Answers :
You need to go into the BIOS set up, usually F1 at boot up but may be F7 or even F10, in the bios go to BOOT SEQUENCE, set the boot to CD drive as FIRST boot device, "2nd too if it will let you, then 3rd Hardrive. As long as your CD/DVD drive is the first device it should then boot from the disk and reinstall. Save to the COSMOS by hightlightiong YES to SAVE CHANGES and quit. Get your version of Vista or XP in the CD/DVD drive and then restart. It should now boot from the disk, have your KEY product code handy as you will be asked for this. Your product KEY is printed on the small metalic badge on the side of your PC. Good Luck the Yeti
This more often then not a memory problem. Chances are some kind of virus or malware has damaged your memory not allowing it to dump the temp files. You will need to replace one or both of the sticks. The other problem may be a faulty hard drive with a partition error.

(Thomson Reuters ONE via COMTEX) -- LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 10, 2013 -- Armstrong World Industries has selected its Lancaster, Pa., facility for a $41 million investment in the manufacture of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) announced in July. This decision reflects the cooperation and support of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Lancaster plant employees. This marks the company's second investment in the Lancaster operation since 2008, when it added fiberglass-backed sheet vinyl manufacturing to that plant's production portfolio, and demonstrates its confidence the plant will continue to be competitive on cost and quality.
Armstrong Flooring CEO Frank Ready said, "We thank the commonwealth and our employees for their support of this investment. By bringing this manufacturing to the U.S., we leverage our manufacturing expertise and create a strong cost, quality and service position for a very exciting product category."
The LVT market is experiencing double-digit growth in North America, largely because of product performance, appearance and ease-of-installation. By on-shoring LVT manufacturing from China, Armstrong expects to realize a more competitive cost structure with shorter lead times and improved customer service.
Construction is scheduled to start the first quarter of 2014, with projected completion in early 2015. The company expects to add 57 employees to the plant, starting in early 2015, as a result of this investment.
"We have a workforce in Pennsylvania that is committed to excellence and hard work," said Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett. "The addition of 57 new jobs at this site in Lancaster County continues the progress towards our goal of making Pennsylvania a national model for job creation and innovation."
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. is a global leader in the design and manufacture of floors and ceilings. In 2012, Armstrong's consolidated net sales from continuing operations totaled approximately $2.6 billion. Based in Lancaster, Pa., Armstrong operates 34 plants in eight countries and has approximately 8,800 employees worldwide. For more information, visit http://www.armstrong.com/.

Microsoft Most Valuable Professional
According to Microsoft, the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award is given to "technology experts who passionately share their knowledge with the community."[1] The awarded are people who "actively share their ... technical expertise with the different technology communities related directly or indirectly to Microsoft". An MVP is awarded for contributions over the previous year.[2]
The MVP program grew out of the software developer community, as the initial MVPs were some of the most active on the online peer support communities such as Usenet and CompuServe. It has since grown to include other types of products, and other avenues of contribution. Steve Ballmer spoke to a group of Microsoft MVPs about Windows XP and Windows Vista.[3][4]
A posting from Tamar Granor on the Universal Thread web site gives this account of the origin of the MVP program.
|Way back in the dark ages, Microsoft provided a great deal of technical support on CompuServe. The CompuServe FoxPro forum was extremely busy and Calvin Hsia, then an independent developer, now Developer Lead on the Fox team, created what we called "Calvin's List." It was a listing of the number of postings by person, including info on both messages sent and received. Being in the top 10 on Calvin's List any month was an accomplishment, though we discussed whether it was a good thing or a bad thing."
As the story goes, some of the Microsoft people jumped on Calvin's List as a way to identify high contributors, and thus was born the MVP program.[5]
Cancellation and reinstatement[edit]
On October 22, 1999, a Microsoft executive sent out a message announcing the cancellation of the MVP program. This may have been in response to a recent suit against AOL by its newsgroup leaders, who felt that they deserved to be paid for the time they put in online. After an outpouring of online support, including many emails sent directly to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Microsoft announced three days later that the cancellation had been rescinded.[6][7]
Locating an MVP[edit]
With the introduction of a site dedicated to MVPs, it is now easier to locate an MVP from a specific country and from a specific area of expertise. The need to contact an MVP can be user specific. The most common purpose is for students enrolled in Microsoft Student Partnership (MSP) programs. The 2011 update to the program now allows MSP students to contact MVPs directly for training purposes. This is subject to the availability and acceptance of the MVP whom the MSP student contacts. Among other purposes, the MVP might be contacted to get assistance with local and assembled devices running Microsoft products. Anyone can use the Advanced Search on the Microsoft MVP website to locate MVP awardees by location and/or by expertise.
Microsoft Community (also called Microsoft Answers) is an extension of the Microsoft website that engages in connecting users with experts of different types – including Microsoft MVPs. Users can send a personal message or contact an MVP on a forum as per the availability of the MVP. The concept of Microsoft Community is to provide unofficial support to its users and is something like Windows Live QnA. The forum site deals with almost all products and hence users can expect MVPs from almost all areas of expertise there.
Windows Community is a Microsoft featured community that deals primarily with assistance and information on Microsoft Windows Operating System and related applications plus news. People can find an MVP from different areas and expertise on the Authors page of the Windows Community. The site, however, lacks a list of MVP awardees that can make it easier for people to locate area and location specific Microsoft experts.
Separate from Microsoft's MVP program, a few current and previous MVPs maintain the MVPS.org web site and mail hosting service. This site is for the use of any individual granted MVP status by Microsoft, and provides a platform for continuing their MVP work through technical sites in a variety of Microsoft applications and technologies. MVPS.org is in no way associated with, funded by or governed by Microsoft. The listing of MVP web sites, the hosting of those sites, and MVPS.org email addresses are provided to MVPs strictly upon request by MVPs to the MVPs.org admins after their profile has been published by the Microsoft MVP program. The names on MVPS.org represents only a small subsection of MVP awardees since 1995, and is not intended to be a definitive listing of current and past award recipients. Same is true for a non-Microsoft MVP blogs site [8] which is a collection of MVP blogs but not from bloggers Microsoft had granted an official "blogger" status on Microsoft own blog site.[9]

