Post subject: Stillwater/Washington County Residents (Stillwater Gazette)
I'm looking for someone in Stillwater (or Washington County) to speak with a reporter from the Stillwater Gazette about Washington County's "new", more open, geocaching policy.
If you are interested, please get back to me privately ASAP.
Sad state of affairs.

A nice article appeared in the Stillwater Gazette on Thursday:
STILLWATER - It's sometimes hard to get the family out for a hike through one of Washington County's parks.
But tell them they're on a treasure hunt using a global positioning system (GPS), and they'll likely jump at the chance.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners recently approved a change to its parks policy that further allows for "geocaching," an increasingly popular activity that asks people to hunt for items (caches) that fellow geocachers have hidden in public places. They use GPS devices to track down the caches.
"This is a worldwide activity," said Washington County Parks Senior Planner John Elholm. "It's a high-tech treasure hunt."
As long as geocachers keep the hidden item or items out of environmentally sensitive areas and do not dig holes or disturb the parks in other ways, county officials don't have a problem with the game. It's become popular at the Lake Elmo Park Reserve, Pine Point Park and elsewhere throughout the county.
With 100,000 players worldwide and 5,000 in Minnesota, the activity has boomed since its inception with the government allowance of increasingly accurate GPS devices, said Bill Roehl, president of the Minnesota Geocaching Association.
At geocaching.com, people can simply enter their zip code to find hidden caches near their home. Some caches were recently uncovered at Stillwater's Pioneer Park and in Bayport.
Families mostly engage in the activity, Elholm said, though individuals also take part. But Roehl said everyone from infants to seniors have gotten out on a hunt, adding that most geocachers are between 30 and 50 years old.
Although Elholm acknowledged that the activity draws people to the Washington County parks, he said county officials neither support nor discourage geocaching.
"As long as people are being respectful and not damaging the environment, then we're OK with it," Elholm said.
For the most part, Roehl said, those who seek out the caches take great care not to disturb the environment. The Minnesota Geocaching Association even has a "cache in, trash out" policy that asks participants to gather debris in trash bags as they leave a public area.
"We're very good at self-policing," he said. "We do our best to work with park departments."
Just as the county's park policies had to be redrawn with the advent of Rollerblades and studded tracks on snowmobiles, park officials had to respond to geocaching, Parks Manager and Stillwater Councilman Mike Polehna said.
"Things are evolving all the time," he said. "We're always trying to adjust to the needs of the people."
The activity gets people to enjoy the parks, Polehna said, and has been around for several years.
"There's a lot of people that are into it," he said, noting that park officials haven't heard too many problems about the geocachers.
The caches can be anything from a piece of paper to a sign to a collection of baseball cards. They're listed by degree of difficulty from one to five, with five being the toughest to find and sometimes requiring a boat or rock-climbing equipment, Roehl said. But the average cache takes only 10 or 15 minutes to find.
One inventive cache Roehl heard about was a rubber arm attached to a container hidden in the stump of a rotting tree. It was called the "pull my finger" cache.
Strapping on his in-line skates at Pine Point Park Wednesday, Stillwater resident Matt McGuire said he'd heard of geocaching, but never participated.
"I think that'd be pretty cool," he said.
McGuire remembers when people would engage in orienteering, finding flags in parks and wooded areas using compasses.
"It would definitely be cool with the new technology," he said.
If not for geocaching, Roehl said he would never have visited some of Minnesota's more remote areas, such as the Iron Range. Some people try out geocaching once and never do it again, he said, while others are hooked.
"There are some people, like me, who are hopelessly addicted," Roehl said.
Sad state of affairs.

Hello people
I'm really a beginner but I like new adventures.
I have a HP Elitebook 8540w where I'm trying to use BT5 in persistent mode.
I followed the wiki using Unetbootin with a 8 Gb pendrive but the boot always goes on hold for a while and finishes with a busy box shell
I tried the same with the SD card reader with 16 Gb SD and it happens the same
The same USB Pen drive and SD in a older laptop are perfectly working !!!
I tried to boot from the DVD and it works perfectly but not in persistent mode and the boot is very slow.
If I boot from SD or from USB Pen drive with the Live DVD inserted, the boot hangs for a while and than continues from the DVD successfully..
I tried to install BT5 on the SD but I end with a Grub error out of disk because grub2 in not capable to recognise the SD mmcblk0 at boot.
here is a print of the partition on the SD:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 16.3 GB, 16288579584 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1980 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00078649
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 * 1 1892 15191040 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1892 1981 712705 5 Extended
/dev/mmcblk0p5 1892 1981 712704 82 Linux swap / Solaris
At the end I only need to have a live persistent BT working but i cannot manage on this laptop.
I tried with BT3,BT4,BT4R2 and BT5 always with the same result
Other laptop or desktop are OK without troubles.
Is there anyone that can give me a suggestion ?

