I N S I D EGrantees Announced
"Weĺre one of the most wired cities in the world, but thereĺs still much we can do to bring the benefits of this technology revolution to all segments of our city." -Mayor Greg Nickels The celebrated new Central Library opens Sunday, May 23, 2004 at 1000 Fourth Ave. in downtown Seattle. The new civic icon will house more than 1.4 million books and materials, and is expected to draw more than 8,000 visitors per day during its first year of operation, doubling the previous capacity of 4,000 visitors per day in the old building. The new Central Library was designed to be user-friendly, featuring a mix of formal and informal spaces within a total of 362,987 square feet. There will be underground parking for about 143 vehicles, where the old building featured only 206,000 square feet and offered no public parking. More than 400 public computers will be available in the new building, where the old building had capacity for only 75. The new library boasts more than 50 databases and other electronic resources. It also features an advanced automated book check-in and sorting system. The new Central Library will also have wireless Internet access, so that patrons can use their wireless laptop computers to access the Internet at any location in the library.
The non-fiction section will be located in the Books Spiral, a series of flat tiers, connected by gentle ramps. A gradual slope of about two degrees winds through the four floors of book stacks. The spiral is an architectural organization that allows all patrons - disabled and able-bodied alike - the freedom to move throughout the entire collection without depending on stairs, escalators and elevators. Your opinion matters! CTCNet National Conference Web site The leading international community technology conference will be held June 10-13, 2004 in the Seattle area, and will feature nearly 50 sessions and a variety of special features, networking opportunities and other events, including a June 10 Pre-Conference Day of intensive workshops and activities.

More than 400 public computers will be available in the new Central Library, due to open May 23. thirteen community projects get bill wright tech matching fundsThe City of Seattle has approved funding for 13 community technology projects from the annual Bill Wright Technology Matching Fund (TMF) totaling $85,200 with a community matching contribution of approximately $170,000. With three of the awards, Seattle becomes the first city in the country to provide technology matching funds for electronic democracy projects. The Bill Wright Technology Matching Fund (TMF) projects will increase residents' access to the Internet and grow their technology skills for employment, education and civic participation. This year's projects will use a variety of technologies, including web-logging (blogging), wireless (Wi-Fi), digital photography, and PDAs (handheld computers). Each year the fund supports neighborhood groups and organizations with projects to increase technology literacy and access. The "electronic democracy" projects will use information and communications technology to raise awareness of issues and increase resident participation in community problem solving. These organizations understand the importance of applying technology to build economic opportunity and healthy, education families," said Mayor Greg Nickels. "These Technology Matching Fund projects will reach some of our neediest residents, providing training and electronic civic engagement projects for youth, seniors, families, immigrants and refugees." Recommendations for funding projects are made by the Citizens Telecommunications and Technology Advisory Board (CTTAB). CTTAB is a fifteen member volunteer board appointed by the Mayor and City Council. CTTABĺs purpose is to advise the Mayor and City Council on issues of communitywide interest relating to telecommunications and technology. The Technology Matching Fund was established in 1997 to support the communityĺs efforts to close the digital divide and encourage a technology-healthy city. The City renamed the matching fund in memory of Bill Wright, a Central District community leader who embodied the programĺs goal of creating digital opportunity for all and using technology tools to build strong neighborhoods. Since the program began, the City has contributed over $1,061,000 to 77 projects with community contributions totaling over $2,386,000. For more information on the Bill Wright Technology Matching Fund, visit seattle.gov/tech. Following are the 13 projects approved for funding this year: American Lung Association Community Day School Association Emerald City Outreach Ministries Homewaters Project International District Housing Alliance Lighthouse for the Blind Literacy Source Metropolitan Improvement District Phinney Community Technology Center Sacajawea Elementary PTA Seattle Goodwill Industries Vietnamese Friendship Association of Seattle YMCA of Greater Seattle student tech interns @ no cost South Seattle Community College (SSCC) has a number of highly skilled computing technology student interns available to nonprofit organizations and also to businesses. Graduating students will provide the following skills to your org at no cost.
To learn more on how to obtain one or more SSCC computing technology student intern(s), please contact: Pamm Hubbard, SSCC Internship Coordinator, (206) 764-7935. phinney gives good programFour years ago, the Phinney Neighborhood Association received a Technology Matching Fund matching grant from the City of Seattle to develop a new Community Technology Center for residents of Seattle's north end neighborhoods. The resultant center offers nine teaching stations and two community access stations, plus printer and scanner available for public use. The public access stations are available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Phinney CTC has been up and running for more than two years, offering new classes each quarter. The lab has developed a wide curriculum. The usual basics classes, such as word processing, spreadsheets, the Internet and email are perennial, however they also offer next-level classes on how to use auction sites, make online reservations, and generally how to safely shop online. In addition, on most Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Phinney CTC is open for free informal help. They'll even try to help fix a broken computer. On Saturday mornings, informal workshops include sessions on how to buy a computer, computer protection and maintenance, hardware, researching, cd-burning and more. One class, "New Lives for Old Computers," allows a student to "bring your computer to class and go home with your computer running Linux." Certain stipulations apply, so interested parties should call (206) 783-2244 for more information. A comprehensive list of classes is available at the Phinney CTC web site. Tuition varies, but is kept affordable. Phinney Center members get a discount. For more information, check out their web site. The Phinney CTC is located at 6532 Phinney Ave. N. in Seattle. hosting a vista? get pro-active!Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) will soon assign their volunteers for the upcoming 2004-2005 term.

