Running for school board is a bit of different than running for other local offices. Campaign spending is generally less, and the time for campaigning is generally limited to a few weeks before election day.
Year after year, education is ranked as a top voter concern, yet voter turnout rates for school board elections remain low. One major reason for the low level of voter turnout is that school elections often occur on dates that differ from general elections. Some advocates have suggested combining school board, board of education and school budget elections with other local and state elections that generally have a higher turnout rate.
Because of the unique situation of these elections, the winner often becomes the person who can get more people to the polls. That requires getting your supporters motivated enough to go out on that odd day and actually cast a vote.

Former Prince George's County Police Officer Pleads Guilty in Extortion Scheme Involving the Distribution of Untaxed Cigarettes
Greenbelt, Maryland - Former Prince George's County Police officer Chong Chen Kim, age 43, of Odenton, Maryland pleaded guilty today to conspiring with others, including a public official, to commit extortion in connection with a scheme involving the transport and distribution of untaxed cigarettes; and to possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Acting Special Agent in Jeannine A. Hammett of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Washington, D.C. Field Office.
"The focus on cigarette smuggling is one of several initiatives that the IRS is partnering with local other federal agencies to combat," said IRS Special Agent in Charge Jeannine A. Hammett. "The state revenue loss in taxes is substantial especially in these tough economic times."
According to his plea agreement, Kim had been a Prince George's Police officer for 16 years and was employed as an officer during the conspiracy. Between July 2009 and January 2010, Kim conspired with Chun "Eddy" Chen, who owned a carry-out store in Maryland, Amir Miljkovic, who owned a business called Prestige Auto Glass in College Park, Maryland, former Prince George's County police officer Richard Delabrer, and others, to transport and distribute untaxed cigarettes and alcohol in Maryland, Virginia and elsewhere, in exchange for money. The conspirators paid Prince George's County Police officers, including Delabrer and Kim, to use their official authority to ensure the safe transport and distribution of the untaxed cigarettes in Maryland and Virginia.
By July 2009, Delabrer and Miljkovic began purchasing contraband cigarettes from an undercover agent in Virginia, then selling them to Kim and Chen. Under applicable state law Virginia imposes a $0.30 sales tax on each pack of cigarettes and Maryland imposes a $2 sales tax per pack. Kim and Chen, in turn sold the contraband cigarettes to persons in New York where local taxes on cigarettes exceed $8 per pack.
To obtain the contraband, Miljkovic and Delabrer traveled to Virginia to pick up a rented truck, which had been loaded with the cigarettes by the undercover agent, and drove the loads to a storage unit in Maryland obtained by Kim. During at least one of these transactions, Kim assisted in the off-loading of the materials at his storage facility, dressed in his official PGCPD uniform, armed with his service weapon, and driving a marked PGCPD vehicle. During the conspiracy, Delabrer enlisted the assistance of Jose Moreno, a self-employed body shop mechanic in Northern Virginia, who drove the truck from Virginia to Maryland and assisted in unloading and storing the contraband.
The conspirators conducted at least 33 illicit transactions with the undercover agent involving the sale of contraband cigarettes. Kim was involved in all but one of the transactions. The first cigarette transaction on July 23, 2009 involved a shipment of 14 master cases, each containing at least 12,000 cigarettes. The largest shipment, on November 6, 2009, involved 160 master cases. Altogether, Kim and his co-conspirators paid the undercover agent $1,770,230 for 1,420 master cases of contraband cigarettes, for a total of more than 17 million contraband cigarettes. The tax loss attributable to Kim relating to the illegal cigarette trafficking is $2,661,240.
Kim faces a maximum penalty for the extortion conspiracy of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and a mandatory five years in prison and up to life in prison, consecutive to any other sentence imposed, for possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Kim has also agreed to the entry of an order of forfeiture in the amount of $2,661,240. U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte scheduled sentencing for Kim on December 9, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.
Conspirators Richard Delabrer, age 46, of Laurel, Maryland; Amir Miljkovic, age 39, and "Eddy" Chen, age 34, both of Bowie, Maryland; and Jose Moreno, age 50, of Alexandria, Virginia, pleaded guilty to their participation in the extortion conspiracy. Each faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Delabrer also faces a mandatory minimum of five years, and up to life, for possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. No sentencing date has been set for Delabrer, Miljkovic or Chen.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the FBI and IRS for their work in these investigations. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys James A. Crowell IV, A. David Copperthite and Sujit Raman, who are prosecuting the cases.
Mr. Rosenstein, Mr. McFeely and Ms. Hammett expressed their appreciation to Prince George's County Police Chief Mark Magaw for the assistance that he and his department provided.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 1/29/2003
No surprise, then, that the new model hews to the same lucrative path. Predictably, the new version is larger, stiffer, and heavier. Good thing the V-6 engine has been enlarged from 3.0 liters to 3.3 (hence the name change) and has been imbued with an additional 10 horsepower and 20 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to enable both the front-wheel-drive and the all-wheel-drive RX330 to snap off sub-eight-second 0-to-60-mph times, which, Lexus says, makes the RX330 quicker than the Acura MDX, the BMW X5 3.0i, the Mercedes-Benz ML320, and the Volvo XC90, its major competitors. It also returns a commendable 18 mpg in the city. But although the RX330 steps lively off the line and now packs an additional gear in its automatic transmission, we still wished for greater urgency in passing maneuvers.
Besides the larger engine and the five-speed automatic, another powertrain upgrade is the redesigned (optional) all-wheel-drive system, which has a center differential that splits torque 50/50 front to rear and then uses the Vehicle Skid Control sensors to send torque across an axle in the case of wheelspin. New this year is an available air suspension, which can raise the RX 1.2 inches or lower it by as much as 0.6 inch on the go or 1.2 inches at a stop. The air suspension is also supposed to be firmer than the soft-riding standard setup, but we didn't feel a dramatic difference. Suffice it to say, the RX330 is too dedicated to the plush-riding Lexus idealeven when rolling on its optional eighteen-inch wheelsto mount a serious challenge to the X5. Likewise, the steering is fine for straight ahead, but there's no buildup of effort as you turn the wheel. We were impressed, however, with the RX330's tightened turning circle.
Perhaps our expectations of sportiness were falsely raised by the RX330's new sloped roofline, which is the car's biggest departure from its predecessor. The slant-back profile exacts a minor penalty in cargo space with the rear seats in place (38.3 cubic feet are now on hand), but maximum cargo volume is increased to nearly 85 cubic feet. More important, people space remains generous, albeit only for five as Lexus has resisted the urge to stuff in a third seat. (Lexus SUV shoppers looking for one are ushered over to the GX470.) The front chairs are certainly comfortable, but in the rear, although there is headroom and legroom galore, we would have liked a higher seat cushion.
No complaints, however, about the design or quality of the interior, which is now fully the equal of any car in the Lexus line. The new dash loses the bizarre jutting pod that housed the gearshift; the center console not only scoots backward to make room for a lady's (or, we suppose, a European man's) purse but also boastsyeslighted cup holders. For even greater luxury, buyers are invited to gorge themselves at the options buffet, where new temptations include a huge three-panel glass sunroof, laser-based adaptive cruise control, high-intensity-discharge headlamps that turn with the front wheels, a power liftgate, a rear-view camera, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and a Mark Levinson stereo. The amazing part is that despite all this, a hopelessly self-indulgent RX330 buyer won't spend more than $45,000. (The base price is likely to remain close to the outgoing car's $35,000.)
The RX330 delivers everything the original did and adds a good deal more luxury. Despite a herd of imitators, we predict its popularity will be undiminished.

