A circuit judge has agreed a city employee lost his job for raising concerns about potential fraud during the police headquarters complex's construction, the first case tried under the state's new whistleblower law.
Former city architect Henry Lewis, who served as project manager for the $81 million complex, accused General Services Director Jeremy McPike and contractor Whiting-Turner of failing to abide by the parameters set forth in the original contract between the city and the company, according to court documents.
Lewis, an architect for more than 35-years, believed McPike overstepped his authority by signing invoices on materials located off-site, violating the terms of the agreement between the city and Whiting-Turner, court documents stated. The practice also went against the architect's better judgment.
"Lewis further informed McPike that his ultimate responsibility was to the taxpayers of the City of Alexandria to ensure that they received full value for their money and to ensure that the taxpayers were not defrauded," the complaint stated.
Despite Lewis' concerns, McPike continued to approve materials and documents where the architect's signature was needed, according to court files.
In another instance, this time involving the removal of soil at the site, McPike approved the excavation without Lewis' knowledge — a decision outside the scope of the general services director's authority.
When Lewis alerted his supervisor of the wrongdoing, McPike responded by saying, "Failure to follow direction provided will be considered insubordination and will be subject to disciplinary action," the court documents stated.
Lewis argued it was his responsibility to protect city taxpayers from fraud and false claims associated with the police facility. He alleged McPike was known to approve costly orders submitted by the company, court documents stated.
After several meetings with McPike, Lewis — who received "outstanding evaluations" — was asked to resign, which he refused to do. The architect was fired on August 3, 2011.
Lewis filed a lawsuit against the city citing a violation of the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayer Act, which was passed by the General Assembly several months before his job was terminated. The act serves as a safeguard against whistleblowers, allowing them to sue for retaliatory job actions such as cut wages and benefits.
Lewis alleged his firing stemmed from his complaints against Whiting-Turner, which, according to court documents, strained the city's relationship with the contractor.
His attorney, Zachary Kitts, who did not respond to multiple media inquiries, sought double Lewis' back pay. The judge awarded the architect half — $104,050. Under the Act, though, Lewis would receive twice that amount, or $208,100.
The architect also is seeking an additional $246,528 for loss of benefits and payment for attorney's fees, bringing the city's potential compensation to more than $450,000.
But officials maintain there was no wrongdoing and will appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court, said City Attorney Jim Banks.
"It's almost stark," Banks said. "There was no fraud, there was no retaliation. It's really not any more complicated than that."
"The police facility came in on time and under budget," he added. "There was no evidence and no proof by him that there was anything the city paid for [that] they didn't get."
While Banks was unable to win his case in the lower court, he did succeed in getting allegations against McPike dismissed — the VFATA protects employees from their employers, not supervisors or managers. McPike continues to serve the city as director of General Services.

The contest proved to be a battle of the quarterbacks. Blue Raiders QB Michael May and the Bears' Cole Copeland put on an show for the fans at Benny Monroe Stadium.
The Blue Raiders struck first early in the first quarter, at the 5:54 mark, when Michael May connected with wide receiver Robert Anderson on a screen pass for a 16-yard touchdown.
After the ensuing kickoff the Bears promptly marched 59 yards down the field and evened the score on a 1-yard QB sneak for a touchdown by Cole Copeland.
The second quarter was marred for Cleveland by a series of ineffective drives by the Blue Raiders.
"We had way too many three-and-outs. We simply could not convert on third down and it cost us, while on the other side the Bears were able to do just that. The Bears converted a number of third downs that served as momentum for their offense. They converted, and we didn't," Blue Raiders assistant coach David McMahan said.
The Blue Raiders had no answer for the Bears running attack in the second quarter. Led by sophomore running back Jamey Billups, the Bears pounded the ball from the get-go and tacked on seven points at the 7:04 mark after an 18-yard scramble into the end zone by Copeland.
The Bears rendered the Blue Raiders scoreless in the second quarter, making the score 14-7 in Bradley's favor heading into the second half.
"Even though we didn't score, we stayed within striking distance. Our defense kept us within reach and took a lot of the pressure off of our offense by only allowing one touchdown," McMahan said.
From the onset of the third quarter the Blue Raiders came out firing on all cylinders. Led by a balanced running and passing attack, Cleveland rebounded from its anemic second quarter and evened the score at 5:12 on a Michael May 30-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Peeler.
Less than 15 seconds would run off the clock before the Bears answered. Senior Cal Pickel took the kickoff 80 yards to the house after weaving in and out of would-be Blue Raider tacklers.
"The Bears' kick return for a touchdown killed us. It served as a huge momentum change for them, but it effectively took the wind out of our sails. We came out almost completely flat on both sides of the ball for the rest of the game," coach McMahan said.
The Bears dominated their crosstown rivals for the remainder of the game, scoring 21 answered points in the closing moments of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter.
While the score was constantly changing for the Bears, it remained the same for the Blue Raiders until the closing moments. Cleveland scored one last time with a minute left to make the final score 42-20 in Bradley's favor.
"Bradley is a really good team. They have a lot of big guys that are able to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. But with that being said, I am pleased with our effort in tonight's game. We played the entire game and played hard despite the final score," coach McMahan said.
Cleveland will look to recover from Monday night's loss as it travels to Walker Valley to face the Mustangs on Monday.
The Bears will try and ride the wave of momentum into their next game as they host a tough McMinn County squad, also on Monday night.

