Product Description
Product Description
UK edition of the hit 2000 album includes four bonus tracks. 'Oude Estas', 'I Feel You' feat. Esthero, 'My Love Grows Deeper' (Single Version) & the CD-ROM video for the first single, 'I'm Like A Bird'.
Blame it on the bossa nova, but this chick has got soul. By filtering her Portuguese roots through the trip-hop she was weaned on, Nelly Furtado creates a hypnotic form of R&B/alterna-pop that at times sounds like Fiona Apple, Macy Gray, and Gwen Stefani all rolled into a Portishead song. Cutting her teeth at four Lilith Fair dates before even having a record contract, Furtado seems far accelerated beyond her 21 years. Listen and you can hear the Portuguese fado tradition, Brazilian beats, flashy urban rhymes, enough snap-crackle-and-pop to fill your breakfast bowl. Put your ear closer to the speaker, though, and you can sense that this is the sound of a multicultural young woman finding her own identity through all the pop she's been fed. If you are one of those types who likes to sing along to soaring vocals--or one who likes to get hip to a new star before she goes supernova--this is an album to own. --Heidi Sherman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This album did not disappoint. I was very impressed by how unique and original this album was, considering it was only her first album. Rather than try to sound like others, she crafted her own unique and instantly identifiable style her first time out. Her voice is as cool and different as her music.
1)Hey, Man!: great song to start the album. I love the violin at the beginning.
2)...On the Radio: this is an excellent song. She strikes down all those fake people who like an artist until they start getting famous, so they start hating that artist because they "sold out" and it's the cool thing to do. In this day and age, this song really means a lot.
3)Baby Girl: another great song. I love the chorus and the beat.
4)Legend: good song. This song has a really cool sound.
5)I'm Like a Bird: her signature song. It was overplayed, but it is still as good as the first time I heard it.
6)Turn Off the Light: I love this song. Everything works here. The video was also very memorable.
7)Trynna Find a Way: really cool beat. It has a good feel to it.
8)Party: another good song.
9)Well, Well: the chorus is great. I like this song a lot.
10)My Love Grows Deeper Part 1: good song. I like the line "My love grows deeper everyday and takes a little piece of me."
11)I Will Make U Cry: I love the beginning.Read more ›
Deserves a listen, still it`s far from a keeper.
Then, when the airplay dwindled, I felt compelled to purchase the album. I have played it, subsequently, more times than I can possibly remember. I love to put the album on while doing housework, or just for ambient music, or to crank it up and just dig the Vibes.
I very rarely enjoy an entire album, and normally only like 2-5 songs on a CD. However, I thoroughly enjoy each and every song on Nelly Furtado's album--the music, the vocals (!), the stories, et al.
I am looking-forward to purchasing her latest album, as well. I've enjoyed the Launchcast videos, as a preview.
Nelly Furtado has a very unique sound--her voice and the amazing fluctuations she can produce are soothing, powerful, emotional and humorous. I can actually see her smile, or grin with sarcasm, etc., as she sings. She obviously poured her emotions into her music. The music, itself, is very catchy. The grooves, vibes and beats stay in my head, lingering afterward. I love this CD.

Fort Rucker is celebrating.
The community was honored by the Department of Defense and the US Army for the first-time ever.
The post was named the best community in the DoD and Army. Officials credit their success to hardworking employees and area elected officials.
"When I heard all names of all the folks getting named you feel like a father who just had a child I was very proud today of all the members of our team. It wasn't just Fort Rucker, I consider it the wiregrass at large is part of our team, we can't do it without the whole wiregrass," explained Col. Stuart McRae, Garrison Commander on Fort Rucker.
Fort Rucker also presented more than 160 community members with awards for their hard work and dedication.