November has been kind to us. So far this month we've had Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Halo 4, both of which were well received critically and are on their way to making and breaking records. On the horizon is Hitman: Absolution, Epic Mickey 2, new Mass Effect 3 DLC and plenty more to keep our wallets empty and thumbs moving.
But before we move on to the next big thing let's look back at October, which was packed with an impressively varied line-up of games.
The triple A contingent was represented with Assassin's Creed 3, Dishonored, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and a handful of other equally high-profile releases. Dennaton Games made waves with a blood-soaked, acid trip of a top down action game Hotline Miami, while Giant Sparrow's beautiful debut, The Unfinished Swan, further cemented Sony's PSN as a platform for the weird and wonderful.
But how did CVG readers rate October's releases? Last month we solicited our community to stamp their own scores on the games of the month and below are the results so far.
Despite being the newest of the bunch, readers seem to have taken quite a liking to Assassin's Creed 3, which placed at the top of the rankings, followed by fellow stab-happy stealth game Dishonored. Last month's talk of the town XCOM: Enemy Unknown placed third, with Telltale's superb take on The Walking Dead following it.
Here are the full rankings:
CVG readers' top reviewed games, October 2012
- Assassin's Creed 3 (8.0)
- Dishonored (7.7)
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown (7.4)
- The Walking Dead: Episode 4 (7.0)
- Assassins Creed 3: Liberation (6.5)
- Forza Horizon (6.4)
- The Unfinished Swan (5.8)
- Pokémon Black & White Version 2 (5.5)
- Resident Evil 6 (5.0)
- Hotline Miami (4.9)

Crowded and we had to wait for our pre-reserved table. We had the shared menu, the starters were very good, but the vegetarian main was bland. Restaurant is very noisy and you sit very close to other diners. Don't go if you want a quiet place to talk...

