Like many Lents past, I gave up sweets, cookies, and cakes. I was going to wait until tomorrow morning to start eating sweets again, but I lasted only as long as 6 p.m. tonight because this is when my husband said Lent was over…It must be true because he said so, plus I've really been craving sugar. (I should point out that Kay isn't "in the church," as he says.)
So all of my hard earned fasting and torture can now come to an abrupt end; my sugar license has been reinstated.
Well, except for cheating on my birthday in March. When I give up sweets for Lent, I am only allowed cake on my birthday…because my mom said so, so it must be true. And she is Catholic. Must be in that Catholic Mommy memo I haven't received. Maybe God only sends them to good Catholics. And we all know you can't be a good Catholic until after 50 or so when you become closer to death and closer to God.
In honor of Lent, here are some interesting facts about alcohol and chocolate sold in Germany…not interesting Lent facts. I consider myself more knowledgeable in food and drink than Lent. (Alcohol is relevant to Lent because my father-in-law gave up beer… and because I haven't written about alcohol in awhile.)
Sorry Easter Bunny Jesus, but many thanks for your Easter candy goodness and sales on alcohol. Yes…
Alcohol Sales
So, today new advertisements came out for the week and the first time thing I noticed when I moved to Germany is that they don't just advertise hard alcohol, but they have sales on hard alcohol. This isn't a Lent thing…every week there are hard alcohol sales.
Woo-hoo! There is always a brand of vodka on sale.
Sale on Triple Sec. Good excuse for more Cosmos.
I think we can safely say that chocolate is better in Europe than in the US, right? If you haven't had European chocolate, you really haven't lived yet.
Here are my top three choices in Germany.
Milka Bars
This is an Easter Milka Bar that I haven't tried before.
Luckily Kay and I have very different tastes in chocolate so there isn't any arguing over who ate the last bar. He prefers anything with hazelnut and I can't stand the slightest bit of hazelnut.
Many chocolates here seem to have hazelnut mixed in (Yuck!). I am grossed out and thankful all at once since it limits my chocolate eating; I just hate when I am surprised though.
Here is the Oreo Milka.
It is limited edition and often times hard to find. Kay will buy them in bulk for me when he sees them. My favorite.
Germany is probably most famous for their Kinder Eggs. For anyone who loves white chocolate, the Kinder products are right up your alley. They are a mix of milk chocolate with white chocolate underneath; the white chocolate overpowers, in my opinion.
It isn't so much the chocolate I care for, it's the fact that there are toys inside the eggs.
I think the children in the US love them because you can't find them in the US; it's something completely different. The small Kinder Eggs are banned! BOOooooo!
The toys inside are considered a choking hazard because there are small pieces.
I say that they are only a choking hazard in the US and not in Germany because obviously there are too many idiots in the US and too many people looking to get rich by suing.
Canada allows Kinder Eggs though. Much like Germany they are obviously smart enough to know that if a child is small enough to still be putting things in the mouth, the child is still too small to open the yellow container to get out the small pieces.
So if you bring the small Kinder Eggs to the US you are essentially smuggling them. Homeland Security will confiscate them and fine you $300.
Although, I have seen Kinder Eggs at a candy store in New York (Economy Candy). This was back in 2008.
But the Kinder Eggs are gigantic, which makes me think that the large ones mustn't be banned nor are they a choking hazard. Try to swallow the toy from this egg, kids! (Please don't really try.)
Yes, Mo, that is your hand. (I know, Marlo is in the pic above, but only your hand made the cut. Sorry for that.)
Not to be confused with Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls (another Saturday Night Live skit).
Lindt has a chocolate museum in Cologne and totally worth a visit if you are in the area and love chocolate. I didn't even know it was there until a friend from the US came and mentioned she wanted to go.
Tonight's conversation at home:
I don't know if it is the language barrier or just the fact that Kay is a male, but my husband usually can't follow directions and usually just does what he wants anyway.
I sent him an e-mail:
Subject: Lindt Chocolate Balls
Can you buy a really small thing that has Lindt balls? It's for tonight's article on the blog. Really.
Email me back so I know you got this:)
Thank you! Love you lots!
***A few minutes later the phone rings***
Kay: So…Lindt Balls?
Me: (I stay silent)
Kay: (Now laughing.) Ok, Lindt Balls. (Chuckles again.)
Me: I was waiting for you to get it.
Kay: Do they have to be in a wrapper?
Me: Do they come any other way? Doesn't matter, I just need them for a picture.
Kay: What size?
Me: Discussing ball size with my husband. Interesting. I'd say they are about 4 to 5 cm in diameter.
Kay: Like the bouncy balls?
Me: Huh?
Kay: The little rubber balls that bounce.
Me: Yeah.
Kay: Like the size of an egg but round.
Me: I wouldn't say they were that big, but ok. I know they have them at the Real.
Kay: Ok, it's Easter time, so they must have them.
So, let's review for a moment. I asked for an email reply, he must have had questions for calling instead of emailing back. He describes the size of the Lindt balls as a little rubber bouncy ball, I say yes, and then he asks if they are the size of an egg and not accepting my first answer. I say the Real has them (which must mean year-round because I haven't been to the Real in a few months) and he says they must have them… it's Easter. Makes me wonder if he listens to what I say. This trait seems to be global and not cultural.
***A few hours later he returns***
Kay: Can you come here?
I always hate that question because for some reason I just don't get excited about what comes out of the grocery bags. Strange that I love food, yet don't get excited.
Kay hands me a pack of chocolate.
Me: Um… How do I politely say these aren't the ones to which I was referring nor are they balls?
Kay: I bought…Did they fall out?
Kay is frantically searching the bags. I grab the two bags and inspect the bottoms for holes.
Me: At what point did you realize there were holes in the bottom?
Kay goes to the car…a couple seconds later returns with the exact Lindt balls I was hoping for.
Yeah, mission accomplished. We've got Lindt balls.
And Lindt Eggs.
I can't bring myself to eat something called Nougat though. Any takers?

