Solid Gospel outtakes. Very enjoyable. Highly recomended. 4 stars.
This is one of my all time favorite FTD releases. I would love to have FTD release some more Gospel outtakes. I truly enjoy hearing Elvis sing music he truly loved. I listen to this one often.
I believe a review for this CD is long over due
The artwork could be better. I do like the cover, but inside would of been nice to have a picture in the studio. I know I ask that alot in my other reviews, but it is true lol
Sound is top notch. Elvis sings gospel music like no other. You know when Elvis sings, he believes it. and that is why he sounds so good singing gospel. It is great to have a collection of just Gospel music. Well rounded not only in types of genre of music, but also through the years of when he recorded these wonderful heart felt songs.
It Is No Secret-beautifully done. His voice rings with passion.
He Knows Just What I Need-a good first take and Elvis is feeling it, but just too fast for his liking.
Mansion Over the Hilltop-Wonderfully done especially since it is the first take.
Joshua Fit the Battle-Fast pace and Elvis is showing how you can rock a gospel song. Another first take and Elvis seeems to be singing this song all his life.
The drummer does not know that the song needs to slow down for the end.
Im Gonna Walk Dem Golden Stairs-a couple of False starts, but they get it going on the third take
Known Only to Him-The first and second take which shows us how they started the tune with just the verses and not the chorus which is how it was changed too.
Run On-take 2 and another rocker with Elvis in '66. You can hear the maturity in his voice and see that he can still rock.
Stand By Me-a very impressive song that seems to show how much Elvis desired God's help, even with this early take.
So High-a good old gospel number that shines when Elvis gets the opportunity to sing along with the vocal groups like he did in "Working on the Buuilding".
Somebody Bigger Than You and I-a later take that shows that Elvis believed in perfection and was not satisfied with what sounds like the master, but he continued until he felt the song was right.
We Call on Him-a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics. The early false start we hear Elvis say no good. Showing us that he was in control whe it came to recording gospel music.
Saved-we get take 1 from the '68 Comeback Special medley. Very electrifying. You can not only tap your feet, but you feel the energy that Elvis gives out because he believes in the song.
An Evening Prayer-one of my favorites. i was so excited to see and hear the outtake of this gem. Elvis out does himself with this one. One listen to and you will want to hear all of his gospel numbers. and you will know there is not a reason why this album "He Touched Me" won him a grammy after hearing songs like this. Great outtake and close to the master, except he puts more emotion and so do the Imperials into the master take.
Seeing Is Believing-begins with alil chatter which is always cool to hear. A song written by two guys one of them being Red West. A real contemporary tune that has an instrumental false start and then finishes with Elvis completing take 4with an unsure voice. The song is alil bit more slower than the master. He seems to still be getting the song under his belt.
There is No God But God-Not one of my favorites. Begins with a false start of take 1, then a complete take 2 with Elvis still unsure of himself with the song. A bit slower then the master, but a good second take.
He Is My Everything-Elvis clowns around with Farther Along and chats a bit before recording the song. We get alil behind the scenes with Elvis directing the groups and musicians on how the song goes. A year prior Elvis recorded the same song, but the country version "There Goes My Everything". Here we have take 1 of the Gospel version. Well done close to the master.
Bosom of Abraham-A later take which shows Elvis in good spirits and rocking on a very good gospel number. Where Elvis gets a chance to play Bass in parts of the song. lol
I Got A Feeling in my Body-A true 70's number with James playing some good funk guitar is what i call it.
If that Isnt Love-A very good song telling the whole Gospel story and Elvis really is showing his emotion and feeling for this song in his voice with some good false starts and breaking the song in to become his own.
A must for any Elvis collector. If you like Elvis and you have none of his gospel CD's then shame on you. You need to get at least one of them, but this CD here is an excellent companion to either "Amazing Grace-His Sacred Performances" or "Peace in the Valley".

I am a big fan of Elvis Gospel, so this is one of my favorite FTD releases.
Some of you all never been down South too much...

I'd like to use this drive for transferring files between a mac & PC.
I plugged my new backup plus for mac into my macbook and was never prompted to use timemachine or asked if I wanted to use the drive on PC or Mac or both. The drive does not come up when I plug it into a PC either. I have looked through the forums here trying to find out how to get it to work on both. I looked at a thread that recommended formatting the drive through windows but have no options to reformat it through there. I can see it in the disc management tool but the option to format & partition is grayed out.
I tried to format & reinstall the files that came with it through mac but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Install this to the PC:
I know it says for GoFlex but it should still work.
A Mac formatted drive will not be accessible on Windows. It will show in device manager and disk management but you need to have the driver installed to "teach" your Windows machine how to read and write to a mac formatted drive.
Let me know if you have any other problems.
Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it works but it defeats the whole purpose of me getting this drive which is to be able to plug it into any PC and share the files. We don't have privileges to install software on our work computers.
Does the drive just not work like this? I don't want to have to install software on each computer that I plug it into to use....
If that's not possible with these drives I feel like Seagate is horribly misrepresenting their products.
Is there any way to set this drive up so that I can plug it into any mac or PC without installing extra software on those computers in order to use it?

