TALK about a classic catch.
A vendor has been hailed a local hero after catching a one-year-old baby who had fallen from a first floor window in China.
The incident happened in Zhongshan City of Guangdong Province.
Local media reported the baby crawled out onto the window ledge during a heavy thunderstorm.
Several passers-by realised the baby was in peril — among them the vendor who made the catch, who was identified as Mr Li.
"I didn't think too much at the time, I was just afraid of failing to catch him," Li told local media.
"Some people put down cardboard to avoid serious injuries to the baby if I failed to catch him."
The baby was returned safely to his mother.

Finding the right car finance deal for your carPosted by admin - 12/01/11 at 02:01:49 pm
Car finance is a very important part of owning a car and car finance deals thus play a huge role in this regard. By car finance deals, one means the various credit products available to let you afford the car of your choice. With profitable car finance deals, you can avail low Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which would enable you to pay up for a more expensive car in lieu of a flexible budget. You have to look into certain factors in order to avail the best car finance deal.
The most significant factor regarding car finance is interest rate. Although each and every car company would present you a price chart as per your budget, you should compare all those in order to optimize it and come up with the best possible option. However, your choice of a new car and a used car would largely determine car finance deals. Once you calculate your incoming and outgoings and the amount of money that you would be able to keep aside for the purpose of replay, you task of budgeting would become very easy.
You would benefit to a great extent if you avail the service of finance professional. Such a professional can help you set your car finance deals at a low interest rate. Greater the number of features, higher would be the rate of interest. Fewer features would always guarantee a proportionately low rate of interest. Rates of interest keep varying with the prevailing market conditions. You can even get your best car finance deals with bankruptcy!
Another important issue influencing car finance deals is your decision of the car you would purchase. You need to look at the various models and their features and specifications. The size of the car, choice of fuel such as whether petroleum, gas or diesel would determine your car finance deals. In fact, car finance deals vary on the basis of a car's make, body and class. Being a luxury car or a casual one would influence your deals greatly.
Carrying out a detailed survey is necessary for availing the best possible car finance deal. Having a detailed knowledge on the price range of various models in the market would let you freeze your choice. Factors like mileage, year of the vehicle become important in making decision. Keeping an eye on websites and magazines highlighting cars can keep you updated. You should never opt for the specific car finance deal you have been offered. You must carry out a rigorous survey before giving in to any deal. Extended warranties, opportunities for free upgrades, low interest rate and some extras too should be your target when you plan to go for an expensive purchase like a car!

How to make wine taste better: Plonk a hefty price tag on it
WANT to fool your guests into thinking the cheap wine you serve is a special vintage? Just tell them it's expensive.
Friends enjoy a nice glass of wine
Research out today found that people rate wine better if they are told it is pricey.
Experts said price prejudice can blind people to the actual taste of wine and even change their brain function, making them experience so-called plonk in the same physical way as expensive bottles.
A study in the Journal of Marketing Research has shown that preconceived beliefs may create a placebo effect so strong that the actual chemistry of the brain changes.
"Studies have shown that people enjoy identical products such as wine or chocolate more if they have a higher price tag," said study co-author Bernd Webber, of the University of Bonn in Germany.
"However, almost no research has examined the neural and psychological processes required for such marketing placebo effects to occur."
Participants in the study were told they would consume five wines priced at £55, £28, £22, £6 and £3 while their brains were scanned.
In reality, volunteers consumed only three different wines with two different prices.
Another experiment used labels to generate positive or negative expectations of the pleasantness of a milkshake.
Some consumed identical milkshakes but thought they would be either organic or regular; others consumed identical milkshakes but thought they would be either light or regular.
Studies have shown that people enjoy identical products such as wine or chocolate more if they have a higher price tag
Participants showed significant effect of price and taste prejudices, both in how they rated the taste as well as in their measurable brain activity.
The brain scan readings related in part to specific areas of the brain that differ from person to person.
These differences are also associated with known differences in personality traits.
The authors were able to further determine that people who were strong reward-seekers or who were low in physical self-awareness were also more susceptible to having their experience shaped by prejudices about the product.
The study concluded: "Understanding the underlying mechanisms of this placebo effect provides marketers with powerful tools.
"Marketing actions can change the very biological processes underlying a purchasing decision, making the effect very powerful indeed."

Michael Rake, deputy chairman of British bank Barclays PLC, said he had no plans to resign, after the Financial Times reported he would depart as soon as was feasible and probably within six months.
"Contrary to this morning's media report and, as I have made clear, I have no present intention to stand down from the Barclays board," Mr. Rake said on Friday.
Mr. Rake, chairman of telecoms company BT Group and airline easyJet, ruled himself out of the running for the chairmanship of Barclays in July, a role he had been favourite to assume.
New chairman David Walker has made clear he wants to add non-executive directors to bolster Barclays' board and will work closely with new Chief Executive Antony Jenkins to improve the culture across the bank.
Barclays lost a number of senior executives, including chief executive Bob Diamond, in the fallout from the Libor rate-rigging scandal which engulfed the bank and led to a £290-million ($468-million U.S.) settlement with regulators.
Mr. Walker, who takes up his role in November, has begun to reshape the board, picking former insurance boss Tim Breedon as a new non-executive director.

