Property tax burden shifts toward Duluth businesses
Duluth landlords, merchants and other owners of commercial property expressed dismay last week at the jump in their projected property tax bills.By: Peter Passi, Duluth News Tribune
Duluth landlords, merchants and other owners of commercial property expressed dismay last week at the jump in their projected property tax bills.
At the same time, many homeowners are seeing proposed tax bills on par with 2012.
The difference, according to local officials, is because of the rising value of some commercial property and the dropping value of many homes.
Residents of St. Louis County recently received mailed notices of the likely size of their 2013 property tax bills. Actual tax rates have not yet been finalized, but the proposed tax notices set the maximum level.
Joe Kleiman of Kleiman Realty said he owns a 5,000-square-foot office building on London Road that already costs him about $27,000 a year in property taxes, and next year he has been advised that tax bill will go up another $2,000.
"We all have to pay taxes, and we all should pay our fair share," he said. "But commercial taxes are hugely out of whack, and at some point there's going to be a breaking point."
Falling property values will cushion many homeowners from the impact of higher tax rates, said City Assessor Gregg Swartwoudt. Some homeowners actually will see smaller tax bills in the coming year.
For the owner of a $150,000 homesteaded residence in Duluth, net property taxes are projected to increase by $105 from this year to next, rising from $1,813 in 2012 to $1,918 in 2013, according to St. Louis County Auditor Don Dicklich. That's an increase of 5.8 percent.
But in Duluth, most residential properties worth $400,000 or less had their valuations reduced by 4 percent, Swartwoudt said.
The tax burden doesn't go away, Dicklich said — it simply shifts.
"If you're seeing a reduction in your property taxes, someone else is paying more," he said.
Unlike residential properties, Swartwoudt said the values of commercial properties have generally held stable.
Looking at seven to eight properties his firm manages in Duluth, Sandy Hoff, president of F.I. Salter Co. Inc., said their assessed values have remained steady, but his tax bill has increased by about 5 percent across the board.
"That creates a challenge for us as property managers," he said, explaining that it's difficult to pass on those expenses to tenants who are already struggling.
"I'm not against the park and library referendum; I think they will do nice things for our community," Hoff said. "But we need to be very mindful when we have 5 percent increases like this. They can't continue. We need to reel in the cost of government so it's in line with inflation."
He noted that next year's property taxes look likely to grow at about double the rate of inflation.
The challenge is especially great for owners of commercial property that has markedly appreciated in value, said Dave Holappa of Holappa Commercial Real Estate. He pointed to London Road, the Miller Trunk Highway corridor and Grand Avenue as a few areas where commercial property values have recently taken a leap.
"The city has been very aggressive about increasing property valuations even during this downturn," he said. "Landlords don't have any way to recoup these kinds of taxes."
Jerry Kortesmaki, the owner of London Road Rental and Party Express, said taxes on the properties that house his businesses are poised to climb more than 34 percent next year — a $4,702 hike to the $13,600 in property taxes he paid this year.
Kortesmaki recently looked at refinancing his operations and noted that the city's assessed valuation of his property is greater than his bank told him it was worth.
"We're really getting gouged on commercial property," he said.
Despite some frustrations, Swartwoudt said his office hasn't received as many complaints and questions as last year, when the state of Minnesota did away with its homestead credit, replacing it with a homestead exclusion.
The state stopped paying down property taxes for qualifying residents and instead ordered local governments to exclude a portion of a home's value from taxation. The exclusion program can lower — for taxation purposes only — a property's value by as much as $30,400 for a $76,000 residence. The more a home is worth, the smaller a break it receives. The exclusion disappears altogether for houses worth $413,800 or more.
The switch to an exclusion program reduced local tax bases, leading to double-digit tax rate increases last year in St. Louis County and around the state.
Dicklich said the homestead changes had an especially large impact in St. Louis County, where relatively few residences are expensive enough to be ineligible for an exclusion.
"We're certainly not Edina," he observed.
As home valuations have been adjusted downward to reflect a softened housing market, Brandon Larson, tax division manager for St. Louis County, said the local tax base has continued to shrink.
"A lot of times, with the home values going down, people are getting more of an exclusion, and more of the burden is going to shift to businesses," he said.
St. Louis County has scheduled a public meeting to receive comments on its proposed 2013 tax levy and operating budget at 7 p.m. Thursday in the County Boardroom on the second floor of the county courthouse in Duluth.

