Spin Your Thesis! programme
The Spin Your Thesis! (SYT) programme offers university students (bachelor, master and PhD levels) the opportunity to perform scientific or technological research in hypergravity conditions in a number of fields such as biology, biochemistry, microbiology, optical physics, material sciences, fluid dynamics, geology and plasma physics. A Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) has been developed by ESA that can cater to experiments requiring hypergravity conditions with levels ranging from 1 to 20 g. With 6 gondolas mounted on the long arms and one central gondola as a control experiment (1 g) this facility can provide, for example, a hypergravity environment for cells and plants, as well as physical science and technological experiments.
Experiments for the LDC can have a size of around 50 cm x 50 cm x 75 cm and weigh up to 80 kg. Several other resources such as electricity, water and gas outlets are available in the experiment gondolas. Lastly, several facilities for experiment control and monitoring, such as LabVIEW, are present.
With the Spin Your Thesis! programme, ESA provides university students the chance to perform experimental research in facilities usually not accessible to them. The programme usually opens a call for proposals once a year which then stays open for eight months. During this time, student teams, together with the endorsing professors from their universities, are encouraged to submit their proposals for experiments in the LDC.
The experiments proposals may cover various disciplines which will be selected based on scientific and technological merit by a team of scientists and experts in that field. Up to four teams will be selected and asked to develop their experiment within eight months, after which they will be granted the opportunity to access the LDC for two and a half days. A team typically consists of 2 to 4 students. After the campaign is over, the results will need to be processed and documented within 4 months. A more detailed timeline can be found here.
SYT is a great opportunity for students to conduct their experiments in hypergravity conditions. Moreover, ESA strongly encourages the research results to be published in papers and journals which should also be presented at international conferences.
Are you interested in participating in the next Spin your Thesis! campaign? Please check the call for proposals status on the page Current opportunities.

For any additional inquiries, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
What type of hair is used to make Miellee Hair Extensions?
Miellee Hair Extensions are made of natural human hair sourced in Virgin + Remy condition. This is the highest quality hair available on the market.
What does it mean if hair is "Virgin"?
Virgin Hair is totally pure and unprocessed – it has never been bleached, colored, or chemically processed. Blonde hair was grown on a blonde head, curly hair on a curly head, etc. As a result, the hair has a healthy, rich, vibrant look you can see and feel.
What does it mean if hair is "Remy"?
Remy Hair is vibrant and healthy, with cuticles intact, facing their proper direction. In practical terms, this means that the hair was cut off of the person's head in the form of a ponytail so that each hair strand was left facing the direction that it grew in originally. This is important because it means that the cuticles of the hair will retain necessary moisture and protect the hair against damage.
What does it mean if hair is double drawn?
Double drawn hair is thick from top to bottom. Technically speaking, 'double drawn' means that when the hair is sourced from the donor, it gets sorted through twice to remove short hairs. As a result of the extra effort, these extensions have fewer short hairs mixed in than single drawn hair but still have a natural looking taper at the ends.
Does Miellee sell single drawn and triple drawn hair as well?
Yes! If you are interested in single drawn or triple drawn hair, please email email@example.com to discuss options.
Where exactly does Miellee Hair come from?
Miellee Hair is ethically sourced from donors in Russia, Brazil and India, where hair is naturally beautiful and resilient.
Can I choose the specific origin of my hair extensions?
If you have specific requests about the origin of your hair, please contact us to place your order. We can accommodate most requests!
What products does Miellee offer?
Our online store currently offers clip ins, tape ins, and weaves. You can also order halos, ponytails, buns, bangs, closures, wigs and men's units by special request.
How do I know which product to select for myself?
The type of extensions you use should reflect the lifestyle you lead and the amount of time you want to spend maintaining your hair. As a general rule, if you are looking for the quickest least committal methods, then you should consider clip in extensions, a halo extension or a wig which you put on yourself daily. If you're looking for semi-permanent extensions, then you might consider weave extensions or tape in extensions, which you will require the help of a professional, and you can maintain for weeks per installation.
How do I best match my color?
We suggest that you start by consulting our color chart. With numerous colors to choose from, you have plenty of options for your new hair extensions. If you don't see the exact color that you need featured in our shop, you can submit a custom request for any color of your choosing.
What if my tips & roots are different colors?
We suggest that you choose the color that most closely matches the tips of your hair because this is the portion of your hair that will need to blend in with the extensions.
What if I don't see the exact color I need?
Miellee Hair Extensions are made-to-order and this allows us to create any style imaginable. If you don't see exactly what you need posted online, you can submit a custom order request here. You can also choose from a closely matching color, and include special instructions with your order. Special instructions can be noted in the comment box at checkout.
Do you offer a color matching service?
Yes! If you are having trouble determining which color most closely matches the tips of your hair, please email email@example.com a current picture of your hair and we will gladly make a recommendation for you. The best way to ensure a perfect match is to send pictures of your hair in outdoor light as well as indoor light.
Why is it so important to view hair color under natural light?
Neutral sunlight is the universal measure for hair color. This is a well known and accepted fact within the hair industry (google it and you will find tons of literature about this from the world's most reputable hair professionals). Lighting and photography settings have a huge affect on the way hair color appears. This is why all of our product photos are taken outdoors in neutral sunglight with no filters or edits. Our method shows you the true color of the hair whereas hair extensions photographed indoors, under artificial lights, or under extreme or dim sunlight will appear distorted with exaggerated tones. If you have questions about the color of extensions, please message us for a free consultation!
How do I best match my hair texture?
As a general rule, pick the hair texture that most closely matches your natural hair. A close match will require less styling time on your part.
Are all of the textures natural ?
Yes! Our textures are completely natural and organic, just as they grew on the donor's head.
What if my hair is naturally curly but I mostly wear it straight?
We recommend that you purchase the extensions in the texture that you wear the most. For example if you are naturally curly-haired, but you wear your hair mostly straight, then you should get the extensions in a straight texture since that is your normal everyday hairstyle.
Will the extensions maintain their natural textures over time ?
Yes, our hair textures are organic and will retain their form even after they are washed and styled.
Can I style my extensions?
Yes, absolutely! Just remember to always use a heat protectant and try to use heat tools in moderation.
Will the wavy and curly extensions look the same every time I order them?
Please allow for some slight variation in the hair textures. Each set of extensions comes from a different human being and no two humans have the exact same hair, therefore the amount of wave or curl will vary from set to set. If you have specific requests for your extensions, please leave a note in the box at checkout or contact email@example.com to process your order.
What lengths does Miellee offer?
Miellee Hair Extensions are currently available online in lengths 14 to 26 inch online and 8 to 30 inch by custom request.
How do I decide which length to order for myself?
The length of your extensions is truly a personal choice. Please consult our length chart. As a general rule, the more length you're adding with hair extensions, the more hair you'll need in order to make it blend and look totally natural.
How do I create my desired level of volume?
You can control the volume of your hairstyle by choosing the appropriate amount of hair for your extensions. As a general rule, the more length you're adding with the extensions, the more weight/quantity you'll need in order to make it look natural. Consult our volume chart for guidance.
What weight & quantity options does Miellee offer?
Clip in extensions are available in 4 weight options - you can choose 120g, 170g, 220g and 270g for your set.
Tape in extensions come in sets of 20, 40, 60 or 80 pieces. Each individual piece is 1.5 inches wide.

