The following board members were present: Peggy Berg, Lola Carlisle, Frazier Dworet, Genny Ferrero, Brian Gross, Nicole Foerschler Horn, Pamela Papner, Jack White, John Wolfinger, and David Wolfson.

Ms. Foerschler Horn made and Mr. White seconded a motion to adopt the attached agenda, which was approved without objection.
Reports from Police & Fire representatives
City of Atlanta officials
Other Elected officials & guests
VHCA Committee reports
V-12-134 – 870 Adair Ave. Applicant Charles Toti (architect Jeffrey Griffin) seeks variances to: (1) reduce the front yard setback from 35' (required ) to 20', and (2) reduce the half-depth front yard (along Barnett St.) from 17.5' (required) to 7' to allow a second story addition. Architect Jeffrey Griffin spoke on behalf of the applicant. He noted that the application did not increase the existing lot coverage and only went upward. He reported that letters of notification have been sent to all neighbors; no concerns have been expressed. Ms. Carlisle noted that the Planning Committee performed a site visit on August 17th and that no tree or runoff issues were observed. The Planning Committee unanimously recommends VHCA approval based on site plans dated and stamped August 8, 2012 and proof of mailing to notification of specified adjacent property owners. Ms. Carlisle moved to approve per the Committee's recommendations; Ms. Foerschler Horn seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.
V-12-135 – 880 Virginia Circle. Ms. Carlisle reported that applicant Matt Perrine has requested deferral for one month, and this item was not heard.
V-12-138 – 1100 Rosewood Dr. Applicant Jason Douget seeks a variance to (1) reduce the required front yard setback from 35' to 25' feet (existing) and to (2) reduce the required side yard setback on the south from 7' to 2.6' (existing) to allow a 2nd-story addition.
Builder Tony Tripoli spoke on behalf of the applicant and stated that the existing roof line will remain virtually unchanged; proof of mailings to all neighbors have been supplied. Mr. Tripoli noted that three of the neighbors have supplied written approval of the plans, and that a fourth neighbor has indicated verbal approval.
Ms. Carlisle noted that at the Planning Committee site visit of August 30, 2012, no apparent runoff or tree issues were noted. The Planning Committee therefore unanimously recommends approval conditioned on site plans stamped and dated August 21, 2012 and proof of appropriate notification of specified adjacent property owners. Mr. White moved to approve the Planning committee recommendations; Ms. Carlisle seconded, and it was unanimously approved.
V-12-140 – 700 Park Drive. Applicant Barry Wright seeks a variance to reduce the required half-depth front yard setback from 17.5' to 8.3' (existing) to allow for a 2nd-story addition and to construct a new driveway 23' wide (20' allowed.) Mr. Wright presented the variance request. He has three of eight signatures from the neighbors, and he is attempting to reach the remaining neighbors individually, but all proofs of mailing have been sent out.
A discussion ensued regarding the width of the driveway entancec and the slope of the lot upon which it sits. After a site visit on August 28, 2012, the Planning Committee asked for new stamped elevations attached to the site plan showing that the slope of the hill and height of the wall adjacent to the proposed new driveway will conform to the existing grade in the half-depth front yard, to ensure proper visibility of and from cars backing from the driveway. Two public trees – one which was deemed hazardous by the Parks arborist – will be removed. One public tree will be removed; the applicant will pay recompense as calculated. Ms. Carlisle requested that Mr. Wright provide an update on trees. Due to the removal of several trees on the site, the applicant is seeking to add four trees along their property at Elkmont, and four more at John Howell Park.
Ms. Carlisle reported that the Planning Committee unanimously recommended approval conditioned as amended and proof of appropriate notification of specified adjacent property owners. She therefore moved to approve the application based upon the site plans dated August 22, 2012, and the amended driveway sketches dated September 9, 2012 (which address the sight lines). Mr. White seconded the motion, and it was approved unanimously.
Nominating Committee and Annual General Meeting – Lola Carlisle
Ms. Carlisle spoke on behalf of the nominating committee and listed the individuals who have agreed to run as Board candidates on the upcoming Annual General Meeting – John Becker, Peggy Berg, Lola Carlisle, Arturo Cruz-Tucker, Genny Ferrero, Lauren Wilkes Fralick, Nicole Foerschler Horn , Jenifer Keenan, Pamela Papner, David Rein, Jack White, and David Wolfson – all of whom it recommended for election.
Mr. White thanked the Committee for its work and moved to approve the committee's recommendations; Ms. Ferrero seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. White further mentioned that a few members will be leaving the board and that we will take a moment to thank them for their service at the general meeting on September 13.
Other Committee Reports
Mr. Wolfinger spoke regarding $171 that was previously supplied to the Association by the street captain on St. Charles for the removal of graffiti. The intent was to use the money for the reimbursement of those community members who expended funds in removal efforts. However, because their reimbursement has been done in another fashion, the donor would like the funds returned. Mr. White asked Mr. Dworet if the Association can simply refund the money, and he affirmed that it can.
Ms. Foerschler Horn provided an update regarding school issues, noting that additional neighborhood children are using APS buses based on the extended routes. The City has a set up a meeting with GDOT to discuss better signage along Briarcliff road for children crossing on their way to school.
Mr. White discussed the Parks Committee's preparation of an application to Park Pride for funding support for the renovations at John Howell Park outlined and specified in the Association's recently-adopted conceptual plan. If successful, such an application will require support from the Association in a combination of in-kind and cash match on a dollar-for-dollar basis, predominantly cash. He asked that the board approve and support such an application; Ms. Carlisle seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 PM.