You could format it with FAT32 filesystem.
Note that you have to re-partition it to create the MBR to make it readable in windows http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/helpdesk/the-righ
That worked perfectly! Thanks!
I created two partitions one for the Mac, using HFC+, and one for Windows, using FAT32, and selected Master Boot Record. The Mac partition works fine with the mac. When I restart my macbook pro in Windows, I can read and write to the Windows partition, but Seagate Manager won't backup to the partition. The drive show up as one drive, with two letters, in Seagate Manager and the backup function is not available because it says I have no NTFS partition. Sugestions?
I'm sorry, Seagate Manager?
Could you please clarify?

November 26, 2001 SMU LIBRARIES HOST HOLIDAY LUNCHEON DEC. 4 DALLAS (SMU) -- Southern Methodist Universitys Friends of the SMU Libraries is sponsoring a holiday luncheon and program featuring author and playwright Neila Petrick who will discuss early Texas history through the eyes of the pioneer woman Jane Long, about whom the author has written a biographical novel. The program will be at noon Tuesday, Dec. 4, at the Royal Oaks Country Club, 3915 Greenville Ave. Jane Longs Christmases Past: An Early Texans Story of Survival and Triumph is a program that will recount Christmas celebrations in early Texas from the perspective of the educated pioneer woman whose move from Natchez, Miss., to the Texas coast and finally to the Texas land grants of Stephen F. Austin put her squarely in the middle of the early history of the Lone Star State. Whether farming the land, spying for the rebels or running the historic Brazoria Inn boarding house, Long contributed to the growth and independence of the state, and helped establish churches, health care, schools and housing along the way. Tickets for the lecture and luncheon are $25. Reservations are required before Nov. 30. For more information, contact Judy Searles at 214-768-3225. |

Space Rugs
Product Details
Brand: |
Use the Force for good, namely, lounging around
Turn yourself into the coolest person in the universe with one of these amazing Space Rugs - the intergalactic robe of choice for all aspiring sci-fi fanatics.
Of course, it bears a striking resemblance to some certain intergalactic knights, only there's less chance of you having to hack someone's arm off with a laser sword. Unless that's the sort of thing you get up to. We're not here to judge.
They're made of a soft fleece-y material so they're a great dressing gown substitute and a dream for those days when all you want to do is lounge around the house and watch films with explosions in them all day.
Being machine washable also helps. Chances are you won't get much in the way of saving the universe completed while you're wearing it, but heck, why can't science fiction characters put their feet up once in a while?
- Oversized coral fleece that looks uncannily like a sci-fi robe
- Great for lounging around in
- Perfect dressing gown substitute
- Lightweight
- Machine washable
- Available in black, white or brown
- One size fits all - it's a robe, not a cocktail dress