Tape Ins : 20-40pcs

Are Miellee Hair Extensions manufactured by a factory?
Nope! Miellee Hair Extensions are hand-made and individually colored in house. Our hands-on process allows us to create the most natural looking hair extensions that blend seamlessly into your hair.
What is the advantage of purchasing custom-made extensions?
There are countless advantages to purchasing custom-made extensions rather than mass producted factory-manufactured hair extensions. For one, the quality of the hair is unmatched. We hand select each set of hair to best suit our needs, and we take every measure to create natural looking colors, as if you had your hair professionally colored at a salon. Due to our hands-on manufacturing process, we are able to customize each set of extensions per the client's specifications.
Will my extensions look EXACTLY like the listing photos?
The listing photos are a true representation of our products, however, please allow for slight differences in the exact construct, color and texture of each set. Miellee Hair Extensions are custom made using real authentic natural human hair, therefore every item sold on our website is unique and one of a kind. Since no two human beings have exactly identical hair, no two sets of extensions will ever be exactly identical either. If you would like to see additional photos of our products, colors or textures prior to ordering, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will be happy to consult with you and help you choose your best match!
Can I customize my extensions?
Yes! Our extensions are custom made, meaning that you can include instructions with your order and we will customize your extensions accordingly. Simply type your custom instructions in the box at checkout or email instructions and relevant photos to email@example.com along with your order number. If no instructions are included with your order, we will ship your extensions as shown & described in this listing.

If we have any questions or need to follow up about your instructions, we will contact you by email to confirm the details before customizing your extensions.

If you need a product, color, texture, length or quantity option that you don't see posted online, you are welcome to submit a special request for the extensions of your choice at no extra charge.

However, If you find that you need a different product, color, texture, you always have the option to return your extensions for exchange or store credit.

In order to request a return, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com within the qualifying exchange period.

Please note that worn or damaged merchandise will not be exchanged. Items must be shipped back unworn with all tags still attached.
How often should I wash my hair extensions?
For the optimal health of your hair, we recommend that you wash your extensions and your natural hair as little as possible. Excessive washing can cause human hair to feel dry and brittle. When you do wash the extensions, be sure to lather them gently in a downward motion. Shampoo and condition the hair in cold water using nutrient-rich and color-safe products. Do not go to bed with damp hair. Allow the hair to air dry or in emergency cases use a blowdyer on a low heat setting.
Can I cut my hair extensions?
Yes, for the most natural looking results, it is advisable that you cut the extensions into your hairstyle. If your hair is very layered, you may need to layer the extensions and use a numbering system to remember their placement. This will help the extensions blend perfectly into your hair and will significantly reduce the time needed to style your extensions. We recommend that you get the extensions cut professionally by a hairstylist who is experienced working with extensions.
Will my extensions need to be retouched?
Depending on your hair care routine and the specific details of your extensions, there are instances where the color of your extensions may need to be touched up. This is especially true of bright colors or high contrast styles. If you find that your color needs a retouch, contact us. We offer complementary retouch services for all of our extensions.
Can I color my hair extensions myself?
Our Remy Hair can be colored darker and toned as needed. Our Virgin Hair can be colored, toned, bleached and chemically processed. If you or your stylist choose to perform any altering process of any kind on the hair extensions, including but not limited to bleaching, lightening, coloring or toning the hair, please note that you are doing so at your own risk and you are accepting full responsibility for the results. View the full policy on alterations here. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.
Can I curl, straighten & style my extensions?
Yes, you may style your extensions as needed. Just keep in mind that Miellee Hair Extensions are completely natural and will respond to styling habits and use of heat just as the hair attached on your head would respond. As such, we recommend that you only style with heat tools when absolutely necessary. Excessive use of blowdryers, curling irons or smoothing irons can affect the feel and behavior of any hair extensions, even the highest quality ones. Remember to brush the hair regularly with a vent brush and to apply essential oils to the hair daily.
Can I re-use my extensions?
Yes. Our products have no expiration date. Many clients tend to re-use our extensions for months and even years, depending on their exact lifestyle and hair care routine. Follow the instructions detailed above for optimal results. Keep in mind that each set of extensions is unique and you may need to adjust your hair care routine depending on your particular set of extensions. Questions? Email email@example.com
How long will my extensions last?
Most of our clients tend to use and re-use extensions for months and even years. Each client is different and the life cycle of the extensions will vary depending on the person's exact lifestyle, hair care routine, and specific set of extensions. Need help or advice about your particular set of extensions? Just send us a quick message : email@example.com.

For the third consecutive season, we are proud to introduce the Deadspin Baseball Season Previews. Yes, baseball is awfully close now; it's spring training, after all.
Every weekday until the start of the season, a different writer will preview his/her team. We asked a gaggle of writers, from the Web, from print, from books, to tell us, in as many or as little words as they need, Where Their Team Stands. This is not meant to be factual, or dispassionate, or even logical: We just asked them to riff on why they love their team so much, or what their team means to them, or whatever.
Today: The Colorado Rockies. Your author is Mark T.R. Donohue.
Mark T.R. Donohue is a freelance writer, serial blogger, and member in good standing of the Baseball Toaster cartel. He lives in Boulder, Col. His words are after the jump.
How do you top 2007, if you're the Colorado Rockies? It can't be done! At the end of the season last year, Colorado ran off an utterly ludicrous fourteen wins in fifteen games, including a thirteen-inning 9-8 win over the Padres in a one-game wild card tiebreaker, to make the playoffs for the first time since the strike-shortened 1995 season and only the second time ever. The otherworldly hot streak continued through the National League playoffs, in which Colorado dropped nary a game to Philadelphia nor Arizona, and stopped only when the Rockies met reality — and a much, much better team — on a grand stage in the franchise's first World Series appearance. That didn't go as well.
The good news for 2008 is that the Rockies weren't a .500 team that got lucky last year. Up until mid-September they had gotten some bad breaks; we few true believers chose to view their white-hot finish as an overdue correction. Even supposing that the
Rockies' opponents down the stretch were laying over for them and the stats don't mean what they think we do, the Rockies' pitching rotation turned over 60% of its players in quick succession shortly after the All-Star break. Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales, the two call-ups that made up the bulk of those innings lost due to injuries to Rodrigo Lopez, Jason Hirsh and Aaron Cook, still have less than a year of major-league experience between them. They should be better this year.
Everyone but second baseman Kazuo Matsui returns to a lineup that's long on pre-peak players; second-year shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is poised to bring his hitting numbers up to the level of his already unparalleled defense. The one nasty storm cloud on the Rockies' horizon, the impending free agency of outfielder and offensive linchpin Matt Holliday, has been at the very least pushed further away by the two-year deal Holliday signed this winter.
Besides Holliday, there are hardly any key Rockies players that won't be around for at least three more seasons, including Tulowitzki, ace Jeff Francis, closer Manny Corpas and outfielder Brad Hawpe. One of the few positions that GM Dan O'Dowd hasn't found a solution for in the draft is catcher; the Rockies caught a break when the Mets backed away from a deal they'd worked out with incumbent Colorado catcher Yorvit Torrealba. O'Dowd managed to get Torrealba back at the right price; that was the highlight of a very quiet offseason that also brought in some bullpen help (Luis Vizcaino, Jose Capellan), a few guys to compete for the second base job (Matt Kata and Marcus Giles, though rookie Jayson Nix will get some looks too), and a bunch of veteran starters to provide insurance for the boatload of injuries the oxygen-deprived Rockies rotation seems to suffer every year (including but not limited to Josh Towers, Kip Wells and Victor Zambrano).
Colorado is probably going to be a stronger team than they were last season, and yet they will likely win fewer games. Los Angeles and Arizona have improved, and the Rockies more than likely won't have the same luck they had in interleague play '07 (10-8, the only team in the NL with double-digit wins and the only one more than a game over .500). The hope here is that even if a whole season hanging around in contention ends in disappointment, the Rockies and the city of Denver get the one thing they didn't get last year — being taken seriously. The magical September '07 run did a lot to shake Denver out of the indifferent attitude it's had towards baseball and the Rockies since the late 90's, but it takes more than one postseason to build a baseball fan. Baseball is about the long haul and until fans in the mountains are checking box scores with the same vigilance in May as they were last September, the Colorado Rockies remain just another ill-justified expansion team with ugly uniform colors.

