The Brewer's Art
1106 N. Charles St., 410/547-6925,
HOURS: Mon.–Sat. 4 p.m.–2 a.m., Sun. 5 p.m.–2 a.m.
There are two completely different kinds of bars here (as well as a popular and inventive restaurant that you shouldn't miss). In the upstairs lounge, beneath an elaborate chandelier, you can have a cocktail and watch traffic glide past on Charles Street. After that, you can dine in the expansive, wood-paneled dining room, hung with contemporary paintings (don't skip the rosemary fries!).
Then head downstairs to the dark, catacomb-like basement bar, and sample the beer that made this place infamous: Resurrection, a potent dubbel-style ale. This bar has gotten national attention as a must-patronize tavern, and once you're tucked into a dark, medieval brick corner with a well-crafted ale, you'll understand why.

LETTER: New York fails on tobacco
Dear Editor: There's good news and bad news. Over the past decade, the New York State Tobacco Control Program has helped to significantly reduce the number of women and men who smoke in New York (less than 19 percent), and the number of children who start this addiction (less than 12 percent of state high schoolers smoke). Progress is good, but more can be done. With the program's efforts to educate citizens and decision-makers about secondhand smoke causing heart and lung disease, New Yorkers have enjoyed a decade of smoke-free restaurants and bars. By encouraging landlords to adopt no-smoking policies in their multi-unit dwellings, more tenants can breathe smoke-free air in their homes. There are also ongoing efforts to reduce youth's exposure to tobacco marketing, which is a known cause of youth smoking. However, in recent years the investment in this program to maintain these successes has been steadily cut. As a result, New York has now dropped to a failing grade from the American Lung Association regarding smoking prevention and cessation efforts. Treating tobacco-related diseases annually costs New York some $8 billion ($3 billion in Medicaid alone). It's a cost all taxpayers bear. The state collected $2.3 billion last year in tobacco revenues, while it invested less than 2 percent of that amount on tobacco control. The funding level recommended by the Centers for Disease Control for tobacco control in New York is equivalent to 11 percent of that tobacco revenue. The tobacco industry does not reduce its spending on marketing targeted to attract our children and keep adults addicted. Low-income New Yorkers and people living upstate have the highest smoking rates and therefore pay a higher share of the tobacco taxes. It is both wise and fair to invest in a program proven to work and serve those in need. Research shows all citizens benefit from well-funded and proven effective tobacco-control initiatives. Tobacco-control it saves lives and tax dollars. BRIAN PALMISANO Lake Katrine Continued...

Perturbed over the rising number of tiger deaths in the country, the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has for the first time come out with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or specific guidelines that spell out the basic steps required to be taken at the field level for dealing with incidents of tiger mortality; when carcass has been found or body parts seized.
However, officials from certain State forest departments have expressed doubts on the ultimate efficacy of such advisories, especially when the requisite funds for tiger protection to even pay regular salaries to frontline staff do not reach on time. Instead, there should be more involvement on the part of NTCA in ensuring action at ground level, they suggested.
The advisory issued by SP Yadav, DIG NTCA, mentions that the purpose of this SOP is to ensure that the causative factors are ascertained and taken to logical conclusion in the interest of tiger conservation. This has been worked out based on inputs from field officers, experts and members of Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) which have been fine-tuned to meet the present challenges.
In terms of fixing responsibilities, the Field Director would be responsible in case of tiger death in a reserve. For a protected area (national park, wildlife sanctuary) the concerned manager would be answerable. In case of other areas (revenue land/ conservation reserve/ community reserve/ village/ township, the Wildlife warden as per (Wildlife Protection Act (1972) or Divisional Forest Officer/ Deputy Conservator of Forests (under whose jurisdiction the area falls) would be accountable. The overall responsibility at the State level would rest with the Chief Wildlife Warden of the respective State.
Detailed instructions have been given for the procedures to be followed in tiger deaths/ seizure of body parts/ incident reported but no body part or carcass available but for corroborative field evidence.
State forest officials nevertheless pitched for a sound technical base at ground level if these advisories are expected to bear fruits. While elaborate seminars are held on tiger protection in the capital, "the patrolling team does not even have adequate vehicles, which is absolutely necessary".
Maximum funds are spent for relocation of villages rather than on protection mechanisms. There is a dearth of technical and legal inputs in terms of training or knowhow to conduct effective intelligence based patrolling and investigation, they pointed out.

