2012 Kalinda Carneros Chardonnay (out of stock)
Review Date: 6-29-2013
Typical Chardonnay color in the glass. Lovely buttery, rich nose of tropical & stone fruits. Lots of 50/50 in this wine. Fresh & lively on the palate with tropical & lemon fruits. What is striking is the balance. This is neither overtly fruity nor shows too much oak or malo influence. Plus the acid evident is both refreshing & balances it all out. Although I would not consider myself a Chard lover I really am enjoying this wine. Well done!
Price: $15.99
1996 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc (out of stock)
Review Date: 6-23-2013
Saturated ruby in the glass with no fade at the rim considering the age of this bottle. Dried herbs, red cherry, a hint of cedar & minerals show on the bouquet. A smooth, supple & balanced wine. Tannins are still evident. A good, solid claret that's a steal at $20!
Price: $19.99
2011 Domaine Paul Pernot Bourgogne Chardonnay (out of stock)
Review Date: 6-14-2013
Pale straw in the glass ... Not your typical domestic Chardonnay color! The nose is full of butter, tropical & stone fruits. The oak is well integrated with spice, lemon & curd. Super user friendly Chardonnay that splits the difference between old world & new. Great for any lover of this varietal.
Price: $19.99
1999 York Creek Spring Mountain District Meritage (Some Damaged Labels)
Review Date: 6-1-2013
Comparing this to previous York Creek 2004 that I had tried I love everything about the 1999 immensely more. Sticking my nose in the glass immediately transports me to a cave in Napa rife with well used oak barrels. There are smoky-oak tinged red berries wafting from the glass. The juice is quintessential fruit forward, red fruited New World juice. The time in bottle has all but softened the tannin but there is still enough acid for this to hold shape. Looking forward to gulping this down with BBQ corn on the cob & organic burgers!
Price: $19.99
2002 Louis Lequin Santenay 1er Cru "Le Passe-Temps" (out of stock)
Review Date: 5-26-2013
A gorgeous ruby in the glass. Solid nose of red raspberry, smoky clay soil & spice. Loads of bright red fruit, tons of acid & a spine of tannin to balance it out. Juicy & lip smacking red fruit!
Price: $39.99
2005 Chantegrive, Graves (out of stock)
Review Date: 5-25-2013
Saturated ruby-purple in the glass. Classic Bordeaux nose of French oak, black currants & oak spice. Dark berry fruit & a beautiful acid line the attack on this wine. Gorgeous pairing with Armenian kabobs on the grill.
Price: $19.99
2005 Jean-François Merieau "Alliance des Generations" Touraine Rouge (out of stock)
Review Date: 5-18-2013
Saturated ruby-purple in the glass. Loads of smoke, black currant & loamy soil waft from the nose. Blackberries, leather & spice pop on the attack. This is a super delicious wine that would be well worth revisiting ... It certainly delivers for its modest price point!
Price: $14.99
2008 Caiarossa "Pergolaia" Toscana
Review Date: 5-12-2013
Saturated ruby in the glass. Dark cherry, cocoa & tar on the nose. Love the nose on this ... Quintessential Super Tuscan to me! Dark berries, leather ' spice. Such a delicious wine! Can't wait to pair this with Mario Batali's Weeds & Sausage!
Price: $29.99
2000 Trimbach "Hommage à Jeanne" Pinot Gris (out of stock)
Review Date: 5-12-2013
Gorgeous honey gold color no doubt from the age. Enticing aromas of peach, pear, honeysuckle & spice. Lightly sweet like a VT. Still maintains a spine of acidity to balance it out & the spice note I associate with Pinot Gris.
Price: Hidden
2012 Domaine Begude Pinot Noir Vin de Pays d'Oc Rosé (out of stock)
Review Date: 5-12-2013
Loads of strawberries & a light touch of spice. Pretty much the perfect aperitif by the pool on a warm summer day!
Price: $12.99
1997 Haut-Bergey, Pessac-Léognan
Review Date: 4-27-2013
A nice saturated ruby in the glass. Loads of cassis, herbs, minerals & smokey oak on the nose. Lovely currant fruit with light tannin & a streak of acidity. Absolutely paired perfectly with some BBQ steak this evening. Wouldn't hesitate to go back for more.
Price: $24.99
2007 Hughes Family Sonoma Mountain 'Wild Turkey Vineyard' Zinfandel (out of stock)
Review Date: 4-7-2013
Saturated ruby-purple ine the glass. Foresty notes of black currants, plums, herbs & pepper waft from the nose. Loads of juicy red cherry, currant & spice on the attack. A spicy & mineral laden Zinfandel here which is quite delicious.
Price: $24.99
2011 Michel Delhommeau "Harmonie" Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie (out of stock)
Review Date: 4-7-2013
Palest raw in the glass. Floral, honeydew melon on the nose. Not terribly rich, nor complex yet quite satisfying on a warm spring day. Much of the same honeyed fruit from the nose is echoed then balanced by a mineral streak with a gentle spice to close it out.
Price: $12.99
1996 Joel Taluau St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Vieilles Vignes (out of stock)
Review Date: 3-30-2013
Saturated ruby purple in the glass. Loads of high tone red fruit, herbs, currants & well matured wood waft from the nose. Although taking on some of that brassy-antique flavor that older wines get there is still plenty of youth in this bottle. The fruit is lip-smacking & ripe which begs you for another pull. The tannins have melted but are well integrated & enough acid remains to provide balance. I'm not sure I would hold onto this for much longer but I will certainly enjoy the rest of this tonight!
Price: $24.99
2005 Clarendon Hills "Kangarilla" Grenache McLaren Vale South Australia (out of stock)
Review Date: 3-16-2013
A well saturated ruby in the glass. Tons of blueberries, raspberries, earth & herbs waft from the 2nd pour. This is not the overt, fruit Bomb I feared it might be. In fact, there are chewy, tart red fruits with well packed, yet resolved tannin & plenty of acidity left to pair well with dinner as well as allow for life in the cellar. Quite a delicious "ancient vine" Grenache! Can't wait to tuck into the rest of this bottle with some homemade chicken kabob with herb & basil couscous.

