Robin Hood

download AI (pdf)
Robin Hood is England's greatest folk hero. Everyone knows the story of the outlaw who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Nick Rennison's highly entertaining book begins with the search for the historical Robin. Was there ever a real Robin Hood? Rennison looks at the candidates who have been proposed over the years, from petty thieves to Knights Templar, before moving on to examine the many ways in which Robin Hood has been portrayed in literature and on the screen. He began as the hero of dozens and dozens of late medieval ballads. He appeared in plays by contemporaries of Shakespeare. In the Romantic era Robin was reinvented by Walter Scott as a Saxon champion in the struggle against the Normans. During the nineteenth century, he emerged as a hero in children's literature. More recently he has been portrayed as everything from proto-socialist man of the people to anarchist thug. In the cinema he put in an appearance as early as 1908 and Douglas Fairbanks and then Errol Flynn turned him into the typical hero of Hollywood swashbucklers. In the last twenty years, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe have provided their own very different interpretations of the character. On the small screen, Robin has been the hero of half-a-dozen TV shows from the 1950s series starring Richard Greene, which used many writers blacklisted by Hollywood, via the well-remembered Robin of Sherwood in the 1980s to the recent BBC series. As the twenty-first century marches through its second decade, Robin Hood is still very much with us. He is the subject of graphic novels and computer games. New films are in the offing. Robin is an archetypal hero who, it seems, can never die. This engaging book charts his life so far. Other titles by this author

Here's a s a reminder that often less is more.
Coming from the Democrat campaign, Romneytaxplan.com packs its punch with the precision of a laser beam, trimming away all the usual overhead to deliver a simple message about Romney's evasiveness on details of his tax plan.
This campaign is about scoring a hit, not winning the war. It doesn't burden itself with presenting the pro-Obama rhetoric – it just makes the point quickly and obviously and then shuts up. It's not even very instructive on asking the viewer to take next steps (react, share, etc.) Still, the key to making this campaign work is generating buzz on social media, and it's configured to share with a pre-set teaser:
"I found a site with all the details on Mitt Romney's $5 trillion tax plan. It's as simple as clicking a button."
With 52,000 tweets and more than 600,000 facebook likes, it does seem to be working.

Patch Poll: Boy Scouts Allow Gay Leaders?
The Boy Scouts of America may reconsider its ban on allowing openly gay people to participate. Do you think they should? Take our poll below.
Last week it was announced that the Boy Scouts of America was reconsidering its policy barring openly gay people from participating in the private organization, but just days later announced it was postponing the decision.
That the group was considering the change after taking the issue all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it won its case, was a surprise to many.
We'd like to know what you think about this issue. While the organization is legally entitled to keep gays from its ranks, should they?
Take our poll below, and feel free to post your opinion in the comment box below.

Oklahoma City RedHawks (PCL (1998-present) Big 12 Tournament (1998-2001, 2003, 2005-present) |
Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark[5] opened in 1998 in downtown Oklahoma City's Bricktown district, replacing All Sports Stadium. It is the home of the Oklahoma City RedHawks, the AAA affiliate of the Houston Astros major league baseball team. The park seats 13,066 fans.
The stadium frequently hosts the Big 12 Baseball Tournament. The first Big 12 tournament was held at All Sports Stadium in 1997 before moving to Bricktown in 1998. The tournament has been held at Bricktown every year since, except for 2002 and 2004, when it was contested at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, the home park of the Texas Rangers.[6] It is also home to two games of the Bedlam Series, in which the Oklahoma Sooners face the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Contents |
Construction [edit]
Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on October 10, 1995,[1] but actual construction did not begin until August of 1996 due to escalating construction costs and the redesign of the ballpark by architects.[7] The ballpark opened on April 16, 1998 with the RedHawks falling to the Edmonton Trappers 6-3 in front of a sell-out crowd of 14,066 fans.[8]
Name changes [edit]
The stadium was to be called "Southwestern Bell Park". When the general public learned that Bricktown wasn't part of the name, there was an uproar. Due to public pressure, the stadium opened as Southwestern Bell Bricktown Ballpark (later SBC Bricktown Ballpark after Southwestern Bell's name change). In March of 2006, the ballpark was renamed AT&T Bricktown Ballpark following the merger between SBC and Old AT&T. After AT&T reevaulated its sports marketing strategy, they gave up naming rights, resulting in the RedHawks Field at Bricktown designation.
On April 4, 2012, it was announced that Newcastle Gaming Center (owned by the Chickasaw Nation) had purchased naming rights to the ballpark, with the new Newcastle Field at Bricktown name effective immediately.[9] However following public uproar over the prior name change, one day later on April 5, 2012 (the opening day of the 2012 RedHawks season), Newcastle Gaming Center announced that it would once again rename the ballpark as the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.[10][11]
Notable Games [edit]
- On July 10, 2002, when a crowd of 11,343 watched the Pacific Coast League shutout the International League 5-0 the 15th Triple A All-Star Game.[2]
- From 2006 to 2010, it hosted the Triple-A Baseball National Championship Game, which was originally called the Bricktown Showdown (2006-08). The single-game playoff between the champions of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues effectively serves as a winner-take-all World Series game between the two Triple-A leagues. The first one was played on September 19, 2006, when the Tucson Sidewinders beat the Toledo Mud Hens 5-2 before a crowd of 12,572.[2]
- Two exhibition games between the St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles were played here in 2005, while the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers played a single pre-season game at Bricktown in 2008.[2]

