After trying to manage the situation by having staffers scour de Borchgrave's work for suspect verbiage, Decker unilaterally suspended de Borchgrave's column in early 2012. But it later resurfaced in the paper's news pages. Meanwhile, according to internal Times emails, McDevitt and the Times's then-board chairman met with Decker and warned him that his job was in danger. While recounting the incident in a March 23 report to the paper's human resources department, Decker noted, "I believe I could be fired in retaliation for blowing the whistle on plagiarism by TWT Editor-at-Large Arnaud de Borchgrave, who is known to be a close advisor to the president of the company and is seen as having connections to potential investors."
In fact, Decker was not immediately let go. But it was clear that changes were afoot. In early June, McDevitt announced that he had enlisted a group of consultants to pursue unspecified business goals for the paper. Among them was a former State Department flack, David Jackson, and a longtime McDevitt ally, John Solomon, who had served as Times executive editor from 2008 to 2009. During his tenure, Solomon ushered in sweeping changes and launched a raft of bold revenue-generating schemes, most of which either lost money or never got off the ground.
Shortly after his return, Times officials say, Solomon began picking up his old management duties, which stirred fear that another wave of major shifts was coming. Solomon also ran a competing news site called The Washington Guardian, which some viewed as a conflict of interest. (Solomon did not return emails seeking comment.)
This was the state of play in early September when news broke that the paper's 92-year-old founder, Rev. Moon—the self-proclaimed Messiah turned business tycoon—had succumbed to pneumonia. His death was a major blow. While the Times maintains that Moon didn't meddle in daily coverage, its editorial stance on issues ranging from communism to gay marriage was rooted in, or at least compatible with, his teachings. The paper is also reliant on subsidies from Moon-founded enterprises—many of which are now in the hands of his son, Justin Moon, who doesn't share his father's passion for conservative politics. According to two Times officials, he has clamped down on funds and threatened to cut them off altogether. What's more, insiders say the elder Moon's death has created an accountability vacuum, and that some executives appear to be angling for position. "The ultimate problem, the ultimate cancer is that the owners don't care about the paper," says a senior Times official. "There's nobody watching the ship. Some people are taking advantage of this situation." All of which may help explain the chain of events that followed.
The month after Moon's death, McDevitt was promoted to chairman of the board, after which there was a shakeup at the top of the masthead and Executive Editor Ed Kelley, who was at loggerheads with Solomon, stepped down. David Jackson was later tapped to replace him, despite scant newspaper experience and a spotty recent journalistic track record. Jackson's most recent journalism job was as director of Voice of America, from 2002 to 2006, where he earned a reputation for ruthless cost cutting and pushing journalists to twist facts to fit the government line. During the bloody crescendo of the Iraq war, he reportedly went as far as barring the news department from reporting on the car bombings and terrorist attacks.
From his new perch, Jackson quickly began altering the Times's political coverage. According to The Washington Post's Erik Wemple, at one point he demanded that the paper run a story about the Benghazi affair on page A1 every day. Times insiders say he also marched into the Commentary department and began handing out assignments and floating ideas for restructuring the section—including getting rid of unsigned editorials altogether. Decker, who up until this point reported directly to the president of the company, let it be known that he had no intention of answering to Jackson, after which the paper announced that Decker had tendered his resignation, though recently departed Commentary editors insist he did no such thing.
After Decker's departure, three of his six editorial staffers stepped down without notice, including his then-deputy Anneke Green, who penned a scathing resignation letter. "The Washington Times today is the most unprofessional and dishonest organization I have ever encountered," she wrote. "I can't continue to spend the lion's share of my professional time fighting unethical practices being pushed by top leaders in the company."

Australia's top power brokers revealed
PUBLISHED: 25 Oct 2013 00:05:29 | UPDATED: 25 Oct 2013 14:51:23PUBLISHED: 25 Oct 2013 PRINT EDITION: 25 Oct 2013Portrait of a new government (left to right): Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Nationals Warren Truss, Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Treasuer Joe Hockey photographed in the Prime Minister's office on the day of their swearing in by the Governor-General.