Forget Blankets and Onesies
As a very masculine bloke with a secret geek inside, this is just perfect. Blankets are out of the question. Slankets are out the window. Onsies are out of order! The space rug combines everything you ever wanted for a chilly evening! Just add cider!
Space Rugs are Ace
Bought one of these in black for my eldest son for Christmas. He adores it! He is 6ft tall and yet it fits him very comfortably and he is thrilled with how long and cosy it is. It's brilliant. Thank you very much.
Bought for brother-in-law who loves. I wish it was longer though as he is over 6ft.
very snuggly
Bought this for my son. He loves it, it's very long so have to watch tripping over it when going up the stairs! Very good buy and hopefully he'll get a lot of use from it.
Great product
Snug and fun
Fun and cosy, excellent quality space rug at a remarkable price! So good In fact that I bought all three colour choices.:) Size is perfect for my six footer son but swamps my size 8 daughter.on the plus side she makes it look like a medieval gown with a train.
Love This
I brought this in black and it is brilliant. Super soft and fits perfectly. I'm 6ft and the arm and leg length is perfect for me. I have recommended my friends buy one as well!
I'm from Spain and I have my purchase in less than two weeks.The rug it's so warm and my boyfriend love it! I want one but it's too big for me.
space rugs
Perfect for winter, cut those heating bills. Bought these for various family members and proved a big hit, good quality and good value. I can double up for fancy dress, a bargain!
This is possibly the best dressing gown ever. You look like something off star wars or even a monk. The product in total is well worth the money as its so thin but it seriously keeps the heat in. Good for Halloween keeping warm fancy dress or whatever but I personally recommend it and all my family have them.
space rug
Got this in preparation for Halloween. Decided on the brown one - obi wan style. The robe arrived well packaged in a clear zip pouch. Feels great and really comfy. Thick and fluffy material, a great robe for lounging around the house. Only negative is the length, it's really long and the bottom of it does drag along the ground a bit but its still really good value and great for fighting the Empire in comfort and style.
Space Rugs
Great product lovely and roomy and soft feeling. Think they should come in girly colours.
Coolest loungewear in the universe!!
Amazing quality Space Rugs. Highly recommend.
I bought a Space Rug for my brother who loves it. It's made of nice material, warm, and also the best price I could find.
I am very happy with the Space Rug! You will definitely be comfortable and warm in this. In fact, maybe too comfortable.
Warm warrior!
First off, you really do need to know just how well made this Space Rug is! For the money, I wasn't expecting such a thick and luxurious garment, as other fleece robes tend to be very flimsy and thin, but not this one! The Space Rug is definitely a winter weight garment, as it is incredibly warm. Especially when given its size, which is perfectly suited for the taller person (180cm/6ft +). However, I wouldn't really recommend it for shorter people, as it will no doubt drag on the floor! I'm 185cm/6ft 2" and this reaches my ankles! As it is an over-the-head garment, and quite large at that, it can take a second or two extra to put on, but once it's on it's lovely and cosy. You'll feel like a giant teddy bear in this thing, although you'll look like a monk/space warrior! Some folks may even be interested in the brown or black version for a wizardly look. Overall, I'm really impressed with the Space Rug, and could only take a star off for its immense size (fine for me, not for smaller folk), and having to take a little extra time to slip on than a regular dressing gown. Cheers IWOOT!
Space rug
Bought this for my father-in-law for fathers day, he loves it, cozy and goes with his lightsaber lol. Easy to order, quick delivery, job done!!
Bought for a friend - perfect!
space rug
The Space Rugs are a good product, very warm, made with good material and well put together. The delivery from the site was great as well, the product arrived on time with no hassle.
Fantastic Present
I bought this for our friends 50th birthday present, and he loves it its a really fun item that disguises what could have been a boring normal dressing gown. Ho loves it and says the quality is very good.
space rugs
The Space Rugs are excellent. I have bought one for all members of my family! I recommend this!
space rugs
So far I have bought 3 Space Rugs for members of my family. They are great. They're lovely to lounge about in. They are so comfortable, soft and warm. I would recommend them to anyone who's looking for something different.
feels so good
I originally bought it for my husband, but of course, ended up inheriting it. It feels so good. If you buy it, you wouldn't be disappointed, and will probably do the same, inherit it.
Comfy and huge
The Space Rugs are big enough, I'm 6ft tall and got a XXL size. It's warm and fluffy, recommended.
May the Force be with you
The Space Rug is very snuggly, lightweight and great for slouching around the house on chilly days. It keeps you safe from the Sith Lords too!
Ladies- you'll steal it off your man.
Before Christmas, my fiancé started joking around that he wanted a Space Rug as one of his gifts. To be fair part of me died inside. Let's face it, it doesn't look sexy, or have very much appeal outside of the geek chic, cluster zone. I ordered the brown rug for him and he was thrilled. I laughed when I saw what he looked like when wearing it! One day I got so fed up and cold, that I tried it on while he was out and couldn't believe how comfy and snug I was. With that, I saw the light, and ordered one myself. I, even as a girl, with no interest in Sci-Fi, unlike my Star Trek loving fiancé, don't know how I ever lived without the Space Rug. I wear it around the house, and I like how it goes all the way round, with full ultra soft coverage, a hood, and even pockets. I even sleep in it some nights, it's the best money I've ever spent.
The Space Rug is warm and snuggly, I barely have the heating on any more! It washes really well too, worth every penny!
Love the Space Rugs, I'm warm as toast when wearing it. It beats wrapping a duvet around you.
Absolutely excellent
The Space Rug was an excellent item to buy! It's really comfortable and fluffy, a little thin but it's just an amazing item to have, and my wife seems to love it too. A great all round product!
Space rugs
The Space Rugs are an extremely cosy piece of clothing. Ideal for 'chilling' out on cold, winter evenings.
The Force is With Me!
I ordered a white Space Rug as a laugh as my friend had also ordered one. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised as it is extremely soft, warm and very comfortable. I have barely taken it off since it was delivered! I would definitely recommend it to anyone, whether you are a Star Wars fan or not!
A great purchase
Having bought the Space Rugs I have been warm and toasty with the quality of the fabric. These are definitely worth it as a winter investment!
Space Rug
Very nice, comfy and warm, item as described, I am very happy with the purchase.
The Space Rugs are good gift ideas for teenage lads. Very silly but at the same time practical and cosy. My eldest, at six feet plus in height, loves that his robe keeps his shins warm.
I just love the Space Rugs.
Space Rug
Thanks for my Space Rug, I love it. I'm a bit too old for a Onesie so this looks great at the shops. Have to re-educate myself not to run up and downstairs with it on though.
Really warm.and soft. Just long enough for my 5ft 11in. Really glad I got one though - much more practical than the snuggie. Packs down quite small and is not heavy - It might be coming camping with me.
Space rugs
The Space Rug is fantastic, it's so cozy and comfortable. I could wear this all day. It's like being wrapped up in a big blanket, I really love it!
Super SPACE RUGS
I used to have a poncho style snuggie thing. Now I have my super Space Rug, which is fantastic for lounging around, watching TV. It keeps you nice and toasty with no drafts! With the hood up it's brilliant for scaring the kids. Worn with a lightsaber you even stand a good chance of a prize at fancy dress parties! This is great value and also makes a fabulous present!
It ain't half hot!
The Space Rugs look good and feel good. It would be all good if it had a front opening, but it doesn't, so overheating is a problem.