Traveling to and from the city is simple and convenient with an international airport located less than three miles from downtown proper.
San Diego is home to many legendary attractions like the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Legoland California, Balboa Park, the Museum of Man, the Natural History Museum, and the Maritime Museum, which makes San Diego event planning all the more inviting. The city is approximately 20-minutes driving distance from La Jolla, which has been referred to as the jewel of San Diego, due to its charming down-to-earth atmosphere that combines the excitement of Southern California with the look and feel of a Southern European resort town. The Birch Aquarium, which contains the largest oceanographic display in the United States, is also located in La Jolla.
It's also terribly easy to incorporate food into San Diego event planning. San Diego offers delicious cuisine coupled with magnificent waterfront meeting spaces, countryside settings, mountain vistas and a dynamic downtown. The city's perfect temperature allows for many year-round outdoor dining opportunities including exclusive dinners aboard chartered yachts, picnics in the park, wine and cheese tasting on the beach, and many more. Popular regional cuisine is comprised of California, Pacific Rim, Elegant Continental, Contemporary French, and Authentic Mexican and Southwestern dishes. For a sophisticated dining experience with modern aesthetic appeal, try George's California Modern on Prospect Street in San Diego. Here, executive chef, Trey Foshee, has created a diverse menu that celebrates the fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients that characterize the San Diego restaurant scene.
The arts thrive in this culturally rich metropolis. The San Diego Opera performs regularly at Civic Center Plaza, ranked by Opera America as one of the top ten opera companies in the United States. Approximately fifteen musicals and plays are performed at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park every year. The California Center for the Arts serves as Northeastern San Diego's premier performing arts center with a 400-seat auditorium. Little Italy is the pulse of the city's Art & Design District. Check out "Kettener Nig" a unique event that invites visitors to gallery hop and celebrate the finest in art, urban living, home furnishings and accessories that San Diego has to offer. Other exciting annual events and festivals include Comic-Con, the Del mar Fair, and the Street Scene Music Festival. Sunny and stylish San Diego is truly a city with something for everyone.
Named for the Spanish Catholic Saint, St. Didacus, in 1602, San Diego is a magnificent waterside city with a showcase of dazzling skyscrapers, glitzy modern loft developments, five-star hotels, and numerous exquisite cafes, restaurants, and boutiques. Scenic views lurk around every corner-hills covered in blossoming junipers, golden stalks of pampas grass and towering palm trees enamor all who visit this vibrant metropolis. San Diego is the second largest city in California and the seventh largest city in the United States with more than 1.3 million people residing within its borders totaling 4,200 square miles.
San Diego is made up of 18 enchanting neighborhoods and communities including the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, Coronado, La Jolla, La Mesa and Carlsbad just to name a few. While each of these neighborhoods falls under the umbrella of San Diego, each community has a unique identity, character, and geography.
The city's terrain is varied with gentle foothills to mile-high mountains and 600,000-acre Anza Borrego Desert State Park to lush wine country. Nature is San Diego's backyard - offering outdoor enthusiast the opportunity to hike, camp, fish, and explore the wildlife of the great outdoors. With a warm Mediterranean climate and more than 70 miles of Pacific coastline, San Diego also supports many water sports year-round such as surfing, boating, sailing and swimming.
Horton Plaza, a monumental architectural development built in the 1970's, is the heart of the city's lively downtown; trendy stores, modern restaurants and colorful people line the plaza's streets seven days a week. Breathtaking views of the Bay can be found by heading due west of the city to Embarcadero or jumping aboard a harbor cruise. The historic buildings of Old Town include a blacksmith shop, Seeley Stables, and the oldest schoolhouse in San Diego which all help visitors take a step back in time. The streets of the 16 ½ -block historic Gaslamp Quarter are overflowing with turn-of-the-century Victorian architecture. Seaport Village offers 14-acres of shops and restaurants to choose from. With so many options, it is easy to see why exploring San Diego is an endless adventure.
San Diego is a technology powerhouse with an economy that is largely supported by biotechnology, electronics manufacturing, defense and space manufacturing, software development, and telecommunications. It is home to one of the largest players in the telecommunications industry, Qualcomm. The environmental, transportation, and international trade industries also play a significant role in San Diego's economy. In fact, one-third of the top 20 environmental design firms in the US are located in San Diego; more than 1,000 transportation companies call San Diego home; and, there are more than 600 internationally-based companies here.
All average costs based on U.S. Government Per Diem rates as published by the U.S. General Services Administration.
San Diego is known for its delightfully sunny and warm weather with daily temperatures averaging around 60°F to 70°F. The city receives less rainfall than any other part of the west coast. In fact, it rains less than 12 inches a year, resulting in a relatively arid environment.
Due to the varied topography of the land, visitors have the unique opportunity to experience coastal, mountain, and desert climates with temperatures varying as much as 10°F within a short drive. During the months of May and June, commonly known as "May Gray" and "June Gloom," heavy cloud cover keeps the air cool and damp on the coast, while 5 to 15 miles inland clouds dissipate yielding to sunshine and blue skies.
Low humidity is ideal for year-round sightseeing and outdoor adventure. Early spring brings an abundance of vibrant wildflowers that transform the city's mountainsides and deserts. Autumn leaves umbrella the city creating a tremendous display of fall color. The majority of the city's limited rainfall occurs during the months of January and February, but showers typically last for only a few hours or for one to two days at most. There is virtually no bad time of year to visit San Diego.
San Diego Convention Center
Located in the Marina district at the heart of downtown, this San Diego meeting facility offers wonderful panoramic views of the city and the bay. Designed by architect, Arthur Erickson, it spans an impressive 2.6 million square feet, making it the largest convention facility in North America. Numerous notable conventions are hosted at the San Diego Convention Center, including the American Psychology Convention, the Boat Show, and the International Auto Show; however, Comic Con is perhaps the most well-known, drawing more than 100,000 people a year.
The Convention Center boasts 615,701 square feet of exhibit space; 204,114 square feet of meeting space; and, 284,494 square feet of pre-function, lobby and registration space. Sails Pavilion, the building's 90,000 square foot architectural centerpiece, has been drastically improved with an industry standard trade show floor, state-of-the-art lighting and a new cooling and heating system. Sails Pavilion is topped with a Teflon-coated fiberglass roof designed to look like sails, reflecting San Diego's maritime history and advertising the center's waterfront location.
Within walking distance to the city's major attractions such as Gaslamp Quarter, Horton Plaza, Petco Park, and Seaport Village, the San Diego Convention Center is California's premier location for meetings, events, and trade shows. Convenience is an understatement as a five-minute shuttle ride from the airport brings visitors straight to the Convention Center's doors. There are also 7,500 first-class hotel rooms to choose from within one mile of the Convention Center.
A professional Convention Services team is available to assist with all the details of the planning process including coordinating and conducting hotel and meeting space site visits; suggesting entertainment and area activities; providing vendor referrals; and, even assisting in marketing efforts. The Housing Services staff takes away the headache of room-block management and the Restaurant and Concierge Services team is available to arrange dining, private parties and special events. The San Diego Convention Center is equipped with all the essentials to ensure the success of your next event.

