In the past, if a Realtor or builder wanted to have the water turned on temporarily to clean or inspect the water lines, they would have to sign the same agreement and pay the same deposits that a new renter or owner would pay.
Realtors complained, and the Holley-Navarre Water System listened.
"There is a $25 service charge to cover going to the property twice to turn it on and off and the first 100 gallons are free," said general manager Ken Walker.

This isn't a singles record, this is an album; you put it on to hear the whole thing. The performance itself is tight and structured, just like the venue. The recording is especially atmospheric - the reverb bouncing off the concrete walls, the sounds of doors slamming in the background, and an interruption by a prison announcement. Cash and the band (which includes the brilliant Luther Perkins, and his brother Carl - think Blue Suede Shoes) seem unflappable and completely at ease, belying the actual tension of the gig.
This reissue restores the original recording to its raw, warts-and all-feel, in direct contrast to the sanitized version that I grew up with: four songs have been restored to the set due to increased available length, plus Cash's interaction with the audience and the profanity (tasteful by today's standards) has been re-introduced, revealing the incredibly gritty nature of this record. Plus, the packaging is incredible: the handwritten note from Cash, describing why he felt compelled to make this album, the liner notes, and an appreciation from Steve Earle round out the package to create not merely a reissue, but a full restoration.
If you are hungry for something more substantial than the latest Clapton disc or Zeppelin reissue, you won't regret a minute of this terrific album.
After reading these memoirs, you start to realize how much of an event this show must have been, not just to the inmates, but to Cash himself, who apparently is no stranger to Folsom Prison himself.
Johnny Cash is Badass, so if your thinking about picking up that new Creed CD, (not that you would be) DON'T! Pick this up instead.
So I went out and bought Folsom Prison, as I didn't have any Cash records in my collection. Let me just say: I wish I'd gotten this earlier, it's absolutely fantastic. Being in the South, I couldn't help but grow up with country music, but as I got older the modern stuff began to turn into Garth Brooks-like medeocrity dressed up in loud clothes, and I found more substance in the entire body of rock music (from the Sun Studio days to English punk rock). I never thought I'd like country music...until I realized that the older stuff, like Cash and Waylon and Willie, that was the good stuff. The rebels of country music weren't pre-packaged pretty boys who strutted around singing other people's words with the emotion of a too-good-for-my-pants primadonna. These were men who grew up during the Depression, who sang about the hard times, the heartbreak, the loss, the depravity of life.
So Johnny Cash and his peers keep me from hating country music entirely, and this (as well as the Oh Brother soundtrack) have found a welcome place in my record collection. RIP Johnny, you will be missed. I couldn't have picked a better record to get to honor your memory.

Loading... Watership Down (original 1972; edition 2012)by Richard Adams
Work detailsWatership Down by Richard Adams (Author) (1972)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. My dad *adores* this book, but I found it meh. Looking back this book is probably really good, but I seriously spent the entire time I was actually reading it wondering how the heck the rabbits thought they were going to start a new colony with all male rabbits! I absolutely adored this book. I don't know how I went so many years without ever reading it, but it was fabulous! I just loved the characters and was completely anxiety-ridden worrying about them, and laughed out loud at the various bits of silliness. A lot of the book could be considered a bit depressing, which is pretty true-to-life for any wild rabbit; as a prey animal their life is often spent running from larger animals and seeking safe places. But overall it is uplifting, a tale of struggle and perseverance. And Adams also filled it with all kinds of "history" and rabbit-lore that was really a joy to read. A wonderful book, for all ages. "Watership Down" may not start off with a bang but I could not put this book down towards the end. The 450 pages went quicker than I initially thought. "'Silflay hraka, u embleer rah,' replied Bigwig." Nope, this was certainly not a tale of cutesy-wootsy rabbits. The story follows a ragtag group of rabbits as they travel in search of a place to establish a new and safer home. "Watership Down" carried me across the countryside. It was a journey that I relished. I had intended to read this for years, and I couldn't have been more delighted as I began reading this amazing tale of a group of rabbits who struggle for survival against all odds. The author explores a myriad of themes: courage, struggle, leadership, faith, and man's general disregard for small creatures like rabbits. Now that I have read the book, and absorbed Adams' Lapine vocabulary, I don't think that I'll ever think of rabbits in quite the same way again. I certainly won't wait as long to read the sequel.
It would seem that in Adam's ardor for wild creatures he has tried too hard to make a case for them instead of allowing them fully to be their own recommendation. I'm grateful for much of what he's done, but I'm not going to look at rabbits differently from now on. Watership Down offers little to build a literary cult upon. On the American-whimsy exchange, one Tolkien hobbit should still be worth a dozen talking rabbits. This bunny-rabbit novel not only steers mostly clear of the usual sticky, anthropomorphic pitfalls of your common garden-variety of bunny rabbit story: it is also quite marvelous for a while, and after it stops being marvelous, it settles down to be pretty good- a book you can live with from start to finish.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380002930, Mass Market Paperback)Watership Down has been a staple of high-school English classes for years. Despite the fact that it's often a hard sell at first (what teenager wouldn't cringe at the thought of 400-plus pages of talking rabbits?), Richard Adams's bunny-centric epic rarely fails to win the love and respect of anyone who reads it, regardless of age. Like most great novels, Watership Down is a rich story that can be read (and reread) on many different levels. The book is often praised as an allegory, with its analogs between human and rabbit culture (a fact sometimes used to goad skeptical teens, who resent the challenge that they won't "get" it, into reading it), but it's equally praiseworthy as just a corking good adventure.The story follows a warren of Berkshire rabbits fleeing the destruction of their home by a land developer. As they search for a safe haven, skirting danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band and its compelling culture and mythos. Adams has crafted a touching, involving world in the dirt and scrub of the English countryside, complete with its own folk history and language (the book comes with a "lapine" glossary, a guide to rabbitese). As much about freedom, ethics, and human nature as it is about a bunch of bunnies looking for a warm hidey-hole and some mates, Watership Down will continue to make the transition from classroom desk to bedside table for many generations to come. --Paul Hughes (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:02:29 -0400) Chronicles the adventures of a group of rabbits searching for a safe place to establish a new warren where they can live in peace.

