Yellow Mud Turtles (Hatchlings and Yearlings): Kinosternon flavescensCategory: Mud and Musk Turtles Experience Level: Starter [?] DescriptionHere is the friendliest and most personable of all the mud turtles...Once commonly available, Yellow Mud Turtles are now very difficult to find due to prudent collecting restrictions and the declines of wild populations, Yellow Mud Turtles (Kinosternon flavescens) range from Mexico through Texas and into several other states. Easily one of the prettiest of all the muds, Yellow Mud Turtles do well in both tanks and ponds. In the wild, Yellow Mud Turtles eat insects, crustaceans, mollusks, amphibians, fish and plants. Juveniles consume a greater percentage of protein foods than adults. Ours readily take pellets, cut fish and beef heart. This handsome species prefers quiet waters, with soft bottoms. Their yellow to brown shells are smooth and rounded. To escape temperature extremes, Yellow Mud turtles readily burrow into mud or sand - making adults fine outdoor pond turtles in moderate and warmer climates. Unlike other muds and musks, they can easily be seen in garden ponds as well. Also a fine tank turtle, Yellow Mud Turtles are quite active and get along well with most other species of mud and musk turtles. With adults only reaching about 6 inches, Yellow muds are easy to maintain and fascinating to keep. Considering their diminishing availability, setting up a breeding group would be a rewarding project for serious keepers. Pictured are our 2007 & 2008 hatchling Yellow Mud Turtles Also See our juvenile and Adult Yellow Mud Turtles. * Remember, each turtle order comes with a free starter sample of the same Turtle diet your Turtle has been raised on - this will last one small turtle a few weeks - to order larger quantities, see the lower left side of this page. * Terms & ConditionsPlease read and review carefully before purchasing.

2007 All-ACC Football Teams Announced
Nov. 26, 2007 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Georgia Tech placed eight players on The Associated Press All-Atlantic Coast Conference teams announced Monday. Divisional winners Boston College and Virginia Tech each landed seven players on the first and second teams, while Clemson had a total six selections and Wake Forest had five. The Yellow Jackets had five players on the first team, while both the Hokies and Tigers had four first-team selections. Virginia defensive end Chris Long was the only unanimous selection by the 73 voting members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. Long led the league and ranked third nationally with 13½ sacks. Two other players received 143 of a possible 146 voting points - Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan and Georgia Tech running back Tashard Choice. Ryan averages a league-best 329 yards per game, and Choice is the league's leading rusher and is the only player in the ACC averaging more than 100 yards per game. Each of the 12 schools had at least one first-team selection except the three in the North Carolina triangle of Duke, North Carolina and North Carolina State. The Tar Heels had four second-teamers, while NC State had two and the Blue Devils landed one. Yellow Jackets teammates joining Choice on the first team were offensive tackle Andrew Gardner, defensive tackle Vance Walker, punter Durant Brooks and kicker Travis Bell. Clemson's first-teamers include running back James Davis, receiver Aaron Kelly, offensive tackle Barry Richardson and guard Chris McDuffie. Three Hokie defenders made the first team - defensive end Chris Ellis, linebacker Xavier Adibi and cornerback Victor "Macho" Harris - joining kick returner Eddie Royal. Boston College players joining Ryan on the first team include tight end Ryan Purvis and safety Jamie Silva. The Atlantic Division champion Eagles play Virginia Tech of the Coastal Division on Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla., for a berth in the Orange Bowl. Kenneth Moore, who averages a league-best 7.25 receptions per game, is one of three players from Wake Forest to make the first team, joining center Steve Justice and cornerback Alphonso Smith, who led the ACC with eight interceptions. Virginia guard Branden Albert rounded out the rest of the first-team offense. The first-team defense also included defensive tackle Dre Moore and linebacker Erin Henderson, Florida State linebacker Geno Hayes and Miami safety Kenny Phillips. The 2007 Associated Press All-ACC football team NOTE: A first-team vote was worth two points and second team vote one. An asterisk denotes unanimous selection.

Social Action Column
We invite representatives from Social Action groups from individual congregations to post articles about UU climate or energy related activities and other topics of interest. For information about posting, please see this: Illustrative Resource for Posting. Also send a message HERE if you want to write an article.
For example, here are actions on climate taken by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Monmouth County, New Jersey (UUCMC).
The UUCMC congregation unanimously passed a position Statement of Action on Climate Change as described in the press release (see HERE and also the UUCMC website).
HERE is a talk on climate change at the UUCMC as part of it's Social Action program.
The UUCMC established a Climate Change Action Team. Its first action was a "Counter the Contrarians" series of three classes to learn how to respond to fallacious climate contrarian arguments, which are obstructing a sound climate policy in the US.
These classes lead to formulation of the "one-liner" responses to contrarian fallacies, now posted on the popular website skepticalscience.com.
The Social Action Committee recently passed THIS resolution against the Clean Energy budget cuts in New Jersey.
The UUCMC participated in the UUA's 40/40/40 ethical eating initiative, and this was reported in the local press in an big article with pictures.
The UUCMC installed solar panels on the roof a few years ago. Temperature control is used for energy conservation.
HERE is a report of the UUCMC Seventh Generation project.