Twilight helmer Catherine Hardwicke is taking a trip to grandmother's house with The Girl with the Red Riding Hood. According to Variety, the retelling of the classic story will be written by Orphan writer David Johnson and feature a classic teenage love triangle…The Big Bad Wolf, however, is more like a Big Bad Were-Wolf.
Set up at Warner Brothers and Appian Way, the film spins the famous Brothers Grimm tale about a girl who's accosted by a felonious wolf on the way to visit her sick grandmother. Far darker than the more colorful versions subsequently spun, we suspect the film will take the already violent original tale into full-on horror territory.
Stay tuned to IGN Movies for more!

Religious Superstitions
Superstition refers to any belief or practice which is explained by supernatural cause and effect, and is a contradiction to modern science. Some people believe more in superstitious happenings than others, because they have been brought up to believe in them.
To reduce such beliefs, spreading awareness is the best way. The following methods can be helpful to reduce religious "blind-faith" and to develop a rational-minded population:
1. Instead of airing shows that breed unfounded fear and make even some of the highly educated to believe in a supernatural existence, better do shows which highlight some of these points:
? If you believe too much in superstitions, you can become a slave to them.
? There is no scientific proof to superstitions.
? It is insensible to twist facts to suit theories, as is so conspicuously done in the case of fibs.
? Understanding where superstitions come from can help you think rationally.
? They cause unnecessary anxiety, which distracts the brain , which in turn produces results that aren't up to the mark, and the Ferris wheel ride starts all over again.
2. Children are the most affected party ,especially those who have been brought up to bow to the will of everyone older than their own age-group .Awareness programs, live demonstrations, and the much-needed education (even for the uneducated elders of some places) would definitely help.
3. Newspapers ,books ,weekly magazines and other sources of media can be utilized to explain relatable bits of psychology (how the human brain functions ,detects patterns etc.).
4. Most people believe superstitions to be complete nonsense while others live their lives avoiding black cats, looking for four leaf clovers and avoiding mirrors. Peer influence is another way to reduce ,or even better ,completely eradicate these blind faiths.
People suffer from many ailments ,including psychological ,emotional ,and physical diseases.
Many of these are psychosomatic in nature ,much like the problem of Dr. John H. Watson from the "Sherlock Holmes" books. Stress induced diseases are caused by many unfounded fears too, which make people want to be extra-careful ,diverting their attention .Nobody in their right minds would ever even think about looking in a broken mirror, if it were to bring bad luck .Half of the world's population would be gone in a year, because somebody heard an owl in their neighborhood ,or a dog howled at them in the night time ,or maybe the clock that wasn't working suddenly chimed.
Such misbeliefs cause failure ,diseases ,and in some cases the subjects are tormented to the point of insanity and death ,which leads to even more misbeliefs .The reduction and eventual eradication of these beliefs can be beneficial for the health of the society.
Instead of telling kids that if they step on a crack ,their mother's back would break ,they could be told not to step on one because they might get hurt .Because if they never step on a crack ,they'll never know that it is not the truth ,and so they would tell the same story to their own kids .Worry is the key to superstitions .People worry about everything from food to clothes ,from health to studies , and of course about death .People also worry about worrying too much .This results in the formation of some stories ,edited by people and believers ,and by pranksters too .Almost every religious celebration mentions death , indirectly implying that as long as someone believes ,they're eternal .But if they stop believing , they suffer and then they die a horrific death .After that ,sometimes they become ghosts and supposedly visit our world to take revenge ,or that they're trapped between two worlds because they stopped believing ,and are sometimes even said to haunt their loved ones .But these are all results of the fears that are instilled in us while we're still kids.
We fear death ,we fear everything unknown to us .We can improve .But sometimes we just don't want to .We don't want to believe that something that went wrong was all our fault .On the other hand ,some people even take the blame of other people's mistakes ,so that the person does not feel disheartened .Here lies the difference between them .Some of us are too scared (or are brought up to be so) to admit our mistakes and make amends .And when there is nobody to blame ,we blame the date ,the day ,the weather ,the birds ,and many other creatures and elements which aren't even completely known to us .And sometimes their properties and origins remain undiscovered, resulting in worse effects .Proper evaluation requires studying. And for studies , people need to be open-minded and accept ideas that have a proof ,not just hypothesis based on myths and twisted facts.
There is a dire need to make changes to how the society thinks ,how people react ,and what their needs are. Because when people need something ,they try to get it by any and every means possible ,even if it means believing that sacrificing your newborn daughters and giving large sums as dakshina would result in the birth of a couple of baby boys. Nobody can influence how somebody thinks ,unless the "somebody" wants to change .But the ideas thrown at them can change what people want ,even if it is only a slight change .Our choices are ours to make ,and they must not reflect our fears ,rather they should reflect our hopes .As Socrates said ages ago, "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy ,not on fighting the old, but on building the new".
Therefore ,reducing superstition can be difficult but it is certainly not impossible. Because sometimes ,change is what we need.

