In 2003, Heather Korzeniowski went shopping on Black Friday, and didn't like it.
In 2003, Heather Korzeniowski went shopping on Black Friday, and didn't like it.
This year, she won't be standing on alert when some area stores open their doors as early as 5 a.m. to welcome shoppers
"I'm shopping now," Korzeniowski of Utica said Tuesday. "I'm usually done by Thanksgiving."
Lucille Rodriguez, also of Utica, plans to avoid the usual rush of doors as well. She used to shop on Black Friday, but that changed several years ago when she purchased four sweaters for $10 apiece.
"I shop after Christmas," she said.
With the news out that consumers will spend less for Christmas this year, national chains and retailers hope to draw customers to their front door.
Some national stores and local stores have embarked upon shrewd marketing campaigns to lure recession-wary yet savvy customers to their store.
Retailers hope to unload some of their inventory and to improve upon last year's Christmas sales.
"Obviously shoppers are being very careful with what they buy, and our goal is to have the best merchandise and the best value for the money," said Jim Sluzewski, a Macy's spokesman. The chain has sent out coupons and mailers to customers to entice them to spend money.
Circuit City spokesman Jim Babb said he could not predict what Black Friday 2008 would bring for the electronics store, adding that Circuit City officials leave that type of prognoses to the economists.
"We think there will be lines at the stores," Babb said. "This an exciting time for consumers. Many enjoy the chase for great bargains."
Michael Palmer of Herb Philipson's Army and Navy Store agreed.
The stores are gearing up for a busy Friday, said Palmer, who is chief financial officer for Herb Philipson's.
The store has put out coupons for 30 percent off one regularly priced item.
Officials hope to have this year's sales match, or even be a little higher, than last year's sales, Palmer said.
"We are hopeful that we will be equal to last year," Palmer said. "But with the economy, we would be happy to meet last year's sales figures."
That may or may not happen, said Michael Wasylenko, professor of economics at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
Most consumers are trying to get out of debt, are wondering about their jobs, wondering about their raises, and are probably going to get limited Christmas bonuses this year, he said.
Wasylenko also said most consumers don't consider the Christmas shopping day to be one day – Black Friday.
"I think it's going to be a little slow, but it's not going to be as dire as some people are forecasting," Wasylenko said.
"We've been on a go, go, go, go and a spend, spend, spend, spend and that's not sustainable.

Heart Attack & Stroke
THE LOCAL PROVISION OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY SERVICES (Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue) and
Click Here: Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue
Last month I was attending a committee meeting at
the Beach Club. One of the attendees was about ten
minutes late arriving and was uncharacteristically very
quiet during the meeting. About fifteen minutes after
she arrived, she got up from the table and walked out of
the room with no mention to anyone about where she
was going. Three minutes later, Kim, the Beach Club's
Assistant Manager interrupted our meeting announcing
that the lady who left our meeting appeared to be ill and
that she showed possible stroke symptoms so 911 was
called and they were on the way.
Very soon, a paramedic ambulance and fire engine arrived
and began treating her. They thought she had a serious
medical condition that needed rapid response and called
in the medical evacuation helicopter. Our struggle began
when we were asked "Does she have a contact nearby?
Her cell phone did not reveal emergency contact information.
We were also asked by the firefighters, "Does she
have a Living Will or a Durable Power of Attorney?" and,
"Where are they located?"
We knew her address and someone in the group knew a
couple of people who were personal friends. It took several
phone calls to find a neighbor who knew family member
names and other emergency information. By the time the
information was accessed, the patient was in a helicopter,
on the way to the hospital. She is home now and all is well
but here are few lessons learned from this incident:
• Check the Bay or Beach Club's Membership
Information papers. Are yours up to date?
• Give a local neighbor a key to your house or hide a
key and let appropriate folks know where to find it for
access in an emergency.
• Place a copy of your Power of Attorney, if you have
one, and your medical wishes in an envelope next to
your FILE OF LIFE packet taped to your refrigerator.
Giving a copy of these documents to your emergency
contact is also a good idea.
• Look into subscribing to the Airlift Northwest's
subscriber plan, if you are not already a member.
Information can be found at www.airliftnw.org. Go to the
page and look on the far right side for AirCare Program.
Or, go by and pick up a pamphlet at the fire station.

