I stayed at the Homewood Suites-Clovis for a week on business. I was greeted with a smile and a genuine "how are you today?" by almost every employee-housekeeping, kitchen staff, front desk, etc. So refreshing! I genuinely felt like a guest and not an inconvenience. This hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms are like 1 bedroom apartments, complete with a full kitchen, dining area, living room, and a separate bedroom. The full, warm breakfast in the morning was delicious. They even serve a light dinner most evenings which I never attended but they were always popular. There is a free shuttle that will take you anywhere within a 5-mile radius. I wanted to go to Old Town Clovis, and an employee cheerfully drove me there and dropped me off at her favorite store, with shopping advice. When I was ready to be picked up, I called the front desk, and the shuttle was there within 10 minutes to bring me back to the hotel.
I truly have nothing negative to say about this hotel.
Would stay here again if my travels ever brought me back to the Fresno area.

The TropicsPosted Jul 21, 2016
Nice area but the hotel was not so nice. They don't tell you that not all rooms don't have a/c. Ours didn't and it was a sweatbox. An ice cold shower and before you dried off you were soaking wet again. It was HORRIBLE! No room service so we could have real coffee in the room and not the revolting instant. Never again!

Close to lots!Posted Jul 18, 2016
Good location. Close to 2 tube stops, a number of restaurants, gifts shops and general shopping. The hotel provided cooking utensils, laundry service, and luggage check for our late flight.

Not a VIP hotelPosted Jul 17, 2016
Disappointing hotel experience. Was really looking forward to a nice hotel for holidays with family. I thought it would have been much better by looking at the pictures and description and the fact that it was a VIP hotel. Instead, the hotel was run down and showing its age. The facilities and room was just not what we expected. Small and lack of amenities. I would not recommend this hotel for the price that we paid.

Poor facilities, cramped roomsPosted Jul 10, 2016
Had a triple apartment was small, dingy and not well kept. Floor was uneven and there were steps in the room. Hotel is well situated easy access to most things.

Posted Jun 28, 2016
Pros: Friendly staff and the rooms were a nice size
Location: Hyde Park was close and there was close access to two underground stations, allowing access to three lines. Very easy access to tourist sights.
This was a good hotel for families looking for a location close to transportation, shopping, and eateries. There were grocery stores nearby so we were able to save money by preparing breakfast in the kitchenette in our room.

Very disappointing - 1990s decor & felt unsafePosted Jun 22, 2016
Cons: Furnishings need to be updated and of a better quality, and additional locks on external doors
The photos of the apartments don't tell the whole story. The apartment I was upgraded to had very dated furniture and furnishings. While the apartment was relatively clean it was in average condition. Being on the ground floor with french doors which couldn't be locked from the inside (albeit the french doors didn't have a door handle from the outside) it felt very unsafe for a single woman traveller on her own. External steps up to other apartments and the restaurant being located nearby meant there was high foot traffic outside of the apartment - adding to the feeling of not being very safe.

The custom-designed 360 Cover is a trim, ultra-modern way of protecting your NOOK HD. The textured polyurethane exterior with matching stitching is both rugged and pleasing to the touch; inside, a lightweight but sturdy plastic shell cradles your device securely while allowing easy access to the controls. But that's just part of the story. You can easily turn the cover into a stand by locking the small tabs on the side of the shell into specially engineered slots on the inside front cover. Now you're viewing your screen in typing mode (landscape). Prefer reading mode (portrait)? No problem: the shell can swivel a full 360 degrees, allowing you to change the orientation. A sueded lining and a debossed "nook" logo put the finishing touches on this exciting product.
- Dimensions: 5.5" x 8" x 1"
- Polyurethane exterior, sueded lining, plastic interior shell