MAJOR plans for thousands of homes on farmland in North Bersted have been withdrawn.
The Church Commissioners have said they no longer want to proceed with the proposals for north of Chalcraft Lane.
They announced the move in a single sentence with no explanation to Arun District Council which held the planning application for the scheme on file.
The scheme, dubbed the Bognor Regis Eco Quarter, involved 2,500 homes for 6,000 residents and nearly 47,000sq m of space for 1,556 jobs. Sites were also included for shops, a school and health facilities.
News of its sudden abandonment was given to Bersted Parish Council by its deputy clerk, Sue O'Connell, at Tuesday's meeting.
Council chairman Cllr Brian Knight said: "The fact that this has been withdrawn is the best news we have had for a long time. This scheme has been on the cards for years."
Fears about the new housing arose in 2007. The Church Commissioners unveiled their plans a year later. This led to protests by residents.
They were angry the development would mean the loss of the area's last view of the South Downs and cause traffic queues.
The proposals were never decided by Arun District Council.The Church Commissioners could have appealed to the government for approval but they have walked away after Arun recently protected the land in its latest local plan and allocated a site in Eastergate for large scale housing.

first team / ASSE - OL D-1
May history repeat itself!
Published on the 26 January 2008 à 14:00 by R.B
Derby… derby… derby… such a special moment in the course of any season. OL is planning to stay master of the local rivalry as well as maintain Bordeaux at arm's distance in the championship…
The derby? It's still a derby, even if modern football has taken some of the charm. The constant switching of clubs undertaken by professional footballers means true blue locals are sometimes hard to find. Only four players in the Saint-Etienne squad are products of the club's youth system. There are 7 Lyonnais including youngsters Paillot, Beynié, Mounier and Rémy who are not regular starters.
Les Verts are still formidable opponents on home soil. Seven wins from ten home matches this season and a ferocious defence which has conceded just two goals at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. The Greek Talvaridis and the Brazilian Nivaldo are reputed for their generous defending… In fact Tavlaridis has the most number of yellow cards in the league, along with Nice's Cyril Rool. Gomis is also in form in front of goal. Perrin is a young captain that leads by example. Then there's the desire of Dernis, Landrin, Varrault, the engine of Matuidi, and the skill of Ilan. Feindouno and Sall are absent at the African Cup of Nations. Laurent Roussey seems under pressure in recent weeks. Roussey once scored the winning penalty for his beloved Verts one January in the Le Chaudron and will be know how to motivate his squad.
[IMG32762#R]OL bounced back against Lorient – the sign of a club used to playing under pressure and needing to produce. They were without Juninho and Govou, although Sidney will be back in the squad come Sunday. He has also scored a winning derby goal in stoppage time. There will be no new faces before Sunday's game as Boumsong's signature is delayed again… OL's local victory will be just as important on a national level. The duo Benzema-Ben Arfa will be expected to keep on delivering the goals. Neither has yet opened their account in the Cauldron – Hatem has not played there yet. Greg can show him around… The return of Govou should see Delgado and Fred start the match on the bench.
There are still a few hours left for both camps to dream of victory… before reality takes over on the pitch… The perfect scenario for OL? That the date April 6, 1994 remains the last time Les Verts were kings of the Rhone!

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of people in Milton Keynes seeking help for debt problems, according to new figures from a national charity.
Last year, 1,226 Milton Keynes residents contacted the StepChange debt charity helpline, up from 937 in 2012 – an increase of 31 per cent.
The figures show people contacting the charity from Milton Keynes are, on average, £16 short of covering their essential household bills each month.
Last year, people from Milton Keynes who contacted the charity's helpline owed an average of £13,898 in unsecured debt. That compares to a national average of £13,423.
The debts concerned cover everything from credit cards to utility bills, but the biggest increase has come from 'payday loan' arrears.
StepChange says 22 per cent of its clients had payday loans in 2013, up from just two per cent in 2009.
Mike O'Connor, chief executive of StepChange, said: "Debt can have a devastating effect on people's lives in the form of mental health issues and family breakdown.
"We need people to take early action to prevent some of the worst effects and get back on their financial feet much sooner."

Sarah Lewis
Just a "small town girl" from Washington DC, I moved to NYC five years ago with big hopes and dreams to make a difference in the world.
I have many passions. Theatre. Music. Nature. World History. I've been lucky enough to have all of that in my life here in this fantastic city.
Theatres all over are closing because they are losing much needed financial support. Go see a show. See it again and take a friend or a person off the street. Live theatre really is a magical thing to be a part of. Give an actor or a techie a PB&J sandwhich, or a package of Ramen. Trust me... those go a long way during 12+ hour rehearsals.
Currently I work for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum which is the most humbing organization to be a part of. Since our opening day on September 11 we have seen over 5million visitors from all over the world! Getting to touch the lives of so many people in such a special place still gives me a warm feeling in my heart. I encourage anyone who has not done so to come see our beautiful memorial.
I selected rock because even though rock is strong it is effected by the elements around it. Eventually over time the rough edges are smoothed down, and it becomes polished and beautiful.

Some 1,500 parishioners from the Diocese of Stockton joined the tens of thousands who participated in the recent West Coast Walk for Life in San Francisco.
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Manteca was represented by more than 50 parishioners. Some of them drove to Pleasanton where they rode the BART to San Francisco. Others, like Odile Draa, St. Anthony's Respect Life representative, drove by caravan to the City by the Bay.
"We saw upwards of 50,000 walkers peacefully carrying signs to defend life from conception to natural death," Draa said.
The walkers from the Stockton Diocese included parishioners from St. Patrick Church in Ripon led by Father Peter Carota, church pastor, and Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Lathrop.
St. Anthony parishioner Jim Thompson, who has been attending the annual walk every year for the last eight years, said this year's group of walkers was the largest he has ever seen.
After the walk, held on Saturday, Jan. 21, starting at the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco, the parishioners from the Stockton Diocese and other parishes gathered at St. Mary's Cathedral for a concelebrated Mass with 12 bishops, including Bishop Stephen Blaire, presiding.
The service culminated the day's events which started with speeches by people from various denominations and groups at the Civic Center Plaza. The group then walked to the Justin Herman Plaza.