The SuperConditions Experience
Last year I worked with 100s of entrepreneurs-this year I am Championing 10 Leaders.
WHY? Because your Greatness deserves my total dedication.
There is a lot of WRONG-question-asking in the world right now.
(Oh, you sense it too? Yeah. I had a feeling.)
Here are some of those WRONG questions:
Why am I broken?
How am I broken?
Who can fix me?
And here are some very RIGHT questions:
Will this (giant risk, next move) work?
How can I be great(er)?
What am I truly capable of?
If you're (already) asking those RIGHT questions, then you are a Leader — and every Leader needs a Champion.
I am your Champion.
My job is to help you find answers to those RIGHT questions — to clarify your purpose, define your leadership style in your own words, and design operational structures for your best work on the planet.
As your Champion, I take you beyond workbooks, quizzes, assessments, 60-minute coaching calls or year-long mastermind circles.
Because after 15+ years in the field of community psychology & human capacity-building — coaching Olympic athletes, bestselling authors, industrial designers and straight up celebrities — I've discovered a little secret: rigid structures usually DON'T WORK for people who are asking the RIGHT questions.
In fact, most of my clients have already "done" the mastermind, the certification, the Masters degree (or three) … and are still feeling confounded. Still feeling limited in their capacity to earn / choose / decide / create / serve / do / be. After working with hundreds of entrepreneurs last year I realized what they need and want isn't another program or class to help reach greatness. They want a Champion.
So, I offer something different.
I offer an initiation into an Experience.
I call it The SuperConditions for Greatness Experience. You can call it whatever you please: Project AwesomeTown, My Daily Vitamins for Excellence, The Magnificence Project or Operation: Decide To Be Great(er).
This Experience is an opportunity to find your deepest WHY — and practice living it.
You will receive … Full & over-the-top access to me. Your very own oracle on call. No office hours. No scheduled dates. I am yours — when your palms are sweaty, when there's a risky dive on the horizon, when it's 5am & you're wondering, "Am I really allowed to want that / do that / be that?"
You will create … A set of operating principles that make it possible — even easy — for you to work & lead at your highest human capacity.
You will begin … The best & most important work of your life. (The work you can't even envision, yet. It's THAT Great.)
You will have … My full attention. (Remember the last time you gave someone YOUR full attention? Yeah. Prepare to luxuriate in … that.) I will be completely dedicated to your greatness . No fine print or complicated contracts-just call and I'll be on the line.
The Details
How much does it cost to have your very own personal champion? The investment is $1000 a month and I work with you for a minimum of four months. I have chosen to only work with 10 clients at a time so I can give you my full attention.
Before we both commit to the full immersion experience, you and I will have a single initiation session ($500). We'll dive straight into your WHYs. I'll answer your current questions and leave you with some new ones.
I am ready to be your champion.
If your intuition is on fire, singing out I don't know what this is, but I know it's what I neeeeeed … act on that electrical impulse.
Reach out to me — I'm at email@example.com & (310) 663-6630 — and let's talk about what makes you Great.
Dyana is magical, prophetic and potent; providing laser-focus, intuitive wisdom, and vast kindness that is unparalleled and unmatched. I have worked with her for more than three years. And though each context has compelled significant professional and personal breakthrough, it has been the cumulative, over-time reality that has transformed my business and my life.
It's one thing to hear and even apply a particular perspective or strategic process in a short-term, intense program; it's quite another to have the benefit and privilege of consistent, open-ended access, layers upon layers of discovery and growth, and the gift of tenacious and integrity-filled relationship. Long-term has made all the difference.
I cannot imagine not having the benefit of Dyana's voice in my head or my heart. I cannot imagine not advocating for her in the boldest and most powerful of ways.
Need more proof? Click here.
Feeling the LOVE? Click to share on Twitter (or wherever you hang out) …
Find your deepest why, and live it. @DyanaValentine bit.ly/dvsuper #SuperConditions

