LISBON, Ohio (WKBN) – Columbiana County Commissioners and the Emergency Management Agency have set up a cold weather plan for residents in the wake of a regional propane shortage and frigid temperatures.
Emergency Management Director Luke Newbold said Saline Oil, which services about 500 residents in the county, had been at critically low levels as of late Monday, but a joint effort between Carroll County and Momentum, another oil company, worked to provide an emergency delivery, which has boosted reserves.
"We already distribute a lot to Ohio right now and they already have 315 customers that distribute the product out, but we were able to pull some of those and say 'we've got a company that's in trouble and they need some gas now'," said Eric Mize of Momentum.
Getting the 8,000 gallons of propane to Saline ended up being a cross country venture.
"All the way to Colorad, Texas and Kansas to pull this off, believe it or not. Just to make this change paths," Mize said.
Saline Oil officials said they're thankful for the delivery, but the company is not out of the woods. It's worried about next week as all propane and home oil heating companies are working to keep up with demand during the latest winter blast.
In the meantime, several warming stations have been set up throughout the county for anyone that is in need of shelter from the cold.
Newbold said Community Action is available for anyone needing transportation between 5:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. For more information, call 330-424-4015.
Warming Stations:
Wellsville Central Church, 100 Main St., Wellsville.
Salineville Fire Department, 34 Washington St., Salineville. Call 330-679-2321 for further assistance.
East Liverpool City Hall, 126 W. 6th St.
Franklin Fire Department, 32046 Spruce St., Summitville. Call 330-223-2001 for further assistance.

Lalala, it seems I have a crush on fringe bags. On everything that has a fringe on it, everything I can play with, finger comb and wrap it around my fingers when I'm stressed or waiting for something

Hi! Let me show you how you would look if you were a girl called Marlenka, being a little downhearted because of worldwide and personal stuff (hey Karma, didn't you like my 11 Jan. post?)
If you had a long and icy way to the nearest bus stop, so wearing high heels could kill you, and your hair efforts doesn't make sense anyway. If you were into casual dressing and neutral colors and sixties stuff and funny friendship and your strange dreams and learning and winter movies,
you would probably wear: thrifted coat, Atmosphere lace dress, hat from Flaunt and H&M wedges ♥

Title: The Man Who Carved Skulls
Author: Richard Parks
Publisher: Lightspeed Magazine, Issue 36 (Reprint from 2007 Weird Tales)
Date: May 2013
"I married your mother for her skull. It's no secret."
So begins the story of Jarak, the skull carver. His profession is a noble one — etching images into the skulls of the deceased to forever commemorate their lives in the House of Skulls. Jarak's son, Akan, takes an interest in his father's work, hoping one day to follow in his footsteps.
Jarak tells his son how he met his mother and how she ultimately married him in hope of having her own skull immortalized with greater beauty and prestige than any of the other heads on display in the tomb. It's a vain love story, but both Jarak and his wife, Letis, are happy.
The conflict begins when Jarak's health takes a turn for the worst and it appears that Jarak's promise to decorate his wife's skull will go unfulfilled. She has not the courage to commit suicide and Jarak doesn't have the heart to kill her. Only Akan can intercede if his parent's deepest wishes can come true.
At first, after reading this story, I was reminded of the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel, Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. Ender Wiggin is faced with a similar dilemma where he must commit a violent act against an alien species for the "piggie" to be immortalized. Card adroitly deals with the subject of conflicting ethics and norms, making this novel superior to its predecessor, Ender's Game.
In The Man Who Carved Skulls, Akan's dilemma is not one of ethics, but of cost. Is it worth the cost of losing his own freedom and future so that his parents' dreams can be fulfilled? There is also a message of love, asking to what extent a person will carry out an undesirable act for the ones he loves.
I found the story to be well-written and thought-provoking. I love situational ethics and the dilemma presented touches on this subject. Where I was a bit lost was with the selfishness of Letis. Not only is she vain, but she is so cowardly that she would rather have her son punished for his entire life than kill herself. Akan, rather than being a selfless hero, becomes a victim. Not even his deed is noble, for all it accomplishes is fulfilling her shallow pursuit.
While my later reflections have mixed thoughts, the story did provide an idea that made me think beyond the last line. Even though the characters were not all that likable, I really liked the premise and overall found it to be a rewarding read.

At the Novodevichy cemetery was inaugurated a monument to Primakov
The opening ceremony of the monument to the Russian politician Yevgeny Primakov was held Wednesday at the Novodevichy cemetery. It was attended by the Minister of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, his Deputy Grigory Karasin and Mikhail Bogdanov, the former head of the audit chamber Sergei Stepashin.
The composition of the monument consists of a huge stone slab, on which is inscribed the verses of Yevgeny Primakov: "I firmly decided to be completely in harness until he's wiped out until the fall. And if it becomes unbearably hard, and then the road will not go."
Primakov began his career in the newspaper "Pravda", which toured the countries of the Middle East. In 1991-1996 year he headed the foreign intelligence Service, in 1996-1998, he held the post of Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia. Primakov died 26 June 2015, at the age of 85 years.Related posts:

Quarter final
Holland v Brazil
Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth
Kick-off: Fri July 2, 3pm BST
TV: BBC1, BBC1 HD 2.30pm BST
These teams have met just three times in the World Cup previously – and all three have been epic battles.
In 1974, in West Germany, Holland won 2-0 to finish top of the second group stage and qualify for the final, a game they lost 2-1 to the hosts.
Twenty years later, in the United States, a quarter-final clash saw Brazil win by the odd goal in five.
And in the next World Cup, in France, Brazil won a semi-final against the Dutch, the victory came courtesy of penalties.
Brazil make one forced change. With Ramires suspended for collecting a second year card, against Chile, they could call back Gilberto Silva or Dani Alves to midfield.
So far this has neither been Total Football nor Jogo Bonito. The Dutch and the Brazilians have taken a far more pragmatic, hard-to-beat approach but there is still flair there although not as obvious as of old.
Elano ruled out with an ankle injury while Ramires is suspended and Felipe Melo is also a doubt. Arjen Robben's return to fitness is a significant boost to the Dutch as he offers more pace and directness than Rafael van der Vaart.
Touchline duel
Dunga is the youngest coach left in the World Cup and is aiming to match Franz Beckenbauer's record of winning the competition as a player as well.
He has moulded a team in his image, somewhat, as a tough, disciplined defensive midfielders and has had a tetchy relationship with the Brazilian media.
Bert Van Marwijk is an experienced, organised coach. He is also, crucially for the often feisty Dutch, calm and collected and is also known as a good communicator.
Talking tactics
Both coaches – Bert Van Marwijk and Dunga - deploy similar tactics with two deep-lying defensive midfielders playing behind a quartet of more attacking players. They have also both faced criticism for this.
The onus is very much on that front four to create and the Brazilians would appear to have more options, even though Elano is missing, while the Dutch will rely on Arjen Robben.
Key clash
Kaka v Wesley Sneijder: The battle of the play-makers. The Brazilian has had a curious World Cup, including a sending off and has looked far from fit, while, despite his two goals, the Dutch feel Sneijder has yet to dominate in the way he did for Inter Milan last season. The stage is set for one or both to take control.
What they say
Bert Van Marwijk: "We are a small country but a creative country and we have what Johan Cruyff always described as 'a kind of arrogance.' We cannot let that arrogance become negative. It must be a positive arrogance."
Dunga: "Holland have a style of play very similar to ours. They are a team with a South American style
Probable teams
Holland (4-2-3-1): Stekelenburg; Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Van Bronckhorst; Van Bommel, De Jong; Robben, Sneijder, Kuyt; Van Persie.
Brazil (4-2-3-1): Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Michel Bastos; Gilberto Silva, Melo; Dani Alves, Kaka, Robinho; Luis Fabiano
Referee: Yuichi Nishimura (Japan).
Previous Meetings
Played: 9 Holland 2 wins, Draws 4, Brazil 3 wins
1963: (Amsterdam, Friendly): Holland 1 Brazil 0
1974: (Dortmund, WC): Holland 1 Brazil 0
1989: (Rotterdam, Friendly): Holland 0 Brazil 1
1994: (Dallas, WC): Brazil 3 Holland 2

1999: (Salvador De Bahia, Friendly): Brazil 2 Holland 2
1999: (Goiania, Friendly): Brazil 3 Holland 1
1999: (Amsterdam, Friendly): Holland 2 Brazil 2
Fact: The winners between these teams in the World Cup have always gone on to reach the final.
Prediction: So close to call: Samba Spirit v Total Football. The brazilians are probably just too strong for the Dutch.

UnNews:England regrets letting foreigners play their sports
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
England regrets letting foreigners play their sports
Where man always bites dog
Tuesday, March 20, 2018, 16:20:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
26 June 2014
The inquest has started why England are 'rubbish' at playing foreigners in the games they invented.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to hold a 'full and frank review' of the English failure to beat other teams in the 2014 Football World Cup in Brazil and the equal embarrassment of the cricket team folding against Sri Lanka. Also the inability of the English Rugby Union to defeat the New Zealand's All Blacks will be added to the inquiry. Only tennis is spared as Andy Murray won Wimbledon in the tennis last year - but that may change if Scotland vote for independence on 18th September this year.
The woeful performance of English teams this year (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland don't count officially when it comes to talking about Britain) has been the subject of excessive navel gazing. The received opinion is that England's fortunes were lost on the playing fields once they let foreigners play the same game and beat them.
Dating back to the setting up of FIFA by the French and the dismantling of the British Empire, for years teams from England have had to accept defeat as a way of life. Cameron has promised this will change and will recommend a referendum so that England can make its own rules and not be subjected to international interference.
"The Americans have got it right. They don't let other people decide how to play their football game, baseball or basketball. They make the rules and enforce them. We in England have surrendered this ability to fix the rules and now we are paying the price of not winning. I hope this review will re-inforce my opinions on what has gone on. That is why I think a referendum to withdraw from FIFA, the ICC (cricket) and perhaps even IRB (Rugby Union) should go ahead in time for us leaving the European Union."
Fears that this would also affect England's Tiddlywinks team who are currently in Baghdad to play against a team from ISIS and the Mahdi Army. In their last contest, the English/British team fled Basra without their tiddles or winks when up against a tough Taliban team from Afghanistan.