Protocol Guidelines: Purpose
The purpose of the Stroke Triage and Destination Procedure is to help you identify stroke patients in the field so you can take them to the most appropriate hospital. Like trauma, stroke treatment is time-critical – the sooner a patient is treated, the better their chances of survival. Fast treatment can mean less disability, too. For strokes caused by a blood clot in the brain (ischemic), clot-busting medication must be adminis-tered within 4.5 hours from the time they first have symptoms. For bleeding strokes (hemorrhagic), time is also critical. As an emergency responder, you play a crucial role in getting patients to treatment in time.
Assess Applicability for Triage
Report from patient or bystander of one or more sudden:
Numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding;
Trouble seeing in one or both eyes;
Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination;
Severe headache with no known cause.
Perform F.A.S.T. Assessment:
Face: unilateral facial droop?
Arms: unilateral drift or weakness?
Speech: abnormal or slurred?
Time last normal (determine time patient last known normal)
Yes to any one sign (Face, Arms, Speech) = YES

Its like a zany-madcap humour generator Waldopepper, FilePile
Blackjack is the most played casino table in the world and a staple of most every major gambling venue on the planet. It's also a hugely popular draw at real money online casinos. Also known as '21', blackjack is a game played with a regulation pack of 52 playing cards, where the object is to beat the dealer by achieving a hand totaling closer to 21 than they can manage.
Many people first learn blackjack as children with their family at home, playing for matchsticks and improving their math along the way, as they add up the value of their cards and try to get as close to 21 as possible. It's a great entry point to table games, but it's far harder to master than it is to learn.
Aim of the game
The primary aim in blackjack is to get your hand as close to 21 as possible, without going bust along the way (any hand totaling over 21 is considered 'bust'). All numbered cards count as their face value, with jacks, queens and kings worth 10, and aces worth either one or 11 (you get to decide).
'Blackjack' is considered the perfect two-card hand, and consists of an ace (counting 11), plus a second card to the value of 10 (10, jack, queen or king). A two-card blackjack hand of 21 beats everything else.
Blackjack basics
Here's how cards are dealt in a game of blackjack:
To play a hand requires a dealer and a minimum of two players. Ideally you want somewhere between three and six, but blackjack can accommodate more if necessary. To play a blackjack hand at a real money casino or online, you need to meet the minimum stake and lay down a bet to at least that value.
The dealer deals two cards to everybody at the table. These are both delivered face up. The dealer deals himself one card face up, and one card down.
The player to the left of the dealer goes first and must then choose from a range of possible options.
Here are the options a player has when it's his or her turn to play their hand:
If a player chooses to 'stand' (or stick), it means he or she is satisfied with their hand and has no desire to add another card. What they have in their hand at that point is the score that will go against the dealer's hand.
If a player calls 'hit' it means they are requesting another card, free of charge, from the top of the deck. Players can hit as many times as they like, but their hand is dead the moment it totals greater than 21. This is known as going 'bust'.
If a player opts to 'double down', it means they are doubling their bet in exchange for one additional card from the deck. This will be their final card, so typically doubling down occurs when a player is a 10-card away from a good hand.
If a player is dealt two matching cards there may be the option to 'split'. Doing this effectively means the player will have two active hands and be asked to match his or her initial bet to get the second one going. He or she then plays out both hands.
In some versions of blackjack players are allowed to 'surrender' if they have a strong feeling the dealer is holding a stronger hand than they will manage. This requires that half their stake be paid to the house, in exchange for their early exit. Some casinos allow surrenders where the dealer has a blackjack hand of 21; some don't.
How betting works in blackjack
Each hand of blackjack betting starts with an initial stake. There will be a minimum amount and a maximum amount to adhere to. The initial player's stake can change during the hand if they 'double down', or 'split'.
Once all hands are played out the dealer reveals his or her cards to the table. The dealer must then play our their hand until it reaches a minimum value of 17 – hitting as many times as required to get to 17 or above. The following rules then apply:
If the dealer goes bust, everybody with an active hand wins a matching amount to the stake they invested.
If the dealer doesn't go bust, everybody who gets closer to 21 than the dealer's hand win a matching amount to their stake.
Those who are beaten by the dealer hand over their stake to the house
If your hand matches that of the dealer, it's classed as a 'push' and your stake is returned.
If any player achieves a perfect blackjack hand of 21 (ace plus 10-card) they will typically be paid out at a 3:2 ratio, which means $3 won for $2 staked. That's unless the dealer also gets blackjack, in which case there's a push.
If the dealer shows an ace with their face-up card, there will often be 'insurance' offered, which means a player can put a side wager on the dealer achieving a blackjack hand of 21. This is a nice back-up plan to avoid disappointment if his or her other card is a 10, and pays at 2:1.
Why do so many people love blackjack?
Blackjack's enduring popularity is owed to a game that is both simple, yet hard to master, and devilishly addictive. There are relatively few rules to learn and the betting process is straightforward when you compare blackjack to a table game such as Texas Hold'em poker.
The thrill of Blackjack has been adapted superbly for online casinos and is hugely enjoyable to play via your desktop, Mac or mobile device. We would recommend you visit a credible blackjack portal to help you choose the best site to play at.

