Construction of High Occupancy Toll [HOT] lanes along the Capital Beltway in Virginia is nearly complete. Now, the commonwealth is preparing to finalize a deal for more HOT lanes along Interstate-95 from Stafford County into Fairfax.
State leaders say will complete a network of faster moving traffic throughout the region, but local leaders and residents aren't quite so excited about the billion-dollar deal.
Under the agreement, private contractor Fluor Transurban -- the same company constructing the beltway HOT lanes -- will construct the I-95 HOT lanes and pay the bulk of the $1 billion price tag. In exchange, they'll have control of tolling revenue for 73 years.
"And our users of the highways will get to make a choice, whether they want to use HOT lanes of general purpose lanes," says Virginia Department of Transportation commissioner Greg Whirley. "By going in HOT lanes it will definitely reduce their commute times."
No county will be as affected by the new lanes as Prince William, and the county's highest-ranking elected official, Board of Supervisors Chair Corey Stewart, is hardly a cheerleader for it.
"Well, we never really liked the project," he says. "I'm personally not sure it was a good idea for the state."
Stewart worries tolls could be exorbitant, and he isn't crazy about the extended length of the deal. But he applauds the state's decision not to put HOT lanes on Interstate-395. Stewart says that decision will help preserve the thriving carpooling tradition in his county, informally known as "slugging."
"You'll have to continue to carpool or use the bus to use I-395, and to that extent I'm not as concerned as I once was about the impact on slugging," Stewart says.
But some commuters aren't so sure. Woodbridge resident Ebony Sloan commutes on I-95 just about everyday. "Personally I think it may actually may end up making us have more single drivers, and making us have less sluggers and more cars on the road," she says.
And Stewart Schwartz with the Coalition for Smarter Growth points out that it's not as if you have to lose all sluggers before the system becomes unreliable.
"You know if you start losing people who like to drive and pick up sluggers, and x number of sluggers, will the system become so inconsistent that people will just throw up their hands and drive on their own," he says.
Schwartz says the Virginia General Assembly should demand more data before the HOT lanes deal is finalized, but right now, it seems local leaders and commuters have little chance to get an answer to that question before seeing HOT lanes in action.

Teeth In Your Green Beans?
Not to worry. Those teeth? They are in the mouth of a rat, whose head Texan Dale Cane found in a can of Allen's Italian Cut Green Beans! If you're thinking this is a one-time thing, think again. As reported in The Beaumont Enterprise:
Utah mother Marianne Watson in October 2007 made the news after reporting that she found a rat head in a can of Allen's Italian Cut Green Beans, also purchased at a Wal-Mart.(Warning to rats: beware of the "Italian cut.") Okay, so just two times?
... in 2005, The Northwest Herald in McHenry County, Ill., reported that a woman found an amphibian leg in a can of Allen's Italian Cut Green Beans, The Tribune noted in its story last fall.So what did Allen Canning Co. have to say?
In a telephone interview following the Utah case last fall, Allen Canning spokesman James Phillips told The Salt Lake Tribune, "This rodent was rendered commercially sterile. We cook each can individually at a temperature up to 265 degrees."So just go ahead and eat that "commercially sterile" rat head!
How much did Allen offer to settle the claims? $25 and some goodies (a gift pack and a cookbook!) for the amphibian leg. And seeing a rat's head in your food must be twice as nasty in Texas as it is in Utah, because the offers were $200 and $100 respectively! Oh, and the grossed out folks would have to sign a non-disclosure agreement too. Does Allen Canning Co. even have a PR department?