Increase in police precept is approved
11:00am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
A plan to increase the police precept for West Yorkshire council taxpayers to protect frontline policing in the county has been approved.
The proposal, by West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson, to up the police tax by fractionally less than two per cent, was supported by the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel.
Mr Burns-Williamson told members the increase would help pay for the recruitment of 126 police officers and 70 essential police staff in the next year – though Government budget cuts will still mean an overall reduction of nearly 100 officers.

Contemporary art
This is an excellent question, and one that isn`t asked often enough. Presumably, talking about contemporary art is another one of those art definitions we are all supposed to know -- because (heaven forbid) you wouldn`t want to ask a "stupid" question at some art world function. (Well, you might, but I wouldn`t. At least, not ever again.)
Anyway, the answer is divinely simple. Contemporary just means "art that has been and continues to be created during our lifetimes." In other words, contemporary to us.
Now, of course, if you are 96-years old and reading this (By the way, congratulations, if this describes you!), you can expect a certain amount of overlapping between "Contemporary" and "Modern" art in your lifetime.

Allow me to second MrFotoFool's position.I disagree with a couple of points.
From what you've written, I would recommend you stay away from RAW until you've really nailed composition, exposure, and white balance.
First, learning to develop RAW images and learning composition, exposure, etc. are not mutually exclusive. The OP can do both, in parallel.
Second, it is less time consuming from a PP perspective to shoot jpg and print or post on the web but its not that much more time consuming to bring RAW into DPP or into Lightroom with presets. On the other hand, your ability to do PP if you want to is much more limited with jpg. In particular, you can't expose to the right with jpg and bring it back, like you can with RAW.
To the OP:
Yes, I only shoot RAW. IMO, RAW and jpg is truly a waste of space and I very rarely need to send a jpg off so quickly that I can't run it through DPP or LR.
And yes, I generally use the same settings, again, assuming my exposure is good. About the only thing I do in DPP, if my exposure is good, is adjust the sharpness. On the other hand, if I'm shooting against a snowy background and end up underexposed or conversely shooting a dark subject (like a moose) and end up overexposed, its nice to have the ability to adjust each photo individually.
Like others have mentioned, check out the tutorials for whatever PP software you're using.
Hope that helps...

MT. VERNON — A traveling basketball team will make another appearance in Jefferson County next week.
The Harlem Wizards return to Summersville Grade School in Mt. Vernon on Saturday, Oct. 12. The game starts at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
"It's just kind of like the Harlem Globetrotters," Heather Swan of the Summersville Parent Teacher Organization said. "It's a fun family event basically for any age. I have 62-year old parents that throughly enjoyed it. They pulled out a 4-year old on the floor last year who was an absolute blast."
This is the second straight year for the Harlem Wizards to appear at the school, and Swan said the group created excitement with its performance a year ago.
"It's a great fundraiser event, but the kids talked about it for months on end," Swan said. "I've had so many people that didn't get to go last year that were saying, 'I heard how much fun it was. I want to go this year.'"
The game lasts about two hours and players will remain after the action to sign autographs and pose for pictures with members of the crowd.
Swan found out about the Harlem Wizards through a PTO convention held in St. Charles, Mo., during the spring of 2012.
"That's kind of how we started with it last year," Swan said.
A promotional event of the evening will be held at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Summersville. Several athletes will be at the school to offer a sneak peak of what the audiences can expect on Oct. 12.
Individuals interested in purchasing tickets to the game on Oct. 12 can contact Swan at 231-5139. The school is also selling tickets for the event.

Yes, smoked is correct. This is a second conditional construction. Another word order would be "If you smoked, I would not mind".
Good job. I don't know why they gave that other construction.

Kaz Hirai says the PS4 is 'first and foremost' a game console, more features to be revealed
Sony and Microsoft launched their next-gen consoles in very different ways: the Xbox One was pitched as a complete living room device, while the PS4 event was a nonstop series of game demos. That's important, Kaz Hirai told reporters at the D11 conference today. "The most important thing we need to do is agree and understand that the PS4 is a great video game console that appeals to video gamers," he said. "If we miss that part, I don't think we get the initial establishment of the console. That formula has worked for us with all our consoles, including the PS3."
"The PS4 is a great video game console that appeals to video gamers."
Hirai did say that Sony would reveal more non-game PS4 functionality, though. "Providing other non-game content is an area we will reveal and talk about in the coming months, but it's first and foremost a video game console." We'll see what Sony has in store at E3 — there's a good chance it will reverse roles with rival Microsoft and focus on entertainment while the Xbox event focuses on games.

