Meals On Wheels Sees Strong Volunteer Turnout
By: Pete Koehn
Updated: January 27, 2009
But by 11 a.m., dozens of volunteers had arrived to make the deliveries.
The same icy conditions that prevented many from traveling closed both AISD and Dyess AFB.
The result; students and airmen alike came out to help.
Regular volunteers were also present, citing the delivery service as their duty.
"We have people depending on us for the meals," said Georgia Delevega.
Some volunteers thought twice about reporting for duty, but said they knew people were expecting meals.
"We kind of hesitated, but we decided to go ahead and do it," said Georgia's husband, Burt.
Regular volunteers also kept up the pace of deliveries by picking up extra delivery routes
Bob Lindsey, a regular volunteer at Meals on Wheels, said there were 33 uncovered routes due to the weather.
Lindsey, who said he doesn't mind the cold, doubled his own routes in an effort to get the meals out.
"It's good weather," Lindsey said.

In the 'avatars you hate' thread, Waterfaller suggested that there should be an 'avatars you love' thread. I thought that sounded like a good idea and I couldn't find one in search so I'll start it.
I think my favorite avatar on s-16 is Chilly Willy. He's got the gif of a roided up hamster running on a wheel. I think it was from a Simpsons episode but I forget. Regardless, it cracks me up every time.

Luxury Ski Chalets
The Alps is the home of skiing in Europe, with some of the best slopes, accommodation and après-ski in the world. We have hand-picked some of the best ski chalets and lodges in France, Switzerland and Austria, with resorts such as Val d'Isere, Courchevel, Verbier, Zermatt and St Anton, where first class accommodation is matched by five star service.
Our luxury ski Chalets are located in the alpine resorts of Europe combining exquisite scenery, a myriad of outdoor pursuits, fine food & wine and welcoming hospitality. We have chosen the best chalets and lodges in the finest ski resorts to complement our summer villa collection.
Our luxury ski chalets in France are located in the alpine resorts of Courchevel, Meribel and Val d'Isere. Courchevel 1850 is part of the Trois Vallées, which offers a diverse range of runs, from sublime blue runs to the more challenging blacks, such as Les Suisses. Meribel is also part of the Trois Vallées, with 600km of piste to explore. The village of Meribel is perhaps one of the prettiest of European ski resorts, with buildings made of stone and wood in traditional ski chalet style. Like Courchevel 1850, it offers superb après-ski opportunities. Val d'Isere is a high altitude resort with a long ski season from late November to mid-May. Though it has good nursery slopes and runs suitable for intermediates, Val d'Isere is especially noted for its off-piste skiing opportunities.
Our selection of Luxury Ski Chalets in Switzerland offer the ultimate in luxury skiing experiences. Like Val d'Isere, Verbier boasts some of the best off-piste skiing in the world with notable runs such as Stairway to Heaven, Fontanet and Rock Garden. Zermatt is a sports enthusiasts dream. While the summer brings opportunities for hiking, climbing, fishing and mountain biking, it is in the winter when the resort really comes to life. Being located at such a high altitude in the shadow of the mighty Matterhorn, snow is pretty much guaranteed, with glacier skiing possible year round.
Our luxury ski chalets in Austria are situated in the resort of St Anton in the Arlberg ski region, where pistes range from gentle blues close to the resort through to the heart-stopping Valluga. One of the first ski resorts in Europe St Anton is a pretty alpine villlage, rather than a purpose built resort and it retains its authentic Austrian charm. Boasting some of the liveliest apres-ski scene, St Anton is as popular with social skiers as it is for ski adrenaline junkies.

Once again, I am tantalisingly close to solving this myself but I'm just let down my understanding of what I can see in firebug and how to address that with a custom include.
I am trying to change the icon displayed on the navbar (http://ohisp.charlesworth.derbyshire.sch.uk) for the home page.
In the code below, I have tried all sorts of things to actually make the change itself. Of course, I can do it easily by replacing the image file itself but I want something that will survive if someone updates the theme once I have handed it over.
I have managed to sort of get it to work using background: but obviously, that is overlaid with the suffusion icon.
If someone could just have a quick look and correct my muppetry, it would be much appreciated

Breitbart.com and CSPAN are covering the Tea Party, IRS, and Immigration rallies in Washington today with live blogs and video. Despite the early start on a day in the middle of the week, a couple hundred activists attended the beginning of the event and more are coming by the hour. It is a sign of growing anxiety in the grass-roots over the Senate amnesty legislation.