This week's Food Network Friday was chosen by Anna Karenina of On Cardamom and Cast Iron. The recipe is originally from Emeril and you can see it here. My version didn't require many changes. This soup is hearty and very autumnal. Interestingly, I'm not a big fan of squash (but I keep trying), and I still enjoyed this soup. If I didn't know it had squash in it, I never would have tasted it. But it did give it a wonderful creamy texture. The recipe below is for a half recipe.
Smoked Sausage, Butternut Squash and Wild Rice Soup
Serves 4 generously
1 butternut squash about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper
6 cups vegetable broth, divided
1 1/4 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup wild rice
6 ounces vegan sausages (like these) or store-bought, cut into 1/4-inch
1 teaspoon liquid smoke (next time use 2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (next time use 1 teaspoon)
1 cup corn kernels
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large roasting pan, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Puree the squash with 1 cup of broth until smooth. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add 1/4 cup onion and the rice. Saute about 4 minutes, then add 2 cups of broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to simmer for one hour. (See my note below on this.)
In a soup pot, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, liquid smoke and paprika. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until browning. Add the remaining onions and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cook about 3 minutes, then add 2 1/2 cups broth and squash mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and partially cover. Simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings, then stir in the parsley and serve.
Notes on this recipe:
1. The rice – no way did I need 2 cups of broth for 1/2 cup of rice. I'm not sure if it's an error, or if Emeril uses magically absorbing rice. I ended up draining out the broth and using that to add to the soup. So you may need to play with the amount of broth actually needed for the soup, or cook the rice differently.
2. I didn't have smoked sausage, so adding the liquid smoke and smoked paprika did the job nicely.
3. I omitted the cream from the original recipe. It was so rich and had an incredible texture, that I just didn't feel it was needed.
4. The recipe needed a little something more and I'm not sure what. Maybe a little lemon juice? It seems like the top end was missing.
Would I make it again? Yes, I think I would. It would be a good soup to serve for a fancy autumn dinner party, or a first course for Thanksgiving.
Be sure to check out Anna Karenina's take on this recipe here. Interestingly, we both dropped the cream. Mine is way chunkier and I'm not sure why. Thanks for such a great recipe choice.
If anyone else joined in with this week's Food Network Friday, please post your link in the comments! We'd love to see what you made whether you followed this recipe or picked your own.
Next Food Network Friday will be November 13th. Any suggestions?

Active Standard ASTM D4644 Developed by Subcommittee: D18.12 |Book of Standards Volume: 04.08
The test method is used to estimate qualitatively the durability of weak rocks in the service environment.(1-7).
This test method is used to assign quantitative durability values to weak rocks. A primary example is the Franklin Rating System (1).
Note 1—The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling, inspection, and so forth. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D 3740 does not in itself assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the slake durability index of a shale or other similar rock after two drying and wetting cycles with abrasion.
1.2 All observed and calculated values shall conform to the guidelines for significant digits and rounding established in Practice D 6026.
1.2.1 The method used to specify how data are collected, calculated, or recorded in this standard is not directly related to the accuracy to which the data can be applied in design or other uses, or both. How one applies the results obtained using this standard is beyond its scope.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