After nearly a year – which felt like nearly a century – of political campaigning and Labor self-immolation, which needed only the lightest of fanning by the then opposition, there is a new government. Yet the swing away from Labor was not matched by the swing to the new government. The Australian polity, wagged by convoluted Senate rules, has delivered the Coalition power but also a Senate for which the term "diverse" is surely a euphemism.
In this time of political disruption, the global economy is far from benign. Having made economic management a key issue in the campaign, the government has to face the reality that it runs a client economy, where the greatest forces are overseas. Indeed, where some business sectors and their leaders wield more real power than most members of government.
"The resource companies have their heads down stripping out costs, with lower commodity prices," noted former resources minister Martin Ferguson bluntly, and it is this sort of tidal shift that carries the economy on a different course. Which means people such as BHP Billiton chief executive Andrew Mackenzie and Rio Tinto boss Sam Walsh are in the wheelhouse of the economy – wedged in with the other 800-pound gorillas, the big four banks. And, Ferguson added, the oft-overlooked LNG industry.
"The truth of the matter is that for the next two years, the real investment decisions will be LNG," he says. "That's where the next $100 billion to $200 billion dollars will come from, just like where the last $180 billion over the past 5½ years has come."
The AFR Magazine's Power Issue by definition analyses the year that was but frames it through the prism of what lies ahead. Therefore, a discussion of how Tony Abbott finally overcame a congenital inability to convince the Australian voter he's a viable leader naturally morphed into a discussion of the nature of the Parliament he will lead. The character of an Abbott government was the undercurrent to almost every discussion by this year's Power panel. Can a highly effective, destructive leader of the opposition become an effective, constructive Prime Minister? The panel was divided – and not just along party lines.
"The question will be: Opposition Leader to Prime Minister?" said former Liberal minister Warwick Smith. He added that this would also be the question for key figures in Abbott's kitchen cabinet such as Treasurer Joe Hockey and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, and in particular Abbott's omnipresent chief of staff, Peta Credlin.
Partners in time: How Joe Hockey and Peta Credlin work with Tony Abbott
"These transitions will be issues," said Smith. "John Howard found that his first chief of staff, when he came to government, had to be changed for the very reason of that adaptability. It ended up being Arthur Sinodinos." Sinodinos is now Assistant Treasurer.
Smith wondered about the "deep skills" needed to shift from stripped down, policy-lite opposition to running the country. He was confident – as was former Liberal senator Nick Minchin – that both Abbott and Credlin could do it. "When he changed gears to 'I am going to be a little bit more prime ministerial', she was able to change gears with that as well," Smith added.
Through the campaign and in the early days of government, Abbott has maintained his poise. Company director Elizabeth Johnstone said she received an email from a colleague that said "it looks like someone is handing him a Valium once an hour".
Abbott, Johnstone said, had been "just incredibly toned down, controlled". Digital entrepreneur Daniel Petre agreed: "His delivery is very, very controlled, with the appropriate number of 'ums' to let him control the next sentence."
Truth be told, this was a year in the analysis of power in Australia where scepticism, if not cynicism, was the prevailing mood. Not just in politics but in business and culture, whether it was the lack of humanity in the asylum seeker debate, misogyny in politics, drugs in sport, casual racism, or the banal disinterest of many voters.
There were, after all, three prime ministers in four months and none came close to having the kind of approval rating that spoke of trust in their leadership. The prime minister who last year barely made it to number one on the overt power list – an extraordinary development given the undisputed power of the office – appeared on the cultural power list this year courtesy of an amazingly influential speech that excoriated the man who now is Prime Minister. Julia Gillard indeed was a rare double entry on both the overt and cultural lists.
What are the potential models for Abbott's court, Fraser or early Howard? Minchin was adamant: Howard – but not too much.
"To be frank, Tony, you can understand, is trying to be his own man and keep the Howard influence at bay in a sense," Minchin said. "Tony quite obviously, and sensibly, doesn't want to be seen just as Howard-lite or a Howard protégé per se. He wants to be his own man." Howard, though, did make it on to the covert list as a key influence on Abbott along with hyper-conservative business figure Maurice Newman – who just missed the list.
Taking care of business: The influence of business adviser Maurice Newman
In times of transition and uncertainty, it is covert power that assumes greater force. The jostling behind the curtain. Meanwhile, powerful offices are able to steer more independently – away from the influence of a settled government. Hence second on the overt power list is Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens, in recognition of just how crucial the economy will be for the new government – a government that ran its campaign on promises of false certainty in economic and indeed asylum-seeker issues.
"Whether you take Lee Kuan Yew's words that politics is economics or Bill Clinton's words that 'it's the economy, stupid', it seems to me that the economy is going to dominate the next 12 months," veteran company director and panelist Mark Johnson said.
"It's dealing with those economic issues which have so far been fairly successfully obscured or obfuscated by simplicities such as 'I've got a bigger budget deficit or you've got a bigger one than me', and a lot of the other policies which have not yet emerged."
In such an environment, the role of the big banks, which mediate not only 90 per cent of loans in Australia and almost as big a proportion of deposits, as well as sourcing the offshore funding required to pay for Australia's structural current account deficit, is an underlying force.
"They are, as a group, extraordinarily important, big employers, big influences in so many different ways," Johnstone said. Pollster and panelist John Utting provided a deep perspective on the banking oligopoly.
"I think they're probably the most powerful of the lot. The consumers certainly see them as a cartel, and if you go through any kind of polling data there's overwhelming support for tougher regulations, resistance to offshoring and regular complaints about the level of CEO pay in the corporate world in general," he said. "The fact that the banks are able to withstand this level of constant criticism, I think is a real tribute to them. If any other business people had been subjected to that kind of pressure they would have folded. The fact that the banks have been out there making their case so effectively and for so long is a real tribute to their power and skill."
The Good Ship Australia: Why we need foreign investment for our economic prosperity
That vital economic challenge will not be helped by the situation in the Senate nor the reality of yet another minority government – albeit one not generally recognised as such, because the Liberals' necessary coalition with the Nationals is long-standing.
Yet there is every suggestion the Nationals will not be an economically literate partner but rather one that harks back to agrarian socialist nostalgia. Among those likely to share the balance of power from July next year are several members of the "island Australia" tribe who fail to recognise that the Australia of today was built on the immigration of people and capital and will need foreign investment if it is to address the fiscal challenge of coming years and an ageing population.
The power struggle between the government's true Liberals and its protectionists will build early, placing pressure on the low-key Nationals leader and Deputy Prime Minister, Warren Truss.
One of the first challenges for the Coalition is the takeover of grain handler GrainCorp by an American predator. "GrainCorp is sitting on the incoming Treasurer's desk. You can imagine what that's going to be like at a National Party gathering," mused former Labor resources minister Martin Ferguson.
The glooming of the exercise of power, pierced by the rising pitch of "mandate, mandate" lamentations, is in contrast to the magical thinking that a surge of confidence in the economy will come with the end of a hung parliament and its replacement by one hung between the Coalition's extremes. In the panel's view, what the situation will create is a fertile environment for the exercise of covert power as dealmaking becomes essential. Johnstone argued the covert mode had been coming to the fore over the past year, perhaps as the reality of an almost certain change of government crystalised.
"One of the things that's interesting for me is the behind-the-scenes exercise of power," she said. "There has been less exercise of power in public, the removal of the Prime Minister [Gillard], the less public stance taken by the miners, the way the bankers are trying to work their way through a situation where in some ways some members of the public might see them as having too much power."
Thus one of the most contested discussions was the role of former prime minister and capital-C conservative icon John Howard in Abbott's opposition and hence his leadership. And just who Abbott will take counsel from – especially in the business world, where it is likely he will rely on former ASX and former ABC chairman Maurice Newman.
On the covert list, Ian Watt, head of the public service and one bureaucrat with whom the Coalition is comfortable, assumes a similar importance to Reserve Bank governor Stevens. Other names, such as Mark Textor, reflect their roles in the campaign rather than the year ahead, although some, particularly Credlin, will also be crucial to an Abbott government.
The inclusion of Christopher Pyne and Howard reflect the panel's view of the Prime Minister's inner circle.
As the Abbott government feels its way to power, particularly with no policy archive and position to draw upon, the panel saw a rising role for credible lobby groups and think tanks such as the Business Council of Australia, which under chief executive Jennifer Westacott and president Tony Shepherd has regained some lost gravitas, and the centrist Grattan Institute.
There has been a change in the tides and, in such circumstances, the currents of power are much less certain. Few panelists were in doubt that next year's lists will be very different.
The AFR Magazine thanks the 11 panelists who voted on our three main lists: the overt, covert and cultural power lists. They were: Mary Vallentine, CEO, Melbourne Recital Centre; Glyn Davis, vice-chancellor, University of Melbourne; Mark Johnson, senior adviser, Gresham Partners; Elizabeth Johnstone, consultant, DLA Piper; Daniel Petre, chairman, Netus; Ralph Myers, artistic director, Belvoir St Theatre, Sydney; Martin Ferguson, former federal resources minister; John Utting, managing director Australia, UMR; Warwick Smith, senior managing director, ANZ Bank; Gabrielle Trainor, director, Barangaroo Delivery Authority; Nick Minchin, former federal finance minister.

