(Vent mode on) What makes Travel Bugs so difficult for some people to figure out? I launched this brand new bug,
, and it was promptly snatched up a month ago and still shows as being in the cache. (Vent mode off)

Well, then go get the
Go Getters
who grabbed him....
Same thing happened to
My Bug
in November, when he was grabbed by either the 'LS Troopers' or the 'Labhunters' (depending on how you read the logs) who, when I contacted them claimed to be having computer problems.... That was in January....
I'm still waiting for someone to find him in a cache somewhere out west where he's been sitting because they never bothered to log him in....

Looks like Hopsai Harry does not have his act together. I always email them when I see something goofy with a bug. Nine times out of ten they go back and figure it out. Of course there are those out there who just like to mess with other peoples bugs too. No cure I know of for mean spirited folks, but the majority of the rest just need a little help.

yup yup yup..... I was down in that area gathering bugs for my trip and there are LOTS of messed up TBug logs and cache logs down in the Red Wing area. It was a very frustrating day to say the least.
Finding unlogged dropped bugs and going after unlogged/late logged bugs -- it's a mess.
I don't think it is done to be mean spirited..... I think there are just some cachers down there who are unaware of how to do it properly and/or in a timely manner. Some friendly geo-mail should solve the problem???
GoGetters also have
Venue Bug
taken July 12th from
Memorial Park
-- also not logged out

I sent them a friendly geo-mail and haven't had any results yet--their profile shows that they do have one bug found, so I would assume they know how the system works. And it was their own cache that they grabbed Smokey Bear from, as well. As a side note, their cache is in a really busy location, and probably requires a bit of monitoring, and they haven't logged into GC.com since 25 July. I understand how we all grab bugs with the best intentions of placing them back into circulation soon, but sometimes things come up to prevent us from going caching as often as we like--I've been just as guilty as anyone else--but at least log the bug to take it off the cache page and put it in your possession so we can at least know where it is and isn't.

Post subject: missing TBUGS
I have 2 missing now but am working with the people who last had contact with them- one excuse was they must have done something wrong in logging it-
Also, what I am finding is that when I do cache maintenance- theat when I read the logs, TBUGS were dropped off, and the people who logged the book after the TBUG was dropped off, that there is not anything in the logbook that says the TBUG was taken- and neither drop is recorded on the compter site nor does any notification get sent to me that a bug was dropped - strange!

Post subject: I'm worried about releasing my own...
After all these horror stories and seeing the caches that list bugs w/o them, I am beginning to wonder why there is such an issue?
The first time I encountered a bug (and I was unfamiliar with them), I just waited to grab it until I had a better grasp of what I was supposed to do.
I have never held onto a bug for more than a couple days and have always tried to move it in a direction it was trying to go (instead of 1 mile down the road just to log a bug find).
How often do people have lost bugs, etc? My goal is to have it visit BGSU in Ohio, Cincinnati, OH and then Clarks Summit, PA. Think it is at all possible it will actually make it that far and then back?

I think we have all had lost TBugs or TBugs taken far from their goals. (I think Towlebooth holds the local record for highest percentage of bugs lost??)
Release your bug and assume that it might be lost or misdirected..... then when it reaches it's goal say.....
Am I cynical? --- maybe
Most of us have lost and reincarnated TBugs -- it's just part of the game and you can't take it too seriously.
Out of my 27 bugs released, I have....
10 active
3 missing and not yet reincarnated
4 reincarnated (or cloned) and re-released
2 are personal TBugs I gave to friends
The rest are stalled or being held or possibly missing (I don't declare any of my bugs missing until 5-6 months stalled or a confirmed plunder - many of these may actually be MIA)
But we just keep releasing them and putting their fate to the winds..... it is an addicition, eh?
On a brighter note -- I have 3 TBugs who have made it past the one year anniversary mark, still active and traveling with their original tag and original item (shock!) My son
just got back one of his first TBugs that was out in the geo-world for 16 months, never made it to it's original goal, but it did come home safely!
My advice to you to keep your TBug moving along, is to place specific instructions on a tag or an information sheet with your TBug, put it all inside a ziploc and write the name of the TBug and it's goal. Really, it does help to put as much information as possible with your bug (plus you need a geo-nickel
on there for good luck and safe journeys - LOL - ask anyone!)
Don't be worried about releasing your bugs, they are lots of fun to track, you get to see all sorts of different caches and "meet" interesting people! Just don't set your standard or your expectations so high that you get upset when things don't go *exactly* as you had hoped or expected, the adventure is part of the fun.

Yup, out of the 4 bugs that I have started there is only one left that may still be active, and it's in a cache that is so hard that no one is trying to get to it. And guess what, it's in North Carolina, so I guess there won't be too much activity until the hurricane dies.
They still are fun to watch and track. Some of the very first ones that I found have been to some amazing places in the world. It's all fun, Eh! JK

14 launched so far, and 5 in the graveyard, and I think the one that prompted me to start this thread might join them. They did finally log the bug into their possession, and it hasn't done anything since. I can understand going to a cache and seeing your first bug and having some ignorance as to what needs to be done, but going to your own cache to grab a bug that shows up, and then holding the poor thing hostage for months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????

This is the typical email I send people when they've had one of my or Perrine's bugs for quite a while--
Hi--in reference to my wife's TRAVEL bug, Koochie-Koochie-Koo--it's web page shows that you picked it up nearly a year ago, and it hasn't TRAVELLED since. I understand that things come up to prevent us from geocaching as often as we like, and that is probably why you still have this travel bug. We would just like to know the status of the bug, and would like to know if you intend to place it in a cache soon. Also, if you have no intention of placing the bug in a cache so it can continue to travel, I will be happy to send you my snail-mail address so you can send it back to me so I can get it moving again. Thank you for your attention--15Tango

Welcome to my world!!!
Take how many times you have been skunked for 50 bugs and multiply it for 600 bugs...... it is part of the game (grin)
I really don't mind being skunked fair and square and I usually get a good laugh out of it when I see who it was, but when you get skunked by a non-logger or bug-napper it is VERY frustrating.