YouLiveOnlyTwice is Luc!
I have been on the road for over 10 years, so far living in 6 different countries, amassing tons of photos along the way. This website is a showcase of my travel photography from the past decade. It also has a blog written in Polish. I am a traveling photographer who started out shooting landscapes and then naturally shifted to travel and other genres of photography. Of all of the kinds of photography I do travel is definitely the most exciting one – a relaxed meditation on being present here and now. Feeling good. My traveling style is different from the usual – instead of visiting many countries briefly, I like to go and live in a place for a year or so. That's what I have been mostly doing since I started traveling in my early twenties. You certainly get to know people and the culture better if you stay longer and let yourself sink in. I speak five languages which helps a bunch! As a linguist I find pleasure in studying accents, words and languages. I have been writing for travel magazines and websites publishing my photos and texts for a longer while – it was time to set up one of my own after a decade.
What I like most about traveling is, rather than a destination, the actual feeling of being on the move and then those wonderful moments of bliss that happen randomly on the road, quite often at sunrise. Photography comes naturally with it and many times serves as the initial motivation for a trip becoming the crucial part that everything else revolves around. This often happens when I travel solo, which I like and do a lot.
I currently live in New York. It was here not long ago that I broke my 10 year old record of staying in any one place for longer than 10 months. Something that hadn't happened since I set off on the road at the age of 20.

Bethseda dev: Natal "wasted on games"Posted in Bethesda, Project Natal, Xbox 360 with tags Ashley Cheng on May 20, 2010 by James Love
Bethseda developer Ashley Cheng has written on his blog that he believes Project Natal "seems wasted on games."
Cheng went on to say that "Microsoft should open the Natal API up like Apple does with the iPhone/iPad" and by letting anyone make an app for Natal he can see "a killer app that has nothing to do with gaming" coming from it.
Microsoft Saudi marketing manager Syed Bilal Tariq earlier announced that Natal would see an October release.
[Thanks, GI]

So it's that time again... is it really only on every two years? ...yes it is the nation wide guilt-fest known as 'Red Nose Day' The bi-annual semi-holiday when normal people become all faux-zany for the sake of charity! Schools have non-uniform days, workplaces are full of idiots with dyed red hair - the general public go around wearing ridiculous plastic red noses which they obtained after making a small donation at supermarkets and petrol stations "oh I just fancy a few bars of chocolate, beer and a tank of diesel while I am here"
This year the patronising slogan is "do something funny for money" - while some will decide this involves spending the day sitting in baths of baked beans, I am sure many this year will be thinking "I would rather be doing a job for money!"
As usual the entire evening's output of the BBC will be turned over to the cause in the form of a telethon where celebrities like Jonathan Ross (who reportedly earns £6m/year from the BBC) will bully the watching public to hand over their hard-earned wages to charity!
The 'funny sketches', 'specials' and 'free adverts for rubbish TV programs you would normally never watch' will be interspersed with special reports where celebrities, that have been sent to these deprived countries, can look into the HD-camera with tear-filled eyes and say something along the lines of "your money helped pay for this, please give us some more"
How much money is spent on this sentimental crap? What is the cost of flying a camera crew out to Africa? How much did these celebrities claim on expenses?
This year a bunch of nonentities including Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating, Chris Moyles, Ben Shephard, Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Fearne Cotton, Alesha Dixon and Denise Van Outen climbed Africa's highest mountain to raise money. Even Gordon Brown took time out of saving the world to get in on the publicity bandwagon.
They did raise £1.3m which is laudable but how much did the whole venture cost and who paid for it? I am sure the financial cost of that group climbing Kilamanjaro was huge.
The cynic within me is convinced that many of the celebrities are just involved for the publicity rather than the cause. If they were then I am sure a sizeable donation from their own bulging wage packets would go some way to solving world hunger?
Reading this incredulous report on the BBC News website today about The Saturdays (responsible for this year's atrocious cover version charity single) was the last straw for me
"We're working the hardest we've ever worked to promote a single because it's so important to us that people go out there and buy it because it's for such an important cause."Bollocks! Not only does the article manage to advertise Red Bull (as a rock and roll drink!) but it also contains this little gem.
First, it is only their fourth single and secondly, the track is for Comic Relief.I hadn't even heard of The Saturdays, so getting involved is obviously helping to publicise them and listening to their record they will need all the help they can get with their career, especially as they no longer have the Woolworth's bargain bin to shift their dire albums.
"We were honoured to be asked so early on in our career," says Molly.
"We're so happy to do it, and do everything we can to help it. It's amazing we can."
I am sure many of the redundant shop workers would happily trade places and work as hard as them for the money they are undoubtedly going to make on the back of this 'charity work'

