Early Cub Cadet
We got cleaning the old barn out at the farm today. Underneath it all we found our 1961 Cub Cadet, Serial #16509. When the '48 Cub is done - I think I'll tackle this one....I'll get pix...

Re: Early Cub Cadet
That sounds like a magical barn!
I think you will also enjoy working on the Cub Cadet Original, they are also built like a tank and will be good for another 50 years once done! Yours was made in Sept. of '61.
Looking forward to the pictures,

Zara is the latest addition to the IGN Asia Pacific team. She is an RPG addict who will play anything as long as it involves dragons and swords . Share her love of PC Game modding by sharing your thoughts, or favourite mods in the comments section below.
The Best Mods Out There: Part 2 The Dragon Age Edition
So I chose to feature Dragon Age Origins for the second part of this series because it is a gem of a game. The characters are brilliantly written, the story is unforgettable and the gameplay is extremely satisfying. To add a cherry on top of this pile of awesome, DA:O comes with a toolkit.
A toolkit! To make modding easier!
Hear me now game developers: EVERY GAME SHOULD COME WITH A TOOLKIT.
(Console players: SRY NO TOOLKIT 4 U LOL)
The toolkit is so simple, even novice modders can tinker around with the game to personalize their gaming experience. This is one of the main reasons DA:O has retained a permanent position in my gaming life and I will probably never share the amount of hours I have clocked into this game with any attractive member of the opposite sex.
If you're wondering why this article isn't about mods for Dragon Age 2, it's because
Dragon Age 2 never happened Bioware decided that the second part of the series wouldn't come with a toolkit and this has limited the ability of modders to create anything beyond the superficial.
As much as I have enjoyed some of the mods that have come out of the modding community for DA2, I'm not interested in writing a whole article about "cool armor" mods.
There have been many complaints about Dragon Age 2, which I shan't delve into here since it has been discussed extensively in the gamingsphere, but I'd like to point out the fact that I played DA 2 twice and haven't returned to it since. Perhaps if they had given modders more access to the platform this article would have a different title, no?
On to the mods then.
1. RAVAGE Slinks S3
This is probably the mod of all mods for me when it comes to DA:O.
Any hardcore player will probably be able to memorize all enemy encounters by the second playthrough. Subsequent plays start getting stale when there isn't a feeling of anticipation about what might be lurking around the corner.
Ravage gives you a new experience each time you load in the game. New enemies and new loot! The best feature of this mod is the fact that you can get high-tier armor and weapons from killing baddies instead of buying them from merchants.
There are a few good weapon and armor drops from enemies in the vanilla version of the game, but the best tend to come at the price of coin. It makes more sense for badass adventurers to earn their finery at the price of blood, no?
Pro-Tip: Amp up the difficulty with Nightmare Ultra if you're HAARDCORE GRAHHH and have a lot of time to waste reloading saves.
The best part about killing dragons in DA:O is the deathblow. The animation puts your character on the head of a roaring, thrashing, dragon as you plunge your deathstick into its fiery nose.
In fact all the deathblows in DA:O are made to give you that "awww yeeeaahh" feeling, specifically catered to your chosen class. Rogues can execute smooth double-dagger head-decapitations while warriors have samurai-style gut slicing animations with a greatsword.
These deathblows don't happen all the time though, so your badass moments have about a 1/5 chance of occurring. If, like me, you're the kind of gamer who likes serving death and destruction with panache and style, this mod is for you.
The modder has made it so that deathblows happen much more frequently, and the level of probability can be calibrated to your liking. So go forth and kill your enemies like the master swordsman you imagine yourself to be.
Pro-Tip: Give your Arcane Warriors weapons skills so that they too may look like big show-offs on the battle-field. Warning: Arcane Warriors are already pretty over-powered so this might mess with the balance of the game.
Holy moly is this mod extensive. I didn't have a massive problem with the atmosphere in Dragon Age Origins
because I was busy flirting with Alistair but this mod gave me things I never knew I needed. Towns are more vibrant, little enhancements have been made to several places in the game to make it more realistic and even my followers are more entertaining. Other than simple ambience, quests are made to be more rewarding and cutscenes that were previously unavailable due to bugs have been restored.
This modder is probably one of the most tenacious I have ever encountered, and deserves the most serious of high-fives for the attention to detail and wealth of features included in just one mod. Go ahead, read the description and lets go WOAH.
Pro-Tip: If you find the NPCs too fugly for your liking, check out Dragon Age Redesigned. Warning, the attractiveness of computer-generated characters is subjective.
Tactics are an important part of gameplay in DA:O, unless you like your companions dying frequently. Those who prefer going solo will probably not find any use for this mod, but I believe you're missing out on a lot of game content if you don't take your extremely well-written followers along with you during quests.
Image via belldandy at deviantart
The vanilla version of the game allows you to set up team battle tactics so that your followers don't act like idiots. Its pretty OK if you're satisfied with the basic "Tank stay in front and mages stay way back" setup, but it's a bit of a shame to stay "average" when your team is supposed to be the most powerful army in Thedas, no?
This mod gives your tactical abilities a boost so that your commands can be more precise and cater for situations the vanilla version doesn't provide for. Wynne, for example, has the ability to revive dead companions, and the vanilla version doesn't provide a command for this death-defying spell.
It also allows your allies to jump to different battle tactics based on how many companions or enemies are dead. This could make a big difference when you're outnumbered, or when there's one measly genlock left and you'd like your team to conserve their energy for battles ahead.
Download this mod if you like spending a lot of time strategizing gameplay; skip it if you shape your team based on how attractive they are.
Pro-Tip: Add more realism to your battles with Combat Tweaks if you're into that sort of thing.
There are several armor mods for DA:O, and the modding community has outdone itself in providing original armor to make you and your companions' look like extremely well dressed killing machines.
This particular mod is my favorite for two reasons. The first one being the level of detail in the textures, and secondly because Sten is the goddamn Vanguard of the Qunari and he deserves his own custom-made armor, m'kay.
The modder has made it so that the armor itself is acquired through lore-friendly means, and the make is extremely fitting for the regal and deadly fighters of the Qunari race.
I can't find a good reason for you not to download this mod unless you hate Sten and suffer from a lack of appreciation for his brilliance.
Pro-Tip: Make sure Sten's mad cool threads don't outshine your own by checking out the numerous offerings at DragonAgeNexus. Worthy mentions include Armor of the Devout, Wings of Velvet and the Phoenix Armory.
I can't write about the Dragon Age modding community without mentioning the standalone campaigns that have been produced, thanks to the extremely useful toolkit. If you love Baldurs Gate II, click this link and send me roses in the mail later.
Before downloading any mod, make sure to check for conflicts and bugs that might break your game. Happy gaming!

When you are finished touring the Hiroshima Peace Museum, you may notice that there are some stamps like the one in the picture sitting out. These stamps are very popular in Japan. The Japanese will often stamp brochures or pamphlets, and you can do this too if you have any from Hiroshima. Also, if you have/bought any books, you may want to stamp the inside cover. I never saw anyone stamp there hands, so that may not be something they do. These stamps are not only in Hiroshima. I found that many museums or tourist attractions have them, as well. I always enjoyed stamping books and other materials from the place where the stamp advertised. It's a fun and unique type of stamp collecting!