San Diego International Airport (SAN)
Approximate taxi fare: $18 USD
The San Diego International Airport, locally referred to as Lindbergh Field, is the second busiest single-runway commercial airport in the world. The airport and its affiliates contribute nearly $10 billion to the regional economy per year. Approximately 40,000 passengers travel through the airport every day, totaling more than 17 million passengers in a year. Flying into San Diego is an incredible experience with awesome views of skyscrapers, Petco Park—home of San Diego Padres, and the Coronado Bridge to the east and Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo to the west.
Situated on 661 acres of land and located three miles northwest of downtown San Diego, San Diego International Airport is served by 22 major airlines offering flights to 55 destinations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The San Diego Airport is proud to have become the first commercial airport in the United States to impose restrictions on late night and early morning departures; planes are not allowed to take-off between the hours of 11:30 pm and 6:30 am. Flights operate out of three terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the Commuter Terminal. Almost all of the airport's flights arrive and depart from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2; shuttle service is provided between terminals.
British Airways was the last airline to provide intercontinental service with a San Diego-London Heathrow flight; however, this route was cancelled in 2003 due to weight penalties imposed by the city's varied terrain, making long haul international service uneconomical. Although the number of international travelers continues to steadily increase, the air's limited runway capacity cuts down on the number of international flights it can accommodate. American Eagle and United Express offer frequent non-stop flights from San Diego to Los Angeles International Airport, where most of the area's international flights arrive and depart; ground shuttle service is also available.
Airline carriers serving San Diego International Airport
The Metropolitan Transit System's Flyer Route No. 992 provides transportation to and from the airport with stops at each terminal. The commute lasts about 10-minutes each way and offers connections to Trolley, Coaster and Amtrak stations. All metro buses are wheelchair accessible.
Red bus offers transportation between Airport terminals free of charge; all buses are wheelchair-accessible. Buses run frequently with a maximum wait of ten minutes between shuttles. Buses can be boarded from designated curbside stops at all three airport terminals. Additional information is available from Lindbergh Parking, Inc. at 619-291-1508.
A variety of cars can be rented at the San Diego International Airport. Car rental reservation boards can be found near Terminals 1 and 2 baggage claim areas. Shuttle service to the various off-site rental car locations is provided at the Transportation Plaza. San Diego interstates can be somewhat tricky so if you need to rent a car, be sure to study the road maps before venturing into the city.
Operated by off-premises companies, shuttles are a painless and popular means of transportation. Shuttle service can be arranged curbside at the Commuter Terminal, as well as at Transportation Plazas located across from Terminals 1 and 2.
Numerous taxi companies provide service to and from the San Diego International Airport. Look for signs leading to the Transportation Plazas to grab a cab-airport transportation coordinators will be available to assist you.
Amtrak and Coaster provide commuter train service connecting San Diego to Los Angeles, Orange County, and North County; stops include Old Town, Sorrento Valley, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside. Amtrak offers twelve round trips seven days a week, year-round. The Coaster operates six days a week with no service on Sundays and National U.S. holidays.
Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and the Coaster at the Santa Fe Depot train station provide service to and from San Diego International Airport by use of the Metropolitan Transit System. Trains depart every 10 minutes between the hours of 5:00 am and 12:50 am.
Tickets may be purchased at Amtrak stations. "Rail 2 Rail" tickets are available for passengers who desire to use both systems, but beware—certain restrictions apply. Additional information on train schedules and fares can be gathered by calling 1-800-COASTER (1-800-262-7837). For questions specifically regarding Amtrak service in the San Diego area, call 1-800-USA-RAIL or visit the Santa Fe Depot train station.
The San Diego Trolley provides transportation to all major San Diego tourist attractions and serves as a link between the city's numerous neighborhoods. Fares are based upon distance and range in price from approximately $1 to $3 each way. Roundtrip tickets are available for $1.25 within San D's Center City area as long as travel takes place within two-hours from the time of ticket purchase. Tickets can be purchase at vendomats from any of the trolley stations dispersed throughout the city.
Metro bus provides local San Diego bus service with transportation also available in other areas of San Diego County, as well as many of the neighboring areas outside San Diego County. Most bus routes cost $2.25, but beware; exact change is required. The Flyer is an express bus which runs between the San Diego airport and downtown. Fares increase on the express bus so be sure to carry a little extra cash.
Request a transfer when you board the bus. When you board the second bus, give the transfer you received to the driver. If the fare is equal to the standard fee, there should be no additional charge for the transfer. If the second bus fare is more, deposit the difference in fare into the box at the front of the bus. The San Diego Trolley and Coaster also accept bus transfers. Tickets can be purchased at Trolley or Coaster station vending machines. You will often be asked for both the transfer and the ticket so be sure to hold onto these valuable slips of paper.
All buses are equipped with bicycle racks and wheelchair lifts. There are no additional fees for bicycles.
Taxi service is readily available throughout San Diego and its surrounding areas. When traveling from the airport, bus station, train station or cruise ship terminal, it is not necessary to call a taxi. Taxis park in these areas and are waiting for passengers upon their arrival.
The Coronado Ferry is a passenger ferry, connecting San Diego Bay's Broadway Pier and the Coronado Ferry Landing. Ferries depart Broadway Pier every hour on the hour from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. A 10:00 pm ferry is also available on Friday and Saturday only. The ferry departs the Coronado Ferry Landing every hour on the half hour from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm, with a 10:30 pm ferry offered on Friday and Saturday only. A one-way trip, about ten minutes in length, cost $2.75 per person. Bicycles are permitted for an additional 50 cents each way.