Senior Project Manager Chad Yount has been in the construction industry for 10 years. He started with Sundt in 2008 as a Field Engineer and worked his way to his current position, which he started this year.
Chad specializes in large-scale transportation work. His next assignment is bringing a world class linear park to the San Antonio community through the San Pedro Creek Improvements Project after serving as Project Manager on the $228 million Sellwood Bridge Replacement Project in Portland, Oregon.
How did the Portland community react to the finished product at Sellwood Bridge?
The community was very grateful and excited to have a new bridge connecting the Sellwood community to downtown Portland. The old Sellwood Bridge was failing structurally and was not safe for pedestrians and cyclists due to the narrow sidewalks. The new bridge will withstand a major earthquake and offers 12-foot sidewalks for the large bicycle community.
What did you learn from that work that can be applied to San Pedro Creek?
Bringing an iconic, complex project such as Sellwood Bridge through the heart of any city requires the community to modify its daily activities. We were able to engage the neighborhoods and all interest groups in efforts to minimize those disruptions. That will also be extremely important to the San Pedro project. We want all local businesses to thrive during construction. If they aren't successful then we aren't successful.
What are people in San Antonio identifying as the most important aspects of the project?
The project will improve flood control throughout the west side of downtown while bringing life back to the creek. San Antonio was founded on San Pedro Creek almost 300 years ago so remembering the heritage and culture of the area is top priority for the project.
What are some of the innovative approaches the team has planned?
The majority of the risk on the project is in what lies below ground. With any project through downtown the existing infrastructure is always a concern. To mitigate these risks, we have been using virtual design and construction to model all existing and new infrastructure. This helps us identify conflicts in the office during preconstruction instead of in the field when issues cost time and money.
How is the work progressing?
Because this is a CMAR project, we have been working with the design team and owner for the last six months. We're excited to get started with horizontal directional drilling. After the New Year, the team will begin demolition and excavation on the north end of the project.

Dogtooth Tuna are the #1 target species for anglers jigging Kadavu Island's offshore seamounts and Great Astrolabe Barrier Reef. Doggies range in size from small juveniles to monster fish over 100kg. Bite Me holds the Fijian All-Tackle Record with a Doggie of just over 90kg.
Dogtooth are occasionally caught whist popper casting however the best way to target them is jigging in certain areas where the outer barrier reef slopes drop off suddenly from 60m to 200m. Other favourite Doggies spots for anglers are the Ono Drop, Solo Atoll and the Kadavu Seamount.
We try to release most Dogtooth Tuna however some fish over 50kg, when brought up from depth, suffer from Barotrauma. Doggies do make excellent sashimi !
The dogtooth tuna is a large fast-swimming fish in the family Scombridae.
It is one of the apex non-pelagic predators (along with Giant Trevally, Napoleon Wrasse, and Large Groupers) of its range (from the Marshall islands to the Indian Ocean). It is not a true tuna, but is closely related to the bonitos. It has the large teeth and straight edged first dorsal fin characteristic of all bonito. It is a near shore fish, with smaller fish in shallow reef areas and larger ones in deep reef drop off areas. It will readily attack most fish that will fit in its mouth: mackerels, sardines, etc.

Camp Agape is a weekend mini camp filled with games, carnivals, adventures, and a time to hear about the love of our Heavenly Father.

Camp Agape is free of cost to you and your family. We invite children in foster care, adopted children, and biological children of foster parents to come and join us for this weekend of fun! All meals will be covered and your child will receive a Camp Agape T-shirt. We would love to have new families as well as families who have attended in the past to join us for the 3rd annual Camp Agape! Open to kids in grades Kindergarten- 9th grade!
Dates coming soon!
Glitz, Glam, and gowns
Glitz, Glam, and Gowns is a FREE Formal Dress Shopping event for teen girls in foster care in Alabama.

They do not have to be planning to attend a prom or dance to take part in Glitz, Glam, and Gowns!
Please call (334-363-2634) or email us (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any questions you may have.
Statewide swimsuit and towel drive
Each year we host a huge collection drive for new swimsuits and towels for children in foster care. Requests are made by social workers on behalf of children in their county and we fill the requests in March, April and May. Each towel is embroidered with the child's name to make it uniquely theirs. Donations can be made each Spring to BigHouse and participating partners.
If you would like to make a monetary donation to this drive, we estimate $25 will cover the cost for one child's swimsuit and embroidered towel.
Back to school bash
Each summer, we host a Back to School Bash for our BigHouse families. This event is a way for our kids and teens to jumpstart their school year with fun and games. Before the event, we match kids in foster care with a sponsor who will provide all the supplies they may need. We hope this event allows our kids and teens to feel confident and prepared for the coming year!
We typically begin collecting new supplies the second week of July. If you are interested in sponsoring a BigHouse child, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Family Beach Retreat
Our annual family beach retreat allows families rest, relaxation and lots of fun. This weekend at the beach will be the first vacation and the first time to see the ocean for some of our kids. Opportunities for sponsoring a child on this trip are available here.
Santa's workshop
Christmas is an exciting time for us because we are able to partner with the community to host our Santa's Workshop shopping event for our families. Families come to the event together and parents choose gifts for their children in one area while their children get to shop for their parents and siblings in another area. Volunteers help kids pick out gifts and wrap them for their family members. All items are donated by our generous community.
Bighouse birthday bash
This is BigHouse's annual support dinner where we strive to inform new members in the community about our programs, in effort to gain more support for the organization.
If you are interested in attending, email us at email@example.com!

