1 Purpose and Scope of the Procedure
1.1 Scope
This procedure applies to all UCL Qatar staff.
1.2. Aim of the document
The aim of this document is to set out UCL Qatar's procedure for maternity/adoption leave and pay in order to ensure consistency of approach in line with employment legislation and UCL Qatar's commitment to good employment practice.
1.3. Criteria for Entitlement
This procedure relates to all categories of UCL Qatar staff irrespective of funding source. There is no qualifying length of service requirement for occupational maternity pay.
2.1. All employees are entitled to the following:
- Occupational Maternity Pay
Occupational Maternity Pay is full pay for 18 weeks; this can be paid in either of the following ways:
a ) 18 weeks' full pay, or
b ) 9 weeks' full pay followed by 18 weeks' half pay
- Additional Unpaid Maternity Leave
2.2. The maximum amount of leave allowed (including paid maternity leave and unpaid maternity leave) is 52 weeks, beginning on the date the employee advises UCL Qatar that maternity leave is to begin. The employee can opt to return to work any time after the end of the 35 day compulsory leave period up to the end of the 52-week period. The employee must give four weeks' notice to UCL Qatar if she intends to return to work earlier or later than previously notified.
2.3. If the employee chooses not to return to work or not to continue to work for at least three months after the period of maternity leave, UCL Qatar will normally reclaim the whole or part of the maternity pay.
2.4. Employees who have not given notice of their intention to return to work will not be entitled to occupational maternity pay.
2.5 In addition to the provisions of this procedure, UCL Qatar provides for one term of sabbatical leave without teaching commitments for research active academic staff returning from maternity leave, subject to qualifying length of service. This leave will enable staff to more quickly re-establish their research activity. Academics interested in this term should meet with the Director and complete the Sabbatical Term Expression of Interest form within four weeks of their return from maternity leave, as per the Sabbatical Leave Procedure (see www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/docs/sabbatical).
3.1 Notification of Pregnancy
An employee is required to notify her Line Manager by the end of the 15th week before the Expected Week of Childbirth or adoption (or, if that is not possible, as soon as is reasonably practicable) of their pregnancy and of their expected start date of maternity/adoption leave. The employee must provide a medical certificate from a medical practitioner which states that she is pregnant and the expected date of birth.
The Line Manager will then notify the Human Resources Division, who will send an application form and other relevant documents to the employee. The employee is then required to return the completed application form to the Human Resources Division, enclosing a copy of her medical certificate which confirms the Expected Date of Childbirth.
Within four weeks of the first notification of the pregnancy, the Human Resources Division will write to the employee to confirm the maximum amount of maternity leave, the pay she is entitled to and the date by which she is expected to return to work.
3.2 Entitlement Information
To obtain advice on entitlement to maternity leave employees should contact the HR Director.
3.3 Notification of Change of Start Date
Employees can change the date maternity leave is due to start by giving their Line Manager at least four weeks' notice (or, if that is not possible, as soon as is reasonably practicable). A new maternity leave application form will need to be completed and sent to the Human Resources Division.
3.4 Notification of Early Return
An employee must give at least four weeks' written notice if she intends to return to work earlier than previously notified (or, if that is not possible, as soon as is reasonably practicable). Employees should notify their Line Manager in writing and a copy of the letter should be sent to the Human Resources Division.
3.5 Keeping in touch days
Employees and their managers can agree up to 10 'Keeping in touch' days during a period of maternity leave. During these days an employee may attend work, undertake training or keep in touch with work developments through other means without bringing the period of maternity leave to an end. Either the Line Manager or the employee can suggest the use of this facility but they must be agreed by the manager. Line Managers will only agree to a 'keeping in touch' day when it is in UCL Qatar's interest and the day can be structured to ensure that it is used productively. Employees will be given time off in lieu (in the form of additional annual leave) for any keeping in touch days worked.
4 Rights during Maternity Leave
4.1 Continuity of Employment
Where an employee exercises her right of return to work, the whole of her absence shall be regarded as part of her period of continuous employment with UCL Qatar for the calculation of pension, benefits, accrual of annual leave and of entitlement to statutory rights.
4.2 Pension
For details of how your maternity leave affects your pension, please contact Payroll and Pension Services. Details of the contact person for your department are available on the Human Resources staff contacts page.
4.3 Salary Deductions
Where a member of staff has authorised salary deductions, Additional Voluntary Contributions or Give as You Earn, these payments will continue to be deducted during paid maternity leave. Unless instructed otherwise, UCL Qatar will continue to pay the individual's contributions during periods of unpaid maternity leave and these contributions will be recovered from future payments. If you wish to cancel any subscriptions whilst on maternity leave, please contact Payroll.
4.4 Annual Leave
Annual leave (including public holidays and UCL Qatar closure days) is accrued throughout the whole period of maternity leave. Any annual leave accrued during the current leave year may be used in lieu of any equivalent amount of unpaid maternity leave or taken in addition. Once an employee commences annual leave they will be deemed to have returned to work, therefore leave taken during the unpaid maternity period should be immediately preceding the return to work. An employee should exhaust her entitlement to annual leave, including accrued leave, by the end of the leave year after her return to work. Any carryover of leave must be by agreement with the Chief Operating Officer/ Director.
4.5 Granting of Maternity Leave
There shall be no distinction between live and stillbirths in the granting of maternity leave providing the pregnancy lasts for at least 24 weeks.
5 Commencement of Maternity Leave
5.1 When Maternity Leave Can Start
Maternity leave and pay can commence on any day from the start of the 11th week before the Expected Week of Childbirth.
5.2 Childbirth before the Intended Start Date
If childbirth occurs before the employee intended her entitlement to start, the maternity leave will start automatically from the day after the date of childbirth.
5.3 Pregnancy-Related Sickness
An employee who is absent from work due to a pregnancy-related reason after the beginning of the fourth week before the expected week of childbirth automatically triggers her maternity leave, in such cases the maternity leave will commence on the day after the first day of the absence. Any other sickness absence shall be dealt with under UCL Qatar's Sickness Absence procedure.
6.1 Compulsory Period of Maternity Leave
The legal minimum maternity leave which employees are required to take is 35 days commencing with the day on which childbirth occurs.
6.2 Antenatal Care
Employees are entitled to take paid time off during working hours for antenatal care.
6.3 Risk Assessment
The Human Resources Division will give a risk assessment form to every employee once they have been informed of their pregnancy. If it is found that the employee is carrying out work that may endanger her pregnancy, arrangements will be made to protect both the mother and the unborn child. This will involve the Line Manager.
6.4 Time off for Breastfeeding
All staff returning from maternity leave are entitled to one paid hour per day to breast feed their child up until a period of one year following the birth date of their child. The timing of these breaks shall be made by the female worker, in consultation with their line manager.
7.1 Maternity Pay
Maternity pay (if applicable) commences simultaneously with the beginning of the maternity leave period and is paid monthly in arrears (in the same way salary is paid).
7.2 Return to Work
On return to work after maternity leave, the employee is entitled to return to her prior position, or if the position no longer exists, a position for which s/he is qualified and suited nearest in status and in pay.
7.3 End of Employment
For employees who choose not to return to work the appointment will terminate on the last day of work. This is treated as a resignation.
8.1 Paternity/Partner's Leave, Parental and Adoption Leave
Details of UCL Qatar's paternity/partner's leave, parental leave, and adoption leave are contained within the UCL Qatar Leave for Domestic and Personal Reasons Guidance