Ask for Sharon Freeman. Puget Sound Alliance for Community Technology (PSACT) is seeking applications. Their ideal VISTA will possess knowledge and comfort with technology and the ability to learn quickly, communicate and coordinate effectively with multiple stakeholders, i.e., staff, board members, members, and outside agencies. Cultural sensitivity and awareness is a must for working in diverse communities. Experience in database, web design and software applications preferred. Program management experience helpful. Email a resume to Sandra Mears, executive director, PSACT, or snail-mail a hard copy to PSACT, 157 Roy Street, Seattle, WA 98109. Note: If you know of any current VISTAs who need work to complete their 2003-2004 terms, Rainier Beach Community Center CTC is seeking help with sustainability planning, marketing, networking and partnerships with other community-based organizations. They have often hired previous volunteers, so this could become a win/win situation for all involved.

Fri, Jun 06, 2008
On the same day it announced massive cutbacks to its mainline fleet and operations, Continental Airlines also announced it reached a new seven-year capacity purchase agreement with ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. to provide regional jet service for Continental.
The new agreement, effective July 1, locks in service rates lower than rates under its current agreement, and more competitive with those offered by other regional service providers.
The new contract will continue ExpressJet's feeder operations for Continental. The base agreement covers flying by ExpressJet of a minimum of 205 regional jets in the first year, and a minimum of 190 regional jets thereafter.
In addition, ExpressJet has the right to return to Continental 39 Embraer 50-seat regional jets that ExpressJet currently uses for non-Continental contract flying. Continental plans to add the returned aircraft to the new agreement and withdraw from the agreement up to 30 of its Embraer 37-seat regional jets currently flown by ExpressJet for Continental. The Houston-based airline will then sublease or ground all of the withdrawn Embraer 37-seat regional jets to better align regional capacity with current market conditions.
Additionally, the agreement reduces the rent Continental charges ExpressJet on 30 other regional jets that ExpressJet will retain for seven years to fly at its own revenue risk.
Continental and ExpressJet also entered into a settlement agreement and release of all the parties' claims relating to payments and rates under the original capacity purchase agreement, including all disputes previously disclosed as possible matters for arbitration.
As ANN reported, Continental Airlines announced in December 2005 it would withdraw 69 of 274 regional jet aircraft from its original capacity purchase agreement with ExpressJet, which up to that point was the exclusive operator of regional jet services for the airline. That decision spurred ExpressJet to launch operations under its own brand with those 69 planes, while also continuing to provide feeder service for Continental.

