The complete set of charts contains 500,331 items (most combining many weekly entries) that came from 230 charts each gathered by a different group of people. There are bound to be places where names have been misspelt, artists have been wrongly combined or entries missed out. If you think you have seen such a case contact us.
Two songs seem to have the same position
When a single is listed as a double 'A' side then, for the purposes of this analysis, the two songs are both independently treated as achieving that position. In this case two different songs can both have entries, for example, stating that they are "Germany 6 of 1978".
The same song has different names
Typically the 230 source charts don't ever use exactly the same name for a song title, album name or artist name. The consolidation process attempts to bring these entries together, but it is hard to find all the changes needed, as a result some titles that to a person are clearly the same (like "Dream Number Nine" and "Dream No. 9") will be listed as distinct songs. Normally this is a mistake and should be fixed in a future version (if you see an example please tell us about it).
The artist name is wrong
In order to bring together as many entries as possible the names of the artists have been made more consistent between the 230 source charts. Clearly "Elvis Costello", "Elvis Costello & the Attractions" and "The Attractions" are three different combinations of musicians, however calling them all "Elvis Costello" makes it easier to see connections so that's what we do. Two song entries wrongly listed with the same artist could be explained by this merging (or it could just be a mistake).
If two entries are listed as having different artists which actually should match then tell us about it and we will fix the mistake.
One recent comment said that it was not worth creating this type of site unless every single mistake was removed. If we had taken that view this site could never have been created. As Albert Einstein said "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never made anything".

