Not Just For Dummies
Linda Henderson, Adult Services Librarian
Interested in understandable information? Hungry for a new hobby? Manhattan Public Library offers over 300 "For Dummies" and "Complete Idiot's Guides" that you can borrow today!
"For Dummies" books provide newcomer-friendly information and instruction on a broad variety of topics — everything from art to welding. Despite the title, their publisher has taken great pains to emphasize that the "For Dummies" books are not literally for "dummies"; the subtitle explains that they are simply, "A Reference for the Rest of Us!" To date, over 1,600 "For Dummies" titles have been published in numerous languages to worldwide acclaim.
The "For Dummies" series began in 1991 with "DOS for Dummies." The book became popular due to the rarity of beginner-friendly instructions for using the notoriously user-unfriendly DOS interface. Later, the series branched out beyond computer technology, adding titles as diverse as "Dad's Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies," "Chess for Dummies," and "Buddhism for Dummies." Our library offers many of these great guides.
If you are interested in mathematics, or simply need a refresher, the library carries titles such as "Everyday Math for Dummies" and "Pre-calculus for Dummies." For those dreading entrance exams, try "ASVAB for Dummies," "SAT for Dummies," or "ACT for Dummies," among others.
Many titles offer valuable information on specific careers, such as haircutting, paralegal work, military careers, and green technology, along with advice on job searching, resumes, and interviews. Thinking about investing? See "Personal Finance for Seniors for Dummies" and "Investing for Dummies," or other books on mutual funds, home buying, or on real estate investment.
Would you like to develop a new hobby? "For Dummies" guides can get anyone started on constructive pastimes such as crocheting, knitting, and sewing; raising goats, chickens and rabbits; canning and preserving foods; and gardening and green living. Some titles like "Dog Grooming for Dummies" could even double as potential business ventures. "For Dummies" guides cover classic games including poker, bridge, and chess; physical activities like rugby to meditation; and even current game crazes like Minecraft. Also, there are guides on coaching football, basketball, and soccer.
Guides on piano, guitar, blues, and classical music are popular, with titles such as "Music Theory for Dummies" and "Jazz for Dummies." There are also guides on figure-drawing, illustration, and manga.
Need to brush up on a foreign language? The library has titles covering German, Portuguese, Spanish, and other languages. Of course, titles like "English Grammar for Dummies" could help those who want to write and speak English more fluently. Other "For Dummies" books can broaden horizons with information on world religions, scientific topics like genetics, and the US government.
Of course, the series still contains highly accessible guides to computer and internet tech, including Windows 8, Apple iPads, iPhones, and Macs, computer use for seniors, and eBay, along with more technical topics like Facebook advertising, search engine optimization, and 3D printing.
The "Complete Idiot's Guides" are another line of how-to and reference books that explore and explain complex and popular topics. Again, the term "idiot" is hyperbole; the goal is to let non-experts understand new subjects.
"Complete Idiot's Guides" cover topics including vegan and gluten-free cooking; songwriting and playing a fiddle; world religions, renewable energy, hearing loss, baby names, raising girls, motorcycles, string theory, and dozens of other topics.
All of these books are listed in Manhattan Public Library's online catalog. Go to www.mhklibrary.org, click on "Catalog" in the upper-right, and search for "For Dummies" or "Complete Idiots Guide" or by topic to get a listing of available books. Or, come on in and browse the collection today!

Michael L.wrote a review of The North Face Half Dome Hooded Sweatshirt - Men's on October 19, 2012
Buy One Size UP!!!
Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are great hoodies, but you need to buy big. I am a big guy who normally wears a 2XL. Tried on 2X in store, fit great. Took it home, washed inside out cold, dried on low. I ended up with a skin tight belly shirt. These are shrink monsters!! A 3XL was huge on me, long baggy sleeves and big body. After a wash and dry it fits perfect!

