In light of the recent holiday (it was yesterday – if you forgot, we hope this list helps you out!), this month we have put together a list of 5 Fraser Valley date ideas to make those special nights out with your sweetheart a little more frequent. Dinner and a movie date nights out are lots of fun, but I think that we can agree that sometimes you just need to mix things up a bit!
The next time you find yourself craving a little quality time with your sweetie, grab this list (or leave a hint by leaving it on the fridge) and enjoy a fun local night out together!
1. Go Bowling
Bowling is one of those great interactive things you can do whether it's your first date, or one hundredth date. The best part? Neither of you have to be any good (or even know what you're doing) to have a great time. Most bowling alleys have switched over to automatic scoring now, so you can even leave your math skills at home. For something a little more upbeat, try out disco or cosmic bowling on a Friday or Saturday night, and bowl the night away while bopping to top 40 music and strobe lights.
Haven't been bowling in a while, and aren't sure where to go? A few great Fraser Valley bowling alleys:
Revs @ Maple Ridge
22730 119th Avenue, Maple Ridge
Chillibowl Lanes
45916 Wellington Avenue, Chilliwack
Galaxy Bowl
32490 Simon Avenue, Abbotsford
Xcalibur Bowling Center
12350 Puttullo Place, Surrey
Willowbrook Lanes
6350 196th Street, Langley

2. Take a Cooking Class Together
Many local universities, and locally owned food markets (Lepp Farm Market) and kitchen stores (Kitchen Therapy, Well Seasoned) are now offering casual one-night cooking classes for singles, couples and groups. With exciting themes like Great Greek Food, Superbowl Sized Appetizers, Rustic Italian Soups and Pasta from Scratch, these classes are suitable for both cooking amateurs and foodies alike! Make sure to book your spot early though, as the promise of tons of fun and tons of food usually causes these classes to sell out quickly.
3. Get Your Dance On – Ballroom Style
As old fashioned as it may seem, sometimes a lady just wants to be taken out dancing. The next time the dancing bug strikes you, make reservations at the Copper Room in Harrison Hot Springs and give yourself (and your hunny) a reason to get all dolled up. Being one of the few places in the Fraser Valley where you can wear your ball gown to dinner (and fit in!), the Copper Room provides a dining and dancing experience like no other. If you don't trust yourself on the dance floor, consider taking a few dance lessons or an introductory dance class that covers all styles of ballroom dancing, before your big date. For great beginners classes, try Dancing for Dessert Studio in Langley, Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Surrey or Ballroom Dance Feverfor lessons in Chilliwack and Abbotsford.

4. Take a Mystery Drive
A date idea that requires very little pre-planning, taking a mystery drive is a fun idea for a spontaneous date night where neither of you are sure what to do. Set off with a full tank of gas, a few snacks, a blanket for possible stargazing, a great mix playlist on your iPod (bonus points if you make the playlist especially for your drive), and there's no telling where you might end up on your adventure. Roll dice to help make decisions when you're unsure of where and when to turn (1/2 turn left, 3/4 turn right, 5/6 stay straight). Don't forget to stop if you see something you'd like to do!
5. Go to a Local Play or Comedy Night
The next time you open the paper to check movie listings, consider taking in a local play or comedy show instead. There really is something to be said about watching a live production unfold, especially if it's something you haven't experienced before. In the upcoming months we are lucky enough to have a wide array of plays and shows performing all over the Fraser Valley. From "The Tempest" (Shakespeare) and Directors' Theatre Festival (various) at UFV, to "The Sea Horse" (Drama) at the Surrey Arts Center, to "Jailhouse Rock" (Elvis Tribute) at the Abbotsford Arts Center, and great productions at Langley Players Drama Club or the Surrey Little Theatre, you're sure to find something that suits your fancy!
Since the Fraser Valley has no shortage of fantastic things to do with your loved one, this article was a tough one! Where are you favorite places to go when you are craving quality time together?

When Congress breaks for its winter recess the Popular Party will throw itself headlong into campaigning for the general election next March.
10 December 2007
MADRID - When Congress breaks for its winter recess in less than two weeks, Spain's main opposition Popular Party will throw itself headlong into campaigning for the general election next March. But after a legislature in which the conservatives have, in the eyes of many, swung hard to the right, party leader Mariano Rajoy will be seeking to claw back the centre ground in the run-up to election day.
According to party sources, the PP is to drop much of its hardnosed criticism of the Socialist government over issues such as counterterrorism policy and regional devolution that plays so well with the conservative grassroots, opting instead to talk about policies to which most voters are willing to lend an ear - and, the PP hopes, their support.
There are signs that this has already started to happen. Although the issue of how to deal with ETA remains divisive, the murder by the Basque terrorist group of two Spanish Civil Guard officers in southwestern France on 1 December sparked a brief show of political unity. After months as virtually the PP's only talking point, ETA is not expected to be on Rajoy's agenda during the weekly parliamentary debate this Wednesday. Instead, he will focus on the economy - an issue the PP foresees as its main vote-winner.
Opinion polls suggest that the strategy could work. Many of the young people who turned out in massive numbers to vote in Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in 2004 have grown increasingly disgruntled. While salaries remain low, inflation has risen sharply and mortgage payments - for those who have managed to buy a home - have become a major burden. Rajoy has promised to eliminate income tax for all low earners.
Hardliners sidelined
However, the PP's biggest strategy success ahead of the election may well be symbolic rather than practical. The campaign will centre squarely on Rajoy, a politician who, though still not exactly popular, inspires less reticence among voters than the PP's respective number two and number three: Secretary General Ángel Acebes and Congress Spokesman Eduardo Zaplana.
In the place of the two hardliners, the PP campaign will feature moderate voices, among them campaign chief Pío García Escudero and campaign coordinator Juan Costa.

