Every day in July we've been spotlighting books from our month-long Hidden Gems Sale, wherein we're featuring some of our under-the-radar backlist titles and encouraging you to try them by offering them at a nice discount of 25% off! The sale is ending, so now is your last chance to take advantage of these great savings!
Today we present our final spotlight, featuring two realistic, character-driven books by Andrew Zaben.
A promising 100-page debut novel, Dream Big Dreams is a complex narrative about a local bar owner grappling with the decision of whether to sell out to a big chain. The Lower Depths is a secluded basement tavern where locals congregate to discuss socialism and other philosophical concerns. When the owner contemplates selling to a corporation whose sincerity regarding maintaining the bar's integrity is in question, the idealistic regulars resist and decide to take matters into their own hands. Dream Big Dreams is a rarity among debut works: a compelling story rich with thoughtful observations on contemporary society, with well-developed characterizations that slowly come together over the novel's dense 100 pages.
100-page black & white 6.5" x 10.25" softcover
Black humor and strong characterization defines this realistic (but fictional) look at a day in the lives of three bookies as they deal with the everyday hassles of living in search of a mildly dishonest buck.
56-page softcover

From Publishers Weekly's "PW Comics Week." The Hernandez Dynasty: Gilbert, Natalia, and Unca Jaime. As Tom Spurgeon put it this morning, "My friends and I make jokes that everything always comes back to the Hernandez Brothers, but it does." Except now it comes back to the Hernandez Brothers... and Daughters!

Blogger Alan David Doane has run the entire transcript of Barry Windsor-Smith's acceptance speech for the Hall of Fame Award he received last Friday night at the Eisners. The speech turned some heads with lines like "[Work-for-hire is] a legal but unethical instrument designed to rape and plunder young talents," and was read by our own Gary Groth (BWS could not attend the con). Congratulations to BWS' award, and kudos for his candor.
Steven Weissman continues bringing us in-progress pages from "Blue Jay," an epic 32-page story from Chocolate Cheeks, the next collection of the Yikes! gang's adventures. The story continues right here! (We'll be back to our regular Friday update schedule this week, so this page will only be up for a few days! Remember, you must be registered and logged in to read.)
Since I didn't go to Comic-Con this year, I had to enjoy the show vicariously through the blogosphere. My favorite report so far has been this morning's report from Tom Spurgeon at the Comics Reporter. Tom is funny, trenchant, critical, constructive, and his piece elicits the only appropriate reaction possible from such a piece: it simultaneously makes me sorry I missed it and grateful for the chance to enjoy the gorgeous Seattle summer. This quote in particular, about Gary Groth accepting on behalf of several cartoonists at the Eisner Awards, made me laugh: "Gary also always spoke in terms of the privilege of working with the artists in question. He was terrific, and made me feel good about working in comics... My point is, when a professional agitator like Gary is the classiest, most reverential guy in the room, you know comics has some issues."
Speaking of Gary, I loved this pic/caption from the Drawn & Quarterly blog this morning:
I was also grateful for Heidi MacDonald's liveblogging from the Eisners on Friday night to further help me through my Comic-Con DTs this weekend. I'm still pissed I missed Samuel L. Jackson.

