A New Era: UCO Wrestling's Success Makes School History
UCO wrestler Will Steltzlen grapples with William Homalon from Fort Hays State University. Stetzlen pinned Homalon and won this match by pin at 1:59. (Ryan Naeve / The Vista)
Broncho wrestling has a long and storied tradition. Yet, in just his first season as head coach, Todd Steidley has lead his team to break multiple school records.
The Bronchos are ranked seventh in the latest NCAA Division II rankings. They also have four wrestlers who are nationally ranked in their weight classes.
The team has managed to break the school record for consecutive wins with 25. They have also managed to secure the first undefeated dual season in school history at 18-0.
"When I was younger I would've said it's irrelevant without the championship. These guys have made history at a prestigious program and that's something to be proud of," Steidley said. "I just couldn't be more proud of them."
Steidley takes a great deal of pride in coaching for UCO. "I'm proud of our tradition. I'm proud to be a part of it," Steidley said.
In 1987, Steidley contributed to one of the Broncho's 15 national championships as a junior. He won the 142-lbs national title and earned a team title.
This season has roots dating back to the end of last year. The Bronchos closed out the 2015-2016 season with seven straight dual wins, setting up the 25-win streak.
"We don't expect to lose any matches. Whether a guy is number one, whether they're Division I guys, we expect to win every match," second-ranked, 197-lb wrestler Greg Wilson said. The junior has been a key in the Bronchos' perfect season thus far.
With their killer attitude, the Bronchos took down every challenge in their way. When they beat second-ranked Nebraska-Kearney, the season started to look like it could be special.
The victory put the Bronchos on top of the MIAA Conference Dual standings and was a key step to capturing an illusive undefeated season.
The Bronchos seemed to have a knack for knocking off ranked opponents during their streak. The team finished the year 7-0 against other teams in the top 25, including two wins against top-ten foes.
"We just look at it as another day, keep moving forward," seond-ranked heavyweight Caleb Cotter said. The big man plays a key part of the team, anchoring most duels. "Usually I'm just so in the zone I don't even think about it," Cotter said. The 6'2″ Sapulpa native has dominated the entire season, boasting a 21-3 record.
The two big guys, Cotter and Wilson, give the Bronchos stability at the back end of duels. Combined, the two have only lost seven matches on the year.
"This is my first season that I've gotten to the end. I've had injuries and eligibility issues, so I'm super excited to get out there and do what I've been waiting to do for four years," Wilson said.
The season was capped off with a win against Fort Hays State University on Feb. 5. The win solidified the MIAA Conference Dual Championship and locked down the first undefeated wrestling season UCO has ever had.
"I think momentum throughout the year has carried pretty tremendously. I mean, guys attitudes, we're a confident team and we show that when we wrestle," Wilson said.
While it may be impressive to the outside world, inside the wrestling room this is exactly what was expected. "I think this isn't really a surprise to anybody in this room," Wilson said.
Coach Steidley has managed to build upon an already rich culture that surrounds the program.
"We've really stressed family atmosphere, having each other's back," Steidley said, "We've stressed being more physical, being tough, being more aggressive. Our conditioning is great with Coach Black in the off-season. He had them doing stuff that would make a billy goat throw up," Steidley said.
The physicality and fitness on which Steidley has focused has proven to be effective throughout the season. However, the biggest prize is still on the horizon for the team. Steidley has made it clear what another National Championship would mean to him.
"It would be awesome to cap it off with a National Championship. It would be a Cinderella season," Steidley said.
The Bronchos move forward, looking to win the MIAA Conference Tournament and possibly the National Championship on March 11. Regardless of the outcome, their coach is still proud of his team. "No matter what happens from here on out, they've broken several records and can continue to do that next year. I just couldn't be more proud of them."

1. They Use an "F-Mount"
Nikon and Pentax are the only manufacturers of single lens reflex film cameras that kept their lens mount intact when autofocus technology was introduced. This allowed Nikon users to hold on to their lenses, even as metering, aperture, and autofocus requirements changed. Nikkor lenses, the Nikon-specific lens brand, use an F-mount alongside Zeiss, Vivitar, and Tamron lenses, among others. Nikon, however, introduced the F-mount with its Nikon F camera in 1959. There are more F-mount lenses than other type, with more than 400 selections.

2. Lens Functions are Controlled by Turning Counterclockwise
F-mount lenses, unlike other types of lenses, lock and unlock when they are turned counterclockwise rather than clockwise. The same goes for the zoom, aperture, and focus controls, which can be confusing if you're moving to Nikon from Canon—both Pentax and Sony lenses turn counterclockwise as well. In 1959, Nikon made this decision so that customers who had become accustomed to their "Nikon S" series would be able to more easily make the switch.

3. Nikkor Lenses Are Multilayered
Nikon is the only lens manufacturer to provide multilayered lenses, which help to reduce flare and lens-fog to a minimum. The multilayered process is called Nikon Super Integrated Coating, and in addition to reducing lens flare also helps to maintain color integrity by minimizing reflection. This is especially important in a zoom lens, when the image itself is photographed from such a long distance. Nikon applies a different number of these multiple layers to each of its Nikkor lenses, depending on the need of that specific model. When Nikon developed their NSR-series, they also developed an another antireflective coating for lenses known as the Nano Crystal Coat, used particularly for wide-angle lenses.

4. Nikon Lenses Have Special Focusing Capabilities
Nikon invented the Close-Range Correction (CRC) system for focusing, which allows for super close focusing range. Using CRC, lens elements are arranged in groups which move independently to focus even in very tight situations. Nikon lenses also have an internal focus function, which allows the lens to focus without changing its size. This results in lighter lenses than competitors, but also for closer-focusing as well. Internal focusing is featured most telephoto Nikkor lenses and some zoom models; CRC function is available in Micro, wide-angle, fisheye, and some medium telephoto Nikkor lenses.

5. Many Nikkor Lenses Have Special Features
Just like camera bodies, lenses oftentimes boast special features for ease of imaging and creative control. One of these is Vibration Reduction, which, in Nikon-sponsored tests, was found to reduce image blur and allow the photographer to shoot three f-stops up from where he would have been able to produce a steady image from a competitor lens. Ultimately, Vibration Reduction allows for photographers to shoot in lower-light situations than he would otherwise have been able to. Other such features are M/A mode and A/M mode. M/A mode allows the photographer to switch between automatic and manual focusing modes without lag, even if autofocus remains on. A/M mode allows for autofocus to remain the priority to help prevent unintended toggling between the two functions.