when you join the military, there is a saying " there's the right way, the wrong way and the army/navy,etc way " the military has changed over the last several decades, years ago if you were a criminal or had issues in civilian life you went into the military ( some of those folks are still in there ) also if you go on active gun toting duty, should you encounter something that would effect your health, the governemnt turns a blind eye to your troubles, the VA is worthless anymore and you literally have to hire a lawyer to get your benefits which you ( in theory ) are entitled to, also too should something go wrong and you are housed on base, you have no civilian rights, you must deal with the JAG and those folks are land sharks and tear your heart out while your looking at them ( that is how it is here in the states , I would venture the other countries see one get away with it would tend to play copy cat )
do you know what day it is ?
here's a hint .......
isn't life grand, it seems sometime during the course of a few months, i've developed an allergy to Apple Juice of all things, 2 times in the past month that i have drank apple juice i've had to go to the doctor to get treatment - weird i know and like i told my mom and wife, who drank more apple juice as a kid more than me
Used to allergies... Pollen, peanuts, bees... And an mollusk intolerance (but I can eat shrimp and lobster and crap, so it's not a shellfish intolerance).4 Replies
I hate cats and wish i was allergic.. Sadly, i am not and i don't have a say in getting rid of mine...
Jeeze - cat haters. I'm allergic to pets to, but I find you get accustomed to your own.
It's funny how some people are really against cats. I guess because they're not a pack animal they aren't inherantly social, but mine always have been.
And they're smarter than they're given credit for. When I was in high school our cat at the time taught himself to use the toilet, which is bizarre enough that people always assume I'm lying. And my current cats are both talented in their own ways. One learned how to open a door via the handle - he's jump on the banister and press down on it (it's one of those L-shaped ones). And my other younger one figured out how to open closets.
crwpitman, you eat crap ? man your breath must be awful !!! LOL
( oh wait did you mean crab ? , there's a joke there too but i'll let it pass )
So I went to McDonalds this morning. It was pretty bizarre... It's one of those two lane ordering systems. I pulled into one and ordered an egg and sausage biscuit, to which the employee told me no longer exists. I expressed my shock and sadness to that, and asked for a McMuffin instead. Silence. Car pulls up behind. I start asking "Hello", a couple cars order and pass in the other lane after getting their orders taken. Finally I start laying on the horn as I don't know where my cashier went.
"Oh hello sir! I thought you were cancelling your order. What do you want?" I gave a bit of attitude and told her I wanted a McMuffin like I said before when she disappeared.
Then, as I'm waiting to pay, the guy behind me - impatient from waiting for me - cuts off a huge black Dodge Ram with ugly chrome rims who was leaving the other order lane and the driver goes BALLISTIC. Screaming/swearing a blue streak from is truck, waving his hands around like a crazy person for a good 30 seconds. The guy behind me gets out of his car and they have a yelling match behind me.
Quite an angry trip to McDonalds. Got my McMuffin though and it was delicious, although the cashier was a bit of b***h when I got to the window because I gave her attitude.4 Replies
Al, I watched Into Darkness in 3D on an IMAX screen. It was brilliant!3 Replies
Quite the surprise in the middle - there was never any mention of him (I don't want to give away who) in anything I'd seen about the movie.
I knew he'd be in it. But, yeah...it's hard to talk to someone that hasn't seen it without ruining it for them.
it just struck me that they should have corrected what they did in the 1st film, not go on this tangent, now it's just going to be more of the same, ashame, even wrote bray gray of paramount voicing my displeasure, i'll let you know if they respond
Tortorella got chucked: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=424238
Just found out that the massive car graveyard in Wetaskiwin, Alberta is no longer. :(
I wanted to visit it, but looking at the satellite photos on google maps, they're all gone.1 Reply

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Billie Watts said she was tempted but couldn't bring herself to keep $97,000 she said she found in a Cracker Barrel restroom. The 75-year-old Murfreesboro woman told The Daily News Journal that she discovered the money inside a tapestry bag hanging from a hook on a stall door last Thursday.
But five days later, the money and its anonymous owner remain something of a mystery in the community, where police said they have no report of the find.
While digging through the bag to figure out its owner, Watts said she found a bundle of neatly stacked bills.
Watts said she and her husband took the money home, but later called the restaurant back and asked if there was a lost-and-found department. She was told yes, and left her number.
A woman called about 15 minutes later and verified she was the owner by identifying pictures left in the bag. Watts returned the bag to the owner, whom she described as an elderly woman, but said she does not have the woman's last name or phone number.
Watts said the woman told her that the money came from selling her home and her belongings and that she was going to start a new life in Florida with her son. Watts said the woman offered to pay her $1,000, but Watts refused it.
A manager of the Cracker Barrel restaurant, Bill Shupp, said no employees actually saw the money or the elderly owner.

Don't throw away that PSP just yet! Even though the PS Vita is coming out in February, Atlus is prepared to rock the Previous Sony Portable with Norse-flavored strategy RPG Gungnir, coming June 12 to retail and the PlayStation Network. Oh wait, it'll be on PSN? Go ahead and throw out your PSP.
From the makers of Riviera, Yggdra Union, and Knights in the Nightmare comes Gungnir, another impossible-to-pronounce game from the publisher that refuses to modify names for the sake of marketing. Why I bet not even Atlus's own Aram Jabbari knows how to pronounce it, and I wouldn't believe him if he said he did. At least they trimmed it down from the Japanese title, Gungnir: Inferno of the Demon Lance and the War of Heroes.
For those of you up on your Norse mythology, Gungnir is the name of Odin's spear, a weapon that falls from the sky and winds up in the possession of freedom fighters from the Resistance, struggling to free their country from some sort of oppression. Armed with a weapon capable of reshaping worlds, I'd say they're going to succeed.
Promising a deep strategic combat system with plenty of numbers to keep your mind busy, Gungnir sounds like the perfect way to end your relationship with the PSP, especially if you bought it just to play the sort of wacky shit Atlus likes to bring over from Japan.

I am taking a break from making hair bows. I've been making them for 3 years. I enjoy it a lot, but there are a couple of factors I am taking into consideration.
First, a new law requiring lead testing on all products for children ages 13 and under is making it impossible for me to continue once it goes into effect on the 10th of Feb. There has been some work in Washington to change this law to provide an exemption for home crafters as it did for resale shops, garage sales, etc. So, I am watching what is happening there.
Secondly, there is so much going on in our lives right now that I just need to let something go. So, for the time being, it is the hair bow making.
If the exemption should come through, I'll re-examine where I am with this, but for the time being, I just want to thank all of you who have been my customers these past three years. I've really enjoyed getting to know you all. You've been wonderful!

