A lot of attention has been focused on the economic boost the North Country would get from a biomass plant in Berlin.
But another group has been quietly working on a project that has far more potential for the North Country.
It is the new federal prison in Berlin.
As NHPR's Chris Jensen reports, the group's goal is to give North Country residents their best shot at those jobs.
Deborah Schult is the new warden at the federal prison in Berlin.
She came here after running a federal prison in New York.
Recently, she spoke to a team in Berlin working to help people get jobs at the prison, and to help local businesses sell services to the prison.
"We anticipate that about $38 million will go back into the local community every year.
Twenty-eight million of that is going to come from the staff and the salaries."
Schult anticipates those people will buy everything from groceries to cars and houses.
The remaining $10 million will be used to purchase services and supplies, ideally locally.
"Fully activated we are going to house about 1,700 inmates and employ about 332 staff."
All that means the federal prison is going to be a big deal for the North Country.
About 200 employees will be new hires.
Correction officers can start with a salary ranging from just under $40,000 and reach just over $51,000, plus benefits.
But getting a job at a federal prison is extremely complicated.
And for Berlin, there's a great deal at stake.
Kathy Eneguess is President of the White Mountains Community College in Berlin.
"The last time that we saw something that was going to bring this number of jobs was when the mills were both up and running."
That's why the White Mountains Community College and New Hampshire's Department of Employment Security got together with about two dozen other groups to form what's called "The Talent Team."
Modeled after a successful program in West Virginia., it's designed to give people throughout the region their best chance of getting a job.
The Talent Team is sorely needed.
Take the application.
First – with rare exceptions – federal law prevents hiring anyone older than 36.
Applying includes an in-depth background check as well as passing a physical fitness test.
John Dyer, with White Mountains Community College, says one mistake with the online application means an excellent chance of not passing "Go."
"So, understanding how to fill it out in a way that it can be electronically scored satisfactorily so it will eventually end up in the hands of a human being in an HR department that will look at it is the great challenge."
That course takes fifteen hours.
There's also a course on writing skills.
A huge part of the process involves a background check.
James Michalik, with the Family Resource Center in Gorham, is part of the Talent Team.
"The Bureau of Prisons puts every single applicant through a very vigorous - and I say with no disrespect – intrusive background investigation."
It includes everything from a credit history to previous employers and residences.
The Family Resource Center helps applicants work out any problems with their credit history and shows them how to collect the needed documents.
Meanwhile the state's Department of Resources and Economic Development has been working with small businesses to give them their best chance of selling goods and services to the prison.
David Pease runs the state's program.
"The federal government does business, first of all, completely differently than business-to-business transactions. It is governed by a completely different body of law, lots of regulations."
The 245 million dollar prison sits on 700 acres.
A dozen or so employees are working there but there isn't a prisoner in sight.
It's in a kind of correctional limbo, because Congress declined to provide the funding in the last budget.
Just having the prison empty still costs about $4 million a year.
To have it operating would cost about $24 million more.
The latest hope is that the funding will be included this October in the 2012 fiscal budget.
John Dyer, of the White Mountains Community College, says there's upside to the delay.
"From my perspective it is great and that may sound counter-intuitive but it gives us more time to get the workforce ready, it gives us more time to get businesses ready."

Security stepped up after Jaipur serial blastsMay 14th, 2008 - 4:15 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi/Varanasi/Ahmedabad, May 14 (ANI): Security across the country has been beefed up after eight serial blasts rock Jaipur, claiming the lives of 70 people and injuring over 200 others.
In New Delhi, police jeeps and vans were seen patrolling during the early morning hours.
Madhukar Gupta, Central Home Secretary said that investigations are being carried out to crack the case and punish the culprits.
"We are going to find out what kind of explosives and what kind of devices these are? The teams are going to investigate all this. Our priority apart from vigilance and alert generally would be to get to the bottom of this and try to get hold of the people who are responsible for this," said Gupta.
In Varansi also, security has been beefed up around temples.
"After the blast at Hanuman temple in Jaipur, we were really scared. But, now the security is very tight here.," said Ramesh, a devotee.
People in Ahmedabad participated in a mass peace prayer for peace in the entire country.
Curfew has been imposed in 15 to 16 police station areas of Jaipur. The curfew has been imposed between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Schools and offices have been closed for the day.
A shutdown has been called across Rajasthan in protest against the blasts which took place at Manas Chowk, Johari Bazar, Tripolia Bazar, Badi Choupal, Choti Choupal, Kotwali areas of Jaipur's Walled City.
The banned Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI), which operates from Bangladesh, is believed to be behind the blasts, which took place at intervals spread over 15 minutes. (ANI)

