NEW YEAR… I know it's nice to celebrate and party in the middle of the darkest time of year. But it's a Northern European kind of start to things. Most traditional cultures kick off things in the spring, when life is beginning anew. They face East to the beginning of the day's sun … But we begin our calendar count just past the darkest day of the pagan year. In a way we face North in the icy cold to where light is a promise or a dream … As that wonderful Bay Area used car salesman used to say after a spot of TV car pimping in my California youth, "Out of the mud grows the lotus."
GOING TO POT … Couple of rad Facebook posts went viral after Jan. 1 when Colorado began allowing legal cannabis sales for adult use, regardless of medical status … One was a funny tongue-in-cheek headline from the Daily Current (a kind of on-line Onion): "Marijuana Overdoses Kill 37 in Colorado On First Day of Legalization". Supposedly the accompanying story was from the Rocky Mountain News (which went out of business in 2009). While most of us laughed at the spoof, a few were angry and worried that some people would actually believe it … And the other was a pix of a resin-dripping bud with a text noting that this winter there were 15 injuries and one death on Black Friday among American shopaholics, but exactly 0 injuries or deaths from the first ever legal cannabis sales … By the way, publisher Ron Bain (Western Slope Watchdog) has started a new hardcopy magazine, Western Slope 420. Watch for it on newsstands. Arcturus Goodtimes has a new column in it – "Loafing in the Grass"
SAGE GROUSE … Been a lot of furious activity over the holidays trying to craft a letter to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service from our Western Slope 11-County Coalition, which Gunnison County commissioners have spearheaded – trying to let the Feds know that they need to work with local and state governments on a Rangeland Management Plan and not merely invoke federal pre-emption with an ESA listing, if they truly care about saving the bird ... Not that the Feds should walk away. The Gunnison Sage Grouse is going to need significant help to survive -- given all the encroachments on its habitat by humans, crows, coyotes, eagles, oil&gas drilling and real estate subdivisions. It's just that working collaboratively with local communities makes far more sense than using a listing club to swat down all the local protection efforts underway … Yes the bird is endangered. But it's also a Yes that local communities and both states are well aware of the peril, have been working for years to turn that status around, and have had some success.
ELAINE FISCHER … It's great to see our former mayor and current commissioner from the Town of Telluride girding for battle with chemo and its many side-effects, as she begins to move into healing mode. It's a big change to go from healthy and active to challenged. But it's not like there are a lot of choices … Still, as she told me the other day, she's blessed to live in such a great community. One so ready to give back for all she's given to us in a lifetime of public service (and fine art!) … Hopefully we'll hear Elaine joining in by telephone on important issues at commissioner meetings, as she adjusts to her new now.
VANISHING HYPHEN … The Anglo-Saxon roots of English featured many kennings – the combination of two words to mean something else, like "ship-path" for "ocean" or "battle-sweat" for blood. It became the accepted usage to signify neologisms combining two old words to form one new word by inserting a hyphen between the two words. It often was a clue that the two words joined together could be used adjectivally, and were not meant to be read as stand-alone nouns … It used to be that "e-mail" had a hyphen in the "early days". But written words that get used repeatedly in a combined form often lose their hyphen and are accepted whole into the language. Actually, verbal language is quite fluid and dynamic. New words and usages are constantly being re-invented. It's the written language that's slow to change … But the 21st Century's hyphen boat is gathering speed as it abandons port. It came home to me recently in reading an issue of the popular Science News that I subscribe to. In one of their lead stories "co-leader" was written "coleader", which on first glance I confused with "colander", until I examined the word closely … Guess hyphens are on the out, and fused word neologisms on the in.
PET PEEVE … Speaking of hyphens -- a grammatical mark that I use a lot -- I hate it when people confuse a "dash" with a "hyphen". I realize it's easy to do on a keyboard, typewriter or computer. A dash is not always supplied, and one often has to make do with two hyphens (which, with some software, fuse into a dash) – for, you see, the dash is longer than the hyphen; and a dash is usually bracketed by a space on either side of it, while the hyphen joins two things closely without any spaces … Glad I'm not editing for a living these days. I'm definitely turning into a curmudgeon on nitpicky, point-of-a-needle grammatical issues. Especially when using formal English, which my jobs force me to do, sometimes.
the way
the way little brown birds
flock to the newly stocked
the way the frozen air drifts
through the lowest ebb of
last year's sun
the way the christmas tree
draws up water through its arteries
so the toddler can push
ornaments onto its fingers
the way
pope francis makes
in clunky shoes

