The dollar headed for its biggest monthly gain in more than a year as unemployment claims fell to the lowest since 2006 before a jobs report forecast to show a sixth month of 200,000-plus gains.
The U.S. currency (NYBOT:DXU14) has risen versus all of its 16 major counterparts in July as signs of a strengthening U.S. economy spurred traders to boost predictions for higher Federal Reserve interest rates. India's rupee (CME:H3U14) weakened on concern capital inflows to emerging markets will slow as the Fed cuts bond purchases. Australia's dollar (CME:A6U14) fell to an eight-week low after building approvals unexpectedly declined.
"The dollar is at new highs -- this is the move people have been waiting for," said Marc Chandler, the chief currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in New York. "We have stronger U.S. data, and the Fed getting closer to its mandate."
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against 10 major counterparts, rose a sixth day, adding 0.2% to 1,022.30 at 9:32 a.m. New York time. It has climbed 1.9% in July to wipe out a 1.6% first-half loss, and is set for the biggest monthly gain since May 2013.
The dollar rose 0.1% to $1.3387 per euro after appreciating to $1.3367 yesterday, the strongest since Nov. 12. Its 2.2% advance this month is the most since February 2013. The U.S. currency added 0.1% to 102.92 yen for a 10th day of gains. The euro (CME:E6U14) was little changed at 137.77 yen.
Winners, Losers
Indonesia's rupiah rose the most this month among the dollar's 31 major peers, adding 2.6% as Joko Widodo was elected president. No other currency gained as much as 0.5%.
Russia's ruble (CME:R6U14) led decliners, dropping 4.6% in July amid turmoil in neighboring Ukraine. Chile's peso fell 3.7% and the Hungarian forint slipped 3.4%.
Australia's dollar weakened versus most of 16 major peers today after the Bureau of Statistics said building approvals fell 5% in June. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimated they would be unchanged.
The Aussie dropped 0.5% to 92.88 U.S. cents and slid as low as 92.79 cents, the weakest level since June 5. The currency has declined 1.6% versus the greenback in July, set for the first monthly loss since January.
India's currency fell the most in seven weeks on speculation the conclusion of the Fed's bond purchases will curtail demand for emerging-market assets.
The rupee fell 0.8% to 60.56 per dollar, the biggest one-day decline since June 13.
Job Growth
The dollar extended gains as the four-week average of jobless claims, considered a less volatile measure than the weekly figure, dropped to 297,250, the lowest since April 2006, from 300,750 the prior week, the Labor Department reported.
Claims in the period ended July 26 climbed to 302,000, in line with the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg, from a revised 279,000 the prior week that was the lowest since 2000.
U.S. employers added 231,000 workers in July and the jobless rate stayed at an almost six-year low of 6.1%, according to Bloomberg News surveys before tomorrow's Labor Department data. The world's biggest economy expanded at a 4% annualized pace last quarter, after shrinking 2.1% in the previous three months, the Commerce Department said yesterday.

Construction of the 18th and R streets parking structure and private housing development will begin March 1.
The project will displace faculty, staff and student parking in the 18th and R streets parking lot (located between 18th Street and North Antelope Valley Parkway and Q and R streets). It will also close an intercampus bus stop (StarTran route 24) on the north side of R Street between 17th and 18th streets. An alternate bus stop for west-bound passengers will be located at the corner of 17th and Q streets.
Faculty and staff Area A parking is available in the lot south of the Beadle Center or at 17th and Vine streets, east of Sandoz Hall. Student Area C and R parking is available in the lot south of the Beadle Center and south of the 900 building at 21st and Vine streets.
The mixed-use university parking and residential facility was approved by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents in October 2012. The parking structure will accommodate 1,654 vehicles and management office space. More than 1,250 of the parking stalls will be reserved for university parking. "The WRAP" housing facility will include 475 beds and be designed primarily for UNL students.
The WRAP housing project is being developed by American First Real estate Group, which was selected through a competitive bid process. The design may also incorporate commercial tenants if demand merits. For more information on the project, go to http://go.unl.edu/7i9.
For more information on UNL parking, go to http://parking.unl.edu or call 402-472-1800.