The Perfect Server - Gentoo 2007.0
Submitted by rachel (Contact Author) (Forums) on Wed, 2007-09-26 18:06. :: Linux
The Perfect Server - Gentoo 2007.0
Version 0.9
This tutorial shows how to set up a Gentoo 2007.0 based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the x86 version of Gentoo 2007.0, but should apply to other architectures with very little modification.
I will use the following software:
In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it almost out of the box).
The current version of ISPConfig when this HowTo was first written was 2.2.16. No attempt has been made to make it work with earlier versions. The latest version it has so far been tested with is 2.2.17. It should work with later ones, although it's anticipated that this HowTo will be refreshed as and when such later versions appear.
Gentoo, by nature and design, offers a lot of ways for you to complete your initial install, so the best thing to do is probably to refer to the Gentoo Handbook for your architecture and follow the instructions in Part 1 "Installing Gentoo", and resume following this howto from after the base install is complete.
What immediately follows is a straight-line install of the most generic system on a generic PC. If you want to follow these instructions for another architecture, you can mostly do so, but partitioning, kernel configuration and bootloader configuration are highly likely to be different, and other parts may be too, so you'll still need to refer to the Gentoo Handbook for those.
As there's no such thing as an entirely generic PC, the install system used to write this howto is, specifically, a virtual machine in VMWare Server configured to "Other Linux 2.6.x kernel" with 128MB RAM, a 5.5GB (IDE) virtual disk, no floppy, and otherwise entirely default.
1 Requirements
To install such a system you will need the following:
2 Preliminary Note
In this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.1.5 and the gateway and DNS server 192.168.1.1. These settings will differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
Where they exist, long-versions of command options are given throughout for clarity's sake.
Those of you who need to follow the Gentoo Handbook to set up your system, go and do so now, and return to page 3 of this HowTo when you're done.

Yosemite Home Decor Stone Products Georgia-B Vessel Sink
Product Description
Faucet not included.
Georgia Zen Vessel Sink
Yosemite Home Decor's Georgia Zen Cut Vessel Sink is made of polished granite stone. This granite vessel sink is essentially hand carved; however, the help of some modern tools like small diamond saws and handheld polishing tools have been employed. Because it is hand carved, you can expect small variations in the size and shape of the Georgia sink. Generally, a size allowance of a quarter of an inch to an inch is given.
- Hand carved from a single piece of natural stone
- To maintain the beauty of your natural sink, wipe after use with a soft cloth. In addition, clean regularly with granite or marble cleaner
- Stone surfaces can be easily etched by cleaning products containing acids. Clean, polish and seal only with products meant for natural stone materials
- Centered 1.5'' drain placement
- Chamfer polished edges
Note: Stone is acquired from different areas of a quarry, meaning the coloration of the actual bowls will vary from the picture shown.

Looks fantastic, but not overly functional
By Christina S. from The woodlands, TX on Aug 10, 2009
It is a great show piece, but I find the water splashes too much and it isn't very practical. Perhaps it is better suited for a guest bathroom instead of the Master Bathroom.

Beautiful natural stone sink

Great product but mis-represented
By Gina R. from Pemborke, NC on Mar 03, 2011
Practical, Stylish
The product is a good product but was not the product that was shown in the picture on the website. In the picture it has a Blue bottom and when I received it, it has a greyish/black bottom. The reason I liked this Sink was because of the Blue bottom matches my bathroom color. I have tried several time to talk with someone there but have not been successful. Everyone is always busy and will call me back!