" Manufacturer: Qualcast / Type: Garden Shredder "
I'm not a keen gardener to say the least, and the more of it that I can nuke just to keep nature in check the better. It doesn't help that we have about 140 feet of back garden to keep tidy - you'll note I don't say 'looking nice'!
As we live in a smokeless zone, we're not allowed bonfires to get rid of garden waste, so it more or less behoves our local council to provide a free 'green waste' service, subject to a fortnightly schedule throughout the year, alternated with plastics recycling. We've taken the liberty of applying for an extra set of bags, bringing our total to four. They're about the size of IKEA bags, so you'll see that to make good use of them, whatever needs to go in them should be made as small as possible, and this is where a compactor/shredder comes into its own.
I'm now on my fourth one since getting the first, a disastrously noisy B&D job about fifteen years ago. Then came a Bosch, which despite its lineage didn't seem to last all that long, although it did get lent out quite a lot. One thing the Bosch did teach me though is that not all shredders have to be particularly noisy, this one having a kind of Archimedean screw to grab and grind its prey.
Then came a more 'generic' one branded by my local garden centre working in a similar quiet manner with plain gears to do the 'masticating'. To be honest, for the £100 paid, it faired better than the Bosch and lasted longer, but recently gave up the ghost. Its switch wouldn't stay on without constant pressure, which made dispatching blackberries a rather hazardous one-handed business as they whipped around threatening all kinds of injuries to the arms and face!
In comes the next contestant, a Qualcast QS42, which for some unknown reason is also known as SDS2810, so let's see how this one fares. At least it comes with a two-year warranty this time!
Incidentally, perusal of the official Qualcast web-site fails to show this product. This is because Qualcast also allow the Home Retail Group (Homebase and Argos) to commission products under the Qualcast name, presumably with provisos relating to build quality etc.
Weighing in at around £149, having been reduced from £199, it's about what I was expecting to pay for a 'silent' (and I use the word under advisement, as US lawyers are wont to say) shredder from a known brand.
So-called silent shredders are not silent. As you'd imagine anything with an electric motor that can grind saplings to a pulp is in no way noise-free. It is however fairly quiet, a bit like having a washing machine on very slow spin running in the garden. The other kind of shredder (and you probably only ever buy one of these unless your neighbours have already upset you) is the 'impact' type, which has a fast rotating disk with blades, into the gaping maw of which your debris is fed. This works more like a waste-disposal, and sounds just like one that's had half a tree plunged into it! If you've ever stood next to one of those machines that councils use for turning trees into woodchip by the roadside, you'll get a feel for it.
The Qualcast has some interesting features that I've not come across before. For one, it has a power safety interlock which prevents you from sticking anything fragile (e.g. a body part to which you are quite attached) up into the outlet to unblock it.
This is rather cleverly disguised as the latch for the large clear bin it has under it. Therefore to access the underside for maintenance, you have to remove the bin, which involves turning off the power - natty eh?
The large bin is in itself another innovation - well it's new to me anyway. Previously, I've had to use those tubular sprung bags to collect the newly-chewed debris from under the machine. Now I have a bin of maximum proportion with which to decant the stuff into the council's green bags.
Further to the safe access to the underside, you can also remove a side hatch to clear the grinders too. Naturally, this can also only be done with the power off. If I'm brutally honest, this hatch is rather difficult to put back, and indeed takes many turns of four Allen keys to get off in the first place.
The moral? Don't let it get blocked. This usually happens with newly-cut sappy cuttings. I find that doing all my pruning one day, and the compacting two days later eradicates this.
Well, it is rather too eager to turn itself back off, but now that I've observed it doing this, it seems to be down to letting items brush against the top panel as they disappear south as the switch appears to be on something of a 'hair-trigger' as we gun-slingers say.
It's quite heavy and its two 'barbecue-style' wheels are set quite close, making it prone to falling over and twisting your wrist if you stray off a dead level path whilst towing or pushing it.
The power lead is commendably long and there's a kind of hopper designed to hold seccateurs etc into which you can tuck it after use. The whole shebang fits neatly into one of those green-and-cream outdoor storage cabinets made by Keter.

Following are Medicare policy statements that support coverage of cognitive therapy by speech-language pathologists:
Question 7: Is there a specific HCPCS code or range of HCPCS codes to report for cognitive speech therapy training?
Answer: For cognitive speech therapy, a speech-language pathologist could use either code [CPT] 92507 or 97770 but not both for the same treatment.
ASHA note: Effective January 1, 2001, CPT 97770, Cognitive skills training, was deleted and divided into two new CPT codes: 97532, Development of cognitive skills; and 97533, Sensory integrative techniques.
Retrieve the Program Memo directly from the CMS website [PDF].
As we developed the list of CPT and HCPCS codes relevant to speech-language pathology, we realized that our proposed definition, which cross-refers to the CORF definition in § 410.100(d), did not encompass the full range of services that are commonly considered to be speech-language pathology services. It failed to recognize that speech-language difficulties can be caused by cognitive disorders and failed to recognize that speech-language pathology may be used to treat swallowing and other oral-motor dysfunctions. Therefore, in developing the list of codes for speech pathology in Phase I of this rulemaking, we included the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive disorders including swallowing and other oral-motor dysfunctions. Finally, because of the overlap between physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services, we are listing the codes for all three services together. We believe that this set of HCPCS codes represents what most clinicians would define as PT/OT/ speech therapy services that are covered by the Medicare program. The list is set out in the attachment to this final rule.
The second paragraph of this Program Memo states:
"Dementia is the general loss of cognitive abilities, including an impairment of memory, and may include one or more of the following: aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, or disturbed planning, organizing, and abstract thinking abilities...Throughout the course of their disease, patients with dementia may benefit from pharmacologic, physical, occupational, speech-language, and other therapies."
Talking Business: Decades before the concept of "leaning in" existed, one SLP launched her own business doing something she'd never heard of anyone in her profession doing.