Have you ever slow cooked a pot roast? If someone had told me a year ago I could pull out my slow cooker and throw in a nice piece of boneless top sirloin beef, some carrots, and potatoes, beans (if they boys let me) and turn it on to cook all day without it burning, drying out or over-cooking anything inside. I would have laughed at them hysterically!
It's true cooking a pot roast in a pot is just better!
I was super excited when Canadian beef asked me to share my love of cooking a pot roast with you all. There are a million recipes for cooking a roast, some that are so mouth-watering you can't help but give them a go and add them to your list for family dinner time.
There are also many cuts of beef you may not be aware of. I know I wasn't. But after reading Beef what's in a Name, I quickly caught up to all various kinds of roasts you can cook and the difference between cooking a pot roast and oven roasting your beef.
Pot Roasts
Types: blade · cross rib · top blade · bottom blade boneless · brisket · shoulder
Ever since I learned to cook a roast in a pot, it has become our families number one way of cooking it a roast. I thought the roast would dry out or lose that crunchy flavor that often scores the ends of the meat when cooked in the over (my favorite part by the way) But that is so far from the truth.
I love that I can throw everything into a pot, leave it and not worry. No basting, no fear of making sure all the other yummy goodies (veggies and spuds) that go along with what makes a roast incredible will burn or lose their flavor–POOF! That fear just vanishes and all we are left with is a yummy, tender spiced without marinating pot roast we can sink our teeth into and enjoy!
My boys are all meat and potatoes and always have been ever since they were babies and first were introduced to solids. Despite the fact that many people said don't feed them beef, they just love it! And pot roast is their favorite. In fact we sat down to dine this past week to enjoy.
Slow Cooker Pot Roast
- Cut of Boneless Top Sirloin Roast Beef
- 2 bags of small nugget potatoes
- 1 Bag of baby carrots
- 1 Onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 3 stalks of celery
- Spices Steak Spice, Pepper, Pinch of Garlic Sea Salt, Roast Rub
Cut up Onion, Garlic and Celery
Rub spices into the roast and place into the crock pot
Add 1 cup of water
Add in the rest of the ingredients, placing it around the roast
Cook on high for 3 – 4 hours until the beef reaches a temperature of 175 degrees F' then turn it down to low and cook for an hour.
Take out the roast to cool
Strain the veggies and extras into a bowl, making sure you save the juice to add to a pot to make your gravy
Recipe Notes
Make a side of yorkshire serve and enjoy!
The boys and hubs really enjoyed the roast I made. I love that I can do other things while cooking and not worry and the meal prepares itself really. Cooking a roast in a pot is such a no fuss no mess way of doing a roast, I can't believe for so many years I used to do it in the oven, heating up the house and something always burned or the roast was usually over-done.
I really enjoyed taking part in this blog tour for Canadian beef. I swear if you don't have a slow cooker ask for one for Christmas you won't regret it as it can be used for so much more than Pot Roast. And if you do have one and have never used it to slow cook a roast. Do it now — you'll thank me later!

Marc Staal has begun skating on his own this week, thus taking another stride on his road to recovery from the post-concussion headaches that have sidelined the Rangers' alternate captain all season.
The news, reported independently both on NYPost.com and ESPNNY.com Tuesday morning, was confirmed by John Tortorella before the Rangers faced the Penguins at the Garden, though the coach would not elaborate beyond acknowledging that Staal had skated at the club's practice facility Monday and Tuesday.
"No report," said Tortorella. "No report."
This marks a milepost for Staal, who had not been on the ice since Oct. 1, when he skated with the AHL Whale while the Rangers were in Europe during their preseason tour.
Staal had skated a handful of times with the Rangers during the early portion of camp, but never engaged in contact. There is, however, no timetable regarding a potential Staal return to the lineup.
Sidney Crosby had been skating with the Penguins since training camp but did not return to their lineup until Nov. 21, more than 10 months after being knocked out with a concussion he sustained the first week of January. Crosby actually first skated with his team last April during the Penguins' first-round series against Tampa Bay the Lightning took in seven games.
Staal, the Rangers' 24-year-old defenseman who initially sustained the concussion last Feb. 22 in Carolina on a hit from his older brother, Eric, was cleared to begin light physical activity on Nov. 15 by Boston-based Dr. Robert Cantu after having been shut down completely for a month by the concussion specialist.
The authorization by Cantu and the Rangers' medical staff for Staal to begin light skating implies that he has been symptom-free for the past five or six weeks. The defenseman had been experiencing intermittent headaches prior being examined in Boston during the middle of October.
Staal, who was sidelined twice last year for a total of five games for then undisclosed reasons before returning for the final 10 games of the regular season and the five-game first-round playoff series against the Capitals, had undergone a regimen of repeated acupuncture treatments and received a cortisone injection in his neck from physicians at the University of Buffalo before his first visit to Cantu.
The defenseman joined the Rangers for their road trip last week to Florida and Washington, ostensibly to continue treatment with the training staff. It is unknown whether Staal will accompany the club on the upcoming trip to Carolina and Tampa Bay for matches Thursday night against the Hurricanes and Saturday night against the Lightning or whether he will remain behind to continue his skating at the practice rink.
The organization has kept Staal off-limits to the press since he skated with the Whale.
Jordan Staal, a year younger than Marc, addressed his brother's condition following the Penguins' morning skate at the Garden.
"I think over the summer he was becoming a little bit frustrated, things were bothering him," the center said. "You could tell that he wasn't feeling well.
"But I think he knows where he's at and where he's headed and he's definitely on the mend. To me, he definitely looks like he's starting to feel better."