Generali Insurances holds a common capital of 120 million lei.
On April 30, the shareholders have unanimously decided to raise capital and agreed on the participation of Generali to Natural Disaster Insurance Pool with 1% of its common capital which is expected to stand below 12 million euros.
"As the 2008 financial results were positive, the current capital raise is deemed as sufficient to meet solvency-related liabilities", said the chairman – managing director of Generali Insurances, Marie Kovarova.
During the same meeting, the shareholders passed the financial report for 2008, as well as budget for 2009.
The company reported total sales of 417.5 million lei, (roughly 113.4 million euros) last year, up 9% from a year earlier on growing demand for life insurances.
Generali Insurances said the company's operations are expected to return a net profit of 24.59 million lei, 41% below prior forecasts due to outstanding premiums, according to 2009 blueprint. The financial results are calculated based on international financial reporting standards.
For this year, Generali Insurances revised its business volume downwards, to 510.24 million lei, from 547.8 million lei.

Experience Days – Breaking a world record!
So who can remember what they were doing/thinking about all the way back in August? I'm sure most of you weren't thinking about Christmas… but for us here at Experience Days it was all we had on our minds as we began researching ideas for our Christmas event.
After a month of brain storming, and deciding that we wanted to host a charity event, we finally decided to attempt a World Record. And what better record to represent our gift voucher company and tie in with Christmas than the record for 'the most people simultaneously gift wrapping'.
As you might imagine, a lot goes into becoming world record holders – after all it's about achieving something that has only happened once in the world! So we've put together this blog for you guys to have a read through, to find out exactly what goes into planning a World Record Christmas event.
As three Bournemouth University students on placement here at Experience Days, we were all very excited to be involved with such a big charity event. We began planning a few months back, beginning with the search for a venue, charity, toy company for donations and, of course, participants!
We wanted to find a charity to work with that we could really try and help at Christmas time. We immediately thought of children's charities… what if we could give 400 children a present this Christmas who otherwise might have gone without? As a gift company, we all thought this would be a good idea.
Barnardo's were the first charity we thought of. Their centres do such great work supporting local families, we thought they would love to receive gifts around Christmas time. Thankfully when we phoned they were delighted to be chosen, so the first stage of preparations was complete.
Next came securing a toy company that would be willing to donate 400 gifts for a charity event. We were somewhat worried that this might be a bit of a stretch, but Mattel, the toy giant behind Barbie and Hot Wheels, very kindly agreed to donate all the gifts we needed for the attempt to go ahead! They played a huge part in the success of this world record attempt, and we are so grateful for their involvement.
Next on the agenda was finding somewhere that would fit 400 people seated with enough space and table area to wrap a gift. This turned out to be a slightly trickier than we had first anticipated… no where we looked seemed to be big enough! So we decided to return to our roots and get Bournemouth University involved.
Visiting Bournemouth was great. With the help of Emma Matthews and Emily King, plans for promoting the attempt and getting the students involved were coming together. But still, we had the issue of finding a venue.
Where could we fit this amount of people, that would also be easily accessible on a Friday night? The obvious choice was the ever popular student club, The Old Firestation. Based in Lansdowne, the venue is renowned for holding over 800 students on club nights, so we were pretty sure this would be the one. We went along to meet with venue manager Alan Dove. As he showed us the space, it quickly dawned on us that a nightclub with capacity of 800 was not going to be big enough. Sure, this venue was ideal for 800 people dancing within millimetres of each other, however, for 400 seated wrappers – it was not.
However, Alan had another trick up his sleeve and he put us in touch with Citygate Church. This venue is often used by BU to seat 1000 exam students, and it's a vibrant church that has up to 500 in its Sunday congregation. Throwing caution to the wind, we took our chances and walked the short distance from the Firestation to Citygate, in hope that someone would be willing to show us round.
We were lucky enough to meet Eliot, the venue manager. After showing us the space, we immediately knew this was the one. The venue is a huge hall with a stage, lighting, enough chairs for 500 and it would even be decorated for Christmas by the 4th of December! After a quick diary check, we had secured Citygate as the offical venue for The Big Gift Wrap. It was a huge relief and we can't thank everyone at Citygate enough.
In the lead up to Christmas we all know the Post Office gets very busy, however they were probably a little curious as to why we were having around 6 parcels shipped to our office everyday! Granted we may have got a little carried away, but when it comes to planning a Christmas wrapping record event, one can never be too prepared. Of course we were going to need 800 festive bows for the 400 presents, that's not excessive, right?
As more and more stock arrived at our office, including projectors, screens, wrapping materials, sticky tape and hundreds of Christmas hats, it began to look like we were building our very own grotto! Christmas had most definitely come early!
You can only imagine our excitement when we heard through the intercom that two palates had been delivered, that's right two whole palates of toys! As we were loading the toys into the lift you could see how excited we all were, it felt like Christmas morning and we were about 10 years old again!
Once we had all the toys up to the 5th floor (of course our office would be the one at the top of the building), we began to open up the boxes to see what goodies were hidden inside.
We couldn't believe our eyes when the first toy we pulled out was Woody from Toy Story, next came Cinderella and her carriage – the gifts were absolutely fantastic, Mattel had definitely pulled out all the stops and we can't thank them enough! With a collection of 400 fantastic Disney Pixar toys, we knew there would be smiles on all the children's faces come Christmas day.
When it came to promotion of the event we knew it wasn't going to be easy, especially considering our offices are based in Brighton and we were hosting the event in Bournemouth, it's a good job we're all fans of road trips!
