Ayyavazhi symbolism
The Ayyavazhi symbolism deals with the symbols which are used in or used to represent Ayyavazhi. Though Akilam the scripture of Ayyavazhi does not point out any symbol directly, there are a few symbols which are used for representing Ayyavazhi which came into practice gradually.
Amongst these, the Lotus with Namam, which is the symbolic summary of Akilam, is the commonly used and most accepted symbol.
Lotus and Namam[edit]
The symbol of the Ayyavazhi is a lotus carrying a flame-shaped white 'Namam'.[1] The lotus represents the 1,008-petalled Sahasrara (in Tamil, Ladam) and the Namam represents the Aanma Jyothi or atman, sometimes translated as "soul" or "self".[1] There are references for Thirunamam in both primary and secondary scriptures, Akilattirattu Ammanai[2] and Arul Nool.[3] Though the overall consideration of the whole contents of Akilam focuses on the concept derived from the symbol 'Lotus carrying Namam', it seems that there is no direct reference for it in the scriptures. But according to some legends this symbol was in use in Ayyavazhi from the early forties of the twentieth century.[4]
Since the Sahasrara is symbolised as Lotus, no stem is drawn while designing art of the symbol. Seven(up) + seven(down) petals are used commonly. Also a new way of architecture is being developed in constructing Nizhal Thangals in which the inverted Lotus petals (as in sahasrara) are used as a design over the roof.[5]
The mythical narration of akilam about the eight yugas is often viewed philosophically as eight chakras.[6] The first Neetiya Yukam as Bindu and the final state of absolute bliss, Sahasrara is said to be the Dharma Yukam. In this series the energy of consciousness of oneself is to be raised from Bindu (Neetiya Yukam) to the final Sahasrara (Dharma Yukam) to experience the absolute 'bliss'.[7] The reigning power in the final Dharma Yukam(Sahasrara) is Ekam or the supreme absolute,[1] and thus the Ayyavazhi's symbol seems to be derived from Akilam. And the symbol of Ayyavazhi, 'Lotus with Namam' shows it; Vaikundar is being experienced in Sahasrara.
As per Hindu legends this Sahasrara chakra has '1000 petals' .[8] But in Ayyavazhi symbolism it was considered as 1008. In Akilam or Arul Nool there are no verses to treat this term '1000' but quite commonly the number '1008' is mentioned. Also the year of incarnation of Vaikundar is 1008 M.E. On backing these scriptural backgrounds, 1008 petal arrangement is followed in Ayyavazhi symbolism.[6]
Other phenomenological symbols[edit]
Akilam clearly points to the 'Flame shaped' single white Namam and its ideology clearly focuses on the importance of the '1008 petaled' Lotus. But there are traces that the Vaishnavite triple Namam is being used though rarely in Ayyavazhi. The northern entrance of the Swamithope pathi carries such a form of Namam with the Holy Conch and the Chakra(of Vishnu) on its two sides. Secondly, the Palaramachandran version of Akilathirattu also carries similar Namam until the ninth impression, while it has been replaced by the Single white Namam from the tenth impression onwards. This is one of the phenomenological variations that is seen in the late 19th and the early 20th century Ayyavazhi. This may be because Ayyavazhi has not been properly understood among the common mass and so the people only considered Vaikundar as the incarnation of Vishnu and used the Vaishnavite symbol to represent Ayyavazhi. But still on the other hand the single white Thirunamam is used as ritual practice among the worshippers. It is evident that this symbol, ' Lotus and Namam ' has been used in Ayyavazhi from the mid-twentieth century.
There is also a practice of using 'Garuda' as the symbol of Ayyavazhi. The previous flag mast of Swamithope pathi which was replaced by the new one in the 1980s, mounts a brass image (idol) of Garuda at the top. In Ambala Pathi still the flag mast carries an idol of Garuda. The practice of using Conch and Chakra (of Vishnu) also seems to be current. A stone carving at Vadava mugam (possibly of late 19th century C.E), the northern entrance of Swamithope pathi includes this ' Conch & Chakra '. As per Akilam the Chakra of Vishnu is bought as boon by Kaliyan and now it is with him. So the basic logic of Akilam is against these practices.
Again, using idols and personifications is heavily countered by Akilam, but is still in practice among a minority section of the followers. Also there is a practice of using only the 'Thirunamam' without the 1008 Petaled Lotus. This too is occasionally in practice.