London (Jan. 13)
The Polish Government-in-Exile today received the texts of two Nazi decrees ordering all Jews in the hundreds of cities and townships in Poland to move to 42 small townships designated as "Jewish residential localities"and to 13 ghettos in the districts of Warsaw, Radom, Lublin and Galicia.
The exodus of all Jews from other places in occupied Poland to the restricted areas was to be completed by December 1, 1942, the Nazi decrees provided. Any Jew found outside of the restricted "Jewish" townships and ghettos would be shot without trial, the orders warned. Non-Jews found guilty of feeding, housing, or aiding the Jews, or encouraging them to remain in the towns from which they were ordered to move would similarly be shot, the decrees stated. For not reporting the presence of Jews outside of the restricted "Jewish" areas, non-Jews would be sent to concentration camps.
The Nazi decrees also provide severe punishment for non-Jews found in the 42 townships and 13 ghettos which are to be inhabited by Jews only. Exceptions are to be made for those receiving special permission from the authorities. Similarly, Jews can leave the ghettos and the ghetto-townships only when they receive special permission, granted only to workers employed in war industries outside the restricted areas. Such workers are to be escorted by Nazi guards to their place of work where they are to be segregated from the non-Jewish laborers during working hours and returned to their ghettos at the end of the day under Nazi escort.
Jewish Councils responsible to the Nazi authorities for the conduct of the Jews have been established under the new decrees in all 42 "Jewish" townships and in the 13 ghettos in the larger cities. These Councils are also responsible for the food distribution in their localities. One of the Nazi decrees is dated November 1, the other is dated November 14, 1942. Jewish leaders from Poland now in England today expressed the belief that the complete segregation of all Jews in Poland in places isolated from the non-Jewish population has been motivated by the Nazi desire to prevent non-Jews from witnessing the Nazi extermination of the Jewish population.

Coming June 9, 2016, Here & Now listeners and visitors will experience our stories and journalism online in a whole new way.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops must be the only band with a new album that features both the banjo and a human beat box.
"Leaving Eden" is a collection of 15 original and cover songs that continues the Grammy Award-winning group's mission of not just playing old-time music, but playing with it.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops are also showcasing African American musicians who play string music, typically seen as a white genre.
"There's a lot of history of black string bands and African American people playing this type of music, which is generally considered white music," The Carolina Chocolate Drops' Dom Flemons told Here & Now's Robin Young. "We decided to… play the old time music and show that there are participants who are black and African American."
As The Washington Post puts it:
The musicians have become the most visible members of a revivalist movement that, by nature of its existence, is doing away with the cultural perception that old-time music is nothing more than the soundtrack of a racist South.

2012 Blackberry season is CLOSED
Due to the very hot weather and lack of rain, the blackberry season has ended and the farm is closed. The same warm weather that started the season early has brought it to an early end. There are no berries left that haven't shriveled up from the heat.
2012 Blackberry season is going to be EARLY !!!!!
The weather last year wiped us out and it may do it again if it doesn't start raining!!!
Last updated on June 2, 2012.
The farm is currently open for You Pick, starting today, June 2. We will be open 9am until noon on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday during the season.
Last updated on May 25, 2012.
Between the -26 degree freeze in February, 2011 and the HOT, DRY summer in 2011, we did not have a crop last year. But blackberry plants are hardy, so right now it looks like we may have enough berries to have U-pick in 2012. There are lots of green and red berries in the field right now, and they are turning black. In fact, we picked about a quart today, just walking around a little in the Ouachitas. (We also picked a bushel of green beans so we were too tired to pick very many.) I would have taken a picture of them to put on the web but we ate them too fast! They are a month early, so people better get them while they last. Give us a call if you want to come pick. Remember we do not get good phone reception at the farm, so leave us a message and we will try to call you back as soon as we can. We will not be having a regular picking schedule, because we cannot keep up with that schedule. We will not be going to farmers' markets or selling to wholesalers either. Old age has been hitting both of us hard. We do not currently have anyone working for us at the farm, so we have to cut back. Hopefully we will have someone in the near future. We will try to scale back this year and see where it takes us. I have left in the last update that was done last summer so you can kind of see what our situation is.
Previous update from July 18, 2011.
Five years ago when we started the blackberry farm, we agreed to commit ourselves, both physically and financially, to the effort for at least a 5 year period. It was mostly a whim. We old folks wanted to try a commercial crop and mayby entice the sons to the farm. Things have changed in many ways. Our oldest son is still in California and the younger one has now moved out there as well. We will be 70 and 71 years old by next spring, and we are not up to doing all the labor ourselves. We do not have the capital to continue putting money into the operation and NEVER making a profit. We can't afford to hire labor and pay operating cost. The state of Oklahoma has added insult to injury by creating the BAT (Business Activity Tax) which is a tax on people TRYING to make money in Oklahoma. You are taxed for trying even when you profit nothing. Maybe that is the straw that will break our backs. In the past 5 years Jack has had a pace maker and a couple of stints put in his heart so he can't use a weed eater or chain saw. He has poison ivy in his blood stream that breaks out when ever he gets hot and sweaty, even in winter.
We have talked it over and we will try one more year. The plants did not all die in the freeze; there are primacanes now that will have berries next year, God willing. Farming is always a gamble, but we know Who controls the dice. Maybe there is some younger person out there who wants to lease the field. Or maybe there are lots of people who want to lease a share of the field. If you have enjoyed the field in the past, give us some suggestions on how to continue the operation. At any rate, check us out next year.
GOD bless all of you, Jack and Dadreon Ritchie