Frontier Reports Fiscal Third Quarter
Frontier Airlines, Inc. today reported fiscal third quarter 2004 net
income of $5.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, compared with a
net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.21 per common share for the airline`s
fiscal third quarter last year. The fiscal third quarter 2004 net income
includes the write-off of deferred loan costs of $1.1 million (pre-tax)
associated with the prepayment of the remaining $11.6 million balance of
the government guaranteed loan. This item, net of income taxes, totaled
approximately $.02 per diluted common share.
Chief Executive Officer`s Comments:
Frontier President and CEO Jeff Potter said, "In a quarter that has seen
very few airlines report profitable results, we are very pleased to report
our third consecutive profitable quarter. While the industry revenue and
fare environment continues to be challenging, we were able to produce an
industry leading year-over-year total revenue per available seat mile
(RASM) improvement of 14.2 percent. This tremendous achievement was
accomplished primarily through the increased customer acceptance of our
product, leading to a 13 point year-over-year load factor improvement for
the quarter to 72.5 percent despite adding significant year-over-year
capacity to our system. The culmination of these achievements not only
allowed us to report a profit for the quarter, but also led us to achieve
one of the industry`s highest operating margins for the quarter at 7.7
percent. As they always have, our employees met the challenges of record
system-wide load factors during the peak holiday seasons, with the
continued friendly and professional approach that our company has become
known for.
"During the quarter, we also achieved several significant milestones that
will become the foundation for our future growth. Specifically, we reached
a long-awaited agreement with the City and County of Denver and Denver
International Airport for the gate space we need to accommodate our hub
expansion plans and we also announced our first focus city with
point-to-point flights from Los Angeles International Airport to three
Operating Highlights
Total revenues for Frontier`s fiscal third quarter of 2004 increased 36
percent to $163.6 million from $120.3 million in the fiscal third quarter
of 2003, while operating expenses during the quarter increased 19.5
percent to $151.0 million from $126.4 million for the same quarter last
Passenger revenue increased as revenue passenger miles (RPMs) grew at a
rate of 45.3 percent during the fiscal third quarter, far out-pacing
capacity growth as measured by available seat miles (ASMs), which
increased 19.1 percent from the same time last year. As a result, the
airline`s load factor was 72.5 percent for its fiscal third quarter of
2004, 13 load factor points greater than the airline`s load factor of 59.5
percent during the same quarter last year. The airline`s breakeven load
factor for the fiscal third quarter 2004 increased 4.1 load factor points
from 64.4 percent to 68.5 percent, which excludes the effect of one
special item. This item accounted for .5 load factor points of the
breakeven load factor increase.
During fiscal third quarter 2004, the airline`s RASM increased 1.02 cents
or 13.3 percent to 8.71 cents from 7.69 cents for the same quarter last
year. The increase in RASM was due to the significant increase in load
factor, which more than offset a decrease in revenue per passenger mile
(yield) of 7.1 percent to 12.01 cents from 12.93 cents for the same period
last year.
The year-over-year increase in total revenues includes contributions from
other revenue sources associated with Frontier`s U.S. mail contracts,
LiveTV revenues and the positive contribution from Frontier`s JetExpress
The airline`s cost per available seat mile (CASM) for the fiscal third
quarter increased slightly to 8.31 cents from 8.29 cents for the same
quarter last year. Fuel cost per gallon during the quarter, including
taxes and delivery charges, increased 7.3 percent to $1.03, compared to
..96 cents for the same period last year. CASM excluding fuel decreased 0.9
percent to 6.80 cents from the same period last year, when CASM excluding
fuel was 6.86 cents.
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Paul Tate discussed the
airline`s year-over-year unit cost comparatives stating, "While our CASM
excluding fuel was slightly lower during the quarter on a year-over-year
basis, our unit cost results were adversely affected primarily by an
increase in passenger related expenses caused by a disproportionate
increase in the number of passengers carried compared to the
year-over-year quarterly ASM growth. In addition, our CASM increased
year-over-year from the effects of the profit sharing accrual associated
with our return to profitability and an increase in health insurance
costs. We also incurred approximately $2 million of costs associated with
the return of five Boeing aircraft to their lessors and accelerated Airbus
pilot transitional training costs."
Tate also described the airline`s current cash and working capital
position stating, "As of December 31, 2003, and on a year-over-year basis,
our cash position has increased from $31.5 million to $186.3 million. In
the same period, our working capital has increased from $.2 million to
$103.9 million. Our cash position remains near its all-time high despite
prepaying the remaining $11.6 million of the government-guaranteed loan in
December 2003."
The airline`s fleet in service on December 31, 2003 consisted of 13 owned
Airbus A319 and A318 aircraft, 14 leased Airbus A319 aircraft and 12
leased Boeing 737 aircraft.
Business developments during the quarter included: * Resolved gate
expansion concerns with the City and County of Denver and DIA, securing
two to six mainline gates and four to five regional gates, pending final
approval of the expansion plan. * Announced plans for a new "focus" city
in Los Angeles, with Frontier`s first non-stop, point-to-point flights
outside of the Denver hub. Service will include two daily non-stops from
Los Angeles to Minneapolis/St. Paul, St. Louis, and Kansas City and will
begin April 11, 2004. * Announced plans to expand Denver service to
include non-stop flights to Dulles International Airport in Washington,
D.C. on April 11, 2004 and Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage,
Alaska on May 9, 2004. * Received permission to begin a third daily flight
to slot-controlled La Guardia Airport (LGA). * Filed for permission to add
up to two more daily flights into slot and perimeter controlled Reagan
National Airport (DCA). * Became the first, and currently only airline to
pay back the government guaranteed ATSB loan. * Launched a new Frontier
JetExpress regional jet relationship with Horizon Air on Jan. 1, 2004,
replacing Mesa Air Group. * Initiated service to Puerto Vallarta and Cabo
San Lucas, Frontier`s third and fourth Mexican destinations. * Began
service to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. * Signed sponsorship
agreements with Kroenke Sports for the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets,
and the Pepsi Center, as well as with all of the major universities in
Colorado including Colorado State University, University of Colorado,
University of Northern Colorado, University of Denver, and Air Force
Academy. * Became the first airline to implement the use of pediatric pads
with the Automated External Defibrillator (AED). * Earned Flag Carrier
status, an FAA designation that allows Frontier to fly between two
international destinations, as well as to Alaska and Hawaii, and beyond
its previous limit of two hours from the U.S. border. * Launched the
successful "Quick Ascent" program, which allows elite members in other
airlines` frequent flyer programs to join Frontier`s EarlyReturns program
as an elite member without the standard 15,000-mile requirement. To date,
over 4,000 participants have become EarlyReturns members as a result of
this program. * Joined Operation Hero Miles, the innovative program that
helps troops on emergency leave or Rest and Relaxation (R & R) from Iraq
and Afghanistan, to fly home for free through the generous donations of
miles from members of airlines` frequent flyer programs. Frontier Airlines
donated 1.5 million miles to kick off its participation in the program.
Cash Comparisons
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments available for operations
and investing activities on December 31, 2003 were $186.3 million compared
to $31.5 million available on December 31, 2002. The increase in the
Company`s cash position is largely attributable to its net income for the
period and was substantially aided by our secondary offering of 5.05
million shares of common stock in September 2003. A portion of the
proceeds from the secondary offering were used to pre-pay $48.6 million of
our government guaranteed loan. The increase in our cash position also
enabled us to subsequently pay-off the remaining balance of $11.6 million
in December 2003 The airline reported working capital of $103.9 million as
of December 31, 2003, a substantial increase over the airline`s working
capital on December 31, 2002, when the airline reported working capital of
$.2 million.
Potter concluded, "The third quarter was a challenging one for the airline
industry as a whole, as many were looking to this quarter as evidence that
air travel had either returned, or that summer loads were merely a result
of seasonal travel. Given our traditional seasonality pattern, the
December quarter was a very strong quarter with several days of record
loads and great strides made with our operating margin. For Frontier, this
quarter we demonstrated that we have become a true carrier of choice, and
that consumers are responding to the product that we are offering. In
upcoming quarters, we`ll focus on continuing to enhance our product,
delivering on our promise to be "a whole different animal" and expanding
our footprint with new and differentiated service, including our new Los
Angeles point-to-point flights, and additional frequencies to our most
popular destinations."

At first sight you'll recognise the wheel above as the Michelin Tweel. The Tweel was a concept wheel which used flexible spokes which deform to absorb shock. It does not need air pressure. It also had the ability to be "tuned" to have different vertical and lateral stiffness. This way, vertical stiffness can be reduced to improve ride comfort while lateral stiffness can be increased to improve handling and cornering ability. This allows one tweel to have the best of both worlds!
The Tweel has undergone more R&D and will in the future be used as a lunar wheel for NASA moon rovers. Michelin already supplies NASA with tyres for its space shuttles for more than 20 years now. According to Michelin, the new Tweel-based lunar wheel maintains flexibility and constant ground contact pressure even at very low temperatures to enable moon rovers to navigate loose soil and lunar craters with ease. It has a lower mass with a higher load capacity that is 3.3 times more efficient than the original Apollo Lunar Rover wheels.

