Aurora social clubs concerned over state's video gaming ban

The 2009 law that permitted video gambling machines to be installed in restaurants and bars doesn't extend to private social clubs, the Illinois Gaming Board ruled Thursday.
And that has many private clubs in the Aurora area concerned.
Some 20 such clubs statewide had applied in recent months to be licensed to offer video gaming, and on Thursday the board rejected those types of applications, said Gene O'Shea, a spokesman for the Gaming Board.
"It was just basically a point of clarification for some of these social clubs that have applied, saying you're not going to be allowed to have video gaming because they don't fall under the legal definition of a retail establishment," O'Shea said.
O'Shea said gun, fishing and hunting clubs are the kinds of clubs that wouldn't qualify to be allowed to install the gaming machines.
Richard Lamphere, manager of the Luxemburger Club in Aurora, is convinced this ruling by the Illinois Gaming Board will not only hurt his club, in existence since 1917, it could very well put all of Aurora's many other private clubs out of business.
He says the club is already affected financially by the fact the Turner Club and Parkside Lanes, both located in Aurora Township, have started offering video gambling, as has Little Red School House in North Aurora; Blackberry Bar and Grill in Elburn; Olde Tyme Inn in Sandwich; and The Friendly Tap in Plano.
"There's no doubt we are being discriminated against," said Lamphere.
The first of the legal video gambling machines went live in the Fox Valley in December when Parkside Lanes began offering the video machines in the bowling alley that is located right outside the city limits. Aurora has yet to OK video gambling at any sites in the city.
Ron Jakious, who was president of the Luxemburger Club until January, says the decision Thursday by the gaming board will affect the entire community because the many private clubs in Aurora sponsor so many youth sports programs.
Jay Spoden, president of Tiger Amusements/TAV Gaming, who is also a member of the Luxemburger Club, said Thursday "was not a good day for private clubs" in Illinois.
"They are getting screwed," he said.
His Sugar Grove-based company is a supplier of video gambling machines
But the decision by the gaming board "was not a death knoll by any means," he added, because the issue will come before the board again in a month.
Spoden believes there are other ways to get around this problem. The state, he says, is likely not aware of how many years these private clubs have been around and have been paying into the system.
The problem, he said, is that "five guys who want to drink in a garage" can apply for a liquor license and therefore be deemed a private social club. He said it could just be a matter of changing the rules to include private clubs that have been in operation for a certain length of time.
He said it could also mean adding another layer of licensing — one that would fit the description for organizations like The Luxemburger Club, Tiger Club or Third Ward Club that have been around for so long.
But Lamphere worries that time may run out on these private clubs as this issue continues to be debated. The clubs are just holding on now, he said, and by the time this gets resolved, "it may be too late."

The latest new handsets from LG, such as the LG Nexus 5 and the LG G2, are packed with incredible features, to ensure that you get a fantastic smartphone experience.
Running on the Android operating system, these LG mobile phones are slim, compact and easy-to-use. Fantastic viewing capabilities, and a whole host of the latest technology, ensures that you get the best out of your device.
LG has created a new teaser site to show off some more details of their upcoming wearable device, the LG G Watch. Running on the Android Wear platform, the G Watch also features a water-resistant body (similar to smartphones like the Sony Xperia Z2 and the Samsung Galaxy S5), and an 'always-on' screen. While it remains to be seen how this will affect battery life, it makes the G Watch eminently more useful in its traditional role as a watch!
After Motorola was bought from Google, by Lenovo, many people assumed that Lenovo/Motorola would be making the next Nexus phone, but it seems like that might not be the case after all. If the latest rumour is true, the Nexus 6 will actually be made by someone else entirely...
With the Mobile World Congress event fast approaching, what innovative new mobile tech can we expect to see?
The incredible Google pure-bred device has a paint job and is now brighter than ever.
With a large amount of rumoured LG handsets set to be unveiled at MWC 2014, leaked images of the Korean tech giants' new phablet device have been seen online.
A leading electronics brands with plenty of arrows in their bow, LG has achieved record phone sales recently to make them one of the largest mobile manufacturers on the global market. With a great range of models which include new offerings like the LG Optimus 4X HD, you'll find a great range of intuitive features set within attractive phone casings and enhanced by access to thousands of apps on the Android App Market with South Korean firm LG.
With 16GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM in the Optimus 4X GD, functionality will never be an issue for these handsets. Even the compact LG Optimus L3 performs well on the market with 1GB internal storage which can be expanded by 32GB through a MicroSD card slot and can be obtained on a range of fantastic phone offers from leading networks like O2, Vodafone, Orange and T Mobile.
For those looking for a smartphone which leaps into action straight from the box, models such as the LG Nexus 4 are firm favourites. The 4.7 inch True HD IPS Plus screen gets everything into focus while the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset keeps everything running smoothly with 1.5GHz of power and 2GB of RAM. For a mid-range handset which gives you plenty of value for money, why not look at the LG Optimus L7? Using Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) straight out of the box and with LG's customer user interface to keep everything familiar, it's certainly a worthwhile competitor for those interested in our phone upgrade options.