2011 Blackberry season!!!
The 2011 crop will not be a large crop. There was a late freeze that hit -26 degrees!! We have never had a freeze like that in our life times. Now the near 100 degree temperatures in June are not helping either. We do have some berries but only time will tell how the crop will turn out. We opened to pickers in the Ouachita berries on Monday, June 20th and the ripe ones were quickly picked out. Of course more Ouachitas will continue to ripen and we expect the Apaches and Triple Crowns to begin ripening around June 27, 2011. Since we expect the crop to be smaller than usual, we suggest people check here first. If the site has not been updated within the past 5 days, you can call first, drop by the farm, or email us for updates. We are getting more inquiries all the time so please be patient if you do not get an immediate answer.
The 2010 season was our best crop to date. We had lots of people come for U-Pick and we had good success selling at farmers' markets and selling pre-picked berries at the farm.Back to top
The GOAL of Ritchie Blackberry Farm!!!
Do unto others as we would have them do unto us. That means grow the very best possible fruit we can; keep a clean and safe field that people will enjoy picking in; sell at a price people can afford and we can still cover our expenses.
We are trying several things to accomplish that goal.
1. We have a young man who is working for us part time now. He is making the work of maintaining the field alot easier for us since our sons are both living in california.
2. The 2011 prices all season will be at the July 4, 2010 prices. The U-pick price is $3.25 per quart and $13.00 per gallon. There is no discount for volume. The prepicked price at the farm will be $4.25 per quart and $17.00 per gallon. We pay pickers $1.00 per quart and we will continue that practice.
3. We will limit our farmers' market sales to Cherry Street Market in Tulsa, and the Ditch Witch company market(one time per year) in Ponca City. With only 2 of us it is very hard physically for one of us to get enough fruit to market to make it profitable and leave the other to run u-pick.
4. We will take orders from people who do not want to pick berries themselves. We try to match the volume we have our hired pickers pick with the orders coming in. In 2010 it was possible, because of the size of the crop, to have picked berries on hand to sell to people at the field. This year we would like our customers to order ahead of time so that we can hire people to pick the correct volume to always have the berries fresh and ready when the buyer comes for them. Berries are kept in the walk-in refrigerator until the buyer comes to pick them up. Sometimes when people come to the farm, there are pickers there that they can hire to pick for them on the spot.
5. Instead of going to farmers markets, we are considering advertizing in Tulsa, Stillwater, Oklahoma City, Ponca City and Bartlesville to deliver berries to prepaid customers in those towns on a rotating schedule. This depends on the size of the crop and the availability of pickers. This will be considered for the 2012 season.
6. We have planted a large garden with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, corn, okra, green beans, yellow squash, zucchini squash, and decorative gourds which we will try to sell at the farm if God favors us with good crops. This will not be U-Pick. We will keep an eye on store prices and be competitive.
7. Our Cherry orchard is growing nicely. There were not many berries this year, but we are hopeful for next. We also have some peach, plum, nectarine, and pear trees that will begin to produce in a year or so. When they do they will also be U-Pick.
8. We will not be getting a winery license because we do not have the time to devote to making wine. Our son has some insight into making blackberry wine and is willing to share that with anyone.Back to top
Farmer's Market price is $3.50 / pint and $6.00 / quart, $22.00/ 1 Gallon, $40.00/ 2 Gallons, $20.00/ each additional gallon.
U-Pick price is $3.25 / quart, $13.00/1st and each additional gallon
Pre-picked price at the farm is and $4.25 / quart, $17.00/1st and each additional gallon
These prices are less than what you would pay for blackberries in the stores and they have not been shipped hundreds or even thousands of miles. The U-Pick price for a quart is about what you would pay for a pint in a store, and the Pre-Picked price for a quart at the farm is still less than a quart in a store would cost. Even at Farmers' Market prices we still beat store prices. Remember, Blackberries are best when just picked!!!
Our U-PICK schedule.
Customers are allowed to come and pick their own fruit at the farm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday,and Saturday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and noon. Other times can be arranged if you will contact us first. We try to avoid the heat of the day for picking. The field is mowed, and there are no thorns or chiggers. The only snakes we have ever seen in or near the field are black snakes or king snakes. Both kinds are good to have around because they eat mice and other rodents and if you have them you are very unlikely to have rattlers or copperheads. The plants are trellised so there is very little bending. If for some reason we cannot have a scheduled picking the farm gates will be closed. Please respect the signs and do not enter when no one is available to assist you. Thank you for your cooperation.
Directions to the Farm.
We are located between Yale and Stillwater, North of highway 51 on Mt. Vernon Road. Mt. Vernon is 3 miles west of the highway 51 and highway 18 intersection and approximately 13 miles east of Stillwater. There is a Mt. Vernon Street sign on the south side of 51 but you turn North and there is no street sign on the North. The farm is 1/2 mile north of 51 on the west side of Mt. Vernon Rd. There is a sign near the farm gate. There are 2 highway signs, green on the front and silver on the back, one on either side of highway 51, that make Mt. Vernon Rd. easy to find. The west bound sign reads LEAVING PAWNEE NATION. The east bound sign reads ENTERING PAWNEE NATION. They are directly across 51 from each other and can be seen from quite a distance Be sure to turn north just EAST of the 2 signs.
If you are coming from Tulsa, you can take the Cimarron expressway, i.e. 412 through Sand Springs, go west to the Keystone Dam exit, after crossing the dam, go west on Highway 51 and follow the west bound directions given above.
If you are coming from Stillwater take 6th street east and you will be on highway 51. Follow the east bound directions given above.
If you are coming from the north or south take highway 18 to the intersection of 18 and 51 and turn west. Follow the west bound instructions given above.