This is a classic trad route with lots of variety. All natural belay stations so be prepared with cordelette or slings for setting up your belay anchors. Pitch 1. Start on the left side of the wall and climb over a large flake up cracks that angle up to the left. About 40 feet up, traverse across to the right, downclimbing at one point. Pro is abundent, but be sure to think about protecting your partner. Put a set of opposing pieces at the bottom of the downclimb. Belay at the end of the traverse. Pitch 2. Climb the handcrack, moving onto the face to the right before you get up under the roof. Some large pieces are useful here. Traverse right 10 feet to the belay. Pitch 3. Follow the pretty finger crack up and left to the belay on a prow sticking out in front of a tree. Small cams or nuts work well. If you need to bail at this point, traverse right 20 feet to a set of bolted anchors at the start of the Hook. Pitch 4. Follows a tight chimmney up under the huge Schoolroom roof. Hard to protect with standard pieces and a pretty awkward squeeze. Good pro at the top of the chimney before the easy traverse to the left, passing under the roof. I found the pro on the traverse to be pretty marginal but the climbing is easy. Belay from the tree. Pitch 5. Climb straight up from the belay tree through a gully with sweet hand cracks. Walk for part of the gully and belay from a big dead tree. Scramble or rappel down to the belay tree with lots of webbing. From here it's a 60' rap to the "Schoolroom rappel" chains, and then another 90' rap to the ground.
You'll use a range of pro on this route, but a standard rack will work. The second pitch hand crack will take some large cams or hexes, and a big bro would be ideal on the hard to protect fourth pitch chimney, but not strictly necessary. A 60m rope is recommended for the second rappel.
In my mind, a three star route is something that screams to visiting climbers, "Come climb me!" I wouldn't recommend this route as a highlight of Wasatch climbing. In my humble opinion this route's pitches are too short in the sense that you never really feel like you get into a flow, and in the end, while it is worthwhile and has some cool moves, it felt more like a pain in the ass (climbing 40 feet setting up an anchor, another 40 feet set up an anchor, etc.)
John, thanks for your comments. Since I'm still a trad-climbing beginner, I appreciated the variety of the pitches, even that nasty fourth-pitch chimney. The short pitches were nice because my partner and I could actually communicate with each other (except for the final pitch). So for those reasons I'd still give it 3 stars and do it again. It did seem like it took forever to go not very far because of all the belay swapping. I've heard Schoolroom West is very fun and am anxious to try that one.
Did this one last spring break with my then girlfriend. One of my first multipitch trad climbs. Did the whole thing with a set of stoppers, thats it. Sketchy in some spots with that limited pro, especially on the slabby 4th pitch, but not too bad none the less. I think we did a variation called Schoolroom Direct (as I've seen it listed in some guide books). This variation goes directly up the crack on the lower right of the picture above, putting you right in line for the second. This avoids the long needless traverse. A much better start to a great climb in my opinion.
That's right. The Schoolroom Direct Variation is rated 5.7R in Ruckman's book. (The traverse from the top of the crack over to the first Schoolroom belay is runout) I haven't done it, but I've seen people combine this pitch with the 2nd pitch of Schoolroom and it seems to work quite well.
This route is ok, but not nearly as good as Schoolroom West. Definitely do the direct start(which really isn't R in my opinion), and finish it via the Movei Variation for more fun. Running some pitches together keeps things moving - you could probably link the first three if you do the direct start and can easily do the first two that way.
If u are a solid 5.6 or 5.7 leader this climb is great! Plenty of pro (except for p.4 where there is next to none). Good belays. A nice intro to multipitch climbing. Do the 5.7 direct to make it 3 stars. The "runout" is basically a two move traverse that should get you ready for the forty foot runout traverse on pitch 4.
Descent can also be made (60 m rope) by rappeling from "big dead belay tree" (@ the end of the 5th pitch) directly to the schoolroom rappel (the top chains of Chicken Rodeo route).
Not a classic, but a great route. I agree with the Gramm's, in that Schoolroom West is better. Lots of varied climbing on this route. Definitely a must-do.
I don't remember any 40 foot runout traverse.The traverse is a bit runout, but nothing longer than maybe 10-15 feet. I doubt the whole traverse is even 40 feet and I got a couple of pieces in it.
I'm pretty sure that the traverse from the top of the squeeze chimney to the bottom of p.5 is about forty feet! My memory could be fooling me however. And yeh, there is a place or two to put in some pro but... it's so easy that, for me at least, it wasn't worth the effort.
I believe Vince is trying to say, "There is a 40 foot runout traverse." What I gather from this is there is a 40 foot traverse that has runout, gear can be placed but it is runout. I agree that there is a bit of runout. You place a micro-cam at the end of the squeeze, and then traverse over. Until you get a larger (#2) Camalot in the vertical crack there is nothing else and that is about 20 feet of traversing. So yes, the chance of hurting one's self on a 20 foot pendulum into that west-facing wall is possible, therefore runout is the word. Not hard, not too scary, just kind of runout.
A nice way to mix it up: Pitch 1: Schoolroom Direct into the 2nd pitch of Schoolroom. Pitch 2: Schoolroom's 3rd pitch. Pitch 3: Recess Variation into the traverse. Pitch 4: Movie Variation. Now that is a 3-star link-up.
Pitch #4 disqualifies this route from being a 3-star. It's an ugly squeeze chimney, with limited pro, followed by a runout (albeit easy) traverse. We did the route via Schoolroom Direct, resuming the route above belay station 1.
I would classify the pitch 4 chimney more as a low angle off width than a chimney. I found that if stayed out of the crack and just arm barred the slot and the west facing wall it was actually enjoyable. We did the direct start and the movie variation. The direct start was great. Enjoyable crack with one balance move. The movie variation required a lay back under a roof which was too much for my tall frame and off I pinged.
If you climb the schoolroom direct variation (best option in my opinion, maybe scary for a fedgling 5.7 leader though) and runner well, you can go all teh way to the Hook ledge with a 60M rope. Great long pitch!! Then blast the hook! YEEHAW!
As far as beginner routes go this is a must do. The rock is ultra-sound, there are great ledges, bombmer protection abounds and each pitch has something special. The entire route can be protected safely with a moderate standard rack (including the chimeny and the traverse on the 4th pitch). Please just use care with the belay trees on the route for they add a sence of security and character to a great route.
This thing is so overrated it seems like I was belaying more than I was climbing.But pitch 2 and 3 were both really good. Pitch 4 I ended up slabing the 2nd half up it was so unappealing. But the mixed climbing techniques were a good reason to climb it slab, crack, chimney traversing, and some good old fashion face climbing, not on my todo list but ok.
Sweet route! Do the direct start, which doesn't feel R at all, and don't get inside the offwidth on p4. I made the mistake of using a foot way down in there and got dragged in the crack. Ended up whaling my way up with much scraping and grunting. It would have been OK had I racked everything on my left side. Just arm bar and go at it frog style with feet on the face. There is a bomber blue alien halfway up the offwidth, a #2 and a green alien to protect the traverse.
On the second pitch if you don't step out right and climb under the roof to the left, what would that be rated?
Probably "B/D 2", in the Brush/Dirt 1 - 5 rating system. So, not too bad.
The roof is quite fun with good gear. I was thinking it's rated 5.8. Once in the gully you are right about the brush and dirt. The little chockstone move in the gully is kinda fun also, but not really the best line.
definitly a great climb with a lot of varied climbing. the second and third pitches can be strung together on a 60m offering the meat of the route in one long pitch that definitly gets into a good flow. the traverses are time consuming to protect but they are easy and i think most people run it out a little.
As many others have already said, Schoolroom Direct is the best start. Pitch three (pitch two if you do the direct start) is the best but oh so short.
Awesome! We did the direct start and 5 pitch, and would be easier to link the first two pitches together. The offwidth is still the hard part for me, and I didn't feel too runout on the traverse, just as Nathan said it's at the the front of the traverse-it's 15 to 20 ft. between pieces-but great feet there.
With the sun setting, my partner and I decided to bail at what I think was the anchor for Mind Blow. If this is the case, I wonder about the finger crack of P3... ie, is it really a beautiful 5.6 finger crack or a 5.8+ R finger flare? Perhaps erosion has finally taken its toll on this route? Yes, this is my first time climbing in Utah so not sure if its just me and my crap route finding skills but I was hard pressed to find a 5.6 finger crack. I felt comfortable with the general grading scheme in LCC, sending Satan's Corner (5.8) without any problems but felt like I got my a$$ handed to my on this 5.6!! Would really appreciate some local knowledge on this climb, and comments on how (poorly) I routed myself through this classic LCC.
Got on this yesterday with my wife. I don't see how anyone would skip the Direct start. Great 5.7 crack... but not R. I dropped a super solid nut in at the top of the block/pedestal, slung it, and had it at my feet for the slab move... which was really just a mantle off the dish chickenhead. Good stuff. I combined the first three pitches (60m rope) but went off-route to the right and ended up at the bolt and chain belay ten yards right of the pine tree for the first belay. Had to traverse back to the tree once I brought my wife up and looked at the guidebook. The off-width/underroof "fourth" pitch was definitely R until the roof. I skipped the two slab bolts on the face and could only find one piece in the off-body crevice (running between the brush and the roof for 40 feet). But the traverse is definitely not R. As you can see in my pic above ("Eloise ready to traverse") I placed at least 3 solid pieces between the off-width and the LCC "Bonzai" tree. Fun, varied route. I'd love to get back on it and do the 5.8 Movie variation on the final pitch.
by far the hardest 5.6 I've ever done, downclimbing traverse on pitch 1, Off-hands to fists and elbows crack with reachy exit right pitch two, tiny finger(I couldn't get my fingers in there) crack pitch three, and miserable off-width pitch 4 there was one spot in the middle of the off-width that I was able to place a .3 BD cam way in in the ledge in the middle of the off-width, and on the fourth pitch traverse I used a .75 at the top of the off-width in the horizontal crack, a #4 BD cam in the wide part of the vertical crack in the middle of the traverse and a stopper in the horizontal 15 feet before the tree
Fun route that I will never forget. Pitch 1-Mostly simple. Once you reach the half way point you have no hands and slim feet. Pitch 2-Great pitch, I never look forward to it, but it's a good, short, sustained for a time. Great place to set up an anchored belay. Pitch 3-Short again, but fun. Great line for nuts. Opportunity for a short dyno near the end if you look for it. Pitch 4-One of the worst chimney's I've ever climbed. It's too narrow to climb in it, and I had the lingering thought that I was going to slip down and get wedged in it. If it were any more vertical you'd need a full rack of big bro's to protect. Pitch 5-Apart from being completely hammered by this point it was a lot of fun. We'd been in the sun all afternoon and I wasn't looking forward to leading this one. It surprised me. There was pretty good protection most of the way and a beautiful tree at the top to anchor to. Make sure you know where the rappels are and were you walk off. Beautiful view of Kermit's Wall from up there.
Just finished this route. 5.6 seems to be a great rating even though there are two slightly technical sections. I would not bring a first timer up it. THERE ARE RAP BOLTS UP TOP NOW They leave you hanging at the end of your rope about ten feet off the ground with a 60m, but no problem to down climb. I found two bolted routes at the top one was about 5.9 and the other 5.5ish (the beginning is super easy when you come on to the arete its classic LCC slab). The 5.5ish is a great lead route for the beginner you lead to the top. You can definitely skip a few bolts in the route. Enjoy the climbing season!!!
I felt the chimney was way more runout than Schoolroom Direct; most of my pro (what little I could get) was in suspect rock. Aside from that, the climbing was quite classic and only a 5.6! This would be a great notch in the belt for any beginning leader.
I thought this was an awesome climb. It was my first lead ever, I actually fell on the second pitch going up that crack, you gotta shove your feet in and it feels quite precarious I think. I got to the offwidth and I really didn't like it. I would say it's more like a 5.7 and you gotta make one really technical move and there is NO protection, if you fall you're going to go a ways, I couldn't even get one piece in until getting out of the offwidth.
I've read this entire thread and I've climbed School Room. I led the first pitch, but followed all other pitches. I'm hoping to lead the whole thing soon. I just have to say something about that 4th pitch OW. I've seen it done 2 different ways: 1) as an OW, and 2) and a chimney. Those who do it as an OW are grunting, while those who do it as a chimney fly right up it. I backed off the lead for the 4th pitch, because I got spooked by the run-out at the crux where it's steepest, but when I followed the pitch, I was surprised to see how easy it was to do as a chimney. The back of your right shoulder can be used on the wall. If it were steeper, however, it would probably be mandatory to do it as an OW. Oh, and exiting pitch 3 was where I struggled the most. I think I used some rope tention there. I never really figured out how to exit that pitch properly.
I swear I remember avoiding getting into the chimney/OW at all. That was years ago and my memory might be leaving me. I remember just smearing up the slab just left of the crack and throwing in a piece or two. Has anyone else done it this way?
I'm sure someone has done it that way, because I remember seeing a bolt on the face of that pitch.
3 stars when you combine the first 3 pitches with School Room Direct. Highly recommended. Easily done with a 60 meter. The traverse is the mental crux. I didn't like grunting up the chimney/offwidth.
the slab left of the offwidth is 5.9 and has two bolts
I think it is hilarious that so many people call the squeeze chimney pitch "miserable". Think of it as a teaching tool. Even more demonic, I would suggest that this short, wide section adds to the all-around classic feel of this route. So do it, then go to Yosemite Valley and tell me you aren't glad you did. Edited to address Boissal's comment below: I think getting in the crack is a perfectly fine style to ascend....I definitely had half my body in there and it felt more secure on the sharp end. It also gets the job done, doesn't have to be that strenuous, and gives a sense of full climbing engagement. Next time I might try it your way to compare!
I think it is even more hilarious that so many people call it an OW, something that typically involves serious grunting and body-parts jamming. This thing is a slab which happens to have a wide trough and a corner next to it. Paste your ass on the right wall, your feet on the slab and walk up! Sure, you can drop a leg in there and molest the edge of the crack all you want. It might even feel more secure which is probably what most people want when they start burrowing. It's like liebacking the Coffin though, it will get you to the top but it certainly isn't the way to get it done. If you want to get ready for Yosemite (I thought Vedauwoo was the epicenter of OW spray?), avoid bad beta and get on Crescent, there's a real OW for you.

