Washington County soon will be hiring someone for a new position within its Division of Emergency Services. The county Board of Commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a proposed modification of the currently vacant emergency services coordinator job to create the position of assistant director of emergency medical services operations. The now-approved position change will include a pay raise from the county's Grade 12 level to a Grade 14, which coincides with the increased duties and responsibilities the former position accrued since the county took it over in 2006 from the Washington County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association, according to emergency services Director Kevin Lewis.

The man charged with causing the traffic accident that resulted in the death of Washington County Emergency Medical Services Director Brigitte Heller last year was pulled over for speeding a little more than an hour before the fatal collision occurred, according to Maryland online court records. Jeffrey Daryl Neuman Jr., 18, of 14800 View Way Court in Glenelg, Md., was stopped in Worcester County by Maryland State Police at about 6:16 a.m. on June 14, 2012. The trooper from the Berlin barrack who made the stop on U.S. 50 near Snow Hill issued him a citation alleging he was driving 86 mph in a 55 mph speed zone, the website shows . About 75 minutes later and roughly 70 miles away, the BMW that Neuman was driving crossed the center line on U.S. 50 in Talbot County and crashed into the SUV being driven by Heller, police allege.

A request to change the title and increase the pay of a currently vacant Washington County emergency services position to better align with the job's responsibilities, and to hire a new person to fill the vacancy, drew mixed reviews from county leaders last week. It also raised concern from officers of at least two county volunteer EMS companies, who said they were not consulted or even notified of the request made by county Division of Emergency Services Director Kevin Lewis. Smithsburg EMS Chief James Ulrich, who serves as acting chairman of the Washington County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association's EMS committee, said Friday that he and others from volunteer companies did not learn of the proposal until they saw a copy of the agenda a few days before last Tuesday's meeting of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
March 12, 2013
A lot of misinformation surrounds fire company To the editor: The discussion that surrounds the situation over Fairplay Volunteer Fire Department needs to be more closely reviewed. I have seen too many incorrect letters to the editor, too many questionable acts by Washington County Commissioners, biased opinions published by this newspaper, biased selection of task force members and, most notably, the biased opinions of Kevin Lewis.   In my opinion, every action by The Herald-Mail, most county commissioners, the task force and a few of the overvocal members of some other fire departments have no other goal than the total destruction and elimination of the volunteer fire department in Fairplay.

A long-delayed comprehensive fire protection plan for Washington County, with the aim of increasing efficiency of operations while accommodating future growth, is under way, according to Kevin Lewis, director of the county's Division of Emergency Services (DES). “We have to look into the future,” Lewis said Friday, noting the county's goal of ensuring that “the same programs that are being delivered in one area are being delivered across all areas.” “It's imperative that this is not just a DES initiative,” he said.

The Preps : Memorable State Tournament Moments

March 19, 1985|Pat Cannon

For the most part, sportswriting is a job like any other job, except for the punctuation. Painting word pictures can be exhilarating, or as tedious as the multiplication tables. The memories of each event resemble the yield of a fishing expedition. Many are thrown back as too small or insignificant, but some are keepers. Fortunately, a trip to last weekend's state basketball tournament produced mostly keepers.

Picture: Crenshaw guard David Carter dribbles near the top of the key, his eyes searching the baseline for an open teammate. He stops, arching a lob pass well above the center of the basket. No one is in view.

Suddenly, forward Dion Brown rises from the lane like a rocket, soaring two feet above the rim, and without ever seeing the basket, slams down a powerful dunk.

The crowd is delirious and the Northern California press corps never again mentions that Logan, Crenshaw's opponent, has some real leapers.

Picture: Logan guard Kevin Mouton, heading for the University of Oregon in the fall, races for a loose ball, three Crenshaw defenders in hot pursuit. He reaches the ball and instantaneously throws a perfect full-court pass to a teammate for a layup. It's not particularly difficult when you're looking downcourt, but Mouton was facing the other basket.

Picture: The buzzer sounds, Crenshaw is a 72-62 winner and seniors Carter and Stanley Brundy share a high five and a hug. Their smiles are almost as big as teammate Stephen Thompson's feet.

Thompson, who may eventually rival Bob Lanier's popularity with shoe salesmen, is nicknamed Foots.

Picture: It is Sunday morning, less than 12 hours after Coach Willie West has won his second state basketball championship in three years, and he is strolling leisurely through the Oakland Airport, still carrying the huge trophy symbolic of his team's thrilling victory. He is all smiles, sharing an animated conversation with Troy Batiste, Saturday's hero, whose critical steal sent the game into the extra period.

Onlookers point, wave or approach and offer congratulations.

"The second time is definitely better," said West, whose team finished 24-0 and gave him his first perfect season since 1973. "The first time you don't appreciate how difficult it is to win the state. To come here and win is special."

Snapshots: Point Loma's talented sophomore, Terri Mann, arms raised in triumph after leading her team to its second straight state girls' championship. . . . The boys from Avenal, small in stature, with no starter over 6-1, scrapping, clawing and scratching to stay close against Folsom in a game it could have lost by 50. . . .The Commissioners of the various sections presenting championship trophies and knowing that if the Southern Section had not voted to drop out of the tournament, Commissioner Ray Plutko might have been standing at center court as many as four times.

Jim Barnett, football coach at Long Beach Poly since 1980, will be named the coach at Trabuco Hills High, a new school in Mission Viejo.

Trabuco Hills Principal Bill Brand had narrowed his list of applicants last week to two--Barnett and Cal State Long Beach assistant Steve Bresnahan. Over the weekend, he made a recommendation to the school board, which will vote on Brand's selection next Monday night.