Top 10 Tips for Weight Loss
Top 10 Tips for Weight Loss
I've said it before and I'll say it again: There are no easy, quick ways to lose weight. If you want proof, just look around. Today we have more fad diets, diet pills, and low-fat foods on the market than ever before, and yet we also have more obesity and obesity-related illnesses than in decades past.
The only way you can lose weight is to combine increased physical activity with healthy eating. The goal is to gradually and consistently lose because if you lose any more than one to two pounds a week, your body will be shedding lean muscle mass rather than fat, and that's not good at all.
My Top 10 Tips for Weight Loss
I don't recommend trying to start them all at once. That's a set-up for becoming overwhelmed. Instead, incorporate a few, and then gradually add more when you're ready.
- Eat natural, high-fiber foods and include healthy fats—monunsaturated fats and omega-3s--as much as possible. Periodically use a juicer to make fresh juices, which are abundant in health-promoting enzymes.
- Exercise at least five hours a week.
- Drink water—8 to 12 glasses/day of distilled water or water in glass bottles is preferred.
- Get lots of fresh air; make it a point to enjoy the early morning hours outside.
- Avoid most processed foods, chemicals, trans fats, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and preservatives (nitrates, benzoates, MSG, etc.).
- Take vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, especially magnesium, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), L-carnitine, and chlorophyll (green foods).
- Forgive yourself and accept yourself exactly the way you are. You can't heal if you're harboring anger. Acceptance is also the only way to be able to accept others where they are.
- Reduce stress. Take up qigong, T'ai chi, yoga, or meditation. Pray more. (These are in addition to other exercise.)
- Seek out connections. Get support from friends, your spouse or partner, church, or synagogue--even a pet. Losing weight can be a very lonely proposition. For my patients with heart disease who need to change what they eat, I always put the spouse on the same eating plan because it's healthy for them, too, and that way the patient is more apt to stick with it.
- Seek out healthy ways to nurture yourself daily. Get a massage or a haircut, take a hot bath, go to a movie, play with your pet, read that novel you've wanted to read.

I bought this t-shirt because I liked the logo! There were only a few sizes left in stock, so I had to buy a size smaller than I normally would, but this was actually a good thing as it fits perfectly. It is fairly long, so it doesn't ride up under a rucksack like some tops. I hope to make other walkers laugh as much as I did at the logo! A brilliant purchase at a fantastic price.
07/07/2013 07:42:37
Great fit designed for females - fabric is great and light and comfortable to wear. Washes up really well and irons a treat. Have been back and bought more and will be adding to my collection again soon - would have thought twice at the original price but what a bargain in the sale! Live overseas and getting lots of comments on the logos too - colours are fantastic
27/06/2013 10:20:22

A Fitting Welcome
The Tester campaign had some fun with Congressman Rehberg today with a full page ad in the Great Falls Tribune.
Here's the ad, which you can click on to allow you to see a larger version.
Rehberg is having a fundraiser tonight in Great Falls at which John McCain will appear, the Great Falls Tribune reports.
The Tester campaign's ad thanks John McCain for his opposition to Citizens United, which McCain called:
"the worst decision of the United States Supreme Court in the 21st Century."
The ad then asks that McCain "join us in asking Congressman Dennis Rehberg why he supports this dangerous, out-of-touch Supreme Court decision."
Congressman Dennis Rehberg defended the U.S. Supreme Court's unpopular Citizens United decision, and has benefited from the massive piles corporate money that are being spent to run ads to help him get elected.
One of the most prominent corporate groups helping Rehberg is Americans for Prosperity, the TEA Party organization founded by Big Oil billionaires Charles and David Koch. The Citizens United organization endorsed Rehberg last fall.
Protesters are expected at tonight's Rehberg event.

What is your favourite masculine oriental?
Jaipur Homme
Opium, Opium Eau d'Orient, Ambre Sultan
These all get 5/5 stars in my book:

Ungaro II
I like a bunch:
Habit Rouge

Vintage Tabu packs a punch. In modern ones, I'd single out Ormonde Jayne Tolu, warm animalic vanillic oriental.
Jubilation XXV

Noir de Noir
Amber Absolute
And many others... Too many to mention. My collection is extremely imbalanced, and consists of mostly orientals, so I'm slightly biased.