Smoke detectors - Legal requirements
Do I need to install a smoke detector?
Owners of existing homes are required to have installed either:
- A battery-operated smoke alarm; or
- Alarms connected to the mains supply (240 volt with a battery back-up).
Home buyers have 6 months from the date of transfer of the property title to install either:
- A mains hard-wired alarm (with battery back-up); or
- A 10 year, permanently connected, non-removeable, non-replaceable lithium battery-powered alarm
Where should I install my smoke detector?
When deciding on the position of smoke alarms it is important to remember that they are intended to detect smoke before it reaches the sleeping occupants of a building. Depending on the layout of your home, it may be necessary to have more than one smoke alarm to provide sufficient warning.
Ideally detectors should be located centrally in a passage between the living areas and the bedrooms. Please note that the location of each detector is important to ensure correct operation.
For further enquiries, contact Council's Development Assessment Unit or refer to the SA Planning brochure, "Smoke alarms save lives". A copy of the brochure can also be posted upon request.
Maintenance of smoke alarms
For smoke alarms to continue to be effective it is important that they be adequately maintained by regular testing according to the manufactures instructions. Batteries should be changed once a year or if a 'battery low' warning 'beep' is emitted. Ensure that the appropriate battery is used for the smoke alarm you have installed. (Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.) An ideal time to change your battery is when you change your clocks back at the end of daylight saving.
At least every six months, remove dust, lint or cobwebs from the outside of the alarm using the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner or a soft bristle brush. Any other cleaning should be done in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Test the alarm after cleaning.
Life Expectancy
Smoke alarms have a recommended service life of 10 years under normal operating conditions (AS 3786) after which time South Australia's fire services strongly recommend they should be replaced with a hard wired (240v) photo-electric smoke alarm.
Disposal of smoke detectors
Old smoke detectors may be disposed of by placing in the general rubbish bin. No more than two detectors should be placed in any bin load of rubbish.

Professional rider Keith Lyman has made Axis Wake Research his wake boat manufacturer of choice.
Loudon, TN – Wakeboarder Keith Lyman is going big behind an A22 as the newest member of the Axis Wake Research Pro Factory Team. Known for his unique riding style, his dedication to the sport and clean living, Lyman joins, Randall "The Vandall" Harris representing the industry's fastest growing wakeboard boat brand. The Axis Wake Team now fuses the highest-flying, strongest style riders of the East and West coasts into a team of professional athletes who are all about the ride and perfecting their craft. Lyman is a free riding legend and, like Harris, the embodiment of Axis Wake Research. The company is stoked to have him on board.This is what Lyman had to say about the logic behind that choice. "I believe in the company, everything from the way their boats are built to their moral stance within our industry." Lyman went on to say, "I'm stoked to see that Adam McCall [Managing Director for Axis] is an actual wakeboarder! He gets it! He is extremely switched on and has an understanding for keeping things simple! A quality that a lot of individuals and companies are seeming to stray from these days."Lyman believes the most important thing in life is, "staying positive and happy." This guy may go huge behind his A22, but he is extremely grounded. Lyman prides himself on clean living and looks up to other riders who do the same.Lyman's list of respected, stylish, freeride mentors includes the "Who's Who" of wakeboarding, with Ben Greenwood and Shaun Murray ranking right up there, but when we asked Lyman who has been most influential, he didn't even blink before he answered, "Randall Harris."A motivating factor in Lyman's decision to ride for Axis, his admiration of Team Axis Pro Rider Harris goes beyond wakeboarding. When we asked Lyman why he looks up to Vandall he responded, "Because he came from corruption to the light, as well as being unappreciated and black-balled back in the day to becoming one of the most respected and appreciated riders when he came back after taking a break for two plus years. He is the baddest rider on planet earth. He is wakeboarding."When Lyman had the opportunity to get behind the price-point wake boat rooted in style and performance, he was amped! Lyman said this after sessioning behind an Axis A22 for the first time, "…all I can say is WOW! It was awesome! It definitely opened my eyes and I can't wait to get one of my own!" He continued, "The wake is all around world class! It's the way a wake should be! It's huge, really clean, a good width and a perfect shape; great for ridin' big or for just poppy wake to wake riding."Adam McCall, Managing Director of Axis Wake Research, had this to say about the newest member of the Axis Team. "The synergy with Lyman and Axis is clear. He's a simple guy who rides because he loves it, takes every trick into the flats and has a style all his own. His riding's only rivaled by his positive attitude and work ethic." McCall concluded, "He is an exciting addition to our team!"About Axis Wake ResearchAxis Wake Research manufactures high performance, price point wakeboard boats with new levels of quality, performance, style and owner pride. Axis performance and customer satisfaction is unmatched in the price-point market thanks to aggressive grassroots research and development. These efforts revolve around the specific needs and wants of core riders and families alike. Or as the team at Axis Wake Research likes to say and the Axis name implies "We're centered on you."

The night that will last forever for Manziel
Updated 8:37 pm, Sunday, December 9, 2012
He'd already mentioned Kerrville Tivy twice. He'd already given a nod to Mike Sherman, praised his offensive line, linked Doug Flutie to his childhood dreams and bowed to the 12th Man.
Johnny Manziel had generally said everything he should have said, then he took that further. He was asked how he will handle winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy, and Manziel had an answer that could save him.
After all, the Heisman could become both his greatest accomplishment and his heaviest burden.
Manziel showed the kind of poise in New York he showed in the SEC. Now everyone knows: Kevin Sumlin didn't shield his quarterback this season because he was unable to speak in public.

Nothing distracted him, not even Manti Te'o and his shrub-sized lei. Chris Fowler, the ESPN announcer, was so impressed, he added another question.
"Are you sure you're still a freshman?"
That's been the hook. Manziel is the kid, the only freshman to win, when the title isn't as dramatic as it sounds. Tim Tebow, for example, was only a few months older when he won his Heisman.
Tebow didn't redshirt, and he also didn't start at quarterback; he threw only 33 passes his freshman season. After he won the Heisman his sophomore season, he returned for his junior and senior seasons. Then, he stood up well to the scrutiny and temptations.
But Tebow is something else entirely. Manziel is human. He's lived the way he plays, and it's something his father has tried to temper. Sometimes, he's rewarded his son with cars, and sometimes he's taken them back when he's strayed.
When John Paul Manziel talked to the New York Times last month about his son's path toward maturity, he added this: "Johnny's not there yet."
That's no sin. But all of this came before Manziel turned into a football legend. Now he's entered another world, where Heisman winners are celebrated and targeted.