Paper cranes
Wherever you go in the Peace Memorial Park you will come across these origami folded paper cranes. They are left in their thousands at the Children's Peace Memorial, but also at many of the other monuments, and we were given some by several of the school children we met, as mementoes and in thanks for the time we spent talking to them (see my Favourites tip). The cranes are a symbol of peace, and the reason for this can be traced back to Sadako Sasaki, the young victim of the atomic bomb whose memory inspired the Children's Peace Memorial. Sadako was two years old at the time of the bomb. She survived the blast, despite being flung out of a window, but in 1954 developed leukaemia. She was hospitalized in February 1955, and given, at the most, a year to live. While in hospital she started to fold the traditional origami paper cranes so beloved of the Japanese. Her aim was to make a thousand, as an ancient Japanese story promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods. One version of her story says that she didn't manage to achieve this, having made "just" 644 before her death in October of that year. However, her school friends completed the task on her behalf and all thousand cranes were buried with her. But an exhibit in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (see this account) asserts that by the end of August 1955, she had achieved her goal and continued to fold more cranes.
Whatever the details of Sadako's mission, she has inspired several generations of Japanese children. Her legacy is a custom that brings colour to the memorials here and provides a visible reminder of the thousands that pay tribute to the victims. It is also a custom that has travelled the globe. When we were in New York some years ago we visited St Paul's Chapel, a small church that stood almost in the shadow of the Twin Towers, but miraculously escaped any damage. In the months following 9/11, it served as a refuge for rescue workers, a triage centre for victims, and as a beacon of hope for the city. It is now a place of remembrance and among its exhibits are paper cranes sent by the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a sign of their empathy with their counterparts in New York – a wonderful manifestation of Hiroshima's commitment to world peace.

Remembering the past: hoping for the future
Near the Atomic Bomb Dome we saw several displays set up by local people – some artefacts from the devastation caused by the bomb such as these roof tiles (photo two), posters campaigning for peace and some old photos of Hiroshima at the time, both before and after the bomb. This area just on the fringes of the Peace Memorial Park seems to have become a venue for individual local people who are keeping the memory of what happened on that day alive to express their feelings and, in some cases, share personal experiences with visitors.
One of the displays held a rack of paper flyers promoting a blog by the son of parents who survived the attack (his mother being pregnant with him at the time), in which his mother describes the events of that day and the subsequent death of her father, his grandfather. This is a simply told, powerful first person testimony: My Father's sixth of August, 1945 in Hiroshima. The blogger, Mito Kosei, now works as a volunteer guide at the Peace Memorial Park showing English-speaking visitors around. I have read since our visit that he used to work at the museum but now prefers to work independently as it gives him more freedom to campaign against all forms of nuclear activity.
Mito is one of the hibakusha, which translates as "explosion-affected people", as he was affected by the radiation in utero. Wikipedia explains:
" The Atomic Bomb Survivors Relief Law defines hibakusha as people who fall into one of the following categories: within a few kilometres of the hypocenters of the bombs; within 2 km of the hypocenters within two weeks of the bombings; exposed to radiation from fallout; or not yet born but carried by pregnant women in any of these categories. As of March 31, 2013, 201,779 hibakusha were recognized by the Japanese government, most living in Japan. … Hibakusha are entitled to government support. They receive a certain amount of allowance per month. About 1%, certified as suffering from bomb-related diseases, receive a special medical allowance."
Leaving the Atomic Bomb Dome you can cross the bridge and enter the Peace Memorial Park, but before doing so there is one monument that lies just outside the park and is worth seeing, the Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students

"Ekiben" Rail Station Box Lunch
This "ekiben" is oyster broth flavoured rice topped with boiled oysters, fine green dry seaweed sprinkle, shredded scrambled egg, pink pickled ginger and carrot flower, with a side dish of fried oysters with lemon slice, boiled oyster in a somewhat spicy wasabi-miso sauce, sweet/salty dried little fishes, and pickled green leaf veggies.
Definitely my vote for funkiest package concept, which also happens to be sturdy and re-useable. It is meant to represent a typical rice scooping paddle. Don't ask me why. However, I reckon this shape happens to have its function, as the bite-size foods could be stuffed toward the narrow end without fear of getting jumbled with the main dish during transport.
Also, my vote for most novel food concept - oysters are a known Hiroshima specialty, but this presentation is quite unique, not to mention tasty!
Generally, it is available for purchase only in this area, primarily at Hiroshima Station, and then only available during the winter months.
Manufactured by local company Hiroshima Ekiben KK which was founded in the year 1901. Also provides general catering service and operate local cuisine restaurants. Their stated maximum production capability is 50,000 (!) lunches daily, with employing over 650 staff overall.

Everyone knows about taking your shoes off when you enter houses or temples and if you forget there are normally shoes piled up outside anyway so its difficult to make a buu. However... did you know that you have to take your shoes off before entering a changing room?? A general rule is anywhere with carpet or a step up onto either wood or carpet. Its always a good idea to ask if you are unsure!! so as to prevent the gasp....that escapes as you commit a shoe error! for other cultural tips check out culture
In case you don't read my...
In case you don't read my cultural tips in the travelogue above:The majority of Japanese don't have a lot of exposure to foreigners and maybe because of this or maybe because of the type of Western information that infiltrates Japan most Japanese think foriegners are cooler than themselves. This and the fact that the Japanese know they are very unique makes travelling easy for foreigners. They expect you to make mistakes and they don't expect you to be able to use chopsticks and they really don't expect you to be able to speak Japanese. If you can get something in your mouth using at least one chopstick you will be praised! If you get out a greeting no matter what time of the day it is and which one you used you will recieve 'wow' comments on your Japanese ability! In the big cities at the tourist attractions this may vary as they are more used to foreigners but step out (just to the next block) and you will find this to be true. Don't worry about what you are doing wrong- People will be staring at you anyway so don't get a complex- they like us because we are different (and they know you wont be in Japan for long!)
Did you know that in...
Did you know that in Japan........the number 42 is bad luck........that woman ghosts haunt taxi cabs......that dead spirits are sometimes embodied in female cats.........and that.....badgers are mischievious evil little wrongdoers!!! I didn't either but I did find a really good website, the address is in my introduction, which is really interesting and well written!
Paper Cranes
The Crane has become an unofficial symbol of Hiroshima since the story of Sadako Sasaki became world famous.
Sadako Sasaki was born in Hiroshima in 1943 and was only 2 years old when the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Sadako survived the blast but several years later in 1954, she started to develop a rash on her neck. 3 months later the rash worsened and purple lesions started to form on her legs. She was diagnosed with a form of leukaemia and was hospitalised in February 1955, with under a year left to live.
Following a vist from a friend, who told Sadako of an ancient Japanese tradition, which said that anyone who folded 1000 origami cranes would be granted one wish, Sadako set out to fold 1000 paper cranes.
Some say that Sadako managed to fold over 600 paper cranes before her death, while her friends and family finished the thousand after her death and buried them with her. However, the accepted truth is that Sadako did indeed reach 1000 cranes but continued folding the cranes until her death in October 1955.
Today origami cranes from all over Japan and the world continue to be sent to the Children's Monument in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and the thousands upon thousands of cranes on display around the monument are a moving symbol of children's solidarity with Sadako and all the other child victims of the atomic bombings in Japan.
Taking the tram
Paying the fare on the local tram differs from state to state.
We got scolded once in Tokyo cuz we thought we pay when we get off when its the opposite.
In Tokyo and Kyoto, you pay when you get on the tram.
In Osaka, hiroshima, you pay when you get off the tram.
And in my country, the entrance is near the driver and the exit is towards the middle of the vehicle. Its the opposite in Hiroshima.
Traditional wedding
When visiting Miyajima, we were very lucky to witness a traditional wedding at the Itsukushima-jinja. That was particularly interesting as the ceremony was held in the open shrine and everybody could watch. The guests were all well-dressed, the women wearing beautiful kimonos. The bride was dressed in a white kimono with a large hood, the face being nearly invisible. What was familiar to us was the exchanging of rings at the end of the wedding, but the music played was really strange!
After the wedding we were so lucky to be able to take some "family pictures" of the whole wedding party.