Ima Hogg Set a High Bar for Houston Philanthropists
It was 2 a.m. and Alexander "Mike" McLanahan's phone was ringing.
Ima Hogg was calling.
"Mr. McLanahan, I'm embarrased to be calling at 2 a.m., but you know how it is, I can never be certain about tomorrow," said Hogg, who was then in her 80s. "I just want you to know that a John Smibert painting will be coming up at auction next week. It will sell for around $500,000. I will put up $100,000 and, Mr. McLanahan, you will know how to raise the other $400,000. We must have that Smibert."
He raised it, of course, because that's what you did when the city's grand dame called.

Got my meds. Finally!
I talked with the nurse at the Doctor's office, and they had a 14 day supply of the Enjuvia they said I could have. Talked with CVS, and they still had the 30 days of Cenestin. (The two meds are interchangeable). So between the two, I now have six weeks of meds. A little breathing room, at least.
The Pharmacist at CVS told me she had checked directly with their vendor, and was told that they were hoping the manufacturing issues would be cleared up no later than October. Also, she said they still had 15 bottles of Cenestin to sell or dispose of, so she ordered a bottle of 100 to have on hand. Hopefully she will still have some at the end of six weeks when I need a refill.
But at least I have not completely run out. YET.

York 800 Flotilla
12:01am 26th August 2012
City of York Council's York 800 Flotilla will launch on the River Ouse on Sunday 26th August with York's Paralympic Lantern taking pride of place.
The rescheduled event will feature over 200 boats of varying shapes and sizes and variously powered by oars, engines or paddles, cruising the Ouse from 12.30pm until 4pm.
York's Paralympic Lantern will be borne by one of York's disabled sports people on one of the hundreds of boats creating the flotilla.
Amongst it will be crews of disabled sailors from Sunderland and York sailing in Canadian canoes, who will help raise the profile of disabled sporting achievements and opportunities in the city.
The flotilla will be lead by canoes, including members of York's Canoe Club, and then rowers, many from York City Rowing Club whose members include Olympic medal winner Tom Ransley. These will be followed by bigger powered boats, such as the cruisers of Naburn Marina and York Motor Yacht Club, and then will arrive the narrow boats and barges - including a rare German-built Amphicar - with a number of inflatable craft ending the parade.
The boats will include craft from Goole and Doncaster as well as those belonging to members of Ripon Boat Club - one of the UK's largest inland waterway boat clubs - and the North Riding Branch of the Inland Waterways Association, many of which have navigated the region's waterways to get to York and support this exceptional event.
The flotilla will process on the right hand side of the river from Naburn towards Clifton where the boats will turn around to take another turn back through the city centre. People will be able to watch and cheer the flotilla - and the lantern - from any safe vantage point along the riverbanks between Naburn Marina and Clifton Ings.
The city's civic party and special guests will be aboard the first boat to appear at 12:50 and will moor at Queen's Staith from where they will view and judge the best-dresses boat. The first canoes are likely to pass them at around 13:00.
Cllr Sonja Crisp, City of York Council Cabinet member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, commented:
"The flotilla will be a spectacular addition to the city's York 800 celebrations, a grand finale to our Festival of the Rivers and gives added sparkle to the Bank Holiday weekend. It's an event no-one should miss and will be one of the highlights of this memorable year.
"Having the Paralympic Lantern on board the York 800 Flotilla helps shed more light on the achievement of York's disabled athletes and sportspeople and the opportunities open to them in the city."
There will also be family entertainment in Tower Gardens and on the Eye of York including a barrel organ, demonstrations and rides from 11:00, while the city's riverside bars and restaurants will be open for diners wanting a window on the river.
Originally scheduled for Sunday 8th July during Charter Weekend, the flotilla had to be postponed because of high river levels after prolonged heavy rainfall.

Posted by Nick33 (as ),
My infection was suspected and confirmed by three doctors at the A&E. I was admitted for treatment and allowed to go home in just four days. Teams of doctors visited me everyday. My medication was given regularly. All nurses from student to professionals gave me an exceptional/professional care. Perhaps the paperwork could be less.

The ISX has been open to international investors since 2007. The RATE you are talking about is the the PRICE of the initial public offering of this stock. There have been others before, this Telecom IPO is just another in a series. It does not imply a revaluation.
12/22/2012 06:37:22 am
Definitely agree. All this ISX/IPO talk means nothing. It's merely one company and any supposed 'deadline' is just another 'can' that can be kicked down the road with a new date set.

BOBGETZ6 Have you a definite that we are going to be taxed on the dinar currency exchange to my knowledege that have yet to be established. Until that time if any I will not concern my self on paying taxes. As far a Mr O and taxes I am not concern about the tax how ever it turns out. God givith God Provide. If we ever make it to a cash out most will have more money than they will ever need. just in case of a tax I have computed a certain percentage to be put aside for tax and if not I will just give to the needy. God have opened this door for me and I am greatful for it. by the power vested in me by God my least worries is paying taxes. Also O is also my least worry how ever he govern will not effect me for I am grounded in God's power as he has promised me he would provide all my needs. Let Us Seek God Purpose In Our lives and not borrow problems before problems come. Come Unto Me He That Are Heavy Laden I will Give You Rest. Amen.