If you gave me $200m and asked me which superhero I'd make a good film about he would be last on my list of those that have been on screen so far.
OK I thought this would be fun. It's also something that came up in chat room recently....so, if you had 200 million, and you could do any sort of superhero movie, with existing characters or characters you made up, what would you do? You can get any actor, any director..or direct it yourself and save money, of course.
It can also be a reboot, or a movie with a character that hasn't had a movie yet.
I'd want a Promethea movie...directed by Aronofsky, with a script by me. Alan Moore will hate it, but that doesnt matter.

DA Closes Salinas Valley Memorial Investigation, No Charges Filed
October 25, 2012
Over the past six months, as a political debate over Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System's finances and compensation packages has played out, District Attorney investigators have been looking into possible criminal activity by hospital officials.
District Attorney Dean Flippo announced Thursday he's declining to file criminal charges against retired CEO Sam Downing and board member Harry Wardwell.
The DA launched the investigation after State Auditor Elaine Howle released her office's detailed findings on financial operations at SVMH. The audit had been requested by Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville.
At issue was a $50,000 Downing had invested in 1st Capital Bank stock about a year before the SVMH board approved a $1 million investment into the same bank in 2008. According to state statue, DA investigators found, as long as Downing owned less than 3 percent of the bank's stock, and derived less than 5 percent of his annual income from the investment, his stock there was OK.
Investigators also looked into a lease agreement between SVMH and Rabobank. Wardwell is regional president of the bank, and abstained from voting on a contract in 2008. State auditors suggested Wardwell should've disclosed his financial interest in the contract, but the DA reports abstaining was enough to keep him from committing a crime.
However, the Rabobank contract may be void because "it was illegal for the board members to approve a contract in which one of their members—even one who abstained from voting—had a financial interest," according to a statement released by the DA.
During the investigation, another allegation emerged against board chair Jim Gattis, for allegedly approving contracts with businesses that are his tenants in his real estate job. "The investigation revealed the complaint was meritless," the DA reported.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission has an open investigation into the allegations against Gattis.
Just confirms, nothing but a good 'ol fashioned witch-hunt all along! It's interesting to me how quickly this community forgot about all the good things Sam Downing and his associates did to put a little ole community hospital on the map - teaming with the likes of Stanford University, NASA and so many others. Oh, not to mention all the jobs that were created during his tenure. Those involved should be ashamed!! Oh, and how's that witch-hunt working out for you now with all the lost jobs and underhanded dealings going on, er, should I say "partnerships" with "Non-profit" organizations that are bank rolling in the $$ thanks to that loosely-used term and keeping out the competition due to special priveledges afforded them at all three hospitals! Maybe the media should focus on those dealings...