Just plain old bikes, nothing fancy. No fancy gear or clothes, whatsoever, for that matter, yet they certainly had the adventure of a lifetime. Considering the times this was quite an accomplishment!

|Singleton and org.apache.lucene.store.AlreadyClosed
|Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:06:00 GMT
Hi, I tried to implement a singleton pattern for my already working lucene object. But there is a strange error when I tried to access the instance. When my Singleton GetInstance() method is executed for the first time it creates a new instance of my lucene object. There are some member variables in this object like an IndexWriter and IndexReader. These objects are created in the constructor and I can access them directly in the constructor successfully. GetInstance() now returns this lucene object and I have to execute some operations on it. But the IndexWriter seems to be closed meanwhile and I got the exception: "org.apache.lucene.store.AlreadyClosed Exception: this IndexWriter is closed" when my object tries to writer some documents. How could this happen? Isn't it possible to use lucene with a singleton-pattern? Kind regards, D. Penning

The Executive Council of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO), following lengthy deliberations during their meeting today, have decided to recommend acceptance of the proposals for pay restoration which have emerged under the Public Service Stability Agreement LRA (2).
In arriving at this decision, the Executive Council took into consideration the proposal, under the Public Service Pay Commission, to comprehensively examine those areas of the public service where recruitment and retention issues are clearly evident. At the insistence of the INMO, two meetings were held with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the ICTU Public Services Committee and the following were clarified:
The Executive Council has now completed its review of the proposals, taking into account the clarifications now received, with regard to recruitment/retention and has decided to recommend acceptance of the proposals.
Speaking this afternoon, Phil Ni Sheaghdha, INMO General Secretary Designate said:
"In adopting this recommendation, the Executive Council believes that the commitments given by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in respect of the work of the Public Service Pay Commission, should ensure that a robust, expert, analysis of the problems, in recruiting and retaining nurses/midwives, will be undertaken and any recommendations implemented."
Speaking after the meeting INMO President, Martina Harkin-Kelly said:
"I believe it is in members' best interest to accept the proposals under the current Public Service Stability Agreement LRA (2) as rejection of same, in advance of the Public Service Pay Commission concluding its work, would be premature and not serve the best interests of nursing and midwifery."
Balloting of members will now commence and will conclude with the count on Friday, September 15.

