Reviews of this property
Allan was a lovely host and responded to any queries prior to the stay very quickly. We had no reason to contact him during the stay - the flat was great for the few days that we stayed there. Conveniently located in the middle of Old Town, we were a little worried about noise as we were situated above a pub on a busy street but the windows have secondary glazing in the bedrooms and no noise could be heard from the pub downstairs or the streets despite it being a busy bank holiday weekend. Everything you would need was provided, including wifi, hair dryer, ironing board & iron, towels and milk for that well needed cup of tea after travelling to get there. A little welcome bag of Scottish treats was a lovely touch. The bathroom seemed a little tired and there was no lock on the door but it was fine. All in all, definitely recommended if you're looking for somewhere to stay in Old Town, Edinburgh!
O flat é muito bem localizado, limpo e organizado. Nele há tudo o que se precisa para facilitar a estadia.Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Allan, inclusive com um gostoso brinde de recepção. Recomendamos a todos os que pretendem visitar Edinburgh.
Ein entspannter Aufenthalt. Alles hat sehr gut gepasst. Die Wohnung warr gut. Alles war sauber und ok.
Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Money, time and tools
Gorgeous and tough, granite makes a great countertop material. Unfortunately, greatness has its price: Granite slab countertops start at about $100 per sq. ft. But you can have granite countertops for half that cost (or even less) by using granite tile instead of professionally installed granite slabs. Budget-conscious builders and homeowners have done this for decades—and now there are granite tiles designed especially for countertops.
This article will show you how to install these special tiles. Since a countertop sits just a couple of feet below eye level, minor mistakes are easy to see. So we'll show you how to set your tiles flat, even and perfectly aligned.
The materials bill for our countertop and backsplash was less than $50 per sq. ft., including everything from screws and backer board to the tiles themselves. The number of inside and outside corners has a big impact on the total cost: Corners cost us about $40 each. Standard bullnose tiles cost $20 and field tiles just $10 each.
This is a two-weekend project for a typical kitchen. You'll spend about half that time tearing out your old countertop and creating a solid base for the tile. A countertop requires a bit more skill and precision than a wall or floor, so we don't recommend this as a first-time tile project. In addition to standard tile tools, you'll need to rent a tile saw for a day. You can't cut the tiles with a manual cutter. Aside from the tile, all the tools and materials you'll need are at home centers. Tiles are available at tile stores or online (search for "modular granite tile countertop.")
Granite Tile Made Just for Countertops
The tile we used has a thick, rounded "bullnose." That gives the front edge of the countertop a more elegant look than standard tile can and eliminates the slow, fussy task of cutting and installing thin strips of tile to cover the edge. There are outside corners, premitered inside corners and standard bullnose tiles. Special backsplash pieces are available too. The field tiles are just like standard granite floor tiles.
Order the tile
A few weeks before you tear off your old countertops, pull out a pencil and pad and calculate the number and types of tiles needed. Measure, then sketch your countertop on graph paper, including the sink. Label the tiles (bullnose, field, corners) to assess what's needed where.
When you arrive at a final count, you're almost ready to place your order. Because the tiles are color-matched before shipping, order a few extra to allow for cutting mistakes. Three extra field tiles and two extra bullnose tiles is a safe allowance for a simple job, but for a complex project, you might want extra insurance.
Build a solid base
According to the manufacturer of our tiles, they can be installed directly onto an existing laminate countertop if the laminate is attached to a 3/4-in.-thick plywood substrate. Since the vast majority of countertops have a particleboard core, chances are you'll have to tear out your countertop and start from scratch. For construction details, see Figure A. Seal the backer board with a waterproofing membrane (Photo 1) for extra insurance. This coating prevents moisture from passing through the backer board and causing the plywood to swell or delaminate.
Make a dry run first
Once the base is in place, you're set to start laying tile. But first do a dry run. Dry-fitting gives you time to experiment with the arrangement of the tiles so that the natural color and grain variations flow from one tile to the next. A dry run also lets you cut the tiles all at once and minimizes the total rental fee for the tile saw.
The manufacturer recommends setting tiles tightly together and filling the shallow V-shaped bevels between them with grout. But we left 1/8-in. gaps between tiles using tile spacers. That gave us a little room for error in cutting and placing tiles and allowed the tiles to conform to our L-shaped countertop, which wasn't perfectly square.
Start the dry run from an inside corner and work outward so that the two mitered inside corner tiles fit together perfectly. Continue working out from the corner, laying a few bullnose tiles and filling in the back with field tiles.
Cutting bullnose tiles with a wet saw isn't any more difficult than cutting regular tiles, except that you'll need to stack a few plywood scraps under the tile so that you can cut the bullnose edge first (Photo 2). To avoid chipping or cracking the tile, guide it slowly and steadily past the blade. It's OK if a wall-facing cut is a little rough, but for visible cuts, smooth the sawn edge and create a slight bevel along the top edge with a honing stone (Photo 3).
After laying out all the tiles, label them and make a simple layout map (Photo 4) so you can set each tile right where it belongs later. Finally, remove the middle tiles and use the remaining end and corner pieces to draw guidelines (Photo 5).
Set the tiles
It's time to mix the thin-set. To prevent the tiles from sinking, aim for a peanut-butter-thick mix. When combed out with a 3/8-in. notched trowel, the thin-set should hold sharp ridges without slumping.
Lay the tiles from the inside corner out (Photo 6), just as you did during the dry run. Instead of fussing over each tile, lay two or three tiles at once, then treat them as a unit. Once you've positioned the tiles, use a straightedge to make sure they're set flat (Photo 7). At the beginning, you'll need to place a dry-laid tester tile on top of a 1/8-in.-thick spacer (such as a layer or two of cardboard). As you proceed, rest the level on the first tiles you've laid to help gauge the rest. After checking the height, nudge the straightedge against the bullnose edges to be sure the front edge stays straight and lines up with your guideline.
Be careful when adjusting tiles. Granite is tough stuff, but it's surprisingly easy to crack. To slide freshly set tiles, use your utility knife. Stab the point of the blade into the backer board, then lever the side of the blade against the bottom edge of the tile. If a tile sinks lower than its neighbors, lift it straight up with a suction cup (see below), scrape off the old thin-set, trowel on a fresh layer, then reset. Trying to tap down a high tile almost always causes a crack. Instead, try gently pressing and wiggling so the excess thin-set can squeeze out an open end. If that doesn't work, lift the tile and scrape away the excess thin-set. Clean out any thin-set that oozes out between the tiles as you go, before it has a chance to harden (Photo 8).
Thin-set sets quickly, but to be safe, give the counter a few hours (preferably overnight) to harden before starting the backsplash (Photo 10). Make sure your new backsplash isn't higher than your outlets before mixing any mortar. To prevent sliders, give your freshly tiled backsplash a day to cure before removing the spacers and packing the grout.
A Tilesetter's Lifesaver
A suction cup tool is typically used for handling glass. But it's also great for tricky tile situations. On this project, you set the front tiles first and then insert field tiles between them and the wall. The suction cup lets you set these tiles perfectly. Without it, you'd have to drop the tiles into place, risking chipped edges.
Better yet, a suction cup saves the day when you notice a sunken tile that's already surrounded by other tiles. The ability to lift a tile straight up saves you the hassle of removing and resetting several neighboring tiles just to get at one sinker.
Grout, seal and caulk
Once the granite's in place, this job is like any other tiling project. Use a float to pack grout into most of the lines, but you'll probably need to use your finger to work grout into the curves, such as the bullnose front edge and the backsplash cap. Sponge off the excess when the grout begins to harden. Wait until the grout is fully dry before buffing off the remaining haze with a clean cotton towel. You can now reinstall the sink, stove and other appliances.
Some foods and cleaners can stain or even etch granite and grout, so apply a stone sealer (Photo 11). Finally, lay a thin bead of caulk along the joint where the counter meets the backsplash.