In celebration of April as National Poetry Month, I've picked five fabulous poets, some with books you can pick up and feel, and others who only can be found on the Internet. Funny poems are best when shared aloud, so grab your loved ones and read them a poem.
CJ Heck is a grandma, columnist, author and poet. Her Barking Spiders website shares a title with her first published poetry book for kids. The site includes poems written from a child's perspective, stories, tongue twisters, printable mazes, tips for budding authors, favorite quotes and fill-in-the-blank poems to complete. There's music on every page (ugh!) but you can always turn your speakers off. "I wish I had a puppy... wish I had a kitten, too But Mommy says our 'partment Is too small to have a zoo."
Poet Gareth Lancaster confides that although so far his poems have only been published online, he's keeping "his fingers crossed." After perusing his work, I'm sure he'll be able to uncross those fingers very, very soon. Each poem is reader rated on a scale of one to five, and includes a simple voting mechanism. Visit The Top Ten to see the most popular of the site's sixty-six poems. "Pardon me, that was so rude, It was not me, it was my food. But then again it could be said, It's the little person in my head. Who sits up there all day long, Burping out a silly song."
I've been a Kenn Nesbitt fan for many years, with three dog-eared Nesbitt books to prove it. Before becoming a full-time poet, Nesbitt was a software developer. Today devotes his technical expertise to his website, which is enormous and my pick of the week. Highlights are his poems (of course), poetry games, poetry lessons, a rhyming dictionary, and audio recordings (you'll need to register for these.) "My sister thinks she's Santa Claus. It's really kind of cute. She likes to shout out 'Ho, Ho, Ho!' and wears a bright red suit."
Shakespeery is another pre-published poet. He began writing eight years ago after being inspired by the Shel Silverstein poem "Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out." In addition to the illustrated poems, Shakespeery has an excellent links section and a guestbook to sign. "Cedric played his radio So loud inside his room, It shook and jarred the neighborhood Just like a sonic boom.'"
Ted Scheu calls himself a "children's writer and teacher" and his site has a terrific teacher's section explaining how (and why) to bring poetry to life in the classroom. Sheu's poem section includes both audio and written works. The red links are for listening, and bthe lue ones are for reading. "The library is where I go to launch myself and fly. I swoop and loop above the earth, a thousand stories high."

Butterflied Turkey a la RV
November 13, 2012 by Vickie Medley · Leave a Comment
Last year we celebrated our first Thanksgiving in the RV and I knew I was going to fix a turkey no matter what. We have a convection oven and I knew the only hurdle I would need to overcome was the size of the turkey. So, if you're new to RVing or have not tried cooking a turkey inside your RV, let me share how easy it is.
I saw a recipe about butterflying a turkey and I knew that would work for us. Butterflying would help reduce the height of the turkey allowing it to be on the rack in the convection oven. I found that a 12 lb. turkey works well. Once butterflied, the glaze goes on beautifully leaving us with a moist tender turkey.
12 lb. turkey
2 Tbls. salt
2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. baking powder
2 onions
3 cups apple juice
1 cup whole fresh cranberries
¾ cup Maple Syrup
1 Tbls. grated fresh ginger
1 Tbls. mustard
Remove giblets and neck from turkey. Rinse the inside of the turkey and pat dry. Place the turkey breast side down on a non-slippery surface.
With a sharp knife cut close against the backbone on both sides to remove. You may need to use scissors to cut through some of the parts but with patience you will get it done.
Flip the turkey over and using the palms of your hands, one on top of the other, press down on the breast bone until you hear it pop. The turkey will now lie flatter.
Using your fingers, or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently separate the skin from the meat of the turkey on the breast and thighs. Take a fork and prick the breast and thighs all over.
Mix together half of the salt and pepper and rub over the back of the turkey on the meat and bones. Flip the turkey over and rub salt under the skin on the breast and thighs. Turn the wings of the turkey under the breast and tie the legs with twine and tuck under bottom of breast.
Blot the top of the turkey dry. Mix together the rest of the salt and pepper and add baking powder. Sprinkle over the top of turkey. Using your hands rub the mixture into the skin.
Peel and cut the onions in half. Place each half under the top of the breast and bottom of the breast to lift the turkey up from the pan. Let the turkey sit too dry for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees and bake the turkey for 3 hours or until thermometer reads 160 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the breast.
Remove from oven and let rest for 1 – 1 ½ hours.
While turkey is resting mix together in a medium pan the apple juice, cranberries, maple syrup, grated ginger and mustard. Stir over medium heat until boiling. Let boil gently for thirty minutes or until reduced in half.
Side Note: Be careful while stirring the mixture because the berries will be popping and can splatter and burn.
When the glaze is done, pour through a fine sieve into another bowl. Mash the mixture in the sieve to get as much juice as possible.
Turn oven up to 450 degrees. Brush the glaze on the turkey and bake for 10 minutes.
Glaze the turkey again and bake for another 10 minutes. Glaze one last time and bake for the final 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
Use remaining glaze to pass at the table and drizzle over turkey.
We will be doing this turkey for many years to come. The flavors melded perfectly with the natural juices of the turkey and the cranberry maple glaze.
This recipe produces a moist subtly flavored turkey that can't be beat. Part of that secret is the slow cooking in the beginning and the final blast of heat at the end. The baking powder helps to crisp the skin of the turkey and keeps the juices in. This was the perfect recipe for our first Thanksgiving in the RV.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving whether it's with a roasted, deep-fried or store bought turkey!