Great cover. It's functional. It protects the device and at the same time does it job impeccably well.
I really likethe 360 stand. It is the perfect cover and stand all in one. The fact that it is so versatile by allowing horizontal and vertical stand options, is great!
Love this cover! It is great to read an ebook without having to prop the nook up on something else.
I really like this cover. It is a great stand and made very well, qualitywise. The only complaint I have is that it does not have a closure so when you put it in your bag (purse) it opens. I would have really loved it if it had a magnetic tab or band. There were not too many cover that did have that.
Been using this for my Nook for about a month and it great especially as a stand.
This is a great cover for my new NOOK HD! Feels like a book cover, not heavy and works as it is supposed to by protecting the NOOK and providing viewing angles horizontal and vertical easily. I only gave it a 4 because I would have liked it to come in leather! That would be cool!
My 11 year old loves it! Built to offer some protection for his nook hd, it allows him to watch videos, etc. even when taking a bath! Couple it with the anti glare cover, and it's a win-win situation. The red color is cool enough without being too kiddish.
Love this cover. pretty and functional.
It is a nice cover, does what it advertises. I am deducting a point because it is rather bulky. At home I usually remove the Nook from the cover when using it - much easier to hold.

It's getting hot and the weather is beautiful. Let's make the most of Sunday afternoon in Downtown Crossing.
Sip has some great summertime drinks that are refreshing and delicious. I find that Sunday afternoon meetups are usually really well attended. Sip is kinda upscale, so you may want to dress up a little (your own judgment, but I'd leave the Metallica t -shirt at home, even though they're a great band).
Here are some drink ideas:
Cucumber Margaritas
Spiced White Sangria
Hemingway Daiquiri
If you're a dude and don't want to get any questionable looks: MANGRIA!!!