Contained Places
Prince George, with a population of 71,973 (census agglomeration of 88,043), is the largest city in northern British Columbia, Canada, and is the "Northern Capital" of BC despite being located in the geographical southern half of the province at only 54 degrees latitude. Situated at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers, and the crossroads of Highway 16 and Highway 97, the city is the service and supply hub for one of the fastest-growing regions in Canada and plays an important role in the province's economy and culture.
The origins of Prince George can be traced to the North West Company fur trading post of Fort George, which was established in 1807 by Simon Fraser and named in honour of King George III. The post was centred in the centuries-old homeland of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, whose very name means "people of the confluence of the two rivers".
Throughout the 19th century Fort George remained unchanged, while Fort St. James reigned as the main trading post and capital of the New Caledonia area. Even during the Cariboo Gold Rush, Fort George was isolated, although Quesnel prospered as the Cariboo Road was built to its doorstep, making it the main staging area for the miners going to the goldfields at Barkerville. Then, when the Collins Overland Telegraph Trail was built in 1865–67, it bypassed Fort George, following the Blackwater Trail from Quesnel and continuing northwest towards Hazelton.
Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
Finally in 1903, Fort George's fortune began to change when it was announced that the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (later part of CN Rail) would pass near the fur post. In 1906, agricultural settlement began around Fort George and then in 1909, development of the town began as two rival land speculation companies built the communities of South Fort George and Central Fort George. South Fort George was built on the Fraser River near the Hudson's Bay Company's trading post and Central Fort George was built two miles (3 km) to the northwest on the Nechako River. Both communities flourished due to the marketing strategies of the land promoter for Central Fort George, George Hammond, who advertised the community all over Canada and Britain, describing Fort George in glowing terms as being the future hub of British Columbia, having mild winters and being suitable for any agricultural endeavor (except for the growing of peaches). Ten paddle steamer sternwheelers serviced the area, coming up on the Fraser River from Soda Creek.
War years
With the onset of the Great War in 1914, the local economy was devastated as many local men enlisted and the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway was halted, creating a massive drop in population, a problem that was exacerbated by the ensuing Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. Prince George persevered through the 1920s and the Great Depression of the 1930s and did not experience any significant growth until World War II when an army camp was built at the foot of Cranbrook Hill, bringing new life to the struggling businesses and service industries.
Army Camp Prince George was opened during WWII and once housed 6000 soldiers. From March 1942 - October 1943, divisional troops and units of the 16th Infantry Brigade (8th Canadian Infantry Division) were housed there. The camp was located in the area of 1st Street, Central Street,15th Ave, to the bottom of Cranbrook Hill. Barracks were built to house the soldiers, dining halls constructed to feed them, and wet canteens for their leisure and entertainment. There were rifle ranges, mortar ranges and artillery ranges. The camp closed at the end of the war. Most of the buildings were either demolished or moved to new locations, although some remain in their original locations, such as the former transportation building on 15th Avenue, that was used by the British Columbia Forestry Service from the late 1940s to 1963. It is now owned by the City of Prince George for use by the Community Arts Council. The Nechako Bottle Depot on First Avenue is also another former camp building. Others include the first Overwaitea store, at Victoria and Third, formerly a barracks and the original civic centre, which was the old drill shed, was removed and rebuilt on Seventh Avenue.
After the war, as the ravaged European cities rebuilt, the demand for lumber skyrocketed and Prince George, with its abundance of sawmills and spruce trees, prospered. Finally, in 1952, after 40 years of construction, the Pacific Great Eastern was completed and joined with the CN line at Prince George, and with the completion of Highways 16 and 97, Prince George finally fulfilled George Hammond's long ago promise of being the hub of British Columbia.
Modern history
Canadian Forces Station CFS Baldy Hughes (ADC ID: C-20) was constructed in 1952 as a closed General Surveillance Radar station. It was located 22.3 miles (35.9 km) south-southwest of Prince George, and was closed in 1988. It was operated as part of the Pinetree Line network controlled by NORAD. Today the former station is The Baldy Hughes Addiction Treatment Centre.
On June 25, 1956, at just after 7 o'clock a Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane built in 1943 (Serial Number 8300, bearing Canadian Registration CF-HSC) flown by Frank Samuel Pynn, out of the Prince George Airport, was observed flying in an unsafe manner, it went into a half roll, seemed to fall over on its back and nosed into a deep ravine in the cut-banks on the north side of town approximately one kilometer from the city center. Pilot Frank Pynn, a former Royal Air Force Transport Command pilot, and his passenger, 15 year old Jimmy Clarke died on impact. Alcohol consumption was believed to be a factor in the crash and the Coroners inquest found that Pynn died "through his own neglect and complete disregard for the Aeronautical Regulations of Canada." The wreckage is still there, however most pieces are less than two meters in length.
In 1964 the first pulp mill, Prince George Pulp and Paper was built, followed by two more in 1966, Northwood Pulp and Intercontinental Pulp. New schools and more housing were needed and the new subdivisions of Spruceland, Lakewood, Perry and Highglen were built. Then, in 1975, Prince George amalgamated and extended its borders to include the Hart area to the north, Pineview to the south and the old town of South Fort George to the east. In 1981, Prince George was the second largest city in British Columbia with a population of 67,559, narrowly edging Victoria out of the honour, whose population was then 64,379.
Low-lying areas adjacent to the confluence of the rivers, which can freeze, mean that those areas suffer recurring flooding. In late 2007 an ice jam formed on the Nechako River and soon grew to a length of more than 6 kilometres, causing widespread flooding in the city. Faster runoff due to devastation of nearby lodgepole pine forests by the mountain pine beetle was identified as a contributing factor. A state of emergency was declared on December 11. On January 14, 2008, with the ice jam still present, the Provincial Emergency Program approved an unprecedented plan to melt the ice by piping water from a pulp mill steam plant 2.7 km to the jam area where it would be mixed with well water and poured into the river at a temperature of 15 °C. In the interim an amphibious excavator was used for 10 days to move some of the ice. Costing C$400,000 to build and C$3,000 per day to run, the "Warm Water System" was completed on January 29, by which time the ice jam had grown to 25 km long.
As a result of long-term lobbying from local groups (championed by local advocate Sheldon Clare, and members of 396 Air Cadet Squadron, 2618 Army Cadet Corps, 158 Sea Cadet Corps, 142 Navy League Corps, Branch 43 Royal Canadian Legion, and the Peacekeepers Association) in February 2011, Canadian Forces 39 Canadian Brigade Group Headquarters announced that a detachment of the Rocky Mountain Rangers Army Reserve unit was to be formed in Prince George. The Rocky Mountain Rangers are currently increasing recruiting efforts in the community to reach platoon and then company size.
Prince George hosts the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