The Government and Conservatives are tearing strips off each other about public borrowing, accusing one another of reckless spending on the one hand, and heartless cuts on the other.
Neither is right. Neither of their prescriptions for economic recovery will work.
Borrowing is going up. It always does in a recession, because tax receipts go down while welfare payments go up. The sensible thing is to allow this additional borrowing, but plan to compensate for it in the boom years.
The next question is whether you should pump-prime the economy with a fiscal stimulus funded by even more extra borrowing. Labour says yes, and seems to be planning unfunded tax cuts.
Meanwhile the Conservatives are dithering. Instead of being clear about what they would do now, they are making implausible predictions about public spending in 18 months' time. They say we must cut spending to start paying back debt. This is either trite or economically illiterate.
Trite because, as the economy recovers, of course we will have to tame spending to ensure we pay back government debt.
The only people who would disagree are a few South American socialist despots. Or economically illiterate because it would be madness to slash spending in the teeth of a recession that is likely to be still raging in 18 months' time.
Britain's economy does need a shot in the arm in the shape of a fiscal stimulus, but not the one Gordon Brown is offering.
His plan for a one-off cash bribe is not just economically unwise, but it will also seem ludicrously unfair to British people. Working families don't want a temporary loan: they want a fairer tax system that puts money in their pockets.
What the Government won't admit is that it could provide a big, permanent tax cut for the vast majority of taxpayers immediately, simply by closing the loopholes that benefit the wealthiest the most, a crackdown on corporate tax avoidance and tax changes to encourage environmentally friendly behaviour.
That means taxing capital gains as income, harmonising pension tax relief and stopping big companies from taking operations offshore to avoid tax.
That way, the Lib Dems would be able to cut the basic rate of income tax by 4p in the pound: someone earning £30,000 would pay nearly £1,000 less income tax - and they wouldn't need to pay it back in a few years' time. This is the way to fund tax cuts, not through borrowing.
A fiscal stimulus should come in a different form. It makes both practical and economic sense to use extra capital spending as a fiscal stimulus, investing in infrastructure. This is a more efficient way to stimulate the economy than temporary tax cuts, which might be saved instead of spent.
That's what's happening in America, where, despite a $168 billion tax rebate, consumer spending has declined sharply. That's no surprise when people know they're going to have to pay the money back.
By contrast, public spending will ensure that every penny gets spent creating demand. We cannot, of course, just turn on the government cash tap and spend willy-nilly. Stimulus must come in the form of capital - not current - expenditure.
If borrowing were used to employ more people or increase benefit payments, it would create an ever-growing structural deficit, making it impossible to balance the Budget in the long term.
Extra government borrowing should, therefore, be used to fund only capital spending projects, thus ensuring that additional spending is only temporary and Britain has the infrastructure it needs for a greener future economy.
That means projects such as retro-fitting homes to make them more energy-efficient, building social housing and high?speed rail projects.
Fair, permanent tax cuts and additional borrowing only to invest in infrastructure for the future: this is the way to get Britain out of recession and build a more stable, greener economy.

Special classroom for Kolkata priests ahead of Durga PujaSeptember 1st, 2008 - 9:33 pm ICT by ANI
By Soma Mitra
Kolkata, Sep.1 (ANI): Special training is being provided to priests in Kolkata ahead of the upcoming Durga Puja, the biggest annual festival of Bengalis devoted to Goddess Durga.
The need for providing such training was felt after noticing many a priests not paying due attention on their pronunciation skills of Sanskrit-based Shlokas.
Jayanta Kushari, an expert priest, is conducting the training programme where trainees of all age groups have enrolled themselves to acquire proper knowledge and work upon various areas of improvement.
The training program, which is being conducted at Sovabazar Raj Bari in Kolkata from August 26 to September 3, is focusing on improving pronunciation through voice modulations.
According to the trainer Jayanta Kushari, Durga Puja is partly known for its religious fervour and the ceremony involved.
"Durga Puja has two parts; one is the ceremony and the other is about the real Puja. What we are witnessing these days is that people are more interested in ceremonies. What is missing in Pujas is proper pronunciation and it needs to be paid attention to," said Jayanta Kushari, Professor and an expert priest.
Loudspeakers are used these days at most of the Puja Pandals or makeshift temples while singing the prayers or hymns for reaching out to people living at far off places.
It disappoints the devout if any priest is heard pronouncing a Shloka or verse improperly or singing hymns badly. It spoils the charm of attending the Puja and hurt religious sentiments.
Meanwhile, apart from hymns and Shlokas, the priests are also taught about various Durga Puja related legends. The classroom sessions are aimed at improving knowledge of the priests who perform Durga Puja at various pandals or makeshift temples.
"Here, we are taught topics related to Durga Puja. For instance, like how the deity got its name," said Bibhas Chakrabarty, a young priest.
Priests attending the training programme are hopeful that they would enhance their personal knowledge which would be beneficial for them in their work.
"I"m very curious to see how Jayanta Kushari has organised this special class and how he stresses on pronunciation of Sanskrit words, talks about grammar and richness of the language. I attend his classes wherever he organises them. I"m into this profession for the last 50 years. The way he sings the hymns and his pronunciation is not seen anywhere else," said Ajit Chakrabarty, an elderly priest
Jayanta Kushari has also organised such training in other parts of the country like Delhi, Gurgaon and in Uttar Pradesh to revive the ceremony. (ANI)

There is some pretty good value in the long term play prop markets. Here are my pick of them.
Most Receiving Yards
Julio Jones $19 (Bet365)
There is a reason the Falcons gave up so much to trade up for this kid, he is a stud, plain and simple. Julio is physically a massive unit, who has a tremendous burst of speed, making him a very dangerous deep threat. In his preseason outings he has notched up 240 yards and a touchdown on 13 receptions in just 6 quarters of action. If he can stay fit, then with an increased passing game expected Jones could well thrive. He has looked utterly unstoppable in preseason, building on his strong finish to 2011. Calvin Johnson deserves to be favourite but Jones is big overs at $19.

You are mixing up two things.
What you suggest, is exactly what I said should be done. You can say, "heck no we won't pay," and hope the contractor accepts your take on it and agrees not to make a stink. That's what most people will choose to do in these circumstances.
But you have no actual legal right to do so. The contract is for work done, and you cannot withhold it based on other factors if they did the CONTRACTED work. Despite the fact they may have also embezzled while performing said work. Not legally. Now if you decide to make a point of it, call his bluff and hope he won't sure you over it (and you counter-sue him for the theft) that's fine. But you still have no actual legal right to withhold payment for contracted services that were completed.
What you suggest is a negotiating tactic, and a common and viable one. It has no basis in law though.