Amazon in fresh corporation tax row
4:33pm Friday 9th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The UK arm of internet shopping giant Amazon paid corporation tax of less than £10 million last year despite generating sales of £4.3 billion.
Details of the American firm's tax contribution, which were revealed in filings at Companies House, sparked fresh controversy over its arrangements.
Consumers buy from the company's UK website and the items are delivered from British warehouses but these transactions are mostly with a company called Amazon EU Sarl in Luxembourg.
This allows the company to legitimately lower its tax bill. It is taxed at the lower rate in Luxembourg and then pays less corporation tax where the rate is higher in the UK.
Amazon says it follows the tax rules in all countries where it operates but Margaret Hodge, who chairs the Commons Public Accounts Committee, renewed her attack on the company, saying it should pay its fair share of tax.
She told the Guardian: "They are damaging British jobs. If you are a small bookshop in the high street you can never compete with their prices, because you pay taxes. Even for John Lewis their future is also threatened because they pay their taxes."
Ms Hodge said consumers should follow the case of Starbucks last year, when direct action persuaded the coffee chain to resume UK tax payments last year.
The results filing for Amazon.co.uk shows that its corporation tax bill almost doubled to £9.7 million from £5.1 million a year earlier.
This reflected a sharp rise in p re-tax profits to £17.1 million as the UK business generated more money from the provision of fulfilment and corporate support services to other Amazon group undertakings.
Revenues were 40% higher at £449 million. Results from the US company at the end of January showed Amazon generated revenues from UK trading of 7.3 billion US dollars (£4.3 billion) last year.
The company said in a statement: " Amazon pays all applicable taxes in every jurisdiction that it operates within.
"Amazon EU serves tens of millions of customers and sellers throughout Europe from multiple consumer websites in a number of languages, dispatching products to all 28 countries in the EU.
"We have a single European headquarters in Luxembourg with hundreds of employees to manage this complex operation."

Laugh-a-lot at Spamalot (From The Bolton News)
Laugh-a-lot at Spamalot
10:30am Friday 11th May 2012 in Theatre
MONTY Python's Spamalot will return to Manchester's Opera House this month, following the huge success of the first national tour in 2010.
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a kind-of new musical with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score, (well, almost) created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez.
Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings (cancelled due to health and safety) not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.
The show has already won a Tony Award, and has been seen by more than 300,000 people. Marcus Brigstocke and Todd Carty will return as Arthur, King of the Britons, and Patsy, and will be joined by Bonnie Tyler as the Lady of the Lake.
Tickets cost £12 to £35, and can be booked via atgtickets.com/manchester or by ringing 0844 871 3018.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – After trailing by as many as 10 points in the first half, the FGCU women's basketball team outscored Stetson University 44-21 in the second half to defeat the Hatters 72-56 Saturday night at Alico Arena. With the win, the Eagles improve to 7-6 on the season and begin Atlantic Sun play with a record of 1-0. The Hatters start A-Sun play with a mark of 0-1 for the first time since 2010 and fall to 8-5 on the year.
Stetson took control of the game with a quick 4-0 lead to begin the contest and extended its advantage to 10 points just eight minutes into the first half. The Hatters maintained the momentum through the half and went into the break with a 35-28 lead. After seeing Stetson extend the lead to nine points to start the second half, the Eagles constructed a 14-0 run to claim the lead. The Green and Blue held onto the lead and extended it to a game-high 17 points en route to its first A-Sun victory of the year.
The win in the conference opener marked the sixth-consecutive year the Eagles open the season with a 1-0 record. FGCU now holds a record of 55-1 in all-time Atlantic Sun games at Alico Arena.
"This is a great way for us to start the conference season," said head coach Karl Smesko. "We know Stetson is one of the top contenders in the league. They definitely outplayed us in the first half, but I was glad to see we were able to make a run early in the half and keep up the pace and intensity throughout the second half."
Individually, the Eagles saw seven season highs on the night. Sophomore Whitney Knight (Winston-Salem, N.C./R.J. Reynolds High School) led all scorers with 20 points, while senior Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane High School) added 18 points and a season-high 14 rebounds for her second double-double of the year. Sophomore Kaneisha Atwater (Fort Pierce, Fla./Fort Pierce Westwood High School/VCU) produced a season-high 15 points and pulled down a career-best nine rebounds, while also recording a season-high four steals. DyTiesha Dunson (Albany, Ga./Westover High School) came off the bench for two season-highs with eight points and five assists.
Collectively, the Eagles narrowly outshot the Hatters, 36.8 percent to 35.6 percent but were edged on the glass, 41-36. FGCU made 11 3-point attempts, while holding Stetson to just two and maintained a season-high shooting percentage from the free-throw line at 86.4 percent. The Eagles' edge was aided in part by 24 points on 21 Stetson turnovers and a season-best 18 second-chance points.
Two quick layups put the Hatters ahead 4-0 in the first minute of action before Knight cut the lead with a 3-pointer. A steal and a fast-break layup from Atwater gave the Eagles their first lead of the game but it was short lived.
The Hatters produced a nine-point run and held the Eagles scoreless for a period to six minutes to take a 15-5 lead near the 12-minute mark. The Green and Blue responded with a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to just three points with eight minutes remaining in the half but could not reclaim the lead.
Stetson again increased its advantage to double-digits in the final minutes of the half, before allowing an Atwater 3-pointer and a Dunson jumper in the final seconds to bring the score to 35-28 at the break.
The Eagles shot 35.5 percent in the first 20 minutes of action but allowed the visiting team to convert 51.9 percent of shots. The Hatters also used a 22-13 advantage on the backboard to hold control at halftime.
After seeing an early second-half Hatter layup, the Eagles combined baskets from Hansen, Knight and Jaime Gluesing (Solon, Ohio/Solon High School) to produce a 14-point run to cut the Hatter lead and take over the momentum of the game. A successful shot by Knight from long range sealed the run to give FGCU a 42-37 lead with 14 minutes to play.
The Hatters responded with a series of buckets but saw as the Eagles used strong 3-point shooting from Knight and Atwater to hold control of the game. The pair each produced four 3-point baskets on the night.
The Eagles extended their advantage to double-digits midway through the half and never relinquished the lead. The Hatters got as close as eight points near the four-minute mark before the Green and Blue produced another run. The home team sealed the victory by outscoring Stetson 14-5 in the final three minutes and ultimately earned a 72-56 win.
The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for the Eagles, while handing the Hatters their first loss since Dec. 8. The Eagles now hold a 12-3 advantage in the all-time series with their in-state rival and improve to 4-0 against fellow Sunshine State teams this season.
The Eagles will continue Atlantic Sun action on Thursday, Jan. 9 when they host East Tennessee State University at Alico Arena. Tipoff against the Bucs is scheduled for 7 p.m.