Crohns Disease
Crohns Disease
Alternate Names
- regional enteritis
Crohn's disease is an acute and chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Though it can affect any tissue from the mouth through the anus, it commonly involves the small bowel, most frequently the ileum - that portion closest to the large intestine. Crohn's disease is one form of
inflammatory bowel disease.
What is going on in the body?
The causes of Crohn's disease are not completely understood. The disease appears to occur because bacteria that normally inhabit the bowel gain entry to the tissues inside the bowel wall and trigger a response from the immune system. Immune cells then begin to attack the cells of the bowel wall itself (an "autoimmune" response), causing the signs and symptoms of inflammation that we recognize as Crohn's disease. About 15 percent of people with Crohn's also have abnormal inflammation in other parts of the body such as the eyes, joints, or skin.
What are the causes and risks of the disease?
The causes of Crohn's disease are not completely understood, but the features of the disease suggest an
autoimmune disorder. While further research is needed, the best current theory is that the bacteria in the bowel gain inappropriate entry into the bowel wall, triggering an immune response against the surrounding tissue. It is likely that inherited factors play a role, because 20% to 25% of the people who have Crohn's disease have a close relative with this or a similar disease. Crohn's is seen about equally among men and women, and more often in whites than blacks. The disease most often begins between 15 and 35 years of age but can occur later in life.
What can be done to prevent the disease?
There are no effective ways to prevent Crohn's disease. However, tobacco smoking aggravates the disease and should be discontinued. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) may make the symptoms of Crohn's worse.
How is the disease diagnosed?
The diagnosis of Crohn's disease begins with a medical history and physical examination. A complete blood count (CBC) may show anemia (a low level of red blood cells). Lab studies may also show abnormal liver function and low levels of certain vitamins and minerals. There is no one test or feature of the disease that confirms the diagnosis.
Endoscopy (the passing of a small lighted telescope through the anus into the bowel to visualize the tissue, take pictures, and snip off tissue samples for lab examination) is very helpful in the evaluation of Crohn's Another common test is the barium enema. In this test, a contrast agent called barium is injected into the intestine and X-rays are taken. CT and MRI scanning are often helpful for diagnosis and followup of Crohn's, especially if the person has abscesses or fistulas. Sometimes the diagnosis is made during surgery that is performed to find the cause of severe abdominal pain.
Long Term Effects
What are the long-term effects of the disease?
The course of Crohn's disease varies. Because it has a tendency to come and go, it may include periods with no symptoms. If the section of bowel most affected is removed surgically, sometimes the disease recurs in another section. A fistula can form either as a direct result of the disease or as a complication of surgery. A fistula is an abnormal passage or duct connecting two different areas of bowel or connecting the bowel to the outer skin, usually near the rectum. Other long-term effects include anal fissures, which are small tears, and pockets of pus near the rectum. A bowel obstruction or a hole or perforation in the intestines is also possible.,About 5% to 10% of Crohn's patients will die from the disease, mostly because of overwhelming bodywide infection that spreads from the diseased bowel through the bloodstream. There is also a slightly increased risk of colorectal cancer in people who have Crohn's disease.
Other Risks
What are the risks to others?
Crohn's disease is not contagious and poses no risk to others. There is some tendency for the disease to run in families.
What are the treatments for the disease?
Medications used to treat Crohn's disease include the following:
- aminosalicylates, such as sulfasalazine and mesalamine (i.e., Asacol)
- corticosteroids, such as prednisone, methylprednisolone, and a newer agent called budesonide (i.e., Entocort EC) that acts locally on the surface of the bowel and is not absorbed as are other steroids
- medications that blunt the body's immune response, such as azathioprine, 6MP, (mercaptopurine, i.e., Purinethol) and methotrexate (i.e., Trexall)
- antibiotics, such as metronidazole (i.e., Flagyl) and ciprofloxacin(i.e., Cipro, Proquin), for infections and fistulas
- inflixamab (i.e., Remicade), a medication that targets the chemicals that frive inflammation
Some persons need extra vitamins, minerals, and salts. A healthy diet is essential for maintaining body weight. Milk products may be restricted if the person also has
lactose intolerance. In severe cases, a person may need to be fed through an intravenous tube to improve his or her nutritional status. Fifty to Seventy percent of the people with Crohn's disease will have surgery at least once, however, surgery is not curative and may be required more than once.
Several different surgical approaches have been used:
- A section of the intestines that is severely damaged or obstructed may be removed with a procedure called a resection and anastamosis. The damaged portion is cut out, and the bowel is sewn back together.
- If the rectum is diseased, an
ileostomymay be done. This procedure involves taking a portion of the bowel to the outside through a hole in the abdomen and attaching a drainage bag.
- An incision and drainage may be done to drain abscesses, or pus pockets, near the rectum.
- A fistula repair may be done to close abnormal openings caused by the disease.
Side Effects
What are the side effects of the treatments?
Many of the medications used to treat Crohn's disease can cause stomach upset, allergic reactions, and an increased susceptibility to infection or even cancer. Steroids such as prednisone can cause softening of the bones (osteoporosis). Because people with Crohn's disease have increased susceptibility to infections, they should always be kept up to date on their immunizations, and monitored for tuberculosis infection with a skin test.
Persons taking metronidazole may have severe vomiting and abdominal pain if they drink
alcohol. Surgery may be complicated by bleeding, infection, or allergic reaction to the anesthetic.
After Treatment
What happens after treatment for the disease?
Crohn's disease is a long-term disease with occasional flare-ups. There can be periods without any symptoms. However, the symptoms usually reappear.
How is the disease monitored?
There is no specific test to monitor Crohn's disease. However, affected persons need to monitor themselves symptoms carefully and report any new or worsening symptoms, especially abdominal pain, fever, or diarrhea, to the healthcare provider. Because persons with Crohn's are at increased risk for colon cancer, they should receive an endoscopy of the colon (colonoscopy) when the diagnosis of Crohn's is made.