Josh Emett, of MasterChef and Rata restaurant fame, and New
Zealand's only Michelin star chef, praised the talent of
competitors in the Market Chef competition at Remarkables
Park on Saturday.
The skills on show did not surprise the guest judge.
''I know Kiwis can cook,'' Mr Emett saidContestants are given
an hour to create a meal from a mystery box of ingredients
and $15 worth of items of their choice from the Remarkables
Speaking after judging the first round between Naomi Lindsay
and Anna Pettigrew, Mr Emett commended both women's talent.
''It was a slow start - about 20 minutes to collect their
thoughts and make sure they get their ideas right but I think
that's kind of crucial ... it's better if they take time,''
Mr Emett said.
Ms Lindsay won narrowly. Mr Emett said she ''had used a
slightly more interesting combination of ingredients''.
In the second heat of the day, Nicky Viggers beat Paula
Parker. Heat three was held yesterday and eight competitors
are waiting to hear if they have made it through to the
The remaining heat date is February 23. The final will be
held on March 23.

This product does just as it is advertised to do. Easy to split and bend. After splitting you will have to sand the beveled edges. Just use a sanding block. Holds track in place when using either track nails or spikes, I refer spikes and caulk.

Josh Alexander is used to big things: his big truck, his big house, his big bed, his big body, his big family, his big group of friends. Heck, his favorite college, the University of Florida, is huge.
But Alexander's most important item right now is a tiny piece of plastic resting on a bed-side table, right beside a football autographed by former Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel and a helmet signed by Gators coach Steve Spurrier.
Alexander picks up the ringing little piece of plastic eight times in an hour. It is dwarfed in his man-boy hands. He squints at the tiny object, thinks for a moment and sets it down.
"Caller ID is the best thing in the world," says Alexander, a senior defensive end for St. Joseph Academy, placing his phone back on the table.
He has to make sure who is on the other end. You would too if you were ranked as one of the best high school football players in the
country and 20 colleges called your house every week, just wanting to chat, just wanting to make that one extra phone call that may get you to their school.
It's not that Alexander doesn't appreciate the attention. He does, and the truthfulness in his twangy "Yes sirs" and "Thanks you, sirs"
are evident when a college comes a calling. It's just that he sometimes has homework, or sometimes he just wants to watch a little television. He has to check; he has to be aware of who wants a piece of him, who is telling him something he wants to hear or who is acting like his friend for only one reason.
The typical high school student checks the caller ID for friends or that new girlfriend or boyfriend; Alexander checks his caller ID for Notre Dame, Florida, Nebraska, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M and Miami.
He is a beast of an athlete, 6-feet-2, 255-pounds who runs a 4.8-second 40-yard-dash with a work ethic St. Joe coach Val Gunn describes as tremendous.
Rivals.com, a leader in college football recruiting, selected him as a preseason All-American, and his name appears on almost every recruiting Web site you can find. He finished last season three sacks short of the state record and has 10 sacks, 40 tackles and three blocked punts in only four games this year. He has 40 career sacks, a mark only two other football players have reached in state history.
He is a beast of a student, proud of his 3.8 senior grade point average. And he already has a qualifying score on his ACT. He is involved in seven clubs at school and serves as the senior class president. He wants to major in business affairs and become a sports
The combination of the two preceding paragraphs is every college football coach's dream. And one has taken a particular liking to Alexander. He even wrote him a letter, one of the 160 he has received. It reads in part:
"We want you to concentrate on your team, and when your season is over, we hope our school will be the place to continue your academic and football career."
It was personally signed with Gator blue ink by Spurrier.
It's fitting, really. Alexander is a Gator fan. He hasn't missed a game since he was 3 years old, when his dad, Steve, was attending law school in Gainesville. And Alexander's room, the one painted in Gator blue? It's well on its way to Gators Museum status: Gator helmets, Gator football, a Gator lamp, two Gator pillows, Gator window blinds, Gator hats, a Gator flag in bathroom and more Gator clothes than a Gainesville sporting goods store.
And even though he has seen Florida partake in some of college football's greatest games, his fondest memory came just this past summer.
"I went to their camp, and some of the assistant coaches who had been sending me letters didn't even know my name," Alexander said. "I hustled so much and worked with some of the coaches afterward on technique. I did whatever I could to get that extra edge."
It worked. He was named co-defensive MVP of the Florida camp, which featured more than 60 of the top defensive ends and linemen from around the state.
"I've always been a Gator fan," Alexander said. "At the Kentucky game this year, I was standing there, hearing the roar when Kentucky was driving. I was thinking, 'I can't believe what it would feel like to have your name called over the speakers after a tackle or hear the chants from the field.'"
He will still field the calls from Nebraska at 11 p.m. on school nights, forgiving them with Southern kindness after the coach apologizes for forgetting the different time zones.
But he won't go far. If you ask him, he'll tell you he's probably staying in Florida somewhere. Maybe the University of Miami, maybe Central Florida. Hopefully, he says, the University of Florida.
But what about that other Florida school. The one over there in Tallahassee?
He has that look in his eyes, like you are the backside of a quarterback who doesn't see him coming.
"Oh yeah," he says, his voice drifting away. "They left a message on
Thank goodness for caller ID.