Saturday at noon on Classical Minnesota Public Radio, you can hear the grand opera, Tosca, by Giacomo Puccini. The Metropolitan Opera will broadcast live. As is the case with so many musical masterpieces, the beginning stages of Tosca's creation are as gripping as the music itself.
I wonder how Puccini did it. He wanted something so much, he kept asking until he got it. Doesn't always work that way, does it?
Puccini saw the play La Tosca written by Victorien Sardou twice. He knew immediately he wanted to turn it into an opera. He wrote his publisher, Ricordi, to see if Ricordi could obtain the rights. Nothing came of that request, so Puccini dropped the idea to wrap up a little project called La Boheme. When that achievement was said and done, he again asked Ricordi to contact Sardou for the permission to turn La Tosca into an opera. Insert obstacle here: Sardou already gave the rights to Alberto Franchetti. Franchetti had Luigi Illica write a libretto, and it seemed as though Puccini's dream vanished.
Luckily, Puccini was already a rock star, of sorts. Ricordi talked Franchetti into giving up the rights. I imagine the conversation went something like this:
Ricordi: "So, Alberto, I hear you're making an opera from La Tosca."
Franchetti: "Yeah, my guy already wrote a libretto for it."
Ricordi: "Ever heard of Puccini?"
Franchetti: "Giacomo or Bernardo? My cousin married a Bernardo Puccini."
Ricordi: "Give us the rights."
Franchetti: "Fine."
Puccini got his wish. Aside from dealing with a moody librettist, Giuseppe Giacosa, Puccini's Tosca came together. And Puccini being the ridiculously type-A personality that he was, the details of the opera are impeccable, right down to the order in which the Cardinals process into the cathedral.
Musically speaking, some of the most beautiful arias Puccini ever wrote appear in Tosca. Additionally, Puccini weaves musical motives (leitmotifs) throughout its entirety, borrowing a page from Wagner's compositional toolkit.
And for the drama, there is no shortage. Murder, deception, suicide and heartbreak are mixed with a smidgen of politics (Napoleon's conquests never get old).
You can hear Tosca on Classical MPR Saturday at noon in a live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera.

Altamont Library Notes for Thursday, July 25, 2013
Archeologists are fascinated by the physical remains of past human lives and activities. They find things, and then they figure them out. Finding and figuring out. It begins to sound something like a game.
Local kids between ages 6 and 12 years old are welcome to join the staff from the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, on Monday, July 29, at 3:30 p.m., at the library. Learn something about the archeology game; what they look for, how they find it, how they fit what they find into a past world of past lives.
Dig your town
On Tuesday, July 30, at 10:30 a.m., kids of all ages are invited to go on a scavenger hunt around Altamont. You will be looking for odd things in strange places and learning a bit about the village as you hunt. Melanie Shatynski will be leading the hunt.
Meow mummies
This is your chance to learn about Egyptian art. Egyptians loved cats, at least the kings and queens did. They also enjoyed mummifying each other. Modern day Altamont kids will be making cat mummies on Wednesday afternoon, July 31, at 3:30 p.m. This, of course, is a craft, and no animals will be harmed, invited to attend, or otherwise bothered.
Rock that plant
Kids 10 and older are urged to be here on Friday, July 26, at 3:30 p.m. They will learn to convert a used CD case into a see-through plant lab. Seed instead of CD. Get it?
Next Tuesday's, July 30, Concert in the Park will begin with a unique downbeat. Former Altamont resident, Leon Rothenburg, the recent winner of a Tony Award for sound design, will be recognized and applauded. He, in turn, will recall the many hometown teachers, musicians, and career guides who taught, influenced, and supported him.
Be sure to get there early. The Band of the Week is Thirteen Feet of Bluegrass. Chances are they will have a mandolin player, and somebody who can sing tenor to a dog whistle.

