By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes that Arsenal have enough quality in their goalkeeping department to keep them on course for success.
A commanding No 1 is a pre-requisite for any successful football team and Arsenal have had their fair share down the years from Bob Wilson to Pat Jennings and David Seaman.
The Club's current stable of keepers includes Manuel Almunia, Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone and all have endured lows as well as highs between the posts this year.
Critics suggest that Arsenal lack a world-class No 1 but Wenger defended his goalkeepers when the issue was raised at the Club's Annual General Meeting.
According to the Frenchman, the unique nature of the position and rule changes in football have both served to handicap goalkeepers.
"Yes I believe we have [enough quality]," said Wenger.
"Goalkeeper is a very difficult position. Why? It is the only position where you have only negative stress. People speak only about you when you have made a mistake.
"A striker has positive stress – he has a pressure to score but if he scores he is always 'a hero', he is always 'fantastic'. But a goalkeeper is only spoken about when he lets a goal in or when he makes a mistake and it is a difficult position.
"As well the modern rules, every rule that has come out in football has taken something away from the keeper.
"That means basically today he must be good with his feet, good with his hands, be very quick, be highly focused for 90 minutes, not make any technical mistakes and it makes the job very hard.
"You see on Wednesday night even if a young goalkeeper makes a mistake [like in the Milan Champions League game] you say he is not at the level to play in this league. But even the most experienced goalkeepers make mistakes."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2003
|We originally attempted this peak in April and were turned back due to an exhorbitant amount of snow that didn't mesh well with our trail runners. We returned in July to experience totally different conditions. The temps were 100+ degrees and there wasn't a cloud in sight. We were extremely happy when we finally reached some tree cover on the upper slopes. A pretty cool little area!

|Butt kicker is right, especially on a hot August day. My son Brad and I slept at the campground the night before and started as early as we could to beat the 100 degree heat of the St. George area. The trail is badly overgrown but the tread of the trail is never in doubt. Great views all the way up and found that my favorite spot was Deer Flat, a neat little meadow that I was surprised to find in this desert oasis.
The hike down was probably harder than the hike up but it was a great day to spend with my son.

|Route Climbed: Oak Grove Date Climbed: August 27, 2005
|Very nice views on the way up.
Five from LVMC (www.lvmc.org) went to the top, signed both logs (one on the true top, and the one with a view). Without a GPS to find the "top" this would have been difficult, since there are many forested lumps that appear to be about the same height. There was a pile of snow at ~ 9700', and many, many flowers.
The Oak Grove campground is not officially "open", and there is no one to collect fees and maintain order. However, the interagecy information group in St George told us we could camp there, but there was no water. We camped at a very nice site... and at 9 PM, some local kids pulled in across the campground, set up boom boxes, drank heavily, and about 11PM, began shooting off guns. Our sleep was a little disturbed.

|I saw a couple of guys with dogs on the way up, but nobody else. Snow covered parts of the steep trail near the top of the Western portions of the trail. I kept thinking I would get snowed out at any second, but it never happened. In checking with my topo, I was sure I found the right bump that should be Signal Peak. However, I found no cairn, nor a register on top. Hmm...I might re-visit this one to check the other bump for any signs of visitors.

After the meadow at Further Water I took a more direct approach to the summit. Made it back to the traihead before 11:30. Due to the steepness on the return trip running was not an option.

Funny CL add I read today and so true.
For you dumb asses that watch duck dynasty your idiots you don't kill ducks that are so far away you can't call. By the way thats called sky-busting. Just so you know the lingo the next time you ruin my hunt. Speaking of calling, quit, you sound like a freaking moron, your not calling ducks your freaking making them flare. I guess you don't have enough experience to know the difference. It's great to see you guys at the boat ramp dumping your boats off your trailers on to the concrete, it's going to be great for the boating industry. If your such good friends with the Duck Commander, then why the **** didn't you learn more when you were hanging out in the duck blind together. Oh and by the way that's TV, it don't work like that. Can I say dumb *** again. Yea I can, you **** me off that bad. Please learn to ID the birds, did I say birds, yes birds not ducks. If you can't ID it don't shoot it you dumb ***. I will put the FWC on your sorry ***, you get no more warnings. I get around a lot been doing this a while you get it dip ****. The next dumb *** I see shoot a bird that's not legal I get there tag and boat numbers. I already have a couple. See you on the water. Oh ya you can reply I'd you would like to.

Women Inspiring Strength and Empowerment
Women Inspiring Strength and Empowerment (WISE) provides support for the BU community with the intent of establishing a women's resource center. The resource center will serve as a clearinghouse for information and educational resources in hopes of fostering strength and empowerment in the campus community.
Women Inspiring Strength and Empowerment presents …
LUNAFEST, the fundraising film festival dedicated to promoting awareness about women's issues, highlighting women filmmakers, and bringing women together in their communities, will be hosted Sunday, April 14 by BU's WISE: Women Inspiring Strength and Empowerment in McCormick Center 1303. This unique film festival highlights women as leaders in society, illustrated through nine short films by women filmmakers. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women's health, motherhood, body image, aging, cultural diversity and breaking barriers.
All proceeds from LUNAFEST will benefit the Breast Cancer Fund, Columbia Montour Family Health, Inc. and WISE. Thus far, LUNAFEST, which is created and funded by LUNA, The Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, raised over $556,000 for Breast Cancer Fund and over $1,000,000 for other women's non-profit organizations.
Three short films will be shown. The first showing is 3 to 4:30 p.m. The second showing is 5:30 to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served between showings so, stay after to mingle and discuss the films or come early for refreshments and stay for the second showing. There is a charge of $5 at the door to benefit the Breast Cancer Fund, Columbia Montour Family Health, Inc. and WISE.