It's already happening, with reports A&M will put up a billboard in Times Square while buying space in national newspapers. The school has something to sell, and a lot of time to sell it.
Manziel isn't going anywhere. He's the next Flutie in both his magic and how pro scouts will see him. Unless he proves to have Drew Brees' accuracy, Manziel's size will stop him from being an NFL favorite.
So Manziel will likely be at A&M for another three years. And while he should get better — and get in line for another Heisman — that's also a lot of time trying to live up to expectations.
Especially in the SEC. This season, after all, proved that two conference losses can make for a spectacular season.
Then there's Manziel. By his nature, he's not unlike a quarterback he grew up idolizing — Brett Favre. There will be highlight-film moments, and there will also be days when a scramble turns into something else.
Don't be surprised by this eventual headline: Johnny (loses) Football.
Ty Detmer recently told the Express-News the Heisman changed his life for the better. But it was also clear as he talked about "all the negative things" that not even a 14-year NFL career erased the Heisman bumps.
"You're under a microscope, not just on the field," Detmer said, "but off the field as well."
Manziel acted Saturday as if he had the future under control, too. He said he will follow what Sumlin tells the players after games, that they have 24 hours to celebrate and then move on.
It's a good plan. But Manziel will be tested on this, because Saturday night will last forever for him. And someday, when he's disappointed or beaten down, when he wishes he could just play as he did this season without the Heisman hanging around his neck, Manziel should remember the outlook he had on Dec. 8, 2012.
When he said all the right things.

Council, public ask questions of Industrial Foundation
Published 3:55 pm, Tuesday, December 10, 2013
Tuesday night's Plainview City Council meeting could easily be described as a referendum of the Plainview/Hale County Industrial Foundation.
Executive Director Kevin Carter brought the foundation's annual report to the council as the first item of their regular agenda. In introducing Carter, Industrial Foundation President John Bertsch told the council "If you have any hard questions, ask him. He will have the answers."
The council took him at his word.
Carter's presentation included what was working well for the foundation. He mentioned their website's catalog of available property searchable by size, location and acreage. He also touted a proposed business park, meetings he has had with possible business opportunities, the recent upgrades by Andalucia Nuts and Walmart Distribution Center as well as wind energy plans in the county and around the city.
Carter thanked the council for the earmarked $.01 of the recently-enacted tax increase, telling the 6 council members and mayor the money "is going a long way to market our city."
He added that with the increase in funding he would like to make more than an annual report to the council. "We have a responsibility to report to you more frequently," Carter said, adding that maybe a quarterly report would be needed.
Mayor Wendell Dunlap thanked Carter and said that could be discussed but had him hold off as the floor was open to public comment. Local business owner Teresa King was the lone public comment, asking of Carter and the foundation specifics on acreage of the business park, the costs per acre, the access to rail service the proposed park would have and if the $1 million in economic funding the city has budgeted would be included in either the purchase of land or development of infrastructure.
King also inquired about what industries were currently interested in the city.
City Attorney Leslie Pearce spoke to many of the questions, stating the city and county, the two government agencies who oversee the Industrial Foundation, had not come to any specific agreement yet. "It will be very quickly, but as a plan it is not all together," Pearce told the council chambers. "We will present a package to both the city and county.
Mayor Dunlap also worked to address the questions. "Most of these, the information is being looked at. It would be difficult to give specific answers at this meeting," Dunlap said, adding much of the details were still being worked out with the input of Pearce and Hale County Attorney Jim Tirey.
Before the council could debate the report a motion had to be offered, which was offered by Councilman Charles Starnes, with Councilman V.O. Ortega seconding.
Councilman Lionel Garcia started the questioning, asking when the public would have any "say-so" on the process. "If we wait until a contract is brought, that eliminates input from our citizens."
Pearce answered, "We have to have a plan to bring to you. We'll bring it to you and to the county and will have public comment on it."
"It doesn't make sense to me," Garcia said. "We'll either vote it up or down."
Mayor Dunlap responded, saying the council could modify any proposal. "I've been here a year and a half and we haven't modified anything," Garcia retorted.
City Manager Greg Ingham stood to address the concerns, saying they would bring the framework of any plan that needed to be put in place to the council when it was time. "That's not what we are doing tonight," Ingham told Garcia. "That will be in the next few weeks."
Dunlap joined in, "And then it will be what we would like to do, and the industrial foundation boar will have tremendous input."
Garcia was not swayed. "Sooner or later we have to go to the taxpayers... We need to give them an option to give input."
"We don't want to rush something in here," Ingham said. "We know there is going to be questions and discussion."
"We can't answer this, we can't answer that. It's like you're trying to keep information from us," Garcia protested.
The mayor was quick to end the ongoing debate, stating the other council members needed the opportunity to ask questions.
Councilman Starnes was the first to direct specific ones to Carter, asking "How are we communicating Plainview?" pointing out the current industrial foundation website lists ADM Milling as a local industry. Carter said the updated site wasn't ready to go live to the public yet, and that the old site obviously needed to be updated, adding he would be going to training on how to edit and add information to the website next week. "It has a good framework," Starnes conceded, "It's really a work in progress."
Starnes continued his questioning, asking what incentives the industrial foundation could offer.
Carter mentioned the tax abatements available from both the city and county, as well as a revolving loan from the Texas Department of Agriculture. He mentioned the foundation had applied for a $100,000 matching grant through the USDA, saying they were hoping for a response in the first of the year. Starnes then mentioned to the council and mayor that the tax abatement was a strong incentive, "But we've not heard that discussed in the city."
Carter bluntly told the council "That's why we're behind the 8-ball, we don't have an incentive fund."
Councilman Eric Hastey asked Carter if there were any specific industries that the foundation has targeted. "Wind energy and gas exploration," Carter said, stating he had discussions with Abernathy City Manager Mike Sypert about Four Sevens gas exploration. "Most of our progress is in the energy sector and small manufacturing," Carter said, adding that many small manufacturers from California were eagerly looking to relocate based on tax rates in that state.
Carter also mentioned the continued discussions of utilizing rail, stating there was interest in bringing in wind energy equipment by rail.
With no further questions the report was approved. The council also approved the purchase of new police vehicles, an additional $2,000 in funding for the Hale County Airport master plan, the review of the city investment policy and first readings on Xcel service fees and a new permit for Mr. D's Amusements, an 8-liner arcade that recently moved into the old Fast Cutters/Family Fun building.
The next City Council meeting will be held Thursday, December 19 at the Plainview Convention Center at 11:30 a.m.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Big TT, Mar 14, 2012.
I have never followed anything entertainment related so closely
Kind of disappointed in myself lol
Same here. My wife is loading her arsenal for next time I make fun of her "Glee-mania".
Their (Broncos) fans are retarded. I was reading one of them post about how they have never heard of Britt or Washington and claimed that the Broncos have far superior receivers. Wtf. Idiots.
Never stop making fun of Glee and people who watch it.
Hate to break it to you, but 9 out of 10 "NFL fans" have no clue about anything outside their team.
Also, Denver is high in the mountains, the lack of oxygen is really taking it's tole on those people.
I know I've followed sites the last couple of days that I may never have even visited. also, my Twitter level of interest has elevated substantially
the longer this thing drags out the less confident I feel he'll choose Tennessee...
twitter is where you will first find out about the peyton news...and then here within 5 seconds
Manning probably doesn't want to make an emotional decision so he'll sleep on it. I hope he comes out and says something today tho.
It's happening!!!!!! Manning has agreed to join the Titans. Contract details being completed. Press conference tomorrow.
And I can't give you the source because it was a txt from a person on the inside that I grew up with and you know too much already.
I'll be back after the Press Con tomorrow to review your faithless replies no doubt brought on by low self esteem and jealousy.
Just wow! Still hard to take in..... Bud really stepped up, knows his days are numbered I guess.
On to basketball...