A recent article that USA Today featured as something to check out online caught my attention. The headline, "Holy Cow, Are Meat Eaters Destroying Our Planet?" had me thinking of course! But I wanted to read the article and see what they had to say.
The article pretty much concluded, the more meat you eat the more of a carbon footprint you leave. There was a scientifc study done at Oxford University about how these carbon footprints were determined. Feel free to read it here. It was a very technical study conducted on 65,000 people and their consumption habits.
Basically the results were that the meat eaters' carbon foot print was double that of those who do not eat meat. There are different causes to this but one major cause is that is takes a lot more energy from our planet to raise animals as food than it does to care for crops.
At Native Foods we care deeply about the environment. We love to say that Earth Day is everyday, well, because it should be! This is our house, we should keep our house clean! We can help the planet tremendously if we all just do a little bit, one plant base meal a day, a week, a month makes a difference.
And here at Native Foods we make it very very easy on you.
A meat-free Twister Wrap anyone?
No? How about a Bacon Oklahoma Cheeseburger? I mean, this is not your average vegan sandwich!
Now see? It's sooo easy to incorporate some plant-based eating into your diet!

'It was like Armageddon': Huge fire breaks out in Leeds as buildings are evacuated
OVER 80 firefighters are battling a gigantic blaze at an industrial estate in Leeds which has been dubbed "The Great Fire of Armley".
The inferno broke out at a building belonging to Tradpak, a packaging and recycling firm, at around 1:50am on Monday.
The fire has sent plumes of smoke high into the air and people in the city centre have been warned to keep their windows shut because of potentially hazardous chemicals on the site.
Roads near the fire have been shut with buildings, including a packed nightclub, evacuated.
"There were fireballs shooting. It was really ferocious. Like Armageddon"Anja Swan, a student at Leeds Metropolitan University
A student has described hearing explosions which sounded like thunder.
Anja Swan, a student at Leeds Metropolitan University, told the BBC: "We could see massive, massive clouds of thick black smoke, just billowing out into the air. We could see this even from our house about half a mile or so away.
"There were fireballs shooting. It was really ferocious. Like Armageddon.
"There were quite a lot of people on the streets who had been evacuated from buildings.
"It's a really huge fire. It was really quite scary. It was absolutely massive."
Area manager Ian Dunkley, from West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, told BBC Breakfast: "We were called out at approx two o'clock this morning to a large fire in a chemical recycling plant.
"Unfortunately, that's spread to an adjacent building that does commercial packaging.
"We've had approx 80 firefighters on scene.
"The initial crews were trying to protect surrounding properties and, in fact, we've saved three surrounding business which will be available to open tomorrow."
Mr Dunkley urged people not to come to the scene to watch the operation.

text: I have always loved to create. I can remember making Barbie Doll clothes out of scraps of fabric as early as 6 years old. I was fascinated by my mother's friend who could make fabulous clothing out of odds and ends. I would watch her crochet and try to memorize how her hands moved. One day I picked up a hook and some crochet thread that my mother had laying around, and I started to crochet. The first thing I made was a crude doily, but it was enough to encourage me to continue. I bought pattern books with my allowance and tried to follow the diagrams to learn different stitches. Over the years I have tried various crafts but always return back to my first loves, sewing and crocheting! This shop is my opportunity to share my creative ideas with all of you. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoy creating them!

All hail the future solution to the Socceroos' problem position at left-back. Adama Traore may well have represented the country of his birth - Ivory Coast - at Under-17, U-19 and U-21 levels, but the 23-year-old has been unequivocal in publically expressing his desire to represent Australia at senior level.
A permanent resident who has plied his trade in this country since 2009, the man born in Bondoukou is closing in on his citizenship, and is widely expected to mount a major challenge for a regular role as fullback for the national team, with Holger Osieck recently declaring that the experiment of shoehorning midfielder Matt McKay into the position is over.
Adama Traore
|Gold Coast United [2009-12]
Melbourne Victory [2012-]
David Carney is back in the fold after signing a contract with New York Red Bulls, while Jason Davidson has also earned a call-up to the latest squad, but until the likes of Scott Galloway, Craig Goodwin and Jeremy Walker mature, Traore is the easily the leading A-League candidate to fill the glaring void in Holger Osieck's back four.
After earning a chance with Gold Coast United on the strength of a highlights DVD, Traore impressed in his three seasons in Queensland, before being snapped up by Victory when Clive Palmer pulled the plug at Robina Stadium.
One of the most consistent performers in Ange Postecoglou's first campaign in charge at AAMI Park, his absence through injury late in 2012-13 is frequently highlighted by the coach as a key reason for Victory's failure to progress to the grand final.
Fullback is arguably one of the most important positions in modern football. As many teams shift from 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, with wingers or central strikers transformed into inside forwards, fullbacks are often the only source of natural width in many teams, particularly those with less gifted or versatile players in the final third.
However, being able to bomb on and join the attack meaningfully is only part of the job - a good left or right-back needs the discipline and intelligence to know when to drop back or stay at home, and must have the technical ability to stifle their opponent. Traore fits the bill in all these categories and is arguably the best fullback in the A-League, something reflected by his status as the only defender to make our top 15.
Defining momentSlamming home the opening goal in style as Gold Coast defeated North Queensland Fury 5-1 in January 2011, Traore's strike helped to bring a small smile to the faces of local supporters in a game intended to raise funds after deadly floods, starting in late December, had ravaged Queensland.

