Beyond the Three Weeks
The month of Av brings with it forgiveness similar to the experience of Yom Kippur.
Reprinted with permission from The Jewish Holidays: A Guide and Commentary (HarperCollins Publishers Inc.).
At first glance, this part of the festival cycle seems out of step with the cycle of our personal lives. For most of us, summer is a time of ease and enjoyment of the outdoors. The natural cycle is marked by the continued growth of spring plantings. But our history, with its mythic dimensions, forcefully reminds us that there can be another kind of summer, one whose heat is a consuming furnace rather than beneficent warmth.
Anyone who has spent a summer in Israel can more easily understand how the Three Weeks is in fact in consonance with the natural cycle. There the afternoon sun seems to bleach all the color from the landscape. Movement slows or comes to a halt in the afternoon--for even if the sun is no hotter than in the United States, it seems to beat down unrelentingly on the land's inhabitants.
One can easily become parched and debilitated just from spending a few hours outdoors. No longer are the prevalent colors the greens of spring that decorated the synagogue on Shavuot; rather, the colors are a blazing white of sun on stone and the contrasting deep blacks of shade. Thus in Israel it is easy to call up images of a burning temple and a desolate land.
The 17th of Tammuz & the Golden Calf
This aura of desolation reflects the fall from the heady moments of Egypt and Sinai. No sooner is the unique experience of the revelation at Sinai over [on the holiday of Shavuot] than Moses and God disappear for 40 days. Feeling lost, the people turn to a golden calf (on the 17th of Tammuz). [The sin of the golden calf is ascribed by tradition, if not historical scholars, to the 17th of Tammuz.]
The air is filled with a sense of loss and abandonment: the people abandoned by God, God abandoned by His people, each longing for the other, each eager to renew the covenant of Shavuot, the trust of that night of the Exodus when we faithfully went off into the desert with only God to sustain us. No rain, no sustenance, no wave offerings, no joy. Illusions or ideals seem to have melted under the fiery rays, of the summer sun with no sheltering wings to protect us.
Tisha B'Av [the ninth of Av]erases the last innocence and brings home the difficulty of living by the covenant, for the covenant means being chosen for strife, anger, and even destruction and persecution, as well as love. No longer a mountain suspended over our heads (as at Sinai), nor as yet a sukkah of our own construction, we cringe in the heat of the day, and even find solace in the blackness of three long weeks of night and nightmare. We sit as mourners on Tisha B'Av, first remembering and then bewailing what could have been.

In 2011 Unitil embarked on one of the largest, most aggressive capital improvement projects in Company history: the replacement and/or upgrading of over 100 miles of natural gas pipeline throughout Portland and Westbrook, Maine. The pipeline replacement project will modernize the gas system Unitil inherited from Northern Utilities and allow the system to meet the growing demand for natural gas in Maine.
The project includes 68.5 miles of cast iron and/or steel pipe replacement and 36 miles of pressure upgrades for existing low-pressure plastic pipe. By replacing older cast iron pipes with state-of-the-art plastics, the system will be able to operate at a higher pressure reliably, assuring Unitil will be able to grow its business throughout coastal Maine. As an added benefit, the replacement project gives Unitil the opportunity to make its system safer and to replace aging pipes before they become a concern. We will also use the opportunity to install additional automated shut-offs to 10,000 of our customers in the greater Portland area in order to help keep homeowners safe in the event of a widespread gas outage.
Are you doing this replacement because the current cast-iron pipeline is unsafe?
No. We are doing this project to modernize the system and allow it to grow so it can continue to meet demand in the area. An added benefit to this project, however, is we will be able to replace some of the older portions of the distribution system before they have the potential to become a serious safety concern.
As a customer, what are the benefits to me?
A modern system ready for the 21st century. By giving the infrastructure an upgrade to new materials, we will be able to improve the reliability of the system in a number of ways, including improved protection from third party damage, the number one cause of leaks. We will also be installing new shut-off valves as part of the plan; In the event of an expected pressure change in the line, these valves will help protect customers even further.
Why will it take 14 years?
Pipeline replacement is a complex, labor-intensive endeavor. It is not uncommon for smaller projects than what is proposed for Portland to take significantly longer than 14 years. The plan approved by the Maine Public Utilities Commission will be the largest of its kind in the northeast, and we are confident we will be able to get the project done in the time we've allotted.
When are you going to conduct replacement on my street or in my neighborhood?
We will keep our customers informed through a website dedicated to the project and direct communication with customers as they are impacted. We encourage you to visit www.ngupgrade.com for construction updates, traffic advisories, news and other project information.

On Wednesday, the Regional Gang Unit arrested a 17-year-old juvenile believed to be responsible for the shooting of a 22-year-old Reno resident. The shooting occurred during a fight that spilled into the street at 7885 Monterey Shores Drive in Stead. The victim has been treated for a serious but non-life-threatening injury at a local hospital. The suspect was booked into the Jan Evans Detention Center on charges of battery with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm into a structure, discharging a firearm endangering others and child endangerment.
Gang unit detectives are continuing their investigation and encourage anyone with pertinent information regarding this case to contact them at 334-3852 or remain anonymous by calling Secret Witness at 322-4900.