Here it is – the most inefficient vehicle on the planet Earth. This is a 1997 AM General Hummer H1 and to be quite honest, it's spectacular. Powered by a turbocharged 6.5L 395 c.i. V8 diesel, this H1 had only covered 68,000 miles before it went through the wide-body conversion you see here. It rides on 46-inch tires with Rockstar rims, comes equipped with a Predator search and rescue bumper, custom LED brake lights, 9-foot roof rack and much more. Combine all this with some very trick matte grey paint and you truly do have a one-of-a-kind vehicle. You can read more about it by clicking on the eBay link below, or feel free to check out more pics after the jump.

Certain courses require that you have met prerequisites in order to add that course to your schedule. These courses are identified by the word "Prerequisite" at the end of the course description in WebAdvisor and in the College Catalog. The primary purpose of prerequisites and co-requisites is to ensure students possess the necessary knowledge and/or skills to be academically successful.
Prerequisites may be successful completion of one or more college level course, a minimum placement test score, and/or a minimum grade in a prerequisite course. You may add a course section even if you have not completed the course prerequisite provided you are currently registered for the prerequisite course.
If you do not successfully complete the prerequisite course, the course that required the prerequisite will be dropped from your schedule within five (5) calendar days of the start of the term.
Except where noted, "successful completion" is defined by a grade of "C-" or better in the prerequisite course. Grades that are not acceptable are "D+," "D," "D-," "F," "I," "W," or "Q".
Request For Prerequisite Waivers
Prerequisite waivers may be granted under the following circumstances: Prior coursework, IB or AP scores. Students requesting a prerequisite waiver may do so by completing one of the following options:
In-Person Requests:
- Go to the One Stop Center.
- Bring a copy of your college or university transcript and course description(s) (a syllabus may be required). All prerequisite courses must have been completed with a "C-" or better. If based on IB or AP, bring your Score Report.
- Student Records will evaluate requests and approve the prerequisite waiver, if appropriate.
E-mail Requests:
- Complete and e-mail the prerequisite waiver form
- Be sure to include ALL information requested. Only completed forms will be considered. All others will be disregarded.
- Include a copy of your college transcript and the applicable course descriptions. A syllabus may be required. If based on IB or AP, include your Score Report.
- In order to protect your privacy, this information must be sent from your FLCC E-mail Account. You will be contacted via the same.
Note: If you have successfully completed coursework at another college or university, it is very important that you get the coursework evaluated by a counselor for applicability in such areas as transfer and degree requirements as soon as possible.
Waiver Decisions
One of two things will happen: you will be asked to take the prerequisite course(s) or will be given permission to remain in the course. It is important to remember that a prerequisite waiver is not the same as a degree requirement waiver for graduation purposes. Students will need to work closely with their academic advisors to insure they can graduate in a timely fashion.

