(6) The Board shall notify an applicant promptly in writing whether or not his/her apprentice application has been approved. The initial written notification may be in electronic form. If the Board approves the application, the Board shall issue to the applicant an apprentice's certificate, and such certificate shall include the applicant's apprenticeship supervisor and the date on which the period of training and experience referred to in M.G.L. c. 112, § 198 shall begin.

Rev. Abraham Singer's widow, Margaret died 1864, Pa.
Christian Advocate and Journal, Aug.18, 1864.
MARGARET SINGER, widow ofREV. ABRAHAM SINGER, died June 15, at the residence of Rev. A.Vanfossen, in Petersburgh, Pa., aged 73. She was early the subject of the enlightening spirit, but not till she was 19 years old, when her mother died, was she fully awakened to a sense of her lost condition. She joined the Methodist Church in Strasburg, Pa., in 1820 and from that period fully exemplified the power of divine grace to make its subject pure and happy. Her house was ever open to the intinerant. Her health for years had been delicate and for the last few months she was confined to her room and bed; but there, as when in the santuary , God was her light, salvation and joy. As she neared the goal not a cloud arose to obscure her vision of bliss; all was brightness, calmness ,triumph.

text: Just picked up a Briareus from Tom. Acclimated for 3 hours before adding him to an empty 40 gallon tank (will move to a large tank when ready). Tom shipped him with a cup that had a bunch of holes drilled in it. The octo has NOT let go of the cup since being placed in the tank, even overnight. When I went to check on him in the middle of the night with my little flashlight, he actually pulled the cup with him around the tank. Only other tank inhabitants are small hermits, and one 3" crab (no idea on species, just sort of a big regular crab). He did take a piece of fresh shrimp after being in the tank a few hours yesterday. Will post pics later today.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FANATICS! http://youtu.be/rpXBptw8ZGQ
anyone know how student holiday break tickets work? It says online they're available for students for $5 but I cant find a link to purchase anywhere.
I think the deadline to purchase them by was quite a few weeks ago prior to Thanksgiving break. Not 100% sure though.
Sold out.
Finally, the long and nightmarish wait is over!
Packed to the rafters for the game.
I would be surprised if we beat them by less than twenty-five points. :smile:
Amen to that. Hilton withdrawal is giving me the shakes.
I blame CW for me selling me tickets
Note to anyone wanting tickets for the rest of the year, Get them now because prices will only go up as the year goes on. We will be in the running for the Big 12 Championship.
After trailing by 10 at the half.
Saw the team last night eating at Fuji. Tried to get my daughter, celebrating her 19th birthday and also a freshman at Iowa, to get a group picture with them, but she refused. Great group of guys though!!
Can't wait until Daveon Balls checks in for NIU...show him some love CyclONEnation. With that name he deserves it.
<Insert Balls joke here>
I request biggest balls song chant breaks out!
So will there be a stream for this game?
Cyclones.tv - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - www.CYCLONES.com - The home of Iowa State Cyclone Sports
Any weather update? Seems to change daily. Hoping this one shifts north a bit.
Instead of buying tickets to KC for the championship my wife and I decided to go to Vegas and watch it out there. Let's hope we make some money.

Man 'performs sex act on plane before trying to open exit door'
AIRLINE passengers were left shaken after a man allegedly performed a sex act in his seat before trying to open an exit door mid-flight.
The bizarre incident occurred aboard a Virgin America flight with police claiming the man experienced a "psychotic episode" shortly after take-off.
The plane's pilot was forced to land the LA-bound plane in Nebraska so the man, who was described as being "visibly upset", could be taken off the plane.
Witnesses said they saw him pleasuring himself and when members of the cabin crew tried to speak to him the man tried to open an exit door.
Fellow passenger Sam Slater said: "He asked if he could use the restroom, he had been mumbling about not trying to be violent and saying 'I don't want to be a violent person'."
"He asked if he could use the restroom, he had been mumbling about not trying to be violent and saying 'I don't want to be a violent person'"Passenger Sam Slater
Paul Bernon, who was flying with Mr Slater, added: "When he came out of the bathroom, he sat back down.
"He was arguing with the woman next to him, said he didn't want to sit next to her.
"He got back up, told the attendant he wanted her to move, and at that point they paged to see if there was a doctor on board."
Two police officers on the flight managed to restrain the man until the plane touched down at Eppley Airfield in Omaha.
The man was pictured being led away to hospital for observation by the authorities.
"Virgin American flight VX363, carrying 108 passengers diverted to Omaha this morning due to a medical incident involving a guest on board," the company said in a statement.
"Out of respect for the privacy of the guest, we aren't able to comment further."

Wild Child : Growing Up in the Counterculture Paperback

Tofu casserole, communes, anti-war protests. these are just a few of the hallmarks of a hippie childhood.

The 16 contributors to the book set out to capture the spirit of a social movement that pledged its daughters the most revolutionary gift: freedom.
But how could a young girl rebel against parents who made a profession of rebellion?

