For sale is this beautiful example of a Wyler manual wind chronograph with the coveted Valjoux 72 movement. Yes, this is the same movement used in the Rolex manual wind Daytona from the mid 1960's. This Wyler has not been polished and retains all the original bevels and the circular graining on the caseback with fully legible model and serial numbers. The 37mm (same as the Rolex Daytona) all stainless 'front load' case is in remarkable condition and the factory original 'pump pushers' are in excellent condition. The original dial and hands have NEVER been refinished and have taken on a lovely patina over the past 50+ years. I do not know the service history of this watch but all functions work and all hands reset to '0'. The watch keeps excellent time and has a great power reserve - the winding is like butter. The original Wyler crystal - with the Wyler mark in the middle is free of scratches, cracks or nicks. Included in this sale is the original Wyler rallye strap with the original Wyler stainless buckle. $2,000 (net) gets you this scarce chronograph with the venerable Valjoux 72 movement! I have numerous references from both buying and selling on TimeZone and other forums. I offer a 3 day return privilege if watch is not 100% genuine Wyler. Please e-mail me at:
email@example.com with any questions and I will respond promptly.

Irvine Hall project pushed back, differences over hall fees and design
The Irvine Hall reno-vation project on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) has been pushed back due to delays in getting internal approvals in time to meet the July commencement date.
Pro-vice chancellor and principal Professor Archibald McDonald told Sunday Business that the finance and general purposes committee of the university did not approve the project, causing the timelines for ground breaking to be pushed back.
Concerns regarding the eventual hall fee to be charged by the developers and the loss of specific features of the hall have been cited for the non-approval of the project, Sunday Business has learnt.
"We are not on target because our finance and general purposes committee failed to approve it. So I have to rethink, restrategise, and go back to them with a new proposal," McDonald said.
Sunday Business caught up with the pro-vice chancellor at the opening of the new Leslie Robinson Hall built by 138 Student Living under a 30-year concession agreement with the university to finance, build, and operate that hall.
The development company's new subsidiary, 138 SL Resto-ration, signed a similar concession agreement with the UWI to renovate Irvine Hall, with the project initially slated to begin this summer for delivery in 2017.
The agreement will see 138 SL Restoration spending some $2 billion to finance the project.
Irvine Hall will be demolished and reconstructed to increase the current 200 rooms to a maximum of 600 units.
"I'm thinking of going back to the committee in May," McDonald said.
A clear date on when the project will, therefore, start will depend on the approval process, the principal said.
"We have everything in place. As soon as we get the green light, John Lee is ready to go," he said. Lee is the chairman of 138 Student Living.
Concerns that the new Irvine Hall will be priced out of the reach of students who cannot afford the newer halls were also dispelled by the principal.
"That's not true," McDonald asserted.
At roughly $47,000 per month for hall fees, the new Leslie Robinson Hall is priced above the "just under $200,000" annually charged at Irvine Hall.
The fee structure on traditional halls such as Mary Seacole, Chancellor, and Taylor, are lower, in general, than the newer halls, including Rex Nettleford Hall and A.Z. Preston Hall, both developed several years ago by the UWI.
Additionally, students on the traditional halls pay only for the academic year, while students on some of the newer halls pay for each month of the year. The UWI's halls are often rented to visitors and campers during the off-seasons to earn additional revenue.
McDonald says the fees for the rebuilt Irvine Hall should remain in the ball park of $200,000.
"That is what they would continue to pay, if we are allowed to do it, because what we will be creating there are really double rooms to keep the price down," he said. Most of Irvine's room, now are single occupancy, with a few double rooms.
McDonald said the impact of the renovation of some of the renowned features of the hall, such as the spine/walkway, that holds sentimental value, was raised as concerns regarding the renovation.
The developers plan to keep some of the features, he said. "I have toured it, and there are some parts, like the spine, that we can keep, but the existing rooms are dead, and the buildings which housed the rooms, they have to be demolished and rebuilt."
It is more cost-effective to rebuild than renovate, the UWI Mona principal reasoned.
"If we get the permission from the university, that is what we will do. We will retain the parts that people are sentimental about, but the rooms have to be rebuilt," he said.
Irvine Hall sits on some 12 acres of land. 138 Student Living plans to build vertically, creating multi-storeys to retain most of the green spaces.
"There are people who believe that buildings last forever. That is not true. Buildings, like everything else, have a lifespan, and Irvin Hall has exceeded its lifespan. Those buildings don't last much beyond 50 years and we are now over 60 years," McDonald said.
Another 500-room facility, located near the campus' police station, being built by 138 Student Living, will be used to house the Irvine Hall students while construction is under way.
"It will be built with all the new things that Leslie Robinson now has, but, in addition, we have learnt from this experience and, therefore, we expect that one to be better than this one. There are some facilities that we insist on keeping," McDonald said.
As with the first concession, 138 SL Restoration will finance, build, and operate the hall. It will earn revenue from student rentals. The rate of return on the investment built into the agreement is 12.5 per cent, compared to 15 per cent for the first concession signed by the parent company.
Ownership of the assets will revert to UWI, Mona, at the end of the concession periods.

Question: Is ATC actually using ADS-B? I asked a controller to verify that my equipment was operating properly and she told me she did not have that information. How else can I verify that my equipment is operating properly?
Answer: The FAA provides a free, easy way to check your Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) performance. The ADS-B Performance Monitor (APM) captures all the broadcast ADS-B information in U.S. airspace. The APM captures your aircraft's ADS-B broadcast automatically, every time you fly. To verify the performance of your system, request a Public ADS-B Performance Report (PAPR) after any flight. Make your request by going to: https://adsbperformance.faa.gov/PAPRRequest.aspx.
You may do this anytime, at no cost. The PAPR will identify any erroneous information your equipment broadcasts. You can take the report to your avionics installer who can help rectify any issues. We encourage operators to check the performance of your ADS-B equipment after installation and annually thereafter.
ATC first began using ADS-B at selected sites in the United States in 2010, and the FAA has steadily expanded integration and use throughout the NAS. There are still some TRACONS in the NAS that require modernization to be able to utilize ADS-B, but the FAA is on track to enable ADS-B use at these remaining facilities before the 2020 mandate.
The FAA's ADS-B network collects your broadcasted ADS-B information and passes it to the ATC automation system. ADS-B data is then combined with other surveillance data (where available), to create a single track of your aircraft for the controller's display.
ADS-B messages contain many different information elements that are combined and simplified for presentation to ATC in a way that supports their primary mission of maintaining safe separation of aircraft. This simplified presentation tells a controller whether an aircraft is equipped with ADS-B and whether ADS-B is contributing to the presentation. It does not give the controller any insight into how well the ADS-B is performing or if all information elements comply with the requirements of the ADS-B mandate. Therefore, we discourage pilots from asking controllers for ADS-B performance details since this can add to workload and frequency congestion.
Don't Get Left in the Hangar. Equip Now!
There's only 23 months remaining before the January 1, 2020 ADS-B Out equipage deadline.
For more information, please visit the Equip ADS-B website www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/.