Kitch- Ive read all about your problems on the cache page @ gc.com.
TMI, in my opinion. I feel you should use a private email to deal with someone you are not happy with. Its a courtesy some might expect before being ripped publicly on the cache page-
Kitch has logged a cache on your watch list (Reservoir Woods Bug
Hotel). You can visit the cache at the following link:
So this person was online that day, and posted something else rather than log his visit? I understand your frustration with the situation, but I feel that its nasty to post all your problems to the GC.com cache page.
Forums like this board are a more appropriate place to post your concerns, gripes or to blow of steam., etc. Or also the GC.com forum, etc. I think its a more appropriate forum of discussion than a cache page post. In the end, it was what, 4 days before he posted the TB grab?
Theres always another day, right? Im sure a new bug will appear soon, and you can return again to claim glorious #50.
Most people use GC.com, but not so many use the Forums. Some people, especially new comers could get a bad impression of geo caching - or worse yet, give you a bad reputation among other geo-cachers. People who visit the Forums can read more into a topic that is posted- (as I have done here) and give thier opinions as they feel appropriate. But not all cachers are Forum readers, and may like to avoid this type of thing altogether.
This is purely my opinion, and I do NOT claim to be an expert- but
Freindliness, repect, common courtesy - call it whatever you like
should be something people can expect from fellow geocachers.

Tornados Score Win Over Newberry, 74-68
Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College men's basketball team scored their first win over a South Atlantic Conference opponent on Wednesday night, defeating the Indians of Newberry at home on "Black Out" Night, 74-68.
The Tornados controlled the pace of the game from start to finish, executing their offense both effectively and efficiently, shooting a season-high 54.2 percent from the field for the game.
After Newberry hit the first basket of the game to take a 2-0 lead, the Tornados answered on the next possession to tie the score up at 2-2, three minutes into the game.
The two teams traded baskets for the majority of the first half, with neither team able to pull away from the other. The Tornados pushed their lead to five at 21-16 on a made free throw by Radosav Babic at the 4:45 mark, their biggest lead to that point.
The Indians answered with a 7-2 run of their own over the next two minutes to knot the score up at 23-23, the fifth time in the first 20 minutes of play.
Yet the Tornados did not give in and finished the half with a 5-0 run to take a 28-23 lead into the halftime break.
In the opening minutes of the second half, again both teams went back-and-forth with the each one answering the other on both ends of the floor. However, the Indians battled back to tie the score for the sixth time of the contest at 35-35, with 14:54 remaining in the contest.
The two teams would tie the score up again only a minute later at 37-37 before the Indians took a two point lead on a jumper by Cory Etheridge, their first lead in the second half.
However, BC answered with a three-pointer by sophomore Andrew Freeman to take a 40-39 lead at the 12:16 mark.
In the final 12 minutes of play, the Tornados controlled the game outscoring the Indians 34-28, and made key plays down the stretch to seal their first win over a SAC opponent this season.
After pushing their lead to 12 points at the 4:50 mark, the Indians cut the BC lead down to five points with 2:45 to play.
Clutch free throw shooting down the stretch by the Tornados sealed the win, hitting 11-of-16 foul shots in the final three minutes of regulation, headlined by point guard Cody Siniard who hit seven shots from the charity stripe.
The Tornados held on for the 74-68 win over the Newberry Indians.
Brevard was led by junior forward Joseph Chilton, who finished the game with a season-high 24 points, connecting on 10-of-12 shots from the floor. Siniard added 12 points, hitting 9-of-13 free throws in the game, while fellow sophomores Jonathan Whitson and Andrew Freeman had 11 points apiece. Junior sharp-shooter Radosav Babic had 10 points of the bench for the Tornados in only nine minutes of action.
Whitson had 11 rebounds to go along with his 11 points, recording his seventh double-double of the season.
Newberry had three players in double-digits scoring, headlined by Ty Overmyer's 14 points off the bench. Preseason all-conference selection Clemente Martin had 13 points to go along with his 11 rebounds, while Stephane Bakinde had 11 points.
The Tornados (4-23) will wrap up their 2007-08 season on Saturday, March 1, when they will play host to Catawba College in their season finale. The tip-off is slated for 4 p.m.