BUFFALO, NY – After scoring 14 runs in the series opener yesterday, the University at Buffalo baseball team managed just three runs, falling to Bowling Green on Friday afternoon, 6-3. The loss is a big hit to Buffalo's playoff hopes, but is still alive following Akron's 15-2 loss to Kent State this afternoon. Buffalo needs to win tomorrow and have Akron lose to clinch the final spot in the 2012 MAC Tournament.
The Bulls scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the second as junior Tom Murphy led off the inning with a double down the left field line. A single from Alex Baldock drove Murphy in to give Buffalo the 1-0 edge.
The Falcons got on the board in the top of the fourth off Buffalo starter Jeff Thompson as they scored a pair of runs to take the lead. However, UB responded in the bottom half of the inning as Murphy led off the frame with a home run to left center field. Baldock followed with a single and was moved to third on a wild pitch and a ground out. He came in to score on a bloop single to right field by Thomas Richards, who was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double.
The Bulls had regained the lead at 3-2, but Bowling Green came back in the fifth inning with three runs against Thompson, who was a little unlucky since three of the hits never left the infield, including a couple of bunt singles up the third base line. Bowling Green added another run in the eighth inning off the UB bullpen for the 6-3 final score.
Murphy went 2-for-4 with the home run and a double, while Baldock went 2-for-3 with a run batted in and a walk. Thompson allowed 11 hits and five runs in 6.1 innings of work, striking out two. Matt Malewitz picked up the victory for Bowling Green as he pitched 8.1 innings, striking out six.
The Bulls and Falcons will be back at it tomorrow afternoon in the rubber game of the series at 1:00 pm. Prior to first pitch the Bulls will honor their senior class.

Neil Armstrong dies aged 82
Neil Armstrong, who made the "giant leap for mankind" as the first human to set foot on the moon, has died. He was 82.
His family said in a statement that the cause of his death last night was "complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures."
He had undergone heart bypass surgery earlier this month in Cincinnati, near where he lived. His recovery had been going well, according to those who spoke with him after the surgery, and his death came as a surprise to many close to him, including his fellow Apollo astronauts.
The family did not say where he died. A quiet, private man, at heart an engineer and crack test pilot, Armstrong made history on July 20th, 1969, as the commander of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the mission that culminated the Soviet-American space race in the 1960s.
President John F. Kennedy had committed the nation "to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to earth."
It was done with more than five months to spare. On that day, Armstrong and his co-pilot, Col. Edwin E Aldrin Jr., known as Buzz, steered their lunar landing craft,
Eagle, to a level, rock-strewn plain near the southwestern shore of the Sea of Tranquility.
It was touch and go the last minute or two, with computer alarms sounding and fuel running low. But they made it.
"Houston, Tranquility Base here," Armstrong radioed to mission control. "The Eagle has landed.""Roger, Tranquility," mission control replied.
"We copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."
The same could have been said for hundreds of millions of people around the world watching on television. A few hours later, there was Armstrong bundled in a white spacesuit and helmet on the ladder of the landing craft.
Planting his feet on the lunar surface, he said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." (His words would become the subject of a minor historical debate, as to whether he said "man" or an indistinct "a man.")
Soon Aldrin joined Armstrong, bounding like kangaroos in the low lunar gravity, one sixth that of earth's, while the command ship pilot, Michael Collins, remained in orbit about 60 miles overhead, waiting their return.
In all, 12 American astronauts walked on the moon between then and the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
The Apollo 11 mission capped a tumultuous and consequential decade. The '60s in America had started with such promise, with the election of a youthful president, mixed with the ever-present anxieties of the cold war.
Then it touched greatness in the civil rights movement, only to implode in the years of assassinations and burning city streets and campus riots.
But before it ended, human beings had reached that long-time symbol of the unreachable.
The moonwalk lasted two hours and 19 minutes, long enough to let the astronauts test their footing in the fine and powdery surface - Armstrong noted that his bootprint was less than an inch deep - and set up a television camera and scientific instruments and collect rock samples.
In a statement from the White House, president Barack Obama said, "Neil was among the greatest of American heroes."
"And when Neil stepped foot on the surface of the moon for the first time," the president added, "he delivered a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten."
Charles F Bolden Jr, the current Nasa administrator, said: "As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking humankind's first small step on a world beyond our own."
Mr Bolden also noted that in the years after the moonwalk, Armstrong "carried himself with a grace and humility that was an example to us all."

