'Right-size' Your Fleet and Be A Hero
Location: Omni Fort Worth Hotel Ballroom 4&5
There is no better way to optimize fleet costs than be insuring the size and composition of the fleet is optimized. Since depreciation is far and away the top fleet expense, having too many vehicles around is costly. At the same time, fleet user groups always argue for more and larger vehicles. The federal government has tackled this problem by developing a structured approach to fleet rightsizing known as a Vehicle Allocation Model. In his session we will discuss the federal approach, which is used by all Government law enforcement organizations to meet mandates for demonstrating that fleets are optimally sized.

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis and Fleet Replacement Planning
Location: Omni Fort Worth Hotel Ballroom 5
Old vehicles make managing a fleet very difficult. Fleet managers with old fleets often take the blame for underperforming programs and unhappy customers. Yet some fleet managers are successful in keeping their fleets renewed even during poor economic times. In this session we will discuss how a little math can help you sell a comprehensive fleet replacement strategy to decision makers which in turn helps keep fleet size down, improves fleet availability, lowers maintenance and repair costs, improves fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions, and has a huge impact on customer satisfaction.
Mr. Randy Owen, Senior Vice-President, Mercury Associates
Mr. Chris Burgeson, Fleet Manager, Public Works Department, City of Napa, CA
3:00pm - 4:15pm
Concurrent Sessions 3 & 4
3. End of Year Fleet Management Reports
Location: Omni Fort Worth Hotel Ballroom 6-8
Fleet Management today requires you to know more about the financial condition of your fleet than to be able to tune up a car or truck. Like it or not
we are financial managers
. You must be able to tell your customers
how well you managed their money and their equipment
. One of the ways to tell your customers how well you did is through a number of
fleet financial reports
. We will talk about several of these reports and
how you will benefit
from using them. You must track and record your costs in order to bench mark your equipment and personal performance. Before you can compare your fleet to others, you must
be able to bench mark your annual performance numbers to yourself
. In order to be competitive with a managed competition bid, you
know what it costs to run your fleet operation.
Class Objectives:
Department budgets and actual amounts spent.
What did department pay for Fuel, Parts, Labor, Accidents, etc.
Department equipment replacement budget
Motor vehicle/Fleet operational budget by revenue generators, within Fleet
Motor vehicle/Fleet staffing
Motor vehicle/Fleet line item budget (actual and projected)
Sick leave usage
Motor vehicle/Fleet technician productivity report
Warranty recovery report
Motor vehicle/Fleet service fees for work provided.

Monthly bill-out reports by department.
Accident cost report by department
Operational Bench Marks
Bill DeRousse, Fleet Services Consulting
Lt. Scott D. Coy, Co-Chair, Police Fleet Expo
4. Technology Trends for Vehicle Fluids
Location: Omni Fort Worth Ballroom 5
New engine and transmission designs have created new challenges and are pushing the limits on the vehicle's vital fluids. Many manufacturers have developed proprietary fluids to address these challenges. (Dexos1, Dexos2, Dex VI, Mercon LV are just a few.) In this session we'll discuss the challenges and the impact these fluids have on the health of your fleet.
Class Objectives:
What are differences between Synthetics, Semi-synthetics, Synthetic-blends, and Non-synthetics?
Are they worth the money?
What impact do they have on fuel economy?
What impact do they have to the bottom-line?
What impact do they have on Gasoline Direct Injection and Diesel Injection systems?
What impact do these oils have on DPFs, SCRs, and other after treatment devices?