Luckily we had members of Bournemouth University RAG (Raising and Giving) society helping us out, as we couldn't have done it without them. They arranged for us to come down to the University on three separate occasions and set up a stall to promote the event. All we needed now was to design the leaflets, get thousands printed, and hit the road.
On each of the promotional days we had members from RAG as well as members from Barnardo's come and join us to help advertise the event. They were all fantastic, and we would especially like to thank Barnardo's as they were able to provide more information about the charity itself and all the fantastic work they do to help the children, which we feel really helped to grab people's attention.
Over the three days we managed to get over 300 sign ups – so we were feeling hopeful.
Whilst we were at the university we also arranged an interview with Lauren from Nerve Radio, which was to be broadcast to all of the students to further our reach. We're so glad Lauren was able to get involved with the event and we would like to thank her for her support.
Once we returned to Brighton, despite feeling like the promotional days had gone really well, we felt like we still needed to do more to make sure we had 400 attendees on the day, so we decided to open the event up to the general public.
First stop the Bournemouth Echo – what better way to capture peoples attention than by placing a full page ad slap bang in the middle of the Sunday paper? So that's exactly what we did!
We also sent one of the team back down to Bournemouth to leaflet around the town, to try and get the word out as much as possible.
Participants were the key to breaking the record, so we had to make sure we focused as much of our attention on getting sign ups as possible.
Next came hiring the staff, sounds simple enough doesn't it? But when you're attempting to hold a World record event, nothing is simple. In order to adhere to the record guidelines we needed to source two professional time keepers, two independent witnesses and eight stewards, all of which had to have no connection to ourselves or the event – this was going to be tricky!
A hundred calls down the line and a well deserved McDonald's break later, we had finally managed to secure not just two but five independent witnesses, as well as all the stewards and our time keepers!
We would like to thank Intouch Accounting, Dorset Police Department, Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, and everyone else that came out to help us, we couldn't have done it without you all!
As the big day was drawing closer, there was only a few things left to do, though we most definitely hadn't left the small tasks last. The most important item on the agenda was to cut all the wrapping paper and ribbon to size, though with 400 to cut this wasn't going to be a quick task so we decided to turn half of the office into a factory for the day, well, more of an elf workshop, and of course no Christmas workshop is complete without a tree and festive tunes, so we had to do some decorating first.
Once we were feeling festive enough we put on our Christmas hats and got to work! I've always loved wrapping presents, though after having had to cut 400 pieces of paper each to size it's fair to say we were rather glad that we weren't allowed to take part in the actual wrapping ourselves, though at least we know we would have been pros!
Next on the agenda came the mammoth task of loading the van, luckily it was a quiet day in the office so everyone was able to help out.
The only thing now left to do was hit the road, get to Bournemouth, and get an early night ahead of the big day!
The day had finally arrived and it was going to be a long one, first stop; a quick dash to the local radio station for a spot on the breakfast show.
Tom and Laura, two lovely representatives of Bournemouth University's Raising and Giving (RAG) and Volunteering Societies, had offered to take part in the interview. But this was no ordinary Radio show where a simple chat would suffice, Tom was to go head to head with the presenter in a wrap-off!
Following the radio show, we made our way to Citygate Centre to begin the immense task of unloading and unpacking 400 toys. With toys and boxes everywhere, it was like a scene from Santa's grotto!
Setting out tables and chairs for 400 people took some strength and organisational skills, and with only a few hours before the doors would be thrown open to the excitable public, time was of the essence.
By 4 o'clock everything had come together, and with each of the 400 wrapping stations equipped with a present, wrapping paper, bow, and Santa hat, it was time to begin.
All that was left was to prep all the fantastic stewards, time keepers and witnesses on their very important roles, set up the cameras, invite everyone in, and let the magic unfold!
As the individuals were shown to their seats and the room began to fill, the atmosphere was amazing. The event really had brought people of all ages together in Christmas spirit.
"Are you ready to WRAP? I can't hear you, ARE YOU READY TO WRAP?!?! 3..2..1…WRAP!!!"
Steve Harris (BBC Radio Presenter) announced to the hall of eager volunteers, as they all set about quickly wrapping the present in front of them, resembling a scene of Santa's elves preparing gifts in his workshop.
As we stood up on the stage observing the festive scenario unfolding beneath, the sense of achievement was overwhelming as we could see that all our hard work had paid off and everyone was actually enjoying themselves!
With 6 seconds to spare the final ribbon was tied, the last Christmas hat was placed on the participants head, the clock was stopped and it was over. Now the only question that remained was; had the World Record been beaten?!
Unfortunately we didn't manage to break the record, as we didn't quite get enough wrappers, nonetheless we all still felt that the event was a huge success, and felt very honoured to be able to donate all 400 toys to Barnardo's just in time for Christmas!
Carole Banton from Barnardo's Children's charity said: "Despite not breaking the record, it didn't matter as the event was still brilliant."
She added "Children and families in Bournemouth are going to really benefit from all this fantastic goodwill. Some of the children and families we work with are really struggling financially, especially at this time of year. We're really thrilled."
Knowing the achievement that day was all for a good cause couldn't have been more rewarding, and we're sure everyone that took part thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
We are so delighted to be able to help support Barnardo's this Christmas, and we hope that all those that receive a gift have a very Merry Christmas.
And so there you have it, the process of planning a Christmas World record event from start to finish!
We're hoping to re-attempt the record again next Christmas, and this time with more knowledge and experience we're sure we can break it! A big thanks again to all the staff that helped us on the day, and of course all the wrappers that came and took part! We hope to see you all again next year!
Until then have a very merry Christmas! – From the team at Experience Days

