A recent acquistion of mine is the IC-502, 6 meter sideband transceiver. I want to install Nicad batteries in it but cannot find information on the battery physical size. I know it takes 10 1.5vdc Nicads and they are "C" size but I cannot find documentation on the batteries even in the IC-502 manuals only that there are 10 of em.
So my question is, are they 2/3 "C" or 4/5 "C" or something other?
If memory serves me right, I believe them to be 2/3 "C".
Thanks for any input on this.

I call bull on that one. You don't finish Animal Crossing. Ever. You eventually get sick of it and quit playing, but you never finish it.
I'm pretty sure it was Bully: Scholarship Edition (& that was like a month ago... I may have beaten another since it, but I don't think I have at the moment). 8.5/10
Last new game I completed (two weeks back) Mafia II: 7/10. Entertaining, but no-where near as good as the original. Indecisive ending not good.
Which was completed concurrently with Modern Warfare 2: 3/10. Unoriginal, repetitive, some atrocious level design, story pathetically underdeveloped despite some quite emotional scenes, relies entirely on spectacle of blowing stuff up without any real context. Extremely glad that I borrowed it and therefore didn't waste any money on it.
Last actual game I completed (yesterday, about the eighth time I've played through since release) StarCraft: Brood War: 10/10. RTS happiness is a warm gauss rifle and a hug from a hydralisk. Started playing that back when I finished Wings of Liberty, it's taken months to get through it again. Good times.

Located in the spectacular coastal mountains of British Columbia on the West coast of Canada, Whistler is a short 2hr transfer from the city of Vancouver. Whistler has consistently been voted the number one mountain resort in North America, an accolade that is certainly well justified with an impressive 10.22 metres of snowfall on average each season (a whopping 33.5ft!!). Due to its coastal location the resort does not tend to experience the extreme low temperatures which are often experienced in the interior Rocky mountains, making it a great choice for families. The ski area at Whistler is superb with both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains on your doorstep. The two mountains are interlinked by the breathtaking 3km Peak-to-Peak Gondola, boasting the longest unsupported lift span in the world. It is also the highest lift of its kind with an elevation of 435 metres/1,427 feet. Stunning views and well worth a trip, both for skiers and non skiers alike. The village itself is pretty, with pedestrianised walkways and a great Canadian atmosphere with many shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. There are plenty of activities off the slopes for the non skier, including sleigh rides, husky dog sledding, tubing or snowshoeing.

Mwanza — KAHAMA Shinyanga Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (Kashwasa) faces unprecedented shortage of potential customers, and officials are desperate to reverse the trend.
Just last week, the Kashwasa's Managing Director, Eng. Clement Kivegalo, was quoted by the 'Daily News' as saying his company produces what he described as substantial amount of water supply to target population, but the problem is, "It is a matter of fact that our water is being underutilized because we pump out a lot of water, but there are very few customers connected to the services, and this trend seems to raise our running costs."
Officials say Kashwasa's main objective is to pump water from Lake Victoria to urban centres in Kahama and Shinyanga regions through a long pipeline that runs from the shores of the Lake Victoria to the target areas. The establishment of Kashwasa was in accordance with the Waterworks Act Cap 272.
Kashwasa is currently based in Shinyanga municipality and its main customers include Shinyanga Urban Water Supply and Sewerage Authority, Kahama Water Supply and Sewerage Authority and at least 41 village water committees located in Misungwi and Kwimba district, in Mwanza region, says Eng. Kivegalo.
Establishment of the scheme is part of the Tanzania government endeavour to provide clean water to the people in need. Feasibility study and design of the scheme started in 2003, and were completed in the year 2008 at the cost of 254bn/-. The project was inaugurated in May 2009 by President Jakaya Kikwete.
Experts say the scheme was initially designed to cater for 420,000 people by supplying 80,000,000 litres of water per day, taking into consideration that the water demand keeps on increasing. Thus provisions were made in the design to increase to up to 1,000,000 people consumers expected to use at least 120,0000,000 litres of water per day by the year 2025.
However, it seems that such hypothesis has not yet realized targeted goal as water remains plenty in supply but the demand is staggering. Eng. Kivegalo says that the authority previous supply targeted four districts which include Kwimba, Misungwi, Kahama and municipality of Shinyanga.
The Kashwasa plant is located at Ihelele sub- village in Misungwi district, some 120 kilometres northwest of Shinyanga Municipality, and 100 kilometres from Lake Victoria shores. The Managing Director says Ihelele plant has a capacity to produce about 80 million litres of water per day, but the water that is being consumed doesn't exceed 18 million litres.
"We don't use the two pumps because we don't sell water to individuals directly. We only sell water to the district authorities who in turn sell it to potential customers in respective areas," explained Eng. Kivegalo. "Our relationship with customers is governed by the Bulk water purchase agreement signed by both parties.
More than 90 per cent of water we supply is consumed by urban dwellers and the remaining 10 per cent is consumed by rural population. Kashwasa is also regulated by the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura)," says Eng. Kivegalo.
The engineer says the authority serves a population of 400,000 people. Average demand is approximated to stand at 31,000,000 litres per day, while consumption for all customers per day stands at an average of 18,000,000 litres. "This is a very serious challenge for us as we are obliged to bear all fixed costs at 23 per cent consumption level.
The only pragmatic way to address this challenge is by connecting more customers and escalate consumption of water at least 50 per cent of the installed capacity," says Eng Kivegalo. "The difference in water demand and actual consumption is due to the fact that distribution network especially in rural areas is not adequate to cover entire population within a walking distance of 400 metres from the water point as per national policy of 2002.
Each village has only one public kiosk which serves a maximum of 500 people per day," says Eng. Kivegalo. Officials say Shinyanga and Kahama towns have a rectangular storage tanks which receive water by gravity from the main storage tank at Ihelele.
Each tank has a capacity of 18,000,000 litres. In both towns, there are post chlorination for online monitoring of chloride residual to ensure that it is always within acceptable range to safeguard water from any pathogenic organisms. Lake Victoria Basin Board Chairman Sariro Mwita who also visited the plant few days ago thinks that the authority has to a great extent succeeded to fulfil its core responsibility as, "Kashwasa is actually doing a very good job to serve its customers despite the shortage of customers currently facing it."
The other challenges facing the authority include, sabotages on the transmission pipeline; frequent breakdowns of washout and air valves, especially with butterfly valve types; inadequate revenue collection to meet operational costs and lack of tools and equipment for carrying out repair and maintenance activities, according to Eng. Kivegalo.
Major achievements recorded include, improvement of security in pipelines' distribution areas as it was reported that the number of vandalism related incidents have gone down from 79 per cent to less than nine (9) per cent between 2009 and 2011 respectively. The authority bears all operational costs with exception of half of the electric bills which is paid by the government through the Minsitry of Water, he explained.
Kashwasa's future plans include, extending the water distribution network to other areas such, as Tabora municipality and other small towns of Igunga, Nzega, Kagongwa, Isaka, Tindu and Muhunze. Under the same initiative, all villages located within a distance of 12 kilometres of the main distribution pipeline will also be connected to the scheme, says Eng. Kivegalo.

