Description: Here is the riveting story of the English language, from its humble beginnings as a regional dialect to its current preeminence as the one global language, spoken by more than two billion people worldwide. In this groundbreaking book, Melvyn Bragg shows how English conquered the world. It is a magnificent adventure, full of jealousy, intrigue, and war against a hoard of invaders, all armed with their own conquering languages, which bit by bit, the speakers of English absorbed and made their own. Along the way, its colorful story takes in a host of remarkable people, places, and events: the Norman invasion of England in 1066; the arrival of The Canterbury Tales and a coarse playwright named William Shakespeare, who added 2,000 words to the language; the songs of slaves; the words of Davy Crockett; and the Lewis and Clark expedition, which led to hundreds of new words as the explorers discovered unknown flora and fauna. The Adventure of English is an enthralling story not only of power, religion, and trade, but also of a people and how they changed the world.

S. Barron Frazier '12, Lambda Circle President
"Believing in each other, really being sure...that each one of us can do amazing things in the world, that is what can make our stories into love stories and our collective story into one that continually perpetuates hope and good things for all of us." - Jessica Jackley, Founder of Kiva
While in the Society of 1791 leadership program, I remember hearing those words from Jessica Jackley and having her thoughts resonate with my beliefs and passion for service and for awakening within others their potential to change lives. Perhaps, we are attracted to service by the gratifying sensation of giving or the sense of being a contributing member of society. As good men and good citizens, we learn the value of community through helping others, an element that remains strong within Hampden-Sydney today.
In 2010, when I started "H-SC Cares for Kids" with Karin Gollin (pictured with Barron Frazier), the Service and Civic Engagement Coordinator, I wanted to make this program specific to each child. In order to achieve that goal, we worked with parents within the local community to identify a few items their children needed, such as an outfit or a jacket, and wanted, such as toys or books. The program's mission focused on the belief that a child should not go without a jacket for a toy, but in the spirit of the holiday, a child should not just receive the bare essentials. After many hours at Walmart shopping for gifts and learning sizes like "4T," we met the needs of over 140 children in the local community and raised over $4000 to support our efforts.
With these principles in mind, the Lambda Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa decided to lead this program in its second year and increased the number of children sponsored to over 179, and increased donations to over $5000, making this program one of the largest holiday gift programs in Prince Edward County. The Lambda Circle also received its first Maurice A. Clay Leadership Development grant from the National Office of ODK to support this initiative. These achievements alone are noteworthy, but in my opinion, the most rewarding element of this program came from the generosity and eagerness of students, faculty, and staff to actively support children in Prince Edward County. Over 105 students, almost 10% of the student body, and 25 faculty and staff made this program possible by providing donations, spending hours shopping, or gift-wrapping.
It still amazes me today to think that over two years, this program that once was just an idea has provided for over 300 children. From watching the hours of dedication of my peers, I strongly believe that we all do care deeply for others and possess the power to create a positive change. At Hampden-Sydney College, giving will always be a priority for those who enter and leave these gates.
The Lambda Circle wishes everyone a happy holiday season.

After my father was hurt at work and lost his job, I was forced to quit college to help keep the family afloat. I'd given up my dreams. I'd given up my friends. I'd pretty much given up everything... or so I thought. Now my father wants me to make one more sacrifice for the sake of the family. He wants me to give up my virginity to the highest bidder.

Things I Look Forward To When The Shit Hits The Fan...
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I look forward to seeing the wasteful assholes, who drive a behemoth F-350 deluxe turbo-diesel crew cab 4X4, with the huge lift and monster wheels, and use it as a grocery getter, being snapped back into reality, with no gasoline to feed their greed and ego's any longer.
I look forward to these comfy, self-important, entitled, narcissistic, ego-maniacal, selfish, fickle, demanding, dishonest, gold-digging bitches, suddenly not having any special rights, benefits, privileges, and preferential treatment, afforded by a sick, demented, and putrid artificial "society".
I look forward to all the MORONS who insist on pumping out redundant little clones of their already ridiculously pathetic gene pools, finding out that having children in the face of world chaos, WW-III, and the elite ALREADY wanting to eliminate the majority of people, maybe wasn't such a good idea after all. And finding out just how much WORSE their life will be when SHTF, because of their selfish, foolish, and irresponsible choices that they foisted on the rest of us.
I look forward to all of the "special" groups of people who are so in our face now, like illegals, homosexuals, unwed mothers, union lackeys, feminazi's, "minorities", and other assorted communists and libtards, finding out what life is like when justice and common sense rule, instead of political "correctness", and all the other putrid gobbledegook garbage rammed down our throats on a daily basis, is GONE.
I look forward to police having to go into hiding, rather than abusing people's rights, taking people's property, and locking up petty "criminals" who are less guilty than THEY are, while simultaneously IGNORING all of the REAL and MAJOR criminals in this world.
There are plenty of other things I am looking forward to when the SHTF. I'll post them later.
Meanwhile, let's hear what you are looking forward to, when the SHTF.

