You follow an exciting activity trail around the Hall, join a workshop making cards and decorations and then OMG meet the big man himself in his present stuffed grotto. Adults accompanying children go free and the whole festive fandango lasts around one hour and fifteen minutes. What a treat. And there will be mulled wine (after 11am of course) and mince pies. This is stupendously popular, I am trying to book and am number 1715 in the computer queue. royalalberthall

What You Should Know Before Buying A Juicer
3 hours ago
It is necessary to cultivate the scalp to grow hair as it is to cultivate the soil to grow a garden. Madam C.J. Walker
Posted by Yoni Empowerment at 6:40 PM
I'm a huge fan of large earrings. Even when I wasn't natural I rocked them on a regular basis.
However, I also love hair accessories. Girl I'm a big finatic when it comes to accessories in general. A girl can never have too many :-)
Hi Michelle,
I couldn't agree with you more. I also love accessories *smiles*
Thanks for stopping by Michelle. Take care !

Rhiannon looked at the knife on the table. It was quite lovely. The handle looked ornate, the wood of the handle must have been carved from a century-old tree. A diamond pattern was carved into the handle. The blade itself was crescent shaped, with small etchings on sharp end. "Servire nocte" the steel letters read.
"An old language," Rhiannon thought to herself. "What does it mean?"
Rhiannon may not have understood the language on the knife, but she knew the secret language of the knife itself. Whoever sent the blade to her made a clear statement: they were going to kill her.
Rachael looked at the text on her laptop screen. She had spent the last few weeks working on a short story she hoped to submit to a literary magazine. The story was about a noblewoman who finds a knife in her bedroom, leading her to believe an assassin is after her so her enemies can seize her lands.
Rachael still had a long way to go though. She only finally began to write the story after laboring over the details of who the woman would interrogate, what her actions result in, and what the knife was really about. But fortunately, she was in the final week of her Junior year, when classes were much more relaxed and she could spend her free time sitting in one of the Aurora High gazebos typing away on the laptop she got last Christmas.
Rachael grabbed the bottled green tea next to her and took a sip. It was pretty hot today. She wore a light shirt and pants, but the humidity was starting to get to her. She had plenty of time before the next class period (where she would most likely just keep working on the story, but hopefully near an outlet for her laptop), so she decided to keep writing.
Okay, time to begin the interrogations. First, Sir Waldo of Rhiannos Wood.
She picked up her mp3 player and flipped to a song from Wicked. She started typing on her laptop and watched as the document filled with her story.
Yaz took her headband off and wiped the sweat that was forming under it off her forehead as she made her way across the campus. It was a really humid day and she was hot even though she was only wearing a black tank top and a pair of tight fitting jeans. It wasn't like the clothes she had got any thinner either. So she was stuck with what she had on.
Yaz had managed to find a gazebo that seemed empty and she was making her way towards it. As she did so she opened up her bag and took her sketchbook out. Since the gazebo seemed empty it would be easy for her to just put some good time into her current drawing. She had her headphones in and was listening to Three Days Grace. Yaz always found that she worked better and was more creative whenever she listened to music.
As she walked into the gazebo however she saw that there was actually someone in the gazebo already. Yaz froze momentarily. She recognised the person as Rachael but she couldn't remember her surname. Luckily for Yaz Rachael was also listening to music and had yet to notice her. Yaz pulled her headphones out and said a greeting.
She then stood there awkwardly. Rachael must have had her music on louder than Yaz had thought since it didn't look like she had heard her. Yaz didn't want to interrupt Rachael because she seemed to be concentrating, but at the same time she didn't want to just sit down because that would be weird for Rachael. One minute she was on her own and then when she looks up someone is sitting next to her. Yaz didn't want that to happen to her so she didn't want to do it to Rachael so instead she opted for the simplest thing she could think of. She waved at Rachael from over the top of her laptop hoping she caught her eye so she could stop feeling so awkward.

Learning Goals: (1)Develop the ability to determine the Domain and Range for linear functions (2)Solidify conceptual and procedural understanding of solving inequalities.
- Common Core
- HSF.IF.A.1 – Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).
HSF.IF.B.5 – Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.
- HSA.REI.B.3 – Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
- A.2(A) – determine the domain and range of a linear function in mathematical problems; determine reasonable domain and range values for real-world situations, both continuous and discrete; and represent domain and range using inequalities
- A.5(B) – solve linear inequalities in one variable, including those for which the application of the distributive property is necessary and for which variables are included on both sides

It looks like Emblem3 is back! Wesley Stromberg and Keaton Stromberg said goodbye to the band earlier this year to pursue other projects, but now they're back in business — and it looks like Drew Chadwick is right there with them.
Ever since Drew left the band for a solo career, we did not expect he'd return. But then the original trio was spotted together at the Janoskians: Untold and Untrue movie premiere.
Hey what's up hello! pic.twitter.com/2pCKYQj7oG— EMBLEM3 (@EmblemThree) August 29, 2015
Days later, they posted a photo of the three of them together in silhouette.
#EMBLEM3 pic.twitter.com/28qgaTmZ4l— EMBLEM3 (@EmblemThree) September 12, 2015
Drew basically confirmed that he was back in the band, hinting that "the best has yet to come."
#3YearsOfE3 What an incredible 3 years thus far. Perhaps the best has yet to come? Infinite Love to tha #Emblems ❤ pic.twitter.com/OdEdzST6Bo— Drew Chadwick (@TrueChadwick) September 12, 2015
Woah, plot twist. This is all kinds of amazing, though. It seemed like everyone was going their separate ways, and then they pulled this. We are shocked, a little bit confused, but so totally happy. Emblem3 is back!
Are you glad Emblem3 is back? Let us know in the comments!