EDL UPDATE - protest still ongoing
12:59pm Monday 3rd May 2010 in News
POLICE have sealed off an area in Dudley Town Centre while an ongoing protest takes place by members of the English Defence League.
Police were called to a disused building in Hall Street just after 11pm last night, following reports of a protest.
Protestors, many with their faces covered began arriving at the scene, chanting EDL songs.
No arrests were made, but one police officer and one local youth were taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries following a disruption.
Approximately four protestors gained access to the roof area of the building and are currently continuing their protest from the roof.
Armed with a banner saying 'No Mosque', the group, which is thought to include EDL leader Tommy Robinson, are also flying the St George's flag and the star of david flag, as they pump out islamic calls of prayer, as well as EDL rally calls over a loud speaker.
Officers, some dressed in riot gear, have cordoned off the area, including Dudley Southern Bypass, as well as as the area between Trindle Road and Dixons Green and are currently negotiating with the protestors and monitoring the situation.
Chief Inspector Matt Markham from West Midlands Police said: "We have always facilitated peaceful protests by members of the EDL and other organisations, but we do not welcome this kind of protest."
He added: "Our priorities are to minimise any disruption the local community in Dudley and to prevent any further incidents of disorder from occurring."
"Our message to anyone thinking of turning up with the intention of causing disorder is not to, as we have police resources available and any such activity will be dealt with swiftly and robustly."

