2014 Hyundai Sonata Overview
What's New for the 2014 Hyundai Sonata
The year 2014 is a year of change for the Sonata with a refreshed design, new power output, and a quieter ride making the sedan better than ever before. Add the significant changes in standard and available features, such as a standard driver-selectable steering effort, and there's no denying that the Sonata is one appealing car.
2014 Hyundai Sonata Exterior
From its meticulously sculpted front facade to the tip of the integrated rear spoiler, the 2014 Hyundai Sonata is a work of art. Sexy, chiseled bodylines and smooth curves create an aerodynamic silhouette that appears to cut through the wind like a knife through butter. The optional panoramic sunroof adds an elegant touch to the Sonata's exterior, creating a sedan that would make anyone envious.
2014 Hyundai Sonata Performance
A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine comes standard on the 2014 Sonata GLS, producing 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, while the SE uses the same engine with a few tweaks to get it 192 hp and 181 lb-ft. A six-speed automatic is standard with front-wheel drive.
Available on the SE and Limited models is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that gets some major hp (274 to be exact), as well as 269 lb-ft of torque.
2014 Hyundai Sonata Efficiency
Fuel economy for the 2.4-liter comes in at an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined, while the turbocharged four-cylinder comes in a bit under that at 26 combined.
2014 Hyundai Sonata Interior
The dash and center stack create a seamless look in the 2014 Sonata's cabin, giving the interior a modern, elegant feel. While the 4.3-inch touchscreen isn't the greatest, its functionality is astounding with crisp graphics and easy to use icons. The Sonata offers an abundant amount of legroom, allowing passengers of any size to sit in both the front and the back with ease.
2014 Hyundai Sonata Safety
According to government crash testing, the Sonata is top-notch in safety, receiving the highest possible rating of five out of five stars for overall crashworthiness. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also found the Hyundai Sonata to be top-ranked, awarding the sedan its highest possible rating of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact, and roof-strength protection. Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front seat side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, and active front head restraints. BlueLink, Hyundai's emergency telematics systems, is also standard, along with a rearview camera (which isn't standard on the base GLS model).

Third SHARE Policy and Practice Think Tank – 12th July 2013
Transdisciplinary Research: What, Why and How?
On Friday 12 July, the Vitae-funded SHARE (Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts Researcher Education) network presents a one-day session exploring both why and how we should and can encourage, support, and maximize the development of inter-, cross- and multi-disciplinary research. The event will be hosted by University College London and will include presentations given by academic staff at various stages of their careers, research developers, and representatives of the Research Councils.
One of the SHARE network's priorities is the provision of support for research that transcends disciplinary boundaries both across and beyond the social sciences, arts and humanities. We are especially keen to develop innovative ways of promoting and facilitating this type of work among post-graduate researchers, especially in terms of supporting their novel application of non-traditional methodological approaches to research within these fields. By including presentations from academics, researcher developers and representatives of the ESRC / AHRC, the event will provide an unusually broad perspective on the academic, employment, and policy impetuses for – as well as the benefits and practicalities of – this approach. We particularly aim to elucidate the potential for increased interdisciplinary and collaborative work created by the Research Councils' move toward cross-institutional consortia and collaborative research. Case studies presented by those working on current or recent cross-disciplinary research projects will also allow participants to hear first-hand accounts of the skills required for and gained through this type of practice.
We welcome participation in this event from academics or researcher development staff of any UK university. However, it is likely to be of particular benefit to those who work within and/or currently support postgraduates in the Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts, and who either already promote or would like to learn more about supporting inter-, cross, or multi-disciplinary research. We also welcome participation from postgraduate and early-career researchers themselves.
A provisional programme can be found at https://ashpit.wordpress.com/7-2/.
To register for the event, please complete the application form at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3BVC9SQ by Midday on Wednesday 10th July 2013.

SOS Mixer Contest Winner--Is it You?
I'm proud to be one of the sponsoring authors of the Romantic Times SOS Military Mixer held each year at the RT Convention. I wasn't able to attend this year in Pittsburg, so fellow SOS sponsor, Julie Miller, joined forces with me to do a little something extra. We hosted a special SOS Mixer Military Contest that all attendees could enter.
And we have our winner! Woo-Hoo! We would like to congratulate SGT John Cashenfs of the U.S. Army! John will be receiving a care package of goodies from us. "Keep on rolling," John!
If you look closely at the picture, you'll see that handsome man is none other than the King of romance novel covers, and "I can't Believe It's Not Butter" fame, Fabio! Fabio made it a speical point to attend the Mixer this year, and now I'm really bummed I couldn't go!
But I have to say it truly is an honor and a privilage for me to give back what I can to our troops. After all, they give and sacrifice so much for us and our Country. God Bless them all!