Having problems with your Hoover F7431-900 SteamVac Vacuum ?
Brushes are not spinning we think it is a belt problem
Answers :
It may very well be that a belt is broken that runs the brushes.\015\012However, the question is, what caused it to break?\015\012Most likely your brush needs to be removed and cleaned. Clean all debris that might be in the bristles of the brush. You will see a holder for the brush on each end that holds it into the frame of the vacuum. The two holders should turn freely. If they do not, spray a bit of WD40 between the brush and the holders and rotate the holders around the brush. Doing this will clear up the most common occurring cause of the problem you are facing. \015\012
\015\012Once the brush is cleaned, replace the belt that drives it and reassemble the unit.
Good luck and feel free to contact me if you find this does not solve your problem.

Check the inlet down by the brush roll, make sure it is open, if it is then the hose itself must have a clog.

Brominated vegetable oil, also known as BVO, contains bromine which is used as a flame retardant in plastics, upholstered furniture, and some clothing for children and is not approved for use in foods in Japan and the European Union.
Coca-Cola uses the chemical in Fanta, Fresca and some citrus flavored fountain drinks.
Related: General Mills: Original Cheerios are GMO free
The move to remove BVO from drinks originated in aChange.org petition started by Mississippi teenager Sarah Kavanagh in 2012.
Kavanagh petitioned Pepsico (PEP, Fortune 500) to remove BVO from her favorite drink Gatorade. The company relented after the petition garnered momentum and 200,000 people signed it. Pepsi still uses the chemical in Mountain Dew and other products. A spokeswoman said the company is working to remove it from the rest of its products.
Kavanagh added Powerade to the petition, which received 59,000 signatures. Coca-Cola dropped BVO from Powerade's fruit punch and strawberry lemonade flavored drinks in "the last month or two," according to a spokesman.
According to the Mayo Clinic's website, BVO has been linked to memory loss and skin and nerve problems when consumed in large amounts.
BVO is used by beverage makers to help stabilize ingredients in flavored drinks and prevent them from separating.
The soft drink giant said it will transition to other ingredients that are found in other beverages and also chewing gum.
Coke reiterated that its drinks are safe, saying "All of our beverages, including those with BVO, are safe and always have been — and comply with all regulations in the countries where they are sold. The safety and quality of our products is our highest priority."

'Donal's Day' will fit right in
THE final day of the 2013 Rose of Tralee Festival is to be dedicated to the inspirational young anti-suicide and cancer awareness campaigner Donal Walsh, whose death earlier this year moved the entire nation.
The festival has teamed up with the Donal's parents, Fionbarr and Elma, and the #Livelife Foundation set up in his name, to organise 'Donal's Day' which will take place on Tuesday, August 20, the day the 2013 Rose of Tralee will be crowned.
On Donal's Day a special street collection will be held in Tralee to raise money for the charities and causes that were special to the young Blennerville native.
"This boy was a native of Tralee, played sports with Tralee clubs, went to The Green School and is one of our own," said Rose of Tralee general manager Oliver Hurley.
"His words of wisdom, from one so young, are likened to the other literary masters of north Kerry and we must not forget how he touched the lives of so many people towards the end of his own short life.
"Donal's Day is our way of keeping his positive messages alive as well as offering funding assistance to teenagers who are suffering from serious illnesses." said Mr Hurley.
Donal Walsh fundraised tirelessly during his four-year battle against cancer and the #Livelife Foundation has been set up to help to achieve his goal of providing age appropriate facilities for teenagers in hospitals and hospice centres, as well as promoting his anti-suicide message.
Kare 4 Kids and the Palliative Care Unit at Kerry General Hospital are two of the selected charities to benefit from Donal's Day and the #Livelife Foundation.
Oliver Hurley has encouraged anyone planning to visit Tralee on Tuesday August 20 to give what they can to support Donal's Day.
Crowds will be in Tralee to attend the festival food and craft market from early morning and later events such as the Spin Southwest Sunset Gig, concerts by Hermitage Green and the Midnight Madness event which will bring the 2103 festival to a close. Collectors will be on hand from 9am until the end of the night's entertainment.

TO: Joint Procedure Committee
FROM: Gerhard Raedeke
RE: Rule 30, N.D.R.Civ.P.; Signing of Depositions
The Committee has a request to extend the time for signing a deposition from 10 days in Rule 30, N.D.R.Civ.P., to 30 days as allowed by Rule 30, Fed.R.Civ.P.
As originally adopted, neither the federal rule nor the North Dakota rule contained a time limit. In 1970, the federal rule was amended to provide a 30 day time limit for signing a deposition. Subsequently, North Dakota's rule was amended to provide a 10 day time limit.
Should more time be allowed than 10 days for signing a deposition?