They aren't THAT rare to condone the nearly $500 markup. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY!
This iPad Mini is not quite the most recent model (it's been upgraded to the "iPad Mini 2 and from October 2014 the iPad Mini 3"), but it's still an incredibly beautiful device. Oddly enough, it's so beautifully easy to use (my one year old daughter loves playing with it), it's almost doesn't feel like a computer at all.
I bought one for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. We sold the previous Android tablet as it just sat in a drawer not being used.
A word of warning - this review is written for people who've never owned an iPad before - and are wondering what all the fuss is about. Don't read this if you already own an iPad or Mini and are thinking about an upgrade - I'd recommend you simply buy a mini with Retina or an iPad Air.
Just what's all the fuss about?
I used to own a laptop for work, and (very occasionally), it'd sit on my lap on the sofa, and I'd use it for pleasure (eMail, watching films or playing the odd game). Then I bought my first iPad, and the laptop became redundant, a boring "work device". Hard to explain, but the fact the iPad is so small and light, and you navigate around with your finger by pointing and gently swiping the screen makes the whole experience a lot easier - a lot more fun.
Even my most "luddite" of friends have been won over.
It's incredibly simple and easy to use (it only has one main button), and everyone from my one year old daughter to my 85 year old dad have taken to without problems. It's size and shape also support using it like a book (literally to read a book or web page), but you can also watch TV and films.Read more ›
The main advantages from my point of view:
- Screen size. As big as a piece of paper--not cramped like my iPhone screen.
- Weight. Just like a legal pad with a cover. Maybe just a little heavier.
- Keyboard. Big enough to type with two hands. Two fingers, in my case, but still...
- Apps. All iPhone's supported, with 2x mode for those that don't adapt to the big screen.
- Convenience. Type notes, documents, dissertations anywhere without setting up a laptop.
- Newspapers. I didn't think that screen size mattered for news apps, but it does somehow.
- Web browsing. As good as a desktop; better than iPhone special interface apps.
- Pictures and movies. Wow!
The minor disadvantages:
- The size. No complaints, but it is less convenient to carry than my iPhone. Well, of course it is.
- No split screen. I really would like to have two apps side-by-side.
- Not a laptop replacement. This is fine--but don't kid yourself. Keep your laptop.
- Not an iPhone replacement. Not small or convenient enough. Also no phone.
- Too shareable. Unlike an iPhone, which is clearly personal, people feel free to borrow it. Grrr!
- Too pricey.Read more ›

thought them a good read. For the life of me, I just could not like the Hero OR Heroine in this
This is the Story of Sir Daniel Drummond, a Malignant Noble during the time of the execution of
Charles I and exile of Charles II and of Henrietta Asby (aka Harry) the mis-treated and mis-
understood, willful country gentle maiden.
They meet when Sir Daniel rescues Henrietta from the Battlefield at Preston. Due to the terrible
circumstances of her homelife, Henrietta ran away from home to be with her "supposedly" true
love Will, who was fighting with the royalists. In a quick turn of events Sir Daniel proposes to
Henrietta, she accepts, and the story however bad it started out, gets worse.(in one week she
went from Loving Will to marrying Sir Daniel?)
Henrietta is the kind of fictional character you literally want to strangle. She is so wishy washy.
The girl doesn't know whether she is Arthur or Martha. At times she is about at animated as a
limp rag and when she does do something, you just want to cringe and think to yourself. Ohh
well THAT was stupid!!!
And then there is Sir Daniel our stoic hero. He acts like a bit of a git really. He is so
condescending to the Heroine. Although you tend to feel for the man because he has saddled
himself with Henrietta.
I couldn't do it. I picked it up three times and all three time I threw it back down. Read a
magazine, that's what I say.