The Spa at The Breakers: A Destination for Tropical Pampering and Renewal
The Spa at The Breakers:
A Destination for Tropical Pampering and Renewal
PALM BEACH, FL – Many discerning guests who travel to The Breakers Palm Beach crave the chance to disconnect from the demands of a stressful routine, and they count on The Spa at The Breakers as a destination for rejuvenation. The theme, 'revitalization as necessity', is not only a pursuit of the resort's leisure travelers, who range from couples, friends and multigenerational families; but a goal of colleagues who escape from their offices to convene for organizational renewal.
The Spa at The Breakers offers a haven for pampering and renewal that is complemented by its prized-oceanfront location. It is the proud recipient of the 2012 Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Award and recognized as one of America's Best Hotel and Resort Spas, reflecting the resort's commitment to deliver the best spa experience to its customers with services of the highest quality.
Situated adjacent to the resort's Mediterranean-style Beach Club, the 20,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor spa exudes a relaxed feel of residential elegance that was recently enhanced with a complete refurbishment. There are 17 treatment rooms, including several Spa Suites that accommodate a series of services in one indulgent experience. Massages can also be enjoyed in outdoor settings such as the Oceanfront Sanctuary or private, day-use bungalows, both with direct views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Many treatments incorporate sea and citrus ingredients indigenous to Florida, with the benefits of their purifying properties. Through its partnership with renowned aesthetician Tammy Fender, a pioneer in pure, organic, custom-blended skincare, The Spa at The Breakers offers its guests an all-natural skincare option with the Tammy Fender Holistic Facial. The Spa is the first full service resort in the world to offer this rejuvenating treatment, which incorporates the unique powers of holistic healing and 100 percent organic, custom-blended products developed by Tammy. The Breakers also continues a successful partnership with Guerlain; The Spa at The Breakers was the first free-standing spa outside of Paris to offer the exclusive Guerlain facial and the Orchidée Impériale facial, utilizing Guerlain's highly effective skincare products and facial techniques.
The Breakers menu of services is regularly updated with new and interesting signature treatments that focus on personalization. According to spa expert Mark Mantegna, The Breakers' director of quality & service, "Each is a masterful interpretation of the spa 'classics' – whether massage, facial or one-on-one fitness – that pampers and revitalizes with an extraordinary sense of caring, while tailored to each guest's particular needs and preferences."
Signature treatments include:
One of the biggest distinctions of The Breakers' Spa experience however, is the warmth of its environment, propelled by the inviting manner of its well-trained, highly skilled staff. It is the quintessential, therapist-driven spa. Consistent with the standards of this legendary Five Diamond resort, spa employees are assessed for their dedication and passion for guest comfort, to create an ambiance that is welcoming and calming, as much as they are evaluated for their technical expertise and skill in providing spa services. The Spa's team members are passionate about their profession and bring to each service an extraordinary amount of experience and sense of caring. "We know that our associates directly fuel guest satisfaction, and in turn, that is what makes our Spa the successful operation that it is," continued Mantegna.
At check-in, guests are escorted to a locker area with steam and sauna (separate facilities for men and women) and receive a robe and slippers. Guests customize their treatments by selecting a male or female therapist as well as their preference for lighting and conversation levels. One can relax in between treatments in a comfortably appointed lounge or a tropically-landscaped outdoor courtyard with views of the Atlantic Ocean.
A comprehensive menu of spa services features:
- Three (3) body scrubs include Sea Salt, Coconut Smoothing Sugar Scrub and Men's Revitalizing Coffee Scrub.
- Two (2) body wraps to eliminate toxins and nourish the skin include Marine Algae and Detoxifying Mud.
Oceanview Fitness Center
A 1,400-square-foot oceanfront facility features 14-foot high windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, cardiovascular equipment, with personal televisions and iPod docking stations, free weights and strength equipment. Personalized fitness services including the signature Fitness Assessment, Personal Training, Training For Two and Body Composition Analysis. Fitness classes include yoga, Pilates, water conditioning, which is conducted in the adjacent 25-meter three-lane lap pool, and more.
Mediterranean-style Beach Club
The indoor/outdoor Spa at The Breakers is situated adjacent to a Mediterranean-style Beach Club that boasts magnificent vistas of the ocean and a half-mile stretch of private beach. Reminiscent of a panoramic island escape, The Beach Club features five oceanfront pools, four whirlpool spas, expansive pool decks, lush tropical landscaping and lawn space, luxury Beach Bungalows with a dedicated staff of concierges, and a 6,000-square-foot rooftop terrace. The Breakers Beach Club is also headquarters for watersports, featuring Scuba, snorkeling, coral reef tours, deep sea fishing, private charters, kayak excursions, boogie board rentals and swimming lessons. Two casual beachside restaurants, The Ocean Grill and The Beach Club Restaurant, are open for lunch daily.
About The Breakers Palm Beach
One of America's legendary resort destinations, this 540-room, Italian Renaissance-style hotel resides on 140 acres of oceanfront property in the heart of Palm Beach. The Breakers was founded in 1896 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to thrive independent of chain affiliation. Renowned for its gracious service, the modern classic resort indulges its clientele, whether couples on a romantic getaway, multi-generational travelers on a family vacation or large gatherings in celebration. Its timeless atmosphere -- from its magnificent interiors to its artfully designed landscape -- has been renewed in a style of relaxed elegance.
A multi-faceted destination, The Breakers features 36 holes of championship golf, including the Ocean Course and The Breakers Rees Jones® Course; 10 Har-Tru tennis courts; luxury spa; a breathtaking oceanfront with a half-mile of private beach, Mediterranean-style beach club, as well as luxury beach bungalows for daytime-rental, four oceanfront pools, five whirlpool spas and a variety of water sports; a Family Entertainment Center and an extensive program of family and children's activities. Eight distinctive restaurants and eight bars, with settings ranging from casual beachfront to stylishly sophisticated, including HMF, the resort's destination for social drinking and eating and the newly transformed Flagler Steakhouse; as well as an array of on-site boutiques, are all owned and managed by the resort. The Breakers is recognized as a AAA Five Diamond property and has earned numerous accolades for its commitment to the environment, community service and the quality of life it provides to its employees.

This component mainly serves as a path way for the current that flows from the battery into the plugs, making it a very important element of your Chevrolet Nova's engine ignition system. It's highly possible for your car engine to actually stall or to emit black exhaust gas once the Chevrolet Nova ignition coil starts to malfunction.
This component is manufactured to endure lots of exposure to electric current. Through time however, it'll fail and your auto will actually start to exhibit symptoms; sputtering engine, a backfiring exhaust, engine start up problems, poor fuel economy, and misfiring especially when you're going fast are quite common when the coil starts to break down. To figure out if the ignition coil is in urgent need of a replacement, test it with a multimeter to determine if the proper amount of current goes through this component. Built to measure the amount of voltage, current, and resistance, a multitester is a device you need when dealing with electrical issues with your vehicle. Take a look at the results; if the results is beyond the regular range as indicated on the multitester's scale, then you'll have to replace your car's ignition wires.
If you're on the hunt for a replacement part that'll fit your vehicle perfectly, our site is here to help you. By offering items from some of the most dependable brands in the industry including Bosch, Beck Arnley, and Prestolite, you're 100% assured that you'll make the most of your budget's worth when you buy from our website.

