So, I'm working with a Macintosh Performa 636CD (circa 1994-1995) to read some old Macintosh-formatted floppy discs (circa 1991) with a collection of roughly 40 documents that appear to have been written with a version of MacWrite (or something compatible to that) that my friend's employer wrote and recently rediscovered.
Old Apple computers are so much fun… but for me, most any old computer is, honestly. My Performa is the oldest reliably-working Mac I own, but my Macintosh SE works every now and then, too.
Anyways, I acquired the Performa a number of years ago, complete with a nice "Macintosh Accessory Kit" that's been sitting in my room for a number of years. I got to looking through it last night and found some interesting tidbits, some pictured, many others not (the box had the system installation CD, and the original hard disk had just failed… now all's working just fine with a new drive at the moment).
The WordPerfect v3.1 has a sealed package with the original installation floppies (all 6 of them), and it's exactly the kind of software I need to read the files (as far as I know, at least), but… somehow it feels almost wrong to open these diskettes when it's been almost 20 years since their manufacture (18 and a possible half, to be precise). They're sealed… you just don't find that very often when you scavenge old systems from thrift shops and garage sales and the like.
Also, the America Online & CompuServe free disks & advertisements? Good for quite a laugh.
"Now with world wide web browser!"
"It's easy. It's fun. And it's FREE for 10 hours!"
"See the future of the internet now with 100 HOURS FREE!"
[sticker on envelope] "New! 500 hours FREE! (for a month)"
Just had to share that. And now it's late and I should probably get to sleep… tomorrow I shall tear that nicely-sealed bag of floppies open and install them.
…Oh, and the box comes complete with a 530-page user guide. For the word processor alone. There were a number of other sizable booklets from Apple for the computer itself in the box, too.
I have people ask me every now and then if their new computer, printer, or software comes with an instruction manual (I work in retail, if it wasn't kinda obvious), and some just don't want anything without a few dozen pages of paper in the box. They usually end up out of luck on that front. But on the other hand… the Internet.

BatteryGuy > FAQs > What is the shelf life of a sealed lead acid battery?
The shelf life of a sealed lead acid battery varies according to several factors
A SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery can generally sit on a shelf at room temperature with no charging for up to a year when at full capacity, but is not recommended. Sealed Lead Acid batteries should be charged at least every 6 - 9 months. A sealed lead acid battery generally discharges 3% every month.
Sulfation of SLA BatteriesIf a SLA battery is allowed to discharge to a certain point, you may end up with sulfation and render your battery useless, never geting the intended life span out of the battery. Sulfation is when the electrolyte in the sealed lead acid battery begins to break down. Sulfur in the solution leachs from the electrolyte and begins to stick to the lead plates becoming Lead Sulfuric Crystals. The crystal build up on the lead plates keeps the plates from working as intended and also elliminates the needed sulfer in the electrolyte solution.
Storage Temperatures of SLA Batteries
The combination of these issues weakens the ability of the battery to accept and and deliver a charge. If you are going to store sealed lead acid batteries on a shelf without charging them, it is recomended you store the batteries at 50 degrees Ferhenheight/ 10 degrees Celsius or less.
Periodic Recharging of SLA Batteries
When storing sealed lead acid batteries for long periods, it is recomended that you top charge the batteries periodically. The top charge should be for 20 - 24 hours at a constant voltage of 2.4 volts per cell. 6 volt sealed lead acid batteries have 3 cells which ammounts to 7.2 volts where as 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries have 6 cells which amounts to 14.4 volts.
Replacing your SLA battery
If your SLA battery has been stored for some time and is now not holding a charge then it is no longer servicable and will need to be replaced.
Whatever the battery is, BatteryGuy can offer you substantial savings. To make it easy we've made it possible for you to search out your replacement in a number of ways:

by Adam Haslett; New York, Anchor Books, 2003, 240 pages, $13 softcover
Voted one of Time magazine's five best books of the year in fiction and winner of the Winship/PEN Award, You Are Not a Stranger Here is a group of powerful short stories, each dealing with some manifestation of mental illness and its effects on others.
In the first story, the reader is caught up in a spiraling manic episode so vividly depicted that it evokes the colors of a brain scan. A bipolar father spews forth a torrent of feverish plans while making public scenes and running up huge hotel and restaurant bills that cannot be paid. His son wearily tries to divert him, fully aware of his own powerlessness to stem the tide, and terrified of his own bipolar symptoms. On each side, recollections of tender childhood moments and mutual love highlight the tragedy of a relationship splintered by illness.
Each subsequent story reflects an interaction with a startling core of truth. A woman who has survived trauma and profound personal losses reduces a young psychiatrist to an insensitive neophyte when he keeps insisting that her history requires talk therapy to supplement her medications. Frustrated by merely prescribing in a rural clinic, the psychiatrist is anxious to try his hand at psychotherapy, while the patient is convinced that talking with an inexperienced therapist cannot ameliorate—and may intensify—the tragic memories in her life. This story is a beautiful counterposition of conflicting patient-therapist motivations and needs.
The palliative relief of self-inflicted pain pervades a story of two teenagers, simultaneously struggling with homosexual feelings and parental loss, who try to alleviate their anguish through mutual violence. In another story, the long-ranging effects of a mother's suicide are manifested in the stunted lives of two siblings. Having survived through mutual reliance, in later life they sabotage each other's loves in order to stay together. In still another narrative, a clinically depressed man performs a final redemptive act before consummating the suicide that will release his wife from the burden of his illness and himself from the burden of her love.
In a unique voice, each of these stories reaches deep into the psyches of people suffering different types of pain. But the stories also feature creative strategies used to cope with recognizable diagnoses. In a particularly interesting story, a young man with bipolar disorder conducts audiotaped interviews with relatives and friends about their interest in philosophy. His probing questions are meant to help him understand his own malaise, "to figure out the relationship between the desire for theoretical knowledge and certain kinds of despair." Although the project is given the grandiose title of "anecdotal sociology research" and conducted during a hypomanic phase, the reader will be astonished by the revelations and insights that come out in the interviews.
Throughout the book, psychiatric treatment is often part of the background. Some characters have participated in repeated, redundant interviews in mental health facilities, or psychotherapy that has proved ineffectual in addressing their angst. But many are depicted with a unique self-destructive bent, their interactions with clinicians or school counselors shaded by a wall of resistance. Their coping strategies are recognizably maladaptive: oppositionalism, resignation, or purposeful suppression. Some alleviate pain with intoxicants, self-mutilation, or violence. When offered help, they dissemble and withhold. They divert and trivialize. Their helpers aren't given a clue.
Mental health professionals can learn much from these stories about the motivations and resistances of patients with treatment-refractory illness and the undisclosed human tragedies that are often hidden behind their facades. But the contents also focus on the interactive spin-off of mental illness, its immediate and long-range impact on others, and how the aftershock can make patients out of loved ones. Fiction can be a great enlightener, and these narratives provide wonderful insights into the many ways that human pain and its defenses can be internally experienced and behaviorally expressed. Beautifully written and intrinsically fascinating, this book would be particularly valuable for young residents just beginning to comprehend the living experience of mental illness.
Dr. Lefley is professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Miami School of Medicine.