New book connects state parks to peopleWhen Chris Niskanen and Doug Ohman set out to write and photograph a book about Minnesota's state parks, they took a novel approach.
By: Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune
When Chris Niskanen and Doug Ohman set out to write and photograph a book about Minnesota's state parks, they took a novel approach.
As a result "Prairie, Lake, Forest — Minnesota's State Parks" is nothing like a typical guide book. Niskanen, outdoor editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, put his considerable reporting skills to work and wrote rich, readable stories about regular folks who visit the state parks.
Ohman, a professional photographer from New Hope, Minn., found plenty of beauty in the parks but, like Niskanen, also captured people in the act of using them.
The result is more like a Ken Burns documentary than a guide book.
We asked Niskanen and Ohman a few questions about the making of the book. Here are their thoughts:
Q: How did the two of you decide on the approach to the book?
Niskanen: [Doug] and I sat in a room one day and explored the common themes that the parks have — waterfalls, camping, trees, geology, Minnesota history. Once we had those themes, we decided we would pull together parks that share some of those themes and write the inside story of those parks.
Q: Did you visit all 66 state parks?
Ohman: This is two years of my life. I spent time at every park, hiked the trails, walked the campgrounds, went to the water's edge. I climbed the rocks to really immerse myself into that park.
Q: Did you apply your reporting talents in gathering information for the book?
Niskanen: Yes. Once I drilled down into each topic, I found an amazing array of people who wanted to talk about these things. For example, I decided if I was going to write about kayaking, I needed to take a trip up to the North Shore and interview people as they came off the rivers. That was really a bountiful experience, because in one day I had an armload of great stories about people who have this passion for kayaking. It just so happens that some of the best kayaking rivers in the Midwest are in all these state parks.
Q: How did you approach the photographs for this book?
Ohman: I'm primarily a historic architecture photographer. I had to swallow hard and say, "Can I actually do this?" First, I talked to the park staff and asked them, "If I could represent your park in three pictures, what would they be?" Along the way, though, I was amazed at what they didn't tell me about.
Q: How has writing the book shaped your view of setting aside public lands?
Niskanen: A lot of the parks were created through a lot of political wrangling. They're the same battles we're having today in the Legislature over wildlife lands. I think the lesson we can learn from the state parks we have now is that nobody has ever looked back and said, "Gee, I wish we hadn't created Tettegouche State Park or … Temperance River State Park."
Q: In addition to taking lots of gorgeous photos, you also captured people using the parks in your photos.
Ohman: I wanted people to understand that these parks are our playgrounds, and to show them without that misses that element. I photographed whitewater kayakers, people rappelling at Tettegouche, fishing at Glendalough. I was trying to capture the spirit of the human element.
Q: Were there any little-known parks that really surprised you?
Ohman: One thing that struck me is how little some of the parks get used. Everyone goes to Itasca. Everyone goes to Split Rock. Yes, go to them. But don't overlook the little ones like Schoolcraft, south of Grand Rapids, and Buffalo River between Detroit Lakes and Moorhead. That's what I hope this book will do, take people to places they've never heard of before.
Q: Can you give us an example of how people's lives have been affected by state parks?
Niskanen: Here's a quick little story about a book I signed. A middle-aged woman came up to me, saw the book and wanted to buy one for her elderly father. She told me how her father was a stoic guy who didn't say a whole lot, but that she had gotten to know him on their many camping trips to the parks. I asked her how I should sign the book. She said, "To Joe — Thanks for taking the kids camping." That made my day. It made my week.