Incoming Students
The top 10% of incoming freshmen are invited to apply to USD's Honors Program. These students achieve the highest high school grade point averages and scholastic aptitude test scores upon entering USD. Honors applicants are expected to have an active interest in their own education and an appreciation for academic challenges.
In evaluating the records of high-school seniors, the office of admissions and the Director of the Honors Program seek to choose those students who have the ability and motivation to achieve in the Program. Attention is paid to those who will most benefit from the Honors curriculum. Involvement in community, school, and leadership activities, and evidence of a sustained desire to do excellent academic work are the most important indicators of a potential Honors student's ability to succeed in the Program. The above are used as guidelines, not absolute criteria in selection of Honors students. Each applicant is reviewed to recognize individual strengths.
Mid-Year Admissions
Freshmen who do not enter the program in the fall semester can apply for mid-year admission to the Honors Program. The most important criteria for admission will be the student's academic record at USD. Students will generally not be admitted to the program after their freshman year, unless satisfactory arrangements can be made to insure that they will be able to complete the Honors curriculum by May of their senior year. For more information on mid-year admission requirements, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Honors Program require extra classes?
Normally the 25 units taken in the Honors curriculum fit into a student's core curriculum program, and in some instances, one's major. Therefore, Honors classes are not like "extra" classes at all. Further, the Program is open to students from all majors.
Will being in the Honors Program hurt my grade point average?
Most students do at least as well in their Honors courses as in their regular classes, and they find many of the Honors courses among the best they have taken at USD.
Do Honors students live in a separate dormitory?
Honors freshmen have the opportunity to live in the Honors Living-Learning Community. For additional information, please view USD Living-Learning Communities
Does the Honors Program offer special financial aid?
At this time, we are unable to offer special financial assistance for Honors students, but we do find that many Honors students qualify for academic scholarships.
How will the Honors Program benefit me?
Most Honors students are looking for a challenging curriculum that will prepare them for graduate and professional programs. Faculty teaching in USD's Honors Program, among the best on campus, are in a good position to write letters of recommendation for Honors seniors when they apply for these programs. Further, the Honors Program publishes the best work of its seniors, a distinction that contributes mightily to a solid resume.

Home> St Nicholas' Church
St Nicholas' Church.
St Nicholas' Church shortly after consecration.
Built in 1895, the church is listed as being of 'special historical interest'. Its architecture is recognised to be a fine example of the Arts and Crafts Movement. There has been a St Nicholas' Church in the parish for over 600 years and there is some evidence that there was one before the time of the Domesday Book. The present church containings many items from the earlier churches.
The old churches
The earliest record of a church in Kelvedon Hatch is 1372, although there is reference to a priest in the parish in 1344, and Feet of Fines makes reference to an advowson in 1254 "Manor of Kelewedon with appurtenances and the advowson of the church of the same Manor."
Until the 20th century, Kelvedon Hatch was a rural parish with a sparse population. In the south of the parish was an area of common land around which were a few scattered cottages. The church was situated two miles to the north of the present church in the grounds of Kelvedon Hall.
It is possible that there was a Saxon church. The dedication to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, may have arisen from the association with the owner of Kelvedon Hall manor referred to in the Domesday Book.
There are only a few clues as to what the medieval church looked like.
In 1511 the will of the rector Rankyn Bolles wanted "to be buried under the image of St Nicholas." this was probably a medieval wall painting showing a scene from the saint's life.
Edward VI's Act of Uniformity required a inventory of churches (1553). Commissioners sent to the church listed the items held by the parson and churchwardens.
In 1638 the archdeacon made a visit and ordered changes to the interior of the church:
The Advowson (right of presenting the next incumbent) descended with the manor of Kelvedon Hall. In 1538 Kelvedon Hall was purchased by John Wright and it was to remain in the family for the next 400 years. Their right to the Advowson, however, was lost when they converted to Catholicism in the early 17th century. Other individuals were granted the Advowson.
Georgian Church
By 1750 the medieval church was "neglected by the parishioners and unfit for services". It was decided to rebuild the church at a cost of £1,681. The parish set about raising the money which included a church brief and sale of the four bells in the steeple, to be replaced by just the one.
The new church was re-opened in 1753. Built of brick in the Georgian classical style with Venetian style windows, it contained a west gallery, and a three-tiered pulpit. The last two items were removed when the church was refurbished in 1873. New pews were also installed.
The old church late 19th century
The building of the new church
By the late 19th century, the centre of the parish had shifted away from Kelvedon Hall. The village was expanding on the former common land, and the new school building was also being used for services and prayers.
In 1893 the Home Office closed the churchyard of the old church as it was full. The parishioners now had to find another burial ground. Fortunately, the Rev. Royds of Brizes donated land for a new burial ground nearer to the village, providing a church was also built there. Led by the rector, Rev. David Peregrine, the parishioners launched a fund-raising campaign to raise £2000 needed to build the new church. Donations, rummage sales, fetes and pound sales raised the required amount a large sum for a community in the depths of an agricultural depression.
Building commenced in September 1894 and the church was consecrated on 1 November 1895. Parish Magazine report on the laying of the Memorial Stone for the new church.
The builders of the church 1895
The new church under construction - 1895
The church was designed by John Newman F.R.I.B.A., who lived in the village. His design shows the late Victorian interest in the skill of the craftsman and the rejection of industrialisation. It is built of red brick, left exposed internally, and consists of chancel, nave, organ chamber, vestry and south porch. Above the porch is a small bell tower with a louvred belfry and shingled spire. The impressive hammer beam roof is exposed. The pulpit, lectern, chancel screen, gospel lights and the font cover are fine examples of wrought-iron work.
Church in 1895
The font is late 14th-century and was brought from the old church. There is a small carved face in the upper panel of the font facing east. The pews and bell are also from the old church. The bell, cast circa 1450, is inscribed 'Sancte Andree ora pro nobis' (Saint Andrew pray for us) and probably originated from another church - as yet unidentified.
The silver communion plate, consisting of a chalice and paten, was presented to the church by members of the Luther family of Great Myles's and bear the date 1674.
The window immediately behind the altar contains glass from the old church. The triple window above the altar, representing Our Lord in Glory, with St John and St Paul on either side, was given by a former rector, the Rev. William Orme, to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. On the south side of the nave, the Rev. and Mrs Orme are themselves commemorated in a window which depicts St Cecilia. On the same side, a small window in memory of George, 8th Lord Rodney, and another window to the Hon. Simon Rodney who lived at Brizes Park; opposite, is a window to the memory of his wife Sadie. Also on the north side are windows commemorating Mr and Mrs Bertram Jones, Mr John Page Fitch, Mrs Betty Jeffreys and her son David Jeffreys, and Mr Ted Fulcher.

