(June 30, 2016) – The Portland Bureau of Transportation and Portland Police Bureau will conduct a crosswalk safety education and enforcement action on Wednesday, July 6 at the marked crossing on NE Sandy Boulevard at NE 85th Avenue to raise awareness of pedestrian safety and Oregon traffic laws.
Education and enforcement actions such as the July 6 event are a key part of the City of Portland's citywide effort to reach its Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries.
Under Oregon law, EVERY intersection is a legal crosswalk whether it is marked or unmarked. People driving must stop and stay stopped for people walking when the pedestrian is in the travel lane or the adjacent lane.
Sandy Boulevard is one of Portland's 10 designated high crash corridors. This location has bus stops on both sides of the street and is within close proximity to businesses, restaurants, a senior living facility and The Grotto, a prominent destination for 300,000 visitors annually.
Each crosswalk enforcement action involves a designated pedestrian crossing at a marked or unmarked crosswalk while police monitor how people driving, bicycling and walking adhere to traffic safety laws. Drivers who fail to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk and pedestrians who fail to follow Oregon traffic laws may be issued a warning or citation. A Portland police officer will serve as the designated pedestrian crossing the street during Wednesday's action. The exact time will be announced the day before.
PBOT encourages everyone who uses NE Sandy Boulevard to exercise care and caution when walking, biking and driving. People driving and people walking should remain alert and people driving should watch for people in the crossing.
Crosswalk education and enforcement actions are an effective way to communicate traffic laws to people driving and walking. The transportation and police bureaus do education and enforcement actions throughout the year in response to requests by community members, city traffic safety engineers, and Portland Police to educate the general public on the rules at marked and unmarked crossings.

(June 30, 2016) – City Commissioner Steve Novick and Transportation Director Leah Treat announced today that Portland Bureau of Transportation crews surpassed their Back to Basics street maintenance goal by preserving 103 miles of city streets in the fiscal year that ends today.
The 103-mile total for fiscal year 2015-16 is more than double the mileage preserved three years ago. At the direction of the Portland City Council, PBOT in July 2013 revised its pavement maintenance program. Called Back to Basics, the new program set an annual goal of maintaining at least 100 miles of streets through a variety of treatments.

"Three years ago, we committed to doing preventative maintenance on 100 lane miles of city street per year," said Novick, who oversees PBOT. "Thanks to the hard work of our crews and engineers, we have exceeded our goal for a third year in a row. Next year with the revenue from Measure 26-173, the voter-approved fuels tax, we'll be able to do even more to improve the condition and safety of our roads."
"This is our third year delivering on our commitment of preserving and maintaining 100 miles of Portland roads," Treat said. "We continue to prioritize our limited transportation revenue to meet this goal because we know spending a dollar today saves us ten dollars in future years. We continue to pilot new treatments like crack sealant, which we applied this past year on our arterial streets and found it to be very effective. I want to thank our maintenance crews and our engineers who work together to identify and prioritize the streets that are the best candidates for preventative maintenance and then do the critical work to extend the operating life of our streets."

The announcement was made at SW Chestnut Street and 10th Avenue, where PBOT crews were grinding the asphalt in preparation for repaving in the coming days. SW Chestnut Street serves as a key route for people walking, biking and driving to Wilson High School, Rieke Elementary School and the bustling Hillsdale Town Center. PBOT prioritizes Back to Basics maintenance on streets near schools, as well as major routes that serve biking, walking or freight.
PBOT also published a map showing the citywide locations where streets have been maintained in recent years and where the bureau plans to conduct street maintenance in the fiscal year that starts Friday.
About Back to Basics:
PBOT's pavement maintenance policy is to carry out the right treatment in the right place at the right time. In practice, this means that bureau crews focus on maintenance work that will keep a street from falling into poor or very poor condition. The reason is simple: it saves Portland money. The cost of repairing a road that has fallen into poor or very poor condition is typically ten times more expensive than maintaining a street that is in fair or good condition.
Arterials and collectors, with their frequent and heavy loads, experience harsher wear and tear. This deterioration often reaches below the road surface and affects the street's base structure. The weight of a standard passenger bus, for example, has as much impact on the pavement as ten thousand automobile trips. Correcting damage to the base structure of the road is more complicated and expensive than addressing surface-level problems like cracks and worn asphalt. Neighborhood streets, on the other hand, experience far less traffic and often can be maintained and repaired with less costly methods.
Fog and Crack Sealing:
This treatment is performed on residential streets in generally good condition. First, crews seal the visible cracks on the streets. They will follow this up with a fog seal that seals the road surface from the effects of water and the sun. Fog seal is a liquid petroleum product consisting of water, asphalt, recycled tires and grit and is sprayed on clean pavement and allowed to dry. It protects the roadway from weatherization for an estimated 3-5 years. It costs $10,000 to $12,500 per mile.
Grind and Pave:
This treatment is used for high-traffic streets which are typically in fair condition with little or no evidence of failure in the road base. The top two inches are asphalt are ground down, recycled and the road is repaved. This treatment typically costs $150,000 per mile.
Base repair:
This treatment is reserved for streets that are in poor or very poor condition. The work is limited to small areas within a street that is falling apart and/or a potential hazard to road users. Both the rock base and the asphalt street surface are removed and completely replaced. Base repair is very expensive and typically costs $500,000 per mile. Although this type of repair is expensive and only limited to small areas of a failing street, it allows PBOT to address urgent safety needs and improve the street's condition.
Street maintenance is heavily weather dependent. Though crews work year round, the most productive months are from June to September.

