Port of Rotterdam environmental initiative
Our next initiative in reducing emissions is to take part in a feasibility study that will trial plugging into shore-side electricity supplies whilst our ships are in the port of Rotterdam, instead of continuing to power the ships by running generators on board.
The possibility of using electricity from a wind turbine in the port area at Rotterdam raises the prospect of a truly green alternative to producing our own power when in port.
It is hoped that the study, which we started in February 2007, will indicate technical practicalities of this approach, environmental benefits by way of reduced emissions, and possibly cost savings from reducing the fuel consumption of ships and the amount of maintenance our engines require.

Romney Claims I "Did Not Speak About The Palestinian Culture"
Mitt Romney's comments about the Palestinians and its ties to culture inflamed Palestinians, and how now says, "I'm not speaking about it, did not speak about the Palestinian culture. That's an interesting topic that perhaps could deserve scholarly analysis but I actually didn't address that. I certainly don't intend to address that during my campaign. Instead I will point out that the choices a society makes have a profound impact on the economy and the vitality of that society."
But Romney did invoke culture at a fundraiser during his trip when he said, "As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality." And he added, "Culture makes all the difference. And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things."
If "culture makes all the difference," it must be the difference between the two cultures of the Israelis and the Palestinians. Otherwise, what "difference" was he talking about?

Authorities say no injuries were reported after a fire broke out at a strip center in northeast Harris County early Tuesday morning.
According to firefighters, the flames spread quickly to the Taqueria and liquor store connected to the gas station located on Aldine-Bender near Ormel around 5:15 a.m.
Fire units immediately attacked the growing flames of the two-alarm fire.
"The cause of the fire was found to be electrical in nature ," said Lt. Dean Hensley with the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office.
Local 2 spoke with the owner of the strip center who said he is devastated.
Several fire departments assisted in fighting the flames, including Needham, Westfield, Porter, New Caney, Little York, Spring, Ponderosa, Eastex, Aldine and Klein.

The face is the reflection of the mind; or it can become a mirror to the ravaged earth. A schoolgirl turned her visage to highlight the planet's predicament, one hemisphere painted as parched, barren land and the other, green and vibrant.
She was part of a unique protest by students of Amrutha Vidyalaya here, in the company of environmental activists, to save the Kakkad river.
Nearly 300 people belonging to the Kakkad river protection collective got together on the banks of the river and went on a day-long fast. The students and the activists took an oath to save Nature and revive the river.
With plastic and other waste thrown into its waters, much of the river is facing peril. The proliferation of buildings along the banks and the functioning a fish market have caused extensive damage, damaging half of a once-thriving river. Garbage and effluents have destroyed it, and the effort is to breathe life into the dying river, members of the collective said. Part of the garbage was removed and the riverbed cleaned up.

Looking for a new way to help your toddler or preschooler burn off some energy before naptime? Head to the Summit Tuesdays at 10 am this fall for Preschool Play Area Parties. The Mommy Nest, Earth Fare and the Summit are sponsoring this new get together for the next four Tuesdays (Sept. 18 and 25, Oct. 2 and 9) at the new outdoor playground at the Summit.
Kids can play and make new friends, do crafts and participate in themed activities. Not only can parents catch a bit of a break while their kids are playing, they can register to win prizes and Summit gift cards. I plan to make a morning of it and take my son to lunch at one of the Summit's restaurants and probably a few laps around the track...of the train table and Barnes and Noble, that is.
The Summit is located at 4300 Summit Plaza Drive.