Opinions of the game so far
1 Year, 1 Month ago
So i bought recently Stronghold 3 from amazon...and i was afraid as i read that there were so many bugs/glitches around..but at least this was not the case for me.I have yet to find a bug/glitch (as for right now cant remember if i get one or not but doubt it).
However i have some opinions regarding the castle constructions that im not liking..One of them is the walls..i have played all the other stronghold games and i dont know..its probably me or im kind of noob at sh3 but why is so hard to connect the walls/towers with eachother? I mean in sh2 i didnt have that problem i just drag the mouse over the place i want to connect and that is..here its not the case..it doesnt let me do that unless is connected to one of the doors of the tower (i find it lame because you cant really make the design you want)..and sometimes it wont allow you to close the castle at all.
Other thing i realise is the many kind of walls and castle defensive structures some of them are a bit confusing such as the rounded "walls" with like 4 path i believe theyre used to connect some walls but then again its still hard to properly do it.
Archers on walls seems to be weak even with the protection on it..it seems that the enemy archers or the "soldiers" (meele/spear thrower) which seems to kill the archers in like 2-3 spear attempts.
The lack of automatic response of the defensive siege units leaves a lot to wish..and i mean for what i could see during one mission in the campaign it seems that the "catapult" doesnt fire automatic..but its manual (same happen in other games but i thought it was going to be automatic)..i dont know if this is the case with the others defensive siege equipment such as the "ballista" (which was automatic in other games).
Traps however seems to work as inteded at least for the pits/spike traps.
The graphics arent bad at all..in fact im not using a good videocard and im running it at ultramax without any issue..but still since the game is based on 3D its kind of slow if we compare it with Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader (this is not new but this was in SH2 as well).
As for the multiplayer i have yet to test it but then again if i cant even get used to the walls and such i rather not try it just yet.Sad that there isnt a skirmish mode or a Player Vs AI kind of mode (besides campaigns)..as that could add fun if you want to play co-op with other players.
I like the fact that they removed the "trash"/"justice" stuff from SH2 which i kind of didnt like it as it added even more time to the matches and remove the "fast paced"..but then again the only fast paced stronghold games i really saw was SH/SHC and i believe it was because..it was just simple..i mean you still have to manage the popularity/food/produce the weapons and such..but it didnt go far from it..the interface was really friendly and easy to use which i believe is more complex in SH3.
The battle campaign (i have not finished it yet) seems decent..it could be better but is decent.As for the economic campaign i only joined the first mission and then drop it as i wanted to end the battle one first..but my only complain on the economic is ..what happen to the old economic campaign that we saw in SH2..where you had all this AI lords and castles and such (that i really like because it gave the feel of persistent world)..i mean from that to being alone is kind of boring..sorry if we actually get more AI in economic campaign with us then again i have not finish it yet only giving my opinions on what i have seen so far.
Anyways sorry if you cant understand this but english is not my main language so yeah
I will be posting later.. when i have more time in the game to see other aspects.

In Stronghold 3 I do not really seem to be able to focus much at all on the military aspects of the game. Strategy is about the same except the economy is a bit simpler to manage than in 2. I can't seem to focus on the stuff I want to focus on. The economy is in constant need of something and by the time the scenario is over I have a balanced economy. I just try to place my buildings and try to expand my economy walls and army. No time or reason to use troops. Just stack them on the walls or in a siege just make a battle plan and execute. Sieges are actually a lot more fun. I guess I just want some skirmish mode style play. Since Stronghold 2 and especially 3 walls and buildings take up sooo much space that I can't expand and be as creative as I could Crusader and the original. There are not so many options in strategy or different ways to build an economy or castle. I want space and an easier to use in game interface. I hope to see some of the strategic innovations I am hearing about working in Crusader 2. I also would like to see the vanilla maps, places textures of SH 3 in Crusader 2 for there is no skirmish or on rural Europe in SH 3. Much of the slow balancing of the economy is due to slow rate of peasants.

Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser, huband/drummer for Wynonna Judd, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, prompting the country singer to postpone all concerts scheduled in Canada for next week.
Judd and Moser went for a ride on separate bikes before a concert stop in Deadwood, South Dakota over the weekend. During the ride, Moser struck an oncoming vehicle and was taken to a local hospital. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.
"The outpouring of prayer and support from friends, family and fans has been a blessing to both Cactus and I. Cactus is a champion. I love him deeply and I will not leave his side," said Wynonna in a statement.
Judd and Moser were wed earlier this summer during a private ceremony in Leipers Fork, Tennessee.

Let's just assume that a day passed during the FI arc. Same happened at Alabasta, Skypiea, Water 7, Thriller Barque...
Let's just assume that a day passed during the FI arc. Same happened at Alabasta, Skypiea, Water 7, Thriller Barque...
Didn't the party last through the night? and the next morning Pekoms and co. arrived
No, during those arcs there was clearly bed time sun rises and timed appointments. You can't just make up your own assessment of time when the events follow each other so closely. There were no breaks for night time.
During the party Robin speaks to Neptune. Still light out.
Caribou over hears this.
Shirohoshi goes to her room because she isnt used to drinking, Caribou is already there during the party while Jinbe explains the worlds situation... Wouldnt it have been better to go after her during the night? Well when he gets knocked out its still clearly day.
Luffy says he just ate a whole bunch of sweets. it wasn't the night before, it was only at most a few hours or even moments ago.
Though this is open to interpretation. Sounds like Neptune recruited all the Fishman District soldiers that very day, and not the following morning.
The cover story is the only thing out of the ordinary, and probably that way because that was how the island was viewed during it's climax.
Nintendo players and One Piece readers... Just better people.
NNID: RomanceDawn
Look at Caribou flying. For some reason Oda just shades the palace bubble darker.
Anything else?
Nintendo players and One Piece readers... Just better people.
NNID: RomanceDawn
Until I see something where Oda confirms it, it just won't make sense to me how that much happened in less than a day.
The island can move like a ship so i am sure it moved closer to sa in the two year time skip also the straw hats had to rescue hachi before they could go to sa and then they wasted time going to the red line so i think it would have taken them less time if they had just went to sa !
Well sorry man the evidence is in the manga it's self.
Would you believe the crew met Dorry and Broggy at little garden, then went all the way to Long Ring Long Land and battled Aokiji in less than month? Of course you wouldn't cause it wouldn't make sense. But if you read carefully it's all there.
Nintendo players and One Piece readers... Just better people.
NNID: RomanceDawn
I do believe that all that all that happened in less than a month because all of the evidence is referenced by the characters.
I'm not saying it's not the case that it's been less than a day, I've said in a few posts that it's likely to be true. I'd just like more evidence to back it up, and so far it's not there other than not sleeping.
All we have to go by for this is they left at x time on Sabaody to Fishman Island and now they've finished their business there, traveled back up to the surface and are on another island. The only thing that makes it believable at all to me is the help they got from the whales, that would cut a huge amount of time off the journey back.
If you compare it to the day of the Knock-Up stream, they've done a lot more since they left Sabaody.
If it's still the same day than it has to be night on Punk Hazard right now.