- New physics due to zero gravity environments
- Brand-new birds and power-ups
- 60 new interstellar levels
- Enhancements regarding graphics and storyline
- We didn't find any, did you?
+ By Rovio Mobile Ltd.
Birdy hatred towards green pigs went beyond the stratosphere
Our dear Angry Birds are starting a new adventure: by now they'll have to get back their eggs from the green pigs' snouts in a zero gravity environment. The gameplay is still the same: you have to launch birds at pigs stationed on or inside various structures by using a slingshot. The goal is to destroy every single green pig on the playfield either by hitting the pigs directly or damaging the structures where they stand, which would cause them to collapse and kill them. However, in this new environment, both birds and the finger that launches them (that's you) will have to learn how to handle gravitational physics.
This new episode includes 60 new interstellar levels through 4 different Worlds (planets, actually). Moreover, you'll discover brand-new birds and power-ups which have been called to help you managing the handicaps of the gravitational field.
Same as in the previous episodes, upon completing each level, players get one, two, or three stars, depending on the score received. Players can re-attempt levels as many times as they wish, and can also replay completed levels in an attempt to improve their score at the end of the game.
Regarding graphics, Rovio has kept the essence but, at the same time, has worked on enhancing the game graphically, and that's clearly noticeable. Nothing to say about the storyline: they include amazing videos to involve the player in the birdy mood.
It's easy to predict that Angry Birds Space is going to be a success. However, we really appreciate the effort of Rovio not to get stuck and to make the game evolving, this time, even regarding physics. Must-have. You should already be downloading it.

It will not happen. He will not get any support from even his Demtards colleges.
There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period. Ted Nugent
Why don't these people just say what they want to do. People that dance around the issue and try to backdoor things just piss me off. This guy thinks we're all too stupid to own guns and live our own lives. No one should be allowed to have guns or ammo except him and his body guards.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
^^^^^What he said^^^^^!!
...and now a word about his non-violent, gun hating history: "... During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, Congressman Rush worked to secure basic civil and human rights for African Americans, women and other minorities. He was a member of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1966 to 1968. Congressman Rush also co-founded the Illinois Black Panther Party in 1968."oops!
BTW, another of his gems from '09, HR45 creates so many restrictions that the Marine Corps probably wouldn't be allowed to have guns. It goes after firearm owners, not guns. That way he can circumvent the Second Amendment. Here's an excellent read about him from Answers.com: Bobby Rush: Biography from Answers.com
I will tell you right now this bill will not pass as every LE and Military force will have to discard billions of rounds of ammunition and buy more at twice the price, that will not happen plain and simple. Lead based ammo is to woven into the forces that protect us from "evil"
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789) "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
If everybody sticks their heads in the sand and says "no way it could happen" then there's actually a good chance it could happen. That's the problem is we all need to get pro active and flood the phone lines/emails/and faxes instead of denial about it. Get off your ass and call/email/fax your representatives today! You can bet the anti gunners are calling and pressing THEIR point of view.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!