Press Service
Registration for journalists
boot 2013 will be taking place in Düsseldorf between 19 and 27 January 2013. Some 1.600 international exhibitors have registered to take part in this event.
boot 2013 is the place where journalists from home and abroad will come to meet and work. To make your stay and activities here as pleasant and convenient as possible, we should like to provide you with a few details regarding the official registration process as well as the range of services offered by our Press Department.
1. Welcome to our Press Center! It is located on the first floor of the Administration Tower. Registration will take place at the counter in the entrance to the Tower Building from 18 January 2013 and on the registration desk at the North entrance from 19 January 2013 where you will be required to present a valid recognised press ID card or authorisation from your editor-in-chief. A voucher copy bearing your name in the imprint/editors' credits will also be accepted in conjunction with your passport or ID card. Press Cards will not be mailed prior to the Fair.
2. We regret that all non-journalist staff, such as marketing or advertising personnel, are not entitled to a Press Card. We should also like to point out in this connection that inclusion in the Messe Düsseldorf press mailing list does not automatically entitle persons to the Press Card.

If you are visiting the show for the first time, please have your press pass or other press ID ready for the security personnel. Following press legitimation, the press pass issued by Messe Düsseldorf also acts as a permit for the car-park and entitles you to a ticket to exit.
We trust appreciate that these measures are in the interest of staging as smooth a trade fair as possible. We only wish to guarantee that the press car park remains free for you and your colleagues.
4. The following services are available to you in the Press Center free of charge:

They Never Saw The Plane, Testimony From Two NY Photographers |
Nov 7 2007, 09:16 AM
Group: Newbie Posts: 743 Joined: 23-August 07 Member No.: 1,808 |
About twelve weeks after the world changing events of September 11 2001, veteran interviewer and journalist, Charlie Rose had a special segment on his PBS show with four of the world's top photographers entitled: A conversation with photographers who captured 9/11 and its effects (10/31/2001)
You can watch the segment at: Charlie Rose's Site. or you can watch the whole program as aired on 10/31/01 on PBS at: YouTube. The segment is the second segment beginning at ten minutes and thirty seconds. The segment in question was a panel discussion with the four photographers who had chronicled the attack on the World Trade Center and its subsequent devastation on the surrounding community. The four featured photographers were all well established professionals, obviously having been deeply affected by witnessing and documenting the events of that day. They were: Pulitzer prize winner Richard Drew of the Associated Press, New York Daily News Photographer: David Handschuh, Jay Maisel, who had been photographing the Twin Towers for 35 years, and finally international veteran, Thomas Hoepker, photographer for Magnum Photos. Two of those photographers were on hand to photograph the events at the World Trade Center not long after the first Impact on WTC1 and thus witnessed the second impact on WTC2, the other two got to ground zero after this second impact. The two photographers who witnessed the second impact were, Jay Maisel: (IMG:http://www.awdpc.com/images/bio_jaymaisel.jpg) Jay Maisel is a photographer. His name has become synonymous with vibrant color photography that uses light and gesture to create countless unforgettable images for advertising, editorial and corporate communications. In addition, his pictures appear in books and art collections. Included among his many awards for excellence are the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame, American Society of Media Photographers' Photographer of the Year Award and the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award. Bio from Charlie Rose's Site and David Handschuh: (IMG:http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42029000/gif/_42029186_davidhandschuh203.gif) Handschuh is one of the most respected photo-journalists in the business: "David Handschuh, the past president of the National Press Photographers Association, and a staff photographer for the New York Daily News is one of the most street-wise photographers in New York. He commonly arrives on the scene of a fire or crime with the first wave of police. Article from Digital Journalist Here, in their own words is their fresh recollection of witnessing the second impact as they recount the day for Charlie Rose's program: QUOTE (Jay Maisel: On YouTube at 15:13) What I first saw was of a "hologram" flower that formed from the plane coming through from the south and I was looking to the south and I couldn't see the plane. I just suddenly saw this great big obscene flower. (Jay Maisel was watching the World Trade Center Towers from the roof of his six story studio, approximately six thousand feet away.) Note: "I COULDN'T SEE THE PLANE" (Maisel) QUOTE (David Handschuh: On YouTube at 33:35) I was less than a hundred yards away from the building I was standing on West Street and we heard this noise, and remember, I presumed cessna, never thought large aircraft, after the first one we didn't know attack, we didn't know terrorism, we just thought horrible accident. I mean people go up and down the Hudson Corridor all the time learning to fly a commercial aircraft and then heard this noise that seemed to come from everywhere but didn't - I had no idea what it was and then the south tower just exploded, it just, it just, it just blew up, and somebody said "that was a plane", it's like: I was underneath it, I was looking at the tower, I had my camera in my hand, I heard the noise, I never saw the airplane and didn't realize that I had that picture 'til a neighbor brought the Daily News over the next day and it had my byline underneath: "Oh my God, look at that! Note: "I NEVER SAW THE AIRPLANE" (Handschuh) Here's a map for reference of the two photographer's viewing locations: (IMG:http://www.aaccessmaps.com/images/maps/us/ny/manhattan/manhattan.gif) Maisel was on the roof of his studio, at the corner of Spring Street, and Bowery: NExE of the WTC (55 degrees of North) looking SWxW towards the Towers Handschuh was situated on the corner of Liberty Street and the West Side Highway: right under the Towers to their West and looking upwards at them in an Easterly direction. They both had a clear view of the alleged plane's approach towards WTC2 and the subsequent impact. By there own accounts, as professional photographers , i.e. highly skilled observers, and both in the process of documenting the event, they were focussed on the Towers. They both saw the explosion; they neither of them saw the plane. To give you an idea of what they should have seen according to many allegedly authentic witnesses, let's take a look at two allegedly authentic videos taken from similar vantage points as the two photographers: Miasel's viewing angle is approximately the same as the video commonly called the Fant'Dev 2nd Hit Handschuh's viewing angle isn't too dissimilar from the one from the video known as the Luc Courchesne 2nd Hit This Fanta'Dev video closely matches Jay Maisel's viewing angle. It was taken from the roof of a five story building just North of Rivington Street and Bowery. The six years that have passed since 9/11 have seen many changes regarding the rapidly upscaling skyline of the Bowery district, such as a the construction of a 16 story Condominium complex at 195 Bowery which would have obscured much of the shot, had it stood back then. The buildings that are visible in the shot are (1) the back of the building near the South East corner of Rivington and Bowery with the Fant'Dev graffiti on it from which the clip gets its name, (2) Jay Maisel's studio/home/offiice, the Beaux Arts-style Germania Bank Building, 190 Bowery, at the corner of Spring Street, then positioned in front of the WTC Towers, is (3) the 41 story International Style Jacob K. Javits Federal Office Building, at 26 Federal Plaza and finally, beyond that there is (4) the distinctive Neo-Gothic Spire of the Woolworth Building, at 233 Broadway. Jay Maisel's camera tripod is visible on the near corner of the roof of the Germania Bank Building (Maisel is not, but he would have been operating his tripod mounted camera with a remote). Note also that the Germania Bank Building with its six monumental stories, stands taller than the five story Fanta'Vid location, thus affording Jay a slightly better view of the approach of the alleged plane than the Fanta'Dev videographer would have had. Here's Jay Maisel's studio, the Germania Bank Building, on 190 Bowery: (IMG:http://gammablog.com/gammablablog/images/12-04/12-26/old-bank.jpg) Here's