The kickoff to the 2011 karting season for Tony Kart West was this past weekend at a location familiar to them – PKRA's Formula K Raceway in Glendale, Arizona, for the season opener of the Gatorz Challenge of the Americas. The team, which was nine drivers strong and would compete in five of the series' six classes, was looking for a strong start in what was sure to be a very competitive weekend.
The transition from Cadet to Junior classes is a large one, but the team was confident that Parker Thompson would be able to handle the transition and remain as competitive as he was throughout 2010 in Cadet karting. Thompson however, gathered the first two wins of the season for the team as he took pole position on both days before impressively winning each main in close battles. However, his Sunday win was all the more impressive as, after qualifying on pole, Thompson spun in the first corner of the pre-main and fell to the back of the field.
Getting his Tony Kart pointed in the right direction, he rallied from 19th to ninth by the end of the pre-main, and worked up to the lead of the Junior Rotax field by the halfway point in the main. After a close battle, Thompson took his second win in two days. Also running strongly in Junior Rotax was Jonathan May, who qualified thirteenth on Saturday but picked his way through the field impressively to finish fifth in the main. On Sunday, he qualified tenth but worked his way through the field to finish third in the pre-main and ran in that spot throughout the first half of the main before going off track. He would ultimately finish ninth, right ahead of teammate Kyler Repella, getting a strong tenth in his first Gatorz Challenge of the Americas weekend.
Tony Kart West's new weapon in Minimax, Royal McKee, had an eventful weekend in his first outing for the team. McKee finished second in the Saturday main, after he was caught up in a crash when the lead battle he was a part of encountered a lapped kart with a lap and a half remaining. In Sunday's main, McKee had a titanic battle throughout the final where he swapped the lead in a drafting, wheel-banging battle throughout the race. In the end, however, he would finish second for the second straight day.
Also grabbing two podiums was Micromax driver Preston Anderson. They may be the smallest but the Micromax karts put on a great show and Anderson was in the mix of things, finishing second on Saturday before he had a race-long battle for the second spot in Sunday's main. The battle went down to the last corner on the last lap, where Anderson was able to hold his advantage while his competitor spun trying to take second away. For the second day, Anderson stood on the podium.
Masters driver Larry Hayashigawa had a strong weekend, narrowly missing the podium in Saturday's main when he finished fourth. He would finish sixth on Sunday after narrowly avoiding an opening lap crash that caught up half the field.
It was not to be a strong weekend for the team's three drivers in Rotax Senior. While things started strongly for Matt Johnson as he qualified third on Saturday, mechanical issues hampered him in the pre-main before he finished 15th in the main. Teammates Devin Lindsay and John Wallace were caught up in crashes on both days in each main, as was Johnson on Sunday.
"We had some real highs and lows this weekend, but we were excited to see Parker get two wins and to get Preston and Royal on the podium," said Buddy Rice, owner of Tony Kart West. "It's always nice to start the year on a positive note and that's what we had with six podiums in our first weekend. Unfortunately we had nothing but bad luck in the Rotax Senior race as Matt showed in qualifying we really had some speed with our Senior package. But that's how it goes sometimes, and we'll be ready next month at Calspeed."

Man undergoes 10 surgeries after suffering severe burns
A freak accident burnt the entire right side of his body. But seven months and 10 surgeries later, Ravi (name changed) has almost recovered, a hospital here said Friday.
The 23-year old management graduate received severe electric shocks and burn injuries after his mobile phone accidentally came in contact with a high tension wire on the roof of his house.
In a fraction of a second, 11,000 volts of high voltage current entered Ravi's body through the mobile into his ears and exited into the earth through the lower part of his body.
The mobile burst near his ear and resulted in severe third degree electrical burns on the right side of his face, groin and thigh.
Ravi was unconscious for 45 minutes, after which he got up on his own but was unable to remember the sequence of events.
The patient was initially treated in Gwalior. He was later referred Aug 3, 2013 to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital here.
"Accidental contact with high voltage electricity may result in severe injury or death. This can occur as a person's body provides a path for current flow, causing tissue damage and heart failure," Swaroop Singh Gambhir, associate consultant, Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the hospital said in a release issued Friday.
"This is the first time in my career that I saw such severe electrical burns due to a mobile blast. When we first saw the patient, he had severe third degree burns on the right side of the face, groin and penile area. The burns were so extensive on the face that the facial bone was burnt," he said.
"The challenge for us was to salvage whatever tissues were remaining, prevent infection and reconstruct the damaged structures to as near normal as possible. This required multiple surgeries and regular follow ups," he added.
Gambhir said: "In the past eight months, Ravi has undergone 10 surgeries. With these surgeries, we managed to cover the facial bones and give him near normal skin. Along with this, his groin, thighs and penile area have also been reconstructed."
Ravi will undergo his 11th surgery which is for reconstruction of eyelids and implanting of eye ball. He will require further surgeries for eyebrows, eyelashes and beard reconstruction. In the next about six months, the patient should be near to normal, the hospital said.

ONE MORE STEP (for dummies like me)
Thanks for the previous hints/tips/tricks, but it took me (a REAL dummy) one unmentioned step to get it to work: after typing "rm", you need to put a space after it before dragging the errant file to the window. Took me a little while to figure that one out...but in the end this pesky file that has been stuck on my drive for the past two years is finally GONE. Thanks all...