Kenya on Horseback
The Man from Snow River Festival Ride - with John Williams & Yola Cox
29 February - 9 March, 2016
Riding amongst Africa's animals is an active, exhilarating and adrenalin fuelled safari. Experiencing this spectacular unfenced and expansive wilderness eco-system on the back of a horse is a journey like no other and one you will never ever forget. The riding safari is escorted by horseman John Williams and hosted by Gordie Church and Felicia Collie of Safaris Unlimited, one of Kenya's leading family run safari outfitters, who not only run riding safaris but also offer traditional mobile tented safaris all over Kenya. Gordie's father, Tony Church, started the original riding safari concept in Kenya and between the two of them, they offer authentic, unique and unforgettable safaris that not only have heritage but deliver a safari experience which are all class, full of punch and seriously stylish.
The eight night riding safaris traverse the greater Mara Conservancies (which are adjacent to the Masai Mara), namely Ol Kinyei, Naboisho, Olare Orak, Motogori, Mara North & the Mara Triangle. This Mara wilderness is an extension of the Serengeti Ecosystem and is considered Kenya's best wildlife sanctuary, where animals can still be seen in vast numbers. The beauty of this wilderness is that is has come to represent the epitome of East Africa. The landscape is one if rolling savannah and acacia woodland, intersected by dark green veins if riverine forest in the banks of the Mara and Olare Orak Rivers. The Mara is also home to the colourful and handsome Masai people who, with their herds of livestock are synonymous with the region.
Why we like it
- Gameviewing on horseback
- Stylish camping safari
- It's an adrenalin rush
- The Masai Mara eco system

A few weeks ago I came across an airfare I simply couldn't pass up - roundtrip from Dayton to Milwaukee for about $25 (yes, you read that correctly - $25) after applying a $100 Delta certificate I had on file. The certificate was set to expire on 7/31 and I had no other use for it, so I quickly booked a ticket and figured I might as well enjoy Airventure for a day! I'm heading to the airport super early tomorrow and should be in Oshkosh by noon.
As luck would have it, tomorrow happens to be the only day that Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is scheduled to be at the show and I'm really looking forward to seeing the new airliner in person. It should be a fun day full of aviation. Let me know if you're at OSH and I'll try to swing by and say hello!

Enroute to Oshkosh!

Solomon's Compromise
by Wayne Blank
Solomon's Early Years - Wisdom and Righteousness
After David died, Solomon became king of all Israel at an early age, likely in his teens. Despite his youth and inexperience, he had something going for him that guaranteed his greatness - complete obedience and faithfulness to God:
"And now, O Lord my God, Thou hast made Thy servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And Thy servant is in the midst of Thy people whom Thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude. Give Thy servant therefore an understanding mind to govern Thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to govern this Thy great people?"
The Latter Years - Corruption
Ironically, Solomon's success, or his not keeping it in perspective in relation to the God Who gave it all to him, led to his failure. It was actually more of a slide than a fall - he came to trust in his wealth and political power more than in God, Who made it all possible; his great wealth and diplomatic influence allowed him to collect a harem of 1,000 women from all sorts of nations that The Lord had told the Israelites not to get involved with; his many "wives" led him into worshipping their idols.
Solomon may not have outright rejected the True God, he did continue to worship Him, but he also compromised the Truth by tolerating all sorts of paganism at the same time. His weak and foolish judgment resulted in very dire consequences for the kingdom of Israel - which have affected the world right to the present day.
"Now King Solomon loved many foreign women: the daughter of Pharaoh, and Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, from the nations concerning which The Lord had said to the people of Israel, "You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods"; Solomon clung to these in love. He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not wholly true to The Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of The Lord, and did not wholly follow The Lord, as David his father had done."
Fact Finder: Which of Solomon's sons succeeded him and caused the division of the united kingdom of Israel into "Israel" and "Judah" - exactly as God said would be done?

text: Sun, sea and sand requires swimwear. Chances are your swimwear is the first thing you'll wear and will also be the most worn piece of clothing during your vacation. There are many shops to complement your wardrobe so there's no need to panic if you forget to bring your bikini or swim shorts, but you're going to need it either way. Your outfit to the beach isn't complete without a pair of flip flops.