(June 28, 2016) – The Portland Bureau of Transportation and the Private for Hire Transportation Advisory Committee are seeking public input on transportation service for people with disabilities. With an online survey launched today, people with disabilities can tell the City about their experiences using taxis or Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft.
Take the survey now at portlandoregon.gov/transportation/pdxrides
"Transportation access for people with disabilities is a top priority for the private for hire program, and we need your help to make improvements," said City Commissioner Steve Novick, who oversees PBOT. "Please take a few minutes right now to complete the survey."
PBOT and the committee will use input from the survey to improve service for people with disabilities. While the City requires taxis and TNCs to serve everyone, there is limited information available on current wheelchair-accessible vehicle use and the potential demand for the service. There is also very limited information on transportation service needs for people with other types of disabilities, such as limited hearing or vision.
PBOT seeks to ensure that people with disabilities have access to taxis and TNCs as equivalent as possible to service provided to people without disabilities. Learn more about private for hire transportation at portlandoregon.gov/transportation/pdxrides.
The survey will be available online for three weeks. The web site does not allow users to take it multiple times.

(June 23, 2016) – As one of the first steps in launching the Fixing Our Streets Program, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) today invited Portlanders to apply for the Fixing our Streets Oversight Committee. The committee will play an important role in ensuring the accountability of the transportation safety and maintenance program voters created when in May they passed Measure 26-173, the four-year, ten-cent Portland gas tax. The Committee will also provide oversight for the projects funded by the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax which was passed by the City Council on May 11, 2016.
When City Council approved placing Measure 26-173 on the ballot, they created the 16-member Oversight Committee and mandated that it include representatives from Portland's various neighborhoods, modal interests, business liaisons, transportation professionals and advocates from Portland's most vulnerable communities.
"After spending several years fighting for the funding to fix our streets and make them safer, I'm excited to finally get to work," said Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick. "We need a diverse group of community members to serve on this oversight committee to ensure implementation of these important projects."
The role of the Oversight Committee will be to:
Applications will be due July 19th. The committee will meet quarterly with the first meeting slated for September.
The application is available at: www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/article/581590
Measure 26-173 is expected to raise $64 million over four years. The program's project list includes paving, sidewalks, crossing improvements, neighborhood greenways, safe routes to school, high crash corridors, protected bike lanes and alternative street design that will have a significant impact on neighborhoods across Portland. The full project list and other information about Measure 26-173 and the Fixing Our Streets Program can be found at: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/64188.

(June 23, 2016) – The City of Portland Sunday Parkways presented by Kaiser Permanente will be coming to North Portland this Sunday. This event's 9.5 mile scenic route connects some of the beautiful natural areas and gardens located in North Portland. Included on the route are Peninsula, Arbor Lodge, McCoy, and Kenton Parks plus the Willamette Blvd bluff overlooking the river and Forest Park. The route connects neighborhoods east and west of I-5 on low or no-traffic neighborhood greenways, residential streets with low speed limits that are marked with bicycle symbols on the pavement.
Participants will also have the chance to experience a fantastic new community resource for Portlanders who bike: the Community Cycling Center's Bike Repair Hub. Located in the beautiful 82-acre New Columbia Community in North Portland's Portsmouth Neighborhood, the Bike Repair Hub was created by the community members as a place where they could store tools, bicycle parts, and equipment and help others with basic bike repair. Kids can learn how to ride their bikes safely and enjoyably in the Hub's Bike Skills Park. The New Columbia Community is a mixed-income community home to more than 2,500 adults and children speaking 11 languages and representing 22 countries.
Sunday Parkways is a series of five free community events opening the city's largest public space – its streets – for people to walk, bike, roll and discover active transportation. The event series, held in a different neighborhood once a month from May to September, is hugely popular; total attendance topped 119,000 last year.
The event's detailed Sunday Parkways route map shows the route as well as bus and light rail options to help people get to Sunday Parkways by bike and transit. A schedule and listing of event highlights are available on the Sunday Parkways North Portland brochure.

Improving Arthritis Treatment?
I have read in "The Arthritis Cure" that avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, along with glucosamine and chondroitin, are beneficial in treating arthritis. Can you tell me if the research backs up these claims, and if so, what the risks are of taking avocado/soybean unsaponifiables?
Answer (Published 10/26/2009)
The remedy you ask about is made from an extract of avocado and soybean oils and is often recommended to reduce arthritis pain and slow the progress of the disease. I discussed your question with Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., an internationally recognized expert in the fields of integrative medicine, dietary supplements and women's health, who has recently written about this subject in a chapter in Integrative Rheumatology, a book to be published in 2010 by Oxford University Press, and a new volume in the Weil Integrative Medicine Library of which I am the general editor (go to www.oup.com and search using the term "Weil Integrative Medicine").

Dr. Low Dog says that avocado/soybean unsaponifiables or ASUs, for short, are derived from the oily fractions of avocado (100 mg) and soybean (200 mg) and have an excellent safety profile and good evidence of benefit. She reports that four high-quality clinical trials have demonstrated that ASUs eased the pain and stiffness of knee and hip osteoarthritis and reduced the need for the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) commonly used to treat arthritis. NSAIDs pose a risk of ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding when taken long-term.
Dr. Low Dog further explains that the active components of the ASUs mixture have not been identified and that their mechanism of action is not well understood. However, she adds that there are no toxicity issues associated with these products. Because ASUs have a slow onset of action, if you want to use them, she recommends continuing to take your current pain medication for the first 4-6 weeks and then tapering off slowly. The dose of ASUs is 300-600 mg per day.