So I was all ready to purchase the Surface RT this Friday. I just searched around about Firefox for W8 and found that it's not going to be available for RT!!
I don't mind using IE10 at all, but this will be a problem since I'm buying this for university and our university website where we can see our marks and stuff only supports up to IE8. It also supports firefox, chrome and some other browsers.
The surface isn't going to be much help if I can't access my grades, submit online assignments, and do online courses on it.
Can someone shed some light about this. Will there be Firefox for RT in the future? - 10-21-2012, 07:16 PM #2
There probably will be but not anytime soon. Microsoft is locking Mozilla and Google out of some of the key APIs that they insist they need to have a full function browser. They both have access to the Metro/Modern sandbox but want access to the desktop too and Microsoft's position is that the RT desktop is for a limited number of legacy apps and functions. I have some issues with the Microsoft stance as possibly being overly strident but, personally, I consider the Google/Mozilla position to be BS since they have known from the start that RT apps were to be sandboxed in the Metro/Modern component. Granted, I will admit I have developed a deep seated loathing for Google anyway, but my own opinion is they want all of the IE 10 WIN32 legacy APIs so that they can have another source of code and concepts from which to harvest for their own products for which someone else paid the bill. Mozilla is really just a puppet on this one since they are almost entirely dependent upon Google for the revenue to survive.
How about IE 10 Compatibility Mode. You know, for those older websites.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express ProNokia Lumia 900 - OS: 7.10.8112.7 - Firmware: 2175.1002.8112.12084
HTC Surround - OS: 7.10.8107.79 - Firmware: 2250.21.40500.502 - 10-22-2012, 01:23 AM #7
It does open and display the page in IE10. The one thing that doesn't work in IE 10 is the side panel, which is used for navigation. So basically I can log in and I can only stay in the home page; I can't navigate to the grades, assignments, etc. areas.
I think they actually do have support for IE 9 cause I just tried with my WP7 and it does work, but it doesn't on IE 10 (I'm using W8 release preview). - 10-22-2012, 07:59 AM #9
well it means your university isn't writing standards compliant code because IE10 should support standards based HTML and CSS better than any previous browser.
Yes mozilla is making a browser for windows 8/RT.

I haven't downloaded it yet...but if you have RTM you should try it. - 10-22-2012, 01:05 PM #12
According to ZDnet it's not been comfirmed by mozilla yet. So you never know yet. I know Microsoft didn't want any other browsers in the start screen...they may change it or may put limitation on what other browsers can do...
"Mozilla had not confirmed at the time of writing whether it would be making an ARM-compatible version of Firefox Metro."Last edited by Blackwood504; 10-22-2012 at 01:15 PM.
Compatibility mode doesn't work for me with some sites. Sites still say that I need to install Flash Player. But of course I can't do that for IE as the download is stopped due to IE having flash embedded. Had to install firefox and its relevant flash player. Sites work now with firefox. Maybe I need to do something more, don't know.
I also wanted a WinRT, namely Surface, but I may have to rethink it if I'm going to have viewing problems with IE. - 12-22-2012, 08:42 PM #15
Surface rt supports flash embedded which does just as well as regular sites however the issue you are having is rt also ONLY allows white listed websites to use the flash player. Try doing a google search for how to edit the whitelist. I can look it up later and post it here if you can't get it setup. You will also need to disable ms auto update of the whitelist or it will clear your entries.
Running IE 11 under 8.1 Preview here.
My university doesn't "support" many packages and versions that I still run. The staff will, nevertheless, still help with issues and questions. No support just means I have to do my own updating, learning, etc. Glad you were able to move on.X-Box Music Pass Rocks

The existing Kekaha Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) is projected to reach capacity in the coming years. Therefore, a new landfill facility will be required thereafter to achieve the project objective of providing for the proper disposal of all forms of MSW that cannot practicably be further reused, recycled, or otherwise recovered. Additionally, the County is committed to maximizing waste diversion via waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. The proposed project includes construction and operation of a both new MSWLF and a Resource Recovery Park (RRP). Based on a preliminary analysis of potential impacts due to the landfill and RRP, the County has determined that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required, and therefore this EIS Preparation Notice (EISPN) has been prepared.
The EISPN commits the County to conducting a State-of Hawaii Chapter 343 EIS, which includes several documents and opportunities for public comments and input. The Draft EISPN provides a general framework for the ongoing EIS process; indicates some of the special studies that will be conducted, including alternative analyses; potential impacts and a preliminary discussion of potential mitigation measures; and summarizes past project activities, including the Siting Study and the previous round of public comments and responses.
FEA-EISPN Kauaʻi LF-RRP
Meeting Handout
In order to achieve its waste diversion goals, the County has identified a Resource Recovery Park (RRP) as a critical element of the County's solid waste management strategy. A RRP is a 'one-stop service center' that is intended to include a comprehensive and integrated set of waste management programs and facilities to support maximization of the diversion of waste from the landfill via reuse, recycling, and recovery. Providing a single centralized location where residential and commercial entities are able to conduct all of their recycling and waste diversion activities can provide a synergistic effect, and help promote reuse, recycling, and reduction of waste disposal, while simultaneously allowing the County to achieve cost savings through shared resources and economies of scale.
The Draft RRP Feasibility Study (FS) analyzes Kauai's current waste generation, recycling, reduction, and reuse strategies, and provides projections of future waste quantities. This data is then used to analyze a host of potential recycling, reduction, and reuse processes that can potentially be implemented at the RRP. Finally, the expected costs and benefits of each potential process is analyzed, and preliminary recommendations are made regarding which processes are appropriate for Kauai's RRP.
Public meetings were held on January 28 and 29 to present the findings of this Draft RRP FS to the public, and to solicit public comments and feedback on the Draft RRP FS. The RRP FS has been finalized to address the public concerns. A preliminary design of the proposed RRP will be prepared for input into the ongoing New Landfill/RRP Environmental Impact Statement.
Final RRP Feasibility Study
Draft RRP FS Meeting Handout
Summary of Draft RRP FS Community Meetings
In May of 2012, the County of Kauaʻi Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Division, hosted four community meetings to obtain public input and identify issues to be addressed in the upcoming Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a New Municipal Solid Waste Landfill and Resource Recovery Park.
During the meetings, activities performed to date were briefly summarized, the EIS process was explained, and comments were solicited from the public to identify specific environmental concerns for consideration in the EIS.
Community meetings, were held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the following dates, times, and locations:
A summary of the meeting is attached here, along with the presentation and a meeting handout.