Key resources
References for the key publications about cancer among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are listed here.
This report, the first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander burden of disease study undertaken by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, provides a set of estimates of the fatal and non-fatal burden of disease for the 2011 and 2003 reference years. It also provides estimates of attributable burden for various risk factors, as well as disaggregation of estimates by selected states and territories, socioeconomic group and remoteness. Estimates of the gap in disease burden between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians are also reported.
The study provides an evidence base to inform health policy, program and service delivery. This, in turn, helps to guide expenditure on health that is cost effective, equitable and optimises health gains.
Abstract adapted from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer framework provides guidance for individuals, communities, organisations and governments to address disparities and improve cancer outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The framework is designed to support national, jurisdictional, regional and local efforts to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer outcomes, including cancer plans and related policies, frameworks and action plans. It sets out priority areas for action with a flexible approach that allows for local context and needs.
Abstract adapted from Cancer Australia
This article aims to validate analysis methods and report cancer survival rates for Indigenous Australians as a basis for regular national reporting. Currently, national cancer survival statistics are available for the total Australian population but not Indigenous Australians, although their cancer mortality rates are known to be higher than those of other Australians.
National cancer registrations data was used to calculate all-cancer and site-specific relative survival for Indigenous Australians (compared with non-Indigenous Australians) diagnosed in 2001-2005.
Results found survival was lower for Indigenous than non-Indigenous Australians for all cancers combined and for many cancer sites. Survival was lower for rural and remote than urban residents; this disparity was much greater for Indigenous people.
Abstract adapted from Population Health Metrics
The aim of this paper was to explore the cancer care experiences of Indigenous people in New South Wales. It used a social inclusion lens to understand how people at the margins of society engage with services proved. The data included information from interviews conducted with 22 Indigenous people with cancer, 18 carers of Indigenous people and 16 health care workers.
The study highlighted three factors which were important influences of social inclusion:

Creating a chart to show stock history
The Kendo UI library provides a specialized chart widget that can be used to display the stock price data for a particular stock over a period of time. In this recipe, we will take a look at creating a Stock chart and customizing it.
Getting started
Include the CSS files, kendo.dataviz.min.css and kendo.dataviz.default.min.css, in the head section. These files are used in styling some of the parts of a stock history chart.
How to do it…
A Stock chart is made up of two charts: a pane that shows you the stock history and another pane that is used to navigate through the chart by changing the date range.
The stock price for a particular stock on a day can be denoted by the following five attributes:
- Open: This shows you the value of the stock when the trading starts for the day
- Close: This shows you the value of the stock when the trading closes for the day
- High: This shows you the highest value the stock was able to attain on the day
- Low: This shows you the lowest value the stock reached on the day
- Volume: This shows you the total number of shares of that stock traded on the day
Let's assume that a service returns this data in the following format:
[ { "Date" : "2013/01/01", "Open" : 40.11, "Close" : 42.34, "High" : 42.5, "Low" : 39.5, "Volume": 10000 } . . . ]
We will use the preceding data to create a Stock chart. The kendoStockChart function is used to create a Stock chart, and it is configured with a set of options similar to the area chart or Column chart. In addition to the series data, you can specify the navigator option to show a navigation pane below the chart that contains the entire stock history:
$("#chart").kendoStockChart({ title: { text: 'Stock history' }, dataSource: { transport: { read: '/services/stock?q=ADBE' } }, dateField: "Date", series: [{ type: "candlestick", openField: "Open", closeField: "Close", highField: "High", lowField: "Low" }], navigator: { series: { type: 'area', field: 'Volume' } } });
In the preceding code snippet, the DataSource object refers to the remote service that would return the stock data for a set of days. The series option specifies the series type as candlestick; a candlestick chart is used here to indicate the stock price for a particular day. The mappings for openField, closeField, highField, and lowField are specified; they will be used in plotting the chart and also to show a tooltip when the user hovers over it. The navigator option is specified to create an area chart, which uses volume data to plot the chart. The dateField option is used to specify the mapping between the date fields in the chart and the one in the response.
How it works…
When you load the page, you will see two panes being shown; the navigator is below the main chart. By default, the chart displays data for all the dates in the DataSource object, as shown in the following screenshot:
In the preceding screenshot, a candlestick chart is created and it shows you the stock price over a period of time. Also, notice that in the navigator pane, all date ranges are selected by default, and hence, they are reflected in the chart (candlestick) as well. When you hover over the series, you will notice that the stock quote for the selected date is shown. This includes the date and other fields such as Open, High, Low, and Close.
The area of the chart is adjusted to show you the stock price for various dates such that the dates are evenly distributed. In the previous case, the dates range from January 1, 2013 to January 31, 2013. However, when you hover over the series, you will notice that some of the dates are omitted. To overcome this, you can either increase the width of the chart area or use the navigator to reduce the date range. The former option is not advisable if the date range spans across several months and years.
To reduce the date range in the navigator, move the two date range selectors towards each other to narrow down the dates, as shown in the following screenshot:
When you try to narrow down the dates, you will see a tooltip in the chart, indicating the date range that you are trying to select. The candlestick chart is adjusted to show you the stock price for the selected date range. Also, notice that the opacity of the selected date range in the navigator remains the same while the rest of the area's opacity is reduced. Once the date range is selected, the selected pane can be moved in the navigator.
There's more…
There are several options available to you to customize the behavior and the look and feel of the Stock Chart widget.
Specifying the date range in the navigator when initializing the chart
By default, all date ranges in the chart are selected and the user will have to narrow them down in the navigator pane. When you work with a large dataset, you will want to show the stock data for a specific range of date when the chart is rendered. To do this, specify the select option in navigator:
navigator: { series: { type: 'area', field: 'Volume' }, select: { from: '2013/01/07', to: '2013/01/14' } }
In the previous code snippet, the from and to date ranges are specified. Now, when you render the page, you will see that the same dates are selected in the navigator pane.
Customizing the look and feel of the Stock Chart widget
There are various options available to customize the navigator pane in the Stock Chart widget. Let's increase the height of the pane and also include a title text for it:
navigator: { . . pane: { height: '50px', title: { text: 'Stock Volume' } } }
Now when you render the page, you will see that the title and height of the navigator pane have been increased.
Using the Radial Gauge widget
The Radial Gauge widget allows you to build a dashboard-like application wherein you want to indicate a value that lies in a specific range. For example, a car's dashboard can contain a couple of Radial Gauge widgets that can be used to indicate the current speed and RPM.
How to do it…
To create a Radial Gauge widget, invoke the kendoRadialGauge function on the selected DOM element. A Radial Gauge widget contains some components, and it can be configured by providing options, as shown in the following code snippet:
$("#chart").kendoRadialGauge({ scale: { startAngle: 0, endAngle: 180, min: 0, max: 180 }, pointer: { value: 20 } });
Here the scale option is used to configure the range for the Radial Gauge widget. The startAngle and endAngle options are used to indicate the angle at which the Radial Gauge widget's range should start and end. By default, its values are 30 and 210, respectively. The other two options, that is, min and max, are used to indicate the range values over which the value can be plotted. The pointer option is used to indicate the current value in the Radial Gauge widget.
There are several options available to configure the Radial Gauge widget; these include positioning of the labels and configuring the look and feel of the widget.
How it works…
When you render the page, you will see a Radial Gauge widget that shows you the scale from 0 to 180 and the pointer pointing to the value 20.
Here, the values from 0 to 180 are evenly distributed, that is, the major ticks are in terms of 20. There are 10 minor ticks, that is, ticks between two major ticks. The widget shows values in the clockwise direction. Also, the pointer value 20 is selected in the scale.
There's more…
The Radial Gauge widget can be customized to a great extent by including various options when initializing the widget.
Changing the major and minor unit values
Specify the majorUnit and minorUnit options in the scale:
scale: { startAngle: 0, endAngle: 180, min: 0, max: 180, majorUnit: 30, minorUnit: 10, }
The scale option specifies the majorUnit value as 30 (instead of the default 20) and minorUnit as 10. This will now add labels at every 30 units and show you two minor ticks between the two major ticks, each at a distance of 10 units, as shown in the following screenshot:
The ticks shown in the preceding screenshot can also be customized:
scale: { . . minorTicks: { size: 30, width: 1, color: 'green' }, majorTicks: { size: 100, width: 2, color: 'red' } }
Here, the size option is used to specify the length of the tick marker, width is used to specify the thickness of the tick, and the color option is used to change the color of the tick.
Now when you render the page, you will see the changes for the major and minor ticks.
Changing the color of the radial using the ranges option
The scale attribute can include the ranges option to specify a radial color for the various ranges on the Radial Gauge widget:
scale: { . . ranges: [ { from: 0, to: 60, color: '#00F' }, { from: 60, to: 130, color: '#0F0' }, { from: 130, to: 200, color: '#F00' } ] }
In the preceding code snippet, the ranges array contains three objects that specify the color to be applied on the circumference of the widget. The from and to values are used to specify the range of tick values for which the color should be applied.
Now when you render the page, you will see the Radial Gauge widget showing the colors for various ranges along the circumference of the widget, as shown in the following screenshot:
In the preceding screenshot, the startAngle and endAngle fields are changed to 10 and 250, respectively. The widget can be further customized by moving the labels outside. This can be done by specifying the labels attribute with position as outside.
In the preceding screenshot, the labels are positioned outside, hence, the radial appears inside.
Updating the pointer value using a Slider widget
The pointer value is set when the Radial Gauge widget is initialized. It is possible to change the pointer value of the widget at runtime using a Slider widget. The changes in the Slider widget can be observed, and the pointer value of the Radial Gauge can be updated accordingly.
Let's use the Radial Gauge widget. A Slider widget is created using an input element:
<input id="slider" value="0" />
The next step is to initialize the previously mentioned input element to a Slider widget:
$('#slider').kendoSlider({ min: 0, max: 200, showButtons: false, smallStep: 10, tickPlacement: 'none', change: updateRadialGuage });
The min and max values specify the range of values that can be set for the slider. The smallStep attribute specifies the minimum increment value of the slider. The change attribute specifies the function that should be invoked when the slider value changes.
The updateRadialGuage function should then update the value of the pointer in the Radial Gauge widget:
function updateRadialGuage() { $('#chart').data('kendoRadialGauge') .value($('#slider').val()); }
The function gets the instance of the widget and then sets its value to the value obtained from the Slider widget.
Here, the slider value is changed to 100, and you will notice that it is reflected in the Radial Gauge widget.
Using the Linear Gauge widget
The Linear Gauge widget is also used to indicate where a value lies in the given range. It is similar to the Radial Gauge widget and takes the same set of options as well. It is used to display the value on a linear scale.
How to do it…
Linear Gauge is created by invoking the kendoLinearGauge function on the DOM element. It uses the same options as the Radial Gauge widget:
$("#chart").kendoLinearGauge({ pointer: { value: 20, }, scale: { min: 0, max: 200, majorUnit: 20, minorUnit: 10 } });
This will display the Linear Gauge widget with its pointer at 20. By default, the widget is displayed vertically, that is, the value is projected on the y axis. To display the widget horizontally, specify vertical as false under the scale option. This will display the widget horizontally.
How it works…
When you render the page, the Linear Gauge is displayed vertically, as shown in the following screenshot:
After setting vertical as false, the widget is displayed horizontally.
As with the Radial Gauge, the Linear Gauge can also include the ranges option. After including the ranges option, you will see the widget showing this option along its scale.
There's more…
The pointer shown on the Linear Gauge is barIndicator by default. The other option available is arrow. To change the pointer, set shape to arrow under the pointer option:
pointer: { value: 20, shape: 'arrow' }
Now when you render the page, you will see an arrow.
Generating barcode images using various encoding methods
The Kendo UI library provides APIs that can be used to generate the barcode graphic image for the given value. For example, each product in the supermarket can have a barcode associated with it. When a customer purchases the product, the barcode would be used to get the product price and other details. The library can generate the barcode by referring to the unique identifier.
How to do it…
A barcode image can be generated by invoking the kendoBarcode function on the DOM element:
$("#chart").kendoBarcode({ value: '1234567' });
Here, the 1234567 value will be encoded using the default encoding, that is, code39. You can also specify the encoding method to be used by specifying the type field:
$("#chart").kendoBarcode({ value: '1234567', type: 'ean8' });
In the preceding code snippet, the encoding type is set to ean8. The other possible values are EAN13, UPCE, UPCA, Code11, Code39, Code39Extended, Code93, Code93Extended, Code128, Code128A, Code128B, Code128C, GS1-128, MSImod10, MSImod11, MSImod1010, MSImod1100, and POSTNET. The value attribute is mandatory and a barcode is generated using the value and the specified encoding type.
How it works…
When you don't specify the encoding type, the code39 encoding is used to generate the barcode, as shown in the following code snippet:
The value is shown in the previous barcode. To hide the value, specify the text attribute and set the visible option to false:
$("#chart").kendoBarcode({ value: '1234567', text: { visible: false } });
When you use some other encoding type, for example, ean8, the barcode is generated accordingly.
In this article, we looked at advanced data visualization components that allow us to build dashboard-like applications with ease. This includes creating a Stock chart, creating a radial and linear gauge, and generating barcode and QR code.