-Exerpt from Raven's Gate, Book 1.
The Gatekeepers are these five children. All of them possess special powers and were alive thousands of years ago, three under different names. At the time there were malevolent beings called The Old Ones. Their aim was to enslave all of humanity and destroy it slowly, as they feed on misery and pain.
But these five children stopped them, and The Old Ones were sealed behind two gates, one in Yorkshire, the other in the Nazca Desert, Peru. Now in the present year, Matt Freeman , the first of the Five, stopped The Old Ones breaking through Raven's Gate. However, he was mortally wounded in the battle for the second gate, and The Old Ones were released into the world, albiet badly wounded by Matt.
The Five can use their powers on their own, but when they are with each other, their powers are stronger. When Matt , Pedro , Scott Tyler and Jamie Tyler are fighting in their home in Peru, Matt is described to be able to send the monsters flying away with just a nod, whereas in the first book he isn't able to use his power until almost the end of the book.
The Five constantly face danger in the books, as The Old Ones have followers on Earth who believe that when The Old Ones take over the Earth, they will recieve rewards for what they have done:
Book 1: Matt faced the witches in Yorkshire, particuarly Mrs Deverill and her dribbling slave Noah.
Book 2: Matt and Pedro are pursued by Diego Salamanda, who controlled the entire police force too.
Book 3: Scott is kidnapped by Nightrise Corporation but Jamie escapes, and he is then pursued by Nightrise . Also, Jamie travels back in time to face The Old Ones as Sapling, his past form who is killed.
Book 4: Scarlett is unknowingly trapped by Nightrise and shapechangers who came through the gate with The Old Ones, until she is rescued by the White Lotus Society (also known as the Triads).
Now that The Old Ones have returned to Earth, the Five must unite and destroy them once and for all.

Before we could begin to know whether cityhood makes sense, we have to know the area(s) that might be considered to create a new city. So, folks, "who are we?"
While you're at it, why not share your reasoning? Is it a strong community of interest? A strong mixture of commercial/industrial and residential property in a contiguous and reasonably shaped area? What makes sense about the boundaries you chose?
Ask yourself: "Who are we?"

Currently, all Dell N-Series Precision Workstation desktops are available and supported with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For help running other Linux distributions on your Workstation, you might consider posting to or viewing the linux-precision mailing list.
Dell sells select desktop and laptop systems with Ubuntu Desktop Edition factory installed. See the wiki for technical details.
Dell sells some "n-Series" Desktops, Workstations and Laptops. "n-Series" systems ship with FreeDOS on a CD in the box.
There are many "community-supported" resources available to help you get Linux running on your desktop or notebook. These links include:
Dell need to expand client-side Linux support. The split-brain between the server division (who have to support Linux) and the client-side division (who seem mostly not to care) is dumb.
The Sputnik project is a great start; now expand it to the rest of your laptop product line, please. The hardware in my XPS12 is great, but it sucks that a) I have to buy a Windows license that I'll never use, b) I had to restore Windows, run a BIOS update, then restore Linux again; c) I have to go digging using lspci, dmidecode, the Web etc to find out what the hardware is in order to find out how to configure Linux to best run on it. I could go on but it's probably best I don't.

