they won't be able to use Active Directory to its full potential. There is an Active Directory extension available for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98. However, these extensions are very limited in scope and won't allow the machine to take advantage of most Active Directory features.
Can't see the forest for all the trees
One final reason for holding off recommending an upgrade to Active Directory is the time it takes to plan your client's server architecture. As I said, the Active Directory model is nothing like the Windows NT domain model. In Windows NT, servers were organized into domains. Each domain was an independent entity, but domains could be configured to trust each other and share resources.
In Windows 2000, the domain model still exists, but the domains are organized into tree structures. This means that there can be parent and child domains. The domain trees are collectively part of a forest in which each domain trusts every other domain. Because of the way domains work in Windows 2000 and the addition of two new structural components (organizational units and sites), there are now lots of different ways to build a network. You can organize a network geographically, by department, by both geography and job function, or any of a zillion other ways. While the ability to organize your client's network in so many ways gives you great flexibility, some organizational methods are much more efficient than others. And what works well in one organization won't necessarily work very well in another. So it isn't a good idea to implement Active Directory on a whim. Take the time to really understand your client's needs before you begin making changes.

The Loop would like to bestow a special award, the Superglue Award for Adherence to Talking Points, (or the Glueys) to Alice Stewart, spokeswoman for Rick Santorum.
In an impressive show of unwillingness to divert from script during an interview with a Dutch journalist posted on YouTube, Stewart subbornly repeats the phrase "Rick is strong pro-life" over and over again. However, that answer had little to do with what the poor fellow was seeking, which was a response to Santorum's widely-refuted claims that 10 percent of all deaths in the Netherlands are from euthanasia-- half of which are involuntarily — and also that elderly folks wear bracelets requesting that they not be put to death.
Our own Fact Checker, Glenn Kessler, concluded there was "not a shred of evidence to back up Santorum's claims about euthanasia in the Netherlands," and they were widely mocked in Dutch media.
The clip is entertaining for a number of reasons, including the Dutch subtitles and Stewart's perma-smile. But what really won over the judges was the wink she offers (see 1:12), as if to say, "C'mon, you know I've got a job to do here."
Watch and learn, aspiring flacks, because this is how it's done.

We want our coaches to instill the will to excel through teamwork, fair play, and learning the skills of the game. Nevertheless, our primary objective is recreational, that is, for kids to play and have fun.
Seasons MCLL operates a traditional Spring season for league play with games running from mid-March through the end of the school year. After the Spring season has ended, we have All-Star teams that participate in organized Tournaments against other Little Leagues in our District. MCLL also operates a Fall season that plays games on Sunday afternoons from late August through October.

Click link to redirect CSA website
Concorde Soccer Association (CSA) was founded in 1982 with a handful of boys teams featuring a wealth talent. Coaches from all over the world brought their knowledge and love of the game to Concorde. Players from all around Atlanta responded, resulting in a number of highly competitive teams.
In 2001, Concorde introduced an Athena program for girl's soccer. By again attracting top talent in both coaches and players, our Athena teams immediately began attracting attention. Concorde, long recognized for our superb boy's teams, is now equally dedicated to the same high level of soccer excellence for girls.
The Atlanta Concorde Fire Soccer Club was formed in June 2003 with the merger of two of the Atlanta areas premier leagues, Concorde Soccer Association and The Atlanta Fire. Sending six 2003 state championship teams to the regional finals, the club set the bar for excellence in play. The club now fields nearly 50 Select/Athena teams and recreational teams at all age levels, fielding more than 1000 players in age groups from U6 to U19. Our teams compete in leagues organized by the Georgia Soccer Association under the auspices of the United States Youth Soccer Association.
Our home fields are on Ashford-Dunwoody Road at Nancy Creek, next to Marist High School. They are part of a soccer complex that Concorde is developing in partnership with the Cowart Family Ashford-Dunwoody YMCA and the City of Brookhaven where two fields within Blackburn Park are used.