During the section's playoff committee meeting, formed out of the realignment project, representatives from various leagues voiced their concerns and asked questions about a proposed plan that will seed teams that earned postseason berths.
The plan, if approved, should be fully implemented by 2014 for sports like football, boys and girls soccer, girls and coed team tennis, baseball, and softball.
But the proposal also called for a complete overhaul of the playoff system for all of the section's sports – ranging from water polo to diving.
The bulk of the discussion, however, focused on how the area's football teams will be broken up into 16-team brackets, doubling the current format of eight, in the Division III and IV playoffs, which will extend the average season to 14 weeks — excluding the California Interscholastic Federation State Championships held in Carson in December.
The proposal aims to fix what many feel are problems with the current system that allows undeserving teams to qualify for the postseason.
This past fall, Manteca High's football team was edged out of the playoffs despite finishing 8-2 overall (5-2 in the competitive Valley Oak League), while fellow Division IV Foothill of Sacramento advanced with a 2-8 record. Rocklin, Roseville and Turlock also wrapped up the regular season at 8-2.
Currently, each league is allotted a pre-determined number of playoff berths. In the recent football season, the VOL had just two qualifiers, and the CVC and the Pioneer Valley League had three each in Division IV.
Manteca High principal Steve Winter, who serves on the playoff committee, said the new system would help ensure that more deserving teams are in the playoffs in the future.
"If it was just based on wins and losses last year, we would have made it, and the opportunity to make it to the playoffs is an honor for any team – especially when you win eight games and have to sit at home," Winter said. "This would definitely help resolve that issue, and improve the overall post-season competition."
Local Division III and IV teams will fall into a bracket comprised of the Capital Athletic League, the Solano County Athletic Conference, the Tri-County Conference, the Capital Valley Conference, the Pioneer Valley League, the Mother Lode League, the Trans Valley League, the Western Athletic Conference, and the Valley Oak League.
Each respective division will have 20 automatic qualifiers, comprising of league champions and runner-ups, and 12 at-large bids that will be determined by using a new formula.
The largest 16 schools, based on the previous year's enrollment, will compete in the Division III playoffs, while the next 16 will be placed in the Division IV bracket.
For Division V and VI there will be eight automatic qualifiers and four at-large teams.
In case of ties for a particular seed, the following criteria will be applied in order: Head-to-head finish, league standing, combined wins of all opponents and Calpreps.com rankings.
Rather than relying on a committee system to determine the strength of schedule for the seeding process, commissioner Pete Saco said that the section wants to do something that takes personal feelings and prejudices out of the equation, relying simply instead win-loss records.
"We're trying to take the human element out and go strictly by the numbers," Saco said. "We don't believe that we should have staff or volunteers taking on the task of seeding this tournament."
According to the proposal, the largest 16 schools in the area based on enrollment will be placed in Division III, while the remaining 16 will be classified as Division IV.

MOSCOW -- An off-duty police chief allegedly killed three people and injured six others Monday in a supermarket shooting in Moscow, police said.
The killings may have been sparked by a family argument, said Vladimir Markin, police chief in Moscow's Tsaritsino district.
Denis Yevsyukov, chief of police in Moscow's southern district, was arrested after allegedly killing the driver of the car who dropped him at the store, a female cashier and a man inside the store, RIA Novosti reported.
"Yevsyukov had a major row with his wife before the incident," a police official said, adding Yevsyukov then left his house and argued with the driver before killing him and turning his gun on the people in the supermarket.
Yevsyukov, who was drinking before the attack, was taken to a psychiatric facility for examination, Markin said.

Explain if the goals of the mutualistas were more similar to those of the Urban League or to those of the Anti-Defamation League.
- print Print
- list Cite
The original question had to be edited. I think that the overall goals of the mutualistas were more in line with the primary aspirations of the Urban League. Both organizations were committed to the idea of unifying people of color that might have found themselves displaced by a social and political setting that did not validate differences. For the National Urban League, the advancement of African- Americans in realms of economic progress, political advocacy, and social solidarity are very similar to the mutualista aspiration to provide guidance in a similar capacity to Mexican immigrants. In each case, there is a direct disenfranchisement that the organization wishes to redress. Both organizations seem to be driven by the primary goal of being able to help transition and find a base for people of color who were not validated by the social, economic, and political configurations.
The Anti- Defamation League is more concerned with ceasing "the defamation of the Jewish people." There is less of an emphasis on helping Jewish people find their way economically and politically. The goal of the Anti- Defamation League is more as a political action committee, and less as a group for social empowerment of individuals being silenced. In this way, I think that the mutualisas seem to share more with the aspiration of the Urban League in that there is a greater emphasis on grassroots action that directly bridges theory and practice in making the lives of specific individuals better.

Yen Weakens After G-20 Refrains From Censuring Japan
The yen weakened, extending losses that have made it the worst-performing major currency in the past three months, after Group-of-20 nations refrained from criticizing Japanese policies driving the decline.
Japan's currency approached the weakest since May 2010 versus the dollar as Morgan Stanley said the final G-20 communique released in Moscow fell short of last week's Group- of-Seven statement and means recent trends in currencies may resume. The pound dropped to a seven-month low after Bank of England policy maker Martin Weale said its decline may bolster exports. The euro fell as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the economy worsened at the start of this year.
"There's renewed selling pressure on the yen and it's a reaction to the G-20 statement," said Adam Myers, head of foreign-exchange strategy at Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank in London. "Everyone has woken up to the realization that the G-20 couldn't criticize Japan when many other countries are manipulating their own currency."
The yen fell 0.5 percent to 93.95 per dollar at 4:29 p.m. London time after depreciating to 94.46 on Feb. 11, the weakest level since May 5, 2010. Japan's currency dropped 0.4 percent to 125.41 per euro after sliding 0.7 percent on Feb. 15. The euro declined 0.1 percent to $1.3350.
The yen has tumbled 13 percent versus the dollar in the past three months as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced spending increases and pressured the Bank of Japan to boost monetary easing. The decline is the most of 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg versus the greenback.
Moscow Talks
G-20 finance ministers and central bankers ended two days of talks in Moscow on Feb. 16 with a statement pledging not to "target our exchange rates for competitive purposes," without singling out Japan.
Japanese officials said they haven't deliberately sought to weaken their currency and its decline was a byproduct of efforts to revive the economy. U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Lael Brainard criticized "loose talk about currencies."
"They basically said that the Japanese can continue to pursue their policies to reflate their economy, which the G-20 and the G-7 have called for, for a couple of years now," said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in New York. "We'll see the Japanese continue to pursue aggressive fiscal easing and monetary easing, and just not talk about the currency so much."
Odds Increase
There's a 54 percent chance the yen will depreciate to 100 per dollar by year-end, according to options data compiled by Bloomberg. The odds have increased from 25 percent on Jan. 24. The median prediction of about 80 strategists surveyed by Bloomberg is for it to end 2013 at 95 per dollar.
The main focus for the yen now is on who will be appointed to replace BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, who will step down on March 19, Morgan Stanley analysts led by Hans Redeker in London, wrote in the note to clients published Feb. 16.
Abe is likely to nominate Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda, who is set to pursue the government's anti- deflation course, though if he nominates former BOJ deputy governor Toshiro Muto, that may trigger the yen to retrace losses back to 90 per dollar, Morgan Stanley said.
Abe said in parliament today that the purpose of monetary easing is to end deflation and he wants to show the government's intentions through nominees for BOJ governor and deputies soon.
Pound Falls
The pound fell for the first time in three days versus the euro on speculation Bank of England minutes to be released this week will echo those from January, which said sterling's real exchange rate was above the level needed to help the economy rebalance. Futures traders reversed bets the pound would rise, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed.
"Investors are struggling to have faith in sterling," said Simon Smith, chief economist at FxPro Group Ltd. in London. "Investors are seeing an economy which is possibly entering another recession and is likely to see inflation holding above target. The central bank is also wanting to see the currency lower. Weale's comments were a fresh piece of evidence."
The pound fell 0.3 percent to $1.5472 after sliding to $1.5438, the weakest since July 13. Sterling depreciated 0.2 percent to 86.29 pence per euro.
Sterling has tumbled 4.5 percent this year, the second- worst performer after the yen among 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The dollar gained 0.9 percent and the euro rose 2.2 percent.
The euro approached a three-week low against the dollar after Draghi told the European Parliament in Brussels that "available indicators signal further weakness at the beginning of 2013, with domestic demand remaining dampened."
The 17-nation currency dropped to $1.3306 on Feb. 15, the weakest level since Jan. 24.
U.S. financial markets are shut today for the Presidents' Day holiday.