20/01/2012 in Media/Phone hacking
News International has settled 19 phone hacking cases, costing the company in the region of £10m.
Despite the settlements, the company has refused to confirm or deny allegations against them by some 58 claimants. Amongst those who have been given money are Chris Bryant, who received £30,000 John Prescott, who agreed to a settlement of £40,000 plus costs.
In the company's High Court apology they also admitted to hacking emails, opening a new chapter in the scandal.
Chris Bryant defended 'no win, no fee' legal services, telling the BBC that they were helpful to people looking to sue large corporations or media groups. He admitted it would be "perfectly legitimate" to deal with issues surrounding no win, no fee cases but that they should not be scrapped altogether.
29/03/2011 in Media/Phone hacking
Chris Bryant has reiterated his claim that Assistant Commissioner John Yates deliberately misled the Home Affairs Select Committee in previous evidence about the Metropolitan Police's phone hacking investigation. He said: "Mr Yates also told this committee on 7 September 2010 that there was no evidence that Members of Parliament had their phones tapped. And yet at least eight MPs that I am aware of have now been shown evidence that has been in police possession since 2006 that shows precisely that."
04/11/2011 in Immigration
The UK Border Agency has been accused of losing track of a "population of asylum seekers and migrants".
The Home Affairs Select Committee said that 124,000 cases had been "dumped", with the Agency giving up on them.
Chris Bryant, the Shadow Immigration Minister, said that the numbers betrayed a "shocking failure at the heart of this Tory-led Government". Keith Vaz, Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said cases weren't being dealt with "quickly and efficiently and expeditiously", but admitted the agency's problems had begun under Labour.
27/04/2011 in Media/Phone hacking
Labour MP Chris Bryant has accused News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks of lying to Parliament about whether the News of the World had paid police officers for information. The MP used parliamentary privilege to level the allegation, but the Speaker urged Mr Bryant to write to him rather than raise the matter publicly.
11/03/2011 in Media/Phone hacking
Labour MP Chris Bryant told parliament yesterday that the Metropolitan Police are "dangerously close" to the News of the World and that at least eight MPs may have had their phones hacked. He also accused assistant commissioner John Yates of misleading a parliamentary inquiry into the matter by saying there were only "eight to 12 victims" of hacking.

Do you ever wonder what happens after the last page of a book? I often find myself wanting to know more about a story than just what the author tells me.
Sometimes that information is available. Some writers offer extras, deleted scenes, and additional back story. But does the author have the right to say what... Read more at We Heart YA.
This blog is about everything. It's a collection of daydreams, fairytales, and hidden treasure. It's a place for rainy days, stargazing, wonderful nonsense, and impossible things. It's about passion and faith and nostalgia.
It's about life.

Drive through sterile suburban neighborhoods and a macabre procession of chain restaurants to the luxury resort La Torretta Del Lago. For running this gauntlet, you are rewarded with one of the finest meals in the state (and if you come at the right time, one hell of a sunset).
You'll be greeted with the finest modern-elegant dining room that money can buy, complete with a stunning lake view. Both the menu and meticulous technique are true-blue French, right down to the insistence of using the finest local ingredients. We've had a soufflé made with Texas's own Veldhuizen Farm cheddar, an impossibly airy and rich cloud floating upon sweet creamed corn—all Lone Star and Gaul. Turnip fondant has come caramelized to a near-toffee flavor, threaded with savory, salty bits of duck confit. Foie gras mousse with walnut bread is as texturally stirring and flawless as a Godard film. We've enjoyed a cart of fully ripened French cheeses allowed to rest at room temperature; figs stuffed with whipped Fourme d'Ambert; and a foie gras terrine tickled with Muscat and pungent baby leeks.
The low points are few, but noticeable: sometimes-awkward service and a wine list that mingles compulsory domestic clunkers with better (but overpriced) French bottles. Nevertheless, this is some of the most capable French cooking found in Texas.
Get the 544-page book—it's an indispensable reference and a great gift—available online or at a Houston-area store.
Or, subscribe to fearlesscritic.com for just $10 per year—the price of a martini—or try it out for $2 per month.