|Reviews for This Stupid Game
| WereBunny87 chapter 1 . 4/5/2011
awwww i love this...it's so sad though! :)
| Citrus Sunscreen chapter 1 . 1/27/2010
oh my gosh, a talk revolving around Riku's blindfold *dies* I think every time I read your Roxas/Riku, I fall a little more in love with them. ack! xD
| lewdness chapter 1 . 1/18/2008
fwa;ekj;ao I hadn't reviewed this! *feels bad* Anyway, you already probably know that I love anything that you write of course, so this is just as wonderful. You _know_ that I adore your RikuRoxas as usual, and j-just. Ooh, Riku. *hugs him*
| ebil-kitty chapter 1 . 1/15/2008
I don't have to read other people's reviews to know that they love your drabbles(but I did anyway);)
There are so many lines that I love in this little one shot - a few of them already mentioned in other reviews. My favourite line would be the description of how Roxas' eyes, shift and - well you know, heh ;p
Keep writing my dear. And make sure to enjoy it al the way :)
- ebil-kitty :3
| Angel of The Fallen Stars chapter 1 . 1/12/2008
When I saw the Roxas/Riku thingy, I was a little worried. But I liked it. A little angsty, but it was still good. I don't know what else to say unless I want to repeat myself.
| 13loves8loves9loves6 chapter 1 . 1/8/2008
aw the rikuroku ness~ its everywhere poor roxas~ these are so sad
| mirai3k chapter 1 . 1/5/2008
killed me again!
Roxas and Riku and his blindfold are made of awesome dark-angsty-attempts-at-love, in non-kinky ways of course XD
| breathesomeday chapter 1 . 1/5/2008
Short and sweet oh yeah! 8D
You wrote Roxas so evilly! x3
| dreamercat21 chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
Oh my god! That is so cool! SO going in my faves! Tee hee!
| allyssumdays chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
While this is extremly morbid and depressing, which I like, it does illustrate why Riku wears the blindfold. Makes me kinda feel bad, though. Like a deep sadness. -
| DreamReaper94 chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
whoo! That was quenching. I'm currently waiting on another fic and then you came back to the world of FF(yay-pops open shampane[however you spell it])Anyways,I had never really been into RikuRoku but now...you make me wonder(hahaha) keep up the good work! You are one of the BEST!
| AngelWing1138 chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
...Riku may be a bastard but he is a pretty bastard. *shot*
This was a very nice comback! Even for your long break it seems as if you haven't even stopped writing. I'm a slight bit confused at the beginning as to WHY Roxas was kissing him, but perhaps that's part of the story that we can think up on our own? Either way, it was really well done; I enjoyed it. I could never write a story like this, so this is talent right here. It's hard to write in canon, make it seem like it actually happened, yet keep it unique all the same. Nice.
| funwithjinx chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
I never thought of using the blindfold for that! 8D
| Suzaka chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
Johnny Falls is an amazing song for Riku, isn't it?
You're one of the people who made me fall in love with Riku/Roxas based on...the futility of it all. You're one of the few people who really capture it and this one, it's so short but it really does show Riku, and the pain of his "relationship" with Roxas. It's cruel and desperate and awesome. Kudos!
| TopKat chapter 1 . 1/4/2008
I love these little drabbles - there's some amazing stuff here, especially with Riku describing Roxas' eyes. The little phrase - 'shift, click over and finally crack' made me shiver.
amazing stuff, even though it's short :)

Matter of R
Bibliographic Citation
Pacific Reporter, 2d Series, 641: 704-708
The Washington Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Superior Court, Pierce County, in ruling that the physician-patient privilege did not apply in involuntary commitment proceedings where the issue was whether further treatment was needed after the statutory 14-day initial detention period. The patients had been told that interviews with an attending psychiatrist were not confidential and had not been told that the interviews were intended solely for treatment purposes. Therefore, the psychiatrists were properly permitted to assess the patients' mental conditions based on interviews with them. (KIE abstract)

Perhaps it is easy to forget that Spurs nearly blew the chance to play in the Champions League at all as they found themselves 3-0 down inside half an hour against Swiss minnows Young Boys before rousing themselves to quality for the group stage.
Once there, they found themselves 4-0 behind and a man short after 35 minutes against Inter Milan before a second-half restoration of pride preceded a superb victory over the same opponents at White Hart Lane to reach the next phase.
Surely a repeat is beyond them now. On both those occasions, Spurs conceded a goal within the first five minutes to put them decidedly on the back foot and history repeated itself in the Bernabeu last night as Emmanuel Adebayor headed home a fifth-minute corner for the opener.
It was Peter Crouch's turn to see red - Tottenham's three dismissals is the most of any club in this season's competition and the striker's sending-off was the fastest for two yellow cards in the tournament's history - and from then on an honourable defeat with a chance of overturning a narrow deficit at home was the best they could have hoped for.
There was to be no reprieve this time. Real are by some distance the best side Spurs have faced and, with Jose Mourinho ruthlessly insisting on a high-tempo, high pressing game to tire his numerically disadvantaged opponents, the visitors duly wilted.
Where Young Boys and Inter failed to turn up the heat, Real ensured Spurs burned alive.
It is impossible to know whether such poor beginnings to matches are the fault of poor preparation or simply an inability of the players to cope with the big occasion.
Such suspicions may be levelled towards Aaron Lennon, who was a curiously late absentee, apparently deciding just minutes before kick-off that he "didn't have the energy" to compete.
Jermaine Jenas was thrust into the starting line-up and Gareth Bale shunted out to the right wing - presumably to take advantage of the space vacated by attacking full-back Marcelo in a manner that had been originally assigned to Lennon - and Luka Modric on the opposite flank.
The midfield was reshuffled again but the disruption merely added to the uncertainty that afflicted Spurs early on. Against AC Milan, and to a lesser extent at Werder Bremen in the group stage, Spurs were composed from the outset playing with a maturity that defied their rookie status at this level.
Redknapp wanted a start like against AC Milan but instead he got the chaos of Inter and Spurs were never able to recover. "Aaron didn't feel well - he hadn't been feeling great all day," said Redknapp. "He came in after the warm up and didn't look fit to play so I said to him, 'are you okay?' and he said, 'I don't feel like I have any energy', so I had to pull him out.