Among my favorites are Genghis Khan ( thanks to Yuyu15) and Ungaro II. The reason I mention them not because they are my top choices but because they share a somewhat similar vibe ( top and middle notes) at least to my untrained nose. I wonder whether because of the bergamot and ginger components or maybe something else? However the drydown is quite different as Genghis Khan's is much warmer and spicier than Ungaro 2's and probably due to the fact that Ungaro 2 does not last long on my skin at all.

Connecticut's researchers decry Congress' effort to kill census program
Connecticut's researchers decry Congress' effort to kill census program
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Washington -- Congress' move to abolish the American Community Survey, a U.S. Census program that reveals how Americans live, work and shop, has provoked an outcry from academics, researchers, local officials and even the business community who rely on the data.
The amendment to abolish the survey -- a measure expected to gain no traction in the Senate -- was approved by a 232-190 vote in the U.S. House, with 228 Republicans voting yes, and 10 Republicans voting no. Four Democrats (none from Connecticut) voted to abolish the ACS, and 180 voted no.
"I find this very shortsighted," said Lynne Hodgson, a sociology professor at Quinnipiac University. "(The American Community Survey) is helpful to everybody."
Hodgson also called the attempt to end the ACS "an attack on empirical evidence used in social programming."
But conservatives in Congress say the ACS, which will cost about $2.4 billion over the next 10 years, is too expensive and too intrusive.
During the debate in the House last week on a spending bill that funds the Commerce Department, which oversees the U.S. Census Bureau, conservative Republicans voted first to prevent the bureau from imposing fines on people who don't fill out the ACS "long form" that collects detailed data on about 3 million households each year.
Then Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Fla., won support for an amendment that would abolish the ACS, saying it is unconstitutional to pry into Americans' lives that way.
A tea party member, Webster said the survey asks Americans about their emotional condition, what time they left for work and a host of other "intrusive" questions.
"It would seem this hardly fits the scope of what is required by the Constitution," Webster said.
The U.S. Constitution requires a count of all Americans every 10 years. The Census Bureau established the ACS in 2005 to replace the longer forms some households received in the decennial census and to collect more detailed information more often.
Hodgson said the ACS does not violate the right to privacy.
"We live in a democracy and a democracy needs to have the facts in order to distribute government money," she said.
About $400 billion in federal and state programs are distributed using the results of the ACS each year.
Steve Batt of the Connecticut State Data Center at the University of Connecticut said, "It's understandable why people would think the survey is annoying.
"But they should realize that in order for their town to make a successful grant application to help fund senior housing, or for their school district to be eligible for increased funds to support school lunches, or the state to compete successfully for federal grants, the data is essential for objective, quantifiable evidence that isn't subject to political influence," he said.
The Census Bureau said the work of the ACS is vital and the cuts House Republicans imposed would make it difficult to conduct the next national census in 2020.
"This bill devastates the nation's statistical information about the status of the economy and larger society," the agency said in a statement. "Modern societies need current, social and economic statistics -- the U.S. is losing them."
Orlando Rodriguez, a demographer and senior fellow at Connecticut Voices for Children, said if anything, the ACS should receive more money to do its work.
"We use it every day," he said. "We couldn't know much about the recession without the ACS."
Rodriguez said the survey's data helped determine that young people have had higher rates of unemployment and older people have suffered more than others from long-term unemployment.
He said Voices for Children has used information from the survey recently for a study on housing.
"We need to know who rents, who owns ... we couldn't determine discrimination in housing without it."
Rodriguez said conservatives in Congress who want to abolish the survey may be doing so for political purposes.
"If you don't want to believe there are wide income disparities in this country and you can't argue that, you get rid of the data," he said.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-K.Y., another tea party favorite, introduced a bill in the Senate this month that would abolish the ACS.
But the program is not in its grave yet, and may never be because the Senate is likely to reject an end to the ACS.
The fate of the program is expected to be determined when Congress debates a final budget that would fund the Commerce Department and most of the federal agencies later this year, perhaps in a lame duck session after November's elections.
Meanwhile a diverse group of Census supporters that includes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, major universities, the nation's advertisers and marketers, and state and local officials are lobbying the Senate to hold fast in its support of the ACS.
Hodgson of Quinnipiac plans to contact Connecticut's senators, Joe Lieberman, an independent, and Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, urging them to save the ACS.
"We have a long and wonderful tradition with our Census," she said.