Chapter 1 : Beginnings
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
Hello there! This is my first ever fan fiction. I haven't read very many so far, but I hope Hit or Miss doesn't resemble someone else's too much. I would feel really sucky if someone thought I was trying to steal their story. Actually, I almost didn't post this because of that very reason. Anyway, enough of me blabbering on and on. Enjoy!
Disclaimer- If you recognize it, it definintly is not mine. Harry Potter belongs to the wonderful J.K Rowling, as do most of the characters in this chapter, excepting Clio, that is.
Oh, and I apologize in advance for any copying/pasting errors. I'm still learning.
"And then he just walks off. Just like that!" I sat up, pushing my hair out of my eyes groggily. I had just fallen asleep, and Lily decides to start talking about Potter Incident Number Seven again. And by seven, I mean the seventh time this week. Yeah, it's gotten that bad.
"Lily, I know he's a complete moron. You know he's a complete moron. Why are we still obsessing over this?"
Ok, even though I can't stand Potter and his little friends, I have to say; it's somewhat sweet how he only has eyes for Lily. Seriously, he has half the girls in Hogwarts fawning over him, yet he doesn't acknowledge a single one of them. That's devotion for you.
"Clio. It was humiliating. He stood up on the table, and announced that he was in love with me. Merlin, he's the reason I can't ever get a date!" Lily sighed in frustration, and flopped back on her bed.
Now, normally Lily wouldn't be this upset, but, this is PMS-Lily. Totally different person. Totally different way of dealing with a situation like this. Most of the time, I go and hide in the Forbidden Forest when something like this comes up. All of the creatures, even the nastier ones, respect me out of pure terror.
"Hey, you know what we need? Chocolate ice cream. And vanilla ice cream. And mint-"
"I'll go down to the kitchens in a minute."
"Oh, excuse me. I meant to say, Clio, get down to the kitchens and get me some ice cream. Now."
And that's how I ended up on a quest for ice cream at three-o-clock in the morning.
"Do my eyes deceive me? Or are the four Marauders trying to sneak into the Slytherin common room?" I stepped out of the shadows just as Black whipped around to face me. Peter jumped about ten feet in the air, Potter began beating his head against the wall, and Lupin sighed, taking a seat on the stone floor. He probably knew how long this would go on for, and I bet he's feeling just as good as I am.
Which is not very well, by the way.
"You should know. You've probably slept with most of them," Black sneered moving away from the common room door.
"Only one," I said raising my eyebrows while managing to maintain a somewhat innocent look.
Black's scowl deepened. He's never liked the fact that I'm eventually supposed to grow up and marry his little brother.
I've actually never slept with Regulus, or anyone else for that matter, I just say it to get under Black's skin.
He's said worse things to me.
"Whore." For a second, the look of contempt slid off his face, and was replaced with a look of confusion, "Ahh. I got you there, didn't I? Oh, come on, everyone knows you hop beds faster than anyone else here. You've probably slept with half of the fifth years and up. Except now, the rest of us are too smart to go for your till-dawn-do-we-part relationships."
"At least I know who both my parents are," he snorted, and then launched into a sloppy imitation of my voice, "Ahh. I got you there didn't I? Oh, come on, everyone knows you're the illegitimate child of your mom and some bastard. Hell, there's speculation that he wasn't even a pureblood. And we all know how much your kind values blood status."
How can he-? If he knows about that secret, how long is it until he finds out the other, more dangerous, secrets woven deeply into my past?
No. Not possible. He can't know. He won't ever know. Because no one would ever risk being so…so negligent as to let anything that would ever even hint at the actual truth slip. No one in my family.
But the look he's giving me. Smug. As if he does know. Which is impossible. But, still.
I felt my face harden into ice. On the outside, I was perfectly composed, jaw set in open defiance. But my heart was beating frantically, and I had to clench my hands into tight fists to keep them from trembling.
I didn't want to let it show that Black's words had shaken me up quite a bit. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Potter staring wide-eyed at Black. If even Potter thinks he's out of line, than he really is. Lupin opened his mouth, almost like he was going to say something, but then closed it again.
He really does look sick. Sure, I would, too, if it wasn't for my extensive knowledge of make-up and hair charms. Lily has been a real help.
"You know, Caverly, people talk. Especially drunk old hags who have nothing better to do with their lives than to gossip about other purebloods."
Before I could stop myself, I stepped forward, and hit him. Hard. Not some girly bitch-slap, an actual, full-on sucker punch.
While he was still processing what had just happened, I elbowed him in the stomach, and used my foot to sweep out his legs from under him at the same time.
He was laying on the floor, staring up at me in shock, holding the left side of his face where I had punched him.
I walked over him, making sure to stomp on his stomach as I did so. I continued down to corridor, waiting until I turned the corner before I started running.
I really could have handled the situation easily without letting my emotions get away from me, if everything Black said hadn't been spot on, one hundred percent completely correct.
Running into the dorm we share without the ice cream, instead sporting a busted hand and a pair of wild eyes, probably tipped Lily off that something wasn't right.
"Clio," She said gently, "tell me what happened."
And so I did. Starting from the beginning. I told her how my mother had an affair, and I was the product. I explained that the only reason my mother kept me was because it was a punishment from her husband. And he only kept me to remind my mother of what she had done.
I didn't tell her that my biological father is my uncle, or what else my adopted father (I use that term very loosely) did to me to make it worse for my mother. Really, it's his fault that I am what I am.
"But, I don't understand. Clio, why would your mother marry him if she loved someone else?"
I laughed bitterly, "Lily, purebloods don't marry for love. We marry for wealth, continuing the bloodline, and property. Not for whatever we deem worthy of love."
Lily frowns at my choice of words, and then a look passes across her face, almost as if she's debating whether or not to reply. She settles on staring at me thoughtfully.
I cross the room to the window, and pull the curtain. The sun is already rising. I've been talking with Lily for longer than I thought. There's no way I'm going to make it through the day without sleep in my current state of health.
"It's probably no use going to-" I look over, and Lily's already asleep, stretched out on my four-poster, "bed now."
I sighed. One of the only pros to my…condition, is that Lily and I get an entire dorm to ourselves. People would get suspicious if I didn't sleep in my dorm a few nights every month around the same time. I'm not known to go out for an entire night.
I sighed again, and curled up on Lily's bed.
The next day, I was determined to show those gits that they hadn't bothered me. So, I got up, and actually made an effort.
I showered, dried my hair with a heat charm, and put on just enough make up so that I went slightly over the border of natural vs. unnatural beauty.
By the time I was ready to go down to breakfast, my hair shimmered in perfect strawberry-blonde waves down to my hips. My bright, almost unnaturally large, cobalt blue eyes were clear and framed by a thin layer of black eyeliner. I wasn't wearing the required school uniform (as usual) and instead opted for skin tight black jeans, and a matching tight black sweater. I pulled on the outermost layer of my school robes. And of course, I smelled wonderful.
I looked heart-breakingly beautiful. As usual.
No wonder the bitches of Hogwarts hate me.
I glided into the great hall, walking side-by-side with Lily. (She always complains, jokingly of course, about how anyone walking beside me will look like a drunk and ditsy idiot.)
Regulus caught my eye, and waved me over to where he was sitting at the Slytherin table with my sister, brother, and the rest of their friends.
I looked over at Lily, slightly worried, but she smiled, telling me with her eyes that it was ok. That's one of the best things about Lily. She's sensible enough not to be jealous of me, and she understands that sometimes, I just have to go and interact with my family, even though I don't particularly like it.
Other people aren't so understanding.
I walked over to the Slytherin table and sat down in between Regulus and Avery. Just as I expected, as soon as I sat down, Avery's hand slid under the table, stopping to rest on my thigh. I gritted my teeth. Everyone knows I'm Regulus' girl (I'm technically not of that opinion. Actually, I'm more likely to hex anyone who even suggests that I, Clio Caverly, belong to someone else) But that doesn't stop some of them from trying anyway.
I shifted closer to Reg, almost sitting on top of him, and rested my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around my waist, and pressed his lips to the top of my head, eyeing Avery the whole time.
Even though Regulus is a year or two younger than some of us, no one would directly mess with him. He's been known to hold his own in fist-fights, and in duels. But he's not cruel. Not like Bellatrix, or Avery, or even my own siblings, Boris and Blythe.
Time always seems to go slower when I'm supposed to laugh at every Mud-Blood and blood traitor joke that one of them makes, but eventually, breakfast was almost over.
I stood up, leaning down to kiss Regulus. My hair fell over my shoulder, creating a curtain between us and Sirius, who was now glaring daggers at me from the Gryffindor table. There was a large bruise on the left side of his face. I tried hard not to grin in satisfaction.
"Later tonight? Our spot?" he barely whispered into my ear. I answered him with another kiss before turning, offering Sirius a sickly sweet smile, and walking out the door.
Well, there it is. My first attempt at a fan fiction. If you've got the time, please stop by and leave me a review. Good or bad, it would mean a lot to me. Thanks for reading, and hopefully, leaving a review.
Oh, wait. Before I forget, does anyone know where I might find someone to make a banner for this story? I don't think it would look very good if I tried to make it myself......
Till next time,