Thief bypasses cash for $1000 worth of beauty products
A GRAFTON nail salon owner has been left devastated by the loss of the tools of her trade in a brazen theft.
De Luxe Beauty in Queen St was broken into sometime between Monday afternoon and 8.20am on Tuesday.
Bizarrely, the offender/s bypassed electronic items and cash in favour of more than $1000 worth of beauty products from two businesses operating within the building.
Nails by Keira was hit hardest, with owner Keira Hampshire being cleared out of all her stock, including nail polish bottles, acrylic powder, glitter, rhinestones and 3D charms.
She had only been set up in the Queen St premises for two months.
"The hairdresser got there this morning and rang me at 9am, and said you need to come down here, the stuff's gone," she said.
"They've taken pretty much everything.
"All these bare shelves... it feels like being punched in the face.
"They've also taken out specific hair colours (from the hairdressing salon) and put them into a beauty case but it was left on the floor in my room."
Mrs Hampshire said forensics had uncovered fingerprints from a small hand, which she hoped could be used to track down those responsible.
The theft means she can't resume work until her product is re-stocked, but, pending replacement product, she plans to be back in business by Friday.
"I don't just do French tips, I do fancy designs, so all of my design items are gone," she said.
"That's taken me a little while to build up and although it's just stuff that's going to take a while to get back again."
Grafton police Acting Inspector Dave Lollback said the investigation was ongoing. Anyone with information on this incident can phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

It has been a very rough week. I found that one of my sales reps had bid for one of our products at a fourth of the cost. Moreover, as the week unfolded, the sales rep never told me that there was a "special discount" for this particular customer that was verbally agreed upon – but not in writing – and has been going on for a year.
An order came through on the fax that the CFO picked up and brought it to my attention. The CEO was involved, the President was involved, and it took me a week to pull together legal documents to ensure that the product (basically our livelihood) was going to be protected as it was shipped out the door.
The problem is that another order was brought to my attention by the rep. "Here is another signed order that they are waiting for." But, the rep NEVER proceeded to tell me that this was something that had been going on for nearly twelve months. Instead, the distributor called me ranting and raving. I indicated that "Bill" was never authorized to give that particular discount. "We've been doing this for a year!" was the response. So, "Bill" had been keeping this from me, and, when the huge product issue came up, STILL never mentioned, "and by the way, I had this discount in place for twelve months now."
Finally, I asked the rep for a variety of materials so that I can produce a letter to the customer, indicating that effective on X date, we will no longer honor this (ludicrous) discount that they had been enjoying for a year, blah, blah, blah. I needed some things to finalize and place a call to the customer next week. I'm a very visual person, so I always need to see scenarios on discounts, why they wanted this particular bargain-basement price, how much it impacts us, etc. So, I called the rep and said I needed it. Here's his response:
"When do you need this? I'm a little overwhelmed since I've been dealing with this all week and need to get to other things…"
If I could have crawled through the phone I would have and I would have went straight to the jugular. Instead, being Italian, Type-A, and probably (but not diagnosed) ADHD, I let him have it and asked for everything by noon.
This particular rep is lucky. In any other company, not only the rep, but myself, would have been on the firing line.
My advice to everyone is:
(1) Don't ever lie or withhold information to your managers!
(2) Be sure that your manager knows exactly what is going on. Special terms, special discussions with customers, and special arrangements need to be in writing and approved by your manager.

Getting Past What's Holding You Back
Everyone says they want to make positive changes.
Few will actually do it. Why? Three reasons: laziness, fear, or an inability to let go of negativity from their past.
This is sad, because happiness and prosperity are both intentional outcomes. You can ReInvent to create the life and business of your choosing. To do so, you must grow beyond items in your background that are restricting your growth.
Here's how:
Realize most people don't care. They don't care what you were in high school. Or that you failed a few times. Or that you got fired from your second job. The majority of people weren't there, can't remember, or have moved on. You should too!
Let your past motivate you. No, you're not doomed because of an impoverished background or lack of Ivy League pedigree. Use your past as inspiration. America loves a rags-to-riches story. How about Howard Schultz (Starbucks) or Dolly Parton for example?
Move. Maybe what's holding you back is your environment. Nothing brings fresh perspective like a little distance!
Sever toxic relationships. Some of your old friends don't want you to succeed because that makes them look bad. Likewise, some of your professional relationships are toxic — they don't want you to improve because it might cost them money! To get where you want to go, you must end "comfortable" relationships that are detrimental to your development. Remember, misery loves company!
Want to create the life and business of your choosing? Learn from those who've actually done it!