text: Opinion: Liberal 'Nation' Mag Freaking over 'Racist' Seminole Mascot Winning BCS Print article Send a Tip by C. Edmund Wright 8 Jan 2014 post a comment Sports offers teachable insights into the leftist mindset, and even cursory observations verify that everything is political with these folks. This is unavoidable, I suppose, when your power is derived from electoral or public relation successes of the grievance industry. Thus, we know for sure liberals could not simply enjoy Monday's BCS Title Game the way normal folks did. Having been dealt one setback after another in their quest to force the NFL's Washington Redskins to change their moniker, one of the nations leading liberal sports journalists (aren't they all?) has made it official: Florida State is now the cause du jour. Dave Zirin is the official sports writer for one of the country's kookiest publications, The Nation. I was surprised to find out that this rag required a sports writer, given that the liberal solution to sport is to not keep score. Nonetheless, a little research confirms that Zirin is actually somewhat of a rabble-rousing celeb among the sporting Marxist do-gooders. It also confirms that this is quite the little cottage industry. I guess Keith Olbermann left a void when he left the toy department for MSNBC. And 'everything being political' certainly includes Monday night's BCS Title game, about which Zirin's headline screams "The Florida State Seminoles: The Champions of Racist Mascots." But if you think Zirin's beef stops with the supposedly racist mascot, think again. He merely uses this as a launching point for a kind of deranged commie sports manifesto, hitting all the liberal hot buttons. He starts the piece in full Occupy Wall Street fashion by calling the game "the VizioDow Chemical/Blackwater/Vivid Video BCS National Championship," which left me wondering how the hell he left Halliburton and Bain Capital out of the title. But seriously, Blackwater?? Even for the politically obsessed, that's obscure. Zirin then went out of his way to describe FSU followers as "overwhelmingly Caucasian fans with feathers in their hair." There's no word whether his economic heroine, Elizabeth Warren, was among those Caucasians, let alone whether the 'Nole's fans had those classic native cheek bones or not. He then opines that "their passions were stirred into a frenzy by a white person, face smeared with war paint, dressed as the legendary chief Osceola riding out on a horse." Funny, I thought the passions were stirred by being in the title game, and perhaps some pre game lubrication, but what do I know? I'm not a liberal sports journalist. And by the way, is the guy on the horse really white? Who cares? Apparently Zirin does, calling the spectacle "mass interactive minstrelsy." Not being obsessed with the topic, I didn't even know minstrelsy was a proper form of minstrel. It is, and thus depends on the rider being white under the war paint in this context. Thank goodness the "overwhelmingly Caucasian" staffers at The Nation, not to mention the Huffington Post, are there to remind us. (Zirin also writes for HuffPo. Of course.) And it's a good thing those same Caucasians are brilliant enough to pass judgment on the Florida Seminole Tribal Council's agreement with Florida State University that endorses the use of Seminole as a mascot. Zirin complains with immense irony he fails to see that "the majority of Seminoles don't even live in Florida. They live in Oklahoma, one of the fruits of the Seminole Wars, the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears. These Oklahoma Seminoles - who, remember, are the majority - oppose the name." If I'm reading this right, the Okie Seminoles, who perhaps root for the Oklahoma Sooners, are upset about the name. Please tell me if the use of "Sooner" - who we all know were "overwhelmingly Caucausian" - is a good thing, how is the use of Seminole insulting? Moreover, it's obvious that the very existence of the conservative state of Oklahoma, a fruit of the Seminole wars, irks Zirin. Damned red state full of rednecks and white people. He's also consumed with the majority of Seminoles not having a voice on FSU's mascot, and yet remains solidly behind Obama Care. Go figure. He goes on in the interminable screed to complain about money's influence on the whole process, rants about Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali mouse pads and souvenir sales and the like, and he is generally miserable about the whole thing. Which is, of course, the natural state for liberals who are employed in the grievance industry. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the thrilling game. I'm glad Vizio sponsored it, so I could watch it. I like the Tomahawk Chop, or whatever FSU calls it - and have since seeing it firsthand in the early 80's. I thought the Auburn fans were awesome too. It's cool that the vocally Christian Tim Tebow almost predicted the score on the nose! Then again, what do I know? I'm just an overwhelmingly Caucasian conservative, too stupid to know when I should be offended.

November 28, 2014
(CNN) -- Bahrain's ambassador to France has been accused of sexually assaulting a former employee and is under investigation by prosecutors, authorities in France said Thursday.
A formal complaint against Nasser Al-Belooshi was filed Monday, said Marie-Josephine Marchal, a press officer for the prosecutor's office in the city of Nanterre.
Al-Belooshi "forcefully" denied the allegations, calling them "inaccurate and unfounded," according to the official Bahrain News Agency.
The ambassador "remains at the disposal of the French authorities to shed light on these false accusations," the news agency said Wednesday.
Tortured and tried in Bahrain French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero commented on the case Tuesday but did not name the envoy or say what country he came from.
Valero referred to news reports suggesting the ambassador's wife and son were also suspected of wrongdoing.
"To my knowledge, the ambassador and his wife are in the diplomatic list and therefore have diplomatic immunity, and the son does not," Valero said Tuesday.