The food was colourless and overall unappetising.
The service was at best, rudimentary with little communication and overall glum attitude.
We were a group of six, and they decided to seat us downstairs, right at the back corner of the room. We were the last in the room of about four other tables to leave.
Two separate groups of staff sat at nearby tables and ate their staff meals whilst we were eating at the table next to them. Of course, I understand that the staff must eat at some point during the evening, but don't the management think what this must look like to their customers. Also, I felt that this put some pressure on us to 'hurry up and get out of here'!
And then, for the last approximately 15-20 mins, two other members of staff proceeded to start stacking up chairs to our immediate right, packing away for the night. Terrible service, and made us feel very uncomfortable, like WE were inconveniencing THEM. And we still had not fully finished our meal!

6 of us ate here on a Friday night recently & had a good if not wonderful experience. The food I would say is fair for its type - we shared our traditional starters which were much of a muchness and I followed with a lamb dish which was better. The portions are fairly generous and the staff were cooperative about keeping bread and olives topped up.
Service was not at all bad - a bit chaotic with at least 3 or 4 staff serving us at various times but overall it was ok.
The venue itself is a little cramped but has character although they need to monitor the music volume - at one point even though we were miles away from the speakers we were having to speak loudly to make ourselves heard.
Price was about GBP25-30 for shared starters, main, coffee & a couple of drinks. I was happy paying these prices but would be reluctant to pay any more.
Overall an unremarkable but pleasant eating out experience. Would I go back, yes, but would I seek it out specifically, probably not.

Lovely food and location. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere there until my last visit.
On my last visit few days ago me and my friend ordered drinks for the table we were chatting to. The waitress came back after few minutes and told us that Manager will not allow to do it, and left the drinks on our table. The waitress was nice and friendly.
If one decides to buy a drink to the table he is chatting to it must be delivered without saying "We don't do that".
Yesterday I and few of my friends went there for a diner and when we sat on the table Manager said that he would not serve any drinks to our table. We decided to leave straight away.
It is absolute disgrace that such a lovely place is run by unprofessional Managers. Managers really need to acquire customer service skills, need to smile and learn some professional ethics.

We were up at 4:15 AM, arrived at the airport at 5 for our 6 AM departure from Savannah. At about 5:45 AM I get an alert on my cell phone from United Airlines indicated the flight would now depart at 6:40 AM. The gate agent had said we would be 10 minutes late waiting for the flight crew to arrive.
The 6:40 departure would mis-connect with our flight from Dulles to Westchester County so I headed up to the gate and informed the gate agent of my recent phone alert from her company. She had not bee notified yet. Once she got notification she proceeded to offer us a flight on US Scareways into Westchester arriving at 12:30. I opted for a United flight into LaGuardia that would arrive at 1:50PM figuring it would take me that long to get back into New York from White Plains. Katy is not much for train rides. In addition, if we flew Scareways there was the possibility that I would not get credit on the double EQM promotion.
The flight finally left Savannah at about 7:30 AM and upon arrival in Washington, we headed to the lounge for breakfast and reading the morning papers.
The flight left the gate from Dulles on time and we headed out to the active runway only to stop short for the dreaded Air Traffic Delay. Our 12:20 PM departure finally took off at 1:30 PM after sitting on the hot tarmac for 1 hour and ten minutes.
Here are my questions:
If the crew was late arriving last night into Savannah, and they know that they need a full 8 hour rest before flying the next day, why don't they report that on arrival that evening and give the gate agents and computers more time to re-book us that are going to miss our connections in the morning?
And how is it possible on a bluebird sunny day in both New York and Washington that Air Traffic Control has to hold a flight for 1 hours and 10 minutes before take off?
I thought the capacity was down, fewer flights were being flown, schedules shifted around to prevent this and there were 41 million less airline trips taken so far this year than last?
As Katy pointed out while sitting on the tarmac, we have been travelling 9 hours and had traveled all of 515 miles. Our day is still not done.

Of Land and Sky mines the landscape of Cambodian myth and pop culture, recasting a tragic history of politically defiant romance into the bodies of gay men. The work explores a bending and minimalization of Cambodian classical dance, weaving it with theater and video, music and sound.