New currency - everyone needs to have a $100 bill handy by their TV armchair. Study the colors (or lack of anything much other than green) on the current bills. Next time you see TV showing $100 bills being printed with Ben's big head in the middle - look at all the orange print to the right of his face. There is a reason they are only showing the right side. Look at the current $100 bill - Federal Reserve Note is NOT printed across the top like all other denominations (look at $1, $5, $10 & $20's). Instead Federal Reserve Note is off to the LEFT side of the bill, the part that TV never shows of these new bills. Does make one go "Hmmm.....", doesn't it?

Without a doubt it will be taxed. People have argued this for years, that it won't be but just the mere word "investment" in Prez Order 13303 pretty much (in my book anyway) says to me that this will be taxed. And just knowing our govt., they're gonna squeeze everything they can out of this.

I recently (within the last year) had 3 m./c The longest was when baby was 9.5 weeks along. I got a + at 4 weeks, and blood tests showed my levels within normal but by 9.5 weeks my u/s showed baby was not forming anymore and had likely stopped growing weeks earlier. It took another 2 weeks and over 2 weeks of bleeding for everything to come out. It was absolutly unreal. I actually had to replace a VERY thick pillowtop thanks to it happening. I bassically spent 4 days on the toilet letting everything drain. It was like water.
I still got + tests for 3 weeks after..
Here (In Canada) they send you for bloodwork and tell you do not TTC for 3 months AFTER the levels go to 0 again.
I'd assume it's left over but I'd make a call to your doc just incase.
I didn't need a D&C but it was more painful then my no drug natural childbirth.
Best wishes and I hope you get your answers and a true

What exactly tells you it is the onboard display chip causing your problems?
What's also caused the PC to not boot now - the same display issue?

I know this has been an eternity, but I just got my computer back up after a final crash in July! Thought I would just let you know that it was not the graphics card that was at issue. I kept having different things go wrong and Asus finally decided it had to be the mobo. Took a while to get everything out off the board, send in, get back to me a new board and then reassemble with a few flares of my chronic illness interupting the process. Guess the good news is it only cost me postage for the board and I have a better-than-new computer...so all's working. I will have to give great kudos to everyone for trying to help, and would say Asus customer service is way awesome. Thanks all.

|Levi Strauss
|Löb Strauß
February 26, 1829
Buttenheim, Kingdom of Bavaria
|September 26, 1902
(aged 73)
San Francisco, California, U.S
|Known for
|Founding the first company to manufacture riveted blue jeans
Levi Strauss (, born Löb Strauß, German: [lø:p '?t?a?s]; February 26, 1829 - September 26, 1902) was a German-American businessman who founded the first company to manufacture blue jeans. His firm, Levi Strauss & Co., began in 1853 in San Francisco, California.[1][2]
Levi Strauss was born in Buttenheim, on February 26, 1829, in the Franconian region of the Kingdom of Bavaria, in the German Confederation, to an Ashkenazi Jewish family.[3] He was the son of Hirsch Strauss and his second wife Rebecca Strauss.[4][5] At the age of 18, Strauss, his mother and two sisters traveled to the United States to join his brothers Jonas and Louis, who had begun a wholesale dry goods business in New York City called J. Strauss Brother & Co.[6]
Levi's sister Fanny and her husband David Stern moved to St. Louis, Missouri, while Levi went to live in Louisville, Kentucky, and sold his brothers' supplies in Kentucky.[7] In January 1853, Levi Strauss became an American citizen.[8]
The family decided to open a West Coast branch of the family dry goods business in San Francisco, which was the commercial hub of the California Gold Rush. Levi was chosen to represent the family and he took a steamship for San Francisco, arriving in early March 1853, where he joined his sister's family.[9]
Strauss opened his dry goods wholesale business as Levi Strauss & Co. and imported fine dry goods--clothing, bedding, combs, purses, handkerchiefs--from his brothers in New York. He made tents, and later jeans. Levi lived with Fanny's growing family.[10]
Jacob Davis, one of Strauss's customers and one of the inventors of riveted denim pants in 1871,[11] went into business with Strauss to produce blue jeans. The two men patented the new style of work pants in 1873.[12]
Levi Strauss died on September 26, 1902, in San Francisco at the age of 73. He never married, and left the business to his four nephews, Jacob, Sigmund, Louis, and Abraham Stern, the sons of his sister Fanny and her husband David Stern. He also left bequests to a number of charities, such as the Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum and the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum. Before his death, he had also established scholarships at the University of California Berkeley (Levi Strauss Scholarships).[13] Levi's fortune was estimated to be around $6 million[14] ($164 million in 2014 dollars). He was buried in Colma, California.
The Levi Strauss museum in Buttenheim, Germany, is located in the 1687 house where Strauss was born. There is also a Visitors Center at Levi Strauss & Co. headquarters in San Francisco, which features historical exhibits. The Levi Strauss Foundation started with an 1897 donation to the University of California, Berkeley.[15][16]
Levi Strauss, one of the last of the oldtime merchants of San Francisco. and one of the best-known men from the most southerly limit of California to Puget Sound.