Love Island's Sophie Gradon and Thomas Powell caught looking at rings in Newcastle
LOVED up Islanders are all smiles as they wander around jewellery shop.
They might have left Love Island over two months ago, but Sophie Gradon and Thomas Powell's relationship shows no sign of cooling down.
The loved-up couple were spotted on a shopping trip at the Metro Centre in Newcastle yesterday.
And they quickly made a detour to the jewellery section.
Strolling around and looking at rings, Sophie beamed from ear to ear while Thomas had a coy look on his face.
Carrying shopping bags from River Island, Sophie showed off her toned pins in a pair of ripped black skinny jeans.
She wore stacked black boots – adding a colourful patterned top.
Sophie finished off her look with a light white jacket and a thick choker necklace.
Meanwhile, Thomas squeezed his muscles into a spray-on pair of black skinny jeans.
He wore a pair of beige Nike trainers and a blue denim jacket.
Carrying bags from JD Sports, it's clear Thomas has a bit of a sportswear obsession.

Walking through the shopping centre hand-in-hand, the couple couldn't resist staring lovingly into each other's eyes.
And while in the jewellery section, Sophie leaned in for a lingering kiss.
The pair have been making loved-up displays on social media since they reunited after leaving the Love Island villa.
But things might not be as they seem for the pair.
In fact the ITVBe star, who also got close to Katie Salmon on the show, has reportedly been back in touch with her ex girlfriend Natalie Phillips.
A source explained: "Sophie has been in contact with Natalie since she left Love Island.
"If I was Tom, I'd be pretty upset.
"She's asked if she can meet up with Natalie as she wants them to remain close and sometimes she can't help but be a bit flirty, given their past together."
The fashion designer was honest about her past with Natalie, and told Tom she still loved her "to bits" while on the show.
She also suggested the pair met up, as they would "probably get on".

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is back on the silver screen with Tubelight and the teaser of it has been released recently. While the actor's innocent avatar touched hearts, the Kabir Khan-directorial story is not new as it is based on Hollywood flick Little Boy.
After watching the teaser, fans speculated that the film is based on 2015's Little Boy. However, now it's confirmed that Tubelight's story is inspired by the Hollywood movie. The end credits of Tubelight teaser has mentioned that the film is based on Little Boy.
In Little Boy, a mountain-moving scene by a kid went viral and in Tubelight, Salman fills the little boy's shoe. While in the Hollywood movie the kid's father is in army, in Tubelight Sohail Khan is in the armed force. So, people can now predict the story of Tubelight very easily. And who have not watched Little Boy, it's time to download it now.
Chinese actress Zhu Zhu plays the heroine in Kabir Khan's Tubelight, while Sohail plays Salman's younger brother who was also a soldier in the Indian Army during the Indo-China war of 1962. The teaser shows the relationship between the brothers as well as Salman's bonding with a Chinese little boy.
The concern is the Hollywood flick didn't do well at the box office; will the Hindi version be the same? However, it's a Salman Khan movie, so it's quite impossible that it will not work at the box office.
Watch the teaser here:

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government airstrikes and shelling in the country's south killed at least 18 people on Thursday, including three children, opposition activists said.
The attacks come amid heightened clashes in southern Syria between government forces and rebels who seized the nearby ancient town of Busra Sham the previous day.
Thursday's shelling struck an area known as Daraa al-Balad in the city of Daraa. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 18 people were killed while an activist in Daraa province, Ahmad Masalma, put the number at 21. The activists said the death toll is likely to rise because many of the wounded were in critical condition.
Busra Sham, a town classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historic citadel and well-preserved Roman theater, had been in the hands of President Bashar Assad's troops throughout the four-year-old conflict. It was considered to be a stronghold of pro-government forces in Daraa province.
The fighting in southern Syria coincided with rebel gains in the north near the city of Idlib, where a consortium of rebels launched an offensive earlier this week.
Heavy fighting raged around Idlib in northwestern Syria on Thursday as rebels pressed ahead with their offensive against the government stronghold. The opposition groups have advanced through the outskirts of Idlib, the provincial capital and home to some 165,000 people, since launching their campaign Tuesday. Rebels have long controlled most of the surrounding towns and countryside, but Assad's forces have maintained their hold on the city.
The Observatory said the rebels have seized at least 17 checkpoints and military outposts from pro-Assad troops. It said at least 11 government fighters and 17 rebels have been killed over the past 24 hours.
The offensive is being led by several groups, including al-Qaida's branch in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, as well as the ultra-conservative Ahrar al-Sham and Jund al-Aqsa groups.
A photograph posted Thursday on a Twitter account run by the Nusra Front's Idlib unit showed what it said was the group's black flag being raised over a captured government checkpoint north of the city.
Late Wednesday, Syria's state news agency said the army killed "tens of terrorists" on the eastern side of Idlib. The government refers to Assad's opponents as "terrorists."

— Felipe Fuentes, LA City Council District 7
Pierre "Pierre Boogie" Arreola is a professional dancer and community organizer from Pacoima, California. He utilizes Hip Hop culture as a platform for social change by collaborating with community initiatives and young activists.