Global Islamic assets expected to reach US$1.8 trillion by 2013
- Top 20 Islamic banks have registered a growth of 16% per annum in the last 3 years
- Saudi Arabia is the biggest market for Islamic banking followed by Malaysia and UAE
Singapore, 17 December 2012 – Global Islamic banking assets held by commercial banks are set to cross US$1.8t in 2013, up from the US$1.3t of assets held in 2011, according to EY's World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2013.
The forecast is significantly higher than some of the earlier industry estimates. Globally, the Islamic banking industry continues to record robust growth, with the top 20 Islamic banks registering a growth of 16% in the last three years and Saudi Arabia emerging as the largest market for Islamic assets.
Top 20 Islamic banks hold over 50% of global Islamic banking assets
Ashar Nazim, Partner, Global Islamic Banking Center of Excellence at EY, says: "The top 20 Islamic banks hold 57% of the total global Islamic banking assets and are concentrated in the seven core markets for Islamic banking which include: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Malaysia and Turkey."
According to the report, the Islamic banking industry in Saudi Arabia – with an estimated US$207b of Islamic assets – was ranked first in 2011. Malaysia ranked second with total assets of US$106b in 2011 and UAE ranked third with total assets of US$75b.
New markets on the horizon – Indonesia, Egypt, Iraq and Libya
Egypt has been actively investigating issuing sovereign Sukuks as well as the development of a new regulatory framework for Islamic banks, as several banks in Egypt are expected to launch Shari'a compliant products.
Iraq is contemplating Islamic banking legislation while Libya prepares to implement its Islamic banking framework.
A number of banks, both established and new, are considering introducing Islamic banking operations in these markets – highlighting the continued growth and development of Islamic banking throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Gordon Bennie, Partner, MENA Financial Services Leader at EY, says: "Ten of the world's 25 Rapid Growth Markets (RGMs) have large Muslim populations and present significant growth prospects for Islamic banking. The fast growth economies now form almost half of the global GDP and remain the main contributors to overall global growth. The outlook for Islamic banking in these markets is bright."
Profitability still a challenge
Despite the projected asset growth and the introduction of new Islamic initiatives in a number of countries, the profitability of Islamic banking continues to lag behind that of conventional banking in the same markets. Over the period 2008-2011, the leading Return on Equity (ROE) for Islamic banking was only 11.6%, against 15.3% for conventional banking. Islamic banks continue to face a number of issues affecting the profitability of the industry. These include subscale operations, a very basic risk culture, incomplete market segmentation, limited engagement with clients, and an absence of technologically oriented value propositions.
These issues have prompted several institutions to initiate wide-ranging transformation programs that will see the industry take the next step in its evolution from being a niche market to a profitable, service-orientated industry attracting customers for product innovation and value-added services.
Ashar continues: "Discussions with management and boards of leading Islamic banks suggest that major transformation is happening around the 'three Rs' of transformation – regulations, risk and retail banking. The 'three Rs' are geared towards efficient capital planning, risk modeling, mitigating Shari'a risk and building customer-centric organizations. There are also meaningful developments on the regulatory front although a lot more needs to be done to create the right environment to enable Islamic banks to implement the reform agenda."
With the implementation of these transformation agendas over the next two to three years, Islamic banks are aiming to close the performance gap that currently exists with the overall banking industry. According to EY's report, successful transformation could see the profit pool of Islamic banks rise by an additional 25% by 2015.

Membership in AeroWorldNet
Contact Us
from Gerard David of IntertechniqueI
would like to start by saying a great "thank-you"
to those of you who followed our helicopter trip last weekend from New York
to the mid-Atlantic on L'Esprit d'Intertechnique 1997. I hope our mutual
disappointment in the early end of the helicopter flight will only be a
momentary one, and a new concept will be born in the coming months.
I am also delighted to say a friendly "Hello"
to all the aerospace readers of AeroWorldNet and to wish you good
reading about all the events taking place at Le Bourget outside of Paris
this week. It is the pleasure of Intertechnique to sponsor this daily online
coverage on AeroWorldNet.
We especially want to call your attention to the fact that Intertechnique
equipment is installed on every aircraft shown here at the Paris Air Show.
From Airbus to Boeing, from the Indonesian commuter aircraft to the Brazilian
EMB-145 Regional Jet through Canadair and Gulfstream. Dassault, Aerospatiale,
Saab, Sikorsky, Eurocopter. We are very proud to be associated with all
of those famous names.
In fact, we invite you to visit our exhibit at the Air Show. Over the
next several days,
we will have sections of our exhibit online on AeroWorldNet for you to see.
During this week, we will take you on a cyber-tour of the four main parts
of our activities - oxygen and life support, electrical power management,
fuel systems, and systems management. Of course, we will also introduce
you to another very important part of our Groupe is telemeletry transmissions.
Intertechnique is proud to take a leading position in funding research
and development, in light of recent reductions in European government funding
for these activites.
Despite these cuts, Intertechnique not only continues but increases its
own budget for R&D, so we can maintain our advances in the fields where
we are leaders. We do this to ensure that Intertechnique equipment will
continue to be installed on the large majority of the world's aircraft.
Internal R&D budgeting represents about 17% of our total revenues.
There are several examples of where this R&D is paying off.
We have a new system being demonstrated for ground deicing system detection
that will be tested in flight next winter. We think we have a very good
technical advance in this very critical safety area just prior to take-off.
The improvement of system for the management of electrical power is another
area. In the future, electrical power is essential to accomplish more and
more tasks aboard every aircraft. The
management of electrical power aloft becomes one of the most immportant
tasks we must fulfill and it is an essential area for our R&D.
A third example is our development of new systems for the maintenance
and calibration of navigational aids. This is very high technology at a
low cost. You'll see evidence of this research and development at the entrance
to the Air Show, Instead of calibrating an ILS from the air. The small truck
with the Intertechnique sign can calibrate an ILS as accurately as it can
be done from an aircraft -- for 1/10th the cost.
Intertechnique has always made a commitment to technology. We have just
launched our new Web site at www.intertechnique-air.com.
In one week it will become www.intertechnique.fr. While it is still under
construction we invite you to stop in and look around.
In the meantime, please continue to enjoy the coverage of Paris 1997.
We hope to meet you in person in the future.