Hiroshima is in exteriour a rather different town then others in Japan. Obviously because it has been totally destroyed and therefor the city now has a new look. Wide avenues, large officeblocks in a chessboard-shape. Almost an American town which makes it even strange to know that the bomb came from them.

Momijimanju: a Japanese-style cake named after its shape. Popular for its simple but refined taste.
Here, at the Hiroshima JR station, you can marvel of the high degree of automation in all aspects of the Japanese life.
In Hiroshima you may see wreaths of coloured origami cranes. Each of these wreaths contain 100 paper cranes. They are a symbol of peace for the Japanese. It could be a fitting gesture to make one and place one in the memorial park yourself.

Sadako Sasaki
Sadako Sasaki was a little Japanese girl who lived in Hiroshima. When she was two years old, the US Army Air Force dropped an atomic bomb on her home town. The explosion blew her threw a window, but she survived.
In November 1954 when Sadako was eleven years old, she developed swellings on her neck and behind her ears. In January 1955 purple spots started forming on her legs. She had developed leukemia as a result of the A-bomb radiation.
Doctors told her devatated family that she only had a year to live, but Sadako did not want to die and she remembered an old Japanese story, The Legend of a Thousand Paper Cranes. The legend stated that anyone who folded one thousand paper cranes would be granted a wish. Sadako wanted to wish for life.
On the 25th of October 1955 Sadako died. She had folded 644 paper cranes before becoming too weak to fold anymore. Her classmates folded the remaining 356 cranes in honour of her memory.
You will see strings of paper cranes hanging on the peace memorials of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are also statues of Sadako near her school and in the Peace Park in Hiroshima.

By Frank Denzler Rushville Republican
Rushville Republican
---- — The Rushville City Parks Board met earlier this week and set rental fees for the recently renovated and improved shelter house located in Laughlin Park. As a result of the improvements, and acting on a recommendation by parks director Danny Mathews, board members voted to increase rental fee for the building from $25 to $100.
According to Mathews, the building has a capacity of 120 and the increase will help offset electricity, water bills and place the rental fee in line with similar sized local venues. As previously reported in the Rushville Republican, the majority of the improvements - indoor restrooms, running water, heat and central air, — were accomplished by city street employees.
In other matters, the election of board officers was held. Aaron Gurley was elected president and will be assisted by vice president Paul Barada and secretary David Malson during the coming year.
Board members next finalized plans for the Valentine dance. The annual Parks and Recs board sponsored event is a free event which will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 7 at Benjamin Rush Middle School and is open to all middle school students.
Carla Sharp was next to address the board and said all the acts for the 2014 Riverside Park Amphitheater concert series have been booked and that sponsor packs will be sent out in the coming days. The annual announcement party for the concert series will be held Jan. 29 at a yet undisclosed location.

Another great Batavia Football season came to a close on Friday.
The Bulldogs battled the Downers Grove North Trojans on Friday at Batavia High School. In the end, the Trojans would emerge with a 38-26 victory.
Although their playoff run ended too early, Batavia had an incredible regular-season run. They went undefeated for the second season in a row, even against top-ranked teams like Glenbard North.
One things for sure, the Bulldogs give it their all. Thank you for supporting the football team and all Batavia athletics!
A very special thanks goes to Debi Paradiso for these game photos.

One of the most unique cases I've come across is the Case-Mate Smart Skin. I really dig this case as it offers great protection in a compact design. It has a very cool feel to it, and the keyboard cover is a great addition. The only hard part I found was getting used to typing on the "softer" keys, but after a while I barely noticed a difference. It works surprisingly well and I really had no trouble at all typing with the case on. The trackpad obviously does sit a bit lower which felt odd at first, but after a few minutes it's not a big issue. This case gets a thumbs-up from me - if you like to go for a simple case with great protection, the Case-Mate Smart Skin is deiniftely worth a look.
cenloe May 26, 2010 at 11:11 am
Back in the day before I had a smartphone, I used an LG enV. The case I used for it also had a keyboard cover, and I loved it. The only issue I had was slipping it in and out of pocket, silicon is not the most pocket friendly material made.
On my Tour I use an Ottterbox Commuter Case, I love it but I wish it had a keyboard cover like this does. If either Otterbox or Case-Mate made a Commuter like product that also had this kind of keyboard cover, it would reign as champion of cases, IMHO. This keyboard cover, the hard outer Commuter shell along with a screen protector would just rock.

I've had this on my 9700 for about a month now... I love it, the keyboard adds a great feeling to the phone!!
Cenlow - This phone isn't like the regular silicone cases, this is much easier getting in and out of my pocket, but the best, but a lot better than the actually Blackberry silicone case.
I slip this on and off as needed, during the work day it's off but as soon as I am out and about I slip it back on.
cenloe May 26, 2010 at 12:27 pm
I will give this a closer look then
wheelsee May 26, 2010 at 3:36 pm
He spends 3 minutes talking about how weird the track pad is but fails to answer simple questions like:
Will this still fit in the case included with the phone?
Will this still allow me to charge in the dock?
hsumra May 27, 2010 at 12:31 pm
The phone does not fit in the case or the dock with the Smart Skin applied.
breakmedown May 26, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I actually have been rocking these cases since March of 2009 when I had an 8310. When I got my 8900 in August of last year, I purchased this case the same day (from CB, no less). I love it. I'm hell on the keyboard and this is the case that best protects it. I agree the trackball functionality is changed, but you get over it.
Sebs005 May 26, 2010 at 5:46 pm
does anyone know if the backlight for the keyboard shines through the case so you can see the keys in the dark?
hsumra May 27, 2010 at 12:32 pm
It does shine through, but not as bright; I can still see it in the dark!
mjbesen310 May 26, 2010 at 6:03 pm

Spirit Rover May 26, 2010 at 6:40 pm
I just received my BB Bold 9650 Monday, and this smart skin for it today (from Crackberry). I love them both! One issue that's kept me searching for the right smart phone has been the glossy keys (WHY do they make them glossy???). The glare under fluorescent lights causes eye strain. Anyhow...this skin not only provides a comfortable and safe (for us clumsy people) grip, but also a nice tactile, non-glare key surface. The side holes match up, and the keyboard works amazingly well. I, too had little time necessary to adjust to the trackpad being a bit recessed within the skin frame. The screen protector seems to cut down on the glare a bit too so I can turn the brightness back up now. Excellent price too ($17.95). The only other case I was looking at was $27! Thanks for doing the review Adam.