It's after midnight.
And he's driving down the middle of an empty country road when he just flicks the headlights right off and the black isn't black after all.
"Look at it!" I whisper it out the passenger window. The bowl of milky moon's spilling over snow sleeping fields. "You could drive the whole way home without the lights on."
"That moon sure is bright… " The Farmer's leaning over the steering wheel. The moon's reflecting the sun and the Christmas white countryside's reflecting the moon and we're all faces shining tonight nearing the solstice, the whole world looking up.
It's Advent. Isn't this what wise men do?
Two thousand years ago, far in the east, magi were like this, craning necks back to touch the black.
To read star Braille in the dark.
Members of the ruling body of the Megistanes, they were robed sages with absolute powers in the selection of the king for the eastern empire. The wise men were king-makers. King-Makers feeling along the stars for a sign, knowledge revealed.
We're just farmers heading back towards the hearth.
But these waiting nights of advent, we too press our ears up to the heavens to catch a word of this speech pouring forth, press our faces into the night, looking for knowledge of Who is I AM, of who I am.
Isn't the whole planet out, looking up for a King?
Up is deep, a sky of endless emptiness, endlessly full.
Sun-stars so far away, they're small.
That make me feel my own smallness.
The cosmic dome blinks and sparks and spins with the heavenly host.
Eight thousand light years into that celestial ocean, the whirl of a stellar wind forms the waving threads of the Hourglass Nebula with the peering eye in the center.
I can't see it but the Sombrero Galaxy's blinding white, its bulbous centre spinning like an explosive broad-rimmed hat, whipping up a spiraling dust ring 28 million light years from these December fields.
A mere 7,000 light years away, the filmy wings of the 90 trillion kilometers high Eagle Nebula, bears newborn stars in its explosive nursery. I wonder if I should clap for this speech thundering down?
I am bereft of words, movement. Awed still.
Night air snaps cold and heaven pushes close, blanketing, and I think I can almost touch them, all these stars.
Aren't there only a few thousand I can see with the naked eye?
And then all the deeper ones in the galaxies farther in.
Seventy thousand million, million, million in the known universe, so the current wise men say.
Who also say that "that is 10 times as many stars as the grains of sand on all the world's shores and deserts."
We're out here looking up in this season of waiting for a king. I read along the stellar dots raised in the night:
"He breathed the word, and all the stars were born" (Ps.33:6 NLT).
Our God breathes stars.
Is that the wisp of His breath rising in the Eagle Nebula?
Sitting here beside The Farmer, my swine herder, I think of sheep herders who saw God breathe a Star of Wonder over a Bethlehem sky.
That night, like this, the heavens declared the glory of God, pouring forth speech: "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased" (Lk. 2:14).
Did the angels' wings rise over the shepherd's fields like the Eagle Nebula's rises high over ours?
We're driving home on an advent night, looking up, hearing, seeing, nearly touching the glory of God, but it all begs the question: who are we that He is mindful of us?
I look up at starry host and marvel at omnipotent I AM… but who are we?
Voyageur 1, the spacship, snapped the picture of who we are, on Valentine's Day, 1990, from 4 billion miles away, as the spacecraft turned around for one final glance back at its home before it drifted forever out of our solar system.
The photograph initially seemed inconsequential.
But men leaned in, read the sky painstakingly — and there we are.
That's who we are: the entire planet an infinitesimal 0.12 pixel in the photographed scheme of space.
It almost looks like nothing, this globe with its craning wise men.
Pale Blue dot of Earth in shaft of sun light, taken 4 billion miles away
So we float, captured quite serendipitously in a scattered light ray from the sun, suspended in the lonely black of space.
We're just driving home on a cold, Canadian night.
And the whole of the world sleeps, and works, and schemes and worships, and is, a pinpoint.
If the heavens declare the glory of God… what does this picture of the pale blue dot declare of earth?
Eminent astronomer Carl Sagan, deeply moved by the photograph of us in the universe, said,
"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves."
~Carl Sagan
Really? "No hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves"?
This century's supposed wise man — he didn't look high enough.
God didn't bother with a mere "hint."
He rang it across the heavens, broadcast it from the astral apex, shattered the skies with the tidings.
True wise men look up and know whence this pale blue dot's help comes from: Our help comes — wildly — from the very Maker of these staggering heavens and minute earth.
He who breathes stars, breathed Bethlehem Star, then took on lungs, breathed in heavy stable air.
The cosmos sings. We are not alone.
We rightly know who we are, a "lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark" — but we know Who He is: on those living in land of the shadow of death, a great Light has dawned (Isa 9:2).
Incomprehensible One who cradles galaxies in the palm of His hand, whom highest heavens cannot contain, curls his newborn fist in a barn feed trough on orbiting earth — and we're saved from ourselves.
God with us.… God whirling with us here on this singular, pale blue dot.
Emmanuel… God with us.
We are not alone.
Who cannot bow low before Cosmic King, God come down?
Love come down…
We turn at our sideroad, drive up through the woods, still looking up. Following the way of the wise men — eyes looking up.
The snow's lying still, bright.
The moon hangs, an ornament, in all these trees that have thrown off their coats in joy of the season — the joy of His coming.
And all the world tonight —
It glows this wonder in the dark.:::
"Celestial Word, proceeding from
The Eternal Father's Breast
And in the wend of ages come
To aid a world distressed."