Ordinance No. 1200 (pdf 50kb)
Section 1. A new Section 10.54.100 is hereby added to Chapter 10.54 of the Sausalito Municipal Code to read as follows:
"10.54.100 Time Limits For Construction.
A. Purposes. The purpose of this ordinance is to regulate the duration of construction projects in order to avoid negative impacts on the City resulting from lengthy construction activities. Such negative impacts include detrimental effects of lengthy construction on residential neighborhoods, such as construction noise and increased traffic, reduction in available parking, and the presence of portable toilets. In addition to the general purposes of this Section 10.54.100, the City has adopted this Section 10.54.100 because:
1. A continuous stream of large numbers of construction projects on private properties within the City for many years past has resulted in substantial and continuing adverse impacts on the City and its residents from construction activities;
2. Among those adverse impacts are long-term noise disturbances to neighbors of the construction projects, loss of already inadequate on-street parking due to the presence of large numbers of construction vehicles, and frequent closures of the City's narrow streets for construction deliveries and staging, which closures hinder and/or eliminate local and emergency access for varying periods of time;
3. Numerous private individual large-scale projects have been designed and built in the City involving construction for many years, thus prolonging the adverse construction impacts created by those projects;
4. It is in the interests of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Sausalito to place a reasonable time limit on the duration of each construction project, so as to balance the needs of the project site property owner with those of nearby residents and the community generally in the safe and peaceful enjoyment of their properties;
5. The time limits adopted in this Section 10.54.100 allow an adequate and reasonable amount of time for the kinds of construction projects undertaken in the City; and
6. Substantial penalties should be imposed upon persons who violate the time limits imposed pursuant to this Section 10.54.100, so as to encourage compliance with such time limits and achieve the purposes of this Section 10.54.100.
B. Construction Time Limit Required. As part of any application for a construction permit for a project which obtained a design review permit, obtained an amendment of an existing design review permit, or should have obtained a design review permit (including, without limitation, any such application with respect to improvements that have been constructed without or in violation of an existing valid design review permit, or administrative design review permits for the purposes of this Section 10.54.100), the applicant shall file a reasonable estimate of the value of the project, and based thereon, a construction time limit shall be established for the project in accordance with the criteria set forth in subsection C below. The applicant shall submit information reasonably requested by the Community Development Director to support the estimated value of the project such documentation may include without limitation an executed construction contract. Compliance with such time limit shall become a condition of the design review permit. The time for completion of the construction shall also be indicated on the construction permit. For projects exceeding $500,000 in project valuation, a detailed GANTT chart (or other graphic display acceptable to the Community Development Director) depicting the sequence of steps necessary for completion of the project, including detailed information on the critical path of the project, duration of critical tasks, and predicted inspection dates, shall be submitted prior to the issuance of any construction permit. Once approved, the property owner shall provide the City with written quarterly job progress reports consistent with the approved chart.
C. Construction Time Limit. Except where a longer time period is approved pursuant to subsection D below, the maximum time for completion of approved alterations, additions, modifications, repairs, or new construction, following issuance of the construction permit, shall not exceed the following limits. These limits are not altered or extended by work delays or stoppages due to the enforcement actions resulting from violation(s) of the Municipal Code.
Estimated Value of Project
Construction Time Limit*
$0 to $500,000
18 months
$500,001 to $1,000,000
24 months
Greater than $1,000,000
30 months
* For landscaping work (including retaining walls and grading) approved as part of the construction project, the applicant shall have an additional ninety (90) days to complete the landscaping work after final building inspection approval or issuance of an occupancy permit (whichever occurs later) for the main construction project. This additional ninety (90) days shall not apply to construction projects solely comprised of landscaping.
D. Construction Time Limit Extension.
1. a. Construction Activities. Prior to or following the commencement of construction an applicant may apply for one or more extension(s) of the established construction time limit; provided, however in no event shall any single extension granted exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, nor shall the total extension(s) granted exceed the following:
Construction Time Limit Extension
270 days
360 days
b. Landscaping Activities. For landscaping work (including retaining walls and grading) approved as part of the construction project, the applicant may apply for an extension not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond the ninety (90)-day landscaping time limit specified in subsection C above. Such application shall be filed prior to the expiration of the 90-day time limit and shall be considered by the Community Development Director, who shall have the authority to grant said extension only if, in his or her opinion, such extension beyond the 90-day landscaping time limit is warranted because of delays caused by inclement weather or circumstances beyond the property owner's control.
2. Application Contents. An application for an extension of the construction time limit shall be accompanied by complete working drawings for the construction, a written explanation of the reasons for the requested extension, and a fee as established by resolution of the City Council.
3. Public Hearing and Notice. Within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of a complete application for an extension in accordance with subsection D.1.a above, the Zoning Administrator shall hold a public hearing on the said application. The Zoning Administrator may obtain input from the Building Inspector and the City Engineer.
4. Findings. The Zoning Administrator may grant an extension if the following findings can be made:
a. Such extension will not have a material deleterious effect on the neighborhood in which the project is located; and
b. Any one or more of the following factors is present and presents an unusual and substantial obstacle to complying with the standard construction time limit:
i. Site topography;
ii. Site access;
iii. Geologic issues;
iv. Neighborhood considerations;
v. Weather-related grading restrictions; or
vi. Other unusual factors (except lack of financing).
5. Conditions of Approval. The Zoning Administrator may apply reasonable conditions of approval deemed necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Section 10.54.100.
5. Notice of Decision. The decision of the Zoning Administrator shall be in the form of a written resolution and shall include the findings upon which the decision is based, applicable conditions of approval, and a summary of the appeal process. A written decision shall be mailed to the applicant and all parties who participated in the process via oral or written comments.
6. Appeals. The decision of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed to the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures of Chapter 10.84.
E. Penalties.
1. If a property owner fails to complete construction by the applicable time limit established in this Section 10.54.100, the property owner shall be subject to the following penalties payable to the City:
Period of Time That Project Remains Incomplete Beyond Applicable Time Limit
First 60 days
$400 per day (i.e., $24,000 maximum penalty applicable to this 60-day period)
61st through 120th day
$600 per day (i.e., $36,000 maximum penalty applicable to this 60-day period)
121st day and every day thereafter
$800 per day (to a maximum of the lesser of 20% of project value or $200,000)
2. Penalties, fees and costs due to the City pursuant to this subsection E are due each day as the penalties accrue.
F. Deposits.
1. Upon reaching the time limits set out in subsections C and D, if construction has not been completed, or if no final inspection has been made or a certificate of occupancy issued, the property owner or his representative shall deliver to the Community Development Department a refundable deposit (in cash or other security instrument acceptable to the City and valid for a minimum time period of two (2) years) in the amount of Twenty Four Thousand Dollars ($24,000), plus a non-refundable administrative fee as established by resolution of the City Council.
2. If no deposit is made as provided in subsection F.1 above, the building official shall issue a stop work order.
3. On or before the sixtieth (60th) day that the project has remained incomplete, and no final inspection has been made and no certificate of occupancy issued, the property owner or his representative shall deliver to the Community Development Department an additional refundable deposit (in cash or other security instrument acceptable to the City and valid for a minimum time period of two (2) years) in the amount of Thirty Six Thousand Dollars ($36,000), plus a non-refundable administrative fee as established by resolution of the City Council.
4. If no deposit is made as provided in subsection F.3 above, the building official shall issue a stop work order.
5. On or before the one hundred twentieth (120th) day that the project has remained incomplete, and no final inspection has been made and no certificate of occupancy issued, the property owner or his representative shall deliver to the Community Development Department an additional refundable deposit (in cash or other security instrument acceptable to the City and valid for a minimum time period of two years) in the amount of One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($140,000), plus a non-refundable administrative fee as established by resolution of the City Council.
6. If no deposit is made as provided in subsection F.5 above, the building official shall issue a stop work order.
7. If the property owner fails to complete construction by the applicable time limit, the applicable penalties shall accrue daily up to the maximum set out in subsection E.
8. If the property owner believes that the failure to meet the applicable time limit was caused by circumstances beyond the property owner's control, the property owner may file a written statement to that effect with the Community Development Director at the time of making the deposit as described in subsections F.1, 3 and/or 5 above and provide any documentation substantiating such grounds of appeal and the effect on the construction. If the property owner makes such filing, no part of the deposit cash or other security instrument shall be forfeited to the City if construction is completed within thirty (30) days of the deposit. If construction is completed after the thirty (30) days and the Community Development Director concurs with the property owner's statement as to the cause of the failure to meet the deadline, the Community Development Director shall waive the penalty and return the cash deposit or other security instrument to the property owner. If the Community Development Director does not concur with the property owner's statement, such statement shall be treated as an appeal under subsection G below and all the provisions of that subsection shall apply. As used in this Section 10.54.100, the term "circumstances beyond the property owner's control" shall mean events outside the property owner's reasonable control that are not caused by the property owner's willful or unlawful misconduct or gross negligence (or that of the property owner's contractor or subcontractors), such as acts of God, earthquake, labor disputes that are not caused, directly or indirectly by the property owner or the property owner's contractor or subcontractors, shortages of supplies, riots, war, acts of terrorism, fire, epidemics, or delays of common carriers. A failure of a lender to make or fund a loan commitment shall not be deemed to be a "circumstances beyond the property owner's control."
9. If construction is completed after the applicable time limit, and the Community Development Director does not concur with the property owner's statement pursuant to subsection F.8, the City shall draw on the deposit or other security instrument in the amount of the applicable penalties; provided, however, that in the event of an appeal, the City shall not draw on the deposit or other security instrument until the Planning Commission and, if applicable, the City Council has rendered its decision as set forth in subsection G.
10. After construction is completed and all applicable penalties received by the City, any remaining cash or security instrument deposit shall be refunded or returned to the account of the property owner.
G. Appeals.
1. A penalty imposed pursuant to subsections B through F may be appealed to the Planning Commission on the grounds that the property owner was unable to comply with the applicable time limit as a result of circumstances beyond the property owner's control. There shall be no right to appeal until construction is completed. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Planning Commission on the appeal may appeal to the City Council in accordance with the procedures of Chapter 10.84.
2. At the time the appeal is filed or within two (2) weeks thereafter, the appellant shall submit documentary and other evidence sufficient to establish that design decisions, construction drawings and documents, bids and construction contracts, permit applications, and compliance with all required permit conditions were undertaken in a diligent and timely manner. Documentary evidence shall include, but not be limited to, dated design contracts, date-stamped plans, dated construction contracts and material orders, and proof of timely payment of any deposits or fees required pursuant to any of the foregoing items. The documentary and other evidence shall demonstrate that construction delays resulted from circumstances beyond the property owner's control and despite diligent and clearly documented efforts to achieve construction completion within the applicable time limit. Penalties imposed pursuant to this Section 10.54.100 shall not be modified or cancelled unless all evidence required by this subsection G.2 is submitted at the time of appeal.
H. Enforcement.
1. This Section 10.54.100 shall apply to all construction, including all additions, alterations, modifications, repairs, and improvements, that requires a design review permit, including a design review permit for such construction undertaken before the application for the design review permit or an amended design review permit with respect to such construction previously undertaken without a design review permit or outside a previously-issued design review permit. The time limit for completion of any design review permit issued after January 1, 2009 shall be extended from the effective date of this ordinance pursuant to the time limits specified in subsections C and D.
2. Any penalty due under subsection E in excess of the deposit made under subsection F shall be a personal debt owed to the City by the property owner(s) and, in addition to all other means of enforcement and collection, shall become a lien against the said property and shall be subject to the same penalties (including interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date the lien attaches until the date of payment) and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.