Cartoons and terrible CG movies have taught me that cats and dogs are the greatest of enemies. However, while dogs and cats might spend a lot of their time chasing each other and swiping at one another's heads, here's video evidence that proves a truce between the species is – at the very least – negotiable:
A Friendly Massage Between Pets
Traditionally enemies, occasionally see above.
Wonderful Things
Whatever you want, okay?
Everybody's Game
The cat didn't even take his claws out once.
Get In There…
Chasing squirrels up trees would make you tense too.
Elegant Massage
This cat's got class!
Weird Massage
I think I see where that almost headed.
Happy Ending?
Yikes, I hope not.

A musical like no other, Coraline sprang from the minds of three of the most wildly popular cult figures of our time. Adapted from the terrifying children's book by Neil Gaiman (author of the international sensation Sandman), this tale of menace and mayhem is set to music and lyrics by smart-rock iconoclast Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, and boasts a book by celebrated downtown actor/playwright, David Greenspan, who serves double-duty as the villainous Other Mother. Tony nominee Jayne Houdyshell (Well, The Receptionist) stars in the title role, and bringing it all together is acclaimed director Leigh Silverman (Yellowface, From Up Here, Well)
Produced by MCC Theatre in association with True Love Productions. Originally staged at the Lucille Lortel Theater, New York City.
"In the hands of The Magnetic Fields mastermind Stephin Merritt, the story retains every bit of its fantastical, delightfully macabre tone." - Spin
"Houdyshell is one of our most sensitive actresses, and her characterization of a bold, resourceful little heroine is spot-on. David Greenspan is mesmerizing!" - New York Post
"The big, glossy, efficiently tidy musicals often seen uptown, with nay a hair out of place, aren't an eighth as fresh or as much fun as Coraline." - Village Voice
"The show is devilishly funny...wildly unconventional!" - Variety "An eerie, imaginative little musical... Unique, fascinating entertainment!" - Associated Press "Stephin Merritt is the greatest songwriter of his generation." - Time Out New York
"Critics sometimes compare Stephin Merritt with Cole Porter because Porter is shorthand for the kind of smart, urbane lyrics Merritt writes." - New York Times

Frequency or tone would probably be a better term here. Quoting Daniel Dennet from "This Is Your Brain On Music" - an excellent book by the way: "~ Pitch is a purely psychological construct, related both to the actual frequency of a particular tone and to its relative position in the musical scale. I gave note names for the two tones in a North American dial tone in another post, but that's probably going into risky territory. particular frequency values in HZ would be more accurate, since things get shady if we talk about notes. For example, a busy signal is, to my ear at least, a little sharp of B-flat4 and D5 played simultaneously. Many of the other tones Annabelle is looking for aren't exact notes from twelve-tone equal temprament either.

text: "Why should you expect to be able to do more processing for the same money?" Because that is the path other vendors have chosen. We run MS SQL Server here along with Oracle and MS only counts physical processors for their licensing. We have relatively modest needs at our shop so those same dual processor servers we've been buying all along still use the same license count regardless of the fact that they now contain multiple cores. I'm not sure what I'm going to do come the next Oracle upgrade cycle when each processor now contains X cores and my license count starts a never ending climb. In my opinion, given the industry shift from the Mhz race to the core count race, a reasonable licensing policy needs to take this shift into account and not force their customers to switch to other vendors to control costs. Just my .02.