Microsoft has announced plans to streamline its mid-market server product line, including an end to development for Windows Essential Business Server (EBS).The company cited emerging technologies such as cloud computing and virtualisation as influencing its decision."Four years ago, we committed to building an infrastructure solution for the mid-market. Windows EBS was the first of its kind to meet the unique needs of mid-market IT pros, but since that time the market landscape has naturally changed," said Microsoft."Today, we announced the decision to streamline our server product portfolio and will discontinue future development of EBS effective 30 June 2010."Microsoft said that it is aware that the decision could cause problems for some users, but claimed that it will help companies to adapt by offering a limited free offer on its component software."We recognise that ending future editions of EBS could result in additional cost and complexity for our EBS customers.

People Are Not Like Toilet Paper
What the heck does that mean, people aren't like toilet paper?
Well, let me tell you!
Throughout my life and career, I've ended up time and time again in a place where I just felt like a used up piece of toilet paper being tossed down the drain. Most of the time never being told why I'm being put there. And in my story, I've fought to gain clarity and process all the information, the who, the what, and most importantly the why! Usually with no results.
The wonderful thing I have learned to take from all those experiences though is a determination to never treat people as an object or something to be just used and tossed down the drain.
You see its become an epidemic of sorts in our culture to just use up resources and toss them aside once consumed. Whether thats a plastic bottle, newspaper, coffee cup, or one of the most important resources out there, PEOPLE! I have read countless numbers of books, where authors talk about establishing a culture that values people and, how thru finding the right people and valuing them correctly, will lead to success and the results we all want.
But today where this takes me and where I'd like you to go is think about those people you touch each and every day, whether those people are the baristas behind the counter, or the teller at the bank, or even the assistant outside your office. Ask yourself, do you place their value solely on the function or role they serve, or do you actually see them, understanding that they really aren't as replaceable and can't be just tossed aside. Do you see them as the fingerprints of The Father and love them the way the gospel commands or do you simply experience the momentary and trivial frustrations and in your heart wish for their disposal?
It has become a passion of my heart over these years, in part because of my story, to be intentional this year to value and esteem people, and see their inherent dignity and worth. I challenge you to the same. I want to be a man who impacts culture and speaks into life by valuing and loving people not by abusing them and tossing them aside, figuratively or not!
Will you join me? Will you be a man or woman, who just loves people, and calls out the injustice of the abuses of people?
After all, we're all in this thing together! Shouldn't we live like it…

Young adults (Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger) encounter a houseful of demented butchers who chase them with chain saws and other deadly tools.
After watching a truly frightening horror movie, we're often comforted by the knowledge that it was "only a movie," that the twisted, psychotic killer that kept us on the edge of our seats was only a creation of a screenwriter's active imagination. Sometimes, however, truth is stranger — and more terrifying — than fiction. After the demented fantasies of a quiet, unassuming man in rural Wisconsin were brought to light in the 1950s, his heinous crimes traumatized the country and he became the prototype for psycho killers for decades to come, ultimately inspiring three of the greatest horror movies of all time.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 4/21/12
After a rough beginning to the season, it appears James Shields has turned things around. The Tampa Bay starter tries for his third straight win Saturday night when the Rays continue their home series with the Minnesota Twins. Coming off a 2011 in which he set career bests with 16 wins and a 2.82 ERA, Shields (2-0, 3.38 ERA) opened 2012 by allowing six runs in five innings of a 7-6 loss to the New York Yankees on April 6. Since then, he gave up two runs in eight innings of a 4-2 victory at Detroit on April 11 and yielded just four singles in 8 1-3 innings of Monday's 1-0 win at Boston. "Shields didn't give us much to hit," Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia told the Rays' official website. "He was on the corners, throwing all his pitches for strikes." Shields is 3-2 with a 4.69 ERA in nine starts against the Twins, including 2-0 with a 3.90 ERA in four at Tropicana Field. He hopes to help the Rays (7-7) rebound after they fell 5-4 to Minnesota in Friday's series opener. "W...