Food prices in Maharashtra may go up as striking farmers stop supply of food items seeking Rs 30,000 cr loan waiverFarmers in Maharashtra today began an indefinite strike and curtailed the supply of vegetables, milk and fruits to big cities over demands for a crop loan waiver and better procurement prices.
Farmers in Maharashtra today began an indefinite strike and curtailed the supply of vegetables, milk and fruits to big cities over demands for a crop loan waiver and better procurement prices. They have also emptied huge containers of milk on the roads in temple town Shirdi.
Indebted farmers are demanding a waiver on loans from the Maharashtra government (about Rs. 30,500 crore) similar to the Rs. 36,401 crores in debt forgiveness announced by Yogi Adityanath's UP government.
"Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will have a 'plan B' ready to face any situation if farmers stop sending vegetables and milk to Mumbai," news agency PTI quoted Maharashtra agriculture minister Pandurang Fundkar.
"We were forced to strike as the chief minister couldn't assure us that a loan waiver will be implemented quickly," said farmers' leader Dhanjay Jadhav, who met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other state representatives on Tuesday.
While, the farmers groups under Kisan Kranti Morcha, a farmers' body which is leading the protests, and believed to be close to the Shiv Sena, assures the peaceful strike, there were reports of violence coming from various parts of the state.
- In Ahmednagar, a truck carrying vegetables was burnt down. In Satara, two milk tankers in were vandalised around midnight itself. In Nashik, the police had to resort to lathi-charge to bring the situation under control after trucks full of pomegranates and onions headed to different cities in the state were unloaded on the street. Wholesale markets in Nashik are also shut.
"Farmers have set up check posts on national highways to ensure vehicles carrying vegetables and fruits cannot enter the city," said a trader based at Vashi market on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Karan Gaykar of Kisan Kranti Morcha told reporters, "We demand that the government gives attention to farmers' demands. We are not getting anything for our produce so what's the point of selling it."
The morcha has given the government two days to act on this issue.
Although the movement of the agricultural goods has been restricted since midnight, the arrivals of the vegetables and fruits has been normal till now and the impact of the strike can only be estimated by the evening says the local traders of Pune and Vashi in Mumbai.
The idea for the strike originated in early April in Puntamba, a village near Shirdi in Ahmednagar district, when farmers decided at two gram sabhas that they would boycott markets from June if the government did not agree to their requests.

The U.S. space agency, NASA, has marked the 20th anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle tragedy that killed seven astronauts.
The ceremony was held Saturday at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, where the Challenger was launched January 28, 1986.
The widow of the shuttle's commander joined a top NASA official in laying a wreath at a memorial that bears the names of the seven astronauts and other fallen space explorers.
The Challenger exploded 73 seconds after taking off under clear blue skies in near freezing temperatures. Those on board included Christa McAuliffe, who was to be the first school teacher in space.
The explosion, which was seen on live television and before an audience that included school children, was blamed on a failure of a seal in the shuttle's solid rocket booster due to the cold weather.

Landon Donovan says Los Angeles Galaxy's turnaround this season is down to teammate David Beckham. The pair traded barbs in the media at the start of the season, but now are close as they prepare to face Houston Dynamo in the Western Conference final.
How has the Galaxy, which failed to reach the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, turned it around in 2009? Was it Coach Bruce Arena's extensive housecleaning or was it Beckham's suddenly revamped play in his third season with the Galaxy?
"It was probably a mixture," Beckham said. "I've been happy with my performances and been happy with the team's performances, but also having Bruce and his knowledge of this league and this country, it all helped us."
Donovan, the Galaxy's leading scorer, said another reason for the team's revival was unequivocal.
"To be honest, the person who's made it work is David," Donovan told the LA Times. "You guys [the media] see that his attitude and the way he's been playing is the David we know, but off the field he's also been great. He's done a lot of things throughout the year to show that he wants to be here. He took the guys to dinner a couple of weeks ago to celebrate making the playoffs. He's just been fantastic."

Normally this would be the place where we engage in some light riffing on how we utilise Netsounds' articles to bugger off down the pub. However, they've excelled themselves this time - some exclusive and brilliant performances culled live from this month's goNORTH festival. Drinks are on us this time, lads!
Hello! We are delighted to be able to hijack this edition of Netsounds Talk to premier the first two videos from our acoustic sessions we recorded at this year's goNORTH in Inverness.
We were lucky enough to record 10 amazing acts who were showcasing at this year's goNORTH. The lovely people at IG:LU in Inverness offered up exclusive use of their premises and we were joined by students from North Highland College, houdidontblog and the North's finest audio engineer with a Superman style handshake, Calum Martin (CMPS Events) to record acts over 2 days. It's the first time we had all worked together on a project like this but we have a feeling it won't be the last.
We had a shoestring budget (that means no budget), coffee, water, sandwiches, pita breads, borrowed guitars and great results!
Some of the most exciting emerging acts from the Highlands and Islands made the Munro like climb to the top floor at IG:LU including Neon Waltz, Miss Irenie Rose and Eleanor Nicolson alongside Pinact, Dante, The Youth and Young, Charlotte Brimner, Foreignfox, Algernon Doll and award winning singer songwriter Michael Cassidy.
We will be featuring them on our podcast over the coming weeks and they will also be appearing on our Soundcloud page.
However you can see two of these right now exclusively here on What's On North.
First up Glasgow based Miss Irenie Rose who hails from the Isle of Lewis. Her unique and beautiful sound saw her win a Western Isles Battle of The Bands in 2011 and since then she has impressively gone on to play at the likes of Belladrum, Brew at the Bog and goNORTH as well as supporting Ben Howard, Karima Francis and Rachel Sermanni.
The song Miss Irenie performed for us is so fresh that it doesn't even have a title yet! As she says in the video, "You can pick your own."
The second video we have for you was actually the first one we recorded from the two days of sessions. We had never met Charlotte Brimner before and only heard a couple of songs but she instantly blew us away with her refreshing and unique sound. We would have been quite happy if she had just sat and played all day. The Dundee lass was also joined by fellow Dundonian Robbie Ward from Anderson McGinty Webster Ward and Fisher. Two brilliantly talented artists in the one room; and that was just our first session of the day.
That's all for this edition, we will be back soon with news of some very special gigs we are involved with in Inverness including Algernon Doll and Garden of Elks in July at Mad Hatters.