Florida law allows you to seal or expunge a criminal arrest record if you qualify. Record expungement qualification and sealing qualification are very similar and easy to determine. If you qualify, you can contact me about representation. The legal fees and costs are located here. Or if you are ambitious, you can buy my book to help you seal or expunge your Florida record yourself. Regardless, qualifying is the first step.
Qualifying for Record Expungement – Step by Step
Qualifying to have your criminal arrest record either sealed or expunged is a matter of fact. Either you qualify or you do not. The specific disposition of your case determines if it qualifies to be sealed or expunged.
Record Expungement Qualification
If your case has been:
- dismissed,
- dropped,
- no-billed (no information or not filed on), or
- you were acquitted after a trial
it is eligible to be expunged.*
Record Sealing Qualification
If your case was resolved in any of the following manners it is eligible to be sealed:
- You entered a plea of "Guilty" or "No Contest" and the Court "Withheld" the adjudication of guilt.
- You were found guilty after a trial and the Court "Withheld" the adjudication of guilt.
In either instance (above), you were not found guilty of a prohibited offense.*
*IMPORTANT: In addition, you can never have been convicted (adjudicated guilty in Florida) of any criminal offense or have been adjudicated delinquent as a juvenile of any criminal offense (juvenile offense exceptions) in your entire life.
Expungement Qualifying is the First Step
Record expungement qualification is only the first step in the sealing or expungement process. Below I have posed several questions you can ask yourself to see if you qualify. If you get confused it is not a problem – just contact me and we can determine if you qualify together. Remember, qualifying is the biggest hurdle.
STARTING THE EXPUNGEMENT (and Sealing) PROCESS – Qualifying
Follow the steps spelled out below to see if you qualify to have your Florida arrest record sealed or expunged. Never pay an attorney to seal or expunge your record before you know if you qualify.
STEP ONE – Qualifying for the Type of Help You Need
First, determine what type of record expungement (sealing) you really need. Record expungement qualification is very similar to that of a record sealing, however there are also other types that are less used.
- INACCURATE CRIMINAL RECORD: If you have never been arrested but have an arrest or arrests appearing on your criminal background, or your arrest and case information is inaccurate then go to the Correct Your Criminal Record page.
- MISTAKEN ARREST: If you were arrested due to a mistake (for example, arrested on a warrant for a person with the same name as you) then go to Administrative Expungements page. Caution: This is not just because you think it was a mistake.
- JUVENILE ARREST RECORDS: If you are a juvenile (under 18 years of age) and you are in or just completed a pretrial diversion program please go to the Juvenile Seal and Expunge page first. This is time sensitive.
- CRIMINAL RECORD YOU WANT REMOVED: If you were arrested for any other reason please continue on to Step Two.
STEP TWO – Do You Qualify for an Expungement or Sealing
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Record expungement qualification requires answering just three simple questions (same for sealings). Ask yourself these three questions:
1. How many times in your entire life (from the time you were born) have you been arrested?
2. Have any of those arrests resulted in the Court
Adjudicating you guilty or delinquent?
3. Have you ever sealed or expunged a prior arrest record in the State of Florida before today?
#1-How Many Times Were You Arrested?
You need to remember how many times you have been arrested (or given a notice to appear in court) for a criminal offense. We need to know the dispositions (how the case was resolved by the court) for all of your cases to determine your criminal record expungement qualification.
If you do not know this information you can run a pre-screening background check on yourself.
#2-Were You Ever Convicted?
Question 2 is very important. A conviction (when the court adjudicates you guilty or delinquent) in any criminal case (including from other states) will make you ineligible to seal or expunge a criminal record (there are some juvenile conviction exceptions to this but they are very limited). It does not matter that the record you want sealed or expunged was not a conviction – I need to know if you were ever convicted to determine your criminal record expungement qualification. (If you have a pending criminal case, see Criminal Case Resolutions.)
You Can Be Found Guilty AND NOT CONVICTED in Florida
This can be confusing. In Florida you can be found guilty BUT NOT CONVICTED. This means that you may still qualify to have your record sealed even if you were found guilty or pled "no contest" or "guilty" to a criminal charge. See our What is a Conviction page to learn more.
Finding Out If You Have Been Convicted
If you answered "no" to numbers 2 and 3 you're in good shape. If you are not sure you can search your records by going to the Clerk of Court in the county where you were arrested. Most Clerk's websites have a search function for criminal records. Unfortunately, these are often hard to find. If you can't find it give them a call.
HINT: If you contact the Clerk you want to find out if your case resulted in 1) an adjudication of guilt or 2) if the adjudication was withheld.
If you were adjudicated guilty (convicted) you would not qualify to have any record sealed or expunged under current Florida law. If your case was relatively recent (within the last two years) there may be hope but you need to act fast. There may be a reason to withdraw your plea and remove the adjudication of guilt. This is difficult and you will need an attorney. Please call. (The reason to withdraw your plea cannot be simply because you want your adjudication withheld.)
State v. Cousins, 62 So.3d 677 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011): The trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to modify Cousins' completed sentence to reflect a withhold of adjudication. As a general matter, a trial court loses jurisdiction to modify or change a sentence 60 days after the sentence is imposed or becomes final. See State v. Nichols, 629 So. 2d 970, 972 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993); cf. Schlabach v. State, 37 So. 3d 230 (Fla. 2010); Davis v. State, 887 So. 2d 1286 (Fla. 2004). Certainly, a trial court lacks jurisdiction to modify a legal sentence several years after it has been completed by the defendant. The State's petition for a writ of certiorari is granted and the order of the trial court modifying Cousins' judgment and sentence is quashed.
Juvenile Records
If you are unsure of the disposition of your juvenile records, you must contact the clerk yourself and find out what the outcome of each of those cases were. I do not have access to your juvenile records and they are not maintained online by the Clerks.
If You Were Found Guilty And Had The Adjudication Withheld
If the case you want to try to clear resulted in a withholding of the adjudication of guilt you need to make sure it does not involve a charge that is prohibited from being sealed. You can find this out by going to the link on my Prohibited Offenses page. (See also, FDLE Reasons for denial.)
REMEMBER: This list addresses what you were found guilty of – not the charge you were arrested for. This is a big difference.
STEP THREE – Getting Started
If it looks like you qualify go to the START YOUR EXPUNGEMENT OR SEALING TODAY page and fill out the form. Be specific and do not guess (leave blank if you don't know). This will complete the information we require to begin the process of sealing or expunging your Florida criminal record. Do not worry. after you submit the information we still have to contact you, double check that you qualify, and only then start with the initial payment.
STEP FOUR – The Cost
I continue to find ways to reduce my legal fees as much as possible to help you afford my services. I am one of the most experienced lawyers that focuses on expunging records and you will also see that I am one of the least expensive. My billing structure to seal or expunge a criminal record can be found at the How Much Does It Cost page. Please review my fee structure before continuing. If you have a question about a legal fee or cost please contact us and ask.
STEP FIVE – Sit Back And Relax
Here is the easy part. After we determine your expungement qualification and you hire us, we will be sending you some documents. These include three documents that you need to notarize and a fingerprint card. Follow the instructions and return the completed forms. After that sit back and relax, we will take care of everything else.
The Final Step – After Your Criminal Record is Sealed Or Expunged
THIS IS IMPORTANT: I have a page specifically on how to maximize the benefits of your court ordered expungement or sealing. Additionally, we are working on a process to notify private background check companies so that the wait for those companies to update their records is considerably shortened.