All i can say is either One piece has Mega long days or they can walk extremely fast. Because In FI there was 1 panel where they had to travel 100km and they did it in like half and hour... So either there minutes etc. are a lot longer then real life or they all on super speed.
The Undeniable dream is the least expected dream
can any1 link where it is? i remember the 150km part just being how far Hodi's attack went ( all the way to the mermaid cove).
Veni, Vidi, Vici.
100k balance remaining
As you can see the 150Km thing was erased in the volume version.
I meant the time spent on the actually islands, not the whole sagas. Sorry it was vague.
I know that there's no actual proof, Ridley, but it seems physically impossible to me that something which takes more than a day to read took less than a day in "their time". Especially when a lot of little things are omitted from the pages. What if they were knocked out for the night after they crashed through FI's outer bubble? Hell, what if Oda just skipped the night, who knows? Let's just agree that there is no way of knowing.
You can ignore everything, but so far there has been no indication of night falling or a full day passing.

We have arrived in Bangkok :) yipeeeeee
I think I have now experienced the most scary journey ever which was the taxi journey from the airport to the hotel ... No seat belts too .. I actually saw a baby in between 2 adults on moped weaving in and out of the traffic. From what I heard about Bangkok and seen on tv it's definitely just like that .. Stinks .. Busy .. And just generally …
Back in Bangkok
So... I finally arrived in Bangkok after 12 sleepless hours on the plane and an hour to get through passport control. The taxi driver who brought me from the airport to my hotel must be Lady Gaga's biggest Thai fan. I was subjected to several versions of 'Telephone' including the actual video on his in-car DVD player lol! Ah well, at least it wasn' …
Flipping Fish in the river by the food market
Met Alex in Bangkok for an emotional reunion and head back to the Sofitel Silom for an exec. suite and some hardcore free internet action in the exec. lounge. The next day we headed to the Chinese Embassy to sort visas out and do boring things like booking flights and arrange our move to the backpacker area which was pretty much the most touristy …
Spoke too soon...
... your kidding' he says 'no... i'm not'..
So I go speak to the supervisor who explains in his own roundabout way that Air Asia is a **** airline and for some reason when you fly with them you have to go through immigration ... Now if I had chosen any other local airline I wouldn't have had this problem, just straight through to the transit lounge and on I go but oh no... Not with ****** AIR ASIA....ARRRGGHH!!