Brand would not confirm that he had recommended Barnett, saying that it would be improper until the board had voted.

But it was learned that Barnett had been contacted Sunday and informed of the decision. Barnett, reached in Long Beach, would neither confirm, nor deny the report.

Bresnahan also refused to comment, but when asked if he would be back at Long Beach next season, he said, "I would certainly think so."

Barnett led Poly to a 10-2 record in 1984, losing to eventual Big Five champion Riverside Poly in the semifinals. The Jackrabbits reached the Big Five final in 1982, losing to Servite, 31-7.

Hawthorne track Coach Kye Courtney, who has won two state boys' titles in a row, is never satisfied. Last Saturday at Cal State Los Angeles, his sprint relay team of Henry Thomas, Michael Marsh, Michael Graham and Sean Kelly set an automatically timed national record of 3:21.15. It is regarded as the second best of all-time, since Berkeley ran a hand timed 3:21.1 in 1981.

"To tell you the truth I was a little disappointed," Courtney said. "I thought Henry (the defending state 100- and 200-meter champion) would go a little faster. I figured we'd be in the 19s."

Courtney may get his wish in April when the Cougars run the event again in the Mt. San Antonio Relays.

City Gop Candidates Propose Mall Changes

October 04, 1985|by DAVID M. ERDMAN, The Morning Call

Republican City Council candidates and Republican candidate for mayor Charles Theisen formed a united front against their Democratic counterparts last night, arguing that Allentown really is not "on the move" and proposing solutions as radical as closing Hamilton Mall to traffic 24 hours a day.

The differing views were offered in East Allentown at the Midway Manor Community Association Candidates Night in Midway Manor Moravian Church.

"When I go down the Hamilton Mall, I cry," said Republican council candidate Fuad E. Jarrah, an engineer and turnpike toll collector.

Jarrah proposed that the mall be closed to traffic and that Linden and Walnut streets be made two-way thoroughfares.

Richard A. Miller, another Republican and an insurance agency owner, said, "Some frightening things are happening in the city."

On the mall, Miller said, "We have to get rid of the undesirables." He said, "there are too many characters."

Theisen said the area in which he lives, the 600 block of N. 7th Street, "is noisy and it's dirty." He advocated that litter cans be installed around his neighborhood.

Theisen, a sales representative for Rileigh, Gander & Showalter Inc., Emmaus, advocated that the next mayor of Allentown "will have to go directly to firms" to lure them to make their base in the city. "The mayor can't expect to write letters and get results."

And the incumbent Democrats had their turn.

"Everything every one of these candidates has said they would do, we are doing," said Daddona. "And thank God, we are doing it, or we would be like other downtowns that are boarded up and bombed out."

Councilman Benjamin Howells Jr. said what he believes is the answer to drawing shoppers downtown is already being advocated by the current council, and that is the establishment of a separate agency to manage the mall under an arrangement similar to the way the suburban malls are run.

Councilwoman Barbara C. Irvine said the "danger" on Hamilton Mall is "perceived" and not "actual" and, added Daddona, "Do you know there is more crime on the suburban malls' parking lots during shopping hours than there is on Hamilton Mall during shopping time?"

Councilman Frank J. Palencar invited the audience of about 25 to "take a walk in the downtown . . . There is nothing wrong with it." Palencar noted rehabilitation projects such as Hamilton Financial Center and a new office center and parking area going up on N. 7th Street as well as the conversion of the old Zollinger's department store into the Sovereign Building of offices.

Attorney Mark Van Horn, who has served as president of the Old Allentown Preservation Association, said the city's downtown has the ability to attract people. Citing himself as an example, he said he chose his home "four blocks from the mall." Van Horn called for development along the Lehigh River for retail and recreation areas.

Daddona and Theisen were in agreement on one thing - Councilman Howells advocacy of the land value tax proposal, the principal of placing more of the property tax burden on land than on buildings in the city to spur development of vacant land. Daddona vowed to veto any such proposals from council. Remarked Theisen on the proposal, "Why even mention it? I think it's absurd."

Attorney William K. Malkames, another Republican council candidate, also said he is firmly opposed to shifting any more taxes to business.

Theisen said he wanted to hire 10 full-time officers to walk beat patrols. The city recently instituted a volunteer program whereby pairs of police officerstake foot patrols.

Daddona said Theisen's proposal would be unaffordable. Daddona said he has proposed hiring 10 more policemen but at a rate of two every year for the next five years. He also said he would fight to keep the foot patrols voluntary.

How to avoid lightning strikes

  • A bolt of lightning striking Allentown an August 2011 storm.
A bolt of lightning striking Allentown an August 2011 storm. (MICHAEL KUBEL / MORNING…)
August 06, 2012

The National Weather Service offers this advice for avoiding lightning strikes.

Cancel or postpone activities if thunderstorms are expected.

• Monitor weather conditions and seek safe shelter before the weather turns threatening.

•Safe shelters include fully enclosed buildings and fully enclosed vehicles. Unsafe shelters include open garages, patios, pavilions, tents, baseball dugouts and sheds. Unsafe vehicles include convertibles, golf carts, motorcycles, bicycles and boats without cabins.

• Once inside an enclosed building, stay away from showers, sinks, bath tubs, and electronic equipment such as TVs and computers.

•While inside a vehicle, do not use electronic devices such as radios.

•Don't assume that a thunderstorm is far away. Lightning can strike more than three miles from a storm's center. A bolt from the blue— a cloud-to-ground flash— can hit 10 to 15 miles from the storm.