Skunk-To Dye Black
Skunk-To Dye Black-How and with what can a striped skunk fur be colored black?
Dying furs is something that can not be done successfully by an amateur-it requires much knowledge and experience. The manufacturers cut out the white stripe, and it is not used with natural black fur but is dyed and made up separately. I trust that you were thinking of coloring this fur for your own use, and not to make it sell as a higher grade to the fur dealers. If you were thinking of trying this latter scheme don�t do it. You couldn�t fool a fur buyer that way, and if you are not honest yourself how could you expect the dealer to treat you squarely. Most of the dealers are honest and pay all for raw furs that they can afford to pay-sometimes they even pay too much-although from the way many trappers and shippers talk you wouldn�t believe it. If there is any great profit in the fur business, it is not the raw fur dealer that gets it. I say, play fair and then you are justified in looking for a square deal.

I have been searching high and low for info on how to setup plumbing for a washer and sink and finally found this drawing on this site. The diagram is close to what I need except my sink is on the left side and the washer is on the right.
Base on this diagram, can I run the sink drain below the washer drain or run the washer drain directly to the vent and add a new vent above 42" to the sink drain instead? Reason for asking is to avoid cutting too many holes on the wall stubs.

Thanks! That's perfect. --
Oops spoke to soon. Here's the issue I having.
The vent line is about 7 feet to the right side of where my sink and washer are. From your picture, I can't get the sink drain line to the sink inside the 4" wall. I can run the drain line outside of the wall but was hoping to hide all the pipes.
Issue -
Will this work?

Spiced Persimmon Olive Oil Cake
Author Notes: When I recently found myself with an abundance of Fuyu persimmons, I figured the best way to make my way through the mother lode would be to find ways to bake them into something sweet. My first thought was of one of my very favorite recipes ever, the Zucchini Olive Oil Cake from Gina DePalma at Babbo Ristorante in New York City. Her cake is pretty much flawless, so I was a little hesitant to mess with the recipe, but I held my breath and tinkered and came up with this cake, which gets more of its sweetness from the fruit and is great with just a dusting of powdered sugar. (Okay, and maybe a little whipped cream wouldn't hurt either.) I like the whole wheat flour because it adds nice texture, but you can go with 100% all-purpose flour if you prefer. Fuyu persimmons are essential, though, as they have the right texture for grating. - vvvanessa
Food52 Review: This cake is a delightful choice to ring in the cold weather when persimmons are at their peak. I loved everything about this cake; all of the tiny touches -- the brightly colored grated fruit, the bit of whole-wheat flour, the freshly grated ginger, and roasted ground pecans combined with a bright, bold olive oil –- add up to one delicious cake with an enchanting melody of flavors. A note to cooks: the fruit does add a lot of sweetness –- experiment with cutting the sugar down if you want the fruit sugars to shine through. I used half the recommended amount and it came out wonderfully. - thebreukelenlife
Serves 10 to 12
- 1-2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, preferably one that is full-bodied and fruity
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated peeled ginger
- 2 1/2 cups grated Fuyu persimmon (about 4 medium persimmons; use the large holes of a box grater)
- 1 cup finely ground toasted pecans
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Generously butter a minimum 10-cup capacity bundt pan, then add 2 tablespoons flour to the pan and coat the entire interior with the flour, tapping out the excess.
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (not the sugar, though) and set them aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil until well combined and light, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla and ginger for a few seconds more.
- Add in the dry ingredients, and beat on low just to combine. Raise the speed to medium and continue to mix for another 30 seconds. Add in the persimmons and nuts, and beat for a few more seconds until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the pan from one side to avoid air pockets. Bake on the center rack for 45-50 minutes, rotating the pan about 20 minutes into baking. The cake is done when the cake tests clean in the deepest part of the pan.
- Cool the cake for about 10 minutes then invert it onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Put the powdered sugar in a fine sieve and, tapping the rim of the sieve, dust the sugar over the cake. Slice and serve.