Sometimes It Grows Back
Today I got a haircut.
Oh my God, Skot! Tell us more! Yeah, this is all I've got any more.
I do not really know how anyone else decides when to go to the damn barber. All I know is that I do not go nearly enough. Usually around a month and a half after a typical haircut, I notice my hair in the mirror and think, "Whoop! Time for a trim!" And then I wait another month and a half before actually making the appointment, so by that time, it just looks like there's a dead okapi stapled to my head. Look, it's just not one of those things that I think about on a daily basis--I have to wait until I've achieved deceased mammal status. Part of this is, I don't really like to look in the mirror that much, because I'm kind of funny looking without being cool funny looking. I mean, I don't even have any interesting scars. Which is actually also all right with me, because scars mean physical damage, and in addition to being kind of funny looking, I'm also sort of a pussy. You see my dilemma.
Anyway. I showed up at the salon--yeah, I know--a good fifteen minutes early. But H. was ready for me. He showed me to the chair. I like H. He doesn't fuck up my hair--then again, how much damage could he do to a guy with middling self-esteem?--and best of all, he's not a talker. I have been known in the past, when making hair appointments, to request the least chattiest employee. Call me a misanthrope, but making small talk while a guy whips razor-sharp blades around my ears just isn't in my repertoire. H. is a brutally efficient hair assassin. I like that.
(The guy to the left of me was getting his hair done by a drag queen. The drag queen was discoursing loudly about, I shit you not, "the Di-vine Miss M." It may have been my imagination, but more than once I felt a certain urgency creep into H.'s snipping, as if he were suppressing a deep desire to murder the drag queen.)
I mused happily as I sat in the chair and explained to H. what I wanted. "Uh . . . make it shorter!" And it really is always a relief to get my hair cut, as I like to have my skull as aerodynamic as possible. Anything that reduces the drag on my hair as I run to the store for cigarettes is appreciated. H. got to work.
Unexpectedly, he did not immediately escort me to the sink to wash my nasty hair. Hey, what the fuck? Do I not merit a shampoo? H. coldly appraised my okapi and then grabbed the clippers. I sat glumly during the damning assessment, and then H. deployed the comb, and started shaving giant hunks of hair off of my noggin. He said nothing during the procedure, which I usually like. Then I started to feel awful. Oh my God, I thought. I'm such an asshole that the chatty queeny hairdressers won't talk to me. They won't even wash my hair! I sat in existential hair despair as H. deftly disposed of months of ratty growth. Then he bonked me on the ears and neck a few times with some sort of secret barber brush.
"Let's go give you a wash," he said. Purest relief flooded through me. He didn't hate me! He just realized that there wasn't any point in tackling my hidelicious mop without some advance demolition. It just made sense. I bet Brazilian waxers do some brute push-mowing before getting down to the detail work.
In due course, H. was all done. He then squeeze-bottled my head with some crap and professionally ruffled my hair. I never know what to do at this stage; the hair people always seem to try something funky with my uniquely uncooperative follicles, and it usually ends up looking like some sort of spectacularly ruined noodle dish. H. put a bunch of hair crap on his hands finally, and smoothed it into my skull, creating a lustrous blond helmet that sat uneasily on my bean, like a vervet monkey nervously perched on a pale basketball.
"How's that?" H. asked.
"Perfect!" I screamed, desperate to leave. Why do even good hairdressers inevitably fail horribly right at the end? It's like a wedding cake designer who tops every gorgeous confection with a tiny dollop of his own feces. "I really love it!"
I do have to say that my hair was extremely skull-fitting. Aerodynamic. He must have known I needed to buy some cigarettes.

brute push-mowing?! what an image. and ahh, to be the miniature guy with the mower.
Skot, you are not alone in your hair cutting scheduling technique. I go the "stylist" and have it cut short, then, about a month and a half later, my wife starts complaining that my hair is getting too long, then, about a month after that I start to get irritated because the only thing that it will do is slowly transform from slicked-back nothingness to a gigantic, poofy head-bush over the course of the day, then I finally call my barber who is too busy to get me in for at least another two weeks.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Oh sweetie, you do have interesting scars. It's just they're all emotional and therefore don't show. Much.
I've been culling my split ends over the past several years with a dedicated regiment of semiannual haircuts and Florida humidity. The goal is a kind of Well-Used Broom look which I'm hoping will catch on, since I'm too broke for salons.
"'Perfect!' I screamed, desperate to leave."
That and "nervously half screamed" are some of my favorites.
"'Perfect!' I screamed, desperate to leave."
That and "nervously half screamed" are some of my favorite lines.
(And I love that the google link above loads two results: your post and some other completely unrelated one about a Galapagos cruise.)
how much do American men spend on haircuts ?
Bu..wha? That Galapagos Islands site is just Skot's same "nervously half screamed" post, isn't it? It looks like they copied and pasted his whole site into their center frame. Wotsit all about?
My barber is a queeny Nepalese ex-monk, masseur, and make-up artist in the US for political asylum. It's great. He tells me stories of gurkhas and some apparent fondling of the younger soldiers by officers.
Also, he gives me kind of a crazy kung-fu scalp massage thing.
And, no matter what I say to him, he doesn't really listen. He just blathers on and on about the gurkhas and the fondling.