No matter which facility you decide on, make your wishes clear in your will and designate a genealogy buddy as your family history executor. You can't expect a repository to take everything you've collected over the decades, so include instructions for that person to weed through your papers to separate what can be pitched from what should stay. Or better yet, get organized now, while you have a say in the matter (our book How to Archive Family Keepsakes and our Organize Your Genealogy Life! CD can help with this).

More than a dozen criminal cases that could ultimately be dismissed in 3rd District Court because of unspecified evidentiary problems provide a glimpse into the drug war being played out on Salt Lake County streets.
Most of the 19 cases involve defendants caught with varying amounts of illegal drugs, or who were suspected of dealing drugs. In at least 14 of them, West Valley City detective Shaun Cowley played an active role in the investigations.
Cowley likely is the police officer to whom Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill was referring when he moved to dismiss the 19 cases as part of an ongoing investigation into a West Valley City police officer. Gill, who didn't identify Cowley, said he took that unusual step because "we no longer believe we have sufficient credible evidence with which to obtain a conviction."
While Gill didn't identify Cowley, the veteran officer was named as central to those 19 cases by Melissa Kennedy, whose daughter, Danielle Willard, was shot and killed by Cowley and another officer after an alleged drug deal on Nov. 2, 2012.
And the Utah Fraternal Order of Police, responding to a media report identifying Cowley as the officer involved in the 19 cases, said it was confident he would be exonerated.
A review of the dismissed cases, which were filed between 2009 and 2012, shows Cowley used confidential informants and sometimes worked alone on drug cases. In some of them, evidence Cowley said he obtained during the investigations was instrumental in charges being filed.
In one case from January 2012, documents describe Cowley's pursuit of Cristian Barrera-Barron, a suspected drug dealer. The car chase ended in a dead-end street in West Valley City, where the suspect began fleeing on foot. Cowley reported he found 3.4 grams of heroin in Barrera-Barron's front seat and on the floor of his car while other officers pursued the suspect.
In another case, Cowley approached a car after suspecting that the man inside, Noe Guadalupe-Hernandez, had purchased drugs from a confidential informant. The man tried to swallow small balloons full of heroin upon seeing Cowley and began hitting the detective when Cowley tried to get Hernandez to stop, court documents state.
Another detective used a stun gun on the suspect, who spit out some of the balloons. Cowley then deployed his own stun gun on Hernandez, causing him to spit out more drugs.
A handful of the 19 cases include co-defendants who already had been adjudicated before the dismissal motions were filed.
In one case filed in 2011, police targeted suspected drug dealers Cody Butts and Ignacio Zepeda-Guadarrama. According to court documents, a West Valley City officer watched what appeared to be a drug buy between the two men in a car in September 2010. When officers tried to pull over the vehicle, a high-speed chase ensued.
When the vehicle eventually stopped in the middle of an intersection, Zapeda-Guadarrama and Butts fled on foot before police caught them. Officers reportedly found 26 balloons of heroin in the car, along with cocaine, a pellet gun and a machete. Zapeda-Guadarrama's 2011 case is among the 19 being dismissed. Butts wasn't so lucky; he took a plea bargain and spent six months in jail.
Court documents do not explain Cowley's role in that case; the arrest report was written by Officer David Jenson.
The fact that so many of the defendants in the 19 dismissed cases have Latino surnames worries community activists fearful of racial profiling. In a news conference Friday, the Utah Coalition of La Raza (UCLR) and Proyecto Latino de Utah called on the feds to also investigate the unusual mass case dismissal.
Tony Yapias, of Proyecto Latino de Utah, said he has contacted the U.S. Department of Justice in Denver and intends to contact other federal agencies, including the FBI.
"People are afraid, afraid of what's going to happen to them," Yapias said at the news conference. He said he has been in touch with at least one woman who until this week had been facing two felony-level drug charges and a misdemeanor count of providing false information to a police officer. "She says, 'I didn't do anything.' "
Yapias stressed that he does not know the facts of the cases beyond what's revealed in the charges and is not accusing anyone of racial profiling at this point. But Latinos are incarcerated at nearly double the rate of whites, according to a 2007 study.