Stayed at the Sofitel this Febuary. Staff was helpful, hotel is charming you know you are in Asia with the decorations. You can walk to the tram and local shopping is great. There are wholesalers in the area and you will get great prices. Patpong is 5 block walk (easy). We had a club room on the 26th. I would recomend a club room you get a private check in along with free drinks 5 to 7pm with snacks each day. Any request I ask for was meant. We bought a broom to take home as a decoration and I needed to have it sawed in half to fit in the luggage. I gave it to the conceirage and 5 minutes latter it was at my room. When I go back I will stay at the Sofitel
Only get what you pay for
I stayed at the Sofitel Silom 12/26-12/31/2004 and again 1/9-1/11/2005. During the first five nights I was "upgraded" to an executive floor room on the 30th floor. The room had great views although the windows were in dire need of outside cleaning. The room was modern and large with a very hard but comfortable bed. The amenities were nice, especially the glass enclosed shower. However the room did not have a couch or separate sitting area, just a chair and a desk.
On my second two night stay, we were given a room on the 22d floor. Although it was winter in Bangkok, the airconditioning in the room was inadequate and after attempts to fix it were made, we were moved to another room on the 20th floor. Although I had requested a non-smoking room and the 20th floor was nonsmoking, the room reeked of cigar smoke.
We were moved again,and my request for an upgrade was denied despite the fact that it was now well after midnight and we had missed our dinner reservations with all the moving around. The third room was NOT the charm, again the air conditioning was inadequate, the room again smelled of smoke,and there was no hot water in the bathroom. I complained to the manager who advised that "only club rooms had airconditioning and hot water that worked without problems:!!
Finally at 1 am the hot water problem was corrected and we unhappily remained in this room since we were told there was no other rooms available.
The concierge desk was good about making restuarant reservations.
There are too many staff standing around in the lobby greeting you and not enough people who can actually help.
The gym is adequate although the pool and sundeck are extremely small and can only accomodate a few people.
The breakfast on the 39th floor was good but the same everyday. The service was good.
The wine bar/restaurant V9 on the 38th floor is beautiful and very hip.
All in all, it seems that this hotel is still in the process of upgrading from the Lee Monarch Gardens that it was. If you are in a Club room you can expect good service and a good room, otherwise you are taking your chances with poor infrastructure, an indifferent staff and not very good value.
Good, not great
Stayed in deluxe for 1 night; club floor for 2 nights
Pros: Clean, modern rooms- very much in "Sofitel" style. Good rates. Nice housekeeping and turndown service.
Cons: Located away from any tourist attractions (temples, shopping, restaurants). 10 min walk to SkyTrain. Too many staff- only a few can actual meet requests. First room had poor drainage of shower- staff begrudgingly moved us to club floor, even though we are Sofitel Privilege members. Adequate breakfast- some of the staff seem reluctant to help. Spa experience was disappointing- masseuses did not ask about preferences and seemed to be rushing. Concierge unable to find phone number for popular retail shop.
Recommend: Overall, this could be a much better hotel with better staff. Can find better value for money, especially in Bangkok.
Excellent hotel
We stayed in Sofitel 2 nights at the beginning of November. We had a Club room on 28th floor. The room was absolutely superb. The mixture of futuristic and Asian styles. Bathroom - with a bath and shower cubicle.
Also we had free snacks and drinks from 4 to 6pm and free 30 mins on the Internet on the computer in the Club room every day and it was a pleasant surprise: when we paid for the club room through the travel agency in Bangkok, we didn't know we would have all these extras. The breakfast was in a Club room, everything fresh and tasty. We paid for our room 4300 Bhat per night, it is about 60 pounds. Standard room would be sheaper, and initially we booked a club room because all standard ones had been booked, but we never regretted about it - club service was great.
Only one thing might be a disadvantage in this hotel - a swimming pool is small. But we didn't care as we spent most of our time sightseeing and didn't have time for a pool anyway. We had lots of swimming on Phuket afterwards. In Bangkok we went on tours to the Temple of Emerald Budda and floating market, both were great. I would really recommend them. We also went to the crocodile farm with a show, we enjoyed it too.
Another good thing about Sofitel - it is located very centrally, very easy to get a taxi. Considering that in Bangkok you are moving everywhere by taxi, it was convenient.
Another Fab review!
Stayed here for 5 nights in August 2004. What a great hotel. Good location for skytrain and the nightmarket at Patpong. Hotel staff very attentive. Rooms are very luxurious with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and all the usual services expected in a 5*. Restaurants were fantastic - especially breakfast which could keep you going all day and the bar on the 39th floor has some spectacular views.
We loved Bangkok and will definately be returning to the Sofitel Silom.
A great value for your money
This is a great hotel, with a very good location (you're near to the skytrain, hence to the Chao Phraya, hence to everything in Bangkok). We stayed there for three nights.
Excellent wide rooms, with gorgeous views on the city skyline; the level of room amenities, furniture and cleanliness is what you would expect from a 5 stars hotel as it is.
They have an excellent breakfast choice, from American favorites to Japanese food. Everything into a very nice and relaxing environment.
The gym is very well equipped, with state-of-the-art machines; there is also a pool, unfortunately it's a bit small and there is not too much space, hence it tends to be a bit busy some times during the day.
Excellent service, very nice, helpful people at Sofitel. And everything for a simply great value for your money. We love Bangkok, and we'll return: and be sure, we're gonna stay here again.
What a delight!
We booked this hotel on the Internet through a Bangkok travel agency.
I kept waiting for the deal to fall through. Thirty Five pounds sterling for B&B for two. Breakfast on the 38th floor was an experience in itself.
Staff were so efficient and pleasant.
It's location is only five minutes from the night market in Patpong and only a few minutes from the Skytrain station.
On our next visit to Bangkok, we know where we are heading!
Simply brilliant!!
I stayed 3 nights here in September on a stopover.
Initially booked a deluxe room, but on arrival was persuaded by the receptionist to upgrade to a Club Room for approx US$60 a night extra.
My advice is to definitely go for the Club Room option. The room was just wonderful - lovely decor and size. Plus, you get the run of the club lounge, allowing you free food, breakfast, cocktails, internet etc etc included in the price.
Definitely a 5* hotel IMO, and a steal for the price.
Great Hotel for Little Money
Its funny how people interpret the 'star rating'. My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel and were very pleased with it -only I wouldn't call it a five star but a four star. In fact in the Qantas Australian brochure it is a 4 1/2 star.
This hotel has been newly refurbished and the entrance and lobby area's interior design is quite funky and trendy. We had a great room with unreal view of the city. As is always in Thailand great service -nothing is too much trouble for the Thai's. Buffet breakfast was pretty good too. Very close to a Sky Train station which we used alot especially if we were wanting to go somewhere around 4-5 in the afternoon when traffic is at a standstill. Close to Patpong night markets too.
And oh so cheap! Isn't it great when you can go to a country and stay in half decent hotel with great service and pay practically nothing!
What you'd expect from a five star
This is a great hotel. As Thailand is so cheap we managed to get a double room at this five star hotel for �40 a night. You can certainly get cheaper accommodation but when luxury is on offer at this price you've got to take it!
The hotel has everything you'd expect in a five star including a swimming pool, spa, gym (why are hotel gyms never more than a few bikes and a treadmill?), about four quality restaurants and a couple of bars. The one on the 37th floor (I think it's called V9 or something) is really nice. Quite a western bar, with western prices, but affordable and it has some of the best views of Bangkok from ceiling to floor windows.
The rooms were great. Spacious, clean, and with lovely, minimalist design touches. The bathrooms have a walk in shower and a separate bath - unheard of in some hotels.
The staff were wonderful - really helpful and charming. It's also in a good location - near the river, close to markets, shops, sights and the skytrain.
I am returning to Thailand next year (I'd recommend that everyone goes at least once in their lifetime, it's incredible!) and I will have no hesitation in returning to the Sofitel.