Criminal Justice
Our Department's Mission
The mission of the History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science Department is to guide students toward growth in their base of knowledge in political science, history, criminal justice, and the social sciences in general, that they may have the opportunity to walk wisely, guided by the foundational purpose of this University--a Christian perspective toward faith and learning.
The purpose of the Department's majors is to ensure that students have access to the widest range of choices in career paths and academic concentrations without diluting the strength of the knowledge being imparted. The choice of majors also suggests the depth of course concentrations so that students can upon graduation choose to move forward to graduate education, professional schooling, or the job market.
Criminal Justice
Our curriculum is designed to provide you with the knowledge you need to understand the institutions of the criminal justice process — police, courts, corrections — and the administration of justice. You will acquire an understanding of the various components of the formal criminal justice process, endemic and emerging issues in criminal justice, and many of the incongruities in the justice system. Additionally, you will be taught how to critically assess some of the major controversial issues in policing, courts, corrections, and administration.
You will study criminology, victimology, political policy analysis, research methods, and other sociological tools used to measure and understand the etiology of crime, societies' response to crime, and policy issues in the administration of justice. This curriculum will lead you to reevaluate your views of justice, the criminal justice system, and society in general.

By Jake Landers
Published April 2012
Few people recognize Chittamwood. I once tried to identify a tree by telephone for a rancher. He said it was thorny and had rusty red bark where cattle had rubbed against it. By a process of elimination I suggested it might be Chittamwood, and when I saw it a few weeks later while working on a poisonous plant problem on his ranch, I found out I had guessed correctly.
Chittamwood is a small size tree that can form thickets several hundred feet across. The bark of young Chittamwood is a smooth grey, or a splotchy grey before it takes on the thin cracking and reddish brown bark of old age. Rubbing off the outer layer reveals a rusty red layer beneath, often seen where deer have rubbed their antlers, probably one of the most preferred trees for this activity.
Little piles of sawdust at the base of a tree give a hint why there are more young thickets than old trees of Chittamwood. Woodboring insects take to digging tunnels and kicking the sawdust out of the hole, producing the little piles and an early death of the tree from decay organism that follows the drilling.
Deer and goats find Chittamwood leaves very palatable. The thorny twigs can be quite vicious in a headlong plunge into a thicket to catch a goat or avoid a charging mother cow. The growth of sprouts is looser than Lotebush and less thorny with some of the trees in the center becoming 20 feet tall. Most ranchers do not consider it one of their problem species, usually tolerated because of its value to wildlife as browse and berries.
Chittamwood has tiny white clustered flowers with a sweet smell that develop black berries the size of English peas. The ripe berries are sweet but not tasty. They are the first berries in the fall to be harvested by mockingbirds. Donald Culross Peattie, a noted writer of Nature a generation ago, claimed the Comanches would make their rounds of all the Chittamwood thickets when the berries were ripe to get their share. They are easy to pick if you take your time.
Chittamwood is also known as Gum Bumelia, Woollybucket Bumelia, Woolly Bumelia, Gum Elastic, Woolly Bucketthorn, and more. Scientifically, it's named Bumelia lanuginosa, which means, literally, Woolly Bumelia. The name "Chittam" probably comes from early settlers from Europe who assumed the thorny trees of the New World were the "Shittim" trees of Biblical times from which the Ark of the Covenant was made. We know they are not the same.
Reading The Landscape
Besides laziness, what is a good explanation for the abundant growth -- when it rains -- of this weed on late winter lawns in West Texas? Click here for my answer.
Gum exudes from cracks in the bark, not enough to satisfy a baseball player to chew, but enough to entertain a small country boy. A Central American tree in the same family is a source of the gum of our chewing gum.
It is easy to identify Chittamwood from a distance in winter if you can see a profile of its upper branches. Every one that I have encountered has clusters of small branches, often called a Witches broom, caused by a reaction to Mistletoe. Apparently the tree reacts to an invasion of Mistletoe by producing hormones that increase the amount of small branches. Growth of the wood sometimes is swollen and contorted, and the Mistletoe is sickly. Apparently it is not like Mesquite and Hackberry that tolerate Mistletoe as if it just another part of the tree. Instead, I guess Chittamwood would rather put up a fight against the parasite.
The plant is London Rocket, scientifically Sisymbrium irio, which responds to abundant winter moisture and open soil, particularly on lawns that have lost the competitive grasses from drought and lack of care. It is one of the many weeds of the Mustard family that have come to us from the Old World. —JL