Greek Life:
I'm living in the SAE Fraternity house as a Freshman and could not have picked a better Fraternity. I enjoy spending time with my brothers and reaching out to help the community. I always believe that an individual should be giving and that was part of my selection process. The Greek Life at KU is big but includes everyone.
Greek Life:
Greek life at KU is a great way to get involved in the school and the community.
Greek Life:
I feel like greek life is centered around the wrong motives.
Greek Life:
While greek life is big on campus, most people really down care what fraternity or sorority you are in everyone is okay with all the greeks.
Greek Life:
I am not really into Greek life, I have never been interested in it. I never pay attention to those who are a part of Greek life or think anything highly of them. I have noticed that some people who are a part of it, tend to think they are better than others, which is ridiculous. But that's a college campus for you, and you can choose who you want to associate with.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Being in a Greek organization is an opportunity for KU students to make a ton of friends and get involved with the University sooner, rather than later, during freshman year. Some students say that Greek life is an important aspect of college, while others like to remain independent. There are pros and cons to both points of view. If you are in any way interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, make sure you do your research beforehand. Find out what all the different organizations have to offer. Be warned: Greek life can be a steady time commitment, and remember that you need to pay dues to join—some as high as $2,500. The Greek houses are especially large, which can offer a nice living environment for students. Most Greeks live in the house for the first two years and then move off campus for their remaining years of college.
Greek life is very prevalent on the KU campus, with the large houses and amount of money invested in the sororities and fraternities. The houses are visible all around campus and are one of the trademarks at KU. Students are recruited heavily when they first arrive at KU, but the choice is yours to make on whether Greek life fits with your lifestyle or not.

Then you were a lucky girl. Good morning May ~ I've always fancied a trip there ~ but so far only done the big three.
No, no, Nick, that wasn't luck, but my decision :) - It's a bit complicated to get there, because you have to go to the Northern airport, or to go with the ferry in Tenerife and to stay one night there. The advantage, there are only few tourists.
No not luck in that sense May but lucky to have been there to the whistling island ~ I agree that it was your good planning :) The few tourist bit is right up my street ~ even though I'm one of em myself of course! In the alps out of snow season in Spring and late Autumn I find many peaceful places
:) So sorry, to contradict you again, Nick! La Gomera is the whistling island, not El Hierro. El Hierro is the most southernly and westernly island of the Islas Canarias. I am aware that I am one of 'those tourists' as well. smile, but I try not to look like one. I usually travel on my own and I don't carry the Swiss flag with me. Yes, Spring and autumn is fine for travelling in the mountains. Best for UK and Ireland is May and June, when the days are long and the British, German and Swiss tourists aren't on holidays yet. Their holidays are usually in July and August. ;))
you can correct me as often as is necessary dear May ~ silly old me ~ so I'm yearning for a different island anyway! I agree on all the other points too:)
:) Thanks for your patience!

About G L Sarti
The Last 20 or 30 years I have acquired experiences in the field of microfilming which some of you may recognize as form of photography.Ā It has been only since 2002 that I began to take an interest in nature photography.
In reality, I believe god had a hand in my pursuing nature photography.Ā I have always had an interest in nature.Ā I was drawn to it.
As time went on I began reading and teaching myself the finer points of photography.ĀĀ A few photographer friends guided me with camera techniques and scene composition.Ā Entering shows for prizes is not my goal but do appreciate any that I have received.Ā My work is exhibited so others can share in god's creations.Ā I am convinced it takes someone greater than I to have created the simplest of plants to the greatness of earth and our universe.
The most important point that everyone that looks at my work needs to know is that most of my original photographs are taken in their natural setting.Ā My work is generally not staged in any way.Ā On occasion, I will take an individual photograph and apply an artistic touch to try and create an interesting piece of work.
In the past few years, I have hiked through the natural areas of Prescott, AZ., Hilton Head Island, South Carolina shores, and the area of Sarasota, FL.Ā Ten days were spent photographing various areas of the National Parks through Utah, Montana, Wyoming, N. Dakota, and S. Dakota.
In my home area of Western Pennsylvania, I have and continue to hike through the Pennsylvania Natural areas in the Laurel Highlands. Along the way, every opportunity is taken to photograph landscapes, wildflowers, and wildlife.
Pursuing water falls throughout the Tr-State area is a continued goal.Ā The latest being the 21 water falls in the Ricketts Glen State Park, Eastern Pennsylvania.
In addition to Nature Photography, I am moving into a new area called macro photography emphasizing light.

Thankfully, it is not necessary to understand the underlying reason for the latest fall in crime to welcome it and, indeed, be relieved by it. It is part of a longer trend right across the developed world, and an established reversal of the rise that began from the 1960s until around the turn of the millennium. In its way, the reduction in crime represents the greatest single improvement in the standard of living of the British people over the last few recession-hit years. It is also a boon for ministers who would love to claim credit for it.
We should certainly be wary of the explanations politicians offer for trends in criminality. In the 1980s, when it was on the rise, Margaret Thatcher attributed it to the spread of wealth her policies had brought about. As people were able to afford such expensive wonders as VCR machines, microwave ovens and hot hatches, it was argued, these became the target for thieves. Well, we have more mobile and stealable gadgets than ever before now, but the tablet and smartphone revolution has not done much to boost crime.
Some of the explanation is uncontroversial. Cars are more difficult to steal than in the days of a simple hot-wiring, so much so that the only way is to grab the keys, which often means a break-in. That is trickier because of more burglar alarms and greater awareness of the need for locked windows. Crime overall is also more difficult to commit because of the ubiquity of CCTV. The police have the kit that can nab more villains, from DNA testing to infra-red cameras that can detect cannabis farms. The decline in cash wage packets has meant fewer Sweeney-style "blags". Cybercrime and fraud are obviously higher, but generally do not involve a sawn-off shotgun. Even murder is down.
The increase in sexual offences can be partly explained by the publicity around Jimmy Savile and similar cases, and is in fact welcome if it means more people come forward as victims. The striking thing about those scandals is that in fact they seem to have been rooted firmly in an older world where child abuse was, clearly, easier to get away with.
At any rate it is difficult to see how the policies pursued by home secretaries from Jack Straw to Theresa May have made much impact. Asbos, for example, were far less used than talked about, and antisocial behaviour has been falling since they were dropped.
This was not supposed to happen. Early in the recession Home Office officials warned that unemployment would turn idle hands to the devil's work, and cuts in policing would make detection more difficult. None of the dire predictions has come true. According to elements of the press, decent hard-working people (as the usual formulation runs) should, by now, be drowning in a sea of evil-doing perpetrated by East European immigrants, drug-crazed vagrants and binge drinkers. This Mad Max vision of Britain has not materialised, though you would never think it from the headline writers, who remain on their daily mission to scare the hell out of Middle England. "Something need not be done" is not a great slogan; but in the case of crime, this is the one social problem we should worry rather less about.Reuse content