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 288 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SirKnight999 The staff made all the difference Hotels, for the most part, are just places to sleep and rest. However, if the staff of a hotel and convention center are professional and act as if they want to be there, your stay will be a lot more than just a place to sleep and rest. People expect clean rooms, comfortable atmosphere, and a few amenities to make their stay a good one. But a smile and a "how are you" goes a long way from a staff member that looks professional, acts professional and conducts themselves professionally. This is what you will get when you stay at this hotel, from the check-in staff to the room service staff. May 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by sleepy9 Good stay annoying maid I had not checked out of my room yet and found the door wide open when I came back to my room. I tried to take a nap in my room for an hour before I had to check out, I placed the privacy hanger on the door and turned the privacy lock. The maid still knocked and kept knocking on the door until I was able to wake up, and get to the door. She said she was sorry, but my nap was interrupted, and I wasn't able to get back to napping because I was so strung up with stress at the time, I guess. I just wish the maids would leave me alone when I have all indications I don't want to be bothered. November 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Stella14 Great staff but needs some work The staff at this hotel are exemplary ... friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel itself needs some work. From picking up the handset at the Airport to get the shuttle (requested to press 3 from a handset with no buttons was perplexing), to the checkin setup where the computer screens blocked me from engaging with front staff effectively to getting a room that was almost unsafe in how rippled the carpet was ... my initial experience was not the best. However, thanks to the great service, this negative experience soon faded. These items should still be addressed but the good news is that these are easy fixes. Having such great staff is much more difficult. I hope you give them a great Christmas bonus! December 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy43 Top Notch Stayed here during a conference. Very clean and comfortable, up to date and modern September 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MR14 Disappointing I checked in with my family late on July 4th. When we first settled in, the room seemed fine enough, but the air conditioner was extremely loud and kept me awake most of the night. When the air condition was off (which was only occasionally because it was so old it couldn't actually cool the room), there was a steady drip coming from the bathroom. A pipe was leaking above the shower and when you lifted the panel above the shower a torrent of water came down. It was not a dripping faucet, but a full-on leaking/burst pipe. When I mentioned this to the staff the next morning I was cheerily told "thanks for telling us ... we'll pass it along". I was expecting some sort of restitution for an otherwise miserable stay in a luxury property. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hantifen Great hotel staff Wonderful staff at the hotel. Front desk is always ready to help and very attentive to the guest's need. Only inconvenience is the additional fee required for the gym facility usage next door. Since the majority of hotel has its own gym, it would be nice if the gym access for Sheraton is also complimentary with the stay. One compliant is the Cafe on-site that supposedly offered Starbucks quality beverages. Ordered a cappuccino one morning from the Cafe, and when ready to enjoy the foamy beverage, it was great disappointment to find that there were no foam in the cappuccino. It basically looked like a regular coffee with added hot milk. Completely missed the essence/identify of how a cappuccino should be like. April 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by RudyCDX1 Over Sold - Late Arrival I arrived to find that there were no more rooms left even though I had a "Guaranteed Late Arrival". The front desk person put me in a room with a maintenance issue; the electronic door lock was not working. At 1:30am I had no other choice but to take this room. The maintenance man was called and he used a wire slipped under the door to open the latch and let me in. If I left the room this would have to be repeated. I am glad I had a room to sleep in but very disappointed that I arrived to find that I the hotel was oversold and I was the unlucky person to get the shaft. March 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by martimal Service is inconsistent Front desk service is trending down. I've stayed at this hotel over 35 times in the past year. They forgot to provide me my corporate breakfast coupons on my last stay and never apologized, acknowledged that they will send my folio via email 3 times and didn't do it until I called. When I requested a power cord for a meeting, they didn't send it up until we called a manager. On the phone right now and the person was rude. Again, no acknowledgement of not sending my bill and waited for over 5 minutes. Not sure what is happening with this hotel but considering to switch. May 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by davidfromcharlotte staff and internet needs helps already submitted a complain online and sent an email while staying there. I had the biggest problem connecting to internet on 2 different laptop and my Iphone. I had to use my data on my phone and make it my internet while at the hotel to get my work completed. When I called downstairs the staff had said two things - Hello and hold on - and connected my to some tech support without even asking me what my problem was. August 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HotelJunkie27 A little bumpy This was my boyfriend and my first time at this hotel and we were staying for our anniversary. There was a mix up in the reservation date and the front desk got us checked in but double charged us. And didn't tell us. Then the other guy stopped me in the hall later to tell me the deposit as lost. I called the Starwood help line and they talked to the manager who told us 2 different things. It was a mess. It wasn't until checkout that we had a knowledgeable staff member help us, congratulate us on our anniversary and apologize for the mix up. We still had to sort out the rest of the details on the phone after we left. Also the shower only had cold water that morning. The best was comfortable though and the room was clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SteveKzoo elegant hotel off the beaten path Had a very nice time at the Sheraton. Nice Bar. Wish the fitness center was in the hotel, but not a big deal. Had a little problem finding it but once I did, I was quite surprised by the amenities. I had a great experience until I lost my ID card. The night audit was a young woman named Lisa. She helped me with advice on how to contact the airlines the next day and offered me another room key since I had lost it too. I went out to my car and she gave me a flashlight as well. Turns out my ID was buried in the seat of my rental car. But thanks to Lisa, she made me feel a bit more calm about the situation and went above and beyond what she had to do, especially at midnight. Because of her efforts, I am inclined to stay there again. May 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MSL48 Horrible SPG Experience My rcent stay was horrible. I had a 2/25/14 reservation. The hotel said I could stay on 2/24/14 as well, only to be kicked out of my room that evening despite telling them that 1) i had a 2/25 reservation, and 2) i am paying for 10+ of my employees EVERY WEEK to stay there. After expleianing how I ave have been VERY LOYAL to Starwood, all I got was an email kicking me out of my room. Nice job... March 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosie657 A Winner In All Categories Having recently stayed at a property from another chain that is known for their superlative service, we were pleasantly surprised at the warmth and hospitable nature of the entire staff. Although the maintenance of a property is very important, it comes down to the staff and how they present not just themselves, (your voice printout) but the company they represent from the very second you step up to the counter for checkin to the very last minute you depart. The management obviously cares at the Sheraton Imperial as well as the staff. Keep up the good work. November 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BarryG Great hotel, nice location, friendly staff I've stayed in this hotel many times, it's one that we can stay at when on company business and I am so happy about that! I first stayed here 18 years ago when I got snowed in for a few days. Thankfully that hasn't happened since, nevertheless I always enjoy the friendly smiles and the Club Lounge. August 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KarinKD Great People