Where ever you turn, you'll find food! Especially in New York City!
This weekend I headed to my neighborhood's local market with my friend Stefanie. We were both on a quest to pick up a few Holiday gifts — and of course we had to go on the weekend because we have both been so busy with work during the week. On the weekends, the Chelsea Market is packed with locals and tourists — all determined to discover the newly opened stands and shops throughout the market.
While waiting for Stefanie to arrive, I strolled through a few of my favorite places. For one, I spent some time in The Lobster Place taking a few photographs to show all my readers. I watched as fresh sushi was made (yum! I love avocado on my sushi!) and I took in the smell of the store… All fresh fish! The smell reminds me of New England — the place I grew up for the first half of my life.
During this time of year the most gorgeous lights are hung in the very center of the Chelsea Market. They drape down below the clock and light up the market place. These are not up year-round and I love when they are put up at this time of year!
The Chelsea Market stretches a full avenue long, going from 9th Avenue to 10th Avenue. There are two entrances/exits both are on each side of the market. On the 10th Avenue end this weekend, there was a small petting zoo with cows. City children gathered 'round to pet the baby farm animals. I love seeing things like this… especially in the heart of Manhattan. It just shows that you truly can find just about anything in the city — and the city children get a taste of country life. Yes, I believe that children should experience the fresh country air. But I do believe that the city is a fantastic place to raise children.
On Saturday night I went to the new Spanish-Moroccan fusion restaurant only 1 block from the Chelsea Market (and only a few blocks from my apartment). I went with my boyfriend, his cousin, and his cousin's wife. Ventanas is a new tapas restaurant located on 16th Street and 10th Avenue. The menu is large and may seem overwhelming, but you want to order plenty of plates because the portions are rather small (this is the only down-side to this restaurant). We ordered the following: Pisto (Spanish Ratatouille), Guacamole with Plantain Chips, Ceviches de Camarones (Shrimp Ceviche), Croquetas de Bacalao (Codfish Croquets), Frituras De Queso De Cabra (Goat Cheese Fritas), 2 Empanadas Espinaaca (Spinach and Manchego Empanadas), Albondigas (Lamb Meatballs), and Dulce de Leche Empanadas for dessert.
We enjoyed everything! Perfect bite-sized tapas that everyone was able to share with one another. I love tapas-style meals because everyone is engaged with one another over something as simple as the food on the table. Instead of ordering your own plate and keeping it to yourself — you are able to pass the plates around while saying "yum! Try this, you'll love it!" The food also came out quickly so we would order 2 or 3 plates at a time! That way we weren't too overwhelmed with an obnoxious amount of plates on the table. We all enjoyed the food, but we also loved the music playing in the background. Lots of exotic tunes had us practically dancing in our seats — like The Gypsy Kings (a French band that plays flamenco-style music), as well as other current, more popular songs as well. But I was excited to hear some music that I grew up to! My father often played The Gypsy Kings and over the years I managed to memorize some of their songs like Bamboleo. Besides the music, I loved the decor as well. You felt like you were some place exotic the moment you stepped into the restaurant. The shapes, the colors, the plush booths — you felt like you were in Morocco!
At 10 p.m. a belly dancer came out and circled the restaurant for some extra entertainment. A few rowdy people got up and danced with her — which was great entertainment for us! By 10:30 some tables were cleared off and pushed to the side and a bunch of people started to get up and dance … including us! I wasn't expecting my tapas-style dinner to turn into a dance party! But we were all quick to jump to our feet and make our way to the dance floor!
This is such a fantastic place to go with friends! Order some drinks, get a little rowdy, but overall experience some fantastic food! Watch how much you order though, because the bill can get pretty high rather quickly!

I bought this to protect against summer showers in northern Spain and to save me having to travel with anything heavier.It feels really lightweight and very comfortable. My only reservation was that there was no mention of breathability. The store manager assured me that although it did not actually say so on the label, that it was also breathable. I'll be testing this one out as soon as posible.