Scientists measure sharp rise in HFC levels
A sharp rise in atmospheric levels of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in 2002 has been reported by scientists monitoring greenhouse gases from the Arctic Norwegian territory of Svalbard (Spitsbergen). Levels of two HFC compounds in particular (125 and 134a) were 20% higher than in 2001. The European Commission has proposed measures to limit emissions and curb some uses of HFCs and other "f-gases" under EU climate change policy (EED 24/10/03). HFC manufacturers recently reiterated their view that using f-gases can actually reduce the greenhouse effect. See Norwegian press release and report, and F-gas industry brochure.

The Cartel Trailer (2009)
In his first feature film, director Bob Bowdon takes aim at America's public school system, revealing a self-serving network of wasteful cartels that squander funding and fail to deliver when it comes to academic testing and basic skills. Both parents and teachers want change, but reform is an uphill battle in the face of heel-digging bureaucrats and so-called "dropout factories." It's a bona fide crisis that's burgeoning out of control.

Late this afternoon EDT we received this message – now the standard signal for Sea Dragon departure:
Honolulu departure
"Sea Dragon 02? (Add as Preferred Sender)
Date: Thu, Jul 07, 2011 2:31 pm
To: Emily Penn, Ron Ritter
Leaving Honolulu for Vancouver POB 13 crew list attached, please confirm receipt."
We know these messages well. They come over the satphone – that is key as it indicates a vessel underway. The message itself is a final test that all sat comms are working. It has departure city and destination and the crucial "POB" or "passengers on board"…in this case 13. We need final positive confirmation of the the crew count. Finally, the crew asks for active confirmation that the message is received.
With this, the vessel and crew are now on their way on a epic journey into the heart of the original "garbage patch" – the massive North Pacific Gyre.
Emily, now watching the boat from shore – sent this additional bit of info in:
"Sea Dragon is away! She looked fantastic sailing out of Kewalo Basin
under the main and stay sail with helicopter buzzing overhead. Now we
await the news and blogs!"
We will follow them and their weather closely over the next 21 days.
Most importantly – We thank the Crew for their sacrifice and hard work. This, like all, is an important mission that benefits all. Despite their excitement. We know they all have their own personal anxiety and have left important people behind in their lives. We appreciate their equal sacrifice.
I believe the words are "Godspeed"!

Kudos to Seneca football coach Bill Fisher.
The ninth-year head man brought the Golden Eagles back from a 3-7 season last year to a South Group 3 semifinal against No. 1 seed Hammonton.
Fifth-seeded Seneca (7-2) is made up mostly of underclassmen.

I have been looking at the Benelli M4's for a long time debating on if they are worth the $1600 price tag. I recently stumbled across the new FNH SLP and began doing research. There are a ton of positive reviews and write ups on them, but for those who did the same comparison, or who have experience with them, is the FNH SLP on the same level as the Benelli M4 as far as combat shotguns go?

"Day surgery unit"
About: Royal Surrey County Hospital Royal Surrey County Hospital Guildford GU2 7XX
Posted via NHS Choices
Excellent treatment very efficient. All staff were kind and respectful. I kbew exactly what was happening and when. My staff nurse was particularly good as was the nurse who admitted me. Another was bubbly and cheerful. The team seemed to work well together The registrar while very informative and caring leant a little too far forward into my personal space when talking to me, just a small thing. Only real problem was I found it difficult to find the unit. There does not appear to be an option for the department I visited so it is in the title of the review and i have put gynaecoligy.as this was the nature of the operation.

What is the differences between world bank and IMF?
IMF concerns itself with macroeconomics issues, such as balance of payment issues, international trade policy, and exchange rates. The founding idea was that there was a need for collective action on the international level for financial stability.
The World Bank, ideally, is to deal with issues more related
to structure within a country, such as how and what the
government spends money on, financial institutions, labor
markets and trade policies. The World Bank concerns itself more with development projects, which have been
controversial in the past, such as dam construction.
There is a major difference that world bank provide a long
term loan for distressed economy and member countries
where as IMF grants the short term loans to develop the
cyclical disturbance in economy.
Note-wta headquarter in Geneva Switzerland
World bank is working for world free poverty.
It's headquarters is in Washington dc .Jim yong Kim was d chairman of world bank. Kaushik basu is the chief economic advisor , he's from india. Total 188 countries are d members of world bank.
Imf stands for International monetary fund, established on 27 Dec 1945 but It's started its functioning on 1 march 1947.It's headquarters also is in Washington dc . Christine logarde is d chairman. Voting power of India in Imf is 2.44% whereas us is in 1st place with 17.49%.

Tips for Running Safely Outside
Read Other Treadmills
Good day to you all. Now not too long ago I posted about Treadmill Safety, well today I thought I would include all runners by posting about being safe while running outside!
Before you lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement; there are a few things that you should know and be aware of so that you can exercise safely. The first thing that you should be aware of when going out to run is:
Wear Appropriate Clothing
Wearing the appropriate clothing when going running is extremely important. When I say wear appropriate clothing, I mean that in every type of situation; whether it be daytime, nighttime, or different weather conditions. The number one thing you need to remember is to wear bright colored, or easily seen, colors when you are running, either in daytime or night. Visibility is your top priority! When the sun is out shining and doing its thing, and the temperature seems like it is the surface is the sun; you need to wear loose fitting clothing that isn't going to constrict you and raise your body temperature to a point that is sure to give you heat stroke. You also need to wear clothing in cold weather that is going to keep you warm, but not too warm. Also, if the weather looks like it could change in a heartbeat and start raining, and you still want to go running, it would be wise to pack a rain poncho!
Pack A Cellphone
This is good for many reasons. One being that if you get stuck somewhere due to inclement weather, you can have some way of getting a hold of your spouse/friend so they can come pick you up. Another reason is if you get lost on your run, and you really don't know where you are; well don't worry because you brought a cell phone and you can call someone to come to your aid! Another big reason that carrying a cell phone with you on runs is that if you just come upon a situation that needs you to call emergency services. It is just a good idea to have a way to immediately contact somebody if the need arises.
Leave Your iPod at the Treadmill
Listening to your music while running outside, listening to it while running on a treadmill is a better idea! I know it sounds like I'm speaking blasphemy; but before you grab your torch and pitchforks and come to string me up from the highest branch from a tree, hear me out! What happens when you block your ears and blast a bunch of noise in them? If your answer is anything but "you can't hear anything outside of your music", you were wrong! Yes, you can't hear anything outside of your music when you are listening to it while you run; not a dog about to sink a bite right into your calf, not a speeding cyclist that is yelling at you to move, not a car that is approaching behind you and can't see you. So if you have those earphones in blasting what you call music, how are you supposed to be aware of your surroundings!?
Pack Along Some Common Sense As Well!
I'm going to throw cycling in with this category as well in response to the many cyclists I see straddling the bike lane line, instead of being inside of it safely and comfortably. They make sidewalks and bike lanes for a reason, and that reason isn't just so you can see how close you can get to vehicles. Sure it's great that you are "making a statement" and making sure your rights as a cyclist/runner are protected, or whatever; but cars aren't going to turn into jelly when they hit you because of your daring escapade. Cars are a pretty solid and immovable thing and from the resulting collision the car might have a couple of dents and dings; you, however will be in much worse shape. So use that head of yours while you are out cycling/running and be cautious of all vehicles as you are not certain if they even see you.
The bottom line people is be smart while you are out there running. All in all, if something doesn't feel right about where you are going, then turn around and go somewhere else. Be safe!