It has been sitting in the back of my mind that I have not updated this in a very, very, very long time. Last year I updated it at least once a month about the various amazing or not so amazing goings-on in my life as retrospectives. I haven't done one since December.
Frankly, my life has been, for lack of a better word, awesome. I have done many amazing things, and changed my life in many different ways. I've met new people, started new jobs, and done new things. I wouldn't change a single thing that has happened this year, nor do I think I can fit almost an entire years events in a single post. So, instead, have a list (that is in no particular order)!
That's just a small list of some of the events of the past year. I'm sure I'm forgetting important one and not-so-important ones alike. But the general concensous is…well, life's been pretty great. I owe many thanks to many people, because I would not be where I am today on my own. It took the help of many great friends and family. Thank you all.
I did this around the same time last year. I wrote a blog post reflecting on 2010. After rereading it, that was truly a bittersweet year. As much as I would like to say that this year was all sweet, no bitter, I can't. There was good and bad, like all things in life.
This year was attributed to four great things and one terrible one, as follows.
Last year I made the resolution everyone makes: start going to the gym, lose weight. I wanted to try new and interesting forms of activity that were not available to me at the time. I made certain that I knew I wanted to become physically fit and didn't concentrate on "losing weight," because I knew that would come with it. With the help of having a personal trainer, working out 3-4 times a week, and eating right, I have achieved a level of physical fitness I have never known and, as of 1/1/2011, lost about 90lbs weighing in at 277lbs. I have rock climbed discovering that, while I have no issues with flying, being 10 feet off the ground scares the shit out of me. And more importantly…
In May I ran my first 5k, after training using the Couch to 5k program, finishing in just under 40 minutes. It was hard as hell, but it was an accomplishment no one can take away from me.
It later prompted me to want a bigger challenge; I needed a new dragon to chase. I wanted something that, by the end of the year, would be such a big jump in progress that it would feel like I bit off more than I could chew. In August, I joined Team Challenge, a group of people who train and run half marathons in order to raise money and awareness for Crohn's and Colitis. Every week I trained with an amazing group of people, made new friends, and constantly achieved personal records in distance running. I even got my first athletic injury, spraining my ankle.
(note: I WAS going to add a picture of said sprain, but I opted against it, you can see it on my Facebook page here)
This went on until December when we flew to Vegas and proceeded to run 13.1 miles at night along the Vegas strip. This was an amazing experience regardless of the flaws with the course. If you ever get the opportunity to do this, I highly recommend you don't pass it up. I achieved three personal records that night:
I will never be able to completely describe how it felt to cross that finish line, but suffice it to say, it might have been the happiest moment of 2011 for me.
Coming in a close second would be my first adult vacation to Seattle, Washington at the end of August. I was invited to stay with a few college friends and go to PAX (Penny Arcade eXpo, a video game convention) Prime. Instead of going just for the weekend, I decided to make a full vacation out of it, staying for a week.
I immediately fell in love with the area. My friends live about 20 minutes away from Seattle in Redmond, which has many spectacular views, and is quite peaceful; it is easy to get lost in the landscape. As amazing as Redmond was, Seattle was that much better for me. I love big cities, the amount of life and energy in them feeds my senses. I spent a lot of time near Pike Place near their Publish Market, taking as many tours as I could. I have never had better seafood, and am extremely jealous of all the amazingly fresh local produce they get.
Seattle seemed like it was going to make me like it or die trying. I ran into Conan O'Brien on my first day and made a new friend, from Boson, the second. I got to go to PAX and play and view some amazing video games third and tour Valve the fourth. It was an amazing time, and am considering going back this August. I could easily see myself living there in 3 or so years.
The last one is perhaps the strangest…or, at least, a year ago I would have thought so. While at PAX, I was introduced to the 4th generation of My Little Pony, called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic which is written by Lauren Faust, known for her other amazing works from when I was growing up such as Powderpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. This show's intended demographic is girls from 8-10; however, picked up an interesting and unforeseen demographic: men and women from 18-32 years old. Myself included.
While I won't go into complete detail as to why this show affected me in the ways that it did (if you're really interested, I wrote a detailed post here), let it suffice to say that it did drastically influence me. I've reconnected with an ex because of, met my current girlfriend and new friends through, and gotten through the roughest part of this year in small part by the help of this show and it's amazingly artistic and creative community.
For every positive, there is a negative. For every sweetness, there is a bitterness. For every light, a shadow. The week of September 12th was the shadow of a bright and amazing year. This was the week I experienced my first death of a family member, before my eyes. This was the week my grandfather died after battling with Burkitt's lymphoma for almost a year. While I am glad I was able to spends his last moments with him, I am still occasionally haunted by them from time to time, but I've spent plenty of time writing about this already this year, so I won't do anymore. Instead I will leave it to this quote:
"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant."
That was my 2011, and I wouldn't change it, given the chance.
I meant to write a blog post before going off to Vegas, but never got around to it, so my November retrospective is a little different.
As most of you know, I have been training since August to run a half marathon: the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas half marathon: the largest half marathon (this year with 44,000 participants). Well, during the month of November I did my longest training ever of 12 miles, and felt well prepared for what laid ahead.
Spoiler, spoiler, I completed the race, and in a better time than I set for myself: 2:50. I won't go into a rant here, but I was on track to go sub 2:30; however regardless of circumstances, I am happy to have done as well as I did. I achieved many great personal records: I ran the furthest I've every ran in a single blow, 7.5 miles. I've ran my fastest mile, mile two 9 minutes 39 seconds. Most importantly: I have finished a half marathon.
To truly understand why this is so important to me, I have to tell you a little story. When I was twelve (I think EDIT: I was eight, thanks, mom), I got my very first bike for my birthday. My aunt took me outside to teach me how to ride. I fell on my first go around…and I never got back on. It set a very negative precedent for my life: if you're not good at it at the first go, it's beneath you, and there's no point in doing it. I've missed out on a lot because of that.
This whole year, I have been reversing that train of thought; the moment I crossed the finish line, I pounded the final nail in the coffin. There is nothing I can't do; really, there is nothing any of us can't do. Every time someone tells me "A half marathon, wow, I could never do that!" I want to take them by the shoulders and say "yes, yes you can!"
Because you can; with the time, training, support, and force of will, you can.