Neighborhoods: Central, Greater Heights
You haven't had quiche until you've tasted the "better than your momma can make" quiche at Shade made with bacon, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and cheddar cheese. You can order it at lunch and during their weekend brunch.
For the ladies who lunch, this is a perfect place to visit! Ok, even for those who aren't lunching ladies. I enjoyed a lovely Sauvignon blanc with one of their surprisingly reasonably priced salads. If its a nice day, request their hidden patio!
Refuel while shopping at this casual, yet elegant restaurant.
Golden-Fried Perfection. That is how I can best describe the Shrimp & Grits at Shade. Other stand-outs are Cucumber-Crusted Snapper and their Coconut Tart!
Alway's a Favorite! – This place has always been our close to home favorite! The staff is incredibly great and kind. For lunch my favorite is the pork chop topped with a delicious peppered jelly! The dinner options are always great!
The atmosphere is almost perfect, not too quiet and not too loud. It's also not too fancy and not too casual.
P.S. Make sure to let them know it's your birthday and have a delicious dessert on the house!
Definitely a moderately priced favorite in the Heights!
Blah Blah Blah – This used to be one of my favorite Heights restaurants. Last night's dining experience changed that. I took my boyfriend there last night for a nice meal out since we had spent the holidays apart. While the food was good we had the worst service experience ever.
After we were seated, one waiter brought us water another some bread and another menus. We finally asked one of the waiters if he was our waiter and he replied, "one of them." What exactly does that mean? There were two big tops, us and two other small tables. I also had to ask for a black napkin because apparently the black dress I had on was not a big enough hint.
Our "one of them" waiters was in fact our waiter. He was however completely focused on his big top as I am sure he knew a much larger tip would be coming from a table of 14 than just us two.
Service was non-existent....and the manger even brought over our first round of drinks from the bar since the waiter apparently forgot about them. We had to ask for a waiter to take our order as nobody even bothered to try to take it. We ordered a second round of drinks when our entrees arrived and our drinks did not show up to the table until after we were done with our meal. Apparently, they don't serve dessert or coffee here either as we were not offered any.
We asked to speak with the manager who stopped by and admitted that she witnessed the poor service the entire night we received. Strangely she did nothing about it. She even had the gall to admit she thought about transferring the table to another! Obviously she didn't. (BTW there were several other servers just standing around the entire time.) She apologized for his poor service but made excuses for him since he had a big top and was "one of her best waiters". I sure would hate meet the "worst" waiter, would he stab you in the eye with a fork?
Since we had received a $25 gift card from Restaurants com there was an automatic 18% gratuity added which we wouldn't mind paying 20% for good service. We asked her to change the amount of tip since we did not feel he deserved an 18% tip. She refused to change the amount of the tip. We therefore asked for the tip to be given to another waiter who stopped by at the end of our meal and asked if there was anything else we needed. Hopefully he got it.
In summary, if you see a big top…Run!!!!
Save a Lamb and Don't Order the Chops – We ordered take out. If I had been dining in, I would have sent it back. I still ate everything.
My sister's mashed potatoes were instant, and I had the fattiest lamb chop that was nothing but bone. My pasta was delicious and the bread was average.
The patrons are always nicely dressed, and I heard the owner is nice.
Unhappy Valentine's – All dressed up and no place to go! Saturday, the day before Valentine's Day. I and 5 other friends had a nice dinner planned at Shade. Reservations were made well in advance. As the first two, of the 6 in our party arrived, one of them ordered an appetizer. Let me tell you, this person who ordered the appetizer, also happened to be an employee at Shade, but this was his night off. Neither I, nor a few others in our group had been, and he was eager to show off the place that he works at, always speaking highly of their food. As we were nearing our arrival, we get a call from this employee (my close friend), and informed that he was reprimanded by the manager on duty. The manager informed him that, being an employee, he should not have visited the establishment during a night like Valentine's (Eve, in this case). Now, here it is 6 p.m., Saturday evening, we are no longer allowed to enjoy a dinner at Shade because the manager felt it was inappropriate? What exactly was inappropriate? Was it the fact that an employee actually wanted to show off the place that he worked? Was it inappropriate that we were all going to pay FULL PRICE for our meals. We weren't asking for special treatment, we just wanted to have a nice dinner with friends. The decision of that manager not only affected that one employee, but also affected the 5 other people who were going to be joining him. Thanks to that inconsiderate manager, we were forced to find another restaurant on Valentine's Eve. Thanks to that inconsiderate manager, we were forced to wait in excess of an hour and a half to have dinner at another locaton. Thanks, once more, to the manager for having some of us miss our plans. Is this common practice? Do you let the employees know in advance they can't visit the place they work on special occassions? Thanks for a WONDERFUL Valentine's. Thanks to the 1.5 plus hour wait in the cold (because the inside of the place we ended up at was so crowded.
Fade in the Shade – We came here because my daughter wants to take us to restaurants in the 'hood. (Trendy neighborhoods) Those bohemian lifestyle eateries as it were. We came on Saturday around 11 AM. The wife & daughter had eggs benedict, granddaughter the waffle. I opted for the eggs over medium, toast & something called "crispy potatoes". I will only detail my experience as my family members found the fare adequate. The eggs were quite small, almost if they were chickens crossed with quall. Remember?, eggs over medium. Sorry, the edges were crispy on the edges (burnt) and the yolks and much of the white was runny. A single small piece of cold, dry toast (2 ½ x 2 ½) decorated the plate along with the "crispy potatoes." The potatoes were more like little hockey pucks, dry, shriveled and tasteless. I almost forgot, behold the obligatory fresh fruit. Two grapes, a chuck of pineapple, ½ strawberry and three blueberries all placed in what I call a nice little cat food bowl.
Needless, I told my server this was unacceptable. They were nice about it, but "you know the look." I asked to replace the egg thing with the house hamburger. Better, but not much. I was told that the meat would be cooked medium as if by looking at me (and the egg thing) that I would need it cooked to death. That is probably just what the guy in the kitchen was thinking, because over cooked was the way it came. Dry and tasteless again. It is served with a homemade bun. Homemade by Bimbo Bakeries Co. The bun was completely unremarkable, as in it tasted like newspaper. One piece of limp nasty iceberg lettuce garnished the bun along with, red onion, tomato slice and a couple of pickle segments. Condiments, again in even smaller cat foot dishes included a pale green item a red (spicy ketchup) and yellow (mustard). The green I found out later was Arugula mayonnaise. Unfortunately I had no tableware to avail myself of these little lovelies. The fries were reasonably fresh, unlike the potato pucks. All for around $11 bucks. Tasteless is the optimum word here, for all that it encompasses.
I was not charged for the eggs and to my surprise the hamburger was gratis as well. But, to the hostesses' credit, she had to display her total grasp of the obvious and announce to one and all that the hamburger was no charge. How magnanimous of her. (As if I were oblivious or should have fawned over the offering. I would say, they know the value of the product.)
I believe that if a dim lit restaurant uses a plethora of little dishes to serve side items, they get to call themselves "Hip" "minimalist" Eclectic-New American, "destination" ---- OMG - Blah, Blah, Blah. This place is sterile, insipid, uncomfortable and pretentious. Yes, pretentious, as in the wine list is their big "claim to fame." If eggs and burgers are this difficult to produce, I will not be "shading the threshold" of this establishment again.
Incredible Place For Birthday – Called Will, the pastry chef to ask if they had any cake for our daughter's birthday. Will said his carrot cake is one of his signature desserts and he would make it with organic carrots. WOW! It was fantastic. AND they packed up the rest of the cake to take home.
Special not so special – I was there Sunday before noon and ordered the "special cajun shrimp sandwich" with special Shade potato chips. The chips were a bit stale and the shrimp were tasteless. I was afraid there were going to be too spicy. I should wish.
Shady to say the least... – Are you flipping serious cultivating a $27 tip for a $23 meal on my debit card? Never in my life have I had such overwhelmingly, great food and service that I've felt compelled to even dream of offering a tip in excess of 100%. Rest assured it wouldn't have come even remotely close at this establishment.
The water exhibited signs of foreign, white, filmy matter floating in it. I didn't ask, nor did I want to know what it was. It shouldn't be there regardless.
Soup & sandwich, not a foreign concept. But chili as a soup staple on the menu in the hot, humid summer heat of Houston? Chili was overly salty, in my limited opinion designed from a package. Curried tuna salad was interesting. Not exactly a great pairing with chili. Dining companion complains that hamburger not the best and fries just "okay.
Overall ambiance was nice, and quaint. Would have been nice to have some sort of "shade" for the large window panes emitting direct light into the establishment. Annoying flies beating themselves up against the panes only distracted and did not aide in dining experience...
Terrible Food – Went here based on a friend's recommendation and I don't know what he was thinking. The appertizers were alright and our entrees, none of them were good. My porkchop was salty and the veges that came with it was overcooked. The angel hair pasta with scallops was sloppy. The red snapper was ordinary . The size of the chicken breat was a joke and the mac and cheese that came with the chicken was SO salty. The dessert was the only thing they have going for them but that could very well be because everything before that had been terrible. I would not go here again even if it was free.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Wanskuck Mills
The Wanskuck Mills Power Plant building consists of a power mill for the former Wanskuck Mills complex located in a mixed residential, commercial and industrial area of Providence, RI. It no longer operates and is in disrepair. At the request of the Providence Fire Department in June 2007, EPA inspected the site with RI Department of Environmental Management representatives. Numerous 55- and 30-gallon drums and 5-gallon pails had labels indicating hazardous contents. Such hazards included xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl benzene and toluene. Samples from four 55-gallon drums indicated the presence of solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (7,110 ppm), ethylbenzene (10,610 ppm), xylene (65,090 ppm), and toluene (186,670 ppm or 18.6 percent). An analysis of a potential asbestos-containing material (ACM) indicated the presence of 25 percent amosite and 5 percent chrysotile asbestos.
On April 24, 2008, an EPA order went into effect, and the potentially responsible party hired a contractor to conduct the work. They also submitted a health and safety plan, a work plan and a community relations plan. By June, EPA approved these plans and requested that work on the site begin.
On October 21, 2008, Triumvirate Environmental removed the 5-gallon pails and all of the 55-gallon drums, except for 12 on the second floor. On October 30, 2008, Triumvirate returned to the site and removed all of the remaining 55-gallon drums. In June 2009, EPA formally closed out the site.
Location: 715R Branch Avenue, Providence, RI

