The other day, as I woke up in the morning, I wondered: "Mohammed Atta"? What sort of name is that? The first word that sprung to my mind was: "attaboy"! As in: "That's a good boy!". Well, this much I knew of this British / American expression. Here's a post to be found on the "ENGLISH LANGUAGE & USAGE" WEBSITE:
Here's another linguistic definition of "attaboy":"ATTABOY"
It comes from "That's a good boy," through a series of shortenings.
That's a good boy.
That's a boy. (or, "That's the boy")
'at's a boy.
atta boy.

."Attaboy" means praise or encouragement, often as a result of a discrete action or specific instance of praiseworthy behavior
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthre ... &langid=14
Ok, so we may say that "attaboy" goes hand in hand with "praiseworthy" behavior. Can we not? I think we can. Alright, so let's now check out the original meaning behind the name "Mohammed" (or Muhammad) :
Oh, how jolly funny - isn't it?
Ladies and gents, introducing to you - our very special Chief Hijacker:
"Mr Praiseworthy Praiseworthy" :
I don't know about you - but every now and then - I get this uncomfortable feeling that the 9/11 scriptwriters
were a twisted bunch of silly nerds borrowed from the producers of MEL BROOKS and the MONTY PYTHON lot.
But there's more.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/WWII-British-ATA ... 1323025839
See, in World War II, the "attaboys" was the nickname given to the "Air Transport Auxiliaries" (ATA), a bunch of pilots whose flying missions were strictly limited to DELIVERING airplanes to the battlefields. The "attaboys", in fact, never engaged themselves did in any warfare, air battles or bombings. They just DELIVERED the planes... Get it?
ATA : "The ATA trained its pilots only to ferry planes, rather than to perfection on every type. For example aerobatics and blind flying were not taught and pilots were explicitly forbidden from doing either, even if capable of doing so. The objective of the ATA was to deliver aircraft safely, and that meant taking no unnecessary risks."
CODE NAMES & RAF VOCABULARY : http://www.associations.rafinfo.org.uk/code_names.htm
"attaboy : - member of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) many of whom were Americans."
Attaboy, Mohammed! You delivered that "Flight 11" on 9/11 just nicely - without firing a single shot!
One can't say that the Nutwork doesn't have a (however perverse and warped) sense of humor - painful as it is to admit.

Park stokes economy and science
Shenandoah National Park has received notable attention this year as it celebrates its 75th anniversary, including Lisa Provence's article [July 14: "Secrets of Shenandoah"]. My hope is that we can all use the remainder of the anniversary year as an opportunity to honor the sacrifices made by mountain residents as the park was being established– as well as appreciate the tremendous value Shenandoah provides today.
The idea of Shenandoah National Park was promulgated by Virginia businessmen who recognized the economic benefits of establishing a national park in the east. And they were right. The National Park Service estimates (conservatively) that Shenandoah infuses some $70 million annually into the economies of its neighboring communities: most people who visit the national park also visit and spend money in nearby cities and counties.
Of course, Shenandoah National Park is more than just a financial asset. It offers premier recreation opportunities, harbors significant historical resources and conducts vital scientific research. We in this area are incredibly fortunate to have one of the country's most visited national parks in our own backyard.

DavieBrowse Community Rentals, Sales and Foreclosures in Dave Florida Davie is a town located in historic Broward County in southern Florida. It was originally Everglades swampland, and it was called Zona. However, P.P. Davie was a major force in draining swampland. He also purchased 27,000 acres and built a school. After his death, grateful locals named the town after him. Today, Davie is a thriving town. The 2010 census reported 37,306 households, though eight percent were vacant. Davie has a strong school system with seven elementary schools, two middle schools, and three high schools. Three colleges have campuses in Davie – these are Nova Southeastern University, Florida Atlantic University, and University of Florida. A historical school, the Old Davie School, is an important part of the town's heritage. It opened in 1918 and taught around 90 students. It still stands today, and it's the oldest existing school building in Broward County. Though no longer in use, the Old Davie School was continuously in operation until 1980. Other historic buildings have since been moved near it. Perhaps one of the most interesting things about Davie is its distinctly Western feel. While many southern Florida towns take pride in tropical flowers, flamingos, coral, and the like, Davie focuses on the feel of the Old West. It was once land used for cattle farming, and Davie still hosts a large population of horse owners. At one point, it opened Pioneer City, an amusement park with a Western theme. In keeping with the Western spirit, Davie is home to the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds. Davie is a town with a unique feel, but it's still conveniently close to all that southern Florida has to offer.