I cannot begin to understand all that has been happening in my life this past week. God has been working big time, through so many people, books, music, movies, blogs, just life in general and I'm struggling to process it all.
I've been in my Bible a lot this month. I'm doing a reading plan to read the whole thing through this year. But I find myself doing several days reading at a time. For the first time in my life, I just cannot seem to get enough of God's word! It's amazing. I admit it started out with my need to finish things once I start them, but now it is just a thirst for the word of God!! I need to thank the amazing ladies in Thursday night Bible study. We are studying Romans. And the study is good. Women genuinely trying to get at what GOD is trying to teach us. We are not making excuses or trying to twist the words that fit more comfortably in our lives, we're just asking the Holy Spirit to talk to us, to teach us.
This past Wednesday, we had a community dinner at church. We do them once a month. Nothing fancy, spaghetti, salad, garlic bread. No charge, just come and meet your neighbors, make new friends,etc. There is no hard sell, no sell at all, just the opportunity for us to serve. The first month we had mainly people from the church. But each month it has grown. This past week we had 80-90 people. People who attend Grace Church, brothers and sisters from other churches in town, old friends, new friends, people new to Norwood. Very cool.
On Thursday, my friend, Erin, had a beautiful baby boy. He is so beautiful And because we are women and couldn't wait anymore, we called her at the hospital and were able to talk to her right after he was born. And we prayed with her. Gotta love cell phones that allow conference calls.
Saturday morning the whole crew went to a Community Breakfast at New Bethel Baptist, also in Norwood. Several of our church people were there and lots of other familiar faces, friends, family in the body of Christ. I couldn't help think, as I was cutting pancakes for the kids, "this is making God smile! His children coming together to break bread."
This was the beginning of my migraine. A stress migraine because even good stress is still stress. So, as I was sitting on the couch, with lots of pain medications, we through in a DVD that I got for $5. Facing the Giants. All of us watched. It was wonderful. The kids liked it so much we watched it again on Sunday evening.
Sunday. Where to start? A former student of Kevin's came to share his testimony. He was an alcoholic, homeless, watched his father die, lost the love of his life, was let go by the rest of his family. But, he found Jesus in a Taco Bell. He was approached by a woman who offered him shelter, took him to church, led him to Jesus. He spoke to us a good 90 minutes. A really good 90 minutes. Using the parable of the prodigal son. Now, if you are not Methodist, this might not seem unusual to you, but a 3 hour service is really unusual. Praise Jesus, almost everyone stayed to here this young man tell us how Jesus delivered him. I can't tell what he said in anyway to give it justice. But I will tell you that after the service, he gathered up our youth and took them into our prayer room and prayed with them for an hour. I don't know what was said behind that closed door, but I know he loved on those kids with all the love that the Holy Spirit poured out on him.
I was blessed to hear even more of the amazing things God has done for him when he braved lunch with Kevin, the three youngest kiddos and I.
And blogs. I love reading blogs. But there was one that really brought tears to my eyes today.
And so tonight, once again my head hurts. Thank you,Jesus, for overwhelming me! Thank you for this headache caused by good stress, not bad. And Lord, please, continue to overwhelm me with You !

My Kids Make Me Laugh!
The girls were in a wedding this weekend. A beautiful, dignified affair....until my girls are there anyway. When I walked into the sanctuary for the rehearsal, the girls were on as only my girls can be. Charis and Ella were acting out a scene from Scooby Doo, Where's My Mummy? Because that is what you do when you have a platform and an audience. They were pretending to swim in sand because Scooby and Shaggy do when they see a mirage. This went on for a while when Risi rolled over on to her back and hollered:

A Beautiful Family Bonding Experience
What is it that just brings your family together? You know, where no one is on the phone, on the computer. No one is fighting. The whole family comes together for some quality time. Those momement are few and far between here. With 5 kids, someone is always talking or doing something!
But the past couple of Sundays, we've had a whole hour of peace. A time when we gather to enjoy the same thing. Are you wondering what our secret is? Okay, because I love you, I'll share it with you. Our local ABC station has started airing reruns of this wholesome, family show:
No nothing brings a family together like watching people try to cross the Big Balls or run the Dreadmill as they duck a huge wrecking ball or swim in a huge vat of foam! Yes, nothing brings a family like laughing at the pain of people dumb enough to actually go on this show!!

A Reminder
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

An Amazing Blessing
Last night, my Bible study took the night off from 'studying' to pray for one of our own. Our dear friend, Linda, has been really sick for a couple of months. She is waiting for a study to open up for her for a new medication. Her immune system is compromised. She runs a fever most of the time. She is exhausted.
When she asked for prayer, we were so blessed! A few of the ladies had to beg off. They were worried because they were sick or had been exposed to germs and didn't want to take the chance of carrying germs to Linda.
We met up at church and piled into Tracy's car. When we got to Linda's, we spent some time meeting her 2 birds, cat, and dog and catching up with each other.
And then we started to pray. All holding hand. Prayers for Linda's physical, mental, and spiritual health. Heart felt prayers from a group of people who love Jesus and love Linda.
Then I read some Bible versus about annoining with oil. Exodus 30:22-25, Hebrews 1:9, and James 5:13-16. Then we laid hands on Linda. We prayed and annointed her with oil. I felt that the Spirit was right there in our midst. Absolutely palpable.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow......

Works for Me Wednesday
I can't even begin to explain the sock situation in our household. 7 pairs of feet. 14 feet. I've struggled with socks since our oldest was born 9 1/2 years ago. It has gotten worse with every child. There are socks everywhere, under beds, in the couch. In toy boxes (?). None of them pairs.
Then, I got an idea. (Shocking!) Whenever anyone takes off socks, they roll them into a sock ball, You know, you put the socks together and fold them in half using one of the socks. The benefits are tremendous. No longer do the kids only find one sock after they take off their socks and then decide to go outside. Because the socks are rolled together! Before, they'd take them off and drop them where ever all over the house. (Honestly, how can one sock be in the upstairs bathroom and the other in the kitchen? How do you do that?)
The socks go into the laundry like this. When I do the laundry, I just separate them and throw them in! Both socks from one pair in the same load of laundry. I didn't know it was possible! So now, when I fold the laundry, socks are matched up!!
I know this may sound silly to others, but I cannot even begin to imagine how much time I have spent hunting socks in my life time!!
I admit, I have just recently implemented this strategy, and it does involve a bit of encouraging (translate: nagging) for the kids to follow through with this, but it has made my mornings much more pleasant!!

Meal Planning!
Last night, Kevin and I looked at our expenditure for 2008. We are doing okay. We figured out we spent less on groceries per month in 2008 than we did in 2007. Pretty good, but I'ld like to cut it waaaaay, back so I am starting to really plan meals. This week's goal is to cook only what I have in the house. No extra grocery trips. I was blessed to find I had a lot of meat in the house. I need a ton of protein because of my surgery. (thank you, Erin! You rock!)
So, here is what the Jobe clan is eating this week.
Lunch: Ramen noodles, crackers, peaches
Dinner: London broil, corn, potatoes
Lunch: Grilled cheese, tomato soup
Dinner: left overs (chicken and noodles, beef and noodles, broccoli)
Lunch: Macaroni & cheese, carrots and dip
Dinner: Pasta bake, corn muffins.
Lunch: Chicken noodle soup, applesauce, crackers
Dinner: Hamburgers, chicken nuggets, fries or veggie
Lunch: PBJ, pretzels, applesauce
Dinner Grilled chicken, rice, and broccoli
Lunch: Leftovers
Dinner: Pizza and salad at church event

Thankful Thursday
I have so much to be thankful for. I seem to always mention my kids and hubby, all of whom I am crazy about! (In case you haven't noticed by now.) I also tend to mention my family, which is wonderful! No in-law issues here. But God has also blessed me with some amazing friends. Amazing women who are always there (or here?) for me. So today, I am going to tell you about an amazing friend of mine. Those of you who know her, see if you can guess who it is.
This woman has been blessed with a servant's heart. She loves to serve at church, her friends, her family, and yes, even total strangers. Sometimes we will meet for breakfast way too early in the morning, just so we can hang out and talk and share. I can tell this gal ANYTHING and know it goes no further. She listens to me rant and rave and doesn't bat an eye when I come back later to apologize. She just accepts me in all of my humaness.
She is an inspiration in her desire to know the Word of God. She is so open about what she doesn't know that it allows the rest of us to be just as honest.
She is a mom of two, caretaker for many more, and yet always has time to talk when I call. She's an amazing listener.
She is a gorgeous lady, inside and out and I am blessed to know her and call her friend!