New theater makes headquarters a memorable place
Backlit polycarbonate wall panels and cobalt blue-painted gypsum line the theater's side walls, which are just off parallel to improve sound quality in the space. Subwoofers are located below the seats. (larger image)
Blue Room Theater at Chesapeake Energy
LOCATION: Oklahoma City, OK
AV BUDGET: Under $1 Million
Webinar: Aug. 20
Quotes form the Judges:
"It's one of those projects that you don't really see a distinction between where architecture starts and technology ends, or vice versa. This is a space that you can either go there and look at whatever is there, or you can go there and enjoy what's happening to you."
"It's so unusual and so well presented. If you're talking about architecture and AV integration, this is a perfect example."

By C.C. Sullivan
In the pursuit of creativity and bringing his company to the forefront of technology, Aubrey McClendon saw blue. The color represented clear skies ahead and the blue flame of natural gas, the source of his company's wealth. McClendon is CEO of Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. It also signified the importance of a new meeting space added as an afterthought to the sub-basement of the company's new, five-story headquarters facility.
With the help of a favored architect and a team of engineers and audiovisual experts, McClendon created what would become known as the Blue Room Theater.
Part human resources tool, part conference facility, and part recreation room, the cobalt-walled meeting space serves McClendon's desire to project a strong, dynamic image for Chesapeake Energy, helping to attract the next generation of business and scientific experts so critical to his company's success. "One thing very high on Aubrey McClendon's list is recruiting," explains Rand Elliott, principal of Elliott + Associates Architects, Oklahoma City. "It's important to him to encourage and excite people as to what the company is all about."
Improvisation and flexibility were key to bringing McClendon's vision to life. The project team had already completed construction documents for the headquarters office building when the directive came in: Add a big meeting space to the program.
And not just any old meeting room: The Blue Room Theater, featuring leading-edge multimedia technology and theatrical systems, produces a memorable sensory experience by means of blue ambient lighting and backlit polycarbonate sidewalls. "The room literally glows," says Elliott. "There are many lighting scenes which give the room multiple personalities: scenes for showing movies, for educational purposes, and for videoconferencing and teleconferencing," as well as visitor lectures and after-hours employee programs.
The overarching aim of the Blue Room Theater, however, is to relax its occupants while impressing them with the sophistication of the sub-basement space.
A variety of lighting scenes and media technologies lend flexibility—and multiple personalities—to the small theater, which hosts movies, lectures, training sessions, and videoconference and teleconference meetings. (larger image)
Carving Out a Space—and a BudgetWorking with a budget of just under $1 million, the project team first addressed how to carve out a double-height space from the planned cast-in-place concrete frame by adding large steel transfer beams just below the first-floor level and excavating outward under the corporate campus lawns, says Bill Yen, senior associate with Elliott + Associates. "One of the transfer beams runs down the middle of the space, so the projector system actually had to be installed off-center," says Yen. "And to improve the acoustics, the side walls are not really parallel, though they appear to be."
Another acoustical challenge was dealing with the hard polycarbonate and gypsum walls enclosing the theater. The interiors concept is suggestive of the geological formations that Chesapeake Energy's scientists study every day, and the installation demanded close attention to such effects as reverberation and echo. "We used a computer model to study the room, and we focused primarily on the ceiling and back wall designs," says Walid Tikriti, the acoustical consultant with Acoustonica LLC, Dallas. A blue carpet and other soft surfaces help improve the dynamics.
The resulting space is remarkably quiet, thanks in part to a simple but virtually noiseless cooling system using CO2 sensors to monitor demand. "The system is designed to handle varying occupant loads, and they can just go in and just have an event without having to precool the space," says Brian Determan, principal and mechanical engineer with Determan Scheirman Engineering, Oklahoma City. Though the sub-basement location is ideal for maintaining ambient temperatures, it also created challenges in terms of routing ductwork and for supply and return air. "A bit of the return air comes through the side lighting panels, and the bulk of return air is taken up right near the stage, so we are supplying high and returning low," he adds.
The creation of the Blue Room Theater at Chesapeake was driven by a desire to be at the forefront of technology. The 3-year design and development process culminated with a high-end, cutting-edge facility. (larger image)
Diversity of UsesFurther challenging the budget and the team's integration abilities was the desire for a diverse schedule of uses for the Blue Room. In addition to the implied functionality, McClendon and Elliott both envisioned a room in which all the audiovisual technology would be hidden—in the architect's words, with "no funky gizmos on the ceiling."
"The thing that makes the project challenging is integrating the technology so that no one will notice," says Rob Rogers, principal of AVD Audio\Video Designs Inc., Moore, OK. Rogers sourced recessed speakers, which included subwoofers under chairs, large speakers behind the perforated main display screen, and distributed public-address speakers in coves detailed throughout the Blue Room.
Another big hurdle for Rogers's team was finding a multiple-input display system that could support the required range of signals and flawlessly integrate and switch between sources—all with first-rate display quality. Working with videographic designer RGB Spectrum, Rogers specified a multimedia display processor that could show up to 12 separate images on the same screen from as many as 36 switched inputs, including basic business presentations, spreadsheets, and engineering drawings.
Flatscreen displays and polycarbonate-clad columns flank the super-mod entrance to the Blue Room Theater. The design of the multimedia space, added as an afterthought to a corporate headquarters building, is meant to relax occupants and suggest cool sophistication and intrigue. (larger image)
An energy-efficient, mood-altering lighting system—designed with Smith Lighting, Oklahoma City—lends the space its cosmopolitan, distinctive ambience. Simple fluorescent fixtures on dimmers illuminate the polycarbonate side walls, and color-changing LEDs cast a glow from acoustical acrylic panels at the stage and the back wall. Overhead, blue and white low-voltage track lights add a visible sparkle to various lighting presets.
Despite the challenges of constrained budget, space, and scheduling in the construction process, careful team coordination and frequent communications helped pave a smooth road to completion.
"Literally, the building was under construction when we did this project. The architectural concept came first, but then we immediately brought in Rob [Rogers] and asked him what do we have to do to accomplish these things," says Elliott. "The Blue Room was one of the surprise projects for us. And now people who enter this subterranean environment are completely taken aback, too."