Everything was great from the shuttle driver to the bartender to the two people at the front desk. But, I want to especially thank Nicole who helped me fix a problem with my reservation. I so much appreciated Nicole's attitude and ability!!! I was only there from 10 pm to 5 am the next day, otherwise I'd have more positives I'm sure. Thank you everyone! August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by STANBARB We enjoyed our stay We expected great service from the Sheraton Imperial and that is what we received. The staff was great and responded in a positive way to all of our needs and requests. We will stay here again in the future. September 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BruceIan run down, aging, many things broken I've stayed here 1 too many times. Staff is very attentive. some are prone to making excuses instead of working to fix the issues. Many things are either just barely working or broken. Had the desk chair replaced when I got to the room. Would not raise. Any attentive room staff should have seen it. Sink is stained in many places. Side door access to hotel (with room key only) did not work for me or the person before me. They came and opened it after calling on the courtesy phone... as I said, staff works hard. Door lock to room does not recess enough to let the door close automatically. Must hold finger in door for last 3 inches. The place is just barely adequate. After many many stays here, I've just had enough. I will look for an alternative SPG hotel next time. Even if the drive to work longer. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LuckyLo Fantastic customer service EVERY single employee I encountered knew the meaning of customer service.....and with a smile! I have stayed in this hotel 3 times and the staff are so friendly, it feels like coming home. Lori in the bar is lovely, the staff at the reception always greet you with a smile and a "hello, how was your day?" and on my last trip, I also met the general manager who is really nice. The rooms are really comfortable, there is a great gym next door and the hotel is close to RTP and the airport. I would have given this hotel an excellent but I think that the hotel has two areas of improvements: wifi (if you don't use your wifi for a while, you have to log back in which takes a few minutes) and the food menu (it would be good if the hotel changed it every now and again). February 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ben64 May 29th stay Although I was upgraded to the 7 floor preferred guest level, the room 917 was very noisy at night due to garbage compactor removal (3:00am) as well as the building exterior metal structure was cracking during night as it contracted and cracking in the morning as it expended due to heat from the sun. I had a very disrupting night of sleep. The air conditioning in this room was also very noisy during the start and stop sequence, to the point where I jumped couple of time as I did not expected this type of noise from a room AC. May 31, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JGR305 SPG Gold Not Recognized Here Told by front desk agent that upgrades are not offered to SPG Gold-level customers-they are only offered to SPG Platinum-level customers. The front desk supervisor verified this policy. Brought this to the attention of the MOD before I left in the morning. Nice guy, but no clear understanding of the SPG program. The guest room was an average Sheraton guest room--decorated in average Sheraton style. Room was clean and tidy. Hallway extremely noisy from guests returning to their rooms until about 2 AM; noise from passersby picked up again at about 7 AM. Seasons restaurant a little below average--even the "special menu" was not all that great, although prices were OK. Not a reasonable property for quiet rest, or to take advantage of SPG privileges. Many other options in the area. March 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobbyConference Conference I really enjoyed my stay. The room was larger than I expected and included wired internet access. I've stayed in hotels where the wireless internet was poor quality and it was nice having solid wired internet. The waiters in the restaurant were very friendly even when I came in for dinner ten minute before closing time. The cable TV channels were very good. Only negative was some minor cosmetic problems with the room - carpet was sticking up slightly. Wallpaper was sticking out a bit. Not a big deal to me. October 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caitlin84 Conference Experience I was very impressed by not only the facilities, but by the friendliness of the staff. When attending a conference with a group of students, the check-in/check-out process can be a little chaotic. The hotel staff made those processes quick and easy. All of our needs were met, and always with a genuine smile. The room itself was very comfortable, and very clean. I would most definitely recommend the Sheraton Imperial whether you are planning a conference, or are just looking for a place to stay. March 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rjbour Enjoyed my stay at Sheraton Imperial Hotel The hotel staff were all friendly and very helpful. Everything was clean and fresh. The Club Room was nice and the food was perfect. My room was as I expected, lots of space, clean, and very comfortable. The shuttle took our group of 11 to a near by restaurant without problem or delay. Our return ride to the hotel was there within minutes. I can't say enough good things about the staff and hotel. Everything was Perfect! Thank you Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center for a great experience. June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by spgwhiz They dont make them like the used to This is one of those properties that they dont make them like they used to. Wide open lobby and restaurant, very fast elevators on both sides of the property, central air, large bathtubs, and as much hot water as you can take. Sure you can stay at those newfangled sporty hotels opened up in RTP that are showers only and no bathtubs so this place was like a real hotel was supposed to be. The staff is as friendly and well trained as the reviews suggest, I visit here a few times per year and never much see a new face so turnover must be low. Appears to be well run and well managed. There is an actual painting (not picture) of the general manager off to the side in the lobby and according to the painting he has a connection to Brooklyn, a distinct touch. Like I said, they don't make them like they used to. June 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Martino Overall a good experience The convenience to the airport is an asset - the staff was friendly - I was there for a photographers's convention and everything seemed to run smoothly. Breakfast omelettes were great - lunch was OK August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BarryG Great Hotel and Upgrade The last time I stayed here was more than 15 years ago during a snowstorm. This time the weather was great. So was the room - the most unbelievable upgrade as a Platinum member. Thank you! My only suggestions are to open the club lounge 30 mins earlier for breakfast, and to have on any information about the kosher certification of the food in the lounge. Great hotel, friendly staff - wonderful room. And thanks to my company for adding this hotel to the approved list this year! July 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by fgoodwin Welcoming I have stayed here often, this visit was new staff I had never seen at the front desk. They treated me like I was a king. I was also able to see some of the staff that I did know and they always welcome me like family. August 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gil57 OLD but OK Overall this hotel is good, no more. The rooms need big update. rooms are too dark, carpet is very old and furniture just acceptable. Bed mattress ready for replacement, pillows are OK and bed linen's also acceptable. Shower need telephone style head, toilet need more pressure, always need two flush... Flow in shower also too low. Restaurant has good breakfast but lunch and dinner menu quite limited. A must to have a car to go out for dinner, many restaurants nearby. February 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by UNCAlumni Truly Enjoyed My Stays! Thank you for the great service and accommodation. When I stayed last week, I was upgraded to a nice size room. One of the days, the executive lounge was closed due to renovation, but you all did not hesitate to accommodate for this occurrence! I truly appreciate the positive attitudes of your staff and their willingness to help satisfy their guests! Please know that did not go unnoticed! Please continue to keep your customer's at the forefront of your daily business! December 19, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kat34 This hotel is poor compared to other SPG hotels It took forever to check in The front staff wasn't very friendly This hotel doesn't value your SPG status which isn't stated on it's website August 16, 2014