•If someone is electrocuted, it is safe to render aid such as CPR. You will not be electrocuted too.

•Figure out a safe shelter ahead of time, especially if you are coaching sports, at a beach or lake, golfing or camping.

•If a safe haven is not close by, avoid standing under tall trees, in open fields or on the top of a hill. Stay away from water sources, wet objects and anything made of metal.

Liquid In Water-packed Tuna Has Little Nutritional Value

November 6, 1986|By Jean Mayer and Jeanne Goldberg, Washington Post Writers Group

QUESTION: I have always bought water-packed tuna. Recently I noticed that the liquid it was packed in contained ''vegetable broth.'' Am I discarding nutrients when I drain the packing liquid down the sink?

ANSWER: Packers of canned tuna are allowed the option of using vegetable broth as a seasoning in the packing liquid. Under the Standard of Identity that broth must contain at least 0.5 percent of extractives from two or more of a number of common vegetables, including beans, cabbage, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, parsley, peas, potatoes, red and green bell peppers, spinach and tomatoes. However, the amount of broth used is not large and does not make an important contribution to the diet.

Losses of essential nutrients resulting from draining are generally considered to be small.

By contrast, appreciable amounts of sodium or monosodium glutamate or both are dissolved in the packing liquid -- unless you buy one of the varieties that is packed without salt -- and these will be discarded when the fish is drained. For individuals trying to reduce their salt intake, that is all to the good.

Q: Recently a friend served a cheese called ''gjetost.'' It looked more like caramels than cheese, but tasted quite pleasant. Is this a new type of cheese?

A: No. Gjetost (pronounced yay-toast) is native to Norway, where it has been the national cheese for more than 100 years. It is unusual in that it is one of the few cheeses made from whey rather than casein-rich curds. Gjetost may be made solely from goat's milk or from a mixture of 10 percent goat's milk whey and 90 percent cow's milk whey.

Nutritionally it is somewhat different from other cheeses. In addition to the lactose naturally present in whey, more is added during the production.

So an ounce of cheese, which does not have a sweet, caramel-like flavor, contains as much carbohydrate as a glass of milk, but less than half the protein you would get from either the milk or an ounce of other hard cheeses. The fat content, 8 grams per ounce, is comparable to that in other common cheeses, including Edam, fontina or Swiss. If wrapped tightly, it will keep a long time in the refrigerator.

Q: In discussions of nutrition and exercise of long duration, it is pointed out that it is important to conserve the muscle glycogen, which I understand is stored carbohydrate. Yet I have always thought that animal flesh does not contain glycogen. Is animal muscle different from human muscle?

A:. No. In fact, those who process meat have learned that it is important to rest animals before slaughter so that they will actually build up their muscle glycogen reserves. However, after slaughter this glycogen does not remain inert. It is converted to lactic acid, which acts as a mild preservative and enhances the keeping quality of the meat while it is in cold storage.

Indeed, if animals are exercised or excited prior to slaughter, they use up their glycogen reserves and the keeping quality of the meat is impaired. Interestingly, one of the factors that causes fish to deteriorate more rapidly than beef is that fish struggle after they are caught. They use up almost all the glycogen in their muscles, and the potential preservative effects of lactic acid is virtually eliminated.

Q: Is popcorn a good snack for a dieter?

A: For people who are watching their weight and at the same time enjoy getting a fair amount of chewing for their calories, popcorn is a good snack choice.

Three cups of plain popcorn contain 75 calories, around the same as a slice of bread. It also provides some protein, as well as small amounts of B vitamins and iron. As for fiber, these three cups would give you 3 grams, close to what you would get from two slices of whole wheat bread or 2/3 cup of brown rice.

Plain popcorn is one thing. The nutrition picture changes if the popcorn is drenched in butter or swimming in salt, or both.

What is Ubuntu(Linux Kernel)?

Toady i am going to give basic information all about Ubuntu.Ubuntu is one of the cleanest and most widely used Linux distribution, well-suited for average users. You don’t need to be a labeled Geek to install and use Ubuntu. It’s quite easy to get along with it – you would love it from the first sight!

Desktop A Complete Guide for Switching to Ubuntu

Ubuntu Desktop

Below is an easy tutorial that’ll help you to install Ubuntu on your PC. Before you move on, it’s recommended that you go through the official system requirements.

Basic Requirements

  • 1 GHz x86 processor
  • 1GB of system memory (RAM)
  • 15GB of hard-drive space (although this can be split onto 2 drives, a 5Gb / and a 10Gb /home fairly easily)
  • Graphics card and monitor capable of 1024 by 768
  • Either a CD/DVD Drive or a USB port (or both)

Just in case your PC doesn’t have it all for Ubuntu, there’s a minimalist version – Xubuntu. It runs on as low as 128MB RAM and 2GB of drive space. So if you’ve got those decades old boxes anywhere in your home, you can bring them back to life.

Let’s Begin – Installation

As expected the first step is to burn the ISO to the CD or you can get in pen drive also. Download the ISO from download link give below. You can use tools such as Free iso or cd burner by clicking here

Click here to download

to easily burn it onto a disc. In case you don’t fancy discs, you can even use Universal installer link mentioned below to use a Flash Drive instead!

Click here for download

Once you have the required LiveCD/USB in your hands, just boot it up and get going with the installation. Different systems have different keys to select a boot device on start (for me it’s F8). If you have difficulty in finding the key then directly get into the BIOS and look for “Boot Devices” and set things accordingly.