PHOENIX -- Shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima made a point of walking across the clubhouse to greet pitcher Bartolo Colon.
The new face of the Oakland Athletics' infield, and an old, familiar one.
Nakajima arrived in the desert Jan. 31 to get acclimated and acquainted with his teammates, while Colon showed up Monday eager and thankful for his own version of a fresh start. The right-hander received a 50-game suspension last August for a positive testosterone test and missed out on the thrilling finish to 2012 as the A's rallied back over the final 10 games to steal the AL West crown away from Texas on the season's final day.
Colon still must sit out the first five games of the regular season to complete his penalty. Now nearly 40 -- his birthday is May 24 -- he received a $3 million, one-year deal in November.
"Nueva temporada," he said in Spanish -- a new season.
"I'm happy," he said in English.
The pitcher has yet to formally address the media since his Aug. 22 suspension, and gave no indication that he would do so any time soon.
"We know Bartolo and he knows us," pitcher Jarrod Parker said. "We don't need him to prove or make any statements or anything like that. We know who he is and how good he is out on the field. So we're not pushing him for anything and I know he's going to address us, and he'll do it as he wants to."
Colon alternately clapped his hands to his thighs and talked aloud to no one in particular as he crossed the field just in front of the mound through a heavy rain to have his physical in the visiting clubhouse. He re-emerged some 90 minutes later.
How'd it go?
"I don't know," he said, raising his hands and shaking his head as he walked back, gathered his belongings and left Phoenix Municipal Stadium for the day.
Manager Bob Melvin isn't worried about Colon getting right back in the flow with his teammates.
"He fit in very well here before and I see that being the same case," Melvin said. "He knows most of these guys and they all liked him very much and got along with them all and actually was a nice little resource for our younger starters. So, I don't see any problems there."
With his suspension, Colon lost the remaining $469,945 of his $2 million base salary for last season. He also earned $750,000 in performance bonuses based on starts and $150,000 based on innings, which were not impacted by the suspension.
The Miami New Times reported late last month that Colon and other major leaguers bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing drugs during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables.
Colon's teammates say they have moved on from the suspension, even if he won't be available for the first five games this year.
"I love Bartolo. It's awesome," closer Grant Balfour said. "I just gave him a hug right there and said, 'I'm glad they signed you back.' He was a huge part of our team. That was a misfortune toward the end of the year. You think to yourself, 'Hey, if we had had him,' because he's a great player. He was missed. ... He's a strike-throwing machine. I've got no hard feelings. It's over. It is what it is. You can't hold grudges on people for the rest of their life."
A two-time All-Star with a 171-122 career record, the burly right-hander went 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA in 24 starts for Oakland last season, his 15th in the majors. He won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award after going 21-8 for the Angels.
Game notes
RHP Michael Ynoa is still in the Dominican Republic with chicken pox, delaying the start to his first big league camp. It could be six to 10 days, Melvin said. ... RHP reliever Andrew Carignan threw off a mound twice last week for his first bullpen sessions -- 20 pitches each -- since undergoing Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery June 19. "It's a big step," he said. "It's probably the biggest one I've had since June." ... 1B/DH Daric Barton is sporting a three-month-old beard, which he trimmed Monday morning. "Sometimes I find a little peanut butter and jelly in it," he said. ... LHP Travis Blackley added more than 20 hours' worth of new tattoos. The Australian had color added to existing body ink on his left leg and right arm. "I got a few. I don't count them in numbers," he said. "They all blend in. I stayed away from the neck. I'll stay away from that real estate for a while." ... INF Scott Sizemore and wife, Brooke, are awaiting the birth of their baby girl -- likely within the week. Sizemore suffered a season-ending left knee injury during the first full-squad spring workout last year and underwent surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