Our History
In the spring of 2006, our sons, David and Jonathan Ritchie decided they wanted to start a vineyard. They wanted to raise grapes, but the old folks have a soft spot for blackberries. Also we were coming out of a couple of very bad drought years, and blackberries are more hardy than grapes, and late Oklahoma freezes don't affect blackberries as badly as grapes. In the spring of 2006 we burned the field and started planting. We sometimes think we have done everything wrong at least once, but we must be learning, because God blessed us with a beautiful field and we had a bountiful harvest in 2008. In 2009 we had about 9000 lbs of blackberries that summer even with the hot weather in June. Fortunately we irrigated. After farmers' market sales, and U-Pick, we still had enough left to produce several bottles of wine. In 2009 we planted a cherry orchard of about 30 trees near the blackberry field. In a few years they should be producing. We also have 10 peach trees since the nursery sent us peach trees instead of cherry trees on one order. We planted them in the late fall, and they were just sticks so we did not know what we had. Anyway peaches will add variety. We planted a few plums, apricots and 16 pear trees. They should all be producing in a few years except the pears. Pears take a long time so we are planting those for some future generation to enjoy when we are dead and gone.
In 2010 we had a HUGE crop and our U-Pick operation is getting better each season. One really nice thing happened; the Stillwater News Press newspaper did a feature article about our farm. It was a great article and introduced many new people to picking blackberries without thorns and chiggers.
We got the berry processing house built and functional, although it is not really finished yet.
As I said earlier, we planted blackberries because they are hardy and can survive late freezes. We are about to find out if that is true. We had a VERY HARD freeze this last winter. It had started to warm up a bit, and then we got up one morning and the thermometer said -26 degrees!!! That is colder than any weather we have ever experienced in our lives. We have alot of die back from that freeze and the drought is taking its toll. We will see what this year is like. It will not be as productive as last year, but then maybe GOD is giving us a breather. HE knows what we can handle.
Speaking of handling, we have lost our Number One helper to California. We went into this operation in the hopes that our older son would be enticed to move back to Oklahoma from California. As it turns out the younger son moved to California in January. We don't blame him. He is an aerospace engineer and not really a farmer, and the job was too good to pass up. (Pays alot better too!)Back to top

|Stick your right hand in and this is what you get. This was taken June 28, 2008. This and the next picture show you just a little of what you can pick standing in one spot.
|Stick you left hand in and this is what you get.
|This is a close-up of the Triple Crown Blackberries blooming. We have 3 different varieties of thornless blackberrie, Apache, Ouachita, and Triple Crown. The Apache variety is more up right and produces big long berries. The Ouachita and Triple Crowns are similiar, but the Ouachita plants are more up right, and produce a little earlier than the Triple Crowns. The Triple Crowns are more trailing but HEAVY producers. They all produce an abundance of excellent juicy fruit during June and July.
|This is a picture looking across the trellises. You can literally see the head of the Ritchie family just visible above the last row.
|This shows the Triple Crown Blackberries still green in early June 2008, but they were heavy with ripe fruit by July. There are lots of all three varities.
|This shows the apache blackberries turning red. They should be ripe by the 2nd or 3rd week of June.

|DeEtta came to pick and pick and pick!
|Lucille and DeEtta came together to pick. Lucille says she froze her berries on a cookie sheet and she takes a few out, thaws them and they are just as good as fresh picked.
|We package our berries in pints and quarts for resale in stores and at farmers' markets.
|There were several people who braved the rain and came to pick 4 gallons for $40 on the 4th of July. The rain was pretty steady all morning, but there was no lightening and it was cool.
|In the evening on July 4, 2009 we had a bonfire and fireworks. Seven of the grandkids were there and they loved it.

|After the wine party the family relaxed under the tent. It was nice weather, and the guest liked the open field.
|This is a teaser of things to come in a few years. These are cherries picked from one of our Cherry trees. We have transplanted 10 of these cherry trees to the farm and have planted 30 other cherry trees in 2008. We hope to have you pick cherries, both pie cherries and dark red cherries in 3 or 4 years. We have also planted 16 pear trees and 12 plum trees.
Oklahoma Farmers' Markets Where You can find Us.
We will probably attend only the Saturday morning Cherry Street Farmers' Market in Tulsa this year. Since there are just the 2 family members working the farm now it is very difficult for one of us to go to market and the other handle you-pick at the field. Our eventual goal is for us to have only you-pick or pre-picked berries sold at the field. If we decide to attend other markets we will post it here.Back to top
Blackberry Wine.
Jonathan Ritchie experimented making blackberry wine during the late summer and fall of 2008. He used several different recipes, including blackberry champagne type effervescent wine. The family sampled the various recipes and liked several of them. It is no secret that our family doesn't normally drink alcohol, so it is hard for us to tell what is good and what isn't. We have given away several samples to friends and family, and they all seem to like it. All have said they would buy it. Grandpa and Grandma like it best mixed with a little grapefruit juice--- gives it a tangy taste. It also was good to hear that red wine helps ward off Alzheimers disease. At our age we need all the help we can get. Since our sons have moved to California, we have decided not to get a winery license. If you are interested in making wine for yourself, it is a relatively simple process and legal to make for your own use. It doesn't take a whole lot of berries either. We have frozen berries to sell.
Frozen Blackberries.
We are currently building a commercial kitchen where we have a walk-in refrigerator and a chest freezer. We are planning on selling frozen berries as long as the crop holds out. We have frozen lots of berries, and if you take out a few at a time and let them thaw, they taste just like fresh berries. They don't go mushy like strawberries.