'William Thomas, who represents the Sabres in bankruptcy court proceedings, said Tuesday that, barring any appeals, the payments out of a $1.6 million account could be made by the end of the month following a recent ruling by Judge Michael Kaplan.'
Archives for April 2004
Sabres' unsecured creditors closer to getting paid
Catchword for Sabres is progress
'The biggest disappointments were left wing Taylor Pyatt and defensemen Brian Campbell and Andy Delmore. Pyatt and Campbell were two youngsters who failed to take the next step. Delmore, a $1 million offseason acquisition, didn't come close to living up to his billing as a premier scoring defenseman and was traded away last month.'
Sabres plan busy summer
'"The collective bargaining agreement doesn't expire until Sept. 15, so things like qualifying offers have to go out June 30, the arbitration process starts July 15 and continues on through the 15th of August, so really operations will continue like they have in the past," General Manager Darcy Regier said Monday at management's farewell-to-the-season address.'
Sabres fans have a billion reasons for optimism
'Even Don Cherry, who rarely passes out compliments towards anything with a Buffalo before it, says the Sabres are "the team to watch" next season. If there only IS a next season. But even that has a bright side for Tom Golisano. He says he'll actually lose LESS money if there's a work stoppage, and when the two sides finally agree to agree, the Sabres will still be in Buffalo and ready to move forward.'
Golisano, Quinn, Regier And Ruff Meet The Media
'The restricted free agents are Daniel Briere, J.P. Dumont, Jochen Hecht, Maxim Afinogenov, Mike Grier, Dmitri Kalinin, Taylor Pyatt, Jeff Jillson, Rory Fitzpatrick, Brian Campbell, Henrik Tallinder, Milan Bartovic, Brad Brown, Andrew Peters, Martin Biron and Mika Noronen. All are eligible for arbitration except Noronen, Peters, Bartovic, Pyatt, Tallinder, Campbell, Jillson and Kalinin. The club holds an option on Ales Kotalik.'
Sabres ready to take the next step
'The Sabres need to be more demanding of their young players. They can't keep waiting on Maxim Afinogenov and Tim Connolly's potential. Either they produce or they're gone. Make the decision and live with it.'
Sabres' progress excites Golisano
'"The team worked so hard and was very intense and they tried their hearts out, you had to admire that. It would've been wonderful to make the playoffs this first year, but we didn't make it. But lack of success, just like success, only lasts for a moment. So now, we're already onto next year, and we have a lot of things to be concerned about."'
Future brighter for Sabres a year after bankruptcy
'''There's disappointment with not making the playoffs, but this job isn't done yet,'' general manager Darcy Regier said. ''It is, I feel, I don't want to say a beginning, but it takes us a long way down the road toward our goal. So there's gratification there.'''
Decisions for Oilers, Sabres
'As for Pyatt, he's another youngster rushed too soon and perhaps expected to do too much. At 6-foot-4 and 227 pounds he's been touted as the next Todd Bertuzzi, but his slow development now is raising unflattering comparisons to Brad Isbister and Chris Gratton.'
Sabres look to reverse losses
'Warm and fuzzy feelings aside, Golisano said he wants to get a better handle on the team's finances. Golisano's game plan is to see the annual deficit decrease by incremental amounts to the point where the team, and its fellow operations, finish each year in the black — or close to it.'
Sabres Season Ends On Sour Note
'The Sabres didn't make the playoffs but finish up a successful season with a 37-34-7-4 with 85 points. That's 10 more wins and 13 more points than last season when they were 27-37-10-8. The noted improvement should also be noted because Buffalo played in what many consider to be the hardest division in the NHL. The Northeast Division was the only division to have all five teams above .500 and at least 85 points.'
Sabres get to the point: Too many got away
'But there were so many ways the Sabres could have picked up enough points here and there to avoid an early offseason for an unprecedented third consecutive spring…'.
Patrick still isn't shy, retiring type
'He'll turn 41 in two months, might be facing surgery to replace two herniated discs in his neck and probably won't be the most attractive unrestricted free agent on the market given the probability of a lockout that threatens to wipe out the entire 2004-05 season.'
Experience under pressure should help Sabres in future
'The Sabres were in playoff mode for the final two months because they accomplished so little in the first three.'
Habs end on a high note
'Both Dagenais goals were stoppable, but don't even think about pointing a purple forefinger at a goaltender when a team is being outshot 24-14 after two periods and 39-27 on the game. From start to finish, there wasn't a helping hand in sight for Noronen – and to his credit, he got his game in order after the Canadiens had taken a 4-1 lead fewer than four minutes into the second period.'

Hello all! I've just stumbled upon this site whilst doing some late night browsing, owed mainly to the fact that I cant sleep because I leave for Madrid on Thursday to start my first TEFL job (yay!.) I've been looking forward to this for so long, and im excited it's finally come around, but I have to admit I'm VERY scared/anxious about what to expect. I have been volunteering at a local primary school, and have just finished my online TEFL degree along with my BA Hons but, nothing can replicate what it must be like to just turn up in a foreign school teach.
Basically, I was wondering if ANYONE could offer me any sound advice on how to prepare and what to take, and generally make the most of my time!