At the Forge - Social Google Gadgets
The past year has seen an explosion in the growth of social-networking sites like Facebook. People have jumped at the opportunity to find existing friends, make new ones and spend time communicating and participating in group activities on-line. Facebook might be the best-known site, but LinkedIn, Ning, Hi5, Orkut and others also have become popular.
As we might expect in a competitive marketplace, each of these sites has tried to offer unique features to encourage new people to sign up. During the summer of 2007, Facebook unveiled one of the most interesting and powerful of these features in its developer platform—basically, a way to integrate third-party Web applications into Facebook.
This API has led to a torrent of applications being developed for Facebook. It's not clear whether anyone is making money off these applications or whether there are any that people find truly useful (rather than frivolous). But, there are plenty of indications that Facebook's API is an important milestone for social-networking applications and for Web applications in general. For the first time, we have a Web site that is providing an open platform for application development.
In response to the popularity of Facebook's developer API, a number of competitors announced they would be supporting a similar API, known as OpenSocial. Applications written for OpenSocial should work equally well on all compliant social networks. Thus, instead of writing one application for MySpace and another for Ning, you can write the application once and deploy it on many different networks. The exception, at least for now, is Facebook; whether Facebook decides to join the OpenSocial consortium or provide a compatibility layer remains to be seen.
The OpenSocial specification was spearheaded by Google and is based on the specification known as Google Gadgets, part of the personalized iGoogle page for some time. Last month, we looked at how to build a simple Google Gadget, which packages HTML and JavaScript into an XML wrapper.
This month, we look at how to take our simple Google Gadget and turn it into an OpenSocial-compliant application. We begin to see the pros and cons of the OpenSocial standard and consider ways to make use of its capabilities.
As we saw last month, the simplest possible "Hello, world" Google Gadget looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Module> <ModulePrefs title="Hello world" /> <Content type="html"> <![CDATA[ Hello, world! ]]> </Content> </Module>
The gadget comes as an XML file, with a Module section and a Content section. The Module section allows us to specify gadget-specific preferences, using the ModulePrefs tag. The Content section, as you might expect, contains the HTML and JavaScript that will be displayed and executed for the user.
We can turn a simple gadget into an OpenSocial gadget by adding a new Require tag within our Module tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Module> <ModulePrefs title="Hello world" /> <Require feature="opensocial-0.6" /> <Content type="html"> <![CDATA[ Hello, world! ]]> </Content> </Module>
The Require tag indicates that our gadget is implementing the OpenSocial standard, version 0.6. (A new version undoubtedly will be released by the time this column is printed. The initial version, 0.5, was superseded by 0.6 in late December 2007.) Other than that single line, this is the same "Hello, world" widget we installed on our iGoogle page last month. In theory, we can go ahead and install this application on the social-networking site (OpenSocial container) of our choice, and it'll work just fine.
"Hello, world" is boring enough as a standalone program; using it as an example of a social-networking API seems almost silly. For a gadget to become a fully fledged OpenSocial application, it needs to demonstrate an ability to interact with other people. More precisely, a socially aware application should be able to find out something about me and my friends, as well as what I (and my friends) do.
The OpenSocial API addresses this by offering three types of functionality:
People and relationships: get information about you, your friends and the various pieces of data associated with those friends. The Person class provides access to this information.
Activities: social-networking sites are interesting because they let you interact with your friends in a variety of activities. These activities can range from exchanging messages to answering questions in an on-line poll to keeping up to date on the latest sports scores. OpenSocial sees an activity as a collection of actions within a particular container. The Activity class provides access to this data.
Persistence: OpenSocial makes it possible for an application to store information between sessions. One of the most interesting aspects of this persistence API is the fact that storage is handled by the OpenSocial container, not by the application. There is no Persistence class for handling such data. Rather, the data is read and written by invoking methods on the overall opensocial object. Note that the persistence layer lets applications store data globally, as well as on a per-user or per-application instance basis, as needed.
Interactions with these three objects, as well as with the OpenSocial API in general, is done via method calls on the opensocial object. Typically, methods execute asynchronously, with a callback method specified as one of the invocation parameters. For example, we can get information about the person currently running (viewing) our application by creating a new OpenSocial data request and indicating what request we want to make:
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest(); req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest. ↪PersonId.VIEWER),"viewer");
We then send the request to our container:
The response parameter is a function; as soon as the request returns a response, that function will be invoked. Moreover, when the response function is invoked, it will be passed a single parameter that contains the results from our method call.
We can send multiple queries within a single data-request object; all we have to do is invoke req.add multiple times. As you can see from the above line of code, invoking req.newFetchPersonRequest required that we both indicate what we want to request, and that we give it a symbolic name (viewer). This naming allows us to pull apart different types of response data within a single object.
You might be wondering what stops the viewer from being able to retrieve arbitrary data from the OpenSocial container. The answer is that OpenSocial defines two basic types of people: the viewer and the owner. The former, as we have seen, refers to the person who is running and viewing the operation—and might even refer to no one at all, if our system permits anonymous browsing. The owner, by contrast, must be a defined person on the system, and may very well refer to the same person as the viewer. But at least in theory, OpenSocial will provide only limited information to viewers about owners with whom they have no relationship.

Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

thanks for considering,

Welcome to the beginning of your failure.
In weight training, athletes continue their repetitions of each exercise until the muscle fails — until the bicep can no longer lift that dumbbell. Until the weight smashes to floor. Until their spotter lightens that last push. Each time they go to failure, it's a painful experience, but their muscles grow stronger. When was the last time you pushed your marketing, your business, your self to the point of failure?
This kind of discipline seems to be lost these days. Most companies play it safe. They never push too hard against the status quo. They never offer a superior product, because they seem to listen to their customers through bull horns blaring the company line.

Information on how to aid the victims of the deadly tornado in Oklahoma
This truly is an outrage. Poor people should stop being punished. Yes, there are people who take advantage of the system and there are people who don't care about their children, but that isn't because of their income. I'm sure some truly wealthy people don't give a phooey about their kids either.Not everybody is like that. There are plenty of people who are on welfare that give 100% everyday and do their best to take care of their kids. Yet, they are shoved into the same category as the "system abusers" simply because they are poor. Not every poor person is a criminal, not every poor person will steal from you, not every poor person wants a "free ride" from the government. Anyone who thinks that has obviously never needed TANF or Foodstamps and so , you have exactly no right to judge less fortunate ones.