Why should you expect to be able to do more processing for the same money? If you remember back in the day Oracle used to charge less per socket for Intel than other CPUs (Sparc, Alpha, RISC) because the performance of Intel in comparison was so crappy. Once intel played catch-up that discount was removed. Fast forward and Oracle [started | were forced to start] charging different prices for sockets compared to cores because they recognized a core was not equivalent to a socket in terms of performance. Fast foward again to the future and if you tell me that in a 64-core socket, each core is not as productive as a core on a 4-core socket, then I will expect a reduced cost per core on the 64-core chip compared to the 4-core chip, but if they are equally productive, I would expect to pay the same per-core price. It strikes me you have a choice: a) You buy a big new server and you choose to use all the cores so you should pay for the extra licenses. b) You buy a big new server and use virtualization to create a VM that is pinned to X number of cores. Your licensing costs have not changed and you have lots of extra cores free to do something else with. Multi-core does not have to affect your licensing. There will be many companies who don't need the umph who will use bigger servers to consolidate. Those that do need the extra horsepower do so because their requirements are growing, so they should expect to pay more money. I would not buy a Ferrari and expect to spend the same on petrol as I do for my Renault Clio. :) If you are listening Larry, please send me lots of cash for my justification of your crappy pricing model.

I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Oracle (and other folks are getting frustrated too). Oracle needs to fix their broken licensing model. For the past few decades, Moore's law has been applied to processors by making smaller more efficient circuits and thus faster chips. In that ecosystem, Oracle could charge by socket or by core because there was room for processing growth without automatically doubling license costs. Today the chips can't get any smaller. Moore's law is applied to processors by increasing parallelism. Intel says "this new chip now has 64 cores!!" ...and I say "NOOOOOOOO! My license costs!!!!!" We need to maintain the growth of processing capacity we've had for the past few decades, but nobody can afford to start doubling our database license costs every year. This business of "fractional pricing for cores" isn't going to fix anything in the long run. Oracle REALLY needs to do something about it, and I'm getting a bit tired of waiting... these costs are getting a little crazy for the average business. -Jeremy Zhu,Chao wrote: > with recent release of the T3 processor/system: > > so does anyone know how oracle is going to license the new T3 > processor for its oracle database server? in T2 it was 0.75/core, so > each socket uses 6 oracle license; > > With T3 not adding more threads to each core, and each socket with 16 > cores, each socket is going to use 12 oracle license then? > > Also in the very early days the tech specification from external (even > wiki) was each core of the T3 processor is going to be 16 threads > (instead of the current 8 threads, which is same as T2); Was oracle > afraid of charging each core 1.5 license:)? > > > -- > Regards > Zhu Chao > > -- http://www.ardentperf.com +1 312-725-9249 Jeremy Schneider Chicago -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l

Problem on reinstalling Fedora
Hi all,
This is a dualboot system (LVM)
1) Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64bit
2) Fedora 17 desktop 64bit
On original installtion I installed Ubuntu first leaving about half space of the harddrive (160G total capacity) for Fedora. During installing Fedora I deselected "saving bootloader to sda".
Installation went through without problem with dualboot working properly.
About 3 hours before, for an unknown reason Fedora failed boot. Please see my posting on;
Then I reinstalled Fedora without saving the bootloader on sda. After installation completed I couldn't start Grub on reboot.
Then I reinstalled Fedora the 2nd time wiht bootload saved to sda selected. After installation finish on reboot Grub start but I couldn't find Ubuntu on Grub.
Please help to get Ubuntu back to Grub. TIA
Have you tried the steps at fedoraproject link below:
If that doesn't resolve the problem, run the bootinfoscript and review the output or post it here.
with fedora it might be a good idea to have two grub's installed
leave the MBR with ubuntu's bootloaer
make a 1 GIG ( yes gig "preupgrade" NEEDS THAT MUCH) a 1 Gig "/boot" partition on he FIRST Fedora partition ( must be one of the 4 primary's )
then just ad an entry in Ubuntu's bootlader pointing o fedoras /boot partition
if you ar NOT going to use the unstable "preupgrade" then fedora's /boot partition only needs to be 100 Meg.
Thanks for your advice. Could you please explain in more detail.
Whether you meant to have 2 bootloaders (one for Ubuntu and another for Fedora)? Then which of them will start first at booting?
Now I can't start Ubuntu.
# fdisk -l
But this time I can't leave without saving bootloader at installing Fedora. I don't know why. Otherwise at booting Grub can't popup. It is quite strange to me.
# cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
an example might be something like this
single hdd partition layout
ubuntu / fedora
sda1 /boot- ubuntu
sda2 - ubuntu
sda3 /boot fedora
sda4 fedora
( as long as fedora's /boot is one of the 4 primary partitions any layout will do )
in the gui install do a "custom layout and manually FORCE grub to the first fedora partition
it is in the gui options , but you will need to look for it .
then in the Ubuntu's menu.lis
at the end add something like this
title Fedora 17
the thinking on using this type of set up is that fedora gets kernel updates every week or few days
and that has to edit the menu.lis/grub.conf EVERY TIME
now grub is fine figuring out just what is installed and only one install is NEEDED
if fedora royally messes up , and it dose happen , then ubuntu's bootloader will not be touched
a bit more work and a bit more complex but if thing go VERY WRONG with one of the os's then the other will NOT have been changed
this also is better if you have more that 1 drive
on a single drive it can be a bit crowded
just use one grub install and sometimes you might have to use the dvd to mount the drive and manually edit the menu.lis manually after you run
" chroot /mnt/sysimage"
if you KNOW the partition locations for everything then that is also easy
there is normally 2 or 3 or 4 different ways to do something
use what YOU like