Bible Alphabet Handwriting Books
I am trying to compile a list of Bible Alphabet Handwriting Books. I was wondering if anyone knew of any books that have any Bible alphabet handwriting activities using lines for the children to write on. Here are a couple of books that I found that will give you an idea of what I am looking for.
Bible Alphabet Handwriting Books (has lines for the children to write on)-
Bible Stories from A to Z by Mary Murray- Each of the 26 mini-units features a letter of the alphabet and includes a Bible story with questions, an activity page, a craft, a prayer, snack, take home story, and a handwriting sheet. Click on Sample Pages to see book. Click here for another view of the book.
A Bible Alphabet by Alison Brown- Each Bible story provides a coloring/writing page that corresponds to each letter of the alphabet. Children have the opportunity to color the scene given with the Bible story and to write the word using the letter being emphasized. The sheets are perforated making them easy to remove from the book.
Do you know of any Bible Alphabet Handwriting books that have handwriting activities using lines for the children to write on? Please comment and I will add the book to the list.

چکیده انگلیسی
This paper studies the role of unemployment insurance in a sticky-price model that features an efficiency-wage view of the labor market based on unobservable effort. The risk-sharing mechanism central to the model permits, but does not force, agents to be fully insured. Structural parameters are estimated using a maximum-likelihood procedure on US data. Formal hypothesis tests reveal that the data favor a model in which agents only partially insure each other against employment risk. The results also show that limited risk sharing helps the model capture many salient properties of the business cycle that a restricted version with full insurance fails to explain.
مقدمه انگلیسی
Unemployment is a ubiquitous feature of modern economies. Yet in a dynamic general equilibrium setting, unemployment does not emerge unless certain frictions, such as efficiency wages (e.g., Danthine and Donaldson, 1990 and Gomme, 1999) or search externalities (e.g., Merz, 1995 and Andolfatto, 1996), are built into the labor market. A frequent assumption underlying these models is that workers perfectly insure each other against variations in labor income resulting from job loss. The rationale is that insurance contracts make the intertemporal decisions independent of one's employment status, thereby circumventing complications that arise from heterogeneous work histories. Restoring homogeneity to the model, the argument goes, allows the researcher to focus on the role of labor market imperfections in accounting for unemployment and other important aspects of the data. Notwithstanding the desire to highlight the labor market, the assumption of complete risk sharing has two potential drawbacks that have received little attention in the macroeconomic literature. First, there is no compelling evidence that points to full insurance as an empirically realistic premise. To the contrary, many studies using micro-level data show that unemployment spells cause a non-trivial decline in one's consumption spending (e.g., Dynarksi and Sheffrin, 1987, Cochrane, 1991, Dynarksi and Gruber, 1997, Gruber, 1997, Stephens, 2001 and Stephens, 2004). At the very least it would be useful to have a business cycle model that is more consistent with our understanding of the risk-sharing behavior of consumers. Second, the assumption of full insurance is appropriate provided its effect on the conclusions of the model are small. It is difficult to determine whether full insurance meets this standard in the absence of a model that embodies alternative insurance possibilities. In light of these issues this paper estimates an equilibrium model of unemployment that incorporates a menu of different risk-sharing options, and by doing so, departs from the widespread practice of considering only the case of full insurance. More specifically, this paper asks whether the assumption of full insurance is sufficient to explain most of the key properties of the US business cycle, or whether limiting the insurance opportunities substantially improves the fit of the model. To that end, I construct a dynamic sticky-price model that gives prominence to a frictional labor market along the lines of Alexopoulos (2004). The central idea is that workers face a temptation to shirk that arises from firms' inability to monitor effort. Consequently, employers design a payment mechanism that discourages shirking. The outcome corresponds to an efficiency wage that exceeds the market-clearing level and makes unemployment an equilibrium feature of the economy. Unemployment insurance enters the model by means of an income-pooling device that permits, but does not force, agents to fully insure each other against employment risk. Workers contribute a portion of their earnings into a fund that is redistributed equally to the unemployed. Individual contributions are governed by an exogenous function that defines the scope of insurance coverage. The specification used in the model can accommodate any one of a continuum of different arrangements, including both partial and full insurance cases.1 The paper proceeds by estimating the parameters of the model using a maximum-likelihood procedure with quarterly US data on per capita consumption, investment, the real wage, inflation, and the nominal interest rate. Two versions of the model are estimated that differ in their treatment of risk sharing. One leaves the insurance parameter unconstrained, allowing the data to ascertain the extent of risk sharing among agents. The second restricts this parameter prior to estimation to guarantee full insurance in equilibrium. Likelihood ratio tests provide the basis for a formal comparison of fit between the restricted, full insurance version and the unrestricted alternative that allows for partial insurance. Econometric results indicate that the data prefer a model in which agents are only partially insured. Point estimates of the insurance parameter imply that individual consumption is about 38 percent less for unemployed members. A likelihood ratio test of the null hypothesis of full insurance is easily rejected at standard significance levels. Although useful for comparing model fit, likelihood ratio tests are not very informative about precisely which features of the data are better explained by the inclusion of partial insurance. Imposing the full insurance restriction causes all of the parameters to deviate from their unconstrained estimates, so any discernable shift in empirical performance is the result of changes in all of the parameter values, not just in the degree of risk sharing. The log-likelihood criterion alone is, therefore, not sufficient