Read the full, comprehensive report: Profile: Jewish Voice for Peace (PDF).
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has emerged as the leading Jewish anti-Zionist group in the United States, working to steer public support away from Israel and convince the American public that opposition to the Jewish state is not anti-Semitic.
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which has become the most oft-used tactic by the domestic anti-Israel movement in recent years, is heavily championed by JVP. The group's ongoing BDS initiative, called "We Divest," targets TIAA-CREF, a major financial services organization. JVP activists have also supported a variety of divestment resolutions considered by university student governments and mainline churches, including the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches.
JVP intentionally exploits Jewish culture and rituals in its advocacy to reassure its own supporters that opposition to Israel not only does not contradict, but is actually consistent with, Jewish values. Its "Rabbinical Council" even published a Passover Haggadah in the spring of 2012 that dedicated one of the traditional cups of wine to BDS (the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement) and added an olive to the Seder plate in honor of the Palestinian struggle.
JVP also uses its Jewish identity to shield the anti-Israel movement from allegations of anti-Semitism and provide the movement with a veneer of legitimacy. On its Web site, JVP recognizes its role as such, noting that the group's Jewish nature gives it a "particular legitimacy in voicing an alternative view of American and Israeli actions and policies" and the ability to distinguish "between real anti-Semitism and the cynical manipulation of that issue."
The group's positions on BDS, its willingness to partner with anti-Israel organizations that deny Israel's right to exist and legitimize terror, and its refusal to support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, demonstrate JVP's hardline stance.
In fact, JVP consistently co-sponsors rallies to oppose Israeli military policy that are marked by signs and slogans comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, demonizing Jews and voicing support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. JVP has never condemned or sought to distance itself from these messages. Indeed, JVP's Executive Director Rebecca Vilkomerson recently gave an interview to American Free Press, a conspiracy-oriented anti-Semitic newspaper.
In the past four years, JVP has significantly expanded and is now a national organization with 30 chapters across the country, including a handful on college campuses, and claims more than 100,000 supporters across the country. JVP's success in this area is aided by its embrace of online marketing tools and its strong presence on social networking sites.
The group has nearly 30,000 "likes" on Facebook and 9,000 followers on Twitter. Not surprisingly, this increased support has translated into additional dollars. In the past few years, JVP has reportedly averaged approximately $300,000 in annual contributions.
Jewish Voice for Peace's hardline stance is demonstrated by its positions on BDS, willingness to partner with anti-Israel organizations that deny Israel's right to exist and legitimize terror, and its refusal to support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Last week I blogged about the new layout in Google Webmaster Tools (GWT). The post covered all the main reports we regularly use and where they can be found in the newly-launched menu headings.
However, one thing I didn't cover (and something I went to use this morning), is the option for telling Google the geographic target for your website, sub domain or sub folder.
The option to do this used to be in a settings menu which could be found in the left-hand menu of your site in GWT. On the new menus which were launched earlier this month, however, this menu option has been removed – making it less obvious where to find the options for setting a geographic target for your site.
Now, this menu can be found in the 'Settings' option which can is on the cog icon in the top right hand side of GWT, as shown below.
This menu actually covers a number of things and not just the option to set the geographic target.
The 'Site Settings' option from this menu lets you see the preferred domain for the site as well as the crawl rate (which I'd not recommend that you change) and the preferred domain for your site. The options from this menu are shown below:
When setting the geographic target for your site, there are some things you need to take into account.
Firstly if you have a country specific domain name (ccTLD) such as a .co.uk like the Vertical Leap site, Google will have already specified a geographic location for your site. Google's assumption here is that if you have a .co.uk, you are a UK-focussed business. Likewise, if you have a .fr or .de address, you are targeting France or Germany respectively. In these cases no changes are needed.
This does mean that if you have a .de domain and you want to target people in the US then you won't be able to do this in the GWT settings, however. So, if you have this kind of target it might be worth making sure that you have a non-country specific domain name.
If you have a non-specific country domain name such as .com or .net, then you can use this tool to choose your target country from a drop down list of available countries. The screen shot below shows a website which is a .com and has been set to target users in the UK.
This is really useful to help with making sure your site listings appear in the right version of Google. It can also be used if you have a sub domain or sub folder structure that serves content for different locations. For example if your main domain is www.yoursite.com and you have a sub domain for the German market, de.yoursite.com, you can register this sub domain in GWT and tell Google that it is for the German market. The same can be done if your German content is hosted as www.yoursite.com/de.
Let's take a quick look at the other settings available in the cog menu
Webmaster Tools Preferences
This option allows you to set up your preferred language for Google to send you messages. It also allows you to set up email forwarding which will ensure messages from Google are sent through to your email address and you don't miss anything.
This is a universal setting which relates to your account and not a specific website.
Change of Address
If you have changed your website address, you can register your new website URL in GWT and then in the old site tell Google that your site has moved to this new address.
This will allow you to transfer across the rankings and history from one site to another in Google and let the search engine know that your site has moved. 301 redirects will still be needed.
To do this you need to be a site owner and not a user added to the account by someone else.
Google Analytics Property
This option allows you to set up the connection between the GWT Search Query Data and your Google Analytics account, which means that you can see this search query data in Analytics as well.
Again, this option is only available to site owners and not people who have been added to the account, even if they have full permissions in GWT
Users and Site Owners
This option is also only visible to site owners and allows you to see a list of the email addresses which have access to your GWT site. Using this menu, you can add a new user to the GWT for the website in the same way you can do this from the homepage of GWT
Verification Details
This shows you the history of people who have verified the site as site owners and the verification method they have used, such as a Google Analytics account or file upload.
This menu allows you to see the connection between your website and a Google+ page. You can also add Associate users here too.
An Associate user is a person who can act on behalf of your site. This doesn't give them access to your GWT data, but does allow them to do things on sites such as Google+ and YouTube on behalf of the website.
Hopefully, this overview will help you manage your site in Google Webmaster Tools.