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jurgen Klinsmann would rather see American players test themselves in the top leagues overseas. It's a stance he's had since taking over the U.S. soccer team three years ago and one he's also had to soften.
When the Americans head to Brazil for this summer's World Cup, there could be 13 Major League Soccer players on the 23-man roster. Four years ago, then coach Bob Bradley brought just four MLS players to South Africa. In both the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, there were 11 MLS players on the roster. In 1998, there were 16.
"It's a little bit cyclical," says U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati. "The long-term vision has always been to be an elite league and to have the best American players playing in that league. Over time, I think you will see a trend. …In the top leagues, players stay home because the economics are such they can stay home, that's the place where you want to be with MLS. As the game continues to grow, we'll see more of that."
ROSTER: Gonzalez a rising star on defense
In Wednesday night's exhibition game against Mexico, 19 of the 20 on the roster will be MLS players. The only European-based player: Bayern Munich's Julian Green, an 18-year-old German-American forward, who chose to play for the United States last week.
Since the match did not fall on an international fixture date, clubs were not required to release their players. Several Mexican league players contending for World Cup spots were not made available by their clubs.
Before the Mexico game, Klinsmann emphasized that he still wants to see players be challenged at the highest level, but he also understands that not every situation is the same. Maurice Edu and Michael Parkhurst, who were brought in for the Mexico game, both left their European clubs for MLS teams this season in hopes of making the World Cup roster. Playing a full 90 minutes in MLS, and assuming a leadership role, is certainly better than sitting on the bench in England or Germany.
"We accept the fact that Major League Soccer is not yet at the level of the Champions League in Europe, but our goal is to be there," says MLS commissioner Don Garber.
"We have to be the league of choice for American players," Garber says. "We very specifically and strategically went out and targeted as many players as we could that we knew would be on the roster for 2014 in Brazil. It will continue to be an important part of our strategy."
In the past year, key national team players have signed or re-signed with MLS clubs. The most significant: Clint Dempsey, who transferred to the Seattle Sounders from Tottenham Hotspur in August and Michael Bradley, who moved from Italy's Roma to Toronto FC in a $10 million transfer in January.
Los Angeles Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez signed a designated player contract and Landon Donovan also signed a contract extension with the Galaxy. Sporting Kansas City retained the rights to midfielder Graham Zusi and defender Matt Besler.
WORLD CUP: What Americans will wear
"I think in the past everyone was aiming to go to Europe right away, whenever they could, and now the dynamic has sort of changed," Gonzalez says. "With Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey, there's these type of players who are having great careers in Europe and then all of a sudden coming back to MLS."
When Klinsmann began bringing German-Americans, some who have little connection to the United States, onto the team some grumbled, though the practice is commonplace with other national teams.
"We have to grow our national team out of our league and complement it with players who are based in Europe," says Galaxy coach Bruce Arena, who coached the 2002 and 2006 World Cup teams. "It's good to see it moving in that direction. I think that is ultimately what will develop the sport in our country with the consumer. When they can recognize our players and where they came from, they'll be more supportive of the sport and that's a big plus in terms of marketing.
"When we do it with randomly selecting people from all over that really have no connection, I don't think it hits home with people we want supporting our sport and our national team."
Playing on the world's biggest stage, untouchable to fans, then returning to Columbus or Kansas City, a place where a kid can reach out for an autograph, also helps the growth of the game. "After playing on the World Cup stage, to come back and play in America, kids can really have a hero and someone to look up to. That's the way you can build the sport in this country," Gonzalez says.

Sobeys Inc. is closing six more grocery stores in Manitoba, after being ordered to sell five other locations this past fall.
The company, which owns several grocery retails chains, is closing three stores in Winnipeg, one in Thompson, one in Brandon and another in Steinbach.
About 300 workers will be affected by the closures.
Locations in Winnipeg include the IGA in the Maples, the Garden City Safeway and the Safeway location at Sturgeon Road and Ness Avenue.
Both Brandon and Steinbach will lose a Safeway location as well.
Jeff Traeger, with the United Food and Commercial Workers, said Sobeys told his local union the Thompson Cash and Carry would close July 18.
Traeger said they received written notification of the Maples closure in Winnipeg, but there was no specific date provided.
More details on when the location will close is expected in six to eight weeks, he said.
The company gave no reason for the closures, but Traeger said he was expecting some stores would close after the company merged with Safeway Canada.
"I would say that's extremely unusual that we don't get a reason, and even more unusual, I would say, is that we didn't see a press release or that we didn't see any kind of official conference or the company coming forward," said Traeger.
He said the union's collective agreement allows workers to move to other stores in the province, and he expects other western provinces to see closures soon.
The news comes months after the company was ordered by the Competition Bureau to sell five other Winnipeg locations.
Nationally, the chain was told to sell 23 stores before it could purchase Safeway Canada for $5.8 billion — a move the bureau said was necessary to keep the Canadian grocery market competitive.

What's cooler than listening to some awesome music? Listening to it at a bicycle shop. That's right, like, a place where they sell bicycles.
It's one of Seattle's pretty well known quirky venues: 20/20 Cycles in the Central district. They've put on a lot of rad shows and they've got another one lined up Thursday night. NYMPH, formerly of Dark Meat and the Vomit Lasers is coming in to play while surrounded by two-wheelers. The music is definitely a bit niche. Rhythmic beats that might have you bobbing your head or drive you up the wall. Your best option is to check out this video from one of their live performances in April 2008:
Nymph is joined by Chilean Tiny Light and locals Shana Cleveland.
The show is set for 8 p.m. and costs $8.