A new report card on the condition of infrastructure in the United States gives Illinois and the country as a whole a dismal D+.
According to the report issued Tuesday by the American Society of Civil Engineers, about 73 percent of Illinois roads are in poor or mediocre condition.
The report says those bad roads cost Illinois drivers $2.4 billion a year in extra repairs and operating costs.
More than 2,300 of the 2,600 bridges in the state are considered structurally deficient.

ESPN lacrosse analyst Quint Kessenich talks with Denver's Bill Tierney, Hartford's Peter Lawrence, Bucknell's Frank Fedorjaka and Duke's Chris Gabrielli.
Be sure to check out Quint's conversation with Bill Tierney, in which the Denver coach provided his thoughts on the recent resignations of Towson coach Tony Seaman and Navy coach Richie Meade.
"Well it's clear there's no rational balance in athletic administrators," Tierney said. "There's such a misconception of what this game produces. You have people out one side of their mouth talking about integrity, doing what's right for student athletes and making sure that we're teaching lessons to these young men. And then one coach loses his job after losing eight one-goal games, things just don't go his way, but he's got kids who just love him to death. There's not a coach out there who could ever get his players, family alumni to love him more than Tony Seaman. Then you talk about Richie Meade — the coach of the U.S. Naval Academy who loves, breathes it — had a young man get killed in action this year. This guy is all about everything I would think the U.S. Naval Academy is about.
And my take on all this is that I just hope if and when, probably more when when, these administrators who've fallen prey to some mouthy alums or some people who want to stay anonymous on chat rooms who don't have the nerve to say who they are, costing these two guys their job in the sport they've given everything to? It's a disgrace, a total disgrace."