When enjoying a lovely horse ride with your horse, it is imperative that you are safe with all of the correct equestrian clothing, but it is also important that your horse is safe and comfortable too. There are some items used for the safety of the rider, some for the safety of the horse and a few that are for both the horse and the riders benefit. Whatever the case might be, equestrian equipment plays a major role in ensuring a safe and comfortable ride.
Once you have decided to make your purchase of horse riding equipment, there are many products out there from an extensive selection of companies both online and in your locality. You can access these retailers using any method that you find easier. To make a purchase online, you have to do some research and analyse a number of websites before coming to your final decision.
Before preparing your horse for a ride, you have to take two things into consideration: one being its health; and the other being its comfort level. The first thing that you need to get is all of the equestrian equipment that the horse needs and then it is about fitting the saddle. When riding at a gallop, the horse rider experiences a hard jolt – this can be cushioned with the correct choice of saddle to protect the rider. By purchasing a proper saddle it can also protect the horse from experiencing a direct force when the rider shifts up and down its back.
Among the equestrian equipment, horse rugs are also considered important. Rugs are special pieces of material over the back of the horse and they are used to protect them from extreme weather conditions or insects that could potentially inflict illness. These rugs help the horse to take a deep breath during the race and act as a piece of safety equipment when the horse is in its stable or pasture.
In order to maintain grip, the horse rider can also use thick soled boots that hold tightly for foot support, so as to prevent oneself from losing the grip and falling. It is a must to dress up the horse frequently to enable the animal to perform optimally. Hoof picks act as a grooming piece of equestrian equipment used to clean the horse's hooves and keep them dirt free – reducing any discomfort it may cause. The rider can purchase hooves stand, which may help during the trimming and grooming of the horse's hooves.
When both the rider and the horse reach their comfort zone by using equestrian equipment, the rider becomes an activity of enjoyment and relaxation.

After studying the reality of application to occupational safety in new Iraqi building projects and sampling the situation wilt that in developed and neighboring countries, researcher found that there is a big gap in the level of safety application conditions, this indicates the need fora quick and clear reference for local engineers to use it on site for safety conditions in their projects . As a case study the monitors work the researcher studied a huge project in the United Arab Emirates.This project considered for safety requirements to highest grades. This case study may be far away from the projects in Iraq, but we hope to rise the Iraqi work level in the near future. After seeing the way of administration work and how they were rated the severity of each phase of the work, an idea was builtabout the most dangerous situations in projects with multiple floorsbuildings. To find multiple solutions to the risk, researchers identified 46 cases with their ratings, type of perceived risk in each case, and displayed a format survey to the most important specialized institutions and companies operating in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. Finally theresearcher takes the results,and format a software that any user can use in his personal computer to studythe expected risk,how to avoid it and how to deal with it if it happens.
The problems of urban historic centers are considered some of the subjects which are widely dealt with in urban studies since the middle of the 20th century. literature of urban development have raised it , beside the fact that large number of urban development projects of the historical centers in many cities of the world ,and emerged from the application of these new problems projects added their original urban problems , because these projects have dealt with the physical structures with the neglect of the social and economic sides, which are the base in sustainable development Research problem was elaborated as : The unclearly of knowledge of the potentials of the sustainable development in solving the urban problems of historic centers in general, and In Baghdad historic center of Karkh in particular. So the objective of the research becomes: clarifying how to elaborate the outputs of sustainable urban development with all its aspects.
This research presents a new study in reactive distillation by adopting a consecutive reaction . The adopted consecutive reaction was the saponification reaction of diethyl adipate with NaOH solution. The saponification reaction occurs in two steps. The distillation process had the role of withdrawing the intermediate product i.e. monoethyl adipate from the reacting mixture before the second conversion to disodium adipate occurred. It was found that monoethyl adipate appeared successfully in the distillate liquid. The percentage conversion from di-ester to monoester was greatly enhanced (reaching 86%) relative to only 15.3% for the case of reaction without distillation .This means 5 times enhancement . The presence of two layers in both the distillate and residual liquids was noticed ,the upper (water) layer and the lower (ester) layer. However, water layer was dominant in the distillate .The percentage excess of NaOH solution was calculated with respect to the concentration of monoester (9%-79%) and it was found that increasing the concentration of NaOH solution( until 40%) led to increase in the percentage conversion to monoester. It also led to get a pure monoester in the distillate and made the residual liquid appear as one layer. Maximum conversion had been occurred in the rang (40%-60%). After 60% the percentage conversion lowered noticeably.

This work dealt with separation of naphthenic hydrocarbons from non-naphthenic hydrocarbons and in particular concerns an improved process for increasing the naphthenes concentration in naphtha, The separation was examined using adsorption by Y and zeolite in a fixed bed process. The concentration of naphthenes in the influent and effluent streams was determined using PONA classification. The effect of different operating variables such as feed flow rate (2- 4 L/hr); bed length (50 - 80 cm) on the adsorption capacity of Y and zeolite was studied. Increasing the bed length lead to increase the naphthenes concentration, and increasing the flow rate lead to decrease in the concentration of naphthenes, It was found that the decrease in flow rate to 2 L/hr and increase the bed length to 80 cm lead to increase the naphthenes concentration from 6.2 to 24.8 Wt. %.

The main objective of this work is to propose a new routing protocol for wireless sensor network employed to serve IoT systems. The routing protocol has to adapt with different requirements in order to enhance the performance of IoT applications. The link quality, node depth and energy are used as metrics to make routing decisions. Comparison with other protocols is essential to show the improvements achieved by this work, thus protocols designed to serve the same purpose such as AODV, REL and LABILE are chosen to compare the proposed routing protocol with. To add integrative and holistic, some of important features are added and tested such as actuating and mobility. These features are greatly required by some of IoT applications and improving the routing protocol to support them makes it more suitable for IoT systems. The proposed routing protocol is simulated using Castalia-3.2 and all the cases are examined to show the enhancement that achieved by each case. The proposed routing protocol shows better performance than other protocols do regarding Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and latency. It preserves network reliability since it does not generate routing or data packets needlessly. Routing protocol with added features (actuating and mobility) shows good performance. But that performance is affected by increasing the speed of mobile nodes.

