from Barnsley the Perrier & Time Out award winning phenomena
Daniel Kitson
sunday 19 & monday 20 June 2005
La Java
Daniel is without the shadow of any doubt one of the funniest
& most original stand-ups in the world...
that's why he's won just about every award you can get on your mantel-piece,
has the approval and admiration of the entire comedy community...
and is such a hot ticket that when he came in 2002 we had to add an extra night.
This will be his 5th time in town - book early...
"F.f..f..f..f..f..f..f.uckin' b..b..b..b..rilliant!." Lee Mack
"Daniel Kitson is a contrary, childish, brat...and I love him like a brother.
Go see him. For the love of God just go see him." Adam Hills

Yes indeedy Daniel's back ! Currently holed up in New York making his US debut he'll be in Paris for the 4th time in 3 years... why ? Because he's that funny and he's one of the girls favorites
and he's not half bad on the back of my scooter.

So funny it's hairy !
"Daniel Kitson was a highlight of our trip to Paris. Thank you for providing such a fun lively venue. We had a blast. " Amy Scofield
Comedy regular Phil (Raz) Bradbury, wrote the following after Daniel's bonce boggling shows
"Daniel Kitson was dynamite last night. A comedy juggernaut that no French Trucker's barracades could ever hope to contain!
Thanks once again for another outstanding night at the legend that is the HDN."
TTFN, Raz 25/11/02
He came, he saw, he coughed a lot
and blew his nose rather loudly !
The Barnsley born and Barnsley bred
2002 Perrier Ward Winner
2001 Perrier Award Nominee,
winner of the Time Out Comedy Award
& also the Chortle award
"everyone's cup of tea"
Sunday 24, Monday 25
& Tuesday 26 February 2002
"Thanks for a cracking laugh with Daniel Kitson last night, Karel.
Dan the Man deserves massive plaudits for battling through his gig obviously well under the weather. I have no doubt that he is brilliantly funny and destined for big things.
I truly hope he can come back to Paris again and give us a flu-free performance in the future. All power to his anti-bodies today!!
On behalf of us all, thanks again, Eurocontrolling with a headache but still laughing!"
When he wasn't on stage he was sick as a dog in bed back at the hotel and when he wasn't in bed he was on the back of my scooter getting the paparazzi's eye view of Paris in 360 minutes. From the Alma underpass to the tip of the Eiffel Tower Daniel got to see Paris for the first time, took lots of flu removing medicine, drank pots of tea (the) and was incredibly funny. Whether competing in a courgette chopping contest, getting to grips with Britney's roadie or mocking the flock of farmers it was comedy at its very best. He'll be back "fitter and funnier" he says, though it may be hard to be funnier. Catch him in October after his London run.
Daniel & Karel get their Kits-on
After his first ever stand up performance at the age of 16 and subsequently winning a place in the grand final of the inaugral 'Open Mic Awards' at the age of 17, not to mention his £45 winning appearance on quiz show Blockbusters, Daniel took time out to finish his degree. Bursting back onto the comedy scene at the end of '98 he fast drew plaudits from critics and comedians alike with his uniquely profane, yet playful, brand of improvisation which moved him into the top clubs at an unprecedented rate.
Daniel has since moved through the ranks of comedians, his unpredictable talent establishing him as a favourite with audiences, bookers and fellow comedians alike. Taking his rude words and jokes not only the length and breadth of the UK but also as far a field as South Africa and Holland, his performance has evolved alongside his status. The scorching improvisation is still there but it is allied with a deceptively intelligent world view.
Currently one of the hottest properties on the circuit, Kitson has eschewed the standard career path favoured by fame hungry acts by refusing myriad offers to bring an objectified and compromised version of his comedy on to the TV screen in favour of taking his stand up to as many live gigs as he can, while earning acting roles in That Peter Kay Thing (Ch 4) and Dog Eat Dog (Tiger Aspect/Film Four).
This August both sides of Daniel Kitson will be appearing at the Edinburgh fringe when his one man show, 'Love Innocence and the Word Cock', debuts at the Pleasance. After conquering the legendary 'late 'n' live' last year and building up a following in the process, he is returning to the lions den to compere the hardest gig with the rowdiest crowds.
"Daniel Kitson must be a comedy genius - he certainly hasn't slept his way to the top!"

Eunice was born in 1940 at Lupul in the Sir Frederick Ranges. When Eunice was a little girl, and like so many other Aboriginal families at the time, shortages of food forced her family east towards the ration stations being set up in central Australia. She remembers the travels with her family very vividly and refers to it as when her mother carried her piggy back all the way from Western Australia to Haasts Bluff.
Now an important woman in the community Eunice is well known for her hunting skills, dancing and traditional law knowledge. Eunice started painting with the opening of the Ikuntji Women's Centre in August of 1992. Prior to that during the 1970s she assisted her husband Gideon Tjupurrula Jack who was painting at Papunya Tula. Eunice's paintings are interpretations of her country near Lake Mackay. She uses layers of colour to build up a vision of the bush flowers and grasses. Amongst this landscape Eunice's personal stories are told, either of the travelling of her tjukurrpa – the Bilby – or the people who once lived in the area. Her father was Tutuma Tjapangarti, one of the first men to paint for Papunya Tula. Eunice also paints his country, which includes Tjukurla, Tjila, Kurulto and Lupul. Her mother was from the Walpiri side of Lake Mackay – Winparrku – in Western Australia. A brilliant colourist, Eunice's Hairstring, Tali (sandhill), Mungada (apple) and wildflower paintings display great talent and dedication to her profession and traditions. Her Hairstring works are made up of thousands of varied colour strokes, representing the hair being rolled on women's thighs to make bags and clothing. Her Mungada (apple) works hold myriad dusted mauve circles overlaying the ground of varicoloured-feathered brushwork. Highly collectable, Eunice is represented in leading galleries worldwide.

A Different Perspective On Metropolis Architecture
ALL ARTICLE ABOUT SPORTS VENUES
SPORTS VENUES CONSTRUCTION
Architect i.m. Pei once said, "Architecture is a form of social art".
Every metropolitan building shoulders the mission of the times, pays tribute to the characters of the times with its own splendor, tells the prosperity of the times in the past, and stands as a city landmark, dialoguing with the world.
Every city has its own architecture of the era.
Architecture, as the most intuitive expression of human's use of nature and the transformation of the world, not only carries the survival of mankind, but also divides the space of the city with the evolution of civilization.
Every city, by a building of skyscrapers standing to create a new skyline, changing the face of the times. Like the internationally famous metropolis of manhattan, as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the magnificent architectural complexes are attracting attention, and the skyscrapers next to central park are unique architectural art to become the city of new york's label.
Likewise, wanda sports new city, located in the core of dalian's northward advancement, draws the blueprint of epoch-making sports habitat, integrates the metropolitan architectural style into the growth of the city, presents the cutting-edge habitat of the times, represents the life height and spiritual symbol of the city, and becomes the benchmark of dalian's habitat in dialogue with the world.

The Russian rouble hit a ten week high in late December with analysts saying it could move higher in the coming year on the back of an economic recovery and firming crude prices.
The Russian Rouble strengthened 2.8% against the US dollar and 9.4% against the euro between January and November 2010.December brought yet more gains with rising oil prices and returning confidence in Russia fueling the rally. Sergey Moiseev, Head of the Center of Economic Research believes it will strengthen.
The Central Bank of Russia says it may relax controls on the rouble further next year as it aims to make the currency free floating. This is key in realising the government's ambition to promote it as an international reserve currency.The importance of the rouble has also recently been given a boost by the start of trading against the Chinese Yuan on the Micex.
Given all these factors, Yaroslav Lissovolik, chief economist from Deustche bank, thinks the rouble could strengthen in 2011, although he does not see the central bank moving to a free float, and adds the Russian currency is likely to remain volatile.
But when it gets down to it the rouble is still heavily dependent on commodity prices. Efforts to diversify the economy are slow in bearing fruit. That said, many analysts expect commodity price inflation in 2011, particularly as US authorities print more dollars, and that bodes well for the rouble.