This little city has around 11,000 residents, as of the 2010 census. Wilton Manors is a great city for recreation and for business. It is home to several parks and recreational facilities. A notable one is Colohatchee Nature Park, a facility that has a dog park, a nature-walk boardwalk, and a boat ramp. The city has undergone an economic revitalization over the past few years. Rent has increased, making it an excellent opportunity for those interested in maintaining rental properties. Sales prices are down, making it a buyer's market. If your business is retail, or it's based in the arts, restaurants, or entertainment, you might find the Wilton Manors Arts and Entertainment District to be suited to your needs. The city has an entire district dedicated specifically to shops, restaurants, and the like, so it makes sense to situate your business in an area that gets a good bit of consumer traffic. Whether you're looking at Wilton Manors for residential or business needs, you're sure to benefit from the city's remarkable diversity. Wilton Manors has a city library that is independent of the Broward County library system. The city is somewhat middle-aged for Broward County, having been incorporated in 1947. It's a certified Wildlife Community Habitat, despite having moved from being a farming community to an "urban village" in a relatively short amount of time.View More

Apparently today's Gun Appreciation Day was a great success! Only five participants accidentally shot themselves!
Emergency personnel had to be called to the scene of the Dixie Gun and Knife Show in Raleigh, North Carolina after a gun accidentally discharged and shot two people at the show's safety check-in booth just after 1 pm. Both victims were transported to an area hospital, and the Raleigh Fire Department announced that the show would be closed for the rest of the day….
…Two similar incidents occurred at entirely separate gun shows in the Midwest, one in the Cleveland suburb of Medina, Ohio and the other at the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana. In Ohio, the local ABC affiliate reports that one individual was brought to a hospital by EMS, and in Indiana Channel 8 WISH says that an individual shot himself in the hand while trying to reload his gun in the show parking lot. …
…CNN is reporting that three people were injured at the gun show in Raleigh, not two as originally reported. All were victims of a shotgun that fired while the owner was removing it from a case.
Hey, with law-abiding citizens like these, who needs criminals?

Emerging Trends in Seattle's New Construction Housing Market
Posted in Windermere by Shelley Rossi
New home construction is very important to the overall health of the housing market. Historically, when inventory levels are low, we look to the builders to supplement the market with new homes. It helps keep a balance between supply and demand. But because of the challenges local builders face, there haven't been enough new homes to significantly impact our woefully low inventory levels.

LPL Financial (LPLA) said Monday that NetVEST Financial, a team with about $200 million in client assets that left to affiliate with Ameriprise Financial (AMP) about a year ago, has rejoined the fold. Also, Raymond James said recently that it recruited a $220 million team from Wells Fargo.
Based in Scottsdale, Ariz., NetVEST is led by John Cartolano, who has 25 years in the business. The firm works with mass affluent and high-net-worth clients, with an emphasis on the use of different trust structures to support multigenerational wealth planning goals.
"We are delighted to see John and his team back to LPL," said Bill Morrissey, executive vice president of business development at LPL Financial, in an interview with ThinkAdvisor.
"They have been growing their practice by leaps and bounds and came to an inflection point in terms of their growth and scale," Morrissey said. "They wanted the right framework, talked to a few broker-dealers and ultimately decided to return to LPL, because we offer them the best platform to use to grow their business."
The LPL executive says that it does its best to stay in touch with financial advisors that have left to affiliate with other broker-dealers. "It's a small industry. We want to attract valuable advisors, and the best clients value what we do," he said.
"I am delighted to affiliate with LPL Financial, a firm that has supported me for many years in the past, and which I am privileged to partner with once more," said NetVEST President & CEO Cartolano, in a statement. "Central to this decision is my recognition of LPL Financial's commitment to everything that is truly crucial for our sustained success within the financial advisory industry."
While LPL doesn't offer advisors the "lowest prices" in the industry, it does give them "the highest value," according to Morrissey. Given NetVEST's fast-paced growth and comprehensive wealth-management approach, he adds, the team needed "robust technology to scale its business and draw really efficient and comprehensive client support" and other services.
Raymond James' Newest Team
Raymond James (RJF) said Thursday that it had added a team of three ex-Wells Fargo (WFC) financial advisors: Doug Noble, Greg Bowden and Rod Dahl of Georgetown, Texas, which is near Austin. The advisors, who all have the CFP designation, manage a combined $220 million in client assets and have yearly sales and commissions of $1.3 million.
The team, Goodwater Wealth Management Group, is now part of Raymond James' Advisor Select channel for advisors who want more independence but also the stability of remaining employees of a broker-dealer.
"Doug, Greg and Rod are a wonderful addition to the Advisor Select platform," said Chris Davitt, vice president and director of Advisor Select, in a statement. "Their desire to establish their own freestanding office and boutique practice while at the same time remaining W-2 employees of Raymond James made them a perfect fit for Advisor Select.
"We were looking for a firm with the same culture and values that we believed in and had experienced in our early days at A.G. Edwards," said Noble, in a press release. (Noble, a West Point graduate, began his career in 2005 at A.G. Edwards.)
"We chose the Advisor Select business model," added Noble, "because we wanted to control our own destiny in terms of how we run and grow our practice and the investments we make in our business. But we didn't want to take on all the back-office headaches that come with total independence. The Raymond James independent employee model offered through Advisor Select was the perfect answer to our needs."
Bowden became an advisor with A.G. Edwards in 2006, while Dahl started his financial planning career with A.G. Edwards in 2000.

