China Photos/Getty ImagesIt's been said getting invited to the Delta flight-attendant training center is more difficult than getting into Harvard University.
Making it through flight-attendant training is no picnic either, and flunking out results in not getting hired, Annette Long, a flight attendant with 13 years of experience, tells Business Insider.
During the 2006 Travel Channel show "Flight Attendant School," Frontier's then vice-president of in-flight services and instructor Pam Gardner noted that one in three trainees never make it through Frontier training, either because they drop out or are removed for not maintaining academic requirements or meeting the standards of conduct. Throughout the docu-series, you see students ejected for showing up late to class or failing more than two exams.
"It's pretty stressful, and I think it's designed to be that way," Long says of flight-attendant training.
Here are three things she says most people don't know about flight-attendant training school:

Mike Lynaugh has put together a collection of original Civil War photographs on his website Virtual Civil War.
This collection of Civil War photographs will allow your students to view some excellent photos or provide you with some primary sources to display for conversation starters within the classroom. The collection contains a good variety of photos from pictures of dead soldiers, to the White House and even ones of famous leaders of the Civil War.
Classroom ideas:
- Have your students look at a photo and then reflect on what they are seeing or have them describe the situation. This goes back to having them think like historians.
- Have them create a slideshow of related photos and use Voicethread to share the presentation
- Have them pick a particular image and then research more about the clothing, the battle, or location.
- Play detective (CSI) and see what clues they can find by looking with their magnifying glasses (aka, using the Zoom In feature of your photo editor).
While you are on the Virtual Civil War site, check out Mike's section on Battlefields Today that contains pictures from battlefields across the US including Gettysburg.
So many photos, so little time. 🙂

Homegrown Islanders believe there will be a carry-over from last season's breakthrough success
Since the summer of 2008, when Garth Snow and Charles Wang undertook the project of rebuilding the Islanders from the inside out, there have been halting steps forward. They were usually followed by big steps back, though, and progress was extremely slow.
The patient approach paid some dividends last season, with the Isles' first playoff berth since 2007 and an attention-getting, six-game loss to the heavily favored Penguins in the opening round.
As the Isles prepare to start training camp on Thursday, the core players are eager to get started and keep their modest momentum from last season going. Instead of fighting to be taken seriously, the Islanders will be fighting to maintain what they earned last year.
"We know failure is not an option," Frans Nielsen said. "I think we just built a lot of confidence in the room last year, convincing ourselves that we're good enough to win in this league. I think it's just a different feel of confidence. It's not like we talked about it, but you can see the way everyone talks about the team."
John Tavares was named captain on Monday, the last bit of summer business from Snow and coach Jack Capuano to signify that the Isles' homegrown core is now in charge. Snow locked up defenseman Travis Hamonic to a seven-year, $27-million deal and Josh Bailey to a five-year, $16.5-million contract. The Isles now have nine players under contract through 2015-16, all of whom are currently under 30.
Mark Streit, the biggest free-agent signing of Snow's GM tenure (five years, $20.5 million back in 2007-08), departed for the rival Flyers, and veteran forward Brad Boyes, who played much of the season on Tavares' wing, left for the Florida Panthers. But the rest of the team that broke through for a playoff berth has returned, with the only NHL additions being one-year free agents Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Peter Regin, both forwards.
Snow also traded disgruntled prospect Nino Niederreiter to the Wild for rugged forward Cal Clutterbuck.
That's all, though. Streit's spot on defense is ticketed for Matt Donovan, who led AHL defensemen in scoring last season; prospects Ryan Strome, Anders Lee and Brock Nelson will fight for forward spots, and Kevin Poulin and Anders Nilsson will battle for a goaltending spot alongside Evgeni Nabokov. This is a team that Capuano and Snow are counting upon to improve from within, as it did a season ago.
"We're kind of on our own now," said Nielsen, the most senior of Snow's core at 29. "It's exciting. All the guys who came here the last four to five years, they're all still here and we've gotten better. We want to get going."
In a conversation with Newsday on Monday, Wang indicated that Snow's way -- retaining drafted players and spurning big-ticket free-agent signings -- will continue even as the team has improved. The owner said the Isles were behind his and Snow's time frame for a turnaround.
"When I look at the plans we had, we're a year off. A year behind," Wang said. "We should have had that season [last year] one year earlier. There's no guarantees, but we think we have pretty good ingredients. The direction, the guiding light to where we're going, that hasn't changed. We want to do it economically, we're not going to throw money at this -- we've seen the failures of all the teams that have tried that. We want to set a core, a value system, a culture for a team, a group of guys together, that will last longer.
"I think we've done that and we'll keep doing that."


text: Ok guys, I recently bought my first stang. I have some questions regarding my gauges. Here goes.... 1. My temperature gauge in my orginal cluster doesnt work. How do I restore it? 2. I do have a set of aftermarket VDO gauges circa 1988 or so (was the shyt back in those days). The first gauge is a vacuum gauge. It reads a steady 20 psi on idle. But what is this really for? The secound is an oil pressure gauge which shows the pressure to be about 15 - 20 psi above the stock one in the original cluster. The 3rd is a Transmission temperature gauge. Is it possible that my orginal equipment has been rerouted to the T5's temperature instead of my engine's coolant temperature? What should I do with these gauges? Leave them? How do I fix the coolant temp gauge?

Trooper Charles Cosslett was killed in a motorcycle accident on I-95, near Backlick Road south of I-495, in the Springfield area of Fairfax County.
Trooper Cosslett was responding to a sniper-related shooting call at 1735 hours and driving on the right shoulder around rush hour traffic when a tow-truck veered onto the shoulder from the right lane. The motorcycle struck the tow-truck, killing Trooper Cosslett instantly.
Trooper Cosslett was scheduled to be off the day he was killed but reported to work to help other officers search for a sniper who had killed ten people and wounded another three in the Washington metro area. The shooting call he was responding to turned out to be unfounded. The two suspects in the sniper case were arrested at 0300 hours the next morning near Frederick, Maryland.
Trooper Cosslett was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and had been employed with the Virginia State Police for 16 years. He is survived by his wife, 3-year-old son, and 2-year-old daughter.