SMEs Sector in Pakistan
We know that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in the social and economic development of Pakistan, where they produce a wide range of goods, provide employment for a large number of skilled and semi-skilled workers in both urban and rural areas, account for a substantial proportion of manufacturing output, and make a major contribution to the country's balance of payments. In overall terms, SMEs account for about 30% of Pakistan's GDP, 15% of investment, and 80% of employment. They also play a prominent role as existing or potential producers of export goods. SMEs may thus be justifiably characterized as the principal building blocks of the Pakistani economy, providing the country with many opportunities for increased employment (including female employment) and poverty eradication on the one hand, and enhanced productivity, competitiveness and international market penetration on the other.
Despite its importance as an engine of growth in the Pakistani economy, the SME sector continues to suffer from a variety of weaknesses. These lingering weaknesses have been widely recognized by the government and other developmental partners in Pakistan, who have attempted to overcome them through a number of measures introduced in recent years. To address the policy-level constraints, the Government of Pakistan introduced a new economic policy on 15 December 1999, which places high priority of the promotion of SMEs. At the institutional level, a number of specialized agencies have been established to support the growth and development of SMEs.
Due in great part to earlier UNIDO efforts, a variety of government agencies and private sector institutions in Pakistan have adopted the Cluster and Network Development (CND) approach as a major tool for the promotion of SMEs. Such CND programmes now constitute a very important part of the government's SME promotion strategy, with even greater emphasis expected to be placed on this approach in the future.
Several major ministries have the primary public responsibility for regulation and promotion of the SME sector, especially the Ministry of Industries, the Ministry of Commerce, and Ministry of Science and Technology. However, as they address a broad constituency, the bodies that are most directly responsible for SME development and promotion are:
- The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA), which was set up in 1998 as the apex body for the promotion of SMEs in Pakistan, and is associated with the Ministry of Industries and Production.
- The SME Bank, which emerged from the restructuring and amalgamation of the earlier Regional Development Finance Corporation and Small Business Finance Corporation in January 2002, and which is mandated to support and develop the SME sector by providing the necessary financial and technical support on a sustainable basis.
- A number of small industry development corporations operated by the various provincial governments, such as the Punjab Small Industries Corporation (PSIC), the Sindh Small Industries Corporation (SSIC), the NWFP Small Industries Development Board, the Mineral and Industrial Development Corporation Azad Kashmir, and the Directorate of Small Industries Balochistan.
- The Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) – now TDAP, which is associated with the Ministry of Commerce and acts as a facilitator to help SMEs gain access to foreign markets.
- The Ministry of Science and Technology, which provides significant support services within its field of competence to SMEs.
- The National Productivity Organization, which comes under the aegis of the Ministry of Industry and Production, and is affiliated to the Asian productivity Organization. It imparts productivity tools for SMEs in Pakistan as well as organizing training workshops on various topics related to SMEs.
- The network of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, which operate at both the local level throughout Pakistan and the national level through the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI). They play a pivotal role in conducting trade negotiations and creating linkages and between enterprises in Pakistan and foreign countries through their association with counterpart institutions in these counties.

The Pogoplug Series 4 is a cleverly simple device for getting files and media from your hard drive, USB drive, or SD card online and making them shareable with smartphones, tablets, and PCs. While many may find it redundant with cloud storage services, the Series 4 is easily the best version of the Pogoplug to date.
The Pogoplug Pro adds Wi-Fi and costs $30 less than its predecessor, and remains a unique and easy-to-set-up device for sharing files online. However, many of its higher-end features (printing, media streaming) remain buggy and unreliable.
If you're eager to try out Pogoplug PC, the Toshiba Canvio Connect is a good buy, especially if your computer supports USB 3.0. Otherwise, keep looking for better deals.
With more USB ports and a few new features, the new Pogoplug remains a unique and relatively easy way to share files online. However, its media-streaming features leave something to be desired.
Toshiba announces the shipment of the Canvio Connect USB 3.0 portable drive, including a lifetime subscription to Pogoplug for personal cloud storage on the host computer.
This new backup service looks pretty promising, but it's the free Pogoplug Classic (value: $49.95) that really seals the deal.
The Pogoplug provides a quick and easy way to share files from any USB storage device to users on a home network or over the Internet.
Pricing not available
Why settle for one deal when you can get three? But hurry up: two of them have the potential to sell out.
Feel like streaming music, photos, and video on the go but don't want to upload it to someone else's cloud? The Pogoplug Video turns your own hard drives into online-sharable media libraries.
Or get a Pogoplug Classic for about the same price. Both gizmos make it easy to add Web- and mobile-accessible storage to your home network.