"I haven't seen the tackle but Crouch shouldn't have taken the chance, he'd already got a yellow card, he shouldn't take the chance that he might get a red card, so I'm disappointed.
"I knew it would be a difficult night here but to come here and lose a player after 10 minutes made it impossible for us. It was a case then of trying to hold on, even at 2-0 I thought, 'let's get out of here with 2-0 and we've done a miracle', but we ran out of legs."
Admonishment should not be too harsh, however. Real may continue to exist in Barcelona's shadow but they have precious few others above them in world football at present.
Mourinho has brought typical organisation to a supremely gifted attacking quartet. With Sami Khedira and Xabi Alonso providing a defensive shield, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Angel Di Maria and Adebayor were given licence to rotate and interact at will, ably supported by full-backs Sergio Ramos and the outstanding Marcelo.
Ozil swung over a fifth-minute corner and Adebayor rose above Jenas to squeeze a header past keeper Heurelho Gomes and Modric on the goal-line.
Crouch's first yellow came for a rash lunge on Ramos after seven minutes. It was the sort of tackle that a lenient referee might allow, given it came so early in such a seismic match, but German referee Felix Brych justifiably went to his pocket.
He did so again just eight minutes later as Crouch chased down a loose ball and dived in again, this time on Marcelo, who threw himself to the ground in disappointing fashion.
Spurs rallied, with Bale providing a number of his trademark penetrating runs, but Real would not be denied. Marcelo swung over a cross and Adebayor rose unmarked to double the lead before Di Maria stuck a superb third and Ronaldo added a somewhat fortuitous fourth as his volley squirmed under Gomes.
"In the second leg anything is possible, we have to respect this high-quality opponent and we have to play a serious match and try to get through to the next level," said Mourinho.
But in all likelihood, Spurs' endearing adventure into the Champions League is all but over after another poor start - incidentally, perhaps a note of caution in the rush to anoint Redknapp as the England manager-in-waiting.
This was perhaps as far as their swashbuckling style could take them but there is no shame in that.Reuse content

Kaihan is a sought after speaker and facilitator in a number of fields, including business strategy, disruptive growth strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, and corporate entrepreneurship.
Working with Kaihan is easy and straightforward with no surprises. It can be expected that you will have at least one planning call before the actual event with Kaihan so he can ask questions to really understand your industry, strategy, and vision. He strives to exceed expectations for every speech or workshop he gives. Anyone that has worked with Kaihan will mention the great lengths he will go to in order to customize his talk to your industry and carefully select material that will resonate with the audience.
Most of the following programs can be offered in three standard formats, but can also be customized based on your event or program requirements.
Standard program formats
Based on his most recent book, Outthink the Competition, Kaihan delivers a set of proven business strategy tools he has used with more than 300 clients to create innovative growth ideas, ideas that increase revenue, profit, and the trajectory of your career. Blending together first-hand stories of inspiring business and social innovators, from Elon Musk to Noble Peace Prize winner Mohammad Yunus, Kaihan's presentation will teach you a tested method that will help your company develop innovative growth ideas that will make you more competitive and unlock growth.
You will learn:
"Innovation" brings to our mind the maverick entrepreneur who quits their job, at unimaginable odds, to build a business on their own. The business leaders we most admire – Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey – follow remarkably similar paths. They left school or a career; they were passionate to solve a problem; they faced daunting hurdles; they fought through a jungle of disbelief, self-doubt, and sometimes betrayal; and ultimately they came out smiling on the other end.
But this entrepreneurial story is a myth.
Kaihan argues that intrapreneurs – employees who incubate new businesses within corporations – have had a far greater impact on the world. Nearly all of the most transformative innovations over the past three decades, from e-mail and the Internet to DNA sequencing and MRI scans, were introduced by employees who did not quit their jobs but instead took the challenge of innovating from within.
Drawing on in-depth research of hundreds of successful innovators soon to be released in his next book, Change the World without Quitting your Job, Kaihan outlines the seven key steps to drive innovation inside your organization:
You will learn:
When we say "innovation" we almost always mean "product innovation." We talk about research & development and possible new solutions to meet unmet needs. This is a one-dimensional and incomplete approach to innovation. Dissect the most innovative companies of the last decade and you will see that great innovators disrupt their markets by reaching beyond the product. Oftentimes their success rests on choices that have little to do with new products.
In this presentation, Kaihan will take you through engaging examples from a broad array of industries such as Urban Outfitters in apparel, IKEA in furniture, VMware in technology, SpaceX in space launch vehicles, MasterCard in payments, and Vistaprint in printing services, showing how companies that outperform their competition seek disruptive innovation across eight dimensions (8Ps):
The "8Ps" framework has proven to be a powerful structure to engage high-level marketers and business strategists in an exploration of where competitive advantages lie and where to strengthen them. The approach has been used successfully in companies ranging from L'Oreal and Nestle Purina to Microsoft and United Technologies.
From this session, you will walk away with an understanding of:
According to a study of 60,000 managers across 140+ counties, your ability to think strategically is the most important business leadership trait you can show – more important than your innovativeness, influence, communication skills, or ability to get things done. Based on a course developed for the Wharton Business School, leveraging his proprietary research, Kaihan will ground you in the strategic concepts you must master to create a competitive advantage for your business or company. This motivating presentation will help your company to develop leaders ready to navigate the unpredictable changes of the rapidly evolving business landscape.