miRNA directed upregulation?! - (Jun/03/2010 )
Dear all!
To investigate wether my gene of interest is regulated by miRNA. I stably transfected a cell line using siRNA against Dicer and a scrambled one. I did RT-PCR of these transfected cell lines. The PCR results showed that in compare to scrambled one the Dicer has been knocked down 80% . Up to here it is ok. but when I investigated my gene I saw that in dicer knocked down cells, its expression have been down regulated. what we expected was its upregulation. ( since we proposed that it is regulated by miRNA) These results were confirmed with luciferase assay of 3'-UTR containing constructs. also I tried the differnt sizes of my gene promoter the rule out the possibility of regulation through promoter. The luciferase assay results showed no difference between the different sizes of promoter in dicer knocked down and scrambled one.
If anybody has an idea about what could be the explanation or how can I explain these results I would really appreciate it.
The downregulation of your gene following Dicer kd could be caused by secondary effect or miR mediated gene activation (at translational, mRNA and transcriptional levels).
You can further knockdown Drosha and Agos to see if the gene will also be downregulated. If yes, try to identify miRNA targets on its 3UTR and then transfect the miRNAs to see how they regulate your gene.

Thanks PCR man!
I have tried also Ago2 knockdown. ( two diffeerent shRNAs targeting different parts of Ago-2). The ago-2 knockdown was not as efficient as Dicer but even in Ago knocked dwon cells the gene expression is down regulated.
Yes, Ago2 knockdown efficiency is expected to be low because RNAi itself depends on Ago2. You may want to knockdown Drosha to prove that the miRNA machinery is required.
If your result (upregulation) has been confirmed by luciferase assay, then your observation is novel and interesting. Although Steitz's group has shown that miRNA could activate translation but only when cells are under stressed condition.

Where can I find clear luggage tags I have been searching high and low for them and I am not having any luck I only find the ones that have a Canadian flag on one side and a clear slot on the other?? I am in Canada and would like to purchase them from a store as opposed to ordering them due to time constraints!!! Any ideas would be awesome.

Here is a link to another post about luggage tags that gives different places to buy them. They are all online vendors, but their Web sites say they ship in 24 hours. Have you looked at office supply stores for them?
Good luck!
Good luck!
Posted 22 August 2009 - 05:25 PM
I sent luggage tags out for our Save the Dates. I went to Staples (office supplies store) and bought clear luggage tag-sized laminating pouches. They were perfect. They come with the luggage loop and they are prepunched for it. I borrowed my mom's lamintor but Staples will laminate them for you. I searched everywhere as well for clear luggage tags and this is the best I could find. They worked really well for our Save the Dates.

I got mine on amazon they are avery clear badge holders
Posted 22 August 2009 - 09:44 PM
thanks ladies. I will try staples first then check on line. I have tried luggage stores, Grand & Toy, shopping malls etc and no luck. Hopefully they will have some at Staples.
Posted 22 August 2009 - 10:11 PM
Thank you ladies for the venders, helps put a newbie like me in the right directions.
Posted 22 August 2009 - 11:54 PM
I am going to use business card laminators Dollar Rama, they were really reasonable, 10 for $1 and then tie ribbon to them. Just another idea for you.
Posted 23 August 2009 - 06:14 AM
Thanks for the great info!
Posted 23 August 2009 - 09:28 PM
Oh and helpful hint for those making luggage tags, it is not a good idea to put velcro on the end of the ribbons, just tie them. Haha I almost found that one out the hard way, the sticky stuff melts in the heat and slides off the ribbon.
Posted 25 August 2009 - 02:27 PM
lol thanks for the info on the velcro!

Spring Bulbs to Plant Now in Calgary
2 comments:
Very Comprehensive. Any problems with squirrels digging up the tulip bulbs? Any suggestions to stop them?ReplyDelete
Although I have major issues with squirrels I don't have too many problems with them digging up bulbs. Maybe because cold weather usually sets in pretty fast around here or many bulbs like tulips and daffodils are planted quite deep. If you are having issues I recommend chicken wire over top of the beds. I often apply blood meal to keep away squirrels and rabbits but too much rain can wash away all your efforts though. I also find that if you reapply fallen leaves over the planted area it tricks the squirrels, there is nothing more exciting to them than bare ground or ground that looks disturbed, they think another squirrel has buried something and we'll it makes them squirrely!ReplyDelete

ASSIGNMENT 2. MW class assigned MON SEPT 24 due THURS OCT 4 11:59 pm
This assignment is just like the first one except that it should be
robust. So if you type in the wrong number of digits, your program should print
an error message, set the boolean variable valid to False and
then stop. For example:
type your 4-digit int 64312 5 is the wrong number of digit
Hint: use the len() function.
If you type a non-digits in your input, your program should print an error
message, set valid to False
and then stop. For example:
type your 4-digit int 12u4 u is an invalid digit
Hint: use for c in s: . Each character has been assigned an
ASCII code (American Stadard Code for Information Interchange). The ASCII
codes for the digits are contiguous, i.e., they are grouped together. So if you
want to test for a non-digit, you must test for not a digit. Use the not
in front of the test for a digit.
If you input is valid (valid is True), the output should be the same as in the first program

I got really excited when I received an email from The Outnet. Like, tingling-fingertips excited. You girls should know what I mean, especially when I received one telling me about an exclusive sale for cool Balmain pieces at up to 85% off.
Damn, I was at work, so I couldn't just blatantly (window) shop, could I? The minute I got home today from a late dinner with friends, I jumped on the net to check out the goods.
Here are some pieces that I adore.
Top to bottom:
Structured wool jacket at £1069.50 from £3565
Quilted leather jacket at £2121 from £7070
Crystal-embellished mini dress at £4297.50 from £14325
Crystal-embellished wrap at £1428 from $4760
Really cool prices too, and some of these are….SOLD OUT within a day of the sale. Where did these ladies, or really generous men, get their money from?!!
I think, I might have to swear off thinking that 85% off means anything at all to me, lest I get prematurely excited.