Wissert Early Origins

Another William Wishart was a monk at St. Andrews in 1250. The family also held the lands of Kenny Murchardyn in 1279. Sir John Wishart rendered homage in 1296 to King Edward I of England on his brief conquest of Scotland.

The Great Migration
The freedom, opportunity, and land of the North American colonies beckoned. There, Scots found a place where they were generally free from persecution and where they could go on to become important players in the birth of new nations. Some fought in the American War of Independence, while others went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these Scottish settlers have been able to recover their lost national heritage in the last century through highland games and Clan societies in North America. Among them:

Succubus Heat
Richelle Mead
Kensington, Jun 2009, $15.00
In Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid remains stunned by the betrayal of her boyfriend writer Seth Mortensen who slept with her best friend Maddie; make that ex boyfriend and ex BFF (see SUCCUBUS DREAM). However, her boss archdemon Jerome is tired of her negativity as a succubus must be upbeat and her inability to suck souls as that is why a succubus lives so he exiles her to Vancouver to work for a less tolerant rival with instructions to perform industrial espionage.
However, back in Seattle, a Satanist cult has performed some spectacular seemingly supernatural events. Several of her peers and paranormal associates have vanished including Jerome. Currently more human than hell spawn, Georgina knows she must act starting with finding and saving Jerome before civil war breaks out over who's in charge. Also Seth wants a second chance with his beloved to include sex; she considers going for it with her on top since she no longer can suck his soul from him.
The latest Succubus urban fantasy (see SUCCUBUS DREAMS and SUCCUBUS BLUES) is an engaging Seattle thriller starring the intelligent but frazzled Georgina. Nothing goes right for the heroine as she has lost her skill, her boyfriend, her best friend, and her boss. However, instead of wallowing in self pity, she searches for Jerome to keep the political-industrial hell spawn complex from overt hostilities. Although the story line contains too many cul de sacs, which in fairness adds realism to the heroine's probe, fans of the series will enjoy Georgina amateur sleuth.

Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by BryPaulD, Oct 4, 2004.
Should I dethach my lawn? Or Rake it?
It all depends - are you looking at the umdecomposed organic matter that is laying on the soil surface by the crown of the plants?
Or, have you pulled a soil core sample and noticed an amount of thatch present in the soil profile?
Soil type, plant species, climatic conditions, cultural practices, all play an important part in determing when/why to remove thatch from the edaphic environment.
To answer your message title - No.
I didn't do a soil test. I was looking at the matter on top and the "dead grasses tangled underneath the good grass
Here's an old thread that may help you understand what thatch is.
Thanks groundskeeper. Good thread. I bookmarked it
how much money do you have?
I sure am glad you indexed that one Jim. It is by far the Best explanation that I have learned from.
I wish these were put in an index like Eric ELM had. It was like a FAQ section of explanations.
Thanks again.