Our range of Pent Metal Sheds is ideal if you're looking for a low maintenance, secure and easy to build garden storage space. All our buildings are sourced from high quality retailers who produce durable buildings ideal for storing almost anything. This range are pent shaped; this means they either have a flat roof. The roofs are slightly sloped; this stops any water gathering helping to prevent leaks or water damage.
These buildings are made from quality, specially designed metal like galvanised steel. This type of material is specifically designed to be rust resistant. All of our sheds come with at least a 10 Year Anti-Rust Guarantee; this just shows how well made our products are. Wooden sheds are traditional and look great but they do require a lot of maintenance. They need painting every year and the roofing felt should be checked and monitored too. If you're a landlord and rent your property out a metal shed could be perfect! You can still store items in your garden but you don't have to worry about the building disintegrating.
All the sheds in this category don't have any windows; most of these storage spaces are designed to have solid panels so therefore they don't have any windows. This helps make anything you do store more secure; everything is kept hidden away from prying eyes. Adding a padlock or chain and lock is easy and will add more security. An anchor kit also helps make buildings more secure; it anchors the bottom of the shed to the base it is sat on. This helps protect against strong winds, theft and leaks.
A Pentl Shed would make the ideal addition to any gardeners home; it provides space for safe storage. We provide free UK delivery to most postcodes around the UK. Take a look at our delivery charges map for more information.