Review by satyridae
Like all collections, this one was a little spotty. On balance I adored it and the way it evoked my childhood, at least in parts. I thought Cain's piece was great, it was my favorite. Her name on the cover is what led me to pick the book up.

I enjoyed seeing how these women, most of 'em born within 10 years of me, felt about their childhoods from the perspective of grown women. I'd like to see a follow-up, as this came out in 1999.

Why The Supreme Court's Ruling On Criminal Defamation Is An Insult To Free Speech
The judgement of the Supreme Court in Subramanian Swamy v. Union of India conferred an overarching interpretation on the law of defamation, undermining free speech and rendering the law vulnerable to abuse. The court has upheld the constitutionality of criminal defamation, overlooking its historical background and the contemporary challenges to its application. Justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C. Pant held that defamation is a reasonable restriction to the freedom of speech, and that imprisonment is a proportionate consequence of a deviation.

Calcutta, May 24: Shiv Sundar Das was today named captain of the India A squad for the tour of England beginning June 22. Hemang Badani will be his deputy.
In a significant move, Sandeep Patil was rewarded for guiding rank outsiders Kenya to the World Cup semi-finals two months ago. The explosive former India batter recently returned home after a four-year stint with Kenya.
Patil replaces Ashok Malhotra, who was in charge of the squad that visited the Caribbean earlier this year.
Announcing the 16-member party for the six-week trip, BCCI secretary S.K. Nair said the choice of the Orissa opener as skipper was unanimous. All five wise men chairman Brijesh Patel, Kirti Azad, Sanjay Jagdale, Pranab Roy and Kiran More were present at the two-and-a-half-hour long meeting.
The 25-year-old Das played all his 23 Test matches at a stretch, the last one being in the West Indies a year ago. He has been in the squad ever since, but didnt make the XI.
Parthiv Patel is the only stumper in the XVI. The selectors felt there was no need for a second wicketkeeper for the six-week tour, Nair said.
India coach John Wright had specifically asked for the inclusion of Das and Patel while interacting with the selectors.
Rohan Gavaskar made the cut. Having missed out on an India A slot for the tour of the West Indies, this will be another huge opportunity for the Bengal captain to impress and stake claims for a senior India berth.
There are seven men in the current A squad who had been to the Caribbean as well Badani, Gautam Gambhir, A.T. Rayudu, Avishkar Salvi, L. Balaji, Murali Kartik and Amit Mishra.
Satyajit Parab got his maiden call-up at this level. He is among nine batsmen in the party. There are four pace-ball operators Avishkar Salvi, L. Balaji, Irfan Pathan (Junior) and Amit Bhandari and two spinners (Murli Kartik and Amit Mishra).
The squad will attend a preparatory camp from June 1 to 18 in Bangalore where Patil and Wright will both be working with the 16 players. The India coach will be at the NCA during that period.
Shiv Sundar Das (captain, Orissa), Hemang Badani (vice-captain, Tamil Nadu), Wasim Jaffer (Mumbai), Gautam Gambhir (Delhi), Satyajit Parab (Baroda), S. Sriram (TN), A.T. Rayudu (Hyderabad), Rohan Gavaskar (Bengal), Vijay Bharadwaj (Karnataka), L. Balaji (TN), Avishkar Salvi (Mumbai), Irfan Pathan Jr (Baroda), Amit Bhandari (Delhi), Murli Kartik (Railways), Parthiv Patel (wicketkeeper, Gujarat), Amit Mishra (Haryana). Coach: Sandeep Patil.

"They're very attentive. They stuck to their timeline and stuck to what they said. "
Review for Rainier Collision Inc
Dawn J. on 12/08/2011
Dawn said she's still satisfied with the overall experience but it ended up being about 2 or 3 days longer to get her vehicle back. The reason for the delay had to do with a part lost somewhere on a truck. She didn't elaborate on the type of part. Also, she was the one who initiated the calls to see what was happening. Overall, she likes the outcome of the wonderful work done on her vehicle.