The audience which heard this happy news, at a fundraising event for Bredesen at the East Memphis residence of city councilman Jack Sammons, included many representatives of the University of Memphis, who hatched the relocation project earlier this year in an effort to shore up the schools long-term accreditation.
The American Bar Association had put the university on notice that its present law school facilities on Central Avenue were considered inadequate.
The move, into the landmark Post Office building on Front St., which would be extensively renovated for the purpose, would ultimately cost some $41 million, said Law School dean Jim Smoot, one of several university officials to have lobbied the governor on the point.
I think this is what you call a full-court press, said the governor about the university groups efforts.
Bredesen kept a smiling and relaxed demeanor despite the presence across the street of demonstrators protesting his paring of the TennCare rolls, a move he defended again Thursday night as necessary for budgetary reasons.
Inviting me is one way to get demonstrators to show up at the end of your driveway, joked the governor, who said he had spoken with several of the protesters and urged the attendees at the fundraiser to do so. These are good people, he said.
The governors appearance in Memphis came at the end of a day in which the members of his recently appointed Citizens Advisory Panel on Ethics held the last of several statewide meetings at the universitys Fogelman Center.
Presided over by former state Attorney General Mike Cody and former state Senator Ben Atchley of Knoxville, the meeting was attended by several local legislators, including state Senators Steve Cohen of Memphis and Roy Herron of Dresden, and state Representatives Paul Stanley and Brian Kelsey of Germantown and Dolores Grisham of Covington.
Cohen called for ratcheting up the current "cup-of-coffee" law to the end of eliminating all lobbyist-funded favors for members of the General Assembly -- a point that was seconded by Stanley and Kelsey.
Asked how much legislation was currently initiated by lobbyists rather than members of the Assembly, Cohen answered bluntly, "Almost all of it."
Grisham, who said she and two other relatively short-term Republican legislators shared the services of a single staffer, called the absence of adequate staffing for legislators "unacceptable." It meant, she said,that increasingly legislators are forced to use lobbyists as sources of advice on legislation. "The good ones will give you both sides," she said.
At one point, panelist Lyle Reid, the former chief justice of the state Supreme Court, probed into the basic function of lobbyists. Among those called upon to answer was current lobbyist and former legislator Rufus Jones of Memphis, who provided one of the afternoon's best laugh lines.
"The first thing you've got to do is get a client," Jones said. "You can go up there and lobby all day long, but if you don't have a client, you're in trouble!"
The panel will shortly report its findings and recommendations to Governor Bredesen.
Her Republican opponent, Terry Roland, , refused to concede, however, telling a group of supporters at his Millington headquarters, Were still in the race, and promising to turn things over to the people who know how to handle things like this" -- presumably a team of both political and legal advisers.
A spokesman for the Roland campaign would subsequently promise to contest the outcome, saying, "We're going to bring in a shitload of attorneys," both from Tennessee and Washington. One of them, he said, might be former congressman Ed Bryant, now a U.S. Senate candidate.
The course of the election drama resembled somewhat the on-again, off-again, back-and-forth progress of the scaled-down East Coast hurricane, Ophelia, that bore the apparent winners name. The lead changed hands between Ford and Roland several times during the toting up Thursday evening, as she strove to overcome what had been a 450-vote lead held by Roland after the conclusion of early voting. Going into the counting of the last one of 60 precincts to be vouched for, Ford had been down by almost 80 votes.We were out at five minutes to 7, still scaring up votes for Ophelia, said co-campaign manager David Upton about events earlier in what was, by any and all standards, a very tense evening.
Final unofficial totals, including early voting and absentee ballots and all 60 precincts from Thursday's voting were:
Ford - 4332
Roland - 4320
Perennial also-ran candidate Robert "Prince Mongo" Hodges, running as an independent, had a total of 89 votes.
As push had come to shove late in the campaign, luminaries from both major parties had been pressed into service for the two standard-bearers. Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton led a phalanx of local Democrats doing last-minute robocalls for Ford in her effort to accede to the seat held for 30 years by her brother, John Ford. Meanwhile, state Republican chairman Bob Davis of Nashville, who was present Thursday night at Roland's Millington headquarters, personally took a hand in the GOP nominee's campaign. The seat had come open in late May when John Ford, freshly indicted in the Tennessee Waltz scandal and under fire for months due to other investigations, abruptly resigned it.
Much statewide attention was focused on the Ford-Roland race for the light it might shed on a variety of looming political subjects: the state of the Ford-family campaign apparatus; the possible shift of power in the General Assembly; the signals the outcome would send for races to come, including that of Senator-elect Ford's nephew, U.S. Rep. Harold Ford, Jr., now a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
Long considered a stronghold for the Ford family and for Democratic candidates in general, District 29, which hugs the Mississippi River-front for almost the length of Shelby County, has a largely African-American population, but Roland's Republican team put forth intense efforts, especially in the Millington area.
Late in the game, it had become obvious to everyone on both sides that either candidate could win. Early Thursday, weather forecasts called for intermittent showers, a prospect that was thought to be more threatening for Ford, dependent on a working-class, less mobile constituency. But the rains never came.
Thus did Ophelia Ford, for the second time in a month, squeak by an opponent; her victory over state Rep. Henri Brooks, runner-up in last month's special Democratic primary, a multi-candidate affair, was by 20 votes an outcome Brooks opted not to challenge legally after an appeal was denied by the state Democratic Party.
As indicated, Roland is unlikely to be so acquiescent. Alleging that a voting-machine cartridge was suspiciously missing from one of the district's precincts, a Roland ally, TeamGOP chairman Jeff Ward of adjacent Tipton County was calling for the state Senate to review the results.
And GOP chairman Davis fired off a letter Friday to state Attorney General Paul Summers asking Summers to investigate the election, citing "the alleged voting of convicted felons, unregistered voters, and an incident involving the questionable voter cartridges of the last precinct reporting."
To that, Shelby County Democratic chair Matt Kuhn, who had served as one of Ophelia Ford's last-minute robocallers, issued a formal response. "It is unfortunate that the Republican party has chosen to not accept defeat graciously and cast needless dispersions on our Election institutions," Kuhn's statement said in part. Kuhn also announced that Memphis lawyer Jim Strickland, a former party chairman, would "be prepared to issue a legal statement" as part of any subsequent process.
Dear _________,
Your WorldPerks number is ________.
As you may already have heard in media reports, Northwest
Airlines(R) has voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy process will enable Northwest to continue its transformation into a new-era carrier in keeping with the permanent changes that have affected the airline industry, such as rising labor costs and a doubling of fuel prices over the past two years.
Because we value your business and proven loyalty, I am writing
to assure you that there will be no impact on the WorldPerks(R)
program as a result of the filing. Frequent flyer mileage
accrual, redemption, and Elite benefits will remain unchanged.
Members will continue to earn and redeem miles according to the
current WorldPerks program guidelines.
The bankruptcy filing will not impact Northwests day-to-day
business operations. We remain committed to serving customers,
honoring tickets, flying a competitive schedule safely and
reliably, maintaining our WorldClubs(R) lounge program, and all
other programs and services.
All bookings will be honored, and ticketing policies remain
unchanged. Our existing marketing relationships with other
airlines remain in place.
The decision to file for bankruptcy protection is not related to
the current strike by members of the Aircraft Mechanics
Fraternal Association (AMFA). Our operation continues to run
well and we have experienced no adverse impact on our
operational performance as a result of the work stoppage.
Customers can continue to book travel on Northwest Airlines with
confidence. Although bankruptcy is never a first choice option,
it does provide the most prudent means for a restructuring that
will ensure the transformation of Northwest into a new-era
carrier that is able to compete in the near term and well into
the future.
Thank you for your continued support of Northwest Airlines. For
more information about Northwests transformation, please visit
We look forward to continuing to earn your business by providing
the outstanding service you deserve.
Doug Steenland
President and CEO
Northwest Airlines, Inc.
Speaking at a seminar on Rethinking the War on Drugs sponsored by the Public Issues Forum of Memphis, the Midtown Democrat also took an indirect swipe at U.S. Senate hopeful Harold Ford Jr., the Memphis congressman whom Cohen unsuccessfully opposed in the 1996 Democratic primary for the 9th Congressional District seat.
Cohen noted that no Tennessee congressman had voted for a bill in Congress that would have prevented federal law enforcement authorities from arresting medical-marijuana users in states where they were entitled to use marijuana by law. And I submit to you that itd be a popular thing for one of our congressmen to do, because it would say to the state of Tennessee that we had a congressman who had a brain and who had a vision and who had a heart and was trying to make a difference and not just to promote themselves to another office to do nothing except at a higher level.
Said Cohen: "Theres a purpose to being in office and thats to try to do things to make your society better and not just to advance yourself. Basically what Ive seen in my life, most politicians are just there for the next office. Theyre there for the next fundraiser, for the next round, for the next whatever. And I see it when I look to Nashville, and I see it when I look to the 9th District. And its very, very disheartening."
The full context of Cohen's remarks about Bredesen went this way: The people are so far ahead of the politicians on so many issues, its a shame, and you dont see a whole lot of politicians put their neck out on issues to make society better.I have a lot of despair right now when I look at our president. To be honest, when I look at our governor, who is bringing about a Katrina in Tennessee. Its just that the 200,000 people hes depriving of health care arent put in front of The Pyramid for the public to see it. Theyre spread out throughout this state. That is a Katrina a war, for political expediency on poor people who cant afford health care themselves and for the political agenda of a multi-millionaire who wants to be something else in life rather than the provider and giver of health care and a better, more progressive society, but wants to advance himself.
Hes going to deprive 200,000 people of health care and cost many of them their lives. Thats cruel, and its Katrina in Tennessee, and its happening now at our governors level.
Cohen, the sponsor of pending legislation that would legalize medical marijuana use for specified classes of patients, appeared at the Forum meeting along with Dr. Ethan Nadleman, founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which opposes the federal War on Drugs as both a wrong-headed policy and a failure.