Sexy Simplicity at it's best
I bought this top in both colors and so, so happy I did I love both colors and this top is so flattering and fit was perfect I got a medium...I'm 5"10 and it wasn't short on me (check out the pictures) nor is it thin. I already know this will be my "got to " top <3 it !
Nice top
I usually wear a small or medium in free people tops. I am also petite. I ordered both a small and a medium and both width wise were pretty similar but the medium was a tad longer. For that reason I'm going to keep the medium. I'm a medium everywhere else most of the time so I would say it's true to size. It's a pretty short top, but very nice and very flattering and not as see through as the pictures make it look. In fact not see through at all. It's a nice soft t-shirt material. I really like it. Glad I got it on sale.
I've been enjoying this top for several months and am so happy to see you've rolled it out in another color. More, please! Would love it in white, too. It's figure-flattering, and it's surprisingly sophisticated for Free People boho aesthetic. The fabric feels soft and yummy. It washes well (I never put FP tops through the dryer.) I was concerned that not being particularly "ample" up top this would further flatten but it doesn't. Can't think of a negative! I've worn it with jeans and also very dressed up with skirts. Fits tts. Sheer is not so sheer, just a bit.

If you've had it, you'll probably remember how itchy and scratchy it was.
We're talking about chickenpox - the illness that leaves you covered in spots and often spreads quickly among friends when one of you gets it.
It's uncomfortable at any age, and if you get it when you're older, if can be really painful. Medical research has shown it can lead to other problems.
That's why experts are calling for kids to be given a jab to stop them suffering in the future.
Kids in America, Canada, Australia and Finland already have the jab.
Researchers from universities in Bristol, London and the Australian city of Sydney and Scottish health experts worked on the report which is calling for the jab.
It followed a study of chickenpox sufferers under the age of 16 who went to hospital because of problems resulting from the illness.

Lola Tapas Set to Close This Weekend
A wonderful little restaurant is about to close its doors this weekend. For me, it's the loss of a personal favorite where I've sent countless friends to dine and have enjoyed many plates of tortilla de patatas and glasses of delicious sangria.
"Slowly, sales have dropped over time. We tried lunch, but people would always go to Culver's to get a burger instead of coming here," he says. "We were busy on the weekends, but the weekends alone can't support a restaurant."
This was Lola's fifth year in business. Ruiz opened the business back in 2005 with her now-ex-husband, Daniel Wayne, who owns Lola Coffee.
Gitenstein says he's not sure what he's going to do next, although he's still hoping to host his MF Tasty secret supper club again, in the fall.
"We want to go out with dignity," he says.
On that note, he passed along a statement that he wants to share with Chow Bella readers:

The Ohio Supreme Court has closed the door on JobsOhio, the non-profit entity created by Gov. John Kasich to oversee state economic development efforts.
The court issued a two-sentence judgment entry last week that dismissed a complaint requesting JobsOhio to fulfill a public records request. The decision affirmed JobsOhio's exemption from public records access, noting its status a private entity.
The ruling is in line with the rationale that led to the creation of JobsOhio. As a private, non-profit entity working closely with state agencies, it can conduct its business behind closed doors. Businesses considering relocating to Ohio or expanding their operations here can do so without public scrutiny, the tradeoff being jobs for Ohio vs. transparency in government.
The fact remains, however, that Jobs Ohio receives state money -- liquor revenues are among its funding sources -- and Ohioans have a right to know how the agency is using it.
While JobsOhio is required to conduct a handful of public meetings and files disclosure documents about incentives it has awarded for economic development, the court's decision basically renders its operations off-limits to the public.
The Supreme Court has heard arguments in a challenge to JobsOhio brought by an advocacy group that contends it is unconstitutional because the state is prohibited from establishing private enterprises.
A similar argument was made -- and ultimately dismissed -- in the bid for public records access.
There is no question that economic development is important, but not so important that the agency overseeing it is granted a blank check on how it operates.
Secrecy in government raises the potential for abuse.
Closing the doors and closing the records on decisions and decision-making is risky business.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I got 2 summonses in Fort Lee for 39:4–81 Failure to observe traffic control device (coming out of parking lot Whiteman Plaza) and 39:4–36 Failure to yield to pedestrian in crosswalk. I'm not sure if both things happened at the same spot because the cop didn't explain and pulled me over farther away after a traffic light at Main and Schlosser but the address on both summonses list address for Whiteman Plaza (not the traffic light). Cop said he has it all on video and I am thinking if the pedestrian was at the traffic light, I can get one of the offenses dismissed due to incorrect address. I am planing on negotiating to no or less points but want to see the video first. What's the best way to handle the situation and get to see the video? Thank you
In order to view the video you will need to file a request for discovery with the prosecutor. The request will need to be timely made as the police will purge the video after 30 days. However, the adress issue that you want to raise is not a strong defense. You can likely get a deal without the video. Though to get to zero points you will need an attorney.
Law Offices of James A. Abate Jabatelaw.com (732) 412-2364Ask a similar question
You can get a copy of the video by filing a request for all discovery. However, most of the time the video in the police cars is not activated until the lights on the car go on. Thus the odds are that the video does not show anything other than your being pulled over after the alleged offense. As for the idea of plea bargaining, you may want to speak to an attorney. I am in the Fort Lee court frequently. Both the prosecutor and the judges are fair minded people but you may want to have an attorney who knows the court and personnel in order to get you the best possible deal. Feel free to call me if you have any further questions.