Norwegian artist Lars Laumann draws inspiration from the outskirts of popular culture. By sampling and reediting, he creates works that take form as installations or videos. Mixing different media and techniques, he creates idiosyncratic worlds, that are at times absurd and unsettling revelations of our collective modern mythologies.
The album cover features the group with their arms positioned to spell out a word in flag semaphore. According to cover photographer Robert Freeman, "I had the idea of semaphore spelling out the letters HELP. But when we came to do the shot the arrangement of the arms with those letters didn't look good. So we decided to improvise and ended up with the best graphic positioning of the arms."[3]
On the British Parlophone release, the letters formed by The Beatles appear to be 'NUJV', whilst the slightly re-arranged US release on Capitol Records

P.S. I Love You (DVD)
Hilary Swank (actor), Gerard Butler (actor) and Richard LaGravenese (director)
I enjoy Hillary Swank... I also love romatic comedies. I had read terrible
reviews of this movie. I waited a while to watch the film - I loved it for all
the reasons I thought I would - the characters, the stript, the realistic
strangeness, and the touching moments. It touched me and made me rememeber how
lucky I am in the love that I have. Something that I think we all forget...
This is one of the saddest movies Ive ever seen.
I couldnt stop bawling!
Gripping film nonetheless.

French 'Spiderman' Alain Robert Is At It Again!
While watching Spiderman movies is awesome, we all know that neither Andrew Garfield nor Tobey Maguire can ever climb buildings with bare hands, even if their lives depended on it - For that matter can any mere mortal pull off a stunt like that? Turns out there is indeed a real-life Spiderman, who makes a living, climbing the tallest and most challenging buildings in the world.
Alain Robert better known as the French Spiderman began his unusual career when he was just 12-years-old. Returning from school one day, he realized he had forgotten to grab the keys to his eighth floor apartment. Too impatient to wait for his parents to come home, he decided to climb the exterior of the building and get in from the patio.
He enjoyed it so much that it soon became his favorite hobby. However, at the ages of 19 and 20 he suffered two major falls, breaking several bones in both incidents. With the doctors predicting a 60% chance that he could remain handicapped for the rest of his life, things looked pretty bleak for the next six months, until . . . . . The determined youngster recuperated completely and started climbing again. He has never looked back, since.
Over the years, he has climbed over 90 buildings including many famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Opera House in Sydney. He has also scaled some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world including, the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, the Sears Tower in the USA and even, the tallest one of all - Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The most amazing part is that most of these climbs are done untethered and without safety nets. All Alain needs is a good pair of shoes and a box of chalk to dry his sweaty hands.
While some of the climbs are 'legal', in that they have been sanctioned by the officials of the city and the owners of the building, most are done without permission - A habit that has gotten him into a lot of trouble and even, jail time. But to Alain, the stealth mode is the best way to go because when it is authorized, the publicity attracts people and camera crews, a situation that makes even an experienced climber like him, a little nervous.
His latest conquest which took place on September 22nd and was approved by the powers that be, was the world's tallest steel tower, the Central Plains Fortaleza building in Zhenzhou City, China.
It took the 50-year-old two hours to scale the 268-meters (880 feet) to the tower's platform where he was greeted by hundreds of cheering fans. However, this latest one was a little different from his other climbs. For one, the exterior of the building is all smooth with no hand or footholds, which meant he had to use two giant suction cups and a safety rope just in case anything went wrong. Also, while the building is 388-meters tall, he was only given a permit to climb up to the platform, that lay about a 100-meters below.
But there was nothing easy about the ascent given that he was climbing up real slippery walls and had to maneuver past a 30 degree angled slope in the top section of the building where it is shaped like a downward pointing triangle. But as usual, he persevered and came out on top - Literally!
While Alain's next rumored quest is the second tallest hotel in the world, the 1,053 feet sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, his most favorite thing to do is sneakily scale random tall buildings in various parts of the world. So the next time you are passing by a skyscraper, be sure to look up - You may just get lucky!