to identify the specific contribution of the partial insurance mechanism. To evaluate the role of insurance coverage independently from other features of the model, I conduct various simulations of the unconstrained model with partial insurance and compare the findings to those from an identical version with full insurance imposed after estimation. First, impulse response functions show that partial insurance, by altering the pattern of real wage dynamics, enables key structural shocks to have a bigger and more persistent effect on measures of real economic activity. Second, evidence from a broad survey of moments confirms that limited risk sharing helps match the low relative volatility of the real wage and the small correlation between wages and output observed in the data. It also boosts the degree of wage persistence, as reflected in the correlations between current and lagged real wages. Third, variance decompositions reveal that the unrestricted model with partial insurance is more consistent with the belief that monetary shocks have a modest impact on the business cycle, while investment-specific technology shocks play a dominant role in driving economic fluctuations.There are a few recent papers showing that the performance of business cycle models can be improved in certain areas by restricting the insurance opportunities available to agents. Using a GMM procedure, Alexopoulos (2004) estimates a flexible-price model with unobservable effort driven by technology and fiscal shocks. Two distinct insurance arrangements are examined by imposing alternative calibrations on the wage-pooling equation. The first is the case of full insurance, and the second is a partial insurance plan whereby consumption declines by about 22 percent when unemployed. The results indicate that partial insurance helps amplify and propagate the responses to both shocks while improving the volatility and co-movement of real wages and employment. In a related paper Alexopoulos (2007) shows that partial insurance also generates a more sluggish price response to monetary shocks from the perspective of a limited participation model. Aside from the inclusion of sticky prices, this paper extends Alexopoulos' research by conducting statistical inference on the insurance component of the model. Alexopoulos bases her comparison of insurance schemes on an assortment of key second moments, leaving open the question of whether partial insurance actually improves the fit of the model. I impose greater econometric discipline by estimating the degree of risk sharing in an environment that nests full insurance as a special case. The maximum-likelihood strategy employed here enables the researcher to formally test the null hypothesis of complete risk sharing against the alternative of partial insurance. Givens (2008) develops a monetary business cycle model that combines sticky prices with unobservable labor effort. Similar to the present study, his model features an insurance mechanism that allows for varying degrees of risk sharing. Through dynamic simulations, Givens finds that limiting the scope of insurance coverage leads to greater persistence in the path of output after a monetary shock and more sluggishness in the response of inflation. By focusing on maximum-likelihood estimation, this paper is different from Givens' study, the results of which are predicated on a less rigorous calibration of the parameters. In the course of taking the model to the data, several features are added that have been shown to enrich the dynamics of this class of models. These include capital accumulation with adjustment costs, habit formation in consumption, dynamic price indexation, and an interest rate rule for monetary policy. The model is also augmented by a richer set of disturbances, namely, neutral and investment-specific technology shocks, a preference shock, a cost-push shock, a monetary shock, and a labor supply shock affecting the hours margin. The inclusion of these elements is not meant to be an extension of Givens (2008) by and of itself, but rather a necessary step to implementing the econometric procedure described above. Simpler models that lack these ingredients often produce highly misspecified representations of the data generating process, which can lead to difficulties in interpreting the estimation results
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
This paper estimates a sticky-price model that gives prominence to a shirking, efficiency-wage view of the labor market along the lines of Alexopoulos (2004). Central to the model is an insurance mechanism that allows, but does not require, agents to fully insure against income risk. The main objectives are to determine the extent of risk sharing implied by the data and to assess the importance of the insurance mechanism for improving model fit. Maximum likelihood estimates reveal that the data prefer an arrangement in which individuals only partially insure. Likelihood ratio tests reject the hypothesis of full insurance. Simulations of models with and without full insurance provide additional, albeit less formal, evidence in favor of limited risk sharing. In particular, I find that with partial insurance the model is better at capturing the sample volatilities and correlations involving the real wage. Even though partial insurance improves empirical performance along numerous dimensions, some concerns remain that warrant further consideration. First, the model generates too much (un)employment volatility. Second, the correlations between the real wage and inflation are inconsistent with the data and invariant to the scope of insurance coverage (see Fig. 5). These facts suggest that the present shirking model lacks the right economic machinery needed to capture the true dynamic relationships reflected in the sample. A more sophisticated model of unemployment that emphasizes search frictions in the labor market along the lines of Mortensen and Pissarides (1994) could possibly correct these deficiencies. Indeed, there is now a large literature that integrates labor search into otherwise traditional sticky-price models of the business cycle (e.g., Walsh, 2005, Krause and Lubik, 2007, Trigari, 2009 and Christoffel et al., 2009). The resulting framework has become the workhorse model with which to study the impact of labor market frictions on output and inflation dynamics.32 Lastly, a more appealing model would allow for joint inference about the extent of risk sharing and the size of nominal rigidity. Data limitations make it difficult in the present study to identify the adjustment probability that governs the degree of price stickiness. Recent papers have had some success in identifying this parameter by using Bayesian methods. I believe that confronting all these issues is an important task but properly the business of future research.