I have been looking for a smart waterproof to use for everyday. This doesn't have a hood but I chose this deliberately as I intend to use it for light rain or with a hat. Although a waterproof this is smart enough for me to wear to work as it is not bulky. Great product as long as you don't want a hood.
27/01/2013 21:59:42
Only bought today so have not tried in the rain as yet. We have bought a number of items from Mountain warehouse and they have always been good value and worked as expected. The jacket fits weel and is long enough to ensure it covers the back fully

Good jacket for the price. Lightweight and roomy enough for golf. It is also quite long which is another bonus
06/07/2013 06:19:03
Comfortable, good fit and great value especially when compared to some of the well known golf brands

Clarksville attributes its rural sensibility to its beginnings as a farmer's property. Prior to its development into one of Howard County's most popular suburbs, Clarksville was simply a large plot of farmland owned by William Clark. Today however, Clarksville has become much more than tilled fields. Instead it is home to some of Maryland's best schools, including one nationally recognized high school and several Maryland State Blue Ribbon award winners.
Although the town of Clarksville is still developing its own major attractions, the nearby River Hill Village Shopping Center and Columbia Mall offer endless entertainment possibilities. From celebrated restaurants and designer stores to multiplex cinemas, Clarksville and its neighboring towns provide the best that Howard County has to offer.
With all of the amenities in and around the town of Clarksville, property comes at a premium. Single family homes are for the most part relatively new construction. With a luxury consumer in mind, these centrally located homes feature stylish brick facades, generous lots, and customizable interiors. For those looking to settle in Howard County, Clarksville provides high end living in a quiet community that is still convenient to all the amenities of the city.
In August 2008, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Clarksville, MD was $633,464. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.

March 2012 President Obama said he can't do much to lower gas prices, and renewed his call for Congress to end tax breaks for oil companies.

Thanks for the comment Concerned Citizen. Another unfortunate example of Obama making a call to deaf ears...
Concerned Citizen

And how would increasing taxes on Oil Companies do anything but increase gas prices? Think about it. Fortunately, increasing numbers of Americans have become deaf to Obama's rediculous statements and policies. Obama's statement is rediculous because he could do something about gas prices, but he won't. He could unblock the Keystone pipeline, open Gulf Oil drilling, and allow the supply to increase. Instead he wrings his hands, pretending to care but adds 35% budget increase to the EPA to thwart coal and energy development while lending trillions to buddies in the solar industry.

This is a sad, but very funny story of Mr. John Waiganjo, a Nairobi based cab driver who circumstances have forced him to believe that Facebook was made primarily to destroy him. However, he is not going down without a fight.
Mr Waiganjo has two lives, complete with two different homes and two different wives, Mary and Barbara. Somehow, he manages to juggle them both without arousing suspicion.
His children, a boy and a girl from the different wives met in Facebook chat and their outstanding similarities have made them like each other so much, she has invited him home for tea.
Come and witness what Mr. Waiganjo is willing to go through to ensure that his daughter never gets to meet her "boyfriend" who is his son, and to ensure that his secret lives remain to be just that – A secret.

When it comes to planning a 4th of July menu you have two options. You can either create a meal with all red, white, and blue foods, or serve classic all American barbeque dishes. I've decided to go with the latter by offering guests a delicious setting of summery eats. To start, warm up store bought gourmet sausages for mini hot dogs in croissant dough buns. Next, platter sliced raw vegetables like carrots, red peppers, and broccoli with ranch dip made from a Ranch seasoning packet mixed with sour cream. Add a homemade nacho cheese sauce to these easy grocery store items and you're set! After the appetizers offer a caprese salad and thick cut grilled french fries as part of the main course. For these tasty recipes, read more

Learn, the noble friend that about three weeks ago the pontifex amorijskoj Curia, true to precepts zakonoljubivyh ancestors,
has suddenly departed to gods; on a throne of the pontifex the dexterous protege of ours vragini has entered. It crowned

Minuli days; illness has stuck to the weak; there were also those who has helped it, illness... Tit Justin has fallen ill, and the

do not know... But you do not have exit of other, differently you will die aimlessly and disgracefully! Here it, last chance, yours
and it: give it us, those who became the reason of your troubles! Give, we are for the present live! There will be no we -

Perfect. Very strong motor and quiet also. I used it with the Craftsman gutter kit and both worked very well. The wet/dry vac had such power that it vacuumed the leaves and wet pine needles out very fast.