SOG SEAL Pup Elite Review
SOG SEAL Pup Elite
Fighting Ability
Holds edge well
Long, durable blade
Grippy grip
Lightweight for its length
Difficult to conceal
Poorly designed rasp
SOG stands for "Studies and Observations Group."
This does not sound fearsome until you learn that they were an elite group of operatives during the Vietnam War, who designed their own fighting knife.
It was designed by Benjamin Baker, Deputy Chief of the US Counterinsurgency Support Office, and was supposed to be untraceable.
The SOG Knife was used by the best of the best in Vietnam, and it earned a reputation as a great fighting knife.
Years later, an improved version was created by Spencer and Gloria Frazer, who called their company SOG Specialty Knives.
Not merely a replica, it earned its own reputation.
So much so that the US Navy Seals adopted the SOG SEAL 2000.
It's big, mean, and effective. And has a child.
The SOG SEAL Pup Elite is a smaller version of the SEAL 2000 but it is no less capable in a fight than its ancestors.
Blade Length: 4.85″
Blade Shape: Clip Point, plain or serrated
Handle Material: Glass-Reinforced Nylon
Misc: Nylon or Kydex sheath, lanyard hole
The SOG SEAL Pup Elite may have a fiercely-cutesy name and may be shorter than the SEAL 2000, but do not expect this to be a tiny, adorable puppy.
With a fixed blade that's 4.85″ inches long and 0.185″ thick, and an overall length of 9.5″, the Pup is not a small dog.
The clip point, available with or without serrations, means that it is more bite than bark.
That almost-five-inch-long blade is made from AUS-8 stainless steel, but it's different from other AUS-8 steels on the market.
SOG has applied a unique Cryogenic Heat Treatment process that supposedly affects the atoms of the steel, increasing the toughness of the blade while also increasing edge retention.
According to the manufacturer, this treatment involves cooling the knife down to -300 degrees Fahrenheit then bringing it back up to room temperature.
Supposedly, this relieves the stress on the blade from the manufacturing process, which strengthens the blade and protects against chips, wear, and fractures.
Then they've coated the blade in titanium nitride, a tough coating that is also sometimes used to improve gun parts or machining tools.
Or, if you prefer a silver knife, you can also get the Pup Elite with a satin polished blade.
The back of the blade is a bit of an odd duck. There's a place to put your thumb, but above that, the spine is a rasp.
This lets you use the back of the blade as a file, but the back of the blade is also scalloped, which reduces this functionality.
Despite the length and thickness of the blade, the knife only weighs 5.4 ounces, making it surprisingly easy to carry.
The handle is made from glass-reinforced Zytel, which is a high-strength Nylon resin.
It has a scale-like texture (what, no fur?) and finger grooves. Your hands won't slip off of this handle, even if they're covered in water or other liquids!
There's also a lanyard hole at the bottom of the handle.
Even the sheath is full of features. It's made from reinforced Nylon and has a Kydex insert to hold the blade in place.
A pocket on the front of the sheath can hold a multitool, flashlight, whetstone, or even some snacks.
It's also MOLLE compatible.
A molded Kydex sheath is available as well if that's more your speed. Not everyone like Nylon sheaths.
The SOG SEAL Pup Elite is first a fighting knife, but unlike some fighting knives, it is still a very strong survival knife.
It's strong enough to baton and is large enough for demanding tasks, without getting too hilariously long.
The edge comes out of the box sharp, and it takes a lot to dull the blade. The Cryogenic Heat Treatment may or may not be the cause, but the Pup Elite holds its edge well.
Durability also shines through in other ways. Go ahead, try to destroy this knife.
The knife is very quick in the hand, partially due to its surprisingly low weight.
Lastly, the handle is so comfortable in wet conditions that the SEAL Pup Elite is used as a diving knife.
It is based on a knife used by the Navy SEALs, after all…
If you want to conceal this knife, you better have a large frame. Even though the Pup Elite is smaller than its ancestors it is a long knife.
Also, the rasp on the back of the blade seems like a good idea, but the spine is curved in a way that causes two concave curves.
This reduces the functionality of the rasp. Files are normally flat or convex, not concave.
The rasp can also make it uncomfortable to put your hand on the back of the blade for certain tasks and also prevents you from steeling another knife with this one.
First of all, don't buy it from SOG's website. They sell at MSRP, but you can find the Pup Elite for almost half the price elsewhere.
This knife is good for non-cosmopolitan activity.
By that, I mean that if you're wearing a suit and tie, leave the Pup Elite at home.
If you don't expect to face hostile forces or you don't need to survive in the woods, look for a smaller EDC knife.
The Pup Elite too large and fierce to be a polite puppy.
But for when you're no longer in civilized company, the SEAL Pup Elite is an excellent choice for a blade.
Whether you need a fighting or survival knife, the Pup Elite will survive any task you throw at it and will bark for more.
Concealability: 2/5. This is a 9.5″ long fixed-blade fighting knife. It finds hiding cowardly.
Durability: 5/5. The glass-reinforced Nylon handle and cryogenically-treated AUS-8 steel just may outlive you.
Fighting Ability: 4/5. This is a fighting knife, from a line of fighting knives. But it has been shortened from its predecessor for a little more civility.
Utility: 4.5/5. While primarily a fighting knife, the Pup Elite is adept at handling itself as a tool in the woods. The high-quality sheath helps, too.
Overall: 4/5. The biggest stinker is the concave rasp. Other than that, this is a good fighting or survival knife.
SOG's SEAL Pup Elite is a great balance between fighting knife and survival knife, but you can lean one way or the other if you'd prefer.
For something a little bit smaller, try the Pup Elite's smaller brother.
Called the SEAL Pup, it's slightly smaller and has a powder finish to the blade, a smooth spine, and shallower finger grooves.
It's also a little bit cheaper.
Or, if you want something larger, you can buy the SOG SEAL Team Elite. It lengthens the Pup Elite's blade out to a whopping seven inches!
The Team Elite is even more of a fighting knife so it may be too long for more mundane work.
Previous How to Tie a Square Knot: Step by Step Instructions and Uses
Next How to Use a Knife for Self Defense
poor review and the writer can't get his facts straight. The SOG seal pup is the same length as the seal pup elite. The concealability 2 out of 5 rating is laughable. You want to conceal a knife? buy a folder. Common sense goes a long way.