a couple of still frames from the Fanta'Dev video. (IMG:http://911hoax.com/CamPlan_ST_0776.jpg) (IMG:http://911hoax.com/CamPlan_ST_0853.jpg) Jay Maisel's photographs of the Towers that he took on 9/11 are not publicly available on the internet but an example of one of them is displayed during the Charlie Rose segment at thirty nine minutes and fifteen seconds into the YouTube video. It is more or less taken from the same viewing angle as the Fanta'Dev Video, in fact there is only a couple of degrees difference between the two angles with Jay Maisel's position being just slightly to the left. Here below is an article for further reference about Jay Maisel and his thirty five year history photographing the World Trade Center Towers. The second cityscape photo down is taken from Maisel's roof and shows the similarity of viewing angle to the Fanta'Dev Video relative to the towers: Jay Maisel - Proof Positive The materials presented here clearly demonstrate that Jay Maisel unquestionably had a good view of the alleged plane's approach towards WCT2 and should have seen it. He did not. The Fanta'Dev video is thus, in all likelihood, fraudulent. Now, as for a comparison between the Luc Courchesne Video and what David Handschuh should have seen if it is to be deemed authentic: Here's Handschuh's photograph of the blow-back from the impact, i.e. Handschuh's camera was trained on the impacted South face of the Tower: (IMG:http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/art/news/nation_world/terroristwithin/sept11.jpg) And here's a still frame from the Luc Courchesne video for comparison: (IMG:http://www.olats.org/projetpart/artmedia/2002/img/courchesne1.jpg) David Handschuh was standing underneath the impacted face of the tower, on the corner of West Street (alongside the West-side Highway) and Liberty Street, looking up at the Towers in an Easterly direction. Luc Courchesne was standing about 900 feet the South West of David Handschuh at Rectory Place, looking up at the towers in a North Easterly direction. David Handschuh, as much as anyone, and in fact even more so than Luc Courchesne, had a ring side seat for the 2nd Hit. He should've seen the plane. He did not. The Luc Courchesne video is, in all likelihood, fraudulent. Reviewing the YouTube Video at twenty six minutes and forty seconds in: David Handschuh can be heard speaking a revealing piece of offscreen dialogue, as he talks under fellow photographer, Richard Drew. Richard Drew, who didn't witness the second impact, is discussing a photo he took of the WTC2 damage: QUOTE (Drew and Handschuh in conversation on the Charlie Rose Show) Richard Drew: You can see the profile of the airplane the wings coming out of the two sides and like the smoke going and I said this is just amazing David Handschuh: (Talking Under) but was this a large aircraft for you, or for you maybe it was a small one? Richard Drew: All, all I saw was a hole... Twelve weeks after the event, David Handschuh is obviously trying hard to reconcile his lack of having seen a large plane with the contrary evidence to hand. The discrepancy between what Handschuh knows he witnessed and what was reported is apparent from other interviews and articles: QUOTE 'Handschuh was standing on the corner of Liberty and West when he heard a noise that "seemed to come from everywhere." He thought that perhaps a large natural gas main in the building let go. "But all of the sudden the second tower explodes into flame. And I'm standing underneath it. And I think, OK. This is a second bomb. This is not an accident." Handschuh instinctively raised the camera to his eye. "I have the fireball coming out of the West Street side". David Handschuh's Personal Account QUOTE "Then out of nowhere came this noise. This loud, high-pitched roar that seemed to come from all over, but from nowhere in particular. And the second tower just exploded. It became amazingly obvious to anyone there that what we all had hoped was a terrible accident was actually an overt act of hostility. I didn't see the plane hit, although I was looking at the tower at the time." I Was There QUOTE "Then this noise filled the air that sounded like a high-pressure gas line had been ruptured. It seemed to come from all over, not one direction. Everyone was looking around thinking, "What was that?" And the second tower explodes." Capturing Heroism and History A large passenger plane, traveling at under 1,000 feet is unmistakable by visual and aural identifiers and impossible to miss by size and decibel level. If there had been a Boeing 767 that morning, approaching the Towers in Handschuh's and Maisel's clear view, they would have seen it, unless they were blind and deaf, which is not in any way feasible for photo-journalists. They didn't see or hear any plane. Maisel talks of the surreal image of the explosion just appearing, using the metaphor of the emergence of an obscene hologram flower. David Handschuh documents hearing a noise that filled the air and sounded like a high-pressured gas line had been ruptured. This confusing noise couldn't be attributed to any visible object and seemed to be coming from all over but nowhere in particular. He was not alone in his confusion. According to him everyone was looking around wondering what the sound was and then came the second tower explosion. His instinct was that it was from a bomb. A twenty foot long penetrator missile at approximately 1,000 feet is going to be very hard to spot. A Tomahawk Penetrator does, however, emit a high-pitched sound that could well be described as similar to that of a ruptured high pressured gas line. Incoming Missile Fly-By Now if you imagine the sound of that missile as above, overlaid on the following video by 911review (who "scrubbed" the plane from the Courchesne footage to show how easy it is to fake videos) Luc Courchesne 2nd Hit - "Plane" Removed then we are probably getting close to a reenactment of what David Handschuh and Jay Maisel actually witnessed: a twenty foot long penetrator missile, too high up to clearly see, screaming down towards the south tower out of a clear blue sky! This being the case I want to round off this post by referencing a video that otherwise might merely be dismissed as an anomaly. In light of the above evidence, however, it takes on high significance as it begins to look like one of the few surviving examples of an authentic and credible record of what actually took place that fateful day: September 11 2001 - Attack On America. "They're F#cking Bombing It" QUOTE (From the video) Unknown Woman: But that wasn't a plane!? Unknown Man: It was like a rocket or something. Lastly, I feel that the "Final Word" on this issue should belong to Jay Maisel. QUOTE (Jay Maisel: on YouTube at 43:25) (IMG:http://lucieawards.com/press/04photos/images/Jay_headshot.jpg)
"I don't think any of those fire fighters obviously had any idea of what was going to happen or they wouldn't have done it but the fact that they go in when other people come out, you know, I mean it, it... it breaks your heart."