Posted May 15, 2012 4:40 PM
I'm so happy. I finally had my long awaited consult with Dr. Toledo at RBA. He was soooo very nice. He is also very familiar with immune issues which is a plus for me. I have completed most of my pre-cycle requirements which were MANY because I am 45. I'm just waiting to hear what if anything I am missing. After all of my pre-reqs are met I can have access to the frozen donor egg bank. I'm very excited and hoping to have a thaw date in early July. Thanks to all for helping to guide me through this process.

Local stores hope holiday season is profitable
The holiday shopping season is upon us. For local retail stores the season got off to a good start, but there's still plenty of catching up to do.
For retail stores, the holiday shopping season can make up 20-percent of all sales for a given year.
With big box stores like Target and Wal-Mart benefiting from major sales, smaller storeowners are putting an emphasis on buying local.
"Friday, I had the best Friday I think I've ever had," said Laura Lambert, owner of The Celtic Shop.
"We actually had lots and lots of customers and we had good sales, so we were really, really happy about that," stated Angela Carr of the Two Sisters Bookery.
After a disappointing year the holiday retail season got off to a great start for local businesses. They're hoping that momentum carries them through the holidays and into next year.
"This is an important time of year for us. I mean I don't like to base everything on sales and one time a year I want to have good sales all year round," Carr said.
When consumers shop at locally owned stores the money stays in the community. It also helps provide jobs and strengthen the local economy.
"A lot of people think that here our best months are in the summer. You know, July and August. My very best month is always December," Lambert said.
Store owners say some shoppers make a point to spend their money at locally owned stores, and it doesn't go unnoticed.
"It means a lot to us this year because we've kind of had a slow year," Lambert said.
Even with growing competition from online retailers, local storeowners are confident about the future.
"I think brick and mortar stores will never go out of existence," Carr said.
This year some small business owners have been working with UNCW to encourage consumers to spend their money locally.
Studies have shown that local retailers in cities with similar campaigns report larger increases in holiday sales than retailers in cities without the campaigns, which could mean a good holiday season is ahead.

Skip to comments.Presbyterian vote allows homosexual clergy, eliminates chastity standard
Posted on 05/12/2011 2:19:50 PM PDT by NYer
.- The Presbyterian Church USA has voted to remove clergy requirements of marital fidelity or single chastity, thus allowing the ordination of ministers and lay leaders who are openly homosexual or living in unmarried relationships.
This is a lonely day for Presbyterians who believe what the Bible and the Church have consistently taught: that Gods will is that we be faithful in marriage or chaste in singleness. Now we belong to a denomination that is no longer sure it believes that teaching, said Allan Wisdom, a director of Presbyterian Action at the ecumenical D.C.-based Institution on Religion & Democracy.
Wisdom thought that the change was a separation from the historic Christian tradition and the vast majority of the global Church. It means the denomination will not necessarily support its members who struggle to obey Scripture.
It will not call them to repentance when they fall short of those standards, and it will not offer Gods forgiveness for what it no longer recognizes as sexual sins. In a society where the abuse of sexuality is devastating millions of lives, this abdication by the PCUSA is tragic.
An amendment to the Presbyterian constitution was ratified on May 10 by a majority of the churchs 173 regional organizations known as presbyteries, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Since 1997 the churchs constitution required those seeking ordination to be living in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness. Now the constitution only requires church officials to examine each candidates calling, gifts, preparation and suitability for the responsibilities of office.
Regional church bodies will still be able to decide whether or not to ordain open homosexuals. However, some presbyteries have already ordained homosexual clergy and lay leaders without approval.
The change could lead some churches to leave the denomination or seek to join presbyteries more aligned with their views.
Rev. Dan Chun, pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu, told the Los Angeles Times his church has formally petitioned to move from the Pacific Presbytery, which favors homosexual ordination, to the San Diego Presbytery, which does not. The ordination of homosexuals was a major motive for the request.
He said he feared the vote would be divisive for our denomination, which has, for the past 50-plus years, been losing membership.
Michael Adee, a presbyter and executive director of the pro-homosexual group More Light Presbyterians, said the change was an important moment in the Christian communion.
I rejoice that Presbyterians are focusing on what matters most: faith and character, not a person's marital status or sexual orientation, he told the Los Angeles Times.
Knox Presbyterian Church in Ladera Heights, California hosted the Pacific Presbytery meeting.
Linda Fleming, 63, an elder and deacon at the church, said she had changed her mind on the issue because she thought it was inevitable.
I think it's like letting black people come to white churches, or letting women become ministers. It's inevitable.
Rev. Mark Brewer, pastor of Bel Air Presbyterian and an opponent of homosexual ordination, said he did not think the vote would cause any immediate crisis.
I think this is a tectonic plate slowly separating, more than a big earthquake, he said. He thought Presbyterians would Stay on the same ship but live on different decks.
The Presbyterian Church USA becomes the fourth mainline Protestant church in the U.S. to approve of openly homosexual clergy, after the Episcopal and Evangelical Lutheran churches and the United Church of Christ.
If Sacred Tradition (what all generations of the Church have taught) is ignored, then the alternative is that heretical popular doctrines of the day, like homosexual marriage, cloning, abortion on demand, embryonic stem cell research, etc., will start to be accepted by pastors and churches who want to be called modernistic, and who don't want to offend the popular culture. These formerly evil things become part of their church doctrine by a simple majority vote of the delegates to their conventions. Vice should never become virtue by popular vote. Isaiah 5:20 says "woe to them who call evil good and good evil." When Tradition is not present in a church, this is exactly what happens, and is happening now before our very eyes.
I'm not surprised. the Presbyterian Church and the ELCA have been in fellowship for some time. Only, what with the upheaval within the ELCA since their 2009 vote, one would think the PCA would get a clue...
What else would one expect from churches that allow women of questionable sexual orientation in the pulpit?
Yep, the PCUSA jumping on the apostacy train with the ELCA and Episcopalians.
Ask Fidelity ~ they sell a vast number of retirement programs to nonprofits and churches.
The Presbyterian Church USA has decided they'd rather start competing for what they view as a large number of homosexual ministers just waiting in the wings.
They'll get some, Fur Shur, butin the end there just aren't that many gays who are that involved in church stuff.
This approach is not designed to draw in new members which means that at some date certain the PCUSA will have to start selling real estate to keep the retirement plans funded.
How can supposedly Christian denominations do this?
THIS is PCUSA.....NOT PCof America.
The ELCA has already gone through that on a small scale, undercutting the retired employee pensions of their publishing house, Augsburg. Yet, they persist in chastising ministers and churches who oppose the program.
Church Announcements:
Men's Fellowship Group to meet next Saturday night at the Platinum Club.
Presbyterian Ladies Circle to leave on weekend retreat to NYC on Friday to see the Chippendale's.
Sign up for our mission trip to Ocean View Nudist Colony in Ft. Lauderdale in July.
[unbelievable - anything standing in the way now of any of the above??]
Of these, the PC-USA is by far the largest with over 2 million (claimed) members in 10,657 congregations. PC of America (since you mention it) claims 346,408 members in 1740 congregations.
This decision affects almost an order of magnitude more people than anything the PCA chooses to do.
This is a HUGE crime of leading people astray.
Are they going to build some adjoining bathhouses by the chapels? Really sick that it's come to this. Not that my own church won't undoubtedly following suit shortly. Of course, at that moment, I'll no longer regard it as 'my church,' as I'll be breaking with it for good.
Dare we ask what church that is?
Rev.18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues..........
What do you mean about the PCA?
Because they have separated the Church instituted by Christ. See my post #2.
That is why I am so glad to be a Catholic.
"I think it's like letting black people come to white churches, or letting women become ministers. It's inevitable.
I hate this "reasoning". Being black or female is not a sin.
Read Jesus's warning to the churches in the Book of Revelation.
My advice to Presbyterians, vote with your feet and your pocketbook.
This isn't a religion that studies the Bible.