Copied from their website.
Product Questions & Answers
Q) Can i charge this devise in a charging cradle with out taking off the smart skin?
A) The Smart Skin would need to be removed to charge while in the cradle.
Q) Does the light shine through the keys in dim or dark settings?
A) The keyboard is a laser edged keyboard which allows back lighting to come through to the keyboard.
Bibojim May 27, 2010 at 2:53 am
I still find the keys a bit cramped on the 9700, it looks like this defines the keys better, does this make it easier to type on?

I like the feel of the keyboard with the skin on it. IMO it does make it easier to type on because how it feels, like a cushion, bouncy, soft keyboard! lol

Thyroid hormone concentrations
Greyhounds have lower thyroid hormone concentrations (total thyroxine [T4] and free T4 by equilibrium dialysis) than other breeds (Table 1).7 The clinical relevance of this is controversial in veterinary medicine. Some veterinarians think that most greyhounds are
hypothyroid and should be supplemented with levothyroxine, whereas others think that the lower concentrations are normal for
the breed.
One greyhound adoption program suggests that greyhounds that show shyness or anxiety receive thyroid supplementation regardless
of thyroid hormone concentrations.8 I disagree with this and think greyhounds are often oversupplemented with thyroid hormone replacement medications. Greyhounds
normally show many outward signs that might be confused with signs of hypothyroidism. Many greyhounds are inactive and cold-intolerant
and have caudal thigh alopecia. These signs may not be a result of hypothyroidism. The thigh alopecia is referred to as bald thighs syndrome and is not consistently thyroid hormone-responsive.9
Other idiosyncrasies
Greyhounds have lower globulin concentrations and higher sodium, chloride, and bilirubin concentrations than other breeds
(Table 1), although these findings are rarely misinterpreted or clinically relevant.3
Greyhounds may have mildly enlarged hearts and mild heart murmurs that can occasionally be considered normal. The murmur is
known as a physiologic flow murmur and is considered idiopathic but most likely relates to turbulent blood flow associated with a high stroke volume.10,11 The physiologic flow murmur can be characterized as systolic (not holosystolic), loudest over the left base, and low intensity
(grade III or less)10,11 and must be distinguished from murmurs due to cardiac diseases. Mild generalized heart enlargement is also a common finding
in many normal greyhounds, even many years after retirement.
Echocardiographic idiosyncrasies noted in greyhounds include enlarged left ventricular cavity dimensions, increased left ventricular
and septal wall thickness, and increased systolic time intervals when compared with nongreyhounds. These differences were
significant despite corrections for body surface area and body weight.12 Greyhounds are also known to have significantly higher mean arterial pressures than nongreyhounds (118 mm Hg vs. 98 mm Hg).13
Alabama rot
Idiopathic cutaneous and renal glomerular disease, also known as Alabama rot, is a rare disease seen more frequently in greyhounds than in other breeds.14-16 It is thought to be caused by Escherichia coli 0157:H7 toxin.14 The first clinical signs noted are inflamed and painful cutaneous swellings that may crust and progress to slow healing ulcers
ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters in length. The most commonly affected sites include the hocks, stifles,
or medial thighs. In rare cases lesions may be noted on the forelimbs, thorax, or ventral abdomen. General malaise and inappetence
is often associated with this period. Renal disease occurs in 25% of cases and may occur up to 10 days after the onset of

Staff Writer
---- — AMESBURY — When acting police Chief Kevin Ouellet is officially sworn in as the city's leading law enforcement officer on July 1, he will likely be pressed into making do with less than he and retired Chief Mark Gagnon had hoped for.
Last week, the City Council, acting in its capacity at the Finance Committee, rejected the police department's fiscal 2014 funding request of $3,769,871, asking Gagnon and Ouellet to trim $29,000 from its bottom line. The council is expected to meet tonight to approve Mayor Thatcher Kezer's proposed $55,813,221 fiscal 2014 budget.
At last week's budget hearing, the council focused much of its attention on proposed salaries for the department's top three positions: chief, executive officer and detective lieutenant, even though the council doesn't have the power to slash specific line items.
Instead, the council can approve less money than requested, placing the burden on department heads to make cuts where they feel most appropriate. Some in attendance last week saw the council's decision to single out the pay of the top three positions as more of a statement regarding bloated police salaries.
Reached yesterday, Councilor at-large Jim Kelcourse said there has been concern among his colleagues that Amesbury's police brass were making more money than lead officers in communities comparable in size to Amesbury. Asked whether councilors were sending a message that night, Kelcourse demurred, saying he wouldn't go as far as saying the council's intent was sending a message.
"But it's appropriate we should be sending a message to the police department and the mayor," Kelcourse said, adding he thought the city could afford to pay high-ranking police officers less than they make currently.
Considering that the police department is seeking an increase of $354,528 from fiscal 2013, mostly due to contractual salary increases, a $29,000 cut may not seem dramatic. To put that in perspective, the fire department is seeking a fiscal 2014 budget of $2,994,470, an increase of $28,357 from what the department received in fiscal 2013.
The fire department, city clerk and the Amesbury Public Library were among those agencies whose budgets were approved without cuts. And while the school department's fiscal 2014 budget is set to see a bump as well, it won't increase as much as school officials had hoped, leading to tough choices in the months to come. Another department faced with budget cuts is Community and Economic Development.
Yesterday, Kezer said the police department's budget hike reflects the switch over to a regional dispatch center in Middleton starting this summer. That means the department will have to absorb $155,277 to fill four and-a-half positions to watch over prisoners and to fulfill walk-in duties at the School Street station. Previously, the four full-time and one part-time positions were covered under a separate line item called public safety communications. Kezer is estimating the switch to a regional dispatch center will save the city $238,125 in fiscal 2014 alone, covering much of the proposed budget increase.
Should the police department's budget cut become official, Gagnon said it will force cuts in a department that is already lean.
"We're pretty much trying to keep things like they were last year," Gagnon said, adding one item off the table will be job cuts.
Gagnon, whose last day in the department was last week, has been part of budget process since the beginning, attending Finance Committee meetings and is expected to be inside City Hall tonight when the council makes its final vote.