Who plays games in Spam?
I was curious as to how many of Spam's inhabitants are Spammers and how many are the "Game-Players". I want to know.
I am Spam's Loveable Spoony bard.
I'm really starting to find Spam less and less interesting.
I don't know what to put here right now.
What's up with you Piccard? You seem grumpy lately. Or maybe it's just me. Who knows.
I think there's quite a big difference between people who start joining in the main three long running games and maybe post once or twice in spam and spammers who enter things like Doubts and Blorbs. But still interesting to see, even if we're not sure how the two pure gameplayers got here exactly.
Depends on the game.
Ban the player above you? lolnupe
Rabbit Doubt? lolyes
But mostly I dwell. Like a river troll.
Crafted by Lillian Thorne, after some aggressive pestering.
Guild Contests l Guild Guide l Suggestions/Problems l Ask a Comrade
I said "Just Dwell in Spam", assuming you mean stuff like RD and Blorbs.
...Though I haven't posted in the long-running forum games, either, if we include those. Been meaning to get back into the "avatar above you" one now that I have an interesting avatar again, though.

Of all the various names being floated as potential GOP presidential candidates in 2012. I don't think there's been any trial balloon quite as daffy as this one. Roger Ailes? Seriously?

What Did Bush Bequeath Obama in Afghanistan?
Dick Cheney says the Bush administration left the Obama administration with a plan (and a good one) for Afghanistan: The President's chief of staff claimed that the Bush Administration hadn't asked any tough questions about Afghanistan, and he complained that the Obama Administration had to start from scratch to put together a strategy.

A Semi-Defense of Bush's Buckraking
TPM and others are having a lot of fun over the fact that George W. Bush is heading out on the motivational speaking circuit. And, I agree that, even when you consider that other politicos such as Colin Powell, Elizabeth Dole, and Rudy Giuliani, have been doing gigs with Zig Ziglar and his ilk for years, there is something kind of undignified about a former president appearing on that stage.

How Much Will a November 7 Run-Off Really Change?
It's obviously significant that Karzai has not only agreed to a run-off, but has acquiesced to holding that run-off on November 7, rather than pushing it back until after the Afghan winter, as some thought he might try to do. And it does give the Obama administration some more room to operate. But how much? READ MORE >>

This case study features the ten 2007/2008 Citizen Conferences, each consisting of 8 to 10 New Mexican Adult Citizens and lasting 9 hours. This series of deliberative events was convened by the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) and the University of New Mexico's Institute for Public Policy (IPP) to gather public feedback, so that the State could best meet the transportation needs of its citizens.
Problems and Purpose
In April 2001, the Canadian government established the Romanow Commission to deliberate with citizens on the future of healthcare in Canada. However, the commission overlooked the serious issue of engaging marginalised groups such as Aboriginal people, and did not provide separate participatory spaces for such groups. While some Aboriginal people participated in the dialogues, the outcomes did not fully reflect Aboriginal health issues.
In the context of the perpetual crisis of urban transportation in Bucharest, there is a growing population of city dwellers fighting for bicycle rights and advocating for a new, bicycle friendly infrastructure in Bucharest. The bicycle fans coagulated since the mid 2000's into different groups and NGO's and developed into a new movement and a powerful presence in the urban landscape, adopting several strategies of public participation.
1. Background
Researchers at the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics, University of British Columbia (UBC), conducted two deliberative forums on the topic of human tissue biobanking: The BC Biobank Deliberation (2007) and the BC Biolibrary Deliberation (2009). In both cases, members of the public from across British Columbia were invited to two weekends of deliberation about biobanks. Biobanks are large collections of human biological tissue that are used for research.