This study investigates the performance of granular dead anaerobic sludge (GDAS) bio-sorbent as permeable reactive barrier in removing phenol from a simulated contaminated shallow groundwater. Batch tests have been performed to characterize the equilibrium sorption properties of the GDAS and sandy soil in phenol-containing aqueous solutions. The results of GDAS tests proved that the best values of operating parameters, which achieve the maximum removal efficiency of phenol (=85%), at equilibrium contact time (=3 hr), initial pH of the solution (=5), initial phenol concentration (=50 mg/l), GDAS dosage (=0.5 g/100 ml), and agitation speed (=250 rpm). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis proved that the carboxylic acid, aromatic, alkane, alcohol, and alkyl halides groups are responsible for the bio-sorption of phenol onto GDAS. A 2D advection-dispersion, solved numerically by computer solutions (COMSOL) Multiphysics 3.5a software which is based on the finite element method, has been used to simulate the equilibrium transport of phenol within groundwater. This model is taking into account the pollutant sorption onto the GDAS and sandy soil which is represented by Langmuir equation. Numerical and experimental results proved that the barrier plays a potential role in the restriction of the contaminant plume migration. Also, the barrier starts to saturate with contaminant as a function of the travel time. A good agreement between the predicted and experimental results was recognized with root mean squared error not exceeded the 0.055.

The solar photocatalytic degradation of diuron, which is one of the herbicides, has been studied by a solar pilot plant in heterogeneous solar photocatalysis with titanium dioxide. The pilot plant was made up of compound parabolic collectors specially designed for solar photocatalytic applications. The influence of different variables such as, H2O2 initial concentration, TiO2 initial concentration, and diuron initial concentration with their relationship to the degradation efficiency were studied. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) found to increase the rate of diuron degradation. The best removal efficiency of heterogeneous solar photocatalytic TiO2 system was found to be 46.65 % and for heterogeneous solar photocatalytic TiO2/ H2O2 system was found to be 80.65 %. Based on these results, the solar photocatalytic degradation by TiO2/ H2O2 system could be a useful technology for the treatment of effluents containing diuron.

In this study, the sonochemical degradation of phenol in water was investigated using two types of ultrasonic wave generators; 20 kHz ultrasonic processor and 40 kHz ultrasonic cleaner bath. Mineralization rates were determined as a function of phenol concentration, contact time, pH, power density, and type of ultrasonic generator. Results revealed that sonochemical degradation of the phenol conversion was enhanced at increased applied power densities and acidic conditions. At 10 mg/L initial concentration of phenol, pH 7, and applied power density of 3000 W/L, the maximum removal efficiency of phenol was 93% using ultrasonic processor at 2h contact time. Whereby, it was 87% using and ultrasonic cleaner bath at 16h contact time and 150 W/L power density. Kinetic models applied to the sonolysis of phenol was evaluated for the first-order, pseudo-first-order, second- order, and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The experimental data fitted very well the first-order kinetic model.
The calibration of a low-speed wind tunnel (LSWT) test section had been made in the present work. The tunnel was designed and constructed at the Aerodynamics Lab. in the Mechanical Engineering Department/University of Baghdad. The test section design speed is 70 m/s. Frictional loses and uniformity of the flow inside the test section had been tested and calibrated based on the British standards for flow inside ducts and conduits. Pitot-static tube, boundary layer Pitot tube were the main instruments which were used in the present work to measure the flow characteristics with emphasize on the velocity uniformity and boundary layer growth along the walls of the test section. It is found that the maximum calibrated velocity for empty test section is 55 m/s. Three speeds are tested for uniformity and walls boundary layer at inlet and mid-section of test section. The results show that the flows are uniform at inlet and mid-section with turbulent flow from inlet to outlet.
The removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater by sorptive flotation using Amberlite IR120 as a resin, and flotation column, was investigated. A combined two-stage process is proposed as an alternative of the heavy metals removal from aqueous solutions. The first stage is the sorption of heavy metals onto Amberlite IR120 followed by dispersed-air flotation. The sorption of metal ions on the resin, depending on contact time, pH, resin dosage, and initial metal concentration was studied in batch method .Various parameters such as pH, air flow rate, and surfactant concentration were investigated in the flotation stage. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and Hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) were used as anionic and cationic surfactant respectively. The sorption process, which is PH dependent, shows maximum removal of metal ions at pH 7. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm expressions were found to give both a good fit to the experimental data. Kinetic data correlated well with Lagergren second order kinetic model, and flotation step enhanced the removal efficiency of nickel and cadmium from wastewater from about 75% to 94% and reduce turbidity so it can dispense with the filtering process, which is expensive technology. It is believed that flotation separation has great potential as a clean water and wastewater treatment technology.

I/O unit size in InnoDB is only one page, even if doing read ahead. 16KB I/O unit size is too small for sequential reads, and much less efficient than larger I/O unit size.
InnoDB uses Linux asynchronous I/O (
aio) by default. By submitting multiple
consecutive 16KB read requests at once, Linux internally can merge requests and
reads can be done more efficiently.
On a HDD RAID 1+0 environment, more than 1000MB/s disk reads can be achieved by submitting 64 consecutive pages requests at once, while only 160MB/s disk reads is shown by submitting single page request.
With this feature InnoDB submits multiple page I/O requests.

This variable shows the number of submitted buffered asynchronous I/O requests.