6. Identity thieves love travelers and tourists. Scott Stevenson, the founder and CEO of Eliminate ID Theft, an ID theft protection company, said that when traveling, you should be alert to strangers hovering when you use a credit card at an ATM or phone, and to avoid public wireless Internet connections unless you have beefed-up security protection.
7. Identity thieves are sneaky; you need to be sneaky, too. There are a few simple things you can do to protect your credit card in case it falls into the wrong hands. "Sign your credit card with a Sharpie so your signature can't be erased and written over," suggests Echo Montgomery Garrett, a writer in Marietta, Ga. Consultant Sarah Browne of Carmel, Calif., had all but one credit card stolen from a hotel room. The card that was spared still had the "please activate" sticker on it. Though Browne had activated the card, she forgot to remove the sticker. "The thieves must have known that you have to activate a new card from the phone number listed with the credit card company, so they didn't bother with it," she said. Since then, she leaves the activation stickers on all of her cards. Indeed, when a thief struck a second time at a public function, Browne's stickered cards were again left untouched.
8. Pay attention at the checkout line. If a cashier or salesperson takes your card and either turns away from you or takes too long to conduct what is usually a normal transaction, she may be scanning your card into a handheld skimming terminal to harvest the information. Thieves don't need a handheld scanner to capture your information. According to Mark Cravens, the "Anti-Scam Doctor" and author of "The Ten Commandments of Investing," they can take a picture of the front and back of your card with a cellphone or merely swap out cards. "Look at your card when they hand it back and make sure it's yours, and not another gold, silver, or blue card that looks like yours," he says. "You may not notice they swapped your card for days."
9. Go paperless in as many ways as possible. Sandy Shore, a training manager with Novadebt, a nonprofit, New Jersey-based credit-counseling agency, suggests clients cut back on the mail they receive from banks and financial institutions by discontinuing paper bills and statements. "Access your financial statements at the issuer's website instead," she says. This strategy has the added bonus of an environmental benefit. Similarly, Vaclav Vincalek, the president of Pacific Coast Information Systems, an IT security firm, recommends that whatever paper receipts and financial statements you do receive go through the shredder instead of into the wastebasket. "Never throw away a credit card slip," he says. "Instead, shred anything that has any number, name, address on it."
10. Identity theft insurance can pay off, but you need to read the fine print. Several companies offer identity theft insurance, which covers the money you shell out to repair your identity. This includes whatever you spend on phone calls, making copies of documents and mailing them, hiring an attorney and, in some cases, lost wages. However, the insurance -- which costs about $50 a year -- does not reimburse you for funds you lost. Your current homeowners policy may include identity theft insurance in your package, so check first before signing up with an outside company. Also, some companies are starting to offer identity theft insurance as an employee benefit.

Guide Review - Ducane Affinity 3100 Black Gas Grill - Discontinued
It seems that every year gas grills either get more expensive, or they lose something in quality. For 2009 Weber, has removed most all of the stainless steel body parts and some of the extras from its Ducane line of gas grills. This helps to keep the price the same, but gives you less to play with.
The Ducane Affinity 3100 is a basic grill. If you want a basic grill then this is a good unit for you to look at. While a little thin on materials this is a good grill for around $350USD.
You will still get full support from Weber for this grill and my understand is that parts and accessories for these units were ready to ship before the grills were. The warranty is good, so hang on to your paperwork. Despite support and warranties though, I would strongly recommend the cover for this unit.
This line of Ducane grills is available through some Ace Hardware stores and of outlets. See Ducane's website to find a dealer near you.

Easy setup, No clutter, Great sound
This review is from: Polk Audio SurroundBar 5000 IHT 31" High Performance Surroundbar With Wireless Subwoofer System
Pros: Works straight out of the box, setup took minutes, sounds so much better than stock TV speakers, even the wife was impressed. Had to turn levels way down during first use, whole apartment was shaking from the sub. Remote is simple and straightforward (credit card style) with seperate level control for speaker and sub. Was also able to use device with my Logitech Harmony 650 Universal Remote without any custom setup.
Cons: Only 1 optical input, which comes out of the bottom of the unit, which means you have to either use the flimsy stock cable that comes with it or make sure you upgrade to one that has a 90 degree adapter on one end (found this out after buying one that didn't). Same is true for the 1/8" analog inputs. If male adapter is too long/not 90 degrees bar won't sit properly. Bluetooth adapter works, but is very weak, my phone had to be within 4 feet of soundbar to connect properly.
Other Thoughts: List price was only 399.95 when I bought this on 12/11/12, but now lists at 599.99. Even when on sale it costs more now than it did a few weeks ago. Very happy with purchase, especially since it was on 40% off sale when I bought it, but not sure I would buy it at current price point. Wish it had another optical input for my BluRay player instead of analog.

135. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?imagine engine Dec 24, 2010 9:36 AM in response to hypergenesbApple iTunes Support got back to me yesterday stating they believe it's an issue with MobileMe and not iTunes. I have been bounced to MobileMe support who I'm waiting on a response. In my case I can sign into iTunes with my own account (main MobileMe address in family pack) but I can't get iTunes to accept the sub-accounts used by my family members. Each time it ask to review and confirm their account information but then pops up a window stating "your request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later". Their iPhone 4 which they'll open for Christmas tomorrow will work to make calls but they won't be able to download anything from the iTunes music app or from the App Store app. This in essence makes both iPhone 4 regular cellphones instead of smartphones. As a long time Apple customer who uses their products for both business and personal use I'm not impressed.
136. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?DonnyGT3 Dec 24, 2010 11:47 PM in response to abigail88I can't seem to access the itunes store in any form on itunes since I downloaded this morning. My internet connection is perfectly fine, but all it is "iTunes Store" on the screen and it shows the loading bar, but no progress. I had no problem with this in the previous version, but for some reason, it refuses to open up.
137. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?passer0 Dec 24, 2010 11:57 PM in response to abigail88would this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2694356&stqc=true have something to do with all this?? im very annoyed right now
138. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?czachry Dec 27, 2010 2:12 PM in response to abigail88I received a new Ipod Touch Model MC544LL for Christmas. Itunes Version 188.8.131.52 would not allow it to sync so I upgraded cautiously to 10.1.1.4. Before upgrading I uninstalled ITunes 126.96.36.199, Quicktime Player, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Bonjour as recommended by Apple. Further I deleted all Apple and Itunes files and folders EXCEPT those in the "My Music" folder. I cleaned the registry using Easy Cleaner and then rebooted and installed 10.1.1.4. I think Apple finally cured their store access issue with this version of Itunes. About time!!! Further it now automatically ejects my Ipods after each sync as it formally did. The only thing it did not cure was syncing all my podcasts to my old Ipod Classic but it does sync all of them to the new Ipod Touch. I think the issue is the Classic does not support HD podcasts. The new 10.1.1.4 version of Itunes asks if you want to only use the SD versions of podcasts and my guess that is the reason they are asking that question. I don't know whether all the producers of the podcasts provide both video versions.
The Ipod Touch is really nice. I would have got that thing years ago if I had understood everything it will do. Like a mini Ipad.
139. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?ProjeKtRed Dec 27, 2010 7:07 PM in response to spiringI can't even down load the latest version version. I think my operating system is too old, I don;t even know what have. All I know is I got my MacBook Pro in 2007. And I just got an iPad and trying to connect to iTunes and it's saying:
We could not complete your iTunes store request. iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. It's already been over 24 hours.
140. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?imagine engine Dec 28, 2010 9:19 AM in response to abigail88I figured out a work around which finally allowed iTunes to accept the MobileMe family sub-accounts. These are the steps I took.
1. Log into MobileMe https://auth.me.com/ using the main MobileMe address.
2. Delete each sub-account in MobileMe.
3. When setting up the same sub-account in MobileMe ensure to choose the option to recover the email address. DOB is to be the DOB of each user, not the main account user.
4. Sign in each user sub-account in iTunes. When it ask you to review enter the credentials of each user (DOB, App Store gift card or credit card, billing address, telephone number).
5. You should see a confirmation page displayed in iTunes indicating the sub-account is now registered in iTunes.
The error I previously had seen in iTunes appears to only impact sub-accounts in the MobileMe family pack. iTunes and MobileMe are not communicating the information properly to each other causing the error "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed, Please try again later". This is seen when clicking confirm on the billing page in iTunes when it ask the user to review their information after signing into iTunes. Previous to deleting the sub-accounts in MobileMe then recovering them I would get this error in iTunes no matter if I used the user credentials or my own.
141. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?reducks Dec 28, 2010 10:37 PM in response to abigail88Here's my problem.
I was using iTunes 10. I've always updated my iTunes whenever there was an update, but frankly, I got tired of iTunes always being so **** slow. So I downgraded to iTunes 7.
Ever since I've uninstalled everything from iTunes 10 + QuickTime, I haven't been able to connect to the store at all. I've installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, couldn't connect. I've shut Kaspersky down, still didn't connect.
So in iTunes I did the Diagnostic Tests and everything passed, no problems at all. I've done the flushDNS command which completed, still won't connect. I keep getting the same error message:
"The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
And I've contacted Apple and all they've said to do was post here. So can anyone help me?
142. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?stupidlogin Dec 28, 2010 11:09 PM in response to abigail88I was...but I just ignored the "can't access itunes store" message and put what I wanted in the search box anyway....and I was in!!
143. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?bru2 Dec 29, 2010 4:15 PM in response to abigail88I was having this issue and posted early on in this thread. I say was because during this my computer blew up and when I got my new one and installed iTunes (v10 vs v8 on the old 'puter) iTunes store works just fine. Still getting used to v10 and since it's a different computer who knows if it would have solved it on the old one but moving to the current iTunes worked.
144. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?prettybatty07 Dec 30, 2010 4:52 AM in response to Cous437How on Earth did you get Tech Support on the phone!?! I am currently in a very slow email correspondence with Tech Support, and I can't seem to make them understand my problem. I want to call a real person and talk to them. Where is the number? Thx!!
145. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?czachry Dec 30, 2010 9:37 AM in response to abigail88Support at Apple does not mean "Tech Support". These chat people at Apple are useless for tech matters. They simply send you templet solutions that do not solve your problem most of the time. They would save themselves a lot of heartburn if they would answer some of the questions on this forum. I got more answers on other forums. Installing ITunes 10.1.1.4 solved most of my issues mentioned earlier but I don't think Apple will ever admit they had problems with their previous ITunes versions. You should not have pay for a phone call to solve these problems. They have beautifully designed products BUT their support is really bad. Took two months to solve this problem for me. ITunes 10.1.0 54 had the problem.
146. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?kristee Dec 30, 2010 1:09 PM in response to abigail88I am also very annoyed with my itunes. I never had this problem with the older version of itunes. Now the itunes store never loads and it says that I'm not connected to the internet yet I am. I have tried emailing the support for itunes and they are pretty much useless. I had already tried the suggestions in the support area and the person who responded from Itunes pretty much just copied and pasted the article. I have all these itune gift cards and I want to update my ipod. If anyone figures out how to fix this problem please post it
147. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?abigail88 Jan 7, 2011 9:28 AM in response to abigail88I finally updated to iTunes 10 and that resolved the problem!
I am now able to access the Store by choosing "iTunes Store" from the menu and so far, everything is working okay.
For those interested, there are some changes with iTunes 10... I did find that I am not able to right-click on an individual song and choose to copy it to my iPod - I now have to click on the song, go to File, then copy and paste the song into the iPod section if I want to just copy a song or two.
Other than that, the basic interface of iTunes is the same, although a bit lighter grey in color. The store layout has changed, but it's still fairly easy to use.
I was also concerned that the songs I had in my iTunes version 8 library would not transfer over to iTunes 10 - they did in fact transfer!
So for those getting the error message I posted about originally, you may want to try updating.
148. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?Mista2 Jan 21, 2011 6:44 PM in response to abigail88My setup is Mac Mini, OS X 10.6.6 iTunes 10.1.1 (4)
My internet connection is fine, I am posting here after all, and my wife is on a VoIP call too. I can browse the store, play previews of videos and songs, but cant sign in to download anything. Just tells me to check my internet connection, as if there could never be a problem at Apple. Oh well, just downloaded elsewhere instead. Your loss Apple.
149. Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?ThisWorked4Me Feb 28, 2011 1:38 PM in response to Mista2This workaround worked for me.
I am getting the same error as the rest of you now for the last 6 months and find i can access the Itunes Store by simply clicking on the Podcasts link, under Library on the left hand toolbar. This presents me a black page but no error. Then i click the Podcasts Directory link at the bottom right, and the Store homepage loads up.
If it helps i am running Itunes version 8.2.20.
Hope it helps.

Families often pull together to help finance a college education, with parents and grandparents chipping in or co-signing loans. And now, a SmartMoney report finds the U.S. government withholding money from Social Security recipients who've stopped paying on federal student loans.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that that a Florida man's children, conceived after his death through in vitro fertilization, are not entitled to Social Security survivors benefits. More than 100 similar cases are pending before the Social Security Administration, but Monday's ruling is unlikely to resolve most of them.
Like a mirror that reflects one's ideology back at the viewer, and no more so than during a general-election year, the political players saw what they wanted, and what they thought was most politically useful to their side, in the reports Monday by the Social Security and Medicare trustees on the long-term prospects for those two entitlement programs.

Two eras clash on Monday at the U.S. Supreme Court, when a law written in 1939 is applied to in vitro fertilization. At issue is whether children conceived through in vitro fertilization after the death of a parent are eligible for Social Security survivors benefits.
At least 100 such cases are pending before the Social Security Administration.