How Historians Research Can Add to Richness of Story, Experience Q&A with Addie Slaughter, The Girl Who Met Geronimo�s Susan L. Krueger and Reba Wells Grandrud Posted Aug 29, 2011 00:00 When retired teacher Susan Krueger decided to write a book - nothing interested her more to dedicate her time writing about than Arizona history. She decided to pursue a story on one of Arizona's most well-known families, a story that would become the historical fiction, first-person narrative, and Five Star Publications' book Addie Slaughter: The Girl Who Met Geronimo. While writers of pure fiction have complete control over their stories as the elements are pulled straight from their imaginations, historical fiction writers are held to a standard of telling a story that is rooted by events, circumstances, or characters in something that actually happened. And, in order to pursue the successful telling of heroine Addie's story, Susan enlisted the support, research, and eventual co-authorship of well-known Arizona Culture Keeper Dr. Reba Wells Grandrud, the John H. Slaughter Ranch historian. Read on to get a better idea of just how inspiring of a story can result from the creative partnership between writer and researcher in the writing of historical fiction as Susan and Reba talk about how they worked together and how the story that transpired. 1) Q: Susan, to begin with - what inspired you to write Addie Slaughter: The Girl Who Met Geronimo? Susan: It was a trip to the Slaughter Ranch in Cochise County. Reba Grandrud, who was historian during the restoration of the Slaughter Ranch, made arrangements for our writers' group to stay on the property. While we were there, she presented her talk on the Slaughter family. I realized students would relate to the children who lived on the ranch, specifically, Addie. 2) Q: Susan, what sort of research did you do to help you write it? Susan: Reba and my collaboration made all her painstaking research available to me, including the stories that Addie had told her own daughter about growing up in Tombstone and on the ranch. 3) Q: Reba, can you talk about why this project interested you? Your historical study and knowledge of the Slaughter family is very extensive, isn't it? Reba: I have researched and written about the John H. Slaughter family since I was asked to serve as project historian in 1983 for the restoration of the Slaughter ranch home in rural Cochise County, Arizona. John and Viola Slaughter were "legends in their own time," vital personalities whose far-flung ranch with ever- flowing springs was strategically situated on major travel corridors of that period. After the restoration project was completed, I continued to research and write about the Slaughters, their friends and family, and their importance in the history of the Arizona Territory and early statehood. I was privileged to know Addie Slaughter's daughter, Adeline, as well as others who were close friends or neighbors of John and Viola Slaughter. So, yes, I have learned a great deal in the almost three decades that I have been interested in the family, the time, and the place. 4) Q. Did all of the research precede the actual sitting down and writing of the story? Reba: As indicated above, my research and writing about the Slaughters and their San Bernardino Ranch began in 1983 and continues to the present; one of my popular lectures for the Roads Scholar Speakers Bureau of the Arizona Humanities Council is "Cora Viola Slaughter, Southern Arizona Ranch Woman," and I am working on a long-overdue book. The idea for writing Addie, a children's book, came from Susan after I arranged a weekend stay at the Slaughter Ranch for our writing group. I provided materials, photographs, and reviewed the manuscript for historical accuracy. Addie's daughter, Adeline (mentioned in paragraph above) gave me original copies that she had written down of what she called stories her mother had told her. Adeline's mother, Addie, died in 1941. Adeline, also, gave me original photographs of her mother, in addition, to a number of known Slaughter photo albums in several museum collections and in my possession. 5) Q: What was the most difficult part of writing it? Susan: Because I had so much good information about Addie's life, I didn't find it difficult to write. I did try hard to make it sound as though Addie was telling her story in her own words. 6) What was your favorite part of the writing it? Susan: I love family history. I get great pleasure in the knowledge that Addie's stories that were preserved by her daughter have been made available to today's children. 7) Q: How long did you work on this project together? Reba: I believe from it was about two or three years or so from the time we enjoyed the ranch outing until the book was published. Susan is a disciplined writer so finished the manuscript rather quickly. 8) Q: Do you have any new or future projects in the works - either individually or together? Reba: Yes, we are thinking of collaborating on several other children's books, drawing on historical figures in Arizona's history. 9) Q: Reba, beyond your work with Susan, have you ever collaborated with any other historical fiction writers for their novels? If so - who? Reba: No, I have not worked with anyone else in the manner in which Susan and I collaborated. In our writers' group, I do often provide historical accuracy to one of our members who has completed a trilogy of historical fiction. 10) Q: Reba, how would writers anywhere in the world, or especially in the United States who are interested in partnering with a historian for their books' research find someone like you? Reba: Such writers would do well to attend historical lectures, and visit local or state historical societies, and ask about people who are doing research in the specific area in which the writer is interested.

Crime and entertainment at Franklin High
from the article by Rick Holmes in MetroWest Daily News:
When outrage-inducing incidents become media sensations, the authorities respond with the tools they have available. Educators point to politically popular "zero tolerance" policies.
....Police charge the thugs with whatever laws they can find — even unlawful wire tapping — and set the wheels of justice turning. There will be lawyers and hearings and plea bargains, fines and probably time behind bars.