You should request discovery from the prosecutor including all video evidence. Mailing the discovery request is commonly done.Ask a similar question
You request discovery from the prosecutor. The Ft. Lee prosecutor is a real nice guy and the Judge is great too. If a non-lawyer makes them do extra work I do not know. You are allowed to ask for the reports and videos. Send a letter in, addressed to the prosecutor and a copy to the Court, return receipt. They likely will not respond before your first appearance but you have the receipt to prove you asked. You should get the video before the next date. (if it really exists and it is a police video not the private security camera) (if it is private security you need to ask or subpoena the mall for it before it is destroyed) I do not know what the cost will be.(you purchase discovery). As a practical matter, if you are trying to get out of points, you have a better chance negotiating before declaring war. The prosecutor may think, "Ok if you want to fight lets fight". An attorney can get away with it because it is just part of their job. A layman is perceived as declaring war. Both tickets are 2 points. Try in negotiations for a "delaying traffic" ticket not a 4-97.2 unsafe. The unsafe is $439 dollars. Of course the 0 point negotiation would be easier and likely only possible with an attorney.Ask a similar question

70. Re: Gingerbread Update for HTC Droid Incrediblestankopp Aug 9, 2011 5:11 PM (in response to kansaswrangler)
It is ridiculous that we need to dumb-down our smart phones just to get longer battery life. Android 2.3 has been out for a while now. Even my cheap Aishuo TMD mid816 tablet has been updated to Gingerbread. Why can it be done by Aishuo and not by a giant like HTC?
Though I will never own ANY Apple product, I will think hard and long about changing my brand of smart phone and maybe even my communications supplier when my contract is up. I do not hold Verizon blameless in this delay in upgrade.

This is what HTC told me a couple weeks ago:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC regarding this issue. We understand your concern about getting the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update onto your HTC Incredible. We understand the excitement surrounding this update, and we share your enthusiasm!
Here at HTC, we are always working on developing new updates, fixes, and upgrades for all of our HTC phones. Before we release any updates, we ensure that they are the most stable and reliable updates possible. We don't have any information, however, on which updates are being developed for each phone, nor do we have any information regarding the release date of any such updates. We do not give out specific release dates or information on what each release contains to avoid the potential for misinformation if somehow those updates are in any way different than what was announced. We apologize for the seemingly slow, but careful approach we take to upgrading our devices."

As most of you know I have been one of the most vocal and staunchest defenders of the HTC Droid Incredible on these forums. I can no longer give this product or this company my support.
I contacted HTC after I read that they were not planning to update the Droid Incredible to Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" despite many assurances from Verizon and HTC, and many articles in the technical press, that they were going to do so soon, with the date being pushed repeatedly into the future. The following is my initial query to HTC's support, their reply to me, and my response.
First, my initial contact:
I have just heard today, to my tremendous surprise, disappointment and anger, that you have dropped all plans to update the operating system of the Droid Incredible to Android 2.3 "Gingerbread."
This stands in stark contrast to information I received numerous times in the past from both HTC and Verizon Wireless, and also contradicts information I have read in the technical press on many occasions.
Could this really be true? If so, let me express my deep disappointment and resentment, while at the same time giving you my complete and honest assurance that I will never again for the rest of my entire life purchase or recommend any HTC product. Note that I am a highly respected communications technician and administrator, previously the Internet Services Administrator for NASA Headquarters, and my opinion on these matters is sought out by literally hundreds of other people, many of whom purchased the Incredible solely at my recommendation.
Please tell me that I have been misinformed, because this is unacceptable with my phone still under contract for many months to come.
An HTC support person, "Stephen," responded:

This is unacceptable. I am quite certain that most of the more technically-oriented people who had been pleased with your product will find it similarly unacceptable and will abandon your company's products in their future purchasing decisions, as I will.
While I will stick with Verizon because they provide truly excellent coverage and user support, when my current contract with Verizon runs out next April I shall opt for a product from Samsung, Motorola, or another manufacturer who has shown themselves to be more willing to stand behind their products than you have done. The HTC Incredible broke new ground for usability, quality, features and convenience. It is the product that put HTC on the map, so to speak, and your decision to discontinue full support while most of its owners remain under contract is inexplicable to me, and totally, incontrovertibly, and unforgivably unacceptable. It damages your company's reputation beyond all repair, and I shall never purchase or recommend your products again.
I shall furthermore express my negative opinion of your extraordinarily substandard behavior in this regard as frequently and widely as possible, on Internet forums and elsewhere, in hopes that others do not make the same mistake that I made in expecting you to stand behind your products. I mean, Gingerbread was released last NOVEMBER, when my phone was only a few months into its contract. There is no excuse for this.
I am looking forward to April with a feeling of great anticipation for putting HTC in my past for good.