News List
Marion named 2017 All-Star Community Award Recipient
Marion was named a 2017 All-Star Community by the Iowa League of Cities for the Klopfenstein Amphitheater for the Performing Arts at Lowe Park. The city will be recognized at an Awards Banquet at the League's Annual Conference & Exhibit, held in Davenport from September 27-29.
The All-Star Community Award is the most prestigious honor given by the League to cities. Entries are judged by a panel of former city officials and others familiar with municipal government. Judges determine winners based on innovative efforts in areas such as urban renewal, development, preservation, collaborative efforts or quality of life improvements. Marion was among three of Iowa's 945 cities to garner such recognition.
The Klopfenstein Amphitheater for the Performing Arts was completed in 2014. The venue, managed by Marion's Parks and Recreation Department, is as unique as it is intimate, featuring a 50-foot stage, intricate tile work and a canopy of six oak leaves sculpted from Corten steel. Improved programming efforts in 2016 have increased usage of this permanent outdoor venue and taken it from a best-kept secret to one of Marion's crown jewels.
"We pride ourselves on an unequaled quality of life," said Marion Mayor Nicolas AbouAssaly. "This amphitheater is another example of how our city has reached higher to create a venue that is unlike any other. I commend the Marion Chamber of Commerce, all the donors and community volunteers and our city government for giving our community this amazing gathering space and performance venue."
This year's other All-Star Community Award winners are Center Point and Washington. The winners are featured in the August 2017 issue of Cityscape magazine.

Sunday Wedding
A Minister was planning a wedding at the close of the Sunday morning service.
After the benediction he had planned to call the couple down to be married for a brief ceremony before the congregation. For the life of him, he couldn't think of the names of those who were to be married. So he simply asked: "Will those wanting to get married please come to the front?"
Immediately, nine single ladies, four widows, three widowers, two single men and a lady in a formal wedding gown stepped to the front.

More than a million people go indoor tanning every day and research says the average city has more tanning salons than they do Starbucks or McDonalds (I'm wondering about Seattle though since coffee shops truly dot every block). I'm also guessing the tanning industry is somewhat seasonal; if we did the research on which week people go tanning, we'd find a bump during winter break, yes?
The pre-vacation tan is often used as a handy excuse for hitting the indoor tanning salon this time of year. There's no such thing as a "safe" tan since tanning is a reflection of damage to the skin cells — a tan is the body's response to damaged DNA in the skin cells. However, vacationers (lucky you!) often feel that getting a tan before they go to the equator will protect them. Instinct here is wrong.
Data finds that those who indoor tan before their trip are careless while on the trip, thinking they are protected, and in the end have more sun exposure and ultimately more sunburn than those who don't.
People may visit a tanning salon to prepare the skin for a sunny vacation, the "prevacation tan", thinking that a "base tan" will protect against subsequent skin damage during the vacation. This leads to extra radiation before the vacation and also afterward, because people may use fewer sun-protection precautions during the vacation because of a mistaken belief that the tan will protect them. The "prevacation tan" results in minimal protection (an estimated SPF of 3) and provides virtually no protection against sun induced DNA damage. ~ Pediatrics, April 2013

Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir for DS will see you transformed into a detective, scouring a number of mysterious scenes to find cleverly hidden items and clues, and unveil the storyline to determine who's guilty of the crime.
Described as a "simple yet addictive observation game", Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir follows a classic murder mystery story line but with a good sense of humour.
The player is presented with a list of items to look for using the Touch Screen, but all won't be as simple as it seems and may require some thought to work out what you're actually looking for.
The items players find or collect along the way may be helpful to them later, allowing new challenges to be unlocked, and there are also timed "search and find" sections which increase in difficulty as you go along.
The game allows you to challenge up to four friends and family across the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection as well.
Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir will hit the shelves in Europe on 6 February.