John Denver Thought of You Lyrics
Last updated: 07/22/2013 01:24:29 AM
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the It's About Time Album. It has also been released on the Country Classics album.
It's been almost a year since that beautiful weekend
It was more than a lifetime ago
How it happens to mind after all of this time
And brings tears to my eyes I don't know
It's the thought of you
And the way that it hurts to be so much in love
The thought of you
Brings it all my way
I know that it's late, I'm sorry I called
I'm surprised to have found you at home
It's just once in awhile I remember your number
I was hoping that you'd be alone
For I thought of you
And the way you can turn it around with a smile
The thought of you
Brings it all my way
I know that it's over, but I can't discover a way to erase how I feel
I remember the nights and the passionate fights and I know that I love you and I always will
And I want you to know that I'm always here for you
Any day, any night, any time
It happened before, it could happen once more
There's a chance that you might change your mind
For I thought of you
And the way that it feels to be safe in your arms
The thought of you
Brings it all my way
I know that it's over, but I can't discover a way to erase how I feel
I remember the nights and the passionate fights
And I know that I love you and I always will
It's been almost a year since that beautiful weekend
It was more than a lifetime ago
Words and music by John Denver
John calls it a Love Song but this one breaks my heart for him & anyone who has a lost love in their memory | Reviewer: patti | 7/21/13
I have been a JD fan for so long that I can't remember my brain without his music. I first met him and heard him sing at a benefit concert he did at the U of MN in the fall of 1967 or 68. I find all of his songs filled with such true, deep feelings and caring and when I am asked to pick a favorite*, it is impossible. However, in all of the 30 years that I have been listening, buying his albums and seeing him in concerts every year for these past 30 years, I have never heard this song. Since I saw him singing it on YouTube for the first time, just 2 weeks ago, I have not been able to get it out of my heart/mind. The lyrics are filled with pain and longing and the melody is somehow beautiful and pitch perfect, despite the sadness(I am NOT a musician in any sense of the word because I think 'pitch perfect' has to do with the singer but am unable to really truly describe this song)- you will have to hear it yourself - actually SEEING him perform it, is the right way to 'hear' it. IF I am pushed to describe this song further, what I would tell you is that it is dark yet filled with hope?, is mysterious, even though he tells us the real story and overall is hauntingly beautiful. I thought 'Perhaps Love' was incredibly deep and filled with WONDER in his trying to describe what few can -- LOVE, but this one is MORE so. As I watched, I was mesmerized, then shocked to think I hadn't heard it before. I pulled out all of my 70+ CDs & DVDs looking for it. Not on one of them. I came back to 'You Tube' and listened to it until I lost track. I cried for a long time. I have NEVER been as touched by any song, as deeply. The ONE thing I do know is that it could ONLY HAVE BEEN SUNG BY JOHN because he EXPERIENCED THE EVENT and I know of no one else who can translate anything from real life into music the way John Denver can and take us with him. When I realized the meaning of the song, it was even worse. My heart was literally breaking for him. The intensity of his feelings in this song are so 'OUT THERE'. I will never be able to understand how someone could put such feelings into such beautiful words that are so SAD and still be able to sing it for an audience. It is truly a song for lost lovers(BUT I would not recommend any one whose heart is breaking listen to this until you are SO over her/him). John Denver, as he titled his song written for his youngest daughter Jesse Belle,'The Gift You Are' was just that -- a GIFT TO US and one that can never be replaced. I KNOW he was far from perfect as he so willingly and openly, laying bare ALL of his faults and missteps, tells us in his autobiography 'Take Me Home' but he was able to take all of his imperfections and wrongs AND RIGHTS, into songs that moved and changed so many people in a MAGICAL WAY. IN LONG, simply because this review of ONE song is certainly not short, if you want to understand John Denver and how deeply and passionately he felt about everyone and everything he loved and cared for -- from Annie and his family to the rest of the world - all of his friends .... from the tiniest softest newborn duckling to the soaring wondrous spectacular Rocky Mountains that he so LOVED, he cared ... and shared and LOVED ALL OF IT. IF NOTHING ELSE HE MADE US MORE AWARE NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURT, even if he had to share his broken heart with the world as he did. HE IS IRREPLACEABLE AND I, for one, will never forget him, his music, and his love of ALL that makes up our Universe, and I will miss him for the rest of my life. It is a Love Song but one that will break your heart. *ps I think 'For Baby, For Bobbi' IS MY FAVORITE JD SONG -- it was written so long ago, before all the hurts and sarcasm and the FAME and fortune, and in its simplicity and sweetness says EVERYTHING - 'I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand, I'll do anything to help you understand, I'll love you MORE then ANYBODY CAN ... and the WIND WILL WHISPER YOUR NAME TO ME...I'll sing you the song of the Rainbow, whisper all the dreams that are mine .... and Morning Bells will chime.' It is the
first song I softly sang to each of my 3 babies, the first time I put them to bed at HOME. I reached deep into my heart to silently sing it, every I was in bed at HOME waiting for them to get home safely as teens. IT IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE SONG - it has served me well for 48 years since I now sing it to my 4 Granddaughters - the youngest is just 10 months old.

The Waitlist on IMLeagues serves as a holding zone for teams that don't currently have a division that they can play in. Teams are able to enter the Waitlist and start creating their team by adding new members. If a spot in a division or a whole new division open up, teams are able to move themselves from the Waitlist into that division.
Three former Intramural Sports officials will be working the Division II Football National Championship between Northwest Missouri State and Lenoir-Rhyne University.
Dave Siegle will be the referee and work with head linesman Jeremy Valentine and Bryan Earl, as the alternate. The Championship will be played on Saturday, December 21 at Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Alabama.
This is a special opportunity, something many of officials aspire to do. As stated by Dave Siegle, "It's an honor to be selected and I'm excited for the opporutnity."
As everyone is coming back onto campus...so are Intramural Sports! We are offering Soccer, Sand Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee and Softball!
Registration for these four fall intramural sports begins on Friday, September 5th at 10:00am and ends on Monday, September 8th at 4:00pm (or until all spots are filled).

If you have any questions, email us!
Playoff Scheduling for Spring IMs (sand volleyball, soccer, and softball) will open on Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 10 AM and close on Friday, May 24, 2013 at 4 PM. Brackets will be posted to view over Memorial Day Weekend.
All scheduling will take place on IMLeagues.com. You must be a captain of the team to choose your team's spot in the bracket.
If you are having trouble signing up your team please use the Live Chat feature in the upper right corner of the site.
At the IMSB, students can find a great number of Racquetball Courts. The sport can be played three ways; Singles, Doubles, or Cut-Throat (three-on-three). For Michigan IMs tournaments, games will be played one-on-one.
Basic rules to remember once players have started a game are:
Faster in water than you are on ground? Then Michigan Intramurals has the perfect tournament for you. At the historic Canham Natatorium, Intramural athletes will have a chance to compete individually or with relay teams to win T-Shirt Gold.
Badminton is a one-on-one game played on a court similar to that of volleyball, with different dimensions of course. The aim of badminton is to hit the shuttle with your racket so that it passes over the net and lands inside your opponent's half of the court. Whenever you do this, you have won a rally; win enough rallies, and you win the match.
Much like Racquetball, Squash is played at the IMSB with a few different dimensions to court size and gameplay. For starters, the ball is much "squishier" and hollow, making it more difficult for players to judge off walls and floor bounces.
The three basic rules still apply from racquetball:
9-ball is a widely popular game, especially at the Michigan Union. The object of the game is to use the cue ball to knock all the ball into the pockets, in number order. When knocking the nine ball in to win the game.