LONG BEACH — Officials announced Monday that a $1.6 million project to overhaul Wardlow Road between Long Beach Boulevard and Cherry Avenue is complete.
Work included resurfacing the pavement; replacing damaged curbs and gutters, driveways, sidewalks; reconstructing areas of deteriorated pavement; installing pavement markers, bus pads, markings, traffic striping, signing and curb paint; and trimming trees and shaving roots.
"Rehabilitating Wardlow Road from Cherry Avenue to the 405 (Long Beach) Freeway brings even more pride to California Heights and Bixby Knolls," Councilman James Johnson said in a statement.
"This improved road and dozens of new trees will provide a welcoming entrance to our community and benefit our residents and businesses."
An estimated 12,960 tires were recycled into rubberized asphalt for the roadwork, officials said, while used asphalt was recycled into new asphalt.
Construction began in May and was financed primarily with Proposition C funds.

It's here folks, Springtomize 2 for iOS 5 has been officially released!
Springtomize is an intensive application with almost endless capabilities. It lets you customize many if not almost all features of Springboard. You can use several combinations of customization in what seems like endless possibilities. There are so many options, that you might seem overwhelmed. Springtomize 2 is a jailbreak tweak by Filippo Bigarella and you will not be disappointed by its power.
If you remember the original Springtomize, you know by now that it no longer works on iOS 5 and that it was made to customize iOS 4. The original Springtomize had a price tag of $1.99 and it did the same things that Springtomize 2 could. The only difference? Springtomize 2 has more features and is compatible with iOS 5. Since there are so many settings with Springtomize, we're going to break it up into groups for you. First off, when you open Springtomize 2 for the first time, you will see a cool animation that shows the Springtomize logo move into the settings application. You will then be accompanied by a message asking you to go into Settings to configure it. Not only can you use the Settings application to configure Springtomize, but you will also notice a Springtomize icon added to your SpringBoard home screen; this is a shortcut to your Springtomize settings. Once you open the Springtomize settings in the Settings app, you will notice a list of settings as shown below:
In the animations settings of Springtomize, you can set your own changes to SpringBoard's animations. This includes application GUI's, folder opening and closing, SpringBoard unlocking, and more. You can adjust the speeds to your liking. Additionally, you have the ability to choose how your multitasking applications switch. Normally when you open the App Switcher and change applications, the application will be pushed to the side as the new one pushes in. You can change that horizontal switch to a vertical switch if you like. You also have the option to have a television animation when you lock your device. You can pick the color of it and adjust the sound. Last but not least, you can also change the color of the screenshot flash to anything you want (default: white).
In the capabilities settings of Springtomize, you can choose which functions of iOS can be turned on and off. Below is a list of the functions with their descriptions:
- Homescreen WP: The SpringBoard wallpaper. You can turn this off to decrease lagging.
- VoiceControl: Voice Control is the voice assistant built into some iOS 4+ iDevices.
- Multitasking: The App Switcher. Disabling this will close (not suspend) the application when you press the home button.
- HDR: High Dynamic Range; this is a Camera setting that you can enable in the Camera app to eliminate highs and lows.
- Front Camera: This is the FaceTime camera. You can enable and disable use of it.
- SMS: Text Messaging. You can keep people from using your texting application.
- Telephony: The telephone. You can disable the use of the iPhone's telephone.
- Contacts: The contacts application. You can disable the use of contacts, ultimately saving your privacy.
- Battery Percentage: You can enable or disable the battery percentage in your status bar.
- GPS: Global Positioning System. You can disable your GPS from being able to track your location.
- AppStore: Apple App Store is the application that you download other applications from, disable to stop downloading.
- Magnetometer: Used in the Compass application. Disable to stop use of the Compass.
The dock settings in Springtomize are pretty straightforward and easy. You can enable the CoverFlow Effect which will give your dock applications a Cover Flow perspective like the Cover Flow for your music albums. You can hide the dock completely (the dock, not the icons on the dock), or the labels of the icons on the dock. You can hide the dock's refection, or you can choose how many icons appear on your dock (default four applications).
The lock screen settings in Springtomize let you customize how your lock screen performs and also how it looks. Here is a list of the options with descriptions:
- Display Seconds: Show the seconds in the lock screen's large digital clock.
- Always Charging: Always show the iOS battery background on the lock screen.
- Always Show Wallpaper: Always show the iOS Wallpaper instead of the battery when charging too.
- Disable Camera Button: Disable the iOS 5 camera button after double pressing the home button.
- Always Show Camera: Always show the camera button even without double pressing the home button.
- Hide Top Bar: Hide the lock screen clock; also disabled the iPod controls when double pressing the home button.
- Disable Artwork: Disable showing the album artwork of the music you are listening to on your lock screen.
- Delay Dimming: Keep the lock screen from dimming up to 60 seconds. Useful for IntelliScreenX.
- Hide Knob: Hides the lock screen slider. You will need an alternative unlock method or you can't unlock your device.
- Custom Label: Allows you to put your own text in the, "Slide to unlock" box.
The icon settings in Springtomize let you customize how your icons appear and also how they look. Here is a list of the options with descriptions:
- Hide Labels: This will hide any labels from the icons that aren't on your dock.
- Lock Moving: Keeps applications from being moved around when the device is is jiggle/wiggle mode.
- Disable Jittering: Keeps your iDevice from going into jiggle/wiggle mode.
- Disable Uninstalling: Keeps App Store applications from being deleted.
- Disable All Badges: Hides all badges. This will replace the BadgeClear or noOTA Badge jailbreak tweaks.
- 2 Tap Clear Badge: Tap a badge twice to clear it. This will replace the BadgeClear or noOTA Badge jailbreak tweaks.
- Use Custom Number: Customize the amount of applications per row.
- Resize Icons: Change the size appearance of application icons throughout SpringBoard.
- Hide Icons: Lets you hide certain applications; pick from the menu. Also disable Newsstand.
The folder settings in Springtomize let you customize how your folders appear and also how they behave. Here is a list of the options with descriptions:
- Folders Closebox: Lets you delete a folder and return applications to the home screen.
- Hide Preview: Removes the tiny application pictures from the folder.
- Disable Animation: Stops the animation from opening and closing folders.
- Hide Background: Disables the stock linen background of the folder.
- Auto Close: Closes any open folder after you open an application from it.
- Hide Label: Hides the label of the folder.
- Disable Badges: Hides badges that appear when applications inside the folder get a badge.
- Create in Dock: Allows you to make folders directly on the dock.
- Use Custom Number: Lets you choose how many applications appear per row.
App Switcher