Healthy Women, Healthy Mothers - An Information Guide - Second Edition (FCI, 1995, 241 p.) |
Chapter Twelve - SOME OBSTETRIC OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES |
For the health and safety of both mother and baby, it is sometimes necessary to deliver the baby by an operation. There are two types of operations most commonly performed: Caesarean section and symphysiotomy.
Figure 12.2: Caesarean
A Caesarean section is an operation in which the abdomen and womb are cut open and the baby and placenta are removed. The womb and abdomen are stitched up and left to heal.
"Classical" or Vertical Incision
If a previous Caesarean section was done with a vertical cut in the uterus, the woman should have a Caesarean section with all future deliveries.
Transverse Incision
If a previous Caesarean section was done with a transverse or horizontal cut in the lower part of the uterus, it may be possible for the woman to deliver normally. However, she should deliver in a hospital in case an operation is necessary.
CAESAREAN SECTION: A Caesarean section is a major operation in which the abdomen and womb are cut open and the baby and placenta are removed. The womb is not removed; it is stitched up and left to heal (see Figure 12.2). The operation has to be performed under general or local anaesthesia to make sure the woman does not feel anything. Such an operation should be performed only in a fully equipped hospital and by someone who has been well trained to perform the procedure. There are several reasons why a Caesarean section might become necessary:
· Prolonged labour - that is, labour that has lasted more than 12-18 hours without any sign that the baby is going to come out safely. This could be due to several reasons, but the most frequent cause of prolonged labour is when there is an obstruction (see Chapter 11).· Abnormal presentation (see Chapter 11).
· Heavy bleeding before delivery (see Chapter 9) or, occasionally, heavy bleeding during labour (see Chapter 11).
· Severe hypertension, pre-eclampsia, or full eclampsia (see Chapters 9 and 11).
· Signs that the baby is in distress, such as a slow or irregular heartbeat.
· A previous Caesarean section. Depending on the type of Caesarean section that was done and the reason it was done, it may be necessary to repeat the Caesarean section. It may be possible for the woman to have a normal delivery through the vagina if the baby is a normal size and is lying head-down, if the woman had only one previous Caesarean section, and if the scar was in the lower part of the womb. Even if a normal delivery is being attempted, it should take place in a hospital in case another Caesarean section becomes necessary.
· Previous pregnancies that have ended in a stillbirth, or diabetes or severe heart disease in the woman.
The risk of dying from a Caesarean section is higher than for a normal delivery, largely because of an increased risk of infection. A Caesarean section should be carried out only if it is really necessary.
SYMPHYSIOTOMY: When labour is obstructed, a symphysiotomy is sometimes performed. In this operation, a small cut is made at the top of the pubic bone so that the bones around the birth canal can be opened a little more to allow the baby to pass through. The operation is performed with anaesthesia.
Summary: Some Obstetric Operations and Procedures Sometimes during labour it is necessary to perform procedures which will facilitate delivery. These should only be performed by properly trained personnel using appropriate equipment. | |
No labour after 42 weeks Slow heartbeat in the baby, or other signs that the baby might be in trouble Pre-eclampsia or diabetes Early rupture of membranes when the baby is near term |
INDUCTION OF LABOUR: Methods include: giving an enema artificial rupture of membranes |
Scar tissue in the vagina due to genital mutilation Signs of distress in the baby |
EPISIOTOMY: A cut is made at the entrance to the vagina to enlarge the opening for delivery. It is sewn up after delivery. Drugs are used to stop the pain. |
Exhaustion on the part of the mother Signs of distress in the baby |
FORCEPS OR VACUUM EXTRACTION: The baby is pulled out of the birth canal using forceps or a vacuum. |
Failure of the placenta to separate from the womb after the baby is born |
MANUAL REMOVAL OF PLACENTA: A doctor or trained midwife uses his or her hand to separate the placenta from the womb. |
Prolonged labour Obstructed labour Heavy bleeding Hypertension/pre-eclampsia/eclampsia Previous Caesarean section (depending on the type of scar) Transverse lie near the due date Fistula during a previous delivery |
CAESAREAN SECTION: The abdomen and womb are cut open and the baby is removed. The abdomen and womb are then stitched closed. Sometimes when labour is obstructed, a symphisiotomy is performed. |