Have you heard about the webcams available through Cornell's Lab of Ornithology?� Linked�via their website -- allaboutbirds.com -- are several different webcams that allow us to see the nesting process firsthand.� A real "bird's-eye view", if you will! �You can check out Red-Tailed Hawks, Great Blue Herons, Ospreys,�and my favorite, Barred Owls.� The pictures above give a little glimpse into Mama's nest with her two little owlets.� With this advanced technology we can see Mama protecting her young and bringing food in to feed them.� The other day, Mrs. Owl brought in a small snake for her babies to snack on!
I�think it's fascinating to be able to see and watch nature like this, in a way that was never possible even just a few years ago.� The cameras don't seem to affect the birds and their babies and it allows us to participate in events that otherwise would not be available to humans.� The sheer pleasure of viewing the relationship between Mama bird and her young is great, but think about the educational effects of watching.� If you have young children at home, connect to one of these webcams today and let your little ones experience seeing birds in a new way.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 2006
Running Time: 75
Company: Legend Video
Cast: Mary Carey, Tony Tedeschi, Cassie Courtland, Katie Morgan, Nick Manning, Shark, Lexi Marie, Lee Stone, Captain Bob, Lexi Bardot
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
This talky tale squeaks into the AAA 1/2 category partly on the strength of some good sex – the Katie Morgan/Lee Stone and Mary Carey/Nick Manning match-ups particularly – plus some decent comedy acting from frequent Markman player Frank Bukkwyd. Trouble is, the dialog and the sex barely fit together.
Bukkwyd plays a TV reporter covering the Carey for Governor campaign, but he's having a hard time getting an interview with her – and when he does, he's forced to let Legend owner "Jack" (Shark) interpret Mary's answers for the audience.
Along the way, Bukkwyd interviews several couples just before or after they'd had sex with each other. So look for a hot Morgan/Stone standing 69 and mish plus a decent reverse cowgirl, and Mary doing some terrific bouncing on Nick's cock in cowgirl before a facial finish.
Retailing: Mary actually is running for governor, which may give sales of this offering a boost.