Within the App Switcher settings of Springtomize, you have the option to have a landscape switcher as well as portrait. The Start editing option allows you to open App Switcher and all applications will already be in wiggle/jiggle mode so you can start closing applications. Disabling the paging allows you to scroll without limits through the App Switcher without being paged like on the home screen. You can choose to start with the iPod which means that your iPod controls will be the default view of the App Switcher when you open it. You can disable badges in the app switcher and enable a brightness slider. You can also customize how many applications appear per page of the App Switcher and you can hide or dim applications that aren't running so that only the running applications appear solidly.
Time Machine
The Time Machine feature of Springtomize is really cool. It allows you to have a backup of your Springtomize settings so that if you play around with it and forget what settings you had originally, you can restore your settings to your backup. This works similarly to the way that Time Machine works on a Mac as Time Machine on a Mac will put all of your stuff back the way it was last time you saved it. With Time Machine for Springtomize, you can save things such as your icon state (where they were on SpringBoard), what wallpaper you had, and Springtomize Settings. You can use toggle switches which lets you select which of the above options to restore, or you can just reload everything. There is an automatic backup option that will save periodically for you.
Staus Bar
With the Status Bar options of Springtomize you can can do some heavy duty revamping of the iOS stock status bar. You can put a custom carrier (which can be basically anything you want), and you can replace the time with a different kind of text that you want as well. Not only can you adjust the things that show at all times, but you can hide certain things from appearing on the status bar such as:
- Airplane
- Battery
- Battery Percent
- Bluetooth Battery
- Bluetooth
- Call Forwarding
- Data Network
- Location
- Play
- Rotation
- Carrier Name
- Signal Strength
- Sync Indicator
- Time
Hiding them means that either the existing icons that appear all the time will be hidden, and that even the icons that only appear under certain circumstances will be hidden as well.
The pages settings of Springtomize is very limited, but there isn't much you can do with paging anyways. With Springtomize you can hide the page dots at the bottom of your SpringBoard, remove the page limits (there is a limit to the amount of pages you can have), you can disable Spotlight, and you can disable paging so that you can scroll through your SpringBoard freely without being constrained to certain pages.
Some of you out there are just hardcore themers who can't stand to see the stock iOS appear on your screen. If you're one of those people than you'll appreciate Springtomize. It lets you add your own custom docks, your own custom batteries, custom label fonts, custom label sizes, custom label colors, and even lets you make all of your springboard applications GrayScale. Think of all of the Cydia jailbreak tweaks that this eliminates the need for.
Notification Center
With the Notification Center options of Springtomize, you can choose to have your notifications instantly cleared. This can be convenient if you're tired of going through and individually double tapping the button to clear notifications from each application. Additionally, you can adjust how many lines of text appear for each notification in Notification Center. You can have anywhere between one and thirty lines of text. That's enough to read an email. This competes with IntelliScreenX in that respect, allowing you to disable a widget to save loading time.
The more section of Springtomize has everything else. It includes documentation which walks you through each section very carefully. If this guide and review wasn't enough information for you, then check out the nice guide that Filippo included in the application. Additionally, you can set your settings files here, and disable and enable MobileSubstrate addons for troubleshooting. The last two options allow you to report a problem and return the settings to the defaults.
I love Springtomize 2. It eliminates the need for having numerous jailbreak tweaks that do what Springtomize does. Using Springtomize over a ton of other jailbreak tweaks means optimization because less tweaks need to be installed on the device at once which means less things are doing less. Springtomize replaces some applications like BadgeClear, App Switcher Brightness, Brightness switcher, FakeCarrier, CleanStatus, and many many more. It's just impossible to list them all. For the small price of Springtomize 2, you can own an arsenal of tweaks which would cost well over $35. I recommend it to everyone with an iDevice; it doesn't slow your device down in any way (even with all of these settings). Props to Filippo, very good job on Springtomize 2! I think we cal all agree that this bundle is worth more than the $2.99 price tag he is selling it for!

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Learn more about our ranking as the top pediatric hospital here.
In the Home Parenteral Nutrition Program at Boston Children's Hospital, we take a family-centered approach to treating infants, children, and adolescents who require intravenous (IV) or parenteral nutrition (PN) and hydration support at home.From the first visit, we make sure that you know what each team member brings to the table, and help you to understand the underlying medical or surgical reasons for why your child needs parenteral nutrition.
What is home parenteral nutrition?
For various reasons, the intestines of some children are unable to digest food and provide the nutrition needed to live and grow. PN is a method of providing this nutrition intravenously through a central or PICC line when a child cannot take food by mouth or by enterally (through a feeding tube). The nutrients bypass the normal digestive system and enter the child directly through a thin tube inserted into a vein. Read more about home parenteral nutrition and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Our staff will also work closely with your child's pediatrician and other doctors to ensure the best care possible. For a more detailed description about our healthcare staff please click here.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children and families while at the same time helping to improve their nutritional status and overall function. Though complex, with proper care management and close collaboration between your child's care providers (e.g., home nurses, home care resources, pediatrician, etc.), we aim to provide care maximally outside the hospital addressing all of your child's needs.
Established in 1980, our program is the nation's leading referral center for children who require intravenous nutrition. We have already taken care of more than 400 infants, children and adolescents from around the world with medical and surgical problems that keep them from taking in nutrition internally.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together experts who specialize in the care of children on IV nutrition, including gastroenterologists, a pediatric nurse, 2 pediatric nurse practitioners, an intestinal failure dietitian, and dedicated parenteral nutrition pharmacists.
Because we specialize in the care of children, have long experience in supporting children on parenteral nutrition in a home setting, and can draw on the knowledge of experts across our institution, we can help you access services that address and help to prevent the major complications associated with parenteral nutrition.
We work closely with Boston Children's Center for Advanced Intestinal Rehabilitation (CAIR), Motility and Gastrointestinal Disorders Center, Intestine and Multivisceral Transplant Program, the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, and other centers and programs to offer a comprehensive set of services for children on home parenteral nutrition and their families and caregivers, including:
We offer dedicated HPN Program outpatient visits every Monday afternoon on the 5th floor of the hospital's Fegan building. We also provide consultations in conjunction as part of the CAIR program every Thursday afternoon on Fegan 3.
Boston Children's is so much more than a hospital—it's a community of researchers, clinicians, administrators, support staff, innovators, teachers, patients and families, all working together to make the impossible possible.