The Northshore Performing Arts Center in Bothell, WA, recently opened to much acclaim with actor Ben Vereen performing a tribute to Sammy Davis, Jr. The center is the result of a unique partnership between the Northshore School District, the Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation, and the City of Bothell.
"It's kind of like a little piece of New York," says Ed Parker, executive director of the foundation that raised funds for the center and is now the resident presenting organization. "It's a reward for our community."
When the Northshore School District put up a bond for construction that included a new auditorium, Neil Larson, president of the foundation, saw an opportunity to build the kind of performing arts center that he and his colleagues had been working toward for several years. A voter-approved bond earmarking $6.3 million for the theatre — plus fundraising for the remaining $2.5 million by the Foundation — helped to seal the deal.
Located on the Bothell High School campus, the 25,000sq.ft center has two performance spaces, a 607-seat proscenium theatre and a black box theatre that doubles as a drama classroom. The center is a stark contrast to the school's previous arts venues: a 200-seat theatre and the school gymnasium, where Larson remembers parents crowding outside to hear their children perform at band concerts. At the new center, everyone has a seat, and students now share the stage with artists like Grammy Award-winning George Winston, the Dublin City Dancers, or the cast of Ain't Misbehavin'.
A recording studio and green room afford a real-world theatre experience for students, while the full fly tower and catwalk lighting systems help them learn the technical aspects of show production. School officials hope that this first-class facility will help stimulate the education process.
With visual and performance art that ranges from drama and dance to lectures and music of all genres, a challenge going into the project was providing optimal sound for all of these scenarios. In designing a multipurpose facility, the range of space that works for both speech and music is very narrow. Achieving this delicate balance, while also trying to minimize the noise and vibration from mechanical systems, is a little like walking a tightrope.
Speak Easy
A main goal on this project was to provide excellent speech intelligibility for lectures and drama performances. A monaural theatre sound reinforcement system with a single loudspeaker cluster is suspended above the center of the stage opening. There is infrastructure to support installation of stereo speaker systems with subwoofers in the future.
The center speaker cluster utilizes active speakers (Renkus-Heinz PN12/6-2(T)) with signal processors and power amplifiers that are installed within the speaker cabinets. The processors optimize each speaker's performance in addition to providing protection against excessive sound levels and overheating.
The sound reinforcement system can operate on automatic mode for speech-only events for which a technician can plug in up to four microphones. The system optimizes microphone gain to prevent acoustical feedback. The sound system can be powered and automatic mode activated from a small control station located backstage.
The system also has a manual mode, employing a 32-channel mixing board (Mackie SR32-4 VLZ PRO) for more sophisticated performances. A transportable sound playback and electronic effects equipment rack accompanies the manual audio mixer. Both can be relocated from the control booth to an alternate location in the audience when needed. This is useful for rehearsals and allows more accurate sound mixing during actual performances with an audience.
Microphone and auxiliary (line) input jacks are distributed around the stage to allow easy connection of microphones and other audio signal sources.
Portable monitor speakers can be connected at many locations on and about the stage. Additional speaker connection points exist at the back of the house as well as at the overhead lighting catwalks above the audience to broadcast special performance sound effects.
A wired production intercommunications system links behind-the-scenes production personnel and others to distribute program production cues and other relevant information. The backstage area paging system employs ceiling-mounted loudspeakers and local volume controls to distribute sound within the green room, dressing rooms, the control booth, and other places. This system distributes voice pages originating from the production intercom system as well as performance sounds originating at the stage.
A dedicated paging system serves the lobby and public restrooms. It permits show patrons to be addressed directly from the sound control booth by voice for crowd notification and control. An electronic audience recall chime sound may also be broadcast to alert patrons that a show's intermission period is concluding. Performance sounds from the stage may also be distributed over this system.
A fixed central equipment cabinet, which contains system power amplifiers, processors, wireless microphones, hearing assist system transmitter, and other devices resides in the control booth that overlooks the stage.
Scattering Sound
Since a theatre's design can either add or diminish value from the performance of music — particularly classical music for band and orchestra — shaping, surface texture and finishes, and total volume all come into play. These affect both reflected sound — the direction and strength of the reflections — and reverberant sound.
The faster tempo of modern music such as jazz or a stage band does not require as great a room response as classical music. Classical music sounds best in a space where the sound persists for a longer time and surrounds the listener, creating a sense of envelopment. To achieve this sense of intimacy and clarity, it's critical to balance early energy from the sound that arrives at the listener's ears directly from the stage with late energy that primarily consists of the reverberant sound.
Early energy is created by a combination of direct sound from the stage plus reflections from the proscenium cheek walls and eyebrow reflector. The cheek walls and eyebrow reflector were shaped to produce a strong reflection to the entire audience area to create the needed early energy. The rearmost overhead reflector (where the sound is typically the weakest) also adds to the early energy, since the time delays of the sound from this reflector are very short. The result is a strong connection between stage and audience and clear music definition. As an added benefit, shaping the cheek walls in this manner helps reflect useful energy to the audience when an actor or musician is turned away from it.
Late energy, in the form of reverberation and corresponding envelopment, were increased in the design by raising the roof of the theatre to create more volume. Overhead reflectors in the middle portion of the house were decreased in size to expose the volume of the roof to the audience. These reflectors have a short radius to scatter sound that would otherwise reach the roof. The combination of the increased room volume and scattered reflections improves the strength of the reverberant field.
Audiences give higher marks to musical venues that have strong lateral energy. Lateral energy is created by sound that reflects to the audience from the side walls of the theatre. The shaping of the cheek walls that improves the early energy also creates the needed lateral reflections. To maximize the perception of the lateral reflections, the methods used to create sufficient late energy were also used to weaken the effect of the overhead reflections. Scattering some of the overhead sound creates multiple, weak reflections that shower the entire audience and create a more complex acoustic environment. The weaker, more complex overhead reflections allow the subtle lateral reflections to emerge.
A retractable curtain on the rear wall of the theatre was added to reduce the room response for speech and fast tempo music. This curtain can cover the back wall or be retracted above the rear reflector. The goal was to prevent late sounds from returning to the stage, thus reducing the reverberation time in the theatre.
Noise Reduction
At the school district's suggestion, the project team incorporated eco-charettes to explore sustainable design approaches for the center. These charettes led to the decision to install an under-floor air delivery system, in which air enters the theatre through grilles in the face of each seating riser.
An under-floor air delivery system produces air that is slightly cooler than the desired room temperature and significantly warmer than air that is delivered in a more traditional overhead duct system. It is virtually impossible to feel a cold draft due to the moderate temperature of the air conditioning. More air is needed to produce the same amount of cooling. To make sure the air movement is not perceptible, the velocity of the air out of the grilles is very low. Not only does this system increase audience comfort and reduce operational energy expenses, the low velocity of the air delivery reduces sound levels.
The acoustical design goal for the heating and ventilating system was to achieve a level of background noise that is unobtrusive in quality (frequency content) and low enough in level (amplitude) that it doesn't interfere with what's going on in the theatre. A plenum below the seating allows the air to be delivered at a very low velocity, which reduces noise and permits the subtle nuances of a performance to be heard clearly.
Community Connection
The delivery of this space has fueled collaboration between the school district and the members of the Bothell community, some of whom were weary of driving to nearby Seattle to enjoy the arts and others who needed local performance space.
"There was a huge demand for a real theatre that was not a gymnasium," says Nikki Neuen, director of communications and marketing for the Northshore Performing Arts Foundation. "Local residents were hungry for a space to practice art. We are thrilled to have a space which serves the diverse interests of our community."

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Outstanding condo
Review submitted: August 2, 2014 Date of arrival: July 1, 2014
Just returned to Arizona from Candyce and Art's condo. We are sad and not only because of the heat. The condo was great. It was spotless and supplied with all the essentials. Nothing was missing for our needs. Candyce welcomed us personally and gave us a tour of the property. The condo was an integral part of making our month at the central coast special. The weather was perfect. It was delightful to be able to sleep with the windows open. We traveled throughout the central coast, from Santa Barbara to Cambria. The condo felt like home.

Great for a get away golf weekend with friends!
Review submitted: November 12, 2013 Date of arrival: November 7, 2013
We had a lovely time on the central coast. The Condo was very nicely appointed and very clean and well stocked. The heated pool and jaccusi were wonderful too. We played two rounds of golf and enjoyed dinner down in Avila Beach at the Old Port Inn on the pier. We also enjoyed wine tasting and shopping at the outlet mall in Arroyo Grande and the little shops in old down town. It was a lovely few days with some goergeous sunsets over the ocean at the end of each day. I would highly recommend this condo in Nipomo. Lots to see and do. Don't forget to see the monarch butterflies at the sycamore preserve in Grover Beach. They were fascinating too. Beautiful area and great place to stay especially if you enjoy golf.