Whale watching was a relatively new concept when John Fish's grandfather started giving tours. "We kind of originated it," Mr. Fish says. "Thirty years ago we were the only ones doing whale watching." As the company became more successful over the years, additional captains were brought on to cover the demand. Today, these crews continue to ferry groups into the habitats of several whale species, including humpback whales and sperm whales. Though the whales seen along Cap'n Fish's Whale Watch's journeys still breach and refuse to sign autographs, other things have changed over the years. Below deck, the current fleet's engines work to reduce emissions and provide a fume-free experience. Above deck, 360-degree viewing decks and modern technology help bring whales into sight. Onboard computers display large maps of where the aquatic mammals are known to swim, and GPS systems reroute boats around mermen constructing new reefs. In addition to illuminating the behavior of whales for passengers, the crew's wildlife experts point passengers toward other animals they spot along the way, such as white-sided dolphins and harbor seals. Though some variables are beyond their control, the crew members almost always spot whales and boasted a 98% success rate in 2009.

What can states do to lure startups? Be better states
Ethan Miller/Getty Images
Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh delivers a keynote presentation at the MAGIC clothing industry convention in the Las Vegas. Don't worry about the tax breaks, he suggests to the states, because companies may have already made up their minds about where they want to be.
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh was on a panel today at the Milken Institute Global Conference that I'm covering this week. The title was "Why Wait for Washington? How Can States Create Jobs and Economic Growth." Former California Governor Gray Davis was also on the panel, as was current Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, so you had some good statehouse-level perspective. Paul Kedrosky, something of a Renaissance man, moderated.
I found one comment from Hsieh to be particularly interesting, in light of how we might reflexively think about how states can attract businesses. He said that, basically, tax breaks have not very much to do with it. Or more accurately, they're a nice bit of icing on the cake — as well as a negotiating tactic that entrepreneurs can use in their favor.
When Zappos wanted to locate their fulfillment center, they chose Louisville, Kentucky, primarily because it was close to Federal Express's hub. The company's recent decision to move its headquarters to Las Vegas — to downtown Las Vegas, no less — was because Hsieh and his team liked the weather and have some ambitious ideas about the role of cities in fostering a creating class, to use Richard Florida's term for a clustering of young, energetic people who are invested in making cities succeed.

In The Hunt For Traction, Options Abound
You've already heard why four-wheeling without locking diffs is really two-wheeling, or in some cases, one-wheeling. The question is, what to do about it.
The answers depend on what you drive, how much you want to spend, and what kind of driving you do. Generally, the more you four-wheel, the more you need a traction-adding differential (TAD).
The type of four-wheeling you do determines the type of TAD you want. Almost every traction-adding differential has some kind of weakness, limitation, or downside, which might include cost of installation, reliability, handling characteristics, torque-biasing capability, or noise generation.
There are lockers, limited slips and spools to choose from.
When we use the term "locker," we mean a device that actually locks up the differential so that both tires turn equally when power is applied. These may be selectable lockers, or automatic lockers.
Selectable lockers include the ARB Air Locker, cable-operated lockers, and several types of electromagnetic lockers that can be actuated via switch. They all require the operator to decide when to lock the differential and when to unlock it, so the installation will include the need to wire up a switch or other shift mechanism on the dash. They have the advantage of being completely transparent when not in operation--driven in the unlocked mode, there is no effect on steering or handling. So selectable lockers can be used in the front differential of a 4x4 without creating a handling/safety issue. Selectable lockers actually lock up the differential to split torque evenly--usually by means of pinion gears--so they offer the performance of a true locker. And because these lockers remain unlocked most of the time, rather than continually locking and unlocking on their own, they do not add wear to driveline components.
Automatic lockers are those that lock and unlock in response to changing conditions. They default to a 50/50 torque split but are designed to unlock through corners, permitting the tires to go around a corner without scuffing, and then lock again when a torque differential occurs between wheels. The advantages of automatic lockers include the fact that no driver input is necessary, so there is no need for a switch on the dash. The disadvantages are that automatic lockers can be noisy, harsh, and they can impart unwanted handling characteristics in complicated traction settings.
When we use the term "limited-slip," we are referring to those traction-adders that bias torque away from a spinning wheel toward a wheel with traction by progressively binding up the differential between them. This may be achieved by use of clutch packs, sliding cone engagement, or gear arrangements. The advantages of a limited-slip are that they are relatively driver-friendly, without the noise and harsh engagement characteristics of a true locker, and are therefore more versatile in their application. Some can transfer more torque than others, but all have their limits. Whatever the case, a limited slip provides less traction than a true locker, but much more than an open differential.
A spool, which replaces the differential, is sometimes mentioned as an option to a locking differential. A spool functionally locks both wheels together so that they must always turn at the same speed. There is zero wheel speed differentiation when going around a corner, so the inside wheel will chirp and scuff, and hopping may occur; on pavement, the axleshafts could absorb a lot of twisting. However, spools are cheap and strong. As long as the vehicle in question never needs to go around a corner, or it is always used on loose soils, a spool could be an option. For anything other than a mud bogger or sand dragster, we would say there are better options.
A word about reliability and durability: Most lockers are stronger than the parts around them, so concerns about a properly-installed locking unit itself breaking are usually misplaced. Some tend to wear more rapidly than others, but most carry warranties of a year or more. The real risk is that in an irresistible-force-versus-immovable-object situation, lockers can transmit enough force to permit twisting up a driveshaft, crunching pinion gears, or tearing the splined end off an axle. As a rule, when big engines, torque-multiplying transfer cases and tall tires combine, it's rarely the locker that crumbles.
Following is a quick review of the types of lockers out there and their potentially ideal applications.