What a night!
The Monday night ride was somewhat brutal. Cold and very windy. I guess it wasn't too bad, but it was hard to regulate my temperature without dropping everyone, and it's marketed as a slow ride.
When that was all done, I picked up some grub, packed up my things for the morning commute, then went to the hospital, where my wife has been since early Sunday morning. I spent the night there. Initially, I tried sleeping in a chair with another chair facing me to rest my legs on. That lasted until sometime around 3:00 AM with no sleep lasting more than 15 minutes or so at a time, thanks to discomfort and constant interruption of nurses for various issues with both my wife and her roommate. Back killing me, I grabbed a sheet and lay on the cold, hard tile floor, resting my upper body and head on a pillow. I finally got to sleep around 3:30, slept until 5:30 with lots of tossing and turning, then got my stuff together and got out.
Since I left the bike in the back of my wife's Explorer, I just took my old clothes and some of my wife's stuff down there, then geared up the bike. It was a little above freezing this morning, and the hospital is almost the same distance from The Maul as my apartment, so the ride took just as long. It's uphill most of the way, and there was a stiff (and cold!) headwind to fight with. Approaching 103rd, I saw a blinkie. I knew it had to be Lorin. I played catch up for a while, then succumbed to the uphill, headwind death slog. My legs just didn't have anything in them after last night.
I think my wife will finally get discharged today sometime. She's basically lived in the hospital for almost 3 days at this point. We're just waiting on some doctors to look over the diagnostics they've been doing. It's been a rough couple of months for the both of us, so hopefully this represents the apex and decrescendo of all the medical drama.

And before someone asks, this is NOT some perverted attempt at an April Fool's joke.
I have photos that prove I've spent way too much time at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. But at least they have a bike rack at the main entry and a lockable railing near the ER.

Gad zooks. I hope all works out well. Nights in the hospital, as a patient or a loved one, are no fun. Take my best, give some to the missus, and keep some for yourself.

