Chester native Brittany-Marie Warthan is staying true to her roots, launching a career in country music from the town she's always called home. This makes sense to her because she realizes the role her family, friends, and community have played in her personal development and in the decision to pursue her dream of being a country music singer.
"They say a city can raise one person," Warthan said. "I've grown up in Chester and this is where I would consider to be my foundation, and definitely where most of my fans are."
Growing up, Warthan always loved singing. She sang in church, elementary school and in show choir throughout middle and high school years. Though she was constantly aware of her own shyness and inner fears, she did not let these things overcome her.
Warthan graduated from Thomas Dale High School in Chester and later briefly attended a performing arts school where she worked diligently to learn more about herself and her voice. Her experience and the advice she received here would ultimately help her overcome much of her shyness and bring her to the point she is today where she is able to say "The stage is where I feel most comfortable now."
In 2005 she went to California to perform in a talent show and met a few friends along the way. Despite some success and her love for singing, she stopped the full-time pursuit of a music career in an effort to explore more "practical" careers.
She took a hiatus from music but returned with a vengeance in 2011, when she began writing her own music. Her closest friends had been pushing her to write, sing, and pursue music, and a turning point in a personal relationship would become the catalyst for her to ultimately take their advice.
In talking about her prior endeavors she said, "After trying a lot of different avenues, I just know this is my passion and if I go through life and look back and wish I would have done it – I don't want that to happen, so I want to be able to give it all I've got and say I tried my best no matter what happens."
About a year ago she decided to re-launch her career, and she hasn't looked back since. Staying true to her roots again and utilizing her natural knack for networking, she's put together a band consisting of three sisters whom she grew up with and other musicians she has met along the way. Brittany says, "My band is the lifeblood of what we do." And she makes it very clear that she is deeply appreciative of their talents and dedication – you can read about them on her website.
They recently played at the Shad Planking, a political event that marks the start of fishing season, in Wakefield, Virginia, where she stepped on stage for the first time in approximately four years. On April 27, she will be playing at the Hippodrome in Richmond, where her performance will be recorded and will subsequently air on her YouTube channel.
She is also currently working on producing an album and hopes to have songs available by the Fall of 2013.
Writing songs comes naturally to her now, and she wrote her most recent song, "Let's Walk a Country Mile," while driving just off of where I-95 South meets the exit to Chester. You can hear her single on her official website www.brittanymarieofficial.com. Visit http://www.hippodromerichmond.com/ to get tickets for her kick-off concert in Richmond on April 27 at 7 p.m. Tickets range from $10-$13 depending upon method of purchase.

College of Law › About the College of Law › News, Events, and Multimedia › News › TU Law Professor Vicki Limas Receives Outstanding Teacher Award
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
The University of Tulsa recognized Vicki J. Limas, Professor of Law, with an Outstanding Teacher Award, which is the highest teaching honor the university bestows. Limas accepted the award during commencement exercises held May 8, 2010.
The university annually selects three faculty members for the award that recognizes excellence in the classroom. Nine TU College of Law faculty members have received the award since 2000.
Limas teaches Employment Discrimination Law, Employment Law, Introduction to Alternative Dispute Resolution, Mediation, and Tribal Economic Development. She adds this honor to a list of commendations she has received throughout her career, including recognition of Exemplary Service by a Faculty Member from the TU Law Alumni Association and the Outstanding Faculty Service Award by the Board of Advocates student organization.
"Vicki is an excellent teacher who is on the cutting edge of integrating skills and simulation-based training in her classes," said Janet Levit, Dean and Dean John Rogers Endowed Chair. "She integrates advanced trends in legal education, which is precisely the kind of teaching that prepares our students for the practice of law."
Limas joined the TU College of Law faculty in 1988. She served for ten years as Associate Dean for Student Affairs, and currently serves as codirector of the Native American Law Center and director of the LL.M. program in American Indian and Indigenous Law.
Her scholarly interests focus on employment issues affecting Indian tribes and individuals. She is a contributing author to Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law.
Limas received her J.D. in 1984 from Northwestern University School of Law and her B.A. and M.A. in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Prior to joining the TU College of Law faculty, she practiced labor and employment law with a major Tulsa firm. She is an adjunct settlement judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma and an arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Better Business Bureau. She served 12 years on the boards of Legal Services of Eastern Oklahoma and Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma and currently serves on the board of the Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
This year's other Outstanding Teacher Award winners were Thomas Buoye, Associate Professor of History in the Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences, and Joseph Rivers, Professor of Music and Film Studies also in the Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences.

Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/PBS) is a chronic, painful, inflammatory condition which predominantly affects women, with an average age at onset of 40 years old. American Urological Association recently issued the guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of IC/PBS. Download here.
Although IC/PBS was once thought to be rare, the U.S. National Institutes of Health currently estimates the prevalence of IC/PBS to range between 700,000 to 1 million people in the United States, 90 percent of who are women.
IC/PBS is an incurable chronic illness involving pain, urinary urgency, loss of sleep, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and can have a severe negative impact on sexual function. Treatment options exist, but a majority of cases are refractive to existing therapies. The population of those diagnosed and seeking treatment for IC/PBS constitute a significant unmet demand. Sales for an effective IC/PBS therapy are estimated to exceed 350 million dollars per year.