So, on the wings of a 2.4lbs weight GAIN last week, my highest gain since starting my fitness and health lifestyle change, I decided to behave extra good. It paid off big time. After my 9 mile run I weighed myself to find that I lost 5.9lbs; this is, on the other side of the coin, my largest weight LOSS since starting (previously it was 5lbs). So why is this such a big deal?
I dropped below 280lbs, my next milestone, to 279.5lbs!
The reason 280lbs was my next milestone was simple: in all my time of cracking the whip to lose weight in college, I never got below 280lbs. I don't remember what it is like to weigh under 280lbs.
Between here and 365lbs, I knew what I looked like, the weight, as a number, was nothing I hadn't experienced before. Now that has changed. Everything from here on in is new… inexperienced by myself for a VERY long time; what's more, the amount of muscle gain I have in comparison to previous attempts is several times higher (I never did strength training before January).
So here we are, I've lost 21.5% body weight from my heaviest, and made my 280lbs milestone. Next stop, 250lbs milestone.
From this point on: here be dragons.
Fun fact: I wrote a whole blog post for my retrospective on the month of September, but never published it. Ultimately decided not to, but to keep it for myself.
September was a very rough month for me. My grandfather's fight against Burkitt's Lymphoma came to an end, and he died. As I have never lost someone close to me before, let alone seen it happen, it has been a very chilling experience; one that I know has rattled the family dynamic. In some ways, almost two months later, I'm still just going through the motions of day to day life; however, I am trying to get past that and find a new normal that includes fun and new things.
October has been a whirlwind of a month, I hardly believe that next week is November. In terms of my fitness, I feel like I've gotten very complacent with where I've been. While in September I bench pressed my highest amount of weight (235lbs) and ran the fastest I ever had (15mph), I struggled greatly with certain things during this month: especially planks.
You see, before I left for Seattle, I accomplished a 2:23 plank. Ever since, it hasn't been so good. I have had trouble getting any further than one minute. I wasn't necessarily tired or couldn't go further, mentally it was just difficult for me to keep going. Thankfully this past week I broke through that, and did a 2min plank with my trainer hopefully breaking out of a long standing funk.
A week ago, I also turned 25. I have been dreading this birthday, honestly. Birthdays, for me, mean time to be with family; this is something that I normally look forward to. While I by no means disliked my birthday, it was very…different, very quiet. Like I mentioned earlier, my family's dynamic has changed noticeably, and reasonably so. This was the first thing the majority of my family all got together for since my grandfather died, and it was just very…weird. While I knew that September 12th 2011 was "the day everything changed," this was the first time I've seen it first hand.
On a more positive note, I am excited to say that I am officially going to be in Las Vegas to run my very first half marathon in December. I received Avery generous donation from a UW-Oshkosh alum that helped me reach my donation goals. His donation came just in time, as I planned to not go through with it, and was very frustrated and disappointed with myself for not doing better. Instead wallowing in self-pity, now I will be running down the Vegas strip, and enjoying a three day vacation in Las Vegas. A fitting end to my first year of fitness.
There is lots to look forward to in the next few months. Breaking even more personal records in running, completing my first half marathon, going rock climbing another time (since that was technically my end of year goal), and more. I'm even picking up more hobbies I never thought
I would be doing. I've recently taken up doing vector trace art, converting regular images into infinitely scalable images. It's a little monotonous, but extremely relaxing, and something that isn't programming, or gaming, or fitness. It's something completely new, and I think I needed that.
Here's to a wonderful and fulfilling November, full of fun, happiness, and Christmas music. :)
I have been rather secretive this week about what has been going on in my life. Only three people outside of my bosses and family were privy to what happened (my trainer, and two friends). It was a very personal and private matter, that I only shared with very few other people for words of comfort.
Monday at work, I received a phone call from my mother saying that she was coming to pick me up, and we were going to my grandparents' house to see Jim (my grandfather). I proceeded to spend the last remaining 20-30 minutes of my grandfather's life at his bedside with every other member of my immediate family.
To say, as I have multiple times this week, that those moments will haunt me, the more I mull it over in my head, is incorrect. Those moments will forever be etched in my memory, and I am very grateful to have those memories. Their level of pain and distress will ease in time.
I have spent many hours and days, in the past year, and even more so over this past week, trying to come up with the right words to say during his funeral service on Thursday and, subsequently, here as well. Every attempt was futile, and ended in frustration. Instead what I chose to share with everyone then, and with all of you now, was my biggest regret and my greatest lesson learned. These are the final words I wanted my grandfather to know before he passed, but wasn't able to share:
"My grandfather was a very caring individual. He loved all of us, and we all loved him. I loved him. Even though we regrettably rarely ever said it to each other, it was known.
He taught me a great number of things critical to life. A fraction of which include:
Most importantly, my grandfather was much more than just a grandfather to me. As I have never known my own, he was like a father, as good as my father, in my eyes.
He taught me what it takes to be a real man. I am the man I am today, because of him."
I am extremely grateful for all of the times we spent together, and all he was able to see me achieve in life; especially this last year. He was able to watch me graduate college, start my journey toward physical fitness, and finish my first 5k. I am grateful for him to be my grandfather. I know he was proud, and would be proud of everything I've accomplished.
I am very lucky, as I keep telling myself, that I have not known death until now. No one in my close family (which consists of my mother grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins…yes, it is a lot) has died in my lifetime. That said, I now find it very hard to move on. While I know that my feelings have been felt by many people over the course of many generations, they still feel unique to me. I am trying to figure out how to cope. I am trying to figure out how to continue. I am trying to figure out how to not feel lost.
I am figuring out how to continue to be the man that he helped me become, today.