Viva Las Lapras (さよならラプラス! Goodbye Lapras!) is the 33rd episode of Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands.
With his Orange League victory behind him, Ash and his friends set sail for the next boat to Pallet Town. However, Ash's Lapras sees a school of Lapras nearby, it recognizes one of them as it's mother. But the leader wants it to stay away from the humans on its back. At the Tarroco Island Pokémon Center Professor Oak explains that the herd of Lapras are scared of humans and with good reason. Officer Jenny explains that Captain Crook has been attempting to capture the Lapras. Will Lapras be reunited with its mother and will Ash have to say goodbye to one of his travelling Pokémon companions after everything they went through?
Episode plot
Misty asks Ash if he is going to stare at the trophy all day (as he is excited about his recent victory). Ash tells that he is going to stare at it all night as well. Suddenly, Lapras feels something and changes course, almost making the heroes fall in water. They soon see Lapras led to other Lapras, an entire school of them. Tracey believes that this is the school Lapras belonged to before it was separated from. Ash remembers the day they found Lapras and knows they promised to get it back to its friends. The Lapras attempts to get attention from other Lapras, but they see it and continue swimming, ignoring it. Ash's Lapras continues to do so and gets the attention of a lighter-colored Lapras, but continues swimming.
Misty asks what is wrong with them. Ash yells to ask why would they turn their backs on their friend. A Lapras uses Water Gun to stop them, then uses Mist and goes away with the others. Ash's Lapras yells, saddened about this event. The heroes contact Oak, who believes that they are scared of humans who may attack them. Ash gets upset at these words, though Jenny comes, believing it are the pirate poachers, who have begun stealing Pokémon from this reserve. Ash asks if it is someone like Captain Hook, although Jenny tells they name him Captain Crook. Ash thinks Team Rocket might have their fingers in this, knowing they would pull a scheme like that. Officer Jenny asks for more info, so Ash tells they are sneakiest losers he knows. From a door, Jessie asks whom is he calling a loser. Team Rocket appear, getting their bandages off, but still have pain, though claim that they have not poached a thing. The heroes do not believe them, though Team Rocket tell the pirates attacked their submarine, which got crashed onto an island.
Ash starts believing them, but claims they deserved it. Meowth and James acknowledge this, though Jessie hits them with a crutch for this. Jenny tells them they need to come to her station and tell what they know, including their file check. At that last statement, Team Rocket stand up and run away, though Jenny attempts to get them. The lighter-colored Lapras goes to go on an island, but gets stopped by another Lapras, so the entire school swims away. A man sees them and warns Captain Crook about them, who issues the order of preparing the Poké Balls so they can capture it. The heroes ride Lapras to catch up with the school. Tracey asks what should they do after they arrive, as the school does not trust them. Ash points at his mouth and explains they need to smile. Tracey and Misty think they should tell the school they are friendly, as Lapras should understand language.
The Captain's assistant fires the Poké Balls, sending Tentacruel amidst the Lapras school. Tentacruel use Poison Sting, but the attack is canceled by Water Gun, so the school swims away. The Captain's assistant fires more Poké Balls, though Lapras continue to swim away. The heroes see the Lapras school and the pirate ship as well, who send Tentacruel to battle Lapras. Tracey sends Marill and goes with it to get Officer Jenny. Ash and Misty stay with Lapras, who goes to save its friends. Team Rocket paddle and Jessie knows they need to fight these pirates to swap the docks with them. Meowth corrects her she meant swap the deck, causing him to get pounded by her hair. Jessie wants the pirates to see what would they do if they got attacked by Tentacruel. James knows they'll be powerless and paralyzed. Jessie tells they can sail away with Pikachu. Meowth tells it is bad she did not get the idea, making himself be pounded by her hair once more.
The Lapras school is surrounded by Lapras. The ship approaches and the Captain orders the Tentacruel to use Poison Sting. Pikachu jumps and uses Thundershock, but this causes damage to Lapras, Tentacruel, Misty and Ash. The Tentacruel turn to Ash and Misty, while Team Rocket observe. Meowth and James cheer for the twerps, but Jessie hits them, as they need to cheer for Team Rocket. The Captain demands to know why did they attack Tentacruel. Ash and Misty respond they will not see Lapras treated this way. Captain's assistant launches cannonbolts, though Lapras evades. Misty sends Goldeen, Staryu and Poliwag, while Ash sends his Squirtle. The Water Pokémon squad go with Misty, who all use Water Gun, destroying parts of the ship and pushing the Captain away. The Captain orders more cannonbolts to shoot. The assistant tells they are out of ammo, so the Captain places the assistant, telling he'll fire Scuz, who is fired into the water and gets levitated by Poliwag's Water Gun.
Ash taunts Tentacruel, but Tentacruel is not interested. However, after Lapras uses Water Gun, Tentacruel is provoked and goes with other Tentacruel to attack Ash and his Lapras, who swim away. The Lapras school sees what happened, as Tentacruel gain on Ash and Lapras. Team Rocket watch and Jessie sees the twerp will get attacked. James if they follow the twerp and the Tentacruel gain on him, wouldn't they get attacked. Jessie sees on the periscope a Tentacruel approaching, who blasts them and their submarine off. Soon, Ash gets surrounded by the Tentacruel and Misty tells the Captain to call off the Tentacruel. The Captain refuses, but gets hit by Poliwag's Water Gun. The Captain orders Tentacruel to use Supersonic and while Misty covers the Captain's mouth, the Tentacruel obey and use Supersonic, causing Ash, Pikachu and Lapras to cover their ears from the noise. A Tentacruel charges, but gets hit by an Ice Beam.
The other Tentacruel also get hit by the Ice Beam and sink down, due to the Lapras' school going to help Ash and his Lapras. The light-colored Lapras approaches Ash's Lapras and cuddles him. Ash sees his Lapras has a nice mom. Ash's Lapras is pleased they came to rescue it. Later, the pirates and Team Rocket are tied. James and Meowth admit they were voting for the twerp and Lapras and will testify. Jenny warns them all they are all charged, with Misty annoying Jessie Jenny does not mean about Jessie's credit cards. Misty tells the Tentacruel they are free to go, so they jump out of the boat. Ash tells his Lapras it won't have him on its back. With this, Lapras gets Ash and Pikachu off its back, but licks him. The Lapras school await Ash's (former) Lapras. Lapras remembers the times it spent with Ash and dives, then brings Ash to the boat.
Ash tells it was a good friend and tells "See ya!". Lapras joins the school and depart away. Ash, Misty and Lapras wave goodbye, knowing it took them through the Orange Islands. Lapras sees them a final time and jumps for joy.
- The mother of Ash's Lapras is lighter in color than normal Lapras.
- Scuz tells that they'll send Ash and Misty to Davy Jones' locker room.
- This episodes name is a song of Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas".
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Electrode.
When Misty sends out her Pokémon to attack the pirate ship, she throws four Poké Balls, but only three Pokémon come out.

Wireless Spectrometer Big Hit With Students – PASCO's wireless spectrometer has been utilized very well by our earth science and physical science teachers. It's an excellent piece of equipment and we have very much enjoyed its addition to enriching our classroom. It definitely brings students to a higher level of understanding wave interaction at a molecular level.

Excellent Smart Cart – I thought the cart was excellent. The quick sampling rate for force will be very useful for momentum and collision labs we do. I'm recommending we include this in our order for next school year.

