BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 21 - A powerful explosion killed at least 24 people and wounded 57 others today when it ripped through the tented dining hall of a large American military base in Mosul, tearing a foot-wide hole in the hard concrete floor and spraying shrapnel into a line where American soldiers, civilian contractors and Iraqi troops were waiting to be served lunch, military officials said.
At least 19 American servicemen were among the dead, according to Maj. Earle Bluff, a military spokesman in Baghdad, making the noontime explosion the deadliest single attack on American forces in Iraq.
Pools of blood streamed out of the darkened dining hall at Forward Operating Base Marez as soldiers rushed in to evacuate the wounded from amid crumpled and melted chairs and tables, with the only light coming from a massive hole ripped in the tent roof by the force of the blast, according to one eyewitness.
The attack was the latest in a campaign by militants to terrorize and intimidate Iraqis working either for the Iraqi security services or for American forces, and to disrupt elections planned for Jan. 30, which the militants oppose.
Speaking in Washington, President Bush offered his condolences to relatives of those killed and wounded in Mosul today, but said that the sacrifices were not in vain. "This is a very important and vital mission," Mr. Bush said outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he visited with soldiers wounded in Iraq. "I'm confident democracy will prevail in Iraq. I know a free Iraq will lead to a more peaceful world. So we ask for God's blessings on all who are involved in that vital mission."
The radical Islamist group Army of Ansar al-Sunna issued a statement over the Internet taking responsibility for the Mosul attack, saying one of its fighters had carried out a "martyrdom operation" against forces it described as unbelievers and occupiers. However, a United States military spokesman in Mosul said that no corpse or human remains had been found that appeared to come from a suicide bomber.
Military officials said the blast could have been caused by a well-aimed rocket or mortar round fired by insurgents outside the base. But they also cautioned that it was far too early to narrow the possibilities and that other potential causes, including a bomb smuggled onto the base, would be considered.
They said the blast was a single explosion, and that its shrapnel had created uniform perforations in metal kitchen appliances and other objects near the serving line, as if ball bearings or similar projectiles had been part of the explosive device. "The perforations were perfectly round," Lt. Col. Paul Hastings, the chief military spokesman in Mosul, said.
In the chaos of the explosion's aftermath, there was some confusion over some aspects of the casualty toll. In addition to the military deaths, the blast killed four employees and three subcontractors of Halliburton, the large Houston oil-services company that provides cafeteria and other support services to forces in Iraq, the company said. That would bring the death toll to at least 26, though a military spokesman in Mosul said he knew of only 24 confirmed deaths.
Halliburton confirmed the loss of its workers, noting that 62 of its workers had died thus far in "Iraq-Kuwait region" while working "side by side with the military and Iraqi people."
In Washington, the chief White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, emphasized the administration's resolve to press ahead with its Iraq policy despite such attacks. "The enemies of freedom understand the stakes involved," he said. "You heard the president talk about that yesterday. They will be defeated, and a free and peaceful Iraq will emerge."
In a taped statement, the commander of American forces in northern Iraq, Brig. Gen. Carter F. Ham, said: "The killed include U.S. military personnel, U.S. contractors, foreign national contractors and Iraqi army. The wounded also come from those various groups."
"It's a sad day in Mosul," General Ham added. "But as they always do, soldiers will come back from that. And they will do what they can do best to honor those who were fallen today, and that is to see this very important mission through to a successful completion."
The focal point of the blast appeared to have been where the soldiers collected plastic folks and spoons at a stand a few feet from the long serving line, where a four-inch deep crater, about a foot wide, was blown into the thick concrete floor, said Capt. Pat Roddy.
The tiles on the floor near the serving line "were covered with so much blood you couldn't see what color the tiles were," Captain Roddy, of Fort Lewis, Wash., said in a telephone interview from Mosul. "At least 50 percent of the tables and chairs had been obliterated by shrapnel. Anybody who was sitting in there, with the magnitude of the explosion, it was large enough, it could have killed anybody."
Outside, he said, "there were half-burned boots, not attached to any soldier, and you could see blood trails coming past the concrete barriers." In the sinks outside, where soldiers washed their hands before entering the dining hall, there were "glass, parts of uniforms, watches and gloves" strewn about basins full of an inch or two of blood, he said.
The Mosul base is home to a sizable contingent of troops from Fort Lewis, in Washington State, but officials there told reporters that they had few details of the attack or how many casualties involved soldiers from the fort.
F.B.I. investigators were en route to the Mosul base tonight, and military officials were careful to not rule out any potential explanations for the blast.
"People are out there saying it was a rocket attack, but we flat out don't know that, and it could very well have not been indirect fire," said Colonel Hastings said. "It very well could have been a placed explosion."
Mosul has been the scene of frequent raids by insurgents on police stations in the past six weeks. More than 100 bodies have turned up in the city in recent weeks, as the country heads toward the elections. On Sunday, car bombers struck crowds in Najaf and Karbala, killing at least 61 people and wounding about 120 in those two holy Shiite cities. In Baghdad, about 30 insurgents hurling grenades and firing machine guns pulled three election officials from their car in the midst of morning traffic and killed them with shots to the head.
The Army of Ansar al-Sunna is regarded as a particularly brutal faction of the insurgency that has developed in strength and scope over the last several months. Among its more notable acts have been the killings, sometimes by beheading, of 11 captive Iraqi soldiers and 12 hostage truck drivers from Nepal. Ansar al-Sunna is an offshoot of Ansar al-Islam, a jihadist organization chased out of its mountain base in northern Iraq by American Special Forces and Kurdish militiamen at the start of the war in Iraq.
Today's explosion coincided with an unannounced visit to Baghdad by Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain, who vowed that the war against the insurgents would be won and the elections held on time. Britain has some 8,000 troops in Iraq, mainly in the south of the country, centered in the city of Basra.
At a news conference in the so-called Green Zone, a fortified, heavily guarded walled compound for Iraqi government officials and foreign forces, Mr. Blair used his visit, his first to Baghdad since Saddam Hussein was toppled in spring 2003, to emphasize Britain's support for the national elections, saying the country was engaged in a "battle between democracy and terror."
Insurgents have been trying to disrupt or prevent the scheduled vote and the campaigning process by an Iraqi government that they see as collaborating with occupying foreign forces. The attacks on the Iraqi police and national guard officers have complicated plans to train enough local forces that would ideally spearhead security at polling stations.
Some Iraqi leaders have called for a postponement of the elections, saying that the continuing violence has made holding them untenable, especially in the Sunni-dominated areas north and west of Baghdad. Millions of voters would have to brave the threat of attacks by guerrillas to go to polling stations.
With the elections only six weeks away and just days into the campaigning, concern has been growing over whether the Iraqi security forces will be able to perform well enough to allow voting to proceed.