This book, Tiessen claims, is probably the most powerful and most unique book ever written for women. In it he shows all women, especially those who are "not so young anymore", how they can still attract large numbers of men, even if that presently is not the case. Almost all women, he says – even those into their sixties and seventies - can still have men turning their heads in admiration whenever they pass by. He then goes on to tell women how to get their men to show a renewed interest in them, and ways to get their "love feelings" to become more intense. He also offers a very unique solution to a problem that many women encounter – how to deal with "the other woman". Tiessen is not afraid to state his mind and has not allowed himself to be bound by what is socially correct, thereby making this book a very controversial read. The book is about four hundred pages, is easy to read, and has been likened to one of those books that,... More > once started, is very difficult to put down.< Less

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
In a news release announcing a new promotion connected to the 95thanniversary of El Fenix, the owners speak of how the restaurant chain is "as much a part of the Dallas tradition as the State Fair of Texas."
So some might find it curious that a big airline promotion – giving away airline miles to 2,000 lucky patrons in the Dallas area, does not involve either local airline.
The first 2,000 people who stop by select El Fenix locations next Tuesday and Wednesday will each receive 20,000 free miles from Spirit Airlines – that's enough for a standard round-trip award (not counting taxes and fees).
That adds up to 40 million miles.
Ft. Lauderdale-based Spirit Airlines started service at Dallas – Fort Worth International Airport on May 5, 2011, offering flights to just two cities. It now flies non-stop from North Texas to more than 20 destinations in the U.S. and Mexico.
We asked El Fenix if it had reached out to the two local airlines: Southwest and American. Turns out Spirit approached El Fenix.
Meanwhile, if you're interested in flying Spirit, here's your chance:
Tuesday, Jan. 28, El Fenix – Downtown, 1601 McKinney Ave., Dallas, 75202. 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 29, El Fenix – Irving, 3911 W. Airport Freeway, Irving, TX 75062 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A thousand certificates will be given out each day.
No food purchase is necessary.

I believe this allowed me to make contributions in certain areas simply because others did not or would not take the time, which sometimes required months of tedious work to collect the data and, at the same time, to get to know the data. I can recall in some cases getting incredulous looks or comments from people who said something like, 'I can't believe you actually spent six to nine months collecting all this data by hand.' Although I kept quiet, I felt like saying, 'It's a GSB thing. You won't get it.'"

"First day as a MBA student in Fama's first-year PhD finance class, he told us that if anyone was planning on 'proving' that the CAPM was not accurate, to not waste his time. 'It's a simple model explaining a very complex process, I know it's not accurate. But here is your opportunity, come up with a model that works better. Then you will have my attention!' This simple statement has stuck with me throughout my financial management and operations management career."

"I entered U of C to earn my MBA in finance, and every time we'd meet to look at elective classes, Fama thought I should substitute statistics courses for the finance electives. I did this for two years. In the meantime, we did term papers and class projects using the CRSP files, and my wife got used to getting her Valentine's day and anniversary cards key punched out in FORTRAN. My class partner and I got used to duking it out with whomever those rare parking spots belonged to late at night down behind the campus physics building where the BIG computers called home where we sat hoping that our box and a half of cards would compile. When the time came to graduate, I discovered there was no MBA comprehensive exam in statistics. Professor Fama says, 'No problem, I'll approve you taking half the PhD prelim instead.' What a snap. I graduated anyway. He probably would have some difficulty remembering me, but I'll never forget Gene Fama, although when I knew him he had a lot more hair."