Things are all set and you’re ready to roll. Boot the device and Ubuntu flash-screen would appear shortly. You’d get a bunch of options as shown below:

1 A Complete Guide for Switching to Ubuntu

Ubuntu Welcome Screen

Choose your language and proceed to “Install Ubuntu”. If you want to try it out before installing, you can use the “Try Ubuntu” option as well.

Preparation is the next step of the process, plug in your charger, connect to internet (for downloading updates) and check you have at least 2.6GB of free space on your drive for basic Ubuntu install.

2 A Complete Guide for Switching to Ubuntu

Ubuntu Install Preparation

And you can also install Ubuntu by pen drive just you need is a software you can download her by clicking

Click here to download

Moving on towards diskspace allocation, you can choose between installing Ubuntu alongside your existing OS (for instance, Windows), installing Ubuntu on a complete hard-drive or choosing the partition manually.

Make your choice and proceed. Follow the rest of on-screen instructions, they’re written in human language for your convenience.

Ubuntu Basics

The biggest fear of all Ubuntu-switchers is that being a supporter of the Tux, they’ll have to struggle to get software that were easily available on their previous OS. This is true that most of the mainstream softwares aren’t available for Ubuntu but at the same time, there are alternatives. Using the Ubuntu Softare Center, you can easily look for applications that you require. For example,Photosop can be substituted by GIMP,Microsoft by OpenOffice, MS Paint by KolourPaint, etc.

Ubuntu comes pre-installed with Open office. It supports a wide variety of formats, the OpenOffice formats being the default ones. It has Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation & Formula in the default package.

Ubuntu being an open-source project has lot of applications for free which would cost you on other OS like windows By switching to Ubuntu you’ll be saving a significant amount of money that was meant to be spent on security programs, office suites, etc.

My Experience with Ubuntu

The motivation to switch to Ubuntu permanently and use it as the default OS came to me trhough Microsoft Windows Well, it’s the most widely used OS and is supported by all the softwares and Games in the market and the hardwares too, but I just find it not upto the mark. The worst problem is viruses. You have lots of them on Windows. Then the usual crashes and hangs. I was just fed up enough to say goodbye to it forever.

I’m in Love with Ubuntu: its GNOME GUI, Productive applications, virus-free environment and smooth functioning. Ubuntu’s start up and shut down speed is remarkable! For me it takes exactly 3 seconds to shut it down, which might go like more than 20 seconds on Windows

Talking about bugs, I haven’t found any yet. There are updates to the OS every week and there’s a supportive community to help you out if you need assistance.

Ubuntu supports multiple workspaces. In other terms, it’s like having multiple desktops. They’re four by default and can be increased or decreased according to your whims. It is highly customizable with the GNOME GUI. You can add panels, hook your favorite applications right in front of your eyes and add shotcuts.

Ubuntu One – Cloud Storage

Ubuntu One is a personal cloud storage service provided by Ubuntu. It comes bundled with the new version of Ubuntu 10.10. With Ubuntu One, you can sync your music, files, notes, contacts, etc with the server and access it from any Computer. This can also be used to make backups of important documents which will be securely stored and can be retrieved from anywhere in the world in the presence of an Internet connection.

Multimedia & Entertainment

Ubuntu has Rhythmbox Music Player, Ptivi Editor & Movie Player pre-installed. Good additions from the Ubuntu Softare Center would be:

  • Audacity – Audio Editor
  • OpenShot Video Editor – Easily Create Movies & Edit Videos
  • – Listen to Online Music
  • Miro Internet – Watch Online TV
  • Cheese Webcam Booth – Use your Webcam with additional Effects

There are many good Gamesavailable for Linux too! In case you want to play other platform Games on Linux, such as that of Widows – you can use PlayOnLinux application to do so.

Missing Windows?

Applications such as PlayOnLinux, Wine & Crossover let you run your Windows softwares and Games on Linux, without the need of separately installed Windows OS. You can just get these applications and try your favorite Windows softwares with them.

What’s next?

Head over to the Ubuntu SoftwareCenter and explore the possibilities. Have fun with Ubuntu!

wait for next post i will post about the top allication and to use ubuntu in windows without formating

my pleasure in helping you

Chris Pratt evades questions on James Gunn

Washington DC, [USA] July 22 (ANI): In the ongoing Comic-Con International Convention in San Diego, Hollywood star Chris Pratt evaded questions on director James Gunn, who was recently fired from 'Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 3'. During a question and session round for the movie 'The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part', Pratt avoided replying to anything on Gunn. Notably, Pratt became famous for the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' superhero movie series, which was directed by Gunn himself. Pratt and Elizabeth Banks, who attended the session, showcased a clip from the animated film, including a clip that had the aesthetics of Hollywood film 'Mad Max: Fury Road'. On a related note, Gunn was fired after his tweets on jokes related to controversial topics like paedophilia and rape resurfaced.

DPM Tharman opens Singapore Khalsa Association new building

The SKA building at Tessensohn Road has been a familiar focal point for the Sikh community, and a centre for social, cultural and sporting activities - Tharman

DPM Tharman opens the Singapore Khalsa Association new building (left). Right: Some of the participants at the opening – Photos from Facebook postings of Zubair Illyas and another

Singapore Khalsa Association (SKA), the 86 year old outfit that began as a sports club in 1931, today officially launched its spanking new headquarters that underwent a $12 million makeover, placing high hopes on the building to continue playing a focal role for Sikhs and the wider Singapore community.

Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam inaugurated the ceremony held this (30 Dec 2017) evening.