This week's Courier Herald Column:
Friday morning in the Georgia House of Representatives didn't exactly go according to script. Freshman Sam Moore saw to that, though not the way he probably would have hoped.
Moore, elected to fill the unexpired term of the late Representative Calvin Hill, only won a runoff for the seat earlier this month. He wasted little time in authoring bills that reflect his campaign rhetoric and libertarian philosophy, and filed two of those late last week.
The first bill proposes eliminating Georgia's statutes that make loitering and prowling crimes, and would strip language from Georgia code that prohibits convicted sex offenders from hanging around schools and other places where children gather. The second bill would allow citizens to "use deadly force against law enforcement officers who attempt violent entry into home without first knocking and announcing identity and purpose…"
The problem was made worse by Friday's news headlines. Moore answered a question from his local Cherokee Tribune newspaper about repealing the section of the loitering law that allowed predators to go near places where children congregate with "I'm O.K. with that."
In less than 24 hours, a newly minted Representative offered bills that would allow child molesters to hang around schools, and people to shoot police officers. The reaction was swift and harsh.
At the start of Friday's business in the House, most members of leadership including Majority Leader Larry O'Neil, Rules Chairman John Meadows (who indicated that he held the ability to keep any legislation ever proposed by Moore from reaching the House floor – and he likely would do that.), and GOP Caucus Chairman Matt Hatchett led off a group of roughly a dozen members who wanted to make sure that the bill neither reflected the values of the Republican party, nor the House or state as a whole.
As with any good firestorm, supporters of Moore from the Campaign for Liberty and the Tea Party chose to support their man, but decided to blame the House Leadership and "GOP establishment" for this spectacle. They began circulating donations made from GOP leadership to Moore's opponent as proof that somehow there was a conspiracy to make Moore introduce really bad legislation.
In life, sometimes people can mess up all on their own, without the aid of a conspiracy. And sometimes, looking at all the available evidence, rather than just what you want to see, will help determine the real truth.
Members of House leadership were not the only ones to speak unvarnished truths about Moore's legislation. Fellow Republican freshman from Cherokee County Scot Turner, also a member of the House's conservative/libertarian wing known for being independent of House Leadership, implored his colleagues from the well, saying "I beg of you…this is not what Liberty looks like."
Another ally who has been bold in challenging leadership is Freshman John Pezold. While others were speaking, he sent out a statement reading in part "…If Mr. Moore's mission was to come down to the state Capitol and alienate his colleagues by staking out positions that no one in their right mind could agree with, he can now hang a mission accomplished banner behind him because he has done just that."
Pezold and Turner, along with other members who have generally attempted to institute reforms within the GOP caucus, were upset enough to communicate concern that their efforts will be marginalized in the future, as it will be easy to paint them with the same brush as Moore. Given their background, it's illogical and irrational to include them in a leadership conspiracy to make Rep. Moore look bad.
Moore, for his part, told the waiting press outside the House Chambers Friday afternoon that he was just inexperienced, and that if leadership had just offered assistance then his bills would have achieved their intentions without being worded so horrifically wrong.
Which brings up the final piece of evidence as who is and who isn't dealing in good faith in this episode. For Moore to claim that Leadership should have worked with him, one would have to believe that Moore would even be willing to work with leadership. Instead, Moore sent out an email on Friday morning urging support for a bill which would "nullify Obamacare". It contained the following:
"…Before the bill was even filed, our sources at the Capitol in Atlanta told us that "leadership" in the General Assembly and the Governor's office were scheming to kill the bill.
"You see, many politicians don't want to take a bold stand on anything that might be considered "controversial," especially during an election year.
"These politicians would much rather pass meaningless resolutions and half-measures that they can "sell" to unsuspecting constituents back home.
"And really, if they can buy votes by spending your tax dollars in their districts, all the better from their point-of-view.
"Don't be fooled by the excuses and explanations these politicians will try to make!"
These are not the words of someone who would solicit nor accept the help of leadership. These are the words of someone not trying to reform an institution, but trying to burn the place down with everyone in it.
And those aren't my words. Those are from one of his colleagues, someone trying to reform the institution, who knows Sam Moore just made his job a lot harder.
Allowing predators near playgrounds and declaring open season on police officers is a swift 1-2 punch to Rep. Moore's political career, but he delivered the combination himself.

ICYF-DC Delegation headed by H.E. Amb. Elshad Iskandarov, the President of ICYF-DC takes part in the work of the 6th OIC Ministerial Conference on Women's Role in the Development of OIC Member States held in Istanbul, on 1-3 November 2016.
The Opening Ceremony of the Conference on 2 November was inaugurated by H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President of the Republic of Turkey. H.E. President Erdoğan in his speech mentioned the important challenges and problems the OIC geography faces nowadays and stressed the importance of the development of women in the Member States to achieve their equal participation in the societies by stressing that the Muslim world needed strong families and nations and that cannot be secured by isolating women. President Erdoğan declared: "Strength cannot be acquired through isolating women. The mentality of 'Let's keep women at home and away from everything' is not the route to strength." He stated that women should be present in every sector of society and described this as one of the main reasons why the West was further ahead.
Talking about the support Turkey extends to the work of the OIC and the OIC institutions the President referred to his support toward establishment of ICYF-DC in 2006 as the OIC affiliated institution with his personal participation at its inauguration ceremony held in Istanbul. He also underlined the success of and important decision by the 3rd Session of the Islamic Conference of Youth and Sports Ministers held in Istanbul, on 5-7 October 2016 (organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Turkey, OIC General Secretariat, ICYF-DC and ISSF).
In his speech the President underlined courage of Turkish women on the night of the July 15 coup attempt by the FETO terrorist organization noting "Our women were at the forefront." The sensuous documentary titled "Women Heroes of 15 July" presented by the Ministry of Family and Social Policies of the Republic of Turkey during the Opening Ceremony of the Conference caused to the emotive reaction of the audience followed by heart-full words of support to Turkey expressed on behalf of the conference by the State Minister of Azerbaijan and out-going Chair of the Women's Conference Dr. Hijran Huseynova.
The 6th OIC Ministerial Conference on Women's Role in the Development of OIC Member States will finish its work on 3 November 2016 with adoption of the final documents and presentation of the (newly established) OIC Council on Women issues and Good Will Ambassadors on woman and family empowerment.