Nick Young's face here ⬆ describes what I look like when I come across these types of questions.
Not only is it annoying and funny, it buries all the good and fun questions from being more visible.
1. Rant Questions
It's not really a question because it doesn't ask for advice or for more information. It looks like a Facebook status or a tweet complaining about something. It might sounds like a rhetorical question that does not really have an answer. For example, "why do (certain) people do...?" It's just a rant and it welcomes users who agree with them to share opinions. God forbid, if you disagree or call them out on it because they might block you or insult you. It might even make them more bitter towards you. They are generally upset about something they just came across.
2. Mind Reading Questions
Sometime rant questions do sound like mind reading questions also. For example, "why doesn't he like me?" These questions ask you to read someone else's mind. No one is a mind reader. Barely anyone here knows who you are talking about and most of us don't know you either so we can't make an accurate prediction of what they are really thinking because we aren't familiar with the whole picture. For example, the most common question on here is "Does s/he like me?" and then there is details about it. If the details make it obvious that s/he likes you or doesn't like you then why would you ask this? If it sounds confusing, we are confused too because we don't have access to his/her brain.
3. Google-able Questions
These questions can be Googled. Users on GAG are not the Google search engine. Why waste our time by trying to make us Google something for you? I can't believe you would waste your question limit on something that can easily be googled. For example, "how long is the average penis?" can be searched up on Google.
4. Repetitive Questions
My answer won't change, no matter how many times you ask the question. It's annoying if you have to answer a question multiple times. These questions are generally asked about preferences. For example, "boobs or butt," "tall or short girls," and etc. People's preferences are not going to change every time you ask the question over and over again. Before you ask a question, please use the search feature on GAG to look up the question and the answers for it.
5. Ignorant Questions
These questions show that the asker didn't use any common sense before asking the question. Sometimes, they answer their own question without even realizing it. Even rant questions and mind reading questions are ignorant too because they didn't bother coming up with all the possible reasons on their own. For example, "Can white girls rap?" Seriously, do you honestly think race has an effect on rapping?
Is it Normal or Weird Questions
Normal and weird are definitions made up in an individual's mind. What someone calls weird might be normal to you or vice versa, so you shouldn't ask us what we think is weird or normal.

Angel Broking has maintained neutral rating on Reliance Communications, in its May 28, 2012 research report.
Angel Broking has maintained neutral rating on Reliance Communications, in its May 28, 2012 research report.
"For 4QFY2012, Reliance Communication (RCom) reported modest revenue growth but stood weak on the operational front due to a 23% qoq increase in network-related expenses on the back of some lumpy maintenance expenses during the quarter. Despite hiking voice tariffs for GSM as well as CDMA subscribers, average revenue per user (ARPM) of the company witnessed 2.2% qoq reduction because of increased competitive intensity in the industry. Due to lack of triggers except the monetization of its Infratel business or listing of cable business in Singapore, which can cut down its debt by more than half, we remain Neutral on the stock."
"RCom reported revenue of Rs5,310cr, up 5.0% qoq. Wireless revenue came in at Rs4,506cr, up 1.3% qoq on the back of qoq 1.3% qoq growth in MOU to 227 min. ARPU slipped by 1.0% qoq to Rs99 in 4QFY2012 from Rs100 in 3QFY2012. Overall EBITDA margin declined by 119bp qoq to 30.7%. PAT came in at Rs330cr, up 77.4% qoq, primarily aided by tax write-back of Rs119cr in 4QFY2012 vs. tax expense of Rs14cr in 3QFY2012 and gain on minority interest front of Rs129cr in 4QFY2012 vs. expense of Rs55cr in 3QFY2012."
"The company is trying to slash free minutes in the network to aid the overall ARPU profile of the company. Going forward, we expect RCom's mobile segment to record a 7.5% CAGR in subscribers over FY2011–14E and ARPM to stabilize at Rs0.44/min in FY2013 and FY2014. Currently, the company is striving to reduce the debt level in its books and has again kept its stance of selling stake in its tower assets, which might help the company to deleverage its balance sheet and reduce debt and can be a positive trigger to the stock price. However, various other announcements of selling tower assets were made earlier as well, but none of them materialized. Also, RCom is eying to list its cable business in Singapore. We maintain our Neutral view on the stock," says Angel Broking research report.