Why Does Modern Motherhood Feel so Hard?
by Kate Rahman
I once spent a month keeping a dead praying mantis in a shoe box as a "pet" for my five-year-old son. We'd all pretend to feed it and play with it, and we even constructed a playground so it could get plenty of exercise. At one point I had to glue it back together when its brittle carcass split in half. For that month, the dead praying mantis was part of our family.
Every mom has a dead praying mantis story. We think nothing of trekking to the ends of the earth to protect the innocent hearts of our children. But for every tender dead bug moment there are moments of guilt, desperation, and the relentless pressure to always be doing more.
Motherhood is so rewarding, but… why does it feel so hard?
Because it is. And for the sake of our own sanity, we need to stop gaslighting ourselves about it. The pervasiveness of technology, our advanced understanding of child development, greater awareness of mental health, a sharper focus on inclusion, our volatile relationship with social media… It's all created distinct challenges for raising happy, healthy children. I think it's helpful for the moms who are currently in the thick of parenting to recognize we're facing obstacles that our Boomer parents didn't.
"The last ten years have brought extraordinary changes to the difficult and rewarding work of parenting," says Laura Clark, editorial director of Mom.com.
Sure, with each new era come challenges that uniquely impact being a mom: war, the women's rights movement, the invention of the television. But as a member of the Oregon Trail micro-generation – sandwiched between the cynicism of Gen X and the optimism of Millennials – it's very on brand for me to claim that it's harder to be a mom now than ever before in history.
Here are the primary reasons modern motherhood is significantly more difficult:
1. Moms are older.
Women are becoming mothers much later in life, and despite what biology tells us, I think it's a beautiful thing to unapologetically "do you" before having children. I had my first child eight years later than my mom had me. She moved directly from her parents' home into her home with my dad, whereas I spent my twenties earning my degrees, establishing a career, traveling the world, and relocating multiple times. When I got married and planted roots in my thirties, the transition to motherhood was jarring. Modern moms have a wider jump between seasons of life, and we're slower and more tired while we're doing it.
2. We can't stop sharenting.
We all want to feel confident in our choices as mothers. It's a strong part of our identity, and as humans we care what others think of us. Yet we habitually set ourselves up for criticism with every milestone photo and video we share with our social networks. I caught myself literally deleting a photo of my son eating ice cream in the car for fear of the persecution I might receive if the car seat straps weren't properly placed. These online forums can be a great source of support, connection, and information, but they're a slippery slope that can be harmful to our self-worth. No one is holding my feet to the fire, but… [shares adorable photo captioned "#boymom"]… I wonder if motherhood would be a better experience for me if I didn't know about clean sunscreens, the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding, or the Pinterest-perfect birthday parties. Then I could just focus on fiercely loving my kids.
3. Our village looks different.
Speaking of parent communities, I was told there would be a village… I love the notion that it's the responsibility of the entire community to wrap its arms around the next generation. But the ways people outside the nuclear family interact with our kids looks a lot different than it did when our parents were growing up. In 1960's suburbia, all the neighborhood moms knew one another and everyone else's children. You could trust that when your child left the house, everyone from the corner butcher to Jimmy's mommy down the block would look after them. The days when kids could pedal away on their bikes in the morning and return when the streetlights came on have been replaced with fears of abduction, sports and activities, and more transient neighborhood residents.
Because I'm an older mom, I inadvertently spent my pre-mom days making decisions that have made a traditional village less accessible. For instance, I relocated several times until landing in a trendy urban neighborhood dotted with beautiful city parks and busy six-way intersections. As a result, my neighbors are a mix of families, college kids, and random renters; my family and friends are sprinkled across multiple states; and my kids can't leave the house without adult supervision due to traffic and crime. I love my village, but it's less hands-on than the village that raised me.

Q: Cannot extend python IntEnum with a Mixin class EDIT: it turns out this was just a bug that has been fixed as of 3.7.1.
If I create a mixin class and try to add it to add it to an IntEnum, I get this error:
>>> from enum import IntEnum
>>> class Mixin:
...  pass
...
>>> class C(Mixin, IntEnum):
...  A=1
...  B=2
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\enum.py", line 211, in __new__
    enum_member = __new__(enum_class)
TypeError: object.__new__(C) is not safe, use int.__new__()

This doesn't work, either (same error):
from enum import IntEnum

class M: ...

class C(M, IntEnum): ...

class D(C):
 A=1
 B=2

The docs seem to indicate that this should be possible, and it does work for a regular Enum:
>>> from enum import Enum
>>> class Mixin:
...  pass
...
>>> class D(Mixin, Enum):
...  A=1
...  B=2
...
>>>

Not sure if this is a bug or a limitation of IntEnum. What is going on here?

A: This bug has been fixed since Python 3.7.1.

When Adolfi approached Lee about the idea, Lee said, "I've been waiting 35 years to do this." As preparation work for creating the painting, Lee, who has been involved with the search for Noah's Ark since the 1960s at Mt. Ararat, researched the topic extensively.
"I've gotten to know live witnesses who have been there, seen it, walked on it, touched it, and lived to describe it to me personally. I spent years working on this project and when John Adolfi called, it was a match made in heaven," he told the audience.
"We had input from our scientists at Loma Linda University… geologists, archeologists, theologians, historians… they all had a place in this," Lee explained.
He highlights the people in the foreground of the painting, some who are scoffing Noah. With their various dress and multiple ethnicities, they are symbolic of the world today, Lee said.
The painting will be on display at the church's world session in July 2005 in St. Louis, Missouri.
Other well-known works by Lee include "The Truth as it is in Jesus," "Victory in Jesus," and "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Restored." Some of his original work, including the mural, "The Christ of the Narrow Way," can be seen at the Adventist Church's world headquarters. Lee also presented a painting to the late United States President Ronald Reagan.

Sir Richard Sutton: Man accused of hotelier's murder tells court he 'snapped' when drunk
The defendant said in a call to his sister from prison that 'demons' made him lose control
Lamiat Sabin
Sir Richard Sutton, who owned a string of top hotels in London, was killed at his home in Dorset in April 2021
(Family handout/PA)
A man "snapped" while drunk before repeatedly stabbing his mother and her millionaire partner, a court has heard.
Thomas Schreiber, a 35-year-old from Dorset, is on trial at Winchester crown court over the incident on 7 April that coincided with the eighth anniversary of his own father's death.
He is accused of murdering aristocrat, hotelier and landowner Sir Richard Sutton, 83, and attempting to murder his mother Anne Schreiber, 66.
The defendant denies both charges of murder and attempted murder, but has admitted to manslaughter of Sir Richard, and pleaded guilty to driving a Range Rover dangerously on the A303, A4 and M3.
Mr Schreiber had led police on a 135mph chase to London before he pleaded with officers to shoot him after the Range Rover he was driving was stopped, the court heard.
Prosecuting barrister Adam Feest QC told the court on Wednesday that, after the attack, Mr Schreiber triggered an ANPR camera while driving Sir Richard's car on the A303 near Stonehenge.
The high-speed chase only halted when officers performed a "hard stop" on the vehicle in Chiswick, west London.
Mr Feest told the court: "Once the Range Rover had been forced to stop, the defendant remained in the driver's seat but appeared to be stabbing himself with a knife.
"In order to prevent further injury to him, the police tasered him, making him drop the knife.
"They then quickly dragged him out of the vehicle and restrained him."
Mr Feest said the defendant shouted to police: "Shoot me, I don't want to live."
He said Mr Schreiber admitted to medics that he had stabbed his mother and Sir Richard, saying: "I was drunk and just snapped."
Mr Feest said that Mr Schreiber later told police that "he loves his mother and Sir Richard and although the break-up of his parents' marriage made him feel not great, you have to move on".
It also emerged that, in a phone call from prison to his sister Louisa, Schreiber said that "it had been complete madness, he had lost control, it wasn't him but... demons".
Mr Feest said that a post-mortem examination of Sir Richard's body and an investigation of the "extensively blood-stained scene" suggested that he was attacked downstairs in the house.
He then managed to go upstairs, possibly to make an emergency call, where, after a "pause" in the violence, he was attacked again and died.
The examination by Home Office pathologist Dr Basil Purdue found that the injuries suffered by Sir Richard included three deep wounds to his face as well as five chest stab wounds up to 12cm deep.
Sir Richard also suffered wounds to his hands and arms. Mr Feest said this indicated that the victim was "capable of attempting vigorously to ward off or gain possession of a sharp-edged weapon being wielded against him by the defendant."
Ms Schreiber was found by police severely injured in the kitchen of the property in Higher Langham, Dorset.
Mr Feest said: "She recalls that the defendant lifted the knife up and must have stabbed her, although she does not recall actually being stabbed but does remember looking at the knife in her and being surprised that it did not hurt more, and saying something like 'what are you doing?'
"Anne described this experience as feeling like a bystander looking through a window. At some point she recalled that Sir Richard came in to the room shouting and screaming.
"This appeared to make the defendant more agitated and he stabbed his mother again.
"Anne could not recall what happened to Sir Richard after that, but does remember the defendant going behind her and stabbing her in the back. That was the last thing she knew."
Ms Schreiber suffered up to 15 stab wounds to the back of her head, arm, chest, neck, shoulder and back.
Mr Feest said: "Of most significance, one had caused a partial transection of the spinal cord and it is this injury which led to the most serious and ongoing physical consequences."
Who was Sir Richard Sutton and how did he die?
Sir Richard Sutton: Man admits manslaughter of millionaire hotelier but denies murder
Sir Richard Sutton death: Man charged with murder of one of UK's wealthiest men
Man arrested over death of millionaire Sir Richard Sutton remains in hospital
On Tuesday, the court was told Ms Schreiber remains in hospital seven months after her son repeatedly stabbed her with a kitchen knife that she has said was about 15cm long.
The prosecutor said she recalled that her son's eyes looked "terribly, terribly determined" and described him as looking "very, very unusual, very, very out of control".
The court was told that Ms Schreiber would not have survived the attack if it had it not been for the help of police and paramedics at the scene.
Jurors heard the defendant sent voice messages to friends and siblings after the incident apologising and saying he had killed his mother and Sir Richard.
The court heard that the defendant had unstable relationships with his siblings, his mother, and her partner after his parents separated in the early 2000s.
Mr Schreiber felt he was treated differently by his mother and Sir Richard compared to his sisters, the prosecutor said.