Kenneth Faried: Five memorable moments from the Nuggets's favorite Manimal
2) Talking about having two moms
In January, Faried appeared on TV in support of civil unions -- an unusual place for a professional athlete these days. But the issue has particular meaning for him, since he grew up with two moms, Waudda and Carol, who have been together for ten years and married for nearly six years. Appearing with them in a video, Faried showed more courage than he would need for the toughest basketball game: "No one can tell me I can't have two moms," he said, "because I really do."
1) This 2013 Slam Dunk Contest Dunk
Faried didn't win the slam-dunk contest on Saturday night, but he could have -- based on the pure power and grace of an off-the-glass, between-the-legs slam that he put down. It earned him a perfect score from the judges and inspired the announcer to speculate that Faried might actually be able to do the same thing in a real game.

Hello. I am new to this forum, but was impressed with the quality of the responses, so here goes....
I have a 25" Philips Magnavox CRT TV Model TR2502 C122 Serial # 18477638 (mfr'd March 1999) powered itself down the other day. No picture, no sound. When plugged in, it produces a very faint chirp/beep about every half second. There is no response to the on/off switch. I can desolder and solder. I just need to know what part(s) to buy. Thanks in advance for any help. Best wishes to all.

Hosts: Doug Sutton and John Rogers
Guests from SCV Gazette: Barbara AKA Miss Entertainment and Michelle AKA Miss Entertainment, Chris Burke, AKA Mr. Music, Chris Varner Former Head Football Coach at Canyon High School, Hans AKA Mr. Football
The Gazette Radio Hour- Friday, December 6, 2013
Doug Sutton and John Rogers began their latest addition of the Santa Clarita Gazette and Free Classified Radio Show with a very sombering, yet educational first segment. Doug had received a colonoscopy over the weekend, and actually had to remove some polyps, which were fortunately, noncancerous. With his new peace of mind, he took the opportunity this afternoon to adamantly promote getting a colonoscopy if you have colon cancer in your family, or over 50 years old because while most polyps are benign, they can turn cancerous after a few years. Colon cancer is known as a silent killer because it is very preventable, but can unfortunately take lives if ignored. After their talk on health in the rant, Doug Sutton and John Rogers brought Barbara AKA Miss Entertainment and Michelle AKA Miss Entertainment to break down all the results from Canyon Country Magazine's "Best In Canyon Country" awards, which have residents of Canyon Country vote on their favorite places to shop, eat, dine and more. After the ladies got off air, Mr. Music, also known as Chris Burke, the famed musical artist manager of several bands, and singers worldwide came on to talk about all the new and exciting events coming up. From Kenny Loggins, to B.B. King, to the Bengals, and even the Eagles – there is always something exciting in the mix with Chris Burke.

Hello, buddies
It is a open source project . I downloaded source code from online svn repo, and change the UIDs to test range. And made a self-signed SIS, but it pops "unable to install, component already built-in" while installing. It is using some plugins such like SyncML Client API plugin, SMS Utilities APIs, SW Installer Launcher APIs, Device Management Plugin APIs v.1.0. I downloaded all these plugins and make a success build but a bad installation.
It blocked me for quite a few days, though I search it on internet but make no sense. If anybody give a hand, I would be quite grateful to him/her.

Coffee Du Monde
Coffee is one of the world�s most popular drinks and has been for a number of decades now. To many people, having a morning cup of coffee is as important as taking a shower. Such is the importance and popularity of coffee in some households these days, that some people even say that is it is the fuel on which an economy runs. Besides its taste, what makes coffee hugely popular is the fact there are so many different kinds of varieties and blends of coffee. Every region has its own kind of coffee, with its own distinctive taste and features � a consequence of the different climates coffee is grown in. Many people enjoy spending time tasting various kinds of coffee and developing favorites. History In 1862, a small coffee shop opened up in New Orleans, Louisiana. The shop came to be known as Caf� Du Monde (Coffee of the World) and grew heavily in popularity as years passed by. The coffee shop became particularly famous for the exquisite coffee they served, soon developing cult status among the residents of New Orleans. As time passed, Caf� Du Monde opened up a number of new outlets in and around the United States, typically in shopping malls. The coffee that the coffee shop served eventually became so famous that they began to package and sell it separately so individuals could make it in the comfort of their homes. Buy Online It is now even possible to get your hands on a tin of the exceptional Coffee Du Monde online. Coffee Du Monde is known particularly for its dark roasted beans blended with chicory. The coffee is also available in decaf and has been touted by many individuals as the best decaf coffee available in the market.

Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
By Purple Girl
Most Helpful Positive Review
I love these shoes! They are just what I wanted and feel so good on the foot. I like the fact that they don't split my toes. I like my shoes to just slip on. These shoes are well made and are true to size. I ordered size 7 and they fit like a glove just perfect. They were on sale when I ordered them so I got a pair in every color. They go with everything. My feet were not tired after a day of shopping wearing these, like they have been before in other shoes. There not so high that you worry about twisting your foot. There very well made and feel soft to the touch. And best of all there Hush Puppies!!!
How do you most use this product?: every day wear

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. We opened for a few hours but the lure of lobster rolls grew too strong–we will re-open on Tuesday.
Here is the cutest summer look so far today: Marais shoes with a Tucker top. Not everything in the store is online so maybe we'll see you lunch hour on Tuesday! Better yet, we'll be here until 9pm on Wednesdays throughout the summer. Come on by to try some clothes on and if you're lucky you'll find an open bottle of Rosé!
Thanks Robin for being such a great model… Enjoy the clothes!

The benefits of using shared cubes
Shared cubes are not found in every data warehouse program.
Shared cubes, such as those built by an Essbase/DB2 OLAP Services or Microsoft OLAP Services are not found in every data warehouse program. The benefits of using cubes are numerous and usually it's the performance (of specific queries) that is cited as the main benefit. However, one of the lesser-cited benefits of using shared cubes is one that I've found to be among its biggest benefits.

Cubes are not just the storage format. These physical cubes are accessed through specialized access layers that can make numerous assumptions about the way in which the cube data will be accessed. This access layer is one of the biggest benefits of cubes. You can get your users up and running with fairly robust slice-and-dice and drill-down capabilities just by building a cube and pointing an OLAP Services cube interface tool such as those by Essbase (for Essbase/DB2 OLAP Services) or netExs, Cognos, Crystal Decisions or ProClarity (for Microsoft OLAP Services) at the cube.
I call cubes "hyperdimensional" since they are modeled dimensionally, yet stored with every possible combination of fact-dimension values precalculated such that random access anywhere within the cube is fast.
Consider cubes when access requirements are known to be of a single fact table and its dimensions. But don't abuse cubes, building them over 40 GB and with so many dimensions that the rebuild, which is necessary to run often, can take too long. It's easy to get carried away adding dimensions to cubes, but remember the consequences of adding dimensions -- more space requirements and more time for the rebuilds.

Fuji Fujichrome 400 (expired 1990) X-PRO
A Fuji Fujichrome 400 (expired 1990) film I shot with my Lomo LC-A (made in the USSR) on a scattered cloudy day and then cross processed. I think I just shot it with my LC-A set on 400 asa and not even 100 or something as most people recommend when using expired 400 film. My local photostore gave me the developed x-pro film for free, 'cause they said the film was blank. They didn't take a good look I guess. This is actually on of the view shots that was left on the film after cross processing it. A lot of the shots where vanished (blank). I scanned the shot with my Epson V600 on 2400 dpi, using colour correction & ice technology, restoring most of the picture that was still left on the film.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by jaasirlinger with a Lomo LC-A loaded with Fuji Fujichrome 400 film in Zoetermeer, Netherlands.

The Monroe Arts Council is holding a garage sale fundraiser on Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wagner Performing Arts Center, 639 W. Main St.
Wagner Theatre is in need of some expensive renovations and the Arts Council, which last year took over management of the theater, are counting on fellow theater lovers to help them help the venue. On the theater wish list are new seats, updated restrooms and a new sound system.
Among the items to be sold at the garage sale are theater treasures recovered during clean-up when Sky Performing Arts took charge of the arts center. Don't forget to look for locally-made baked goods for sale.
The fundraiser will include donations from members of the community, a display board of renovations needed and opportunities for you to pledge toward achieving those goals.
Thanks to increased ticket sales this year, Sky Performing Arts will revive the Southern Revival musical "Smoke On the Mountain" this spring.
If you would like to donate to this community event bring your items to Wagner Performing Arts Center, 639 W. Main St., during the week.

Welcome back to my tour of The Butchart Gardens. The post is titled the Rose Garden, which is where we will eventually end up, but first we need to go through some truly magnificent pathways as we traverse the concert lawn and the fireworks lawn. These lawns are used for all sort of festivities that are held periodically in the gardens.
The Concert and Fireworks Lawns
As we head straight from the Sunken Garden we first arrive at the concert lawn. Numerous concerts are held here in Summer from 1st July till the Canadian Labour Day. In Winter, Christmas festivities are also prominent here.
Totem Poles split the lawns in two separating the distinct areas. These two creations were added to the gardens to mark the 100th anniversary.
Butchart Gardens Totem Poles |
Butchart Gardens Totem Poles |
As we walk past the totem poles we come to the fireworks lawn. As the name suggests, this is a place for fireworks. Firework shows have started here in 1977, and have been a Summer staple ever since. Nowadays shows are even more spectacular with light shows choreographed to music.
The Fireworks Lawn |
As we walk around the concert and fireworks lawns there are some truly beautiful passages that lead on to the Rose Garden. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Plaque Reads: Coast Redwood Sequoia Sempervirens - Planted 1934 |
The Rose Garden
Here we are at the rose garden. The scent can be smelled before you get to the actual spot. The rose garden is simply a circular lawn surrounded by rose bushes of all species and colors. It is a small garden but it is a sight not to be missed, or smelled!
The circular rose garden |
Some Beautiful Blooms |
Love the color of this rose |
Butchart Gardens Rose Garden Well |
As we come round full circle, another passage takes us along a path that veers to the right. A glorious fountain appears. The Sturgeon Fountain. (Guess what's in the middle!).
The Sturgeon Fountain |
This fountain takes us to the gateway of another magnificent garden, the Japanese Garden. That is another post however. I hope you enjoyed this part of the trip, and will join me next time as we visit some more beautiful scenery at Butchart Gardens.