Irina Reyn: "What Happened to Anna K.?"
November 30, 2008 by Farnoosh Brock
In "What happened to Anna K.?", Irina Reyn gives us the life of Anna Karenina in a new light. Reyn's writing and story-telling was simply riveting. This brilliant young author had me captivated and glued to her book from page one. Reyn's writing style is remarkable for such a new novelist. Her spellbinding way of telling the story of Anna in modern day New York takes you through a much changed setting from Tolstoy's Russia backdrop in late 19th century.
To my own regret, I have not yet read Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina". My only preview to Anna's character before this book came from my absolute favorite essay, poignantly written by Simon Blackburn titled "In Defence of Lust": "Lust subverts propriety.", Blackburn writes, "It stole Anna Karenina from her husband and son…." Was lust really the culprit that stole our Anna?
Oh the gripping story of the sexy, the sophisticated, the elegant Anna. The longings and yearnings of Anna for so much: for lost opportunities, for passage of time and her fading youth and beauty, for her home in Russia, for her Mr. Darcy, her Heathcliff or her Romeo in her life. Irina pointedly describes these longings. These are the essential elements that make up the complex Anna K. Never has my own longing for the years gone by and fear of the few remaining ones in fleet been better articulated. I loved Anna at once because I could immediately identify with her on all levels.
Of all her yearnings, Anna K's longest struggle is with time, that voice that beckons us to hurry and slow down at the same time, and never lets up, no matter what blow we suffer in this world and what tragedies befall us. It ticks away indefinitely. I can relate acutely to Anna's emotions with time, as Reyn writes "Her relationship with time, once so affectionate, lovingly doled out on the abacus, was now openly hostile. How could there be no going back? Anna thought." (pg.167) In this context, we see Anna's constant agony in dealing with the reality of our finite time on this earth. This subtle quiet passing of the weeks, months, and years – and the older we get, the more distinctly we remember our childhood and more tightly we long to revive and relive our youth. It is the trick we play with ourselves by thinking that 35 is really awfully young when we pass the mark whereas the same age seemed awfully old when our parents reached it – not a place we could see ourselves anytime soon. However did we get here so fast? Perhaps it is only by living well and fully that we can find solace in the journey and the unbelievably quick pace on which it insists. Through a rich, honest, healthy, and determined life, I know we can uncover the mystery games that time plays with our minds and get closer to understanding the significance of our time here on this earth.
Reading is the best pastime for an active mind! If you like to see the other book reviews, check the index of In Print.
Anna Karenina blends her fiction with her reality like the ingredients of a recipe that belong together. At the age of 37 and still unmarried, her Russian parents have no more excuses and only shame to carry to the social parties and traditional gatherings of their upscale Queens lifestyle about their unwed daughter. The social and cultural pressures of Tolstoy's 19th century for women do not seem that far-fetched when placed in modern day New York city's Russian quarters even in 2004.
Anna fights the social and cultural pressures poorly. She fights internally, and submits on the outside. She marries Alex, and for terrible reasons to boot. His financial security would make many women happy, and while Anna's taste is not inexpensive, her needs lie elsewhere. Anna plays more a silent observer than an active participant to her own life, taking in the shocks of what happens to her from a distance — she is married, she has a son, she is 39, she has gained weight during the pregnancy and her body is not the same after her son's birth — she observes herself from a distance and mourns every event, as it is all one loss after another in her eyes.
She is one of the most well-read women of her time. She has read voraciously since a very young age, and is obsessed with the heroines of her stories. She imagines it was she who played up against her Mr. Darcy, and Heathcliff, and countless others. She longs for a man who worships her, and would someday write a novel about her. The notion of being worshiped and written about plays a central theme in Anna's existence. It is not so much about finding love as it is about love finding her and playing out just like her favorite novels. She will be present to receive it. She knows every line. Love and time need not concern themselves with such trivial matters. If they would just present her dreams to her, she will be off on her way.
With all due respect to Blackburn, lust did not steal Anna away from her husband and son. Lust played a minor role at best. It was the obsession with the fantasy of being a heroine in a novel, revered for her beauty and mystique that consumed Anna and attracted her to David. Alex was too practical, too predictable and real. David was the epitome of American freedom, dream and beauty. The mundane affairs of daily life, even in the posh living style of Upper East Side, held no interest for Anna. She lived and breathed her novels and idolized a hazy vision of happiness in her mind.
Katia Zavurov is Anna's younger cousin and looks up to her fervently. Lev Gavrilov has cared about two things all his life — French movies and Katia, or "Vasilisa the Beautiful", the name he has given her. I am baffled by the nature of Lev and Katia's relationship leading up to and during their marriage, which in itself comes about strangely even for Lev. How can Lev's deep emotions for her go unexpressed when all he was waiting for was a window of time and a chance? Katia is the sweet and obedient Russian girl — always doing what is expected of her, and shoving aside doubts when they arise. She marries Lev because she feels unwanted by any other suitors and her clock is ticking. Their faith is a strange irony. She is oblivious to his worship and love for her, and he makes no attempts to tell her. They go on living as such, Katia feeling desperately inadequate as a wife and Lev, always rushing out to escape his reality at the French movies.
Anna steals David away from Katia. She feels bad, she really does — yet nothing will interfere with what Anna Karenina wants in life. Katia be damned, they all be damned, Anna reaffirms her own actions.
The slow onset of attraction, which does not materialize further, between Lev and Anna, happens at the very end. Reyn develops her two complex characters, Lev and Anna, all the while in parallel and separately. Anna by now has built imaginary doubts about David's love and devotion and feels ever so alienated by her world. Lev, in utter loneliness for not communicating with his own Vasilisa, feels disgust and lust towards Anna. They have a brief encounter towards the very end of Anna's story. That is the end of Anna Karenina's story. Why does there have to be an end to every story?
For all her beauty and grace, Anna feels unloved and insecure. She is wanted and envied by all, and yet she feels threatened in her love affair to David. David who knows Anna is the only woman for her. The unexpressed thoughts, the unspoken words, they steal Anna away from us as much as her own illusions about life and happiness.

Massive Jerusalem Protest Against Universal Draft
Thousands of hareidi-religious Jews rallied Monday night in Jerusalem to protest the universal draft law.
Tags: Eida H Hareidit Universal Draft Tal Law
Chana Ya'ar , Jul 16 , 2012 8:43 PM
Demonstration in Jerusalem
Israel news photo: Hezki Ezra
Thousands of hareidi-religious Jews rallied Monday night in Jerusalem to protest the proposed universal draft law that would recruit all Israeli citizens, including men and women, observant Jews of all stripes and Arabs, at age 18, without exemptions.
At least 2,500 men and boys gathered in Kikar Shabbat (Shabbat Square) in the Meah Shearim neighborhood at a demonstration organized by the Eida HaHareidit [an u ltra orthodox anti-Zionist group, ed.] to protest the proposed law. Many of the children and youths were wearing handcuffs and waving signs that read, "Mommy and Tatti, Save me!"
Speaking from the podium, a rabbi exhorted the crowd to "remain Jews who observe the Torah and mitzvos" even if "they lock us up and beat us."
The demonstration was being held against the backdrop of a flurry of proposals for a universal draft that would recruit all Israeli citizens to the army at age 18, regardless of status, including Arabs as well as Jews.
Up to this year, the Tal Law, formulated by retired Supreme Court Justice Tzvi Tal, allowed yeshiva students to obtain exemptions from the draft. At age 22, the student could choose between one year of civil service with a paying job, or an abbreviated 16-month tour of duty, with future service in reserves, as an alternative to continued yeshiva life and a way to encourage joining the work force.
However, the High Court of Justice ruled the Tal Law to be unconstitutional this past February after a suit was filed by secular citizens claiming it was unegalitarian.
The decision set off a firestorm in which politicians have battled for ways to replace the law with a universal draft or a similar measure enabling full-time rabbinical students to continue their studies. The issue has also created a coalition crisis with religious parties such as United Torah Judaism and the Sephardic Shas party. Prime Minister Netanyahu formed a committee to come up with an alternative, but disbanded it when the religious members left in protest at the extreme measures being incorporated into the draft of the proposed new law.

"Over 30 years ago, our daughter was diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). Martha and I struggled to understand OI and as young parents, we were looking for support and answers. Fortunately for us, the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation (OIF) was there to help. For the last 30+ years, we have been active in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation. I had the honor of serving as the President of the OI Foundation Board of Directors from 2013 to 2016. Our daughter, who is now 33 years old, lives in Waco, Texas where she is Senior Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church. She will soon be moving to Louisville, Kentucky where she will be the pastor of the Highland Baptist Church. The fact that she has matured and has the confidence to live an independent life is attributable to the support that we have received from the OIF over the years.
The OIF will be holding its first ever Virtual National Conference on (July 10th through the 12th). As part of the conference, they will be holding a Virtual Wheel and Walk to raise funds for OIF. I would greatly appreciate it if you would join me in participating in the virtual Wheel and Walk.
I am dedicating the funds that I raise this year to the memory of Gemma Geisman, whose pioneering work founded the OIF fifty years ago. Gemma passed away earlier this year but her legacy lives on.
Thank you for your friendship and continued support of OIF!"