Bloomberg's Adam Johnson: "Imports AND exports better than forecast; 18 hours ago German factory orders better and U.S. job postings up ... Connect the dots." Shanghai (FXI, CAF) +0.7%, Hong Kong (EWH) +0.8%. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 22, 11:08 PM China's flash HSBC PMI for April slides to 50.5, missing expectations by a full point and against March's read of 51.6. "New export orders contracted after a temporary rebound in March, suggesting external demand for China's exporters remain weak," says HSBC. "Weaker overall demand has also started to weigh on employment in the manufacturing sector." Shanghai (FXI, CAF) is off 1.5 in early trade. Hong Kong (EWH) -0.9%. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 22, 3:44 PM Hong Kong home prices could fall up to 25%, according to Sanford Bernstein, after the government stepped up efforts to curb the bubbly market. In early returns, home prices fell 1.4% in the week ended April 14, the 4th consecutive decline and the biggest drop since 2010. Developer shares make up a nice portion of the EWH, +2.6% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Sunday, April 14, 11:01 PM Chinese Q1 GDP growth disappoints, rising 7.7% Y/Y vs. 8% expected, and slowing from 7.9% in Q4. March industrial production misses expectations of 10% growth, rising just 8.9%. Retail sales, however, beats forecasts, rising 12.6% vs. 12.3% expected. Asia's taking a bit of a tumble, Shanghai -0.6%, and the Hang Seng -1.6%. The aussie (FXA) slides 0.6% to $1.0463. 13 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 5, 4:02 AM While Japanese shares rose, stocks in the rest of Asia suffered ahead of U.S. nonfarm payroll data and after weekly jobless claims disappointed yesterday. Hong Kong equities fell sharply amid reports of deaths from avian flu, with airline stocks particularly affected. South Korean shares again dropped as North Korea continued with its brinkmanship, while the weak yen hurt auto shares. Hong Kong -2.6%, China closed, India -0.1%, South Korea -1.6%. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Friday, March 22, 9:02 AM Mortgage rates are rising in Hong Kong and it could lead to a 20% drop in property prices over the next 2 years, according to Deutsche Bank. On top of higher rates are government efforts at curbing real estate. Developers are responding - cutting prices along with sales and earnings projections. EWH flat YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, March 4, 6:51 AM Shanghai plunges 3.7% after the government further cranks up property tightening measures, with a gauge of property developers falling 9.3%. "When there are new rules like these, it extends far beyond property shares," says an analyst. Industrial Bank -9.1%. FXI -1.8% premarket. Losses extend to Hong Kong, EWH -0.7% premarket, and the States, SPY -0.5%. 11 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 26, 7:49 AM Chinese banks (CHIX) tumble more than 2% after front-page commentary in the China Securities Journal suggests monetary policy needs to be tightened. Developers (TAO) doubled that decline as another report says Beijing has completed a draft of property tightening measures. The Hang Seng's (EWH) 1.3% slide puts it in the red for the year. Shanghai -1.4%. FXI -6% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, February 22, 7:05 AM Along with China renewing its push for property curbs is Hong Kong which last night doubled to 8.5% the transfer tax on property costing more than $258K (likely about 100% of transactions!). This comes following an earlier move to widen the transfer tax to include commercial purchases. EWH +1.9% YTD. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Friday, January 18, 7:52 AM FXI +0.6% premarket after China reported speedier than expected Q4 GDP growth overnight. The Shanghai Composite rose 1.4%. The Hang Seng (EWH) +1.1%. A separate report shows home prices rising in 54 out of 70 tracked cities, the most in 20 months. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, January 9, 10:50 AM International allocations are sharply higher at Windhaven Asset Management - an arm of Schwab and the biggest player in ETF-managed portfolios.

- Monday, December 31, 2012, 11:56 AM More details on iShares' ETF fee hikes: Going to 0.53% from 0.52% (a 1.9% hike) are its Ireland Capped Investable Market Fund (EIRL), Australia Fund (EWA), Canada Fund (EWC), Hong Kong Fund (EWH), Belgium Capped Fund (EWK), Switzerland Fund (EWL), Malaysia Fund (EWM), Netherlands Investable Market Fund (EWN), Spain Fund (EWP), France Fund (EWQ), Singapore Fund (EWS), United Kingdom Fund (EWU), Mexico Investable Market Fund (EWW) and EMU Fund (EZU). 2 Comments [Global & FX]

- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 7:35 AM Hong Kong gets a warning from the IMF, which says it's at risk of an abrupt decline in property prices following a doubling over the past 4 years. The property sector, says the IMF, makes up about half of outstanding loans in the banking system there. EWH +25% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 8:56 AM Index selection matters. The Shanghai Composite - trade is limited to mainlanders - makes headlines for hitting multiyear lows, but Hong's Kong's China Index is up 6% YTD, suggesting foreign investors see value. Also helping in Hong Kong is the higher relative weighting of real estate companies (TAO +52% YTD). On the other hand, struggling miners make up a greater weighting in Shanghai. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 8:55 AM A 3% gain in property developers helps halt a slide in Shanghai, +0.9% overnight, but -4.3% for the month. The Shanghai Composite is off 10% YTD, on track for its 3rd consecutive down year. The only positive group is the Property Index, up 11%. China Real Estate ETF: TAO +58.6%. Hong Kong ETF: EWH +23.9% YTD. There are areas of exposure to China doing very well. Comment! [Global & FX]