EXCLUSIVE: Shopper struggles to alert Walmart, local officials of fire hazard
Vista resident Esther Daniels said she couldn't believe it when she saw a product that amounted to a floating fire hazard on sale at a Walmart in Oceanside the Friday before Memorial Day.
Daniels said she was even more stunned when she couldn't get store, fire or federal security officials to do anything about it.
The product, called Celebration Sky Lanterns, was being sold for $5.97 (for a package of three lanterns) as recently as Tuesday at the Walmart on Marron Road in Oceanside.
Contacted Wednesday, a Walmart spokeswoman said the company was looking into the matter. "We take product safety very seriously and we want to ensure that we comply with all product-safety guidelines," she said.
The airborne paper lanterns are powered by candles, which fill the lanterns with hot air. Users then release them and they float away. Asian cultures have used the floating lanterns ---- also known as wish lanterns, flying lanterns, sky candles and Kongming lanterns ---- in celebrations for thousands of years, and it's considered good luck to release one.
Beautiful though the floating lanterns may be, releasing them in fire-prone Southern California seemed dangerous, Daniels said.
Local fire officials agreed. They said the floating lanterns are fire hazards and could easily spark a blaze.
"On the right day, you could start the Cedar fire (of 2003) with one of those," said Battalion Chief Jeff Hahn of the Vista Fire Department. "It gets up into the wind and blows into fuel and then we're off and running."
The risks were obvious to Daniels, she said.
"I thought, I just can't believe this," Daniels said when she read the product's packaging. "This is beautiful, but it's just so dangerous with the (fire) concerns we have."
A frustrating response
Daniels said she immediately asked Walmart employees at the store to take the lanterns off the shelves. They refused, she said.
She said she then called fire officials in Oceanside, Vista and Carlsbad. Officials said they would investigate the stores in their jurisdictions, but they said there were no laws against stores selling the lanterns ---- and they couldn't force sellers to stop.
"I said, 'This is a bigger concern than just this store or that store,'" Daniels said. "Each place that I called, if they were going to do anything at all, they would investigate their spot, but they wouldn't do anything about getting the word out."
Unsure where else to turn, Daniels said she called the federal Department of Homeland Security. Officials there told her the lanterns didn't fall within the department's purview, she said.
"It (the fire threat) was such an obvious common-sense thing, and I was surprised that so many people would just disregard that kind of danger," Daniels said.
Fire officials take action
There are no state or local laws against selling sky lanterns, but unpermitted use is prohibited in San Diego County under the California Fire Code and the county's Consolidated Fire Code, said Capt. Mike Mohler of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire.
Acting on a tip from the North County Times, state fire officials set out early this week to investigate reports of sky lanterns being sold at county Walmarts, Mohler said.
During the investigation, a state fire official bought five examples of lanterns at a Walmart store in Lakeside, Mohler said. The official spoke to the store manager, who agreed to immediately pull the lanterns from the store's shelves.
A regional marketing assistant for Walmart told the fire official that the company recalled the product from regional stores before Memorial Day because local fire officials had raised concerns, Mohler said. The assistant said the lanterns were left on shelves at some stores by mistake, and the company would correct the problem.
A fire official with the Oceanside Fire Department bought a sky lantern Tuesday at the Walmart on Marron Road in Oceanside, said Greg Van Voorhees, the department's fire marshal.
A fire official with the Vista Fire Department checked for the lanterns at the local Walmart on Tuesday and confirmed that they were not on shelves there, said Hahn, the Vista fire marshal.
Sold out fast
An associate for Rogers, Ariz.-based FTJ Group, the maker of Celebration Sky Lanterns, said Wednesday that it was his understanding that Walmart stores in San Diego County had pulled the product from shelves before Memorial Day.
The popular product was being sold as part of a limited promotion, he said. Most stores outside of California sold their stocks of lanterns within three days.
The associate, who declined to give his name, said the company sells the lanterns in states where sale is allowed under the law. The company asks consumers to abide by local laws and carefully follow safety instructions, he said.
Mohler said people should be aware that using the devices in San Diego County is illegal without a proper permit. He said the permitting process is stringent and officials would issue permits in very limited circumstances.
People who bought sky lanterns should return or destroy them, Mohler said.
Lanterns pretty but risky
The risks of releasing the lanterns might not be as obvious as the appeal of releasing the pretty, floating lanterns in celebrations, Hahn said.
"You're going to get a certain number of people thinking they (lanterns) are cool, and won't think it all the way through," he said. "But any situation when you have an open flame or even a hot object that could come into contact with fuel, and you could have a disaster on your hands."
Anyone who released a lantern that started a fire could be held responsible for damage and the cost of fighting the fire, Hahn said. And civil liability could be extremely costly ---- especially if anyone got hurt.
Disasters involving floating lanterns are not unheard of.
A sky lantern caused a fire at a home in Wiltshire, England last July, according to a report by BBC News. The lantern landed on exposed insulation in a partially built extension to the home, sparking a blaze while a mother and her two children were sleeping inside.
One of the lanterns was also blamed for a fire at a home in Zhengzhou, a city in central China, according to a 2009 article by ABC News. A lantern drifted onto the home and sparked the blaze.
Sky lanterns have disrupted flights in China, and an English farmer blamed them for killing three of his cows, according to news reports.
The farmer said his cows died non-fire-related, although agonizing, deaths after lanterns drifted into his fields and bits of wire got chopped into crops for the cows' feed, according to an article last September in The Daily Mail.
Countries and cities throughout the world have banned the lanterns, according to news reports.
In Australia government officials ruled they posed a risk of brush fires. They placed a permanent ban on sky lanterns on Feb.1, 2011, making those who fail to comply with the ban subject to prosecution and fines up to $220,000 for an individual or $1.1 million for a corporation, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's website.
Correction: The Cedar fire was in 2003. A previous version of this story said it happened in 2007. We apologize.