Anna Hazare is a permanantly confused man..Reason of Kejriwl's present anarchist status is only due to metally confused status of Anna. He fully failed in recognising the black sheep hiiden within Kejriwal.Answered by INDER VIG, 29 Mar 12:11 pm
Anna should stay away from active politics to keep his reputation in tact. He was misguided by his close circles to support Mamata.He should not repeat such a blunder in future. We love n respect him for what he is.Not as a political person.Answered by Damodar Biswal, 29 Mar 12:11 pm

Hi all,
I am having an issue where I have deployed printers to all our classrooms using print management on server 2008. I applied it to a computer GPO rather than a user.
I am now getting an issue, when a user uses a printer in one classroom and then goes to another classroom it retains the previous printer, but it will allow them to choose that classroom printer.
Anyone know how to get this sorted as this is going to cause issues when the classes start?

Can you please provide more detail, it doesn't sound like you are using group policy preferences. I recommend using gpp with item level targeting. Gpp will allow you to target an OU, or group, or just a few computers.
When you setup gpp put all your settings in the computer section of group policy and then it should not follow the user.
I am not as familiar with the deploy with GPO option, however two things to check.
Is your test user in the same OU as the computers?
Are the computers your testing with in the same OU?

Go On, Flip Your Division of Labor: More Time Analyzing and Less Time Prepping Data
Are you in Sales Operations, Marketing Operations, Sales Representative/Manager, or Marketing Professional? It's no secret that if you are, you benefit greatly from the power of performing your own analysis, at your own rapid pace. When you have a hunch, you can easily test it out by visually analyzing data in Tableau without involving IT. When you are faced with tight timeframes in which to gain business insight from data, being able to do it yourself in the time you have available and without technical roadblocks makes all the difference.
Self-service Business Intelligence is powerful! However, we all know it can be even more powerful. When needing to put together an analysis, we know that you spend about 80% of your time putting together data, and then just 20% of your time analyzing data to test out your hunch or gain your business insight. You don't need to accept this anymore. We want you to know that there is a better way!
We want to allow you to Flip Your Division of Labor and allow you to spend more than 80% of your time analyzing data to test out your hunch or gain your business insight and less than 20% of your time putting together data for your Tableau analysis! That's right. You like it. No, you love it. No, you are ready to run laps around your chair in sheer joy!! And you should feel this way. You now can spend more time on the higher value activity of gaining business insight from the data, and even find copious time to spend with your family. How's that?
Project Springbok is a visionary new product designed by Informatica with the goal of making data access and data quality obstacles a thing of the past. Springbok is meant for the Tableau user, a data person would rather spend their time visually exploring information and finding insight than struggling with complex calculations or waiting for IT. Project Springbok allows you to put together your data, rapidly, for subsequent analysis in Tableau. Project Springbok tells you things about your data that even you may not have known. It does it through Intelligent Suggestions that it presents to the User.
Let's take a quick tour:
- Project Springbok tells you, that you have a date column and that you likely want to obtain the Year and Quarter for your analysis (Fig 1)., And if you so wish, by a single click, voila, you have your corresponding years and even the quarters. And it all happened in mere seconds. A far cry from the 45 minutes it would have taken a fluent user of Excel to do using VLOOKUPS.
Fig. 1
VALUE TO A MARKETING CAMPAIGN PROFESSIONAL: Rapidly validate and accurately complete your segmentation list, before you analyze your segments in Tableau. Base your segments on trusted data that did not take you days to validate and enrich.
- Then Project Springbok will tell you that you have two datasets that could be joined on a common key, email for example, in each dataset, and would you like to move forward and join the datasets (Fig 2)? If you agree with Project Springbok's suggestion, voila, dataset joined in a mere few seconds. Again, a far cry from the 45 minutes it would have taken a fluent user of Excel to do using VLOOKUPS.
Fig. 2
VALUE TO A SALES REPRESENTATIVE OR SALES MANAGER: You can now access your Salesforce.com data (Fig 3) and effortlessly combine it with ERP data to understand your true quota attainment. Never miss quota again due to a revenue split, be it territory or otherwise. Best of all, keep your attainment datatset refreshed and even know exactly what datapoint changed when your true attainment changes.
Fig. 3
- Then, if you want, Project Springbok will tell you that you have emails in the dataset, which you may or may not have known, but more importantly it will ask you if you wish to determine which emails can actually be mailed to. If you proceed, not only will Springbok check each email for correct structure (Fig 4), but will very soon determine if the email is indeed active, and one you can expect a response from. How long would that have taken you to do?
VALUE TO A TELESALES REPRESENTATIVE OR MARKETING EMAIL CAMPAIGN SPECIALIST : Ever thought you had a great email list and then found out most emails bounced? Now, confidently determine which emails are truly ones will be able to email to, before you send the message. Email prospects who you know are actually at the company and be confident you have their correct email addresses. You can then easily push the dataset into Tableau to analyze the trends in email list health.
Fig. 4
And, in case you were wondering, there is no training or install required for Project Springbok. The 80% of your time you used to spend on data preparation is now shrunk considerably, and this is after using only a few of Springbok's capabilities. One more thing: You can even directly export from Project Springbok into Tableau via the "Export to Tableau TDE" menu item (Fig 5). Project Springbok creates a Tableau TDE file and you just double click on it to open Tableau to test out your hunch or gain your business insight.
Fig. 5
Here are some other things you should know, to convince you that you, too, can only spend no more than 20% of you time on putting together data for your subsequent Tableau analysis:
- Springbok Sign-Up is Free
- Springbok automatically finds problems with your data, and lets you fix them with a single click
- Springbok suggests useful ways for you to combine different datasets, and lets you combine them effortlessly
- Springbok suggests useful summarizations of your data, and lets you follow through on the summarizations with a single click
- Springbok allows you to access data from your cloud or on-premise systems with a few clicks, and the automatically keep it refreshed. It will even tell you what data changed from the last time you saw it
- Springbok allows you to collaborate by sharing your prepared data with others