Brass memorials to members of the Wright and Luther families are to be found on the walls. These were recovered from the old church, as were a number of gravestones now in the churchyard. On the wall to the left of the entrance door is a list of the rectors since 1372.
Meanwhile the old church fell into disuse and disrepair. The cost of keeping two churches in good condition proved too much for the parishioners. The Church Commissioners have now passed the ruins over to the Kelvedon Hall estate.

As the South Carolina Gamecocks have become a force in the SEC East, Steve Spurrier's verbal jabs have become cheaper, weaker, and more nakedly hypocritical, particularly concerning the Georgia Bulldogs.
Mark Richt and the Georgia Bulldogs have gotten more than their fair share of bad news this offseason, but are worse calamities in store for the Red and Black before the 2012 college football season begins?
Roughly 14 hours following the star running back's arrest on felony charges, Mark Richt dismissed Isaiah Crowell from the Georgia Bulldogs. What does this mean for player discipline and the 2012 college football season?
The Georgia Bulldogs enforce the SEC's toughest anti-drug policy, as a result of which several football players reportedly have been suspended for testing positive for pot. Dawg Sports asks whether marijuana use should be decriminalized.
Heading into the 2012 college football season, fans of the Georgia Bulldogs are most concerned about the depletion of the secondary. With Brandon Boykin gone and Bacarri Rambo suspended, to whom will the Bulldogs turn in the defensive backfield?
Mark Richt's Georgia Bulldogs have been in the news lately, but not for anything good. Dawg Sports attempts to set the record straight by explaining what it means to be a denizen of Bulldog Nation.
Is the stock of the Georgia Bulldogs' coaches rising, falling, or holding steady? Dawg Sports looks at Mark Richt, Todd Grantham, Mark Fox, Jay Clark, David Perno, and Andy Landers.
Meanwhile, Georgia still hasn't had a player arrested since October 11, 2010. The remojofication of Bulldog Nation continues apace. Go 'Dawgs!
The Georgia Bulldogs men's golf team has distinguished itself yet again by contributing two members of the U.S. Walker Cup team, while Uga again has been named the top mascot in college football and Greg McGarity has distinguished himself from his old boss, Jeremy Foley.
The Georgia Bulldogs' leading returning rusher, Caleb King, reportedly will be academically ineligible for the 2011 college football season. Dawg Sports assesses the gloom over Bulldog Nation in the midst of a summer storm, literally and figuratively.

Labeling of proteins with fluorescent reporter dyes is a prominent method for their characterization with respect to their structure, folding, and interaction with other proteins both in biochemical and in cellular investigations. The labeling kits presented here are designed for either site-specific labeling or non site-specific labeling employing
- exceptionally convenient and mild labeling conditions
- multi-color labeling for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies
- thoroughly selected fluorophores with high photostability suitable for a broad range of established and novel techniques
Site-specific labeling of C- and/or N-terminusUniversal method for labeling of any protein at its C-terminus and/or at its N-terminal cystein suitable for One-Pot Dual Color Labeling. C-terminal modification is based on fast and convenient oxyamine-ketone ligation. For N-terminal modification, an N-terminal cysteine undergoes a native chemical ligation with a fluorophore-thioester.
Amine and Thiol Protein LabelingUniversal method for labeling of any proteins free amino groups (N-terminus, lysines) or its thiol groups (cysteins).
Outstanding photostability and quantum yield of thoroughly selected dyes combined with straightforward labeling protocols.
Luminescent Protein LabelingUniversal method for labeling of any protein with luminescent ruthenium complexes employing exceptionally long lifetimes of luminescence (up to 1 µs) and large stokes shifts (more than 100 nm). Resulting high signal to noise ratios allow application in anisotropy studies and fluorescence lifetime imaging.
- multi-color labeling for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies

1320 Del Paso Blvd, Sacramento, CA | Directions 9581538.604569 -121.461555
Neighborhoods: Old North Sacramento, North Sacramento
So much fun! – I love line dancing but my knowledge of it pretty much ends at the electric slide. Stoney Inn will teach you how to line dance for free! Not only that, but everyone there dancing is totally chill and will gladly help you out. Drinks are reasonably priced and the cash bar by the dance floor makes them strong!
Great Prime Rib for $5 Bucks! – One of my fellow sales guys recommend this place for a good cheap meal and drinks.
Went for the $5 prime rib on Fridays, stayed for the Karaoke. Would give 5 stars, but the Karaoke machine they use is very weak.
Prime rib was very good, so was the service.
I am not a big country and western fan, but it looks like a great place to dance and meet women.
Great place for music and dancing – The Stoney Inn is a great place in a prime location. The major misconception is that the Stoney Inn, because it is on the Boulevard, is in the Heights but it is actually in the Woodlake neighborhood surrounded by Enotria, a vintage ice rink, good restaurants, and art galleries. The bar itself appears fairly small from the outside. When you walk in, you continue to think that this is a very small dive bar. But then there's the back room, it consists of a restaraunt, many tables, and a big dance floor. Depending on what night you go, you can line dance, salsa dance, west coast swing or just chill and relax with some good food, live music with bands or karaoke which happens every night at 9pm regardless of what is going on in the back. The bartenders are so friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I met the owners the first time I walked into the place and they were very accommodating and friendly. And I hear that Kevin is a very accomplished two stepper. Personally, I love singing karaoke and I am a big fan of good karaoke places. I have since been a frequent visitor the Stoney Inn on almost every night and I found out that they have four different karaoke dj's with contrasting styles. There is one guy I like in particular, I'm not sure what night he is there, but he sings country and various other styles and is very good. He also is a very nice person and makes people feel welcome. Every one of the karaoke dj's are nice, but he is especially nice and is consistently cool to me. If someone knows his name, let me know, but I think it's Gerald. The food is awesome, and recently when I was there on a Tuesday, I bought $1 tacos. They also have a weekly karaoke contest where I hear that at the end of the year you win $1000. I feel very welcome here even though I don't necessarily fit the stereotype of someone who would usually go to a "country" bar which most nights it actually isn't. I find that when I come on Monday, I can sing as much as I want because apparently this place is still the best kept secret in Sacramento. I can't dance but I have been learning from the coolest dancing instructor on Friday nights. She is so nice and is a good instructor. I feel so comfortable and safe every time I go here and not only would I say this is the best bar I've been to in Sacramento, but out of everywhere I've lived, this is the best bar I've been to in the country. Get out here, people. This place rocks and not many people know this.
WON'T BE COMING BACK! HORRIBLE BARTENDERS! – I used to come to stoney inn ALL THE TIME! I started coming back in the last few months, and it had been great. Until recently a few times I was treated very disrespectfully! There is a female blond bartender that was working the front bar one night I was there.. She was VERY RUDE, ON HER CELL PHONE! IGNORED ME FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES, THE WHEN SHE FINALLY GOT MY DRINK ORDER SHE ACTED AS IF I WAS AN INCONVENIENCE! She wasn't even busy! she only had a couple customers! Then I asked if her manager knows how she treats his customers, and she went on to tell me "That jack-as* doesn't have anything to do with how I run MY bar" I wonder if he would appreciate that?! My friends and I were shocked at the non-professional way she acted behind the bar! We left and went to the "back bar" We weren't treated much different there! the brown haired young girl that was bartending was VERY RUDE! she was too busy letting guys oogle over her to get us girls a drink! after I had ordered she even served a man that had come up after us first!... maybe if I would have slipped her a 5 in her back pocket and told her how cute she was, I would have gotten a drink in a timely fashion too! we let this go and give Good Old Stoney another chance.... and sure enough... the blond gal was at the front again.... she must not have been a bartender for very long, her attitude and knowledge of drinks were equally Horrible! My friends and I wanted very badly to make Stoney a place for us to frequent again... But after seeing the type of rude and frankly terrible bartenders they've been having behind the bar.... I dont think thats going to happen... I can only hope if we find ourselves in there again we WON'T SEE EITHER OF THOSE TWO GIRLS AGAIN!
Best place to sit back,enjoy yourself and meet new people – I found that if you want a place where you can feel safe and still have a good time you must go to the Stoney Inn. The owners are two brothers Greg and Kevin who are friendly and inviting. The front DJ Bryan with a Y is up beat and boy can he let out the singer in anyone when he bust out the Kareoke. Melissa is a great Bartender who makes a Margarita to die for. Not to mention the Country line dancing is a hoot to watch and if you ever feel like taking lessons you should come right on over. Oare in the door you are madeike Family and that is why I will continue to support my local HOT spot
Great place to watch country line dancing AND haved a good meal. – I'm somewhat new to the area and no longer have a significant other. I was looking for a place to spend time and enjoy myself without feeling or looking uncomfortable.
I was so at ease at this place that It will be a regular visit for me. The staff was very friendly down to the male and female bartenders, the management to even the cook. The management actively mingles with the patrons.
By the way the food was incredible!! I had a salmon dinner and it was awsome!! This is not bar or club food. I would go to this place just for dinner. After 12 midnight they even serve free food, go figure.
I hope you enjoy this place like i did and will.
I learned to Swing dance! – Wow. All I can say is that I felt totally comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. Inside The Stoney Inn is alive with chatter and laughter. Damn good drinks, hell I even took part in the Swing dancing lessons. If you don't go for the dancing, go for the burgers. (Or, at least a good stiff one at the bar.)
Relaxed atmosphere, stiff drinks, and there's usually a hottie at the bar just waiting to catch your eye. – The Scene
No longer nicknamed "Stoner Inn" as it was in the '70s, the Stoney now boasts an eclectic array of local bands, heavy on blues and lighter on the alt-rock, from Thursday through Sunday, when local legends the Beer Dawgs jam as the house band to end the weekend right. Customers range in age from teens (allowed while food is served) to people in their 60s, with most falling in the middle-aged range. Bikers are definitely welcome (the Fryed Bros. played here), but retirees and state workers belly up to the bar next to those leather chaps and jackets. You can even smoke out on the enclosed patio with your drink in hand and the band playing in front of youa rare find here in California. Pool tournaments and dart league games round out the entertainment in this large, neighborhood-oriented bar.
The Food
Fill up on burgers or chicken Thursday through Sunday, or show up early to take advantage of happy-hour specials and complimentary munchies.
This place is totaly yummy! not only is the food great, but the atmosphere is even yummier. I just love this place. I think everyone should vist just once!