Given their performances this season in San Antonio, New Orleans and Memphis, perhaps no one is surprised by the Jazz's ugly 104-84 loss in Denver Friday night. The defeat marked Utah's seventh loss in nine games at the Pepsi Center.
GUARDS: As good as Mo Williams has been this season — he's leading Utah in points and assists per game — his two-point, four-assist, four-turnover night against the Nuggets didn't quite fit the description. With no free throws attempted, at least he remained a perfect 16-of-16 from the charity stripe so far this season. Gordon Hayward (15 points, 6-of-7 shooting) was great offensively, but Denver's counterparts, Ty Lawson and Andre Iguodala, were better than the Jazz duo (combined 34 points, nine rebounds, eight assists). Interesting that Hayward played just 22 minutes, however. Randy Foye actually played more than six more but shot just 4-of-13 from the field. GRADE: C-.
FORWARDS: Poor performances from opposing small forwards Marvin Williams (5 points, 2-of-7 shooting) and Danilo Gallinari (five points on 2-of-11 shooting) negated each other, though Derrick Favors (11 rebounds and five blocks in just 25 minutes) played more than Williams. Paul Millsap (11 points, five rebounds, 25 minutes) wasn't spectacular, while Denver rookie Kenneth Faried's 18-point, 11-rebound night marked his fourth straight double-figure scoring game. GRADE: C-.
CENTERS: Let's just say Al Jefferson's performance Friday isn't why the Jazz are paying him $65 million over five years. Big Al can't expect to shoot 1-of-9 and expect to win, especially while his starting center opponent — a former Jazzman in Kosta Koufos, no less — tallies 15 points and nine rebounds in just 25 minutes (far above his four-season career averages of 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds). Enes Kanter (13 points, six rebounds, three blocks) was far better than Jefferson in 20 minutes in his highest point total of the regular season. GRADE: D+.
BENCH: The Jazz reserves did outscore their counterparts 47-42, but they didn't help themselves as Denver swingman Corey Brewer scored 20 points — nearly twice his season average. Alec Burks apparently was ready to put on a show in the state where he played in college (Colorado University). But it didn't quite work: the second-year player jacked up nine shots in just 14 minutes and made just one. GRADE: C.
OVERALL: Thirty-seven percent field-goal shooting — including 4-of-23 beyond the arc — and 18 turnovers spell perhaps the worst performance of the season for the Jazz. One must wonder why coach Tyrone Corbin held back Hayward and Favors. It's amazing how inept the Jazz have been on the road — especially considering they're the polar opposite in Salt Lake City. GRADE: C-.

A young man was stabbed in City Heights in the predawn hours of Saturday, in what may have been a gang-related attack outside of a party.
An unidentified man in his 20s was attacked by several people after he walked by a house where a party was happening just before 1:30 a.m. The house is near the corner of Dwight and 46th streets.
The victim was stabbed twice in the back and once in the stomach, but his wounds are not considered life-threatening, San Diego Police said. The police described the attackers as gang members.

EOS 600D Manual and Lenses Compatibility
Dec 27, 2011
Hello everyone,
I have a friend has recently bought a 600D and I'd like to share with her some of my two dozen Pentax K mount and screwmount lenses.
I know the register distance is shorter on the EOS mount and there are adapters out there for it but how does the 600D handle metering, if at all?
If you have experience with this or know about any issues that I might encounter, I would appreciate you sharing the information.
Thanks in advance.

Based on second quarter results, we are maintaining our 2012 adjusted EBITDA outlook of $320 million to $335 million. We continue to see strong sales increases at our Image Activation restaurant and plan to accelerate the expansion of the program in 2013. We are confident that the substantial capital investments we and our franchisees are making will drive the long-term profitability and growth of the Wendy's brand.The 3 key reference points guiding our thinking strategically and tactically are: our brand positioning of A Cut Above, the growth pyramid illustrated in this slide and our Recipe to Win. Our company and franchise operators are aligned with and committed to these 3 cultural foundations, as keys to producing consistent brand, sales and profit growth. The 7 growth initiatives, as illustrated by this pyramid, begin with the foundation of our business, North American sales growth. Beyond driving same-store sales growth, Image Activation is the most important initiative in our company. As our reimaged restaurants enable our marketing, our food and our people to be more effective in delivering a total experience that our customers are telling us that they absolutely love. The 6 P's in our Recipe to Win bring our growth strategies to life, and when executed in unison, are powerful. We are optimistic about the potential of each of these growth players and our Recipe to Win. And now, I'll turn it over to Steve, and then I'll return with more thoughts on our growth strategy. Stephen E. Hare Thank you, Emil, and good morning. And thank you for joining us today. We began the second quarter with the introduction of the Spicy Guacamole Chicken Club in April. In May, we launched our new Signature sides, featuring Mac 'N Cheese, Baked Sweet Potato and our Chili Cheese Fries. In June, we promoted the return of a Wendy's seasonal favorite, the Berry Almond Chicken Salad. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

The PSNI said it has discovered a significant terrorist hide containing bomb-making components in a country park in Co Antrim.
The find follows a security operation yesterday in Belfast when two viable explosive devices were found.
Police and British army bomb disposal officers searched Carnfunnock Country Park at Ballygally on the Antrim coast road near Larne, after a member of the public reported seeing a suspicious object.
During the search operation, security forces uncovered a number of small plastic barrels which had been buried in a wooded area in the park.
Police said that inside the barrels they found a significant amount of bomb-making components including partially constructed devices and a small quantity of explosives.
The items were taken away for a detailed forensic examination. The PSNI said that until the examination is completed it was too early to link the explosives to any particular grouping, but said they were following a number of lines of inquiry.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Liz Shimek scored 22 points and set a school record for rebounds in a career, leading Michigan State to a 75-53 victory over Penn State on Thursday night.