More resources from my post yesterday – Cyber Bullies - Reposted from Mashable.com
Originally appeared on My Life Scoop, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about using social media and technology for a more connected life.
I read this great article today that my friend forwarded me from the NYTimes. She herself does not have kids, but thought of all her mommy friends that might enjoy the read.
As Bullies Go Digital, Parents Play Catch-Up
By JAN HOFFMAN
Published: December 4, 2010
Parents trying to protect their children from Internet bullying are scrambling to catch up with the technology.
The article talks about how tweens and teens are now being bullied in cyber space and how that is spilling into their reality. I was amazed at the amount of kids that had experienced this type of act in their young lives.
I consider myself pretty progressive in teaching my kids about technology and social media. They have a MAC, they each have an iPod, they play online social games like Farmville and Pet Pet Park, one of them has a Facebook page and they know how to use email. Even my 5yr old has his own email address to stay connected with Grandma across the U.S.
Yet, even I am failing at teaching my kids the reality of cyber bullying. They know all about stranger danger, dealing with real bullies, and even online predators. If you haven't read anything about how to protect your kids from cyber bullying then this is worth your time.
One thing I do know from experience is that parents, teachers, and adults who don't do anything to address the bullies just perpetuate the problem. It is more responsible to have a 5min awkward conversation with another parent than it is to deal with years of hurt and pain from your child or another child being bullied.
I know we will be having a family pow-wow soon about the topic in my own home and I encourage you to do the same.