Shortly after graduating high school, Pierre and his childhood friends came together to form The GR818ERS (pronounced "great-one-eighters"), a collective of local activists dedicated to uplifting the San Fernando Valley and beyond through the creative elements of Hip Hop culture. Pierre graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and was awarded the Royce Sport and Society Fellowship and the C.V. Starr Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship.

Be very careful what you wish for
This morning, I went into the downstairs bathroom. I noticed that the floor was pretty dirty, and made a mental note to scrub it tonight. I left the room, and as things go lately, promptly forgot about it.
Fast forward six hours. Emma had a dirty dipe, so I took it, shook it out, and flushed. All appeared normal. I put the dipe in the pail, and went to wash dishes. About two minutes into the dishes, I heard water. Man,it's really raining outside. I looked up, through the window, and saw that it had stopped raining. Someone must have gone into the bathroom and washed up, and left the faucet running. I went to check, and was slapped in the ankles with a flood. As I sloshed through, I saw the water pouring out of the top of the toilet. I had no idea a toilet held that much water - it ran past my laundry room, ankle deep, and it was still coming. Quickly, I turned off the emergency valve - thank God I knew where that was! It took eight beach towels, the bath mat, and the Hoover scrub/vac to get it cleaned up. The repair, I left for the hubster. I've done enough for one day.

Janet Mills, a former HMI and teacher, draws on work in more than 800 schools and published research as she seeks to help schools improve their practice no matter how good it is already. Successful teaching, she argues, is creative, uplifting, enabling, and, above all, rooted in music. The aim of this book is to put the music back into Music!Though-provoking, challenging and empowering, this book is an essential read for everyone interested in music in schools, including class teachers, instrumental teachers and researchers.Using informative and entertaining examples and anecdotes, Janet Mills criticises notions such as musical children and musical schools, and comments on the roles of instrumental teachers and so-called non-specialists. She explores how music in school can, and must, interact with music out of school, and considers how to measure progress in music and how not to.Music in the School is not a step-by-step guide to better teaching, but rather a springboard for consideration, reflection, and action. Anyone who cares about music at school will find this book a powerful tool!

Fall Color in Yosemite Valley
Fall color began last week in Yosemite Valley. The entire Valley loop, as well as the Merced River Canyon, is filled with trees changing to yellow, orange and red.
Fall colors can be seen along the entire Yosemite Valley floor or enjoy an easy walk through Happy Isles or to Mirror Lake.

136. The Doubtful Daisy-chain - October 2017
|Posted on October 1, 2017 at 6:00 AM
On arrival at the Wraybury show with our layout, we found that no electrical cables had been laid out, even though setting up was well under way.
"You'll find a socket somewhere over there," one of the organisers said, with a gesture that was wide enough to encompass most of the known universe. "You all have your own way of setting out cables, so we're letting you get on with it."
We erected the layout and ran out our cables. Then Ken took the plug end of our heavy-duty extension lead and went in search of a socket. He soon reported back that he'd plugged it into a bank of socket two layouts away, and it would soon be live.
In the meantime, the operators of the layout on the other side had asked if they could plug into our multi-gang socket. Of course they could. And the layout next to them daisy-chained from their power supply. But as opening time rapidly approached, not a single layout had any power to carry out the essential tests of their electrical systems.
Another of the organisers wandered by. "When's the electricity coming on?" we asked him. He didn't know, but said he'd sort it out.
He traced the cables right round the exhibition hall. Eventually he reached the end plug. "I'll soon have you all connected," he shouted triumphantly. "I've just got to find a socket." He hunted round and found one underneath a layout. "Power going on," he cried out. "Have fun!" We waited, and waited, but nothing came live. The chap disappeared.
Out came the test equipment. The continuity of the wires within the cables was frantically investigated. The integrity of fuses was examined. Plugs were opened up to check that all wires were firmly screwed into the correct terminals.
Then the hunt for the missing electricity really started. We sent out two search parties. One set off clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. Between them they traced the sequence of connections from under one layout to under its neighbouring layout. The two search parties drew ever closer to each other, but on the other side of the hall. Eventually they met at a micro-layout.
"Where's your power supply," they asked the operator.
"Dunno," he replied. "I'm battery-powered. There's this cable passing underneath."
In desperation, a plug was pulled out from a socket. Having checked that the socket was dead, one probe of the test meter was held against the earth pin of the plug and the other pushed into the earth aperture of the socket. The meter bleeped unhealthily. But it bleeped. The same thing happened with the neutral and live.
"We have continuity right round the hall," Ken announced. "But at no point is any of it actually connected to the mains." There was laughter amongst the exhibitors.
By now the organisers were wondering why no locos were running, no display lights were on, and no sounds were coming from the DCC layouts. Then the penny dropped. There was a frantic search for some additional extension cables, and an even more frenetic hunt for the building's own wall sockets. Eventually the great circular daisy-chain was divided into sections, and each connected to a live outlet. The layouts sprung into life just as the doors opened and the public streamed in.
"Does it not go to demonstrate," our chairman wondered, "that every aspect of an exhibition should be planned, and those plans put into operation? When it comes to something as critical as the power supply, nothing should be left either to chance or for exhibitors to sort out for themselves piece-meal. Yes, there will always be deviations from any plan, but there must be an effective plan to begin with." We all agreed with him. It remains to be seen whether the organisers get their act together in time for next year's show.

Consider an eco-friendly approach to your repair project. Green building means that you use certain materials and practices that are better for the environment and for your health. The following are a few guidelines for remodeling green in Ipswich MA.
Material Awareness
Buy materials made locally in the surrounding areas. This reduces the use of fuel for transportation. Local materials may also be better adapted to the particular temperature of the location. Also use recycled materials to help lower the amount of material in land fills. Consider products such as bamboo and cork as they are durable and easily manufactured. Also evaluate what products are made of and navigate towards items with few volatile materials. This will help increase indoor air quality. Eco-friendly alternatives can be easily included in your rehab project.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficient options will not only preserve the environment but also save on household energy bills. Windows and doors can be found in energy saving variations and when properly installed can minimize air leaks. Appliances such as dishwashers and high efficiency washers are known to save significant water usage over hand washing. For all appliances, opt for Energy Star rated models that use less electricity. Evaluate other products that may have energy efficient alternatives such as low-flush toilets. Each one will make a small contribution to saving natural resources and reducing your expenses.
Practices that Minimize Waste
During your renovation, consider donating items rather than throwing them away. Most refuse can be re-used by others. You can also apply general environmentally friendly concepts to your daily living by not using products with harsh chemicals that impact the environment. Reduce waste by not leaving water running when brushing your teeth and storing rain water for gardening. Recycling and reducing waste are great ongoing practices.
Guidelines For Remodeling Green In Ipswich MA
Going green can make your home more comfortable, maintain natural resources, and save money. For a little extra effort, it offers a big return. Natural resources are quickly diminishing and we all need to do our part by implementing some easy green concepts to repair projects and daily living. This blog post on guidelines for remodeling green in Ipswich MA was prepared by John Wells at Wellsco Realty.