The story follows the quest of hobbit Bilbo Baggins, 13 dwarves and the wizard Gandalf for the dwarf treasure stolen by the evil dragon Smaug in this prequel to Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
The production incorporates the use of masks and large puppets to bring a new theater experience to the community. "I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and my students," said Dixon. "In the last several years I've been intrigued by the use of puppets in shows such as "The Lion King,' "Avenue Q" "and War Horse" and wondered if we couldn't do something in that vein.

- Artists:
- Kings of Leon »
- Label:
"I got your money but I want you so" pleads Caleb Followill during 'No Money's vapid chorus. By the fourth listen it sounds like "I got your money but I want your soul", a subliminal afterthought that perfectly sums up what this record and its creators have been lacking for some time.
Kings Of Leon see, are the bitter taste of what the music industry is all about. Like one Sambuca chaser too many or a partly digested curry the morning after, despite its packaging disguising itself as an upmarket holiday brochure, Come Around Sundown is little more than a well produced sick bag of nauseous atrocities. If it had come adorned in a plain white sleeve emblazoned with the words 'CASH COW' in bold Times New Roman it would convey a more appropriate message.
Of course it would be prudent to defend the Followills as being easy targets for what serves as little more than elitist vitriol were it not for the fact that this record, like all four of its predecessors, barely rises above the level of 'mundane', let aloneto the majority of mere mortals as 'average'. Far from being the difficult fifth album, Come Around Sundown must have been one of the easiest albums in history to put together. After all, when your last record shifts in excess of six million copies worldwide, the old adage "Record one's self farting in a glass and Joe Public would still buy it" springs to mind.
What's more worrying is the number of up and coming bands that aspire to Kings Of Leon's status, music as a seemingly lucrative career incentive rather than creative pastime. How any so-called artist could wish to contemplate reproducing what is an already derivative sound pilfered from the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Oasis only they can answer, but sadly there's a disorderly queue already forming round many a block.
I guess in many ways it isn't the band's fault both 'Sex On Fire' and 'Use Somebody' went stellar commercially. After all, what's the point in writing a song and going through the whole rigmarole of recording, producing and distributing the damn thing if some kind of reward isn't reaped at the end? No, all the forcefeeding that followed highlighted was the sheer banality within Kings Of Leon's musical palette, particularly the lyrics. When Art Brut's Eddie Argos recently asked the crowd at Offset Festival "My Sex Is On Fire....What does that mean?" he wasn't being ironic. Take 'Back Down South' for example, Come Around Sundown's semi-acoustic midpoint, meandering along aimlessly amid such drab couplets as "Underneath the stars, where we parked the cars". If that isn't enough to make anyone cringe, the Eighties pastiche of 'Beach Side' will. Think Kenny Loggins 'Danger Zone' performed by Alphabeat or some other kitsch entity, except having rewritten the words to incorporate such random irrelevance as "I never look back at all the things I've ever done, I never look up seeing that he's on the run...". Who? Where? Whaaat? When Caleb Followill declared recently that all the lyrics on Come Around Sundown were ad-libbed during recording rather than structurally written beforehand he obviously wasn't lying. Just when you think it can't get any worse it actually does. "You come on legs and your pantyhose, you look so precious with your bloody nose" introduces the ungainly retrocentric 'Birthday', which seems to have gleaned its inspiration from long forgotten Scottish also-rans Big Country.
Focusing on what is wrong with this record - i.e. pretty much everything - is an easy pastime. Saying that, there are some positives, albeit few and very far between. Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King have once again mustered a valiant effort transforming this dog turd of an album into something with a sheen and wholesomeness in a similar vein to Only By The Night. The big difference between the two records undoubtedly appears in the way King at least accrues more emphasis upon the instrumentation, especially Nathan Followill's drums, and as a result the likes of 'Pony Up' and lead single 'Radioactive' go for the U2 coordinated jugular and mostly manage to pull it off. Likewise 'Mary', its Glitter Band stomp sounding like it could have crawled off an episode of Crackerjack circa 1974, save for the goddamnful lyrics (again). Then there's 'The Face', which in hindsight arguably stands as one of the most accomplished pieces of music the Followills have been involved with, its glissando themed bluster and melancholic demeanour giving way to a big brash chorus, the simmering cry of "Ride out the wave" seeming most appropriate for such a grandiose statement of intent.
Sadly that's your lot, as at other times their audacious attempts at emulating the rock'n'roll legends of yore go drastically wrong. 'The Immortals' trys embarrassingly hard to be The Clash, down to the Strummeresque title, the lolloping bassline and quasi Jamaican accent employed by Caleb Followill, who obviously wants this to be heralded as the second coming of London Calling. Unfortunately, despite his insistence "The path of greatness is at your fingers", the song itself quickly hurtles into cod reggae territory before ending up sounding like The Police, which as any self respecting purveyor of taste will know, isn't a great juncture to arrive at.
Overall, Come Around Sundown is pretty much what anyone would have expected the successor to such a commercially successful enterprise as Only By The Night to sound like, be that fan, foe or otherwise. Only the bravest of men would wager against this topping the best seller lists when 2010 draws to a close, which inadvertently constitutes a travesty in itself. Come Around Sundown is musical wallpaper for those who purchase such amenities from the likes of Tesco or Asda. It represents little more than a giant turd amidst a sea of mediocrity, several million of which will shortly be appearing in homes near you. You have been warned.