Nickelodeon, often referred to as nick, is a children's entertainment staple with globally recognized characters such as Sam and Cat, SpongeBob Squarepants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The network is primarily aimed at preschoolers, children in grade school and teens. Nickelodeon's goal was to extend their brand to the Windows 8 platform to drive loyalty, increase viewership and provide a unique entertainment resource. IdentityMine partnered with Nickelodeon to implement their vision and develop an interactive and engaging Windows 8 application.
Project Overview
- Completed:October 15, 2012
- Client:Viacom International
- Category:Windows 8
Nickelodeon required a high performance Windows 8 experience that leveraged several dynamic assets, an extensive media list and web based games. The targeted low-end device was ARM based, therefore requiring a development approach with an efficient method of caching and processing data.
To meet performance requirements, IdentityMine developed the Nickelodeon Windows 8 application by optimizing the process of downloading data incrementally, leveraging virtualized lists and factoring for low-powered devices.
The end result? A responsive, high performance application with now millions of happy nick fans exploring character pages, character-related gaming content and entertainment on desktops, laptops and tablet devices. The application includes streaming videos, web-based games and images of several Nickelodeon characters. IdentityMine also implemented snap view, portrait mode and a live secondary tile for this outstanding Windows 8 application.

A thank you letter for recommendation expresses a person's appreciation for recommendations made on his behalf, whether through a letter, email or other means. Thank you letters for recommendation are often written after a recommendation for a job interview or a college application letter.Continue Reading
Handwritten letters can be more personal and touching than email or a phone call. Thank you letters for recommendation should begin with a statement of thanks, such as "Thank you for taking the time to write on my behalf for graduate school." In the letter, update the person who made the recommendation on the process. For example, if the recommendation helped land a job interview or resulted in an acceptance into college, let the person know what role their assistance played. If the status is pending or in question, a line like "I will keep you updated on my job search" or "I will let you know which colleges express interest" is fine. Future correspondence should update the status as needed.
Recommendation letters often take considerable time to write. A teacher may be writing such letters for many students and taking time out of a busy schedule to do so. A thank you letter for recommendation reinforces the letter writer's positive qualities and makes it more likely that the person who wrote the recommendation will help out again the future.Learn more about Applying & Interviewing

Clovis is a town in New Mexico that you don't want to go to in the summer or the winter for that matter. There are flies everywhere and you can't even put your burger down for three seconds before two flies land on it. There's crazy people and meth heads everywhere, and stupid stores called Allsups. You've got your crack whores, prostitutes and the only beautiful people you see there are at the Cannon Air Force Base; and they're beautiful because they're from other places. The natives are all ugly motherfuckers with bad attitudes. The only good place to eat is Chili's. Oh! And the roads! If you spend a whole week there you'll have to replace your tires at the end of the week.
by Ghoulia December 17, 2012
The City of Clovis was named after its public spirited pioneer, Clovis M. Cole, a man who spent nearly all of his life in the vicinity. Clovis is the "Better part of Fresno" and has a wonderful school district. Located in the northeast quadrant of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area, Clovis is situated in the midst of the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. Since its incorporation in 1912, Clovis has been the "Gateway to the Sierra."

The good old place in the Central Valley that is constantly ripped on by Fresno People.. Gets extremely hot and very cold in the winter even though it hardly ever freezes, has an awesome school called Cedarwood Elementary that everyone wishes they could go to which is right on the city limit. Old town Clovis is also the shinazizazz becuase it has Clovis Music Center which stocks ESPs constantly, and it has a school that has been there for over a hundred years, CHS, basicaly Clovis is a French name for something, and we also have a rodeo that makes Old town smell for a month, which no one really goes to. The country around Clovis is pretty cool too and everyone thinks it is the coolest place ever.. ever

Team: San Antonio Spurs
Stats: 82 G, 40.6 MPG, 25.5 PPG, 12.7 RPG, 3.7 APG, 2.5 BPG
Player Efficiency Rating: 27
Duncan's first of consecutive MVP trophies was well-deserved, as the fifth-year forward/center set a career high in points per game (25.5) to go along with his customary league-leading total rebounds. He also managed to lead the league in total field goals and free throws made, with likely the only thing keeping him from a scoring title being his unselfishness (he was 7th in the league in shots attempted). He also anchored a tough Spurs defense that finished third in the NBA in points and fourth in shooting percentage allowed, earning a nod for the All-Defensive First Team and solidifying his MVP status.