Aerial Shot Of Failure Engineering Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The New York State Department of Transport commissioned a project called the Utica-Rome Expressway Project, and the contract was awarded to an external contractor, Toiga Construction Company of Herikimer. The project involved the design and construction of a major expressway between the cities of Utica and Rome (NYS Route 49), as well as four bridges spanning over the expressway. MJ engineering and Land Surveying were sub-contracted to design the footbridges over the soon to be constructed expressway. The single span 170 ft (~52m) pedestrian footbridge was between 20 and 25 ft (approximately 6m to 8m) above the ground below. The bridge consisted of a single steel tub girder, spanning between the two abutments on either side of the proposed road. The concrete deck was then to be cast in-situ once the steel tub girder was in position. The proposed concrete slab was 7.5in (~190mm) thick and 168in (~4.25m wide), with a volume in the region of 42m3 of concrete.
Figure 1 - Cross-section of bridge
On the 10th of October, the construction workers were in the process of pouring the concrete slab with an automatic screeding machine. Just prior to the failure the construction workers had passed the halfway point on the bridge with the screeding machine when the bridge twisted to such a degree that the steel tub girder failed allowing the entire span of the bridge to buckle and collapse onto the ground below. At the time of failure, ten workers were on the bridge and the concrete was still wet, as curing only took place after the pouring was complete. The failure killed one worker, and injured the nine other workers, two critically and multiple bone fractures for the seven others.
Causes of the accident
The failure of the Marcy Bridge was due to lateral torsional buckling. Buckling is the distortion along the longitudinal axis of the beam this occurs when a critical force is applied. As Leonhard Euler proved with his formula, the slenderness of a member in relation to its length reduces the force required to cause a member to fail.
Euler's formula: where 'PCR' is the critical force,
'E' is Young's modulus of the material, 'I' is the area moment of inertia of the cross-section,
and 'L' is the length.
This formula shows how the length has a major impact on the critical buckling force.
Figure 2 - Bending Moments
Lateral-torsional buckling occurs when the tensional force below the member and the compressive force above the member reach a critical load where the member moves from a state of stability to a state of instability. This movement to instability results in the forces moving from being solely vertical and are transferred into a combination of horizontal and vertical forces cause the member to buckle about its weaker axis.
However, engineers do not normally consider lateral torsional buckling. If you consider a standard beam, the minor axis plays such a negligible role there is not a possibility of failure about the minor axis. In the case of the Marcy Bridge collapse, lateral torsional buckling occurred because the steel tub girder's minor axis is located nearer the bottom of the girder which means any force applied vertically from the top will create what is known as a transverse force. The definition given by thefreedictionary.com is "Forces applied perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of a member. Transverse loading causes the member to bend and deflect from its original position, with internal tensile and compressive strains accompanying change in curvature." (The Free Dictionary)
Figure 3 - Side View of Failure
Exponent Inc., one of the companies hired by the main contractor to identify the cause of the failure, through a number of tests and investigations, established that the tub girder, which was supposed to support the deck upon it, did not have sufficient strength to carry the wet concrete without it failing through 'global lateral-torsional buckling'.
Figure 4 - Computer simulation of torsional buckling
"Design guides by US Steel (1979) and Bethlehem Steel (Heins and Hall, 1981) recommend the use of top flange lateral braces..." (Shen-en, de Leon, Dolhon, Drerup, Parfit, & ASCE, 2009)
These design guides where concerned with the lateral torsional buckling but the design recommendations were not included in the Marcy Bridge design. The guidelines were not part of any bridge design codes at that time and the guides were not specifically targeted at the pouring on concrete onto a bridge. The designers may or may not have been aware of these publications but still failed to produce a design that was safe to build.
Non technical
Considering a similar failure occurred in Sweden a few months prior to the failure and the guides available at the time it may have been advisable for one or more of the contractors, sub contractors or Department of Transport to investigate or be aware of what could happen with lateral torsional buckling. There is also the possibility that they were not aware of the failure, the guidelines, or they chose to believe that the project deadlines were more important than a full-scale review of the design. The fact that Toiga Construction had already constructed three similar bridges along the expressway without incident perhaps gave them a confidence that it would not happen on the fourth one and the designs where suitable and safe.
Identification of Responsibilities
The responsibility of the Marcy Bridge collapse lies mainly with the sub-contractor hired for the design part of the project. MJ Engineering and Land Surveying was the sub-contractor for this part of the project and were responsible for the design of the bridge. They failed to identify the need for bracings for the bridge prior to the concrete deck hardening and providing a resistant force to the twisting motion of the bridge. Tioga Construction Co. (the main contractor) was found to be liable in a lawsuit, brought against them by one of the injured workers, for both using a flawed design and poor training. It has never been disclosed whether Tioga Construction recovered this money from the designer, though his lawyer did say his client was looking for compensation from the sub-contractor/designer. The Department of Transport (NYSDOT) who oversaw the project are not blameless. It had previously been recommended that the Department of Transport stop hiring external contractors and to do the work themselves as they had the skills within their workforce to complete similar projects.
Ethical Issues
The main ethical issue is really a question, is ignorance an excuse? The NYSDOT and the main contractor should have been involved with the design and the companies should have had warning systems in place to help identify issues both on the site and with other similar constructions.
Lessons to be Learned and Recommendations
The most important lesson learned from this is to consider the global lateral torsional buckling force when doing a design. Changes in the bridge design standards and the creation of the programme UTrAp 2.0, which allows the 'Analysis of Steel Box Girders during Construction', are steps that were taken to prevent further failures. This programme has retrospectively analysed the Marcy bridge collapse and it would have identified and possibly prevented the failure of the bridge and death of the construction worker.
Other lessons learned from this disaster are to be constantly aware of failures around the world and a continuing analysis of failures can assist in preventing multiple failures of similar structures. On-site safety and a network of warning systems would help to minimise fatalities if an error occurred.