What can corporations do to promote minority business development?
11/9/2010, 8:38 p.m.
Secondly, corporate America can support MBE development by bringing their prime contractors into the minority business development world. The NMSDC and the GNEMSDC have highly recognizable Fortune 500 corporate members. We need to expand our relationships with the next 3,000 largest corporations in the country, that are often major suppliers to the Fortune 500 and government. If our existing corporate members had a real program that helped minority businesses access opportunities with their major suppliers there would be significantly more opportunities for MBE growth and development. Corporate America must use their power as the customer to make this happen, to monitor and reward performance.
And finally, corporate America must provide the opportunities to MBEs that they deserve. MBEs are highly qualified, highly competitive and highly motivated to serve their corporate clients. I think if corporate America would purge itself of the stereotypes that MBEs are only in business because of some unfair advantage that is the result of their race or ethnicity and not their ability we can go a long way toward closing the opportunity gap. It was once believed that blacks could not play baseball, fight wars, fly airplanes, run corporations or even run this county. It is time to put to rest the last American myth. Blacks and minorities can run competitive businesses if given the opportunity. The immortal words of James Brown best represents the attitudes of prominent MBE corporate leaders: "I don't want nobody to give me nothing, open up the door and we will get it ourselves."

Customer Reviews for Heavenly Treatment Massage, Skincare & Nutrition (1)
November 24, 2013
I have already had several massages from Catherine at Heavenly Treatment Massage, Skin Care, and Nutrition and absolutely love it. The massage therapists that work there are highly professional and know their stuff. The massage I had with Catherine was incredible. Her background in the medical field and working for many chiropractors, Catherine is very knowledgeable and knows the human body not only from a holistic point of view, but also a medical one. I would definitely recommended Heavenly Treatment, especially if you want a massage therapist who knows her stuff! Take a look at their website under their testimonials. Others agree Heavenly Treatment is a high quality and stellar spa.

FUN FACTS, MAYBEPosted: Updated:
Is it illegal to drive in reverse in Glendale? To hunt a camel? To let a donkey sleep in your bathtub? If you check certain websites, they tell you these and other wacky laws are still on the books in Arizona and some of it's cities.
On May 7th and 8th I did reports on our GOOD EVENING ARIZONA newscast (between 6 and 6:30pm) about our state's fun facts, laws, legends and just plain lies. It was a blast, and I've gotten lots of calls from you folks wanting to join in on the fun. Here are a few tidbits of trivia that may be right on the money or miss the mark by a mile.
The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has long been a Hollywood favorite, starring such hotshots as Henry Fonda, Kurt Russel and that Dances With Wolves fella. In one movie, My Darling Clementine, Tombstone is in the middle of Monument Valley, cuz the director, I think it was John Ford, made other movies there and really liked the place. Also in most of those movies, the gunfight goes on for a very long time, when in reality, historians say it was around a thirty second shoot-em-up. I guess 30 seconds of cowboys shootin' at ya is long enough, but it would have made a boring movie. Some history buffs say the gunfight didn't even happen at the famous corral, but down the street.
Some other wild facts and/or fictions about our beloved state...it was once against the law to let a donkey sleep in your bathtub. I'm thinkin' this one was a put on, as was this....it's against the law to hunt a camel. The humped haulers were used to carry cargo across our deserts in the old days, which makes sense. And since some escaped, there probably was an opportunity to shoot one or two if ya really wanted to. So, maybe, just maybe it was true.
Did ya know Arizona once had a Navy? Two small boats roamed the Colorado River near Yuma, making sure Californians didn't sneak in.
So what's our state fossil? Yep, we have a state fossil. It's petrified wood. The palo verde is the state tree, turquoise the state gemstone, the cactus wren the state bird. If you have any questions about any of this stuff, you can get in touch with Marshall Trimble...he's the official state historian. You might find him hangin' around with his buddy, Dolan Ellis...who happens to be the official state musician. We got lots of official state stuff, don't we?
And imagine calling Sedona Schnebly Station instead. Early pioneer Theodore Schnebly was told he couldn't name it that because it had too many letters to fit in the postal mark. So he wisely named the red rock town after his wife. And most agree that Sedona is much more romantic that Schnebly Station.
So take a look on the net and check out all the fun facts about Arizona. It may come in handy the next time your on a big TV quiz show (do they still have those?).