BGE and Its Employees Thankful to Give Back in the Spirit of Thanksgiving
Employees donate canned and baked goods, Thanksgiving meals, volunteer time and skills to communities and families across central Maryland
BALTIMORE (Nov. 27, 2013) – Thanksgiving is the time for both thanks and giving, and nearly 100 Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE)employees have embraced the true spirit of Thanksgiving this holiday season. Over the past few weeks, employees have gathered at several events to support multiple nonprofit organizations and to give back to communities throughout central Maryland.
With more than 20 company-sponsored events over the past several weeks, employees gathered to donate canned and baked goods and prepare and deliver Thanksgiving meals to hundreds of families throughout BGE's service area. In addition to monetary support to many nonprofits who will be delivering and providing Thanksgiving meals to needy families, BGE employees volunteered with the Bea Gaddy Foundation, Maryland Food Bank, Moveable Feast, Our Daily Bread and United Way in support of its healthy food initiative, to name a few.
"BGE and its employees have a long-standing history of giving back to the communities in which our employees live and work, through both charitable giving and volunteerism," said Calvin G. Butler Jr., senior vice president of regulatory and external affairs for BGE. "To date, BGE has contributed nearly $3 million to more than 200 nonprofit organizations throughout our service area, and our employees have donated more than 18,000 volunteer hours to various organizations this year alone."
Providing meals to hungry families at Thanksgiving is not new to BGE. In 1997, BGE employee John Price, supervisor of plant operations, started a tradition of delivering Thanksgiving meals to families in Baltimore City. Price formed a volunteer committee at BGE's Spring Gardens facility, located in south Baltimore, and for the past 16 years the committee has organized an annual year-long fundraising effort that culminates in the delivery of Thanksgiving meals to families in need in south Baltimore City. This year, BGE employees will deliver 60 Thanksgiving meals to families in need. The Moveable Feast, a Baltimore-based provider of healthy food to low-income residents, and SHARE, a nonprofit organization that works to build healthier, stronger communities through volunteerism and access to wholesome foods, help support this initiative.
Jackie Heaney, a gas supply coordinator for BGE, has led the fundraising efforts for the BGE Spring Gardens facility's volunteer committee for more than 10 years. Throughout the year, the committee hosted a number of events to raise money to pay for the dinners, including a Battle of the Bands competition in the spring and a car and motorcycle show in June.
"The reason I do this is simple: helping others matters," said Heaney. "The fundraising, organizing and delivery of these Thanksgiving meals is about showing these families in need that someone cares about them. The volunteer committee from BGE's south Baltimore facility knows the importance of giving back to the community, right here in our backyard. BGE has a long-standing commitment of supporting the communities in which our employees live and work, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to support our local community this holiday season."
Looking for a way to give back during this year's holiday season? The season of giving is the perfect time for those who have the means to share the warmth with those in need and to help make the holidays brighter for those families throughout central Maryland who may be financially challenged.
In December, BGE and the Fuel Fund of Maryland will kick off BGE's annual giving campaign through bge.com and via postage-paid envelopes enclosed in customers' bills. This annual, customer-funded effort makes energy assistance available to limited income customers who apply for assistance from the Fuel Fund of Maryland, after exhausting other resources. Additionally, customers who receive their bills electronically will be provided with a link to the Fuel Fund website to donate in the December issue of BGE's eConnections electronic newsletter.
Individuals may also consider helping a specific customer with their BGE bill by donating through the Gift of Energy program. Using a special form available on bge.com, customers are able to make donations of any amount to the accounts of specific customers. Donations will apply on a future bill as a credit to the recipients' BGE account. The recipient will be notified that they have received a gift credit. The donors may also notify the recipients or remain anonymous. The Gift of Energy recipient can be any BGE customer and does not have to qualify for energy assistance or any special programs. The Gift of Energy form can be found on bge.com and includes instructions on where to mail the special form and payment. Customers can also place aGift of Energy order by calling BGE at 888.232.0088 (there is a $2.00 processing fee for this service, and you must have the gift recipient's BGE account number).
Through BGE's Dollar Donation Fund, customers are able to designate a modest donation to the Fuel Fund and have it added to their BGE bill each month. When a monthly bill is paid in full, BGE will forward the contribution directly to the Fuel Fund. These donations are all tax-deductible and the Fuel Fund will send customers a summary of their donations for their records after the end of the year. Customers may stay enrolled for as long as they wish, change their donation amount or withdraw from the program at any time. To participate in the Dollar Donation Fund visit bge.com to complete a simple form, or call BGE at 800.685.0123.