Talk:104: Find You
Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
Why does the image show upside down? Erenan (talk) 12:32, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
- No idea, I tried to upload a new version that shows right-side up on my computer and it is still upside down. --Jeff (talk) 12:52, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
Could this comic refer back to 98: Fall Apart? 18.104.22.168 03:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
There is nothing in the text to indicate that the loved one is a 'she' (or a 'he' for that matter) 126.96.36.199 02:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- True, but the reason the sought after person is presumed to be a woman is because it is implied that Cueball is motivated by love and xkcd's typical depiction of romantic love is heterosexual. It is, of course, certainly possible that the person sought after is loved in a non-romantic sense, but romantic love seemed most plausible to me. This was the reason for the sentence "It is not explicitly made clear whether the loved one in question is a woman with whom he is in love, a family member, or a relation of some other kind, but presumably the loved one is either his girlfriend or wife." The use of "she" throughout the rest of the explanation was done from this perspective. That is, under the assumption that it was the most plausible explanation.

The Blog
12:00 AM, Jul 29, 1996 • By MATTHEW REES
Frahm's performance as a campaigner pales in comparison, although she won a statewide election (for lieutenant governor) in 1994. The Wichita Eagle, one of the state's biggest newspapers, describes her this way: "Envision your mother or favorite gradeschool teacher going to work in Washington, someone who is plump, pleasant, and prodding." On the stump, she's smooth, if a little bit stiff. She has personal stories to tell that ought to come in handy in campaigns; she was raised in a home without running water or electricity, and she adopted an abandoned baby 15 years ago. But like Dole, she fails to evoke her personal experiences in a way that moves voters.
Frahm's strategy is twofold: First, while blurring the ideological distinctions, she contrasts her record with Brownback's. Campaign manager Lott told me, "The issue is performance versus promises." He points out that while Frahm was lieutenant governor she helped deliver a $ 1.3 billion tax cut, while Brownback "has a record of promising many things but coming up short in delivery." Second, she's tying herself to the state's most popular elected officials: Dole and Gov. Graves, who selected her to replace Dole. One of her television ads shows her swearing in as senator and proclaims that she's "picking up where Bob Dole left off." The narrator, who calls her a " common-sense conservative" and whose image appears at the end of the ad, is Graves. In another ad, which attacks Brownback for calling her a big spender, Frahm says, "Bob Dole would never start a campaign in Kansas this way." And all three of her ads tout her fiscal conservatism. To bolster the point, she recently broke with Kassebaum and voted against raising the minimum wage.
But the latest signs from the polls are not encouraging for Frahm. An independent Oklahoma polling firm recently found Frahm, who a month ago led by 24 points, trailing by six points. (Brownback's lead is even bigger among Republicans who voted in 1992 and 1994.) One person whose involvement could help her make up the deficit is Dole, but he's staying neutral.
That's probably wise. He'd gain little from having his candidate win, but would suffer a public-relations blow if his choice were defeated on the eve of the convention. While Kansas isn't precisely representative of the nation at large, its moderate-conservative clash is, and Dole and others shouldn't downplay the significance of the outcome. A Frahm victory would embolden those calling for a kinder, gentler conservatism than the brand pushed by House Republicans.
But a Brownback triumph -- which is looking increasingly likely -- would be a reminder that those who helped thrust the GOP into the majority aren't prepared to give up their revolutionary aspirations just yet.