Oshawa, Canada (PressExposure) May 17, 2013 -- Signs are one of the biggest and most important components of many homes and businesses, as well as public infrastructure like roads directions and areas with special requirements. Since its founding in 1948, Mechanical Advertising has been providing customers with some of the finest in sign-related products. Now, customers ranging from individual households to major Government groups and projects can order custom signs in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs.
There are many different situations where simply hanging up a sign can make things easier on everyone. Rarely is this more apparent than in times like emergencies where roads may need to be closed or people routed onto particular paths and away from dangerous zones. Placing safety signs along the path can help guide others to safety while explaining the situation as concisely as possible. However, regulation is an important consideration for businesses and government groups (such as police forces), so stocking a variety of signs to use, based on the situation and applicable laws, can help ensure that all notices posted by any government worker are true and accurate, making them much more useful for the situation.
Custom traffic signs can be useful for towns, Governments, or particularly complicated street areas. Mechanical Advertising is proud to be able to replicate street designs onto a variety of materials for both indoor and outdoor use, helping to solve issues like congestion or unusual road designs that drivers need to be informed of. Custom street signs can be printed on demand for when roads are named (or renamed) or have routes changed for major construction.
Other custom safety signs are more specialized. For example, a deaf or blind child in the area may find it harder to avoid oncoming vehicles if they're playing in the road or otherwise enjoying themselves, so a sign warning drivers to be cautious can help protect children who are more vulnerable than most.
Custom signs can be made with a variety of designs and materials. While metals such as steel and aluminum are the most popular, especially for traffic signs, other products like wood, vinyl, and coroplast are also available depending on the specifics of the sign and where it will be used. Reflective coatings are available depending on the use of the sign, and all regulations on how reflective signs may be are strictly adhered to. Signs can also be printed with specific business branding, making them ideal for placing on reserved parking lots, along roads leading to the business, or in other areas where making a mark as a business is considered important.
From metal traffic signs to custom-printed street signs designed for specialist applications, Mechanical Advertising is proud to offer custom sign printing services (along with help on the design) to everyone who needs them.
About Mechanical Advertising:
Formed in 1948, Mechanical Advertising has grown to become one of Canada's leading providers for signs of many shapes and sizes. Customers range from Government to towns, businesses, retail locations, and private individuals, all of whom are looking for signs that can stand up to the intended use and last for as long as possible.

Last Day...Boring...
Niagara Falls Travel Blog› entry 5 of 6 › view all entries
And apparently my uncle left the van keys in our room last night, and woke us up this morning!, so I shoulda went for a ride with them to Toronto, because their real fun people to be around..Because I ended up not being able to go back to sleep...and I really wanted to see the CN tower, and shop and explore Toronto! So got ready, had breakfast at Denny's, we went on this simulated rollercoaster, went exploring, souvenir shopping. Other than the falls, Niagara was kinda boring after the fun people left...we shoulda spent the day in Toronto, and stayed at a hotel there too, so we didn't have to wake up early for the airport the next day... I also wouldn't have minded going to go Buffalo, New York to shop, but the taxi cost to much, so that sucked lol. But one plus about this day, was I actually walked up to the falls, to get a closer look, and take some pictures, of course I only got 2 good pictures and a short video clip before my camera died! lol. Tried to sleep, but couldn't because I didn't want to leave! It wasn't a long sleep either, only a couple hours, because I had to be up early, to get into Toronto. A regret I have is not seeing Toronto or Buffalo. Don't you just hate it when your actually in the city/ or right by a place, but you don't get to look around or do anything! Soo close yet far away... Bugs me! lol Oh well, someday I'll get back!

A few terrible mid-week vacation days behind (food poisoning or allergic reaction (?) after eating scallops for lunch on Monday...) wanting to ride but totally uncapable of doing so (and ending up envying TCC buddies who went on a nice long ride Wednesday), I finally could muster the strength to go out riding with my youngest daughter now back...our first ride together on real road racers! Still clipless but already starting to look menacing in the mountains....
On the Tamasai, a familiar-looking bearded elderly guy on a Trek Madone 6.9 passed us. Near the end, he stopped and took off his helmet...here was Haruka Takachiho himself !
We went as far as the little bakery at height 583m on Hinohara Hwy for a 110km-long ride (my daughter's first ride on a road racer...). Great was her disappointment and even greater her exhaustion after learning the bakery was closed today. Inside the bakery, however, light was on and my daughter peeked inside...the bakery was full with goodies! We caught the attention of the friendly bakery lady who was busy kneading dough and begged her to sell us a few pieces...pumpkin, carrot and figs. That really made the day for my daughter!
On our way back, the first raindrops started to fall once we passed Itsukaichi and just before a spot called 雨間 Amema (where else ?!), we got caught in a real downpour. A conbini nearby provided shelter and here we met Take-san of Hoshino-san's team PianoPiano. Sure Take-san knew of Tictac-san. The rain wouldn't stop though and we rode on direction Mutsumibashi...my daughter crying out loud..."those raindrops hurt!" It was raining harder again but fortunately not for too long. Once on the Tamasai, the road was cork dry again. I showed my daughter how to drain rain accumulated inside the frame and she was surprised to see the amount of water flow out of the little drainage holes.