Ski Amis Highlights Top Ski Events This SeasonEnglish
The ski season will be starting shortly, and Ski Amis, which provides catered chalets in a number of ski resorts in the Alps, is now providing a list of some of the upcoming events, both in the resorts and closer to home that may be of interest to anyone planning a ski holiday this winter.
The early events include the ski and snowboard shows that will be held across the UK over October and November, which will be worth a visit for any snow sports lover. The first is the Scottish Ski & Snowboard Show, which will be held from October 18th to the 20th at the Glasgow SECC.
Next on the calendar is the Telegraph Ski and Snowboard Show North, which will be held from October 25th to the 27th at Event City in Manchester and the other big one not to miss is The Ski & Snowboard Show London, which will be held at Earls Court 2 in London from October 30th to November 3rd.
Anyone who is planning on booking catered chalets in Val Thorens specifically should know that the ski resort is planning to open earlier than the others, on November 23rd. This, as always, will depend upon the amount of snow, however.
December will be a busy month for anyone who is planning to book catered chalets in ski resorts in the Alps. It is this month that the main ski area in Val d'Isere always opens, as well as the other popular ones in the Three Valleys, such as La Tania. The Courchevel 1850 lifts are scheduled to open for the season on December 7th, as are the Méribel Valley lifts. And to top off the month, La Tania will hold the annual Torchlight Descent on New Year's Eve.
All in all, there are some great events to look forward to for skiers over the coming months, and Ski Amis recommends booking chalets early to avoid disappointment.

Hurricane Gustav Evacuation and What is Contraflow?
"If you're not careful, you'll end up in Baton Rouge," he kept saying.
This is my first hurricane evacuation. I wasn't here for Katrina, and moved back to New Orleans last summer after living away form ore than 20 years. When I was child, we didn't evacuate, not for Betsy nor for Camille. We suffered through the storm, only losing a tree during Camille in the back yard. My parents' house didn't flood ... ever ... at least, not until Katrina.
Contraflow is a plan put into action 30 hours before a hurricane is scheduled to hit land and during Phase 3 of evacuation. Areas that don't have levee protection such as Belle Chasse and coastal towns south of of Houma evacuate during Phase 1. I think we're in that now because St. Bernard Parish has scheduled mandatory evacuation for this evening. On this Google map, you can see that St. Bernard, in which Belle Chasse is located, is about 50 percent water.
Here's video of WWL's Krystal Boothe explaining contraflow. In it she says that during contraflow, interstate lanes that normally send traffic into New Orleans are reversed and all traffic leads away from the city. The "contra" is for contrary.
Lafourche Parish started evac this morning. Its parish seat is Thibodaux, and its neighboring parish is Terrebonne Parish, in which Houma is located. If you saw the movie Skeleton Key, then you'll recall that it was set in Terrebonne Parish.
In New Orleans, part of Phase 3 evacuation, officials are not waiting until the storm is 30 hours away to start evacuating. The city began public assisted evacuation this morning. I suppose Mayor Nagin doesn't want to be accused again of poor planning. He was at a news conference last night with Governor Bobby Jindal. Parts of the city, however, are in the Phase 2 evacuation category. To be clear, the city is not yet under a mandatory evacuation order.
Just learned that Greyhound and Amtrak are solely for evacuation today. No tickets purchased to leave the city to go to areas other than shelters will be honored. RTA buses are operating only to take residents to shelter departure points. This is a big change from Katrina when there was no public transportation out of the city and folks were directed to the Superdome. How they'd get there without a car during Katrina was their problem to solve, and the city had no arrangements to take residents who didn't have cars out of city limits.
Officials in St. Tammany Parish, also part of Phase 3, are taking a "wait and see" approach before setting up shelters ordering a mandatory evacuation, but they're telling residents "if you can leave today, then leave." In particular, the southside of Slidell may be in trouble because it tends to flood during storm surge. Meteorologists project storm surges of 9 feet with Gustav, possibly higher.
UPDATE, 1:24 A.M., CST, 8/31: My family and I have arrived safely in Memphis, TN. If you want to know how bad Gustav may be, then please see this video of New Orleans Mayor Nagin telling residents to "get your butt out of the city." He also called Gustav "the storm of the century."
St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis, flanked by the mayors of Covington and Mandeville, ordered a partial mandatory evacuation of St. Tammany Parish of all residents south of Interstate 12. He also said people in mobile homes and FEMA trailers must evacuate. While not calling for mandatory evac in Covington, Mandeville, Abita Springs, and Lacombe, he strongly urged residents near rivers and tributaries to leave.
Please WWL TV for other updates on different parishes. Gov. Jindal says Gustav is "as bad as it gets."

Here's hoping you're out already. I'm thinking of you. Actually, I can't stop thinking of the people who don't have resources to get out. And also the people who evacuate and end up in shelters. I'm thinking how things were in the shelters. It's rough. Thank god they have the national guard in there evacuating hospitals and nursing homes. This time. I hope it's a little better this time but can't help being cynical.

Thank you, Lisa and Liz, for your prayers and good thoughts.
Liz, I think about people who don't have the resources to evacuate also. Fortunately everything is much better organized this time, but I also know that there are people who just don't listen and won't leave even when someone knocks on the door and begs them to evacuate.
I also wonder how many people are shut ins and out of touch with the world around them. Do they know that the cities have pick-up points and arrangements to move them out of the area.
I thank God that we have family members willing to take us in for a while. I've heard people in shelters tend to be miserable.
I've updated this post to let people know we've arrived safely in Memphis, which is my city of birth.