About DONNA SUMMER:
Maintaining an unbroken string of hits throughout the 70s and 80s, most of which she wrote, Donna Summer (1948-2012) holds the record for most consecutive double albums to hit #1 on the Billboard charts (three) and is the first woman to have four #1 singles in a twelve-month period, three as a solo artist and one as a duo with Barbra Streisand. A five-time Grammy Award-winner, she was the first artist to win the Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female (1979, "Hot Stuff"), as well as the first-ever recipient of the Grammy for Best Dance Recording (1997, "Carry On"). She held six American Music Awards, three consecutive #1 platinum double albums (she's the only artist, male or female, ever to accomplish this), 11 gold albums, four #1 singles, 2 platinum singles, and 12 gold singles. Donna was also the first female artist to have a #1 single and #1 album on the Billboard charts simultaneously ("MacArthur Park" and Live & More, 1978), a feat she also repeated six months later ("Hot Stuff" and Bad Girls, 1979). She has charted 21 #1 hits on the Billboard Disco/Dance charts over a period of 25 years, a milestone solidifying her as THE Queen of Dance. In 2004, she became one of the first inductees, as both an Artist Inductee and a Record Inductee (for 1977′s "I Feel Love") into the Dance Music Hall of Fame in New York City. In 2013, Donna Summer was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It is estimated that Ms. Summer has sold more than 130 million records worldwide.

Let's go back to January 27, 1985. Why this date you may ask? It could be any date. Nothing special may have happened in your life, and nothing did in my life...at the time. Then, about 15 years ago, I found a tape. A tape with one of the greatest 3 minutes ever captured on film. For you see, either my Mom or Dad accidentally recorded channel 3 for a few minutes. For those of you outside the Salem, Oregon area (which means pretty much all of you), Channel 3 was KVDO, a PBS affiliate in Salem. Apparently, OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting, for PBS or something.) took ours away. The cable company, Viacom Cablevision, replaced it with something that looks like this:
Now, this may seem boring to you, but it's a little slice of history for my life. I bet most cable companies had a channel like this. I've seen one in Lincoln City. But, now Public Access either means crappy shows made with a camcorder or 24 hours of infomercials. But, I'd rather see this:
I wonder if Don Wilkerson ever saw this. I wonder if he's still alive. If you happen to be Sue, Mike, or Connie, e-mail me at [email protected] please.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah. Channel 3. They tried to make it be for everyone.
Heloise, are you listening? It's a good thing that the VCR was on channel 3, because if it wasn't, I might have never seen this:
Of course I had just turned 3 at the time, but now I wonder if any of those 78rpm records are valuable. And the phone numbers bring me back. Now you have to dial 503 before any 7 digit code because they added a 971 area code to the same area code even though, like 5 phone numbers use it.
And this is a little landmark of Salem history:
Now, there's over 100,000 people living in Salem, and an additional 20,000 in Keizer. If this same incident happened today, Channel 3 is now the WB (and soon to be CW), and Mom and Dad might have gotten three minutes of a Jerry Springer epsiode, and what parent would want their 3 year old watching Jerry Springer.
I have a whole bunch of old tapes. I call it "The Vault." There's at least 50. Meg Ryan on "As The World Turns," Johnny Carson's 21 and 25th anniversary, the Smothers Brothers 20th anniversary and a few episodes of the revival show that summer in 1988. The opening ceremony of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, up-to-the-minute news on the Challenger explosion, But, the one that will always stand out in my life was the tape that was recorded 3 minutes worth of channel 3 that fateful day in 1985. And it's a good thing I got it on DVD because the tape broke. I must go and make some more copies of this DVD.