Winner of Time magazine's "Best Inventions" award, this is the fan that uses technology found in jet engines to generate a cooling air stream without any blades. A turbine inside the base draws in air and propels it up to the loop amplifier. Air is expelled through a 1-mm slot along the circumference of the loop amplifier and across a 16� airfoil-shaped ramp, resulting in 15X more air velocity. The fan draws air from behind and along its sides into the air stream and produces a smooth, uninterrupted stream of air, unlike typical fan blades that "chop" air into uneven, intermittent breezes. A dial allows smooth, continuous adjustment of air velocity. The fan's 5 1/2"-diameter base sets up unobtrusively on a desktop or table, it oscillates 90�, and tilts 10� up or down. 12" W x 5 1/2" D x 19 1/2" H. (4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Bladeless Fan comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Avalon - AKA Paradise. According to Arthurian legend, the town of Glastonbury in the U.K. was once known as Avalon. Avalon has long been associated with paradise. It is a land of souls. Many believe that King Arthur's soul rests there and will some day rise again to defend England.
Our wines don't cost a king's ransom, but that's exactly what our Winemaker Alex Cose used to make. We joke with him and say, "Make us a wine that tastes like $75, and then let's sell it for about $15". View all Avalon Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Beyonce Knowles' 31st Birthday: Relive Her 5 Best Music Videos
And what a year it's been for the Grammy-winning diva. Not only did she give birth to her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, she performed four sold-out shows in Atlantic City and wowed the world with a stunning rendition of "I Was Here" at the United Nations, in August.
What will the next 12 months hold for Mrs. Jay-Z? Rumor has it, she's getting ready to work on her fifth studio album. She's also still attached to star in the hotly anticipated remake of A Star Is Born, from director Clint Eastwood.
As we await to see what her next move in, Celebuzz has decided to honor Beyonce's big 3-1 by recaping her five best music videos.
Check them out, below, then be sure to with Queen B a very happy birthday in the comments.
5.) "Why Don't You Love Me"
Knowles channeled her inner-'50s housewife for this Mad Men-esque video, in which she took on the role of B.B. Homemaker. Sasha Fierce, eat your heart out.
4.) "Video Phone"
Knowles teamed up with fellow-pop star Lady Gaga for this epic, albeit bizarre, music video that was every bit as fascinating as it was nonsensical.
3.) "Crazy in Love"
It's the video for the song that launched Knowles' solo career straight into super-stardom. Between her booty shorts, red heels and opening strut, what's not to love?
2.) "Countdown"
Knowles once again went the retro route for her single "Countdown," which featured lots of colors, costume changes and admittedly killer dance moves. The kicker: She did it all while she was six months pregnant.
1.) "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"
Four years later, the video for Knowles' biggest hit still feels as memorable as it did when it first premiered. Because, well, yeah.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hotel was very quiet. Only 1 English speaking tv channel with poor reception so unwatchable. Internet access expensive and very slow. Without a car the hotel is a long way from any other restaurants and require a taxi which was expensive over a week.
the room was amazing..i loved the red shower box! the Spa is good too..the small pond outside and the view..it was all beautiful!! none
Cleanness, comfort and furniture of the rooms. Saunas and Spa. Kindness of the staff. Distance from the city.
Well-appointed and spacious rooms with cosmopolitan staff.
Easy access by car; beautiful countryside location and views; spacious communal areas; very helpful staff; clean/modern look; good breakfast and dinner experience. Unfortunately, we did not have time for the spa, but facilities looked good. Insufficient light inside the wardrobe area, the wardrobe doors block the ceiling lights. Not keen on idea of shower cubicle being part of the main room space, water splashing and some humidity inevitable. Hairdryer significantly below temperature that will dry a lady's hair properly, very time-inefficient, tiring for the arms to spend 4 times the time needed to dry hair - interestingly, the engineer who was asked to check it thought the temperature was good enough!
it was wonderfull, I wold like to come again
easy parking, good location, good wellness the restaurant services seems too rigid
Very nice hotel. Very new and stylish. Nice SPA and good breakfast. Breakfast vrey expensive! 16€ :-(
The design and look of the hotel was very attractive and appealing. The staff was very professional and helpful upon check in and with any questions we had. There was no door on the shower and it lacked a little bit of privacy in that matter, but overall not a big deal
hotel had just opened and was very well managed. there are no tea making facilities in the room
Serviciile foarte bune, amplasarea direct in centrul minunatului orasel.
Very clean
Location Price
Great location, near to city centre , buses, railway station etc... Very smart modern hotel
Hottel staff are realy excellent and helpfull! Food was also excellent. The bar is great and it is very nice to have a drink with friends!
The staff was very freindly, timely and of very high standing. The atmosphere is very business, but at the same time cozy, confortable and welcoming.
great breakfast selection.very nice room.
Good reception, newly modernized with great taste, very nice breakfast, centrally located. Some parking was available on site. Caters to business travellers and city visitors who will pay for quality.
The hotel and our room were really lovely. It was very quiet when we were there in mid-May and seemed to be used mainly as a business hotel. The breakfast was very good indeed and had everything from cereals, smoked salmon, fruits, breads, cheeses etc. You could have heard a pin drop in the room as it was so quiet. There were no tea/coffee or kettle facilities in the room. The hotel smelt quite strongly of smoke as its permitted in most hotels and their open areas, but in the room this wasn't a problem. The breakfast area is a non smoking area thank goodness. Surprisingly smoking isn't banned in public places in Austria like the UK.
Location; friendly, helpful staff Card key entry to car park and hotel at night - no staff on duty at night.
You must stay at least one night to feel the charme! It is the money worth! Do not take the cheapest room! The location is ideal in the summer time!
Close to the lake and bus stop, good stuff, breakfast, rooms, wi-fi, free bicycles, free parking. Very noisy at night because it stays at a crossroads and 100m from the railroad. It seems that trains go through the room.
beauitiful and highly styled modern rooms, nice staff. no private beach; breakfast rather ordinary; breakfast room simple; not suiable for families. no lounge. Overpriced.
an excellent sized room with great facilities only served breakfast,did not serve dinner or lunch.
Room wasn't air-conditioned but was located on the sunny side so it was way too hot there.
The staff (family of owner) was very polite and ready to assits with any detail request. Had the upscale room which is very large and comfortable. Breakfast is in a pleasant large room and quite complete.
in the internet looks good
Proximity to the lake; friendly staff. The motorway and railway behind are a little noisy, but not too bad
The service in the hotel (by staff) was the best I have ever experienced. They went out of there way to do everything to help us.
Simply the best!
The town is extraordinary, beautiful and clean, its history is impressive, the lake was also magnificant, and the hotel...is astonished: furniture, food, location...everything was beautiful! Congratulations!
Very polite and helpful staff Breakfast food/fresh fruit could have been better
good size rooms for the suite. The breakfast was wonderful and so was the breakfast staff the beds were very uncomfortable. Access with luggage was difficult and front desk not friendly enough
Location and parking, pleasant stuff It was too hot in the room
Vey beautiful decorated hotel and rooms,very large room Small size and old model tv in the room.
It was unique The room was much to hot. I would have liked a bigger window it felt a bit enclosed.
Absolutely wonderful! We shall return; None
Convenient location with parking close by and good restaurants and shops. The hotel staff very efficient with helpful, accurate recommendation on restaurants. Comfortable, clean rooms. Excellent breakfast The noise from the street was loud in early morning hours, probably garbabe pick up trucks. In general hotel facility is dated with old hallway carpet and the bathroom, although very clean, wants a bit of updating. The hotel reception is not at ground level but on upper level of the building.
Not a lot. Lack of a restaurant in a four star hotel and it was up two flights of stairs and lack of adequate parking. The parking was not secure as it was id available on the busy road.
It was right on a main street and very close to the train station. It wasn't expensive at all and the room was clean. For someone who is a light sleeper, the rooms facing the street might be too noisy but the rooms on the other side shouldn't be a problem.
The whole atmosphere of the hotel looks friendly.
Hotel staff extremely friendly & helpful. It would have been great if the air conditioner was equipped in the room since it was very hot and there was no breeze coming from outside on the day we stayed.
Location and transport comminications within region. Relaxed atmosphere and friendleness of staff. Large well appointed room. Nourishing breakfast.
The room was excellent and despite being centrally located I was not aware of any outside noise so well insulated.
excellent staff - helpful and friendly parking is a bit difficult but staff due to city center location but staff is there to help
Very good location, good service, clean and confortable
The hotel staff were super friendly and very accomondating.