Spuds: better dry than wetA year ago, area potato growers were still weeks away from beginning a below-average harvest. This year, they're close to starting what promises to be a good one.
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
INKSTER, N.D. — A year ago, area potato growers were still weeks away from beginning a below-average harvest. This year, they're close to starting what promises to be a good one.
"This year is so much better," said Chuck Gunnerson, president of the East Grand Forks, Minn.-based Northern Plains Potato Growers Association. "The irrigated potatoes look very good. With the dryland (nonirrigated) potatoes, we're looking at average yields and good quality."
Gunnerson was among more than 150 people who attended the association's annual Field Day on Aug. 23. The event included field tours and presentations by area potato experts in Larimore, Inkster, and Hoople, N.D.
Last year, the area's potato crop was hurt by heavy spring rains, which delayed planting and led crops to mature later than usual. That caused potato fields to yield, on balance, 15 to 20 percent less than normal, Gunnerson said.
This year, the mild spring allowed growers to plant potatoes earlier than usual. That's given the crop more time to grow and "bulk up," as growers call it. Irrigated potatoes, in particular, have benefitted, said Carl Hoverson, a Larimore, N.D., farmer and chairman of the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association.
"The irrigated potatoes look great," he said.
Nonirrigated potatoes generally have held up well despite the hot, dry summer. Many, though not all, area potato fields benefitted from rains in July during a key period in the crop's development, Gunnerson said.
More rain now would bring only limited benefit for potato growth, but cool nights would help spuds bulk up before harvest, Gunnerson and others say.
Rain, however, would help soften the ground before harvest.
Area growers also appreciated not being hit with late blight, a crop disease that potentially can hammer potatoes' yields and quality. The disease had popped up in the area in each of the previous three years.
Although area growers have learned to manage the disease, its absence this year was a welcome change, Hoverson said.
Prices, research
The Red River Valley of western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota is the nation's leading producer of red potatoes and the only region that produces in volume for the chip, fresh, seed and process markets.
The price area farmers receive for red potatoes has fallen to about $6 per hundredweight from about $30 per hundredweight a year ago, Gunnerson said.
That reflects good harvests of red potatoes elsewhere in the country, he said.
Other types of potatoes raised in the area were sold under contract, giving some financial protection to farmers who grow them, he said.
He described prices in those contracts as "fair."
Area producers are optimistic despite the huge drop in the price of red potatoes, said Justin Dagen, a Karlstad, Minn., potato grower.
"We still believe in the future of potatoes and our industry," he said.
Dagen was the 2011 president of the National Potato Council, which promotes the economic health of U.S. potato growers on federal legislative, regulatory, environmental and trade issues. He's also the current Minnesota Potato council representative on the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association's board of directors.
Hoverson said research at Inkster and elsewhere in the region holds great potential for potato growers. The work includes new potato varieties designed specifically for this part of the country.

Viceroy Snowmass Rating: 4.5 Pearls
Viceroy Snowmass is easily the most luxurious resort in Snowmass Village, and is packed with top-notch amenities, including a 7,000-square-foot spa with stunning relaxation room, a solid fitness center with modern Technogym equipment, and a lovely pool area with heated saline pool, cabanas, and fire pit. It also offers phenomenal ski valet service (valets will take care of everything from scheduling lessons to putting your boots on for you), plenty of children's activities, and a prime ski-in, ski-out location. There's a daily resort fee, and you'll have to pay for valet, but that's to be expected at a resort of this caliber.
Hotel Jerome, an Auberge Resort Rating: 4.5 Pearls
The Hotel Jerome is a piece of Aspen history, and offers 94 uniquely decorated Deluxe Rooms and one-bedroom Suites. First opened in 1889, the hotel showcases its Victorian-style roots with original furnishings, lavish wallpapers, marble bathrooms, and a grandiose lobby featuring tufted velvet lounge chairs and marble columns. The popular bar dates back to pre-Prohibition days, and offers signature cocktails to match. Despite self-proclaimed "luxury" accommodations (and celebrity clientele), the hotel doesn't have a spa -- but guests have access to The Aspen Club & Spa's services, which is a three-minute drive away.
Sky Hotel, a Kimpton Hotel Rating: 4.0 Pearls
The Sky Hotel sits on prime Aspen property, directly at the bottom of the Silver Queen Gondola with one of the best ski-in/ski-out locations in the valley. While rooms are on the small side for the price, they reflect Kimpton's signature style, with a modern take on lodge decor, a daily wine hour, an excellent deck with pool and Jacuzzi, and one of the most happening apres-ski scenes in Aspen. Amenities for guests' four-legged friends are plentiful, too, and unlike at other resorts, there's no fee or size restriction, easily making this the most pet-friendly hotel in Aspen.
The Gant Rating: 4.0 Pearls
A popular choice among families, The Gant sits near the base of Aspen Mountain and features 140 one- to four-bedroom condos with Aspen-inspired decor (leather and wood accents, rich colors, and scenic mountain artwork). The hotel is on a large piece of land, and has two heated outdoor pools with accompanying Jacuzzis, as well as five tennis courts, so it remains lively in both the winter and summer months. But the hotel is farther from the center of town than some other resorts (although it remains within walking distance), so those hoping to be in the middle of the action may consider the nearby Aspen Square Condominium Hotel.

Bordlerlands 2: Game of the Year Edition on the way?
If rumors are true, Gearbox Software could be readying a Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition.
IGN was sent a photo of the alleged GotY book, from a GameStop source, which highlights "over $100 in content value." It's believed that the GotY edition will include the following:
- Creature Slaughter Dome
- Psycho Pack
- Captain Scarlet's And Her Pirate's Booty
- Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
- Mister Torgue's Campaign Of Carnage
- Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep
- Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade
- Mechromancer Pack
- Creature Slaughter Dome
Given the sheer number of add-ons and content packs for Borderlands 2 since it's release last year, it only makes sense that some sort of Game of the Year edition would be released with all of it included. Interestingly, this alleged special edition won't include any of the upcoming Borderlands 2 DLC -- like the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2: Digistruct Peak Challenge -- which was revealed back in July.