Are you a young voter? Commentator Heather Power found a lot of apathy out there. Do you agree/disagree with her? Are you planning to vote? What do you Think the Facts are? Send us a comment below.
The CBC's Adam Walsh asked student leaders about young voters' attitudes and what they were doing to get the vote out.
'They [the NDP] have a candidate who is 18-years-old. I'm the youngest in the province ... They didn't pick me on my age solely, but that's really going to show youth that they can have a voice either by their voting or by running themselves.'— NDP candidate Noah Davis Power
'If we don't get youth out to vote, and if youth aren't being engaged, then we can't show our political leaders that youth do care about these things.'—Michael Walsh, MUNSU
'And we've been trying to spread ourselves as far as we can across the province, within reason, to show people that young people do count, young people do care and are involved.'—Young Liberal Nathan Barnes
'I think that the parties - all three parties - are really focusing on youth, rightfully so because the youth are the future of Newfoundland and Labrador. We have a very ... aging population. Certainly the oldest population on average in Canada. And when you look around the university centre, these are the people who are going to be taking care of my parents and your parents and our grandparents.'—Young Progressive Conservative Erin Skinner

The man beaten during what police call a road rage incident in late September has died.
William "Andy" McFarlan, 64, had been in hospice care since shortly after the Sept. 29 attack. Investigators last week said they did not expect him to survive from his injuries.
McFarlan was in the area of Whitneyville Avenue and 60th Street when he was allegedly beaten by 18-year-old Christian Hillman.
Although investigators describe the incident as road rage related, there is no indication as to how it started. Hillman claims McFarlan grabbed his neck.
Another witness in a court appearance last week stated they were driving an ATV and became separated from Hillman. When they found each other again, the witness stated he saw Hillman kicking a man who was unconscious on the ground, next to his pick-up truck.
Prosecutors have said if McFarlan died, the charges against Hillman would be raised to second-degree murder. He currently is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for the McFarlan family.

Vegan Mayo with Avocado Sauce
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: In Brazil, we are all about mayo. Traditionally, we serve it with lots of processed mayo and a ton of potatoes. Carrots are just for a dash of color.
This is a fun and delicious turn on Brazilian traditional Mayo: instead of potatoes, I used carrots, yam and sweet potatoes. Instead of store bought mayo, very ripe avocado, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, mustard and lime (what a difference a lime makes).
I served this recipe as a side dish at Christmas Night and waited for the "uh-ohs", but they never came! Everyone loved it - until I told them it was made out of avocados: no one could believe it was so healthy and delicious, at the same time. —Manu Alves
Serves 4
- 2 carrots
- 1 yam
- 1 sweet potato
- 3 teaspoons salt
- Peel and dice the vegetables.
- Using 3 different pans (one for each vegetable), cook the vegetables until cooked, but still firm: cover them with water, then add 1 teaspoon of salt. Careful not to overcook them.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan and shock them in cold water, to stop the cooking process. Drain the veggies.
Avocado Mayo
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 lime
- 1/2 clove of garlic
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- Just blend everything in a mixer or a food processor.
- Combine the avocado mayo with the vegetables, adjust the salt and serve right away.

He Shall Be Livan: Marlon Anderson DFA'edApril 12, 2009
Marlon Anderson was cut by the New York Mets today to make room for Livan Hernandez, the starting pitcher in today's game against the Marlins.
Originally an "okay field, some hit" second baseman with the Phillies, Anderson had two stints with the Mets as a utility player, mostly as an outfielder and pinch hitter. As a Met, he batted .254 with 11 home runs over parts of four seasons. Widely praised as a pinch hitter, Anderson has batted .273 over his career in that role.
A veteran of 10 major league seasons, he is also a great clubhouse presence and is respected by his teammates. Yet this season, he was hitless in four at bats as a pinch hitter and it didn't look like he had very much left in the tank.
Now, as an "old" 34-year-old without a permanent position and clearly not a full-time player, he can be signed for the remainder of the season for the major-league minimum, prorated to the number of days left in the season. Good luck, Marlon, and let's hope "respected clubhouse veteran" gets you a bench spot on a young team.

While they were both enjoying the sights and sounds at the sixth annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Pacific Palisades, Calif. over the weekend, they posed for a snap together and looked like the same person standing on either side of former MTV host Melanie Iglesias. "Fun time today at my first ever polo match! Great seeing @ninadobrev w/ my girl @MelanieIglesias," Victoria captioned the shot on Twitter.
Needless to say, our minds were blown...and we weren't the only ones. Fans lost it when Victoria posted the photo, with one tweeting, "Y'ALL LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE I'M GOING INSANE," another writing, "This is the best thing I've seen all day," and another writing, "omg this is a historical picture." Agreed.
And as if that wasn't enough, she posted another shot...a selfie with her and Nina standing right next to each other. "Scenes from my 1st polo match. Sidenote: The 1st pic was taken right before I threw the First Drop of the game (similar to the 1st pitch of a baseball game)," she captioned the collage with the epic selfie in it.
Anyone else think Melanie looks exactly like them too? #squadgoals