U2, October 16, 2001 concert by Elizabeth Rosario
The trek my sister and I took from Orlando to Chicago was more than worth it as the initial notes of Elevation filled the air and the crowd began to roar...I knew the night of a lifetime had begun. With the floor pulsing and arms raised the magic of U2 penetrated every being present. The hopeful Beautiful Day led into Until The End Of The World followed by New Years Day and I Will Follow, reminding us of where it all started. Sunday Bloody Sunday burned an image of Bono at the tip of the heart cradling an American flag that had been handed to him by a member of the crowd, while Stuck In A Moment and Kite reminded us of the need to 'seize the day!'
Desire brought out all four members from the safe haven of the main stage to the tip of the heart where they were graciously welcomed. The toned down version of Stay created a feeling that I was in a small club but suddenly was reminded of my surroundings as All I Want Is You was accompanied by a sold out United Center singing backup. Where The Streets Have No Name was a spectacular scene as three silhouettes stood against a solid red background and one ran across it.
Bono took us to church with Still Haven?t Found What I'm Looking For and reminded us again of the importance of love with Pride. Bullet The Blue Sky was performed with Bono holding one stage light and flashing it throughout the crowd taking us back to 1987 and the Joshua Tree tour. What's Going On was a call and a reminder to get involved while New York was performed with a spirit that only it can produce. To close the show with One and Walk On was, for lack of a better word, appropriate. It created a sense of belief in a higher power and a want to believe in each other.
The energy generated that night left me not only feeling like I could change the world, but actually wanting to. There's something to be said about a band who, for more than twenty years, have been producing that kind of fire in others. Cheers to them and their message and may it continue for years to come.

text: B-215-1 Esteemed Friend Thomas Rotch Newport 10th of 1 Mo 1812 Altho' I have had a desire to address thee on the subject of Ohio ever since I have heard of thy conclusion to remove there, I have been detered by one or other cause which have now nearly subsided, or that I have determined to encounter them; after my Wife & self were at your house, nearly two years & a half since, we traversed the Country, in divers directions in pursuit of land, but found none to our liking, or accomodated to our property, we returned home, but not without some prospects even of embracing some of the opportunities that then offered but not being satisfied therewith, I took a tour in the 11th Mo that year to Easton,& I should have gone father Westward, but the season was too far advanced & my horse proved lame, it seemed that all my tryals for a removal were frustrated; accordingly I endeavoured to be as Quiet as possible at home for a Season, but the succeeding Year I thought to do something more to the purpose, I undertook to erect a Tanery which after much Labour & expence I have brought to considerable perfection & nearly taned out one stock, but the embarrassments of business among us & the extensiveness with which it is already carried on in & near this place affords but small encouragement to beginners & as I am obliged Some to hire ^ this & the Interest on the capital & the attendant perplexities in purchasing & selling & credit & many things not easy, or necessary to be described has determined me to give up the business & to remove from Newport. I have never before felt resolved, but as I have tried & proved all the means that I think proper I feel no longer any restraint upon my going, but altogether easy, to follow the dictates of may Judgment, it^seem fickle to thee that I have so soon proposed to abandon the business I have undertaken but from tryals I have made at seling I find it impassible to continue it to advantage, & shall be obliged to sacrifice the greatest part of the profits. I therefore intend to sell or lett the yard dispose of the stock & go into the Country, & buy Land it I have long tho of Ohio but^has been at so great a distance that the Women could not indure the Idea, but since Charity & Patience Graham, are there & Mary Morton & Elizabeth Coggshall have brought a good report of the Land the distance seems much Shortened, & my Wife has not only listened but consented to go. We have for some Years been talking of the Western part of York State, but as I apprehend Ohio holds out the advantages of a better Climate & soil & cheaper, & indeed a more refined Society I am very strongly inclined towards that Country