Bed was rock hard, manager and staff were rude and unhelpful. Room was tiny, but clean No public transportation near-by, no restaurants with smoke-free sections, many businesses out-of business in the area and hotel was across the street from two bars and very noisy!!!
Furniture, carpet, decoration is old fashioned.
The pictures were a bit misleading -- nowhere on the property can you sit outside and have the lake in the background but the location was excellent -- close to the downtown, Minimundus, etc. No
I am more than pleased with my stay and it was more then I expected. Miss Katia at the reception was more than pleasant, even familiar. Welcome drink, polite and friendly staff, eastern chocolate eggs...Breakfast very good, wide variaty of home made cutleries, Food in the restaurant was exceptional - gourmet, deer cotlet,quality wine and beer; waiters - simpy great! Quitness, pillow and madrace was superb, I slept like a baby, sauna, swimming pool super. Decoration is from 70s, but it doesn't matter. So, my wife, two kids and I simply enjoyed every minute. Nothing.
Staff were really friendly, helpful and professional. Typical Austrian Hotel. Very high standard of cleaniness. Although decorations slightly dated Hotel very charming. Had use of bicycles which was very good. There was no air conditioning in our room which was in the roof and it was so hot it made us really uncomfortable.
Beautiful landscape, very helpful staff including the Restaurant staff.
They really tried to provide convenience in many aspects and it was very well ordered. The atmosphere was a bit old but I did not have any problem with that.
helpfull friendly staff to far from town
Peacefull location Slightly dated decor and no residents ! Restaurant situated away from main hotel.
Large space in the apartment
Excellent facilities with pool, very comfortable rooms, great breakfast with a large selection of different foods. Staff were kind and friendly.
Very helpful reception staff who had no problems about ringing the airport to find out if my flight would be OK.
Clean. Good food at reasonable prices. Helpful staff.
The hospitality Lack of balconies
Warm welcome, very helpful staff (who spoke great English!), clean room, modern bathrom, and great breakfast.
Calm place, good staff
it's a very quite hotel, clean and confortable, near highgways as well as the city center. good for one/two nights. good meal and breakfast smell of fried stuff in the restaurant and stairway. electric plugs and lightning in the room was not good
Service and courtesy
The hotel was close to all main attractions, restaurants, station and main city square. It was friendly and welcoming, and the manager spoke excellent English.
Oliver was very helpful, with his knowledge of the town and our onward journey. The hotel is located within a stones throw of the town centre.
The manager, who appeared to run the hotel solo, was charming, helpful, and informative. There was everything that one needed and nothing extraneous. We were made to feel most welcome and I was particularly grateful for the peace and comfort (and extra tea!), since I had the misfortune to suffer a classic migraine while there. Coming and going at awkward hours was also made effortless. He was also bi-lingual - so we could be lazy linguistically! I have added Culture as a category for this hotel, because Klagenfurt has a beautiful theatre and a remarkably dynamic programme of excellent opera, musicals etc.for which we travelled from France!.
Thank you for a fantastic room for four nights! We will come back!
Great location with extremely helpful and friendly hotel owners who attended to our every need and requirement.I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in Klagenfurt.
There was an absolute star on the front desk. He was friendly and professional, spoke English for us, and gave us ideas for what to do in the Klagenfurt. He liked his work and knew his city. I apologise for not knowing his name. Good breakfast, also with friendly service. The hotel is very central, a couple of minutes walk from the Lindwurm. By itself, the hotel is fine but it was the staff that made it noteworthy - well done. The ensuite was small but everything you need is there.
The owners were very helpful and attentive. Very close to town centre. Supermarket round the corner. Large room.
The stuff were very kind und friendly. Eazy to access city-center. nothing.
The owner, Oliver, was very welcoming and helpful. The room was small, but very clean. The room was small.
It was a very nice stay and the staff so kind
Location, cleanliness and friendliness of staff - a pleasant visit
Breakfast. -Room was not really comfortable (forniture). Quite far from Velden center. Sevice very timely for opening gate.
clean and comfort room,excellent buffet
very clean hotel. breakfast is excellent. sauna and jacuzzi are perfect. near to wörthersee by car. the wellness section is closed at the morning
Friendly staff spotless rooms and faci;ities.
Proximity to Wörthersee. - By entering the room one wouldn't normally expect two stairs leading down - You have to go through the smoking section in the dining area to land at the non-smoking part.
the place is very relaxing and beautiful, surrounding by a woderful landscape. At the same time the hotel is provided by all you need for your wellness.
Breakfast was generous. various dishes/choices. The place is quiet and beds comfortable.
Very friendly atmosphere
friendly staff, nice restaurant. prety far from center of the town
Location without a car is a problem, expensive in taxi fares. Knowing this now, I would have chosen a higher price for a more convenient location
excellent location, excellent food, very good service. short distance from the lake
The hotel is very nice and clean, the staff are friendly. It is good located, just few kilometers away from city Klagenfurt and lake and good base for exploring the surrounding area. The hotel has it's own beach on river close by that is very nice.
Friendly in a beautiful location - just 1hrs walk form the city. I have no complaints
The food was good. We were put in the annexe and there was no lift; unfortunately, our visit co-incided with a conference and the hotel was very busy.
A very nice place, the restaurant was very good, and the food excellent, staff friendly and helpfull.
The staff was very helpful, especially Gerald! All staff spoken English, this is not regular thing in Austria. There wasn't air condition in the room...
Good food. Very clean facilities, Friendly staff. Pet Friendly.
rooms were clean, breakfast ok, friendly recepttionist. wireless internet was slow but free, also underground garage parking was free. this is not a hotel in the proper sense, 3th and 4th floor are hotel rooms in a general purpose building. reception is on the 4th floor. this is not a real inconvenient though.
the main receptionist was excellent it was only on the 3rd and 4th floors of a 4 storey building
Not 4 star, maybe 3
Excellent breakfast, staff were really helpful and friendly and free garage parking. Room was small and furniture is pretty basic for a 4* hotel
Staff very friebdky and helpful....room wonderful
the hotel was very clean and full of accomodation. the personal working there were disasable to help me. any one
Proximity of the railway station, Center of city is not so far away, despite of what other guests may think. Service offered by the personel is rated "good" because I would have wished a more spontaneous proposition of food complementation at breakfast (when the number of guests is not too high, the food is partly not refilled / complemented). Equipment was marked "good" because the WiFi connection was repeatedly intermittently interrupted. Finally, comfort is marked "good" only because of the street.
the friendly stuff, free parking, very good breakfast no air conditioning, near the railway station
Staff are very helpful and kind, great breakfast, garage, tidiness, internet connection, sauna. The website of the hotel is not informative enough, it does not say the hotel takes just two floors of the building, while it makes it look much bigger than it is. The bathroom is quite small, no towel rack.... Comfort standards are a little low for a 4-star hotel.
Effeciancy of the hotel staff, good excess for disabled Everything was all right except the fact that we were charged same day when the booking is done without warning that in any case of cancellation the money is not refundable ( we should be advised that this is not policy over direct hotel sales department! )
Die Zimmer sind ausreichend wenn man alleine reist. Die Qualität der Möbel scheint hochwertig. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. All you need ... is love! Das Hotel ist sauber, das Personal freundlich aber der Rest ist leider schmuck-, charm- und lieblos. Für den Preis - knapp 75 Euro im Doppelzimmer pro Nacht - ist mir das zu wenig. Das Frühstück war leider keine Ausnahme. Die Qualität der Speisen mittelmässig, Orangensaft und Apfelsaft waren stark verwässert - das muss nicht sein. Dann lieber Zimmer ohne Frühstück oder nur auf Wunsch und dafür bessere Qualität. Für eine kleine Familie (Reisegitterbett) würde ich das Hotel gar nicht empfehlen. Die Zimmer sind einfach zu klein. Ich kann auch bestätigten: der Polster ist gar nicht gut.
Rooms were nice and clean, modern and comfortable. Beds were super comfortable. Balcony with great views over the mountians. No
The hotel is very new and the rooms are quite big and have a balcony the bed sheets of 1 bed were not clean. Found hairs in the bed. However the other bed was in excelent conditions and the room and bathroom were very clean. not sure if it was a mistake by the cleaning staff...
Kind, helpfull and well informed staff (especially at the reception desk). There should be a full size mirror in each room. It would be nice if the breakfast varied a bit from day to day.
everything was very good, we enjoyed our stay there wasnt anything that we didnt like about the hotel
clean, modern and new hotel, was very good to stay in. Big windows, spacious rooms. While room and furniture is pretty simple I was feeling very comfortable there. Free Internet in the whole hotel, free parking. No refrigerator/bar in the room