It's an untreated 1 carat round bezel ring from moissaniteco. We bought it on a whim! I was thinking to get the Forever Brilliant square cut one in .6 carat because it's much cheaper but we saw that the bezel ring (sol400) was on sale so we picked that one up.
I have not seen round bezel rings much so I'm reaaaallly wondering if I picked the right ring. I'm also worried about yellow tinges, as the ring we picked is untreated. I've read though that it won't show up much unless it's more than 1 ct. Anyone here have round bezels to show (even if it's not moissanite?). I want to see how it looks like when worn. It's not too "flat", is it?

Pastor Ashimolowo's church under investigation over alleged fraud in UK
The UK Guardian reports that the criminal investigation by the City of London police followed a report of the Charity Commission which found KICC lost most of £5m invested by the former Charlton footballer Richard Rufus, a Ponzi scheme operator.
"Detectives from City of London police's fraud teams are investigating," an unnamed police spokesman confirmed, although no arrests have been made.
The Guardian reports that Charity Commission accused the church's former trustees who invested in Rufus' Ponzi scheme of "not exercise(ing) sufficient care" when they gave Rufus the church's money.
The Commission said they failed to check if Rufus had any investment qualifications or experience and gave little thought to the extraordinarily high rate of return the former Premier League footballer was promising yet concluded that his "personal guarantee makes this as safe an investment as any".
The church's chief operating officer James McGlashan said that Pastor Ashimolowo knew about the investment with Rufus but denied his being any part of the decision to invest the money as he was not a trustee of the KICC.

With Phil Spencer recently appointed as the head of Xbox, Microsoft ventures further into the new generation under fresh leadership. Spencer took over for Marc Whitten, who departed Microsoft in mid-March after working at the Xbox division for 14 years.
Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Worldwide Studios -- one of the most visible high-level video game executive in the entire industry -- praised the promotion of Spencer at dinner with veteran gaming journalist Dan Hsu. In a Tweet, Hsu quotes Yoshida as saying that the promotion of Spencer "proves Microsoft is smart. He's the most human guy there."
In case anyone possibly senses sarcasm in the comment, Hsu notes that Yoshida was being "genuine."
Before his promotion, Spencer was head of Microsoft Game Studios, Xbox's first party equivalent to Yoshida's Sony Worldwide Studios.

The Amazon Prime Lending Library allows Prime members who own a Kindle e-book reader to 'borrow' select books electronically up to once a month, one at a time. PCs and smartphone Kindle apps cannot use the Lending Library.
Prime members use a 'borrow for free' button on the main page of the eligible book in question. An Amazon Prime badge next to the e-book signifies eligibility. The Amazon Prime badge resembles a check mark next to the word 'Prime'. As of 2015, there is no limit on the amount of time a Kindle device can hold a borrowed book. However, it can only hold one borrowed book at any given time.
The Kindle retains all notes and highlighting placed by the user even after the user returns the borrowed book. If a user borrows the book again or purchases it outright, the notes and highlights show up in the reacquired book. Some public and school libraries support Kindle Lending, allowing the Kindle to borrow e-books from the library for a limited amount of time.
Borrowed books require an active Prime membership to retain the book, regardless of other factors. If the account associated with the Kindle cancels its Prime membership, the borrowed book is no longer accessible in the Kindle's library.

CLASS DOJO is our new app for behaviour celebrations and rewards in school. You can download the CLASS DOJO app on your mobile phone or tablet now using your unique code from Miss Howard. Class Dojo is a brilliant way of allowing you to see how your child is doing at school every single day. We challenge all of the children in 3RH to be '100% green' and the more green dojo points earned the more prizes to be earnt too. Children with the most points each week will receive rewards in class and will also have their name placed in a school draw for a bigger prize at the end of term. There is also the function for red dojos for those children who are not consistently following the class and school rules, these will be used alongside verbal warnings and will influence our Ladder of Excellence.
Homework information for parents
Homework is a challenge we set to develop your child's independence in applying key English, Maths and SPaG skills. Homework is their own responsibility and although we are happy for you to assist them where help is needed, please ensure that they have the resilience to give it a go first independently. If you feel that your child is struggling at any time with their homework then please do not hesitate to contact me in school or via their planner.
At the end of each half term there will be a homework reward session for the children in which they will be able to choose a variety of activities to participate in as a reward for all their hard work completing their homework. Any children who haven't completed their homework for the term will be given opportunity during this session to complete it.
We would like you to read at home every night. We don't mind what you read (it could be a newspaper, a comic, a magazine or even on a kindle) but we do ask that you record it in your planner each day and get an adult to sign.
Remember you can earn rewards for reading at home everyday and this may help you achieve 'Reader of the Week'.
Who will be this term's star reader?
We would like you to focus on the 3, 4 and 8 times-tables for homework.
We will be testing the children's times tables knowledge across three standards: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Bronze: You can say the times tables in order.
Silver: You can answer questions out of order.
Gold: You can answer questions using the division facts for the times-tables.
Can you learn as many tables as possible to become a Gold champion?
Rewards will be yours - Impress us (and yourselves)!
Click below to learn your times-tables online.
The children will be given a set of spellings to practice for a short test once a week. It would be wonderful if you would encourage the children to practice these in order for the children to achieve their best score!

We offer counseling to those suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. Whether you are working toward sobriety, or have been clean for a long time, we are here to support, guide and help you in your journey. We understand that addiction is a disease, and that it effects relationships and every member of your family, and all aspects of your life. Take the first step and reach out for help.