Though the dynamic writing duo Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman wrote the first Transformers, for the second one they had a little extra help from Ehren Kruger. Before getting a job on Revenge of the Fallen, Kruger was mostly known for horrible movies like The Skeleton Key and Scream 3. Alright he did have a hand in Blood and Chocolate, but that's the lone, shame-free spot on his resume.
Unfortunately for the third Transformers film it looks like it'll be all Kruger, whom Bay confirmed on his official site he'll soon be collaborating with to talk about new characters. There's a reason Kurtzman and Orci weren't mentioned. Roberto is a frequent contributor on the message board of Transformers producer Don Murphy and today he dropped the news that neither he, nor Kurtzman will have any involvement in Transformers 3.
That doesn't mean, however, that this is Kurtzman and Orci's reaction to how embarrassingly awful Transformers 2 was. Though we may suspect Kruger was to blame for some of the movie's less successful ideas, all three writers have been adamant in the past that they share equal responsibility for everything in the film. They're all to blame for Devastator's balls.

Monks are boring
View Single Post
August 18th, 2008, 16:51
Out of interest I did some research and I can as well post my comparision:
Regular armor give between 5-9 AC.
Type Armor/Dex (Max)
Padded +1/+8 (9)
Leather +2/+6 (8)
Studded +3/+5 (8)
Chainshirt +4/+4 (8)
Hide +3/+4 (7)
Scale +4/+3 (7)
Chainmail +5/+2 (6)
Breastplate +5/+3 (8)
Splint +6/+0 (6)
Banded +6/+1 (7)
Half-Plate +7/+0 (7)
Full Plate +8/+1 (9)
Regular shields give a max of +2 with the exception of Tower Shield.
Tower Shield give +4 with max dex +2.
For comparision: As a general DM rule, enhancements are /4 of the characters level rounded down (meaning +1 at level 5 and +5 at level 20). A character who uses shield have the potential to gain double the amount of AC.
As a general rule, a character who reach level 20 will most likely have 20 in their primary ability, meaning 20 dex as a dex-based class (Rogue).
There are four "builds" among regular classes:
1. Armor based with shield
Armor 8 Shield 4 Dex 1 + double enhancement = 11 + Enhancement x2
2. Armor based
Armor 8 Dex 1 + enhancement = 9 + Enhancement
3. Dex based
Armor 3 Dex 5 + enhancement = 8 + Enhancement
4. Dex based with shield
Armor 3 Shield 2 Dex 5 + double enhancement = 10 + Enhancement x2
Monks have no cap, but we can assume that their willpower scale up along with dexterity and that their dexterity begins high. They probably begin at 14 or 16 at level 1, meaning that they begin with +4-6 AC. They receive no enhancement but they get +1 AC bonus each 5 levels (compare with the /4 enhancement) above). If we assume that a monk pumps abilitypoints in wisdom and dexterity and reach 18-20 in each, they will have a total bonus of +11-13 at level 20. In addition to this a monk can use bracers of armor, so their only missing AC bonus really is the shield enhancement.
Now if we assume that they use the pile of money that a fighter would use on a big sword and armor, and instead waste that on an amulet of wisdom +8 and an equally good bonus to dexterity, then that bonus would be equal to what can be assumed by the armor+shield enhancement that a regular tank would get.
So in short, their AC will be better than a fighter carrying shield+armor. Their disadvantage is hitpoints. Their advantage is a great resistance against attacks that will deal full damage on a fighter. They will also deal more damage than a fighter using shield.
As a final note: Tower Shield generally needs the character to buy the proficiency. Fighters do get alot of feats but it might be painful for a paladin or barbarian to do so.
It should also be noted that a Barbarian do not get Heavy Armor proficiency either, meaning it's unlikely they will ever get an armor with +9 ac. In fact, they are more likely to have +6-7. While they will probably have a high dex, it will probably be less than a Rogue of the same level. And when they rage they drop AC anyway. All in all; a Barbarian is meant to take damage, which will ultimately wear them down unless they are healed and with the now nerfed "Heal" spell, healing 3-400 hitpoints during combat is unlikely.
Okay, now roll sanity.