MONTREAL—Canadian jazz singer and actress Lynne Hamilton was brought to tears Saturday as she listened to an emotional performance by soprano Pi-Ju Huang of the Shen Yun Performing Arts.
Ms. Hamilton attended the Jan. 5, 2013 evening Shen Yun performance at Place des Arts and said Huang was exceptional.
"She was striking. I loved it. It moved me to tears when she sang," said Ms. Hamilton during the intermission.
"The power of her voice, the exactitude of her notes, she didn't miss anything and she conveyed her emotions very well with much, much control."
Ms. Hamilton is a blues and jazz singer from Quebec, and has performed at venues across the province for nearly two decades. In 2005 she released her first CD of jazz covers, Let it Breathe, and is currently working on an album of her own compositions. She also regularly performs lead roles with theatre companies in Quebec.
Ms. Hamilton said the profound message of the soprano's song, Do Not Lose Your Way, as well as Huang's skill in conveying complex emotions is what moved her to tears.
"She didn't want to waste her life," she explained. "I think she felt sad about the wasting of our lives and being reincarnated over and over again, she felt saddened by that."
According to the Shen Yun website, vocalists perform in bel canto operatic singing style with Chinese lyrics—a difficult musical feat unparalleled in the world.
"The lyrics are all original compositions. Brimming with philosophical reflection about human life and deep layers of meaning, they traverse the boundaries of nation, race, and culture and have been fondly received and appreciated the world over," states the website.
New York-based Shen Yun is a world-renowned classical Chinese dance and music company that aims to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.
The show features a collection of story-based dance as well as vocal performances that aim to capture the essence of China's divinely-inspired culture.
Speaking from her experience as an actress in musical theatre, Ms. Hamilton was deeply impressed with Shen Yun's precise coordination between different elements such as a digital animated backdrop, dozens of dancers, props, a live orchestra, and hundreds of costume changes.
"I remember putting on productions and it's difficult. The way they time themselves precisely is quite remarkable. It's excellent," she said.
She said the dancers played their characters exceptionally well, portraying a wide range of emotions through dance.
"They're beautiful. They portray their emotions very well, they portray their hand gestures, their facial emotions, especially the Tibetan musical when they were happy and energetic. It came across to the audience very, very well," she said, adding the handmade costumes in Shen Yun were exquisite.
"The costumes are gorgeous. The costumes are beautiful. Absolutely spectacular," she said.
"The women with their long, long sleeves and the way that they used them to express their emotions—Very beautiful."
Reporting by NTD Television and Justina Wheale
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. Shen Yun's New York Company will play five shows in Montreal Jan. 3-6 and one show in Quebec City Jan. 8 before going on to Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, and Toronto in its tour of eastern Canada.

We recognize our responsibility to reduce consumption of water, waste and energy in our hotels and corporate offices and are focused on integrating greater environmental sustainability throughout our business. We were the first major hotel chain to calculate our carbon footprint and launch a plan to improve
energy efficiency, conserve water and support projects that
reduce deforestation.
We use Energy and Environmental Action (EEAP) plans, our best-practice auditing tool, to help our properties achieve energy and water reduction goals.
Database and monitoring systems help us track consumption and
monitor progress against goals.
Working in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) and the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI), Marriott is empowering our hotel development partners
to build green hotels.
Marriott has 106 LEED-registered hotels, and 31
LEED-certified hotels.
In 2011, we developed the first LEED Volume Program (LVP) to provide a streamlined path to certification for the hospitality industry through a green hotel prototype.
The LEED Volume Program that Marriott offers can save our owners 25 percent in energy and water consumption for the life of their buildings and should recover their initial investment in two-to-six years.
We have teamed-up with our vendors to provide price-neutral products that conserve energy, reduce and divert waste and are comprised of more sustainable materials. Low-energy light bulbs, showerheads that use less water, "room-ready" towels, recycled key cards and pens, and biodegradable laundry bags are just some of the products that help our hotels meet our sustainability goals.
Marriott is a founding member of the Hospitality Sustainable Purchasing Consortium (HSPC), which measures the sustainability of suppliers and their products through an industry-wide index.
We provide guidance to our hotels to encourage sustainability in our kitchens through actions such as purchasing organic and responsibly sourced food, planting herb gardens, sourcing seafood caught in a sustainable manner and recycling cooking oil.
Our efforts are most successful when we create awareness among associates and guests and inspire them to partner with us on sustainability initiatives. We invite our guests and associates to support the environment through everyday actions at home, at work and while traveling.
Each April, our associates around the world take part in Environmental Awareness month, communicating their environmental commitment, raising awareness and volunteering in local clean-up projects.
Our brand-specific linen and towel re-use policies give guests the opportunity to join in our water and energy conservation efforts.
Our event managers are required to complete a certification in "green meetings" and more than 1,000 associates are
currently certified.
To help mitigate the direct and indirect environmental impacts of our hotels, we are investing in a portfolio of innovative conservation initiatives that are part of our "Spirit to Preserve" environmental strategy.
Marriott has contributed more than $2 million to the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS) and raised nearly $300,000 through our partners, guests and associates to protect 1.4 million acres of rainforest in Brazil.
A collaboration between Marriott and Conservation International, Nobility of Nature protects the headwaters of Asia's Water Tower and assists rural Chinese communities with building sustainable
businesses that put less stress on the environment.