Your lab equipment is of the highest quality and technical support is always there to help. During the 25 years we have used a wide array of lab equipment including computer interfacing. Your Pasco line has a high profile in our lab and will continue to do so far into the future.

Datalogging Activities are Cross-Curricular
Throughout the province of Nova Scotia, PASCO's probeware technology has been merged with the rollout of the new P-6 curriculum. We chose a number of sensors for use with our project-based activities. Both the functionality and mobility of PASCO's dataloggers enable students to collect authentic, real-world data, test their hypotheses and build knowledge.
What we find important to a successful implementation and adoption by teachers is showing that the probes are not a 'standalone technology'. The datalogging activities are very cross-curricular and can incorporate math, english, science, and geography outcomes.
We are excited to learn more about PASCO's new weather sensor because our students enjoy projects where they can share and compare their data with weather stations from around the world and be part of a global community.
Mark Richards | Technology Integration Consultant | Annapolis Valley R.S.B. | Nova Scotia
We have a large number of PASCO wireless spectrometers and love how they have improved the learning experience for our students.

For the first time the European Parliament will be represented at the UN General Assembly opening next Tuesday in New York. On Wednesday 26 September, its Vice-President Othmar Karas will represent it at a high-level meeting on the rule of law. From 24 to 27 September, he will also represent Parliament in the EU delegation, along with the European Commission and Council, thus giving it a parliamentary, democratic dimension.
Rule of law
Vice President Karas will focus on access to justice, the rule of law and the essential role that parliaments play in it at Wednesday's meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), on the occasion of the high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on the rule of law. The IPU brings together representatives of 163 parliaments.
Democratic dimension
Parliament's inclusion in the official EU delegation "shows the honest commitment of European Heads of State and Government to further democratisation and parliamentarisation of the European Union", said Vice-President Karas, who is responsible for relations with international institutions.
"If we are serious about making the EU not just a project of governments, but of citizens, then the European Parliament, which is the citizens' chamber, must be involved in all EU decisions. In the EU and elsewhere, we see that traditional international law is reaching its limits. In an ever more interlinked world, more and more transnational decisions are necessary. This growing number of decisions cannot be taken without democratic legitimisation", he added
The official EU delegation will also include European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Baroness Catherine Ashton.
The IPU parliamentary meeting takes place on Wednesday, 26 September, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Conference Room 3 at the Temporary North Lawn Building (TNLB) of the United Nation Headquarters in New York (entrance at 1st Avenue and 47th Street).
The Brussels based United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe - UNRIC provides information on UN activities to the countries of the region. It also provides liaison with institutions of the European Union in the field of information. Its outreach activities extend to all segments of society and joint campaigns, projects and events are organized with partners including the EU, governments, the media, NGOs, schools and local authorities.

Rarely had I seen a bluer sky or whiter snow than the landscape I woke up to. We got our first view of Mývatn that morning in daylight, no snowstorm or winds, and we observed that the lake itself is only part of the draw of the region — huge volcanoes with deep snow-filled craters circle the lake at a distance, making for a dramatic landscape in the winter and, inevitably, an inviting hiking destination in the summer.
The complimentary breakfast at Vogafjós Guesthouse was the best of our trip. We helped ourselves to Read the rest of this entry »

Kelly Clarkson's New Album, 'Stronger,' to Be Released on October 25
Just about a year after it was originally scheduled, Kelly Clarkson's new album looks like it's finally heading for stores.
'Stronger,' her fifth full-length release, has a brand new October 25 release date — but fans won't have to wait that long to hear new music from the original 'American Idol' winner. She'll debut her new single, 'Mr. Know It All,' via a live broadcast from her website on August 30.
Clarkson started working on the album back in 2009, enlisting an eclectic cast of producers and writers that included Rodney Jerkins, Claude Kelly, Toby Gad and Darkchild. At one point, she described the result as being influenced by "Prince, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, and Radiohead," as well as having "a little bit of a country vibe/influence on a couple of songs."
An intriguing blend, to be sure, and fans will get their first chance to show their support when 'Mr. Know It All' goes on sale September 5. 'Stronger' follows 2009′s 'All I Ever Wanted,' which sold over 900,000 copies in the U.S. and spun off the hit singles 'My Life Would Suck Without You,' 'I Do Not Hook Up,' and 'Already Gone.'