Last year Seminole County sounded as if it were trying to head off an educational apocalypse.
"We need the additional funding to preserve the quality of Seminole County schools," Superintendent Walt Griffin said in October at a debate over a proposed property-tax increase for schools.
"There is a lot of excitement for expanding programs," said School Board member Tina Calderone. "But without the funding, we are going to have to just hop along."
"If the millage increase does not pass, Seminole schools will lose quality teachers and be forced to cut critical elective programs, sports and extracurricular activities. More maintenance on facilities, including air-conditioning systems and roofs, will be deferred," wrote former Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, who took on the tax increase as a personal crusade, in an op-ed piece for the Sentinel.
Voters took it to heart. In November they passed by a 12-point margin a tax that could bring in more than $25 million a year to the school district for four years.
Everybody breathed a sigh of relief.
Until last week, when everybody scratched their heads and let out a collective, "What?!"
A schools budget workshop last week made no mention of the new tax money.
It was as if a months-long campaign to rally voters to tax themselves hadn't happened.
No fretting about how teachers could lose their jobs. No talk about how programs were at risk. Just a straightforward accounting of how much the school district thinks it will get from Tallahassee based on proposed budgets in the House and Senate.
Why all the fuss only to have Griffin, when asked why the new tax wasn't discussed at the budget meeting last week, say, "We have to wait and see where the budget lands."
At the very least, if the district turns out not to need the money it will have seemed alarmist in hindsight. Not to mention it will have given tax opponents plenty of ammo to doom the chances of voters approving another tax increase anytime soon.
I asked Griffin what voters are supposed to think. How can the situation be so dire one minute and hardly worrisome the next? Did school officials cry wolf?
He says the state House and Senate budget proposals are so much more generous to schools this year that he isn't sure how much of the tax will be necessary.
"The budget, at first glance, looks better," he said. "It's too early to determine how much I will be asking the board for."
I'll be the first to applaud the district for not spending extra money just because it can. But the Legislature had started restoring education funding last spring. And as far back as September, Gov. Rick Scott said he at least wanted to hold education funding steady and an expected surplus could mean more money.
The fact that Tallahassee is throwing more money at schools this year is hardly a surprise.
"I don't want the public to think we're not appreciative," Griffin said. "We're just trying to be responsible."
He said he is now preparing a list of needs that will help the district decide if it has to levy all or part of the up to 1 mil voters approved.
Old, leaky roofs, failing air-conditioning systems, new computers and replacing an aging school bus fleet will likely be top priorities, he said.
The four-year tax could offer some relief on those big expenses.
But if it turns out the School Board doesn't impose any of the new tax voters approved, then it will be hard for the district ever to come to voters in times of desperation with a straight face again.

Season 5 Dev Blog #37
By admin @ April 3, 2012 at 7:18pm
Qapla', Warriors!
Great news from the House of Cryptic has arrived today. Starting this Thursday, April 5, Klingon warriors will have access to a new episode titled "Alpha." This KDF-only mission has been designed for level-34 Captains and takes place in Romulan space in the Orith system.
Located in the Hyralan Sector of the Psi Velorum Sector Block, the Orith system is dominated by Orith Prime, a large hydrogen-helium gas giant with significant amounts of chlorine and sulfur in its atmosphere. In close orbit with Orith Prime is Orith II, a small M-Class planet covered in jungles and thick vegetation. Empire scientists say that the atmosphere on Orith II is not hazardous, although they speculate that the influence of the gas giant has led to unusual aberrations in the planet's ecosystem.
Intelligence reports indicate that Nausicaan pirates have taken up residence in clusters of asteroids drawn into orbit by Orith Prime's massive gravity well. Captains in the region are advised to use caution when exploring the region.
"Alpha" contains brand-new environments where adventure, encounters and challenges will be found around every corner – there are hidden areas to discover on the map, so take your time to explore thoroughly while on Orith II's surface.
This new episode also features voiceover and new rewards. Players who complete "Alpha" will be able to choose one of the following rewards:
- Hirogen Tetryon Blast Rifle: A ground weapon with a fairly fast and strong bolt for its primary fire, but its secondary power is a small-radius explosion.
- Klingon Intelligence Stealth Utility Armor: A set of physical enhancement utility armor that provides a bonus to all stealth and perception powers. Equip it to enhance your personal cloak or Shroud or to increase your ability to see enemies using stealth technology.
Also, Alpha features variations on how the story unfolds, but there is no right or wrong answer – the choices you make during the episode will allow you to play your KDF character as a ruthless pragmatist or an honorable warrior.
Today is a good day to die, warriors! Glory to the Empire!
We'll see you in-game this Thursday for the release of "Alpha."

No one knows exactly where he came from—perhaps a sailor taking shore leave, or maybe a wayfarer exploring the colonies—but locals think they know what he's waiting for. In the 1720s, two travelers checked into The White Horse Tavern—still functioning today since 1673. One murdered the other, fleeing into the night, never to be heard from again. Ever since, visitors have seen the ghost of the slain traveler, saying that he appears to be waiting the day for his companion returns and he may take his revenge.
This is just one of the tales shared by the guides of Ghost Tours of Newport. Cloaked in flowing black dresses, billowy capes, and top hats, they lead each tour by lantern light through Newport's historic colonial district, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the United States with buildings dating back to the late 1600s. Leading guests down easily overlooked alleyways still defaced by H.P. Lovecraft's tagging phase, the guides arrive at haunted locations, such as a wrought-iron-gated colonial cemetery neighboring a church constructed in 1726. The stories behind some sightings and locations even intersect with historical figures, such as George Washington and Lizzy Borden. Guides encourage picture taking and receive submissions each week of possible spectral figures caught during a tour, which they post to Ghost Tours of Newport's Facebook albums. These images range from the impression of faces in windows to orbs, believed to represent a spirit with a fondness for bowling.
Save The Bay has held to its mission since its founding in 1970: to protect, restore, and improve the Narragansett Bay region and its coastal waters through environmental action and stewardship. Save The Bay also defends the right of the public to use the Bay, encouraging visitors to act as responsible stewards of the Bay's bounty for future generations.
Today, Save The Bay's staff and volunteers continue their work from their Bay Center that serves as the heart of operations. Its stormwater-management system contains a vegetated roof, a coastal-buffer zone, swales, and basins that can absorb and filter rainwater. Made from recycled steel and metal, the center's interior hosts an array of educational programs for adults and kids. Save The Bay also maintains an Exploration Center and Aquarium, camps, and marine-life tours aboard its 45-foot US Coast Guard–certified vessel Alletta Morris, the 27-foot vessel Swift, or the 46-foot Elizabeth Morris.
The Big Toast, a Great Gatsby-themed benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters of The Ocean State, blends the decadence of the roaring 20s with the philanthropic spirit of the modern age. Partygoers are invited to dress in flapper dresses and fedoras (or business casual). They can also sample their fill of fine wines, craft beers, and quality liquors, celebrating just like the Prohibition-Era speakeasy dwellers did.
The evening's entertainment takes place at the Linden Place Museum. Throughout its storied history, the well-maintained mansion has entertained four presidents, generations of socialites, and famous performers such as Ethel Barrymore Colt. Appropriately enough, it even served as a set for the 1974 film adaptation of the The Great Gatsby.
Every Friday, the Firehouse Theater hosts a merry evening of witty improvisational comedy, performed by Newport's The Bit Players. Watch the zany troupe as they drolly play off the suggestions of the audience and make off-the-cuff remarks in a series of short-form skits. Firehouse Theater is BYOB, so show-goers are obliged to bring beer, wine or a cask of aromatherapy bathtub gin. For teetotalers, free hot teas, cocoa, and cookies accompany every performance, helping audience members feel welcome, cozy, and primed for incessant giggling in the 49-seat theater.
A crew of professional mariners at Confident Captain/Ocean Pros prepares students to navigate the earth's bluest patches with instruction in all facets of boat operation and maintenance. A schedule of classes includes primarily Saturday and Sunday sessions, which take place 9 a.m.–3 p.m. at the Confident Captain Training Center. Soak up lessons in vessel safety through the At the Helm program. Novice sailors absorb the basics of seafaring equipment, security measures, and barracuda-hunting calls from the Brand New Boater course ($95), and the Competent Crew class teaches the essentials of gear stowing, knot tying, and line tossing ($150).
Intimate studio with sun-drenched windows, wood floors, exposed brick and lots of plants. We have the most expert teachers in Newport to guide you into inner bliss.