For the past four decades, Tharman noted that the SKA building at Tessensohn Road has been a familiar focal point for the Sikh community, and a centre for social, cultural and sporting activities.

“SKA has also promoted mutual support within the community, and has built up a strong network with other Sikh institutions….Beyond serving the Sikh community, the Association has reached out to the wider Singapore community,” he said in his remarks prepared for the souvenir book for today’s launch.

He added: “Your religious philosophy and culture emphasise mutual help, respect for others, and community service or ‘seva’. The practice of open kitchens at all Sikh Gurdwaras, where anyone is welcome for a meal, is exemplary. More Singaporeans are also participating in the annual Vesakhi Mela which celebrates your vibrant cultural heritage, and reinforces our multicultural ethos.”

In his speech, SKA President Mohinder Singh said he hoped the community would consider the SKA as a choice venue to host not only family celebrations such as birthdays, weddings and anniversaries but also talks and forums for your organisations.

“We hope the enhanced building provides the ambiance to attract both young and old, families and friends from not only the Sikh community but the Singapore community which use the SKA for their events,” he said.

The necessity for the ‘overhaul’ of the SKA building, it was driven by escalating maintenance costs as well as the evolving needs of members and the community at large, said SKA opening gala dinner organising committee chairman LTC (Ret) Charanjit Singh in his remarks in the souvenir book.

Touching on the background of the building, Mohinder said the SKA building at Tessensohn Road was constructed in the late 1960s as a focal point for the educational, cultural, sporting and social needs of the Singapore Sikh community.

“Until the early 1990’s, the building was mostly used for classes to teach the Punjabi language for young Singaporean Sikhs. On weekends, the SKA auditorium at level 2 hosted both Sikh and non-Sikh wedding ceremonies while level 1 was used for lunch or dinner for wedding guests.

“In the late 1990’s, a major renovation to air-condition the level 2 hall saw it transformed into a key venue for social functions while Level 3 was converted into a restaurant and lounge. Another room at Level 4 was also renovated to meet the growing demand for social function space. The building’s power supply was also upgraded to meet requirements which had not been anticipated in the original SKA building,” he said.

In 2013, SKA oganised a retreat to seek the Sikh community’s views on the future role of the SKA and features for the new building.

“The feedback was used to engage our community leaders, members and building consultants to finalise the design brief before calling for tenders. Construction commenced in November 2014 and was completed in November 2016 at a cost of approximately $12 million,” he said.

The Lee Foundation contributed $1.2m towards the efforts of the makeover of the new builiding.

“The Lee Foundation was also the major donor in the 1960s for the original building, and this time again donated generously. We have named the second storey hall “Lee Foundation Hall” to show the Sikh community’s gratitude to Lee Foundation for its substantial donations and unwavering support over the years,” he said.

The Most Popular Festivals Held in Japan
May 24, 2017

Each year, over 300,000 traditional festivals are held in Japan. They differ greatly depending on where they are being held, and although they are usually organized by local people, they are always blessed by a local temple or shrine. Because there are so many festivals in Japan, it would be pretty much impossible to discuss all of them in this article. So, instead we are going to look at some of the most popular ones, which draw visitors from all around the world.

Gion Matsuri

Considered by many to be the most famous festival in Japan, Gion Masturi is held in July in Kyoto. Throughout the month, the streets are lined with traditional food stalls selling numerous culinary delights, and the locals walk the streets in traditional dress. Some houses in the merchant district also open their doors so that the public can enter and view their family heirlooms. The festival was originally performed as a way to appease the gods, and it has grown over the years to become the big event it is today.

Awa Odori

Held from the 12th-15th August, Awa Odori is the largest traditional dance festival in Japan. It is hosted in Tokushimo and is as popular with tourists as it is the locals. During the festival, you can expect to see many people wearing traditional Japanese dress, dancing to the rhythmic music. Choreographed dancers perform in the streets, and watchers are encouraged to join in. During the day time, the dances are quite relaxed, however as dusk approaches they become much more frenzied. It is definitely worth experiencing both if you can.

Kanda Matsuri

Kanda Matsuri takes place on odd numbered years during mid May in Tokyo. The festival consists of numerous different elements, including a procession, costume parades, festival music, and origami dragon design. The majority of the attractions happen during the weekend, however the run up events can be just as fun. Kanda Matsuri is one of Tokyo’s three great Shinto festivals, and really should not be missed if you are visiting the country at the time.

Yuki Matsuri

Now, this is one festival you probably weren’t expecting. Yuki Matsuri is the snow festival, and is held in Sapporo every February. It is one of the largest winter events in the whole of Japan, and is visited by over two million people every year. This is one of the newer festivals in Japan, and originated 50 years ago when a group of high school students decided to create some sculptures in Odori Park. Nowadays, around 400 ice statues are on display, each more impressive than the last. Ice slides, a snow maze, and music performances can also be enjoyed during Yuki Matsuri.

If you are planning a visit to Japan in the near future, it is well worth trying to visit while one of the above festivals is taking place. None will be like anything you have ever seen before, but you are sure to enjoy every moment.

Question Number: 20365

Fitness 10/26/2008

RE: travel & high school Under 17

John Keuth of Fishers, IN US asks...

How far does a center ref or AR run in a typical full sided yout game (say competative U14 or so)? We have a lively debate among us as to the average distance covered. Estimate is up to 3 miles for a center and 1.5 for a AR. Would you have any idea?

Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson

Full time 90 minute high level match a referee will cover about 9500 meters about 6 miles and an AR about 6500 meters about 4 miles. If there is a 1/2 hour extra time add 2 more miles to the referee total and about 1.3 miles to the ARs total . This assumes by the ARs a full out effort to follow the ball to the goal line and back to the midline and a referee intent on staying with play on a full size field.(110 to 120 yards) With players with a strong tactical and physical presence creating these conditions.I suggest you attach a pedometer (measures distance travelled) to your leg and see what you come up wth yourself.
It really is a matter of YOUR effort and the players skill and effort that will determine what you need to do. .

It's a Walk-Off, Motherf****er!

Sorry gang, not talking about MILFs (or DILFs) today. 😀 The modeling I’m talking about is modeling behavior.

Hahaha. Yeah, this is what I’m talking about. But beyond being really, really, really, really good-looking, one of the best and most useful skills a parent picks up is the ability to target and absorb the vast resources of experience from other parents.

Your kids might call this “copycatting” (it’s okay, once you’re a grown-up, you’re allowed to do it). The rest of us know that, in parenting, all’s fair, and you do whatever it takes to get to the right answer, including copying off your friends.

Formula For Success

It’s not just parents that model success. Formally, in the psych field, there’s an entire school of thought dedicated to the concept that success can be reproduced and replicated by modeling successful people.

The idea goes that if you, for example, want to learn to play basketball, you seek to model the behavior of someone who’s very successful at playing basketball, say, Kobe Bryant. You start by copying his moves–the way he jumps, the way he handles the ball, his method of running. Olympic trainers have been known to use motion-capture technology to break down and wireframe the movements of gymnasts executing well-formed moves in order to better understand and replicate the play of muscles and limbs in a well-executed move.

You can do the same thing for less-physical forms of achievement. Every parent knows the old mantra, “If you don’t study, you won’t get into college and you’ll never become a doctor.” Inherent in that statement is the proto-model for the successful behavior: Study, get into college, become a doctor. Now we all know that it’s not that easy as a three-step process makes it out to be. In less-physical situations, modeling isn’t just about movement–copying the way a doctor signs a prescription will not get you any closer to becoming a doctor than writing your name legibly (also, copying the signature of a doctor on a prescription can get you ten to fifteen, so kids, don’t try this at home). But modeling that doctor’s behavior–their method of diagnosis, their bedside manner, the way they approach surgical procedures.

The Confidence Game

Ya just gotta believe

There are more esoteric approaches to modeling, as well. Successful business-folk often talk about how attitude is everything. There’s an entire industry centered around the world of “success” in and of itself. How the right positive attitude can overcome all challenges. Half of it is bullshit, the other half is designed to get you off your ass to do something you won’t admit to being afraid to do.

Pattern Recognition

The more esoteric approaches help a lot more with parenting (although some of that physical modeling is useful when you’re gently-but-firmly hauling a tantruming two year old out of a grocery store under a cloud of shame and embarrassment). The thing is, we do this naturally, instinctively.

If you’ve ever hung out with other parents in a playgroup or social situation, the talk will soon turn to everyone’s kids’ problems–so-and-so has biting issues, such-and-such has a texture thing so nothing can be overcooked. And we do this because we are seeking the patterns that help us to make sense of those inscrutable little mysteries we’ve spawned. We are crowdsourcing our experiences and seeking behaviors to model in order to up our chances of success.

Farm animal production and human health

Human health is inextricably linked with farm animal welfare and industrial farm animal production. Data suggests that human health is negatively affected when animal welfare is compromised, an outcome that results from environmental degradation, the use of non-therapeutic levels of antibiotics for growth promotion, and other consequences of the intensification of production.

Even if dietary patterns shift to reduce meat and fish consumption, these animal source foods will very likely be part of the diet of the future. Industrial production, modified from the current intensified systems, will still be required to feed the world in 2050 and beyond. This paper suggests that sustainable intensification is possible and, further, that many human health consequences of intensified industrial production can be eliminated or reduced if farm animal welfare is improved. Recirculating water-based fish production exemplifies these positive outcomes, as many new systems can be operated at industrial levels without the use of antibiotics and produces a product that protects the environment.

Raising commercial quantities of animal source foods while respecting the welfare of animals is possible. Sustainable intensification is a means of production that observes The Five Freedoms, a widely accepted set of criteria for animal welfare, and also ensures sustainability in other respects, such as the environment. The Five Freedoms ensure farm animals are able to express normal behaviors and protect them against hunger and thirst; discomfort; pain, injury, and disease; and fear and distress. While The Five Freedoms have been widely accepted and expanded upon in Europe, the United States does not define or regulate the welfare of farm animals.

The intensification of animal production without adequate attention to animal welfare involves practices that have negative effects on human health. These effects include environmental and community costs, as well direct health effects stemming from the use of nontherapeutic levels of antibiotics. Antibiotics and other antimicrobials were introduced into industrial farm animal production more than 40 years ago, first as growth promoters and, more recently, to control and prevent diseases of intensification. While these drugs are the same ones used in human health and disease, in the protocols for animal growth and disease prevention, they are used throughout the lifespan of the animal and at levels that are below therapeutic. This use differs from therapeutic treatment for disease, which the author believes to be morally necessary.

In 2008, The Pew Commission study on the Impact of Industrial Animal Production on Animal Welfare, Environment, Social Justice, and Public Health concluded that the published literature demonstrated that low level nontherapeutic use of antibiotics was largely responsible for the development of antibiotic resistance seen in human and was a significant public health concern. The Commission recommended the nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in food animal production should be stopped. While the FDA has issued a request that producers stop using antibiotics as growth promoters, nontherapeutic levels of antibiotics for disease prevention are still permitted, even though their protocol is the same as that of growth promotion.