"At the 2018 walk-n-wheel, we had a ball getting to parade down the street, and celebrate at the end with our OI family, medical professionals and friends! I distinctly remember Harper and Carter Brown chanting, "We have OI, we're proud, and we're not afraid to show it!" holding up their team name posters by the Baltimore Aquarium. Jennifer Brown (Carter's mom) and I looked at each other with huge smiles on our faces when we saw that! It was just a special and proud moment to see our kiddos enjoying this effort and celebrating who they are. I encourage you and your family to take part in the next one in Omaha."
Dr. Maegen Wallace
"As a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon and the director of the OI clinic at Children's Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, I am very excited to have the OI community coming to Omaha in July 2020 for the biennial National Conference and to be one of your co-chairs for the 2020 OIF National Unbreakable Spirit® Walk-n-Wheel! When I participated in the Medics on the March fundraiser, friends and family were more than willing to donate to help me reach my fundraising goals once they knew how big of a role OI played in my life. I am honored to care for children with OI and excited to be a part of this event to raise awareness and funds for the OI foundation! See you in Omaha!"

Basketball packs the house

On Feb. 12, the Delta College basketball teams held both men' s and women's games against Sierra College.

While putting up good fights, Sierra walked away with victories. But the overall mood of the evening was one of energy and enthusiasm.
The night also acted as a fundraiser for Coaches vs. Cancer and included a fan shooting contest during half time.
Also during the women's basketball game, instructors Paula Sheil, Diane Oren and Steve Graham were honored at a "Favorite Teacher Award" celebration.
While all three instructors have unique philosophies and teaching skills, the student-athletes that awarded them expressed the shared appreciation for their passion for the job, with a general love of teaching and the willingness to challenge their students to work for their education.

Tomb Raider: Chronicles – przygodowa gra akcji wyprodukowana przez Core Design i wydana 21 listopada 2000 przez Eidos Interactive. Piąta gra z serii Tomb Raider.

Akcja gry toczy się w Rzymie, Rosji, Irlandii i Nowym Jorku. Po wydarzeniach z Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation pojawiają się spekulacje, że Lara Croft nie żyje, dlatego przyjaciele urządzają symboliczny pogrzeb przyjaciółce, po którym wspominają jej przygody.

Prace nad grą rozpoczęto po zakończeniu prac nad Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation z 1999. Chronicles zapowiedziano jako ostatnią grę tworzoną na technologii znanej z poprzednich części serii.

Gra była najgorzej sprzedającą się częścią serii po premierze i pozostaje drugą (po Tomb Raider: Anniversary) najgorzej sprzedającą się częścią w całej historii serii.

Rozgrywka
Akcja gry toczy się po uroczystościach pogrzebowych Lary Croft, która zaginęła pod koniec Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. Rozgrywka składa się z czterech niezależnych od siebie misji, ulokowanych w Rzymie, Rosji, Irlandii i Nowym Jorku, podczas których gracz wykonuje zadania zręcznościowe, rozwiązuje zagadki logiczne i toczy walkę z różnymi rodzajami przeciwników. Pierwsza misja zawierała sekwencję szkoleniową.

Twórcy wprowadzili nowe ruchy bohaterki, w tym możliwość chodzenia po linie, huśtania się na drążku, atakowanie z ukrycia, wchodzenie na półki i regały w celu szukania ekwipunku. Dodali też celownik laserowy, umożliwiający strzelanie z daleka do celu, ale zrezygnowali z możliwości poruszania się przez Larę pojazdami.

Gracz ponownie mógł odnajdować ukryte skarby, a po znalezieniu wszystkich 36 zostały udostępnione mu do obejrzenia szkice gry i zwiastun Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Gra na komputery osobiste została wzbogacona o edytor poziomów, umożliwiający graczom samodzielne projektowanie kolejnych etapów gry.

Fabuła
Po wydarzeniach z Egiptu przyjaciele Lary Croft są pewni, że bohaterka nie żyje, dlatego kilka dni po zaginięciu organizują symboliczne uroczystości pogrzebowe. Podczas stypy kamerdyner Winston Smith i ojciec Patrick Dunstan spotykają się z Charlesem Kanem, przyjacielem Lary, by wspólnie powspominać przygody bohaterki.

W pierwszej retrospekcji Lara przybywa do Rzymu w poszukiwaniu kamienia filozoficznego, który zdobyć chcą też Pierre DuPont i Larson Conway. Bohaterce udaje się jako pierwszej zdobyć artefakt.

W drugim wspomnieniu Lara udaje się do Murmańska, gdzie poszukuje Włóczni Przeznaczenia, broni transportowanej w czasie drugiej wojny światowej przez niemiecką łódź podwodną U-Boot, która nigdy nie dotarła do celu. Włócznię chce zdobyć też rosyjska mafia, by wykorzystać ją do stworzenia niepokonanej grupy przestępczej. Po odnalezieniu artefaktu Lara spotyka mafiosa Siergieja Michaiłowa, któremu pod groźbą zabójstwa oddaje skarb. Chwilę później mężczyzna ginie wskutek wybuchu włóczni, który doprowadza do tonięcia łodzi. Lara wydostaje się z łodzi dzięki pomocy Jarofewa, admirała Rosyjskiej Marynarki Wojennej i właściciela statku, który doznał poważnych ran wskutek wybuchu włóczni.

W trzecim wspomnieniu 16-letnia Lara przybywa do Irlandii, gdzie wraz z ojcem Patrickiem Dunstanem wybiera się na demoniczną wyspę w celu poznania sekretów miejsca. Podczas eksploracji napotyka wisielca, podającego się za "wędrowca pomiędzy dwoma królestwami – ludzi i zjaw", który prosi ją o znalezienie jego serca, pozostającego w posiadaniu smoka Nidhogga. W międzyczasie ojciec Patrick zostaje porwany przez demona Władimira Kaletę, któremu 700 lat temu opat obiecał nieśmiertelność, lecz zamiast tego uwięził go na wyspie. Lara znajduje sposób na uwolnienie demona. Po uratowaniu demon chce zabić ojca Patricka i Larę, jednak bohaterom udaje się przeżyć.

W ostatnim wspomnieniu Lara przylatuje do Nowego Jorku, by odebrać Wernerowi von Croyowi sarkofag Iris. Po dotarciu na szczyt naszpikowanego nowoczesną technologią wieżowca Von Croy Instrudies udaje jej się przechwycić artefakt.

Podczas stypy przyjaciele Lary Croft dowiadują się, że Werner von Croy wrócił na teren zniszczonego grobowca Horusa z nadzieją, że odszuka ją w ruinach. W gruzach odnajduje plecak Lary, co sugeruje, że bohaterka przeżyła tragedię.