%982%right%When Llewellyn Price '85 and his brother and mother bought a Québec City bed-and-breakfast, they suspected they were buying a piece of 18th-century history. They didn't know they were buying more than 5,000 pieces.
Price is co-owner of the Auberge Saint-Antoine, a chic boutique hotel that has taken on the aura of the history that had been hidden within. An expansion of the original inn, the hotel was an ambitious project that required extensive excavation of what had been an 17th-century wharf. The more than 5,000 artifacts unearthed include cannon, stoneware, and other household items. "We are sitting on top of one of the richest archaeological sites in North America," Price said.
The original boutique hotel had opened in 1992. A $16-million expansion in 2001 turned it into a much larger full-service hotel, with the rich history of the site embedded (sometimes literally) into the décor. Artifacts are displayed in each of the nearly 100 rooms, and there is even a cannon on exhibit.
The hotel has become a resounding success but the permitting process was difficult. "And frankly, it should be," Price said. "You're building in a culturally sensitive area. We wanted this place to be different and to integrate as much of the historical heritage as possible."
That history goes back four centuries, as evidenced by nearby historic sites such as the Place Royale, the headquarters of Samuel de Champlain. Price's own family goes back some 200 years in Québec City. Among his ancestors is one of Québec's first lumber barons, the builder (later knighted by the British Empire) of what was in 1912 the largest pulp and paper mill in the world. Price House, the one-time headquarters of the family's paper interests, is a Québec City landmark that now serves as the official residence of the the province's premier.
Though his roots in Québec are deep, Price spent most of his childhood in Africa and Europe, where his father, a Canadian foreign service officer, was assigned. Price returned to Québec for his last two years of high school and then decided to head south for college.
"My sister went to college at Johns Hopkins," he said. "And she suggested that I look into going to school somewhere in the States. So, since Colby was only three and a half hours away, I went down and basically knocked on the door [of Colby's admissions office].
"I wasn't prepared at all to meet with them. Yet somehow they looked at the whole picture of me, and I was accepted to Colby."
Once enrolled, Price decided to challenge himself by majoring in English literature, not his strength. "It was very different for me since I wasn't a natural reader. What a higher education like the one I got at Colby brings you is not so much what you learn on topics such as Shakespeare, but how to think, analyze, and work through a problem," he said.
After graduating, Price tried different jobs. He toiled in a French vineyard in Burgundy, worked in commercial real estate in Atlanta, and then earned an M.B.A. at the IESE Business School in Barcelona. "That's when I realized I liked business," he said.
After jointly buying the original 20-room St. Antoine with his brother and mother in 1990, he soon began to refurbish the tired property in what was then an unsightly but potential-filled part of old Québec City. "Initially the idea was to fix it up and flip it for a profit," Price said. As renovations got underway, a new vision for a hotel began to emerge. But building anew in such an archeologically sensitive place would prove to be a painstaking venture.
Price prevailed, and the Auberge Saint-Antoine now combines features like a high-end restaurant and a movie theater with all of that early Québec history. After managing the operation for a decade, Price stepped down but remains a co-owner and board member. That has left him more time for road biking and salmon fishing,and mulling what his next project might be.

Excellent Food and Atmosphere – My family and I have been to Kobe several times and never had a serious problem. Once the service was slow, but it was a busy night. The chicken and filet mignon are both excellent in my opinion, and my fiancee loves their hibachi shrimp and scallops. Even my picky 7-yr old loved her chicken, and she usually does NOT do "ethnic" food. I should have prefaced this by saying that we have never attempted to eat her on a Friday/Saturday night or holiday. I have worked in restaurants and Hello! - you WILL wait a long time to be seated with the potential (due to their unique seating arrangements) for mishaps with huge groups! To my knowledge, they no longer take reservations, probably due to the issues mentioned by previous reviewers. My advice, should you have a large group (10+) would be to have someone go ahead of you and put your name in... or to avoid traditionally busy nights. This, to me anyway, is just common sense. I have had their sushi twice, which was fresh and delicious both times. I found that the more we communicated with and were friendly to our chef, the larger and more flavorful our portions. Alcohol is pricey, but the drinks have never been weak, when we felt inclined to order them at all. It is unfortunate that others have had problems at Kobe, but I cannot say my experiences there have ever been negative. Five stars all the way.
Never Again Will We Go To Kobe – Was there NY Eve 12/31/2008. Over an hour wait past our reserved time. Lot's of people, busy night, well understood....but the bar staff had 3 people....only 3 on a busy night like that? Greatly understaffed and unable to meet everyone's needs adequately. We were lucky to get one drink much less a second.
Our party of 18 was split between the table halves. One half was almost done eating before the other half's chef even showed up. When the first half was done eating, they were asked to leave as the restaurant needed to seat other people. This was a part of our group who had come to eat together, now 1/2 of us had to leave and those who did not leave stood behind us while the rest of us ate. No chairs offered or were available.
Food was so-so at best. Calamari tasteless and bland, soup tasted like water with a couple of mushroom's floating in it. Lobster was overcooked and tough. Filet Mignon was excellent (a high point of the entire evening). Small portions of veggies for all, not very tastey either.
Upon our nice complaint of having some of our party moved out, all we got was an apology and so sorry, busy night, nothing we can do......what is up with that? Poor planning on their part for a busy night, poor service overall, although our server was doing whatever he could to keep up. Drink orders took forever (see bar staff above), so many of us gave up or went to the bar ourselves which wasn't any better (see bar staff above).
Not at all worth the $150 plus spent for 2 adults and one kid. Worst part was watching part of our party have to leave because they needed the seats. Look at other reviews on other sites, you will see our review is not too far from many of the other ones.
Will never recommend anyone go there. Stay away and get a better meal with better service somewhere else.
Worst Service of my life! But food was good. – Visited Sunday evening. Wasn't busy. Two servers on staff with no support from Hostess or Manager (Ken). Server (Tracy) was totally unorganized. Had to cancel two appetizers because main meal was half eaten. I had to get up from my table to find the server and ask her to serve my wife's meal (I had half finished my tapanyaki, she had yet to see her sushi platter). Complained twice to server who proceeded to defend herself for +/- two minutes!! What do I care about reasons? We're paying for a meal! Other tables waited 25 minutes to be asked if they want water, which came 20 more minutes later. Another table walked out due to slow (aka "non-existant") service. The Tapanaki experience was enjoyable and the food was good but after deplorable service, it's couldn't mask the bad taste in our mouths. Oh yeah, then bills were delivered to everyone at our table except ours because "the computer was down". So we had to wait an extra 15 minutes (while vaccuuming was going on around our table - its only 8:30pm??!!) for the priviledge of being billed for this gastronomic trainwreck. Complained to Manager on the way out and the waitress came back for another argument!! What nerve!
It was the worst sushi I've ever had and the manager was rude and unwilling to hear any complaints – Kobe appeared to be a warm and inviting place the staff was quick to seat us. When the sushi came out it was visually appealing but not a single item tasted good. I've dined on sushi in numerous states and know good sushi and this was absolutely terrible. Aside from the rice being to sticky and dense the fish was chewy and lacking in taste. When we complained to the manager he never asked how to fix the problem and told us that we didn't know good sushi, he simply took it away and dumped it and then still charged full price even though we didn't even eat half of what was presented to us. So if you like old tasting fish and sticky rice and a rude and out of line manger by all means check it out. If you want to be treated with respect and honesty and have good sushi avoid this place.