In March 2015 Inview Technology was appointed by Nigeria's government run National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to enable digital switchover from analogue[4] throughout the country and provide a Conditional Access System, set-top box software and services including full EPG, Push Video-On-Demand, a range of broadcasting applications such as news, public service information and audience measurement services over the digital terrestrial and satellite networks in Nigeria.[5]
In 2014-5 their partners include Humax and Skyworth, China's largest set-top box company,[6] and silicon partners include Mstar and Broadcom. They have recently signed a deal with Pico Digital, Inc. to develop the next generation set-top box for the Latin American market.[7] In 2014 CTH Public Company Limited, a major pay TV operator in Thailand chose Inview and Irdeto to introduce OTT and hybrid versions of its cable services.[8]
Martin Edwards (Honorary Life President of Manchester United) and Koen Van Driel (ex-CEO of Thomson and Grundig Set Top Box Divisions) joined the Board of Directors in February 2014.[9]
Inview's roots go back to 1996 when Ken and Julie Austin built a team of engineers specialising in digital TV software. Inview provided a chip based EPG, broadcast data service and a digital TV software platform for the free to air terrestrial market. It provided the first Freeview EPG service and the first Freeview PVR for the UK. These new products provided an EPG that could be deployed on low‐cost set-top boxes without incurring additional costs. 10 million products have been deployed in the past 15 years and MORAR (Independent brand measurement company) established that the end-user satisfaction levels were as high as 96%.
It was one of the first companies to launch a broadcast TV listings service, known as 4TVInteractive. However, in 2010 Inview ceased support for this service and this affected a number of Digifusion, Inverto, Thomson and Sony Set-top boxes [10] and caused them to show only now and next information, rather than a full EPG.[11]
In recent years Inview platforms have appeared in retail outlets in a number of countries, including: Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Poland, Australia, Africa and the Middle East and in partnership with Farncombe in Latin America.[12][13][14] The platform recognizes which country it's in and shows content relevant to that country as well as international content.
These include: whole country switch-over, OTT services, Broadcast solutions, Advertising, EPG, Video on Demand, Push-VOD#Push video on demand, Catch-Up TV, PVR, Legacy Upgrades for older boxes.
In October 2012, Inview developed "Liberator 3", an OTT cloud-based platform for Pay TV operators and telcos wishing to equip their customers with tailor made connected set-top boxes for broadcast and broadband internet content. The Inview platform has a small footprint (low initial cost), cloud based system (low maintenance cost for large volumes) and modular design (easy adaptation).
Inview's latest platform provides viewers with access to movies on a transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) basis, and a library of on-demand TV content available on an SVOD basis including TV series, children's programming, classic movies and music videos.[15] In August 2012 Inview agreed to supply Altech SetOne with an IP platform that will be sold across its range of DVB-S products, which will give German consumers access to a range of smart TV applications.[16] Inview have also created a content management system (CMS) to manage the platform and support the integration with an operator's existing delivery equipment, subscriber and billing systems and provide additional services, such as multiscreen functionality, search and program recommendations.[17]
Broadcast solutions[edit]
In territories where the broadband infrastructure is underdeveloped, Inview offers a broadcast solution with advertising, Push-VOD, catch up TV and PVR. These services are delivered more cost-effectively on lower end set-top boxes using overnight broadcast bandwidth, meaning users can choose what they want to watch when they want to watch it. Operators are able to charge for interactive services and integrating advertising directly into the EPG and available applications.[18] As Internet services improve, Operators can easily upgrade each broadcast VOD user with an over the air update, to also offer connected functionality.[19]
Legacy upgrades[edit]
Inview's solution for existing (older) deployed set-top boxes is to offer applications including an EPG, TV apps and content discovery in very lightweight code that can run in devices with limited memory and processing power.[20] This improves the user's experience and introduces revenue generating services, through an over-the-air update, creating a unified UI and services across all platforms.[21] By June 2015 Inview had upgraded over 10 million legacy set-top boxes worldwide.[22]
Inview has developed the platform for a low cost HDMI dongle streaming device called "Lolipop" which is controlled through a smartphone using gesture control. This allows content such as VOD, live streamed channels and social networking apps to be viewed on a mobile device or on another TV without the need of a set-top box.[23][24]
Board members[edit]
In February 2014, Martin Edwards (Honorary Life President of Manchester Unites) and Koen Van Driel (ex-CEO of Thomson and Grundig Set Top Box Divisions) were appointed Board Directors of Inview Technology. At Thomson, Koen grew the company to be the World's largest set top box manufacturer. Martin Edwards was Chairman of Manchester United for 23 years from 1980-2003 and holds the position of honorary life president.
In 2014 their partners included: Kaon, Humax, Skyworth, Broadcom, Alitech, Mstar, Novatek, Farncombe, Goosat, Hopeful, ATech, Giec, MTC and MICO.
Kaon and Inview recently collaborated to provide a free-to-air set top box solution with features such as Push-VOD, interactive services, advertising and early warning services alongside live digital channels, ideal for regions that are still to undergo analogue switch off.[25]
In previous years Inview has been in partnership with companies such as Top Up TV, the On Demand Group (ODG) and Teletext.[26]
Key Staff[edit]
As well as Markham, Ken and Julie Austin, staff also include:
- Diego Martinez: SVP, Americas. Martinez has held senior VP roles at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, Americas President at UTstarcom, and most recently as COO at Logicalis.
- Raza Ansari: SVP, Asia Pacific. Ansari has past experience of working with Conax and Zappware.
- Mark Rooney: Past head of European operations for Terayon and Entone, CEO of Helsinki's VDSL Systems Oy and Pace plc.
The founder Ken Austin is a self-taught expert in the Electronic Programme Guide field,[27] who was Technical Director and Vice Chairman of Pilkington Micro-elec Ltd.[28] [29]