179 King Street
Melbourne, VIC 3000
To whoever this may concern,
I am finally back~ d=(´▽`)=b
I was in Vietnam for a while but I am back with this post :)
This time, it's Japanese BBQ! This is actually the first time I've been to a Japanese BBQ restaurant, it is usually Korean BBQ that I go to. I've always had an interest in Japanese BBQ but never had the chance to go so this was something I was really looking forward to!
As all BBQ places, it's not easy on your wallets. The Tori Matsu Course gives you a plate of everything for $29.90. That's a fair amount if you think you can't eat more than one serving of everything on the menu. The 90 minutes all you can eat is the same menu however there is no limit to how much you can order as long as you relatively finish everything you order. This menu is a bit more expensive of course, $36.80 for males and $32.80 for females. They won't kick you out on exactly 90 minutes unless it is really busy, I went when there was hardly anyone so they didn't say anything to me :) I'll go through each dish with the pictures below~
I've seen this BBQ plate in so many Japanese films but it's so exciting to finally to the real thing! :D
The interior looks very authentic and gives off a nice feel to the place. You really feel welcomed by the atmosphere in here.
|Hot Japanese Tea $5
It's a Japanese restaurant so it calls for some Hot Japanese Tea. It was very fragrant but not bitter at all so that was quite enjoyable for me.
The vegetables! Mushrooms, pumpkin, sweet potato, eggplant, cucumber and carrots (yes the last two aren't in the picture, we just ate them as they were). This is kind of expected so I won't make any comments here :)
Okay, first meat dish; squid. Not the best in my opinion. The flavour wasn't that strong and it didn't seem to that fresh to me. We only ordered one serving of this.
Second dish, pork. This one pretty much makes up for the squid's lack of flavour. It was full of juiciness. We really liked this dish so we ordered two of these dishes. Only problem with this dish (for me, maybe not for some of you) is that there was a lot of fat in this but what can you do when they give you pork belly~ ^^ The second dish of this really pushed it for us though.
Third; beef porterhouse. Can't complain, the meat was cut into fine pieces which made it easy to cook and eat. Not as flavoursome as the pork but had enough for this dish. x2 for this dish too!
Fourth; Chicken~ I generally am a big fan of chicken, always yes for chicken. However this one disappointed me. It was difficult to cook, pretty plain to eat and didn't really go well with anything. If this was marinated then it would of been pretty nice but it wasn't, so what can you do? Only one dish of this.
Fifth; Beef tongue. My recommended meat dish. This was beautiful. I can't even put proper words to this. It was the best meat dish and you just need to get down here to try it. x2 for this dish as well.
Salmon Sushi (well it's nigiri but whatever, I'll let them have it).
This is one of the, if not, best salmon nigiri I've had in Melbourne. The rice was not too dry but also not too moist and the salmon was fresh and just simply melted in my mouth. This was actually our second serving, we ordered four of them to start with and then ordered eight for the second serving. Simply loved this.
|Asabiraki Suijin Junmai Okarakuchi Sake $28
We had to top it off with some sake while we were here. They had run out of the cheaper varieties so we opted for this one.
There are well balanced umami, sweetness and richness of Iwate local grown Toyonishiki rice with its super dry crisp finish of SMV (Sake Meter Value) +10.
This sake would be a good supporter to bring
up the flavours of each dish.
As the SMV indicated, it was a very dry sake (higher value means more dry, lower means more sweet). It tasted quite similar to typical vodka if anything. It did however bring out the flavours of our dishes. A nice drink with our bbq indeed.
Wrap Up!
Tori Matsu
The pork, beef porterhouse and beef tongue were all amazing. The chicken and squid not so much. The beauty of this place is, we can choose what we want and only order the things we like. The sushi is absolutely a must get and the sake was a nice compliment to the meal.
For you who are curious to know, our total bill came to $106.60. Around ~$50 each for me and my friend. Yes it is pricey but I think it's a nice treat once in a while.
Food: 7.5/10
Service: 8/10
Price: 7.5/10
Overall: 7.67/10
If you're looking to have some Japanese BBQ and not too fussed with spending a bit more then this is definitely the place to go.
Til the time I crave again.