GALVESTON IS ONE OF GOD'S FORSAKEN PACKAGES, a place where the desperate and the disenfranchised wash ashore with every tide, so the wiry little man with the bleached peach-pit face and a fishing cap pulled over his ears looked no different from the other drifters waiting for food vouchers. The staff at the Jesse Tree, a small storefront charity on Market Street, a few blocks from the port and hard against a sprawling ghetto of shotgun houses and abandoned cotton-storage warehouses, was always ready to hear a tale of woe. Except Morris Black came not for a handout but with a proposition. He'd been surfing the Internet on a computer at the library, he explained in a high-pitched, rapid-fire voice, and he'd discovered that the same reading glasses that sold for $10 to $12 dollars at Wal-Mart could be purchased in bulk for 46 cents a pair.
"Interesting," Jesse Tree's director, Ted Hanley, told him, not sure what else to say.
Black seemed restless and impatient and repeated what he'd just said, then repeated it again, and then repeated it a third and a fourth time. Eventually he came to the point. "I need you to come up with two thousand dollars, and I'll do the rest," he said. His idea was to pass out thousands of pairs of eyeglasses to the poor and needy. He made it clear that he intended to supervise the project personally and screen prospective recipients. "This is how it will be," he said. Hanley tried to explain that although the project sounded worthy, the Jesse Tree didn't have that kind of money. Black wasn't interested in explanations. He faded back into the throng of hungry men.
Hanley saw him again two months later, in March 2001. Black was handing out free reading glasses to a group of homeless people in a food line at the First Presbyterian Church. He carried with him eight bags of eyeglasses and moved down the line, businesslike, sizing up the needs and suitability of each man. When one man who had just received a pair of glasses reached for a cigarette, Black demanded that he give the glasses back. "If you can afford cigarettes," he exploded at the man, "you can afford to buy your own glasses!"
Soon Black was delivering eyeglasses to the Jesse Tree too. Hanley had no idea how he had gotten the money to buy them. Black would show up several times a week, and his giveaways became extremely popular. Still, Hanley wondered if it was worth the price of dealing with Morris Black. "It was like Chinese water torture," Hanley told me a few months later. "No matter how busy we were, he would break in and demand that I stop everything and see him." By May Black had become disillusioned with his project, complaining that he couldn't tolerate so much contact with "freeloaders and lazy people." In July, however, he reappeared. He said he had heard that the Jesse Tree was interested in purchasing a vacant building across the street from its office. He told Hanley, somewhat mysteriously, that he knew "someone with a lot of money" who might give the Jesse Tree an interest-free loan.
A few days later Hanley made another bizarre acquaintance. A volunteer knocked on the door of his office and told him that there was a mute in the reception room, extremely agitated and demanding attention. The man was small and thin, with gray-white hair that spiked up like a punk rocker's. He wore dirty jeans and a tattered long-sleeved shirt, and his face was partly concealed by a pair of large-frame eyeglasses that were completely covered with tape except for a small triangular opening over one lens. Hanley attempted to communicate in sign language, but the man motioned for Hanley to follow him to a room adjacent to the reception area. When they were alone, he said, "I don't speak to women." Shielding his face with his hand, he told Hanley that he was penniless, that he lived in his car, and that he needed $50 in cash for gas so he could drive to Beaumont and look for work.
"We're the Jesse Tree, not the money tree," Hanley joked. But the man was in no mood for levity.
"Is this one of those goddam places that give you the runaround?" he demanded to know.
Hanley explained that the charity didn't give out cash but that he could give the man a blanket, some food, a place to sleep, and a voucher for gas.
"What the hell am I supposed to do when I get to Beaumont!" the man snarled. Hanley didn't know what to make of him. He wasn't crazy, and he wasn't a crack addict. He decided that the man was testing him to learn how he would deal with an unreasonable request, though for what reason he couldn't guess. He told the man to come back in three hours. He never saw him again.
Hanley did see Morris Black one last time. One morning in August he spotted Black leaning against the Cotton Exchange Building, apparently distraught and in pain. He stopped his truck and asked Black if he was all right. "No!" Black creaked. "I have terrible, terrible problems."
"I work every day with people's problems," Hanley told him. "Maybe I can help."
"Nobody can help—ever!" Black cried. "Nobody can understand the nature of my problems. Not you, not anyone!"
A few weeks later Hanley and everyone else in Galveston read that, on September 30, a thirteen-year-old boy fishing in the bay had spotted something washing up against the rocks that turned out to be a human torso whose limbs had been removed with surgical precision. A search by police divers turned up two garbage bags containing the arms and legs but no head. Hanley was shocked to read a few days later that the body had been identified as Morris Black. The name of the man charged in the murder was Robert

73-year-old store clerk in Michigan pulls gun on apparent drunken man
A 73-year-old store clerk in Michigan staved off trouble at his store for the second time in recent years by pulling a gun.
Venture Corners clerk Fred Price tells the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell that he pulled his weapon Monday on a man he thought had a gun.
Authorities say an apparently drunken man went into the store in Livingston County's Deerfield Township and demanded beer.
Price says the man wouldn't leave the property, so he pulled a gun.
The would-be customer at the store about 45 miles northwest of Detroit was later arrested.
In 2010, a man walked into the store demanding money.
Price knocked what turned out to be a starter pistol out of the man's hand and shot at a getaway car.

Three year olds seem completely oblivious to the fact that their things need tidying up. In the Nursery we usually turn some music on, shake a tambourine or use some other means to convey that its time to start the process. However for many children this just triggers them walking around shouting "tidy up time" rather than actually contributing to the great clear up. Outside play is no better, and bikes etc just get "left" where they fall. Of course at lunch time this creates some interesting shadows for me, so I have found the silver lining. However for the cloud it takes most of the year to instil some good routines into them.
Naturally this is one from the past - I no longer teach at Raddlebarn, and the playground is still in a state of being "worked on" for the new Nursery building. But the day is approaching when new shadows will appear "from on high". That is because there is a covered area with a circular hole or window in the roof which will create circular shadows on the ground below. I for one can't wait to investigate with my camera on a sunny day.