76. Re: Gingerbread Update for HTC Droid Incrediblepoe_diddley Aug 13, 2011 6:25 PM (in response to Flatworm)The Incredible marks my first and last adventure into the world of Android. I made the false assumption that when I preordered this phone before it's release that it would have full support throughout my contract. Every update for his phone has been delayed until after newer products got their update. Heck, I didn't actually EVER get the froyo OTA update, I waited for almost two months, calling Verizon to see when I would get it, all they offered was "u must have missed the prompt for the update-we can't push it out to you, you'll just have to wait till it gets around to you again". I gave in and downloaded the OTA myself because it was senseless to wait on them. Now, I've been waiting how long on gingerbread? And the latest news is that it won't actually happen? How does the evo get it but we don't? It is essentially the same hardware with a bigger screen and 4g. Both had somewhat similar release dates, yet the incredible has been months behind on EVERY update. Why? I guess more folks purchased evos... This is my last Android product. Too much fragmentation equals poor end user experience. Hate if you will, but I can't wait till my next upgrade discount so I can get a new iPhone. Too bad I have to hold off till December and this incredible is no longer a priority for manufacturer/carrier support.

This confirms what we already were officially told earlier this year that we would be getting the Gingerbread update in the summer. And here it is. I had no doubts it would happen, it was just a matter of when.

Well organised comfortable hotel, very clean with friendly staff. Great value for money.
Staff worked very hard, though there did not seem to be enough of them. Very friendly and helpful. Food was very nice. The room was not cleaned, the bed not made, ths is the first time that this has ever happened to me in hotel. There were not enough kitchen staff, the meal took a long time to come, more than an hour, and I was not offered any free drink or even a chocalate bar free ( I ordered one and had to pay for it!) as compensation.
Very clean and modern. Spacious room. Comfortable, quiet. Friendly and generally efficient staff. Satellite Tv with hundreds of channels. Free wifi. Good breakfast. Fitness room/Sauna (free) Overall Good value. 25 minute walk from village shops, rail station. Only 2 english tv channels. Staff seemed a little stretched sometimes.
Hotel was clean and new. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Could not control the room temperatue with the controller in the room because it was locked out.
Staff very helpful. Owner personally involved. Two negatives to the place. It is in the middle of nowhere and not much to do in terms of restaurants, etc. Also, Location is not too convenient if you don't have a car. All in all, would definitely recommend the hotel.
Helpful staff, good breakfasts
Wonderful greeting from the Nice Lady that owns this hotel. Beautiful room, beautiful new hotel. Nice bed, nice furniture, great bathroom. Very very clean. Food at Dinner was great. Breakfast was fantastic! Business man's hotel in Germany. Bar should have a real bartender, real beer. Light Music or Quiet tv should be on. He we were 10 tables of solo Business guys, sitting there with no music, bright lights, dead quiet. Cook comes out to take orders, since nobody else helped him. No problem with him or the food, which was great. But why should the cook be struggling while the other staff sit at the desk? Limited supply of warm beer by bottle, not the correct glasses, not poured correctly, not asked for refill etc. This could be a wonderful, awesome place if the owner decides to fix the service, bar and atmosphere at dinner.
great service, friendly staff, nice breakfast
only one bus near the hotel, while far away from subway stations, about 20mins
The staff were polite and very helpful. It felt more like a hostel which is not what I expected for this price. Rather remote; convenient for the exhibition centre but not for the city centre.
It is very snug. The breakfast is also very rich. It is a little difficult to find the hotel
I picked this hotel as it was not too far from Eschborn and at a reasonable price. Breakfast was also ok. Staff was nice. The wifi wasn't good. I had almost no signal in my room. Also services were rudimentary: no fridge, no hair dryer in the room, I needed to ask for soap. That said the staff was nice and helpful.
value for money............comfortable room and breakfast was good inconvenience caused as there was no telephone in the room for direct dial or to ask for any services and there was no Tea facility for preparation in the room again causing inconvenience to go down three floors to have a cup of tea.
Fair rate - clean rooms - acceptable location Small rooms - No restaurant - Poor internet connection
Staff were friendly and helpful. Handy location for getting to the office. WiFi connection was intermittent
Quiet aeria
staff was very friendly - room was clean and spacious - free internet was a plus too! the bedlinnen could be renewed
Clean, secure. Very far from anything. They said the walk to the station was 10 minutes, but even with my long legs I couldn't do it in 20. Never stay here without a car.
Hotel staff is very nice, expecially Ms. that work on reception desk. My toilet wasn't clean as I arrived in room.
Destination, clearliness, calm, offcourse the breafast. Missing of lobby bar, internet acc.es
I liked nothing. Tiny room, like a prison cell. No ventilation, small window. Booked for 4 nights, but left after first.
it was very clean and comfort.also the internet wireless was available in the rooms . it was very far from train station.there is a bus station near hotel but it is sometimes there.
Rooms not spacious but clean, hard mattress beds. Cheap and varied breakfast. Very basic and simple.
Bad parking
Facilities were very basic and 'tired', lack of bedside light and smoking area just below room window meant it was 'smokey' room
i like this hotel, quite enough there is no exhaust vent in washing room
Russian-speaking and kind staff, clean room, free wi-fi, early breakfast (6.30-10.00), very quiet suburbs. 20 minutes walking for nearest u-bahn station.
No curtains in room for first 2 nights so anybodt could see in. Internet connection very slow.