EcoRV Restriction Endonuclease/GAATTC/Ca2+
The crystal structure of EcoRV endonuclease bound to non-cognate DNA at 2.0 angstroms resolution shows that very small structural adaptations are sufficient to ensure the extreme sequence specificity characteristic of restriction enzymes. EcoRV bends its specific GATATC site sharply by 50 degrees into the major groove at the center TA step, generating unusual base-base interactions along each individual DNA strand. In the symmetric non-cognate complex bound to GAATTC, the center step bend is relaxed to avoid steric hindrance caused by the different placement of the exocyclic thymine methyl groups. The decreased base-pair unstacking in turn leads to small conformational rearrangements in the sugar-phosphate backbone, sufficient to destabilize binding of crucial divalent metal ions in the active site. A second crystal structure of EcoRV bound to the base-analog GAAUTC site shows that the 50 degrees center-step bend of the DNA is restored. However, while divalent metals bind at high occupancy in this structure, one metal ion shifts away from binding at the scissile DNA phosphate to a position near the 3'-adjacent phosphate group. This may explain why the 10(4)-fold attenuated cleavage efficiency toward GAATTC is reconstituted by less than tenfold toward GAAUTC. Examination of DNA binding and bending by equilibrium and stopped-flow florescence quenching and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) methods demonstrates that the capacity of EcoRV to bend the GAATTC non-cognate site is severely limited, but that full bending of GAAUTC is achieved at only a threefold reduced rate compared with the cognate complex. Together, the structural and biochemical data demonstrate the existence of distinct mechanisms for ensuring specificity at the bending and catalytic steps, respectively. The limited conformational rearrangements observed in the EcoRV non-cognate complex provide a sharp contrast to the extensive structural changes found in a non-cognate BamHI-DNA crystal structure, thus demonstrating a diversity of mechanisms by which restriction enzymes are able to achieve specificity.

BLSA/Project Pipeline Shadow Day
Posted By Kevin R. Johnson, Jan 25, 2011
This past Friday, I had the opportunity to participate in the UC Davis Law Black Law Student Association (BLSA)/Project Pipeline "Day in the Life" Shadow Day, which took place as part of King Week, the Law School's annual celebration of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jihan Kahssay '12, Joanna Cuevas Ingram '12, Philip Person '11, and Sumair Khan '13 of BLSA organized an entire day designed to open the doors to educational opportunity--connecting current King Hall law students with local middle and high school age students from underrepresented communities--to expose students to critical legal analysis and the Socratic method early on, and to share the experiences of successful King Hall students and attorneys. Big thanks go out to all our law students who volunteered for this amazing event and made an indelible impression on these young advocates last Friday, including: Charles Oshinuga '11, Kyle Morishita '11, Layla Razavi '11, Kristen Busby '12, Elizabeth Crockett '12, Krista Della-Piana '12, Parissa Ebrahimzadeh '12, Kurtis Keller '12, John Stoller '12, Christian Acevedo '13, Ali Beheshti '13, Brenden Blake '13, Luong Chau '13, Charles Hellstrom '13, Eliza Hook '13, Fitz King '13, Fabiola Larios '13, Embert Madison '13, and Laurie Meinke '13. Here's a photo of the students of Smythe Academy with Judge Thorbourne, smiling after receiving their Certificates of Completion for participating in the program and the Moot Court Competition!
Thirty-three eager seventh- and eighth-grade students from Sacramento's Smythe Academy Middle School had an action-packed day here at King Hall, replete with: A "Scavenger Hunt," and mock Office Hours with a number of faculty, our UC Davis Law Career Services Office, and the UC Davis Law Academic Support Office; a mini Torts 101 Class generously presented by Professor Lisa Pruitt; a College Prep Game Show developed by Philip Person '11 and hosted by Joanna Cuevas Ingram '12 and Brandon Howard '13; a guest lecture by criminal defense attorney Keith Staten and delicious lunch; and a mini Moot Court Competition, judged by Judge Raoul Thorbourne of the Sacramento County Superior Court, with excellent coaching from our wonderful student volunteers!

Art © 2008 Vik Muniz/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY
An intellectual trickster engaged in appropriation and institutional critique, Vik Muniz creates photographs, objects, and scenarios that replicate images from art history and popular culture using nontraditional, often humorous materials and methodologies. Muniz is interested in how people consume images, and he plays with this notion endlessly, manipulating iconic images while consistently revealing the artifice of his ways.
While he most frequently works in photography, his work Verso (Nighthawks), 2008, is a three-dimensional object that replicates the back of Edward Hopper's famous painting Nighthawks, 1942. This work is part of a series, created over the course of six years, when Muniz visited the storage facilities of major museums to view and create exact replicas of the backs of famous paintings.
Installed on the floor as if it has just emerged from storage and is waiting to be hung, Muniz's work jolts viewers out of their traditional viewing experience into a place of uncertainty and enjoyment.

In 2006, Loughry published a book titled, "Don't Buy Another Vote. I Won't Pay for a Landslide: The Sordid and Continuing History of Political Corruption in West Virginia." Loughry included several quotes from the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd in the book.
"Byrd told me personally about how, if he started running in recent years, it would have been impossible for him to win an election in West Virginia, given the amount of money in politics," he said. "He grew up with very little money, but was able to go out and meet people and win an election and how impossible that would be today. I want to see things change."
During his campaign, Loughry said he spoke to people the same way, whether they were left-leaning or right-leaning.
"The West Virginia Supreme Court should not be political, People want to feel like they're selecting judges and not partisan politicians.
"Everywhere I went, talked about how judges should follow the law, whether dealing with a large corporation or an individual who is unemployed. Treat everybody the same."
Born in an Elkins hospital in 1970, Loughry grew up in Parsons in Tucker County. He graduated from Tucker High School in 1988, then earned a bachelor's degree in journalism at West Virginia University.
Later, he earned four different law degrees, including a main law degree from the Capital University School of Law in Columbus, Ohio.
"I joked with a friend that I wanted to see how far in debt I could possibly go," Loughry said.
"I grew up in a very average West Virginia household. My father was a construction worker. My mother worked in a shoe plant for a long time and is currently a secretary. They still live in Parsons."
Loughry also worked as an aide to former Gov. Gaston Caperton and spent seven years as a senior assistant attorney general in West Virginia.
"I also worked for two state Supreme Courts -- in Ohio while I was in law school and then in West Virginia. I worked with more than 20 justices on those two courts."
Loughry said he still drives a 1996 Jeep and lives in a 1,100 square foot residence not far from the Capitol with his wife, Kelly, and their son.
His 12-year term on the Supreme Court will begin at the beginning of January. He will be formally sworn into office in late December.
"I am deeply honored and humbled to be given this opportunity," he said.