Produkcja

Prace nad grą rozpoczęto tuż po zakończeniu produkcji Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (1999). Nad tytułem pracowało większość ekipy odpowiedzialnej za czwartą część serii Tomb Raider. Mike Schmitt z Eidos Interactive zapowiedział grę jako ostatnią tworzoną na technologii znanej z poprzednich gier z Larą Croft.

Andy Sandham, projektant pracujący w Core Design, określił pracę przy grze jako "najbardziej depresyjną dla wszystkich" ze względu na odświeżanie gotowego produktu. Dodał, że ekipa zgodziła się na tworzenie gry wyłącznie z pobudek ekonomicznych. Równolegle z przygotowaniami gry, studio pracowało także nad szóstą częścią rozgrywki, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, która została wydana w 2003.

Premierę piątej gry zaplanowano na listopad 2000, pozostawiając twórcom niecały rok na przygotowania. Twórcy nieznacznie zmodyfikowali silnik gry i polepszyli jakość tekstur oraz dodali dwa nowe stroje bohaterce – zmysłowy kombinezon i kamuflujący komplet. Wprowadzili również postać Zipa, który poprzez zestaw słuchawkowy pomaga bohaterce w wykonywaniu zadań. Adrian Smith określił grę jako "ewolucję Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation".

W sierpniu twórcy ujawnili szczegóły fabuły i udostępnili pierwsze zrzuty ekranu z gry. Przed premierą udostępniono jeszcze kilka innych screenshotów, a w październiku Eidos Interactive uruchomił oficjalną stronę internetową poświęconą grze i ujawnił nowe szczegóły dotyczące rozgrywki. 15 listopada ogłoszono gotowość do wydania gry, która dwa dni później trafiła do sprzedaży.

Odbiór gry

Recenzje

Tomb Raider: Chronicles spotkał się z chłodnym przyjęciem krytyków – gra w wersji na komputery osobiste uzyskała średnią ocen wynoszącą 57/100 punktów według agregatora Metacritic oraz 60,24% według serwisu GameRankings.

Recenzenci krytykowali m.in. wtórność gry i frustrującą rozgrywkę, w tym przebieg trzeciej misji, określonej jako "kompletnie nieciekawa" i "śmieszna", w której pozbawiona broni bohaterka musi uciekać przed przeciwnikami, co uznano za "jeden z najgorszych pomysłów, który kiedykolwiek wymyślono w Core [Design]". Ponownie krytykowano uciążliwy system sterowania postacią, jak również pracę kamer.

Krytycy doceniali oprawę audiowizualną gry oraz wprowadzenie edytora poziomów.

Sprzedaż
Gra rozeszła się w nakładzie 1,5 mln egzemplarzy, zostając najgorszej sprzedającą się częścią serii.

Q: jQuery function to hide elements based on HTML5 data tags not running on Click I have been working on a small function in jQuery to hide elements based on values in their data tags. For example, if the value of bathrooms is 3 hide all elements that do less than 3 bathrooms set in the tag.
The hiding function has worked before but when I set it up like this it doesn't seem to go. Any ideas?
function search(){
    $baths = $('#baths').val();
    $beds = $('#bedrooms').val();
    $style = $('#modelstyle').val();

    $("models").show();

    $("[data-baths]").filter(function(){
        return parseInt($(this).attr('data-baths'), 10) < $baths;
    }).hide();

    $("[data-beds]").filter(function(){
        return parseInt($(this).attr('data-beds'), 10) < $beds;
    }).hide();

    $("[data-style]").filter(function(){
        return parseInt($(this).attr('data-style'), 10) != $style;
    }).hide();
};

$('#search').click(search());

A: You need to give the reference to the search() function to the handler, not the result of the function. Remove the brackets after the search call:
$('#search').click(search);