Information and Resources
Symptoms of Thrombocytopenia
Usually, thrombocytopenia causes no symptoms. Thrombocytopenia is most often detected incidentally on blood tests obtained routinely or for other reasons.
When thrombocytopenia causes symptoms, they can include:
- Bleeding, most often from the gums or nose. In women, menstrual bleeding may increase or occur more often between periods.
- Petechiae, which are red, flat spots on the skin, about the size of a pinhead. Petechiae are most prominent on the legs and feet, and may occur in clumps.
- Purpura, which are larger areas of bleeding under the skin that can appear as blotches that don't turn white when pressed upon.
- Ecchymoses, or areas of bleeding into the skin. Identical in appearance to bruises, ecchymoses are blue or purple, changing colors to yellow or green over time.
Severe thrombocytopenia can result in major bleeding after an injury, such as a car accident or a fall.
Thrombocytopenia does not generally cause excessive bleeding after injuries unless platelets fall below 50,000 per microliter. Spontaneous major bleeding does not occur until platelets fall very low -- less than 10,000 or 20,000 per microliter. Minor bleeding (as from the gums or nose) may occur at higher platelet counts.
Treatments for Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia by itself rarely requires treatment, because low platelets do not usually cause any problems. In general, treatment for thrombocytopenia is centered on treating the condition causing the low platelet count.
For example:
- Immune thrombocytopenia (such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) is often treated with corticosteroids, such as prednisone or other drugs.
- Surgical removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be recommended for severe immune thrombocytopenia. When the spleen is absent, it can't isolate large numbers of platelets from the bloodstream.
- When a medication side effect causes thrombocytopenia, stopping the drug generally returns platelet counts to normal.
- Vitamin B12 and folate are given to correct thrombocytopenia caused by deficiencies of these vitamins.
- For certain rare causes of thrombocytopenia, blood thinners such as warfarin may actually be needed to prevent blood clots.
When platelets drop to very low levels (less than 10,000 or 20,000 per microliter of blood), platelet transfusions can prevent bleeding. If thrombocytopenia is present with significant bleeding, platelet transfusion is often necessary to stop the bleeding.

Serves four.
Thought you couldn't get slow-cooked flavor from the grill? When barbecue-braising, your grill performs like an oven: You just put your pot on the grill, cover, and let the meat simmer. After braising, add the flavor-packed glaze. The result is delicious, saucy, fall-off-the-bone meat, perfect for summertime entertaining.
In a small bowl, combine the chile powder, five-spice powder, brown sugar, 2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper. Sprinkle generously all over the ribs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
Prepare a gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Grill the ribs until all sides are nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let cool briefly and then tie with a couple of loops of butcher's twine.
Prepare the grill for indirect grilling. Set an 8-quart heavy-duty pot over medium heat and when hot, add the oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 1 minute more. Pour in the chicken broth, 1/4 cup of the vinegar, 1 Tbs. of the brown sugar, the fish sauce, and the soy sauce. Add the star anise, bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat.
Put the ribs in the pot and set the pot on the grill over the cool zone. Cover the pot, close the grill lid, and cook for 30 minutes. Check the ribs and rearrange so they remain submerged in the simmering liquid. Check the ribs again after 30 minutes and move them around if necessary. After another 30 minutes, check the ribs for tenderness. They should be fork-tender but not falling apart. If they're not tender enough, continue to cook, checking every 15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the pot and set aside.
Pour the liquid into a heatproof vessel, such as a Pyrex measuring cup, and let sit until the fat rises to the top. Skim off and discard the fat. Taste the liquid; if it's too watery, return to the pot and boil over high heat until flavorful.
Prepare the grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Pour 1 cup of the braising liquid into a small saucepan and stir in the remaining 2 Tbs. brown sugar and 2 tsp. rice vinegar. Over medium-high heat, reduce the liquid until it becomes syrupy, about 12 minutes—you'll have about 1/3 cup.
Brush the glaze over one side of each short rib and grill glazed side down until the glaze begins to bubble and lightly darken, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush another surface with the glaze and turn the ribs. Continue to brush and glaze, turning frequently, until all sides are nicely glazed. Transfer the ribs to a warm platter, drizzle with the remaining braising liquid, and garnish with the scallions and cilantro.
You can make this dish through the braising step the day before serving. Just cool and wrap the meat and braising liquid separately. Refrigerate overnight and glaze the next day. To spread out the work even more, you can season the meat the day before you braise.
To use a charcoal grill: First build a medium-high fire for searing: Ignite about 5 quarts of charcoal (80 to 100 briquettes), using either a chimney starter or an electric starter. When the charcoal is burning well, spread it out over the surface of the charcoal grate and put the cooking grate in place. Let the charcoal burn down until it's coated with gray ash. To test the temperature, hold your hand about two inches above the cooking grate; when you can hold your hand there for 2 to 3 seconds (a medium-high fire), you're ready to sear the short ribs.
After searing, divide the coals evenly, banking them against two sides of the grill (use long-handled tongs to move the coals). Put the cooking grate in place; if your cooking grate has hinged sections, position them over the charcoal. Place an oven thermometer on the grate over the cooler area, close the lid, and let the coals burn until the thermometer reads about 350ºF. When ready, place the pot over the cool zone and braise as directed above. Check the thermometer every 20 minutes, replenishing the charcoal as necessary to keep the temperature between 325ºF and 375ºF. If the coals are still burning well, you can simply add a handful of unlit coals on top. Otherwise, you'll need to add lit coals.
To glaze the ribs, rebuild a medium-high fire as you did for the searing step, and cook as directed in the recipe.
Serve with rice noodles, steamed rice, or Spicy Slaw with Radiccio & Green Mango.

2/13/2011By far, the best short rib recipe yet. Made in the oven with a few modifications: Seared ribs on stovetop; bought braise to simmer after adding the ribs; braised at 300 for at least 2.5 hours, turning/checking every hour until done.
Didn't make the glaze -- didn't have enough liquid; next time I'll add some alum foil to better seal the pot -- but strained and defatted the liquid, added a bit of brown sugar, and reheated the ribs, in foil, with the liquid.
by pamelay2000,
10/21/2009Pretty tasty but I think too much work for something just pretty good. I didn't cook my pot on the grill and did it on the stovetop. Used mint instead of cilantro which was nice. Probably won't do it again but did enjoy the dinner.
by Renegde_in_me,
10/2/2009Turned out fantastic!
by Birmingham_MI_Cook,
7/15/2009I made these short ribs for a tasting for a "high end" party. They beat out my BBQ brisket and skewered tenderloin. They are excellent!
by Picco,
7/7/2009Absolutely fantastic. Very easy to make and can easily be made the day before.