On Thursday, Olympic inspiration and Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius was charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, a popular South African model and actress. According to police she was shot four times in the early hours of the morning inside the sprinter's home, in a gated community in Pretoria.
Despite earlier reports suggesting that Pistorious, who is known as Blade Runner for his high-tech artificial legs, mistook Steenkamp for a burglar, police do not believe the shooting to be accidental based on witnesses interviewed at the scene of the early morning shootout and "past allegations of a domestic nature."
According to police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes:
Yes there are witnesses and there have also been interviews this morning. We are talking about neighbors and people that heard things that happened earlier in the evening and when the shooting took place. It would be very premature and very irresponsible of me to say what actually has happened. There have been allegations. We are not sure. I'm not going to elaborate on it but there have been incidents [at Pistorius's home].
Pistorius made history in London last year when he became the first double-amputee track athlete to compete in the Olympic Games, running in both the 400 meters and on South Africa's 4×400 relay team at the London Games. Both of his legs were amputated below the knee prior to his first birthday because of a congenital absence of the fibula. After campaigning for years to be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes, Pistorious was cleared by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2008 and allowed to run at international events despite the use of his carbon fibre blades — which the International Association of Athletic Federations initially found to offer the sprinter an unfair advantage.
Following the 2012 Olympics, Pistorius became a highly sought after source for endorsements, including this unfortunate advertisement with Nike.
The reported incidents and implications of domestic abuse by police paint a contradictory picture to the public image of not only Pistorious, but also Steenkamp, who used her celebrity status to draw attention to serious issues including sexual abuse and violence against women. This was the last image that she posted on Instagram:
The following text accompanied it:
I woke up in a happy safe home this morning. Not everyone did. Speak out against the rape of individuals in SA. RIP Anene Booysen. #rape #crime #sayNO
While the police are still waiting for her body to be officially identified by her family, Steenkamp's publicist, Sarit Tomlinson, has confirmed the model/actress's death.
We can confirm that Reeva Steenkamp has passed away. We are in communication with people on the scene, please wait for official statements, as there is too much speculation at this moment in time. We will provide further information as soon as we are able to provide accurate information as to what transpired.
Our thoughts and prayers go to the Steenkamp family, who have asked to have their privacy respected during this difficult time, everyone is simply devastated. She was the kindest, sweetest human being; an angel on earth and will be sorely missed.
The United Nations ranks South Africa second in the world for murder and first for assaults and rapes per capita, with nearly 50 killings committed each day in the country. According to a recent study issued by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, 90% of South African women have experienced emotional and physical abuse; 71% have experienced sexual abuse; and as many as five out of seven children are abused. Last year, South Africa ranked 16th in a Trust Law poll ranking the best and worst G20 nations for women.
Live updates on this breaking news are available via The Guardian.
Update: This is a real life tweet from ESPN's Darren Rovell:
Pistorius was wearing a sweatshirt made by Oakley, his sponsor, when he was taken by police twitpic.com/c3p324

The last gasp of 25-man raiding {WoW}
Feb 26th 2012 5:55PM I think Anne might have a good idea when it comes to the 'embrace the differences between the 10 and 25 man experience. Though it might be a tad too much on the dev team to develop two different kinds of raids for both groups. I was thinking that a decent solution to 25-man problem would be to make the Wintergrasp/BH raids to 25-man. The bosses are pretty easy in comparison the regular raid bosses, so there aren't as many mechanics to remember for your casual raider. They might have to tweak the loot system though. However, if they did make different experiences for the 10 and 25-man raids, I wouldn't want a shared lock out

Nov 16th 2011 2:22PM I am not sure if this is the right place to comment on this, but I was thinking it would be an excellent idea for the Blood Sport Column to do profiles on each of the 10 classes in PvP.
You would compare strengths, weaknesses, ways to counter from a: melee, ranged perspective etc. I think it would be a great intro to PvP idea! You can include specs in each column or you can separate the specs too!

I brewed a strawberry hefeweizen primed with brown sugar not long ago. I think they were all bottled before December. I was not particularly happy with how they turned out so I sent a box home with my parents for my dad to 'enjoy' and distribute. A couple days ago my dad called me and said that a bottle had broken In the cabinet. It didn't call and it wasn't hit by anything and it's only about 70 degrees there at most and does not get very cold. The weird thing is that the bottle broke in the middle. not the neck or the top.. is that how they normally break? Hmm..
Yep, right where the label goes.
If you primed right and didn't have an infection there could have been an imperfection in the bottle. But about the part that broke, it's never happened to me. But I would think that the neck would break not the middle.
Most of the ones that have broken on me usually break close to the bottom, but I would assume breaks happen where there is the most imperfections are.
Be glad it just broke due to imperfections. A buddy of mine had a 12oz bottle disintegrate into tiny shards of glass everywhere from being over carbed.