Well, our worst fears may have been realized today.
Nene suffered a left knee sprain mid-way through the third quarter last night, and the team is reportedly worried he may miss the rest of the season--according to Michael Lee of the Washington Post.
There is a fear among some members of the Washington Wizards that Nene is done for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee, although the team won't know for certain until the Brazilian big man meets with team doctors and has an MRI exam on Monday.
Of course, nothing has been said about Nene's injury yet, but Michael Lee usually gets these reports right. Nene couldn't put any weight on his leg and it appeared like a non-contact injury, which obviously isn't good. With just 26 games remaining in the season, the Wizards are trying to separate themselves from several teams trying to make a final playoff push, and they've done a good job, especially since they got back to .500 last night.
Washington's record without Nene has been atrocious, but that's not to say the Wizards won't have any help. Trevor Booker has had a good season, and Kevin Seraphin has the offensive tools to fill some of the void. Al Harrington has also reemerged from injury in the past few games, and I suppose he could also provide some relief.
With that said, none of the players on Washington's roster are capable of playing the role Nene played. His presence alone made a difference for the Wizards, giving them another option to run their team through besides John Wall and Bradley Beal. Washington will need several players to step up during this period, especially if Nene misses the rest of the season, and that concerns me. Although I think Trevor Booker and Kevin Seraphin are capable of playing some good basketball, I don't trust them nor do I think they're consistent enough to get the job done.
The Wizards do have an open roster spot, and they could potentially sign a free agent big man in the absence of Nene. Who's available? Well, there aren't many intriguing names on the market right now.
Let's hope that report doesn't actually occur, because the Wizards might not be able to afford Nene's loss.

Hotels in Sunnyvale, California, United States of America - your base to discover the city.
Sunnyvale HotelsFind your inspiration in Sunnydale, a city where creativity and innovation hangs thick in the air. You'll be staying at the cutting edge of technological development, with new and exciting Silicon Valley start-ups blossoming all around, and NASA, Yahoo, and Google for neighbors. It's not all about work here, however, and holidaymakers can take full advantage of the warm Californian climate to get outdoors and get active exploring. Of course, great wine also goes hand-in-hand with creativity, which is fortunate, because some of California's best vineyards are just a short car journey away. Things to seeThere's nowhere better to soak up some sun, and recharge your creative batteries, than Baylands Park. Bordering the East Bay, the park lets you join the 300 mile-long Bay Trail, where you can walk past scenic golf courses, and flocks of birds swooping low over the water. Sunnyvale's own creative juices are celebrated at the annual Arts and Wine festival. The festivities take over downtown each June, and see Murphy Avenue vibrating to live music, as canvasses are splashed, and quality wines are uncorked with abandon. Don't worry if you miss out, though, as you can still enjoy the Farmers' Market, which springs up along Murphy Avenue every Saturday morning. Pick up a few bottles of vintage red for an evening in, along with organic meat and fruit and veg so fresh the soil's still clinging to it.Hotels in SunnyvaleAs a business hotspot, there's plenty of choice here when it comes to fantastically well-equipped hotels in Sunnyvale. Blemish-free 5 star options will give your stay some sparkle, allowing you to indulge in iced champagne and sensuous spa treatments, when the temptation arises. The business facilities are also first class – if you have to work – and power points, phone lines and ultra-fast WiFi connections are available in both hotel lobbies and rooms. Sunnyvale's fully self-sufficient apartments are ideal for families, as they come complete with spacious kitchens and lounge areas. Or you could save some money by choosing to stay in a cheap and cheerful motel.Where to stayIf you're wanting to enjoy Sunnyvale's nightlife, then staying among the sprinkling fountains of downtown will suit you perfectly. Head out to taste the juicy flavors of locally fished seafood jambalaya, washed down with a bottle of craft beer from your restaurant's microbrewery. Or, hit the trendy wine bars before grabbing a spare guitar and jamming away at one of the city's live music bars. Sunnyvale is bordered by both San Jose and Mountain View, or a stay in Cupertino will be ideal if the option to leave the city behind and head out to places like Rancho San Antonio County Park appeals. Here, you can see deer peeking out nervously from behind tree trunks and - if you're lucky - bobcats and coyotes. How to get to SunnyvaleSilicon Valley has several large airports, which makes it easy to get in and out. If you're in the US, flying to Mineta San José International Airport is likely to be your best bet. The airport is just 15 minutes' drive from downtown Sunnyvale. Flying to either of San Francisco's 2 airports may be more convenient if you're coming from abroad, however, and you can travel between Sunnyvale and San Francisco using the Caltrain service in less than an hour. You can also arrive in Silicon Valley by jumping on a train to San Francisco or Santa Clara.