Palmdale Chick-fil-A opening Oct. 15, first 100 will win free Chick-fil-A for a year!
by The AV Times Staff • October 5, 2015
Located at 732 W. Rancho Vista Blvd., the Palmdale Chick-fil-A First 100 event will award more than $32,000 in free food, according to company officials.
PALMDALE – Palmdale's first stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant will open Oct. 15, bringing 75 new jobs, the chance for 100 adults to win free Chick-fil-A meals for a year and the opportunity for community members to donate books that will benefit the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club in Palmdale, company officials announced Monday.
This month marks the 12-year anniversary of the chain's First 100 event with more than $25 million in free food having been given away since it was first held in 2003 in Arizona.
Chick-fil-A's "First 100" celebration continues to be the chain's signature grand opening event, which transforms the restaurant parking lot into a 24-hour community friendly party as the crowd awaits the opening.
Located at 732 W. Rancho Vista Blvd., the Palmdale Chick-fil-A First 100 event will award more than $32,000 in free food. A digital offer card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A Meals (52 meals with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries™ and a medium beverage) will be given to each of the first 100 eligible adults, ages 18 and older with identification, in line when the doors open at 6 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15.
Campers are expected to start lining up 24-hours ahead of the Oct. 15 opening, company officials said Monday. (Image from past opening event courtesy Chick-fil-A)
If more than 100 people are onsite when the line officially forms at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14, then all 100 spots will be determined by a drawing held that morning with those selected needing to camp out for 24 hours to secure their spot. This community event is open to guests residing in specific zip codes surrounding the restaurant. A complete listing of eligible zip codes and rules can be found at Chick-fil-A First 100 Promotion. [View it here.]
Chick-fil-A believes in partnering with organizations that enrich education, literacy and youth. In that spirit, Palmdale Operator Randall Brookshire is collecting new children's books for the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club at his restaurant on Wednesday, Oct. 14, through Friday, Oct. 16, from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. The books collected during the grand opening celebration will be placed in a nearly three-foot Book House to serve as a free library exchange – allowing anyone to take a book after replacing it with one of their own. The Book House, created from old and thrown out wood, is one of several community programs and opportunities being made possible through the support of the Chick-fil-A Foundation.
Brookshire brings more than 13 years of Chick-fil-A experience to the new location, having started working with the chain during high school, with his twin brother and older brother all being hired at the same time. Brookshire earned a Chick-fil-A Leadership Scholarship, which he used to attend Georgia Tech, while continuing to work at Chick-fil-A, and graduated in business management. Following college, he worked for the chain's corporate office as a grand opening supervisor, traveling the country for 2.5 years helping to open new Chick-fil-A locations. His hard work paid off when he was selected as the Operator for the Palmdale location, no small feat as the company receives more than 24,000 Operator applicants a year for roughly 100 opportunities.
"Personalized customer service and freshly prepared food have been the hallmarks of Chick-fil-A since the day founder Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant," said Brookshire. "My team members and I are committed to those same ideas as we welcome our guests to our new Palmdale restaurant and provide them with a remarkable experience."
The opening of Palmdale's first stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant will create 75 new jobs. Featuring the chain's newest interior and kitchen design, the new location can seat 110, which includes a community table for larger groups to sit together. The restaurant also includes dual drive-thru ordering lanes that enable motorists to place orders at separate screens and then merge into a single lane to pay and pick up their orders. With a majority of Chick-fil-A customers choosing the drive-thru, the ability for two drivers to simultaneously order will mean quicker service.

Question: of those 75 jobs, how many pay minimum wage? How many are close to having pay enabling an adult to provide for a family?
Observation: when well over 100 adults find it worth their time to spend 24 hours – 3 regular work days – camped out in a parking lot (community friendly – come again?) in the remote hope of scoring $300 in junk food – that is the sign of a failed society.
Seriously.? Fast food is not a career, if you want to make more than minimum wage, get an education and get a real job. We have become an entitled society. Our ancestors did not sit around whining about how little they were paid,they figured out how to make more. Get off your butts .. i don't owe you anything..
Wow! Linda. If you could only hear yourself.
We found him. says
We found the fast food worker.
The American Dream is not to work for others, slaving away for minimum wage. The American Dream is to create a business, to hire others.
Linda has a point, entry level jobs are jobs. They are meant to be learned from and then to move on, to move up, to move out and create your own.
Lack of jobs is partially the fault of industrial mechanisation. More so it is the fault of a mindset where branded corporations are the end all of living. There are opportunities out there if one is willing to learn, and take a few well educated risks.