What sort of attitude is that to tempt new users to Gentoo, or anyone for that matter. Surely the installer should be aiming to make installation not just easier but also easier and better than the rest. Otherwise what's the point? If that's your attitude you might as well not bothered with the installer and just told everyone to read the manual instead!! I think Norman has a valid point and your answer doesn't do his question justice.

There's A Million Bucks With Your Name On It If You Can Beat The 'Black Widow Of Eating Contests' At Her Own Game
By Bess LevinPerhaps you've competed in on the job eating challenges before, maybe even successfully. A few Double Downs here, a couple of vending machine items there. Probably felt pretty good about yourself, too. "I can shovel food down my mouth like a pro," you might have said to a colleague who was equally impressed by your feats of gastrointestinal fortitude, right? WRONG. You have zero reason to be cocky about your so-called binge-eating abilities, according to Sonya Thomas, AKA the Black Widow. Read more »

Rolls-Royce secures multi-million pound propulsion contract
Tuesday, 6 May 2014
Rolls-Royce has signed contracts with China Oilfield Services Ltd. (COSL), worth £19m. Rolls-Royce will deliver propulsion equipment for two deep-sea research vessels and one seismic vessel.
All three vessels are designed by the Norwegian design firm Skipsteknisk. The deep sea research vessels (ST 259) will each have six engines, two main azimuth thrusters, two retractable thrusters, two tunnel thrusters and remote control systems from Rolls-Royce. The ST 318 design seismic vessel will be equipped with four engines, rudders and steering gear from Rolls-Royce.
John Knudsen, Rolls-Royce, President Offshore, said: "We have successfully delivered several ship equipment and integrated design and equipment packages to COSL and their attention to safety and efficient operations aligns with Rolls-Royce principles and products. We are delighted that they have chosen our technology for their three new vessels and look forward to continuing our relationship with them."
The research vessels are to be built at CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard for delivery respectively in the first and second half of 2016, while the seismic vessel will be built at Shanghang Shipyard for delivery in the second half of 2015.
Specified deliveries:
Per ST 259 Deep sea research vessel:
6 x B32:40L6A diesel generating sets
2 x US 60 main azimuth thrusters
2 x UL 255 retractable thrusters
2 x TT 2650 tunnel thrusters
Helicon X3 remote control system
ST 318 Seismic vessel:
4 x C 25:33L6A diesel generating sets
2 x SR662-FCP steering gear
2 x FB 2330x3500
- Rolls-Royce's vision is to create better power for a changing world via two main business segments, Aerospace and Marine & Industrial Power Systems (MIPS). These business segments address markets with two strong technology platforms, gas turbines and reciprocating engines, for use on land, at sea and in the air.
- Aerospace comprises Civil Aerospace and Defence Aerospace. MIPS comprises Marine, Energy & Nuclear and Power Systems (RRPS). On 7 March 2014, Daimler announced their intention to exercise their option to sell their 50% share in RRPS to Rolls-Royce Holdings plc. On 16 April 2014, Rolls-Royce and Daimler announced that they have agreed the valuation of Daimler's 50% equity interest. The transaction is expected to complete within the coming months and is subject to the usual regulatory approvals.
- Rolls-Royce has customers in more than 120 countries, comprising more than 380 airlines and leasing customers, 160 armed forces, 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and 1,600 energy and nuclear customers.
- Our business is focused on the 4Cs:
- Customer - placing the customer at the heart of our business
- Concentration - deciding where to grow and where not to
- Cost - continually looking to increase efficiency
- Cash - improving financial performance.
- Annual underlying revenue was £15.5 billion in 2013, around half of which came from the provision of aftermarket services. The firm and announced order book stood at £71.6 billion at 31 December 2013.
- In 2013, Rolls-Royce invested £1.1 billion on research and development. We also support a global network of 31 University Technology Centres, which position Rolls-Royce engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 55,000 people in 45 countries. Over 17,000 of these are engineers.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills. In 2013 we employed 379 graduates and 288 apprentices through our worldwide training programmes.

With over 10,000 square feet of open deck space on the Wind Star and Wind Spirit, and over 22,000 square feet on the Wind Surf, guests will find hidden nooks for private moments giving them a feeling of being on their own private verandah. The Wind Spirit sails with just 148 pampered guests in 74 total staterooms: 73 deluxe, ocean-view staterooms and 1 deluxe Owner's Suite with queen beds and a dining/sitting area.

From your made-to-order omelet on deck to your candle lit dinner under a star-filled sky, the cuisine is as spectacular as the setting. Add the elegant informality of open seating to world-class menus, superior wine list, and impeccable attention to your personal palate. Every meal is a memory.
Windstar's small sailing yachts will take you where others can't. Often, it's because others can't reach these charming ports and secret coves. And sometimes it's because these are places known only to yachtsmen – and now, to you.