World Zombination 3.8 is now available for download on the App Store and the Google Play Store! Here's what you have to look forward to in this update (full release notes can be found on the forums):
Change Unit Perks!
Want to change your strategy or try something new with your higher level Units? Now you can change your Unit's Perks!
Are you ready for the INSANE CAMPAIGN?
You asked for it! More campaign missions! These are INSANELY difficult with even better rewards than Expert missions. Challenge yourself with our toughest content yet.
New Guild Rank: Raid Leader!
We've gotten a lot of feedback about Guild leadership structure and needing a way to give Raid start/stop privileges without inventory distribution privileges. Raid Leaders can start raids but not access the Guild's resources to give guilds more flexibility in their structures.
Bug fixes
- Lowered Insane Quick Fight requirements from Vancouver through Lima.
- Vancouver Insane missions now give out proper rewards.
- Featured Packs give out proper Units in the case of unlucky rolls.
- Minigunner family's Bombard perk lowers cooldown to 1s.
- Brain Freeze family's buff duration increased to 5s.
- Rainmaker family's tentacle HP increased by 500%.
- Mistress family always stuns for 1.5s, the Submission perk stun is now 4s.
- Mistress family's Safe Word perk duration increased to 3s.
Additional pre-release fixes
We did a bunch of backend and server fixes since 3.7 was released. Here are the major things we tackled:
- Substantially reduced server errors (by 96% during peak activity).
- Patched a data loss error that sometimes resulted in Guilds experiencing issues with Raid rewards, inventory distribution, and Unit borrowing.
- Improved Guild reward tracking and logging.
- Various map improvements.
- Improved backend metadata handling.
- Chat sending optimizations.

New Delhi, May 2 (IANS) Actress Zoe Saldana, who is featuring in "Star Trek" sequel, says she was a little overwhelmed after "Avatar" and almost refused the offer to act in "Star Trek Into Darkness".
The actress, who played Neytiri in James Cameron's epic film "Avatar", said: "I was afraid. I think I was just a little beside myself because after the treat and the gift of booking 'Avatar' and being in the middle of shooting, to be able to then do another great movie with another great filmmaker back to back - I was a little overwhelmed."
Saldana, who "loves science fiction", said her mother was a "sci-fi buff" and she has read "Dune" by Frank Herbert three times. The actress also dressed up as Lady Jessica, a character of Dune, for Halloween, when she was 13.
The "Avatar" star also said that she was "captivated by space and space travel" when she was a kid, and thinks that the human race is fascinated with "what might be out there".
"The one thing I've learned since I was a little girl is that it doesn't matter where a story is set - in the future, a period piece or on a boat - if it's a good story and it has rich characters it will not distract you from getting into the story," Saldana said in a statement.
The sequel will feature the same crew of director J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek", and is set to release in India May 10.

Tang Band Shrinks
The full range Tang Band speaker is a high performer. But unfortunately, at three cubic feet, is too big for many installations. By teaming it up with a subwoofer, it can be substantially reduced in size. It has been shrunk down to a 0.75 cubic foot enclosure. This small size still gives it an F3 of 83 Hz, which is still quite good as is.
The enclosure chosen is pre-manufactured (Parts Express) which dramatically simplifies construction. It measures 17 inches tall by 10 inches wide and 12 1/2 inches deep, and has a one inch thick front baffle. The port is 3 inches in diameter and 4 inches long. No stuffing or lining is used in the cabinet. The driver needs all of the available box volume. Small enclosures are very sensitive to cabinet changes. The attenuation circuit of the full rage model is still necessary. While the larger box needed the L-pad set at the 3 o:clock position, the small box version requires more attenuation and the control was set at the 12 o:clock position. This is because the speaker is functioning differently in the smaller enclosure. Set to wherever it sounds best to you.
The L-pad is 16 ohms, at 50 watt. Use the left and center terminals of the L-pad as viewed from the rear. Do not follow the instructions that come with it. The inductor is an air core, 0.5 mH, unit with 18 AWG wire. The speaker is a model Tang Band W8-1772.
The speaker sounds almost like the full size model with the exception that the larger box has a slightly more resonant character to the sound and deeper bass, which is to be expected. The small front panel reduces diffraction effects and makes the speaker sound a bit more open. The grill (Parts Express 296-107) is still necessary to minimizes beaming. It was glued to the speaker frame itself with a bit of silicone . Using pre-made enclosures does add to the cost but tremendously reduces the amount of work. Getting the controls set on the subwoofer is a bit tricky to achieve a seamless transition. You just have to play with the plate amps's crossover and level controls until it sounds right. Shrinking the box down will allow it to be used in many more installations.

Downtown luxury Dec 23, 2012
Having stayed at this hotel numerous times while on business trips, I would say that this is well located in downtown SF. It's just a block away from the Montgomery BART stop which connects you to the other train lines if you go the public transportation route. Otherwise, you can always hail a cab right outside.
Restaurants - Bang opposite is California Pizza Kitchen, there are a variety of coffee shops, an upscale fantastic Indian restuarant called Anber India etc...never run out of options.

A tremendous hotel. As a frequently traveler to San Francisco, I stay in many hotels here. This I believe offers the best mix for both the business and leisure traveler.
The rooms are generous in size with brand new carpet, furniture, and linens. The design of the hotel lets them offer frequent upgraded rooms to SPG Gold and Platinum members. The suites are HUGE, with a sizable living room, a big bedroom, and a generous bathroom.
The location is ideal. Walking distance to the business district, Union Square, and right next to the Moscone Center.
Above all else, the service is great. Very friendly staff who will do what it takes to make your stay pleasant.