A Far-Reaching Law Complicates EU Chemicals M&A
By Jacob Plieth and Alessandro Pasetti
Life for bankers working on small and medium company M&A in the European chemicals sector will this year become more complex, due to an under-appreciated piece of EU law that demands the registration of thousands of chemical components by December.
But there is no single document to prove compliance. How, then, does a banker working on a transaction or a simple joint venture ensure that the target company fulfills its obligations?

Zach Brown Scouting Report

2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina
Brown has a ton of experience, having played sparingly as a freshman before starting six games at weakside linebacker in 2009. His physical assets are not particularly impressive (he stands at 6'2'' and 230 pounds), but he makes up for any size deficiencies with speed. A member of the track team, Brown set a school record in the indoor 60-meter dash last season and he has been clocked as fast as 4.40 in the 40-yard dash. That is almost unheard of quickness for a linebacker. Furthermore, he is very strong despite his relative lack of build and is a sound tackler. He will be best at outside linebacker in a 4-3 scheme. Brown should be a first-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

the game videos i saw: he looked hesitant to ingage on lateral plays. Wonder if he could be converted to SS where the play is always in front of him
anne hutchinson 02/16/12 10:04 AM
He's a track guy, not an instinctual LB. He has bust written all over him.
seanrock 01/19/12 04:16 AM
1st Round: With his ability to move sideline to sideline and being absolutely fearless against the run game, Mr. Brown will be a great pick in the middle of the 1st round. With his speed and ability to cover, I look for the Raiders to take a long look at him. He has "Raiders Speed".

The Delta LT Jacket is a true essential. One of the most versatile fleece jackets Arc'teryx has ever designed, it layers easily under a hardshell and delivers effective warmth for little weight. Made from Polartec® Classic 100 micro velour small grid, the Delta LT is highly air permeable, dries quickly and packs small. As a standalone, the jacket adds light insulation most suitable for higher output in cool conditions or to cut a summer evening temperature drop. Under a shell, it works as a lightweight midlayer.
Arc'teryx places a premium on motion. Ergonomic fit is an important detail that may not be immediately visible but makes a significant difference in overall performance and comfort. This freedom is the result of carefully planned and patterned ergonomic articulation designed to move as the body moves. The Delta LT's Trim fit stays close to the body allowing it to work more efficiently under shell layers. Articulation prevents the sleeves from riding up when the arm is bent, and gussets under the arms make it easier to extend reach.
The design is simple. The Delta LT has two hand pockets that zip closed to securely stow small items. A small, low profile laminated zippered sleeve pocket is easily accessed while wearing a pack or harness. The full front zip uses a nonlocking slider allowing it to be unzipped with a single hand for instantaneous heat dump, and the high collar seals in warmth and layers easily under a shell. A slight drop hem adds coverage.

Hi Aaron-
Hugely appreciated (hope this works!). Quick follow-up for you:
Okay so it says "Bridge with" (When you click "(assign)" and you click on the new VLAN interface)
... In my case since the VLAN's are configured on the LAN interface, would I need to specify any
bridge at all? It gives me the option of "none", "WAN" and "LAN"...
Thanks again,

"VLANs". In the VLANs tab is where they are first created. Add a VID and a
host interface, LAN in your case. Then go back to the Interface assignments
tab. Add an interface, virtual of course, and choose the VID from the drop
down list. Assuming you will be using the m0n0wall for a gateway on each
VLAN, go to the interface name (Interfaces on main menu at left) and
configure the host address and CIDR value. After a reboot the interface can
be used just as any other.
So far I have 8 VIDs configured on my box. But I may have the need to go
way higher. If you are setting up a lot, just create the VLAN all at once,
assign the interfaces all at once, and so on. You may want to create one or
two to practice and make sure I didn't miss any steps (I'd never do that.
Would I? Jokes).
Any questions, let me know.