Called NOOK Support Twice Today - I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THEM!!GraciesGoneShopping Jul 6, 2013 1:57 PM
I called NOOK Support this morning regarding the problem with the dead spots on my NOOK, and I tried to fix a long standing problem with my e-mail while I had them on the phone. This required hanging up in the middle of the conversation, calling TimeWarnerCable, and then calling NOOK Support back.
I hate what I am going to say and I hate that I am the one saying it, but it needs to be said, and now that I'm saying it, I hope that if this is an issue for you, I hope you say it too.
I am not a raciest or a bigot and I hate this conversation and the fact that we even have to have this conversation, but I strongly feel that B&N needs to know what a problem this is. I'm not sure where I am calling when I dial NOOK Support, but I am now more certain than ever that it is outside of the United States. I call them because I have a problem with my NOOK, not because I want to insult somebody or to make somebody feel bad about their nationality. But after having to ask them so many times what they said, they do start to get irritated at which time I am already fed up. They speak broken English or very poor English and then they are offended because I ask them to repeat themselves? HA! There's nothing wrong with my English!!
Maybe B&N should open a NOOK Support Center here in the United States. Maybe they should be willing to pay people here to keep it open on the weekends and on holidays because it would be worth it to their AMERICAN customers to be able to speak to a service representative that can be understood. If I have to call there three times, I feel very strongly that at least once out of the three I should be able to speak with someone who speaks and understands my language! I certainly don't want to speak with anyone who thinks I am insulting them because I don't understand them.
I am at a crossroads now where I know my NOOK needs to be replaced. Do I really want to buy another NOOK when I already know what is at NOOK Support? Do I really want to do this to myself again? Maybe in between now and the time I buy the replacement I will get phone numbers for all the support people (iPad, etc.) so I can find out in advance who, if anyone, speaks English.
I should not have had to write this post. Luckily, I am angry enough that I don't care that I did.
Please forgive any typos and have a very nice day!

Revision as of 14:38, 23 October 2012
Cloud Haskell is a domain-specific language for developing programs for a distributed computing environment. Implemented as a shallow embedding in Haskell, it provides a message passing communication model, inspired by Erlang, without introducing incompatibility with Haskell's established shared-memory concurrency.
1 Availability
Cloud Haskell is available from Hackage as distributed-process. You might also want to install distributed-process-simplelocalnet. The cutting edge development version is on github.
There is also the older prototype implementation remote (also available from github).
2 Documentation
For an overview of Cloud Haskell it's probably a good idea to read Towards Haskell in the Cloud (details below). The relevant documentation (in order of importance is)
If you want to know more details about Closure or Static (without the Template Haskell magic on top) you might want to read
3 Videos and Blog Posts
Cloud Haskell intros
- blog: A Cloud Haskell Appetiser (Parallel Haskell Digest 11)
- video: (1hr) Cloud Haskell: a general introduction and tutorial, focusing on what it does and how to use it. It also covers some details about the current implementation.
- video: (1hr) Towards Haskell in the Cloud: an older but more detailed introduction by Simon Peyton Jones about the problem area and the design decisions and internals of Cloud Haskell. In particular it covers the details of how sending functions over the wire really works.
Well-Typed have a series of blog posts "Communication Patterns in Cloud Haskell"
- Part 1: Master-Slave, Work-Stealing and Work-Pushing
- Part 2: Performance
- Part 3: Map-Reduce
- Part 4: K-Means
Alen Ribic has a series of blog posts about (Cloud) Haskell on the Raspberry Pi

- Functional programming for the data centre, Jeff Epstein. Masters Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2011
5 Other Useful Packages
5.1 Serializable
A core concept in Cloud Haskell is that of serializable values. The Serializable type class combines Typeable and Binary. ghc can automatically derive Typeable instances for custom data types, but you need a package to derive Binary. There are various packages available that assist with this:
binary-generic and derive have been confirmed to work with Cloud Haskell; the status of the other packages is unknown -- YMMV (please feel free to update this wiki page if you have more information).
6 Migration from remote
Here are some suggestions that might ease the migration from the Cloud Haskell prototype remote to distributed-process.
- The "implicit" type of mkClosure has changed (implicit because mkClosure is a Template Haskell function). In distributed-process mkClosure takes a function of type T1 -> T2 and returns a function of type T1 -> Closure T2. In other words, the first argument to your function becomes the closure environment; if you want two items in your closure environment, create a function of type (T1, T2) -> T3; if you want none, create a function of type () -> T1.
- distributed-process follows the naming conventions in Towards Haskell in the Cloud rather than in remote so the functions that deal with typed channels are called sendChan, receiveChan and newChan instead of sendChannel, receiveChannel and newChannel.
- sendChan, receiveChan (and send) never fail in distributed-process (in remote they might throw a TransmitException). Instead, if you want to be notified of communication failure, you need to use monitor or link.
- The function forkProcess in remote is called spawnLocal in distributed-process
- The Process monad is called Process in distributed-process (rather than ProcessM)
- Initialization is different. See the documentation of of the Control.Distributed.Process.SimpleLocalnet to get started (note that the master/slave distinction in SimpleLocalnet is optional and does not need to be used).
- Peer discovery is different. The functions getPeers and nameQuery are no longer available. The function findPeers from SimpleLocalnet replaces some, but not all, of the functionality of getPeers. You can use whereisRemoteAsync to find processes that have been registered by name.

None of them really LOOK like the dogs they're supposed to represent, but I think that was to avoid the rejectionator.
I'd say the gray dog (the only one thus far not named) is Astro from the Jetsons.

I think the concept is cute (and so are the dogs), but I had trouble seeing the fire hydrant shape. A little more height might help, I don't know.

Re: sweet dreams!
I love -- frickin' LOVE -- the characters. But something about the clouds behind the dog seem off to me. I think they look slightly squashed horizontally; I feel like the top of them should hit above (or should be in line with) the heads of the bacon. Or, maybe, they should be a bit lighter and, therefore, more subtle; the blue shade is very close in lightness to that of the meat. Maybe that's what's bothering me.
That being said, I'm going to go laugh the day away at how amusing it is for me to be critiquing your work. -:P Anything I say aside, it's still fabulous. I love your shading to death.