Problems with mood altering chemicals (e.g., alcohol, heroin) or behaviors (e.g., gambling, sex) are still not well understood by scientists. Explanations for compulsive use which claim the cause is a disease or brain disorder lack supporting evidence. Counseling an individual with such problems requires taking into consideration a wide variety of contributing environmental, biological, psychological (e.g., mental health problems) factors. Treatment is typically tailored to the client and will usually involve addressing motivational factors, the client's goals, and educating the family on how they can exert a reinforcing and supportive role in the client's resolution of their problem(s).

Letting go of an addiction is hard work – but living with addiction isn't really living, is it? Our cravings and obsessions can run our lives. But how to take charge again? I believe that addiction serves an important purpose. In some way, it allows you to survive and cope with stressors, helps you to calm down, or wake up, or feel better, at least for awhile. We will work to understand the why of your addiction - what deep longing the addictive behavior is trying to fill so desperately, but unsuccessfully. You can learn healthier ways to comfort yourself, ways that bring you closer to people you love, instead of distancing them. You will take back the power to run your own life!!!

Our determination to avoid pain often leads us to other solutions or substances such as, alcohol, sex, materialism, prescription pills, entertainment, food etc. All of which are readily available in our society. Before we know it we can often find ourselves addicted and empty. Because I can admit my own brokenness, I can help you find the strength and courage you will need to embark on your journey toward freedom. We can walk together toward recovery and rehabilitation. With God all things are possible to those who believe.

Addiction is a brain disease that requires treatment to offer the best results in achieving long term recovery. I have over 15 years of experience treating individuals and supporting their efforts in seeking and maintaining long term recovery.

Escape From Planet Earth (2D) (US - BD RA)
Jonathan watched one of those many animated films with silly aliens in it...
Sibling rivals from the Planet BAAB, brainiac Gary Supernova (Rob Corddry) works all the gizmos at Mission Control, while his studly brother Scorch (Brendan Fraser) performs all of the superhero stuff. But when Scorch is sent on an SOS operation to the Dark Planet (otherwise known as Earth), from which no alien has ever returned -- it's up to Gary to rescue him, their planet and the universe. (From the Anchor Bay synopsis)
Putting a spin on UFO invasion tales is nothing new in Hollywood, but in recent years it seems that animation studios have been milking the concept for all its worth. With movies like Mars Needs Moms, Monsters vs Aliens, and especially Planet 51 already in existence, its no surprise that the movie completely slipped under my radar. Now that I know it exists, I feel like I've seen Escape From Planet Earth before I even open the packaging. It also doesn't help that the Voldemort-looking, noseless blue aliens in the movie aren't far off from the alien design in Planet 51. It even borrows some ideas from the recent Paul.
Though everything about Escape From Planet Earth feels far from refreshing, this is a movie that I could totally see kids loving. There is plenty of silliness. The voice acting is appropriately over the top to match the material. Brendan Fraser is very enjoyable as Scorch. Scorch is the jock-like brother who is really good at going on missions and fighting creatures. Rob Corddry's Gary is the nerdy brother that is the brains of every option. The movie promotes a family friendly message of cooperation and the values of working together. Every member of the family gets their moment to shine. The whole story is pretty corny and safe, but if you're looking for an animated film that champions good family values then here is a viable option.
As we've come to expect from non-catalogue releases of animated films, this Blu-ray visual presentation is top notch. The colorful spaceships and their detailed interiors looks absolutely crisp and every color is as eye-catching as I've seen in this medium. Detail on character models is especially impressive. Though the lead alien race is smooth in appearance and lacking in any strong textures, the assorted aliens that are found in the compound on Earth have an impressive array of details to them. Visuals are more interesting in the earlier parts of the movie when we see the alien ships and some alien worlds. When the action finds itself on Earth the environments are expectedly more mundane and not quite as pleasing to the eye. The final action showdown features a polished looking chase through canyons during sunset that is very appealing though. It's clear that a studio put some money into this film's visuals and its not just a straight-to-video level cash in.
The impressive visuals are accompanied by a lively DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. The soundtrack, which unfortunately features Owl City and Cody Simpsons, opens up the entire front of the sound space nicely. Dialogue and on screen action is loud and crisp from the front and center as it should be, but the extra channels get plenty of activity throughout the movies many lively scenes. You'll notice it right away in the opening sequence where Scorch is being chased by a race of mean aliens while he tries to save a group of babies. There are some real impressive directional effects as well. You'll hear ships whizzing by in the final chase. Even a little food fight skirmish makes great use of the surround. The storytelling is lazy but there was plenty of care put into this mix and the DTS-HD track on board this release does it justice.
The first feature on this disc is a Commentary with Director Cal Brunker. I went to a few key scenes in the movie with this track on and Brunker seems to spend most of it talking with hardly any dead air. It's more informative than entertaining, but Brunker gives some insight into what its like to direct an animated movie and the processes behind it; something I've always been curious about. The Making of Escape From Planet Earth (HD, 21:15) plays like an extended promotion for the film. Each of the main voice actors talks about their characters and then we are shown footage from the movie of the characters. George Lopez talks about how Thurman is a great character to give a unique voice to, then we see footage of George Lopez doing the same voice that George Lopez does for everything. The last few minutes take a look at the composer and the musical choices for the film. Then there's Alternate Takes & Deleted Scenes (HD, 03:53). Most of these are just brief goofy add-ons to scenes that stayed in the final film. Kids may find a few extra laughs here.
Next up is How to Make an Animated Film with Director Cal Brunker (HD, 03:43). This brief featurette shows Cal Brunker demonstrating how storyboards, pre-viz, and animatics work to create the final look of the film. Then you get to see an early sequence from the film with all four of them on screen at the same time. Its a neat little feature that I'd like to see on more animated films. Lastly there are Music Featurettes, which includes a music video of "Shooting Star" by Owl City, "What Matters Most" by Delta Rae, and featurette with interviews for "Shine Supernova" by Cody Simpson. If you can stand this kind of music, all power to you.
It may be generic, and it may feel like an unnecessary addition to the many recent animated films about aliens, but Escape From Planet Earth still manages to be a perfectly functional adventure movie that young kids will enjoy. I can't say it's fun for the whole family though, as I imagine parents and older teens would find it to be an endurance test. This Blu-ray from Anchor Bay has top notch video and audio, and a decent smattering of extras.