I don't own Harry Potter. The idea from this came from watching invader Zim where a psycho kid asked for the batteries and a chick who looked like tonks said '50th floor'. Seriously, from that hatched some insanity i couldn't pass up.
Enjoy :) I know i had fun writing it.
Tonks' gum popped over her dark purple lips and she wanted to cry of sheer boredom.
The day had started out alright; she was sent to an inconspicuous electronics store in the middle of town where she was to wait until precisely half-past noon when her informant would meet her there, wearing a fedora and trench coat. Kingsley had given her the assignment especially; she had to meet someone with a lead on Sirius Black. She had given Kingsley an odd look when he told her that, but Kingsley had defended the idea by saying that it would keep up appearances. Either way, Tonks had ended up going along with it. How many people in fedoras would be venturing by Bors' electronics shop, anyhow?
Tonks was enjoying her disguise even if she hated the reason in which she was wearing it. She was every mother's nightmare; spiked up blue hair, dark purple lipstick, her eyes were orange, and false piercings littered her features. She had a spiked choker around her neck and her eyes were outlined with think onyx makeup. The rest of her was sheathed in black fishnet and stick-on tattoos.f
She was perfecting the art of leaning, bored, against the counter when the door dings. She looked up
A tall, thin man wearing a beige trench coat with his hands shoved into his pockets and his shoulders hunched walks through the door. The coat is just a little too short in the arms and in length. His arms are covered with slightly darker freckles. He takes a hand out of one of his pockets and fusses with the sleeve. Then he reaches up and adjusts his hat. He's wearing large, dark sunglasses and a fedora pulled down to his nose. There's a bit of fiery red hair sticking out.
The man clears his throat nervously as he approaches the cashier desk with his head down and his fingers pulling on the rim of his hat. When he speaks, the voice is obviously falsely deepened, meant to be indistinguishable. "Excuse me miss," the man mumbles, "but would you kindly point me out to the battery section, please?"
Tonks' gum snaps and her smile reaches wicked proportions. "Mr. Weasley? Is that you?" She leans forward on the counter and reaches up, pulling on the lenses of the glasses until she can see the man's eyes. She sees his bright red eyebrows and laughs.
The man quickly draws back, pulling nervously at his coat and hat once more after righting his glasses. He clears his throat again, his head swiveling from side to side. Tonks wants to laugh at how incredibly pathetic he's acting. "I do not know of whom you speak," he denies, "I am Mr. Fred...rick...son?" He speaks again, this time in a higher falsetto, caked with some sort of extremely false accent--somewhere between French and Italian but achieving neither.
Tonks laughs at him. "I'm pretty sure that Fredrick's your son, Arthur. Your accent's getting better, though. Been practicing?" Tonks' Orange eyes sparkle today and she reaches up and messes the fedora on his balding head. "I like your hat. It brings the whole outfit together"
Arthur Weasley, incognito, releases a strangled sound from his throat. "I need you to tell me where the batteries--" Arthur whines then and rips the glasses from his face. "Dammit, Tonks!!" His face pulls into a pout that no grown man with even a shred of dignity would be able to pull off. "I just want the batteries. Molly took them away again."
Tonks bites at her lip and leans back, grinning. "What'd you do this time?" Molly always hated his battery obsession but even she wouldn't take them away without a reason. And as Arthur was the father of the infamous Weasley Twins...well, to simply say it, the twins didn't get their mischievous streak from their mother.
Arthur's mouth gaped open--"I didn't...I mean..." His eyes drooped, saddened. "Please Tonks? I just want a few batteries."
Tonks shook her head with a grin. "This is why you'd never make it as an Auror, Arthur." She picked at the fishnet shirt covering her arms and the irritating false tattoo that she hadn't put on herself. Tonks tilted her head as she regarded her Order colleague and blew away a shot of cobalt hair from her eyes.
"Tell you what; since i sort of work here for the next"--She looked down at her chunky digital watch (borrowed from her father)--"fifteen minutes, i suppose i should tell you about our deals." Tonks held up a package of small batteries and rolled her eyes, her lips quirking impishly. If she had to work undercover to wait for a lead, she'd at least take advantage of the small fortunes the job pushed at her. And Arthur Weasley was predictable. "We're having a sale on our torch batteries; buy ten, get one free." There were no deals.
Arthur's eyes lit up. "I'll take it!" He reached forward to where she held a small plastic bag and frowned when she pulled it away from him. "T-o-onks," the man whined. Tonks had to try to hold back her snort.
"I'm sorry, but i can see that deal isn't for you." She stowed the bag of batteries--she technically wasn't able to sell anything here. She shook her finger at him and dug through her shoulder bag. "You, sir, i can see have a great eye for value. It's a talent, am I right?"
Arthur smiled and puffed out his chest. "I like to think so."
Tonks nodded. "That's what I thought--Aha!" She pulled from her bag a large muggle battery that she'd tied on a shoelace and held in her other hand a broken wire. She swung the battery in front of him. "This, my good sir, is a 9-volt battery. Notice how the...sticky-outey-things...are…both on the same…end. Side?" The bright orange shoelace held none of his attention; at least not with something as fascinating as a 9-volt battery hanging on the end.
TOnks was incredibly grateful that she wasn't a salesperson because only Arthur would fall for it.
She smirked. Like taking candy from a baby, only much more amusing.
Arthur Weasley looked as if he was confused. "Won't i get more if i go with the other offer, though?"
"Aha, like I said, an eye for value." She'd found the battery in Sirius' basement. What it was doing there she had no idea, though. Tonks held out her other hand, dangling the severed electrical cord. "This, my friend, is an American vacuum plug. Yours free with the purchase of this beauty." The battery tottered back and forth, back and forth, and it reflected in his eye.
He was giddy. However, he tried to hide it, and anyone other than an Auror mightn't have caught the adrenaline-pumped shaking of his hands. "That's quite a bargain you pose, miss."
She quirked an eyebrow. "I'd call it almost a steal, good sir." The broken electrical cord was beginning to break into the skin on her finger. "All this is yours—for only two galleons and seventeen sickles."
Mr. Weasley looked appalled. "That's...Tonks!"
The man needed to stop whining. "Mr. Weasley--or Fredrickson, if you prefer--I assure you," she pushed his fedora back towards him and placed the glasses back on his face, "this is the best deal you can get. I'll even throw in a watch battery. Straight from this very watch." Her wrist twisted in front of his nose as she nodded encouragingly. "So, what do you say?"
Hardly a minute later, Tonks was leaning back on the counter with her gum smacking between her teeth, looking very much the exact image as she had when Arthur Weasley had walked in. The difference, however, was the smirk on her dark purple lips that showed she was enjoying her rendezvous much more than she had before and the coins that lined her pocket. She waved at the man's retreating figure, once again donned with that pesky fedora and dark glasses, his hands stuffed back into the deep pockets. She laughed as she saw him pull at the rim of the hat through the window, nodding absent-mindedly to another tall man wearing a similar ensemble just as he disappeared from view.
The bell above the door dinged again and Tonks nearly choked as the man wearing the beige trench and fedora that had just passed Arthur pushed his way in, looking as nervous as it's most recent visitor. This man was extremely pale, lipless, and had no nose to speak of to hold up dark glasses. He fumbled nervously with some sort of remote in his hand as he pulled the fedora to cover his red eyes. His other hand held a remote-controlled racecar, coloured bright red and decked out in flames.
The man's voice was high and hissing and anyone else might have wondered if he was faking it as Arthur had. "I need batteries, unworthy muggle. Get them for me and face my wrath."
She leaned forward to verify her suspicions. Yup, Voldemort. Batteries or face the wrath of voldemort hugging his plastic racecar with extreme possession. And This was he-who-they-all-feared-so-much.
"Don't you mean or?"
The man's face curled in distaste. "What do you mean? What did I say?"
Tonks' short chipped black nails pulled at her brightly coloured gum. "And. You said and. Shouldn't you have said or? 'Get them for me or face my wrath'?"
Voldemort thought about it a moment. "…No?" it came out as a question.
"The right answer," Tonks said slowly in an overly sweet voice, "is yes. Yes ma'am, actually. You wouldn't want me to keep the batteries from your racecar, would you?"
The Dark Lord slammed his fist down on the counter. "Are you threatening me, muggle? I have more power than you could even imagine; I could make even your worst nightmares shake in their boots."
Tonks smirked. "My nightmares don't wear boots. They wear scuba-flippers." Scuba-flippers really could be quite terrifying.
Voldemort's eye twitched. "Get me the bloody batteries, human!"
She shook her head. "Now, that wasn't very polite. I think you should use your manners and ask again later." She flipped the page of a magazine, her gum smacking loudly in her mouth. She heard Voldemort give a groan and she smiled in triumph.
"If you think I'm going to give in to a foolish little girl like you then you're—"
Tonks held up the string without taking her eyes off the magazine. "Batteries, Mister Riddle." Upping the ante.
"How did you know my—"
Tonks pulled the string back. "Fine, if you don't want them then—"
"Fine!" Voldemort hugged his racecar against his chest even tighter. "I'd like to buy the batteries, ma'am." His throat sounded strangled, as if he was dying as he said the words. His red eyes twitched.
All hail the Dark Lord.
Tonks exercised her poker-face, because this gig was getting better and better as the day went. She reached beneath the counter and pulled out yet another battery on a string. "Would you like to hear our limited-time offers? One day only..."