I have been suffering with eczema all over my body for over a year and a half and have been miserable. In that time I have seen 2 allergists, 7 dermatologists, a chinese medicine doctor, and a naturopath. I've had allergy tests, patch testing, used antihistamines, and steroid creams, acupuncture, taken herbs, etc. None of these really seemed to work and I did not feel I really had a solution to my problem. Dr. Maguire was the first doctor to really pin point what I needed to do to get rid of the eczema. Dr. Maguire spent about 50 minutes with me and for every question I asked he had a literature-documented response which convinced me he is very knowledgable about allergy condition and eczema. I was so grateful for having finally found a great doctor who could help me. I also like going to PAMF as they are very prompt, I never have to wait long, and I don't have to deal with my copay, as they just send me a bill after they get the payment from the insurance company.
Best Doctor I have seen ever.

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Suns snap seven-game losing streak with win over Grizzlies
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 82-80 win over the Grizzlies on December 12.
The Good:
The Suns snapped a season-high seven-game losing streak with their 82-80 victory Wednesday over the Grizzlies. Phoenix is now 3-2 in its last five home games.
Goran Dragic hit the game-winning layup with .5 seconds left on the clock. The game-winner was the first of Dragic's career.
The win was the team's first victory with under one second left since February 28, 2011, when Channing Frye hit a buzzer-beater against the Nets.
The Bad:
Michael Beasley. He played only 10 minutes the entire game because of his ineffectiveness on the court. He shot 2-11 from the field in the game and was 0-4 from behind the arch. While he only had a -3 over/under for the game, the Suns' offense seemed out of sync when he was on the floor.
He Said It
"[Beasley's] trying hard. He is trying hard. You know what, we just have to keep working with him. That's why we are here," Gentry said.
• The Suns won while shooting under 40% from the field for the first time this season.
• Phoenix has trailed by 10 or more in five of their six home wins this year.
• The Suns have won three straight at home vs. the Grizzlies.
Up Next:
The Suns will welcome the Utah Jazz into US Airways Center on Friday night at 7 p.m. MST.

We used this manifesto as an organizational operating system, a new realm of possibility for innovation and competitive advantage. A novel aspect of it is that, unlike other documents of its kind (US constitution, the Communist Manifesto, or the agile manifesto), it has an expiration date. The members are due retrospect on its effectiveness every three months, and re-write it as they see it fit. Thus the organization itself, and not just the product, is constructed to best address market needs--on an ongoing basis. The Innovation Manifesto relies on agile/scrum, and comprises the entire "product-to-market fit" organization: software developers, product owners, product strategy, scrum masters, product support, HR, Finance, among others.

I have a ~2006 Macbook (1,1) that I am trying to resurrect as a Linux machine. I no longer want nor need OS X, so I want to install Arch as the only OS on this machine. I have tried several times to get Arch Linux installed, but I get hung up every time when it comes to installing the bootloader. I have even gotten Grub2 to install, but I can't get it to install and then boot. I've attempted following the ArchLinux Macbook guide for EFI, along with the Beginner's Guide. I've read quite a bit about UEFI, but I still can't seem to figure out where to put my bootloader.
From the errors I get when I install, it would appear that the laptop is not booting in UEFI mode, so none of the UEFI bootloader directions work. I get hung up at the following command:
grub-install --target=i386-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
It tells me to run
modprobe efivars before chrooting, but I do that and nothing happens. My understanding is that my Macbook is EFI rather than BIOS, but without it booting into UEFI mode, I can't install a UEFI bootloader.
What do I need to do to make the bootloader (1) install and (2) work. As mentioned above, I don't need OS X, and would like Arch to be the only OS on this computer.