LEO BERGER (Solothurn, Switzerland 1885 – Pieterlen, Switzerland 1983)
A Figure Skater Believed to be Gillis Grafström
signed L. Berger and stamped Guss V. Pirner & Franz, Dresden. on the base
bronze, chocolate brown patina, mounted on a black marble base with white veins
height: 24¾ inches (62.8 cm.) excluding marble plinth
Private Collection, New England
Leo (also called Léon) Berger was initially apprenticed as a stonemason in Solothurn. He then trained as a sculptor at the École des Arts Industriels in Geneva followed by the academies of Florence, Rome and Berlin. He also spent quite a bit of time visiting Paris. From 1919 to 1927 he maintained studios in Dresden and Solothurn. In 1928 he moved to Zurich and after 1950 to Montagnola until 1966. Later he was in Massagno and lastly Losdorf.[1]
Berger worked in bronze, marble, granite, wood and terra cotta. His typical subjects were portraits, nudes, allegorical figures and genre. He also executed monuments which can be found in Manegg, Olten and Solothurn. Other works are in the museums of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Selzach and Zurich. The influence of Auguste Rodin is notable in a number of his works.[2]
The first Olympic Games after World War I were held in Antwerp in 1920. Gillis Grafström (1893-1938) was a young Swedish figure skater participating in the games for the first time. During the course of the trials he broke a skate. Forced to go into town for a replacement, he could only find a pair of antiquated curly-toed skates. In desperate need of a new blade he reground and adjusted the old-fashioned skate to the best of his ability and strapped it onto his boot. Astonishingly, despite this handicap, he won the gold medal. In 1924 and 1928 he again won Olympic gold medals as well as the World Championships of 1922, 1924 and 1929. He was regarded by his contemporaries as one of the greatest skaters of all time.[3] T. D. Richardson, the august English skating expert wrote Grafström's "personality combine[d] the greatest knowledge of the art of skating possessed by any living soul, with a rare intelligence, intense artistic feeling, perfection of technique and supreme athletic achievement.[4] Grafström's home was in Potsdam where he worked as an architect as well as a painter and sculptor.[5]
Berger's figure dressed in wool cap, tightly wound scarf, tunic, trousers, high socks and boots, gracefully glides forth with his arms extended for balance. The skating attire is that of the 1920s. The features of the figure could easily be those of Grafström, particularly the long straight nose. Although the title of the work is unrecorded, evidence for the sitter's identity lies most strongly in the fashioning of his skates, as quite uniquely they represent
two different types. The left foot on the ground wears an old-fashioned curly-toed skate. The skate on the extended right foot is ½ inch shorter, thinner and topped by a smaller open-hole-curved blade which is much more in keeping with the period. The bronze must date from after 1919 to 1927, as it was cast in Dresden during the period Berger maintained a studio in the city. These dates coincide with the majority of Grafström's greatest achievements and a time in which his amazing story at the 1920s Antwerp Olympics was legendary. Bronze works that feature skaters are quite unusual, but Berger was drawn to figures in motion. Further he was known for his sculpted portraits and allegories. Berger's bronze figure skater, sporting mismatched blades, defies any logical explanation other than the embodiment of Gillis Grafström at the moment of his greatest victory.

A Court Challenge To Miranda Ruling
February 10, 1999
A federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled Monday that factors other than whether police read arrestees their Miranda rights can be used to determine if a confession is voluntary and admissible at trial.
- The 2-1 ruling likely will be appealed to the full 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and on to the Supreme Court, according to legal observers.
- But for now, it is the law in the circuit's five states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
- The Richmond ruling came in the case of a man who confessed he was in the get-away car following a bank robbery.
The Miranda warning grew out of a 1966 Supreme Court case, Miranda vs. Arizona, which ordered that suspects in police custody be told they can remain silent and have the right to consult a lawyer before questioning.
Prior to the 4th Circuit Court decision, courts had ruled that if the Miranda warning is not given, any confession that results cannot be used against a defendant at trial. However, in 1968 Congress passed a law allowing judges to decide whether or not a defendant's confession was voluntary and could be admitted -- even if the Miranda warning was not given. But the Justice Department has never invoked the law and last year Attorney General Janet Reno said it was unconstitutional.

The latest in a series of videos about the progress being made in the MTA/LIRR East Side Access (ESA) project. When completed, ESA will reduce commuting times by as much as 40 minutes a day for about 160,000 customers who currently travel to Penn Station and then must take a subway, bus or walk to the East Side. It will also reduce passenger crowding levels at Penn Station and thereby enable Metro-North trains to access Penn Station for the first time.
Highlights include:
Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM's) – The machines will create four tunnels under Sunnyside Yard in Queens, connecting the tracks of the Long Island Rail Road Main Line with the tunnel under the East River that leads to Grand Central Terminal.
The tunnels, to be completed in October 2012, are the last to be built as part of East Side Access.
Two separate machines that are excavating tunnels and caverns in the bedrock under Manhattan are on schedule to complete their work this May. The machines were named Tess and Molina by sixth graders at I.S. 204 in Long Island City. – LIRR2010 on YouTube