Yes dear social book marking provides a good traffic to your site and increases the PR in search engines. You should used the highly page rank and dofollow social bookmarks sites with right keywords.
Social Bookmarking is very useful for indexing your domain and sometimes its for increasing the rank of my website for a particular keyword and got good results.
Yes do follow links always helps to increases the ranking because it is the part of seo then you should use the high PR social bookmarking sites and can get more traffic and good PR result. SMO provides a good traffic and helpful for improving the ranking.
Yes, social bookmarking helps a website to get good PR . Although, please take into consideration to submit on do-follow high PR bookmarking website which give you more link juice.
Social bookmarking giving long term benefits as your content is old in bookmarking sites. Bookmarking referral traffic will grow day by day.

Baseball and the great outdoors are two of America's most tried-and-true pastimes. This year we're happy to celebrate both, as we share our 100th birthday with our good friends at the Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park. Our partnership with Fenway has given us many unforgettable moments this year. We've visited with Wally the Green Monster, we've made limited-edition boat and totes out of the infield rain tarp, and we've auctioned off a tote signed by the entire Red Sox roster. But, to celebrate our first year as the sponsor of Maine Day, we took things to the next level.
We started off the game with Michaela Boissonneault, a Portland resident whose mother just so happens to work at L.L.Bean. As the winner of the Red Sox's Sing Your Way to Fenway competition, Michaela belted out an awe-inspiring rendition of the National Anthem.
As the players took the field, Wally and L.L.Bear got a chance to hang out again—and were joined by some new friends from UMaine and the Maine Red Claws. Together, these Maine mascots helped warm up the crowd for a great day of baseball.
Meanwhile, on Yawkey Way, fans were invited to Wally's World, where L.L.Bean staffers hosted countless games of lobster, moose, and boot toss.
L.L.Bean Boot lovers tried to guess the number of L.L.Bean Boots in this display to win a $250 gift card.
If we spotted fans with L.L.Bean gear, we surprised them with $10 L.L.Bean Gift Cards!
Throughout the game, L.L.Bean fans in the park and at home had a chance to win one of three sold out Fenway Boat and Totes by sending @LLBean a #MaineDay tweet on Twitter.
And of course, the Bootmobile was there, too!
Overall, we had a great Maine Day at Fenway Park. We'd like to thank NESN and the Red Sox organization for the opportunity. Were you at Maine Day or watching from home? What was your favorite part of the day?

Go figure, it actually looks pretty funny. At the very least, Will Ferrell isn't nearly as annoying as Tracy Morgan in Kevin Smith's "Cop Out", which is essentially the same movie as Adam McKay's "The Other Guys". Love the fact that Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock are basically spoofing their own film careers. And how exactly did Will Ferrell's nerdy forensics cop get a hot wife like Eva Mendes? Via Yahoo.
Detective Allen Gamble is a forensic accountant who's more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets. Detective Terry Hoitz is a tough guy who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an unfortunate run-in with Derek Jeter. Allen and Terry idolize the city's top cops, Danson and Highsmith, but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don't quite go as planned.
Starring Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Sloane, Michael Keaton, Ray Stevenson, Steve Coogan, Paris Hilton, Anne Heche, Rob Riggle, Damon Wayans Jr., and directed by Adam McKay.

Product Description
This sensual gift set from Earthly Body is as ethical as it is relaxing. Using only the finest ingredients, this luxurious duo contains a silky smooth massage candle and glistening Glow Oil. Both are 100% vegan, nourishing and make the perfect gift.
Light the candle and allow to burn, turning the soft wax into a sumptuously smooth liquid. Filling the room with aromatic temptation, pour the velvety smooth oil into your palm before drizzling over your lovers skin. The warming liquid will soothe deep into their muscles, leaving them relaxed and nourished.
Working alongside the moisturising candle, the Glow Oil can be used in a number of ways to suit your therapeutic needs. Turn your bathtub into a spa by adding a few sprays to the water. Lay back and relax as essential oils moisturise your skin and fragrant notes free your mind.
For all day scented skincare, spritz your skin after getting out of the shower. Allow the oil to gently absorb before patting dry and enjoy subtle wafts of sweet scented bliss throughout the day.
Alternatively, share with your lover and use this light spray as a delicate massage oil. Non-heavy and delightfully soft, this spray bottle applies a well spread mist to enhance intimate massages.