My friends over at Leo Fire Shop sent me this shirt just this last week. It's their newest design.
You can get the original and the newest edition for $34.99.
Head on over there and get a shirt now.
My non-firefighter friends have said nothing but great things on how cool this shirt is.
We are looking for firefighters to model LEO clothing for the upcoming website – no six-pack necessary. We are not looking for career models, just people with the LEO spirit and confidence to take photos wearing LEO gear.
We are looking for four people to be the face of LEO for our inaugural kickoff year.
Winners will receive:
- 1 year of bragging rights as the face of LEO
- Free access to the latest LEO gear
- A sweet cash prize*
If you're ready to answer the call, submit your name, contact info and a picture of yourself (HINT: if you have a LEO shirt take a picture wearing it!) to LEO (at) Leofireshop.com.

Let's be honest…fashion and flame-retardant rarely go together.

Why LEO? Look up the qualities of a Leo, the 5th symbol of the Zodiac – honesty, loyalty, self-sacrifice, courage, will, independence and fire. Sound familiar? Not only do these qualities perfectly embody today's firefighters, but they also embody the fire within – that special quality that every firefighter has – whether you are 5 years or 30 in service."

She was privy to the details of the transaction through her husband whereas Mr. Bennet was still being kept in the dark. The 10,000 was speculation on his part, IMO. Knowing Wickham why would he marry a young lady who was silly, ignorant and had neither fortune nor virtue? The inducement would have to be great. 3,000 to 4,000 was still a huge amount. Mr. Bennet couldn't afford it and even Bingley would have balked at spending almost a year's income on Lydia who was not even his relation. |