Now it's official: Cell phones cause brain cancer.
It's always been a concern: Do cell phones cause cancer? For the past few years, there has been an urgency to address that concern, since cell phone usage has increased dramatically, especially among children and teens. The other day, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) which is part of WHO (World Health Organization) made its official announcement that it now lists cell phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.
The CTIA (the U.S. wireless trade association) immediately pointed out that the IARC did not say that cell phones cause cancer. Additionally, the findings were based on published studies, not scientific findings. The Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration say that there is no scientific evidence that link cell phone usage to health problems. The FCC urged the IARC to continue research until it has identified the potential health risks and then consider if "further actions may be required."
The IARC responded that the evidence is still being accumulated, but as of right now it is strong enough to support the conclusion that there could be some risk, and that we need to watch for a link and cell phones and cancer. The team of 31 scientists from 14 different countries (including the United States) said that it had found enough evidence to cell phone radiation being "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
Scientific experts have said that if a person uses a cell phone for at least an hour each day over a 10-year period, the risk of developing some brain tumors increases. They also said that the tumors were more likely to be on the side of the head where the cell phone is being most used. Other experts have agreed that there is no scientific proof of this.
Okay, so let me get this straight: For the past ten years, there has been increasing concern that cell phones might cause cancer. In 2008, Scientific American came out with studies that showed that cell phones might cause cancer, but that more research was needed before drawing a conclusion. Research became extensive because we, the cell phone users of the world, want to know: Does using a cell phone cause cancer?
Well, today we have the final answer: Yes, there is a possibility that it does. When more research has been completed we will know for sure.
Whew. That clears a lot up. I feel better now.

Carolina basketball plays its home games at the Smith Center, one of the most recognized athletic venues in America. The Smith Center became the home of the Tar Heels in 1986 and has since become a cherished traditional symbol of Carolina basketball.
In the fall of 2001, the UNC locker room and weight room were completely renovated. A new media center was built and the Bowles Room and Educational Foundation offices were retrofitted to include a practice gym that will allow added scheduling flexibility.
Dedicated in September 1986 as the Dean Edwards Smith Center, the 300,000-square-foot structure stands on seven and one-half acres on the University's south campus. Over 20,000 cubic yards of rock were removed to make room for the 340-foot-wide, 380-foot-long and 140-foot-high building.
The first game featured No. 1 Carolina beating No. 3 Duke, 95-92, in a battle of unbeatens on Jan. 18, 1986. The first basket was scored by Carolina center Warren Martin off a pass from Kenny Smith. Since that first game, the Smith Center has been the site of many memorable moments in Tar Heel history.
In 1999, the Smith Center and Koury Natatorium served as the basketball and aquatic venues for the 1999 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
Recent Renovations
The Smith Center has undergone a number of improvements to keep it on the cutting edge of basketball arenas.
As a multi-purpose facility, the Smith Center has played host to a wide range of athletic events and concerts. In 1987, U.S. Olympic Festival basketball attracted a Smith Center record crowd of 23,713 for the gold medal game. In 1988, the venue served as the site of the first and second rounds of the NCAA East Regional. In 1994, the Smith Center hosted the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, attracting a three-day total of over 60,000 fans.
Kenny Rogers staged the first concert in the arena on April 12, 1986. Other entertainers to perform here included the Grateful Dead, Bon Jovi, John Denver, Bruce Springsteen, Guns N' Roses and Elton John. Adjacent to the Smith Center is the Maurice J. Koury Natatorium. One of the finest and fastest swimming facilities in the country, the natatorium features an eight-lane, 50-meter pool. The Smith Center and Koury Natatorium also host such community activities as the commencement ceremonies for several area high schools, American Cancer Society Swim-for-Life, the School of Social Work gala, the Chancellor's Club gala, the Kenan-Flagler Business School Dedication, University Blood Drive, University Career Fairs, December Commencement Exercises and May Commencement Exercises. Thousands of school children visit the Smith Center annually.
Koury Natatorium also is open to faculty, staff and townspeople for a designated period each weekday for a Master's Swim program, and both facilities have been used annually for the North Carolina High School Athletic Association championships.