And the following bonuses!
I have been teaching medical coding in a full time or part time capacity since 1999. Back in the day I took all the certification exams so that my students could see that I felt their pain and knew what they were going to be going through. This helped me to understand the format of the exams and prepare my students for what was going to be covered in the exam.
But my students wanted more. A few years ago while I was teaching a longer CPC traing class, my students pleaded "Help us get ready for next weeks exam!" So we reviewed the whole CPC training program in two days. And that's how the Blitz Videos were born.
For over 11 years now I have been teaching this review program- with many students successfully passing their CPC exam after viewing my videos.
This program works. It's worked for hundreds of people. But don't take my work for it. Here's just some of the testimonials I have received from some of the happy students who have purchased my CPC Exam preparation Videos over the last few years:
"At age 49, I started to go back to school in a MBC program, Graduated at age 50 with high honors, and valedictorian…. I attended an alumni meeting a year later, and the MBC Program Director hired me to teach the MBC Externship Program…. I had to become CPC certified within months to keep employment there. I failed the first time, couldn't finish in the 5-1/2 hours allotted then.
Failed the second time by the skin of my teeth- 69. And then restudied, restudied and bought your Videos, which I viewed a few times.
Going through the CPT book and highlighting guidelines and all those tips made the exam go smoother. I took the exam, passed and incredibly finished in 4-1/2 hours. That's a record for me. Yes, it cost me again to pay for the exam but I have no regrets whatsoever. Your videos helped me tremendously the 3rd time around and I just wanted to say thanks to you. 3 Times was a charm for me. NEVER GIVE UP. Keep up the great work. You are awesome, you teach from your heart and your tips are EXCELLENT.
- Mary
and another…
Dear Laureen, I found out today that I passed the CPC exam with 87%. Your blitz videos were extremely helpful. I learned so much more from these videos than I ever did in school. Every chapter was well structured and easy to follow. It boosted my confidence and kept me motivated all along. I can't thank you enough….
- Gratefully, Kartika Shree, CPC-A
A personal message from Laureen…
Here's what's great about these videos:
They prepare you to pass the certification exam ON THE FIRST TRY

Watching the online videos are cheaper than the live event I do twice a year
They help you be more confident about passing the CPC exam
You can fit watching the videos into your own schedule
Easier to digest/ take in the information on video than at a live event
You can pause the videos
You can rewatch the videos in the areas you need to work on
If it's a medical coding area that you feel comfortable with, you can skip it and save time studying
You can spend more time studying problem areas
My Blitz videos are the only CPC exam preparation video system available on the internet!
You can get started NOW with the online videos!
Here is what other people who passed their exam on the first try have said about my Coding Certification Blitz Videos:
I'm one of the ones that passed the certification exam because of your Blitz videos…I'm back in class taking refresher coding courses to keep my self abreast of the updates. I'm in 2 classes with about 20 students in each class, all trying to get certified. As your Blitz was such a blessing to me, I printed from the internet your advertisement page for your Blit Videos. I'm going to give each of my classmates a copy and let them know that I had tried passing the certification exam several times and didn't pass until I viewed your videos. I hope some, if not all, will take an interest and will order your videos. Thanks again for the help you have been to me.
- Mary L. Springs
Dear Laureen: I've just received notification that I've passed my CPC exam- on the first try!!! There is no way I would have passed the exam without your Blitz Course. The advice and tips you gave are invaluable. Money well spent. I hope to use this certification and my past experience to become an instructor in medical coding and billing. Thank you so much for this step up to my future career!!
- Virginia Farrell, CPC, Suffern, NY
Each video is between 20 – 35 minutes in length. Enough to completely cover each section while at the same time allowing you to take breaks between sessions covering a specific topic.
You can then go on to the next topic or play the last video again.
Each section refers to your CPT manual so you can follow along and see how to best use your book during the exam. After all it is an open book exam. You'll be able to find the codes you need in the shortest time.
"Proprietary Bubble and Highlighting Technique": how to mark and highlight your CPT and ICD coding manual to make it easier to choose the correct answer of the choices given for any question on the exam
A complete, comprehensive review of what is covered on the CPC exam: an exhaustive review of all the various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures covered on the exam
A guide to doing well on the exam: the program will also demonstrate ways to go through the process of taking the exam in the most efficient manner, making best use of the time allowed.
How to best manage some questions you might find more difficult than others.
How you can look up codes during your exam relating to diagnoses and procedures in the most efficient manner.
How to take the exam: the mindset needed to not focus on the 'little things" but focus on the important of coding guidelines.
The videos are an exhaustive review of the beginning of the CPT book to the end. I not only cover the entire CPT manual, but also
01 Introduction to the program This is an overview and the video you would play first. It's about what to expect at the exam, how many sections, time allowed and efficient time management strategies. It gives details on how to prepare your coding manual for efficient referencing, since this is an open-book test. It also describes a system of dealing with questions that appear difficult so as not to waste precious time during the exam.
02 Medical Terminology CPC Exam Prep Since coding requires knowing the names of medical procedures, as well as basic human anatomy, this section covers how medical terms are formulated. Emphasis is placed on meanings of various prefixes and suffixes as various root words used in naming medical conditions and procedures.
03 HCPCS CPC Exam Prep Medical supplies and durable medical equipment used in treating patients. Medical transport (ambulance). Splints and orthotic devices. Pathology and laboratory procedures. Medicare and Non-Medicare codes. Medicaid only codes. Letter= designated codes (F codes, Q codes, etc.) Drug codes. (using the appendix of your coding manual)
04 Modifiers CPC Exam Prep Two-digit suffix codes added to the end of a code to indicate if there is extra charge or is the service part of a bundled procedure. This is necessary for billing purposes. This section explains the various modifiers. These are codes for follow-up, suture removal, complications, etc.
05 ICD-9 CPC Exam Prep The ICD-9 manual covers hospital charges for in-patient admissions. Hints on how to tab the ICD-9 coding manual for quick and easy access to the information you need for any exam question that can. Know the pitfalls that can trip you on the board exam like burn coding, AIDS, etc.
06 E&M Section CPC Exam Prep There are twelve questions on E&M (Evaluation and Management) on the CPC exam. Whether the patient is an in-patient.