Black Lake Condo Rental
Review submitted: May 23, 2013 Date of arrival: February 1, 2013
My wife and I have been coming to Blacklake for the past 9 years. For the first 8 years we rented the same condo, but due to the sale of the unit,
we were able to secure a unit from Candyce and Art.
Knew Candyce and Art during our time in Blacklake and are both great ambassadors for the resort.
The unit is basically a home away from home, fully equipped, clean, updated flooring, bathrooms and comfortable furnishings.
Candyce and Art were responsive to any issues.
We have booked and extended our stay for 2014 for 2 2/1 months and looking forward to returning and renewing many acquaintances
we have met over the years.

Wonderful Stay in Nipomo
Review submitted: February 6, 2013 Date of arrival: January 2, 2013
We stay in the condo for the month of January. This was the second time we stayed in their condo. The condo was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The neighbors are also friendly. They equipped condo with nice and high quality kitchen utensils and all kind of gadgets. They kept them so clean that we are almost afraid to use them. My wife enjoy cooking local fresh vegetables and using a very nice barbecue.The owner responds immediately if we have any question. The area guides and information the owner personally wrote are very useful. Thank you again for a perfect vacation with variety of outdoor activities.

Blacklake Golf Vacation, perfect in every way.
Review submitted: September 12, 2012 Date of arrival: September 2, 2012
We had a lovely stay, the only complaint--it was too short In 2011. by accident, and this year with intent, we made a concerted effort to become familiar with all the interesting developments and attractions in the area. The more we see and learn, the more we like. Great golf in the neighborhood, and your hospitality was exceptional. I believe I mentioned we spend 3 or 4 months in rentals from July-Oct to escape the heat in the desert, so we're quite experienced with rentals. Yours is exceptionally well thought out, tastefully and nicely decorated and accoutered, plus absolutely every little or big thing works from the vegetable peeler to the TV and internet. Everything is immaculate. I can tell you are meticulous and detail aware. For golfers:Blacklake Golf Resort has 3 nines,plus Monarch Dues Golf is less than 3 miles away with a beautiful restaurant Adelina's, excellent food, plus there are at least 3 or4 other Golf courses within a 10 mile radius.

Candyce was an excellent hostess providing us with a personalized tour of the condo., a description of the facilities available on the site and printed info. on local restaurants, wineries and entertainment. Later, she returned to set up our internet access and phoned occasionally to see if we needed anything.Thank you, Candyce.
The condo.was fully equipped, well furnished, very clean and most comfortable. It really was a home from home.
The patio was a peaceful retreat. We really enjoyed feeding and watching the antics of the local birds, (bird feeders and seed were provided! ).
There are lots of golf courses and wineries nearby, and several larger shopping communities for shopaholics. The ocean and beaches were relatively close to the site so we spent several lazy afternoons strolling the beaches and there was always a nice little place to have a drink or meal when the desire arose.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to experience a refreshing and/or active holiday in a beautiful area..
Owners response:
Maureen and John-

Home away from home!
Review submitted: January 8, 2012 Date of arrival: December 27, 2011
We chose this condo for its convenient location on the central coast. When we checked in, we were delighted with the condo. It's bright, comfortably furnished and very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and the pantry is stocked with all kinds of spices for a good meal.
It was a pleasant surprise when we saw the welcome basket full of snacks when we arrived. The next day, the owner, Candyce, called to see if we needed anything else. We appreciated this level of attention from the owner.
We also love the back yard which has a mature oak tree. It provides such a relaxing and peaceful setting.
Although it was a short stay, we enjoyed the condo and felt it was truly a home away from home. Thank you Candyce and Art for sharing your beautiful home.
We'll be back at the condo on our next trip to the central coast.

An excellent condo for visitors and golfers in the Nipomo area. Immaculately clean, and uncluttered. The condo is really well-provided with all the necessities, especially the kitchen which has absolutely everything one could want, impeccably arranged and easy to find. Well organised information for all electronics, amenities, services, and local restaurants, attractions, etc.

You Don't Need to be Golfers to Stay Here!
Review submitted: October 27, 2011 Date of arrival: October 12, 2011
Our family members were able to stay in two different condos within walking distance of each other -- both owned by the same people.
Both condos were very nice, comfortable and stocked with many amenities needed for a enjoyable stay. Location was centralized enough to visit sites like Hearst Castle, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Solvang, and especially the wine trails.
We highly recommend these condos and will stay again if our travels take us to that location.

Visitors from England!
Review submitted: August 29, 2011 Date of arrival: August 7, 2011
Thank you for renting your vacation home to us. We very much enjoyed our time here. We met your neighbors who gave us even more tips on where to go and what to do around here. They even kindly took the cans in off the curb for us when the trash had been collected - you have great neighbors!
Weather was nice and it was such a plus to have a heated pool and spa, which never got really noisy but had a few families to chat to and for the kids to play. We considered staying longer but we have a flight to catch! But we will recommend your place to our friends and hopefully come back and finish all the things we haven't seen, or just do everything all over. Many thanks again -

My husband and I had the pleasure of surprising my 80 year old parents with a special "Golf Get-a-way" for the 4 of us. Our condo in the Black Lake resort was perfect. With 3 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms we all had the privacy we wanted and the condo felt like being at home. Everything we needed was at our fingertips or not more than 10 minutes away. Fantastic food and golf choices were within 15 minutes of our location. This property is so CLEAN and QUITE we felt like we were in our own private forest. I look forward to returning here again and again. The price is more than fail.