I'm 33 years old so I expected mixed reactions when I put these up in my man cave, but I've only gotten hearty laughs and a couple of high fives. Maybe my friends are too embarrassed for me to say this it's childish, but I like living and sleeping under the stars, it makes me feel a part of the universe instead of a small person in a box of concrete.

"Disturbia" remains unmoved from its last-week position on the first place of the chart in its third run.
New movies of various genres have popped up together to heat up the competition on the box-office yet "Disturbia" amazingly remains undisturbed on its position on the top for the weekend ended April 29, 2007.
In its third run, the teen-oriented thriller once again turns out to be the best of all, effortlessly adding a decent number of $9 million and so, forcing newcomers "The Invisible" and "Next" to line up behind as the second and third place holder, respectively.
Despite their failed attempt to overthrow the DreamWorks production, both rookies delightfully do not come below expectations with the former scoring $7.7 million and the latter earning $7.1 million in ticket sales. Taking the subsequent spot is police drama "Fracture" for its fair effort to garner $6.8 million followed by sports comedy "Blades of Glory" which manages to grab $5.1 million to round out the top five of the chart.
British police comedy "Hot Fuzz" comes next on number six after making its way to gain $4.87 million, slightly higher than the $4.84 million Disney's animated adventure "Meet the Robinsons" has collected. The rest positions up to the tenth slot go to motel horror feat "Vacancy" with $4.1 million, new release "The Condemned" with $3.8 million, and family comedy "Are We Done Yet?" $3.4 million.

This recession has accelerated the shift in consumer travel behavior to what we called the purpose driven traveler. As people scrutinized their spending, they are looking for valuable investments and meaningful getaways. "People will emerge from the current recession forever changed. The global recession has changed them," said David Kenny, managing partner of Publicis Group's VivaKi.
About 87% of respondents to a 2008 American Express study indicated that travel involving personal interests will remain the same or increase over the next two years. The survey results overwhelmingly showed that people whose vacations are tied to personal interests expect to continue to travel by acting more resourceful in their planning.
A few interesting survey findings:
— 87% of travelers indicate that personal interests drive the majority of their vacation plans
— 60%* of travelers say the stronger they feel about a passion, the further they've traveled for it
— 57%* of respondents are willing to travel any distance to explore their personal interests
— 36% of those surveyed said they wouldn't consider a vacation destination that doesn't help them fulfill at least one personal passion
— 71%* of respondents have discovered a "new passion" while on vacation
— 34% of vacationers have discovered a passion on vacation and incorporated it into their home life
*% – agree strongly/somewhat on a 4-point scale.
Vacations that incorporate personal passions also tend to be longer by almost double the number of days compared to those trips that do not include personal interests (16 days versus 9); more frequent (6 trips versus 3); and more expensive ($3,900 versus $2,400).
Environmental realities and new global leadership have also contributed to this purpose driven traveler model. "High-priced destinations have seen a huge fall off, but vacations in destinations that encourage connection to your travel partners, nature, history or culture are the new vogue." Travel companies are responding to this trend by offering meaningful experiences and promoting togetherness among travelers.
Amble Resorts, an ecologically and culturally sensitive real estate development company, is developing The Resort at Isla Palenque — an island resort tucked into Panama's Gulf of Chiriqui that will cater specifically to this new generation of travelers searching for meaning. "Purpose-driven vacationers will have innumerable chances to create meaning and vitality by learning and experiencing things indigenous to the island and its surroundings: history, traditions, art, and wildlife." says Amble Resorts President, Ben Loomis.