Very good
Reviewed: 10 August 2014 by Bign000b, a Straight Going Steady Male
I'd never used anything like this before and me and our lass like to try new things, so I surprised her with it and she absolutely loves it.
The smell is ok and the smell stays around on your body and bedding (if you get it on your bedding) for days.
It's a good product. We love the candle.
- Pros
- Smell stays around and is okay smelling.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Really love it.

I chose this set because I've tried Earthly Body Products before, and always feel confident using them because of the natural ingredients used in this product. Earthly Body has grown to be a huge favourite of mine, and when I saw this huge set, I couldn't wait to get it!
I opted for Guavalava, I've had the smaller gift set in this fragrance before and it's delicious, it smells like delicate fruits, not zesty, but more like a beautiful watermelon scent. I loved the small set, and wanted the bigger set because I know this is a product I'll use for a long time!
The packaging for this is beautiful, the box is as shown in the picture, but inside the box, is another pretty little box with a printed bow on, and inside that is your candle. I was really surprised with how big the candle actually is! It's huge!! I've always had the smaller tins of candles so it was quite a shock.
My favourite part of this gift set is the oil! It's just so silky smooth and smells amazing! I especially love how the larger bottle has a spray nozzle on top. The smaller gift set doesn't have this, and it can get quite messy when you're pouring it. The spray nozzle also makes sure that you don't use too much, meaning it lasts even longer! We used this a few times for massages, but because so little was being used in the bottle I've decided to use this as a moisturiser when I get out of the bath. I spritz myself with the oil when I'm slightly damp and rub it in. My skin always feels so soft and smooth afterwards, and even after a good nights sleep I can still feel the softness on my skin, and that beautiful scent.
The candle is also a brilliant addition. This candle has two wicks, meaning it burns more evenly and quickly. After a few moments, and the wax has melted the top layer it's good to use. The sensation of the warm oil pouring over your skin is sensational and because this is massage oil, it doesn't leave any nasty burn marks on your skin, it's beautifully gentle. It's also highly scented and the smell that fills the room when it's lit is beautiful.
This fragrance has now become a sort of aphrodisiac. Once you've used it once in an intimate setting, as soon as you smell it again you'll be so excited! Every time I smell this, I get butterflies in my tummy!
It's a wonderful, luxurious product and is great value for money. I'll be using this product for as long as I possibly can!
- Pros
- The luxurious feel it gives your ski. The scent.
- Cons
- Nothing at all.
- Bottom line
- A beautiful body oil and candle set that's sheer luxury.

Absolutely Gorgeous
Reviewed: 13 January 2014 by Scorpius12, a Straight Married Female
The minute I saw the new Earthly Body Candle Set I was so excited, and planned on treating myself. So, you can imagine my joy when I received this at Christmas as a gift from my lovely Husband! I received Skinny Dip as this is my personal favourite, but this set does come in Guavalava too which is also an amazing fragrance!
I adore the Earthy Body Massage candles and oils as they are superb quality and contain no nasty chemicals. They are also petroleum and phthalate free and contain all natural ingredients.
I was very impressed with the packaging for this set and therefore it would make a wonderful gift. Included in this set is a full size massage candle and a large spray bottle of massage / body oil. The candle comes in a separate box within the main box and has bows printed on it so you could give this to someone separately as a gift, which is a lovely touch. This is a great value set as these candles last ages. I have had at least 4 massages from the candle so far and there is still half full!
The candle is very simple to use. After lighting the candle, wait around 5 minutes to let the wax melt out to the edges. Whilst you are waiting for the oil to melt you can enjoy the lovely aroma in the room, which will make you feel really in the mood for a massage or anything else that takes your fancy!
The candle comes with a small plastic spoon to scoop out the oil when it has melted which is a great idea. But if you want to just pour the oil onto your partner's body you can do this too. The oil itself is really thick and a little goes a long way - it leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth.
The spray oil is also gorgeous and has so many uses. You can add a couple of sprays to your bath, pamper yourself by using this as a luxurious body oil after a shower or spray your partner and use it as a light and sensuous massage oil.
Overall this is a really lovely set and well worth the price. Both the Candle and the Oil are very luxurious and make a wonderful gift.
- Pros
- Great packaging, smells delicious and feels amazing on your skin.
- Cons
- Absolutely nothing.
- Bottom line
- Really luxurious massage candle and body oil set.