Wiltshire families set for six more hours of TV viewing in Christmas week (From This Is Wiltshire)
Latest News RSS Feed
Wiltshire families set for six more hours of TV viewing in Christmas week
12:10am Wednesday 18th December 2013 in Latest News
Families across the south west will watch more than an additional six hours of their favourite television programmes over the Christmas week, according to new figures released by TV Licensing today.
With TV taking centre stage among the tinsel and turkey in homes across the UK, TV Licensing is reminding people of the importance of making sure they can legally watch their festive favourites.
In the festive holidays we squeeze in even more time doing what is arguably the nation's favourite pastime – watching TV.
Over Christmas 2012 South West residents of viewed, on average, 34 hours and 15 minutes of TV – more than six extra hours compared to the national figure of 28 hours for the rest of the year.
However, the figures also reveal some parts of the UK watch more tinsel-TV than others. In Wales the figure rises to 39 hours and 49 minutes of TV viewed over Christmas and residents of the North East are not far behind with 38 hours and 36 minutes.
Those people living in London watch the least, turning on to just under 31 hours over the festive week.
Christmas is traditionally the time of special edition episodes of our favourite shows and when soap and drama storylines reach their peak. EastEnders famously attracted 30.1m viewers for the 1986 Christmas Day episode, which featured the spectacular break-up of Angie and Den.
The 2001 Christmas Day edition of Only Fools and Horses was watched by an audience of 21.35m, making it the most viewed programme of the decade. In 2012 Eastenders again topped the ratings with 9.7m viewers tuning in on Christmas Day with a further 1.9m 'timeshifting' the episode to catch-up with the goings-on in Albert Square during the following week.
Richard Chapman, spokesman for TV Licensing in the South West, said: "Christmas is always a great time of year for TV fans with many of our favourite programmes making a festive appearance, not to mention the annual showing of some classic films.
"But whether you just tune in to see the Queen's Speech or spend the entire holiday channel surfing, it is important to be aware of the need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch or record programmes at the same time as they are shown on TV.
"We would always prefer people pay than risk a fine or prosecution and we certainly don't want people to be starting the New Year facing the prospect of court and a possible £1,000 fine."
More than 24,000 people bought or renewed their TV Licence over the Christmas Bank Holiday periodlast year. It's easy to buy a licence online, amend or check personal details at any time at www.tvlicensing.co.uk

One of the most basic building blocks of the web is the hyperlink (also known as a link). If you've ever used a website, you will have used a hyperlink at some stage; hyperlinks provide the connections between pages and documents on the web. Hyperlinks can be used to link to documents or pages within your own site, within the University's site, or on sites external to the University.
How to create a hyperlink
In the visual format toolbar, there are four icons for hyperlinking:
Bookmark (anchors)
Named anchors can be inserted using the 'Bookmark' button on the visual format toolbar. This function is typically used to eliminate scrolling up and down long pages of text and to help users skip to a certain section.
1. Choose the location for the named anchor within the your text
2. Select the Bookmark button
3. Type in the name for your bookmark in the name field and then click the Add button
4. Click the Close button. (You can test the anchor first by clicking 'Go to'.)
5. To create a link to the anchor, highlight the text or image that you want to link and click the Hyperlink button.
6. Select the name that you just created which should be in the Quick link list (along with any others that have been defined on this page).
7. Select the name in the 'Quick link' drop down list and then click the Close button.
New hyperlink
You can use this button to 'browse' for imported resources such as PDFs or word documents.
To create a new hyperlink to a resource, please highlight the appropriate text and 'browse' to the resource file. Select OK.
PLEASE NOTE: You should not use this function to browse for '.xml' files in the content, supplementary content or sites folders. If you wish to create a hyperlink to another web page, please use the 'Hyperlink' button.
You can use this button to create a hyperlink to another web page by typing in the full URL (or server relative URL) into the 'Link' field. To avoid error, you should copy and paste the full URL from the address bar of the desired page location.
Remove Link
If you wish to remove a hyperlink from a line of text, highlight the text and click the 'remove link' button.
What if I want to create a hyperlink to a new page?
You cannot link to a page until it has been published to the University's website at http://www.newcastle.edu.au. Simply creating a '.xml' content file and submitting it will not allow your users to view your content on the web. You must add your content to a site file and then submit the site file for your content to be visible.
The general rule to remember is: if you cannot see your web page on the University's website, you cannot create a hyperlink to that page.
Internal links
If you are creating a link to an internal University page, document or site, the web publishing system is set up so that you do not need to enter the full URL of the link. You only need to enter the part of the URL that immediately follows the domain name of http://www.newcastle.edu.au. This is called a server-relative link, and is the recommended way to link to internal pages and documents on our site.

Lesley alumni Gagné and Strickland to perform with Berklee faculty ensemble on December 13
Monday, November 19, 2012
Performing with Berklee faculty all-stars Danny "Mo" Morris and Jon Hazilla, the ensemble will present twists on classic songs and introduce new compositions.
The concert is free and open to the public, to be held at 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 13 in the Marran Theater at Lesley University, located at the corner of Mellen and Oxford streets, Cambridge.
Strickland is a vocalist, saxophonist, flutist, songwriter and actor who has performed around the world. In addition to radio and television appearances, Stan has performed in clubs and concert halls, including Jordan and Symphony Halls in Boston, Carnegie Recital Hall and Town Hall in New York, and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Gagné has been a professional vocalist for over 25 years and has performed for Philip Glass, Penn & Teller, Barenaked Ladies and NBC-TV, among others.
A pianist and songwriter, Gagné is celebrating the release of her new book that offers a wellness-focused approach to musicianship, based on her Lesley graduate work, titled "Your Singing Voice: Contemporary Techniques, Expression and Spirit." She will sign copies of her book at the concert.
"Jeannie is an extraordinarily talented scholar, musician and educator," said Lesley Associate Professor Dr. Marion Nesbit. "It was a true privilege to serve as Jeannie's core faculty during her studies at Lesley and to relish her success in combining exceptional academic and performance talents with a passionate commitment to creating connections between musical performance, wellness and joy."
Strickland and Gagné are Lesley University alumni who teach at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Morris and Hazilla, the other members of the ensemble, play bass and drum set/percussion, respectively.
The free concert, sponsored by the Self Designed Masters Degree Program of Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences and The Dean of Students Office, celebrates the launch of the group's new collaboration and upcoming tour.

text: I've got a 1250 sq foot 50's ranch (Seattle) with a 35+ year old elec. forced air furnace. I'm looking to replace/upgrade and am curious about the new ductless heat pumps on the market. Seattle has a pretty good rebate right now, so I am considering it. Does anyone have experience w/this new heat system? I'm concerned about the few really cold days per year--how well will the heat pump handle that, and the visual un-appeal of having the unit hang on a living room wall. Also concerned about uneven air distribution. I'm also considering gas, but I would have to run a gas line from the nearest corner @ a cost of about 4-5K, which makes that option is a serious investment once I add the cost of furnace, fireplace, etc. I expect to be in the house about 10 more years. Also any comments on re-sale--one system over the other--is appreciated.