Participants will achieve three objectives:
In a world marked by accelerated change and innovation, mental agility has proven to be a critical driver of success in sports, warfare, business, career, and life. Yet few agree on what exactly "mental agility" is or know how to develop it. Companies that fail to move on quickly enough from their linear organization will not succeed. In this presentation, Kaihan will share insights from his study of more than 200 successful innovators, showing the key practices that distinguishes those with high mental agility from the rest of the pack.
You will learn how to:
Historically, we were taught corporations existed for one purpose: to maximize shareholder value. But companies are waking up to the realization that such a focus destroys shareholder value over the long term because it creates resistance to their growth. Based on proprietary research for his forthcoming book, Kaihan shows that today's most successful companies are the ones that speak of the strategic power of appealing to all stakeholders. If you design a strategy that benefits shareholders by also benefiting employees, the community, the country, and the environment, you have designed the ultimate strategy. When everyone wants you to win, you remove all competition.
This inspirational presentation shows how the idea goes beyond social responsibility. It points us toward removing the idea that doing good and making profit are inconsistent. You do not have to choose. Pulling together stories from organizations ranging from lesser-known jewels like Best Doctors, BrightFarms, and Holstee to leading socially directed corporations like IKEA, MasterCard, and Target, Kaihan will inspire and teach you:

I see that eWay has requested an integration on behalf of their customers numerous times in recent years. eWay has just advised me in a chat they currently process 1 in every 4 transactions online in Australia and "eWAY have the highest level of PCI compliance - https://www.eway.com.au/about-eway/technology-security and undergo yearly external audits to ensure our continued compliance"
(eWay chat) ... " I'd recommend giving them our partners email address - email@example.com
so they can reach out directly to our partners team who help with the integration"
Is there any reason this integration can't be progressed? Thank you.
JotForm Support
I will make feature request for eWay integration on this thread as well, because there is higher chance that it will be implemented when more users are asking for same feature.
We can not give you any time frame when and if this will be implemented. If there are any updates we will inform you via this thread.
JotForm Support
I have moved your question to separate thread and we will provide you an answer there shortly.

What is super and how does it work?
What is super and how does it work?
Super is money set aside over your lifetime to provide for your retirement. Think of super as a long-term investment designed specifically to help you accumulate the savings you need to live the life you want in retirement.
It's a partly compulsory plan introduced by the Government and can be summarised in seven key points.
- You open a super account or one is opened for you.
- You and your employer may make contributions.
- The super fund invests the money according to your investment choice.
- You may elect to have insurance to protect you and your family in the event that you die or cannot work.
- Investment returns, which can be positive or negative, are added to or taken from your account along with administration and investment fees, insurance costs and taxes.
- You receive periodic information about the status of your account and you can log in at any time to check your balance.
- Once you meet a condition of release, such as retirement on or after your preservation age, you can withdraw some or all of your savings.
In order to help you on your way to the retirement that you want, the Government provides incentives in the way of tax breaks to help grow your super over time. WA Super then provides you with options, education and support to help you retire right. We're here for one reason only; to help our members have a comfortable retirement.
Superannuation Guarantee (SG)
Superannuation Guarantee (SG) legislation requires employers to pay a minimum level of super for each employee at least quartely.
Currently most Australians receive a minimum of 9.5% of their salary paid into their super account from their employer. The SG rate will remain at 9.5% until 1 July 2021, when it will increase to 10%.

Park's park
Sure, pitcher Chan Ho Park is a free agent, but would he
really want to leave the Dodgers? Consider his home/road splits over the last
two years:
That's no fluke, either. His career ERA is 2.98 at Dodger
Stadium and 4.74 on the road.
That explains it
Arizona's off-the-hook closer, Byung-Hyun Kim, threw more
pitches (1,593) in relief than anyone in the majors except Matt Herges (1,605)
and Scott Sullivan (1,603). This does not include the 79 pitches Kim threw in
the Division Series and League Championship Series, or the 76 pitches he threw
in the World Series.
Just as Henry Blanco suspected
The early-season bluster about Milwaukee's Miller Park
being the next Coors Field appears to have been a bit, well, overblown. Though
it takes several seasons to get a good read on a ballpark's true tendencies,
thus far Miller has been nearly neutral. This season the Brewers and their opponents
combined to score only 1.6% more runs in the Brewers' home games than in their
road games. The park did produce 20.7% more home runs, but most of that difference
was negated by the fact that it yielded fewer doubles and triples.
Now pitching, Dr. Jekyll
Against right-handed hitters, Montreal's Scott Strickland
is one of the most dominant short relievers in the game. Send up a left-handed
hitter to face him, though, and he turns into a bush leaguer:

Business travelers such as Steven Daris, the San Diego-based CEO of dk Holdings, an Internet media company, say subways and over-ground rail systems where he visits are "sometimes hard to figure out quickly." Daris, who grew up in the country, says he would use them more if he better understood them.
But for those travelers who take the time to learn how to navigate, say, the New York subway, the payoff can be substantial. Such transit systems are often faster than a taxi, and much cheaper. They're also reliable.
"Taking a taxi or even a bus in Manhattan isn't practical," says Michael Sommer, a technology consultant in Jacksonville who travels to New York about every six weeks with a subway map in his personal planner. "After you take the subway a few times, you realize it's the only way to effectively get around."
Known as subways, rapid-rail systems, elevated or metropolitan railways, there are 14 heavy-rail systems in 11 U.S. cities. Each was designed to move a large volume of passengers through a city center and outlying areas.