Koss ESP/950 electrostatic stereophones Page 3
The ESP/950 may, in fact, have been almost too forgiving in the midrange and high end. But again, never in a way which came across as dull or rolled-off. And recording sins, though sometimes more tolerable because of the Kosses' inherent smoothness, were nevertheless laid bare. The recording engineer who decided to throw a ton of artificial reverb over the voices in the new studio recording of The King and I (Philips 438 007-2) should have to spend eternity doing the same for Milli Vanilli: The Comeback Album. The damage was obvious through the ESP/950.
Soundstaging through headphones tends to be a sometime thing, and the newest Koss electrostatic is no exception. There is left, right, and in your head. This appears to be a fact of headphone-listening life. Of the various attempts to eliminate this effect, none, to my knowledge, has been fully effective. Part of the reason for this, of course, is that most stereo recordings have been made to be heard over loudspeakers, which require and create very different listening conditions. Even true binaural recordings (footnote 2), though they can produce a stunning illusion in many respects, and often provide a more believable soundstage through headphones than do conventional stereo recordings, have never provided this listener with a convincing illusion of a front-located performing group over any headphones I've heard. I have never heard as good a soundstage over headphones as I have with loudspeakers. It is no indictment of the Kosses to say that they do at least as well in this respect as any other headphones I have heard, without breaking the headphone-soundstaging barrier.
My reaction to the ESP/950's bottom end was a bit mixed. For the several weeks in which I listened to it as my sole headphone reference, I felt quite satisfied with its sound in this region. There was, on a significant number of recordings, a certain degree of warmth which I found generally unobjectionable. The upside of this was that the Kosses avoided any sense of sounding lean or analytic. If they sacrificed a bit of midbass clarity to achieve this, most listeners will not be at all upset with the result. It was hardly noticed until I compared the ESP/950 with the Stax Lambda Signatures.
The Stax comparison
When Bill Sommerwerck reviewed the SR-Lambda Signature T1 (footnote 3) headphones in Vol.11 No.8 (August 1988), he called them the best headphones around. He found them very revealingperhaps too much so with bad program material for some listeners. My reaction was similar, though I wouldn't go so far as to call them ruthlessly revealing. The Staxes are open, airy, very transparent, and just slightly cool or lean through the bass and midbass, with an extended but not striking lower octave. I understand BS's mild criticism of a certain woolliness to the Signature's bass, but I would not make much of a point of it. I found its definition and clarity through the mid- and upper bass to be finein fact, that was the Lambda Signature's one point of distinct superiority over the Koss ESP/950. The latter was decidedly warmer in sound. Call it fuller and richer if you like this quality, darker and less detailed if you don't. Which is the more accurate? (I'll get to that shortly.)
Suffice it to say here that, with commercial recordings, I was torn between the sound of these two first-rate headphones. The greater warmth in the Kosses was never heavy or oppressive, always musically convincing. Their sound, on a wide range of good to excellent recordings, never failed to make a positive impression. It was never analytical or etched; the midrange was, as I've already stated, gorgeous; and the highs were simply there, neither obvious nor dulled.
The Stax Signatures, with their somewhat leaner, more open textures and airy, extended top end, came across as a bit more analytical than the Kosses, but also more revealing. I had the distinct feeling that the Staxes were telling me more of what was on the recording, but not always to the benefit of my musical pleasure. Still, they sounded very, very good in all the conventional parameters we use to gauge the subjective listening experience. The ESP/950 was not as open or as transparent (though hardly lacking in these qualities), yet in some ways engaged me more in the musical experience. Both headphones were strikingly open through the midrange, the Kosses being a bit more forward and immediate. I could live happily with either, secure in the knowledge that if headphones were my listening medium of choice (footnote 4), I could scarcely do better (footnote 5).
Is it real, or is it...
But which, you ask again, is more accurate? During the final stages of the evaluation period, I had a rare opportunity to sort this out. In November 1992 Stereophile was scheduled to record its next album with pianist Robert Silverman. This time we were doing the recording locally, with Robert Harley as recording engineer. The analog master would be made on our own slightly modified Ampex ATR-100 open-reel machine; the master for the CD release would be made on a DAT, using the Manley D/A converter. The venue had already been selecteda church in Albuquerque with particularly good acoustics.
Footnote 2: In binaural recordinga major topic all by itselfthe mikes are placed the same distance apart as the human ears, with some sort of absorbent barrierpreferably a dummy head, complete with torsoin between. The only right way to record for headphone listening is binaurally. The best source of binaural recordings and information I know of is The Binaural Source (Box 1727, Ross, CA 94957, Fax (415) 457-9052), run by John Sunier of NPR's "Audiophile Audition" program.
Footnote 3: The T1 suffix indicates Stax's top version of this headphone, with their SRM-T1 tube headphone amplifier/interface.
Footnote 4: And I couldn't justify spending $2000 on headphones unless I chose to listen to them often, or domestic circumstances did not allow the use of good loudspeakers at their optimum playback level.
Footnote 5: A brief exposure to the Sennheiser Orpheus (HE/HEV90) headphone system indicated that it, too, is a major contender. While the Stax Signature was unavailable at the time for a direct comparison, the balance of the Orpheus was clearly closer to that of the later-auditioned Staxcool and slightly analytical, but very clean and detailedthan to that of the warmer, sweeter-sounding Kosses. Of course, with the Sennheiser, dedication to headphones is demanded. There's the little matter of their $12,900 price, which does include a tube amp and integral D/A converterthe latter with drop-jaw styling right out of a 1930s Flash Gordon serial.

Backup, System Restore, Trim, On Windows 7 SSD
I recently installed a SSD and after many hours was able to clone my exsisting O.S. to the SSD. My previous main hard Drive was a 300 gig Raptor.
I was able to run a trim program on my SSD, WD IDE 320 gig daily backup drive and a WD 2 TB Data and Weekly Backup Drive. (All Internal)
I also use differant Sata and IDE swap drive bays to store external backups on older hard drives that have not been trimmed with the triming software. All drives were checked with Paragon Alignment and they all show up as green or O.K.
The problem is I cannot get Windows System Restore or Windows Backup to restore my SSD. I keep getting errors about disc size or some other error.
Has anyone been able to restore a SSD using SR?
Has anyone been able to do a complete restore their SSD with Win 7 built in backup?
If so will you tell me what I need to do to get my backup and restore process back up and working?
Thank You Very Much!