This vacuum was purchased for my fianc? as a gift for his new shop. It is very durable/light weight/easy to assemble and use. The suction is very strong and picks up everything in its way.
Canandaigua, NY
via sears.com
This is my second shop vac. Unlike the first this one lives in the house. Ever spilled a drink on carpet? Catch it while it's wet and any stain or wetness virtually disappear. It's also great for cleaning tile floors before mopping, dust bunnies from under the bed, cobwebs, pet fur on furniture and it even makes quick work of a clogged drain. It's quiet and easy to move where you need it in the home too.

I purchased this for my son who is a new homeowner. It works very well and lives up to the Craftsman name.

Dad called and said his shop vac finally died. He does woodworking in his shop and needed something quickly. We knew exactly where to get a new vac for him. We have one and love it so off to Sears we went. Our hometown Sears salesperson was great and Dad is very happy with his new vac. The shop stays clean thanks to our purchase.

I had a craftsman shop vac for 25 years and was very satisfied. I hope this new shop vac will last just as long. The vac has good suction and it is quieter than my old shop vac. My old filters fit the new one too.

I just purchased this unit to replace an older Craftsman vac that died. This vac is extremely quiet and very powerful. The hose is very flexible and easy to store onboard the vac. This vac uses all of the older Craftsman filters and even uses filter bags. Tons of storage and is very easy to haul around. Very sturdy. Best Craftsman vac I have ever owned.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young has returned to the team. Young practiced Wednesday for the first time since the Lions told him to stay away. He was deactivated for Detroit's 34-31 overtime loss to Houston last week because coach Jim Schwartz said his behavior was "unacceptable" during the previous setback to Green Bay. The second-year pro, a second-round draft pick, from Boise State has 33 catches for 383 yards and four touchdowns this season. He had 48 receptions for 607 yards and 6 TDs last year. Young was in the back of the line as receivers went through various drills Wednesday while the media had access to practice. He is not expected to speak with the reporters until Friday. ___ Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL

TUCSON - Right now we're in the heart of flu season, which means you're probably suffering through it, or you're scared it's headed your way.
Regardless, germs aren't the only thing to watch out for. There are plenty of flu myths circulating.
Dr. Donald Denmark, Carondelet's Chief Medical Officer, says perhaps the biggest flu myth is that people think they won't get it. Everyone is susceptible.
Flu Myth #2: You can catch the flu from the vaccine. "The vaccine does not cause influenza illness," Dr. Denmark says. Getting cold or flu symptoms after the vaccine is probably more coincidence than a true effect of the vaccine."
Flu Myth #3: You can catch the flu from going out in cold weather without a coat, with wet hair, or by sitting next to a drafty window. "It's an airborne and droplet transmission, so it's in the presence of someone who sneezes or coughs," Dr. Denmark says. "You inhale the virus that is shed during that contagious period of time."
Dr. Denmark recommends people sneeze into their elbows to prevent the germs from spreading.
Flu Myth #4: Getting the flu vaccine is all you need to do to protect yourself from the flu. "Hand washing is important and avoiding crowded areas where there are a lot of people with symptoms," Dr. Denmark says.
He recommends washing the hands vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Soap and water works just as well as hand sanitizer.
Myth #5: Chicken soup will speed up your recovery from the flu. Dr. Denmark says while the warm soup made with love and care does bring comfort, it won't bring a cure.
He says the best thing flu patients can do is stay home, take your medication and drink plenty of fluids.
If you still have not received your flu shot, Dr. Denmark says there is still time, but he recommends getting it before March 1.
Any patient or member of the public visiting a Carondelet Health Network hospital or facility can be confident their caregiver has received a flu shot this year.
Carondelet's 4,400 associates and 1,100 physician partners are participating in a universal flu vaccination effort which began in September.