Refreshments from 6pm, Annual General Meeting 6.30 – 7pm, talk 7-8pm.
Title: Mixture Detection: Some Theory and Application
Location: Level 3, room number 010B G, Building 7, University of Technology, Sydney
638 Jones Street, Ultimo, NSW 2007 (map)
Abstract:A mixture model is where the data is modelled as a mixture of samples from distinct subpopulations, however the subpopulation "labels" are not observed. Fitting such models involves both deciding on how the subpopulations are modelled as well as how many different subpopulations there are. The mixture detection problem is to decide whether there is a single subpopulation or not.
The problem arises in many applied contexts including finance, neurobiology, ecology, genetics, information retrieval, reliability and (even) philately. The problem also appears within other theoretical realms such as multiple testing and variable selection/feature detection.
We shall give an overview of this statistical problem accessible to a general (statistical) audience, with discussion of various motivating examples, surprising theoretical results and interesting recent work.
Biography of Dr Michael Stewart
Michael Stewart has been a statistician with the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney for 20 years. He has been heavily involved in the teaching program and is now the deputy first year director. Along with his theoretical work in mixture detection, extreme value theory and density estimation he has published applied papers with ecologists, health economists and pathologists. Current areas of interest are high-dimensional classification and distributed statistical computing.

Holiday Leash and Collar Drive Launched in Los Angeles
Angelenos asked to unleash their generosity on behalf of dogs and cats, and their owners, in East L.A.
In keeping with the season's spirit of gift giving, a holiday leash and collar drive aimed at collecting 1,000 dog and cat collars and leashes for distribution to pet owners in under-served communities in east Los Angeles will launch tomorrow and run until December 15. The program is a collaboration between The Humane Society of the United States and Red Barn Feed & Pet stores.
The HSUS operates a community outreach program, Pets for Life, in Los Angeles and several major cities across the nation, providing services such as spay/neuter surgery, dog training, wellness care, pet food and supplies to dogs and cats and their owners who are most in need.
Michelle Cho, vice president of The HSUS Los Angeles office, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for Angelenos to show their support for animals and their community this festive season, and all it takes is the gift of a very inexpensive but essential accessory – a leash and collar. Keeping pets and their families together is at the heart of The HSUS' Pets for Life program and providing these pet care fundamentals is the first step towards maintaining those ties and elevating the human-animal bond."
Angelenos are invited to donate leashes and collars at Red Barn locations or deliver, or mail them to The HSUS Los Angeles office at 820 Moraga Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049. Leashes and collars with metal, rather than plastic buckles, are preferred due to their strength and durability.
HSUS' Pets for Life program builds humane communities using innovative strategies and fresh approaches designed to extend the reach of animal services, resources and information to under-served areas. Addressing the critical need for accessible, affordable pet care, this program helps animals by empowering the people who care for them.

- Stir in tomatoes and raisins. Increase heat to HIGH. Cover; cook for 15 minutes. Stir in lemon juice just before serving. Tip: We do not recommend substituting chicken breast in this recipe. Due to the longer cooking time chicken breasts dry out too quickly.

So have you done it ?
12 track tournament (12xVineta K), 20 laps, venom, no weapons.
So have you done it ?
12 track tournament (12xVineta K), 20 laps, venom, no weapons.
Ah nope! But im looking to do a 12 round tourny for a trophy so add me as a friend and i'll race wit you!!
LOL Zitrax but why? This is a feat of madness, not strength. I thought the Descension Vector tournament in Pure was the greatest mental torture ever conceived by man, but you have come up with an idea so fiendishly tedious it is pure evil. Is this an online challenge you are proposing?
Oh, and this is KGB`s line, but I`ve got some paint drying that needs watching if you`re free tomorrow.
The strength part of it is to not become mad I set such a tournament up but to my surprise no one joined so I have not done it. Almost happy about that though
no thanks, i'd rather watch grass grow for an hour..
I've inadvertently joined a online room that had 12 X 20 lap races,all different tracks.
I wasn't paying attention to the amount of laps.
Not being one to quit I stuck it through
But I was seriously dizzy after wards as I play in cockpit mode,and no way would I do it again.
VinK? Can't it be jazzed up a tad?
You might want to post this at the "ARENA SECTION".... that's where challenges are made and taken on.
Heh would of thought moa therma reverse would have been boring enough to toture people lol