No one in the wide, wide world of college football has played four straight overtime games, although Georgia Southern once played four in the same season.
JSU coach Bill Clark wouldn't be surprised if it happened when the Gamecocks play their first Ohio Valley Conference road game of the season Saturday at No. 22 UT Martin.
"I think it could easily come down again to the last seconds," Clark said Monday. "We're going to go at it like that — that it's going to be a fight to the finish."
The Gamecocks' last two games with the Skyhawks — and four of the last six — certainly have, even though last year's game didn't start out that way.
Martin quarterback Derek Carr threw four of his seven touchdown passes in the first quarter and staked the Skyhawks to a 28-7 lead. But the Gamecocks rallied and it only was Jacksonville State failing on a 2-point conversion with 41 seconds left that secured a 49-47 win.
The year before, in the season opener, Calvin Middleton's 4-yard run with 38 seconds left capped a 14-point fourth-quarter rally that gave the Gamecocks a 24-23 win. In 2007 it was Cedric Johnson's 8-yard pass to Taurean Rhett with 1:46 left that produced a 27-24 victory. And in 2008, Martin won 31-30 on a sloppy night in front of ESPNU cameras.
"I hope we do our part," Clark said. "I know they're going to battle us and, knowing our guys, we're going to battle them."
The Gamecocks (4-1, 0-1 OVC) matched Penn's 2006 FCS record with three straight overtime games in their 35-34 loss to Murray State last week. They could tie Georgia Southern's 2008 FCS season record if they get into another one this year. They hadn't played more than two in any season since the NCAA established a tiebreaker system in 1995.
Penn went extra time with Yale, Brown and Princeton. Georgia Southern did it with Northeastern, Wofford, Western Carolina and The Citadel. Penn lost all three. Georgia Southern went 3-1.
The Gamecocks beat Division II North Alabama and FBS Georgia State before losing on a 2-point conversion by Murray State last week.
"I don't want three overtime games, but they've won two of them," UT Martin coach Jason Simpson said during his weekly news conference Monday. "That's some pressure situations they've been able to put their players in. They've won two of the three and just kind of a fluke thing got them this week or they'd have been three-for-three. That's an opportunity to grow with a team.
"That's almost three more quarters of football, but it's also early in the season so they're probably OK with it."
Overtime or not, the game takes on a playoff air for the Gamecocks. The Skyhawks (3-1, 1-0) are playing like an early contender for the OVC title, and the Gamecocks, with one league loss already, likely can't afford another setback and stay in the race.
The Gamecocks used to rule the series, going back to their Division II days together, but since former JSU assistant Simpson took over the UTM program in 2006, they hold only a 4-3 lead. Only one of those games has been decided by more than 10 points and that was a 52-7 JSU rout in 2009.
"If you asked me before the season who I thought would be one of the contenders for the title and the teams we'd have to go through to win it, it'd be UT Martin," Clark said. "I think that speaks to their program, what they've done to this point ... and where they've come from. The thing we know going into this game is it's going to be a tough game."

To The Editor:
We feel compelled to comment on your recent article about H-1B visas ("Black professionals assail visa increases," May 16). While the piece addresses an important and developing issue, it misses the point in important aspects. In the first place, corporations only go through the time and expense of using temporary foreign professionals after they cannot attract American workers. Secondly, corporations already contribute billions of dollars a year for education, much of it aimed at attracting minority students to careers in math and science.
Why do companies employ temporary foreign professionals under the H-1B program? The primary reasons are severe worker shortages affecting all sectors of our economy, and the demand to fill special needs. The unemployment rate is at a 30-year low, and there aren't enough workers in the pipeline. As result of these factors, H-1B workers do not depress wages. In fact, for much of the past two years, the Federal Reserve Board and the Bureau of Labor Statistics have found that wages and benefits for high-tech workers have been increasing.
In an attempt to attract more people into the high-tech workforce, American businesses spend approximately $112 billion a year on retraining American workers and educating American students for careers in the math and sciences. Much of the education money is targeted to schools in predominantly minority districts.
Many local school districts also use H-1B visas to recruit teachers in such specialty areas as math and science. While there are no statistics on where those educators are assigned, anecdotal evidence suggests many of them wind up teaching African-American, Latino and Native American students - the very group the Coalition for Fair Employment in Silicon Valley is trying to help.
Ironically, the very bill before Congress opposed by the Coalition (H.R. 3983) is the only H-1B measure which provides substantial funding for retraining American workers and educating American students, with the bulk of the money going toward attracting low-income and disadvantaged young people.
The important national dialogue over immigration would have been enhanced had your recent article mentioned those facts.
Steven A. Clark

Most organizations rely heavily on background (batch) processing to support their existing legacy applications. In fact, over 50% of all application processing still occurs in operations using background processing. This dependency on background processing still remains when your applications move to a SOA (serviced oriented architecture).
Read this white paper to learn how to bridge the gap between SOA applications and legacy applications by allowing for the inclusion of background processes into the SOA business process. Learn how to support the time, calendar and events initiation that SOA processing requires with an automation engine.