Board Members
Membership of Property Rights Australia is currently managed by an executive comprised of:
Joanne Rea - Treasurer
I have lived on a beef cattle property outside Rockhampton for almost four decades. In the past I was on the Council of The Cattleman's Union for eight years and wasmember of The Community Consultation Committee of the Rockhampton Hospital District for four years.
I joined the Board of Property Rights Australia because I believe that landholders are being persecuted by government and have had to deal with the concept of Sovereign Risk in a way that is unprecedented in modern times in Australia.
It is clear that governments have no concept of the disillusionment suffered by those very few of the under 40's generation who have continued on as small business owners in the food and fibre industries at a time when the world is predicted to face food shortages as one of its major challenges in the next ten years.
Dale Stiller - Chairman
Dale lives in the headwaters of the Dawson/ Fitzroy river system south of Wandoan and runs a cattle, fodder crop and timber business on an area consisting of land types of both highly productive brigalow uplands and low fertile forest.
Dale draws from the benefits of inter-generational knowledge and connection with the land along with a strong sense of stewardship and justice. It is of great concern the loss of connection by the majority of the population to the realities of life on the
land and the misinformation perpetrated by those who have lost all balance between production, community and conservation. The ability of people to live meaningful productive lives for generations to come is dependent on the restoration of this balance.
Trenton Hindman - Secretary
Trenton Hindman is a grazier and business man based in Rockhampton. He is married with 3 children and has family properties at Jackson, Dulacca and Wyandra. Trent graduated from Queensland
Agricultural College - Gatton in 1987 with a Bachelor of Applied Science - Rural Technology.
Trent started his Gofarm Agribusiness in Miles in 1996 and now operates 3 Gofarm - Rural merchandise stores located in Roma, Chinchilla and Rockhampton.
Ashley McKay - Vice Chairman
I was born in 1941 and married Doris in 1963. We own and operate a cattle breeding and fattening property at Augathella.
I was the Foundation President of the Australian Camp Drafters Assoc. in 1972 and also joined the Cattlemen's Union at its inception and held the position of Councillor for five years and Vice President for three years. I have also been Chairman of the Land & Local Government Committee, a member of the QLD Government State Trees Group. a member of the Ministerial resource Management Advisory Committee and the Chair on a Local Tree Clearing Group.
I have been a Property Rights Australia member since it's inception and previously was on the board for four years. I have worked with many leading Rangeland scientists and conservation people. Dorris and I won a landmark case against the Queensland Government in 2005.

Residents concerned about Bell comm tower
Bell Mobility presented its plans for a 40 metre tall telecommunications tower in Alcona at a public meeting, on June 20 and faced strong public opposition, including a 200 name petition against the proposal.
The free-standing microwave tower is being proposed for Innisfil Beach Park, in a treed area behind the Alcona fire hall and within 300 metres of both an established residential area and the park's toboggan hill.
And that, said resident Brian Durkin, violates the town's own policy on communications towers, a policy which states such structures should not be located within 300 metres of residential areas.
Durkin said there are roughly 65 residences within 300 metres of the proposed cell tower, 356 within 500 metres of the location.
"Why is the town not following its own guidelines?" Durkin asked, adding that his chief concern was exposure to radio signals and microwave radiation, especially for children using the toboggan hill, which would be less than 80 metres from the structure.
He also took issue with town's notification of the public meeting. Durkin told council that the there was no sign on the property by the firehall advising of the meeting, the information was not on the digital sign at the firehall and although it was on the digital sign at the Innisfil Town Hall, the message "doesn't say anything about a cell tower, doesn't say anything about Innisfil Beach Park. I think this is a clear effort to minimize public involvement."
Durkin asked if Bell had considered alternative sites which would have less impact on residents. He suggested the water pollution control plant, an area already zoned industrial, with fewer than 10 homes within 300 metres.
The town also heard from Shelley Wright, who has been diagnosed with EMF sensitivity: extreme sensitivity to wireless radiation.
Although she lives one kilometre from the proposed tower, she told the meeting, "My health could be severely compromised by a cell tower in
proximity to my home... With every exposure my sensitivities appear to be getting worse."
Wright and her family had moved to the area specifically to be far from sources of radiation. "No one came to my house with information about this tower. No one asked if it is okay," she said. By placing the highly visible tower in the park, "you are basically strapping me to a giant cell phone I can never turn off."
One speaker supported the new mobile phone tower. John Wright complained of poor reception for his cell phone, and said, "I think the addition of a tower is quite needed in this area."
But Marie Martin, a long-time cottager whose cottage is almost directly across from the site on Innisfil Beach Road, expressed the sentiments of the majority when she told councillors, "The park has been a very beautiful place, very loved and enjoyed. Why does this have to be in the park? We should be protecting the park. It's a park, not a business area."
Town staff, who had recommended supporting the Bell Mobility application, confirmed that the tower would be only 85 metres from the toboggan hill, and would necessitate some tree-cutting for the enclosed compound, but insisted a sign had been placed at the property, although it may have been removed.
James Kennedy, a spokesperson for Bell, said the company has been looking for an Alcona site to improve its cell and wireless service in the area.
Its nearest transmitter is in the Town of Georgina, across Lake Simcoe.
He agreed that the company would be willing to look at other locations, "within a kilometre."
Coun. Lynn Dollin noted that a similar situation arose in Thornton, where a tower was initially proposed for a heavily populated area and an alternative site was eventually found.
The town's policy on telecommunications was written after that debate.
Telecommunications towers are a federal responsibility, but Industry Canada recently changed its rules to require consultation with the local decision-making body.