LANHAM, Md. (CBSDC) — This Saturday, The Howard Theatre will host the Black Carpet Affair celebrating D.C. native D. Floyd's 30 years of musical contributions on the Go-Go Scene.
A graduate of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Floyd is an accomplished saxophone player who has performed alongside the legendary Chuck Brown and collaborated with Doug E. Fresh, Heavy D. and Redman.
WPGC's DJ Flexx talked to Floyd in anticipation of the anniversary event.
"It's scary that time goes by because unfortunately you can't get it back but, you know, if I had to do it all over again I'd do it exactly the same way," Floyd said.
When asked about the secret to his longevity, Floyd said he has a "love affair with… the greatest beat in the history of the world," meaning Go-Go. "When you find the right partner you stay with them, and this beat has been my partner."
Even though he's a legend himself, Floyd recalls feeling faint during his first performance with the late, great Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown.
"I really had to just slow all the way down and gather myself," he said. "Until the day he died, man, I just had so much respect for pops. And even when he would sit me down and talk to me, it was almost like the voice of God."
In talking about his idols, he said he got his sense of showmanship from those who came before him.
"Everything was a show back then and I just loved it and I just never fell out of love… We've got quite a show planned for Saturday… I'm trying to keep it a surprise but it's very difficult right now."
Hear more of D. Floyd's interview, including his thoughts on the state of Go-Go, here:

After Apple unveiled its new iPad mini tablet, many analyst declared it a winner for consumers looking for a new and portable tablet during this holiday season. However, the announcement hasn't slowed down sales of competitors like Amazon's Kindle Fire HD. Amazon's spokesperson Drew Herdener has stated that Kindle Fire sales are stronger than ever; "Wednesday was the $199 Kindle Fire HD's biggest day of sales since launch and up 3x week over week."
The company failed to provide details and sales numbers, only stating that the Kindle Fire HD its their best-selling product. Amazon's website has been updated to draw comparison between the iPad Mini and the Kindle Fire HD tablet, concluding that the "stunning" display of the new Kindle Fire HD has "30% more pixels" than the iPad Mini, and that Apple's product comes with a simple "standard definition, low-resolution" display.
Amazon is trying to persuade customers to buy their less expensive Kindle Fire, but the iPad mini's high price point hasn't hurt sales; Apple has sold out of iPad's mini initial stock.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Despite pressure from the European Union, Serbia will not impose sanctions against Russia or curb its food exports to that country, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Friday.
After the U.S. and the EU slapped sanctions on Russian state banks and major industries last month over the crisis in Ukraine, Russia responded with a wide-ranging ban on food products imported from those countries.
Serbia, a traditional Russian Slavic ally which is seeking EU membership, is hoping to capitalize on Russia's ban by increasing its food exports and replacing some Western goods on the Russian market.
The EU has warned candidate countries to refrain from exploiting the Russian ban.
Vucic said his government will accept EU's demands not to additionally subsidize those exports to Russia, but will not prevent Serbian companies from making new deals. Serbian officials have said that they hope to increase the food and agricultural exports to Russia from the current $170 million (128 million euros) a year to $300 million (226 million euros).
The EU said Friday it welcomes that "Serbia will not increase the state support for its exports to Russia."
"We welcome the attention the Serbian government pays to this issue and we appreciate the constructive approach as announced by Prime Minister Vucic," the European Commission said in a statement.
Although Serbian officials had said they respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and are against Russia's annexation of Crimea, they told the West that imposing sanctions against Russia would be disastrous for its economy, especially because its energy sector is almost entirely in Gazprom's hands.
"It is Serbia's strategic goal to become a member of the European Union," Vucic told reporters. "At the same time, Serbia did not and will not introduce sanctions against the Russian Federation."
"In the interest of Serbia, we need to maintain friendly relations with Russia," he said.

A MOTHER-OF-SIX last night described how a family friend was knifed in the stomach and lay bleeding on a sofa as her children looked on in horror.
Police launched an attempted murder investigation after Teddy Harrison, 23, was stabbed outside a house in Iffley Road, East Oxford, at about 10pm on Sunday, as a party went on inside.
The householder Melissa Jack said her 10-year-old daughter ran into the house and told her there had been a stabbing on their driveway.
The 32-year-old dragged a bleeding Mr Harrison into her living room and put him on the sofa.
The shaken mum explained how she used a towel to stem the blood seeping from a stab wound under his ribs as she waited for medics to arrive.
Mr Harrison, of Wood Farm, was treated in intensive care on Sunday night, but his condition was last night described as stable.
A 29-year-old man was last night in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Ms Jack said there had been an argument at the house about two and half hours before the stabbing.
She added: "I didn't know what was going on in the garden as I was inside listening to music. I came into the hallway when I heard my daughter.
"I pulled Teddy into the living room and laid him down on the sofa. I used a towel to put on the bleeding and called the ambulance.
"It seems like a dream. He said 'have I been stabbed?' At first I don't think he realised.
"There was loads of blood. I had to keep tapping him and talking to him to make sure he stayed awake.
"He's like a big brother to my kids. We want to see him, but when we do we'll all probably be in tears."
Police and forensic teams arrived at the house, which is opposite the Co-op on the junction with Addison Crescent.
Thames Valley spokesman Christopher Kearney said an arrest had been made near the scene.
Det Insp Simon Morton, of Oxford CID, said the men were alleged to have been arguing prior to the stabbing during a party at the house.
He added: "I would ask anyone who may have seen anything to come forward and speak with us as soon as possible."
Some neighbours who heard the fracas were too terrified to give their names. One said: "I thought it was just a little scrap then we saw police, ambulance and forensic teams. It's scary."
Another added: "The police are called all the time. There are parties there all the time."
A neighbour said: "I didn't hear anything but police ambulances here? That kind of thing is normal anyway."
Anyone with information should contact police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Audi has announced the official production start of the new TT generation at its Hungarian facility and the company believes that the model in question will be even more popular than its predecessor.
The third generation of the Audi TT has just entered production at the company's plant in Hungary. The model in question is instantly recognizable thanks to its strong lines and angles, to its curved roof, new front fascia with the horizontal lines, the single frame grille and several other tweaks.
"The new generation of the Audi TT is the third model that Audi is completely producing in the new car plant at our site in Hungary. The successful model integration on the new production line is an important activity for the GyQr production site: This means that the plant is now operating at full capacity", said the Audi Hungary production director, Gerd Walker.
The 2105 Audi TT is available for order in Germany from 35,000 euros, in the version equipped with the 230 HP (169 kW) and 370 Nm (272 lb-ft) of torque 2.0 liter TFSI engine. The more expensive TT S is also available but from 49,100 euros. This is coming with the 2.0 liter TFSI with 310 HP (228 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque.