I usually have no problems with nivea lip products until i used this formulation. I must be allergic to one of the ingredients because after a few days of using it my lips broke out, they were very swollen, itchy and dry. I will not be repurchasing this product.
I love this product! I have used endless lip products, from high end Laura Mercier to Burt's Bees, Chapstick and everything inbetween in order to cute my chapped and scarred, dry lips. I finally found a holy grail! My lips get dry very very easy, and I have found this lip balm to be the best to soothe any pain, get rid of any chapped or dry, flaky skin, and moisturise my lips and keep them looking yummy and kissable, as well as making them feel very very soft with a not too waxy, very moisturising coverage!
I don't really like this lip balm after using ones like Burt's Bees. The stick is hard and you have to go over your lips multiple times to even get a decent amount of product on your lips.
Also, if I take a few sips of water, suddenly the balm is gone and my lips feel dry as hell again.
I suggest going with lip balms that have more oil content
I love it, this moisturizes really good and I like the tingly feeling on my lips when I apply it. This last around 2 hours without eating or drinking. I'd say to give it a try to people who don't like the super creamy feeling on their lips. It's pretty cheap too, so I usually buy two when there's an offer
Not the best lip balm but works to moisturise my lips during the night and before make-up. While I generally preferred my Carmex lipbalm, this lipbalm is a great alternative to use because it is easier to get this in Singapore, due to Carmex is not available here.
I generally prefer it over those local brands because it actually does moisturise my lips and soften it while the others just forces me to constantly reapply it after a few seconds. It does not have a waxy texture and seems to just melt onto my lips as I swipe on my lips.
More reviews by anitalovestoshop
This stuff is just great. It is a bit of a slow starter, but once you have used the stick a few times, it starts to thicken up, and moisturises very nicely. Much better than Vaseline, which coats your lips but doesn't give anything back.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This lip balm has always been one of the best-selling in Turkey, in spite of releases of competing products of increasingly higher quality. It's a no-frills product that does not contain any colour, just soothes lips and prevents chapping. Its formula may feel thick at first but it actually gets absorbed very easily into the skin and you can just feel as if it's filling up spaces where it's most likely for your lips to get chapped.
Great lip blam. Works well under lipstick as it's not too waxy or heavy. It fixed my chapped lips and has prevented them from chapping again!
I love how it feels on my lips, it doesn't feel waxy or gooey like some lip balms and as it soaks in it doesn't become dry and gross at the corners of my lips like Burt's Bees does. I like the packaging, it so far has stayed completely free of picking up any lint that might be in my bag, unlike other lip tubes with a shorter lid. I keep this in my school bag for regular use, but I'm thinking of picking up another one to keep around the house/in my purse with my other lip gloss. It has a bit of a strange smell... almost like sugar cookie dough to me - but it's really subtle and you can't smell it while you're wearing it.

Sep 27, 2010 3:45 PM by Allyson Weller (KPAX News)
RONAN - A 17-year-old Missoula male died and two others were injured in an early morning accident near Sloan's Bridge.
The Montana Highway Patrol reports the crash happened Monday morning at around 7:00 a.m. when a Dodge SUV, driven by a 22-year-old Ronan male, was traveling fast down Little Bitterroot Road.
The driver lost control and the vehicle went of the right side of the roadway and rolled over four times. Authorities say that the driver, the 17-year-old male passenger and a 40-year-old female passenger were all ejected from the truck.
The Missoula male was pronounced dead on the scene while the driver and female passenger were taken to St. Luke's hospital in Ronan. The woman was later air-llifted to Kalispell Medical Regional Center.
There's no word on the condition of the two hurt in the wreck. MHP reports that both speed and alcohol played a role in the accident.

Beverly Hills
La Dolce Vita, Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills, CA, 90210, United States
This longtime haunt of President Ronald Reagan dates back to 1966, when George Smith, Jimmy Ullo, and George Raft brought "the sweet life" to Beverly Hills. Alessandro Uzielli now owns the old-school restaurant, which has art-lined, brick walls; red carpeting; and leather, lamp-lit booths. Popular dishes include fettuccine Alfredo, the broiled veal chop, Steak Sinatra—he was a regular customer—which is filet mignon with roasted peppers, and for dessert, zabaglione for two (a custard). The beverage program revolves around food-friendly Italian wines and modern cocktails like the LDV, a signature punch made with bourbon, champagne, and homemade grenadine.
Insider Tip:
La Dolce Vita is around the corner from the Beverly Gardens, a well-manicured park that runs nearly two miles along Santa Monica Boulevard, ideal for a pre- or post-meal walk.

There's a right way and a wrong way to clean your CDs and DVDs. Generations of vinyl record cleaning has ingrained an instinct to wipe around and around the disc. That's the wrong way to clean a CD!
There are no grooves in a CD. Sure the data on the disc is saved around the disc, but the surface is smooth. The best way to clean your discs is to move in straight lines from the inside edge to the outside edge. Imagine, if you will, a clock. Now put your finger in the middle of the clock and move in a straight line to the number 12. Then go back to the middle and move in a straight line to the number one. Back to the middle and out to the number two... This is called a radial motion.
The CD/DVD Radial Cleaner takes care of the radial motion for you. Just turn the handle. The system of gears turns a cleaning pad to clean your discs the right way. We include our Ultreen Solution to make sure you get the stubborn stuff.
Dimensions: 1 in. x 7.25 in x 8.5 in
Model #: 51000
Designed to clean most CD and DVD discs.

I call this the new teacher syndrome. Here I am trying to teach my 11th grade Honors Chemistry class the physical and chemical properties of matter and that density is one of the unique physical properties of matter and how it can be used to identify it.
"What are some physical properties we can use to classify matter?" I asked. The whole class was dead quiet and I could see on their faces that they were clueless as to what my question was and where this lesson was heading. I wish you could see how frustrated and disappointed I was. You may be wondering what the reason was for my disappointment.
For Pete's sake, this is my 11th grade Honors chemistry class! I had high expectation and I had just made the number one mistake that most new teachers like me made. I had assumed that all my students would come into my class with extensive science background knowledge. Well sometimes they do, but the missing link may be how the concept is introduced, I later discovered.
The following year I made the entire lesson more interesting with visual and engaging hands-on components. I placed some objects (beaker of colored water, a stick of candle wax, a piece of rock and balloon filled with air) in front of the class, introduced the lesson and I asked the same question as last year, "Observe these items and list some of the physical properties and the properties you can measure?"
I was amazed at how differently the students took in the information and how excited they were about the lesson. I also noticed how visuals change the dynamics of a lesson.