Softens your skin and feels wonderful
Reviewed: 10 January 2014 by sweetbiba
This Review is for the Skinny Dip variation:
A beautifully presented candle and bottle of body oil. It comes in a gorgeous box and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount you get.
I tried applying some to damp skin after a shower and it absorbed quite quickly, I naturally have quite oily skin and while it felt a little sticky for a while, my skin felt moisturised rather than greasy.
I haven't tried massage with the candle yet, when you light the wick rather than the oil disappearing like a normal candle, the oil melts and reaches a lovely temperature. Having tried it on the back of my hand, I think it would be great to drip onto tense shoulders and back to get rid of the stress of the day. It's got a bit of an organic scent, which I personally like. It's not overpowering and quite gender-neutral.
The main purpose of buying this kit was for sensual massage, I have very picky/sensitive skin and normal oils or baby oil just don't agree with it. As a test run to see what it would be like I spritzed some of the oil on my inner thigh and pubic area after showering. While it isn't advisable to use internally, I would be quite happy to use this for an all over and semi-intimate massage.
- Pros
- The feel on the skin and the smell.
- Cons
- Nothing, it ticks all my boxes.
- Bottom line
- Great as a gift, feels good on, smells nice.

Come Skinny Dip With Me
Reviewed: 30 November 2013 by LilMissMardyBum
Being a complete fan of Earthly Body products, and being somewhat bored of the massage candles and oils, I really hoped something different would appear in the range - and it did.
This is the first Earthly Body product that can be used in the bath and being a fan of baths I was very excited to get this product. Thank you Lovehoney.
The packing is a cream colour. It's beautiful and classy looking. The packaging doesn't look cheap at all.
On the front and back you get a good full size picture of the product. It's bright and clear and the product details are clearly visible and tell you everything you need to know about the product. I thought this was a nice detail as I was able to see what I was getting with the candle set without having to get the product out of the box, which would be ideal if you were to give this to someone as a present. There is no need to open the packaging to search for that important product information, because on the side of the box you get another clear description of the product.
Once you have opened the box you will come across a small gift box. The gift box itself is cream with a printed gold bow around. I thought this was a nicely added touch to have. The candle is in a separate gift box. It certainly makes the whole set look like an ideal gift to give someone. I plan on reusing the gift box for a massage candle I have bought for a friend.
The massage candle itself is noted as being a 3 in 1 candle. It can either be used as an all body moisturiser, a massage candle or even as a scented candle. I have primarily used the candle previously before as a massage candle. Once you have lit the candle and it has warmed up and the candle has melted into an oil, it is good to use. The candle oil doesn't burn and it feels very nice when your partner massages the oil into your skin. It's also very good when using a wand on your back with the massage oil. The candle comes with a small plastic spoon which you can use to scoop out the melted candle oil.
Using the candle as a moisturiser isn't something I have really tried. However the candle has a really nice smell to it and I can imagine, just like the oil, it will absorb into the skin very well.
The candle has been used as a scented candle. However I didn't feel that this gave off the strong scents compared to that of a scented candle you might buy in a shop.
The 'Glow Oil' really sold the set to me. I love having the option of using the skinny dip 'Glow Oil' in the bath. It adds something extra and different to our pamper night. Instead of massaging each other on the bed, we have the option to run a nice bath and take the massage into the water, or if you're wanting some nice me time, it can just simply be used as an oil bath too for you to lay back relax and be pampered while the oil moisturises your skin, leaving it nourished and soft feeling.
If an oil bath isn't something you like, the oil can be used directly onto the skin, spraying a light mist onto the skin. The Glow oil helps to soothe irritation and helps to rejuvenate dry damaged skin.
Overall I think the set is the perfect pamper present for those that like to be pampered. It's stylishly packaged smells delicious. Although it does seem a little pricey, I think the set is worth the price considering how many options you get with both the massage candle and Glow spray, and would recommended it to friends and family.
- Pros
- The packaging is beautiful, smell is amazing, products are made from natural ingredients.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A perfect pamper present for yourself or the one you love.