Question Lancaster Authority says
I think it's hilarious that a Christian company didn't choose to open in Rex's so-called "Christian" city. If Chick-fil-A's executives are worth their salt, they probably did a lot of research on Palmdale and Lancaster and came to the conclusion that actions speak louder than words. Rex and his band of nitwits could drive a man dying of thirst back into the desert, with all the shenanigans, wacked out ideas, and general corruption. Besides, maybe with all the bird sounds on the BLVD, it would make people think twice about eating chicken…har, har, hardee, har, har!
10dog says
Rex does not go by the Blble, so he is like a lot of people who call themselves Christian. The Chick-fil owners are Christian that follow the Bible. John3:16
Diego Del Monte says
I'm sure they have no clue or interest in Rex as they picked a spot between the mall and the freeway.
Get al Job says
Except for teenagers, who the heck is going to go camp out in front of a fast food restaurant? Don't people work? I always say the same thing about the people who camp out in front of Best Buy every year for Black Friday. So bizarre to me. I think it would be a fun thing for a teenager to do, but then they should be in school. So who the heck does this?
Their chicken sandwich is no better then AMPM.
QHR says
Hopefully there is adequate space inside. The Habit Burger Grill and Dickey's BBQ do not offer much space inside for their customers.
I know. Isn't it awful that Americans are so obese, they can't fit into a fast food restaurant?
The cure for obesity in America??? Make the doorways to the restaurants really narrow and no take out.
dumbandblind says
Here's one more suggestion William:
Foodstamps should be based on weight. The heavier the recipient, the less they get.
Tim says
That has more to do with the sheer numbers of people who eat there rather than the space itself. Barones on the BLVD was pretty small but never felt crowded.
That's because it was on the BLVD and had nothing to do with the size of the place.
The best thing about all those stores and restaurants in that corner of Rancho Vista Boulevard and 10th Street West is the couple of interior streets or private driveways that access them.
You can come the back way from the Lowe's direction instead of all the traffic having to enter from RV Blvd to go to The Habit.
I think that's what makes that area such a vibrant business location rather than a horrible traffic clusterfest even though there is probably the most traffic there than anywhere in the Antelope Valley.
You could enter by the Sport's Chalet, shop there, then at Smart n Final, Staple's or Best Buy and head on over to all the restaurants like Carl's Jr., Numero Uno, Chick fil A all without ever having to be on the main thoroughfares
I make similar but fewer stops at that location all the time. It's like one gigantic shopping center similar to the permeter road at the AV Mall or even the BevMO, Applebee's center across the street.
Someone was on the ball planning all that way back when. The only thing that could make it better would be to connect the Lowe's center with the Home Depot thru a freeway underpass but that's asking for the moon.
And, that area is right off the freeway unlike the old Factory Outlet or the blvd in Lancaster which is probably why they both didn't make it.
Location. Location. Location. They should have elected a real estate developer instead of a trial lawyer over in Lancaster.
AV Observer says
That is because Lancaster was developed where the good old boys owned the property, and Palmdale was developed with attention to creating synergy. This is why Palmdale has left Lancaster in the dust. But to the good old boys who have profited from this, and the political hacks like Parris who oversee this corrupt kingdom, they can care less. They have their money. To hell with the people of Lancaster.
SC says
I agree with that, but need to add one thing; coming towards the mall next to Applebee's and making a right turn is terrible because the traffic coming out of the mall turning left never yields to you. They are supposed to yield to the cars turning right and many times don't, causing a mess! There should be a green arrow installed for them before more accidents happen because some people don't want to wait (or abide by road laws). Traffic on 1oth West near Rancho Vista has become terrible , as well as Palmdale Blvd.
Johnny Trece says
Chick-fil-A serves the best chicken sandwiches I have ever tasted. The chicken is very tasty and it is a lot healthier than beef. The Chick-fil-A that I used to go to in Oswego, IL is always closed on Sunday (which I think is a positive because employees can be with their families on that day). I wonder if this Palmdale Chick-fil-A will do the same? Because of it's location on Avenue P (being close to the AV mall), it can gain a lot of profit on Sunday.
Just for those out there that hasn't tried Chick-fil-A, give it a try. It's worth it.
first says
Sunday is the first day of the week. It is a work day!
true says
True, the Sabbath is Saturday. Jesus was Jewish, his father worked on the universe for 6 days and took the 7th off, it was called Sabbath. But then again many Christians do not understand Jesus was Jewish and followed Jewish practices.
Excuse me but how do we know that Jesus was jewish?
About 30% of republicans don't think President Obama is a Christian, so how can trust hearsay from 2000 years ago?
I need better documentation that Jesus was jewish.
Thank you true.
it's owned by Mormons, of course it will be closed.
Lol, Google Truett Cathy, he's the owner and a Southern Baptist, not a Mormon. Mormons are awesome though!
Sunday is still the first day of the week.
The chicken is healthy until they roll it in that powdered sugar batter. Might as well use a glazed doughnut for a bun. Sure it tastes good, healthy, not so much.
I had a hamburger on a glazed donut bun one time. Not the least bit healthy, and definitely too weird for regular consumption, but it was good.

Mountain view, California (BCN) – Valley Transportation Authority employees say there is no risk of infection. This, after four of his drivers had been infected with scabies – a small bug that burrows under the skin and causes an itchy rash.
The VTA staff quarantined a dozen buses at Mountain View's northern yard.
"VTA has commissioned a shredder to additionally clean the buses. This is an extra precaution. To make sure our employees and the public have no cause for concern, "said Brandi Childress, a spokeswoman for the VTA.
Scabies is a small beetle or a small mite that drills into the skin. Once there, it causes a rash that spreads out of the fingers. Some passengers fear that the equipment used in their single transport method will now be quarantined for exposure.
"It's scary, but I have no (other) choice because I only have VTA," said bus passenger Sherajum Monira.
A scab infection is generally treated with a topical antibiotic, and Santa Clara County Vector Control officials say the infection comes from closer personal contact. Not from driving or touching a bus.
"It's generally unlikely that you'll get it, say, shake hands or a hug or anything like that. Sitting in a chair is also unlikely, "said Dr. Noor Tietze from the Vector Control District of Santa Clara County.
VTA officials say they will have all 130 buses stationed at their North Station cleaned at the weekend. They absorb the seats and wipe hard surfaces with bleach.
"We take the maintenance and cleanliness of our buses very seriously," said Childress.
The 12 affected buses run on four lines – lines 22 and 522 from San Jose to Palo Alto and lines 55 and 88, which run north of the district.
One driver told KTVU that he and others were worried that more workers could show symptoms in the coming days.
"I was somehow worried, yes, most of all, that we could bring that to our families," he said.
VTA officials say they've distributed information and logs to some 1,600 bus drivers to find out how four have become infected with scabies.

Since I do not feel paying 15$ monthly for a game that is clearly in development phase, I decided to quit.
I will read the forums from time to time, and might come back when the game stabilizes.
- For a released game the changes put in after go live and the changes planned in the future are too drastic, you can do that in the development phase, but not after the final release. I'm talking about skill decay, totem decay, animal difficulty changes, combat changes etc.
- Do not patch on weekends. Most of the time something goes wrong and many ppl only have the weekend to play, and you are taking away that opportunity from them.
- Stick to a vision you have and do not change it. As it is now, this game is not really for the FFA PvPers and its not for the PvE/crafters. Decide what type of players you want to please and stick to that. As it is now, crafters/PvE hunters could be killed anywhere by other players, making them rage quit, and the PvPers cannot really conquer other tribes so there is no real meaningful PvP. This makes everybody unhappy.
cu. i also say goodbye for now. I will keep the forum in my eyes. Hope there comes a reason to come back soon.
It would be nice to stay, but I can't justify spending the $ for a sims right now. I really want to get our lands finished and enjoy playing, however, it is just not meant to be until more things are working better. Levald and I will be keeping up on the forums and hope to be back playing in the future.
When a game starts to be only frustrating all the time, its time to move on to other more entertaining games.
No need to be depressed. Games are supposed to be fun.
I have been a champion for this game all along, and still believe with time that they will have something very unique in the MMO genre.
But for now, without the ability to gain and keep new players, for someone like me, there is little point in playing. I sure cannot build everything I would like to by my lonesome, nor do I like playing alone most days. This game is designed around group dynamics, but alas there is no group to play with.