Well, it's Rasmussen.? But when a poll that has been the most favorable polls for Republicans in Ohio shows they're campaigns are faltering, you cannot ignore it.
Regardless, it shows that just days after winning the Senate Democratic primary, Lee Fisher is now running even with Portman in a general election match up.? Rasmussen was the only poll still consistently showing Portman with a general election advantage.? Just a month ago, Rasmussen notes it showed Portman with a seven point lead.
They show no real movement since last month in the gubernatorial race, which is also in a statistic tie.
There's the Republican tidal wave you've been hearing from the Carpetblogger.
I think the more Ohio learns about both Kasich and Portman the less they'll like. It could be a long summer. I expect a tough battle. I mean, Kasich is no Blackwell. That shit was easy.
I personally voted for Strickland in 2006 partially because I thought he may benefit Scioto county where he is from. I also have lived my entire life in Scioto county. So far his policies seem bad for business. That is not the only reason I am voting for John Kasich this year. I have reviewed Strickland's record as Governor and l learned about John Kasich. After that I have came to the conclusion that Kasich would be a much better and more honorable Governor
how have strickland's policies been bad for business, tony?
I know where you're going with this, mvirenicus, so I'll chime in: In short, Ted Strickland has been no worse for business than his predecessor, Bob Taft. There you go. Awesome rallying cry. "I'm not worse than Taft."
The problem for Ted Strickland this year is that our state's unemployment rate is double that which he 'inherited' after winning a campaign in which he promised to 'turn around' our state's economy without offering any specificity as to exactly how he would do this. Right or wrong, John Kasich will do the same thing this year. Wouldn't you, if you wanted to be governor? That's how you win in Ohio. That's how we get do-nothing governors like Ted Strickland, Bob Taft and George Voinovich.
The great irony is that Ted Strickland made these rules.His whining about them when Kasich (another empty suit, careerist-type, unfortunately) starts running TV ads will be almost as laughable as Lee Fisher talking about "ending tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas" (General Motors, for example) as though Barack Obama were not President and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were not the House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader. Laughable.
Democrats are reminding me these days of the dog that finally caught the car. "We won…now what do we do?"
i'll vote for strickland if the polls immediately prior to election day are indicating a razor-thin race for governor. loved your comment in general.

During an election campaign, given our party system, we, the voters, need to know what each party would do. We should of course only be interested in what the candidates in our constituency would do for us.
This would mean each party would be telling us clearly what they want to achieve, but that isn't happening. What is?
Unbelievable amounts of negative campaigning and venom, seemingly led by the Labour Party, but all parties have the same sickness.
I am personally sick to death of hearing Gordon Brown ranting, not about what he would do, but about what damage the Conservatives would do if elected. Within seconds of him starting to speak he is shouting what damage the conservatives would do. He seems to be stuck in another rut.
When I forced myself to listen to The Welsh Debate on your behalf, the same was true with the total exception of the Plaid Cymru speaker, but the biggest negatives came from Peter Hain. In his final summing up I was aghast that his first words on the Labour Party policy were "The Tories * * * *". But he was summing up the Labour Party policy!!!! He clearly has little positive to say on Labour policies. Absolutely dreadful.
And then today the same Peter Hain told us to "use your intelligence when you decide who to vote for". What an insult. Who on earth does he think he is?
It isn't limited to these two as Yvette Cooper has followed her normal mode of communicating, shouting down every interviewer; never answering a question, and being as negative as the rest. So too [but using a different sarcastic technique] is Lord Peter Mandelson. They epitomize what is truly awful about where the political system has gone. The words coming from some politicians are quite vitriolic and that is not what I want from any politician representing me.
It might seem that I have the least respect for the Labour Party – and I confess that is true – but this is because they are the worst at arguing in the negative. On the other hand the principle of negative campaigning is anti democratic, and I hope that for the future we will use this knowledge to decide to fight for real political reform. Not messing about with the voting system but a root and branch change.
Mike Hillard.

This bridge carried a railroad line originally built in 1869 and abandoned in 1973. It has since been given a wood deck and guardrails as part of a snowmobile trail. The plate girder superstructure appears to be unaltered and is a good representative example of a traditional through plate girder. The bridge sits on stone abutments that are capped in concrete. The stone portion may originally be from a previous bridge.

text: In the Ireland model, the deprotonation is assumed to proceed by a six-membered or cyclic [25] monomeric transition state. The larger of the two substituents on the electrophile (in the case above, methyl is larger than proton) adopts an equatorial disposition in the favored transition state, leading to a preference for E enolates. The model clearly fails in many cases; for example, if the solvent mixture is changed from THF to 23% HMPA-THF (as seen above), the enolate geometry is reversed, which is inconsistent with this model and its cyclic transition state.