PHOENIX — Yani Tseng two-putted for par from 40 feet in fading light to hold off Ai Miyazato and Na Yeon Choi by a stroke Sunday at the LPGA Founders Cup.
The third-round co-leader from Taiwan, ranked No. 1 in the world, shot 4-under 68 to finish at 18-under 270. It was her 14th tour title and second in four events this year.
The second-ranked Choi also shot 68. And Miyazato, the other third-round leader, shot 69.
Because of lightning, play was delayed three times for a total of three hours. Tseng made her winning 2-foot putt at 6:45 p.m. — 8 hours, 4 minutes after she teed off and seven minutes after sunset.
"I couldn't see much of a distance," Tseng said. "So I tried to say to myself, 'Okay, just finish these few holes, just hit a good shot, good contact.' "
After temperatures in the mid 80s Thursday and Friday and high 70s Saturday, it plunged into the low 40s Sunday morning and only got up to the mid 50s. And for a few minutes, hail fell.
Three strokes behind Miyazato at the turn, Tseng birdied five of the first six holes on the back nine and closed with three pars.
"It rained so hard, and it was really cold," Miyazato said "And my hands didn't have (much) feeling. So it was really tough."
Roberts wins Toshiba
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif — Loren Roberts shot 69 to win the Champions Tour's Toshiba Classic by two strokes over Mark Calcavecchia, Tom Kite and Bernhard Langer.
Roberts began the day two behind Calcavecchia but birdied three of his first four holes. He bogeyed Nos. 7, 14, 16 and 17 before making a 5-foot birdie at 18 to finish at 8-under 205.
"We did make it interesting," he said.
Calcavecchia (73) and Kite (69) also bogeyed Nos. 16 and 17. Langer (70) made double bogey at No. 17.

German police: Body of missing Scottsdale man pulled from Rhine RiverPosted: Updated:
FRANKFURT -- German police say that the body of a man pulled from the Rhine River has been identified as missing 22-year-old Devon Hollahan of Scottsdale.
Frankfurt police said Tuesday that Hollahan was positively identified through DNA testing. His body had been pulled from the Rhine on Dec. 15 near the town of Boppard, which is about 62 miles northwest of Frankfurt.
Hollahan was reported missing Nov. 21. His father, Jeff Hollahan, traveled to Frankfurt to search for his son and spent three weeks canvassing the city and tacking up fliers with pictures and contact information. He returned home to Scottsdale last week.
Police say Hollahan died from drowning and they don't suspect foul play.

As Richard Fisher, who once owned this impression, stated in his Introduction to a Catalogue of the Early Italian Prints in the British Museum (London, 1886), 'Saint John the Baptis is the most important of Giulio Campagnola's engravings' (ibid. p. 276).
What makes this print so intriguing and striking is the combination of two seemingly disparate styles - the 'marriage' of two towering artistic personalities in Italy around 1500: Andrea Mantegna and Giorgione da Castelfranco. The majestic figure of John the Baptist is undoubtedly based on a composition by Mantegna, now lost, but known to us from a slightly earlier engraving by Girolamo Mocetto (B. 5).
The landscape on the other hand was possibly directly transferred from a drawing in the Louvre, Paris, which is attributed to Giorgione, and pricked for tranfer. While the outlines of the figure and the folds of the saint's cloak are described with clear, hard lines, which lend it a monumental, sculptural quality, the landscape and the shading is rendered in a system of tiny dots of varying strength and density, created by little flecks with the burin or needle into the copper plate.
It seems that Campagnola invented this 'stipple technique' in direct cooperation with Giorgione, in order to translate the painter's own invention, the sfumato-technique, and his lyrical painting style into the medium of engraving. In fact, the collaboration between the two artists was such that, while both artists's oeuvre is extremely small, some of Giorgione's lost compositions have only survived in a handful of prints by Campagnola.
Beautiful as it may be, the 'stipple technique' proved unpractical: very few good impressions could be taken before the plates wore out and couldn't be reworked. Campagnola's prints are hence extremely rare, and 'stipple engraving' was forgotten until the rise of the reproductive print in the 18th century.
It seems that only very few - if any - impressions were taken during Campagnola's lifetime. Campagnola must have taken some proof impressions, but none appear to have survived: all known examples are posthumous, although Nicolo Nelli's address has often been trimmed off in an attempt to make the prints pass for early impressions. Only about thirty examples are known, most in public collections, and the last Saint John the Baptist to come to the market was offered in these rooms in 1979.
The British Musem holds two examples of this print, one fine and early, but trimmed and damaged, and a later, weak one, neither of which retain Nelli's address. The present impression, which was sold by Christie's before in 1854, compares favourably to the finer of the two.

text: Hello everyone, Does Erlang support process migration? Meaning, is there a way in which I can stop a running process (A) on one node and resume it on another completely different node? If this is not supported, one way to go around it is to extract the process state before suspending it and somehow inject it into the new process on the remote node. Does Erlang provide such functionality? Any tips and suggestions on how one can extract/ inject the process state from/ into processes? - Thanks in advance -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ian Powell, chairman and senior partner, rejected claims the firms are anti-competitive, insisting they dominated the sector because of major investment in recent years.
PwC is facing probes from regulators in the UK and Europe alongside rivals Ernst & Young, Deloitte and KPMG.
"The auditing market is ferociously competitive and we reject any claim that suggests otherwise," Mr Powell said. "We work on behalf of some of the most sophisticated clients in the world – who are required to approve our appointment each and every year."
In July, the big four lashed out against the prospect of a Competition Commission investigation in the UK, claiming the plan is unnecessary and potentially damaging to London.
Regulators hope to rein back the power of the firms who audit the accounts of 99 of the companies in the FTSE 100.
Mr Powell's comments come as PwC today releases its full year results, with pre-tax profits of £667m in the year to June 30, up marginally from £665m last year. The company paid an average of £763,000 to each of its partners, compared to £759,000 previously.
PwC saw turnover rise 6pc to £2.46bn, with revenues in its assurance division hitting £909m and £907m in its advisory unit.
Mr Powell said the company would remain on the look out for suitable acquisitions and would bolster staff numbers further, having recruited 3,200 employees across the business last year.
"I am pleased to report turnover growth of 6pc, a strong performance in a period of volatile financial markets, fragile economic confidence and the tightening of public expenditure.
The results compare favourably to close rival Deloitte, which cut partners' pay by 13pc last month after full year profits dipped 6pc to £510m in the year to the end of May.