Something to think about the next time you're buying groceries in Iowa City: you can't always trust the labels.
For example, I noticed the other day shopping for medicine in Iowa City that a generic of Benadryl, containing .25 mg tablets of Diphenhydramine, was marketed as an anti allergy drug. From the same company, a "Sleep Aid," was sold nearby. The main ingredient? .25 mg tablets of Diphenydramine.
Through the magic of labeling, a beneficial side effect is turned into the main cause.
Meanwhile, a California mother has taken issue with frozen pizzas sold at Target, Walmart and other local stores. And she's taking this realization that labels lie perhaps a little too far.
Maybe I just knew frozen pizzas were bad for me without reading the label.
Katie Simpson bought frozen pizzas about five times in the past year, including a California Pizza Kitchen Personal Pizza Barbeque Chicken and the same maker's Crispy Thin Crust Pizza Signature Pepperoni.
But when she learned they contained trans fat—an ingredient linked to heart disease, diabetes and cancer—she felt as if she were sold poison.
That's the argument being made in a $5 million federal class-action lawsuit that claims Nestle—makers of DiGiorno, Stouffer's and California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas —is "placing profits over public health" by failing to remove trans fat.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in San Diego on behalf of Simpson, a mother of two young children. Her address isn't given, but she lives in San Diego County.
"The most frequent of Ms. Simpson's purchases of Nestle Trans Fat Pizzas were at the Target located at 2911 Jamacha Road" near Cuyamaca College in Rancho San Diego, said the suit [attached as a PDF].
The lawsuit says the frozen pizzas in question shouldn't contain a toxic food additive banned all over the world, said Greg Weston, an attorney for the plaintiff.
California has banned trans fat in foods served in local restaurants, but no bans on trans fat exist for packaged foods. The cities of New York and Philadelphia are among local governments that have enacted bans against trans fat in restaurant food.
Weston said the suit seeks all monies Nestle has ever made from frozen pizzas.
In a statement, Nestle said it will vigorously defend itself against all "baseless allegations,'' saying its pizza products are in strict compliance with FDA and USDA regulations.
According to California Pizza Kitchen, the case applies only to frozen pizzas, not to restaurants bearing that name.
No hearing date has been set in the case, which has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino. No jury trial has been demanded.

A win-win replacement for Wall Street bonuses
There's a fantastic article on Bloomberg about Wall Streeters crying over their cut pay. Hear the strains of the world's tiniest violins, as grown men whine about not being able to buy $1.5 million houses and missing out on Mardi Gras.
Wall Street is really down in the dumps these days. When you work in an industry where your worth is directly measured in dollars, then earning less will mess you up in all kinds of ways. (Some more pitiful examples here.) But there's a solution to all this that's right under our noses.
New rules under Dodd-Frank have increased financial incentives for whistleblowers. Now anyone who gives the SEC "original information" on their employer's wrongdoing can receive 10% to 30% of any monetary penalties over $1 million. Skeptical? Don't be. Just consider the case of Sherry Hunt.
Sherry Hunt worked for CitiMortgage, a division of Citigroup. She realized that Citi was defrauding the U.S. Federal Housing Administration by getting taxpayer-subsidized insurance on mortgages that were actually ineligible for the FHA program. She filed a federal complaint against the company last year and, just this month, the bank agreed to pay $158.3 million to settle the civil complaint. (Note: Citi made $1.16 billion, or more than 7 times this figure, last year.) How much will Hunt receive? A whopping $31.7 million.
Wall Streeters should follow Hunt's example and jump on the whistleblowing gravy train. This could be a win-win solution.
First off, Wall Streeters get more money in their pocket. A pay-out like Mrs. Hunt's would be AMAZING for a banker at, say, Morgan Stanley, whose cash bonuses were recently capped at $125,000 for last year's performance. Secondly, the Feds will have more and better ammunition to go after the cases of malfeasance. As John Savarese writes for Harvard Law School, SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami has already noted "the overall quality and extent of documentation supporting the tips the SEC is now receiving has improved". Fantastic! (Now, if only the Feds could see their way to criminal charges, not just civil penalties.) Third, turning state's evidence is a much better outcome than becoming the scapegoat. Let's face it, at the end of the day any bank caught in wrongdoing will not hesitate to leave its employees twisting in the wind. (You can ask Jerome Kerviel, who used to work for French bank Societe Generale, all about this.)
Last but not least, this is a chance for Wall Streeters to begin repaying their debt to society. That is, if they care about that sort of thing. If not, well then, just do it for the money.
"Great!" I hear bankers around the world saying right now. "Where do we start?"
Here's the SEC whistleblowing website. As for which case of wrongdoing to start with, how about this one?

THE VATICAN gave its blessing to new fortnightly "gay-friendly" Catholic Masses in the heart of London, it has emerged.
Cardinal William Levada, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, personally authorised the services in Soho in an attempt to end a dispute which has raged since "irregular'. Masses began at St Anne's Anglican Church in Soho shortly after the death of Cardinal Basil Hume in 1999.
The original idea was to offer pastoral care to gay Catholics and their families and friends.
But some Catholics had described the Masses as sacrilegious because they were being organised by people who explicitly rejected Church teaching that gay sexual acts are morally wrong.
Catholic priests from all over the country were also celebrating the Masses without the permission of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster.
Attempts to regulate the Masses were vigorously resisted and the Masses grew in frequency and the numbers of people who attended them increased.
Cardinal Levada found a way through the impasse by moving the Masses to Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Warwick Street and insisting that they must conform to Church doctrine.
He had sought a solution to the crisis for months and eventually agreed a document by the archdiocese after a series of revisions.
Mark Dowd, chairman of Quest, a pastoral support group for gay Catholics, said the document had been rejected by the Vatican "about 10 times".
"But it was finally approved by Cardinal William Levada himself," he said.
Mr Dowd added that Quest might soon write to bishops with large settled gay communities in their dioceses, such as Salford, Birmingham, Nottingham and Leeds, to ask for "gayfriendly" Masses to be established there, too.
Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor had received scores of complaints that the Soho Masses were used to campaign against Church teaching about sexual morality. Catholics also protested directly to the Vatican.
However, announcing the agreement Cardinal MurphyO'Connor said that gays who looked to the Church for 'a place where they might live in authentic human integrity aid holiness of life" would not be ignored.
"In seeking to meet thee pastoral needs there would be no attempt to create separate congregations and exclushe services out of step with the Church's teaching," he addeJ.
The decision to allow tie continuation of the Masses ws nevertheless criticised ly Daphne McCleod of the orthidox Catholic campaign grotp Pro Ecelesia et Pontifice.
"If people are openly livig a gay lifestyle they are in monl sin, and should not be receiviig Communion," she said.
Cardinal Murphy-O'Connr was also rebuked by the Sob Masses Pastoral Councl (SMPC), the group that initiated the Masses almost eigt years ago.
"We rejoice that we at recognised as having a rightfi place at the table of Christ banquet," the SIVIPC said in statement.
"It is regrettable, howeve that there was no direct conve &Ilion with the Canlinal hirasi during the process. As a resul his statement may appear reflect more the concerns the Church's hierarchy rade than the Lived experience : committed LGBT [lesbian, ge bisexual and yansgenderc: Catholics."