I agree with Colleen, my partner never learnt to do it, at least not as a general rule, but there can be an occasional tidying surge, though it takes no time for it for everything to revert back to normal.
A good strong shadowy-type image, Helen, I like the red of the scooter and the touches of yellow stripes.

I am going to set your description to one side as it rather detracts from this powerful image that could tell so many stories. A strong, evocative image that stands alone very well.
Nominating Constructive Critique
I like the story - the one without a picture where you can make your own story BUT I also like the story you tell in your description so, it's the best of both worlds for me

Minister, Psychic, Medium, Healer
About us

More than a minister, Rev Michael Carbone is a Radio & Television host as well as a messenger from God.
Are you looking for a Metaphysical Minister who is not all about Fire & Brimstone? Then look no further!
A Psychic Medium since he was a child, Rev Michael grew up attending Catholic School and was an Altar Boy for many years. He always questioned his gifts and asked why did the Priest and church say it was the work of the devil.
Rev Michael even asked his local Priest while INSIDE the church that if the devil can not work or do anything inside the church then why can he still see and hear the spirits who are sitting in the pews just smiling.
The answer Rev Michael received was to go and say a few rosary beads for penance for asking so many questions.
You've probably heard Rev Michael on Blog Talk Radio where he is the host and founder of Be The Light Now Radio Network.
Rev Michael is also the founder of Be The Light Spiritual Network on ROKU and is also the founder of Be The Light Spiritual and Metaphysical Center located in New Port Richey, FL.
Rev Michael received the message to build the center and people will come and to use modern technology to it's fullest advantage.
So if you are looking for a minister who goes against the grain, then look no further!
Rev Michael Carbone is available for guest appearances and radio interviews.

As a child, did you ever play that game where you sit in a circle and one person is responsible for whispering something into one persons ear, and that message gets relayed around the circle? Wasn't it always funny to see what the final message received would be? Oh and how it would have morphed as it was processed and conveyed by each individual in the group.
This is what I see when I look at the WordPress Security Ecosystem.
The biggest challenge the ecosystem faces is product and service confusion. This is compounded by a variety of factors. I often categorize them, generally into two buckets – deliberate and non-deliberate confusion. For me deliberate product confusion comes often by marketeers and those looking to make a quick buck on what they perceive to be the next virtual gold rush. While non-deliberate confusion is introduced by those that mean well, or were once affected, and have come up with a genuine solution that likely addresses a very narrow issue.
An easy way to better appreciate this is to look at the WordPress Security Plugins specifically, as they're tangible and that makes it easier to truly appreciate the nuances of the security space.
Contrary to popular belief, not all plugins are the same or created equal and you can't compare them as that would not be an apples to apples comparison.
Interestingly enough, there are often pretty unique differentiating factors between each of the security plugins in the market, although in many cases there are one to one correlations. Human nature is also one of the contributing factors to confusion. As humans we are often configured to go the easiest route. We're always looking for the one with the biggest audience, or the one that is pushed on us the most. If everyone else is using it, I should too. Rarely do we truly understand or give much thought to this phenomena.

9 Essential Apps for Storms and Emergencies
Following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, disaster preparedness is on everyone's mind this storm season. You should keep your home equipped with these fundamental supplies at all times and your family should have a plan in place in case of emergencies. Since we rely on our cell phones so much when the threat of disaster is not imminent, it only makes sense that they could become more useful when it is.

Former Cavalier Sean Singletary will return to the Charlotte Bobcats this week, after the Bobcats' Developmental League team, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, concludes its season. Singletary was sent to Sioux Falls at the beginning of March.
The former Cavalier has played well during his time in the NBADL. Singletary has appeared in three games, starting one of them, and is averaging 29.3 minutes per contest. Singletary is averaging 15.7 points per game in his three contests. His numbers also include 3.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and one steal per outing.
Sioux Falls is just the latest in many stops for Singletary. After being drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the second round of the 2008 NBA Draft, he was traded to the Rockets in August, only to be dealt to the Suns less than two weeks later. He spent the first months of the season in Phoenix, before being traded to the Bobcats, who sent him to Sioux Falls early last month.
Singletary will rejoin the Bobcats following Saturday's NBADL season finale.