2011 Fall Time Change
October 30, 2011 by staff
2011 Fall Time Change, While many associate the daylight saving time with the last week of October, this year we will fall into the first week of November.
In most of the United States, November 06 is the day to set your clocks one hour, giving you an extra hour of sleep (or partying on Saturday night) – but the night gets darker earlier than do now. The new fall marks the end of daylight saving time (DST) period, which now begins the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November, according to the energy legislation passed in 2005 that light saving time.
As an article in The Huffington Post noted, the official term is summer time, but many Americans refer to it in the plural, as the summer time.
Not all states and U.S. territories observe daylight savings ritual confusing time. The federal government requires that Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands in return for their watches.
"If Arizona were to observe DST, the sun would stay until 9 pm in the summer [instead of 8 pm, as it does now]," which can be problematic during the months when the state Grand Canyon experience extreme heat, according to a notice of an ABC affiliate in Arizona quoted by The Huffington Post.

Fiat did This Backwards, but We Love Them for It
Most of the time we see sports cars come out as a hardtop coupe model before we even think about the convertible possibilities. in Europe many of the convertible sports cars are called Spider models and the newest item to wear the Fiat badge is the 124 Spider. This is a car that's based off the Mazda Miata, which is no surprise since it's built in the same plant, but the 124 Spider gives us Italian style and more engine options than the Miata to be a fantastic variation of the small roadster that comes at an affordable price.

Sorry about the delay. I haven't moved into the world of high speed wireless yet. And using the old-fashioned dial up takes forever (no matter how I fiddle with image quality, etc.) But here is the one photo from our retreat I know everyone has been waiting for.

I'm not even sure of the answer -- I just think someone should ask the question.

Pope Benedict XVI, in his annual World Day of Peace message, captures the ambivalence of the present moment but also the appropriate Christian response when he writes:
"I invite you to look to 2012 with this attitude of confident trust. It is true that the year now ending has been marked by a rising sense of frustration at the crisis looming over society, the world of labor and the economy, a crisis whose roots are primarily cultural and anthropological. It seems as if a shadow has fallen over our time, preventing us from clearly seeing the light of day."
There is a great unease through our land. In the United States, we remain divided ideologically, culturally, economically. In many ways the stalemates that have plagued our government for the past year reflect a broader stalemate on a host of issues.
Around the world, and particularly in the West, the economic crisis of Europe has unnerved people. Governments have fallen, but whole economies may be next. In Africa, elites battle for power while the masses of people suffer terribly in countries from Somalia and Sudan, to the Congo, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
New dangers await on the Korean Peninsula, and war continues in Afghanistan, strife in the Middle East, and an uneasy new era begins in Iraq with the final withdrawal last month of U.S. military personnel.
How difficult it is to have hope. Yet the pope finds reason for hope in the world's young, that "with their enthusiasm and idealism [they] can offer new hope to the world." He calls it a real duty of all — and not just a matter of expediency — to be attentive to young people, listen to them and appreciate them. Addressing them, he calls them a "precious gift" to society and to the Church, and "an example and an inspiration to adults, even more so to the extent that you seek to overcome injustice and corruption and strive to build a better future."
At the same time, he underscores the common responsibility of those of the present generation to train the future generation to "be people of peace and builders of peace."
Several of his recommendations include:
◗ Parents, see presence to your children as one of the greatest "treasures" you can give. "This presence makes it possible to share more deeply in the journey of life and thus to pass on experiences and convictions gained with the passing of the years, experiences and convictions which can only be communicated by spending time together."
◗ Americans, be on watch against modern cultural currents like individualism that detach our understanding of justice from its roots: "charity and solidarity."
◗ Christians, work on a spiritual maturity makeover. "In order to be true peacemakers, we must educate ourselves in compassion, solidarity, working together, fraternity, in being active within the community and concerned to raise awareness about national and international issues and the importance of seeking adequate mechanisms for the redistribution of wealth, the promotion of growth, cooperation for development and conflict resolution."
Because if we are to teach the next generation the joy that comes from the daily exercise of charity and compassion, we first must live it, the pope notes:
"Today more than ever we need authentic witnesses, and not simply people who parcel out rules and facts; we need witnesses capable of seeing farther than others because their life is so much broader."
May your 2012 be broader, more joyful and more confident.