Botswana: Cultural Commodification And Tourism: The Goo-Moremi Community, Central Botswana
Joseph E. Mbaiwa, 2011
Botswana is promoting cultural tourism to diversify the country's nature-based tourism industry, to increase citizen participation in tourism development; and, improve rural livelihoods. The objective of this paper is to analyse tourism and cultural commodification at Goo-Moremi Village, Central Botswana, an emerging destination for cultural tourism. Conceptually, the study is informed by the debates around cultural commodification. Using both primary and secondary data sources, culture at Goo-Moremi Village and Gorge is considered sacred as ancestor worship controls the day-to-day lives of people. Ambivalence, tensions and local resistance emerge in the process of commodifying culture at Goo-Moremi village. Some local people embrace the commodification of their culture into a tourism product because of anticipated socio-economic benefits whereas others resist cultural commodification as a result of fears that it may devalue their culture and belief system.

A newborn infant with generalized glutathione synthetase deficiency.
Turk J Pediatr. 2004 Jan-Mar;46(1):72-5
Authors: Yapicioğlu H, Satar M, Tutak E, Narli N, Topaloğlu AK
Pyroglutamic aciduria (5-oxoprolinuria) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by either glutathione synthetase deficiency (GSSD) or 5-oxoprolinase deficiency. The severe form of the disease, generalized GSSD, is characterized by acute metabolic acidosis, usually present in the neonatal period with hemolytic anemia and progressive encephalopathy. We report a female infant who had a severe metabolic acidosis with high anion gap, hemolytic anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. High level of 5-oxoproline was detected in her urine and a diagnosis of generalized GSSD was made. She died of severe metabolic acidosis and sepsis at the age of six weeks.

Sartori Cheese Presented Thirteen Medals At 2012 World Cheese Awards
BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sartori Cheese was awarded thirteen medals at the 2012 World Cheese Awards held in the UK this week. The World Cheese Awards is a premier and highly competitive worldwide competition – with cheese from 30 countries and a record 2,781 entries this year.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121130/CG22136) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110615/CG20898LOGO)
Sartori's top finish came from its Limited Edition Cognac BellaVitano ® cheese which was awarded a Super Gold Medal – one of the select few cheeses advancing to the final round of judging. In 2011 Cognac BellaVitano took 3 rd place overall – the highest ranking ever for a cheese from the United States. In this year's competition, Sartori SarVecchio ® Parmesan took home another first place gold medal, the 10 th internationally recognized accolade for this cheese in just the past two years and its 22 nd award in the past five years. In addition to the Gold Medal finishes, Sartori was awarded six silver medals and five bronze medals. "It is a tremendous honor to earn even one medal at an international competition like this and earning thirteen across a broad spectrum of our cheese is really something special," says third generation owner, Jim Sartori.
"People often ask me what the secret is," continues Sartori. "The first thing I tell them is that it all starts on the farm; we are blessed to have wonderful family-owned patron dairy farms that provide us the highest quality supply of fresh rBST-free milk." Many of Sartori's patron dairy farmers are also multi-generation operations and have been selling milk to Sartori since the beginning in 1939. The farms are all within a close radius of the plant, enabling the company to convert the milk to cheese very quickly.

Following a report published in the BMC Medicine journal, the Scottish Green Party has called for a radical shift in our food culture. The report linked the consumption of large quantities of processed meat with the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The extensive study looked at the eating habits of just under half a million people from 10 European countries over an average period of 13 years.
It found that those eating more than 160g of processed meat per day were 44% more likely to die within the 13 year period than those who ate 20g or less.
One of the authors of the report, Dr Sabine Rohrmann explained that:
"High meat consumption, especially processed meat, is associated with a less healthy lifestyle.
"But after adjusting for smoking, obesity and other confounders we think there is a risk of eating processed meat.
"Stopping smoking is more important than cutting meat, but I would recommend people reduce their meat intake."
The Scottish Greens acknowledged that poverty forces many people to buy the cheapest products and have urged food manufacturers to act more responsibly.
Alison Johnstone, Lothian MSP and food spokesperson for the Scottish Greens said:
"Manufacturers have a huge amount of power over our diets and they should be doing more to cut down the amount of salt, fat and additives content of processed meat products. It is not fair for commentators and the Scottish government to encourage people to buy better quality cuts of meat as this excludes large numbers of people who can't afford that option.
"We need a radical shift in our food culture and to tackle head on the poverty that forces families to buy the cheapest option. We should be teaching all of our children to cook tasty meals that don't always have meat as the main component, and doing more to promote active lives. How many of us have the skills our grandparents had when it comes to cooking from a few basic ingredients?"
The British Heart Foundation recommends choosing leaner cuts of meat and healthier cooking methods such as grilling, along with varied protein choices like chicken, fish, beans or lentils.
Dr Rachel Thompson, from the World Cancer Research Fund, said: "This research adds to the body of scientific evidence highlighting the health risks of eating processed meat.
"Our research, published in 2007 and subsequently confirmed in 2011, shows strong evidence that eating processed meat, such as bacon, ham, hot dogs, salami and some sausages, increases the risk of getting bowel cancer."