Conquering the Webinar Process—from within Adobe Experience Manager
As thousands of digital marketers from across Europe gather in London for the start of Adobe Summit today—and also coming hot on the heels of the latest version of Adobe Experience Manager 5.6 (which now includes all CQ capabilities)—we're excited to announce Adobe Experience Manager webinars, powered by Adobe Connect.
Webinars have become an increasingly important part of the digital marketing mix as organizations work to engage with prospects and customers and to cost-effectively drive leads. However, to be successful, marketers need to be able to draw large audiences, effectively engage and communicate with participants, and measure the effectiveness of each webinar like they would a search campaign. And, importantly, do so as part of their overall online presence. Often times, challenges associated with this process can result in marketers not getting the return they need from their online events, at the expense of driving interest, revenue and loyalty.
That's where Adobe Experience Manager webinars, powered by Adobe Connect, can help by providing marketers with a complete set of capabilities to conduct webinars and manage the process from within the Experience Manager environment.
First, the offering enables marketers to easily create targeted webinar landing pages that drive registration using pre-built tools that work seamlessly with Adobe Connect. And users can do so leveraging the familiar drag-and-drop interface, existing assets, page design templates, and additional components available in Experience Manager for landing page creation.
Next, the offering enables the delivery of immersive online events that help engage audiences to build brand and drive demand. Webinar environments supporting up to 1,500 attendees can be branded with corporate colors and logos, and deliver rich interactivity, including content and video streaming, live Twitter feeds, Q&A, and polls.
Finally, post-event analytics, delivered via capabilities from Adobe Analytics, enable measurement of results. From identifying which promotional campaigns generated the best results to qualifying leads based on both demographic and behavioral dimensions and also reviewing engagement levels throughout the event to determine what messages resonated most with the audience, marketers can gain important insights needed to optimize their webinar programs.
The new offering will be provided as an add-on to Adobe Experience Manager, and is expected to be available in June. After licensing the add-on, a free integration package, available via Package Share, will enable the solution.
We're thrilled to bring together these Adobe technologies to provide a strong answer to some key challenges our customers have expressed they face in running their webinar programs. We encourage you to stay in touch with us here and on Twitter; we'll be sharing additional information as we approach availability. And for those in the community at Adobe Summit in London, you can learn more about this offering at the Adobe Experience Manager demo booth within the Community Pavilion.

Who owns the name "Moss Neck"?
Date published: 2/8/2013
Two adjacent landowners in Caroline County disagree about who owns the rights to the name "Moss Neck," or whether anyone does.
The matter is between Larry Silver, CEO of the Silver Cos. real estate development and investment firm, and Gil and Judy Shelton.
The Sheltons own a 280-acre property off the south side of U.S. 17 in Caroline that includes the historic Moss Neck Manor home. Silver, through an entity called Moss Neck Manor Plantation Inc., owns an adjacent 1,209-acre property.
The Silver Cos. wants to build a small, high-end resort on its land and also mine the property for sand and gravel.
The Fredericksburg company does not yet have permission from Caroline to build the resort, and Silver executive Jud Honaker said no name has been chosen for the proposed facility. But he said using some form of the name "Moss Neck" would be logical.
Gil Shelton wrote in an email to a Free Lance-Star reporter last month that he and his wife own the trademark rights to the name "Moss Neck," and that the name can't be used for any commercial purpose without their approval.
The Silver Cos. disagrees. This week an attorney for the New York-based law firm Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer LLP sent a letter to the Sheltons on behalf of Moss Neck Manor Plantation Inc. disagreeing with Shelton's comments to the newspaper.
The letter states that Moss Neck is a "geographic and historical locale," and hence no single party is entitled to exclusive rights to the name.
The letter asks for an amicable resolution that would allow both parties to use the name "Moss Neck."
Shelton declined to comment on the letter, calling it a private legal matter.
According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's website, the Sheltons did have a trademark on the Moss Neck name, but it was canceled in August 2011. The Sheltons filed another request for the trademark in October 2011, according to the website, but the USPTO did not approve it.
The USPTO notes that applicants are able to appeal decisions or request a reconsideration.

Mishawaka, Ind. (August 15, 2013) — On Saturday, August 24, Dr. David Taber, medical oncologist at Michiana Hematology Oncology's Advanced Centers for Cancer Care, will once again lace up his dancing shoes to Dance for the Cure.
For the second year, Dr. Taber will join others at the event to benefit the American Cancer Society of Northern Indiana. As a medical oncologist, Dr. Taber is one of the area's leading advocates for cancer research.
"Anytime we can get the community involved in an event that focuses on cancer awareness, we're thrilled to take part. We're all working to find the best treatment options and, ultimately, a cure for cancer; and these events join us together in this shared goal," says Dr. Taber. "Dance for the Cure is also just a lot of fun."
From 7-11 p.m., the community is invited to join Dr. Taber at the Rose Ballroom at the Dan O'Day Dance Club to participate. Dan O'Day Dance Club is sponsoring the event and is located at 107 E. First St. in downtown Mishawaka. Scheduled activities include dancing, entertainment and guest speakers. Refreshments will also be served.
A $25 minimum donation per person is requested, and is 100% tax deductible. All proceeds benefit the local chapter of the American Cancer Society.
For more information on Dance for the Cure, contact the American Cancer Society of Northern Indiana at 574-257-9789.