Trending Gifts Made In Washington
3 Ways To Shop Like The Locals For Gifts Made In Washington
We have a saying around here: "when it comes to gifts made in Washington, there's more to 'local' than salmon in a box." In fact, if you truly want to find the best gifts from Seattle and appreciate the Pacific Northwest's culture of local craftsmanship, take a few tips from our intrepid gift-spotters who know where to find the most unique regional treasures. After all, we're not exactly your regular neighborhood gift shop!
Tip 1: Consult the map.
You might be surprised to learn just how specific we can get with our local gifts. It's not just that we carry anything and everything made within a 50 mile radius of the Space Needle--it's that we take care to connect with craftspeople who are passionate about the "locavore" experience, be it in their small island town just outside of Seattle, or their bustling neighborhood in Capitol Hill (just blocks from our own office!).
These are the independent artisans (like Lee Strohm of Pedrohm Woodworking, who has sold her handmade wooden cutting boards in Pike Place Market since the 1980s), scrappy business partners (like Justin Hoffman and Bryan Mitchiner, behind Mustard and Co.), and family-run companies (like Wild Things Chocolate-Dipped Almonds by mother-daughter team Val and Breezy Griffith) whose products we combine to make memorable gifts.
Tip 2: Rethink the meaning of "souvenir".
When we think of souvenirs past, we think of three possible examples: elaborate works of art that looked SO good in the artist's studio through your vacation goggles but now seem ridiculous at home, poorly-made generic trinkets snatched up at a tourist attraction (or-- *gasp*--the airport store!), or snacks you smuggled home in your carry-on. Of these, the only one worth really considering is food.
Spend even a short time in Seattle and you're sure to eat well. Thanks in part to Seattle's community of award-winning chefs, it's easy to find excellent gourmet food and drink items that can make terrific corporate gift baskets or housewarming presents. Sure, our artisanal snacks and cocktail supplies might not be TRUE tourist souvenirs, since you don't have to visit town to enjoy them, but they can conjure memories of places you've loved, or transport you to places you want to explore.
In one possible Washington-themed gift combination, for example, you can take yourself on a tasting tour of the islands in the Puget Sound. Pair a crusty sourdough loaf with savory bread dips dreamed up in the San Juan Islands, enjoy your cheese course with heirloom-varietal fruit preserves lovingly made on Orcas Island, and savor sips of Andrew Will Winery's Red Mountain Ciel du Cheval from Vashon Island. Bon appetit--or is it bon voyage?
Tip 3: Sometimes you've got to blend in to stand out.
The absolute best Washington gift idea we have for you? Shop like the locals. Or at least talk to the locals. Some of our best discoveries have emerged from conversations with people--customers, current merchants, heck, even our founder Laura's hairdresser--about cool new products or incredible vendors. We also strive to meet our makers; we've visited booths at Urban Craft Uprising, Renegade Craft Fair, and even more niche events to connect with the merchants who share our values, like Lindsay Lawrence, the sailor-turned-sustainable entrepreneur behind Metamorphic Gear's durable, stylish bags crafted from upcycled sail materials, or John Choe, designer behind That Black Dot, whose modern Joybar kitchen towels add a hint of sophisticated wit anywhere they're displayed.
Inspired yet? Consider us your resource for the most compelling Washington-inspired gifts, whether you're shopping for a move-in gift for clients who just bought their first house in Ballard, or creating a gift basket of gourmet Seattle treats for your Midwestern in-laws who visit every chance they get.

Marseille confirm Deschamps exit
Marseille have announced that Didier Deschamps has left the club, with the news likely to make him outright favourite to replace Laurent Blanc as the France coach.
• Blanc steps down as France coach
Ligue 1 club Marseille said Deschamps had left by mutual agreement and, in a statement, revealed that the decision had come after uncertainty over his position earlier in the summer. The news followed reports that the 43-year-old had told officials he wanted to leave Marseille, where he had been in charge for three years and served as captain during his playing career.
The Marseille statement said: "Didier Deschamps was received on May 23 by club officials to prepare for the 2012-2013 season. "Didier Deschamps stated his desire to leave, and the terms of his departure were considered. In the days that followed, Didier Deschamps repeatedly confirmed that he was and remained the coach.
"Olympique de Marseille and Didier Deschamps have finally decided, by mutual agreement, not to continue working together for the 2012-2013 season."
The club thanked Deschamps for his work and wished him good luck in the future, adding: "Didier Deschamps thanks Olympique de Marseille for their support throughout these last three seasons."
Deschamps led Marseille to the Ligue 1 title as well as the Coupe de la Ligue in 2009-10, his first season in charge. They were league runners-up the following year, and retained the cup.
However, the former Monaco manager and his side suffered a disappointing season last time around, enduring a run of 14 games without a win as they ended up in tenth place.
Blanc left his position as France coach on Saturday, opting not to remain after the disappointing quarter-final defeat against Spain, which followed reports of infighting in the France camp and was the prelude to a public spat between Samir Nasri and journalists.
Fabrizio Ravanelli, who played for OM for two years from 1998, has put his name forward as a potential replacement for Deschamps.
The 43-year-old, currently working as reserve team coach at Juventus, told Le Parisien: "I have had no official contact with the club but, yes, I am dreaming of the challenge of OM."
He has not yet taken charge of a senior team but said: "We must start somewhere in life! Laurent Blanc started one day with Bordeaux, Monaco Deschamps, Di Matteo Chelsea, Montella at Roma... I really hope they give me my chance."

Granny saves mugger
That was incredible. However, your title isn't quite correct since no one can save anyone. All we can do is witness to them, and God does the saving.
Ah but scripture declares we can in a manner of speaking save them- I have no doubt the credit and glory go to God though:
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Hey my son ...... I love that . Thanks. I want to be like that Granny when I get to be 90 ..... If I live that long . She is a with it lady for sure , still drives her own car and all.

Thought everything would be great after hearing a good strong HB this week.
Had a 3 am throw up session followed by wet discharge, a glob of old brown blood followed by a small clot and some red blood... albeit a tiny amount but come on! Now I need to call Dr tomorrow. Really shouldn't miss any more work. U/S tech isn't there tomorrow which means I'll have to go to hospital if they want me to have u/s.
Ugh I just want it to be ok
Sorry for the negative posts, I just know you ladies understand the crazy that can come out in situations like this ...