I went to boot camp during the summer of 2008. After that it was off to ITB. I was soooo excited to go the fleet after that. I wanted to do amazing things with my life. What I got instead was horrible. My "senior marines" didn't haze me. They physically and mentally abused me. Everyone says "I would stand up and fight them." But when it's a uniformed gang, there's no fighting against them. I spun into depression. Everyday was a struggle to not go U.A. I hated everyone. But most of all, I hated myself. I felt worthless. THEN it came time to deploy. About a week before we left for Afghan, the company 1st Sgt asked each squad leader for one marine to send to H&S company for FOB Guard Duty. While the rest of the company was in the "REAL" combat zone I was stuck standing 12 hrs of post a day, going on a bullshit patrol (so close to the wire I could spit on it) and doing massive amounts of S-4 working parties. I worked 18 hr days as an 0311 in a POG's world. I wanted to fight. I wanted to have the satisfaction of trading rounds with my enemies. But I guess I didnt rate. All this time building up the anticipation. And the marine corps stole it from me. By the time I was able to go with my original company, the shooting had stopped. I was berated so badly by my peers for my so called "cowardice" that there were several times i had to pull my M16 barrel out of my mouth. I told my team leader I was suicidal. He said I was a bitch. my entire squad "no balls'ed" me to kill myself. I plotted their murders and my suicide shortly following their demise. I lost my Faith in Jesus Christ. i lost my faith in my "fellow" marines and their so called "brotherhood." I lost faith in myself. I never ended up killing anyone including anyone in my squad. my second deployment was an uneventful MEU. I have since EAS'ed. I hate the Marine Corps. I wasnt the best marine, but I always did what I was told and followed the rules. Fuck The Marine Corps.

by Joshua Maloni
Shoppers at DiMino Tops Lewiston have begun to notice some changes to their supermarket.
"We've expanded on areas that we needed to expand on," owner Anthony DiMino said. "For example, we added more water space; we expanded our ethnic foods - Goya section; we added a Tai section; we added a dollar stop, which is kind of like a dollar store-type commodity," he said. "Plastic wares; some toys; dog toys and things - at a very cheap price. We added 24 feet of that."
In a few short weeks, customers will notice some aesthetic alterations. DiMino plans to change the store's color scheme from bright grays and whites to beige, brown and burnt orange.
"When we do the new décor package, we'll get all new aisle markers, and then we'll have two large aisle markers that will show the whole description of the store, which we never had before," he said.
These changes, while noticeable, are just the tip of the iceberg.
"The big change is produce," DiMino said. "We're actually totally blowing up the produce department. We're taking every case out and starting totally from scratch. When we're done, we'll have the most unique produce department in the Tops chain - and I think it's going to be the most unique produce department by any major chain, even Wegmans."
Much of Tops' produce will be refrigerated, either within a stand or behind glass doors.
"We're going to have 20 door cases," DiMino said. "A large part of our produce department is going to be in doors. In having them in doors, it's going to make some commodities even more stable."
Lettuce, for example, which is affected by sitting out on a sales floor, will last longer behind glass doors.
"It actually keeps better in a back cooler where it's not constantly touched," DiMino said. "In a closed door case, it's going to be at a more constant temperature, which is going to create a fresher and longer lasting product when they pick it up."
Another item set to be encased is mushrooms. Potatoes will be kept cool, too.
"We're putting a whole new vegetable commodity in; we're going to have potatoes in refrigeration - I've seen that out west," DiMino said. "We're going to have more items; more organic items than we ever had before.
"We're actually sitting down with some of our restaurant owners to find out what odd items they're looking for that they're using. Because if you look at all the cooking shows, more and more people are getting to these cooking challenges and things. They're using more and more not only organic items, but unusual items - things that you wouldn't normally realize."
Offbeat spuds, for example.
"There are just a large variety of different shapes and sizes of potatoes," DiMino said, pointing to a picture of a case with rows and rows of tubers. "This is how my potato section is supposed to look when it's done."
Tops is making room to add these new elements by tearing down its existing section. Some changes have begun; others will start the day after Easter. DiMino said he doesn't expect the "construction" will have any impact on the shopping experience.
Pods already are in place for some hardier, faster-moving items, like apples, which will not be kept cold. These portable stands can be moved to rearrange the produce lineup or showcase new and seasonal items.
DiMino said that, across stores, one generally finds the same produce. But different displays or arrangements affect what's purchased.
"I think (new displays will be) more exciting to the consumer because, after a while, you look at the same thing over and over again, it gets kind of stale," DiMino said. "They're looking for seasonality; changes. So, aesthetically, it's going to look tremendous."
"We're going to add a lot of new items; some high-end items; more variety in the commodities," he added.
Tops is looking for more farmer's market-type goods, too. Beyond that, "We're changing our deli cases and going with a little different merchandising on deli," DiMino said. "Flipping the cases around to add some new items."
For those with a sweet tooth, DiMino said, "We're going back to (from-)scratch doughnuts."
"We're going to fry our own doughnuts again," he said. "That's probably going to start, hopefully, right around the Fourth of July. ... That's going to be a major change, frying doughnuts again."
Internally, "We should be updated to exactly what every other major supermarket in Western New York will look like, and that's great for the Village and the Town of Lewiston," DiMino said.
To the right of the store's lobby, Tops has recently made improvements to its bottle return room.
"We also just replaced every bottle and can machine in our arsenal," DiMino said. "We have the most up-to-date recycling machines. They're twice as fast. I haven't had a complaint."
Though Tops is a popular destination for Lewiston shoppers, DiMino said there is always room for improvement.
"I am doing this because I need to serve my customer better," he said. "Definitely produce was an area where customer perception was less than favorable."
With Tops' new refrigeration system, "The changes that we're making should directly create even a better, fresher item when you show up at the store," he said.
"We will be as up-to-date as any grocery store chain in the United States, which, in a small community, everybody should be pretty proud of that," DiMino said.
Store shoppers speaking with the Sentinel, who wished to remain unnamed, said they are excited about the upcoming produce changes.
DiMino plans to hold a grand reopening on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 12.
Tops is located at 906 Center St.