SCF Game 1 Recap: Defensive breakdown in OT gives Kings 1-0 lead
After what seemed like a month since the Eastern Conference Finals ended, the Stanley Cup Finals got under way on Wednesday night. Things didn't go well for the home team in Game 1. Both teams played very sloppy at times, but the Devils could never get their game going the way they wanted to and needed to on Wednesday. The Devils nearly stole the game in overtime, but they broke down defensively and completely lost Anze Kopitar, who had the breakaway that resulted in the game-winning goal for the Kings. Los Angeles is still undefeated on the road in these playoffs and lead the series, 1-0.
This is Our Team, Our Town Devils Army
For the fifth time in franchise history the New Jersey Devils will be playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. I was fortunate enough to be at Game 7 of 2003 when the Devils won their most recent championship. I stood next to my Dad as the seconds ticked down and Gary Bettman walked out, grabbed Lord Stanley's Cup and handed it off to Scott Stevens. If you ask me what my best Devils' memory is, well without a doubt, it's that game. Now, when you ask my father, he's often quick to say watching me watching the Devils win the Cup. That always resonated with me.
ECF Game 6 Recap: There's a new 'King' in town
(This headline could be referring to King Henrique or the new Kings, from L.A., coming to town. You decide.)
Three stars of the game:
3rd star: Martin Brodeur (33 saves)
2nd star: Ryan Callahan (1 goal)
1st star: (want to guess??) Adam Henrique (Series-winning overtime goal)
In case you haven't heard by now, 6,575 days ago, Rangers captain Mark Messier was busy guaranteeing that his team would beat the Devils in Game 6 and eventually win the series. The media likes to remind us of this feat, as 18 years later to the day, the Devils were in the same position as they once were: up 3-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Rangers. This time, however, history did not repeat itself. It was Adam Henrique's second series-winning goal this postseason that ignited an epic celebration at Prudential Center and lifted the Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2003.
The Devils dominated most first periods in this series, and they did it again in Game 6. While shots on goal didn't tell the full story (both teams had 14 shots on goal in the first period), the Devils dictated the pace of the period and controlled the puck more often. It didn't start out easily, as they had to kill an early Rangers power play, but they got some great scoring chances on Henrik Lundqvist early and often. In the first minute of play, it was Ilya Kovalchuk cutting through the slot and snapping one that Lundqvist fought off with his glove. Then, shorthanded, it was Dainius Zubrus leading a 3-on-1 rush, and he beat Lundqvist glove-side, but rang his shot off the post. Moments later, the Devils caught the Rangers on a bad line change, and Stephen Gionta blasted one blocker side that Lundqvist turned aside.
To counter the Devils' surge, the Rangers tried to create pressure by having their defensemen pinch in to keep offensive zone shifts alive. Halfway through the period, that cost them dearly. Marc Staal tried to pinch in, but he turned the puck over to Steve Bernier, who led a 3-on-2 rush. He fed Stephen Gionta by slipping the puck through Michael Del Zotto. Lundqvist stopped Gionta, but no Ranger could clear the crease and Ryan Carter buried an easy goal in front of the net to give the Devils a 1-0 lead. The fourth line was at it again on their next shift minutes later, as they pressured the Rangers and forced Ruslan Fedotenko to take a very costly tripping penalty.
The ensuing Devils power play featured some of the best passing you'll ever see on a power play. The play went from Peter Harrold at the top of the umbrella-like formation to the right wing Adam Henrique to David Clarkson in the slot to Zubrus below the goal line to Lundqvist's left to Ilya Kovalchuk back door, and Kovy one-timed it home to make it 2-0. They got another power play to end the first period, but failed to score again, despite controlling the puck for the entire power play.
The second period, just like in Game 5, featured the Rangers getting back in the game. They outplayed the Devils in the period and got their forecheck going, just as the Devils had done for most of the series. The Devils eventually got a power play, as the officials called a phentom hi-stick to Steve Bernier's helmet, but replays showed that Bernier embellished the play a bit. Moments later, Travis Zajac was slashed hard on the wrist, but nothing was called. Halfway through the period, again like the Devils in the first period, the Rangers got on the board. Defenseman Ryan McDonagh circled behind the Devils' net and threw the puck to the crease, where Ruslan Fedotenko had an easy tap-in to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Rangers continued to press, and tied the game minutes later, as Dan Girardi's point shot re-directed past Brodeur's glove off Ryan Callahan's leg. At the end of the period, after the Rangers had surged, the Devils' top line put together a good scoring chance, but Lundqvist stopped a first chance, and Zach Parise couldn't get to a rebound in the crease. After two periods, it was tied, 2-2.
The teams traded scoring chances in the third period, as both teams looked to be going for it all in the third. Lundqvist stopped Zubrus and Elias early on, and Brodeur made some of his best saves of the series on Ryan Callahan's wrister from the slot, point blank save on Brad Richards' rebound on a Rangers power play, plus a pair of poke checks, highlighted by his poke check on Artem Anisimov on a partial breakaway. After three periods, Game 6 was heading to overtime.
In Game 6 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Finals, Claude Lemieux played the role of hero to send the Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals. In 2000, it was Patrik Elias' goal late in regulation to knock off the Flyers in Game 7 of the Conference Finals. A year later, Bobby Holik had the game-winner in Game 5 against Pittsburgh to clinch the conference championship. In 2003, Jeff Friesen's late third period goal in Game 7 in Ottawa sent the Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals. So who would be the hero for the Devils this time?
Overtime didn't last long. The Rangers threatened a bit on the opening shift of overtime, but then, a Devil rose to the occasion. It is fitting that Peter DeBoer's makeshift line of Kovalchuk, Henrique and Ponikarovsky created the game-winning goal, because DeBoer's ability to connect with his players and get a feel for the game has been blatant throughout the playoffs. His new line came through in a big way. Ilya Kovalchuk entered the zone and wristed one towards the net from the high slot. Alexei Ponikarovsky, who set up Adam Henrique's double-overtime goal in Game 7 in Florida, as well as scoring his own overtime goal in Game 3 against the Flyers, then wristed the puck towards the net from the left side of the net. Kovalchuk and Ponikarovsky jammed away at the loose puck. Finally, Kovalchuk jammed it through Lundqvist and in the middle of the crease, and as multiple Rangers dove and tried to find the puck, Adam Henrique skated in and buried it, 1:03 into overtime, and the Devils had knocked off the Rangers to win the Eastern Conference!
Henrique's heroics shouldn't be much of a surprise to Devils fans. He notched two goals, including the series-winner in the clinching Game 7 in Florida, picked up two assists in the clinching Game 5 in Philadelphia and scored the series-winning goal against the Rangers. For those keeping score, that's five points in three series-clinching games. The former Windsor Spitfires playoff hero in the Ontario Hockey League has stepped up in a huge way for the Devils in the playoffs so far. Martin Brodeur played perhaps his best three games of the playoffs in the series clinchers thus far as well.
So, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully, it'll be nice and relaxing, but come Wednesday night, it's Devils-Kings: Game 1 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals.
ECF Game 5 Recap: Miracle in Midtown
(headline by @JerseyGuy276)
Three stars of the game (as voted on by Devils fans on Twitter):
3rd star: Ryan Callahan (1 goal)
2nd star: Ryan Carter (Game-winning goal)
1st star: Stephen Gionta (1 goal, 1 assist)
Something I try to do when writing recaps is to be neutral and not let emotions get in the way, but on some nights, emotion gets the best of you. Wednesday night's thriller at Madison Square Garden could fall under that category. As NBC's Jeremy Roenick commented, this was arguably the game of the playoffs so far, and it was far more enjoyable to fans of 28 NHL teams. For Devils and Rangers fans, it was a very stressful evening, but in the end, the Devils came away with an incredible 5-3 win over the Rangers and are one win away from a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.