Located in the center city, the Art Museum is an ideal destination for those who love culture and art.
The museum founded in 1987 is the place that collect, store and display art objects of Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding areas. Currently, there are more than 21,000 artifacts and precious collections of the artists from the Indochina Art School, Gia Dinh, the works after 1975, the resistance sketches, the statues privacy the Revolution war…
In addition, visitors can also admire the collections of ancient artifacts such as the Southern stone tools, the ancient Saigon pottery, Bien Hoa art pottery, Champa Art, Nam Bo ancient pottery… With this number of the exhibits, the museum becomes a major art center of Vietnam. In particular, there is a building with many windows – 99 windows – in Saigon.
In the past, the museum was the residence of the Chinese bourgeoisie. At first, the house used for housing and working, not for the function of a museum. The building built in the French architectural style of the late nineteenth century – the early twentieth century combines harmoniously with the oriental architecture in the outside decoration, roof tiles, ceramic tiles, and columns decorated with the pottery on roof… In this building, there used to be many valuable objects made from different materials.
The museum is designed in the Baroque style, which is very popular in France. This is one of the houses with the first unique architecture in Saigon. Through the ups and downs of almost one century, this work still retains the characteristics of the architecture. When visiting the museum, the visitors can see the first elevator that was installed in Saigon.
Today, the buildings in the museum are recognized as the art architectural relic with the municipal level. Two of the three floors of the exhibits are fixed, others are used for the short-term exhibitions. The Art Museum has just expanded the area according to the process of the art history of the city and the region, especially the modern ancient artifacts.
Annually, the museum regularly organizes the exhibitions of the units, organizations, and individuals of the nation and the foreign countries. Each year, there is an average of 10 to 25 exhibitions, including lots of the international exhibitions: the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the work of the ASEAN countries, paintings of the artists from Russia, China, US, Italy, Canada, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, … The museum always supports the policy of propagandizing the art of Vietnam to the world; send the items to China, Austria – Belgium, Japan, USA, Singapore…
Visitors often come here on the weekends, the majority coming from the foreign countries. Many student groups, students also choose this museum as the place to refer the artistic classes or take place the extracurricular activities.
The museum opens 9 a.m to 17 p.m, from Tuesday to Sunday. The ticket: 10.000 VND for foreigners and 3.000 VND for the Vietnamese. Address: 97A, Pho Duc Chinh, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City

Lots of subgroups in higher education have a Rodney Dangerfield syndrome. Adjunct instructors tire of being looked down on by (and getting paid much less than) tenured and tenure-track professors. Officials at many community colleges feel they get short shrift (financially and attitudinally) from their four-year college peers. Leaders in for-profit higher education continually feel snubbed by counterparts at nonprofit institutions.
Purveyors of online education programs tend to feel dissed, too. Even as surveys show that enrollments in distance ed programs are growing [1] -- with one in five college students saying they took at least one course online in 2006 -- and all trends pointing to continued growth, advocates for online learning programs say they continue to face obstacles to acceptance, from a variety of sources: state regulators who look askance at their offerings, reporters who ignore them, and a public that isn't quite sure what to make of them.
A group of true believers gathered in a Congressional office building Wednesday under the auspices of the Presidents' Forum of Excelsior College, [2] which is made up of leaders of numerous institutions that operate mostly or exclusively online. In sessions on the great variation in how state regulators assess distance ed programs, how the news media cover online learning, and the group's new effort to prove online institutions' value [3] by making public reams of data about their performance -- including student outcomes at the program-specific level.
A common theme throughout the day was how little some of the issues and hurdles had changed in the more than two decades that colleges and universities have been trying to educate increasing numbers of students who are either place-bound or prefer to learn not in a classroom but at a distance. In the session on state recognition of online programs, David A. Longanecker, executive director of the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education and former U.S. assistant secretary for postsecondary education in the Clinton administration, recalled a 1980s effort known as Project ALLTEL [4] (Assessing Long-Distance Learning through Telecommunications) in which the State Higher Education Executive Officers and other college leaders sought a common framework for judging the quality of distance programs.
"I'm just shocked this is still an issue, because we solved all this two decades ago," Longanecker said with tongue planted firmly in cheek. "We had two basic principles: that we should have reciprocity between the states and trust each other, and that in that reciprocity, we should cede to the highest standard -- whoever was doing the best job in this area, we should follow. We just left the details to be worked out -- I guess we're still working those out."
That's an understatement, providers of online education argued. Virtually every state still has a different set of standards and expectations for what it wants online education programs to prove before they're given the right to operate in that state. And while typically states have required online providers to earn state approval only if they have on-ground operations in that state -- which has required blended entities like the University of Phoenix to go state to state seeking approval through "gigantic bureaucratic, labyrinthine processes" that often involve "public pillorying," said Jorge Klor de Alva, senior vice president for academic excellence there -- the bar may now be rising.
One regionally accredited online education company recently sent a letter to state higher education officials in every state asking if it needed state recognition to offer distance education to residents, with no physical presence in the states. Nineteen states said they would require the company to gain state approval, while 31 said the online provider could operate in the state based on its accreditor's approval.
Officials at several state universities that operate large online programs in other states said they have not sought (and had no intention of seeking) such approval, and that they have not run into any impediments. But that differential treatment troubled Longanecker and others, who argued that policy makers should take another shot -- perhaps through regional compacts like WICHE, or through the regional accrediting agencies -- at trying to get states to agree to a common standard for assessing the quality of online programs. "We should aim for a baseline that all states should agree on, informed by the gold standards of regional and national accreditation," said Klor de Alva.
Skepticism abounded. "David can come out and say it would be good, but it's not going to be solved in our lifetime," said David Clinefelter, provost at Kaplan University. "It didn't work 20 years ago, and it isn't going to work in the next 20 years."
If online educators thought their odds of getting states to agree on what a distance ed program should be were doomed, they seemed heartened by a new Zogby International survey of corporate human resources directors and small company chief executives, which was commissioned by the Presidents' Forum.
The numbers were hardly a ringing endorsement of online education; more business owners disagreed than agreed with the statement that "a degree earned through an online or distance-learning program is as credible as a degree earned through a traditional campus-based program," for instance.
But a solid majority (58 percent) of HR directors -- who described themselves as significantly more familiar with online learning programs -- strongly or somewhat agreed with that statement, and the most upbeat result for those gathered in Washington Wednesday was that 62 percent of those described themselves as "very familiar" or "familiar" with distance ed programs believe that online degrees are as credible as campus-based degrees.
Still, other results from the survey suggested that the barriers for some purveyors of online education may have less to do with how they offer their educations than with the type of institution they are -- a hurdle that may be harder to overcome. Human resources directors and CEOs alike agreed overwhelmingly with the notion that online degrees had more value if they came from institutions that also had campus-based programs than from institutions that were online only. Solid majorities also said that they valued online degrees from "well-known" colleges more than those from lesser known institutions.