Passing the CPC exam is your first step in entering or moving up in working as a medical coder. Being certified gives you certain advantages, including:
Having a recognized qualification. Important if you're an entry-level coder.
Even if you're experienced, being certified makes it easier to seek out new opportunities.

Don't you want to prepare and give yourself the best chance to succeed?
What you will be getting is my 2 day/ 12 hour video presentation of myself going though my actual coding manuals and powerpoint slides with you. This is a very effective way to learn this type of material. You will see my key manual guideline notes and learn my proprietary "Bubbling and Highlighting System" to help you quickly find the KEY ANSWERS in your manuals during the open book CPC exams.
This will help YOU highlight your own book so you can quickly find your own answers when you take the exam. Instead of flipping back and forth between pages where the guidelines are, the answers are right next to the codes when you take the board exam- JUMPING OUT AT YOU. My students swear by this technique! They've said it gave them the confidence that they needed to pass the exam.
Another plus: My Bubbling and Highlighting Technique helps you in your day to day coding work AFTER the exam too!

Some doctors think it's possible that taking calcium supplements may increase your risk of a heart attack. Other doctors believe that calcium supplements have little or no effect on your heart attack risk.
There's concern about calcium supplements and heart attack risk because many people take calcium supplements to treat or prevent bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. A recent study from the National Institutes of Health suggests there is an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular diseases from taking calcium supplements for men only. Other studies suggest there is an increased risk for both men and women.
It's thought that the calcium in supplements could make its way into fatty plaques in your arteries — a condition called atherosclerosis — causing those plaques to harden and increase your risk of heart disease.
More research is needed before doctors know the effect calcium supplements may have on your heart attack risk. The calcium supplements that some doctors are concerned about are those that contain only calcium — not supplements that combine calcium and vitamin D or multivitamin supplements. Calcium from food sources, such as dairy and green leafy vegetables, is not a concern.
Current recommendations regarding calcium supplements for people who have, or have risk factors for, osteoporosis haven't changed. As with any health issue, it's important to talk to your doctor to determine what's best in your case.