Andrea Palanca knew something was wrong immediately.
�When I saw her there, I thought, �that�s not normal. She should not be down there.��
There being the four-foot end of the pool at the Maumelle Aquatic Center and she being a wayward 5 year-old girl, floating face down.
Palanca and Buck Zurga, both lifeguards at the pool, sprang into action that Monday morning.
�Andrea got there first,� Zurga said.
�I tapped her on the shoulder first, to get a response,� Palanca said. �She was right by the edge, so I leaned over and pulled her out of the water.�
Zurga, 18 and a recent graduate of Little Rock Catholic, and Palanca, who attends Maumelle High School, are both first-year lifeguards.
�I got my Red Cross training in April, May,� Zurga said. �I got my training in May,� Palanca added. �When I learned CPR, I never thought I�d have to use it.�
Use it they both did.
�When she didn�t respond, I told Buck to call the whistle,� Palanca said. �That means blow the whistle three times for saving someone.�
This was around 11 a.m., and the Maumelle Fire Department was notified of the emergency and dispatched at 11:02 a.m. The first fire truck got there two minutes later, but it was a lifetime, and a life, away at the pool.
�I checked for a pulse, and to see if she was breathing,� Palanca said.
�No pulse, no breathing,� said Zurga. �I told [Andrea] we needed to start CPR.�
The pair went into a two-man CPR routine with Zurga doing the chest compressions and Palanca doing the rescue breathing.
Training calmed the pair�s racing adrenaline.
�I started with two breaths, and for someone that age, 5, we do 15 chest compressions,� Palanca said.
�We went through two rounds of compressions and a total of six breaths,� Zurga said.
Then came a cough and a quick gurgle of water.
�I wanted to cry so bad, but I didn�t,� Palanca said of the revival. �It was awesome.�
�Patient was breathing but barely conscious,� said Fire Capt. Michael Cossey�s report. Oxygen was administered, and by the time an ambulance from MEMS arrived, the child �was talking� and taken to Arkansas Children�s Hospital.
�When we were dispatched for an unresponsive child at the pool,� Cossey said, �we were expecting the absolute worst. So we were all excited by the outcome and give credit for that to the quick actions of the aquatic center staff.�
Zurga is back at work and waiting on his freshman year at the University of Arkansas to start.
Palanca, who was reached by phone, is on a summer vacation in Reno, Nev., and will be a junior this fall. She is on the volleyball team and plans to play soccer.
Both said they�d like to work at the pool next summer.
Mayor Mike Watson said the city plans to honor the two lifeguards at the next City Council meeting on Monday, Aug. 5, and details were still being worked out.

Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? You can catch them and eat them, but if you don't fish, too bad for you? LOL nice...
I am not merely a mass of molecules, incoherently careening through time and space. I am a child of God, destined for another world, a world before which this one pales in significance. Our spiritual preparation for the next world is to be the priority of this life.
You are very welcome and it was a pleasure meeting you.
That was a nice thing someguy!!!
I may usually be a turd cutter but am at times more than willing to help someone out who asks for it.
im also willing to pay someone for their "time" if they would like to bring me some smelts..i have no way to go get them myself