Asus introduces the affordable yet feature-rich dual-processor server motherboard – the KCMA-D8. Based on the AMD SR5670 and SP5100 chipsets, the board supports dual up-to-date Opteron 4100 processors with industry-leading performance-per-watt. 8 x DIMMs support up to 128GB RDIMM or 32GB UDIMM DDR3 1333/1066/800 memory. The 12"x10" ATX form factor offers unmatched flexibility when building server systems.
Built with both durability and energy efficiency in mind, the KCMA-D8 utilizes high quality components including 100% ultra long life solid capacitors and molding choke, providing the durability, reliability and over 85% power efficiency essential to server and workstation environment. The KCMA-D8 supports Promise Software RAID on motherboard for fast, efficient, and reliable RAID configuration and Asus PIKE SAS2 6G Storage for flexible and scalable storage solutions. Optional ASMB4-iKVM allows for convenient, real-time remote management.

Usable but Ultimately DisappointingPros: ATX format, PCI-E x16 slot, arrived with the latest BIOS supporting Opteron 4300 series, great fan control keeping machine both cool and quiet, thoroughly configurable BIOS options with great administrative features like KVM over IP and network booting. Cons: Two USB ports. No, seriously. TWO. Two of them! BIOS will only let you configure the six available SATA (1-4, 5-6) ports as either IDE+IDE, AHCI+AHCI, RAID+RAID, RAID+IDE but *NOT* RAID+AHCI. Uses a proprietary add-on SAS/RAID solution ('PIKE') that costs well over $100 and would make this board almost as expensive as the competing Tyan product, no onboard audio, remote administration also requires an additional proprietary add-on module (ASMB4-iKVM) which I believe is around $80 (though not currently offered by Newegg), unbelievably long boot time. Other Thoughts: Because of the limited SATA port configuration options available in the BIOS, my main boot drive, a Samsung 840 Pro series SSD had to be installed as RAID to reap any benefits of its performance over using IDE and still be able to use a RAID array with other drives on the remaining ports. However, despite Windows 7 Pro x64 installing without issue to the SSD, it and the Samsung Magician software do not recognize it for what it is, so it ultimately underperforms in Windows. TRIM appears to work, fortunately, and the Samsung Magician software can scan it, and update the firmware, but cannot run any performance tests on it or erase it. Almost all of the application's options are grayed out. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great board for budget serverPros: I have owned the board for over a year. Running dual quad core processors with 16GB of DDR3 ram and a 32GB OCZ SSD. Originally installed VMware ESXI 5.0 and updated to 5.1 a few months ago. Great hardware to run vm's on. Great motherboard to expand on. Cons: First motherboard I received was not powering up correctly being an electronics techniction in trade pulled out the multimeter and found a schematic online and found that there was a bad capacitor on the board. Got an RMA from newegg and had it replaced within a week. Sometimes you can't help manufacturing defects which in my opinion should not effect the overall rating of the product. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good board, but one big issuePros: Lots of features, good performance. Used it in 2 different server builds Cons: The graphics on this board always lag, no matter what processor or OS I've used. Other Thoughts: I would buy this board again, allowing I knew the bios wouldn't be an issue. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works as expectedPros: Server board in ATX formfactor. I bought this board to run with Hyper-V server. Specs: Cons: There are no cons when this is used as a server board. Did you find this review helpful? |
something just isn't rightPros: nice dual socket mobo with lots of cool things to play with. Cons: from the start, one of my ram slots would not start, dimm_C2. It would boot to an error saying this slot has not passed ram checks, from here i can either boot with 3 sticks or go into settings. I moved all my sticks around to every configuration, but still dimm c2 would not work.. I thought it was one of my cpus, replaced and still have problem. Updated bios, no change. The bios in system information says 12gb ram, but when I boot into windows it says 16gb (12 usable) weird? gentoo detects 12gb. Other Thoughts: buying non-popular boards makes it hard for any forum or online support because there is a small community.... aka there is almost nothing online about this board, even after a year that I've had this. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: A lot of hardware packed into a small budget. Over a year running with dual six-core Opterons and this board hasn't skipped a beat once. No complaints. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Been Working WellPros: Been running this board in a server with 2 Opteron 6-core processors for a year now and there have only been a couple small hiccups with the system and I couldn't point any of them to this board. It has been a great board for the price. Cons: The onboard video isn't very good. If you have to run a Windows based OS on the system you really need to add a different video card into the system. Other Thoughts: If I needed to build another server with this processor I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. Did you find this review helpful? |
2nd of 2 boards bought DOAPros: Initially thought that the board is a great deal for the features vis-a-vis price. Bought 2 boards. First one worked fine and server was up and performing well. Cons: The first board was okay. When I installed the second board, it does not boot, no display. CPU fan seems okay. Tried to do all possible checks including CMOS reset - nada! I'm worried now that I got a lemon on this one. What shall I do? I don't want to go through the hassle that others experienced with ASUS support. Should I just throw this board and buy a different brand? Other Thoughts: I don't want to waste all new parts 2 4200 cpus, fans, etc. Any recommendation for a better MOBO alternative is appreciated. For all my server builds/upgrades, I will be concerned with ASUS. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Really Asus?Pros: Newegg waived return shipping for exchange on a Tyan MOBO which is working like a champ and has top notch support. Cons: I got a DOA MOBO in November 2011. Asus just wrote a response in June 2012 telling me to update the BIOS for to CPUs that weren't even available on Newegg when I bought this thing almost a year ago. Why respond to a 8 months old DOA review other than to attempt to negate it? Other Thoughts: Asus, you never responded to emails and/or calls when I needed you to --so I sent your DOA crud back. Trying to respond 8 months later is just bad form. You've botched that one big time. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Endless reboots, fixedPros: Great feature-rich board Cons: Initially had endless reboot of Centos6 with no apparent log entries -- disable PowerNow in BIOS fixed that Did you find this review helpful? |