Republic of Ireland players celebrate their victory over Poland

Judy Zenge, Jacqueline Meck, Jackie Williams, Ann McKim, Doug Ward, Jeanette Rosier, Desiree Stevens, and Susan Fisher participated in Ketchikan's December cash mob. The mob, which visited Forget-Me-Not Sweater Shoppe, is a program designed to support local businesses in Ketchikan.
Story last updated at 2/19/2014 - 2:31 pm
There's a mob in Ketchikan.
Keep your fedoras and trench coats, put away torches and pitchforks.
This mob is carrying cash.
On Saturday, the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce will start the latest edition of its monthly Cash Mob. Forty or more people, organized in secret, will descend - cash and credit cards in hand - upon an unsuspecting Ketchikan business.
"They've been getting bigger and bigger," said Chelsea Goucher, executive director of the chamber. "It's really exciting. ... The owners have always been surprised, which is really fun."
The cash mob, which will hit its fourth victim on Saturday, is the brainchild of Judy Zenge, a former chamber president. She was inspired by a similar program in Phoenix, Ariz. Phoenix couldn't be much more different than the rainiest city in America, but the program has been an immense success.
Each month, the chamber's events committee picks a retail business. Chamber members spread the word in secret - usually on Facebook - and then ambush a business. Each attendee is asked to spend at least $20, and attendance has fluctuated between 20-50 people, Goucher said.
Ketchikan relies on the tourist trade, and that slows to a trickle in winter. "Our bookstore does surprisingly well in the offseason, but not well enough to be open year-round if we didn't have the summer revenue," said Parnassus Bookstore owner Charlotte Glover.
Glover's bookstore was invaded by the cash mob last month and said it was an awesome surprise. "It was a great vote of confidence for a new business and Ketchikan in the offseason," she said. "As far as revenue, it pretty much doubled our revenue for the week."
Glover, who took over the 28-year-old bookstore only seven weeks ago, said the mob was a huge boost to her confidence.
Ann McKim is a member of the chamber's events committee and said the event is a win-win for Ketchikan. "It's kind of bringing a little life downtown," she said.
The chosen retailers benefit, she said, and so does the chamber, which is picking up new retail members.
McKim said chambers of commerce are known for supporting industry, but this is a program that reaches out to mom-and-pop, brick-and-mortar stores that are sometimes overlooked.
In addition to bringing immediate revenue, the program encourages Ketchikan residents to drop into a store they may never have visited before. "A lot of the retail stores here in town, it's like people had never gone into them before," Goucher said.
She recalled an incident at Twisted Tree, victim of the first mob: "There was a guy saying, 'Oh, I never knew this store had purses, so now I know what to get my girlfriend.' That's another thing that the cash mob does."
So far, Ketchikan's cash mob is unique in Alaska. While it has contemporaries in the Lower 48, none have sprouted in the 49th state. Goucher said there's opportunity for that to change. "It could work anywhere, but I think for cities like Sitka and Juneau, it'd be really cool," she said.

A/N: Caught the first few episodes and I absolutely loved how dark and twisted this show was.
Warning: Course language.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I'm not making any money. I just like playing with emotions and characters.
To Be Numb
I felt numb, void of any emotion. I was just staring, staring blankly at the black coffin that held my wife. Karen, my beautiful wife. We were supposed to be happy. We were supposed to give birth to a healthy baby girl. I knew it was a girl, the doctor accidentally told me. Karen insisted that we didn't find out so I told the doctor not to tell her. But I knew. We lost our baby girl, because of a stupid car accident. I blamed myself for what happened, for letting the case get to personal. A part of me blamed Karen too just so I didn't feel so guilty. And now, Karen's gone, along with our baby.
The rain started to pour, fitting I guess for a funeral. The priest said a few more words but I wasn't really paying any attention. All I could think about was the last time I saw Karen. How angry we both were. How cruel and vile the last words that were spoken between us. She thought Becca and I were involved. Apparently Web told her we were. That two timing son of a bitch. And he had the audacity to show up to the funeral. Standing, high and mighty on his pedestal, he had his arm protectively draped around Becca's slim shoulders. Poor Becca. I felt sorry for her. She was so blind to Web's manipulations and lies. She actually looked up to the man. I seem to be the one who sees right through him. God only knows why everyone else is so blind.
I looked up from the coffin and my eyes met Becca's for a brief moment. She was holding a blood red rose in her hand. She stepped out from Web's grasp and started to walk towards me. I acknowledged her presence with a nod and turned my attention back to the coffin. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her drop the rose onto the casket. Her long blonde hair was matted to her face from the rain and the mascara on her lashes was already beginning to smudge. Reaching out, she patted my arm and was about to return to her place when I stopped her. Our eyes met again and I felt an odd rush of emotions wash over me. I took her into my arms and held her, letting the hot tears stinging my eyes flow down my already wet cheeks.
"Shhh," she whispered comfortingly. "You're okay, Paul, you're going to be okay."
Her hands were making small circles across my back as she continued to repeat her words over and over again. Although Becca's voice seemed distant, it was soothing all the same. The numbness faded to a dull pain. I slowly let go of Becca as the sobs that racked my body subsided. She smiled faintly at me, wiping away the stray bangs from her face.
"I'm sorry," I managed to choke out.
"Don't be," she replied. "You have nothing to be sorry for."
I looked over at Web who had a curious expression on his face. Becca followed my gaze over to Web and she shook her head.
"You have nothing to be sorry for," she repeated.

Skeptic's Bible Study counters Atheist Club
By Emmaline Epperson
Thursday, March 17, 2011
Formed in response to the "Galloway Atheist Club" some students attempted to start last semester, the newly formed Skeptic's Bible Study seeks to provide an outlet to better understand the Christian faith.
Getting directly to the point, [Pastor Everett] Henes began with the question, "Why do I believe in the presence of God?" From this initial question ensued questions from many of the students. . . .
Henes serves as the pastor of the Hillsdale Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The purpose for the study, he said, is to "give non-believing students a format where they could ask difficult questions about Christ."
Henes said the Bible study is not just for non-believers, as he believes that this study will also help Christians became stronger in their faith. . . .