This morning I received an email from a client saying "What is Web Register South Africa about" So I did a quick Google search and found a crafty scam that is not new but keeps rearing its ugly head and trapping people in its deceitful web. Basically, there is a crowd in Germany that sends letters to businesses telling them to check and update their details for free on their website www.web-register-za.com and to include any other items they want to show by filling in a physical form with your company stamp or signature. The letters come with a South African government logo on the header and include a return envelope and fax number to send your form in... but dont get caught out by the dodgy use of the SA coat of Arms..

Sure, the HTC One is better in almost every hardware aspect there.
but think about it another way,
HTC are known for delayed updates, releasing sources very late and of course, needing to void your warranty to unlock the bootloader.
As gorgeous as their phones are, they are not very developer friendly....
I have lost love for HTC

I think one of the most dangerous things for an artist is to become satisfied with what you're doing.
CEDARVIEW, Duchesne County — A.D. Shaw has never been to China, but some of the paintings he created in his home studio have.
One of his pieces has also been presented to President George H.W. Bush as a housewarming gift after Bush left office and bought a home in Houston. Another was selected to hang in the office of Elder Boyd K. Packer, president of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Shaw said.
"The (LDS) Church Museum called me one day and said, 'Of all the general authorities, who would you like to have select your art for their office,'" Shaw recalled. "I immediately said, 'Boyd K. Packer.' They said, 'Why?' And I said, 'Because he's an artist and I respect his opinion.'"
Shaw ascended to his place as one of Utah's top painters — he received the Governor's Mansion Art Medallion in 1997 from then-Gov. Michael Leavitt and has taken top honors at a number of prestigious art competitions — from relatively humble beginnings.
Born in Kansas, Shaw moved to the Uintah Basin as a boy and grew up on the family farm in Duchesne County. He initially pursued a career in graphic design, working first for the Utah Education Association and then the Jordan School District.
"At some point, that wasn't enough," Shaw said. "I always wanted to be a gallery painter."
So, in the late 1970s he began to study under renowned Utah painters Kathryn Stats and Ken Baxter.
"And Ken, one night, says, 'Hey, I've taught you all I can teach you; go and do it,' " Shaw said. "And a year later I quit my job and I've been doing this ever since."
"This" has involved painting up to 100 works of art each year that range from vivid depictions of Utah landscapes to scenes from the farm life that Shaw knew as a boy to portraits of early leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints like Joseph Smith.
"Church scenes are probably my passion" said Shaw, who served a service mission for the LDS Church painting several works of art that now hang inside some of the faith's temples.
Shaw's commercial pieces are on display in Salt Lake City's Southam Gallery and Park City's Coda Gallery, as well as in galleries in Arizona, California and Oregon. Some of his work was also included in the "Out West: The Great American Landscape" exhibit, which toured China in 2007 and featured the work of seven of Utah's best painters.
At age 87, Shaw said he has yet to paint what he would consider his masterpiece, adding that he learns something new every time he picks up a paint brush.3 comments on this story
"I think one of the most dangerous things for an artist is to become satisfied with what you're doing," Shaw said. "Once that happens, then your progress is gone."
As for his decision to leave the art-friendly Wasatch Front in 1995 to set up his home and studio on a remote hilltop that was once part of the family farm, Shaw has no regrets.
"I consider myself very blessed that I'm out here," he said. "Instead of hearing the airplanes going over, like it was in West Valley City, I can listen to the meadowlarks. That's a pretty good trade up."