My Pleasure... to get you thinking. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy Feast Day,ReplyDelete
The story you told about your childhood Santa memory *is* magical. I wish we had anything that cool.
I struggled for a long time with Santa, but finally came to realize that, as you said, Santa and Catholicism can coexist. It's been a big topic for me lately. :)
I am so pleased you stopped by and made a comment, Kathleen. Thank you! I think Santa was more magical in those far off days of my childhood. All the shops used to put so much more effort into creating Christmas atmosphere. It seems to me that every year the amount of decorations, the special window displays etc becomes less and less. Santa is no longer down a twinkling tunnel. He is out in the open having his photo taken with all the children. It's just not the same. I am sure my mother, even today, could create those magical feelings anyway! God bless.ReplyDelete

It's another in the "Hymmnos Musical" series. Mostly a drama, with some vocal performance tracks strewn throughout. This one focuses on Cocona, a key character who appears as a young girl in AT2 and shows up at another continent, and now "of age," in AT3.
The background music, and the newly added vocal tracks, are excellent. But having to hunt them down among very emotional, exasperated Japanese girl-talk is no fun. Team Entertainment recently announced they'd be taking the vocal tracks from the previous "Hymmnos Musical" albums and packaging them into one disc of just music. If we're lucky we'll even get extended editions of those tracks. Unfortunately, that disc won't include the music on this Hymmnos Musical disc. It's truly, truly unfortunate, because these are the best songs I've heard on the three Musical discs.
If you understand Japanese and you like the Ar tonelico franchise, this is a great disc to have. If you're just in it for the music, well... it's a hard sell. Importers beware.

Hey everyone,
It's your ol' pal Mause. I normally don't talk about personal life outside of the comic, but I feel this needs to be addressed so you'll have an idea of where I'm coming from currently;
Right now I'm at the crux of my last (second to last?) semester of college, and I am currently working on my Senior animation thesis. When I'm not on campus, I'm either at my shitty retail joint working Friday and the weekends, updating portfolio samples, looking for a job related to my field, and of course, building up to the next webcomic update.
It's gotten to a point where it's difficult juggling everything, and it's taking a toll on my stress and mental health.
I need to step back and re-prioritize what needs the most attention.
So in short, I'll be going on another hiatus after this week. I'll be back to updating regularly around October 30th. I'm sorry for making such a last minute decision, but thankfully it's only brief.
Thank you all for being such dedicated readers, supporters, commenters, feedbackers, etc. You've all been very kind and patient as I've slowly progressed each episode with the limited time I've had. In a perfect world, I'd quit my job just to dedicate myself to The Shufflers even more.
However, If you are eager for an option to help support me, please consider donating to my Ko-Fi, or join my Patreon for behind the scenes content.
Once again, I am very sorry for putting another short delay on the series, and know that I appreciate every one of you for taking time to read this comic. Love you guys <3

Ernest Oberholtzer lived for more than 50 years on tiny Mallard Island and turned it into a place of magic, charm, and brilliance.
Mallard was Ober's University, filled with things worth studying, knowing, and loving. For Ober's great love of music, there were pianos, violins, hundreds of records, and sheet music. He was also a great student of the Indians and collected thousands of books and memorabilia to background this knowledge. He planted beautiful gardens and continued his interest in landscape architecture. The buildings themselves are fascinating and they give us insights into Ober's genius for design.

The NYPD has announced funeral plans for Officer Brian Moore, the anti-street crime warrior who was shot in the face Saturday night in Queens and died Monday.
They are as follows:
- The viewing is scheduled for Thursday, May 07, 2 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.-9:30 p.m. at Chapey & Sons Funeral Home, 20 Hicksville Road, Bethpage, NY.
- The funeral will be Friday, May 08, 2015, 11 a.m. at St. James Roman Catholic Church, 80 Hicksville Road, Seaford, NY.
Moore was honored in a Times Square ceremony Wednesday for the start of the second annual National Police Week.
His picture is included on an electronic billboard that marks the more than 270 officers who died in the line of duty, CBS2 reports .
From CBS:
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the names of the officers who died this past year will be engraved in the National Police Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The 25-year-old Moore is also being remembered with a growing memorial outside the 105th Precinct station house in Queens Village, where he worked.
On his death, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said this: "In his very brief career, he already proved himself to be an exceptional young officer ...I did not know this officer in person in life ... I've only come to know him in death."
Meanwhile, Moore was also honored in a moving hometown salute Tuesday night on Long Island, where child relatives wore his shirts, hats, and jackets.
And at Citi Field, the Mets honored Moore before Tuesday's game.
Moore, an O's fan, had tickets for the game, reports The News , which wrote:
O's slugger Chris Davis, Moore's favorite player, signed a ball for the family. Davis later hit a homerun in the ninth inning of the Mets' 3-2 win.
"I said a little prayer before the game after finding everything out," Davis said. "It's just kind of heavy on my heart. If I could do something to honor him, whether it was something to help us win or a bright spot, I'm glad God came through."

Emergent Mirror Systems for Body Language. In Steels, L., editor, Experiments in Cultural Language Evolution, Advances in Interaction Studies (vol. 3), pages 87-109, John Benjamins. Amsterdam, 2012.
Sony CSL authors: Michael Spranger, Luc Steels
This chapter investigates how a vocabulary for talking about body actions can emerge in a population of grounded autonomous agents instantiated as humanoid robots. The agents play a Posture Game in which the speaker asks the hearer to take on a certain posture. The speaker either signals success if the hearer indeed performs an action to achieve the posture or he shows the posture himself so that the hearer can acquire the name. The challenge of emergent body language raises not only fundamental issues in how a perceptually grounded lexicon can arise in a population of autonomous agents but also more general questions of human cognition, in particular how agents can develop a body model and a mirror system so that they can recognize actions of others as being the same as their own.
Keywords: mirror systems, embodiment, body language, lexicon formation