Salvation Army Launches Kettle Drive with Help from Governor, CBS 8 Gov. Robert Bentley and members of the CBS 8 News team were at the steps of the Alabama Capitol Monday morning to launch The Salvation Army's Kettle Campaign in Montgomery. The Salvation Army's familiar red kettles from the Montgomery office will be stationed throughout Montgomery, Autauga and Elmore counties. There will be 32 kettles in all for people to drop in money to help provide aid for people in need. Governor Bentley made the first donation during his news conference with officials from The Salvation Army. This year, Salvation Army Captain Mark Gilliam says the need is greater than ever. "We're looking to help thousands men women, families with children that stay in our shelter throughout the year, emergency shelter, we also feed thousands with our lunch program, this Christmas we'll be helping out with food clothing and toys," Gilliam told CBS 8 News. "This is also a time that we should care for each other, love each other, take care of each other. That's what we're supposed to do as Christians. The Salvation Army has done this for years," Governor Bentley said. Once again this year, members of the CBS 8 News team will help ring the bells at kettles throughout the area. It's our way of helping the community and to say thanks to all of you who take time to help The Salvation Army. |

At the rite of passage into the adult world teenagers are possessed, particularly viscerally, by the relative world. The body is a vehicle for sensory physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experience......From this perspective imagine the profound, mysterious transformation happening at that time. The environment is seen through the vale of visceral fascination which flips from the sublime to the morbid - ecstasy to paralyzing pain - excitement to boredom. As extremes of emotion are experienced, so the transition point in the middle is filled with confusion and uncertainty. Feeling........awkward / nothing fits in with demands / wants to change the world / can't bare fixedness / the body is changing at a rate never before seen / new sensory organs come online.
Could a building reflect and help reconcile this transformation we all go through? A place they could feel 'at home' in - when the 'home' which they have loved throughout their life suddenly becomes alien - when the one place of security and protection becomes a restriction and the people you love who live there appear all too well defined. A building which offers security and familiarity, domestic in scale, but with unusual freedom - stable and yet free. A building which expresses duality - two opposing forces / geometries. The geometry of the site context containing a rebellious form which cuts through the site in a gesture of defiance. The site context provides a solid, familiarity.....a comforting brick environment with the almost domestic proportions of the Victorian shop and the Coates School building.
The new building follows the existing urban geometry and forms a similarly proportioned three story end elevation to Jersey Street. Although the Pickford Street elevation is 'longer' in scale and more akin to its neighbouring MM2 development, it is still 'polite' and sensibly adheres to its contextual geometry.
Inherent within the placing of the main accommodation at the back of the site, is the lack of a presence on Great Ancoats Street. The solution is to slice a link though the gap between the end of the Coates School and the gable of the MM2 apartment block, terminating at Great Ancoats Street as the point of entrance. The form of this link manifests itself as a 'leaning' wall wedged between the existing brick containment which continues on to slice though the orthogonal main building. In cutting the main building a triangular, double height, vertical space is formed, the stair cascades up the side of the wall completing the journey of circulation, always in relation to this 'rogue' angular gesture. From a conceptual perspective this rogue element will fuel a synergistic relationship with the centre and its not so old, not so square, visitors.
The main accommodation building is orthogonal, rational and simple in its expression, this is to provide an overall stability and will enhance the juxtaposed angular sliced leaning wall. The windows are all orthogonal too, but are spaced in a random way. Again, this is to balance all the right angles, too many aligned grids can feel oppressive.
The people who 'are' 42nd Street have become particularly adept at dealing with the desire to self harm, to cut in order to express or release powerful overwhelming forces. Inherent within this desire is the notion of balancing, curing with like for like, violence cancelled by violence.
Leonard Cohen wrote the lyrics: 'There is a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in'. To release this building from its completeness as a 'box' a 17M long glass slot slices through its core - that's how the light gets in.
Such vulnerability as this must be protected at all costs, it's what keeps us straying too far from ourselves. Four steel Sentinels stand guard, they demand / inspire your attention and clarity of heart, before you pass into this modern manifestation of sacred space.
Once inside be prepared for the unexpected: tapering stairs, angled rooms, leaning walls, a corridor to nowhere - and wardrobes which are passages to the psychologically protected land of one to one therapy.

Definition of myxovirus in English:
Syllabification: myx·o·vi·rusPronunciation: /ˈmiksəˌvīrəs
- Any of a group of RNA viruses, including the influenza virus.More example sentences
- On the other hand, Flu is caused by a virus called myxovirus which spreads faster than the common cold virus.
- This realization of the helical symmetry of the myxoviruses laid the foundation for the understanding of the symmetry of other complex groups of viruses such as rabies virus and granulosis virus.
- These results suggested that possible precursor viruses for highly pathogenic avian myxoviruses are still brought into Japan by migratory waterfowls.