In the early days, the vaccuum was helpful in calming Remy. Not that he was colicky or anything, but young infants sometimes get a little worked up and need help working themselves back down. The vaccuum noise could do that.
Now the vaccuum has the opposite effect. Even if I have him safely up in the nursery while I do a quick vaccuum down in the kitchen. Distress. Or, yesterday, when Gary vaccuumed up some sand he'd tracked indoors with Remy in the same room. Panic. Even before he turned on the machine. Just plugging it in was enough to cause worry.
This makes it difficult to get any vaccuuming done. We vaccuum infrequently as it is, but now we have an obstacle in addition to pure inertia. If you come by to visit, don't expect a spotless clean house. You're sure to be even more disappointed than usual.

The Bristol Theatre Parent Network has been set up after conversations between Pins and Needles Productions, Travelling Light Theatre Company and Theatre Bristol about the challenges of juggling parenthood with careers in theatre.This page is a forum for parents to support parents through advice, collaboration and potentially even offers of childcare to support work life balance with a more local focus than wider groups on Facebook. We hope the community built online will translate into a regular network of parents who can meet together in Bristol, attend useful events and support and mentor each other.
Following the first meeting of Bristol Theatre Parents Network last Monday Travelling Light and Theatre Bristol are in the process of developing a survey to be distributed to find out more from parents in the sector about how a group such as this could help meet the needs of parents working in the sector in Bristol.I will add findings from the initial meeting to this page. The findings from the initial meeting will be added to the page.
We need your help. We want to maintain this site for the 20,000 people who use it each month, but the technology it is built on needs serious updating. If you use the site please support us with a £3 donation, or whatever you feel able to give, so we can develop it and keep it a free and valuable resource for people who make and love theatre.
You can also give to us without costing you a penny by signing up to Easy Fundraising, so when you shop online from over 2500 retailers Theatre Bristol will receive a donation.
Raise your profile and platform your theatre practice by listing in the Directory.