My passenger side headlight was cracked so I had to find a new one ASAP. After searching for the part online I came across Go-Parts.com. Not only did I get the best price I could find, but the headlight arrived IMMEDIATELY so I was able to install right away. I was very impressed, and will definitely go with choosing Go-Parts as my #1 choice for auto parts. THANKS!
|4.5 / 5 stars
Part came exactly as promised, although I thought ordering it on 2/16 and receiving it on 2/26 was an awfully long time. The part was finally installed today (side-view mirror) and I notice a definite vibration in the mirror when the car is moving (which was not the case with the original Nissan mirror). but for $50 including shipping, it was well worth it and I would recommend Go-part in the future.by amybeth4

52nd International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennal: Shaun Gladwell
For nearly 30 years the Australian Government's arts funding and advisory body, the Australia Council for the Arts, has managed and funded specially selected Australian artists to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale. Every two years Venice becomes the world stage for the Biennale, which is the leading showcase for contemporary art. The Australia Council for the Arts is committed to creating opportunities within the international community to not only view Australian contemporary art, but also to collect it. The oldest and most important visual arts biennial event is the Venice Biennale.
This website was originally created to promote Australia and the artists who participated in the 2009 Venice Biennale. I felt it a shame that the domain for for site expired and it's content's essence lost. Therefore when I discovered the domain was available I purchased it with the goal of recreating the original site from its archived 2009 pages. Well, that proved to be a problem since there were no good archived pages available. So instead I decided to create, from outside sources, a site that gives a little background about Autralia's most well known artist who participated in the 2009 Venice Biennale, Shaun Gladwell.
I admit I am a real fan of Shaun Gladwell's work, which is why this site is mainly about his installation, MADDESTMAXIMVS. I was in Venice for work but lucked out that it was at the same time of the 2009 Venice Biennale. I am part of a team that does custom software development for a number of companies in industries with higher-than-usual security and privacy concerns. I had been sent to Italy as a consultant and perhaps to drum up some new business. Since the progressive software company I work for supports every aspect of the software and product development life cycle starting from feasibility analysis, to user experience design and prototyping, to development of scalable solutions, I felt I had a good chance in finding some good leads. The actual client I was a consultant for had several of her people show me around Venice as well as the Biennale. I then spent the rest of my free days at the Bienniale returning several times to the Australian pavilion specially to walk through Shaun Gladwell's installation.
Enjoy my homage to Shaun Gladwell's MADDESTMAXIMVS: Planet & Stars Sequence, for the Australian pavilion.
Just like each of the 29 countries that participate at the Venice Biennale, the Australia Council has its own pavilion. Designed by renowned Australian architect Philip Cox, it was first opened in 1988.
Australia's presence at the Venice Biennale has been a great opportunity for a number of Australian artists. Often their exposure at the Biennale has resulted in commissions or requests from other international art galleries and museums asking to show their work.
MADDESTMAXIMVS: Planet & Stars Sequence
Shaun Gladwell
One contemporary Australian artist, Shaun Gladwell, who works in video, film, photography, painting, sculpture/installation, performance/choreography and text, has represented Australia twice at the Venice Biennale.
In 2007, he was one of three Australian artists selected by Director Robert Storr to participate in the 52nd International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale. When he was again invited to exhibit at the biennial in 2009, he decided that his installation, MADDESTMAXIMVS: Planet & Stars Sequence, for the Australian pavilion would be built upon the foundation of interest and support created by his participation in the 2007 Venice Biennale.
While extremely contemporary in a format which consists of several projects that intersect with each other through various locations and performances this multi-screen work,
is steeped in art history. ;By revisiting a nationalistic fervor associated with a previous period of Australian art and the old archetype of the hero exiled to the wilderness, (think of Mad Max from the movies) Gladwell puts a brave new spin on existentialist big-themes.
Gladwell's continuing engagement with extreme sports is on display in MADDESTMAXIMVS by relocating inherently urban activities to the natural environment. The disparity encourages unique interpretations of the performances, while simultaneously littering the landscape with performing bodies and actions. The activities are provocative: road kill kangaroos, found on the side of highways by a black leather clad motorcyclist are given a ritualistic burial, a group of figures spin against natural rock formations and an individual rapidly painting and then erasing images of the universe in open arid settings.
Negotiating works within the conventions of art history and traditional landscape painting via performance, Shaun Gladwell re-imagines familiar territory. His the entire installation at the Australian Pavilion operates as a vanitas or memento mori with evocative images that are projected alongside sculptures that question function and the object's relationship to the moving image.
The resulting work, which Gladwell describes as "per-formative landscapes" are both rhythmic and poetic with a distorted sense of speed, space, gravity, and time while he explores visual and spatial paradoxes.
Shawn Gladwell has gone on to become an internationally recognized contemporary artist exhibiting throughout Australia, Asia, the United States and Europe.