If You Love Your Mother, You Should Support Hilary Rosen
Last night, Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen went on TV and said that Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, who is a stay-at-home mother, had "never worked a day in her life."
And just like that, we've all been sucked back into the same discussion about motherhood we've been having since feminists started encouraging women to work outside the home. Politicians from both parties have denounced Rosen's comments and affirmed their own gratitude and awe of stay-at-home mothers nationwide. Today, First Lady Michelle Obama came out in support of mothers, which is absurd news to report in the first place; the notion that anyone would openly denounce mothers at large was, until last night, a ridiculous one.
Plenty of people across the country are outraged, and plenty of voices in the media are assuaging that anger with the same old platitudes we've heard a hundred times before: Moms are important. Being a mom is a full-time job. Being a mom is hard.
Non-working moms deserve just as much respect as their employed

husbands or partners. It's like Mother's Day came early this year.
Ordinarily, that would be a good thing. But in this case, it's totally missing the point.
Listen to Rosen's statement -- not just the "never worked a
day in her life" part, but the whole thing -- and you'll realize she's
not just talking about hard work. Rosen is a mother herself; she surely
knows exactly how much time and energy it takes to do the job. She's
talking about work that supports a family monetarily. Rosen was speaking
in response to a question from Anderson Cooper about Mitt Romney's
understanding of women's economic issues, and what she said was this:
Ultimately, women care more about the economic well-being of their family and the like, but [Mitt Romney] doesn't connect on that issue either. What you have is Mitt Romney running around the country saying, "Well, y'know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues," and, "When I listen to my wife, that's what i'm hearing." Guess what -- his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing, in terms of, how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school.
sum it up: Ann Romney's upper-class lifestyle -- not her status as a
stay-at-home mother -- has put her out of touch with the problems that
face most American women.
Where have we heard that argument
before? From just about every left-leaning political pundit in the
country who's spoken about Mitt Romney. The man can't seem to shut up
about his homes and cars and high-stakes bets -- and Democrats have
nailed him on it again and again.
Of course, just because a person has
lots of money doesn't mean they can't successfully run a country, or
offer good economic advice. But plenty of people have claimed that exact
thing about Mitt in the past, without facing widespread condemnation. Why
protect Ann Romney from that same judgment?
Oh, right, because
it's far more interesting -- and politically advantageous
-- to take Rosen's comments out of context and whip everyone up into
another chorus of "Moms Are the Best."
Don't get me wrong: Moms are the
best. I think I'll call mine right after I publish this post, and so
should you. But after we hang up, let's not let ourselves get distracted
with all this politically correct pandering to parenthood. Nobody's saying moms don't work. And anyone who
truly respects mothers -- and all other women, for that matter -- should
do us all the favor of focusing on the political issues that affect women, rather than one poorly worded argument on their behalf.

This is critical in any type of non-workers compensation work place injury lawsuit. If you can point to a specific OSHA or ANSI requirement and show how a company or corporation broke that rule your case is that much stronger.
I recently relied on various OSHA standards to strengthen my client's case. The OSHA regs related to a company's obligation to provide and enforce the wearing of hard hats in a case in which my client was struck on the head by a piece of metal tubing. When I pointed out to defense counsel that we intended to rely on specific OSHA regulations that governed his client's work place practices we quickly reached an amicable settlement. One reason for this is that juries, like all of us, like simple rules- forget legal mumbo jumbo. Defense attorneys love to complicate rules and laws to jurors to make it difficult for them to determine whether the defendant should really be held responsible for a plaintiff's injuries. But when there are clear rules like OSHA and ANSI, the jury knows exactly what to do and is more likely to find in favor of the injured worker. Share this post :

There was much to be cautious about in the season opener. The last time we saw the Sun Devils play football, Colt Brennan and the Warriors of Hawaii humiliated the Sun Devils on national TV. Both offense and defense were sluggish in pre-season scrimmages and practices. We weren't sure which Rudy Carpenter was going to show up: the sleek 2005 version or the inconsistent 2006 version. And the opposition was San Jose State, a pretty good football team coming off a 9-win season and a bowl berth in 2006.
The pundits were out in full force stating that the Spartans could upset the Sun Devils. Under Dirk Koetter, and perhaps a few seasons under Bruce Snyder, the Sun Devils seemed to play to the level of their competition (NAU last season being a good example). Were the Sun Devils ripe for an upset, despite being 15-point favorites?
Upset? It was not going to happen on a sweltering September evening at Sun Devil Stadium. The Sun Devils played inspired football on both sides of the football en route to a 45-3 victory of SJSU. Even the most optimistic of Sun Devil fans couldn't have predicted the ease with which ASU dominated this contest. But that's the way you take care of weaker non-conference opponents: give them their paycheck, kick some dirt in their face, and send them home with a crushing loss. That's what real football programs do. That's the way Erickson rolls. Finally, after a six-year absence, the Sun Devils have a real head coach again.
There was plenty of reason to be excited after the home-opening victory. Tailback Ryan Torain looked like a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate and one of the nation's best running backs. Rudy Carpenter looked sharp and poised in the pocket. Linebacker Robert James was a demon on the field, making tackles from sideline to sideline. Freshman receiver Kerry Taylor looks like the real deal and suddenly the ASU receivers are starting to impress.
But most important was the enthusiasm the team displayed. Erickon's Sun Devils are lively and spirited, and that's going to play large once the contests start getting tougher and the stakes higher. Hopefully, flat uninspired football is a thing of the past.
Oh yea, I'm starting to like this Erickson guy. The recruiting is on the upswing, the Sun Devils are smashing weaker opponents, and the team is displaying a little swagger.
Colorado visits Tempe next. The Buffaloes figure to be a tougher opponent than San Jose State. But I'm looking for another fired-up team to come out of the tunnel and give fans another reason to cheer on Saturday nights.
We've started a new chapter in Sun Devil football. But this time, we have a Pulitzer-prize winning coach with the pen.