Lindsay Bowen had eight points and moved past Rasmussen into fourth place on the Spartans' career scoring list with 1,495 points. She added seven assists.
Penn State (6-8, 0-3) had four players in double figures. Kamela Gissendanner scored 17 points, Amanda Brown 15 before fouling out, Adrienne Squire 11, and Brianne O'Rourke finished with 10.
Michigan State led 36-28 at halftime and 45-32 with 16:28 left, but the Lady Lions chipped away with three 3-pointers and closed within 55-53.
The Spartans controlled the game in the last 6:45, tightening its defensive pressure and getting eight points from Shimek.

Factoria Transfer Station Replacement Project
Project description
The original Factoria Transfer Station was constructed in the mid-1960s. The facility is currently under construction and is being replaced with a larger, modern facility built to meet current building and environmental standards and to accommodate projected future growth in the region. The Factoria Transfer Station is located in a light industrial area approximately one half mile north of Interstate 90 and one half mile east of Interstate 405.
The station currently accepts garbage and household hazardous waste – in a designated drop off area.
In May 2016, the project reached a major milestone with the opening of a new 70,000-square-foot transfer building. New features include:
Future improvements (coming in late 2017) will include:
Public involvement
The public involvement process provides an opportunity for customers, area residents and other interested parties to learn about the facility replacement project and to offer comments on the planned improvements. Please see project schedule below for any public meetings or events.
On-line comments
If you have questions or would like to provide comments on the project, please use our online comment form to ensure a timely response.
Project schedule
The LEED™ Green Building Rating System™ recognizes environmental leadership in the building industry. It is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. LEED™ emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Projects can obtain various levels of certification including Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum - based on a point rating system. The goal of the Factoria Transfer Station replacement project is to attain a LEED™ Gold rating.
Some of the sustainable features being considered for the new station include:
These features are consistent with the Solid Waste Division's environmental focus and with King County's "Green Building Initiative" that promotes the use of environmentally responsible construction practices in all of the County's building projects. The green building practices applied to this project are also expected to result in lower life cycle costs than in more conventional building designs.
Public art
In 1973, King County adopted legislation creating the 1 Percent for Art Program. The program requires that 1 percent of funds from capital construction projects be set aside for public artwork. Experience has shown that investments in public art benefit the community in many ways, from deterring vandalism to turning public facilities into better neighbors and community assets.
The artwork for the project will likely reflect a solid waste or recycling theme and will help promote greater public awareness regarding solid waste issues. The artist selected for the Factoria Transfer Station Replacement Project is Al Price of Phoenix, Ariz. For information about Mr. Price's work, please visit the 4Culture website below.
Public art associated with King County construction projects is managed by 4Culture, the county's cultural services agency. 4Culture ensures that the work of artists is reflected in the built environment, bringing art into the everyday lives of visitors and residents. More information about the agency can be found at www.4culture.org (external).

text: In French, there is a very specific pattern for the melody/rhythm/pitch (intonation pattern, whatever you want to call it!) of a sentence as a whole. I am not talking about pitch-accent on individual words, but the melody of a sentence as a whole. For example in this sentence: "La chambre des députés / a adopté un projet de loi / lors d'une séance plénière / vendredi dernier." ----------------------^^^^--------------------------^^^^--------------------------^^^^-----------------___ The pitch of the sentence is relatively flat and rises at the end of each section of a phrase (or rhythmic group). Then at the very end of the sentence, the pitch goes down. I tried to show that with lines: --- means flat pitch, ^^ means the pitch rises, ___ means the pitch goes down. French is different from English, which has stressed and unstressed syllables instead of rhythmic groups, making it sound "choppier". French sentences flow very smoothly. So, what is the correct melody of a Japanese sentence? Does it have rhythmic groups like French, stressed and unstressed syllables like English, or something totally different? For example, what is the appropriate way to read these sentences out loud? On which syllables does your voice rise, fall, or stay flat? ex) 子供の時、"空を飛んでみたい"、"違う世界に行ってみたい"と思いませんでしたか。 ex) ある日、のびた君はテストがあるのを忘れて、全然勉強しませんでした。 ex) 京都には古いお寺がたくさんありますが、私がよく行く所は嵐山です。 French phonetics are a huge part of French studies, yet I can't seem to find good explanations of Japanese phonetics anywhere. Thanks in advance for the help. (Example sentences are from the Genki II textbook.)