American Horror Story is my favorite show and has been since I saw the very episode. I make no secret of this. The first season of American Horror Story was set in a haunted house in California that was known as Murder House. It followed one family's daunting experiences in this twisted house. It also tells the diabolical history that lives in the shadows of this chilling house. Ghosts of the wicked dance across the screen and made this season of American Horror Story utterly unique. That same year I released my second Haunted book, Haunted Chattanooga, in it I go over the dark and terrifying haunted locations in Chattanooga.
The second season of American Horror Story was called Asylum. This season was even more twisted than the first and all you could do was watch in horror as the history of an evil asylum opens up before you. That year my novel, Circe, was released and it chronicled the haunted and twisted history of Searcy State hospital in South Alabama.
This year American Horror Story delves into witchcraft with its third season, Coven. The wicked witches in this season summon the dead, murder each other, and bury my favorite serial killer alive. It is magnificent. This fall, my latest novel is The Accidental Witch, which chronicles a clinical psychologists descent into a world of dark magic and sex after she receives a strange spell book in the mail, was released.
Of course, this is all just lucky coincidence, but it is enough to make me happy. I'm hoping the trend continues, but I doubt it will last another season. Either was I can't wait to see what American Horror Story will bring next!

Very few people showed up for "Just Say No Day," prompting the organizers to question the general attitude of residents concerning drug and alcohol abuse in town, the April 21, 1988 Press reported.
Controversy over the design high school seniors wanted on their class T-shirts was brewing at the high school. The design the seniors chose for their shirt included an illustration that bore a resemblance to a Budweiser beer can, with the slogan, "Class of '88 — King of Classes" — similar to Budweiser's "king of beers".
"We can't have the Ridgefield High School name associated with a product endorsement — especially an alcoholic product," said Principal Elaine Bessette. However, when the seniors decided to stick with the design Bessette said that the T-shirts would not be permitted to be worn in the school and that the class should wait to distribute them after they graduated and were no longer associated with RHS.
Regarding the ban, senior class president Amy Nitzos said, "I think it seems kind of ridiculous that they're trying to control what we wear."
With the town and the police still at an impasse over a new contract, the union agreed to take their differences to binding arbitration. First Selectman Sue Manning said that both sides would present their "last best" offers to a state arbitration panel.
The Board of Finance took decisive action on the 1988-89 budget, unanimously slashing $360,000 from the proposed school budget, and $250,000 from the town budget. The total budget was further reduced by the board's decision to cut $70,000 from debt service. "None of us are happy with the increase in the mill rate or the decrease in the budget, but it is the best compromise that can be reached for the benefit of the entire town," said board Chairman Paul Rosa. Superintendent of Schools David Larson said the Board of Education would accept the financier's recommended cut. Even with the cut, the total school budget was $24.1 million, or a 9.4% increase over the previous budget. "We accept the cut. We had hoped we wouldn't receive as deep a cut as it is, but we understand that it is a difficult year for the community," said Dr. Larson.
Jerome Mugavero of Branchville died at 83. Mr. Mugavero had been a resident for 47 years and was a charter member of the Branchville Civic Association. He was past president of the Italian-American Mutual Aid Society and had served on the Board of Assessors and the Veterans Park School Building Committee. Mr. Mugavero and his brother, Vincent, opened the Ridgefield Tonsorial parlor on Main Street in 1930. In 1950 he opened Jerry Barber Shop on the first floor of the Masonic Lodge building. The business was later taken over by his son-in-law, Michael Pontello.
Gas stations and other commercial establishments were scrambling to meet a Nov. 1 state deadline requiring the replacement of all commercial and municipal fuel tanks that were over 20 years old. Some businesses decided that replacement was not worth the cost. Owners of some Route 7 service stations saw problems with insurance availability and cost because the Norwalk River was so close to the tanks. Kenny Polverari, owner of Ace Tire Co., explained that he did not replace the four gas tanks he had taken out. "We can't afford the liability," said Mr. Polverari referring to the cost for insurance. "With all the environmental laws, I don't think you can get it."