Just had an email from the club!
If you would like to talk to us in person then we will be having a discussion forum before our next home Championship match against Richmond on Sunday, January 13th, in the Club Room at the Madejski Stadium between 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
Didnt spot the little red box arrow right at the bottom of the screeen.. oops.
So long London Irish - it's been a joy (mostly) for the last two decades. Adios amigo!
Is Crossrail going to be much help to the Reading 4?
GHA - I suspect more in terms of frequency rather than speed - looks like 2 Crossrail off-peak trains per hour (ie. 4 trains per hour in total) from Reading to Ealing Broadway.
Probably be the same approx. 50 mins journey time as the new GWR electric rolling stock takes.
Let's hope they ringfence in season 19/20 or else we run the risk of kicking off season 20/21 in the Championship! Hardly going to help build the supporter base we're obviously hoping for to make this move viable.
Hi Chris: I'm guessing you have been taken on by Brian F. having worked together at Saints - Is that right? - It's just that I don't see your name listed on the LI site.
If you listen to the interview with Brian Facer on the offy he says "there will be plenty of car parking for everybody"
I think the gist is probably better use public transport and walking. 210 spaces for a 20000 stadium is a joke. Hopefully there are lots of industrial estate business looking to make a few bob on a Sunday.
Of vital importance - will the beers will be decent and served at a pace most people consider acceptable vs cold, coloured water masquerading as £x worth of lager served in the half after you started queuing?
Whilst supplier proximity is seldom a primary commercial consideration, the Fullers brewery is less than two miles from Lionel Road South. Just saying......and hoping that someone with marketing/commercial 'clout' at Brentford FC/L.I. might possibly be looking in.
Fillers London Pride is a sponsor on Brentford's Website so hopefully the marketing department at Irish will look at sponsorship from Fullers and Brenfords main sponsor Leo Vegas and other sponsors.
Already Brentford FC's "Official Premium Ale Partner"
Today just keeps on giving!
Should i know who this guy is??
Does this mean we will be known as the 'Not'as we will be back in London?
I can see why the management wants to move back, but, unfortunately I won't be able to get to home games. With two young boys under 4, anything from a 2 hour and 20 to 2 hour and 40 minutes train journey each way (with changes) it's not worth a 5 hour train journey with youngsters and all the things needed to keep them warm and fed/entertained at a game for an 80 minutes of rugby.
Will have to get my live fix of top rugby from Northampton as it's now the closest Premiership outfit to me. Will always be a fan of Irish but can't afford to go and watch Home games with the costs and time involved in trying to get there.
Yes, that's me - I'm working with the club on this project, which I'm delighted to be doing. Irish is a great club that has been very welcoming, and the future is very exciting.
Are you in charge of the #Godforesaken hashtags?
As another member of the Reading 4, it will entirely depend upon whether there is reasonably priced carparking there. Public transport is way too difficult, imagine Sunday and evening games, so, it will have to be a drive.
Likewise Orsoncart, parking will be a factor as public transport is a definite no especially on Sundays, we did a 'trial run' earlier this year, not good. Intrigued as to the research done, our family have never been asked our thoughts on any move, although we've been st holders at Reading since LI moved there.
We're from Reading and will go to Brentford. Trains ok and tbh less time in a pub and more on a train. Worse case we take it in turns to drive.
Without trying to offend anyone, all that's happening here is that in some ways positions have been reversed.
I would urge the Reading 4 brigade to show the same level of support to the club as everyone else has over the last 18 years !
Yes, it might take a little longer and cost a little more, but....guess what, that's what a lot of us have being doing for years !
I live near to the new stadium site and people can pretty well forget about trying to park in residential streets within walking distance.
Most streets already have controlled parking (although not currently covering weekends) and I expect days of operation will be extended and streets that aren't CPZs soon will be if any number of cars start parking there because of people going to the stadium.
Maybe they will arrange a park and ride.
Brentford FC have quarterly meetings with local residents to update people on the stadium progress and the next meeting in the new year will be covering transport arrangements in more detail so I should find out more then.
AFAIK LB Hounslow hasn't yet granted planning permission for the stadium to be used for rugby (although I think it will be a formality).
I think the planning permission will need to include a travel plan from L Irish showing how they expect people to travel to games and the measures to support this. This will probably be heavily based upon what Brentford have said, such as providing marshalling at Gunnersbury station.
Brentford FC haven't yet provided details if and where they are providing park and ride but my guess is they will want to keep traffic away from the N and S Circular. Maybe around J3 of the M4.
Apologies... it seems that planning permission has been granted for rugby but I couldn't find a travel plan from London Irish. Maybe they said it will be the same as Brentford.
A document I read said that a "further 1,000 off-site car parking spaces controlled by the club are proposed". It wasn't clear whether this was local (ie walking distance) parking or referred to park and ride arrangements. It seems likely, though, that some thought is being given to this issue by the club and we may hear more during the Q&A session.
Land is too valuable in large parts of London to have lots of space for low yield use like car parking.
Maybe park and ride from some of the industrial estates or offices further out.
Whilst I kind of agree with Finno's point above, it should be added that in the move from the Stoop to the Madejski Stadium, the crowds were very much greater than the 2 or 3 thousands we get today.
The London 4000 is not comparable with the Reading 4.
IMHO, there is no future at the Madstad for such small crowds. I doubt it's financially viable.
Redhanded - thanks for the local info.
Is there a bus from Ealing Broadway Station to near the Stadium?
Yes, 65 bus from Ealing Broadway stops at Kew Bridge which is about 5 mins walk from the stadium (passing one pub). Journey from Ealing is about 20-25 mins depending on traffic.
Or, another option from Ealing is District line to Chiswick Park and it is about 20 mins walk from there (or get a bus) however they are building a footbridge by Chiswick Park and that should save a few minutes walk. A few pubs en route.
It is less than 10 mins from Ealing Broadway to Chiswick Park on the tube.
Ealing Broadway to Acton Town (which is the stop before Chiswick Park) is also possible but I think the walk is slightly longer and it is alongside the delightful N Circular.
redhanded - Gunnersbury (also District Line) is even closer than Chiswick Park - about 10 mins...!
yes but Gunnersbury is on the District line Richmond branch so someone coming from Ealing would need to go to Turnham Green then change platforms for a Richmond train. It is quicker to get off at Chiswick Park and walk.
I was just listing options from Ealing but depending where people are coming from District line to Gunnersbury, Overground to Gunnersbury, SW Trains to Kew Bridge, buses or even Piccadilly line to Acton TOwn may be better public transport options.
The CS9 cycle superhighway will be going past the stadium too!
Just down the road from the new stadium there is one of the biggest car parks in the country (a.k.a. Heathrow) I don't know if it would be possible to negotiate the use of some of their facilities for match day park & ride!
For those coming from North/East London, the overground runs all the way from Stratford to Gunnersbury. Will be what I plan on doing.
Could you not park at Hazelwood and run buses?
Hazelwood doesn't have much car parking space due to the planning rules that had to be agreed to stop noise impacting the graveyard next door so it's more likely to be at Kempton park.
"We will be in the market for a naming rights partner. It is a commercial reality and we need the stadium to make as much money as possible. It is important we find a naming rights partner that sits with the values of the club."
The flats will be marketed with some sort of reference to "Kew" as that sounds posher than Brentford.
I can't see this happening, parking charges at the airport are astronomically priced for paying customers, and I wouldn't think the airport authorities would go out of their way to find parking space for a few hundred cars on one day of the week. Coupled with the expansion plans, there is very little available space for anything other than airport related expansion.
As someone who makes the trip from Nth London, I can confirm Saracens are definitely in London btw, I do sympathise with my Reading friends. Every home game for me is actually an "away" game and the fastest I have ever done it is 11/2 hour door to door by car. By train double it.Its the time you lose when you have to do 3 changes as I have to. The move to Brentford is not great for me travel wise, as transport in London is geared to going in and not around the city. However I will be able to use public transport to Gunnersbury.I do think there are fans of Irish in London but they can't be bothered to make the trip to Reading except for the odd occasion and treat it as a novelty.
My worry is we get promotion but by the time of the move we get relegated again and we are back where we started,just in another stadium.
However all this is for the future, we have time to get the playing side sorted and push on to become a bigger club than we currently are. Sometimes change has to be made however painful for some.

When it comes to toys, we have everything in our house from quality wooden American made toys, to metal tractors from Nick's toddler days, to commercialized Spider-Man figurines made in China. Here are some of our very favorites that keep Lucas and Theo (and their friends both boys and girls) super busy and happy (think hours of unsupervised fun!). Many of these were gifts to us and we are always recommending them to friends or giving them as gifts.
1 / BluTrack 18' Starter Set - This is the most popular toy in our house. Engages kids of all ages and it teaches them physics, I promise!
2 / B. Pop Arty Beads - Lucas and Theo spend quite a long time making necklaces, bracelets, and other trinkets. Great because they can take it apart and make something new. Also excellent for fine motor skills. Just watch for small pieces.
3 / Grimms Large Wooden Conical Stacking Tower - The kids (mostly Theo) still play with this one. Big pluses: made from sustainably harvested natural alder wood, the sides of the rings are flat so you could roll them, can be stacked in any order, and looks pretty on the shelf!
4 / Vilac House of Balls - Most kids are drawn to this toy at house. Theo loves watching the balls zig zag down and ring the bell at the end.
5 / Modern-Twist Placemat - We love these coloring placemats and use them for every meal. Super easy to clean and helps the kids stay seated at the table (about half the time at least).
6 / Kinetic Sand - I had no idea this existed until we got them as gifts. It's incredible how you can pack it, squeeze it, and shape it. I love watching the boys create things over and over again (construction sites, buried treasure, food molds) without the mess of real sand in the house.
7 / Little Sapling Toys Rainbow Stacking Stacking Nesting Toy - This well designed wooden toy not only looks beautiful on the shelf, but Lucas and Theo still play with this all the time. While Theo loves to stack them, Lucas loves to make ramps (using the BluTrack) or pretend they're boats, tunnels, or bridges.
8 / Battat Garbage Truck - This was Lucas' favorite gift from his 2nd birthday (can we say obsessed?). They both love pushing it down the hallway and jamming as much stuff into the back as possible.
9 / Janod Robots Chunky Puzzle - Brightly colored, wooden puzzle is super cute and great for teaching object orientation, fine motor skills, and creative play. Plus, who doesn't love robots?
10 / Munchie Mug - Okay, not technically a toy, but this is one of my all time favorite kid products. It's spill resistant (don't you hate it when your child puts their hand into a snack bin and everything comes out including the top?), easy for little hands to grip, a snap to wash, free of lead, BPA, phthalate, and latex, and made in the USA.
11 / Oeuf Gold Crown - Also not technically a toy, but I love all things Oeuf, and this crown has been in our family since before Lucas was born. The kids wear the crown every birthday -- it's kind of a little tradition over here (not sure what I'm going to do when their heads get too big!). See the crown in action on Theo from his second birthday.


Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" is an exploration on how people deal with the concept of "sin" in their lives. Even in some of the earliest literatures like the Bible, sins and sinners have been a common topic for discussion. In this novel, the readers are presented with various characters, which have committed sinful acts at some point of their lives. The novel presents us with lovers whose sin was to fall in love with each other while they are in a wrong situation. The society marked this sinful act as adultery: both lovers have to repent and suffer for this sin for a very long time. The biggest sin committed in the novel however, was not by the lovers, but by the woman's estranged husband. His sin was to think ill of other people, to the point of harming and killing them. His sin was not anchored on his love for the woman, but on his hatred towards the lovers. He was seeking deliberate destruction through illicit forms of knowledge. There are various identifiers on who committed the biggest sin in the novel. The biggest sin was identified because of the sinner's intention. It could also be identified by the lives these sinners lived, whether it is a life of repentance or a life filled with hate. Finally, the most important identifier for the biggest sin is the sinner's determination to make up for these sins.
"Who commits the biggest sin?" topic?
The first identifier for the biggest sin was the sinner's intention when he committed that sin. In the novel, the sinners were the lovers Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale, and Hester's estranged husband, Roger Chillingworth. Roger Chillingworth faces the biggest sin in the novel because of his intentions in when he committed the sinful acts. His primary sin was to think evilly of his wife and her lover, with intentions of harming them both and murdering them. Roger Chillingworth represents true evil, with his intentions purely on the deliberate destruction of others rather than correcting other's mistakes. He is also associated with the use of illicit forms of knowledge like his various chemical experiments and illegal medical practices that can be associated to witchcraft and crimes like murder. In Hawthorne's 8th chapter entitled "Another view of Hester", he stated that "Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility" (Hawthorne Chapter 8). This means that people who feel hatred may eventually outgrew hate, transforming it into love and acceptance. However, there are truly some who cannot do so because they are constantly thinking of the irritation it brings, thus awakening the original feelings of hostility. This is manifested by Roger Chillingworth, who intends to have his revenge no matter what it takes.
With the Roger Chillingworth's life intension based on revenge, he fits in as the biggest sinner on another identifier. This one is based on the life that each sinner lived, whether it is a life of repentance or a life still full of hate. Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale lived a life of repentance, wherein they both bear the scarlet letter in their chests. Dimmesdale was able to conceal it, since he holds an important position in the church. For Hawthorne, concealing the mark won't change anything: "Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart" (Chapter 2). The mark they carry is a sign that they are bearing the pain of their sins anywhere they go. Their suffering is a proof that they bear it deep within their hearts. On the other hand, Roger Chillingworth is living a life full of hatred, wherein he is more concerned with revenge rather than fixing the matters with his wife and her lover. He is bent on destroying those who he thinks opposed him. With his life so full of anger, it is almost impossible to make amends with a person like him. As a husband, Roger Chillingworth was really neglectful, yet he expects that his wife would love and care for him. Despite the mistakes that Hester made, she was still willing to make up for all her sins. This is the final identifier for the biggest sin committed in the novel, which Roger Chillingworth still fits in.
The final identifier for the biggest sin is whether or not the sinner is doing anything to make up for his mistakes. It is important to know whether or not the sinner is determined to make up and correct his mistakes. According to Hawthorne, a sin is like an ailment; "A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part" (Chapter 10). Hawthorne allusion to a disease means that it can be cured. He even emphasized that it could just be an ailment of the spiritual part, wherein it could be remedied by spiritual healing, by the repentance being made by both Hester and Arthur. On the other hand, Roger Chillingworth has made no efforts to change his ways and redeem his sins. Instead, he kept on spying on the two, and scheming on how he would be able to get even with Hester's betrayal and adulterous acts with Arthur.
Roger Chillingworth committed the biggest sin in the Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, "Scarlet Letter." This is because he neglected his wife, that she sought the love from someone who can give to her. The only sin that Hester and Arthur committed was to fall in love at a wrong situation. Their sin was rooted on love, as compared to the sins of Roger, which are rooted to hate and destruction. The lovers lived a life of repentance, while Roger lived a life full of hate. Above all, Roger didn't show any efforts to change his way and make up for his mistakes.

Plug-in Car Grant: Everything you need to know
Back to 'Expert guides'
The Plug-in Car Grant has been through a variety of changes since its initial launch in 2011. By providing a discount on the price of an electric vehicle, it has slowly helped motorists reduce emissions and take their first step into the future of cleaner driving.
As more and more electric vehicles have come to market in the nine years since its launch, the grant has undergone various changes, whether that's adjustments to the amount available or plug-in hybrids no longer being eligible.
The grant was supposed to have ended this year, but the government has announced its continuation until 2023. Now at a reduced rate of £3,000, only electric vehicles are eligible for the grant and these must have a purchase price under £50,000, emissions of less than 50g/km and a zero emissions range of more than 70 miles.
Which lease cars qualify for the Plug-in Car Grant?
Compared to when the grant was launched in 2011, there's a huge variety of choice on offer in the electric vehicle segment. These range from lowest priced models such as the new Skoda Citigo iV and new Renault Zoe up to the Hyundai Kona and Tesla Model 3.
These vehicles have CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km and can travel at least 112km (70 miles) without any emissions at all:
Audi e-tron - Not eligible
Audi e-tron Sportback - Not eligible
BMW i3 and i3s
Hyundai Nexo - Not eligible
Jaguar I-Pace - Not eligible
Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive
Mercedes-Benz EQC - Not eligible
Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer
Nissan e-NV200 (five-seater and seven-seater)
Porsche Taycan - Not eligible
Skoda Citigo-e iV
Tesla Model S - Not eligible
Tesla Model X - Not eligible
Toyota Mirai - Not eligible
Vauxhall Corsa-e
Unfortunately more premium models such as the Tesla Model X, Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-tron are no longer eligible for the grant due to exceeding the £50,000 limit.
Compare all electric lease deals here.
Are options, packs and modifications included in the £50,000 eligibility cap?
The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) has updated the definition of the price of an electric vehicle for the grant after the £50,000 eligibility cap was announced at Budget 2020.
Eligible cars must be priced below £50,000 RRP. OLEV's new definition of what can and cannot be used to calculate this price is:
VAT, including VAT reclaimable by a business;
Vehicle manufacturer or dealer's mandatory extras including delivery charges or administration fees;
The battery cost (including where the battery is leased);
Any non-standard option fitted by the manufacturer or dealer affecting the powertrain.
Excluded:
Any non-standard option fitted by the manufacturer or dealer which does not relate to the powertrain;
Modifications such as 'police packs', ambulance/fire engine modifications;
Modifications for disabled users;
Warranty/Insurance and service packages etc;
First registration fee and cost of first licence;
Discounts.
How much of the Plug-in Car Grant am I eligible for?
If your electric vehicle fits the requirements of the grant – namely it has a zero-emission range of 70 miles between charging, CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km, and costs less than £50,000 – then you can benefit from the full grant. This pays 35% of the car's value up to the £3,000 grant limit.
Due to the relatively short notice given by the government for the reduction of the Plug-in Car Grant from £3,500 to £3,000, various manufacturers offered to top up the extra £500 until the end of March 2020. This has now expired.
How much will the Plug-in Car Grant reduce my lease costs?
Rather than being deducted in one lump sum, the Plug-in Car Grant is deducted and spread evenly across the term of the lease. This can reduce the monthly cost of a 36-month contract by around 25%, or £100 a month, according to the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA).
This often helps bring the cost of a new EV in line with the price of an equivalent petrol or diesel model.
How do I apply for the Plug-in Car Grant?
When you place your order with the broker or dealer advertising the EV you want, they will handle the paperwork on your behalf and ensure the Plug-in Car Grant is requested and applied to your lease.
With the grant deducted from the car's initial purchase price, everything should be in hand for emissions-free motoring.
How long will the Plug-in Car Grant be available?
Both the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) would like to see the long-term continuation of the Plug-in Car Grant as a way for motorists to ensure zero emission motoring remains a viable option for more and more drivers.
Currently the government has committed to continuing the Plug-in Car Grant until the end of the 2022-23 financial year.