Wind Turbines Birds
Posted by windturbinescost in Wind Turbines Birds, tags: wind turbine bird kills, Wind Turbines Bird, Wind Turbines Birds, Wind Turbines Birds deaths, Wind Turbines Birds injured each yearWind Turbines Birds
An alarming amount of news has come into discussion regarding wind turbines birds and how many birds are injured each year because of the use of windmills. However, the facts when it comes to wind turbines birds injuries are sometimes highly exaggerated and sometimes statistics do not tell the entire story.
Wind Turbines Birds Death – Not as high as many other sources of bird casualties
As you can see from the above graph, there are many other causes of bird injuries compared with with turbines. Power lines create up to 170 million deaths a year, while if there was wind turbines, the amount of those deaths would be drastically decreased! For this fact alone, many wind turbines birds deaths while this would account for a certain amount of deaths, it would be much less than power lines and other causes of this problem. Some individuals may be concerned with the type of wind turbines birds deaths that are caused by the turbines. Since many turbines use sharp blades to harvest their energy, the birds that are flying through can be horribly killed when they fly through. However, when cats hunt birds and kill them, often times they will use their razor sharp claws to shred their bodies. Also, many birds are electrocuted by power lines as this also seems like a terrible way to die.
Wind Turbines Birds Injuries Information:
After reading the above information, the question is why are so many people outraged about wind turbines injuring birds? The answer is that the people concerned possibly are unaware of the other types of bird deaths that are caused by objects. Since cats kill the majority of birds, should we ban them from our town? As you can see, this would be ridiculous. Wind turbines birds casualties are necessary to saving the planet by providing a renewable source of energy and the mass production of them may even save birds as the alternative is them being killed via power lines.

Engineering Faculty and Philadelphia Housing Authority Partner on Energy Efficient Housing
May 10, 2010 CAEE assistant professors Drs. Jin Wen and Patrick Gurian and four of their students are working with the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) to research technologies that are most energy efficient for PHA residences.
Since October 2009, the CAEE team has measured the efficiency of solar panels, green roofs and other sustainable methods on PHA properties. The data is then used by PHA almost immediately on current building projects. Among the team's findings is that solar hot water panels are better than photovoltaics (arrays of cells that convert solar radiation into direct current electricity) for buildings with more than 80 units.
"It is rewarding for our students to see how the data they are collecting is already being used by the PHA to create cost and energy-efficient homes," said Wen. "They are applying knowledge learned in the classroom to make a difference in their communities. "