The Twin Cities (Minnesota's Minneapolis and Saint Paul), can provide families with holiday fun from just after Halloween until well into the New Year! If you're willing to brave some real wintry weather in a true wonderland, you'll have many options for outdoor and indoor fun and festive activities. Here are some favorite Christmas Events in the Twin Cities that locals and visitors alike enjoy!
Look for current hotel deals in Minnesota
Holidazzle Village (Formerly Holidazzle Parade)
Holidazzle is a Minneapolis tradition. Visiting Holidazzle at Loring Park is sure to warm the heart of even the Grinchiest of the family. The Holidazzle is a holiday market that is completely free and features an outdoor bazaar with unique gift vendors, areas for warming and indulging in treats of the season, and all sorts of holiday cheer, welcoming the public from November 24th – December 23rd. Live music, artisan booths, exquisite foods, visits with Santa, and holiday-themed weekly movies (including the classics) are all on the agenda for Holidazzle family fun. Special events and attractions can be expected throughout the season alongside the regular sights and sounds of the market. Bring your skates and enjoy the outdoor rink followed by a warm drink — all of this is taking place NOW at Loring Park, in the heart of Minneapolis.
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
Enjoy the gardens and collections in the winter, too! The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum makes spirits (and trees) bright for the holiday season as visitors enjoy the Pointsettia tree, many lighted trees, the Land of Gingerbread Display, visits with Santa, and outdoor light displays. Located in Chaska, this is about a half hour drive time from the heart of the Twin Cities. You can enroll in a traditional Gingerbread workshop or enjoy holiday story times and live music. This is a unique way to enjoy the season! Be sure to visit the website for specific dates and times.
Breakfast or Dinner with Santa
Bring your appetite and your have your wishlist ready, kids! This VIP event is fun for the entire family, starting with breakfast in the Skyroom on the 12th floor of the downtown location (select dates, make reservations to secure tickets). Mom and dad can enjoy coffee and goodies while kids are entertained by Mrs. Claus, snow fairies, and the man of the hour. The spread is pretty extensive, including kid's favorite sugary items and more traditional appeal for adults! Think Buddy the Elf here; you can go wild with syrup on pancakes or French toast if that's what you desire! Balloon animals, face-painting, and a visit with the man in the red suit all happen while staying warm and enjoying the view from the 12th floor of Macy's in downtown Minneapolis! (Santa can also be seen at Santaland, but with breakfast the line is much shorter and the experience more personal!) Breakfast with Santa is sure to be a hit with your little ones! This event DOES sell out and return customers get a little advance preference for buying tickets, so make sure to plan ahead and get on "the nice list" right away! See the Minneapolis Macy's store site for more details.
Dinner is scheduled for December 13th and 19th at 6 p.m. at the downtown location, 12th floor Skyroom. As usual, reservations are needed and the best and most current information is always available on the Macy's website.
Macy's Santaland
After you fill your bellies, head to Macy's 52nd Annual Santaland on the 8th floor and take in the walk-through tour of "a Day in the Life of an Elf," caroling Christmas trees, and more holiday-themed scenes. The line is lengthy, but the wait is remarkably short. Bring the camera! Strollers are welcome, but it's shoulder-to-shoulder at times, so do what will be the easiest for your family! After the tour through Santaland, which takes less than a half-hour, take in the Moose Crossing puppet show and the gift shop to round out the day. Santa arrives November 22nd and will be on-site for a visit until December 24th.
Check for hotel availabilities in Minnesota
American Swedish Institute
All of the holiday favorites, including baking, music, and shopping are represented with a Nordic twist at this holiday event. The American Swedish Institute (ASI) has a line-up during the holiday season that includes Julmarknad (which is a family favorite) and features a visit by Tomte (a Swedish Santa who hands out Swedish fish to the children and reads them a story), a wonderful and mostly warm market full of handicrafts (many that are very unique and have a Scandinavian touch to them), and tours of the enormous, decorated castle. There is a Dala horse for small children to take rides on if you are able to find it! Make ornaments or play a scavenger hunt, listen to a chorus or just take some time to get to know the roots of many Minnesotans (and Americans). This is a hit during the holidays for sure! Check out the website for all the details — it would take pages upon pages to mention it all. It sort of makes you want to set up a tent and just live on the ASI campus through the holiday season. There is just SO much magical merriment to enjoy!
Winter Walk in Northfield
This is a short commute from the heart of the Twin Cities into the suburb of Northfield and it's well worth the drive. Experience the quaint downtown area of the city by candlelight December 7th, 2017 from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. Winter Walk fun includes reindeer drawn sleigh rides, cocoa, and caroling. This location is about 45 minutes from Minneapolis/St. Paul and a half hour from Mall of America — but to experience a "small town" holiday, this is a great place to explore!
Ice Castles (Stillwater, MN)
About thirty minutes from the heart(s) of the big cities is Stillwater, MN. This year, Stillwater is one of four cities in North America to host this gorgeous frozen structure complete with vivid lights and fairytale-like splendor! Each site must grow 10,000 icicles a day to make this happen and as you may have guessed, it's a super seasonal, weather dependent spectacle! Check the main Ice Castles website to determine the hours and opening of each site.
Be aware, strollers and wheelchairs are not real easy to navigate through the crushed ice pathways of the Ice Castles site.
See a Classic (Or Something Totally Different)
Perhaps your family loves to watch A Christmas Carol or The Lion in Winter? Maybe a version of The Nutcracker or the American Swedish Institute's Nordic Christmas could be for you and yours! If you like arts and culture and want a little holiday-themed story line for an evening outing, the Twin Cities won't leave you wanting for much! The famed Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis hosts a variety of shows and plays that will delight and dazzle the family. If it's something different that you're looking to see, the Brave New Workshop has a more bold offering, maybe for the older kids or teens, the annual Christmas show –in years past, patrons enjoyed quirky bits such as Twerking Around the Christmas Tree and The Drumpf Who Stole Christmas. This year promises more fun with The Brave New Workshop's 2016 Holiday Revue: What the Elf!? and The Danger Committee Presents – A Stocking Full of Awesome VI: Wreck the Halls.
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory
Special events like Holiday Tea & Behind the Scenes Tour (which is quite popular, call for reservations), and the annual Holiday Flower Show, a great place to take that perfect holiday family photo, are a blast at Como! Since admission is FREE (free will donations encouraged) and many exhibits are indoors, this can make a great winter escape if the weather takes a turn. Most of the animals can be seen (except the Aviary and Tortoises, things that are seasonal.) The Como is never a bad way to spend a day no matter the season, but there is a little extra holiday joy this time of year!
James J. Hill House Holidays
A truly unique experience, experience the "servants" of the James J. Hill house usher in a Gilded Age Christmas as they prepare for the holidays, fully costumed at the Summit Ave. mansion. History, arts, fun! Tours leave every half hour, and Hill House Holidays runs Saturdays and Sundays from Dec. 3-24; reservations are recommended. The first date is already sold out! This would be a fun way to make history really spark for older children learning about this era!
A Victorian Christmas at the Alexander Ramsey House
Dating back to 1875, when Minnesota was still a territory, the house of the then governor is on display with the halls properly decked for all to see and experience today. Costumed guides will lead tours through the home–including original family ornaments on display, serve cookies, enjoy Christmas decorations and music. Tours are offered the day after Thanksgiving through Jan. 4. The house is located on historic Exchange St. and directions as well as event times and reservations can be found here and made by calling the site.
Mall of America
Being the mecca of shopping to satiate even the most ravenous bargain hunter, the Mall of America has decadent dinner options for the whole family, amusement park rides, special events (check the schedule to plan around something fun for kids), and so many offerings for families. MOA is a fantastic place to frequent if you're feeling festive. Staying in the area or looking to do so? Here's a helpful list of nearby hotels that are great for families. Don't forget, one of them has a gigantic waterpark and is just a stone's throw from the mall; perfect makings for a fun-filled holiday weekend!
Are you now excited about the prospects that the Northland has to offer your family for the holidays and beyond? Check out the Top Ten Things for Families to do in Minnesota to get started planning year-round fun in this playground of lakes – frozen or not!