But, I need something hearty right now, and my Braised Chicken and Spring Vegetables is just what I need for a yummy healthy meal.
Try this recipe and email me back. It's so simple to make and so delicious.
Ali in the Valley
Photo by: Ali
Braised Chicken and Spring Vegetables Recipe:
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
12 medium radishes, thinly sliced
3/4 pound carrots ( about 4) cut into sticks
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until browned, 6 to 7 minutes per side, transfer to a plate. Spoon off and discard fat. Return the pot to medium-high heat, add the broth, and scrape up any brown bits. Stir in the radishes, carrots, and sugar if using. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and gently simmer, partially covered until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives or parsley or both! Yum!
This looks yummy and easy - will def have to try this weekend! Thanks Ali!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card is definitely 'clean' and classy. The design and color is a sophisticated in person as it is online. I used the same theme for my wedding invites, menus,place cards, etc...and we received many, many compliments. The only negative is that the was not an indentation to easily fold the card, so it creates a faint wrinkle and is a little inconvenient."
"I ordered these cards for the thank you's for our shower! I love the paper they came on and the printing was great! They even changed the colors for me to match my wedding's (navy blue & pink). My only complaint is that they were much smaller than I had envisioned them being. Which is my fault for not looking more closely at the measurements. This may or may not be a problem for most depending on how long their thank you cards are."
"I am using these for my bachlorette thank you cards. I can't wait to mail them out. The color is perfect and the card is just perfect~!"
"I ordered these for my friend to send out after her shower. I changed the font on both of them and they look great. The only thing is (with these and the invites) the block-letter font is pretty small. If I could go back on these, I would have left her name off and had only the 'Thank You'. I can't wait to give these to her at the shower- with the return envelopes already addressed. She will love them!"
"These thank you cards turned out to be really good. The paper is nice quality, great print job. The best thing is that if we have any eft over we can use them as thank you cards not just for wedding stuff."

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Karazhan DPS gear continued {WoW}
Jul 11th 2008 1:49PM I think he might be joking, since I doubt there are people this ignorant these days.
However, considering the current political situation in the world, I might be wrong.
I'm confused.
Forum post of the day: A crushing blow to Warriors? {WoW}
Jul 11th 2008 1:48PM Yeah, that would seem good, and considering Druids need a niche, burst threat might be it.
It's not the case at the moment, however, since Warriors do most TPS.
I think Blizz themselves are confused lol
Forum post of the day: A crushing blow to Warriors? {WoW}
Jul 11th 2008 7:23AM Well, personally, I will not be sad AT ALL if I don't have to mash the Shield Block button all the freaking boss fight.
I mean, I can see Warrior tanks being more of a Mitigation-Trough-Avoidance tanks come Wrath. Critical Block, increased Rage from Dodge/Parry/Block kinda makes that work.
The removal of Crushing blows will also help Druid tanks, which are, IMO, becoming more and more like warrior tanks. I have no problem with that, as long as we still get to tank.
I do have one problem with Blizzard not clearly stating which role they want the 4 tanking classes to play. Okay, so if DKs are Magic, Paladins are AOE, Warriors are superior Single-Target tanks, then where do Druids come in?
BTW, looking at the current DK talent trees, looks like any of the trees will be most likely able to tank easily in 5-mans and 10-mans, so I dunno. They are getting ridiculous amounts of armor and parry in the Blood Tree, too.
I'm just a confused, small gnome tank. And that's the reason why I'll spec Fury come Wrath (Titan's Grip is awesome).
Arcane Brilliance: How to fix Mages {WoW}
Jul 6th 2008 2:56AM Roxton, what I meant was, if a class brings a lot of damage to a raid (lets say, rogue), it should bring very little utility (and indeed, rogues are often a burden on the raid due to being melee dps), whereas if a class brings a lot of utility (I.E. Shamans), it should bring less damage, to balance it out.
Mellth, what you said is mostly true, however, the viability of other trees brings nothing to DPS trees of those classes. If I am about to DPS on my warrior, I don't really care if I'm my class is the best tank class (which might not even be true, considering both Paladins and Druids have their own special "ez mode" encounters and fare rather well in other fights). Also, I do not mean to say that Warriors are underpowered, but how do you imagine a good warrior taking down a good mage? We can only intercept so much, you know. And I accept that, WoW is Rock-Paper-Scissors on steroids, after all.
Yes, true, Warlocks are buffed Mages atm (with different spell animations and colors), but where did I deny it? So the only issue is not that Mages are underpowered (which they are not compared to other classes tbh), but that Warlocks are overpowered in PVE, don't you think?
Arcane Brilliance: How to fix Mages {WoW}
Jul 6th 2008 2:42AM Ever heard of Ice Lance? Or cancelling the cast?
Spell Reflect is basically useless against a good mage. It's godly, granted, against a bad one. Though seeing that it works most of the time, I'd have to think that there are more bad mages than good ones.
namralaks2001 - I'm going to ignore your pathetic attempt at swearing us off ("He doesn't share my opinion so he must be an idiot!"). People tend to be too much self-involved with the main class they play. Mages are by far not the most broken class in the game, don't overstate it.
Arcane Brilliance: How to fix Mages {WoW}
Jul 5th 2008 2:51PM Actually, this is exactly what I meant.
There are classes that need love way more than mages.
The way you are making it look like you can't do any DPS at all and die at the slightest touch is just ridiculous.
Survivability does not mean a lot to a DPS class in raids. In pvp - Ice Block, Shield, etc. Try playing the "strongest, most durable melee class" - warriors, who get totally destroyed by mages.
Sigh -__- I think I'm just a bit biased at how this post tries to imply mages are weak and underpowered, which is very far from the truth.
Arcane Brilliance: How to fix Mages {WoW}
Jul 5th 2008 2:43PM While I can't say much about how Mages are underpowered in late game (seeing as I never played one seriously), I'd like to call you out on a few on your points.
You say that "every class has their own version of it (CC)". I'd like you to tell me what CC Paladins, Warriors, Shamans, Priests (Shackle only works in like 2 instances), Druids have in PVE. Also, don't even compare Sheep to, lets say, Freezing Trap or Sap. Mages are still the kings of CC, no mistake about that. I am personally a tank (Warrior) and I would nearly always prefer another mage instead of a Rogue or a Warlock in instances that require heavy CC.
Don't forget that Mages are rather popular in the arena and do really well.
I also don't get this whole "Mages should do the most DPS" thing. Why? Why not warriors? Or Ret Paladins? Or Hunters? Or Warlocks? Every class is supposed to bring about the same amount of Raid Damage and Utility. What raid utility do Rogues bring? You atleast give a raid buff and CC against trash.
Yes though, Mages have fallen short in terms on AOE Dps to warlocks ("Spam seed!") and that needs to be adressed.
TL;DR version: Less QQ, More pewpew
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Titan's Grip! {WoW}
Jun 28th 2008 3:27PM Titan's Grip!
I've wanted that freaking talent since I saw it in leaked Alpha Info.
Currently, dual wielding something like Stormherald/Gorehowl would already net a pretty big increase in DPS compared to the best one-hand weapons, not counting added stats and imba Whirlwinds. I guess the issue here would be inconsistent rage, which may mean having to use a one-hand weapon as offhand till you get good enough gear to maintain rage.
Anyhow, I love that talent and I can't understand people who are saying it's bad because it's not realistic, etc - guys, this is the Warcraft universe, it was never meant to be realistic.
Defense cap defined {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2008 6:30PM Heh, the graph suggests that you'd be the most satisfied with 0 defense :P
It should be a parabolae.
Nice article otherwise.