I love the second part of this tune. You'll need to be fairly nimble-fingered to play it at speed but the effect is lovely - a cascade of notes going from low to high.
Thirteen comments
I love the second part of this tune. You'll need to be fairly nimble-fingered to play it at speed but the effect is lovely - a cascade of notes going from low to high.
Is this a Donegal tune?
Silver spire
As far as I know, it's not particularly associated with Donegal more than anywhere else in Ireland.
Brian Conway setting
Here's how Brian plays it, swingy and full of lift, on First Through the Gate (a great cd!):
FE|:D2 FE DFAc|dcde fdAF|GABG FADF|GFED CEA,C|
|D2 FE DFAc|dcde fdAF|GABG FADF|1 EA,CE D2 (3A,B,C:|2 EA,CE D2 CB,||
|:A,B,CD EFGF|~E3F GABc|dcdB ABde|fdgf eA (3BBc|
|defd ceAc|dcdB AFDF|GABG FADF|1EA,CE D2 CB,:|2EA,CE D2 (3A,B,C||
I like this setting's simplicity—staying with the scale run in the 4th bar of Part A (instead of the more common |GEFD CEA,C|), and the first two bars of Part B, where the ~E3 is featured instead of the usual |A,B,CD EFGE|(3FED EF GABc|.
First tune has wrong name- not alternate- just wrong
The name of the first tune is really The Silver SPEAR. The Silver Spire is a different tune entirely.
I *believe* "spire" here is pronounced "spear", and I've always seen this tune titled The Silver Spire, apparently I'm not the only one, as someone posted this with that title.
You can't play this tune on some instruments. :-(
The Silver Spear
Even now I get confused between those two names - Silver Spear and Silver Spire. If someone at a session asks what the tune is I usually end up mumbling something like "Silver Spuh…" (voice trailing off into silence).
The Silver SPIRE
Here's this other great classic: The Silver SPEAR http://www.thesession.org/tunes/182.
You can tell this one-here is The Silver SPIRE because the second part spirals up towards the tip of the spire like running up a steeple or lighthouse's stairway!
Talking of which…One regularly hears that there is no 'programatic' tunes in Irish music but that's far from true. It's a cliché you hear before people are about to launch into the 'only such' piece': The Foxhunter's Chase. But now and then you'll encounter one.
Jennie's Chickens for example (especially if piped well)
I'll post more links at the next encounters…
Another onomatopeic tune: The Fat Cat (hornpipe) http://www.thesession.org/tunes/950 as played by the composer.
As far as "The Silver Spire" and "The Silver Spear" confusion goes, the tunes are different enough from one another they actually work well when paired together (in that order). Trust me - they sound great to start a set of reels.
X:3 Piping Version
might be good on any woodwind
x:5 ocarina version
Variation to fit 11 hole ocarina in D, based on x:1.

- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Aim of this study is to determine the effect of isoflurane versus sevoflurane on blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance.
Drug: Sevoflurane and isoflurane
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|The Effect of Sevoflurane Versus Isoflurane on Vasopressor Need
- Total amount of the vasopressor phenylephrine that is needed to maintain blood pressure above 60 mmHg during 10 minutes of Cardiopulmonary bypass. [ Time Frame: 10 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Mean blood pressure throughout the 10 minute periods, the need for a stronger vasopressor (norepinephrine) and the inability to keep mean blood pressure below 75 mmHg at MAC 0.6. [ Time Frame: 10 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

|Study Start Date:
|May 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2009
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Sevoflurane
Administration of the volatile anesthetic Sevoflurane.
Drug: Sevoflurane and isoflurane
Patients will be randomized to a 10 minute treatment with isoflurane, followed by a wash-out period, followed by a 10 minute treatment with sevoflurane, or the other way round.
Other Name: Sevorane/isoflurane
Active Comparator: Isoflurane
Administration of the volatile anesthetic Isoflurane.
Drug: Sevoflurane and isoflurane
Patients will be randomized to a 10 minute treatment with isoflurane, followed by a wash-out period, followed by a 10 minute treatment with sevoflurane, or the other way round.
Other Name: Sevorane/isoflurane
Detailed Description:
In modern anesthesia a variety of volatile anesthetics is available. In cardiac anesthesiology both isoflurane and sevoflurane are frequently used. At present the number of studies comparing the influence of isoflurane and sevoflurane on blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance is limited. Moreover, the results presented in the available literature are inconsistent. The decision as to which of both volatiles should be used during cardiac surgery is not evidence-based, but is based on personal preference of the anesthesist. The most reliable way to compare the effects of isoflurane and sevoflurane on blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance is a randomized controlled trial in patients during Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:

The Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve Planning District Initiative to help plan the future hosted a community meeting on April 16 at the seniors' centre to discuss their future.
More than 30 individuals attended to learn about the planning process and create their goals for the village of Maymont and district. The evening was well received and positive feedback was shared by those who attended. Common aspirations shared by the group included: protecting green space and ecological areas, keeping the community clean and revitalization efforts for Maymont's Main Street.
The RMs of Great Bend No. 405, Douglas No. 436 and Meeting Lake No. 446, the towns of Hafford and Radisson and the villages of Maymont, Speers and Borden have come together to create a Regional Sustainability Plan to help guide future growth and development.
Maymont dance recital was held April 20 in the Maymont School Gym. The recital was enjoyed by all who attended.
The Maymont fire truck was called out to a bush fire two and a half miles east of Maymont April 24. No damage was done.
Birthday Wishes to Jay Babineau, Clair McIvor, Carol Deagnon, Bonnie Wood, Mary Carpentier, Ernie Voegeli, Herman Soule, Don Spence and Jackie Caldwell who are all celebrating birthdays this week. Also to anyone we might have missed.
Welcome back home Mel and Carol, we missed you while you were gone and glad to see you back. We'll be waiting to hear about your trip.

A mother and daughter, a local youth minister and the stranded motorist they were trying to help were identified Monday as the four people killed in a "horrific" multi-vehicle crash late Saturday in southern Tarrant County in which nine other people were injured.Hollie Boyles, 52, and her daughter, Shelby Boyles, 21, left their house nearby to help Breanna Mitchell, 24, of Lillian, whose sport utility vehicle broke down late Saturday in the 1500 block of Burleson-Retta Road, according to the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department.Brian Jennings, 41, a youth minister at Alsbury Baptist Church, was driving past and pulled over to assist. Jennings had been at a party for his son, who just graduated from Burleson High School, a friend said.Investigators say they think a vehicle slammed into Mitchell's SUV about 11:45 p.m. Two other vehicles, including Jennings' pickup, were damaged.The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has begun a "source investigation," said Carolyn Beck, a TABC spokeswoman in Austin said Monday. That does not mean that investigators have confirmed that alcohol was involved but when people are killed, the agency opens a "source investigation" to try to learn whether someone under 21 was illegally served alcohol, or if an adult was overserved, Beck said.The Tarrant County medical examiner's office reported that Jennings died from injuries to the head, neck and abdomen and that Mitchell died from "multiple blunt-force injuries." Injuries to both were "due to motor vehicle-pedestrian collision."The cause of death for the Boyleses had not been posted by late Monday. Investigators are working on two fronts — accident reconstruction and a possible criminal investigation because alcohol may have been a factor, said Tarrant County sheriff's spokesman Terry Grisham. Investigators have interviewed "dozens" of witnesses, he said."There is a ton of work to be done," Grisham said Monday.In addition to Mitchell's SUV, the vehicles involved were a red pickup driven by a 16-year-old with seven teenage passengers from Hurst, Fort Worth and North Richland Hills; Jennings' pickup, in which he had 13-year-old and 12-year-old passengers; and a Volkswagen driven by Ashlyn Evans, 18, of Burleson, with a 14-year-old passenger.Monday afternoon, Kay Ward, who lives two doors down from Boyles' house, said she didn't know the family well but that Hollie Boyles greeted Ward when she moved into the neighborhood in October and impressed her from the start."She came over to welcome us to the neighborhood," Ward recalled. "She said, 'We just built a shop and we have a ton of tools. If you ever need anything, come on over.' "She was bubbly and nice. She always honked and waved. She seemed like the kind of person who would go out and help somebody."Some of those in the red pickup were apparently students from Keller Central High School, according to social media websites. Two were reportedly in critical condition, according to a MedStar official. Their conditions could not be learned Monday.Debris from the wreck was cleared by Monday afternoon although a damaged mailbox lay on the ground. An accident investigator could be seen taking measurements."It's the most horrific wreck I have seen in years," Grisham said.