While cultural differences exists, the dilemma facing any graduate (high school or otherwise) is universal. Where do you go? What's the next step? Are their prospects for all you have learned, or will life once again show you that spinning your wheels can be (and ultimately is) a serviceable career option. Of course, in the West we take our educational advance as rote. We believe that a degree equals the dream. In other countries, however, parents fret over offspring, pushing and pressuring them as part of an unusual combination of social status and retirement plan. In India, specifically, the drive to be number one often outshines a child's abilities or acumen. Instead, the demand for a good job and an even better position in life are all that's important. Oddly enough, the country's media has shied away from any critical complaint about this tradition - until now. The film, 3 Idiots, broke down barriers within the nation, becoming one of its most successful movies of all time. After sifting through its 164 minutes of merriment, it's easy to see why.
The Plot:
Along the way, we learn about each student's secret desires. Farhan would rather be a wildlife photographer, but his domineering dad refuses to hear such nonsense. Raju is embarrassed by his family's poverty and desperately wants to please (and provide support for) them. Chatur just wants to be number one. Rancho, on the other hand, is an enigma. Vehemently opposed to rote memorization and yet consistently the top student in the class, he drives both his roommates and his instructors - including Virus - to distraction. So naturally he falls in love with said teacher's daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor).
The DVD:
From there on, it's up to the actors to win us over, and Hirani has picked some prime examples. For their part, Madhavan and Joshi have the harder roles. They must be decent without being doormats, capable of their own identity without melding into Rancho's often ridiculous schemes. Of the two, the latter really stands out, especially when his plotline if given a pair of potentially deadly denouements. As villains, Vaidya and Irani barely avoid the moustache twirling tendencies of such old school baddies. Luckily, Hirani gives them slapstick quirks (clueless confusion and farting, a lisp and a love of powernaps, respectively) to avoid the slip into stereotypes. Kapoor is a real force to be reckoned with, since she is a medical student/doctor, an almost established professional that can't be played with. Her relationship with a materialistic "ass" is one of 3 Idiots best subplots. That just leaves Bollywood superstar Khan to redeem Rancho - and boy does he ever. While Americans would have no problem with his "follow your bliss/all is well" mantra, he represents a rebellious rogue to the average Indian. Rancho doesn't believe in the soulless assembly line state of his peer group's post-adolescence. Instead, he wants to buck tradition, and the actor does so with cool and compassion to spare.
As it motors along, the length allowing all manner of interesting sidelines and subplots to emerge, 3 Idiots remains steadfastly a film about bonding. It argues that, without each other, Farham, Raju, and Rancho would never have survived ICE. It clings to the arcane notion that relationships forged in youth remain hard and fast even decades later. It drops in diversions (a baby's birth during a flood, a medical emergency, a suicide, a question of true identity) to see how our trio reacts. The title might suggest stupidity, but the meaning goes deeper than just "being dumb." According to the film, India sees all students from second place downward as "losers," or idiots. Virus is specifically harsh on the students, suggesting the fatal way out of their eventual familial embarrassment and shame. All throughout the movie, Rancho suggests that success follows those who truly pursue their desires. While a tad simplistic, it makes for a meaningful last act when Chatur is trying desperately to one up his reclusive rival. Some may view 3 Idiots as overstuffed and underplayed. In fact, it's one of the most satisfying, smile inducing experiences in a long time.

Energy giant Encana, B.C. accused of skirting water laws for fracking
Environmental groups demands judge review whether short-term licences are breaking Water Act. (FILE PHOTO)
Energy giant Encana and the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission were in court Monday after environmental groups launched a lawsuit accusing them of violating the province's Water Act.
The Wilderness Committee and Sierra Club of B.C. argued Victoria is skirting its water protection laws by granting repeated short-term licences to the same companies to use water for gas fracking.
Encana spokesman spokesman Jay Averill told 24 hours the company opposed the judicial review case because there's "no proper basis to quash the subject approvals" of its water licences under the Water Act. In addition, the Calgary-based company was granted permits through the commission's "full application process in accordance with the applicable statutory requirements."
"Encana responsibly uses water in a number of ways to produce natural gas and oil in which all British Columbians rely," Averill said in a statement. "Encana is open to discussions about water use and we continuously consult with First Nations groups, local communities, landowners and other stakeholders to determine sources of water that we can use in our operations."
The disputed section of the Water Act states that "if diversion or use of water is required for a term not exceeding 24 months," the government may grant a short-term permit "without issuing a licence, grant an approval in writing, approving the diversion or use, or both, of the water."
In the case's opening arguments, a lawyer representing both environmental organizations said that short-term approvals are not the proper process for long-term industrial water use, and that it lacks accountability or public input.
"This case is about ensuring that when government, in this case the Oil and Gas Commission, allocates those rights it does so within the law," EcoJustice lawyer Karen Campbell told the court.
"By granting repeated short-term approvals, the commission is authorizing water use for more than one term, and more than the 24-month limit set out in the section – short-term approvals are routinely granted over multiple years to the same company, for the same purposes, at the same locations."
The B.C. OGC declined to comment as the case is before the courts.

Subject: Neuenschwander/Stauffer
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 1998 18:43:02 -0500
Today I was talking to a colleague whose name is Neuenschwander. He says he
has a family Bible which was printed in Switzerland in the 1700s. His
family genealogy is listed. I asked if I could take a look and post
information on genealogy lists, he agreed. If anyone is particularly
interested, let me know. I'll make a point of encouraging him to bring in
the Bible soon.
Also, does anyone know the family line fo Magdalene Stauffer, who married
Chirsitna Neuenschwander, who was born 1682 or 1683? My direct Stauffer
line was from Eggiwyl, Bern, Switzerland.

It's spring, time to throw your kid outside
Games you can play with your toddler
My son recently turned two and is all about playing games now. It's a great change of pace from the days of "eat, sleep, poop, cry and repeat". He, like all toddlers is a rambunctious ball of energy. It seems like each day there is a new game he would like to play. So I […]

Is your child on track?
Your child learning to crawl is creepy
The chatter starts almost directly after the umbilical cord is cut. "He'll be crawling before you know it" and "he should be walking anytime now". This of course is not true. There are many months in the beginning where your baby sits perfectly still and simply cries every time it want's to move (this is known and the lug-around phase). Still something begins to […]
Stop talking about your damn kids
Just like ruined furniture, shot nerves and clothes that no longer fit, every parent has a ton of stories about their child. If you don't have kids, these stories aren't for you. In fact, this blog probably isn't either. Feel free to stop reading anytime and go back to YouTube. Before I had a child […]