Tour Washington
Enjoy Washington, MO
Historic downtown Washington, Missouri has so much to offer locals and visitors alike. As the 2012 winner of the Great American Main Street Award from the Main Street America organization, we are proud of the vibrant community we have built in our city while maintaining and preserving so many of our historical buildings.
Throughout your stay, be sure to check out the 68 historic buildings along Washington's self-guided walking tour. You can download this guide to take with you as you explore. Our very own Stephen Jones House Inn is stop 17 of the tour!
Events for December 9, 2019
Events Search and Views Navigation
- No events scheduled for December 9, 2019. Please try another day.
Are you looking for somewhere to eat?
Those are a few of the restaurants we consider to be within walking distance. But there are many more in the area. You can find a more comprehensive listing on the Visit Washington Missouri website.
Are you looking for things to to do anytime in Washington?
Cyclists can gear up and take a shuttle service offered by local bike shop Revolution Cycles to the Katy Trail. The stunning trail follows the route Lewis and Clark once took along the Missouri River. Popular with cross-country cyclists and a part of the American Discovery Trail, the route weaves beneath scenic river bluffs and through quaint farmland.
Meanwhile, history buffs will want to take full advantage of all that the Washington Historical Society has to offer during their time in the city. The society has five different museums, including the Genealogical Society for those interested in pursuing the particulars of their personal family history.
The Washington Museum has exhibits featuring corn cob pipes, zithers, Busch beer, and artifacts of daily life since the city's inception in the 1800s. The other museums are available to tour by reservation. On the second Tuesday of each month from March through December, the Historical Society puts on an Evening at the Museum events for the public spotlighting our rich local history.
In addition to the museums, history enthusiasts will want to make space on their calendars to tour the Fort Charrette Historic Village. Available by appointment only, tours are given by the village's creator, architectural historian Crosby Brown. Brown has relocated and restored remains of an old trading post filling it with collections of 18th- and 19th-century artifacts and period furnishings. Throughout the hour-long tour, you'll explore the trade room, a blacksmith's shop, and recreation of frontier living quarters.
Seasonal Events
Each Saturday from April to October, you can stock up on fresh produce and local goods at the Farmer's Market downtown. On the second Thursday of each month, enjoy Music at the Market which is an event offering live music for the public to enjoy. And in September, visitors can join in on the local fun at Brewfest. The event features over 50 microbrew beers from over 18 breweries to sample while enjoying live music.
Each October, Washington's Historical Society puts on cemetery and ghost tours for those seeking a frightfully good time. The Cemetery Tour will take you through the Wildey Odd Fellows Cemetery, first established in 1865 and containing over 1200 graves and elaborate monuments. And during the Ghost Tours, you'll hear spooky, historical stories from Washington's own intriguing past.
Ready to explore outside of Washington?
Wine lovers will find endless points of interest throughout the area while staying here in Missouri's Wine Country. A seemingly never-ending list of wineries, events, and unique area wines to sample will keep even the most avid explorers busy.
Those looking for a unique, true-Missouri adventure will want to add Meramec Caverns to their weekend itinerary. The Meramec Caverns are the largest commercial cave in Missouri which is infamously known as the "cave state." You won't want to miss the chance to see these stunning, crystal formations in person.
For history buffs, be sure to take a ride or drive across the river to Marthasville where you'll find the original burial site for Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca. Boone died while at his son's home in nearby Defiance, and he was buried in the Bryan family cemetery next to his wife. There he rested for 25 years before his remains and the remains of his wife were exhumed and transported to Frankfort, Kentucky. Or were they? If you listen to local lore, you'll discover many believe the body removed from the Bryan cemetery wasn't Boone at all and that he still rests right here in Missouri. Look for the signs (or Google) for the Boone Burial Site and Monument to lead you there along State Highway 47.
There is always more.
More to see, more to do, and plenty of places to shop. Take a look at the Visit Washington Missouri website for a more comprehensive list and peek at our events calendar to see what's happening nearby in the weeks to come.