Re: HSBC Retail/Cap
1/WFNNB Frustratio ns
I have a Carsons card/account since 1993 and on my credit report it states that the account is closed and transferred to another lender with NO new TL. It's just closed. I have tried to get them (WFNNB) to report the account but they haven't since July. You are lucky that they are reporting it. I have heard a lot of bad things about this company, so I will continue to pay on time and continue to wait.

Christmas Myths?Written by Duke Pesta
In this day and age, when something is described as myth, people think of it as false history, not as something mythic. And we falsely assume that society can be free of "myth."
In the following video presentation, Dr. Duke Pesta, academic director at FreedomProject Education, encapsulates key points he made in his "Christmas Myths?" cover story in the December 24 issue of The New American.
The leader of the American Humanist Association has a request for new members of Congress: Don't join the Congressional Prayer Caucus because it "discriminates against non-religious Americans." In a letter to incoming legislators, released shortly after the November 6 elections, the group's director, Roy Speckhardt, complained that some of the over 100 members of the Caucus, founded in 2005 by Congressman Randy Forbes (R-N.C.), "have repeatedly introduced and supported legislation that we feel is unconstitutional and often favors religious institutions and individuals over non-religious institutions and individuals."
Officials in a North Carolina school district are being called to task after they forced a first grader to remove references to God from a poem she had written to honor her grandfather, a Vietnam war veteran.

Linux Journal Demographics
Do you ever wonder who else reads Linux Journal? "No" you say? All your best friends and buddies already have their two-year subscriptions? All those friends live not necessarily in your neighborhood, but all over out there in Internet-land?
Well, we know that at least a few of you are curious about those other folks. (And besides, it's a chance for us to put some colorful pie charts on this page and dazzle you with statistics!)
The distribution of Linux Journal as of the October Buyer's Guide issue was 30,000. Our readers include subscription-holders as well as those who buy the magazine in bookstores and other retail outlets.
Of our subscription-holders, 70 percent are in the United States, and 30 percent are non-US. Inside the U.S., most magazines get sent to the famous area of the country known as "other". Our next-largest subscribership is the state of California with 17 percent. Washington state has a large percentage because we threaten all of our friends to help keep us employed! We had to put Washington D.C. on the chart because people are always getting us mixed up with them.
The non-North America pie shows Great Britian, Germany, and Asia each at approximately 17%. Australia and New Zealand have a surprising 7 percent. Miscellaneous Europe lets us know that there are plenty of people in the Netherlands to go to the International Linux Symposium which will be held in Amsterdam in December. (See related story in the Linux Events section, page 10.) Their 14 percent is second only to France's 22 percent.
So, we hope that this gives you a little better picture of the demographics of Linux Journal subscribers. Oh, and don't forget to get an extra subscription for your Mom for her next birthday.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Supervisors approve plan to replace fire station
|The design for the new fire station.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a rezoning application July 12 to allow Fairfax County to replace the Jefferson Fire Station in Falls Church.
The existing fire station, at 3101 Hodge Place, was built in 1953 and is too small for newer, larger firefighting vehicles. The station also needs more space to accommodate female firefighters.