I have to say if there was a title for most overrated band of the decade these would be vying for top spot alongside The Libertines.
well and truly bought a yacht and sailed it up their own arse.
Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments, it's not really much of an album review is it?
More a diatribe on why you hate Kings Of Leon. Meh
Well, bearing in mind that paragraphs 1, 5, 6 & 7 specifically
quote lyrics from all of the individual tracks on this record surely that constitutes an album review?
Yeah, fuck people who shop at Tesco or Asda.
Stupid Kings of Leon listening plebs
big wow
A look through the boards will show that no-one who looks on this site regularly thinks they're anything other than shit.
Why even bother with the review?
Well, there's a lot more people who visit the site regularly
than just those who post on the boards.
And it would be quite an omission to not review this don't you think?
a fun read!
and many other such obvious reasons.
But y'know, this is such a generic whine, to which the generic answer is that aside from the fact that lots more people will read the review than just posters, then the fact is that if their earlier releases were 'legitimate' to review, it seems silly to stop now just because they've passed some nebulous indie elitism benchmark. Plus surely if the boards and the reviews are in harmony then, well... that's just lovely, isn't it?
On another note
Scanning through other published reviews of this record, it seems the backlash from those normally in thrall to KOL is well and truly underway...and not before time too.
A fun read would have been nice
and I wouldn't have cared one bit about the shooting fish in barrels aspect of the review if it had a few laughs.
don't be a dickhead.
you're being a dickhead
Ha! Never heard this before!
Permission to use?
Shit cover too
Never liked them.
Even the tape on the drum used to annoy me.
Would the DiS reviewer apologists (lukowski) explain the rationale behind letting someone with such a potent dislike of the band review this album.
For the record, I don't like Kings of Leon and agree that this album is probably a steaming pile of dung.
I'd just prefer them to review something else, there are loads of things that don't get any exposure. I think this is a waste of space is all.
Maybe they really do HAVE to get on the hating Kings of Leon bandwagon and I'm just missing something.
No big deal really either way.
Their first two albums
are excellent, which is why the detritus that has followed is all the harder to take. Ho hum.
Don't ever mention Springsteen and Oasis in the same sentence ever again.
Unless, of course, the sentence reads something like "Springsteen is better than Oasis".
Kings of Le'Yawn
don't see the point of reviewing it on this site. Leave it for Q magazine and NME. Review something new and suprising, that won't get exposure elsewhere.
BUT it's not the case that this was reviewed and another record wasn't...
...why do people always trot out this argument?!
If that's true
I didn't know. Whatever.
They just always seem to review 3 new releases every day.
I don't even really care if that's not true BTW so don't bother correcting me.
It's more when people say silly things like...
"THIS ISN'T A REVIEW. WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS REVIEW?" Etc, which get me.
This reads like an NME review
and that's not what we're here for.
Where's Pitchfork's review?
That's what I want to know.
Have they opted out this time?
I've now heard around half of the album and my initial reaction was "Well, at least it's better than the last album..." (that's not saying much, mind.) The thing that really hacks me off is the singer's seemingly flippant attitude to their music. Last time out he said he wrote the OBTN songs/lyrics whilst off his head on painkillers (it showed), this time out he says he ad-libbed the lyrics... I used to love this guy's dark n' twisted narco-fuelled 'southern gothic'(?) tales. He just seems to have stopped bothering. You're up on a pedestal, the world is waiting for your album and what have you got to offer? A 'can't be arsed' attitude... Not good enough, Followill. I'll probably get the album eventually but I have no doubts that it will crumble against the intelligent lyricism of The Walkmen, say.
I got as far as the picture caption...
'Rock royalty: Kings of Leon are emerging as one of the great bands'... I had to stop there through fear that I'd be over come by laughter and/or anger... I mean, seriously? People have the nerve to moan at reviews on here when there's things like that in the world?
Agree with some of what you said but disagree on the lyrics, man
The early KOL lyrics did make sense. Joe's Head, Red Morning Light, Wasted Time, Holy Roller Novocaine etc etc - all great little dirty stories. Lyrics do matter - they're not the be-all and end-all but the message matters or what's the fucking point communicating? Sadly, both the music and the lyrics have gone downhill with these guys. I'm hopeful 'Come Around Sundown' might prove a slow-burner musically (the lyrics don't seem too hot, again.) I haven't heard it all yet but we'll see.
if youre going to criticise the writing of one thing...
maybe write something half decent in response. theyve always bored me, but this article is bloody shite.