I will stay at the O.W.H. any chance I get from now on. The place feels very comfortable and I love the location.

The hotel stay was as wonderful as expected, as we were there a year earlier. Staff was outstanding. Extras for the room were asked for and granted quickly. My only slight complaint was the outside light outside of the room on the sidewalk side. Though it did go off later in the evening, an early sleep time would not be easily accomplished. We will return again, and the small community is wonderful.

Great views, clean rooms, friendly service and reasonable rates all spell a great experience. Our room (#4) had a wonderful view of the bay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again, and soon.

I really enjoyed the welcome the staff does, each room had the name of the guests posted outside the room. Loved the furnishings, just perfect for the time period. Katie gave a recommendatinn for a local restaurant. She was spot on as it was excellant. Breakfast was skimpy. Management might want to advertise that it's a light breakfast or continentsl style. I had to get more food at the little coffee shop down stairs. Wonderful location as Wheeler is a great place to relax and unwind.

Off the track, easily missed and understated, this gem of a hotel is a grand and sweet surprise. Friendly, very clean, it is a step back in time with tasteful decor. Once there , you find that there is fishing and boating right across the street. Only 2 restaurants in town but a nice coffee shop downstairs and Nehalem and Rockaway beach are close by for more restaurants. Two antique stores steps away where you will get lost in the endless rooms and certainly find some treasure to take home. We will return!

This was my second stay, just one night each time (while driving from Seattle to Sacramento), and I wish I could have stayed longer. The hotel, the rooms, the furnishings, the many amenities (computer, DVDs, books, common room, breakfast, piano), and the setting and view are first rate. The sunset (both times) was glorious. The owner/staff could not be more friendly and helpful. I hope I have an opportunity to stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Wheeler Hotel. We had the Honeymoon Suite, that had a Jacuzzi in the room and a wonderful view from large windows looking toward the bay. It's a great place to view all that's going on in Wheeler. The staff was especially friendly and knowledgeable about the area, for anything you might want to do or see. We would definitely stay there again!

What is not to love about the "Old Wheeler Hotel"? From the decor and the amazing view to be seen from the "commons" room. It has all the comforts of mom's house with a cozy, romantic twist going back in time. Bright and cheery rooms, match the service provided by the staff, always a smile and to see if we need anything at all. The movie selection is great!! Some oldies but goodies with popcorn if you like. Everything is walking distance, we never drove once after we arrived. I enjoyed watching the elk on the island just as much as the champagne and jacuzzi tub in our quiet cozy room. My hats of to Katie and Raine for a amazing getaway!!