I know m0n0 can work with VID's from 1-4094. What is the most VID's

Thanks for everyone's input.

Koala International Youth Hostel
The Huangshan area includes two famous world heritage sights -Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui, Xidi and Hongcunand famous Mount Huangshan.
Mount Huangshan - It is said that you won't want to visit any other mountains after seeing it but you won't wish to see even when you are returning from Mt. Huangshan. This saying may give you some idea of the beauty and uniqueness of Mt. Huangshan. Together with the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Great Wall, Mt. Huangshan has become one of the great symbols of China. Mt. Huangshan can boast not only of its magnificence but also its abundant resources and great variety of zoological species, for which it has been listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site.
Ancient Villages- The two traditional villages of Xidi and Hongcun preserve to a remarkable extent the appearance of non-urban settlements of a type that largely disappeared or was transformed during the last century. Their street plan, their architecture and decoration, and the integration of houses with comprehensive water systems are unique to the area.
Huangshan International Youth Hostel is well located east of the train station along Beihai Road. It is about 200m from the railway station. If you come here by bus; we would like to tell you that you should buy the tickets to Tunxi -the city of Huangshan.
There is an internet cafe, lobby cafe, English-speaking staff, washing machine and much graffiti all around. Every morning there's a bus to go to Mount Huangshan from the gate of the youth hostel, also we can help you book the hotel in the mountain, and it is cheaper than just do it by yourself. Telling you how to make your trip happy is our pleasure. Our super friendly staff are always ready to help for anything you need, (including bus and trains timetables), recommendations on where to go and what to do。We offer 24-hour check-in and security, although the main check-in time is between 12 AM and 12 PM. Please let us know if you have to arrive at a different time. We have individual lockers in the rooms. Combining our outgoing attitude and cozy setting, we managed to create relaxing, home-like atmosphere. We offer everything you might need during your holidays; every thing you need from tours, like restaurants, internet, and laundry service to tours is fine in our hostel.
Stay as long as you want, we guarantee your stay to be a joyful one.

Lookee What We Found in the Compost!
You know it's a good day in the compost pile when this little fella is making his home in your homemade dirt. Can you see him? He's the curvy-looking stick. 🙂
It means nice, damp conditions. It means nutrients. It means this compost will be AWESOME for garden use–all of which we learned this week in our lessons (listed below). But better yet, a compost pile is just plain fun. More