Jones Named To All-Decade Team
During his Mountaineer career, Jones won a title as a freshman at 174 pounds and two more as a junior and a senior at 184 pounds. He is also a four-time Eastern Wrestling League champion and WVU's all-time leader in wins with an impressive 126-4 record. Ranking first is Iowa State's Cael Sanderson who became the first-ever, four-time undefeated NCAA Division I champion. Listed second was three-time NCAA champion Stephen Abas of Fresno State. "Jones is simply one of the greatest college wrestlers of all-time," states T.R. Foley, InterMat Senior Writer. "He won 97 percent of his matches and won an NCAA title in each of his three NCAA finals appearances. "His style wasn't always punishing, but by executing with perfect technique and explosive power he often turned what might have been contestable matches into blowouts." It's been more than seven years since Jones captured his third national title, yet the current WVU assistant coach fondly remembers his time in a WVU singlet. "It's very humbling to be listed alongside so many great competitors and athletes," says Jones. "I was fortunate enough to pick a school like WVU that allowed me to pursue my goals, as well as team goals, in a true pursuit of excellence." Jones is the only Mountaineer to be named the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler, and closed out his career with an impressive 51-match unbeaten streak. "His junior and senior efforts did enough to outshine that (sophomore season) lapse," states Foley. "In those last two seasons, Jones' dominance became even more evident with a variety of attacks on his feet and a re-upped top game that transitioned into more falls for the Mountaineers." Jones' supremacy on the mat firmly planted the Slickville, Pa., native as one of the NCAA's all-time best wrestlers. "Through his competitive career, Greg achieved a lot that many wrestlers don't even come close to," says WVU head coach Craig Turnbull. "This recognition is very deserving as Greg will go down as one of the all-time greats." A complete listing of the Best of 2000s can be found at intermatwrestle.com. |

Silicon Valley may soon be the home to four major sports franchises. Along with the hometown San Jose Sharks and Earthquakes, the 49ers are poised to start construction on their new home shortly. At the same time, the A's fate in Oakland is in question, making the famed Money Ball team a serious contender for the trek south.
The impact of this transition will be significant for the South Bay region. Landlords,

The room was nice; maybe not quite as large as I thought it would be. It was new looking and the room was cleaned 2x per day. The bathroom was large and in nice condition. The hotel has a nice selection of restaurants (from kind of expensive to very expensive). The concierge was very helpful with getting rental car, reservations and tickets. The negatives were the staff was sometimes not well informed or not helpful. The bellmen sent me to the wrong check-in line (cost me 20 extra minutes of waiting) and no one told me that guests get to go through a special line on the buffet (cost me at least 20 extra minutes waiting). As mentioned before, the room was not as big as I expected. The building is on the Northern end of the strip - a fair walk to just about anywhere. However, we had a nice time and I would recommend the hotel. The casino was nice and seemed to have a nice group of people.

Hotel Room was excellent and value for money. Checking out experience was horendous with Checking in Customers in Checking Out line and we waited some 35 minutes, finally complaining and getting some service. Pool area and service very good. Concierge excellent service. Dining experience in Wynns Encore Switch Restaurant was a Nightmare on our Wedding Anniversary. Concierge booked it identifying special evening. Nothing was done to make it special. Waiter Service one of the worst we have had. My wifes and my evening was spoiled. We did complain but nothing was done, not even a Manager. We were not asked how the food was and the complimentary thing we got was a blob of Sorbet with a white chocolate. Having spent $311. This was a disaster. We would not dine again in any Wynns Restaurant.