Kelsey Chow
You may know Kelsey Chow from Disney XD's Pair of Kings. In this interview you'll find out how she got her start as an actress, the dirt on her co-stars, Mitchel Musso and Doc Shaw, and the world issue she is passionate about.
Q: Tell me about your character, Mikayla, on Pair of Kings.
Q: How would you describe Mitchel Musso, your co-star on Pair of Kings?
Kelsey: Mitchel's actually become a really good friend of mine through doing Pair of Kings now for two years. He's also really dedicated to his music, so he's definitely a hard-working guy. And he's very, very sweet. And he and Doc goof off all the time on set. I guess off camera he's like a family guy. He absolutely adores his brothers and his mom and his dad and his friends. They come to all the tapings and you can really tell he looks up to his older brother and really supports his younger brother, which I definitely admire.
Q: What about Doc? How would you describe him?
Kelsey: Doc is. . . well he gets mad because I call him my little brother because technically I'm like a couple of months older. But Doc's amazing. We're actually really close too. We did a Friends for Change spot on the Disney Channel this past fall and it was close to my hometown in South Carolina. So Doc and his mom came to hang out with my family at the beach which was a lot of fun. He is just hilarious in everything that he does. He's extremely intelligent. You know, his opinions on anything, you want to hear.
Q: When did you know that you wanted to be a performer?
Kelsey: Definitely community theatre. It was my very first show. I was in Ragtime, and actually I was taking a class at the theatre and the director stopped me and was like, "Hey you, audition for this show. The auditions are tonight." And I ran to my mom and I was like, "Ok, we've got to prepare a song." And in the audition I barely even knew the words. It was terrible, but I ended up getting the role. I was in seventh grade at the time and I fell in love with it – I made really, really great friends and I loved being on the stage. I really, really loved it and I knew I wanted to pursue it.
Q: Did you have any problems when you were in school back then?
Kelsey: It was really hard because of the hours. We were working from July to mid-October, and so I would have to go right after school for rehearsal. Doors open at 7 and then, you know, Ragtime is such a long show that we wouldn't get out until like 11. So I would be up at 2 in the morning trying to get all my work done and then, you know, be up at 8 for school the next day, and that was a little challenging. My friends were so supportive. They all came out to see the show. That totally meant so much to me. And you know, I missed out on a couple of social things, but of course it was worth it.
Q: Describe yourself as a student in middle school.
Kelsey: I was a total like nerd perfectionist. I wanted to make sure that all my homework was done, that I checked it three times, and everything else. But at the same time I loved hanging out with my friends, so I really tried hard to kind of balance both. Then you know in eighth grade, I went out for like the track team, so I really tried to maintain a good balance, but I was definitely a brainiac for sure.
Q: Any first day of school memories?
Kelsey: I'm always late, which is bad. [Laughter.] I think it's because I kind of overthink it. The first day of school was always really, really exciting to me. Gosh, I was such a dork. I was so excited about buying school supplies and I had to make sure that they were all ready in my book bag. We had uniforms at my school so I had to make sure even that was perfect. So I guess in doing that, in the preparation, I was always kind of late. I was always the one in class they'd call, and I'd be running in to class.
Q: Now you're studying Global Studies at Columbia University. Why did you choose that?
Kelsey: My grandmother and my grandfather were doctors in the World Health Organization, and so my dad actually grew up in Libya. Then he became a physician and has always worked with a lot of humanitarian efforts. I even remember at Christmas time we would prepare care packages and my dad would take them to Guatemala or Honduras. So it's just something that I definitely feel passionate about. I think that every person deserves basic health care. So in terms of Global Health, I'm more interested in the policy of that and, you know, doing anything that I can to push that movement.
She's a beautiful, successful actress, AND she's making the world a better place. I love her!

The Jewish Agency will help bring 216 members of the Menashe tribe from India to Israel. They will undergo a conversion process by Israel's Rabbinate authority.
The immigrants will be sent to absorption centers in Carmiel and Nazareth. This is the largest group of that tribe that has been moved to Israel.
This project was largely funded by the "Friendship Fund" headed by Rabbi Yehiel Eckstein which allocated $1.5 million for the project.