Andrew Barrow doesn't recommend drinking wine underwater
I wouldn't describe myself as dynamic, interesting, exciting, gregarious, funny, clever, talented, dog lover… what's the opposite of sarcastic?
What wasn't the reason you became interested in wine?
What a dumb-arse question. Its WINE! What's not to be interesting? Ok, Ok… I didn't become interested in wine for the money, the fame, the fun, the travel opportunities.. although a couple of these have come to pass…
How wouldn't you describe your hugely popular blog Spittoon?
Serious, insular, preaching, narrow – as I say in reply to the question below – there is more to wine than just some alcoholic liquid in a bottle. This is exactly what Spittoon is all about. Started in 2004 it and its siblings has morphed into showcasing my exploration of the whole wine sphere. Yes there are tasting notes, yes there are food pairing ideas and restaurant reviews and all the other 'normal' wine blog stuff but increasingly there is a wider exploration of 'wine' – travel, (wine tourism is a growing area), art (take a look at the amazing video posted recently, sent to me from Italy). The internet is such a visual medium… and explains perhaps my growing obsession with photography. Over the years my perception and enjoyment of wine, of food, of other cultures has increased amazingly and spawned enjoyment in travel (love a train trip, me), in cooking (well I try) and good food (whether Michelin starred or homely, country fare) in addition to photography. I'd love to feature more work from other 'artists' and content creators…
What regions of the world don't get enough recognition for their wine?
In the UK you can source pretty much any wine from any region – up to a point. Many of those 'cult' Californian wines never make it over here (and if they do they are stupidly expensive) and the more interesting, smaller producers from Australia and New Zealand, are not seen much either. But even wines from such unlikely wine producing countries as Turkey (was there in late 2012) with hard-to-pronounce but unique grape varieties and China (quality issues aside) can be found in the UK. This is what makes the subject so exciting; there is always something new to discover, a new destination to explore, a new producer to revel in, a new grape variety to experience, a fresh taste sensation, a new food/wine pairing to enjoy and so on. There is more to wine than just some alcoholic liquid in a bottle.
What doesn't make for good wine?
Here is where the snobbery can rear its tentacles… much is slated about the mass produced, the big brands, the 'industrial' sized production of wine, especially from Chile, Australia and America. These products are slated as being the very epitome of bad wine…. OK, so once you get 'into' wine you will come to appreciate more subtly than these wines offer and revel in finding and supporting smaller producers, and find that these wines are indeed lacking in interest, are over sweet and so on. But it is these very same wines, the approachable, the affordable and the easily accessible that first get people interested in the subject. And they do have their place. And sell in vast numbers because people enjoy them! A bottle of Aussie big brand red graced my table recently and washed down a pulled pork sandwich dripping in barbeque sauce very nicely…
How shouldn't people drink wine?
I don't advocate drinking wine under water. I mean, all that salty infill will simply ruin the flavour. If you are at home and drinking wine underwater then I surmise that you are probably drowning in the bath… drinking wine, in fact drinking anything, while on a bouncy castle probably isn't such a good idea either. And drinking bubbly out of those coupe glasses seems downright daft to me (Marie Antoinette must have had very strange boobs…)
And I don't advocate drinking on your own… well not more than a glass or two… for wine should be shared with friends; old friends especially but it does cement new friendships beautifully. Not that I am advocating jumping out the front door and kidnapping the first dog-walker that ambles past… but I've met some fun, interesting and fabulous people over a bottle (some were even American… and owned dogs!). Met some idiots, pompous arses and twats too mind…
What don't you like about the wine world?
I'll tell you what I don't like. I really don't like the connotation that if you enjoy wine – and perhaps even know a little about it – that you are a snob. Why is there also so much 'seriousness' about wine? I blame the French… wine should be fun! I also dislike the majority of the dross served as wine in most UK pubs (which explains why, unless it's a wine bar, I drink beer in the pub…)
Final question – if you were to be sent to a desert island and could only bring three things, what wouldn't they be?
I wouldn't bring a dog – smelly, yappy, horrid things. A jar of everlasting peanut butter wouldn't be high on my list either (quite possibly the most hideous, mouth-clagging, food stuff ever invented after squirty cream) and I wouldn't relish handling a double baby buggy across the sand dunes either… not occupied anyway… babies – smelly, yappy, horrid things…
Many thanks to Andrew for participating in our anti-interview. Enjoy more of his insights at Spittoon

Got ahold of these.. but they were advertised as both mini sweet pepper and habanero.. i bit into one.. and green one had mild heat.. orange one first bite had no heat but next bite did.. like intermittent spots of heat?? and they smell sweet??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
They look a bit strange for Habs but not too bad. If you eat the white stuff inside the pepper, it will be lots hotter than the actual pepper flesh. That might be the difference. But unless you are a "hot pepper eater", the habanero would probably be more than you can handle. Even the flesh. Bruce |
hehe.. it was spicy though.. definitely not that hot. a jalape�o is definitely hotter.. maybe it COULD be a aji dulce from venezuela? i have heard they ahve spice?? |