Mount Saint Mary College education grads – having logged more
than 100 hours of fieldwork plus months of student teaching -- are
ready to take on their own classrooms.
And one alumna is even poised to become national Top
Danielle Greco (left), a '98 Mount grad who majored in
English/education, was selected as one of five national finalists
in the Top Teacher Search by the morning television show "Live!
with Kelly." Greco appeared on the show Monday, May 14, and viewers
will vote for Top Teacher.
Greco, a special education teacher at John F. Kennedy Middle
School in Bethpage, NY, was selected from viewer nominations.
Greco commented: "Mount Saint Mary College was instrumental in
making me the teacher I am today. The Mount gave me the foundation
of my teaching career academically and inspired me to be a teacher
who really cares and takes interest in her students."
Graduating senior Meghan Stackpole (right) noted that the Mount
taught her skills which "help me feel comfortable and confident
teaching in a classroom."
Following graduation, Stackpole will be employed as a teaching
assistant in the Pine Bush Central School District in Orange
County, NY.
"I'll be working in a self-contained special education class
with third, fourth, and fifth graders," said Stackpole, who majored
in social sciences.
A resident of Pine Bush, NY, Stackpole chose the Mount because
of the "great reputation of its education program."
While student teaching at Pakanasink Elementary School in
Circleville, NY, Stackpole "learned behavior and time management,
two vitally important skills for a teacher to possess in order to
have a successful learning environment in her own classroom," she
And completing 120 hours of fieldwork definitely prepared her
well for student teaching, she added.
Mount Saint Mary College's education program is distinctive in
that fieldwork -- embedded in coursework -- starts in the sophomore
year, said Reva Cowan, chair of education.
"We start earlier than many other colleges getting our students
in actual classrooms while providing a very supportive environment
for our teacher candidates," said Cowan.
Karen McCaffrey, a mathematics/education major, will pursue
graduate studies in education at the Mount. She will also work on
campus as a graduate assistant for the student affairs office.
"I've learned so much at the Mount, both academically and
professionally," said McCaffrey of New Windsor, NY, adding that she
"flourished" during her four years here, while "falling in love
with teaching."
James Tompkins, a history/education major, is a young man who
will head west to continue his education. The Marlboro, NY
resident, will attend California State University, Long Beach, for
a master's degree in social and cultural analysis of education.
Student teaching at Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh, NY,
prompted Tompkins to "become interested in the educational policies
that affect classroom teachers," he said.
"My long term goal," noted Tompkins, "is to obtain a doctorate
degree in the social science and comparative education program at
the University of California at Los Angeles."
And Brittney Botta (middle), an honors mathematics/education
major, was recently selected by the American Educational Research
Association (AERA) to participate in the association's prestigious
undergraduate research workshop.
A Warwick, NY resident, Botta's primary research interest is
motivation among adolescent girls to pursue careers in mathematics
and engineering.
The Mount's education program earns high marks in preparing well
qualified teachers and administrators with the aggregate pass rate
on the content specialty tests required by New York State for
licensure at 98 percent. New York State requires at least an 80
percent pass rate.
Debra Calvino, who graduated from the Mount with a mathematics
degree in 1981 and teaches at Valley Central High School in Orange
County, was named New York State 2010 Teacher of the Year.
Top Teacher nominee Greco, in commenting about the Mount, said
the small class size "helped me thrive, and professors took an
interest in both academic success and the family each student left