In 1990 I travelled through Africa for one year and then together with my girlfriend I backpacked through Latin America for two and a half years. These trips were amazing, far away lands for us with interestingly different cultures, people and landscapes. But you do not really need to go to faraway lands to have an awesome holiday. That was proved by our last holiday, which we spent in our own province of North-Holland. In two weeks we hiked from couchsurf address to couchsurf address. The result was one of our best holidays ever!
Does this sound familiar: you travel abroad and meet people who have visited your own country, and they've seen things, close to where you live, and you have NEVER been there!!! That happend to us sereral times last 2,5 years. Two famous attractions are the Keukenhof, famous for it's tulips, and the cheese market of Alkmaar. So that's what we did. The tulips we did on our own, but the cheese market we did together with Paul. We met Paul when he was working as a guide for the Quetzaltrekkers in Xela, Guatemala. A volunteering organization raising money for street children. He was our guide on the Sanitaquito trip (see pictures here). Now he came to Holland, so we could guide him to some typical Dutch treats like the cheese market and the world famous Bokketochie!
It's saterday evening. Our last evening in Holland, in the house of my parents. Tomorrow, we'll fly back to Buenos Aires. We planned to spend the december holidays in december with friends and family. But we went a little earlier than planned, because my grandmother was dying. After the funeral and all heavy emotions that come with something like that we 'did' the holiday-parties in a very high speed. To give you a little impression of (way to warm) december in Holland, we're writing this article about our december in Holland.
YES!!! It is still posible to get into the famous San Pedro jail in La Paz. Previously, you could get a tour, but that's over now. Now you have to do a little more work, but it's worth it. But... be quick, because rumours go that the government first wants to get rid of the foreigners in the jail and second, transfer the building into a hospital. And all what's left then is the famous book Marching Powder, to give you an idea how it's like inside.
Machu Picchu is one of the highlights of Peru and one of the most expensive. If you look in guidebooks and go to the tourist office in Cuzco they will tell you that there are only two ways of getting to Machu Piccu, by train, the cheapest option 44 USD return, or hiking the Inca trail or other hikes offered by the tour agencies, which all are very expensive.
By looking on the thorntree of LP we found another way, taking busses to Santa Maria, Santa Teresa and Hidroelectrico and walking the last 10 km to Aguas Calientes. This will cost about 8 USD. And because we didn't wanted to return the way we came we walked from Aguas Calientes to Km 82 for free. from there you can take a bus (1 SOL = 33 USDcent) to Ollantaytambo or decide to walk the last kilometers.
We did Ecuador very quick, "just" 6 weeks! For us that is VERY quick. And it even included 18 days on the Galápagos. But that was then absolute a highlight of our trip through Ecuaodor; animals where ever you looked. Like the dolphins you see on this picture on the left, 10 dolphins playing around our daytrip-boat to Bartolomé. We did not do the Galápagos on a cruise, but independent. Bas already wrote an article about that. In this article we give you insight in where we went and what we did in Ecuador.
Galápagos is a great experience but also an expensive one. If you start orientating, you soon discover the prices of cruises start around 1000 USD for a 8 day tour. Not a real budget option for many people. And because most people think that a cruise is the only option to "do" the Galapagos, they skip it entirely. But... you CAN do it on your own, there are budget accomodations, there are boats between the islands, and without doing the more-day-tours you cán see a lot. Because most people don't know that we wrote this article.
We had a lot of discussions on the thorntree discusion forum, people thought we had the opinion that doing it "our" way was better. But, we do NOT want to say that, we don't want to say that doing a tour is a waste of your money. But ... not all people want or can afford these tours. We enjoyed our way very much, very relaxed and we saw a lot. But ofcourse, by cruise you get to places you can not go on your own. But on the other hand, we've been to places where the cruise-people don't go. So, maybe the best way is, to do both ways, by cruise AND on your own.
In this article with Panama City Tips, we'll give you info about a very nice hostel, a superfast and cheap internet place, and cheap, filling and traditional Panamanian food "Mamallena".
Mamallena BackpackersMamallena is not only the name of food, it's also the name of a new hostel in Panama City. Started by a Belgium guy Xavier and his Panamanian girlfriend Isabel. As always with our tips, it's not mentioned in the guidebooks, but ABSOLUTELY worth going. It's clean, spacey, has good beds, includes breakfast and internet, located in a nice, safe area with shops etc. and just has a very nice atmosphere. Especially that atmosphere makes people come back. Right now they have 2 dorms with airco, a kitchen, a big terrace, and livingroom with cable tv. To find it, look in the guidebooks for the Voyager, Mamallena is located right next to it. See also their Mamallena website, or our fotoalbum of Mamallena pictures.

This is smart: Seconds opens SMS channel to retailers, merchants
Nick Hughes, the CEO of Seconds, has the best VC pickup line I've ever heard: "Last year, 2 trillion SMS messages were sent in the U.S., and not one reached a local business."

Paper/media advice for 44" HP Z2100 DesignJet
Likes # 0
Posted January 23, 2013 at 11:28AM
Hi All
I have recently purchased an HP DesignJet Z2100 44" so we have the ability for A0 printing. This is mainly for posters for the time being. My plan was to have 2-4 weeks of self training and a chance to get familiar with the printer and how i need it to work etc and to also read up on the best materials to use for it - this is still my plan but i have suddenly been asked for a few prints ASAP.
Basically can someone recommend what paper roll i should buy for some A0 poster prints. these will be colour prints with text and images but there is no need for a glossy look etc.
Any advice would be most welcome.