A Bondage Affair
Added: May 5, 2013
A Bondage Affair. A Master intricately ties his slave to a trapeze. The bound and chained blonde is at the mercy of her Master, who keeps threatening to leave her in that condition, much to her dismay at the prospect of his leaving. Master suspends the blonde from the ceiling, then ties her to a stepladder and goes down on her as she squirms. Then, with the blonde in a supine position, but not trussed very firmly, the Master uses a vibrator on her and makes her squirm, though the blonde doesnt seem very subservient. Or humiliated. What she does seem to be is HOT.
Bound to Conform
Added: April 21, 2013
Bound to Conform . We see a bound blonde in several different settings including a jail cell, at the mercy of a deputy. A gagged and bound blonde in a jail cell has no choice but to obey the female deputy who put her there. Later we see her spreadeagled on the hood and windshield of the patrol car. She is tethered to the patrol car, then tied to a saw horse and made to ride it, then tied to some sort of large tank while totally naked, her cunny and boobs on view for all to see. Great closeup of her cunny and clitty. The justice system certainly works in the horny viewers favor in this vid.

The Perfect Gift. A pair of classy busty babes decide to have some devilish fun in the afternoon, practicing their knot tying and breaking out their new gags and handcuffs. They take turns binding each other up, and they are both in pure ecstasy as they pussies and tits get teased and lashed.

"Reading through the instructions seemed a little daunting, however after it was all said and done, it was very easy. Amazing flavor profile especially with the asparagus. Was afraid it would need salt, but turned out perfectly. Nutrition information is off because it didn't have the alfredo sauce included, but still much better than our alter..."
"This was very good, when I read the recipe I thought it sounded alot like the KFC bowls with chicken, potatoes, cheese etc. so I added corn (and a little more milk) like they do at KFC and it was fantastic! I will use this again for sure!"
"Wow, easy to make! I had some homemade Salsa I made from the veggies in my garden and it worked great with this recipe. Thanks."

GFI Backup – Home Edition: Free backup for home users!
Why should a home user backup? Most don't, most people just have their photos, music and video collection on a single hard drive, maybe an external drive or even a USB key. Unfortunately, no-one ever thinks about what they'd do if their drive were to fail, losing all their precious holiday snaps, their slightly embarrassing music collection, or perhaps their family finances. But stop and think for a second – can you really replace those holiday snaps? What about your music collection – do you want to spend 3 days importing all your CDs or DVDs? Or maybe your personal finance app – is that something you could afford to lose?
With my little preachy bit out of the way, I'll come to my point – GFI have released their own home backup software, and from what I can see, it's pretty good. Installation is dead simple, and then you're presented with your main screen:
Simple enough, Backup lets you…well…backup, Restore, funnily enough, lets you restore, Sync is a handy tool for syncing data across several sources, and finally My Tasks lets you modify previously configured Backup, Restore and Sync tasks.
Configuring Backups is as simple as selecting What, Where and When – What do you want to backup? Where do you want to back it up to? When do you want to back it up? There are some nice features over the bundled-with-Windows NTBackup
- email notifications
- backup to an FTP site
- backup registry keys
- backup email applications
- backup user settings (i.e. your AppData folder)
- "stacked backup" that keeps versions of your data
- zip compression
- aes encryption
In my test the pre-scan element of the backup took a while, but the actual backup itself was pretty speedy. I backed up my website (about 3000 files, 10mb) in 54 seconds to an external USB drive.
Restoring is just as easy, you can select to restore the entire backup, or individual files and folders. Both work well and are intuitive. I restored the same web folder back to my hard drive in an incredible 9 seconds.
I've not tested comprehensively, but on the surface it looks like a great piece of home software, which I'll be using to do some off-site backups at home. And it's free, which means you can't go far wrong – nice one GFI!