The Future of Data for Everyone
Within every corporation there are lines of businesses, like Finance, Sales, Logistics and Marketing. And within those lines of businesses are business users who are either non-technical or choose to be non-technical.
These business users are increasingly using Next-Generation Business Intelligence Tools like Tableau, Qliktech, MicroStrategy Visual Insight, Spotfire or even Excel. A unique capability of these Next-Generation Business Intelligence Tools is that they allow a non-technical Business User to prepare data, themselves, prior to the ingestion of the prepared data into these tools for subsequent analysis.
Initially, the types of activities involved in preparing this data are quite simple. It involves, perhaps, putting together two excel files via a join on a common field. However, over time, the types of operations a non-technical user wishes to perform on the data become more complex. They wish to do things like join two files of differing grain, or validate/complete addresses, or even enrich company or customer profile data. And when a non-technical user reaches this point they require either coding or advanced tooling, neither of which they have access to. Therefore, at this point, they will pick up the phone, call their brethren in IT and ask nicely for help with combining, enhancing quality and enriching the data. Often times they require the resulting dataset back in a tight timeframe, perhaps a couple of hours. IT, will initially be very happy to oblige. They will get the dataset back to the business user in the timeframe requested and at the quality levels expected. No issues.
However, as the number of non-technical Business Users using Next-Generation Business Intelligence tools increase, the number of requests to IT for datasets also increase. And so, while initially IT was able to meet the "quick hit dataset" requests from the Business, over time, and to the best of their abilities, IT increasingly becomes unable to do so.
The reality is that over time, the business will see a gradual decrease in the quality of the datasets returned, as well as an increase the timeframe required for IT to provide the data. And at some point the business will reach a decision point. This is where they determine that for them to meet their business commitments, they will have to find other means by which to put together their "quick hit datasets." It is precisely at this point that the business may do things like hire an IT contractor to sit next to them to do nothing but put together these "quick hit" datasets. It is also when IT begins to feel marginalized and will likely begin to see a drop in funding.
This dynamic is one that has been around for decades and has continued to worsen due to the increase in the pace of data driven business decision making. I feel that we at Informatica have a truly unique opportunity to innovate a technology solution that focuses on two related constituents, specifically, the Non-Technical Business User and the IT Data Provisioner.
The specific point of value that this technology will provide to the Non-Technical Business User will enable them to rapidly put together datasets for subsequent analysis in their Next-Generation BI tool of choice. Without this tool they might spend a week or two putting together a dataset or wait for someone else to put it together. I feel we can improve this division-of-labor and allow business users to spend 1-2 weeks performing meaningful analysis before spending 15 minutes putting the data set together themselves. Doing so, we allow non-technical business users to dramatically decrease their decision making time.
The specific point of value that this technology will provide the IT data provisioner is that they will now be able to effectively scale data provisioning as the number of requests for "quick hit datasets" rapidly increase. Most importantly, they will be able to scale, proactively.
Because of this, the Business and IT relationship has become a match made in heaven.