Definition of couture: the design and manufacture of fashionable clothes to a client's specific requirements and measurements.
Definition of haute couture: expensive, fashionable clothes produced by leading fashion houses.
— Oxford Online Dictionaries
PARIS — Your dressmaker is a couturier; so are Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani and Jean Paul Gaultier. But the latter three are also haute couturiers, members of the exclusive Parisian club called the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture.
Last week, there were just 14 members, eight correspondents (those are houses not based in Paris, like Valentino or Armani), and four invitees that showed collections for the upcoming spring-summer season in the splendid palaces, gardens, hotels and ateliers of the city.
And for the first time, one invitee was Canadian. Rad Hourani, 30, who was born in Jordan and started his fashion career as a model scout and stylist in Montreal, drew an eclectic crowd of perhaps 100 to the Centre Culturel Canadien on the rue de Constantine in the 7th arrondissement.
Rather than being greeted by the phalanx of handsome young men guarding the doors at most shows in Paris, Hourani's guests passed through a metal detector to enter the Canadian government centre, with their bags deposited on a conveyor belt to go through an X-ray machine.
Inside, there was no imported forest (Chanel at the Grand Palais), no formal garden (Dior at the Tuileries) and no grand gilded ballroom (Zuhair Murad at the Westin Vendôme), but two stark white rooms, with white benches and marble fireplaces.
And there was not a single ruffle, feather, embroidery or headdress — hallmarks of the handwork of haute couture — although the finale featured models in black masks modelled on Hourani's own face.
But of course, Hourani is presenting a new vision of couture, or at least fashion — minimalist, modern and unisex, in black and white.
Here is the description of one outfit (of 22 shown) from the line sheet, translated from the French: "Unisex ensemble #16, black and white: Jacket length 3, inserted collar, trompe l'oeil fabric on back. Vest, no sleeves, length 2, double lapel, trompe l'oeil on back. Pants with side yoke."
The effect of those full-length ensembles, modelled by young men and women in bowl-cut wigs, built layer upon layer, was regal. Indeed, Hourani says his buyers are prominent artists, celebrities or royals from all corners of the world. A pair of pants might cost $5,000 to $11,000, vests $9,000 to $15,000 and jackets $10,000 to $50,000.
By contrast, a vest/dress from the RAD by Rad Hourani ready-to-wear line, sold online and at Reborn in Montreal, costs $800, a jacket of leather and wool, $1,185.
Hourani launched his brand five years ago, with the unique notion that clothes should be unisex. He created what he calls a unisex canvas, after spending a year studying the body, man's and woman's.
But couture has a level of luxury beyond ready to wear.
"Each piece has been remade and remade until it was perfect for me," he said.
"A couture garment, the inside is as perfect as the outside. The way we construct couture is completely different, with duchesse satin for lining. Every detail is calculated."
The RAD line is made in Montreal, couture in Paris.
Fashion, it is said, must move forward. What was shocking yesterday — women in pants, mini-skirts, belly-baring jeans — is à la mode today, outdated tomorrow. Hourani, with his unisex vision, was not alone in challenging norms last week: Dutch designer Iris van Herpen showed remarkable 3D fabrics; Maison Martin Margiela used thousands of metallic candy wrappers fused on silk for three outfits in its continued pushing of the envelope. (And yes, there were beaded masks.)
"I see couture as a history of understanding a tradition and paying respect to all the craftsmanship that goes into making a garment," Hourani said.
"But that doesn't mean you have to look dated or old. For me, it's the savoir-faire in every garment you do.
"I like to make myself dream, but not something with flowers and plumes. I think I can make myself dream of a new world that is modern and slick and graphic and clear and functional at the same time."
"It's a new vision of couture," said Thierry-Maxime Loriot, who knows a thing or two about haute couture as curator of the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Loriot has been touring the world with the show, From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, since it closed in Montreal in October 2011. The show has been to Dallas, Texas, San Francisco, Calif., and Madrid, and opens in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in February.
"There is a future for this kind of couture for men and women," Loriot said, acknowledging that it is not the couture of Chanel, Dior or Givenchy. But he said there is complexity in its simplicity and that the importance in couture is to see the work up close, one of the reasons to see the Gaultier exhibition.
At a couture show, the garment stays on the runway for a minute and a half, Loriot pointed out. "Somebody spent 500 hours on (making) it. It's cruel."
Patti Wilson, a prominent New York stylist and fashion editor who has worked with Hourani for three years, was backstage with the designer before the show, wearing a jacket of his design and rubber-edged Prada oxfords as she consulted with Hourani well out of this reporter's earshot.
"The unisex thing is definitely a must. Especially the younger kids now — they don't want to wear ruffles and chiffons," Wilson said after the show. "It's really forward."
Hourani is giving us something more sophisticated than a ruffle, she said.
"It's just so correct. Right now, it's all about simplicity," she said of the trend to minimalism in fashion.
Paris in the winter is still lovely, but melancholy, the skies grey, the air damp. It snowed, sleeted and rained, and the snow stayed on the ground, which was slippery and wet. There was much picture-taking in the Place Vendôme and the same level of complaint about the weather as when Montreal gets, say, -40 C with wind chill. The slick pavements and cobblestones didn't stop the haute-couture clients, celebrities and journalists with drivers from venturing out in stilettos. There was Carine Roitfeld, former editor of Vogue and now editor of her own CR magazine, tottering in five-inch Louboutin booties up the steps to the Grand Palais for Chanel, and the usually practical Inès de la Fressange, all preppy in pink and navy blue, in barely there kitten heels. At Zuhair Murad, at a noon show just before Hourani's presentation, extreme platform Loubs, cocktail dresses and a shot or more of Botox were out in full force, along with one woman in a pink pantsuit and matching sparkly minaudière fit for an evening gala. But this is couture, and what to wear is no small matter.
(I myself spent an afternoon at Galeries Lafayette seeking a pair of motorcycle boots with good tread to navigate the slippery streets, to no avail.)
The delight is in the details in couture. Invited to the Chanel haute-couture salon, I made my way up the famous mirrored stairway to inspect the handiwork up close. Today, in this post-industrial age, les petites mains in the historic ateliers of Paris still spend hundreds, even thousands, of hours beading a single garment. Here a butterfly appliqué edged in shimmering gold, there a row of crystal butterfly buttons on frills. Feathers, chiffons, sequins, multi-coloured floral sequins and appliqués and those shimmering tweed suits hung in the glass closets — lovely to behold — and we were even allowed to touch!
Haute couture, a protected appellation in France, like Champagne or Bordeaux, is often described as a laboratory of fashion. Those labs have been known to produce extravagance in the extreme, with ensembles of feather headdresses, riots of ruffles, acres of chiffon, lace and beading worked for hundreds of hours by hand, bizarre or disturbing metal or beaded face masks.
Haute couture has also been criticized as irrelevant and excessive, worn by just a few hundred women in the world. A dress can cost $100,000, perhaps more. These days, some houses — Chanel, Armani Privé and Valentino — seem to be thriving, regularly dressing celebrities for the red carpet and apparently gaining burgeoning client lists from Asia and Russia to the Middle East.
Hourani was invited this season by the Fédération Française de la Couture, which takes in the Chambre Syndicale, after a trial show last July and sponsorship by a member, Sidney Toledano, CEO of Dior. There were also words of encouragement from Didier Grumbach, president of the Fédération and the Chambre.
"We saw his work, and there is reason to support him because he has talent," Grumbach said last summer.
Toledano was not at the show last week; Grumbach was. "It was a good start," Grumbach said after the show. "He is not in haute couture. He is an invited member. Clearly, he has his own style. We will see how he will evolve."
The rules of haute couture are arcane and precise: for the right to the appellation, the house must show 25 outfits, for day and evening, twice a year, with everything made by the house's own atelier, which has at least 20 employees. One must maintain those showings and standards for four seasons before one may be invited to become a permanent member.
After a stop in Montreal this week, Hourani is off to New York to show his RAD line, but not in a runway presentation this time. At Montreal Fashion Week next week, there will be a series of fashion films, including a tribute to Hourani. And Hourani hopes to celebrate his fifth anniversary in Montreal with an exhibition, as an acknowledgment of what this city has given him. If he has a permanent address, it would be at his atelier- gallery on the rue Charlot in the Marais.
The big question is whether he will again be invited to be part of the haute-couture calendar.
"It's already a great privilege and honour for me to be here. Where it's going to take me — I think it's a continuation that's going to happen on and on," Hourani said.
"Being on the calendar changed everything completely."
Asked what the future may hold for Hourani, Grumbach replied:
"He has around him a monastic aspect. It's not quite a sect, but it is something that strongly resembles a determined social group.
"It corresponds to an attitude that is very contemporary. It's really interesting. It is a way of presenting oneself that is not ours. It's a declaration."