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Can you relate a joke that would definitely make even a lethargic audience laugh, aloud?
Please Login to ask or answer a question, or Register if you do not have a SearchWarp Account.
E.G. : News from a North Vietnamese newspaper, Thursday, stated that a rooster, named Longo, legally and officially was married, to a chicken named Lucille, and that after the ceremony, during the honeymoon, contrary to popular expectations and presumed stereotypes, the chicken came first.
Answers to this question:It was in the summer of 1881 in the town of Tombstone. A large three-legged dog walked into the Oriental Saloon. He stood up on his hind legs and laid his good foreleg on the bar.
The bartender said, "we don't allow yer kind in here," while reaching for his shotgun behind the bar.
Wyatt Earp had seen the dog come in and had left the Faro table. He motioned the bartender to stand fast as he faced off with the dog.
"It's my business to know what business strangers have in Tombstone," Earp said.
The dog met Earp's look with an equally unflinching stare as he replied, "Certainly, Marshall. I'm lookin' fer the the feller that shot my paw."
Penalty buzzer; three minutes in the penalty box and be quick to get off the ice!
Okay, I get it. Too much back story, especially if they're already lethargic.
You want the bull's eye with a quick shot from the hip even though the target may be way out of range.
The target is the comedy audience, always resistant to a facile, banal tale, and equally very hard to please.
"If it weren't for pickpockets, in New York, I wouldn't have any sex life, at all!"
"When I married my wife, she said that I was one in a million; boy, I found out later, that she WAS RIGHT!"
At a " Liar Contest " that had attracted a number of professional liars to compete to be the winner of the year. First winner would get $100,000.
Every "liar" was trying his best to present the best lie he could and finally came Peter who stood on the stage and calmly he proclaimed " All my life, I have never lied to anyone ! "
He was the winner.
This MIGHT give a close friend, sympathetic to you, a brief smile, comparable to the expression for having gas , but a lethargic audience would only uncomfortably shift in their chairs and privately think:" What a useless, obvious and unfunny non-joke THAT was!"
"I walked into a General Store to buy stuff, but they wouldn't sell me anything, SPECIFICALLY"

an eternal moment among many
She had worked five days that week,
not to mention all that needed tending to
in regard to house and children.
But now, save the soft leak
of birdsong through windows,
the house was quiet and still.
She felt a laziness
in body and mind,
and allowed it.
She found herself on the bed,
giving the woven blanket purpose
as it held her, giving her warmth.
There was no concern for
how long this moment would last,
nor for how much rest might be gained.
There was only
presence, breath,
and allowance.

The Portsmouth City Health Department will conduct a mass vaccination drill this Friday, July 22, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the campus of Shawnee State University to test the abilities of both organizations to efficiently provide flu vaccinations to the community in the event of an emergency. The exercise is for testing purposes only. No actual vaccinations will be provided.
"We hold periodic drills throughout the community to test our procedures and fine-tune our emergency response plans," Dr. Randy Schlegel, Response Coordinator for the Portsmouth City Health Department, said. "In this particular exercise, we want to test our procedures for drive-through vaccinations, where we would be able to mass vaccinate the public, while they remain in their vehicles. The drill will help us work out the logistics so that if we would ever need to implement our plans for a pandemic, we would have clear data that would tell us how many people we could get through in a given amount of time."
Chief David Thoroughman with the Department of Public Safety at Shawnee State University said that the drill will help both organizations become better prepared in a number of ways.
"This type of exercise not only helps test plans and procedures, but from our perspective, we will also be looking at facilities needs," Thoroughman said. "Our Athletic Center serves as a mass vaccination site in the event of an emergency. We don't want to wait until we have an emergency to realize that there is a specific need that we didn't plan on. By actually setting up in the space, involving the emergency response teams from both organizations, and working through the exercise, we will have a clearer picture of our needs – and any changes that we need to make."
The teams plan to hold a press conference immediately following the drill to discuss the success of the exercise and lessons learned.