- LovesBeingAMrs
- 5 years ago
- Wedding: August 2013
beautiful, yayyy excite for you. It is similar to mine
@mardzhona: Thanks! We had an 18 mo engagement. So its just crazy that we are actually down to the wire now!!
@LovesBeingAMrs: AHhh its coming up so fast! I get married the day after you and also had an 18 month engagement – crazy how time flies!!
@LovesBeingAMrs: I'm taking so much comfort from that ours is 24 months…we're @ 20 months now. So excited for you being only a week away. Best wishes.
@loving_life: Small world! 🙂
We bought a house during our engagement and remodeled. The time really flew. After we moved in, in march, it was like "OMG 5 months!!!" Let's get a move on it.
What does your wedding band look like ?
@Soon2BD-CBee: It flys! The more work you can get done in the beginning, the better!
@LovesBeingAMrs: An old pic before we changed my center stone for a better quality/sparklier one 🙂 They came as a set.
My e-ring fits perfectly, but once I add the wedding band the set is a little tight. Problem is, I can't size them up any more, so I'd have to get them to re-make a new set in a larger size :-/
@loving_life: I'm not savvy with this concept. .. Why can't they size it up more? Ya a jeweler told me that adding more finger coverage would squeeze a bit unless one band was slightly larger in size. I learned this AFTER I ordered my wedding band. It fits pretty well but if it's super hot and my finger were to swell, I could see both being very hard to take off together. .. which makes me think soldering is a bad idea.
@LovesBeingAMrs: Well, the standard ring size is smaller than my ring size, so it had already been sized up a full size. They don't recommend changing a ring more than one full size when it has the pave like that. If I'd known it was an option, I would have gotten them to make it in the correct size to begin with, and then I'd just have to size it up a bit 🙁 Oh well. I'm going to wear it for a bit and see if it creates a groove and ends up looking fine, but if the 'muffin top' stays, I'll probably swap it out.
@loving_life: Ohhh interesting tid bit about resizing pave. I didn't know that. Well I love the dainty millgrain on your wedding band.
The topic '1 week!! so excited to wear my wedding set!' is closed to new replies.

King County's Jail Health Services (JHS) release planning program provides assistance and guidance to high-needs individuals as they exit the jail. Release planning serves those with priority conditions, including pregnant women, HIV patients, those with acute or chronic health conditions, mental health issues, substance use disorders, and others particularly vulnerable at release from jail. Release planning helps these inmate-patients engage with and transition to social and health services with the goal of improving health outcomes, addressing social needs, and, ultimately, reducing emergency room visits and jail recidivism.
In order to help these individuals address these underlying issues that often contribute to recidivism or emergency room visits, release planners work with these inmate-patients to ensure that they understand and can access needed health and social services upon release. This can include setting up benefits, medical appointments, nursing care, crisis respite, coordinating mental health and substance abuse treatment, and other social services.
King County JHS Release Planners (from left to right):
Rebekah Clinger-Prince, Kim Powers, Jennifer Woodard, Sherri Charleston, and Ashley Mitchusson
Release Planning Manager Meagen Condon was unavailable for the picture.
Unfortunately, until recently, release planners lacked good mechanisms to quickly identify inmate-patients most in need of release planning, to communicate with inmate-patients seeking help, or address the gap between the many inmate-patients who could benefit from release planning assistance and the limited sessions available via one of the five release planners.
Release planning typically received about 300 – 400 of these requests per month. This resulted in a back log of over 100 inmate-patients waiting for services. The release planners also saw that many of those on the wait list just needed clarification on information and community resources rather than full release planning coordination.
This process could frustrate everyone involved. Inmate-patients with release planning needs waited behind others who found out, only after waiting themselves, that they actually needed a different service. The release planners themselves knew that a better process to communicate with inmate-patients could better serve both sets of inmate-patients.
Creating Continuous Improvement in Release Planning
This all changed when release planner Jennifer Woodard participated in Creating Continuous Improvement (CCI), a Lean training curriculum that JHS has developed in order to provide managers and team leads with the Lean tools and know-how to guide work units through process improvements. Woodard recognized the release planning program had a challenge—and an opportunity—to improve its services to high-needs inmate-patients through better outreach and communications.
Working with CCI trainer Rebecca Cole to learn about and implement Lean concepts, Woodard and her team devised a plan for release planners to meet groups of inmate-patients, between 6 and 12 at a time, in order to provide general information about release planning and other services available, as well to improve the screening and referral process.
Lean's focus on the customer (in this case, the inmate-patients) provided a key insight that helped the team design the eventual 'triage group' approach. "What we heard was that the inmate-patients just wanted to know that someone had seen their request and wanted to get better answers," says Woodward.
JHS's "Creating Continuous Improvement"
Creating Continuous Improvement was developed as a starting point to develop a Lean culture in which staff are engaged in reducing waste and creating value for their customers.
CCI is an application-based learning approach with three elements: classroom learning; one-on-one coaching with a Lean coach; and application with the work team. The class is designed this way, so that the participants can develop the learning within their existing work schedule and apply it right away, increasing the likelihood that they will retain what they learn.
Woodard confirmed that this approach—combining classroom Lean learning with one-on-one coaching and real world process change implementation—made it easier for her to learn and adopt the concepts than would have occurred in a classroom alone. "It was cool to go back to the team and actually do it with them. And without the coaching it would have been almost impossible."
That the team was now in greater control of their own work also proved invaluable. "Our success required everyone participating. We all had our normal work and nothing was removed from our plates to get this done. At first, it was hard to grasp how we could be saving time and eliminating waste when we were in the process of developing this stuff. But the team really enjoyed deciding what their own standard work should look like." Seeing that they could make their own work more productive and fulfilling made it easier for all of them to buy in and commit the extra time and effort.
These triage groups provide the release planners and inmate-patients a forum to communicate in a timely manner. The inmate-patients who would benefit from release planning services learn about the program and are scheduled for intake appointments within three days. The inmate-patients who in the past wouldn't have been seen (because they didn't need release planning coordination) now get their questions answered. Often, release planners are also able to direct these people to other beneficial services such as unemployment and job-training services.
"The big success story," says Woodard, "is that we were able to reach a much larger number of folks and give them a better understanding of what our services are or are not. By doing the groups we have freed up time to do more therapeutic release planning with folks not just crisis management."
Thanks to the triage groups, release planners like Woodard have been able to reach many more inmate-patients and provide more release planning services in a shorter amount of time. For example, in five recent group sessions of one hour each, 55 inmate-patients were seen and 24 were identified as needing further intensive release planning services. In the past, a typical intake for just one inmate-patient—who might not have needed comprehensive release planning—might have taken 30-to-45 minutes.
All of which means that release planners are now helping perhaps five times as many inmate-patients, and doing so more effectively. Thanks to the triage groups, inmate-patients have their questions answered right away, those needing intensive release planning services are identified, and the wait time to be seen has been substantially reduced.
The release planning team is now focused on stabilizing the group process and has begun working on a second process that will better identify those housed in the infirmary who need release planning services.