Freshmen attempt atheist club, religious inquiry
By Liz Essley
Thursday, October 14, 2010
In Galloway Hall, a conversation is starting, and it's not about politics, classes or women. It is instead about a question: Does science make God unnecessary?
Seven freshmen — five of them Galloway residents — have united to form a friendship and, they hope, a club. The Galloway Atheists' Club, as it is called while the founders decide on an official name (the latest possibility is the Club for Religious Alternatives), still lacks Student Federation approval and a faculty adviser, but its members hope to get both soon. . . .
Club members wonder if official approval will be difficult, worried that Student Federation representatives may see the club as opposed to the Judeo-Christian values Hillsdale upholds in its mission statement.
The club has already met with opposition on campus. . . .
Most of the group's conversations so far circle around the issue of science and religion. . . .

Re: Musical in-wall speakers on a relative budget.
Thanks a million for all the info so far, I feel like I've hit the jackpot with all the advice you have given so far, I really appricaite it. The other forms are just full of people fighting with each other for no reason other than they've got nothing else to offer.
I will look for a place in San Diego where I can audition the Sonance in-walls. I will read about the subs you mentioned.
Regarding components (pre/pro/amp) what would you recommend I should be running these speakers from? I was looking at the new NAD T175 and also noting what ID company Emotiva has to offer and their good pricing.
Thanks once again....I've got a headache now thinking about all the hard work ahead of me in doing more research. it is fun though.
Tomorrow my Sony 46XBR4 goes up connected to my new Oppo 980H DVD player. Looking forward to that

Minchinhampton, Selsley and Rodborough commons cows return to graze
Drivers are being urged to look out for cows on three Gloucestershire commons after 12 of the animals were hit by vehicles last year.
About 500 cattle are expected to be released on Minchinhampton, Selsley and Rodborough commons - in an event known as marking day - from Tuesday.
Posters have been put up at the gates to the commons warning of the risks.
Driver safety manager Gary Handley said when cars and cows collide it is not always the cow that comes off worst.
"For several months now motorists may have made journeys on the roads that criss-cross the commons, seeing only the occasional golfer, horse and other wildlife," said Mr Handley.
"So it's vital that all users of the common are informed that cattle may be encountered, from marking day."
Farmer Bill Powell, whose cattle are released onto the commons every year, said: "It seems odd to some people to see cattle on unfenced properties, but grazing is the best way to keep the commons in good condition for everyone's benefit."

Second Thoughts: Game #138 Indians 7, Twins 6
|W: D. Huff (1-0) L: T. Robertson (1-2) S: C. Perez (35)
Player of the Game: Russ Canzler (3-for-4 with 1 HR and 3 RBI)
The Leadoff
It may have very well been the battle for last place, but there was certainly a nail biter of a finish as the Indians edged out their Central Division rival Twins Friday night, 7-6. The Tribe would collect a dozen hits in the ballgame and already pick up their fourth win in September.
Cleveland starter Jeanmar Gomez would get knocked around early by the Twins offense, giving up four runs on just three hits over three innings. The Indians right-hander has now yielded seven earned runs over 8 2/3 innings since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus.
The Top 9.
- Canz this! Did the Indians finally find their right-handed bat they have been looking for in Russ Canzler? Not saying the Tribe won't look for one this offseason, but I certainly think so. Canzler hit his first big league home run last night, a two-run bomb off Twins starter Liam Hendricks and also drove in three runs. Since being called-up to Cleveland Canzler has not disappointed, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with a double, homer and three RBI. And if that wasn't enough, he is currently on a five-game hitting streak, collecting at least one hit in each of the five games he has played. If he can keep up his hot streak and stay consistent, there's no reason why he cannot be the Indians starting first baseman or left fielder next season.
- Huff. I'll be completely honest, I wrote off David Huff as an option for the Indians not only for next season, but entirely as a member of the Tribe organization. He certainly proved me wrong last night as the big left-hander went 3 1/3 scoreless innings with four strikeouts out of the bullpen, sitting down all 10 batters he faced. Huff picked up his first win since Aug. 29, 2011. It also marked just the second time this season that an Indians left-hander notched a victory, the last coming from Nick Hagadone on June 19.
- Coming back from an early deficit. With the Tribe down 4-0 heading into the top of the fourth inning, the Indians would go to work and outscore Minnesota 7-2 over the final five frames. For a team 20-games below the .500 mark, it was great to see Cleveland not only comeback from the early deficit, but pick up the victory.
- Four Indians hitters with multiple hit games. Shin-Soo Choo, Michael Brantely, Jack Hannahan and Canzler each collected two or more hits on the night and combined to account for 10 of the Indians 12 hits on the night.
- Getting the leadoff man on base. It was great to see the Tribe jumpstart their offense early in innings, as the team would get their leadoff man on in five of the nine innings on Friday. There's no question this is what helped Cleveland the most last night, as they consistently put early pressure on the Twins leading to a nice September victory.
- Scoring more than three runs. After being held to three runs or less four consecutive times coming into Friday night's ballgame, the Indians scored seven runs on 12 hits last night as the offense went on a tear after being shutout over the first three innings.
- The Jason Kipnis affect. As I mentioned a few weeks back when the Tribe lost 11 games in row, Jason Kipnis is the player that gives the team success if he is producing at the plate. So goes Kipnis, so goes the Indians. In August we not only seen Cleveland post a record of 5-24, but the Tribe second baseman hit just .180 during the month as well. So far in September, the Indians have a 4-2 record and Kipnis hitting .346 (9-for-26) in the month, and is also quietly on a six-game hitting streak. Coincidence? I think so.
- Winning games on the road. There's no question the Indians have not played very well on the road this season, posting a 27-42 record in away games. Maybe the team has finally broke out of their losing ways away from Progressive Field, as Cleveland has now won three of their last four games on the road.
- Late September push. Say what you will about the Tribe not playing meaningful games in September, but the team has not given up winning four of their first six games already this month. I think it's safe to say Cleveland will win more than five games this month. In all seriousness though, it's nice to talk about Indians wins for once.
- Perez picks up another save. Despite giving up a run in the ninth inning, Tribe closer Chris Perez notched his 35th save of the season moving him one save away from tying his career-high mark of 36 he set in 2011. He is now 2-for-2 in save opportunities since returning from paternity leave this week.
The Bottom 3
- Not stopping Willingham. The damage Twins outfielder Josh Willingham has done against the Indians this season disgusts me. Not only has he hit three home runs against Cleveland this season, but Willingham has also drove in 13 runs against the Wahoo's, the second most RBI against any team in 2012. Yes, Perez, there's no question Willingham would look great in an Indians uniform. What if?
- Letting the Twins back in the ballgame late. With the Tribe up 7-4 going into the bottom of the eighth inning, setup man Vinnie Pestano and eventually Perez in the ninth inning would both give up one run apiece to Minnesota late in the game. What usually is a routine scoreless outing for both bullpen stars ended up turning into a surprising rough finish, something that you won't see too often.
- Leaving 11 men on base. In what ended up being a one-run ballgame between both Central Division rivals last night could have been much different if the Indians would have been more clutch with runners on base. Yes, the Tribe went 5-for-15 (.333) with runners in scoring position, but it's hard to give any team much credit on the base path when they leave a double-digit amount of players on the bases.
Closing Time
With an Indians victory Friday night, Cleveland (59-79) moves three games ahead of the last place Twins in the A.L. Central Division. It's hard to believe, but Saturday already marks the 17th anniversary of the Indians winning the 1995 Central Division title against the Baltimore Orioles, the team's first Division title since 1954.
Up next for the Indians: Cleveland will try and take the three-game series with Minnesota on Sunday, as it will be Zach McAllister (5-6, 4.26 ERA) against Cold De Vries (4-5, 4.41 ERA) at 7:10 p.m. McAllister, made just one start against the Twins this season when he went just 1 2/3 innings giving up nine runs (two earned) back on August 6. The Indians righty is 0-2 with a 7.63 ERA over his last three starts. Minnesota rookie right-hander De Vries has never faced the Tribe in his career, and is 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA over his last three starts.