Chelsea's Sheridan Books makes multi-million dollar investment in new printing press
Book printer Sheridan Books has had a presence in Chelsea for more than 35 years. Despite the rise of electronic books and seemingly bleak prospects for the printing industry, the company is investing more than $5.5 million in a new Hewlett Packard ink jet printing press which will allow for easier printing of short run books.
"We have to re-equip ourselves with the right technology to be able to do the short run book production."
Cotter said the old presses required a book to be broken into small sections and then printed. The new press Sheridan has acquired will printing of complete books at one time.
"Now, if we're doing a 320 page book and we're doing 500 of them the pages come off back to back to back without the press having to stop," he said.
The local book printing industry has been going through transition since the late 1990s when what was then BookCrafters merged with Braun Brumfield and became Sheridan Books, Inc., a part of the Sheridan Group. More recently, Edwards Brothers and Malloy, two companies that had been in business for a combined 180-plus years, garnered a Deals of the Year nomination by merging to create one company in an effort to cut overhead costs.
Exterior forces such as the closing of Borders and the economic recession helped make 2008-2010 rough times for the printers, but Cotter said better times have returned to the industry.
"This year has been a complete turnaround," he said. "It's been very robust and we've returned to sales at the level of three or four years ago, and we see it increasing exponentially after we get this press up."
Thanks to the improved sales, Sheridan has added 22 employees in the past few months, bringing the total in Chelsea up to 330, Cotter said. If the technology upgrade brings in the business it is expected to, more jobs will be added at the company in 2013.
The press, a massive structure over 13 feet tall and 66 feet long, will be ready to go in early December. A new room was built to house the press and a folder, the companion machine that takes the sheets of printed paper, cuts them, and folds them into a book. The Chelsea city council approved a nine-year tax abatement for $6.5 million in improvements, including the new press on Oct. 9.
Cotter said the press will allow the company to print orders as small as one or two books, and as large as 10,000. Sheridan processes orders from around the United States and the world, with the bulk of the company's business comes from university presses.
While they are making large capital investments into printing technology, it is not lost on Sheridan that the online book market is growing steadily.
"Publishers and authors make their books, convert them into PDF files, and then send those to us," Cotter said. "We not only print those books, but we can turn the files into 'e-books' for distribution as well."