The Northern atolls of
Manihiki and Rakahanga are separated by 42 kilometres of sea,
with Rakahanga lying a few points west of due north from Manihiki.
Although they are sister atolls in close proximity to one another,
there are significant geographical differences between the two
Manihiki is larger and roughly triangular in shape, Rakahanga
is neatly rectangular. Manihiki has the larger population, but
Rakahanga has more fertile soil, producing puraka - a coarse
dry species of taro - breadfruit, pawpaw and bananas.
Lustrous black
Manihiki, in contrast,
produces copra, but little in the way of food crops. Today,
the pearl farming industry occupies almost every working age
person on the atoll.
The lagoon is dotted with seeding houses precariously perched
on coral heads, providing the platform for the diving, cleaning
and harvesting of pearl oysters.
Lustrous black pearls, produced in the deep lagoon waters of
Manihiki find their way as finished jewellery, into the fashion
houses of the world.
Activities and Accommodation
Located 1.200 kilometers northwest of Rarotonga Manihiki is a very remote and rarely visited place which adds to its appeal to those who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern civilisation. Despite its isolation there are quality accommodation options on Manihiki and visitors are greated enthusiastically.
Visitors to Manihiki will enjoy swimming in the warm and crystal water of its Lagoon,. Further activities inlcude visits to Black Pearl Farms both above and below the surface, snorkelling, diving, Lagoon and Deep Sea Fishing, visits to nearby Rakahanga and being part of a close knit community hundreds of miles from the next outpost of civilisation.

Cam Newton makes his share of mistakes, but the rookie continues to show that he's perfectly capable of overcoming them. The Carolina Panthers quarterback just threw his second touchdown of the day, a 40-yard strike to tight end Greg Olsen.
Newton also has 119 yards passing and the game is still quite early in the second quarter. On the pass to Olsen, Newton was able to convince the defense that he was looking to Steve Smith on the other side, and then find his tight end behind the coverage. His pass hit Olsen perfectly in stride.
Just to put a perfect little cherry on top of the play, Newton got the ball from Olsen and then gave it to a young fan in the stands. Seriously, is this guy too good to be true?

WINDSOR -- Altamont softball coach John Niebrugge said his team was looking to make a statement.
Playing at Windsor due to poor field conditions, the Lady Indians were playing their semifinal game against Stew-Stras right in front of the Lady Blue Devils, who had already advanced to the National Trail Conference tournament final.His team, and perhaps the Blue Devils, got the message.
Lauren Ohnesorge was a home run short of the cycle, finishing with four hits on the afternoon, as the Lady Indians built a 9-0 lead through two innings en route to a commanding 14-4 win."We came out swinging," Niebrugge said. "We're at Windsor, we knew we may have to play Windsor, we wanted to show them what we are capable of."Altamont finished with 13 hits off Stew-Stras' Kendall Knop, four coming in the first inning as the Lady Indians jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Maddie Ohnesorge opened the game with a single to short center, Josie Phillips was walked, and Deidre Ledbetter hit a sacrifice shot to advance the runners.With second and third occupied, Lauren Ohnesorge lined a two-RBI double to left center."Lauren Ohnesorge hit the ball all over the place," Niebrugge said. "She was driving it, that's what we've got to have out of our four-spot."Lauren Ohnesorge reached home two batters later on an RBI single from Gabby Alwardt, and Lauren White closed the first-inning scoring by crossing home on a wild pitch."This was the best team we've played all spring," Stew-Stras coach Kyle Knop said. "One through nine, they've got girls, their nine-spot had a few hits too."Jolene Northrup, batting ninth for the Indians, started the second inning with an infield single and stolen base. Maddie Ohnesorge singled and tried to do the same, but was caught in a pickle between first and second. Stew-Stras managed to throw her out at first, but Northrup was ignored as she coasted home for an Altamont run. Lebetter doubled two batters later, and Lauren Ohnesorge again came up huge at the plate with an RBI triple to the center-field wall. The Lady Indians plated five total runs in the second, the final coming off a double from Alex Teasley to right center that brought Alwardt home, and Altamont led 9-0. "I felt like, our team felt like, that's the best team we are going to see this spring," Coach Knop said. An RBI double from Lauren Ohnesorge in the third ended a two-run frame, and the Lady Indians were ahead 11-0. But Stew-Stras was not to be held down any longer. With two outs in the fifth and the game nearly over for the run rule, the Lady Comets strung together four-straight hits to plate four runs and extend the game. The final three came on a bases-loaded double from Kelsie Walden."Altamont certainly came out and beat us," Knop said. "But if you give up that's on you. I told the girls, 'I'm challenging you, you can roll over or you can keep playing. We threw together a nice offensive inning.'"The 11-4 deficit was short-lived, however, as Altamont tacked on three more in the bottom of inning five to put the game on ice. The Lady Indians were championship bound."It would have been a little better if we kept it cleaner," Niebrugge said. "We need to mix up our changeup a little bit more, they were kind of timing it up a little bit."Ledbetter got the win for Altamont on the mound, pitching all five innings with four runs on seven hits. Ledbetter finished with eight strikeouts on the day, as Altamont returns to action today against Windsor with an NTC tournament crown on the line at Beecher City."That's one our goals we set at the beginning of the year," Niebrugge said.Kendall Knop suffered the loss, pitching four innings with fourteen runs on thirteen hits and one strikeout. The Lady Comets are back at it today in the third-place game at St. Anthony.