If you're in search of wood flooring for your kitchen, it's important that you take into consideration what a tough environment kitchens can be when it comes to wood. Wood is a natural material, and reacts to changes in temperature and humidity by expanding and contracting. Extreme and rapid cases of expansion and contraction can cause havoc with wooden floors. Add to this, spills, grease and high traffic around your work triangle and you'll start to see there's more than just good looks to take into account when choosing a wooden floor for your kitchen.
Without a doubt, engineered wood flooring is more suitable for a kitchen environment than solid wood. Solid wood flooring is made up of planks of one single species of wood and nothing else. While solid wood flooring will remain perfectly stable in many rooms in the home, the kitchen is not one of them. The changes in temperature caused by ovens and hobs can cause solid wooden flooring to buckle and warp because it expands so much when the kitchen is "in action" and then cause gaps to develop when the kitchen temperature returns to normal.
It is for these reasons that engineered wood flooring, which is a much more stable flooring option, is more suitable. So why is engineered wood flooring more stable? It is more stable because it is a man made construction, designed with maximum stability in mind. It is made up of layers of different types of wood, which are bonded together and then topped with a solid wood lamella or top layer. Because of its top layer, it looks just like solid wood, but because of the construction of its under layer, it will not expand and contract like solid wood, making it the ideal choice for your kitchen.

on Friday, one of the guys at work felt the need to take the day off to go get married, so we decorated his office in congratulatory pink, naturally.
later Friday night, Ben and I went for some good barbeque food, walked around our cute little town, and watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother. it was a good summer night.
Saturday, my friend Jess got married!
she is such a sweetheart and their wedding was super adorable, as expected.
I 'd volunteered Ben and I to bartend the party, but since Ben was gone doing Air Force things, my friend Molly helped me out. if you ever need a drink mixed up, lemme know cause that job is so.much.fun.
lazy Sunday morning, writing love notes in my cards to hide around the house.
and a productive Sunday [nerdy] afternoon, working on our budget once Ben came home.
Sunday night, we took advantage of having the next day off and we went out with friends, which always ends in going back to their place for darts. the boys are obsessed.
Monday was such a beautiful day, so we went to the Rochester Red Wing's last home game of the season.
we scored free tickets from some nice guy in line, ate ballpark food [including delicious fresh lemonade and some Dippin' Dots, obviously] and got what will probably be our last tan lines of summer.
the rest of Sunday included going to see my brother and his fiancee's new house that they just moved into, a bike ride along the canal, and naturally, more HIMYM. we gotta finish season 7 before the new season premiere!
I hope you all had an awesome Labor Day weekend too. Happy September!

Most counting machines use the size of the coins to determine which coins go where. Usually, there is an opening at the top where you put bunches of mixed-up coins through, and there is a slant on which the coins slide down. The first hole built into the slant is the dime hole. Because the dimes are the smallest, only they will fall into the hole, while all the rest skip by. The penny hole is next, followed by the nickel hole, the quarter hole and finally the half dollar hole. So if you put in a quarter, it will not fit into the dime, penny or nickel hole; it will slide over them and fall into the first hole that it fits into, which is the quarter hole.
Many machines today can measure how many coins are in each slot by their weight. After the scale calculates the weight and determines the value, it sends the information to a processing unit, which displays the total value.
Today, many machines are using newer technology that can determine which coin is which faster and more accurately. Modern machines use beams of light and light receptors that are adjacent each other. When a coin passes by, the light is obstructed, thus verifying that a coin has been dropped. The machines then use weight and size to confirm their calculations, and the totals are sent to a processing unit, where they displayed for the person using the machine.

Relative EPC

The Home Depot thread speculates that Home Depot rejects sites based on their EPC.
I find this problematic as an affiliate's EPC is often the result of the their merchants. Since I have low EPC merchants in my profile, I have a low EPC.
The "relative earnings" of an affiliate would be a much more interesting metric than pure EPC. Relative earnings is real earnings divided by expected earnings. To get expected earnings, you simply multiply (merchant by merchant) the affiliate hits by the merchant's EPC.
You then divide the affiliate's real earnings by their expected earnings. If the number is greater than 1, the affiliate is beating the market. If the number is less than 1, they are dragging down the market.
Personally, I wish CJ had a report that gave us our expected earnings. It is a bear to figure out by hand.
Anyway, an affiliate's EPC really is nothing more than a reflection of the merchants they promote. If a merchant is rejecting affiliates based on this metric, they are silly.