$15M condo lawsuit against Joan Rivers in NYC
NEW YORK (AP) -- Comedian and condo board president Joan Rivers is being sued for $15 million in a dispute involving a former downstairs neighbor in her luxury New York City building.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
The New York Daily News (http://nydn.us/GNuHmY ) reports former neighbor Elizabeth Hazan signed ownership of the $2 million two-bedroom unit to Real Estate Holdings Group in July.
The company contends Rivers and others ripped wires from the unit's cable box and squirted glue in its locks. It says building officials recently denied Hazan access to the apartment.
The paper says Hazan has a long-running battle with Rivers over unpaid condo fees.
A lawyer for Rivers says he's preparing a response to the suit.
Rivers lives in the building's $30 million upstairs penthouse.

My group theory text asks for an example of a Cayley-like diagram that exhibits all the properties of a group except (only) that at least some elements lack an inverse. Is it possible to construct such a diagram?
Nathan Carter p. 24 Question 2.15. in Visual Group Theory (in the context of this question) defines a group as a "collection of actions" that satisfies four rules:
- There is a predefined list of actions [generators] that never changes.
- Every action is reversible.
- Every action is deterministic.
- Any sequence of consecutive actions is also an action.
Clearly (2) will be violated in any diagram that is constructed by adding new node, $n$, to the diagram for a group $G$ by one-way arrows for each of the generators in $G$, since it provides no way to reach $n$ from any other nodes, so that paths starting at $n$ (only) cannot be reversed. This will be the case regardless of what nodes in $G$ each of the arrows from $n$ lead to. For example, starting with $G=D_4$:
But, while this diagram satisfies rules (1) and (4), doesn't it also violate (3) because, for example, $r^4=e$ and (starting from $n$) $r^4=r^{-1}$ even though $r^{-1}\neq e$?
EDIT: As discussed below, this figure does not, in fact, violate (3): the $r^{-1}$ mentioned above (the one starting at $n$) does not exist. Also, it does matter where the arrows from $n$ are connected: they must be connected to $G$ in a way that follows $G$'s rules. In the diagram above, for example, if the dotted path had been chosen for $f$ instead of the one indicated, the diagram would violate (3). Rule (3) will always be satisfied in a diagram where the connections from the added node replicate outgoing connections from a node in $G$ (here $m$).
The answer provided in the book's key focuses on the fact that (2) requires that any diagram
...cannot have two arrows of the same type pointing to the same destination from two different sources.
However, while this is certainly a property of (all?) diagrams (including the one above) that violate (2), it is not sufficient to violate (2), and can result in the violation of other rules instead. For example simply "rewiring" one of the cyclic actions in $D_4$ so that it points "to the same destination from two different sources" can produce a diagram that satisfies, (2) but violates (3):
The example offered in the key, violates not only (2), but (3) and (4) as well:
Is it possible to construct a diagram that satisfies rules (1), (3), and (4) while violating (2)?

We all love our pets, but love can get expensive. If you've been to a pet store recently, you will notice aisles filled with expensive bath and body products ranging from dog nail polish to fancy spa treatments for your canine. While some of the products can be kitschy fun, oftentimes they are a waste of money. When looking for a pet shampoo, it is also important to be an aware consumer.
When most people go to the beauty supply store, they look a shampoo that will best handle their hair-type, protect against sun damage and leave it clean and smooth. I've found that people will spend ridiculous amounts of money on hair care product without even looking at the ingredients. Most of the time, you can find exact same formulas for less than half the cost of a high end salon-type product. So why spend $40 on a product you can get for $5? I challenge everyone to keep all their receipts for their bath and body products and see just how much money is spent on things like haircare and lotions. You will be amazed at how much you COULD be saving.
Now back to pet care. Why should you be spending so much money on a luxury pet shampoo that you can get for half the price? Why not purchase your product wholesale? Your pet will always need to be cleaned, so instead of buying small bottles, buy by the gallon and save your money. If you want a more luxurious product, try adding an essential oil or fragrance oil to your wholesale pet shampoo and it will customize the product and people will think your pet just left the spa!
There is currently a debate about the best type of pet shampoo for your animal. The 'soapless' trend is a widespread debate on the Internet, and many people are turning to all-natural or organic products, which may not be the best for your pet. It's most important to look at the ingredients and research ANY product you are using that could be harmful to your pet's health. All-natural is certainly a plus when it comes to any bath and body product, and particularly pet shampoo. However, 100% organic may be harmful to your pets health, depending on the hair type and animal type.
The point is, pet shampoo is something that consumers need to research. Every animal owner will need it, so it doesn't make sense to by small quantities or expensive product that is harmful to your pet's health. Furthermore, it's important to look at your spending in this economy and figure out every possible venue to save money. Pet care supplies are an area most people overlook when trying to budget for the month. Get creative, get thrifty and save your money to treat yourself!