At the same time Monica Randall was setting up the slides for her speech on Winter Dreams, on Sunday, March 2, there was real winter action at the Theodore Roosevelt Beach. To celebrate the 10th annual UCPN Polar Bear Plunge, Atlantic Steamer Fire Company ex-chief Frank Ozol and Jack Sullivan, event co-chairs dipped into the water wearing tuxedos.
Inside the warm and cozy Koenig Center of the Oyster Bay Historical Society, listeners learned about winters 100 years ago. Monica Randall introduced her talk on Winter Dreams with a quote from one of the listeners. "Of snow, the gentleman said, 'I don't want to see another snowflake.'"
"People are getting depressed with all the snowfall recently, but, they are not doing stuff like this," she commented as she showed slides of the magic and enchantment of the winter season as it was celebrated during the last century. The Victorians regarded winter as a time for gala ice skating parties, winter carnivals and horse drawn sleigh rides.
Her program also featured her personal dreams of the Gold Coast era, garlanded in snow as she took "selfies" at Chelsea in Muttontown; at Old Westbury Gardens and at Lake Mahopac's Hotel on the Mountain.
Costume Collection
Randall recently loaned many items from her collection of antique clothing, including winter furs, for an exhibit at the North Shore Historical Society building in Glen Cove: the old Courthouse. Clothes she rescued from oblivion.
She said in the 1950s and 60s, she and her little sister visited Gold Coast estates as they were being demolished. Once they saw the bulldozers shut down at 5 p.m. they knew they could freely explore the mansions. In the third floor of the houses they discovered steamer trunks with old gowns in them, and dresses that cost thousands, such as ones made by famous designer Charles Worth of Paris.
"We found three metal steamer trunks with winter clothes. It was like discovering King Tut's Tomb. There were unusual furs like moose, Russian sable, ermine and Chinchilla." The sisters "rescued" the clothing with the goal of starting a museum.
Randall showed a slide of a skating party in Central Park, and added that Louis Comfort Tiffany was known for having a skating rink on his estate in Laurel Hollow, where his friends wore costumes for parties.
She explained that for his skating parties Tiffany brought the New York Philharmonic Symphony to play Straus waltzes as women wearing hoop skirts ice skated. There was a hot air balloon from which "Old Man Winter wearing a crown with crystals, tossed snow balls down at the guests. That's imagination," she said.
She showed a slide of a young girl wearing an ermine hat and coat and explained that the $400 outfit was really for showing off by taking a studio photograph.
Gold Coast residents went snowshoeing in Westbury; they took their horses out in the snow for fox hunting; and in Suffolk County they "poured water on a hill to create an iced-over toboggan run for sleds." She had a slide of ice tennis but she doubted it was a true event.
Push Sled
Randall discovered a push-sled in an outbuilding at Mal Maison on Cedar Swamp Road that she used to stage a skating party with friends that she photographed.
Another slide was of ice palaces created in Montreal in 1898. She pointed to a metal saw on the wall of the Koenig Center, part of their exhibit Snow Day In Oyster Bay, saying that it was the kind used to cut out blocks of ice to build the houses.
Creative Photography
The costumes Randall has rescued have not been left in their trunks. Dressed in a red silk opera cape she took photographs of herself at Westbury Gardens and later in another costume at Lake Mahopac's Mohonk Mountain House. There they have horse drawn carriages and an ice sleigh that are available for guests to use she said.
Randall is the author of three books, including The Mansions of Long Island's Gold Coast: Revised and Expanded. The hardcover is currently selling on Amazon for $373.14. She also authored Winfield: Living in the Shadow of the Woodworths; and Phantoms of the Hudson Valley: The Glorious Estates of a Lost Era.
Philip Blocklyn, OBHS executive director, who previously was a bookseller of old and rare books said, "Her Mansions of Long Island's Gold Coast was out of print, and whenever I got a copy, it was bought right away. It was hard to find and someone recently paid $100 for a copy."

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for tips that help arrest a homeless sex offender who hasn't registered with authorities.
William Michael Polinsky, 42, was convicted of third-degree child rape in 1991.
He's a level 1 sex offender, the classification considered least likely to reoffend, but he hasn't checked in with authorities and a $10,000 arrest warrant was issued on Nov. 18, according to court records.
Polinsky's criminal history includes convictions for third-degree theft, attempting to elude a police vehicle, drunken driving, hit and run collision, making false statements and third-degree driving while license suspended.
Polinsky, 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds, is a transient, which means he's required to check in with authorities every week.
Anyone with information on his location is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or submit tips online.

Gardening Accessories
Having gardening accessories are important for any home gardener. The LA Shop offers a wide range of different accessories to help you with any type of gardening needs. These can range from analyzing moisture in the soil to measuring the amount of light given off by your grow lights. The LA Shop can even supply you with herb filtration kits that can let you distill the herbs in your garden.
The herb filtration kit lets you remove the resins from your plants. These are natural substances that are produced by the plant and can only be removed with the right type of micron screen filters. The LA Shop offers you a complete filtration kit and has instructions on using this unique gardening accessory. Other gardening accessories are also available for a fraction of the cost of retail stores.
One of the most overlooked of all gardening accessories is the light meter. This will tell you if your plants are getting enough or too much light. Either of these extremes can cause your plants to wilt and droop. A light meter from The LA Shop will provide you with the correct answer, so you will know if you need to decrease or increase the amount of light for your plants.

|My fancy goldfish love this stuff and they look perky and healthy The large tub is good value too
|We have such healthy goldfish since feeding this food none lost during last winter when the weather was dire In fact we are looking for new homes for some of the fish they have bred so well
|When comparing the prices for fish food, I was astonished to find that 'King British' were leagues ahead of 'Aquarian' in terms of affordability. I was of the opinion that King British were the more superior of the two and did, therefore, expect it to be more expensive. I bought a large tub 200g and it only cost Ł7.19, when Aquarian was priced at Ł10.69.