I recently found an engraved mix metal Japanese vase with inlaid silver and gold flowers at a thrift shop and I'm having a very difficult time identifying the maker and time period the piece was made. There is also a very small set of marking on the bottom but taking a good picture of it is almost impossible, I used a jewelers loop to magnify the camera on my phone but it was the best I could do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's a bud vase of recent issue. they average $10.00 to $ 25.00 Dollars |
Recent is subjective. I've some similar ones from the fifties, and that qualifies as vintage. Price quoted is probably pretty accurate. |

Great letter, well stated and so, so true!
I must applaud Merkley, Weiden, and our President Obama for continuing to fix the shambles our last administration left our country.
Second, Waste Management considers us exploitable bumpkins.
If you mention Jesus, I'm willing to bet the NR will print it. Depends on how you present and word your discussion. Expressing anger concerning local, state and federal government, again I'll bet, will depend on how you word your discussion again. I for one, am not at all satisfied with the way persons in our government who are of the Republican, radical right wing Tea Party ilk behave, and sometimes they really get me angry. But we are a two party run government so they get to have their say too. They still makes me angry a lot of times. [I don't like enlarging our landfill either. :( ]
I do not like the way our government has intruded into our lives by taking away, to a certain degree, some of our privacy. I believe we can work on that and make some changes, and even now it appears they might be working on it in high government places.
If someone calls your speech, hate speech, consider what you have said. Was it? Why did someone consider it hateful? Well, free speech means someone can call what you say hate speech. If you believe it was not, well find someone else to talk with.
America as I knew it in 1943 slipped away. So too has the America I knew in 1953. Same is true of 1968 and many following years. Those times were both good and bad and we made it through them.
We live, learn and most importantly, we grow/change. Sometimes for good, others not so good. Continue to write Beverly, but not everyone will always agree and line up with you. We exchange ideas in this column "Letters to the Editor."

There's nothing like a movie for jump-starting a destination. It helps if the film is good, but as the record shows, this is not strictly necessary. When, in 1979, Dino De Laurentiis made Hurricane in Bora-Bora, there was no hotel to lodge the cast and crew, so he built one, drawing the attention of the world's travel agents to the French Polynesian island. A similar fate had befallen tiny, insignificant Ibiza following the release 10 years earlier of More, in which actors nobody ever heard from again overdosed to a Pink Floyd sound track on heroin supplied by a pusher who may or may not have been a former Nazi.
You don't have to have gone to film school, or hospitality school for that matter, to know that director John Huston ignited a frenzy when he chose Puerto Vallarta as the setting of 1964's Night of the Iguana, starring Ava Gardner and Richard Burton. Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were gearing up for their first marriage, and when she flew to PV to keep him company between takes, the media went berserk. Any hopes the place had of remaining a little-nothing fishing village on the Pacific coast of Mexico with uncorrupted views of humpback whales disporting themselves in the second-largest bay in the Americas were dashed. To show how much he loved her but also to put a roof over their Virginia Woolf–style binge drinking and wrestling matches, Burton bought Taylor a house in the district now called Gringo Gulch. The name tells you everything you need to know about the Anglo incursion they triggered. Rejecting the town as too public, Huston retired to a hideaway he constructed from scratch on Caletas Cove, south of PV on the Bay of Banderas, which can be reached only by water. He found the area so artless, so languidly seductive, he lived there the rest of his life.
Four decades and change after Iguana, pockets of the qualities that captivated Huston may still be found, with sleuthing. One place I learned not to look is along the beach road leading from the airport, where grim tower hotels are thrown up hugger-mugger opposite stadium-size supermarkets. Just when you thought you'd heard the last of Philippe Starck, he pops up on a billboard, trying hard not to look like he's laughing at you for thinking of buying one of his gimcrack condos. (To be fair, Michael Graves, who has more of a reputation to protect, makes the same pitch.) Seen for the first time through a taxi window at night, downtown PV's "legendary" malecón, or promenade, has a vaguely threatening, honky-tonk atmosphere. Bars serve micheladas by the liter. The idle pour into tequila-factory shops. Jewelry stores offer "big families big discounts."
Things looked a lot better—gentler, prettier, gauzier—the next morning from the terrace of my suite at Hacienda San Angel, the Bay of Banderas glimpsed through the lacy ribs of the wrought-iron crown of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral. Woozily romantic, with multiple pools and bougainvillea-draped courtyards on multiple levels, the hotel is only a couple of blocks behind the malecón but feels like it's on another planet. Vendors negotiate the sidewalks balancing enormous trays of fresh empanadas on their heads. A whistle-blow announces to housewives the passage of a man carrying a primitive hand-operated knife sharpener. Tamales are sold from a closet storefront that, on close inspection, is revealed to also be where the tamale-seller actually lives. Vallartans beat the heat in ad hoc living rooms on suites of plastic furniture arranged on the cobblestones. Old-school restaurants play to their grassroots constituencies with thick tuna carpaccio under floods of caper-basil–lime juice emulsion (8 Tostados), and grouper filet with candied nuggets of fried garlic (Hector's Sunset).
The scruffy charm extends across the Cuale River to the Zona Romántica, the neighborhood that earned PV its reputation for being maybe the gayest town in Mexico, and a Key West for the postmillennial oughts. Same-sex couples hold hands freely in the zone, not nothing in a socially moderate (to put a gloss on it), largely Catholic country where homosexuality is not part of the public discourse. (The cross-dressing muxes are an exception.) The 40-room Blue Chairs, which bills itself as the largest gay and lesbian beachfront resort in the world, features gay bingo, gay cruises, gay après–gay cruise parties, gay horseback riding, gay karaoke, and gay whale-watching. Also big with the boys are Marisma, the culty taco stand famous for its smoked marlin, and Encuentros, a stylish and "straight-friendly," if you please, martini-and-pizza lounge.