Six of us went to the winery after River Tubing at Watermelon Park. We paid $5 each to taste six wines. If you wanted to take your glass home, it was an additional $5. The Chardonnay, Cabernet and Blend were very good. The Raspberry to tart for my liking and the Peach to mild in flavor. The Norton was did not live up to it's description. So, three out of six, not bad. We sat outside and enjoyed our wine with the picnic we brought. They do have small snack items for purchase: cheese, crackers, sausage. They had a young woman playing her guitar and singing inside. They opened the windows so we could hear her sing from where we were seated outside. The rest of our group, ten additional people arrived about an hour after us. There was plenty of seating to fit everyone outside or inside. The view is amazing. One negative is that they only have one bathroom, shared by man or woman, total ONE bathroom. If they could expand and add another it would get a 5 star rating.

Entrepreneurs and digital businesses require different types of help at different stages of their growth. We offer programmes aimed at driving growth across the lifecycle of a digital business.
As examples, the Tech City UK Cluster Alliance connects digital businesses across the UK, whilst the Future Fifty programme offers concierge style support to for businesses with high growth. In November 2014, we launched the Digital Business Academy which provides free expert digital business courses to anyone in the UK.
Early in 2015, we released the most comprehensive analysis of the clusters powering the digital economy: Tech Nation. The next month we launched HQ-UK: an initiative which demonstrates the benefits of basing your international HQ in the UK.
Soon after, Tech North was established, delivered through Tech City UK. The specific goal of Tech North is to accelerate the development of the North's digital economy through the promotion and support of digital entrepreneurship.

The Future Fifty assists growth-stage digital companies:

We deliver this through a curated suite of private sector expertise, equipping the companies with the knowledge and skills that help them effectively navigate the next steps in their growth journey. So far on the programme we have delivered:
- Over 240 distinct 1-1 actions: providing a wide range of support, from practical assistance through to advising management on funding options
- Numerous strategic introductions to key stakeholders, both in the UK and overseas
- An additional neutral perspective on key strategic decisions for many companies

Empowering Digital Entrepreneurs in the North of England
Why the North?
The digital technology sector employs around 1.46M people across the UK and is predicted to outperform all other occupation categories by 2020. 75% of the digital companies driving the growth of the digital economy exist outside of the capital.
Today, the Northern Powerhouse is establishing itself as a centre for global excellence in digital innovation. The UK's only FTSE 100 Technology company, Sage, was founded and is headquartered in the North East. Two of the biggest tech IPOs of 2014 were Manchester-based and – founded companies – AO.com and Boohoo. It is home to the UK's fastest supercomputer at Tech Daresbury in Cheshire and its universities are undertaking groundbreaking R&D in areas from health to data and cloud computing. From global excellence in health tech, media tech, data analytics, gaming and ecommerce, the North's digital economy is driving real change and growth.
Why we exist
At the heart of our mission is the desire to create prosperity and opportunity for the next generation, ensuring the North is and continues to be part of the UK's ongoing journey to becoming the world's leading digital economy.
Who we are
Established in 2015, Tech North is a government-funded initiative delivered through Tech City UK. The specific goal of Tech North is to accelerate the development of the North's digital economy through the promotion and support of digital entrepreneurship. Our remit is to attract talent, entrepreneurs and investment to the North of England specifically the seven cities of Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Sunderland.
What we do
Working in collaboration and partnership with stakeholders across the North we aim to address the challenges tech entrepreneurs face in accessing finance, support, mentorship and talent. We champion initiatives that support the development of the North's digital economy working with local and central government to inform policies that help accelerate growth. Working with Tech City UK, we'll give digital entrepreneurs in the region a national and international voice.
Whilst it's very un-British to brag, we believe the UK is the number one international hub for your digital business. Choose a UK international HQ. Here's why.
We like to think of the UK as one big brain, with tech clusters across the country – like different parts of the brain—talking to each other and sparking innovation.
That is why we've created the Tech City UK Cluster Alliance, made up of representatives across the country supporting their local ecosystem. It's aim is to accelerate the growth of digital businesses in cities around the UK, share best practices, drive opportunities and link up groups across the UK engaged in digital innovation.
There is a huge opportunity to make the most of our cities' respective digital strengths. Every city is a tech city, with its own unique DNA. Cities need to build up their local tech skills and infrastructure, while forging deep links with other tech clusters across the country.
The current clusters in the Alliance are Edinburgh, Belfast, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, North East (Newcastle and Sunderland), Birmingham, Bristol & Bath, Oxford, Cardiff, Cambridge, Norwich, Brighton and Bournemouth.