How a CPA Should Work with Vendors: A Vendor's Perspective
By Robert Basso
Beyond Basic Due Diligence
Outsourcing has increased in popularity over the last decade. Accounting firms are looking to service providers to take over certain operations to aid them in becoming more efficient and profitable. Many accounting firms delegate certain services, including tax preparation, payroll, and bookkeeping, to outside vendors. Embarking on this path has many pros and cons. Before a firm begins outsourcing, it must be confident and comfortable with the company that will be providing the services.
Before entering into a relationship with a particular vendor and providing a client with a referral, it is of utmost importance to conduct due diligence to confirm the vendor's abilities and verify that it can offer the services the client requires in a timely, professional, and efficient manner. Encourage clients, to speak with the provider's current clients, and ask for information that demonstrates financial stability and competence. Failure to provide acceptable information should immediately send up a red flag, leading to additional review or moving on to another provider. This simple measure can give insight as to how the vendor operates and how the client will be treated.
Often, businesses neglect to investigate people they meet at networking events and business functions, relying solely on their impression of the people and the circumstances under which they meet. This is a risky proposition.
For example, in the payroll industry, vendors must be insured and bonded. Referrals involve more than passing on contact information to people in different sectors. Just because a large corporation or well-known name has the proper credentials is no reason to forgo the review. Every office, department, and individual in a large company operates differently. The quality, or lack thereof, provided to various clients from different departments within the same company can be surprising.
Referrals Are a Two-Way Street
Referrals should not come with strings attached. In some instances, a specific vendor is the exclusive recipient of referrals from a particular accounting firm, and vendors work hard to earn and maintain this level of confidence. Nevertheless, accounting professionals should understand that referrals and working with service providers should be a two-way street. The accounting firm is in business to provide services for clients and promote growth. Whenever possible, businesses that receive referrals should do what they can to return value to the referring firm. I am not talking about referral fees or finder's fees, which is a complex issue to be addressed later, but about developing relationships that will assist the firm to grow over the long term and help individual accountants attract business. Accountants should view those to whom they provide referrals as allies, and the recipients should understand this as well. Individuals who receive referrals should be a firm's advocate and should provide added value whenever possible.
Reciprocating in the referral relationship and staying within ethical boundaries is complicated. Frequently, vendors are not in a position to return value with direct referrals. This is because businesses do not change accounting firms often and most businesses don't announce that they are seeking new representation.
Added value can be derived from a relationship in several ways. To be effective, the vendor must understand the referral practice and its capabilities and goals. This knowledge equips the vendor to recognize opportunities when they arise. These opportunities can involve identifying prospects, recommending networking or business events, or proactively introducing members of the firm to others who can use their services or provide referrals.
Practices reap significant benefits when they provide a referral where clients are well served, especially if the results are cost-effective. This should not be the only value that comes with the referral. When a new vendor enters a relationship with a CPA firm's client, it is an opportunity to learn about the relationship the firm has established with that client, as well as to look for additional opportunities to provide service. Opening this dialogue could lead to a greater understanding of a client's needs by being in the right position to offer appropriate solutions.
In most cases, accounting firms will decide not to accept compensation or finder's fees. When granting a referral, many accounting firms suggest that in lieu of compensation the firm would rather the vendor pass along the savings to the client by way of lower fees or additional services. In this case, both the client and the accounting firm are well served.
Sometimes referral recipients can return tangible value through their own referrals. This is an ideal situation, and relationships with these sources should be a priority. Referral sources can also bring other value to the table. Some will host CPE classes for accountants, work with firms to secure speaking engagements, and possibly provide marketing or other expertise to the firm to enhance its growth initiatives. These proactive steps demonstrate that a referral recipient understands the CPA firm's challenges and those they are seeking to assist with indirect support. In some instances, this support can go a long way in helping an accounting firm attract new clients or secure more business from current clients.
Regular communication is another important factor for accountants to keep in mind when working with service providers. Sometimes long periods of time pass between referrals, which means limited contact. During these periods, there may have been significant changes within the provider's company or industry, adversely affecting the vendor's ability to provide the level of service the CPA firm's clients need. Therefore, it is good to maintain periodic two-way communication with referral recipients.
After a service provider is engaged by a firm's client, monitoring progress is important, especially for a new provider. The firm providing the referral should ask its client how things are going and if the vendor is meeting expectations. If all is going well, everyone is in a good position. If there are problems, the CPA firm will still look good because of its proactive communication.
Accepting the Bad with the Good
Along with the good, one also has to take the bad. Although problems can be minimized by choosing referral recipients wisely, it is common for referrals to not work out as originally intended or for vendors to make a mistake. Each case warrants review, and there may or may not be a need to stop using the provider. It is important, however, for accountants not to end a relationship over a single mistake or problem. Mistakes are in the nature of business. One referral that goes awry isn't necessarily evidence of a systemic problem with the vendor.
The most valuable long-term relationships are forged by communicating through problems and building trust. The way a service provider handles a problem or an issue with a client is often indicative of how it provides service. A service provider that works hard to overcome an issue and takes immediate responsibility may be the best kind to work with. If the provider handles a problem poorly and the clients are not well served, then certainly it is time to seriously rethink providing future referrals, even if the provider impacts the CPA firm positively.

The module works on Joomla 2.5 & 3.0
The module works with all versions of Joomla 2.5 and the new Joomla 3.0.
Choosing tracks to show
You can simply enter an URL into the module configuration to determine what is shown. Either a user URL to show all their tracks or the URL for a single track.
Customize the player
The module includes options to customize the player such as the colour and whether or not to show the artwork.
Installing the module
Install the module through the Joomla Extensions manager. Browse and select the zip file, then press 'Upload & Install'. When the module is successfully installed, you will receive a success message.
Using the module
Showing audio tracks in a Joomla module position
When the SoundCloud audioBox is installed, a module of the same name will be created which can be found in the module manager. Edit this module or create a new module of this type.
To get this module to appear in a module position there are three things to do. Firstly you must select the position which you want the module to appear in. Secondly you must set the status to 'Published'.
Finally you must select the pages you want the module to appear on.
This module is now set up so that it will appear in the module position selected, however you need to select which tracks you want it to display. This is done in the Options.
First go to the SoundCloud website and go to a user page or track page(page which plays a single track). Copy the url of this page and paste into the 'URL' field.
- Select whether or not to autoplay the module.
- Select whether or not to show the track(s) artwork.
- Select the colout of your player(optional).
When you save these changes the module will appear in the front end, in the position selected.
You can go back and edit the Options of the module at any time to get the module to appear as you would like.
Showing videos in a Joomla article
To display this module in an article you must make sure that the plugin 'Content - Load Modules' is published. To do this go to the Plug-in Manager.
You need to create a new position for the module that is not any of the actual positions of any template. For example, here I have made up the position 'hwd-position1'.
Then in the article insert the text 'loadposition ' followed by the position you gave the module (making sure to separate with a space). Enclose this in curly braces.
The SoundCloud auidoBox will then appear in this article in the front end. It will follow all the options you have set in the module.

Why Companies Remain Loyal to their Payroll and HR Service Provider
February 13, 2013 in Latest News
By Sandra Swanepoel, Director Sage VIP
Companies consider replacing their payroll and HR systems from time to time. The reasons may vary, ranging from questions about the technology and problems with service, through to group decisions, mergers or features that lack in current applications. The ten most reasons why Companies, that have been using Sage VIP for many years, continue with our product, are mainly the following:
- At Sage VIP CID 'Customer Intimacy Discipline' means that we deliver world class customer service. This can be attributed to the fact that we invest in customer service training, which uplifts and measures our employee performance on an on-going basis. It is addictive and clients that experience it want more, which explains why 99.39% of our users recommend Sage VIP as the payroll and HR solution of choice.
- The biggest cost facing companies is their human resource costs that need to be managed effectively. Sage VIP's software is designed in such a way that you can manage your ROI per employee or per department with optimum accuracy. The data is available online, in real time at the click of a button which underscores informed decision-making.
- How much do you need to know when you want to be a Payroll or HR consultant? At Sage VIP a graduate is given classroom product training for four months, which is followed by supervised practical sessions with the assistance of specialists. Some may consider it to be a bit of an over kill but when you work at Sage VIP you realise just how much a customer depends on your expertise, it can never be underestimated.
- Feature rich software sounds so yesterday, yet you cannot invest in anything less than that if you need software that is flexible. It is essentially an investment in the future of your business and if your payroll and HR system cannot cater for the requirements you never thought would happen, it will cost you dearly in the long run.
- Legislation is a must for all payroll and HR applications, and often I hear companies say that every payroll calculates tax; but how quickly are legislative changes made available, and does it include all the legislation? Catering for legislative changes means doing it across multifaceted environments and countries, accurately and comprehensively.