Looking at business news and consumer issues from every angle
The Columbus Dispatch - December 31, 2012 02:25 PM
It happens every year at this time: People make resolutions to get fit or lose weight, then sign up for a gym membership. But inevitably, a few weeks or months later, people want to quit or have situations arise that they didn't anticipate.
The Ohio Attorney General's office is out today with a word of caution for those who have decided to commit to a membership. Bottom line: Read and understand everything and make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before signing on the dotted line.
Here are his tips for avoiding mistakes:
Attorney General Mike DeWine today reminded consumers to read the fine print before joining a
gym or a health club in the New Year.
"Many Ohioans will be resolving to lose weight or get healthy in 2013," DeWine said. "Those
are great goals, but it's important not to get caught up in the hype and forget to read the fine
print of a contract. You don't want to be surprised months later when you're paying more than
expected for your membership or you can't cancel when you want."
Before signing a contract, consumers should understand:
• Total cost, including sales tax
• If certain services, such as child care or group fitness classes, cost
• Cancellation policies
• Whether the membership includes access to other locations of the same gym
• Whether personal training services are covered under a separate contract
• Whether verbal agreements have been included in the written contract
• Length of the contract, which should not exceed three years
• How payments will be applied, such as automatic account withdrawal
Under Ohio's Prepaid Entertainment Contracts Act, consumers have three business days to
cancel contracts for dance studio lessons, dating services, martial arts training, and health spa
services, such as gym memberships. Cancellations must be in writing and must be postmarked by
midnight of the third business day after the first service is available.
If the facility has not opened for business when the consumer signs the contract, the
consumer's right to cancel extends to seven days after the first service under the contract is
Consumers who want to cancel should send their cancellation notices via certified mail with a
return receipt requested. This will give them proof the notice was sent to and received by the
business. Consumers also should keep copies of the original contract, the cancellation notice, and
the return receipt in case of any problems.
Consumers who believe they have been treated unfairly should file a complaint with the Ohio
Attorney General's Office at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov or 1-800-282-0515.
As it turns out, we're a bit confused about understanding what is covered in our homeowner's insurance policy.
Kroger customers can double their fuel points by shopping on weekends, this summer. The Cincinnati-based grocer will double the points earned with grocery purchases on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays -- for a maximum of $1 off per gallon at the chain's gas stations -- through its 2x Fuel Points Weekends promotion. You also can save up to 10 cents a gallon at participating Shell stations.
They don't find this funny.