Summarizing, EPC isn't the tell-all metric that some people think it is. Not to measure affiliates -and- not to measure merchant's programs. It's not a horrible general metric, but to use it, you must understand what influences it and you must put those other things into context, like volume and methods.
Often, a low EPC affiliate is a much better acquisition that a high EPC affiliate. Sometimes, ther reverse can be true.
EPC is no measure of an affiliates suitability and if they are using it as a screening tool, they don't understand what they're doing - and they are being silly and foolish!

An affiliate with lots of impressions and clicks but a low EPC can be a bargain compared to buying any kind of media placements from networks or site buys. IF ya don't count view though conversions when tracking and evaluating performance most media buys that just run standard banners look like crap and dont' come anywhere near the performance of any kind of paid search and nowhere close to affiliate programs.

Jenny explained that she started using heroin and street drugs when young, becoming homeless as a result. There were no services available to help her. In January 2006 she was interviewed by a researcher from a government project, who referred her to a drop in centre. Jenny attended the centre and eventually started volunteering there. As a result she received some training (e.g. awareness of drug and alcohol abuse) and improved her Maths and English. She also started doing
some courses with Tyneside Cyrenians.
She became interested in getting a job and in February 2008 became a Support Worker for their GAP project. The team leader of this project was impressed with Jenny and her desire to work and
managed to secure funding from Northern Rock to be able to engage her as a Support Worker. It was a small, three person team and Jenny worked part time 16 hours per week.
The GAP project works with women over 18 years old who have been sexually exploited. Jenny has a case load of 12 clients. She found it hard work at first and it was especially hard to gain the trust of the clients: "But when they realise you are not going to walk away, they open up". She felt that they definitely tell her more about themselves and their problems when they know she was a service user herself. She is always open about this with clients as she feels it gives them motivation and provides a positive role model. She feels that confidentiality has not been an issue and that her clients aren't bothered about this. She is good friends with some, but they don't ask her for confidential information and she would never give it if they did. She has never found being both a service user and employee to be a problem. She was on methadone when she started with Tyneside Cyrenians, but has been in detox now for more than a year.
At first, Jenny found the pressures of the job were hard to cope with. Although this was entirely internally driven, she thought she had to do everything perfectly. Her appraisal at the end of her first
year of employment was very positive and she now feels much more relaxed. She is very positive about the impact of having service user employees: "For service users....it gives them a great
motivation when they see an ex-service user in a job....they want to do the same thing."

This post has been writing itself for months now. I have talked about quitting this blog for a while now, here and in private with friends, asked for opinions on what I should do, weighed the pros and cons, and have finally come to a conclusion.
As you may have discerned from the post title, I have decided to say goodbye to Writing, Wishing. The "long" part of this is that I will still own my domain and renew my hosting for another 12 months. My content will remain for now, I will still be on all the social media channels, and most importantly (to me at least), I will still be writing. Just not here. When the next renewal comes up, I will figure out what to do with nearly 700 posts (ideas, anyone?). In June, I am closing comments, including Facebook comments.
You see, this blog has served its purpose. It gave me a space to write whatever and whenever I wanted to. It led me to working and writing for many places. It gave me the balls to launch my own business. It motivated me to pursue lifelong passions for photography and writing, and best of all, it opened the door to amazing friendships I would never have made otherwise.
By leaving this blog, I am not giving up all that I've earned. Quite the opposite. By freeing myself from blogging with all its entrapments and obligations, I have guilt-free time to focus on them, and what matters most – my family.
I will continue to write, in private, and if I am so lucky, on other sites, and maybe even get into another book anthology.
I will continue to take photographs and finish off my year-long Through The Lens Thursday project, probably on my blog's Facebook page.
I will continue to be at BonBon Break, looking for and sharing great content.
I will continue to work on blog book tours.
I will still be on Twitter sharing my favourite reads and chatting with friends. I will definitely be on Facebook. I am not abandoning Pinterest or Instagram ( though I will be making the latter private).
Most of all, I will still be your friend. I may not make it to your blogs to read and comment regularly, but I will try. I may not be joining in your blog hops or linkups, but I will support you. I may leave some private Facebook groups, but I will certainly still be your Facebook friend (if we are already friends there).
It's been a wonderful four years. I have loved blogging, but I don't anymore, not in its current form (with all the social media obligations and whatnot). I am forever grateful that I decided on a whim to start a blog on March 29, 2011. I am thankful for all the opportunities and friendships.
I will miss this space, but I have no regrets.