By Lesli Nolen
September 2010
About mid-July, I decided to not wear make-up for two weeks. I wanted to experiment with the idea of how I would be treated based solely on my looks. I didn't think this would be a hard assignment. What started out as an experiment to see how others viewed me without make-up turned into a self examination. I discovered I am my own worst critic, not others.
Before doing this I talked to my husband, Breech and daughter, Skylar about doing this. Breech was all for it. Skylar on the other hand was a different story. She immediately began asking questions. What if we run into one of my friends and they make fun of me because my mom doesn't have any make-up on? What if... What if....? I tried to explain to her I wanted to know how others viewed me if I didn't wear make-up. I wanted her to know that outside appearances doesn't make the person. I told her I am who I am because of my heart not because of what I look like. After talking to her for a while and getting her to see the big picture of this, she was on board.
First day of the journey wasn't too bad. I had lots to do in the office, therefore I didn't see many people. On the way home from work, I needed to stop at the store. As I was waiting in line, a gentleman with his sick baby girl, began the conversation. We talked about children in general and a little of this and that and as I was leaving, I reached for my shades and remembered I had no make up on. This person, whoever he was, was not bothered by my outer appearance. I left there with a smile on my face and was excited about my two week journey of no make-up.
The next day I again showed up at work with no make-up on. Thank goodness my co-workers are great and didn't mind my little experiment. I think it took them a while, but they adapted to the new scenery quite well. That day the Fed-Ex man came in looked at me strangely when I said I could sign for the package. I don't think he thought I was an employee. I had just walked in the office before he arrived and was standing there talking, purse on my shoulder and of course no make-up. We kinda laughed about it and then thought we probably would think the same thing too.
Later that same day I was around some people I see on a regular basis. I was surprised when the questions starting coming. "Did you have 'work' done?" "Are you having work done?" "Did you forget something this morning?" I just laughed and said no. I think I was more shocked that none of these people asked me why I didn't have make-up on or if something was wrong rather than the questions they did ask. I couldn't stop thinking about their questions. I kept hearing them over and over in my head.
I was amazed at how I let those little questions get to me. I was almost hurt because they thought I was having "work done," meaning plastic surgery. My first thought was, I'm too young to need that. Then I began questioning even my own conclusion. Does make-up really make that big of a difference in how I look. How much do looks matter today? How much do looks matter to me? Am I who I think I am? I looked in the mirror that night and realized this experiment was more about me than anybody else.
Then I got to thinking about my job. Do looks matter when it comes to my selling advertising? I was a bit naïve and thought, "no way." So I did some investigating. Turns out looks may not be on the top of the list with some, but it does help. Some of my clients told me they would rather have something pretty come through the door rather than something not so pretty.
Throughout my two-week experiment, I came to a couple of conclusions. First of all, I was the person who had the biggest problem with my not wearing make-up. It took me the longest to overcome what I saw when I looked in the mirror. My reflection wasn't what I expected it to be. I'm so used to seeing myself with make-up on, that I forgot what the real me looked like. Every time I saw myself in mirror I had do a double take. I didn't know who this person was.
But, after two weeks of no make-up and lots of soul searching I discovered I was exactly who God made me to be. My little imperfections are perfect. God sees my heart, not the color of my eye shadow. I'm not saying looks don't matter and that you shouldn't look professional in a place of business, but outer appearances shouldn't be our primary concern. As I said, I bagan this journey wanting to find out how others would judge me without my face on and I ended up finding out who I was.
If you didn't get a chance to see the real me with out make-up on the accompanying photos will let you compare and contrast. So if you see me one day not looking quite right, remember it's my heart that makes me who I am, not my make-up. I received lots of advice and opinions while on this two week expedition and one wise lady told me, "Your make-up does enhance your external beauty, but doesn't touch your inner beauty as it needs no enhancement!"