Again we are faced with the senseless killing of innocent people, and for what reason?
Immediately in times like these, people start making rash statements about how such horrendous acts of violence can be stopped. Will gun control stop such violence? Will banning the sale of fertilizer prevent another Timothy McVeigh from building a bomb and blowing up a building and killing hundreds? Or will banning airplanes prevent another terrorist attack that could kill thousands?

majors head the list of highest-paid majors for the college Class of 2013, according
to a new report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
In particular, NACE's
April 2013 Salary Survey—the
first look at starting salaries for the Class of 2013—found that seven engineering majors
are among the 10 top-paid for the college Class of 2013. (See Figure 1.)
"Engineering majors are
consistently among the highest paid because the demand for them is so great,"
says Marilyn Mackes, NACE executive director.
far, petroleum engineering majors received the top starting salaries with an
average of $93,500, nearly $22,000 more than the second highest-paid major,
computer engineering at $71,700.
engineering majors among the top-paid are chemical engineering ($67,600),
aerospace/aeronautical/astronautical engineering ($64,400), mechanical
engineering ($64,000), electrical/electronics and communications engineering
($63,400), and engineering technology ($62,200).
top-paid non-engineering majors are computer science, with an average starting
salary of $64,800, followed by management information systems/business
($63,100) and finance ($57,400).
executive summary of the April 2013 Salary Survey report is available at
NACE's next report on starting salaries for Class of 2013
college graduates will be available in the September 2013 issue of Salary
Salary Survey: Salary Survey
reports starting salaries for new college graduates in more than 90 disciplines
at the bachelor's-degree level. Data contained in the report are reported by
employers, represent accepted starting salaries (not salary offers), and are
produced through a compilation of data derived from the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and a master set of data developed by Job
Search Intelligence. Data for the April 2013 report were retrieved in March
2013, and represent the first look at starting salaries for the college Class
of 2013. Salary Survey is published in January, April, and September.

Valpo Rolls Past Chicago State 3-0
Saturday, October 29, 2005Jessi Novak (Antigo, Wis./Antigo) had 11 kills on 18 attacks to lead Valpo to a sixth straight win, 30-17, 30-24, 30-18 over Chicago State Friday night in Chicago, Ill.
Novak's 11 kills led all players, and her .444 hitting percentage was part of a simmering Crusader attack that finished the match hitting .336. Sophomore Nicole Schulz (Kewaskum, Wis./Kettle Moraine Lutheran) hit a match-high .667, recording a career-best four kills on six attacks, and senior Lauren Moulton (Elgin, Ill./Larkin) hit an equally eye-popping .571, notching four kills on seven attacks. Amy Palash (Winfield, Ill./Saint Francis) was second on the team with eight kills, hitting .412. In all, seven Crusaders hit better than .400, and 12 different Valpo players had at least one kill.
Jessie Fox (Granger, Ind./Penn) had a third consecutive strong effort, tallying six kills and a match-high four blocks while hitting .400. In three Crusader wins this week, Fox had 26 kills, 17 blocks, and hit a team-best .407.
Defensively, Katie Bova (Milwaukee, Wis./Divine Savior Holy Angels) and Tiffany Meikle (Cottage Grove, Wis./Monona Grove) had nine digs apiece, and Meikle added six kills to the Crusader attack.
Chicago State (2-24, 1-9 Mid-Con) was held to just a .073 hitting percentage, but did equal the Crusaders block with five. Shakeila Castile-Jones led the Cougars with nine kills.
The Crusaders (21-5, 10-1 Mid-Con) have one match remaining on a four-match road trip, Tuesday night at 6:00 against IPFW in Fort Wayne, Ind. Valpo returns home Friday, November 4 against Oakland. That match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m.