The Better Business Bureau has learned that military personnel from Colorado Springs stationed in Afghanistan are being tricked into purchasing fake gems stones, with the promise of being able to sell them for a profit when they return stateside.
Unfortunately, the majority of the stones are fake; even those that are authentic are not cut correctly, or are downright unattractive.
The BBB was first alerted to the scam after several soldiers tried selling the gems at a Colorado Springs-area jewelry store.
The BBB is urging people who have loved ones stationed overseas, specifically in Afghanistan, to alert them of the scam.

A lawsuit recently filed against the Ahwatukee Recreation Center (ARC) has been dismissed but the man behind the suit says it's just the beginning. His ultimate goal is to make membership to the ARC voluntary for all homeowners within the community.
Rayburn Coawette sued the ARC, arguing that the community CC&Rs have not been updated to reflect the 1996 amendment to the Housing for Older Person's Act, which he says means the association is not keeping up its end of a contract with homeowners. The 1996 amendment eliminated the requirement for age-restricted communities to provide "significant facilities and services" to care for the physical and social needs of its residents.
"The declaration admits it's a recreation facility designed specifically to comply with the federal HOP Act of 1989 and any amendments after that," Coawette said. "It also says it will comply consistent with every detail of the HOPA requirements regarding a provision of housing and significant facilities and services designed to meet the physical and social needs of older persons. It says it's going to comply consistently with every amendment that comes out regarding that provision. It has not done that for more than 10 years."
Coawette does not use the recreation center and feels he should not be forced to pay membership for it. According to Coawette, there are hundreds of homeowners in the community who, like himself, don't use the facility and would rather not pay for it, especially now when the ARC is considering some expensive future projects.
In pleadings to the court the HOA argued that while the amendment removed the requirement for communities to provide facilities it does not prohibit communities with those facilities from continuing to operate.
"The act made the provision of such services and facilities permissive, not mandatory," court documents said.
Judge Sally Duncan ordered Coawette to meet with the HOA Board and go through a complex discovery period before she would make a ruling in the case. Unable to meet the judge's demands in the time given, Coawette dismissed his own case. Still, the issue is not dead in his mind.
"The purpose of the lawsuit was to discover the ARC's defense regarding concealing in its declaration the public law amendment, and force compliance with that amendment," Coawette said. To force compliance with the amendment, as Coawette understands it, he would need to collect signatures from homeowners to hold a special meeting and then would need a large majority of members to approve a change to the community's CC&Rs.
"The Clinton amendment was a blessing for the whole Ahwatukee community, as well as ARC members," Coawette said. "Since the federal law no longer requires the recreation facility specifically for the physical and social needs of older persons, it is now available for better use. There is nothing to prevent it from being available to a younger and healthy general Ahwatukee public."
The ARC HOA has 1,628 lots within the community. Each lot pays for a membership to the recreation center as part of their annual assessments. The ARC also offers a social membership for people outside the community. More than 140 members are strictly social members.
The ARC does not track specific member use but Chad Miesen of Carpenter, Hazelwood, Delgado and Bolen, the HOA's attorney, said the center averages 8,000 participants per month, including duplicates but not including those who participate in activities such as Quilters, Hobby Shop, Card Players, Coffee Time, library, pickleball and bocceball.
Without mandatory assessments, which make up 90 percent of the ARC's funds, the center would not be able to operate.
Those who don't pay their assessments may be forced to pay late charges and interest and as a last resort, legal action, Miesen said. The ARC has an automatic lien under the law for delinquent assessments.