An Accidental Anarchist: How the Killing of a Humble Jewish Immigrant by Chicago's Chief of Police Exposed the Conflict Between Law & Order and Civil Rights in Early 20th Century Americaby Walter Roth and Joe Kraus
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
It was a bitter cold morning in March, 1908. A nineteen-year-old Jewish immigrant traversed the confusing and unfamiliar streets of Chicago-a one-and-a-half-hour-long journey-from his ghetto home on Washburne Avenue to the luxurious Lincoln Place residence of Police Chief George Shippy. He arrived at 9 a.m. Within minutes after knocking on the front door, Lazarus Averbuch lay dead on the hallway floor, shot no less than six times by the chief himself. Why Averbuch went to the police chief's house or exactly what happened after that is still not known.
This is the most comprehensive account ever written about this episode that stunned Chicago and won the attention of the entire country. It does not "solve" the mystery as much as it places it in the context of a nation that was unsure how to absorb all of the immigrants flowing across its borders. It attempts to reconstruct the many different perspectives and concerns that comprised the drama surrounding the investigation of Averbuch's killing.
About the Author
Walter Roth is a senior partner in the law firm of DAncona & Pflaum in Chicago. He is president of the Chicago Jewish Historical Society and has written many articles for Chicago Jewish History, the Sentinel, and JUF News.

Re: September Board
Amy- I think my DH had done some similar rating stuff. He'd write reviews on the internet for extra cash. I haven't had the chance to look at that recipe yet. Darn it.
Alix- It's a very personal topic and you have the right to feel what you feel. Talking about it is probably important given the fact you are upset by it. Hope your back feels better!
Alexx- The progesterone hasn't worked to jump start your cycle? I took it once when I needed to get AF and she showed up a day or two after I stopped taking it. I had a 3 month gap in between cycles after going off birth control, but never took the progesterone then. long cycles like that can be from annovulation (not ovulating). Clomid sounds like it's something you could really use. The first full day of bleeding is what you should count as CD1. Most often clomid is prescribed to start on CD3-7 or CD5-9. I always took it CD5-9. Did you discuss PCOS? I thought you mentioned having that....metformin is another common medication used in conjuction with clomid and progesterone. Yes, each pregnancy can be totally different it's hard to say how you'd feel this time around. Hope this helps!
AFM- I'm tired spent the day running around running errands with my mom and grandma. It was fun, but now I'm drained.

These clothes could be cleaned quite easily, at least.
No more man-buns.
Sculptural hair, two-tone nails, shocking pink pouts, and more.

Denver Broncos waive rookie safety Duke Ihenacho
Broncos open roster spot for D.J. Williams
The Denver Broncos have waived safety Duke Ihenacho, opening a roster spot that could be filled by linebacker D.J. Williams.
Williams was reinstated Monday after sitting out the first nine games of the season while serving two separate NFL suspensions. He'll practice Wednesday for the first time since training camp, where he was relegated to individual drills and backup duty while the Broncos prepared his replacements for the regular season.
The Broncos (6-3) can evaluate Williams over the next few days before activating him to the 53-man roster.
Ihenacho has been up and down between the Broncos' practice squad and active roster all season. The undrafted rookie from San Jose State has played in two games but didn't record any tackles.