It seems appropriate to write this article because Whitehill Methodist Community Church is celebrating its centenary this year.
In the 1800's there were no chapels/churches at Whitehill but stories tell that there were 2 houses where worship took place. However, there was a tin tabernacle at some time which was transported from Alsager. Someone is researching the history and the outcome will be reported later.
The first chapel to be built was Whitehill Weslyan which was situated on the right hand side of Whitehill Road going towards Newchapel close to Mount Road roundabout. This was built around 1860 and closed in 1971. It was also known as Bottom Chapel. There was a Sunday School in the morning and afternoon and a service in the evening. In June the annual Charity Sunday event took place where Sunday School children walked around Whitehill and Rookery in their new outfits and the choir would also walk and sing hymns. In the afternoon and evening services were held and a stage was erected upon which the children in the best clothes stood and sang and the choir also performed. A collection was held to pay for the upkeep of the chapel.
Every year the children were given a treat, either a trip to New Brighton or games and goodies in a field belonging to a local farmer, Mr Cotterill. Occasionally children's socials were held where games were played and spinning the plate was a favourite one where a youngster would get to kiss someone of the opposite sex if they were lucky enough to catch the plate before it came to rest. Pantomimes were held which were thoroughly enjoyed by the community. There was a lot of talent at Whitehill to make this happen, from dressmakers, singers, musicians and comics. Another important event was the conversation from gas lighting to electric in the late 1940's which was celebrated in style.
The second to be built was Balls Bank Methodist Church (now known as Whitehill Methodist Community Church). It was always referred to as Top Chapel. When Bottom Chapel was closed the congregation moved to Top Chapel. In the late 1940's there were ducket toilets which consisted of a large and a small wooden hole and some children always worried that they might fall into the container underneath. Through extensive fund raising a community hall was added. This year the church celebrates its centenary. Over the past year the kitchen and toilets have been refurbished and the Footsteps Project completed which gives more space for activities. Many people have worked hard to make this possible and it will be opened on 17 March followed by a service of dedication on 18 March at 3 pm. This Church is now the hub of the community where many activities take place.
Many children who attended both the Churches found their true loves and eventually married and still live at Whitehill.

I'm getting ready to purchase a new X-Bolt SS and have narrowed the field to the 300 Win Mag & the 30-06. The rifle will be primarily used for white tailed deer with the possibility of occasional larger game as well. I've gone back and forth between these two models several times but haven't come to a decision - which is why I'm here on biggamehunt! I know that either of these are more than capable of meeting my needs, but I want to hear what you guys think. Outside of the obvious caliber difference, why should I choose the 300 over the 06? One concern with the 300 is the 26" barrel. It would probably be a non-issue, but that's 4 inches longer than what I currently shoot.
I look forward to hearing what you all have to say.

The Russell Corner Historic District of Princeton, Massachusetts encompasses a small 19th century commercial center that developed into a summer resort area by the early 20th century. Centered at the intersection of Merriam Road and Gregory Hill Road, the district includes fifteen contributing buildings on 124 acres (50 ha), which are predominantly residential in nature, and were mostly built before 1830. Some of the properties are found on East Princeton and Sterling Roads, and Bullock Lane.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
Both Merriam Road and Gregory Hill Road have been major transportation routes through Princeton; Merriam Road in particular was laid out in part along a Native American path in the mid-17th century. The oldest building in the district is the c. 1748 house of Abijah Wood at 16 Merriam Road, a Georgian house with a late-19th-century wraparound porch. The second house was built c. 1760, probably by Peter Goodnow; portions of this house survive in the building at 49 Gregory Hill Road. John Russell moved to the area in 1787, and soon afterward opened a tavern and inn. His son Charles was an energetic farmer and shopowner who was also active in the town and church; it is for him the area is named. In part through the economic activity of the Russells, a small cluster of houses and businesses arose.[2]
The village came to include a schoolhouse in 1810 (now at 43 Gregory Hill Road), and by 1830 eight buildings stood near the intersection, all but one of which still stand. The village was largely bypassed by the resort hotel developments that grew in other parts of Princeton, but smaller scale development of summer residences, including conversion of some of the older buildings, took place in Russell's Corner.[2]