James Harden Wants A Phone Call From Khloe Kardashian After Being Dumped
Although James Harden and Khloe Kardashian's relationship ended with a simple text from the reality star, an insider close to the Houston Rockets player revealed EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife.com that James thinks he deserves more than a text. He wants a phone call from his ex!
Khloe Kardashian, 31, ended her relationship with James Harden, 26, with one quick text, but the Houston Rockets player wasn't very happy with that. In fact, an insider close to James tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that the basketball player wants Khloe to call him up on the phone instead.
"While James is fine with this situation, he thinks Khloe is acting a little childish," an insider revealed EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife.com. "He feels he deserves some sort of closure. A brief phone call from her would've done it. He would've truly appreciated that." While James isn't too upset that Khloe and Lamar Odom, 35, decided to give their marriage a second try, the NBA player still believes he deserves much more than Khloe gave him.
James wasn't just someone Khloe would go to just to have fun. "James isn't one of her rapper boyfriends or another one of her dudes in the rolodex that she calls when she's looking for a good time," the insider added. The two constantly hung out and the 26-year-old was even there for Khloe when Lamar reportedly ambushed her before her spin class! Whether James receives a phone call from Khloe or not, there's one thing that's for certain. He's definitely learned a lesson from the failed relationship.
James Vows To Never Date A Married Woman Again
Poor James. His split from Khloe really made him realize that he doesn't want to get involved with another married woman again! "The entire situation is funny to James," a source close to him EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com. "He can't stop shaking his head. It's very comical [to him.]" James actually thinks it's all some "high school sh*t happening to him," except he's an adult! Well, at least he can see the humor in what happened.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Should Khloe give James a call to talk things out?