When I try to run the latest version of the DataProcessingPipeline I get the following error message:
However in the recal case class this option is set to be true: this.disable_indel_quals = true
Any idea how to solve this? It seams to me this is a bug, but I cannot find the source for the PrintReads class (guessing that its not in the public code), so I can't check it myself.
Regards, Johan
Is this error happening in the PrintReads step of the pipeline? Can you paste this part of the output?
Mauricio Carneiro, PhD http://www.broadinstitute.org/~carneiro/
Ok. I found the problem. I was being a bit hasty last night (writing my last post just before leaving for the day). The error is thrown by the BaseRecalibrator step, just as ebanks wrote. However, the "this.disable_indel_quals = true" is only set in the PrintReads step. I tried removing it there and adding it to the BaseRecalibrator step, and now its working. This is what the code looks like now, with the removed line just commented away to make it more clear.

Is it true that the --disable_indel_quals option is now removed from "BaseRecalibrator"? I am writing up my own pipeline using DPP scala (from a while ago) as a reference but I cannot find this option in the recalibrator. What does BaseRecalibrator now do to the indel quals? Thanks a lot!
That's correct, this issue only affected GATK Lite, so now that GATK Lite is gone, that option is no longer applicable. BaseRecalibrator does indeed recalibrate base qualities for indels in all versions form now on.

We were catching a very early flight the next morning so the location could not have been better. We slept very well there.

The staff was extremely rude. The place has a bad atmosphere, looks like an ugly whorehouse. Anyway, if you arrived in Pisa at night and has no place to stay, this place could be your last option.

My room had a strange smell like a toilet which didn't go away even with the window open. As soon as I checked in I went to see the tower and had dinner, when I got back I wanted to use the wifi. The password had not been left so I was unable to use the free wifi that was advertised. If you have an early flight I recommend getting up earlier than you need to so you will be able to access the bathroom. There was two other rooms leaving at the same time as me so I had to wait for the bathroom.

Understanding Your Tax Bill
Property tax bills are mailed on or about August 15 each year and payment is due upon receipt. Taxes not paid within 60 days of mailing become delinquent (usually on October 16). Delinquent taxes will incur a 5% penalty plus 1% interest per month on any portion thereof, figured on the principal plus the 5% penalty. Fi. Fa. (tax lien) of $21.00 on taxes less than $100 and $31.00 on taxes $100 and over, and any administrative levy fees incurred will be charged.
If you have not received a tax bill by August 31 or if you are a new property owner and cannot obtain a tax bill from the previous owner, please call our office at (770) 528-8600 or click here and enter property address for a duplicate bill. Checks should be made payable to Cobb County Tax Commissioner. Mail payments to: P.O. Box 100127 Marietta, GA 30061-7027 The county tax records must, by law, reflect the owner of record as of January 1 of the taxable year. The taxable year is defined as January 1 through December 31. If you purchased the property after January 1, a property tax return (to declare taxable property you own) should be filed with the Tax Assessors' Office between January 1 and April 1 of the following year. A properly completed PT-61 Real Estate Transfer Declaration form filed with the Clerk of Superior Court may serve as a property tax return if the property has not been subdivided, changed or improved and the transfer tax has been paid. The preceding year's final valuation will be considered as your returned value unless a new return is filed with the Tax Assessors. Mortgage Company Billing Information Usually escrow accounts are set up by mortgage companies for payment of property taxes. After the account is established, the mortgage company will send written notification to the tax office that they are paying the property taxes. A copy of the tax bill will be sent to the homeowner and the mortgage company. The homeowner is still responsible for making sure taxes are paid by the due date. If your mortgage company has recently changed or if you are a new homeowner, you should send a copy of the tax bill to the mortgage company. The Accounting Department coordinates with mortgage companies who are interested in receiving direct billing information and making payments by electronic CD. In order to receive direct billing information for manual payment, an account listing with a complete legal identification or description (District, Land Lot, and Parcel numbers) must be provided before June 1 of the tax year. The mortgage company will be assigned a numerical code which will be applied to the accounts requested and a computer listing of billing information will be generated. Mortgage companies requesting billing information to pay by electronic CD need to obtain our electronic processing procedures and file layout in order to create a request CD file which when run against our data base will mark the accounts requested and load the billing information on electronic CD. This CD file is verified by the mortgage company and then returned to our office with payment. For further information, contact the Accounting Department at (770) 528-8637 or make your request by fax (770) 528-8628.