I would tuck my daughter in my arms and ask what she wanted and needed. I would be available for whatever she chose including living with me and having the baby at home. Honestly I would be most concerned about prenatal health and would prefer her close by, if she wanted to leave that would be the hardest thing for me.
I would hope she wouldn't want to have an abortion and I may try to steer her away from that but I would not judge her or be angry if she chose that. If she wanted to give the baby up for adoption, I would want to adopt him/her. If she wanted to keep the baby, I'd do everything I could to help her be the best mom she could be.
I had my first exactly 2 weeks before my 21st birthday (I know, quite a bit older than 16-17). My bf left me for someone else when I was about 6 months pregnant. My parents encouraged me to have an abortion but I just couldn't go through with it. I have regretted getting pregnant when I was young and single and didn't have a stable life but I have never regretted having my ds.


text: All I can say is I've received everything I've ever ordered from them -- unless its schedule slid resulting in cancellation. Just because they had issues resulting from their system change back in August/September doesn't mean they are a permanent problem. The only caveat I would mention would be don't order from Warner if you HAVE to have the titles soon. You may well get them within a week or so, but it could take much longer. Impatient people should order from some other supplier!

Public Act 277 of 2011
First of all, charter schools do not threaten me. Nor did I suggest that they were not public schools. However, here are some facts from my experience. 1. Charter schools do not have to operate under the same rules as regular public schools. They do not have to accept everyone who shows up like regular public schools nor do they have to keep them. Charter schools also do not have to do the same amount of documentation regarding student progress that the regular public schools do nor do they have to do much about proving what they are doing to improve student progress. 2. I work in special education so I routinely get IEPs from the schools the kids are coming from. I have yet to find an IEP from a charter school that is even halfway toward being well written. 3. There have been several families that have left the district to go to charters and, guess what, about 75% of them return. 4. I have no problem with "competetion" if it is a fair one. Make the charter schools follow the same rules, prove their results, take everyone who shows up and keep them like the regular public schools do and provide the same services.
After the bill has passed, I've learned that high-performing charter schools were never subject to the cap anyway. If a charter school could demonstrate that they were giving their students the best education possible and the students in that school received good grades (presumably that's judged by their scores on standardized tests), then the state would allow the school to open additional locations, etc.
I feel that organizations like MAPSA gave very little information about this issue on purpose, so that they could urge everybody to contact their representatives about it. I just wonder why MAPSA would do this. Why would they want the cap removed from poorly performing schools? Is it truly to promote competition? I think the real purpose is monetary or political. Look at the vote results. Only Republicans voted for it, yet education is something that I wouldn't expect to be polarized along party lines. Something is wrong here.
My representative pointed out that 75% of Michigan charter schools are performing below average. The charter school my son attends has always been excellent, so I assumed all charter schools would be. I can see now that I was wrong.
I hope Gov. Snyder vetoes this bill. If it passes, I hope legislators will work to make charter schools and public schools equally accountable for the quality of education they offer their students.

What to look for A lightly padded shaper bra. You don't need superstrong support, yet a lot of A-cups go for curve-crushing styles anyway. Why not feel more feminine? "Even no-nonsense athletes try on shapers and say, 'I like this,'" Lawson says. Padding also helps dim headlights. (High beams are more of an issue for small chests, which have less tissue around nipples.)
What to avoid A loose rib band and gaps and folds in the fabric. Too-big bras won't move with you, which can lead to chafing on skin and nipples.