California voted for Al Gore, so Bush will get even by letting energy companies - led by Kenneth Lay of Enron, whose employees have given more money to Bush than anyone else - steal billions from California citizens.
Bush to California: Drop Dead
Stacey Moberly
You've just been named the victor in a bitterly contested national election. Your legitimacy is in doubt amongst a large percentage of the population, and nine of ten African-Americans voted for your opponent. Hispanic Americans voted in the majority for your opponent. You turn around and ignore them because you won without their support. Politics as usual from the Republican Party.
Bush faces much the same situation in California. Bush "won" the election without California's hefty 54 electoral votes. He leads the United States without a mandate in the planet's sixth-largest economy. This does not seem to bother him, although it should. California has always been a Democratic stronghold, but the Democrats gained ground in the 2000 election and handed Bush a decisive 54% to 42% defeat. The situation was similar in Texas in 1992 and 1996, yet the Clinton Administration did not ignore the Lone Star State.
In 1998, FEMA approved federal aid to help fight fires in Presidio County, Texas. This money comes from the President's Disaster Relief Fund. Later the same year, Bush requested FEMA's help again when he declared 20 counties disaster areas due to flooding and damage from tornados. Bush blasted Clinton's poverty tour and obliquely praised FEMA again when he said, "Perhaps he ought to come to farm country if he wants to find people who are hurting" during a campaign stop in Iowa in 1999. (Source: Des Moines Register, 7/16/1999) He sounds like a compassionate fellow, doesn't he? Fast forward to 2001.
The state of California is in the throes of the state's worst power crisis ever, resulting from the state legislature's 1996 deregulation of the electricity industry, signed into law by former Republican governor Pete Wilson. The industry based future demand for electricity from figures from the late 1980s and early 1990s, when California was in a recession. Demand for electricity quickly outpaced the supply during the booming mid and late 1990s, and as a result, California's electricity industry found itself struggling to keep up. California's current governor, Gray Davis, has repeatedly asked the federal government for help. In the waning days of Clinton's administration, Clinton required distributors to continue to sell power to the state to avert a statewide (and possibly nationwide) crisis. Alan Greenspan has warned of a ripple effect that could undermine the decade-long period of prosperity that this country has been enjoying. (As daily rolling blackouts darken parts of Northern California, power wholesalers are making out like bandits, charging up to $600 per megawatt-hour of electricity. The sky-high prices threaten to bankrupt California's electricity industry.)
The city of San Diego was the first victim of deregulation in California. San Diego Gas & Electric was the first utility to deregulate in 1999. By 2000, SDG&E customers' bills tripled. San Francisco was the next city to fall prey to the crisis, suffering rolling blackouts in June 2000. Relief came for SDG&E customers that September in the form of a three-year price cap, but in the twilight of Clinton's presidency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission quickly put a stop to it by allowing only a flexible cap rate, meaning that the utilities could charge customers more if it was "warranted." This gave utilities enough wiggle room to raise rates, and the stage was set for disaster and socialization of losses only days after Bush was selected as the President-Elect. (The new head of the FERC, Curt Herbert, Jr., is opposed to price-fixing and to any federal intervention in the power crisis.) Two weeks before Bush's inauguration, Californians were slapped with a 7 to 15% rate increase by utilities who whined about going bankrupt and laying off employees, something they obviously should have thought about when their lobbyists pushed deregulation legislation through the State Legislature in 1996. A few days later, SoCal Edison announced that it could not pay the $596 million it owed to energy wholesalers. Of course, this half a billion dollars will be paid by some of the most heavily taxed people in the United States: Californians. Why is Bush refusing to help California, the most populous state in the nation, risking economic disaster for not only the state, but also the entire country? The answer is simple. Money.
California cannot produce enough electricity to satisfy the demands of customers. This is a well-known fact. The state of California only produces 16% of the natural gas, 53% of the oil, and 75% of the electricity that it consumes. It imports natural gas from Canada, the Southwest, and the Rockies. It imports oil from Alaska and overseas. It imports electricity from the Southwest and the Pacific Northwest, and more recently, Canada. However, as populations increase the demand on utilities in these regions, they are less able to sell to California, and Canada has threatened to cut California off completely. California has to buy power from somewhere or the lights will go out. Enter Enron.
Enron is the nation's single largest purveyor of natural gas in the country. Bush's ties to Enron are well known, Enron being one of the single largest contributors to his 2000 campaign and to the Republican Party. Enron's CEO, Kenneth Lay, was a member of Bush's energy transition team and has a lot of influence. Enron is one company that stands to profit enormously from the continuation of the energy crisis in California, and Bush only stands to benefit from his largesse to Enron in refusing to help the citizens of California. One hand washes the other, and the people of California are left…literally…in the dark. The Republican Party, responsible (at least the California faction) for the crisis, will socialize the losses while energy interests, traditionally fond of Republican candidates, will make out like bandits and appreciatively line Republican pockets in time for the 2002 election.
This crisis is no more an average Californian's fault than a major earthquake or flood. They had no control over the deregulation of the utilities. Disguised as a money-saving measure, AB 1890 sailed through the House and Senate in California. AB 1890 was actually a stranded cost bailout, adding $27 billion in debt to the California economy. It averages to $844 per capita, or $3400 per family. Only the Congressional bailout of the S&Ls ($120 billion) can compare in its sheer enormity. It's outrageous. Had there been an earthquake or flood in California, Governor Davis could request aid from FEMA and would receive it. However, powerless (literally) Californians, victims of an overzealous, industry-favoring legislature, will be forced to bear the burden of this astronomical blunder themselves, thanks to President Bush, who only stands to gain financially from the crisis. I cannot myself remember a President who was so openly corrupt….or hypocritical.

Madrid Barajas Airport Guide
In this section you will find traveller airport reviews as well as our Madrid Barajas Airport Guide with info on WiFi, lounges, facilities and services....and yes, even the names of some airport hotels in case you decide that sleeping in the airport is not for you!
Madrid Barajas best place to sleep is in the departure area, upstairs, about 20 people here right now between checkin point nr.153 and 130. No seats but with a coat on the floor and the backpack as a pillow is quite confi! And best thing, Free WiFi :)-Мичаи on Facebook
Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down of what travellers have reported to us during their time at Madrid Barajas Airport.
What to Expect
- The airport has four terminals: T1, T2, T3, and T4. T4 is a very large, new, modern terminal and also has a satellite terminal, T4S. T1 houses low-cost carriers so it has fewer seats and facilities.
- The facilities and amenities are generally very good, but isn't very comfortable for overnight sleepers.
- T4 has some 24-hour eateries and cafes. Each terminal has vending machines. See Food & Drinks in the airport guide below.
- WiFi is available. See WiFi information in the airport guide below.
Where to Sleep
- If you do not have a boarding ticket, you will not be permitted to stay inside the airport at night. You will be kicked out. Security makes the round at approx. 11:00PM.
- Airport staff are generally tolerant of overnight travellers trying to sleep, but security may wake you after 5:00AM as security starts to open.
- Seats are mostly wooden and hard.