The Wynn was like in being in an oasis in the midlle of the spectacle that is Las vegas. The room was awesome. Stayed in a panoramic view room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the strip and the Mirage volcano and TI pirate show.Well worth it. The room was clean and the bed surpassed the Westin's Heavenly Bed. Wynn even had their own specially designed mattresss that took two years to develop I was told. Staff was pleasant and accomidating to any request.. Casino was beautiful. Room was spotless and nicely furnished. The architecture and interior design and appointments are simply stunning. It blows away the other hotels on the strip. Breakfast buffet well worth it. Setting was in a Mad Hatter's version of an English conservatory gone crazy. Drawbacks: Long check-in line. Larger space devoted to ""Invited Guest Check-In"". ""Invited"" means has spent at least $10,000 at gaming. Long wait for valet car delivery during the day. Wife was in heaven with Wynn and Encore Esplanades, Fashion Show Mall across the street and Palazzio and Venetian Canal Shoppes next door. She used the spa and loved it, although pricey (about $500 for massage, facial, manicure and pedicure and tip); said they lavished a lot of attention on her Saw Cirque's ""LOVE"" and Ka"" and musical ""Jersey Boys"" . All had excellent seating, sound and production values. Saw Rita Rudner and was similiar to her act on TV. Funny and PG rated. Showroom small and intimate.

I stayed at the Wynn for 4 days in March 2009. It was my first time in Vegas, and I loved this hotel. It was very very pretty. The bed was comfortable a nice size room (tower suite) I have no complaints only besides this one issue I had with room service...If you are like me and can't always finish your food than I suggest you do not order room service!! I spent $83.00 On one meal the food was great but could not finish it and basically the rest of it went to waste due to them not having any microwave for me to re heat my food.. Also had no were to put it to keep it cold because the refrigerator they provide for you is full of drinks already and if you take them out you will be charged for it even if you don't drink them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about crazy!! So I complained to the manager ant the brought me a complimentary refirgerator wich was nice of them .. So I was atleast able to keep my food cool. But still no where to warm it up!! So unless you don't mind wasting your money or your actually going to eat all of your food, Do not order room service at the Wynn..They will not provide any type of microwave for you.

My husband and I just returned form a weekend trip from staying at the Wynn Las Vegas. We were absolutely amazed. We stayed on the 20th floor of the Wynn. We had initially requested a strip view, but we were so glad we didn't get one. The view from the resort side is beautiful. You get some twinkling lights, but you also get the desert mountains. We stayed in a standard king and it was everything we wanted and more! The staff was so friendly and accomadating. Be sure not to miss the show on the ""lake of dreams"" which starts after the sunsets, it was one of my favorite thigns we saw while in Vegas. We are not big gamers, but I really enjoyed the penny slots and walked out $12 dollars better than when I went in:) We went with my husbands company and usually after the 3rd day all the catered buffet foods start to taste the same no matter what you are eating, this was certainly not the case at the Wynn. The food was incredible, even the catered items that we had at the companies scheduled events. Zoozacrackers has the best Reuben you have ever put in your mouth. Get ready because everything is expensive, but it is no difference anywhere else in Vegas. This hotel is stunningly beautiful. It's elegant Vegas, not cheesey Vegas. I will certainly and happily be returning to The Wynn ASAP!!!!

By: Sara P North Carolina, Grade: 7
I crept down the stairs to put the childrens presents from Santa under the tree. I looked at what they had asked him for. Nathan wanted a fire engine, Mary wanted a job for mommy and daddy, and Ally wanted food for her tummy. I put all we had into the stockings, a piece of bread for each of them. I remember my few Christmases I had when I was a child. These were nothing like it. As I looked once more at the lists with tears in my eyes knowing that this wasn't good enough, I walked back upstairs.

Well, this is one of those things that may cause trouble. The
LayerHandler has a handle to all the layers, so they will be written out
there. I'm not sure what happens when two references to the same object
get serialized. I would expect that two copies get written, but I would
then expect two separate objects when they are read back in.