Unlike commuter rail, which feeds suburban passengers into one or two stations in a central business district, heavy rail has many inner-city stations and usually operates on rights-of-way that exclude other vehicles and pedestrians. Of 2,100 miles of track operated by the nation's 14 heavy-rail systems, about 36% is underground, according to the American Public Transportation Association.
Some business travelers don't use heavy rail because trains can be crowded, and some older stations dingy. Jumping into a taxi might avoid any confusion about navigating through a rail system and can be faster to some destinations.
William Middleton, author of Metropolitan Railways, says perceived complexity is a major problem for public transit systems. "They have intimidating procedures, and people don't know how they work."
To help business travelers, USA TODAY gathered data on all the U.S. heavy-rail systems. They combined to carry about 2.7 billion passengers last year, APTA data show.
The most extensive heavy rail network is in New York, which has three systems. The largest unit, operated by MTA New York City Transit, has 25 train lines, 468 stations and 835 miles of track in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. At three Manhattan stations, it connects with the Port Authority Trans-Hudson system, which serves New Jersey. A third operates on Staten Island.
Washington, Chicago and San Francisco also have large systems, each with more than 200 miles of track.
Rail experts say heavy-rail systems have made substantial improvements to make them more consumer friendly in recent years. Such improvements have included better signs, maps, timetables and Web site information. Here's information that might be valuable for prospective heavy-rail users.
•Hours of operation. The New York City Transit system never closes. All other heavy-rail systems begin by 5 a.m. on most days and run until at least midnight. Washington's Metro operates until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
•Method of payment. New York's system once was renowned for its token machines, but those days are gone. New York and most cities use fare cards that can be bought at stations and other sites, including newsstands and retail shops. Exact change is often needed, but some systems, such as Miami's Metrorail, have change machines at stations. Some systems, including New York and Baltimore, charge the same fare regardless of the destination. Others, such as San Francisco and Washington, base the price on the distance traveled.
•Best deal. Compared with taxi fares, every heavy-rail system can be a bargain for a business traveler on a tight budget. The cheapest fare is$1.25 in Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and Miami, and between some San Francisco stations. Daily passes are always the best option if you plan to travel frequently on a single day. The most expensive one-day pass is $7.50 for Boston's T. Weekly and monthly passes provide more savings.
•Entering/exiting. Many systems require passengers to insert a fare card or ticket in a slot. Chicago offers a choice: inserting a fare card, tapping a Smart Card against a reader or putting coins into a turnstile. Washington's Metro and San Francisco's BART require passengers to insert the card or ticket again when exiting. Frequent traveler Sommer says he wasn't aware of this and threw away his ticket the first time he used the Metro. He had to seek assistance from a policeman and Metro personnel to exit.
•Ridership information. Each city's transit authority has a Web site with detailed information about its heavy-rail system and other mass-transit options. APTA has a handy Internet link to all the heavy-rail systems: www.apta.com/links/transit_by_mode/heavyrail.cfm. Every transit authority also has a consumer information phone hotline.
Most cities with heavy-rail systems have "horrendous" traffic and congestion that can ruin the workday of a business traveler sitting in a cab during a traffic jam, says APTA President William Millar. "Once you learn how to use the systems, you ask yourself: 'Why did I ever have to take a cab?' " he says.
Brian Cudahy, author of A Century of Subways, says heavy-rail systems are often the fastest way to travel, particularly during rush hours, between airports and the center of a city. He cites Atlanta and Cleveland as the best systems for airport-downtown travel.
There are other benefits of using heavy rail, says Clifton Hood, author of 722 Miles: The Building of the Subways and How They Transformed New York. "It forces you to better know the geography of a city and to interact with its residents," he says.

This article is about the Real World
Breakthrough is a multiplayer mode in Gears of War: Judgment. It is a capture-the-flag style game mode, with one flag present on the map.
Rules and RegulationsEdit
Teams of 5 a side take one turn each attacking and defending. The object of the game for the attackers is to score as many flag captures before their number of respawns run out. Attackers carry the flag from its spawn, and have to enter the capture ring to score. The object of the game for the defenders is to stop the attackers from capturing flags. When the flag carrier is killed, the flag remains where that player was killed until it is picked up by another attacker. Defenders have unlimited respawns, and cannot pick up the flag.
While playing as the attackers, a point is scored for every flag capture. The team that has the most points, wins.

In the wake of the mass murder of thousands of innocent civilians, anthrax fatalities and the threat of yet more terrorism, a debate is raging: How far must the government go to ensure national security without trampling on individual rights? Should non-citizens suspected of committing or abetting terrorism be tried a t military tribunals instead of civil courts?
Should they be held privately or before public scrutiny?
Would a national ID card help the government get a better grip on the whereabouts of terrorists, or would it be just another step towards a Big Brother government?
Has the U.S. gone far enough in overhauling immigration laws, or must more be done?
Is it OK for police to profile based on race or ethnicity?
And, has the government done enough to crack down on terrorist activity, or must even tougher laws be passed?
It all depends on who you ask.
To groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Arab-American Defamation League and the Council of New Jersey Mosques, the answer is that the United States is going too far, and that the end result will be that American citizens w ill also suffer.
Local law enforcement officials, though, are adamant the federal government must do what it is now doing to protect the United States, noting war was declared b y an unseen enemy September 11.
Officer: Arab Muslims Should Gladly Help FBI
The most recent strategy by the U.S. Justice Department to root out terrorism he re was the call for FBI agents to interview Arab Muslims, even though they aren't suspected of any crime.
To Clinton Township Police Lt. Dwight Runyan, the request shouldn't pose a problem.