Using AC97 audio with Windows 7
Like thousands of other IT pros out there, I'm testing Windows 7 out on my laptop - since I don't want to mess around with my main PC, it's running on some older kit. The problem with that is that there aren't many Vista drivers around for the hardware - why would there be, it's not even supposed to be able to run Vista?! It does, however, run Windows 7 very admirably (just one of the many improvements).
The only problem was the sound card, the only drivers available from Dell for the onboard sound were for XP, which crash in both Vista and 7. The sound card is compatible with Intel's generic AC97, so it didn't take long to find a Vista compatible AC97 driver from RealTek which will run any AC97 hardware, regardless of the actual manufacturer.
Internet Explorer or Services.msc problems after McAfee Uninstall
I'm in the middle of rolling out Sophos as a replacement to the incumbent McAfee at work. One interesting thing that I found as I rolled out to some test users was that they were unable to log on to one of our internal systems using NTLM (integrated authentication). Instantly the roll out of Sophos was blamed - and I can understand why - the problem did not occur until Sophos was installed.
But the truth is that in it's dying breath McAfee had one last laugh and had un-registered jscript.dll and vbscript.dll. I can say that now because I've spent a morning with Sophos support and been on the brink of abandoning our roll-out until I looked into one of the side symptoms.
Sophos was ruled out as the cause because a) it did not effect ALL the Sophos test machines, just ones where McAfee was uninstalled b) with Sophos disabled (services and browser add on) the problem did not go away c) Uninstalling Sophos did not solve the problem. It did however, point me in the right direction - during the uninstall there was an error message, the fix for which was to re-register jscript.dll (clue #1)
When I opened Services.msc, the Extended view simply showed a blue frame - Standard view was fine. One of the fixes for this was to re-register jscript.dll and vbscript.dll (clue #2).
Clue #3 came when I googled McAfee and jscript.dll, rather than blaming it on Sophos. A myriad of pleas for help from McAfee users with stuffed browsers, update issues and the like.
The Solution
- Download and run the McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool (http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=2057&id=TS100507)
- Reboot if required
- Open a command prompt (Start > Run > "cmd")
- Type the following commands in one at a time, hit enter and acknowledge the result
- Regsvr32.dll jscript.dll
- Regsvr32 vbscript.dll
- Reboot again
Now, let me take this opportunity to say that McAfee is a resource hogging, trouble making screwed up piece of software which I pray to God that I never have to support again. </rant>

Car crashes into building in McMinnville
Nov 5, 2012 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
A Newberg man was arrested Saturday night after the vehicle he was driving at a high rate of speed crashed into the old Hubbard's Shoe Grease Company building at 1145 N.E. Lafayette Ave., McMinnville.
Sgt. Tim Symons of the McMinnville police identified the suspect as Jorge Alberto Valdez, 19, of 207 E. Seventh St. He was charged with one count each of first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal trespass, driving under the influence of intoxicants, hit-and-run and recklessly endangering another person, in addition to two counts of attempt to elude a police officer/foot and vehicle. He was lodged in the Yamhill County Jail on $40,000 bail pending arraignment at 1:20 p.m. today before Circuit Court Judge Cal Tichenor.
Symons gave this account of the 10 p.m. crash:
A McMinnville officer attempted to stop a 2002 Dodge Stratus driving south on Northeast Lafayette Avenue with its headlights off. The car sped away by turning west on 11th Way, north on Alpine Avenue and east on 12th Avenue before returning to Lafayette Avenue.
The car attempted to turn back onto 11th Way westbound at a high rate of speed but went out of control and crashed into the building. The vehicle and building were damaged. Valdez was not injured.
He and a passenger fled, but were located a short time later in the backyard of a residence on Riverside Drive. Two other passengers remained in the vehicle and were cooperative with officers.
Valdez recorded a blood alcohol content of .16, twice the presumptive level of intoxication in Oregon. The 14-year-old male passenger who fled was cited for being a minor in possession of alcohol by consumption. He was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Willamette Valley Medical Center for evaluation of potential injuries.
The two passengers who remained in the vehicle were not cited. They sustained minor injuries.

A baronetcy becomes Extinct when heirs cannot be traced and are believed not to exist. In this case it would no longer be listed, but would be re-activated should an heir subsequently emerge.
The Royal Warrant of Edward VII of 8th February 1910 states "no person whose name is not entered on the Official Roll shall be received as a Baronet, or shall be addressed or mentioned by that title in any civil or military Commission, Letters Patent or other official document". Persons wishing to prove succession should read the information given in the Succession Section.
The holders of the Baronetcies listed in the attached document (Unclaimed Baronetcies ) have died, but in each case, up to 31st December 2013, no person has proved succession and thus the Baronetcies are either "Dormant" (Baronet died in 2007 or earlier) or "Vacant" (Baronet died in 2008 or later).