Marcin Czubala > CHRONICLES OF NEVER h0useme1ster 2008/09/29 Music 1 Comment "Never say never," goes the old phrase, but Marcin Czubala might see it differently. For Marcin, never is a state of mind—not the site of the unthinkable but a space for alternate possibilities, imaginative leaps and unfamiliar physics. Chronicles of Never is a report back from Marcin's personal otherworlds, a collection of postcards from a fleeting place. There are those that say that house and techno are "singles genres," that they don't lend themselves to the album format. To the long list of albums that prove those critics wrong, add Chronicles of Never. Marcin's first album for mobilee—and in fact his first full-length since 2001, despite dozens of singles over the years—is not just a collection of dance tracks. While remaining faithful to an undeniable physical impulse, Marcin has granted himself uncommonly free rein to explore every corner of his psyche, with results running from the unburdened to the manic, from the sensual to the spaced-out. They all flow together like the colors of the spectrum, emotional states bleeding into others in tracks that twist and turn as imperceptibly as the moments of a long night out. The album's cohesive sense of freedom stems in large part to the way it was recorded, over a span of seven or eight months in which Marcin liberated himself from pressures and deadlines. Certain sounds and motifs occur and reoccur—muted hand drums, faraway voices, gleaming keyboards and dusty syncopations. But despite a certain consistency of mood—there's something hushed about Marcin's music, even at its most intense—every track invents its own world and operates according to its own logic. Not the logic of the club, or much less the logic of "minimal," but a unique atmosphere for each, a unique ecology of sounds adapted specifically to their environment. "Daybreak" makes for an obvious album opener, incorporating silken, luminous tones and a teasing set of chords; it unfolds as slowly and inexorably as its title would suggest. "Berolina," the album's first single, is all stoned seduction and weightlessness, full of contorted arpeggios, bubbly percussion and a devastatingly sexy female voice whispering sweet nothings in the listener's ear. Of the title, Marcin reveals that Berolina was the train connecting his city with Berlin, and thus "my first contact with the city, people, clubs and music." You can hear that youthful sense of expectation and uncertainty in every sultry, slightly creepy phrase. "Los Compañeros," inspired by Marcin's first tour of Mexico, is one of the album's stand-out club tracks, propelled by economical percussion and insistent looped vocals; halfway through, queasy keyboards fill the soundfield, making this one of the eeriest club hits of the year. "Pravda" is more upbeat, full of bright, glassy percussion with just the right degree of swing. But even here there's a smidgen of dread, a subconscious sense of unease that comes to the fore when a voice intones, "You can't trust anyone." What on earth is an "Alibi Room"? Judging by the course of this 11-minute track, the album's centerpiece, it's a place where fantastic narratives are spun, where reality is turned inside out. Accordingly, the song feels like a live set in miniature, a kind of short story that moves from chapter to chapter—from a dryly percussive intro to a curious breakdown in which an acoustic bass roams freely in a kind of reverie, and finally closing out with four minutes of nostalgic harpsichord. It's hard to say what exactly took place in the alibi room, but there's no doubt that you emerge different than you were before entering. "Dazed & Confused" offers the listener a chance to work all the doubt out of his or her system: it's a savvy exercise in focused, minimalist funk, with lots of tiny acoustic drum samples scattering like drops of water on a hot skillet. "Spectacles for Humans" takes a similar rhythmic idea and drapes it in jewel-like synthesizer tones. Echoes of Detroit resound in the warm strings that swell in the background. This is another daybreak track, but it hangs in the balance between the promise of a new day and the last contemplation of time past. "30 May 2007" expresses a similar sort of ambivalence, a hallmark of Marcin's very personal approach to music. Named in honor of the birth of his son, it is on the surface a celebratory track—but odd detunings and frantic arpeggios suggest the unease that invariably comes with fatherhood. It's a leap into dark water. The album closes out with two of Marcin's deepest tracks to date. "At the Beach in San Foca"—named in homage to the place where he first debuted the track, and which subsequently went mad—is a slow, controlled burn that periodically flares up in the form of muted horns and panned, echoing voices. Sweeping filters and syncopated piano chords push the track ever forward, while a deep sub-bass grounds it firmly in the now. Finally, "Be Water" slows down and practices what it preaches, sending sampled percussion and xylophone tones into a winding current that's tugged at by eddying chords; it's a liberating finale to an album that's all about finding one's freedom. "The advantage of electronic music is its freedom from interpretation," says Marcin. "I'm not giving you a painting, just the brush and the paints. Chronicles of Never is the chronicle of an imaginary place. Your place." Marcin Czubala CHRONICLES OF NEVER MOBILEE ALBUM 29th Of September Share & Like @Press ThisLike this:Like Loading...

We have a new board of directors, new management as well as a whole new staff. We have added an addition to the cat room with money from a donor as well as many other changes. We had enough money to put the addition up but not for anything inside we needed like stainless steel cages to help keep germs down in our facility to keep healthier animals and other items. We will have to depend on donations for any other items we may need. We do not euthanize for space. If we get over crowded we work with several reputable rescues to help our animals. Come down to our shelter and get a tour.Our Adoption Process:

If you are adopting a dog and you have other dogs we would require you to bring your dog to make sure your current dog and your potential new dog will get along. If all this goes well then you may adopt your new furry child. The cost to adopt a dog is $100.00. If the dog or puppy is not spayed/neutered already there will be an additional $100 deposit. The deposit isrefundable upon proof of spay/neuter. The cost to adopt a cat is $50.00 if the cat is spayed/neutered or $25.00 with a $50 deposit if still intact.

I just got back from a crazy amazing summer road trip. 1650 miles and 10 days, exploring my home state of California. I dined in terrific restaurants, saw natural wonders, toured cheese farms, and found myself in totally new and unfamiliar places. I also got to sleep in almost every day of the trip– no alarm clock, can you imagine?! What a treat! The past few months have been super busy, and I really needed to take a few days all to myself. Getting away and exploring the state left me well rested and inspired. I am so excited to share some of the culinary tidbits I picked up along the way.
Now that I'm back home and slowly returning to the "real world," part of me still longs to be on the road. But I'm convinced I can make the summer fun stretch another month. The answer? Peach Sangria! This sweet and summery beverage is crisp, clean, and very easy to prepare. Seasonal summer flavor, so cool and refreshing. It's like a mini vacation in a pitcher. Cheers!

Peach Sangria
- Place the sliced peaches into the bottom of the sangria pitcher.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool. This is your simple syrup.
- Pour the simple syrup, peach liqueur and white wine over the peaches. Stir.
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, top the pitcher off with chilled ginger ale and stir gently. Serve in wine glasses, allowing a piece of fruit or two into each glass.
- The ginger ale will lose its carbonation quickly in the pitcher, but will still add a great flavor. If you'd like a more sparkling sangria, top the glasses off rather than the pitcher. Fill each glass half full with sangria and top off with ginger ale. This will make the final beverage more carbonated and sparkling.

High-level computer programming language whose development was initiated in 1975 by the U.S. Dept. of Defense and standardized in 1983. Ada (named for the countess of Lovelace) was intended to be a common language for use on the department's computers, which were produced by many different manufacturers. It is similar to Pascal but contains many additional features convenient for the development of large-scale, multiplatform programs. The 1995 revision, called Ada 95, supports object-oriented programming.

We had a great time in Chattanooga. Both teams stayed in the same hotel which made it easier on us. We watched a lot of baseball games that weekend. Both my parents and Rob's dad came with us.
Our last day there was Katie's birthday so we went to the aquarium and Rock City.
I love this picture. This was her favorite part-touching the stingrays.
Some of our baseball buddies came with us.

Changing the agent-address for SNMP v1 pdus
So I'm wondering how can I have snmptrapd modify the agent-addr field for SNMP Version 1 traps before they get forwarded? I noticed that snmptrapd supports the ability to execute a program when it receives a trap using the traphandle directive. From the best I can gather, I would have to capture all traps and reissue them with the correct agent address for SNMP version 1 traps (I haven't tried this yet, but I'm about to run some tests)? Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing? Is there a way to just modify the agent-addr field for SNMP version 1 traps?