I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a treecomments (4) September 28th, 2012 in blogs
Reader Steve Butler found himself visited by The Muse last week, and he sent us the result - an ode to the cabinetmaker. Enjoy!
A cabinetmaker's hands move over the wood
Checking to see if the pattern is good.
Making sure that the grain lines up as it should
The cabinetmaker's hands move over the wood.
The design in his head had troubled his brain
But he smiled as he worked when each answer came
Passing wood through his saw he reached for his plane
Joining the corners and squaring the frame
Fitting a drawer 'til it's trim and it's true
And easily glides before he gets through
Or adjusting a hinge to give it its due
Restoring the work or making it new
Beauty and strength of wood are his trade
As it pleases the eye in the things that he's made
Taking pride in his tools when honing each blade
Clearing his bench where they're carefully laid
His shop smells of oak, cherry and pine
Waxes and oils his pieces refined
Bringing to life things well designed
Withstanding the test of the passage of time
The beauty inside is released as he sands
The man seems to know what his heart understands
With his eye for proportion and the skill it demands
He passes his spirit through the tools in his hands
A tree in the forest asleep as it stood
'Til the cabinetmaker's hands awakened the wood.

This unique site focuses on the
use of newspaper articles, birth notices, obituaries, etc., and a variety of
original documents in building your family history. We include *anyone*
from the County, not just related families.

Research in "Little Washington," Washington County,
Pennsylvania is enhanced by having genealogy (often misspelled geneology)
and family history information available on the internet.
This site has genealogy information on many Washington County
families, including data from newspapers (birth, death, marriage
notices, obituaries, missing persons, adoption and guardianship, probate
and deed notices, and surname-only items.) Links are provided for
biographies, family trees and histories. Use the site- search to
find surnames or individuals.

[Skip down to bottom of page for links to sections.]
The City of Washington is the County Seat of Washington County and is
located at 40°10'30" North, 80°15'2" West (40.174959,
-80.250634). It lies to the south of Allegheny County, and is
north of Greene County. At one time, parts of both of
these counties were included in Washington County.
Those born and raised in the county will recognized the often-used
reference to "Little Washington." Others grew up calling
Washington, Pennsylvania "Washpa" (said just the same as 'ma'
or 'pa'). Washington and Washpa of course was pronounced by
some locals as "Worsh-ington" and "Worsh-pa" (where
a washcloth was a "worsh-cloth." and even George Washington,
whose statue is atop the Courthouse, was not immune to having his name
altered in like manner.)
I was born and raised in Washington and learned how to do genealogy
using the County Courthouse. I still had my Worshington
"accent" when I moved to Ohio in 1985 and I caused quite a few
snickers when others asked where I was from. I was repeatedly told
I definitely had a SW PA "accent" based on other ways I spoke.
Of course, asking for "pop" instead of a "soda" was
also a dead-giveaway that I wasn't born in Ohio!
Tucked in rolling hills, Washington County PA began as heavy forests
turned to farmlands that were toiled over by Germans, Scots, Irish
and other immigrants. The discovery of oil brought great wealth to
some families, with oil derricks dotting private lands across the
county. One very interesting old postcard shows the hillside above
Prospect Avenue with numerous derricks spread across that area, just
blocks from the southern end of town. And with the County
sitting atop the rich bituminous coal field of the Pittsburgh Coal Seam,
coal companies grew wealthy by exploiting cheap labor of miners who
often traveled from overseas for jobs. The plentiful oil wells
dried mostly, but mining is still in operation in the county, although
more jobs today are in the service industry and farming (or dual
occupations). But, throughout harsh conditions of every
kind, farmers have always persevered. Washington farms were widely
known for the excellent wool sheared from Merino sheep which were raised
in quantity on many, many farms. In olden days, the National
Road or "The Pike" was a noisy scene of men on horseback and
wagon taking their herds and flocks (sheep, cattle, hogs and other
livestock) for river shipments at Brownsville. Farmers also grew a
variety of crops, and many farms included orchards. Farmers lived
by the farm, and the weather which often controlled whether they, their
families, their animals, and ultimately, whether their farms would
Washington is often overlooked by genealogy researchers.
But, the county served as a gateway point in travel from eastern
locations to the west from the 1700s through the early 1900s. Family
groups migrated into and out of the county in waves during almost each
decade for many families (bt. 1790 to 1880). There was no set pattern to
migration. Sometimes whole families and relatives moved together,
or sometimes it was individual families or parts of families. Age
was not a criteria either in the pattern: Some families included
everyone, while in other families, the "older generation"
stayed behind while the young adults moved on.
Although not easy, families traveled much more frequently than many
researchers realize and often owned land in two states at one time.
If your family is found in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky or
Tennessee, you may find braches of your family had either passed through
or stayed in Washington County. Consult county histories in
various states for biographies; these may give clues pointing you back
to southwestern Pennsylvania. Of course, theses folks had often
migrated from eastern Pennsylvania, Virginia, or Maryland into the lower
corner of PA. But even if they were only in SW PA for a short
time, they may have left records of their time in Washington county or
nearby areas.
My own research has extended from SW PA (Washington, Fayette and
Greene Cos.) eastward to Bedford, Lancaster and York Cos., PA., on to
Frederick Co., MD (earliest records so far)...to WVA, OH, IN, IL, KS,
CA... and recently over to NJ. In researching my family, I became
interested in the church originally known as German Baptists (Dunkard)
- now called Church of the Brethren. I have gathered quite a bit
of information on many families who lived in the area of the County
called Ten Mile. I have collected copies of original documents
since 1983 and inherited documents which my grandmother collected from
1970-2000. My co-researchers were my sister, Catherine
L. Caldwell and grandmother, Ruth
Elizabeth Lane McGary, who were both fantastic genealogists.
Our grandmother taught me and my sisters the hobby (passion) of
I welcome submissions from researchers whose families lived in
Washington County and stayed - or from researchers whose families moved
- part or in whole - away from Washington County. Only by seeing
which families moved where can a more complete migration pattern be