Recently there was in interest in the lopi sweater featured in a book by handknitting.com in Lopi Book 31, #13.
I think it was Trevor who wanted to know if he could get the book/pattern mailed to his region of New Zealand. Sorry, Trevor if I have mixed you up with someone else.
At any rate, I kept digging and emailed the book publisher and after I heard that the pattern wasn't owned by handknitting.com, but in fact, it is owned by Isex and was only licensed for print by handknitting.com, I thought I'd check out Isex. To my surprise and delight, I found that the pattern is offered free at:
I hope this helps others. It was a fun little research project.
Wow! Thanks so much for
Wow! Thanks so much for that, Mark! That's amazing that you found that. Thanks so much for all the trouble you took to get it. There's a sweater inside me that's waiting to get out. This could be the one... Tom

In the months since Wal-Mart announced its interest in entering the District of Columbia, it has escaped serious legislative scrutiny.
But Council member Phil Mendelson (D-At Large) is looking to change that. Today, he introduced a pair of bills that would put rails on any retailer looking to locate a store of 75,000 square feet or more in the city. That threshold appears to just encompass the smallest of the four proposed Wal-Marts.
One bill would require such retailers to enter into a "Community Benefits Agreement" with a "broad-based coalition of individuals and entities that are reflective of the community in which the retail store is located." Neighborhood groups have been seeking such agreements with Wal-Mart, but while the retailer has promised to be generous to the community, it has been reticent to ink any deals.
The second bill "declares that it is the policy of the District to promote living wage jobs to help working families make ends meet and protect the health, safety and welfare of our community." To that end, any retailer whose parent company grosses $1 billion or more (Wal-Mart took in $258 billion in fiscal 2010) and wants a store of, again, at least 75,000 square feet would have to pay employees a "living wage" rate, set initially at $11.75 an hour and indexed to the regional Consumer Price Index. Benefits could be counted toward that rate, which would apply equally to any subcontractors hired by the retailer.
Does this have any chance of becoming law? Doesn't look good at the moment. Mendelson is a reliable backer of area labor groups, and they have been pushing politicos to get tough with Wal-Mart. But it's unclear how many of Mendelson's union-loving colleagues will join him.
The community benefits bill went to the Economic Development Committee, chaired by Harry Thomas Jr. (D-Ward 5), who has been fairly stalwart in support of both organized labor — and of Wal-Mart. The living wage bill is headed to the Workforce Development panel headed by Michael Brown (I-At Large), who has thus far been unwilling to schedule a general hearing on Wal-Mart but also styles himself a friend of unions. Standing on the other side for Wal-Mart's interests are a coterie of experienced Wilson Building lobbyists, not least of which is the formidable David W. Wilmot.
Here are the bills:

V.P. Singh to be cremated at Sangam todayNovember 29th, 2008 - 12:19 pm ICT by ANI
Allahabad, Nov 29 (ANI): Former Prime Minister V P Singh who passed away on Thursday afternoon after a prolonged illness, will be cremated at the Sangam in Allahabad today.
Singh''s body was flown here by a special aircraft on Friday afternoon.
His eldest son Ajeya Singh will perform the last rites.
Prominent leaders expected to attend Singh''s funeral include West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and actor-turned MP Raj Babbar.
The Central Government had announced a seven-day state mourning from Friday as a mark of respect to him.
Born on June 25, 1931, Singh was the tenth Prime Minister of the country from December 2, 1989 to November 10, 1990.
Singh gained wide publicity notoriety for his decision to implement the recommendations of the Mandal Commission which suggested that a fixed quota of all jobs in the public sector be reserved for members of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs). This controversial decision led to widespread protests by youth in urban areas across north India.
Singh entered local politics in Allahabad during the Nehru era and soon made a name for himself in the state Congress Party for his unfailing rectitude, a reputation that he would carry along with him throughout his career.
He was a Member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly (MLA) from 1969-71.
In 1980, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi appointed him as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh after the Congress returned to power following the collapse of the Janata Party Government.
As the chief minister, Singh cracked down hard on dacoity, or banditry, a problem that was particularly severe in the rural districts of south-western Uttar Pradesh.
He received national publicity when he offered to resign following a self-professed failure to stamp out the problem, and again when he personally oversaw the surrender of some of the most feared dacoits of the area in 1983.
Singh floated an opposition party named the Jan Morcha Together with associates Arun Nehru and Arif Mohammad Khan.
He was re-elected to Lok Sabha in a tightly contested by-election from Allahabad, defeating Anil Shastri.
On October 11, 1988, the birthday of the original Janata coalition''s spiritual leader Jayaprakash Narayan, the Janata Dal was formed by merger of Jan Morcha, Janata Party, Lok Dal and Congress (S), in order to bring together all the centrist parties opposed to the Rajiv Gandhi government.
And, V. P. Singh was elected the President of the Janata Dal. A federation of the Janata Dal with various regional parties including the MK, TDP, and AGP, came into being, called the National Front (India), with V. P. Singh as convener and N. T. Rama Rao as President.
V.P.Singh in personal life cherished painting, photography and poetry.
Brought up as a single child guarded by two gunmen, with guardians and tutors to educate him, it was evident that V. P. Singh was to develop an affinity to the written word and the visual forms of things around him. This helped to develop both the poet and the artist in him
Singh began his artistic career by becoming an accomplished photographer. His process of development began as a "camera shikari". Starting with a box camera, he shot images of flowers, animals, people and landscapes. Later he picked up more sophisticated cameras and even made home movies.
In 1957, Singh took part in the Bhoodan-Aandolan and donated his farm house of Pasana Village (Allahabad). (ANI)