That depends.
For the schematic symbol, just open up the symbol drawing, edit it and use Swap/Block Update to update it for all the drawings in the project.
For the panel symbol, most ACE symbols do not have the attributes stored in them. You will need to add them to the symbol yourself if you want them in a specific location. ACE uses the wd_ptag*.dwg files to add the attributes to each footprint upon insertion.
I tend to just add the attributes that I want to be on each footprint because I do not like the default locations.

There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.

Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
A Pastor's Approach to Science
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Mystery and Faith
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the importance and meaning of mystery in the Bible.
Science and Faith: From Collision to Collaboration
in Genesis two, God calls humankind to know and study the surrounding world. The scriptures say that Adam took on the God-given task of naming the animals, which is, in fact, science: the exploration of the natural world.
Of all the blessings to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, none of them surpasses the riches of the eternal blessings which the Lord has bestowed on his sons and daughters in Christ Jesus.
Saturday Sermon: The Failure of Religion
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
Seeing the Flood Story Through an Ancient Israelite Lens
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Breaking Free of the Enlightenment's Shackles
Pete Shaw, the senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church in Napa California, offers a brief history of the interactions between science and faith in the first segment of his sermon.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Confidence and Slippery Slopes
In today's video, Pastor Brian McClaren notes that the metaphor "slippery slopes" is problematic, because we often assume that we are on the top of the slope to begin with, when in fact changing our views may help us ascend the slope, or to reach a new peak of understanding on the other side.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
Saturday Sermon: John Piper on Genesis 1:26-28
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."

Iman Williams – "Ordinary Love + Float Away" (Remixes)
Friday, May 13th, 2011At the end of 2010, Futuristic Soul Society member, Iman Williams released her debut album, Stupid Human Tricks, which was produced by BusCrates 16-Bit Ensemble. Now with remixes of "Ordinary Love" produced by BusCrates 10-Bit Ensemble and "Float Away" featuring Porsche Smith and produced by Atlanta-based DJ Apple Jac, we can safely call Stupid Human Tricks the album that keeps on giving. DJ Apple Jac gives "Float Away" a new dimension of a quasi-80s groove as Porsche Smith and Iman's vocals truly float over the track and BusCrates turns "Ordinary Love" into a true two-step hip hop dirty groove with ill keys. Both remixes are available on the Futuristic Soul Society Bandcamp page, but get a taste of "Float Away" while you're here.