Send this story Print this story Adjust text size Garden Tips
by Jack McKinnon
Women work more and harder than anybody. They work physically, emotionally and socially and they do it simultaneously. No wonder they make such good gardeners.
This month's tips will be for women. But if you don't happen to qualify, you can read them too and possibly learn something about both gardening and women. Here are the tips:
1. Often it is quite frustrating to be so fond of flowers and to have to work so hard to get a few good ones for the table. There are several ways to increase the number of flowers in one's life. Getting somebody else to buy them for you is less difficult than growing them. It is important to work on those that give flowers with subtle and not-so-subtle hints and not give up. With time and patience your flower supply will increase.
2. Plant more species of flowering plants than you think you will need. This will seem daunting at first but as you go out to harvest your bouquets you will thank me. Variety is not only valuable in having many colors to choose from but to have more actual flowers in the different seasons of the year. Remember that different flowers bloom at different times of the year. Growing plants that bloom in the fall as well as the spring and summer secures those harvest bouquets.
3. If you have a small garden, use other people's. This is actually quite easy. By giving plants as presents for all the occasions of one's life and then offering to help with the care of these plants, you increase your gardening property exponentially. This also saves on your water bill, because your friends have to water the plants and all you have to do is to go over and fertilize, cultivate and prune (giving you flowers) on a regular maintenance schedule. What a great gift for a friend and yourself.
4. Grow a variety of texture and filler plants. These make for wonderful arrangement material. Some good examples are ferns, oak leaf hydrangeas, ornamental grasses and pretty much anything with variegated foliage.
5. Invite friends to garden with you. This takes care of three important parts of every woman's life: getting help doing all the work, socializing and having someone to talk to about how you are feeling. Sometimes this works best with a gardening partner and other times with a garden club. Of course if you are hosting a guest to your garden it is really nice to have iced tea, small sandwiches and a fruit salad to share when you are finished.
6. Getting men to listen (and hear) what your needs are in the garden is really important. We all need help sometimes and asking for help (I can't climb trees anymore) is humbling but important. Bribery works well for friends. Don't call it bribery though (it doesn't work as well); call it a trade. One example is minestrone soup. I had a friend that would give me a quart of minestrone soup once every third or fourth visit to her garden. I would do anything for her.
7. Growing flowers for an event or special occasion is really fun and clearly shows how intelligent you are even though we know that already. One good example was provided a close friend who would gather flowers for drying each season, tie them into bundles and hang them from the ceiling in the downstairs room. Whenever she needed a bouquet for a party or as a gift it was simple to go downstairs with a pair of pruning shears and some ribbon.
8. Show imagination as well as hard work in your gardening. Learn some design skills. Most of the landscape designers and architects I know are women. This can be done in your spare time (if you have any) and will show your artistic flair off to the world.
9. Just as you spend time in front of the mirror in the morning, have a walk through your garden once a day. It will serve the same purpose by providing self care, detail, style and a feminine touch you will appreciate.
10. Give yourself time to visit gardens, garden tours, shows and nurseries with a good friend. There is nothing better than walking through someone else's garden and enjoying the show. There are always new things to see, ideas to steal (I mean borrow) and of course there is always lunch after and plenty to talk about.
Good gardening.

Scrapbook 16th - 19th century antique and decorative prints & maps |
Hollyhock This image was produced in 1597 for John Gerard's "The Herball or Generall Historie of Plants". Gerard is perhaps the best known of all English herbalists. He was a "Master of the Company of Barber-Surgeons", but his energies were employed chiefly in horticulture and who, at various times, served as superintendent of gardens to William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and as curator of the physic garden of the College of Physicians of London He eventually became herbalist to King James I. His reputation rests principally upon his publication in 1597 of "The Herball or Generall Historie of Plants". The work contains some of the earliest images of many plants and text about their medicinal uses, often with notes of where the various plants could be found in England and elsewhere. |

Reasons for a Federal Assessment
Project Description
Environmental Assessment Report
Minister's Environmental Assessment Decision Statement
Final Decision
Follow-up Program
Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry: 06-03-22292
Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions: 9848
Comprehensive study
Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions
On September 26, 2006, it was determined that an environmental assessment was required in relation to the project because Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions considered providing financial assistance to the proponent.
The project concerns upgrading to standards the drinking water installations in the municipality of Rimouski. The scope of the project covers the following activities / interventions, including its indissociable elements: groundwater prospecting activities; decommissioning of the existing water uptake in Lac à l'Anguille; construction of three permanent wells with a total capacity of 7 000 000 m3 / year in rivière Neigette and Neigette Dam areas; construction of services buildings; construction of a chlorination system; installation of a supply line (including river crossings); changes to the configuration of the water supply network; hook-ups from wells to pumping stations; hook-ups to existing water supply network; installation of a safety fences; rebuilding of existing access roads and construction of new roads to access to the wells at Neigette Dam area (including a 10 m long bridge); repairs to the existing reservoir; landscaping; restoration of the site (roads); exploitation of the ground water aquifers; closure and decommissioning of the three wells at the end of their operational life; all other elements related to the project.
Environmental Assessment Decision Statement
A decision was taken on March 19, 2009 and was that the authority may exercise any power or perform any duty or function with respect to the project because, after taking into consideration the comprehensive study report and taking into account the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures, the authority is of the opinion that the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
It was determined that a follow-up program to verify the accuracy of the environmental assessment and/or determine the effectiveness of any measures taken to mitigate the adverse environmental effects is required for this project. For further information or to obtain a copy of the follow-up program, please contact Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.