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala dies: Oscar-winning screenwriter of 'A Room With a View' was 85
Oscar-winning screenwriter and novelist Ruth Prawer Jhabvala has died at age 85, the Associated Press reports. Her daughter, Firoza Jhabvala, confirms her death in New York, after a long illness.
Jhabvala's writing career began with a series of novels about her life in India. She was later approached by Merchant Ivory Productions to turn one of the novels into a movie. "The Householder" was released in 1963. She went on to write 22 films total for the production company, winning two Academy Awards.
Her Oscars were a result of adapting E.M. Forster novels "Howards End" and "A Room With a View." She received a third nomination for her adaptation of "The Remains of the Day" in 1993. Her last screenplay was for 2008's "The City of Your Final Destination," starring Anthony Hopkins and Laura Linney.
A statement from Merchant Ivory Productions calls Jhabvala's death "a significant loss to the global film community." The statement reads, "Ruth Prawer Jhabvala has been a beloved member of the Merchant Ivory family since 1960, comprising one-third of our indomitable trifecta that included director James Ivory and the late producer Ismail Merchant."
She is survived by her husband, three daughters, and six grandchildren.

Anthony Pettis request to fight featherweight champion Jose Aldo just moments after winning the UFC lightweight title might have been a tad premature.
UFC President Dana White revealed Saturday night that Pettis suffered a knee injury during his title-winning performance at UFC 164.
Pettis put forth a masterful performance in the evenings main event from the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee en route to lifting the lightweight title from Benson Henderson, although it was Smooth who took the initiative in the early going. Henderson smothered Pettis against the cage in search of a takedown and chopped away at the legs of Showtime with short kicks and knees.Anthonys knee popped in the fight, White said at the post-fight press conference. I dont know whats going to happen, so theres no sense in even talking about another fight right now.
This marks the second knee issue for Pettis this year, who saw a featherweight title shot against Aldo evaporate thanks to a damaged LCL in his right knee. However, Pettis said he never lost the belief that he would wear UFC gold.Henderson threw a kick, and I went to check it with my left leg. He hit right in the crook of the knee, and I felt it go back and forth, said Pettis, who had not yet had the injury diagnosed. I stepped on it, and it was hurting a little bit. When he had me on the cage, I was going with one leg down, because it was starting to lock up. Well find out pretty soon when I get an MRI.
After getting some distance from Henderson, Pettis went to work with brutal body kicks that pushed Smooth backward. Though Showtime would end up on his back after a failed cartwheel kick attempt, the development proved auspicious, as the Roufusport product locked up a tight armbar and forced Henderson to relinquish his belt via verbal submission.I envisioned this for seven months. Ever since I beat Donald Cerrone, all I dreamed about was that belt getting wrapped around me. Im never going to let it go to the judges again, said Pettis. I learned that from Clay Guida. He took me down and stayed on top of me for three rounds, and I lost the fight. I wasnt in trouble. There are ways to win without having to finish somebody, but Im not that guy. Im going to finish everybody I fight.
Pettis triumph marks the lightweights second win over Henderson, whom he beat more than two years ago for the World Extreme Cagefighting title in a Fight of the Year nominee. Though Pettis said that victory will always be significant for him, capturing the top title in the sport takes the cake.Im a mixed martial artist. Im good everywhere. I think a lot of people forgot that I have good jiu-jitsu off my back, said Pettis. Im always looking to attack. I got to secure the position, and I thought he was going to rip his arm out, but I got deep enough where I had his elbow nice and tight. He tried to roll with it, but I found the angle, and I heard him say, Tap.
This is the NFL or NBA of mixed martial arts, said Pettis. Winning the WEC title meant a lot to me. I was very young, and I fought Ben a year and a half into [my] WEC [run]. Hes a great champion. Hes very respectful, and he never does dumb things out there. Now that were both in the UFC and I won this belt, its amazing. Its something I really tried hard to do, and I finally accomplished it.