The Center for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine is an interdisciplinary enterprise, bringing together biologists, biomolecular engineers, lawyers, philosophers, and theologians to advance the research and application of adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to ultimately cure a wide range of medical issues, while also stimulating the ethical and legal discussion associated with stem cells and their use. Innovative. Catholic Faith. Healing.
We need your help! Please consider supporting us so that we can continue to support undergraduate and graduate student researchers and provide funds to send them to national and international meetings to present their cutting-edge research results. A minimum $10 donation to the Center can be compounded if you cast the 5 votes that come with your donation to the Center. However, you need to make a minimum $10 donation and cast your 5 votes to have an impact on the development of ethical treatments for a wide range of devastating human diseases, such as spinal cord injuries, blindness, Alzheimer's disease, and kidney disease to name a few.
"As a Catholic university, Notre Dame carries a mantle of responsibility to use our scholarship and resources to help alleviate human suffering, and, in this area of research in particular, to do so with deep respect for the sanctity of all human life." Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.
Your donation and money raised from your votes will be used to support undergraduate and graduate student research on the use of adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to understand the progression and treatment of debilitating diseases. Adult stem and iPS cells provide an ethical research avenue and potential treatment of medical conditions ranging from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, blindness, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and kidney disease, to name a few. In addition, research at Notre Dame is exploring the use of iPS cells to generate bone marrow and blood cells, which will significantly impact the lives of individuals waiting for bone marrow transplants. The funds will be used to support these students on their research projects over the summer, when they can devote all of their attention and talent to research, as well as sending them to national and international conferences to present their cutting-edge research results. This research enterprise will also train the next generation of physicians and scientists in the ethical use of this cutting-edge science.
The research funded by Notre Dame Day is necessary to provide opportunities to the ever-increasing number of undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about gaining experience in the adult stem and iPS cell research area, developing cures with this technology, and prepare them to continue this ethical research after leaving Notre Dame. We are making outstanding strides in the adult stem and iPS cell research on campus and increasing our visibility to the international research community.
We have the outstanding opportunity to earn a portion of $1 Million! Make a $10 gift to the Center on Notre Dame Day (April 23 – 24) and receive 5 votes to cast. The total number of votes we receive determines our percentage of the $1 Million. To help us reach our campaign goal of $10,000, please choose a donation amount below.

Gloucester taxpayers may see a penny increase in their real estate tax rates in 2014 or 2015 in order to fund a number of pressing long-term needs, according to a recent report from the county's Capital Improvement Projects committee.
The committee, formed at the direction of county administrator Brenda Garton, was tasked to develop a multi-year capital improvement plan, and made a number of recommendations to the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors last month.
"The CIP is a tool that can help us ensure that decisions on capital projects and funding are made wisely and are well planned," said CIP committee chair Tom Sawyer.
Gloucester County departments submitted over $76.9 million in capital projects to be considered by the county's Capital Improvement Projects committee, according to Sawyer. The amount includes $54.4 million in projects that would be paid for through the general fund and $22.5 million for the utility fund.
Cognizant of the major upcoming capital projects such as the new Page Middle School and renovations to the Thomas Calhoun Walker Educational Center, the CIP committee did not assign funding from the $3.1 million capital fund committed for future capital projects. The committee also said it was making a conservative recommendation for assignment of the excess fund balance in the general fund to assist the board of supervisors as they proceed with the many unknowns related to those projects.

Logic says Virginia will lose to Florida in the NCAA basketball tournament Friday. The Gators' offense is too good and balanced, the Cavaliers' roster too depleted and spent.
That said, a Virginia victory would not surprise me, and the reason is Tony Bennett.
Not to suggest the Cavaliers' third-year coach will outmaneuver counterpart Billy Donovan. The Gators' coach is 25-9 in the NCAA tournament and among two men alive who have guided their programs to consecutive national championships — the other is Duke's Mike Krzyzewski.
But I do believe Bennett and his staff will have their team impeccably prepared for not only Florida but also the NCAA experience, critical for...

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan,—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations."
This speech has taken its place among the most famous of all the written or spoken compositions in the English language. In parts it has often been compared with the lofty portions of the Old Testament. Mr. Lincoln's own contemporaneous criticism is interesting. "I expect it," he said, "to wear as well as, perhaps better than, anything I have produced; but I believe it is not immediately popular. Men are not flattered by being shown that there has been a difference of purpose between the Almighty and them. To deny it, however, in this case is to deny that there is a God governing the world. It is a truth which I thought needed to be told; and as whatever of humiliation there is in it falls most directly on myself, I thought others might afford for me to tell it."
On January 1, 1863, when the President issued the Proclamation of Emancipation, he stepped to the uttermost boundary of his authority in the direction of the abolition of slavery. Indeed a large proportion of the people believed that he had trespassed beyond that boundary; and among the defenders of the measure there were many who felt bound to maintain it as a legitimate exercise of the war power, while in their inmost souls they thought that its real basis of justification lay in its intrinsic righteousness. Perhaps the President himself was somewhat of this way of thinking. He once said: "I felt that measure, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the Union.... I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element." Time, however, proved that the act had in fact the character which Mr. Lincoln attributed to it as properly a war measure. It attracted the enlistment of negroes,

Physicists have always intimidated me.
They inhabit a different mental space from mine. When it comes to being in a place, their world seems so compressed while simultaneously so boundless. Only mathematics can explain just where a physicist stands.
Our lead story, right, is not meant to intimidate.
Physicists think they are on the verge of a great discovery about mass - and therefore the movement of subatomic particles through space. They think they are going to find the Higgs boson particle. I understand some of this theory, just like I understand some of E=mc2.
But if I'm honest, what I understand is about as much as what I understood when I would talk with one of my college advisers who was a professor of physics. He was there but not there. He talked about seeing around corners while walking in the opposite direction. He taught something I didn't think could be real.
Like that guy walking toward me, both hands waving in the air and talking excitedly to no one I can see. Whew! No need to run to the other side of the street. He is using a hands-free ear piece for his cellphone. Such behavior has become a common sight - he's walking in mental space.
Maybe if I had learned to think like a physicist, I'd be better able to cope with the rate at which portable communications technology - cellphones, e-mail devices, pagers, headphones, Walkmans, discmans, Napster players - are transforming the way we have merged our private mental space with public space.
The more I see communications devices that allow private thoughts to transit public spaces, the more I wish I understood physics. Maybe I, too, could think about seeing around corners while going in the opposite direction.