The Aqaba Project
Donald Whitcomb
The city of Aqaba has received a vast increase in information on the history of its settlement. Most recently, a team under Dr. Thomas Parker of North Carolina State University followed the initial survey work of the Oriental Institute by John Meloy and successfully uncovered the Roman and early Byzantine cities. The Oriental Institute excavations concentrated on the occupation during the early Islamic period, when it was called Ayla. The early medieval city was of some regional importance, particularly as a southern port for Bilad al-Sham, the "port of Palestine on the China Sea" in the words of Muqaddasi, and as a major station on the Pilgrim route from Palestine, Egypt, and North Africa. Still, the city did not grow into a great metropolis and its fleeting prosperity and the fame of its notables was soon forgotten.
Archaeological research brought to light the early Islamic city, founded during the early caliphate of 'UthmOmegan ibn 'AffOmegan. This town was occupied from about a.d. 650 to the arrival of the Crusaders after a.d. 1100. The site is now being developed into a tourist attraction, giving a historical depth to the modern port, Jordan's window to the south and its connection with trade of the Indian Ocean and beyond. Nothing was known of the physical remains of Ayla until the arrival of T. E. Lawrence in 1911, whose observations were not improved upon until the recent excavations. The city was engulfed in the sands until revealed by excavations from 1986 to 1995 under the sponsorship of the Oriental Institute and the Department of Antiquities of Jordan (see fig. 1). A grant from USAID, through the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR), enabled large-scale operations in 1987, which resulted in the major discoveries of the Egyptian Gate and northwest city wall, the Pavilion Building in the center of the city, several residential units, and the Large Enclosure. The seasons of 1988 and 1989 were devoted to investigation of the southern quadrant of the city in cooperation with the development of the Royal Yacht Club on this property. Each of these seasons of fieldwork served as salvage operations that identified the importance of the site and preserved this monument in the heart of the modern city.
The first phase, the circumference and stratification of the city, is now complete; as one might expect from the excavation of an entire city, many lacunae remain in the history of Ayla. The second phase of archaeological research is focused on functional aspects of this early Islamic city, the central institutions. A beginning was made in 1993, when the Congregational Mosque of Ayla was discovered.
The Excavations
This season of excavations lasted from the end of October until the end of December 1995 and aimed at the investigation of the earliest remains on the site by concentrating on the periphery of the Congregational Mosque (see fig. 1). The mosque was explored in 1987, 1992, and especially in 1993 and the Central Pavilion was excavated as Area A in 1986 and 1987. The general hypothesis guiding this research was that beneath and to the east of the Congregational Mosque (which was built in Phase B, 750-850) lies the first mosque, part of the original town plan of 'UthmOmegan ibn 'AffOmegan (ca. 650). Further, it was hypothesized that the early mosque was associated with an administrative complex or governor's residence, the dar al-imara, which could lie between the mosque and Central Pavilion. These two structures would represent the two crucial institutions defining this early Islamic city.
Soundings in previous seasons had indicated the existence of architectural remains within the wadi, which suggested an efficient chance to reveal part of the Umayyad town plan. Further excavations expanded onto the northern bank of the wadi, which provided a stratigraphic continuity with later periods and results from previous seasons. The stratigraphic evidence resulting from this season was over 2 m of Umayyad (and Rashidun) phases beneath later Abbasid and Fatimid levels. In the bed of the wadi was over 1 m of Umayyad occupation extending into the present water table.
Area G
The first area investigated was located to the southeast of the Abbasid Congregational Mosque in the northeastern section of the city. Excavations in the wadi bed in 1993 showed the practicality of uncovering extensive areas of the earliest occupation phase on the site (Phase A, 650-750). This efficiency in reaching early occupation levels without extensive overburden is balanced by the liabilities of digging in a large drainage channel. A flash flood in 1993 effectively obliterated two weeks of work in the wadi and illustrated the temporary nature of these results, however dramatic and important.
One of the towers on the city wall was excavated (Tower 11, located next to the corner tower that is now situated under the Corniche bridge). Tower 11 belonged to the original city wall; it is filled with Mahesh debris (ca. 750-800), indicating that it went out of use at the end of the Umayyad period. This was the tenth tower to be excavated (out of some twenty-four around the circumference of the city); its excavation confirmed and provided new details and added more information on the phasing out of the tower's use. A series of rooms was built beside the city wall, probably storerooms judging from the numerous Ayla type amphorae discovered within them.
These rooms faced a street with a double colonnade, over 15 m wide; beyond the street was another series of rooms to the northwest. This formal, classical street was part of the original town plan; the plan was almost immediately changed with the addition of walls dividing the porticoes into irregular rooms (fig. 2). The architectural remains indicate three, and possibly four, phases of construction during the first century of occupation. This pattern of change suggests that the original classical plan did not prove satisfactory. It is likely that the first settlers, whether mawali of 'UthmOmegan ibn 'AffOmegan from Madina or Egyptian converts, brought with them regional ideas and experiences of urban planning. One of the opportunities of the Ayla excavations is to observe these varied influences in the beginnings of Islamic urbanization and their development through this early Islamic period.
Area A
The excavations in 1987 revealed a rectangular building that, in its latest phase, was a residence of the Fatimid period. Evidence from the external walls indicated arched openings 3.5 m wide on the southwestern, northwestern, and southeastern sides. These architectural fragments suggest that the earliest form of this building might have been an open pavilion. Further excavations in 1988 proved that this central structure marked the crossing of the axial streets and was analogous to the tetrapylon of classical cities, manifest in early Islamic foundations such as Anjar. From the time of its discovery, an association with a central administrative complex, perhaps an early Islamic governor's residence, was hypothesized.
The second area of excavations was the middle wadi to the south of the Abbasid mosque and near the Central Pavilion. The exterior of the qibla wall of the mosque was revealed in 1993; in the later phases (C-D, 950-1100), there were several walls attached to the mosque wall with tabuns (ovens) suggesting domestic activities. Expansion of this excavation disclosed a large courtyard of the Fatimid period behind the mihrab of the mosque. The courtyard was filled with ceramic vessels broken in situ (possibly due to the 1068 earthquake); all ceramics were recovered and are being restored in Chicago, in an effort to obtain a large assemblage of contemporary Fatimid period vessels.
The results of this season's stratigraphy were anticipated from a deep sounding that was located outside of one of the arched entries into the Central Pavilion, which was excavated in 1987 (labeled H11a-1…16). This sequence began with late Abbasid glazed ceramics; beneath these were very distinctive ceramics called Mahesh wares (Phase B, a.d. 750-850). This assemblage was deposited upon a thick plaster floor, very similar to the bedding used for mosaics. Under this floor were Umayyad and pre-Umayyad materials down to earlier paving stones and the threshold of the gate. This trench showed the association of ceramic sequences with architectural phases and, more importantly, gave an indication of the formal structures to be found in the original town plan.
Evidence of Abbasid occupation occurred below this yard and was found with a series of thick plaster floors. These plaster floors were badly damaged by a series of Fatimid or Abbasid pits and extensive robbing of the earlier stone walls. One can associate this destruction with the building of the Congregational Mosque in the early Abbasid period. Beneath the plaster floors was a thick accumulation of Umayyad fill above earlier floors using the same walls. Another set of wall foundations indicates even earlier structures, over 2 m deeper, all of the Umayyad period. The diagram of G12b loci (fig. 3) might clarify this complex history: (A) three phases of Umayyad occupation associated with a massive stone building; (B) fill of Umayyad debris and Mahesh materials transitional to early Abbasid floors; (C) Abbasid pitting and wall removal associated with mosque construction; and (D) Fatimid courtyard and occupation behind the mosque. Needless to say, details of this history must be confirmed, though the general outline fits the evidence recovered from previous seasons in Aqaba.
The Umayyad period architecture of the middle wadi (Area A) presents a sharp contrast to the street and residential elements near the city wall (Area G). As one moves closer to the center of the city, the walls become thicker and better built. A major wall with external buttresses and inner buttressed rooms suggests a large, impressive structure (fig. 4). The paving is often fine, with large flagstones and thick plaster. Several of the rooms had traces of painted plaster, unfortunately now destroyed. The buttressed wall seems to have enclosed one, or possibly two, large buildings. Description of this building is frustrated by the limited recovery under the Fatimid and Abbasid overburden and because of damage caused during those later periods.
The interpretation of the architecture to the south (and under) the Abbasid mosque is very uncertain. The first suggestion was that this building might be the dar al-imara of the early Islamic town. Architectural details, such as a doorway beneath the Abbasid mihrab and walls extending beneath the qibla wall, indicate that the earlier mosque (if beneath the Abbasid mosque) must have been much smaller than assumed. On the other hand, evidence has accumulated to suggest that the Umayyad mosque must be located elsewhere in the town. Thus the large and important buildings discovered this season might not be associated with the dar al-imara , though official or administrative functions are certainly possible. The complexities of urban architecture revealed in the Ayla excavations emphasize the general lack of archaeological evidence for the process of urbanization in early Islamic cities. The data recovered from Ayla is an important step toward the delineation of this history.
An Inscription
One of the additional projects undertaken this season involved providing assistance to the Department of Antiquities in restoring the Egyptian gateway, which entailed finishing the excavations by "opening" the gate and restoring the original arches and vaulting. Fortunately, the Aqaba inspectorate has assembled a talented and experienced restoration team for such projects. Among the rubble filling the gate was a missing piece of the Ayat al-Kursi inscription (Qur'an 2: 255). Other fragments of this monumental inscription, carved in limestone, were found tumbled in the debris in front of the Egyptian Gate (fig. 5). The block found this year includes the phrase which reads "wa ma khalfahum wa la yuhituna bishay " (and what is behind them, and they comprehend nothing …). This block adds important evidence for the history of the city and for Arabic paleography. The original inscription would date to the Umayyad period, soon after foundation of Ayla. However, inconsistencies in letter formation indicate recarving of some of the stones, presumably in the Abbasid period. The new stone shows a surface fracture, probably resulting from wall movement during the 748 earthquake. The first word has been recarved using a slightly different monumental script and illustrates calligraphic changes in the early Abbasid period. Clearly, detailed study of this inscription is warranted in future seasons.
The 1995 season of excavations were made possible through the support and sponsorship of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, the Oriental Institute, and the Max Van Berchem Foundation. Generous assistance was provided by Dr. Ghazi Bisheh and Mrs. Sawsan al-Fakhry of the Department of Antiquities and by Dr. Fayiz al-Khasawnah and Mr. Muzahem al-Muheisen of the Aqaba Region Authority. The staff of the excavations was a talented group of specialists and students from universities in Jordan, Palestine, France, as well as Chicago; to this team belongs the credit for the success of this season at Ayla.