Our friendly cabin crew is always on hand to ensure your child settles in comfortably. Travel stress-free.
Enter your details below and our Customer Service representative will assist you with group bookings. Please fill in all fields.
Whether you're in for a long-haul flight or just a short trip across the sky, here's a guide on how we make travelling with your baby a comfortable and stress-free experience for the both of you.
An infant or baby is a passenger who has not reached his or her second birthday. The age is taken as at the commencement of the journey. For safety reasons, air travel is not recommended for a newborn within the first eight days after birth. One adult is only allowed to carry one infant onboard.
For your convenience, Malaysia Airlines allows for an additional 10 kg of purely baby essentials (including a bassinet or carrycot) over and above the free baggage allowance as allotted to an infant's accompanying adult passenger. The combined weight of the bassinet or carrycot and baby essentials must not exceed 10 kg.
Should there be any adult items found packed together with these essentials, such items will be removed and weighted under the passenger's free baggage allowance.
A number of bassinets are provided onboard, depending on the aircraft. Due to safety and storage reasons, passengers are not allowed to carry their own bassinets into the cabin. Should you need one for your infant, reservations can be made at the time of your initial ticket purchase for a bassinet provided by Malaysia Airlines.
Since storage space is limited in the aircraft cabin, the acceptance of baby prams/strollers as cabin items will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the storage space is taken up, these items will need to be loaded in the aircraft hold.
Feeding mothers are advised to carry their choice of infant formula due to the wide variety of formula available in the market and the different preferences of infants. However, a limited quantity of baby formulae, food and essentials including napkins, bottles and brushes are provided onboard to ensure your infant's comfort throughout the journey.
Facilities for heating baby food and sterilising feeding bottles are also available on certain flights.
Subject to special conditions, incubators as provided by hospitals for babies with heart or respiratory problems are permitted on certain Malaysia Airlines flights. Should you have any queries, please contact us for further information and assistance.
For the convenience of nursing mothers, we have a Baby Changing Facility and Lactation Room at selected airports, complete with cradle, high chair, diaper-changing table, and basic toiletries such as baby soap, talcum powder and nappies.
Flying with children or arranging for their independent travel? Here is a guide on the special services we have for young flyers and how to make arrangements for them.
If your child is travelling alone, our Special Assistance Crew is on hand to provide friendly reassurance and guidance. We have special programmes for unaccompanied young passenger (UYP), which refers to a child who has reached the 5th but not the 15th birthday and is not accompanied by his/her parents, guardians or a passenger aged 18 years or more. (the conditions under which minors are permitted to travel, however, may differ based on point of departure. For this reason, we advise you to contact your nearest Malaysia Airlines office for more details).
If there is a long wait before boarding, your child is invited to relax and enjoy some light refreshments at the Malaysia Airlines Special Assistance Lounge. When it's time to board, they will be accompanied to the boarding gate and handed over to the cabin crew, who will make sure they are comfortably settled in.
On arrival, our staff will accompany your child through immigration and baggage collection, before handing your child over to the appointed guardian at the arrival gate.
Families with infants and children are invited to board the aircraft first. This allows parents more time to stow away their luggage and ensure that their kids are seated comfortably without having to worry about disturbing the flow of passengers boarding.
There's a lot to see and do on board an MH flight. Our Audio Video On Demand (AVOD) system, available on selected aircrafts, offers a selection of movies, cartoons and games that will keep your kids busy and entertained.
If you are travelling on a flight that has a meal service, our special Child's Meal (CHML) is nutritionally designed for children aged 2 to 12. The exact meal served depends on the flight sector, so do call us in advance if you would like to make a request.
Malaysia Airlines provides a Child's Play Room at selected airports. These are equipped with a television and DVD player, kid-sized writing tables, chairs, toys, comics and colouring books.

Air carrier—Certificated provider of scheduled and nonscheduled services.
Chained dollars—A method to measure real changes in dollar values between years that uses chain-type indexes, rather than constant dollars. The method first calculates the real changes between adjacent years. Annual rates of real changes are then chained (multiplied) together to obtain the rate of real changes between nonadjacent years.
Class I railroad—A freight railroad with an annual gross operating revenue indexed to a base of $250 million in 1991 dollars. In 2004, the adjusted base had increased to $289.5 million.
Commercial waterway facilities—Waterway facilities as counted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are piers, wharves, and docks. Not included are those facilities used exclusively for recreational or active military craft and generally those providing nonmaritime use.
Commuter rail—Urban/suburban passenger train service for short-distance travel between a central city and adjacent suburbs run on tracks of a traditional railroad system. Does not include heavy- or light-rail transit service.

Contracted service (purchased transportation)—Transportation service provided to a public transit agency or governmental unit from a public or private transportation provider based on a written contract.
Delay—The extra travel time (hours) spent traveling at congested speeds rather than free-fl ow speeds (60 mph on freeways and
35 mph on principal arterials) divided by the number of persons making a trip during the peak period (6:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.–7:00 p.m.).
Demand-response transit—A nonfi xed-route, nonfixedschedule form of transportation that operates in response to calls from passengers or their agents to the transit operator or dispatcher.
Directional route-miles—The sum of the mileage in each direction over which transit vehicles travel while in revenue service.

The definition of hub used here should not be confused with airline usage of the term to describe "hub-and-spoke" route structures or other definitions of hubs used by the Federal Aviation Administration, which focus on traffi c at individual airports.
Intermodal—Transportation activities involving more than one mode of transportation, including transportation connections, choices, cooperation, and coordination of various modes.
Large certificated air carrier—Carriers operating aircraft with a maximum passenger capacity of more than 60 seats or a maximum payload of more than 18,000 pounds. These carriers are also grouped by annual operating revenues: 1) majors—more than $1 billion; 2) nationals—between $100 million and $1 billion; 3) large regionals—between $20 million and $99,999,999; and 4) medium regionals—less than $20 million.

title: World’s Weirdest: Frog Father "Spits Out" Young

allowUserEmbed: True

name: World's Weirdest: Baby Toads Born from Mom's Back

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
A baby is the beginning of something special-usually dinner.
Just ask any tadpole.
These teeming and tasty treats are a favorite meal for bugs...fish...and even each other.
It's a rare, tough pollywog that grows up to crawl out of the water.
In its forest home of South America, the Darwin's frog resembles an overweight leaf.
But not all that extra weight is its own.
The male's vocal sac is reserved for another purpose...raising his young.
The female will lay three to seven eggs.
Those that hatch into tadpoles are gulped up by the father until they're ready to fend for themselves.
Inside his vocal sac, they transform into miniature versions of their old man.
It's a sheltered life...they don't get out much, but they make it out alive.