The distributions reported in this publication are amounts disbursed to local governments, cities and counties, by the Office of the State Treasurer. These taxes are collected by the Department of Revenue which is responsible for the correct allocation of the funds. The amounts in this publication are based on the local share of retail sales and use taxes collected two months prior to the distribution. Distributions are made monthly; however, no allowances or adjustments are made for late returns. Distributions from late returns are made in the second month after the returns are received just as they are for current returns. The data are used by local governments to track disbursements and plan budgets.
Differences Between Local Tax Distributions and the Quarterly Business Review
The amounts reported in this publication should not be compared with the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) amounts for taxable retail sales by county and city (tables 3 and 4). The two amounts differ in the following respects.
1. The local distribution amounts are based on local retail sales and use taxes. QBR amounts are based on retail sales only. The use tax is levied on items purchased out of state but used in state and on other items on which sales tax has not been paid.
2. Local sales and use tax distributions are made monthly based on cash collections of two months prior, without regard to when the tax liability occurred. QBR taxable retail sales are reported for the month in which the liability occurs. Adjustments are made for returns up to two months late.
3. State administrative costs are deducted from the local distributions and the county share is deducted from city distributions.
Local Sales and Use Tax Distributions
A portion of the total sales and use tax collected is a local tax and is returned to the city or county or certain other local jurisdictions where the sales transaction took place. The local jurisdictions are identified by a location code on the tax form. The calculation for the distributions of the local sales and use tax is as follows. A 1 percent fee is deducted from the total reported collections for state administration of the program. (State law allows deduction of up to 2 percent for administration costs.) Of the remaining 99 percent, 15 percent is given to the county for transactions occurring within cities. The remaining 85 percent is distributed to the cities as their share of the basic or optional tax. Counties receive the full amount attributable to sales in the unincorporated areas, plus the 15 percent share for sales in cities.
Distributions can fluctuate dramatically due to population changes, as well as annexations and incorporations. Businesses are notified if their location code has changed due to an incorporation or due to annexation into a public transportation benefit area (PTBA).
Transit Tax Distributions
Cities, counties or PTBAs may levy a local sales and use tax for transit programs. The tax ranges in rate from 0.1 to 0.6 percent (excluding the local tax for high capacity transit, as described below). After an administration fee of 1.5 percent is deducted, the remainder is returned to the transit districts.
Criminal Justice Tax Distributions
The criminal justice tax is an additional local sales/use tax of 0.1 percent for criminal justice programs. The criminal justice distribution is based on population rather than location code. This tax is levied only by the county and is imposed countywide, but the receipts are shared with the cities. Of the revenues collected for criminal justice, 1.5 percent is retained for administration. Of the amount remaining, 10 percent is distributed to the county and 90 percent to cities and counties on a per capita basis based on their official April 1 populations.
Juvenile Detention Facility Tax Distributions
The juvenile detention facility tax of 0.1 percent was approved by the 1995 Legislature for the purpose of providing funds for juvenile detention facilities and jails in counties with populations less than one million. Each county must vote to approve the tax. It is levied only by the county and is imposed countywide. Of the revenues collected, 1.5 percent is retained for administration and the remainder is distributed wholly to the county.
Local Sales/Use Tax Distributions to Other Jurisdictions
The Spokane County Public Facilities District is authorized to levy a 0.1 percent retail sales tax for the funding of a convention center.
The funding measures for a professional baseball stadium in King County include an additional local sales and use tax at a maximum rate of 0.017 percent. This tax is credited against the 6.5 percent state tax, so the consumer does not experience an additional tax burden. Also included is a 0.5 percent local tax on food and beverages sold by restaurants, taverns and bars in King County. This tax is not deducted from the state rate, so it is an additional tax for the consumer.
A local sales and use tax of 0.016 percent has been applied to all taxable sales in King County for the construction of a new stadium for a professional football team. This tax is credited against the state tax and does not increase the consumers tax burden.
Effective April 1, 1997, the local sales and use tax rates within the Regional Transit Authority area, which includes urban King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, increased by 0.4 percent to fund a high capacity, rapid transit system.
Hotel/Motel Tax Distributions
The "regular" hotel/motel tax distributions are for a local option tax of 2 percent on sales of hotel/motel rooms. The regular hotel/motel tax is not paid in addition to other state and local sales taxes. Instead, it is credited against the state's 6.5 percent retail sales tax. Cities can levy the regular hotel/motel tax within their corporate limits and counties can levy the tax in unincorporated areas and within cities that do not levy the tax. (There are two exceptions. The first is King County where the only city authorized to impose the tax is Bellevue and county government levies the hotel/motel tax throughout the entire county, including Bellevue. The second exception is in Yakima County where both the City of Yakima and the county levy the hotel/motel tax within the City of Yakima.)
A blank in the table beside a county name indicates the county does not levy the tax. Cities not levying the tax have been excluded from the table. Zeros indicate the city or county levies the tax but did not receive a distribution that month.
To comply with state law requiring data on individual taxpayers to be kept confidential, in the regular and additional hotel/motel tax distribution tables, a "D" indicates that the data cannot be disclosed because the jurisdictions have fewer than three taxpayers who report on a monthly basis. The amounts distributed for the hotel/motel tax have been aggregated in the category called "Ds" in the summary table; they are not included in the totals for the cities or counties.
Additional Hotel/Motel Taxes
The "additional" (also referred to as "special") hotel/motel tax distributions are for hotel/motel taxes that have been authorized by statute for specific cities and counties for specific purposes. These taxes, which vary in rate from 2 percent to 3 percent, are paid in addition to all other state and local sales taxes.
Rental Car Tax Distributions
Counties may impose an additional 1 percent sales tax upon rental cars. This tax is in addition to the regular retail sales tax rate and the 5.9 percent state rental car tax. Proceeds from this additional tax are to be used for public sports facilities and youth or amateur sport activities.
One of the provisions of the funding measures for the professional baseball stadium in King County is an additional sales and use tax of 2 percent on car rentals in King County. The tax rate for car rentals in King County is therefore 17.1 percent which represents the total of the combined state and local retail sales tax (8.2 percent), the statewide car rental tax (5.9 percent), the optional King County car rental tax (1 percent) and the special stadium sales and use tax (2 percent).
Within the Regional Transit Authority area of urban King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, the rental car tax is increased by an additional 0.8 percent. This tax is credited against the state tax.

NEWTOWN, CT -- Police here said they found thousands of dollars' worth of consumer videogames in the home of Adam Lanza, who massacred 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14.
It was the first credible confirmation of widespread speculation and frequently repeated charges that Lanza was a heavy player. Media reports and politicians have blamed so-called violent games for the shooting since it occurred.
In a related story, state Rep. DebraLee Hovey, who represents Sandy Hook, a village of Newtown, has proposed a bill to impose a 10% "sin tax" on consumer videogames that carry the "M" rating for "Mature" content.
Hovey told a local TV news reporter that the purpose would be to make purchasers think more carefully about what they were buying.
Proceeds from the tax would be earmarked for what supporters call public education about game content and what detractors might term anti-game propaganda.
Investigators also told CBS News that Lanza viewed himself as an emulator -- or competitor -- of Anders Breivik, the Norwegian who shot 77 people in 2011.
Christopher J. Ferguson, chair of the psychology and communication department at Texas A&M International University, said in a special exclusive for CNN that "there is no evidence linking violent games to mass shootings."
The U.S. Secret Service discredited the theory that violent media is linked to mass murder in 2002 when it found that school shooters were not exposed to high volumes of violent media, said Ferguson.