Bad customer service. Bought Kirby generic sweeper bags and wouldnt fit g-5 sweeper. Tried to return and was told to bad.Stay away from these people.
Worst Place Ever – I have never written a review, I signed up only to write a review about Carmen's.
My wife and I went in to see if we could get our Dyson fixed. As soon as we asked about it they started trying to sell us an $800.00 vacuum, obviously we were not going to buy an $800 vacuum, so the sales pitches started. The tyoical used car salesman lines started coming out, " My boss is going to puke", or " we have one in gold that was last years model we could knock money off for ya".
It became very apparent that they were not going to fix our Dyson so we decided to order a new filter for our old vacuum and figure out the Dyson later. I did not have the model number on our old vacuum so I took a shot with the filter. I asked the guy working if I could bring it back if it was not the right one, "No problem".
It was not the right one so I stopped back in, NO CASH REFUNDS. You have to exchange the filter, but they do not carry the filter I need. I have "ordered" the filter 5 times and still have nothing and every time I order the filter they have nothing on record and I have to give them the same information over again.
To make things even worse the last time I was in, I told them how much I paid for the filter originally and the guy working sais I got robbed, and he was the one that sold it to me. He had nothing to say when I told him that.
Go somewhere else!!!
Absolutely Wonderful! – Great service, very helpful.
Often times people want to just throw out their broken appliances, but I hate doing that. I was glad they didn't encourage me to do so.
Carmen's told me what was wrong with my vacuum, and then fixed it for me in less than 5 minutes! They even shared what I should look for in the future to optimize the lifespan of my vacuum. No upselling, which was a huge relief!
Worth it – At first I wasn't sure about a specialty store. Service has always been good, helpful staff. I've only purchased once but prices and service were fair and my vacuum has taken a beating- I've been able to order parts for my steam cleaner. I would buy there again.