Happy new year, lovelies! Out with the old, in with the new! (I wish I could say that about my cold.) Here's the latest from bareMinerals—the Remix Collection which is available this month in stores. This post is pretty image and detail heavy, so let's get to it!
The Remix Collection
The breakdown…
The Remix Collection includes:
- bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow 4.0 — The Next Big Thing, The Wild Thing
- bareMinerals Round The Clock Waterproof Eyeliner — Midnight (not pictured)
- Flawless Definition Mascara — Aqua Blast, Black
- bareMinerals READY Blush — The Natural High
- bareMinerals Bronzing Mineral Veil Finishing Powder SPF 25
- Secret Radiance All-Over Face Color
- Loud & Clear Lip Sheer — Amped Pink, Tangerine Trance, Berry Remix
See more photos, swatches, and product details…
The Remix Collection
The Remix Collection aqua-sheen packaging
Remix features some limited-edition packaging, it's this really cool aqua-sheen finish.
The Wild Thing READY Eyeshadow 4.0
The Wild Thing READY Eyeshadow 4.0 — (top) Sensational, Icon, (bottom) Elitist, Controversy
Sensational, Icon, Elitist, Controversy
Shades: Sensational — iridescent aqua, Elitist — bronzed taupe, Icon — electric chartreuse, Controversy — deep marine blue
The Next Big Thing READY Eyeshadow 4.0
The Next Big Thing READY Eyeshadow 4.0 — (top) Rising Star, Smash Hit, (bottom) Hoopla, Ensemble
Rising Star, Smash Hit, Hoopla, Ensemble
Shades: Rising Star — sunlit gold, Hoopla — glowing copper, Smash Hit — vibrant peach, Ensemble — smoky plum
Flawless Definition Mascara in Aqua Blast
Black, Aqua Blast
For the eyes, both READY Eyeshadow 4.0 quads are pretty stunning—I'd say the worst part about them, is trying to decide whether it's The Wild Thing, or The Next Big Thing that makes its way home with you! Both READY palettes are the exceptional quality I've become accustomed to in the bareMinerals READY lineup; the shades are pigmented beautifully, and the quality of the product is there—with the eyeshadows soft and velvety to the touch, and they glide across the skin without any skipping or tugging. There's a certain creaminess to the READY shades that I don't get with any other pressed shadows, that I think you'll need to feel the texture of them to truly appreciate!
For the Flawless Definition Mascara, the limited edition packaging brings us the original black shade option, in addition to a fun shade—Aqua Blast. This shade doesn't show up as bright as I would like on my lashes, but it still shows up—even if it's ever so slight. In terms of volume, I don't think this mascara is the best choice, but as the name implies, if it's clean definition you're after, this is a good choice. I recommend using your favorite regular mascara first (to get your lashes the way you wish), then use the Aqua Blast to tip the lashes with the aqua tint.
Loud & Clear Lip Sheers
Amped Pink, Tangerine Trance, Berry Remix
Amped Pink, Tangerine Trance, Berry Remix
As a lip balm addict, the Loud & Clear Lip Sheers are probably what I was most excited about. These have a translucent gel base with hydrating jojoba oil and shea butter, and a very sheer tint of color. There's a very slight citrus scent to them out of the tube, but after I've applied them, I can't really detect much. They do glide across the lips with ease, and feel very comforting, but I felt like something was missing. Maybe a little more tint? Great for moisture and a hint of color—and I think Berry Remix shows up the most of the three shades available.
The Natural High READY Blush
The Natural High READY Blush
The Natural High READY Blush, NARS Orgasm Blush
This shade of READY Blush (The Natural High) is a phenomenal dupe for NARS Orgasm, but I actually find the quality of the bareMinerals shade much better in terms of smooth application and overall product pigmentation. This golden peachy-pink will wind up an instant favorite of many people, once they see how flattering it truly is! I highly recommend this as a purchase choice.
Secret Radiance All-Over Face Color
Secret Radiance is a golden, candlelit-sheen all-over face color. Great for using just about anywhere, but my favorite thing to do with most bareMinerals All-Over Face Colors, is to use them as highlighters or luminizers. As in the swatches below, this is a sheer, warm golden pearl shade, and a little really does go a long way. Try applying it to only the high points of the face after you're finished with all of your makeup, for a candlelit glow.
Bronzing Mineral Veil
Bronzing Mineral Veil is an easy way to add a translucent finish, with some color! This delivers a punch more color to the finish than the traditional Tinted Mineral Veil, and offers the skin-protection benefits of an SPF 25. For me, it's a tad early for a product like this, but it's something I'll reach for a little closer to mid-spring.
Bronzing Mineral Veil, Secret Radiance All-Over Face Color, The Natural High READY Blush
Bottom Line…
What a gorgeous collection to take some of the chill out of dark winter looks! If I had to pick key items to recommend, it would definitely be one of the READY Eyeshadow 4.0 quads, or the READY Blush in The Natural High.
Price & Availability…
READY Eyeshadow 4.0—$30 each, Round The Clock Eyeliner—$15, Flawless Definition Mascara—$18 each, READY Blush—$22, Bronzing Mineral Veil—$20, Secret Radiance All-Over Face Color—$19, Loud & Clear Lip Sheer—$15 each; bareMinerals.com, Nordstrom, ULTA, Macy's, and Dillard's.

Earlier today, NSBA unveiled the results of its Small Business Congress priority vote, establishing a small-business agenda for the 113th Congress. The voting follows last week's Small Business Congress in Washington, D.C. where members heard from myriad policy experts and debated more than 30 different issues facing small business.
"Despite the many challenges facing America's small-business owners—the deficit, economic uncertainty, ever-growing tax and regulatory burdens—we have crafted an aggressive small-business agenda," stated Todd McCracken NSBA president and CEO. "We will be looking for that widespread support of small business that was touted during the elections as we set forth on our agenda."
NSBA's Top 10 Priorities are:
At the beginning of each new session of Congress, NSBA brings its members together at the Small Business Congress to discuss the issues and craft an agenda for the coming two years. This gives NSBA's members the opportunity to bring new issues to the table as well as further debate and develop previous priorities.
"NSBA is a uniquely member-driven organization, and, through this voting process, our members have crafted a small-business agenda that truly reflects what small business owners need," stated NSBA Chair Chris Holman, CEO of Michigan Business Network.com and President of The Greater Lansing Business Monthly. "Clearly, there is nothing that weighs more heavily on small business than the deficit and tax reform."
Please stay tuned to NSBA's website for more detailed information on the priorities for the 113th Congress