"Guten Tag"
It is a relaxing time, I just focus on learning German for 30 min. I make tea and fold origami cranes or crochet while listening.
How to pick up chicks in Germany.
I would like to hear more words for things to drink, such as water, tea, coffee, etc.
"Hypnosis plus music to change old habits and ideas"
Yes, our whole family uses it now. It relaxes a person and puts them to sleep.
My daughter has such a difficult time going to sleep. It will usually take her hours to get relaxed enough, even with a bedtime routine. Last night this put her to sleep within minutes. I am hoping that will continue! It works for me.
I like the idea of the music to change ideas on the cellular level rather than drugs.
His voice is so soothing. You trust him right away and will drift off beffore you know it. At least all three of us do.
I plan on using it again and think that it brings on a much more relaxing/deeper sleep.
"Another great Pimsleur French lesson"
Of course we love it.
The other Pimsleur lessons. They are worth the money and time!
The one where you ask about the street or "la rue".
I was impressed when my eight-year-old daughter started answering the narrator in French.
These are a good way for our family to spend time together and relax. Thank you for making these books.
"I love these Pimsleur lessons"
It expands more into the French language without becoming overwhelming.
German Phase 1...it sounds a lot alike. Very helpful for an introduction into a foreign language.
The accent.
I use these lessons to introduce my daughter to foreign language. She has been spattering quite a bit of French lately.
"You have to Hear This Guy's Voice!"
Yes, and again and again:)
He just has a very sexy accent and voice. He relaxes me so much I don't remember much. I just listen and go to sleep.
I think I start listening because his voice sounds so good, but then just enjoy the ride.
Yes, the first part. After that I don't remember.
I woke up in the middle of the night (about 2 AM) and was wide awake. Usually that means I will be up for hours and will wake up with a migraine in the morning. Instead of turning on the light and reading, I remembered Mr. Harrold's Guide to Sleeping and was asleep before I even knew it. For less than $4 you cannot beat the price either.
"Oui, oui! Trey Bien!"
It introduces some new words and brings up previously learned phrases.
I could not find anything that compares to your audio Pimsleur lessons, that is why we buy these even though sometimes we have to purchase the lessons seperately.
Yes, it is a half hour and I listen and practice with my family. We take a lesson and work on it for about a week.
I use the Pimsleur audio foreign language lessons to introduce my daughter to other languages. It is delightful when I hear her speak a phrase or two in every day language.
"We are learning French the affordable audible.com"
I really like these Pimsleur lessons. Having never taken French before, it is interesting to try this and I am glad they take the words apart or I would miss some of the sounds.
Monsieur I believe. He sounds a bit stuffy?
We have only been doing the first part.
Yes. We did Unit 1 and it was just right for a cup of tea and new language.
I find these relaxing.
"Unusual Mystery"
It was about a subject I don't normally read much about.
He read it just right, raising his voice at the times that he should, etc.
It was very interesting and lovely to learn about how a monk wrote down the first music.
"German Expanded"
It added nicely to the previous lessons.
I like the woman Frau, because she is outgoing.
We had a good time saying dot druben and my daughter liked that Herr sounds like hair.
"You Can Do it Too!"
At first listen, it sounds like a difficult language, but the narrator breaks up the words until they are possible for anyone to say.
He was understandable.
Speak like a song.
"German Pimsleur"
It expanded on the previous books and provoked recall of words that might otherwise have been forgotten.
The sounds of the words.
No, Much easier to do a little at a time.
I am surprised that I remember the words so well.

Insider Technologies (ITL) have been designing, developing, testing and maintaining HP NonStop (Tandem) application software since 1989 (including TAL, pTAL, TACL macros, COBOL85, C, C++, NonStop SQL, Guardian and Pathway programming and application development). This even includes our own HP NonStop Tandem products: • MultiBatch – HP NonStop batch job scheduling software developed in TAL, COBOL85, SCOBOL, C++ (Graphical User Interface) and TACL macros accessing job schedule data from an Enscribe database. The application is NonStop and check pointed for failover (in the case of a hardware or software failure) and a large number of the modules run as Pathway servers. • Reflex – Comprehensive HP NonStop monitoring (including BASE24 Classic XPNET), automation and escalation software consisting of NonStop code and Pathway servers with $RECEIVE processing developed in TAL, COBOL85, SCOBOL, C, C++ (GUI also), NonStop SQL and TACL macros. The Reflex database consists of both TMF audited Enscribe files and NonStop SQL tables / indexes. Reflex also enables programmatic interaction with the BASE24 Classic XPNET SERVER-NCP (NCPCOM) Pathway server to provide configuration, status and statistics information for XPNET components; stations, lines, links, processes, devices and nodes. • RTLX Reactor – Real-Time Log Extraction and monitoring product for both TLF (ATM) and PTLF (POS) BASE24 transaction files. The HP NonStop deployed code is developed in C, C++, C# (web browser access) and TAL and relays BASE24 transaction and settlement data across TCP/IP to a Windows Server, populating an SQL Server database. The product is highly extensible to cater for other file formats as required.
ITL have HP NonStop Tandem nodes in-house for software development and maintenance and/or NonStop software can be developed and supported using secured remote logon to customer nominated systems. This can help in reducing project costs typically associated with placing HP NonStop staff on-site for extended periods, e.g. hotel and travelling expenses.
The ITL team - Core HP NonStop Tandem code development, maintenance and third-party software support skills include:
Early NonStop code development and support took place on VLX and CLX hardware. ITL have maintained NonStop software and upgraded code through the various evolutions of Tandem hardware and Guardian operating systems; K-series, S-series (ServetNet) and todays NonStop Integrity and Blade systems. ITL have also successfully completed HP NonStop Blade accreditation tests at the HP offices in Wood Street, London, for a number of our NonStop products. HP NonStop Tandem software development, integration and testing are carried out in-house on our own NonStop systems. These systems are maintained and system managed in line with customer O/S versions by our own NonStop team. ITL also provide HP NonStop software in-house support and outsourced code maintenance (Guardian TAL, pTAL, TACL macros, COBOL85, SCOBOL, C, C++, third-party code libraries, Pathway start-up files etc.) for third-party NonStop products.