Hi, I would like to merge my ipad calendar and contacts with my iphone. Itunes proposed it when i set up my iphone with itunes. I refused it thinking it could do it later but I do not find out how do it. How could I do it? Do I need to reset itunes or my iphone? Thanks for support.
Use the cloud! I use GMail for my mails, contacts and calendar stuff. Simply connect your iPhone to gmail, and your iPad too. No need to synch as any modification will show up instantly on all your devices. VicoPad addict!
If you are syncing on your computer (not through MobileMe or GMail) then all you have to do is make a change in you sync settings on iTunes. With your device connected to the computer, go into iTunes and select the iPad from the Devices list on the left. Select the Info tab at the top. Turn on your calendar syncing. That should merger the calendars. No guarantees on how well it does this. If you want to overwrite the calendar with what you've already god then go to the bottom of the screen under Advanced and select the replace content on device (or something like that.)
Ok, thanks I understand what you mean. In fact, I am using iPad calendar as 1st calendar. It is not on my computer.
How are you syncing your iPhone, if at all? If you are syncing neither of them to the computer then getting a Google Mail account, like DrHouse suggested, would be the easiest way to keep them in sync. Just go to Google and create a Mail account. Visit the Calendar site and set up any calendars you want. Then go to your iPad and iPhone under Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars and add the accounts. Let the calendars merge if that is an option, but DO NOT let it overwrite the iPad. You add the account one of two ways. Real easy, just add a standard GMail account. Limited to Mail and Calendar syncing with one Google Calendar. Harder, but more options. Add the account as an Exchange account. You get Mail, Calendars, and Contact syncing. You can also add extra calendars vie Google and keep them synced. Use this setup: Set Up Your Apple Device for Google Sync : Google Sync (ActiveSync) - Google Mobile Help Be sure to follow the link at the bottom of the instructions on how to sync extra calendars if you've set up more than one in Google.
Please let us know how it works for you, or doesn't. I'd hate to keep giving advice if it isn't working.

Israel expects the US to begin diplomatic moves to put pressure on Syria to curb Hizbollah and set the stage for a ceasefire. There are doubts in Jerusalem, however, that President Hafez al-Assad of Syria will be willing to do this.
Despite Israel's overwhelming military superiority Hizbollah is still firing salvoes of rockets into northern Galilee, where they cause few casualties but have led much of the population to flee or live in shelters. Three Israelis were injured yesterday and five were treated for shock.
Shimon Peres, the Prime Minister, has promised to stop the firing of Katyushas but this may not be feasible by use of air and artillery alone. "This has to be decided on the ground," says Dr Dore Gold at the Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv university. "It cannot be decided by air power and videotapes [taken by attacking aircraft]."
The key to resolution of the crisis is Syria, says Dr Gold. Israel denounces Iran as the hidden hand which controls Hizbollah, but this is largely because it has not wanted to demonise Syria with whom it has been negotiating a peace treaty in return for Israel relinquishing the Golan Heights. President Assad may not want to restrain Hizbollah until there is a final deal with Israel.
Major General Moshe Ya'alon, the head of military intelligence, says that if Hizbollah`s ability to fire rockets is diminished then it will strike at Israel with suicide bombers or hang gliders. He added that Iranian embassy staff in Beirut had left for Damascus. The Israeli press says senior officials in Israel have received signals from Damascus that it wants to see a new arrangement in south Lebanon. If no agreement is reached with Syria then there will be pressure on Mr Peres to use ground troops, something he says he is determined not to do. It was he who withdrew Israeli troops in 1985 from all but the far south of the country.
The firepower available to the two sides is very unbalanced. A spokesman for the UN peace-keeping force said Israeli gunners pumped 3,000 heavy artillery shells into the south in a 24-hour period up to yesterday morning. Israel also launched 63 air raids. Hizbollah kept up a steady barrage of rockets over the frontier, wounding three Israelis. Of the 28 people killed on both sides in the last week only one has been an Israeli, a soldier killed in south Lebanon last week.
In Jerusalem Mr Peres said he was not ready to negotiate an end to Operation Grapes of Wrath. "It is too early to negotiate," he said when asked what were Israel's conditions for an end to the fighting. "The time is always right for a political initiative," Mr Peres added. "I am not going to offer but I think that there are other parties that will offer and we shall have a good look at it."
The conflict has so far much improved the chances of Mr Peres winning the election on 29 May. He regularly appears in a blue, military style- jacket. It is now difficult for Binyamin Netanyahu, the leader of the right-wing Likud, to outflank him on the right for being soft on security. The war has also been accompanied by a sophisticated Israeli army presentation to the media, with video pictures of exploding buildings hit by Israeli missiles.
The Israeli public relations exercise much resembles that of the US in the Gulf war in 1990. The Israeli press notes that the European media has been much more critical than the US. There was only limited domestic television coverage of the destruction of an ambulance, in which four children were killed, by an Israeli helicopter. However, the real reason for the lack of criticism of the operation in Israel is that it is felt to be defensive, has led to no Israeli military casualties and is against an enemy, Hizbollah, which is seen as part of the Islamic militant movement which killed 63 people in Israel with four suicide bombs six weeks ago.
Civilians the main casualties in toll of death
Since Israel opened its bombardment of Lebanon last Thursday, 23 Lebanese civilians have been killed and at least 80 wounded. In the previous three days, a Lebanese teenager and an Israeli occupation soldier were killed and 13 Israelis wounded. Since the start of the Israeli assault, not a single Israeli soldier or Hizbollah guerrilla has been reported killed.
Among the Lebanese civilian victims are: Khatija Deeb, 27, an unidentified male of about 60; Rima al-Youssef, 2; Rana al-Youssef, 12; Lara al- Youssef, age unknown; Ibtissam al-Youssef, 13; Ghofran Karim, 25; Ali Monem, about 100; Hussein Monem, 18; Wajeb Monem, age unknown; and Absha Shaashou, 35 - all killed by Israeli shellfire on the village of Yohmor, in the southern Bekaa valley. And Mahmoud Daher, 90; Mariam Geha, one month; Honein Geha, 3; Zienab Geha, 7; Houdou Alakleh, 11; Noha Alakleh, 35; and Mona Shweik, 35 - all killed in an ambulance attacked by Israeli helicopter at Hannieh, southern Lebanon.