Art History and Biography
2002 - 2003
In these workshops, scholars considered the status of biography in art history today. Surveying an artist's work and relating it to his or her life history has been criticized for relying on false assumptions about unities of period, life, and work. Even the very possibility of a coherent "subject" for biography has been questioned. Critics have emphasized that biography is a genre, conforming to rhetorical conventions and historically specific traditions of use. A generation of sustained critique has weakened biography's authority, but it is by no means certain that a wholesale jettisoning of biographical method would not entail significant losses for art historical research.
Participants included Marc Gotlieb (University of Toronto and Clark Fellow), James Herbert (University of California, Irvine, and Clark Fellow), Rosalind Krauss (Columbia University), Kathleen Nicholson (University of Oregon and Getty Scholar), Adrian Rifkin (Middlesex University), Debora Silverman (University of California, Los Angeles, and Getty Scholar), Paul Smith (University of Bristol and Getty Scholar), Sally Stein (University of California, Irvine, and Getty Scholar), and Ceclie Whiting (University of California, Los Angeles, and Clark Fellow).

Here we take the elements of a vegetarian lasagna filling—ricotta, spinach and Parmesan cheese—and nestle them into roasted portobello mushroom caps. The recipe works best with very large portobello caps; if you can only find smaller ones, buy one or two extra and divide the filling among all the caps. Serve with a tossed salad and a whole-wheat dinner roll or spaghetti tossed with marinara sauce.