Structure is a set for Hollywood movie
By Janine ZúñigaSTAFF WRITER
March 25, 2004
The scene describes the dilapidated Venice Beach pier 30 years ago, currently being re-created in Imperial Beach as part of an elaborate set for the feature film "Lords of Dogtown."
Locals say that while it's no longer true, the film very well could have been a description of their small seaside town.
"I.B. was Dogtown in the 1970s," said Serge Dedina, a resident who dropped by the Imperial Beach pier recently to check out the set. "You had the Hells Angels, the cholos, the vatos and the surf culture all combined. That was I.B."
Based on a popular 2001 skateboarding documentary, "Dogtown and Z Boys," the film will tell a fictionalized story of a group of young surfers from a blighted area near Los Angeles' Venice Beach known as Dogtown and how they took their radical surf style to the streets, revolutionizing skateboarding in the 1970s.
Dedina, 39, and longtime friend Aaron Quintanar, 38, who both grew up surfing and skateboarding in Imperial Beach, say filming here couldn't be more appropriate.
"The beach was a draw for everyone," Quintanar said. "You used to have to run the gauntlet on the pier when you came down here."
Imperial Beach in 2004 is a far different place than it was in the 1970s, residents say. Neighborhoods have been cleaned up. Redevelopment projects are under way. Property values have increased. And the city, unlike other local coastal beach towns, has retained its small-town feel.
Curious Imperial Beach residents and tourists have been drawn to the pier in recent weeks as construction crews work to replicate Venice Beach's old L-shaped pier with its loose pier pilings and abandoned amusement park. The frame of a Ferris wheel sits atop part of the set.
Crews should complete the set in about two weeks, when a week's worth of filming is scheduled to begin.
Actors Heath Ledger, Emile Hirsch, Johnny Knoxville and up-and-comers Jeremy Renner, Victor Rasuk, John Robinson and Nikki Reed will star. Catherine Hardwicke, fresh from "thirteen," will direct "Lords of Dogtown," which is based on a script written by Stacy Peralta, who wrote the documentary. Peralta's documentary was based on a 1999 Spin magazine article.
Imperial Beach was chosen for the film's opening beach scenes because the city was supportive of the project, the location is close to Hollywood and the Venice Beach pier could easily be re-created here. Not much has changed along the Imperial Beach shore since the 1970s, when high-rise developments were banned.
Linda Brown-Salomone, a publicist for the film, said the Venice Beach pier "sets up the Dogtown environment at the beginning of the film. The pier was the actual Z Boys surfing spot, their territory. We see the roots of their aggressive skating style."
Brown-Salomone said the original Z Boys will have cameos and have been working as instructors and consultants for the film. The movie is expected to be released in summer 2005.
David Axelson, president of the Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce, said construction crews working on the pier set and using two nearby parking lots for equipment and storage are hard to avoid. He said the buzz around town is palpable.
"People are excited," Axelson said. "It's unique. We're all to some degree movie fans and so it's neat to have it here."
Axelson said the chamber has been monitoring the effects of the production on the local economy. The chamber has provided construction crews with contact information for services small and large, from where to have their laundry done to where to buy stacks of lumber.
"Anything that can be bought in Imperial Beach, we're trying to have bought in Imperial Beach," Axelson said. "Anything that can't be bought here, we're trying to keep in the South Bay."
The San Diego Film Commission has come up with a way to track money spent in town. Cast and crew members and those visiting Imperial Beach to check out the film set are encouraged to fill out a coupon detailing how much they've spent at local restaurants, hotels and other businesses.
Called Dogtown Dollars, the coupons can be entered into a drawing for prizes, including a weekend at a hotel or spa, gift cards or movie tickets.
The San Diego Unified Port District and city officials, who approved the six-week project this month, are hoping for a successful project with little negative effect on locals. Along with the film commission, which helped promote Imperial Beach as the film site, the city is distributing fliers notifying residents about what's going on.
"We want people to understand why we're doing this," said Kathy McCurdy, vice president of the film commission. "It's good for Imperial Beach and the port. It will be a tremendous economic benefit to everyone. We consider the cast and crew temporary residents of Imperial Beach."
Dedina and Quintanar, who once surfed Imperial Beach's famous Tijuana sloughs and skated in empty swimming pools and drainage canals around town, said they remember bikers and gang members drinking and doing drugs around the pier, which has been damaged and rebuilt several times, and watching brawls that would spill out of bars and onto the streets.
They both marvel at the changes the city has undergone over the years.
"The fact that they are shooting a film about that time in the 1970s, that they are building a set to create that, is great because it shows how much this area has been revitalized," Dedina said.