(April 25, 2012) On May 30th I'll take part in my 13th consecutive and 17th overall National Soccer Hall of Fall Induction. The ceremony will take place prior to the U.S. Men's international friendly match vs. Brazil at FedEx Field in suburban Washington, D.C. It's exciting to have the combination of ceremony and match as it provides an opportunity to introduce the new and the returning Hall of Famers to the fans in attendance. If this is like past Brazil matches, it will be a huge crowd! What could be a more eloquent venue to honor the contributions of all Hall of Famers?!!?
As has often happened in the past, this year's class includes a builder, two players, and a veteran player. The builder is Tony DiCicco. He coached the U.S. Women's National Team to the 1999 triumph at the FIFA Women's World Cup and the 1996 Olympic Gold Medal.
Veteran Player Desmond Armstrong was a defender for the 1990 U.S. World Cup team. He played in all three matches of the 1990 FIFA World Cup, the first World Cup tournament for the U.S. since the fabled 1950 tournament.
Players Tony Meola and Claudio Reyna both have long and storied histories on the international stage along with successes in professional leagues. Tony was the goalkeeper with the 1990 squad and the backstop in the 1989 victory against Trinidad and Tobago that qualified the U.S. for the World Cup. Claudio captained the United States to World Cup success in 2002.
I am proud of the election and induction processes that I was a part of creating at the National Soccer Hall of Fame. It is one of the great privileges and honors of my life to continue my participation in these events.
Jack Huckel, Founder & Principal of J.R. Huckel & Associates, offers election and induction consulting services to Halls of Fame. Jack served the National Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum as Director of Museum and Archives for 9-1/2 years after more than 10 years as a volunteer. More information is available at the firm's web site. He can be reached at email@example.com or 518/852-3033.
Jack is a member of the International Sports Heritage Association, who's 2012 Annual Conference will take place at the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum in Newport, RI from October 24 to 26. He is also a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Board of Directors' Executive Committee. He will become president of the NSCAA in January of 2013.

text: I am also a gun owner but not in america. The biggest problem with american gun laws is the ease at which you can obtain a firearm. It is significantly harder to arm yourself in my country but so long as you are sane and have the right storage security its relatively straight forward process which takes a bit of time, a few police interviews and a training course. We still have firearms crime and violent offences but the majority of those crimes occur with stolen guns anyway and a few and far between. The reality is if criminals cannot obtain guns they simply use whatever other weapons they can get. We are also one of the few nations in the world where our police are not armed for regular police work. Taking away all firearms is not the solution, just tighter control on access to weapons.

The 8-MP Pentax Optio A10 won't win any beauty contests, but it will barely cause a bulge in your pocket.
Functionality comes first, and this super-slim shooter takes great-looking photos. Colors look accurate and images overall are crisp with good saturation. We only wish that shooting with the Optio A10 was a bit faster; there is a noticeable lag between frames.
Overall, the Optio A10 gets the job done. It might not have the coolest design or as many features as other point and shoots, but its photos are impressive-and that's what matters.

YAGF is a graphical frontend for the cuneiform and tesseract OCR tools. It lets you open already scanned image files or obtain new images via XSane (scanning results are automatically passed to YAGF). Once you have a scanned image you can prepare it for recognition, select particular image areas for recognition, set the recognition language and so on. Recognized text is displayed in an editor window where it can be spell-checked, corrected, saved to disk, or copied to clipboard. YAGF also provides some facilities for a multi-page recognition.
Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one or more clients can attach to and detach from a central core, much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, it aims to be a comfortable chatting program.
Wally is a Qt4 wallpaper changer using multiple sources like files, folders, FTP remote folders, Flickr, Yahoo!, Panoramio, Ipernity, Photobucket, Buzznet, Picasa, Smugmug, Google, Vladstudio, and deviantART images. It is available in many languages. Supported Linux window managers are GNOME, GnomeShell, KDE3, KDE4, XFCE4, BlackBox, FluxBox, Window Maker, and FVWM (experimental).
The cdcat is a graphical (Qt based) multi-platform catalog program that scans the directories/drives you want and memorizes the filesystem (including the tags of MP3s) and stores it in a small file. The database is stored in a gzipped XML format, so you can hack it, or use it if necessary. Cdcat can store the contents of some specified files up to a size limit if you want (for example: *.nfo).
HeldenViewer makes it possible to search for, download, and view Youtube videos in a very easy to use fashion. An important feature is the concept of adding authors as favorites, in order to be notified at the next start of HeldenViewer if the author has uploaded a new video. You will no longer be interrupted by any commercials. Much like the Youtube platform, you can watch the videos while downloading and use your favorite videoplayer to do this. The only restriction is that the video player must be able to play .flv files, e.g. VideoLanClient.

Facebook expands gender options for user profiles
Facebook recognizes that not everybody identifies themselves simply as a "male" or "female," so it's added the ability for users to identify themselves with a range of labels, including "other."
People can now select a custom gender identification, the pronoun they would like to be referred to publicly, and who can see their gender selection, Facebook announced Thursday. Your About page will now include options like "cisgender," "transgender," and "intersex," in addition to the previous "male" and "female" options.