The two towns, Hingham and Duxbury, are separated by roughly 18 miles. And their respective varsity girls' hockey programs are ranked first and second in nearly every state ranking entering the first of the year.
This recognition reflects their recent achievements, high expectations for the season ahead, and talent-laden rosters.
"All the girls play club hockey on both teams," said John Findley, the junior varsity coach at Hingham since 2007, who previously served as Duxbury's varsity assistant from 2004 to 2006.
"Duxbury is probably one of the oldest girls' programs starting at the youth level, and Hingham the same thing. I just think that more girls in these towns play hockey."
His perspective is rare. The last four seasons, his daughter, Martha , was a star defenseman at Duxbury before moving on this season to Cushing Academy.
"One of the things that I didn't do was go on the bench during the varsity games against Duxbury," he said. "I would go up into the stands and watch because I was rooting for my daughter and for Hingham, too. It was kind of a double-edged sword. I also had to avoid the controversy in the household, because everyone's wearing green and I'm wearing red."
While volume has created depth, each program has also produced collegiate players. Hingham has sent 12 players to the next level; Duxbury has seen eight athletes make the leap.
Despite their individual successes, these rivals remain quite friendly
Competing in different divisions — Hingham captured the 2011 Division 1 state title and Duxbury has claimed the last two Division 2 state championships — is only part of the reason. The greater variable is that when these athletes aren't skating for their high schools, they're playing on the same club teams.
"Duxbury and Hingham have always been rivals," said Hingham senior forward Jane Freda. However, she said, "I know probably 70 percent of the kids [on Duxbury] from my club team. Hannah Murphy, Ally Hammel, Carly Campbell, and Jacqui Nolan are on my team now that will be going to a tournament. Rachel Myette, too, their goalie — I've known them all since I was 8 years old."
It's a friendship that has grounded the rivalry on respect and admiration, along with an understanding that both sides reap benefits.
"When we get to the [state] tournament — since they don't play in the same tournament as we do — we try to get each other better," said Hingham head coach Tom Findley, who is John's twin brother.
"That's really the good thing. Every year we try to build the best schedule we can because we're an independent team, and Duxbury will always be on it because they're one of the best teams in the state."
Over the past three years it has resulted in six such clashes; each side has won three. But with Duxbury sweeping last year's season series, the Harborwomen are eager to reestablish their presence. The deadlock was broken Wednesday night, when the two rivals squared off at the Bog in their only meeting of the regular season.
"They're coming off an undefeated season," said Freda.
The Harborwomen — who were back at practice the day after Christmas engaged in a full assortment of skating, shooting, and passing drills — appear well positioned for another deep postseason run.
But in the matchup against Duxbury, Findley was expecting to get a better definition of his team's weaknesses.
"We've got a nice squad," said Findley, who graduated two seniors and had an underclassman transfer from last year's team.
"We're happy with the younger kids that are starting to play. I think we've got a good mix of seniors and juniors, and the freshmen and sophomores are starting to develop."
Findley cites his team's skating abilities, defense, and goalkeeping as strengths.
Goalie Taylor Walsh "stops what she needs to stop," he said. "I think you form a good team from the backline forward, and that's where we've been pretty good the first four games."
Hingham will rely on the Middlebury College-bound Freda, who has collected a team-leading 14 points, and junior center Catherine Linehan to carry the top line, which rotates senior Caitlin Sullivan and junior Katherine Saleski on the opposite wing.
"We're doing really well this year," said Freda. "We have a lot of offense; a great defense. I mean, we're just really working well as a team."
As for the rivalry with Duxbury, she acknowledges: "At the end of the day we're all still good friends and stuff. But on the ice I can't really say that I'm your best buddy. You're playing for your town and your team."Continued...

Memorial Day Program May 30, 2005 This year's Memorial Day Service is Dedicated to the End of Hostilities - World War II - Sept. 2, 1945 World War II was the most extensive and costly armed conflict in the history of the world, involving the great majority of the world's nations, being fought simultaneously in several major theatres, and costing approximately 55.5 million lives. The war was fought mainly between an alliance of the British Commonwealth, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China�collectively known as the Allies; and the Axis Powers, an alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan. Most of the fighting occurred in the European theatre in and around Europe, and in the Pacific theatre in the Pacific and East Asia. The German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 is the most common date in the West for the start of World War II. Others cite the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 as the war's beginning, or even the 1931 Japanese incursion into Manchuria. The war in Europe ended with the surrender of Germany on May 8, 1945, but continued in Asia and the Pacific until September 2, 1945, when Japan surrendered. To the millions who lost their lives...you will never be forgotten. Elgin Patriotic Memorial Association Officers President � Donald J. Sleeman Vice President � Kimberly S. Toth Secretary/Treasurer � Tricia L. Dieringer