Buy Anadrol Online – Posted in: Steroid Profiles – Tags: anadrol 50, anadrol for sale, buy anadrol
Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is a synthetically produced anabolic steroid, the digital code having anabolic activity of 320 % and androgenic activity equal to 45 % depending on free testosterone.

At the beginning of the steroid had a development aimed at treating such symptoms as: anemia, osteoporosis, and acting as a stimulator of appetite, contributing to muscle growth in debilitated or transferring the operation patients.
Later in pharmacology has evolved in the direction of non-steroidal drugs for the treatment of anemia and osteoporosis, and they effectively proved himself as effective medications. The relevance of buy Anadrol 50 began to decline in the coming 1993, the year the company Syntex Pharmaceuticals has decided to withdraw the drug from production, and this example was also followed by some pharmaceutical companies.

What should the syntax for a CLI command look like? There's just allowing unparsed wishes, there's copying the existing script, or it could be something completely different.
I was thinking something reminiscent of the "cheat" command. A combo of direct options and categorized options.
cheat sheep
cheat stat moxie
If I understand, some things like "pony" would be direct, "effect" or "fight" would have effects or monsters as argument, and so on.
I haven't really thought it through enough to have a strong opinion, however - especially since I haven't even looked at the existing script arguments; I've just used the relay script - which I am tired of doing, since I want to automate it.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu
R'lyeh wgah-nagl fhtagn.
Using wishes via the /wish chat command, does not increase the _genieWishesUsed property. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if it did. Or even just having it increase to three if you arrive at the "You have no wishes left" page

This is a long overdue guest post for Workout Wonks, a new blogging enterprise co-founded by my dear college roommate and mutually proclaimed heterosexual life partner, Kristine.
Hello out there, wonks and wonkettes! As a DC expat and recent birther-of-a-human, your esteemed editor Kristine requested I weigh in with some thoughts on pregnancy, babies, and bodies. Here are a few lessons I have learned when it comes to the terrifying task of returning to your workout routine after the miracle of childbirth.
People who start working out 6 weeks after birth are freaks. Seriously. Block them from your newsfeed and make sure they never get a Christmas card from you EVER AGAIN. They are freaks with freak babies. Do not be discouraged by their freakdom. Four months is a way more attainable goal in my professional estimation.
You will come up with wild excuses to avoid working out and that's OK. Gearing up for the first workout is like a two month mental preparation process in itself, so don't rush it. Let yourself believe the wild excuses and don't feel guilty. My favorites included:
- I still have my linea nigra so actually, I'm kind of still pregnant and should be taking it easy.
- A gym trip isn't worth using pumped milk.
- I exercised my whole pregnancy and still was in labor for two days so YOU CAN SUCK IT, EXERCISE.
Your first attempt at doing something physical with your body may be ugly. I am a ginormous Yoga fangirl (and registered teacher, respect) so naturally my first attempt at getting back on the horse was doing a Yoga practice on my deck. You know those ridiculous competitions that air on TV in the middle of the night? They're called like XTREME STRONG MAN PRO CHALLENGE PLUS? And it's men doing relay races with giant logs and picking up SUVs and stuff? That's what my first Up Dog felt like. I was like, why does pushing my ribcage off the ground feel like I'm trying to pull a Suburban through sand?
You will find yourself with big boobs. I have spent my entire female life as a small-chested individual. I just never knew what it was like to have to worry about containing boobs. It was a great life. A simple life. And then: MILK. Milk boobs are a headache and whatever vain pride I get out of them is NOT WORTH the chore of subduing them. I teach a kids sport, and I'll never forget my first time back at work, warming the kids up with jumping jacks. I started doing jumping jacks and my boobs were all BOING BOING BOING WHPSSH WHPSSH WHPSSH and I think they might have actually made contact with my forehead. I was like WTF IS THIS WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. Now I know I either need to wear two sports bras, or one of those industrial grade milk boob bras. The more you know.
When you feel bad about your paunchy tummy you can feel good about your arms. Yea, spoiler alert, pregnancy will turn your core into applesauce. Actually, no, applesauce has some texture and consistency to it, more like Cream of Wheat. BUT! Do you know that when you carry a baby around 24/7 you end up with BAD ASS BICEPS AND DELTS? Between that and the milk boobs you will be lookin' fine from the chest on up. Be proud!
Working out at home is actually easier than you think because baby is massively entertained by it. I can't speak for all infants obviously, but I plop my little nugget in his exersaucer and let him watch me move around and huff and puff and he squeals with delight. Exersaucer when I try to unload the dishwasher? SOB SOB SOB MOM PICK ME UP I'M SO LONELY AND BORED. Exersaucer when I'm doing power Yoga? LOL LOL *maniacal baby clapping* DANCE PUPPET DANCE!
And working out at the gym is really exciting. One thing I learned quickly is that "me time" becomes very exciting no matter what pathetic form it takes. I catch myself getting excited for the weekend so my husband can hang out with the baby and I can clean the bathroom by myself. So getting to the gym is like, mega exciting. I get to hang out and listen to music and there's not an infant tearing at my shirt to feast at my bosom. It's intoxicating!
And at the end of the day, you won't even care about all of this. I went nuts while I was pregnant assigning myself timetables for losing the baby pounds and getting back in shape. Whatever goals I had I am most certainly very behind on. And I don't really care. Motherhood will do wonders when it comes to reevaluating the priorities in your life. I would sacrifice any and all things for my little guy, and whatever laments I have about my in-shapeness are a small, small price to pay for him.

Treasurys Pare Losses
NEW YORK—Treasury bonds fizzled and then clawed back some losses, a sign that investors took the bailout deal for Greece with a grain of salt.
Optimists view the deal, announced Tuesday by European Union officials after months of uncertainties, as a further step to address the region's sovereign debt crisis. At the very least, they argued that the odds of a default by Greece next month have been drastically reduced.