Having a narrator who jumps in time from past to present can sometimes present a challenge to even the most comprehensive reader if the author isn't up to the task. In True Believers, Kurt Andersen takes his reader to the 1960s and back with each progressive chapter in a fluid page turn that kept me compelled to keep on reading long past my bedtime because I wanted to see the progression of 1960s idealistic to radical Karen and present day almost Supreme Court nominee Karen. Andersen had me emotionally invested in both Karens in a way I wouldn't have expected.
1960s Karen starts out as the upper middle class midwestern Catholic girl who is a great student, with her "quirk" being a love of James Bond novels and acting out Bond-style missions with her two best friends Alex and Chuck. The reader experiences Karen's awakening sexually and politically, and follows along with her and her radicalization in her hometown, to hyper-radicalization as she becomes a Radcliffe college freshman, while Alex and Chuck follow the same path of radicalization to Harvard along with her. Or do they?
This story plays out as a window into the 60s, and a mystery of counter-intel-pro as present day Karen writes her memoirs and comes to grips with what Radcliffe Karen did with Alex and Chuck. She plans to write a tell-all book and works to put the missing pieces together.
I won't tell you any more, lest I lead you to jump to some conclusions that might spoil the story. I'll just say at the end of the day, I really enjoyed the book. That's not to say it was perfect – It is long and there were certainly times that I was wishing Andersen would just get on with it already, and the sub-plot of Karen's radical granddaughter seemed a little unnecessary for my taste, but it was both an enjoyable and informative piece of historical fiction. And if I taken nothing else from the book, while I may have known (or at least heard it before), I will now never forget that Jimi Hendrix was an opening act for the Monkees!

hm to me this sounds troubling. I expected him to be really bad, not just a bit of an *******.
No title, but we have this:
Hi, Matt! Im curious to know about the Demon Dean personality through the first half of Supernatural Season 10. Levana
Indeed, Dean has a bit of the devil in him as will be evidenced by an intense fling he has in the second episode back, with a tough but sympathetic roadhouse cocktail waitress named Ann Marie.
hm to me this sounds troubling. I expected him to be really bad, not just a bit of an *******.
One would think he will have the urge to kill things like he did before because of the Mark but it seems as though demons as evidenced in the past pick their battles and loyalties. I think he will be bad but it will be his own flavor.
I have the feeling that Crowley isn't going to like this "new" Dean very much. Crowley was very very evil in the past, but he was always a businessman and now having some humanity in him, he will fear not only Dean taking over his new-found King of Hell role, but I think Crowley is fond of Dean and sincerely doesn't want this for him.
One of the best things about season 8 was when Dean was in Purgatory. He was powerful, cold, and "pure" but he was not evil. I wish there was more of this Dean in that season, but I am not looking forward to Demon Dean being front and center for very long in Season 10.
Nah I see Crowley having fun with this. I see him acting as Dean's Yoda, helping him experience life as a demon. It makes sense cause they need to find a reason to keep Crowley around or else the boys should kill him asap.
The title of the episode is "Reichenbach".
A play on the Sherlock episode maybe?
And photos for "Reichenbach"CROWLEY TELLS DEAN THE MARK NEEDS TO BE FED Crowley (Mark Sheppard) notices Dean (Jensen Ackles) is becoming more and more aggressive. Dean tells him thats the side effect of being a demon, but Crowley knows its something more - the Mark of Cain needs to be fed. Meanwhile, Sam (Jared Padalecki) is captured by Cole (guest star Travis Aaron Wade), an angry man who blames Dean for his fathers death years ago and wants revenge. Cole tortures Sam, hoping hell tell him where Dean is hiding. Hannah (guest star Erica Carroll) sees how weak Castiel (Misha Collins) is becoming as his grace continues to fade, so she makes a bold choice and asks Metatron (guest star Curtis Armstrong) for help. Thomas J. Wright directed the episode written by Andrew Dabb (#1003).
now that's the demon dean I've been waiting for