... the Riad didn't lose it's Moroccan themings, just created a more modern atmosphere. We were escorted to level four for pre-dinner drinks and canapes. 4 levels is about the higest building you will find in the old city so as you can imagine the views are breath taking. We settle in for Margaritas and the sunset and absorb the magic of the skyline. As darkness falls we are invited back downstairs to the dining room where 5 courses of AMAZING is served. ...
... a palace that has been turned into a museum. True to Moroccan style it wasn't much but high walls on the outside but once inside the courtyards and details inside the rooms were very impressive. It had a selection of doors, jewellery, pottery, carpet, weapons and woodwork. Later in the afternoon we had a bit of rain (was quite surprising actually!) but it cooled the weather down a bit which I appreciated. When it stopped ...
We hopped into the car (oh sorry, Mustafa) again and headed out for the next stop. We were triple worried about driving into the city of Marrakech. Traffic here is ....

What are your thoughts when Apple is aiming to release the second gen iPad? Do you think they will try to hold off at least a year or introduce it before xmas?
This is a discussion on 2nd Gen iPad within the iPad General Discussions forums, part of the Apple iPad Discussions category; What are your thoughts when Apple is aiming to release the second gen iPad? Do you think they will try to hold off at least ...
I would say they need to wait at least a year, and I would expect the 2nd Gen to have more memory, faster processor and a built in camera.
I have mixed feelings about this.
We know that Apple has been accused of rushing the arrival of the iPad for some obscure reason. That said, all the features that were incomplete for launch time will certainly be released in a new model during this year.
What's the frequency of iPod gens? The iPad should follow the same trend.
Not white, not black just passionate shades of grey...
Yuno Wataï Minh
ID your iPod
Identifying iPod models
So we can reasonably expect at least a year between iPads, although we may see a memory or camera added for a special holiday edition if sales are doing well enough... although we may see external storage drive support (if not already there) and an attachable cam instead...
Add 202 to my user number and call me an Airplane.
--iPad 2 64 GB Black WiFi "Dynabook 2011. With know-how and integrity"
I would say Apple would (will) release the 2nd generation iPad after Christmas. Right around MacWorld in January like they used to release new products.
Apple Computer and Vespa Scooters. That's how I roll.
Well everything improves..so i have high expecations. I would like to see a web cam in this one.

Love Makes the World Go 'Round, a new book musical created from the song catalog of Broadway composer-lyricist Bob Merrill, of Funny Girl, Carnival!, Take Me Along and Sugar fame, gets its world premiere Jan. 23-Feb. 17 at Phoenix Theatre in Arizona. The work, with a script by Duane Poole, puts Merrill's classic pop numbers and show music — from "How Much is that Doggie in the Window" and "Mambo Italiano" to "People" and the title song — in the mouths of a trio of female characters who have gathered at a piano bar in Manhattan's West Forties. There, they "meet and compare lives and loves — one on the verge of marriage, another considering a divorce, and one who's older, single, and needs to reconnect with love's possibilities," according to production notes. Brad Ellis, musical arranger and piano accompanist for television's hit show "Glee," plays the role of Henry, at the piano. Ellis, the show's musical supervisor, wrote new arrangements for Love Makes the World Go 'Round. The cast includes Jeannie Shubitz in the role of Anna, Allison Houston as Natalie and Patti Davis as Irene. Larry Raben (Forever Plaid) directs. The score includes songs Merrill wrote alone and with other composers (Jule Styne wrote music to Merrill's lyrics for Funny Girl and Sugar). Expect to hear "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake," "Honeycomb," "Tina Marie," "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania," "People," "Don't Rain on My Parade" and songs from the musicals Carnival!, New Girl in Town and Take Me Along (among others) and TV and film. Read the 2011 Playbill feature about the first announcement of Love Makes the World Go 'Round, which took developmental steps at the Human Race Theatre Company in Dayton, OH, and in Ithaca, NY. Producer Jayson Raitt has been developing the show for a regional theatre life, and is making it available for licensing. The production team includes Mike Eddy (lighting designer), Robert Kovach (scenic designer), Adriana Diaz (costume designer), Tim Kaufman (hair and makeup designer), Dave Temby (sound designer) and Katie McNamara (props designer). Tickets for Love Makes the World Go 'Round (the title is borrowed from a song in the musical Carnival!) start at $25 and can be purchased at Phoenix Theatre's Box Office by calling (602) 254-2151 or at phoenixtheatre.com.