Join the fight! Save our landmark!
Needing a keeper
It's a bad idea for me to be away from home without a keeper. I am the first to say it.
There is no way to explain the trouble a mild mannered person like me can get into without that little voice, that scowl of disapproval, there to keep you on the straight and narrow. And if the lady in yesterday's article was a poster child for a happy marriage, I am the poster child for bad behavior.
Today, my head feels like it's going to bus open. My stomach is churning and even my hair aches. Every single on of them.
I am a bad man.
Why do we do these things to ourselves? Explain that to me. Please explain that to me!
How is it that a supposedly intelligent and versatile man does not know when to go home and go to bed like a good little boy? Why is it that he sits at the bar and talks about1 things that have no impact on anything that matters whatsoever? Tell me. Tell me why.
I have always operated on a theory that a greater Force is guiding us. When there is a disturbance in that Force, then things go out of kilter and these things happen. The problem is that most people are not in tune with the Force. Only certain people feel and respond to it and because of that, these things happen. And when they do, that is when you are in the condition that I am as I attempt to pass on my few and measly words of wisdom.
On a much larger scale, I see that the McKean County Commissioners are still involved with the on going battle with the Solid Waste Authority, aka, the Garbage Dump.
We should have sold the thing when I got the offer. But as usual, even though only I was guided by the Force, no one listened. I didn't know anything.
At the same time, Weaver was guided by his own selfish interests, and Stratton, guided by what came out of his cows and not the milk, either, knew more than me. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
We are only a year or two away from the place being closed down by state mandate. And when that happens, the state is not going to bail us out on the 13 or 14 million dollars that will still be owed. We will be left with an expensive hole in the ground filled with garbage that we will be stuck with forever and forever paying and paying and paying.
Not even the financial genius, Al Pingie, will be able to bail us out of that.
But what does Al care? Al claims that the days of balanced budgets in our county are over. Were you aware of that?
Someone needs to call him out on that. Someone needs to question him over that statement in a public meeting and find out why government can't live within a budget.
Unlike me, Al is not in tune with the Force. Also unlike me, Al probably doesn't need a keeper. But be that as it may, the county does and the Three Stooges we have in Smethport today are in no way, shape, or form anywhere close to being that.
No. They are the worst thing that has ever happened to the county. They are individually and collectively liars. They have broken their campaign promises to the people time and time again. But like the sheep that the people are, they ignore all of that. Ho hum.
Taxes increase. So what!
Pretend we have tourism. That works!
They promised night meetings around the county but Larry the Lionhearted is afraid. Someone might ask him a question that he can't duck and what would happen then? So instead of living up to his promise, Larry and the other two Stooges change from having meetings every week to every other week, thus denying the people the access to government that they are rightfully entitled to.
Yes. On days like these, I know I need a keeper. I hurt all over because I exercised bad judgment. NO PROBLEM.
However, the county needs a keeper, too. The county is hurting more than I am and no one knows it. No one seems to care either.
Send your comments to . Have a nice day.
Thank you for our technology enabler & server administrator Mr. Calvin from Online Casino Malaysia. Without their support, I wouldn't be able to bring the website up and running in the short time. Really appreciate their assistance.

Update: Please note – I have updated my two major posts about this issue with a link back to this post.
I just had a lengthy conversation with Microsoft regarding my issues with Vista this past weekend. I'll be posting a much longer entry on this later this evening. They were cordial, concerned, and treated me with the utmost respect. I appreciate that.
I think that while we were chatting we may have discovered why I had the problems with WGA that I had – not sure yet – but it does appear that my hands are not totally clean here. It'll take some research for me to go back through emails, IMs, and blog posts to get a definite timeline on what happened, and when. But I received a build of Vista (6000.xxxx) from someone inside Microsoft. I didn't think anything of it – it was obvious that they thought they were doing something good – getting a better build of Vista into the hands of someone that was becoming more and more enamored with Vista as the builds kept getting better and better. It appears that accepting this build was a mistake on my part – I assumed it was the "final" 6000 build. It very well might not have been. That alone could have everything to do with my experience with the WGA bomb that was dropped this past weekend. Microsoft will have to sort that out – and I will certainly help them as much as I can (I already told them I would not share the name of the employee that shared the build with me).
I guess I was kind of flattered at the time – I am a blogger, and thought, "this is cool – someone takes my opinion seriously". I think I considered myself as getting a "media preview" at the time. I should have known better. It's caused me to lose a lot of time and work.
Now I am NOT letting Microsoft off the hook either on WGA or on the way I was treated in their forums. MS is also looking into the forum issues. I am not letting the jerk who Meebo'ed me off the hook (although I did decline to provide that IP address to MS when asked for it). No company of any size can control every emotion their employees have – so I don't blame the IM on Microsoft – I blame it on the person that sent the IM.
Now I have a direct contact at a senior level within MS – and any more nasty IMs WILL be reported. So please, don't do that.
As I said, I'll post more on this later – but I also told MS that I am sticking with my decision to move to Ubuntu.
I'll try to get the longer post out tonight, but it may be tomorrow morning before I get it completed.

Hess Sells Forties at Biggest Discount in Two Months
Hess Energy Trading Co., or Hetco, sold North Sea Forties crude at the lowest discount in two months after it amassed more than a third of the shipments scheduled to load in February.
Hetco accumulated 10 Forties cargoes out of the planned 25 for February loading over a 11-day period this month, according to six people with knowledge of the trades who asked not to be named because the information is confidential. The company has since sold three cargoes and prices have retreated, a survey of traders and brokers monitoring the daily trading window run by McGraw-Hill Cos.' Platts pricing agency shows. Forties is used to set Dated Brent, the benchmark for two-thirds of world oil.
The Forties discount to Dated Brent dropped to 40 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the lowest since Nov. 18. The premium, or backwardation, on prompt cargoes of the crude jumped to 95 cents, the highest in at least four years on Jan. 14 as Hetco began to keep the shipments. The spread tumbled to minus 12 cents today, data from London-based brokers PVM Oil Associates Ltd. show. A London-based Hetco official declined to comment.
"It's a good time to sell," Andrey Kryuchenkov, London- based vice president of commodities research at VTB Capital, said today in an e-mail. "Spot demand tightness in the North Sea is easing following an early-winter price spike due to supply disruptions and colder-than-normal weather."
Hetco's Sales
The trading venture partly owned by New York-based Hess Corp. sold one consignment for Feb. 3 to Feb. 5 to Statoil ASA at a discount of 60 cents to Dated, the survey showed today.
Hetco sold two shipments to Royal Dutch Shell Plc. One cargo was for Feb. 4 to Feb. 6 loading at a discount of 40 cents to the Dated Brent benchmark, and the other for Feb. 5 to Feb. 7 at 35 cents below Dated, the survey showed. That compares with three shipments sold yesterday at discounts of 40 and 45 cents to Dated.
"Spot premiums eased, and with the discount to the front month future also widening, it's only logical to book profits," Kryuchenkov said. Brent crude for February on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange expired in "stark backwardation" on Jan. 14, he said.
Hetco sold a third shipment for Feb. 9 to Feb. 11 to Statoil ASA at a discount of 40 cents to Dated Brent. This compares with a premium of 20 cents it asked for on Jan. 21. The company also sought to sell three more Forties cargoes and a consignment of Brent crude without success. The Platts window, which takes place daily from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. London time, serves as a forum for North Sea trades.
Influence Prices
The Forties shipments that were held by Hetco had amounted to 5.8 million barrels, compared with a total of 14.8 million barrels of the grade scheduled to load next month, based on a monthly loading schedules seen by Bloomberg. Cargoes are released into the market 21 days before loading and are linked to a so-called chain of forward contracts.
By holding most of the Forties cargoes, companies can influence prices in line with their trading strategy. Shell, Europe's largest oil company, Vitol Group, the world's biggest independent oil trader, and Trafigura Beheer BV have amassed larger-than-average supplies of Forties in the past year, according to the people.
Brent crude futures advanced about 3 percent this year, while its U.S. counterpart West Texas Intermediate declined about 4 percent.
"Brent is supported by unexpected maintenance and exceptional buying from a large trader," Christophe Barret, London-based global oil analyst at Credit Agricole SA, said in a research note yesterday.
An oil-trading company can bet on the size of the spread between monthly Brent and related products. These can be contracts on the ICE Futures Europe exchange, or derivatives linked to Brent bought and sold directly between parties in what's called the over-the-counter market.