Hi All,
I'm a rambler, so I apologize in advance if this verbose...
I don't know how to link to my BG but the gist is that DH (dear husband) and his older sister were physically and emotionally abused by MIL (mother-in-law) and FIL (father-in-law) during their childhood, with DH's older sister recieving the brunt of the abuse. MIL (mother-in-law) and FIL (father-in-law) divorced years ago and both are individually insane, awful people today. SIL (sister-in-law) has CO both parents and gone to therapy but is still severely traumatized; she's been a barely-functional human being/drug addict since she was about 16 (she's now 34).
DH (dear husband) is the "golden child" and after leaving home for college 16+ years ago has maintained distant relationships with everyone, but still has a lot of anxiety around people generally and has been getting help for this for a few years-- meditation therapy has done wonders for him. I'm resentful/uncomfortable about the abuse and I wish that we could CO all of these people, but it's DH's family and he wants to maintain distant relationships rather than rock the boat with his entire extended family (he's close to a couple uncles and cousins), so I go along with it as long as there are strict boundaries with all ILs (can't stay at our house, can't be alone with me or our kids even for a second, no holidays, etc.). The distance thing was working out just fine until we had kids. They'd call DH (dear husband) every 3 - 6 months and never visit, and DH (dear husband) would give them very basic answers for about 20 minutes and then get off the phone.
DH (dear husband) is naturally a very fragile, shy and anxious person but with therapy and also I think because of our strong relationship he's grown a giant spine and is way more confident than when I met him. In February we had twin boys, the first and only grandchildren for ILs, and they went predicatably nuts... which is when I discovered DWIL. Now MIL (mother-in-law) is on an extended TO because of boundary-stomping followed by an awesome tantrum that I posted about on here, and FIL (father-in-law) and his new wife are actually paying attention to us and wanting to occasionally visit, get pictures, etc. It's still relatively distant (at least compared to our relationship with FOO) but it feels like more work now because before kids I pretty much had no relationship with them at all.
FIL, in addition to obviously being a child abuser, is a total bigot. He has a big mouth and likes to talk to us about his (racist/sexist/awful) views on the world, talk about how much money he has and what a big shot he is, and also innocently-but-not-innocently teases DH (dear husband) for his political beliefs and it's almost like he's looking for a reaction, but we both just respond with, "Uh Huh. MmmHmm. Sure.Great" because, again, it's a distant relationship and we don't go past surface-level stuff, ever. He sends crazy political emails to DH, and it all gets BH'd, and the distant relationship lives on.
Also, FIL (father-in-law) is really into guns. Like, SUPER into guns. Owns a company that sells gun accessories and goes to gun shows in- and out-of-state and hunts a lot and talks about his hunting trips a lot.
FIL (father-in-law) took DH (dear husband) hunting once when he was about 10 years old. DH (dear husband) shot a rabbit and wounded it, and then FIL (father-in-law) finished it off. It was one of the worst experiences of DH's life, and he refused to go hunting or near guns ever again after that. He's recounted this story to me several times over the years and still feels guilty about killing that rabbit. Today even if there's a spider in the house DH (dear husband) won't kill it but will capture and release even though I haaaaattteee spiders and want them all dead. He's a total softie.
I am terrified of guns. I was mugged about 10 years ago and had a gun pointed at my head and it was all over with quickly but totally sucked and guns scare the shit out of me.
ANYWAYS... cut to two weeks ago. FIL (father-in-law) and his wife visit. They're about a 5 hour drive away and drove to our city late on a Saturday and met up with us for dinner, then went to a hotel, then we met up with them for a quickie breakfast at their hotel and then they left. Overall it was fairly painless and all boundaries were upheld and everyone got along and we had some delightful distant/surface-level chitchat. Except...
At one point over dinner, FIL (father-in-law) mentioned that he was thinking about leaving his guns to us in his will.
DH (dear husband) said, "Remember what happened with me and the rabbit? Not sure I'll need guns anytime soon!"
Then FIL (father-in-law) started going on about how everyone needs to at least learn how to use guns and we would just *love* his guns and would we like them? We want the guns, right? ...and whe he stopped to take a breath after his convincing speech I immediately said, "NO. BEAN DIP?" (paraphrasing bean dip)
It came out a little louder and more forcefully that I'd intended, but I was seriously done with the conversation. He dropped it. It worked. They left without any other awkwardness. Huzzah.
Then DH (dear husband) gets the following email yesterday:
[2 paragraphs of blah blah blah election, what FIL (father-in-law) did yesterday, etc.]
I said something to you the other day about my guns and Melanie made a very loud comment of No. DH, most of these guns are very nice and somewhat pricey guns, some of them not to easy to get. I figure they worth around $12M to $15M and I would like you to have them when I pass to the great beyond. I will do what you want of course, but I think you should have some say in it, not just her. Also, the grand kids might like some of these when they become adults.
You and I should at the very minimum have a conversation about it. You can be a Liberal and still like the shooting sports and guns when handled correctly it are safe as you well know. Also, men should know something about weapons. Enough said. Let me know how YOU feel about it
The last paragraph gave us total LOLburgers.
DH (dear husband) showed me the email and then asked how I think he should respond, and we still can't decide. His first inclination was to say something along the lines of, "You heard the lady. No thanks!" and leave it at that, but it seems like he's trying to undermine me and manpulate the situation, so I don't know if we should be more forceful/stern, or just BH it altogether like the rest of his emails.
Also FWIW, we don't expect him to call DH (dear husband) again for at least several more weeks/months or to visit for several more months because it's a distant relationship, so this isn't exactly our HTDO because we're busy and don't want to bother with him or get into some ridiculous argument about guns.
Another point: FIL (father-in-law) claims the guns are worth $12 - 15 million. I seriously doubt that, but he *is* rich and owns a bunch of stuff so they're probably worth a decent amount. DH (dear husband) and I are both also wondering if we should just suck it up and let him leave us his guns so that we can sell them the moment he dies and afford to send our boys to college (or me to Tuscany, whatever). It's realy tempting because we're not able to save that much right now, but I don't want to give that smug asshole the satisfaction of us accepting his offer while he's still alive. But then if we're so pricipled about it, why don't we just CO completely?
Also with DH's sister CO from FIL (father-in-law) he has no one else to leave his posessions to, so I think he's going to try to leave them with us no matter what but is trying to get us to give in to him anyway so that he can feel good about himself.
I don't know. My mind is going in a million directions. DH (dear husband) doesn't seem to care and wants us both to deal with this situation as little as possible, and as of this morning has been BH the email until a good idea comes along, maybe forever.
Help me out DWIL. What do we do with FIL?

Durham – who built HDR, Inc. into an international architectural and engineering company – has been one of the strongest supporters and one of the most generous donors for the University of Nebraska, making significant contributions to NU campuses.
"Chuck Durham is the perfect individual for this Medal," said University President James B. Milliken. "He's a man who has been one of the strongest supporters and one of the most generous donors for the University of Nebraska. Over the years Chuck and his late wife, Margre, have made significant contributions that have touched many of our campuses: in medical research, patient care and surgery – in education programs for science, information technology, architectural engineering and construction. We are grateful for his gifts. We are grateful for his vision and generosity."
Members of the Board of Regents select the Medal recipient, honoring an individual whose contributions to the University of Nebraska go beyond the support of a single campus.
Now considered the most esteemed of all University honors, the Medal was established by the Board last year to recognize someone whose service to the University has provided "exceptional benefits in furtherance of the goals and mission of the institution."
"Chuck is a man whose generous spirit has elevated the University of Nebraska," according to Charles Wilson, Chairman of the Board of Regents. "His contributions are evident in so many programs and facilities on our campuses."
Durham has made significant contributions to the University of Nebraska, including substantial support for the Charles W. Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction at the Peter Kiewit Institute in Omaha, and the Durham Research Center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Durham is a longtime business and civic leader in Omaha who established the Durham Foundation along with Margre Durham. In 2003 he received the Horatio Alger Award which is bestowed on outstanding Americans who are dedicated community leaders with a commitment to excellence.
In response to the presentation of his Horatio Alger Award, Durham gave these words of advice: "Today young people live in a different world than the one into which I was born. But some things never change. Get an education, pick a career that fulfills you, learn all you can beyond the scholastic years, always give your best effort, establish goals, choose friends and colleagues wisely, keep family in the forefront of your interest, and always remember your responsibility to society."