Video: Bleckley County Candidate Target of Racial Insults
Johnny Blash's Independence Day was interrupted by a call that the candidate for Bleckley County Sheriff should check on his campaign signs.
One had been vandalized. Later, he learned a second had been as well. "I was surprised that would happen in Bleckley County," Blash said. Below his name on the black and white sign, someone painted over the bottom half with the words "FREE CHICKEN." Blash, a Pulaski County deputy, was on duty when he received the call. Initially, he said he was confused by the meaning. "I had to call a white associate of mine to ask what 'FREE CHICKEN' meant. He said, 'Johnny, you know that's racial.'"
Blash said he hasn't yet been able to fix the signs, which are at opposite ends of Cochran. His opponent in the race, Bleckley County Sheriff Harold Lancaster, is the man in charge of the investigation. Lancaster said neither he nor his camp were responsible for the vandalism. "I don't condone that in any way," he said, "My folks wouldn't even be around people who would stoop that low."
"It's sad that people go off and do stupid things like this," Lancaster said. Blash, a former Bibb County Sheriff's deputy, said he doesn't suspect his opponent. However, he's skeptical that his case will be given the same attention as others. "Things get heated in a race like this," he said. "You have to understand, I am campaigning against (Lancaster), so I would seriously doubt it gets fully investigated." Lancaster disputed his opponent's assumption. "I don't have a bit of trouble doing my job no matter who it is for," he said.
The incumbent said that he thinks the department will soon "get a lead and make an arrest for criminal damage to property."
Lancaster says the graffiti artist would face a misdemeanor charge, criminal damage to property. That comes with a fine up to $1,000 and a maximum sentence of one year. If elected, Blash would be the first African-American sheriff in Bleckley County's 100 year history, but he never expected his campaign to hatch any racial issues.
The vandalism also has people throughout the area clucking.
Jerry Tuck from Cochran says, "I moved here in 1974 and racial prejudice was alive and well beyond my thoughts and imagination. I really thought we had come farther than that."
Blash says the insult won't crack his campaign. He plans to refurbish his signs and continue on with the race.

I don't know how much specifically, but Fireball Mountain bodies normally go for a lot. I'd guess anywhere from 300-450. Im no expert though.

It's an FBM cobra body. If you want to change out the feedneck for a clamping one, it's angel threaded.

$250 at the most. I wouldn't go any higher then that. They aren't overly rare or of the highest quality milling, it probably only has a E1 board also.

Have you ever looked at a logo or name of a business and wondered what the symbols in the corners after the name or logo represented? I am referring to the "TM, SM or ®"? These symbols represent a trademark, which according to the United States Patent Office (USPTO) is "a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others." SM or Service Mark applies to a service rather than a good, but "trademark" can be used to identify either. The USPTO describes these definitions on this page.
The "®" represents a Registered trademark with the USPTO and it is important to note that while you have a trademark awaiting registration, you are not allowed to use the "registered symbol," until you have received confirmation that the Patent Office has filed and registered your image.
The USPTO has created a Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) that you can use to search out other trademarks and find if there is one that is similar to your own. The database contains registered trademarks prior pending applications and helps give you guidelines to be able to search properly.
Daniel Wolper, a former designer of Peavey Electronics, and now runs Wolper Design Consulting. He describes trademarks as, "a TM isn't registered, but you are saying it is unique to your business or that it is your intellectual property so "Peavey" is a ® and 'Innovation. Amplified' was a TM. Those words aren't made up by Peavey, but using 'Innovation. Amplified.' like that is, so its a TM." He goes on to explain further regarding the Peavey tagline, "Peavey could register 'Innovation. Amplified', but that will cost legal fees." Part of the duties Wolper was responsible for was designing packaging for Peavey products.
"A '® or TM' needs to appear once per each side of the package. Technically Peavey wouldn't need the '®' every time; only each time it appears on a sign or ad."
The world of design encounters the uses of 'TM' and '®' symbols on a fairly regular basis, however celebrities and athletes have been known to make attempts to Trademark nicknames or phrases associated with them such as Jeremy Lin, formally with the New York Knicks, but now with the Houston Rockets. In February of 2012, according to an article with CNN Money, it discusses Lin's filing was not the first one to try and trademark, "Linsanity."
Lin is not the only one to file for a trademark on the term, but he stands a good chance of winning it, according to Gary Krugman, a Washington trademark attorney.
"Someone else can't register a trademark if the term points uniquely to a person or institution," Krugman said.
The moral of the story when trademarks and registrations come about is to do your research. Use TESS to find out if someone else has taken the steps to registered something similar to yours, otherwise, be aware that registering does come with a price but also comes with more protection than using the ™ symbol.