As the population increases, the moral imperative is to feed the world with nutritious food that does not compromise the environment, provides at a minimum  the 5 Freedoms of animal welfare, and promotes, human health and well-being.

St. Joseph, Just and Kind

Very little is known concerning Joseph, and yet enough is known to reveal what his character was. All that we know of him for certain, we know from the Gospels, and it is there that we see him to be a man who was determined to do what is right in the sight of God, and to do it in a kindly way. He was betrothed to Mary, and according to Jewish practice, betrothal was as sacred as marriage. Because of that, any infidelity before the actual marriage was treated in the same way as infidelity after marriage: death by stoning was the punishment for such sin. By all human appearance, Joseph's beloved betrothed was in just such circumstances, and he had to act in the way that seemed best. He was a just man, but he was a kind man, too, and surely what Mary told him made a great demand on his faith. But that is the point: Joseph was, above all, a man of faith and completely obedient to the divine will of Almighty God. When it was revealed to him that Mary was to bear the Incarnate Son of God he took her to be his wife. There was no hesitation, no consideration of what others might think or how they might judge. It mattered little to him that it was assumed he was the human father of this Child – not that he would have encouraged others to believe such a thing, for he knew the truth – but it was better than having people think that Mary had shamefully conceived with someone else, and so Joseph took the responsibility, knowing one day the truth would be known, and that Truth "would make men free." It is in this very situation, brought about by God Himself, that Saint Joseph's justness and kindness are both revealed.

His justness is shown in that he was a devout servant of God, and he ordered his life according to the standard of that law which had been revealed to the Jewish nation. He sought to please God in all things, even when it meant that he would be misunderstood or even harshly judged by the world. And because justness does not exclude kindness, his response to the revelation that Mary had conceived by the Holy Spirit was one of deep gladness and joy, and so he took his place in God's plan without fear or hesitation. This place was not one of glory; rather, it was one of quiet reserve. Whether on the way to Bethlehem, or in the stable, or at the Child's circumcision on the eighth day, or in the Temple when He was presented, or in everyday life in Nazareth, Joseph simply was there. Loved and respected both by the Incarnate Son of God and by the Mother of God, he was a man of deep piety and gracious character.

Another delightful RASPBERRY FIZZ review

Theater review: Raspberry Fizz at Out of the Loop Fringe Festival in Addison - Thursday, March 8, 2012 - by Mary L. Clark of John Garcia's The Column

In the continuing saga of the Out of the Loop Fringe Festival, I journeyed back over to Addison Theatre Center to see two individual theatre's one-acts. A gusty, cloudy evening made for perfect play watching in their Studio Theatre.

First up was Audacity Theatre Lab and what was described as "A Sweet New Play" by local playwright and founder of Audacity, Brad McEntire. Entitled Raspberry Fizz (playing once more on March 9), a sweet play it was, set in 1949, when Truman was president and minimum wage was going up to 75 cents an hour. Dubble Bubble was the gum of choice, that fizzy soda was only 5 cents, and the worst thing you would ever say to someone was "Go suck an egg!"

A mysterious street corner barker sits in front of a record player and a taped up box. At intervals, he puts the needle on the record and tells passersby to witness "the expected, the unsuspected." Reciting short tales of unusual events, oddities, like those in the back of sensation rags, the barker then returns to his stool and paper.

Ellison has come to that same corner for the last five days, in particular to the stoop where high school friend Samantha has been, with an important question to ask her. But the "cat's got his tongue" and he just can't muster up the courage. Talking about what they want to be when they grow up, "Sam" teases "Ellie," calls him a sap and a square, and generally they both pass the time. Samantha is a flirt who gets poor Ellison to buy her things. As he leaves to purchase gum, he passes the barker, asks him what he's up to, and the con begins. In what McEntire describes as "a heart-warming exploration of expectations and the potentialities of the unmapped future tied up in ... an encounter between two young adolescents in small town America, Raspberry Fizz reminds us of an innocence we'll never see again.

All three actors used their talents to take the audience to that more innocent time -- when dreams were made on the steps of a stoop instead of playing the lottery or getting on a reality TV show. Your future or fortunes could change for just a nickel.

Shane Beeson played the barker with the friendly yet smarmy personality a good con artist needs. Both older than their characters, Natalie Young and Jeff Swearingen played that bygone era's youth with sincerity. Not trying to fake younger, they instead relied on the emotions of great potential all Americans felt coming out of World War II. Young was all smart-alecky, gum chewing, and kidding around as Sam. Swearingen made use of his natural clown/comic facial and body gestures to portray put upon Ellison as a true sad sack.

A thoughtful conception piece, a fun trip down a memory lane I traveled a bit of, and a sweet slice-of-life, coming-of-age play made Raspberry Fizz a tiny wonderment.

Another swell RASPBERRY FIZZ write-up

Jeff Swearingen as "Ellson" in Brad Mcentire's RASPBERRY FIZZ
Review from Out of the Loop: Good Actors, Director Bring ‘Raspberry Fizz’ to Life

D Magazine FrontRow Blog - By - March 5th, 2012 10:34am

Take two of the best actors in North Texas, put them in a fresh play by a local playwright, and give them a director (Andy Baldwin) who knows how to craft and elicit amazing performances, and you got something. It seems like a simple formula, but it is one too often overlooked in a lot of plays. Audacity Theatre Lab provides that straightforward prescription in their delightful and rousing production of Brad McEntire’s Raspberry Fizz at Water Tower Theatre’s Out of the Loop Fringe Festival.