Three of the places in The Geek Atlas are probably familiar to many people: the Atomium in Brussels, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO.
So you might ask yourself why I included them. The answer is that all three have real scientific interest.
The shiny Atomium is actually in the shape of an iron crystal. More interestingly it's the shape of just one of the allotropes of iron (the different structures that iron can form). Allotropes are very important because they show how a simple element like carbon can form graphite, diamonds and other more exotic structures.
The Eiffel Tower's shape was determined by Gustav Eiffel by calculating the effect of the Parisian wind on such a tall structure (at the time it was the tallest building in the world). And Eiffel managed to make it tall and fragile looking by calculating which pieces of iron he could remove.
The Gateway Arch is an example of a catenary arch. A catenary is a natural shaped formed just by the force of gravity. If you hold a piece of string with its ends in each hand and then hold your hands level the string falls to form a graceful catenary curve.
Details of these three places, the science behind them, and one more surprise about The Eiffel Tower (for which you'll probably want a pair of binoculars) are in the book.

Sunflower Dream
How yellow? Sunflower-yellow?
Brother bumble, you've such a pollen-load.
From my window I hear a papa say:
"That's what our sunflower is going to look like."
To which his little girl replies:
"It is?"
Big round eyes and skinny knees,
little flies and busy bees,
may the right one someday see
your pretty yellow shoes.

Our Powers
Our enforcement tools and powers
Civil Order - For serious antisocial behaviour, the Community Protection service works with its partners including Nottinghamshire Police and Nottingham City Homes to exercise civil orders. Where appropriate an application will be made to the courts requesting for an offender to be placed under certain conditions with the aim of preventing them from re-offending.
Civil Injunction
Injunctions can be used to prevent individuals from engaging in antisocial behaviour, quickly nipping problems in the bud before they escalate. The civil power can help tackle a wide range of issues including vandalism, aggressive begging, noisy or abusive behaviour and irresponsible dog ownership. By prohibiting a person from further committing antisocial behaviour, injunctions can also include measures to address the underlying cause, offering fast and effective protection for victims and communities.
Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO)
This is a court order which can be issued after an individual is convicted of a criminal offence. Designed to help tackle the most serious and persistent offenders, a CBO can deal with a wide range of antisocial behaviours including the threat of violence against others, being persistently drunk and aggressive in public or criminal damage
Dispersal powers
Dispersal powers can be utilised to remove a person who is committing, or who might commit, antisocial behaviour, crime or disorder. This preventative power can disperse antisocial individuals for up to 48 hours, providing immediate short-term respite to a local community.
Community Protection Notice (CPN)
This notice seeks to stop an individual over the age of 16, a business or organisation, from persistently committing antisocial behaviour which impacts on a community's quality of life. This power is intended to deal with particular, ongoing problems or nuisances.
Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO)
Designed to stop individuals or groups from committing antisocial behaviour in a public space, a PSPO is intended to deal with nuisance behaviour by imposing conditions on the use of a specific area. The order aims to ensure that law-abiding members of the public can enjoy public spaces, safe from the impact of antisocial behaviour. It can also prohibit certain activities such as drinking alcohol as well as placing requirements on use of the space, for instance ensuring that dog walkers keep their pets on a lead.
New closure powers
These are fast and flexible powers that can be used to protect victims and communities by quickly close premises being used to commit nuisance or disorder. A closure notice can be issued by the police or council to shut premises for up to 48 hours with the ability to apply for a six months closure notice through the courts.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will experience a 50mph white water ride, race each other in yachts and play cricket during their action-packed tour of New Zealand and Australia in April.
The couple will also visit Uluru - also known as Ayer's Rock - meet Lord of the Rings director Sir Peter Jackson and visit areas damaged by earthquakes and bush fires in the recent past.
The trip will include Prince George's debut public engagements, but because the couple do not want their son to have to spend too much time travelling, people living in major cities including Perth and Melbourne will be left disappointed.
Prince George will stay in government residences in Wellington, Sydney and Canberra while his parents carry out engagements in the cities or make day-trips to outlying areas which enable them to be home with him in the evenings.
They will, however, be separated from him for two nights, when they visit Uluru and when they go to Queenstown in New Zealand.

How Do I Look
The documentary How Do I Look reveals why the Legends and Icons from the Harlem Drag Ball community have influenced the biggest stars in pop culture for decades and are setting trends in fashion, dance, music, runway, and they are the originators of the "Vogueing" dance. Their innovations and culture are best known from Madonna's music video "Vogue," "Truth or Dare," and the film "Paris is Burning." Harlem Drag Balls are also known as "House Balls."
Flow Affair
FLOW AFFAIR is the first feature film about the Flagging dance and the Evolution of Flow Arts. It's an inside look into the New York City, San Francisco and Chicago Flag, Fan, Poi, Voguing and Floguing Dance communities. Flagging originated in the New York City Gay bars in the late 1970′s.