He alluded to common procedure following any criminal incident. "If any crime is committed, people in that area wouldn't have a problem being interviewed. And if they love America, they'll want to do what they can to help out."
As for the chief in Portland, Ore., who refused to comply with the federal government's request to conduct interviews there because he said it was racial profiling, Runyan said that chief should be held accountable in the event an area is victimized by his failure to take action.
"This is a war. This isn't something to be taken lightly," he said. "We can't make certain laws apply because the bad guy is not abiding by them."
In fact, Arab Muslims living in America should be eager to help out, he said.
"People who are living in a free country should say, 'Please interview me. I want this country to remain free.' "
High Bridge Chief Richard Lacey also had no problems with interviewing Arab Muslims even though they are not crime suspects. "I see no problem with interviewing them on a friendly basis."
Muslims Alarmed By FBI Interview Requests
Strongly opposed was Sohail Mohammed, general counsel for the American Muslim Union and Council of New Jersey Mosques.
Mohammed said he knows of people who have been abused by the FBI's interviewing process. "They're not suspects or material witnesses. They've done nothing wrong," he said. "It's just because they share the same religious and ethnic identity of those who committed the terrible crimes September 11."
Though the Arab Muslim community "wants to help the investigation, there's an equally compelling interest of civil and Constitutional rights that can't be compromised by going out and just getting somebody," he argued.
And even though the interviews are officially voluntary, Mohammed is skeptical.
"The FBI says it's voluntary, but 40 percent of the Muslims didn't want to respond" in Michigan "so the authorities started knocking on doors," he said.
Mohammed cited cases of Arab Muslims in jail for months still awaiting questioning.
"It's really causing a lot of concerns in the community," he said. "After September 11th, they started interviewing and they ended up interrogating. And now, unless they (Arab Muslim residents) have an attorney present, they don't want t o speak."
He cited the example of an Egyptian client who is still in detention. "His visa had expired and he had applied for an extension. Because the application was pending, his legal status is on hold, but the government said he had overstayed" his residency.
After appearing in court, he was given the choice of awaiting his visa extension or being deported. He chose the latter thinking he would be deported to his homeland in a week. "It's now been two months," said Mohammed. "If he had an attorney, he would have been freed pending the visa application, or been allowed to return to Egypt. He also wouldn't be behind bars waiting for two months, waiting for clearance from the FBI. He is not charged with any crime whatsoever."
Mohammed said the public is not even allowed to speak with those incarcerated.
"If there were a security or investigative interest, we could understand," he said, "but he's not even being interviewed. It's mind-boggling."
Military Tribunals: 'They Declared War Based On Their Actions'
There are also widely differing views regarding the federal government's plan to try suspected terrorist at military tribunals.
"I think September 11th was an act of war, and anybody connected with it should be dealt with accordingly," said Chief Lacey, who advocates using military tribunals as opposed to the federal court system to try terrorist suspects.
"They declared war based on their actions. They don't deserve the rights a federal court would afford them," he said, likening the process to a town council going into private session. "A private military tribunal is like a council's executive session. It's private, and then the information is released to the public ."
Lt. Runyon agreed.
"This is a war. Let those tribunals do their job," he said. "I don't think they should be public. We're going to hold this thing for the public to be safe. Otherwise, the terrorist community is going to infiltrate it somehow."
As for known terrorists caught overseas, Runyan said he'd prefer that they be tried and convicted there rather than in the U.S. where they would take advantage of the system.
"Don't bring them here. They've got a better chance of being released here," he said. "If they're caught in Afghanistan, let them handle it. If they're brought here, liberals might want to put them on a stage. Facts are facts but in a public trial, the truth is the first casualty."
Fearful about abuses to the Arab Muslim community was Mohammed.
Concern About Tribunal Abuses
"It is troubling to see the use of tribunals," he said. "The tribunal would have the authority to put people to death without anybody knowing what evidence w as presented." And worse, he said, "they only need a majority to convict" as opposed to the unanimous vote needed for a death penalty conviction in a civil trial.
"Evidence would be concealed and who is going to be the judge and the jury?," he wondered, adding it will be the military which will have preconceived notions .
Mohammed said he believes the executive branch the presidency has overstepped its bounds, doing something only the judicial banch is authorized to do.
Expanded Wiretapping, Search Capabilities
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other libertarian groups have come out strongly against the expanded wiretapping and search capabilities allowed under the USA Patriot Act, arguing it will ultimately come back to haunt U.S. citizens.
"At first glance, the anti-terrorism legislation recently signed into law by President Bush appears to only be a means to give law enforcement officials the necessary tools to find terrorists and prevent future attacks, but in reality, the USA Patriot Act continues an alarming trend of removing authority from the judiciary in moments of crisis," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero. "While we all want our government to prevent future tragedies, we cannot allow our outrage to serve as justification for laws that trespass on our rights under the Constitution."
Added ACLU Washington office director Laura Murphy, "In passing laws aimed at protecting our security, the government must consider the harm that such laws can and will cause families town apart by deportation, long-time legal residents deported to a country they have never known and the execution of innocent people are just a few examples of the consequences."
The Patriot Act would allow law enforcement agencies to delay giving notice when they conduct a search, Murphy noted, meaning the government could enter a house , apartment or office with a search warrant when the occupant was away, search through his property and take pictures, and in some cases seize physical property and electronic communications, and not tell him until later. This provision would mark a sea change in the way search warrants are executed in the U.S."
Murphy added the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures requires the government to both get a warrant and to give notice to the person whose property will be searched before conducting the search.
Local law enforcement, though, applauded the legislation as needed to crack down on terrorism and protect the nation in times of war.