At the heart of any Pandora system is the POGLE workstation. Beating silently, POGLE binds together control of linear devices (telecines, tape decks, noise reducers etc.), non linear storage via YoYo (DPX frames, Quicktimes etc.), provides a link to the human interface via control panels and feeds back information via readouts in the Linux Platinum software display.Todays data-centric facilities benefit from systems that can integrate with complimentary devices typically found in any facility. Revolution systems do not need to ingest material into a closed system preferring to work directly from the SAN, not making endless copies for different versions, favoring the real time approach of storing grading decisions in metadata. This way unlimited lists can be recalled, viewed and altered before capturing the graded material making the most efficient use of valuable storage space. In addition to this the Revolution system can instantly switch to control linear devices where scanning the material would be of no extra benefit.
Integration with Avid Unity Isis is seamless and already proven in the field with Revolution working directly from MXF files served in source or conform order via YoYo, resized in real time and captured as data or video.
In fact it is possible to grade lists with not only a mixture of formats but also offline cuts, quicktimes, stills and missing sequences where a scan list has been produced by YoYo but not scanned yet as online material becomes available the shots are instantly conformed with grade data applied and an indication as to which sequences have changed.
- Interface to YoYo for non linear control of data
- Control and sync upto four vtrs and telecine (if fitted)
- Five deck editing function
- 525, 625, 720, 1080 3:2 pull down
- Insert / assemble field accurate
- Control noise reducers and format converters
- Control any telecine transport, functions and features (option)
- Proven in the field for over twenty years as the de facto control system
- Proven to be reliable some of the first units still working today
- Proven technology designed to be future proof and still upgradeable to new device protocols
- Comprehensive catalogue of device connectivity
- Comprehensive field adaptability working alone or sharing colour corrector

About Diabetes
Diabetes is the common name for "diabetes mellitus" (DM). It is a group of diseases that prevent your body from using blood glucose properly. Blood glucose, which is also known as blood sugar, is important to help your body function as it should. It is the main source of energy for the cells in your body that make up your muscles and tissues. Think of glucose as your body's main source of fuel or energy. When your body can't break down blood sugar and process that energy the way it's supposed to, your body won't work the way it should. This is basically what happens when a person has diabetes.
Insulin is a substance that is normally produced by the pancreas. Our bodies need it in order to use the sugar in the blood. When the pancreas doesn't produce enough or any insulin, or the insulin it does produce doesn't work correctly, their blood sugar levels will rise. People with diabetes have too much sugar in their blood, which can lead to serious health problems.
Our Care
Diabetes is often diagnosed and treated by primary care physicians; however, the specialty that handles diabetes is called Endocrinology. Endocrinologists and specially-trained staff at Northwestern Memorial Hospital run a number of programs dedicated entirely to diabetes care and education, including:
Inpatient Programs
- Diabetes Education Service
The diabetes education service is an inpatient diabetes education program that is run by a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) who is a registered nurse and nurse practitioner. Our current inpatient CDE works full time with patients, helping them understand what diabetes is, how it affects them, what their treatment will likely entail and what they can do to self-manage their diabetes
- Diabetes Management Service
Diabetes management service is an inpatient program in which physicians and nurse practitioners work with patients in the hospital, managing their blood sugars.
Educational Services
- Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs)
CDEs are specially-trained individuals who work with people with diabetes. Currently, there are CDEs at Northwestern Memorial, the Center for Lifestyle Medicine and the Center for Integrative Medicine & Wellness.
- The Health Learning Center
The Alberto Culver Health Learning Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital provides diabetes education materials to people interested in learning more about diabetes, including educational packets for patients who are newly diagnosed.
- Registered Dietitians (RDs)
We staff RDs to help patients and community members make the best possible food choices. RDs often work with patients who are on a variety of diets to help them plan and find realistic ways to make their diets healthier. Appointments with RDs can be made through the Center for Integrative Medicine and Wellness at 312-926-3627 and the Center for Lifestyle Medicine at 312-695-2300.
Programs & Research
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
CGM provides qualified patients with the information needed to assist them in designing individualized diabetes treatment programs based on detailed blood sugar profiles. They are used together with home blood glucose monitoring. If you are interested in this program, please call 312-695-7970 and ask for Adelina Garza.
- Insulin Pump/Real-Time Sensing Start Up Program
This is a 12-week training program for patients who are interested in beginning Insulin Pump and/or Real Time Sensing as a part of their diabetes treatment. If you are interested in this program, please call 312-695-7970 and ask for Adelina Garza.
- Diabetes Mellitus Research Studies
These studies are run by Certified Diabetes Educators, and in the past, we've performed Diabetes Prevention Trials.
Community Service
- Diabetes Collaborative
The Diabetes Collaborative is a program to help diabetic patients living in underserved areas. We have developed and implemented a patient-centered, cost-effective care program, called the Diabetes Collaborative, that helps patients self-manage their diabetes.
Related Programs
- Weight Management Programs
These programs help patients lose weight, which in turn reduces the risk of diabetes or helps people with diabetes keep their symptoms and complications under control. When people with diabetes are severely overweight and are unable to keep weight off through diet and exercise, weight loss surgery might be an option for them in an effort to control diabetes symptoms and complications. The medical weight management specialists of the Weight Loss Surgery Program utilizes a team approach to caring for patients. The team includes dietitians, psychologists and medical specialists, such as endocrinologists. To learn more about their services, contact the Weight Loss Surgery Program at 312-695-7070.
- Pancreas and Islet Cell Transplants
Transplants are potential treatments for some people with diabetes. Northwestern Memorial has the largest pancreas transplant program in Illinois and one of the largest in the United States. The transplant team collaborates closely with physicians and surgeons who are recognized leaders in the treatment of diabetes.