While there are many shows, actors and actresses who have been nominated before there are plenty of newbies that are coming to the Emmys table. But what makes this year exciting is not only how many nominations certain people and shows have been able to nab but also who will be one step closer to the coveted EGOT--Beyonce. That's right, Queen Bey is up for an Emmy, everyone.
Beyhive aside, there is a lot to be excited for at this year's Jimmy Kimmel-hosted event, but it is difficult to keep up with who is nominated for what, so E! News has broken down the night's numbers.
U.S. & World
Seven: There are this many actors with multiple nominations, including Amy Schumer (4), Aziz Ansari (3), Sarah Paulson (2) and Keegan-Michael Key (3). Laurie Metcalf, Rachel Bloom and Allison Janney also received multiple kudos.
Six: This many primetime Emmy nominations are going to Netflix original series such as "House of Cards," "Master of None," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Making a Murderer." "Chef's Table" is also up for awards on Sunday.
Five: "The Americans," "Ray Donovan" and "He Named Me Malala" all scored five nominations.
Four: Rachel Bloom's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is up for four awards: choreography, music and lyrics, editing and main title theme song.
Three: "Game of Thrones" leads the nominations for the third year in a row. The HBO hit series leads the pack with 23 nominations.
Two: This is the second year that the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host has led the evening's event. Kimmel previously hosted the Emmys in 2012.
One: To find out who scored one nomination, watch the video!

Travis Ganong is an up-and-coming U.S. Ski Team Alpine racer. Ganong hails from Lake Tahoe, Calif. where he grew up skiing at Squaw Valley. In 2012, he finished 12th, a career best, on the famed Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria. When he's not racing, Ganong spends his time free skiing and even did some big mountain skiing this past summer in Alaska for Warren Miller's latest film: Flow State. Ganong will be blogging for OnTheSnow throughout this World Cup season as he prepares for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
It's that time of year again. Delta flight 5187 departs hot and humid Atlanta full of people carrying ski boots and bound for Santiago, Chile! You start hearing the chatter of skiers talking about an upcoming storm, or the inside scoop about how the ski conditions are down in Chile, and you can sense an intense anticipation as everyone is super fired up to go skiing.
Sandals and board shorts are traded in for long pants and boots as everyone is mentally preparing to transition from the height of summer in the US to the dead of winter only a short nine-hour flight away. This is the annual pilgrimage that a lot of skiers make every summer to have the privilege of skiing on winter snow in South America. Every year for a while now, I have been coming down here for some ski training on "winter" snow in preparation for the upcoming Word Cup ski season in the Northern Hemisphere. The "winter" of a U.S. Ski Teamer really runs from August through May; a little longer than your typical winter. But I love it, and I love the travel and meeting all the like-minded people along the way.
This year we arrive in Santiago to a light rain and 45 degree weather which only means one thing: it's snowing up in the mountains. In the midst of a horrible winter in Chile, it seems like we might get lucky—bringing the snow with us on our arrival. We stop at the grocery store in Santiago. We get the fully-loaded eight passenger van fitted with chains and we navigate the 78 switchbacks up into the Andes and arrive in La Parva to find the snow falling! The next morning the storm is gone and the sun is out in all its glorious bluebird powder day grandeur, and we start off our South American ski adventures with a perfect day.

Axe Valley
PUBLISHED: 10:00 15 April 2010 | UPDATED: 18:42 27 April 2010
If you are seeking the best countryside and coastal scenery East Devon has to offer, the Axe Valley is the place to visit.
Approach the valley along the main road through Colyford and you will be rewarded with astounding views.
The picture postcard village of Axmouth, with its thatched buildings, is just a few miles further on across the River Axe from Seaton.
There are lots of opportunities for walking, cycling, or simply taking it easy and having a picnic. There is plenty for all the family to enjoy, from a meal in a friendly pub to visiting places of historic interest or enjoying the wonderful countryside and abundance of wildlife.
The river is a wildlife haven, and the perfect site for a picnic is Coronation Corner, where visitors can relax and take in the scenery.
Despite its size, Axmouth has a fascinating history it was once a busy port and also a centre for smuggling, and today still offers a very safe haven for mooring boats.
The attractive St Michaels Church features examples of work from the Norman to Victorian eras, including 15th century paintings of Christ and St Peter depicted on two Norman pillars.
There are some excellent pubs too, offering fine home-cooked food in a warm friendly atmosphere, with alfresco facilities during the summer months.
There are lots of nearby villages well worth exploring, such as Combpyne, a tiny village featuring a church with ancient wall paintings, and a medieval manor house overlooking the village pond.
Musbury church is home to a unique 17th century tomb of the Drake family, and Whitford boasts a fine example of a Devon longhouse, besides being the perfect place to stop and have a picnic.
There are many more places to visit, and the TIC at Seaton has a wide range of leaflets and brochures available including the Devons Axe Valley 2004 guide .
The area is a magnet for wildlife, so take your binoculars to get a really close look, and dont forget your camera. You can spot everything from kingfishers, cormorants and herons to a wide variety of ducks and waders.
Seaton TIC can give you lots of information on the whole area, including where to stay, where to go and where to eat.

A robber at Fifth Third Bank indicated the presence of a bomb Monday, leading police to evacuate nearby businesses and order a lockdown at nearby Venice High School and Venice Elementary School.
Shortly after 10 a.m., police responded to an armed robbery at the bank at 273 S. Tamiami Trail. Neighboring businesses, including the Herald-Tribune and the Clock Restaurant, were evacuated.
Officers blocked Tamiami Trail and put two nearby schools on lockdown for safety while searching for a suspect.
An automated phone call went out to parents of students at Venice Elementary and Venice High School to inform them of the situation at about 10:50 a.m.
The suspect was described as a white male, in his 60s, wearing a wide-brim hat. He made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. He did not show a weapon.
Venice Police spokesman Capt. Thomas McNulty said the bank has surveillance photos of the suspect that it shared with police.
A note on the front door of the bank stated that it closed at 2 p.m. Monday but would be open regular hours Tuesday.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call police at (941) 486-2444.
Bank robberies are rare in Venice.
"Let's hope it's a good long time before we have another," McNulty said.
EARLIER: Venice police responded to an armed robbery at Fifth Third Bank, 273 S. Tamiami Trail, at 10:04 a.m. today.
The robber apparently indicated the presence of a bomb, leading police to evacuate nearby businesses and to order a lockdown at Venice High School and Venice Elementary School, which are also close.
The police have encouraged anyone with information about the incident to call 486-2444.
EARLIER: Lockdowns at Venice Elementary and Venice High School have been lifted and school operations have returned to normal. The two schools were placed on lockdown Monday morning while Venice police investigated a bomb threat that was directed at Fifth Third Bank at U.S. 41 Business and Milan Avenue.
Police also blocked the intersection and directed traffic away from the site.
As police searched for a bank robbery suspect today in Venice, two nearby schools were put on lockdown mode for safety, Sarasota County school district spokesman Scott Ferguson said.
A automated phone call went out to parents at Venice Elementary and Venice High School to inform them of the situation at about 10:50 a.m.
"All students are safe during the lockdown but movement on campus is limited. Please do not come to school to pick up your students. We are monitoring the situation and will send another message when the schools resume normal operation," the message said.
A Venice Police dispatcher said the police department was busy and no one was available for comment Monday morning.
Ferguson said the district plans to send out a second message after the suspect is apprehended and the schools are back to normal.