The scene is 1949 in small town U.S.A., and young Ellson (Jeff Swearingen) is trying to screw up his courage to ask his adolescent classmate Samantha (Natalie Young) to the Harvest Dance. Throw in a bizarre carnival barker (an understated Shane Beeson) peddling mysterious wares on the corner who is not making things easy for “Ellie.”

Again, it is a modest setup, but one that is truly magical in these able hands. Swearingen (The Hand at Broken Gears and many plays at Plano Children’s Theatre) captures the essence of a sweet, yet annoying and awkward proto-nerd. He’s a hoot in high pants. Young (Red Light Winter at Second Thought) as the tough and fast-talking Sam is an incandescent ball of gum-chomping charm. She nails the wisecracking smarts and speech patterns of those screwball comedies from the 1930s and 40s.

The right ingredients make this Fizz beyond refreshing.

Jeff Swearingen and Natalie Young in Brad McEntire's RASPBERRY FIZZ

Warm Fizzies
Loop review: Audacity Theatre Lab's Raspberry Fizz is delectable at WaterTower Theatre's Out of the Loop Fringe Festival
by for, Sunday, March 4, 2012

Addison — If you make it up to the intimate Studio Theater at Water Tower Theatre to catch Audacity Theatre Lab's production of Raspberry Fizz, you will be in for a real theatrical treat.

Running at just 45 minutes, the show—written by Audacity's Brad McEntire and directed by Andy Baldwin for the Out of the Loop Fringe Festival—is an endearing portrayal of two adolescents dealing with the awkward tension of young love. Ellson (Jeff Swearingen) has been stopping by the same steps to chat with Samantha (Natalie Young) for the past few days. She seems rather indifferent as she sits reading a newspaper and chewing gum. When Ellson first enters, he is drinking some raspberry fizz. And Samantha wants some, too.

Frustrated but wanting to win her affections, Ellson leaves to go buy her a bottle. When he returns, Samantha now wants some more gum, too. Meanwhile, Ellson repeatedly tries to muster the courage to ask her out to the fall harvest dance. Throughout the show, there is a strange man (Shane Beeson) on the other side of the stage who shouts random outbursts that sound like a carnival barker with his shouts of "step right up, folks!" There is something sinister about him though. He tells Ellson that for a nickel he can look inside a cardboard box and see a glimpse of the future.

The strength of the production lies in the simplicity of both the story and the set. Swearingen and Young are perfect together. He moves and sounds like a young boy. With his shorts pulled up high and donning a small cap, he has the awkward fidgety mannerisms and nervous stuttering of a boy speaking to the girl he has a crush on. And Young strikes the right balance of the girl who acts abrasive and bossy on the surface but actually likes the boy.

There are hilarious moments between them, too. At one point, Ellson very gingerly tries to sit next to Samantha on the step and then just as quickly stands back up when realizing what he is doing. When Samantha tells him to guess what she wants to be when she grows up, Ellson's first guess is a scientist. There is something funny but also tender and sweet in his response.

The show finds a beautiful balance between humor and the earnestness of a young crush. It's a fizzy delight.

"As part of a double bill, Brad McEntire’s world premiere for Audacity Theatre Lab, Raspberry Fizz, proves slight but charming under Andy Baldwin’s direction. This tale of adolescent longing gives the city’s hottest young actress last season, Natalie Young, a chance to flirt knowingly with one of our funniest performers, Jeff Swearingen."

San Francisco, California

We Offer
Overview San Francisco, the City and County of San Francisco, is the financial, cultural, and transportation center of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in the state of California and the second-most densely populated large city in the United States after New York City. Also called the City by the Bay, SF is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world for its bridges, hills, cable cars and the natural beauty created by its surrounding water.
Population 805,235 (2010 Census)
Airport San Francisco International Airport is located approximately 13 miles south of San Francisco, near the junction of Highways 101 and 380. Oakland International Airport also known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, is a public airport located 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi)[1] south of the central business district of Oakland, a city in Alameda County, California, United States Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is a city-owned public-use airport serving the city of San Jose in Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is located two nautical miles (4 km) northwest of Downtown San Jose, near the intersections of three major freeways, U.S. Route 101, Interstate 880, and State Route 87.
Climate San Francisco's climate is characterized by moist mild winters and dry summers. San Francisco has the coldest daily mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures for June, July and August. During the summer, rising hot air in California's interior valleys creates a low pressure area that draws winds from the North Pacific High through the Golden Gate, which creates the city's characteristic cool winds and fog
Best Season The best time to visit San Francisco is from September to November. This season offers warm temperatures and fewer crowds. Spring is another good time, but you can expect the breezes to have a little more bite.
Meeting, Facilities & Amenities
To avoid San Francisco is most crowded between June and October.
Pros San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 33rd out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide, and is renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and Chinatown. The city is also a principal banking and finance center, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions, helping to make San Francisco rank eighteenth in the world's top producing cities, ninth in the United States, and thirteenth place in the top twenty global financial centers.
Cons At least 800 people are hit by cars every year in San Francisco. Pedestrian-car collisions account for almost a quarter of the city’s trauma patients. Most of the year, the city is foggy and cool, sometimes in the summer it can get hot for a few days. There is so much industrial and noise pollution.
Tips There are cheap hotels and places to stay in San Francisco - Hayes Valley Inn, The Hotel Mayflower, Hotel Mirabelle, Metro Hotel, Chateau Tivoli Bed & Breakfast Inn, and others.