Art helps heal crime's wounds
from the article by Howard Zehr in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
I admit it. Sometimes I have Philly envy. Philadelphia has a Mural Arts Program, and the community in which I live does not.
....I have been drawn to the arts as a way of reframing the challenges of crime and trauma. The arts can engage the whole person to express or understand the harm done and help harness heart and intelligence to reduce isolation. The arts can provide a way to explore what can be done to give back, and to give voice to the full range of human experience. The act of creation can restore a sense of meaning and agency to those who harmed and those who have been harmed.

Smart on crime: Why reforming criminal justice is now a Conservative issue
from the article in The Economist:
....It is not only in Britain that criminal-justice reform has become a right-wing issue. The Right on Crime initiative, a creation of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a think-tank, counts leading Republicans such as Newt Gingrich and Jeb Bush among the fans of its campaign to divert more offenders from prisons to non-custodial sentences. Half of all American states voted to reduce the use of custody last year.
There is plenty of room for relaxation in punitive America, which locks up almost one in 100 people (England and Wales put away fewer than one in 500). But similar forces are at work in both places. Fiscal pressure is mounting. Overall crime rates are falling. And stubborn reoffending rates suggest that some things are not working.
Prisons are one of them.

from the story by Virginia Hennessey for the Mercury News:
The brother of murder victim Kristopher Eric Olinger and the man who unexpectedly admitted killing the Monterey High School student hope to find some peace as part of the "restorative justice" program.
Angel Ruelas' plea Tuesday was a stunning development that came nearly 15 years after Olinger's horrific murder, six years after the defendant's arrest and moments before a pool of prospective jurors were brought into the courtroom for trial.

Growing past hate: 'Restorative justice' helps heal pain from teens' vandalism
from the article by Fred Van Liew in the DesMoines Register:
In March of 1994 members of the Temple B'nai Jeshurun in Des Moines awoke to find neo-Nazi graffiti scrawled on the side of their synagogue. There were no immediate suspects, but there was anguish, anger and outrage.

so, I just picked up a package of the Tilapia....Herb Encrusted Parmesan. These are the instructions for a Convection Oven (which I prefer using).
Pre-heat to 400.....remove all packaging, place fish on a foil lined sheet pan, crusted side up. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 16-21 minutes UNCOVERED until flesh is opaque etc etc etc.
Now, I know how to bake fish but how could a company let these type instructions go out on it's packaging?
As a follow up, the fish was delicious. The instructions call for putting the fish on foil, I sprayed it with Pam, which I suggest. (the foil not the fish).
Also, I used the convection oven, covered the fish for about 8 minutes, then uncovered for about 10.
This is a great dish for anyone that wants to save a little time.
Yum! I LOVE this line. The single portions, the sauce, the ease of baking, the quality of fish - WOW! this is a winner! Keep it up Safeway!
Thanks Jean! I'm glad you find the Waterfront Bistro line as convenient, delicious and high quality as I do! It's a total win on both taste and ease of cooking!
So I found this waterfront bistro wasabi sauce when I was in Hawaii and now that I'm back in the states I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it. It's awesome by the way.
It's Waterfront Bistro Wasabi seafood finishing sause
Just shared the WFB Free Honey-Spice Breaded Shrimp with a co worker for lunch! YUM!! Enough for 3 or more, but sooo good we ate it all by ourselves. Finallly something Gluten Free that doesnt taste like cardboard! Can't wait to try the GF Panko cod & shrimp! Thanks for making something gluten free and GOOD tasting!
Hi all
I just opened a Shrimp Alfredo Skillet meal for two. It is advertised as having pasta, shrimp and roasted asparagus and bell peppers in it. Well, it DID have a lot of pasta, a few shrimps, 5 or 6 unidentifyable little red and yellow pieces and exactly THREE tiny little pieces of asparagus!! To be shared by two....!!!
The meal tasted very good, but please folks, don't buy it unless you are planning on adding your own veggies!!!! You really can safe your money otherwise!
Thank you for the feedback! We are always looking for ways to improve our products and comments like this are very helpful. We will forward your comments to our Corporate Brands Team for further review.
WaterfrontBistro has a line of smoked salmon that is superior to other brands. Specifically, it is the 4 oz., hermetically sealed farm-raised salmon that is sold alongside wild Alaskan salmon. It is extremely hard to find; there is plenty of the sockeye and wild salmon, but not the farm-raised salmon. I would like to be able to have this salmon regularly. Is there a way I can order it myself? A store that always carries it?
We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying our Waterfront Bistro smoked salmon! If you contact us at email@example.com with your store location, we'd be happy to forward your request to the Buyers in your area.
Generally like all the fish we have tried, tilapia and salmon. I found the Mediterraneau Pacific Salmon TOO SALTY!!! and hope you will revise that recipe.
Thanks for a convenient and healthy yet easy dinner.
Hello! I noticed that waterfrontBISTRO's Argentine Scallops are listed on the Marine Stewardship Council's list of Certified Sustainable Seafoods, and that's great to know! My question is whether your other products also carry the "Certified Sustainable" qualification and just somehow were not included on the list by the MSC? I'm trying to buy only those foods that are approved by the MSC as much as possible for my family, but we also need gluten free products, so I would love to know if your products such as GF Honey-spice breaded shrimp and GF Panko cod and shrimp that were discussed above are also certified sustainable. Thank you!!
Tess, our Waterfront Bistro Panko Cod is MSC Certified. Our Honey-Spice Breaded Shrimp is not eligible for consideration for MSC Certification as it is a farmed product, and MSC only deals with wild species. Thanks for your inquiry and have a great day!
The Tilapia is good, but the Shrimp is terrible. it tastes like dog food. i'd like to try the Salmon though.

The New Testament in Antiquity
Price: | $32.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
Today many Christians know the basic elements of this story and enjoy an intimate, deeply personal love for numerous passages of the New Testament. However, few understand the breadth of this story, much less how to interpret each book. Many gravitate to familiar texts but don't feel confident interpreting other more difficult chapters. The aims of this book are simple: to assist students to become alert, capable readers of the New Testament---to guide them through its many books, giving not only
Hardcover, Printed$49.99
The New Testament in Antiquity is a textbook for college and seminary students penned by three evangelical scholars with over fifty years of combined experience in the classroom. Their challenge was to build a text that would be engaging, academically robust, richly illustrated, and relevant to the modern student. This book strikes a balance between being accessible to all students and challenging them to explore the depths of the New Testament within its cultural worlds.
The New Testament in Antiquity carefully develops how Jewish and Hellenistic cultures formed the essential environment in which the New Testament authors wrote their books and letters. It argues that knowing the land, history, and culture of this world brings remarkable new insights into how we read the New Testament itself. Numerous sidebars provide windows into the Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman worlds and integrate this material directly with the interpretation of the literature of the New Testament. This is an ideal introductory text for classroom use, with ample discussion questions and bibliographies.