If you've been denied access to opening a checking account, a Capital One announcement may provide some promising news. The banking giant has entered into an agreement with New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman to stop using information from ChexSystems to predict whether consumers present credit risks. While Capital One will continue to look for past fraudulent crimes in a prospective account holder's history, smaller issues will no longer play a role in approving the new account.
"No one -- least of all struggling New Yorkers -- should be forced to rely on high-cost alternatives to banks just because they bounced a check or were a victim of identity theft," Attorney General Schneiderman said. "Equal access is the least we can do to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to widely used services such as our nation's banking system."
That lack of equal access has proven very costly for consumers who rely on alternative financial services such as check-cashing services and prepaid cards. In fact, a 2010 study shows that in the Jamaica neighborhood in Queens and the Melrose neighborhood in the Bronx, residents shelled out a whopping $19 million per year in check-cashing fees.
Those expenses have been adding up around the country, too. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., approximately 17 million Americans do not have traditional bank accounts. While this agreement was struck in New York, Capital One says it plans to implement the practice nationwide. The move already has earned plenty of positive reviews from organizations committed to helping the unbanked population.
"Today's announcement is an important step in the process of reforming how the big banks serve low-income consumers," said Justine Zinkin, CEO of New York-based financial counselor Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners. "At Neighborhood Trust, our clients are regularly denied basic banking services because of errors in ChexSystems or identity theft, and it is nearly impossible to correct these inaccuracies."
Other banks may follow Capital One's lead. The Attorney General is currently looking at how other institutions use ChexSystems and other databases for screening account applicants.

Manning Award Watch List Released for 2008-09
Thursday, August 28, 2008
The Allstate Sugar Bowl has announced the 2008-09 list of players to watch for the fifth annual Manning Award, given to college football's top quarterback. The list is comprised of 46 players who were selected based on their performance in the 2007 season.
Making this year's Manning Award watch list are:
"The Sugar Bowl Committee is proud to again work with the Mannings on the presentation of this prestigious award," said Sugar Bowl CEO Paul Hoolahan. "Furthermore, we are excited about the talented group of quarterbacks we will have the opportunity to watch this fall."
The Manning Award was created by the Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning, and will be presented to the recipient at an annual ceremony following the holiday bowl season.
Archie was the starting quarterback at Ole Miss for three years, and his many accomplishments led the Rebels to retire his jersey, No. 18. Peyton spent his college passing days at the University of Tennessee, while Eli followed in his father's footsteps under center for Ole Miss.
All three of the Mannings were named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year during their collegiate careers. (Archie, 1969, referred to as SEC Most Valuable Player during that time; Peyton, 1997; Eli, 2004)
"These young men are very talented and will no doubt represent themselves and their respective universities well this fall," Archie Manning said. "We look forward to watching the great things this group of quarterbacks will accomplish and will eagerly await the opportunity to honor one of these young men early in 2009."
Last year, Boston College's Matt Ryan took home the honor and went on to be the third overall pick in the NFL draft. All three previous recipients were also chosen as top 10 overall draft picks by NFL teams.
Finalists for the award will be announced prior to the start of the bowl season.

text: Former CIA Director and apparently really crap husband, David Petraeus is now up to mistress number two who apparently was harassed by mistress number one. What I am really hoping for in this situation is some kind of confirmation that there is a circle of life and that one of the women that Petraeus slept with or that we discovered he slept with also had sex with Tiger Woods. I don't think it would be quite as interesting if one of them slept with Jesse James but, sure, I am not going to complain about it. What I want though is for that Tiger Woods connection. I want that waitress from Perkins to have slept with the General too. The Florida thing might help, but so far, the General has been attracted to women with dark hair and dark features and Tiger went primarily for the bottled blonde look. I am still hoping though that Rachel Uchitel comes through with a yes.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
TACOMA — With the discus competition winding down, Dan Boyden of Arlington was just moments away from a coveted championship on Friday's second day of the Class 4A state track and field meet at Mount Tahoma High School.
Damon Unland of Ferris had one last throw to pull ahead of Boyden into first place. And with all the pressure of a make-or-break toss, Unland let loose an impressive fling of 185 feet, 5 inches — roughly 5 feet shy of the state meet record — to snatch the victory away from Boyden.
The Arlington senior, competing in his third state meet, settled for second with a throw of 176-2.
"Damon is an incredible thrower," Boyden said. "It's a little devastating to lose on the last throw, but at least I'm losing to a good thrower. And I wouldn't want it to be any other way than (finishing second) to his best.
"Maybe it would've been (better) if he was ahead the whole time," he added. To lose on the last throw, "there's just a little more sting, that's all."
Boyden had an earlier toss that was probably beyond 180 feet and maybe would have been enough to win, but it landed a few feet outside the chalk line for a fault. "That was my best throw," he said.
Joining Boyden in the discus finals was a trio of other Western Conference throwers. Wyatt Meyring of Edmonds-Woodway placed fifth (153-0), Nick Demars of Cascade was sixth (152-10) and Joshua Sharpe of Snohomish was seventh (146-1). Sharpe, a junior, was the highest finisher among underclassmen in the event.
Boyden was one of three runner-up finishers from Snohomish County schools during the Day 2 competition, which also included 3A and 2A schools. Cascade's Kaleb Dobson was second in the Class 4A boys 110-meter high hurdles and Jackson's Everett Kleven placed second in the Class 4A boys pole vault.
Kleven, a senior, was one of six vaulters to clear 14 feet, and one of two to clear 14-3 with a third vaulter passing that height. All three missed at 14-6, and Kleven finished second to Evan Britt of Wenatchee based on five misses to Britt's three.
"I felt like I did really, really well, but I also feel like I could've done better," Kleven said. "But I'm just so happy that I got second place. It feels really good. … Yeah, I was a little disappointed (not to win). But when it comes down to it, I did a lot better than I was supposed to do and that's something I'm just really proud of."
At 14-3, Kleven missed his first two vaults, leaving him just one more chance to advance in the competition. On his third attempt he got a strong push off the pole to clear the bar, and then let out a big yell of triumph as he dropped to the pit.
On that jump, Kleven said, "the pressure was on. With two misses, it was my last jump and I had to make it. To put the form together like I knew I could do, it was just a huge relief." His last miss at 14-6 came close to a clean vault, "but I don't think it was as good as my 14-3 jump," he added.
"Everett performed well," said Tony Carnevale, his coach. "Everything was right. … We wanted to peak right at state and we did that. So he responded well."
Like the discus competition, the Wesco was well represented in the boys pole vault. Malcolm Manson of Mariner tied for third and Kodiak Landis of Snohomish was eighth.
Dobson began the day thinking he had a chance to win the high hurdles, but his time of 14.52 left him second to Eric Simpson of Rogers-Puyallup, a fellow junior who finished in 14.12.
"I'm a little heartbroken just because of all the hard work I've put in," Dobson said. "But I'm still proud to be here. And to place second in the state of Washington, I'm very proud about that."
Dobson will compete in two more finals today, the boys long jump and the boys 300 intermediate hurdles.
One of the day's most remarkable performances was turned in by Tyson Penn of Federal Way. A freshman, he won the Class 4A boys high jump with a leap of 6-8.
The meet wraps up today with finals in the remaining events. Competition begins at 9:30 a.m., and continues to the final track events scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.