Home :: Fragrance Oils :: Fragrances: D-F ::
Let's discuss IFRA (International Fragrance Association) and what that means for you...
From their website: The IFRA Standards form the basis for the globally accepted and recognized risk management system for the safe use of fragrance ingredients and are part of the IFRA Code of Practice. This is the self-regulating system of the industry, based on risk assessments carried out by an independent Expert Panel.
The Expert Panel is made up of renowned independent experts from the fields such as dermatology, toxicology, pathology and environmental sciences. Their role is to evaluate the data on a fragrance ingredient to see if it supports the current use level, to make sure that there is no risk for the consumer. In cases where the safety assessment does not support the current use, the Panel instructs IFRA to issue a Standard either restricting or banning a material.
We have IFRA on all fragrance oils and flavor oils on our website. Click on the product name and below the description you'll see a set of tabs. IFRA is one of those tabs. You can click on that to see the *max* levels allowed for specific applications.
What do the max levels mean? Let's use Almond Paradise as an example. The IFRA guidelines on this state that there are no restrictions for soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc. So does that mean you can use 100% in your product? No. That would mean your product consists of straight fragrance oil.
The IFRA states the *max* that can be used, not the recommended amount. It is the responsibility of the maker to do their research to see what the recommended usage rate of fragrance oil for their particular recipe is.
For soap, as a general rule of thumb you will use up to 5% of fragrance oil in Cold Process (CP) soap and up to 3% in Melt and Pour (M&P) soap.
So if you see a fragrance oil and the IFRA says 23% for soap, don't use 23%. IFRA is important when it comes to lower numbers. There are a few fragrance oils that have max usage rates that are less than the percentages shown above. In that case, you can only use the max shown for the oil.

Intel Aims At China With New LTE Cat 6 Solution, Mobile SoC
Speaking at the Intel Developer Forum in Shenzhen, China, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich outlined the company's plans to collaborate with the local technology ecosystem and introduced Intel's 2014 LTE platform and the SoFIA SoC for mobiles.
During his keynote, Krzanich announced the establishment of an Intel Smart Device Innovation Center in Shenzhen and a US$100 million Intel Capital China Smart Device Innovation Fund.
Intel's CEO also detailed several new products and technologies the company will begin offering this year, including Intel Edison, a product-ready, general-purpose computing platform first imagined in the company's research labs in China. He also announced availability of the Intel Gateway Solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) based on Intel Quark and Atom processors, and demonstrated for the first time SoFIA, Intel's first integrated mobile SoC platform for entry-level smartphones and tablets.
"The China technology ecosystem will be instrumental in the transformation of computing," said Krzanich. "To help drive global innovation, Intel will stay focused on delivering leadership products and technologies that not only allow our partners to rapidly innovate, but also deliver on the promise that 'if it computes, it does it best with Intel' - from the edge device to the cloud, and everything in between."
Intel will establish the Intel Smart Device Innovation Center in Shenzhen to accelerate the delivery of Intel technology-based devices to the China market and beyond. The center will expand Intel's work beyond tablets and provide local OEMs, ODMs, and software developers with access to Intel technology platforms and enabling support, including master reference designs for turnkey solutions, development tools, supply chain sourcing, quality management and customer support - acting as a bridge between product conception and commercial deployment.
As 4G LTE service expands in China, Intel sees growth opotunities for its LTE chipsets. Intel's 2014 LTE platform, the Intel XMM 7260, meets the five-mode requirement of China Mobile today, including support for TD-LTE, and TD-SCDMA protocols required in China. Intel is engaged in China for certification of the XMM 7260, paving the way for commercial availability in the second half of 2014 for performance and mainstream device market segments. Krzanich demonstrated the Intel XMM 7260 by conducting the first public, live call using China Mobile's TD-LTE network.
Intel is also developing its SoFIA family of integrated mobile SoCs for entry-level smartphones and tablets. Krzanich demonstrated the family's first silicon, booting up the new integrated Intel Atom platform just months after adding the product to its ultra-mobile roadmap. Intel's SoFIA 3G platform is on track to ship to OEMs in the fourth-quarter of 2014.
Krzanich also said that Intel is on track to ship 40 million tablets this year, and showcased a variety of designs developed in China by OEMs and ODMs.
In addition, Krzanich announced availability of the Intel Gateway Solutions for IoT, an integrated solution based on Intel Quark and Atom processors, in addition to an Intel Galileo-based development platform. These platforms will help businesses reduce costs and offer new services by unlocking data from legacy systems that traditionally haven't had a means to communicate with each other and the cloud. The first platforms integrate Wind River and McAfee software and will be available from the ecosystem this quarter.
Turning to other smart, connected devices that help make up the IoT, Krzanich said Intel Edison is on track for availability later this summer. Krzanich said Intel is extending Intel Edison to a family of development boards that will address a broader range of market segments and customer needs. The first Intel Edison board will now include use of Intel's 22nm Silvermont microarchitecture in development of a dual core Intel Atom SoC, increased I/O capabilities and software support, and a new, simplified industrial design.
Intel also disclosed that the next-generation Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family based on the Haswell microarchitecture will be in production in the second half of this year.
Intel also plans to create exclusive content for devices built around its chips, by striking partnerships that would enable the development of software products exclusive to Intel chips, M ore details about the exclusives will be shared on Thursday during the second day of the Intel Developer Forum in Shenzhen, China.

Maybe story tellers get better with age. Or, perhaps the stories were that much more interesting back in the day. But is there a single one of us who wouldn't kill siblings for a time machine back to the early 60s just to watch the cars race? Imagine actually being able to see a Shelby Daytona Coupe being unloaded from a carrier; being able to smell the freshly welded metal and paint. I'm typically not one to look backwards, but certain cars are worth a 402nd look. And no matter how many books I read,
DVDs HD DVDs Blu-Rays I watch or tales I get told, I will never tire of modern racing's heyday.
Today I put up a little ditty about Auto Futura's "new" GT40 recreation, the Gulf Oil liveried CAV GT. Lighter, faster and better all around than the original GT40, we've been smitten for the past 24 hours over this bad sucker at it's 500 horsepower at the crank 5.6-liter V8. Commenter SRekauqh had only the following to say:
I effing love it.
Both the prosecution and the defense rest your honor.

TTFT: Hurricane MusicPosted in Uncategorized with the tags 2012, Culture, TTFF on October 29th, 2012 by Mr.Miner
"Sandy > Kane" 6.8.12, Worcester, MA
An appropriate kickoff to a playlist about Hurricane Sandy.
"A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing" 6.19.04 II, SPAC
Perhaps my single favorite jam from the post-hiatus era.
"Drowned" 9.14.00 II, Darien Center, NY
The most harrowing and psychedelic version of all time; it seemed quite appropriate.
"Split Open and Melt" 11.6.98 I, Madison, WI
This groove-based "Split" is in honor of this ridiculous You Tube video of the Con-Edison explosion last night in NYC.
"Wolfman's Brother" 11.13.98 I, Cleveland, OH
A cross between a hurricane and a ship that's run aground…
"Free" 11.22.95 II, Landover, MD
Splashing in the sea…
"Cities -> Good Times, Bad Times" 8.10.97 II, Noblesville, IN
This pairing of songs seemed incredibly fitting considering the scene in the New York metro area.
"Slave to the Traffic Light" 12.5.97 II, Cleveland, OH
…or lack thereof.