- The lights generally stay bright overnight, so bring a sleep mask/eyeshades.

weihenweizen (521) Charleston, West Virginia | August 24, 2017
Part of a big complex right next to Publix with a big paved parking lot. Ambiance is nice wine shop. The guys that work here know their stock and go out of their way to help you. Bottle selection was quite good, not nearly as picked over as Craft Brewed. Prices were the best for the area. Hope to come back.
Travlr (3459) Charlotte , North Carolina | July 23, 2016
In a large shopping are next to a Publix, so there's lots of parking. Beers are at the back, and selection is huge. Well organized by country and region with a good bit of local stuff plus ciders and meads. 15 taps or so, including a handful of local things. Growlers and crowlers available, and they had a bunch of crowlers in a cooler next to the taps for beers that had already tapped, a very nice touch. Friendly knowledgeable service. Great place.
thomasarose (6) Tennessee | November 7, 2014
Very friendly service, decent selection but not widest/best in Nashville. Easy parking. Need more cooler space and better options to build your own six.
AndyW68 (82) Louisville, Kentucky | July 10, 2013
Nice store but selection was not as varied as I like. Great fora neighborhood store, but not a beer destination.
jbrana (33) NASHVILLE, Tennessee | June 30, 2013
I used to like this place quite a bit, but it's gone down hill as of lately. The service used to be exceptional, and now - not so much. Their selection is pretty good, and the main reason I used to like this shop was because every beer was available as a single. Now, while most beers are available as a single, there are some that aren't, and when I've asked to break down the pack, I've been told no.
edgallow (162) nashville, Tennessee | June 1, 2013
Small shop with a good selection of high gravity beers. Most of the six pack stuff was available in singles.
perramount (1) Calhoun, Georgia | December 25, 2010
Quite good selection for TN. Staff is friendly and helpful. And they sell beer - so that's good.
swenocha (12) Franklin, Tennessee | April 9, 2010
Great high-alc beer selection. One of the bests in the Nashville area.
MmmcKay (13) Brentwood, Tennessee | July 30, 2009
Decent enough place. The beer selection of plus 6% bottles is pretty good for the Nashville/Franklin area. Some different stuff, but still similar to what everybody else has in the area. Staff didn't pay much attention to me. I was greeted then left alone. Which is fine. When I had questions I went to the register. They didn't seem to be great spirits. However, they were knowledgeable enough to help me make an informed decision. I would go back, but it isn't my top destination for high gravity brews.
Beerona97 (114) Washington | March 6, 2009| Updated November 23, 2011
This is a great place with an awesome selection. They have a good deal of cold beers as well as about a twelve foot long seven foot tall section of warm beer. They always have specials on seasonals and random new beers. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to go to get quality beer. ..... I was just in here again the other day and found some stuff that Midtown, Frugals and J Barleycorn did not have. This has long been my go-to store in TN for high alc beers and the selection never disappoints. I was also told that they do weekly beer tastings on Thursday nights.

With the exception of the corrupt businessmen and no-name criminals that Oliver Queen faced in the first episodes of Season 1, Arrow has done a tremendous job of featuring a variety of DC villains. Not only have they included most of Green Arrow's rogues gallery from the comics like Merlyn, lock King and Count Vertigo, but they've also grabbed villains from other corners of the DC universe to antagonize Starling City's archer, from Teen Titans villains Deathstroke and Brother Blood to the government sponsored Suicide Squad. This season the main antagonist is Ra's al Ghul, someone who has primarily fought Batman. Whether a villain belongs to a specific hero doesn't mater as long as that villain fits into Arrow's narrative. So don't think for one moment that Arrow will be running out of villains for Oliver and Team Arrow to face.
Arrow hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of bad guys to throw into the mix. So we've put together a list of comic villains that we feel would thrive in the dark world of Arrow. Whether they are deadly martial artists of favor brains over brawn, they all have something in common: they would give the Starling City vigilante a run for his money.
7. Maxwell LordIt's been a while since Oliver went after a dangerous businessman, so why not one of the few that's nearly defeated the DC superheroes on several occasions? Although he helped form the Justice League International in the 1980s, in recent years Maxwell is more famous as a villain, specifically for shooting Ted Kord in the head and for unleashing an army of OMACs (humans transformed into mindless cyborgs by a techno-virus) on the metahuman community. If those weren't bad enough, his mind control powers are so strong that very few have been able to escape his influence, although they can have negative side effects on his body.
Even if Arrow leaves out his mental abilities, Maxwell's resources alone make him a worthy adversary for Team Arrow. Earlier this season, Ray Palmer uncovered plans for the OMAC project on a Queen Consolidated hard drive, although the weapons on the blueprints were missile launchers, tanks and drones. Maxwell may have worked with the Queens on this project, and depending on how this particular plot goes, he may restart the project and use the weapons to target individuals he thinks are dangerous, including Starling City's vigilante and Ray, one of his competitors.

The Catholic bishops of New York have released a document addressing this issue - praise God!
The bishops urged the rejection of "the twin temptations of stereotype and fear" that can cause people to see the mentally ill as "something other than children of God, made in His image and likeness, deserving of our love and respect."
Assumptions that the mentally ill are violent ignore the fact that the seriously mentally ill commit less than 5 percent of violent acts each year, they said. In fact, those with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence and sexual abuse. Yet fear of violence helps perpetuate a stigma that threatens public support for "a community-based model of treatment."