The development of a nationwide charging infrastructure for electric mobility faces a number of challenges at the technical, ecological and economic levels. The rapid development of fast-charging infrastructures is currently challenged by high costs as well as a lack of integration capability into the energy system. Hence, a methodical approach of the overall system is required in order to handle the paradigm shift induced by the ram-up of electric mobility for the transport and energy sectors. In this respect, methods and solution approaches for the design and evaluation of technical components, system architectures and business models for the development of the ecological and economic potentials of modern DC-based charging infrastructures for electric mobility are to be elaborated within the research project IDEAL.
An interdisciplinary consortium consisting of industry representatives in the field of charging systems for electric vehicles and scientists from RWTH Aachen University will develop adaptive DC-based system solutions. These are intended to achieve additional benefit for the energy system while reducing costs and increasing the resource efficiency of charging infrastructure.

On the part of FCN-ESE, the objective is to investigate the ecological impact of modern DC-based fast-charging infrastructures for electric mobility. The resource use and environmental impact of the DC-based charging infrastructure system over the entire life cycle compared to conventional charging systems will be analysed using the life cycle assessment method. Based on this, the changes in resource input as well as energy use in a large-scale deployment of the technology and their interactions with the energy system will be investigated. For this purpose, non-linear dependencies of the resource demand and the demand of essential components will be taken into account.

Districts Progress in First Year of Principal Initiative, Report Says
By Lesli A. Maxwell — July 09, 2013 2 min read
Six large school districts receiving tens of millions of philanthropic dollars to deepen their benches of principals became more discerning consumers of the school leadership programs they rely on to train prospective principals during their first year of participation in the initiative.
That conclusion comes from a first-year appraisal of the "Principal Pipeline Initiative," a $75 million investment by the New York City-based Wallace Foundation in six urban/suburban districts across the country. The six districts are: Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C.; Denver; Gwinnett County, Ga.; Hillsborough County, Fla.; New York City; and Prince George's County, Md. As part of the initiative, Wallace commissioned two outside research organizations—Policy Studies Associates, Inc., and the Rand Corp.—to conduct five different evaluations.
In this first-year evaluation of the program, the reviewers found that all six districts had made progress on exercising more control and consumer power over aspiring principals and the training they get. All had identified specific standards and competencies (tailored to their district) that aspiring leaders need. All continued, or began, collaborating with selected universities. And, in most cases, districts created or expanded their in-house leadership programs.
In exchange for the Wallace investment, the six districts agreed to work on comprehensive methods to identify, train, evaluate, and support principals. (The Wallace Foundation also supports coverage of leadership, expanded learning time, and arts learning in Education Week.)
Overall, reviewers found that the districts were actively working on all areas of the pipeline in their first year.
All of them, to varying degrees, have begun refining their hiring practices to align with new and revised leadership skill sets that they have identified and to be more uniform. In Prince George's County, for example, the district now requires principal candidates to go through a uniform set of activities that they are judged on, and principal selection relies far less on personal recommendations. In Hillsborough County, questions for prospective principals in job interviews were scripted and all candidates are now asked the same questions and scored on the same rubric for their answers. All six districts now put candidates through real or simulated school environments and observe how they handle various scenarios.
All the districts also had efforts underway to revamp and strengthen principal evaluations and were in varying stages of beefing up supports for their rookie principals through professional development and coaching.
That the districts overall seemed to make progress in their first year of the pipeline initiative shouldn't be much of a surprise. After all, they were selected for investment by Wallace, in part, because they were already devoting time, attention, and money to principal preparation. But as the districts get deeper into this and the evaluations become more detailed, it will be interesting to see how the pipeline work chugs ahead, especially in Prince George's County, which is in the midst of a huge governance change, and in New York City, where the 12-year run of mayoral control over the school system may start to look different when a new city leader is elected to replace outgoing Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Game on: Nova Scotia education minister orders rugby reinstated at high schools
Education Minister Zach Churchill has ordered the Nova Scotia School Athletic Federation to reinstate rugby at high schools across the province.
There was swift and strong public opposition to the NSSAF decision to pull the sport from schools

Nova Scotia Education Minister Zach Churchill has ordered high school rugby to be reinstated across the province.
On Thursday, the Nova Scotia School Athletic Federation cancelled public school high school rugby games because of safety concerns.
In a statement released Friday, the minister said the federation neglected to consult school communities about the move and did not inform the Education Department it intended to make the decision public.
That contravened its memorandum of agreement with the province, Churchill said.
He also referred to concerns by Dr. Robert Strang, the province's chief medical officer of health, and other physicians who publicly urged the NSSAF to reverse the decision.

"Given the perspective offered by the province's Medical Officer of Health, and the contravention of the MOA, the Minister of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has called on NSSAF to reinstate rugby for all high schools immediately for the duration of the season," the statement said.
Churchill also asked the NSSAF to work with the department on putting together a panel of experts "to thoroughly review and assess available research on safety in sports for school sports across Nova Scotia."
Claire Avery, a rugby player at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, N.S., says she's grateful that the rugby program is back on. (Submitted by Claire Avery)
Claire Avery, a rugby player at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, N.S., was thrilled to hear high school rugby games are back on.
"I heard the news and I was ecstatic," she said. "I'm so thankful for Rugby Nova Scotia, Jack Hanratty — who's actually my coach — he fought for us, and Rugby Canada.
"All of the girls, all of the guys who protested … I'm just so proud of the rugby community and all that we've done, and I've never been happier to be a player in Nova Scotia right now."
Nearly 200 rugby players participated in a protest Friday outside the Halifax Convention Centre, where the Nova Scotia School Athletic Federation was hosting a "Celebration of School Sport Luncheon."
Avery did not know if the original schedule would resume. "Even just bringing back the program for next year is such a big step. We didn't even think this was possible, but it is great."