A woman who endured 15 years of misery struggling to repay debts following the breakdown of her marriage is urging people worried about their finances to seek help.
Linda DePellette's world was turned upside in 1997 when her husband announced he was leaving her for another woman.
The shock news also meant Linda had to quit her job – because she worked in a factory near Uppingham, couldn't drive, and relied on her husband, who worked nearby, giving her a lift.
Despite her husband promising to sort out the mortgage, a paperwork error made when the property was originally purchased meant Linda was held personally liable for around £13,000 worth of payments and interest charges.
Pleas for help to the mortgage provider went unanswered and for years she struggled by on benefits, attempting to cover her outgoings and pay off some of the money she owed.
A breakdown, anti-depressants and thoughts of suicide followed before Linda stumbled across an organisation called Christians Against Poverty (CAP) – which she credits with both saving and transforming her life.
Linda, 49, of New Cross Road, Stamford, said: "I'd really hit rock bottom and couldn't see a way out.
"I was robbing Peter to pay Paul and both were skint. It had made me very ill and I really didn't know what to do.
"But one day I was sitting in tears opposite a housing officer from South Kesteven District Council and he handed me a business card for CAP.
"Although it took me a couple of weeks to make that first phone call, that was the moment my life changed for the better."
CAP helps thousands of people across the country every year with free debt help, job clubs and money courses.
Services are available to all regardless of religion, race, nationality, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability.
Linda was put in touch with CAP staff in Stamford and describes debt coach Lisa Garwood, who was the first CAP representative to walk through her door, as her 'angel'.
Linda said: "I'll never forget that day. Just being able to finally share all of my problems and worries with someone who could help me deal with the root causes was amazing.
"I knew it would be a long process, but I was so happy we had got the ball rolling."
CAP does not pay off it clients debts, but instead liaises with those owed money to work out repayment plans.
Sometimes, these result in the debt being cleared, and sometimes clients have to go through a bankruptcy process, as Linda did.
She said: "When CAP started helping, they were dealing with debt collectors for me. After years of being chased by phone, letter and in person all of that stress was taken away.
"It wasn't easy, because CAP set me a budget which I had to stick to, and there's no point seeking help unless you are willing to do that.
"But I knew it was the right thing to do. When declared bankrupt I felt like shouting it from the rooftops because I knew I could start my life again."
Linda, who has a 13-year-old daughter, suffers from a range of health problems including diabetes and a heart condition which make work difficult. But having had her life turned around by CAP she was determined to give something back and now helps to run a CAP job club at Christ Church, in Green Lane, Stamford. She also does voluntary work with the elderly and edits a church magazine.
She said: "I'm living proof that there's always hope. Help is out there, you just need to know where to find it.
"CAP saved my life – without it I probably wouldn't be here and I'd urge anyone who has money problems like I did to pick up the phone and call today."
CAP debt centre manager Simon Jary works with clients from Stamford, Bourne, the Deepings, Oakham and Oundle. He said: "Linda knows from personal experience that CAP can and will help people who feel they have no way out.
"We are here ready and waiting to help. You don't have to be a Christian – we help everybody.
"No matter how bad it seems, there is light at the end of the tunnel."
n For debt management advice, or job club support, call CAP on 0800 328 0006.

From the Java perspective this is very much what I found too. When I first learned RDF I was really intrigued about how it related to Object Oriented Programming, which I was familiar with. So I tried to write a mapper for it to Java, which to my astonishment was really a lot easier than I thought. This really helped me understand how OO programming and the semantic web mesh together. Having these tools for run of the mill programmers is really important as Peter points out to get them to overcome the fear of the new: by bringing the semweb back to something they know. This thought is what led me to develop the Sommer library: https://sommer.dev.java.net/sommer/index.html Doin this made it clear that really the major difference is that we name things and fields with URIs. The next difference is that of Graphs, which is a little more difficult to merge correctly into OO languages (or for that matter most traditional programming languages). Still before tools such as Hibernate and such for Java came out, people worked with SQL directly. So people went on a long time with this pain point... To start off we need really good examples of the usage of RDF. And I think foaf+ssl is that key driver, because it has the ability to give people access to things they would not otherwise have had access to: eg: going to a party.