Late last Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released two funding announcements on sexuality education that included language focused on LGBT and questioning youth. For the first time, language in the funding announcements for federal sexuality education dollars encouraged states to consider "the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth" and asked states to ensure that programs funded with these dollars are "inclusive of and nonstigmatizing toward" LGBT and questioning participants. HHS also required that funding must be medically-accurate in both programs and that any statements that reflect values-based opinions must be labeled as such.
Friday's grant announcements cover both the newly created Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which supports comprehensive, evidence-based efforts to prevent teen pregnancy and reduce sexually-transmitted infections, as well as abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. Both efforts were funded through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, with million dedicated to PREP efforts and million to support abstinence-only. HRC has long opposed federal funding for abstinence-only programs because they exclude, or even denigrate, LGBT students, while at the same time failing to provide all young people with the tools they need to live healthy lives. Since 1996, Congress has spent almost .5 billion on abstinence-only programs, despite a wealth of evidence that they are ineffective.
Because only Congress can act to end funding for abstinence-only programs, HRC recommended, as part of the Blueprint for Positive Change, that in the meantime HHS could require recipients of federal funding for sexuality education to ensure that the programs acknowledge LGBT youth and the difficulty presented by an abstinence-only message when most states, and the federal government, do not recognize marriage equality. HHS's inclusion of LGBT youth in Friday's funding announcements, as well as its requirement that abstinence-only programs be medically accurate, are positive steps. But the real solution is for Congress to stop funding disproven programs and instead support comprehensive sexuality education that empowers students, LGBT and straight alike, to live healthy lives.

Crisp fall weather and some Friday night lights. It's a great combo at Colleyville Heritage High School.
Sprinkle in homecoming and parents Sheri and Chad Thompson are pretty stoked.
"We're very excited - yeah - very proud," Chad Thompson said.
"I looked at him and told him this was always my dream for one of my kids to get this opportunity," Sheri Thompson said.
Their son Jaydan, in his senior year, was named homecoming king on Friday. Pretty good for a kid that couldn't walk a month ago.
"It's been hard to come to school because I've been so busy with my journey," Thompson said. "Fighting this cancer."
When Jaydan found out late in his freshman year he had osteosarcoma – a cancer that attacks his bones – it ended his football playing days. He stayed on the field as "Buster" the Panther for Heritage High.
However, in the last six months there have been more challenges as his cancer spread.
A tumor took hold on his neck, impinging on a nerve which took away his ability to walk. Just before surgery earlier this summer in Dallas to remove the tumor, in great pain, Jaydan flashed what he calls his "warrior fist."
"We are warrior strong," Thompson explained. "We'll never stop fighting - we'll keep going and never stop."
Jaydan says cancer will not stop him either even if his odds of beating it are next to impossible. Friday night was about the possible -
"He's always been inspirational people," his father said. "He's always had a tender heart, always been a ferocious warrior. I'm just so thankful for him and his leadership. I couldn't be a prouder dad."
And it's good to be king.

Attitude to me is more important than facts.

than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.
It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past ...
we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the string we have,
and that is our attitude.

and 90 percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you ...
we are in charge of our attitudes.

There's an old (albeit imaginary) adage in the game's industry: If it can play games, Madden will undoubtedly follow. EA Sports is rushing Apple's App Store with a brand new game that takes full advantage of the iPhone's (and iPod's) touch screen. Unlike the console variants, the handheld Madden 10 experience is more accessible to the casual player. Beginners will be able to get by without thinking about the playbook, as the game automatically recommends appropriate plays. The action slows down when the quarterback has the ball, and color-coded icons appear on the screen, indicating the likelihood of making a completion.
In our brief time with the game, it was clear that EA Mobile placed a lot of effort into ensuring Madden could be played in short bursts: not only does the game launch within seconds from the iPhone menu, the game auto-saves after every play, allowing players to stop and resume a match any time they want. Hardcore football fans are likely to appreciate the added depth that casual gamers wil avoid: there are 2000 players in the game, voiced (tinny) commentary from John Madden, and a feature called "Hot Route" which allows players to manually draw plays to carry out. A ridiculous number of stats are also tracked by the game with full sorting, so you can know exactly who has the highest 3rd down conversion ratio in the league.
The game will be available for $9.99 in the App Store, though you can snag it for a discounted $7.99 today. We've been told that multiplayer is being worked on, as well as DLC, such as roster updates and "authentic jerseys."

On a recent IRC discussion Pat discussed Slackware's future and the restructuring that will happen for Slackware 11. Regarding the removal of Gnome from Slackware, he said: "GNOME is not easy to build into packages, lacks decent documentation to build, and requires many undocumented system changes for things to work 100%".

Personally I'm a Slackware and GNOME fan...but I always install dropline right away anyways... I really think its a good move by Pat since most people who used GNOME on slackware already use Dropline anyways. ^_^
I can't wait for a new Slackware!