Cisco to Showcase Applications at CTIA WIRELESS 2008 That Help People Connect, Collaborate and Access Entertainment on the Move
Continuous Connectivity Helps Enable Service Providers to Deliver Personalized Experiences to Many Different Screens.
Cisco today announced that it will showcase at CTIA WIRELESS 2008 (April 1-3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center) mobility applications that promise to change the way people connect, collaborate and access entertainment on the move. These services represent a strategic opportunity for service providers to profitably address customer demand to access information and stay connected anytime, anywhere.
Never before has it been so important that all mobile content and data be delivered instantly to users globally and across technologies with the same quality we have come to expect from wireline access, said Larry Lang, vice president and general manager of the Services and Mobility Business Unit at Cisco. Our desire for on-the-move connectivity has seen a marked growth in the demand for streaming visual content and applications that enable us to collaborate more effectively on the move. Teaming with a number of industry players, we are enabling service providers to deliver compelling new services that allow people to live the Connected Life.
As service providers evolve to become experience providers, mobile broadband forms the foundation for new mobile services. Mobility is no longer about a specific device, technology or service. Its about people being able to move freely throughout the world while maintaining continuous connectivity to others using devices of their choice.
Cisco will feature numerous technology solutions and mobile applications. These solutions include mobile video, three-screen session shifting, Broadband Wireless Gateway, and WiMAX along with the vast Cisco product portfolio, including the Internet Protocol (IP) Radio Access Network (RAN), Service Exchange Framework (SEF) and IP Transfer Point (ITP). Cisco will also highlight innovative mobile applications, including fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) for voice and unified communications and for consumers and small office/home office.
Cisco is teaming with a number of companies to showcase the following applications and services:
The Cisco® Service Exchange Framework for Mobile (Mobile SEF) is a standards-based framework that links the RAN to IP networks and their value-added services while using the proven performance and carrier-class reliability of Cisco switch and router platforms at the network layer of the Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (NGN).
A fully interactive, animated demonstration will be given of the two most popular Cisco in the Radio Access Network (RAN) solutions: Mobile Transport over Pseudowires (MToP) and IP RAN-Optimization (RAN-O).
The Cisco Mobility Services iDemo highlights Ciscos new Broadband Wireless Gateway for WiMAX, the enhanced GPRS Gateway Support Node (eGGSN), Wi-Fi Mesh Network services, Mobile IP Home Agent, and the Cisco BWX series of WiMAX base stations and antennas.
The Cisco IP Transfer Point based on Cisco 7600 Series Routers coupled with Ciscos database for telecommunications provide a complete carrier-grade core-signaling solution for next-generation networks.
The Cisco fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) services portfolio, the broadest in industry, enables service providers to deliver the Connected Life with choice and simplicity to businesses.
Ciscos FMC solution, in partnership with service providers, delivers new capabilities. Cisco will showcase the Linksys® Wireless-G Broadband Router supports the T-Mobile Wi-Fi-enabled phone for calls and also provides up to two fixed phone lines to consumers in the small office/home office market.
The Cisco WiMAX Radio display includes the Cisco BTX-MX8 WiMAX Base station, the Cisco RFS8 Antenna System and a selection of Cisco and third-party subscriber stations or customer premises equipment (CPE). The Cisco BTX-MX8 WiMAX Base station is the only commercially deployed and proven beamforming IEEE 802.16e or fourth-generation (4G) system on the market. This base station is software upgradeable and capable of beamforming plus multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) functionality.
The Cisco 3G Wireless WAN High-Speed Interface Card (HWIC) solution on the Cisco Integrated Services Router offers a compelling alternative to traditional wireline backup solutions on Cisco 1841, 1861, 2800 Series, and 3800 Series integrated services routers. This solution is part of the IP NGN architecture and is enabling service providers to offer 3G wireless connectivity to enterprise branch office customers demanding the highest-availability access to business-critical applications across the WAN.
Cisco visual networking technologies help enable content session shifting across television, computer, and mobile devices delivering anywhere, any device access to consumers own content.

Various units from PGFD, PGPD, MSP and other agencies took part in an "Active Shooter Drill" today at High Point High School in Beltsville. Crews simulated a mass casualty incident with scenarios throughout the building. This type is call is an unfortunate reality in our current society, so it is important that al our first responders drill on the operations involved.

That's very useful to know, thanks Martin. The fact that the FRIB fits under the side rails means there'll be more space than I thought if I got a Nav with a flip up or rolling canopy. I'll be planning on putting the OB flat on the truck bed in front or two the side of the boat, although I have to say the tongue and groove floor board shelf sounds like a very neat and clever solution to maximise space with a hard top [emoji106].Martin wrote:Phil, You've described exactly how i lift my Frib into my Nav, I wheel it down to the motor then with the tailgate down i lean it onto the bed and lift & tilt at the same time and slide it in.
I have a bedrug fitted in my truck and the frib hasn't damaged it at all.
I regard to height... I have a shelf system fitted (copied from Paul's brilliant idea) and the frib slides under that - JUST !!
My shelf is fitted into the side rails of the bed , they are just floor boards all linked together with the tongue and groove giving remarkable strength and ease of fitment.
I'll try and take a pic later