Tent City discussion continues in Hillsborough County
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Last night In Tampa, neighbors opposed to a proposed tent city to house 250 people in the East Lake Park District east of Tampa kept the pressure up at a Zoning Master Hearing.
Catholic Charities has proposed using 12 acres of church-owned land off East Hillsborough Avenue near I-4 for about 250 tents and 6-foot by 8-foot wooden sheds known as casitas. It would be similar to the Pinellas Hope tent city near Clearwater.
In order to reassure concerned citizens in the neighborhood, Catholic Charities announced a series of changes in its original request to rezone the land and get the support of the County Commission, who will decide the issue in October.
Kathy Bryant is a critic of the proposed tent city. Bryant said she wanted a medical assessment for all of those who officially enter the Tent City, and she wanted a Code of Behavior.
Crystal Range from East Lake Park was not moved by changes made by Catholic Charities.
Hal Hart has been one of the spokesman for East Lake Park residents. He disparaged Pinellas Hope, the tent city created in Pinellas County by the same organization trying to provide housing in Hillsborough.
Hart also quoted the Executive Director of the Hillsborough County Homeless Coalition, Rayme Knuckles, of being critical of any homeless institution that would house as many as 250 people.
Hearing officer Scarola is expected to file his recommendation on the changes to commissioners next month.comments powered by Disqus

Andy Oakley of Bristol-based AO Pro Finish Plastering explains how he started up as a sole trader
"I started out as a sole trader under the name AO Pro Finish Plastering in 2006. I'd already been to college to do an NVQ level three apprenticeship and then I worked for a firm for two years. Because the work was subcontracted, I was already registered with HM Revenue & Customs [HMRC] as self-employed before striking out on my own.
"When I initially phoned HMRC to register as self-employed, I was asked to give my name, address, date of birth, nature of my work, start date and National Insurance number. Afterwards I went to the local tax office to give them proof of my identity. It's dead easy to start up as a sole trader, plus, you can start work straight away – unless you need to apply for a licence.
"Rather than setting up a limited company, I became a sole trader because it's easier, cheaper and there's less admin to do, plus, my personal financial liability is limited, so I don't need the protection being a limited company grants. Maybe in the future, if the business grows considerably, I might change to a limited company.
"Even as a sole trader, I can still take on staff. I don't employ anyone at the moment, so I just have to make sure I earn enough to pay my wages and tax. Sometimes I ask other self-employed tradesmen to help out, if a job is too big for me.
"I had some inheritance money, so I used that for initial advertising and to buy insurance, a van and some tools. I had to get public liability insurance, but I also took out accident insurance, which covers me if I have to take time off if I have a serious injury. Obviously, I had to insure my van, too.
"As a sole trader, you're personally responsible for debts if your business goes under. I try to keep a constant stream of work coming in and I put money aside as back-up in case the work dries up.
"I keep records of jobs I've worked on and how much I've been paid, which is vital when it's time to work out how much tax I must pay. I write all that down as I go along, as well as retaining sales receipts as proof of all purchases the business makes.
"I pay an accountant to fill in my self-assessment form. I don't have the time or knowledge to fill it in myself. I'd rather pay him to do it, while I concentrate on what I'm good at – plastering.
"I advertised in directories such as the Yellow Pages and Thomson. You pay a fee for the year and they sort out the ad for you. The biggest mistake I made was spending too much on a big advert in the Yellow Pages. Having smaller adverts in more directories and sending out leaflets locally would have been more effective.
"Most of my business comes from word-of-mouth. I started out doing jobs for friends of the family, they then recommended me to people they knew and the work has just grown from there. I haven't done any online marketing yet, but I would like to create a website in the future so that people can see photographs of the jobs I've done."

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I've used Wells Fargo online banking for quite a while now. Until today,
I've been able to login and access all functions using Mozilla on
Windows 98 and Windows 2000, as well as using KDE and GNOME on Linux.
Never had trouble. (In the past, I've also sucessfully used Konqueror,
although not recently.)
However, today when attempting to access my account information from a
Win2k machine at work, my connection was refused. At first, I thought
they were having ssl issues or something; but when the problem persisted
for several hours (and when I was able to log in sucessfully using
Internet Explorer), I guessed that this was a policy change rather than a
technical issue.
To see if my concern that Mozilla not be refused could be addressed, I
filled out a tech support request (using Mozilla! Apparently, only the
ssl stuff is restricted...) but received no reply after several hours.
I then called their customer support number (800-956-4442, for the
curious) to ask what was up.
Essentially, I was told that Wells Fargo only supports Internet Explorer,
Netscape Navigator, and Safari. After some discussion, the third tech
with whom I spoke actually sounded convinced that *he* should be using
Mozilla instead of IE... but my issue remains unresolved. I asked that
my inquiry about the support for *standards-based* browsers be escalated,
and was told that it would be; further, I was told that he would "have
someone call [me] back".
Has anyone else experienced this kind of reluctance on the part of large
corporations to support standards? If you have, have you taken or
considered taking action quickly so that Linux users are not left without
a wide selection of online banking resources?

He eats and eats, and because it's a JCVD movie, some people in the diner don't take to kindly to him, so they decide they'd rather kick his a**. However, JCVD, between bites of food, manhandles the angry patrons with effective kicks and punches. He pleads with the mob, says, "I just want to eat."