"I don't have a problem with what Congress is doing, if it gives the FBI the tools to do a thorough job," said Lacey regarding the expanded investigative powers conferred by Congress. "I understand the issue of people's rights, and we still have rights, but the day is coming when the rights of many may have to super cede individual rights" for the nation's security.
"If they're looking at somebody's computers, or wiretapping somebody's telephone, only the guilty will have a problem with it," he said. "Law-abiding citizen s won't and I don't believe they (law-abiding citizens) will challenge it" in court.
He then alluded to laws passed which seemed more concerned with protecting the rights of criminals. "We're not trying to protect the criminal element any longer. Sometimes I wonder if the courts went too far," he said. "I can understand why the government has taken the measures it's taken so far."
Runyan who lost a law enforcement friend in the attack on the world Trade Center said the security of the nation must be the top priority.
"You're going to have the ACLU saying we can't do it," he said. "Well, maybe we've got to be tightening up some laws so we as a nation can have more liberties."
He agreed with Lacey that past legal and political actions seemed to have benefited criminals at the expense of the nation as a whole.
"There were certain things done in the past that have eroded our liberties and have gotten us to this point," he said. The individual liberties argument "is a big Pandora's Box and now they're trying to put the lid back on. Protection of the general public should be far more paramount than worrying about individual liberties which are exposing the nation to danger. Certain liberties have got to be restricted so our general liberties can be protected."
But Mohammed said not just the targets of the war on terrorism should be worried.
"Expanded wireptapping should be a concern for all citizens of America, of a free world, not just Arab Muslims," he said.
The targeted Arab Muslims will be speaking with friends and acquaintances who are American citizens and neither Arab nor Muslim but who will be part of the wire tapping as a result of their conversation.
"I look at it as an issue of American civil liberties," Mohammed said. "There is a place for investigative tools. Reaching a threshold (to be allowed to wire tap) so low that's kind of scary."
He wondered what happened to the need to have "probable cause" before interrogating or wiretapping someone.
"When the Patriot law passed, there was no legislative scrutiny, no experts testified, which is usually the case," Mohammed said. "I understand the need to pass it (anti-terrorism bill) expeditiously, but once a law is enacted, it's hard to repeal. There were layers of scrutiny that had to be passed. Sometimes, haste makes waste."
He said the Arab Muslim community here also has a vested interest in the investigation. "Our interest is to secure our borders, and feel secure in our own homes. We all suffered from the acts of terrorism," he said, noting "There were between 500 and 700 Muslims who died, so we had funerals, we also mourned. Justice is blind, and an act of terrorism is, also, hurting everyone."
Ethnic Profiling: Illegal Action Or Detective Technique?
Mohammed was also disagreed strongly with the FBI effort to interview Arab Muslims simply based on their religion and ethnicity. "This is nothing less than a classic example of profiling, period," he said, and it includes every form of it , profiling based on religion, race, ethnicity and nationality.
"They (Arab Muslims) are quite concerned because they feel they are being singled out, and especially when they have no knowledge of why they're being singled out, because they have committed no crime," he said.
As for cries of racial profiling, Lt. Runyon was not sympathetic. "We've been getting complaints not just from blacks, but from women" ticketed for going the wrong way on the highway, "and even young white kids." He said after the hulla baloo dies down, people will come to their senses. "All this (outcry against so -called profiling) is doing is eroding the effectiveness of law enforcement."
When he began his career in law enforcment in 1975, "it was the Hippies who claimed they were being stopped because they were Hippies, never mind that they were consuming about 60 percent of the drugs."
National ID Card: Big Brother Or Security Measure?
A controversial idea is being considered in Washington by the Government Reform Committee of the House of Representatives: Issuing a national ID card.
The ACLU argues it would be ineffective, overly expensive and deeply misguided.
"None of the proposed identification systems would effectively sort out the 'good' from the bad," said ACLU Legislative Counsel Katie Corrigan. "An identity card is only as good as the information that establishes an individual's identity in the first place. It makes no sense to build a national identification system at a cost of billions of taxpayer dollars on such a faulty foundation, particularly when possession of the ID card would give you a free pass to board an airplane or avoid security checks at federal buildings and other public places."
She added, "It's quite clear that a national ID system would have done very little to protect the attacks of Sept. 11. Because of this, and because it infringe s on the most basic of American freedoms the right to be left alone Congress should oppose any national ID proposal."
The ACLU is also concerned about the threat of having damaging private information fall into the wrong hands when data is consolidated into one giant, extraordinarily complex computerized repository. "A Big Brother-like national ID would put the most sensitive information about all of us into one giant clearinghouse with its contents accessible by an accidential keystroke or one bad apple employee," Corrigan said.
Chief Lacey, though, said he had no problems with a national ID card designed to bolster national security. "I don't have a problem with it if it's needed to protect the freedoms we enjoy in this country," he said. "A national ID card will only help. For those with nothing to hide, it's not going to be a problem."
Immigration Clampdown
In light of the terrorist actions committed by illegal aliens and the FBI warning there are terrorist cells involving more illegal aliens all across the country , there have been many calls to strongly bolster security at the nation's border s, even hold a moratorium on immigration altogether.
Runyon, for one, said immigration needs to be vastly tightened up. "We've got paper borders. We've got to get the INS to find (illegal aliens) and send them back." Once again, he said more manpower and accountability is needed.
And even the new federal move requiring students from seven identified Muslim terrorist nations to prove they pose no threat is not failsafe. "Who is going to see if their backround is good, or if he is a terrorist?"