The All-Stars were challenged to be the creative directors of some of the most iconic dances ever done on Dancing with the Stars. Let's see how they made out.
Drew & Anna: This team chose the very first dance from the very first season for their iconic dance. Wind machines help kick up a storm of sexy dancing as Drew and Anna do their hot cha cha. Len felt they had great balance as well as terrific content. Bruno made a comparison between Drew and Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. Carrie Ann loved the sexy Anna that Drew brought out. Trip 8s gives them a score of 24 which is their highest of the season to date.
Gilles & Peta: The team chose to do the tango done by Erin and Maks in Season 10. Gilles begins the dance by being suspended high above the ballroom floor. He eventually lands in Peta's arms to twist and turn before landing in a big bed. Bruno thought it was a strong, dominant dance but Gilles lost his footing a few times. Carrie Ann says he's so good at the drama but they were a little out of sync. Len thought the footwork could have been better but he liked the menace of the dance. Three 8.5s gives them a total of 25.5 for the night.
Melissa & Tony: The team planned to take some major chances during rehearsals as they tackle an iconic samba to the tune of "Conga." The routine ends with some fancy legwork and a lot of streamers. Carrie Ann thought everything was fantastic in a stellar routine. Len thought it was busy, refreshing and satisfying. Bruno thought each step was more complicated than the others and they did them all like stars. Trip 9s gives them a total of 27 for the night and the high score for the season so far.
Apolo & Karina: Karina starts out the dance in statue form before coming to life and falling into Apolo's arms as they do a fine foxtrot to "Fever." This is something Gilles did during his season. Len says there was a fluidity of music though he would have liked a tad more in holds. Still, he thought it was great overall. Bruno said it was classy but felt Apolo tensed at times. Carrie Ann feels like this will be one of those memorable dances that will live on for a long time. 9, 8 and 8.5 gives them a score of 25.5 for the night.
Kelly & Valentin: Kelly picked the paso doble done by her partner's brother, Maks, in a past season. There are some mad matador moments in the slick, hot routine that ends with flames shooting skyward in the background. The crowd goes wild. Bruno says this was a defining performance and he's tingling with pleasure. Carrie Ann says they are the couple to watch as there's something magical happening. Len wants to know where that fabulous dance came from. Trip 9s gives them a total of 27 and a tie for high score of the night.
Kirstie & Maks: Kirstie picked Carson Kressley's cha cha where he had some "Moves Like Jagger" for her iconic dance. As you may have guessed, this forced Maks to channel his inner Mick. Just call him Maks Jagger. Carrie Ann thought it was the most fun she had all night and this was Kirstie's best dance of the season. Len thought it was the whole package. Bruno thought Maks looked like an extra from Boogie Nights and agrees this was the most fun he's had all season. Trip 8s gives them a total of 24 and their highest score of the season.
Sabrina & Louis: Sabrina and Louis turn up the heat with their hot paso doble with some slick moves, high kicks and a fantastic finish. Len felt it was full of risks as well as great technique. Bruno thought there was maximum firepower from a woman who is such a good dancer. Carrie Ann, however, felt that while there was outstanding dancing in the routine there was nothing surprising. This draws the ire of the crowd. 8.5, 8.5 and 8.5 gives them a total of 25.5 for the night
Emmitt & Cheryl: The paso doble is again an iconic dance choice. This time, Emmitt and Cheryl are the ones kicking things up on the dance floor. The routine ends with Emmitt doing a super long slide across the dance floor through Cheryl's legs. Bruno felt he really got the flavor of the dance. He just needs to watch his shoulders. Carrie Ann says Emmitt is a human torpedo and is back in the game. Len says Emmitt has presence and likes how he attacks the floor, but felt the routine lacked a bit of finesse. 8.5, 8 and 8.5 gives them a total of 25 for the night.
Helio & Chelsie: Helio chooses a quickstep done by one of his current competitors, Apolo Anton Ohno, for his iconic dance. He dons a pinstripe to do some Big Bad Voodoo Daddy moves with Chelsie. Carrie Ann thinks Helio is the quickstep king but he did get caught in Chelsie's dress. Len says the he deserves to be back next week even with the issue they had. Bruno thought the dance was great until the dress miscue. 8.5, 8.5 and 8.5 gives them a 25.5 for the night.
Bristol & Mark: It was an awkward rehearsal week for this team. Bristol broke down in tears feeling like Mark maybe feels like he got stuck with her as a partner when he could have had Sabrina or Shawn. Mark tries to assure her that's not the case. They regroup to hit a dance floor that looks like a chess board as they make their moves to across the squares. Len thought there was plenty of attack in what was easily Bristol's best dance. Bruno felt her lines were better than ever. Carrie Ann says that Bristol is proving herself to be a worthy competitor. 7.5, 7.5 and 7.5 gives them at total of 22.5 for their highest score so far.
Shawn & Derek: Shawn and Derek finish off the night with a rockin' quickstep to Royal Crown Revenue's "Hey Pachuco." They bounce, they spin and they fly all over the ballroom before falling off the stairs into the band pit. The crowd loves it. Bruno calls them the Incredibles and feels it may be the best dance he's ever seen. It gave Carrie Ann happy feet. Although they broke the rules, she also feels it was the best dance she's seen. Len says that he's never enjoyed a routine more but must deduct points for breaking the rules. 9, 8, 9.5 gives them a score of 26.5 for the night.
On the Results Show, the teams will be picking the dances for their competitors for the next week. Speaking of next week, Paula Abdul will be in the house as a guest judge. Wonder how Len will compare to Simon.

There's a heady femininity in Felicity Plunkett's Vanishing Point. Taken as a whole, the work creates a semiotic discourse that is so rich with jouissance that I'm reminded strongly of the Helene Cixous' edict "Write yourself. Your body must be heard." (The Laugh of the Medusa). This is Plunkett's unique style — to take the reader deep within the gestural, rhythmic moment of the body, desconstructing and rebuilding in such a way that something new arises. The work is set up in three sections, each pivoting around the notion of 'flakes'. It's an evocative word, conjuring different associations — from the trivial, as in flakes of skin, bits of nothingness, tiny hints of something that is almost inconsequential at face value, to the more intense idea of disintegration, loss, flaking away, aging, and attempting to piece together that which can't be reconstructed.
"Flakes of a Dream" is, in many ways, the most harsh of the three sections. It opens with the terrible guilt of the Atom Bomb in "Journey of a Dead Man": "Atomic radiance/ bursts onto your tongue like ridicule." The work progresses through the wordplay mourning of sitting shiva and Shiva the Hindu destroyer — bereavement, longing, and renewal taking the personal into the realm of the universal. It's not just the poet's voice that becomes personal. It's also Robert Oppenheimer's voice, the Hindu God Shiva's voice, the voice of the mourning wife, and a myriad of guises from mother, a child watching a father die - "My feelings' syntax made no sense." ("Learning the Bones"), to a grown woman dodging love's commitment:
Your own abjection excites and nauseates you
as you raise your arm
higher, and wait
to lose yourself in gravity. ("Flakes Shaking Free")
The language is tense, intense, and painful, but so taut and fresh that almost every line could be pulled out and recited on its own to powerful effect: "The rhapsodic divorces the epiphanic." ("Cottonwoods Screen Japan"). Though the overall impact of this chapter is mourning, loss, and a dream that is pursued at the edges of memory, there is always a central figure of life — the speaker standing amidst her destruction. Sitting Shiva progresses to the smashing of glass at a Jewish wedding — the symbolism of the smashed glass functioning in its traditional role of a reminder of loss amidst celebration:
Your shivaistic tongue soaped,
your bride-silent eyes averted:
there is no washing away. ("The Smashing of the Glass")
Behind every poem in this section is violence, sometimes subtle, as in the hint of annihilation against the tenderness of motherhood in "Ferrying", or the more explicit as in the seven sections of "Your Violent Past": "eyes closed against the rapturous/violence of that fire."