According To Mayor Bloomberg, "Size Matters"
Written by ppmgblog2 on June 1, 2012.
Wait a minute… Syria is burning, political campaigns are out-attacking each other, Europe is struggling under Spain and Greece's debt-ridden governments — and Bloomberg is focusing on fighting obesity by prohibiting the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants and other locations across the five boroughs – under the banner of fighting obesity.
Bloomberg is proposing to ban the sale of sodas and other sugary drinks that are more than 16 fluid ounces in restaurants, movie theaters and other establishments. This proposal is to be submitted to the NYC Board of Health on June 12. Bloomberg said his plan is part of an effort "to encourage people to live longer. This is something we think we have the legal authority to do."
For one thing cutting down from a 32-ounce soda to a 16-ounce one is not going to bring down any pounds very quickly, whereas cutting, let's say, 5000 calories a day down to 2,000, just might. For another, New Yorkers can still get their 32 ounces of soda, if they wish, by cleverly ordering two 16-ounce ones, which is allowed under this proposal. And here is another thing… Refills are allowed. As such, it's quite easy to turn a 16-ounce soda into many, many 32-ounce ones – if you do the math.
What about banning ice cream? Fat burgers? Fries? Chilidogs? By the way, a milk shake or a sweetened latte that is larger than 16 ounces would be allowed.
Madness… Look, nobody will ever say that sodas are good for you, but nor will they say that by reducing the size of a soda intake, there will be a significant downturn in the health hazards caused by obesity.
Here's a message for Bloomberg: Get rid of your "nanny" image (so nicknamed by his own New Yorkers) and get over this nonsense that soda size matters in the long run. There is no scientific evidence of this being a major driver in causing obesity. Let educators, counselors, psychiatrists, as well as weight clinics, take the lead in food choices in fighting obesity problems and take on the job of "regulating" school lunches as to healthy choices or mandating more PE and doing away with school soda machines.
If Mayor Bloomberg wants to duplicate the successes he had in banning smoking back in 2002 with banning something to do with obesity, pick on something other than soda or sugary drink size.
It is not only nonsensical, but will be ineffective in making a dent in the obesity epidemic.

i-Gov Governance Model
ictQATAR has developed an effective governance model for i-Gov involving the highest level of government and a broad range of stakeholders, giving the program full political top-down and bottom-up support. This is achieved through the regular meeting of various levels of management committees.
i-Gov Steering Committee - chaired by the secretary general of ictQATAR, this committee includes the directors of the General Information Management Office (GIMO), Strategic Planning and the i-Gov program manager. It meets monthly to discuss and resolve external stakeholder issues.
Program Management Committee - chaired by the director of GIMO and includes the i-Gov Program Manager, GIMO Platform and Operations Managers, and the section manager of the i-Gov project Management Office. The committee meets every two weeks to review progress and discuss deliverable and directional issues.
Project Steering Committees - these committees are chaired by the lead organizations within a specific project which will either be ictQATAR or a government entity. Their purpose is to oversee the progress of specific projects. The committees will include representatives from different entities and GIMO projects managers who are able to give directional advice to external stakeholders.
Project Delivery Teams - composed of stakeholders and ictQATAR members, with the latter providing the technical knowhow. They are in charge of project delivery.
User Committees - meetings relating to cross-governmental initiatives which are attended by relevant experts and the stakeholders in the initiative. The meetings provide progress reports and reviews and ensure the quality of project deliverables
There are also quarterly ICT forums which are attended by all government Chief Information Officers and ICT managers. The i-Gov program officers share progress reports with respect to new initiatives, improvements, policies, requirements and experiences with the attendees and receive feedback. This encourages broad participation, an exchange of information, expertise and knowledge as well as the development of a professional IT community.

WNBC Reports on Flu Season at St. Joseph's
The flu is now an epidemic in New Jersey. Hospitals in New Jersey have reported major increases in flu cases over the past few weeks.
Mark Rosenberg, DO, Chairman, Emergency Medicine at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson New Jersey gave a telephone interview to explain the influx at St. Joseph's.
"On monday we saw an unprecendented level of patients in the emergency department. We saw almost 520 cases, not all the flu, but on a normal day we would see closer to 400. Because of the storm (Hurricane Sandy) because of the stress it does lower the resistance and make people more susceptible to illnesses and particularly viruses."

Related Attorney(s): Micah A. Bonaviri, Caroline Ford Bonaviri, David S. De Jong, Ann G. Jakabcin, David B. Torchinsky , Steven A. Widdes,
Media Type: AlertOn December 17, 2010, President Obama signed a new tax law that modified the estate tax for 2011 and 2012. Specifically, a decedent dying during 2012 will have an exemption from estate tax of $5.12 million. Any assets with a value in excess of this amount will be subject to a 35% estate tax. These federal laws are only temporary and we are unsure what the laws will be for 2013.
Although the federal estate tax exemption is currently $5.12 million, the Maryland and D.C. estate tax exemptions are $1 million today while no estate tax is imposed in Virginia. The federal and especially the state exemption amount can be used up quickly by life insurance death benefits that, while typically income-tax-free, are includable in your estate if you own the policy or have rights to it.
A properly drafted Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust ("ILIT") provides a number of useful estate planning benefits. Perhaps the most common reason to use an ILIT is to remove the life insurance proceeds from both the grantor's and the spouse's taxable estate while allowing the proceeds to be available to meet the needs of the surviving spouse and descendants. However, it is important to ensure that the grantor does not retain any "incidents of ownership" over the policies that would cause the insurance proceeds to be included in the grantor's estate. Accordingly, the ILIT is intended to be the owner and the beneficiary of the life insurance policy.
There are additional reasons why an ILIT may be useful:
A properly drafted ILIT can accomplish many estate planning objectives. However, because of strict IRS guidelines, it is crucial that certain drafting and procedural requirements be followed to ensure that the beneficiaries realize the full benefits offered by the ILIT.
If you have any questions about this or other estate planning issues, please call 301-340-2020.