By halftime Friday in Memphis, Chase Budinger had taken six 3-pointers on the season and missed them all. Yet he knew his shot was back.
He made his first shot of the second half that night, a 3-pointer, and went 3-of-4 from distance against the Hawks on Saturday. He had 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting against Atlanta but said his shot came around the night before.
"I wasn't in the groove," Budinger said. "(Friday) night was the first game I felt my groove was back. I told everybody. (Friday) night I missed shots, but I felt great."
Eased burden
The Rockets just completed their only set of three games in three nights and said it was not as difficult as expected.
"I felt much better (Saturday) than (Friday), for whatever reason," Luis Scola said. "I don't know. I think it was a little bit in our heads, too. Everybody was talking about the back-to-back-to-back so much, it's like you're determined to be tired."

You watch me carefully
i sit here trapped like a bird
You call out to me
I stare without a word
Is the world so blind?
is the world so deaf?
or am i merely whining,
because everybody left?
I am not to acknowledge
you giving me food
i refuse to pay attention
to your sweet gentle mood.
i am sitting alone
trapped, trapped in a cage
forbidden to speak
not a word left to say.
try to convince me,
try to change my mind.
it will result in failure.
Theres nothing left to find.
you can sit here and wait
in my eyesight's range
why won't you leave?
do you really believe i can change?
I guess for you,
i'll try, at the least.
hypnotized by love,
you are very sweet.
stay, here
close by my side
i'll forever love you,
ill call you mine.
how have i never noticed,
a feeling so sweet?
how did i not consider,
we were meant to meet?
stay by my side,
you're the cage's key
i love you...
and i know you love me.

The Revised X-mas playlist
Laura Myers | Thursday, December 11, 2008
On Monday, Analise Lipari published a list of the best Christmas songs. Now, Analise is a really nice person. She's always super positive, and she was the only Observer staffer who voted for my niece for Cleveland's cutest baby. She's also very knowledgeable in all things Scene. However, she really dropped the ball-shaped ornament on this one.
Not only did she leave out some serious classics, but her Bing Crosby and Amy Grant choices were positively absurd.
I just couldn't let her version stand as the official list. Plus, I figure a lot more people will see this one than saw hers, because no one really turns to the Scene page. That sounds mean, but it's not because Sports is just way better.
On to the new Top 10 (or however many my word count allows):
10. "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" – I'll give her that one. The "Gloria" part is really fun to sing.
9. "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" by John Denver and the Muppets – "Now bring us some figgy pudding – Piggy pudding?? – No, figgy pudding. It's made with figs. – Oh, sorry. – And bacon." Classic.
8. "Grown Up Christmas List" by Amy Grant – I agree that Grant's Christmas album is a staple, and most of the songs are absolutely beautiful. This one is by far the best for the idealistic college student.
7. "Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum" by Jimmy Buffett – I don't know about you, but in my family, it's just not Christmas without Jimmy Buffett and alcohol. Actually, it's just not my family without Jimmy Buffett and alcohol.
6. "I'll be Home for Christmas" by Bing Crosby – I don't think this one needs explaining.
5. "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)" – Appeals to kids from one to 92. This song has been covered well over 100 times, and after some exhaustive Rhapsody-ing, I decided that Nat King Cole's original is still the best.
5a. I did find a version by our very own Regis Philbin, on "The Regis Philbin Christmas album." Didn't see that coming. I listened to the whole thing. It wasn't good.
5b. On my search I also found "The Ann Arbor Chainsaw Massacre Christmas Song" by the Dead Schembechlers. It was excellent.
4. "This Christmas Day" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It's absolutely impossible to pick one TSO song, but I gave it a shot.
I'm already way over my word count, so skipping ahead…
1. "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by Gayla Peevy – It's my mom's favorite, and I haven't bought her a present yet. Merry Christmas, Mom.
Merry Christmas to everyone else as well!

What is the best
robotic cleaner?
There are many robotic pool cleaner models out there, but
choosing the right one is easy if you think about your own pool cleaning needs.
First, only consider robotic pool cleaners that are suited for your pools
type, finish, size, and shape. Then, consider how often you will use the
cleaner, and decide which features are most important to you. Do you want a
remote control for spot cleaning? A robot that cleans the sides as well as the
floor of your pool? Take time to explore the various technologies and features
of each model before choosing your cleaner.
What to do if your robotic
cleaner stops working?
If your robotic cleaner stops moving, check all of the
electrical connections and replace drive belts if necessary. If the pump is not
working, check to make sure that the impeller fan is unobstructed, or replace
the pump motor if necessary. If these troubleshooting options dont work, then
contact the cleaners manufacturer for repair options.
How much does a robotic pool cleaner cost?
The most basic robotic pool
cleaners cost around $500 to $600. For a pool cleaner with more advanced
features and technology, the price can range up to $1500 and beyond.
Mastercard, VISA, Discover, American Express and PayPal accepted.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
First off what part of it's in Surrey didn't I get? We just stopped in when driving through surrey. Omg it was the absolute worst most disgusting pub food I've ever had. The wings were VILE. Bruschetta tasteless. Veggie spring rolls just about made my husband puke. Paid over $100 for 3 people with drinks and couldn't get out of there and surrey fast enough. Do not ever go there, I'm serious.
I would never come here if it wasn't 3 blocks from me, but for a neighbourhood pub it has good drink specials, and really good food specials. Me and a few friends who live near me go for 1/2 price appies (everyday from 3-6) once in awhile.
It looks like a pub that was going to start out looking nice then they ran out of money. cheap patio chairs, old uncomfortable chairs inside, and stickers on the tv.
Service has been everywhere, but unfortunately we usually get a server who is GRUMPY!!! we always tip well, but we have given up trying to tip her well to see if that makes her happy. work for your more than 10%, don't expect it for frowning. or at least ask us how we're doing or anything similar!!!!
If you live around here, like walking distance, I recommend, but if your driving I would hit up Guildford station or Big ridge
After driving past the "New Ownership" sign at Jacks pub for months now i finally decided to check it out. My friend and I headed there on Friday evening for a drink and meal. The server infromed us that they were currently launching their new homemade beef burger. My friend tried the burger and said it was great. I decided to try the butter chicken flatbread. The combination of butter chicken on a flatbread was unreal and a great value as it also comes with a side. Overall the pub was busy, very clean, comfortable and the food was great. The staff was very welcoming and we had a great time. I will be planning my next trip back with friends very soon.

Last night, I defragmented my hard disk, using Norton Utilities Speed Disk and I ran the disk cleanup option in Tweak XP. This morning, I switched on my computer, and my Quicklaunch bar is blank. I navigated into my 'C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch' directory, and the icons I want the bar to display are all there. So why aren't they displaying on the task bar as nature intended they be? I can drag icons to the quick launch bar, and they sit there for a while, before seeemingly disappearing again. Any ideas? Is there a setting in Win XP which my ignorant newbie fingers could have haplessly activated that's causing this strange feature? If you can offer a suggestion, you will have made this clueless idiot's day. Much appreciated.