MyCarCheck.com has today named the five cars with the highest risk of being stolen here in the UK in 2016. The unfortunate winner of this prize by some margin is the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, according to the statistics 1 in every 6 Carrera 4S flags up with a stolen warning.
I know what you're thinking, how exactly did the 911 end up at the top of the pile, let's be honest the streets of the UK are not exactly littered with 911's sitting there waiting to be taken by some toerag. Whilst Porsche's sales figures are not exactly full of details. The numbers merely confirm that they sell in the region of 60k units across their entire range, per year, across the entire of Europe.
Also given that modern cars are quite difficult to steal unless you have the keys of course; so how did so many potentially go missing at some point in their lives. Likelihood is that most were stolen via key theft or via other fraudulent means as thankfully in the UK carjacking and similar crimes remain rare.
Second on the list is the rather horrid Mercedes-Benz CLC 220 Cdi. No real idea why anyone would want to steal one of these abominations but I guess there is no accounting for taste.
Making up the remainder of the top five is the Range Rover Evoque Dynamics D4A which is a surprise entry as again it's a recent car so should be difficult to steal. When I drove one I found it difficult to drive it even with the keys (confusing start system and old age). Lastly, we are greeted with the old age pensioner's favorite the Honda Jazz, not just any Jazz mind you as the CVT-equipped car seems to be the toe rags choice (buy a manual and its toerag proof).
Finally, the excellent Ford Fiesta Zetec is the fifth toe rags choice for light-fingered activity, as the Fiesta is the UK's bestselling car by some margin this is no surprise as you cannot turn a corner without tripping over one in the UK.
As to how solid this data is open to some debate, what can be confirmed is that for the period April 2015 to March 2016 a staggering 80,047 cars were stolen (up 8% from the prior year) in the UK. Also, for some rather odd reason, this does not include cars that were stolen as a direct result of a burglary or by fraudulent means.
Either way, running a vehicle check before you buy a car is not just common sense, it should be standard practice for anyone buying a car end of……
UK Cars with the highest percentage of stolen warnings in 2016

The No. 13 car belonging to the young sprint car driver who was struck and killed by three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart will race again this weekend.
Ohsweken (ohz-WEE-kehn) Speedway race director Doug Leonard says Kevin Ward Jr.'s friend, Dylan Swiernik, will drive Ward's car in the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals at the Ontario track on Saturday.
Leonard says about 20 of Ward's relatives will attend. A Friday night tribute race called the Kevin Ward Jr. Young Stars Challenge was also planned.
It's the first time that Ward's car will race since he was killed Aug. 9 after climbing out of his car during a nighttime race in Canandaigua, New York.
Authorities are expected to say next week whether Stewart may face charges.

Lundberg is a leading supplier of evaporation technology. Applications of our technology include: full sets with integrated condensate strippers and high solids concentrators, reconfiguration of your existing evaporator systems, blow heat pre-evaporation systems, and flash evaporators. The technology utilized is matched to the specific requirements of each application.
We offer a full range of tubular evaporation technologies, including: falling film, long tube vertical, and enhanced flooded forced circulation designs. Our experience in evaporation ranges from ethanol production to classical softwood or hardwood kraft black liquor systems found in paper mills. We are also proficient in dealing with difficult to evaporate liquors, such as wheat straw and bagasse.
On This Page
Lundberg provides falling film evaporator technology for use in many applications. Falling film technology has certain advantages over rising film technology. It is suitable for use in high solids applications where higher heat transfer coefficients are necessary and where a greater turn-down ratio is required for operational flexibility. Also, falling film bodies distribute fluids across the tube bundle via a distribution tray. This ensures wetting of all the tubes and minimizes dry spots so that the falling film body is more resistant to scaling.
Lundberg provides multiple effect evaporator technology for use in many different applications. Our system design is based on our extensive experience with both the modification of existing evaporators and building new installations. Each project is fully customized to the customer's process requirements. Lundberg will use a mix of available technologies to provide a system that optimizes cost, efficiency and reliability.
Lundberg supplies the REX forced circulation crystallizer for evaporator systems where high solids are required. The REX system includes spiral tube inserts, which disrupt the boundary layer at the tube wall, causing turbulent flow in the tubes even at high viscosities. The advantages include high heater transfer coefficients, lower tube velocities, and a reduction in required horsepower compared with other high solids crystallizer designs.
Pre-evaporation systems utilize low-level waste heat to evaporate weak liquor prior to the main evaporator train. Three heat sources are most often utilized in a pre-evaporator system: heat from a blow heat system, heat from a standalone concentrator, or heat from a continuous digester extraction liquor flash tank. A Lundberg pre-evaporator can improve steam economy and/or increase evaporator capacity.

New Delhi: Prateik seems to be preparing very hard for his role in 'Issaq' -- he has learnt fire dance and parkour to play a Banarasi boy.
After taking diction classes and physical training to get the correct nuances to play a Banarasi lad, Prateik trained in fire dance and parkour to be able to do his stunt sequences perfectly, said a source.
The film directed by Manish Tiwary of 'Dil Dosti Etc' fame is the modern adaptation of Shakespeare`s "Romeo and Juliet". It is yet to go on floors, but it will be shot entirely in Banaras. It is produced by Shailesh Singh and Dhaval Gada.