Bradbury, Ray. Pleasure to Burn
Bradbury's 1953 novel "Fahrenheit 451," a dystopian tale of a grim future in which all intellectual expression and individuality is frowned upon and firemen burn books rather than putting out fires, is rightly considered a classic of the sci-fi genre. In this collection, 16 tales are culled from Bradbury's own archive, tracing the progression of his work on the themes contained in his masterwork. Some of the tales are lesser known, such as "Bright Phoenix." Others, like "The Pedestrian" and "The Mad Wizards of Mars," will be more familiar. Also included are "Long After Midnight," featuring an early version of the events and characters of "Fahrenheit 451;" and "The Fireman," the novella Bradbury used as a base for the novel. This collection serves as an essential companion piece to the novel. Highly recommended.

(9/12/2013) As they sat at caf� tables set up on the street, New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. and Director of Transportation, Traffic and Parking Jim Travers unveiled the City�s latest addition to Complete Streets strategies�the Parking Terrasse. The Parking Terrasse is a parking space (purchased by Meat & Co., a new sandwich shop on Crown Street) that is cordoned off by large planters and set up with caf� tables for al fresco dining for the next month.
�What we are seeing is that by making the public streets usable and pleasant for everyone, not just motorists but bicyclists and pedestrians, we are in fact stimulating economic development,� said Mayor DeStefano. �This outdoor seating, especially set up in the street, creates a vibrant, interesting and fun atmosphere downtown while at the same time attracting interest to the opening of a new business.�
Jim Travers, Director of Transpiration, Traffic and Parking examined the idea after seeing it�and enjoying it� in Montreal. �I decided to pilot this here in New Haven because it hasn�t been done before and is a unique way to support business while creating a more interesting streetscape.� The Parking Terrasse will be in place for a month in front of Meat & Co. After the pilot run, the City will review and assess its impact.
Launched in 2010, Complete Streets aims to promote a safe, context-sensitive transportation network that serves all users (pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists) and integrates the planning and design of complete streets that foster a livable, sustainable and economically vibrant community.
Other initiatives of Complete Streets include bike lanes, numerous traffic calming remedies and the recent change of certain parking meter time limits to correspond to the needs of the businesses�and customers� that are located nearby.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Crews in Ohio are working to restore a famed B-17 bomber from World War II, scraping paint and bending metal to bring back the beauty of the Memphis Belle.
The storied aircraft flew 25 crucial missions over Europe during the war, a rare accomplishment at the time. Now the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton is preparing the plane for display in its World War II Gallery, tentatively scheduled for 2014.
The restoration crews include 20 staff and 64 volunteers, many of whom make new parts by hand. Restorer Duane Jones tells the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/yqGN77 ) he considers it an honor to work on such a famous plane.
The museum says only about 50 of the nearly 13,000 B-17s that were built still exist.

Then I download the 12.2.55 tar file - and I get an errormessage that there is not enoug space in flash for the 12.2.55 tar file.
Oh [email protected]! I made a mistake!
You've choosen and downloaded the WRONG IOS file.
Let me explain: You have an appliance with 16 mb of flash. You are trying to upgrade an IP Services to an appliance with only 16 mb of flash. To do so you'll need a "special" file, a file with the prefix of "lm" or "lmk" (aka LITE). The bad news is that 12.2(55)SE does NOT have an IP Services file with "lm" or "lmk". The nearest one is 12.2(53)SE. Be careful with this version because I've had bad history with this.
The only way is for you to drop further down to 12.2(50)SE and try this. The 12.2(50)SE does not have an "lm" or "lmk" suffix but this will do.