Kellogg obtained possession of the office, and in my opinion has more right to it than his competitor.
Kellogg could talk, Heaven alone knew how winningly he could talk!
Mr. Kellogg's name became familiar in every rural newspaper office in the land, and he garnered a fine fortune as his reward.
Kellogg leaned across the table, fixing him with an enthusiastic eye.
Kellogg freed himself, only to seize both Nat's hands and squeeze them violently.
surname, attested from late 13c., literally "kill hog," a name for a butcher. The U.S. cereal company began in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1906, founded by W.K. Kellogg (business manager of the Battle Creek Sanatorium) as Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company.

Osho,Sri Aurobindo declared that there is something beyond that which Buddha calls enlightenment. His whole aspiration was dedicated towards opening a door for this new step in human evolution.Osho, what could not happen with Aurobindo, is it happening with you?
Sri Aurobindo is a strange case. He knows everything about enlightenment, but he is not enlightened. He is one of the greatest scholars of this age, a genius; vast is his knowledge, but his knowing is nil. He knows about the scriptures, and he knows better than anybody else. His interpretation is profound, very logical, but heartless. It is dead; it is not coming out of his own realization.
This is one of the great problems for all seekers of truth: one can get lost in knowledge without knowing anything about the reality. He knows all the theories, all the philosophies, but he is just a blind man who knows everything about light but has not seen the light himself. And it is possible to remain in a deception for your whole life because you know so much, and people start worshipping you, people start believing you. And belief has its own psychology, if many people believe in you, you are bound to believe in yourself.
I have often told a small story about a great journalist who died and reached the doors of heaven.
The doors of heaven and hell are not far apart; they are just opposite each other. The distance is not much, and naturally one would like to enter heaven. So he knocked on the door. The doorkeeper opened a small window in the door and asked, "What do you want?"
He said, "I am a great journalist. I have just died, and I want to enter."
The doorkeeper said, "I am sorry but I have to refuse you because we have a quota; we can have only twelve journalists in heaven. That quota has been filled for centuries, for centuries no new journalist has entered. And anyway, even those twelve are utterly useless because nothing happens in heaven. They tried to publish a newspaper, but only one issue appeared because there are only saints here - no murder, no suicide, no crime, no politics, no struggle for power. No change ever happens; everything is eternally the same - from where can you get news?"
"And," the doorkeeper said, "you must have heard the definition of news: when a dog bites a man it is not news, but when a man bites a dog it is news. So nothing sensational happens here, no love affair. When people get bored, they read the first issue that was published centuries ago.
"You should go to hell. Every moment tremendous things happen there. All the active people of the world, all the creative people of the world are there: painters, musicians, poets, actors, dancers, thieves, murderers, rapists, psychoanalysts, philosophers; you will find every variety.

"Hearts Afire: The Legacy of Francis and Clare of Assisi" exhibit draws on annual pilgrimage
Reflection on Franciscan spirituality is on display in the University's McDonald Library through Dec. 12 | November 8, 2010
The exhibit "Hearts Afire: The Legacy of Francis and Clare of Assisi" on the first floor of Xavier University's McDonald Library features photographs, original paintings, textual commentaries and contemplative materials which reflect on Franciscan spirituality. The exhibit runs through Dec. 12 and is free and open to the public.
"The visitor is invited to explore the radical simplicity and single-heartedness of Christianity's beloved saints," says Gillian Ahlgren, professor of theology at Xavier. "Together they manifested the presence of God in a violent and fragmented medieval world. Francis and Clare's desire for the fullness of communion created an alternative worldview rooted in simplicity of spirit and love."
Ahlgren leads an annual pilgrimage to Assisi in June to explore the world of St. Francis and Franciscan spirituality.
The public is also invited to participate in two roundtable reflections on the Franciscan spirit for a new vista on contemporary circumstances. The roundtables are on Wednesday, Nov. 10, and Wednesday, Dec. 8. Both roundtables begin at 7:00 p.m. at the exhibit space and feature scholars, artists and pilgrims.