Franklin Pierce University has taken actions in the following areas to reduce the University's carbon footprint:
Energy | Environmental Services | Food Services | Land Protection | Printing | Purchasing | Recycling
The following table presents data about the reduction in carbon footprint since 2005:
Conversion to wood pellet energy is our newest and most exciting initiative. We started the first phase of replacing our fossil fuel boilers with wood pellet boilers for heating campus buildings. This will save 49,000 gallons of oil per year, reducing greenhouse gas production by 493 metric tones of eCO2, and 109,000 gallons of propane per year, reducing greenhouse gas production by 618 metric tonnes of eCO2 (Carbon dioxide equivalents). This reduces FPU's greenhouse gas production by 1111 mT eCO2, or 13%!
Read the Feb. 2009 Manchester Union Leader article for more details about this project.
In addition, we have taken the following actions:
Franklin Pierce is one of only a handful of institutions of higher learning to place permanent, legal restrictions on undeveloped land near campus. In 2005, a 46-acre parcel of wetlands and upland forest, creating a wildlife corridor connecting Pool Pond and Pearly Pond, was protected with a conservation easement, which is held by the Monadnock Conservancy Land Trust. The Institution was recognized for these efforts by the National Wildlife Federation Campus Ecology program.
These efforts continue, on a larger scale. On the basis of a study by David Graham-Wolf for the Rindge Conservation Commission, a 300-acre parcel of land owned by Franklin Pierce was identified as having high-quality habitat and conservation value.
Franklin Pierce University is contracted with Sodexo Food Services. Sodexo has designed innovative kitchen and dining hall management systems to reduce the amount of energy and water used in food storage and preparation, and to minimize waste. At Franjklin Pierce University, Sodexo has taken the following actions to promote sustainability:
Locally-grown food
Reducing solid waste

The Cotton Club is a 1984 crime-drama, centered on a Harlem jazz club of the 1930s, the Cotton Club.
The movie was co-written (with William Kennedy) and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, choreographed by Henry LeTang, and starred Richard Gere, Gregory Hines, Diane Lane, and Lonette McKee. The supporting cast included Bob Hoskins, James Remar, Nicolas Cage, Allen Garfield, Laurence Fishburne, Gwen Verdon and Fred Gwynne.
Despite performing poorly at the box office, the film was nominated for several awards, including Golden Globes for Best Director and Best Picture (Drama) and Oscars for Best Art Direction (Richard Sylbert, George Gaines) and Film Editing.1 The film, however, also earned a Razzie Award nomination for Diane Lane as Worst Supporting Actress (also for Streets of Fire).
The Cotton Club was privately financed, paid for almost entirely by brothers Fred and Ed Doumani of Las Vegas. The movie was not successful, making only $25,928,721 on a budget of over $50 million.
A musician named Dixie Dwyer begins working with mobsters to advance his career but falls in love with the girlfriend of gangland kingpin Dutch Schultz.
A dancer from Dixie's neighborhood, Sandman Williams, is hired with his brother by the Cotton Club, a jazz club where most of the performers are black and the customers white. Owney Madden, a mobster, owns the club and runs it with his right-hand man, Frenchy.
Dixie becomes a Hollywood film star, thanks to the help of Madden and the mob but angering Schultz. He also continues to see Schultz's moll, Vera Cicero, whose new nightclub has been financed by the jealous gangster.
In the meantime, Dixie's ambitious younger brother Vincent becomes a gangster in Schultz's mob and eventually a public enemy, holding Frenchy as a hostage.
Sandman alienates his brother Clay at the Cotton Club by agreeing to perform a solo number there. While the club's management interferes with Sandman's romantic interest in Lila, a singer, its cruel treatment of the performers leads to an intervention by Harlem criminal "Bumpy" Rhodes on their behalf.
Dutch Schultz is violently dealt with by Madden's men while Dixie and Sandman perform on the Cotton Club's stage.