When traveling, it's funny how meeting someone from your native country is so exciting. It's as if they're your neighbours or something and you feel like you need to catch up on each other's lives. I definitely fell victim to doing this.
When you meet other travellers it's seems as if the initial exchange is always the same.
"What places have you been so far on your trip?"
"Where are you going next?"
Then there are the other, simple, polite questions about how old you are, whether or not you're traveling solo, what do you do for a living, etc.
However, the most significant questions, it seems, is:
"Where are you from?"
This is pretty much the first thing someone asks me (sometimes even before they ask what my name is!).
If you're both from the same country? Instant conversation starter. Instant feeling of belonging. Instant feeling of comfort. At least, that's how it felt for me, especially as a solo traveller.
And it's exciting! As if people don't travel and it's SO odd to meet someone from the same country as you (do you hear the hint of sarcasm there?).
One encounter really stands out in my mind.
A friend and I had just arrived in Huacachina, Peru at around 9 p.m. We checked into our hostel and then decided to go wandering around the town because it was tiny so knew we wouldn't get lost. We ended up at this bar called 'The Pub.'
I was wearing a hoodie with the name of the university I attend written on it.
We walked into The Pub and immediately noticed that two of the guys working at the bar were 'gringos.'
So we went up to the bar to get a drink and one of the guys said,
"You go to Western?"
I was a little taken aback because I didn't even realize I was wearing my university sweater.
"Um, yeah! I do."
"No way! I go to Laurier!"
Western and Laurier are not only both in Canada. They are not only both in Ontario (a province of Canada). They are literally within an hour drive from each other.
And then on top of that, I found out that he was from Toronto, which is about 20 minutes from where I live.
Such an exciting moment. I love how you can live 20 minutes away from someone and never meet them, but then you go to a different country and you meet, by chance, in a tiny, off-the-beaten-track town.
The world is seriously SO SMALL.
Is it as exciting for you as it is for me to meet someone from your native country?
Any stories like this one?

I covered a piece of scrap wood with fabric and ribbon to make a new slim side table. The new side table allows the trundle bed to pull out and also becomes a headboard.

Fight Like Soldiers Die Like Children
Feature Length Documentary | 83'/ 58′
When you've been to hell and back, how do you shake the memories?
This question has haunted General Roméo Dallaire since 1994, when he was UN Force Commander during the Rwandan genocide, explored in our award-winning documentary Shake Hands with the Devil.
Dallaire has now found a reason to live: embarking on a mission to end the use of child soldiers.
Will Dallaire succeed where others have failed? Or will he once again be forced to look on as the world turns away?
Shot in DR Congo, Rwanda, and South Sudan, and across North America, our film will engage youth and adults alike, attracted by Dallaire's magnetic personality.
Director: Patrick Reed
Executive Producers: Peter Raymont & Janice Dawe
Producers: Peter Raymont & Patrick Reed
Produced in association with TVOntario, Knowledge Network, Canal D, documentary channel, Telefilm Canada and the Rogers Group of Funds through the Theatrical Documentary Program with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, Rogers Documentary Fund and the OMDC Feature Film Fund.

Most people can give blood, but before we accept your blood we need to ensure there's no risk of us harming you or the patients who will receive it. Use the below links to see if you are eligible to give blood and to gain advice on preparing to give blood.
Any other questions or queries please contact us on 042-37422140 & 141 or via the submitting blood assessment form. Fill out a Medical History Questionnaire and discuss answers confidentially with a Medical Historian.
Male donors can give blood after every 12 weeks. That's approximately every 3 months or 4 times in a 12 month period. Female donors can give every 16 weeks or approximately every 4 months.
Only 38% of the general population are eligible to donate, but fewer than 10% of those eligible actually donate.
Please use the information on this site as a general guide; an evaluation by a medical professional is the only way to determine eligibility.
Donors must:
Because blood is a living tissue that is transplanted into another human, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in an attempt to ensure a safe blood supply, has imposed strict controls on who may donate. If you discover that you are not eligible to give blood, you can still save lives by providing blood for research, coordinating a blood drive within your organization, volunteering your time, or contributing financially. However you participate in our programs, you are helping maintain the health of our community. Thank you for your dedication.

JPMorgan Chase to Pay $5.1 Billion to Settle Mortgage Claims
JPMorgan Chase reached an agreement to resolve all of its mortgage-backed securities litigation with the Federal Housing Finance Agency as conservator for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for $4 billion. This settlement resolves the firm's largest mortgage-backed securities case and relates to approximately $33.8 billion of securities purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from J.P. Morgan, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.
The firm has also simultaneously agreed to resolve Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's repurchase claims associated with whole loan purchases from 2000 to 2008, for $1.1 billion.
Today's settlements totaling $5.1 billion are an important step towards a broader resolution of the firm's mortgage-backed securities-related matters with governmental entities.