Natal Chart Consultation and Current Transits:
We are all here for some purpose. The natal chart is a key to understanding the lessons we have to learn, the challenges we have to face, and the gifts we have to give in this lifetime. While many people know that astrology helps us to understand what is happening or may happen in the future, it can be of greatest value when we use it to understand why things happen as they do.
With this consultation, we'll look at what's happening in your life now, and use your natal chart to determine the best directions to take to solve problems in light of your life patterns, working from the principle that the best way to predict the future is to have an active role in creating it. I'll focus on your major concerns, whether they are relationships, career, unblocking creativity, or finding a spiritual direction. From solving a particular problem to just feeling better about yourself and your life, an astrological reading is a great way to get a fresh perspective!
The consultation is your time, and you'll have the opportunity to explore what's of interest to you. Consultations are usually about an hour and half in length. $155.
Transit Consultation:
This is a follow-up available within a year of a full natal chart consultation. We'll cover your current transits, forecasting for the next six to twelve months. $95 ($75 for returning clients)
Selecting a Date for an Event (Election):
Sometimes, we need to know if it's a good time to do something. Astrology can help you pick your wedding day, opening day for a business, or the best time to ask for a raise (or when not to go on a job interview!). $80.
It's a Family Affair
Astrology consultations that examine and analyze family dynamics...
We often think about astrology as useful for helping us to understand our personal life - our goals, challenges, and the roles we play. But astrology can be very helpful in understanding family dynamics.
Families often show the same patterns in generation after generation - the same issues come up, the same roles are played by different people. There's "The Golden Child," "The Rebel," and "The Black Sheep." We hear that "Our family is not like that" or that "We've always been like this." Although many of us feel that our families are just one part of our lives, the truth is that we grow up within the assumptions and beliefs of our families. Whether we accept these ideas or reject them, whether we cling to or move away from our families, they are part of who we are. They are the background that we often need to illuminate in order to understand the foreground issues of our lives.
We've heard of "family curses," and sometimes it does seem like families are fated to live out the same patterns in every generation. There may be secrets and hidden histories that have been forgotten but are still operating on an emotional level. Often someone will come along who upsets the balance of the family, exposing the otherwise hidden truth. These people are often regarded as Black Sheep, yet they frequently become the Family Savior.
We can explore the astrology of your family at any level. For example, we can examine the charts in a nuclear or extended family. We can look at the places the family members have lived, and the experiences they have had. And you can learn what your role is in the family dynamic. We each have our individual karmic energy to work out and work with, but we also have our family karma.
It may be helpful to follow up an initial session with Astrological Coaching, but we will begin with a two hour consultation, $195.

Astrolocality Consultation:
Wondering how you would do in Hawaii? Thinking of packing up to Akron? An astrolocality consultation will help you make the decisions about where to move. If you're considering one or two places, the fee is $45 for each, but if you're open for ideas, I'll scout out a list of places for you for $105. Email me for specifics.
Asteroid Module:
This is usually done as an addition to a full consultation. There are over 12,000 asteroids which have names ranging from the mythological (Vesta and Juno) to pop culture (Mr. Spock). The interaction of these asteroids with your natal chart can demonstrate some remarkable synchronicities, especially by transit. Click Here for more about asteroids.

NTT Data, AutoGrid Partner for Energy Management R&D
Japan's largest IT services company NTT Data is going to use US-based AutoGrid's Energy Data Platform (EDP) to conduct joint research and development in the energy sector, beginning in September.
The R&D partners will look at the need for managing peak electricity demand, which is already popular in the US and Japan, and is expected to be a worldwide trend in the coming years.
NTT Data and AutoGrid will utilize big data techniques to develop a cloud-based demand side management application that will help electricity users save money while improving grid reliability. The alliance combines AutoGrid's expertise in predictive analytics, Big Data and cloud-based applications and NTT Data's experience in implementing large and complex information systems across the globe.
Big Data driven applications deployed on the cloud will give utilities, business users and consumers the ability to precisely monitor, control and predict their energy needs, say the companies.
Recently, Austin Energy said its automatic demand response program is using AutoGrid's Demand Response Optimization and Management System (DROMS) platform, giving the utility the ability to declare demand response events quickly without having to log into multiple vendor portals.