Inspired to make The Cotton Club by a picture-book history of the famous nightclub by James Haskins, Robert Evans was the film's original producer and also wanted to direct.2 He hired William Kennedy and Francis Ford Coppola to re-write Mario Puzo's story and screenplay. Evans eventually decided that he did not want to direct the film and asked Coppola at the last minute.3 Richard Sylbert claimed that he told Evans not to hire Coppola because "he resents being in the commercial, narrative, Hollywood movie business".4 Coppola claimed that he had letters from Sylbert that ask him to work on the film because Evans was crazy. The director also said that "Evans set the tone for the level of extravagance long before I got there".4
Coppola accepted the jobs as screenwriter and then director because he needed the money — he was deeply in debt from making One From the Heart with his own money.5 By the time Evans decided not to direct and brought in Coppola, at least $13 million had already been committed.4 Las Vegas casino owners Edward and Fred Doumani put $30 million into the film. Other financial backers included Arab arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, and vaudeville promoter Roy Radin, who was eventually murdered. According to William Kennedy in an interview with Vanity Fair, the budget of the film was $47 million. However, Coppola told the head of Gaumont, Europe's largest distribution and production company, that he thought the film might cost $65 million.2
Author Mario Puzo was the original screenwriter and was eventually replaced by William Kennedy5 who wrote a rehearsal script in eight days which the cast used for three weeks prior to shooting. According to actor Gregory Hines, a three-hour film was shot during rehearsals.2
Over 600 people built sets, created costumes and arranged music at a reported $250,000 a day.2
From July 15 to August 22, 1983, 12 scripts were produced, including five during one 48-hour non-stop weekend. Kennedy estimates that between 30-40 scripts were turned out.2
On June 7, 1984, Victor L. Sayyah filed a lawsuit against the Doumani brothers, their lawyer David Hurwitz, Evans and Orion Pictures for fraud and breach of contract.3 Sayyah invested $5 million and claimed that he had little chance of recouping his money because the budget escalated from $25 to $58 million. He accused the Doumanis of forcing out Evans and that an Orion loan to the film of $15 million unnecessarily increased the budget. Evans, in turn, sued Edward Doumani to keep from acting as general partner on the film.3
The Cotton Club was released on December 14, 1984 and grossed $2.9 million on its opening weekend, fourth place behind Beverly Hills Cop, Dune, and 2010.6 Robert Evans took the blame for hiring Coppola while the director responded that if he had not been hired, the film would have never been made. Evans claimed that Coppola made the budget escalate dramatically by rejecting the script, hiring his own crew, and falling behind schedule.6
This film appeared on both Siskel and Ebert's best of 1984.7 As of 4/7/2012 it holds a 74% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Regional Office History
Regional Office History
The Ohio Attorney General's Office has maintained a presence in Cleveland since the 1950's. "Special Counsel" was utilized to represent the Bureau of Workers' Compensation in Regional Board Hearings and the Department of Transportation for eminent domain proceedings during a prolific time of interstate road system expansion. Work for other sections of the Attorney General's Office was done primarily through special counsel, part-time Assistant Attorneys General, or by Assistant Attorneys General assigned to Columbus.
In the mid 1970's, Attorney General William Brown officially established the Cleveland Regional Office in the Leader Building. The office at that time housed a number of different sections: Transportation, Unemployment Compensation, Executive Agencies and Workers' Compensation. There were approximately 20 employees in that first office.
When the Lausche State Office Building was opened in 1979 at the corners of West Superior and Prospect Avenue, the Cleveland Regional Office was among the first tenants and began operation on the 8th floor. A later consolidation of a number of part-time Assistant Attorneys General in northeast and north central Ohio required more space, so a move was made to the 12
floor of the Lausche Building, formerly occupied by the Standard Oil Company. The office was shared, at that time, with the Governor, State Auditor, State Treasurer and the State Health Department.
Between 1986 and 1999, the Cleveland Regional Office expanded from a staff of 30 to approximately 65 employees representing about 20 counties in northern Ohio. In 2000, the office moved to its current home on the 11
floor of the Lausche Building, occupying the entire floor. Presently the office is comprised of over 80 employees, 40 of which are attorneys, with the remainder comprised of paralegals, investigators, field specialists and support staff. The current Cleveland Office represents 14 sections and services over 24 counties.
Ohio Attorney General Anthony J. Celebrezze, Jr. first opened offices in the Youngstown area in 1990. At that time, the office functioned solely as a regional location of the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and was located in the Youngstown-area suburb of Boardman.
When the Youngstown Regional Office relocated to downtown Youngstown in July 2007, three Assistant Attorneys General and three support staff were added to the office. In 2008, Collections Enforcement was added to the Youngstown Regional Office, and by 2012, the Collections Enforcement Staff had expanded to house six Claims Account Representatives, an Assistant Attorney General, and a local debt supervisor.
The Youngstown Regional Office encompasses approximately 18,000 square feet and has been specifically equipped for the investigation of computer crimes, evidence drop off/retrieval for regional police forces, regional OPOTA training, and task force operations. Currently, the Youngstown Office houses employees of BCI and 6 additional sections of the Attorney General's Office and has a total staff of 38.
The Ohio Attorney General's Office expanded into northwest Ohio when the Toledo Regional Office opened in May 1992 during the Lee Fisher administration. The office opened with five Assistant Attorneys General, representing the Transportation, Workers' Compensation, Health and Human Services, and Civil Rights sections. Two support-staff members and a regional liaison were also part of the inaugural staff. The office also housed five BCI special agents.
The Toledo Regional Office now houses 10 Assistant Attorneys General, three support staff, a paralegal, an account representative, and two investigators. New sections represented include Environmental Enforcement, Consumer, Crime Victim, and Collections Enforcement.
The Toledo Regional Office, first located at the former Fifth Third Bank building, was moved to One SeaGate under Attorney General Betty Montgomery. In September 2004, the office was relocated to its current home in One Government Center, which places employees close to local courts and to the regional offices of state agencies.
The Cincinnati Regional Office was opened in February 1983 under Attorney General Anthony J. Celebrezze, Jr. When the office first opened, it had 3 full time employees. The office remained at its opening location on Eighth Street for one year. Afterward, the office moved to Seventh Street in downtown Cincinnati in the Executive Building to accommodate an expanding staff.
The Cincinnati Regional Office remained in the Executive Building until January 1992, when it relocated to its current location in the Carew Tower. Currently, the Cincinnati Regional office has 40 employees and represents more than 10 sections of the Attorney General's Office.