\section{Introduction}\label{introduction}

The group of classical $\lambda$ Bootis stars comprises late B to early F-type, Population I
stars, with moderate to extreme (up to a factor of 100) surface underabundances
of most Fe-peak elements and solar abundances of lighter elements (C, N, O,
and S). They are rare, with a maximum of about 2\% of all objects in the relevant
spectral domain, between the zero- and terminal-age main-sequence (ZAMS and TAMS), are found to be
such objects (\citealt{Pau02b}).

\citet{Mic86} suggested that the peculiar chemical
abundances on the stellar surfaces are due to selective accretion of circumstellar (CS) material.
Due to gravitational settling and radiative acceleration, it is then mixed
in the shallow convection zone of the star. This explains why the anomalous abundance
pattern is similar to that found in the gas phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) in which
refractory elements like iron and silicon have condensed into dust grains.

Later on, \citet{Kam02} and \citet{Mar09} developed a model which describes the interaction
of the star with its local ISM and/or CS environment. As a result, different levels of underabundance
are produced by different amounts of accreted material relative to the photospheric mass.
The small fraction of this star group on the main-sequence (MS) is explained by the low probability
of a star-cloud interaction and by the effects of meridional circulation, which dissolves any
accretion pattern a few million years after the accretion has stopped. The hot end of this model is
due to significant stellar winds for stars with $T_\mathrm{eff}$\,$>$\,12\,000\,K whereas
the cool end, at about 6500\,K, is defined by convection which prevents the accreted
material manifesting at the stellar surface.

Strong support for the selective accretion scenario has been given by \citet{Fol12} who found that
half of their sample of Herbig Ae/Be stars exhibit the characteristic $\lambda$ Bootis type abundance
pattern. We know that the density of CS material around Herbig Ae/Be stars is very high, perfectly
suited as the source for accretion.

Almost all $\lambda$ Bootis stars are located within the classical $\delta$ Scuti/$\gamma$ Doradus
instability strip. \citet{Pau02a} presented a detailed analysis of their pulsational behaviour.
They concluded that at least 70\% of the group members inside the classical instability strip pulsate,
and they do so with high overtone p-modes (Q\,$<$\,0.020\,d).

In this paper, we present the newly detected $\gamma$ Doradus pulsational characteristics of the classical
$\lambda$ Bootis star, HD 54272. Interesting enough, it was misidentified as a RR Lyrae type star by
\citet{szczygiel2007}. We performed a detailed time series analysis of the Wide Angle Search for Planets
(WASP) and All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) photometric data. Four statistically significant frequencies
and their combinations were detected. Our findings are discussed in comparison
with the first hybrid $\lambda$ Bootis/$\gamma$ Doradus
star, HR 8799. The latter is a very interesting young object hosting at least four planets and a
massive dusty debris disk \citep{Esp13}. HD 54272, on the other hand, is a fast rotating star almost at the TAMS
with no detected IR excess. From spectroscopy, we deduce a metallicity of $-$0.8 to $-$1.1\,dex compared to
the Sun. This fact together with the high projected rotational velocities, make this object an interesting
and important test case for models dealing not only with $\gamma$ Doradus pulsation, but also with
selective accretion in the presence of meridional circulation.

\section{The characteristics of HD 54272 and HR 8799}

HD 54272 (BD+19 1620, V\,=\,8.80\,mag) was first classified as a member of the $\lambda$ Bootis group
by \citet{Pau01}. For this star, neither a Hipparcos parallax nor a radial velocity is available.
\citet{Pau02a} searched for $\delta$ Scuti type pulsations and found a null result with an upper limit
of 1.4\,mmag within a time series of 2.6 hours. It has to be emphasized that long term trends, such
as the here reported $\gamma$ Doradus pulsation, were not investigated. The only detailed follow-up analysis of the astrophysical parameters (Table \ref{stars_param}) for
HD 54272 were presented by \citet{Pau02b}. The mass, effective temperature and surface gravity are
typical for an early F-type MS star. From isochrone fitting, they deduce that it has already spent
83\% of its MS life-time.

In this work we use the refined Yerkes classification (often denoted as `MK system') scheme
introduced by \citet{Gra87}. It uses the notation `k', `h', and `m' for the classification of the Ca II K, hydrogen,
and metal lines according to standard stars. It allows for a more detailed stellar classification than the
classical Yerkes system.

The spectrum of HD 54272 was observed at the Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova-Asiago with the 182\,cm telescope
using the Boller \& Chivens spectrograph (600 lines mm$^{-1}$ grating) which gave a
nominal resolution of 2.0\,\AA\,pixel$^{-1}$ (dispersion of 85\,\AA\,mm$^{-1}$) and a spectral coverage of about 1200\AA.

In Fig. \ref{spec_hd54272} the observed spectrum is shown together with two standards (HD 23194 and HD 113139). The latter were
taken from \citet{Gra03} and have a resolution of 1.8\,\AA\,pixel$^{-1}$. Clearly, the high rotational velocity and the low
metallicity of HD 54272 is visible. It is classified as `kA5hF2mA5V $\lambda$ Boo'.

In order to check the astrophysical parameters of HD 54272 and to search for an IR
excess, we made use of the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting tool by \citet{Rob07}.
As input data we used the available $UBV$, 2MASS and WISE photometry. The effective temperature and
surface gravity are well reproduced with the best fitting model. Furthermore, no IR excess was detected up to
22.1\,$\mu$m.

We next investigated the metallicity of HD 54272 in more detail. For this,
a synthesized spectrum was computed using the program SPECTRUM\footnote{http://www.appstate.edu/$\sim$grayro/spectrum/spectrum.html}
\citep{Gra94} and modified versions of the ATLAS9 code taken from the Vienna New Model Grid of Stellar Atmospheres,
NEMO\footnote{http://www.univie.ac.at/nemo} \citep{Hei02}. We used a stellar atmosphere with the following parameters (Table \ref{stars_param}):
\Teff\,=\,7000\,K, \logg\,=\,3.8, and \vmic\,=\,2\,km\,s$^{-1}$. The synthetic spectrum was first folded with the instrumental
profile and then with different rotational profiles yielding a best fit for 250\,km\,s$^{-1}$ with an uncertainty of about 25\,km\,s$^{-1}$.
To test these parameters, a grid of atmospheres with effective temperatures and surface gravities around the input values were applied. The hydrogen
lines are best fitted with the original values with the constraint that they are not sensitive to \logg. To estimate the [M/H] value, we used
different models from +0 to $-$2\,dex. Figure \ref{synthetic} shows the result for [M/H]\,=\,$-$0.5 and $-$1.0\,dex, respectively.
The median of the difference between the observed and synthetic spectrum with [M/H]\,=\,$-$1.0\,dex is only 0.2\%. Therefore we
adopted this values for HD 54272. For the estimation of its error, we used models with $-$0.5 and $-$1.5\,dex and calculated, again, the
differences of the synthetic and observed spectra. We notice that the difference with the more abundant model is smaller than the one
with the more underabundant one. From this, we conclude that the metallicity range is between $-$0.8 and $-$1.1\,dex. Figure
\ref{synthetic_two} shows the effect of the underabundant model for a typical metallic-line region around 4600\AA.