Thank you TankSpot for allowing this discussion board.
I have been crunching numbers and preferences for a while about which spec to tank in (and of course how to manipulate the last few points of that spec). A death knight in ulduar, seems like an off tanking opportunity to me and so currently i am frost as howling blast gives me a spike of threat and also nice avoidance.
I was wondering if there is any advice out there on which spec to tank in. My current understanding of tanking specs (and i have had my fair share of success with this) is the following:
Unholy: mitigation (<3 bone shield) + magic reduction spec. You get AMZ which is nice cool down to blow on stuff like hordir / iron council hard mode and what have you. Bad single target compared to the other 2 specs
Frost: avoidance (frigid dread plate). UA is kinda lame but HB is nice and so is the extra 6 seconds on IBF. Frigid dread plate would seem to be awesome once you have 60% ish avoidance already as the marginal 3% would amount to 7% ish damage reduction. Good single target and AOE
Blood: Huge HP( Vetran of the Third War). the 6% hp is nice and the 6% str gives you more parry, but it seems like the only reason you would go this way is for VB which is like Last Stand and also cause this gives you superior single target TPS. AOE tanking is difficult to sell (at least to me) on this spec.
Between Blood and Frost, it seems like that the cool down is what makes the difference. Improved Frost presence gives me 2% damage reduction which amounts to 800 hp in a raid situation. A 6% stam increase it seems (according to calculators) gives only 1400 hp. Frgid dreadplate gives much more miss than 6% strength would give.
I generally off tank, so either frost or Unholy is a good idea right?
Again i have had very good success in Ulduar but i was wondering if there was something the tanking comunity felt which I had no idea about

A function is a predefined expression that returns a value based on the results of a calculation. For example, a function might return the current date and time or it might return the sum of all values stored in a repeating field.
To use a function in a form, you include it in a formula, which is an XPath (XML Path Language (XPath): A language used to address parts of an XML document. XPath also provides basic facilities for manipulation of strings, numbers, and Booleans.) expression that consists of arguments, such as values or fields, operators, and functions. You might use a formula to display the date and time, reference fields in a form, calculate mathematical values, or perform string operations such as combining multiple fields into one field. Formulas are stored in fields and formula results are displayed in the controls that are bound (bind: To connect a control to a field or group in the data source so that data entered into the control is saved. When a control is unbound, it is not connected to a field or group, and so data entered into the control will not be saved.) to those fields. You can add a formula to a field by setting either the control's properties (for text boxes, rich text boxes, and date pickers) or the field's properties.
The following tables list the functions that are available in InfoPath.
Formulas that contain mathematical functions usually require arguments that are integer or decimal values. To ensure that arguments are integer or decimal values, instead of null values, select the Treat blank values as zero check box on the General tab in the Form Options dialog box (Tools menu).

Tequila Sweetener May Cure Diabetic Sweet Tooth
Tequila may be the answer to treating diabetic sweet tooth and preventing obesity, a new study suggests.
New research reveals that a sweetener made from agave, a plant used to make tequila helps lower blood glucose levels.
Like Us on Facebook
Scientists said that the sweetener would not raise blood glucose because agavins, a natural form of sugar found in the agave plant, acts like dietary fiber and cannot be broken down by the body.
"We have found that since agavins reduce glucose levels and increase GLP-1, they also increase the amount of insulin," researcher Mercedes G. López, said in a news release. Researchers explain that glucagon-like peptide-1 or GLP-1 is a hormone that triggers the production of insulin by stalling the stomach from emptying.
"Agavins are not expensive and they have no known side effects, except for those few people who cannot tolerate them," she said, adding that agavins, like other fructans, which are made of the sugar fructose, are the best sugars to help maintain growth of beneficial microbes in the mouth and intestines.
While agavins contain fructoses, they are not like high-fructose corn syrup, as they will not raise blood sugar levels. Researchers explain that fructose corn syrup is contains high amounts of fructose sugars, which can raise blood sugar levels. However, because agavins are fructans, which are fructoses linked together in long, branched chains, the human body cannot digest them. Therefore, they consumption of agavins will not affect blood sugar.
Researchers also note that agavins should not be confused with agave nectar or agave syrup because these products are similar to high-fructose corn syrup as they contain fructans that have been broken down into individual fructoses.
López noted that agavins are better than current artificial sweeteners because they cannot be absorbed by the body, and therefore will not cause side effects.
"One slight downside, however, is that agavins are not quite as sweet as their artificial counterparts," she noted.
López and her team conducted a study on animals and found that mice fed a standard diet and had supplemented agavins in their daily water lost weight and had lower blood glucose levels than those given sweeteners like glucose, fructose, sucrose, agave syrup and aspartame.
"This study represents the first attempt to evaluate agavins as sweeteners in spite of their lower sweetness compared to sugar,'" she said.
The findings were presented at the 247th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Dallas, TX.