I can't convert my website to responsive design because I can't get anything to work on IE..
and now I just find out that -- oh joy -- media queries don't work in IE.. gee, what a suprise, eh... stupid me, expecting IE to work like a sane browser... I'm SO SICK of everyting being a problem in IE... and when you're on a mac and don't have access to IE, even more fun.....:-o
everything I have done for IE, every time I go to the library to test, nothing, absolutely nothing, works in IE 7 or 8
for example, these use respond.js for the media queries for IE, but I could not get them to work in IE 7 or 8....
do these two pages look in IE 7 & 8 the way they should look in other browsers?
here, http://mayacove.com/dev/rd/index3_mq_script.htmlI applied another script I found for the media queries for IE..does this look in IE 7 & 8 the same as in other browsers?
and here, I applied modernizr for the HTML5 tags..http://mayacove.com/dev/rd/test_rd_mod.htmldoes this look in IE 7 & 8 the same as in other browsers?
thank you....
At least you know you are a member of a very large and sympathetic club..
Frankly, I see no purpose in trying to get Internet Exploder to recognize media queries. Let that browser just use the default styles (which have to be for desktop, obviously) and be done with it. Anyone clueless enough to be using IE 7 or 8 will be quite satisfied with a fixed width layout, even if it scrolls right a bit.
If your default styles are for mobile, you could always just offer up a conditional style sheet to IE with a fixed desktop layout. That's probably easier than messing with JS, and more than IE deserves, IMHO.
thank you for your help & suggestions, Ralph..
the thing is, I'm a developer and I need to learn to make things work in IE 7 & 8...;-) I've always been very good with cross-browser/IE stuff, but this is cross-browser on a different level.......;-o
this is the site I've been using as example for responsive design...www.bostonglobe.com.. they support all the way from IE6 to the devices, they also support noscript and have print stylesheets.. it's friggin' amazing, they support everything.....;-)
I actually also did you suggest, namely just use a style sheet for IE.. (I guess should be for IE8 & older, yes?)
so I also tested these in IE at the library yesterday..page 1page 2
IE would just not load the stylesheet that I have in the conditional, for example

Photo Gallery: Carlos says knowledge will help end of violence
SAN BERNARDINO -- John Carlos was the athlete who won the bronze medal in the 200 meter track event for the United States in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.
But he is best known for his silent statement -- the raised, black-gloved fist heard around the world, the Black Power Salute.
Carlos's gesture on the Olympic medal stage, as well as a similar gesture by gold medalist Tommie Smith, resulted in suspension for both from the U.S. team and banned them from the Olympic Village.
"In Mexico City, it was like shock treatment - 45 years later we're still talking about it. It's not about beating someone up but waking him up," said Carlos, now 67.
On Wednesday, the former track and field athlete, who has a doctorate in Humanties, inspired an auditorium full of students during an African-American History event at San Bernardino High School.
"The only way to deal with violence is through knowledge," Carlos told the students.
In school, they called him a troublemaker, Carlos remembered. "But if you make trouble like Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Nelson Mandela and Rosa Parks, who were also called troublemakers, then I'm in good company."
Carlos met King just 10 days before his assassination and said that even though the civil rights leader's life had been threatened, Carlos saw no fear in his eyes.
Carlos, who lives in Palm Springs, travels internationally, speaking to people of all ages and ethnicities.
His message to San Bernardino teens was: Stay in school, stay focused on education, respect women, stay out of trouble, stay out of jail.
He connected with the young people, his words engaging them.
Marlan Parker, a U.S. History teacher on campus, said that Carlos's appearance was like seeing history come to life.
"He motivated all of us to believe we can make a difference," Parker said.
For Jamal Williams, Carlos's gesture was the ultimate statement.
"He stood up for what he believed in," said the 17-year-old senior, adding that he would take Carlos's motivational words to a track meet with him when he ran the 200 and 100 meter races on Thursday.
"He's against injustice. That's cool."

Microsoft goes for the blue
Things weren't exactly looking up for Team Redmond in Beijing during the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Of course, if you weren't looking up, you may not have noticed the notorious Blue Screen of Death captured by The Register here.
What's more, some of the comments in the story that this was "shopped" defy reason — I don't think the best of the best of the best in Photoshop can do it, let alone a superstar in Gimp. Apparently they used XP and not Vista for the opening ceremonies, so perhaps in a backwards sort of way it is a promotion of Vista by our friends in suburban Seattle.
Time will tell.

Reinhardt Selected to Compete in 100 Fly at NCAA Championships
Complete Psych Sheet
Official NCAA Release
Liberty freshman Jess Reinhardt has been included in the field for the 2013 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming & Diving Championships. The national championship meet will be hosted by IUPUI at IU Natatorium in Indianapolis, Ind., from March 21-23.
Reinhardt will swim in the 100 fly, which will be contested on Friday, March 22. She improved her conference-record time to 52.87 at the Ohio State Last Chance Meet on Sunday, and holds the 36th-fastest 100 fly time among those entered. Prior to Sunday, her top time was 53.18, set during the A final at the CCSA Championships.
The Gatton, Queensland, Australia, native, will be Liberty's second-ever representative at the NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships. Last season, Brye Ravettine competed in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 back at the NCAA national meet, becoming Liberty's first swimming All-American by placing 13th in the 50 free.
Reinhardt was named the CCSA Women's Freshman of the Meet after winning both the 100 and 200 fly at the 2013 CCSA Swimming & Diving Championships. She set conference and meet records in both the 100 (53.18) and 200 (2:00.41) fly.