We checked if the high rotational velocity is affecting the derived metallicity. Because no reliable stellar atmospheres
taking into account the rotation, are available, coplanar ones are used. Assuming that the line-of-sight is almost
equator-on, the models of \citet{Sle80} are used to find the \Teff\ and \logg\ values at the poles. From their Table 1, the model
for a spectral type of A5 and a ratio of the angular velocity to the critical angular velocity of 0.9 almost
perfectly fits the parameters of HD~54272. It implies \Teff\,=\,9130\,K and \logg\,=\,4.25 at the poles.
Again, we applied the above mentioned method to generate synthetic spectra using a different set of astrophysical
parameters each 15$\degr$ along the disk and assuming rigid body rotation. For the final spectrum, we integrated all individual spectra
over the stellar disk. Figure \ref{synthetic_two} shows the effect of the
rotation using stellar atmospheres with [M/H]\,=\,$-$1.0\,dex. Due to the high rotation velocity and the low abundance, the effect
is only small and still in the range of the derived uncertainty. This is line with the results of \citet{Tak08} investigated the effect of stellar rotation on the
elemental abundance for A-type stars. They found no trends
for \vsini\ values up to 250\,km\,s$^{-1}$ (see Fig. 10 therein). As a conclusion, we are confident that the derived metal-weakness
is indeed intrinsic and not due to the inadequate treatment of stellar rotation.

According to the formula that the rotation becomes imperceptible when
\ensuremath{{\upsilon}\sin i}\,$\leq$\,$D$\,=\,85\,\AA\,mm$^{-1}$,
we deduce a lower limit of 85\,km\,s$^{-1}$ for our spectrum. From our spectral synthesis, we derive a \ensuremath{{\upsilon}\sin i} of
about 250$\pm$25\,km\,s$^{-1}$. Using the mass and radius as listed in Table \ref{stars_param}, we calculate a
break-up velocity for HD~54272 of 313\,km\,s$^{-1}$. Adopting an equatorial line-of-sight, this implies that HD 54272
rotates at least with 80\% of its break-up velocity. Such a high velocity is exceptional not only for $\gamma$ Doradus pulsators
\citep{Bru08}, but also for MS stars close to the TAMS, in general \citep{Zor12}. The astrophysical characteristics of HD~54272 fit
within the $\lambda$ Bootis group. In addition, we investigated the \ensuremath{{\upsilon}\sin i} distribution of the $\lambda$ Bootis stars, taken from
\citet{Pau02a}, and apparent `normal' type stars. The latter are from the list of \citet{Roy07} which covers the corresponding spectral range,
excluding the late B-type stars and objects marked as `CB' (binaries) and `CP' (peculiar stars). The samples consist of 42 $\lambda$
Bootis and 953 `normal' stars, respectively. Figure \ref{vsini} shows the distributions of both groups. We performed a pair-sample t-test \citep{Ree87}
which results that both distributions are on a 0.05 level, identical. Therefore, \ensuremath{{\upsilon}\sin i} seems not to be an intrinsically `critical'
astrophysical parameter for the formation and stability of the $\lambda$ Bootis phenomenon. {\bf However, the fast rotation of HD 54272 is not the common
characteristics for $\lambda$ Bootis stars (Fig. \ref{vsini}). But there is at least one similar member, HD~193256 (HIP~100286), with a \ensuremath{{\upsilon}\sin i} of
about 250\,km\,s$^{-1}$. It is also close to the TAMS but hotter (7700\,K).}

HR 8799 (HD 218396, V\,=\,5.95\,mag) is an exceptional, close-by (about 40\,pc), star classified as
`kA5hF0mA5V $\lambda$ Boo' by \citet{Gra99}.
They derived the astrophysical parameters as listed in Table \ref{stars_param}. The typical $\lambda$ Bootis type
abundance pattern was later confirmed by \citet{Sad06}. The membership of this star to the Columba
Association which has an age of about 30\,Myr is still a matter of debate \citep{Zuc11}. Moreover, \citet{Bai12}
summarizes the age determinations for this star (see Table 1 therein) which range from 30\,Myr to 1.6\,Gyr. The latter
has been deduced from an asteroseismic study by \citet{Moy10a}. We adopted the most probable one, $<$\,100\,Myr, as
argued and analysed by \citet{Bai12}.
HR 8799 is hosting at least four planets and a massive dusty debris disk \citep{Esp13}.
The $\gamma$ Doradus type pulsation of HR 8799 was studied by \citet{Zer99}. They found four
significant frequencies (1.9791, 1.7268, 1.6498, and 0.2479\,d$^{-1}$) with corresponding amplitudes in Johnson $V$
between 15.98 and 5.66\,mmag. \citet{Moy10b} concluded from a detailed asteroseismic
study that HR 8799 is intrinsically metal-weak which is in contrary to the common accepted theory that the
$\lambda$ Bootis phenomenon is restricted to the photosphere alone. However, one has to keep in mind that there
are at least two important free parameters (the inclination angle and the correct mode identification) which are vital
for the asteroseismic analysis. Such an intrinsic metal-weakness, compared to the Sun, is still in the range which is found
in the solar neighborhood \citep{Luc05}. If we accept this fact then also a non-solar isochrone has to be used to derive
the age of HR 8799. For a given temperature and luminosity, a lower metal isochrone would result in an older age.
For the listed metallicity, it would naturally explain the often quoted discrepancy between the age of the Columba
Association (30\,Myr) and some other determinations indicating an older age (100\,Myr). Furthermore, we have to ask
(i) if all `classical' $\lambda$ Bootis stars are intrinsic metal-weak or not, and (ii) if HR 8799 is a true member of the group.

\section{The pulsational behavior of HD 54272}

We analysed the photometric data from WASP \citep[][]{pollaco2006} and
the All Sky Automated Survey \citep[ASAS\footnote{http://www.astrouw.edu.pl/asas/}, e.g. ][]{pojmanski1997,pojmanski2001} surveys.
The WASP data, with the time base of 1566~d,
are strongly affected by instrumental artifacts. Therefore, a Fourier model with six harmonics was fitted to the data
and measurements deviating more than 2$\sigma$ were removed. This procedure was applied three times. For the ASAS data (time base of 2545~d), no such
procedure was necessary, but the best quality data with flag `A' and `B' were used and few outliers were removed manually.
Since ASAS gives information about the brightness in five different apertures, a weighted mean value was used.
A frequency analysis was performed
using \textsc{Period04} \citep{lenz2004} software,
which was also used for the determination of the uncertainties via Monte Carlo simulations.

ASAS data showed only five peaks: $f_{1}$, $f_{2}$, $f_{3}$ and two peaks with no clear interpretation. The latter are probably
due to the intrinsic characteristics of the data set and the accuracy of the individual measurements. In the WASP data, six significant
peaks were identified (see Table \ref{frek}). To estimate the reliability of these frequencies, the data were prewhitened with their various
combinations. Frequencies, which were left out, were always detected again. In addition, we performed the complete time series analysis for
two sub data sets. The overall data set is divided by the time of observations to HJD 2450000+ [5137:5186] and [5500:5624], respectively.
This procedure should avoid the influence of seasonal effects on the Fourier analysis and the detection of possible spurious frequencies.
Within the errors, all frequencies listed in Table \ref{frek} were found in both data sets.

From Fig. \ref{fourier} it is apparent that frequency spectra are strongly affected by daily aliases, which can be expected
when analysing data from single-side observations. This makes the frequency identification somewhat ambiguous and
also $f_{i}\pm1$~d$^{-1}$ should be considered as possible frequencies. Without any additional observations peaks can be hardly
interpreted and it is only possible to guess potential scenarios. Nevertheless, peaks with the highest amplitudes correspond
to the same frequencies in ASAS and WASP data. Therefore peaks that were identified (Table \ref{frek}) should be of higher reliability than their 1-day aliases.