Not only does the U.S. have very leaky borders, it helps illegal aliens once the y get here, he said, giving them interest-free loans and the like. The illegal immigrants, he added, are very adept at knowing how to work the system to pry benefits, even though they have no legal right to be here in the first place.
And he said a lot of nations knowingly get rid of their bad apples, who come over here using the nation's freedoms to set up their illicit business here.
As for immigration, Lacey said, "If we have a borderless country where everybody is allowed in, I'm sure they're rethinking many issues to bolster the security of the United States. I don't mean our borders are going to be totally closed, but if we have more control of immigration, so be it."
The chief added he had no problem with allowing people to come here to tavel, work or study, "but if we allow it, let's do it right. For example, if they come here to work, let them pay taxes" instead of allowing them to overstay their visas and work illegally, receiving money under the table.
"And in this area in the past three years, it seems there are more and more and more" illegal aliens. "If we find one, we call the INS, but they're not going to come out, they're so overwhelmed."
Lacey said the terrorists took advantage of the nation's porous borders. "They went to our airports and found where are defenses are lacking, and found out what they could get away with. I guess we had a false sense of security, but hindsight is 20/20," he said.
Too Litle, Too Late?
Though some say the federal government's efforts are too intrusive, Runyon believes the measures don't go far enough and came too late.
Regarding the U.S. clampdown on terrorism, he said, "I think it was too little, too late. They knew about this many years ago," he said, referring to the source of the terrorism but not the specific Sept. 11 events. "What the president h as done since then has been admirable, but there are too many thousands of innocent civilians who are already victims."
"Intelligence already told us" danger was lurking and that it was not a matter of "if" but "when" terrorism would strike, he said. "What they should have done is what Bush is doing now."
He said he thinks the government knew the World Trade Center would again be attacked, but wasn't vigilant enough to stop it.
New Anti-Terrorism Techniques Needed
"Law enforcment now has greater responsibility," Runyon said, adding the idea is not to simply add more manpower to law enforcement but assign officers to a ' 'specific detail with a specific goal that's up to snuff with tactics."
He stressed they can't simply place a law enforcement officer at a specific site to protect it, but send officers on specific assignments to get to the terrorists before they attack again.
And not only must they be properly trained, but have the motivation. "You've got to send the right people; people with a stronger sense of patriotism to root out terrorism."
There must also be accountability with regards to actions or lack thereof and results. "At the same time, they have to be compassionate, because they're dealing with people of different ethnicities who in some cases have been victimized themselves," he said. "You've got diverse groups. Law enforcement has got to understand the different ethnic needs."
Runyon said police "need to interact with their communities to find out what's going on. Police need the eyes and ears of the community."
The lieutenant also said the government needs to get people to infiltrate the terrorist cells, and not just rely on satellite information.
"We need to get some cut-throat guys in there so we know exactly what's going on in those communities," he said.
Satellites can tell a lot, but "that soldier in the field who risks his life for millions of people in this country, these are the true heroes the ones willing to risk their lives, to take a dirt nap in the desert. We need people who are willing to take that risk."
No Peace Until Christ Returns
The lientenant agrees with the president that getting Osama Bin Laden is not enough, saying after the U.S. gets him, it should move on to the next terrorist and take him out as well.
But he sees terrorism lasting until the end of time. "Until Christ comes again, you're not going to see peace on Earth," he said.
"There's always going to be somebody who wants something they don't deserve, no matter how they get it."
Before, there was terrorism in the U.S. in the form of the anti-abortionists, the Black Panthers, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the Weathermen, the Puerto Rican nationalists, to name a few.
He said there will be another attack. and "I hope the president will follow through with plans to get rid of terrorism all over the world."
Mohammed: U.S. Should Examine Foreign Policy
Mohammmed said there is no religious tenet in the Koran to condone the September 11th events, or the other terrorist acts being committed from the Phillipines to the Sudan by Muslim extremists. "There's no religious book on earth that condones the killing of innocent people."
He also said it behooves the United States to examine its foreign policy. "That needs to be looked into why people hate America. Just because people disagree is no reason to commit acts of terrorism, but avoiding that question isn't helping us, either."
Lacey said ultimately the legal issues regarding individual liberties versus the security of the nation will be battled out in court, but he hoped the issues don't get bogged down in partisan political bickering.
"If it does, then the victims of September 11th will have died in vain. We cannot forget the victims of September 11th," said Lacey.
"We can't let what happened, happen again. If we have to take certain steps to prevent that from happening again, so be it," he said. "We should do what's best for America. Let's put politics aside and work together in harmony. Let's work together."

Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by tjcezar, Feb 19, 2004.
How many of you mow more than once per week?
meaning mowing the same customer more than once
I will respond on behalf of many on this board....how many times you would cut the same property in a week could depend on the following:
customer preference
height of blade
part of the country
Which such a general question, it can be difficult to answer it accurately because there are so many factors involved. The spring through the hottest part of the summer I usually cut every 5 days. Sometimes a bit sooner and sometimes later. Weather plays a huge factor in the mowing season too.
We have a few that wants cut twice a week. I try to discourage it but some peeps are stubern
I ask because I have problems with customers that only want mowing once a week, but in spring and early summer when the stuff is growing like "grass" It should definately be cut at about 5 days. It is hard to explain to these pita's that it needs cut more often.
If i cut lower (currently cutting at 3) would that reduce the speed of growth?
If you cut extremely low you will run into scalping issues. You might also casue the grass to turn yellow because it cannot hold enough moisture. Just my $.02
yeah i really dont want to cut lower. I was just asking
I like the cut it high and often theory. High grass equals less weeds and more money in your pocketbook.