In 2016, our 50th year, we have agreed a five-year partnership with Elgin Academy, arranged as part of the Developing the Young Workforce programme.
In this initiative, Robertson will return to its roots as our founder, Bill Robertson CBE, is a former Elgin Academy pupil. The scheme will offer pupils a series of unique opportunities, including work placements, site visits, employability skills sessions and competitions.
It was launched with a project for all S3 pupils to design a climber's retreat, the partnership will help pupils develop skills to help them on their way to their chosen career, be it in construction or any other field.
We are committed to making a positive impact on the communities where we operate
– Fraser Edgar Group Marketing Director of the Robertson Group, :
"Our business was started 50 years ago this year in Elgin and Robertson is rooted here, so it is fantastic that we can make such a positive contribution towards the futures of our young people.
"We have made a five-year commitment to this programme through the Developing the Young Workforce initiative and we're looking forward to helping Elgin Academy pupils gain the skills that will prepare them better than ever before for their potential careers."
We look forward to the many exciting opportunities which lie ahead for our young people in developing their careers.
– David Barnett, head teacher
"We are delighted to be working in partnership with Robertson with the shared aim of developing the young workforce. The fact that Robertson has its roots in Eglin provides that special piece of added relevance for our students.
Robertson is very proud of its roots in Elgin and we're really enthusiastic about working with the academy.
– Jade O'Hara, young people's champion at Robertson
"Our first competition with the school will be open to S3 pupils, but we are working on a number of projects to lead a curriculum of employability based activities. As part of our commitment, we will be offering pupils the opportunity to join our teams through a unique work-ready programme"


text: Hi guys I have a copy of an AVI movie file, and I want to back it up onto a DVD+RW 4.7 GB disc. When I burnt it (converted to DVD using WINAVI, burnt using nero express 8) , the first 15-20 mins came perfectly, then all of a sudden its starts getting choppy and eventually freezes and skips 4-5 scenes. I have to turn of the DVD, take out the disc, put it back in, and fast forward past the choppy/freezing part, then play from where it is good agian. I should add that it comes choppy when playing in my DVD player, which DOES support DVD+/-RW Why does this happen? I also should mention that I've used the same DVD+RW disc for like 10 DVD's, i just re-formatted and then burnt another on it. Is this the reason? I don't think it should be because I only had this problem once I tried to burn it on my new laptop. It was working fine on my family computer.

Banner-raising ceremony at Roberts School on May 18 to salute Schools of Promise inclusion initiative
The Syracuse University School of Education and Syracuse City School District (SCSD) leaders will honor the staff and administration of Roberts School during a banner-raising ceremony on Tuesday, May 18, at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Roberts is the second Syracuse school to implement Schools of Promise, an initiative to include all students in general education classrooms, especially those children who have traditionally been marginalized, including students with disabilities, English language learners and students of color. Over the past three years, Roberts School staff and administration have worked to eliminate self-contained and pull-out classrooms for students, instead utilizing teams of teachers to plan and meet individual student needs in the general education setting.
A similar event was held at Salem Hyde Elementary School in 2007. Salem Hyde and Roberts pioneered Syracuse's Schools of Promise initiative, developed by School of Education professors George Theoharis and Julie Causton-Theoharis. Schools of Promise is currently co-directed by Theoharis, Causton-Theoharis and School of Education professor Christy Ashby.
"It's important to honor the hard work these schools have done and to recognize these efforts that are really ahead of many schools, in terms of the spirit of special education law and creating inclusive schools," Theoharis says. "This community celebration is a way to publicly acknowledge and recognize the efforts of the Roberts staff and the partnership between Roberts and SU."
Staff, parents and students from Roberts School are invited to join SCSD and SU School of Education faculty and administrators at the banner-raising event.
For more on Schools of Promise, visit SU's Inclusion Institutes at http://www.inclusioninstitutes.org/schoolsofpromise.

Look!: Getting the Yard Ready for Winter
Black Gold. Last Sunday we finally got the chance to clean up the little scrap of yard behind our apartment and break down our compost. After throwing kitchen cuttings in since last spring, we were really proud to have so much dark, rich soil to lay on top of our suffering plant beds...
We thought we'd share a few pictures with you and advocate the beauty of composting in the city in general. We've composted for years on our street. We always start with the fall leaves and then add in kitchen cuttings (no meat or dairy) on top. We also buy red wriggler worms from the Union Square Farmer's Market once a year to help the compost break down.
We also got an email from our friend, P, who was working on the communal gardens in his building this past weekend as well. His are fabulous. Check them out.
He also sent along a bunch of good info.
Hi max, pictures from our condo garden. Went to pick up free compost in Bronx yesterday & free daffodil bulbs at union square greenmarket on sat.
The gardens are part of our children's garden project. You might like to read our statement of principle: This was written by one of our garden committee members, Nina Massen:
"What is the expression on a kid's face when he sees a cucumber dangling from a vine for the first time, pops a basil leaf in her mouth, picks the first string bean of the season, or yanks a carrot out of the ground? Well, hang out by the communal garden and you will see such scenes daily.
The plants and seeds that were planted in the Spring are now in full bloom – six different kinds of tomatoes, pole and bush beans, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli and cauliflower, lettuce, herbs, and carrots. The butterfly garden next door to the vegetable beds offers a lovely assortment of flowers, appreciated especially by butterflies!
These communal gardens – tended by 12 volunteer families in our building throughout the summer months – do more than just add a welcome bit of color and nature to the courtyard. A 2003 Harvard Medical School study concluded that children who are taught about sustainable food systems through hands-on experiences such as gardening perform better in school, have fewer discipline issues, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Kate Adamick, a nationally known food systems consultant, who has visited our garden, said "The beautiful garden at 1400 Fifth is an outstanding example of a community caring enough about its children to teach them about the bounty of nature, the virtue of physical labor, and the delight in working together to achieve a common goal."
You want to also mention that the Dept of Sanitation is doing another weekend, Oct. 20, 21 of free compost on Staten Island, at Fresh Kills? Here's the link: //www.nyccompost.org/program/givebacks.html">www.nyccompost.org/program/givebacks.html.

Illustration has been my passion ever since I began to draw at early age. Over periods of time I've explored different media, which has helped to expand my skills development. Coming from an Eastern background I developed an interest in graphic novels that originated from Eastern countries, particularly Japan. Over time my observations have expanded across western countries and I began exploring the differing cultural approaches toward illustration and graphic novels.
What I became fascinated with was the process of being able to transfer a message across audiences by simple yet effective visual metaphor language. As I continued throughout my study I learnt to embrace my drawing skills and utilise them to create my own individual form of visual communication.
Ultimately I want to develop my own voice where my practice reflects my personality and cultural heritage.
– Illustration of cartoon characters
– I am who I am
– What does the public know about Chinese culture and its identity?

While the Florida Department of Education has come out with a
numerical ranking of the state's 67 school districts based on FCAT
scores, Gadsden County has made quantifiable progress that presents a
significantly better picture.
By some measures, the district is having what may be its best year
ever in terms of student achievement and overall school performance.
Superintendent Reginald James has questioned the state's ranking, as
have other Florida school district superintendents.