Under "GARMIN Data Transfer" there are several selections for "Transfer Mode": These are: Host Request Almanac Request Proximity Request Routes Request Tracks Request Waypoints Send Almanac Send Proximity Send Routes Send Tracks Send Waypoints I tried each selection above and no data was transferred. I'm using a USB to Serial converter to connect to the device. I loaded the serial firmware for the connection. I don't have an older laptop with a serial port. Do you think this might be a factor? Thanks, - Gary
Hi Dan, Thanks for the response. Under "Comm", "Serial Data Format" I have the following options for communication: GARMIN Data Transfer GARMIN DGPS NMEA In/NEMA Out Text Out RTCM In RTCM In/NEMA Out RTCM In/Text Out None Those are the available Serial Data Formats available on the Garmin GPSMAP 176C under Communications. Thanks for your help! - Gary
zman posted a topic in EasyGPSI have a Garmin GPSMAP 176C chart plotting receiver unit. I have a ".gpx" file from a friend that recorded waypoints going through a channel area. I can open the file with no problem using your EasyGPS app. However, when I attempt to send the file to my GPSMAP 176C (through the Garmin interface cable and serial port on my laptop), I constantly get a "GPS Error" message as follows: "This program received data it could not understand. Make sure your GPS receiver's interface mode is set to GARMIN or HOST WAITING. NEMA output should be turned off". Click Help for further assistance. I initially set the "Serial Data Format" to "Garmin Data Transfer" and set "Transfer Mode" to "Request Waypoints". The waypoints do not download to my GPS. The message at the bottom of the GPS screen states "receiving waypoints", but no waypoints are received. I have tried various settings on the Interface Tab section from the instruction manual, but I cannot successfully "Send" the ".gpx" file to the GPS device using your "EasyGPS" app. Is there something I'm missing? Are there other setup parameters on my Garmin GPSMAP 176C chart plotter that I am missing? Thank you! - Gary

- In the Red Records
Ten years ago the Intelligence released their debut album, Boredom and Terror, and instantly asserted themselves as one of Seattle's best bands. (The group won the Stranger music Genius award in 2011.) Now you have the chance to get a new vinyl copy of B&T through the good graces of In the Red Records, which is reissuing it next week in remastered, gatefold 2XLP form. It includes Let's Toil, a bonus CD that came with the long-out-of-print Narnack Records reissue.
Boredom and Terror hooks you right out of the gate with concise, catchy, caustic garage rock songs that radiate the trenchant, suave dourness of the Fall and Swell Maps. The Intelligence's garage rock bypasses Nuggets bands' teenage lust and frustration for a more sardonic, self-deprecating worldview, courtesy of leader and sole constant member Lars Finberg. In a much better world, these weirdly hummable tunes would be sung by millions as they traveled to their dead-end jobs.
The Stranger asked Finberg how he feels about Boredom and Terror, a decade after its creation.
"I haven't seen the physical copy yet, but I am excited to. Erin Sullivan from the A Frames dug up his original art and that was re-photographed with additional pieces that didn't make it into the CD and his wife/Dragnet Records historian Laura Sullivan Cassidy made a photo collage of the band from that era for the color gatefold (members of A Frames, Popular Shapes, Dutchess and the Duke, Dreamsalon, etc.), and it's finally been put together as a double LP as it was originally intended, but I was talked out of. (For good reason, they work better as shorter individual albums.)
"It has been remastered so it's got better bass and less hiss. When In the Red sent me the mixes to check, I was struck by how well it holds up and happy that it sounds like the 'modern' music I like now, ONLY BETTER!
"But, yes, I am really pleased with it and I would likely cringe at what I was wearing 10 years ago, but musically it sounds like what we are still making today, and that was my goal. 'Always different, always the same'—John Peel on the Intelligence… oops, I mean the Fall."
You can pre-order Boredom and Terror here.

The year is drawing to a close, and so is our countdown to our ultimate song of 2015.
Judging from the list we've mainly loved what Sweden had to offer us this year, and the artist listed at number four, will only reconfirm our findings.
Now Tove Lo had us already excited last year when she released her single Habits last year. (She was even in our countdown list for it) Since, she released her debut album 'Queen of the Couds' internationally and she's teamed up with fellow Swede Alesso for that dance anthem 'Heroes (We Could be).
What appealed to us so much about Tove is her no-nonsense, core-lyrics which completely came to their own in her most recent single 'Timebomb'. If the lyrics weren't enough, the production and constant change of speed in the rhythm, blew us away completely. What a song!