PLEASE NOTE: New Objects of Differential rates will be effective as of 1 July 2013 - View full details here.
The office of the Valuer General provides the City with Gross Rental Values (GRV) on a triennial basis. These were applied for the purpose of Rating effective from 1 July 2011, together with the use of ongoing interim valuations from the same source. The overall increase is in line with the expected increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), together with the impact of adjustments to rate differentials to match rates raised from ratepayer classes to applicable costs.
The City has combined the Hotel, Retail and Commercial differential rates in a ratepayer class to be known as Commercial. This arose after a review of the costs attributed to each ratepayer class and takes into account the triennial revaluation of gross rental values pertaining to each category as recently conducted by the Valuer General.
The City of Perth imposes differential rates under the provisions of Section 6.33 of the Local Government Act 1995 on all rateable land within the City according to the predominant purpose for which the land is held or used, as determined by the City. The objects and reasons for the imposition of each differential general rate are:
The residential category covers properties that are used for singular and multi-dwellings. The residential rate is 3.898 cents per dollar of GRV. The residential rate is set at a relatively low level to support the City's aim of encouraging people to reside in the city.
The majority of properties within the City are used for office accommodation. The GRV of the office sector represents the largest percentage of the total rateable values. The City has set a rate for the office sector at 2.565 cents per dollar of GRV.
Vacant Land
The rate of 5.130 cents per dollar of GRV applies to all vacant lands within the district. The higher rate is imposed to discourage holding undeveloped land within the City which reduce the amenity of the area and to encourage it's early development.
This classification has been utilised to consolidate Hotel and Retail with the former Commercial category into one ratepayer class. The category includes wholesalers, warehouses, industrial, entertainment and sporting facilities. The incorporation of the former Hotel category includes hotels, short-stay serviced apartments, hostels, board and lodging accommodation. The Retail sector comprising mainly shops has also now been classed as commercial. All these assets have a common factor in being commercial operations with the object of attracting visitors and tourists to the City to contribute to City vitality. The City supports this ratepayer clause to a material extent with marketing and promotional programmes. The City has set a rate for this sector at 4.876 cents per dollar of GRV.
Minimum Payment
The City imposes one general minimum rate payment that applies to all rateable properties within the City. The minimum payment has increased from $560 to $594 this budget year. The minimum payment which impacts mainly in the residential category has been maintained at a relatively low level within the metropolitan area to support the City's strategy of encouraging living in the city.
Waste Management Service
The City has a separate waste management charge, to encourage waste minimisation. The charges are recorded separately so that ratepayers can easily identify them. In keeping with the "user pays" principle, those ratepayers who wish to make greater demands on this service will also contribute more to maintain it.
- The basic residential waste management charge is $170.00. Registered pensioners who hold a Pensioner Concession Card, or ratepayers who hold both a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card and a WA Seniors Card will receive a 50% rebate on this charge, which is funded by the City of Perth.
- The basic non-residential waste management charge is $246.00.
- Additional services are available if required for $185.00 per service (GST inclusive)
- A 660 litre Bulk bin is $887.00 (GST inclusive)
- Recycling $122.00 (GST inclusive)
These waste management charges are annual charges for each weekly collection.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
GST does not apply to Local Government Rates or the Basic Waste Management Charges. All other Rubbish Service charges, however, are subject to GST.

The City provides the following rates and ownership details:

That's in the nature of the way the code is written. Ken is best to explain.
I'm sure it was done to economize on code, to re-use the same PID algorythm, but the result is that the exhaust is very confusing to configure compared to the intake. In test mode, you need to know that it's backwards or you're lost. It's not 0% you need to start with, but 100%
The exhaust table is at least consistent in that cam minimum position + table = target, but it's slightly confusing needing to write the table in terms of advance when you're trying to retard.