I'm a semi-new user to InDesign, so it's possible that I'm missing something here... Using InDesign CS4, I've setup a file to be used as a template pamphlet, with several placeholder frames that include placeholder content. I've set each frame with specific Frame Fitting Options (in the actual dialog box, not just selected from the menu). When I attempt to relink the placeholder content to the new files, the placeholder frames lose the Frame Fitting Options I've specified and convert to however the graphics are placed as default. How can I preserve my Frame Fitting Options? Is there not a way?
PS - The relinked files are of varying shapes and sizes, so the "Preserve image dimensions when Relinking" under Preferences > File Handling is not quite the answer I'm looking for...
Thanks for the help!
Hmm, I went ahead and double checked this even though I've already tried it. It does not keep my fitting options preserved. I have Fit content proportionally to frame as well as Center content, and neither of these are applied after I relink the source image. What am I missing here... is it possible it's a bug or a fluke?
OK, I've been playing some more, and it appears that it might have worked for me the first time becuse of the order I was relinking, though I don't think that's it. In any case, it's no longer working here, either, and I've also trashed the prefs, so I'd have to say it may be a bug. No chance it will get fixed.
It's not going to work and I don't think it's a bug...
Two things to remember...
Frame fitting options are for empty frames > relinking won't work.
Preserve dimensions, does just that... preserves dimensions (not fitting) > relinking won't work.
Actaully what could work... is a script.
The frame fitting options are still applied to each frame, the only issue is that the new pix do not use those settings... All you need to do is access each and every object, open frame fitting options and hit enter.

Tomography refers to imaging by sections or sectioning, through the use of any kind of penetrating wave. A device used in tomography is called a tomograph, while the image produced is a tomogram. Tomography as the computed tomographic (CT) scanner was invented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, and thereby made an exceptional contribution to medicine. The method is used in radiology, archaeology, biology, atmospheric science, geophysics, oceanography, plasma physics, materials science, astrophysics, quantum information, and other sciences. In most cases it is based on the mathematical procedure called tomographic reconstruction.
The word tomography is derived from the Greek tomē ("cut") or tomos ("part" or "section") and graphein ("to write").
In conventional medical X-ray tomography, clinical staff make a sectional image through a body by moving an X-ray source and the film in opposite directions during the exposure. Consequently, structures in the focal plane appear sharper, while structures in other planes appear blurred.[1] By modifying the direction and extent of the movement, operators can select different focal planes which contain the structures of interest. Before the advent of more modern computer-assisted techniques, this technique, developed in the 1930s by the radiologist Alessandro Vallebona, proved useful in reducing the problem of superimposition of structures in projectional (shadow) radiography.
In a 1953 article in the medical journal Chest, B. Pollak of the Fort William Sanatorium described the use of planography, another term for tomography.[2]
Modern tomography[edit]
More modern variations of tomography involve gathering projection data from multiple directions and feeding the data into a tomographic reconstruction software algorithm processed by a computer.[3] Different types of signal acquisition can be used in similar calculation algorithms in order to create a tomographic image. Tomograms are derived using several different physical phenomena listed in the following table:[citation needed]
Physical phenomenon | Type of tomogram |
X-rays | CT |
gamma rays | SPECT |
radio-frequency waves | MRI |
electron-positron annihilation | PET |
electrons | Electron tomography or 3D TEM |
muons | Muon tomography |
ions | atom probe |
magnetic particles | magnetic particle imaging |
Some recent advances rely on using simultaneously integrated physical phenomena, e.g. X-rays for both CT and angiography, combined CT/MRI and combined CT/PET.
The term volume imaging might describe these technologies more accurately than the term tomography. However, in the majority of cases in clinical routine, staff request output from these procedures as 2-D slice images. As more and more clinical decisions come to depend on more advanced volume visualization techniques, the terms tomography/tomogram may go out of fashion.[citation needed]
Many different reconstruction algorithms exist. Most algorithms fall into one of two categories: filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR). These procedures give inexact results: they represent a compromise between accuracy and computation time required. FBP demands fewer computational resources, while IR generally produces fewer artifacts (errors in the reconstruction) at a higher computing cost.[3]
Although MRI and ultrasound make cross sectional images they don't acquire data from different directions. In MRI spatial information is obtained by using magnetic fields. In ultrasound, spatial information is obtained simply by focusing and aiming a pulsed ultrasound beam.
Synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy[edit]
A new technique called synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM) allows for detailed three-dimensional scanning of fossils.[4]
Types of tomography[edit]
Discrete tomography and Geometric tomography, on the other hand, are research areas[citation needed] that deal with the reconstruction of objects that are discrete (such as crystals) or homogeneous. They are concerned with reconstruction methods, and as such they are not restricted to any of the particular (experimental) tomography methods listed above.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) — Congress returns from a recess on Monday and lawmakers have to work quickly if they want to avoid automatic funding cuts.
"Sequestration" has been a buzz word across the nation last couple of weeks.
It's a fancy word for across-the-board funding cuts for government agencies and programs.
Here in Western Mass. for example, a pre-school program called Head Start faces severe cuts if Congress doesn't act to avoid the Sequester by March 1st.
So today, Governor Deval Patrick will speak on national television against those funding cuts.
He will join other governors on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday to talk about the impacts of the funding cuts.
The biggest impact we are looking at is widespread economic fallout.
But besides that nationwide impact, you could feel the impact of the cuts in your every day lives.
Head Start in Massachusetts will lose $9 million in funding, which means Holyoke Chicopee Springfield Head Start will lose money.
College students won't be able to receive as much in grants or work-study.
If the meat industry has to shut down for 15 days, meat prices will go up.
National parks will have reduced services.
And unemployment benefits will be cut.
Congress has until March 1st to find a solution.
If they do not find a solution in time, the cuts will take effect automatically.
Meet the Press airs 11 A.M. Sunday morning right here on 22News.