Hanratty, provincial coach with Rugby Nova Scotia, said he was relieved and "almost emotional" when he heard the news.
"I am just so incredibly proud of the young athletes who showed how passionate they are about this sport."
However, he said there's work to be done to improve safety in the sport.
" I think the one thing that we have to fully understand is that rugby isn't as safe as it can be. We want to be in these conversations, we want to make the game safer. So there's no longer a battle ahead, instead it is a conversation, a partnership with ourselves and the NSSAF," he said.
"I'm just really excited that this isn't a battle to reinstate players and the opportunity to play. This is an opportunity for us to play and make the game better, enjoyable and safe."
'The point was made'
The father of a rugby player at Lockview High School in Fall River, N.S., said the experience, while harrowing, taught his daughter a valuable lesson. His daughter participated in Friday's protest in downtown Halifax.
"The conversation I had with my daughter about a half an hour ago was that this was a life lesson, not a kid lesson, not a high school lesson, but a life lesson," Larry Peyton said.
"That when you draw the line in the sand and you really believe that something is wrong, that you need to do what you're prepared to do in a lawful, proper manner … I am beaming right now, not because I feel we have won but because I just feel that the point was made and this really should not have happened in the first place."
He doesn't believe the game needs drastic changes to improve safety.
"Yeah, they hit each other and tackle each other. But they also put their hand out to pick each other back up. They are not barbarians. It's an old sport and you know it really is less dangerous than people think it is."

Weapon: Air rifles (to these are also counted compressed air rifles, which use cold gases for the propulsion) in calibre 4.5 mm and a maximum weight of 5.5 kg, a maximum muzzle energy of 7.5 joules.
Comment: Internationally, men shoot 60 shots and women 40 shots.
For the seniors' class (from 56 years of age), divided up in the groups A, B and C, a bench rest discipline is offered; weapons, ammunition, targets and distance are the same as with 10 m air rifle (see rule 9 of the sport regulations).


As a young girl I asked —"What is reality and how will I know when I've met it?" This inquiry is at the heart of why I continually study, teach, and apply ways to dynamically and consciously balance all that I do and then offer that to others.
My career as a business owner, senior corporate executive, and research scientist; my joy as a wife and mother; and my love of nature and of living with the mystery of creative expression fuels the larger inquiry of my life.
For 35 years I have studied with renowned teachers in the Shambhala Buddhist, Taoist, and Native American traditions and taught Mindfulness Meditation. Synthesizing and applying the wisdom of these traditions to the practicalities of modern life and enterprise is my life's passion.
I use a powerful methodology which I developed for working with the challenges and opportunities people face when they commit to living their fullest life. This method involves a strategic conversation between our inner and outer landscapes, and is designed to lead to a whole, engaged, and thriving experience. This method is known as The Stone Work/Mandala Process and I offer it through my business, Advisor for Enlightened Living at www.advisorel.com.
That is where my student and co facilitator relationship with the Taoist lineage holder and author Eva Wong began—exploring how we bring the best of wisdom traditions and skills to the modern world. From that, the workshop on Living a Balanced Life emerged and with it profound and very accessible teachings not widely available. We offer an entirely new and dynamic insight into what balance and consciousness are and a workbook that engages people well beyond the workshop.
Let's positively influence the future. Let's come together to consciously balance our lifestyles so we can contribute in our unique ways. Let's live fully empowered lifestyles based on engaging our realities and enjoying ourselves along the way.

Changing the engine oil and filter of your vehicle at the right intervals is important to protect the engine from premature wear and tear. Most auto manufacturers give recommendations on how often a car owner should change their oil and filter to prolong the life of the car's engine.
We, at B&C Auto Center can help you with your vehicle's oil and filter change. Being one of the leading centers for San Jose auto repair and maintenance service, we offer oil and filter change service as well as different car repair jobs for all foreign and domestic cars. We advise our customers on when they should change their vehicle's oil and filter so that the engine will run efficiently for many years to come.
Some auto manufacturers recommend changing the oil once a year or every 7,500 miles. However, most auto experts, aftermarket service professionals suggest that it is always better to follow the three months-3,000 miles schedule, especially when you are using your vehicle in severe driving conditions. This is the reason why most auto manufacturers provide the "Severe Service" maintenance schedule in the car owner's manual, recommending oil and filter change intervals of three to six months or 3,000 miles. However, many car owners are not aware of what calls for 'severe service'.
Such driving conditions call for severe service of your vehicle. Even if you use protective additives in the motor oil, it will not provide protection in such driving conditions. Remember, if your engine is not allowed to run long enough, it will not get the oil hot. As a result, fuel vapors and moisture will not boil off, leading to accumulation of contaminants in the crankcase. Formation of corrosive acids and sludge buildup will result.
The expert auto mechanics and auto repair technicians in our San Jose center also recommend regular oil changes for preventive maintenance. In fact, they think it is the most economical insurance you can get against engine wear and tear. It can help you save money in the long run by reducing the possibility of more costly engine repairs When it comes to replacing the filter, we suggest that it too needs to be changed every time you change the oil. And there are reasons- first, the filter contains dirty oil that can contaminate fresh oil added during an oil change; and second, the pint-sized filters do not contain as much filter material as their quart-sized counterparts.
Call or email us today at 408-457-1184 or [email protected] and schedule your vehicle's next oil and filter change. An engine that has been well maintained with regular oil and filter changes will require you to spend less on its maintenance, repair or service!

Construction worker dies at Texas A&M stadium
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- A demolition worker has died of injuries received when he fell four stories from Texas A&M's under-renovation football stadium. A university statement says Angel Garcia was working for Lindamood Demolition when the accident happened about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the north end of Kyle Field. The 25-year-old worker died a short time later at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Bryan. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Texas A&M University System and university police are investigating the accident. Kyle Field is undergoing $450 million in upgrades to put in new grass and expand seating from 82,600 to 102,500. That would make it the largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference.

Often, when one thinks of Cuba and Hemingway, the book that comes to mind is The Old Man and the Sea. Indeed, in 1953, The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to their awarding of the Nobel Prize for Literature to Hemingway in 1954.
Perhaps a lesser-known book is A Moveable Feast. Written while Hemingway lived in Cuba at Finca Vigia, but not published until after his death, it is a memoir about Hemingway's years as a struggling, young, expatriate journalist and writer in Paris in the 1920s. If you have not yet read A Moveable Feast, we encourage you to add it to your reading list. You won't be disappointed!
Our pick of the month? The Cuban Table, by Ana Sofía Peláez with photography by Ellen Silverman. This cookbook provides delicious recipes, beautiful photographs, and interesting commentary on Cuba before and after the Revolution.

Hardly anyone visits Cuba without learning about Cuban art and noticing the exquisite and varied architecture. Three notable cities for art and architecture are Havana, Cienfuegos, and Trinidad.
While we met many talented contemporary Cuban artists during our visit, one of our favorites was Eduardo Yanes. Not only were we taken with his personality and smile, we LOVED nearly every piece he created. Our favorite was a painting titled Fly.

It is said that English Breakfast was invented by an American. Richard Davies, a transplanted Brit, for his New York enterprise, The Canton Tea Company (named after the tea market center city that became modern Guangzhou) in 1843. He seized on the authentically British sounding moniker, English Breakfast. Unknown at the time in Britain, an American tea tradition was born, that later found it's way to London. A rich, full bodied blend; an American tea tradition, and a British favorite for generations.