Pharrell was one of the most talked about the Grammys -- partly because he went home with four wins and partly because of his Arby's hat. And now you have a chance to own it.
The N.E.R.D member has put his iconic Vivienne Westwood headdress up for auction on eBay. All proceeds are to go to his non-profit From One Hand to Another foundation.
Pharrell tells Billboard, "I'm giving up the Buffalo hat I wore to the Grammys to help underserved kids get the educational tools they need. Our organization, From One Hand to Another, is committed to bringing kids experiences that ignite their passions, challenge their minds and prepare them for success."
The starting bid for the hat was $200 and is already over $10,000. The auction ends March 2nd.

About the book
Press Release
Lauded by Verdi, Debussy, and other music legends, the celebrated conductor Arturo Toscanini raised the standards of orchestral and operatic performance over an astonishing 68 years on the podium. But as he did so, he acquired a reputation as something of a tyrant, who unleashed an explosive temper at musicians if rehearsals did not meet his expectations. In

Decorah, Iowa
Cross country highlight: Christina loves running at the annual All-American cross-country meet held at Luther. "There's so much energy and Luther support. It's really a neat experience."
Favorite cafeteria food: "We can grind our own peanut butter in the caf," says Christina. "It's a staple in my diet and can be paired with countless items so I never get bored of it."
One aspect she enjoys about campus: "I love the spontaneity of the students. It's fun to see impromptu games of Frisbee on the library lawn, snow men around campus in the winter, dorm windows elaborately decorated for Christmas, and students enjoying creative events like quidditch (from the Harry Potter movies) and Easter egg hunts."
"I love anything that involves problem solving or number crunching," says Christina. "I also like that the academic paths at Luther allow students to branch out a bit." She's enjoyed a handful of religion, history, and philosophy classes. "I recently took a J-term class where we traveled to Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Belgium to study the European Reformation."
Her co-curricular activities are also diverse, but suit her interests well. "I'm on the cross country and track teams and have also been involved with PALS (Luther's mentoring program) and some of the bible study groups."
But when it came to choosing a college, the greatest asset Luther offered her was a strong sense of community. "I never imagined that I would feel so much a part of my college. I've found that Luther is a very special place."

Nice shirt-jac. Gave it to my husband for Christmas and he said: "I don't need it, but I do like it. I'll keep it". Good for throwing over a tee on a cool evening.

An Interesting Shirt
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase of the Lake Country Blanket shirt. The fabric is a handsome blend of colors that seems to change relative to the ambient light of your surroundings. In normal interior lighting, it is not a brightly colored shirt since the colored yarns are inter-woven with black yarn. Wear it outside in sunlight, and the colors rise to the top! It does have a chamois shirt feel and is very comfortable w/ no break-in required. Sizing is predictable. People seem to take interest in the unique color and pattern of the fabric in this shirt and I get positive comments whenever it is worn. The down-side is that the price is a bit spendy. I think the shirt could have been priced $20 less if they had dropped the side pocket design which I will never use, and which adds another layer of fabric at the belt-line. I'd rather have that room for layering myself. Still, it's a keeper for me.