Beyond acknowledging that it has hired advisers to study a potential merger with AMR
Yet, piece by piece, US Airways is very publicly starting to lay out its merger case, which is essentially that American is weak in the heavily populated East, while US Airways is strong.
Additionally, US Airways executives have been saying recently that they learned during a failed 2006 bid for Delta
"You can't do it on value," US Airways CEO Doug Parker said Wednesday, at US Airways media day. "You have to have the employees on your side."
Parker deflected questions about the effort to merge with AMR.
Meanwhile, a labor source close to the AMR creditors committee said "there is little confidence on the committee in the management plan, and that is not just labor speaking,'" while a US Airways pilot said that Parker told pilots, at an employee meeting in Charlotte, that ample financing is available to mount a takeover bid. In fact, Bloomberg reported Friday that US Airways has already made presentations to some members of the creditors committee. The carrier has not made a formal presentation, but has spoken to individuals, the labor source said.
In an interview on Wednesday, US Airways President Scott Kirby listed, in order, the four most profitable major airline operations in the U.S. in terms of profit margin. They are Newark, Washington Reagan National, Houston, and Charlotte. Two are East Coast airports dominated by US Airways, while two are United
He would not comment on profit margins at American hubs. But in the past, Kirby has said that it is important to be No. 1 in a hub. If you have a few more flights than your competitor you can put a few more passengers on each connecting flight, and that is the difference between a profit and a loss in a low-margin business. American is No. 1 in Dallas and Miami, but its cornerstone strategy also includes maintaining a strong presence in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York Kennedy, all airports where it is not the No. 1 carrier.
Also at media day, Andrew Nocella, senior vice president, marketing and planning, spoke about US Airways' strong presence in the East.
"US Airways serves more cities in the east than any other carrier, with above average frequency levels," he said. His charts showed that US Airways serves about 65 "spokes or smaller cities that connect to hubs, in the East, while Delta serves about 63, United serves about 55, and American serves about 30.
Additionally, US Airways has about 650 daily departures in the East, while Delta has about 700, United has about 440, and American has about 200.
A recent report by J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker makes the same point, that AMR is weak in the East, compared to its two rivals, because it cannot gather passengers in small cities: It has neither the aircraft nor the hubs to serve those cities. Baker also described himself as "underwhelmed" by American management's plan to boost revenue by $1 billion annually.
However, Virash Vahidi, American chief commercial officer, has said that a planned aircraft order and proposed changes in the pilot contract would enable increased revenue because American could serve new markets with more aircraft types and could boost flying to smaller cities by flying more regional jets. That would reduce its weakness in smaller eastern cities, although, without Charlotte, American would still lack a hub that is well-positioned to serve them.

Fresh Lime Margaritas
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Who doesn't love a citrusy fresh margarita! A natural addition to our Mexican themed celebration but also a fun drink to make all summer long for those hot weekend afternoons to enjoy with chips and dip and friends.
Skip the high sugar content margarita mixes and make this fresh version at home. You can either use agave nectar, honey or make a simple syrup in minutes. I usually use agave nectar, but since this was a celebration we indulged a bit by using sugar. No biggie, everything in moderation! Just combine 1/2 cup sugar in 1 cup water in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until sugar dissolves. It only takes a few minutes.
¡Salud! —Basil and Roses
Serves: 3-4
1 1/2
cups tequila
cups lime juice
cup simple syrup
lots of ice
- Place all ingredients in a pitcher with lots of ice and mix.
- Adjust to taste, if you like it a bit sweeter, add more simple syrup.
- If you prefer to use agave nectar or honey, use a cocktail shaker to mix for better results.
- Run a wedge of lime across the top of cocktail glasses. Then dip in a plate of salt to salt the rims of your glass (optional).
- Pour into cocktail glasses and top with a splash of sparkling soda.
- This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, double up if you're entertaining.
- *Note- You can reduce the amount of tequila if you prefer less alcohol. Just have fun with it!

(Check back for pictures. To hear samples of music from Northeast's bands & choirs, please see http://preis.posterous.com/.)
On the evening of Monday, November 14, ninety Northeast Middle School students entertained a large audience with vocal and instrumental music. Director Charles Preis conducted three bands and one choir, and Rory Thompson accompanied on the piano.
The concert began with the Intermediate Band (16 members) playing Regal March, The Wabash Cannonball, and March Mlitaire. Then the Concert Band joined the Intermediate Band to play Power Up! -- with 33 students on stage.
Next, the Beginning Band (20 members) played Getting Together to Eat Hot Crossed Buns Down by the Station, Merrily We Lightly Row, King Wenceslas on the Fjords, Go for Excellence, and St. Nick Goes to the Farm.
The Choir (27 members) gave the bands a break by singing five terrific songs: I Want to Be Happy, Good News!, Dona nobis pacem (Grant Us Peace), Soldier's Joy, and Elvis Presley Sings.
The Concert Band (27 members) ended the musical evening with Cougar Mountain March, The Buccaneers, Park Street Celebration, and Ascentium -- impressive numbers which the band played remarkably well.