If you think your child is bullying others continued...
You can help your child by setting rules, supervising activities, and leading by example. Control your anger, and show sensitivity and respect for others. If a child bullies, do not punish him or her with physical force (corporal punishment), such as spanking. Physical punishment only strengthens the belief that people can get what they want through aggression.
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry recommends that parents of children who bully seek help from their child's teacher, principal, school counselor, pediatrician, or family doctor. These professionals can help evaluate your child's behavior and make a referral to a child and adolescent psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a licensed counselor who can work with your child.
If you think your child is being bullied
Many children are too embarrassed or are afraid to tell an adult about bullying. They may think that involving an adult will only make the problem worse. Help prepare children by teaching them socialization skills, modeling friendly behavior, and telling them that you will always be there for them. Mention that if something bothers them, they can also talk with a school counselor.
Be familiar with signs of bullying, such as frequent headaches, stomachaches, or not wanting to go to school. Also, ask your child questions, such as whom he or she eats with at lunch or plays with at recess. If you sense something is wrong, trust your instincts.
There are many ways you can help your child deal with bullying.
- Talk about the situation. Although often reluctant at first, many children who are bullied will open up if they are in the right environment. A good place to start these discussions is in the car or other place where you have little eye-to-eye contact. Listen calmly and thoughtfully. Don't promise that you won't tell anyone. Rather, admit that you may need to become involved but you will do your very best not to make problems worse.
- Practice role-playing at home. Encourage your child to react calmly and confidently to taunting. Help your child understand that responding with physical aggression or insults usually will make the problem worse. For example, have your child practice saying "Leave me alone" and then walking away.
- Teach your child behaviors that show confidence rather than shyness and vulnerability. Children can learn to look people in the eye and speak up when they talk. Assure your child that confident behavior can be learned. Help build your child's self-esteem by suggesting that he or she meet others through different activities. Having friends and interests can boost a child's confidence and make him or her less likely to be bullied.
- Encourage your child to think about the qualities that make a good friend.
- Suggest that your child join activities that are supervised by an adult. Bullying is less likely to occur near adults.

Wildfire risks for California under four climatic change scenarios were statistically modeled as functions of climate, hydrology, and topography. Wildfire risks for the GFDL and PCM global climate models and the A2 and B1 emissions scenarios were compared for 2005–2034, 2035–2064, and 2070–2099 against a modeled 1961–1990 reference period in California and neighboring states. Outcomes for the GFDL model runs, which exhibit higher temperatures than the PCM model runs, diverged sharply for different kinds of fire regimes, with increased temperatures promoting greater large fire frequency in wetter, forested areas, via the effects of warmer temperatures on fuel flammability. At the same time, reduced moisture availability due to lower precipitation and higher temperatures led to reduced fire risks in some locations where fuel flammability may be less important than the availability of fine fuels. Property damages due to wildfires were also modeled using the 2000 U.S. Census to describe the location and density of residential structures. In this analysis the largest changes in property damages under the climate change scenarios occurred in wildland/urban interfaces proximate to major metropolitan areas in coastal southern California, the Bay Area, and in the Sierra foothills northeast of Sacramento.