TOKYO, May 14 (UPI) -- Japanese electronics giant Sony Corp. reported a loss of $1 billion for its fiscal year ending in March and said it did not expect a turnaround this year.
Sony said it expected its first annual loss in 14 years would be followed by more losses in fiscal year 2009, which began April 1, Kyodo news agency reported Thursday.
The year just ended included a prolonged sales slump, as European and U.S. economies spent 2008 in a steep recession. Like many Japanese firms, most of Sony's business relies on exports.
The year was a sharp reversal of fortunes. At the end of fiscal year 2007, Sony reported a profit of $3.8 billion.
Sony said sales dropped 12.9 percent compared to a year ago, as consumers retreated from spending.
To trim losses, Sony said it would cut 16,000 jobs in 2009 and close three factories, Kyodo said.

Procter & Gamble Co. has an eye-opening marketing campaign ready with Macy's Inc. to pitch Downy fabric softener for Americans who don't get enough sleep.
The consumer products maker will promote Downy as sleep aid with a seven-day live window display featuring comedian Mike Birbiglia (Bir-BIG-lee-uh) at Macy's New York Herald Square store. He is known for routines that focus on his sleepwalking problem.
P&G says it woke up to new possibilities for the 50-year-old brand during a Downy campaign last year, as consumers talked about looking forward to sleeping better after "clean sheet day."
P&G funded a study by the nonprofit National Sleep Foundation that concluded that a majority of people say clean, fresh-scented sheets help their sleep.
P&G is based in Cincinnati.

The Chupacabra is So Gonna Get You in IndigenousYou've seen a billion movies with aliens, millions with Bigfoot, and thousands with mutant reptile movies, but you've probably only seen a handful of non-Syfy movies about the legendary cryptid so often confused for dying animals with the mange. Alastair Orr's indie Indigenous is looking to give the disgusting beast more time in the spotlight when it premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, and this festival trailer could use that light to brighten up the dark, dangerous jungle that our stereotypical cast of traveling Americans are stuck in.
Vacationing in Panama, this fivesome makes friends with a mysterious woman in a bar who takes them out to a secluded area of the jungle near beautiful waterfalls. Wouldn't you know it, the woman goes missing and the friends are soon being hunted by one of the most horrifying looking creatures that comes to mind. I mean seriously, there's only the slightest chance that this movie is going to look or feel different from a ton of other "stalked in the woods" movies – though Orr was thankfully wise enough to keep this out of the found footage genre – but this freaky ass Chupacabra makeup/costume will no doubt live on after the film does. Maybe he and ChromeSkull from the Laid to Rest movies can team up.

Microsoft's Bing search web site has always had a new and colorful photo every day on its front page, as opposed to the all white background for Google's front page. Today, users of HTML5-based web browsers who surf over to Bing.com will see something different. Instead of a static image, the front page now has a background that runs a time-lapsed video showing several hours of a rural mountain horizon.
Microsoft's Bing blog site states that non-HTML5 web browsers will see a static image on the front page when Microsoft puts in a video. The HTML5 video page can only be seen by US web surfers for some reason but Microsoft plans to open up the video page to other parts of the world in the next few months. There's also another video on the blog page that goes into a little more detail about how the Bing team at Microsoft picks which images and videos they decide to feature on the front page. There won't be a new video every day on Bing.com. Microsoft says it will post a new video on the front page "just when the mood strikes us."
Bing's market share is growing in the search business but as we reported earlier this week, it has a long way to go before it can make a significant dent in Google's search business. Bing has so far lost $5.5 billion for Microsoft since the web site launched back in 2009 and it doesn't look like it will be making money anytime soon, if ever.

Interplayers faces financial crunch
Wed., April 10, 2013
New season slate needs $150,000 to go forward
Interplayers Theatre announced its 2013-14 season Tuesday night, with a significant hitch: The nonprofit professional theater company must raise $150,000 by May 31 or else it will shut its doors.
Artistic director Reed McColm told supporters the company has been on an upswing in recent years. As of a year ago, Interplayers is debt-free, he said. There is a new roof and a new lobby, and new programs such as the Interludes concerts are bringing in audiences who otherwise wouldn't come to the theater.
"Creatively, we are in an upswing," he said. "I believe we can go further still."
The 33-year-old theater has struggled financially for several years. Last year, arts patrons Jerry and Patty Dicker bought out the mortgage on Interplayers' building at 174 S. Howard St., leasing it back to the theater company. That allowed Interplayers to stage this most recent season.
Still, the financial situation is precarious. The company spends $20,000 a month, beyond the costs of producing plays, to keep the doors open. And members of the executive team, McColm included, have not been paid in several months.
"We have no cushion," McColm said.
Interplayers is selling subscriptions to the 2013-14 season but will not process orders until June 1, so if the theater closes patrons will not lose their money.
The season McColm hopes to stage is a combination of classics and some edgier fare. The eight plays are:
• "Brighton Beach Memoirs" by Neil Simon, directed by Michael Weaver, Sept. 5-29.
• "Never the Sinner" by John Logan, directed by Ken Urso, Oct. 24-Nov. 9.
• "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, directed by and adapted for a six-person cast by McColm, Dec. 5-29.
• "Good People" by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Jack Bentz, Jan. 23-Feb. 8.
• "Barrymore" by William Luce, directed by Mary Starkey and starring Patrick Treadway, Feb. 27-March 15.
• "Wait Until Dark" by Frederick Knott, April 3-19.
• "Putting it Together," a Stephen Sondheim musical revue, directed by Weaver, May 8-June 1.
• "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, directed by Jeff Sanders and done in collaboration with Eastern Washington University, July 17-27.