Meet the Keeper: Rachel Jones, Deputy Team Leader, Aquarium
Thursday 20 April 2006
Rachel Jones, deputy team leader of the Aquarium, has a passion for corals, therefore a recent conservation trip to the largely untouched atolls of the Chagos archipelago in the Indian Ocean was a once in a life time experience.
Rachel joined ZSL in 1997, following the completion of an MSC supervised by IoZ and a short contract working on ZSL's native cricket re-introduction programmes. She initially joined the Invertebrates team and was part of the development of the B.U.G.S exhibit, including the creation of the reef tanks.
Her daily responsibilities for the aquatic exhibits coupled with an interest in scuba diving led to her specific interest in corals and her eventual transmigration from 'terrestrial' to 'marine' invertebrates.
Rachel is part of a team responsible for the entire aquarium collection at London Zoo, marine seizures handed to ZSL by UK customs and excise and the preparation for the new marine visitor experience Biota!
However, a recent highlight has been a conservation project studying the extensive coral reefs of the Chagos.
Located 500km south of the Maldives, the reefs and islands of the Chagos archipelago cover an area of approx. 19,000km2 of tropical sea called the British Indian Ocean Territory and remain largely unpopulated.
The largest and most southerly of the islands, Diego Garcia, contains a joint UK-US naval support facility, whilst all of the remaining islands are uninhabited, save a handful of long haul yachts that occasionally stop at the Salomon atoll in the north.
Ten years ago, during an expedition arranged by a former PhD student of David Bellamy, Dr. Charles Sheppard of Warwick University, conservationists were taken to the islands for two months to study this unique habitat.
However, in 1998 a huge bleaching event took place throughout the entire Indo Pacific, in some locations resulting in the bleaching and death of almost all corals up to 20-25 meters in depth – 90% of the Chagos coral population was wiped out.
The 2006 expedition to Chagos was arranged to review how the reefs are recovering after this catastrophic event and alongside studying the coral, turtles, birds and fish populations were also examined.
Rachel made coral health assessments by swimming along transects and filming a belt of reef. The footage will then be analysed frame by frame to look for evidence of coral illness or disease and an overall assessment will be made of coral health in the region.
Return visits to these areas of the reef allowed still, close-up photography and tissue samples to be taken. These samples have been brought back to IoZ where they will undergo more detailed analysis to look at bacterial communities and possible pathogens.
Visiting pristine reefs such as these also provides excellent examples on which to model exhibits within ZSL London Zoos aquarium. This allows Rachel to actually experience first hand the species, ecology, look, feel and colour of this amazing environment.
Rachel said:
'Reefs are not found the way they were 50 years ago – over fishing has led to the disappearance of most of the big fish like sharks – but the remoteness of Chagos means some areas haven't been dived for 30 years, or are totally untouched!
It's like diving must have been 100 years ago. It's absolutely stunning with lots of turtles, manta rays and sharks – it's a magical place, quite unique.'

Gullett Elementary youth takes school's helm
Date: November 14, 2012
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Fifth-grader Ellie Wietecha may be fairly new to the Gullett Elementary School family as a first-year student, but she's already at the top of the class, so to speak.
The 10-year-old served Nov. 8 as "Principal for the Day."
"It was exciting," Ellie said of being "Principal for the Day." "I got to walk around and see the offices. I got to file papers and I learned something new. It's not so organized; you have to know where the papers go."
As one of her first acts as principal, Ellie appointed her brother, Joey, as "assistant principal," although the title did not get him out of class except for a short time in the afternoon.
Ellie also got to make the morning announcements, help select the lunch menu for the month of December, oversaw a special picnic luncheon for honors students, make rounds to classrooms and assist in the office.
Gullett Principal Kathy Hayes said Ellie won the role of principal after her parents bid on the "Principal for the Day" auction item during the school's recent golf-tournament fundraiser.
Ellie, she said, had stepped up to the challenge and was performing tremendously.
"I wish I could give her everything," Hayes said, laughing. "She's been a big help already."