This was a stitch I was looking forward to trying out and it did not disappoint. The picture in the book of a solid colored version is pretty, but I like the three color version I tried. It's a happy and somewhat whimsical stitch that makes for good baby blankets, blankets, and scarves. It's somewhat lacy, but not overly so. The color combination, along with the stitch itself reminds me of lollipops. I will definitely use this stitch again.
Color Pattern:
(1 row of yellow, 1 row of orange, 1 row of purple) repeated, ending with a row of orange; the border is purple.
Here's the pattern:
Chain 88, then work stitch until square. Add the standard border and you're done.
Round 1: sc around, 3 sc in corner
Round 2: dc around, 5 dc in corner
Round 3: sc around, 3 sc in corner
Round 4: (sc, ch 3, sk 1) around, (sc, ch 3, sc in same stitch) at corner
I made this with Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn in Lavender, Cream-sickle,and Pastel Yellow with a J hook.

I have been a professional landscape photographer since 2002. It was a somewhat convoluted route that brought me to where I am today. As a clueless 17 year old, trying to decide what to do with my life, there were only two things clear to me: I wasn't that interested in becoming rich and I wanted to be able to work outdoors.
I thought a degree in Zoology might suit me, so I went to Nottingham University to do just that. It's a fascinating subject and I loved the fieldwork, but there was one module that stood out for me. That was the module on Biological Photography.
In 2001, a year after graduating from my Zoology degree, I was heading back to Nottingham University to take my place on the newly launched MSc course in Biological Imaging. This was a very intensive year during which I learned all sorts of things including web design, film making, business planning and digital photography techniques. I was in my element and didn't want to stop so once I graduated from this course, I immediately plunged into the unpredictable world of freelance nature photography.
My wife and I were married in 2005 and decided to start married life by moving to New Zealand, right in the middle of the most exciting Ashes series in modern times! It was while I was here that I came to appreciate the value of true wilderness, something I had not experienced before, and as a result I began to focus on photographing the landscape. In a world under pressure from a growing human population, it is difficult to argue the case for wilderness preservation, especially when on the other side of the debate are issues such as employment and energy generation. That is why I have huge respect for photographers such as Ansel Adams and Peter Dombrovskis, who managed to win this argument, simply by capturing the beauty of wild places in their photographs.
I now live back in the UK with my wife Beth and our children George, Monty and Lucy. When I'm not out taking photographs, you'll no doubt find me either:
- up some scaffolding repairing the 300 year old pile of damp rubble that became our family home in 2016 (more about that on my blog here: doublehouse.freeblog.site).
- on the allotment or in the kitchen cooking up something exciting with the produce.
- playing cricket for Henleaze Old Boys or Bedminster CC, chasing that elusive half century!

PHILADELPHIA -- As soon as the assorted media entered the Eagles' locker room on Saturday night following their 15-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons, the message from the players was loud, clear and explicit.
"(Screw) 'em," linebacker Mychal Kendricks said of the oddsmakers that made the Eagles three-point underdogs.
"I just wanna know what it taste like. What it feel like," defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan said of the people who picked against them. "You can't close off a team's chances because one guy is down."
"I'm glad they aren't in charge of my finances," tight end Zach Ertz said of the people who bet against them. "Feels like all those guys that picked the game are wrong."
No matter which locker you went to on Saturday inside of Lincoln Financial Field, the message was the same from an Eagles team that not many expected to advance past the Falcons and into the NFC Championship game, which they will now play in next Sunday.
Nick Foles flips the bird to haters in Eagles win
"I ain't going to lie, I feel good right now. To be the underdog and for us to go out and fight like we did, to play that last play like we did, you always dream of being in those moments and overcoming it," defensive end Brandon Graham said. "We are one step closer to where we wanna be."
The Eagles came within a yard of not getting the chance to rub the victory into the faces of those who picked against them.
The Falcons, trailing by just five points, had the ball on the two-yard line with one minute and five seconds to play in the game. After receiving the snap, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan rolled to his right, and after surveying the field, had no choice but to throw it up to wide receiver Julio Jones in the end zone.
After cornerback Jalen Mills tipped away the pass, the Eagles had the victory not many though they would get.
"In a game like this, playoff game, knowing they are going to try to get him the ball. He is the best player on the their team," Mills said. "As a defender, you want to be in those type of situations. Fourth-and-goal on the goal line. To make a play to end the game, that is what you live for."
Now, the Eagles will wait to find out their next opponent, the winner of the New Orleans and Minnesota Vikings.
Whoever the opponent is, however, the message from the Eagles' locker room was clear to those that still doubt them.
"Do it again next week," Graham said.

Woven Carbon Fiber
TenPoint utilized an industry first woven carbon fiber barrel to make its new Carbon Fusion CLS — a lighter and quieter bow that shaves a remarkable 20 ounces from the company's original Phantom CLS design. Threaded aluminum rivet nuts "float" the barrel inside the stock to reduce noise and vibration.
An extruded aluminum trigger mount and the highly regarded 3 1⁄2-pound patented PowerTouch trigger are fitted securely inside the rear of the barrel cavity. The barrel's flight deck has extremely low friction for improved string life.
The 12-inch IsoTaper Limbs are fitted with MR Cams and D-75 string and cables that, combined, create a 185-pound power plant that shoots 345 fps and generates 111 foot-pounds of kinetic energy.
The Carbon Fusion CLS also features TenPoint's DFI (dry-fire inhibitor) and GripSafety, is equipped with the ACUdraw or ACUdraw 50 cocking units and the new RangeMaster Pro variable speed/power scope.
In Realtree APG and sold only as complete package including case, carbon arrows, silencer kit, SteddyEddy monopod system and more.
MSRP: $1,999 (w/ACUdraw), $1,899 (w/ACUdraw 50)

Dressed In Mossy Oak
The Copperhead TS is back and better than ever for 2011. Now in film-dipped Mossy Oak Treestand camo, PSE's Copperhead TS is a rock solid performer and features an ergonomic thumbhole grip and adjustable foreend and rifle-style stock for added comfort and accuracy.
The trigger assembly has an automatic safety mechanism that engages when cocked, and the fixed-mount, Weaver-style scope rail offers universal mounting options. At 150 pounds of draw weight, it's rated to shoot 260 fps.
Package includes Viper Series 4×32 multi-reticle scope, four 20-inch Charger bolts (points not included), six-arrow quick-detach quiver and cocking strap.