Infographics | Timetables | Maps | Brochures | Stop Displays | Transport Access Guides | Design Rationale Development | Pictogram Standards | Route Numbering Strategy | Best Practice Designs
Timetables are produced to meet the clients' requirements and mainly consist of four basic formats. These are wallet, pocket, standard DL and booklet.
Our timetables are renowned for their clean and concise display of transport information through easy-to-read, well laid out and uncluttered styling with the use of clear route maps and diagrams.
The size of the finished timetable depends on what market it is being used for.
Wallet (Credit Card) Timetable
The use of the wallet timetable is great for metropolitan operators where passengers have easy accessible information that is portable and can fit into wallets, handbags and small cases easily whilst, at the same time, not lacking the essential elements of timetable design. The size of our wallet timetable varies horizontally, whilst the standard three panels vertical (for ease of folding) is maintained. Maximum flat sheet size is generally up to eight panels across. One panel is equivalent to 65mm wide by 95mm high.
Pocket Timetable
The pocket timetable is also suitable for metropolitan operations, and is good for where more space is required to convey larger amounts of useful information. This size is also suitable for regional timetable operations where large regional maps can be placed without the need for stick maps or separations. The size of our pocket timetable varies horizontally, whilst the standard two panels vertical (for ease of folding) is maintained. Maximum flat sheet size is generally up to eight panels across. One panel is equivalent to 80mm wide by 145mm high.
Standard DL Timetable
The standard DL timetable is suitable for operators who have standardised on this size and currently have display racks on vehicles or a wide distribution to locations where distinction is required between other operators information. The standard DL is made of one or more DL (99mm X 210mm) panels which fold back to normal DL size. This size is suitable for all types of transport operators and can include supplementary information about other services provided.
Booklet Timetable
The booklet timetable is similar to the standard DL size timetable except it can be made up of a large number of pages. This size suits operations where network information is a must and inclusion of fares, tourist details and company portfolio is required. This timetable is usually made up of multiples of four pages at a time to the required number.

America's three biggest carmakers have requested $25 billion (£16.5 billion) in emergency funding from the US government in a bid to save their companies from collapse.
However, the request was opposed in Congress by Republicans and the Bush administration who do not want to dip into their treasury department's $700 billion (£460 billion) financial bailout programme to help the automotive industry.
General Motors' chief executive officer Rick Wagoner blamed the industry's predicament on the deepening global financial crisis, telling the Senate Banking Committee: "Our industry ... needs a bridge to span the financial chasm that has opened up before us."
Robert Nardelli, chief executive officer of Chrysler, added that the bailout would be "the least costly alternative" when compared with damage from bankruptcy.
Both men told senators they would be willing to consider slashing their salaries to $1 to show a willingness to sacrifice for federal help.
But Democratic Senator and panel chairman Christopher Dodd told the leaders of GM, Chrysler and Ford that the industry was "seeking treatments for wounds that I believe to a large extent were self-inflicted".
"You're asking an awful lot," he said. "I'd like to tell that you in the next couple of days this is going to happen. I don't think it is."

A federal judge refused yesterday to move the assault trial of a man suspected of being a top aide to Osama bin Laden out of Manhattan, saying he could receive a fair trial in New York.
The defendant, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, faces trial beginning April 10 on charges stemming from a jailhouse assault in which a correctional officer, Louis Pepe, was stabbed through the eye with a sharpened comb and left with severe brain damage.
Mr. Salim's lawyer, Richard B. Lind, had argued that the New York City jury pool was tainted because so many New Yorkers were personally affected by the Sept. 11 terror attack.
But Judge Deborah A. Batts of Federal District Court in Manhattan said precautions could be taken ''to assure the selection of an unbiased jury,'' like assembling a larger-than-usual jury pool and questioning potential jurors carefully.
The critical factor was not whether prospective jurors ''may have been personally affected by the events of Sept. 11,'' Judge Batts said, but rather ''their sworn response whether that connection makes it difficult for them to be fair and impartial jurors for the parties in this case.''Continue reading the main story
The government has said that the Nov. 1, 2000, assault in the Metropolitan Correctional Center was part of a plot to take hostages and win the release of other prisoners. But prosecutors say they do not intend to use evidence linking Mr. Salim to any terrorist group at trial. They argued against moving the trial, saying the assault case ''has nothing to do with terrorism in general or the World Trade Center attack in particular.''
Mr. Salim, who has been portrayed by prosecutors as one of Mr. bin Laden's earliest and most influential aides, still faces a separate terrorism conspiracy trial. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Judge Batts also rejected suggestions that a ''tidal wave of public passion'' in New York would result in special prejudice toward an Arab defendant.
''While New York residents are particularly hard hit because of the destruction of the World Trade Center and considerable loss of loved ones,'' the judge said, ''the tidal wave is of national, not just local, proportions.'' In Mr. Salim's case, she added, ''This court is unwilling to find that there exists the rare circumstance of so great a prejudice in one of the largest and most racially, ethnically and culturally diverse districts in the country that the court simply could not believe, as a matter of law, the answers of jurors as to their ability to be impartial.''
Mr. Lind said, ''Of course I will abide by the judge's decision, but I think it will prove to be difficult for people in New York to face jury participation in a case like this.''Continue reading the main story