What is this page?
This is a collection guide. It is a description of archival material held in the Special Collections Division,
J.Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University. The materials described here are physically available in our
reading room. To see what's been digitized in this collection, click on the thumbnail at the top right of this page
or look for hyperlinks in the container list and/or the preliminary inventory.
The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence. Early letters concern Spoon's interest in establishing an ice-making plant in Burlington, N.C., his desire to work as a surveyor, and his employment by the North Carolina Geological Survey and the Alamance County Superior Court. Other letters pertain to Spoon's life in Texas where he taught school and worked on a press to revolutionize the cotton industry. Included in this correspondence (1895-1896) are comments on the climate in Texas, on farm machinery used to harvest crops, and corn prices. Of particular interest is the observation that people were burning their corn as fuel since prices on it were too low to warrant shipping it to market. Later correspondence pertains to Spoon's travels to sell a coat rack which he had invented. During his stay in Baltimore, Maryland, he wrote on the climate, his concern over the measles and influenza epidemics in North Carolina, and the loading of flour, cotton, and lumber aboard a ship bound for Liverpool, England. The remainder of the correspondence pertains to Spoon's appointment as supervisor of roads in Alamance County (1897), crop prospects (1897, 1907), a flood of the Arkansas River (1908), and the weather in Washington, D.C., in April 1919. Correspondence between Addie Spoon and her sister deals with family affairs and daily life (1880-1882).
A small notebook entitled
The Methodist Recorder contains a description of the Methodist Christian Endeavor Rallies (1894) held in Cleveland, Ohio, and some notes on sermons and speeches heard there. One copy each of the
Friends' Review (1859) and
The Epistle From the Yearly Meeting (1833) contain information on Quaker groups in Great Britain and Pennsylvania.
A diary recording Spoon's activities from July 2, 1926, to January 11, 1927, is also included in the collection. It recounts the building of a house in Burlington, Spoon's travels to Virginia and North Dakota on assignment for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and his work on Alamance County roads. Of particular interest are reports on the weather and scenery in the Midwest, a bridge being built over the Missouri River, and rail travel in 1926.
Several different farmers' almanacs from the period of 1838-1842 deal with general agricultural topics and the production of sugar beets and silk worms.
Blums Farmer's & Planter's Almanac for 1856, 1864, 1865, 1867, 1869, and 1915 lists the state government officers and their salaries.
The Arator for 1856 and 1857 has articles on turpentine production in N.C. and
The Farmer's Advocate for June 1, 1840, has an article on cinch bug control in N.C.
Another item of interest is a North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey for June 6 to July 21, 1924, which records soil surveys in various N.C. counties primarily to determine which records soil surveys in various N.C. counties primarily to determine which soils made the best roads. There is also a handwritten report entitled "Historical, Statistical and Geological Information for Alamance County."
Two maps of Alamance County included in the collection were drawn by William L. Spoon. One shows the county as it was in 1893 and the other as it was in 1928. Two photographs show road crews and steam-powered equipment working on road construction (undated).
There is a group of promissory notes and other financial papers from the estate of Eli Moser of Orange County, N.C., (1820s). George M. Spoon was the executor of Moser's estate.
Enrollment of the Conscripts of the 68th Regiment, North Carolina Militia, Guilford County, 8th day of July, 1862 is also included.
Miscellaneous material includes various financial papers such as tax receipts and summonses to court for nonpayment of debts; a genealogy for the Isley family (1836-1878); a cure for cancer (1881); and three pamphlets written by Spoon:
The Art of Soldering, Building Sand-Clay Roads in Southern States (1903), and
The Construction of Sand-Clay and Burnt-Clay Roads. Other items of interest include two illustrated catalogs and price lists of the John W. Douglas Co. of New York; a copy of Pierce's Memorandum and Account Book; a copy of the
Oakdate Student of Alamance County, N.C., for March, 1886; a catalog for
Littleton Female College, Littleton, N.C. (1910); a catalog for
Trinity School, Chocowinity, N.C. (1893-1894); and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (1839).
A folder of land records includes deeds and indentures from Person, Guilford, and Orange counties, N.C., (1705-1828).
Oversize folders contain N.C. newspapers from the 1800s and early 1900s and three deeds from Orange County, 1769-1796.
William Luther Spoon (1862-1942) was the son of George Monroe and Nancy (nee Stafford) Spoon of Alamance County, N.C. Spoon attended the University of North Carolina where he was a member of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society.

The five-county Denver region in Colorado experienced a 146 percent increase in its population between 1940 and the end of 1965, growing from 407,962 to just over a million. 70 years ago, the city and county of Denver dwarfed the metropolitan region's other counties and cities in terms of population, but early suburban development in the 1920s and 1930s set the stage for subdivision growth. In 1939, Denver slowly emerged from the stagnation affecting housing growth during the Great Depression, and as the United States prepared for World War II Denver became a major center of federal military activities, and after the war many veterans came to the Denver region to live. Federal programs designed to assist returning veterans in acquiring homes resulted in the metropolitan area's greatest period of growth in the 20th century, creating hundreds of new residential suburbs. Between 1940 and 1965, builders erected more than 160,000 new single-family dwellings within Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson Counties. The thousands of subdivisions created in the region of the 1940-65 period varied in terms of scale, street layout, size and shape of blocks and lots, amenities, protective covenants, and the manner in which development proceeded.