no doubt it's a very fantastic dictionary...very good illustrations in English as well as in Hindi..explanatory sentences n idioms as n when required....overall a very good thing to have....but con is that it doesn't cover all the words...it could have made more than this...sometimes u will get disappointed when u don't get ur desired word's meaning....but i am too happy after getting it....
This is a very good dictionary indeed!! I see that people are condemning this merely because its not helping them enough for competitive exams. Its important to understand that its not easy to incorporate all the words of english and find an equivalent word for that in hindi. This is just a tool to help you graduate onto an english-english dictionary. So essentially, all bilingual dictionaries are only tools to make a person acquainted enough so that he is ready to use a dictionary fully in that language. So if you cant find your words in this dictionary, it means you know enough english to use an english to english dictionary.
Flipkaart's delivery is out-damn-standing!!
This dictionary can be useful for school students, but is a complete wastage of money if you are buying this for help in competitive eaxaminations. I am preparing for UPSC CSE and bought this.But, I find the book completely unsatisfactory. Rarely I get meaning of the word I am looking for, and usually have to go to other sources for clarifications.
By the way, service of flipkart is really very good as I got this book within 3 days after placing my order. Printing of the book is also good.

I got the latest edition of book with good packaging on time. Definitely there are limited words in the dictionary, but it has more words than its previous small edition of dictionary.
At the end there is quick grammar reference which is also very useful.
From me it is totally worthful to buy it.

TBS6984 works very well until signal is good. When rain starts, the signal dissapears and as a result video stops. This is expected. But when the rain stops and the sun comes out, signal becomes good again - video does not appears. Moreover, when I reopen program for watching - also no video, no errors. The only way is to restart my computer, after that all works fine. Windows 7 x64.
Is it a problem with drivers?

Jim Boeheim Gets 900th Career Coaching Win as Syracuse Holds On
Syracuse University's Jim Boeheim became the third men's coach in Division I college basketball history with 900 wins as the third-ranked Orange held on for a 72-68 home victory against the University of Detroit.
Boeheim's milestone win came with a struggle, as his team had a 22-point lead cut to three in the closing minutes last night at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York. James Southerland hit five 3-pointers and finished with 22 points for the Orange, who improved to 10-0 on the season.
The 68-year-old Boeheim, in his 34th year at his alma mater, joins Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as the only men's coaches at college basketball's top level with 900 career wins. Duke University's Krzyzewski is the career leader with 935 wins, followed by Knight's 902 victories.
Juwan Howard Jr., whose father starred at the University of Michigan before playing in the National Basketball Association, scored 16 of his 18 points during the second half to help Detroit fight back from a 40-21 halftime deficit. The Titans had a four-game winning streak end in falling to 6-5.

Huckabee Compares Abortion to Holocaust During GOP EventPosted on Feb 25, 2013
Delivering the keynote speech at the Celebrate Life forum in Iowa over the weekend, former Arkansas governor and current Fox News host Mike Huckabee claimed that abortion has become "this incredible Holocaust of our own in America." Previously, Huckabee had compared abortion to slavery and likened the U.S. debt ceiling to the Holocaust. "Fifty-five million babies. Fifty-five million babies since 1973 have died in what ought to be the safest place in the world, their mother's womb," the social issues conservative said. "It has become one of the most dangerous places for a baby to be. For us, this is not about the politics of Democrat or Republican, winning or losing—it is about our capacity to one day stand before a holy God and give an account for whether we stood between life and death for those who had no voice but ours." The event was put on by the Republican Party of Iowa. (h/t The Raw Story) —Posted by Tracy Bloom.

Summary Eduard Planting Fine Art Photographs specializes in selling and buying photographs by (inter) nationally well-known artists. Besides that, we regularly give attention to upcoming talent. In our opinion this creates an interesting mix and contrast between famous and unknown photographers. That same tense mix applies to the different styles and periods the photographs descends from, to the different materials used (from gelatin silver print to cibachrome) and the manner of framing (from classic black ebony to eye-catching dibond on aluminum). This mixture ensures that for every budget and for every interior an appropriate artwork can be found, for individual collectors as well as for collecting companies.
Eduard bought his first art object at an auction when he was 16 years old and he has continued to do so ever since. Initially solely as a collector, but nowadays as an art dealer as well. He studied law and art history and during his business career he became more and more interested in art, especially in photographs. Next to his passion as an art dealer, Eduard also is curator of the art collection of a well-known Dutch insurance company. Specialities