Kai Ryssdal: And this may have been the day to take a deep economic breath. Wall Street broke its losing streak. There were some glimmers of good news in an otherwise gloomy week. Maybe even some hope for the job market and beleaguered consumers.
Starting us off with a couple of reasons to lift our chins, here's Marketplace's Jeff Horwich.
Jeff Horwich: First, let's just revel a moment in the fact the economy did not implode. Government bills are getting paid, looks like we get to keep our top-notch credit rating for now. Our political system is not completely dysfunctional -- c'mon, that's great!
On top of that, check out Mastercard -- profits up 33 percent. That doesn't happen unless consumers are spending.
Eric Bleeker: There's a lot of reasons to be really excited.
Look at Eric Bleeker, watching earnings season at investing website The Motley Fool: He's not sad.
Bleeker: Right now about 75 percent of companies have reported, and we're on pace to have record earnings. You know, that beats 2007, when the earnings were all phony banking profits.
Bleeker says America's tech companies, especially, are kicking butt. The auto industry is also feeling wind in its hair: July sales beat expectations. Speaking of beating expectations, payroll company ADP says we added more jobs last month than economists saw coming. Take that, doom and gloom.
I'm Jeff Horwich for Marketplace.
Ryssdal: Yeah, but it's not all good news. In fact, there were some troubling signs today on layoffs and economic growth. With that, here's Marketplace's Jeff Horwich.
Horwich: Yeah, I'm back. Because, you know what? We just can't let you be happy. Take that ADP jobs report: "better than expected" does not make it "good." Job growth slowed down. Another report says companies actually announced the most layoffs in 16 months.
How about consumers, using those Mastercards? Well here's Doug Roberts of Channel Capital Research.
Doug Roberts: Since people are starting to have financial problems, they're using credit cards more, but really just as a way to basically pay off bills.
And about that soaring tech sector: Roberts says it's soaring partly at the expense of jobs.
Roberts: Companies are looking for tech-based solutions to reduce costs and increase productivity.
And profits for Detroit? Not sure I even want to hear this.
Roberts: The auto industry has been able to basically for the first time renegotiate, or get some leeway, from a lot of the unions.
Even our debt ceiling stability feels less satisfying when you consider the cost of getting there. An estimate out today says the economic activity put on hold the last two weeks could set back growth as much as disruptions from the Japanese tsunami.
I'm Jeff Horwich -- again -- for Marketplace.

"Nothing wrong with it"

Friday evening found Larry and me in Brunswick. We made a quick trip to the doctor to see what condition Larry's condition was in and then the car automatically headed to Belk's. However, I got sidetracked and turned into Ross' instead. Inside I found several items I wanted to try on. As I went into the dressing room, a pretty young lady about 13 or 14 went into the room right beside me. Her arms were more heavily laden than mine. After trying on all my pants and shirts, I decided I didn't like anything and headed for the door. As I handed the 5 items and the ticket with the big 5 on it to the dressing room monitor, the young lady stepped out and said politely to the monitor, "Can I go show my mama this outfit? She wanted to see it before I buy it."
Smart mama, I thought as the monitor nodded her head. I wish more parents would pay attention to what their daughters (and sons, too, for that matter) are wearing.
The girl was beautiful, slender with black eyes and black hair. She would be beautiful in anything, but I almost gasped at the outfit she was modeling. The tight knit skirt stopped about ten inches above her knee. In my opinion, she needed at least one size larger, maybe two.
At least the top is relatively modest, I thought. No deep cleavage is showing.
Then she walked by and I saw the back, which consisted of narrow strips of fabric running from one side to another. It looked as if a tiger had shredded it. The back was open, period. Nothing was left to the imagination. Pretty young skin shone through the holes in the shirt.
"Mama," she said, whirling in the classic modeling stance, "what do you think?"
"Girl, what you gonna do when they send you home from school in that?" Mama answered. "I ain't coming to get you. You'll have to wear a tank top under it. They ain't gonna let you have all that skin showing."
What about the skirt? I kept thinking. Don't you see the skirt, Mama? It's practically up to her butt!
"I guess it's all right," Mama replied, eying her daughter from top to toe. "You can get it if you want to. I don't see nothing wrong with it."
And the light bulb came on, nearly blinding me. That's what wrong with society—parents, not teenagers.
"I don't see nothing wrong with it," the mama said.
And all the time I'm thinking, What? She doesn't see anything wrong with it? What's wrong with her eyes?
It is the responsibility of the parents to bring up their children in the way they should go. Parents are failing miserably when they see nothing wrong with that kind of clothing.
Now that I think about it, why are our clothing store shelves stocked with such clothes anyway? What designer thinks it appropriate for America's teenager? Actually, designers don't care about appropriate; they care about money. The teens like the clothes; parents have to be the clothes police or else their pretty young daughters will roam about half naked—make that three/fourths naked.
A friend of mine who works in a clothing store said that she and her coworkers hate to see warm weather come because too many people dress inappropriately. They waltz in with too much of their anatomy exposed, actually embarrassing the clerks. How can you smile and make change when your customer's cleavage is visible practically to her navel. How can you help a man find a pair of shoes when you're worried that his pants might fall the rest of the way down?
I fear that our styles say a great deal about our morally bankrupt society. I keep telling myself that there's a place for all these styles, and sure enough, I found it the other day. If you are attending the academy awards, it's perfectly appropriate (I reluctantly suppose) to wear a backless gown slit up to the top of your thigh and down to the navel. It is not, however, appropriate for teenagers to wear these styles to school. And may God help the teen whose mother doesn't realize that.