Cruisin' with Mickey - Christmas Style: Disney Fantasy Cruise Review by ritamb885
Overall Member Rating
Cruisin' with Mickey - Christmas Style
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Pre-cruise info - We flew into MCO the night before our cruise and stayed at the brand new Art of Animation resort. We stayed in one of the little mermaid rooms. We thought that the whole hotel had been decorated nicely. We were satisfied with our stay.
One perk about staying on Disney property is that you get picked up from the disney cruise line bus to go to port canaveral. Your bags are picked up from your room in the morning and then the next time you see them is when you are in your stateroom on the ship!
Embarkation was a breeze! We got to the port around 1:30, went quickly through security, check-in and had our picture taken. I would say that this process More took less than 20 min.
First impressions of the ship: AMAZING everything was so beautiful... I don't think pictures can do it justice! And especially since the whole ship was decorated for Christmas! There are just no words... Disney had the ship decked to the nines with decorations... very classy and tasteful!
Stateroom - we were in room 9016... great location, in the forward section of the ship. We loved our room attendant, RG. He was always smiling and always was very accommodating to anything we needed. We had a balcony which we used often. We liked that the bathroom was split so someone could take a shower, while another used the bathroom. this would be great for families. Our only complaint about the room was that the queen bed DOES NOT convert into two twin beds as on other cruises. We are two single girls traveling on the cruise and we felt as if it was strange that NONE of the beds converted. I would think that disney would want to accomodate many kinds of guests. My friend ended up sleeping on the couch bed... it was ok, she dealt with it and requested a foam mattress from housekeeping so she could sleep at night. The queen bed in the room was very comfortable and I just think that DCL should offer some rooms with twin beds. We also liked that the tv in the room had ENDLESS amounts of free on demand disney movies, shows, and other ABC shows. Not that we spent alot of time in our room but we thought it was a nice feature.
Sailaway party was great - better than any I've seen on any ship i've been on! So much fun and definitly got you pumped for the vacation!
Dining - I will be honest... We did not really care for the food too much. Either the food was "too fancy" or just didn't taste all that good. The restaurants themselves were amazing. Our favorite was Animators palate. Our servers were Elhan and Rakesh. They were so nice and really attentive every night.
Activities - We knew when booking this cruise that DCL tailors the cruise to mostly families. And that was fine by us, we don't mind being around kids. Our only concern is there wasn't much for adults to do during sea days. Hmmm... do I want to go to an acupunture or posture analysis class today ;) We went to an animators class where we learned how to draw mickey and donald. that was really cool and I also liked the disney trivia games. I just think it would be nice to have a little bit more to do for adults. We loved going on the aquaduck! It was closed on two sea days because of high winds so we did not get to ride it as much as we would have liked.
Entertainment - The shows on this cruise were amazing! Aladdin was so awesome and could be on broadway it was so good. The other two main shows were wishes and believe. those were very entertaining as well! Our entertainment host in the tube lounge, Trevor was great! He was so funny and kept everyone entertained. If you want a good laugh, go to the quest game show. We also went to battle of the sexes. They also had a magician, comedian and a group called buckets N boards onboard that week. they were all very entertaining. Pirate night was also alot of fun. people dressed up like pirates and they have a buccaneer blast fireworks show off the ship. Disney does not disappoint! We also liked going to get our pictures taken with the characters! so much fun!
Ports of Call:
St. Thomas - GORGEOUS island... seriously paradise! We went on the screamin' eagle jet boat in the morning which was so much fun! then we took the skyride to paradise point, which had amazing views of the island.
San Juan - We took an atv tour through the EL Yunque rainforest. so awesome and alot of fun!
Castaway Cay - I cannot say enough about castaway cay... it was great! So peaceful and beautiful. There was a private beach called serenity bay for adults. they also had a BBQ lunch on the island as well. I went parasailing that day and will never forget it! You must go to castaway cay!
Service was impeccable on this cruise. Every cast member is so eager to help and happy to see you. This was such a different experience then when we were on NCL. Yikes! I would return to DCL in a heartbeat, just because of their awesome crew!
Debarkation - We chose to walk off the ship with our bags since we wanted to get off as soon as possible so we could go check in at our hotel and then go to the parks. We were off the boat and through customs by 7:45... amazing... I've never seen embarkation/debarkation go so smoothly!
Summary - I would not hesitate once about going on another Disney Cruise! I really want to go back! The Disney Fantasy is an amazing ship with so much to offer. Granted, it is more money for a disney cruise then say Carnival... but you get what you pay for. I felt as though on NCL you were constantly nickeled and dimed to spend more money when you had already spent enough (all the restaurants that you have to pay for) I liked that soda was included and did not have to pay for it extra like on other lines. Bottom line, you will love this cruise! Less

text: Actually, I ended up cutting a 5" hole with a hand held core drill held at just about waist level. The drill had a built-in bubble level, so it really wasn't too hard to do. Very intimidating at first, but once the bit got started into the concrete, it was actually pretty easy. 5" is definitely the limit for a handheld drill, though. Any larger and you'd need a fixtured setup.