Special issue with the Sunday Magazine
MUSIC: November 29, 1998
The bansuri comes alive
Kumar Shahani
Film maker Kumar Shahani, who has a penchant for the abstract and the metaphysical, is now engaged in making an hour long documentary film on the flute. K. K. Mahajan wields the camera for this venture sponsored by the Ministry of External Affairs.
This is not Shahani's first foray into the classical arts in performance. His "Bhavantarana" looked at the Odissi dance genre through the creative genius of Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra. In "Khyal Gatha" he had traced the evolution of the vocal genre which displaced the older dhrupad form, by making his film as if he were exploring a raga.
But how is Shahani going to deal with the current project which admits no narrative prop? How will he transfer an intangible auditory experience into tangible visual images? The film maker shares some ideas with us.
Kalidasa says that a bee stung a bamboo and the flute was born.
Roshan Shahani
Hearing is the last of the senses to be activated in living beings, the other senses had to become operational before hearing was awakened. It is at once an extremely powerful and delicate experience. The process of sifting the natural sounds must have produced speech, and music, it must have generated thought and reflection. To understand this you have to go back to something primordial like the flute, a natural object - unlike the veena which requires tremendous amount of civilisational intervention before coming into being. I refer, of course, to the bamboo flute, our bansuri, not the metal instrument. It is possibly one of the earliest sounds to strike the amphibian ear as life emerged out of the oceans. Creatures under water knew mainly the sense of touch. In fact hearing approximates to the tactile experience.
I feel the flute virtually made the human ear. It taught us to hear. The magic of waking into an auditory world is what makes the legend of Krishna so intimate and dynamic.
In this film the transference of this prehistoric enchantment will have to be very different from even "Khyal Gatha". My method, as always, will rely on vyanjana, suggestive means as opposed to direct statement. It cannot be x + y = z!
I started by listening and recording a lot of music for the film, and reading about the evolution of the instrument in performance, both classical and folk. I am helped a great deal by having Hariprasad Chaurasia for a friend, with whom I have worked before. I had his help in my first feature film "Maya Darpan" and it was his music to which Kelubabu improvised the nava rasas in "Bhavantarana". I did the first thing for this film on the flute by recording a few raags with him. He chose to play "Vatapi Ganapatim" and the accompaniments include a ghatam. I have asked Alarmel Valli to give this a manifestation through the dance. I also hope to get Kelu babu to create something...
Kamal Sahai
I won't deal with my subject only through the dance. I want to get at the spatial dimension of the flute, where the space contains the acoustic impulse, and the suggestion that music gives the evocation of space...
I would like to use the Carnatic flute as well.
I will go into my own kind of narrative. In art you have to create something in the intervals where it is not there, in the pauses and silences , especially in music. Even in the visuals it is the intervals that say everything, they generate a meaning... Hopefully this film on the flute will have the sensuousness of all my films. And I hope all the rasas are present in it, as they are in the true expressions of art.

PLYMOUTH — Jason Wolff, 29, and Jessica Goad, 24, both of Plymouth, were arrested Friday at Carriage Green Apartments after Plymouth police officer John Weir arrived at the apartments to investigate a report of a strange odor. Weir, Corporal Ray West and officer Christopher Miller attempted to make contact with the occupants of the apartment and noticed a male subject climbing out of the balcony. Police eventually kicked in the door to the apartment. An active meth lab was found inside, along with a 2-year-old child. The child was taken into protective custody and transported to the hospital.
MARSHALL CO. — The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for today for the county and surrounding areas.
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth downtown merchants have a way of cooling off the heat of summer with a time honored tradition of some great deals.
This Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Plymouth downtown will take on a festival like atmosphere for the annual Sidewalk Sale days. It's a tradition that goes back 47 years in the community and now includes the Rotary Pancake breakfast to start each day.
MARSHALL CO. — Following a public hearing Monday at the Marshall County Building, county commissioners were unable to come to an agreement regarding golf cart access on county roads.
"I'm seeing three different views by the three different commissioners here," commented commissioner Jack Roose following the end of the discussion Monday.
In the beginning of June, commissioners passed an ordinance on first reading allowing golf cart traffic only on roads with reduced speed limits or in neighborhoods surrounding area lakes and golf courses.
KNOX — Tom Berg, a local radio personality at WKVI in Knox, is one of the newest recipients of a Guinness World Book record for the longest radio broadcast.
Berg began his journey toward the Guinness Monday, July 11 at 5 a.m. and the clock wound down 187 hours later at 12 a.m. Tuesday, July 17 making Berg the winner of the longest broadcast category.
What made this local D.J. embark on such a quest? It's simple, he went looking for a record to challenge and ultimately beat.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) is the biggest overhaul of U.S. national energy policy since 1992. The policy is expected to reduce the national energy demand by 312 megawatts. Carbon emissions will also be reduced by 10 million metric tons. The EPAct hopes to achieve these goals through tax incentives for energy efficient building systems. According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), EPAct will motivate building owners to purchase an estimated $500M in additional lighting systems and products.
To qualify for EPAct incentives, projects must be completed on January 1, 2006 – December 31, 2013. By using Lutron light controls, buildings completed within this timeframe can qualify for EPAct deductions in 3 ways:

Nimravus (Greek for "ancestral hunter"); pronounced nim-RAY-vuss
Woodlands of North America
Historical Epoch:
Oligocene-Early Miocene (30 to 20 million years ago)
Size and Weight:
About 4 feet long and 100 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Short legs; dog-like feet
About Nimravus:
As you travel further and further back in time, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the earliest felines from other predatory mammals. A good example is Nimravus, which was vaguely catlike in appearance with some hyena-like characteristics (the giveaway was this predator's single-chambered inner ear, which was much simpler than that of the true cats that succeeded it). Nimravus is considered to be the ancestor of the "false" saber-toothed cats, a line that includes Dinofelis and Eusmilus. It probably made its living by chasing small, quivering herbivores across the grassy woodlands of North America.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I never thought snacking could be part of a healthy diet. Am I wrong? Can you give me suggestions for healthy snacking?
DEAR READER: Snacking is not automatically unhealthy. In fact, it can be very healthy -- but you have to choose the right foods and eat them in the right amounts.
Plenty of healthy foods are quick and easy to eat. Fruits, veggie sticks and moderate amounts of nuts are all good choices. But even healthy snacks can be unhealthful if you eat too much. Try to keep snacks to around 150 calories.
So what should you snack on? To start, keep some fresh fruit on hand. Bring a banana to work. Keep a bowl of grapes or cherries on the kitchen table.
Dried fruit can be a good choice if you keep portion size reasonable. Both fresh and dried fruits contain plenty of vitamins and fiber.
Try small amounts of unsalted or lightly salted nuts. Almonds, walnuts, cashews and other nuts contain many nutrients. And although some are high in fat, the fat is mainly unsaturated "good" fat. Nuts have lots of calories, though, so keep portion sizes small.
I always have small bags of nuts in my desk drawer. Each bag contains about 100 calories. Either in the middle of the morning or afternoon, when I'm between meals and starting to get hungry, I finish off a bag. But my deal with myself is just one bag a day.
Unsalted seeds are also nutritious and healthy -- sunflower or roasted pumpkin seeds, for example.
Try to eat snacks with a combination of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Have a few nuts (protein and fat) and some grapes (carbohydrate). Eat whole-grain crackers (carbohydrate) with some low-fat cheese (protein and fat).
Mix and match healthy items. Try baby carrots with yogurt. Dip wheat crackers in guacamole. Spread a small amount of peanut butter on apple slices or celery sticks.