One of the central tenets of the pro-science world is that "correlation does not imply causation" – but it is misused and frequently abused by many writers. Frequently, those trying to push a position, like anti-vaccine, will immediately assume if we can show correlation, then we can automatically leap to causation. Thus, in their world, correlation implies causation. However, real science demands both evidence of correlation and separate line evidence of causation, in which case, we can conclude that correlation implies causation. It all depends on your quality of evidence.
Conflating causation and correlation is somewhat different than the logical fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc, where one thinks one event follows the first event because of the existence of the first event. I'm sure all good luck charms and superstitions, like walking under a ladder, are related to the post hoc fallacy. But, if I walk under a ladder, then trip on a black cat, and then crash into a mirror, I don't immediately blame the initial act of walking under the ladder. I just assume I'm clumsy.
Correlation and causation are a very critical part of scientific research. Basically, correlation is the statistical relationship between two random sets of data. The closer the relationship, the higher the correlation. However, without further data, correlation may not imply causation, that the one set of data has some influence over the other.
Correlation implies causation – an example
Let's invent a massive study to investigate car accidents after vaccinations. In our imaginary study, we find that the rate of automobile accidents with a child in the back seat after a child is vaccinated is higher than the background rate of automobile accidents with children in the back seat who aren't vaccinated. Does the vaccination itself cause the higher rate of accidents? Well, I suppose you could make an argument that a post-vaccinated child is still screaming or something, distracting the driver, but that variable could happen with unvaccinated children just screaming because they didn't get their GMO-free, organic, free-range ice cream cone.
But did the vaccine itself cause the accident? Or is it some other factor? Like the driver being stressed because of going to the pediatrician for the vaccine because she read all that misinformation from the anti-vaccine groupies? Or because her child is a bit fussy after vaccination, because that happens? In other words, we have data, but it really has no meaning without establishing a reasonable level of causality.
So when you read an article in one of the anti-vaccine websites that X number of girls died because of the HPV vaccine, or that because the rate of autism has increased while the number of vaccines has increased, the increased vaccination caused the increased rate of autism, immediately, one of us (you know, the pro-science skeptics) will proclaim correlation does not imply causation.
The problem with that proclamation is that it's too simple. Like everything in science there is more to the understanding of relationship between correlation and causation than simply dismissing it. On the other hand, we need evidence of correlation and causation to make any claim either way about correlation or causation.
For example, the whole science behind vaccines shows strong correlation throughout the history of vaccines. We know that the smallpox vaccine eradicated smallpox, not because we had direct evidence of causality between the vaccine and the eradication of smallpox, it's because we had overwhelming correlation along with other types of direct evidence that established causality. And it is this other evidence that is actually more powerful in establishing correlation and causation, or, alternatively, that the evidence of correlation has no relationship to causality.
When correlation implies causation?
So how do we know if correlation does not imply causation – alternatively, when do we know it does imply it? There are seven additional tests of the correlation data that could be used to determine if there is also causality.
- The data must be strong. If one observes correlation between X and Y, causation can only be established the increase in Y in response to X is statistically substantial. In the early research in the links between smoking and lung cancer, it was found that the risk of cancer was 5-10X higher in smokers, a clinically significant increase. If we're looking at vaccinations, causation can only be shown if there is a substantial increase in a risk factor compared to the general population. The larger the increase in risk relative to the background (unvaccinated) population, the better your data supporting causation.
- The data must be consistent. If one shows data that could imply causation, it must be consistent across a number of studies with different populations (gender, ethnicity, income, age). Again, going back to the early research in smoking and lung cancer, the first two studies looking at the link were done separately in two different continents (and this being the 1940's and 50's, information sharing was limited at best) but showed nearly the same results.
- The data must be specific. The data must predict causality, very precisely. Again, back to lung cancer and smoking, the data showed that smoking was linked to one type of cancer, in the lungs, at the precise location where smoking enters the body. One cannot show causality with general data, simply because the data is too imprecise.
- The data must be temporal. To show causality, one needs to show association grows stronger over time. For example, the longer one smoked, the greater the increase in risk for lung cancer. Alternatively, if the risk of lung cancer reduces over time after cessation of smoking, that is also an indicator of causality.
- The data must possess a dose response effect. That is, one can show that as you consume or receive more of X, the specific Y response increases. Back to smoking – the more cigarettes smoked, the higher the risk of lung cancer. The temporal effect, mentioned above, and dose response effect are often interrelated. So, if we were to examine a particular specific adverse event to vaccines, then the rate of that specific risk must increase in a linear fashion with additional numbers of vaccines.
- The causal effect must be plausible. If we look at smoking again, the early researchers could show a plausible mechanistic link between an inhaled carcinogen and malignant change in the lung's cells. This is an important facet of determining causality in biological systems. When one argues that GMO foods may cause cancer, how plausible is that? Is there some biologically plausible mechanism between the GMO food and one of 200 or so different cancers? To be factual, there are precious few environmental factors that cause cancers, and those that are known are not implausible. When someone says that vaccines cause autism, is it even plausible? Is there some mechanism between stimulating the immune system through immunization and causing autism? Plausibility doesn't mean we take the easy way and just say, "well, just because we don't know of a mechanism doesn't mean there isn't one." Actually, no you can't say that, it's a logical fallacy. We know a lot about human physiology – it's not a giant mystery wrapped around an enigma. Human physiology is complex and detailed, so we can envision what is plausible or what isn't. And what doesn't exist is a plausible mechanism between vaccination and autism.
- The data must be coherent. Other types of evidence, like experimental ones in other models, ought to support the causality. Going back to smoking, the tar from cigarettes was painted on the back of mice, which induced tumors. Moreover, there was other evidence being found in the 1950's and 1960's that smoking was associated with increases in cancers of the lip, throat, tongue and esophagus. So there are separate lines of evidence that point back to the same causal factor – cigarette smoking.
Thus, correlation by itself does not imply causation. But when one gathers other evidence, that requires separate studies and analysis, correlation becomes one of the fundamental and robust pieces of evidence that establish causality. So if someone says "correlation implies causation," or, alternatively, "correlation does not imply causation," your response should be that it depends on what other evidence either supports or dismisses causality. It's all about the evidence.
Like I wrote previously, research isn't easy. One just can't state that they see an observed correlation, then immediately state that one causes the other. They can't see an increase in the autism rate, along side an increase in the number of vaccinations, then state, after looking at those numbers for an hour, that vaccines cause autism. You can't without further, more complex, data that supports the hypothesis.
Does one need each of those seven additional data points to show causality? Yes, if you want to make a bold assertion backed by robust evidence. Again, those who try to oversimplify the process are the ones with the agenda. Those who try to make it easy are the ones who a trying to find data that proves their dogma and beliefs, rather than trying to determine what the data actually states. The data should drive the conclusion, as opposed to taking the easy course–searching for data to establish a preconceived conclusion.
Research is hard work. And if a researcher, or some random person on the internet, wants to state that correlation implies causation, then they need to provide a lot more high quality evidence of each. It's not easy, but it can be done.

What kind of external/mag mount antennas are you using? Pros/Cons and would you recommend?
I stole one of Stevers a long time ago. The antenna is by far the worst part but it has a funky thread on it.
I'm going to try the Tram 1185 mag mount. For the price I guess I'm not expecting a miracle, but it'll at least hopefully be a bit better.
I bought one on ebay shipped from China for under $10. It has worked great. I can get more details on it when I get back home
edit: it is a Nagoya NA-UT108 SMA-F SF Dual Band Mobile Radio Antenna The magnetic base is small but has been strong and never tipped over yet. The antenna itself is really thin but overall it seems to work good and it has the correct plug for the baofeng.
Last edited by Brian1; 11-08-2015 at 08:54 AM.
I went with the Tram and the adapter plug thing. I haven't installed it in the truck yet, so no news yet.
I don't really like how the mag mount antenna leaves cable strung across the roof, but haven't figured out a non-duct tape solution yet.
I also don't like the in-dash cup holders in my truck. So, I pulled them out and made a place to mount my hand held.
I have a 20" swa to vhf adapter so everything tucks away. I still need to make a clip to attach the hand mic to and that'll be that for the time being. I'm planning to get a small multi-band transceiver and mount it in the cup holder space down the road so this is temporary and will turn in to a trim plate once the mobile is mounted.