Premier League
October 27, 2012
- FTFT1Aston Villa
- FTFT2Arsenal
- FTFT3Reading
- FTFT4Stoke
- FTFT5Wigan
West Ham2
- FTFT6Man City
And that's the final action of a marathon match - City weren't convincing, and Swansea can feel a bit hard done by, but the champions have won 1-0
Seconds to go. City break with Balotelli, who lashes over the top
Ki, Graham and Dyer combine and it's cleared. The City fans want their players to stop sitting so deep. They push out a bit, and Clichy finds a crossing position. And wastes it, by floating the ball into Hart's hands
100 minutes in. Two to go. One goal the City lead
Tevez picks up a misdirected pass and sets off on another meandering run by the edge of the box. He gets the shot all wrong, though, and it poses no danger to the Swans
Good run by Balotelli, ended on the byline by a splendidly no-nonsense Davies challenge. City have a corner
Then Ki gives the ball away and Yay Toure fails to profit. We still have four minutes or so to play
... but he blazes it high into the stand
Davies again crosses for Swansea from the left. Rangel picks up possession on the other side of the area. The ball breaks to Ki on the edge of the area...
Here comes Lescott, and there goes Aguero
One more change for City... Joleon Lescott is getting ready to come on
Still about ten minutes to play... Routledge tries to take on Kolo Toure down the left, but the defender shows him exactly who's boss in that situation
Dyer engineers a good crossing position on the Swansea right - and then crosses the ball into the stand. What a waste
There will be 12 minutes of injury time, the fourth official says
Keepball from City until Barry finds Aguero... and finds him offside
In the meantime, Swansea are having a good spell of possession. Rangel fires in another cross, and the home side get it away and break...
We'll soon be finding out how much injury time there will be - I'd imagine about ten minutes
Swansea can be pleased with the way they have played, even if they don't end up getting anything out of the match
Rangel fires a dangerous cross in. Danny Graham can't get there, but you could argue that others should have been attacking that one too
Davies gets forward and fires in a dangerous cross for Swansea, which City - not entirely comfortably - get away
Four minutes or so of normal time to go - but there will be a very considerable amount of injury time
City content to play it short. Ki defends well for Swansea, but Mancini's team have the ball again
Clichy is challenged - and fouled - by Nathan Dyer down the City left. Free-kick, and a yellow card for Dyer
Kolo Toure is brought on in place of Richards, and he immediately heads a long Swansea throw clear
Mario Balotelli is having a word with Richards as he is stretchered off. Huge applause from the City supporters for their defender
Hard to tell exactly what happened to him, but it doesn't look good
Indeed he will and, as with Vorm, a crowd of medics surrounds him. He appears to be being given oxygen
Kolo Toure is the likely replacement for Richards, who is receiving treatment and may have to be stretchered off
Micah Richards is down, clutching his knee. There was nobody near him - seems he may have twisted something, and that's another injury setback for Mancini
Heavy challenge on Tevez near the centre circle - free-kick to Manchester City. Toure crosses after a one-two with Tevez, but it drifts beyond his colleagues in attack
Nathan Dyer on, Pablo Hernandez off for Swansea as they make their final change of the evening
Rangel crosses long, and Graham salvages the ball. City thump it clear, but Swansea are flickering back to life. Chico Flores, though, wastes the momentum with a wild shot into the stands
Into the last 15 minutes. Balotelli makes a determined run down the right, but the ball sneaks out before he can get a cross in
Superbly hit by De Guzman, and a warning sign for Mancini's men that they're not safe yet
Routledge in the City area... his cross is unconvincingly cleared by Richards and De Guzman, with a curler from the edge of the box, isn't far off
Michu almost threads a ball through for Graham instantly, but it's cleared. A promising sign, though
Leon Britton off, Danny Graham on as Swansea ring the attacking changes
Tevez tries to start another run but loses it. Michu finds a bit of space on the Swansea left, but he is largely bereft of support and his low cross is cleared
De Guzman and Rangel try to engineer something on the Swansea right. The latter crosses, Michu heads, and it bounces off Kompany and back to Joe Hart
Aguero, after an exchange of passes with Nasri, almost tricks himself and stumbles over the ball in a promising position on the edge of the area
But here they come again: Nasri on the right. His low cross is hacked away by Williams
That said, a long ball down the middle goes nowhere
Manchester City look much more settled, much more constructive. A second goal, you feel, would put it beyond doubt
Their first attempt to get something going is a long, but aimless, ball towards Michu down the right. He can't make anything of that
And, eventually, Swansea kick off. Can they find a route back into this match?
He is now on a stretcher and being carried off. Gerhard Tremmel is on in his place
And still the treatment for Vorm continues. He is surrounded by medical staff
Vorm looks to have pulled a muscle and is still receiving treatment. There will be quite a lengthy delay before the game kicks off again
Keeper Vorm looks to have hurt himself in attempting to get across to that... and it looks as though he will have to be stretchered off
GOAL Tevez makes a run and fires in a brilliant shot from almost 25 yards - it flies into the bottom corner and the champions have the breakthrough
At the other end, a jinking run by Tevez, but the shot is weak and easily held by Vorm
...It's a great headed chance, but steered too close to Hart, who saves
Again, though, they're being forced back - but Hernandez takes a chance to come forward and crosses to Michu...
Davies takes it, and they quickly win another
A little bit of a breather for Swansea as they head into the City half and win a throw
Nasri gets a ricochet on his own attempted pass and tries to take that on through the middle. Toure takes over, and Barry steers the ball to Aguero, who doesn't hit his attempted shot well at all
Barry and Toure link in midfield. Clichy then looks for Nasri on the right, but the pass is overhit
And indeed he is: he's back on his feet and the game will resume
As he went for that, Williams takes a knock. He's being treated, but should be OK
City corner: they're becoming a bit relentless. Richards heads this one over
Micah Richards gets on the end of a great Tevez ball down the right and crosses low - it looked as though Mario Balotelli was shoved as he went for it, but ref Atkinson says no penalty
Chico Flores takes his time over a free-kick inside his own half. That irks the crowd, but City soon win the ball back anyway
Nasri puts Balotelli clear, but Vorm is out quickly, forcing him wide, and the cutback is cleared
Good attack by the home side, but well dealt with by the Swans
City cut out a De Guzman through ball - Nasri crosses and Chico Flores denies Balotelli
As if to prove the point, Tevez harries young full-back Ben Davies and wins a throw
Swansea are caught offside in their first forward foray of the half, and forward come City. They seem to be doing things just a little bit quicker in this half so far
Within seconds, Balotelli has an effort blocked, and those improvements have generated a response from the crowd
It's better already: Aguero makes a determined run and, although he curls his effort wide, that's more the approach the fans want to see
Balotelli is on for Kolarov as the second half begins - a statement of intent from Mancini after that lacklustre first-half display
Last free-kick of the half for City. It is blazed over the top, the whistle goes and there are boos for the home side. 0-0 at the break, Swansea the better side
Two extra minutes. There will be a few mumblings from the stands at half-time, you feel
Aguero takes it and, in keeping with his side's attacking performance, can't get it past the first defender
There'll be a bit of injury time after Michu's treatment. City have a corner...
Routledge is halted and Micah Richards comes forward down the right for the champions. Again, the visitors are holding their shape admirably
Tevez tries to bring a flash of inspiration to a drab evening with a jinking run but - as with almost everything else City have done so far - it fizzles out
Swans manager Michael Laudrup, however, will be very pleased with what his team have done in this first half - they could, and probably should, be in front
Manchester City, you would imagine, will get an ear-bashing in a few moments
That was the best chance of the game by a distance, and it tells you everything you need to know that it should have fallen to the visitors
Michu is through and onside for Swansea, running into the area from the left... his first touch is a bit heavy and Hart blocks the eventual shot
Richards is booked for his earlier foul
Good refereeing from Martin Atkinson to play the advantage, and a good move by Swansea
Tevez fires a shot from the right-hand corner of the box, which Vorm holds. Then Hernandez crosses after the referee plays on after a Richards foul, and the ball is hacked clear
Good noise from the Swansea fans, who so far aren't having anything like the kind of difficult night they might have feared
Then Swansea play Michu through - he's offside but finishes neatly (if pointlessly) past Joe Hart. Still 0-0. Very 0-0
You cannot imagine Roberto Mancini being a happy man at half-time. This lethargy is not what he would have wanted... Tevez tries to change that but is crowded out
Oh dear - Clichy gets a cross all wrong and balloons the ball high into the stand behind Vorm's goal
De Guzman slips as he tries to control a ball through to him in midfield - that could have been promising for the visitors had he managed to stay on his feet
Kolarov pops up on the right, and then the ball is worked to Barry. He tries to slip a pass through to Tevez, but puts too much on it
Neat again from Swansea in midfield. Rangel plays it forward, but City can usher that away. They play it forward again, and Chico Flores is crowded out by Kompany
...Again, though, they're forced back. Already, there are signs of frustration from the home fans
Kompany deals elegantly with a long ball from Davis but yet again Swansea's shape as the hosts come forward is good. But Richards finds a cross, which goes too long but is salvaged by Clichy...
Not a classic. Not a classic at all
Coming up to the half hour, and City are in midfield again. But their play is stodgy, and when the ball is played forward it's too far in front of Aguero and goes for a goal-kick
It's as though the shadow of that 3-1 defeat at Ajax is subduing them and the crowd, too, who have been pretty quiet
Definite suspicions of a Champions League hangover here for Manchester City. They haven't got going at all
Nastasic is fouled by De Guzman just inside the Swansea half. Yaya Toure will mastermind operations from the free-kick
De Guzman gets a shove on halfway. The free-kick goes long towards Michu, who is offside
'Stand up for the champions,' chant the City fans - but they're not looking particularly championish so far. An aimless long ball goes nowhere, does nothing
He's back on his feet now, though, and play resumes
A long delay while Michu is treated
Michu flings himself at a Hernandez cross and is hurt as Micah Richards challenges him. He looks dazed, and a concerned Joe Hart tries to make sure the physio is on as soon as possible
But then Tevez does well on the left and tries to bend a low ball in for the onrushing Aguero. Vorm is alert to the danger and smothers the ball
You can't say Swansea have been overstretched so far. You can't really say they've been stretched too much at all
Toure tries to get on the end of a one-two, but the return pass goes astray
A wonderful touch from Aguero gets a long ball under control, but he just overdoes his attempted pass out to Kolarov on the left and it goes out of play
Throw to City, which Clichy will take in an attacking position. They lose the ball, but in the ensuing scrapping concede a free-kick to the Swans
...and is adjudged, harshly, to have dived after running in to Barry
Pablo Hernandez and Ki work the ball to Rangel. He slumps to the ground...
He looks to be fouled... play on, says the referee, but Swansea clear
Coming up to the quarter of an hour mark, and this game has yet to really come to life. Michu tries to change that, working the ball to Routledge
Swansea's first threat of the game. At the other end, Toure tries to get the ball forward but Williams is resolute
There's a bit of a delay before De Guzman whips it in well. Hart doesn't get there, but the offside flag is up
Free-kick to Swansea in a good crossing position on their left
Swansea can be pretty pleased with their start. Ten minutes in, they're looking quite comfortable and assured
Kompany again: but as he brings the ball forward, Swansea are harrying the home side's midfielders and forcing them back
The ball drifts out of play on the City left and now Swansea have a spell of possession in the middle third... before heading all the way back to keeper Vorm
Tevez takes the ball on from Aguero's hold-up play and tries to burst into the area before being crowded out
Swansea caught offside and the home side, patiently and smoothly, try to work the ball through the middle - but to no avail
In possession terms, it's all Manchester City in these early stages. We're yet to have a meaningful effort from either side so far, however
Richards comes forward down the right and absolutely hammers in a cross, which bounces to safety off one of his own team-mates
Not for long, though - the ball is back with the hosts. Then Swansea try a long pass down the middle, which Hart gathers with no fuss