Use only ethical ways for SEO and if you wanna increase traffic then use social media sites.
It is important to plan the online marketing activities in accordance with the nature of the product / services you are promoting. It is also important to select the right keywords and work on them on a consistent basis.
---[url=http://autofits.com/]Autofits Packaging Pvt. Ltd.[/url]
There is no silver bullet here, every business and every market requires different approaches to bring the business and its customers together. All SEO guys say SEO is the best, All Social Media people say Social Media is the best and so on. As a business owner, you really have to work out what is the best way to reach your customers. Even within your business, you will have different methods for different customers. You just have to work out which customers are the most valuable and the cheapest and most effective way to reach them.
Although we do direct marketing lists, like mailing and telemarketing lists, we generally use SEO and adwords to reach our market, as I have found this the most effective for us.
I also have another business that does hospitality supplies, which SEO and adwords do not work so well, I use telemarketing to get the customers' name, contact persons' name and direct email address and then add them to our mailing list. We first send them an introductory email, outlining what we do, then follow up emails once a month promoting specials. Once they buy, we then send a second email each month this is an order form. This order form shows the history of what they have ordered over the past 12 months and makes it easy for them to re-order supplies. This is another great form of digital marketing.
You really have to just trial some methods and see how they go?

Martha Stewart, the comeback kid, is making the media rounds, promoting her new book, "Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts." Earlier this week, she was on the Today show, demonstrating how to marbleize paper. Her finished samples also included pretty, pastel marbleized eggs. Perfect for Easter, I thought.
Then, the Washington Post ran a story about the book and included directions for another decoration. It's not exactly about food, but it involves eggs and is so easy that I'd thought I'd share it in case you didn't see the article.
I also learned that Martha twitters. (Of course, she does. She can do everything.) Time manager that she is, she allows herself 10 minutes a day to do her tweets. Okay, I couldn't resist. I'm now one of her more than 300,000 followers.
This weekend, I'll be making these for my Easter table, courtesy of Martha and the Post. How will you be decorating your place?
Glittered eggs
Gather chicken eggs and, if possible, eggs of other sizes. Make a pinhole on each end of an egg, blow out contents and rinse inside thoroughly. Let dry.
Set out bowls of glitter and pour a small amount of white craft glue into another bowl. Use a small paintbrush to cover an egg with glue, then set the egg in a bowl of glitter, spooning glitter over the entire egg.
Remove the egg carefully from the bowl and dry it on a rack or waxed paper for one hour before displaying.

Comment: This cover is a great deal for the price. I did notice that since it's the "Ultralite" cover it was very thin, and during heavy rain, with the cover tied securely, a good bit of water still got on my bike. It could've also been from the 2 vents on the cover, good for venting, but during heavy rain, the single velcro fastener doesn't keep it secure. All in all though, it's a great cover that does its job, I haven't had any other problems with it.

I orderd an XL and I am pleased with the fit and quality of material. I did leave my bike out one night and moisture beaded on the cover much like Gortex. I do not know how it will peform in rain.

It's been almost 30 years since I was moved to write another letter to a paper, but the urge to respond to the recent comments by Sen. Jim Forrester was just too much to resist.
I think we have been given a beautiful opportunity here to practice compassion for those less fortunate. One thing I've learned about human nature so far is that there will always be haters and usually it's not you they hate, but themselves.
Many people have suffered traumas in their upbringing that continue to manifest throughout their lives and frequently [they] target those around them. Just remember: When someone lashes out at you, it's not really about you at all. It's just their own demons surfacing.
I do have one issue with the title "Cesspool of Sin," however — it is just so awesome. I mean seriously, a marketing firm couldn't have come up with something that great. Out here in Black Mountain we're just the "Rocking Chair on the Front Porch of Western North Carolina."
I invite Mr. Forrester to visit our little town to dig into the dark underbelly of sin and see if he can come up with a new slogan for us. Keep up the good work, Asheville. Where can I buy a T-shirt?