Ipswich Town fan Russell Claydon on a fascinating insight into the Blues' dressing room
For anyone who still thinks the wheels have fallen off the tractor, it's a shame they weren't among a record crowd for a player Q&A on Monday.
There were 120 of us at The Dove Street Inn in Ipswich on Tuesday who heard some fascinating tales from inside the dressing room which left us in no doubt October's winless run was nothing to get overly concerned about (and this columnist certainly hadn't).
Half an hour before training starts, you will find about a dozen of our players already undergoing their own ball work in the shape of head tennis.
Luke Chambers told us this has become an ingrained habit, one that demonstrates to me the togetherness and eagerness to improve in their own time, as well as under Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor's watch.
'Toxic' was a word used to describe the atmosphere before McCarthy's arrival with a comment made that players were playing more for themselves than our great club.
Giles Coke was the highlight of the night for me.
His banter at the captain's expense may land him on the end of a prank from our top prankster nowadays very soon, but he also talked with what appeared to be a lot of honesty. And clichéd as it sounded, he firmly believes this is the best camp he has been part of.
After Ipswich (sorry, Ireland) qualified for the Euros this week, it's finally back to league action Saturday with Wolves visiting (3pm).
Believe me, Mick would love to get another one over the club who sacked him. And with the players he has now, I fancy us to make it three straight wins; I'm going 2-1 to the Town #COYB
n It was a week where football stood still to remember those taken all too soon.
At The Dove Street Inn, we also did likewise, as well as for one of our own, Márton Fülöp. You could have heard a pin drop.
It's set to be the same at Portman Road tomorrow with the club planning a minute's silence, while fans are set to clap through the 21st minute. Once a Blue, always a Blue.

Platte County authorities have identified a 56-year-old man found dead inside a residence on Tuesday as Darrell W. Brooks.
Sheriff's deputies were summoned twice to the residence in the 18000 block of Interurban Road, just northeast of Platte City. The first call was about 2 p.m., and the second was received about an hour later. On the second call, deputies found the body.
The cause of death has not been released. A 59-year-old man was being questioned but no criminal charges had been filed Wednesday.
Authorities are continuing their investigation.

Stars: Jon Finch, Alec McCowen, Barry Foster, Billy Whitelaw, Anna Massey, Barbara Leigh-Hunt, Bernard Cribbins, Vivien Merchant
Most veteran filmmakers dwindle in their later years, churning out some of their weakest movies before their careers quietly end. Not Alfred Hitchcock, though, whose final flicks, while not all commercially successful, displayed an artist very much on top of his game—even if, as in the case of 1972's Frenzy, he was 73-years-old.
Heading back home to England after decades working in Hollywood, Hitch also went back to the kinds of stories he told throughout the 1940s, tackling screenwriter Anthony Schaffer's tale of a London serial killer who strangles ladies with a necktie and the wrongfully apprehended, innocent suspect who's trying to clear his name.
Emboldened by the changed standards of acceptance in 1970s cinema, Hitchcock delivered a more hardcore picture than ever before, filling Frenzy with the amounts of sex and nudity he'd previously kept hidden. Ever the tasteful visionary, however, he maintained the film's sense of dignity throughout.

The Historic and Design Review Commission meets at 3 p.m. today at the Development & Business Services Center, first floor, 1901 S. Alamo St. The downtown-related items on the agenda:
The Pearl
Although the design for the Pearl's Can Plant Apartments was approved by the commission in July 2010, the building's signs are up for review today. The most dramatic is a large scaffold sign on the southeast corner facing U.S. 281 (see image at right). Blade signs, painted signs on brick and mounted galvanized signs are also planned for around the building — the site of the Pearl Brewery's can manufacturing plant — at Avenue A and Newell Avenue. They are designed by Giles Design Inc.
With the completion of the Can Plant project along with the Parkway South buildings — which were approved by the HDRC two weeks ago — the Pearl will account for a little more than 300 residential units. The Can Plant building and the two Parkway South buildings are the Pearl's big residential push. They are both scheduled to be completed in fall 2012, according to Shawn Hatter, development manager for Silver Ventures Inc.
The Can Plant Apartments will be comprised of 211 units, 192 of which will be built around a parking garage. The other 19 will be located in a much smaller building across Avenue A. Just north, the two Parkway South Buildings (which will eventually adopt the Can Plant moniker) will account for 82 apartments with retail and restaurant space on the ground floors. The Pearl Brewery's former administrative building will be converted into restaurant space, the restaurant of which has not yet been determined.
• More Pearl apartments, phase two of 1221 Broadway …
• E-N: Pearl's building boom
• E-N: Construction set to begin on Pearl Brewery apartments
• E-N: Tax breaks OK'd for Pearl apartments, Petco
Barrio — Tacos, Tequila y Mas
The last time I mentioned the former Starbucks location at 111 W. Crockett St., I put 2 and 2 together to conclude that the Mexican food restaurant moving in would be called Barrio. This week, it hits the HDRC agenda. Now that Starbucks has moved to 200 E. Houston St. — first official day Friday, by the way — County Line can begin work on its new concept restaurant. That's right, another Mexican food restaurant on the River Walk.
Starbucks' slated to open on Houston Street this month
Houston St. sidewalk
One of the dumbest sights downtown these days is the valet action in front of Texas de Brazil in the Kress building. It's a damn Marx Brothers movie every time someone drops off their car because there is no place to drop them off. The sidewalk just continues flush with the traffic lanes — which is one lane both ways. So, what ends up happening is people who park in the middle of the street take their sweet ass time getting out of their sports cars, while traffic builds and builds behind them.
A proposal would reconfigure the sidewalk and curb to create a drop off station in front of the Kress building. Gosh, please, yes — do this! I don't even drive and it's still hard to watch.
Reuters Building
A proposal to change the awning-type sign of the Mirror Maze in the old Reuter Building on Alamo Plaza to a flat sign has the backing of the San Antonio Conservation Society. This is yawner, but, the agenda does include this cool photo from 1900:
— Benjamin Olivo

Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell.
Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter.
With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart.
When I first heard of this book I was torn about whether I'd read it or not. A book about Tiger Lily? What I know of the story of Peter Pan comes from the Disney movie. As a child, it was clear Tiger Lily was this other entity impeding upon Wendy and Peter's happily ever after. But Anderson was able to take that underrated character and remake her into someone amazing and full of faults and utterly lovable. This isn't the Neverland I know, but it incorporates so much of the familiar that Anderson makes it easy to mesh those old images and feelings into this new story that tells so much more.
I questioned the use of Tink as the narrator. It did work but there were parts that she disappeared and it felt like a plain 3rd person narrator. And when I first started the book it did make it a little harder for me to get into it. But overall it was an interesting that added to the story.
This was a delightful take on a well known character. It isn't that long of a read, but it packs a punch and is well worth giving a try. A good choice for anyone who enjoys a good what-if or Peter Pan.

Order from Chaos: Linnaeus Disposes
Pre-Linnaean botany
Maps of the Mediterranean world
In addition to the Strandell Collection of Linnaeana, there are several other collections of Linnaean material of possible interest to researchers.
The library of The Linnean Society of London holds Linnaeus' own collections of plant and animal (fish, insects, shells) specimens as well as his personal library (books, manuscripts, correspondence).
The Institut de France, Paris, holds the plant specimens that Linnaeus collected in Lapland.
The Natural History Museum in London holds several collections of plant specimens and drawings consulted by Linnaeus.
The Botanical Museum at Uppsala University, Sweden (now Botany Section of the Museum of Evolution), contains plant specimens consulted by Linnaeus.
The University Libraries at Kansas State University, in Manhattan, Kansas, hold the Mackenzie Linnaeana collection, formerly at the New York Horticultural Society, which consists of books and dissertations.
A short biography of Linnaeus can be found at the Web site of the Department of Systematic Botany, Uppsala University.
A brief biography, plus a portrait and a synopsis of his scientific thought, can be found at the Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley site.
Information on the Linnaean herbarium at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, is available.
The Linnaeus Link project is an international collaboration based at The Natural History Museum in London. The project aims to improve access to Linnaean collections in a number of institutions through the creation of an on-line union catalogue of Linnaean material on the Web.
The Herbarium at Moscow State University has a Linnaean Collection.
Available on the Hunt Institute's Web site are databases of the index and the bibliography from Robert W. Kiger, Charlotte A. Tancin and Gavin D. R. Bridson's Index to Scientific Names of Organisms Cited in the Linnaean Dissertations together with a Synoptic Bibliography of the Dissertations and a Concordance for Selected Editions (Pittsburgh, Hunt Institute, 1999) and the Index to Bionomials Cited in the First Edition of Linnaeus' Species Plantarum.