As we already said that fx market never closes however it is divided in various sessions. There are three markets that comprise three different sessions. These markets are the asian market, the UK market and the US or New York market. You can divide the market in three sessions of 8 hours each. When one session closes the other opens and two of them overlap with each other to take the liquidity of forex market to the highest point. The forex exchange market kick starts from asian market each day as this session starts at 7 PM to 4AM EST. Most of the trading action of asia market takes place in the cities of Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore. At most of the time liquidity in asian markets of various cities is low as compared to US and UK markets. Although asian markets regarding foreign exchange are quite calm and low but you can make money in certain time slots of these markets. According to forex experts asia market is best for the traders that use sideways or ranging marketing strategies to earn money from the foreign exchange. The most popular currency trading pairs used in this market are USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, and EUR/USD. The most active pair in this market is USD/JPY as both the US dollar and Japanese Yen are two important international currencies in terms of trading. The advantage of trading in asian markets is that you can pick consistent, reliable and steady patterns of currency pairs in this market because the pace of this market is much slower as compared to other two markets. Major players in the asian market regarding foreign currency trading are the central banks and commercial exporters around the world. Most of these banks trading in the market are the direct competitors of each other so they try to make asia market a bit tense and unsustainable.

Serving up asset management
Asset management is like pizza that comes in many flavors and styles. It can be cut into several pieces, cooked with ingredients from home, or ordered out. So, would you like yours thin crust or deep dish?
The major process control vendors have been on top of this trend for several years. They saw the need for connecting the plant floor to IT long ago, so almost all of them now offer completely integrated asset management software packages that acquire the necessary data. Even SAP, the 800-lb ERP gorilla in our industry, has finally acknowledged that the plant floor is more than just a place to get production numbers.
"Integration of plant floor information with SAP is currently the hottest area in the enterprise IT space," says Jindrich Liska, manufacturing intelligence VP at Iconics. "Historically, SAP and other ERP vendors embraced a top-down approach of plan-driven push manufacturing. However, a top-down model doesn't meet the requirements of agility and responsiveness in today's competitive global market. Instead, the new bottom-up paradigm is emerging as an approach to leverage plant-floor, real-time information for fast and accurate business decision making."
In other words, the ERP tail once wagged the process control dog. Although plant systems obediently sent information to ERP and other higher level enterprise software on demand, results that would help plant operations rarely came back. But now, with your local AM software collecting plant floor data and using it to analyze process operations (See Figure 2 below), you don't need ERP anymore.
|Asset management software on a server lets management view plant data from all facilities worldwide. With AM software, like PortalWorX from Iconics, who needs ERP? Source: Iconics
ERP NEVER really worked anyway, says Dave Shook, marketing manager at Matrikon. "The dirty little secret of ERP software is that it's used for financial functions instead of driving manufacturing decision making," he says. "In process manufacturing, ERP has been a pretty big bust."
Another reason you never got any benefit from ERP and other AM software was because the various AM software packages were completely separate and didn't talk to each other.
Bruce Reierson, business development manager for asset optimization at ABB, explains that, "In the past, each of the involved disciplines used separate systems, specifically designed for their individual needs, to achieve their respective goals. These closed systems made it nearly impossible to leverage their benefits enterprise wide. Today, with the introduction of open architecture environments, the enterprise benefits by linking critical real-time plant floor information across the enterprise in a manner that is tailored to the individual user."
For process control professionals, open integration provides two benefits: first, linking your control system to AM improves overall plant operation; second, you and your control system can provide the information that will help optimize an entire enterprise. In short, build the crust correctly, and you may increase your status from being an unknown engineer in a remote plant to that of an information guru.
Ordering the Pizza
You can buy a pie from a pizzeria that just makes pizza or from a full-service restaurant that offers pizza along with its fish, chicken and tacos. However, you can't get a pizza with the same taste as a Domino's Pizza at a sit-down restaurant.
It's the same with AM software. All the major process control vendors offer a complete line of AM products, and all the software works together. Alas, some of the ingredients may not "taste" quite as good as software from a shop that specializes in CMMS, loop tuning or document management.
There are two arguments here. The first says process control vendors should configure their AM packages to meet specific needs of process industry users and run with their control systems, thus simplifying integration of the AM process. The opposing argument is that the specialty shops know more about their particular area of expertise than the process control vendors, so you can get a best-of-breed package by shopping around.
"Asset diagnostic applications take a variety of forms, but need to be correlated together to form a comprehensive view of asset, unit and plant health," says Emerson's Ochoa. "We believe the heart of AM is not CMMS, but rather the asset diagnostic and condition/performance monitoring technologies, and the ability to access these in a holistic manner."
Peter Martin, performance management VP at Invensys Process Systems, agrees that, "The intent is not just for the automation companies to provide CMMS, rather it is to combine the worlds of automation and maintenance in a way that will provide new levels of business value. Traditionally, operation and maintenance have been managed and automated independently. Automation suppliers are in an ideal position to accomplish a holistic approach because they interact with both operations and maintenance."
George Buckbee, marketing manager at ExperTune, counters that, "Best-in-class software tools often are orders-of-magnitude more capable than what an individual DCS or PLC vendor can provide. Before high-speed open connectivity, users were restricted to the tools provided with their DCS package. This was very limiting, because each DCS vendor couldn't keep up with the rate of innovation in each part of the asset management field. Independent software suppliers who focus on niche markets, are able to develop highly capable, best-in-class applications for asset management."