BRIEF-China Zhengtong Auto Services says unit applied for public issuance of corporate bonds
March 22 China Zhengtong Auto Services Holdings Ltd:
OSLO China is the big exception to a clear global shift away from the use of high-polluting coal in new power plants toward natural gas and renewable energies, a leading environmentalist said on Friday.
China has overtaken the United States as the top emitter of greenhouse gases in recent years, partly as it opens ever more coal-fired power plants to underpin fast economic growth. Coal emits large amounts of carbon dioxide when burned.
"Excluding China, the global power plant market has been phasing out coal since the late 1990s," said Sven Teske, renewable energy director for Greenpeace and a member of the U.N. panel of climate scientists.
"The growth is in gas power plants and renewables, especially wind," he said of a study he made of electricity generation plants opened since 1970. He said it showed an unexpectedly strong shift from coal in most regions.
From 2000-2008, 20 percent of new power plant capacity added worldwide was renewable energies and 50 percent gas and oil. Coal accounted for 28 percent, dominated by China, with nuclear on two percent, he said.
Excluding China, coal's share of new power plants in the period was just 11 percent while gas and oil had 63 percent, renewables 23 percent and nuclear 3 percent. Greenpeace favors an energy "revolution" toward renewable energies.
The U.N. panel is meeting in Abu Dhabi to edit a report about renewable energies, such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal power. A draft predicts sharp growth in coming years and declining costs, aided by technological breakthroughs.
Teske declined to comment on the draft.
His study showed that developed nations had electrified their economies from 1970-90 with coal, gas and hydro-power and that gas-fired power plants started to get the upper hand in the 1990s.
He said there were hopes that emerging economies such as India might not follow China's lead by turning to coal. China is also adding renewable energies, but more slowly than coal.
"Wind and especially solar could take off in India," he said. Small solar projects make it easier to get electricity to rural areas, compared to big coal-fired power plants that require costly power lines to reach villages.
He said that some governments wrongly portrayed future energy choices as between coal or nuclear power.
"We have two different realities. One is the reality of policy-makers who talk of coal or nuclear. The other reality is that the majority of countries except China are going toward gas and renewables," he said.

The Perfect LBD
Comments about Calvin Klein Animal Flocked Scuba Dress:
Got this to wear to a cocktail party. I paired it with a Alex Evenings tailored black satin shrug and the combo looked perfect. The subtle leopard print is actually flocked on, giving the dress a 3-D effect. As with all Calvin Klein dresses, this one is well made, true to size and very affordable. I love Calvin Klein dresses because they are versatile and can be dressed up for cocktail/black tie or can be dressed down for a luncheon or business meeting. You definitely get your moneys worth with CK.

There are three main types of electricity meters in use
To identify the type of meter you have, look at the descriptions below. To find out how to read your meter, select the relevant option.
This meter is the most common type of meter in domestic dwellings. It has a revolving disc and one row of numbers. There are two different types – 24 Hr Revolving Disc Meter and Time of Day Meter.
Business customers may have a Wattless Meter installed. The Wattless meter is distinguished from Standard Meters or Day & Night Meters by the letters kVArh located near its register and is read in the same way.
For most commercial and some industrial premises, Non Quarter Hourly (NQH) metering is used. Many of these meters have electronic registers with one electronic meter display capable of scrolling through multiple register readings. Larger customers may also have additional current transformers. Electronic meters are also installed in some domestic premises.
Your electricity supplier may arrange for a Pay as You Go meter to be installed at your premises. Each Pay as You Go meter has two elements, a customer keypad and an ESB Networks main meter.
It is important to note that even if you have a Pay as You Go meter, a meter reader will still call to read the main meter.
Safety Tip: Please be careful when reading your meter, especially if it is up high or in an inaccessible place.

Fleur Adcock writes about men and women, childhood, identity, roots and rootlessness, memory and loss, animals and dreams, as well as our interactions with nature and place. Her poised, ironic poems are remarkable for their wry wit, conversational tone and psychological insight, unmasking the deceptions of love or unravelling family lives.