In this example we are going to set some movies in the attribute var. The var attribute in <c:set> is used for setting attributes variables. It works like <jsp:setProperty> tag but by using <jsp:setProperty> we can only set the property of a bean. But if we want to set the value of a Map, then there we should use <c:set> tag.
In this example the value which we have set in the var attribute of the <c:set> core action tag will be retrieved by using the <cout> tag which is used to display the information on the browser. It is same as declaration directive <%=------%> in jsp. We can also show the output in other way also. For this we are using the core action tag <c: forEach> which we are using for the iteration of the movies.
The code of the program is given below:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>   <title>String Collection Example</title>   Collection Example <c:set var="movienames" value="Sholay, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Awaara, Mughal-e-Azam, Deewar, Zanjeer, Anand, KKrish" />
Input Movies:

 <c:out value="${movienames}" />

Now we are iterating the movies

 <c:forEach var="movie" items="${movienames}"> <c:out value="${movie}" />
 </c:forEach>   |
The output of the program is given below:

In the piecewise affine framework, trajectories evolve among hyperrectangles in the state space. A qualitative description of the dynamics - useful for models of genetic networks - can be obtained by viewing each hyperrectangle as a node in a discrete system, so that trajectories follow a path in a transition graph. In this paper, a probabilistic interpretation is given for the transition between two nodes A and B, based on the volume of the initial conditions on hyperrectangle A whose trajectories cross to B. In an example consisting of two intertwinned negative loops, this probabilistic interpretation is used to predict the most likely periodic orbit given a set of parameters, or to find parameters such that the system is controlled with a high probability to desired periodic orbit.

Architect Earl Young designed more than two dozen fairytale stone cottages around Charlevoix in the 1930's and 40's, often referred to as "hobbit houses." This video tour of the exteriors of some of Young's slanty-roofed dwellings displays the thick wooden shingles topping unique structures and details crafted from fieldstone, limestone and boulders hauled in from an Onaway quarry.
Each of these 27 structures begs closer examination, and a leisurely walking tour along Charlevoix's crooked, tree-lined streets is the best way to catch a peek into Young's fantasy world. Pick up a map from the Charlevoix Area Chamber of Commerce (109 MASON, 231-547-2101, charlevoix.org) to begin your tour. Start with the southern cluster of homes overlooking the Lake Michigan shoreline. The enchanting homes are privately owned, but they still have great curb appeal—so practice a no-trespassing policy and admire from the end of the driveway.
As you walk the route, keep your eyes open for Young home look-alikes. Some Charlevoix houses imitate the famed architect's quiet style and sloping rooflines. The triangular block bordered by Grant, Park and Clinton Streets is a pure pie-shaped wedge of classic Young designs.
Earl Young had no degree in architecture and no background in construction. He was an insurance salesman and a real estate developer whose fanciful, flowing houses were never really discovered outside admirers in Northern Michigan. Just like Frank Lloyd Wright, Young felt that his structures needed to blend with their natural surroundings as well as utilize construction materials that were indigenous to the region.
While Earl Young's hobbit houses are viewed only from the exterior, you can get a taste of the interiors by making Stafford's Weathervane Restaurant on the river in Charlevoix your dinner or lunch destination. In the 1950's, Young transformed an old gristmill into an elegant riverside bistro, now Stafford's Weathervane Restaurant (106 Pine River Ln., 231-547-4311, staffords.com), and completed the ambiance with nautical touches and century-old street lamps from Copenhagen. Don't miss the centerpiece—an impressive stone fireplace—but ask for a seat on the terrace for your twilight repast.