Thanks to Jarred for a great interview with Don Dorsey. As a composer it was great to listen to his insights. Also the seqment with Lou, Matt and Jonathan was too funny. Really enjoyed it and I'm not even a big Star Wars Fan.
Welcome back to The WDW Radio Show Your Walt Disney World information Station, hosted by Lou Mongello. Thanks for tuning in once again. This is Show #15 for the week of May 20, 2007.
With the popular Star Wars Weekends events at the Disney-MGM Studios rapidly approaching, I am joined this week by two Disney fans who share a love for Star Wars as well: Matt Hochberg and Jonathan Dichter, who come to to discuss the special events, celebrities, characters and merchandise, as well as planning for the weekend and tips for making the most out of the event.
Listener Jarred Matthes was able to obtain an exclusive interview with Don Dorsey, creator of such musical events in Walt Disney World as the Main Street Electrical Parade and Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.
I received a phone call from Margaret Tinker Bell Kerry, who will be on board the Disney Magic with me this November for our Trivia Cruise. She'll join me on the show to invite you to come aboard with us, talk about some of the events she and I have planned for the cruise and more.
Thank you again for tuning in, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio show!
Be sure to view this week's complete show notes page.

Thanks for listening! Be sure to tune in next week to the WDW Radio Show Disney podcast!
Love the show as always but this one was just fab as I'm preparing myself for SWW next weekend!! That segment was so enjoyable. thanks again you crazy bunch!
Matt, Lou, and Jonathan are funny enough when sharing a phone call to create a pod cast. How hilarious would they be in the same room? Great show!
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
Loved the show, and enjoyed hearing about Star Wars Weekends. Went to SWW in '05 and loved it!
It's a good thing!
Another great show, Lou and gang!
The SWW discussion was hilarious. After all these years of going to the parks, I still learned something new.
Jarred's interview was fantastic. I plan to download and listen to the entire interview. Thanks Jarred!!
And Margaret Kerry's call has me wishing I could go on that cruise.
Keep it up, Lou! We'll keep listening.
OK, I give up. I looked for the "full version" of the Dorsey interview but couldn't find it - can someone point me to it? Thanks!
I've also been looking for the full Dorsey interview in the Downloads section...I second obxshark's request for help
My apologies - Jarred is away (guess where? LOL), and will send me the full version as soon as he returns. Glad you enjoyed it!!

i spelt large wrong....
Posted 15 September 2010 - 07:13 AM
Following is a suggestion from someone who is an avid ebay buyer/seller in case this does not sell. You could split the sets up in blocks like this:
# Sets (# of auctions)
x1 Core (3 auctions)
x1 Madness + Summons + Dreamlands blocks (1 auction)
x1 Madness + Summons blocks (2 auctions)
x1 Sleep of the Dead (2 auctions, or combo these in with the auction right above this as a bonus)
x1 Yuggoth block (1 auction)
Right now it is a bit pricey and I cannot see anyone but a totally new player being interested. If you use the above spread you could demand a bit higher premium for the auctions that include the Madness blocks to balance out selling the new APs on the cheap. I wish you luck and hope you get the $250 you are asking, but if all else fails consider this selling strategy as an option.
Posted 15 September 2010 - 07:46 PM
thanks alot! ill do that if it does not work
Posted 15 September 2010 - 09:36 PM
First and foremost I'd like to say it's truly sad that your life has come to a moment where you must sell something you hold dear, but the choice was yours to make, you made it, nothing more to it. I'm a new player on Cthulhu, but I did get some items already, which means I won't be bidding on something as large (besides, the money is very tight right now).
I truly hope you get to sell everything for a good price, but in case you do decide to change it into blocks, I would more than happy to (try and) purchase the Madness and the Summons block.
Happy selling
Posted 16 September 2010 - 02:38 PM
You may want to change this in your ebay ad:
"i reserve the right to reject a bid and or take any bid that is offered. so dont try to low ball. it is best you bid what you are willing to pay because im going to take the first bid i deem worth max value as this is well worth over 400 dollars and everything is in mint"
I think the copy paste from BGG failed.
You can reject anyones bid on ebay that you want but this statement seems unecessarily hostile in the Ebay environment where you have already made low bids impossible. Considering your starting bid is $250, I wouldn't reject anyone's bid at that point.
Posted 25 September 2010 - 06:48 AM
I have been watching your ebay auction and I want to congrdulate you on selling the lot above the Buy it Now price. I honestly though nobody was ging to bid but those last few hours proved fruitful and you were able to unload it all at once. Sorry you have to leave the game but props on going out with the biggest bang for the buck!!!

I kind of posted this topic once before - about what player aids you use to help keep you and your players thinking like 10 year olds. With renewed action on this board I would like to expand that a bit and ask What player aids do you use, period? Any pictures, music, items, etc? In other words, anything besides the book, paper, pencils and dice?
I for one give my players homework. It is dreaded but well received. If they do the homework i give them a 5-6 Boost for the following session. Examples have been - Come up with an example from TV or cinema of a character that fits your own Grimm character's archetype, bring a snack food to the next game that was your favorite when you were 10 years old, and (when the were going to the Land of Fear) decide what your character's greatest fear is.
I frequently look for pictures on the Net that I can show on the big screen when the players encounter them - different castles that they encounter, pictures of creatures/monsters they encounter (like bridge trolls, for instance) or spooky shots of creepy forests. This is how i ran across the fabulous pictures of Gary Busey as the GingerDead Man.
I made a storyteller screen with pictures from the Grimm book facing the players. I also have a horror theme track playing in the background as we play (Midnight Syndicate)
I would love to hear anything that the rest of you do.