Vita Coco Coconut Oil: The Many Uses & Fab Benefits Of A Simple Product
For the Skin: Coconut Oil is solid at room temperature, but melts when in contact with the skin. It therefore works as a great dryness-banishing body moisturiser that's quickly absorbed and won't leave skin feeling slippery. The Lauric, Capric and Caprylic Acids increase skin hydration by adding to already present natural lipids, rather than just forming a barrier film like many moisturising lotions. It can also be used in a larger quantity on the legs as a shaving oil that, when washed off, leaves skin soft and glowing. If you find your fake tan is clinging to your elbows and knees (or if they're just feeling a little rough), make an olive and coconut mix to soften the areas and create a barrier - just heat a few tablespoons of Coconut Oil in the microwave, add in a third of the amount of olive oil and leave to cool before transferring to a bottle. The olive oil prevents the Coconut Oil from soaking quickly into the skin, while ensuring the mix stays liquid at room temperature so it's easy to splash onto a cotton pad when needed.
For the Lips: A great alternative to your usual balm or petroleum jelly, the oil provides a glossy shine while helping to repair chapped lips. Because it's solid, until it hits your skin it can be easily carried around in a little pot without causing a mess. Try crushing and mixing in an unused powder eyeshadow shade, or melting and mixing in the last of your favourite lipstick, for a sheer colourful splash to the lips.
For the Eyes: Coconut Oil is able to dissolve even waterproof mascara when massaged over the eyes and removed with a cotton pad. Not only is it a substitute to make up remover or cleansing oil, it also has the reported benefit of strengthening and lengthening the lashes when used regularly.
For the Hair: Used as a deep mask over the whole head, or just for 15 minutes on ends to help dryness, Coconut Oil can help to leave hair looking soft, shiny and healthy. A little goes a long way, and the oil is able to penetrate into hair fibres to reduce protein loss, strengthen the cuticle and help prevent breakage - especially when used as a pre-wash conditioning treatment. To use as an overnight mask, work the oil evenly from root to tip then wrapping hair in cling film and/or a towel to protect your pillow while you sleep. It's easily washed out and won't leave your hair feeling greasy either.
Coconut oil has so many advantages and is definitely a must-have for the face and body.Why not pick up a pot yourself and see how it can slip into your routine with ease!
Vita Coco Coconut Oil is available online, priced from £7.48.

Coconut oil is my go-to beauty product!ReplyDelete
I keep one jar in my pantry and one in my bathroom - it works on the inside AND the outside! Love using it as make-up remover, moisturiser, as base for my scrubs, and as a post-sun cream (especially now that summer is starting to come in full in Sydney!

I love coconut oil! It's my favourite moisturiser. In the winter under my eyes get quite dry and this is the only moisturiser that's gentle enough to help :)ReplyDelete

Leake's 2nd Straight Complete Game Propels ASU To 4-2 Win Over Oregon State
May 2, 2009
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Junior right hander Mike Leake turned in another absolute gem, throwing his second straight complete game in a 4-2 Arizona State win over Oregon State. Leake ran his record to 11-1 on the year, tossing his eighth career complete game and fourth this season. The Sun Devils improve to 33-9, 16-3 in Pac-10 play.
A Goss Stadium regular season record crowd of 3,129 watched Leake allow only three hits while striking out six. He kept the Beavers scoreless for the first eight innings before allowing two sacrifice flies before recording the final out.
The Sun Devils played small ball to grab an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Drew Maggi was hit by a pitch to start the game, stole second, then moved to third on a fly ball by Carlos Ramirez. With Maggi at third and two outs, Matt Newman laid down a perfect squeeze bunt, allowing Maggi to score on the infield single.
ASU would add two more in the third to extend their lead to 3-0. With runners on second and third, Ramirez hit a ball deep into the whole at short. Joey Wong's throw got by the first baseman, allowing both Raoul Torrez and Drew Maggi to score. Arizona State would push the lead to 4-0 in the fifth after a Zach Wilson sacrifice fly scored Maggi, who had doubled down the left field line and then moved to third on a wild pitch.
That would be all the offense Mike Leake would need, as he picked up his 35th career win, fifth most in Arizona State history. Leake becomes the first pitcher since Josh Satow in March of 2007 to throw back-to-back complete games.
Drew Maggi continued to be a spark plug in the leadoff spot for the Sun Devils, as he reached base three times, scored three runs and collected two hits.
The Sun Devils played without Jason Kipnis, who was a last minute scratch due to a stiff neck. His status for the remainder of the weekend is day-to-day. The Sun Devils and Beavers square off again on Saturday at 5 p.m. from Coleman Stadium at Goss Field in Corvallis.