Man pleads guilty to multiple feloniesApril 25,2013Man admits to felonies
BENNINGTON A local man pleaded guilty to six felony charges and three misdemeanors Tuesday, the day a trial in the case was scheduled to start.
Michael A. Spangenberg II, 23, of Bennington pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court to two felony charges of second-degree aggravated domestic assault, four felony counts of violation of an abuse prevention order, one misdemeanor charge of simple assault by mutual affray and two misdemeanor charges of unlawful mischief.
The state dismissed two felony counts of burglary of an occupied home.
There was no agreement in the case regarding sentencing. Based on the charges to which he pleaded guilty, Spangenberg could be sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.
Spangenberg was arrested in August after police said he assaulted a woman and a man on Aug. 26 in Bennington, forcing the man to fight him off with a knife.
When police were first called, they believed Spangenberg was the victim. But the woman, with whom Spangenberg once had a relationship, told police he had assaulted her the day before and returned on Aug. 26 to attack her and the man.
The man stabbed Spangenberg in self-defense in the waist, causing superficial injuries, police said.
Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett said the state had added charges after reviewing phone records from the Rutland jail and finding that Spangenberg had called the woman more than 100 times.
Christopher Montgomery, who represented Spangenberg, declined to comment after the hearing.
Spangenberg had previous convictions from 2010 for simple assault and violating abuse prevention orders.
Judge Cortland Corsones ordered the Vermont Department of Corrections to conduct a pre-sentence investigation of Spangenberg. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 25.MORE IN This Just InA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov. Full StoryPolice investigate Full StoryMENS HOCKEY Full Story

Some vegetarian children are that way because that's how their family eats. Other youngsters, almost all usually in their teens and predominantly female, have made their own decision to ban meat from their diet.
Most nutrition experts and dietitians say that children of any age—even infants—can safely follow a vegetarian diet, but planning and daily close attention to the diet are involved to be sure that children receive the proper nutrients, especially if their diet does not include eggs and dairy products.
Vegetarian diets come in several flavors!
Vegans or total vegetarians eat food that comes from plant sources only.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians eat dairy products and eggs but no meat.
Lacto vegetarians eat dairy products, but no eggs or meat.
Semi-vegetarians do not eat red meat, but include fish and chicken, dairy, eggs, and plant foods.
Flexitarians are mostly vegetarians who do eat meats occasionally.
Vegans are at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency and may need a B12 supplement. Vitamin B12, crucial for development, is found only in animal products. Female vegans, who are the majority of all vegans, may require iron supplements to maintain adequate iron levels. If an iron supplement is necessary, pair it with a vitamin C-rich food or drink to enhance iron absorption. Avoid taking the supplement with dairy products as calcium inhibits iron absorption. The phenolic compounds found in coffee and teas also inhibit the absorption of iron. Before starting an iron supplement, check with your child's doctor to see if a supplement is necessary.
Vegans can increase their calcium intake through certain vegetables such as broccoli, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, collards, and kale, as well as calcium fortified fruit juices such as orange juice. Calcium fortified orange juice has more calcium by volume than whole milk.
Here are some specific ages and concerns:
Infants breastfed by vegan mothers. These infants will need a vitamin supplement or the mother may need to add Vegetarian Support Formula nutritional yeast to her diet to treat vitamin B12 deficiency. Before starting any supplement, the nursing mother needs to consult her health care provider.
Toddlers. As with any toddler, vegan toddlers may be picky eaters. Vitamin and mineral supplementation may be necessary.
Children and preadolescents. Those who do not drink milk may have difficulty meeting recommended calcium intake.
Children and adolescents. Excess dietary fiber intake in children and adolescents may lead to mild trace mineral deficiencies since fiber interferes with the uptake of some trace minerals.
Children. Vegans and lacto-vegetarians may need iron supplementation.
Adolescent females. Those who are vegan may be deficient in vitamin B12 and iron.
Adolescent males and females. They frequently don't meet daily calcium requirements.
All ages. Maintaining adequate caloric intake at any age may require a higher percentage of calories as fat since, with the exception of starchy vegetables, there are few calories in fruits and vegetables compared to meat, milk, and eggs.

One of the more memorable moments of Mayor Martin J. Walsh's inauguration ceremony at Boston College's Conte Forum on Jan. 6 occurred during a musical interlude featuring Yo-Yo Ma, the 59-year-old Chinese American cellist who lives in Cambridge. Many in the audience anticipated that Ma might seek to tickle the mayor-elect's Irish heartstrings, given that the official program book promised a "traditional Irish melody" as part of his medley, which also included George Crumb's Toccata and Bach's Cello Suite No. 3.
As he took the stage, more than a few boyos in the forum were elbowing each other with wisecracks of the "Yeah, Marty's a huge Yo-Yo Ma fan" variety. But, when Ma eased into his interpretation of the mournful ballad "Danny Boy" — the smart talk ceased and the deep breaths began. Read more
On Jan. 6, the city and the region got its first extended glimpse of the political leader whom we've come to know, simply, as Marty. It was a good first impression and a reminder of why he won last fall: People want to like him.
They also want him to get better— to achieve more than even they thought he could. They still do. Like every one of us, he's a work in progress. And that has been the case with him since Day One of his move into politics.
For folks from Dorchester, he is now the vessel of their own aspirations: the kid from the three-decker on Taft Street who has beaten cancer, a drive-by bullet blast, and "the disease" to grasp his city's ultimate brass ring. Marty has become living, breathing proof that we can tame our own demons and even harness them for the purposes of a greater good— like ministering to an emerging generation of Bostonians whose futures are similarly imperiled by bullets and booze.