When I came across the flourless peanut butter cookie recipe for the first time, I thought it was a great idea, and then I realized that the recipe called for a cup of peanut butter and a cup of sugar! Needless to say, I decided there was no point making them.
I didn't grow up eating peanut butter and find the taste a little on the heavy side; almond butter on the other hand has a delicate flavour and a mildly sweet taste. I like to use as little sugar as possible and increase the sweetness with currants. The addition of the orange zest perfumes the cookie dough very nicely. The resulting cookies are delightfully tender and melt in your mouth.
To make a batch of these cookies, all you need is a bowl and a spatula, make sure to have all the ingredients at room temperature.
- 1 cup almond butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg, at room temperature, lightly beaten
- 3-4 tbsp Sucanat or brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Orange zest (optional)
- ½ cup currants
Preheat the oven to 350F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Mix the almond butter, egg and Sucanat using a spatula, add the baking soda and orange zest, if using until thoroughly combined, add the currants and mix again.
Using a two spoons or a small cookie scoop, place the cookie dough on the baking sheet, bake in a preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie. The cookies will be very soft as soon as they come out of the, let them cool on the cookie sheet and store in an airtight container.

Cold and ice have caused dozens of people to land in the ER.
From frostbite to injury falls, it's been a busy season for weather-related accidents.
The extreme conditions outside have caused a flurry of patients to end up inside the doctor's office.
"We've seen a lot of falls with the icy weather lately." says Krissondra Klop, Family Medicine Physician with Sanford South Clinic.
The most common winter weather-related injury by far is from falling on the ice.
The number of spills reported at St. Alexius and Sanford's emergency rooms is significant.
"Seriousness of the falls goes from a minor sprain of a joint, so an ankle sprain or a knee sprain, hand if you fall on an outstretched hand, to a fracture..." says Klop.
"Broke it on the very top part near the shoulder." says Laura Jassek, Fractured arm during fall.
Laura Jassek was getting out her vehicle in her own driveway when she took a hard fall to the ground.
"I just swan-dived right into the ground and just realized I couldn't move my left arm very well and we went to the emergency room and they said yep, you broke it." says Jassek.
She says there's nothing funny about breaking your humerus bone.
She's had to sleep in a recliner for the past five weeks and missed a few days of work, but as hospital numbers show, she is not alone.
"It isn't people doing, making bad choices, they just start doing regular activity and forget how extreme the weather is..." says Klop.
Wearing cleats on your shoes is one suggestion.
Avoiding walking outside at night is another, it's harder to see icy spots then.
As for Laura, she has a checkup with the doctor Thursday and she's learned to really take her time as she continues to heal.
"I just park in a flat space and just be careful when I'm walking, if you want to pass me you pass me go ahead, I'm taking those baby steps until I get to the door." says Jassek.
A handful of mild and severe frostbite cases have also been reported at both hospitals in Bismarck.

CATEGORIES Trailers and Clips, MoviesHollywood is deserted. What with the Toronto, Venice and Telluride film festivals, and Labor Day coming up, the news coming out of Tinseltown is how little news there really is in Hollywood (if you don't believe us, take a look at some of the trades: lately they're filling their online news wells with feature stories). The highlights of Wednesday night: a couple casting stories, including Amy Adams headlining 'The Orphanage' remake; a name and financing for the next Coen Brothers film; and a domestic trailer for David Cronenberg's 'A Dangerous Method.'
The English-language remake of Juan Antonio Bayona's 'The Orphanage' (2007) may finally be getting off the ground with the announcement that Amy Adams -- who has progressed from sweetheart to tart in her acting roles -- is in talks to star as Laura, the film's protagonist who returns to the orphanage she grew up in with the intention of starting a home for handicapped kids, only to have her son suddenly begin communicating with an invisible entity. Mark Pellington will direct; Guillermo del Toro, who produced the original, will produce this one. Speaking of mysterious visions and del Toro, check out the director's very spooky 'The Devil's Backbone' if you don't want to sleep some night. [SlashFilm]
Olivia Munn is in talks to join the cast of 'Magic Mike,' Steven Soderbergh's film based on Channing Tatum's pre-acting life as a stripper; Munn will play Magic Mike's (Tatum) love interest. Already cast: Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer and 'True Blood's' Joe Mangianello. [Deadline]
The next Coen brothers film has a title and a backer: Variety reports that StudioCanal will co-finance and handle international sales for 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' an original script that centers around the struggles of a folk singer during the 1960s in New York. Scott Rudin, who produced the Coens' 'True Grit' and 'No Country for Old Men,' will be in charge of the production. [Variety]
British actor Harry Lloyd ('Game of Thrones') will join Vera Farmiga and Mark Strong in 'Closer to the Moon,' about a Jewish group of former anti-Nazi revolutionaries in 1959 who use their talents against the Communists in Bucharest, and are arrested for robbing a bank under the guise of staging a film shoot. The film will begin production in the early fall in Bucharest. [Deadline]
We'll leave you with the domestic trailer to David Cronenberg's 'A Dangerous Method,' the director's take on the early days of psychiatry. The film, written by Christopher Hampton, based on his 2002 play 'The Talking Cure,' stars Michael Fassbender as the psychiatric pioneer Carl Jung and Viggo Mortensen as his rival, Sigmund Freud. Keira Knightly plays Russian-Jewish patient Sabina Spielrein, whose relationship with Jung causes a rift between Jung and Freud. Vincent Cassel also stars as another patient. 'A Dangerous Method' opens Nov. 23.