Download LATEST VERSION (Cirrus_1-1-5.rar): http://www.mediafire.com/?dd11kji2f6iy1sh
Download OLDER VERSION (Cirrus_1-1-2.rar): http://www.mediafire.com/?gvke2cd65ewddc5
I've done quite a bit of work on this since the last version, mainly a lot of polishing such as even spacing on all the media flags. Also have changed a few views a bit so that they are all different but retain a similar 'feel' throughout the skin. Hopefully people like it as much as I do!
I've changed the pics below to reflect the updated views...
Also, can anyone advise me about how to get this skin its own forum under "Skin Help and Support"? I think its time...
Changelog: 19-10-2010
- changed the look of fanart view so it fits in better with the rest of the skin (I must say I quite like it without the info displayed)
- Changed the look of rightlist view a bit, movies and episodes now display plot (I'm happy with these changes - views are starting to get a similar "feel" while still staying different).
- Changed rightlist from a fixedlist to a plain list
- Changed the look of Wall view a bit to fit in better with rest of skin
- Removed zoom animation from HalfWall and added a simple white border for selected
- Changed recently added yet again, now looks a lot better I think
- Changed position and size of now playing on home page so it doesn't overlay the recently added
- Moved the media scanning dialog yet again,also gave it a bit of a border so it stands out better
- Removed blank space from around media flag images to allow for better spacing
- Added much more consistent spacing to media flags
- Added diffuse to media flags on DialogFullscreenInfo (info that comes up during movie playback when you press i)
- Made the list for media flags on dialogfullscreeninfo auto size for better spacing
- Repositioned a couple of labels slightly. You probably won't even notice
- Localized a bunch more labels that were hardcoded in english (Thankyou .:B:. and GMib)
- TVLogo had a couple of hardcoded season paths so I localised that too
- improved the mp3, aac, and h.264 media flags
- reduced the size of the poster on DialogFullScreenInfo
- reduced fadetime when moving between pictures in pictures view
- fixed video info cast only showing first two actors
- added fanart view to TV Shows, Seasons, and Episodes (whew, that was hard work!)
- Split ViewsVideoLibrary.xml into separate xmls for eack view
- Updated studio flags from ccMatrix github
- Changelog: 24-09-2010
- Fixed problem where home menu background for movies and tv shows couldn't be set unless they were set to off in the home menu settings
- Changed appearance and location of recently added movies and tv shows on home screen
- TV Shows recently added apepars below movies when 'videos' is selected
- Changed location of 'media scanning' dialog (covers up top left corner but can't think of anywhere else it could go)
- Fixed missing background for DialogAddonSettings (eg. screensaver settings)
- Fixed recently added script error (note - this will now only work for dharma builds)
- Added <import addon="script.recentlyadded" version="1.0.4"/> to requires section of addon.xml
- Changed location of DialogSlider to the top (so the subtitles offset doesn't cover the subs, needs testing)
- Fixed position of window title for music files
- Changed a bunch of labels so english no longer hardcoded (note: there is still some, all of which are in custom skin settings)

Brevard, N.C. - Kortney Conner had eight kills and 11 digs on Friday evening for the Tornados, but Jamie Lancaster and Tori Calhoon each reached double digit kills as Anderson took the South Atlantic Conference match between the teams, 25-21, 25-19, 25-21.
Ashlie Morrison and Jamie Atkinson each had five kills for Brevard (2-17, 0-13 SAC), while Bethany Stevenson had 23 set assists to set up the BC attack. Sydney Yeomans led the Tornados backline with 13 digs, while Rebecca Schoonover added 12 digs. Jordei Osby led Brevard at the net with five blocks on the evening.
Lancaster led Anderson (13-8, 7-4 SAC) with 11 kills on the evening and contributed seven digs, while Calhoon had 10 kills on the match to pace the Trojans offense. Lindsay Doggett led Anderson with 31 set assists in the match, while defensively Adria Mullaney led the Trojans with 13 digs.
Brevard tied the first set up at 13 apiece on an Anderson attack error, but the Trojans jumped back out to a five point lead, going up 20-15 on a kill by Lancaster. The Tornados brought the game back to within two points as Conner placed in a kill off the assist by Stevenson, but the Trojans closed out the set on a kill by Calhoon to put Anderson up 1-0.
The Tornados opened up the second set by scoring the first point off an Anderson attack error, but the Trojans rallied to go up 13-9 after a BC attack error. The Tornados came back late in the set, using a 5-0 run capped off by an Osby kill to put the match at 18 apiece, but the rally fell short as Anderson closed out the set on a 7-1 run highlighted by service aces by Mullaney and Katelyn Kraft to end the set.
Brevard went up 15-11 in the third set, breaking a 10-10 tie on Stevenson's serve to give the Tornados their largest lead of the evening. Anderson rallied back by scoring the next six points behind Haley Hoover's serve, taking a 17-15 lead following a BC attack error. Brevard brought the set back to within 22-21 after a service ace by Yeomans, but a kill by Calhoon and a pair of BC attack errors closed out the match.