Posted on 02/03/2012 3:05:55 PM PST by SmithL
BERKELEY -- A longtime Berkeley tree sitter has been convicted of illegal lodging and pointing a laser at a police officer.
Fifty-five-year-old Matthew Dodt received a 60-day suspended sentence and three years of probation . . .

No weapons charges for the (presumably) knife? Out in la la land? I can't believe it.
As for the laser, I guess future tree sitters should restrict themselves to flashlights. That (and the theoretical possibility of blinding someone who got it directly in the eye) was considered much worse than the tree sitting.
55 years old, get a life old man who pushed you up the tree to begin this sit in or sit on whatever??
55 years old. He was barely born during the hey dey of the People's Park. Just a little kid. Maybe he was born during a sit in in the 60s, or one of their nude demonstrations and he's just reviving some of that old nostalgia.
Does anyone one here remember how People's Park started? The University bought a couple of blocks of land and removed the existing old houses with the intent to build dormitories for the expanding student population and parking lots. Casting about for something to oppose the Board of Regents and Gov. Reagan, the hippies decided to camp out on the University owned land to prevent any construction. Later they planted gardens there.
What has People's Park cost the taxpayers of California? The illegal occupation of state owned land?

text: NACS / Media / NACS Daily Trader Joe's Rules as Consumers' Favorite Grocery Chain According to a new Market Force study, the grocer ranked highest on customer satisfaction and convenience. July 26, 2013 Page Content BOULDER, CO – Trader Joe's is North America's favorite grocery store based on customer satisfaction, according to a new study of 6,600 consumers conducted by Market Force Information. Publix Super Markets and Whole Foods Market rounded out the top three. All three received high marks for courteous staff, inviting atmosphere and high-quality produce. Hy-Vee also scored well on those measures. Market Force's grocery retailer study was designed to uncover where consumers prefer to grocery shop, as well as why they favor one grocer to another. When asked to rate their satisfaction with their most recent grocery store experience and their likelihood to refer that grocer, consumers scored Trader Joe's above all others. Publix, Whole Foods, Wegmans and ALDI also ranked high on the customer delight index, which reveals the intersection between overall satisfaction and the likelihood of recommending a grocer to friends/family. Trader Joe's operates nearly 400 stores and has experienced steady growth in recent years. With a neighborhood-store feel, the national chain is known for its customer-centric operations and a revolving inventory of products that carry the Trader Joe's brand name. Market Force also looked at which grocery stores consumers frequent the most, asking where they had spent the majority of their money in the previous 30 days: Northeast – Stop & Shop (1% of the votes), Giant (6%), Wegmans and Market Basket (5%) South – Kroger (16%), Publix (15%) and H-E-B (5%) Midwest – Kroger (11%), Meijer (9%) and Hy-Vee (8%) West – Safeway (12%, Kroger (9%) and Costco (7%) Canada – Loblaws (15%), Sobeys (11%), Costco and Safeway (7%) Convenient location is the factor that consumers said they like most about their preferred grocery store — in fact, it ranked higher than prices, which was second on the list, while sales and promotions was third. However, these characteristics aren't necessarily helping grocery chains earn more business. When Market Force drilled deeper to see how the grocers fared in these areas, no one brand dominated the votes across these important characteristics, suggesting that they're table-stake attributes that consumers have come to expect from their grocers. It was the operations-focused attributes that seem to make a bigger difference. Although none of the chains dominated in the five attributes that consumers said they like most about their preferred grocer, some did shine in individual areas. Ralph's ranked first in the important convenient location category, ALDI and WinCo were the price leaders, Winn-Dixie scored the top spot for sales and promotions, Meijer was recognized for its merchandise selection, and Walmart and Target were neck and neck for one-stop shopping. "With most consumers satisfied with their grocery-shopping experiences, it makes for a very competitive playing field for grocers looking to distinguish themselves from the masses," said Janet Eden-Harris, chief marketing officer for Market Force. "We start to see the greatest opportunities for differentiation in operations-related attributes such as fast check-outs, gracious staff and atmosphere." Real competitive differentiation begins to emerge when viewing operational excellence attributes. Both Trader Joe's and Publix performed well in this area, with Trader Joe's ranking first for its atmosphere and quick checkout process, and second in the other three categories. Publix was tops among shoppers for its cleanliness and courteous staff, and second to Trader Joe's in atmosphere. Hy-Vee and H-E-B also fared consistently well in key categories. When it comes to consumers' perceptions of high-quality, healthy product selection, Whole Foods dominated across the board. It was tops among shoppers in every category studied — from high-quality meat and produce to organic options and sustainable practices. It had an especially sizeable lead in the produce category. Trader Joe's also scored in the top three of most of the attributes, as did Publix. Although some shoppers are practicing extreme couponing, that doesn't seem to be a common trend. In fact, the research findings suggest a steady decline in coupon use over the past three years. Of those who are redeeming coupons, most are clipping them from a newspaper, magazine or other print media. The second most popular source for coupons is the grocery store. The survey was conducted in May 2013 across the United States and Canada. The pool of 6,645 respondents reflected a broad spectrum of income levels, with 60% reporting household incomes of more than $50,000 a year. Respondents' ages ranged from 19 to over 65. Approximately 73% were women and 27% were men, and half have children at home.