Lightweight & Portable
The Excalibur Axiom SMF's 175-pound draw weight and 14 ½-inch power stroke make it comfortable to cock, yet it's still capable of speeds in excess of 300 fps.
A black fiber reinforced composite mainframe helps it achieve a light, six-pound mass weight, making the crossbow more comfortable to carry in the field.
Sold only as a kit, the Axiom SMF comes with a matching multiplex crossbow scope, rings and base, a four-arrow quiver, four arrows and a rope cocking aid.

Binary Cam Technology
Reinforced limbs on the Stryker StrykeForce are designed to withstand greater tension, plus Binary synchronized dua- cam technology with reinforced cams allow for a higher draw weight and letoff.
The result is a 190-pound draw weight bow capable of speeds of 385 fps and 140 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. Binary Cams also function as a single unit, resulting in perfect timing, which means more accurate shots.
Other features include a Teflon coated string hook to enhance string life, WhisperTech string stops for added stealth, a bolt sensor for added safety, military Weaver rail for aftermarket accessories and an adjustable pistol foregrip for comfort and stability.
Available with an optional accessory package that includes a multiple reticle red-dot 1×30 scope, four matched 425-grain bolts with fieldpoints, detachable sling and hip quiver. Cocking is made effortless with the EZ2Draw Cocking Aid that reduces pull by 50 percent. Available in Realtree Hardwoods HD and Next FLX Digital camo.

Three-Pound Trigger
Scorpyd's RDT-165 has a modest 165 pounds of draw weight. However, an extra-long 20 1⁄2-inch power stroke and parallel, reverse-draw limbs result in lots of speed with less vibration, recoil and hand shock.
It's capable of shooting a 400-grain, 22-inch arrow at 425 fps. String slap and limb vibration are further reduced with rubber Tip Tamers. Scorpyd's Jim Kempf also engineered a unique trigger that only requires three pounds of pull.
The RDT-165 comes with many other hunter-friendly features, including a folding stock that makes cocking the crossbow easy even when sitting in a treestand. The crossbow is 37 1⁄2 inches long when ready to fire and 27 1⁄2 inches when the stock is folded.
Its 17 1⁄2-inch cocked width makes for easy maneuvering, even in tight places. To ensure user safety, the RDT-165 has an anti-dry fire bolt sensor. Crossbow hunters looking for less draw weight can purchase the RDT-165 with an extra set of 145 pound limbs.
Like the Scorpyd RDT-100 and RDT-125,
the RDT-165 can be purchased as a package that includes a quiver, four bolts, four fieldpoints, a sling, rubber string dampeners and a scope.

Laminated Limbs
Barnsdale/Gordon Glass laminated limbs on Barnett's Buck Commander propel arrows at a blistering 365 fps with 129 foot-pounds of kinetic energy, while AVI overmolding technology reduces shot noise up to 30 percent.
An aluminum flight rail enhances precision shooting and increases durability. A patented, shoot-through foot stirrup offers increased power and speed by extending the power stroke to 15 inches, while allowing for a more compact fit and perfect balance.
The Buck Commander features Barnett's new 3.5-pound MIM, Anti-Dry Fire trigger system and high-tech composite stock that allows for the integration of a crank cocking device. Includes illuminated 3×32 scope that offers the illumination of a red-dot sight with the efficiency and accuracy of a multi-reticle scope.

Reverse-Limb Design
The Armcross Leo Pro combines Leonardo da Vinci's reverse-limb configuration with the most modern technology to produce a bow that's efficient, compact and easy to operate.
The ABS, fiberglass-filled stock is lightweight and has an ergonomic shape for better handling. The barrel and riser are made of a durable aluminum alloy, and the rail is made of PA to reduce friction and preserve string life.
The three-pound trigger is made of hard steel to ensure durability and long life. The composite limbs are strong enough to hold the 175-pound draw weight, yet their reverse configuration spans a mere 16 inches of width.
MSRP: Not Provided

Ideal For Treestands
For 2011, Darton has revamped its compact Serpent, giving it a lighter feel and a sleeker look. The new, trigger-forward design allows for a longer power stroke, which translates to more power and better balance.
The one-piece stock also features a pistol grip and a wider forearm section with a flare to keep the shooter's hand away from the shooting plane. Darton also managed to shave half a pound of weight compared to the 2010 model.
The compact Serpent, available in Realtree APG, is the perfect treestand or ground blind crossbow with its narrow front end and perfect balance. It fires a 425-grain arrow at a lethal 325 fps. The machined aluminum barrel has a Teflon-impregnated arrow track for more consistent arrow flight. A Positive Limb Alignment System and precision receiver and trigger also help produce tight groups.
Also included is a safety that engages when cocked and a new dry-fire prevention mechanism.

Gas-Powered Cocking
Parker's new Concorde features a new, internal cocking mechanism powered by a 9-ounce CO2 cylinder housed inside the crossbow's vented forearm. The cylinder's location and weight distribution contributes to the Concorde having a neutral balance point in your hands, optimizing accuracy and minimizing fatigue.
No heavy front end here! The Concorde launches arrows at over 300 fps thanks to 165-pound limbs that are swept back in a compact frame only 16 3⁄4 inches wide when cocked. The 100-percent m
achined aluminum barrel and riser are married seamlessly with factory installed String Suppressors for ultra-quiet shooting.
Parker's innovative G2 trigger is at the heart of the Concorde's accuracy and has an automatic anti-dry fire mechanism. The composite stock features an ergonomic pistol grip.
MSRP: $1,200-plus (depending on scope)

Maximum Penetration
Designed for maximum penetration, the Covert XB-3.5 and XB-3.5T (3.5T includes a carbon weave finish) feature 115 foot-pounds of energy. Stable to hold on target, Covert crossbows shoot great thanks to a recoil-dampening parallel-limb design.
The crossbow comes with a quick-detach Husky Pro quiver with Picatinny mounting system, Pro 5 Step Deluxe lighted scope with red/green dual illumination for varying light conditions and includes three Surge 20-inch bolts with practice points and rail lubricant.
The Covert XB-3.5 series are the highest performing crossbows in the Carbon Express line, which also includes the X-Force series.