Some of the biggest sources of charitable donations come from corporations. While a donation made by an individual receives a tax credit, a donation made by a corporation receives an income deduction. Tax credits are different from tax deductions.
Let's explain the difference by looking at a few examples.
Tax Deduction
Let's assume we have an individual who has a marginal tax rate of 40%. If they had a $100 tax deduction, this means they can write off $100 from their income. They would normally have paid $40 in tax on that $100 of income. By having written down their income by $100, they conversely have saved $40 of tax in this case.
The value of tax deductions vary according to your marginal tax rate – so they are more valuable to higher income earners.
Tax Credit
If this same person has a $100 tax credit, this translates directly into a $100 tax savings. So you can see that $1 of tax credit is worth more than $1 of tax deduction. But note that a $100 charitable donation does not earn a $100 tax credit. Rather credits are earned according to a prescribed formula. With donations for an individual up to $200 the tax credits are earned at the rate of 21.55% (Ontario). Therefore, a $100 donation would earn $21.55 in tax savings. (Note that over the $200 threshold, tax credits on charitable donations are earned at the rate of 46.41% or $46.41 per $100).
The value of tax credits do not vary with your marginal tax rate and you earn the same tax savings no matter what tax bracket you are in. The charitable donation tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit – which means the credit you earn can only serve to reduce any tax owing – after that point, they are worthless.
A tax credit that IS refundable, can not only reduce your tax liability owing, but also generate a payment to you once it has eliminated your taxes payable for the year.

I strongly urge TAG members to read Sam Ruby's posting [1] and the comment thread that follows from it. Although I am not prepared to say that I agree (or disagree) with its conclusions, I think it is one of the more interesting and cogently presented defenses of polyglot. Furthermore, the comment thread includes an interesting debate between Henri and Sam, among others. It also includes a link to a proposal [2] to drop the reference to XHMTL from the title of the polyglot specification. I think it will be helpful if TAG members are up on all this for our Thursday discussion. Thank you.

Consumers searching for the best manual transmission cars are generally driven by two motivating factors: fuel economy or acceleration. Cars with limited power (four-cylinder engines) usually benefit most with manual transmissions. Driving preference comes into play with manual transmissions and V6- or V8-powered engines. There's also the money factor. Manuals typically are less expensive, cheaper to repair, and need less maintenance than automatic transmissions.
For fuel economy, we're using 2010 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy estimates. For best acceleration numbers, we're using manufacturer sites. With this in mind, here are our top picks for Best Manual Transmission cars.
- Volkswagen Jetta (diesel) – The compact Volkswagen Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen (and Golf) with manual transmission lead in EPA fuel economy numbers with an estimated 30 mpg city/41 mpg highway. Jetta TDI is powered by a 140-hp 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. A dual-clutch automatic transmission (DSG) gets an estimated 30/42 mpg. Edmunds says the TDI "is so clean that it's 50-state compliant" and "makes an excellent alternative to hybrids." Cons are small backseat compared to competitors. Popular Mechanics remarks "the new, more powerful TDI gives it more oomph, allowing us to power through traffic and accelerate from stoplights with authority and a little bravado." Consumer Guide gives Jetta a Best Buy, saying "the manual transmission is delightful to use, with smooth shift and clutch action."
- Chevrolet Corvette (Z06, ZR1) – Zero to 60 mph times of 3.7 seconds for Z06 and 3.4 seconds for ZR1 are not only impressive, they're scorching. Edmunds says "launch control is now standard on all manual-transmission models, a feature that will come in handy for taking out the guesswork out of eking out the best acceleration times." Z06 features a 505-hp 7.0-liter V8, while ZR1 gets an "otherworldly" 638 hp from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Disappointing interior quality, say Edmunds editors, is the only serious drawback. Consumer Guide rates Corvette a Best Buy, saying "Z06 and ZR1 versions…are among the fastest cars in the world." EPA city/highway fuel economy for Z06 is 15/24 mpg and for ZR1, 14/20 mpg.
- Chevrolet Camaro SS – After Camaro ceased production in 2002, enthusiasts pined for its return. In 2010, it finally arrived in the form of a fifth-generation Camaro, available in base and Camaro SS. With a 6.2-liter V8 that's a direct variant from Chevrolet Corvette, the all-new 2010 Camaro SS makes 426 hp in manual transmission. EPA city/highway fuel economy estimates for the 6-speed manual transmission V8 are 16/24 mpg, which Edmunds calls "very impressive fuel consumption figures, particularly given how powerful these engines are." Zero to 60 mph is clocked at 4.6 seconds, according to eGM CarTech. Editors at Car and Driver advise "stick with the stick, if at all possible."
Other Best Manual Transmission Cars to consider for high fuel economy include the minicompact MINI Cooper (28 mpg city/37 mpg highway), and the midsize Hyundai Elantra Blue (26 mpg city/35 mpg highway). For acceleration, consider Dodge Viper SRT10, Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Nissan GT-R, and Porsche 911 Carrera S.