Nothing says MC like a vintage-style Little Radio. An iconic design charged with nostalgia, it'll drive the other grown-up kids in the office to distraction even more than your (questionable) taste in tunes. The limited edition storage box is hand-carved in Ghana by skilled craftsmen; it opens up to reveal roomy storage space for your trinkets. Staplers, post-it notes or snacks—hide your precious picks from your arch-nemesis across the desk. They'll never think to look in there.
Not a real radio. This item is hand-carved, so it might have smudges and cracks (but the wonkiness adds a certain je ne sais quoi). No two are alike so product might vary slightly from that shown. Limited edition.

Pretty standard fare Campanile hotel, although a bit odd in that the reception is in a separate building from the rooms. To get access to the rooms you... have to leave the reception building and walk round the back, then climb a spiral staircase which is open to the elements onto an outside balcony. The rooms open straight onto the balcony (think Butlins chalets). The room and bathroom were both clean. Again a bit odd in the bathroom though in that the shaving mirror was over the toilet instead of over the sink! Ample car parking space (locked at night). Hotel is a few minutes' walk from Roubaix Grand Place where you can get the métro into Lille. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 13, 2013

It is important to appreciate that when IL2 was first introduced to treat RCC and Melanoma it was thought to stimulate the immune response. Over recent years we now know that this "master cytokine" does the opposite and is also responsible for the homeostatic termination of that same response via its influence over the stimulation and maintenance of regulatory T cells. So its not surprising with this contemporary understanding that IL2 RX doesn't work very well in most patients.
It is our view, that if the patient is accurately immune monitored and the administration of IL2 is synchronized with the appropriate phase of the immune response, the complete response rates will increase from a random ~7% in these two very different cancers to much higher numbers and perhaps approaching 100%. This is discussed in our 2012 paper below

Weipa's the bomb
28 April 2006
As we head into another cool winter and some of the crocs start to slow down, the croc team has to work a bit harder to get the most out of the crocs and ensure the exceptionally high standard is maintained for the outstanding CrocsLIVE shows. Because crocodiles are cold-blooded, the cool air temperature affects their metabolism and energy levels and tends to slow them down during the cooler months.
One exception to this rule is Weipa the wild caught crocodile from western Cape York. Weipa is one of the most dangerous crocs here at Australia Zoo; even our Head Crocodile Keeper Tubes Millyard who is scared of absolutely nothing (and even has a small 'No Fear' tattoo on his ankle) is very cautious of Weipa's explosive strikes from the water's edge. Unlike most of our other crocs, Weipa rarely hand-feeds and is always looking at the keeper when he strikes out for some food. Luckily all of the croc team are extreme athletes and always give Weipa plenty of room and respect. It's just what we do.
Until next time, Weipa and 'No Fear Tubes' RULE!

Original story published July 13. Updated Aug. 12.
Update: On Aug. 4, DuPont stopped selling and recalled Imprelis. On Aug. 11, the Environmental Protection Agency banned the sale or use of Imprelis, at least temporarily. According to the EPA:
This action follows EPAs investigation into why a large number of evergreens and other trees have been harmed following the use of the herbicide. In its evaluation, EPA is investigating whether these incidents are the result of product misuse, inadequate warnings and use directions on the products label, persistence in soil and plant material, uptake of the product through the root systems and absorbed into the plant tissue, environmental factors, potential runoff issues or other possible causes.
Dupont's new herbicide, Imprelis, is considered prime suspect in the death of green living things. That shouldn't be a surprise, given that it's designed and marketed to kill lawn weeds like clover and dandelions. But nearby trees white pine and Norway spruce (both sold as Christmas trees) are also dying in enough cases that the company and environmental officials have launched investigations.
Dupont mailed a letter dated June 17 to customers stating that "Our turf development team has been investigating these reports and we are trying to better understand the circumstances and whether the various symptoms are related to applications of DuPont Imprelis herbicide. Our investigation is not complete and we are working to determine what variables may have contributed to the symptoms being observed."
Dupont notes that its chemical might have been applied improperly in cases that trees were damaged, it often wasn't the only chemical used, these species may have been stressed for reasons unrelated to any chemical, and that it has many reports of safe usage without damaging nearby trees. Nonetheless, Dupont recommends that golf courses and others using Imprelis take care not to use it near Norway spruce or white pine.
"When applying Imprelis, be careful that no spray treatment, drift or runoff occurs that could make contact with trees, shrubs and other desirable plants, and stay well away from exposed roots and the root zone of trees and shrubs. Consult a certified arborist if you are uncertain about the root zone of specific tree species."
The story was first reported by the Detroit Free Press, which suggests the damage from the tree damage could reach into the millions of dollars. Trees are dying throughout the Midwest, East and South in numbers on par with losses from the emerald ash borer, a voracious invasive beetle. Landscaping companies are worried about liability claims, and both federal and state environmental officials are investigating, the paper reports.
Clover, incidentally, need not be considered a weed. Dandelions can be considered salad. They, among other plants known collectively as "broad-leaf weeds" can, however, be kept at bay using organic lawn care techniques that avoid the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers that often have undesireable or unintended effects on the local environment (or your family's and pet's health). Our Green Cheapskate also recently shared 10 homemade weed killers that are nontoxic (and, of course, cheap).

Grilling with liquid
Every grilling party suffers from it at least once: dry, flavorless meat that has been either overcooked or otherwise improperly prepared. It can happen when least expected. A little distraction--of which parties naturally provide--and meat can go from succulent to cinder in the blink of an eye. Because grilling can at times be tricky, an ounce of prevention (or in this case 12 ounces) can be worth a pound of cure deliciousness. And if that little bit of forethought makes for a better-tasting, juicier steak, well I'm all for it.