She's Uncoachable: One of the Hottest Romanians, Catrinel Menghia
Since I know all you guys follow French Lingerie, Catrinel Menghia has been the face of Lise Charmel since 2005. Menghia is a Romanian model who was discovered at the age of 16 and things became pretty big for her in 2001 when she was a runner up in Ford Model's Supermodel of the World Romania contest.
Other than that I don't know much about her except the fact that I'm Romanian as well. Do you think that's an in? I mean if walked up to her as she was standing with her model friends and said "Hey! I'm Romanian too!" do you think she'd immediately be tempted to blow me?
I'm pretty sure she would.

While the United States is very pet-friendly, that friendliness rarely extends to restaurants and other indoor locations. More and more accommodations are allowing pet owners to bring pets, often for an added fee, but please inquire before you arrive.
In any case, keep your dog on a leash at all times. Some beaches in the area permit dog-walking at certain times of the year, but as a general rule keep dogs off of beaches unless you see signage saying otherwise.

Who is really to blame for that tragedy in Newtown? I feel that his mother is to blame. She knew her son had mental problems and yet she had the guns in the house and he knew it. This would never had happened otherwise. My heart goes out to the families. I also feel that some of the teachers should have a gun available to them. They are all in my prayers.
What kind of true marksmen need an automation gun to down their animals. That's not a sportsman, it's a greedy narcissist killer. We can not reassure our children that there is no such thing as a boogie man anymore. This is a scary statement to make in front of a child, but if they are old enough to understand the horror of Friday, Dec. 14 in Sandy Hook, they don't need much more explaining. Our kids must be told id someone is acting strangely walk away and stay away. If anyone feels threatened tell an adult. Don't feel silly because you tell them. If they don't take you seriously tell another adult. We don't weany our kids growing up suspicious of everyone, but they need to become more cautious in our new world. It's disheartening to say we live on a sick world, but with all the violence on TV, movies, etc, access to drugs. It is better to be safe then sorry. It is possible to have an alarm secretive in a principals office or classroom to connect to the police Department in case of a suspicion or emergency. If so do asap. Don't wait for another horrible tragedy to happen. We have had more than enough innocent lives lost. What are we waiting for, the worst has happened.
Republican hypocrisy: Let it be known that john Boehner and his Republican mavericks/conservatives, refused and rejected the Presidents' offer to not raise taxes on the 98% of Americans. That is upper middle class, the middle and the poor. Reason the Republicans must Protect the upper 2 percent of very wealthy Americans. These are the Greedy and also the ones who caused this great recession....; Let it be known that the republicans and the Tea Party are responsible for the upcoming Deeper recession, just in order to protect the wealthy, their major constituency!
....... And in the End, We are as Good, as What We have Given! ......... Peace with Dignity!
Susan Rice, (Democrat) and Condoleeza Rice (Republican) both candidates for the Sec of State position, Both took Faulty stands because of Very inaccurate Intelligence Reports (Lack of intelligence reports).... Condoleeza Rice received the Republican majority approval, and 4000+ Americans of died due to the false information (No weapons of mass Destruction in Iraq!) and Condolleeza held the Office of State no problem, And Susan Rice was rejected by Republicans -McCain and Graham because she told a witch-hunting committee exactly what Intelligence and the White house told her to say. Problem_ Hypocrisy, hypocrisy and stupidity by the Republican party, on Both nominations!
Joe voted for the illegal war? Didn't Hillary and John Kerry vote to invade Iraq? But you are OK with her being SOS and the pseudo war hero Kerry being in line for the next SOS? Didn't Obama say that Bush debt was unpatriotic, but your messiah added $8 trillion to it? Your logic makes great sense, thanks for sharing.

Sticky Revision: |
Ivo uses Matlab with SBML in his daily routine. There is no way he can maintain the package without that Matlab link. Octave is not a substitute, was tested. We once came up with this approach of having the control file adapted to show and build the libsbml5-matlab package when the development files for Matlab are available and not if not. This way, everything works fine on all architectures, with (amd64 only) Matlab or without. Mathworks had sent me a license for free only to help with Debian packaging when I sponsored the initial package. Maybe we should mention that somewhere and seek some additional permanent way of support through them. Matlab is surprisingly important to many in system biology, so we should not ignore it. I have removed the other uploaders of libsbml5 for the moment. Those wishing to collaborate with Ivo on the maintenance of the SBML packages please have a chat with him, first. Cheers, Steffen
use dependency on swig only
debian/changelog: updated the package to 5.4.1-2 debian/docs is not used
a lot of changes to remove hardcoded dependencies, fix the install process for different architectures (see debian/changelog)
added the dependecy to swig for libsbml5-python re-added debian/control.in - it allows to build libsbml5-matlab, if matlab is found
Debhelper 8; Added Homepage field in debian/control; removed useless template comments in debian/rules
updated to 5.4.1 debian/rules now detects the libsbml-version with dpkg-parsechangelog
updated libsbml to version 5.4.0
Suggesting -dev from examples rather than depending on it.
updated the control.in for libsbml 5.2.0
debian/rules checks now for matlab and modifies the debian/control file