History's Headlines: Walled up door discovered during Allentown Symphony Hall building project
Imagine it is the year 1926.
You are in Allentown and have just finished watching a revival production of the Broadway show "Sinbad the Sailor" with its star Al Jolson at Allentown's Lyric Theater, now Symphony Hall, on N. 6th Street. Now of course you are ready for more fun.
Fortunately your date, being an in-the-know young man of the Prohibition era, has the most necessary item to accomplish that- a membership card in an exclusive "speakeasy" just around the corner at the theater's side entrance.
Grasping an elegant brass Art Deco handle of a glass panel door, you descend a narrow staircase below street level. Another door and a sliding panel reveling just an eye appears. Your date waves his card and you step into a crowded, smoky room.
There is Jolson himself giving a spirited rendition of a Berlin ballad while admiring "flappers" look on. Your date thoughtfully pours the contents of a hip flask into the ice filled glasses and bottles of ginger ale provided as "mixers," and soon the "speak" is swaying to an uninhibited version of the Charleston. Who needs New York when you have the Lyric?
Did this really happen? We may never know. It might have. According to the late William "Bud" Tamblyn, cartoonist for the Morning Call and Evening Chronicle newspapers, who was a young man in the 1920s, "during Prohibition, Lehigh County floated on a sea of booze." And several places that still exist are pointed out today as once being speakeasies in the 1920s.
These were the types of speculations going on recently following the discovery of a mysterious door that was uncovered at Allentown's Symphony Hall (known as the Lyric from 1899 to 1961) as renovations were going on to update the building. "We had no idea the door was there," says Symphony Hall Executive Director Shelia Evans. "When I was told about it I could not believe our luck that this wonderful part of our past had been preserved."
Evans herself added to that history when she opened the door and discovered behind it a thin leather jacket with no lining that had a star stamped button on it. This set off more speculation. Was it part of a costume from a long ago production? Or just something someone provided as insulation when the door was sealed behind the wall? It is impossible to know. Folks who might have known, like John Y. Kohl, the Morning Call's theater critic, have long since taken their last curtain call.
Although not exactly King Tut's tomb, this hidden treasure of a door adds at least something to the past to this over 100 year old structure that was built in the 1890s to be a farmer's market building, called the Central Market Hall when it opened.
At least since 1848, when Allentown's Great Fire wiped out the city's municipal farmer's market building at Center Square, there had been no one central location for the farmers to gather, so many of them simply set up their wagons around the then-monument less square at 7th and Hamilton. According to newspaper accounts, the Central Market Hall had been built to solve that problem. But farmers had gotten used to setting up their huckster wagons for free on the square and were not interested in paying to rent space.
Over time the building's owners decided to put it into better use as a meeting room and gathering space for the Lehigh Valley's many singing clubs. The result was so successful that that its owners decided to convert it into a theater. And in 1899 it opened as the Lyric, the name selected after a contest whose winner was the wife of a member of the Iredell family, who then owned the Chronicle and News newspaper.
It is unknown if the recently discovered door was a part of that initial renovation from market to theater but it might have been. If that was the case it might very well have been touched by at least two U.S. presidents-Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. They spoke there during the 1912 presidential campaign. Or it may have been the door used by customers who arrived in 1911 for an English language production of Puccini's opera, "The Girl of the Golden West." Crowds in formal wear and evening gowns arrived in carriages after paying the high price of $3.25 for first class seats.
But more than likely the door was added as part of some major renovations that the Lyric underwent in 1921-22. That year, David Levy, who may have been the first Jewish architect to practice his profession in Allentown, created the Beaux-Arts classical façade of the building we see today. Postcards from 1907 show it replaced a brick Romanesque revival predecessor.
When or why this particular door was sealed up is a mystery. It may have taken place in the 1950s or early 1960s when public minded citizens decided to save the building from the wrecking ball and create a home for the Allentown Symphony. It all came as a surprise to Bill Lutterschmidt, the job supervisor for contractors Duggan & Marcon when he came across it. "I saw glass windows and a door where it shouldn't be," he said.

Hey all, I have a question: I am being charged 900.00 for a repair and replacement of my one mounting bracket for my 2008 Audi A4. It is under warranty and the warranty company, National, will not cover the repair. The mount is located near the turbo and I am wondering if this is correct because I feel the warranty should cover this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have commented earlier; this is an excellent product. I have used the .5 liter Trangia teapots for years and very successfully, but this is a better design and holds more water at .7 liters. The Trangias tend to pour with difficulty if the lid fits securely...air cannot get in to allow pouring smoothly. The new Optimus has an air vent and the pouring spout does not drip. This is a nice product; you will not be disappointed. A picture of the kettle is displayed at the beginning of the promotional… Full review
Open Country 2 Quart Non-Stick Kettle
This is a big, light pot with a non-stick surface. It comes with a lid. Has a great bail that snaps into three positions. This is a big 2 quart pot. Even though I went out to my kitchen and measured it out before buying I was still surprised by the size when I received it. Even though the measurements were included... I was surprised. I guess I want a pot the size of a cup that can hold more than the outer size dictates. This would probably be a GREAT pot for someone cooking for more than one… Full review
Optimus Kettle
I've found this to be the only pot I need when "hot camping" on backpack trips.

Open Country Aluminum Covered Kettle - 2 Quart
Open Country 2 quart aluminum pot. I bought this pot a few years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite pots. It is a simple aluminum pot with a good lid. It has an efficient, relatively wide shape so it captures heat well. The shape also makes it good for packing other items inside. There is no nonstick coating to be damaged. It is very reasonably priced at about $15. It isn't much heavier than titanium. The aluminum conducts heat well. The 2 quarts is a good capacity, although more than… Full review
GSI Outdoors Tea Kettle HAE
Great pot, but you can cook in it too. Read in another review that you can cook in it and wanted to be sure before I took it on the trail for that purpose. Because it has a very wide lid you can actually cook in this pot. I made one of my favorite meals, Fettuccini with Salmon. I used the Lipton Knorr Pasta Sides Alfredo and a foil packet of Smoked Salmon purchased from the grocery store. The recipe calls for 2 cups of water and the total contents just fit into the pot. I cooked it over a Trangia… Full review
MSR Titan Kettle
Simple, high quality, lightweight pot. This is a great item that I'm glad I purchased. This kettle is well made and durable. It has served me well whether I was cooking over open flame, an alcohol stove, or a canister stove. I try to keep my meals really simple while being really good. I try to make things that require boiling water and dumping in a packet of ingredients. I use this pot as my bowl and eat directly from it and also use it for making tea and then drink directly from it. This is… Full review
GSI Outdoors Tea Kettle HAE
Lightweight little kettle that's pretty close to indestructable. Definitely worth the cost, which really isn't all that much. The only downside I can see is that where the handle connects to the pot, there are some sharp edges. I wouldn't be comfortable with it jabbing into a water bladder and I question how long it will be before I end up with a hole in my pack because I wasn't cautious enough. Now for the good stuff... Not long after I got this kettle, I was boiling water at home for a cup of… Full review
GSI Outdoors Tea Kettle HAE
Whether used as a compact primary or secondary pot this 1 quart kettle gets the job done without taking up a lot of space. Great for solo dining or making hot beverages for the whole group. Having used the GSI Dualist set for a few years when doing group and family trips I kept them in mind when looking for a kettle. I wanted something better suited for solo use and went with the GSI Tea Kettle over other options based on that previous experience. The one quart kettle has a wide 4 3/8ths inch top… Full review
MSR Titan Kettle
Great piece of kit, very usable, ticks 99% of the boxes. I've been using this kettle for a while now, as it serves as a cooking pot as well as a kettle, and nests with an MSR Titan Cup, alcohol stove, micro gas stove, folding spork, and firesteel, with the rim of a gas cartridge sitting perfectly in the recess in the lid. Not sure how people are using this when they say the handles get hot, as the handles have never gotten too hot to hold on mine, whether I'm using the alcohol stove or the gas stoves. Full review