Everyday is the time to Praise God
Sunday morning and every morning is a great day for Praising God: "So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows" (Ps. 61:8). What day does God expect Worship? Some say Saturday is the day of worship. Others say Sunday is the Sabbath day of worship. But, the Bible says that any day and all day is the day of worship. "I will praise you every day. I will praise your name forever and ever" (Ps. 145:2). Christians in the Bible worshipped daily: They Prayed daily (Lk. 11:1); Preached daily (Acts 5:42); had Bible Study (Acts 17:11); Exhorted each other (Heb. 3:13) and sang praises every day (Eph. 5:19-20).
Some say the Sabbath is God's day to Worship. What does the Bible say? "Observe the Sabbath day…six days you shall labor…but the 7th day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work" (Deut. 5:12). Three false notions about the Sabbath Law are corrected in this scripture: First, Sunday (the 1st day of the week) was never the Sabbath day. The Sabbath is the 7th day, and it never changed.
Secondly, the Sabbath never was a day of worship. It was a day of rest. Thirdly, the Sabbath was given only to Israel (not to Adam, Noah or Abraham). The Sabbath never existed before Moses gave that Law to Israel at Mt. Sinai (Deut. 5:1-3). Read for yourself. Nehemiah 9:13-14 also clearly states this.

I was out of town for a week and my lovely husband baby-sat the plantlings for me. He did an incredible job and I came home to this--
Every single one of the plants have sprouted, and those tiny babies from week 1? Wowiw-wow-wow!--
Zucchini-ville, here we come! Today I took all of these little guys out onto the porch for a couple hours to begin "hardening" them to the outside weather. After about a week of increasing the time they spend outside, I am going to transplant them to the garden. From there, the hardest work should be over and I will just keep waiting and watering. I am so excited and Forrest is getting into it, too! Today we went to the store and got 15 more bags of soil and filled the garden up a tad more, just to be sure there was enough. Next week's update should be a lovely first peek at the outside garden box. Stay tuned!

March 27, 2009 (CHICAGO) --The Brookfield Zoo says a 48-year-old female gorilla named Alpha has died from kidney problems.Alpha was born in the wild and brought to Brookfield in 1963 when she was about two years old. Over the last few weeks, keepers at the zoo noticed a change in her behavior.
Alpha was euthanized after zoo veterinarians discovered that she was in the late stage of kidney failure due to her advanced age.
She was one of the oldest female gorillas in a North American zoo.

Thermostats for Water Heating (PDF, 0.2MB)
Please download the PDF Factsheet above.
The Tempering Valve (TPV) is a safety device designed to control the delivery temperature to you taps. It does not change the temperature of the water in your storage tank. The TPV restricts the delivery temperature to around 40-55°C by blending cold water with the hot water to this safer temperature. Tempering valves blend hot and cold water to deliver mixed water at a constant temperature. They incorporate a temperature sensitive element which expands and contracts depending on the temperature of the water flowing across it. This action of the element in turn moves a piston which shuttles between the hot and cold ports. In doing so the valve maintains an essentially constant outlet temperature, and thus reduces the risk of scalding accidents.
A TPV is required by law; hence we include this installation whenever we complete a full installation of a new solar hot water system. Solar hot water systems can reach water temperatures of up to 99°C; therefore the need for a safety device is more vital when installing a solar hot water system. The tempering valve works mechanically.
Your old hot water system most likely did not have a tempering valve installed, therefore you may have been getting around 65-70°C water delivery to your taps. With a tempering valve installed the delivery temperature is now anywhere from 40-55°C.
If you feel that the water is too cold, the TPV may require adjustment. We have found that some TPV's self adjust down over time and require resetting. If this is the case, please contact our office to arrange a service call to inspect the valve. But please keep in mind that the temperature is still limited to that range of approximately 40-55°C.
Please be aware that this is only a general guide, your installation may be different.
The light, if on, merely indicates that power is available which is particularly handy if you are on off-peak as these times vary. It does NOT mean that the solar is using that power. The thermostat in the unit will regulate if it actually uses any of that power.
During the winter period the water coming into the solar is a lot colder, the days are a lot shorter and people tend to have longer showers, therefore the sun may not keep up with your needs. This is the time of year you tend to use the booster a bit. Please keep in mind that it is still heating up from the sun, the booster just tops it up that bit extra that is required.
The Solahart tanks are insulated quite well, however overnight the hot layer and cold layer in your tank will begin to blend so if you use a lot of hot water in the evening and you do not have the booster on overnight you will notice a change in the temperature.
Check that the fuse has not been tripped and that the circuit breaker in the meter box is in the on position and that the booster switch is in the on position, if they are all fine then there may be a problem with your supply, please call your local energy supplier to check your meter.
Off peak power is a cheaper tariff rate that most electric hot water heaters are connected to. When off peak switches on varies quite a bit. Off Peak tariff 31 (Night Rate Super Economy) usually is on overnight weekdays and most of the weekend. Off Peak tariff 33 (Controlled Supply Economy) gives you the addition of a couple of hours extra around lunch time. The light on the booster will only go on when off peak is in effect.