Winners of Internet of Things Launchpad Unveiled
Along with our partners, Innovate UK and Cambridge Wireless, we recently announced the seven winners of the Internet of Things Launchpad competition. The winners represent some of the most exciting early stage companies in the IoT space. Based in London and Cambridge, the companies will share grant funding of up to £1m.
During the selection process the panel looked for pioneering projects taking Internet of Things activity into innovative new areas. The winning projects are:
- Digital Shadows Limited – A project to identify, enumerate and attempt to mitigate some of the IoT-related security risks facing businesses, cities and individuals
- Product Health Limited – A new service for connected batteries, representing a step change in the way batteries are managed in the off-grid energy sector
- ThinkInnovate Limited – An IoT defence scanner, consisting of a portable scanning device, a mobile app and a web app and designed to increase confidence in IoT
- Arjun Technology Ventures Limited – Wireless remote collection of data from multiple in-field sensors to make digitised farming enterprises a commercial reality
- 1248 Limited – A project to encourage and improve cycle journeys in London and Cambridge, by discovering, processing and providing relevant sensor data
- OpenTRV Limited – A venture to work out the optimum combination of sensors to use inside buildings and outdoors to detect environmental information, such as the presence of people and the weather
- Superflux Limited – A compact air quality monitoring and GPS tracking sensor that can be easily fitted to child's pushchair
In addition to the funding grant, the winners will benefit from access to expertise and business support from the programme's private sector partners: EE, John Lewis, Unilever, Bosch, Seedcamp, Red Gate, Cisco, Hive by British Gas, RPD and Fab Lab London. These partners will offer the winning companies the opportunity to access a range of support, from investment, and access to markets and mentorship, to retail for showcasing products to consumers.
IoT describes automatic 'smart' communications between objects – rather than between computers and mobiles – through the internet without human intervention. Through embedded sensors and other devices, such objects allow a wide variety of industrial and domestic activities to become fully automated, while also maximising efficiency and sustainability.
Market projections suggest an IoT industry comprising of 26bn devices by 2020, rising to a trillion by 2025. It is predicted to become a $500bn global technology market by 2019, supporting an even more extensive market for products and services.
Winners will have up to six months to start their projects and up to 24 months to complete the work they've set out to do. Innovate UK's Monitoring Officers will observe the process.
What is match funding?
Funding of up to 60% of eligible costs (refunded on a monthly basis) with individual grants of up to £150k and estimated project sizes ranging between £50k and £250k will be available. We will look at applications for projects larger than £250k, but the grant funding will be capped at £150k. Projects can last up to 12 months and should be led by micro, small or medium-sized companies that we anticipate are likely to be in the early stages of their development. This will all be monitored by the Technology Strategy Board's Monitoring Officers.
What are the Timescales?
Winners will have up to 6 months to start their projects once they have been given a conditional offer letter and will have up to 24 months to complete the work they've set out to do. This will all be monitored by the Technology Strategy Board's Monitoring Officers.
Why the internet of things?
The Internet of Things refers to that magical point where the physical and digital connect. It's about using the latest digital technology to allow physical objects to "talk" to each other.
The whole purpose is to improve our lives, to allow us to do things that once seemed impossible. On a consumer level, this might mean electricity meters that talk to the grid to get you the best deals. Or health monitors to keep an eye on your heart rate. On a macro level, it could result in new flood warning systems that use sensors and the Internet to predict problems ahead of time. Water pipes that warn of a fall in pressure. Or a more efficient bus transport system.
Research analysts Gartner predict by 2020, nearly 26 billion physical devices will be transmitting data to each other via the Internet. For innovators and tech engineers, the opportunity is staggering.
It's a transformative development, and we want Britain to be a major player in this space. If you'd like more information on the IOT Launchpad competition you can find our press release here.
We believe the UK can be the best place to build a digital business. But only if we are agile and responsive to the needs of entrepreneurs.
One of the ways we shape our goals and inform Government is via the Tech City UK Pulse, designed to collate feedback from the digital business community. Regular feedback from the community is key to shape our priorities and to inform Government on an ongoing basis.
Here are some of the results from our latest Tech City UK Pulse survey:

NY-Vt. bridge's lighting problems being fixedThe Associated Press | June 27,2013CROWN POINT, N.Y. - Continuing problems with the lights on the Lake Champlain Bridge connecting New York and Vermont are expected to be fixed this week.
The New York state Department of Transportation told the Press-Republican of Plattsburgh that a blown electronic timer knocked out most of the lights on the span Tuesday night.
An Albany-area electrical contractor has been repairing wiring and sealing junction boxes on the bridge after problems arose over the winter with many of the span's more than 300 LED lights, causing them to flicker.
DOT officials say all the lights are expected to be working on Friday night.
The new $76 million Champlain Bridge opened in 2011 to replace the 80-year-old original span that was declared unsafe and then destroyed by controlled explosives four years ago.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

'Independence Day: Resurgence' Surges to $102.1 Million International Box Office
Opening in 57 markets across the world, "IDR" looks to be faring better internationally than domestically.
Opening in 57 markets across the world, "IDR" looks to be faring better internationally than domestically.
Be warned: "Independence Day: Resurgence" isn't the escapist fantasy moviegoers might be craving this stressful summer.
The full-length trailer for the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster gives us faces both old and new, inspirational speeches, and wholesale destruction.
"Independence Day Resurgence" arrives in 2016 and takes place 20 years after the events of the first blockbuster film.
The sequel's first, albeit vague, plot summary teases a worldwide defense system developed from recovered alien technology. But will it be enough when the invaders return?
The "Dark Knight" and "2012" actor will reportedly play the leader of the Chinese Space Squadron in director Roland Emmerich's sequel.
The Hollywood veteran will reportedly have a lead role as a top general in director Roland Emmerich's sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.
Producer and co-writer Dean Devlin reveals a photo of himself with the actor, writing, "Hanging with David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) 20 years later is a dream come true!"
The actor, who plays Prince Doran Martell's bodyguard Areo Hotah on the HBO series, joins a cast that includes Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth and Sela Ward.
The "CSI: NY" veteran joins a rapidly expanding cast that already includes Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, Brent Spiner and Liam Hemsworth.
The actress is expected to play the daughter of Bill Pullman's former President Thomas J. Whitmore in the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.
The two actors join fellow franchise veterans Vivica A. Fox, Jeff Goldblum and Brent Spiner in the sequel to Roland Emmerich's 1996 blockbuster.