Limiting the number of foreign doctors who can get visas to practice in the United States could have a significant impact on certain hospitals and states that rely on them, according to a new study.
The research, published online in JAMA this week, found that more than 2,100 U.S. employers were certified to fill nearly 10,500 physician jobs nationwide, in 2016. That represents 1.4 percent of the physician workforce overall. There were wide variations by state and employer, however.
Employers in New York, Michigan and Illinois accounted for the most H-1B visa applications for foreign physicians, nearly a third of the total. North Dakota, however, had the most applicants as a percentage of its physician workforce: 4.7 percent.
The top three employers that submitted applications for the most doctors through the visa program were William Beaumont Hospital in southeastern Michigan, with 470 physician applications, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center in New York City, with 213, and Cleveland Clinic foundation in Ohio, with 180.
"People underestimate the fragility of certain hospitals and their reliance on certain physicians for their functioning," said study co-author Peter Kahn, who's graduating from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx this spring.
The H-1B visa program allows employers to hire highly skilled professionals from abroad to fill employment gaps in the U.S., typically in high-tech, science, engineering and math jobs. But hospitals use the program as well, often to recruit doctors to serve in rural or underserved urban areas. The number of visas is capped at 85,000 annually.
That could change. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order reiterating his administration's priority to buy American goods and hire American workers. Among other things, it requires federal agencies to suggest reforms to the H-1B visa program to ensure the visas are awarded appropriately.

And now, for my next trick...
Graduation is over, but the party hasn't started yet. I mean, lots of celebrations going on, of course. But OUR party isn't until Saturday. And a blowout it shall be...
One of the benefits of throwing your own party is that you get to make food that you actually LIKE and aren't allergic to - a huge plus in my book! On the menu we have meatball subs, pulled pork sandwiches, macaroni and cheese (all homemade of course)... And of course, the requisite cakes and goodies. The cakes are the only thing I'm not making.
I may be crazy but I'm not stupid :)
Unfortunately we're scheduled for thunderstorms on Saturday, so the trick will be to house all those people INDOORs.
In, out, doesn't really matter to me. I love all the friends and family that are invited and coming from out of town, and it will be great to spend time together eating, drinking and being...well, merry :) It will be the first time our whole family has been together in a number of months, so it's pretty exciting for me!
There are a lot of you that I wish could be sharing the day with us, but proximity just won't allow for it. You know who you are...
Once the grad party is over, it's off and running on my next project. Truly and Finn are "finn-ished" (for now) and spending time with my agent, so I have to decide what to pursue next.
1. The next book in the Truly and Finn series?
2. A sequel to Letters From The Ledge?
3. LFTL Screenplay?
4. There's even another complete novel I wrote before LFTL that's been waiting patiently for my attention...
5. Or something completely different. I have other ideas - a lot of other ideas, actually.
Let's hear from readers? Thoughts? Votes?

They Fly...
For graduates, and all those standing at the crossroads to their destiny...
photo credit: Noah Meyers
They Fly...It is nearly midsummer.
The trees are in leaf.
The turnover begins.
They're halfway there.
Some are moving on.
Others must carry the torches yet another mile.
Or two.
Onward they march.
Together, then separate.
Each to be claimed by their destinies.
The unknown beckons.
Out of their reverie.
It must take them, but willingly.
Fear will not keep them safe.
But merely bind them to another fate.
And so they stand. Hands together.
As the last of the summer sun
Dips below the horizon.
Life gives birth to life.
Fear, to more fear.
They stand at the edge and take in the view.
Toes curl. Hands drop.
The brave will not fall.
But leap, with arms outstretched.
They jump.
They fly...

All Dogs Go To Heaven
Last week, without warning, one of our Maltese puppies, Gabriel, stopped eating. He stopped playing. He stopped drinking. I gave it a day to see if it was just his stomach that was off - perhaps he ate a bug or got into something out in the yard, but when he wasn't any better the next day I made an appointment at the vet.
By the time I got home from work to take him he was jaundiced. A few hours after we left him in the vet's care, he called me to tell me that Gabe was suffering from hemolytic anemia. For some reason Gabe's own immune system was attacking and destroying his red blood cells, and he barely had enough oxygen carrying capacity to stay alive. They gave him IV fluids and a product called oxyhemoglobin, and put him in a little oxygen incubator, but within 24 hours, he was gone.
Gone. Just like that.
At the time I was dealing with a terrible virus myself. I had a fever of nearly 103 when I received the call that he had passed away. I came undone. To say that I was emotionally unprepared for his loss is a huge understatement. He was only 5 years old.
All loss is painful, but deep loss of dear friends with whom we felt a special connection is especially difficult. I know it sounds silly to some people. I used to be one of them. I used to make fun of people who gave their cats prozac and put their dogs through chemotherapy. I used to laugh at little dogs that were put in sweaters and made to wear ridiculous Halloween costumes...until one year I made Gabe wear a bumblebee outfit.
Our judgements always have a way of turning around and biting us, don't they?
No pun intended.
Gabe was the gentlest dog I'd ever met. His "spirit" (if you believe a dog has such a thing) was intuitive and wise. When you looked into his eyes, it was like he knew things, and he wanted you to know that he knew. I don't know how else to describe it, but not all dogs are like that.
We have another Maltese still at home. Gunner. He's smaller and younger than Gabe, weighing in at about 8 pounds. Gunner is adorable. He literally looks like a tiny white stuffed animal come alive.
He's playful and pouncy and he will sit anywhere as long as someone is touching and petting him. He and Gabe had very different personalities, and that's ok. Gunner is ultra cute and fun and thinks he's ten feet tall. Gabe barked a lot but wouldn't hurt a fly. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. It's what makes us fall in love with each other.
We loved Gabriel with all our hearts, and he will be forever missed.
Rest in peace, angel...We'll see you there...