Newest Garden Products on the Market
Trade shows and consumer shows are not the same type of events. A consumer show is one that is open to the public – like a home show.

ROTC @story TONYA MCCOY @images CATHERINE FREDERICK
Long before he was President, a much younger Bill Clinton stopped by for breakfast here. The late business mogul Don Tyson, of Tyson Foods, ate lunch here. And get this, the Senior Vice President of Worldwide Policy for drug giant Pfizer used to be a cook here. Restaurant On The Corner and Grill, or as Fayetteville locals call it "ROTC," has a rich history. But whether it's the tradition, the friendships, or the cuisine, patrons refused to let a recent fire burn out this nostalgic corner of their past.
On December 22, 2009, a fire alarm went off at ROTC and firefighters rushed to the restaurant to put out the flames. After an investigation, firefighters said that a trashcan on top of an extension cord which had been running electricity through a compressor could have been to blame.
That evening, after the fire, friends and family stopped by ROTC to survey the damage. Owner T.L. Nelms says they stood on the patio drinking warm beer. "A lot of it was burned up, but we had to test it to make sure." T.L. has kept his sense of humor about these things. (He even has memories of a local top executive who used to dress up as 70's Budweiser commercial super hero, the Bud Man, but we won't go into that.)
Despite appearances, the restaurant was not a total loss. However, the smoke, water and fire damage totaled a hefty $75,000.To make matters worse, T.L. did not have fire insurance. "Most of the damage was from smoke. Every square inch of this building, every- square- inch, was covered with black soot. Even inside the filing cabinets was covered. Every square inch of this building had to be scrubbed."
At first the job of cleanup and rebuilding seemed daunting for T.L., and he thought he'd have to close the doors forever. "Originally I said. 'Well, we can sell the property and they'll bulldoze the building and we won't have to clean it up.'"
The ROTC extended family did not want to see the place go. "I was ready to give it up, and everybody started showing up and pitching in. And it was all volunteers. If it wasn't for the volunteers it would have never happened. We would have never reopened." Even Don Tyson and other community businessmen donated money to help with expenses.
And this March marks the one year anniversary of the reopening of ROTC. Folks are still coming to visit with friends, have a drink, grab a bite, and even enjoy some local art. T.L. says the addition of the art shows are his wife, Mary Sanchez-Nelms,' idea. Paintings by Bertha Guitierrez, who is originally from El Salvador, hang now in a room just off the main dining area. Mary plans to show work from different local artists about every three months. But you can't look to the future without at least acknowledging the past.
At the age of twenty-four, T.L. could not have foreseen what an interesting hangout ROTC would become when he opened the restaurant in 1974. ROTC was on Dickson Street where the Three Sisters venue is today. A couple of years after he opened ROTC he added "The Grill," which was a bar next door. "I didn't think it was going to be as much work as it all was. And then all of a sudden, we opened it [ROTC] and it got popular, and it just kind of snowballed."
No matter what brings folks here, or what makes this place so memorable, this Fayetteville tradition endures through generations. Now thirty-seven years later, T.L. still sees old friends. "In the old days everyone that was associated with the University [of Arkansas] went to ROTC. I'm always seeing people from thirty years ago or twenty years ago coming in and bringing their grown kids. Some you don't recognize; some look exactly the same."
In 1997 the death of his business partner who owned the ROTC property forced T.L. to move off Dickson Street, and away from the crowd of University customers. That's when he bought his property at 3582 North Highway 112 in Fayetteville, and combined ROTC and The Grill into one business. However, the move off Dickson and the ups and downs of the economy started to take its toll on the small restaurant long before the fire.
"What's hurt us the most out here is we used to do a lot of business with people that were in construction like plumbers, carpenters, and electricians. They'd grown up with us and they came out of their way to come here to eat. Then when the economy went south, they didn't have as much money because there wasn't any building going on."
T.L. says business comes in waves, "You have to be rediscovered all the time I guess, but it comes and goes. And we're lucky that when it goes, it comes back."
However T.L. has some regulars – and employees – who have been with him for decades. "Many of the cooks have worked for me for thirty years. So if you liked the food then, you'll still like it now."
Cooks here make homemade fries daily, and meats are prepared fresh and in-house. The pizza's made from scratch too. His menu includes country favorites like chicken fried steak, southern fried catfish, and po' boy sandwiches.
Look around the dining room and you'll see farmers and businessmen. Friends and lovers. Young and old. They're all at home here at ROTC. And they're a resilient bunch around here. The menu even proclaims, "You're Back and We're Still Here."
ROTC and Grill is located at 3582 North Highway 112 in Fayetteville, just past the 112 Drive-In Theatre.

Not much about the self-imposed insanity of the sequester makes sense, so it's good to see something that does. "ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officials have said they released a few hundred people in anticipation of the budget cuts set to hit on Friday," CQ reported on Thursday. "The people released were low-priority detainees and are still being monitored by immigration authorities, they said."
Of course, congressional Republicans opposed to immigration reform reacted with their usual hyperbole, charging that this release of "criminal aliens" was "putting the safety of the public at risk." This is nonsense. If enforcement cuts are required under the sequester, as they are and should be, this is exactly the kind of saving that makes sense.