Senior Eye Care
By age 65, 1-in-3 Americans have some form of vision-impairing eye disease. Most however do not know it because often there's no warning symptoms or they assume that poor sight is a natural part of growing older. By detecting and treating eye disease early through annual, dilated eye exams, seniors can preserve their sight. Jim Miller, editor of Savvy Senior, a syndicated column for seniors.

Siblings of ill children can often feel ignored.
RIEGELWOOD | Life can be difficult for the brothers and sisters of children with cancer. Their lives are disrupted. They feel overlooked and overshadowed. Their emotional roller coaster careens from fear and sadness to anger, jealousy and guilt.
Mary Kate Knowles of Riegelwood wants to do something about it.
Her granddaughter Carolyn Floyd was 7 when her brother was diagnosed with a form of kidney cancer. Franklin was 2 1/2 in February 2010 when doctors said he had Wilms tumors on both kidneys. The cancer eventually spread to a lung. And he was also plagued by a rare genetic disorder that threatened his kidneys.
Now Carolyn is 10 and Franklin is 5. Franklin had one kidney removed but the other one was saved.
He's been cancer-free for 18 months.
For several years, Carolyn's life was disrupted by her brother's illness. Her parents were always rushing off to the hospital, often in the middle of the night. They tag-teamed when Franklin spent days at a time at UNC Health Care in Chapel Hill, but sometimes both had to be there. Sometimes Carolyn was left in the care of a neighbor.
Knowles retired from her career as a nurse and set up a bedroom in the Holly Springs home. After that, Carolyn was often left in Grandma's care.
Carolyn loves her grandmother but missed being with her parents, said her mom, Rebecca Floyd.
They tried never to miss Carolyn's milestones.
"We haven't missed birthdays," Rebecca said.
But Carolyn didn't always know who would be waiting for her at the school bus stop.
Rebecca was an active volunteer in Carolyn's classroom in first grade. But she stopped coming after Franklin was diagnosed.
For years Carolyn couldn't have playmates over because their sniffles and coughs could pose a real danger to a brother with a weakened immune system.
"The only way she could play was if someone invited her over to their house," Rebecca said.
The community poured out its heart to Franklin.
A local nonprofit gave him a fancy day with a limousine ride to a fire station, a construction site and a concrete plant. Carolyn went also, Rebecca said, but Franklin was the center of attention.
"When you got a 2 1/2 year old cancer patient, he becomes a kind of rock star," Rebecca said.
"It was the attention from mom and dad that Carolyn really craved," Knowles said of her granddaughter.
Carolyn would hug her brother and wrestle in the bed with him during hospital visits. But Rebecca said she could be a difficult child at times, with behavior problems. Sometimes she would express dark thoughts about her little brother.
Knowles felt for Carolyn.
Knowles had participated in fundraising opportunities for cancer causes such as Relay for Life. But she wanted to do something different.
So Knowles decided to throw a party for the siblings of children living with serious diseases.
The event will be March 16 at Lower Cape Fear Hospice and LifeCareCenter. Lorraine Perry, grief counselor and expressive arts therapist, is grateful to Knowles for the idea.
Perry and Marty Hernandez, a children and youth grief counselor, will oversee the event. They work with young people, including siblings of sick children.
Perry said it would be more than just a party.
It will be light and fun, with games and crafts and lunch. But there will also be elements of education and opportunities for expression.
"This is a pretty serious business," she said.
Perry will encourage the youngsters share feelings they have in common. She'd like to see a discussion develop among them.
If it works out, Knowles and Perry both said it could become an annual event, providing what Perry called "a safe place to be honest."

Farmingdale, NY 11735
Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) will be partnering with Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Garden City) and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano in sponsoring a free Senior ID Card Program in Farmingdale.
The program will be held from 1:00 pm- 4:00 pm on Thursday, April 25th at the Farmingdale Public Library, located at 116 Merritts Road in Farmingdale. All Nassau County residents ages 65 and over are eligible to participate and receive a free senior ID card. No appointments are necessary.
The program allows seniors to obtain a free wallet-sized ID card which includes a photo and the holder's personal contact information (name, address, phone number, date of birth) and an emergency contact name and phone number which could be useful to emergency responders.