Considering the frequencies in Table \ref{frek}, some interesting features appear. The peaks $f_{2}$, $f_{4}$ and $f_{5}$ are
almost equally spaced with $f_{m}\approx 0.12647$~d$^{-1}$ (calculated as average of spacings between frequencies) with
respect to $f_{1}$: $f_{4}-f_{1}=0.12655 \approx f_{m}$, $f_{1}-f_{2}=0.12613\approx f_{m}$ and $f_{1}-f_{5}=0.25290 \approx 2f_{m}$.
Since the spectral window of the data set (Fig. \ref{fourier} detail in top panel) do not show any suspicious peak
near 0.1265~d$^{-1}$, we consider this spacing as intrinsic to the pulsation of the star.

This symmetrical pattern is similar to those of modulated RR~Lyrae stars \citep{benko2011}, where the side-peaks are products
of amplitude and/or phase modulation of the basic pulsation frequency with modulation period corresponding to the spacing between
these peaks (in our case, $1/f_{m}=7.91$~d). Such an interpretation of the frequency spectra, probably led to the misclassification of HD 54272
as a modulated RR Lyrae type star with a pulsation period of 0.7789192~d \citep[$1/f_{2}$
in our identification, ][]{szczygiel2007}. As Fig. \ref{phase} shows, the mean amplitude of light changes is only about 0.06~mag,
which is too small for RR~Lyraes \citep{Smi03}. However, omitting small amplitude and two other frequencies, which were found,
the light curve shape could easily be interpreted as a modulated RR~Lyrae star \citep{Ska13}.

We investigated if the found frequencies could be caused by rotation.
From the observational point of view, such rotational induced variability was never found for members of the
$\lambda$ Bootis group before \citep{Pau02a}. In general, as further ingredients, a local stellar magnetic field
which produces spots on the surface (as well as elemental overabundaces) and slow rotation in order to guarantee
stability are needed \citep{Mes05}. This so-called
Oblique Rotator model \citep{Sti50}, explains the variations as a geometrical effect as the star rotates,
using a simple dipolar geometry. Because HD~54272 is a very fast rotator and magnetic fields were never detected for
$\lambda$ Bootis stars \citep{Boh90} it is very unlikely that the Oblique Rotator model could be applied. Based on
the projected rotational velocity, radius (Table \ref{stars_param}), and $i$\,=\,0$\degr$ as well as the formula by \citet{Pre71},
we derive a rotational period of 0.45\,d for HD~54272. Larger values of the inclination would result in even shorter periods.
The fastest rotating objects with periods close to 0.5\,d are
very hot and high mass He-strong stars \citep{Mik10}. The $f_{i}+1$~d$^{-1}$ aliases of the first five frequencies match the
expected rotational period. Also the regular spacing between frequencies could possibly be the consequence of rotation. However,
if we assume that the variability is due to rotation then we need a new model to explain this phenomenon because the Oblique
Rotator is, with our current knowledge, not applicable for HD~54272. Recently, \citet{Bal11a} investigated the light
curves of several thousands of A-type stars observed by the Kepler space mission. He found that almost 10\% of A-type stars exhibit variations
resembling those usually attributed to starspots in cool stars, including a few exhibiting travelling waves usually interpreted as
differentially rotating starspots. Most of these variations can also not be explained by the above mentioned Oblique Rotator model.
So, if we interpret the found variability of HD 54272 due to rotation, it would be the first $\lambda$ Bootis star with starspots
on its surface which would be a challenging example for models.

Explanation of peaks corresponding to $f_{4}=2f_{1}-f_{2}$ and $f_{5}=2f_{2}-f_{1}$ as coupling
terms, which are often reported in $\gamma$ Doradus stars \citep{Bal11b} and which implies nonlinearity in
the oscillation \citep[similar behavior was reported in HR 8799, ][]{Zer99}, fails, because $2f_{1}$ and $2f_{2}$
are not present in frequency spectra and none of daily aliases match the values needed for such consideration.

Furthermore, we checked the location of our target within the $(b-y)$ versus $c_{1}$ diagram which is sensitive
to surface gravity \citep{Cra79}. For this purpose, we used data for `normal' \citep{Gra87,Gra89a,Gra89b,Gar94},
$\lambda$ Bootis \citep{Pau02b}, and RR Lyrae stars \citep{Fer98} together with the standard relation from \citet{Phi80}.
The photometric indices were either taken from the listed references or from the catalogue by \citet{Hau98}. The
result is shown in Fig. \ref{byc1}. HD 54272 and HR 8799 are located where the other $\lambda$ Bootis stars
are situated. HR 8799 lies a little bit below the standard line which could be
due to its young age and the surrounding dense circumstellar material. The $\lambda$ Bootis stars are clearly separated from the RR Lyrae stars with two
exceptions: HD 148638 and HD 193281. Both stars are rather close visual binary systems with almost equally
bright companions. Therefore, the available photometry could be influenced by the binarity.

As a conclusion, the presented analysis clearly shows that HD 54272 is not a RR Lyrae but a $\gamma$ Doradus pulsator
without a hint of $\delta$ Scuti variability \citep{Pau02a}.

\section{Conclusions}

We analysed the time series of the WASP and ASAS projects in order to shed
more light on the pulsational behaviour of HD 54272. This object was classified
as $\lambda$ Bootis star and RR Lyrae variable. A combination which, a-priori,
exclude each other. Our detailed analysis established this object as a $\gamma$
Doradus pulsator with six detected frequencies, which could be possibly biased by one day aliases.
The amplitudes of detected peaks are between 5 and 21\,mmag. The three frequencies with the
highest amplitudes were detected in both data sets, independently. This example is
also important for other $\gamma$ Doradus stars which might be misidentified as RR Lyrae variables.

From spectroscopic data, we deduce a classification of `kA5hF2mA5V $\lambda$ Boo' for HD 54272.
A comparison with synthetic spectra yields a high rotational velocity (250$\pm$25\,km\,s$^{-1}$)
and a metal deficiency of $[$M/H$]$ of about $-$0.8 to $-$1.1\,dex compared to the Sun.
It is located very close to the TAMS.
These facts make HD 54272 an important test case for several different models including
pulsation, rotation, diffusion, and selective accretion.

Our results are compared with those from the first detected star which shows $\lambda$ Bootis
and $\gamma$ Doradus characteristics: HR 8799. Although the pulsational behaviours are very similar,
the evolutionary statuses are quite different. HR 8799 is a very young object hosting at least four
planets and a massive dusty debris disk. If we accept that selective accretion plays a key role
for the $\lambda$ Bootis phenomenon, it seems to have a significant effect on $\gamma$ Doradus
type pulsation. This could be concluded from the fact that these two stars have widely different
evolutionary statuses and astrophysical parameters, but a strikingly similar pulsational characteristics.

The detection of further members of the $\lambda$ Bootis group showing $\gamma$ Doradus type pulsation
would put further constraints on models explaining and describing these phenomena.

But McClellan walked the lead-off man in the top of the fourth and it all unraveled from there. When the smoke cleared five runs had dented the plate and St. Louis was down 7-2.
The Cardinals wouldn't score again until Pujols hit a solo homer to centerfield in the bottom of the eighth. But that was all they could muster and the Redbirds will have to take the next two games if they want to keep their series winning streak alive.
Cardinals Star of the Game: Pujols. How bad has his season-long slump been. Last year he was the star in about half of the Cardinals' games. A third of the way through the season in 2011, I believe this is his second time.
Cardinals Play of the Game: Craig's RBI double.
Lowlight: McClellan was due to have a clunker. The Cardinals came into the Monday game having won eight of the nine times the converted reliever started. But you have to hate to see a pitcher whose team just rallied to tie the game walk the lead-off man. McClellan had poor control during his entire appearance and I am a little bit worried that he's starting to show some stress cracks. He has already pitched as many innings this season as he would in an entire year as a bullpenner.