Health Blog Video: Is it True Giving is Good For Your Health?
'Tis the season to give. But can generous acts benefit your health?
That's the question we're tackling in the Health Blog's latest installment of the "Is It True" video series.
A general spirit of generosity has been shown to be good for mental and physical well-being, an expert tells the WSJ's Christina Tsuei. For example, research has shown that spending a bonus on someone else rather than oneself leads to greater happiness.
Watch the video below and tell us what you think in the comments section. And look here, here, here and here for our previous videos, on whether Thanksgiving dinner will make you tired, smiling and mood, the freshman 15 and melatonin's effects on sleep.

Different carpet materials require different carpet cleaning and care methods. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) advises carpet owners to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly use, maintain, and care for your carpet. If you're not sure how to go about a particular carpet issue, do not hesitate to call their customer care center or a carpet cleaning professional.
Carpet material is roughly divided into two types, synthetic and natural. Each group has its own specific cleaning requirements, which can be further specialized depending on the actual materials involved. Among the two, synthetic carpet is the most common choice.
Synthetic carpet is the most widely used type of floor covering nowadays. Home owners and building managers find carpet made of nylon, polyester and olefin more practical as they require relatively low maintenance procedures compared to carpet made of natural materials. This type of carpet can also last longer with the proper care, as the materials are specially designed to tolerate heavy-duty use and high traffic.
Olefin carpet is mostly used for busy homes, offices, commercial venues, and business centers. Its durability provides cost-saving benefits and its relatively stain-resistant material makes it easy to maintain. The only downside in cleaning is that greasy, or oil-based stains in polyproplene carpet can be very challenging to remove.
There is not one correct method of cleaning that is appropriate across all types of synthetic carpet, but basic care practices can still be applied.
Everyday vacuuming is still the most widely given advice to make synthetic carpet look new longer and last longer. Proper and regular vacuuming collects and removes contaminants from the carpet fibers, making the carpet hygienic and also the air quality inside the room cleaner. It's recommended to use the vacuum units with a built-in high filtration bag, so as to prevent the accumulated particles from circulating again into the room and air.
Stain-resistant cleaning agents are usually recommended for synthetic carpet cleaning. The ratio of diluted formula, dosage, and the application method will vary according to the manufacturer's instruction, so read the carpet and cleaning product labels carefully to be sure.
The CRI strongly advises not to use the following agents for synthetic carpet cleaning: laundry detergent, automatic dishwashing detergent, soap and cleaning formulas intended for other household materials such as wood, furniture or metal.
Follow the instructions. It's really that simple. Put in the time and just like with anything else in life, you get out what you put in. Take the time to properly care for your carpet and it will reward you for years and years.

. . .uh, literally!
A local business owner bought my luggage shelves from the antique mall and then contacted me about creating some more for her–
but she wanted to buy WHOLESALE.
Thanks lady. Apparently I am to build everything for charity now, huh-?
I decided to visit her store to talk face to face about why I can't, but she caught me off guard with the proposition of at least making two more from a pair of suitcases she already had—hmmm. . .
I charge $30 an hour for general things, but again, she caught me off guard and I forgot to include materials (dang it) !
And here's the problem. . . .
The suitcases were fake leather and did nOt cut well. In fact, the material kept "shredding" and I could never get a clean edge–even after numerous (failed) fixes. So with THaT consuming problem, fitting interior cripples, cutting a to-fit backboard, gluing it up and permanently closed, all the finish details and the ribbon I ultimately ended up buying to cover the rough cuts/edges, I ended up with almost 2½ hrs into each case. AND materials!
Certainly NOT worth $30 each. A charity job.
~Ordinarily, this whole job would take me a smidge over an hour, plus materials. But apparently I pick better quality suitcases!
She didn't seem to feel any "INEQUITY" in this and actually HAD ANOTHER SUITCASE FOR ME TO DO-!
Do I have an "S" on my forehead-?
Now the other part of this story is that my sense of pride in craftsmanship would nEVer let me send something mediocre, less-than, half-done on its way. There's NO WAY I could ever do just the basics and make her finish the job– "trim" for the bad edges or clean them–and they were disgusting…
which=MORE of MY TIME, but that's me.
Here are the trouble-makers, ready for delivery.
The End.
N o t q u i t e, come back tomorrow for an "alternative" ending! ; D