Very Nearly...........safe! he heThere is little doubt in my mind that the second half of the season will be just as tough if not more so than the first half and without doubt the chavs, everton and goons will be very, very tough competition.Sadly, I'm with JL regarding AVB, I am yet to be 100% convinced by him or his methods.However, I said at the start of the season I'd make a judgement on him by xmas and despite my reservations, he's done ok, all things considered.I will persist with looking at our current form/performance holistically. IMO there are many reasons far beyond AVB's control which have and will continue to influence our ability to 'Play The Tottenham Way', not least Levy who appears to retracting all financial support/investment, which most of agree we need.I won't be calling for AVB's head (yet), despite some of the drivel that comes out of it, IMO he's improving all the time, hopefully the rest of the team will continue to follow suit.To all y'all, Have a superb New Years Eve and a great 2013!The futures Bright, Its Lilywhite!COYS!!!

The long distance of the parking ramp to the building makes it tough to leave campus quickly (like if you need to head to work!).
At CUW, we have a three level parking structure for students to utilize. The school is connected by tunnels and hallways and the structure is the only building that is not connected to the tunnel system. I currently do not have a car on campus, so I am not as affected as other students who do have a car on campus.
I have a car and live on campus. Not too bad for me to get around. New parking structure, which is a little cold to walk to considering the rest of the school is connected by tunnels.
The cost for campus parking is very reasonable and any one can do it if they want to.
The University just built a new parking structure, but there is still a shortage at times during high volume periods of the day. The permit/semester for on-campus students is $100, which isn't bad at all.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The parking situation is best described as a battle. Students complain about the lack of parking. There is sufficient parking, but students will have to park farther away from buildings. There is no parking fee, but students are requested to register their vehicles so Campus Safety can contact them when there are problems. Freshmen are allowed to have a vehicle on campus.

Hi everyone! Long time no blog. Summer is in full effect and like many of you there doesn't seem enough hours in the day to tackle all the summer activities let alone go grocery shopping! lol!
Today I have a fun card to share. I am really slow to jump on the watercoloring band wagon. It's never been my thing, so I will tackle it piece by piece and I went for it today! I used some of the new FSJ Color Splash Sheets (this is really premium water color paper at 140lb), but I didn't use water coloring paints or pencils. Instead, I used my regular ole ink pad with some Journey Fusion Blender. I love the look this technique has on the water color paper vs traditional card stock. Much prettier and easier to blend. So, if you don't have the budget to splurge for the new Journey water color pencils, you can still get wonderful effects using what you already have!
I used one of my favorite stamp sets, Sweet You. I embossed the images in white embossing powder and colored them using the small Journey Blending Brush. After they dried, I fussy cut them and added a few gold sequins from the Twinkle Trim pack. I even busted out my sewing machine and sewed on the sentiment banner!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Here's a close up picture.

AbstractThis proposal contains SHOT's R&D concepts for a "Rapidly Configurable Modular Litter System for use in Aeromedical Transport." The Air Force is currently using the old pole and canvas style litter from pre WWII for aeromedical evacuation. A variety of medical treatment equipment is haphazardly piled on, hanging from, or setting around the litter during transport. SHOT's Care And Monitoring Evacuation Litter (CAMEL) provides an innovative system engineering solution consisting of a barebones, ergonomic, rigid litter and a quick-mate/de-mate Patient Attending Kit (PAK). The CAMEL is a self-contained, structurally stand-alone litter capable of installing directly into a variety of evacuation aircraft and can comfortably transport the patient from the battlefield to stateside. The optional PAK is a modular, scalable treatment facility, utilizing SHOT's proven power management system, along with a consolidated control screen to eliminate redundant systems. The PAK can be customized to meet the patient's changing needs during transport with hot-swappable medical tool suites. Furthermore, all patient data is collected and transferred to a central Nurses' Station for upload in to the TRAC2ES system upon patient arrival. CAMEL provides the most cost-efficient upgrade path for the Air Force's aeromedical transport system with the capability to accommodate future medical equipment.