Wayne Rooney can feel hard done by over his Euro 2012 suspension, according to Arsène Wenger.
The England striker was sent off for kicking out at Miodrag Dzudovic during last Friday's 2-2 draw in Montenegro and has since been handed a three-match ban that will rule him out of the entire group stage at next summer's tournament.
Wenger has sympathy for Rooney but, having been on the receiving end of a UEFA punishment himself this season, the Arsenal manager is not surprised.
"It looks harsh but I don't know the rules well enough," he said.
"You don't want to make an exception because it is anybody with a big name. I don't know the rules well enough but I have experienced myself that UEFA can be very harsh. You have to accept it.
"The FA has to make a decision on the appeal knowing that they can be punished more. The maximum they can gain is one game but they risk getting one game more so maybe it would be wise not to do anything."
The debate has already started over whether England manager Fabio Capello should select Rooney for Euro 2012. Wenger is very much in the 'yes' camp.
"I am not in a position to tell Fabio Capello what he has to do but if you ask me my opinion I say that he should go to the European Championships of course," he said.
"You cannot expect your national team to win the European Championships and leave him out just because he misses the qualifying stage. That doesn't work well together. If you expect your team to win you have to take your best player even if he doesn't play the first three games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Student Loan Access
Our nation's drug laws doubly punish students with drug convictions who receive financial aid. After navigating the criminal justice system, these young people then face an enormous barrier to moving forward with their education.
Federal grant and loan programs established in 1968 by the Higher Education Act assist millions of students each year that would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college. In 1998, Congress passed an amendment authored by Rep. Mark Souder that denies federal financial aid to any student with a drug conviction, so that one brush with the law can permanently destroy a student's prospects for a successful future. Additionally, the law creates an unfair environment where a drug conviction for an economically disadvantaged student carries much more serious consequences than a drug conviction for a student who does not receive financial aid.
The Drug Policy Alliance is working to repeal the Souder amendment so that students with drug convictions can access the financial aid that could mean the difference between continuing their education and not.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Davos, More Optimistic and Less Glamorous, Struggling with 2.0 World
This year's World Economic Forum at Davos was a more sober, but also more optimistic affair than in recent years, which found political leaders preoccupied with the usual matters such as economic growth and environmental sustainability but also struggling to adjust to a world transformed by social media and communications.
That was the consensus offered Friday (Feb. 1) by a panel of Harvard experts assembled for the annual Davos Debrief, an event organized by the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government and hosted by Executive Dean John Haigh, co-director of the center.
"The mood of the meeting was absolutely different from last year," Felipe Calderon, the former president of Mexico and inaugural Angelopoulos Global Public Leaders Fellow at the Kennedy School. "It was very pessimistic in 2012 and today it is more positive."
Calderon noted that despite the improvements in the economic condition, especially among European nations, the benefits of the economic sacrifices are not yet being felt by people in those societies.
"It's going to take a long time before they trickle down to ordinary people," he said.
Ricardo Hausmann, professor of the practice of economic development at Harvard Kennedy School and director of the Center for International Development, has been attending the Davos event for two decades. He commented on the increasing diversity of the conference, which has evolved from a meeting of businessmen and policy makers to one also involving academics, artists, scientists and many more.
But he says the increasing diversity and other changes, such as the flattening of hierarchies, are posing touch challenges.
"Both the world and the meeting are in this transition from a 1.0 world to a 2.0 world and there's this tension," he said.
Hausmann said the idea seemed to be best expressed by a plenary panel, which included heads of state, international organizations, and business leaders, that discussed the U.N. Millennium Development Goals.
"This is really the extreme 1.0 idea," he said. "Here you're going to have a group of leaders deciding where are the goals for everybody, and especially for the eradication of poverty, without really considering what are the problems for the poor of this world would like to nominate."
Beside its reputation for a meeting place for the world's elite, Davos has also long been known for its social scene, but participants said they found it a more subdued meeting this year.
"It was a more optimistic Davos; it was a less glamorous Davos," said Nancy Koehn MPP 1983, professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. "It was all just less sparkly. It was a little less celebrity-studded and glamorous."
Panelists pictured (From L to R): Eric Hellweg, Harvard Business Review; Ricardo Hausmann, HKS Professor of the Practice of Economic Development; Josh Lerner, HBS Jacob H. Schiff Professor of Investment Banking; Nancy Koehn, HBS James E. Robison chair of Business Administration; Felipe Calderon, HKS Angelopoulos Global Public Leaders Fellow; and John Haigh, HKS executive dean.
"The mood of the meeting was absolutely different from last year," said Calderon.