The Art of "Now"?
I read an article recently about our cultural addiction to social networking.
Yes, of course I read it online.
On Facebook.
On my iPhone.
While in the doctor's office waiting room.
Still scrolling while walking in next to the nurse holding the chart.
What do you mean I have to put my stuff down to get on the scale? Surely my phone doesn't weigh... all right! Fine! Geez...you don't have to look at me like that!
It's everywhere. All the time. And it's not just here in the states. While traveling to Ireland recently I noticed it wasn't only an American problem - international airports, major cities, small towns...I guess that makes it pandemic. I have to admit, it was strangely comforting, and somewhat validating...if not a teensy bit disturbing.
We humans can't seem to have more than ten seconds of downtime lately without checking our phones, our computers, our multiple social networking accounts. As with most cultural shifts, This Little House on the Freeway lifestyle we've all so readily adopted has been part blessing and part curse. Awkward silence has been conveniently replaced by the awkward clicking of buttons and speech bubbles with hidden text floating aimlessly above peoples' heads.
Here's the thing: I do it all the time too.
That picture above? It's mine. I took these this morning as I sat at my kitchen island waiting for the timer app on my phone to beep for the French press. This was before I'd had my first sip of coffee. My addictions. Blended together in full color with a couple of filters thrown on, for all the world to see. I'm not ashamed. Neither am I proud. It just is what it is.
I love being connected, but sometimes I have to admit, it does hinder the "now".
I have a friend at work - let's call him "Joe". Joe is a big proponent of the "now".
Joe's wife is dying.
Joe can't afford to live in the past or plan for the future. For Joe, it's all about the now. He bases his philosophy on a book called "The Art of Now". Disclaimer: I haven't read the book. I don't really know anything about the book, so I'm neither endorsing nor condemning this philosophy. I only know Joe, but I do think Joe is onto something.
This idea of mindfulness. Of being present in the present.
The basic premise? You can't change your past, and dwelling on it shackles you to it. You can change your future, but worrying about it only hinders you from doing what needs to be done NOW, in the present, to accomplish it. Maybe that's why so many people get paralyzed by life.
The danger, I guess, is not "living in the present" - it's not living in the present.
Then again, it's kind of what social media is all about. Our experience of our own nows is being celebrated - embraced even. I suppose the flip side of this is being so steeped in the technological "now" that you miss being present in your own present. You could very easily end up living vicariously through everyone else around you's pictures, snippets of thoughts and events. Or worse, becoming completely dissatisfied with your own life as you watch others experience theirs. Because let's face it, while you're concentrating on theirs, you're not doing anything about changing your own.
I find it interesting that Facebook calls it a "Timeline" because it really is a real-time accounting of our lives.
I don't feel like diving any deeper into the social philosophy of it all. There are plenty of articles written by people smarter and more well-known than I am out there to be read and discussed, but for all of you who thought I was going to get on the bandwagon and side with the old farts and the technological nay sayers... I'm not.
I think it's all about balance. Do some of us need to get off our phones and get into reality? Absolutely.
But at the same time...This is reality. The new reality.
Our world has changed, and you can't... change it back. So we need to morph and find ways to adapt and move forward in this new, technology-steeped world while somehow keeping our relationships intact. Can we do it?
I have faith in humanity... We may spend a lot of time trying new things and adopting fads and following trends. We may be a whole race of lemurs running blindly and blissfully toward certain death, but I believe we'll self correct eventually. The universe will demand balance, and our circuits will overload and need to routinely unplug. We'll find a way to be in our own 'now' without losing track of everyone else's. It'll happen. And until it does, I'll be walking the line here with everyone else (but I'll try not to be rude at the doctor's office).
Lynda Meyers is the award-winning author of Letters From The Ledge. Her next novel is a series that is currently in production. Stay tuned for news and updates.

I double click on a portfolio thumbnail while the images are loading, 2 portfolio windows appear. If I tripple click, three portfolio images appear.
To be clear, the correct items are appearing, but in duplicate, triplicate and so on.
The site is product-id.com.
Hi productid,
I'm not sure what the difference is but on both the Angular demo and on my local installation I'm not able to get the same behavior.
Try disabling any active plugins you have and see if it resolves the issue. Then re-enable them one by one to find the cause.