Dr. William T. O'Connell of Duxbury, a podiatrist who was known to many as Dr. Bill, led an active life well into his 80s. He traveled extensively, touring Russia and South America, among other places while making 21 trips to Ireland. He skied into his 70s, and, with his wife Rita, devoted considerable time and resources to a wide range of Irish cultural and historic organizations, giving special emphasis, much time, and frequent lectures to educate, entertain and raise funds for the Deer Island Famine Memorial.
Lenahan O'Connell of Jamaica Plain, who died on Jan. 5, celebrated his 100th birthday last June. While a handful of people achieve the centenarian milestone, not many do so having lived a life so large as Mr. O'Connell. From family and the law to the very history and politics of Boston from the 20th to the 21st centuries, this rock-ribbed Boston Irish Democrat, did it all, with a keen sense of justice, humor, hard work, and a commitment to people, whether his law clients or those in society who needed the most help.
Robert H. Quinn, a Savin Hill, Dorchester, native, recovered from a life and death bout with tuberculosis as a young man to became one of the Commonwealth's most powerful political leaders of his generation. Mr. Quinn, 85, was a state representative from Ward 13 who became speaker of the Massachusetts House and, later, state attorney general. He was a pivotal figure in bringing the University of Massachusetts to its present home on Dorchester's Columbia Point in the 1970s.

A tight-knit group of neighbors and family friends will form the nucleus of the inaugural Team MR8, a squad of 100-plus runners who will run in April's Boston Marathon in memory of Martin Richard, the eight-year-old Dorchester boy who lost his life in last year's terror bombing attack.
Each member of the team will raise thousands of dollars for the newly formed Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation, whose mission is "to honor Martin's message of 'No more hurting people – peace' by investing in education, athletics, and community."
Among those hand-picked by the Richard family and their foundation are close friends and neighbors, including Lisa Hourihan Jackson, Jose Calderon, Mike McCarthy, and Harry Benzan, who coached both Martin and his younger sister Jane, who lost a limb in the attack. Read more
Jack Shaughnessy grew up in Quincy, graduated from BC High in wartime 1944, served in the Navy, and afterwards worked with his brother Al in building a very successful crane and rigging business in South Boston.

The year's most indelible images, memories and emotions for the city — and certainly for Dorchester at-large— are connected to the April 15th terror attack on spectators and participants at the Boston Marathon. The bombings killed three and wounded hundreds more and the aftershocks of the two devices rippled across the nation and globe. But the epicenter of grief, in many respects, was here in our backyard, where the Richard family mourned the loss of their younger son, Martin, age 8, who was killed at the scene, while at once coping with grievous injuries to other family members, including Jane, age 7, who lost her leg.

Peter O'Toole met his goal: "To be the event!"
There was always that voice. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to speak with the legendary actor Peter O'Toole, who passed away last month at the age of 81, and I daresay that no one who ever talked to him in person or on the phone could ever forget his voice. No matter whether he was delivering cinematic performances for the ages in such films as "Lawrence of Arabia," "Becket," and "The Lion in Winter," or rendering the only notable scenes in several forgettable movies, that magnificent voice, his intense blue eyes, and a physical presence that captured every conceivable emotion and action made him arguably the finest actor of the past half-century. Despite all that, despite the fact that he was nominated eight times for Academy Awards, he never won. It is an appalling indictment of Hollywood that he has been dubbed "Oscar's biggest loser."

Before the gloves came off late in the Boston mayoral race – City Councillor At-Large John Connolly pointing to negative mailers from an outside group trashing his upbringing and state Rep. Marty Walsh accusing the Connolly campaign of phone calls testing negative messages about him – the candidates more often than not agreed with each other on the issues.
Voters will go to the polls November 5 to choose between the two, who have focused on their biographies: Walsh has been a state lawmaker and labor leader from Savin Hill for 16 years, while Connolly is an attorney and former teacher who has served on the City Council for six years and chaired the council's Education Committee. If either one is elected, control of the top job in City Hall will return to an Irish-American for the first time in 20 years, after Mayor Thomas Menino became the first Italian-American to hold the office. Both candidates also identify themselves as progressive Democrats. Read more

WASHINGTON - Whether it's construction or an accident, sometimes it feels like you never can catch a break on the roads. And if you were caught up in one backup Tuesday morning we've got some answers.
Drivers hate when it seems to take forever to get through a traffic light. That happened to commuters traveling through the light at Route 28 and New Braddock Road Tuesday morning. Our Jack Taylor was on top of it.
Taylor says in the southbound direction that traffic light has been short-timing
Joan Morris of VDOT says there was damage to a pedestrian signal. We don't know if it was hurricane related, but damage caused the signal to malfunction and signal that a pedestrian was pressing the button every time the traffic light changed.
It took 35 seconds away from motorists every time. Morris insists the problem has been fixed.