|If you have fear you aren't confident enough in your riding to start sending it.
|Thank you everyone who posted here! It's much appreciated as everything helped!
|About the fear of hurting yourself... get some Azzpadz for your tailbone and it will pretty much eliminate the tailbone issue. Those things are like falling on pillows. I would also recommend a helmet and get some gloves with biomex wrist guards. At your age you're probably more focused on looking good than being safe so I would understand your hesitations, but think of it this way: wearing protective gear gives you so much more confidence to try new stuff because it will hurt a lot less if you eat it. And you will have a much lower percentage of breaking something.
Fear is something you have to learn how to control. The fear of new rails/jumps is completely normal and no one was totally comfortable doing it for the first time. I've been riding for a long time but recently have been doing street-style rails (from the side) and it scares me every time when it's a bit higher jump to get onto the rail. I'm guessing these are the rails you're wanting to hit later since you said you can already do ride-on features, but for now focus on getting boardslides down on ride-ons. Personally it's always in the back of my mind that I'm going to clip the street style rails coming onto them but you have to push that aside when you get to that point. I'm a firm believer in the deep breath approach...and it's just that. As you're approaching the feature, just take a long deep breath, you'll be amazed how much it helps.
As far as what you look like to others, doesn't matter. Other people don't care. It's that simple. Unless you're sitting in a landing or blocking a rail, no one is going to give you a second thought. You're just another rider on the slopes. When you're crashing trying the simple park stuff, just laugh at yourself. As Snowolf said don't take things too seriously, go out and have fun with it. The people that take things too seriously are usually the ones that don't stick around too long. I had to check myself on that today because it took me 31 tries to get a taller street-style rail in our park to the end. I know if I would've gotten all stressed about it, and worried what I looked like, I never would of got it. Focus on what you're doing, not what you look like doing it.
Remember, the people you might think are judging you or the people around you making you feel embarrassed may be the same type of people on this site giving you advice
i can speak from experience.
On top from not caring what you look like, that's the awesome thing about snowboarding is....besides the helmet, you could be fully protected and people would not notice a thing.
And with protection you'll feel a little more confident cause if you do fall it won't hurt as much.
Try the things you were trying before with the gear, and push it at your own pace, and you'll notice yourself you'll be trying all new things.
Last Year practicing switch I hit my tailbone every time I went snowboarding, and I had to go home after that because of the pain. Part of reason that kept happening to me is because I was afraid of falling. This year, I wear this butt protector thingy, and it took away my fear of falling.
I'm still learning switch but I'ver improved because I felt safe. Wear extra protection, and don't worry how you look, you're still learning.
Listen to Snowolf.
|U have taken up a potentially physical damaging sport...some don't make it out alive or even walking. Yesterday a jr high kid in the park looked to have a spinal cord injury from a small jump. Loaded in to the bucket and couldn't feel his legs.
Excellent advice!!
|making turns
|Pipes . . . you should listen to what snowolf said, all of it is "right on!" Go have fun and remember, if you are 16 and have already been riding for 6 years you are really fortunate.

I really want to be able to hit rails and boxes and bigger jumps in the park but i just cant seem to get there. I think i have 2 fears. 1. getting hurt, i bruised my tailbone 3 years ago and it still hurts today if i sit in a weird position. 2. being embarrassed. I think I'm so used to looking good when I'm carving down a diamond that i don't want to look bad it the park. i know i shouldn't care what people think but i do. i can pop pretty high for my size (5'5" - 115lbs) and i can land a 180 and 50/50 small ride on boxes.
Any tips for getting over these 2 fears?
Just shred it bro, how else are you going to get better? I have been snowboarding for the past 2 years and i have progressed farther than that because me and my push each other to one up one another every time we hit up the hill. Pain is just weakness leaving the body, if you fully commit to a rail or jump you will be surprised at your own abilities.

Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol is one of my all-time favorite stories, as it's been for millions of others since it was written in 1843. Who doesn't start sniffling when reading this classic tearjerker about Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold, bitter old man dragged—by the ghosts of his past, present, and potential future—on a terrifying midnight journey of self-discovery, from which he emerges transformed and redeemed? Most people love movies about driven, selfish people who, struck by the life-altering experience of sudden love or near loss, eventually see the light and blossom into life-affirming mensches. Miraculous conversion stories appeal to the wishful thinker in all of us. We want to believe that hitting bottom—being forced into genuine awareness of one's bad behavior and experiencing true remorse about it—is the key to transformational change, a comforting daydream shared by many therapists.
However appealing this view of human transformation may be, the reality is that it distorts what we now know about the foundation of lasting change. Falling in love, for example, doesn't make us appreciate other people; appreciating other people makes it likelier that we'll fall in love. Appreciation can be practiced and conditioned; love cannot, at least not directly. We don't change our bad behavior by feeling bad about it. In fact, we usually don't feel bad about it—much less understand its effects on ourselves and others—until after we've changed enough to achieve a more enlightened perspective. (That's why it's usually not until we become adults that we can transcend denial about the foolish things we did as adolescents.) Except for saints and literary characters, enduring change rarely happens as the result of being knocked off our feet by a spiritual or psychological whack upside the head. Perdurable change is gradual and mundane. It occurs by extending, supplementing, and altering the habits that shape perspectives and drive behavior. First comes the hard work; then comes the epiphany.
I began clinical practice some 25 years ago, firmly committed to what might be called Christmas Carol therapy. Although I didn't make the conscious connection back then, I secretly believed that change for every client was always a transformational session away. I can recall many highly emotional sessions that did, in fact, shake many clients to their core; most left therapy changed forever, or so it seemed to me at the time. But the follow-up questionnaires I regularly sent clients a year after treatment told a different story. To my dismay, the clients who'd had the most dramatic experiences in therapy did the poorest a year later. A few were even worse off than before treatment. It had to be the fault of the questionnaires! So I tried different ones, and persisted with my version of Christmas Carol therapy—until I met Mattie.
Mattie showed up for an appointment that was actually intended for her husband, Patrick, who'd completed therapy with me five months earlier. Before coming to therapy, Patrick had been convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence for pushing Mattie into a wall and court-ordered into a batterer's intervention program, after which he was referred to me by the group leader.
In therapy, Patrick relived his ghosts of times past, including when he'd witnessed traumatic scenes of his drunken father battering his mother. On the mornings following these beatings, while his mother's face was bruised and swollen, Patrick would be smothered in affection by his now sober and remorseful father. The ghost of Patrick's present soon became obvious: Mattie's unhappiness reminded him of his mother and his own failure, as a boy, to protect her, as well as the guilt he felt for hating a father who, when sober, was loving. But rather than elicit a deep need to redo the past and protect Mattie from harm, he blamed her for making him feel bad. The slightest hint that she was unhappy, even a complaint that he wasn't doing enough around the house, would scrape the old wound and prompt an eruption of anger. Although the incident that landed him in court had been the worst of his violent attacks, he frequently raised his voice, laced with contempt and disgust, bullying his diminutive wife. Through our work together, Patrick came to see the ghost of the future—divorce, isolation, desolation—and seemed to make some important discoveries about himself.
With honesty and sincere emotion, he mournfully recalled his childhood feelings of fear, guilt, shame, and helplessness. More importantly, he became aware that Mattie, then pregnant with their second child, was not a symbol of his failure, but his beloved wife, with a right to her own thoughts, feelings, and desires. He left therapy a new man, confident that he could use the fruits of our work, along with the safety plans learned in his domestic violence class, to give Mattie the kind of relationship she wanted and deserved.
When Patrick called for a follow-up appointment five months after our therapy had terminated, I looked forward to seeing him again, but when I stepped into my waiting room and saw Mattie, one feature of her appearance shocked me: fading but still ugly bruises on her cheeks and around one eye. Patrick had beaten her up and was now sitting in jail. When I invited her in, she described the stress they were under with their new baby and the threat of downsizing at Patrick's job. "He really has changed," she added. "Therapy really did him good. He's a much nicer guy . . . most of the time." This beaten young woman was trying to reassure me.


text: February 03. 2013 12:29PM Mike Hamlin, father-in-law of a Pelham man critically injured in a bob house explosion early Sunday morning, unveils the cover he had just placed over the bob house's blown-out wall. (DAN SEUFERT PHOTO) Updated: Pelham man in critical condition after Gilford ice-fishing explosion By DAN SEUFERTUnion Leader Correspondent GILFORD — A Pelham man is in critical condition at a Boston hospital with second-degree burns Sunday after a propane heater explosion in his bob house injured him and a companion. Ryan Gagne, 26, of Pelham was flown to Brigham and Women's Hospital with severe burns to his hands and upper body. Friend and co-worker Kevin Fitzpatrick, 25, of Manchester was treated at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia. Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier said the 2 a.m. explosion caused a flash fire that blew one of the walls nearly 15 feet from the 8-by-8 bob house, which Gagne had placed a few hundred feet from shore at Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee. "These guys were extremely lucky that they were not injured more severely and that they were close enough to shore to get help quickly," Carrier said. Gagne, who runs Gagne Landscaping in Pelham, was being kept sedated at the hospital, said Mike Hamlin, Gagne's father-in-law, who lives in Gilford. Hamlin said doctors aren't sure yet whether Gagne suffered inhalation wounds as well. "We don't know yet whether he's going to be alright," Hamlin said. "It's very serious." Hospital spokeswoman Erin McDonough said he was in critical condition Sunday afternoon. Fitzpatrick said he slept through the explosion. "He (Gagne) must have got up to turn it on when it got cold and the valve was left on apparently," said Fitzpatrick, who had second-degree burns to his hands. "I just woke up to him panicking and freaking out. I didn't hear the explosion or anything." Fitzpatrick, who works with Gagne, said they had gone to Gilford Saturday and planned to spend the night in the bob house while trying to catch some fish. "We're definitely lucky to be alive. That's for sure," Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick said a neighbor who heard the explosion ran out onto the ice and helped the injured pair to his home and called for an ambulance. Fitzpatrick said Gagne's hands were badly burned but he was conscious as they waited for help. "I was talking to him, trying to calm him down," Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick said the two had already been to Lakes Region General Hospital earlier in the day. Fitzpatrick received seven stitches to his head from an injury he suffered as they tried to adjust the bob house using a jack. Gagne bought the bob house a few weeks ago. "He had been talking about bringing the bob house up to go fishing, and he was really looking forward to sleeping in the bob house," Fitzpatrick said. Hamlin said Gagne, who is married and has a child, was burned severely in part because his sleeping bag caught on fire. Hamlin, who said he has been in the heating business for more than 40 years, said he was worried about the small bob house's propane stove. "I told him be careful of that heater," he said. "I never liked the idea of them sleeping with that heater so close." Firefighters said the incident should serve as a warning to anglers who will be participating in the Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby next weekend. "There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning with gas stoves in such a small space. If it had not exploded, they could have been killed by the fumes," said Fire Department Lt. Jeff Madon. "It points out that you can never be too careful," Carrier said. "Many of the bob houses on the lake have some type of heat source, and, whether it is wood or gas, if it is not used or installed correctly, it can create a hazard."
